"You said that now the entire Shaoyang Kingdom has been controlled by a demon Dao called Linghu Daoren? Even Emperor Mingzu was under house arrest? After listening to Zhuang Huiniang's words, Lao Tan came to his senses from shock for a long time.

"About ten years ago, His Majesty invited the demon Dao to ask for immortality and let him serve as a national teacher, and since then he has been addicted to alchemy, forgetting to sleep and eating, and gradually abandoning the government and government, saying that he is under house arrest is actually completely right, because Your Majesty has no intention of leaving the palace at all, and he will not pay attention to the advice of the ministers of the government and the opposition." Zhuang Huiniang said quietly.

"Then why were you and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince hunted down by the national teacher?" Old Tan had now learned that the black-clothed man he had met in the Red Fire Forest last time was sent by the Linghu Dao people.

"Your Majesty is addicted to alchemy, and his health is getting worse and worse, and the imperial doctor concluded that His Majesty will not live this year, so he made an edict to let the prince succeed to the throne, but unfortunately, I don't know how to leak the news, which attracted the jealousy of other princes, and since then it has caused the disaster of killing. Especially the henchmen led by the eldest prince, the people behind them are the national teacher Linghu Daoren. ”

"You guys were hunted down because you didn't want to be in the same stream as the Linghu Dao people?" Lao Tan then asked.

"Yes." Zhuang Huiniang nodded, and said softly: "Linghu Dao people have been in charge of the court for many years, and in order to refine the pill, he often recruits boys and girls from all over the country to enter the palace in the name of His Majesty. ”

"Using boys and girls to alchemy? This is the art of evil cultivation...... "Lao Tan secretly took a breath, he has been in this world for more than half a year, and Lao Tan has long heard a little about evil cultivation.

The so-called evil cultivators are monks who do not follow the usual path, they are bloodthirsty, and often plunder people's essence and blood in various ways to achieve the goal of quickly improving their cultivation.

If the news in Zhuang Huiniang's mouth is not wrong, then it is very likely that this Linghu Daozi is an evil cultivator, and it is not an ordinary evil cultivator.

"Using boys and girls to alchemy, such a yin method is simply against the way of heaven, the concubine doesn't want Fan Er to become a puppet of the demon road in the future, so she escaped from the palace for days, but I didn't expect the demon road to be afraid that our mother and son would threaten him one day, so he sent someone to chase and kill." Zhuang Huiniang said with a wry smile.

"The people who want to hunt down you and the crown prince are not necessarily demon dao, maybe other princes who have reached an agreement with demon dao will kill you and the prince in order to sit on the throne of the emperor." Lao Tan said lightly.

"But the concubine doesn't want to get involved in this dispute at all, the concubine just wants to leave this place of right and wrong with Fan'er, why don't they let go of our mother and son?" Zhuang Huiniang said a little excitedly.

"How can you tell right and wrong in this world, Niangniang and the prince have no intention of competing for the throne, but the people who harm you don't think so, especially those princes, they think that as long as the prince is alive for a day, it will be a bomb for them, only by killing the prince and seeing the prince's corpse can they feel at ease." Lao Tan said.

Hearing Lao Tan's words, Zhuang Huiniang was a little silent, how could she not know such a simple truth?

"Niangniang, there is a sentence in the next one that I don't know whether to say or not." Lao Tan stared at Zhuang Huiniang's side face, and after a long time, he suddenly took the initiative to come up with an idea.

"Little brother, please speak." Perhaps because Lao Tan saved her relationship, Zhuang Huiniang's vigilance against Lao Tan had already been lowered, and her head was in chaos at this time, so she subconsciously responded.

"Have you ever thought about going back to the palace to compete for the throne?" Lao Tan asked with a smile.

"Huh?" Zhuang Huiniang was a little confused by Lao Tan's sudden question, and it took a long time to react and say: "Little brother is joking, how can our mother, son, orphan and widow compete for the throne?" ”

"There is nothing difficult in the world, only afraid of people with hearts, why should the mother be arrogant."

