Luck entry, starting from the Nine Dragons' succession

Chapter 87 Shen Qiushui: Carrying Sister Hongye on her back, so exciting (two in one, 10,000 words chapter)
The hunt for Shen Yanzhou's followers is in full swing.

The entire Yujing City was abuzz with discussion.

After all, Shen Yanzhou was a second-rank official, the Right Censor-in-Chief. It was rare to see an important official of this level being executed along with his entire clan.

At the second rank, even if one makes a mistake, he will most likely be demoted or retire to his hometown, and it is rare for him to be executed along with his entire clan.

Such a big move in the court naturally attracted the attention of the people in Yujing City.

From small pubs and teahouses to large wealthy families' backyards, everyone is talking about it.

Soon, the crime of Shen Yanzhou being executed along with his entire clan was exposed.

Secretly keeping the dragon robe!

When ordinary people heard this, they became even more excited.

Everyone's attention was drawn to the word "dragon robe", and they were arguing about what style the dragon robe was and whether it was embroidered with gold edges.

But those who knew the inside story kept their mouths shut and dared not say more.

A complete scandal.

Iron Clothes Workshop.

Chu Yunzheng was checking the accounts of Tieyifang.

Ever since it clung to the Ninth Prince, the troubles encountered by Tieyifang disappeared overnight, just like snow meeting spring.

This result made Chu Yunzheng even more certain that it was right to cling to the Ninth Prince.

"Brother! Brother!"

Chu Yunge ran quickly and breathlessly into the main room, his face flushed and his brows full of excitement.

"Brother, that's great!"

Seeing Chu Yunge's appearance, Chu Yunzheng frowned slightly, with a hint of blame in his tone.

"Second brother, how many times have I told you this?"

"When encountering problems, you must stay calm!"

"When will you stop being so fussy?"

"hey-hey!"

"Brother, I understand. I will definitely change it next time!"

Chu Yunge was not angry when being scolded by his elder brother. He just smiled and touched the back of his head.

"Brother, Shen Yanzhou and his gang are finished."

"Look at that kid Shen Lin. He was so scared that he peed his pants when he was dragged into the prison."

Chu Yunge laughed heartily with glee.

Thinking of Shen Lin’s arrogance in the past, he was so angry that his teeth were itching.

Now that Shen Lin was imprisoned and would be executed in the autumn, Chu Yunge felt relieved, as if he had eaten a chilled watermelon in the hottest days of summer.

Seeing that Chu Yunzheng didn't look up and kept checking the accounts, Chu Yunge asked complainingly.

"Brother, did you listen to me?"

"Listening?"

"If you have any bad ideas, tell me now!"

"Brother, do you think I can only come up with bad ideas?" Chu Yunge muttered in dissatisfaction.

He seemed to be complaining that his elder brother always looked down on him.

"Well, what do you want this time?"

Chu Yunzheng knew his younger brother's character very well and knew that his purpose today was definitely not just to mock Shen Lin.

Chu Yunge suppressed the smile on his face and spoke seriously.

"Brother, it wasn't just Shen Lin who robbed our Chu family's property."

"Many of the Shen family's followers got a piece of the pie."

"We won't let go and take the opportunity to take it back."

There was a hint of heat and greed in Chu Yunge's eyes.

Although Shen Lin had robbed the family property, he had to return it with interest because of Fang Heng.

After it was returned, it became the property of the royal palace.

The two brothers could only manage it at best, and they didn't have the courage to take it for themselves.

Now, Shen Yanzhou has fallen.

They have the opportunity to take back other industries that were originally taken away.

After hearing his second brother's bad idea, Chu Yunzheng's expression suddenly became serious and he shouted loudly.

He used the harshest tone to teach his troublesome second brother a lesson.

"Second brother, absolutely not!"

"Brother, why not?"

"You are confused!"

"Shen Yanzhou and his group of rebels are now the targets of the entire court."

"I don't know how many people are eyeing the properties seized during the house raids."

"With our tiny arms and legs, are we stronger than them?"

Hearing his elder brother's words, Chu Yunge's eyes showed a hint of loss and unwillingness. He clenched his fists, and his sharp nails pierced into his palms, causing a piercing pain.

"Brother, are we just not going to do anything?"

"of course not!"

Chu Yunzheng shook his head, a hint of ruthlessness in his eyes.

"Taking back the property will offend many people."

"Given the current strength of our Chu family, this is unwise."

"but……"

“It doesn’t mean we won’t do anything.”

