Chapter 1124: Changes Again and Again

After thinking about it, Li Chuyi still went to find Mu Fangli.

Crossing the tribulation is a big deal, and it can even be said to be the most important thing in a cultivator's life, and the first heart demon tribulation is the most important.

In the Nascent Soul stage, the Dao Dan is transformed into an infant form, in the Yuanshen stage, the soul is placed in the Nascent Soul, and in the Dao Fetus stage, the soul and body are merged into a spirit fetus. The first heart demon tribulation in the cross-tribulation period is the first test of the spirit fetus. While tempering the Dao heart, it also tempers the spirit fetus, making it completely a whole, which can be separated from the flesh and independent of the outside.

If the following four heavenly tribulations temper the exterior of the spirit fetus, then the heart demon tribulation tempers the inner core of the spirit fetus. A stable Dao heart and a tenacious soul are the foundation of a cultivator. Without these two as support, a cultivator cannot explore the mysterious heavenly way more deeply. If he acts recklessly, even if he accidentally touches the veins, he will be deeply trapped in it and cannot extricate himself, and will be lost until the end of his life and his body and Tao disappear.

Therefore, no one dares to be careless about the first heart demon tribulation.

Li Chuyi didn't dare to do it either. Even if Li Sinian dared, he couldn't watch his fourth uncle risk his life. When Fang Junnan was going through the tribulation, Ye Zhichen was there to protect him. Without Ye Zhichen in the imperial capital, Li Chuyi could only ask for help from his grandfather.

And Mu Fangli was also very happy. After learning about his purpose, he agreed immediately. Especially when he learned that Li Sinian had the Tongtian Pill in his hand, he was even more excited. He urged Li Sinian to take it out and look at it carefully before handing it back with satisfaction. The nervous Li Sinian was greatly relieved. He thought that Grandpa Mu would "forget" to return it after reading it.

Later, he asked and found out that the Tongtian Pill was actually a regret of Mu Fangli. The alchemy master had a personal grudge with Mu Fangli in his early years, so after refining the Tongtian Pill, he gave it to many people, but only skipped the Mu family. That man once threatened that Mu Fangli would never be able to see it until he died, but today, not only did Old Man Mu see it, he also took it out and played with it for a few times with great interest, which was a small revenge for the previous arrow.

In order to reassure Li Chuyi, he waved his hand and sent Mu Dong to Li Sinian for protection. Although he did not do it himself, the fourth uncle was almost crazy with joy.

The longer you stay in the imperial capital, the more you know how deep the water is here. Although Mu Dong calls himself "old slave", he is a well-known figure in the imperial capital. Many heads of large families cannot compare to him. Even the elders of the Mu family have to show respect to him.

With Mu Dong around, Li Sinian felt relieved. He waved goodbye to everyone and happily followed Mu Dong out of the city.

There was no way. Even the Mu family did not dare to let people pass the tribulation in the city. Although the heart demon tribulation would not cause strange phenomena from the sky, it did not mean that it would not affect others.

Compared with the majestic momentum of the four disasters behind, the silent heart demon disaster is more frightening and hard to guard against. At the beginning, Old You was only slightly closer to Minghe who was trapped in the heart demon disaster, and he was so tired that he almost fell into the heart demon disaster. Li Chuyi and others were present at the time and saw all of this, so they naturally did not dare to play with fire in the city.

After bidding farewell to Li Sinian, the little fat man and others returned to the Xianlin Guild Hall, which was once again crowded.

The wind direction in the imperial capital changed three times in two days, changing even more frequently than a child's face. Just a moment ago, everyone was still gloating and waiting to see what price the eldest prince would pay for the death of the ninth prince. As a result, the news came out before dark. Not only did the ninth prince not get justice, but he was also accused of many crimes. The King of Zhenxi personally led people to raid the ninth prince's mansion overnight. The guards disarmed and waited for recruitment. After the servants and attendants were checked, those who had no problems were all dispersed on the spot, and those who were slightly suspicious were killed on the spot. The ninth prince's wives, concubines and children suffered the most. They were all killed without trial.

