Chapter Seventy-Four: The Hundred Flowers Festival Turmoil (Part II)

In the evening, a heavy rain came, mixed with strong winds.

Destroying, in the Hundred Flowers Palace, every inch of flowers and trees.

Because of this heavy rain, it also broke everything that was prepared for the sacrifice on the altar.

The sacrificial ceremony had to be postponed, and the Hundred Flowers Festival was still held, but it was changed to the main hall of the Hundred Flowers Palace.

This affected the original plan to leave the altar.

And Ji Chen, it has already made sense to Fu Ying, and when he sacrifices at the altar, he will create chaos to steal his father's token, and then release Su Jianxiang from the Hundred Flowers Palace.

They had already discussed and let Huo Qingxin and Su Jianxiang go separately.

One left from the moat, and the other took advantage of the chaos to walk through the palace gates.

The only person Fu Rong wants to see is Huo Qingxin. If there is chaos in the altar, everyone will inevitably focus on Huo Qingxin and will not notice Su Jianxiang.

But everything that was planned was delayed by the current rain.

Standing at the door of the small courtyard, Ji Chen and Wen Xun were a little at a loss.

At this moment, Huo Qingxin had been dressed up, forced to put on the palace master's clothes, and was about to go to the main hall of the Hundred Flowers Palace.

The two men, who had not yet moved, were thinking of countermeasures. Both of them were standing in the corridor of Huo Qingxin's courtyard, and the heavy rain fell on the ground, which had already wet their robes.

They thought about it, and in the face of the intricate terrain in the Hundred Flowers Palace, if they forcibly robbed people, they were afraid that it would cause an uproar.

At that time, it will turn into a war between the two sects.

It was already dark, and Ji Chen stared at the rainy night where he couldn't see clearly, listening to the sound of rain in his ears, and felt very irritable.

After a while, he broke the silence and said with some indignation.

"A small Hundred Flowers Palace, why do we need to waste so much effort and so much thought!"

As he spoke, he glanced at the silent person beside him, staring at the night like a trance.

Then he said, "I miss you as the sect master of the Medicine King Sect, if you join forces with me, even if it is ten Huo Qingxin, you can take people away together!" ”

Ji Chen's only thought of it at the moment was to attack, if the rain didn't stop, Huo Qingxin's succession ceremony would be held in the main hall of the Hundred Flowers Palace.

If they can't go to the altar of sacrifice, their efforts in the past few days will be in vain.

When all the rituals are completed, Huo Qingxin will take the elixir that has become the palace master, then she will never be able to get rid of this identity.

Ji Chen's meaning is already very clear, as long as Wen Xun nods now, everything will fall into place.

With the strength of the Medicine King Sect, coupled with the power of his Poison King Sect, even if the Hundred Flowers Palace is eradicated today, it is not impossible.

But Wen Xun had more considerations, he couldn't be an enemy of Baihua Palace, one of the four major factions, for the sake of a woman.

In this way, it is bound to attract criticism from all over the world.

If he wasn't the head of the Medicine King Sect, just an ordinary man, he wouldn't hesitate to take people away directly.

Instead of being like now, you can only watch, but you are helpless.

Ji Chen saw that he had been silent, and he was a little angry.

"What are you waiting for! You don't really care about that girl! Do you want to watch her ascend to the throne of the Palace Master of the Hundred Flowers Palace? Staying here all your life, lonely and old? ”

The latter sentence stabbed Wen Xun's heart a little, and after a long silence, he finally opened his mouth.

"Baihua Palace, after all, is one of the four major factions, the Medicine King Sect, and must not be an enemy of it. I can't help but take into account the interests of the relationship between the two factions! ”

When Ji Chen heard this, he was even more angry!

"What kind of national righteousness! Wen Xun! Your national righteousness has killed a Wen Linglong, and now, do you want to use it to deal with another woman! ”

At the mention of Wen Linglong, Wen Xun's face changed abruptly!

Just like today's night, the black hand can't see the five fingers, which makes people depressed and breathless.

Wen Xun was stunned, how long had he not thought of that person again, it seemed that it had been a long time.

Since Huo Qingxin came back, his heart has been occupied by this girl.

Ji Chen saw that he didn't speak again, and he was even more angry by his appearance.

"Those things you take care of, I don't care about Ji Chen! If you don't make a move, then I will personally bring someone to rob Huo Qingxin! ”

After speaking, he will brush his sleeves and leave.

Seeing this, Wen Xun hurriedly stopped him.

"Ji Chen! Don't act impulsively right now! Before the funeral of the Qinghe Palace Master was completed, those elders were in a hurry to let Qingxin take over the position of the Palace Master, you haven't thought about it, what's wrong with this! If you act so rashly, not only will you not be able to save Qingxin, but it will also intensify the contradictions. If you fail in your actions, it will be even more difficult to get people out of the Hundred Flowers Palace again. ”

The person who had already turned his back suddenly stopped when he heard these words.

It's not that he hasn't thought about these problems, but it's not a solution just to think about it and not to do it.

Turning around, he asked.

"This doesn't work, that doesn't work, what do you say!"

Wen Xun first let out a long sigh of melancholy and said quietly.

