Chapter 502 First Attack
Hua Yu received a report from a servant that Zhuo Yichen and his companions were in danger in Liushui Town and seemed to be trapped.
"Yuanbao is trapped? What's going on? Tell me!"
When Hua Yu first heard what the servants said, he was a little confused. Yuanbao's skills and spells were all taught by him and his brother personally, and they were mixed with Bingyi's swordsmanship. He was also accompanied by Zhu Yan, the top demon in the Wilderness. Although the goddess Bai Ze could not use Bai Ze's divine power, she could also give some warnings. With so many helpers around him, how could Yuanbao be trapped?
"Your Highness, it was Cheng Huang! I don't know whose power he borrowed, but he actually used illusions to separate Your Highness, the Goddess Bai Ze, Zhu Yan, the Little Mountain God, Lord Pei, Bai Jiu and Pei Sihuan, and defeated them one by one."
The man knelt on the floor in front of Hua Yu and reported in a trembling voice.
"Cheng Huang? Didn't he die with the first generation of Bai Ze Goddess? How did he come back to life?"
Hua Yu heard an unexpected name from the report of his servants. It turned out that when the first generation of Bai Ze goddess died, Cheng Huang died with him because he could not accept such a fact.
"I don't know about that! But, Your Highness, they are now trapped in the sundial by Cheng Huang. Do we want to?"
Hua Yu just waved her hand after hearing this, "No need! Yuan Bao should also have some experience. He can't rely on us for everything."
"How about this! You stay near the sundial, and if they can come out safely, escort them back to Tiandu. If they still haven't come out after seven days, send people in to search and rescue them, and then send people to find me!"
"This! Your Highness is still young after all. How can you face Shang Sheng Huang without any preparation?"
After hearing what Hua Yu said, the servant looked at Hua Yu with some embarrassment.
"If Cheng Huang, who was formed by obsession, can't even deal with this, then he is unworthy of being the child of Bing Yi and Ying Long!"
"Yes!"
After Hua Yu sent someone down, she still opened the water mirror out of concern and secretly peeked at Zhuo Yichen and the others who were trapped in the sundial through the water mirror.
"What's wrong? Why are you so sad?"
"I always feel like something is wrong! But I can't tell what it is!"
"Is there anything else you think is wrong?"
"Go away! What do you know, little brat? Go play with your poison!"
Li Lun always felt a sense of distress in his heart, as if something was about to happen and that it had something to do with him. However, he had not left the palace recently, so how could something happen?
Gong Yuanzheng curled his lips and continued to tinker with his new herb.
"I'm going to be out for a while. You stay in the palace and don't go anywhere!"
"Is there any dangerous place at the palace gate?" Gong Yuanzheng said nonchalantly.
Gong Yuanzheng flipped through the ancient books on the table, "Tianxingzi, Qingzhuzi, Zixuanhua, Hanyin Zhenzhi, Jade Bone, Wuxuansui..."
Li Lun heard Gong Yuanzheng muttering, "What book are you reading? Why are all the records of things that have become extinct in the Great Wilderness?"
Gong Yuanzheng closed the book and said, "I don't know! Isn't this what you brought me last time? What's wrong?"
Li Lun was stunned for a moment and then returned to normal. "Nothing, I guess I took the wrong one! Give it to me first! I'll change it for you when I go back. This book is full of useless things."
Li Lun took the book from Gong Yuanzheng's hand while Gong Yuanzheng was still not able to react, then turned into a locust leaf and ran away.
Gong Yuanzheng looked at the puzzled Li Lun and didn't care that he took the book away, because he had already finished reading the book a long time ago and had memorized it all in his mind.
However, looking at Li Lun's expression, there must be something wrong with the book! But he was already halfway through his research and couldn't stop halfway!
Gong Yuanzheng finally chose to continue. As for testing the medicine, there were so many medicine men in the Zheng Palace for him to use. If all else failed, there was also the substitute puppet he brought from his father's private storehouse, which allowed him to perfectly experience the feeling of the poison without having to test it himself.
Everything was calm inside the Zheng Palace, but outside the Zheng Palace, except for the Jiao Palace, the rest of the place was stormy!
Ever since Gong Ziyu found out that his brother Gong Huanyu was not dead, he heard the bad news before he could be happy. It turned out that his father was killed by his most trusted brother and most respected aunt, and his aunt was actually a sharp assassin!
Gong Ziyu never thought that he had been living a lie all along, and what's more, his brother wanted to stab him again in the broken heart.
Gong Ziyu always thought that his mother died of depression, but was told by Gong Huanyu that his mother was just a chess piece thrown away by his father in order to completely control the palace. His mother was forced to death by his father just to make his aunt, Ming Wu Ji, the assassin planted in the palace by Wu Feng, take the throne.
After Gong Ziyu stumbled back to Yu Palace, he drove everyone out of Yu Palace, even leaving Jin Fan, whom he trusted the most, behind.
