Three people despite speculation.

But those immortal gods who died in the Demon Emperor Tribulation in the Mythical Era, they are not qualified enough to know.

But if they don't know, it doesn't mean that the head of the sect doesn't know.

Judging from the fact that the master of the sect attaches so much importance to it and sends an envoy to the royal capital to invite the King of Ease, this young man is likely to be one of the most remarkable immortal powers.

Therefore, whether it is Fu Qiuyue, who regards Fan Chen as a dog, the happy and powerful Wine Sword Immortal, or Fang Zhen, who is "rich and oily", they all want to make this order.

This would completely change their fate.

Even because of the entanglement of powerful cause and effect, you can change your life.

These three people, in their respective sects, are also extraordinary, on weekdays, in and out of the sect, they are all disciples bowing their heads respectfully and shouting "Uncle and Aunt", but here, they are cautious.

Correct...

These three people were still forgotten by Xia Ji in the downtown area.

He's too busy.

On the surface, he was busy listening to Huang Feixiong's various instructions, after all, he was the nominal general, and Huang Feixiong, the head of the Seven Dragon-Protecting Generals, had to ask him what big decisions he made.

In addition, the Wang family has obviously joined the battle for the heir, and they have chosen to support the three princes this time.

...

The third day before the expedition.

He was invited by Wang Qiqi to Wang's house and said that he would have a meal.

Xia Ji thought that this snow-clothed lily of the valley was the fiancée that his sister pointed out for him, and he could get along with himself, so he definitely had to give this face, so he went.

This banquet can be regarded as a pleasure for both guests and hosts.

After three rounds of drinking, it is often the time to get down to business.

At this time, as if an appointment had been made, there was a sound of the wheel hub turning outside the door of the old mansion.

Guests have arrived.

Soon, a small servant ran to lead the horse, and Wang Ge Lao actually got up to greet him personally.

The heavens and the earth seemed to be windy, whistling through the streets and alleys.

In the middle of summer, this is a sign of impending heavy rains.

But for the magnates, the rainstorm is nothing more than having fun in the house.

Wang Qiqi explained softly: "Xia Ji, you don't have to get up, the person who came is the third prince Ji Changming, and he wants to recognize you as an uncle." ”

Xia Ji: ???

"Why didn't you tell me about this?"

Wang Qiqi lowered his voice and said in his ear: "These three princes are considered to be the best among the remaining three princes, but they were pressed too hard by the prince before, so they were clumsy."

And if you talk about the eldest and youngest, the third prince is also the eldest prince, and those stubborn old courtiers will not have an opinion.

Originally, my Wang family would not be in such a hurry, but the Son of Heaven was seriously ill, and it was estimated that the battle for the heir was fast, so my grandfather was in a hurry to bet on the treasure.

Not only my grandfather, but also the civil and military families of the Manchu Dynasty have been testing and observing for a period of time, and now they basically acquiesce to the ascension of this prince. ”

Xia Jiqi said: "What does that have to do with me?"

Wang Qiqi glanced at him: "You will be my husband in the future, and I promised the queen mother that I must take good care of you, so naturally I want to tie the three princes to you, so after the three princes succeed to the throne, you are the uncle of the country, and the emperor's own family, which is also for your good." ”

Xia Ji smiled and didn't say anything more.

He looked to the side, and the girl, who had known him for a long time, was a little distracted, as if she was thinking about the future of the family.

After a pause, a hearty laugh came from outside the door.

Wang Qiqi pushed Xia Ji and said: "The prince is here, you don't have to do anything, he will recognize you as an uncle." ”

As if sensing something, Wang Qiqi whispered again: "Xia Ji, I know I didn't tell you in advance, you may be unhappy, but now that people kneel to you, you won't lose." ”

Xia Ji nodded indifferently.

Outside the door, a man wearing a golden four-clawed dragon suit strode in, with a beard on his lips, a faint smile between his lips, and his eyes were full of a kind of luster that washed away the lead.

Wang Qiqi got up and bowed: "I've seen the three princes." ”

Xia Ji didn't, he felt that this prince didn't seem to have any kindness to himself.

Really...

Ji Changming stared at him, and suddenly said coldly: "King Xiaoyao, do you think that I will recognize you as my uncle like the eldest brother and the sixth brother?"

As soon as these words came out, the people around were stunned, Wang Qiqi showed a look of anxiety in his eyes, and he was about to speak, but he saw the pavilion elder behind Ji Changming looking at her quietly, and then shook his head.

Wang Qiqi was stunned.

