Chapter 199: The Second Tree Made New Contributions [Additional Update for "Big Brother Qiu" Silver Alliance]
Old Yao was quickly surrounded by the palace guards.
People are stupid.
How did he become a traitor when he didn't say a word?
What are the young people like nowadays? Mr. Yao didn't react at all.
But Ying Hongye was already dying, but she still bravely stood in front of the bed of Ying III.
"Mr. Yao, even if you threaten me and my father's life, I will never give in. As descendants of the Ying family, we will never negotiate with any traitors, forever!"
This is called the husband singing and the wife following.
As soon as Ji Changsheng said that the young master of Tiansheng Sect would not do business with any criminals, Ying Hongye followed suit.
Mr. Yao finally reacted.
Then...I felt even more numb.
"It wasn't me."
The commander of the Imperial Guards, Zuo Ruoshui, looked at Elder Yao warily, not disguising his murderous intent and threats: "Elder Yao, if you make the slightest move, don't blame me for being rude."
Zuo Ruoshui, the first female war god of Ying State after General Fan.
Because he was born after Emperor Ying was defeated, Zuo Ruoshui did not have many glorious records of killing generals and capturing flags.
She just had a conflict with the sworn brother of the ruler of Wan Yao Kingdom during a joint military exercise between Ying Kingdom and Wan Yao Kingdom, and then in anger she led her personal guards to kill the sworn brother of the ruler of Wan Yao Kingdom.
The sworn brother of the King of Ten Thousand Demons is at the peak of the Mahayana realm, half a step away from overcoming the tribulation.
From then on, Zuo Ruoshui became famous throughout the world.
The Wan Yao Kingdom once used this as an excuse to launch an attack on the Ying Kingdom, but was stopped by Ying III, so Zuo Ruoshui was considered to be Ying III's most trusted confidant.
She was not originally the commander of the imperial guards, but led a large army outside.
After Emperor Ying III was assassinated, two people were immediately placed under house arrest - the head of the Secret Law Pavilion and the former commander of the Imperial Guards.
Zuo Ruoshui was urgently ordered back to the capital by Emperor Ying III to temporarily lead the imperial guards, which meant that Emperor Ying III entrusted his life to her at the critical moment of life and death.
With such an important trust, Zuo Ruoshui certainly wouldn't dare to neglect it.
Hearing Ying Hongye's cry for help, Zuo Ruoshui rushed over immediately and immediately blocked Ying Hongye and Ying Sanshi behind him.
Even when facing the former Fire Seed hero, Zuo Ruoshui directly took out the silver spear in his hand.
Yao Rengang had a lot to say, but in the end he could only smile bitterly: "Xiao Ye Zi, I watched you grow up, how did you become like this?"
Ying Hongye was not moved at all, and still bravely protected her father, not daring to retreat even a single step.
"Grandpa Yao, I am no longer the same person I used to be."
The truth.
Senior Brother Cao has only been with Changsheng for a few days, but he has grown so fast.
Ying Hongye has been following Changsheng since Xuandu Temple.
After such a long period of influence, Ying Hongye certainly would not have learned nothing.
As the saying goes, "Birds of a feather flock together." Ying Hongye has a very fast learning ability, but she is just embarrassed to use it.
But now we have to take emergency measures.
"The descendants of the Ying family would rather die in glory than live in disgrace. Don't even think about forcing me with force. Elder Yao, if you want to achieve your goal, you have to step over my corpse."
Ying Hongye's oath moved the imperial guards led by Zuo Ruoshui.
They haven't seen such a brave royal bloodline for many years.
Zuo Ruoshui said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, you protect His Majesty. Elder Yao, I am here, and nothing will happen to His Majesty or Your Highness today. I know a thing or two about the outside world. Young Master Ji wants to attack the merchants, which is indeed against the laws of the Ying Kingdom, but it has nothing to do with the Imperial Guards."
The spear in Zuo Ruoshui's hand was like a dragon, really like a dragon, and a dragon-shaped shadow was already hovering at the tip of her spear: "I don't care what Elder Yao does outside the palace. In the palace, even if you are a Fire Seed Meritorious Service, you are not allowed to act recklessly."
