Xiaoyao Palace, An Lu arrived as promised, and as soon as he entered the palace gate, he noticed a trace of abnormality, and for the sake of prudence, he did not go to the place agreed with Xiao Yan in the letter for the first time, but went directly to the Fang Palace.

An Lu walked into the Chufang Palace, the lights were bright but empty, and there was a smell of blood in the air, and he immediately became vigilant.

"Marshal An, I'm afraid it's inappropriate to come here late at night", Xiao Can walked out and looked at An Ludao.

"I'm here to visit my sister Concubine An, but it's the fifth prince, shouldn't she be in the mansion at this time? Why did you come to the Chuan Fang Palace?"

"Hahaha... Marshal An, I'm waiting for you here."

As soon as An Lu heard this, everything suddenly became clear in his heart, so he was no longer ambiguous, and took a few steps forward and asked, "Fifth prince, what is the purpose of your appointment to me?"

Xiao Can smiled, and as soon as he clapped his hands, someone dragged Concubine An out.

An Lu saw Concubine An's unkempt hair, her face was bruised, and her body was stained with blood, and she immediately became angry, but she still tried her best to suppress her anger and said, "Fifth prince, what does this mean?"

"Marshal An, don't you understand"? Xiao Can said, deliberately grabbed Concubine An's head and asked her to look at An Lu.

"Xiao Chan... You want to die...", An Lu said with a long fist towards Xiao Can.

"Someone... Take it", Xiao Can's voice fell, and more than a dozen guards jumped out on both sides, attacking An Lu together.

An Lu's martial arts were obviously above the guards, and more than a dozen guards were not his opponents at all, and they were all quickly injured to the ground.

"Xiao Can, it's your turn...", An Lu said and approached Xiao Can, and after fighting Xiao Can for a while, Xiao Can was defeated, An Lu hit Xiao Can's chest with a palm, but it was empty.

Xiao Can looked at Kui You who saved him and said, "Why did you come"?

"I'm here early...".

"Then you did it on purpose...", Xiao Can was angry, looking at Kui You who didn't care, and he was helpless, so he had to endure it: "You help me take him down."

Kui You glanced at An Lu, and said with a sentence: "A mere mortal, do you still use me to do it?" You can do it yourself", said and disappeared.

"You...", Xiao Can was helpless, so he had to threaten Concubine An: "An Lu, if you still want her to live, just arrest her."

An Lu fought with the guards, glanced at Xiao Can, and roared angrily, shaking everyone away, and approaching Xiao Can again. Xiao Can took precautions this time, lifted Concubine An up, blocked the front, and a dagger scratched Concubine An's side face, and blood dripped straight down.

"Xiaocan, let her go".

"Don't think... I forgot to tell you that Xiao Yan and Xiao Huang are also in my hands, if you dare to resist again, I will let people kill them immediately", Xiao Can shouted to the guards on both sides after speaking, "Don't take it for me yet".

Xiao Can's dagger went straight to Concubine An's chest, and with a little force, the tip of the sword pierced into the flesh, blood stained her clothes red, An Lu was distracted, and her back was cut by a guard, and more than a dozen guards attacked again together, tied up and brought to Xiao Can.

"Xiao Can, I won't let you go", An Lu glared at Xiao Can angrily.

"You're not going to give you that chance, take it."

In Changle Palace, a guard came to report that Xiao Xi had caught An Lu, but he happened to be heard by Manager Li, and he was so shocked that he almost didn't stop.

"Who...", he said.

Manager Li quickly calmed down his emotions and walked out calmly: "The eldest prince, it's me."

"Mr. Li, what's the matter"?

"It's going to be dawn in a minute, I'll turn off the lights."

"Hmm...", Xiao Xi looked at Manager Li, signaling that he could turn off the lights, but his eyes kept staring at him.

Manager Li didn't dare to let Xiao Xi see any flaws, straightened his waist, walked to the lamp with a steady and steady pace, took off the lampshade, turned off the lamp, and walked to the next lamp, his movements were skillful and smooth, without the slightest panic.

"You go down, just take care of your father, as for other things, Mr. Li should know how to do it."

"It's... The Great Prince", Mr. Li bowed respectfully, retreated, and then came to Xiaoji's dormitory, looked at Xiaoji, stayed for a while, the more he thought about it, the more worried he was in his heart, until the sky was completely bright, and he didn't come out of the Changle Palace.

Manager Li went to the dining room to find Wufu, who was helping with the kitchen, and asked him to send the newly imported preserved fruits to the palaces, so that the palaces could try them, in order to find out more accurate news.

"Wufu, you go to Lengyantai, if you see the Nine Emperors, invite the Nine Emperors to come to the Changle Palace", Manager Li instructed.

"It's... Master".

