Taiqing Sword

Chapter 42, Dragon Guard

Is there really a realm higher than ascending to a saint in one step?What kind of state would that be?I'm afraid I can already turn my hands into clouds and turn my hands into rain.I don't know when Ning Xin came to the side, saw Shangguan Jinghong with a blank face and asked: "Jinghong, what's wrong with you?"

Shangguan Jinghong closed his eyes slightly, breathed out and said: "It's nothing, just now my master talked about the realm of ascending to a saint, I just have some expectations."

Ning Ningxin tilted her head and leaned on Shangguan Jinghong's shoulder: "You can definitely reach that level, I believe in you."

Shangguan Jinghong patted Ning Ningxin's small face: "Don't be too confident in me. I have reached such a level since I started learning martial arts. It can be said that there are countless luck in it."

Ning Ningxin smiled, and did not continue this topic: "By the way, Jinghong, you haven't told me for more than a year, where are you?"

Shangguan Jinghong's face changed slightly: "Near death!"

Ning Ningxin's heart tightened, which was similar to what she guessed, otherwise there would be no news for more than a year: "What's going on?"

Shangguan was shocked and condensed his heart, sighed and said: "Bu Mingyu!"

Ning Ningxin trembled when she heard the name: "Jinghong, did you meet him?"

"Well, and we fought, Bu Mingyu is much more powerful than I imagined, and can stand shoulder to shoulder with Wei Xianzhong in the palace. I met him, lost, and was shot down by him. If I hadn't met my master, at this time I should still be looking for an exit at the bottom of the valley!"

Ning Ningxin let out a breath slowly: "Is Bu Mingyu already that powerful? The innate peak......"

Shangguan Jinghong supported Ning Xin's shoulder: "Ning Xin, don't worry, if you meet him again now, you may not be knocked off the cliff, let's not talk about this, have you heard of the Royal Secret Realm?"

Ning Ningxin nodded: "I knew a little bit before, not much."

"The secret realm of the royal family is opened every 100 years, but you know, what did I see when I went in this time?" Shangguan Jinghong said mysteriously.

Condensed heart gave Shangguan a startled look: "Don't be tricky, tell me quickly."

Shangguan Jinghong raised the corner of his mouth: "A member of the Yuan family."

Ning Ningxin frowned, and then denied: "Impossible, my Leng family has not entered the secret realm, how could they enter."

Shangguan Jinghong shook his head: "The Yuan family didn't go in either. I'm talking about the Yuan family from a hundred years ago."

Ning Ning's heart trembled: "Who?"

"Yuanchen..."

Condensed heart took a breath, of course she knows who Yuan Chen is, and it is a compulsory course for every family member to know about each family: "Yuan Chen was the only person who broke into the secret realm of the royal family more than 200 years ago. Later, there was no news, he... is still alive?"

Shangguan Jinghong nodded: "Live well."

Ning Ningxin frowned a little: "Has he come out of the secret realm?"

Shangguan Jinghong took a strange look at Ning Xin, and he suddenly understood that the four great families did not agree with each other. Once one family breaks the balance, it will definitely pose a threat to the other three families: "Hehe, Ning Xin, you need to worry too much, even though he is alive , but his martial arts are completely abolished."

Ning Ning breathed a sigh of relief: "Then he didn't come out?"

Shangguan Jinghong shook his head: "No. Maybe he really doesn't want to come out, maybe he can't come out, but I want to go in and take a look."

Neither Ning Xin nor Shangguan Jinghong were talking, Shangguan Jinghong looked at the three practitioners again, turned his head and pulled Ning Xin: "Ning Xin, let's go back, let these three boys practice by themselves."

Ning Ningxin silently followed Shangguan Jinghong, but said with some concern: "They practice like this?"

Shangguan Jinghong smiled and said: "It's okay, they are far beyond this limit, and I estimate that they will see results within three days."

……

The next day, Shangguan Jinghong didn't go to see them anymore, he just drank tea with Ning Ningxin and Biling in the hall, when suddenly a disciple broke in: "Elder Shangguan, is there someone looking for you outside the door?"

Shangguan Jinghong was a little puzzled, who would come to me: "Go and let him in."

As soon as the visitor came in, Shangguan Jinghong frowned, and the people in the court said, "I have seen Shangguan worship!"

Shangguan pressed his head in shock: "What's the matter?"

"Reporting to the Shangguan, Lord Jin please return to the capital as soon as possible."

Shangguan Jinghong was taken aback, Zhao Tianqi looking for me?Why did he send a servant from the palace to send a message: "I see, can you tell me something?"

