Luck entry, starting from the Nine Dragons' succession

Chapter 77: Asking for a Holy Judge? Asking for a Holy Judge again?!

Led snakes out of their holes?

Shang Hongye's eyes narrowed, and she slowly chewed on Fang Heng's proposal.

She was well versed in military tactics and naturally knew how to lure the snake out of its hole.

However, Zhou Jueyin was cautious and cunning.

It is not easy to lure him out.

Taking a deep breath, Shang Hongye raised her head and looked at Fang Heng with her watery eyes.

"Your Highness, please explain in detail."

"Hongye, what do you think about having someone disguise themselves as a demon from the Bailian lineage, contact Zhou Jueyin, and lure him out?"

Fang Heng chuckled and told him in detail what he was thinking.

After hearing Fang Heng's plan, Shang Hongye's brows furrowed even more tightly.

No matter how you look at it, this plan seems unreliable!

How to disguise yourself as a member of the White Lotus lineage?
How to contact Zhou Jueyin?
How to gain Zhou Jueyin's trust?

Zhou Jueyin is not a fool.

Far from being a fool, he is actually a very astute hunter.

However, when Shang Hongye raised her eyelids slightly and saw Fang Heng's confident look, she cursed in her heart.

Shang Hongye, you are so stupid!

Since Your Highness said so, I guess you have a complete plan.

What are you thinking about here?
"Your Highness, please enlighten me."

"I don't deserve your guidance!" Fang Heng shook his head and said modestly, "I have hidden agents in the White Lotus lineage."

"He happens to be in charge of delivering the message to Zhou Jueyin."

"Every time the White Lotus lineage's evil spirits contacted Zhou Jueyin, they would go to No. 72, Xinghua Hutong, Life and Death City, and throw the message into the tree hole at the gate of the courtyard."

His Highness had actually already placed hidden agents in the White Lotus lineage.

It’s hidden so deeply!

"Then how do we gain Zhou Jueyin's trust?"

"A letter alone may not be enough to make Zhou Jueyin show up."

Shang Hongye continued to ask.

Fang Heng smiled but said nothing.

Fang Heng naturally had a plan on how to gain Zhou Jueyin's trust.

Because he has already grasped Zhou Jueyin's weak spot.

What is Zhou Jueyin's biggest weakness?
There is no doubt that it is the innate god that is being nurtured in the God-Slaying Formation.

Why did Zhou Jueyin lose his patience when the second prince began to investigate the poison in Shang Lengyun and planned the Plum Garden case in an attempt to kill the second prince?

At first, Fang Heng thought that it was to cover up the secret destruction of the God-Slaying Formation.

Fang Heng was not sure until he saw the figure in the divine sea of ​​clouds.

The motive for the sneak attack on Plum Garden was not only to cover up the destruction of the God-Slaying Formation, but also to cover up the impending emergence of an evil god.

As long as you grasp this point, you don't have to worry about Zhou Jueyin not showing up.

“Trust can be built slowly.”

"There's no rush for this. I already have a plan."

"To carry out the plan to lure the snake out of its hole, do we need someone's help?"

Fang Heng took a sip of the spiritual tea on the table and told the story.

"Who?"

"Second prince!"

Shang Hongye: ???

There was a hint of doubt in his eyes.

Noticing Shang Hongye's confusion, Fang Heng spoke slowly.

"Second brother has a guest disciple named Qianhuan Daoist, who is proficient in the art of transformation and can simulate the aura of evil spirits."

"We need Taoist Qianhuan to disguise himself as a demon from the White Lotus lineage and deliver a message to Zhou Jueyin."

"Your Highness is right!"

Shang Hongye nodded slightly, a serious expression on her pretty face.

Her beautiful eyes suddenly lit up.

It is like a sharp divine sword, emitting brilliant sword light.

After listening to Fang Heng's detailed plan, she found that the plan to lure the snake out of its hole still had a good chance of success.

"Your Highness, let's go to the Prince of Qin's Mansion now."

"Now?"

Fang Heng was stunned for a moment. It was already past midnight.

