Xiao Yibai smiled at his younger brother, seeing his gloomy face and the appearance that a volcano was about to erupt at any time, he quickly made an apologetic gesture with a hippie smile, he knew that his younger brother came back this time to take him out of the imperial capital, and even let Yun Xiao fall into the hands of Mingxi by calculation, he took all the trouble to come back with all the adventures for himself, but he still couldn't respond to his brother's expectations.

In fact, since the death of Gao Chengchuan, the seemingly stable regime has been surging, the two dukes and three marquis have continued to put pressure on Mingxi, and several big city lords have stayed in the imperial city and have not left, in addition, some of the magnates who did not move to the imperial capital thirty-six years ago and have been stranded in the four major realms have also come uninvited.

The death of the governor of the forbidden army, the disappearance of the lord of the military cabinet, the resignation of the commander-in-chief of the navy, the vacancy of the commander-in-chief of the three armed forces made a huge vacancy at the peak of power in an instant, and ambitious politicians were gearing up, all playing their own petty calculations.

At this moment, Mingxi is already an internal and external trouble, and the slightest carelessness will cause chaos in the world, although the biggest threat at the moment comes from the Heavenly Realm, but as the only royal family in Feiyuan throughout the ages, the root essence of the Ming Dynasty also originates from the Heavenly Realm!

This contradictory relationship is very delicate, as long as someone with a heart takes advantage of it a little, and uses it to build momentum, the rule of the royal family will soon fall into a crisis, if he is also taken away from Tianyu City by his younger brother at such a time, the imperial capital will definitely fall into an uproar, and Mingxi will be questioned because of this.

Frankly speaking, this was the biggest reason that forced him to stay, and he could not let the courtiers who were still drunk with infighting act recklessly at such a critical moment.

The painting boat quietly sailed towards the central island, and several people on the boat were silent until the hull of the boat shook slightly, and the soldiers outside the door cautiously reported: "Your Majesty, the painting boat has docked, and the boat ladder has been lowered, do you want to get off the boat now?"

Mingxi only came back to his senses from a long period of distraction, but his face was haggard, and he looked in a very bad mood, he slowly stood up and walked to Xiao Qianye's side, his eyes instantly dimmed, and he muttered helplessly: "I have arranged for Mu Xizhao to be strict in the inner island, since you insist on taking Yun Xiao away, I have no way to stop you, but I can't let you go so blatantly, even if it is acting, you have to find a way to escape from Xingluo Lake by yourself." ”

Xiao Qianye naturally knew his situation very well, and knew that he could only take a step back at this time, so he replied: "There is a sword spirit, as long as Your Majesty puts away the sword of the corona, I can leave." ”

"Oh, the sword of the corona...... Is it really restrictive to you?" Mingxi pondered in a long tone, remembering the question that the Great Annihilation City Lord had discussed with him very seriously not long ago, the city lord copied the ancient secret technique on the inscription from the Yangchuan Sun Temple, and begged him to allow him to use the royal secret method to assist him, and even did not hesitate to use the remnants of the Ten Halls of Hades that were almost completely destroyed, so that a "golden line" was densely spread over Tianyu City The net, he originally thought that the old city lord was just doing useless work, after all, the actinization technique of the Heavenly Realm was too magical, coming and going without a trace, and there was no way to hunt down and stop it, but now listening to Xiao Qianye's casual mention, it seems that that kind of magic really played a role?

Xiao Qianye did not evade, but nodded solemnly, and reminded: "Most of the spells that can work on me can also restrict the Night King, you might as well try it, in case the Night King no longer trusts me one day, or if he is troublesome and wants to make a comeback and directly sacrifice the whole realm, maybe that kind of thing can still turn the tide." ”

"Then thank you Pavilion Master Xiao for reminding me. Mingxi just answered quietly and lightly, he didn't have much hope for the "golden thread" technique of the Great Annihilation City Lord before, but seeing that Emperor Zhong also agreed with this statement with silence, he was still a little relieved in his heart after all, since the disaster of the Heavenly Realm befell Feiyuan, they could only be beaten passively, if there was really a way to compete with it, maybe he didn't have to put all his vitality on Xiao Qianye alone!

