"What did you say? Do you know what you're saying? Impossible! Imperial Father wouldn't do that."
"Your Highness."
After hearing from Lie Zhanying (Xiao Jingyan's deputy general) that the Red Flame Army had been destroyed and that King Qi had committed suicide, Xiao Jingyan lost control completely. His eyes were bloodshot as he knelt on the ground.
Lie Zhanying knew that it was useless to say anything at this moment. Whether it was King Qi or the Red Flame Army, Xiao Jingyan had an unbreakable relationship with them. No one could accept such a sudden thing.
Zhan Ying, follow me back to Jinling."
Xiao Jingyan was very anxious and eager to know the truth of the matter. Lie Zhanying turned around and rushed to the army. He never had any doubts about Xiao Jingyan's orders. This was the reason why Xiao Jingyan trusted him the most.
Early this morning, Ni Huang received a letter from her younger brother Mu Qing in the capital. It recorded in detail the rumors of Chi Yan colluding with King Qi, and the Emperor of Liang's order to exterminate Chi Yan and force King Qi to death, which led to King Bai's departure.
Within a day, all her loved ones and close friends had disappeared under Emperor Liang's command. However, Ni Huang was not King Jing. She was intelligent, alert, brave, and resourceful.
"Ni Huang, I'll bring a few of my personal guards back to the city for now. You're naturally intelligent, so don't let your loyalty affect your decisions."
Ni Huang closed her eyes and took a deep breath while Mu Shen watched quietly from the side.
Father, the letter said that Xie Yu and Xia Jiang led the Imperial City Army to annihilate the Red Flame Army and the Imperial Army. Do you think it's credible?"
In terms of combat strength, the Imperial City Army was not even half as strong as these two armies. In terms of intelligence, Xie Yuxia and Jiang Chen were not even half as strong as Xuan Bu and Lin Xie. I'm afraid there's something hidden inside."
Ni Huang put down the letter in her hand and took out the token to mobilize the 100,000 cavalry in the Southern Region. She read it quietly. Mu Shen walked out of the tent without saying much. He trusted Ni Huang and believed that she would stick to her bottom line.
Brother Shu, I know that no matter what happens, the Red Flame Army won't do anything to harm Daliang. Wait for me, I'll help you clear your name."
"Men!"
"Greetings, Princess."
Jinling-Imperial Palace-
" Was I really wrong? But the evidence is conclusive. Why are there so many memorials to the Crimson Flame Case?"
In the royal study, Emperor Liang's face was very pale. All the memorials that had been submitted in the morning court recently were for him to re-examine the Scarlet Flame case.
" Your Majesty, it's very likely that these people are accomplices of King Qi. The evidence is conclusive, but you're still forcing Your Majesty. Has Your Majesty ever thought that if you order a re-examination of the Scarlet Flame case, your dignity will be completely gone at this moment?"
Retrial? Since you want a new trial, you can accompany King Qi.
Xia Jiang lowered his head and revealed a fierce expression. He did not let Emperor Liang see his expression, but Gao Zhan, who was beside him, saw it clearly.
As Xia Jiang had expected, Emperor Liang was really affected by his words. What Emperor Liang cared about the most was his face.
" Hmph, since that's the case, Xia Jiang, investigate all the people who submitted the report. If there are any heretics, kill them on the spot and report them later."
Emperor Liang's words made Gao Zhan break out in cold sweat. More than half of the ministers in the court were reporting this matter. If they were all killed, how many lives would it take?
Your Majesty, I will go down and arrange for people to investigate the remaining members of King Qi's party."
Emperor Liang said,"Go."
Gao Zhan used the corner of his eye to observe the sinister smile on Xia Jiang's face when he took three steps back and turned around to leave. He immediately felt his heart palpitate.
"Gao Zhan! What do you think I should do about Jing Bai?"
Gao Zhan knew that Emperor Liang didn't want to punish King Bai, but he wanted to hear the answer he wanted from him.
The reason why Gao Zhan was able to stay by Emperor Liang's side for so long was that other than being extremely wise, he was also very familiar with Emperor Liang's inner thoughts.
Accompanying the emperor was like accompanying a tiger. After understanding Emperor Liang's style, every word Gao Zhan said was what Emperor Liang wanted to hear.
Langya Mountain-
Langya Pavilion-
Dong! Dong! Dong! His Highness White King arrived.
" A set of white hair draped over her shoulders, her head lowered, the moon pressed like a sword."
The old Pavilion Master, who was standing on the top of Langya Mysterious Peak, sighed. Seeing the valiant Xiao Jingbai walk up the mountain, the old Pavilion Master couldn't help but improvise a poem.
