My Taoist buddy has practiced surrogacy

Chapter 237 Preparation
As a prisoner of this imperial capital, what right does he have to complain about what his only friend has done for him? After all, these things are for his own good, and now he can only recover from his injuries as soon as possible.

It was already half a month after Zhou Xing was able to get up and walk. Zhou Xing's face was still pale, and he looked sickly. Cheng Wugong, in the imperial capital, is already very terrifying. The worship hall is the forbidden area of ​​Xingchen Pavilion. There are seven huge courtyards, with rockeries, lotus ponds, and all kinds of rare and rare plants, just like a fairyland. Serving servants, no one can enter the courtyard on weekdays, even the master of the Xingchen Pavilion and those academicians with high status need to get the consent of those priests, even the little emperor, if he wants to see Murong Jue, he needs to send someone With a notification, one can imagine the status of the enshrined hall in the imperial capital, and those enshrined are also like people who do not eat the fireworks of the world. Except for occasional appearances, they will only stay in their own yard, either retreating or staying in seclusion. The two studied martial arts experience, except for Murong Jue who occasionally went out, Zhou Xing never saw them go out.

"No wonder there is no mention of a shrine in the imperial capital." Zhou Xing muttered to himself, people like these have already become old gods, it is really hard to hear about them, the streets of the imperial capital are very prosperous, Zhou Xing is here Those streets that are both familiar and unfamiliar, he has not been back to the imperial capital for ten years, and the people in the imperial capital already think that he has died in that accident. Years ago, the crown prince who ascended to the throne was taken away by his younger brother, Prince Rui, just one month after ascending the throne. He thought that the orthodox emperor had already been secretly removed by Prince Rui, but he did not expect that the orthodox emperor Not only did he not die, but he fell into hibernation and regained the throne ten years ago. It was also ten years ago that Zhou Xing left the imperial capital and went to the Jianghu. What does the accident have to do with it.

"Eh, it's him?" An exclamation sounded, Zhou Xing was seen among the crowd in the bustling street, but he was still seen by a gaze.

"Princess, who is it?" A maid next to her was wearing a light yellow dress, her pink face was a little immature, and she stood at the entrance of the building to prevent those people from approaching the building. Looking at the bustling crowd eating in the street from the balcony, this may be the various states of life. Although the crowd is turbulent, but being able to see Zhou Xing among the crowd, the princess's eyes are obviously very good, and following the princess The eyes looked at the crowd, but the maid could only see the crowd.

"Do you still remember Ping Lan's Ten Strategies?" Ninth Princess said quietly.

"Princess, isn't that Zhou Zhuangyuan?" The girl's eyes were shining brightly, Ping Lan's ten strategies, it was an article that won the imperial examination champion in one fell swoop, and this article was written by a young man named Zhou Xing. Taking part in the imperial examination for the first time, it is already a very rare genius to be able to win the list. This person not only topped the list in high school, but also wrote down the Ten Strategies of Ping Lan in the imperial examination. But only important ministers can enter, and Zhou Xing is young enough to enter the cabinet. He can be said to be the youngest cabinet minister, No. 1 in the past.

"I didn't expect him to return to the imperial capital." The ninth princess looked at the white figure slowly disappearing into the crowd, with tears in her eyes, obviously caught in some memories.

"Princess, do you want to go see him?" The maid asked, although the Ninth Princess has a very respected status now, but her status is very embarrassing, because she is the ninth daughter of Prince Rui, although she was sealed by the current little emperor. She is the Ninth Princess, but she does not know how many eyes are staring at her in secret. If she goes to see Zhou Xing rashly, some people will think that she has not let go of the matter of the throne change ten years ago. After all, her father The emperor was killed by the first emperor. No one knows whether the nine princesses have any hatred for this.

"Forget it." Princess Jiu just said lightly, as if everything had nothing to do with her.

"If you want to see him, you can see him, but it doesn't matter if he wants to." He was dressed in a purple satin brocade robe, his brows were filled with a bit of majesty, and behind him was a slightly stooped old man, a maidservant. Seeing the person coming, he immediately bowed down and did not dare to look at him, because he is the current little emperor, and that old man is the little emperor's personal eunuch. The breath frightened her.

