The regent's spoiled princess wakes up

Chapter 118 Xiao Zongheng

Dong Duo took a few steps towards Zhao Shuang, with a ferocious face, threatening, "Hurry up!"

The soul of the woman in blue was almost scared, so she quickly released Ruo Ji, "Ruo Ji, come on!"

A snow-white ferocious beast pounced on Dong Duo's shoulder in an instant, and after biting, it held a bloody ear in its mouth.

"what!"

The big bearded man let out a painful howl, and then he unsheathed a scimitar and swung it towards the belly of the beast.

Zhao Shuang panicked for a moment, raised the incense burner on the table and threw it towards Dongduo, Ruo Ji took advantage of this gap to dodge in time.

"when!"

Dong Duo quickly opened the censer with a machete, and then covered his ears with one hand and came towards Zhao Shuang. Ruo Ji bit his foot again.

The two men and the dog were in a stalemate, and seeing that the scimitar in Dong Duo's hand was about to strike at the woman in blue, suddenly a bronze sword stood in front of him.

"Clang!" There was a sound of metal connecting.

A tall figure in armor appeared in front of him, and Zhao Shuang breathed a sigh of relief.

"Princess, go!" Cheng Qian glanced sideways at the woman behind him while dealing with Dong Duo's attack.

The handsome side face reflected the candlelight, his eyes were three parts concerned and seven parts worried, then he turned his head resolutely and chased after the big bearded man.

Zhao Shuang was only stunned for a moment, then hurriedly dragged Ruo Ji away.

The sun was setting, and the outside of the hall was almost completely dark. She couldn't tell the direction for a while, but only knew to run forward.

There was a faint fire and the sound of military boots hitting the ground from far to near.

In a panic, a person and a dog ran straight into the arms of a man in black.

Then I saw a black row of armored sergeants rushing into the courtyard, it was Habayashi Wei!
The man in black made a gesture, and Ming Jing led a row of soldiers into the main hall with lights on, while another row of soldiers stayed behind in the courtyard.

Ruoji was so frightened that she shivered, hid behind Zhao Shuang, and let out a low cry.

The man pulled the flustered woman in blue and asked nervously, "Are you okay?"

"My lord!" Zhao Shuang reacted, and immediately hugged the man in black and cried loudly, explaining incoherently, "It's Daoist Xiao! Daoist Xiao of Yuxu Temple is a spy of Beiliang Kingdom! He colluded with his nephew , the new emperor of Beiliang, who said he wanted to hijack me and go to Yucheng!"

"I see. I'm asking if you're alright?" Yang Xuan asked again while holding her waist.

"How can it be all right? The Yaodao just wanted me and his nephew to have a bridal chamber, scaring me to death!" Zhao Shuang said while pointing to the long-haired dog behind him, "Even Ruoji... almost Get disemboweled by them!"

Ruoji shuddered again when she heard this, and bowed her head at her feet.The scene just now still has lingering fears, Ruo Ji thinks about that scimitar, she almost becomes a dog.

"I have been investigating the matter of Yuxu Temple." Yang Xuan helped her to sit on the steps outside the main hall, took off the cloak and put it on for her.

The sergeant of Habayashi Guard brought pine torches, and the flames flickered in the courtyard at this time, reflecting the huge Eight Diagrams diagram on the ground in black and white.

"My lord has been checking Yuxuguan?" Zhao Shuang asked suspiciously, "Then why didn't you arrest that Taoist Xiao earlier?"

"During Qing Yuan's illness, this king received a secret report from the spies in the northern border. Xiao Zongheng, the master of Yuxu Temple, is a spy of the Northern Liang Kingdom. However, in order not to startle the enemy, this king has not touched him," Yang Xuan said. Then, he glanced into the hall, and saw that Mingjing had tied a gray-robed Taoist out, "Later, another secret report came from the northern border, saying that the new emperor of Beiliang, Ayan, was missing, and he might have sneaked south into Dazhou. A few spies have been planted around Xuguan."

"Who is this Ayan?" Zhao Shuang recalled the young man from the north just now.

