Shortly after Liu Sangu ran down the mountain, Prince Lu Huai and Eunuch Liu also said goodbye and left.

Chen Ji saw that the faces of these two people were not very good, especially Eunuch Liu, whose face was already feminine because he was a eunuch. When he left, his face was so gloomy that ice could freeze.

Hongye Mountain has beautiful scenery, and many wealthy businessmen and warriors built their villas on the mountain.

The news just now must have been spread, and there will definitely be a lot of discussion in the county town tomorrow, wondering whether Thief Saint Liu Sangu has heard any news from the court.

However, Chen Ji estimated that this Thief Saint would not dare to tell anyone about the strange things he encountered tonight.

"Thank you, nephew, for reminding me."

After a while, Lu Rui came to the back house and went directly to her daughter's study. She was not surprised when she saw Chen Ji and thanked him with a smile.

He didn't even look at his daughter.

"Princess Mother."

Xia Shumin made a blessing ceremony, lowered his head, and said in a soft voice: "Why do you say goodbye so hastily to the prince's cousin? My cousin hasn't seen him for sixteen years, so it's better to meet him to avoid having to deal with him on the street in the future.

I wouldn’t recognize him even if I saw him on the street.”

Chen Ji almost lived in Bengbu.

What cousin? I haven’t seen my cousin for sixteen years.

This sentence clearly refers to herself, who actually only now knows that her mother is a princess.

Lu Rui stretched out her finger and tapped her daughter's smooth forehead, and said sadly: "I'm not doing this for your own good!"

"What royal rules are the princess talking about? Why can't my daughter understand?"

"You don't understand, do you? Ask your uncle to make you a princess someday, and marry you to Khitan in two years, or marry you to Dali and get married, and let you live in the grasslands, ride horses, live in tents, and drink cow and goat milk for the rest of your life."

"Oh, mother, I don't want it."

The little lady who hated barbarians the most finally got scared and threw herself into her mother's arms like a spoiled brat.

"good."

The two of them performed a show of loving mother and daughter in front of Chen Ji.

"Auntie, is it okay to let the Thief Saint escape?"

The three of them sat in the study and talked about what had just happened.

Liu Sangu's eight steps of lotus covered several miles in the blink of an eye. As the supreme master, Eunuch Liu immediately gave up the pursuit.

However, in Chen Ji's eyes it was still very slow.

"It doesn't matter."

Lu Rui said: "Although Thief Saint Liu San was listed as a devil by the court because of his three visits to the palace, he was also unruly and was accused and reviled by many well-known and decent people, but he did not kill innocent people indiscriminately, he could be regarded as both good and evil.

A character.

My dear nephew, you were right not to take action."

Visiting the palace three times? This is too bold!

Xia Shumin on the side snickered at Chen Ji, as if to say, look, my mother also agrees with me.

Chen Ji smiled at her and asked: "The emperor really will let the soldiers surround and kill the real dragon?"

Before, he thought that the Emperor of Zhao was seeking death, but after seeing the rain of arrows, he had to admit that maybe the 100,000 troops mobilized would really have a chance to shoot down the real dragon flying in the sky.

The real dragon seems not to be fully formed yet, and currently it only shows the ability to fly into the sky, escape from the earth, and move clouds and spread rain.

Of course, the premise is that the real dragon hidden in the mountains and rivers appears, otherwise others will not be able to find where the dragon is lurking.

"If he has the chance, he will issue an order."

Lu Rui said calmly: "When I lived in the palace in the past, I didn't know much about him. I had the impression that he was a prince with a gloomy temperament. He gained great power not long after he ascended the throne and had many means. Your uncle said that the current emperor is very generous.

No minister can question me, it is uncomfortable to be an official in the capital."

After saying that, Lu Rui took another deep look at Chen Ji: "If he is stupid and offends the immortal, my nephew does not need to look at Shu Min's face, just let him go and do whatever he wants."

Chen Ji smiled and said, "A real dragon is invisible. It would be difficult for ordinary people to see even one of its scales and claws, let alone surround and kill it."

"Isn't it lurking in the deep pool?" Lu Rui was a little surprised.

