451 Sneaking into the palace
The carriage that Hua Qian brought to pick up Li Xiang was very spacious, even if Li Xiang could only lie on his stomach because of his injury, it could be completely accommodated, and even Hua Qian sat in the carriage, and the two of them could be far apart.
The speed of the carriage was very fast, and it didn't take long to pass through the city and go straight to the county lord's palace. Because Mochizuki Castle is close to the front line of the Witch Country, the military is also very strong, and the area around the county lord's palace is naturally heavily guarded. When they were about to reach the Lord's Palace, there were no pedestrians on the main road, only the patrolling black-helmeted warriors.
The palace of the lord of Yeecheong is built on a small island in Lake Mochizuki, and to reach the palace, you must pass through an artificial avenue that spans the lake for half a mile. Horse-drawn carriages drive down the avenue and you can see the crystal clear water of the lake on the side of the road.
At this time, Li Xiang thought of a question that the original protagonist Rand was also puzzled about, that is, the county lord's palace of the county lord of Liqing, the palace of the great head of state, and the witch palace of the witch Lily were all built in the middle of the lake. This should not be a coincidence, but there should be some secret. It's just that what this secret is, Li Xiang can't guess it now.
With Hua Qian leading the way, the carriage did not encounter any obstacles when it entered the county lord's palace. The carriage did not stop after entering the palace gate, but went directly to the gate of a palace. Hua Qian got out of the carriage first and instructed the palace maid who greeted him: "Carry him in and take good care of him." ”
Several palace maids were obviously not simple, and easily lifted Li Xiang, a big man, out of the carriage and into the palace. Hua Qian also walked in, and after Li Xiang was put on the bed, she suddenly asked, "What's your name?" ”
Li Xiang has crossed many planes, and his name is different almost every time, so he is particularly sensitive in this regard. Almost as soon as Hua Qian's words fell, she replied, "You just call me the Divine Power King, I'm used to it." ”
Hua Qian frowned and said, "What is this name?" ”
Li Xiang said indifferently: "A name is just a mark for people to recognize. Does it make a difference what it is called? ”
Hua Qian shook her head and didn't continue to ask, and said, "You can take care of your injuries." The county lord will come to see you when he has time. If your injuries heal relatively quickly and you can walk around on the ground, remember not to leave this compound, otherwise you will blame me for being ruthless! ”
Li Xiang nodded and said, "Don't worry, I will obediently wait for the favor of the county lord here." ”
These words made Hua Qian frown again, but she didn't say anything more, and turned to leave. As soon as she left, Li Xiang immediately closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep, so that the palace maids who served did not dare to stay longer. After covering Li Xiang with the quilt, he stepped back, so as not to make a noise to Li Xiang.
After everyone else retreated, Li Xiang opened his eyes again, and got up from the bed neatly, without the slightest appearance of serious injury. In fact, although the wound on his back is terrifying, it has long since healed. If it weren't for the fact that he still wanted to confuse the county lord of Liqing, the last bit of blood scab would have faded long ago.
Li Xiang walked around the palace twice and visited the furnishings. He left the palace and returned to the hotel. Qi Bei was sitting on a chair in front of the window reading a book, and when he saw Li Xiang silently appearing in his room, he suddenly jumped up in fright. Drawing his sword, he pointed at Li Xiang and asked, "Who are you?" ”
Li Xiang chuckled and said, "Don't be nervous, it's me." Isn't it just a mask? Can't recognize me? ”
After a careful look, Qibei is an old river and lake. confirmed Li Xiang's identity. He breathed a sigh of relief and put his sword back into its sheath. said, "Where did you get the mask?" It's really ingenious. Also, how did you end up in my room? I didn't feel it at all! ”
Li Xiang said: "I'll talk about this later." I'm here to inform you that tonight you will take Xiqi to the downstream of the Mochizuki River Pier to find a boat, and they will take you across the Mochizuki River to the Witch Country. ”
Qi Bei looked at the mask on Li Xiang's face, nodded to show that he understood, but still asked, "Aren't you with us?" ”
Li Xiang said: "I still have something to do, it will be a little later." But don't worry, with my ability to suddenly appear just now, and you didn't even notice it, it's easy to escape, and I believe that no one can keep up with me. ”
Qi Bei smiled and said, "Don't be too arrogant, if your ability is really so powerful, how can you be chased by the black helmet warriors?" ”
When he was chased by the black-helmeted soldiers, Li Xiang hadn't come yet, so of course he would be embarrassed. However, Li Xiang couldn't explain this, so he could only say: "It was a situation when they were surrounded by thousands of troops, if they were not prepared, even if they sent a large army, they would be helpless against me." Okay, I can't leave for too long, so I'll go back, and we'll see you in the Witch Country. ”
Qi Bei suddenly stopped: "Wait, although Xiqi misunderstood you, are you too cold to her?" Do you really dislike her? ”
This question gave Li Xiang a little headache, Xiqi is a good girl, not only beautiful, but also kind-hearted and understanding, any man will like it. But Li Xiang doesn't want to be a breeder-horse, there are too many beauties in this plane, he can't see one and love the other, he is not that kind of person. But Qibei obviously wanted to match him and Xiqi, so that Li Xiang didn't know how to refuse, so he could only continue to use the procrastination Da-Fadao: "This question, let's wait until we get to the Witch Country and settle down, and then talk about it slowly, okay?" ”
Qibei nodded helplessly and said, "Okay, when the time comes, you will explain all the problems at once." ”
Li Xiang flashed back to the palace and patted his head with a headache. The peach blossom luck of the original protagonist Rand is too vigorous, and even the foundation of his future godhood is built on fraternity. But Li Xiang is not a rand, he can't accept one when he sees one like rand. Once they leave this plane, Li Xiang and them will be separated forever, since it is destined to be so, it is better to stay away from it from the beginning. Therefore, Li Xiang can't do rand.
