Liu Xia stood outside the cell and felt sad when she heard Dong Mei and Liu Mei hugging each other and crying in the cell.
Xiang Dongmei still thinks about his wife and children, which at least shows that his "sexuality" has not been extinguished, but he still has to bear the responsibility for the crimes he committed.
Although Liu Xia has not seen the evil nature of the Fire Lotus Sect with his own eyes, he can get an idea of the rampant nature of the Holy Sect in the northwest.
These cults have done basically nothing good and have made the place a mess, which cannot be tolerated.
After about half an hour of "touching", Liu Mei came out of the cell with the child. When she saw Liu Xia, she made a slight blessing to Liu Xia and left with the child.[
Naturally, Dabao sent Liu Mei back to his room. At this moment, Liu Xia entered Xiang Dongmei's cell.
In a daze, Xiang Dongmei became much more haggard. She sat in front of the stone table in a daze and couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
Liu Xia sat opposite him, silent.
After a long time, Xiang Dongmei took a deep breath and said, "Prince Weiyuan, do you really mean what you say?"
"Of course, I will send your wife and children back to the Mingyue Sword Sect. I think that returning to their sect will be much safer than living in the world. However, I have too much time to take care of myself during this period, so I still have to wait.
After the Onmyoji case is settled, I'm afraid there will be a lot of trouble on the road."
Liu Xia nodded and said.
"No matter what, I believe that the prince is an upright man and will never lie to me. I know from Dongmei that I will not be able to escape the blame for my death. The lives of my wife and children are entrusted to the prince's hands."
Xiang Dongmei said.
"Just don't worry. I promise you to protect them, and I will do it."
"Well, what does the prince want to know?"
Xiang Dongmei said frankly.
"Then let's start with Zhu Neng."
Liu Xia smiled.
"It's a long story. I had heard of Zhu Neng's name when I was in the Fire Lotus Sect in the South. At that time, Zhu Neng was already the leader of the Southern Green Forest, and the entire Southern Green Forest followed his lead. Later.
, the Fire Lotus Sect was besieged and suppressed by the imperial court, I was desperate, and accidentally met Zhu Neng. I didn't know at the time that he was Tuoba Lingyun. Since then, I have been following him."
Having said this, Xiang Dongmei stood up and said: "Later, by chance, I found out his true identity. From then on, I returned to Longdu with him to handle some shameful things for him."
"Then how many troops does he have under his command?"
Liu Xia asked curiously.
"The Metropolitan Procuratorate has spies all over the country. As far as I know, Tuoba Lingyun has eliminated dissidents in the Metropolitan Procuratorate in recent years and has brought the entire top brass of the Metropolitan Procuratorate under his banner. There are many thousands of households in various places who belong to him.
I think there are at least more than 20,000 people in the Metropolitan Procuratorate alone. Of course, this is just a guess, and I don’t know the details.”
Xiang Dongmei said.[
"Where is Jianghu Lulin?"
Liu Xia asked.
"Tuoba Lingyun has always been cold-blooded. The entire green forest in the south of the Yangtze River was a mess at first. I heard that he started from Qingfeng Village. There were less than 2,000 people at that time. But later he continued to annex other green forest heroes, waiting for me to submit to him.
At that time, 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 long ago."
Xiang Dongmei said affirmatively.
When Liu Xia heard this, she felt a little confident.
However, there is one question that has been bothering Liu Xia since he disappeared, and that is Tuoba Lingyun. Does he want to be the emperor himself, or does he want to become the emperor for others?
"Xiang Dongmei, why do you think Tuoba Lingyun raises so many private troops?"
"This... Your Majesty, it's hard for me to answer you. When the Fire Lotus Sect was at its peak in the south, I also dreamed of becoming an emperor. Later, after the Fire Lotus Sect uprising, I discovered that things were far from that simple. I was not born into a family.
, it is difficult to aspire to the throne of this emperor. I understand this truth, and Tuoba Lingyun will understand it. But what makes me confused is that at first I really suspected that Tuoba Lingyun was working for others, but later, I
I found that he didn’t seem to be taking orders from anyone.”
Xiang Dongmei said.
"Then have you ever known whether Tuoba Lingyun knows a supreme master whose cultivation is something you have never seen or heard of?"
Liu Xia asked curiously.
"Know."
Xiang Dongmei said calmly.
Hearing this, Liu Xia was startled and stood up in a hurry and asked: "What? Do you know that person? Who is he?"
"I have only seen that master once. I guess that state should be the legendary Holy Spirit Realm. Although I don't know who the master is, I can be sure that the master is from Princess Chang'an."
When Xiang Dongmei finished speaking, Liu Xia was speechless.
"Princess Chang'an?"
Liu Xia couldn't help but ask.
"Yes, that time I followed Tuoba Lingyun to annihilate a caravan gang. I accidentally broke into the fiefdom of Princess Chang'an. In that case, I met the master. The master seemed to be very familiar with Tuoba Lingyun.
, not only helped us wipe out those people that day, but also personally sent us out of the princess's fiefdom."
Xiang Dongmei said affirmatively.
At this moment, Liu Xia was a little confused. She originally thought that the emperor's sons were "chaotic" enough, but it turned out that her aunt was not an economical person either.
