0286. Goodbye Old Blind Man

The flying boat is like a stream of light, flying in the sky.

Even this large flying boat can carry only a limited number of people. The King of Zhenxi plus his sixteen bodyguards, three support staff from the Sui Feng Sword Sect, and a large star formation warlock master who controls the flying boat , a total of twenty people, after flying for about half an hour, the energy of one of the divine crystals was almost exhausted.

The Skyflying Boat finally had to land in a lofty mountain.

"This place is called Qingfeng Mountain. It is already three thousand miles away from the capital of Qin. In a short period of time, there is no need to worry about chasing troops." The warlock master of the Great Star Formation said.

A divine crystal is valuable. It is necessary to use it to escape, but it is unwise to use it continuously.

Finally, the great star formation warlock master controlled the flying boat and left.

He was hired temporarily and was not a confidant of King Zhenxi.

"Your Majesty, why not..." The leader of the guards, who was covered in blood, wiped his neck and said, "If this person betrays us..."

The King of Zhenxi was in his fifties, and had successfully practiced the royal family's secret skill [Dragon Control Technique]. He had entered the realm of heaven and man decades ago. He was young and energetic, with a square face and beard, and was quite majestic.

At this time, his expression had calmed down a lot, and he said: "It is not my king's fault to cross the river and destroy the bridge. What's more, although the Great Star Array Warlock Master is not high in cultivation, he has many trump cards and is not that easy to kill. This person and I have an old past. He took us to escape, and he has already been charged with half of the crime of treason. Even if he bought us, he can't get rid of it... Let's not talk about it. This time, it is me who has brought trouble to all the brothers. ."

With that said, King Zhenxi bowed his hands to the guards.

"What are you talking about, Your Majesty? If it weren't for Your Majesty, we would have died long ago without a burial place."

"I am willing to die for the prince."

These guards are all loyal soldiers trained by King Zhenxi.

The king of Zhenxi said: "Okay, I will bear in mind the wishes of all brothers. Today, the king is in trouble, but there is no way out. Over the years, I have deployed many means in secret. It is time to use them." , The Western Qin Empire is already crumbling, hey, it won’t be long before it falls into chaos, and then our opportunity will come.”

He comes from a royal family, is accustomed to intrigues, and is very good at winning people's hearts and morale.

When he said this, the eyes of these guards gradually lit up, and they no longer looked as panicked as before, like a bereaved dog.

At this time, the most important thing is not to lose confidence.

King Zhenxi looked to the northwest. The previous unwillingness and dejection had been wiped away, and he said confidently: "Brothers, put on your light clothes. Let's go northwest to Fufeng Mansion. The Fufeng Magistrate is my adopted son. Under the control of... and that Li Mu, huh, the revenge of killing his son must be avenged. Although this king is in a state of desolation, it does not mean that he really accepts the deception. Moreover, I heard that the little thief Li Mu holds a secret treasure in his hand. , even a small innate talent can fight against a half-step saint. We can take advantage of the situation to kill people and seize treasures, and cooperate with the army of Fufeng Mansion. Even if the prince sends troops to conquer, there will be nothing we can do to this king. When the time comes, we can counterattack and invade Qin. It’s not impossible, hehe, when the time comes, you will all be my king’s generals and the founding heroes of the country.”

When the guards heard this, their blood boiled even more.

The group of people took off their armor, weapons, and bloody clothes, sank into a nearby putrid mud swamp, put on simple clothes, carefully concealed their traces, and then disappeared into the dense forest.

…

…

The capital of Qin, the Prince's Mansion.

Snapped.

The tea cup hit the ground and shattered into pieces.

The current prince is thirty-five years old. He wears black uniforms with dragon patterns. He has a slender figure and an upright face. He is not as handsome as the second prince, who is as handsome as a demon, but he can be regarded as inheriting the fine qualities of the Western Qin royal family. His bloodline can be regarded as graceful, but at this time, his face was full of anger.

"A bunch of losers actually allowed King Zhenxi to escape!"

He looked at the dozen or so Forbidden Army generals in front of him, his eyes sweeping across them with undisguised murderous intent.

"Your Highness, forgive me." Several generals lowered their heads, not daring to look at each other, and were frightened.

The prince hesitated to speak, but in the end, he restrained himself a little, snorted coldly, and said: "I ordered people to search the remnants of King Zhenxi in the city. I would rather kill a thousand by mistake than let one go... Also, the second prince , all the properties of King Zhenxi have been seized by me, and all the property has been rushed into the central treasury. If anyone dares to question, let him ask me."

The central treasury is the prince's private treasury.

This is to line their own pockets.

"As ordered." All the generals breathed a sigh of relief and exited.

In Qindu City, the smell of blood in the air has not dissipated.

In some streets and alleys, the aftermath of the coup is still going on, and the sky is getting brighter. In the night that just passed, countless heads fell to the ground. Many big shots who were still high in the government offices yesterday can no longer see the sun that is about to rise. .

The anger gradually dissipated in the prince's heart.

He walked out of the hall and came to the high platform at the door. The cold wind carried snowflakes and blew in his face.

