Who says sleep is not spiritual practice?

Chapter 288 The background of horror, six stars picking up stars!
Outside the capital city, five hundred An Beijun guarded a carriage and were marching towards the north gate.

The soldiers all got off their horses and walked, leaving their horses to carry the corpses of a thousand imperial guards and more than 800 men in black.

Along the way, the team didn't meet anyone. Emperor Jing Hong didn't dispatch troops to take care of the aftermath, nor did he send anyone to question the cause of the death of the Thousand Imperial Guards. Only a few hawks and dogs stared at them not far away. trend.

Jing Hong's attitude of indifference and indifference makes people feel more nervous and uneasy, and it seems to indicate that this trip to Beijing is destined to be uneasy!
In addition...

During this period, Xiong Hun, the elder of the Xiong family who had entered the capital ahead of schedule, ordered someone to send a letter, telling Xiong Xing to bring three hundred guards back to the pier to guard the boats, so that he did not have to accompany Jiang Qingyu and his party into the capital.

It is not difficult to guess that guarding the ship was an excuse. Xiong Hui was afraid that he heard some rumors in the capital and knew that someone would target Jiang Qingyu, the son of the king who rejected the North, so he asked Xiong Xing to take people away, so as not to be misunderstood by others. What is the relationship between Jia and Jubei Palace, and he was also involved in this disturbance!

Jiang Qingyu was quite considerate, and she didn't make things difficult for Xiong Xing because of this, and let him take people away, but just made a small request along the way——

Want a giant ship.

The fleet assembled by the Xiong family this time has more than [-] huge ships, each of which is worth thousands of gold or even tens of thousands of gold. Three ships were destroyed by Gu Ming on the way, and the loss is already heavy. No, and Jiang Qingyu ordered another one as soon as he asked, even Xiong Xing couldn't help but want to scold him for taking advantage of the fire!
But he still called the shots and agreed.

Because Jiang Qingyu finally proposed to borrow the huge boat just once for the return journey, not to take it for himself.

"Young master, you asked Xiong Xing to ask for a huge boat, are you planning to go back to Bingzhou by water?"

Beside him, Jiang Shan, who was temporarily acting as a coachman, asked.

Jiang Qingyu nodded slightly.

Jiang Shan frowned and said:
"However, the terrain of Bingzhou is high, and the terrain around the capital is low, so when we came here, we went with the current, but when we went back, we went against the current. In addition, in order to avoid getting involved with us, Xiong Xing has already said hello and will withdraw most of the crew. , so walking by water will be much slower!"

Jiang Qingyu looked calm:
"Brother, it's too early to think about this!"

"If the entry to Beijing goes well this time and everything goes well, then it doesn't matter how long it takes to go back, but if everything goes wrong this time, even you and I will end up in the capital..."

"Then even if a god changes the terrain to be higher in the south and lower in the north, so that our return journey becomes downstream, what's the use?"

"..."

Jiang Shan was speechless.

Change the terrain to be high in the south and low in the north?I'm afraid that even real gods can't do it?
If there is such a powerful help, do they still need to worry about the danger of entering Beijing?

"My lord, it's the capital now."

At this moment, a small head emerged from the carriage:

"I heard from my senior brothers who are all over the building that from the time of the accident at the night station to now, in less than a few hours, several funeral shops in the capital have been bought out by a group of dignitaries!"

"Every half an hour, the price of paper money and coffins will increase by [-]%, but the supply is still in short supply!"

From this, it can be seen how much the group of dignitaries valued their dead son, and how much they hated Jiang Qingyu!

"I saw."

Jiang Qingyu stretched out her hand to hold the hand of the servant girl Xiaoman, without changing her face, she said:

"They blocked the north gate with coffins one after another, in an attempt to let people see their hostility towards me and the Prince's Mansion of Rejecting North."

"pity……"

"I do not care."

In the state of Chu, rejecting the North throne was an extremely powerful minister, and held 15 soldiers in his hands. He was deeply feared by the royal family. Therefore, in order to express their loyalty to Jing Hong, the ministers of the court and central government always only said bad things about him, not good things about him.

So as early as when he was in Bingzhou, Jiang Qingyu foresaw that when he entered the capital, the officials in the capital would not give him any good looks.

Even if he made great efforts to subdue Beidi.

But the fact that a thousand imperial guards were killed in battle, and most of those thousand imperial guards were the heirs of the powerful, was unexpected to him.

"Jing Hong is really ruthless!"

"Let the dignitaries choose a group of household slaves, destroy their faces, and form a group of men in black to attack the inn where the young master is. At the same time, let them send their children to the imperial guards, and take charge of it under the leadership of Dong Shen. Guard son."

"The two staged a scene of 'one party attacked the post station and assassinated the prince of the king of the north, and the other party desperately guarded', which caused the group of imperial guards to die because of the son, thus causing the enmity between the officials and the mansion of the king of the north. smashed!"