Judging from the situation last night, it was obvious that the master came to save Tuoba Lingyun.[
If you just save Tuoba Lingyun out of pure friendship, then forget it.
But if you are not simply here to save Tuoba Lingyun, but to protect Tuoba Lingyun, this will be complicated.
This means that the boss behind Tuoba Lingyun might be the eldest princess, Liu Xia's aunt.
Does the eldest princess also want to be the emperor?
Liu Xia couldn't help making a bold guess.
In the history of Dragon Soul Continent, there once appeared a great female emperor, of course, that was during the Wei Dynasty.
That female emperor was the famous Emperor Yuan Qing in history, who ruled the Wei Dynasty for more than a hundred years.
And that female emperor is the sister of the previous emperor.
Could it be that Princess Chang'an also has this ambition?
Liu Xia is not sure at the moment, and all of this is just speculation.
"My lord, have you met that master?"
Xiang Dongmei saw Liu Xia's uncertain expression and asked curiously.
"Well, I had a duel with Tuoba Lingyun last night, and the master finally showed up. I was lucky enough to come back alive."
Liu Xia said with lingering fear.
"That expert has obviously known Tuoba Lingyun for many years. As for what the relationship is, I'm not sure. However, I discovered one thing from their conversation."
"What?"
"Well, this Tuoba Lingyun seems to have had a relationship with the eldest princess. Of course, this is just my guess."
Xiang Dongmei hurriedly explained.
When Liu Xia heard this, he suddenly remembered something.
Tuoba Lingyun's son Xiao Guogong committed many evil deeds. The emperor ordered Mr. Xue Ge to try the case, but Mr. Xue Ge refused to open the court for a long time.
And the emperor is no longer pursuing the investigation, as if this matter has just been forgotten.
Could it be that the eldest princess interceded for Tuoba Lingyun? So the emperor suppressed the case and stopped mentioning it?
If this is true, then it can be confirmed that the relationship between the eldest princess and Tuoba Lingyun is indeed extraordinary.
Liu Xia thought to himself that he had to find time to meet Mr. Xue Ge and find out what he said.
"Okay, that's it for today. If you think of anything else, you can always ask someone to come to me."
Liu Xia instructed.
"yes."
Xiang Dongmei cupped her fists.
Liu Xia closed the cell door, returned to the study from the cell, sat on a chair, and remained silent.
He thought secretly in his heart: "It seems that this Longdu is really different. A small thing can be involved in such a thrilling event."
Originally, Liu Xia guessed that the boss behind Tuoba Lingyun was most likely one of the second, third, and fourth princes.
However, now it seems that there is another object of suspicion.
After sorting out her thoughts, Liu Xia thought of another important thing.
That is the whereabouts of the third sword of the Nine Heaven-Destroying Swords.
Both the right of heaven and the common people were obtained under extremely unexpected circumstances.
These nine swords forged by Ao Cangqiong back then are scattered all over Dragon Soul. It really feels like finding a needle in a haystack.
However, Liu Xia is different today.
After all, he is a prince. If he wants to explore this kind of magical weapon, there are still many sources of information.
"Boy, I advise you to look for clues in the palace's books. Each of these magic weapons I forged are rare and exquisite. I'm afraid there are a few records in many books. Maybe you
What can you find there?"
Ao Cangqiong suddenly reminded.
"Okay, I'll go now."
After saying that, Liu Xia took Dabao and headed towards the palace.
Liu Xia knew that there was an inner treasury in the palace.
Regardless of whether it is the Daqing Dynasty or the Tianji Dynasty, the imperial palace has not experienced any baptism of war. The books there have always been well preserved. Maybe some clues can be found there.
When we arrived in Tibet, naturally the eunuch in charge knew Liu Xia. Liu Xia just said he was here to check some information, so the eunuch hurriedly ordered someone to open the study door and serve him tea.
However, when Liu Xia arrived here, she was dumbfounded.
The palace's collection is astonishingly large.
There are three floors in the basement, and there are five to six hundred bookshelves on each floor. You can imagine how terrifying the number of books inside is.
At this moment, Liu Xia finally understood the meaning of a word and was really excited about it.
However, in order to find the whereabouts of the Nine Heaven-Seizing Swords, we can only bite the bullet and search inside.
When Liu Xia arrived at the basement, the first thing Liu Xia saw was the neatly stacked bamboo slips and stone flakes in the innermost area.
Those were books from ancient times, when there was no paper.
"Senior, do you think this is reliable?"
Liu Xia looked at the vast collection of books around him and couldn't help asking curiously.
"Well, it's really not very reliable. But this is the only place to start. You can read more books about strange things. I think there are always some clues."
Ao Cangqiong said awkwardly.
As of now, this is all we can do.
So, Liu Xia plunged into Zang Nei. Fortunately, after enlightenment, his brain became much easier to use and he could read ten lines at a time at a glance.
But even so, compared with the vast collection of books here, it is really not worth mentioning.
Liu Xia stayed here for five whole days, forgetting all sleep and food.
Finally, on the fifth day, I discovered a volume of Daqing anecdotes written by a Taoist named Xuan Xuanzi from the Daqing Dynasty.
There is such a record in it: Emperor Haoyuan of Daqing, who was happy with weapons and weapons, obtained the ancient sword that will remain silent forever...
