About me traveling to the world of immortality but finding ways to surf the Internet

"Xiang Donglai, dead?" Liu Xiaoxiao covered her mouth tremblingly, her face pale. She was sure that no one would have the chance to kill Xiang Donglai when they left. Even though he was unconscious when they found him then. But if it were done at that time, Xiang Donglai's bleeding volume was so exaggerated, someone would definitely be splashed with a lot of blood.

"He is indeed dead." Qining stepped forward and stretched out his fingers to test his breath, then said with certainty. In fact, with such a wound, even if you don't test his breathing, you can tell just by looking at it that he can't still be alive. When Qi Ning's eyes fell on Xiang Donglai's wound again, he took a breath of cold air. The wound was so deep that the bones could be seen. It was so deep that one doubted that if Xiang Donglai's body was moved, his head would be supported. Keep falling.

Qi Ning realized that the deaths of Xiang Donglai and maid Xiaoqiao were probably a trap set up to frame him, and that the problem lay with the bodyguard Hu San he brought with him. The guards he brought first attacked the maid of Liu Xiaoxiao, the daughter of the prime minister, and escaped after being tied up. Xiang Donglai, who was in the sixth prince's camp, was found dead on the bed. At first glance, you can tell that the strength is achieved by someone who has practiced it. It is easy for people to suspect that it was Hu San who escaped.

Hu San has followed him as a bodyguard for many years and has always been loyal. Qining does not believe that he will rebel on his own initiative. He believed that Hu San really did these things because he was controlled by someone using special methods, but after all, Hu San was the bodyguard he brought. Even if he is not dead, this can still be used to instigate a relationship between him and the current Prime Minister and the Sixth Prince. In this way, even if he is alive, all his escape routes will be cut off...

The sixth prince Qi Zhen has a very good relationship with him. Unlike him who is not keen on fighting for power, Qi Zhen is more ambitious, but if they stick together, the two princes have the greatest chance of sticking together. This was probably the reason why the Sixth Prince sent Xiang Donglai to his fief, hoping that the two of them could unite.

Liu Xiaoxiao's father, Liu Yanzhong, the prime minister of the dynasty, was once a leading figure in the princelings. In other words, his choice is likely to represent the attitude of a group of courtiers who were princelings in the past.

However, if Yang Yuyao's puppet hadn't pointed it out, Qining would never have thought that Liu Yanzhong would ask his daughter, who came here with her mother to visit her, to take the initiative to contact him, because Liu Xiaoxiao's attitude towards him did not seem to mean that she wanted to be on good terms with him. Even before the incident, Liu Xiaoxiao seemed to be deliberately avoiding him. Why is this?

Having said that, thanks to the monk named Jin Yuesheng who pointed out to them through the soul search that what happened here was probably the second prince's people. Meng Gong, whom they once respected, was secretly manipulating them. They would not just be fighting each other. Suspicions and disputes are so simple.

"Wait a minute, if the two corpses are Xiang Donglai and Xiaoqiao respectively, where is Hou Feng?" He Xiu suddenly realized something was wrong and hurriedly asked Wen Mo, "Master Immortal, do you mean this wing includes Every room here?"

"Exactly." Wen Mo nodded and confirmed.

"Yes, Hou Feng's body is not where you last saw him. Either his body was moved away, or he left as a fake corpse." Yang Yuyao's clone puppet spoke, clarifying this point. Weirdness.

"That is to say, in addition to Xiang Donglai and Xiaoqiao, Hou Feng's current status has become unknown... Hou Feng and Meng Gong are both alive and dead, and Hu San and Hou Feng's servants are missing. In addition, in this villa There may be others hidden that we don’t know about.”

Qi Ning couldn't help but pace around the room. With two immortal masters present, there was no need to worry about safety issues. But how could he deduce the precise plan of this conspiracy with a small amount of evidence, and use this to infer the appropriate plan? When will it be used to bring down the second prince? He did not dare to expect Yang Yuyao's clone puppets and Wen Mo to accompany them and carefully search every corner of the villa. "Jin Yuesheng" promised him to ensure their safety and take them away from this place. He has no obligation to accompany him to investigate slowly.

"Okay, we've seen enough here. Let's go meet 'Hou Feng' next. We need to hurry up." Yang Yuyao's clone puppet suddenly said. Qi Ning and others looked at him in confusion, but Still following him obediently, he quickened his pace.

Yang Yuyao's clone puppet led the way as if he were at home. After all, having searched Dou Shisheng's soul, he already knew the structure of this villa well. He led a group of people into a secret passage in a familiar way, and then they lit torches and walked to a dungeon-like place. Here, they saw a man with his hands hanging by chains and his body covered in blood and kneeling on the ground.

When the man heard the footsteps and turned around, he revealed the face that he had just seen not long ago, which belonged to Hou Feng. His hair crown was scattered, and the brocade suit he wore at the banquet was so stained with blood that it was impossible to see its original appearance. His face was extremely pale, and the elegant and suave appearance he wore at the banquet could not be seen at all.

