Chapter 160: Looking for Zhao Yan
Yi Qing returned to Fanxin Garden, and Yan Qing also continued to cultivate in Hongmen, but at this moment, Zhang Ling came to a strange place.
Nanshu, Wangcheng.
"Who are you?" the guard in front of the Imperial City asked Zhang Ling.
"Don't you know me?" Zhang Ling leaned his face closer to let the guards see more clearly.
"He seems to be the sixth prince of my dynasty, forgive me for having no eyes under him, hurry up and kneel down, you guys!" A person who looked like a soldier commander suddenly recognized Zhang Ling, and hurriedly knelt down and exclaimed.
"I will go into the city to see my father, and you will bring him quickly. Zhang Ling said to them coldly, like the son of an emperor.
"You kid pretend to be pretty similar. Lingtong saw that Zhang Ling was quite skillful in pretending, so he teased in his dantian.
"Senior, it's inconvenient for me to talk now, so don't tease me. Zhang Ling followed behind the guards, entered the royal city all the way unhindered, lowered his head and whispered to the spirit child.
In fact, with Zhang Ling's ability, he can easily enter the royal city, but the royal city is too big after all, and Zhang Ling doesn't know where the king of Shu lives, so he can only let the guards lead the way, although the guards also think it is very strange, but he is a prince after all, and no one dares to say anything.
After passing through many palaces in front, Zhang Ling was dizzy, and finally arrived at the sleeping palace of the King of Shu.
This palace is not the largest one in the royal city, it seems that the king of Shu is still very smart, for fear that someone will assassinate him, he specially found a low-key palace as his bedroom.
After dismissing the guards in front of the palace, Zhang Ling pushed open the door of the palace alone and strode in.
"Who?" As soon as Zhang Ling entered the palace, the vigilant King Shu noticed the abnormal movement and hurriedly exclaimed.
"You come and see what I look like, don't you know?" Zhang Ling slowly walked to the bed of the King of Shu, and said coldly to the King of Shu who was startled from the bed.
The King of Shu watched from afar, and under the reflection of the light, he felt that the outline on Zhang Ling's face was very familiar, so he stepped out of bed curiously.
"You, who are?"
The King of Shu was dressed in a gorgeous costume, although he was slightly fat, he was also tall and straight, but at this time he was frightened by Zhang Ling's appearance.
"No, you can't be Yan'er, your voice is different from him, saying, who are you, what do you want to do when you come to the palace?"
At this moment, the king of Shu was shocked and frightened, and suddenly saw a person who looked exactly like his son, but the voice was very unfamiliar, could this not be scary? Although he was the king of Shu, he was also a mortal, and of course he was very frightened when he encountered this situation.
"Someone, there are assassins, escort!" the King of Shu shouted outside in horror, but Zhang Ling was getting closer and closer to him.
"You don't have to shout, they have already been taken away by me, besides, even if the guards of the whole palace come over, they will not be my opponents, you better don't waste your efforts, can you listen to me a few words first?" Zhang Ling waved his hand helplessly at this time.
"Then who are you? Why do you look exactly like my son? Also, it is rumored throughout Kyushu that the sixth prince of our Shu Dynasty became the leader of the big test of Wufu Cliff, but my son disappeared a few months ago, and with his cultivation, how can he become the leader?"
"Could it be... Could it be that the leader in their mouths is you?" The King of Shu carefully observed Zhang Ling and found that although his appearance was extremely similar to Zhao Yan, the temperament of the whole person was completely different, and there was a sense of otherworldliness, so he couldn't help but suspect that the leader who was rumored throughout Kyushu was him?
"Yes, I am the so-called leader, but those are all false names, even if your son really becomes the leader of the big test of Wufu Cliff, it will not change the relatively weak status quo of your Shu Dynasty. I now regret that I agreed to swap identities with your son. ”
"Exchange identities, what about you, what about my child, where did he go?" The King of Shu was shocked by Zhang Ling's words, and a series of questions ran through his mind.
Zhang Ling looked at the stunned King of Shu and said with a light smile, "Yes, these are all requested by your good son, of course I didn't think about it so much, so I agreed, but now that I think about it, I did bad things with good intentions." As for your son's whereabouts, you don't have to worry about this, he should be with the girl he loves at this time. ”
"Yanyun?could it be that it was Zhao Yan who robbed Yanyun with a red-clothed assassin last time?" the King of Shu suddenly said as he recalled what happened a few months ago.