"But ......"

"If Niangniang is willing, I am willing to work hard to help Niangniang and the prince return to the palace."

"Little brother, would you like to help us?"

Zhuang Huiniang looked at Lao Tan with some surprise, although Lao Tan had saved her, but in the final analysis, they met in the water, and Lao Tan would actually get involved in this palace struggle for them.

As we all know, the final result of similar struggles in the past dynasties is a river of blood and a mountain of corpses, and ordinary people can't escape, so how can they take the initiative to join?

"Niangniang, please rest assured, I have some skills in the next question, plus in addition to the next, there are three brothers with the same high skills, they are added to the next, although they are not as good as thousands of troops, but it is enough to keep Niangniang and the prince safe." The three brothers with high skills in Lao Tan's mouth are naturally the three flower farmers.

Zhuang Huiniang was really moved for a moment, and she also understood that instead of running away from the pursuit all day long, it was better to go back to the palace to fight for the throne for the lord, if the prince really ascended the throne, the demon Dao and those princes naturally did not dare to commit it again.

It's just that there is no free lunch in the world, and Zhuang Huiniang doesn't believe that Lao Tan will help her for no reason.

"It seems that Niangniang still has something to worry about." Of course, Lao Tan could see what Zhuang Huiniang was afraid of, so he smiled and said: "Niangniang is right, there is a purpose for helping Niangniang and the prince in the future." ”

"Little brother, please say, if it is within the ability of the concubine body, the concubine body will definitely satisfy the little brother." Zhuang Huiniang took a deep breath and asked.

"It's very simple, I want the crown prince to ascend the throne as the emperor one day, and help him do something." Lao Tan finally said the purpose, but the thing in his mouth did not go into detail.

"What the hell is going on?" Zhuang Huiniang asked.

"What is the specific matter, I will sell a pass here, and when it is completed, I will tell the mother in the next." Lao Tan said.

"Okay, as long as it's not something that violates morality and hurts nature, the concubine is willing to agree for Fan'er." Zhuang Huiniang knew that she had no choice, so she thought about it.

"Please rest assured, this matter is easy for the crown prince who will inherit the throne in the future, and it is not a hurtful thing, which can be guaranteed below." Lao Tan raised three fingers and swore an oath.

When they left the thatched hut where Zhuang Huiniang and the crown prince Jiang Fan were hiding, the sun had already sunset, and before leaving, Lao Tan instructed them not to move around at will during this time, and when he was outside, everything would naturally come back to pick them up.

Back in the Yue Wolf Gang, Lao Tan called the flower farmer and the three of them.

"Where have you been all day today? Why don't we see you after we finish the whole bucket? The flower farmer asked.

"Don't worry, I'm not wandering around, on the contrary, I've found the woman on Danqing." Old Tan smiled.

"Really?" Hearing Lao Tan's words, not to mention the flower farmers, even Yu Sheng and Lin Meier expressed their surprise, they still had the people of the Yue Wolf Gang looking for a day, and almost the entire bucket was rummaged but no one was found, and he Lao Tan found it alone?

"Now that the person has found it, let's notify the leader of the Yue Wolf Gang immediately, so that we will make another great contribution." Lin Mei'er said in a weird manner.

She always thought that Lao Tan worked so hard to find people, it was completely to curry favor with Dongfang Lang, the leader of the Yue Wolf Gang, although she knew that everything was to find out the Immortal Ascension Order, but she hated Lao Tan's approach.

"Regarding the matter of finding the woman in Danqingzhong, I want you to keep it a secret for me, and don't tell anyone in the Yue Wolf Gang about this."

However, Lao Tan's next words surprised Lin Meier.

"Why? Didn't you work so hard to find out people to ask for credit from the Yue Wolf Gang? The flower farmer was stunned.

"Originally, yes, but now I have other plans." Old Tan smiled mysteriously, and then repeated what he heard from Zhuang Huiniang today.
