Wan Peng didn't answer directly, "There are a few questions that I would like to ask the elders to verify in case something goes wrong." ”

The Great Elder nodded, "Okay, you can ask." ”

Wan Peng said, "First, is the Sixteenth Elder not known for attack and defense, and even said that he rarely uses exercises to attack and defend on various occasions? Second, has the Sixteen Elder always been so particular about his clothes and never easily changes the type of clothing? Third, is the Sixteenth Elder's house heavily guarded and relatively remote, and the flow of people around it is relatively small?"

The Great Elder nodded, "Well, what you said is basically the same. The sixteen elders are in the Council of Elders, mainly engaged in business, and manage the commerce and trade of the Purple Mansion, not the main battle, not the main training. We basically haven't seen him attack or defend. As for clothing and shelter, it was indeed the same, which had always been extremely modest, and lived in a dwelling in the suburbs, and the mansion which the king had given him was idle. ”

Wan Peng took a deep breath, "That's right. Just now, when I was demonstrating to you the isolation of spiritual consciousness, it was not just a demonstration. The recipe I mentioned above is a medicinal herb in the demon world, called exorcism incense. In fact, there are three types of people in the demon world, demons, which is one of them, as well as ordinary people and spiritual practitioners. For a period of time, the demon used to be the most powerful, but then it fell due to many reasons such as the magic of the Convergence Spirit, I think everyone knows it. ”

The Great Elder nodded, "That's right. ”

"Exorcism incense was invented by the spiritual cultivators in the demon world after the defeat of the demons. As the demons learned to hide, it became more and more difficult to pursue the demons. Lingxiu invented this prescription, after using spiritual power to drive, it can stimulate the demon's Dan blood, so that the demon has red pupils, so as to distinguish the demon. Before, the ice needle that appeared during my demonstration was fused with the Exorcism Pill to a certain extent. And only in this way can I send the exorcism pill to each elder without suspicion. In this way, the medicinal power of the exorcism pill was dispersed in this space. ”

The Great Elder continued to nod, "I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect it. ”

"Of course, there are other points. For example, although the Sixteenth Elder said that he did not know the formula, he said that the prescription was to promote the blood, which caused his red pupils. You must know that the main materials in this prescription are all unique medicinal materials in the Demon Realm, as an ordinary Purple Mansion person, how can you judge its function of promoting pill blood?"

The Great Elder turned his head to the Eighth Elder at this time, and the Eighth Elder nodded in his seat, expressing his agreement with Wan Peng's statement. "That's right, these medicinal herbs are not from the Purple Mansion. I have heard of three or four of them, but there are very few records, and I can't judge what the effect is, plus the excipients, it is impossible to judge that it is the function of promoting Dan blood. ”

So, it reinforces my belief that I was right. Of course, just the exorcism pill can't achieve such an effect. My friend Xie Ting has added other materials to the Exorcism Pill, as long as the Exorcism Pill is attacked, the Demon will walk another thirty steps, and he will fall to the ground and appear. It was twenty-five steps from the seat of the Sixteenth Elder, so I concluded that he would fall within five steps. ”

The Great Elder exhaled slowly, "I didn't expect that we, the Elders, would still be mixed with demons. But......" he stared at Wan Peng, "as a Xuanxiao cultivator, how could you know so much, and how could you refine the Exorcism Pill?"

His words made the atmosphere of the whole scene suddenly cold, and the meaning of his words was self-evident.

Wan Peng was not nervous at this time, "Because I learned the magic of Huiling." When I was practicing Xiao, I was hunted down by demons due to the magic of Huiling. Later, because I was so far away from the people of the faction that the demon was looking for, they forgave me, and from them, I got more information about the demon. Later, the demon gave me and my friend the recipe and materials of the exorcism pill, and my friend, as a very talented medicinal cultivator, improved the exorcism pill. It's as simple as that. ”

The coldness in the Great Elder's eyes faded, "If that's the case...... It seems understandable. It's just that, as an outsider, you have intervened too much in the affairs of our Purple Mansion. ”

Wan Peng understood his words, and immediately followed up, "Elder rest assured, Wan Peng is just passing by, and he has also explained to Prince Zhuyou that he wants to go to Jinxiao through Zixiao to find the treasure of the sect and arrest the traitor." I will not discuss the affairs of your mansion outside. ”

The Great Elder nodded, "Well, it's best to be self-aware. He turned to Takeyou, "How is the king's health, if possible, you should arrange for Wan Peng to see him as soon as possible." ”

Zhuyou's face was not very good-looking, "Although my father's illness is said to be improving, the recovery is very slow. It will take three days to see him at the earliest. ”

The Great Elder shook his head, seeming a little disappointed. Looking at the sixteen elders on the ground, he asked Zhu to take Wan Peng away, as for how to interrogate this demon who had infiltrated the Council of Elders, and how to find out his true purpose, it had nothing to do with Wan Peng at this time.

