157 Provocation
Xuanyuan Meng's face on the sickbed was pale, his eyes were closed, and he was dying, making it hard to imagine that this was the Emperor of the Huashen Kingdom more than a year ago.
Xuanyuan Wei stepped forward and gently called "father" twice, Xuanyuan Meng's eyelids trembled twice, and then there was no more reaction.
Looking at it like this, Xuanyuan Dream really doesn't have the support of a few days.
Long Yingjie didn't see Queen Nalan Hui's figure. Although Nalan Pengfei's face showed a look of regret, Long Yingjie sensitively caught a fleeting smile in the corner of his eyes. And what I saw from Mei's undefeated and Qiuhan's faces was an impatient artificiality.
It seems that the three major families are all looking forward to the decline of the Xuanyuan Imperial Family in their hearts!
Long Yingjie sighed in his heart. However, these are all expected by Long Yingjie.
Long Yingjie glanced at Yan Niang seemingly inadvertently, and Yan Niang nodded slightly. Long Yingjie's brows furrowed.
Yan Niang's expression was to tell Long Yingjie that Emperor Xuanyuan Meng might have been poisoned.
Yan Niang was accepted as an apprentice in the Nine Dragons World by the first poison master in the Martial Qi Continent, Poison Mother-in-law, although the cultivation of using poison to detoxify is not one thousandth of that of Poison Mother-in-law, but it also has its true inheritance, which is naturally not comparable to ordinary people.
Yan Niang suspected that the emperor had been poisoned, and this matter was confirmed nine times out of ten.
If this is proven to be true, there must be a shocking conspiracy behind it!
Who, then, would dare to poison the king of a country without being detected?
Also, what kind of poison is this poison, can it still pull Xuanyuan Dream back from the brink of death?
Nalan Pengfei and others came to visit Xuanyuan Dream this time, which was just a formality. The imperial doctors of the royal family are all pill masters, and there is one who has even reached the first-level pill ancestor, who is a capable person who can refine the first-level best pill, and they are all helpless, and Nalan Pengfei and the others are even more powerless.
However, Long Yingjie intuitively believed that the purpose of Nalan Pengfei's visit was not to visit Xuanyuan Meng, but to see how many days Xuanyuan Meng could live. He should have hoped that Xuanyuan Meng would die sooner, even if there was a life-saving pill, he would not take it out.
Long Yingjie really wanted to summon his sweetheart out at this moment and let her forcibly invade the sea of divine consciousness of Nalan Pengfei and the others to see what they thought.
But he also knew that Sweetheart's cultivation was much worse than that of Nalan Pengfei and the others, and if he forcibly invaded, he would definitely be discovered by their divine sense, and Sweetheart might be harmed.
Long Yingjie finally decided to let Yan Niang find out the source of the poison first and see if it could be detoxified.
When walking out of Xuanyuan Meng's bedroom, Yan Niang whispered to Long Yingjie: "Brother Yingjie, see if you can find a way to get a little bit of the emperor's essence blood, or get his latest lock of hair and nails." ”
Long Yingjie walked out quietly, but in his mind he was thinking about who should do this.
This matter seems very simple, just ask the prince directly. However, Long Yingjie had a lot of eyes and didn't do it.
Long Yingjie thought, if Xuanyuan Meng died, who would be the most direct beneficiary? It must be Xuanyuan Wei, the heir to the throne. Although Long Yingjie did not believe that Xuanyuan Wei would poison his father, he was also one of the suspects before the real murderer was found.
Long Yingjie had an excellent impression of the crown prince, but all the interactions between the two were only when there was no struggle of interests and life and death. In other words, Long Yingjie didn't fully understand Xuanyuan Wei. He wasn't sure if Xuanyuan Wei could maintain this tranquil mind under the temptation of imperial power.
He needs to borrow time and events to observe.
Therefore, Long Yingjie didn't want to do this through Xuanyuan Wei.
Come to think of it, only Xuanyuan Lingxi is available.
Back in the main hall, Long Yingjie saw the opportunity to call Yan Niang and Lingxi aside, the three of them muttered for a while, Long Yingjie returned to Prince Xuanyuan Wei, and deliberately swirled under the noses of Nalan Pengfei and others, making Nalan Pengfei's eyes blazing, staring at Long Yingjie fiercely, eager to slap him into a meatloaf with one palm!
Yan Niang and Lingxi slipped back to the emperor's bedroom while they weren't paying attention.
Nalan Pengfei looked at Long Yingjie, a strange smile suddenly flashed in his eyes, and said to Xuanyuan Wei: "Prince, the three major families are looking forward to the peace of my Huashen Kingdom and the people, and pray for the early recovery of my emperor's dragon body, and now the square outside the palace will jointly set up an altar to pray for my emperor, let's go and pray together!"
Xuanyuan Wei looked inquiringly at Lu Kuan. Master Lu Kuan smiled and said, "Brother Pengfei's loyalty can be demonstrated!Prince, let's pray for the blessing of Huashen Kingdom and our emperor together!"
Xuanyuan Wei nodded and said, "Okay, let's go!" and looked at Long Yingjie again, "Brother Xian, please come with me!"
Long Yingjie was angry at Nalan Pengfei just now and scolded him as a "boy", and deliberately put on a show to show Nalan Pengfei, but now it is not good to always put on a score in front of the military generals of Wenchen, so as not to make too many enemies and provoke the anger of the public, so he said: "Prince please!"
