[On the tenth day of the second month of the tenth year of Daqian Jingyi, Zishi, Tsing Yi Wei Temporary Prison]

Xu Ke was leaning against the wall, bowing his head and pondering, when suddenly the cloud shadow bead in his arms shone brightly. Almost at the same time, the cell door was pushed open from the outside, and a middle-aged man in a cyan robe strode into the door.

"It's you!" Xu Ke said happily: "Brother He Mao, aren't you from Sang Kingdom?

The person who came was none other than Tadayuki Kamo, who was known as the "first onmyoji of the Mulberry Country". He Mao saw Xu Ke's embarrassed appearance of his hands and feet being tortured, he couldn't help frowning slightly, clenched his fists slightly at Xu Ke, and said with a smile: "Brother Xu, if I still stay in Sang Kingdom, I'm afraid I won't have the chance to see you again in this life!"

Xu Ke knew what he was referring to, and couldn't help but sigh: "Brother He Mao, Xu Mou lost a move, cough......!

He Mao walked in front of Xu Ke, only to see his slender fingers gently caress the iron chains and shackles on Xu Ke's hands, feet and neck, and the thumb-thick iron bar was broken in response to his hand, only to hear a few "cangchang" sounds, and all those chains have fallen to the ground. The means of "the first onmyoji of the Sang country" are really extraordinary!

"Brother Xu, you didn't miss a move, you just ...... Underestimating the evil in people's hearts!" He Mao said slowly, the look on his face also revealed a lot of helplessness. It can be seen that at this time, He Mao is fully aware of the grievances and injustices suffered by Xu Ke.

"Brother He Mao, when did you arrive in Chang'an? Now that the sun is rising in the east, the clouds are shining in thousands of miles, and the heavens and the earth have been restored to their original state, what is the situation in your Mulberry Kingdom? Yoshida...... Is the Queen Mother okay?" Xu Ke had just taken off the restraints of his hands and feet, and then asked.

He Mao Zhongxing couldn't help but shake his head and said with a smile: "Brother Xu, right now, you yourself are not out of danger, and you are so concerned about the safety of our Empress Dowager Yoshida......"

Xu Ke's face was slightly embarrassed, and he couldn't help but stretch out his hand and scratch his forehead, and said softly: "I'm also asking by the way! Qianguo and Sang were originally close neighbors, and the two countries were clothed with water and depended on each other. The safety of the Empress Dowager Yoshida, as a citizen of Qianguo, should be concerned about one or two ......"

He Mao saw that Xu Ke was busy defending himself for a joke, chattered, and hurriedly waved his hand to block it: "Okay, okay, Empress Dowager Yoshida is very good! Brother Xu, don't worry!"

He Mao also said: "As you said, after the heaven and earth returned to normal, the whole territory of our Sang Kingdom was jubilant, and now, the people are already busy for this year's spring ploughing! Empress Dowager Yoshida and His Majesty the Emperor are in good health and health, and everything is fine. I came this time to conclude a mutual assistance alliance with the emperor of your Qianguo on the order of the Empress Dowager......"

Xu Ke said: "Mutual aid covenant, well, this is good! The two countries will forever form an alliance from now on, help each other, and never infringe!"

He Mao said: "Don't talk about these things yet, Brother Xu, the spirit bead in your arms seems to be calling you!"

Xu Ke then remembered the matter of the cloud shadow bead, he hurriedly took out the spirit bead from his arms, only to hear the eager shout of the cloud shadow real person from the bead:

"I said Lao Xu, do you still want to come back! I have already called you twice, this is the third time I remind you that your current situation is very dangerous, come back quickly!"

"Don't think that the Cloud Shadow Bead can make you stay in the future time and space for the rest of your life, its power also has a time limit, after a long time, be careful that the Cloud Shadow Bead loses its spiritual power, if this happens, you will never come back!"

"Lao Xu, did you hear me?!"

"Okay, I hear you, Brother Shadow, I'll be back!" Xu Ke hurriedly agreed.

Indeed, it was time for Xu Ke to leave. Since the people of this world are bent on putting him to death, and they have enthusiastically prepared a set of "Ling Chi Punishment" for him, if he doesn't leave at this time, when will he stay?