Yao Rengang sighed to the sky: "Xiao Ye Zi, you are deliberately condoning Ji Changsheng to kill the Fire Seed Meritorious Officers. Do you want to be the empress?"
Ying Hongye did not explain first, but just opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood. His face was as pale as gold paper and he was dying.
Seeing this, Zuo Ruoshui's murderous intent became stronger: "Old Yao, be careful with your words. I know that before His Majesty fell into a coma, he said that if he could not wake up, the new emperor would be decided by a vote of the old ministers of Huozhong. If Your Highness wants to be the empress, he should be on good terms with you instead of confronting you."
Yao Rengang: “…”
Ying Hongye coughed twice, her voice full of tears, and then she spoke: "The innocent are innocent, Elder Yao, I am very disappointed in you and your Spark. I didn't expect that the Spark is really like Changsheng said, it has become a rotten skeleton that has lived on the merits of three generations, and has become a coward who relies on his so-called merits to bully others with his age."
"Xiao Ye Zi, you..." Yao Rengang's face flushed: "You have been possessed by a demon."
"Report, Prince Duan has arrived."
Prince Duan is the title of the second prince.
Among the three princes, only the eldest prince was not made king because he was too close to the Tongtian Chamber of Commerce and the Wan Yao Kingdom.
The second prince and the third prince were both crowned kings when they reached adulthood.
Including Ying Hongye, who is also a genuine princess of the Ying Kingdom.
Before Prince Duan arrived, a voice had already come over: "Hongye, what's wrong with you? How can you go to war against Elder Yao?"
Zuo Ruoshui's face was as heavy as water.
Ying Hongye sneered and said, "Grandpa Yao, it seems that the new ruler that Huozhong's old minister has chosen has arrived."
"I……"
Yao Rengang was speechless after being hit by this series of punches.
"General Zuo, if a prince colluded with the Fire Seed Meritorious Officials to rebel, would you be willing to join me in suppressing the rebellion?"
Zuo Ruoshui did not hesitate: "I will follow your majesty till death, and I will follow your highness till death."
Before Emperor Ying III fell into a coma, he handed over the defense of the palace to her.
The investigation was handed over to Ying Hongye.
It is to enable them to work together.
"Okay, General Zuo is loyal and courageous."
Ying Hongye wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and restored the dignity that a princess should have: "Grandpa Yao, since you are here, you don't have to leave for the time being."
In front of Yao Rengang and Zuo Ruoshui, Ying Hongye sent a message to Ji Changsheng: "Changsheng, one of the old ministers of Huozhan, Yao Lao, broke into the palace at night and threatened the lives of me and His Majesty, forcing me to persuade you to give in. I refused on the spot and was seriously injured. Fortunately, I was protected by General Zuo of the Imperial Guards and I am safe for the time being.
“Changsheng, just focus on your work outside the palace.
“If you have any trouble outside the palace and find that I have died in battle, then avenge me.
"As descendants of the Ying family, we will not negotiate with any traitors or villains. We would rather die with honor than live in disgrace."
Outside the business door.
Ji Changsheng was furious when he received the news: "Shang Fuqing, General Fan, you Fire Seeds are simply unscrupulous. If you want to die, I will grant your wish!"
The colorful sword energy once again filled the entire venue.
"Wait, there must be a misunderstanding."
"Old Yao would never be so impulsive."
Ji Changsheng thought that someone with the surname Yao would definitely not be so impulsive.
But Hongye learned bad things from me.
Ji Changsheng was very worried. After all, Hongye didn't know any illusions, so she was sure that she would give him a severe blow.
Alas, Hongye is still too kind.
The effect of your attack on Ying III will be much better than that of attacking yourself.
Need to continue learning.
He also needs to speed up the process.
"General Fan, if you don't get out of the way, you will die with Shang Fuqing."
Ji Changsheng took action brazenly.
…
At the same time.
The second prince came to the bedroom.
Seeing such a tense situation, he was a little stunned.
"Hongye, what happened?"
Ying Hongye didn't answer him at all.
The dragon-shaped shadow at the tip of Zuo Ruoshui's gun had become increasingly solid, with an aura close to that of the Tribulation Realm, filling the entire room.
