Chapter 1227 Special Ally
“Half an hour ago.”
Xuanyuan Lingwei’s expression changed and she couldn’t help shouting: “If we set off half an hour ago, then The fourth brother may not have been killed yet. If we rush there now, maybe we can save the fourth brother!”
Seeing Xuanyuan Lingwei's anxious look, Liang Yan had a calm expression, waved his hand and said, "Your Highness, please be patient. According to Yilu, Xuanyuan Qi is not in danger of his life for the time being."
"Huh?" Xuanyuan Lingwei frowned, but after thinking about it carefully, she quickly understood what Liang Yan meant.
In the final analysis, this partisan dispute is still a power struggle between her and the second prince Xuanyuan Haoyu, and Xuanyuan Qi's life and death will have little impact on the overall situation.
The reason why the second prince captured Xuanyuan Qi was just to hope that he would not help Xuanyuan Lingwei, and having such a hostage in hand would also give him an extra layer of protection.
As long as Xuanyuan Lingwei doesn't show up for one day, Xuanyuan Qi will not die.
"However, even if the fourth brother is not in danger for the time being, we cannot sit idly by and ignore his arrest. After all, the fourth brother still has a lot of evidence that can help us testify against the second brother!" Xuanyuan Ling Wei said firmly.
"Of course, I didn't say not to help him. I just need to find out the details of my opponent before taking action."
Liang Yan pondered for a moment, turned to look at Cao Ying, and asked: "Shopkeeper Cao, you run Chunfeng Tea House here, and you are Xuanyuan Qi's backbone. You must be well-informed, but do you know that there are still people around the second prince?" What masters are there?”
“This.”
Cao Ying replied while thinking: “Xuanyuan Haoyu himself has a cultivation level in the middle stage of Tongxuan, and there are even more senior ones around him. Hands like clouds, but three days ago, it seemed that in order to capture His Highness, he had already sent out most of the masters around him, and even the mighty general Tianwei also sent out his troops. Now Xuanyuan Haoyu is surrounded by at least the true king of Tongxuan realm. There are nine more ancestors who are above the Transformation Level. In addition to the Confucian God General Ling Chongxiao, there is also a mysterious 'Luo Shen'."
"Is there another one?" Liang Yan heard. Frowning slightly.
You must know that the monks in the Tribulation Realm are all ancestors of one party, and they can be said to dominate one party. Before coming here, he guessed that Xuanyuan Haoyu might only have the "Confucian God General" around him, but he didn't expect that with all the masters available, there would be another monk in the Tribulation Realm next to him!
"The background of Xuanyuan Haoyu is really profound."
Liang Yan thought to himself, and then asked: "Shopkeeper Cao, where is this 'Luo Shen' from? What is his strength? Already. How many difficulties have you overcome?"
He asked several questions in succession, but Cao Ying looked embarrassed, shook his head and said: "Cao is not clear about this. In fact, the existence of "Luo Shen" is not the information collected by our Chunfeng Teahouse, but was told to us by His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince. According to him, this "Luo Shen" is very mysterious and is not a local monk in the Xuanyuan Region, but from outside the region. She came here, but she was treated as a guest by Xuanyuan Haoyu and treated her with great respect!"
After hearing Cao Ying's answer, Liang Yan frowned even deeper.
Things are far more complicated than I expected.
If there was only Confucian God General, the opponent was seriously injured in the battle at Luofeng Temple, and was invaded by Jingyuan's evil spirit. It would take seven or eight days to recover. And he has suppressed most of the evil spirit in his body with "Eight Divisions of Evolution". With one ebbing and another ebbing and flowing, he can defeat the opponent in less than a hundred moves.
But now there is a "Luo Shen" with a mysterious origin, which makes Liang Yan feel hesitant.
If the other party is just a monk who has just overcome the first and second difficulties, then he will not be afraid of facing the two of them, but if the other party is like Ling Chongxiao, he is also a monk who has overcome the first disaster. Then I will definitely not be happy with this trip.
"With our current strength, we cannot say that we are sure of victory. We must find more allies." After a long silence, Liang Yan suddenly sent a message to Xuanyuan Lingwei.
"Allies?" Xuanyuan Lingwei raised her brows slightly, glanced at Cao Ying, and asked secretly: "Brother Liang, didn't we already look for him just now? The Wenxiang Chamber of Commerce is unwilling to take action. , the Qingyun Chamber of Commerce has been banned, and the Jialan Chamber of Commerce has been arrested. Now looking at the entire Guangling City, no one can help us.”
After hearing this, Liang Yan smiled slightly.
“Your Highness, you have forgotten someone.”
“Who?”
“The Lord of Guangling City, Zhu Youqing!”
“He? ! ”
Xuanyuan Lingwei's eyes widened, as if she couldn't believe it.
