In the afternoon, Xia Yu was waiting at the City Lord's Mansion.
He waited for Lord Liu to come back and take him to the ghost market.
Unexpectedly, the third prince and Grand Master Qin both came back.
It turned out that when they arrived at the magic array, they found that it was completely deserted and there was nothing left except a mess on the ground.
Master Qin carefully observed the scene and searched around for a while, and finally determined that the demon cultivators hiding here had sensed danger and escaped in advance.
Although they did not find the demon cultivator, it was already a great achievement to drive the demon cultivator away.
When something happened here, they decided to go back and resume their lives.
This was exactly what Xia Yu wanted. The third prince and others left just in time for him to go to the ghost market with City Lord Liu.
But unexpectedly, before the third prince left, he asked someone to call Xia Yu over.
This made Xia Yu a little confused.
The third prince looked like his eyes were higher than his head. He had not even glanced at him before. He was about to leave now. Why did he need to ask questions? Did he find something?
Xia Yu came to the main hall anxiously and found the third prince sitting at the top. There were some personal guards standing far away in the hall, but there was no one else around.
"Xia Yu, I have met His Highness the Third Prince."
"Are you Xia Yu?" The third prince looked at Xia Yu.
Xia Yu vaguely felt that the third prince's gaze was unkind, but he could only clasp his fists and say, "Here he is."
"Your father Xia Yunxiao?" the third prince asked again.
"Not bad." Xia Yu secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It was not because of the demon cultivator.
"Is your mother Yunzhu?"
"yes."
When the third prince heard this sentence, he looked away, with a complicated look in his eyes, showing both resentment and pleasure.
He pondered for a moment, then looked at Xia Yu and said, "I heard that you are only at the sixth level of Lingquan, so you have the strength to challenge the Lingxi realm?"
"That's true. However, the Tiger Wolf Technique that I practice has damaged the meridians. After being tested by Huangpu Imperial Master, I can no longer improve my cultivation level." Xia Yu lowered his head and said.
"That's okay." The third prince laughed and said, "If you are loyal to me, I will naturally help you find healing elixirs to help you recover in the future. What I lack in this prince's house is talent, and I will not treat you badly!"
Although the third prince's attitude was kind, it was similar to Xia Yunxiao's at the beginning.
The purpose is to make Xia Yu become cannon fodder.
In comparison, the Ninth Prince is a much better person than the Third Prince.
Xia Yu didn't even accept the Ninth Prince's solicitation, so how could he be loyal to the Third Prince?
What's more, what this person said was all polite and not sincere at all.
He immediately clasped his fists and said, "His Royal Highness, the third prince, cannot make any progress in his cultivation. He is no different from a useless person. I am afraid that I won't be able to help him if he goes to the prince's mansion, so he just wants to live his whole life in Liujing City."
He clearly refused.
The third prince looked worried and said in a deep voice, "You don't want to be loyal to me, but what did your father and mother tell you?"
Xia Yu's heart moved, and she secretly understood that the third prince had an old grudge against Xia Yunxiao!
Thinking back to the beginning, Xia Yunxiao was accused of treason in the capital and almost died there. Later, thanks to Yunzhu, at the cost of destroying his appearance, he invited the number one oiran in the capital to speak out, and he was able to persuade a certain big shot to let Xia Yunxiao.
Yunxiao returns home.
Now it seems that this third prince is also a key figure!
Knowing this, Xia Yu would not serve the third prince.
He was not afraid of the Third Prince, so he simply said, "Your Highness, I don't understand what you are saying. My parents have never mentioned you. The reason why I did not go to the Prince's Mansion is my personal decision. I just want to be free."
A life of ease.”
"Then you go." The third prince immediately turned his back and waved Xia Yu to leave, almost saying "get lost".
Xia Yu cupped his fists and turned to leave.
This third prince's character is so bad that you want to work for him? I'm not stupid enough to do that!
He doesn't want to work for anyone in this life.
As soon as Xia Yu left, he saw an old man with a high crown and white clothes walking into the main hall and said with a smile, "Your Highness, this Xia Yu's face does have a trace of Yunzhu's appearance back then."
