Chapter 80 Zhu Neng

Liu Xia stood outside the cell and couldn't help sighing when she heard Dongmei and Liu Mei crying in the cell.

Xiang Dongmei still remembers his wife and children in her heart, which at least shows that other people's nature has not been extinguished, but he still has to bear the crimes he has committed.

Although Liu Xia has not seen the viciousness of the Huolian religion with his own eyes, he can know one or two by thinking about the rampantness of the holy religion in the northwest.

These cults have basically not done any good things and have made the local miasmoky, which cannot be tolerated.

After about half an hour, Liu Mei came out of the cell with the child. When she saw Liu Xia, she made a blessing for Liu Xiawei and left with the child.

Naturally, Dabao sent Liu Mei back to his room. At this moment, Liu Xia entered Xiang Dongmei's cell.

Xiang Dongmei became haggard a lot in a trance. She sat at the stone table one by one and couldn't help sighing.

Liu Xia sat opposite him and was silent.

After a long time, Xiang Dongmei took a deep breath and said, "Prince Weiyuan, can you really keep your word?"

"Naturally, your wife and children, I will send them back to Mingyue Jianzong. I think it's much safer to go back to their sect than to wander around the world. However, I'm too busy to take care of myself during this period, and I still have to wait for the Onmyoji case to be completed. Otherwise, I'm afraid there will be more trouble on the road.

Liu Xia nodded and said.

"Well, I believe that the prince is honest and will never lie to me. I knew to Dongmei that I could not absolve myself from death. The life of his wife and children was entrusted to the prince.

said to Dongmei.

"You can rest assured. I promised you to protect them well, and I will do it.

"Well, what does the prince want to know?"

Xiang Dongmei said frankly.

"Let's start with Zhu Neng first."

Liu Xia said with a smile.

"It's a long story. When I was teaching in the Southern Fire Lotus, I heard the name of Zhu Neng. At that time, Zhu Neng was already the master of the southern green forest, and the whole southern green forest was ahead of him. Later, the Huolian Sect was besieged by the court. I had no choice but to accidentally meet Zhu Neng. At that time, I didn't know that he was Tuoba Lingyun. Since then, I have been following him.

Saying this, Xiang Dongmei got up and said, "Later, by chance, I knew his real identity. From then on, I went back to Longdu with him to deal with some shady things for him."

"How many soldiers and horses are there under his men?"

Liu Xia asked curiously.

"The spies of the Metropolitan Inspect are all over the country. As far as I know, in recent years, Tuoba Lingyun has ruled out dissidents in the Metropolitan Court and has taken all the senior management of the Metropolitan Inspection Institute under his banner. Many thousands of households in various places are his confidants. For the Metropolitan Inspects alone, I think there are at least more than 20,000 people. Of course, this is just a guess. I don't know the specifics.

said to Dongmei.

"Where is the green forest?"

Liu Xia asked.

"Tuoba Lingyun has always been cold-blooded and ruthless. At first, the green forest in the south of the Yangtze River was a plate of loose sand. I heard that he started from Qingfeng Village. At that time, there were less than 2,000 people. But later, he continued to annex other green forest heroes. When I surrendered to him, as long as there were more than 50,000 people in Jiangnan Green Forest, and it has continued to grow over the years, I think the number of people should have exceeded this number for a long time.

said affirmatively to Dongmei.

When Liu Xia heard this, she had some bottom in her heart.

It's just that there is a problem that has been bothering Liu Xia, that is, Tuoba Lingyun, do you want to be the emperor or help others be the emperor?

"To Dongmei, what do you think Tuoba Lingyun raised so many private troops for?"

"This..., Your Highness, it's hard for me to answer this. At that time, the fire lotus religion was in full swing in the south, and I also had a dream of becoming an emperor. Later, after the Huolian Uprising, I found that things were far from that simple. If you are not born of a clan, it is difficult to win the throne of this emperor. I understand this truth, and Tuoba Lingyun will not understand it. But what puzzled me was that at first, I did suspect that Tuoba Lingyun was working for others, but later, I found that he didn't seem to obey anyone.

said to Dongmei.

"Did you know that Tuoba Lingyun knows a top master or not? The cultivation of that master is something you have never seen or heard of?"

Liu Xia asked curiously.

"I know."

said to Dongmei indifferently.

Hearing this, Liu Xia couldn't help but be shocked. She hurriedly stood up and asked, "What? Do you know that person? Who is he?"

"I've only seen that master once. I guess that kind of realm should be the legendary Holy Spirit realm. Although I don't know who the master is, I can be sure that the master is the person of Princess Chang'an.

After talking to Dongmei, Liu Xia suddenly stopped talking.

"Princess Chang'an?"

Liu Xia couldn't help asking.

"Yes, that time I followed Tuoba Lingyun to destroy a gang of horse gangs. He accidentally broke into the fief of Princess Chang'an. In that case, I saw the master. That master seemed to be very familiar with Tuoba Lingyun. On that day, he not only helped us eliminate those people, but also personally sent us out of the princess's fiefdom.

said affirmatively to Dongmei.

At this moment, Liu Xia's head was a little confused. Originally, she thought that the emperor's group of sons were messy enough, but her aunt was not a fuel-efficient lamp.

