Dragon Warrior.

Chapter 172
Xiao Jing watched the light above her head disappear little by little, and felt anxious, but there was nothing she could do.

Under the palm of Baishang Taoist, his body fell downwards at an extremely fast speed, and it took a full ten breaths before he saw the dark ground.

Xiao Jing's qi luck dantian, when it was still a few feet above the ground, both palms suddenly thought of the ground and slapped it continuously, and with the surge of aura, it only hit the ground paved with boulders with a bang bang There was a sound, and the falling momentum of his rapidly falling body was also rapidly slowing down. Finally, the force of Wanjun's falling was completely released, and he fell lightly on the ground.

It's just that before he could measure his surroundings, there was another booming sound above his head, and he saw a steel plate with a thickness of three or four feet protruding from each of the four sides of the rock wall at a height of four or five feet, and they were joined together in the blink of an eye, making them even and smooth. , fit perfectly.

Xiao Jing secretly sighed, knowing that this time he was really hurt.Sure enough, Jiang is still old and spicy. King Ruyang is worthy of being an old fox who has stood on the battlefield for decades and has not fallen down.

And judging from his behavior, he probably had already started to arrange this situation when he left Guangmingding.First, he ordered Zhao Min to go back with him, assuming that he would go to Dadu to find Zhao Min, so he ordered people to monitor his whereabouts at all times, and once he arrived in Dadu, he immediately deceived himself in the name of Zhao Min, and then sent Zhao Min away to talk to himself. condition.If he accepts his conditions, everything is easy to talk about, if he doesn't agree, he will do it directly.

It's just that Xiao Jing didn't expect how the damaged Taoist who was supposed to be seriously injured recovered so quickly, and judging from the palm just now, his martial arts seemed to have improved a lot, which is really incredible.

While thinking about it, Xiao Jing began to look at the surrounding environment, and found that the place where he was staying was a cold secret room, all around were made of neat huge stone blocks, and there was more than one secret room.He took a rough look and found that there were three small rooms in total, the smallest of which was complete with doors and windows, and it was actually a hut.

Xiao Jing thought for a while, guessing that this place is more like an underground refuge.He continued to observe carefully, although there is no light here, but Xiao Jing has long been able to see at night, so naturally he can't trouble him.

Perhaps it is located in a very deep place, so the secret room is very cold. It is obviously summer, but it gives people a feeling of cold winter.

However, Xiao Jing has already practiced to the state where the cold and heat do not invade, this bit of coolness is nothing more than a drizzle to him.There is a lot of fresh dry food stored in the secret room, and it is difficult to destroy it in such an environment. There is also a clear spring flowing through a sink in the stone room, so there is no need to worry about eating and drinking.

He tried pushing around hard, but to no avail.The stone is not only huge, but also embedded in the mountain, it cannot be shaken by manpower at all, even the two doors are tightly blocked by steel plates, in the entire secret room, there are only two basketballs protruding from the iron doors on both sides Big holes, barely enough for ventilation.

Although I don't know how King Ruyang will deal with him, but there is no possibility of escaping right now, and we can only take one step at a time.

When he was thinking this way, he heard footsteps and voices coming from outside. After careful identification, he knew that it was Prince Ruyang and his son, Taoist Baishang and that Li Bai.

Sure enough, after a while, King Ruyang's voice came from outside the cave: "Nephew Xiao Xian, now, should you reconsider your proposal to this king?"

Xiao Jing said: "Your Majesty's good means, Xiao admires it. If you do such a thing, aren't you afraid that Min Min will be sad when she finds out?"

King Ruyang said: "Those who achieve great things don't care about small things. Besides, as long as I don't say anything, how will Minmin know that you have fallen into my hands? After three or five years, this king will find a good husband for her." Son-in-law, she will naturally forget you."

Xiao Jing said: "Minmin is strong and courageous by nature, she will never accept the prince's arrangement, if you don't believe me, let's wait and see."

Ru Yang Wang said: "She is my daughter, and I have the final say on marriage matters. Besides, it is time for her to fulfill her responsibilities as a royal daughter when the country's affairs are difficult."

Xiao Jing was noncommittal, and said: "If the prince is here to continue to persuade me to surrender, then I will say the same thing, Xiao will never be a person who is unkind, unjust, loyal and unfilial."

King Ruyang said: "This king will give you time to make you think clearly. You think so now, but after three months, one year, three years, will you still be able to live? If it is too late Now, when Minmin marries someone else, don't regret it."

Xiao Jing said: "The prince is so confident that he can lock me up for three to five years?"

