Qu Mingkun looked at Shen Chen who was walking towards him step by step, and said silently: "How long have you been looking at it?"

Shen Chen lowered his head and said: "Since the second prince ordered his subordinates to take people to check on His Majesty, his subordinates have never stayed away."

"Then is it funny for you to see Ben Gong like this?" Qu Mingkun raised his head and asked directly.

Shen Chen knelt down and said, "Don't dare!"

"Now that you've seen it all, you can go about your business."

He patted his clothes and stood up, the look of dejection on his face was wiped away, all the signs of poisoning before were faked, "I gave him a chance, but he didn't cherish it, so don't blame me for not being sympathetic."

Shen Chen remained silent, corpses piled up around him like a mountain, all of them were attendants of the second prince, he glanced at these corpses sideways, and a trace of complexity flashed in his eyes when he looked at the second prince.

After all, Wen Renhuang didn't have the guts to meet Fengtian face to face, he took advantage of Huo Xiao's inattention and ran away, wanting to find Fengtian before Fengtian found Huo Xiao.

He didn't dare to think if Fengtian would really do something today, why did the gentle and elegant leader on Qihuang Mountain harbor such evil intentions in his heart, and when he regained his spiritual power, what's wrong with them returning to Qihuang Mountain together?

"Feng Tian!"

He walked through the woods, and saw Feng Tian in a plain long gown, he didn't even wear a mask today.Feng Tian was talking to Peacock, behind him was a woman wrapped in a thick veil, whose figure was somewhat familiar, but he couldn't recognize it for a while.

The Fengtian at this moment is different from usual, so Wen Renhuang dare not just appear in front of him like this.

"You said he's gone?" Feng Tian's voice suddenly rose, causing him to shrink back again in fright.

The vulture who was scolded by him bowed his head and said: "I don't worry about going back to take a look, and found that there is no second prince among the corpses on the ground."

The expression on Feng Tian's face changed: "He lied to me again!"

The vulture's voice remained unchanged: "My sword has stabbed him, and he cannot be safe without an antidote. Maybe the second prince was taken away."

Feng Tian narrowed his eyes and said: "The little fox is as unpredictable as the old fox, he must have guessed that I will kill him when I come today."

Vulture bowed his head and remained silent, Peacock was still dressed in red today, he frowned and walked from behind Fengtian and said, "King Feng, the Second Prince is on alert now, the troops deployed by Crow in the palace can act now."

"The old emperor and King Duan are still on the mountain, is it too early to make arrangements now?" Vulture hesitated.

"Wouldn't it be nice if we could catch them all in one go on the way down the mountain?" Peacock raised his eyebrows.

Vulture remained silent, waiting for Fengtian's response.

I saw Fengtian's face was calm, looking at the direction when he came, he said softly: "Peacock, stand still, I think it's deceitful."

Peacock's beautiful face changed slightly, but she quickly recovered and said, "Yes."

"Qihuang Mountain has protected Daqi since ancient times, and it is dependent on the imperial court. Although our actions will catch them off guard, the military power has changed in recent days. If we happen to hit the gunpoint of the new general, we will lose more than we gain." Feng Tian said with a gloomy expression. .

Wen Renhuang's heart moved, the military power he said had changed, did he mean that Emperor Longbao had just handed over the military talisman to Huo Xiao?But Huo Xiao, as the number one celebrity in Daqi now, shouldn't he have guessed the soldier talisman long ago...

"Hmph, I really didn't expect that an ordinary person could compete with Qihuang Mountain and Duanwangfu." Peacock said disdainfully.

Vulture hesitated and said, "Do you want me to investigate the details of that person in the next few days?"

Feng Tian said: "No, just take the Son of Heaven to order the princes." After speaking, he turned around and got on his horse, pulling the reins.

A look of excitement flashed in Peacock's eyes, and he followed immediately.

Wen Renhuang hid behind the tree and peeped at what the few people were doing, and couldn't help taking a deep breath.

The emperor clearly handed the soldier talisman into Huo Xiao's hands, and where did the person they were talking about come from? Now that Hei Luan has just exited the center of the vortex, another person has appeared. Is it because he is too ignorant or The situation is now getting out of control.

The sound of horseshoes in the distance gradually faded away, Wen Renhuang sneaked out from behind the tree, frowning tightly: "Take the emperor to make the princes..."

Either the missing second prince they said, or the emperor who is with Huo Xiao now.

"If you don't seek death, you will not live in peace." He sighed, and ran in the opposite direction to the direction where the few people left.

Huo Xiao frowned tightly. He couldn't figure out what the emperor was thinking. The interest he showed in Wen Renhuang just now was something he had never seen for many years. Fourth prince, what is the purpose of this, and let me take good care of him?

"Huo Xiao, that child is from Qihuang Mountain, right? How did you know him?" Emperor Longbao sat in the pavilion and looked at him with a smile.

Huo Xiao's thick black eyebrows were drawn together again: "Return to Your Majesty, it's a benefactor that I...befriended when I was young."

He had expected that Wen Renhuang was really that little phoenix, but after confirming it, he couldn't accept it for a while.As early as the first time Ning An saw him being stripped of his shirt by Qu Ning and pressed to the ground, he felt an inexplicable throbbing in his heart.

The unknown familiarity of a stranger.

