The wind on the top of the mountain was strong, blowing away the thick and pungent blood.
However, the miserable corpses on the ground looked a bit creepy.
During their lifetime, these people held overwhelming power and could turn their hands into clouds and rain.
But after death, there is nothing but blood and corpses everywhere, no different from ordinary people.
Ning Sihua's eyes swept over this bloody scene, and she said with emotion: "Fellow Taoist who cultivates in the Qi Gathering Realm can draw the charm of heaven and earth into the way of swordsmanship. It is really unbelievable."
Su Yi put away the Yuxuan Sword and said, "You're not here just to watch the battle, are you?"
"of course not."
Ning Sihua said bluntly, "Marquis Yun Guang and I came here because we have something to discuss with fellow Taoists."
Su Yi shook his head and said, "Let's talk about anything tomorrow."
"Why tomorrow?" Ning Sihua was startled.
Su Yi patted his belly gently and said, "Because I haven't had breakfast yet."
Everyone: "..."
Everyone thought that Su Yi's rejection of Ning Sihua was because he had other plans for the day, so they all listened carefully. Who would have thought that he was actually hungry...
Cha Jin felt a little embarrassed, and secretly wondered if the snacks prepared for the young master today were not enough?
Zhou Zhili looked ashamed and said sarcastically: "I was not prepared enough, so I went to bother Brother Su before dawn."
"stupid."
Su Yi glanced at him and said, "I'm just looking for an excuse, I don't want to get involved in anything today,"
He thought for a while and sighed: "But now it seems that it is better to speak more directly."
Seeing that Su Yi's words had reached this point, Ning Sihua's lips twitched slightly and said: "Okay, then Yun Guanghou and I will go visit fellow Taoist tomorrow."
Come to think of it, Su Yi just had a tea party today and made such a big fuss. How could Su Yi still have the mind to care about other things?
Ning Sihua felt relieved when she thought about it.
"How about letting this bastard... well, let Qing'er give me a ride?"
Su Yi looked at the Green Scaled Eagle.
When we first met, it was okay to call the other person a bastard.
Now that we all know each other, it is a little inappropriate to call him an evil beast.
Green Scaled Eagle trembled all over, feeling surprised and surprised. How could such an arrogant guy take the initiative to change his name?
"It is Qing'er's honor to be able to travel for fellow Taoists."
Ning Sihua laughed.
"Thank you."
Su Yi waved to Cha Jin who was not far away, "Let's go."
Only then did Zhou Zhili and the others realize that Su Yi didn't want to stay here anymore and was planning to leave.
Soon, under the gaze of everyone, Su Yi and Cha Jin sat on the back of the blue-scaled eagle and flew away into the sky.
Qing Jin felt an inexplicable sense of sadness in his heart.
For some reason, when she saw Cha Jin leaving with Su Yi, she once again remembered the scene when she refused to be Su Yi's maid on the boat.
"This Mr. Su is really a strange person in the world."
Yun Guang Hou Shen Jiu Song sighed.
He had previously watched the battle in secret and witnessed the scene of Su Yi killing a group of masters with his sword, but until he came into close contact just now, he became more and more aware of the other party's extraordinary qualities.
"We will leave when Qing'er comes back."
After Ning Sihua finished speaking, she stood on the edge of the cliff, overlooking the sea of clouds, and remained silent.
In some aspects, she and Su Yi are similar. For example, they are too lazy to pay attention to worldly disputes, and they are too lazy to talk to people like Zhou Zhili.
It's not disdain, but respect for each other
For people of two worlds.
"Your Highness, today's business is over, but how do you plan to clean up this mess?"
Shen Jiusong looked at Zhou Zhili and said with interest.
Kang Shanjing, the deacon of the Qianlong Sword Sect, Yue Changyuan, the deacon of the Su family in Yujing City, and Qin Changshan, who was invited by the second prince, all died here.
The disaster behind this involves the Qianlong Sword Sect, the Su family of Yujing City, and the second prince, each with more terrifying background than the last.
The deaths of the four top family heads in Gunzhou City, including Governor Xiang Tianqiu and Yu Baiting, were destined to be unable to be concealed.
When the news spreads, the city of Gongzhou will fall into great turmoil!
It can be said that what happened today is like a huge storm whirlpool. Anyone involved will be plagued by disaster.
Zhou Zhili was silent for a moment and said calmly: "To be honest with you, Lord Hou, I haven't thought of how to resolve such a turmoil. However, even if there are endless troubles, I will bear them with all my strength."
Shen Jiusong smiled and said: "Your Highness, taking advantage of this free time, would you like to hear Shen's opinion on this matter?"
Zhou Zhili perked up and realized that Marquis Yunguang was planning to give him some advice. He immediately clasped his fists solemnly and said, "Please give me some advice, Lord Marquis."
Zheng Tianhe, Mu Zhongting and others also looked like they were listening.
Shen Jiusong thought for a while and said: "In Shen's opinion, when the winner is determined in this matter, the position of the governor is no longer important."
He looked at Zhou Zhili and said, "Do you know why His Majesty appointed you to appoint you to the position of Governor of Gongzhou?"
"This is my father's test." Zhou Zhili said without hesitation.
"Yes, since it is a test, when His Highness wins the confrontation with the second prince, it is actually equivalent to getting His Majesty's approval."
