To Xu Ming's surprise, after such a long time, Shangjing Mansion Yin has not sent someone to search for himself who escaped from prison, as if he had forgotten that he was still locked up in the prison.

"Maybe I'm really unworthy!" Xu Ming stood on the roof of a room outside the Forbidden City in his night clothes, looking at the Forbidden City lit up under the night sky, and sighed slightly. Xu Ming pulled up his mask and got up and jumped onto the Forbidden City.

Before entering the Forbidden City, Xu Ming had already inquired about the location of the Thirteen Princes' Bedrooms, and after he entered the Forbidden City, he rushed to the Chengqian Palace in the east non-stop.

At night, the Forbidden City seemed a little cold and quiet, there was no one on the spacious palace roads, and the lights in many palaces gradually went out, and the entire Forbidden City began to darken. As they approached the dormitory, there were more people, and there were patrolling guards everywhere, and the eunuchs and palace maids were holding snacks and hot water and the like in the corridor. Occasionally, I could hear some insects chirping and birdsong, and I was soon swallowed up by the deep darkness.

Xu Ming did not dare to walk from the roof, it is said that there is a god archer on each of the four corners of the inner city of the Forbidden City, and an arrow with all his strength can even severely damage the power of returning to the virtual realm, and many assassins who walked from the roof have ended up being killed by an arrow.

Xu Ming pinched the trick of the blindfold, avoided the guards and quietly groped forward in the corridor, and came to the Chengqian Palace without incident.

"As far as Dongfang Yuntian is concerned, he shouldn't have such a high-level exercise. Xu Ming thought so and walked towards Chengqian Palace.

"Stop, who's who?" Suddenly, a majestic voice came from overhead.

Xu Ming was extremely embarrassed when he ran out of the Forbidden City, the night clothes he had just bought turned into a few rags and hung on his body, and his face still had the mud hanging on his face when he had just landed on the ground. Fortunately, the man just drove him out of the Forbidden City and didn't chase him anymore.

"Could it be that Chengqian Palace still has the power to return to the virtual realm?" Xu Ming limped back to Youjian - after he left Xu's Mansion, he found Youjian Inn in the capital. "Or am I too vegetable, even the Transformation God Realm can already easily see through my spells?" Xu Ming fell into deep thought, "It seems that the promotion of the realm is going to be put on the agenda." ”

Xu Ming, who was driven out of the Forbidden City, was relieved: if that strong man was in the Divine Transformation Realm, then it meant that his action of exploring the Forbidden City at night had been expected a long time ago, then Guan Chunuan would not be in any danger in the hands of the Thirteen Princes; And seeing that strong man only chases and doesn't fight, I think he knows his identity, so he must know Guan Chunuan's identity, so Guan Chunuan must be safe and sound in Chengqian Palace. Xu Ming lay on the bed and figured all this out, and then fell asleep peacefully.

"King Chen, people have already left the Forbidden City. "The old man who had just driven Xu Ming away returned to Chengqian Palace. Chen Wang smiled and said, "It's troublesome for Old Sun." The old man saluted and withdrew. "As soon as the epidemic has passed, there are insects that can't stand it anymore!" the young prince yawned and went to sleep in the back room.

"Do you know, Lord Ning was involved!" The next morning, Xu Ming heard such unbelievable news when he was eating in the hall on the first floor. Xu Ming listened sideways to the conversation of the two minor friars at the next table.

"Who is Lord Ning?" "It's the black Prince Ning who was scattered by the rebels when he was a child, and was later found back by the emperor." "Why was he involved?" "It is said that Xu Tianluo, the secretary of the Ministry of War, united several ministers to list the ten major crimes of Ning Wangye!" "Are there so many crimes? What did he do?" "He built a tomb in Frost Mountain to bury his brother-in-law, did not follow the etiquette law or anything, colluded with the Zheng faction of Liangguo or something, there are many of them, and there are all on the notice board outside. And I heard that the Holy Lord has issued an edict to call King Ning to the palace to question!" "It's been a bit unpeaceful in the past few days in Beijing!"

......

Xu Ming hurriedly finished breakfast and ran to the notice board in front of an inn to see the ten major crimes of Prince Ning. The front of the notice board was crowded with people, all pointing at a complaint that took up the entire board. Xu Ming squeezed into the crowd with difficulty and saw the piece of paper: Shocked, Prince Ning, who has always lived in a simple place, turned out to be such a person!

