Chapter 27: Out of the Bird Clan Safely
"Kami...... Shizuka, Kazuka...... I'm ...... here" A small voice came, and Shizuka heard it. Recognized that this was Lan Ling's voice. Shizuka was so excited that her eyes lit up and she looked around. "Girl, where are you, come out ......"
"Cave...... I'm ...... in the cave," Lan Ling said, suppressing his voice.
Shizuka and Xuan Mo both followed the sound and found that there was a small cave next to the lush tree trunk not far away, the entrance of the cave was not big, but it could allow a person to get in and out, as for how big it was, I don't know.
"Hey, hey, why are you hiding here, come out quickly!" Shizuka bent over to the entrance of the cave, Lan Ling cautiously poked her head out, "I can't go out now, they're arresting me, I'm in trouble! God, you come in!" Lan Ling was scared and didn't dare to come out.
"How can I get in at such a young age!Okay, wait for me!" Shizuka prepares to use a spell to make it easy for her to get in.
"Oh! God, God, don't use spells, you'll be discovered! You're like me, just crawl in!" Lan Ling hurriedly stopped Shizuka.
"This ...... climb in?I'm a god, you let me drill a hole?" Shizuka cares about the image the most, and she is naturally unwilling to do such a thing.
"Come in quickly, as soon as you find out, it's bad, hurry, hurry, hurry......" Lan Ling urged.
Shizuka squinted her eyes and looked at Lan Ling, she couldn't let go of her body, and when she was standing at the entrance of the cave and hesitating, Xuan Mo squatted down, took small steps, and moved in from the entrance of the cave. Shizuka was dumbfounded. Stupid.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the ...... dignified Heavenly Clan, is actually drilling a hole now, Lan Ling, Lan Ling, I think only you have such a good ability! Hey...... forget it, the prince has drilled, and I don't care about it so much!" So Shizuka flicked her sleeves, and she also attached herself, and slowly got into the cave. While drilling, he muttered: "I, Jingxiang, am a god, how would I do such a thing, if these old things in the Heavenly Palace knew about it, I wouldn't laugh off my big teeth!"
One after the other, the two of them got into it smoothly.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, Shizuka, why are you here?" Lan Ling was much relieved when he saw the two of them, and seemed to see hope and was overjoyed.
"Hey, hey, that's dirty!" Shizuka stood up, flicking the dirt off her body.
"We haven't asked you yet, why are you here?" asked Xuan Mo solemnly.
"This...... this! I broke in by mistake. Lan Ling lowered her head, and when she saw Xuan Mo's serious expression, she felt a little empty. "I still can't rest assured that Hongxiu, so I wanted to go to the Xinwang Mansion to have a look, and then I found a black shadow, and also sneaked into Hongxiu's room, wanting to see what was going on, so I followed all the way! Lan Ling knew that he seemed to be in trouble again.
"What, how could the Wing King go to the mortal Hongshu's room?" Shizuka asked.
"I don't know, at first I thought it was a thief, the Wing King left me and went in to take a look, and I didn't find anything abnormal!" Lan Ling asked.
"Okay, I'll send someone to investigate this matter, now let's get out of here first!" Xuan Mo wanted to leave quickly.
"Hey, hey, wait, two gods, I can't take this off!Who can help me!" Lan Ling stretched out his arm for Shizuka and Xuan Mo to see, only to see a bright red feather bracelet wrapped around Lan Ling's wrist.
"What is this? It's so beautiful, it's beautiful, it's beautiful!" Shizuka curiously stepped forward to touch it.
"It's Teng Yu!" Xuan Mo said.
"What? This is the Teng Yu that the Bird Clan is looking for now?" Shizuka couldn't believe her eyes.
"This one ran into my hands, I really didn't steal it, it came to my hands on its own, it's true, you have to believe me! I want to take it off now, but I can't do anything! It just doesn't come from. What can I do!" Lan Ling reached out for Shizuka to help. "Teng Yu, God, what do you say this is Teng Yu?" Lan Ling asked puzzled.
Shizuka tugged at Lan Ling's wrist and looked around. "Let me try. Shizuka tugged at Teng Yu, but didn't move at all. "Let's try it together. Shizuka said to Lan Ling. So the two of them worked together, pulling and pulling, but the Teng Yu still didn't move at all, and it was still firmly on Lan Ling's wrist.
