Chapter 144 Entering Prince Liang's Mansion
When the Hundred-Change Star God started his journey, the news about this star god had already reached Ningwu County. In the Liang Wang Mansion, Liang Wang Gao Xu was lying on a chair, and the imperial physician beside him was quietly taking his pulse.
The imperial physician had a solemn expression on his face, and he was trembling with fear every time he took Prince Liang's pulse. After all, Prince Liang was born with a poison in the womb, and he must have been plagued by the poison all his life. If he were in an ordinary family, he would have died long ago. Only in the royal family could he survive, and he had to endure the pain day and night.
Thinking about the fact that this heart-eating poison had been brought out of the body along with the child's blood, ordinary medicines were simply unable to detoxify it. As King Liang grew older, the poison had penetrated into his bones, causing him excruciating pain day and night. Anyone who could persist in surviving was definitely not an ordinary person.
"Your Highness, your health has been improving recently. As long as you take your medicine regularly, you'll be fine."
The imperial physicians were afraid to say such things at first and spoke ambiguously. As a result, they were dragged away by King Liang and several of them were killed. No one dared to speak carelessly anymore. Moreover, these imperial physicians were specially sent from the palace because the emperor loved his son, so naturally, none of them dared to offend King Liang.
"Well, you know what to say to Father later."
King Liang retracted his arm. He was very thin, and so was his arm. It was so thin that he was almost skin and bones. You could see that his bones were not even the normal white color. This was a symptom of extremely severe poisoning.
The imperial physician didn't dare to say anything more and slowly retreated.
After a while, a warrior dressed in black knelt in front of King Liang.
"Your Majesty, the Lord of Changes has already set off."
King Liang just glanced at the assassin, and then the maid beside him brought up the incense burner that had been prepared long ago. The fragrance coming from it immediately made King Liang look comfortable. There was longevity cream in it, a medicine that could suppress pain. King Liang had been using it for many years.
"Who's following him?"
After feeling the loosening in his blood, King Liang slowly lay down on the bed. The maid beside him gently fanned the incense burner, letting the smoke float towards King Liang.
"Except for Feng's subordinates, the others are ordinary civilians, and there is no unusual movement around them."
This unusual movement of course meant that there might be some non-human being around Qin Lang, but the assassins did not dare to approach rashly, so all they saw with their naked eyes were ordinary people.
"Go down and make the necessary arrangements."
King Liang's voice gradually became erratic, and the assassin immediately retreated. Then the next moment, King Liang jumped up from the bed, grabbed the maid holding the incense burner, and pressed her under him before the maid could react. The maid had no time to be afraid, and there was even a flash of surprise in her eyes, thinking that she could fly up to the sky.
But the next moment, under the man's pressure, she saw the blue veins on King Liang's face. Then, King Liang grabbed her neck fiercely. The incense burner had fallen to the ground without her knowing when. The maid was completely powerless to resist King Liang's hand. In the end, her eyes bulged out, and when she struggled powerlessly, her eyeballs were filled with fear. In the end, she stopped moving...
When King Liang saw this scene, he burst into wild laughter and then took off the maid's clothes. There were assassins guarding nearby, so King Liang was not disturbed by anyone.
After waiting for an unknown amount of time, King Liang left before a eunuch came to clean up the mess.
When the young eunuch saw the maid being abused like this, he was so frightened that he trembled all over.
"master……"
The eunuch was used to it and had no expression on his face.
"Don't look, don't ask, and don't say anything. If you want to survive in Prince Liang's Mansion, you must treat yourself as a fool."
The eunuch began to deal with the corpses as usual. Many of the eunuchs who followed King Liang out of the palace were still alive. They were doing these dirty things for King Liang. Because of the poisoning, he had been unable to be humane for many years and could only vent his anger on women or young boys.
When Prince Liang was in Kyoto, whenever he was interested in a young master, he would simply abduct him and bring him to his palace. By the time the family came looking for him, there would be only a corpse left. However, the emperor felt sorry for his son who had gone mad due to poisoning, so he never punished him.
Qin Lang was still on his way to Ningwu County. He brought all the members of the Qin family with him, but the Qin family tacitly kept a distance from him. Although they had the closest blood relationship in the world, they were now just acquaintances.
But there is one person who still likes to stick to Qin Lang.
Inside Qin Lang's carriage, Canglang and Qin Meir were tasting the snack offered by Beiyang together. It was a peach blossom pastry, which tasted soft and fluffy, sweet but not greasy.
"Sister Ji, do you want to eat?"
Qin Meir enthusiastically handed the pastries to Kong Ji who was sitting beside him. Since his resurrection, Kong Ji has stayed by Qin Lang's side most of the time, except for obeying the call of his believers. Of course, he would occasionally fight with Cang Lang, but this world is really precarious, and the fight between the two is also a quarrel. If they really turn into their original forms to fight, then the world will probably be turned upside down.
"Yeah." Kong Ji gave Qin Meir face. After all, this was his good friend's blood, so he also tasted a bite of the peach blossom pastry.
After eating, Kong Ji looked at Qin Lang and said.
"That King Liang is filled with sins, and Heaven will kill him."
This means that no matter the crimes committed by King Liang, whether they were killed by gods, ghosts, humans or even demons, they were all for the sake of eliminating harm in the way of heaven and would not leave any residual problems.
