Chapter 11: Once you enter the imperial city, it is as deep as the sea, and there are few family contacts for ten years

On the third day of the primary election, Dongfang Changqin, Yu Wazi, and Ji Yunquan rushed to the General's Mansion early in the morning. In Jiangcheng, there are two generals' mansions, one is Zhong Shengtian's Qinglongwei General's Mansion; The other is Wei Fu's Guzhou Wei General's Mansion.

Of course, if it is called the General's Mansion without explanation, it is generally Zhong Shengtian's mansion. There is no way, Zhong Shengtian's status in Donghao is even higher than that of Emperor Dongfang Yunqi. As for the reason, there are two reasons:

First, Qinglongwei is Donghao's most powerful army.

Second, Zhong Shengtian is the only nine-rank pure spear immortal in Zuxing, not only has his own strength reached the top, but also guards the border all year round, and his prestige is extremely high.

It can be said that if Zhong Shengtian wants to rebel, then Dongfang Yunqi has no way at all. However, Zhong Shengtian has no reason to do the opposite. First, it's not necessary, and second, it's not necessary.

It is precisely because of the particularity of Zhong Shengtian's status that his Qinglongwei General's Mansion was built in the imperial city, and the imperial city is where the emperor and the imperial family live.

Having said that, the imperial city is naturally guarded by the Qinglong internal guard. If you want to enter and exit, you must either be summoned by the emperor, or you must have a relevant identity waist card. Dongfang Changqin can handle this, after all, he is also a prince!

However, the guards of the Imperial City still checked Yu Wazi and Ji Yunquan. That is, report the name, identity, and place of origin, and compare the files uploaded by each state and county. If it is compliant, it will be registered and released. Otherwise, either access is blocked; Either arrest on the spot and thoroughly check your identity.

The reason why it is so strict is, in the final analysis, because the Oriental Changqin has fallen out of favor. There is no way, Dongfang Yunqi's throne was taken from Dongfang Yunying, and Dongfang Changqin had a close relationship with Dongfang Yunying.

After about half a cup of tea, the guards finished the verification and issued a pass certificate for Yu Wazi and Ji Yunquan. Of course, the role of the pass certificate is not only the pass, but also the effect of positioning.

After that, the three of them walked all the way, and after passing through several city gates, they finally arrived at the Qinglongwei General's Mansion. In this regard, Ji Yunquan couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Once you enter the imperial city, it is as deep as the sea, and there has been little family affection for ten years. ”

However, the embarrassing thing was that as soon as he finished saying this, he saw that there were people flying with dragons flying over the imperial city. Moreover, none of the guards of the imperial city stopped them, and they even hurriedly avoided them, as if they were hiding from the plague.

Yu Wazi was curious, so she asked, "Your Highness, is that a member of the royal family?" ”

Dongfang Changqin shook his head slightly, and said with a wry smile: "Even if you are a member of the royal family, you don't dare to be so presumptuous!" ”

As he spoke, the man flew over. When she saw Dongfang Changqin and Yu Wazi and the others below, she asked, "Why are you here?" ”

Yu Wazi sighed in her heart, the power of this Zhong family is really terrifying!

I didn't think that anyone who dared to fly in the imperial city was Zhong Haoqing. There is no way, most of the guards of the imperial city are the Qinglong internal guards, and the commander of the Qinglong internal guards is Zhong Guoli.

Because the father and daughter have been separated for thousands of years, Zhong Guoli has not fulfilled his responsibilities as a father, and he feels guilty, so he naturally indulges his daughter. As for Dongfang Yunqi, it is impossible to blame the Zhong family for such a trivial matter.

Having said that, Dongfang Changqin looked at Zhong Haoqing and said with a smile: "We are here to visit the Grand Commander." ”

Zhong Haoqing was happy in his heart, and deliberately stopped: "My father is not here, you can go back!" ”

Ji Yunquan was unhappy in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it, so he could only sulk vigorously. It's a fish baby, and the set almost said: "When the old people meet, don't you know that we go to the house to have a cup of tea?" ”

"Well, that's how people should meet. But who am I and you? ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a man's voice from inside the house. "Qing'er, don't mess around, and don't invite guests into the house?"

After Zhong Haoqing heard this, he immediately replied: "You are embarrassed to speak, you were kicked out by someone, and you didn't even let go of a fart, so you knew to give orders to me." ”

"What nonsense are you talking about, that's what I don't want to do myself, and it has nothing to do with others."

