Chapter 139 All parties gather
Luojing City, Princess Zhaoning’s Mansion.
The fourth prince Xiao Shangzhen is also about to leave the capital and go to Laizhou Mansion to explore the immortal ruins.
Princess Zhaoning is very worried about her ignorant brother.
She spent a whole night packing Xiao Shangzhen's luggage and stuffed many magical weapons such as sky-breaking beads, glass bottles, green smoke armor, and golden fans into his packages; in addition, there were also There are more than ten talismans and seals drawn by Zhang Daqi's imperial master.
Before leaving, she kept urging in Xiao Shangzhen's ears: "Xiao Shangzhen, when you go to the Laoshan ruins this time, you must be very careful and don't be careless. The young monks who go with you are all big. The Qi Dynasty is one of the most favored sons in the world, and their methods are bound to be endless. Although you are a member of the royal family and practice the "Dragon Heart Sutra", a top-notch martial art in the country, and your qualifications are not bad, you are still inferior to those people. I am very worried that you have been tricked by those people..."
"Sister, why are you more verbose than the old lady who sews clothes?" Xiao Shangzhen lay on the window sill, playing with the window lattice. Dust, while frowning, said, "You have told me these truths thousands of times. I have long remembered them in my heart. I am tired of hearing them all."
"I said these, and I still It's not because I'm worried about you!" Princess Zhaoning scolded her with a straight face, "You think you are great every day and never practice sword practice! Think about it, the last time you met that person in the 'Realm of Taoism' Didn't you get a good beating from him when you were playing 'Suzaku'?"
"That's a special case!" Xiao Shangzhen still wanted to argue, "It's impossible for everyone to master it like 'Suzaku'. Using tricks like "Seven Styles of Burning Heaven" that are almost cheating!"
"Humph," Princess Zhaoning said coldly, "None of the young people in Laoshan this time are mediocre people - even if They don't know "Seven Styles of Burning Heaven", they must also have other unique skills, and they can easily control you
"By the way, according to the information I recently received, 'Suzaku' is also going to the Laoshan ruins."
"'Suzaku' is also going?"
Hearing Princess Zhaoning's words After saying this, Xiao Shangzhen immediately jumped down from the window sill, waved his fist and said: "I lost to him last time in the 'Realm of Discussing the Tao'. This time I must challenge him and regain the place with my own hands!"
Seeing her brother's appearance, Princess Zhaoning sighed helplessly again.
"I mention 'Suzaku' to you, not to let you find a place, but to hope that you will find a way to make friends with him. He is a genius that has not been seen in a century in the Daqi Dynasty, and there is a high probability that he will rise to the top in the future. , to become a powerful practitioner and a powerful person," she said patiently to her brother, "If you can take this opportunity to form a friendship with him, then he may become an important helper to our sister and brother in the future. It will be very helpful for you to fight for the 'Tai'a Sword' and the right to inherit the throne in the future."
Xiao Shangzhen felt quite unhappy when she heard the word "Tai'a Sword" from her sister again. But in order to prevent his sister from nagging in his ears, he nodded slowly.
"Okay. Since you said so, sister, I will reluctantly accept a younger brother."
"By the way, Xiao Shangzhen, I have one more thing to warn you," Zhao Princess Ning paused for a moment, then said seriously, "After you go to Laizhou Mansion this time, you must not expose your code name in the 'Realm of Taoism' to anyone - just in case the reserves of the 'Shenji Battalion' The other monks here know that the fourth prince of the Daqi Dynasty is a pervert who likes to pretend to be a woman and shout "good brother", then our royal family will lose face."
"Sister, I don't care about such a small thing. I will pay attention! I don’t need you to remind me!”
“…”
In this way, the two siblings talked to each other, one kept nagging worriedly, and the other nodded perfunctorily.
When the early morning sun climbed over the treetops, a eunuch wearing a dark blue brocade robe came to the princess mansion.
It was Cao Tong, the eunuch Bingbi, the eunuch.
Cao Tong is a fifth realm practitioner.
This time, Princess Zhaoning specifically entrusted him to send Xiao Shangzhen to Laizhou Mansion.
"This time, please leave it to Eunuch Cao!"
"I will live up to His Highness's trust!"
Afterwards, Xiao Shangzhen took the luggage that Princess Zhaoning had prepared for him overnight and followed Cao Shangzhen. Behind Tong, he stepped on the sword, rose into the air, and flew quickly toward the northeast.
Luojing City became smaller and smaller in his field of vision. The biting cold wind howled past, making his cheeks hurt.
"'Suzaku', just wait," Xiao Shangzhen thought secretly in his heart, "I will definitely not lose to you this time!"
Princess Zhaoning stood quietly at the door of the princess mansion. , watching his brother disappear into the sky with a "swish" like a flying bird, and his figure can no longer be seen.
She took a deep breath and tried to calm down her worried emotions.
“This time, with Eunuch Cao and Mr. Shi from Laizhou Prefecture taking care of this boy, he should be fine...”
“I hope he can take advantage of this opportunity to obtain After all, this is about whether he can catch up from behind, defeat his brothers, and win the 'Taea Sword'..."
"In addition, making friends with Yishui Gu Xu is also very important to us. In fact, I am very afraid that an arrogant boy like Xiao Shangzhen will mess things up..."
"Maybe next year Gu Xu After Xu comes to the capital, I have to find an opportunity to meet him in person. For a practitioner like Gu Xu who comes from a civilian background and lacks resources, he will definitely choose to help us as long as the conditions are met..."
…………
Shu Land, Jiange.
Su Xiao was still standing on the top of the cliff, waving the wooden sword in his hand as always, practicing the seemingly simple sword moves one after another.
At this time, a little Taoist boy hurried to his side and said to him: "Senior Brother Su, the Pavilion Master asked me to remind you that the Laoshan ruins will be opened soon. The 'Shenji Camp' requires you to find Laizhou Prefecture before tomorrow. Qianhu Shilei reports. Senior brother, please don’t forget this!”
“Yes.” Su Xiao’s words were as brief as ever.
After the Taoist boy left, Su Xiao put down the wooden sword in his hand, returned to the thatched cottage where he practiced and lived, and carefully took out a three-foot sword in a sheath from a wooden box. Long sword, wear it carefully on your waist.
Su Xiao is an ordinary-looking person.
This sword also has an ordinary-sounding name.
It's called the "Three-foot Sword".
For many years, this sword has never been unsheathed.
It’s not because Su Xiao is reluctant to use it.
But because he has not yet encountered an opponent worthy of drawing his sword out of its sheath.
This made him feel disappointed and bored.
"I wonder if the 'Three-foot Sword' will have a chance to be unsheathed during this trip to Laoshan..."
He sighed softly.
Then, he stepped on the wooden sword, turned into a ray of blue light, and disappeared into the sky in an instant.
