Turning misfortunes into good fortune starts with seizing the direct descendants in Kowloon

Chapter 10 "Hidden Dragon" and "Knowing People" (two chapters)

After carefully studying the hexagram in front of him, Lu Mingyuan's eyes flickered.

It seemed that the group of forbidden troops that had just passed by was quite strange. Maybe it was one of the accomplices who participated in the witchcraft disaster and released the demon girl.

Doing nothing, just seeing it, there is no benefit or harm, and you will be hated by the eldest prince?

This is really hell. It only makes the listener guilty, but it is enough that the person who sees it is guilty.

It shows that the release of the demon girl is not a personal planning incident, but the result of someone secretly competing and scheming against each other.

Seeing the leopard through the pipe, Lu Mingyuan had reason to suspect that he had been used as a weapon and became a victim of the competition between the two parties. Fortunately, he had six lines of turtle shell and could save his life.

Taking the initiative to leak secrets can produce two completely different endings, the good hexagram in the middle line and the bad hexagram in the lower line. Therefore, the treatments are different, so the results are also different.

One is to use borrowed swords to kill people to eradicate the traitors, and the other is to directly tell the imperial commander that there must be something wrong with the latter and it will create a dangerous situation.

"I understand, you still have to pretend not to know. Even if you are a whistleblower, you must hide your motives and alibi, and you cannot get involved in the whirlpool of inheritance."

Lu Mingyuan thought of this and already had the answer in his heart.

The key is still to find a useful knife to kill people with a borrowed knife.

He walked out of the gate and glanced at the two Imperial Guards at the end of the official road, subconsciously feeling that they were unreliable.

A few days ago, he was almost taught a lesson by the fifth prince, but the two of them did not take any action, which showed that he had been bribed and was not worthy of his trust.

"Where is His Highness the Sixth Prince going?"

The two guards on duty saw Lu Mingyuan walking out of the Qingzhu Palace, became alert and asked.

Lu Mingyuan made an unhappy look and asked:
  "I can still go to the two palaces and three courtyards, right? It's also part of the cold palace. I've been bored for so many days. Can't I go for a walk in the garden next door?"

Hearing this, the two Imperial Guards looked at each other and chose to let them go.

In this huge palace, unless he, Lu Mingyuan, was a third-grade peerless immortal, it would be impossible for him to step out of the cold palace.

Lu Mingyuan came to the place where the team of forbidden troops passed by just now.

Secretly remembering the location of the hall they entered, they then came to a garden and started to walk around in a pretentious manner.

It is said to be a garden, but it is actually some rockeries and artificial streams, flowers and plants, and birds and birds.

Lu Mingyuan frowned and began to think about how to find the thieves in the team without exposing himself.

After thinking for a long time, there was no good idea.

Maybe, you can ask Ziyun to tell her mother and then implement the plan?
  But Lu Mingyuan soon vetoed it himself.

No no no.

Ziyun is not yet her confidant.

If the mother is involved in danger, I am afraid that she will be involved in the whirlpool of the inheritance, and she will also be in danger. Her mother is her only protective umbrella and cannot be moved.

Those guys in the dark don't dare to do anything, it will be terrible if they attack my mother.

Besides, how should I explain these things? It might arouse my mother's suspicion.

Lu Mingyuan believed that it was not yet time to show off his cards to his mother.

When he is able to protect the other party, he will naturally slowly let her accept herself as she is now.

"grown ups."

Suddenly, Lu Mingyuan heard someone talking in a corner of the garden.

He quickly found the corner by listening to the sound, and with a slight leap, as light as an ape, he climbed onto a branch on the wall and hung on it.

Once you have martial arts energy, you can amplify the strength of various parts, such as legs, feet, and arms, just by circulating the energy.

Lu Mingyuan turned to the corner and listened carefully, and found that it was a conversation between the Imperial Guards who were changing the guard.

"I'm on duty tonight. I might not be able to obey my orders. Can I let the little one go home?"

"No."

"My wife is about to give birth. It is really urgent. Is it possible to find someone to take her place?"

"We must not do it. There is an urgent need for manpower in the palace now, and the Holy One has an order. If we can't find the thief before dawn, you and I will both lose our heads!"

Through the wall, Lu Mingyuan saw a thin-faced young forbidden soldier wearing scaly armor. He looked at a middle-aged man with a shaggy beard and a silver flag on his helmet with a sad face. The middle-aged man looked like a boss, and he looked similar in appearance. The same position as the commander.

"Father is liquidating the Imperial Army?"

Lu Mingyuan thought so.

On second thought, it seems reasonable.

After all, the demon girl can be let go in the palace dungeon, which means that the imperial army has been infiltrated for a long time.

Turning his eyes slightly, Lu Mingyuan looked at the imperial army in front of him and had a candidate in mind.

With the arrival of winter, the time the sun stays in the day gradually shortens and sets soon.

The entire magnificent Dayan Palace soon fell into darkness, and the palace lanterns were lit. If you could overlook it from the clouds, you would find it quite beautiful.

However, this sense of beauty was broken by the sound of "rustling" armor vibrating.

