Desire for Immortality - C129
“Yu’er, stop messing around. Hurry up and come down to apologize to the empress!”
A middle-aged man wearing an embroidered suit with golden threads hastily walked out from the crowd and said to the red-clothed girl on the stage.
“Master Wen of the Military Department?”
“This lady in red is Master Wen’s daughter!”
“He actually dared to bring such a sharp weapon to disrupt the empress’s banquet. This is a big taboo, an unforgivable sin for committing a great treason.”
“Master Wen is finished. He was completely destroyed in the hands of a reverse girl.”
The crowd of officials whispered and shook their heads with a sigh. Everyone felt that this matter had blown up and was uncontrollable.
Within the inner palace, those who held sharp weapons and disturbed the banquet were all punished with the crime of assassinating the royal family, beheading all nine families.
This kind of crime wasn’t something that could be forgiven simply because of one’s young age.
This middle-aged man dressed in golden silk clothing was surprisingly Wen Ting Chi, the head of the Military Department, with his high position and authority.
However, at this moment, everyone felt that the pond was finished.
“Wen Ting Chi, how dare you! How dare you let your daughter commit murder? “Take him down!”
The head guard, Lu Ya, was clad in silver armour. With a dignified look on his face, he strode forward and shouted at Wen Ting Chi. With a wave of his hand, four of the imperial guards immediately rushed forward, ready to capture him.
“Yu’er greets the empress. May the empress’s life be with the heavens and fortune be with you forever!”
At this moment, the red-clothed girl opened her mouth to speak. Despite facing so many guards, she didn’t seem to be afraid at all. Her voice was exceptionally calm.
Jiang Yi stood beside his mother with his eyes shining, looking curiously at the person on the stage.
The empress waved her hand to stop the imperial guards, her gaze also landing on the little girl.
“When Father was lecturing Yu’er, he often mentioned the Empress, saying that she was an immortal that had descended from the heavens, that she had descended onto our Great Li Kingdom, annihilated our evil sects, fought against the Wizard Barbarian, and benefited all our people. She was a heroic, unyielding hero, and Yu’er wanted to destroy our evil sects as well. “Today is the empress’s birthday celebration. Yu’er wants to show empress the sword techniques he’s practiced as a congratulatory gift.”
The girl in red’s voice was young and tender, but each word was very clear, and everyone could hear her clearly.
As she spoke, she stood up and began performing sword techniques.
This sword technique was called the “Autumn Wind Fallen Leaf Technique”, and was the most ordinary sword technique within the Great Li Kingdom army that anyone could train in.
However, the girl in red was very serious. Each and every move she executed was very standard. It was like an autumn wind sweeping across the stage, sweeping up countless petals.
With a single glance, it was clear that she had practiced this set of sword technique to an extremely proficient level.
Perhaps in the eyes of those experts, the girl’s sword technique didn’t have the slightest bit of power, but it wasn’t hard to see that she was extremely talented in the way of the sword.
It was like a piece of precious jade, waiting to be carved and then spread throughout the world.
At this moment, everyone’s eyes were focused on the girl in red.
However, this stage was extremely beautiful and was used by the enchanting female singers. Yet now, someone was using sword techniques on it. It was truly a bit of a peace and incompatibility.
One was a dance, the other a martial arts!
After the time it took for an incense stick to burn, the lady in red completed the entire set of sword technique. She placed the sword behind her and stood upright.
Pow! Pow! Pow!
At this moment, a round of applause rang out. It was the empress. She stood up from her phoenix chair and applauded the red-clothed girl.
The empress applauded as well, and the ministers naturally didn’t dare to dally as they followed suit. In an instant, thunderous applause filled the entire Purple Bamboo Garden.
“Good, good, very good! Three feet of silky red silk cloth, valiant and valiant, a woman without a beard and eyebrows, peerless in sword art! ”
The Queen looked at the red-clothed girl with great satisfaction. Her face was filled with affection as she actually started to compose a poem for the girl on the spot.
What kind of glory was this? It had never happened before for an unknown girl to be praised personally by the empress in front of a crowd of officials.
“An exquisite world without equal.”
Clearly, the empress had a very high opinion of this red-robed girl.
“My Great Li Kingdom has this kind of woman. At such a young age, she already harbors the safety of our nation. Why should I worry about not exiting the Wizard Barbarian if my evil cult is not destroyed?” The Queen looked at the officials and said loudly.
“The empress is wise!” When everyone felt the gaze, they immediately knelt down and shouted.
“What’s your name?”
The Queen waved her hand to let the officials know that she was not being courteous. Then, her gaze fell upon the red-clothed girl as she inquired.
“Reporting to the Empress, my name is Wen Hongyu!” The lady in red answered.
“Wen Hongyu? This is a good name, and a person like him is as good as his name. I am most satisfied with your wedding gift, and coincidentally, I have a red jade with me as well.
As she spoke, the empress took down a red jade pendant and handed it to a eunuch beside her.
The eunuch took the red jade pendant and instantly felt a warm current flow from his hands into his body. Then, his entire body felt warm, as if he were bathing in the sun. It was extremely comfortable.