"The grand master is joking." The third prince shook his head and sighed, "How did this prince treat Yunzhu back then? But this bitch actually insists on following this nonsense like Xia Yunxiao!"
Grand Master Qin said with a smile, "Xia Yunxiao was also very high-spirited when he was a young man. He followed the old general Bai Yu in the north and south. He can be called a young general with a heroic spirit. I don't know how many ignorant girls were moved by him, let alone Yunzhu?"
"Hahaha."
The third prince laughed loudly and gritted his teeth and said, "These stupid women are so stupid! I heard that Yunzhu betrayed her husband for Xia Yunxiao. After she came back, Xia Yunxiao disliked her in every possible way. A few days ago, she and Xia Yu were even separated from Xia Yunxiao.
He was kicked out of the government, cut off from the relationship, and became a stranger! When this prince heard all this, he really wanted to die laughing! If Yunzhu had followed this prince and enjoyed the glory and wealth, how could he have suffered today?"
"Of course, we can only say that these women are blind and stupid." Qin Taishi also laughed and asked, "Your Highness, Yunzhu was the most beautiful in the capital at that time, and the sound of the piano was the best in the Zhou Dynasty. I heard that
That night I entered the prince's palace and played the piano for His Highness all night long..."
After Master Qin finished speaking, a shameless smile appeared on his face.
The third prince looked ferocious.
"That stinky woman!" the third prince scolded, "I promised her that Xia Yunxiao could be released as long as she had a night of love, but instead of being unwilling, she took a knife and destroyed her face! Looking at the blood dripping,
This prince was so angry that he couldn't think of anything, so he had to cut her a few more times and spit out a mouthful of spiritual fire so that she would never recover!"
After listening to this, Taishi Qin suddenly realized, "There are rumors in the outside world that Yunzhu disfigured herself to beg for mercy from another courtesan. It turns out that this is not the case. She disfigured herself in the prince's palace."
Hearing this, the third prince looked around and said, "Master, you can just talk about this kind of thing here. If it spreads, it will affect my reputation."
Grand Master Qin said quickly, "Your Highness, don't worry, Qin is definitely not the kind of person who talks nonsense."
"I feel at ease with the Grand Master as a person." The third prince stood up and said with a smile, "I originally wanted to train Xia Yunxiao and Yunzhu's sons to be my eagle dogs and disgust them, but Xia Yu is a loser.
If you are shameless, forget it."
Grand Master Qin nodded and said, "Your Highness, when the matter here is over, please return to the capital early. While we are outside, the other princes will have to make slanderous remarks in front of His Majesty."
"Let's go back!" The third prince walked out with a proud stride.
Soon after, the third prince and Grand Master Qin left Liujing City with a large group of troops, restoring the city to its former peace.
By the time Lord Liu was free, the sky had already darkened.
"Brother Xia, let's leave quickly. If we don't leave, it will be too late."
"Then it's hard work." Xia Yu was waiting for this sentence.
City Lord Liu’s original intention was that he should ride a horse.
But because the third prince wasted time, he asked Xia Yu to drive a sword and take Lord Liu with him.
It was the first time for Xia Yu to lead someone to wield a sword. He originally wanted to leave this opportunity to a beautiful woman. But there was no other way, so he had to take Lord Liu with him. The two of them stepped on the sword and turned into a rainbow, and rushed to the ghost market hundreds of miles away.
.
The place where the ghost market is located is called Lingquan Village.
It is said that many years ago, there was a spiritual spring well here, where senior monks drank the spiritual spring water, took out their various treasures, and communicated with each other.
Countless years have passed, and the Lingquan Well has long dried up, but the trading market has been fixed, twice a month.
In such a market, there are usually strong people to maintain order. Otherwise, every time someone breaks the rules, robs or steals, the market will not be able to continue.
The strong men in the ghost market in Lingquan Village are a pair of brothers. Both of them are in the Changhe Realm. They are considered the strongest casual cultivators within a thousand miles.
Therefore, the ghost market in Lingquan Village is very safe, and casual practitioners from all walks of life also like to come here to buy and sell things. Over the years, it has become a large market, which is very lively.
Xia Yu rushed here with Lord Liu City. It was already night, the bright moon was high, and various fire pots were lit in the ghost market. The lights were bright, and it was the most lively time.