Afterwards, he took him back to the palace. After several tests, he found that he really had no spiritual power, and there was no threat other than kung fu and self-protection. This made him doubt whether Wen Renhuang was a phoenix again.

Coming from Qihuang Mountain, he is a strange spirit but has no spiritual power. If it is not for the conspicuous scabbard hanging on his waist, I am afraid that I will really miss him.

Emperor Longbao saw that his complexion changed several times, and asked: "I don't think that child looks like something in the pool, but what kind of important person?"

"No, he has no spiritual power." Huo Xiao shook his head.

Although I don't know why he lost his spiritual power after so many years, but now that Qihuang Mountain is making enemies everywhere in the imperial court, it is a good thing that he has no spiritual power.

"This is strange. As far as I know, people without spiritual power will not be able to descend to Mount Huangshan for the rest of their lives."

Emperor Longbao said slowly, his eyes narrowed.

Huo Xiao had a thought, he didn't know how to explain this matter, let alone how to hide it, it seemed that he had to catch that brat and interrogate him.

"I don't know. When I was young, I didn't know how to detect the spiritual power of the phoenix. But now, there is indeed no sign of the spiritual power that phoenixes have in his meridians and dantian." He lowered his head and said in a deep voice.

"I don't have any spiritual power..." Emperor Longbao's voice slowly dropped, and the rare look in his eyes gradually dimmed.

Huo Xiao couldn't grasp his thoughts for a moment, so he stopped talking, his eyes swept outside the pavilion, Shen Chen was bandaging the wound of the second prince, the guards they brought up the mountain, and the people who were arranged beside the second prince were all attacked and killed .

Shen Chen remained silent, only hearing the second prince sigh: "I really didn't expect that there would be thieves on Zijin Mountain purposely rushing towards us on this trip."

Emperor Longbao stroked his beard and said, "Ming Kun, look, if you had listened to me back then and practiced martial arts diligently, you might not have been injured so badly because of Xiaoxiao's attack."

At this time, Qu Mingkun's face was pale, and he said with a wry smile: "Father, it's not that you don't know that I have not inherited your martial arts talent. At most, I can write a few words with a pen. If you want to say martial arts, I am really powerless."

Huo Xiao looked at him silently, Shen Chen intentionally or unintentionally glanced at Huo Xiao when he was bandaging his wound, the two understood each other.

"Alas..." Emperor Longbao sighed and turned to look at the sky.

Qu Mingkun smiled intentionally or unintentionally, and nodded slightly to Huo Xiao.

"Your Highness, may I ask, do you ever know who attacked you?" Huo Xiao asked slowly.

The second prince thought for a while, and said: "The light yellow robe is about to be established."

Emperor Longbao moved slightly, and asked without turning around: "Is that man holding a strange weapon?"

strange?

Huo Xiao's heart moved, the light yellow clothes he naturally thought of was the "Feng Tian" that Wen Renhuang called that night, and was it strange?What kind of strange weapon is that?

Qu Mingkun nodded: "Although the man didn't do it himself, he just ordered others to stab my son. He did hold a strange weapon in his hand, and my son couldn't tell what it was."

really?

Of course it is fake!

Qu Mingkun knew very well about the royal family and Qihuang Mountain. At this time, the old emperor asked him that he was just taking Emperor Longbao to his desired goal.

"Yin Tianhammer," Emperor Longbao read slowly, "Prince Feng personally went out."

Huo Xiao was taken aback for a moment, and asked through gritted teeth, "Feng Wang?"

Emperor Longbao's complexion was also very different: "After the ancestors of the emperors passed away, they would be sent to Qihuang Mountain, where King Feng would chop up the corpses with a sky-leading hammer, attracting heavenly objects and birds to eat them."

Qu Mingkun said blankly: "It turns out that this is what was used in the sky burial that I heard before."

Emperor Longbao smiled sarcastically: "Yes, the hammer in their hands was used to chop up the corpses of the royal family. I really don't know how our ancestors endured such disobedience since ancient times and regarded them as the gods of great enlightenment." .”

Qu Mingkun frowned: "Then...Father, what are they doing this time?"

"For Daqi, for the throne." Emperor Longbao sighed.

Huo Xiao clenched his fists tightly, and what flashed in his eyes was the tragic death of his father and brother.

This hatred has reached the point where it can no longer be tolerated.

Ever since he found out that the death of his father and brother might be related to Mount Qihuang, he searched everywhere for evidence, and the crow seemed to have discovered his intentions, and the stumbling blocks for him over the years were never simple.

But he won't let them go so easily, their relatives are dead, and they must pay with their lives.

"Since they can't wait, then I will fulfill them," Emperor Long Bao turned around and said, "Huo Xiao, let's act."

Qu Mingkun's face froze for a moment, and then he whispered: "Father, my son is willing to accompany King Duan."

Emperor Longbao glanced at him with complicated eyes.

Qu Mingkun did not avoid his gaze, and said again: "My son is willing to join with King Duan to repel the rebels and thieves!"

Huo Xiao glanced at him lightly, and said in a low voice: "I am willing to swear to the death to protect the safety of the second prince."

"It's up to you." Emperor Longbao shook his head, "Guard Shen, you can send a signal to let the army down the mountain search the mountain. If there is any resistance, shoot and kill!"