Jin Fan looked at Gong Ziyu who was in a bad state and could only ask Gong Zishang for help first, "Miss! I don't know where Gong Ziyu went today. After she came back, she drove everyone out of Yu Palace and stayed alone in Yu Palace."
Gong Zishang was researching new weapons in her laboratory. Ideas were coming to her mind, but she was interrupted by Jin Fan who suddenly broke in. How could she give him a good look?
"Guard Jin! This is my palace master's research room. Didn't I tell the people outside not to come in and disturb my research without my instructions or important matters? How come Guard Jin can ignore the words of the palace master just because he is a personal guard with a blade?"
It was also the first time that Jin Fan saw Gong Zishang mention her identity as the Palace Master of Shang Palace. He was unable to react for a moment, and before he could speak again, he was driven out by Gong Zishang.
"Someone, please ask Guard Jin to leave! Tell him clearly what his duties as a guard are!"
After Gong Zishang called the guards at the door in, she directly ordered someone to drive Jin Fan out, and then instructed the guards at the door again that no one was allowed to come in and disturb her unless it was an important matter in the palace!
After Jin Fan was driven out of the Shang Palace, he stood at the gate of the Shang Palace for a long time before heading towards the Jiao Palace. However, he was stopped as soon as he arrived at the gate of the Jiao Palace.
"Guard Jin, I'm so sorry! My Palace Master has already gone to bed! If you have anything to say, please come back tomorrow after the Palace Master wakes up!"
"It's about holding the blade! How dare you stop me?"
Although Jin Fan was a Green Jade Servant, he was actually a Red Jade Servant. He had always been with Gong Ziyu and was used to being flattered by the people in the Guard Camp. He had long been blinded by her.
What is Jiao Palace? It is the territory of Gong Shangjiao. Who is Gong Shangjiao? He is the great god of wealth of the palace, the one who is in charge of all the food, clothing and expenses of the entire palace, and he is also the most powerful person in the entire palace. Even when Lao Zhiren was alive, he had to give Gong Shangjiao some face and compliment him when he saw him.
Jin Fan was so confused that he actually wanted to start a war in Gong Shangjiao's territory. It is conceivable that how could a person who is often flattered by the guards compare with people like Jiao Gong who have been walking on the brink of death for years?
Look, Jin Fan was beaten back several meters before he could do anything.
The guards at the gate of Jiao Palace looked at Jin Fan, who was beaten back several meters, with some contempt. They learned from the captain of the guards Jin Fu that Jin Fan always relied on the fact that he was Gong Ziyu's guard and never took others seriously, even beating their young palace master.
"Guardian Jin's martial arts skills have declined! It seems that he has been slacking off in his daily training!"
After one of the guards at the gate of the Corner Palace finished speaking, the other guards behind him laughed out loud.
"you!"
Jin Fan covered his chest and looked at the Jiaogong guards who were laughing at him, and secretly swore that after Gong Ziyu's matter was over, he would definitely come to Jiaogong to seek revenge!
"what happened!"
When Jin Fu came down the stairs, he heard the guard at the door laughing. When he got closer, he saw that it was Jin Fan.
"Captain of the Guards, Guard Jin came over and said something happened with the sword, and he insisted on looking for Master Jiao."
Jin Fu felt that Jin Fan was not here to cause trouble, and the relationship between Yu Gong and their Jiao Gong was not that good. "What's the point of looking for Master Jiao if something happens to Zhi Ren? Master Jiao is not a medicine. Can he be cured by just one look?"
Jin Fan was humiliated repeatedly in the Corner Palace and no longer expected to get in, so he left the Corner Palace without saying a word.
Jin Fu looked at Jin Fan who left directly, a little confused, "Is Jin Fan's brain damaged? Do you want me to ask Master Zheng to prescribe a decoction for him?"
The guard at the door walked up to Jin Fu and said, "Captain of the Guards, ignore him! He is just like that. He always thinks he is the most powerful in the whole palace. In fact, it is just the guards who give in to him!"
"Alright! You guys should just stand guard and wait for the next shift to come. Then go to the kitchen to eat something and then go back to rest!"
"I wonder, what has the kitchen prepared today?"
"Chicken noodle soup."
After Jin Fu finished speaking, he left the gate and returned to his residence in Jiao Palace to rest.
Several guards at the door stood there smiling and continued to remain vigilant.
"If you ask me, in this entire palace, besides Zheng Palace, our Jiao Palace has the best treatment. Master Jiao is not a meddlesome person, and he is also a considerate person to his servants. Although he has been on the verge of death for many years, those subsidies are real."
"That's right! I heard that Yugong and Shanggong only get five taels of silver a month. What can they do with these five taels? I heard that they have to pay for medical treatment when they are sick. This time they have to spend one or two taels of silver. In addition, they have to tailor their clothes in winter and summer. I estimate that they will only get one tael of the five taels a month, and they have to send it back home to their parents."
"If you run into someone like Master Yu, you'll have to be punished and beaten, not to mention!"
