Taiqing Sword

Chapter 43, Dragon Guard ([-])
Shangguan Jinghong was about to leave after finishing speaking, but was stopped by Long Yi: "Master, this subordinate dares to ask the master to go to the headquarters of Longwei. For many years, Longwei has never had a master. I think they are very willing to see the master. .”

Shangguan Jinghong frowned: "Let's go another day."

Long Yi had no choice but to say, "Okay, then this subordinate is resigning."

Long Yi had just walked a few steps, Shangguan Jinghong called him again: "Wait a minute, Long Yi, how many people are there in Longwei?"

Long Yi replied: "Return to Master, there are a total of one hundred and eight people."

"How is the cultivation base?"

"Among the Dragon Guards, only Long Er and I are in the innate realm, and the rest are half-innate."

Shangguan Jinghong's ears buzzed, he must have heard wrong, right?Asked again: "Say it again."

Although Long Yi felt a little strange, he still said it a second time.

Shangguan Jinghong gasped: "Long Yi, wait for me to go to the headquarters of Longwei."

Long was overjoyed, and immediately said to Long Er: "Long Er, you go back and gather everyone first, I will be there in a while with the master."

At this time, Shangguan Jinghong has not recovered from the shock. More than 100 half-step innate masters and two innate peak masters. What a powerful lineup. I think Qing Xuzi was only a half-step innate realm back then, but he almost missed it several times. He took his own life, and the world is still revered as a martial arts myth. Now, as long as he waved his hand, a group of half-step innate masters would risk their lives for him. In front of the courtyard gate.

Shangguan Jinghong withdrew his thoughts and looked at the dilapidated surroundings, and frowned: "Can people live in this place?"

Long Yi blushed when he heard the words, it was indeed unsightly, Longwei had no owner for more than 100 years, and naturally had no source of income, and these people all made an oath that they would never vote for others at any time: "Master, we are used to living here. , I didn't care too much, I made you laugh."

Shangguan Jinghong never misses the opportunity to tease people: "In the realm of congenital, there are still a group of half-step congenitals who live in such a place. It's an eye-opener!"

Long Yi hurriedly changed the subject: "Master, please come in quickly, Long Er should have made arrangements."

As soon as Shangguan Jinghong entered the door, a group of people stood in the yard, Long Er stood in front, Long Yi hurried over to lead the crowd, and immediately saluted Shangguan Jinghong
"Long Yi."

"Dragon Two."

"Bring the members of the Dragon Guards and see the master."

Shangguan Jinghong was extremely excited at this moment, such a group of people would soon be his own: "Get up, get up."

"Thank you master!" Long Yi stood up slowly: "Master, please come inside."

Shangguan Jinghong was not polite, and walked in first. Although the hall is dilapidated, the place is not small. Except for the chair at the head, the other chairs are covered with dust. Long Yi cupped his hands at Shangguan Jinghong: "Master, please take a seat." .”

Shangguan Jinghong exhaled, and stepped up: "Everyone sit down too."

A group of people found their seats one after another, and sat down without paying attention to the dust. After the dim lights in the hall, Shangguan was surprised to see that most of the people here were dressed in shabby clothes, which seemed to have been worn for many years.

"Long Yi, where's their list?"

Long Yi stood up: "Master, we don't have a name list, only Long Er and I have names, and none of them have names until they reach the Innate Realm."

Shangguan Jinghong nodded slightly: "Send someone to Wanbao Pavilion, do you know the location?"

A person stood up: "Master, I know the place, I will go."

"Okay, when we arrive at Wanbao Pavilion, tell the pavilion owner, Qin Zheng, to come here." Shangguan Jinghong originally wanted to find a place to rest, but he was so excited to take Longwei away that he couldn't sleep anymore.

The man nodded immediately, and was about to go out, Shangguan Jinghong called him immediately: "Do you know my name? You go find someone?"

The man said very seriously: "The master is looking for him, so he must come."

