Chapter 256 The Regent Will Never Return
Yun Qingqing's mind suddenly became clear.
Perhaps because her realm started from scratch after traveling through time, and she encountered various events that were completely different from her previous life, her state of mind also changed.
It's not like me that I need someone to remind me of such a simple and clear thing.
Everyone has his own way, and she doesn't need to worry about his persistence.
Yun Qingqing raised her head and gave him a relaxed smile:
"Okay, let's do as you said."
This is good. The Tiansha Tribulation is extremely dangerous, and it is easier for her to protect him with him by her side.
…
…
Yun Qingqing and his group set off that day.
Zhiluo took the lead and appeared in a dense forest in Pingzhou in less than an incense stick of time. She placed the teleportation talisman and gave a signal.
Yun Qingqing was in the palace and directly teleported more than ten people to the destination.
Considering the seriousness of the matter, Xiao Changheng not only brought the southern expedition but also the secret guards this time.
In addition, hundreds of guards have also set out from the imperial capital to provide reinforcements.
Shortly after the palace guards set off, they arrived at the Prince's residence.
After receiving the report from his secret sentry, Xiao Zirui immediately sought consultation with the imperial teacher.
"Master Imperial Master, Xiao Changheng has sent many people to Pingzhou. Could it be that he has clues about Xuangang?"
Taoist Cang Huai has figured out that Xuan Gang's whereabouts is in Pingzhou. Xiao Zirui is counting on his men to capture him as soon as possible. This would be a great achievement. When the time comes, his own people in the court can make suggestions in the court and will surely be able to remove Chu Zu in advance.
But he didn't expect Xiao Changheng to rush to Pingzhou so quickly and send a team of over a hundred people. He immediately became restless.
The Imperial Master smiled calmly:
"Your Highness, there's no need to worry. The Regent is incredibly well-connected, so it's no surprise he's been able to get clues about Xuangang."
"You mean..." Xiao Zirui was stunned for a moment, then he understood something, "Could it be that the Imperial Master already has a plan?"
"Haha, Your Highness, don't worry. Senior Brother Cang Huai has already gone to Pingzhou. He just sent a message today. My uncle has also arrived."
"With my uncle's intervention, the Regent will definitely not return this time!"
"So that's how it is. That's great!" Xiao Ziheng was overjoyed.
He had heard that the national teacher's uncle was a reclusive master, so now he finally had peace of mind.
But he suddenly remembered something and frowned slightly:
"Yun Qingqing won't interfere in this matter again, right?"
The Imperial Master sneered:
"Your Highness, please be at ease. Even if Yun Qingqing has some skills, she can never be a match for my uncle!"
Although Qi Men Dun Jia is considered the best of the Xuanmen techniques, it is also the most difficult to master.
My uncle is a genius that is rarely seen in a century, and he has been practicing for decades. He is no longer on the same level as ordinary practitioners.
Yun Qingqing is a young girl who has just come of age. No matter how smart she is, she has no chance of winning against her uncle-master!
But after hearing what he said, Xiao Zirui's expression became more subtle.
"Master Imperial Master, what I mean is... ahem, if Yun Qingqing also went to Pingzhou, could you please ask your uncle-master... to just cripple her cultivation and spare her life?"
After hearing his words, the Imperial Master had a complicated look in his eyes:
"Is it possible that His Royal Highness still has feelings for her? Don't forget that only Tianfeng can help you accomplish your goals. If you become emotionally entangled with someone else and displease Tianfeng, it will lead to bad consequences."
"Master, you're worrying too much!" Xiao Zirui said quickly, "I just think it would be a pity for such a beautiful woman to die."
"He just wanted to keep her as a plaything, there's no such thing as any lingering feelings!"
The Imperial Master's expression eased slightly.
"It's good that the Crown Prince is aware of this. I will report this matter to my uncle, but whether he will show mercy is not something you and I can decide."
"Okay, then please ask the Imperial Master to convey that if your uncle agrees to my request, I will definitely grant his request after I ascend the throne!" Xiao Zirui said with a bow.
He felt a faint sense of anticipation in his heart.
That woman Yun Qingqing has been so arrogant for the past six months, but in the end she still has to rely on me to plead for her and save her life!