"Is it Hou Feng? Is he really alive?!" Liu Xiaoxiao said in surprise, but did not dare to step forward rashly, but stayed next to Yang Yuyao's clone. She was worried that there was no need for Hou Feng to hurt her. Although Hou Feng was still alive, the injuries on his body made him almost dead.

"Fifth Prince, I didn't expect you to find yourself here..." Hou Feng said, showing a sarcastic and self-deprecating smile, and then vomited a large mouthful of blood.

"Why are you like this?" Qining asked. He also kept a distance from Hou Feng. He was no longer sure whether the person he saw in front of him was really Hou Feng. If this was true, the Hou Feng who was stabbed in the chest with a dagger in their room before was also not sure. who? If that is the real Hou Feng, who is this man who looks like Hou Feng in front of me?

"I was self-righteous, but my cleverness was mistaken for me." Hou Feng laughed a few times, and then cried and howled to Yang Yuyao's clone puppet, begging him to save his life. When He Xiu heard this, he was afraid that Yang Yuyao would rescue him, so he wanted to rush over and strangle Hou Feng to death, but was hugged tightly by Liu Xiaoxiao. However, Liu Xiaoxiao could not control He Xiu, who had been practicing martial arts since childhood. In order to prevent the clues from being lost, Qi Ning also quickly stopped him.

"Miss He, do you want to choose to let Hou Feng die here, but you, and even your father and your other relatives and friends have been suppressed and retaliated by the Hou family. I still hope that Fu Xian will be acquitted one day, and all those who have done evil, including Hou Feng, will be punished." People should be punished as they should? I think smuggling salt in Min country should also be a serious crime that requires beheading, right?"

Yang Yuyao's clone asked in a low voice. Hou Feng couldn't hear this volume, but He Xiu, who was blocked by Liu Xiaoxiao and Qining, could hear it clearly. After hearing the most hopeful possibility, He Xiu finally calmed down again and looked at the fox-eyed monk expectantly.

"Is it really possible for Fu Xian to be vindicated?" He Xiu asked with a trembling voice. She tried again and again to redress her grievances, but failed again and again. She never blamed her father for not helping her, because she knew that her father did not dare to offend the Hou family for the sake of his family and the brothers he fought with. The Hou family has too much power. Once they take revenge, I don't know how many people will die.

Therefore, even though He Xiu had already figured out a way to prevent his father's family from being implicated, he still didn't dare to take action. She didn't even know why she appeared in Hou Feng's room at that time, and when the dagger she used to defend herself disappeared and appeared there.

"Well, my suggestion is that you can consider cooperating with the fifth prince, but this has certain risks and you have to let Hou Feng live for a while longer." Yang Yuyao replied. Smuggling salt is a major crime in any country in the world. Even if a prince commits the crime, he will be severely punished. If done properly, Qining can use this to significantly weaken the power of the third prince and the Hou family in one fell swoop.

After Yang Yuyao observed Qi Ning, he found that the fifth prince was relatively calm when faced with problems, and he was also relatively rational in stating things. As for more aspects, we can't see it in such a short time, but since the current prime ministers of this country are optimistic about him, I think he is still at a certain level. And his cooperation with He Xiu on this matter is very beneficial to both parties. He Xiu has been complaining for so many years, and she probably has a lot of evidence on hand, but she can't bypass the Hou family. Her family settled here because her father was stationed at the border, and it was too far away from the capital. But if he gets on the line with Qining, the chance that the emperor will see these evidences with his own eyes will increase significantly.

But Yang Yuyao couldn't go into detail. He could only make some suggestions. Whether this cooperation can be achieved depends most importantly on Qining's attitude and choices.

"Miss He, our interests are the same in dealing with the Hou family, so I very much hope that you can help me. If you succeed in bringing down the Hou family, I will help you reverse the case for Fu Xian and let him be acquitted. I am I promise to be witnessed by two immortal masters today. If I break my promise, I will be struck by lightning from the sky and I will not end well." Qining realized this and quickly made his promise.

"Okay, for the sake of Master Immortal, I will bear with letting Hou Feng live for a while longer. I hope the prince can keep his promise." He Xiu accepted Qining's promise. said.

After Qi Ning and He Xiu reached an agreement, although Liu Xiaoxiao did not say whether she would side with them, she already knew too much and had no choice. Anyway, her father also tends to support Qining. After the conflict was resolved, they continued to find out what was going on with Hou Feng.

After Hou Feng's narration, some doubts were finally answered. It turns out that the killed Hou Feng they saw was not Hou Feng himself, but the boy they thought was missing. They used some means to disguise him as Hou Feng in order to frame He Xiu, and the dagger did indeed belong to He Xiu, and was stolen while she was not prepared at the banquet.