"Really? Then why did the three vice presidents of the Meizhou branch all leave? Could it be that you don't want to do it? After speaking, he looked at the fish baby again, and said with a smile, "You have good skills, can you afford to accept three seven products at once?" ”

Dongfang Changqin was shocked, looked at the fish baby, and asked, "Is this serious?" ”

Yu Wazi said helplessly: "I can't help it!" Those three want to find a place to stay, I can't get rid of them all, right? ”

"What the hell is going on with the Meizhou Branch?"

Yu Wazi sighed: "The new dean is promoting newcomers aggressively, intending to build a young academy. In this way, it naturally caused dissatisfaction among the old people. ”

After Dongfang Changqin heard this, he finally understood why his father would rather have chaos in Meizhou than give Dongfang Qingtang power. There is no way, after losing the checks and balances, Dongfang Yunruo's power is too great. In addition, Dongfang Yunyan, the pastor of Meizhou Prefecture, is Dongfang Yunruo's own brother, so he has no scruples.

However, is this really the case?

Dongfang Changqin looked at Zhong Haoqing above, and didn't bend around, and asked directly, "Is Brother Lin's disappearance related to you?" ”

Zhong Haoqing jumped off the back of the pterosaur, looked at Dongfang Changqin, and played with a face: "It's really interesting!" Yesterday, the eldest prince, the second prince, and Jiang Duo all came to me. Although it was not stated on the surface, it was actually to inquire about the whereabouts of the dead bald man. Now, the three princes are here again. I would like to ask you, which eye of yours saw that I had taken the dead bald man? ”

Dongfang Changqin smiled and explained: "According to General Shen Hongming Shen of the East Gate, when Brother Lin entered the city, you entered the city first, and Ling Guanyu entered the city one step later. Ling Guanyu told me last night that you had something to do with Brother Lin's disappearance. Therefore, I came to inquire early in the morning. ”

Before Zhong Haoqing could answer, he saw Zhong Haotian walk out, and said with a displeased expression: "Your Highness really suspects that my Zhong family has detained Lin Man'er?" ”

After Dongfang Changqin bowed slightly, he said unhurriedly: "I definitely didn't mean that, I just came here to inquire after hearing the news." ”

Zhong Haotian snorted and said coldly: "It's just a question." His Highness cares so much about Lin Man'er, doesn't he know that he has entered the Soul Valve Realm? Hehe... To be honest, even I wasn't sure I could take him down quietly. In this way, in this Jiang City, in addition to the power of the eighth and ninth grades, who else can do it? ”

Dongfang Changqin didn't know Lin Man'er's current situation, and turned his head to look at the fish baby. Yu Wazi sighed and explained: "I don't know what kind of cultivation Brother Man'er is now, but a hundred years ago, he kissed the Red Sun Sect and ended his grudge with the Red Flame Fairy. This is also the reason why I asked you last night about the masters above the seventh grade in Jiang Cheng. ”

After hearing this, Dongfang Changqin was extremely shocked and said: "In five hundred years, has he reached this point?" ”

Zhong Haoqing pointed to the pterosaur that stayed in the sky and said, "If it weren't for that, with my seventh-order pterosaur, I wouldn't have suffered a loss when I blocked him outside the city." ”

Dongfang Changqin said with a sad face: "But the problem is, there are only a few masters above the seventh grade, who will detain him?" ”

The corners of Zhong Haotian's mouth raised, and he said slowly: "Ku Shi, Gu Teng, Hongtong Old Man, Jiang Liqun, Wei Fu, Li Shuo, and Dou Ling are all eight grades, I don't know which one Your Highness thinks it will be?" ”

Before Dongfang Changqin could answer, he heard Ji Yunquan say a little deadly: "The two commanders of the Qinglong Internal Guard and the Qinglong Female Guard are also eight ranks. ”

Interestingly, Nihuang actually took the initiative to speak out. "Your Highness, our husband and wife were both in the palace that day, and Li Shuo can testify to this."

After Dongfang Changqin heard this, he bowed to the general's mansion, and then left with Yu Wazi and Ji Yunquan. Clearly, he had grasped the hint of the Phoenix.