Originally, he couldn't rest assured of the four women in his family. He had already thought of accompanying them like this, until he grew old with them, and left this world with them. But now, Yun Ying Zhenren has clearly told him that the power of Cloud Shadow Bead to travel through time and space is actually limited in time, and if it is delayed for a long time, he may not be able to go back from now on. And here and now, he is already a death row prisoner awaiting execution, and he will be sentenced to ten thousand deaths in three days. If he stays here, not only will he be worried about his life at any time, but he will also add to the burden on several women in the family.

No matter how reluctant he is in his heart, it is time to go!

Xu Ke sat cross-legged, his thumb and index finger of both hands against the ends of the cloud shadow bead, secretly lucky, and a stream of mixed yuan true qi slowly remained in the spirit bead. As long as the true qi is infused to a certain level and the power of the spirit bead is stimulated to cross time and space, he can instantly return to the God King Pavilion ten years ago.

Xu Ke looked at He Mao Zhongxing and said with a smile: "Brother He Mao, thank you for coming to untie the chains for me, this spirit bead has summoned me three times, and now I really want to go back." The four ladies in my family asked Brother He Mao to take care of one or two of them. After I return to Chang'an ten years ago, whenever I have some free time, I will definitely go to Sangguo to visit Brother Ren......"

"It's okay to go back!" He Mao suddenly lowered his head and sighed: "Anyway, Miss Murong is about to enter the palace and become the queen!"

"What!" Xu Ke was shocked when he heard this, he immediately collected his true qi, put the cloud shadow bead that had dimmed again back into his arms, and asked anxiously:

"You say Yan'er wants to be the queen?!"

He Mao said: "I arrived in Chang'an today, and I got the news at that time. At noon tomorrow, there will be a banquet in the Xingqing Palace to welcome Miss Murong Yan into the palace, and the emperor will hold a ceremony to canonize the queen in the Zichen Palace......"

"This is impossible!" Xu Ke shook his head and said, "Yan'er will never be willing to be Li Xi's queen!" Brother He Mao, are you ...... Did you hear it wrong?"

He Mao said: "It's true! I don't believe you can go to Xingqing Palace to have a look, the lights are shining brightly at this time, and everyone is busy preparing for tomorrow's post-album ceremony." ”

Xu Ke was puzzled: "Yan'er, how did Yan'er enter the palace to be the queen?

He Mao said indifferently: "As far as I know, today, the emperor sent Song Jinhua to send the edict of conviction against you to your mansion. After Miss Murong heard this, she followed Song Jinhua into the palace to face the saint. She only talked to the emperor for a few words before withdrawing, and afterwards, Song Jinhua also made a special trip to escort Miss Murong back to her house. Subsequently, news came from the palace that the emperor would marry Miss Murong into the palace tomorrow...... From this point of view, it should be Miss Murong who took the initiative to ask the emperor to marry her, right?"

Xu Ke thought in his heart, Yan'er is by no means a person who is greedy for vanity, after she heard the emperor's edict, she entered the palace to see Li Ci in a hurry, and hastily agreed to marry Li Ci. This must be because Yan'er knew Li Xiyi for a long time

Straight to her heart, I thought that in order to save me, I didn't hesitate to make this decision.

He couldn't help but sigh to himself, cough! Yan'er, Yan'er, how can you wronged yourself so much in order to save me! In order to save my life, you would rather sacrifice yourself to enter the palace and marry a man you don't like. Do you know that if you really become a "queen" of his Li Ci, you will be locked in a cage for the rest of your life, and you will end up in depression and grief......

When he thought of this, he felt extremely indignant and uncomfortable when his chest was neutral. He raised his right hand and slammed his palm into the wall next to him, causing the wall ash to fall.

"Okay, you Li Ci, you dare to take advantage of people's danger and coerce my Yan'er to enter the palace! No, I must not let you succeed in your treacherous scheme!" Xu Ke said angrily, and was about to go out in a big stride.

He wanted to hurry back to his Xu Mansion to prevent his Yan'er from falling into the clutches of the devil.

He Mao stood up in front of Xu Ke and waved his hand:

"Brother Xu, you can't leave this place right now!"