"Brother Liang, are you kidding? Three days ago, you had a battle with him at Luofeng Temple. I remember that Zhu Youqing was hit by your sword energy. I'm afraid he is still recovering from his injuries. How could it be possible? Will you help us?"
"This time, that time."
Liang Yan shook his head and said: "Princess, I didn't know something. I pretended to be Guo Tong and walked to Na Lin. I told you that Zhu Youqing Now he is under house arrest in his own city lord's palace. As the deputy sect leader of Haotian Sect, he does not want to involve the sect in the royal struggle, but he does not want to offend the second prince. If the second prince gains power, then their Haotian Sect will suffer. I’m afraid things will be difficult in the future.”
“You mean he doesn’t want to see the second brother in power now. If we try to persuade him, he will probably help us.”
After listening to Liang Yan's analysis, Xuanyuan Lingwei's eyes lit up, with a hint of excitement on her face.
"This is just a possibility." Liang Yan's expression remained unchanged, and he still said through voice transmission: "Just in case, you stay here, and I will go alone to meet this Guangling city. City Lord, you will act accordingly.”
“That’s fine, then Brother Lao Liang will be there!” Xuanyuan Lingwei nodded.
The communication between her and Liang Yan was all done through sound transmission. Although the two of them had already decided on a strategy, the people around them, including Tan Youli, Zishan and Cao Ying, had no idea. Affection.
“Shopkeeper Cao.”
After finishing the transmission, Liang Yan turned his head, looked at Cao Ying, and said, "Before the fourth prince left, did he tell you where in Guangling City he went to attend the banquet?"
< br>"No, His Highness the Fourth Highness was taken away by Xuanyuan Haoyu's envoy. Even he himself didn't know where exactly." Cao Ying shook his head, his face looking very ugly.
“You don’t need to worry about this.” Xuanyuan Lingwei said at this time: “After these few days of hard work, I have completely tamed the Rakshasa Demonic Cow. I just need to cast a spell to make it remember the spirit of Yew. Gen, we will be able to track the second brother’s location soon.”
“Okay!”
Liang Yan nodded and said, “In that case, Then you stay here and cast spells to control the Rakshasa Demonic Cow. As for Lu, go out now and come back in half an hour!" He and Xuanyuan Lingwei had already made a plan, but they didn't say it clearly at this time. Cao Ying saw it. He was very sensible and didn't ask any more questions. He just cupped his hands and said, "Fellow Taoist, go ahead with peace of mind. We will fight to the death to protect the safety of the Sixth Princess!"
"Thank you, shopkeeper Cao!"
Liang Yan returned the gift with his hand, and after saying goodbye, he turned around and left the Chunfeng Teahouse.
The tea house and the City Lord's Mansion are both in the north of the city, and the distance is not too far. After Liang Yan came out, he chose the small streets and alleys, and after walking for a short time, he came to the vicinity of the City Lord's Mansion.
I saw a magnificent white palace with hundreds of monks patrolling around it. However, these monks were all wearing silver armor. They were obviously no longer from the city lord's palace, but monks from the Xuanyuan Army.
Liang Yan observed from a distance for a long time, and suddenly raised his hand to perform a magic spell. The entire figure turned into a gray light, taking advantage of the patrol of hundreds of monks, and disappeared into the high wall of the white palace from the middle.
The moment the gray light entered, the surrounding restrictions produced subtle ripples, but the ripples were so small that even the monks patrolling nearby were not aware of them.
The next moment, countless fine sword energies emerged from the gray light, like drizzle, instantly smoothing out the surrounding restricted fluctuations.
To say that the restrictions in the City Lord's Mansion are extraordinary, even if a monk from the Tribulation Realm comes, he may not be able to sneak in silently.
But Liang Yan stepped into the Sword Infant Realm, and with every move he made, everything could be turned into a sword. Just now, he condensed the water-shaped energy around him and turned it into fine water swords. In just a moment, he suppressed the fluctuations caused by the restriction, without even a trace of breath leaking out.
After Liang Yan sneaked into the city lord's mansion, he didn't show up. He used the Tianji Pearl to hide his aura and walked directly through the wall.
In just a few breaths, he arrived outside a courtyard. It was quite quiet here. No servants entered the place, but he could vaguely hear the sound of someone talking.
Liang Yan's expression moved slightly, and he quietly approached the other courtyard, only to hear a rough and arrogant voice coming from inside:
"His grandma is a bird! That kid bullies people too much! In terms of morality and practice, He has just entered the middle stage of Tongxuan, why should he point fingers at me? I really can’t stand this arrogance!”
As soon as he finished speaking, someone next to him sighed: “Brother Ouyang, please say a few words. In this situation, as long as His Majesty does not come out of seclusion, the Second Prince’s The power is enough to cover the sky with one hand, be careful that trouble comes from your mouth!”
