Xu Huaigu landed directly from the two-person high wall, only landing lightly on the ground, and his clothes set off a small gust of wind, barely making the slightest movement.

This vigorous skill is still due to his four years of hard practice in that spiritual treasure place on Fengtou Mountain. Generally speaking, the fight between low-level monks depends more on their own physique and magic weapons, and there are no high-level spells such as sword qi and thunder methods, so skills and tricks are more important.

Therefore, at this stage, what is more concerned is one's own hard practice, and after the realm is high, what is more important is the moment of epiphany and enlightenment. For example, Sun Xiang, a Taoist priest of Taihua Mountain, has traveled to Hongchen for decades, for what? It's just to ask for that little epiphany.

Except, of course, Takeo. The ascension of the martial artist can only rely on the fight of real swords and guns, not "ascending towards the Tao and rising at night" as the monk said. And it is precisely because of such a unique cultivation method of Wufu that Wufu and his party are not very interested in talent, and the most important thing is the hard work of the day after tomorrow. But the hardships of martial arts cultivation are not known to be much more than that of monks.

Princess Cangyang's mansion is really big, this is the most intuitive feeling after Xu Huaigu came in. The place where he came in should be in the backyard of the princess's mansion, so the place where he landed was full of fragrant and soft grass blades, and there was a small pond on the side, and there were a few willow trees on the side of the pond, and the branches were entwined, and it was a rare good tree at first glance.

After he landed, he quickly checked the surrounding situation and found that no one was passing by, so he was relieved. He felt that the location where Lin Cangyang lived should be in the middle of the princess's mansion, so he went to the most central position.

There are no guards in this princess's mansion, most of them are palace maids with night lights coming and going, only a few guards are patrolling, and these guards are just ordinary people, Xu Huaigu easily dodged the past.

There is indeed a small building in the center of the princess's mansion, which is particularly small and beautiful. Although this small building is not large among the surrounding buildings, it is indeed the most secluded and beautiful decoration.

There is a small stream that has been specially carved out from the Changyang River in the distance and flows through this small building. There is also a bowl thick crooked neck southern red sandalwood tree downstairs, and the sandalwood tree is full of tags tied with red ropes, which looks quite festive, Xu Huaigu feels that Lin Cangyang mostly lives here.

He walked around to the back of this small building, and saw that there were still lights in the small building, and he could also see the silhouettes of two women, one of whom should be Lin Cangyang, and the other didn't know who it was.

Xu Huaigu approached quietly, carefully pierced a layer of window screen with his fingers, and looked inside. The two women stood and sat together, and the woman who was sitting was combing her hair in the mirror at this time, Xu Huaigu fixed her eyes to see that it was Lin Cangyang.

Perhaps because of the good maintenance, her current face has not changed from previous years, but the movement of applying makeup and powder is more calm. However, in Xu Huaigu's opinion, her movements seemed to be a little sad and haggard.

The person standing in the room was the green-clothed palace maid, and she was complaining very dissatisfied: "Those dog minions guarding the door are just too hateful!" The princess used to be so good to them, but now she helps others deal with the princess! ”

Lin Cangyang sighed and said, "Don't say it, they are just listening to the orders from above, don't be angry with them." It's just that I'm grounded here, but I don't know what the chaos in the court will be like these days. ”

The green-clothed palace maid was also a little helpless: "Alas, you said that the emperor used to be so wise and capable, why has he become so confused now?" ”

As soon as she finished speaking, she herself felt that something was wrong, so she quickly closed her mouth, not daring to say more.

Lin Cangyang said: "It's okay, how many times have I told you, don't be so restrained in front of me, my father has really been very wrong in recent times." By the way, is there a whereabouts of the young man who asked to see him at the gate of the princess's mansion a few days ago? ”

The palace maid was a little disappointed and said, "No, it should be that you didn't see the signal I sent him?" ”

Lin Cangyang said helplessly: "Maybe, maybe someone else is just a passerby, let's not count on others." ”

When Xu Huaigu heard it, that person was not himself? He felt that the time was almost up, so he knocked lightly on the window rail.

Princess Cangyang seemed to hear some noise, and asked the palace maid with some uncertainty, "Ling'er, did you hear any sound?" ”

Ling'er listened carefully, and really heard Xu Huaigu's knocking on the window. She looked at the window railing where the voice came from suspiciously, and said with some anger, "Who are you and why did you come to the Princess's Mansion?" If I don't declare my identity, I'll have to call the guards! ”

I heard them counting on themselves to come, but now they are coming but they are going to be driven away, Xu Huaigu is a little crying and laughing.

He said, "I am the person you said was at the gate of the princess's mansion a few days ago. ”

When Lin Cangyang heard this, he obviously couldn't hold back his mood, and his tone was a little eager: "May I ask who are you?" ”

Xu Huaigu replied: "I am Xu Huaigu, princess, do you remember me?" ”

Princess Cangyang's face was a little surprised, and she thought for a while before she said uncertainly: "You are the child who followed Sun Xiang of Taihua Mountain in Binxi four years ago?" ”

Xu Huaigu nodded and said, "It's me." ”

Princess Cangyang was still surprised, but she immediately regained her composure and hurriedly said, "You come in quickly, don't be discovered by people outside." ”

The green-clothed palace maid opened the door for Xu Huaigu under Lin Cangyang's orders, and Xu Huaigu hurriedly dodged into this small building.