"There's no need to waste your strength, this Tengyu has not moved for hundreds of thousands of years, and how many generations of Wing Kings have not succeeded in influencing it, and now it is the master!" Xuan Mo said.
"What?" Shizuka and Lan Ling were both amazed.
"Lan Ling, Lan Ling, what kind of luck are you, you sneaked a trip to the Bird Clan, and you got such a treasure! It's really a fool's luck, hahahaha......" Shizuka smiled.
"What baby? You say this feather is a baby, why didn't I see it?" Lan Ling carefully looked at the Teng Yu on his wrist.
"I'm afraid you have to have a lot of contact with Teng Yu, so that it can really be used by you, according to your current spiritual cultivation, you can't control him well, take your time!" Xuan Mo said. "Since you can't take it off, then I'll help you hide him first, so that it won't be too obvious when you go out. ”
"It's still thoughtful with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" Lan Ling asked curiously, with a little more peace of mind. "I don't know yet, what kind of treasure is this Tengyu?"
"Teng Yu has been in the bird clan for tens of thousands of years, it is a holy object nourished by the Wing King with essence blood in the past dynasties, the mana is needless to say, since it has been in the Teng Yu Ding for tens of thousands of years, no one can control it, I didn't expect that today I confirmed that you are the master." Xuan Mo explained to Lan Ling.
"Let's go out quickly, it's dirty and dark here, it's really not a good place, Lan Ling, next time you want to hide, also find a better environment, tsk, tsk, tsk, look at it, look at what it is!" Shizuka looked disgusted, pointing to the cobwebs in the corner.
Since I was a child, my father was afraid that I would be bullied, so the first skill I taught me was to escape, and the second skill was to hide. "Speaking of which, Lan Ling's experience is very rich.
"Oh, don't say so much, let's go, let's go!" In this cave, Shizuka didn't want to stay longer for a moment.
"Wait, it's too conspicuous to go out like this, what if you get bumped into, you have to think of a way, you can't let Lan Ling show up!" Xuan Mo thought for a moment. "Ordinary stealth techniques definitely won't work. Shizuka, when you go out in a while, let Lan Ling possess you, I will definitely find a way to take you away as soon as possible! The current bird clan is a very special time, and an uninvited guest has just arrived! Presumably, You Jing also had to stay here as a last resort. Xuan Mo looked at Lan Ling, "I lost Teng Yu again, it must be on high alert! We are careful in everything, try not to clash with the bird clan head-on!"
Lan Ling looked at Shizuka's embarrassed appearance and smiled. "Don't worry, God, I've been eating less lately, and it's not as heavy as before!
Shizuka was helpless, the prince opened his mouth, no matter how much he didn't want to do it in his heart, he could only bear it now. Shizuka glanced at Lan Ling. "Okay! Okay!" Shizuka and Lan Ling face each other, and at the same time used spells, Lan Ling disappeared instantly, and a wisp of pink fairy qi was ethereal, and instantly entered Shizuka's body, and Lan Ling and Shizuka merged into the same person.
"Shizuka has worked hard!" Lan Ling attached himself to Shizuka's body, not forgetting to thank her.
This is an illusion that allows one person to attach to another person's body, and it looks like it is still possessed by another person, but the only difference is the voice of the speaker. Because the voices of two people are fused together, it sounds a little weird, and it is different from usual.
"Shizuka, remember, you won't have any inconvenience in your movements, just try not to speak. ”
"Know!" a deep strange voice came out of her mouth, Shizuka frowned, quickly covered her mouth with her hand, and nodded vigorously. You must know that Shizuka is a talker, and it is more uncomfortable than anything else to keep him holding back and not talking, but for the sake of the overall situation, Shizuka can only try her best to endure it.
"Okay, let's go now, in order to avoid suspicion, we still have to say goodbye to the Wing King!"
Shizuka nodded reluctantly.
The two came to Shizuka's Golden Hades Temple, and when such a big thing happened, everyone couldn't sleep.