"Your Majesty, you know he's back?" Princess Jiu looked at her cousin in surprise. Of course, besides being a cousin, he was also the emperor of the Canglan Kingdom.

"Of course I know, but he is no longer Zhou Xing. Zhou Xing died ten years ago. He is called Zhou Xing." The little emperor naturally knew that Zhou Xing was coming out today, so he wanted to meet this legendary figure by chance, but he He didn't dare to approach, because he didn't want to anger this peerless powerhouse.

"Zhou Xing, what's the use of changing your name and surname." Ninth Princess sighed.

"I'm really looking forward to what kind of expression Yang Ye will have when he sees him." The little emperor sat down directly in front of the nine princesses, but said with a very expectant expression.

"Yang Ye is already the chief assistant of the dynasty, and he?" Princess Jiu shook her head. Who is Yang Ye? Who can compare with Yang Ye? Yang Ye was able to get to the present, not only relying on his talent, but also his keen eyesight and means. The late emperor was able to regain the throne. Ye would not be the youngest Chief Assistant of the Canglan Kingdom, and now he is still the Assistant Minister of the former Emperor Tuogu.

"Jiumei, you underestimate him. He is Zhou Xing, that's enough. No one in the world can underestimate him. I'm talking about the world." The little emperor bit the word "tianxia" very hard, and the little emperor had already After saying the word Jiumei, Princess Jiu had to be cautious, especially from the look in her eyes, she could see a kind of desire from the little emperor, and of course Princess Jiu knew what that desire was. As the most powerful official in the current Canglan Kingdom, he also has the name of assisting the government, controlling the government, the little emperor can't help himself, of course he wants to get rid of Yang Ye's constraints.

"Third brother, I understand, I will go to the hall of worship to find him." Ninth Princess' eyes were very surprised, but her tone was also very heavy.

"It seems that I can go back to the palace." The little emperor smiled happily. This is his most comfortable smile, especially when he heard the words "worship hall", he was very satisfied, because his sister is indeed Very smart, and the little emperor knows that many words outside are not good for this princess, but the little emperor knows that this princess may hate the late emperor, but she will definitely not hate herself, because Prince Rui was moved into the imperial tomb by him, And she was able to survive the accident ten years ago because of the little emperor. The little emperor really regarded her as a younger sister, and she also regarded the little emperor as an elder brother, so she would definitely help the little emperor deal with Yang Industry.

"It seems that you have quite a few friends." A chess piece landed on the board, and Murong Jue and Zhou Xing sat in the pavilion to play chess, while a servant stood respectfully in the distance, because a princess I want to visit the priest named Zhou Xing.

"Unexpectedly, after going out for a while, people already know that the imperial capital is indeed not a peaceful place." Zhou Xing sighed helplessly.

"If you don't want to see him, I can't force you." Murong Jue said with a smile.

"See, of course I want to see you." Not long after, the nine princesses walked into the courtyard. They were still playing chess in the gazebo, and the princess stood on the grass outside the gazebo. Although the distance was only a few feet away, it seemed that there was a torrential river that could not see the shore. Zhou Xing and Murong Jue didn't seem to see the princess in their eyes. Lost to Zhou Xing.

"Oh, I still lost." Murong Jue was of course unwilling, but there was no other way, Zhou Xing's chess skills were definitely not comparable to him, and he also knew that he was able to fight Zhou Xing for so many rounds because of Zhou Xing's wish. If Zhou Xing wanted to win half a son, he would only win half a son in the end. As for losing, Zhou Xing's world probably never lost.

"Little girl, you dare to come to see me, this courage is not small." Zhou Xing's gaze fell on Princess Jiu. It was creepy, in the surrounding air, there seemed to be countless sharp swords hanging in front of her body, as if Zhou Xing could kill her with just one thought, now she finally understood the meaning of what the little emperor said , No one in the world can despise him, but he can despise everyone in the world.

"It's not young, she must be the most courageous person I've ever met." Murong Jue also said, of course he understood why this little girl came here, of course not just to see Zhou Xing, if only to see Zhou Xing, then She has seen her on the street today, so why come here.

