Chapter 128: The Beast Tide Ends, The Man Behind the Witch Walk
The Bai family, somewhere in the backyard.
Rong Ziqing stood not far away and silently looked at the man in the courtyard who seemed to have no quarrel with the world, his eyebrows couldn't help beating a few times, since he woke up, he found that he didn't know when he lay down from the palace dungeon to the courtyard of a certain Bai Fourth Master who was said to have escaped from the world and disappeared many people.
His mind was still stuck in the dungeon full of rancid smell, Rong Ziqing didn't know what happened in the middle, he seemed to see Rong Chenxi, but before he could see his appearance, his consciousness gradually blurred.
I also woke up in the middle...... That should be considered a wake-up, right?
He heard the voice of the guy who was in the night, and also heard the sound of the chaotic fight, and tried his best to stand up and shout, but at that time he only felt terrible pain all over his body, as if he had been tortured in the middle of his consciousness, and the cold sweat couldn't stop breaking out.
And then what happened......
Right.
He heard a group of people shouting for who to catch, but all the sounds suddenly disappeared at the same time, and the sounds of the fight disappeared instantly.
Before the last second of all his realization, he raised his head with all his strength to look outside the cell, but only saw a white figure that was intolerant of the world walking up in front of a person who seemed to be injured and unable to stand up, I don't know what to do, that person's injury was just a blink of an eye.
Then the two of them walked towards him......
I heard Ye Junyi's anxious voice......
Later, when he opened his eyes, he saw Bai Yueze sitting beside him, looking at him with hair-making eyes as if he were looking at a corpse, and there were no emotions in his eyes.
Although, the fourth master of the Bai family looked suddenly back to his senses, and his seemingly apologetic tone explained that he was just in a daze just now.
But in retrospect, Rong Ziqing's back still couldn't help but feel a chill, it was a feeling of suffocation being stared at by the fierce beast above him, he heard that Bai Yueze's cultivation was completely wasted and now he was a waste of the Bai family, he had no sense of existence, and he couldn't play any role, and he spent his days in his yard in decadence.
From that moment, Rong Ziqing didn't dare to see Bai Yueze as anything in his mind, and he gave up on himself and did nothing!
Joke!
He's just been in a coma for a while, and his brain hasn't broken yet! And he didn't feel tired of being alive and wanted to end it early!
Wreck?
The waste person can be him or someone else, but it definitely can't be Bai Yueze!
"The Seventh Prince? What's wrong, but what's wrong? Bai Yueze actually knew it from the moment Rong Ziqing appeared, but His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince didn't know what was hidden in his heart, and he was distracted from time to time, and he was stunned for a long time.
If it's just like this, Bai Yueze doesn't care, it doesn't matter if Rong Ziqing plans to be in a daze for ten days and half a month, these have nothing to do with him.
But the premise is that Rong Ziqing didn't keep staring in the direction of his side when he was in a daze!
Rong Ziqing came back to his senses violently, he realized his faux pas, and quickly withdrew his gaze and apologized for his chin: "I'm sorry, I was just thinking about it...... Thinking about something, I was stunned unconsciously...... There's nothing wrong with that! Fourth Master Bai is too worried, the Bai family and you are kind to me, everything is fine! ”
Sky! Why did he make such a subconscious statement!
Rong Ziqing had to be ashamed of what he blurted out just now, it didn't sound like anything at first glance, but His Royal Highness the prince of a country said such a thing...... Well, as long as neither side thinks much about it, then nothing.
A trace of doubt crossed Bai Yueze's eyes.
Not again.
Just a few words, as for being so flustered...... Will he eat people? Nervous like this.
"Calculate the time, and those who set out from the secret realm should also come back."
Bai Yueze meant something, but unfortunately after seeing Rong Ziqing with a blank face, he instantly sighed in resignation, and said bluntly: "Is His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince going to take a look outside the city gate?" The people of the five major families are coming back soon, and at this time, there is a mess in the palace and no one cares about etiquette, but the people are looking at it, and at this time a leader is needed to stand up and stabilize people's hearts. ”
"The Royal Palace...... Indeed, the palace has now fallen into the hands of the Three Emperor Brothers, and it has recently been ...... outside Well? What Bai Siye means is that now there is a mess outside, and there is no one in charge in the palace?! Rong Ziqing's eyes widened in hindsight.
