17. Xia Lie's Bureau
The night breeze crept through it, carrying a wisp of blood, making the light of the torches outside the house sway slightly.
In the courtyard of the house, the slightly emaciated young man stood in front of the door of the house, and in the light of the moonlight, it could be seen that his body was covered with blood, and his face was also stained with a lot of blood.
From this point of view, Baili Fengzhi and Vice General Chu will be able to see the situation in the house.
This bit of light, for ordinary people, may not be able to see anything clearly, but the two of them can see it clearly, and they naturally recognize the young man at a glance, it is Xia Lie who has disappeared for three months!
I saw Xia Lie's figure staggering slightly to the gate of the courtyard, raised a hand, beckoned to Baili Fengzhi weakly, and said, "Commander Baili, you come to the gate of the courtyard." β
"Your Excellency?" Vice General Chu couldn't help but look at Baili Fengzhi.
No matter how you look at this matter, there is a kind of weirdness, and it has not yet been determined that this person must be Xia Lie.
At least he, a martial cultivator, couldn't tell whether it was true or false just from his heartbeat, qi and pulse.
"The breath of vitality is indeed Xia Lie."
Baili Fengzhi whispered, and without hesitation, he walked towards the gate of the courtyard.
Everyone's vibrancy is unique.
Although with the improvement of the cultivation realm, the aura will become stronger and stronger, but the essence remains the same, this is the most unique existence of each person.
Of course, she also knows that it is possible to disguise the vitality of life.
But it was either some strange supernatural powers, or some extremely precious treasure.
So, she needs to look again to be sure.
"Yes, I'll go over it."
The dark red cloak fluttered in the night wind, and the silver armor pieces collided with each other softly, and I saw Baili Fengzhi walking on slender legs, but the steps were extremely elegant, and he walked to the front of the courtyard in just a few steps.
The two were not separated by a foot, only the threshold of a courtyard gate.
Baili Fengzhi looked at Xia Lie slightly, then knelt down on one knee and said respectfully: "Please also ask His Royal Highness the Prince to forgive me, the prince entrusted me to take care of you, but the last general failed to fulfill his responsibilities, so that he only found your whereabouts today, and please punish you!" β
"Huh?"
Xia Lie frowned and looked at Baili Fengzhi, and couldn't help but say, "Baili Fengzhi, what bullshit are you talking about?" Is it crazy to lose your mind? What prince's son? β
Immediately, as if he had just reacted, his face suddenly turned cold: "Are you testing me?" You don't believe me? β
Baili Fengzhi heard this, but he was slightly relieved.
Besides her, only Xia Lie knew that he was a prince in this world.
And the other people present at this time, even if they saw the vision of the awakening of the bloodline, they could not be sure whether it was the prince or the heir of the prince in a short period of time, and it might even be lower.
The source of Xia Hong's bloodline, the first generation is naturally His Majesty the God Emperor.
His heir, that is, the prince, is the second generation, and when he awakens, he is enough to cause a vision of heaven and earth in the entire territory of Dayong.
And the heir of the prince, as the third generation, the vision caused by the awakening of the bloodline is also extremely huge, and it can also cause the vision of heaven and earth in the land of a state.
Even the vision of heaven and earth caused by the awakening of the fourth generation is enough to affect a county, although the power is a little smaller, but it is difficult for ordinary people who have not seen it to distinguish.
That's why she's so tempting.
If the other party was disguised as Xia Lie and didn't know the secret that Xia Lie was the prince, he would have knelt down so respectfully when he saw her come up, maybe he would have believed it.
Moreover, this demeanor and tone ...... It is indeed the same as Xia Li.
"I'm sorry."
Baili Fengzhi immediately lowered his head slightly, and said: "The last general is only worried that the thief is pretending to be you, so he is so tempted, and please don't blame him." β
Xia Lie looked at her with a gloomy face and said, "Pretend to be me? Commander Baili, are you still planning to continue to test me? β
After speaking, he suddenly strode angrily, walked quickly to Baili Fengzhi's eyes, and grabbed the collar of her battle robe.
I only heard him sneer: "Come, don't you want to test the truth?" I'll let you check it now, do you want to strip me naked and hang it up for you to check a little bit? Well? β
Seeing this, the faces of the many pro-guards around couldn't help but change slightly.
The main general they were loyal to was actually scolded loudly by the collar like this, although the other party was the noble Xia Hong royal family, but it still made them a little difficult to accept the honor and disgrace.
