After Qiantai entered the territory of Leling, Yizhou, he was lost by the Yunjiang River in the Stygian River, and the whereabouts of Qiantai were traced.

In the Daoyuan of the county town of Leling County, news was received that Yuan Shao in the Daoist Academy, Taiyi Sect Tianshu Zhenren, and Cao Rui, the younger brother of Cao Song, the head of the Cao family in Qingzhou, were still talking about things in the capital.

The elder of the Dao elder handed the news into the inner room, and as soon as he read the news, Cao Rui of the Cao family immediately mocked the two: "Several temptations, but now the people have lost it, the layout of the two of you is negligent, it is better to directly send a group of rebels to directly sink this prince to death in this big Yin Mountain, which is so difficult." ”

"In that case, why don't you come forward with Lord Cao?" asked Tianshu Shen on the side.

Hmph~!Cao Rui snorted angrily and said, "The person was chased and lost by you, and now it is in the territory of your Taiyi Sect, why did you let my Cao family make a move." Cao Rui shirked, he wanted to lure the other party to kill Qiantai, and he was deeply accused of slaughtering the prince, and his Cao family was enough to make a profit.

"No, no. I only heard Yuan Shao interrupt the dispute between the two, and said: "Now that we are still waiting for the Great Jin/Jiangshan, how can we do anything to hurt the prince." Now we are just persuading the prince to return to the right path, and I am afraid that only the Cao family is in Qingzhou, so we have nothing to care about. ”

"Yuan Shao, what do you mean by this?" Cao Rui was immediately enraged.

"What do you mean?" Yuan Shao asked rhetorically, with a hint of sneering: "I also want to ask Lord Cao, why did this human emperor suddenly die in Shangjing?"

"Your Majesty is old, and he is dying, and he died in the Palace of Nourishing the Heart due to the wind and cold. This is known to the world, and you will not talk nonsense. ”

"Yes, everyone knows that the eunuch in the palace is a member of your Cao family, controlling the inner palace, and the emperor suddenly died in the Heart Cultivation Palace, and your Cao family has no plan in it?"

In the capital, the palace was hung up with white cloth at this time, and the internal guards and eunuchs headed by Cao Jinghang prepared for the funeral for the emperor.

All the palace etiquette was under the leadership of Cao Jinghang, the palace attendant, who secretly colluded with the queen, and with the acquiescence of the Taiyi Sect, even the Qianzu clan was excluded.

These eunuchs have advanced cultivation, and they usually go in and out of the palace walls in the palace, and are controlled by the emperor, but now that the emperor has died, this has suddenly become a force in the capital, and from the joint operation of the holy funeral with the queen, it can be seen that it has gradually decapitated and exposed to interfere in the government affairs.

And these eunuchs interfered in the government affairs, but they didn't see the Tianque Zhenren who was still staying in the capital at this time objecting, and there may be some interest transactions in this.

In the Daoyuan of Lujun County, Yuan Shao said that Cao Rui was also said for a reason. The emperor suddenly died in Shangjing, and even Yuan Chonghuan, the secretary of the military department, did not get any news beforehand. How could the eunuchs who controlled the palace/palace not know about this matter, and afterwards the eunuchs claimed that the emperor was contaminated with wind and cold, and he died to nourish the heart of the palace, and it was verified by the Tai Hospital, but the Tai Yi case remained silent, and the Yuan family did not know the specifics. Obviously, the Yuan family was excluded in this matter, and it did not end up cheaply at all.

Then Yuan Shao saw that the two were silent, and he was no longer entangled in this, and then said: "Afterwards, do you want to support the Nine Emperors to ascend the throne?"

"The Nine Emperor Princes were deeply loved by His Majesty during His Majesty's lifetime, and the Nine Emperor Princes were born by the queen, and now the Prince is practicing in the Taiyi Sect, and only the Nine Emperor Princes are worthy of great treasures. ”

"Hmph, it's just a sick prince, but it fits the heart of the Ru Cao family. Yuan Shao said.

These Nine Emperor Princes were born by the Empress, and they were deeply loved by His Majesty during His Majesty's lifetime, and they have always been rumored to be the most likely to obtain the throne, and they have always been taken care of by the eunuchs and queens of the deep palace.

But the Nine Emperors are weak and sickly, and they can't compare to Qiantai. Such a sick emperor naturally fits the Cao family and the queen's mind to control the government, even after ascending the throne, he is a sick puppet, so Yuan Shao, who was born as a military general, is so disdainful. However, setting up a sick prince as the emperor is also in line with the intentions of the Yuan family and even all the families in the world, so that these people can accumulate momentum under the more weak and incompetent government.

"Yuan Gongzi rest assured, after the Nine Emperor Princes ascend the throne, Uncle Yuan Chonghuan will definitely be promoted, and the Jingshi side has already reached an agreement with Lord Taiwei, and the Yangzhou army in the south of the imperial court belongs to the Yuan family. ”

Hmph, Yuan Shao can't deny this.

