Chapter 42, Ghost

There is a mysterious golden light shrouded in the sky above the imperial capital, which will suppress flying people.

The mysterious woman did not fly in the sky, but carried Jiangcheng with her, but her speed did not decrease at all. She was like a black horse, trampling on the tiles of the house, and passing by.

He ran towards the Second Princess' mansion.

Whoosh!

Jiang Cheng could only feel the wind whistling in his ears, and the scenery under his feet changed rapidly.

It can be seen that this mysterious woman is extremely fast, he vaguely guessed the identity of this mysterious woman, she should be the one who rescued him in the dark alley.

The assassination method used by that man was exactly the same as that of this woman.

The two landed directly in the middle mansion of the Second Princess' mansion.

Jiang Cheng shook his shoulders, "Can you let me go?"

Anyone who is being carried by their shoulders for more than ten miles in a hurry will feel uncomfortable, let alone being carried by a woman
"Follow me!" The mysterious woman waved her hand indifferently, but with great strength, Jiang Cheng was almost pushed down by her, her voice was cold.

Jiang Cheng followed her and entered the central hall.

I saw the second princess sitting on the main seat, and standing next to him was a handsome young man wearing a four-clawed king's robe.

On the left and right sides, more than a dozen elders and strong men sat in turn.

The elders were all silent, looking at the second princess, as if they were waiting for something.

The atmosphere in the hall was a bit oppressive.

The handsome young man looked uneasy, "Sister Huang, since the emperor became bedridden, the third elder brother has started to take over the entire imperial capital, and all the major families support him to ascend to the throne. I'm afraid it will end badly."

The second princess glanced at him, frowned slightly, and reprimanded softly, "A dignified man is timid, how can he achieve great things! If we give up and wait for the third prince to ascend the throne, do you think he will be merciful and let us go?"

The white-haired old man on the first seat on the left said, "His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince is young, so he is inevitably a little timid. Please ask the Second Princess to preside over the important affairs. Even if you order, it is only from the Candle Dragon Empire."

Speaking of this, when he saw Jiang Cheng coming in, he hurriedly shut up.

Seeing Jiang Cheng, the second princess got up and stepped down from the main seat, "Young Master Jiang, I sent a ghost to escort you into Tianzhou Mountain in concealment. How about you passing through the [-] levels as soon as possible and fulfilling our agreement?"

"Promise?" Jiang Cheng frowned. On that day, the second princess invited him to Nuanfeng Pavilion on the outskirts of the imperial capital and offered to release the demons, but he didn't agree, "I don't understand what Her Royal Highness means."

The second princess smiled slightly, "I asked my father to give me a marriage. I helped you resolve the matter of offending Xia Ming. I also asked ghosts to save you many times. I even sent a light-type martial sage to spend ten years of cultivation to heal you. Aunt, doesn't Mr. Jiang feel that he owes me a favor?"

"I am very grateful for Her Royal Highness's kindness."

Jiang Cheng nodded. The two princesses said righteous words. If others show favors, they will not repay them if they don't say it. At least, they won't make it so obvious. But after she bestowed favors, she asked for repayment openly.

It was very helpless, Jiang Cheng took a look at all the elders present here, and secretly guessed that these people might also be brought in by the second princess through this method, otherwise, the third prince has the support of major families, which is the general trend, who would Standing in the camp of the second princess?
"I didn't agree to His Royal Highness that day about releasing the devil. As for the kindness of His Royal Highness Second Princess, I will repay it in the future."

It is related to the lives and deaths of hundreds of millions of people, and one carelessness will make all the lives miserable.

Jiang Cheng asked himself that he was not a merciful person, but he would not do such a great crime either.

The second princess said, "Now, my royal father is bedridden. There is not much time left. The situation is very critical. The third prince has already controlled the entire imperial capital. I need your reward now. Let the ghost escort you into Tianzhou Mountain. Break through the [-] levels in order to reach the Demon Sealing Table and release the demons."

Seeing that Jiang Cheng was silent, she walked straight up to Jiang Cheng and stared at Jiang Cheng, "You and I already have a marriage contract. After the big event, the millions of miles of land and mountains of this dynasty are under our control. Why do you want to marry him?" Undecided."

Jiang Cheng clasped his fists slightly and saluted, "Thank you, Second Princess, for saving me many times. In the future, I will repay you twice. I went to Luoxia Mountains to practice for some time. I miss my family, so I will leave first."

