Chapter 128 No more concern
Xiao Fengming and Xiao Lingxiao were going to leave the imperial city, and Shang Lingyu and Lu Zhongyang also decided to return to Xuehan. Everyone trapped the carriage and left the imperial city, ready to go to Fali Temple to say goodbye to Xuan first. However, just as the carriage was not far out of the imperial city, a group of people suddenly appeared on the official road to stop their carriages and horses. Xiao Lingxiao looked up and was surprised to find that the leader opposite was the fifth prince.
Xiao Lingxiao and Shang Lingyu were sitting in the carriage, while Xiao Fengming and Lu Zhongyang were escorted on horseback. When the two of them saw the fifth prince leading people to block the road and looked at each other, they secretly felt that it was not good.
Lu Zhongyang took the horse and arched his hand to the fifth prince, "What is your Highness doing?"
The fifth prince looked up and down at Lu Zhongyang, who was riding on the horse in a light clothes, picked up the corners of his mouth and smiled, "Zhongyang, you haven't come to me for a few days. I think you are panicked, so I specially brought someone to pick you up."
Lu Zhongyang's face changed when he heard the words. The fifth prince said some ambiguous words all day long, which made people unable to figure out which of his words was true and which was false.
"Your Highness, Zhongyang met his old friend, and I haven't been there for a few days to ask His Royal Highness. Today, my old friend went to Fali Temple to worship Buddha, and Zhongyang specially accompanied him. Zhongyang is brave. How about going to the house tomorrow to apologize?
"Tomorrow, I'm afraid that you have been abducted out of my country by them. Zhongyang, you can leave as soon as you want. Don't you have any nostalgia for me?"
After the fifth prince said this, the smile on his face suddenly disappeared. He pulled out his waist bag, rushed over, and stabbed Lu Zhongyang with his sword.
Lu Zhongyang hurriedly dodged when he saw this. The fifth prince's sword was fierce. Lu Zhongyang rode on the horse deftly dodged left and right. It took him a long time to shout, "Your Highness, Rong Zhongyang, please say a word!"
As soon as the fifth prince heard this, he immediately stop. He looked at Lu Zhongyang coldly and hummed, "Thanks, you have been pretending not to know martial arts by my side for so long. What's wrong? Are you afraid that I will see through that you are a witch, so you pretend to be? But you don't want to think, how many people in the world can play such a beautiful piano? With a little investigation, you can see through your true face. Zhongyang, you make me so cold.
Lu Zhongyang's heart suddenly shrank when he heard the words. It turned out that the fifth prince had known his identity for a long time, but he had never exposed him.
"Your Highness, Zhongyang really has another secret... I didn't mean to deceive you..."
The fifth prince narrowed his eyes and looked at Xiao Fengming, who had been not far behind Lu Zhongyang. He looked at the carriage behind them again, and sneered again, "No wonder Xiao Lingxiao can come back to life. It turns out that you are all witchcraft. You guys are really bold enough to make trouble in my country.
At this moment, as soon as the carriage door opened, Xiao Lingxiao dodged and came out from inside.
Seeing this, Xiao Fengming hurriedly turned over and got off the horse, helped Xiao Lingxiao get off the carriage and took a few steps forward.
Xiao Lingxiao smiled at the fifth prince and said, "Your Highness seems to have misunderstood something. Lu Zhongyang came out of witchcraft, but he didn't know us for a long time, and he didn't work for witchcraft. As for you saying that I came back from the dead, this matter has nothing to do with witchcraft. If the fifth prince wants to know the details, let's go to the quiet place over there to talk about it in detail.
The fifth prince has always been curious about Xiao Lingxiao, so he also turned over and got off the horse. With a smile, Xiao Lingxiao and others came to the woods nearby and talked in this quiet place. At this time, the fifth prince found that Lu Zhongyang helped another woman out of the carriage. When he took a closer look, he couldn't help sneering again, "It turned out to be Mrs. Shang, the owner of Wanguanzhuang. I should have thought that she was with you."
Shang Lingyu was a little embarrassed, but he didn't expect that his identity had already been found out by the fifth prince.
Xiao Lingxiao knew that some words were not easy for Shang Lingyu and Lu Zhongyang to say directly, so it was up to her to explain.
"A few days ago, I also heard from His Royal Highness the Sixth that His Royal Highness has traveled all over the world and knows a lot of secrets. So the Fifth Highness is also very clear about the witch religion." Xiao Lingxiao looked at the words and saw that the fifth prince seemed to be a little surprised that Li Jingxuan told Xiao Lingxiao these words.
In fact, the fifth prince has been traveling abroad for many years. It's not all because he is a martial arts idiot and tired of the imperial city. It's not because he has the intention to control the army. Only a few people knew about this matter. In fact, the emperor issued a secret edict to the fifth prince, and he left by decree.
Just as the sixth prince has always been responsible for prison and disciplinary officials, the fifth prince has also been given the task of searching for secrets from various countries. This time, the fifth prince returned to the imperial city because he stayed for so long because he learned that the witch religion had sent people to the imperial city of Wuqi Kingdom. The fifth prince has been holding Lu Zhongyang. On the one hand, he found his identity as a witch, and on the other hand, he also wanted to find some clues from him and follow the melons. Unexpectedly, Lu Zhongyang, a witch, not only failed to give him any useful clues, but also made him waste a lot of energy.
