One joke from the witch, I open the gate of heaven with one sword

Chapter 67 Some people don’t want me to live in Kyoto

"Eldest brother, I've never met him before. I heard from the master that he is a talkative guy, um, he's a good talker. That's how the second senior brother described him."

"I met Second Senior Brother once. He is a scholar and likes to catch me talking about some big principles."

"Third Senior Sister is the richest person in the world. Every time Master runs out of money, he takes me to her."

"Fourth Senior Brother is a very strange person. I've met him several times but he never spoke. Master said he was practicing some kind of Zen and couldn't speak."

In this way, Wei Buge articulated what he knew,

And Xu Lan also had a relatively clear understanding of Xiahou Changyuan,

A practitioner who likes to travel to various countries and accept disciples. In addition to Wei Buge in front of him, Xiahou Changyuan also has nine disciples.

Judging from Wei Buge's description, the other nine apprentices are different.

Some are practitioners with unparalleled strength, such as the big brother who is known as the talkative one.

There are also well-educated scholars, such as the second senior brother who likes to talk about great principles.

"Strength, talent, money, mind cultivation, medicine refining, weapon refining, formations."

Xu Lan fell into thinking,

Being able to teach nine disciples with very different characteristics shows that Xiahou Changyuan is indeed an extremely extraordinary person.

Moreover, another piece of information can be learned from the chat with Wei Buge just now. This is not her first visit to Kyoto of the Great Chu Dynasty.

It was five years ago that Xiahou Changyuan accepted Wei Buge as his disciple.
In the past five years, she has been following Xiahou Changyuan while practicing and traveling to various countries, which means that Xiahou Changyuan has appeared in the capital of Dachu more than once in the past five years.

"If there is a chance to find the royal family's genealogy, maybe we can know his identity."

But it’s not easy to do this.

Ordinary people who want to get the genealogy of the royal family are undoubtedly talking nonsense.

"What a lovely little girl."

Sun Hongying on the side couldn't help but laugh,

Such a simple girl had no ability to resist in front of Xu Lan, and a lot of information had been tricked out in just a few words.

But Xiahou Changyuan is really generous. How could such a simple disciple be left to Xu Lan to take care of him?

"Sister, you have to be careful."

Wei Buge glanced at Sun Hongying and suddenly said: "Looking at your dark hall, there will be a bloody disaster in the near future."

Sun Hongying: ...

Bloody catastrophe?
Can she suffer a bloody disaster?
"Okay, little sister, don't follow your master's trick of lying."

Sun Hongying laughed like a silver bell, obviously not taking Wei Buge's words to heart.

"I didn't lie."

Wei Buge blinked his big eyes, trying to defend himself, but then he said, "Forget it, master said not to reveal too much secrets."

"You'd better be careful."

Xu Lan said at this time: "If her guess is correct, Xiahou Zhangyuan should teach her how to deduce other people's fate."

"Oh, no one in the five realms can challenge me."

Sun Hongying naturally has her own confidence,
Even if she really meets a practitioner of the Five Realms, she doesn't necessarily need to be afraid.

As for practitioners of the Sixth and Seventh Realms?
If you really provoke an existence of this level, it won't be a bloody disaster.

"Too."

Xu Lan nodded, and then said: "Then you go to practice for now, I have to practice my sword."

Most of the time in the past few days was on the road, which wasted a lot of time in sword practice.

"Ok?"

Sun Hongying rolled her eyes at him. Is it because her figure is not good enough or is he not good enough?
With such a big man lying next to him, how could he still be thinking about sword practice?

But she didn't say anything more and said coldly: "If you go to bed smelling sour and sweaty, I'll kick you out."

"it is good."

Xu Lan was also accustomed to Sun Hongying's change in attitude.

Sun Hongying then gave Wei Buge a room alone, and then went back to his room to rest.

As for Xu Lan, he started practicing his sword in the courtyard.
For practitioners of the second realm, staying up all night will not have much impact.

At the same time, in the Ninth Prince’s mansion,
A middle-aged man wearing a purple robe sat in the middle of the living room of the palace. If Xu Lan and others were here, they would naturally recognize that he looked exactly like the real Ninth Prince.

"There is news from Qingzhou that a little guy with no eyes has entered Beijing."

"The Ninth Prince" slowly said: "He has already started to trace the goods. If he is allowed to continue tracing, it will be easy for others to detect some clues."

The strange thing is that he clearly looks like a middle-aged man, but when he speaks, he has a mature and lazy female voice.

"Just a country boy who has never seen the world."

Another gloomy man's voice came from the shadows in the living room, but his location could not be captured.

"He's no ordinary man."

"The Ninth Prince" paused for a moment and continued: "He has caused the people on Changqing's side to suffer several hidden losses in a row, which should not be underestimated."

"Shadow, I need to remind you."

