Chapter 56: The Star Maiden(1/2)
Xiao Qianye got up and walked to the military pavilion as usual. The Li Kong Sword in his hand was quiet and he didn't notice anything unusual. He walked to the door of the military pavilion and his eyes were immediately caught by a gray-brown flying sword on the door.
Moth Attraction - This moth has a faint red light in its eyes, as if someone is observing it secretly.
Xiao Qianye paused for a while, and without alerting the enemy, he walked directly into the military pavilion and checked carefully again. There was an identical moth in the place where he usually handled documents.
He was startled, but he still calmly drove away the moths with his hands. He calmly sat down in his usual position, flipped through the thick documents on the table alone, and pondered secretly.
Could it be the art of controlling insects? I do remember that there is this mysterious art in the Jialuobai sect, which can drive poisonous insects to detect and even assassinate. Just now Gongsun Yan reminded himself that there is something following him. It should be this kind of small insect that is difficult to detect, right?
Xiao Qianye couldn't help but frown. No, if he was from the Bai Sect, wouldn't it be more likely to ambush him when he is in Jialuo territory every year? There is absolutely no need to sneak into the Tianyu Imperial City and then sneak into the military pavilion at this time.
Come and attack him.
Bai Jiao is not the only one with the insect control skills on Feiyuan, but there are also slight differences between the various sects. Bai Jiao's insect control masters mostly control the surrounding insects, but this moth is more like artificially bred and deliberately placed in his body.
around.
He put down the documents in his hand, stood up and left the military pavilion. In the open space at the door, the Forbidden Army was still dealing with the collapsed competition platform and viewing platform.
Xiao Qianye scanned the circle carefully and discovered that not only the Military Pavilion, but also the Mo Pavilion and the Mirror Pavilion next door had such small moths on them. Even in the cleaned ruins, there were many of them.
The moths kept exactly the same posture and remained motionless, with the same size and pattern.
He secretly increased his vigilance, left the inner city directly, and returned to Tianzheng Mansion in advance.
Sure enough, a moth also stopped on the main door. He opened the door silently and his eyes darkened - one on the corridor, two on the lantern, a total of fifty-six on the door, windows, and green brick floor, all of them.
A moth with the power to control insects!
"It's too ostentatious." Xiao Qianye finally said coldly, and the long sword in his hand suddenly shot out. The sword wind swept past and directly split the dozens of moths in half.
He picked up the body of the moth on the ground, with a stern look on his face, and his red pupils were still flickering slightly, as if someone was looking at him through the moth's eyes.
The moment her sight was cut off, the Star Saint on the top of the Star-Zhaing Tower sneered and shook off the female moth in her hand. She took out another shrine and opened the lid with a trembling trembling. In the center of the shrine was a female moth.
Ants, tens of thousands of small ants crawling densely around.
The black cat jumped up and licked its owner's hand. The Star Saint touched the sleeping female ant and finally covered the shrine again.
It's not time yet... The children she has worked so hard to raise for so many years cannot be taken advantage of easily at this time.
"Sister?" On the other side, Emperor Tianquan's voice sounded loudly, "What did those moths find out?"
Star Saint shook her head, and Black Cat spoke: "Jun Pavilion, Mirror Pavilion, and Mo Pavilion all seem to be fine, but there are some difficult spells in Tianzheng Mansion, and I have been blocked from remotely controlling insects several times.
After coming down, this time I managed to hide a few of them with the help of Longyue's body. They were discovered by the military pavilion master so quickly, and they were all chopped off with a sword. Humph, it's a pity that the moths I have carefully raised for three years are of no use at all.
I can’t send it either.”
"Sure enough, it still doesn't work." Emperor Tianquan was a little disappointed, and Black Cat suddenly raised his tone, "Fourth brother, there must be something wrong with Tianzheng Mansion. Don't be too protective of Mingxi. No one dares to touch Tianzheng with him.
Zhengfu."
"Oh." Emperor Tianquan said calmly, "Sister, I have already said that I don't care what Mingxi wants or what he is doing now. As long as he doesn't hinder me, I won't care.
he."
"You are too partial to him. It's not good to dote on him." The Star Saint said sarcastically, "If you could share a little bit of this love with other princes, Mingxi wouldn't be able to cover the sky with one hand like he is today."
"He deserves this doting because he is Wen Yi's child." Emperor Tianquan made no secret of it. Star Saint Nuonuo moved her lips but was unable to refute.