Shangguan was shocked and happy: "Qin Zheng is also my subordinate. He runs Wanbao Pavilion, collects information, and has a wealth of wealth. It seems that this place has been broken down to this state. If it is not repaired, it may not be able to live for a few years. And you, one so if you offend him, you can forget about repairing the house."

As soon as the man heard this, Long Yi stood up suddenly: "Master, we are all used to it, and besides walking on rivers and lakes, it is not bad to have a tile to cover us."

Shangguan Jinghong waved his hand: "Since you're following me, it's naturally different, remember my name is Shangguan Jinghong, let's go."

The man flew forward immediately after receiving the order.

"Long Yi, you've been living here for so many years? I think it should be as easy to get some property with your means, right? How did you get to this point?"

Long nodded and remained silent for a while, then said: "Master doesn't know something..."

"Don't call me master, you don't need to call me that, you can call me son in the future." Shangguan Jinghong felt uncomfortable when he heard the master's address.

Long nodded: "Yes, son, you may not know that we swear to be loyal to the owner of the Longquan sword, and no one will betray us, otherwise we wouldn't be so hard-pressed."

Shangguan Jinghong looked at Long Yi with some admiration: "Long Yi, do you take the oath so seriously?"

Long Yi was stunned: "Master, it's not that we value the oath, but we have to."

"What do you mean?"

"The oath we swear is a blood oath."

Shangguan Jinghong was a little surprised: "What is a blood oath?"

"The blood oath is an oath to nourish Gu worms with your own blood essence. Once you swear to be loyal, you will not betray. Even the slightest thought of betrayal will be extremely painful." Long Yi still had lingering fears when he said it, not at all like someone from an innate realm. master.

"How could you make such an oath?"

Long Yi didn't speak, Long Er explained to Shangguan Jinghong: "My lord, this oath was made by the old master."

Shangguan Jinghong was still waiting to ask, but Qin Zheng hurried over at this time: "My lord, you are really here, I thought this person was cheating on me."

Shangguan Jinghong saw Qin Zheng with a smile: "It's just in time, Mr. Qin, let me introduce you, this is Long Yi, this is Long Er, this is Qin Zheng, Mr. Qin, my housekeeper."

Long Yi and Long Er looked at each other and cupped their hands at Qin Zheng: "Butler Qin."

Qin Zheng didn't dare to trust him, he clearly felt the evil spirit on the two of them, and thought that the young master had taken in two more masters: "Don't dare, two brothers, this old man is just taking care of the Wanbao Pavilion for the young master."

Shangguan Jinghong waved his hand: "Okay, since you all know each other, Mr. Qin, you have also seen the place where Long Yi and the others live, and get some money from Wanbao Pavilion to repair it, and then make some clothes for them."

Qin Zheng nodded and said, "Young Master, don't worry, I will definitely handle this matter well."

Long Yi was a little moved. When meeting for the first time, Shangguan Jinghong's enthusiasm made him a little uncomfortable: "My lord, you don't need to spend money for us. As long as you allow me, we can be self-sufficient."

Shangguan Jinghong smiled and said: "Since you are following me, then I have to control you to the end. As the saying goes, you can't let the horse just run, you have to let the horse eat grass."

Qin Zheng interjected: "Young master, I will find a few people to mend it tomorrow, and they have to measure the clothes themselves, so it's hard to estimate."

Shangguan Jinghong nodded: "Old Qin, you just go and do it, I have to go to the palace tomorrow."

When Long Yi heard the words, he immediately added a sentence: "Young master, just now the young master told me and Long Er to go to work with the young master, that is to enter the palace?"

"Yes, Not Bad."

Qin Laowei frowned: "Young master, you can say that you survived a catastrophe when you entered the palace last time. What's the matter this time?"

Shangguan Jinghong sighed: "Hey, the emperor has passed away, and the princes and princes are fighting for the throne. In order to keep the only blood of the emperor, the king of Jin wants to support the prince as the emperor. Please help me. The king of Jin used to treat me well, I can't Standing by and watching."