And Baili Fengzhi was not angry, just lowered his head and said in a deep voice: "The last general knows his mistake, and I ask you to forgive your sins." β
"Forgiveness?"
Xia Lie suddenly slapped Baili Fengzhi's face, only to hear the sound of "pop" echoing in the quiet night.
The eyes of the surrounding soldiers of the pro-guard army suddenly changed.
But Baili Fengzhi's eyes under the silver mask did not change in the slightest, he just looked up at Xia Lie and said softly: "Childe, please be careful with your hands." β
Xia Lie let go of her collar at once, but the hand that slapped her trembled, and her face was a little distorted in pain.
Baili Fengzhi was wearing a mask, and this slap naturally slapped on her hard mask.
"Good, good."
Xia Lie pointed to her face, and his chest rose and fell in anger: "Do you know how I spent this time? How did it take you so long to find me? How dare you do this to me now? β
The surrounding soldiers were silent, even if they were unhappy in their hearts, they all dared to be angry and did not dare to speak.
Baili Fengzhi said slowly: "The last general will be guilty, please punish you." β
Xia Lie stared at her with a gloomy face, and snorted coldly: "I know, if you unmask and slap you, you will definitely not agree." β
Baili Fengzhi glanced at Xia Lie and said, "Thank you for your understanding. β
Xia Lie once asked her to unmask and wanted to see her true face, but she naturally refused, and only she and Xia Lie knew about this matter.
And Xia Lie's performance at this time is indeed the same as before, he exploded after being slightly stimulated, and even more sensitive and irritable than before, maybe because of his experience in the past few months?
Moreover, she could also sense it from the qi veins, and at this time, Xia Lie's palm was indeed a little blocked by qi and blood because of that slap, and it was obviously a mortal body.
Even if it is the prince of the Xia Hong clan, before breaking the Heavenly Pass, even if he awakens, he is still a mortal body.
It's just that you will awaken your innate supernatural powers, and your body will get a lot better.
This made her believe three more points.
However, Baili Fengzhi still has a lot of doubts.
It's just that, after all, the other party is the heir of the God Emperor, the most noble bloodline in heaven and earth, and she never dares to question it openly, or check the prisoner as casually.
"Okay, I'll give you a chance to atone for your sins."
Xia Lie looked at Baili Fengzhi coldly, and suddenly said: "You first arrange a layer of soundproof enchantment or something, don't tell me you can't, even the untouchable in the house can do it, if you can't do it, don't mention anything to atone for your sins." β
When Baili Fengzhi heard this, he faintly understood in his heart, and immediately said: "The last general is Wu Xiu, although he doesn't understand spells, but there is a soundproof note on his body." β
She immediately took out a piece of rune paper with a silver seal on it and gently shredded it.
Immediately, an invisible soundproof barrier took shape, enveloping her and Xia Lie in it.
"What do you have to say?" Baili Fengzhi asked.
Although she still doubted whether Xia Lie was true or not, she also knew Xia Lie's sensitive and irritable temperament, so she planned to be obedient and find an opportunity to test at the same time.
If she hadn't been really suspicious, she would never have dared to tempt.
If she accidentally angered Xia Lie, her lifelong wish might be over.
"I'm thinking about it a lot these days."
Xia Lie looked at Baili Fengzhi and said with a low face: "Next, if you cooperate with me to act in a play, I will atone for your sins." β
Acting?
There was a hint of doubt in Baili Fengzhi's eyes, but she still asked, "What do you mean......"
"I'll tell you the details later."
Xia Lie's eyes were a little gloomy, "Now I can only tell you that I need a layer of identity cover, I can't just go to Dihong City as the prince Xia Lie, His Royal Highness doesn't want to die." β
"What?" Baili Fengzhi was slightly stunned and said, "Your Highness, as a prince, how can you ...... such a noble body?"
"Honorable? Noble fart! β
Xia Lie suddenly scolded a little excitedly, and then said in a low voice: "In short, I don't want to fall into this desperate situation again, otherwise what kind of bullshit prince, don't you still have to die?" β
He said coldly: "I want you to help me forge a new identity and make others think that I am not the prince, and the real prince is someone else." β
"Let others think you're not a prince?" Baili Fengzhi frowned slightly.
"Before it's really safe, I don't want to be on the cusp of being this bullshit prince."
Xia Lie said in a low voice: "Anyway, there are very few people who know the identity of my prince, as long as someone comes out to replace him, once everyone thinks that person is the prince, it will naturally be safer for me to hide." β
"I see what you mean."