"Send all the information we collected recently about the Shen family's crimes to the Dali Temple."

"I want to let those hyenas who covet our Chu family know that our Chu family is not a soft persimmon."

"If you want to attack us, be prepared to pay a heavy price."

Chu Yunzheng's actions seemed bold, but in fact they were carefully calculated.

Grinning without any basis only reveals your weakness to others.

It will only make people think that your Chu family is completely useless and can only do these little tricks.

However, joining the Ninth Prince gave Chu Yunzheng considerable confidence.

A proper grin can scare away many hyenas in the dark.

Most importantly, this move will not offend anyone.

The Chu family is now so weak that it can no longer afford to offend others.

……

There was a flurry of activity in Yujing City.

In addition to the house raids on Shen Yanzhou and his gang, another piece of news quickly overshadowed this case of rebellion.

God will select!

The thirty-six divine generals in the Divine Generals' Palace are a fixed number.

One is not too much and the other is not too little.

Only when the position of God General is vacant will a new God General be selected.

After Chu Xiaoye's death, the news of the selection of the divine generals has been circulating.

The exposure of Lu Zangfeng's identity has left another gap in the vacancies of the God General.
However, there have always been different opinions on how to select them. Now, there is finally a definitive answer.

The emperor issued an order to select the best veteran generals in the army.

For a time, all the veteran generals from north to south were ready to fight.

Those who want to give gifts give gifts, and those who want to build relationships build relationships.

The city of Yujing is bustling with activity.

Gossip in teahouses and restaurants was flying everywhere.

It changes three times a day, which dazzles everyone.

In the quiet room in the backyard of the palace.

Fang Heng ended his several days of contemplation and let out a long breath.

There was a sharp look in his dark eyes.

It's like two sharp swords, reaching straight into the sky.

Fang Heng used his finger as a sword and lightly drew it towards the air.

His lips moved as he let out a low growl.

"Kill Tianye!"

Huangji Poxu Sword, the first move!
The same moves were performed by Fang Heng.

only……

This sword was completely different from the one he used in the ancient temple that day. The difference was as huge as heaven and earth.

The sword energy flew across the sky.

Like silver light, it shuttles between reality and illusion.

Before the sword arrived, it had already torn the void.

The surrounding space was distorted and shattered like a mirror.

If any powerful swordsman from the royal family saw this scene, he would definitely recognize it.

This is the sword intent of the void!

This is the result of Fang Heng's understanding of Taizu's sword energy in the past few days.

Ever since he almost became a Taoist for the first time, Fang Heng has become more cautious.

Although it slowed down the pace of comprehension, it was still worth it.

After several days of hard practice and contemplation, I finally gained something.

"Void Sword Intent, the embryonic form of Sword Intent!"

"It's finally done!"

Fang Heng's eyes suddenly lit up, with a hint of excitement.

Sword intent is the foundation of sword cultivation.

Although the art of sword-wielding is extremely widespread, almost every Taoist tradition has a tradition of sword-wielding.

For example, the Beidou Tiangang Sword of Changqing Temple is an extremely impressive sword-wielding technique.

However, most monks only dabble in it.

Even if one practices the art of wielding a sword, one cannot be called a sword cultivator.

Only by mastering the sword intent can one reach the threshold of sword cultivation.

Sword intent is divided into five levels.

The prototype of sword intent.

The sword intention changes the mind.

The sword intent resonates.

The sword intent takes shape.

And...the sword spirit realm.

Although Fang Heng's Void Sword Intent was only in its embryonic form, it had already revealed its extraordinary mystery.

If outsiders knew about this, they would definitely be dumbfounded.

After a few days, he could develop the rudiments of sword skills?
How upset must those disciples of the Sword Pavilion, who have practiced hard for decades but still cannot cultivate the sword spirit, be?

After finishing sword practice, Fang Heng flipped his right hand and took out a pile of white fragments.

This pile of white fragments are the fragments of the Gengjin Gourd.

On that day, Emperor Yuanchu's sword energy directly exploded the Gengjin Gourd.

Let this precious treasure be shattered on the spot.

Not only the Gengjin Gourd, but also Xu Xuantong and his Sumeru Ring were destroyed by the sword energy, without even a trace left.

Afterwards, Fang Heng collected the fragments of the Gengjin gourd.

"I don't know. The Gengjin Gourd cannot be repaired yet."

Fang Heng sighed, with a hint of regret in his tone.

I collected the fragments, left the quiet room, and went to the study.