After the three of them left, Nihuang walked out, looked at her daughter, and asked with a serious expression, "Qing'er, do you really not know Lin Man'er's whereabouts?" ”

Zhong Haoqing smiled, ran to his mother's side, hugged her arm, and said coquettishly: "Mother, don't worry about this matter." Let that dead bald man suffer a little more, who let him bully me here. ”

Nihuang shook his head and sighed, "Qing'er, this is the third day. If Lin Man'er doesn't show up, then he will be disqualified. When the time comes, whether the stunning sword can stay in our Donghao, it is difficult to say. ”

"What does my mother mean that as long as the dead bald man participates, he will definitely be able to obtain the stunning sword?"

"At least 90% sure."

"Huh? Nine titles? What about the remaining 10%? ”

"Then it depends on the results of the primaries on the third day. After all, if we can have hidden geniuses like Lin Zhongpu and Long Tu in Donghao, then other royal families are also possible. ”

Zhong Haoqing smiled and replied: "Mother, you are confused, the registration for the primary election has ended, even if others want to participate, then Lord Jiang will not give them a chance." ”

"It's not that you're confused, it's that you overestimated the power of Changle Fang. The seventeen states of the Shenzhou Continent, even the major royal families still can't fully understand it, let alone a single gambling house. Otherwise, how could Lin Zhongpu and Long Tu suddenly appear? ”

Zhong Haoqing thought about it for a while, but still told what happened that day. Actually, Nihuang has basically guessed it, otherwise it wouldn't have hinted at Dongfang Changqin.

——————————

Three days ago, Lin Man'er flew all the way into the city with Bai Zhi, and the target was naturally the Honka Inn where the fish baby lived. However, during his flight, he was stopped by patrolmen. No way, not everyone knows him.

I saw the captain of the patrol guard drive forward and asked, "Hey boy, which country are you from, dare to be presumptuous in Jiangcheng?" Is there a little bit of courtesy? ”

Lin Man'er snorted, and said with a haughty expression: "Presumptuous requires capital, I'm sorry, I just have this capital." ”

When the captain of the patrol heard this, he immediately reprimanded: "Bastard! Today you will be captured and imprisoned. I'd like to see where your capital comes from. ”

Lin Man'er looked up to the sky and smiled, urging his soul thoughts to strike first. I saw that in a moment's time, more than a dozen patrolmen and their captains were pressed to the ground at the same time, unable to move.

Bai Zhi was afraid that things would make a big fuss, so she hurriedly dissuaded: "Don't mess around, this is the national capital of Donghao." ”

Lin Man'er said disapprerovingly: "What are you afraid of, with my current strength, except for the two old things Zhong Guoli and Nihuang, no one in this Jiang Cheng can really take me." ”

"Alright, I know you're strong, but we really don't need to make trouble for ourselves. Moreover, they are responsible for patrolling, and it is also their duty to stop us. You're out of breath now, so let them go! ”

Lin Man'er nodded, and withdrew the telekinesis that oppressed the patrols. Then, he stared at the captain of the city guard: "I will send you a word, keep your eyes open in the future, don't mess with people who shouldn't be messed with." After speaking, he took Bai Zhi's wrist and left in a dashing manner.

However, this chic only lasted a dozen steps before it became embarrassed. There's no way, this is Jiang Cheng, it's really not a place where you can go wild at will. Because, Jiang Cheng has a top-level city protection array.

Although the captain of the patrol is not too high, he has the right to mobilize the city protection array. Just imagine, even the Nine Rank Immortal Monarch can resist the city protection array, how can it not be able to suppress a Lin Man'er.

I saw that the captain of the patrol was panting, and there was an extra token in his hand. And this token is the key to his mobilization formation. At that moment, he put away the token and ordered his subordinates to put Lin Man'er and Bai Zhi in Jiangcheng Prison. He wanted to see what kind of capital such an arrogant guy had!

Of course, the city protection array is powerful, but it is impossible for Lin Man'er not to even have a chance to resist. The reason why this is the case is naturally that there are masters secretly fueling the trouble.

Coincidentally, Zhong Haoqing had resentment in his heart, so he hid his breath, intending to find out Lin Man'er's whereabouts, so as to wait for an opportunity to retaliate. It was precisely because of her careful thinking that she discovered the traces of that master.

What's even more coincidental is that Ling Guanyu, who entered the city later, found Zhong Haoqing's figure again, and mistakenly thought that she had detained Lin Man'er. In fact, the real mastermind behind the scenes has long since left.