The man frowned and lowered his head to think for a while: "Shangguan worships, the emperor... has passed away."

Shangguan was startled, the hand holding the teacup was squeezed slightly, and it was crushed: "How did you die?"

"Poisoned..."

"Poisoned? What about Eunuch Wei?"

"Ever since the emperor passed away, Eunuch Wei has resigned from his position as chief steward and went to the Hall of Mental Cultivation. Now the king of Jin presides over the overall situation in the palace."

"So, King Jin has inherited the throne?"

"This... this, I don't know about this, it's just that King Jin sent a villain to find Shangguan to enshrine and go to the capital."

Shangguan Jinghong roughly guessed the reason. After the death of the emperor, Wei Xianzhong was unwilling to serve others and retreated to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, while the other princes and princes would fight for the throne. Zhao Tianqi probably didn't want to get involved in the throne, but because Wei Xianzhong retired, Zhao Tianqi's side There should be no one available, and he wants me to go back to help: "Okay, I see, you go back and tell King Jin, I will be there later."

After sending that person away, Ning Ning stepped forward and said, "Jinghong, I'm going with you this time."

Shangguan Jinghong took Ning Ningxin's little hand and squeezed it: "You stay here, this time I will let the master go with me." After finishing speaking, he was about to go to Hong Tianyu, when he suddenly remembered the three boys in the back mountain: "Yes Now, Ning Xin, at this time tomorrow, you will bring back the three boys who are practicing in the back mountain, and don't tell them anything these few days, and don't teach them." After finishing speaking, he went to Hong Tianyu's residence.

When you get to the door, you are not polite, just push the door and enter: "Master."

Hong Tianyu was breathing, but was interrupted by Shangguan Jinghong, and looked at him helplessly: "You kid, don't you know how to knock when you enter the door?"

"I'm not in a hurry, master, the apprentice has something to ask you for."

"Go ahead."

"The apprentice has accepted an errand to go to the capital this time. I don't know if you have time, master..."

Hong Tianyu glanced at Shangguan Jinghong, and slowly said, "Is there any trouble?"

Shangguan Jinghong was a little embarrassed by Hong Tianyu's question: "It's not that there is trouble, just take precautions, master, you know that although I have been in the rivers and lakes for many years, if I can live, no one will want to die, right? When Qian Fan entered the capital, he almost died, so...hehe."

Hong Tianyu sighed: "Forget it, I'll accompany you there. It just so happens that I have a friend in the capital that I haven't seen for a long time."

Shangguan was stunned for a moment, Hong Tianyu's friend?Isn't that an old monster, is there such a master in the capital?

Hong Tianyu was not procrastinating, he stood up and prepared to go to the capital after speaking, Shangguan Jinghong tidied up hastily, before leaving Ning Ningxin repeatedly told everyone to be careful, Shangguan Jinghong agreed, and left Mount Emei that day.

He rushed to the capital that night, and as soon as he arrived in the capital, Hong Tianyu said he was going to meet a friend, and then came back to find Shangguan Jinghong, who then plunged into the Prince Jin's mansion.

Zhao Tianqi was overjoyed when he saw Shangguan Jinghong: "Brother Shangguan, you are finally here."

Shangguan Jinghong was not polite, and went straight to the point: "My lord, why are you looking for me so urgently?"

Zhao Tianqi sighed: "Hey! Brother Huang passed away suddenly. We were caught off guard. Brother Huang left behind a young son who was just 12 years old this year. Most of the court officials supported my nephew's ascension to the throne, but my two brothers were very restless. ah."

Shangguan Jinghong lowered his head and pondered for a while: "It should be the Eleventh Prince?"

"That's right, but it's not just him, the sixth son got involved this time."

"Hey, Diwang Wuqing's family, but speaking of it, this is the prince's family business, what do you want me to do?" Shangguan Jinghong deliberately wanted to put down the pick.

Zhao Tianqi said: "Brother Shangguan, you can't say that. This is not only a family matter but also a state matter. How can Brother Shangguan ignore it as a priest? And this time Peng Anyu is also involved. He is with my sixth brother. Only Eunuch Wei can shock them in the palace, now, Eunuch Wei has retired to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, I went to him, he only said that he would preserve the blood of the emperor, hey!"

Shangguan Jinghong was silent: "My lord, what do you want me to do?"

Zhao Tianqi looked majestic: "Tomorrow morning, please come forward and support the prince as emperor."

Shangguan Jinghong smiled wryly: "My lord, you think highly of me too, do I have that much energy?"