Then I saw Yun Menglan, wearing a moon-white long dress, sitting on a chair, looking down and checking something.
The close-fitting long skirt outlines the graceful and delicate figure.

The skirt was not long, tightly covering the knees, revealing a pair of calves as slender as lotus roots, crystal clear.

There was a hint of joy in those gentle eyes.

She was so immersed in joy that she didn't even notice Fang Heng's arrival.

Fang Heng skillfully hugged Yun Menglan's slender waist and asked softly in her ear.

"What are you looking at? Why are you so happy?"

"Ah! Your Highness!"

"You scared me."

Sensing a familiar breath coming from behind her, Yun Menglan quickly calmed down, picked up the gift list on the table, and spoke to Fang Heng.

"Your Highness, this is the gift list for your title of heir king."

"The number of people has increased by 50% compared to the last time the title of Prince was conferred."

"As for the value of the gift, it's three times more."

After hearing Yun Menglan's words, Fang Heng chuckled and hooked the beautiful woman's white chin.

"It turns out that Menglan is still a little money-grubber."

"where?"

"certainly not!"

"I just want to take good care of the palace for you, Your Highness."

Yun Menglan was thin-skinned and couldn't stand Fang Heng's teasing. A faint blush appeared on her pretty face.

"Since you like managing the palace, then from now on, all matters of the palace, big or small, will be managed by you."

"Your Highness, please stop teasing me."

"Now that the palace has no princess, I am reluctantly taking charge."

"When the princess enters the palace, how can it be my turn?"

A hint of gloom flashed in Yun Menglan's eyes.

She is very clear about her identity.

She was originally Ning Fei's personal maid, and was given to Fang Heng as a reward, becoming Fang Heng's concubine.

Although they are close, their identities are not enough to be on stage.

Being a noble concubine is already her best destination.

If he still wants to get more and wants to compete with the future princess for the management of the palace's internal affairs, then even Concubine Ning will not tolerate him.

"Then you take care of the external accounts for me."

"I took over the Chu family's Iron Clothing Workshop. Although I still trust the Chu brothers very much."

"However, I still need you, my bedmate, to help me check."

When Yun Menglan heard that Fang Heng wanted her to manage the store outside, she was immediately delighted.

"Is this...really okay?"

"fine!"

"Brother Chu, do you dare to say no?"

"They know your identity, yet they are still vying to curry your favor."

Yun Menglan couldn't help rolling her eyes after listening to Fang Heng's description of the Chu brothers.

"These two brothers are descendants of divine generals after all. How could they be so spineless?"

"You even want to curry favor with a concubine like me?"

"Haha—that's wrong!"

"The two of them, especially Chu Yunzheng, are particularly aware of the current situation."

"You'll know once you meet them both."

"Let me see the gift list first. Is there anything I should pay attention to?"

Fang Heng picked up the gift list. Yun Menglan lay in Fang Heng's arms, introducing the contents of the gift list to Fang Heng with a smile on her face.

"The prince's gift is a flying sword of rare quality." Yun Menglan introduced it to Fang Heng in a soft voice.

Fang Heng nodded slightly and spoke without comment.

"The prince was patient this time and didn't send another thousand taels of silver."

"The prince is not stupid. If he gives another 1,000 taels of silver, then the Three Lives Stone he gave me before will be given away for nothing, right?"

Yun Menglan chuckled.

"Where is the second prince?"

"The Second Prince gave me an evergreen longevity peach."

"The evergreen peach ripens once every hundred years and can extend your life by twenty years."

"Compared to the Crown Prince, the Second Prince is much more considerate."

Yun Menglan spoke with a smile and said a lot of good things to the second prince.

Compared to the Crown Prince, she has a better impression of the Second Prince.

The two gifts that the Second Prince sent were both treasures related to prolonging life, which were very suitable for Fang Heng and left a good impression on Yun Menglan.

Fang Heng nodded slightly and chuckled.

"Second brother is really thoughtful."

Due to the Ten Deadly Poisons, lifespan is indeed Fang Heng's shortcoming.

There is even an entry on the panel: [died young].

However, the entry [died young] does not have a “+” sign and cannot be upgraded.

Fang Heng had studied this before, and he guessed that the reason why the entry [died young] could not be upgraded was because of...

In essence, it is not that Fang Heng really has a short lifespan.

[Untimely Death] is just a debuff caused by the Ten Deadly Poisons.

If the Ten Deadly Poisons are removed, then the entry [Premature Death] will automatically disappear.

The key lies in the Ten Deadly Poisons, not simply a matter of lifespan.

