Luck entry, starting from the Nine Dragons' succession

Chapter 105 Entering Yujing and Beating the Drum of Dengwen
East Palace, camp.

Hearing the thunder exploding in the sky, Mr. Mingjing became a little restless.

However, the Sixth Prince sitting opposite him was like a dog-skin plaster, preventing him from getting away.

The Sixth Prince kept him in the camp on the pretext of asking him to find lost treasures.

However, the Sixth Prince kept going around in circles and refused to tell what the treasure he had lost was.

Instead, he kept going around in circles, clearly trying to delay time.

I'm a little annoyed by the Sixth Prince's harassment.

Coupled with the continuous thunder outside, Mr. Mingjing sensed a sense of unease.

Lu Tingyun and Baili Zhou are both cultivators who are good at musical instruments and sound waves, but they don't know any thunder magic.

The continuous thunder was obviously not caused by the two of them.

Mr. Mingjing took a deep breath, bowed to the Sixth Prince, and decided not to beat around the bush with him anymore.

"Sixth Prince, I am busy with important matters. Please tell me directly what treasure you want me to help you find."

Hearing Mr. Mingjing's direct questioning, the Sixth Prince did not get angry, but laughed out loud instead.

There is a hint of madness and freedom in the laughter.

"Hahaha!"

"My treasure is far away in the sky, but it is right before my eyes!"

"It's you, Mr. Mingjing!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Mr. Mingjing showed an expression of astonishment on his face.

The Sixth Prince wants to recruit him?
only……

After pondering for a while, Mr. Mingjing refused on the spot.

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness."

"It's just that I have to be loyal to my king while I'm eating his salary."

"Your Highness, you have done me no wrong, and I have no intention of betraying you."

Mr. Mingjing's refusal did not anger the Sixth Prince.

On the contrary, if Mr. Mingjing agreed immediately, the Sixth Prince would feel that Mr. Mingjing had bad character and no loyalty.

The Sixth Prince coughed, took a sip of spiritual tea, and then told the story.

"Mr. Mingjing, you don't know something."

"You are sincere to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, but the Crown Prince may not be so kind to you."

The Sixth Prince's words made Mr. Mingjing frown slightly.

"Why do you say that, Your Highness?"

"If this is just a ploy to sow discord, then you are underestimating me."

Hearing this, the Sixth Prince shook his head repeatedly.

"No!"

"No!"

"Mr. Mingjing, do you know who the evil spirit the prince asked you to capture is?"

The Sixth Prince's words, coupled with his determined expression, made Mr. Mingjing stunned.

Could it be that there is another hidden story behind this?
"Isn't it a divine evil?"

Mr. Mingjing asked back with a somewhat uncertain tone.

"of course not!"

"Huo Yingran is the descendant of Huo Polu."

Huo Polu is such a famous figure, Mr. Mingjing naturally knows his identity.

Are the descendants of Huo Polu that he wants to capture?
Your Highness, what did you do?
For a moment, Mr. Mingjing's mood sank to the bottom. His sharp eyes stared straight at the Sixth Prince, as if he wanted to get the answer from the Sixth Prince's mouth.

Seeing that Mr. Mingjing was suspicious of him, the Sixth Prince raised the corner of his mouth slightly and began to tell the story.

"Mr. Mingjing, this matter started more than a month ago."

As he spoke, the Sixth Prince's voice, like a devil, sounded faintly in the tent.

When Mr. Mingjing finished listening to the Sixth Prince's narration, he took a deep breath.

In order to obtain military books, the prince actually wiped out the entire Huo family.

The orphan of the Huo family wants to go to the capital to file a complaint with the emperor.

This time, the prince hurriedly sent the three of them to Tongzhou in order to kill the orphan of the Huo family.

The prince...

This matter was so outrageous that Mr. Mingjing was stunned for a moment and didn't know how to evaluate the prince.

Stupid?

Even a fool wouldn't do such a cruel thing.

As a descendant of the Huo family, although Huo Polu has no real strength, he holds a high status in the army.

No matter what, you have to give them some face.

If there is no conflict of interest, why would you provoke the descendants of the Huo family?
Not giving face to the descendants of the Huo family is equivalent to not giving face to the descendants of the twenty-four heroes of Yuntai Pavilion.

Mr. Mingjing has lived in Yujing City for many years. He knows the twenty-four heroes of Yuntai Pavilion, although there are many internal conflicts.

But to the outside world, it is very consistent.

