He Mengxi struggled for a while, and finally decided to let Ling Zixu and Fengcheng alone deal with many Tianmu Sect masters, and he and Ji Fan came to the main hall of Tianmu Mountain.

When Ji Fan pushed the door of the main hall, He Mengxi was no longer entangled, and his thoughts were already very clear.

The majestic and towering hall is built on the top of Tianmu Mountain, and the whole body of the building under the moonlight exudes silver light, which is eye-catching, and makes people marvel, this momentum is no less than the Jinluan Hall of the Imperial Palace.

The door opened, and a group of people gathered inside, and He Mengxi walked in under the leadership of Ji Fan.

Before she could see who they were, she shuddered at the sound of a uniform voice.

"See Her Royal Highness the Princess!"

Dozens of people spoke together, so that He Mengxi suddenly forgot where she was, looking at the crowd of people who were on their knees, her mind was a little confused, just now she thought she understood, and suddenly she felt even more confused.

"What is this?" He Mengxi looked at Ji Fan with an ignorant expression.

Ji Fan smiled gently: "Princess, don't you remember, who do you think he is?" ”

He pointed to a standing man behind him, the only one who didn't kneel.

The man was about thirty years old, with thin cheeks, a short beard under the chin, a rebellious expression, sharp eyes, and a smile on the corner of his mouth when he saw He Mengxi, and he was about to come over.

"Her Royal Highness the princess arrived, Hu Chong missed the distance, it is really a sin!" Hu Chong gave a deep salute.

"Who is this......?" He Mengxi was puzzled.

"The general of Chen Guo, the most trusted person of the old emperor in the past, now that the new emperor has ascended the throne, he has made him a general, and he has been ordered to take over the Tianmu Sect ......" Ji Fan introduced with a smile.

He Mengxi's heart sank, and he said lightly: "So, if today's grandmother's sect, it is General Hu who is in charge?" ”

Hu Chong smiled and didn't answer, and Ji Fan spoke.

"It's a pity that the back mountain was occupied by the traitor Yang Jin, and now the two are facing each other." Ji Fan's expression was a little vague.

"Who is Yang Jin and why did he rebel?" He Mengxi was confused and couldn't tell what the situation was.

"Princess, don't worry, talk in the backyard, let's talk slowly, this kneeling group of Chen Guo soldiers, do you want them to ......" Ji Fan gestured.

"Oh! All the soldiers ...... flat," He Mengxi said hurriedly.

The crowd that stood up looked at He Mengxi with curiosity, He Mengxi smiled awkwardly, and walked back in the direction led by Ji Fan.

A low whisper was heard by her.

"This is the princess of our Chen Kingdom?"

"Yes, it is said that he was taught by Tianmu, and he is strong in martial arts, and he is known as the jade-faced general......"

"I heard that she was once arrested by Shu ......"

"Ah, there is this, and now ......"

"Don't be noisy!" Hu Chong suddenly turned around and shouted, and the hall was silent for a while, and everyone's eyes seemed to have changed when they looked at He Mengxi.

He Mengxi shook his head helplessly, followed Ji Fan to the backyard, the two sat down, and Ji Fan talked about the complicated situation of the Tianmu Sect.

The old sect leader Qiu Zhengyang died suddenly half a year ago at the age of one hundred and one, and he had always been a person who was highly respected and admired and revered by the sect, but before he died, he had selfish intentions and mainly let his own nephew take over as the next sect leader.

No, as soon as he died, there was a rebellion in the sect, and the new sect leader was murdered before he took office.

The two deputy sect leaders should have been on an equal footing, but Hu Chong was named a general by Emperor Chen Guoxin, and granted him the right to take over the Tianmu Sect, Yang Jin was naturally unconvinced, during which the two sides fought hard, each had a victory or defeat, and there was a stalemate, so one occupied the front mountain, and the other occupied the back mountain, so it was a stalemate.

Ji Fan probably talked about the ins and outs, but He Mengxi still didn't understand.

"Has the sect leader of the Heavenly Mu Sect always been enshrined by Emperor Chen?" She asked.

Ji Fan replied: "Of course not, it's just that the old sect leader and the old emperor of Chen State are close friends, and the relationship between the Tianmu Sect and the Chen royal family is close, and it is basically dependent on the Chen State, so the Tianmu Sect has not fallen for a hundred years, and now, Qiu Zhengyang Immortal has passed away, and the new emperor feels that it is more convincing to trace back to the source and crown the new sect leader!" ”

"Really?" He Mengxi sneered.

Ji Fan was surprised: "The new emperor is your own brother, what, do you think it's inappropriate?" ”

Of course, He Mengxi felt that it was inappropriate in her heart, but because of Ji Fan's position, she was not easy to say.

So she asked, "Senior brother, there is a question, I want to know your answer. ”

"What?"

"If, I mean if, if you had to choose between me and the new emperor, who would you choose?"

"Huh?" Ji Fan didn't want her to ask this, and looked at He Mengxi very suspiciously.

He Mengxi smiled nonchalantly and said empathetically: "Isn't it a little difficult?" ”

"Don't be embarrassed, no matter if I choose between you and anyone, I will always be on your side!" Ji Fan said seriously.

This was the answer she wanted to hear, so she smiled with satisfaction: "Senior brother, I will remember this sentence." ”

"Never break your word!" Although Ji Fan didn't know why she asked such a strange question, he was full of confidence when he said these four words.

"By the way, senior brother, how can I meet Aunt Qinyu?" He Mengxi diverted the topic.

"She's in the water prison in the back mountain!" Ji Fan replied.

"Why is this happening?" He Mengxi wanted to know who imprisoned Aunt Qinyu.

"It's hard to put into words, the major elders in the sect affairs were co-opted by the two deputy sect masters respectively, and they were also divided into two factions, only Aunt Qinyu and her, no one followed, no one ignored, she was the youngest elder-level figure, compared with the ten dying elders, she was also the most worried about the two deputy sect masters, no matter who she went to, it would be a fatal blow to the other party, so they teamed up to design and trapped her in the water prison!"

"So she can help each other? But she didn't help anyone in the first place? He Mengxi wondered.

Ji Fan shook his head and sighed: "The so-called puppet is not guilty!" ”

"Where's the water prison, anyway, I'm going to see her!" He Mengxi looked resolute.

"The back mountain is controlled by Yang Jin, I'm afraid it's inconvenient for me to go, the little junior sister is new to it, but you can give it a try." Ji Fan smiled.

"Okay, I'll go now, senior brother just need to specify the direction for me." He Mengxi thought, Li Qian was waiting in the back mountain, there must be more accurate news.

Ji Fan nodded.

"Also, don't let Hu Chong know my whereabouts." He Mengxi advised.

Ji Fan nodded hesitantly.

"Then I'll go!"

"Little junior sister!"

"Huh?"

"That...... Silver Phoenix Sword, how did you get it? ”

"Don't ask about this, senior brother, there will be a period later!" He Mengxi stood up.

Ji Fan was slightly disappointed, but also stood up and said, "Let's go, I'll send you to the mountain pass!" ”

The two came out of the back door, a gust of mountain wind struck, the coolness was forested, and a bright moon hid behind the dark clouds, and in front of them was the dark mountain road and the shadows of the trees.
