Chapter 136 [King of Zhennan]
Nangong Wanhua was dressed in luxurious and close-fitting palace attire. She got off the sedan with the support of a distinguished chamberlain. The chamberlain deliberately lowered his head and bent over to make her look more upright and noble.
"You look good pretending to be a eunuch." Nangong Wanhua teased in his ear as she approached the eunuch.
The waiter was stunned for a moment, and then said with the skill of transmitting sound into his ears: "Don't be naughty, it's more important to do business."
"Huh, yes!" Nangong Wanhua and Ge Xian were often together these days. Gradually, their friendship deepened and they seemed to have become much closer. For example, sometimes Nangong Wanhua would get angry around Ge Xian, and Ge Xian would basically let her do it, but of course there were times when he wouldn't.
Seeing that Nangong Wanhua was still acting like a princess, Ge Xian quickly reached out and brushed a certain plump part of her body. She was stunned for a moment. Then she looked around and found that no one was seeing her, so she relaxed. tone, but then turned around and glared at Ge Xian fiercely.
Ge Xian's warning suddenly rang in her ears: "If you show your temper again, I will make you embarrassed on the spot. You have to think clearly."
"Huh, you're a disciple!" Nangong Wanhua's ears turned red, but she still didn't dare to gamble. She knew that Ge Xian was fully capable and didn't care about her status as a princess.
Today, she came to visit someone in person, and this person was the King of Zhennan, Nangong Xiong, who was standing at the gate to greet her.
This King of Zhennan is a legendary figure. In fact, his bloodline is more pure than Nangong Wanhua's. He belongs to the lineage of Taizu of the Lu Kingdom, while Nangong Wanhua belongs to the lineage of Taizong.
Later, due to the competition between the sect forces behind each, the Taizu lineage gradually lost, and the Taizong lineage officially took over the power of the Lu Kingdom.
But after thirty years of Hexi and thirty years of Hedong, now Taizong's line is about to be defeated, and King Zhennan, who represents Taizu's line, has entered the sight of all forces.
"Wanhua, how long has it been since you last visited me, your uncle?" King Zhennan is almost fifty this year, but he is well-kept, like a man in his early thirties, with a full head of black hair, a flowing beard, and delicate facial features. His sharp edges and corners, coupled with his wealth and status, are extremely attractive to women.
Nangong Xiong had more than 80 wives and concubines in half his life, with an average of two concubines per year. It is said that the youngest concubine was less than twenty years old, even one year younger than Nangong Wanhua, and the oldest concubine was forty. The rest of the year is really different.
"Uncle Huang, my niece has been studying abroad since she was a child. The rules of the school are very strict. After coming back, she was sent to various places by her father many times. This time she comes back and can finally rest for a while. Now I come to say hello to Uncle Huang." Nangong Wan Although Hua has been away from home since he was a child, he is very experienced in dealing with the royal family.
When Nangong Xiong saw this, he smiled, stopped mentioning it, and invited her to formally enter.
The rockery and flowing water in Zhennan Palace, coupled with a large number of precious trees, make it no less impressive than the Imperial Garden. Some of the flowers and plants are even unique.
"Wanhua, the emperor is asking you, do you know what kind of flower this is?" Nangong Xiong suddenly pointed to a rare purple and white flower in the pond not far away and asked.
This flower sticks out of the water to a height of about one foot. The lower part of the flower bud is purple and the upper part is white. There are nine petals, and the stamens in the middle are stacked in layers, exuding a special fragrance.
Naturally, Nangong Wanhua didn't know her. Nangong Xiong asked this, perhaps because he wanted to show that he and she were not the same person.
At this time, Ge Xian's voice came to her ears, and she quickly repeated: "Uncle Huang, if you guessed correctly, this flower does not grow in the wild, but was deliberately raised by someone, and its name is—— Evil flower, right?”
Nangong Xiong suddenly had an incredible look in his eyes, staring at Nangong Wanhua, trying to see a clue on her face, but unfortunately he couldn't, so he had to give up.
"Sure enough, a famous teacher gave birth to a great disciple. I thought you would only learn some Buddhist teachings from the old nun of Miao Kong Mountain, but I didn't expect that your horizons were so high that it exceeded my uncle's expectations. Not bad!" Nangong Xiong had to re-examine this man he hadn't seen for a long time. His niece, in fact, he and she have never been familiar with each other, but they are involved because of their blood relationship. As for her visit today, she feels that the person who comes is unkind.
Nangong Wanhua breathed a sigh of relief and glanced gratefully at Ge Xian next to her. However, Ge Xian looked indifferent and calm, like a thousand-year-old pine. She felt a little unhappy and could only lament his vast knowledge. .
Nangong Xiong's sleeves shook, and a dagger appeared in his hand. It was blue and exuded bursts of cold air.
Nangong Wanhua frowned, feeling a little threatened, but Ge Xian's voice came to her ears: "Don't worry, no one can hurt you as long as I am here."
These words made Nangong Wanhua feel warm instantly. Once upon a time, she wished that a strong man could protect her, but unfortunately she never got it.
