Judge of the Lamp

Chapter 199 The Dragon and Sparrow Controversy
Yan Huan walked around in the ecstasy circle for three whole days, exhausted all his strength, but couldn't get out of the magic circle.

If it was Liang Gongping who fell into the ecstasy, it would take half a day to find the exit.

But Yan Huan didn't have this ability, Suzaku cultivators were not afraid of getting hurt, they were afraid of this method of testing the school's perception.

The magic circle was not that big, about a mile in radius, Yan Huan couldn't get out even if he walked, and he couldn't fly out, he just wandered between a piece of loess and a mess of rocks, and didn't find the law of the formation at all.

At noon on the third day, Yan Huan finally found a life-saving straw.

Under a stone as tall as a man, there is an apricot core.

This apricot core was of great help. Yan Huan used the technique of the creation of all things to make the apricot core grow wildly. After an hour, the apricot core grew into an apricot tree more than [-] feet high.

Yan Huan allowed the root system of this apricot tree to continue to grow until it was completely deformed, allowing the roots to spread beyond the magic circle.

He followed the longest fibrous root and walked out of the magic circle.

There are many ways to crack the ecstasy array, and this is the most laborious method.

After exiting the ecstasy formation, Yan Huan found himself in a wilderness.

Soaring into the sky, after flying more than a hundred miles, Yan Huan finally saw a family, and when he landed, he asked, this is the boundary of Yanzhou.

This is too absurd, it's all in the East China Sea!

Yan Huan rubbed his brows and smiled wryly.

Yanzhou is more than [-] miles away, how did you come to this place?
No need to ask, this is a trick played by Liang Gongping and Tai Bu. They used the yin and yang magic circle to distract me, and then destroyed the blood tree in the dark!
And wait until they return to the capital, and then settle accounts with them.

Yan Huan can fly ten miles with just two breaths, and the journey of more than two thousand miles doesn't seem too far away.

But the skill can't be turned on all the time, after flying three to five hundred miles, Yan Huan has to take a breather.

The more I thought about it along the way, the more angry I became, and when I flew to the capital, it was already late at night.

I thought to go back to Suzaku Palace first, eat something, drink some water, and then go to Canglong Palace to settle accounts, but when I arrived in the capital, I found that Suzaku Palace was surrounded by Canglongwei.

Yan Huan was furious, landed in front of the gate of Suzaku Palace, and shouted at Liang Jixiong: "What do you want to do?"

"What am I doing?" Liang Jixiong said angrily, "I was about to ask you, where is Elder Shengci?"

……

In the Zhonglang courtyard, Chang De took less than half a day to bring back the little eunuch Xu Zhiqiong, who was obedient and asked what to say.

Xu Zhiqiong asked, "What's your name?"

"My name is Lu Qun. When the prince was alive, he always called me Xiao Qunzi."

Little skirt?
it seems a bit...

Xu Zhiqiong asked again: "Do you know about King Huai planting the blood tree?"

Lu Qun said: "Blood tree, but that tree that can talk?"

Xu Zhiqiong nodded.

Lu Qun continued: "I know this. The prince has planted nineteen talking trees, and let me remember each one."

nineteen?
so much!
This little eunuch is probably lying, right?

If he saw one or two trees, it would be reasonable. He has seen all nineteen trees?Let him write it down?How could King Huai tell an eunuch such a confidential matter?
"If you are afraid of being beaten, just say it clearly, I won't beat you. If you dare to lie to me, I will hand you over to Lao Chang."

Lu Qun sobbed and said: "I didn't lie to you, the prince loved me very much when he was alive, and said he couldn't leave me for a moment."

"Can't you leave for a moment?"

"Even if you break into the palace, you have to take me with you."

Yes, I did take him with me all the time.

King Huai's orientation is too...

How did he give birth to Liang Yuming?

Xu Zhiqiong asked again: "Do you know what the blood tree is for?"

Lu Qun said: "I know, that kind of tree can produce sap like blood, and drinking that sap can improve one's cultivation.

Originally, I was not very talented, and it was difficult for me to enter the rank. After drinking the sap, I was promoted to the eighth rank in three years.

There is also Hua Chenghui, who originally only had the eighth rank of the Dao of Killing, and he is also untalented. Because of his loyalty to the prince, after drinking the sap, it took him five years to cultivate to the fourth rank. "

Can the blood tree improve cultivation?

No wonder there are so many masters under King Huai, and even the fourth-rank Sha Dao appeared. It turned out that he used the blood tree to cultivate them.

"I heard that there are ten masters under King Huai. Are these people cultivated by King Huai?"

