Chapter 938 Xuanwu King City
Xiahou Hongxiang said: "Before we set off, my wife had already returned to the royal city to seek help from Master Sun Chengcheng, the national teacher.
You bring someone back to Tianma City now, and I'll go meet the Queen.
The one that the king trusts most is Shangguan Qiong, but I just saw with my own eyes that he has been shot into a hedgehog, and he will surely die.
Now there is only one Princess Xingyue left. If the Queen Mother is willing to help, she can't make any trouble by herself. "
Jiang Bin said: "Sir General is indeed a great talent, and his subordinates admire him."
Xiahou Hongxiang said, "Bring someone back to Tianma City. I'll find a place to rest. After dawn, I'll rush to Wangcheng to meet the Queen."
Jiang Bin agreed and disappeared into the night with 3,000 soldiers.
Xiahou Hongxiang originally wanted to check the location just now, but before he could get close, he was frightened by the swarming phantom flying ants and hurriedly retreated.
Qin Haodong brought everyone back to the seventh-order Buddha Tower. He first checked the three-legged Jinchan's injury.
This guy is worthy of being a monster with dragon blood. At this moment, the wound on his body that was shot by the God-Execution Arrow has healed, but he is a little sluggish due to excessive blood loss.
Seeing that he was fine, Qin Haodong put it into the spirit beast bag to recuperate, and then turned to see Shangguan Qiong.
At this moment, the deputy commander of the inner guard was shot with nine God-killing arrows, fell to the ground unconscious, his breath became weaker and weaker, and he was only a thin line away from death.
Qin Haodong checked his injuries. Of the nine God-killing arrows, only the one that pierced through the right chest was the one that hurt the most, and the others were wounds of flesh and blood.
Fortunately, I am here today, otherwise Shangguan Qiong's life would probably be thrown here.
He first sealed the acupuncture point in his chest with a silver needle, then slowly took out the god-killing arrow, and then used the Heavenly Needle Technique to repair his injured meridian.
After a series of rescues, Shangguan Qiong's face slowly returned to rosy, and it seemed that her life was saved.
Qin Haodong applied the golden sore medicine to him, fed him a healing elixir, and then sealed his sleeping hole.
The seventh-level Buddha Pagoda was his last trump card, so he didn't want Shangguan Qiong to know, so he couldn't wake him up for the time being.
Seeing that Qin Haodong was busy, the little witch came over and said, "little brother, it's fortunate that you have this baby, otherwise we would all be finished today."
Zhao Xingyue said angrily: "This Xiahou Hongxiang is really crazy. He even dared to use the God-Execution Arrow to deal with us. When I return to the royal city, I will definitely sue him to the king."
Qin Haodong said, "You'd better keep your mouth shut after you go back, and leave it to Shangguan Qiong and let him tell your father, so as to be more convincing."
Zhao Xingyue was accustomed to the intrigue in the court since childhood, and immediately understood the meaning of Qin Haodong's words, nodded and said, "Brother Qin is right, I will listen to you."
The little witch said: "Little brother, can we go directly from the seventh-order Buddha Pagoda back to the royal city? It's too troublesome to pass through the Doomsday Forest."
Hearing what she said, the others also looked over, wondering if the seventh-level Buddha Pagoda could do this.
Qin Haodong shook his head and said: "You think too much, the seventh-order Buddha Pagoda can let us teleport here, it is already very good, if you want to go out, the exit can only be where we just disappeared.
So we have to wait until all Xiahou Hongxiang's people have left before they can go out.
Take a good rest, restore your cultivation as soon as possible, and we will go out directly through the Doomsday Forest after dawn. "
After he finished speaking, he picked up a god-killing arrow and began to study it slowly.
This arrow is condensed with a strong suffocating energy, and when I took it in my hand, I actually felt like I was going to tear the body guard's infuriating energy.
What a strong evil spirit! No wonder it can hurt the master of the fit stage.
