The next day, Ye Hongyu said goodbye to his brother Ye Su and secretly returned to Xiling Temple.
When Ye Su noticed it, Ye Hongyu had already rushed out of Chang'an City. Just as he wanted to catch up, an invisible force restrained him.
Ye Su felt the huge power around him and tried to break free, but his efforts became tighter and tighter, and breathing gradually became difficult.
Wang Gang slowly walked to Ye Su and dispersed the restraining force.
"Why did Mr. Wang stop me from chasing my sister?" Ye Su looked at Wang Gang and his eyes gradually became unkind.
Wang Gang smiled and said: "Ye Hongyu has her own way to go, so why should you stop her?"
Ye Su said angrily: "Does the Academy really want to provoke a war between Datang and Xiling?"
Wang Gang said: "This is serious. When does the academy want to start a war?"
"You asked Red Fish to return to Xiling Temple, didn't you just want her to split Xiling so that Tang could take the opportunity to annex it?"
Wang Gang shook his head and said: "Since the Tang Kingdom has been established for thousands of years, when has it ever initiated a war?"
Ye Su was speechless for a moment.
Wang Gang smiled and said: "Ye Hongyu must face the shadow of her childhood by herself. No one can help her, otherwise she will never get out of it in the future."
Ye Su frowned and asked in confusion: "Why doesn't Hongyu want my help?"
Wang Gang sighed: "Because Ye Hongyu knows very well that you can't help her at all."
Ye Su was obviously dissatisfied, but didn't speak again.
"Let me ask you, if Ye Hongyu wants to fight against Xiling Temple, will you help?"
"If Xiong Chumo really did that kind of thing, I will report it to the temple master and use the power of Zhi Shou Guan to depose Xiong Chumo as the headmaster of Xiling." Ye Su said firmly.
"Haha, do you think the master of the temple will destroy Xiong Chumo for Ye Hongyu?" Wang Gang sneered.
"The temple owner will definitely uphold justice for the red fish." Ye Su said stubbornly.
Wang Gang shook his head, knowing that Ye Su had not yet seen the true face of Chen, the leader of Zhishou Temple.
"Ye Su, go take a look at the darkest place in Xiling!" Wang Gang said, "Or go take a look at the potholes under the Xuankong Temple."
Ye Su asked in confusion: "What do you mean?"
Wang Gang said mysteriously: "You will understand after seeing it."
After saying that, Wang Gang waved his right hand, tearing the void and throwing Ye Su to the Hanging Temple.
Ye Su wanted to resist, but the gap between his cultivation level and Wang Gang's was so big that he couldn't help himself.
"Obviously everyone is at the peak of knowing their fate, why is he so strong?" Ye Su closed his eyes and found that he had arrived in a strange place.
It is dark and humid here, the air is filled with the smell of rot, and there is a faint light in the sky.
Ye Su looked around and found that he had come to a huge mine. Not far away, there were a lot of half-clothed serfs working hard.
"Did I really come to the Xuankong Temple thousands of miles away?" Ye Su said in horror.
…………
Ye Hongyu and Ye Su left one after another, without causing any disturbance in Chang'an. The days passed day by day, and three days later, Long Qing was also preparing to return to Yan State, specially bidding farewell to Tang Wang Li Zhongyi.
Many years ago, the Tang-Yan War ended in a disastrous defeat for the Yan State. Since then, the Yan State has been reduced from a large country in the north to a small border country. Not only did it cede a large area of land, but the King of Yan also sent his eldest son Chongming to Chang'an as a hostage.
Long Qing is the younger brother of Chongming and the prince of Yan Kingdom. He came to Chang'an to participate in the second-floor examination. Naturally, he had to report to the King of Tang when he left.
Li Zhongyi asked Long Qing to enter the palace directly, held a special banquet, and invited ministers to attend.
At the banquet, Long Qing and Chongming were on pins and needles, cautious and did not dare to make any mistakes, for fear of offending Li Zhongyi and bringing disaster to the Yan State.
Wang Gang, as the chief teacher of the academy, was also invited to participate, and Li Zhongyi was also prepared to announce the marriage of Li Yu and Wang Gang in public.
But before that, Li Zhongyi picked up the wine glass and said to Chongming and Long Qing: "Prince Chongming returns to China this time. Please send my regards to King Yan on my behalf."
Long Qing was stunned and couldn't help but look at Brother Wang Chongming.