The man hiding in the shadows spoke again: "That guy Changqing does things unscrupulously, and it's not a good thing for you to get too close to him."

"Oh, aren't we the same?"

"Nine Princes" smiled slightly, and said casually: "Think of a way to kill that little guy."

"This is the Great Chu Kyoto after all. Once we take action, we will be discovered by those guys from the Xuanjing Division."

The man said rather displeasedly: "This kind of behavior outweighs the gains and losses."

"That's true."

"The Ninth Prince" thought for a moment and then said: "Find a practitioner of the Fifth Realm. I will find a way to hold him back from the Xuanjing Division."

"is it necessary?"

The man asked: "Once a fight breaks out, in addition to the Xuanjing Division, they will also recruit the Tiance Army from Kyoto. Is it worth paying such a high price for a young boy?"

Tiancejun,
Like Xuanjingsi, he is the right-hand man of the Princess of the Prison Kingdom.

And they also have the privileges granted by the Princess of the Supervisory State.

If anyone wants to cause trouble in Kyoto,

You have to consider whether you have the ability to deal with Tiance's army.

"Of course it's worth it."

"The Ninth Prince" shook his head and said: "At worst, it will only destroy a fifth-level practitioner."

There was silence all around, and after a while the man's voice sounded again.

"Okay, I'll make the arrangements. As for the Xuanjing Division and Tiance Army, you can handle it."

.......
In an unknown corner, Xiahou Changyuan's figure looked up at the extremely familiar Dachu Palace from several miles away.

"What a bunch of guys that don't make anyone worry."

Xiahou Changyuan looked very complicated and then took a step forward, but the next moment his figure disappeared in place.

When he reappeared, he was already in a palace in the palace,

The difference from before is that his face has been covered by a unicorn mask.

But neither the practitioners hidden in the palace nor the guards patrolling here were aware of his presence.

"Tingchao Pavilion"

Xiahou Changyuan raised his head and glanced at the plaque on the palace, but he couldn't help but laugh.

Three years ago this was the girl's palace.
The name at that time was not Tingchao Pavilion, but Laigong Lai. I couldn't remember it for a while.

"It seems that girl still has some resentment towards me."

Xiahou Changyuan shook his head, and then stepped into the Tingchao Pavilion.

In Tingchao Pavilion,

A tall and beautiful woman was reviewing and approving the documents submitted by the officials.

Corrected one after another,
Occasionally when she looked up and saw the mountains of memorials piled aside, her eyes flashed with some boredom.

But as the eldest princess who oversees the country, she knows very well that this is her responsibility.

"Now you know it's not easy to be an emperor, right?"

At this moment, a joking voice came from behind her,

The eldest princess' expression suddenly changed,
Her body's instinctive reaction was to take action, but the familiar voice made her gradually let down her guard. When Mu Ran looked back, she saw a familiar unicorn mask.

"I have seen my ancestor."

After seeing Xiahou Changyuan,

The eldest princess stood up and knelt down without any hesitation.

"Forget it, there is no need for these so-called etiquettes."

Xiahou Changyuan waved his hand, and the eldest princess found an invisible force holding her knees to prevent her from kneeling down.

"Yes, old man."

At this time, the eldest princess let out a long sigh of relief, and said, "After three years, is the ancestor still okay?"

Even after three years,

She also has trouble forgetting what happened that night.

After the death of the late emperor, the dynasty was faced with internal and external troubles, but no one of the royal family members was willing to stand up and support the crumbling empire.

Maybe God heard her inner unwillingness, maybe it was her fate,

That night she heard a voice from nowhere, which guided her to the Huangling Ancestral Temple.

That is, at that time,
She saw an extremely shocking scene. Thousands of dynasty fortunes revolved around the fingertips of a man wearing a unicorn mask.

"From now on, Da Chu will be left to you."

With such a simple sentence, her life was turned upside down overnight.

The Four Books and Five Classics that I had read so well in my mind had been completely forgotten.

Instead, there are various conspiracies and plots in the game with civil and military officials and even vassal kings from various places.

I have probably forgotten the needlework in my hands,

Instead, there were spears that penetrated the chests of countless enemies.

Since that day,

She always remembers that she is no longer the eldest princess, but a supervisor who shoulders the responsibility of revitalizing the Chu Dynasty.

"Fortunately, I went to some interesting places, met some interesting people, and did some interesting things."

Xiahou Changyuan smiled and said, "It's you. You have changed a lot in just three years."

"People are bound to change."

The eldest princess lowered her head slightly,
None of the old foxes in the court could make people worry-free. For the past three years, she had been walking on thin ice every day.

"But do you plan to keep doing this?"

Xiahou Zhangyuan looked at the eldest princess in front of him up and down, and said slowly: "Are you willing to continue to be called the supervisor of the country?"

"I"

After hearing this, the eldest princess' expression suddenly changed drastically, and she subconsciously said: "I don't have any."