Needless to say, Xu Ke can also understand that he is still a key criminal who has committed the "heinous crime", and this He Mao Zhongxing only came to visit with the permission of the emperor. If Xu Ke went out and went home like this, how could He Mao explain to the emperor and Shen Huan?

If he didn't want He Mao to become a prison robber, at this time, Xu Ke still had to stay in prison.

Xu Ke sighed, and had to sit down on the ground, he naturally didn't want to bother this old friend.

He Mao comforted: "Brother Xu, your emperor asked me to convey a word to you. He said that you only need to wait until he and Miss Murong get married, and then you can go home safely......"

"This ......" Xu Ke got up again and walked around the cell, he said angrily:

"Brother He Mao, I, Xu Ke, look up between heaven and earth, crisscrossing the four seas, how can I rely on a woman's sacrifice in exchange for my own life?!"

At this time, he was both sad and angry in his heart, and said in his heart, Didn't you Li Xi think that I was a demon traitor? He also said that I was a person who was "a traitor like loyalty, and a great evil like a good", how could I ...... Now for the sake of a woman, I can overturn all my previous convictions? And let me "go home safely"? It's ridiculous and ridiculous! It turns out that you all know very well in your hearts that I have nothing to do with those demons at all! This is nothing more than a conspiracy!

He Mao Zhongxing also paced back and forth a few steps, thought for a moment in his heart, and said:

"Brother Xu, think about it, is there any other way to prevent Miss Murong from entering the palace tomorrow without you leaving this place?"

"This ......" Xu Ke anxiously walked around the cell, and for a while, he really couldn't think of a better plan in his heart.

He thought in his heart, if he didn't come out of the house, then he could only hope that Sister Hu and Yiqing would persuade Yan'er. Or, he could ask He Mao Zhongxing to go to Xu's house to pass the word on his behalf, saying that it was his own intention, so that Yan'er must not enter the palace tomorrow, and let them just go away by themselves!

However, Yan'er's personality is best known to him, although she looks weak on the outside, she is extremely strong on the inside. Once she decides, no one can change it. I'm afraid that whether it is He Mao Zhongxing, or Sister Hu, Sister Qing, and Zibei, no matter how much they persuade each other, it will be useless.

......

......

Almost at the same time, in the Honghu residence in Xu's house, as Xu Ke expected, Hu Yiyi, Yiqing and Yao Zibei were all trying to persuade Murong Yan not to enter the palace tomorrow.

Yi Qing said: "Third sister, how can you agree to the Dog Emperor to be his wife? That Dog Emperor has bad intentions and treats Brother Xu so badly, obviously he is coming for you! You also took the initiative to send yourself to the door, didn't you just fulfill his wish?"

Yao Zibei also said anxiously: "Yes, third sister! Second sister is right! If you marry someone you don't like, how can you live in this life!"

Hu Yiyi said anxiously: "Third sister, you just entered the palace today, and the emperor will perform the post-book ceremony tomorrow." He is in such a hurry, he must have premeditated, we must not fall for their tricks! You don't want to enter the palace tomorrow, let's wait a while!"

Murong Yan lowered her head and sighed: "Eldest sister, Your Majesty has issued a will, and the courtiers and people already know it, I'm afraid it won't work if you don't enter the palace tomorrow......"

Hu Yiyi said: "It's really not good, let's just go out overnight and leave! I see, this Chang'an City is really not a good place to stay!"

Yiqing and Yao Zibei also echoed: "What the eldest sister said is right, let's simply leave Chang'an and leave!"

Murong Yan shook her head and sighed, "Let's go, what about my disease-free brother?"

Yiqing said: "There is a spirit bead on this sick wood, which can take him through time and space at will. He only needs to activate his True Qi when the time comes, and he will naturally be able to return to his original world safely. Actually, he should have gone back a long time ago......"

Murong Yan said: "I heard Lord Song say that my disease-free brother was locked up in the edict at this time, and his hands, feet, and neck were all chained. He couldn't move all over his body, so how could he urge the spirit beads? Besides, that Shen Huan was not a good thing! If he secretly made it bad, the disease-free brother didn't have to wait until three days later, and his life would be in danger in front of him!"