Back at the State Guesthouse, Zhuyou and Wan Peng didn't say much, and the two didn't explain the matter to Lan Jia. For Lan Jia, it is still a little early to get involved in this, and now his safety is definitely a big deal.

Although Songliang is dead, it is difficult to judge whether his remnants will settle the accounts on Lan Jia.

The day after that, it was uneventful. Wan Peng and Xie Ting basically did not leave the hospital, it was not that the two of them did not want to come out, but they needed to protect Lan Jia's safety. If something happened to Lan Jia at this time, I am afraid that if they want to see the old king, it will be even more difficult.

Second, when it was almost noon, a person who looked like a senior guard came in from outside the courtyard and walked directly towards Lan Jia's room. Wan Peng was keenly aware of his arrival, and took a step ahead of him, already blocking Lan Jia's door.

When the man saw Wan Peng, his eyes narrowed slightly, and then he said, "I am the third uncle of the Governor of the King's Guard, and I have something important to report to Prince Lanjia, please get out of the way quickly." ”

Wan Peng looked at his words and expressions, and he really looked like he was in a hurry, but at this stage, he couldn't let his guard down on anyone. "Is there a token?"

The man took out a jade plaque, and the mark on it did match what he said. It's just that Wan Peng has not done any research on the anti-counterfeiting of the jade brand of Zifu, and now he is just looking at the surface. When he was hesitating, he heard Lan Jia come out of it, "It's Uncle I'm here." Brother Wan Peng, uncle is a good person, you let him in. ”

Uncle, that's a strange name. Wan Peng turned sideways slightly, let go of half of the door, just as Lan Jia opened the door, Shu San went in directly, and Wan Peng also followed.

Uncle San seemed to be very dissatisfied with Wan Peng's move, and Wan Peng had only followed up for less than five feet, he had already turned around and said coldly, "This is a private conversation between me and Prince Lan Jia, you are an outsider, and you must not intervene." ”

Wan Peng smiled slightly, "I'm sorry, Prince Zhuyou once confessed that Prince Lanjia's safety is protected by me." Although he recognizes you as an uncle, no one has promised that your uncle will not harm anyone. If something happens to Prince Langa while I'm away, who is to blame? Besides, even if it wasn't you, and God knows what will happen when you become the last person to come into contact with the prince. ”

Shu San was obviously so angry that Wan Peng's chest was blocked, and he just said "You ......" in his mouth, but he didn't say it. And Lan Jia also felt the subtle relationship and emotional changes between the two at this time, and said in a round, "Uncle Uncle, Wan Peng is a good person, and he won't reveal any secrets, so it's better to let him stay in the house." ”

Uncle San still looked very embarrassed, "But...... Third Prince, this matter is very important......"

Lan Jia shook her head and said, "It's okay. Uncle and uncle, let Wan Peng listen, he is a good person. If it weren't for him, I don't know if I would have been able to come back. ”

"This ......" Shu San still hesitated, and finally spoke, "Okay then." His gaze turned to Wan Peng, "However, this matter is very important, and it is inconvenient to disclose it to the outside world now, otherwise, it will easily cause confusion and speculation." When I came, I told all those in the know that if anyone revealed it, they would be killed. ”

Wan Peng knew that Uncle San was obviously warning himself. He didn't respond, found a place to sit down, and listened to what Shu San wanted to say to Lan Jia about confidential matters.

However, when the third uncle said the matter, Wan Peng couldn't help but tremble all over. How can this be?

What Uncle San told Lan Jia was that Dazhu Zhuyu died in his bedroom four or five hours ago. The scene of death was very similar to that of the second prince Songliang, there were no traces of a fight, and the guards outside did not find any spiritual power fluctuations, but the eldest prince was killed by a sword piercing his heart.

Shusan said it very succinctly, but several key points were explained very clearly, which also shows his skill in narrative. After hearing this, Lan Jia was surprised at first, but it didn't take long for her to calm down again, and she asked Shu San, "Did my father ever know about this?"

Shu San said, "Because the matter is urgent and very strange, we have already reported to the king. When the king heard this, he was shocked, and his illness recurred. He specially told me to tell you these things immediately, and if possible, go back to the Qingdu Desert, no one will pick you up, and never come back. ”

Lan Jia was silent for a while, as if she was thinking and as if she was sad. It took a long time for him to raise his head, "No, I can't go." Now that my father is seriously ill, if I leave, the news will spread, and the Purple Mansion will not necessarily be in chaos. Besides, I said that I had collusion with the Ape Clan, but now that I left, I can't even say clearly. I'm going to have to get to the bottom of it. ”

When Shu San heard Lan Jia say this, he couldn't help but be a little anxious, "But, now, two princes have been killed in succession, maybe the next target will be you, if you don't hurry up and leave, if something goes wrong again, what will happen to the future of this Purple Mansion?"

Lan Jia showed extreme maturity at this time, "Even if I leave, the Purple Mansion will have a future?"
