But since that man can know the Crown Princess, it is not surprising that he knows Wu Hai.
Zhao Wuyou hesitated on the side whether to hand over the man's jade pendant to Wu Hai, and by the way asked Wu Hai to hand over the jade pendant to the Crown Princess. In this way, he could be regarded as completing his request.
After Wu Hai paid homage, he turned back to look at Zhao Wuyou with hostile eyes and said seriously:
"Zhao Wuyou, did this person say anything to you before he died?"
"No, when I arrived, the person was already dead." Zhao Wuyou couldn't figure out what Wu Hai was thinking, so he had to hide the fact.
The latter heard Zhao Wuyou's affirmative words, but still didn't believe it. He continued to ask:
"This is a matter of life and death, so you'd better not lie."
"Bullshit, believe it or not. If you don't believe it, let me down. If you have nothing to do, go down the mountain and do your job. I don't want to see you yet." With that, he took Banban with him and was about to go down the mountain.
Wu Hai, who was scolded, was not that angry. He stared blankly at Zhao Wuyou's leaving figure, clenching his fists secretly.
As Ponyboy, Jiang Xiaojiang could only figure out what he meant, so he quickly whispered in his ear:
"Brother Hai, are you afraid that this bastard will know about the relationship between Qin Xiaofeng and the Crown Princess, or do you think this matter is not that simple?"
"What if I doubt it?" Wu Hai looked at him and said.
As a gold medal Ponyboy, the latter naturally knew Wu Hai's acting style, so he lay in his ear and whispered:
"It's easy. The best thing to do is to invite him for a drink and test whether it's true or not.
The middle strategy is to send him to prison, let him suffer a little, and then ask him whether he is true or false.
The next best thing is to ask the Crown Princess about this matter at a suitable time in the future."
Wu Hai shook his head and after weighing it in his mind for a long time, he felt that none of these three methods were good. Not only were they difficult to implement, but they would also cause unnecessary trouble.
Now is the critical moment for him to replace Zhao Wuyou, there is no need to mess up his position because of such an incident.
"We'll talk about this later, but if you send someone to monitor him, you can't let him do anything evil."
After instructing his men about the next steps, Wu Hai looked at the wordless monument that Zhao Wuyou had set up for Qin Xiaofeng, and then walked down the mountain with a heavy heart.
"Master, this Wu Hai seems to have special feelings for the dead person. Is it possible that that person is really related to the Crown Princess?" The two sisters looked at Zhao Wuyou with serious expressions on their faces.
he.
Inside the cabin, there was silence at first, and then Zhao Wuyou let out a long sigh:
"This matter is not important. The important thing is that he is dead. There is no need for us to dwell on this anymore."
After saying that, he left the wooden house alone and walked to the hot spring, soaking in the hot spring and thinking about things.
When he opened his eyes again, it was already evening. Zhao Wuyou was about to leave, but unexpectedly saw the appearance of Long Shengyi, who had not been seen for a long time. She approached slowly with a smile on her face.
As she approached the hot spring, she revealed her true colors.
"What's going on, this woman has made such rapid progress?" Zhao Wuyou was puzzled. He didn't expect that this Dragon Saint Clothes could make such fast progress.
Has she found someone to practice the dragon and phoenix harmony with her again?
Feeling a little unhappy in his heart, he stood up and put on his clothes, ignoring the Dragon Saint Clothes.
The latter jumped into the hot spring pool generously and ignored him.
However, people who are tempted are always less able to endure than those who are determined.
Just when he was about to leave the hot spring pool, Long Shengyi couldn't help it. She looked at Zhao Wuyou's back and said:
"We haven't seen each other for so long. You don't wonder why my cultivation has improved so fast. You don't ask why I want you to help the emperor. Why don't you even have the desire to practice dragon and phoenix harmony with me now?"
Hearing this, Zhao Wuyou turned his head and replied angrily:
"What's the point? Your cultivation has improved so fast. It seems that there are many people practicing dragon and phoenix harmony with you on weekdays. As for why you want me to support the emperor, there is no need to mention this matter again. It has already happened anyway.
My strength has also been weakened by half.
Now I can only live on the hill every day, eating and drinking. As for the major events in the capital, I can no longer get involved in any of them."
Saying that, Zhao Wuyou moved his legs to leave again, but was wrapped in the Dragon Saint Clothes that transformed into a fierce dragon and returned to the hot spring pool.