Lu Qun shook his head and said, "Six of them were cultivated by the lord, but those like Mr. Xiao, when they joined the lord, their cultivation was not low."

Master Xiao?Xiao Situ?
Why have you met so many people surnamed Xiao recently?

"Who is Situ Xiao?"

"I don't know the name, but I only know that this person has a fifth-rank yin and yang cultivation base, and a seventh-rank killing dao cultivation base."

Fifth-rank Yin Yang, seventh-rank Kill Dao!
This person is Xiao Songting!

The old man who was in charge of the yamen, the Green Lantern, was the bastard who let Liang Yuming go and killed the old red lantern Yi Xulou!

This fellow is still alive, and has been following King Huai!
It's not unusual for him to follow King Huai, but are Xiao Songting and Xiao Situ the same person?
Besides following King Huai, does this fellow have affairs with other organizations?
This is a ruthless character, besides him, there is Feng Shaoqing, and the mysterious person who escaped with Xiao Songting, who is this person?
Xu Zhiqiong asked Lu Qun to confess the characteristics of the top ten masters one by one. Before Lu Qun could finish describing the characteristics of Hua Chenghui, something in Xu Zhiqiong's ears kept vibrating.

Lin Qianniang left an osmanthus petal in Xu Zhiqiong's ear, and the petals trembled, which proved that Qianniang was urging Xu Zhiqiong to go back.

Xu Zhiqiong instructed Chang Decai: "Ask out the identities of all ten masters, and make a list for me! Also ask about other things related to King Huai!"

Chang Decai nodded and said, "It's not difficult, but I'm afraid that Shi Shuangliu won't be taken care of."

"Give it to Yang Wu first!"

Chang Decai couldn't trust Yang Wu: "If I leave it to him, I'm afraid Miss Shi won't be able to keep her body."

Yang Wu said angrily: "What are you talking about? Is she as handsome as you? Isn't it enough for me to have you?"

Chang Decai gritted his teeth and said, "Believe it or not, our family will cleanse you right now?"

……

Xu Zhiqiong returned to the East Palace, and the prince was looking for him in a hurry.

"Where did you go? Something happened to Suzaku Palace!"

"What happened to Suzaku Palace, what has it to do with us?"

This was Xu Zhiqiong's habitual thinking. Everything that happened in Daxuan seemed to have nothing to do with Suzaku Palace.

Based on this inference, what happened in Suzaku Palace seems to have nothing to do with Daxuan.

But this time the situation was different, there was a conflict between Suzaku Palace and Canglong Palace.

"Elder Shengci Liang Gongping and Uncle Dazong of Suzaku Palace went to Ponuyuan together to check the blood tree planted by King Huai. As a result, Uncle Shengci came back, but Elder Shengci did not come back!"

What does this mean?
The Great Master of Suzaku Palace killed Elder Shengci?
After killing Elder Shengci, what would he come back for if he didn't run away?This is too rampant!

Uncle Da Zong really did this?
"What is his purpose in doing this?"

The prince also found it puzzling: "I think Uncle Da Zong discovered the blood tree, and Elder Shengci deliberately concealed it. The two clashed, and Uncle Da Zong injured the elder by mistake."

accidental injury?

What resentment what?
As for such a ruthless hand?

What makes Xu Zhiqiong even more puzzling is why Uncle Da Zong has such a strong sense of justice?Why do you have to keep an eye on the blood tree?

The prince knows about this: "Planting blood trees is a special means of the chaotic and impermanent way. Among all countries, the chaotic and impermanent way belongs to the evil way. If a country's royal family has an affair with the evil way, it is a great scandal, and it may even become a trigger for war. Tell the truth."

"Yu Xianguo wants to go to war with Daxuan?"

"That's not true. Yu Xianhuang and Daxuan have a Xuanyu alliance, and the two countries will not go to war easily."

"What is the Xuan Yu Alliance?"

"The covenant between Daxuan and Yu Xian stipulates three matters. One is that the two countries will never go to war; Daxuan has a bumper harvest year after year,

Daxuan's territory is [-]% smaller than that of Dagan in the previous dynasty, but the number of people is several times that of Dagan, and it is far more prosperous than Dagan. "

Xu Zhiqiong said: "Is this covenant really count? Liang Yuming colluded with the Gu sect and recruited thousands of Gu masters to usurp the throne, but this is not considered a war with Daxuan?"

The crown prince shook his head: "This is a matter of the Gu sect, and has nothing to do with Emperor Yu Xian."

Xu Zhiqiong became more and more puzzled: "The Gu sect is already in the territory of Yu Xianguo, how can it be said that it has nothing to do with Yu Xianhuang?"