"Your Highness, please take the Evergreen Longevity Peach quickly." Yun Menglan urged softly.

Fang Heng didn't hesitate and ate the longevity peach directly.

The evergreen longevity peach took his mouth and turned into a warm current, flowing through Fang Heng's limbs and bones.

The warm feeling is like taking a hot spring bath.

It was so comfortable that Fang Heng almost moaned.

He glanced at his own panel.

【Shouyuan: 16/65】

Fang Heng’s lifespan has now exceeded sixty years.

He broke through the bottleneck three times and increased his lifespan by fifteen years.

When he was conferred the title of Prince, the Second Prince gave him the Five Treasures Longevity Pill, which extended his life by ten years.

This time, the evergreen peach can extend your life by twenty years.

In total, his life was extended by forty-five years.

After refining the Evergreen Longevity Peach, Yun Menglan then introduced the gift list to Fang Heng.

"Princess Anyang gave me a Leiyuan Evil Suppression Order!"

When Fang Heng heard about the gift from his fiancée Shang Hongye, he raised his eyebrows.

Leiyuan Evil Suppression Order, this is really a great gift!

The Leiyuan Evil-Suppressing Order is not a magic weapon, but a pass to a secret realm of inheritance.

In the secret realm, there is the inheritance of the Five Thunder Lords.

In ancient times, the Five Thunder Lords were the most powerful thunder masters in Shenzhou, and were known as the greatest thunder cultivator of all time.

Later, an evil god from outside the domain descended upon China, and China fell.

The Five Thunder Lords stepped forward, one man and one thunder, to kill the evil god in the abyss of the earth.

This was also the first time that a cultivator from China successfully suppressed and killed an evil god from outside the territory.

It broke the myth of the invincibility of the evil gods from outside the domain.

Although Wu Lei Tianzun successfully killed the evil god from outside the domain, he himself also suffered serious injuries.

After realizing that his time was running out, he set up a large formation in the abyss.

Transform the Earth Abyss into the Thunder Abyss to suppress the divinity of the evil god.

In addition, he also left his inheritance in Lei Yuan.

He also personally refined nine Leiyuan Evil-Suppressing Orders.

Any cultivator who holds the Leiyuan Evil-Suppressing Order can enter Leiyuan and receive the inheritance.

Lei Yuan usually hides in the void.

Only during thunderstorms would a trace of its aura leak into China.

The cultivator who holds the Leiyuan Evil-Suppressing Order can use this breath to enter the Leiyuan and receive the inheritance.

Anyone who can inherit the Five Thunders Heavenly Lord's legacy is an unrivaled genius and becomes a powerful being.

For example, the founder of the Shenxiao Sect obtained part of the inheritance of the Five Thunder Lords in the Leiyuan, and then established the foundation of the current Shenxiao Sect.

Shang Hongye actually gave him such a valuable gift.

And it’s also a very suitable gift.

Fang Heng felt deeply moved by Shang Hongye's kindness and elegance.

After receiving the Leiyuan Evil Suppression Order, Fang Heng glanced at the gift list and saw the gift from Prime Minister Wu.

"Knife?"

"The Minister of War gave me a knife? Is there anything special about this knife?"

When Fang Heng saw the gift from Prime Minister Wu, a slightly strange look appeared on his face.

Yun Menglan said in a low voice.

"I heard from the steward who delivered the gift to the Prime Minister's residence that this was the sword the Prime Minister wore when he was young. He also instructed that it must be delivered to your Highness."

The words of the Wu Xiang Mansion's steward were incomprehensible.

Fang Heng touched his chin and raised his eyebrows.

"Where's the knife?"

"let me see!"

"The knife is in the treasury. I will have someone fetch it for me right away."

Soon, the servants from the palace brought the sword that Prime Minister Wu had given him.

An ordinary sword.

The quality is not high, and it can barely be considered a rare object.

Fang Heng was not surprised either.

After all, it was the sword that Wu Xiang wore when he was young, so it was acceptable that it was of average quality.

However, it seemed strange no matter how you looked at it that Wu Xiang gave him such a commemorative sword.

Fang Heng picked up the sword, and the next second, the sword intent on the sword suddenly burst out, enveloping Fang Heng.

"Your Highness..."

Yun Menglan exclaimed, a hint of worry in her eyes.

Fortunately, the sword intent on the sword did not have the power to kill, it only enveloped Fang Heng.

In the sword intent, Fang Heng heard the voice of Wu Xiang.

"Your Highness, my daughter Qiushui hasn't had a good meal for more than ten days."

