Lu XiaoWu As soon as he finished speaking, someone in the banquet snorted angrily.
"What nonsense!"
But when he saw Kong family Kong Zhenyuan standing up, pointing at Lu XiaoWu, he yelled, "Li Yan is such a madman. He robs prisons and seizes people. He draws his sword in the street and floutes the law. This is clearly the same as rebellion! We can only mobilize troops to encircle and suppress them quickly to set the record straight!"
"Master Prince De, you..."
Halfway through, I realized something was wrong.
His impassioned voice echoed in the hall, but the expected crowd of support did not appear.
In the huge Prince De's Residence banquet hall, you can actually hear a pin drop.
Those Jinan Prefecture officials looked at their noses and their noses, their noses looked at their hearts, a few gentry who were friends with Kong family quietly bowed their heads, and even Mingde Academy's normally aristocratic disciples were silent at this moment.
The passionate tail note of Kong Zhenyuan suddenly hung in the air. Looking around, my heart skipped a beat.
He secretly thought something was wrong and secretly looked at Prince De on the main seat.
Prince De Xiao Hong slowly put down his wine glass, with a calm expression. He first glanced at Kong Zhenyuan, who was slightly embarrassed, and then looked at everyone. His voice was not high but could be heard clearly throughout the hall. "Li Yan, I have heard about this person."
He paused and continued, "It is extraordinary that the rivers and lakes are rough. The chaos in Chengdu, the crisis in Luoyang, and even the disaster of the academy in the capital were all resolved by him. The imperial court recognized his merits and treated him with courtesy. There must be cause and effect, and he cannot be messed with."
These words were like a basin of cold water, making Kong Zhenyuan's heart feel cold.
His face turned from red to white, he opened his mouth, but finally did not dare to say any more, and sat back down.
Kong family is now in decline, and Yansheng Duke's position is pending. How dare he offend Prince De.
Prince De ignored him and turned to look at Lu XiaoWu, with a trace of inquiry in his pampered eyes. "Mr. Lu, since you are willing to go to this industry, you must be confident."
"I don't know how sure I am that I can talk to that Li Yan and make him... calm down for the time being?"
Lu XiaoWu knew that the critical moment had arrived. He took a step forward, straightened his back and said loudly, "Prince, I... I and that Li Yan are from the same hometown!"
As soon as he said this, even Kong Zhenyuan looked up at him in shock, let alone other people in the hall.
Lu XiaoWu's face remained unchanged, as if it was true. "Although we are not in the same village, we are still neighbors."
"I heard of his name when I was young. Although I went on separate trips, I still felt a sense of family friendship. When I went to state my interests and concerns, I spoke to him with emotion and reason. I expected that Li Yan would always give me a bit of a thumbs-down."
"Oh? There is a sense of hometown friendship?"
Prince De's eyes were slightly bright, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Okay! Since Mr. Lu understands the righteousness and is willing to shoulder the heavy responsibility, I will leave this matter to you."
"With my king's token, I order the soldiers of the surrounding government offices to retreat to a stone's throw away, and not to press any more to cause trouble!"
"As you command!"
A stone fell from Lu XiaoWu's heart. He respectfully accepted the gold medal given by Prince De, turned around and left with a long stride.
Jiangzhe Merchant Guild, The door is closed.
"Hmph!"
Master Zhao looked at the Lu XiaoWu token. Although he was unwilling to do so, he just snorted coldly.
Those government officials and soldiers did not want to get involved in this matter. With the Prince token, they naturally retreated quickly.
As for Lu XiaoWu, he came to the closed door alone.
He took a deep breath, straightened his appearance, and gently opened the door:
"Your Excellency, Lu XiaoWu, in accordance with Prince De's thousand-year-old decree, I am here to meet and talk with Young Hero Li!"
After a moment, the heavy door creaked open from the inside.
Sha LiFei poked his head out and saw clearly that it was Lu XiaoWu, and asked in shock, "What are you doing here?"
"Sha Da Xia."
