On the Wushang Lake, there is a tent boat with a white head on the bow and a slightly stooped old man with a bamboo hat on his back. The sleeves of his arms are slightly rolled up, revealing a strength that is incompatible with this age group. His hands are slowly rocking the oar. , the ship was neither in a hurry nor slow, sailing forward with amazing smoothness.
At the stern of the boat, there was a girl in a long black silk dress, with skin as smooth as gelatin, waist as tall as a willow, and a beautiful face, but her eyebrows were slightly wrinkled, as if she was thinking about something unhappy. Sitting on the bow of the boat, hugging his knees, staring blankly at the lake.
"Miss, it's cold on the bow, go inside and rest." At this time, a middle-aged woman in a purple skirt came out of the boat, put a cloak on the girl's shoulders and advised her.
The girl is also a foundation-building monk, so naturally she will not be infected by the wind and cold in the world. However, every once in a while, there will be an extremely terrifying cold air coming out of the Wushang Lake. Even the golden elixir monks will not be able to bear it when they enter the bottom of the lake. Live, although they are on the lake now, the girl, a foundation-building monk, will still be affected to some extent if she stays at the bow of the boat for a long time.
"I don't know how my father and mother are doing now, or whether they were ever well." The girl sighed quietly.
"After all, the prince is your majesty's flesh and blood. Although he was punished for a while, he did not lose his life. He just lost his freedom temporarily. Maybe after a period of time, your majesty will think of the old relationship and forgive the prince. The prince has a good reputation. If you have a kind heart, you will definitely not end well." The woman in the purple skirt comforted her. "The only thing that the prince cannot let go of now is the princess. Miss, you have to take care of yourself. If you break through to the golden elixir stage as soon as possible, you may be able to save the prince."
"Well, Aunt Xu, I understand. When I get to Yueyin Villa, I will concentrate on my cultivation and strive to break through to my current state as soon as possible." The girl Xiang Lian'er nodded and said seriously.
Xu Wan, the woman in purple skirt, sighed in her heart. Although she persuaded Xiang Xinyi in this way, she didn't know in her heart whether there was really a prince or a pardon. One day when she returned to the imperial city, several princes in the imperial city were scheming and competing for power. He used all means to fight for the throne, and the prince died young. The second prince, Wuying and Wang Xiang Qiong, was quite favored, and he was very likely to ascend to the throne of prince. However, he was framed by several other princes, and his own practice went wrong, causing him to become blind. , was imprisoned by his elderly Majesty. Even if he is released again, Xiang Qiong, who is blind, will lose the possibility of inheriting the throne. Since the founding of the Xiang Kingdom, no disabled person has succeeded to the throne of emperor.
Xiang Qiong's power was almost uprooted instantly. In order to prevent Xiang Lian'er, his only daughter, from being persecuted, Xiang Qiong arranged for him and Iron-Armed Yuan Gang, the old man who punted the boat, to take Xiang Xinyi away from the imperial city. , go to Wushang City, the junction of the Great Qi Kingdom, the Tianwu Kingdom and the Three Kingdoms, where the forces are mixed. Xiang Qiong's house is kind-hearted and generous, and he also has a group of old people who are loyal to him. However, Xiang Lian'er's status is unusually noble, and he also has the possibility of inheriting the throne of emperor. I'm afraid that the princes in the court may not be relieved. They haven't been found yet, and they probably haven't grasped their whereabouts yet. Although he and Yuan Gang are also Golden Elixir monks, they are only in the middle stage of the Golden Elixir. Once the princes send out assassins, Xu Wan has no idea how long he can hold them back. . I just heard that Wushang City is located at the border of several countries, and the order is relatively good. We can only hope that everything will be peaceful in the future, Xu Wan sighed inwardly.
Suddenly, Xu Wan felt that there seemed to be a slight change in the speed of Yuan Gang's paddle, and he immediately looked forward with a vigilant expression. I saw a larger boat breaking through the water quickly. The first one, a man with gray hair but a majestic face and a normal middle-aged face, stood with his hands tied.
"My servant, Fu Mingyuan, has come specially to greet the young master!" The handsome man stood at the bow of the ship, and bowed to Xiang Lian'er from a distance of dozens of feet.
"Welcome, young master!" Dozens of other black-clothed monks on the ship knelt down on one knee on the deck, their voices uniform.
"Wow!" At this time, Lu Xiaotian was originally planning to wait for these people to pass before emerging from the water. However, the deterioration of his injuries was beyond his expectation. In addition, in order to avoid the cold air from Shuiting, Lu Xiaotian could no longer hold back. , popped up between the two boats. Poof, a mouthful of blood dyed the water surface a small patch of bright red.
Fu Mingyuan, who had been waiting in Wushang City for a long time, suddenly changed his expression slightly. It was late autumn, when Wushang Lake was very cold. Normally even the golden elixir monks would never go down to the lake, but something suddenly appeared in front of him. A silver-haired monk, but he didn't look in good condition.
When Xu Wan and Yuan Gang saw Lu Xiaotian, they looked wary and quietly protected Xiang Lian'er in the middle.
"This man looks injured, let him come to the boat." Seeing Lu Xiaotian's pale face and his body shivering under the cold air, Xiang Lian'er couldn't bear to say.
"Miss, we are in a special situation now. The origin of this person is unknown. It is better to have more trouble than less trouble. Let him fend for himself." Xu Wan advised in a low voice.
Lu Xiaotian took a breath. He originally thought that he would be able to leave with his sword when he reached the water. However, the speed of the injuries in his body worsened beyond his expectation. The dual invasion of the misty sword energy and cold energy in his body made him tired to cope with it. Even under serious injuries, he took a breath. Temporarily unable to fly with the weapon. As for Ice Healing, he has already used it. It can only repair the existing injuries in the body, but it cannot further prevent the destruction of the misty sword energy. It treats the symptoms rather than the root cause. He originally thought that everything would be fine if he escaped through the teleportation array, but he didn't expect that the power of this ethereal sword energy was the only one he had ever seen in his life. Now Lu Xiaotian urgently needs a place to recuperate, but there are several golden people in front of him. The alchemy monk is now in a state that cannot bear the battle. As for Di Kun, since he swallowed the inner elixir a few years ago, he is still in the critical period of improving his strength. If he is not forced to do so, Lu Xiaotian does not want to interrupt his practice. Of course, if these people have bad intentions, that would be a different matter.
"It's better to rescue him. It's still a human life at least." Xiang Lian'er sighed quietly. Although she was not a good person, her family was in decline at this time and suffered great changes. A large number of the original people in the palace were executed, and she felt desolate. Seeing Lu Xiaotian's current situation, it was easier than usual to soften his heart.
"Young Master, what this fellow Taoist said just now is right. Wushang City is located between the three countries. There are too many desperadoes, and there are also a lot of people who have lost their homes. Young Master, even if you want to control it, you may not be able to control it. He looks quite strange, and even if he is saved, he might still be a disaster." Fu Mingyuan said with a smile.
"Young lady will decide how to act. There is no need for Fellow Daoist Fu to make decisions for the young lady." Xu Wan originally disapproved of rescuing Lu Xiaotian, but Fu Mingyuan was just a steward of Yueyin Villa, and there was something unexpected in his tone. Xiang Lian'er has a decisive attitude and wants to dominate the young lady. If this momentum is not suppressed as soon as possible, Xiang Lian'er will probably be controlled by this person even when he goes to Yueyin Villa in the future. No matter what intrigues there will be later, or if you want to beat this person up, you must make a statement at this time. In comparison, the original action of whether to save Lu Xiaotian was insignificant, but now the meaning inside it has become significant. Same.