"I only have one daughter, Qiushui. If anything were to happen to her, I would resign my position as Martial Minister and file a complaint before His Majesty, seeking justice."

Wu Xiang's murderous words entered Fang Heng's mind.

The corner of Fang Heng's mouth twitched slightly.

Minister Wu gave him a sword just to say this to him?
As for Shen Qiushui...

"Your Highness!"

"Your Highness!"

Yun Menglan's urgent call woke Fang Heng. Seeing the anxiety on Yun Menglan's pretty face, Fang Heng gave her a comforting look.

"I'm fine!"

"The Minister of War's sword?"

"Nothing. Minister Wu saw that I was a potential swordsman and wanted to teach me swordsmanship, but it was difficult to teach openly, so he used this roundabout way to teach me swordsmanship."

Yun Menglan: ???

When did Your Highness start practicing swordsmanship?

However, seeing that Fang Heng was fine, Yun Menglan didn't think much about it.

The two of them spent an hour looking through all the gifts on the gift list.

……

Prime Minister Wu's Mansion.

"I'm stuffed!"

Shen Qiu Shui put down his chopsticks and spoke weakly.

Wu Xiang and Shen Yinhu looked at each other with helpless expressions.

Shen Qiu Shui's listless state has lasted for more than ten days.

Their hearts were filled with worry.

"Little sister, eat a few more bites."

"This is what your father asked the chef to make specially for you..."

"No need, brother. I'm full."

"I'm going back to my room first."

Having said that, Shen Qiu Shui stood up and went back to his room, leaving Wu Xiang and the other man looking at each other in bewilderment.

Shen Yinhu noticed the anger hidden in his father's body, realized that something was wrong, and quickly spoke.

"Dad, I'll go and persuade my little sister again..."

Without waiting for Shen Yinhu to finish his words, Wu Xiang glared at him and spoke unhappily.

"Go to the ancestral hall and ask for advice on the stick!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Yinhu's face turned pale.

He was a lieutenant general of the Tiger Guards, but at this moment, he was as weak and helpless as a little girl.

In the boudoir.

Shen Qiu Shui leaned listlessly on the bed, a pair of pink and delicate feet revealed from under the quilt.

Qin Yin, the personal maid, was serving by the side and complaining quietly.

"His Highness the Ninth Prince is also a heartless man. He hasn't even come to visit you, young lady, for so many days."

Hearing Qin Yin's muttering, Shen Qiu Shui spoke weakly.

"Your Highness the Ninth Prince and I are not related. What reason do you have to come and visit me?"

Qin Yin suddenly became anxious when she heard Shen Qiu Shui's words.

"How can we not be related?"

"Miss, your feet have been played with by His Majesty the Ninth Prince. He must be held responsible."

Hearing Qin Yin's words, Shen Qiu Shui's pretty face immediately turned red, as beautiful as peach blossoms in February.

"Qin Yin, what are you talking about?"

"What are you playing with?"

"Your Highness, he is healing me."

"I see, Miss. It's for healing."

"I will never say anything nonsense in front of the master and the second young master."

Shen Qiu Shui was speechless for a while.

Qinyin, do you mean that you can say whatever you want in front of me?

Shen Qiu Shui glared at Qin Yin angrily.

Qin Yin was not afraid and argued with reason.

"Miss, I'm doing this for your happiness!"

"You can't find a maid as loyal as me even with a lantern."

"I learned from the servants in the palace that although His Highness the Ninth Prince has been plagued by poison since childhood, his health has actually been very strong since he entered the Dao."

"It is said that the concubine in the palace was always so badly played that she couldn't get up until noon the next day."

"When the time comes, young lady, you will definitely not be able to bear it. I will help you and share the heavy responsibility!"

Hearing the increasingly chaotic sound of the piano, Shen Qiu Shui could no longer hold back and became angry and embarrassed.

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

"What is unbearable, what is sharing the burden?"

"Your Highness the Ninth Prince and I are innocent and have no such relationship."

"Besides, His Highness the Ninth Prince has been busy with the Zhou Jueyin case recently. He must be extremely busy and exhausted, so..."

As she spoke, Shen Qiu Shui's voice became weaker, as light as a mosquito's whisper.

At this moment, the maid's voice came from outside.

"Miss, someone sent me a storybook, saying it was from the Ninth Prince."

Ninth Prince?
Upon hearing these three words, Shen Qiu Shui, who had just looked listless, suddenly became energetic.

"Show me quickly!"