Xiao Qianye took the lead in pushing the door out, and the emperor who had transformed into a god crack technique also quietly dispersed at this moment, and the guards outside the door saw that it was him who came out, and hurriedly retreated a few steps in a trembling manner, and he didn't dare to come out.

Mingxi followed him out of the door, suddenly remembered something, turned his head and pointed to Princess Mingshu, who had shrunk into a ball in the room and had not yet recovered her senses, and instructed Xiao Yibai: "There should be clean clothes in the sealing platform, but I sent all the maids back before, leaving only Zhu Yan and Mu Xizhao to guard, you can take her to find Mrs. Yun first, you can only trouble Mrs. to work hard, and help Mingshu change and wash, her appearance is really unorthodox, and in winter, she is easy to catch a cold." ”

Xiao Yibai immediately dodged out to help the fifth princess, and smiled at his friend with satisfaction: "You still care about your sister, why do you have to be so indifferent?"

Mingxi pursed his lips and didn't reply, his face was filled with a deep smile - this friend who met at a young age, this friend who had been in the Wind Demon for many years, regardless of the reason and regardless of the consequences, could he really be so naïve and think that he was a kind person, right?

Is there really such a stupid person? Obviously his hands are stained with blood, and he simply thinks that he, as the mastermind behind the scenes, will be clean?

Is it that Xiao Yibai doesn't understand him at all, or has he never really understood Xiao Yibai?

Mingxi's subtle expression was seen by Xiao Qianye, but he was directly ignored by Xiao Yibai's smile, he carefully tightened the blanket draped on the fifth princess, and gently helped her up and walked towards the inner island together.

At the same time, waiting on the shore was Mu Xizhao, who was wearing a silver-black military uniform unique to the military pavilion, and when he saw Xiao Qianye striding down from the painting boat, he couldn't help but straighten his back.

"It's you......" Xiao Qianye was slightly surprised, finding that his sight and hearing had recovered, Mu Xizhao immediately stepped forward, raised his head to meet the other party's gaze, and caught a glimpse of Mingxi behind him, and many words could only be forcibly swallowed back.

Xiao Qianye saw that his eyes were full of gratitude and he didn't dare to speak, knowing that he had a hard time, he suddenly reached out and patted Mu Xizhao's shoulder, looked up and down, and said with a smile: "This dress suits you very well, it looks better than the original forbidden army." ”

Mu Xizhao looked up and down in his heart, secretly looking at his expression - he seemed to be a lot less energetic, and the whole person seemed to be bound by something invisible, revealing deep exhaustion.

Before he could think about it, anxious footsteps came from behind him, Yun Qiushui and Tianche had been taken out of the sealing platform on the island by Zhu Yan, he pinched it very accurately, and immediately withdrew when he heard that the painting boat was docking, and now he could return to the shore to pick up the car.

"Senior uncle, senior brother!" Xiao Qianye strode up to meet him, Yun Qiushui saw that it was him who came, he was surprised and delighted, it was difficult to hide the collapse in his tone, he grabbed his hand and kept working hard, he was about to cry out in a hurry, and he couldn't even speak clearly, "You're here, you, it's good if you're here, Xiao'er was locked up by them, she has chains on her body, and there are some neck rings, it will explode, Qianye, you help Xiao'er, you help Xiao'er......"

"Neck ring?" Xiao Qianye chuckled in his heart, how could he not know what it was after eight years in the military pavilion, and Mingxi heard those two words in the rear, his eyes sank, and he glanced at Zhu Yan suspiciously.

Zhu Yan's face did not change, and there was a sly smile in his heart, at this moment, Yun Qiushui did not have the heroic posture of the Kunlun Great Peak Lord in the rumor, and he was completely a little woman's posture, and he even ignored the identity of the elder, dragging his junior disciples and begging bitterly.

Such a ridiculous scene, he is the most happy to see.

Xiao Qianye turned around, his face was slightly red with anger, his eyes flashed with unconcealable anger, and he asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty doesn't know what the 'neck ring' is?"

Mingxi also seemed to hesitate, as if he had heard of it somewhere, and he couldn't remember it for a while.

