1715 Interception, can't wait for the end
Kill Fengjiu, no matter the cost.
This is the task that Bei Ling gave to Lingbao Lord. It's not easy to do, but there will be a lot of benefits after it's done.
"It looks like we can cooperate." Lord Ling smiled, and with a flick of his finger the letter in his hand was burned to ashes.
There are many people who want to kill the Ninth Prince here. He did not interfere or participate before, but now he can get in touch with them. The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Lord Lingbao does not mind cooperating with the villains occasionally, as long as they can succeed.
Lord Ling straightened his clothes and walked out. As soon as he left, a black shadow flashed in.
The black shadow was very familiar with Lord Ling's study. He deftly took out the book from Lord Ling's secret compartment and compared it with the number he was reciting in his mind. After getting the answer he wanted, the black shadow restored everything and quietly left.
Knowing that there were dangers on the mountain, Feng Qingchen and the Ninth Prince would not fail to make preparations. Feng Qingchen carried an oversized backpack on his back and wore clothes with a strong ancient flavor, which made him look out of place. He attracted a lot of people's attention along the way, and made everyone look at the Ninth Prince with a little more strangeness.
Feng Qingchen is a small person with a big bag on his back, while the Ninth Prince, a grown man, is traveling empty-handed. The Ninth Prince is really something.
Everyone expressed that while they despised the Ninth Prince, they also felt a little envious. Finding a woman to do all the work of a wife, companion, and servant, Feng Qingchen was too capable.
Feng Qingchen and the Ninth Prince didn't care what these people said and just kept walking forward. They arrived at the foot of the mountain at the right time and saw Xuan Shaoqi in casual clothes. When the two parties were about to meet, one of the Ninth Prince's subordinates suddenly appeared and whispered a report in his ear.
The Ninth Prince's expression remained unchanged, but Feng Qingchen could feel that he was angry. After he left, Feng Qingchen raised her eyebrows and asked: What's wrong?
"The way up the mountain is not easy to walk on." The Ninth Prince looked up at the almost straight Tianqiong Mountain, his eyes dimmed: He didn't expect that Beiling's hand was so long.
If he hadn't come to Skydome Castle this time, he might not even know how he died. There are more smart people in this world than he imagined.
"There are always a few people who can't bear to see us alive." Feng Qingchen pulled the strap of his backpack and smiled.
Xuan Shaoqi walked closer and saw the big bag on Feng Qingchen's back, frowned and said, "Qingchen, give it to me." The Ninth Prince was too inconsiderate. Xuan Shaoqi glared at the Ninth Prince fiercely.
"It's not heavy. I'll carry it." Feng Qingchen shook her head and refused. If she carried the bag, others would only look at it twice, but if the Ninth Prince and Xuan Shaoqi carried it, there was no guarantee that they would not think too much.
Xuan Shaoqi vaguely guessed that Feng Qingchen's backpack was not simple, and seeing that Feng Qingchen was not struggling, he stopped forcing her. Seeing that the two looked serious, he asked, "What's going on?"
"Someone is going to take action on the way." Feng Qingchen said.
"So anxious? Who have you offended this time?" Xuan Shaoqi asked the Ninth Uncle. The Ninth Uncle glanced at him and said, "Who else has this prince not offended?"
"Ahem...you really have a good sense of self-awareness." Xuan Shaoqi almost choked to death. This guy is too shameless.
"It's getting late, let's go." The Ninth Prince gave Xuan Shaoqi a blank look, saw the people from Xuan Yue Palace from afar, and pulled Feng Qingchen forward.
Feng Qingchen watched the road silently without saying a word. The Ninth Prince and Xuan Shaoqi were arguing with each other, and she would be wrong no matter who she helped.
"Wait for me." Xuan Shaoqi was about to catch up, but Li Xuanyue saw her from a distance, trotted over and blocked his way.
"Shaoqi." Li Xuanyue looked happy.