Cao Rui and Tianshu glanced at each other, and Cao Rui smiled: "Of course, Lord Yuan's Liaodong County, as the capital city of Youzhou, naturally has the right to govern Youzhou in the future, but Youzhou is mixed, and the imperial court is powerless to support it." ”

"This is the best, since that Qiantai child has now entered the territory of this Leling, wait for me to go out to search first, and I will meet this famous prince in Beijing for a while. Yuan Shao bowed his hand and said goodbye, then went out and led someone to ask the Taoist elder who had sent the message, and chased him out of the city towards the east gate.

The night is dark, this is the seventh day that Qiantai left Feicheng, count the days, the father and emperor in the capital should also spend the first seven days, the dim riverside hills and jungles, the river is surging south, the demons are hidden, and the blue-eyed light flashes in the forest.

After Qiantai went ashore alone, he ran along the riverside, and at the end of the day, he was also very tired and tired, his internal breath was exhausted, and he was full of sweat.

After walking along the river for a while, Qiantai felt that his body was indeed tired and unfit to hurry any further, so he looked around, and there were some lights flickering towards the west, which seemed to be a riverside village.

Qiantai thought for a moment and walked towards the village. Alone in the middle of the night, although there is cultivation, but there are monsters that are easy to appear by the river, and it is not appropriate to stay by the river to rest.

When you come to the outside of the village, there are about 100 households, with poplar trees growing and shambled, and thatched houses made of broken stones, a mountain village that is not rich.

'Woo...... I'm in charge...... ' There was a faint cry in the village, the lights were bright in the middle of the village, and the people in the village were still busy in the middle of the night.

Da Da... Knock knock knock...... "Dust to dust, dust to earth, soul to earth...... Guarding the ...... of you", there is drum music, and the chanting is the sound of "Returning to the Ruins, Good and Evil", and the village seems to be holding a funeral.

Qiantai hid in the woods outside the village, observed for a while, and sighed in his heart, he didn't expect to meet a mountain village, and it was the funeral that was being held.

After a while, Qiantai turned around and walked to the woods outside the village, looked for a boulder, and sat on top of it to meditate and rest.

At this time, Qiantai was reluctant to enter the village.

As soon as Qiantai looked at the funeral in the village, he not only thought of the emperor in the capital, but also the ordinary villagers, at the time of the funeral, their children and grandchildren were all around, and relatives and friends cried and mourned each other.

In fact, Yan Du, the second primordial god, can go to Shangjing to find an opportunity to lure out the soul of the human emperor. But now he can't, he can only be blocked by people, and he has no choice but to watch the soul of the emperor dissipate in the red dust of the capital.

Moreover, Qiantai was reluctant to enter the village, mainly in the middle of the night, his deeds were too strange, and he would definitely be remembered by the people of this mountain village.

The full moon rose, and the sound of crying in the mountain village came intermittently from the village, and the woods seemed very cold.

In the second half of the night, Qiantai, who was meditating on the boulder, suddenly felt a vicious smell in the air.

Squeaky ......, Qiantai looked at it, and his eyes not only shrank, but he saw a black-skinned python of more than ten zhang swimming from one side of the jungle, and from the other side of the woods, a hundred steps away from Qiantai, was swimming towards the mountain village.

A stone wall was knocked down by a giant python, and the evil creature opened its bloody mouth wide, spitting snake letters, and swam straight into the village.

Qiantai first watched everything calmly, and when he saw this giant python going straight to the village, he couldn't help but feel angry in his heart, if it was really an evil monster, how could he dare to harm people in front of him.

But Qiantai hesitated in his heart, whether to rescue him at this time, after all, there were still people chasing behind him at this time, and an accident would leave news of the other party's whereabouts.

Suddenly, a frightened cry of a woman and child was heard in the village. Then there was a scream in the village. "The black demon is here to eat people again, run, dangdangdang......" Then there was a sound of gongs and shouts, and the people in the village ran out of the village in horror.

One of them cried out, "Black demon, abominable black demon, return my father's life." "Woo woo..." is the voice of the family who cried at the funeral before, and the black python can be seen in the distance approaching the crowd more and more, a group of strong men with hoes and machetes in front, women and children holding the dead crying family members in groups, and hiding towards the other end of the village.

The situation was very critical, and if you didn't save a village, there would be heavy casualties, so Qiantai stood outside the village.

Just as the black demon was about to approach the crowd, Qiantai immediately stomped his feet and said, "Do your best to obey the destiny of heaven, but you can't let such a disaster happen in front of me." "Stretched out his hand and quickly took out a samurai uniform from the 'Ruyi Ring' on his wrist as a cover, and twisted his facial muscles again, shortening his body by a few points, turning into a little fat man with a round face with fine skin and tender flesh, and immediately built a huge tree beside him and rushed towards the village.

Even if he changed his body, but Qiantai didn't dare to guarantee that he would not be noticed by Yuan Shao and the others afterwards, after all, this Leling is the sphere of influence of the Taiyi Sect, and it is very easy to attract people's attention when a mysterious fat man suddenly appears here. If Yuan Shao and the others compare their whereabouts again, they are likely to suspect themselves.