"Hey, don't say these words to me anymore."

Xiahou Changyuan interrupted what she was about to say and said calmly: "Rules are meant to be broken. Besides, there is nothing wrong with the emergence of a female emperor in the history of the Chu Dynasty." The eldest princess:...

She didn't know how to answer this, and she didn't dare to answer it.

The Xiahou Changyuan in front of her could let her have everything, and he could naturally take back everything from her at any time.

"Almost forgot the business."

Xiahou Changyuan then patted his head and said, "I'm old now, so my memory is not very good."

“I wonder what the ancestor’s instructions are for returning to Dachu this time?”

When the eldest princess heard this, she knew that this matter was not trivial, otherwise the ancestor would not have made the trip in person.

"The current Ninth Prince, do you have any impression?"

Xiahou Changyuan paused for a moment, then said: "The one of your generation."

"Yes, what's wrong?"

The eldest princess was stunned when she heard this, and then said: "Uncle Huang has been ill recently and has not been in the palace for more than two months."

"Find an excuse to let him enter the palace."

Xiahou Changyuan said expressionlessly: "We cannot let him leave alive."

"it is good."

The eldest princess nodded,
Although she had doubts in her mind, she was smart enough not to ask too many questions.

Killing a prince,
Even if she is the supervisor of the country, it will inevitably arouse the discussion of the officials in the court, and even bear the infamy of killing some elders of the same clan.

But she didn't care about that,
The ancestor must have his reasons for asking for this.

"Thanks a lot."

Xiahou Changyuan smiled and said: "It might be better if I do this kind of infamy, but I have other plans."

"It's okay."

The eldest princess lowered her head slightly and said calmly: "I have already received enough infamy. I don't care if it's more or less."

"there's one more thing."

Xiahou Changyuan paused for a moment and then said: "I may have found a way to solve the problem of the royal bloodline being unable to be cultivated."

When hearing this sentence,

The eldest princess suddenly raised her head, her pretty face full of shock.

"Your cooperation is needed."

Xiahou Changyuan said calmly: "And it requires you to pay some price. If you are not willing, I will find someone else."

"The juniors are willing."

Without any hesitation, the eldest princess agreed without hesitation.

If the ancestor really has a way to solve the problem of the royal bloodline being unable to practice, then it means that she can have the lifespan that a seventh-level practitioner should have!

"What's the cost of not asking?"

Xiahou Changyuan showed a meaningful smile,

However, the eldest princess said firmly: "As long as I can successfully solve the problem that the royal family's blood cannot be cultivated, I am willing to accept it even if it is a huge price."

"Not until."

Xiahou Changyuan smiled slightly, and wanted to say something, but the next moment he seemed to sense something,
He raised his head slightly and looked in the direction of Ting Yuxuan.

"Interesting, it seems that some people can't hold back"

Xiahou Changyuan smiled and said, "Let's go, I'll take you to meet someone."

"it is good."

Although the eldest princess had doubts in her heart, she didn't ask any more questions.

The next moment, a magic circle formed under Xiahou Changyuan's feet, and the light emitted enveloped the two people in the room.

After a blink of an eye, the two figures disappeared.

At the same time, in a courtyard in Tingyuxuan,

Xu Lan, whose upper body was naked, kept swinging the sword again and again, and the zhenqi in his body continued to circulate week after week.

"In a few days, I will be able to attack the three realms."

A thought flashed in Xu Lan's mind,

Although he can now fight against the cultivators of the Three Realms without falling into a disadvantage, it is not enough for him to gain a foothold in Kyoto in just the Three Realms.

Although Xiahou Changyuan did not reveal much information,
But he also vaguely felt that he seemed to be involved in an unknown dispute. In this case, he could only make himself stronger.

But at this moment, Xu Lan suddenly raised his head and looked outside.

Just like being stared at by a ferocious beast in the wild, he noticed a breath locking onto him.

The door of the room was pushed open,

Sun Hongying, dressed in red, walked out with an extremely solemn expression.

"Five realms."

Sun Hongying paused for a moment and then said: "It seems that someone is unwilling to let us leave Kyoto alive."

Five realms?

Xu Lan's heart sank slightly,
Countless thoughts flashed through my mind. The only people in Kyoto who can instruct the practitioners of the Five Realms to deal with them at will are probably the royal family.

And the most important thing is that Tingyuxuan is located in the center of Kyoto.
If a cultivator of the Five Realms dares to take action rashly, he will definitely attract the attention of countless people.
Neither the Xuanjing Division nor the Tiance Army would allow this to happen.
But the other party is able to show up here with confidence,

The only explanation is that the other party is a member of the royal family and is confident enough to delay the arrival of the Xuanjing Division and the Tiance Army.

"Well, this means that the direction of our previous investigation was correct."

