Ji Feichen did not like the atmosphere of the Peony Banquet.
A group of literati were reciting poems, looking very elegant. But to put it more bluntly, the male peacock was displaying his magnificent feathers in front of the female peacock to attract the attention of the opposite sex.
Seeing that many people were exchanging peonies, Ji Feichen said to Luo Qingyi, "You deal with it here, I will go to the back to investigate."
"Be careful where the Blood Sea is entrenched."
"Understood."
Ji Feichen quietly left and found servants to ask about the deaths a few days ago. However, the Premier's Residence was tight-lipped and Ji Feichen couldn't find anything.
"Strange, after a person dies, the body should be buried or there should be a morgue, right? But here, I can't feel any corpse energy. "Everything was covered by the evil energy of the Blood Sea and there were no other clues.
Standing in the garden, Ji Feichen was deep in thought.
At this time, Li Jingxun and the two maids also came out to relax.
Ji Feichen didn't want to meet her face to face and immediately moved to leave.
As the two of them walked past each other, Li Jingxun seemed to have thought of something when she saw the 'Sima' brought by Miss Wen, "Wait a minute, haven't we met before?" Her words made Ji Feichen feel guilty.
The woman turned, her bright eyes shooting out a sharp gaze to examine Ji Feichen, "Where are you from?"
Ji Feichen was worried that Li Jingxun would recognize his accent and purposely asked in a rough voice, "Miss, who are you? It seems like this is the first time we have met? Is this how you ask a first time person? "
"Cousin!" Luo Qingyi came over at this time and hooked her arm around Ji Feichen's. She smiled at Li Jingxun, "Sister, I heard that you are going to marry Cheng Wang Ye. Then you should stay at home for the time being. If you show your face every day, even if Fourth Wang Ye doesn't mind, wang fei will not let you off. Also, how dare you attend this kind of banquet? "
Luo Qingyi's eyes were filled with malice. Should they do something to this immortal girl and send her directly to the Peony Pavilion?
Ji Feichen patted her back and gave her a look. Luo Qingyi immediately restrained her thoughts, "Forget it, this is not a good time to make a move. Attracting the wrath of a Wang Ye is not good for our Yin Ming School. "
So, the two turned and left. Not long after, they left the Premier's Residence.
Luo Qingyi patted her chest and said, "Luo Qing, Feifei," However, we only met her face to face in Chuanyang Town. I didn't expect her to notice us already. "
"En." Ji Feichen also felt relieved. When Luo Qingyi was a teammate, she was still a qualified teammate, right? At least this time, thanks to her help, he managed to slip away from Li Jingxun.
"But I didn't expect that a cultivator like her would step into the mortal world. Moreover, her partner is Prince Cheng of Jing Yuan Palace."
"The current Fourth Prince?"
"Not bad, he's also very favored among the princes. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been given Jing Yuan Palace Hall as his bedchamber in the palace. "
"But I remember that other than the main wife, he also has a concubine and eight concubines?"
"That's right. Therefore, Li Jingxun's future was going to be interesting. He was not sure if Daode Buddhism was aware of this news. Or does Daode Buddhism have other plans? "
Ji Feichen thought about it and understood a little.
Elder Li had come to the capital personally to stop the internal pressure from Daode Buddhism, to prevent Zhang Yuanchu and the others from learning of the news and coming to the rescue. He was also concerned about Li Jingxun's reputation, so he did not report to Daode Buddhism. As for the other demonic cultivators, they would not go to Daode Buddhism to tell them. Therefore, Daode Buddhism probably had no idea what happened to Li Jingxun.
After all, Li Jingxun had been traveling with the owner of Yunxiao Pavilion all these years, and no one thought that something might have happened to her.
"We have to save her. Otherwise, it will be hard to explain to Daode Buddhism. "
"Oh, Senior Brother. Did you find any clues after being disturbed by Li Jingxun in the garden? "
"Nothing, but I think Mingchi County Magistrate is a little strange. I'll come again at night. I want to find out more about her. "
"Alright, according to our agreement with the Emperor Dynasty. It's not convenient for mortals to move around during the day. But after the curfew, things will be different. "The people from the Demon Sect came in waves, and most of them could be said to be a group of demons dancing around. Therefore, the Emperor Dynasty and the demonic cultivators made an agreement.
The day belonged to the Emperor Dynasty, and the night belonged to the demonic cultivators.
During the day, the demonic cultivators were not allowed to move around freely. But after the curfew, the demonic cultivators could settle their grudges and fight as they pleased. They just had to clean up the mess the next morning, and not let mortals know.
For the mortals to live and work in peace, they had to ensure the prosperity of the Capital City.
…
On the other side, the banquet was over. Li Jingxun said goodbye to Li Feiming.
"Mm, be careful." Li Feiming played with the peony flowers sent by Mingchi County Magistrate and was ready to go to Peony Pavilion. He ordered the maids to follow Li Jingxun, "Be careful when taking care of Miss. If anything goes wrong, you'll be in for it!"
The two maids nodded and left with Li Jingxun.
On the way back to the villa, Li Jingxun was deep in thought, thinking about the man she just saw.
At first, she felt that Ji Feichen was familiar, so she called out to him. When Luo Qingyi appeared, she immediately remembered what happened in Chuanyang Town. She did not recognize Ji Feichen, but she recognized Luo Qingyi's identity as a demonic cultivator.
