Chapter 609: Innocent Lake

On the surface of the innocuous lake, there is a pontoon boat with a white head on the prow and a slightly hunched waist. The old man is carrying a bamboo hat on his back. The sleeves of his arms are slightly rolled up, showing a strength that does not match his age. His hands are slowly paddling the oars. , the ship was not in a hurry, sailing forward with amazing smoothness.

At the stern, a girl in a long black silk dress, with creamy skin, a waist like a willow, has a beautiful face, but her brows are slightly wrinkled, as if she is thinking about something unhappy. Sitting with her knees hugged at the bow of the boat, she stared blankly at the surface of the lake in a daze.

"Miss, the bow of the boat is cool, go inside and rest." At this time, a middle-aged woman in a purple skirt came out from inside, took a cloak and put it on the girl's shoulders to persuade her.

The girl is also a foundation-building cultivator, so naturally she will not be infected with the wind and cold between the secular world, but every once in a while, there will be a terrible cold air coming out of this innocuous lake, and even Jindan cultivators will not be able to bear it when they enter the bottom of the lake. Now, although they are on the lake, the young girl, a foundation-builder monk, will be affected to some extent after staying in the bow of the boat for a long time.

"I don't know how father and mother are now, but they were once well." The girl sighed faintly.

"After all, the prince is His Majesty's own flesh and blood. Although he is punished for a while, he will not lose his life. It is just a temporary loss of freedom. Maybe after a period of time, His Majesty will forgive the prince when he thinks about his old love. The prince has a good reputation. You have a kind heart, and you will definitely have a good death." The woman in the purple skirt comforted her. "The only thing the prince can't let go of now is the princess. Miss, you have to take care of yourself. If you break through to the golden core stage as soon as possible, you may be able to rescue the prince."

"Well, Aunt Xu, I understand. When I arrive at Yueyin Villa, I will devote myself to cultivation and strive to break through the current realm as soon as possible." The girl Xiang Lian'er nodded seriously.

Xu Wan, the woman in the purple skirt, sighed in her heart. Although she was persuading Xiang Xinyi in this way, she didn't know in her heart whether there was really a prince or pardon. On the day she returned to the imperial city, the princes in the imperial city were scheming and turbulent. In order to fight for the big position by all means, the prince died early. The second prince Wu Ying Wang Xiangqiong was quite favored and had a good chance of becoming the prince. However, he was framed by several other princes, and he also went wrong in his own practice, resulting in blindness in both eyes. , was imprisoned by the aged Majesty. Even if he is released again, Xiang Qiong, who is blind, will lose the possibility of inheriting the throne. Since the founding of the state of Xiang, there has never been a person with a disability who has inherited the throne of the emperor.

Xiang Qiong's power was almost uprooted in the past. In order to prevent Xiang Lian'er, the only daughter, from being persecuted, Xiang Qiong arranged for him to take Xiang Xinyi away from the imperial city with Iron Arm Yuan Gang, that is, the old man who punted the boat. , to the Great Qi Kingdom, the border of the three kingdoms of Tianwu Kingdom, Wushang City where forces are mixed. Xiang Qiongzhai is kind-hearted and generous, and there are also a group of old people who are loyal to him, but Xiang Lianer's status is exceptionally noble, and he also has the possibility of inheriting the throne of emperor. I'm afraid that the few princes in the court may not be at ease. I haven't found them yet, so I guess I haven't grasped their whereabouts. Although he and Yuan Gang are also Golden Core cultivators, they are only in the middle stage of Golden Core. . I just heard that Wushang City is located at the junction of several countries, and the order is relatively good. Xu Wan could only hope that nothing would happen in the future, Xu Wan sighed inwardly.

Suddenly, Xu Wan felt that Yuan Gang's paddle speed seemed to change slightly, and immediately looked forward with vigilance. I saw a larger boat breaking through the water at high speed. In the lead was a man with gray hair, but his face was no different from that of a normal middle-aged man, standing with his hands tied.

"My servant, Fu Mingyuan, specially came to welcome the young master!" The Yingwei man stood at the bow of the boat, and he bowed to Xiang Lian'er with a distance of tens of feet.

"Welcome young master!" Dozens of other black-clothed monks on the ship knelt on one knee on the deck, and their voices were in unison.

"Wow" At this time, Lu Xiaotian was originally planning to wait for these people to pass before emerging out of the water, but the degree of deterioration of the injury was beyond his expectation, and in order to avoid the invasion of the cold air in the water, Lu Xiaotian couldn't hold back any longer. , emerged between the two boats. Pfft, a mouthful of blood stained the surface of the water a little bright red.

Fu Mingyuan and the people who had lived in Wushang City for a long time suddenly changed their complexions. In late autumn, it was the time when Wushang Lake was very cold. Normally, Jindan cultivators would never go down to the lake. A silver-haired monk, but he doesn't look very well.

Xu Wan and Yuan Gang looked wary when they saw Lu Xiaotian, and kept Xiang Lian'er in the middle quietly.

"This person looks injured, let him come on board." Seeing Lu Xiaotian's pale face, and his body trembling under the attack of cold air, Xiang Lian'er couldn't bear to say in her heart.

"Miss, we are in a special situation right now. The origin of this person is unknown. It is better to have one more thing than one less thing. Let him fend for himself." Xu Wan persuaded in a low voice.

Lu Xiaotian took a breath, originally thought that he would be able to leave with the sword when he reached the water surface, but the speed of the deterioration of the injury in his body was beyond his expectations. The double invasion of the wispy sword energy and the cold air in his body made him tired of coping, even under severe injuries. Temporarily unable to fly the imperial weapon. As for the Ice Healing, he has already used it. It can only repair the existing injuries in his body, but it can't further prevent the damage of Piao Miao's sword energy. It belongs to treating the symptoms, not the root cause. He originally thought that everything would be resolved by escaping through the teleportation array, but he never thought that the power of this misty sword energy was the only one he had ever seen in his life. Now Lu Xiaotian urgently needs a place to rest and heal his wounds, but there are several golden swords in front of him. Cultivator Dan's current state is already unbearable. As for Di Kun, since he swallowed the inner alchemy a few years ago, he is still in the critical period of improving his strength. If it is not forced, Lu Xiaotian does not want to interrupt his practice. Of course, if these people have bad intentions, it's a different matter.

"Let's save it, it's more or less a life." Xiang Lian'er sighed quietly, although she was not abusive, but at this time, her family was in decline, and there was a big change. A large number of original people in the palace were executed. Seeing Lu Xiaotian's current situation, he felt a little softer than usual.

"Young master, what this fellow Taoist just said is right. Wushang City is located between the three kingdoms. There are too many desperadoes, and there are not a few people who have lost their homes. Young master, even if you want to manage it, you may not be able to manage it. This time The person looks quite strange, and he might still be a disaster if he is saved." Fu Mingyuan said with a smile.

"How to act, the lady will decide for herself, but there is no need for Taoist Fu to make up for the lady." Xu Wan originally disapproved of saving Lu Xiaotian, but Fu Mingyuan was only the manager of Yueyin Villa, and there was a substitute in his tone. Xiang Lianer took the initiative to dominate the young lady, if this momentum was not suppressed as soon as possible, even if Xiang Lianer went to Yueyin Villa in the future, I am afraid that Xiang Lianer would be under the control of this person everywhere. No matter what intrigue will happen later, if you still want to beat this person, you must make a statement at this time. In comparison, the original act of saving Lu Xiaotian was insignificant, but now the meaning in it becomes insignificant. same.
