Chapter 55: Forces
The Boxers are a small and medium-sized gangster, Scarface is a small leader, and the dock is the jurisdiction, and they make a living by carrying goods from the big people's ships on weekdays
It's just that they never mess around, only for people who come to the capital without background and backing, since ancient times, officials and bandits are a family, even at the foot of this Son of Heaven, they also have backers in the Boxer Gang, and they are the little nephews of a soldier Shilang, although the official is not big, but it is enough to help them cover up their ears and eyes
I wasn't blind on weekdays, but today I was pecked by Yan and robbed Tao Yunqing and others
"I'll be in the capital for a while, and in the meantime, I need you to work for me and do something for me!" Tao Yunqing looked at them, her eyes narrowed slightly, and said
"It is our supreme honor to be able to serve the Immortal Chief!" Kowtow to Heguang like pounding garlic
Xiao Cai and the others also echoed: "Yes, what do the immortals command, the little ones will do their best to do it!" β
"Yes, yes!"
Tao Yunqing paused, tapped his hand twice on the table, and then said, "Then tell me all the strength of the light and darkness in the national capital first!" β
"Light and dark forces?"
"Ming's power, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, is naturally the government's final say! As for the dark one, there are more than a dozen large and small gangs, but there are three of the most powerful gangs, one is Xuanyuzhuang, it is said that the backer is Prince Cheng, one is the iron fan door, its backer is the second prince, the last one is the five-color door, and its backer is the Nine Emperors! β
"Other small gangs, like our Boxer Gang, the Heavenly Dirt Gang, ,......" Scarface reported the eyes of thirteen small gangs in a row, but Tao Yunqing didn't care much about these, their backers were all the sons and nephews of some eunuchs, and they didn't have much power, so he asked him to focus on Prince Cheng, the second prince and the ninth prince
"In this Kyoto, the most powerful ones are Prince Cheng, the second prince and the eleventh prince!"
"Wait, isn't it the Nine Emperors? Why did you insert another eleventh prince? Tao Yunqing was a little puzzled
"The strength of the Nine Emperors is not great, but they are attached to the Eleventh Prince and are the backers of the Five Colors Gate!" Xiao Cai interjected
Tao Yunqing nodded, motioning for Scarface to continue
"Prince Cheng is the younger brother of the current emperor's mother, the most powerful, and has a lot of protΓ©gΓ©s, he not only has a good reputation in the court, but also is deeply loved among the people! But sir, you may not know that this kind of person is often very ambitious, so when today's son often restricts him, other princes and grandsons regard him as a mortal enemy! β
"And the eleventh prince is the sister-in-law of the current queen, this person has the support of the queen's faction, and his full strength is also great, although the nine princes are not the same mother as him, but they are dedicated to competing for the throne, once the eleventh prince was drunk and said: Only the ninth brother is my confidant!"
"The second prince is also an ambitious person, he is not obvious, but he has been wooing the ministers of Zaifu, and it is rumored that if the emperor dies, only he can compete with the eleventh prince for the throne!"
"So what do you think?" Tao Yunqing suddenly asked, "Who do you think these people can be emperors?" β
"This ...... The villain is a slender man, where can he dare to assert the emperor's affairs! Scarface said with some trepidation
"It's okay, I'll just ask, what do you think!"
"This ...... The villain thinks that Prince Cheng has the greatest chance, he is in the prime of life, as soon as the old emperor dies, he is bound to take action, and other princes, how can they be the opponents of this old fox! β
"Can the villain give me his opinion?" Xiao Cai suddenly said on the side
"You say!"
"The villain thinks that Prince Cheng certainly has some strength, but his approach has already caused the emperor's dissatisfaction, and the old emperor may have to clear this obstacle for his son before he dies, after all, the royal family has no family affection!"
"In my opinion, the throne will eventually fall on the side of the eleventh prince!"
Tao Yunqing smiled, didn't speak, muttered for a long time, and said, "Are there any strange people in the national capital recently?" β
"Strange people?"
"Well, you've lived in this country for so long, have you ever seen someone like me?"
"Immortal Chief means an immortal like you?"
Tao Yunqing nodded
Yu Heguang and Xiao Cai shook their heads at the same time: "Immortal Chief, if I hadn't met you today, we wouldn't have known that there are really immortal cultivators in this world, although I have heard that there are immortal cultivators before, but I have never seen them, let alone in this national capital!" β
Tao Yunqing nodded, from their mouths he already knew the news he wanted
In their cognition, there were no immortal cultivators in the country, but Tao Yunqing knew that it was because they were all mortals that they couldn't touch them
In the huge capital of the country, why is there no immortal cultivator!
According to He Miaoyu, there are many sects in the capital that have joined the WTO, but most of them will not be higher than the foundation building period
"Alright, you can go!" Tao Yunqing said
"That, Immortal Chief, what's on us...?" Scarface said quickly, he didn't know what it was, but guessed it was a deadly poison
Tao Yunqing took out a stack of talismans, on which were painted with turquoise runes
"Take it back, burn it and drink it!"
The talisman is not a high-level talisman, and it only needs the blood of the blue-blooded toad to solve it, and the talisman given by Tao Yunqing is drawn by the blood of the blue-blooded toad, which has no effect, but the solution of the talisman is enough
The talisman is only effective for mortals, and a little mana can be ignored if the mental power is good
The two of them retreated happily as if they had received a treasure
Tao Yunqing sat on the chair and pondered for a long time before going to rest
In the early morning of the next day, Tao Yunqing set off early and wandered around Kyoto, where there was a teahouse, he was bound to order a pot of tea and sit for a while
With his divine sense, he had heard a lot of information about the forces, but the immortal cultivators had not encountered a single one
When he returned to the inn in the evening, He Miaoyu and his apprentices had been waiting for him for a long time
"When are we going to the palace?" He Miaoyu opened her mouth and asked, "My son has been waiting for a long time, you have to stay here first!" β
A hint of surprise appeared in the depths of Tao Yunqing's pupils, but he quickly calmed down, and said unhurriedly: "We'll go to the second prince tomorrow, don't be in a hurry now!" β
"The Demon Dao invaded the palace, I found out the last time I saw him, this thing is true, it's just because of the other party's cultivation, I didn't startle the snake, and now my son is in danger, as a mother, how can I not be in a hurry?"