"Alas... The secret passage by the moat has been dug through, and the gunpowder buried around the altar is now afraid that it has been dispersed by the heavy rain. At present, we can only take one step at a time, and then take the opportunity to act. If there is really no other way, I will work with you to stop the succession. Although Fu Rong was arbitrary and domineering in the Hundred Flowers Palace, he was also afraid of the power of the Medicine King Sect. I'm here, and he's not going to ignore me. ”

Ji Chen questioned, "Just the two of us, how can we stop the inauguration ceremony, don't forget, in addition to Huo Qingxin in the Hundred Flowers Palace, there is also a Su Jianxiang." ”

"I know this, and I've also thought about robbing people, but Baihua Palace is not a small sect in the rivers and lakes. If we take people away like this, they won't sit still. So, we're going to solve the problem once and for all. ”

"What's the problem?"

"Let those elders give up the idea of asking Qingxin to take over the position of the palace master and set up someone else!"

"Let someone else be this palace master? Who? ”

At this time, Wen Xun had already turned his head sideways and met the questioning gaze of the person beside him.

"Fu Rong's daughter, Fu Ying. She is the perfect person! ”

Fu Ying?!

Ji Chen couldn't help but fall into contemplation again, earlier, in order to get Fu Ying's help, for the first time in his life, he pulled down his face and went to get close to a woman.

Unexpectedly, it was really as Huo Qingxin guessed.

Fu Ying did have a good impression of him, and after hearing his appeal, she didn't think about it for long, and readily agreed.

It's just that, after she agreed, she made a request to him.

That is, she wanted to invite him to go to Mochou Lake outside the Hundred Flowers Palace to enjoy the flowers.

Fu Ying has been living in the Hundred Flowers Palace since she was born, and she rarely goes out.

For the first time, she admired a man.

And after Ji Chen heard such a request, in order to stabilize her, he had to agree.

He didn't think about keeping that promise.

Now after hearing Wen Xun say that the palace master's candidate was her, he couldn't help but ask more.

"Why, it's Fu Ying?"

In the Hundred Flowers Palace, there are countless female disciples like Fu Ying.

It shouldn't be too difficult to find a suitable successor.

Wen Xun said his opinion, "After all, Fu Ying is Fu Rong's only daughter, and Fu Rong has always been the head of the elders, one person is above ten thousand people. If it weren't for the Qinghe Palace Lord, he would hand over the Palace Master's token to Qingxin. I think Fu Rong must want to include this position of palace master in his bag. ”

Ji Chen couldn't help but be even more puzzled, "If Fu Rong has this thought, then why don't you directly hand over the position of palace master to your daughter." ”

Instead, he grabbed Huo Qing's heart and didn't let go, isn't this counterproductive!

"This is also what I don't understand, the Fu family has been loyal to the successive palace masters for several generations. It's just that unlike the other ancestors of the Fu family, Fu Rong is relatively more ambitious. In my opinion, he is even less of a legalist. I think there will definitely be something else going on at the Hundred Flowers Festival today. ”

Ji Chen, who had heard this, finally understood what he meant.

"What do you mean ... Fu Rong, will there be action? ”

"That's right! On the same day, in a battle with Luo Lie, Lu Qinghe personally handed over the palace master token to Qingxin before he died. At that time, there were many disciples of the Hundred Flowers Palace who saw it. With the palace master token in hand, it is undoubtedly a symbol of the new master. Fu Rong has no way to change everything, as the head of the elders, he has to take on the responsibilities of an elder on the surface, but he is not the first to deal with the funeral of the Qinghe Palace Master, but is in a hurry to hold the inauguration ceremony of the new Palace Master. This is undoubtedly an attempt to promote something unspeakable! ”

"Since you suspect that Fu Rong has the intention of rebellion, then it is not logical for you to send people to clear the chaos within the Hundred Flowers Palace, and then take Huo Qingxin away."

"These are just my guesses. If Fu Rong didn't have the heart to rebel, how could I take someone to break into the Hundred Flowers Palace without permission. He had already established his prestige in the Hundred Flowers Palace, and if he wanted to oppose it, he would definitely find a proper reason or excuse. So, we must be careful tonight. You don't have to worry too much, I have asked Fengyang to gather a group of people outside the palace and stand by at any time. ”

Hearing this, Ji Chen's face darkened.

I thought to myself, you are a sanctimonious hypocrite! I've already arranged everything in secret, but I'm pretending not to know here!

The conversation between the two had long been drowned out by the sound of heavy rain outside.

Calm returned to the hallway, and it wasn't long before a door opened on one side.

Huo Qingxin was dressed in a golden tunic robe, painted with delicate makeup, and a touch of cinnabar red between her eyebrows, which made her look very charming.

The two men standing on the other side of the corridor heard the sound and looked at it.

I saw the people who came ...

Huo Qingxin raised his eyes and looked at the two people not far away.

This glance reveals a hint of coldness, indifference, and even alienation...

'The Hundred Flowers Palace is so big, why can't you two go to a farther place to talk, at least, not within the range of what she can hear... ’

She thought with some sadness in her heart.

Wen Linglong...

This is the first time she has heard this name.

I just don't know what kind of connection this person has with Wen Xun.

After a few faint glances, Huo Qingxin didn't stop, so he passed by them directly and walked towards the main hall of the Hundred Flowers Palace...