Although Yao Rengang's strength should not be underestimated, he has not reached the Tribulation Realm.
In the home court of the Ying Kingdom's palace, he had no confidence at all to defeat Zuo Ruoshui, not to mention that Zuo Ruoshui was in command of the capital's theoretically most elite imperial guards.
After hesitating for a moment, Yao Rengang took a decisive step back.
"Xiao Ye Zi, since you have made up your mind, I will not force you. I came here because my old friend asked me to do this. There is no need to resort to violence. This matter ends here."
Upon hearing this, Ying Hongye's tense heart finally relaxed a little.
She doesn't have the confidence of the Linglong Jade Sword.
Of course it would be best if Yao Rengang could take a step back.
"Mr. Yao, please go to the side hall and sit quietly. General Zuo, please guard it yourself." Ying Hongye said, "Tonight, I hope Mr. Yao can stay quietly in the palace."
Zuo Ruoshui glanced at the second prince.
Ying Hongye said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, there are imperial guards outside. Do you think my second brother dares to kill me to silence me?"
Zuo Ruoshui was convinced.
"Mr. Yao, please."
Yao Rengang looked at Ying Hongye again and said with emotion: "A new generation replaces the old. Xiaoye, you are very good, but you are too impatient. In everything, too much is as bad as too little."
Shaking his head, Yao Rengang walked towards the side hall.
The second prince's eyes flickered, and he spoke again: "Hongye, you should be more polite to a Fire Seed Meritorious Person like Elder Yao. Your attitude is too rude."
Ying Hongye stared at the Second Prince quietly, and the voice of the report rang in his ears again:
"Report, the Queen has arrived."
Ying Hongye said directly: "No."
"Hongye, are you going to turn away even my mother?"
The Queen rushed in directly.
"I heard that you had a conflict with Elder Yao in your father's bedroom. What happened? Elder Yao watched you grow up. Hongye, why are you so rude now?"
Ying Hongye's eyes flashed slightly.
Then she waved her hand, signaling all the guards and maids in the palace to leave, and then she said in a deep voice: "Mother, the emperor was assassinated and is unconscious. The emperor has entrusted me with the investigation of this matter. You and second brother are still suspected and should avoid suspicion. It is not good for both of you to appear here."
The Queen Mother frowned and said, "Hongye, you even doubt the Queen Mother?"
Ying Hongye was very calm: "Before Changsheng gives the results of the investigation, you are all suspects except me."
The Queen was instantly furious: "Ji Changsheng killed the eldest and third brothers, they were both your biological brothers."
They are all her own sons.
Any mother would not tolerate such a thing.
Ying Hongye understood the Queen’s current excitement very well.
She kindly reminded him, "Mother, you'd better not bear any grudge against Changsheng. Changsheng must have had his reasons for killing people. If you want to take revenge on him... I don't want to be a motherless child."
The Queen was completely furious: "Hongye, for a man, you don't want your brother? You don't want your mother? Are you crazy?"
Ying Hongye said calmly: "This man is helping me do things, helping me kill people, helping me to advance my cultivation, and helping me realize my long-cherished wish. But my brother, my mother, forced me to leave my hometown. Mother, you favor sons over daughters, I don't blame you. I am in love, don't blame me. In the final analysis, every action has its effect. I can tell who is really good to me and who is just good to me in words."
After meeting Ji Changsheng, Ying Hongye has evolved.
Things like blood ties can only bind her a few days ago.
Isn't the Empress attractive? Besides, Changsheng has already been killed, the matter is done.
If you don't stand up for your man, are you going to blame him?
Ying Hongye even wanted to mock her mother and second brother, thinking to herself, do you think I'm stupid?
If I stand by your side, I will probably become the empress of Ying Kingdom soon. What can I get by standing by you?
Both publicly and privately, as long as Ying Hongye's IQ is up, he will have no other choice.
Unfortunately, ever since meeting Ji Changsheng, Ying Hongye's IQ has never dropped even though she is in love.
The Second Prince stopped the furious Queen and said something that stunned Ying Hongye: "Hongye, I heard that before you returned to Ying State, you and Ji Changsheng went back to Xuandu Temple first? And you got the life-extending elixir from Master Mu."