Shen Jiusong said in a slow voice, "At this time, even if His Highness breaks the rules, His Majesty will not blame you. On the contrary, he will treat you differently. As for the trouble caused this time, Your Majesty will calm it down for you.
"
"is it possible?"
Zhou Zhili was stunned, as if he couldn't believe it.
Shen Jiusong laughed and said: "In the eyes of His Majesty, who sits all over the world and controls the mountains and rivers alone, a prince who has withstood the test and won is the most important!"
After a pause, he continued: "Under such circumstances, the Qianlong Sword Sect, the Su family in Yujing City, or the big forces in Gunzhou City, as long as they are smarter, they will know that you, Your Highness, are already the same as before.
It’s different. If I want to take revenge on you, I’m afraid I have to pass His Majesty’s test first!”
Zhou Zhili perked up and murmured: "I really didn't think of this level before..."
"If my inference is correct, when His Highness returns to Yujing City, you may be able to feel the power of His Majesty's approval."
When Shen Jiusong said this, he smiled and clasped his fists and said, "Shen is here to congratulate His Highness in advance on his successful career."
Zhou Zhili said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, isn't this a shame on me? I know how much I weigh. As long as my father doesn't punish me, I will shed tears of gratitude."
Shen Jiusong laughed and said: "Punishment? Your Majesty has paid little attention to worldly things in recent years and is obsessed with the way of cultivation. Not surprisingly, since Your Majesty has tested you and other princes, this may mean that Your Majesty has begun to
Preparations have been made for the establishment of a crown prince."
Make a crown prince!
Everyone couldn't help but gasp.
Today, the Emperor of Zhou is in his prime, with great talents, strategies, and wisdom. Who would have thought that His Majesty the Emperor would already start to consider the issue of his successor?
Zhou Zhili was stunned there, his chest rising and falling.
The so-called authorities are confused. After Shen Jiusong reminded him, he suddenly understood why his father would send him to appoint the governor of Gunzhou this time.
Duty.
"Thank you, Lord Marquis, for your advice."
Zhou Zhili bowed deeply and was grateful.
Shen Jiusong reminded: "Your Highness, please don't be too happy. This support is just a test. The approval from His Majesty does not mean that you have hope to obtain the position of 'Crown Prince'."
Zhou Zhili took a deep breath, the excitement in his heart gradually calmed down, and said:
"I have never been valued by my father in the past, and my status in the royal family is far inferior to that of my eldest brother and second brother. Now if I can get some recognition from my father, I will be very happy!"
Shen Jiusong smiled and said: "When your Majesty was still a prince, he was in a bad situation just like you. But in the end, with the help of the national advisor Hong Canshang, the sea-devouring king Ge Changling, and the head of the Su family Su Hongli, he climbed the ladder step by step.
Dragon chair."
"I believe that in the future, Your Highness, you will have the opportunity to realize all of this!"
After hearing this, Zhou Zhili's body was shaken and his mind was in a turmoil.
Shen Jiusong said no more, took out a white jade pendant covered with blood, handed it to Mu Zhongting, and said:
"The position of governor represents the majesty of the Zhou Dynasty. If you encounter trouble in the future, you can hold this token and the red-scaled army stationed here will automatically help you."
Mu Zhongting was stunned for a moment, then he quickly clasped his fists in salute and said, "Thank you so much, Lord Marquis!"
He was previously worried about how he would secure his position as governor of Gunzhou after experiencing today's bloody events.
But now, with Shen Jiusong’s support, it’s different!
This means that even local cowards such as the Yu family, Zhao family, Bai family, and Xue family would not dare to break up with him easily!
Qing Jin, a frequent visitor, witnessed this scene and vaguely guessed in his heart that the reason why Yun Guanghou did this was definitely because he was optimistic about the future of the sixth prince.
Otherwise, why didn't Marquis Yun Guang stand up to support the Sixth Prince before the tea party started?
If there is a reason, there is only one possibility.
That is why Marquis Yunguang took the initiative to express his support for the Sixth Prince because of Su Yi!
If not, with his status as a prince, there would be no need for him to get involved in such muddy waters.
What's more, when Yun Guanghou and Ning Sihua arrived, they took the initiative to greet Su Yi, but everyone saw it!
There was a clear cry, and the blue-scaled eagle returned from the distant horizon and slowly landed on the top of the mountain.
"Let's go."
Ning Sihua walked directly onto the back of the blue-scaled eagle.
"Everyone, farewell."
Shen Jiusong clasped his fists at everyone, and then went to meet Ning Sihua.
Soon, the blue-scaled eagle carried the two people away through the air.
"Your Highness, should we leave too?"
Zheng Tianhe asked softly.
Right now, they are the only ones left on the top of the Western Mountain.
Zhou Zhili was silent for a moment and murmured with emotion: "I will never forget today..."
After that, he turned around and walked down the mountain.
Zheng Tianhe, Chang Keke, Qing Jin, Mu Zhongting and others followed behind.
At the foot of the mountain at this time.
It had already become a mess, with constant discussions and uproar.
The big shots from the six counties of Gunzhou had long realized that the tea party was over, but they didn't know who would win or lose.
If the path leading to the top of the mountain hadn't been guarded by soldiers of the Red Scale Army, someone would have rushed up to see what was going on.