"Go ahead, be smart."

"Got it, don't worry, master, I will do a good job."

"Hmm... Go and come back".

In Guangling Palace, Wufu came in with preserved fruits, but as soon as he entered the palace gate, he was stopped by the guards, and then he quarreled.

Xiao Xuan rushed over when he heard the sound, and when he saw that it was Wufu, he said: "Wufu, what are you doing here?"

"It turned out to be the third prince, I'm here to send new preserved fruits to the palaces, why don't you try it too", Wufu said, quickly took a plate from the eunuch behind him, opened the lid, and presented it to Xiao Xuan.

Xiao Xuan took a piece and put it in his mouth, chewed it, it tasted good, and after eating a few pieces, he said: "Give it to me, I will send someone to give it to your imperial brothers."

"This...", Wufu was a little embarrassed, but he didn't dare to disobey, so he had to let the eunuchs hand the plates in their hands to the guards.

Xiaoping saw that Xiao Yan did not return overnight, he knew that it was not good, and he wanted to come out to find Xiao Yan as soon as it was dawn, but he was stopped when he walked to the gate of Guangling Palace, and he walked back, heard movement at the gate of the palace, turned back to see what was going on, and saw Wufu, and his heart was overjoyed, so he had the courage to come up and say: "Let me out...".

Wufu saw that it was Xiaoping, and wanted to step forward, but he heard Xiaoping suddenly plead loudly: "Third Prince, have you seen our Nine Emperors, he hasn't returned all night, and he doesn't know where he went, you let me go out and find it."

When Wufu heard this, his heart tightened, and he understood that this was Xiaoping passing the news to himself.

Xiao Xuan turned his head to look at Xiaoping, motioned for the guards to take her down, and then turned to Wufu and the others: "You all go back, there is nothing for you here."

"Yes...", Wufu was helpless, watched the guards drag Xiaoping down, turned around and led everyone away.

In the Fang Palace, Wufu led people into the palace gate and was driven out by the guards, and warned not to enter.

In the Changle Palace, Wufu personally came to Manager Li with a plate of preserved fruits, and told him about the current situation in each palace, especially the information transmitted by Xiaoping and the strict vigilance of the Chufang Palace.

After listening to this, Manager Li already knew in his heart that the situation was far more terrible than he imagined, and he was a little at a loss for a while, so he had to let Wufu go down first, and repeatedly told him to be careful.

In the palace dungeon, it was already noon when the flame woke up, but it was dark and cold in the dungeon, coupled with the severe pain on his body, he curled up, did not dare to move at all, gritted his teeth and endured, his teeth trembled.

"You're finally awake...", Kuiyu's voice came.

Hearing this, Xiao Yan looked straight over, watching Kui You slowly approach.

Kui You squatted down in front of Xiao Yan and said, "Xiao Yan, am I overestimating you?" You are not worthy of being my opponent at all, it turns out that you are nothing more than a mortal, flesh and blood, and a weakness is enough to kill".

"Get out...", Xiao Yan coldly spat out a word, closed his eyes, and didn't want to look at Kui You more.

"Hahaha.... Don't you want to save your brother and mother, I can help you, as long as you are willing to trade with me", Kui You said, staring at Xiao Yan's reaction, seeing that he was indifferent, he thought about it, and then continued: "I don't know the pain you are suffering now, can Yan Ziyue also empathize, you say, if she knew your current situation, would she come?"

When Xiao Yan heard this, he opened his eyes and glared at Kui You and said, "You dare...".

"Don't you want her to come"?

"If you dare to hurt her, I will drag you to hell with me."

"Hahaha.... To hell? I'll wait for you, hahaha...", Kuiyu laughed and turned to leave.

After dawn, An Fu and An Shou came to the garrison outside the city, seized the four gates of Xiaojing from the hands of Xiaoxi's Jingwei with lightning speed, and issued a military order to Anjiajun to transfer troops back to Beijing.

After dark, the ghost came back and told the ghost that the palace had been controlled by the eldest prince Xiaoxi, I am afraid that An Lu would enter the palace and have no news, which will inevitably make people more worried.

In the dead of night, the ghost thought about it and decided to take a risk, and took the ghost and the ghost to explore the palace again, trying to find the flame.

Kui You has been observing Xiao Yan in the dark, seeing that he is not moving, covered in blood, the wound on his back has formed a blood scab, and his breath is free from time to time, I really wonder if he can no longer support it, so he stepped forward to take a look, and said: "Tell you a news, about Yan Ziyue, do you want to hear it"?

"If you want to say it, just say it, if you don't say it, get out of me...", Xiao Yan's breath of speech was incoherent.

