Liang Xingyang trapped Ni Huanwen with his sword, first collected his five Magnolia Needles, and then rescued Xia Yuanjun, breaking the imprisonment on him.
Xia Yuanjun was restrained by the Six Desire Taoist using the secret method of the ghost path. He could not move from head to toe, and could not move his eyes, but he could still see and hear. He was only surrounded by a layer of hazy black air, making it difficult for him to see clearly and hear clearly. But he could generally understand what was happening outside.
In his eyes, Liang Xingyang was originally a down-and-out kid from the south, but suddenly he transformed into an immortal who knew magic. He also killed a cult demon on the spot and subdued a second-grade high-ranking official!
After regaining his mobility, he looked at Liang Xingyang with shock and envy in his eyes.
"Don't look at me." Liang Xingyang asked him, "What should he do?"
Xia Yuanjun went to the stone table first and took the sandalwood box that Ni Huanwen gave to Taoist Liuyu.
When Ni Huanwen saw this scene, he sighed helplessly and desperately and closed his eyes.
"Catch him! Let's take him back and report to my father."
Liang Xingyang stretched out his hand and pointed out something in the air. Ni Huanwen passed out. They are still in the formation. Although this formation is a maze, it is not meant to trap people. Ni Huanwen asked people to set up this formation just to study some secret things in it. No. Being disturbed by the outside world, once it is turned on, the outside cannot come in. The key point of control is inside. Liang Xingyang did some research to find the key, opened a gap in the formation, and followed Xia Yuanjun out.
Liang Xingyang was shorter than Xia Yuanjun, but he could carry Ni Huanwen as lightly as he was carrying a bag. He used the Xuan Qiong Nine Heavens Escape Technique, shrunk down to an inch, and followed the direction Xia Yuanjun pointed, directly to the inner courtyard of Prince Ming's Mansion.
His Xuan Qiong escape technique is very magical, but there are also experts in the Ming Palace. As soon as they appeared, four young people in red followed an old man with white hair and fell from the sky. The four young people were holding wild goose feather swords with four corners separated. The old man was holding a fly whisk, his face glowing red.
They thought someone had invaded the palace, and were filled with fear and anger. The palace was protected by formations, and almost no one could enter except through the main entrance. At this time, someone used a secret method to escape directly. They hurried over to get the person. When they saw it was Xia Yuanjun, I was surprised and asked quickly what was going on.
Xia Yuanjun was the young master of the palace, so he took Liang Xingyang directly to find his father without any explanation.
Ming Wang Xia Cunhao, the emperor's younger brother, is now under thirty. He still looks very young, but he has the poise of a seventy-year-old.
Xia Yuanjun came back with the wooden box, handed it to his father, and told what happened just now.
Prince Ming was very calm, his facial expression did not change much, as if he was listening to something that had nothing to do with him, and there was no hint that his own son had just experienced a life and death twists and turns.
He waited quietly for Xia Yuanjun to finish, then took the wooden box over and took out the contents. His face was expressionless when he looked at it. After reading, he put the things aside: "Okay, I understand this. You go back to the yard. Let’s rest here, eat something, and go see the Feather Talisman.”
"Yu Fu? What happened to him?" Yu Fu was the boy following him. When his father mentioned Yu Fu, his heart suddenly rose to his throat.
"He was unfavorable in guarding the prince, so he was beaten with five hundred cane lashes and imprisoned in the woodshed."
"Ah?"
"Of course it's you who's wrong!" Xia Cunhao's tone became slightly more serious, "But you are a prince. I can't beat you but him. He has treated you well."
Xia Yuanjun hurriedly said: "Thanks to his contribution in taking care of the children in the past few years..."
"I'll beat him to death without thinking about his merits! He will definitely be beaten to death next time." Xia Cunhao waved Xia Yuanjun off.
Xia Yuanjun added: "Then Liang Xingyang is still waiting outside..."
Xia Cunhao interrupted him again: "You don't have to worry about those things. You just go back to your own courtyard and be grounded for a month. You are not allowed to come out again! Otherwise, everyone around you will be beaten to death!"
