There were only less than three days left to travel from the imperial capital, but the princess's heart became heavy, and she felt a lingering tiredness, like a victim who had finally come ashore from the water, and only after rejoicing did she find that it was just a small isolated island, surrounded by an endless ocean, and she had to continue to swim, and she had to keep swimming, and she kept swimming.

Before she stepped into the imperial capital, she could already feel a chill blowing in her face.

She withdrew everyone, took off her veil, and waited for someone to come, full of anticipation and trepidation, slowly, her heart became cold, as a member of the royal family, this is a must, otherwise, how can she swim in the cold sea of the imperial capital?

"Zeng Fu" walked in, his walking posture was slightly weird, cautious, as if he had just gotten rid of his stiff state and regained his ability to walk.

Thanks to the talismans, the princess's tent was kept in a luxurious state to accommodate the ladies who flocked along the way, and for others the carpet was too thick and soft, and the fragrance was a little too strong.

The princess held back a smile and pointed to the soft chair in front of her, "Please be seated." ”

Mu Xingqiu restored his true face, he really didn't like to learn the woman's walking posture anymore, he was a little dazed in the face of the princess who suddenly summoned him, and finally decided to throw away those hypocritical politeness, he didn't sit down, and said directly: "There is no impeccable disguise in the world, and there are several people in the camp who can see through my disguise." ”

The princess was not allowed to meet any man at will, and the rules before marriage were even stricter, and it would be a big scandal if it was known that she was meeting a male Taoist priest in private.

The princess smiled, looking at the face that was still familiar after five years, and there was a faint warmth in her heart, "I am willing to take this risk." ”

Mu Xingqiu nodded slightly, "If Xin Youtao is really in danger, I will do my best to help him, and Pang Shan is also willing to protect the princess's safety." But other than that......"

"Other than that, I'll work on it myself. The princess's smile widened, "Remember what I said, and when you go up a few more steps, I will be of no use to you." But we've made trades and fought side by side, so it's a ...... Let's make friends. ”

Although the princess doesn't know spells, let alone mind illusions, she can always lift the other party's guard in a few words, Mu Xingqiu knows that this is the princess's ability, and she still feels ashamed in her heart, and feels that her attitude is too blunt. "Of course, without the princess stepping forward in a critical moment, it would be difficult to hold the Broken Flow City, and for that, I am also grateful to the princess. ”

Mu Xingqiu didn't say "Pang Shan" but said "I", the princess was very happy, but her smile was retracted, and she sighed a little tiredly, and her shoulders dropped slightly. "Speaking of gratitude, I don't have an advantage, Xijieguo owes you and Pang Shan more. I would like to see you before I arrive in the Imperial Capital, not to thank each other. It's about seeing the passage of time. ”

Mu Xingqiu was slightly stunned, not understanding what this sentence meant.

"It's been five and a half years, and you've not changed at all, but I've had to move forward step by step in the direction of aging. The gap between you and me is the passage of time. ”

"You're not old at all. Mu Xingqiu felt that the princess was thinking too much, she was a descendant of the royal family. When she was conceived in her mother's body, she enjoyed all the benefits brought by the talisman, which means that her lifespan is one hundred and fifty or sixty years, and she is only twenty-seven or eighteen years old this year, which is equivalent to the girlhood stage of ordinary people.

The princess smiled and changed the subject a little abruptly, "I came to you for my brother's real purpose. ”

"I said he was my friend and I would do everything I could to help him. ”

"What if...... I mean, what if, he doesn't think you're a friend anymore?"

Mu Xingqiu didn't think about this question, and stared at the princess for a while, "What did the princess hear?"

The princess nodded, "These days, I have been inquiring about the situation in the imperial capital through various channels, and I have found some problems. If you're not busy, I'd like to go into more detail. ”

"I'm not busy. ”

The princess was not in a hurry to introduce the situation, and sat there for a while, "My brother's business...... In fact, it's not that complicated, to put it simply, the Fu royal family of this dynasty was also born as a Fu master in the past, and after ascending the throne, the power was monopolized, and the Longbin Society at that time was completely a vassal of the royal family. This situation lasted for thousands of years, and then the Fu clan began to decline, and the whole process was very slow, and it was up for ten days and ten nights to argue which generation of emperors it started. But most people have the same opinion, that is, in the hands of this generation of Emperor Fu Gong, the Fu clan completely lost power to the Longbin Society. ”

"I can feel it from Huang Fujun. Mu Xingqiu remembered the way the generals of the Huang Fu Army cowered in front of the Great Fu Master, which could not be more clearly indicative of the decline of the imperial power.

"The current emperor can't even command the Praetorian Guards around him, and the Fu clan has not been replaced, because there are also disputes within the Longbin Society, and when the Fu masters fight for the results, the Holy Fu Dynasty will come to an end. ”

Mu Xingqiu was born in a border town and joined Pangshan very early, and he has no feelings for the so-called royal family and royal family, but he wonders one thing, "But you still want to marry an imperial grandson?"