"It's not that easy to leave. I worked so hard to find you. Am I just asking you to show off to me?"
The man who was being stared at felt a little aggrieved. He spread his hands indifferently and said, "That's it anyway. If you want to explain to me, I'll listen. If you don't explain to me, I'll leave. Anyway, if we form an alliance with you, I won't."
What good things have happened to you?
Recently, one bad thing has happened one after another, and there really is nothing worth mentioning that I am interested in anymore."
"Aren't you even interested in improving your strength and obtaining the essence of a thousand leopards?" Long Shengyi escaped from the void and a palm-sized bottle appeared. Zhao Wuyou could not see clearly what was inside.
She approached slowly, raised it in front of him, and said proudly:
"These are the rewards you got. Although they are not much, they are better than nothing. Even the emperor of your Fengming Empire did not get as much as you."
Zhao Wuyou, who was excited in his heart, did not say anything. He now believed that the bottle contained the essence of a thousand leopards. As for why it was given to him, it was to share it.
Believing that she held the essence of the leopard in her hand, Zhao Wuyou also understood why she had to cooperate with the emperor and why the emperor told the story of the disappearance of the leopard tribe.
Emotions are a matter of internal and external cooperation. On the surface, the emperor eliminated the traitors around him, and by the way, borrowed part of the power of the Wild Wolf tribe to eliminate the power of the Leopard tribe to cooperate with the great elder to cause rebellion.
But in fact, the Wild Wolf Tribe has cooperated to wipe out the entire Leopard Tribe. As for the role played by the Dragon Saint Clothes, Zhao Wuyou cannot guess clearly, but based on what she just said, she can be sure that
That is, Long Shengyi got more benefits from this plan than the emperor.
And the emperor should not know about her existence. It can even be said that the emperor is also called a pawn of the Dragon Saint Clothes.
"Then what should I do now? I will digest the essence of these thousand leopards without mercy, and try to complete the materialization like you earlier?"
When she reached out to take the bottle of essence, Long Shengyi swung her arm back. She looked at Zhao Wuyou with dissatisfaction and said angrily:
"Although you left just now, who asked you to shun me? Besides, aren't you unhappy now? What qualifications do you have to receive the reward of a thousand leopard essences?
Do you know that even the entire Tiger Tribe has only obtained less than 20,000 essences, and you have to capture a thousand of them by yourself, do you think you are worthy?"
"I'm not worthy, then I'm going to leave?"
Zhao Wuyou, who didn't want to be humiliated by Long Shengyi's words, simply stood up and left.
But before he could leave the hot spring pool, he saw Long Shengyi running up to him, pinching his nose, and feeding him a thousand leopard essences.
Like burning coals entering his throat, the hot essence streaked across every part of Zhao Wuyou's skin, pouring his burning pain into the hot spring pool.
Long Shengyi showed no expression, but put on his clothes and stood by the hot spring pool, looking at Zhao Wuyou who was already floating on the water.
The temperature of the water surface continued to rise, even approaching boiling. Zhao Wuyou felt as if he had been on a steamer, and his whole body was extremely hot.
After a while, it felt like I was on a snow-capped mountain. My whole body was shivering with cold, and even the hot springs became extremely cold.
Zhao Wuyou, who was in a mysterious realm, did not dare to relax. He was secretly running his own supreme scripture in his heart, praying in his heart that he could absorb these essences quickly.
Gradually, his body functions even reached the final moment, but he still did not give up, always struggling in place, trying to break through such shackles.
Long Shengyi was observing the whole process. She actually felt that Zhao Wuyou could not withstand such a powerful force alone, but she still wanted to give it a try, just in case he could break through his limits.
Some red blood drops appeared on Zhao Wuyou's body, and there were blood stains and black spots on them. As for what was inside, Zhao Wuyou didn't know, and neither did Long Shengyi.
But she knew that once Zhao Wuyou broke through her, his future achievements would be simply immeasurable, and he might really become the next Zhou Zhentian.
In the deep consciousness, Zhao Wuyou sat quietly on the side, using his own strength to digest the leopard essence. Although he was trembling and uncomfortable, he did not give up.
After a long time, Zhao Wuyou's body slowly recovered, and a smile appeared on Long Shengyi's lips. She had indeed made the right bet.