Looking at the situation last night, it was obvious that the master came to save Tuoba Lingyun.

If it's just out of friendship to save Tuoba Lingyun, that's it.

But if it is not simply to save Tuoba Lingyun, but to protect Tuoba Lingyun, this is complicated.

This means that the owner behind Tuoba Lingyun may be the eldest princess, Liu Xia's aunt.

Does the eldest princess also want to be the emperor?

Liu Xia couldn't help but make a bold guess.

In the history of the Dragon Soul Continent, there was a great female emperor. Of course, it was during the Great Wei Dynasty.

The female emperor, the famous Yuanqing Emperor in history, ruled the Wei Dynasty for more than 100 years.

And the female emperor is the sister of the previous emperor.

Does Princess Chang'an also have this ambition?

Liu Xia is not sure at present, and all this is also speculation.

"Your Majesty, have you seen that master?"

Xiang Dongmei looked at Liu Xia's uncertain expression, so she asked curiously.

"Well, I duel with Tuoba Lingyun last night, and the last master appeared. I came back lucky to live."

Liu Xia said with lingering palpitation.

"That master obviously has known Tuoba Lingyun for many years. As for what the relationship is, the villain is not sure. However, the little man found something from their conversation.

"What?"

"Well, this Tuoba Lingyun seems to have had a relationship with the eldest princess. Of course, this is just a small guess.

He hurriedly explained to Dongmei.

When Liu Xia heard this, she suddenly remembered something.

Tuoba Lingyun's son, Xiao Guogong, was full of evil deeds. The emperor ordered Xue Ge to hear the case, but Xue Gelao did not open the case for a long time.

And the emperor is not pursuing it. It seems that this matter is just so.

Is it the eldest princess who pleaded for Tuoba Lingyun? So the emperor suppressed this case and didn't mention it anymore?

If this is true, it is certain that the relationship between the eldest princess and Tuoba Lingyun is indeed extraordinary.

Liu Xia thought to herself that she had to find some time to meet Xue Ge and explore his mouth.

"Well, that's all for today. If you think of anything else, you can order someone to come to me at any time."

Liu Xia told him.

"Yes."

Hold a boxing to Dongmei.

Liu Xia closed the door of the cell, returned to the study from the cell, sat in a chair, and was silent.

He thought about it secretly in his heart: "It seems that this dragon capital is really different. A small thing can involve such a thrilling event.

Originally, Liu Xia guessed that the owner behind Tuoba Lingyun was most likely to be the second prince, the third prince and the fourth prince.

However, now it seems that there is another suspect.

After sorting out some thoughts, Liu Xia thought of another important thing.

That is the whereabouts of the third sword of the nine swords.

Both Tianquan and Cangsheng were acquired under extremely unexpected circumstances.

The nine swords cast by Ao Cangqiong were scattered all over the dragon soul. It really feels like looking for a needle in a haystack.

However, Liu Xia is not what it used to be today.

Anyway, he is also a prince. There are still many sources of information to explore this kind of magic soldier.

"Ky, I advise you to look for clues in the library of the palace. These magic soldiers cast by me are all rare masterpieces. I'm afraid that there are only a few words recorded in many books. You may find something there."

Proud Sky suddenly reminded.

"Okay, I'll go now."

After saying that, Liu Xia took Dabao to the palace.

Liu Xia knew that there was a library in the imperial palace.

Whether it is the Daqing Dynasty or the Tianji Dynasty, the palace has not experienced any baptism of war. The books there have always been well preserved, and maybe you can really find some clues there.

When he arrived at the library, the eunuch naturally knew Liu Xia. Liu Xia just said that he came to consult some information, and the eunuch hurriedly ordered someone to open the door of the study and serve him with tea.

It's just that Liu Xia was dumbfounded when she arrived at this library.

The library of the Imperial Palace is of an outrageous scale.

There are three floors in the basement, and there are five or six hundred bookshelves on each floor. It can be imagined how terrible the number of books in it is.

At this moment, Liu Xia finally understood the meaning of a word, and she really sighed.

However, in order to find the whereabouts of the nine swords, I can only look for it.

When he got to the basement, Liu Xia first saw the innermost neat pile of bamboo slips and stones.

That was a book in ancient times when there was no paper.

"Senior, do you think this is reliable?"

Liu Xia looked at the vast collection of books around her and couldn't help asking curiously.

"Well, it's really not very reliable. But we can only start from here. You can read more books about anecdotes. I think there are always some clues.

Ao Cangqiong said awkwardly.

So far, this is the only way to do it.

So, Liu Xia plunged into the library. Fortunately, after being enlightened, his head was much easier to use, and he could read ten lines at a glance and read quickly.

But even so, compared with the vast collection of books here, it is really not worth mentioning.

Liu Xia stayed here for five days, which is called a waste of sleep and food.

Finally, on the fifth day, I found a Daqing Yiwen anecdote scroll written by a Taoist priest named Xuan Xuanzi in the Daqing Dynasty.

There is such a record in it: Daqing Haoyuan Emperor, Xishen's weapon, got the ancient sword forever,...

"Kid, you seem to have found it."

Ao Cangqiong suddenly said.
