Mortal Bones

"What's your name? Boss or second child?"

Taoist Huang asked without raising his head while closing the stall.

"Back to Mr. Huang, my name is Chu Yinan, and I am the third oldest child in the family."

The young man stepped forward and gave Taoist Huang a hand.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, then if you want to be emperor, it will be a little difficult."

Taoist Huang shook his head and said.

"How can the emperor be as free as an immortal?"

Faced with Huang Laodao's rebellious words, the young man was not angry, but smiled lightly.

"Third Prince, you'd better go back and don't have to follow the old Taoist. Although the old Taoist is not a good person, but since I have accepted your Da Chu's money, I will definitely get things done."

Taoist Huang grabbed the flag from the third prince's hand.

"Old Huang, you misunderstood. My father didn't want me to supervise you. He just wanted me to gain experience and make some preparations for the Golden Scale Society in seven years."

Chu Yinan said in a sincere tone.

"After all, not everyone has the chance to live to see the Demon Eater take action."

He then added with a smile.

"Boy, it's true that I won't touch you, but your father's gamble is a bit big. He used himself and the entire imperial city as bait to lure the blood demon ancestor and the abbot of Huoyun Temple out of the mountain. That's the old way. I can’t guarantee whether I can win.”

Huang Laodao, who had already packed up the fortune-telling stall, suddenly crossed his arms over his chest and looked at the sky above his head with a contemplative look on his face.

"You don't have to worry about this, Mr. Huang."

The third prince, Chu Yinan, held his hand on the horizontal sword at his waist, looked up at the sky, and said with a smile:

"The luck of the Supreme Qing Dynasty is in my Youyun, and the luck of Youyun is in my Da Chu. When it comes to gambling on the fate of the country, our Da Chu has never lost since the founding of the country."

…

at the same time.

Outside the north gate of the capital, on the official road thirty or forty miles away, a young girl was reining in her horse and galloping away.

Although the girl has a heroic appearance, her dress is very strange.

Not only were her five fingers covered with jewel-encrusted Na rings, but her waist was hung with gorgeous Qiankun bags. The most bizarre thing was that she was hanging on her high ponytail. Several burning talismans.

Behind the girl, there was also a gorgeously decorated carriage.

The carriage was driven by a beautiful woman in palace attire and a slightly fat middle-aged man.

Behind the carriage, there were more than a hundred people, chasing each other in a mighty manner.

If there were any people in the capital present, they would definitely be able to recognize that the three people in front of them were members of King Zhong's family.

After all, this family always makes a few jokes in the capital every year.

The girl riding the white horse is the princess Chu Xiaoxiao, the woman in palace clothes rolling up her sleeves and driving the carriage is Chu Xiaoxiao’s mother, Princess Qi, and the middle-aged fat man is naturally the loyal king Chu Jing.

"Xiaoxiao, take off the talisman from your hair first, it's very dangerous!"

When King Zhong saw the talisman tied to Chu Xiaoxiao's hair, his aura fluctuations became stronger and stronger, and he immediately shouted at the top of his lungs.

"Damn girl, we can help you pay off your gambling debt slowly. I can bear it if you emptied the palace, but you also took away your mother's and my dowry. What's going on?"

Princess Qi then yelled angrily.

"Mother, my dear, this is all for your own good!"

Chu Xiaoxiao turned around and replied to the two of them.

"Damn girl, I'll give you another chance. Stop your horse immediately, otherwise if I catch up, I will marry you to that stammering prince of Xiliang Kingdom next month!"

Princess Qi threatened loudly.

But as soon as she said this, the loyal king Chu Jing beside her objected:

"I don't allow this marriage!"

Princess Qi rolled her eyes at Prince Zhong, then frowned and whispered:

"I'm scaring her!"

However, Chu Xiaoxiao had clearly guessed her little thought. Instead of reining in the horse, she whipped the horse underneath her on the buttocks, and her body flew out like a white shadow.

Chu Xiaoxiao is a very rare spirit horse. Even Princess Qi's troika could not keep up.

"Zheng!..."

Just when the two couples were at a loss what to do, a sword sound suddenly exploded from the air.

Immediately, a handsome young man in white flew over to the carriage of Prince Zhong and his wife with his sword.

"Che'er, you're finally here!"

After seeing that person, both couples were overjoyed.

This young man is Chu Che, Chu Xiaoxiao’s brother and the eldest son of King Zhong.

"Dad, mother, Xiaoxiao, what on earth is going on?"

Chu Che had just come out of seclusion and was confused about the situation in front of him.

"I don't know what happened. After Xiaoxiao came out of the Collecting Room, she quietly packed up all the belongings in the palace, even her mother's dowry."

"At first, we thought she owed money somewhere and planned to use the palace's property to repay the debt. But who would have thought that she directly tied a few real fire talismans to her hair and said that if we didn't catch up with her, she would Use these true fire talismans to kill yourself."

The loyal king Chu Jing said helplessly.

The more Chu Che listened, the more confused she became, so he looked at Princess Qi who was still driving the carriage:

"Mom, are you forcing her to get married again?"

Princess Qi rolled her eyes when she heard this and yelled at Chu Che:

"I would like to marry her, but I have to have someone dare to marry her!"

"That's true."

Chu Che scratched his head awkwardly.

Although he had been in seclusion for a long time, he was still somewhat aware of his sister's reputation.

"Mother, I will stop her first, but please don't be mean to her anymore."

Chu Che said to Princess Qi with a smile.

"Don't worry, I still have some sense of propriety."

Princess Qi said helplessly.

Hearing this, Chu Che was relieved.

He first flew into the air with his sword, then reached out and took a silver rope from his waist, and threw it in the direction of Chu Xiaoxiao.

"Swoosh!"

In just a moment, the silver rope stretched more than a thousand feet and tied up Chu Xiaoxiao.

Afterwards, Chu Che shook his hand, and the silver rope pulled the screaming Chu Xiaoxiao from the horse's back.

The couple was overjoyed to see this and stopped the carriage immediately.

"Brother, let me go, I'm doing this for the good of the palace!"

Chu Xiaoxiao, who was held in Chu Che's hand, kept struggling.

"You silly girl, you are still quibbling here!"

"Mother, let's listen to Xiaoxiao's explanation."

Princess Qi was about to step forward and scold her, but was stopped by Chu Che, who was smiling.

"Xiaoxiao, I want to ask you, what's going on?"

Chu Che asked Chu Xiaoxiao in a very gentle tone.

"Brother, I just told my parents, but they don't believe me."

Chu Xiaoxiao said helplessly.

"Brother believes you!"

Chu Che said with gentle and firm eyes.

Chu Xiaoxiao sighed after hearing this, and then pointed in the direction of the capital and said:

"Today, there will be a disaster in the imperial city that even our palace cannot avoid. The only way to avoid it is to leave the city."