Now there are many people in Huainan who worship Kongji, so Kongji can feel that King Liang has killed many of his believers, and he hates such dirty human beings.
"Of course I have to kill him, but it would be too easy for him if I killed him easily, so I have to go meet him."
Qin Lang has no plans to leave Huai'an. It is estimated that Li Min'an has already killed the prince of Dongyin. Qin Lang plans to go there after the autumn harvest to meet this true son of destiny.
There are still things to do in winter, so although Qin Lang looks relaxed on the surface, he is actually very busy.
After hearing this, the Phoenix Great Ming King Kongji said nothing more. He was able to resurrect because of the faith in incense, so if there were many people begging him to kill King Liang, then the Phoenix Great Ming King would do so.
Although God cannot interfere in human affairs, protecting his believers is something God must do.
Canglang didn't say anything, but teased Qin Meir with grapes. Qin Meir was neither afraid nor surprised to hear her father calling people murderers. Instead, she spoke quietly at this time.
"Dad, I know that King Liang is not a good person. He is very bad."
Qin Meir still has no distance from Qin Lang. In the entire Qin family, only Qin Meir is willing to get close to Qin Lang. When these words came out, Qin Lang was curious.
"Oh? How did Mei know?"
Qin Lang asked, and Qin Meir said.
"I heard from Uncle Mu that the Liang Palace purchases thousands of maids every year, and thousands more the following year. Those people have disappeared. Although there is no news, Uncle Mu said there is a problem. Those maids must have died, otherwise there would be no news."
Prince Liang paid money when he bought the maid. Many people who could not make a living or whose families did not want to raise girls would sell their children. Giving a maid five taels of silver directly could be said to make more money than raising her and marrying her off. Therefore, every year when Prince Liang's mansion bought a maid, many parents would personally send their daughters to it.
I just heard that the maids who were sent there later disappeared.
After hearing this, Qin Lang nodded, knowing the reason.
"Yeah, so Dad is going to kill him. Are you scared? Dad will kill people now."
I deliberately tease my daughter. She is a little silly, but very cute.
"I'm not afraid. Dad is a god now. Gods only kill bad guys. Grandpa and grandma said that everything Dad does is right."
Qin Meir gave a matter-of-fact answer, which made Qin Lang laugh.
Soon, laughter was heard from inside Qin Lang's carriage, which made the people in the carriage following behind breathe a sigh of relief. All the members of the Qin family were in this car. They had taken all kinds of magical medicines and were much stronger than ordinary people. In order to thank his best friends, Canglang even gave weapons to Qin Lang's family members.
That’s right, weapons.
Although Canglang and Kongji do not get along, they have the same feelings towards their best friend. As the Dragon God, Canglang found materials in the seabed and volcanic areas, and Kongji used the phoenix fire to burn them, and made a long sword for each member of the Qin family, even Qin Meir.
After the sword is bound to its master with blood, it can be made larger or smaller, and can cut through iron like mud. It can be said to be the greatest magic weapon in the world.
Qin Lang was very grateful for this, and so were the Qin family. Although they were not sure when their magic weapons would return to Kaifeng to kill people, they could not always let Qin Lang protect them. Therefore, everyone planned to train themselves well in the future so as not to worry Qin Lang all the time.
This time, when they followed Qin Lang to the Prince of Liang's Mansion, everyone felt that something must be wrong. They were very vigilant from the moment they set out on the road. However, no accidents happened on the way. Qin Lang successfully entered Ningwu County, entered the city amidst the people lining the streets to welcome him, and drove all the way to the Prince of Liang's Mansion.
As if to show his respect for this ever-changing star, King Liang came to greet him personally. Qin Lang saw a skinny man wearing a black brocade. The man's skin was as white as snow and looked particularly creepy.
"Greetings to the Hundred-Change Star Lord. It is truly an honor for my palace to have the Star Lord stay..."
King Liang came up and bowed deeply. Although he did not kneel down, it was obvious that he did not seem to be opposed to this versatile star. Even though he had heard the prophecy about the demise of Daxia, he was still so polite.
"Um."
Qin Lang seemed a bit indifferent. He was still wearing a frosty brocade robe today, which was in sharp contrast with the black brocade Liang Wangzhan. Naturally, the others did not follow him. Qin Lang was followed by Canglang and Kong Ji.
These two gods were disguised as humans, so King Liang Gao Xu naturally couldn't recognize them. He then cordially invited Qin Lang into his mansion.
"I heard that the Star Lord loves lotus flowers the most, so I held the Star Lord's welcoming banquet in the lotus pond within the palace..."
Prince Liang Gao Xu was very sincere when he spoke. Qin Lang looked at his skinny face and thought about the fate of the time travelers. He walked into Prince Liang's Mansion with a special meaning and soon saw the lotus flowers blooming in the pond.
The lotus leaves in the pond are extremely lush and green, with the purest white lotus flowers blooming on them. They are a type of lotus.
A faint stench of decay invaded the air, and Qin Lang glanced at the lotus pond and said.
"The prince's lotus flowers are well-maintained."
After hearing this, King Gao Xu of Liang was even more pleased.
"As long as Star Lord likes it, the lotus flowers here have been carefully nurtured by me for many years..."
