Chapter 156: Prime Minister

Lan Lingxiang hates to be repeatedly mentioned the identity of her Yin Ge Yan family, although she is very reluctant to give up the opportunity to bargain with Mu Yunxi, but if the stalemate continues, Xian Cheng will not be able to control his mouth, this guy is submissive on the surface, but in fact, he is happy alone because he accidentally touched her chest just now.

If this man had not been her cousin, she would have chopped him up and trampled him into a pulp.

Seeing Lan Lingxiang's muzzle pointing down, Liu Yuhan immediately put his sword back into its sheath to show that the other party would let him go.

"Forget it, I'm tired, if Cortana nods and agrees to go with you, Miss Ben won't bother with you. With that, Lan Lingxiang buttoned the button on the holster and tied it back to his waist.

Unless Ling Wenxuan agreed, Youna couldn't go with them. She could see that Mu Yunxi didn't know the bottom of her heart about this, otherwise she could have completely ignored her cousin's safety just now, after all, she would not kill her, but they didn't know much about the relationship between Xian Cheng and her, but they still came to the rescue, she speculated that Mr. Searcher and his assistant must have been entrusted by someone on this trip, as for the identity of that person and why Xian Cheng appeared here, there is no need to delve into it.

A light smile couldn't help but appear on the corner of Lan Lingxiang's mouth, but unfortunately, in a fleeting moment, Youna's appearance still slapped her in the face, making her idea just now stupid and ridiculous.

"Why did you go so long?" What did he say to you?"

Yu Na remembered Ling Wenxuan's entrustment to herself just now, and hurriedly shook her head.

Mu Yunxi's gaze moved downward, and he quickly noticed something missing from Yuna's chest: "What do ......you mean?" Does it have something to do with the piece of jade on your body that is strung with a necklace?"

Yuna pressed her chest and said softly, "I put it away, the more beautiful it is, the more people covet it, and the more you have to keep it." ”

"That's right, but I don't think that's the only thing that's beautiful. Mu Yunxi's index finger pressed against his temple, "Memory is the most important thing as a person." ”

"Memories are such things as they get in the way of my life. Yuna lifted her lowered eyes, "However, there must be the answer I have been looking for. ”

Lan Lingxiang's mood was difficult to calm down, and he hurriedly persuaded: "Have you really thought about it? If you go with him, what will happen to Ling Scourge?"

"Lord Priest is very skilled and knowledgeable, I believe that without us, he would have been able to find the Seven Divine Weapons, not to mention that I am just a mortal who has not cultivated, so I can't help him much. ”

"It's still Cortana who knows how to take care of the overall situation, not like someone, and will cause chaos along the way. Ling Wenxuan's voice was full of mockery, he walked towards him, deliberately avoiding Lan Lingxiang's stunned gaze, he exchanged a few words with the guards around him, turned to Mu Yunxi and said, "You leave the carriage behind, and then you can go." ”

Ling Wenxuan's abnormal words made Mu Yunxi stunned, he frowned slightly, feeling a strong uneasiness in his heart, in other words, he didn't have to speculate about his thoughts, but the humiliation he received for the first time in his life was all due to Ling Wenxuan, besides, Ling Wenxuan appeared here to seize the crown of courage, from now until the end of the parade, he had to keep an eye on this person's every move.

Accompanied by the sound of orchestral instruments, the eyes of everyone appeared in front of the eyes of a magnificent golden sedan chair, decorated with a golden luan with a bell in its mouth, supplemented by a nanmu axle below, and a wheel larger than the diameter of an adult's open hands. Hundreds of civil and military officials lined up on both sides of the car, and in front of him was a great witch wearing a dancing god mask, with a poisonous snake wrapped around his left hand and a human bone staff in his right hand, dancing a strange dance.

Mu Yunxi was a little envious when he saw the king's procession through the middle of the street, but Ling Wenxuan whispered with a look of disdain: "Talking lightly, let alone ghosts and gods, maybe this is politics, full of filth and ugliness." ”

"What, don't you think so?" Finding that Mu Yunxi didn't respond to him, Ling Wenxuan continued, "In the past, it was the Tianyao Sect priest who was in charge of presiding over the rituals of the Gara Kingdom, and everything seemed to be in order, but now it is a mess of bull ghosts and snake gods. ”

"I think His Majesty has done the right thing, the Tianyao Religion is a foreign religion, and it must be eliminated from the threat it poses to the traditional culture of the Gara Kingdom, and besides, there are many evil people in the name of religion. After speaking, Mu Yunxi glanced at Ling Wenxuan and found that his voice was much quieter, but it still did not reduce the color of mockery.

"Human nature is the interweaving of good, evil and desire, religion is just a layer of clothing on the top, the choice of good or evil, all due to the desire of human nature, has nothing to do with the outer garment itself, there are sages in tattered clothes in this world, and there are also beasts in gorgeous clothes, and they don't even want this layer of clothing. ”

He put the back of his right hand on the left side of his face, and glanced at a brown-robed official at the head of the chariot on the right side: "Ju Chong, the right army guard, this man is insidious and cunning, and he does all kinds of evil, but he has won the favor of His Majesty, and the red silk carpet under our feet, which stretches from the main entrance of the palace to the central square of the city, is a generous gift he presents to His Majesty, and it is enough to weave it by the countless money he plunders from the people every year." ”

"The scattered cavalry left general Ju Liang, Ju Chong's younger brother. As he spoke, he glanced at a gray-robed official at the head of the left side of the car, "Because of his murderous nature, he likes to torture prisoners of war for pleasure, and his methods are as good as his brother's, and ironically, under the influence of martial culture, he has become a hero in people's mouths, and those trampled lives are treated as invaders." ”

"And ......" A wafting aroma caused Ling Wenxuan to hurriedly stop his words, urging everyone to lower their heads.