After all, he turned around and planned to leave.

All the elders present here are angry.

"This person never repays his kindness!"

"You can't let him go, kill him!"

Their faces were ugly. Jiangcheng was a very important link. How to release the demons would give this camp greater confidence.

The second princess looked at Jiang Cheng's back and sighed softly, "Master Jiang doesn't need to go back to the small courtyard on the outskirts of the imperial capital. I have sent someone to take Aunt Chen and others to a safe and secret place."

Jiang Cheng's footsteps stopped suddenly, and his body stiffened immediately. He suddenly turned around and stared at the second princess, with a cold killing intent flashing in his eyes.

Never thought that these two princesses would be so unscrupulous and directly use this method to blackmail her!

The second princess said to the mysterious woman, "Ghosting, you escort Young Master Jiang into the small world of Tianzhou Mountain, let him pass the [-] levels as soon as possible, and fulfill the agreement between me and him."

This mysterious woman named Ghosting should not be her real name, but a code name. She nodded slightly, and came to Jiang Cheng with a cold expression, and made a gesture of invitation.

Jiang Cheng's expression turned ugly, "I hope that my mother will not be hurt in the slightest, otherwise, even if you sit on the throne, I will pull you down!"

Jiangcheng and Guiying walked through the streets and alleys, and saw that every street was deserted, and all the shops had closed their doors tightly, and the whole city was under martial law!

The ghost led him to avoid the patrolling royal guards and sneaked into Tianzhou Mountain in the Royal Academy.

The Royal Academy is still the same as usual, and it seems that it has not been greatly affected.

The news that His Majesty the Emperor was bedridden had already spread throughout the entire imperial capital. Students from various families knew something about the situation in the court, and rumors spread throughout the imperial academy.

"The third prince has now taken control of the court, and has been pushed to the throne of regent by the big families and the elders of the royal family."

"Now that the whole city is under martial law, it seems that the third prince is going to make a big move. The first thing is to eradicate the camp of the second princess who is against him."

"The second princess' camp is exhausted. After all, the third prince is the general trend."

"These are important affairs of the imperial dynasty, and have little to do with us. It's just a matter of practicing at the Imperial Academy with peace of mind."

Creak creak! .
Eight strong royal guards carried the big sedan chair, and through the opened sedan chair curtain, one could see an old eunuch holding the imperial decree in both hands.

A group of young eunuchs followed on both sides of the eight-carried sedan chair.

Seeing the imperial decree in the hands of the old eunuch made this group of people attract attention.

This group of people came down from the Royal Palace on the Tianzhou Pagoda, crossed the streets and alleys, and rushed towards the second princess's mansion.

Come to the second princess's mansion.

A young eunuch lifted the arrogance curtain, and the old eunuch stepped out.

Holding the imperial decree high in his hand, he strode into the Second Princess' mansion.

"The imperial decree has arrived, the second princess accepts it~!"

With a shrill voice, the old eunuch sang a reading.

In the middle hall of the mansion, the second princess and more than a dozen elders and strong men all had ugly faces, and they all came out to the gate with a premonition of something.

Now, the entire imperial capital is under the control of the third prince, and the imperial family palace is firmly controlled by the third prince. His majesty's life and death are unknown.

Most of this imperial decree was not written by His Majesty the Emperor, more likely it was forged by the Third Prince!
The second princess said coldly, "Read!"

Seeing the second princess, the old eunuch had no intention of kneeling down to salute at all.

He didn't dare to pretend to be a tiger anymore, and hastily read out the imperial decree, "By God's fate, the emperor ordered that the fourth prince of Xuan will immediately enter the palace to face the saint, and there must be no mistakes!"

Hearing this decree, more than a dozen elders and powerhouses all looked ugly, and said to the second princess, "Your Highness, the second princess, don't let the fourth prince enter the palace. This is a trick set up by the third prince."

"Your Highness Second Princess, please think twice, this is clearly a trap, and the Third Prince wants to take this opportunity to get rid of His Royal Highness Fourth Prince!"

The fourth prince's face was pale, and he said anxiously, "Miss Huang, what should I do? If I refuse to enter the palace against the decree, it is tantamount to deceiving the emperor, but if I go into the palace, I am afraid that the third brother will murder me."

The fourth prince was the one to be supported by the second princess camp, and was forced into a dilemma by this decree.