She still didn't care about Wang Ge Lao's head, and said directly: "Your Royal Highness the Third Prince, you also said before that you wanted to recognize King Xiaoyao as your uncle, so my Wang family built a bridge from it and let you know King Xiaoyao." Why are you like this now?!"

As soon as she spoke, she saw Wang Zhengshi behind the third prince glaring at her fiercely.

Wang Qiqi realized that he had lost his words.

She thought about it for a moment, and suddenly understood.

This time and that time.

The reason why the six princes recognized their mother and uncle was because Xia Ning won the battle with Wen Yi, and it was even rumored that there might be a terrifying power behind the queen.

And the reason why the prince recognized his mother and uncle was because Xia Ji was unrivaled for a while, becoming the third king with a different surname in the Great Zhou, and the alliance between the elder forces and the queen's forces made him have to use all his scheming to recognize Xia Ji as his uncle in order to seek fair competition.

But...

Right now.

Everything is different.

First, the demon monk Jizo of Yin Si killed the crown prince, which almost broke the rumor that Yin Si was the force behind the queen.

Second, King Xiaoyao became a prince, but he did not take the opportunity to develop, in the final analysis, he is still a prince who does not have much power, and this time the 50,000 army went down to the rivers and lakes, and some people at the top of the elite know that the actual controller is Huang Feixiong.

Third, the Son of Heaven is seriously ill, and once he dies, the status of the queen will change greatly.

So...

Ji Changming would speak like this.

At this moment, the third prince listened to Wang Qiqi's question, just smiled lightly and shook his head, but he didn't get angry with her, but just looked at Xia Ji, who was still sitting, and said: "My Ji Changming stands up to the sky, kneels to the sky and kneels to his parents, but he won't kneel to you, if you think that I and my eldest brother and sixth brother are so soft-boned, then you are wrong." ”

His voice was calm, loud, and even a little domineering.

Xia Ji asked lightly: "Then do you still recognize me as an uncle?"

Ji Changming laughed loudly, as if he had heard a particularly ridiculous joke, and then he didn't even pay attention to this veritable little white-faced free king, and walked towards the depths of the lobby, Wang Ge Lao naturally followed, leaving only the extremely embarrassed Wang Qiqi sitting beside Xia Ji.

The drinking and talking just now seemed to be a false dream.

Xia Ji said: "I'm leaving." ”

Wang Qiqi: "Xia Ji... I really didn't know it was going to be like this. ”

Xia Ji: "I know. ”

Outside the door, a rainstorm is coming.

Wang Qiqi said: "I'll send you, it may be raining outside." ”

Xia Ji nodded.

Wang Qiqi called the carriage in the house.

The two of them got into the car.

There was a crackling sound.

The scarlet curtain that covered the ceiling kept collapsing.

The raindrops the size of beans danced and collided with the wind.

The driver of the car raised his whip.

The car moved.

The two of them sat in the car, and the noise outside the car was very loud, so the conversation between the two in the car did not have to worry about being heard by the driver.

Wang Qiqi got closer, and analyzed in a soft voice: "The third prince is usually not such a person, he is angry with you, he wants you to go to the queen mother, and then your sister and brother will do it, you are likely to launch another prince when you do it, and as long as you do this, you will enter this situation of seizing the heir, which is nearing the end."

After entering the game, the third prince can take the opportunity to use your sister and brother to act prestigious, because you have no family background. He doesn't even need to make a move, he can win, and then he can trample on the past crown prince, the six princes, and even your reputation, and elevate himself in one fell swoop, so that the courtiers in the court can return to their hearts in one fell swoop.

None of these princes is simple, when the prince is still there, these three princes seem to be very low-key, but they didn't expect their scheming to be so deep. ”

Xia Ji looked at the torrential rain outside the window and didn't say anything.

Wang Qiqi continued to lower his voice and said: "Your expedition to the rivers and lakes this time can be said to be the last chance, as long as you can make friends with the accompanying generals and completely bring some troops under your command, then after you return to the royal capital, you will not only have prestige, but also have a military background, then you can be regarded as having a real background force." ”

Wang Qiqi said very seriously, but he just looked sideways, but found that the merry prince looked like he had never listened to her, his eyes were quiet, his expression was calm, as if he was indifferent to the impending danger.

His eyes reflected in the street.

Rain.

Reflected in the sky.

And the beings under the sky who hurriedly sheltered from the rain.

Wang Qiqi frowned: "Xia Ji, I know you don't like these things, but we are not children anymore, this world is not what you want, you can do what you like, and if you don't like it, you will completely ignore it!"

Do you know how dangerous the battle for the heir can be?

