I Raise Spiders in Pansi Cave

The guard still said: "Your Majesty has orders..."

If it weren't for the antique building next to it and the ancient rattan armor of the guards, he thought he had encountered a robot.

Qi Wufei retreated helplessly, came to the garden at the back of the palace, and then flew upwards, intending to avoid the guards at the door and fly out from the side.

But as soon as he flew up, there was a wave of fluctuation in the void, and two soldiers who looked like soldiers clamped him from left to right.

"Your Majesty has orders, for the safety of the little prince, please do not go out!"

Qi Wufei was stunned for a moment, and finally realized that he was under house arrest!

To protect Yuan Xiaobao's safety?

This is a country of ghosts, fifty thousand ghosts, under the rule of the ghost king, is there anything insecure?

Yuan Mao What does this mean?

Still worried about Yuan Xiaobao, afraid of taking his throne?

At present, I can only think of this, but Qi Wufei feels that it is not that simple.

I don't know how many people are arranged around this side hall. These yin gods are not low in cultivation, and all of them are ghosts who have practiced for 2000 years.

Qi Wufei smiled at the Yin soldiers on both sides, and without explaining at all, he floated to the ground and went back to the room.

Everyone was resting at the moment, and he didn't disturb the others. After sitting in the room for a while, he disappeared and went out through the gate.

The two guards at the door stood there, motionless.Qi Wufei waited for a while, hoping that they could say something, but they were still like two logs, without saying a word.

Qi Wufei made another circle around the outside of the hall.There are at least [-] Yin gods hidden in the front, back, left, and right, blocking all the exits, and they can echo each other in position, forming a formation combined with the entire palace garden.

This is by no means protection, but real house arrest. If it is said that this is not Yuan Mao's order, Qi Dongfei would not believe it.

However, since the precautions were so strict, it meant that Yuan Mao hadn't wanted to kill Yuan Xiaobao yet. If he wanted to kill Yuan Xiaobao, he didn't need to send so many soldiers. With the ghost king's cultivation base and the ghost kingdom's strength, it should be easy to kill them.Even if there is opposition from the old ministry loyal to Yuan Tingbi in the country, it can be handled in secret.

There are only two possibilities to put them under house arrest at this time, either because they are afraid that they will run away, or because they are afraid that they will come into contact with someone.

It is estimated that Yuan Mao is not afraid that they will run away. How can he threaten his throne if they run away?

Then it is the latter, afraid that they will come into contact with some people, but who will it be?

General Yin mentioned the names of several Yuan Tingbi's former ministries, including Zhuang Heng, Zhou Xin, Liang Cai, and Yuwen Changzai, saying that these people are more trustworthy than Yuan Mao.

These few people have already met, and from the surface, they are indeed very enthusiastic about Yuan Xiaobao, and besides Yu Wenchang, the other three also expressed a firm attitude towards sending troops to rescue General Yin.

But ever since Qi Wufei thought that there might be Li Jing's internal support in the ghost country, especially Zhuang Heng's performance, he had doubts in his heart.

Li Jing must be found out, and it is best to get rid of this person, otherwise Li Jing will know Yuan Xiaobao's identity, and Yuan Xiaobao will not be able to go to Pansiling again.

As he thought about it, he walked through the ghost city street, exited the city gate, and went straight to the direction of the secret passage they came from in the east.

When I got there, I saw Yin soldiers lined up densely in front of me, and it was the five thousand soldiers led by Zhuang Heng.

Zhuang Hengli was standing on the horse, directing the crowd to move mountains and open rocks, set up formations, and continuously release mana.

Qi Wufei watched for a long time before he realized that Zhuang Heng wanted to forcibly create a passage from the inside with his magic power without destroying the barrier.

In fact, this is not impossible, because the secret path was sealed after General Yin destroyed it from the outside, but after all, it was destroyed from the outside, the internal structure is still there, and the space for collapse is very limited. As long as you can find a way to support the barrier space where the pillar collapses, Along the remnants of the old secret passage, the secret passage can be re-opened, but it may not be as smooth and spacious as before, just like the collapsed mine passage, it will always become narrower and more rugged after re-opening.

But the problem is that the enchantment space is completely different from the regular physical space. If you don't understand the enchantment formation, it's like a person who doesn't understand the structure of a house is a construction worker.Zhuang Heng obviously didn't understand it very well, and was just acting recklessly there.Although the formation of the troops looks decent, it is only a typical military formation.

