General's Mansion.
Liao Nanchong was sitting on a chair, and standing next to him was a warrior wearing armor. He knew he was a soldier at a glance.
The warrior stood respectfully in front of Liao Nanchong, looking extremely nervous, and his legs were shaking unconsciously.
As a lower-middle-level officer in the Imperial Army, at the early stage of cultivation at the prefectural level, it was such an honor to be personally received by General Liao.
But Xia Ming didn't think so. He knew that Liao Nanchong's ambition would not be content with this world, and he was quite dissatisfied with the three princesses. He always wanted to fight out and restore the Hanliang Empire.
Xia Ming is not biased towards any party, but he is still grateful to the third princess, Di Xiyan, for her kindness. If it were not for Di Xiyan, he might still be chopping firewood and hunting in a remote ravine.
After Di Chengtian came, he hit it off with Liao Nanchong and discussed how to grow stronger. It was best to fight out immediately.
Even Prime Minister Fang Chenghua was persuaded by him, and some people who remembered Emperor Xiyan's kindness chose to remain neutral. In the end, they couldn't bear the purging over and over again, and finally put Emperor Chengtian on the throne, as if he had replaced Emperor Xiyan.
It's just that Di Xiyan didn't know it. Some people who put forward different suggestions have been sent to the mines to dig gold.
He, Xia Ming, was not willing to dig gold mines, and of course he was not willing to do anything that would harm Di Xiyan. Compared to such a thing, he would rather go to the mines to mine. After all, General Fu Xiangdi took the three of them there.
"Commander Xia, there is an errand here that you need to do."
Finally, Liao Nanchong spoke up. Xia Ming was beating a drum in his heart, but he still answered bravely: "Excuse me, what is General Liao's errand?"
Liao Nanchong glanced at Xia Ming, and then said unhurriedly: "That's it. When Di Xiyan went to Huxin Pavilion, he was worried about bringing back a young man. The young man was seriously injured. Before leaving, he took out a The jade bottle is said to be able to help young people heal their wounds. After much thought, Commander Xia and Liu Zhouyue are relatively acquainted, so they should be able to complete this task."
Xia Ming's anxious heart finally relaxed. It turned out that it was a simple matter like giving pills, wasn't it a piece of cake?
"Okay. I will definitely finish it."
After receiving the jade bottle handed over by Liao Nanchong, Xia Ming said respectfully with a fist in his hand.
Watching Xia Ming leave, Liao Nanchong snorted coldly, stood up and walked into the inner hall.
Xiyanju.
Li Qingxiao gradually woke up. He did not open his eyes, but emitted spiritual consciousness. At this time, the spiritual consciousness at the fourth level of Qi training had reached thousands of miles away.
Looking at the plants and trees here, the chirping of birds and the fragrance of flowers, there was no joy in his heart, but instead a trace of worry.
He once cultivated to the level of the Immortal King and was no stranger to things like small worlds. He felt that this should be a powerful small world.
wrong.
How could something like a small world exist in such a place lacking spiritual energy? Could it be that it was abandoned here?
Thinking of Di Ying and Lu Jiutian at the bottom of the lake, his heart seemed to suddenly lighten up. Thinking about it, it was very likely that practitioners of this low-level interface or high-level interface would come.
Although he was unconscious and seriously injured, his consciousness was still there, and he clearly knew that the mysterious woman named Di Xiyan had brought him here.
However, his consciousness discovered that this woman was sitting on a pavilion in the middle of a lake, with four prefectural-level maidservants serving her attentively. Surrounding the lake were unfinished concealment formations, and more than a dozen people. Heaven-level warriors were guarding the surroundings.
Is this under house arrest? However, judging from Di Xiyan's expression, she didn't look like she was under house arrest at all, and she seemed so relaxed.
"Sister Zhouyue---"
A man's voice interrupted Li Qingxiao's continued use of his spiritual consciousness. Upon hearing this voice, he immediately withdrew his spiritual consciousness.
Before he understands the situation, he doesn't want to get involved prematurely. However, if someone is unfavorable to him, don't blame him for being rude.
Liu Zhouyue heard Xia Ming's voice and said, "Commander Xia, please come in."
At this time, Li Qingxiao's consciousness glanced at Liu Zhouyue. Although she was a personal maid, she didn't look like a maid at all. On the contrary, she looked handsome, and her bun was like a small fan, making her even more dignified and generous.
"Sister Zhouyue, these are the healing pills that the princess ordered to bring."
With that said, Xia Ming handed the jade bottle to Liu Zhouyue.
Liu Zhouyue took the jade bottle in confusion. The princess had obviously given her the space bag, so why did she give her the jade bottle alone?
No, there must be something wrong here.
This was Liu Zhouyue's first thought. Looking at Xia Ming, she couldn't help but asked worriedly: "Princess, where are you now?"
According to previous practice, the princess has returned to Xiyanju after attending court. Why hasn't she returned yet?
Could it be that Emperor Chengtian imprisoned the princess and then used this fake pill to poison the princess's friends?
Thinking of this, her heart trembled.
"The princess is at the Huxinting Pavilion now, alas-"
After Xia Ming said it, he couldn't help but sigh.
'What did you say? Say it again, Commander Xia. '
Liu Zhouyue thought she had heard wrong. Thinking about the princess's cultivation at the peak of heaven level, she would not be afraid of that Emperor Chengtian. Even if there was a big battle, there was no way she could keep the princess. She really couldn't figure out why the princess went to the middle of the lake. Where is the pavilion? That's the best place to put people under house arrest.