Qin Yin saw Shen Qiu Shui's anxious look, patted her forehead, and sighed in her heart.

Hopeless!
The lady is being completely taken advantage of by His Highness!

There is no possibility of turning things around in this life!
The maid outside brought a storybook.

It is the most popular "Legend of Female Hero Shen" in Yujing City today.

The Legend of Lady Shen?

Shen Qiu Shui was stunned for a moment. Why did His Highness give me the Biography of Female Hero Shen?
Doesn’t he know that I wrote the Biography of Miss Shen?
Shen Qiu Shui began to wonder in his heart.

With slender jade fingers, she opened the storybook.

Then, the content of the story made her smile with joy.

It turns out that the cover of the storybook is the cover of The Legend of Lady Shen.

But the content inside is the story of Sun Wukong.

For a moment, Shen Qiu Shui was fascinated by what he saw.

Qin Yin saw a big smile on the young lady's lips, and she immediately sat down on the chair with her head facing the sky, looking listless.

Ruined!
The lady is beyond help!
I heard that the Ninth Prince is very strong and the young lady is weak and delicate, so she will definitely not be able to withstand it.

I won’t suffer too!

Qinyin's thoughts had long since flown away to the sky.

After Shen Qiu Shui finished reading the latest episode of Journey to the West, he turned to the last page.

The content on the last page made her slightly stunned.

Patriarch Bodhi knocked on Sun Wukong's head three times.

Shen Qiu Shui pondered for a while, thought carefully, and immediately understood what Fang Heng meant.

At three o'clock in the morning, we met secretly.

"Qin Yin, what time is it now?" Shen Qiu Shui asked.

"Miss, I'll go check it out."

Qinyin got up, went out to check the time, and quickly returned to the house and said.

"Miss, it's already 2:40."

"It's so late!"

Shen Qiu Shui exclaimed, and a trace of panic appeared on her pure and pretty face.

"Miss, it's late, it's time to go to bed..."

Qinyin was halfway through her words when the second half got stuck in her throat because of the scene she saw.

Shen Qiu Shui got up in a hurry, ran to the bronze mirror and started looking at himself.

"Qin Yin, can you help me check if my hair is messy?"

"Also, take out the white dress I wore on my birthday this year and let me change into it."

"Open a new box of rouge and powder..."

In the middle of the night, Qinyin was stunned to see the young lady dressed up and even putting on makeup.

Miss, what are you doing?
It’s almost three o’clock in the morning!

Shen Qiu Shui saw Qin Yin standing there in a daze and stomped her feet in anger.

"What are you still doing?"

"Come and help me!"

"Oh—I see, miss!"

Qin Yin expertly dressed Shen Qiu Shui. Seeing the pretty and stunning young lady in the bronze mirror, Qin Yin couldn't help but be curious and asked:

"Miss, are you planning to go out?"

"if not?"

"Who dresses up before going to bed?"

"But...it's already three in the morning, this isn't appropriate."

Qin Yin's tone was hesitant.

She was not stupid. Seeing the young lady's abnormal state, she thought of the script given to her by the Ninth Prince.

I immediately understood that the young lady was going to have a tryst with the Ninth Prince.

only……

The young lady is so bold. What will happen if the master finds out?

Given the master's temper, would he demolish the Ninth Prince's palace?
"What's wrong with that?" Shen Qiu Shui asked subconsciously.

"Master's side..."

Shen Qiu Shui paused for a moment, but quickly resumed her makeup, looking as if nothing had happened.

"I'll leave secretly, Dad won't find out."

Qin Yin: ...

It is said that a woman who falls in love becomes stupid.

She finally saw it today.

The master is a martial arts master of the twelfth realm.

Miss, you left home secretly, how could the master not notice?

Soon, Shen Qiu Shui finished dressing up.

If Shen Yinhu saw this scene, he would be shocked.

My younger sister was dressed even more formally than at the birthday party.

"Qin Yin, I'm leaving. You cover for me."

As he spoke, Shen Qiu Shui ignored Qin Yin's expression as if she didn't want to live anymore and quietly slipped out through the back door.

The night was dark.

Wu Xiang, who had just finished teaching his son, was not sleepy at all.

Looking at Shen Qiu Shui sneaking out from the back door, he sighed.

Gulu gulu!

The wheels rolled on the bluestone slabs, making a low sound.

The third watch.

The palace's carriage appeared on the street behind the Wu Xiang Mansion on time.

As for whether he would be discovered by the Prime Minister?

Fang Heng was not worried at all.