Xiaoman laughed mockingly:
"Jing Hong and the dignitaries underestimated the hatred of the slaves and handymen towards the rich and powerful's children, which led to the annihilation of the entire army of one thousand imperial guards, and even Dong Shen, the commander who was expected to be promoted to the sun, lost his life!"

What happened at night was overheard by Huamanlou's elite killers because the men in black and the imperial guards told a lot of secrets when they killed them, so Xiaoman quickly found out the identities of this group of people and the incident The ins and outs.

But Jiang Qingyu didn't think so:

"No, I think this result is what Jing Hong most expects to see!"

"It's also what the rich and powerful in the capital would like to see!"

"The whole army of one thousand imperial guards was wiped out. No matter who died in the hands, all the officials in the capital will settle the account on me."

"If only a part of them died, and only some of the dignitaries and I would have a grudge against my son, other people who didn't have their sons would not be happy, on the contrary, they would feel uneasy because of this, for fear of arousing Jing Hong's suspicion and distrust!"

"But Jing Hong is suspicious by nature, so he is naturally suspicious."

"So, only when all 1000 people are killed can both sides feel at ease!"

"..."

Xiaoman scratched his head:

"What about Dong Shen?"

"Is his death what Jing Hong wanted to see?"

A loyal minister and good general who is expected to be promoted to Yaori is rare even in the capital.

"Dong Shen..."

Jiang Qingyu frowned slightly:
"Dong Shen's death is indeed a pity, but if Jing Hong is allowed to choose between his life and death, I'm afraid he will still choose to let him die!"

"After all, this matter was planned by Jing Hong. All the dignitaries in the capital have lost their sons. Even if they don't say anything, they will inevitably feel dissatisfied with Jing Hong. But now that Dong Shen is dead, Jing Hong has lost one of his favorite generals." , the loss is not small, presumably it should be able to reduce the dissatisfaction in the hearts of the rich and powerful."

Xiaoman seemed to understand but half understood:

"Is this the emperor's mind?"

"Every step counts so much! Aren't you tired?"

"What did Jing Hong think of human life? What did those powerful people think of their son?"

"I originally thought that Huamanlou was a filthy place, and there were already enough intrigues inside. Who would have thought that the seemingly peaceful capital would be even more filthy?"

"Young master, I don't like this city!"

Jiang Qingyu sighed softly, and said in an inaudible voice:

"I dont like it either."

"so……"

"When we meet the people we want to see, we will take them out of this city and never come back, okay?"

"..."

Hearing this, Xiao Man couldn't help but tremble all over, subconsciously clenched the other's hand, and nodded slightly at the same time:

"Young master, no matter what you do, I will unswervingly support you!"

Jiang Qingyu hummed lightly and looked up at the capital.

At this time, the team was only less than three miles away from the north gate, and a group of people could be vaguely seen at the gate of the city wearing sackcloth and mourning mourning around coffins.

On the day of entering the city, it is obviously unlucky to meet a group of people crying for mourning.

What is even more troublesome is that this group of people came for themselves.

but……

Jiang Qingyu's eyes were not on this group of people, but glanced at the whole city, and sensed the aura of masters in the city——

In his line of sight, the souls of every congenital master are invisible, shining like stars, sun and moon!
The whole capital is like an unusual starry sky.

In this starry sky, there are hundreds of life stars, there are no less than sixty stars in Haoyue, and seven stars in Yaori!

What's even more frightening is that Legend of Reaching Stars, whose soul seems to be a huge abyss, actually has six people!

"Six Reaching for the Stars!"

Seeing this scene, Rao Yijiang Qingyu couldn't help but gasp:
"how is this possible?"

"Since you have such background, why is it necessary to put mother and elder brother under house arrest in the capital as hostages, so as to guard against rebellion in the Northern Palace?"

He doesn't understand!
"The breaths of the six abysses are different in strength and weakness."

"Three of them are slightly weaker, they are only in the middle stage of picking stars, one is in the palace, probably the first eunuch Jing Rang, one is in the position of Jixia Academy, it should be Jijiu Xun Yong, and the other..."

"The other person and the other three people each guard a city gate. If I'm not mistaken, they should be the same existence as Gu Ming. They are all monsters raised by Jing Yang, the founding emperor of Chu!"

"Among the four, the one guarding the east gate has the strongest aura, even better than Xingyi, the pavilion master of the Meteor Pavilion, followed by the two from the south gate and the west gate, who are at the peak of picking stars, and are at the same level as Gu Ming. level."

"As for the man guarding the north gate..."

"Weakest!"

Jiang Qingyu guessed that Gu Ming was supposed to be in charge of guarding the north gate, but he died, so a weaker person was replaced.

That's fine, if he takes people out of the capital soon and conflicts with Jing's lineage, he can just leave through the north gate!