Yiqing said: "It's better for me to go to the edict prison, rescue Brother Xu first, and then let's leave Chang'an!"

Hu Yiyi shook his head and said, "No! This is too dangerous! At present, there must be heavy guards outside the small disease-free cell, and Shen Huan's kung fu is not ordinary." If you are not careful, it will be difficult to protect yourself, in case you have a mistake, you will not be able to feel at ease......"

Yiqing hurriedly said: "But...... If the third sister marries into the deep palace, this matter will be known to Brother Xu, and he will ...... How can you rest assured?!"

"......" Hu Yiyi was also speechless.

"Eldest sister, second sister, fourth sister, you don't need to persuade me!" Murong Yan said resolutely: "I know that you are all for my good. But now, not to mention the late-night robbery, even outside our house has been surrounded by guards. I'm afraid that from the outside of the house to the gate of the city, His Majesty has sent people to keep an eye on it. Let's not take any risks, tomorrow, I must enter the palace!"

"Third sister......" Yiqing wanted to persuade again, but was stopped by Murong Yan waving his hand. Hu Yiyi, Yao Zibei and Murong Yan have been together for a long time, and they all know Murong Yan's temperament, and they know that no matter how much they say, it is useless. Everyone couldn't help but bow their heads, and their faces were full of sadness.

Murong Yan raised her head and said to the three sisters with a smile: "Eldest sister, second sister, fourth sister, you should be happy for me! I entered the palace to be the queen after all! After all, I am under one person and above ten thousand, and countless glory and wealth are waiting for me......!

Smiling and smiling, Murong Yan's eyes were full of tears

Flower.

......

After everyone dispersed, Murong Yan lay down on her wooden bed, she stared sideways out of the window, at this time, the stars and moon were shining, and the night sky was extremely moist. The world is no longer demonized, and the heavens and the earth have returned to normal, but at this moment, the sadness in her heart and the tears in her eyes are like a mountain spring in a deep valley, bubbling out, and she can't stop for a moment......

She stared blankly at the starry sky at night, and said silently in her heart:

"Brother Wuxi, don't worry, I only like you in my life. When you are safely released from prison, I will kill myself immediately, and I will never let that person stain my innocent body!"

"Ahem, brother, it's a pity that I have been married to you for so long, but you have never slept with me for a night......"

......

......

Another hour passed, and it was already an ugly hour at this moment, and it was noon in another four hours, that is, when the emperor married Murong Yan and entered the palace. However, in Tsing Yiwei's temporary prison, Xu Ke and He Maozhong walked around the cell countless times, but they still couldn't think of a better plan.

The two sat down on the ground, and He Mao Zhongxing had to pat Xu Ke's shoulder, and said helplessly:

"Brother Xu, it's better for you to urge the power of the spirit bead and go back to your ten years ago! After you leave, I will inform your ladies and ask them to leave the city as soon as possible!"

In fact, He Mao didn't know that Li Ci had already sent someone to secretly surround the Xu Mansion. Xu Ke has the help of the spirit bead, which can disappear in an instant. But most of the four female dependents in his Xu Mansion are mediocre martial arts people, and he is really unsure whether he can keep them all out safely. Moreover, as a special envoy of the Sang State, although he was valued by the Emperor Daqian, if he annoyed Li Xi because of this incident, it would inevitably be greatly damaged to the alliance between the Sang State and the Qianguo State in the future......

"No! Now that I'm going back like this, I'm not at ease!" Xu Ke waved his hand and resolutely refused to allow it.

He Mao wanted to say a few more words, but when the words came to his lips, he still stopped.

Xu Ke suddenly asked, "Brother He Mao, do you remember what you said to me about the wheel of life before?"

He Mao nodded and said, "Remember, you also told me at that time that the occurrence and development of all things in this world have different trajectories, so it can be called the 'fate line'......"

Xu Ke said: "Brother He Mao also said that the wheel of life can be changed, and the world has different destiny lines. ”

He Mao thought for a moment, and then said: "What does Brother Xu mean, after you go back, do you want to change the wheel of life, so that the world we live in will develop in a different fate line?"