"Wing King, can Teng Yu be found?" asked Xuan Mo. Shizuka next to her endured it, always reminding herself that she couldn't speak.
"Not yet, there is no clue now, don't hide it from His Royal Highness the Prince, before Teng Yu was lost, I found out that someone had infiltrated the Bird Clan, and that person has not been caught now, it seems that the same person did it!" You Jing also wanted to find out what Xuan Mo meant, after all, he couldn't directly ask if someone from the Heavenly Clan did it.
"Oh, there is such a thing, who is so bold and reckless!" Of course, Xuan Mo knew that what You Jing was talking about was Lan Ling. "At this time, the stakes are very high, and we must find out! I just investigated with Shizuka in the clan, and I didn't feel that there was anything wrong! Why don't ......we go back first, if the Wing King needs anything, you can come to the Heavenly Palace to find me at any time! As for the frequent entry and exit of the Bird Clan soldiers into the mortal world, please continue to pay attention to the investigation, I have just investigated, and every time I find something wrong, but the Wing King must not be negligent again!"
"Okay! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can rest assured that You Jing will definitely clear the internal affairs as soon as possible!" At this time, You Jing also found that there seemed to be something wrong with Shizuka, why Shizuka, who has always been talkative, kept his head down and didn't say a word. Look in the eyes, but it's not easy to ask directly.
Xuan Mo saw that the atmosphere was awkward, and it was really not appropriate to stay for a long time, so he hurriedly said goodbye to You Jing and left the Bird Clan's territory with Shizuka.
The two of them walked through the white clouds again, Shizuka couldn't stand the suffocation, and the spell was separated from Lan Ling's body, and the three figures flew at the same time.
"Oops! this time it's much faster, hahaha...... "Lan Ling is in a good mood to be able to get out of trouble."
"I'm the real stuff, I don't dare to get out of the air!" Shizuka complained.
Xuan Mo looked at the two, smiled, and did not speak.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, where are we going now?" Lan Ling sped up and caught up with Xuan Mo, who had been in front.
"Let's go to Shizuka's residence in the mortal world first, and after settling down, then make plans!"
The three of them arrived at Shizuka's place in the mortal world in a blink of an eye.
"You settle here first, Shizuka will accompany you, I will go back to the Heavenly Palace first, there are still many things to deal with, be careful to hide the Teng Yu on your wrist, don't let outsiders find out!" Xuan Mo was still not at ease, and told him over and over again.
"I will definitely be careful, Your Highness, don't worry!" Being able to get out of trouble safely, Lan Ling's body and mind are relaxed.
At this time, in the palace of King Xin of Zhao State, Hongxiu stood alone in the garden, the breeze was slow, blowing his hair, a few leaves fell from the branches, the fallen leaves were desolate, Hongxiu's face was sad, his arms were still wrapped in thick gauze, and he could vaguely see mottled bloodstains oozing out.
"Lord Wang, why did you get up, be careful of catching a cold!" The maidservant Xiyu hurriedly went to the room and took out a gray-black velvet cloak and draped it on Hong Xiu.
"Thank you. Hongxiu looked back. "Xiyu, you've been in the palace for many years, right?"
"Back to the prince, it's been 13 years!" Xiyu replied with her head down. At that moment another leaf fell.
"You see, when the time comes, the leaves will fall on their own, even if you don't want to, this is a fact that no one can change, and people are the same!"
"Lord Wang!" Xiyu probably understood what Hongxiu meant, and it was inevitable that she was a little sad.
"If one day I'm gone, you can take good care of Yingxue for me! He's a sensible child!" "I hope she is a child born in an ordinary family, maybe at a young age, she doesn't have to go through so much pain!"
"Lord Wang, Xiyu is a subordinate, and it is right to take care of the princess, you must not say that!" Xiyu fell to her knees with a thud, and was already in tears at this time.
"Get up! Just remember what I said! In this palace, you are my new trustworthy person!" Hongxiu stretched out his hand to help Xiyu up. But Xiyu kowtowed to the ground and refused to get up.
"Lord Wang, Xiyu is guilty, Xiyu deserves death, he has betrayed the trust of the prince, woo woo woo woo ......" Xiyu couldn't help crying.