"Hmph, I'm afraid he will do something! This is the city lord's palace, and there are restrictions around it. How can he grow an ear here?" The rough voice from before muttered, but his confidence was obviously lacking.
When Liang Yan heard this, his heart moved. He suppressed his aura with the Tianji Bead and quietly jumped onto the wall.
Looking around, I saw five people standing in the other courtyard. One of them was a middle-aged man with a slight bald head and scars on his face. He looked terrible.
The first person to speak just now was this person.
Four people stood beside him, including a young man with a long sword on his back, an old man with gray hair and a childlike face, and two beautiful young women, one charming and the other beautiful.
Among these five people, the one with the worst cultivation is the pretty and lovely female cultivator, but she is also in the early stage of Tongxuan, and the other four are at least in the late stage of Tongxuan.
Liang Yan lay on the high wall and listened patiently for a few words. He found that almost everyone in the yard was venting their dissatisfaction with Xuanyuan Haoyu. Among them, the rough man was the most excited. At this time, he turned around Go and shout towards an attic in the courtyard:
"City Lord Zhu, now Xuanyuan Haoyu covers the sky with one hand, and even Guangling City has not let go, and has uprooted all our foundations here. This How can we develop the Seven Northwest Sects? Please ask City Lord Zhu to come forward and seek justice for us!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the old man with gray hair and childlike face also said: "Brother Ouyang Dao, Xuanyuan Haoyu is right!睚禦We must retaliate because of that little misunderstanding back then to suppress our seven sects in the northwest. Our seven sects are in the same spirit. If this continues, it will be very detrimental to the Haotian Sect.”
“Hmph!”
There was a cold snort from the attic, and after a while, the two wooden doors were slowly pushed open, and an old man of half a hundred years, dressed in brocade clothes and wearing a bead curtain and feather crown, walked out in a hurry.
Zhu Youqing!
Liang Yan on the high wall narrowed his eyes. The old man coming out of the house was exactly the target he was looking for on this trip.
At this moment, Zhu Youqing swept the crowd with his razor-like eyes, and finally sighed and said: "Xuanyuan Haoyu has gained power, do you think I feel good? Think about Xuanyuan Haoyu and Xuanyuan Lingwei back then. We can still remain neutral when fighting each other, but the power of the Sixth Princess has been gradually disintegrated over the years, and now Xuanyuan Haoyu's family is the dominant one among the seven northwest sects that offended Guoxuan. Yuan Haoyu, now people have to settle this account!"
As soon as he said this, everyone present looked dim. After a moment of silence, the plump and charming female cultivator suddenly spoke. : "No matter how powerful Xuanyuan Haoyu is, in the final analysis, he is only in the middle stage of Tongxuan. And City Lord Zhu, you are already the ancestor of the Transformation Tribulation Realm. Doesn't he even give you face?"
"Haha, Elder Yun, do you really not understand or do you pretend not to understand?"
A strange look appeared on Zhu Youqing's face, and he sighed: "The current Guangling City is no longer under the control of this city lord. Hit. When you came in, you didn’t see that many people outside. Xuanyuan Army? Xuanyuan Haoyu said it nicely on the surface. These Xuanyuan Army came to act as guards while I was recovering from my injuries. Haha, but they weren’t actually here to monitor and place me under house arrest? "
After listening to Zhu Youqing’s words, The faces of the five people present were extremely ugly.
"He doesn't even look down on City Lord Zhu now. It seems that the good days of our seven northwest sects are coming to an end," the young man carrying a long sword said in a harsh voice.
“That’s not necessarily the case!”
A voice suddenly sounded from outside the yard.
“Who?!”
The faces of the five monks in the Tongxuan Realm changed slightly. They turned around and looked towards the entrance of the courtyard. They saw a gray figure. The man in long robe slowly walked into the courtyard.
"Who are you? What are your motives for daring to sneak into the city lord's mansion?!" The young man carrying a long knife was the first to shout.
"Humph, what nonsense are you talking to him about? We need to capture a person with such a suspicious origin first!"
The rugged man took a step forward, held a magic formula in his hand, and was about to use his magical power when he heard a deep voice behind him shouting:
"Stop it!"
Five people in the courtyard were all He was slightly startled, then turned around and saw that Zhu Youqing was not angry. Instead, his face was solemn, he cupped his hands towards the visitor and said:
"Goodbye, my friend, you are all right. Last time we said goodbye in a hurry, you still don't know your surname?"
This is what he said. Everyone present looked horrified, with only one thought in their minds:
"Did I hear you correctly? This talent is only in the middle stage of Tongxuan, and City Lord Zhu actually calls him 'fellow Taoist?'"