"Our Jiaogong is still the best! He gives us 10 taels of silver every month, and if we get sick or injured, the tailoring and other things are all taken care of by Jiaogong. If we go out and unfortunately die, Jiaogong will give us a pension, and he will also help his deceased brothers raise their wives and children."
"That's right, not to mention the rewards we get from time to time on weekdays, as well as the benefits we give out during holidays."
"Alright, alright! Stop chatting! Just stand guard!"
After being stopped by the leading guard, everyone returned to their posts.
After Jin Fu returned to the main hall of the Jiao Palace, he informed Gong Shang of what had happened at the Jiao gate.
"I know, just pretend you don't know! There's still a lot to worry about with Gong Ziyu's matter!"
Although Jin Fu didn't understand why Master Jiao would say that Gong Ziyu's affairs were causing trouble, he would not refute any decision made by Master Jiao.
"Recently, keep a close eye on Yuanzheng and don't let him hear any disturbances in the palace."
"Yes!"
After Jin Fu left, Gong Shangjiao sat there and continued to review the matters that had piled up because of his absence.
As for Jin Fan, after leaving the Corner Palace, he headed towards the Council of Elders.
Li Lun had a panoramic view of the entire palace gate from mid-air and could see every move of everyone clearly.
Hua Yu and Zhang Qiling were playing chess in the study. "Are you back?"
As soon as Li Lun came in, he heard Hua Yu's voice, as if she had known he would come.
"Someone put this book among the things you asked me to bring. I'm not sure how much Yuan Zheng read or how much he remembered."
Li Lun threw the book he had snatched from Gong Yuanzheng onto the chessboard between Hua Yu and Zhang Qiling. The chessboard messed up by the book, the scattered chess pieces, the yellowed book, everything was so conspicuous.
"What's the point of you taking it? The expedition has probably already read it and memorized it all!"
Hua Yu looked at the book in the center of the chessboard. After a while, the book started to burn until there was no ashes left.
Li Lun looked at Hua Yu in surprise, "How could someone do this under your nose? It seems that person is quite capable!"
"No amount of small moves can stop him from marching toward death!"
Li Lun thought about Hua Yu's words and said, "That's right. Anyone who does something naughty under your nose is either reincarnated or already eighteen!"
"How's the matter I told you going?"
Li Lun sat on the table, chewing on the cakes on the table, "Are you still not confident in my work? The palace gate has begun to collapse on its own! But Gong Shangjiao is still a little short of the fire, but after Yuanzheng adds some fuel to the fire, it should be almost done."
"What about their back hill?"
Hua Yu picked up the scattered chess pieces on the board one by one and started a new game with Zhang Qiling. "Is there no movement in the back mountain?"
"I went to see the abyss you mentioned. It was a huge mass of black gas. Those who were contaminated by the black gas turned into half-human, half-demon beings, completely losing all reason."
"What else? The people at the palace gate wouldn't just leave those things like that and not care about them!"
"The people at the palace gate sent a team of red jade guards there. Once they found those half-human, half-demon creatures moving, they would use something with fire to force them back into a cave. They would not leave until they heard heart-wrenching screams from inside the cave."
"Something with flames? Didn't you go to see what it was?"
"I went looking for it, but unfortunately I couldn't find it!"
Hua Yu twisted a chess piece and dropped it casually, "Find an opportunity to let them use that thing again, and then take it away."
"Okay! If there's nothing else, I'll go back first!"
Hua Yu suddenly stopped Li Lun who was about to leave, "Where is your sundial? Do you have it with you?"
Li Lun was wondering why Hua Yu asked him about the magic weapon, but he was shocked and broke out in a cold sweat the next second.
"Yuanbao and the others were trapped in the sundial by Chenghuang, and you are the only one in the Great Wilderness who has the sundial! So, I have to wonder who Chenghuang's collaborator is."
Hua Yu turned her head slightly and her eyes fell lightly on Li Lun.
"The sundial is just one of my magic tools, and it can only create illusions, so I don't use it very often. I've always kept it in Huaijiang Valley."
Hua Yu glanced at Li Lun thoughtfully, "I know! I also believe it's not you! After all, you have always been with Yuan Zheng, and you are not bored enough to go back and do that kind of thing."
"I have reformed myself now! You can't doubt me! It's not like I have nothing to do after eating! Is it that the food outside is not tasty, or the scenery outside is not beautiful, or the storybooks are not good? I have to do something stupid!"
Li Lun quickly defended himself, but after seeing the smile in Hua Yu's eyes, he became angry and filled Hua Yu's study with locust leaves.
Zhang Qiling waved his hand and rolled up all the locust leaves in the study and sent them out.
"You just have to tease him!"
"Brother! It's because Li Lun hasn't been back for a long time. My little garden is missing a gardener. None of the gardeners who came after me could trim the garden to my liking!"
Zhang Qiling nodded at Hua Yu from a distance, and then continued to fight with him on the chessboard.