Seeing that Nangong Wanhua only felt uneasy for the first few breaths, but soon calmed down, Nangong Xiong had to sigh that his imperial brother had a good daughter.
With a flick of Nangong Xiong's wrist, a burst of sword energy suddenly broke through the air from the blue sword and went directly into the palace's servants, making them terrified.
One of the chamberlains knelt down in horror, clutching his stomach. While vomiting blood, he asked in confusion: "Your Majesty, why?"
"Where are you sent from? Do you really think I don't know? I gave you a chance to confess, but you are still stubborn. It's hard for you to tolerate it in my house for more than ten years. It's a pity that the information you sent out was all made up by me. , In this way, you are also a big contributor to me, I will give you a ride!" Nangong Xiong laughed.
The servant suddenly roared, and all his internal energy surged out. The injuries on his body seemed to be no longer so important at this moment, and he decided to fight to the death.
An unexpected incident occurred in the palace, and it happened in front of Nangong Wanhua, which made her feel that this chamberlain might not be simple and might have something to do with her.
However, she will not make any move at this time. Nangong Xiong's murderous intention at this time is substantial, and he will definitely take the opportunity to kill her. Although she is protected by Ge Xian, she does not care, but the purpose of her trip is cooperation, not making trouble. collapse.
The undercover chamberlain's body shape changed violently at this moment, and his whole body lay down, forming a humanoid monster with a humanoid upper body and a spider-like lower body.
"Sure enough, he is not a mortal!" Nangong Xiong seemed to have expected this change.
"King Zhennan, I didn't want to kill you so early, but since you found out my identity today, you have no choice but to take action earlier." After saying that, the monster opened his mouth and spit out a black thread, and fired directly at Nangong Xiong. come over.
The blue dagger in Nangong Xiong's hand burst out with dazzling blue light and slashed at the spider silk.
collapse!
The spider silk was actually very hard. The knife did not cut it off, but instead shocked Nangong Xiong's blood.
"They are just mortals, but their martial arts skills are higher. Compared with us monks, they are just ants." The monster laughed, and then the spider silk wrapped around Nangong Xiong again.
The guards of the palace immediately rushed up and protected him. Soon, guards were being tied up by the spider silk and then slapped aside. Some guards were even directly stuck by the spider silk and thrown into the air.
Nangong Wanhua was about to come to the rescue, but was stopped by Ge Xian.
"Why, what do you mean by this? Isn't this a good opportunity to show your kindness?" Nangong Wanhua asked anxiously. The guard who was thrown into the air screamed in horror and was about to fall to death on the spot.
Ge Xian shook his head and said: "It's just a show in front of you, and it's not time for you to enter the show."
"This..." Nangong Wanhua had already trusted Ge Xian for a long time. When she saw this, she gave up her previous idea. Under the protection of Ge Xian and other chamberlains and maids, she retreated slowly.
Although everyone knew that she was also a monk, they did not relax their protection of her.
A thread of spider silk suddenly struck and turned into a large black net, apparently trying to cover them all.
A palm force was struck out, and the big net was torn open immediately, but Ge Xian stood in front of him. The other guards, chamberlains and maids breathed a sigh of relief and continued to retreat, but the way back was blocked because of the large number of palace guards. The guards blocked the entrance to the courtyard.
Finally, the guards who were swept into the air kept falling down and fell into the pool, and the water in the pool began to boil.
The strange purple and white flowers began to emit bursts of mist, and it was purple, which immediately caused the guards who fell into the pool to struggle.
A sucking sound came, and the guards suddenly felt out of their wits. Then the whole person was sucked dry at a speed visible to the naked eye, and a large amount of life essence was sucked into the flower, causing its petals to slowly turn purple.
And its middle stamen develops in the direction of gold, and the original white color becomes less and less.
The evil flower lives by devouring human life. It is an ominous thing. It is said that when it is devoured until it bears golden fruits, it can rejuvenate people. Therefore, many people want to use this to increase their longevity.
"Isn't this the same as the Bliss Sect?" Nangong Wanhua asked with a pale face.
Ge Xian nodded and said: "This King of Zhennan seems to have taken refuge in the evil sect. If I were not sure that he was in the fairyland, I would suspect that this is the devil's world."
"There are also many demon cultivators in the Immortal Continent. It's really hard to tell, sometimes." Nangong Wanhua said with emotion.
At this time, as the monster continued to strangle the palace guards, palace chamberlains, and palace maids, Ge Xian still stood in front of him. No matter how the monster attacked, it would always be split with one palm, making it gradually grow fearful.
King Zhennan also narrowed his eyes at this time and looked at Ge Xian, feeling that this person was very extraordinary.
At this time, perhaps because there was too much movement, a long roar came from the direction of the palace's back house, and then turned into a majestic thunder, falling from the sky, falling with a crash, and hitting the monster.
"I'm not willing to..." The monster raised his hand and shouted this, but still fell down and turned into a pile of ashes.
Looking at the evil flower in the pond, it has withered, but it is unclear whether there is a golden elixir in the stamen.