"You are quite smart, yes, those are what Zhao Yan did, in your eyes, you may hope that he will work hard to cultivate, improve his cultivation, and keep the country you handed over to him in the future, but he only has a little love in his heart, and he didn't have the ability to do this at that time. ”
"So Zhao Yan took a fancy to you at that time, changed your appearance, and asked you, who is deeply cultivated, to complete for him what he can't accomplish at all?"
Zhang Ling turned to face the King of Shu and snapped his fingers, "Yes, but things are changing, I must now find the real Zhao Yan and let him protect his own dynasty." ”
"What variables?" King Shu suddenly had a bad premonition.
"I always thought that I could hide this matter seamlessly, but I didn't expect that there were many masters in the Wufu Cliff, and I didn't expect that I would be regarded as a thorn in the flesh, so those people's hatred for me has now been transferred to your Shu Dynasty. ”
Zhang Ling walked towards the King of Shu step by step, his eyes looked directly into his eyes, he wanted to see the reaction of this King of Shu.
"In other words, you have set up enemies in the Wufu Cliff, and those enemies think that you are the sixth prince of the Shu Dynasty, so they transfer their hatred to our Shu Dynasty?"
"That's right, you're really smart, no wonder you were able to give birth to six princes. ”
"However, now that the disaster is coming, I don't know what your plans are for the King of Shu? After all, I brought the disaster upon me, don't you plan to dispose of me? Or make my false identity public?" Zhang Ling looked at the King of Shu again and asked tentatively.
After listening to Zhang Ling's words, the King of Shu paused, and then said calmly: "After all, this incident was caused by my son, if your identity is made public, then Wu Yu Ya will definitely not spare you, I Zhao Tian can't do this kind of small behavior." ”
"Now I only hope that Your Excellency can find Zhao Yan for me, no matter how powerful the opponent is, he is the sixth prince of the Shu Dynasty after all, even if it is a dead dynasty and a dead country, he should stay in the Shu Dynasty at the last moment. ”
The King of Shu politely bowed his hand to Zhang Ling at this moment, instead of arresting Zhang Ling and asking him for guilt.
This made Zhang Ling very surprised, and he couldn't help but laugh lightly, "The King of Shu really has the bearing of an emperor, Zhang Ling admires it." ”
"Your name is Zhang Ling, the one who destroyed the Duan Dynasty Pure Yang Sect with his own strength before?" As soon as he heard Zhang Ling's name, the King of Shu was immediately shocked.
"I didn't expect this little thing to spread so far? Yes, it was indeed me. Zhang Ling didn't expect that a trivial matter that he had almost forgotten would be passed to the Shu Dynasty, and he couldn't help but smile a little embarrassedly.
"Your Excellency is as jealous as hatred, and you must be a righteous person, so I implore Your Excellency to help me find Zhao Yan so that he can come back and spend time with the Shu Dynasty. The King of Shu knelt in front of Zhang Ling and startled Zhang Ling.
"You are an emperor, it is better not to kneel easily, that is the dignity of your emperor. I promise to help you find him, just tell me some details about Zhao Yan and Miss Yanyun. ”
Zhang Ling helped up the King of Shu, who was about to kneel, signaled that he didn't have to be so condescending, and asked him some details about how Zhao Yan and Yanyun got along.
"Okay, then I'll tell you everything I know, I hope it can be of help to you. The Shu Dynasty led Zhang Ling aside and sat down, and told him everything about Zhao Yan and Yanyun in great detail, and it was not until dawn the next day that Zhang Ling left the palace of the King of Shu.
Leaving the palace, Zhang Ling headed towards the southern edge of the imperial sword, and after the dictation of the king of Shu, Zhao Yan and Yanyun were childhood sweethearts, and they met in the small city in the south when they were young.
At that time, the king of Shu was on patrol, and the six princes were traveling with him, and he accidentally met a little girl who was selling herself on the street to bury her father, Zhao Yan saw that the little girl was very pitiful, so he asked his father to take the little girl back to the palace, and asked the little girl's father to bury it well.
The little girl who sold herself to bury her father is Yanyun.
Therefore, Yanyun has formed a deep friendship with Zhao Yan since he was a child, and as he grows older, he naturally has a secret promise to Zhao Yanfang.
But this matter is inappropriate in the eyes of many people, after all, Yanyun was born, so he naturally couldn't escape the verbal criticism of those princes and nobles, let alone agree to their marriage, and as the emperor of the Shu Dynasty, Zhao Yan's father, Zhao Tian, also took into account the plans of the Shu Dynasty and ruthlessly broke them up.