Based on the study of Qi Dong Fei's formation, he has already seen the structure of the passage clearly. If he is given the 5000 troops to command, it may take a day or two to repair the secret passage.

But if Zhuang Heng does this, if he doesn't break the barrier, he may not be able to open the passage in a year or two. It is very likely that he will collapse halfway through the fight. Even if the barrier collapses, the 5000 people will be buried inside. .

This made Qi Wufei even more puzzled.

Since Zhuang Heng was so diligent and persistent in trying to open the channel, he looked like an insider; but his performance was too impatient, reckless and without strategy, Li Jing probably would not have chosen such a person as an insider, as it was easy to be seen through.

Of course it is impossible for Qi Wufei to help Zhuang Heng now. After watching for a while, he was sure that Zhuang Heng was unable to open the passage for the time being. Even if he was an inner ghost, he would not be able to send news to Li Jing for a while, so he left here and returned to the palace.

He needs to find out Yuan Mao's intentions.

Yuan Mao's cultivation base is extremely high, it's hard to say how high it is, so after Qi Dong flew into the palace, he was very careful.Although even Marshal Canopy couldn't see through his invisibility technique, if the other party sensed any abnormality and blocked the space with powerful mana and special techniques, he would be easily trapped.

The royal palace is huge, and after passing through many pavilions and halls, he finally found Yuan Mao's bedroom.

A man who looked like a general was reporting to him: "They all rested, and they looked like they were all wounded. Only the staff officer wanted to go out, saying he was going shopping, but was stopped by my people."

"That weak shrimp?" Yuan Mao raised his eyelids, seeming very interested, "This kid is interesting. Then, he went back?"

"No, he tried to fly out of the garden but was stopped and went back to his room."

"Didn't come out again?"

"No."

Yuan Mao nodded and said, "I'm afraid this person is not as simple as a staff officer, so keep an eye on him and don't let him slip out."

"Yes." The general bowed to accept the order and said yes, but couldn't help being puzzled in his heart, and asked, "The subordinates don't understand, so what if we let them go out? These people have low mana, and none of them have entered the gate of the Mahayana fairyland. It won't be a big deal."

Yuan Mao asked, "Why do you think I put them under house arrest?"

The general opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't say it.

"Do you think that I am afraid that Xiaobao will threaten my throne?"

"The subordinates dare not speculate."

Yuan Mao laughed loudly and said, "Think about it if you think about it, it's okay, I just want everyone to think like this, only in this way, some people's fox tail will show."

Chapter 690 four, ghost appearance

Yuan Mao put away his laughter, and said coldly: "Don't think I don't know, how many people in the court think that I am unworthy of virtue, but only because of blood. My brother is dead, and his son is here. Some people want to live. I just want to see how many people are against me, and how many people want me to die!"

When he said this, the general next to him was startled, and quickly lowered his head, not daring to say a word.

Qi Wufei finally understood that this Yuan Mao wanted to use Yuan Xiaobao to eliminate dissidents.

In this case, their situation is very dangerous.

Qi Wufei originally thought that as long as he stated his position, Yuan Xiaobaozhi was not here, and he would not pose a threat to Yuan Mao's throne. With his father Yuan Tingbi's prestige in the country and his blood relationship with Yuan Mao, he could at least save his life , leaving smoothly.Now it seems that my own ideas are still too ideal, I underestimate Yuan Mao's treachery, and overestimate Yuan Mao's sentiment.

A ghost that has lived for more than 2000 years has a fart sentiment!

There are dissidents in the court, and Yuan Mao dare not do anything to Yuan Xiaobao because of his scruples. After eliminating the dissidents, Yuan Xiaobao will undoubtedly die.

He had to leave before Yuan Mao made a move.

But now under house arrest, it is not easy for others to leave except for Qi Jifei who can hide himself.

Yuan Mao explained a few more words, and the general went down.Yuan Mao sat alone on the couch, frowning deeply, not knowing what he was thinking.

At this time, someone came to report that Prime Minister Yu Wenchang was asking to see him.

Qi Wufei had a good impression of Yuwen Changzai. He was not in a hurry to rescue General Yin, and he strongly opposed breaking the barrier from within. No matter what the man's intentions were, at least it showed that he was not bought by Li Jing.