He immediately knew that this red jade pendant was a rare treasure. He immediately looked at Wen Hongyu with envy.
“Yu’er thanks the empress!” When Wen Hongyu received the jade, he immediately liked it. He was extremely happy and immediately expressed his gratitude.
“Master Wen, a tiger father does not have a dog daughter, you gave birth to a good daughter, and taught her well. The future of my Great Li Kingdom still needs to be created by them.”
The empress looked at Wen Ting Chi and spoke.
“This humble subject is truly fearful and fearful. On behalf of my daughter, I thank the empress for her kindness.” Wen Ting Chi knelt down.
The ministers’ faces were immediately filled with envy. They had thought that the Military Department’s Minister Wen Tingchi was completely finished, but they hadn’t thought that not only was he fine, he would even receive a reward from the Empress. It was simply inconceivable.
Jiang Yi looked at the red jade pendant in his hand and suddenly recalled a lot of memories.
This jade pendant was entirely blood-red. On the front, there was an intricately carved “Phoenix Bird”. On the back, there were two words: “Yanran”.
This was the name of his mother!
His mother was the empress of Great Li Kingdom. She was the “Princess Ronghua” of Central Dynasty, and her name was “Huangfu Yanran”. She had a warm and beautiful name.
This jade pendant was the Queen Mother’s “Phoenix Blood Jade Pendant”. It was said that it contained a drop of the “Phoenix Bird” within it, and upon wearing it, it could nourish the body, strengthen the body, strengthen the body, strengthen the Blood Essence, and so on.
At the banquet, the Queen Mother had bestowed it to the sons and daughters of Wen Ting Chi, the Minister of War.
In that moment, Jiang Yi’s memories became clearer, and instantly superimposed on the memory of the Wen Hongyu in front of him and the red-clothed girl who was dancing with her sword on the stage.
Three feet of silky silky red makeup, valiant and valiant, beautiful women without eyebrows, peerless sword art!
She was truly the daughter of Wen Tingchi, the head of the Military Department!
Just like before, “An exquisite world without equal”.
“How is it? Now you should believe it! ” Wen Hongyu said.
Jiang Yi returned the “Phoenix Blood Jade Pendant” to Wen Hongyu. This was something that the empress had personally bestowed to Wen Hongyu.
“Is she really Lord Wen’s daughter?” Gu Heng and the rest asked immediately.
“That’s right!” Jiang Yi nodded, then looked at Wen Hongyu: “But even so, you can’t leave.”
Even after Wen Hongyu becomes a loyal subject, he would not completely trust her and let his guard down. In ten years of time, it was enough to completely change a person’s mind and make them unrecognizable.
Furthermore, Wen Hongyu was a person from the Mu Palace, and the person that Mu Jingtang trusted the most would definitely not let his guard down.
He needed some time to examine this woman. If he passed, then everyone would be happy. If this woman had evil intentions, then he wouldn’t show her any mercy.
After all, he wasn’t alone right now. There was still Gu Heng and the others, so he had no choice but to be cautious.
“I entered the Mu King Palace for the sake of my life, forced by the circumstances. Now that the Crown Prince has returned and has such tyrannical strength, I naturally will not leave, but to follow the Crown Prince.”
Wen Hongyu said again, but his gaze dimmed down: “However, I have the method that Mu Jingtang left behind, and it’s to prevent me from betraying the Mu King Palace, and once I do, there’s only death waiting for me. He’s also on Liang Sheng’s body. Now that he’s been killed, Mu Jingtang will immediately know that I’m not dead and have not returned for a long time, so Mu Jingtang won’t let me off. ”
“Oh?”
After Jiang Yi heard this, he did not expect it. He frowned, and immediately released his psychokinesis to probe Wen Hongyu’s body: “Do not resist, I’ll help you look!”
Wen Hongyu felt a tyrannical force attacking him, instinctively resisting, but after hearing Jiang Yi’s words, he immediately stopped resisting, and his body relaxed.
Her face turned red. A woman being probed by a man with psychokinesis was like having no privacy at all. How could she withstand this?
However, Jiang Yi did not have any evil thoughts, he only focused his mind and carefully examined Wen Hongyu’s body.
In the next moment, he hypnotized Wen Hongyu and passed his spirit energy over, immediately noticing the abnormality.
On Wen Hongyu’s soul, there was a purple ring that was as fast as lightning. This purple ring was not a material object, rather, it was condensed from psychokinesis, and when wrapped around the soul, once triggered, the soul would be destroyed.
Once the soul was destroyed, one was finished.
Jiang Yi carefully observed for a moment. The purple lightning ring contained a powerful force that could not be casually touched. Most likely, it was a technique left behind by the Great Mind Controller.
However, if he could break through to an upper rank Mind Controller and obtain the ability of ‘drawing a pit out of the ground into a prison’, in addition to the divine might of ‘Extreme Yin Lunar Glow Spell’, he should be able to dissolve it.
Whoosh!
Jiang Yi retracted his spirit energy and exhaled.
What Wen Hongyu said was indeed true. She had come out together with Liang Sheng to do some work, and Liang Sheng had died. If she did not return for a long period of time, Mu Jingtang would definitely activate the purple lightning ring and kill her.