Lu XiaoWu smiled and said, "I have been ordered by Prince to talk to you."
"Then come in!"
Lu San and others did not buy Spiritual Material. Sha LiFei saw that there was a turnaround and did not bother to ask too much.
Stepping in, the door quickly closed behind him.
The atmosphere in the hospital was solemn, with Kong Shangzhao pacing around anxiously.
Li Yan and others were in the front hall, staring at Lu XiaoWu with cold eyes.
Lu XiaoWu felt awe-inspiring in his heart, and did not dare to show any slightness. He kept his posture extremely low, bowed and bowed from a distance, and said sincerely, "Brother Li Yan, it's been a long time. Lu XiaoWu is here on the order of Master Prince De. There is absolutely no malice."
Li Yan nodded slightly and motioned for him to continue, his eyes still as sharp as a knife.
Lu XiaoWu straightened up and spoke in a more sincere tone, "To be honest, Prince was shocked when I heard that you were here."
"Prince respects you very much. I guess there must be a cause and effect to this matter, so I sent you to inquire."
This was his plan, to use misunderstandings to pull strings from both ends to gain favors.
In fact, he has been paying attention to Li Yan's information, knowing that he will not stay in Ji South City for long. What to say when the time comes is all his business. As long as he seizes the opportunity, he can take advantage of the situation.
"Oh?"
Li Yan narrowed his eyes slightly, "It's just a misunderstanding. Kong family acted too domineeringly."
"Brother Li is right..."
Lu XiaoWu sighed, "Kong family is no longer as good as the previous generation. To be honest, Prince has no intention of getting involved in these internal affairs of Kong family. We just need to ensure that the 'witnesses' are safe and sound and find out the truth behind Yansheng Duke's sudden death."
He deliberately emphasized the word "witness", implying that Shopkeeper Kong's "value" lies in the truth rather than Kong family's personal grudges.
After saying that, he paused and then looked at Li Yan's expression. Seeing that he didn't show any displeasure, Lu XiaoWu tentatively took a step forward and lowered his voice and said, "Prince The reason I was ordered to come here this time is actually to ask Brother Li Yan, what do you think about the current deadlock? If we can get the best of both worlds, Prince is willing to do his best to mediate and calm the storm."
Li Yan was still a little skeptical, "Prince De's Residence is so kind?"
Lu XiaoWu's eyes flickered, as if he had made some determination, and his voice lowered, "To be honest, Prince heard that you are Attendant from the academy, and I have always regretted missing the opportunity. If this time can have some good consequences..."
He is also extremely shrewd and good at observing people's words and emotions. He knows that when dealing with people in the world like Li Yan, he must not go round and round like officialdom and shopping malls. Instead, he can gain trust by being direct and clear.
Sure enough, Li Yan and others believed a lot after listening to it.
After all, Steam Engine has already created momentum in Divine Land, and all parties do not want to miss it.
"Easy to say!"
Time is running out, Li Yan no longer hesitates and speaks decisively:
"The conditions are very simple. First, no one is allowed to disturb this place before Zi Hour! Second, I want these things!"
After saying that, he raised his hand and a piece of yellow paper full of writing was handed to Lu XiaoWu by Sha LiFei.
Listed above are the many rare Spiritual Material and incense instruments required by "Three Yin Soul Return Altar".
Lu XiaoWu took a look at the list. Although he didn't understand how precious it was, he immediately agreed, "Prince is in my hand. The palace and Jinan Prefecture may be able to borrow one or two temporarily. As long as there is South City in the collection, we can put it together. Brother Li, don't worry, I will not miss your ritual!"
After saying that, he quickly left and rushed to Prince De's Residence.
When Prince De saw it, he felt even more happy.
That's how people are, they don't trust what they can get easily.
The more precious the thing Li Yan wants, the more he believes in Lu XiaoWu.
Of course, there is no need to mention the energy of Prince De's Residence.
Under the supervision of Lu XiaoWu, all the items were delivered in less than half an hour.
I also brought back a few flavors of Prince De's Residence's requiem fragrance!