The Second Prince is probably pushing the cart on the bed. If we go over there now, wouldn't that be a bad thing?

However, Shang Hongye obviously didn't think so much and directly gave instructions to the coachman outside.

"Go to the Prince of Qin's Mansion."

Seeing Shang Hongye so eager, Fang Heng shrugged and had to accompany her.

"Let's go to the Prince of Qin's Mansion."

"Got it, Your Highness!"

After receiving Fang Heng's order, the wheels rolled over the bluestone ground, making a low rumbling sound.

……

Prince Qin's Mansion, study.

Various ancient books are listed on the bookshelf.

The landscape screen, with elegant ink color, stands quietly by the side.

Fang Heng and Shang Hongye sat on rosewood chairs, slowly sipping the spiritual tea.

After waiting for a while, the second prince, wearing a python robe, walked over quickly.

The second prince was naturally unhappy when he was woken up from his concubine's bed in the middle of the night.

But after hearing that the visitors were Fang Heng and Shang Hongye, the Second Prince suppressed his dissatisfaction, forced a warm smile, and warmly entertained the two.

"Ninth brother, why are you two here at Second Brother's house instead of being affectionate with each other in the middle of the night?"

As soon as he came up, the second prince teased the two of them.

Shang Hongye seemed to have prepared himself for being teased. His expression remained unchanged, and he still looked as heroic as before.

She stepped forward and said with a bow.

"Your Highness, Prince Qin, Hongye is visiting you late at night to ask for a favor."

As if sensing Shang Hongye's urgency, the Second Prince's eyes narrowed and curiosity arose in his heart.

However, his expression remained calm and he spoke very generously.

"Hongye, you are also my sister-in-law."

"As long as I can help, I will definitely help."

"Your Highness, please spare me the favor and lend me Taoist Qianhuan."

Taoist Qianhuan?

Upon hearing this, the Second Prince was slightly startled at first, then he fell into deep thought, thinking about who this Taoist Qianhuan was.

One of his guest officials was not very strong and was at the bottom among the three thousand guest officials.

The only thing he did was his magic of transformation, which was quite mysterious and left a slight impression on the Second Prince.

"The Taoist Qianhuan is just a nobody. I'll send someone to invite him over right away."

"I wonder why you, Hongye, borrowed Taoist Qianhuan for this purpose?"

The second prince picked up the white porcelain blue and white teacup, which was steaming and filled with the fragrance of tea.

He slowly drank a sip of spiritual tea to refresh himself.

Shang Hongye did not reply immediately, but turned to look at Fang Heng.

Fang Heng smiled and interrupted.

"Second brother, I'm borrowing your men to bring Zhou Jueyin to justice."

Snap!
The white porcelain blue and white teacup slipped from the second prince's hands.

It smashed to the ground, broke into pieces, and the tea splashed everywhere.

Arrest Zhou Jueyin and bring him to justice?

Upon hearing this, the Second Prince was shocked at first, and then a hint of hidden resentment flashed in his dark eyes.

"Ninth brother, do you know Zhou Jueyin's identity?"

"I still don't know Zhou Jueyin's identity."

"However, I do have a plan to capture Zhou Jueyin."

As he spoke, Fang Heng told the Second Prince all about his plan to lure the snake out of its hole.

After hearing the plan, the second prince was excited, and the anger in his eyes was like a volcano about to erupt, surging in the undercurrent.

He clenched his fists tightly, his knuckles turning white from the force and making a creaking sound.

If there is anyone in the world who most wants Zhou Jueyin to die, it must be the second prince.

The Second Prince still vividly remembered the humiliation he suffered in the Plum Garden.

His severed left arm has become his haunting nightmare.

Only by cutting Zhou Jueyin into pieces can the hatred in his heart be relieved.

"Ninth brother, I will do my utmost to help you with this matter."

"Just go ahead and do it."

The second prince was excited and waved his hand, joining Fang Heng's plan.

He was so enthusiastic about the plan to lure the snake out of its hole.