Qin Haodong sighed in his heart, which made him more and more curious about Xuanyin Jusha Furnace.
If you let such a strong evil spirit condense on your bullets, it will be ten times larger than that of Zhushen Arrow.
A few hours passed, and it felt like the time was almost up. Qin Haodong took everyone from the seventh-order Buddha Pagoda back to the small valley at the edge of the Doomsday Forest.
At this time, a red sun was rising, and the traces of last night's battle were still there, but Xiahou Hongxiang's army had completely faded away.
Qin Haodong put all the phantom flying ants into the seventh-order Buddha Pagoda, and then raised his hand to unlock Shangguan Qiong's acupuncture point.
"Where am I? Am I dead?"
At the moment when she was shot by the arrow of Zhushen, Shangguan Qiong thought she would die, but she didn't expect to see the rising sun again. Could it be that there is also a sun in hell?
The little witch said: "You are not dead, it is Brother Qin who saved you, otherwise you will really die!"
"Thank you little brother for saving your life!"
After a night's rest, 80% of his injuries had recovered. He stood up from the ground and turned his head to look at Zhao Xingyue.
"Your Highness, are you alright?"
Zhao Xingyue said, "I'm fine!"
"It's fine!" Shangguan Qiong breathed a sigh of relief and scolded angrily, "I can't forgive Xiahou Hongxiang, this old man!"
After calming down for a while, he asked again, "Brother Qin, how did you get out of trouble under the circumstances last night?"
Qin Haodong had already thought about his words, "Yesterday, we were already dying, but a large number of phantom flying ants suddenly appeared, which made Xiahou Hongxiang's people retreat."
Saying that, he pointed to the sparkling white bones next to him, "Look, those are all the dead subordinates of Xiahou Hongxiang."
Shangguan Qiong didn't have much scheming in the first place. After seeing the dead bodies and the God-killing crossbow on the ground, he immediately believed what Qin Haodong said.
"This is Her Royal Highness Princess Hong Fu Qitian, and it's also the old thief Xiahou!"
Princess Xingyue said: "Let's go quickly, hurry back to the royal city, and report the matter here to the king."
Shangguan Qiong nodded, and everyone took off together, flying towards the direction of Wangcheng.
After flying for six or seven hours in a row, they finally arrived at the capital of the Xuanwu Kingdom when it was almost noon.
Compared with Tianma City, the area of King City is twice as large, with tall city walls and a large population, making it look like an extremely prosperous scene.
Shangguan Qiong said, "Flying is prohibited in Wangcheng. Let's go down and enter the city through the city gate."
After he finished speaking, he landed on the ground, showed his waist badge to the soldiers guarding the gate, and then led everyone into the Xuanwu King City.
After entering the city gate, Qin Haodong faintly felt the fluctuation of the formation, which should be a large formation, which restricted the cultivator from flying.
Shangguan Qiong said to Zhao Xingyue: "His Royal Highness, when you came out, the king specially explained that as long as you take you back to the royal city, I will go to the palace to see him immediately."
Zhao Xingyue nodded, knowing that this level was to be passed after all, and everyone walked towards the palace together.
The palace of the Xuanwu King City is magnificent, and it is larger in scale than the Forbidden City on Earth, and the building is taller.
The guards are heavily guarded here, and you can see the palace guards in full array everywhere.
Shangguan Qiong is the deputy commander of the big inner circle. He is very familiar with the situation here. He soon brought everyone to the palace of King Zhao Xianlong.
After the briefing, Zhao Xingyue brought Qin Haodong and others to meet the king.
This is the bedroom, not the main hall, so it doesn't look so majestic.
After entering the door, Qin Haodong saw a middle-aged man in his 50s sitting on the main seat opposite, with a majestic look in his eyes. This man should be the king of Xuanwu Kingdom, Zhao Xianlong.