Even the ninth prince's family was implicated. The head of the family and the important elders of the family went to the palace overnight to plead guilty, but they did not even see the face of Emperor Yanling. It was not until they knelt outside the palace gate for a night that the imperial edict was issued. The man was not killed, after all, the Ninth Prince had been adopted by Emperor Yanling, but the family was not without any responsibility. The casual crime of "instigation" cost the family countless treasures. It is said that the spiritual stones alone were as much as hundreds of millions.

Watching the carts full of treasures pulling out two lines of blood marks and slowly going away, those who came to inquire were all terrified and reported the situation to their masters in a panic. For a while, the imperial capital was turbulent again. The dignitaries who had just withdrawn from the Xianlin Guild Hall came out again and gathered at the Xianlin Guild Hall again. The ups and downs of the situation made the self-proclaimed shopkeeper Liu, who was used to the world, secretly shocked. He hurriedly ordered the waiters to serve well and not to neglect anyone.

As a result, Shopkeeper Liu didn't have to worry about it for a long time.

The eldest prince was assassinated, how could the old emperor sit idly by?

The Supervisory Department acted the fastest, with black-clad guards coming in groups, but before they could gain a firm foothold, the military came again.

The twenty golden-armored guards that General Xiong gave to Li Chuyi arrived with their men and horses, and blocked the street without any explanation. Although there were some conflicts between the Supervisory Department and the military, they were all targeting the prince's faction, and there was no grudge between them and General Xiong's men, so the two sides did not communicate or hostile, one side climbed over the wall and went to the house, and the other side strictly guarded the street, which was a tacit understanding and harmony, which made many spectators who were used to the open and secret struggles between the two sides stare blankly.

The street was closed, and there was no place to stay in the hotel. The other guests of Xianlin Club wisely checked out one after another, but the shopkeeper Liu, who lost his guests, was not dissatisfied at all.

There was no other reason, all because of the profit.

The tenants left, but he did not lose any money. Because Nalan Mingyue was also present at the time of the incident, in order to show his favor to Li Chuyi and the Mu family, Emperor Yanling rewarded the Nalan family heavily. It is said that he also gave Nalan Mingyue a golden jade tablet engraved with the four words "heart like the bright moon" to reward her for "protecting the master".

As a vassal of the Nalan family and the shopkeeper of the residence personally selected by Li Chuyi, Manager Liu naturally had a share of the benefits. His status was not enough for the palace to directly reward him, but through the hands of the Nalan family, he really got a lot of benefits. Not to mention that he was the owner of his store, even if he overthrew it and rebuilt it, there would be no problem.

As for the Zhao family who stood on the wrong side, their fate was a bit ugly. Although they were not severely punished because they belonged to the royal family, Emperor Yanling issued a special decree to severely reprimand them, saying that they were blind and could not distinguish between loyalty and treachery, and they did not see the evil intentions of the ninth prince and even helped him speak. Fortunately, the eldest prince was lucky and safe, otherwise they would not be spared.

Although he knew the cause and effect, the head of the Zhao family still had to swallow this bitter fruit. He only blamed his own young master, Zhao Jun, for being too impulsive and taking things for granted. He rushed to the front without understanding the situation, and ended up with such a bitter fruit.

The head of the Zhao family was also a ruthless person. Seeing the attitude of Emperor Yanling, and the fact that the sixth young master Zhao Jun was half-wasted and might not be able to take over the body as before, he simply killed him with a knife, personally held the dead Yuanshen into the palace to apologize, and then personally went to Li Chuyi to apologize.

Of course, he didn't see the face, and there were heavy guards, not even flies could fly in. The head of the Zhao family could only ask the guards to pass the things in, and then he knelt at the street corner with a group of elders and kowtowed heavily, and then read a tens of thousands of words of regret, and then staggered away with "regret".

Many people saw this scene, and almost all the dignitaries in Dayan smelled something.