King Ruyang smiled and said: "As long as this king doesn't want to let you go, you can't go. Don't think about someone coming to rescue you. Wait a year or so. If someone finds you missing, this king will say that it was Pu Buhua who killed you." You are dead. Your subordinates, relatives and friends will only look for Pu Buhua to seek revenge. This king sits on the mountain and watches the tiger fight. He can not only eradicate the rebels, but also attack the eunuchs, and kill two birds with one stone."

Xiao Jing's eyes narrowed, and said: "The abacus is good, but I'm afraid they are not so easy to deceive."

Ru Yang Wang said: "They will believe it. First of all, there are only a few people in the world who are capable of dealing with you, and Pu Buhua happens to be one of them, and he is the one with the biggest motive and suspicion. If you disappear in the capital, it will only be him." I did it. Secondly, since this king wants to spread rumors and set blame, he will naturally do it seamlessly. The witness and material evidence will appear where they should appear at the most appropriate time. After a hard search, your people will finally find out The 'truth' of your murder, and then everything will fall into place."

Xiao Jing let out a long sigh, and said, "My lord turns his hands into clouds and his hands into rain, what else can Xiao say? I hope lord won't play with fire and set himself on fire, and end up marrying someone else."

Ru Yang Wang said: "Don't worry, how many storms and waves have I experienced in my life? It's just a way to divert attention and plant blame, but it's just easy to catch."

Xiao Jing stopped talking to him, and instead said: "One thing I don't understand, Taoist Baishang was obviously injured and dying, why did he recover in a short period of time, and his martial arts have improved to a higher level? I wonder if your Excellency can explain it? "

Daoist Baishui proudly said: "Because Pindao has taken in two filial disciples, seeing Master in trouble, he is willing to donate his energy to help me recover my skills. Every time Pindao thinks about this, he feels deeply ashamed and guilty." Said There was a burst of sadness in the words, and tears seemed to ooze from the corners of his eyes.

Xiao Jing sneered and said: "Put away your crocodile tears! I don't know who the second elder Xuanming is? It seems that you finally extended your demonic claws to your apprentice. If you knew this, you should directly Get rid of the two of them, so as not to leave you with two tonics and let you continue to endanger the world, and I will not be in prison today."

Baishang Dao said humanely: "This is called God's will. If you are poor and obey the sky, you will be favored by the gods. Every time you can survive in a desperate situation, you will be blessed by misfortune."

Xiao Jing said: "The way of heaven has no relatives, and you are always with good people. You are full of evil, too many to write down, and you have committed a lot of crimes in your life. How dare you claim to be obedient to others?"

Daoist Baishui said complacently: "What do you know? Lao Tzu, a Taoist sage, once said: 'Knowing what is white and keeping what is black is the way of the world. Observing the essence of evil and darkness, and acting in accordance with the evil thoughts in the heart, this kind of behavior can be called a model for the world. There is also a Taoist sage Yang Zi said: "Everyone is not good for the world, and the world will be governed." I have been practicing the way of sages, so what is wrong?"

Through the hole, Xiao Jing stared at Taoist Baishang for a while, then sighed, "Taking meaning out of context and distorting the scriptures of sages and sages so far, Taoist Baishang, you are hopelessly hopeless."

The Taoist Baishui said with a smile on his face: "This means that different Taoism does not conspire with each other. The poor Taoist studies the Taoist classics, interprets the thoughts of the Taoist sages, and practices the way of the sages. Are you an outsider?" Can you guess?"

Xiao Jing kept her mouth shut, not wanting to fall into meaningless sophistry with him.

Seeing that Xiao Jing still had no intention of compromising, King Ruyang said immediately: "Calm down and think about what this king said, and I will come to visit you after a while. There was originally a shelf of books here, but considering that you need a quiet After thinking about it, the king removed it, and a box of candles by the way, you just think carefully in this dark and quiet stone room, when you figure it out, you and I will be a family."

Saying that, he turned around and left with Wang Baobao, Taoist Baishang, and Baili Renren.

Wang Baobao said: "Father, my child sees Xiao Jing's determination is very strong, I'm afraid he won't be easily swayed!"

King Ruyang said disapprovingly: "When he is locked up for a year and a half, there is no book to read, no one to communicate with, and all he can see is always a desperate darkness, then he will know the value of freedom. If this is not enough, when Minmin really wants to marry, see if he can sit still?"

Wang Baobao put himself in the place and thought for a while, couldn't help but shuddered Lingling, gave a thumbs up, and said: "Father Wang is really tall, my child admires it."