Sitting next to him was a middle-aged woman with a phoenix crown and a robe. She was Queen Wu Yueniang. Although she was already a half-old woman, she still looked beautiful and moving.
And compared to Zhao Xingyue and other girls, there is a mature and sexy charm on her body.
But if you look closely, you can see that there is a ruthless air between this woman's eyebrows, and at first glance, it is not a good character.
Shangguan Qiong stepped forward to give a bow, bowed and said, "Your Highness, I have brought back the princess safely."
Zhao Xingyue followed: "Father, mother, Xingyue is back."
Zhao Xianlong looked at his daughter, who he had not seen for many days, and snorted coldly: "You girl is getting more and more courageous, and you dare to sneak out of the palace. You know how much my mother and I are worried about you these days."
Zhao Xingyue said: "Father is to blame, this time it is Xingyue's fault."
Wu Yueniang said, "Your Majesty, it's good that Xingyue comes back safely, so don't blame so much."
Seeing this woman speak for Zhao Xingyue with a smile on her face, Qin Haodong secretly thought, it seems that this woman is quite shrewd and very good at hiding a knife in a smile, so she must be careful in the future.
Zhao Xianlong said: "Since your mother is begging for you, then forget it this time, and you will never be allowed to do it again in the future."
Zhao Xingyue saluted again: "My son, thank the father and the emperor, and thank the mother!"
Zhao Xianlong's face eased a lot and said, "Are you okay outside, have you been wronged?"
Zhao Xingyue said: "My son lived very well in Xuanwu Academy and learned a lot, and his cultivation base has been promoted from the late stage of Cong Huashen Realm to the late stage of Void Refinement Realm."
According to Qin Haodong's request, she did not take the initiative to mention Xiahou Hongxiang, and waited for Shangguan Qiong to take the initiative to mention it.
"Not bad!"
Zhao Xianlong nodded with satisfaction. He did not expect that his daughter had not been out for a long time and had made such great progress.
Moreover, he could see that Zhao Xingyue's character had changed a lot compared to the previous one who was submissive and timid as a mouse, and had the graceful atmosphere of a princess of the Wang family.
At this time, the upright Shangguan Qiong stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I have something important to report to your Majesty."
Zhao Xianlong said: "If you have anything, just say it!"
Shangguan Qiong talked about the incident that he brought Princess Xingyue back and was attacked from beginning to end, and finally said: "Your Majesty, Xiahou Hongxiang actually led someone to attack His Royal Highness, and asked Your Majesty to punish him."
"Bold!" Zhao Xianlong was furious, "Xiahou Hongxiang dares to attack this king's daughter, he can't rebel!"
At this time, Zhao Xingyue said again: "Father, this time my daughter has been offended by the Xiahou family many times in Tianma City..."
She talked about how Xia Houzhen wanted to rob her as a concubine in the 13th room, how the eldest Sun Lan came to catch the rape, and how Xia Houchun bullied men and women in the restaurant.
After listening to this, Zhao Xianlong was even more angry, and said coldly, "Shangguan Qiong, you immediately send 20,000 troops to Tianma City to arrest Xiahou Hongxiang and punish him."
"Your Majesty, wait a minute."
At this time, Wu Yueniang, who was sitting next to him, spoke, "Your Majesty, there is actually a hidden meaning behind this matter."
Zhao Xianlong turned his head to look at her, "What's the secret, how did you know?"
"Your anger, let me tell you slowly."
Wu Yueniang said, "Your Majesty, in fact, Xiahou Hongxiang is in my palace right now, and he came to ask for his guilt this morning. There are actually many misunderstandings in this matter.
Xiahou Hongxiang was loyal to the Xuanwu Kingdom, and he had no intention of rebelling at all, and he did not dare to offend the majesty of the Wang family. "
Zhao Xianlong said angrily: "The people of their Xiahou family have been disrespectful to this king's daughter one after another, and they all openly sent troops to kill people halfway. Isn't this a rebellion?