Bai Yueze raised his eyebrows: "I remember that someone came to me not long ago to report the situation, and at that time, I did not avoid His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince. ”
Rong Ziqing was by his side at that time, and it was impossible not to hear it.
Rong Ziqing was dumbfounded for a moment.
He said with a hint of embarrassment: "This ...... Cough! That time, I didn't ......"
As long as he says so.
Said he was distracted again at the time, so he didn't pay attention to it at all?!
didn't finish speaking, but rong ziqing had already felt the scrutiny from bai yueze, and his slightly sharp gaze seemed to be very incomprehensible why he answered like this, and ...... He seemed to have left Bai Yueze speechless.
"What do the Seven Princes mean, can't you remember?"
It still gave some face, although not much.
It's not that Rong Ziqing didn't remember it at all, but that Rong Ziqing couldn't remember it clearly.
“…… Be. Rong Ziqing was so ashamed that he plunged into the hole in the ground, he wouldn't be so embarrassed if he changed someone today, and he would even act, he just didn't listen to what he could do.
But it was Bai Yueze.
As long as he stood in front of the other party, he suddenly had nowhere to escape, which was even more uncomfortable than picking up all the top and bottom of his body and throwing him on the street, because people had obviously done nothing, and they had already given him this invisible sense of oppression.
"Okay." Bai Yueze's face was expressionless, and he once began to wonder if his little girl didn't look at people very well, except for a night Junyi who was not bad, a little bit of action and ability, and everything else.
But what can be done.
He didn't choose people, but if he did, there must be more than one to keep them as followers.
Ye Junyi and Rong Ziqing were chosen by Bai Shiying, and when she stuffed people to him, she knew that this girl was really big, but he felt that it was nothing, but it was just a country, the little girl could play if she wanted to, if something really happened, it was a big deal that he, who was an uncle, came out to cover it.
"In short, the emperor has gone crazy and has no whereabouts, although the third prince is in charge of the palace on the surface, but the actual situation is that he is letting it go, and he has no intention of solving any problems, so that the palace is now in a state of no one in charge."
"Now that the spirit beast is approaching the city gate, he ordered everyone to stay at home and not be allowed to come out, whether it is ordinary people or officers and soldiers, this is equivalent to everyone giving up resistance and becoming a flesh and mud soul under the feet of the spirit beast."
"At present, the people of the five major families have already set off, and the location is at the city gate, whether they can stop the spirit beast group I don't know, once the beast tide breaks out, it is easy to get out of control and suffer heavy casualties, it is certain, only rely on the strength of the family......" Bai Yueze's eyes were deep, and he stared at Rong Ziqing, who was thinking under the guidance: "Your Royal Highness the Seventh Prince, most of the power of the family is in the secret realm, you know this." ”
"I see."
Rong Ziqing took a deep breath and said with a calm face: "I will mobilize the army in my hand, thank you Fourth Master for telling this, Ziqing will not forget the Bai family's grace today, let alone the Fourth Master's advice and help today." ”
"There is help, but it is not a reminder." Bai Yueze smiled meaninglessly, and he narrowed his eyes slightly: "Your Highness Seventh still needs to disappoint my little niece, she values you very much." ”
The first half of the sentence made Rong Ziqing feel ashamed of being embarrassed again, he was almost stupid to death by himself!
Yes, Bai Yueze didn't say anything wrong, what he said later could be regarded as a point, at most, it was just to remind him that the information that this careless guy had said a long time ago was mentioned again!
But the aforementioned really reminded him what he should do at this time, isn't this a point?
Rong Ziqing couldn't figure out the person in front of him, maybe for Bai Yueze, it was really a casual mention that he couldn't stand it.
"You're really because of Bai Shiying." When Bai Yueze mentioned Bai Shiying, Rong Ziqing suddenly realized.
It's not about what the Seven Princes are.
It's not about looking at any royal family.
Bai Yueze told him plainly - he was only so that his little niece would not be disappointed, so he cooperated with them!
Hearing this, Bai Yueze was noncommittal, signaling that he could take care of himself.
Rong Ziqing raised his hand and saluted respectfully, didn't say anything, didn't need to say anything, what people wanted was his actions rather than how good they sounded.
