29. Visiting friends
Honglian also took off the hat and looked at Ling Junwu in surprise, if she was not mistaken, the owner of this mansion is the prince, and it is the fourth prince who was under house arrest by the new emperor, what is the identity of the prince, why did he meet the four princes, and what is the relationship with the four princes? Doubts filled his mind, and he was confused.
Ling Junwu went up the steps, walked to the door, put one hand on the iron lock, and pulled back, the iron lock and the chain on the lock were torn off, and then it seemed that with a slight push, the heavy door was pushed open, and the seal on the door was broken into four pieces, one of which was blown off by the wind and jumped away.
"Ahh Son! Honglian didn't expect Ling Junwu to make such a move, she suddenly shouted in shock, covered her mouth with her hands, and looked around vigilantly, fortunately there were no pedestrians passing by, otherwise, if she was seen and reported to the Holy Lord, it would be a great crime of exterminating the clan in defiance of the Holy Might.
Ling Junwu stepped into this forbidden mansion, the person who was watching in the shadows quietly left to report to his master, Honglian was unaware of this, Ling Junwu did not squint, he ignored the person in the dark, walked through the front yard, passed through the side hall, and finally stepped into a round stone gate, entering a quiet and elegant courtyard.
Honglian was panicked in her heart, but she looked at the people in the courtyard curiously, and saw that the person was wearing a plain white robe, the style was very simple, but the material was indeed extremely expensive, and it was a cloud silk that only people from the royal family could wear. The long jet-black hair was not tied up with a crown, only tied with a white embroidered silver hairband, which looked very leisurely, this person must be the rumored Four Princes! However, now it seems that there is no hint of wolf bรจi under house arrest.
The fourth prince was bored with the flower branches with his hands, heard the movement behind him, turned around with a flat face, and was surprised when he saw the person, originally he thought that it would be the person sent by his second brother to kill the mouth, but he didn't expect that there would be outsiders in and out of the place that has become a forbidden place.
"Who are you?" The fourth prince looked at Ling Junwu suspiciously, and then suddenly realized, "It turned out to be Brother Ling, Brother Ling is really very human, after more than ten years, now it is not much different from when we first met!" As he spoke, he looked at the red lotus behind him, and said with a slight smile, "Isn't this woman Brother Ling's confidante?" โ
Ling Junwu didn't pay attention to the ridicule of the four princes, and said as he walked: "Xuan Yu has indeed undergone earth-shaking changes!" โ
The fourth prince smiled bitterly: "I didn't expect Brother Ling to remember this name, let you see the joke, now I am a prisoner of the order, and this is not a place to stay for a long time, Brother Ling better leave quickly!" So as not to get into trouble, after all, my second emperor brother is now the emperor. โ
Ling Junwu looked the four princes up and down: "I'm very strange, why didn't he kill you?" With you as a hidden danger, can your brother who has just sat on the throne be at ease? โ
"Brother Ling really thinks highly of me, now that I have no power and no power, and the second emperor brother has also sat firmly in the country, what ability can I shake him. As for why he hasn't killed me yet, it's just a matter of time, and dying in the scourge of illness has nothing to do with the royal brother, and he can earn a good reputation as a friendly brother and a big heart, so why not do it? โ
Ling Junwu took the right hand of the fourth prince, put his fingers on the wrist with a little pale skin, raised his eyes and said, "Chronic and highly toxic, but it is much less toxic than when I first saw you." โ
The fourth prince withdrew his wrist and sighed lightly: "This is 'lingering', affectionate Feifei, lingering to the bones, the poisoned person is like a person who has fallen into a desperate situation of love, love is not possible, lovesickness has nowhere to go, the tortured person is getting weaker and weaker, corroding the bones and blood of the body, and when it seems to be terminally ill, it is the time when the toxicity is exerted to the extreme, and it is also the period of death." โ
"What about the medicine I gave you?"
The fourth prince was stunned, and after a moment of silence, he said: "If it weren't for the elixir given by Brother Ling, I'm afraid that I would have died in Huangquan a long time ago, and there is only one elixir left, but now it is indeed in the hands of my second emperor brother." โ
Ling Junwu didn't ask why the elixir fell into the hands of the second prince, but just took out a small bottle and handed it to the fourth prince.
"Thank you Brother Ling, it's just that no amount of elixir can only save me for a while, Brother Huang, he wants me to die, so don't waste Brother Ling's elixir."
"If you live in this world for a long time, there will be an unexpected turnaround, are you such a cowardly person who gives up so easily? And what about the losers? The winner can only write his own victory, and he can't change the loser's mind, so why should Xuan Yu give up? It's better to give it a go! Ling Junwu's voice was full of temptation, and he didn't know whether he was convincing the four princes or convincing himself.
The fourth prince looked at the small bottle in Ling Junwu's hand and was stunned, his body seemed to be out of control, and he took over the living thing.
The Praetorian Guards surrounded the palace, and a large number of armored guards poured into the palace, and the emperor stood in the crowd, his eyes fell on his younger brother, and waved his hand to make way for the soldiers.
"Your Majesty, be careful!" The commander of the guards on the side gave a warning.
