Start practicing from marrying the disfigured princess

"The extraordinary demon whose body was destroyed and only his soul remained?"

Mo Qian was stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted, turned to look at Yun Niang, and said with disbelief: "Are you the ancestor from Qingqiu Mountain?"

Since she was born, she has grown up listening to the legends of the ancestors of Qingqiu Mountain.

In the past thousand years, the only extraordinary demon in Qingqiu Mountain was destroyed by a human warrior sage in a battle twenty years ago. After that, he existed in the world in the form of a soul.

Because the foxes in Qingqiu Mountain were always called "ancestor", she only knew that there was such a person, but she didn't know his name.

Hear the words.

Yun Niang, also known as Qingying, turned to look at Mo Qian, with a gentle look in her eyes, and said: "A few years ago, I went back to Qingqiu to see you. You were still young at that time, although you were occasionally arrogant. , but it’s still cute. I haven’t been back since I entered the Great Zhou Dynasty. In the blink of an eye, I have grown so big.”

Mo Qian was in a daze and didn't know what to say for a moment.

at this time.

Ren Pingsheng on the side interrupted her, frowned and asked: "Why do you, a majestic third-grade demon, work for a small Hehuan Sect?"

Hearing this, Qingying looked at him and said calmly: "Hehuan Sect is not small. In fact, Hehuan Sect is far more powerful than you think. Throughout the eastern part of the Great Zhou Dynasty, all the mansions of frontier officials have Hehuan. A disciple of the sect.

The Hehuan Sect is also one of the top fourth-grade monks who are only one step away from becoming extraordinary. Over the years, they have been keeping a low profile. If it weren't for a certain elder who acted without authorization and attracted the attention of the court, perhaps the Jinyiwei would not be aware of the existence of this sect at all. It has threatened the Zhou court. "

When Ren Pingsheng heard this, his brows furrowed even more tightly, and after a moment he asked, "So what do you want to do by joining the Hehuan Sect?"

Qingying said: "It's not that I took the initiative to join the Hehuan Sect, it's just that my original body was destroyed by your wife, so I had no choice but to find a new one. It just so happened that this person was a saint of the Hehuan Sect."

Is there such a coincidence in the world?

Ren Pingsheng didn't believe it.

But the next second, he captured the key point of these words.

Was her original body destroyed by Chang An?

Why did Chang An do this?

the most important is.

At that time, Chang An, whose cultivation had been abolished not long ago, how could he be a match for an extraordinary demon.

Even if this extraordinary demon only has a soul and no physical body.

Just as he was about to ask, Qingying took the initiative to explain: "Back in Chunfeng Tower, I just saw that you were handsome and quite literary, so I wanted to talk to you. I had no other ideas, but your wife should be He thought I had other intentions, so he took action against me.”

Having said this, he paused and sighed: "He is worthy of being the number one genius in the Great Zhou Dynasty for thousands of years. Even if his cultivation is temporarily sealed, the strength of his soul is still comparable to the peak of the fourth level."

As soon as these words came out.

Ren Pingsheng was stunned again and muttered to himself: "Cultivation has been temporarily sealed?"

Qingying saw his surprised look, raised her eyes to look at him, and said with a half-smile: "She never mentioned this to you?"

Ren Pingsheng was silent for a second, looked at her, and said lukewarmly: "Don't talk about him, tell the truth why you work for the Hehuan Sect, otherwise I won't mind destroying your body again."

Qingying said: "As a saint of the Hehuan Sect, isn't it human nature to work for the Hehuan Sect?"

After a pause, he continued: "As for why the Hehuan Sect wants to place people beside you, it is naturally because they have heard about the deeds of the Crown Prince of Zhongan in the capital, and know that this person is a genius who has emerged from nowhere, and they want to use this to expand their influence. Expanded to the scope of the capital.

But they didn't know that the so-called prince An Guo was actually the prince Zhenbei. "

Ren Pingsheng said: "Since you know that I am not the prince of Anguo, why do you still take the initiative to send me to your door?"

Qingying said: "Why send it to the door? The Hehuan Sect wants to send its disciples to Anguo Gongfu, and I also want to take this opportunity to return to the capital, so why not do it according to the Hehuan Sect's wishes?"

When Ren Pingsheng heard this, he was slightly startled: "Don't you know that everything I do these days is intentional?"

"Did you do it on purpose?"

Qingying was also stunned and said somewhat puzzledly: "Why?"

"Of course it's to lure the snake out of its hole and destroy the Hehuan Sect!"

Ren Pingsheng knew that with Qingying's current strength, he was enough to keep her here, and he was not afraid to reveal his true purpose.