In addition to avenging the previous shame, he also wanted to win over Fang Heng.

He had just won over his ninth brother during the day today.

In the evening, the ninth brother brought his future princess to visit him and discuss important matters with him.

Although the ninth brother didn't say it, he must have started to favor me in his heart.

Big brother, big brother!
You probably don’t know yet, but your Three Lives Stone was given away for nothing!

As long as the hoe is used well, there is no wall that cannot be dug down.

A quarter of an hour later.

Upon receiving the news that the Second Prince had summoned him, Taoist Qianhuan pulled himself away from the arms of the courtesan.

She strode quickly to the Second Prince's residence, her face flushed and her excitement evident in her words.

Ever since he joined the Second Prince's sect, he has been sitting on the bench and not taken seriously.

Late this night, the Second Prince summoned me. This is a sign that he will use me in an important position.

When Taoist Qianhuan came to the study, he saw not only the Second Prince, but also the Ninth Prince and Shang Hongye.

Taoist Qianhuan was suddenly delighted.

I guessed it right.

"I am Taoist Qianhuan, and I pay my respects to the Second Prince."

"I have met His Highness Ninth Prince."

"Meet Princess Anyang."

Taoist Qianhuan bowed deeply to the three people.

"Get up."

"The king has summoned you today and has an important task for you."

The second prince spoke slowly, his tone calm and composed, and it was impossible to tell whether he was happy or sad.

"Please rest assured, Second Prince."

"Even if I have to endure hardships, I will never frown."

Without thinking, Taoist Qianhuan patted his chest and made the promise.

He wants to improve so much!
"That's good!"

"You disguise yourself as a demon from the White Lotus lineage and deliver a message to Zhou Jueyin."

A demonic being disguised as a descendant of the White Lotus lineage?

This is so familiar to me!

Before joining the Second Prince, he had disguised himself as a demon many times.

He could clearly feel the aura of the six divine evil spirits of the Shinto sect.

Go and send a message to Zhou Jueyin...

and many more!

Send a message to the evil star Zhou Jueyin?

hiss--

Taoist Qianhuan suddenly took a breath of cold air and felt panic in his heart.

Who doesn’t know the evil reputation of Zhou Jueyin?

Ever since the Meiyuan Incident, Zhou Jueyin's notorious reputation for evil has spread throughout the country.

Nowadays in Yujing City, if there are children who are not well behaved, the people will use the name Zhou Jueyin to scare the children.

It's just like a child crying at night, and the sound is silenced when heard.

Taoist Qian Huan was a little panicked. He couldn't help but regret his previous commitment, wishing he could slap himself. However, he had to make the promise in front of the three nobles.

Even if he wanted to regret it, he couldn't.

If you really regret it, it may be more dangerous than sending a message to Zhou Jueyin.

Taoist Qianhuan said with gritted teeth.

"Your Highness, I am willing to make the trip."

"But Zhou Jueyin's whereabouts are mysterious, and I don't know where to pass on the message."

"You don't need to worry about where to deliver the message. You just need to do as I say."

"Your subordinate..." Taoist Qianhuan gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice, "As you command!"

City of Life and Death.

No. 72 Xinghua Hutong.

A sneaky man passed by the locust tree at the gate of the yard and secretly threw a letter into the hole in the tree.

About a quarter of an hour later.

A creak!
The gate of the yard slowly opened.

A skinny old man came out and took the letter from the tree hole.

Then, there was another creak and the door closed, as if nothing had happened.

Returning to the house, the skinny old man opened the letter.

The content of the letter was a bunch of incoherent words that didn't make any sense at all, as if it were written randomly by an illiterate child.

The skinny old man could tell at a glance that this was encrypted.

According to the secret code, start decryption.

After a while, a coherent sentence appeared in the mind of the skinny old man.

After reading the contents of the letter, the skinny old man threw the letter into the brazier.

Zi La Zi La!

In the blink of an eye, the letter was burned to ashes.

After doing all this, the skinny old man took out a piece of incense as thick as a thumb.

With a gentle twist, a faint flame ignites at the incense head.