"It's okay!" The Emperor walked up to the Four Emperors, glanced at Ling Junwu and said, "Is this person a friend of the Fourth Emperor's brother?" โ
The fourth prince clenched the small bottle in his hand and looked at the emperor: "The Holy Lord came to my small palace in person, I don't know what happened?" He casually swept away a leaf stuck to his body with his sleeve, and said softly, "Are you still afraid that I, a half-crippled person, will pose any threat to you?" โ
The emperor frowned, turned his head to look at Ling Jun Wudao, and said, "It seems that this friend of yours has a lot of weight in the hearts of my fourth emperor brother!" โ
Ling Junwu chuckled and said, "Naturally, my relationship with Xuan Yu is not ordinary. โ
"He actually told you this name......" The emperor seemed to be talking to himself, glanced at Ling Junwu deeply, turned to the group of soldiers and said, "Go back to the palace!" Then he said without looking back, "Fourth Emperor Brother, it will be my brother's birthday in a few days, I hope that the fourth brother can enter the palace and get together with my brother." โ
"Don't dare to disobey the order of the saint." The fourth prince looked at the Praetorian Guards who came here in a mighty way and left like a tidal tide, and his heart was already like ashes, and he ignited a spark.
Honglian looked at Ling Junwu silently, she didn't expect that she was a little dusty woman, and she was lucky enough to see the true face of the Son of Heaven today, but today's events always felt that there was a strange feeling that could not be explained, which was really strange.
The fourth prince took the small bottle into his arms and hesitated for a long time before he spoke: "Brother Ling, would you like to stay and help me?" โ
"I don't intend to stay here for long."
"It's me who is reluctant, and besides, it's better to leave early in such a place of right and wrong." The fourth prince smiled with relief, "I wonder when Brother Ling is going to leave?" โ
Ling Junwu thought for a moment: "Tomorrow!" Today, I will accompany Xuan Yu to drink. โ
"So good! Very good! The four princes clapped their palms and laughed.
The two didn't sleep all night, drinking and chatting, the red lotus was on the side or poured wine for it, or danced to cheer up, until the sky was white, the four princes lay on the desk, and fell asleep in a daze, Ling Junwu drank the last glass of wine, woke up the red lotus who fell aside, and quietly left.
A man dressed in dark clothes walked up to the pavilion, looked at the sleeping person, sat down opposite, heard his own mouth shouting "Brother Ling" indistinctly, stretched out his hand to brush away the other party's messy black hair, looked at the quiet and beautiful face, and sighed: "Fourth brother!" โ
Ling Junwu left the imperial city without looking back, and the red lotus followed behind, floating under his feet, staggering all the way, and couldn't help but complain in his heart: What a master who doesn't know how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade, it's a hard life!
"Childe!" Red Lotus trotted behind Ling Junwu and asked curiously, "How did the prince and the fourth prince meet?" โ
"I am to him, he is to me, there is a life-saving kindness between us!" Ling Junwu couldn't help but think of when he first arrived in the human realm and was seriously injured.
Honglian was surprised, not because of the relationship between the two, but because Childe was willing to talk to her, it was really strange, but Childe almost didn't say a word to her on the way here. At this moment, it was Honglian's turn to be silent.
Honglian didn't know how far she had come, she only felt that she had finished the journey of this life, and her legs were weak, but she wouldn't say anything like rest anymore, because for Ling Junwu, these were all nonsense, and she wouldn't pay attention to her at all.
The crisp sound of weapons intersecting came from the small forest ahead, and the sound was continuous, and it seemed that the battle was fierce.
Ling Junwu deviated from the main road and walked towards the small forest, only to see that the two of them had exquisite swordsmanship and were in the middle of a battle.
These two people are the people on the rivers and lakes who call the "ghost son" with a sword, Qi Qunke, the young master of the Songshan Divine Sword Sect, and the mysterious identity of the "Feiyun Sword" Zhuo Zhuo.
Qi Qunke's sword was resolute, and his sword was ruthless, as if he would not give up if he did not kill his opponent under the sword, and the sword shadow was heavy, and the cold light was shining.
Zhuo Bugui seemed to be scrupling about something, and he showed mercy under the sword in such a life-threatening situation, and his hands and feet could not be fully deployed, and the sword momentum was also reduced by more than half, so that his original swordsmanship was higher than that of Qi Qunke was suppressed at this moment.
Perhaps the two of them were so engrossed in each other that they couldn't notice Ling Junwu and Honglian who were standing not far away.
With a sneer and ridicule on his face, Qi Qunke's sword was crisp and neat, and a corner of the opponent's clothes was cut off by it, the blade of the sword cut through the skin, and a trace of bloody qi spread in the air.
After Zhuo Bugui retreated, he avoided the opponent's attack, and the momentum on his body changed suddenly, and the whole person was like a sharp sword that had just been unsheathed, and the sword in his hand actually echoed his own momentum, and he actually reached the realm of "concentrating".
"Concentrating" can be said to be the highest state of swordsmanship, one's own "essence" and "spirit" into substance, holding the sword in his hand, at this time, whether it is his senses or reaction, are not the same as the usual state.
Qi Qunke laughed: "Good! Good! Good! Zhuo Bugui, no wonder you came to provoke my Divine Sword Gate, it turned out that the swordsmanship has reached its peak, it's really good! It's just, that's all, do you think that there is no one in my Divine Sword Sect, and you can insult me at will? โ
Zhuo Bugui looked at Qi Qunke fixedly, and said indifferently: "You know, the purpose of my coming here is only for you." โ