Wang Dao Xuan After checking everything one by one, he nodded slightly.
Li Yan then said in a deep voice, "Thank you, Prince, on behalf of Li, and I will send a letter to the academy later."
"Thank you, Brother Li!"
Lu XiaoWu was overjoyed and suppressed his excitement. He clasped his fists again and said, "I'll leave right now. Don't worry, with Prince's warrant, no one will bother me."
After that, he left in a hurry.
"Tsk, tsk."
Looking at the other party's back, Sha LiFei narrowed his eyes and said, "There's something wrong with this guy. Is he just using our name to make ends meet?"
"It doesn't matter."
Li Yan said calmly, "There are many people like him, so he is the only one who can do good things."
"Get ready to cast a spell to save people tonight!"
At midnight, South City has fallen into darkness.
Only the front yard of the Jiangzhe Merchant Guild is still brightly lit.
In the bluestone courtyard, Wang Dao Xuan screened away the crowds and others, and drew a three-layered magic circle with cinnabar mixed with chicken blood in the center of the courtyard.
There are three positions in the outer formation, which are divided into copper coins, Peach Wood Sword and soul-inducing bells;
The center array is paved with five-color soil to represent the yin and yang fish talisman;
At the core, <Five Directions Fengdu Banner> unfolds into the wind, and the flag with black background and gold pattern moves automatically in the calm of wind.
Wang Dao Xuan checked it over and over again and was very cautious.
This "Three Yin Soul Return Altar" is the solution method in <Five Chapters Divine Secret>, which is specially used to chase souls. It is very powerful, but because it is still an ancient system, it attaches great importance to the cultivation of Human Path.
If it weren't for <Five Directions Fengdu Banner>, this great magical weapon, he wouldn't be able to use it.
After careful inspection, he took the Shopkeeper Kong blood-stained middle coat and cut the Cheng San corner talisman, and used Yellow Talisman to fold three yellow paper cranes, and said solemnly, "This 'Three Yin Parade Technique' uses the Earthly Deity Method flag to connect Yin and Yang."
"Yan XiaoGe, San Er, Master Lin, the three of you Divine Ability have the strongest senses and are the most suitable. Remember, the three of you need to guard the three positions of heaven and earth. Their souls are sent to paper cranes to trace their souls. Yan XiaoGe occupies the heavenly position and is the master of sensing. San Er occupies the position to explore the underworld. Master Lin guards the human position to observe the fate of the world."
"Don't worry, Daoist Master." Li Yan and Lu San nodded seriously.
Fatty Lin is also full of anxiety and excitement.
As soon as Zi Hour arrived, when the Yin Qi was at its peak, Wang Dao Xuan bit off his index finger and flicked the blood on the flag flag, waved Law Sword, and said in a deep voice, "The power of the five directions opened the way, Luo Feng ordered to break the barrier! Essence Blood sent a cable for the boat, and the three yins bound the soul to send a kite!"
Wow~
Suddenly there was a strong wind in the courtyard, five Dharma flags were flying in the air, and paper money all over the floor was rolled up and flying like butterflies.
Li Yan The three of them sit cross-legged in the formation, with talisman pouches hanging on their waists and holding paper cranes in their hands.
Wang Dao Xuan continued to step on the steps of Yu and said, "The fire of heaven breaks through the barriers, the status of earth follows the traces, and the status of human is locked in the truth."
Five Directions Fengdu Banner black mist surged out and enveloped the three people.
At the same time, Li Yan and the other three also closed their eyes, feeling their minds sinking.
"Get up!"
As Wang Dao Xuan Law Sword picked it up, the three paper cranes immediately fluttered their wings and disappeared into the night sky wrapped in black mist.
Jiangzhe Merchant Guild On the roof of a tall building in the distance, Zhao Tong Master Zhao watched all this with an expressionless face.
He had calmed down by now and knew that tracking down the real culprit of Yansheng Duke was a top priority.
After the matter is settled, we can start trouble with these people again...
Li Yan opened his eyes again, only to feel the wind blowing loudly around him.