"Back then, I led the army to regain the northern territory, and then invaded Yucheng, the capital of Beiliang, and abolished the young emperor and the queen mother, and the dragons in Beiliang had no leader." Yang Xuan held her hand and explained what happened back then, "After I retired from the army, In Beiliang, the son of King Yue, Ayan, was elected to the throne with the title of 'Xinjing', known as the new emperor of Beiliang. This Ayan was young and weak at the beginning, and the government was mostly controlled by the old forces in Beiliang, causing chaos. But in recent years The new emperor has repeatedly innovated, and the Northern Liang Kingdom gradually has the ambition to covet the Central Plains."

"My lord was soft-hearted at the beginning. Since he invaded Yucheng, he should destroy Beiliang Kingdom." Zhao Shuang asked again, "I don't think that Xiao Zongheng's Taoism is very good, so who drew the eight trigrams formation in this courtyard?" ?”

The spiritual power and effectiveness of the eight trigrams formation depends entirely on the cultivation of the person who set up the formation. With Xiao Zongheng's cultivation level, it is impossible to draw such a profound spiritual power eight trigrams formation.

"This Yuxu temple used to be the residence of Qing Wu Guoshi, and the eight trigrams formation was also painted by the Guoshi." Yang Xuan glanced at the black and white eight trigrams formation under the steps, which was vividly reflected by the firelight, and there seemed to be Yingying in the formation Ling Guang said, "Later, when the national teacher wandered around, Xiao Zongheng occupied the Yuxu Temple."

"My lord, Xiao Zongheng, the traitor of Beiliang, is here!" Ming Jing dragged a heavily tied Taoist out, clasped his fists and said, "Our people killed several northern warriors in the backyard, and we haven't found the new emperor of Beiliang for the time being. ,but……"

"But what?" The man in black frowned slightly.

"My subordinates found a wing room pasted with the word "Hi". There were red candles burning in the room, and there were traces of people's living there. It seems to be the place where the new emperor of Beiliang lived." After Ming Jing finished speaking, he kicked again. Xiao Zongheng scolded, "Kneel down! Tell me where the new emperor of Beiliang, Ayan, is!"

"Poverty... I really don't know, Ayan just went back to his room," Daoist Xiao reluctantly knelt down, looked up at the cold-faced regent, and then at the woman in blue in his arms He said, "If you don't believe me, you can ask the princess, just now Ayan really said to go back to the room and wait for her..."

Yang Xuan took the long sword from Ming Jing's hand, flashed it twice, and suddenly scraped something off Xiao Zongheng's face with a "whoosh".

"Ah!" The Taoist in gray yelled, his face was bleeding profusely, and he covered his ears and rolled on the ground.

"Daoist Xiao, I heard that you in Beiliang use ear cutting as a mark of castrated men." Yang Xuan returned the blood-stained sword to Ming Jing, and said softly, "This king thinks this method is very good, so the servants You won’t hear what you shouldn’t hear.”

Hearing this, Zhao Shuang suddenly thought of Dong Duo whose ear had been bitten off by Ruo Ji just now, and felt very relieved, and stroked Ruo Ji's hair beside her approvingly.

Xiao Zongheng was still rolling on the ground in pain.

"Mingjing, take Daoist Xiao down... let's cast the palace sentence."

The man in Xuanyi had just finished speaking, before Ming Jing could step forward to pull him back, he saw the bloody gray-clothed Taoist begging for mercy loudly, "Your Majesty, spare me! I say! I say!"

Yang Xuan made a gesture, and Ming Jing took half a step back, instead of continuing to pull people forward.

"Let's talk." The man in black tilted his head and looked at the middle-aged Taoist on the ground.

Xiao Zongheng endured the severe pain coming from his ears, gritted his teeth and knelt down, and said in a low voice, "Ayan... escaped from the secret passage, and the entrance of the secret passage... is in the wing with the word "Happy" on it. There's a little button behind the shrine of the candle..."

"Where does the secret road lead to?" Yang Xuan hugged the woman in his arms tightly, his handsome eyebrows slightly frowned.
