Phoenix comes to the underground palace.
Su Changzhao and Yu Jiuchen entered a mysterious stone wall one after another.
Li Xing, Xiao Qinsu and Bai Longnu who arrived later tried every possible way but failed to find out the secret of the stone wall.
Just when Bai Longnu proposed to destroy the stone wall, that is, to dig a hole in the wall to dig the people out, and Li Xing agreed, Xiao Qinsu hurried forward to stop them.
Who knew there was an uninvited guest in this ancient temple?
"...My name is Liu Wu Yue, the former imperial master of Qing State, and now...a fugitive..."
"I came here only because of God's will..."
Li Xing pointed his sword directly at the opponent's throat and stared into his clear eyes, "Liu Wu Yue..."
Xiao Qinsu noticed Li Xing's tone and seemed to know this Liu Wu Yue.
Bai Longnv asked, "How did you, a Qing Kingdom master, sneak in? With your identity, we can just kill you. No one will know about it anyway, and if you die, it will just be one more corpse."
Liu Wu Yue looked at her and said with a wry smile: "This is also the reason why I didn't show up at the beginning. I was really afraid that my life would be in danger."
"Then why do you show up?" Li Xing asked.
Liu Wu Yue turned her gaze back to him, her smile faded, "Of course it was to stop you from destroying the stone wall. I'm not lying. Once the stone wall is damaged, even if those two succeed in their training, they will never be able to get out again."
Li Xing: “…”
Liu Wu Yue, he remembered this name.
Others may not know, but some time ago Li Xing was sent by Su Changzhao to assassinate Yuan Shi'an, the Crown Prince of Qing.
I have heard this name during this period. It is said that the third prince of Qing Kingdom came to Ghost Town just for 'Liu Wu Yue'.
It was because Liu Wu Yue, as the national teacher, stole the treasure map of Qing Kingdom without permission.
The two princes of Qing Kingdom came to the ghost town one after another, both for the man in front of them.
Just as Liu Wu Yue finished speaking, the three people in front of him all had their backs to the stone wall, so they didn't see it.
But Liu Wu Yue was facing them, so he was the first to notice the changes on the stone wall behind them.
“It’s coming out!”
He suddenly stared in the direction of the stone wall and blurted out.
Before anyone could react, the ground began to shake violently.
Sand and gravel continued to fall from the top of the temple.
White Dragon Girl: "What's going on?"
"This place is going to collapse!" Xiao Qinsu shouted, "Get out now!"
She had already pulled Bai Longnu towards the door.
Passing by Li Xing, she saw that Li Xing was still pointing his sword at Liu Wu Yue, so she shouted, "Go!"
"The master hasn't come out yet!" Li Xing stared at Liu Wu Yue, but spoke to Xiao Qinsu.
Before Xiao Qinsu could answer, Liu Wuyue said, "Don't worry about them. They are all destined to be together. Nothing will happen to them."
Xiao Qinsu also quickly joined in: "Let's go out first." Her hand was already on Li Xing's arm.
Seeing this, Li Xing did not insist any more.
He also felt that his Qiansui would not get into trouble so easily, and immediately rushed out of the temple with everyone else.
Fortunately, they came out in time and no one was injured after the temple collapsed.
Instead, it attracted the Dragon Guardians and Fenglai general Gu Qiang and others.
These people had long discovered that Su Changzhao and others had not returned for a long time, but without Su Changzhao's order, they did not dare to act on their own and could only send a small team to search nearby.
Who would have thought that before the people sent out had gone far, they heard the roar of a building collapsing.
They came here naturally following the noise.
Gu Qian hurried forward: "What happened? Where are the Ghost King and the Princess?"
No one answered her.
Just at this moment, in the ruins where the ashes had not yet dispersed, a golden light suddenly appeared and rose from the ground.
Gu Qiang also looked at it with everyone else.
The powerful airflow made everyone's clothes flutter up and down, and the golden light was so strong that they could not look directly at it.
I saw the golden light rushing straight to the ground.
Empress Tang Fengjian, a group of palace maids and guards who were still looking outside the pit, all looked in amazement at the beam of light that shot out from the pit and rushed towards the sky.
When Tang Feng looked up and saw a column of light reaching into the sky, he began to feel a little worried.
What exactly happened below?
Is it okay to recruit them?
Under the underground palace.
In front of the temple ruins, a crowd of people were watching this strange sight.
"Sir." Li Xing raised his arms to block the airflow and strong light.
He no longer has time to care about anything else.
There was probably only one person in the whole audience who was different from them.
Liu Wuyue.
He was unusually calm, as if he knew what was going to happen.
"Here I come." No one heard the two words that came out of his lips.
But then.
Stones rolled down from the ruins, and a golden coffin suddenly appeared in everyone's sight.
"What is that?" someone exclaimed.
"Look! There's a phoenix totem on that coffin."
"It's the Golden Phoenix Coffin!"
"The legendary golden phoenix coffin!"
Suddenly.
The ground shook again.
The huge and golden phoenix coffin slowly opened, but inside the coffin was a five-meter-tall golden phoenix.
The phoenix slowly opened its eyes as if waking up.
With a whoosh sound.
Spreading its wide wings, its already gigantic body looks even more terrifyingly huge!
I saw it bowing towards the golden light, as if welcoming its master.