"If you feel difficult, Your Highness the Seventh can come back at any time, and I will help you wherever I can."
"Go quickly, the beast tide brought by the spirit beast is not over yet, and your enemies are still hiding in the shadows waiting for an opportunity, be careful."
It wasn't until Rong Ziqing had just taken a step out of the courtyard that Bai Yueze's unhurried voice suddenly came from behind him.
Rong Ziqing's eyes were full of thoughts, a touch of resoluteness flashed in his eyes, and the back of raising his feet and leaving did not turn back.
……
All along, Rong Ziqing knew what his name meant.
He really didn't have a chance to win the throne, and he didn't want to fight for the throne.
If the Tanglin Kingdom is strong, Rong Ziqing thinks that he will probably choose to be an idle prince for the rest of his life, or the Donglin country can be a little more normal, and it is not bad to be plain, so that he can eat and drink freely when he is idle.
Pity.
In his eyes, the Tanglin Kingdom does not occupy anything.
From the moment he learned what happened to his friend's family, and that there was a hand behind it that controlled everything, all the stability and longing for the idle days in the future were all shattered, and that was because of one hand - the royal family!
He has heard a lot of people's lamentations, and he has also had the privilege of watching the collusion between the government and foreign bandits to frame loyal ministers several times.
Rong Ziqing asked himself if he didn't know what way to govern the country, the way of the emperor.
He hadn't learned, and his identity and position since birth didn't allow him to learn it.
But I don't know when it started.
A thought popped into my head.
A really crazy idea!
The person sitting in that position is a veritable faint monarch who does nothing, and everyone only has the glory and wealth brought by that position and a lifetime of power rule in their eyes, but no one cares about the sighs and sighs of ordinary people below, and food and clothing are difficult.
If anyone can fight, then why, can't that person be himself?
Rong Ziqing walked out of the Bai house quickly, at this time the streets were deserted and no one remembered the fireworks, the city was full of people, but the city was like a dead city, I am afraid that this is the scene when a country is about to die.
Is the ultimate goal of his royal brother to be unscrupulous and crazy, and then drag everyone to accompany him to the funeral?
The token on his chest was inexplicably warm and transmitted.
Wait for Rong Ziqing to stop and wait.
The men were already standing in the place where the army was stationed in the capital, as if to carry out the orders of those in power, and there were no soldiers guarding the gates.
Rong Ziqing easily came and went in such a place that should have been an important place in the city.
What he had to do was simple.
Calling everyone.
Then, revolt!
If you are regarded as a traitor, you will be a traitor, and the worst thing is to leave a stench for 10,000 years...... Oh no, as far as the Tanglin Kingdom is concerned, I don't know if there is a second year, and Wannian is too much to look down on Tanglin.
"Whatever you are doing, get up for me!"
A shout mixed with endless anger resounded above the calm and dead barracks.
Many of the soldiers gathered together had to lie on their stomachs or lie down as if they were boneless, and even the generals looked listless.
However, there was a sudden scolding, which frightened everyone on the spot, and they got up one by one in horror to look at the source of the sound, but saw that in the direction of the gate, a young man with a solemn face held a tiger-shaped token that was originally two pieces and was now one-
"As a Tanglin soldier, who allowed you to survive here in secret, ignoring the people in the city and hustaring here in disregard of the safety of the country? The disciples of the family are weak and not strong in cultivation, and they all know that they grit their teeth and rush forward just to delay, and the ordinary people who are guarding are you, what about you?! ”
Under a roar of rage.
The brain, paralyzed by alcohol, finally cleared up a bit.
Everyone looked at each other, obviously not recovering from the impact just now.
"Yes...... It's a talisman!! ”
"Hasn't it been gone for a long time, half of it is in the hands of the emperor, and the other half is missing, how can it be ......?"
"It's... It's His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince!! ”
Tanglin's military power was not in the hands of the royal family at the earliest, but that was a long time ago, since the emperor ordered the beheading of the old marshal who was in charge of the army on a trumped-up charge, Tanglin has actually not had a serious general to control the army for a long time, and the power to maintain the country fell into the hands of some people, and it suddenly became a mercenary weapon.