"The title party is really everywhere!" Xu Ming looked at the bright red characters at the top of the paper, and was a little shocked for a while. He found the ten major crimes for which King Ning was impeached. 1. If he does not follow the law of etiquette, Prince Ning has no fiefdom and is stranded in Beijing, trying to misbehave. 2. Privately build a tomb in Frost Mountain to bury non-royal relatives, and hide the dragon vein of Frost Mountain under the tomb, wanting to be holy. 3. Collusion with the Zheng faction of the Liang State, according to the confession of the servant of the Ning Wangfu, the King of Ning met with a Liang Guo monk a few days ago at night, and after investigation, it was likely to be a monk of the Liang Guo Zheng faction. ......

Xu Ming looked at this pile of crimes that were either "desire" or mysterious and mysterious, and shook his head again and again: "Can this Nima be taken out as a crime? It is really a crime that wants to be added, so there is no excuse! If this can bring down Prince Ning, then it is better not to sit on the throne of King Ning-this is that His Majesty the Emperor has long not wanted you to sit." ”

Sure enough, at noon, news came out that King Ning was confined at home. This kind of punishment is the same as no punishment, Xu Ming breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that it is not Emperor Hongzhi who wants to get King Ning, so who is it? King Ning's enemy, or the remnants of the traitorous party back then?" Xu Ming rubbed his temples and continued to cultivate.

In the past few days, Xu Ming has visited and inquired about many inns, but he has not asked about the Wu shaman with the cat. "He should have continued north. Xu Ming didn't look any further, he decided to wait for Guan Chunuan to come out of the Chengqian Palace, and then immediately go out of Beijing, something big might happen in Beijing, and he was not interested in things that had nothing to do with him.

On the third day of Lord Ning's involvement, an old friend of Xu Ming found Xu Ming.

"Brother Muyun, I haven't seen you for a long time!" Xu Ming was not very surprised by Mu Yun Tuohai who suddenly appeared at the door, he lived in an inn, and if Mu Yun Tuohai happened to be in the capital, he would definitely know that he was coming.

"Brother Xu hasn't seen you for a long time, Silong Mountain has been farewell, and it's been almost two years now!" Mu Yun Tuohai and Xu Ming sat opposite each other.

Xu Ming still has a good impression of Mu Yun Tuohai, Xu Ming said: "Yes, in Silong Mountain that day, Brother Mu Yun gained a lot!"

Mu Yun Tuohai's mouth was almost grinning to the root of his ears, and he still forcibly suppressed his joy and pretending to be forced: "Where is it, but Brother Xu later entered the Ziyang Sect, and it is impressive that he was promoted to a true disciple in just one year!"

Xu Ming thought to himself: Don't say it, I'm a little ashamed when you say this. He hurriedly waved his hand: "Don't dare to be, don't dare to be, luck." "The Oscar night of the outer door competition, the ninety points of the inner door competition, have spread all over the circle of monks in the Great Jingguo!" Mu Yun Tuohai said sincerely: "Brother Xu should not be modest!" Xu Ming was very devastated, he knew that he was so famous, looking at Mu Yun Tuohai's sincere eyes, Xu Ming actually had a deep sense of guilt in his heart: I really don't deserve it!

Xu Ming and Muyun Tuohai finished blowing each other, and they talked about the things of the past two years and the purpose of coming to Beijing, of course, Xu Ming didn't say anything about finding a cat, he only said that he and Guan Chunuan came to travel, after all, in the monk world, it is not uncommon to encounter bottlenecks and go out to travel.

After Xu Ming finished speaking, he asked Muyun Tuohai: "What is Brother Muyun here to do in Beijing?" Muyun Tuohai looked at Xu Ming, lowered his head and said in a low voice: "According to what we have heard, it is very likely that something big will happen in Shangjing, and my father wants me to come to Shangjing to preside over all the affairs of the Muyun family in Shangjing." ”

Xu Ming looked at Mu Yun Tuohai, Xu Ming knew that with the strength of the Mu Yun family, he would definitely know more than himself, Xu Ming continued to ask: "What is going to happen in Beijing, Brother Mu Yun, have you heard of it?" Mu Yun Tuohai looked around vigilantly, stretched out his left hand and calculated, before he said in a low voice: "It is said that the Zheng faction of Liangguo wants to unite with the remnants of the rebel army to assassinate the emperor!"

Xu Ming's eyes widened in shock: "How can the Forbidden City be so easy to enter? There are countless masters in the city, why did they assassinate the emperor?"