"Miss Li." Xuan Shaoqi took two steps back indifferently. Li Xuanyue couldn't help but frowned: "Shaoqi, what's wrong with you? Didn't I ask you to call me Xuanyue?"
Xuan Shaoqi smiled but did not agree. Li Xuanyue did not dwell on this topic any more, but said to Xuan Shaoqi: "Shaoqi, my father and I also want to go up the mountain. Can we go together?"
While speaking, Li Xuanyue glanced at the Ninth Uncle and Feng Qingchen who were not far away, and secretly decided in his heart that no matter what, he must pull Shaoqi over. Shaoqi and Feng Qingchen must not be allowed to be together, as it was too dangerous.
Another person who shared the same idea as Li Xuanyue was Hongxiu. After much persuasion, Ling Tian finally agreed to take her to Tianqiong Mountain.
Hongxiu thought that Lingtian loved her and doted on her, but in fact Lingtian wanted to take this opportunity to find out who the master behind Hongxiu was.
As soon as Hongxiu arrived at Tianqiong Castle, she stayed in the room under the pretext of recuperating. When this group came out, they were so excited that they kept chattering and talking all the time.
In the past, Ling Tian thought Hongxiu was lively and that he would never be bored on the road with Hongxiu around. But now Ling Tian just thinks it is noisy, as if there are five hundred birds singing in his ears. But in order not to arouse Hongxiu's suspicion, Ling Tian has to smile and show a doting smile from time to time.
Hongxiu had no idea. Her big eyes searched all the way and finally she saw Xuan Shaoqi and, of course, Li Xuanyue who was beside Xuan Shaoqi.
Hongxiu glanced at him, and without paying any attention to her master behind her, she lifted her skirt and ran towards Xuan Shaoqi: So what if I'm the eldest lady of Xuanyue Palace? Even if I'm a fairy, it's useless if Master Xuan doesn't like me.
Feng Qingchen turned around and wanted to call Xuan Shaoqi, but found that Xuan Shaoqi was surrounded by Li Xuanyue and Hong Xiu. Feng Qingchen thought about it and decided to stay where he was and wait, so as not to attract more hatred.
"Shaoqi, I have already talked to my father. You should go up the mountain with me. Miss Qingchen has Uncle Ninth with her, so we will definitely be able to go up the mountain." Li Xuanyue's eyes were pleading, but she was extremely anxious in her heart, fearing that Shaoqi would insist on going with Feng Qingchen, which would cause trouble.
"Master Xuan, please come up the mountain with me. My master will definitely be very happy. You want to take Luqing with you, but I have no one to take care of her. Master Xuan, please go up the mountain with Hongxiu," Hongxiu pouted and acted coquettishly.
Li Xuanyue was so angry that he was about to die. Before he could convince Shaoqi, another person came to grab the thing. Li Xuanyue glared at Hongxiu fiercely and was about to scold her when he saw Ling Tian coming over.
When beating a dog, you have to look at its owner first. Li Xuanyue endured it and was about to talk to Ling Tian and ask him to keep an eye on her maid, but she didn't expect Ling Tian to invite Xuan Shaoqi to go up the mountain with him as soon as he arrived.
When Hongxiu heard this, she looked at Li Xuanyue proudly. Li Xuanyue was so angry that she was about to die. Fortunately, her father, the Master of Xuanyue Palace, saw this and stepped forward to help his daughter snatch the man away.
Xuan Shaoqi could easily refuse the invitation from Hongxiu and Li Xuanyue, but facing the enthusiastic Palace Master Xuanyue and Lingtian, Xuan Shaoqi felt troublesome because no matter how he refused, these two people pretended not to understand.
Xuan Shaoqi had no choice but to ask for help from the Ninth Emperor Uncle and Feng Qingchen. The Ninth Emperor Uncle and Feng Qingchen had been standing not far away. Receiving Xuan Shaoqi's look for help, the Ninth Emperor slowly walked over and said, "Shaoqi, it's time to go."
With just one sentence, he took the initiative. Li Xuanyue and Hongxiu couldn't help but shrink back, while Palace Master Xuanyue and Lingtian frowned.