Zhao Tianqi said: "It's because the prince doesn't have a master to escort him, so he has been bullied repeatedly. Tomorrow, as long as the Shangguan brothers come forward to support him, I and all the ministers will definitely support him."

Shangguan Jinghong was silent in thought, Zhao Tianqi looked anxious: "Brother Shangguan, I beg you, my emperor brother only has such a blood, please help me!"

Shangguan Jinghong hates others begging him the most, not to mention Zhao Tianqi has always taken good care of him: "My lord, I agree. Tomorrow, my lord will just support the emperor, and I will watch from the sidelines."

Originally, Zhao Tianqi wanted to keep Shangguan Jinghong to stay, but Shangguan Jinghong always cared about Hong Tianyu, so he declined Zhao Tianqi's persuasion. It was already midnight when he came out of the palace, and he waited and waited at the place where he broke up with Hong Tianyu Can't wait for Hong Tianyu, so he also got up and went to Zangbao Pavilion, walking all the way, Shangguan Jinghong raised the corner of his mouth, someone followed him, and he followed him as soon as he came out of the palace, thinking that Shangguan Jinghong turned around and entered a dead end, feeling behind him The murderous intention suddenly appeared, and Shangguan Jinghong also became murderous. The Longquan sword on his back came out of his body, and there was a sharp sound like a dragon's chant. It was the scar-faced man who intercepted Zhao Tianqi's family that day, and the other one was bald, but Shangguan Jinghong felt that this bald man should not be underestimated: "Hehe, you have been with me for a long time, are you finally willing to come out?"

……

Just when Shangguan drew his sword in shock, two people in a secret place in the capital suddenly opened their eyes: "Brother, Longquan is in the capital."

"Longquan is out of the body, it seems that there is trouble, let's go, we should also meet the new owner of Longquan."

……

"Amitabha, benefactor, I don't want to be your enemy, as long as you leave the capital, I will not make things difficult for you." The bald man said slowly with a calm expression.

Shangguan startled and laughed. Originally, I really didn’t want to take care of this matter. Now it’s fine. If someone makes trouble, then I will take care of it to the end. With this temper, the more you don’t let me do something, the more I will do it: “Hey, no way. , I still have a friend in the capital, I have to wait for him to join me before I can leave the capital."

The bald head clasped his hands together: "Since that's the case, I'll offend you." As soon as the words fell, Shangguan Jinghong slammed out a palm, as long as he accepted the move, he didn't want two middle-aged people to suddenly fall in front of Shangguan Jinghong and take his place. Shangguan Jinghong blocked the bald head's palm.

Shangguan Jinghong was a little surprised, who are these two people, how can they help me if they don't know each other?But since someone helped me, I have to say something: "Thank you two big brothers for your help."

One of the middle-aged men glanced at Shangguan Jinghong, turned around and said to the bald and scar-faced man, "Come on, let me play with you." The bald-headed and scar-faced man felt it even with Shangguan Jinghong, and his heart sank. What's the situation, he helped himself just now, but now he used his aura to suppress himself, and his stubborn temper also came up. The momentum of Tao was released suddenly. The middle-aged man was unprepared at first. The aura of the middle-aged man was cultivated for many years. He was very confident. After saying "Get out", the two of them were relieved and fled quickly.

The middle-aged man looked at Shangguan Jinghong again, as if to confirm that the aura was indeed released by the person in front of him. After a while, the two saluted at the same time: "See the new master."

Now Shangguan Jinghong was really confused: "You... who are you?"

"Long Yi."

"Dragon Two."

Shangguan Jinghong stammered and said: "I have never seen you, you call me master?"

Long Yi and Long Er looked at each other: "It seems that the master understands that we are the Dragon Guard, and the Longquan sword in the master's hand is the symbol to command the Dragon Guard."

Shangguan Jinghong was holding the sword, no wonder Zhao Tianjing wanted to find this sword, so there was such a team: "Then you belong to the royal family?"

Long Yi smiled: "Master, although we were a team created by the emperor back then, we didn't belong to the royal family. Without the Longquan sword, even the emperor couldn't command us."

"So when the Longquan sword was lost, there was no one to command you?"

Long Yi said: "Of course not, the Longquan sword is made of spirit iron, and it has a very spiritual energy. It only needs to inject blood essence to gain Longquan's approval, and we can also obtain Longquan's breath from our body. Therefore, as long as a person is alive, even if Longquan Lost, we can still recognize the breath."

Shangguan Jinghong rolled his eyes: "So, you are listening to me now?"

Long Yi and Long Er firmly nodded.

"Okay, then go and do something with me tomorrow."