"No, its form is hidden in the mountains and rivers."

Chen Ji's mind moved slightly, and soon, a fiery red black bird flew in from the window, landed on his hand, opened his mouth and took a mouthful of the wisp of immortal energy that Chen Ji fed to it.

With this phoenix here, Xia Mansion's safety is still guaranteed.

Chen Ji threw the phoenix to the little lady and let her hold it in her arms and ravage it. After chatting with them for a while, he said goodbye and left.

…

At the foot of Hongye Mountain.

Lu Huai, who returned to the camp, sat in the coach's tent, with several people sitting on the left and right.

Among them were officials from the Eastern Palace and children from aristocratic families. They were all Lu Huai's confidants and he would discuss all major matters with them.

"Your Highness."

The young man sitting on the right held a sword in his arms and said with great interest: "The county guard's wife who was born in the Asking Immortal Valley, I am afraid she already knows who the land immortal is, maybe she is the old person asking the immortal?

"

Tonight Lu Huai paid a visit to the Xia Mansion, and it was Eunuch Liu who came to visit the disciples of Wenxian Valley to see the old man Wenxian, rather than to see the Seventh Princess.

"I agree with Brother Wenyan."

"Some people say that the book "Zhao Sanhen" came from the county governor's house, and was later confiscated and sealed by Xia Yongcheng. After that, the heavenly gate opened and dragons and phoenixes appeared. The three must be related!"

"It is really unexpected that the wife of the little-known county governor of Yongkang County is actually a member of the world and a great master."

"I wonder how powerful the land gods are. Can an army of ten thousand kill them?"

"If it takes an army of ten thousand to kill him, then the name of land god is appropriate."

Everyone in the camp discussed for a while, and finally looked at the prince who was sitting on the throne.

"What do you think, Mr. Fang?"

Lu Huai looked at a tall, thin man with a long beard sitting on the left.

This man's name is Fang Ji. He has no official position, no fame, and no martial arts training. He hangs out in brothels all day long and is often drunk.

But he has some tricks up his sleeve and is valued by the prince.

"Your Highness."

Francis lazily held up his hand and said, "Your Highness has a strange person to help you this time, so why discuss it anymore? Just wait patiently."

"Strange person?"

"Looking at the palace three times, what is it but a strange person?"

Francis laughed.

"Liu Sangu?"

Lu Huai's mind was racing, and he quickly figured out the connection, and laughed: "I'm just impatient, so I'll let someone else go and find out what's going on in the governor's mansion on my behalf."

Liu Sangu's words before leaving, coupled with the book "Zhao Sanhen", were enough to make many people excited and use various means to visit Xia Mansion.

If there are more people exploring, there will naturally be some clues revealed.

Lu Huai was in a good mood.

"Your Highness, do you still want to kill the dragon?"

Zhai Wenyan asked suddenly. He was holding a sword in his arms. The hilt had extremely exquisite patterns. It should be a rare sword.

"dragon……"

Lu Huai had a headache.

This thing can't be killed, nor can it be released. By coincidence, it flew past the capital and passed over the palace, but it didn't stop for even a moment.

No wonder his father was furious and ordered him to kill the evil dragon.

Everyone here did not speak, although they felt that if they wanted to kill the real dragon in the sky with the power of mortals on earth, they would have to pay a huge price, not to mention that they did not know the relationship between the real dragon, the phoenix, and the land gods.

But this matter is related to imperial power. If the land god can command the real dragon, let alone the current 50,000 troops, even if the 500,000 elite troops guarding the border are transferred back, they will be killed.

"First go to the deep pool and place the sacrifices."

Lu Huai made a decision: "Whether it comes out or not, the sacrifice will be placed for seven days, and then I will ask my father to make a decision."

Everyone nodded and felt relieved. They had an army of fifty thousand, but they did not dare to caress the dragon's beard easily.

"actually."

Fang Ji suddenly spoke and looked at Lu Huai: "This might be an opportunity."

Everyone present felt a chill in their hearts, and all looked at the prince.

"Finding the land gods is indeed an opportunity to break through the realm of martial arts."

Lu Huai laughed and left the table.