Soon, Zhao Wuyou opened his eyes. The dragon and phoenix essences in him complemented each other, seeming to be fighting for the throne.
But Long Shengyi didn't notice that Zhao Wuyou's blood entered Qin Xiaofeng's jade pendant, and the spiritual power released from it was nourishing him.
The more and more dark impurities appearing on his body are also due to this pair of jade pendants.
Until the end, Zhao Wuyou finally completed the absorption and displayed a pair of phoenix wings. He arrogantly pounced on the Dragon Saint Clothes, as if he had been waiting for a long time.
"Hmph, today I'm going to have a battle with you to see who is more powerful, your dragon or my phoenix."
Long Shengyi did not expect that Zhao Wuyou would break through and come to seek revenge on her. She was not prepared at all and was no match for the majestic Zhao Wuyou.
Neither of the two people was willing to admit defeat, and they desperately mobilized their body's strength to circulate and absorb it. The power of Longfeng and Ming also exerted its maximum effect while doing so.
After five days and four nights, Zhao Wuyou finally came out of the hot spring pool in high spirits, and the defeated man was looking at him with hatred on his face.
"You scum, I really didn't expect that you could be so powerful now, and that your dragon, phoenix and singing powers are so strong.
You still dare to say that you have no one else, now your secret is exposed, right?"
Long Shengyi's scolding was of no use, Zhao Wuyou just pretended not to care.
"I don't know who begged me for mercy just now."
After a brief quarrel, Zhao Wuyou pulled Long Shengyi out of the hot spring pool, and the two started a new plan.
"Now that I have completed my cultivation of the essence of a thousand leopards, I still only have one pair of phoenix wings and cannot become the essence. What do you think is the reason for this?"
When Zhao Wuyou spoke, he still had no shame. Even if Long Shengyi wanted to scold him, he could only let it go as he was unable to keep up with his physical strength.
"You may still need to absorb some more power, so that you can develop a substantial Phoenix physique.
If you really succeed in cultivation, the emperor of your Fengming Empire will not be your opponent, and maybe you will be able to fight against the masters of the mythical beast tribe."
In the face of Long Shengyi's paintings, although Zhao Wuyou's trust level was not good, it was better than trying to figure it out on his own.
"Then I'll take my time. This time I've made a lot of progress. Overall, it's a situation worth celebrating.
But how come you are so weak and you are already defeated before I try my best?"
Seeing him asking such a shameless question, Long Shengyi turned over and bit Zhao Wuyou's arm, biting tightly and refusing to let go.
It wasn't until he really had no strength that Long Shengyi let go.
She did not forget to mock:
"It's not that your real strength exceeds mine, but that your power in cultivating dragons and phoenixes and singing surpasses mine. Zhao Wuyou, it's really not easy for you to have a confidante when you are looked at so harshly."
"Hey, as you say, no matter how hard you suffer, you can't hurt others." Zhao Wuyou said with dignity and awe.
"Shameless scum." Long Shengyi struggled to get up, but still did not forget to remind Zhao Wuyou:
"No matter how powerful you are, try not to expose your cultivation level in vain. There are many people watching around you, so don't let down your guard."
Seeing that Long Shengyi could talk to him so seriously, Zhao Wuyou was overjoyed. He stood up and helped Long Shengyi tidy up his hair thoughtfully, not forgetting to confess his affectionately:
"I've known you for so long, and I just heard you say something humane."
"Plop"
Long Shengyi glanced at Zhao Wuyou, who was kicked into the water by his kick, and cursed secretly before leaving.
"This stinky bitch, isn't she even allowed to tell the truth?" Zhao Wuyou pulled him out of the water and said obediently after getting an advantage.
But now he is not interested in thinking about the Dragon Saint Clothes anymore, and is going back to the cabin to see what strange things happened in his Yangjiao Mountain.
After disappearing for nearly ten days, although he did not doubt the loyalty of his men, he could not believe that Yangjiao Mountain would remain unchanged.
As expected, when Zhao Wuyou walked to the old wooden house, he saw several of his direct relatives discussing countermeasures. He didn't know what kind of killer move Wu Hai had made to put them in such a difficult situation.
"Everyone, what are you worried about? If you have any troubles, you can tell me." Zhao Wuyou smiled and looked at everyone.
"Sir, you disappeared for almost ten days, but you are back." Bingqing Yujie cried, ran to Zhao Wuyou, lay on him and cried bitterly.
