big week bad guy

Chapter 138 Moths to the Flame (Fourth update! Please subscribe, please ask for a monthly pass!)
Three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.

Emperor Xianlong began to display his imperial mind.

Jiedushi was originally a serious problem for the court, and taking this opportunity to weaken the power in Jiedushi's hands is the most important thing.Before this, Wang Yan had offered a strategy, and Emperor Xianlong directly used the strategy offered by Wang Yan.

The majesty of the emperor is fully displayed at this moment.

Those Jiedu envoys who killed people without blinking an eye on the battlefield were as docile as sheep in front of Emperor Xianlong.

Seize power?

Military power, financial power, and the power to appoint and dismiss subordinate officials, no matter what kind of power is lost, Jiedushi feels heartache.

But what can be done?

The Tweet Order comes from the mouth of the emperor, can they jump out and refuse?

What's more, they are now in Chang'an City, and there are only a few dozen personal soldiers in the city.

The emperor really wanted to deal with them, all he needed was an imperial decree.

Then there will be an influx of forbidden troops to take them down and throw them into prison.

No matter how aggrieved they are at the moment, they can only smash their teeth and swallow it in their stomachs.

Zhao Xun obviously doesn't care about these things, all he thinks about is how to deal with Princess Xuanhuai.

But Princess Xuanhuai seemed to be aware of the danger, and she didn't intend to make a move, at least not yet.

Is this guy waiting for an opportunity?
As expected of an old woman who has lived for seven or eighty years, she has rich experience.

But Zhao Xun did not dare to take it lightly.

Because he is in the open and the enemy is in the dark, even if Princess Xuanhuai makes a move, he still has a reaction time lag, so he must not be careless.

Of course there is another possibility.
The imperial city, the yamen of bad people, and the dungeon.

In a spacious and clean single room, a man in his thirties sat cross-legged.

This man is Nanfeng, or Guyel.

The male favorite of Princess Xuanhuai of the Great Zhou Dynasty, face-to-face, lover.

Ever since he was sealed in the gourd by Zhao Xun with the help of the head of the mountain, and then brought back to the imperial city, he was beaten into the bad people's yamen and imprisoned.

Because Princess Xuanhuai and other past events were involved, the unscrupulous people were very cautious about Nanfeng's trial and did not dare to be careless in the slightest.

In case Nanfeng made any mistakes, they would not be able to report to the emperor.

Although they knew that this person had committed a heinous crime, but if the emperor did not issue an imperial decree to kill him for a day, they could only offer food and drink.

Nanfeng also seemed to feel the fear of bad people, he should eat and drink.

But today is different.

Nan Feng has been meditating, and no one knows what he is thinking.

Even Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng's mind-watching skills are not good, because Nanfeng's cultivation realm has three grades.

And the mind-watching technique happens to be ineffective for practitioners above the third rank.

"Brother Wei, tell me, is Nanfeng really over 80 years old?"

"According to the inferences recorded in the history books, it is really more than 80 years old."

"This is really strange. This guy looks like he's only in his thirties at most."

"Ah, let's not talk about this, drink, drink."

"Brother Wei, Mr. Feng has an order that you can't drink alcohol when you're in prison. Drinking is a mistake."

"I said why are you so stupid. There are only you and me here. If you don't tell me, I won't tell you. Who will know?"

"That's true."

"How about two drinks?"

"Well, two drinks. Let's just have two drinks. It's okay to drink too much and cause trouble, but we don't want to be greedy."

The two filled up the wine and drank it all in one gulp.

"Haha, what a fucking pleasure. This wine tastes very soft, and then it becomes stronger. It's so refreshing."

The two were enjoying themselves, when they suddenly felt a gust of evil wind blowing, and then felt a chill down their backs, as if being sucked by something, they flung them towards the wall.

They instinctively waved their arms and kicked their legs to resist, but with little success.

Soon they were attached to the wall, unable to move at all.

The two could clearly feel the soul floating out of their bodies, and they were stunned.

Soon their souls were completely sucked out by a huge force, leaving only two empty shells, as horrible as mummy.

Nan Feng suddenly opened his eyes at this moment, quickly got up and walked towards the prison door.

Sure enough, Princess Xuanhuai's all-powerful face appeared in front of him.

"You shouldn't have come."

Nan Feng shook his head and said: "This place is full of traps, they deliberately relaxed their defenses, and only asked two jailers to guard me, just to lure you into the bait."

"I know, I know what you said, but I just can't just sit idly by, I can't watch you suffer in prison."

Princess Xuanhuai's exquisite wrinkle-free face became distorted at this moment because of the pain.

"I will come regardless of whether it is a trap or not. Today is the best opportunity. The emperor hosted a banquet in the Furong Garden in Qujiang Pond, and all the envoys were present. In order to protect the safety of the emperor, the imperial guards in Chang'an City and the soldiers and horses of the various yamen Basically, they are all concentrated in the South City. If I make a move in the North City right now, the possibility of success is the greatest."

Nan Feng nodded and said, "You weren't being watched when you came, right?"

"How could it be? I entered the prison with the empty escape technique. No one saw me except these two jailers. Now these two people have become mummies."

After seventy or eighty years of erosion, the current Princess Xuanhuai is extremely cold, without any emotion.

If there is such a trace, it is also for the south wind.

"I'll get you out."

Princess Xuanhuai channeled out her internal strength, and the powerful Gang Qi smashed the prison door in an instant.

Nanfeng walked out of the cell immediately, and hugged Princess Xuanhuai tightly.

"Let's go out first, this is not a place to talk, it's too dangerous."

Although she loves Nanfeng deeply, Princess Xuanhuai still maintains a very rational mind.

She knew very well that it would be very risky to continue to stay.

The time left for her is only one hour, and she must get out of danger as soon as possible.

"Is your cultivation still there?"

Princess Xuanhuai asked.

Nan Feng shook his head and said, "Not anymore, not even a single drop. My cultivation base and energy have all been crippled by the head of the mountain."

Nanfeng looked very helpless when he said this.

Princess Xuanhuai's chest rose and fell sharply, and she clenched her fists very angrily.

"Why does the head of the mountain want to do this? This is our royal family's business. He is a practitioner, why should an outsider get involved."

"Maybe it's because of Zhao Xun."

"Zhao Xun? Is that the bad guy in the scarlet robe?"

"Why, you know him too?"

"I once saw him in Yuzhen Temple in Zhongnan Mountain. At that time, he was ordered to investigate and found Yuzhen Temple. I had no choice but to kill him, but a stinky Taoist priest was killed halfway."

When Princess Xuanhuai recalled this experience, she was very unwilling: "Why does this guy have so many backers, either Taoism or Confucianism."

"Forget it, let's go out first, and then find a chance to take revenge."

Princess Xuanhuai grabbed Nanfeng's hand, recited a mantra, and activated the Buddhist empty escape technique.
