The real young master is also the real devil

straight down

After waking up the next day, Shi Zhilin recalled what he did the day before, and bravely walked out of the yard where he lived.

This time it was not Qi Guan who was waiting outside the door, but a handsome young man. When he saw Shi Zhilin, he greeted him with a drawn-out tone: "Yao—Ling—Dao—Jun."

Shi Zhilin: "Are you... the Xuanwu clan?"

The young man nodded slowly: "I am Xuan Shiliu."

Shi Zhilin looked around: "Where is your Highness?"

Xuan Sixteen: "Your Highness is in the Four Gods Hall, do you have anything to do with him?"

"It's all right." Shi Zhilin turned around and walked into his small courtyard, packed his luggage in twos and twos, "Tell him for me that I'm going back to Jinling first, and see you in half a month when the secret realm of Hongmeng opens."

Yexuan Shiliu was slow to react in the first place, but after Shi Zhilin packed his luggage and walked out for a while, he finally realized, touched his head, and chased after him, and said to Shi Zhilin: "But His Highness asked you to wait for him, he has something to say to you." you say."

Shi Zhilin thought of the scene of himself sitting in Bai Xuzhi's arms and crawling on him yesterday, he was terrified, and hugged the package tightly: "You said I have something urgent to take a step ahead!"

After speaking, without waiting for Xuan Shiliu's reaction, he disappeared without a trace.

After leaving the Vientiane Valley, Shi Zhilin breathed a sigh of relief, and flew more than a dozen miles, and arrived at an ordinary city. The plaque on the gate read: Heyi City.

Shi Zhilin has never been to this city, but he has an impression of it, because it is a rare city that is far away from the imperial city, has a great sect of immortals nearby, but is completely governed by mortals.

Shi Zhilin walked around the city, found a restaurant to sit down, and asked Xiao Er: "Why does the city look so deserted today?"

Xiao Er paused, looked around, and said in a low voice: "Mr. Lang just came to Heyi City, I'm afraid I don't know something. People have come over there in the past few days, and I don't know what they are doing. They have taken away many people. These are young ladies and gentlemen, you listen to the younger one, hurry out of the city before it gets dark."

Shi Zhilin: "Where is that?"

Xiaoer raised his chin to the east, and his voice was almost breathless: "Isn't it the Xianmen Shijia?"

Shi Zhilin narrowed his eyes slightly, "The Shi family? I came from Jinling, why didn't I hear any changes in the Shi family?"

Xiao Er shook his head: "Who knows about these immortals? Ever since that Yaoling Immortal Lord obtained the Primordial Secret Realm, there have been more and more rumors about him outside. At that time, it was normal for his children to be arrogant. Heyi City is high in the sky and the emperor is far away, and there is no fairy gate to take care of it, what the Shi family wants to do is not a matter of a word."

Shi Zhilin: "How do you know that those people are Shi Shi's disciples?"

Xiao Er: "They all said that, and they all passed on the Xuanyi of the Shi Clan's disciples, and the family emblem also belonged to the Shi Clan."

Shi Zhilin lowered his eyes and said: "Jinling is so far away from Heyi, and there is no special refining material here, and it is a mortal city, so it stands to reason that the possibility of Shi's disciples coming here is extremely small."

Xiao Er suddenly looked around nervously, bent down and reminded: "Lang Jun, what you said is exactly the same as a fairy who passed by a few days ago, but you must remember not to say it outside again, that fairy said at that time Those words were heard by the disciples of Shi's family, and I saw with my own eyes that group of Shi's disciples injured that fairy and took him away."

Shi Zhilin: "The immortal gentleman said that, neither insulting Shi's disciples nor making harsh words, why was he caught?"

Xiaoer was stunned, "This... how do you know, the disciples of the Shi family naturally arrest whoever they want."

Shi Zhilin was about to ask again, when he saw the familiar Xuanyi flashing past, he left behind a piece of silver, and chased after him.