"We are looking for your Immortal Sect for help, not to watch you listen to books and watch dramas for a day!"
He Miaoyu said a little anxiously
"You can't cultivate enough to be in the middle stage of foundation building, how can you have such a high divine sense and even probe what I do?" Tao Yunqing could no longer calm the doubts in her heart and asked
When she mentioned the second prince just now, she didn't hide it, she didn't say anything about her son to Tao Yunqing, the only thing was that Lu Xueqi said that night, so she listened to Tao Yunqing and the two at the time, but Tao Yunqing didn't feel the fluctuation of her divine consciousness at that time, which shows that her divine sense is at least twice as high as him, and today in Kyoto, Tao Yunqing has kept a radius of 100 meters and no one is tracking her, but he told him to break his whereabouts, which makes him not surprised, this is so detailed in the sea of people to explore a person's whereabouts, At least it is also the divine consciousness of the foundation building, which is much better than that of the false Dan monks
"It's my business! I just want to ask you, when will we come to the palace to see my son? He Miaoyu asked
Tao Yunqing's eyes rolled on her, and said, "Didn't you go like this?" We have to ask him to arrange an identity for us, although the palace is big, but a few more people will always be noticed by someone who cares, and then it will be more than you and me who will be in danger! β
"This is not difficult, I will inform Qian'er immediately now, and he will arrange it for us!"
The two of them got a definite answer, and then they went back to the room, for Tao Yunqing, this He Miaoyu's divine sense is unimaginable, but she is only in the middle stage of foundation building, and she has such a high divine sense, but why? If he could probe this secret, he would have another kind of cultivation capital in the future
But this is always her privacy, and it may not be easy to get it
That night, I don't know what method He Miaoyu used to deliver the message, and the people of the second prince lined up
A few guards with knives, the leader is a fat head and big ears, and he is also a cut taller than others, walking tiger and tiger, Tao Yunqing glanced at him with the Qingming technique, and found that he was actually a man who practiced horizontally, he was also equivalent to the physical cultivation of the cultivation realm, but the practice of cultivation was too rubbish, and it all relied on a breath of true qi, and it would disperse as soon as it was beaten, in other words, he couldn't catch Tao Yunqing's punch
"Greetings!" Several swordsmen knelt on one knee and saluted respectfully
"No need to be polite, I'm not a mother anymore!" He Miaoyu smiled bitterly and asked, "What did Qian'er say over there?" β
"His Royal Highness said that when my mother goes home, she doesn't have to hide it, and she must welcome her back with the gift of a concubine!" The tall man said
"This ......" He Miaoyu glanced at Tao Yunqing, not knowing what to do
Tao Yunqing nodded at him
Only then did she pick up the tall man who was kneeling on one knee and said, "If that person knew, wouldn't he come?" β
"This ...... The palace is full of eyeliner, and as for His Majesty, if he can't pass by, his subordinates can't guess the holy will! The tall man hesitated and said
He Miaoyu thought for a while before saying, "This is my apprentice Lu Xueqi, and this is the Taoyun Qing Dao Master of the Immortal Sect, how did they arrange it?" β
"Tao Dao Chang will enter the palace as a staff member, as for Miss Lu, she may have to be wronged and enter the palace as a maid!"
Tao Yunqing nodded
So early the next morning, a sedan chair carried by eight people at the door brought them into the palace
In the palace, there are many buildings everywhere, and in a house with three floors inside and three floors outside, a young man with a face like a crown of jade is pacing in the living room, and the dancing singers inside have already been driven out by him
"Your Highness, the mother has arrived!"
"Quick, take me to her!"
So Tao Yunqing saw a picture of the deep love between mother and son, and they chatted for a long time before they remembered what they wanted to do
"This is the Peach Road Chief! Look up for a long time, look up for a long time! The second prince said to Tao Yunqing
Tao Yunqing took a good look at the other party
His face is like a crown of jade, his appearance is handsome, his sword eyebrows are horizontal and vertical with the power of not being angry, he wears a purple and gold crown, and he wears a gorgeous costume on his body, and he looks tall and big, very spiritual, and can be said to be the dream lover of thousands of girls
Compared with him, Tao Yunqing is a very stumbling type of person
"I have long heard that the second prince is handsome and extraordinary, and when I see it today, it is really extraordinary!" Tao Yunqing's praise can be regarded as out of the bottom of her heart, appearance does not determine a person's character, but a good-looking appearance generally makes people very comfortable
The second prince is like this, he is good-looking, and his temper seems to be quite gentle, just like the warm sun in early winter, which makes people unconsciously approach
"The Taoist chief praised it!" The second prince greeted him and invited the three of them into the mansion to talk in detail
The two of them each have a seat, He Miaoyu needless to say, sitting next to the second prince Li Chengqian, followed by Tao Yunqing, then Lu Xueqi, and then his henchman, he has already prepared the wine, knowing that his mother does not like fireworks in the world, he specially prepared several spiritual fruits for her, there can be this thing among mortals, I think he should have spent a lot of effort, not to mention how this person is, this filial piety is worthy of praise