As the incense burns, thick smoke rises and slowly swirls in the air.

The smoke gradually condensed and transformed into a blurry human figure.

The outline of the figure gradually became clear, with a hint of mystery and solemnity.

The old man stared at the figure in the smoke with a solemn expression. He quickly knelt down with a face full of piety.

"Greetings to the Lord!"

"Why contact me?"

"What happened to the Six Meridians of the Worship God?"

Zhou Jueyin's voice rang out in the house.

"My Lord, the White Lotus clan wishes to meet with you to discuss important matters..."

As he spoke, the skinny old man repeated the contents of the letter to Zhou Jueyin.

After hearing this, Zhou Jueyin sneered.

"The White Lotus lineage has a spy in the imperial court who wants to join forces with me to sabotage the restoration of the God-Slaying Formation."

There was a hint of disdain in Zhou Jueyin's laughter.

It seemed as if they were mocking the Bai Lian lineage for overestimating their own capabilities.

However, his laughter soon stopped and he changed the subject.

"Since the White Lotus lineage wants to cooperate, then show some sincerity and let me see what the White Lotus lineage is capable of."

After saying this, the figure that was conjured up by the incense smoke shattered and disappeared into the void.

After listening to Zhou Jueyin's instructions, the skinny old man began to write a letter, encrypted it, and threw it back into the tree hole.

The skinny old man was not aware that his every move was clearly seen by Fang Heng and others not far away.

"Has Zhou Jueyin shown up?" The second prince asked impatiently.

Fang Heng shook his head and said calmly.

"How can it be so easy?"

"There was some movement in the room just now, but it should be Zhou Jueyin's distraction."

After hearing this, the second prince sighed.

Of course he knew that what the evil god was best at was the method of splitting the spirit.

Even a wooden sculpture or a clay statue can become a medium for their divine descent.

If you want to kill the evil god, you must find his real body.

Otherwise, even if you kill more distractions, it will only weaken the opponent.

The second prince gave Taoist Qianhuan a look, and Taoist Qianhuan mustered up his courage and went to the tree hole to retrieve the reply letter.

Fortunately, no accidents occurred during the whole process.

This made Taoist Qianhuan breathe a sigh of relief.

"Your Highness, the reply letter has arrived."

Hearing this, the second prince's eyes suddenly lit up.

Sure enough, everything happened just as Ninth Brother had expected, and Zhou Jueyin actually took the bait.

I have my ninth brother to help me, which is like adding wings to a tiger!

It will surely replicate the beautiful story between my father and the eighth uncle.

Brother, what can you use to fight me?

The second prince immediately took the letter, opened it and began to read.

"Those offering sacrifices to Xuanluo burn incense on the mountain facing the sky, and then turn around and carry the solution..."

The content of the letter made the Second Prince's eyes turn black.

He recognized every word on it, but when they were put together, it was like reading a book written in heaven.

He was about to ask Fang Heng, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt it was inappropriate.

If I ask, won't I appear ignorant?
In a flash, the second prince came up with a solution.

He cleared his throat, handed the letter to Fang Heng, pretended to be calm, and said.

"Ninth brother, what do you think?"

Fang Heng took the letter and saw that it was all ciphered, and he knew that his second brother didn't understand it at all.

However, he would not expose the Second Prince's tricks in front of his subordinates.

"Second brother, Zhou Jueyin wants us to show sincerity."

"It can be seen that he has the intention to cooperate."

"Our first step was a success!"

This reaction was within Fang Heng's expectations.

After all, the imperial court is now hunting down the Shintoists, and at this time the Bailian lineage jumped out and said they wanted to cause trouble.

No matter who you are, you should think about it.

Zhou Jueyin did not refuse outright, which shows that the evil god in the God-Slaying Formation is really his weak spot.

Shang Hongye, who was standing by, finally let go of the huge rock in his heart when he heard this.

Zhou Jueyin, he really took the bait!
"Sincerity!" The second prince raised his eyebrows and thought secretly in his heart.

"Let's go back to the palace first!"