He seemed to have become extremely small, but the paper crane beneath him was more than three feet tall. He was surrounded by billowing black clouds. He could vaguely see figures in armor inside, and there was endless darkness and thick fog ahead.
Li Yan was not panicked when he saw this.
This is Five Directions Fengdu Banner bardo soldier guard, riding a crane to chase the soul, it couldn't be safer.
The only trouble is that the white fog ahead seems endless.
Li Yan rides on the back of the paper crane, concentrates on the formula, and uses Smelling Mystical Power and Ear Mystical Power with all his strength.
They have the Essence Blood medium on Shopkeeper Kong. As long as they are in the right direction, they can find the other party Divine Soul.
On the other side, Lu San experienced the same thing. He also did not panic and used his full Ear Mystical Power to listen.
However, they still found nothing.
As for Fatty Lin, he was panicked at first. After he found out that it was safe, he carefully observed his surroundings. Sometimes he looked at the Yin soldiers protecting him in the black mist, and sometimes he lay on the paper crane and carefully inspected the texture.
I'm curious about the baby's nature again.
After being busy for a long time, I finally remembered to use Divine Ability.
He practiced secretly and was able to become Treasure Hunter, so his natural talent was extraordinary.
The awakened Eye Mystical Power is very rare, and Treasure Qi can be seen, which is why we met Li Yan.
I originally thought that I was just showing off, after all, Li Yan and Lu San are both better than him.
But after using Divine Ability, he immediately made a discovery.
"Huh?"
Fatty Lin couldn't help but rub his eyes.
He actually saw a golden light shining in the fog below.
Is it possible that I can find some treasures here?
Fatty Lin was so excited that he pressed the paper crane and immediately flew downwards.
The thick fog dissipated, and a wilderness appeared in front of us, with dead locust trees and graves everywhere.
The paper crane flew him through the air, and suddenly he saw a temple appearing in front of him.
The temple is not big, and the roof has a hole in the grass. It is dark and has no light. It has obviously been dilapidated for a long time.
"Hehehe~"
Suddenly, the sound of children playing came from the ruined temple.
Fatty Lin swallowed his saliva and slowly approached on the paper crane.
The closer you get, the bigger the ruined temple becomes, like a giant's residence.
He saw the faded clay statue lying crookedly on the ground, holding a clay gourd in his hand, shining with precious light.
There was a breath coming from the gourd, and the talisman pouch around his waist kept beating.
"Found it!"
Before Fatty Lin could be happy, the voice of Wang Dao Xuan came from the sky again.
"Zi Hour The Yin Road travels thousands of miles, Living Soul leaves the body--return!"
The scene in front of me quickly rotated and dissipated, and the paper crane beneath me also burst into flames.
Fatty Lin felt his vision go dark. When he opened his eyes again, he was already in the small courtyard.
Others stood by and watched him.
"Found it!"
Fatty Lin stood up quickly. "Land God Temple outside the city! Shopkeeper Kong's soul is stuffed in Treasure Gourd!"
"Let's go first!"
Without any hesitation, Li Yan immediately took out a suit of armor and tied it to his waist and legs. Then he stepped on the steps and chanted. "Nogao! Six Jia Nine Chapters, the sky is round and the earth is round, the four seasons and the five elements are, the sun and the moon are the light, Yu steps to clear the way, Chi You avoids soldiers, the blue dragon supports the hub, the white tiger supports the talisman..."
It is North Emperor Swift Travel Technique Mystical Gestures.
With his current way of doing things, he can already lead others to perform.
"Ah!"
Before Fatty Lin could react, Li Yan grabbed his clothes and jumped into the air.
In the distance, Zhao Tong suddenly looked intently.
In his eyes, two figures were wrapped in the black wind, soaring from the Chamber of Commerce, leaping on the roof, as if flying in the air, and disappeared in the south of the city in the blink of an eye.
"Escape technique?"
Zhao Tong frowned slightly, made the same gesture, the wind blew under his feet, and suddenly disappeared...