What about discovery?
It's nothing more than Wu Xiang himself being embarrassed.

Soon, Fang Heng saw Shen Qiu Shui sneaking out from the back door.

Under the moonlight, Shen Qiu Shui was wearing a white robe with fluttering sleeves, just like the bright moon in the night sky.

A light blue ribbon around her waist perfectly accentuated her slender waist.

Shen Qiu Shui has dressed up carefully tonight.

It's like a fresh, elegant and pure lily.

"Your Highness!"

Shen Qiu Shui exclaimed softly.

The voice was soft, but it was filled with a hint of surprise.

"Qiu Shui, it's freezing and snowy, why are you wearing so little?"

Fang Heng's tone was mixed with a hint of blame. He took off his cloak and put it on Shen Qiu Shui.

Shen Qiu Shui was not angry at all about Fang Heng's rebuke, but instead kept giggling.

The laughter like silver bells echoed in the night.

"Get on the carriage first!"

Fang Heng took Shen Qiu Shui and boarded the carriage.

At this moment, Fang Heng suddenly understood why the rich second generation liked luxury cars.

Because it’s really useful.

Shen Qiu Shui was the third woman to sit in the carriage given to him by his second brother.

Shen Qiu Shui's hand was held by Fang Heng, and a hint of embarrassment appeared on her pretty face.

Does this count as me betraying Sister Hongye?
A private meeting with His Highness?
Feel……

So exciting!
……

Shang Mansion.

It was late at night, but the lights were still bright.

"Uncle San, what's the current situation regarding the fight for the position of Divine General?"

Shang Hongye's face was somewhat solemn as he gathered information from all sides.

Two new generals will soon appear in the General's Mansion.

This matter touched the hearts of everyone in Yujing City, including Shang Hongye.

Each of the thirty-six divine generals of the Great Thirty-sixth Heavenly King holds a pivotal position.

"Miss, it seems that nine people have been nominated by the Divine General's Mansion."

Not every general is qualified to compete in the selection of divine generals.

If you want to participate in the competition, you must be nominated by the Godly General's Mansion.

How to get nominated.

It's easy to say it's easy, but it's hard to say it's difficult.

Received recommendation from two divine generals.

"Among them, Wang Fuzhi, Gu Yunhe and Cui Heng are the most popular," Huo Yunting said.

These three people are all veteran generals in the army and descendants of the twenty-four heroes of Yuntai Pavilion. Their network of relationships in Yujing is unfathomable.

Among them, Wang Fuzhi himself is a martial arts expert of the tenth realm. His strength stands out among all the candidates, and he has the highest voice to become a divine general.

"What about Lu Zilong?"

Shang Hongye changed the subject and asked.

Hearing this, Huo Yunting looked at Shang Hongye deeply, with a profound meaning in his eyes.

"Lu Zilong has been using his connections these days."

"However, the Lu family hasn't produced a divine general in three generations."

"Among the lower-level officers, he still has considerable prestige, but at the level of the God Generals, he is basically out of reach."

Hearing this, Shang Hongye showed a hint of surprise on her pretty face.

She seemed to be lamenting that the decline of the Lu family was far beyond her expectations.

"I remember that Xiao Yi owed His Majesty the Ninth Prince a favor."

"indeed so."

"Your Highness the Ninth Prince helped Xiao Yi a lot in the Plum Garden case."

"If His Majesty the Ninth Prince were to speak, Xiao Yi would naturally recommend Lu Zilong."

"However, Xiao Yi alone is not enough, we still need a future god to nominate."

Shang Hongye pondered for a moment, seemed to have made some kind of decision, and spoke in a firm tone.

"Let Xiao Lie nominate Lu Zilong."

When Huo Yunting heard Shang Hongye's decision, he was shocked and his heart was in turmoil.

Xiao Lie, one of the thirty-six divine generals, is the hidden man of their Zhenbei King lineage in Yujing City.

Back then, the King of Zhenbei had done Xiao Lie a favor, but this matter was extremely secretive and only a handful of people knew about it.

Over the years, Xiao Lie has been in Yujing City.

Apart from the regular transmission of information, there was no other action.

After all, it takes a huge amount of effort and resources to train a hidden player at the level of a god general.

Unexpectedly, the young lady actually wanted to use Xiao Lie.

"Miss, this is inappropriate!"

"What's inappropriate?"

"I've investigated Lu Zilong. He's a good commander of the army and has a pretty good talent in martial arts."

"It's a pity that he was born at the wrong time. The current Lu family can't give him enough support."