"Let's discuss what sincerity Zhou Jueyin requires."

Everyone returned to the palace.

The sky in the east was already bright.

The morning mist slowly dissipated like a veil, revealing the azure sky.

The morning glow dyed the sky red, and golden light poured down, covering the palace with a layer of golden gauze.

The second prince summoned several trusted guests to discuss important matters.

In the study, everyone was very excited and not sleepy at all.

"Zhou Jueyin requires sincerity. What do you think?" The second prince, as the host, took the initiative to speak.

Shang Hongye pondered for a moment and spoke slowly.

"Why not give Zhou Jueyin a gift so that he can feel our sincerity."

"Not appropriate!" The Second Prince shook his head repeatedly. "Zhou Jueyin is cunning and deceitful. A simple treasure is probably not enough to dispel his concerns."

"Unless we can come up with a treasure of the spiritual treasure level."

Fang Heng agreed with the Second Prince's judgment and nodded slightly.

The valuable treasures were not enough to satisfy Zhou Jueyin.

As for the spiritual treasure, it is impossible to take it out and give it to Zhou Jueyin.

If it was really given to him, it would arouse Zhou Jueyin's suspicion and vigilance.

"Your Highness, what do you think?" Shang Hongye asked.

When the Second Prince heard this, a sharp look flashed in his dark pupils.

"Didn't Zhou Jueyin want to kill me?"

"I'll use myself as bait to give him this opportunity!"

As soon as the second prince uttered these murderous words, several guests present hurried to persuade him.

"Your Highness, no!"

"You are worth a lot of money, how can you take risks? What if something goes wrong?"

"Your Highness, please take back your order!"

……

Several guest officials present begged desperately.

Some even shed tears.

This whole scene fell into Fang Heng's eyes.

The second prince's idea of ​​using himself as bait was beyond Fang Heng's expectations.

He didn't expect that his second brother's hatred for Zhou Jueyin was so deep that he was willing to take huge risks to lure Zhou Jueyin out.

As for the guests' pleas, some of them were sincere and did not want the Second Prince to take risks.

On the other hand, there is also the acting part, which shows one's loyalty.

"Cough cough!"

Fang Heng took a sip of the spiritual tea, cleared his throat and said.

"Brother, I don't think it's appropriate!"

"What's wrong?"

The second prince frowned. He was not just putting on a show when he offered himself as bait.

He really thought that using himself as bait would work.

What if Zhou Jueyin is very powerful?

There are so many masters in the royal family, like a swarm of fish crossing the river, but they can’t defeat Zhou Jueyin?

"Second brother, I know you are eager for revenge."

"It's just that I'm afraid Zhou Jueyin is no longer interested in your life, second brother."

The second prince moved his lips a few times, wanting to refute, but in the end he didn't say a word.

Because every word Fang Heng said was true.

Now the fact that the God-Slaying Formation was secretly destroyed has been exposed.

It makes no difference whether the second prince is killed or not.

"Ninth brother, what do you think?"

Fang Heng pondered for a moment and said coldly.

"Yujing's defense map."

"I think Zhou Jueyin must be very interested."

"No!"

"No!"

The Second Prince and Shang Hongye both objected in unison.

The defense map of Yujing City is very important.

How could I hand it over to Zhou Jueyin?

What if Zhou Jueyin gets the defense map and the Plum Garden Incident happens again?
The second prince thought he was brave enough.

But when Fang Heng's idea came out, the second prince realized that his ninth brother was even crazier than himself.

"Ninth brother, the defense map is a matter of great importance. If it is handed over to Zhou Jueyin, I don't know how much trouble it will cause."

"Think twice about this!"

"Since you can't make up your mind, second brother, let's go to the palace and ask the emperor for his judgment."

Another Holy Judgment?!
When the Second Prince thought of the scene in the God-Slaying Division that day when Fang Heng asked for the Holy Judgement in public, his heart couldn't help but twitch.

But now it seems that no one can convince anyone else.

Asking the emperor for his decision is a good idea.

"Ninth brother, let's go into the palace."