Baili Fengzhi frowned and looked at Xia Lie, and said: "But now there are many people in Qingdu, I'm afraid they will suspect that you are the person of the Xia Hong clan who awakened this time, and it is difficult to reverse, right?" β
"A military general is stupid! Can't move your brain at all? Xia Lie snorted coldly.
"What His Highness said is that the last general is stupid, and I ask His Highness to tell me, and the last general is willing to hear the details."
Baili Fengzhi's eyes were flat, but she was not angry, she knew that Xia Lie was this kind of character.
Moreover, she suffered far more humiliation in the years she was born than she did at this time.
This prince is her only hope, and she naturally doesn't care.
"Then I'll talk to you about it."
Xia Lie said coldly: "For this period of time, because of your incompetence, His Royal Highness has been imprisoned by Lin Yue's pariah, in that dark underground secret room, although I don't know how long it has been, but I have thought a lot, in addition to being with that Lin Yuexu and the snake, I am also thinking about it......
"What if I survive, what if I happen to this again?
"Especially with such a swaggering identity as the prince, I don't know that many people are staring, is there really no one who dares to provoke?
"People's hearts are unpredictable, even Lin Yue and other grass mustard untouchables have means that cannot be underestimated, how many more terrible crises will they encounter in the face of a broader world in the future?
"And the best way to do that is to avoid it happening again!"
He gritted his teeth and said in a low voice: "So His Royal Highness thought that if I passed on the identity of this prince to someone else, I would naturally be safe." β
"It turns out that His Highness is imprisoned in an underground vault?" Baili Fengzhi took the opportunity to probe and said: "But I sent someone to check Lin Yue's house, but I didn't find the secret room. β
"That means you're sending a bunch of rubbish!"
Xia Lie glanced at her expressionlessly before he said, "Then Lin Yue used a dungeon talisman and a lotus-lantern-like treasure to arrange an enchantment underground, and the people you sent didn't find it, wouldn't you come to find it yourself?" β
Baili Fengzhi arched his hand and said: "Your Highness, the last general has also come to investigate, but he has not found it, please forgive me, the enchantment is indeed of a very high grade, and the last general has never noticed such a realm." β
But in her heart, she believed a little.
Because she had clearly felt the enchantment in the house at this time, with her realm, she couldn't even perceive the slightest movement.
If you really use the dungeon talisman to create an underground secret room, and then lay this kind of barrier, it will be really difficult to detect.
"Waste."
Xia Lie snorted coldly and said again: "However, this time I can get a lot of benefits from Lin Yue, a pariah, and it can be regarded as a blessing in disguise for His Highness." β
Advantage? Baili Fengzhi glanced at him, but he didn't study it in detail, but said: "Your Highness plans to find someone to disguise the identity of the prince and take this risk, which is understandable, but this may be difficult to achieve, there are indeed many people in Qingdu who suspect that you are the person of the Xia Hong clan who awakened this time......"
"It's very simple, just take advantage of this matter, and just calculate it."
Xia Lie said coldly: "I was famous in this Qingdu three months ago, but that day I accidentally fell into a miracle medicine that Lin Yue's untouchable people got out of nowhere, and the guard you sent was killed by him, and I almost died, but fortunately, he wanted to torture me, so I had the opportunity to ...... with him."
Baili Fengzhi immediately took the opportunity to test: "Miracle medicine? Your Highness, what kind of miracle medicine is it? β
"You ask me? I don't know? β
Xia Lie snorted, "That medicine is colorless and tasteless, just like water, every time I drink a sip, I will sleep for I don't know how long, that pariah also fed me a miracle medicine that makes me weak, so that I can never resist, I can only lie to him, delay time with him, until now the bloodline awakens, I finally find a chance to counter him." β
"Is it Soul Water?" Baili Fengzhi had a guess in his heart, "The other may be a medicine such as soft tendon powder and bone powder......
After comparing such details, the context is indeed clear and reasonable, and she believes it in her heart.
"Don't interrupt."
Xia Lie frowned, and said coldly: "I am telling you this to let you use this matter to pretend that I have been missing for three months, but it is a bureau set up by you. β
"My game?" Baili Fengzhi suddenly understood what he meant.
Xia Lie glanced at her and said lightly:
"I mean, after a while, you're going to find an opportunity to declareβ
"This time, I, Xia Lie, have been quietly missing for three months, not really missing, but you deliberately faked the illusion that I was missing.