Xiao Yibai hurried over and whispered in his ear: "Mingxi, that is a kind of ring made by the armory that is put around the neck, which was originally used on the felony prisoners of the King Water Prison, but that thing is extremely unstable, and it has exploded repeatedly and accidentally, not only the prisoners will be blown up, but even the prison of the King Water Prison has been blown up several times, and then it is not allowed to be used, and it has been abandoned." ”

Mingxi's mind turned, he looked directly at Zhu Yan, and asked in a deep voice, "Zhu Yan, what's the matter?"

Zhu Yan's originally joyful mind was recalled by Mingxi's stern words, and he hurriedly lowered his head and took out the wording that had been prepared a long time ago: "Back to Your Majesty, my subordinates have mentioned to you before that Yun Xiao is a member of the Lingfeng Clan, and her subordinates are of foreign blood, and it is indeed difficult to bring her back without hurting her, so I deliberately went to the armory to apply for something, Your Majesty, please rest assured, the armory has already transformed the old neck ring, and it will not explode as easily as before." ”

"Zhu is tired. Mingxi gritted his teeth, this guy did mention this to himself, but he never expected that the "thing" in his mouth would be such a dangerous existence!

Only then did Zhu Yan feel a trace of cold sweat on his forehead burst out uncontrollably, facing the silent emperor, there was a boundless depression, which was more terrifying than the punishment he received in the water prison of the king of binding, and even made him shudder even more than the ruthless Gao Chengchuan.

Xiao Qianye's gaze swept lightly on Mingxi's face, and he immediately understood that this should be just Zhu Yan's personal self-inflicted opinion, but he still couldn't hide his anger, gritted his teeth and reprimanded: "Your Majesty is not too conniving with the people around you?

Mingxi closed his eyes slightly, Zhu Yan already had ill intentions towards Yun Xiao, and the two of them had a big fight in the Drag Pavilion, Xiao Qianye naturally hated him for a long time, but although this person has a big problem in character and style, after all, he is one of the three spirits of the foreign race, and he has the top secret skills of the White Sect, and he has even experienced the test body of the human experiment in the Water Prison of the Binding King, he has to admit that at this time of employing people, even if Zhu Yan is such a "male pet" who gives him a headache, it is indeed a rare and valuable talent.

After a while, Mingxi finally let out a long sigh, with a hint of cold chill in his voice, stretched out his right hand, pointed his index finger at Zhu Yan's eyes, but smiled strangely and groaned: "Zhu Yan, you have transgressed." ”

Before the words fell, a light golden sword light flashed through Mingxi's fingertips, which turned out to be a faint coronal sword, directly piercing Zhu Yan's right eye!

The blood instantly stained his cheeks, and then dripped down it, wetting half of his clothes.

Zhu Yan was motionless, his other eye was not blinking, his expression was as cold as ice, and even if such a punishment directly shattered his right eye, he could only swallow all the pain back.

He knew that in his capacity, Emperor Tianzun had been merciful in giving such a level of punishment.

"Pavilion Master Xiao, please, Miss Yun has been waiting for you for a long time. Mingxi didn't look at him again, took the initiative to step forward and push open the thick wooden door for Xiao Qianye, then pointed to the next room, and instructed Xiao Yibai, "You take Mingshu over to rest for a while, Mu Xizhao, you guard here, no one is allowed to come in without my order." ”

"Yes. Mu Xizhao received the order in a low voice, and without looking at Zhu Yan, who was covered in blood, he retreated to the door.

Xiao Yibai sighed helplessly, Mingxi has always been decisive in his work, he didn't say much, he grabbed the fifth princess with one hand and smiled apologetically at Yun Qiushui, and said: "Madam, the fifth princess accidentally fell into the water, please take her to the room next to her to change into clean clothes, you are a woman here, I can only work hard for you." ”

Yun Qiushui found out that the person standing next to him was Princess Mingshu, who was frantically pulling her and shouting for help that day, and quickly tightened the blanket on her body again, and said, "Why did you fall into the water on such a cold day?" Quick, come on, go and change your clothes first to avoid catching a cold." ”

"Trouble ma'am. Xiao Yibai politely pointed to the next room, then turned his head to look at the main entrance of the Fengxin Terrace, hesitated, and finally chose to wait outside.

Tianche was on his left, Zhu Yan was on his right, and Mu Xizhao was right in front of him, the three of them were all silent, Xiao Yibai felt a little embarrassed, took a deep breath, scratched his head, and simply walked to the lake, found a rockery, and rested against it.
