Xia Yanzhen was taken to the largest private room in the Yellow Crane Tower.

The crown prince Wu Daoyi did not hesitate to praise him at all, and Xiu Guogong also praised Xia Yanzhen a few words under the mediation of Wu Daoyi, indicating that the previous matter was written off.

Xia Yanzhen didn't have any expression during the whole process.

was treated as a young man's restraint and nervousness by Wu Daoyi, and it seemed that he admired Xia Yanzhen more and more.

After the excitement, a group of people dispersed.

The Yellow Crane Tower has also reopened to the public.

In the carriage of the Hong family, Hong Xuanwu patted Xia Yanzhen on the shoulder: "Good boy, you have fallen into the eyes of the prince this time." ”

"Hmm." Xia Yan really responded, "What's the matter with the Heavenly Forsaken?" ”

The Heavenly Forsaken was mentioned during the banquet, and Xia Yan really wanted to know.

"That's the ......," Hong Xuanwu explained.

Xia Yanzhen asked, "So, I am the Heavenly Forsaken?" ”

"That's right, otherwise there is no way to explain why you have not been able to become a martial soul master for a long time." Hong Xuanwu said with a smile.

"Isn't it normal to not be able to become a martial soul master?"

"But you're not dead...... Hong Xuanwu said in general, suddenly paused and changed the topic, "Promoting medicinal baths, there is still a certain risk, and sometimes things will happen." ”

"Oh."

Xia Yanzhen also skipped in cooperation, "Then I will always be an ordinary person in the future?" ”

"No, there is hope, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said, once the Heavenly Forsaken breaks through to become a Martial Soul Master, he is the Apocalypse! The future is limitless! Hong Xuanwu said, "Moreover, your physique is not easy, you keep taking medicinal baths, have you felt the enhancement of your physique?" ”

Xia Yanzhen nodded.

It's a real deal.

Sure enough, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also judged in this way. As a special Heavenly Forsaken, I'm afraid that the effect of the medicinal bath will become a stronger body. Even if you fail to become a martial soul master in the end, you will become a strong man, the pillar of the Hong family. Hong Xuanwu said with a smile.

At this moment, his attitude towards Xia Yanzhen finally changed.

It is no longer the chess piece that attracted the attention of the Ice Phoenix Venerable and was used to discard it at will.

However, the chess pieces are still chess pieces.

It's just become more important.

Hong Xuanwu smiled heartily.

Xia Yanzhen also smiled heartily, and the brain supplement of this group of people gave him a very good "development environment".

Next, it should be possible to continue to hold on.

The situation was as Xia Yanzhen expected.

After he entered the eyes of the crown prince Wudaoyi, his status in the Hongfu skyrocketed.

When those family servants saw it, they would all salute respectfully and say, "Second Young Master." ”

Not only that, but the degree of food and clothing has really risen to the standard of the young master of the Hong family.

It's just that the Ice Phoenix Venerable's face is very ugly, and when he looks at Xia Yanzhen, he is murderous.

An expression that wanted to kill him but couldn't.

Xia Yanzhen completely ignored it, anyway, he soaked in a medicinal bath every day and looked at the martial arts cheats, which was quite comfortable.

Xia Yan is so comfortable.

The Ice Phoenix Venerable was anxious and continued to strengthen the medicinal bath.

was accepted by Xia Yanzhen in full, and at this time, he was not worried that he would not die in the medicinal bath all the time, which made people suspicious.

He is a forsaken of heaven, certified by the prince.

And it can also show strength appropriately.

Everything is backed by the words of the Prince.

I don't know if it's a coincidence, I really fit the characteristics of the Heavenly Forsaken, or if the prince Wudaoyi is secretly planning something.

】

Whatever he does, as long as I'm good enough, the intrigues have nothing to do with me.

Ten days later, Xia Yanzhen finished taking a medicinal bath, returned to the room, and went to lie on the bed.

Sure that no one was watching, he took out the Blood-Burning Sword from the Great Sun's Fury and slashed it into his arm.

After making a cut, blood continued to flow into the imprint space.

After bleeding for a while, Xia Yan Zhen reached out and pressed the wound, and after a while of removing it, the blood scab had already appeared and was no longer bleeding.

Only the palms of the hands are some red, and some are also black.

"There is a foreign body in this medicinal bath, mainly in the blood, I don't know if the side effects have accumulated toxins, or if someone ......is intentional," Xia Yanzhen said secretly in his heart.

After soaking in the medicated bath for the past two days, he obviously felt a trace of abnormality.

With Xia Yanzhen's control over his body, he quickly found the anomaly, and as the medicinal bath continued, something was deposited in the blood.

It may be the poison that accumulates side effects under the constant medicinal bath, or it may be some kind of "poison" deliberately placed by someone.

The medicinal bath really has an effect on Xia Yan, so the "poison" produced will also be effective for him.

Xia Yanzhen's cultivation of the Demon Breath Technique is a process of reforging and strengthening, which can actually be detoxified.

It's slow, though.

This is the mission world, Xia Yanzhen simply used a radical method, directly bloodletting to release all the blood contaminated with "poison".

The little weakness caused by bloodletting can be replenished by eating more food every day.

In the Hong family, all kinds of mountain and sea delicacies Xia Yanzhen eats casually.

I'm not afraid of the problem of nutrition not keeping up.

After coming and going, Xia Yanzhen still kept himself in the best condition and coped with situations that could happen at any time.

A little bit of poison made Xia Yanzhen more vigilant and more thorough.

A few days later, Tiamat emerged as a late bloomer in the courtyard as an "old horse".

was transferred to the Hongfu Tiger Garden, Xia Yanzhen and Lao Ma "met" by chance, because they had a relationship in the other courtyard, it was logical that Tiamat became Xia Yanzhen's guard.