Xia Yuanjun had no choice but to withdraw with tears in his eyes.
Liang Xingyang looked at his flat mouth, feeling very sad and aggrieved, and asked what was wrong.
Xia Yuanjun shook his head gently and was about to say something when the white-haired old man said, "Please, young prince. The prince asked you to go and eat first." Xia Yuanjun had no choice but to wipe his tears and walked out of the yard.
Then, Xia Cunxu sent someone to invite Liang Xingyang in.
Liang Xingyang frowned slightly and stepped into the palace. Xia Cunhao stood in front of Duobao Pavilion with a smile on his face and waited: "Are you the two young masters who saved Jun'er's life? He said that you are younger than him, but I don't believe it very much. , I didn’t expect it to be true, please take a seat.”
Liang Xingyang took a look and saw that this prince had a very good attitude. Why did he make Xia Yuanjun so aggrieved?
He sat on the chair, and Xia Cunhao ordered someone to serve fragrant tea. He praised Liang Xingyang a few times, asked his name, asked about the sect's dojo, and finally pointed at the box: "Have you seen the contents inside? "
Liang Xingyang said: "I practice immortality and don't care about the affairs in the court. Ni Huanwen told Liuyu Yao that it was the evidence to bring down Mr. Yue Lu. I didn't read what it was specifically, and I wasn't interested."
Xia Cunhao nodded and asked, "What do you think of Mr. Yue Lu?"
"I have never met Mr. Yue Lu, and I don't know what kind of person he is. I only know that he just organized troops to put down the White Bone Sect's rebellion."
Xia Cunhao nodded again, then changed the topic, talked to him about some common things, and asked him where his ancestral home was. Liang Xingyang said that he was from Liangzhou, and by the way, he also talked about the Golden Lantern Sect. Xia Cunhao looked surprised. Se: "The Golden Lantern Sect is spreading in Jiangnan? People here in the capital don't know anything about it. People who come here every month say that the harvest is plentiful and the people's livelihood is prosperous. If it is true as you said, 80% of those local officials have joined the cult! "
Seeing his reaction, Liang Xingyang felt that there was a reason: "Your Majesty, the Golden Lantern Sect is a complete cult, even more hateful than the White Bone Sect. The harm of the White Bone Sect is obvious. As long as you concentrate your strength, you can still get rid of them, but the Golden Lamp Sect can be eliminated." The Lantern Cult quietly corrupts officials at all levels, then uses the power of local officials to seek benefits, and mobilizes the people to kill each other. Now their followers are everywhere in the south of the Yangtze River. Although they don't rebel on the surface, in fact their nature has changed!"
Xia Cunhao was convinced: "This matter... ugh!" He suddenly sighed again.
Liang Xingyang asked what was going on. In his opinion, a prince's words were powerful enough to destroy a local cult with just one sentence.
However, Xia Cunhao hesitated and briefly explained the reason: "You are young and have been born to cultivate immortality. You may not know that according to the laws of Daxia, the prince must go out to join the vassal when he reaches adulthood. I am in the capital because of the emperor's special permission. I have lived here till now. But the vassal king does not allow me to interfere in politics. Although my status is respected, I cannot go beyond the rules. This matter..."
Liang Xingyang was dissatisfied: "Is this just the end of it? You can't even control it?"
"I can't control it, but someone can." Xia Cunxu asked his servants to get a jade pendant and handed it to Liang Xingyang, "I am extremely grateful to you for saving Jun'er this time. I have been married for many years, and I only have a son like this. He is young but high-spirited. He always wants to do something for Daxia. He runs out every two days. Today is the most dangerous one. Thanks to meeting you, Xiaozhenren, he is saved. This jade pendant It is the East China Sea Dragon Soul Jade, which was personally sacrificed by Master Hanzhang of Shenlu Sect. It is the most nourishing thing to carry with you, so I gave it to Xiao Zhenren... Don’t refuse. Tomorrow you will take this jade pendant to the Ministry of Punishments to tell you about this. thing."
"Who should I talk to?"
"You can talk to anyone. If anyone is willing to listen, just talk to whomever you want."