Ying Hongye looked at the second prince in shock.
"Since you have already obtained the life-extending elixir, why don't you give it to your father?"
Ying Hongye's brain was working rapidly.
The second prince knew that she went to Xuandu Temple with Changsheng.
Knowing that she got the life-extending elixir from the temple master.
I also know that she didn't use it on Ying III.
She could understand the first point.
How did the second and third prince do it? Ying Hongye glanced at the second prince, at the unconscious Ying III, and then at the skeptical queen. In the end, she actually saw nothing.
But she flew into a rage.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
"Second brother, you are indeed the Yellow Springs demon."
The Second Prince and the Queen were both stunned.
Aren't we talking about the life-extending golden elixir? Why did it suddenly jump to the head of the Yellow Spring Demon? "Mother, have you also been bewitched by my second brother, the Yellow Spring Demon? Or have you, like my second brother, defected to the Yellow Spring Sect?"
The Queen was so angry that she laughed: "Hongye, do you know who you are talking to?"
"Of course it's with mother. I have absolute evidence that my second brother is the Yellow Springs demon."
"evidence?"
Seeing her daughter speak so confidently, the Queen Mother subconsciously believed it a little.
"What evidence?"
"Before I returned to Ying State, a righteous man around my second brother reported that my second brother was secretly close to the Huangquan Sect, and that there was a Huangquan Sect token hidden in his mansion."
"Buried under the second tree in the backyard, right?" The second prince said sarcastically, "Hongye, stop talking nonsense. Ji Changsheng went on a killing spree in the capital tonight. My eldest brother and third brother were both killed by him unjustly. But his tricks won't work on me."
Ying Hongye thought to herself, I don’t think so.
"Second brother, if you are truly innocent, would you be willing to let my mother and I investigate personally?"
"No need." The second prince's tone became more sarcastic: "Hongye, you may have been away for too long and forgot one thing - there are no trees planted in my backyard."
The Queen nodded and said, "That's right, Hongye, don't slander your second brother. I think you have been led astray by Ji Changsheng."
Ying Hongye glanced at her mother and thought to herself, Mother, I have already advised you, why are you still leaking secrets?
If I really become a motherless child, you will take full responsibility.
"Mother, you don't understand."
Ying Hongye didn't have much affection for her three brothers, but she still had feelings for her parents. If possible, she still wanted to save the relationship.
"You know too little about cultivation. The Huangquan Sect's skills are strange and unpredictable. Although there are no trees on the second brother's mansion, they are actually the trees of the underworld. They cannot be seen during the day. Only on a dark and windy night, using a special technique of looking at the air, can you see the trees of the underworld planted in the second brother's mansion. If the queen mother doesn't believe it, let's go and verify it together, and we can prove that everything I said is true."
Ying Hongye's confident words softened the Queen's attitude a little.
"Hongye, are you serious?"
"Of course it's true. If the second brother has nothing to hide, he won't be afraid to prove his innocence."
"Of course I have nothing to hide."
"Then let's search your mansion."
"Investigate if you want. I am upright and I am not afraid of my own shadow. How can I be afraid of you?"
"Okay, let's go now."
Following Ji Changsheng, Ying Hongye also learned to be decisive and swift.
Ten minutes later, Ying Hongye and the Queen arrived at the Second Prince's residence.
I happened to meet Ji Changsheng and his group.
At this time, blood was still dripping from the jade sword in Ji Changsheng's hand, and the golden lotus of merit above his head had dimmed.
This was the first time Ji Changsheng killed someone, and his merits and virtues decreased instead of increasing.
When Ying Hongye saw the dim merits above Ji Changsheng’s head, her heart suddenly felt warm.
Changsheng would kill people for my sake without asking for any benefit.
When the others saw the dim golden lotus of merit above Ji Changsheng's head and the jade sword in his hand dripping with blood, they felt a chill in their hearts.
The second prince's expression suddenly changed: "Ji Changsheng, where is Mr. Shang? And where is General Fan?"
Ji Changsheng told the truth: "I am a kind person, and I helped Mr. Shang and his family to reunite."
