The second prince was bleeding from the corner of his mouth and fainted on the ground. He didn't know whether he was alive or dead. The guards beside him yelled angrily and drew their swords to surround Cheng Zhi'an, Cui Hao and the others.

Cui Hao was furious. The long sword vibrated slightly in its sheath. Countless sword energy burst out. Dozens of guards had fallen to the ground. Their wrists or calves were covered with tiny sword energy wounds, dripping with blood and wailing.

All the people around had already fled far away. This was the imperial capital. Those young people dared to beat the emperor half to death at his feet, and now they did it in front of the emperor's attendants. How outrageous was this.

Audacious.

Some scholars who were good at thinking were thoughtful, thinking that these people must be complaining about the Ninth Prince just now.

Cui Hao turned around and said to Cheng Zhi'an and others: "Brother came to Kyoto for the sake of the people of this city and for the great righteousness in his heart. Now that Taishiyuan does not want to be the son of a man, I am willing to go and ask for justice for my brother. Don't you dare?

dare?"

Lu Han had the hottest temper. If Changsun Daosheng hadn't stopped him, he would have cut off the second prince's head just now. He immediately shouted: "You ask us what we mean by this? Let alone Taishiyuan, who here is not willing to do it for

Will my brother go through fire and water?"

General Tiance Yu Wenchu ​​was hiding behind the crowd. Originally, based on his duty, he should have stepped forward to stop the royal disciples when he saw them being injured. However, he recalled every scene he saw today and glanced at the aftermath of the battle on the horizon. Instead, he felt

The misfortune of the second prince gave rise to joy.

He quietly followed the crowd and watched those people walking towards Taishiyuan, thinking to himself: If I have the opportunity, I can also contribute to the Ninth Prince, that would be good too.

This first-rank general in Kyoto finally turned into the shape of Li Chen.

Inside the Taishi Courtyard.

The imperial master put away the last chess piece on the chessboard. A Taoist priest outside the courtyard reported: "The Taoist priest, Cui Hao of the Cui family, the eldest daughter of the Cheng family, Sun Daosheng, the eldest grandson, and Lu Han of the Lu family are all outside, saying that if they don't let it go,

After killing the Ninth Prince, he set fire to Taishiyuan."

The Imperial Master stood up and said to Zhong Taibai on the side: "Junior brother, go and see, these people are not your opponents."

What was different from the past was that Zhong Taibai did not leave immediately after receiving the order. Instead, he asked: "Brother, the Ninth Prince saved a whole city of people and never really provoked the Taishiyuan. Why do you need to do this?"

The Imperial Master paused slightly and said: "Each creature in this world has its own destiny. I had known that the people of Kyoto would be unscathed today. Even if the Ninth Prince was not around, there would be others who would come to save their lives. In this case, this matter

What does it have to do with the Ninth Prince? As for the conflict between him and our Taishi Academy, this is also fate."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and walked into the backyard, leaving Zhong Taibai speechless and hesitant. After a long while, he sighed.

The imperial master walked through several paths and entered a secret room. There was a clever mechanism in the room connected to a dungeon. There were seven or eight prisoners in the dungeon, and Li Chen was locked in the deepest part.

Hearing the footsteps of the Imperial Master, Li Chen opened his eyes. He was still surrounded by a cursed seal cage, which blocked his meridians and prevented him from using his Yuan Power. Outside the cursed seal cage, there was a formation made of fine steel.

Cage.

Outside the prison cage, the Imperial Master smiled and said: "Ninth Prince, you are fine after the battle at Luo Yuyuan."

He looked at the young man in the cage and saw that even though he was behind bars, his magnanimity had not diminished at all. He seemed to be living in a high hall, wearing the most elegant and luxurious clothes in the world. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Even as an enemy, he couldn't help but feel sad.

Appreciation and admiration.

Li Chen's expression was calm, and there was no hint of sadness or anger. Instead, he looked like the imperial master in front of him was just a clown, and he could not be allowed to have any mood swings.

The Imperial Master didn't care about his silence, but asked again: "Ninth Prince, is it worth it for you to go to Kyoto and become a prisoner?"

Li Chen spoke up this time and asked: "In the eyes of the imperial master, are the millions of people in Kyoto inferior to me, who is white?"

The Imperial Master said to himself: "Your Majesty once said that people's hearts can be deceived. Now, although you are praised by the people in the city, in three years at most, how many people in Kyoto will remember you?"

The two people asked and answered questions, but they always answered incorrectly and without any logic. However, every word they said was meant to penetrate into the other person's heart.

Li Chen shook his head and said with a smile: "Master, in the past few months, I have carefully read the various classics of your Taishi Academy. You always say that the law is natural, so you must follow the way of heaven. Everyone has a destiny, but how many times have I and you

After getting in touch, I still want to warn the Imperial Master that you may have taken the wrong path and distorted the thousands of years of Taishiyuan's inheritance."

The Imperial Master's face finally slowly turned livid.

Kyoto City, outside Taishiyuan.

Cui Hao and others fought against Zhong Taibai. Several people surrounded Zhong Taibai, but for a while they couldn't tell the winner.

"I've already seen that you, a little Taoist priest, are not a good person!" Cheng Zhi'an scolded angrily.

Zhong Taibai's face turned green and red. He was already feeling guilty, but now he wanted to crawl into a crack in the ground.

Lu Han had been looking at his face, and then whispered: "We also know that you were ordered by your senior brother to ride a tiger and be unable to dismount. In your heart, you actually admire my senior brother, right? In this case, you might as well pretend to be defeated and let go

How many of us should go in and take a look? This way we won't disobey your senior brother's orders, and we won't become unjust villains."