The small building is extremely luxuriously furnished, with intricately carved beams and pillars, as well as large curtains embroidered with golden yellow patterns.

There is also a small bead curtain between the main entrance and the couch, which is shining. There is a small table with triangular hairpins in the corner of the house, and on it is an antique small incense burner, which burns with an intoxicating incense, which is a little ambiguous with this atmosphere.

But Lin Cangyang and Xu Huaigu didn't have the heart to take care of these at all.

She asked him anxiously, "I didn't expect it to be you...... How did you come to Xingqing City? ”

"I originally planned to go north to Fusang Kingdom, but I encountered some things on the way and was delayed for several years, so I arrived in Xingqing so late."

"Then you came to me that day because of ......?"

Xu Huaigu was a little embarrassed, and said with a shy face: "It's my money that is gone, so I thought if I could borrow some from your royal family...... That's why I came to you. ”

Lin Cangyang's face suddenly became strange, but she immediately became unfazed again and said, "It's okay, money is a trivial matter." I have a very urgent matter right now and need your help, can you help me? ”

Xu Huaigu's face was a little unhappy.

As soon as he came in, Lin Cangyang was anxious to ask him for help, I'm afraid it was not a simple matter.

Seeing that Xu Huaigu was a little hesitant, Lin Cangyang was also anxious, and begged: "It's really an urgent matter, I really have to think of begging you." ”

Xu Huaigu asked: "First of all, tell me what the situation is in Dayu Country now, and why are you grounded here?" What happened to the emperor of Dayu recently? ”

Lin Cangyang sighed and began to recall: "The chaos in the imperial court of the Great Yu Kingdom was about a month ago. Originally, my father knew about the imminent invasion of the demon clan, although he was very distressed, but he was not desperate, he had been looking for a way to save the country.

The first was the Binxi alliance that time, but as you can see, everyone broke up unhappily. Later, he also signed a contract with the other three major countries in Dongfuyao Continent to form a four-nation alliance, and the army was drawn to the south of the Dayu country to a defensive line, which also cost a lot of financial resources.

Originally, these measures were necessary for survival, and no one objected. But a month ago, my father, the emperor, began to become very impatient for no reason, began to scold the ministers below at every turn, and killed several personal guards for no reason. Now he no longer attends even the early court, and all the affairs of the court are handled by the national teacher.

Originally, we thought that it was because of my father's excessive anxiety that it would be like this, and it would be good to rest for a while, but a terrible thing happened a week ago. ”

Xu Huaigu guessed a few points and asked, "Is someone trying to kill him?" ”

Lin Cangyang nodded worriedly: "Yes." Just a week ago, an extremely high-level Assassin appeared in the palace, but fortunately, he was discovered in time by the formation arranged in the palace. That night, the assassin fought against the Eight Realms Martial Arts Grandmaster who had been stationed in the palace for many years, and both sides were defeated, and in the end, no one could keep him and let him escape. ”

Xu Huaigu frowned and asked, "Is it someone from the Demon Sect?" ”

Lin Cangyang said: "Most likely. If you want to kill your father and emperor at this juncture, and you can also take out a monk from at least the Eight Realms to assassinate him, only the Demon Sect can do it. ”

Xu Huaigu looked at Lin Cangyang, a little confused: "Since there are monks from the Eight Realms involved, what do you ask me to help?" How can I help? ”

Lin Cangyang said: "You don't need to go against the people of the Demon Sect, I only need you to do one thing, to find out about my father's current situation." Since that assassination, my father has locked himself tightly in the deepest part of the palace, and no one has been seen. He also sent people to grounded many ministers, princes, princesses and princes, and now no one knows his situation. ”

Xu Huaigu asked, "Is he suspicious of you?" ”

Lin Cangyang said: "That's right, since then, he can't trust anyone, and only let that martial artist of the Eight Realms protect him." ”

She leaned forward and looked at Xu Huaigu urgently, her eyes were anxious: "Can you help me with this?" I'll pay you enough. ”

Remuneration? Xu Huaigu immediately thought of killing Qi Wen. But the governor of a county makes the official residence of the second grade, and even the emperor himself has to be carefully weighed, let alone just a princess?

But other than that, he doesn't have anything he wants at the moment.

As for money...... Although he is very short of money, he will never do anything tantamount to suicide for money.

So he looked embarrassed and refused: "No, the current situation in the palace is too tense, my realm is too low, not only will it not play any role if I go, but I will even have to take my own life, so I can't agree." ”

Lin Cangyang was not surprised when he heard Xu Huaigu's refusal, it seemed that it should have been so.

But she also said: "What if I told you that the white sister who was with you in Binxi back then was also involved in this matter? ”

Xu Huaigu raised his eyebrows, his eyes narrowed into a willow leaf, and he looked coldly at this Cangyang princess.
