Chapter 54: Princess Longji visits for the second time

The next day.

Early in the morning, Shang Rong arrived outside Zhaoge City.

He looked up at the sky, which was overcast.

He always had a bad premonition that this trip might not go so smoothly.

Just as Shang Rong was about to step into the city gate, suddenly, a huge and heavy stone block on the city wall fell down without warning.

The stone block carried the momentum of ten thousand jun and smashed straight toward Shang Rong at an astonishing speed.

Shang Rong couldn't react in time, and with a loud "bang", the stone block smashed heavily on his head.

Instantly, blood splattered, and Shang Rong couldn't even let out a scream before his eyes went black and he fell to the ground.

His body twitched a few times on the ground, and then there was no movement.

This sudden tragedy stunned the surrounding people, and after a brief silence, there was a burst of exclamation.

"Oh my god, it's the old Prime Minister! He was smashed to death by a stone block!"

"The old Prime Minister spent his life for the country, I didn't expect him to encounter such a sudden disaster."

In the corner.

Gu Xiu walked out, glanced at Shang Rong on the ground, his eyes indifferent.

This could be considered giving Shang Rong some face, as for whether the Chan Sect would still invest him as a god, it was unknown.

The Zhaoge matter was over, so he summoned the Water-Fire Qilin and pulled him toward 'Qinglan Residence'.

Sitting on the treasure carriage, he felt a bit lucky.

Since he knew this was the Investiture of the Gods, every time he started a massacre, he would always be stained with some karma. Fortunately, he had condensed the golden wheel of merit, otherwise, how much karma would he have to be stained with in the future.

Qinglan Residence, peach blossoms burning, like smoke and clouds.

When he left, he put the puppet here, so during the time he was away, the puppet took good care of this place.

Gu Xiu came to the courtyard and sat at the stone table, couldn't help but think of the hundred years he lived here with Yun Xiao.

The resentment toward the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect increased a bit more in his heart.

He swore not to be a human until he sent the Twelve Golden Immortals to the list.

Suddenly, on the horizon, a gorgeous green shadow appeared.

A divine and extraordinary green luan came here, its wings spread, green light flowing, and every time it flapped its wings, it caused the wind and clouds to change.

On the green luan stood a female immortal.

Her face was delicate, her figure graceful, her skin better than snow, and her red lips were red without being painted.

A white dress fluttered with the wind, like a fairy from the nine heavens descending to the mortal world.

"Green Luan?" Gu Xiu remembered that Yun Xiao's mount was also a green luan.

But looking closely, the female immortal standing on the green luan was Princess Longji.

Princess Longji's expression was cold, and her gaze looked toward the bamboo house.

Feeling the other party's gaze, Gu Xiu was puzzled.

"It looks like she is coming here, but the words that should have been said were already said, and I even angered her away. I don't know what Princess Longji wants to do by coming here at this time..."

While thinking, the green luan flew outside Qinglan Residence.

Princess Longji jumped down lightly and walked in.

Her lotus steps moved lightly, and she came to Gu Xiu: "Gu Xiu, what do you mean?"

As soon as she came over, she said a sentence that made Gu Xiu confused.

"Princess Longji's words, I don't quite understand. Could it be that you are not here specifically to discuss the Dao with me today?"

Princess Longji bit her lower lip and finally said: "The Hong Jin you told me about last time, I sent someone to check, and he is a third-generation disciple of your Jie Sect."

"Princess Longji, are you here to hold me accountable?" The other party was the daughter of the Heavenly Emperor and possessed the intelligence network of the entire Heavenly Court. It was normal for her to find out Hong Jin's information so quickly.

Princess Longji gave a coquettish huff: "I have never seen Hong Jin. Why did you say that kind of thing at that time, saying that I would have a happy marriage with Hong Jin in the future?"

Gu Xiu smiled: "Princess, don't be anxious. This matter is a long story. What I said is not groundless."

Princess Longji's beautiful brows furrowed, and her beautiful eyes were full of anger: "Nonsense! I am a princess of the Heavenly Court, how could I have a marriage with a third-generation disciple of your Jie Sect? Don't spout nonsense here."

"Princess, just take it as my nonsense. After all, things haven't happened yet. Instead of asking me, Princess, you might as well ask the Old Man of Moon Union."

He didn't want to explain too much, and Gu Xiu wasn't sure if Princess Longji really had a marriage with Hong Jin.

But later, the Immortal Fuyuan and the Old Man of Moon Union did forcibly make the two have a marriage. As for the reason, only the two of them knew.

"You admit that you are spouting nonsense, I don't want to hear such words in the future."

Princess Longji's chest heaved, and after saying that, she turned and left.

The green luan had been waiting outside Qinglan Residence for a long time, and seeing Princess Longji come out, it chirped.

Princess Longji was full of anger, jumped lightly, and landed on the green luan's back.

The green luan raised its head and roared, taking her away. Its green wings crossed the white clouds, and soon it turned into a green stream of light, disappearing into the horizon.

Gu Xiu stood in the courtyard of Qinglan Residence and shook his head.

"It seems she is used to being pampered, being so unreasonable."

……

Mount Zhongnan, Yuzhudong.

Returning from Zhaoge, Yun Zhongzi imagined Wen Zhong leaving and the court being in turmoil.

As a result, his heart palpitated, as if something bad had happened.

Pinching his fingers to calculate the source of this anxiety, his face became increasingly heavy.

"Shang Rong is dead? But it seems it didn't go according to plan?"

The original plan was to let Shang Rong use the identity of the old Prime Minister to remonstrate in the court and say some loyal words that were unpleasant to the ear, angering Di Xin.

To show loyalty in a justified way, crash to death in the court, causing the officials to be cold-hearted.

Shang Rong would also get a good reputation for remonstrating to death, and Di Xin would also logically bear the name of a muddled king again.

The Chan Sect could also regain the advantage.

I didn't expect the good plan to be ruined again.

Yun Zhongzi immediately went to Zhaoge to inquire about the situation and learned that Shang Rong was smashed by a falling stone on the city wall when he entered the city.

Looking up, the stone wall on the city wall, the suspicion in Yun Zhongzi's eyes deepened.

"Shang Rong's life should not end here. These stone walls are incomparably strong. If they fall suddenly, someone must have done something."

"It seems that those 'fur-clad and horned' types of the Jie Sect are not just people with strong limbs and simple minds. It is better to tell the teacher about this matter."

……

Mount Kunlun.

Jade Void Palace.

Yuanshi Tianzun closed his eyes slightly, as if thinking, and as if observing all things in the world.

Suddenly, a golden light flow post flew in, breaking the tranquility of the Jade Void Palace.

Yuanshi Tianzun opened his eyes slightly, and after taking the information from the flow post, his brows furrowed.

"The plot in Zhaoge failed again?"

He was very puzzled in his heart, and a flash of suspicion flashed in his deep eyes.

"Why can the people of the Jie Sect always be one step ahead of my sect and destroy our plans?"

Thinking about it, he called the White Crane Boy in.

"White Crane, go and call Antarctic Immortal Weng."

"Yes, Saint Master." After saying that, the White Crane Boy turned and left in a hurry.

Before long, Antarctic Immortal Weng rushed over, entered the hall, his expression respectful, and bowed to salute: "Disciple greets Teacher."

Yuanshi Tianzun opened his eyes slightly, looked at Antarctic Immortal Weng and said: "The Zhaoge matter, my sect's plot has been frustrated again, Antarctic, what is your opinion on this?" ===== CHAPTER 55 =====
