Chapter 2458: The sword drives away the evil king, and everyone takes refuge

Lu Guan nodded gently, with a grateful expression on his face, and solemnly thanked him.

"A hero comes from a young age. Thanks to the protection of all the young heroes along the way, Lu will remember it in his heart and hope that he can repay him in the future." "We do it for justice, not personal favors. If Commander Lu can repel the Xilu, it will be a right to him. Our best repayment.”

Meng Qi put on the appearance of a cold and stern swordsman. His nickname on the list was Thunder Sword Mad Monk and Mang King Kong, which made him very unhappy. He always maintained an arrogant, cold, cool and calm swordsman style. , hoping to change other people's impression of him and change him to a famous name like the Frightening Swordsman.

"It is Lu's lifelong ambition to expel the Western captives and avoid future troubles forever."

Lu Guan nodded solemnly and responded. The capital city was in sight. He felt pride and pressure in his heart. After getting on the boat, he was silent and watched the rushing river and the crowds of people on the shore.

"Compared with the capital city, Yuexi is like a place on earth or in the sky."

Lu Guan's servants looked at the prosperous scenery of the capital and said with emotion that the capital was in sight. They all breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts. After crossing the Peishui River and reaching the other side, they could find the inn and take out the imperial edict. The danger would be over by then. .

Jiang Zhiwei and others felt the river breeze and nodded slightly. The capital here is indeed larger and more prosperous than Xuanwu, but there are obviously fewer heroes with swords. Scholars and ladies are walking under the willows on both sides of the bank.

A large boat went down the river and passed in front of the ferry boat with five people sitting on it. Shadows enveloped it, as if the sky was darkening. Suddenly, a figure rushed over from the building boat, the figure was very fast, and there was almost an afterimage.

The man's sleeves were spread out and fluttering in the wind, like a goshawk fighting a rabbit. They formed a perfect whole with the rolling river, the slowly descending boat, and the shadow between the two boats. No matter the angle or posture, They were all extremely harmonious, as if they were being slapped together with the surrounding world, making everyone feel as if they were being rejected by buildings, boats, rivers, and shadows. It seemed that the world was so vast that there was no room for them.

This is a kind of sense that is difficult to elaborate on. It gives people the illusion of being alone and challenging the world. The momentum of the whole body is weakened by this illusion, and they dare not move rashly. It seems that one hair can move the whole body.

At this moment, Jiang Zhiwei has a deeper understanding of these eight characters. It is not only the various psychological skills, the creation of atmosphere and momentum, but also a little understanding of the world, all things, and the way of nature. .

“That’s probably the way to go to be on location.”

Jiang Zhi took a step forward, and the five fingers of her right hand were already grasping the hilt of the sword. Her expression was cold and sharp, and a kind of enlightenment arose in her heart.

The attacker struck it with one palm, seemingly without exerting any force. The emptiness grew bigger and bigger, making people extremely uncomfortable.

Zheng!

Jiang Zhiwei unsheathed the White Rainbow Sun Sword and attacked directly. If she retreated, she would be completely at a disadvantage due to the entanglement and oppression of Qi, and it would be difficult to get back.

Jiang Zhiwei pointed her long sword at an angle, the tip of the sword trembling unsteadily, covering all the flaws of the attacker. As soon as the sword light rose, the attacker froze slightly in mid-air, his palm skills changed, and the flaw disappeared first, turning it into a trap.

Jiang Zhiwei flicked her wrist, raised her sword, and pointed it at the attacker's throat. As soon as the long sword changed, the opponent took the lead again. His palms were wrong, and the heat and coldness swirled towards him, causing the long sword to tilt.

"The Immortal Seal!"

Jiang Zhiwei instantly understood the identity of the other party, and also understood the reason why her two consecutive moves failed to work. The other party was Evil Lord Guanying, the one who obtained the secret book left by the reincarnation and became the top powerhouse in the world. The lucky one is also one of the targets of the reincarnation mission.

The Immortal Seal Technique is good at detecting the enemy with his true energy and spirit. Before Jiang Zhiwei's sword technique is used, Evil Lord Guan Ying has already gotten a glimpse of it from his muscle reactions, so he can naturally change first and set a trap!

Jiang Zhiwei took a deep breath, whirled the long sword, and slashed out crookedly, constantly changing, as if it would never end. With a bang, Jiang Zhiwei's long sword finally touched the opponent's palm. First, there was a masculine and hot energy, and then it turned into a feminine and cold breath, which seemed to pull Jiang Zhiwei over, making her feel uncomfortable and wanted to vomit blood.