At this time, Shang Fuqing's three souls and seven spirits were already in place at the Wanmin Umbrella Seat.
The soul of a great monk in the Tribulation Realm is a great tonic for Wanmin Umbrella.
Ji Changsheng clearly felt that the grade of the Wanmin Umbrella was undergoing a qualitative change.
"As for General Fan, I've already told her that if she stops me again I'll kill someone, but she still insisted on stopping me." Ji Changsheng shook his head and said helplessly, "Good words can't persuade a damned ghost, and great mercy doesn't save people who have killed themselves. I didn't want to kill her, but she asked for death herself, who can I blame?"
"General Fan only went to stop a fight, but you killed her too. Are you still human?" The second prince was quite emotional.
Ji Changsheng expressed his understanding: "Shang Fuqing and General Fan both said before they died that you, the Second Prince, are the candidate for the new emperor that the Fire Seed Meritorious Service wants."
Everyone looked at Ji Changsheng in shock.
Including Ying Hongye.
She doesn't know about this either.
It also includes Marshal Li Xiangzhang and Yue Qingzhao and others.
They were just outside the store.
Although they were far away from the battlefield, they all had good hearing. Why didn't they hear the last words of Shang Fuqing and General Fan?
Ji Changsheng was too lazy to explain and just told the truth: "General Fan repented before her death. She reflected on herself that she was a dead skeleton in a tomb, jealous of talented people, corrupt and decadent. She should have given up her position and given more opportunities to young people. It was only because Prince Duan tempted her with the Huangquan magic to be immortal after death that she did all these perverse things. General Fan regretted it very much. Her only hope before her death was for me to expose your true face as a Huangquan magician. A dying man speaks well. I must fulfill General Fan's dying wish. Prince Duan, you are in trouble."
Ying Hongye's eyes lit up.
I feel more and more that Changsheng and I are truly a match made in heaven.
The second prince trembled all over: "Ji Changsheng, the people are dead, it's up to you to say it."
Ji Changsheng patiently explained: "Of course I won't speak nonsense. General Fan said that the evidence that you are the Yellow Springs demon is buried under the second tree in your backyard."
The second prince pointed at Ji Changsheng, then at Ying Hongye, and gnashed his teeth in anger: "Okay, you two are a pair of dogs and bitches, working together in cahoots. But it's not that easy to frame me."
The second prince took out a face.
"The mirror of truth."
"The Fire Seed is similar to the Magic Mirror, a magical tool for fighting counterfeiting."
"Under the Jianzhen mirror, all evil spirits are exposed."
The second prince held the Jianzhen Mirror in his hand and sneered, "Ji Changsheng, there is no tree planted in my backyard, let alone a second tree. Aren't you looking for evidence? Let's go and see your so-called evidence. Today I will definitely expose your hypocritical true face of the demon sect monster in front of everyone. I know that you are good at illusions, and I also know how you dealt with my eldest brother and third brother. I have been waiting for you here for a long time."
Ying Hongye's expression changed slightly.
But Ji Changsheng chuckled: "Prince Duan, if you don't want others to know, then don't do it. The fire can help you hide your traces, but it is not foolproof. You can't hide it from Ji's discerning eyes."
The second prince sneered: "Under the Jianzhen mirror, all illusions are exposed. I wonder how long you can keep pretending?"
Ji Changsheng looked at Li Changxi beside him.
Li Changxi shrugged: "Don't worry, Junior Brother, with me here, you can pretend until the end of time."
So Ji Changsheng laughed even more happily.
Jianzhen Mirror? I couldn't even notice my wife was standing next to me. I was so scared.
Not to mention the Jianzhen Mirror, even if it’s a magic mirror, what can it do?
Ji Changsheng had witnessed Li Changxi's battle record with his own eyes.
So three minutes later.
The backyard of Prince Duan’s Mansion.
Under Ji Changsheng's magic, the two pitch-black dark trees gradually revealed their "true identities" and were exposed to everyone.
Under the second underworld tree, Guan Dingrong quickly dug out the clothing and tokens of the Huangquan Sect's true disciples, as well as a black coffin unique to the Huangquan Sect.