The people who were most dissatisfied with the Crown Prince's extermination of the Huo family were probably the twenty-four heroes of Yuntai Pavilion.

hiss--

Mr. Mingjing has already seen the bloody storm that is about to break out in Yujing City.

Seeing Mr. Mingjing's expression, the Sixth Prince nodded slightly with satisfaction.

He believed that Mr. Mingjing was a smart man and knew what to choose.

Do you want to accompany the prince's ship and sink to the bottom of the sea?

An hour later.

The Sixth Prince walked out of the tent with a beaming face.

He waved his hand, and a confidant came to his side, lowered his head and obeyed his orders.

"Where did the Kuiniu Army come from? Have you found out?" The Sixth Prince's eyes narrowed and he asked in a deep voice.

"Your Highness, we still haven't figured out how the Kuiniu Army appeared in Tongzhou."

"Humph--"

"Hasn't it been checked yet?"

"So many mechanical beasts, could they just appear out of nowhere?"

"Also... how did these Kuiniu soldiers leave after slaughtering the Eastern Palace troops? Didn't you follow them?"

"Your Highness, the enemy is very powerful. Our people dare not get too close."

"It was discovered that this Kuiniu army entered a valley and disappeared inexplicably?"

"Disappeared?" After hearing the report from his confidant, the Sixth Prince frowned tightly, forming a deep "川" character.

"What exactly happened?"

"Is this subordinate unaware of this?"

"All we know is that after this Kuiniu army entered the valley, they never came out again."

"After waiting for a quarter of an hour, our people entered the valley and found that the Kuiniu army and the mechanical beasts had all disappeared."

Upon hearing this, the Sixth Prince became even more curious about how this Kuiniu Army appeared in Tongzhou.

"Take me to that valley!"

……

Outside Tongzhou City, in the mountains and forests.

The fight between Xiao Juefeng and Pei Qingxuan has not yet ended.

Xiao Juefeng felt a little embarrassed that he could not defeat the swordsman in front of him repeatedly.

He originally wanted to use the Gengjin Divine Thunder to capture Pei Qingxuan in one go.

However, the battle situation changed so quickly that he was dazzled.

Soon, he lost control of the situation.

After the Yin-Yang Thunder Prison killed Lu Tingyun and Baili Zhou, Xiao Juefeng's mood sank to the bottom, knowing that the game was over.

It was a foregone conclusion that the orphan of the Huo family would go to Yujing, the capital.

This failure cannot be blamed on him.

If you want to blame someone, blame the Sixth Prince for interfering.

If you want to blame someone, blame the Fourth Prince for being too insidious.

And... I don't know what happened to my father, so he couldn't get here in time.

only……

Now is no longer the time to get entangled with the swordsman in front of him. He must return to Yujing as soon as possible to discuss countermeasures with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

"Humph--"

"I'll let you go today!"

After saying that, Xiao Juefeng restrained the lightning.

He pinched his fingers together and transformed into a beam of light, escaping towards Yujing City.

Pei Qingxuan had no intention of chasing after him.

Huo Yingran boarded the Thunder Crow and headed for Yujing City.

With Xiao Juefeng's escape skills, he couldn't catch up at all.

She no longer had to worry about Huo Yingran's safety.

"call--"

"This matter has finally come to an end."

"Next, it's my own business."

Pei Qingxuan had no idea what kind of bloody storm would be set off after Huo Yingran entered the capital.

Even if she knew, it would have nothing to do with her.

She went to Yujing with her own purpose.

Her master, the former leader of Jiange - Mo Wufeng.

When he was young, he had a good friend named Huang who was well versed in the way of the stars. The two became acquainted through a fight.

Now, he has settled in Yujing City and is said to have become the protector of the royal family.

The reason she came to Yujing this time was to contact her master's old friend and investigate the cause of her master's death.

"Master, I will never let you die in vain."

……

Tens of thousands of miles away.

Lightning flashed above the sky.

The Gengjin divine thunder transformed into a thunder dragon, roaring continuously.

The power of these Gengjin divine thunders is a hundred times greater than that of Xiao Juefeng.

Opposite the Gengjin Thunder Dragon, there are white lotuses filling the void, like a dream, seeming real but not real.

A figure was moving back and forth in the sea of ​​lotus flowers, like a ghost.

"Humph--"

"White Lotus Evil, you are so bold, you actually dare to block my way!"

"Hehe—Xiao Wujiu, do you think this is the Shenxiao Sect?"

"Does everyone fear your authority as the elder of the Law Enforcement Hall?"

"If you want to go over there, let me see the power of Gengjin Divine Thunder."