The Tanglin army does not recognize people, they only recognize soldiers.
Whoever holds the talisman in his hand, they will listen!
It was precisely because of this that the complete military talisman had not appeared since the death of the old marshal, and even the emperor's desire to take full control of the army was of no avail.
It's just that everyone couldn't imagine that the complete talisman that had disappeared for so long would actually appear in front of everyone's eyes in such a form, and it was still the royal bloodline that held it, and it was the Seven Princes who had never imagined!
Justifiably!
Such a thought flashed in everyone's minds for the first time, and they all got up from the ground silently, standing honestly and properly, and didn't know who was running in the middle to ventilate the news, and after a while, Rong Ziqing heard powerful footsteps and walked in anxiously from afar.
The five people who came into view were stunned at the first glance when they saw Rong Ziqing, and then they were positive.
"When you see the talisman, why don't you kneel!"
Rong Ziqing didn't have a trace of superfluous emotion in his eyes, and his cold voice trembled: "My Donglin soldiers don't have cowards, this is what I have always believed in and never doubted, but what do I see now?" That guy in the palace smashed what you had been guarding with a casual order, and could he make you give up the country and people behind you?! ”
"Those who are not afraid of death can be listed now, I need you to die...... You heard it right, the enemy outside the city has not been repulsed, and soon the people of the five major families will not be able to hold on, and the city will be over. ”
Rong Ziqing turned to the side, he showed full patience and urgency: "Give you five minutes to think, I can tell you, if you leave here and choose to follow me as a soldier of Tanglin, you may have no return, I am the same as you." ”
Rong Ziqing is completely sure.
Because among the five armies, the five highest generals are already his people, this scene-
It's for these soldiers!
"His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince is the actual ruler of the army with a military talisman in his hand, and when the country is in turmoil, only His Royal Highness cares about the people, and is willing to live and die with me."
After the five of them received the signal, they stepped forward tacitly, respectfully knelt down towards the talisman in Rong Ziqing's hand, and shouted: "I am willing to follow the Seventh Highness to the death!" ”
More and more soldiers gathered.
The roar of the five people was honest, and if Rong Ziqing, who was too close, hadn't kept a straight face, he would have tried to cover his ears.
"I am willing to follow the Seventh Highness to the death!"
"I'm willing to swear to follow the Seventh Highness to the death!!"
An oath better than a sworn one was deafening and hovered overhead.
Rong Ziqing held the talisman tightly in his hand, only he knew how nervous he was now, and his hands were full of sweat.
How to say it.
He didn't feel anything after he had planned to persuade others before, and at this time everyone shouted that he was standing up for the crisis, but only Rong Ziqing knew that this was just an obvious excuse to control the troops.
But, so what.
Even if everyone knew that he had ulterior motives, could there be a better way now?
Rong Ziqing's eyes flashed with imperativeness, some things, once the decision is made, there is no turning back.
……
In the capital city of Tanglin, there seems to be some temptation that can make spirit beasts rush in regardless of the consequences.
I thought that the spirit beast that received the threat of ice erosion would rise to timidity, after all, the spirit beast in the beast tide riot only lost its sanity and not lost its instinct, destruction is also one of the instincts, and cowardice is the same.
In the face of the strong, the weak side will try their best to back down, and this instinct does not discriminate between races.
"Wait, look!"
Suddenly, someone raised his hand and pointed in the direction of the Everfree Forest, shouting in a panicked tone, "What is over there?" Something swooped in?! ”
Everyone looked up.
Because he was attracted by the sound, even the bored witch on the city wall lazily raised his eyes to look in the direction of the Endless Forest, but this glance made his whole person instantly refreshed, and the light flashed in his eyes as if he had noticed something interesting.
"I see, you're going to solve the problem this way......"
Wu Xing's expression was a lot more interested: "It's hard to have the best of both worlds, what is it that makes you so fearless?" Bai Shiying......"
Just because he didn't bother with some small actions doesn't mean he doesn't know anything, as long as it can make things more vivid and interesting, it's not impossible for him to open his eyes and close one eye.
Like now.
Wu Xing was a little curious about Bai Shiying's choice, so he didn't stop one of his disobedient guys when he did something very superfluous, and it was easy for Wu Xing to let the other party kill him before he even opened his mouth.