After a pause, he continued: "And, since you know my true identity, why have you never doubted my motives for doing these ridiculous things these days?"

Qingying asked in confusion: "What is the relationship between your true identity and these ridiculous things you do?"

Ren Pingsheng was speechless for a moment and took a deep breath before saying: "In your eyes, do I think this prince is someone who can do such ridiculous things? Of course, my prince did this to make the people of the Hehuan Sect relax their vigilance and think that this prince He is a hungry ghost in lust, and he doesn’t choose food when he is hungry.”

After Qingying was silent for a few seconds, he asked: "Aren't you such a person?"

"..."

Ren Pingsheng fell into silence.

at this time.

Qingying continued: "When I was at Chunfeng Tower, I saw you taking your wife and sister to visit the brothel. Now you are wandering around Jianbei City, still taking your wife and sister with you, and even taking the little girl from Longhu Mountain with you. Heavenly Master...

In addition, as far as I know, there are more women involved with you... As a consort, isn't it ridiculous to do such things?

In other words, how different are these things from what you did in Jianbeicheng as the prince of Anguo? "

"..."

Ren Pingsheng didn't know how to refute and fell completely silent.

side.

Mo Qian couldn't hold it back and chuckled, obviously agreeing with the words of Qingying, the ancestor of Qingqiu Mountain.

A long while.

Ren Pingsheng raised his eyes to look at Qingying, with a serious expression and a solemn tone: "Since you are now a saint of the Hehuan Sect, you must know the whereabouts of the leader of the Hehuan Sect."

Upon hearing this, Qingying immediately reacted and asked: "You want to kill her?"

Ren Pingsheng nodded slightly: "Yes."

Qingying repeated the previous question: "Why?"

Ren Pingsheng said: "I have my reasons."

After Qingying was silent for a few seconds, he said: "I can tell you where she is, but you may not kill her, or even... she may kill you."

Having said this, she looked him up and down and said seriously: "Other than that, it is more likely that you were captured by her and became a cauldron for her practice, getting thinner and thinner day by day until the last bit of spiritual energy was squeezed out. "

I heard these five words: the cauldron of practice.

Mo Qian's expression on the side became a little uncomfortable, but he didn't say anything.

Ren Pingsheng fell into silence when he heard this.

He didn't think Qingying was being alarmist, because it was unnecessary.

but.

He still wanted to meet the leader of the Hehuan Sect.

Not just for the tasks assigned to him by Emperor Zhaowu.

More importantly, he wanted to know how far the Hehuan Sect's disciples had penetrated the local government.

"According to Qing Ying, I alone am no match for the leader of the Hehuan Sect. Together with Mo Qian, I should be able to gain the upper hand, but I may not be able to capture her.

If I take action directly at this time, I will definitely alert the snake. It is better to stand still and wait for the right opportunity. As long as Qingying is still with me, with her identity as the saint of the Hehuan Sect, it will not be difficult to find the leader of the Hehuan Sect. "

This is the thought.

Ren Pingsheng made a decision, looked at Qingying and said: "In this case, we will act according to the plan during this period. You are still Yunniang, and I am still the eldest son of Duke An. When the situation in the court becomes more stable, I will take you with me." Returning to the capital, in exchange, I want to know the movements of the Hehuan Sect leader and the elders."

Qingying heard this, thought for a moment, and nodded slightly: "Okay."

side.

Mo Qian was a little confused when she heard the conversation between the two.

I thought: After a long time of hard work, this is the result?

It would be better to go head-to-head with the Hehuan Sect leader.

No matter what, you will definitely not lose in the end.

This is the thought.

She opened her mouth, wanting to speak.

Right now.

There was a sound of footsteps outside the house.

This was followed by a soft call from the madam.

"Master?"

this late.

What is this madam doing here?

Hear her voice.

The three people in the room fell silent instantly.

Ren Pingsheng winked at Mo Qian.

Mo Qian was stunned for a moment before she realized what she was thinking.

Immediately afterwards, her face changed, and in just a few breaths she turned into her original disguised appearance.

This is the illusion of Qingqiu Mountain. Unless you are a fourth-grade monk or above, it is extremely difficult to discover.

Ren Pingsheng glanced at Mo Qian and saw that there was no problem, so he said in an impatient tone: "What's the matter?"

The old bustard said hurriedly: "I really deserve to be disturbed by you late at night, but the magistrate just came here in person and told me to hand over this document to you this morning, so I..."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Ren Pingsheng: "What document is more important than my master's rest?"

After saying that, he followed up with: "Send it in!"

"Yes, sir!"

The madam didn't dare to say anything, so she opened the door carefully and walked in.

Looking up, he found that in addition to the Yun Niang who came at noon today, there was also the girl who was forcibly abducted from the street by Mr. Bai two days ago.