Especially since she heard half a year ago that a formation would be set up at the Huxin Pavilion to serve as a top-secret intelligence agency in the future.
"Sister Zhouyue, what I said is true. The entire Hidden Sect already knows about this. General Fu Da and four others have already gone to mine gold mines."
"What?"
After listening to Xia Ming's words, Liu Zhouyue sat down on the chair. Even General Fu went to dig gold mines. What was going on?
After a long time, Liu Zhouyue stood up, clasped his fists, and said slowly: "Thank you, Commander Xia. The princess did tell me to give pills to this friend, but I was too busy and confused, causing Commander Xia to run away."
"It's no trouble. If sister Zhouyue needs anything in the future, just ask."
After saying that, Xia Ming left happily. He didn't expect that this errand was completed so smoothly.
As soon as Xia Ming left, Liu Zhouyue quickly closed the door and threw the jade bottle into the garbage basket.
She glanced at Li Qingxiao on the bed and said calmly: "The princess is in trouble. As a maid, Zhou Yue must go. Although she will be broken into pieces, she will have no regrets. This is the princess's instructions. The Qi Qi Pills for you are all placed here. , As for the Tianling Fruit, more than a thousand of them have been absorbed by you. I hope that after you recover, you can take action for the princess. I, Liu Zhouyue, will repay the favor to the young master by being a cow and a horse."
After saying that, she wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, took out a long sword from the space bag, and rushed out of the door.
As soon as Liu Zhouyue went out, Li Qingxiao's consciousness was released again. This time he planned to explore the back of the Hidden Gate Hall.
At this time, in a small room behind the Yinmen Hall, Di Chengtian was standing in front of a bed covered by a curtain in the small room. Nothing could be seen clearly inside, as there seemed to be a barrier to isolate him.
"My lord, I don't understand why I put Emperor Xiyan under house arrest in that lake pavilion. Wouldn't it be simple to kill him? Keeping him alive would always be a big disaster."
Di Chengtian clasped his fists and faced the curtain, showing great respect.
"Cough---cough---"
For a long time, coughing and gasping sounds came from the curtain, "Huh, Emperor Chengtian, you have broken my rules. Don't ask if you shouldn't ask. As long as you know, you can only sit on the Hanliang Empire if you cooperate with me." The throne of the emperor.”
"Yes, Lord."
Di Chengtian quickly replied.
"My subordinate thought that all he had to do was cast a life-and-death ban on that person, so why did he give me the Xuan Ming Pill?"
"The ban on life and death is the emperor's ultimate skill, not ours. Do you think Emperor Xiyan and Fu Xiangdi can't use it? And using the Xuanming Pill as a guide, once the ban is touched, think about the consequences."
Hearing the words of the people in the curtain, Emperor Chengtian suddenly realized: "I understand, the Lord means that whoever tries to break the ban on life and death will be poisoned by Xuanming Pills, and the antidote of Xuanming Pills Only in the hands of the Lord, it is indeed a brilliant move.”
"snort---"
A cold snort made Di Chengtian tremble in fright. It was obvious that the people in the curtain were very disgusted with Di Chengtian's flattering behavior.
"Hey, someone here is actually using his spiritual consciousness. The Hanliang Empire really is a hidden tiger and a crouching dragon."
After the people in the curtain made a sound of surprise, a series of knives condensed from their spiritual consciousness quickly struck towards Xiyanju.
"Di Chengtian, go to Xiyanju immediately. That man is indeed interesting. He actually has divine consciousness. Moreover, I did not sense Xuanming Pill in his body."
"Go kill him?"
Di Chengtian asked doubtfully.
"Idiot, he only knows how to fight and kill, so he must take the Xuanming Pill. I have my own use for such a handsome man."
"yes."
Although the people in the curtain called him a fool, which made him very unhappy, he still had to do it for the sake of his ambition to be the emperor.
"ah----"
Unfortunately, Li Qingxiao immediately felt a series of divine consciousness knives slashing at his sea of consciousness. With a "pop" sound, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and his sea of consciousness was cramped.
Li Qingxiao quickly circulated his true energy, trying to rush up to the sea of consciousness to nourish the injured Zifu. However, as soon as he mobilized his true energy, there were three hidden obstacles in the upper Dantian, middle Dantian and lower Dantian.
How could he, who was once the Immortal King, not know that someone had placed a restraint in his body? However, these three restraints were not enough to kill him. It was probably the result of the mercy of the person who placed the restraint.
In almost a moment, the surging true energy had broken through the three prohibitions, and a steady stream of true energy surged into Zifu, nourishing the injured Dantian.
A quarter of an hour later, his sea of consciousness had not recovered at all, but had a tendency to collapse. After a period of panic, he calmed down.
How come there are people here who can perform spiritual consciousness skills? It’s simply appalling. Even if this is a small world, how come even top-level skills are being used by people?
Especially since he was already cautious with his spiritual consciousness just now, he was still discovered by the people in the curtain and was seriously injured.
It's also his own fault for being greedy. In order to see clearly the face of the person in the curtain, he brought his consciousness so close to him, and it's no wonder that the person noticed.
Thinking of this, Li Qingxiao's mind immediately flashed to the time when something like this happened in the Jingyi Sect, where his consciousness was attacked by the Jingmen Heart Technique.
However, this time, someone actually knew the spiritual consciousness technique, which made him feel as if he had fallen into an ice cave. He originally wanted to reach the fourth level of Qi training, and he should be able to gain a foothold in the Hanliang Empire, but it seems that it is far from enough.