"It is said that the assassination of the emperor is just a pretense, and they have another purpose, but such secrets cannot be inquired about. Muyun Tuohai straightened up, shook his head, and signaled not to continue the topic. Xu Ming also nodded.

"What does this Liangguo Zheng faction mean, I see that there is also a statement outside that Prince Ning colluded with the Zheng faction. Xu Ming asked Muyun Tuohai.

Mu Yun Tuohai coughed: "The so-called Zheng faction refers to the party headed by Zheng Xiujie, the right minister of the Liangguo court, who admires and suppresses Dajing and becomes the first big country in Dongshengzhou; Emperor Liangwu was the strongest faction in the season, so there was an alliance between Emperor Liangwu and Emperor Jingxian, and there was the stability of the two kingdoms of Liangjing for hundreds of years. After the death of Emperor Xianwu, the Zheng faction gradually became stronger, and there were more voices in the Liangguo court to suppress Jingguo. Recently, the activities of the Zheng faction have become more frequent because the core figure of the Ji faction, Liu Ancheng, the Taifu of Emperor Wu, suddenly chose to be neutral and no longer favored the Ji faction, which greatly reduced the strength of the Ji faction, and even the emperor of the Liang State acquiesced to the Zheng faction's plan. Xu Ming nodded, it seems that the cause of the discord between the two countries of Liangjing has long existed, and the *** of this incident should be the Jinling banquet two years ago. Xu Ming didn't care about the state affairs of Dajingguo, but he still couldn't figure out why the thirteen princes wanted to close Guan Chunuan, whether this was Emperor Hongzhi's indication or his own plan.

Suddenly, Mu Yun Tuohai looked at Xu Ming, and said to him with a somewhat bad face: "Brother Xu, I see that your Yin Tang is black, and there is a great omen between your eyebrows, you will have a bloody disaster in the next few days, and your relatives and friends may also suffer because of this!" Xu Ming looked at Mu Yun Tuohai in surprise: "How can you see it?" "I got a magical power called "Qimen Dunjia" in the secret realm of Silong Mountain, which can be auspicious and avoid harm, and I have also learned the art of physiognomy. Brother Xu still has to be careful recently!" Xu Ming nodded and arched his hand slightly: "Thank you, I'll pay attention." ”

"My relatives and friends will also suffer, but in this Shangjing City, what other relatives and friends do I have? Could it be that Chu Nuan is in danger?" Xu Ming was thinking about it, when a quick knock on the door suddenly sounded. In was a servant with an inn. The little guy seemed to have something to report to Mu Yun Tuohai, he looked at Xu Ming, a little hesitant. "It's okay, Brother Xu is not an outsider, just say anything!" Mu Yun Tuohai raised his hand and motioned for the little guy to continue. As he spoke, he took out a small note from his sleeve: "The news just came, the prince was summoned to Beijing, and he was assassinated when he passed through Frost Mountain. The little guy looked at Xu Ming and then at Muyun Tuohai: "It may be done by King Ning." ”

"King Ning?" Mu Yun Tuohai frowned as he looked at the note, "Got it, you go down!" The little guy bowed his head and exited the room.

"I remember that there are four masters of the Transformation God Realm next to the crown prince, and it is usually difficult for the power of the Void Realm to get close to him!" Xu Ming looked at Mu Yun Tuohai with some puzzlement.

After reading the note, Mu Yun Tuohai made a fire in his palm to burn the paper ball, and he looked at Xu Ming: "That's why I suspect King Ning - King Ning is the person with the highest combat power in Shangjing at present, and he is a person who has returned to the virtual realm!" Xu Ming suddenly worried about his cheap sister Chen Yuanyuan.

In the evening, there was a big news in the palace: King Ning and the crown prince were sent into the palace to give a lecture, and even the thirteen princes were present. As a result, the crown prince decided that the assassin was King Ning, and that the mastermind behind it was likely to be the Thirteen Princes. Shengshang Longyan was furious and asked Jinyi Wei to thoroughly investigate the Chengqian Palace and King Ning's villa, King Ning was imprisoned in the prison, and even the thirteen princes were driven to the South Palace. There is also a piece of news that is not too big: the crown princess is seriously injured and her life is in danger.

When Xu Ming learned the news, there was already a curfew in the capital, and there was not much light in the Forbidden City in the distance. Xu Ming squinted his eyes as he looked at the cold and terrifying Forbidden City under the darkness.