Next second.
Two figures appeared in the golden light.
"Sir!" Li Xing was the first to recognize him.
Xiao Qinsu: "Your Majesty..." He stopped talking very quickly.
White Dragon Girl: "Ghost King, Princess!"
The two people in the golden light were Su Changzhao and Yu Jiuchen.
But the golden light seemed to be shielded. Su Changzhao could not hear anyone's voices at all, nor could she see anything beyond the golden light. She slowly turned her head to look at the person holding her hand and smiled weakly:
"Ah Heng, we are finally... back..."
After saying that, his eyes went dark...
.
.
When Su Changzhao woke up again, he was already in Fenglai's palace, lying on a high bed with soft pillows.
Although she had gone through many hardships in the Phoenix Realm, her body did not seem to have suffered any damage. On the contrary, when she woke up this time, she felt that her physical and mental condition were better than before.
This is probably what Ah Heng felt in the original novel. Every time he came out of an illusion, he would be stronger than before.
Of course, only after experiencing it yourself will you know that becoming stronger often comes at a price.
Thinking of this, Su Changzhao quickly grabbed Xiao Qinsu who was guarding the bed.
Seeing that she finally woke up, Xiao Qinsu said happily, "You are awake, my Lord."
"Where is the princess?" Su Changzhao's first question.
At the same time, looking around the room, it seemed that there was no one else except the two of them.
"Princess... she hasn't woken up yet."
Su Changzhao stood up suddenly, "Not awake yet?"
"Yes, but don't worry, I have been keeping an eye on that side. Apart from not waking up, the princess is fine."
Hearing this, Su Changzhao finally put down the heavy stone in his heart, "That's good."
Last time in the Nine Dragon Stone Coffin, she woke up later than Ah Heng. This time she woke up earlier, so maybe he woke up a little later.
Su Changzhao decided to go to his place to check and make sure with her own eyes that he was okay, only then could she feel truly at ease.
"How long have I slept?"
Seeing Su Changzhao stand up, Xiao Qinsu knew that she wanted to find Yu Jiuchen.
So he answered, "It was only two days, not too long."
Xiao Qinsu knew very well that Su Changzhao was worried about the trip to Xia Country.
They promised to present the treasure map to Emperor Xia, and this matter must not be delayed.
"Thank you for your hard work." Su Changzhao patted her shoulder, the meaning was self-evident.
She was able to wake up so quickly, definitely thanks to Xiao Qinsu's superb medical skills.
Xiao Qinsu understood and accepted it gladly.
"Come with me to the princess, and I'll tell you what happened in the past two days."
"Yes." Xiao Qinsu began to report:
"Lord Lenggui came several times, but I drove him away every time."
"Well, he can't help here either." Su Chang said in understanding.
Xiao Qinsu narrowed her eyes, "So I asked him to guard the outer courtyard."
"Where's Xiaobai?"
"Xiaobai has been leading the tribesmen in the city on standby."
Su Changzhao nodded when he heard this: "How did we get back from the underground palace?"
Xiao Qinsu briefly recounted what had happened, including the phoenix coffin being carried out and the scene of her and Yu Jiuchen appearing in the golden light.
Su Changzhao showed no emotion on the surface, but he felt speechless inside.
Well, I was present at both of those big and famous scenes, but I didn’t see them. I’m really unique.
But these are not the point. The point is that Xiao Qinsu mentioned a person right after that.
"You mean, the former Qing Kingdom's Imperial Master Liu Wuyue?"
Su Changzhao paused and looked at Xiao Qinsu.
Xiao Qinsu nodded, "Yes."
"Where is he now?"
"In the princess' room."
"ah?"
Xiao Qinsu thought she was worried about Yu Jiuchen's safety. After all, with so many people around, it was a bit casual to leave Yu Jiuchen to an outsider to take care of him.
Xiao Qinsu had to quickly explain, "The princess's situation is a bit special. Mr. Liu is proficient in the art of Qimen. He said he had a way to save the princess and promised to take my poison. He said that if he did anything wrong, he would be buried with me. I observed him for a long time and saw that he didn't seem like he would do anything wrong, so I felt relieved to hand the person over to him."
Su Changzhao thought: In the original novel, Liu Wu Yue is Ah Heng's male concubine, and the only male concubine. He should not be harmful to Ah Heng.
Why do I feel a little uncomfortable in my heart?
"Forget it, let's go over there first." She said, and continued to take Xiao Qinsu over.
On the way, she didn't know what was going on.
My mind was full of thoughts of Ah Heng and Liu Wu Yue being together, including the scenes of their lovemaking in the original novel. All of those were transformed from words into pictures.
"Your Majesty, will you be nice to Wu Yue in the future?"
"Yes, my Wu Yue is very capable and sensible, and I like her very much."
The silhouettes of the candle windows slowly come together.
!!!
Su Changzhao brought the scene in his mind to an abrupt halt.
I couldn't help but quicken my pace.
In an instant, he left Xiao Qinsu behind, and the latter couldn't catch up.
When he arrived at the gate of Yu Jiuchen, Su Changzhao saw that the door was not closed. He paused, then walked in lightly.
Chest drumming: No, no, no...
But when she saw Liu Wu Yue being pinned down by someone, her mind went blank...