However, he didn't chase very far before he felt the message stone on his chest was hot, thinking it was a letter from Bai Xuzhi, he hesitated for half a second before taking out the message stone, but before he could read the message clearly, he heard a distant and heavy bell Sounds came from all directions.

——This is the bell that only rings when the emperor dies.

All the people in the city put down their work and looked towards the north. Shi Zhilin's face immediately changed, and they rushed to the imperial city after arousing great joy.

It is said that a cultivator in the Transformation Stage can travel thousands of miles a day, but Shi Zhilin is only a Nascent Soul Dzogchen. Heyi City is too far away from the imperial city, even if he travels day and night, he will only arrive at the imperial city on the second day.

White banners have been hung on the streets and alleys of the imperial city, the streets are cold, everyone is in a hurry, and there is no sign of joy.

Shi Zhilin held the token and went directly into the palace, besides the civil and military officials, Shi Zheng was also in the palace, seeing Shi Zhilin, he said tiredly, "Come here and kowtow to uncle."

Shi Zhilin stared blankly at the man with his eyes closed on the dragon bed, he couldn't believe that the man who had smiled and said that he would crown him himself died like this half a year ago.

"His Royal Highness."

Shi Zhilin was awakened by the servant's call, he avoided the cushion handed over by the palace servant, knelt on the ground, suppressed the grief in his eyes, and asked in a trembling voice: "Uncle, why..."

He couldn't say what he said, but no one understood what he meant. The imperial physician who was waiting on the side walked up to his knees and replied: "Return to Your Highness, Your Majesty was poisoned before. Although he took the antidote, the poison stayed in his body It’s been too long, and after all, it still affected the body of the dragon. After being infected with the wind and cold a few days ago, it has been unable to recover. It should have been raised well, but there are many government affairs, and the residual poison suddenly broke out yesterday..."

Shi Zhilin turned his head suddenly: "What kind of poison is in uncle?"

The imperial doctor pressed his forehead to the ground, trembling and did not answer.

Shi Zhilin noticed something and turned to look at Shi Zheng.

Shi Zheng said: "It's the poison from the Western Regions. It has never appeared before, and the source has not been found yet."

Shi Zhilin: "Where did the antidote come from?"

Shi Zheng was silent for a while, "We'll talk about this later."

Shi Zhilin looked around, all civil and military officials bowed their heads close to the ground, no one looked at him.

Only Dazai said: "Your Highness, the sage has not yet decided on a successor, so please stay in the imperial city for a while longer."

……

Emperor Zhao's funeral was very grand, although it was at the right time, but it was different from Shi Zhilin who formally issued an imperial edict to enshrine his son, Shi Zhilin had to deal with more things by himself.

On the day Zhao Di passed away, the bells sounded all over the Kyushu. Naturally, the family of the Immortal Clan also knew about it, and rushed to the imperial city one after another, but they didn’t know if it was true or not. If you are on the right track, you will come to see you every day.

However, compared to the reopening of the Hongmeng Secret Realm, Shi Zhilin still has more important things to do now. A country cannot live without a king, but it is absolutely impossible for him to inherit the throne, even if civil and military officials invite him one after another. He went to the imperial study to review the memorials and deal with government affairs, and he never compromised and stayed in the Wude Hall.

Today, besides him, there are also his elder brother Shi Zheng and the royal relatives of the Zhao family's clan besides him.

If Shi Zhilin does not succeed, the next emperor will naturally choose from the clan, but this time there is no suspense in the choice, because since Shi Zhilin was eight years old and the foundation was established, Emperor Zhao knew that his nephew would not be able to inherit the great cause, so he focused on cultivating his nephew. He adopted a clan son, Zhao Hong.

The current discussion is actually just a formality.

A few days later, Zhao Hong formally succeeded to the throne, and the late emperor had just passed away. He raised the fact that he did not want to hold a grand succession ceremony, which also made Shi Zhilin feel relieved.

After leaving the imperial city again, it was already two months later, and the secret realm of Hongmeng had to be opened.