The reason why Hou Feng did this was naturally because he knew that He Xiu wanted to kill him for revenge because of Fu Xian. He Xiu beat the drum many times to redress his grievances for Fu Xian, but the Hou family's forces suppressed the matter. Since Hou Feng was a member of the Hou family and this matter was directed at him, he certainly knew about it and conducted a secret investigation for this purpose. He found out that He Xiu was driven to despair by the Hou family's hands and eyes, and wanted to Use extreme methods to retaliate against him.

Therefore, Hou Feng wanted to use his plan to harm the He family. The He family held a lot of military power, but had always been unclear about where to stand, so the Hou family regarded it as a major concern. Hou Feng didn't understand why the second prince was so clear about his plan. Although he was shocked when Princess Meng invited him to perform in this play, he thought that although this person was not a monk, he was good at using strange and cunning techniques. He was not like the ordinary Meng Gong, and he didn't know that Meng Gong was actually the second prince's son at first, so he cooperated with Meng Gong.

After all, it is not that easy for Hou Feng to complete the task by himself. However, Hou Feng did not expect that Meng Gong would go back on his promise immediately after helping him complete the matter. He would lock him up and torture him, forcing him to reveal the truth about the third prince and the Hou family.

Hou Feng didn't know the specific plan of Meng Gong. He only knew that all the guests at the banquet drank the drugged wine, including the accompanying guard Hu San, maid Xiaoqiao and his young man Da Zhuang. He also drank because he helped his master test poison. So as long as Meng Gong and others think about it, they can easily control everyone among them. However, Qi Ning, Liu Xiaoxiao and He Xiu were infected when Yang Yuyao's puppet broke the wall of the secret room and smelled the drugged incense. After taking the antidote, they were completely released from the control as a blessing in disguise. risks of.

Yang Yuyao's clone puppets did not explain so clearly because they were not monks. The effect of the second dose of the secret medicine "Desire Fruit" can be superimposed multiple times, which is equivalent to the first dose. The person who is infected will suffer from persistent weakness that is prone to negative effects. The second round of drug administration can also cause negative effects such as stiffness, continuous loss of life, confusion, etc., depending on the needs.

He Xiu didn't know why she ran to Hou Feng's room. It was also the effect of the second medicine, but because of the special nature of the medicine "Yu Guo", she would be infected again after encountering the medicine in the incense scent. .

"In other words, Meng Gong is not an honorific title, but a personal name?" While Qi Ning and the others were trying to find out more about Meng Gong's plan from Hou Feng, Yang Yuyao, who had deserted, learned about Meng Gong from Wen Mo. This name turned out to be a real name. As long as this person's parents gave him an extra word, he would not have this misunderstanding.

"Actually, there is no problem in being treated as an honorific. Although Meng Gong did not directly enter the temple, his talent made him famous among the monks of Wei Wu Kingdom even as a mortal." Wen Mo replied, he did not comment on Meng Public behavior, whenever involved in the struggle for imperial power, intrigues and frequent tactics are common. The common people don't care how these princes and grandsons fight with each other, as long as it doesn't affect them. Not to mention them monks.

"This second prince of the Min Kingdom has attracted a group of talents." Yang Yuyao thought to himself. Although Yang Yuyao disliked both Dou Shisheng and Meng Gong for their style of conduct, it had to be said that they were indeed talents. One is obviously a mortal, but he can use all kinds of weird methods, and the other is a monk who can use rare tricks.

As for the second prince, Yang Yuyao cannot make a judgment without having in-depth contact with him. At present, he can only confirm that this person is a very capable and ruthless person. It's hard to say whether he can become a good emperor. A person who uses extremely ruthless means to seize power does not necessarily fail to make a good emperor. Becoming an emperor means that his status and the main contradictions he faces have changed, which will prompt him to adjust and change the methods he uses. Make moves that benefit the country and the people.

However, not to mention that the second prince's current methods are very disgusting, Yang Yuyao has no good impression of him just because of his relationship with Dou Shisheng.

"Master Jin, I wonder if you can save Hou Feng's life and take him away with you?" Qi Ning requested. Hou Feng may be an important witness in the future, so Qi Ning doesn't want him to die so soon.

"Yes." Yang Yuyao agreed, and asked the clone puppet to treat Hou Feng's fatal injuries, cut off the chains and put him down, as for Hou Feng's broken limbs. He didn't bother to care. After all, Qi Ning's request was just to keep Hou Feng alive and able to speak. They didn't want him to be active either.

Just when Qi Ning wanted to express that they could leave, he felt a sudden flicker of the lit torch, followed by Liu Xiaoxiao's suppressed exclamation. He saw a masked man in black who didn't know when he appeared and slashed at him with a knife, but Yang Yuyao, who reacted quickly, used the handle of the fan to hold him back, raised his leg and kicked him away. The masked man in black instantly fell to the ground, unable to get up again.

The Wen Mo sword on the side flashed with cold light, and a new dead body was added to the ground.