The Zhao family is a direct vassal of the Yuwen royal family, and its status is slightly higher than that of the Nalan family. When King Jinsheng lost power and the Hai family was destroyed, the Zhao family was the biggest beneficiary of the feast. Most of the Hai family's property fell into their pockets. It is not an exaggeration to say that they climbed up standing on the corpse of the Hai family.

Therefore, the person standing behind the Zhao family is not an ordinary royal family, but Emperor Yanling himself. To a certain extent, the Zhao family is the weather vane of the imperial capital. From the actions of the Zhao family, one can indirectly infer the thoughts and intentions of Emperor Yanling.

Now even the Zhao family is like this, and others who don't understand it are fools.

The Zhao family is wrong, but the crime is not so serious, but the Zhao family still acts like this, even in public without caring about face, which can only mean one thing.

The choice of the prince is probably set!

Li Chuyi knew all these things. Manager Liu reported to him in time as if he had any movement, just like their followers. Mu Fangli also sent people here on time. Nalan Guangcheng came here every two or three days. Even Nalan Mingyue sent messages quietly to inform him of some small clues that some big figures in the imperial capital could not notice.

Li Chuyi didn't care about other people. He cared most about Nalan Mingyue's news.

On the carriage that day, he asked Nalan Mingyue why Yuwen Taihao kept her. Nalan Mingyue suddenly became uneasy, but she couldn't figure it out after thinking all the way. She could only agree with Li Chuyi to think about it carefully after returning and inform him at any time if there was any result.

But after so long, Nalan Mingyue still got nothing. In the recent messages, he deeply doubted whether Li Chuyi was overthinking, but the fat man didn't think so.

Although they didn't meet much, Li Chuyi thought he knew Yuwen Taihao very well. Yuwen Taihao has always been organized in his work. He would never do anything without a purpose. He would never do anything meaningless.

He kept Nalan Mingyue and told her so many secrets. Li Chuyi felt that there was something wrong, but he just hadn't thought of it yet.

Nalan Mingyue continued to think about it, and at the same time, he was careful to beware of Yuwen Taihao. It was best not to go to the Zhenxi Palace when he had nothing to do. Li Chuyi put away the jade slips for the message, leaned back and sat on the soft chair, staring at the blue sky.

Yuwen Taihao asked him to wait, but he hadn't received any news from Yuwen Taihao until now. He couldn't see the strict guards and the huge crowds outside the guild hall, but he knew that he was upset just thinking about it. He really wanted to go out with a sword and let them all go away.

But he couldn't.

He had already agreed to Yuwen Taihao's suggestion, and it was certain that he would go to the palace to meet the emperor. Now that Emperor Yanling was showing him goodwill, he naturally had to make a little kind response, which was to acquiesce to the other party's arrangement.

So the Golden Armor Guards couldn't be driven away, nor could the people from the Supervisory Office, nor could the dignitaries who were surrounding the street corner.

Not driving them away could be interpreted as being arrogant, but driving them away would be equivalent to refusing. If the old emperor used this matter again and refused to let Hai Wufeng go, then he would have worked in vain.

Looking at the sky, the little fat man missed Li Sinian very much.

He didn't feel it much at ordinary times, but when Li Sinian left him, his side suddenly became much quieter. No one made jokes, no one argued with him, and no one carried a wine pot in front of him and said that they were going to find a suitable cliff to drink again, and at the end, they didn't forget to remind him that he still owed him a male crystal cup.

Thinking that the crystal cup was decades ago, and the fourth uncle still remembered it, the little fat man felt helpless and emotional, secretly saying that time flies, and so many years have passed in a blink of an eye.

Thinking of this, he turned over and kicked Xiao Erhei, who was lazily playing with three strips.

"Let's go shopping with me!"

Yawning lazily, Xiao Erhei looked up at him and said, "You dare to go out?"

Thinking about the scene outside, the little fat man was secretly chilled, but thinking about the nagging uncle all day long, he gritted his teeth and nodded.

Damn, if I don't pay back the cup, I will be nagged to death by the old man sooner or later!

By the way, won't that guy be obsessed with it?