The maid Xiyu couldn't kneel on the ground, facing Hongxiu's trust and care for so many years, Xiyu felt that she felt very guilty, but it was too late, the poison she had scared Hongxiu had penetrated into the bone marrow, and it was difficult to heal, and it was only a matter of time before she hurt her life.
"Get up, I don't blame you!" Hongxiu said lightly.
"Lord Wang...... you, do you know everything?" "Lord Wang. When did you know?" looked up at Hongxiu with teary eyes.
"I've known since the first day you poisoned my medicine!" replied Hongxiu.
"Then, then why are you ......" Xiyu was full of surprise.
"The emperor wants to kill me, what can you do, if I don't die, I'm afraid the last one in the entire Xinwang Mansion won't survive!" "Maybe it's a matter of God's will......"
"Lord Wang, I shouldn't have exchanged your life for my family's life, it's all Xiyu's sin!" Xiyu didn't dare to raise her head, and her remorse deepened. "Maybe! Maybe we can find the best famous doctor who can heal your injuries? Yes, I will definitely be able to, I will go to find it, please let Xiyu atone for his crimes!" said Xiyu stood up and was about to leave.
"No need, maybe only immortals can cure my poison, haha, what immortals are there in this world!" Hong Xiu joked. "You just remember that after I die, you have to protect Yingxue no matter what, and if necessary, you can find General Chao Xue, he will definitely help you!"
"The slave and maid have committed such a heinous crime, and you can rest assured that the slave and maid will protect the princess?" Xiyu didn't expect the prince to say this.
"After so many years, I know who you are! If it weren't for the life of your relatives, you wouldn't be so confused!"
"Yes, Lord Wang, I will definitely protect the princess and use my life to atone for my sins!"
The queen's means should not be underestimated, and she sent someone to secretly investigate and learned that Xiyu had stopped poisoning Hongxiu, and there was no turning back when she opened the bow, so it was impossible to stop at this time.
"Useless man, tell my brother, find an opportunity, kill it!" said the queen lightly, teasing the bird in the golden wire cage. The birds next to him chirped a few times.
"You also think useless people should be killed, right?! Hahahaha...... not as sensible as my birds, and can often make Honggong laugh, isn't it!" The queen picked up a spoonful of rice and put it in the food box in the golden wire cage, and the little bird ate it with relish.
The queen's brother secretly solved Xiyu's life according to her wishes.
Within a few days, news came from the palace that Xiyu had been killed by robbers on her way home to visit her parents. Everyone in the palace sighed, and they all felt that it was strange to cherish Yu's death, but no one dared to say more. The matter quickly reached Hongxiu's ears.
"It's too much to deceive people! I'm already like this, why don't I still want to let it go!Do you really want me to die now, brother, do you really want to be so cruel?" Hongxiu's eyes were full of tears and a look of anger.
At sunset, the afterglow of the sun shone all over the earth, orange-red, the silence of the Xinwang Mansion was broken by a roaring sound of iron hooves, and a team of armored warriors firmly surrounded the Xinwang Mansion, and the water was impassable, and the people everywhere were in an uproar, theorizing one after another, not knowing what was going on.
"Everyone listen, King Xin colluded with the Liao State to assassinate the emperor, and now the human and material evidence is there! Your Majesty has a will, the evidence is conclusive, King Xin quickly come out and confess his guilt, otherwise he will be killed!"
"Everyone listens, King Xin colluded with Liao State spies to assassinate the emperor......"
A soldier who took the lead shouted loudly into the palace, shouting over and over again.
"Brother, brother, what are you shouting outside, what's going on, they said you assassinated the emperor......" Ying Xue heard the sound and hurriedly ran to Hongxiu's room, wanting to ask clearly.
Hearing such a shout, the guards and maidservants in the house were also in a panic.
"It seems that this catastrophe cannot be avoided today!" Hong Xiu said.
"Someone outside my brother said that you colluded with the secret agents of the Liao State, and also framed Ye Cairen as a spy, Xiyu was killed, and your handwritten letter to the Liao State was found on your body?" "This is just nonsense!Brother, I'm going out to reason with them?" said Yingxue and was about to rush out the door.