Xu Lan breathed a long sigh of relief,

No need to think too much, it must be the so-called Ninth Prince who sent people to deal with him.

It has nothing to do with what happened last night,
Probably because he went to the Royal Chamber of Commerce to inquire about the details of his father's disappearance, which made the "Nine Princes" vigilant.

But he didn't expect that the other party would be so decisive. In order to avoid any accidents, he directly sent a practitioner from the fifth realm.

The intention is very obvious,

That is, he has no intention of letting Xu Lan leave Kyoto alive.

As long as he dies, naturally no one will pursue the matter anymore.

Xu Lan's mind moved when he thought of this, he took out the sword box from the storage ring and stood in front of him.

"Since your Excellency is here, why don't you show up?"

Xu Lan looked around and said loudly: "Would practitioners of the five realms act so timidly?"

After his voice fell, not long after, an old woman on crutches quietly appeared in the courtyard.

Behind her was a wine gourd about two meters high, making it difficult to tell what was inside.

"I didn't expect that a second-level practitioner's perception would be so sharp."

The old woman raised her head slightly, her face like a dead tree was covered with wrinkles, her cloudy eyes looked Xu Lan up and down, and said: "It's a pity. You deserve to die today."

"Not always."

Xu Lan's heart sank slightly,
He had no idea what kind of fighting power the practitioners of the Five Realms possessed.

"If she is alone, the two of us may be able to delay the situation for a long time."

Sun Hongying said softly: "It depends on when the Tiance Army and Xuanjing Division in the city will arrive."

"Who told you that I was alone?"

The old woman laughed, but the laughter sounded quite permeable.

Then the old woman tapped the ground with the crutch in her hand, and the wine gourd on her back fell to the ground.

The wine gourd automatically split into two after it hit the ground, and a man who looked like a reptile on all fours appeared in front of everyone.

It just seemed that the man's face had been destroyed by some kind of drug, leaving only a pair of scarlet eyes, and some strange liquid flowing from his mouth from time to time.

"A little disgusting."

Xu Lan couldn't help but comment. This thing even made him feel sick to his stomach.

"Oh, it's disgusting."

Sun Hongying didn't take off the cloth strips covering her eyes, but she still seemed to be able to perceive something.

"Oh, you little kids like to show off your words."

Regarding the teasing evaluation of the two, the old woman did not express anything but turned her attention to Sun Hongying.

"You're a girl with a bulging front and back. You look like you're good enough to have a baby."

The old woman's tone gradually became colder, and she said every word: "This is my son. If you promise to give him a few fat and white babies, I will consider letting you live."

Sun Hongying: ...
"Forget it, let's just go ahead and kill you and this disgusting thing together."

Sun Hongying's temper was naturally not much better, so she immediately took out a talisman.

At the same time, on a flag stand not far from Tingyuxuan, Xiahou Changyuan and the eldest princess appeared.

Standing here, you can take in the entire Tingyuxuan environment into your eyes.

"what?"

The eldest princess immediately noticed the old woman and another man and woman in the courtyard.

A cultivation level of the fifth realm, a perfection of the fourth realm, and as for that young man, his strength is around the second realm?
"Ancestor, do you know them?"

The eldest princess was puzzled and couldn't understand why the ancestor brought her here.

"Well, a funny little guy."

Xiahou Changyuan didn't have the so-called demeanor, but simply sat down cross-legged with an expression as if he was watching a good show.

The eldest princess's expression changed slightly when she heard this, and her eyes fell on Xu Lan.

He is the interesting person that the ancestor said?

"That old woman is a practitioner of the Five Realms. The two of them should have no chance of winning."

The eldest princess slowly said: "Do you need me to take action?"

"Don't, don't, let you come to the show."

Xiahou Changyuan waved his hands repeatedly and said, "If they start fighting, how long will it take for the Xuanjing Division and Tiance Army to arrive?"

"The laws of Dachu have prohibited any practitioners from taking action in the busy city of Kyoto. If they really fight, the Tiance Army will probably arrive in a moment."

The eldest princess thought for a moment and then continued: "That old woman is a practitioner of the Five Realms. Logically speaking, the Xuanjing Division should also send someone here."

"Well, let's take a look then."

Xiahou Changyuan said with a smile: "Let's see if the Xuanjing Division and Tiance Army can stop it."

After saying these words, the eldest princess's face suddenly changed.

What does the ancestor mean by this?
Could it be that there is an internal problem within the Xuanjing Division and Tiance Army?

Recalling that the ancestor just asked him to kill the Nine Emperors Uncle, is there any connection between the two?
"You, you just think too much."

Xiahou Changyuan on the side smiled and said: "Some things are often not that complicated."

"Yes, follow the teachings of the ancestors."

The eldest princess lowered her head slightly, and her eyes continued to fall on the three figures in the courtyard of Tingyuxuan.