Xu Ke nodded and said, "That's what I mean!"

He Mao asked, "Why does Brother Xu want to change the wheel of life?

Xu Ke sighed with emotion: "What's so good about such a world?! In the past ten years, the world has become demonized, the world is full of monsters, the world is dark, and my human race is on the verge of extinction, needless to say. Who would have thought that the world would finally return to normal, and that I would encounter such a terrible thing! Only two days later, I was framed and imprisoned in this so-called 'edict'...... Today, if it weren't for Brother He Mao's help, wouldn't I have been slashed to death by a thousand knives in three days? Moreover, after I die, I will have to bear the infamy of being a 'demon spy'!"

He Mao smiled: "Didn't your emperor already promise to pardon you and let you go home safely tomorrow?"

Xu Ke said angrily: "That's what Yan'er exchanged for the happiness of her life! If that's the case, I'd rather take the thousand knives myself!"

He Mao said: "But...... Brother Xu, have you ever wondered if you change the wheel of life, will there be other bad results after the world changes?"

Xu Ke shook his head and said: "This fate line has been broken to this point, you say, where else can it go?"

He Mao said softly: "Perhaps, there is a worse outcome, not necessarily?"

After a while, Xu Ke finally couldn't help but ask, "Brother He Mao, do you know...... How can I change the wheel of life?"

He Mao smiled, and then said, "How does Brother Xu know, I, He Mao Zhongxing, know the method of changing the wheel of life?"

Xu Ke said: "You are the 'First Onmyoji', is there anything in this world that you don't know?"

Brother Xu praised it, and He Mao only heard some scratches of the surface. At that moment, He Mao Zhongxing said: "I have a strange book in the Sang Kingdom, called "Yin and Yang Theory". It is stated in the book that at the beginning of the dawn of heaven and earth, there were two ancient artifacts, one called 'Xuanhuang Sword' and the other called 'Honghuang Bell'. If anyone can get these two artifacts, they will have the power to change the world......"

"Xuanhuang Sword, Honghuang Bell?" Xu Ke said thoughtfully: "I have heard about the Xuanhuang Sword, and it is said that it is hidden in the palace of Chang'an City. What is this Flood Clock?"

He Mao said: "Don't hide it from Brother Xu, I don't know much about these two artifacts. However, the sudden change in the world ten years ago may be related to these two artifacts......"

Xu Ke didn't feel that he groaned for a while, he saw that He Mao didn't know much, and it was inconvenient to ask again, so he said casually: "Brother He Mao, is this "Yin and Yang Great Treatise" in your mansion......?

He Mao waved his hand and smiled: "Brother Xu may be able to read other books if he wants to, this "Yin and Yang Treatise" has always been hidden in my Sangguo Imperial Palace, and it is impossible for ordinary people to read it. If I hadn't been lucky, I wouldn't have had the chance to see it. ”

"Okay!" Xu Ke was a little helpless.

......

After a pause, He Mao suddenly patted his head and said:

"I'll go back to Sang Kingdom first, and enter the palace overnight to meet the Queen Mother, maybe the Queen Mother Yoshida has a way to help Miss Murong!"

Xu Ke sighed: "Sang Guo is thousands of miles away, if you go back now, Yan'er will already enter the palace!"

He Mao said: "It's okay, I have the help of the gods, and I can rush to the Sang country in two hours." It's really not good, I will invite the Queen Mother to this Qianguo Chang'an, if the Empress Dowager Yoshida personally comes forward to intercede, I am not afraid that your emperor will not agree!"

Xu Kewu shook his head: "Forget it! There are four more hours, it is the post-book ceremony, are you still in time to come and go?"

"Always give it a try!"

"Brother He Mao, your 'Rakshasa Cloud Moving Technique', it only takes two hours to return to Sang Kingdom, so how long will it take you to get to Yanzhou?"

"Yanzhou?Yanzhou City is only six hundred miles away, and I can arrive in less than half an hour!"

"Great! Brother He Mao, don't go back to Sangguo, for now, you just need to rush to Yanzhou City and meet someone......"

"Who?"

"Yanzhou City Lord, Murong Huan!"