"Okay, let's not mention Mingxi. Have you observed the origin of the person who was just elected in the autumn election?" Emperor Tianquan returned to the subject. Obviously, he didn't want to waste more time on the prince's issue.
Putting down this year's roster, he added, "Huangyan, it's a somewhat special name."
The Star Saint dipped some tea with a dead wood prosthesis, drew a star position on the ground, and placed a large drop of water in the center. She explained sternly: "The technique he used before leaving was to fly with the wind.
The photochemical disappeared, and if nothing else goes wrong, it should be the martial arts from the heavenly realm, but I don’t know which one it is."
Emperor Tianquan looked at the star map drawn by the Star Saint indifferently, his eyes becoming more and more stern.
"This is the Emperor Star. It is an Emperor Star other than the Ming Dynasty. It is even older than the Ming Dynasty." The Star Saint grinned, looked at her brother, continued to dip her tea in it and nodded twice, then continued
Said: "It has two very dim auxiliary stars, haha... there are two."
"Where did the Emperor Star come from?" Emperor Tianquan finally became serious, and the Star Saint murmured in a low voice, "It only appeared for a moment and then disappeared, but such an ancient Emperor Star probably came from the heaven above."
Emperor Tianquan sighed deeply and closed his eyes.
Is heaven really believable?
not necessarily.
The Night King's purpose is nothing more than to find Qiongqi, the ferocious beast that swallowed his body. To do this, he still needs the help of the three demons to restore his divine power. Now that he has successfully regained the power of the sea demon, he does not continue to pursue the victory, but wants to
Be calm for a moment, and then suddenly returned to the Heaven Realm, and even sent Feng Jiuqing to repair the cracks in the Mirror of the Moon. The Night King's move was more like a purposeful delay. What on earth could make him so distracted?
?
The Night King and Xiao Qianye once fought against each other in Biluohai, and now this Huangyan of unknown origin is also coming towards Xiao Qianye in the name of the Autumn Election. Why is the Heaven Realm so concerned about the Master of the Military Pavilion?
Emperor Tianquan was horrified—could there be any other hidden secrets between the Heavenly Realm and Tianzheng Mansion? Did the emperor's star that disappeared in a blink of an eye come from the Heavenly Realm or... Tianzheng Mansion?
"Fourth brother, you can't let yourself be so indulgent." The Star Saint reminded silently, wiping off the star map, "Is it really okay for Mingxi to protect Tianzheng Mansion again and again? Don't you believe those in the market?
Rumors, right? Those things were spread so mysteriously, but Mingxi deliberately ignored them. This was obviously a deliberate attempt to use rumors to cover up the real reason..."
Regarding the rumors that the prince had a habit of cutting off his sleeves, Emperor Tianquan had actually known about it for a long time, but he had never asked about it.
The Tianzheng Mansion massacre case eight years ago is still full of doubts. After many years of investigation by the Forbidden Army's secret department, all the responsibility can only be passed on to Feng Ji of the Lingfeng Clan. No one can find her anyway, so this matter can only be done.
Let it go.
Now that I think about it, if the leader of all spirits can be attracted to show up in person, Tianzheng Mansion must have a big problem, right?
"Hey, what I'm trying to teach you is this." Emperor Tianquan thought for a moment, "It's time to investigate Tianzheng Mansion..."
Before he finished speaking, the door of Zhaixinglou was pushed open. Gao Chengchuan strode in, unceremoniously found a chair and sat down. He put the Yan Emperor Sword in his hand and said in deep thought: "Your Majesty summoned the old minister privately, and finally
Are you planning to investigate Tianzheng Mansion?"
"Governor Gao has heard it, right?" Emperor Tianquan was not surprised. Gao Chengchuan snorted coldly, "I have been with you for more than fifty years, and I have mentioned these things to you early on, but you have never taken it to heart.
Go up, I finally realized something was wrong today, did you think of me, old minister?"
"Governor Gao is blaming me." Emperor Tianquan was helpless. His path to the throne could be said to be full of twists and turns. Before he met Wen Yi, he was in tit-for-tat with his eldest brother, Prince Minglu, and the two of them often
There will be conflicts, and Gao Chengchuan, the governor of the Forbidden Army at that time, was the biggest supporter of his faction. Later, he was in danger on the Qixue Plateau and fell in love with Shen Shou Wenyi at first sight. When he gave up the throne to marry her, Governor Gao became angry
He got seriously ill and almost resigned from his job!