"I thought I would choose the Bai family, but later I thought you were a person who values righteousness, and you would disregard the safety of your family for the sake of righteousness, but now it seems that ...... Hehe. "There is a mysterious person of unknown origin, but the strength is a little terrifying, whether it is Bai Shiying's hole card or not, Wu Xing does not know.
He also thought, maybe passing by?
But it's okay to talk about such jokes, if it's serious, it's a real joke!
People who have reached such a state are afraid that it is difficult to even raise their hearts of pity, after all, in such an environment, it is extremely difficult to struggle to climb to the top, even if it looks like a "human" on the surface, but in fact, who knows, it is not without monsters that look like people.
Take back the thoughts.
At this time.
The dense powder drifted everywhere in the capital with the direction of the wind, naturally, the spirit beasts outside the capital were all stained all over their bodies, I don't know if it was because of these powders, the originally irascible spirit beasts actually stopped, and their scarlet eyes gradually regained their senses and turned to light.
Right now.
When the spirit beast fought with the people again, it had no previous desperate posture, and immediately ran back to the Endless Forest in a hurry.
"These powders ...... It's a medicinal powder! ”
"I also smell it, it's really a medicinal powder, it should be the appearance of the powder after the pill is ground into powder, someone is secretly helping us!!"
"People? But isn't this from the Everfree Forest, how could anyone help us from so far away in the Everfree Forest? ”
"Stupid! Don't you see, these powders are floating everywhere, not only in our direction, but also in other directions now, and it is clear that someone found out that the beast tide made it in order to quell the beast tide riot! ”
Such explanations are the most convincing.
Wu Xing also nodded frequently when he heard it, and he was very supportive of the face, but unfortunately, the person who spoke couldn't see his nod.
"Well, it doesn't seem to be nice anymore, so it's so easy to solve? I'll have to turn it up a little bit next time......"
The corners of Wu Xing's mouth slowly hooked: "For example, let the entire Xuanling Continent fall?" Yes, it's a good idea, make a note of it first, and you can try it next time. ”
No one heard this person's crazy words, and even if someone heard it, they probably thought that this person was afraid that there was something wrong with his brain, and he was actually thinking about this kind of problem in broad daylight, dreaming too much?
But only those who are familiar with witchcraft know.
There is nothing he can't do!
Just when Wu Xing was about to leave, and he was tired of watching the drama here, there was nothing new, and it was time to move forward to the next step......
"That's, that's the army...... Look! It's the army! It seems to be the Seventh Prince Rong Ziqing who takes the lead? How could it be him?! I don't know who exclaimed, the audience was still excited because of the medicine powder just now, and the whole family became dead silent.
Army.
The Seventh Prince Rong Ziqing?
What kind of combination is this?!
Everyone without exception was dumbfounded, and Wu Xing on the city wall was also stunned for a while, knowing that when he saw the person on the street getting closer and closer, his face was similar to his body, Wu Xing suddenly put on an exaggerated sudden realization.
"Rong, Zi, Qing!"
He recalled this unfamiliar name that he didn't even have any memory in his mind, even the original Rong Chenxi had a very vague impression of this name, but it was such an unexpected, completely unindicative person, who disrupted Wu Xing's plan!
Unexpected variables?
Military power.
Yes, the old prince couldn't find the talisman no matter how he looked for it, it turned out to be in Rong Ziqing's hands, no wonder Rong Chenxi checked everyone in the entire capital, and it still didn't matter.
I can't think of it.
It turned out to fall into the hands of the most non-existent......
"Things are getting interesting again."
Wu Xing's eyes were fixed on the figure that was getting closer and closer, just as he was about to make a move.
For example, appearing in person to make the scene more chaotic, and for example, pointing out Rong Ziqing to steal the talisman and play the most common means that the old emperor used to do, no matter which one it is, Rong Ziqing will be blocked in a short time, and the scene will be uncontrollable, which is a good opportunity to see the seams.
Isn't that a good way to think about?
It was at this time that Wu Xing got up and moved, and before he could make some movements, he suddenly sensed the disgust and annoyance between his eyebrows.
A white light appeared and swirled around him.
From it, a person's voice came out, male and female, but the tone was very obvious that he was ordering Wu Xing.