However, now it can be find out that Xiao Lingxiao is related to the witch religion, which is also a mistake. Xiao Lingxiao's death and resurrence shocked everyone, but if this is the magic of witchcraft, it makes a point. The fifth prince knew that Xiao Lingxiao was very resourceful, confused the fourth prince, and made the sixth prince obedient to her, and Xiao Fengming around her was not an ordinary person. The fifth prince's investigations had been greatly hindered, which made him even more confused.
Hearing Xiao Lingxiao mention the witch religion, the fifth prince immediately increased his vigilance. He is not only very clear about witchcraft, but also knows the cruel methods of those people.
But at this time, Xiao Lingxiao continued to say, "Your Highness, those people of the witch religion use magic to harm people. You must be investigating who has colluded with the witch religion in the imperial city. Then I'll tell you that it's King Mude, who is the person you're looking for.
Xiao Lingxiao has long guessed that although the fifth prince is different from the sixth prince, even the person is essentially a chess piece in the emperor's hand. Of course, everything he did was for their father, so the final spearhead still pointed to the people who threatened the emperor. Both Lu Zhongyang and her Xiao Lingxiao are insignificant to Wu Chiguo. If you want to get rid of the trouble, you just need to send out the person who is most threatening to them.
Xiao Lingxiao did not hesitate to tell the fifth prince all the things that Su Donghan and King Mu De colluded with the witch religion, which naturally included some of her secrets. After hearing this, the fifth prince was stunned and pointed to Xiao Lingxiao and asked, "Do you think Su Donghan was killed by you?"
Xiao Lingxiao smiled indifferently, "Does the Fifth Highness think that I, Xiao Lingxiao, can't kill him, Su Donghan?"
The fifth prince looked at Xiao Lingxiao again and didn't say anything.
Xiao Lingxiao didn't explain much, and then said, "That day in the Chufu Building, I heard the fourth prince talk about the thing worn by the woman called the fairy stone, which is a very important treasure. With this fairy stone, he can sit on the throne. That's why he ignored the obstruction and went on to rob it. Previously, when he was seeing the eldest grandson in the eldest son's mansion, the magic doctor once told me that he said that witchcraft was not understandable by ordinary people. The fourth prince is against the witch religion. It must have been some evil trick by them to become what it is now.
The fifth prince frowned and thought for a moment, thinking that although Xiao Lingxiao's words also had loopholes, they were generally consistent with the facts and should not be fabricated out of thin air. As for the matter of the fourth prince, if it is also a witch church, it seems to have become reasonable.
King Mude, that was a big trouble in the emperor's heart. Telling his father about King Mude's collusion with witchcraft is naturally much better than giving him a few people in a delicate situation like Xiao Lingxiao.
Just a little weighing, the fifth prince will know what to do.
He looked at the people in front of him, especially Shang Lingyu and Lu Zhongyang, and there were still doubts in his heart. Seeing this, Xiao Lingxiao pulled him to the side and whispered a few words, and the fifth prince suddenly realized.
He smiled loudly and shook his head and said, "It turns out that he is trapped by love. No wonder he has a strong sadness every time he strokes the piano."
With a sigh, the fifth prince came to Xiao Fengming's side again and patted him on the shoulder. "If we can see each other in the future, we need to treat each other as friends. Don't be enemies."
After saying that, he punched several people and said, "The witch religion is related to the national body, and I can only be cautious about it. Say goodbye today. Take care of yourself.
After saying this, he looked at Lu Zhongyang, smiled indifferently, and turned away.
After a while, he heard the sound of horses' hoofs, and the fifth prince took his men away.
Lu Zhongyang took a breath and looked down again. Shang Lingyu actually covered his face and smiled.
"Lan'er, the fifth prince is strange by nature and has nothing to do with me." Lu Zhongyang blushed and hurriedly explained.
Shang Lingyu didn't say anything, but turned around and walked towards the carriage.
Xiao Fengming and Xiao Lingxiao looked at the two of them and couldn't help smiling.
"I'm afraid the fifth prince guessed your identity." Xiao Lingxiao looked up at Xiao Fengming and said.
Xiao Fengming smiled indifferently, "Although what he did was secretly, he was still open and aboveboard. With his words as a friend, I will not be an enemy of him in the future.
Xiao Lingxiao nodded and thought to himself that it would be better to have one more friend than one more enemy, especially after Feng Ming returned to Xuehan, there was a fight. At that time, he didn't know what life and death would be like.
He sighed secretly. They got on the car again and set off for Fali Temple.
In the Fali Temple, Xuan got the news for a long time and was ready to meet several of them. Ruixi stayed in the temple regardless, pouted and looked unhappy.
When the little monk ran back and said that the carriage had arrived, Ruixi rushed out with an arrow step.
Xiao Lingxiao and others got off the car at the foot of the mountain and saw a figure hurried down the mountain road. Not before Xiao Lingxiao could see who was coming, Ruixi rushed over and hugged her tightly.
"Sister-in-law, you don't keep your word! It's been so long since you came back to see me! Don't forget that you promised to marry my brother. When will you get married?"
Ruixi's words surprised everyone present, especially Xiao Fengming, a handsome face suddenly became as black as the bottom of the pot. He stared at Xiao Lingxiao and obviously asked her what was going on.
Xiao Lingxiao smiled awkwardly at Xiao Fengming and hurriedly pulled Ruixi to the mountain.