"This Mr. Bai from the Duke's Mansion really... knows how to enjoy things."

The madam sighed in her heart, but still had a smile on her face, and handed over the document handed to her by the prefect with both hands.

Ren Pingsheng reached out and took the document. He did not open it directly, but glanced at the Madam.

The old bustard understood immediately and hurriedly saluted: "I will not disturb the young master's rest, please leave..."

After that, he left the house.

Ren Pingsheng held the ordinary-looking document in his hand and frowned slightly.

When he was in the northern border, he also served as the chief official in the yamen for a period of time.

Naturally, I am very familiar with such documents. This is Di Bao, also called Chao Bao.

Each major state capital has offices in the capital. These people will regularly record the emperor's edicts, edicts, and some of the more important officials' memorials and other official documents. Every once in a while, messengers will ride fast horses. It is sent to the yamen of each state government for review by the chief officer.

Some documents will also be posted on the notice board for people to read.

The reason why the Jianbei magistrate sent this document to him late at night must be because something big happened in the capital.

Otherwise, something happened in Anguo Palace.

After all, in his eyes, he was the prince of Anguo.

"Is it possible that Duke An Guo died?"

Ren Pingsheng opened the document while thinking wildly.

After just one glance, he froze on the spot, his mouth slightly open, with a look of surprise on his face.

aside.

When Mo Qian saw this scene, she was immediately curious and got behind him. The first thing she saw was two words: "Crown Prince..."

After reading this, she, like Ren Pingsheng, widened her eyes, opened her mouth slightly, and looked incredulous.

After a while, she looked at Ren Pingsheng with a strange expression and said, "Are you going to be the Crown Princess?"

"..."

Ren Pingsheng's mouth twitched, and he was speechless for a moment.

That's right.

The report sent by the prefect of Jianbei only had one content.

Two days ago, Emperor Zhaowu issued an imperial decree to enthrone the former Princess Chang'an Liu Ruyan as the Crown Prince of Dazhou and enter the East Palace!

This report was sent by the prefect of Jianbei.

There is a high probability that it will not be wrong.

After all, no one would risk being beheaded to forge such a document.

The reason why Ren Pingsheng was surprised was not only because Chang'an was enthroned as the Crown Prince, but also because Emperor Zhaowu acted so quickly.

In fact.

Long before, when the eunuch Wang Zheng gave him the task of clearing out the martial arts sects, he mentioned this matter.

At that time.

He analyzed the possibility of Chang'an being enthroned as the Crown Prince.

As a prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the Prince of Jin appeared to be wise and benevolent, but in fact, he was secretly plundering the people's wealth. When he failed to achieve his goal, he cooperated with the demon tribe to assassinate his own sister.

Although she was not his sister from the same mother, her evil intentions and viciousness were evident.

The most important thing is.

All the things he did were discovered.

This shows that he is not only vicious, but also stupid.

Unless Emperor Zhaowu was old and confused, he would never make such a person the crown prince.

Among the other princes, only the Prince of Ning was qualified to compete for the position of the crown prince.

It stands to reason.

The Prince of Ning had a certain amount of military power, and he must have been deeply trusted and valued by Emperor Zhaowu.

So in recent years, many officials in the court have determined that the Prince of Ning will enter the East Palace in the future.

But the Prince of Ning did things just the opposite of the Prince of Jin, and acted on his own.

If anyone angered him, he would dare to break the three legs of a marquis' eldest son in front of several dukes.

Even though he was severely punished, he still looked like he didn't care.

Such a person can be an emperor, but he is obviously not the first choice in Emperor Zhaowu's mind.

As for the remaining princes, they are all useless.

In this case.

It is reasonable to consider enthroning Chang'an as the crown prince.

Even before Chang'an's cultivation was abolished, Chang'an had a high prestige among the people because of his outstanding military exploits.

Many people did not object to Princess Chang'an becoming the future empress, which laid the foundation for her to be enthroned as the crown prince.

However.

The current situation is different from before.

Now is a time of turmoil.

Prince Ning still holds the military power.

Chang'an's cultivation has not yet recovered, and may never recover.

In Ren Pingsheng's eyes.

In this case.

Even if Emperor Zhaowu wanted to enthronize Chang'an, he should have made preparations in advance.

At least wait for Prince Ning to hand over the military power and return to the capital.

Who would have thought.

Suddenly, he sent Chang An to the East Palace with an imperial edict.

For a moment, Ren Pingsheng really didn't know what the emperor meant.

At this moment.

He suddenly had a strong desire to go back to the capital to see what happened.

So.

He asked Mo Qian, "Can your illusion trick a third-grade cultivator?"