Qin Lao thought about it for a while, and guessed roughly: "It seems that someone wanted to assassinate the little emperor, and King Jin couldn't stand it anymore, so he invited the young master here."

Shangguan Jinghong nodded with a wry smile, Long Yiyi patted his chest and said: "Young master, don't worry, whoever dares to oppose you tomorrow, I, Longwei, will let them die without a place to bury them."

Shangguan Jinghong waved his hand: "It's best not to, the position of emperor involves too much, once the killing ring is activated, the involvement will be very extensive, so it's best to resolve it peacefully if you can't do anything, of course, if there is an eye-catching lesson, it's better Yes, King Jin asked me for help, no matter whether we can make it in the end, we have to have some attitude."

Long Yi narrowed his eyes: "My lord, then tomorrow..."

"Tomorrow, you will follow me and enter the palace together. Long Er will take the dragon guards to guard outside the palace, just in case. Oh, by the way, the two people who stopped me tonight are one of them vying for the throne of emperor. sent by His Majesty."

Long Yi's eyes sharpened: "My lord, the two of you tonight seem to be from the Buddhist sect in terms of their exercises."

"Well, they are indeed Buddhists."

Long Yi didn't speak, Long Er said: "This is strange, the Buddhism has lived a life of indifference to the world for hundreds of years, since the battle with the Demon Sect many years ago, the Buddhism has disappeared, how come out now? It's about the royal family."

Shangguan Jinghong nodded: "Indeed, but there is nothing wrong with those two tonight, I'm afraid they have stronger masters, and our opponents are two, and the other directly poached the imperial court's enshrined Peng Anyu, Thinking about it, since he dared to fight for the throne, there must not be only one Peng Anyu, so he must be on his guard."

Long Yi cupped his hands towards Shangguan Jinghong: "My lord, don't worry, Peng Anyu's subordinates know that I want to kill him like slaughtering a chicken, and I don't even care about Wei Xianzhong. What I fear is Wang Zhen."

Shangguan Jinghong was taken aback, after the royal secret realm, he had heard of Wang Zhen's name, he never thought that this person was so powerful, Long Yi's words also aroused Shangguan Jinghong's interest: "Long Yi, who is this Wang Zhen? "

Long Yi said: "When the old master was alive, he was also the emperor, Wang Zhen, who was close to the old queen. At that time, Wang Zhen was already a congenital peak master. At that time, one of the old queen's grandsons took a fancy to the girl from the Yun family. The Yun family was annoyed when they failed to propose marriage several times, so they forced the Yun Family to inquire about their crimes. The old master recruited me to fight against the powerful enemy. At that time, I just stepped into Xiantian, and I was defeated with only one move. None of the six were opponents of the Yun family. The head of the Yun family insisted on killing the grandson of the old queen, and the old queen sent Wang Zhen out of anger. But he was severely injured, and this was the end of the matter. From then on, Wang Zhen lived in the harem for a long time, lived in seclusion, and his martial arts became more and more advanced. It is said that Wei Xianzhong fought against him and was repelled by Wang Zhen."

Shangguan Jinghong nodded, so it was like this, so it seems that this Wang Zhen is really not simple: "Long Yi, will Wang Zhen interfere with the matter of the throne?"

"According to my subordinates, Wang Zhen won't intervene, otherwise it wouldn't be Wei Xianzhong's turn to be the manager."

"That's good, even if he intervenes, I'm not afraid." Shangguan Jinghong was indeed not afraid, after all Hong Tianyu was still in the capital.

Long Yi didn't know where Shangguan Jinghong's self-confidence came from, but he firmly believed that Wang Zhen would not intervene.

Shangguan Jinghong walked out the door and saw that the sky was already slightly bright: "Long Yi, get ready, we should enter the palace soon. Long Er, you should also be careful, if someone really breaks into the palace, you don't have to show mercy , but if someone has high martial arts skills, remember to protect yourself."

After arranging all this, Shangguan Jinghong raised his head and took a breath, praying silently in his heart, hoping that everything will be safe and nothing will happen.