The failure to kill King Zhenxi, the last leader of the Second Prince's faction, within the capital of Qin made him very dissatisfied with the harvest of this bloody night. What could have been done once and for all, ended up falling short for Shan Jiuren, and the subsequent troubles were just It would become very big, because he knew that after many years of management, the Second Prince's faction had equally formidable local power. Originally, as long as the last flag of Zhenxi King was killed, the local power would be leaderless. As quickly as possible, plow the court and sweep the hole, but now, things will become a lot more troublesome.

Once the King of Zhenxi gathers the troops from the local state capitals and openly rebels, it will not take a day or two to suppress them.

But, no matter what, the Second Prince's faction finally fell.

He could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

The decades of intrigue with the second prince can come to an end.

The fall of the largest political rival faction is full of dark humor and absurdity.

He suddenly sneered again.

Who could have imagined that the second prince, who was known as the greatest genius of the Western Qin royal family, would end up dead at the hands of a small county magistrate.

Speaking of which, the prince really wanted to thank Li Mu properly.

But for killing a prince, and a very powerful prince at that, someone must bear the responsibility.

My father is still in seclusion, trying to break through the barrier between heaven and man, borrow another five hundred years from heaven, and ignore the government. Everything that has happened in these days has not yet reached this monarch who has ruled the vast territory of Western Qin for nearly a hundred years. In his ears, he had taken a risk and falsely conveyed the imperial edict before, in order to take advantage of the fact that his father had not yet come out of confinement to deal with the second prince. By then, the work was done, and it would only take a little work to find a few scapegoats. But now, someone has Help him get rid of the second prince...

Should Li Mu be regarded as a scapegoat?

The prince was thinking rapidly in his mind.

The only person who made him slightly scrupulous was Li Mu, who was rumored to be Li Gang's son.

And Li Gang was the arm he relied on most.

While I was thinking about it, a confidant suddenly came quickly and said: "Your Highness, express message from Chang'an Mansion."

Um?

What comes to mind?

The prince took the letter and looked at it with a look of astonishment on his face.

…

…

Taibai County, under the cliff of the back mountain.

The waterfall roars and the water vapor fills the air.

A thatched hut built next to the Kowloon Water Pond.

A huge black crow stood quietly on the top of the thatched roof, motionless, like a black sculpture. Its body was covered with water drops, dripping with water.

There was a cough.

A blind Taoist walked out of the hut and stood by the pool, waiting.

The moonlight fills the air.

The twin moons, like white jade plates, shine on the water of the pool, casting reflections.

The Taoist seemed to be waiting for something, motionless.

Most of the night passed.

A trace of disappointment appeared on the Taoist's face.

"It's been more than a hundred days, why hasn't this demon dragon appeared yet? Could it be that it has left because of the battle that day?" A look of unwillingness appeared on his face: "This Nine Dragons Pool is uniquely blessed by nature and can swallow the essence of the two moons. , an excellent place for demon clan to cultivate, the dragon shouldn’t leave here just because of a battle, such a good place to transform into a dragon, where else in the world can you find it?”

The blind Taoist will destroy demons in his lifetime.

He stayed here just to find a way to kill the dragon.

To this end, he arranged countless star arrays around the pool.

But who knew that after such a long time, the demonic dragon never appeared again.

His patience was about to run out.

The moonlight is cold and cold. Under the abyss and cliffs, it is like another world, inaccessible, ghostly, cold and damp.

The blind Taoist gradually began to plan to leave.

"You still here?"

A voice suddenly came from above without any warning.

The blind Taoist was startled, and suddenly layers of ripples appeared around him, and magic shields were superimposed: "Who is it?" He arranged formations around him, and the black crow was so alert that he didn't notice it in advance. , someone arrives.

The sword is awe-inspiring.

Li Mu wielded his sword and slowly came to the sky above the water pool.

In the past few days, he began to arrange formations at some key node locations in Taibai Mountain. Like a hardworking groundhog, he laid down no less than two hundred underground formations one after another in the vast Taibai Mountain. , guided the energy of the earth's veins, and also made very subtle changes to some mountains and peaks. According to his vision, he began to change the Feng Shui situation of Taibai Mountain.

Tonight, we arrived at the Jiulong Waterfall and Pool.

Coming with a sword, he didn't expect to see this blind Taoist here.

"Is it you?" When the black crow opened his eyes, his pupils were filled with blood. The blind Taoist recognized Li Mu at once, "How did you... become so strong?" He couldn't say any more, because Only a few months later, the Li Mu in front of him was so powerful that he was shocked and couldn't believe it.

Li Mu didn't say anything. With a sweep of his mental energy, he discovered the star pattern formation arranged by the blind Taoist around the pool.

In Li Mu's view, these formations were simple and crude.

"Do you want to hunt dragons?" Li Mu had no good impression of this Taoist, because it was this old blind man who snatched Mingyue away from the county government office, which led to the subsequent series of events.

"Destroy the demon." The blind Taoist said coldly.

"Just you?" Li Mu sneered. None of the ten blind Taoists were the opponent of the dragon, even with the formations he arranged around him. However, Li Mu suddenly thought that this old blind man seemed to be the same as that day. Knowing the old beggar, he felt something in his heart and said, "Tell me, what is the origin of that old beggar with the yellow dog that day?"