You only know that when you sit on the painting boat, it seems that when the sky falls, there will always be a queen to support you.

But have you ever cared about the turmoil in the royal capital these days?

Have you ever seen the turbulent tide in this battle for succession?

These three princes have taken off their original disguises, and they have begun to turn over the clouds and rain, and their fangs are all showing, he wants to use you to open the knife, and he wants to borrow you to break the game, so now you have to listen to me, I..."

Xia Ji suddenly asked, "When I was captured by the Demon Sect, did you worry about me?"

Wang Qiqi nodded: "Yes, I have spent a lot of time and money to inquire about your whereabouts in all parties, and as soon as there is news, I will go and tell the uncle of the White Tiger Torture Hall."

If you live, I will be good to you and stand by you.

But if you die, I'll forget about you, and I'll look for new allies for my family. ”

This snow-clothed lily of the valley was very calm in her eyes, "Xia Ji, many things in this world will change."

The situation is a little different now than it was when you first became the Easy King.

You're not at the center of power, so you don't feel the unusual.

...

I don't have childlike feelings for you, it's not that you love me and I love you, but that you need to spend a lifetime together and plan the relationship of interests.

I hope you can change too, and..."

The carriage stopped suddenly.

Xia Ji stood up, "It's here." ”

Wang Qiqi's expression was calm.

Xia Ji asked, "Come up and sit?"

Wang Qiqi: "Did you listen to what I just said?"

Xia Ji: "Listen. ”

Wang Qiqi breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Today I watched the performance of the third prince, as well as the attitude of my grandfather, and maybe there are many things I don't know, I sent you out, maybe they already think it is not good, so I will go back first." ”

Xia Ji lifted the curtain and was about to leave.

Wang Qiqi looked at the young man's back, and for some reason, he suddenly shouted: "Xia Ji." ”

The boy tilted his head, "What's wrong?"

Wang Qiqi: "It's nothing. ”

The curtain was lowered like this, cutting off the sight of the two, and the little guy driving the car raised his horsewhip and watched the king of Xiaoyao hold an umbrella and go away, and at the end of the wind and rain was the shore of Changhong Lake, and the lonely boat rippling on the water waves on the shore.

No matter how luxurious, no matter how luxurious, it is still a lonely boat after all.

...

The day before the expedition.

White Peach Blossom has prepared her personal uniform.

This powerhouse, who has truly stabilized in the realm of legends, is happily preparing to set out.

What is Home?

The Lord is in the body, and it is home.

It's just that she was still packing her luggage for a long trip when she heard a secret report from the Red Mansion.

This terrifying powerhouse in the underground assassin world that supports the two cornerstones looked at the message and showed a thoughtful look.

...

Night.

The rain was pouring down, and it was dusk again.

The fifth prince, Ji Changle, closed his eyes, and he was covered with a black silk cloth in front of his eyes.

This is the rule of entry into the Red Mansion.

The Red Mansion used to be a dragon back then, so the Zhou Dynasty acquiesced that this force existed in the royal capital, and in addition, it didn't want to fight with these completely different levels of the assassin world.

Ji Changle's heartbeat was a little fast.

The rule that the Red Chamber does not accept the prince was actually broken for him today.

Soon...

He was stripped of the black silk cloth, put on a white ghost mask, and stood on the red-lit street.

The red and glamorous archway is engraved with the word "Red Mansion", and the surrounding area is a blood-red lantern.

There are people wearing ghost faces, as if this place is forever separated from the world.

In the distance, there is a five-story stone pillar tower with a bounty.

"Isn't this place no longer in the world?"

Ji Changle muttered, he was walking on the street a little dazed, and suddenly a red ghost came over.

Ji Changle knew that the red ghost face was already the highest-level assassin of the Red Mansion, so he hurriedly arched his hands and was about to salute.

But as soon as he bent down slightly, he was lifted up by a force.

A hoarse voice came into his ears:

"Does the prince also worship people at will?"

Ji Changle was speechless.

He was a cowardly prince, and cowardice was worse than stupidity.

The great family will want to control a prince like Ji Wuzheng, but they won't want to control him, because he can't support the wall and can't hold the scene.

He also has a family background, but in this battle for succession, he is worthless.

Ji Changle thought for a while and said, "A gentleman salutes, saluting is not worshipping." ”

The Red Ghost Assassin scoffed:

"Come with me, my lord wants to see you. ”

My lord?

Ji Changle was stunned.

The assassin at the level of the red ghost is already on the top floor of this red mansion.

Who is the adult in his mouth??

In an instant, his brain made up the image of an ultra-terrifying underground king.