"Using star-picking monsters to guard the Sifang City Gate, Jing Yang is really a great master!"

"It's a pity that I can only detect the breath and guess the approximate location, but I can't see the real faces of these monsters, otherwise it will be even more spectacular!"

"in addition……"

Jiang Qingyu glanced at the capital again, deeply frowned and said:
"I can't find Jing Yang's aura!"

"Not a single bit!"

"What does the soul of the fifth innate product look like?"

He patted the soul-nourishing jade hidden in his sleeve, trying to wake up the god Du Ling, and asked her to solve his doubts.

But I don't know if it's because of the serious power loss and still sleeping, or because Jing Yang, who is in the dragon-raising state, will notice the clues, Du Ling didn't respond to him.

"Forget it, I didn't expect you to be of any help."

Jiang Qingyu sighed helplessly, and stopped speculating about Jing Yang's strength and location.

As far as he is concerned, he doesn't want to go against Jing Yang and those few stars unless it is absolutely necessary.

Of course, those people will not take themselves seriously at the moment, and even if they manage to bring mother, elder brother and others out of the capital, as long as the strength of the Yin body is not exposed, those people will not show up in person Block yourself.

Because Zhai Xing transcended the imperial power, Jing Hong probably couldn't order these people in his capacity.

They only listen to Jing Yang's orders.

So as long as you are more cautious and don't attract Jing Yang's attention, then naturally these few Zha Xing Zha will not come and target you.

As for Jing Yang...

As soon as Gu Ming died, he was seriously injured by the backlash, and he should be busy retreating to heal his injuries at this time, and he has no time to pay attention to himself!
Even if he is the fate of Crouching Dragon in the mouth of a fortune teller.

Jing Yang let Jiang Qiushui, the King of Rejection of the North who is also fate of Wolong, grow up to be the Lord of the Northern Territory. At the peak of the Sunshine Realm, he did not pick this human medicine, thinking that this great medicine was not mature enough.

I am only 19 years old, and my martial arts cultivation is only the seventh rank of the acquired martial arts. At best, I can only be regarded as a seedling, so what qualifications do I have to attract his attention?
Thinking of this, Jiang Qingyu couldn't help but feel much less afraid of Jing Yang and Liu Zhaixing.

Then, he moved his eyes to the top of the city, staring at the woman with long hair like a waterfall and wearing the armor of the Imperial Guard, with a smile on his face:
"Sister Lichun, I did what I promised you."

Xiao Man beside him heard this sentence, and immediately followed his master's gaze towards the top of the city.

It's a pity that her martial arts cultivation is still in the acquired state, and her eyesight is not outstanding, so she can't see clearly, only three figures can be seen faintly.

One of them was dressed as an official, and the other two were dressed as imperial guards.

Of the two dressed as Praetorians, one was without a helmet and had long hair reaching his waist.

"Is it Miss Lichun?"

Xiao Man blinked, quickly raised his hands, and waved them vigorously.

next moment.

The man on the top of the wall also raised his hand and waved.

"It's Sister Lichun! Young Master, it's Sister Lichun!"

Xiaoman was extremely excited, glanced at Jiang Qingyu beside her, and suddenly smiled playfully:
"My lord, there is something I have never dared to mention to you."

"A few days ago, I got the news that Jing Hong decreed a marriage and betrothed Sister Lichun to Fan Yu, who is the number one in Chu's prince list, and the wedding date is today!"

"I ordered the killer Huamanlou in the city to try to destroy this marriage today."

"But because of an incident last year, Huamanlou offended Jixia Academy, so the power in the capital has been weakened a lot. I'm not sure that I can destroy it, so I won't tell you about it."

"But now it seems that things should have taken a turn for the better."

"Sister Lichun pretended to be an imperial guard and came to the north gate to welcome the son into Beijing. She probably escaped from marriage!"

Jiang Qingyu nodded slightly.

The underworld also has eyeliners in the capital. Although there are not many, they still can't hide the marriage offer from themselves.

"Young master, escaping marriage is a serious crime!"

Xiaoman reminded in a low voice:
"Will Sister Lichun be punished for this?"

Jiang Qingyu shook her head lightly:
"Sister Lichun is the maid of Ziyan Courtyard, and this son is the master of Ziyan Courtyard."

"Since I have already entered Beijing, all the crimes she committed should be borne by me!"

"not to mention……"

"This son doesn't think it's wrong for her to run away from marriage!"

At this time, the team was less than a mile away from the north gate.

Everyone saw that there were coffins blocking the city gate in front of them, and the mourning sounds of the rich and powerful were very sad and moving.

This cry even made many An Beijun feel guilty.

But Jiang Qingyu was unmoved, instead she faced forward and said coldly:
"Jiang Qingyu, the heir of the Northern Prince, is ordered to enter the city!"

"Wait, do you want to stop me?"