"A demonic cultivator from Yin Ming School? Then, which prince are they supporting? "
The battle for the throne was the biggest storm in the Capital City. The demonic cultivators came one after another for this matter. Under the pressure of the Li family and his master, Li Jingxun had decided to support the fourth prince and teach them a lesson. For this, Li Jingxun had to consider the forces behind the other princes. This time, he came with Li Feiming to observe the situation in the Capital City.
From the intimacy of the ladies, he could see the relationship between the important officials of the imperial court.
"The Prime Minister claims to be orthodox and supports the Crown Prince. He also has the support of the Blood Sea. After all, the Blood Sea has been in the imperial court for decades. The birth of the Crown Prince and his ascension to the throne are all related to them. Others may change their minds, but the Blood Sea's interests are integrated with the Crown Prince. Most of the officials in the Eastern Palace are from the forces of the Blood Sea. "
The defeat of the Crown Prince meant that at least two-thirds of the Blood Sea's power in the imperial court would be removed.
"The Second Prince passed away a long time ago, so I didn't mention him. I can't see any supporters behind the Third Prince for now. I heard that the Fifth Prince invited a few statues to pray for his mother a few days ago. I can tell that they are from the White Lotus Pure Sect. "Li Jingxun thought of his encounter with a Miss Zhang in the garden not long ago.
That Miss Zhang was from the White Lotus Pure Sect and Madam Xuanzhen's disciple. She had secretly contacted Li Jingxun and brought Madam Xuanzhen's message.
"Madam Xuanzhen is staying in the temple built by the Fifth Prince. She probably wants to help me get out of trouble by meeting me now. Even if she can't use her full strength, it's not hard to tell Daode Buddhism. "
The Sixth Prince had also passed away, and the Seventh Prince was involved with the overseas forces. The Eighth and Ninth Princes were not favored by the Emperor. Although they had some forces behind them, it was not enough to fight for the throne.
"The Sky Heart Demon Sect is behind the Tenth Prince. The White Lotus Pure Sect, the Blood Sea, and the Sky Heart Demon Sect are the three major forces that have infiltrated the imperial court the most. So the Third Prince is most likely backed by the Yin Ming School? "
Suddenly, Li Jingxun felt that something was amiss. The carriage seemed to be taking a different route?
She quickly lifted the curtain and glanced at the remote street. "No, this way back doesn't lead to the side courtyard!"
"Ah?" The two maids beside her panicked. One of them walked up and gathered her courage to say, "Miss, you must be mistaken. This is clearly the way back to the side courtyard. "
"Yes, yes." The other nodded. "This should be a shortcut?"
The two of them grabbed Li Jingxun's arms, not letting her get up.
The woman was shocked, but she calmed down. "The two of you are the children of the Li Family. Your family's lives are in the hands of the Li Family. If you plot against me and ruin the Li Family's plan, you should know what the consequences will be. "
The two girls bit their lips and looked like they were about to cry. However, they still grabbed Li Jingxun's arms tightly. "Miss, you are thinking too much. This is indeed the way back. We were ordered by the Young Master to watch over you. You can't move. "
Li Jingxun didn't care about their quibbling. She said, "So that's how it is. Are you being threatened? So you are using the lives of your family to force you? Are you prepared to sacrifice yourselves? "
The body of the girl on the left trembled. Fear flashed in her eyes.
"Since your ancestors, your slave contracts have always been with the Li Family. You can be considered the Li Family's property. Even if the Li Family beats you to death, they will only punish you with a few taels of silver. As for the method of death, drowning, burning, or even being hanged, what are you prepared to choose? "
Indeed, the two girls were ordered by someone to grab Li Jingxun and bring her to a certain place. However, facing Li Jingxun's threat, and thinking of how the Li Family dealt with their servants, the two girls were filled with fear.
At this time, Li Jingxun brazenly made a move. Taking advantage of the two girls' distraction, he quickly tapped on their bodies. The two of them fainted on the spot and collapsed on the bed.
Li Jingxun settled the two of them down to prevent them from being injured by the violent shaking of the carriage. Then, her gaze fell on the coachman outside the carriage.
"This coachman is the Fourth Prince's man. If I think about it carefully, it's obvious who the mastermind is." Li Jingxun looked around and grabbed a pair of chopsticks. "I can't use magic here. I'm just a weak girl. Even if I can strike acupoints and knock someone unconscious, I might not be able to deal with a coachman in his prime."
After analyzing the gap between them and the enemy, Li Jingxun clenched her chopsticks and kicked the carriage door. However, at this moment, her expression changed. "It's locked from the outside?"
She immediately looked at the window beside her. With the sound of a mechanism being activated, the entire carriage was covered with a hard iron sheet. This was originally the Fourth Prince's way of defending against sneak attacks by arrows. However, at this moment, it had instead become a cage that trapped Li Jingxun.
Li Jingxun stood in the iron box, calm and composed. She did not panic at all as she calmly searched for a way to get out of this predicament. "Usually, this type of defense will have a corresponding mechanism to unlock the iron box from the inside." Li Jingxun searched in the carriage. From time to time, she would use her chopsticks to knock on the compartment, trying to find the location of the mechanism through the corresponding sounds.
Outside the carriage, after the coachman sealed the carriage, he fiercely whipped the horse and led the horse to charge into the city's waterway, intending to drown Li Jingxun.
"Young lady, I'm sorry. But who asked you to block our master's path? " The coachman jumped off the carriage and left, minding his own business. "With the two maids as companions, Acheron won't be lonely on the road."