After all, at that time, the entire Shu Dynasty was withered, even in Shumen, which was quite famous in the Shu Dynasty, there had never been a decent disciple in the past hundred years, and they were all supported by those elders, and in the royal court, there was no decent prince, except for the sixth prince Zhao Yan, who had some cultivation qualifications, the rest of the people were not suitable for cultivation at all.
Therefore, the King of Shu can only bet all his hopes on Zhao Yan alone, but the Kyushu test is approaching, and Zhao Yan, who has been cultivating for more than ten years, is still only a spiritual realm, which suddenly broke the vision of Zhao Tian, the king of Shu.
In addition, Zhao Yan was still in love with Yanyun at this critical moment, so the King of Shu forcibly imprisoned Yanyun to threaten Zhao Yan to seize the time to cultivate so that he could participate in the Kyushu selection of Wuyu Cliff.
After that, it wasn't until Zhao Yan met Zhang Ling that he was freed from this sea of suffering.
But now Zhang Ling realizes that he has done something wrong.
There are two mistakes for him, first, he shouldn't easily make enemies with Yun Lian and Mu Chen, causing them to attach all their resentment to Zhao Yan, and when Mu Chen's cultivation is restored, he will definitely make a comeback, but now in the world, he can unscrupulously find trouble in the Shu Dynasty. This is tantamount to Zhang Ling's behavior bringing disaster to their Shu Dynasty.
Second, he shouldn't have easily fulfilled his relationship with Yanyun in the first place, because as a man, a prince, and a prince with cultivation, it is by no means a commendable thing to elope with a beloved in disregard of the righteousness of his family and country.
Therefore, what Zhang Ling has to do now is to find Zhao Yan in the shortest possible time, and let him worship in Shumen, and then concentrate on cultivation, at least in three years to reach the God Transformation Realm, so that he can protect himself before the disaster comes.
As soon as he thought of this, Zhang Ling's flying speed increased again, shuttling like a wind over the small city in the south of the Shu Dynasty, searching hard for Zhao Yan's traces.
After all, for Zhang Ling, Zhao Yan's face is still very recognizable, because that is his previous appearance.
After searching for more than half a day, Zhang Ling finally found clues of Zhao Yan in a mountain village outside a small city in the south.
It was dusk, and a girl was walking among the flowers, surrounded by some beautiful butterflies, and she was smiling and collecting honey left by bees.
Next to one or two thatched huts, there is a separate study, at this time there is a man painting at the table, while painting, he happily looks at the honey picking next to him.
And against the backdrop of the twilight, Zhang Ling could see the painting on the table and the man's face very clearly. The painting on the table is the scene of the girl collecting honey, and the man's face is exactly what Zhang Ling looked like before.
After confirming, Zhang Ling slowly landed on the ground and slowly walked to the hut.
He didn't walk in front of Zhao Yan for the first time, but walked straight to the girl, because his face at this time was exactly what Zhao Yan had before, he wanted to see this person's reaction, if she reacted violently, it meant that he didn't find the wrong person.
"Yanyun ......" Zhang Ling deliberately shouted the name of Yanyun towards the slender back.
"Are you?Zhao Yan?No, you can't be Zhao Yan?Who are you?" As soon as the girl turned around, her face was full of surprise, she couldn't believe her eyes, but after thinking about it, she couldn't help but be afraid.
"Looks like I'm not looking for the wrong person, you are indeed a smoke cloud. Seeing this girl like this, Zhang Ling was almost sure that he was not looking for the wrong person.
And the real Zhao Yan heard Yanyun's exclamation, so he flew quickly, pulled out the matching sword in his hand and stabbed Zhang Ling in the back.
And Zhang Ling only moved his body slightly, Zhao Yan stabbed his sword off, and his sword was still caught in Zhang Ling's fingers, and he couldn't pull it out no matter how hard he tried.
Just when Zhao Yan was panicking, Zhang Ling finally turned around to face Zhao Yan and said to him with a smile: "Sixth prince, I haven't seen you for a long time, don't come unharmed?"
"Are you? Are you Engong Zhang Shaoxia?" Zhao Yan couldn't react for a while, and at first he thought that his father had sent someone to arrest him and Yanyun, so he was very nervous, but at this moment, he saw Zhang Ling, the Engong, which really surprised him.
"Yes, it's me, I didn't expect you and Yanyun to live a fairy life in this paradise, but let me find it easily!" Zhang Ling turned to look at Yanyun who was still in a dazed state on the side, and said with a smile.