Chongming avoided his brother's eyes guiltily, picked up his wine glass and said to Li Zhongyi: "The foreign ministers will definitely bring the greetings from His Majesty the King of Tang."
Long Qing felt vaguely uneasy and tugged on Chongming's clothes.
After Li Zhongyi drank the wine, he asked his attendant to pour another glass, and then said to Long Qing: "Prince Longqing, you will live in Chang'an from now on, so why do you need it? Just tell me."
Long Qing couldn't bear it any longer and said to Li Zhongyi: "Your Majesty, King of Tang, it is I, not my brother, who is returning to the Kingdom of Yan."
Li Zhongyi was stunned and said in confusion: "I received a letter from the Kingdom of Yan a few days ago, exchanging Prince Longqing for Prince Chongming. Don't you know about this?"
Long Qing's eyes widened and he looked at Chongming in disbelief.
Chongming lowered his head in shame at this time, not daring to look at his younger brother.
Long Qing understood instantly that he had been abandoned by his father and brother.
"Brother Wang, this is my father's decision, and I can't help it," Chongming said to Long Qing in a low voice.
"Why?" Long Qing asked puzzled.
"My father is seriously ill, and the officials of the Yan State wanted me to return to the country to stabilize the overall situation, so they proposed that you stay as a pledge." Chongming said with a guilty conscience.
Long Qing suddenly realized: "It turns out that my brother is going back to the country to inherit the throne of King Yan."
Wang Gang then spoke to Long Qing and said, "Prince Longqing, are you unwilling to stay in Tang as a hostage?"
Long Qing felt a chill in his heart. He clenched the five fingers of his right hand, grabbed his clothes, and said: "As the prince of Yan Kingdom, Long Qing is naturally willing to stay as a pledge."
Wang Gang smiled and said: "It's good that Prince Longqing still remembers his identity. You must know that you are just the concubine of King Yan, and you are not qualified to be a hostage. If His Majesty hadn't been merciful and thought of King Yan, he allowed Prince Chongming to return to the country, reunited father and son, and Prince Longqing would have returned."
I can’t keep Chang’an.”
Long Qing suppressed the anger in his heart and thanked Li Zhongyi: "I would like to express my gratitude to His Majesty the King of Tang Dynasty for his generous kindness and granting my father's wish."
Li Zhongyi said with a smile: "Tang and Yan are brotherly states, so trivial matters are nothing to worry about."
Long Qing felt extremely aggrieved, but he could only maintain his superficial demeanor and thank Li Zhongyi again.
After the proton matter was decided, Li Zhongyi said to everyone: "Today's banquet is held, and there is another important announcement. The eldest princess Li Yu and the academy's chief teacher Wang Gang are in love. I intend to give them the beauty of marriage."
Li Yu looked shy when he heard this, but Wang Gang smiled and stood up to thank Li Zhongyi.
Long Qing looked at the spring breeze and was so proud that Wang Gang, who was about to become the prince-in-law of the Tang Dynasty, almost broke his teeth.
From now on, as a hostage in Chang'an, Long Qing can only hold his tail between his legs and be a good man. Even if he doesn't want to, he can only hold a wine glass and congratulate Wang Gang and Li Yu.
Prince Chongming was also in a complicated mood at this time. He had liked Li Yu for a long time, but due to their identities, he had never dared to confess.
Now one of them is going back to Yan Kingdom, and the other is going to marry someone else. Chongming only feels bitter in his heart, and all the wine is bitter.
After the banquet, Long Qing and Chongming walked out of the Tang Palace together without saying a word to each other.
Wang Gang came over at this time and stood in front of Long Qing.
"Prince Longqing, because you are a cultivator and will be held hostage in Chang'an in the future, to avoid trouble, your majesty specifically asked me to seal your cultivation." Wang Gang said with a smile.
Long Qing's face stiffened. He never expected that he would have to be sealed for cultivation. Without his cultivation, he would be a mermaid in Chang'an.
Wang Gang ignored Long Qing's thoughts and slapped his palm on the air sea of Longqing Snow Mountain, using the power of the Shocking God Formation to seal all his telekinesis.
"Prince Longqing, your status will be different from now on, but you must be careful and don't do anything like going to the academy to cause trouble again." Wang Gang said to Long Qing in a sinister tone.
Long Qing raised his head in shock and met Wang Gang's smiling eyes.
Wang Gang patted Long Qing on the shoulder and said, "You can take care of yourself."
Long Qing took a breath and suddenly understood that he became a proton because of Wang Gang's revenge!