——————————

After listening to her daughter's story, Nihuang did not rescue Lin Man'er, nor did she arrest the mastermind behind the scenes, but took Zhong Haotian and Zhong Haoqing to the competition ground of the primary election. The reason why this is so is naturally because the other party's identity is special, and the evidence of the other party is insufficient.

There was no way, the other party acted cautiously and used the city protection array to deal with Lin Man'er. In this way, even if he is held responsible, the most he will do is deal with the patrol captain. But the problem is that the captain of the patrol sticks to his duty and captures according to the law, and there is nothing wrong with him.

Of course, Nihuang can rely on the power of the Zhong family to forcibly deal with the mastermind behind the scenes. But the problem is that the eight-rank master who secretly fueled the troubles is not the real person behind the scenes.

Therefore, once this matter becomes a big problem, it will inevitably implicate the royal family and damage the country's reputation. Therefore, the patrol captain can only take the blame.

Although Zhong Haoqing is stubborn, he also understands the stakes. This is one of the reasons why she has been reluctant to tell the truth. As for the second reason, it is natural that Lin Man'er wants to suffer more.

——————————

Three days ago, in Jiangcheng's prison, Lin Man'er slowly opened his eyes and found that he had received special treatment. That is, the center of the eyebrows is attached to the soul talisman, the dantian is attached to the lock spirit talisman, and the body is tied with a fairy rope to a human-shaped zongzi.

Not only that, but the cell where he was kept was specially built. Among them, there is not only the blessing of the formation, but also the care of the divine pet.

Lin Man'er shook his head in a daze, and found that Bai Zhi was locked up in the cell on his left. In contrast, the restraints on Bai Zhi's body were much looser, just a lock spirit talisman.

Seeing that Bai Zhi was fine, Lin Man'er was also much relieved, and was just about to shout, when he heard a sound from the cell on the right. Lin Man'er looked at it and found that there was also a bald man inside. The bald man, by contrast, was thinner and haggard, and had a rivalry with the starving ghost.

Lin Man'er just wanted to ask the other party where he was, but the other party suddenly turned his head and gave him a fierce look. Lin Man'er was happy in her heart, and also responded to the other party with fierce eyes.

When the thin and bald man saw this, he suddenly laughed. Lin Man'er saw the other party laughing, and he laughed too. In this way, the two of you smirked with me, which actually attracted the favor of the guards.

Lin Man'er looked at the divine pet and found that it was shaped like a tiger and had the heads of two wild wolves. Close your eyes and wonder what kind of thing it is. It's a pity that in his knowledge reserve, there are no such monsters.

At that moment, he shouted and asked, "Hey, did you look like a ghost from your father or your mother?" ”

The two-headed tiger beast seemed to understand what Lin Man'er meant, and both heads stared at Lin Man'er viciously. Lin Man'er glanced at it and said with disgust: "I have grown into such a virtuous person, are you still afraid of what people say?" ”

The two-headed tiger beast roared and issued a warning to Lin Man'er. Lin Man'er went back, with a look like you would come in and get me. However, embarrassingly, the two-headed tiger beast actually went in, and passed through the prison without any obstacles.

Seeing the two-headed tiger beast approaching Lin Man'er step by step, the thin bald man on his right hand suddenly emitted a black qi and blocked in front of Lin Man'er. The two-headed tiger beast seemed to be disgusted by this black qi, and after a few low roars, chose to leave.

Lin Man'er chuckled, looked at the thin and bald man who helped him out of the siege, and praised: "Brother, you are not bad at this corpse!" ”

After hearing this, the thin and bald man looked shocked and asked, "You also understand corpse qi?" ”

Lin Man'er said with an arrogant expression: "Isn't it just corpse gas, I've seen a lot." Moreover, I also know that you are a ghost cultivator. ”

The thin and bald man squinted slightly, and a cloud of corpse qi gathered in his palm. After Lin Man'er saw it, his face changed, and he sneered: "The patrol guards who caught you in are really a bunch of stupid birds, and they actually used the spirit lock talisman on the ghost cultivator. Don't you know that ghost cultivation doesn't rely on aura at all. ”

The thin and bald man withdrew his corpse qi, and said in Lin Man'er's tone: "The patrol who caught you in is really a group of stupid birds, and they didn't even seal your mouth!" ”

Lin Man'er was stunned for a moment, and then laughed and said, "My brother is so interesting, I like it." ”

The thin and bald man said disapprerovingly: "No one likes a ghost cultivator. ”

Lin Man'er nodded slightly and said, "This is also true, the cultivation method of ghost cultivation is indeed disgusting. But what I like is your character. ”

"Oh, then you're disgusting, you can like the character of a ghost cultivator."