"Your Majesty, I have something to worry about." Yuwen Chang said as soon as he entered.

Yuan Mao pointed to the stool next to him: "Sit down and talk, Prime Minister."

Yu Wenchang bowed and saluted: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

"What is the prime minister worried about?"

"Back to your Majesty, when the old Majesty was in power, he was sympathetic to his subordinates, and he was quite a loyal minister. Now that the young prince is back, the minister is afraid..."

"What are you afraid of?" Yuan Mao asked with narrowed eyes.

Yu Wenchang said: "I'm afraid that some people will be confused for a while and start to change hands."

Yuan Mao was not angry, and said with a half-smile: "Ting Bi gave me my seat. Now that Xiaobao is back, I will naturally give it to him."

Yu Wenchang got up quickly and shouted: "Your Majesty must not!"

"Oh? Why not?"

"My lord..." Yu Wenchang pondered for a while, "If the old lord comes back by himself, it is reasonable for the lord to abdicate. But now this little treasure is still a child, how can he take on the heavy responsibility of the king of a country? We are here two For more than a thousand years, the world has changed greatly, the sun and the moon have changed, and the outside world has long been beyond our imagination. Now is the autumn of life and death, how can we do the act of abdication? The king is in the heyday of the spring and autumn, and his cultivation is profound. Only the king , can keep Yongjin safe and lead everyone out of the crisis.”

Yuan Mao asked curiously: "What is the crisis you are talking about?"

Yu Wenchang said: "Your Majesty, what do you think about the wisdom of the old man?"

Yuan Mao closed his eyes, as if unwilling to answer this question, but when he opened his eyes, seeing Yu Wenchang was still looking at him, he could only say: "Ting Bi is naturally a dragon and phoenix among people, and his cultivation and wisdom are beyond my reach." also."

Yu Wenchang said: "The king is too modest."

Yuan Mao waved his hand and said, "It's the truth. I'm not stupid enough to be jealous of my brother's ability. Prime Minister, just speak up."

Yu Wenchang said: "Then, my lord, what do you think of the leader Yin Changtian?"

Yuan Mao said: "To make my brother follow with all his heart, naturally he is the dragon and phoenix among dragons and phoenixes, with the air of a saint."

Yu Wenchang nodded and said, "But they were still wiped out by Li Jing. I heard that Li Jing also brought a hundred thousand heavenly soldiers with him that day."

Yuan Mao snorted coldly: "Every time the Heavenly Court dispatches troops, it claims to have a number of one hundred thousand, which is just a false indication."

"Regardless of what is true or false, the Wanjiao was indeed destroyed by Li Jing. Your Majesty thinks, why did Li Jing send troops to besiege Shituoling this time?"

"Didn't Xiaobao say it today, in order to capture General Yin. We've heard about this before."

Yuwen Changzai shook his head and said, "For a General Yin, how could Li Jing mobilize his troops so much?"

Yuan Mao was taken aback for a moment, and his brows furrowed deeper: "The Prime Minister means..."

Yu Wenchang said: "Li Jing's target is definitely not only General Yin, but also our entire Yongjin Kingdom! That's why I said that this is a crisis of survival."

Yuan Mao was silent for a while, then nodded and said: "The Prime Minister's words are reasonable. However, we are protected by an enchantment. This is a sage's handwriting. How can Li Jing come in?"

"Your Majesty also said just now that it is not difficult to break the barrier from the inside."

"It's not difficult to say, but relatively speaking, it will take the power of the whole country. I have already vetoed this proposal."

"Because the king vetoed this proposal, we must be more careful."

"how do I say this?"

"Your Majesty," Yuwen Changzai bowed, "the secret way is restricted to our family's Yin God, but others can come and go freely. Li Jing is a scheming man. If he is not sure, how could he send troops to Shituoling? Your Majesty, be careful! Xiaoqiang Rebellion."

"You mean... Li Jing has already mastered the secret way, and I have Li Jing's inner support in my court?"

"That's right. The secret path is narrow, and Li Jing's army can't get in. Only by opening the barrier from the inside can he destroy our country in one fell swoop. For thousands of years, no one has ever proposed to open the barrier, but at this moment... "

"Are you talking about General Zhuang Heng?" Yuan Mao waved his hands and said, "General Zhuang is a bit straightforward, but I don't believe that he is a traitor."