"Please accept me as a disciple." Princess Jiu knelt down, this was her purpose, she did not hide her purpose, so both Murong Jue and Zhou Xing knew why she came, but their faces were still very calm, Murong Jue Of course it was calm, because it had nothing to do with him, she was looking for Zhou Xing as an apprentice, but is Zhou Xing so easy to accept apprentices?No, of course not, Zhou Xing just wanted to attack the Nirvana Realm, open the way to the sky and go to the sky, but Murong Jue also knew that Zhou Xing had fetters in his heart during the battle at Linjiang. Zhou Xing himself didn't know what the shackles were. Today, he walked into the bustling streets of the imperial capital, and he seemed to have realized a little bit, but it was only a little bit.

"Do you think he will accept it?" Murong Jue asked, Zhou Xing seemed not to have heard this sentence at all.

"I don't know." Princess Jiu gave her own answer. Of course, she didn't know if Zhou Xing would accept her as a disciple. If it was Zhou Xing ten years ago, he would definitely accept her, but Zhou Xing in front of him is not ten years old anymore. The previous Zhou Xing is gone, but a strange Zhou Xing.

"I don't know, you're still here?" Zhou Xing's face was still extremely calm, but the air exuding from his body gradually turned into a cold wind. Kaka, the slight sound seemed to pluck the strings. It was pleasant and crisp ear, but followed by the cold, the cold was like a needle prick, rushing towards the Ninth Princess, she was really lucky, because she knew that Zhou Xing was Zhou Xing, she thought that Zhou Xing was no matter what Change, there are also some shadows of Zhou Xing, but she is wrong, and it is outrageously wrong, Zhou Xing's shadow can no longer be seen on Zhou Xing's body, the cold air comes from the lotus pond, and the lotus pond is actually visible to the naked eye. The speed is frozen.

"The sword has tens of millions of energy, your sword is even more terrifying." Murong Jue also praised, although the battle with Huarong Ye, although the realm did not break through, it undoubtedly raised Zhou Xing's sword to a higher level. If Huarong Ye Now in the battle with Zhou Xing, Zhou Xing didn't need to fight his back at all, and he could even kill Hua Rongye without being injured.

"Let's go back, little girl, you can't stand it." Murong Jue kindly persuaded, the ice was approaching the Ninth Princess layer by layer, the ice was not just ice, it was transformed by Zhou Xing's sword energy Of course, the more important thing is that Zhou Xing's sword has already comprehended the level of will, and without using true energy, it froze the entire lotus pond in an instant. Apart from the power of will, there is no second thing that can do it. This is already the power of a fairy.

"Why?" The nine princesses were of course puzzled, because even if Zhou Xing's sword energy froze the entire lotus pond, it could only show that Zhou Xing was very powerful. Why did Murong Jue say that she couldn't stand it? Although she stood there, she felt There was a chill, but the mere coldness was not enough to make her recede. After all, she was not a flower growing in the palace. She had also experienced blood, the change of imperial power, and blood and conspiracy. After wind and rain, even flowers will become extremely powerful, so she is not afraid of the cold, but Zhou Xing's sword is not just cold.

"Did you see it?" Murong Jue just pointed at the cold air that squirmed and spread like an earthworm, and kept freezing everything, except the water in the lotus pond, even the stones, weeds, and wood were all frozen, moving towards it bit by bit. Seeing the place where the nine princesses stood spread, although it was scary, the nine princesses were still puzzled.

"If you are touched by this frost, then you will die." Murong Jue was just telling a simple fact. Although the ice came very slowly, as long as it touched a little, even just a little, the Ninth Princess It will also fall, just because it is Zhou Xing's sword qi, just like Zhou Xing's sword, Zhou Xing's sword is a sword that kills, of course the sword qi can only kill, and the sword intent is even more murderous. Ordinary people like the nine princesses, He couldn't bear even a little bit of it, so what Murong Jue said was right, Zhou Xing was not testing her, but was preparing to let her die by the sword.

Princess Jiu is a strong person. She thought that Zhou Xing was testing her. The cold ice kept covering everything in the courtyard and spread towards her feet. She still didn't back down at all. She had read the storybook , There are always many magical stories on the rivers and lakes. For example, some stories are about apprentices. Some peerless masters test the determination of their apprentices, so they are made to kneel on their knees for days and nights, or even go to the cliffs. , to pick an insignificant little flower.