Ji Qingtian was furious: "Prince Duan, you still say you are not a demon from Huangquan?"
The second prince was stunned: "It's fake, it must be fake, this must be an illusion."
Ying Hongye sneered and said, "Second brother, you said it yourself, under the Jianzhen Mirror, all illusions are invisible."
"I..." The second prince was speechless.
You only feel the pain when a boomerang hits you.
"Hongye, is there something wrong?"
The Queen couldn't sit still any longer.
The Second Prince is her only son now, and she would never let anything happen to him.
"How could the second brother be a Huangquan demon? Our Ying Kingdom royal family is protected by the destiny of humanity. It is impossible for any demon from a demon sect to disguise themselves as a royal family member. Moreover, all the disciples of Huangquan Sect are dead. The second brother is alive and well. How could he be related to Huangquan Sect?"
Ying Hongye said sternly, "Mother, you don't know that Huangquan Sect has recently innovated its technology. The Huangquan monsters themselves don't know that they are dead. Changsheng and I have encountered such an example in Qi State."
Ji Changsheng nodded, confirming what Ying Hongye said: "Hongye is right, we have encountered similar things in Qi. At that time, that person lived for more than ten years without knowing anything. It was not until I found out that he knew he had died a long time ago. Huangquan magic is strange and unpredictable, and it is hard to guard against. Prince Duan is living a good life in the eyes of the Queen and the world. Maybe he himself thinks he is living a good life, but he has already unknowingly joined the Huangquan Sect and become a pawn of the Huangquan Sect."
"It's just ridiculous."
Neither the Second Prince nor the Queen accepted this explanation.
Even if Ji Changsheng and Ying Hongye didn't lie to them this time.
Ji Changsheng also expressed his understanding of the two people's reactions.
"Prince Duan, you are filled with indignation at this moment, which just shows that you are guilty."
The Second Prince laughed again because of Ji Chang's anger: "I am angry that you, a demon from the Demon Cult, are confusing right and wrong without any sense of guilt."
Ji Changsheng explained: "When I expose you, your normal reaction is to be confused and terrified. This will make you look guilty."
Many people nodded subconsciously.
This should indeed be the normal reaction of a criminal after being exposed.
Ji Changsheng continued, "But you are not an ordinary sinner, Prince Duan. You are a demon from the underworld. Even though I have exposed the truth and broken your disguise, you still remain calm. You believe that you are innocent, and you can see it from your eyes."
The second prince said angrily: "Because I am innocent to begin with."
"No, this just proves that you are guilty, because demons are accustomed to being shameless."
"you……"
The second prince hated it.
Can you be reasonable? I am a demon from the underworld anyway, your logic is completely closed, how can I defend myself?
The queen couldn't stand it any longer: "Master Ji, my son is the prince of Ying State. I won't tolerate your groundless accusations. Ying State is not a place where you can casually put accusations on others."
Ji Changsheng smiled kindly at the Queen: "The way to verify that Prince Duan is the Yellow Springs demon is very simple. I killed the Second Prince. As long as he can be resurrected, he is the Yellow Springs demon."
Before the Queen could react, Ji Changsheng raised his sword and slashed.
Before the second prince could react, his head fell to the ground.
Even though this kind of thing has happened many times, the fact that Old Demon Ji once again killed people without blinking an eye still made many people present confused.
After all, Old Devil Ji was talking and laughing just now, but suddenly turned hostile and killed people the next moment, with no warning at all.
After the killing, Ji Changsheng continued to patiently explain to the Queen: "If Prince Duan cannot be resurrected, then he is a well-hidden demon from the evil cult."
At this time, the Queen finally reacted: "You..."
Ying Hongye directly controlled his mother.
Then everyone waited for a minute.
The Second Prince died with his eyes open, his body showing no reaction...
Everyone looked at Ji Changsheng with complicated expressions.
Detective Ji was not panicked at all, as he had seen through the truth: "I didn't expect that Prince Duan was so loyal to the Huangquan Sect that he would rather die than reveal any information about the Huangquan Sect. Well, considering his loyalty, just put him in the coffin and bury him."
After saying this, Detective Ji gave himself a thumbs up.