"No need...... you want to add to the crime, there is no excuse! Sister, you have to remember! No matter what happens next, don't come out, take this fan, and hide in the dark room in the house! Remember! No matter what the sound is, don't come out!" Hong Xiu's eyes widened, and in a commanding tone, he warned Ying Xue, and stuffed the box containing the earth brake mirror fan into Ying Xue's hand.
"No, don't, brother, don't leave me alone, I'm afraid, brother ......" Yingxue couldn't hold back her tears anymore, after all, he was just a teenager.
"Remember what my brother said! You are my brother's only hope, don't let my brother down, okay!" Hong Xiu's tone softened, comforting the sister in front of him, and his eyes were already hazy with tears.
Yingxue turned around and walked to the bed, nodded, and hugged her brother tightly. "Brother, don't leave and be afraid of me......"
"Okay! Hurry up and hide in, no matter how late, I'm afraid it's too late!" Hongxiu hurriedly pressed the button hidden under the bed, and at this time, a small door slowly opened on the wall.
"Come in, there is some dry food and water in it, remember not to come out!" Hongxiu pulled his sister up and stuffed it into the small door.
"Brother, don't leave me, brother......" Yingxue's small body was forced into the door by Hongxiu. With a bang, the door closed, and Yingxue's cry was never heard again.
The subtlety of the darkroom here is that you can hear the outside from the inside, but you can't hear the sound from the outside.
Hong Xiu dragged his seriously ill body, put on his armor, the wound on his arm collapsed again, and there was no more blood, Hong Xiu held a long sword in one hand, and walked out of the gate alone in the sun......
The matter of King Xin's collusion with the Liao State has spread throughout the capital, and everyone is talking about it. Naturally, this voice also reached the ears of Shizuka and Arashi.
"Hongxiu colluded with the Liao Kingdom, is he a thief? God, did you hear that from the outside?" Lan Ling couldn't believe his ears, and hurriedly ran over to ask Shizuka.
"Yes, you heard that right!" Shizuka stared at the chessboard, fiddling with the pieces in her hand without looking up.
"How is this possible, didn't he kill the spy of the Liao State? is a great hero, how can this mortal emperor be so confused?" Lan Ling was very angry at this time.
"Whether it's in the sky or on the ground, as long as it's the royal family, there will be such a drama, the battle of the royal family, you haven't experienced enough, you don't understand it!" Shizuka seems to be used to seeing the hot and cold world, and the royal family is slaughtering.
"You said it so lightly! This murder and false accusation has become human nature, how can there be such a reason in this world! No! I'm going to help!" Lan Ling said and was about to leave, looking menacing.
"Oh, my little aunt, just stop for a while, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and I finally rescued you from the bird clan, and even the small hole was drilled, what kind of trouble are you going to make here......" Shizuka knew the lesson of the last time, and did not relax for a moment to Lan Ling's advice.
"However, Hongxiu was indeed wronged, you also know, aren't we immortals, don't we always say anything to benefit the common people, how can we ignore such a thing!" Lan Ling shook off Shizuka's hand and rushed straight out. Lan Ling's speed was so fast that Shizuka was thrown away.
"Hey, I can't go, I can't go!" Shizuka quickly turned around and chased after him.
Halfway through, Shizuka grabbed Lan Ling again, and this time she was already prepared, and she must have caught it and couldn't let go.
"Don't stop me, let me see what is going on!" Lan Ling continued to struggle.
"Okay, if you want to go, I'll go with you, but, let's not care about mortal affairs, it's all destiny, do you know......" Shizuka was anxious to get into the room, for fear that Lan Ling would cause some trouble again. After all, it is not only the mortal Hongxiu who has to face, but also the second prince of the Heavenly Clan, Zeyang.
While talking, the two came to the sky above the courtyard of King Xin's mansion, and saw Hong Xiu wearing armor and carrying a long sword coming out of the house. Outside the gate of the courtyard were hundreds of soldiers, blocking the water around the palace. More than a dozen guards in the palace also carried swords and followed behind Hong Xiu.
Hong Xiu stood still, looked back and saw dozens of guards following, turned around and clasped his fists and said: "Hong Xiu's trip is a road of no return, thank you for your love." ”
"Lord Wang, let's go with you!" said the crowd.
