Chapter 164: Heart-to-heart negotiation

Yuelai Inn is full of people, there are many rights and wrongs, and all the sects and factions of the rivers and lakes have gathered in the capital one after another, just waiting for the Xingqi Pavilion to release the announcement of the opening of the secret realm. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 ο½‰ο½Žfo

This time, Xingqi Pavilion spent a lot of publicity costs, and successfully attracted all kinds of sects from the Xingqi Continent and the Shangwu Continent to participate, which was bound to crack the mystery of the secret realm.

Jiang Ling had assumed the name Lin Jiang at this time, and he was no longer the wild boy who had been chased and killed by the Five Great Dao Sect because of the outbreak of the Supreme Yang Body, but a contestant representing the Martial God Academy.

However, after all, he was familiar, and he didn't want to be recognized by the Desert Blue Wolf or the white-bearded Yaochen of the Medicine King Valley before he entered the secret realm, causing some unnecessary trouble.

He said that in the future, he would definitely make the Five Great Dao Sect pay the price for the decision of the day, but at this time, Jiang Lingcai was still very dangerous in the face of the wolf that was already in the advanced realm.

In order to avoid being recognized before the secret realm was opened, Jiang Ling left the Yuelai Inn directly and went to the VIP building where Princess Ling Yao lived.

It just so happened that Princess Ling Yao was anxious, worried about whether Jiang Ling had changed her mind or changed her mind, so she sent someone to send Jiang Ling a handwritten letter and asked Jiang Ling to meet her.

Jiang Ling had already guessed why Princess Ling Yao was worried when he walked on the road, in fact, he was also a little worried, the situation in the capital was becoming more and more chaotic.

There is news from the royal family that the old monarch of Chu is terminally ill and dying, and it is estimated that there is not much time left, and there are only three princes who can inherit the throne, the eldest prince Chu Tianhuai was born disabled, born with waste materials, unable to cultivate spirits, and is impossible to be qualified to inherit the throne, the second prince Chu Tianba, has good talents, is very scheming, and the magnates in the capital have the loudest voice for him, the third prince Chu Tianyu belongs to the concubine, has a cold personality, quite a kingly atmosphere, and is also very talented in spiritual cultivation, although he does not get the support of the powerful, but the elders of the Chu clan are very optimistic about Chu Tianyu。

It was precisely because of this that Hongxue of the Desperate Pavilion imprisoned Chu Tianyu to avoid being assassinated by the ruthless second prince Chu Tianba.

The situation in the capital is unstable, Ling Yao also saw this, and was very worried in her heart, according to the etiquette, she was going to marry the old monarch and complete the peace, if the old monarch died, Ling Yao could not escape the fate of being buried alive.

Ling Yao didn't want to marry the old monarch or sit and wait for death, so she hastened to urge Jiang Ling to help her escape from the royal family of Chu and live a life of a wandering chivalrous woman.

When Jiang Ling came to the capital, he learned that his good brother Chu Tianyu was actually the third prince of Chu State, and he felt incredible but reasonable.

To be honest, he also sympathized with Chu Tianyu and Chu Tianyu's life experience, the prince who came out of the concubine not only did not get the support of the powerful but also worried that other princes would be framed, so he had no choice but to stay away from the capital and go to the remote Dragon Slaying Town to avoid trouble.

Jiang Ling and Chu Tianyu have not been together for a long time, but he can see that Chu Tianyu is by no means a person who kills innocents indiscriminately and does not know how to be compassionate.

The VIP building belongs to the place where the royal dignitaries of various countries visit the Chu State to live temporarily, and it is funded and built by the Nangong family, and the security of the natural guard VIP building is also entrusted to the Nangong family.

The Nangong family is very powerful, not only owns many shops in the capital, has huge assets, but also has been an official for generations, deep-rooted, and even the prime minister is from the Nangong family.

It can be said that except for the royal family of Chu in the capital, there is no family that can compare with the Nangong family, and the Nangong family is very powerful and can often influence the direction of the court's opinions.

Nangong Ping and Nangong Ping's prime minister's father, Nangong Zhengde, both supported the second prince Chu Tianba to inherit the throne.

The VIP building is magnificent, glazed and golden, not an ordinary mansion can match, there are heavy soldiers and spiritual cultivators inside and outside, and it is not easy for even a fly to fly in to ensure the safety of Princess Ling Yao.

The guard stopped Jiang Ling and asked, "Show me your ID!"

Jiang Ling was stunned for a moment, and thought to himself, "Didn't Princess Ling Yao summon me?

He looked for it, took out the token of the Xiaocai General given by the Yue King of the Southern Spirit Domain, and said, "Is this it?"

When the guards saw Jiang Ling holding the token of the Xiaocai General, they were immediately surprised, wondering how a sixteen-year-old boy could be named the Xiaocai General by the King of Yue.

When these guards were hesitating to let them go or not, they saw Nangong Ping, who was dressed in silk and satin, and was full of smiles, walked over with a feather fan and said with a smile: "Isn't this Lin Jiang, a genius boy from the Martial God Academy, are you going to see Princess Ling Yao?"

When Jiang Ling saw Nangong Ping, he thought, "This guy is here, maybe you can be accommodating." ”

He smiled and said: "It turned out to be Brother Nangong, Princess Ling Yao left her hometown and married away from Chu State, it is estimated that she misses her hometown, and she is looking for me to catch up with the old days and relieve her boredom, but these uninformed guards will not let me in." ”

When Nangong Ping heard this, he pretended to be angry and scolded at those guards: "This is the Xiaocai General of the Southern Spirit Domain, keep your eyes open, don't make such a low-level mistake in the future, you go down!"