Lin Chen, who was beside him, rolled his eyes. He knew very well what kind of person his father was. It was undeniable that Xiao Jingbai had an extraordinary temperament, but according to the habits of the old Pavilion Master, the next sentence should be.
You still have half of my elegance back then. Sigh."
Pa! Lin Chen covered his face in shame. As expected, the old pavilion master was still so narcissistic.
Father, why aren't you going to the main hall to receive him? The White Prince is here to treat Lin Shu."
" What do you know? Only the last person to appear can show how extraordinary he is."
Kacha
Lin Chen's folding fan broke because he used too much force. He endured his disgust and jumped down from the entrance to the door of Langya Pavilion.
After Xiao Jingbai greeted the disciples of Langya Mountain Sect, the other party slowly brought him up to Langya Pavilion. The scenery along the way was refreshing.
The disciple who led the way smiled and said,"Your Highness White King, the scenery in Langya Pavilion is even better. Please follow me."
The two of them walked up to the top of Langya Mountain one after another. When they reached the entrance of Langya Pavilion Master, they saw that the young pavilion master was already waiting there.
Before they reached the main gate, Xiao Jingbai took the lead and cupped his hands. Seeing this, Lin Chen hurriedly cupped his hands in return.
Your Highness White King, what are you doing? If my father finds out, he'll break my legs."
Xiao Jingbai smiled and blew his long white hair behind him.
"Lin Shu and I didn't do the ceremony of becoming sworn brothers, but we are like brothers. Langya Pavilion spared no effort to go to Merlin to save him from fire and water. This gift is worthy."
"Your Highness White King, this is a little too serious. Father and Lin Shuai are best friends since young, and with the loyalty and righteousness of the Scarlet Flame Soul, we will do this for both public and private matters."
Normally, this was definitely not Lin Chen's style. Moreover, the other party was a few years younger than him. However, for some reason, he could always suppress his mischievous nature when he saw the White King and respect him.
Lin Chen brought Xiao Jingbai to the Medical Pavilion and introduced the colorful scenic spots of Langya Pavilion along the way.
Ever since Xiao Jingbai came to this world, he had heard that Langya Mountain had a vast landscape and pleasant scenery. It was known as the world's most beautiful scenery. It was indeed worthy of its reputation after seeing it today.
Stepping into the Medical Pavilion, the rich smell of medicinal herbs filled the surroundings. What made people curious was that the smell of medicinal herbs here not only did not disgust people, but also had the effect of refreshing people.
"Awakening Incense."
Xiao Jingbai suddenly said a name. Lin Chen, who was beside him, looked at him in surprise.
" You actually recognize the Awakening Incense?"
White,"Spirit Awakening Fragrance. It grows in extremely cold deep pools and is protected by rare beasts. This herb has the effect of refreshing the mind, relieving pain, and calming the mind. It's rumored that Hua Tuo used this to treat Guan Yu's wounds so that he wouldn't feel pain."
" Rumor has it that His Highness White King is obsessed with swordsmanship all day long and doesn't care about anything else. From the looks of it, the rumors aren't credible."
Ignoring the other party's flattery, Xiao Jingbai walked straight to Lin Shu who was lying on the bed. At this time, Lin Shu's body had already begun to grow hair, and her ten fingernails were slightly red.
Suddenly, Lin Shu opened her eyes and let out the sound of a wild beast. The surrounding Lang Ya disciples were shocked by the scene in front of them.
" Go find the old pavilion master. I'll stall him here."
Xiao Jingbai snorted coldly. The power of the Mind Sword pressed down on Lin Shu, but the demonized Lin Shu was not affected at all. She ran crazily towards the door.
" Not good, it's soulless. It's driven by instinct."
The power of the Mind Sword was an ability to intimidate the minds of others, but Lin Shu was in an unconscious state at the moment. Her body was out of the control of her mind, and she was completely relying on her human instincts to escape.
Xiao Jingbai's figure swayed and quickly blocked in front of Lin Shu. His index finger and middle finger pointed at the other party's forehead.
Lin Shu sat on the ground as if she had been electrocuted. At this moment, the old pavilion master and Lin Chen had also rushed over.
" Your Highness White King."
There's no need to be so polite. Old Pavilion Master, take a look at why Lin Shu suddenly went crazy."
Several disciples carried Lin Shu back to the bed. The old pavilion master opened Lin Shu's eyelids. At this moment, his pupils were bloodshot.
" I didn't expect the poison to seep through so quickly. Your Highness White King, we need to save him now. Let Lin Shu wake up first before letting him decide which treatment method to use."
"There's no need."
Xiao Jingbai said firmly. Even if he didn't know the plot, with Lin Shu's character, she would definitely choose the method of scraping bones to heal her injuries.
" He'll choose to scrape his bones to heal himself. Old Pavilion Master, do it. I understand him."