When she becomes a cripple and loses the backing of the Regent, she will come back to beg me sooner or later!
"Brother Prince." A sweet and gentle call suddenly came from the study door.
Yun Bailian was sitting in a wheelchair, pushed in by a servant, holding a tray with a plate of exquisite snacks on it.
"This is a snack I made myself. Prince, please try it and see if it suits your taste."
Xiao Zirui withdrew his thoughts and nodded gently:
"Thank you for your hard work. Put it down for now. I will definitely enjoy it after I finish discussing matters with the Imperial Master."
His eyes fell on her splinted leg.
"Your legs need to be taken care of. Don't overwork yourself. Go back and rest first."
Yun Bailian put down the tray obediently, and when she looked up, there was a hint of melancholy on her face:
"Then when Prince Brother is done with his work, can I come and accompany you?"
Xiao Zirui thought of what the Imperial Master said and said softly:
"I'll come see you later."
Yun Bailian then smiled.
But after she left the study, the smile on her face immediately disappeared and turned into a gloomy look.
It was also a coincidence that she wanted to give the prince a surprise, so she walked to the door with light footsteps and heard
The Imperial Master talked about the affairs of Pingzhou.
When Yun Bailian heard that a hidden master wanted to get rid of the Regent and Yun Qingqing, she was extremely excited.
But who would have thought that the prince would actually plead for Yun Qingqing!
Saying that I spared that bitch's life just to use her as a plaything is probably just an excuse.
It's obvious that the prince is still thinking about her!
When she thought of what she discovered the last time she almost died, her sense of crisis exploded and her nails dug deep into her palms.
If that hidden master could really destroy Yun Qingqing's cultivation, that would be his best chance.
If he wants to secure his position as the Phoenix, he must get rid of that bitch in one fell swoop.
She must not be allowed to continue living in this world!
…
…
Pingzhou.
All the secret guards had been sent away, leaving only Yun Qingqing, Xiao Changheng, Zhiluo and Nan Zheng in the dense forest.
Yun Qingqing summoned Poxiao, drew a huge formation on the open ground, and sat cross-legged at the center of the formation.
Zhiluo sat behind her, placed one hand on her back, gathered spiritual energy in her palm and sent it into her body.
After about half an incense stick of time, Yun Qingqing's voice was heard.
"Okay, go and have a rest."
"I'm fine," Zhiluo frowned and concentrated, continuing to transfer spiritual energy to her. "Anyway, the merits you arranged at the Mountain God Temple will be in place soon. You need spiritual energy the most right now, so save some for emergencies."
Yun Qingqing's eyes were slightly warm. She raised her hand and made a gesture. A faint light flashed behind her, and Zhiluo was bounced away with a small force.
She turned around and smiled at Zhiluo:
"That's enough. If you keep going like this and accidentally fall into a lower realm, you won't have anywhere to cry."
Zhiluo's expression froze, and then she touched her nose with a guilty look:
"That's not an exaggeration. I know what I'm talking about."
But she didn't insist anymore.
When she was transferring energy, she discovered that Yun Qingqing was like a bottomless pit. No matter how much spiritual energy she transferred, there was no result.
This only intensified her enthusiasm. How could she, a mere local guardian deity, not even be able to handle such a trivial task? She then mustered even more energy to channel her spiritual energy.
If Yun Qingqing hadn't discovered her and forcibly pushed her away, she would have been exhausted.
Zhiluo sighed softly and retreated outside the formation.
I can’t catch up, I can’t catch up, how can there be such a heaven-defying guy in the world!
In the center of the formation, Yun Qingqing was ready to continue. She pointed to a spot in the formation and gestured towards Nan Zheng:
"You go sit over there."
The Southern Expedition was immediately in place.
Xiao Changheng raised his eyebrows slightly, and subconsciously took two steps towards the formation, waiting for her arrangements.
But Yun Qingqing was still looking at Nan Zheng and said:
"Close your eyes, empty your mind, and don't panic no matter what you see next."
Seeing Nan Zheng nodded, she clasped her hands together and closed her eyes.
Xiao Changheng's expression paused, and he said in a deep voice:
"etc."