So, hurriedly bowed his head and followed closely.

Bypass the five-story stone tower.

He walked for a long time, until an iron gate at the end of the street opened, and he saw the scene behind the door, and he couldn't help but open his mouth wide in shock.

It is an extremely deep V-shaped underground gully, with jagged inwards on both sides of the ravine, and many evenly distributed pits in the sawtooth, each of which emits a red light.

Ji Changle trembled a little, and he followed the red ghost mask assassin slowly into this V-shaped ravine.

Then he came to a deep cavern.

The red-masked assassin stepped out of the way.

Ji Changle took a few steps inside with some shrunkness, and inside the cave was a screen, embroidered with the Yellow Spring, and the Nai He Bridge.

In this situation, the prince didn't dare to speak, but he thought that if he failed to win the heir, the entire family would be overthrown, and the reason why he was able to come here was also a way that the family spent a lot of effort to think of.

Ji Changle took a deep breath and plucked up the courage to say, "Ji Changle, the prince of the Great Zhou... Ask to see the seniors. ”

A faint woman's voice came from behind the Huangquan screen: "What do you ask me?"

"Junior... The younger generation doesn't want to die in the battle for the heir. ”

"Then you can go away, or you can just give in. ”

"It's useless... The royal brother will not let go of those of us who have competed with him, I know him too well, he will kill us.

There was an eldest brother before, and his means were not as powerful as the eldest brother, so he kept hiding in order to survive after the eldest brother ascended the throne, but now the eldest brother is dead..."

"Then you can ordainate or go to the Taoist temple. ”

"Zen Buddhism will not take me in, and the small Taoist temple will not dare to take me in, and as for those Great Dao Sects, they will not take me in, because I don't have immortal roots. ”

"Then why are you looking for me?

Ji Changle gritted his teeth and knelt down suddenly: "No! I know that the Red Chamber will not shoot directly! So... I came here just to ask the landlord of the Red Mansion to accept me as a disciple. ”

"Disciple, do you know martial arts?"

"I don't know martial arts, but my identity is here, as long as you can protect me and protect my family, I am willing to do everything!"

"Everything?"

Ji Changle hesitated and said firmly: "Yes!"

"Are you really sincere?"

"Yes!"

"Come here, kid. Come to the screen. ”

Ji Changle was a little scared, and a little frightened and slowly approached.

Stay in front of the screen.

Suddenly, two fingers like green onions and white jade stretched out and tightened their grip on Ji Changle's forehead.

Wisps of thick black aura poured out from his fingertips like spider webs.

However, a strange dragon groan suddenly came out from Ji Changle's body, and the black qi was frightened.

The woman's voice said calmly: "Surrender to me from the heart!"

"Yes. ”

Ji Changle hurriedly and completely reined in his mind, and gradually, the strange dragon groan slowly lightened and faded until it was silent.

And the black qi in the woman's fingers was no longer hindered, and entered Ji Changle's body, building a layered texture under his skin.

It's like a spider's web completely enveloping its prey.

Until the package was already tight.

It was only then that finger snapped back.

At the same time, the cobwebs were completely tightened.

Ji Changle's body trembled, and a strange feeling arose in his heart, the woman across the Huangquan screen seemed to have become his master, so that he couldn't resist at all.

"Go to the side of the Son of Heaven and play chess with him. At midnight, be sure to write down the daily behavior of the Son of Heaven and the movements of the three princes on a piece of paper, and I will come to see it. ”

The woman stepped out from behind the screen, no longer covered.

Ji Changle was stunned, he rubbed his eyes, this... How can there be such a beautiful girl in the world?

This girl is the mysterious owner of this Red Mansion?

And now, has she become her own master?

Ji Changle said respectfully: "Yes... Host... Lord, you... Are you... It hurts, it hurts!!"

The cowardly Fifth Prince suddenly hugged his head and wailed.

"From now on, if you have a thought that is unfavorable to me, or a bad idea, I will know, and you will be punished. ”

The fifth prince trembled: "Know... Got it. ”

"Red ghost, take him back, you need to pay attention to cooperate with him in the future. ”

Outside the door, the assassin on the top floor of the Red Mansion said respectfully, "Yes, Lord!"

Wait until the two subordinates who are both controlled by the puppet leave.

The girl's expression only stretched slightly, she walked to the abyss, looked at the red light of the abyss, and muttered: "My lord is estimated to have returned from the palace."

Then I should go back too, or he'll have to talk about me again. ”

Think of the Lord.

White Peach smiled.

Lord, it's her family.

It is a relative who is worthy of her to give up everything and subvert everything.