"But alright, Lin Chen, bring the golden needles over. Your Highness, when I ask you to release your sword aura, release it immediately."
"Alright."
The other members of the Medical Pavilion were chased out of the door, leaving only Xiao Jingbai, Lin Chen, the old Pavilion Master, and Lin Shu on the hospital bed.
The position of the golden needle in the old pavilion master's hand kept changing. Soon, thousands of small bloody holes appeared on Lin Shu's body. The internal strength of the old pavilion master flowed into Lin Shu's body through the bloody holes.
361 major acupoints were sealed by the internal force, and 922 acupoints were stopped in place. The old pavilion master picked up a sharp knife on the table and moved it around Lin Shu's body. Lin Shu's skin slowly disintegrated in a regular manner.
In a short while, a neat piece of human skin peeled off Lin Shu's body. Xiao Jingbai looked at Lin Shu, whose flesh and blood were badly mutilated and bones were clearly visible. His heart turned cold and he secretly hated himself for not leaving the sword code earlier.
Otherwise, he would never let his good friend suffer such a disaster. After the human skin was peeled off, the old pavilion master quickly tapped on some of Lin Shu's hidden bones.
Many raindrop-sized blood clots fell from the spot that was touched, and they were already solidified.
The blood clots were scorching hot. When Lin Chen put on his gloves to pick up the blood clots, a layer of frost covered his gloves.
" The poison of fire and frost is indeed worthy of its reputation. The temperature of the fire and frost crystals formed is so high that it turns everything it touches into frost."
Lin Chen shattered the glove with a casual shake. At this moment, the fire and cold poison in Lin Shu's body had been mostly removed.
"Oh no!"
The old pavilion master suddenly frowned. Xiao Jingbai's heart tightened as he suppressed his worry and asked.
"Old Pavilion Master, is there any change?"
" Before Lin Shu was poisoned by the fire and cold, there were several penetrating wounds on his body. Some of them penetrated his bone marrow, and the fire and cold poison entered his bone marrow through these holes.
Bai said," Can't you solve it?"
The old pavilion master shook his head and slowly put down the saber in his hand.
The old pavilion master paused for a moment, then gently slid his finger across Lin Shu's bones and said solemnly.
" However, there's no way to eliminate the fire and cold seals that have entered the bone marrow unless the bone marrow is extracted. If we do that, even if Lin Shu recovers, he'll still be a cripple lying in bed."
Xiao Jingbai's heart fell to the bottom of the valley. No wonder in the original novel, Lin Shu chose to scrape her bones to heal her injuries and could not completely remove the poison. It turned out that the fire and cold poison had already invaded her bone marrow.
" Or you can find someone who can cultivate the Sunrise Mantra to the highest level and pour all of your inner energy into your body to detoxify the poison."
Sunny Day Formula? What a familiar name.
Sunrise Mantra! Wasn't this the martial arts that Fei Liu practiced in the original novel?
"It seems that my butterfly is not enough to change the plot of Langya."
" Your Highness, what butterfly did you say?
Lin Chen, who had overheard Xiao Jingbai's muttering, asked doubtfully. The latter shook his head.
" Old Pavilion Master, if I cultivate the Sunrise Mantra and pour it into Lin Shu's body, will this method work?
"Your Highness, it's not that I want to strike you down, but there's a very harsh condition to cultivating the Sunrise Mantra. One's body must contain a sinister aura, and only those who lack the image of a relaxed Yang can rest. If an ordinary person cultivates it easily, there will be a phenomenon of a fire burning in their body."
Xiao Jingbai frowned and looked at it according to what the old Pavilion Master said.
The characteristics of the Sunrise Mantra should be the same as the Nine Yang Divine Skill in Jin Yong's world. If it wasn't for Zhang Wuji's Divine Drama's Ice Poison, he wouldn't have been able to achieve anything in the Nine Yang Divine Skill.
Feiliu was originally a puppet of the Japanese Secret Ninja Organization. The mental cultivation method he had originally practiced was too harmful to his body. After forcefully practicing it, his power would be fierce. However, he would lose his lifespan and learn a kind of Sunrise Mantra to resolve the sinister qi in his body. As a result, his inner breath had the signs of relaxing.
" Then how should we resolve Lin Shu's situation? Should we let the fire poison remain in her bone marrow?"
Thirteen years? Twelve years later, Lin Shu would return to the capital under the alias of Mei Changsu.
" Your Highness, this is the only way for now. There's no other way. I'll open Lin Shu's dantian later and you can shoot a sword qi into it. This cut is only half a finger big, so please be careful, Your Highness."
Xiao Jingbai nodded. This was not difficult. Even if the Sword Qi passed through an ant-sized hole, it would not be a problem.