However, Jiang Zhiwei had already expected this. She expected that the enemy would be the first to attack, so she turned her long sword along with the trend. Taking advantage of the moment when the evil lord's pass was changing between yang and yin, it slashed horizontally, as if it was going to cut into the air. But just as the long sword changed, the opponent's palms also changed, and they happened to be located here, as if they came to the door on their own!

This time, even if Xiejunguan should be able to detect Jiang Zhiwei's changes in swordsmanship in advance, he still couldn't avoid it! Xie Junguan remained calm and reacted surprisingly quickly. He raised and thrust his right palm, and shot out circles of Qi rings, which were applied to the tip of Jiang Zhiwei's sword.

Jiang Zhiwei felt weak and powerless, and as if the opponent's Qi was solidified, she held her long sword crookedly, and her body fell to one side uncontrollably. In a state of shock, the sword's heart became clear, and it entered a realm. an unprecedented state.

A figure appeared in Jiang Zhiwei's mind, wearing a gray Taoist robe. He turned around slowly, with a stern face and deep eyes. He casually swung a mahogany sword in his hand. The sword light was extremely bright and chilly, and it rushed into the sky. . A sword intent that combines yin and yang, transforming reality and reality, pierces the sky, and is extremely terrifying.

"Twenty-three swords!"

Feeling blessed, Jiang Zhiwei closed her bright eyes and fell into a state of absolute rationality. She stretched out her bare hand and held the sword with a white rainbow piercing the sun. As its name suggests, the sword shines with a white light, brilliant and gorgeous. The sword light is cold and sharp. , the sword energy soared into the sky, cutting through the circles of energy rings, and went straight to Evil Lord Guanying.

Evil Lord Guan Ying looked horrified, shouted loudly, swirled inhumanly in mid-air, made seals with his hands, and shot out a stream of energy to block the sword energy and buy time for himself. He violently retreated backwards, but the sword light was fierce. , the sword energy is pure, even though there are layers of obstacles, the sword energy is still rushed into the body, and the mud cow disappears into the sea.

Evil Lord Guan Ying was wearing a Confucian robe and a wide belt. He looked like a middle-aged scholar. He stood on the boat with his brows furrowed and looked at Jiang Zhiwei with a confused expression. Their eyes met, as if there was an electric spark jumping. The two ships got farther and farther apart, and the figure of Evil Lord Guanying gradually disappeared where the shadows of the sails overlapped.

"Qiang!"

Jiang Zhiwei sheathed her sword, a trace of regret appeared on her pretty and bright face, and she said regretfully.

"It's a pity that my level is not enough, so I can't use the complete sword twenty-three, and I can't kill the evil king!"

"Zhiwei, you are really humble. The sword you just struck has broken through the immortal seal of Evil Lord Guanying and caused him harm, at least in a short period of time. He will not take action anymore!"

The ferry arrived, and everyone stepped onto the pier and headed to the inn. Under the arrangements of the inn officials, cavalry soon escorted Lu Guan, Jiang Zhiwei and others into Beijing.

"Successfully escorted Lu Guan to Beijing. Once the main mission is completed, each person will be rewarded with 200 good deeds. After settling in, go to Xiaoxiang Tower and meet Luo Shengyi and his party to start the second main mission."

The majestic and solemn voice of the Lord of Six Paths of Reincarnation sounded in the hearts of everyone, making them smile.

In the palace, the third prince is sitting on the throne, looking at the young man in the hall. He is tall and tall, wearing a strong robe, capable and strong, with bright eyes, shining brightly, giving people a strong and domineering feeling.

"You mean you want to support me in my fight for the throne?"

Luo Shengyi clasped his fists, bowed, and with full confidence, looked at Zixiong with high spirits, and spoke with a strong and powerful voice.

"That's right, the prince has only the support of Xiyue Zhenren and lacks combat power. If the prince is willing to accept us, we can help him deal with the masters of other princes."

"The Crown Prince has the support of the Imperial Master and the Ruyi Monk behind him, the Fourth Prince has the support of the Sword Emperor, and even the Seventh Prince has the Demon Queen as his assistant. With only Master Xiyue by your side, Your Majesty, you will inevitably be alone. I'm afraid it will be difficult to win. other people!"

When Luo Shengyi faced Tianhuang nobles and the current prince, he still behaved neither humble nor overbearing, full of confidence, with a sure-win smile on his face, analyzing the current situation for the third prince.

The third prince rested his chin on his hand and stared at Luo Shengyi with great interest. His eyes were deep and eye-catching. An invisible pressure shrouded Luo Shengyi. Is this how reincarnators look at the natives? They were full of pride and He was so proud and so superior that he didn't even pay attention to himself, the prince on the spot. It was really interesting.

"Tick tock!"