If they could get Xuan Shaoqi away from the Ninth Prince, their chances of winning would be greater, but this was obviously not an easy thing to do. If they said more, there was no guarantee that the Ninth Prince would not become suspicious.
Ling Tian and Palace Master Xuan Yue winked at their maids and daughters respectively, asking them to keep Xuan Shaoqi and never let Xuan Shaoqi help Feng Qingchen and the Ninth Prince.
Uh... Hongxiu opened her mouth and met the cold eyes of the Ninth Prince. Thinking of the torture she suffered in Dongling Prison, she closed her eyes silently: she was afraid of the Ninth Prince.
Li Xuanyue was also afraid, but thinking of the danger that Jiuhuangshu and Feng Qingchen were about to face, Li Xuanyue didn't care about being afraid, and stepped forward to grab Xuan Shaoqi's clothes, with red eyes: "Shaoqi, Tianqiong Mountain is too high, I definitely can't climb up, can you help me?"
The beauty looked pitiful, with tears in her eyes. If it were any other man, he would have softened his heart long ago, but Li Xuanyue happened to meet the Ninth Prince and Xuan Shaoqi.
Although Xuan Shaoqi was not as cold and arrogant as the Ninth Prince, he was not a stubborn person without principles. Xuan Shaoqi pulled out his hand and said firmly, "I appreciate the kindness of the Palace Master and Junior Master. I have an appointment with the Ninth Prince, so I will go first."
After saying that, he turned and left. Li Xuanyue wanted to move forward, but was blown away by a stream of air. Looking up, he saw the Ninth Prince. Li Xuanyue's face turned pale and he staggered back.
The Ninth Prince's eyes fell on the Xuanyue Palace Master: "This prince is very interested in the Xuanyue Palace. I hope to have a chance to sit down and have a good chat with the Palace Master. Of course, it would be best if my aunt is willing to show up."
After saying this, he turned and walked up the mountain, leaving Xuan Yue Palace Master and Ling Tian looking at each other in bewilderment: Did the Ninth Prince know something?
The two men were feeling uneasy and kept looking at the Ninth Prince and his two companions until their backs disappeared from their sight. Only then did they come to their senses.
The plan was just decided this morning, so there is no way the Ninth Prince would know about it.
Ling Tian and Xuan Yue Palace Master comforted themselves in this way. They looked at each other, nodded gently, and then each of them took a closer look at their own treacherous women.
Li Xuanyue originally wanted to sneak away to look for Xuan Shaoqi halfway when there were many people around, but she didn't expect that she was being closely watched by the Palace Master of Xuanyue Palace all the way and had no way to escape.
"It's getting more and more desolate. I guess we're the only ones left on this road." Feng Qingchen looked around and found that there was no one around, so he stopped.
"No hurry, they won't attack here." It's still flat ground now, they have no chance of winning if they attack here. If they really want to attack, they will definitely choose the last thousand meters on the top of the mountain, that straight cliff.
The last thousand meters of Tianqiong Mountain is the place that tests one's strength the most. The last thousand meters is a straight stone wall with a smooth surface. Even a martial arts master cannot stand steadily on it. He can only use the vines hanging from the top of the mountain to move upwards.
But those vines are small and tender, easier to break than ordinary long vines, and cannot withstand strong pulling. Not to mention an adult man, even a seven-year-old child can tear them apart. If you want to go up the mountain, you must have great martial arts skills and dexterity.
Of course, this last section of the road would not be difficult for the Ninth Prince and Xuan Shaoqi, but if someone were to ambush them on this section, then the Ninth Prince and Feng Qingchen would be in danger, because after all, they would be trapped halfway up the mountain and unable to attack.
Feng Qingchen and the other two agreed that if Tianqiong Fort and Xuanyue Palace wanted to fight, they would definitely choose this route. And the weapons they had originally prepared to deal with Nanling Jinfan on the mountain were now put to use...