"Your Highness Wu Xing, I heard that your mission in the Xuanling Continent has failed? If you fail, come back as soon as possible, the Sanctuary needs the contribution of His Highness Wu Xing. ”
Wu Xing snorted impatiently, but did not respond.
As soon as he heard this voice, he fell back into uncontrollable irritability, and if he could, he hoped that this pervert would be the first to disappear in this world.
"Is His Highness the Witch Walker planning to disobey orders? You have to figure out whether it's for the sake of momentary entertainment against the Sanctuary, or for the long-term plan for our common interests...... By the way, I heard that His Royal Highness Wu Xing met the Demon Emperor himself? Oh, I don't know how His Highness felt when he first saw the Demon Emperor himself? ”
If a frowning brow can trap a person, then the person on the other side is already dead and can't die anymore, or if the eyes can kill, Wu Xing wants to cut the other party on the spot and ascend to heaven now!
Why is there such an annoying sound?
It's hard for him to not hear this chatter for a few years, and those plans that make people feel unimaginable when they hear it, if it's unrealistic, no, the Sanctuary and this pervert will definitely be realized.
How to say it.
Wu Xing likes to spend time in the Xuanling Continent, which is much more fun than spending time with those abnormal guys.
"I didn't say anything, so why do you say I'm disobeying orders? By your imagination?! Wu Xing's tone was low, and there was a very obvious impatience in it that he did not hide at all.
The other party seemed to be accustomed to his attitude, and laughed again disapprovingly.
The tone that seemed to be discussed, but in fact, it was a semi-strong exertion, so that Wu Xing must answer: "Your Highness, you haven't answered the question just now, I don't know how you feel when you see the Demon Emperor himself?" I'm curious, many people in the Sanctuary are curious, Your Highness will satisfy our curiosity, right? ”
"If you're curious, I'll have to say?"
Wu Xing raised his eyebrows, and he smiled evilly: "I don't!" Go for yourself, don't you listen to what you can think, mobilize your clever brains to make up a complete process of cause and effect, isn't that enough? ”
The man on the other end was silent, not knowing what he was thinking, perhaps because of Wu Xing's disobedience that made him think of something else.
Wu Xing sincerely sent a chill all over his body.
"Don't bother me, if you just want me to go back, there can be another way instead of letting me listen to you!"
Wu Xing said unabashedly: "Do you think your voice is very good? I don't care what other people do, but in my case, I want to vomit every time I hear your voice, it's very disgusting! So, don't show up in front of me again, I've said it many times! ”
The other party still didn't speak, but smiled.
Putting aside the preconceived ideas of witchcraft, in fact, this voice is not unpleasant, it belongs to a very normal kind.
But Wu Xing doesn't think so.
The person on the other side created him, brought him into this world, and did a lot of tricks and tricks on him to make him become a "puppet" of the Holy Domain, of course, he has broken free from the puppet, and this person has an unshirkable responsibility for the loss of control of his work.
Get out of hand......
I don't know if it's good news or bad news.
Maybe it's a mix of good and bad.
Obviously, there is a need for a puppet that can be manipulated at will, but because there is an urgent need for this puppet to become a substitute for the real thing, the lower limit is constantly lowered, and finally when he really creates a "person" who looks very similar to the Demon Emperor, he finds that the character of this "person" is completely inconsistent with expectations.
What can I do?
Isn't this the price they need to be perfectly copied, it's ridiculous to disobey their character - to think that the character of the Demon Emperor will succumb to the Holy Domain?!
"Now, I need you to come back, and as for your other requests, we can talk later, you know my patience is limited, so ...... His Royal Highness Wu Xing has finally won his current freedom, but don't ruin everything because of his willfulness! ”
The voice rejected Wu Xing's protest, and the final warning was given, and the white light gradually returned to Wu Xing's body, and this temptation full of disdain and gunpowder came to an end.
"Tsk, dead pervert."
Threaten him?!
There was a hint of murder in Wu Xing's eyes.
"Woo woo......" The monster behind him made a sound.
Wu Xing said in a cold and gloomy voice: "Shut up! It's noisy! ”
After blurting it out, his heart froze.
“…… You, stay, start creating chaos now, activate the formation - kill everyone here! ”
