Chapter 222: The Ghost King and the Crown Prince Hiding in the Palace 2
Hearing this, Xie Lian suddenly felt a chill down his spine, and the hairs on his back stood up.
He seemed to understand how the Imperial Master felt when he sneaked into his room late at night and took off his mask. He heard Jun Wu stand up from the table and slowly walk towards him.
Huacheng was standing behind the curtain beside the bed!
He hid his love under the pillow when he went to bed. Now he put his hand on the hilt of the sword and clenched it, looking for the opportunity, but he doubted that there was any opportunity. Unexpectedly, Jun Wu did not go behind the curtain, but came to the bedside and directly lifted the quilt on him. Xie Lian felt a chill on his body, sat up suddenly, and stared at him. Jun Wu looked at him and said calmly: "This dress is not suitable for you."
“…”
Only then did Xie Lian remember that the Jinyixian was still with him!
Although Jin Yi Xian had changed into a white robe, Jun Wu naturally would not miss it. He looked at him for a moment, sighed, and said, "You just won't listen to me. You went out to make trouble again."
Xie Lian looked at him in doubt. Suddenly, his eyes swept to the table. There was a gift box on it. The box had been opened. Inside were a few cabbages, potatoes, and radishes.
“…”
It turns out that the Rain Master just called Jun Wu and said that the thing he forgot to give him was a local specialty of the Rain Master Village...
Behind Jun Wu, Hua Cheng calmly lifted a corner of the curtain with his hand, revealing his true face behind the curtain, and looked past Jun Wu and Xie Lian in the eye.
His hand slowly placed on the curved silver hilt at his waist, as if he was considering whether to act immediately. Xie Lian did not think this was a good time, and pretended not to want to talk to Jun Wu, shaking his head.
Jun Wu said: "Where did you hide the spiritual text?"
Of course, Lingwen couldn't be handed over. As soon as he saw Lingwen, he didn't need to ask her what happened. As long as he saw that she was turned into a tumbler, he could guess that Huacheng must have sneaked into Xianjing.
But, Xie Lian couldn’t help but doubt – did Jun Wu really have no doubt that Hua Cheng had sneaked in?
At this time, Jun Wu said again: "Xianle, your expression seems to say, something is wrong. What's wrong? Could it be that besides Jinyixian, you have hidden someone else?"
Xie Lian's expression did not change at all. Jun Wu really knew him inside out.
After exchanging a calm look with Hua Cheng behind Jun Wu, Xie Lian calmed down and said coldly, "You can think whatever you want. Anyway, no one can go out now, and I can't do anything. As long as you are happy, old man." After saying that, he lay down again and pulled the quilt over his head. Jun Wu turned around and began to pace slowly in the Xianle Palace, searching.
After searching slowly for a while and finding nothing, he pondered for a moment, and finally turned to the curtain and reached out his hand.
When the curtain was lifted, there was nothing inside.
After a moment, Jun Wu lowered the curtain and returned to the table. However, Xie Lian, who was lying on the bed, was still worried.
Hua Cheng was lying next to him in the quilt, their faces were very close. Xie Lian's heart was pounding, and his whole body was tense. Hua Cheng smiled slightly and said silently: Your Highness, don't be afraid.
Just now, as soon as Jun Wu turned around, Hua Cheng calmly lowered the curtain. After he walked over, he calmly walked out from behind the curtain and silently flashed to Xie Lian's bed. Xie Lian pulled him onto the bed and stuffed him in. As soon as Hua Cheng rolled onto the bed, Jun Wu turned around again.
The timing was perfect and the positioning was delicate, so Jun Wu saw nothing except a messy bed.
Finally, Jun Wu said, "Xianle, don't sleep. You can't sleep anyway. Get up and follow me."
Xie Lian actually wanted to stay in bed, but he was afraid that Jun Wu would come over and lift the quilt if he couldn't get up, so he had to get out of bed reluctantly, leaving the blue tumbler hidden in his sleeve next to the pillow.
Jun Wu had already left the bedroom. Xie Lian looked back and saw Hua Cheng had also gotten off the bed, looking serious and ready to come over. Xie Lian waved his hand quickly, signaling him not to expose himself, it was okay. Jun Wu, who had already left, said again, "What's wrong? Why aren't you leaving? Is there something on the bed that's stopping you from leaving?"
Xie Lian immediately went back to the room, took the box of souvenirs on the table, closed the door and came out, holding the gift box, took out a radish and took a bite, saying calmly, “Nothing, I’m hungry, isn’t that okay?”
Jun Wu glanced at the thing in his hand and said softly, "You like this. I have more. I'll bring it to you another day."
Xie Lian: “…”
After walking a few streets, they heard a voice yelling in the distance: "Hahahahahahahaha! Feng Xin! You dog! This Ghost King is stepping on your temple right now, so what! What! Come and hit me! Hahahahahahaha!"
It's Qi Rong again!
When he got closer, he saw that the golden palaces were destroyed by him, and there were big and ugly "I was here" signs everywhere. Qi Rong even climbed up the roof and tore off the tiles, yelling at the imprisoned priests. Gu Zi was beside him, aggrieved, and hesitant to speak.
At the moment, he was jumping around on Feng Xin's Nanyang Palace. Feng Xin was annoyed and ignored him. Qi Rong shouted for a long time but it was meaningless, so he went to Mu Qing Palace and shouted again. Mu Qing seemed to roll his eyes at him from a distance, which made him so angry that he jumped up and down, and then jumped to Quan Yizhen's Palace. Unexpectedly, before he opened his mouth to shout, a statue of a god with curly hair suddenly broke through the roof, flew out, and knocked him headfirst off the roof. It turned out that Quan Yizhen, in anger, used his own statue as a weapon and threw it directly at him. Guzi was shocked and lay on the edge of the eaves and said, "Dad! Are you okay!"
