The identity of the masked man was determined, and it seemed that everything had been figured out.

Why did the young emperor deliberately leave Xue Jian in the imperial study to appreciate calligraphy until late at night.

In order to drag him down, so that the killers of Qianji Pavilion can attack the post house and kidnap Concubine Yue.

Why did the young emperor seem to have been prepared for a long time, and deliberately prepared paper, ink, pen and inkstone in the imperial garden, so as to test him and expose his identity.

Because Xue Jian had bought Helian Chong and Yun Ping's information in Qianji Pavilion, the young emperor had already guessed that Helian Chong was fake.

He knew that Xue Jian wanted to buy Liufeng's information, and he deliberately asked Xue Jian to kill Liufeng, which was the most shrewd.

First, you can test Xue Jian's attitude towards the Witch King's Palace, and second, you can buy people's hearts.

Having such a city at a young age, and being able to become the behind-the-scenes master of the Thousand Machine Pavilion, this emperor is not simple.

He thought seriously for a moment, looked at the girl and said.

"When I'm gone, you can go see your royal brother again. ”

The girl in the green skirt looked a little disappointed and asked in a low voice.

"When are you leaving?"

Xue Jian replied lightly.

"Tonight. ”

If it was only for a day, she would be able to accept it, so she quickly returned to her relaxed appearance.

She asked with a smile.

"This bell on your waist is so strange, why doesn't it ring? And your skin is so white, is it so white for people from other places?"

Xue Jian didn't answer her strange questions, and asked rhetorically.

"What's your name?"

The girl in the green skirt held her hands behind her back, the corners of her lips rose, revealing the two cute little dimples on her lips, and smiled.

"My name is Xuanyuan Qiuyao, because my royal brother likes Qinglian very much, so my title is Qinglian, everyone calls me Princess Qinglian, you can call me Qiuyao, you can also call me Qinglian. ”

The little girl is lively and active, she belongs to the kind of person who can't be idle, and she seems to talk a lot, but Xue Jian likes her character very much.

He smiled faintly and nodded.

"Then I'll call you Princess Qinglian. ”

Qinglian sounded full of vitality, while Qiu Yao gave people a sense of sadness and sadness in autumn.

The girl nodded, and chattered again, like a little sparrow that couldn't stop.

"I also like people to call me Princess Qinglian, my imperial brother has obtained the title, but it is not ordinary.

By the way, you shouldn't have met my imperial brother, he is very talented, he reads poetry and books at the age of five, and at the age of seven he can write chapters and recite poems, unlike me, I only like to play everywhere, I don't like to read and write. ”

Xue Jian suddenly regretted a little and chatted with her for a few words.

This little girl is just a talker, and she can't stop talking.

He could only pretend to be listening, but his mind was immersed in healing.

It seems that there is such a listener, the little girl thinks it is very good, she doesn't need Xue Jian to answer and deal with it, she can talk very well alone.

Time passed slowly, from morning to afternoon, except for a meal in the middle, the little girl was alone next to Xue Jian and talked for a full day.

From her royal brother to her mother, from her mother to the palace maids and eunuchs, and then from trivial matters to her childhood anecdotes, and finally she talked about the Witch King's Palace.

"You should know the Wuwang Palace, it is the most sacred place in our Nanming Empire, I often sneaked in to play when I was a child, it was very interesting. ”

Xue saw that he was not listening very seriously, he was always in the left ear and out of the right ear, but when he heard the three words of the Witch King's Palace, his heart moved, and he took the initiative to open his mouth for the first time.

"I've heard of the Witch King's Palace, where the Witch King lives, and he is the most powerful wizard in the entire Nanming Empire. ”

Princess Qinglian nodded like a chicken pecking rice.

"Yes, yes, the Witch King is very powerful, it is said that he has reached the level of the Great Witch, since the founding of our Nanming Empire, except for the first generation of the Witch King, only the current Witch King has reached the level of the Great Witch. ”

Hearing this, Xue Jian was shocked in his heart.

The wizards of the Southern Ming Empire did not have a very clear division of the hierarchical realm, only a vague concept.

Like wizards who have just started, they are all at the level of small witches, and after the spiritual power reaches a certain level, they are called middle witches.

Further up, the most powerful wizard in the legend can curse thousands of people with one word and overthrow a country with one skill, and this level is called the Great Witch.

Of course, there will be an element of exaggeration in this kind of legend, but even if it is exaggerated, a wizard who becomes a great witch has the power to destroy a country.

If you compare it with the realm of a martial artist, Xiao Wu is equivalent to the Quenching Body Realm, the True Vein Realm and the Dan Yuan Realm that have just started.

And the middle witch has reached the level of the Mixed Yuan Realm, the True Yuan Realm, and the Returning Yuan Realm Little Grandmaster.

As for the Great Witch, it can be compared to the Great Grandmaster of the Three Realms in the Martial Arts, or even stronger.

After all, the power of the Great Witch's curse is very terrifying, and if the Great Martial Arts Master really encounters such an opponent, it is likely that he will be cursed to death before he gets close.

It can be seen from this that if the current witch king really reaches the level of a great witch, how strong it will be.

Xue Jian could only pray now that the Nine Dragons Stone Tablet was still in the hands of Liufeng and had not fallen into the hands of the Witch King, otherwise he wanted to take it back, unless he cultivated to the Great Grandmaster.

"I heard that there is a war going on in the north now, and the Witch King is so powerful, did he also go to the north to participate in the war?"

Xue Jian asked pretending to be curious.

Princess Qinglian was simple-minded and did not have the slightest precaution, so she nodded and said.

"Of course, the Witch King is so powerful, he will definitely go with the army, but few people know about it. ”

Xue Jian's mind immediately came alive.

Through the information he bought, he learned that Liufeng was in the Wuwang Palace, and after waiting for this military ceremony, Liufeng would become the new commander of the army, leading the newly recruited soldiers and horses from all sides to rush to the north.

Perhaps, the absence of the Witch King is the best opportunity for Xue Jian to recapture the remnants of the Nine Dragons.

He asked, pretending to adore the Witch King.

"Princess Qinglian, I actually have a lot of respect for the Witch God and the Witch King, can you take me to the Witch King's Palace to have a look?"

The little girl's big eyes were rolling around, as if she had thought of something, and she immediately became vigilant.

"You sneaked into the palace, you probably wanted to sneak into the Witch King's Palace, right?"

Xue Jian thought about it, made up a lie, and said with a sad expression.

"In my hometown, there is a plague that is spreading and many people are dying.

I heard that the statue of the witch god in the palace of the witch king is the most effective, and this time I sneaked into the palace and wanted to pay homage to the statue of the witch god, praying that the witch god would dispel the plague and save my hometown. ”

How did the girl raised in the deep palace know that people are cunning, she almost immediately believed Xue Jian's words, and her expression also showed sadness and sympathy.

Seeing her like this, to be honest, Xue Jian felt the condemnation of his conscience, but he had no other way, if he wanted to enter the Witch King's Palace, he could only rely on this princess.

"It's pitiful, I'm willing to help you, but you have to pretend to be my personal little eunuch. ”

Xue Jian nodded and agreed, he had pretended to be a woman, what was it to pretend to be a eunuch.

At the same time, he felt very guilty about this simple and lovely little girl.

After thinking about it, Xue Jian took off the soul bell on his waist and handed it to her.

"This bell is called the Soul Bell, it can predict danger, once it rings, it means that danger is coming, you can take it with you, you can defend yourself. ”