But if you don't do Rand, I'm afraid that you won't be able to receive the energy of the witch like Rand, and even if you receive the energy of the witch, you won't be able to grow this energy, so how can you become a god in this plane? This is a vicious circle, which makes Li Xiang helpless.
After thinking about it, Li Xiang decided to go with the flow. It is best to receive the energy of the witch, and he can also experience a different way of becoming a god. If he can't accept it, it's nothing, it's a big deal that he will practice according to the "Taiqing Heart Method", maybe he will practice the "Nine Turns Xuangong", I believe it will not be too bad.
Letting go of his thoughts, Li Xiang lay on the bed and fell asleep, ready to recuperate enough to act at night. But in the evening, the palace maid actually lit spices in the incense burner. Li Xiang, who is deeply versed in medicine and poison, just smelled it slightly, and knew that there was something strange in the spice, adding something that made people sleep.
Although this thing can't affect the success of "Jiuyang Divine Skill" at all, Li Xiang, who is already invulnerable to poison, but since the palace maid has lit the spices, I am afraid that someone will come to see him at night while he is asleep. In this way, he could not move freely, which made Li Xiang, who wanted to steal things and leave quickly, very annoyed.
In the middle of the night, someone came, and it was the lord of Liqing. She came to the bedside and first looked at the wound on Li Xiang's back to confirm that it was really injured. Then he touched Li Xiang's body, as if he was picking livestock. This made Li Xiang secretly angry in his heart, and he almost couldn't help jumping up several times, killing the county lord of Liqing with a sword, and then found the "Wisdom Classic" and killed the county lord's palace.
Fortunately, before he broke out, the county lord of Liqing withdrew his salty pig hand and said to himself: "It is worthy of being the king of divine power, and it is really strong." Hua Qian, when will you find out his details? ”
Hua Qian's voice came from a distance: "Go back to the county lord, you can find out tomorrow at the latest." ”
The county lord of Liqing nodded and did not speak, and was silent for a moment before saying: "The wizard, brother Zhan and Lian Lijun are about to arrive, so you should be extra careful during this time." In particular, Brother Zhan has been fighting with me for the inheritance of the empire, and we must not weaken our momentum in front of him. ”
Hua Qian didn't speak for some reason, the county lord of Liqing looked back at her, sighed and said: "You guessed right, the wizard, Ge Zhan and Lian Lijun have arrived, and the great head of state is about to arrive, when the time comes, you should be careful yourself, what he wants to do, I can't disobey." ”
Hua Qian's voice became very jerky, and said, "I understand, don't worry, the county lord, I will try to be careful." ”
The county lord of Liqing wanted to speak and stopped, but finally just sighed, but still didn't say anything. It's just that after leaving the palace, he instructed the palace maids who served Li Xiang to find the best doctors and let the Divine Power King recover as soon as possible.
Li Xiang lay on the bed with his eyes closed, but in fact, he was monitoring the county lord of Liqing with Tianyantong and Tianertong. When she was far away, she opened her eyes and pondered, it was actually easy for him to steal a copy of the "Book of Wisdom", he had already found it in the secret room in the bedroom of the county lord of Liqing with his heavenly eye, just find a place to take it out when there was no one in the dormitory. But because Li Xiang changed the plot and killed the colonel in advance, he couldn't go to the informant, and avoided the vicious battle of being surrounded and suppressed by the brother's army, although he saved the lives of Qibei and Xiqi, but at the same time, the wizard was still alive and well.
Wizards have some bizarre abilities, similar to spells, but more vicious. If he is allowed to live, maybe something will change. Now that he's coming to Mochizuki City, why not take this opportunity to kill him, lest the plot deviate too much and catch him off guard?
In Li Xiang's opinion, killing the wizard is just a gesture, and even killing the Grand Head, Brother Zhan, and even Lijun is not a difficult task. It's just that he still covets the witch's energy, and as long as there is still a chance to get it, he doesn't want to give up. Therefore, except for the wizard, others cannot be killed for the time being, so as not to cause chaos in the empire, the witch country has no pressure, and Lily will not give him energy.
There was nothing to say all night, and early the next morning, the palace maid found a wise doctor to re-medicate Li Xiang. But the so-called clever physician of this plane is just that the herbs used are more effective, and he didn't even see that Li Xiang's wound was almost healed. (To be continued.) )