Luo Shengyi's forehead was covered with glistening beads of sweat, and he clenched his teeth. A drop of sweat fell to the ground and broke into several pieces. He felt that the space around him was stagnant, the air was thin, and he was about to suffocate. This leader of the dynasty The third prince was actually hidden so deeply, and his cultivation had reached the highest level in the world. At least he had a subtle state, and his strength was even higher than him.

Luo Shengyi has been inquiring about this world a lot, and he roughly understands the general divisions of realms in this world: ordinary, master of the inner world, earth realm, heaven realm, subtlety, and enlightenment.

Entering the subtle realm is equivalent to opening up the nine orifices. Enlightenment is like a great master. With half a step of outdoor cultivation, you can call yourself an ancestor in this world, support the forces, and look down on the world.

Luo Shengyi's vision turned black for a while, and he felt faintly unable to hold on. The zhenqi in his body was running wildly, and his hands were unconsciously clenched into iron fists. Since the Qi machine confrontation had fallen into a disadvantage, he could only take action.

"not bad!"

The clear voice of the third prince sounded, and all the pressure around him instantly dissipated. Luo Shengyi came back to his senses, remembered his purpose, loosened his iron fist, and exhaled. The arrogance he had just felt no longer existed in his heart.

"Since you are so confident that you can help me win the throne. Then I will believe you for once and accept you!"

The third prince no longer calls himself me at this time, and his attitude has obviously changed. He understands that he cannot be too polite and approachable to reincarnations like Luo Shengyi who look down on the natives in his heart, and it is best to keep a distance.

A smile appeared on Luo Shengyi's stern face. Although the third prince's cultivation strength was beyond expectations, the stronger the other party was, the more beneficial it would be for him and others to complete the mission, and he could be considered to have achieved his goal. .

"The second main mission begins. Help Lu Guan regain the emperor's trust and command his troops. If successful, he will be rewarded with 400 good deeds. If he fails, the corresponding good deeds will be deducted."

In a quiet and elegant house, Jiang Zhiwei and others gathered together with Luo Shengyi and his entourage. The majestic voice of the Lord of Six Paths of Reincarnation sounded in everyone's hearts, which was extremely shocking.

"Gaining the emperor's trust, Brother Luo, your previous mission was related to this mission, right?"

Meng Qi looked at Luo Shengyi thoughtfully. This Iron Fist Invincible has a domineering personality and likes to take the initiative and control everything. He should have taken action long ago.

Luo Shengyi nodded calmly and said as if he had the pearls of wisdom in hand and was calm.

"That's right, Xilu has been victorious. They have stationed troops in the upper reaches of the Pei River and sent envoys to negotiate. The conditions are harsh. The emperor was so angry that he had a stroke and was unconscious."

"Our main mission one is to gain the trust of a certain prince and temporarily prevent peace talks. Now it seems that if we can help the prince we support ascend the throne, main mission two can be successfully completed."

Jiang Zhiwei and others listened quietly to the conversation between Meng Qi and Luo Shengyi. Meng Qi was a shrewd person and understood the ways of the world, so generally speaking, Meng Qi was the external spokesperson in the team.

Ruan Yushu held the lyre in his hand, his eyes always glancing at the sumptuous food on the table. Seeing that everyone was listening attentively, he couldn't bear it anymore, picked up his chopsticks and started eating, with an elegant posture, but extremely fast, like a wind and the remaining clouds. The table of food was swept away, and everyone was stunned. How did this slim, delicate and beautiful girl eat so much food?

Ruan Yushu's face was slightly red, and he raised his head and said arrogantly.

“It tastes so-so!”

Jiang Zhiwei's eyes lit up when she looked at such a cute girl, and she smiled and said to save her.

"Let's continue, Brother Luo, which prince did you choose to support?"

"The third prince, only he is willing to accept us."

Luo Shengyi withdrew his surprised gaze and said calmly, as if he was talking about something unimportant.

"How is the power of the third prince?"

Meng Qi's heart moved, and he thought thoughtfully. This third prince must be the weakest among all the princes. Otherwise, how could he accept people like them with unknown origins?

"Not too strong but not weak either. At least Xiyue Zhenren who has entered the subtle realm supports him!"

There was an inexplicable look on Luo Shengyi's face, and the scene of meeting the third prince appeared in his mind, and he said a little unnaturally.

"Furthermore, I discovered that this third prince is deeply hidden. His cultivation is already at the level of Evil Lord Ruyi Monk, and his strength is not weaker than mine!"

Everyone was stunned when they heard this. Luo Shengyi was known as the invincible iron fist. He was ranked among the most powerful. Among them, only Jiang Zhiwei and Zhang Yuanshan were not weaker than him. This third prince was really well hidden.