Long Yingjie is the Dragon Emperor, and the Dragon Emperor of that year was higher than the emperor of a country. But the current dragon clan is in a period of decline, and it is naturally incomparable with that year, not to mention that it is still underground.
Now, his identity is a citizen of Huashen Kingdom, and he is a student of the royal training camp on the surface, so he has to take into account everyone's feelings and can't always do things righteously.
Xuanyuan Lukuan nodded secretly: "Although this young man is talented, he still takes the overall situation into account. ”
Prince Xuanyuan Wei was in front, and everyone followed closely behind and walked out of the main hall together and came to the temporary prayer altar.
Long Yingjie looked at the people of the three major families, but found a few familiar figures, and those people were also looking at him with fierce eyes.
These people are the juniors of the three major families of Nalan Xun, Mei Qiang, Mei Zhuang, Qiu Sheng, and Qiu Ming.
There was also a more imposing young man next to them, and Long Yingjie guessed that person should be Nalan Chun, the leader of the Heilan Gang. Although Long Yingjie and him have long competed in the royal training camp, they have never had the opportunity to meet each other.
Sure enough, Long Yingjie found that Nalan Xun whispered a few words to the young man, and the young man's eyes looked at him like a falcon.
Long Yingjie sneered in his heart: There are self-righteous people in this world who don't know the height of the sky and the height of the earth. Nalan Chun still claims to be a peerless genius, and it seems that he has to take the opportunity to teach him a hard lesson!
Long Yingjie also paid attention to the other people. With his sensitivity, he found that there were many existences that could be called the top masters of the Huashen Kingdom. And while they appeared to be praying, they were visibly absent-minded.
Long Yingjie is not Xuanyuan Wei, he does not have a royal secret force like the Imperial Army Shenwei to use, and he has not received any news about the movements of the three major families. However, when he saw these people in the square, he suddenly had a bad premonition:
With so many masters entering the palace powerhouse, if they have different intentions, can these martial cultivators and guards in the palace alone resist them?
He couldn't help but look at Prince Xuanyuan Wei and National Teacher Lu Kuan, and vaguely felt that they also seemed to be a little nervous.
I can think of it, they are more experienced than myself, and I will definitely think of it.
Long Yingjie was almost certain that due to Xuanyuan Meng's terminal illness, foreign forces had begun to intervene in the battle for imperial power.
However, Long Yingjie was still depressed: two of the heads of the three major families were said to be already at the peak of the ninth order of the Martial Qi Sage, and one was the peak of the eighth order of the Sage. With such a powerful existence, how could Xuanyuan Wei be so confused as to let the three of them enter the palace at the same time? If the three of them joined forces to kidnap the crown prince, apart from Xuanyuan Lukuan, there was no master in the royal family who could compete with them?
Could it be that Xuanyuan Wei had already prepared?
Long Yingjie carefully observed Xuanyuan Wei and found that he was not so calm, which showed that even if he was prepared, the chances of winning were not very good.
Xuanyuan Wei opened the "martial arts secret room" for himself without telling the royal family, and he had a big opportunity because of this, which can be regarded as a favor to himself. If Xuanyuan Wei was a victim in this fight, he should have helped him.
If it was just the three major families making trouble, they would have more cards in their hands than the royal family, which should be enough to resist their provocations.
Long Yingjie had a smile on his face: No matter who wants to make trouble, since it happened today, this idle matter is in his own hands!
Long Yingjie was thinking about things, but saw that Nalan Chun had already walked towards him.
"Long Yingjie, I heard that you are a young genius, and in order to cultivate, you have never had the opportunity to compete with you in the training camp, today we will perform for you in front of many martial arts cultivators in the Huashen Kingdom!"
Nalan Chun's words were very tactful, but there was disdain and murder in his tone.
When encountering provocation, Long Yingjie certainly would not shrink his head. On the contrary, he is the kind of person who is more motivated in the face of challenges. What's more, with Long Yingjie's current cultivation, he won't take Nalan Chun seriously at all!
"Nalan Chun, since you are competing, you have to show some real skills. But I'm afraid that I will accidentally hurt you, I think you should ask your grandfather for advice first!"
This sentence was full of ridicule and banter, and he didn't take Nalan Chun seriously at all.
Long Yingjie took the pill and deliberately concealed his true cultivation, and now the aura revealed is obviously lower than that of Nalan Chun, which makes Nalan Chun feel that Long Yingjie is arrogant and ignorant!
"Long Yingjie, I can make my own decisions. However, you must also be prepared to pay the price for your hubris!" Nalan Chun chuckled.
"Nalan Chun, you dare to come here in the palace, do you think this is in your back garden?" Xuanyuan Wei whispered, his face already showing anger.
"Prince, since Prince Nalan is so high-flying and domineering, I don't mind teaching him a lesson! Maybe if we frustrate their spirit, my emperor's illness will be cured!" Long Yingjie smiled at Xuanyuan Wei.
Long Yingjie's words made Xuanyuan Wei thoughtful.
Nalan Chun and Long Yingjie accused each other of being arrogant, which made many people present think that they were deliberately hiding their true cultivation. Some people are already ready to see the excitement.
Xuanyuan Wei had seen Long Yingjie's endless methods in Fengyun City, and knew that he had always liked to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger, so of course he would not lose. Xuanyuan Wei was worried that Long Yingjie had accidentally provoked the power behind Nalan Chun.
After all, the title of the first family of Huashen Kingdom is not something that will be called at will.
What Xuanyuan Wei didn't know was that Long Yingjie already had the idea of deliberately making things bigger.