Qi Rong was furious and said, "Quan Yizhen, this shameless idiot! He actually used despicable means to sneak attack me!"
Gu Zi hesitated for a moment and asked in confusion: "Dad, what despicable means did he use?" It was obvious that Quan Yizhen threw the statue over openly.
Qi Rong cursed, "You stupid son! As long as he beats me, no matter what means he uses, they are all despicable means! Otherwise, how could he possibly beat me?!"
Gu Zi: “Oh…”
"..." Qi Rong was his cousin after all, and Xie Lian couldn't help but cover his face. Jun Wu paused and said, "Green Ghost."
When Qi Rong heard this voice, his expression froze, he climbed up, and looked over here warily, apparently very afraid of Jun Wu. When he looked over, the "father and son" naturally both looked at Xie Lian, and Gu Zixi said happily, "Brother, the tattered Taoist priest!"
Qi Rongze smiled evilly and said, "Hey! Who is this? Isn't this the prince's cousin?"
Xie Lian didn’t want to pay any attention to him, but he still made a scene. He came over and circled around Xie Lian, mocking him, “Weren’t you very arrogant before? You had two big backers behind you and didn’t take me seriously. Why are you acting like a stray dog now?”
Xie Lian was puzzled. “Two backers?” It took him a moment to realize that one was Hua Cheng and the other was Jun Wu. He glanced at Jun Wu in front of him and was overwhelmed with emotions. He suddenly remembered that a long time ago, he had asked Hua Cheng what he thought of Jun Wu. At that time, Hua Cheng’s answer was that Jun Wu must hate him.
Qi Rong added: "Haha, you relied on Gou Huacheng's support to sneak attack me before, but I haven't settled the score with you yet, but you've been settled first. It's really a fate that will turn the tables!"
Jun Wu said calmly: "Qing Gui, don't waste your words on Xian Le. You can release your subordinates now."
Although Qi Rong had previously cursed Jun Wu behind his back, when he really stood in front of Jun Wu, he tucked his tail between his legs. Although he looked unconvinced, he went upstairs to grab some grain and went to run errands without saying anything. Jun Wu said to Xie Lian again, "Let's go."
Xie Lian looked at the road that Jun Wu had taken him down, and thought to himself, “Is this direction leading to… Qi Rong’s subordinates? Could it be…”
After a while, they turned a corner and saw a magnificent Temple of the God of War in front of them.
Mingguang Palace!
In the hall, there were already chaotic shouts and roars. Xie Lian was startled and didn't care to follow Jun Wu and rushed in. The hall was in chaos! Pei Ming's face was livid, and Xuan Ji was like a dead snake wrapped around him, twisting several times and wanting to tie a knot. Her long hair was loose, her face was green and her teeth were red, and her eyes were glaring. She seemed to want to bite Pei Ming's neck, but her neck was pinched and pulled out by Ban Yue; on the other side, a broken sword pointed directly at Pei Ming's throat, as if it was about to pierce it, but Pei Su held it tightly with both hands, so the blade did not move forward; and behind Ban Yue and Pei Su, Ke Mo waved his fists to hit them. If it weren't for Pei Ming, who was livid, holding on for a breath to hold him back, I'm afraid Ke Mo's two fists, which were bigger than hammers, would have flattened Pei Su and Ban Yue long ago; Xuan Ji and Rong Guang were vying to strangle and stab Pei Ming to death, while they were still tearing and cursing at each other. Xuan Ji screamed, "Get out of here! Pei Ming's life is mine, mine, all mine!!!"
Rong Guang, who was possessed by the Mingguang Sword, cursed: "Get lost! You have no self-awareness! There are at least 800 women that Pei Ming doesn't want, can you rank among them? I'm the one who wants to kill Pei Ming!!!"
Pei Ming's forehead was bulging with veins. He said, "...You two...are both sick!!! Get out of here!!!"
“…”
Xie Lian felt extremely sympathetic. In a way, this was a welcome misfortune. He said, “General Pei, hold on!” and was about to go to the rescue, but before he could do so, a hand was placed on his shoulder.
Jun Wu said behind him: "Xianle, you don't think that I called you here to ask you to help do good things."
Pei Ming and the others also noticed this side in their anxiety. Ban Yue said happily: "General Hua!"
Xie Lian was pressed down by his hand and could not move at once. He asked, “Then what did you come to ask me for?”
Jun Wu kept his hand on his shoulder and pushed him into the hall. As soon as he entered, the tangled group of people seemed to have their strength drained away and all collapsed to the ground, with only a few still having the energy to struggle.
Jun Wu said: "Bright light."
Xuan Ji stopped pinching his neck, and Pei Ming's face finally returned to normal. He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Emperor, this is really...thank you so much."
Although his tone was not sarcastic, the words themselves were quite sarcastic. Jun Wu did not care, smiled slightly, and said: "You don't have to thank me so early. Mingguang, I came here to ask you to help me do something."
Pei Ming: "What?"
Jun Wu said: "In the imperial city of the lower world, there is a human formation right now."
really!
Jun Wu said calmly: "Break the human formation and restore your identity as the Northern Martial God."
Pei Ming glanced at Xie Lian and laughed dryly, “Isn’t that Blood Rain Scholar guarding the formation now? I’m afraid Pei can’t break through it by force.”
Jun Wu said: "Of course you can't break through by force, and I didn't say you must break through by force."
If it was Pei Ming, it would be very easy to break this formation. As long as he pretended to go over to help, Shi Qingxuan would definitely let him in. If he entered the formation and then evacuated unexpectedly, the formation would be ruined!
What's more, Huacheng is not guarding the imperial city at all now, so there is no way to remedy the situation!