The guards looked at each other and comprehended what Nangong Ping meant, but they still didn't believe that a mere sixteen-year-old boy would actually be the general of the Southern Spirit Domain, it was incredible.

Jiang Ling clenched his fists and thanked him: "Thank you, Brother Nangong, in the future, if you can use my help, just open your mouth, Lin Jiang will do his best." ”

Nangong Ping shook the feather fan, fanned the cool breeze, and said happily: "General Xiaocai, is this a promise to give favors to your subordinates? If I accept it, you will owe me two favors." ”

"Two favors?" Jiang Ling looked at Nangong Ping with some puzzlement, and really couldn't think of any favors owed to Nangong Ping.

Nangong Ping said with a smile: "The day before yesterday, General Xiaocai moved his muscles and bones and smashed Nangong Gambling House to pieces, causing me heavy losses, isn't this a favor?"

Nangong Gambling House was smashed, Nangong Ping learned about the situation from the guards of the gambling house, and learned that Lin Jiang and the butcher of the Martial God Temple made a bet with Chen Pi Asan, and it was only after avoiding the pursuit of the man in black that it caused a riot.

The gambling house was smashed, and the lost money was not a matter for Nangong Ping, but Nangong Ping admired this young man with good strength and extraordinary talent, and he pondered that if the Martial God Academy represented by the young man was pulled into his camp, it would be very beneficial for the second prince Chu Tianba to inherit the throne.

Therefore, Nangong Pingcai did not care about the troubles of the Martial God Academy, but on the contrary, he also sent a large amount of property to envelop the Martial God Academy.

Jiang Ling wanted to go in to see Ling Yao, and forgot about the smashing of Nangong Casino, hearing Nangong Ping say this, Jiang Ling was a little embarrassed, and nodded: "Yes, two favors." ”

Nangong Ping smiled and said: "The Nangong family doesn't need help for the time being, they just want to make friends with the Martial God Academy, and I hope that General Xiaoqi will go back and say some good things about the Nangong family to the two elders of the Martial God Academy, and Nangong Ping will be satisfied." ”

Jiang Ling thought about it, didn't he just want to make friends with the Martial God Academy? It just so happened that the Martial God Academy was weak in the capital. More friends, less trouble, why not, although Nangong Ping's reputation is not very good, but as long as it doesn't get in the way, it doesn't hurt to make friends.

Jiang Ling agreed apologetically: "It will definitely be done." ”

Nangong Ping waved his hand, pointed to a particularly chic building, and said, "That's where Princess Ling Yao lives, you can go! ”

Jiang Ling thanked Nangong Ping and walked straight to the construction of Nangong Pingzhi.

Before entering the door, I heard a mournful and tactful piano sound, which slowly elongated, and there was a sense of helplessness at the end of the song. Jiang Ling was shocked and thought: "Ling Yao played the "Old Garden Lovesickness" again, could it be that he couldn't think of it and wanted to commit suicide?"

In a panic, Jiang Ling quickly pushed open the door and shouted, "Ling Yao, don't think about it." ”

Jiang Ling was so nervous that he called Ling Yao's name, not even the princess.

I saw that Ling Yao was dressed in white, with a disappointed expression and tears in his eyes, sitting in the pavilion, plucking the strings in his hand, and playing the sad hometown lovesickness.

On the rafters of the pavilion hung three feet of white silk, fluttering with the wind.

Seeing that Jiang Ling was finally here, Ling Yao stopped plucking his fingers on the strings, turned his head, frowned slightly angrily, and said angrily: "I thought you deliberately avoided me when you received my letter, but you finally came." ”

With Jiang Ling's appearance, Ling Yao's stone hanging in her heart was half lowered, and she gambled all her hopes on Jiang Ling, if Jiang Ling really changed her mind, Ling Yao was ready to die.

Jiang Ling was shocked, he really didn't expect his position in Ling Yao's heart to be so important, he originally thought that Princess Ling Yao lived in the VIP building, and she had no worries about food and clothing, and she didn't have to worry about being harassed by the princes and nobles, and she didn't have to worry about the royal family, because the opening date of the secret realm of the Star Chess Pavilion was close at hand, and it was impossible for the capital to hold a large-scale royal wedding at this time.

Therefore, Jiang Ling ignored Princess Ling Yao these days and was busy looking for the whereabouts of the Spirit Pupil.

He really didn't expect Princess Ling Yao to be angry because of this, and even want to die.

Jiang Ling said apologetically: "The secret realm of the Star Chess Pavilion is about to open, and I am busy dealing with things over there, so I neglected the princess, and I ask the princess not to blame." ”

Princess Ling Yao quickly adjusted her mood, looked around dignified and elegantly, found that no one was eavesdropping, and said, "Stinky boy, when are you going to help me escape from the capital, the situation in the royal family is turbulent, and if you don't leave, it will be dangerous." ”

Jiang Ling thought about it, he had long known that Ling Yao would ask this question, he analyzed seriously: "Don't worry, princess, I promised to help you escape from the capital, but now is not the time, the secret realm of the Star Chess Pavilion is about to open, all sects and factions will gather in the capital, it is impossible for the royal family to hold a wedding during this period of time, the princess is very safe for the time being, it is safer than staying outside." ”

Ling Yao also knew that she couldn't be in a hurry, but she was fed up with a life without freedom, so she had already planned to escape and wander the world like a chivalrous woman.

Let her wait one more day and there will be more pain.

"Okay, I'll wait for you to return from the secret realm. Ling Yao saw that Jiang Ling was serious, so he once again put all the bets on Jiang Ling.

A sense of confidence that was completely trusted rose from the bottom of his heart, and Jiang Ling assured: "The princess only needs to be well nurtured and not show her feet, and as soon as the secret realm exploration is over, the capital will be the most guarded, and it will be the most suitable time to escape." ”