Later, he got his wish and married Wen Yi, but he never expected that his wife would still be looked down upon by the nobles of the imperial capital. She was often verbally attacked, and some even secretly tried to force her to leave the imperial city.
The fourth prince that year might have really been blinded by anger. He found Gao Chengchuan again, and together they planned the earth-shattering murder of his brother and his father, and finally he sat on Feiyuan's throne.
After that, the Gao family's status was so high that they even blatantly changed the imperial army to a hereditary system. Together with the Gongsun family and Ye Zhuang, they were known as the three most powerful people.
Gao Chengchuan knew what he was thinking. He had grown up watching Emperor Tianquan. The real change in this man actually started after the death of Queen Wen Yi. Before that, even the usurpation of the throne was within his expectation.
.
"Explain all your purposes." Gao Chengchuan took a deep breath, turned to the Star Saint, and said, "Isn't it time for this person to show her true face?"
"Ha..." The Star Saint took off her mask and robe. Gao Chengchuan was shocked. The purple palace robe was embroidered with a phoenix totem. It was clearly the totem of a royal woman!
"Oh... you can't be..." He understood immediately, but still asked in disbelief. The Star Saint raised her head, her face was obviously completely ruined but she still had a permeating smile. Black Cat
The person on the side said in a weird voice: "Yes, I am exactly the person that the Governor is thinking of. Thanks to the fourth brother who still remembers me as his elder sister, I entered the Star Sacrifice Palace after escaping from the King of Binding Water Prison. In order to
She is hiding her identity from others, always presenting herself as the Star Saint, and pretending to be a puppet to the outside world."
"Oh..." Gao Chengchuan was surprised and sighed, "No wonder there has been no news about the eldest princess for so many years. It turns out that she is far away and right in front of you. However, the eldest princess revealed her identity at this time and even took the initiative to investigate Tianzheng Mansion. Old Minister
I’m curious about the reason?”
Gao Chengchuan narrowed his eyes, and the Star Saint touched her face and sneered: "The reason for this is really a coincidence. The Master of the Military Pavilion has a fellow disciple who happens to be related to me, and this fellow disciple happens to be in Feiyuan now.
within the territory.”
The black cat suddenly jumped onto Gao Chengchuan's lap and patted his hand with his paw. Gao Chengchuan looked at the black cat's round green eyes in confusion, feeling a little scared for some reason.
"The eyes of this cat are fake." Star Saint said proudly, "Back then, I was deceived by that person into taking away the symbol of imperial power, Shen Yue. Do you really think that I would do nothing? Shen Yue?
There is a spell I left behind, it is a royal secret, no one can easily discover it, and I have always known its whereabouts..."
"Then why didn't you tell me?" Gao Chengchuan asked in surprise, "As long as you tell the truth, as the eldest princess of the empire, you will not be punished like this!"
"Can you get it back if I tell you?" Star Saint asked back. Gao Chengchuan shut up knowingly. Star Saint continued, "Which of you can confidently snatch Shen Yue away from King Jialan?"
Come back? Or take it back from Kunlun Mountain? I just can't let you interfere. He deceived me so miserably. No one can retaliate against him except me! So if I don't say anything, even if King Binding Water Prison cuts off my hands and feet
, even if they bite my face with poisonous insects, I can’t say anything! Because I want to... take revenge on him personally! "
Gao Chengchuan glanced at Emperor Tianquan out of the corner of his eye. Sure enough, that man was also shocked by such a vicious tone like himself.
"I'm waiting for the opportunity. After I entered the Star Sacrifice Palace, I have been studying astrology. The stars show that one day I will succeed in revenge. Haha, hahahaha!" The broken face of the Star Saint is disgusting.
, even more crazy at this time, the black cat was affected by the owner's emotions, and even stood on tiptoe, "Fourth brother, do you know? The day the Night King found you, he took King Galan with him... Hahaha, with him
The day Feng Jiuqing returned to the imperial capital, I knew that the day indicated by the stars was not too far away. He recognized me. I was frightened at the time, for fear that he would see that I was pretending to be a puppet.
Fortunately, fortunately he didn't notice it."
Emperor Tianquan moved his lips slightly, but still did not speak.
To be continued...