The second young master of the Hong family, of course, must have one or more people around him who are responsible for running errands and handling various chores.

It can be a scholar, a servant, or a guard.

Anyway, now Xia Yan really doesn't go out, and he doesn't need Feng Wei and guards.

After Tiamat arrived, Xia Yan really entered the state of "complete body" in the mission world.

Continue to gather wool in Hongfu, and be happy.

And the other side.

The Ice Phoenix Venerable was also becoming more and more irritable.

The murderous aura was so thick that it seemed to materialize, lingering around her, and it couldn't be dissolved at all.

In the past few days, several servants have been slapped to death by the Ice Phoenix Venerable because of a trivial matter.

Even Hong Yixian realized that his wife was in a bad mood during this time.

obediently cowered to recuperate from his injuries, not daring to provoke her.

The entire Hong Mansion was shrouded in the murderous aura of the Ice Phoenix Venerable, trembling.

Hong Xuanwu knew why Venerable Ice Phoenix was angry.

She invested a lot of manpower and material resources in Hong Buyi, and consumed too much, just to make him a martial soul master.

Now Hong is not easy to become a martial soul master, and there is no future.

Its own strength is growing, and it has attracted a lot of attention.

Among them, there is also the prince's optimism.

Can the Ice Phoenix Venerable's plan continue?

Go ahead, of course!

She had no choice in the first place, and now it is even more difficult to ride a tiger.

But the situation was so unfavorable, the mood of the Ice Phoenix Venerable could be imagined.

"How do I feel like this woman is crazy?"

In the room, Tiamat looked at the Observation Mirror and said in the team's channel.

"Oh?"

Xia Yanzhen walked over and took a look.

The Ice Phoenix Venerable in the mirror sat in front of his desk, the expression on his face constantly changing, sometimes indifferent, sometimes hideous and terrifying.

The mouth also keeps opening and closing, and it looks like it is talking to itself.

"Sort of."

"This woman won't suddenly turn her face and do something, will she?"

"Who knows, but the medicated bath seems to be about the same." Xia Yanzhen said.

The effect of the medicinal bath has begun to wane.

And there is more poison than before, and Xia Yanzhen is almost full of wool.

It can start his plan to really complete the task.

Since the Ice Phoenix Venerable looked like he was on the verge of going crazy, he could also find an opportunity to do it.

The next morning.

Hong Xuanwu did not go to the early dynasty, but found Xia Yanzhen and asked him to go to the winter festival together.

"Am I going to the Winter Festival too?"

Xia Yan was really a little strange.

The Winter Festival was a very important day for the Tianwu Dynasty, and on that day, the Emperor of the Apocalypse would leave the imperial city with the Manchu Dynasty Wenwu and go to the top of the sacrificial mountain outside the city to carry out the ritual of worshipping the heavens.

Pray that God bless Tianwu.

The Manchu Dynasty's civil and military counterparts, including the Lady of the Command, were also in the procession.

The mighty procession came all the way from the imperial city to the sacrificial mountain, and then climbed the steps.

When it's dark, you're going to go.

The speed is not too fast, and it is estimated that you will not be able to climb the mountain until noon.

The festival is not high, but it will be held at the top of the mountain in the afternoon when the sun is just right to start the festival.

The festival was simple and didn't take much time.

After that, when I returned to the Imperial City, it was already night.

Basically, you can't eat or drink for a day.

It's actually drudgery, but everyone is proud to participate in the festival.

The Emperor of the Apocalypse will also send down grace, and for the elderly officials, they can eat some dry food, drink water, and sit in a sedan chair when they are tired.

Just in case, it's rarely useful.

Official's mother, such an edict will not participate in the festival.

And the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military, not to mention 100%, there are only one or two who are not martial soul masters.

Such a trip is not tiring for them.

"Yes, I'll show you the world." Hong Xuanwu said, "As a prince of the country, I can bring my heirs." ”

The son of the prince of the country, unless he is too wasteful, will also inherit his father's business in the future.

Especially the eldest son, it is normal to participate in the winter festival.

Hong Yat-sen has never participated.

used to be too young, but later when he got older, Hong Yat-sen showed a gentlemanly and wasteful side.

Hong Xuanwu naturally wouldn't let him go.

It's one thing to be embarrassed, it's another thing to accidentally make a mistake.

Now that it's hard to get out of the way, you can take it to the festival.

"Okay."

Xia Yan really thought about it and agreed.

The Winter Festival is a good day.

The rest of the time flew by, and Xia Yanzhen didn't see the Ice Phoenix Venerable again.

I don't know if she was worried that she couldn't help but kill Xia Yanzhen as soon as she met.

Until the day of the Winter Festival.

The sky was still dark, Xia Yanzhen was called away by Hong Xuanwu, changed into a solemn Xuanjin robe, and stood beside Hong Xuanwu, very stylish.

Hong Xuanwu was dressed in vermilion and sat on a horse.

The journey from the Imperial City to the Sacrificial Mountain.

The emperor and empress can sit on the dragon chariot, the crown prince and the prince can ride horses, and the rest need to walk.

Xia Yanzhen, as a supernumerary, can be regarded as Hong Xuanwu's groom.

One horse and two people, out of the Hong Mansion, walked towards Chaotian Avenue outside the palace.

"What about her?" Xia Yanzhen asked suddenly.

"She, as the third master in the world, she will ride the ice phoenix and advance with the team in the air all the way." Hong Xuanwu said, his tone slightly mocking.

The rest of the Lady of the Decree walked in the "Circle of Commandment" in the middle of the procession.

Only the ice phoenix is special.

For Hong Xuanwu, it is also a kind of irony.