"Including this time, you came to Qingdu to look for me and made such a big move, all these behaviors are just a bureau you set up in order to guide others to treat me as a prince, so as to hide and protect the real prince."
Xia Lie said in a low voice: "In this way, as long as I bring out another suitable person, I can pass on the identity of the prince, and the world will think that it is the real prince, and I will naturally be safe." β
Baili Fengzhi nodded thoughtfully: "This is indeed feasible." β
Although she still had doubts in her heart, she thought about it carefully and found that this method was indeed feasible.
Although she, the commander, came to Qingdu with great fanfare this time, because she knew that Xia Lie was not dead yet, and that her bloodline would awaken when she became an adult, she was not worried, and she was not so impatient.
This point has made many people wonder.
Just three months ago, Xia Lie's disappearance was also extremely strange, and he was imprisoned by Lin Yue, an ordinary man, which was already bizarre and unbelievable.
If you declare to the outside world in the future: "Actually, Xia Lie is not the real prince, but he just set up a situation to make you mistakenly think that he is, and this is done to protect the real prince." β
That way, it sounds more believable.
It's a plan in a plan.
"His Royal Highness is worthy of being a prince, and he is really smart."
After Baili Fengzhi figured it out, he couldn't help but praise softly.
She knew that although Xia Lie's temperament was a little distorted, he was indeed a smart person.
At the beginning, Xia Lie was obviously not treated well in Xia Mansion, he never went to private school, and no one taught him martial arts, but he only relied on his own martial arts to steal and eavesdrop on private learning when the young master of Xia Mansion was studying, and he had a good martial arts, and he also knew how to read and break words, which shows his intelligence.
"Then Your Highness, who are you going to let take your place as a prince?" Baili Fengzhi asked.
"Do you still need to think about it?"
Xia Lie glanced at her and said expressionlessly: "The best choice, of course, is that Lin Yue, it just so happens that he is also an orphan, and he is a mustard body, which is easier to fake." β
"Oh? The last general is dull, and please ask His Highness to elaborate. "Baili Fengzhi seems to really don't understand.
Xia Lie said coldly: "Just now, after I awakened my bloodline in the house, I used my supernatural powers to recover my strength and killed Lin Yue on the spot, and everyone present also saw it. β
He said in a low voice: "When the time comes, as long as Lin Yue appears again, it is impossible for the dead to be resurrected, and the world will naturally believe it...... Lin Yue is the key to this game, in order to hide him, he will let him fake his death, and at that time, he will naturally believe that he is the prince who awakened this time. β
Baili Fengzhi couldn't help but wonder: "His Highness killed Lin Yue, how could he still appear?" β
After she finished speaking, she saw the corners of Xia Lie's mouth slowly rising.
"Of course, I came to pretend to be Lin Yue, and with the bloodline of the Xia Hong clan as evidence, I can sit on Lin Yue's identity as the prince."
Xia Lie raised his chin slightly, "The innate supernatural power that came with the awakening of my bloodline, as long as it devours its essence and blood soul, it can be perfectly disguised as someone else, and it can naturally do this." β
Speaking of this, he said again: "By the way, don't you doubt that His Highness is true or false? Later, after I become that Lin Yue, I will bring him up for you to see. β
"Innate supernatural powers?" Baili Feng was sudden.
Despite what Charlie said, she still had some doubts in her heart.
"Your Highness."
Baili Fengzhi said meaningfully: "It won't be long before there will be a 'patrol angel' sent by the royal family to pick you up and go to Dihong City, and then the patrol angel will also test the authenticity of your bloodline, and the last general can claim that Xia Lie is just a fake prince used to disguise at that time, and after you become Lin Yue and let the patrol angel confirm the bloodline, it will also be easier for people to be convinced." β
Her words, in addition to offering advice, are also testing Xia Lie.
If it is a fake identity, once the patrol angel comes, it will inevitably be exposed, how can you not panic at this time?
"I see."
Xia Lie nodded lightly, but glanced at her and asked, "Are you testing me again?" β
Baili Fengzhi said with an unchanged expression: "The last general is just a plan." β
Naturally, she didn't dare to admit that she was still questioning Xia Lie.
"Hehe......"
Xia Lie sneered, but suddenly said in a cold voice: "The most important thing now is that if my innate supernatural powers want to change into someone else, I need to use some essence blood, you immediately hand over half of the essence blood to me, and Your Highness will atone for your sins." β
"What?" Baili Fengzhi's face changed.