"If he had been born a hundred years earlier, his achievements would have been far greater than this."

"I'm selecting talents for the imperial court."

"Of course, it's also for the benefit of our Zhenbei Palace."

"I helped him today, and Lu Zilong will definitely remember this favor in his heart."

Shang Hongye raised his heroic eyebrows, not caring at all, and spoke confidently.

Her decision was made out of public interest, without any selfish motives.

Seeing Shang Hongye like this, Huo Yunting couldn't help laughing.

After holding it in for a while, he finally couldn't hold it in anymore and laughed out loud.

It turns out that the young lady also has a duplicity side.

There are a lot of big reasons, but in fact, there is only one reason.

Lu Zilong is Fang Heng's uncle.

That's it.

Hearing the teasing and ridicule in Huo Yunting's laughter, Shang Hongye's pretty face turned slightly red and she glared at Huo Yunting.

"Uncle San, what's so funny?"

"No!"

"I'm not laughing!"

"I really didn't laugh!"

"Hahaha--"

"Miss, if you're thinking about His Highness the Ninth Prince, just say it directly. There's no need to make so many excuses."

Huo Yunting's laughter became more and more hearty.

He had never seen the young lady so shy and embarrassed.

"Uncle San, don't talk nonsense!"

"This matter has nothing to do with His Majesty the Ninth Prince."

"Really?"

"I, Shang Hongye, never bother to tell lies."

Shang Hongye took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and spoke in an affirmative tone.

In Huo Yunting's eyes, her statement was not convincing at all.

"I see!"

"Miss, I understand everything you're thinking!"

Huo Yunting said this, but the expression on his face said, "I understand everything."

"Uncle San, you don't understand!"

"I asked Xiao Lie to recommend General Lu out of public interest, and it has nothing to do with His Highness Fang." Shang Hongye defended himself.

But in Huo Yunting's opinion, it was all just specious arguments.

"What about the Leiyuan Evil Suppression Order?"

"The prince paid a huge price to trade for the Leiyuan Evil Suppression Order."

"Your Highness has a remarkable talent in thunder magic, and the Thunder Abyss Evil Suppression Order is a perfect way to put it to good use."

"Besides, it will take more than a few months for His Highness to go to the Thunder Prison to receive the inheritance."

"Maybe it will take half a year before it comes out."

"The current situation in the court is very complex and treacherous."

"The Crown Prince has lost power, and the Second Prince's ambitions are clear. He will definitely launch an offensive against the Crown Prince's faction."

"Going to Leiyuan at this time is just the right time to avoid the most intense struggle."

"This is also for the sake of our Zhenbei Palace."

"Given our current situation, it's not appropriate for us to get too deeply involved in the fight for the throne."

Shang Hongye said seriously.

"Really? That's it?" Huo Yunting looked completely unconvinced.

"And...thank you, Your Highness."

"If it weren't for Your Highness, I'd probably still be fooled by Zhou Jueyin!"

Huo Yunting rolled his eyes inwardly when he heard Shang Hongye's words.

He had never imagined that the young lady could be so stubborn.

"My lady, you are so considerate of His Highness and paving the way for him."

"Perhaps His Highness is now enjoying himself with his beautiful maid."

"Miss, you don't care?"

Shang Hongye's face froze, he took a deep breath, and said lightly.

"She's just a personal maid, all princes are like that."

"Compared to the Crown Prince and others, Your Highness is considered to be clean and self-disciplined."

"Besides, a personal maid can't threaten my position at all."

Shang Hongye acted as if he didn't care.

She had often heard about the lives of the princes.

There are three thousand beauties in the Eastern Palace, so much so that the Crown Princess has not tasted chicken for three months.

Although the second prince was not as lustful as the crown prince, he already had eighteen concubines at such a young age.

As for the third prince, he lingered in the world of prostitution and was the patron of countless courtesans.

As for the Sixth Prince, it is even more ridiculous.

A temporary palace was built outside Yujing City, specifically for pleasure.

The women inside were dressed in rags or were even naked.

Not only are there courtesans, but there are even wives and daughters of officials.

The filth inside is unbearable to look at.

In comparison, Fang Heng only has one personal maid, so he can be considered to be keeping himself clean.

After a moment of silence, Huo Yunting slowly spoke to Shang Hongye.

"Miss, do you know that your words are harder than your sword?"

After saying that, he saw Shang Hongye about to draw his sword and kill someone.

Huo Yunting disappeared in the study in a flash.

When he left, he was still mumbling.

"You can't stay in college if you're a female student!"