"The husband I have chosen is good for nothing, but his mother is very important, she is the daughter of Guan Chengcoon, the chief master of the Great Talisman, and this marriage, coupled with my brother becoming the messenger of palm ink, the royal family of Xijie will be able to go under the protection of the chief, and will not become a victim of the change of dynasty, and even get a piece of the pie. ”

The princess talks about her marriage as if she were a Taoist priest talking about spiritual practice, striving to be accurate without the slightest passion.

"Will the Guan clan definitely be able to become the next generation of royalty?" Mu Xingqiu wanted to ask the princess how many years the new royal family would be able to hold on even if she succeeded, but in the end she held back, that was a mortal thing, and thousands of years was long enough.

"It's just my judgment all along. The Guan family is not huge, and on the surface it is not among the most powerful families in the Holy Fu Dynasty, but they have produced several famous Fu masters and generals who lead troops, and they hold key power. The Guan clan also has enemies, such as the Qu clan, which is a real big family, inside and outside the court, from literature to martial arts, there are people from the Qu family everywhere, you have already seen Qu Xungui. ”

"I only want to live forever, and I don't care about it for this. ”

"I can understand his thoughts, but he was so wrong. The princess sighed softly, "Taoist priests are immortal, they can concentrate on the pursuit of their own perfection, mortal life is short, so it must be extended from generation to generation, and each generation only does a little thing, and over time, it can also achieve great things." If you follow the rules as a mortal and have to do the things of a Taoist, you will naturally go astray. ”

"He is said to have made progress in immortality. ”

"Well, there are a lot of rumors, and some people even say that he is secretly colluding with the demon clan, I don't believe it, but one thing is true, Qu Xungui is getting younger, and many acquaintances are surprised when they see him. But being young doesn't necessarily mean being able to live forever, and it's a strange thing if Qu Xungui is still alive after a decade or two. ”

"Xin Youtao's enemy is Qu Follow, it's a coincidence, I don't have a good impression of him, and I still have an account to settle with him. Mu Xingqiu did not forget the entrustment of Jì Sanxiu and Liu Ding and others, mortals have short lives, and their problems should be solved as much as possible.

"Originally, I thought so, too, but I have received some new news in the last few days, and it sounds closer to the truth, as if my younger brother is only at odds with the Qu clan on the surface, but in fact, he secretly has a good relationship with Qu Xungui, and even helps him cultivate the art of immortality. ”

"Didn't Xin Youtao explain it to you? maybe...... He's a trick to lure the enemy. ”

The princess shook her head slowly, "I haven't received a letter from my brother for a long time, as for the plan to lure the enemy, you should know him very well, it's okay to talk about it, if you really want to implement it, he is not the kind of person who can confront the rules head-on." ”

"Everybody's going to mature. "That's right, but Mu Xingqiu would rather Xin Youtao still be the same as before, that is his familiar friend.

"My brother is not mature, he is suddenly transformed. The princess said that she was very sure that she had not seen her brother very often, but that she had exchanged letters frequently, and that she trusted her own judgment, "There are only two possibilities: one is that he was instigated by the Guan family and really participated in the conspiracy, then he is extremely stupid, and whether he succeeds or not, he will become a thorn in the side of the Guan and Qu families, and the other is that he has been deceived by the Qu family and really deviated from our original plan, then he is still very stupid, because although the Guan family may not be the ultimate victor, the winner will never be the Qu family." ”

The princess's gaze looked at the door, as if Xin Youtao would appear at any time, "My younger brother may make mistakes in small matters, but in the major matters of the family's fate, he will never be so stupid as this. ”

Mu Xingqiu was silent for a while, "What do you think...... Xin Youtao has been affected by the spell?"

The princess nodded, "I only know two things, first, my brother will not betray me, and second, he is not smart, but he is by no means a stupid person, and now these two things are happening at the same time, I can't believe that this is the result of human beings." ”

"Xin Youtao is already in the realm of Xianxia, and it is not easy for Long Bin to cast spells on him. ”

"I use talismans a lot, but I don't know much about spells, I have asked some very well-known talisman masters, and the saying is the same as yours, individual talismans have the ability to manipulate others, but the signs are very obvious, and it is impossible to affect the Taoist. The princess took a deep breath, "So I continued to inquire, and spent a lot of money on it, and finally found out that the Longbin Society was secretly inventing some new talismans, and the mana was surprisingly powerful. The host was none other than Qu Xungui himself, and he was assisted by a Taoist priest named Ding Wei, who seemed to be a Taoist priest from Wangshan. ”

"He is the Taoist priest of Wangshan. Mu Xingqiu was really taken aback, he actually heard Ding Wei's name here again in the princess, and in the stone tomb before, Shen Jiyi mentioned this person to him, claiming that he was in the imperial capital and wanted to see Mu Xingqiu.

"So you know this person, so that's good...... That's good......" The princess repeated twice, and suddenly she could no longer resist the fatigue in her body, and the battle between the open and the secret and the hegemony of Wang Tu became unimportant, she covered her heart with one hand, slowly fell down, and stretched out her other hand to Mu Xingqiu, like a drowning person longing for a log that was about to float away from her side.