Kui You heard Xiao Yan's voice and made sure that he was not dead, so he said with peace of mind: "It's okay to tell you, Yan Ziyue ordered the transfer of more than 100,000 soldiers to build a dam on the Xianyue Volcano, you say, why did she do this?"

Xiao Yan listened, what was in her mind was not the purpose of Yan Ziyue's doing, as long as it was something she was going to do, she didn't ask the reason, she only had support, so she was more concerned about the difficulties she would encounter in doing this, and whether she could cope with it alone.

Xiao Xi learned that An Jiajun had captured the four gates of Xiaojing, and the An Jiajun who was outside was rushing to Xiaojing, so he asked An Lu from Xiao Can's hands and put An Lu under house arrest. An Lu thought about it, his attitude was very unclear, and he put forward conditions to Xiao Xi, asking him to ensure the safety of Concubine An and Xiao Huang before considering cooperation.

Xiao Xi thought about it, discussed it with Xiao Xuan, and decided that as long as the person was in his own hands, he was not afraid of any tricks he used, so he agreed, and then found Xiao Can and asked him to hand over Concubine An's mother and son, but Xiao Can refused, which made him even more suspicious and unpleasant. In the end, Xiao Can was forced to have no choice but to hand over Concubine An's mother and son to Xiao Xi, who brought people to An Lu and forced him to comply. An Lu endured humiliation, dealt with Xiao Xi, and had no choice but to agree that Xiao Xi temporarily stabilized the morale of the army and was not allowed to enter Xiaojing.

Xiao Xi looked for Kui You and asked when Xiao Ji would wake up, planning that although he did not have the status of a prince, he was already a prisoner of the country, as long as Xiao Ji woke up and announced that he was in his place, then a big thing could be done.

Kui You probed Xiao Ji's situation and found that he was still conscious, and felt a little strange, but he didn't tell Xiao Xi, but told him that he would have to wait a little longer. In fact, Kuiyu is not interested in the battle for the throne of Xiaoyao, and the purpose of coming to Xiaoyao is to get his soul, as well as the power of the black dragon hidden in his body.

The ghost shadows searched the entire palace, but they couldn't find An Lu, let alone the news of the flames, so they couldn't help but be even more anxious. The ghost shadow and others infiltrated Guangling Palace, broke into Xiao Yan's bedroom, and exchanged hands with An Lu and others.

"How are you"? The Witch asked.

"I guess I'm asking you, why are you here?" An Lu asked.

"We're looking for the Nine Emperors," the ghost replied with a step forward.

"yes, we've all looked around the palace and haven't seen anyone else," the ghost added.

An Lu and the others glanced at each other, and they all guessed one or two in their hearts.

"We are also looking for the Lord, it stands to reason that there should be no one on the Cold Flame Terrace, we have been here for a day, and no one has ever come in," An Lu said.

"Sure enough, something happened to them," said the ghost.

"What do you mean"? An Lu asked.

"My father-in-law received a letter from Xiao Yan and came to the palace to see him, and he didn't go back after that, so we went into the palace to check and found that the palace was already under the control of the eldest prince, so, most likely, they were... Something has already happened", replied the ghost.

An Lu glanced back at Donglai and the others behind him, turned to the ghost shadow and said: "The Lord asked us to check the traces of the archmage Kuiyou, and we finally confirmed that he did come to live with the eldest prince and others, and His Majesty the Emperor Xiao's coma is likely to be related to him, so it is very likely that he has been in the palace all along... But when we came to the Lord to report it, we found that the Cold Flame Terrace was empty."

"Xiaoping is also gone, I hope she is safe", Donglai said with a worried face.

"Brother Donglai, Xiaoping will be fine, we will find her", Zephyr comforted.

"An Lu, the Lord must still be in the palace, let's go separately to find the Lord", Nanshan Road.

"You're right," An Lu nodded in agreement.

"We help too," Ghost said.

"Well, let's go our separate ways, even if we dig three feet into the ground, we will find the Lord," An Lu secretly vowed.

In Changle Palace, Manager Li has always been very obedient in front of Xiao Xi, and he also actively cooperated with him to find the jade seal, which made Xiao Xi not reject him, and he seemed to have some trust.

Mr. Li finally found an opportunity to get close to An Lu.

"Li Xiang, it's you... You've come just in time."

"Marshal Ann, I... You say, what should I do next"?

"Ask for help, find a way to send the news out, in addition, we must find the whereabouts of the Nine Emperor Princes, only if we rescue him, we can hope."

"It's... I will do my best", Mr. Li promised.

"You go quickly, don't be discovered".

"Yes...", Manager Li paid attention to the surrounding situation and left cautiously.

After Mr. Li went back, he thought about it and had to take the risk of trying, and after waiting for nightfall, he sneaked into the cold flame platform, and as soon as he entered the hospital, he was hit by a sword to his throat.