The man regarded the courage to face him as a challenge and contempt for himself, and he considered himself the most authoritative person in the country except His Majesty, and could not tolerate such disrespectful gaze, and those who offended him out of curiosity or misunderstanding were no different from those who openly disobeyed and opposed him, except that a look of the eye could make a person's head go wrong, and the same simple and unpretentious jade pendant could avoid the death penalty of those who aided the enemy.

When that hand slapped on Ling Wenxuan's right shoulder, he knew very well the weight of this person's words, and the chill of the metal ring spread throughout his body: "You have done a good job in this matter, it's just ...... Your relationship with that person, I hope you will honestly explain it to me after the ceremony. ”

After speaking, he stretched out his hand to flick off the dust on his shirt, and returned to the parade with the support of his entourage.

"What did he tell you just now?" Mu Yunxi put aside Liu Yuhan, who was tugging at his sleeve, if she hadn't insisted on discussing things with her, he would definitely have been able to overhear the key conversation just now.

Obviously, Ling Wenxuan hadn't recovered from the scene just now, and when he reacted, the procession had already gone away, and he could only barely identify the back of the man: "The prime minister of the Jialuo Kingdom is the second brother of the Lord of the Blood Shadow Village, and the brother of the Lord of the Blood Shadow Valley. ”

After speaking, he found that the look on Mu Yunxi's face was wrong: "What?

Liu Yuhan on the side shook his head, stepped forward to answer for Mu Yunxi: "No, this is the first time we have met this prime minister, but the death of his brother is related to us, and we only sigh that he is immersed in the glory of winning the battle, and he has no idea about it, which is both pitiful and sad." ”

"Yes! At the beginning, the fierce died under my sword, and the bloodthirsty picture of a thousand feathers is like yesterday. Jiang Zhifei hugged the scabbard between his arms, "The Blood Shadow Troupe has been destroyed, and there is only one brother left, whether or not to uphold justice and justice depends on your personal judgment, Brother Mu." ”

Seeing that the other three were at a loss, Xian Cheng told the other party about the previous battle of wits and courage between them and the Blood Shadow Troupe: "Fortunately, the two investigators rescued him, and my son was saved from the poisonous hands of the Blood Shadow Troupe, and we followed the traces of the remnants of the Blood Shadow Regiment to this place along the way." ”

After listening to Xian Cheng's narration, Lan Lingxiang snorted and stabbed Ling Wenxuan's waist with his elbow: "Ling Scourge, these people have caused such a big disaster, is there any chance that your plan to seize the crown of courage will succeed?" I am really worried about you. ”

Yuna also persuaded with good words: "Let's look for the crown of courage next time, and find a way to get out of here safely first." ”

"Xiao Na, you don't understand at all, how important the Seven Artifacts are to our Tianyao Sect, in short, if you don't achieve your goal, I will not give up. ”

Facing the reproach that Ling Wenxuan had never had for herself, Yu Na took a small step back, her eyes full of disappointment.

"I'm curious, in the face of such a tight guard, how will you seize the crown of courage?" Mu Yunxi put his fingertips together and meditated for a while behind closed doors, "Ling Wenxuan, don't think that I don't know your past, although you are a mediocre person, but you are good at playing clever skills are unbeatable, it is said that you collected ancient relics for the Tianyao Sect back then, relying on all kinds of means of pitting, deceiving, cheating, and robbing, could it be that the methods of the year have not been used for a long time and have not been forgotten?"

"It's worthy of the famous Mr. Investigator, you have seen through it. Ling Wenxuan snorted coldly, "Why don't you analyze it, how will I take the crown of courage worn on His Majesty's head next?"

Mu Yunxi didn't answer immediately, or the commotion from the crowd just now made him give up thinking for the time being.

By this time the king's chariot had stopped in front of the fountain in the middle of the square, and the conductor's baton tapped the table to signal the music to stop, and after a moment of silence, he turned the page and played a new piece. The palace guards lined up in a zigzag shape on the left and right sides, separating the crowd from the palace ministers attending the ceremony, and the horses pulling the carts had been led away by the soldiers, leaving only the golden sedan chair leaning on the ground.

The two bare-chested men on either side of the sedan chair used all their strength to drown out the fading music with the horns of victory, but after the sound of the horns, the scene returned to silence, and everyone watched with bated breath in front of the sedan chair, waiting for the moment when His Majesty the King would emerge from the sedan chair, raise the crown of courage, and make a declaration of victory.

Everything went smoothly so far, but after a long time, people still haven't seen what they were hoping for.

The crowd surrounded the streets, and they had to climb to the side of the carriage that had been parked on the side of the road to see the middle of the square. However, unlike the solemn expressions of the rest of the people, Ling Wenxuan was unusually calm in the face of His Majesty the King's absence for a long time.

For a long time, a ghostly smile flashed at the corner of his mouth.