Lin Man'er was not angry, and after glancing for a week, he said, "The formation here is quite powerful, and I am afraid that you will not be able to escape with your cultivation." ”

The thin and bald man snorted, and said with a haughty expression: "I can even escape from Da Luo Mansion, let alone here." ”

As soon as Lin Man'er heard Da Luo Mansion, three people suddenly appeared in his mind. Namely, Jin Sanpang, Ji Yunquan and Wen Yuan. These three people are all slightly related to Da Luo Mansion, and in Jin Sanpang's original "last words", he also asked him to go to Da Luo Mansion to report the funeral. Even, in Ji Yunquan's mouth, he also learned that there was a female array immortal named Jin Youyi.

At that moment, he was curious: "You are a ghost cultivator, what are you going to do in Da Luo Mansion?" ”

The thin and bald man asked rhetorically: "That's right, I'm a ghost cultivator, what can I do when I go to Daluo Mansion?" ”

"Uh...... It can't be stealing corpses, right? Lin Man'er pouted.

"Uh...... Can't I steal a corpse? ”

"Uh...... It's not that it's impossible, it's just a little lacking in morality. ”

"Huh...... You're really funny, which of the ghost cultivators in this world is virtuous? ”

"Just because others don't have it doesn't mean you don't! Take a step back, you don't have it now, but you can have it later! ”

The thin and bald man glanced at Lin Man'er, and asked rhetorically, "I don't steal corpses, how can I practice?" Is it difficult to kill the living? What's more, when a person dies, I just receive his corpse qi and will not destroy his corpse. ”

After hearing this, Lin Man'er touched his chin and thought, "Well, it makes sense." After a pause, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration and said excitedly, "I know a place where there is enough corpse qi that can fully satisfy your cultivation. ”

The thin and bald man snorted and said disdainfully: "Do you want me to go to Wushan to die?" Do you think I'm that stupid? ”

"No, I'm talking about another place."

The thin and bald man was shocked, and asked, "What is it, why haven't I been there?" ”

Lin Man'er rolled around, his head pressed to the prison bar, and said mysteriously: "The place I said is in Meizhou, if you want to go, you need me to lead the way." ”

After hearing this, the lean bald man went back with a dull face: "Is it?" Then tell us about your conditions! ”

Lin Man'er thought for a while, and there seemed to be nothing to do with ghost cultivation, so he shook his head vigorously. The thin and bald man was stunned for a moment, and then like a child who had been despised, he quickly got up and explained: "With my current cultivation, it is enough to match the six-rank immortal monarch. And, if what thou hast said is true, I will take thee out. ”

Lin Man'er smiled and said confidently: "It's not that I brag with you, although I have so many restraints on my body, as long as I want to go out, I can't be trapped here at all." ”

After hearing this, the thin and bald man said with disdain: "Oh? If you have such a skill, why don't you run away? Could it be that you are afraid that I will report the news? ”

"Hey...... I'm not afraid of you telling me. And I didn't have to run out on my own. Wait and see! In a few days, someone will pick me up. When the time comes, there will be no thousands of green mangs, and they don't want me to leave. ”

The thin and bald man was shocked when he heard this, and asked curiously: "Who are you?" ”

Lin Man'er went back, looked at the array flag suspended on the top of the prison, and said with a sly smile: "You will naturally know when the time comes." ”

The thin and bald man replied casually, then clapped his hands, turned into a cloud of black gas and left Jiang Cheng's prison. Obviously, he didn't exaggerate before, he could even escape from Da Luo Mansion, let alone Jiang Cheng's prison.

Interestingly, when Lin Man'er saw that the thin and bald man was so arrogant, he shouted: "Come on! Someone escaped from prison. ”

As a result, the thin and bald man was captured by the warden himself. And, under the guidance of Lin Man'er, he completely cut off his hope of escaping from prison. The thin and bald man was annoyed, but at the same time he guessed the other party's intentions. He wanted to see how this guy was going to escape.