"Yu Xianguo is in a different situation than Daxuan."

The prince told Xu Zhiqiong about Yu Xianguo's situation. Simply put, Yu Xianguo's situation is similar to the Eastern Zhou Dynasty that Xu Zhiqiong was familiar with.

The entire Yu Xianguo is under the control of the true god Suzaku, but the Suzaku cultivators are concentrated in the hands of Yu Xianhuang, but Yu Xianhuang himself has very limited strength in Yu Xianguo.

The Gu Sect is a branch of the Vermillion Bird Dao, so it is also a part of the Vermilion Bird Dao. The Gu Sect is more powerful than Yu Xianhuang, they don't obey Yu Xianhuang's orders,
Therefore, the grievances between the Gu Sect and Daxuan are not directly related to Yu Xianhuang. The Gu Sect tried to usurp the throne of Daxuan, but Dazong Bo of Suzaku Palace turned a blind eye, because Dazong Bo was originally Yu Xianhuang's man.

Xu Zhiqiong was stunned: "The chaos is like this, does Suzaku really care?"

The prince sighed: "As far as I know, the True God Suzaku has been asleep for many years, and the stars under his command have their own thoughts, which led to today's chaos."

Suzaku really fell asleep?
The prince continued: "Over the years, Yu Xian's royal family has strictly adhered to the orthodoxy of Suzaku's way of life. Although they are unable to control the government, Suzaku Palace has done their best in Daxuan to ensure that Daxuan has a good harvest year after year.
But Daxuan did not give Yu Xianhuang much help, Yu Xianhuang was quite dissatisfied with this, presumably he wanted to use the matter of the blood tree as a threat to get more support from Daxuan,

If Daxuan refuses to agree, Yu Xianhuang would not dare to fight Daxuan, but Yu Xianhuang will spread this matter to the surrounding countries, and Daxuan will become the target of public criticism at that time, and he is afraid of being besieged. "

Xu Zhiqiong frowned and said, "It makes sense, but Uncle Da Zong's actions are confusing. Since he wants to win support, what is the meaning of killing Elder Canglong?"

The crown prince sighed: "Yan Huan has a fiery temper, and Elder Sheng Ci likes to make love with each other, the two have a serious dispute, and there is a real possibility of causing death!
If this matter is not handled properly, Daxuan and Yu Xian will turn their faces, and the harvest will not be guaranteed in the future, but Xuanren will starve! "

Speaking of this, the prince was full of worry.

Xu Zhiqiong was right, the prince was really thinking about the people of Daxuan.

But the key to this matter depends on how Emperor Zhaoxing handles it.

While discussing, Zhong Shen came to see the crown prince: "Your Highness, there are fears of accidents in the capital, Your Majesty ordered Xu Zhiqiong to return to the Lantern Yamen immediately, assist Shi Xun, maintain order, and prevent people from causing trouble!"

Transfer me back to the Yamen in charge of lamps?

Xu Zhiqiong was trying to figure out what Emperor Zhaoxing was thinking.

What he was worried about was definitely not someone causing trouble in the capital. If Canglong Palace and Suzaku Palace really fought, Xu Zhiqiong's role would be very limited.

I was transferred to the palace before to prevent me from continuing to investigate the blood tree.

King Huai is responsible for the matter of the blood tree now, and he transferred me away because he was worried that I would stay with the prince and cause trouble in the palace.

Emperor Zhaoxing was really cautious.

Since there was an imperial decree, Xu Zhiqiong had to obey it, so Xu Zhiqiong left the palace overnight. Before leaving, he repeatedly told the prince: "If it is not necessary, don't leave the East Palace, and be careful in everything!"

With the protection of Zhong Shen, the prince's safety should not be a big problem.

But Xu Zhiqiong himself is hard to say.

Emperor Zhaoxing didn't dare to kill me because he was worried that True God Baihu would get angry.

But if there is a fight with Suzaku Palace and I am killed by the Suzaku cultivator, even if the White Tiger True God has fire, he can't spread it on Emperor Zhaoxing.

The prince must be careful, I have to be more careful than the prince.

……

In front of the gate of Suzaku Palace, Liang Jixiong shouted angrily: "Yanhuan, let me ask you again, where is Elder Shengci?"

Yan Huan said: "How many times do I have to answer you? I don't know where Elder Shengci is. He and I have fallen into the trap of traitors. If you really take his safety into consideration and discuss countermeasures with me calmly, you If you keep messing around here, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Liang Jixiong shouted: "I'm just waiting for you to turn your face and trample your Suzaku Palace to the ground!"