Meng Qi thought for a moment, frowned slightly, and looked at Luo Shengyi with some uncertainty, asking for advice.

"How much ability do the masters in this world have to influence the situation of the government?"

"I once had a fight with someone who was suspected of being a demon queen, and barely escaped. In addition to not being able to cause changes in the celestial phenomena, her strength and realm were already close to half-step outside scenes. This kind of character, if there are no masters in the imperial city or the court, can definitely do it. He controls the political situation and can assassinate anyone who refuses to accept it.”

Luo Shengyi's face was solemn, and he slowly exhaled. It was obvious that the fight between him and the Demon Queen left him with lingering fears, and he is still afraid of it now.

"However, the Confucianism of this family is strong, and they have given up all the rituals, music, and imperial books. Those who can be called great Confucianists are not weak, such as the right prime minister, the reincarnated king De Rang, and the half-Confucian and half-Taoist national teacher Chang Le. Real people, they all insist on the distinction between legitimate sons and daughters, reject heretics, and despise those who abuse force. If they want to assassinate the emperor and the prince, even the Demon Queen Sword Emperor has to plan for a long time and find an opportunity."

Luo Shengyi thought carefully for a moment, organized his words, and told everyone the information he had collected.

"If this is the case, the prince is almost guaranteed to win, and almost no one can stop him from succeeding to the throne!"

Meng Qi's face looked a little ugly. If the prince succeeded to the throne, they would be afraid that it would be difficult for them to get close to him and gain his trust. The mission would not be completed and their good deeds would be deducted.

Luo Shengyi shook his head with a smile on his face. If this was the case, why would he support the third prince? He explained confidently.

"The emperor has been in office for many years. He is getting older. He is wary of the prince. He is very unhappy and suppresses him repeatedly. If it were not for the protection of the imperial master, I am afraid that the prince would have been deposed. Therefore, if there is an emperor's will, the same goes for other princes. There is a possibility of ascending to the throne, but after the emperor fell into coma, the right minister, who was always loyal to the emperor, stayed in the Taiji Hall at night, not giving anyone a chance to tamper with the will."

"This matter can't be explained for a while. I will take you to see the third prince tomorrow. You will escort Lu Guan to the capital. Now that your reputation is far and wide, he will definitely take it very seriously."

"That's fine!"

Jiang Zhiwei and others looked at each other, nodded at the same time, and decided to meet the third prince first to see his personality, magnanimity, talent, etc., and we would talk about the rest later.

At the other end of Wanghoufang, the residence of the third prince is located here.

Jiang Zhiwei and others walked through the courtyard and hall, and as soon as they entered the study, they saw the very majestic third prince wearing a python robe. They looked at him carefully and then greeted him.

"Everyone, please take a seat!"

The third prince had a cold expression and deep eyes as he glanced at Jiang Zhiwei calmly.

"My lord, do you know that the Xilu peace talks are fraudulent? They have already started internal strife. Now they are just using the peace talks as a pretext to delay time and resolve internal conflicts?"

Last night, Jiang Zhiwei and others rescued two people and learned the truth about the Xilu peace talks. Today they visited the third prince, preparing to tell the third prince what they learned and test them.

"It is indeed not in line with the style of the Western captives to stand still before their power is over. However, the imperial court is also trying to buy time to reorganize its troops and redefine its defenses!"

The third prince was not surprised at all. He had long noticed that the Xilu peace talks were deceptive. However, the court was also full of internal conflicts and the emperor was unconscious. Both sides were stalling for time. It was a tacit understanding.

"It doesn't matter whether the Xilu peace talks are a fraud or not. Anyway, I don't support the peace talks. If I can command 100,000 troops, I can definitely defeat the Xilu and expel them to Moxi!"

The third prince sighed. It's not like he has never been a marshal who commanded an army. He traveled across the battlefield and won hundreds of battles. His military strategy is definitely better than that of Lu Guan, who has the hope of the world. It's just a pity that he is a prince. If he can't If he ascends the throne as emperor, he may not be able to control the army at all and gain military power.

Meng Qi's expression moved slightly. The third prince was actually a master of military arts and the main combatant. This was very beneficial to their mission. It was not unreasonable for Luo Shengyi to choose this prince.

Jiang Zhiwei and others met the third prince for the first time and said goodbye without having an in-depth conversation.

Meng Qi and others have been trying to test the third prince. They need to weigh it before deciding whether to put all their treasures on the third prince. After all, the reincarnation mission is no joke. If you fail and have insufficient good deeds, you will be wiped out. .

Meng Qi and others did not just visit the third prince. They also visited the other princes one by one, spreading the news that the Xilu peace talks were fraudulent and testing the princes' reactions.