Elder Yin's voice echoed in the void, seemingly coming from all directions, making it impossible to pinpoint his location.

According to Saint Gu Youlan's plan, the one who came to stop the support of Shenxiao Sect should have been the third candidate Saint.

Unfortunately, after the third candidate for the Holy Maiden entered Yujing, there was no news of her anymore.

He even ignored Gu Youlan's orders.

As a last resort, Elder Yin had to take action himself and meet with the elder of the Law Enforcement Hall of the Shenxiao Sect.

There was a cold glint in Xiao Wujiu's eyes, and murderous intent was boiling in them.

If looks could kill, then Elder Yin would have been hacked into pieces long ago.

A few days ago, after receiving news from his son Xiao Juefeng, he personally led a team to Tongzhou.

He didn't care at all about the grievances suffered by the orphan of the Huo family.

The Shenxiao faction supports the prince. Since the orphan of the Huo family threatens the prince's position, he naturally cannot tolerate it.

Therefore, after receiving his son's request for help, Xiao Wujiu brought the disciples of the Law Enforcement Hall and rushed to Tongzhou for support.

However, before reaching Tongzhou, they were stopped by the evil spirits of the Bailian lineage.

The opponent did not fight him head-on, but instead entangled with him and slowed him down.

"Humph--"

"Since you want to experience the power of Gengjin Divine Thunder, then I will grant you your wish!"

Xiao Wujiu snorted coldly, and lightning flashed on his body.

The Gengjin divine thunder erupted without reservation, sweeping across the universe.

In an instant, the sea of ​​white lotus in the void was washed into pieces.

……

Outside Yujing City.

The Thunder Crow slowly descended.

Huo Yingran stood on the ground, looking at the Yujing City that came into view, her heart filled with emotion, as if the world had changed.

"Thank you, senior, for giving me a ride!"

Huo Yingran bowed to the Qilin Secret Guard in the Thunder Crow and expressed her gratitude.

Upon hearing this, the Thunder Crow did not stay for too long. It spread its wings again and flew away, disappearing into the sky.

Huo Yingran raised her head and looked into the distance.

The outline of Yujing City came into her sight.

So majestic!
How spectacular!
Isn’t it the most powerful city in the world?

Just as Huo Yingran walked forward, before she had gone far, she heard a shout.

"Excellent spiritual tea!"

"Excellent spiritual tea!"

"Do not miss passing through!"

This shout seemed to have some kind of power, attracting Huo Yingran's attention and making her walk towards the tea stall involuntarily.

Soon, Huo Yingran discovered it.

This tea stall on the official road is very strange.

The tea stalls nearby were crowded with merchants coming and going.

Only this tea stall was empty, without a single customer inside.

There was only a young and handsome boss shouting loudly.

Huo Yingran took a look at the price of the tea and was stunned, almost dropping her jaw in shock.

A cup of spiritual tea costs ten thousand taels!

No wonder there are no customers in the tea stall.

Is this magical tea made of gold?
The owner of the tea stall saw Huo Yingran coming and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, as if he had been waiting for a long time.

"Guest, please give me a cup of spiritual tea."

"Ah... I... can't afford to drink..."

Huo Yingran waved her hands repeatedly, looking embarrassed.

A cup of spiritual tea costs one hundred thousand taels, not to mention her current situation.

Even if the Huo family had not been wiped out, they could not afford to drink such expensive spiritual tea.

"No need for money, just treat me."

The owner of the tea stall greeted Huo Yingran warmly.

This enthusiasm made Huo Yingran feel embarrassed to refuse.

As soon as I sat down, I heard the tea stall owner's question.

"Girl, I see you seem to be troubled by something."

Huo Yingran didn't know why, but she felt that the tea stall owner's questions were particularly kind.

Under normal circumstances, she would never reveal the reason for her visit to Yujing.

But today, perhaps because Yujing City was right in front of her, she let down her guard.

It could also be that the owner of this tea stall seems to have a special magic that makes people feel friendly to him involuntarily.

After Huo Yingran took a sip of the spiritual tea, her red lips opened slightly.

"I came to Yujing to file a complaint with the emperor."

"Complain to the Emperor? I've seen this kind of thing many times."

"Every year, many people go to the palace to file a complaint, but unfortunately, they are rarely successful."

The words of the tea stall owner immediately made Huo Yingran feel disappointed.

"The emperor is outside the Meridian Gate, where he has placed the drum for hearing reports."

"Can anyone who has a grievance go and appeal for justice?"

The owner of the tea stall sat down with a mysterious smile on his face.

"Miss, you are an outsider and don't know the rules of Yujing City."

"Father... the emperor has indeed set up a drum outside the Meridian Gate to report his actions."

"Whenever the Dengwen drum sounds, the court must accept the case. The case of the person crying out for justice will also reach the heavenly court and fall into the eyes of the emperor."

"But... those who beat the drum to report the injustice are not only those who cry out for justice, but also those who make false accusations."

"If we allow the false accusers to report the incident to the emperor, will the officials of the imperial court still be able to do their jobs?"

"Therefore, there is a rule in the court that before the drum is struck, no matter whether you have a genuine grievance or not, you must be caned thirty times."

"Even a cultivator with great martial arts skills wouldn't be able to withstand thirty blows of the cane, let alone a little girl like you."

When Huo Yingran heard this, her pretty face turned pale and her pink lips were completely bloodless.

Her pink fists were clenched tightly, and the knuckles seemed to turn white with unwillingness.

Even though he knew the tragic situation of beating the drum to file a complaint, it still did not shake Huo Yingran's determination to file a complaint with the emperor.

"Even if I die, I will die outside the Meridian Gate."

"I must seek justice for the injustice done to my entire Huo family."

Huo Yingran secretly made up her mind.

She has to face all this alone.

She didn't want to trouble Sister Xuan and Senior Hei Wuchang anymore.

Along the way, Sister Xuan and Senior Hei Wuchang helped her a lot.

She had to take this final step herself.

only……

She felt a little regretful.

Senior Hei Wuchang had done him a favor, and she had originally promised him that she would help him make connections.

Now it seems that there is no chance.

Taking a deep breath, Huo Yingran smiled at the tea stall owner with an expression of gratitude.

"Thank you for your advice, boss."

"In this world, besides the most vicious villains, there are still good people."

After expressing her gratitude, Huo Yingran left the tea stall and walked into Yujing City without hesitation.

In the tea stall.

After Huo Yingran left, the tea stall closed immediately.

"Your Highness, the spiritual tea that the Huo family girl drank just now was the withered mist tip given to you by His Majesty."

"Giving this kind of spiritual tea to the daughter of the Huo family for free, wouldn't that be..."

Upon hearing this, the Fifth Prince shook his head, not caring at all about the confusion in his confidant's heart.

“No matter how precious the withered mist tip is, it is just a cup of spiritual tea.”

"This tea can revive the dead and turn bones into flesh. It also has the miraculous effect of allowing the seriously injured to break through bottlenecks."

"The Huo family is gone, and only an orphan girl is left. Naturally, she is not worthy of this tea."

"But all I did wasn't for Huo Yingran to see."

"It was read by a descendant of the twenty-four divine generals of Yuntai Pavilion."

"What's the point of fighting to the death in Tongzhou?"

"Compared to the twenty-four divine generals of Shi En Yuntai Pavilion, it's just picking up sesame seeds and losing watermelons."

The corners of the Fifth Prince's mouth rose slightly, and his tone revealed a strong disdain when he spoke of the Battle of Tongzhou.

As soon as he finished speaking, the flattery of his confidant arrived in time, making the Fifth Prince very happy.

……

East Palace.

Huo Yingran has arrived in Beijing!

When the prince heard the news, his face turned pale and his body swayed twice, as if any gust of wind could blow him down.

Once the fact that he wiped out the Huo family is exposed, it will definitely cause him a heavy blow.

Even more so than the left prime minister's departure from the capital and Lu Zangfeng's betrayal.

The prince had almost seen the scene of all the civil and military officials in the court impeaching him.

He also saw the second prince, the third prince and a group of his good brothers applauding and cheering.

"Xiao Juefeng, you misled me!"

The prince gnashed his teeth, looking as if he wanted to eat Xiao Juefeng alive.

The four great masters of the Eastern Palace joined forces to attack, but they were unable to stop Huo Yingran.

How on earth did they do it so badly?
The prince was so angry that his eyes turned bloodshot, like a gambler who had lost.

"No—I haven't lost yet!"

"As long as Huo Yingran can't withstand the caning and dies under it, then..."

But, the words were not finished.

A burst of rapid drumbeats came from the direction of the Meridian Gate and entered the East Palace.

The moment he heard the drum, the prince's legs went limp and he sat down on the chair, beads of sweat the size of beans appearing on his forehead.

"What should I do?"

"How to do?"

"Will the Emperor really want to destroy me?"

"Who else can help me?"

"Oh right... and Mr. Wu!"

"Quick, please invite Mr. Wu over."