Tonight was destined to be a very unrestful night. Many Imperial Guards in armor and swords came out. Among them, you could even see many majestic figures with tattoos of exotic birds and animals on their chests, wearing silver boots, and carrying embroidered spring knives.

They are the supervisory agency of Dayan - Mingdeng Division, also known as "Imperial Capital Jinyi".

Jinyi of the Imperial Capital, together with Jiantai Si, played the role of supervising all officials and only obeyed the orders of Emperor Dayan. This was different from Jingtai Si.

"Search!"

A commander of the Royal Imperial Army took the lead, followed by a group of people, who entered the Qingzhu Hall like a swarm of swarms.

"What are you doing?"

"They're all rebelling, right?"

Lu Mingyuan pointed at the group of forbidden soldiers and cursed loudly.

"Your Highness, please calm down. We are ordered by the Holy One to search the palace and capture the traitors. Please forgive me."

The commander of the Imperial Guard came to him and clasped his fists, his expression neither humble nor arrogant.

"What? It turned out to be Father's order, okay?" After hearing the explanation, Lu Mingyuan calmed down the anger on his face. Although he had known it for a long time, he still had to pretend.

After half a stick of incense was passed, all the imperial guards who searched came out of the hall and shook their heads.

"No."

The commander of the Royal Imperial Army frowned and said: "How is it possible? Most of the palace has been searched. The palace gate was closed two days ago. It is impossible for these traitors to escape."

"In this case, let's split up and divide into small teams to search other palaces behind Leng Palace."

"We don't have much time, we must find them before dawn!"

"Yes!"

Lu Mingyuan watched as the team of dozens of people in front of him suddenly divided into eight groups and spread out.

He noticed that the palace marked during the day was also being searched.

But it came out soon, and it seemed that nothing was found.

Lu Mingyuan squinted his eyes, confused.

How could there be no one here?

I had been staring at this palace all afternoon. Some people came in and no one left. Could it be that they escaped through the window?
  Or is there a cave inside?
  Thinking of this, Lu Mingyuan glanced at the thin-faced Imperial Army soldiers who were waiting for orders.

"What's your name?"

The Imperial Guard was slightly startled, then clasped his fists and said, "Zhou Pingfu, I have met His Highness the Sixth Prince."

No matter how neglected he is, he is still the emperor's son, so he must be more respectful.

"What kind of traitor can't be found in the palace? Are you not trying your best and neglecting your duties?" Lu Mingyuan snorted coldly.

"Of course not. We are loyal to the Holy One and work diligently without any selfish motives."

Zhou Pingfu didn't think about why the prince talked to him, he just answered honestly.

"Then why can't we find it? Could it be that he burrowed into the ground and escaped?"

Zhou Pingfu still shook his head: "It's impossible. The palace has already activated the city protection formation. If there are any traces, you can dig out the ground three feet."

Lu Mingyuan rolled his eyes and said casually: "What if the traitor is hiding in the palace, waiting for the turmoil of your search to end?" Hearing this, Zhou Pingfu finished his words slightly and frowned:

"This subordinate has really never thought about this."

Lu Mingyuan said seriously: "Let's search again, just in case we find something, from here to there."

He also pointed at the marked palace.

Zhou Pingfu saw that the commander had not returned yet and had plenty of time. He glanced at the waning moon in the sky and felt anxious. He thought of his good wife at home, so he said to his brothers:
  "What the Sixth Prince said makes sense. Come with me and search again!"

Lu Mingyuan watched them go away, and a line of words appeared in front of his eyes.

"Emperor Orange Fate - Trapped Dragon in the Abyss, Refining Degree 8%"

"Awakened Trait: Hidden Dragon (Elementary)"

"Qianlong (Elementary): Do not use Qianlong. Yang Qi is hidden, which is helpful for practice and your understanding will be doubled."

Surprise flashed in Lu Mingyuan's eyes: "I didn't expect that Long Yuyuan has more than one destiny trait."

Doubling the ability to comprehend is a very practical trait. The speed of reading books and techniques, including the effect of studying, also increases, which greatly improves oneself.

Just as I was thinking about it, suddenly there was a sudden tremor in the palace not far away!
  The intensity was comparable to that of a small earthquake, and its source was the palace that Lu Mingyuan had marked before.

Almost all the imperial guards and the lighting guards of the lighting department were attracted and their attention was diverted.

A very fast black shadow rushed out of the hall, and suddenly came to the black tile eaves. The aura looked strong.

Lu Mingyuan noticed it immediately.

Silently retreated behind everyone.

The black figure said in a cold tone: "The King of Hell is easy to meet, but the kid is difficult to deal with. If you go and come back, someone will leak the traces. Who is it?"

Before he finished speaking, he was locked by an invisible and terrifying energy, and a rolling thunder sounded from the deep palace.

"You dare to act so recklessly in the Great Yan Palace, you are really looking for death!"

A man with a tiger's head on his shoulders and an airtight iron helmet rose from the void and threw an unrivaled black light.

When it flew above the heads of everyone, it was discovered that it was a short halberd dragging a chain.

With the short halberd as the center, a circle of black fireworks is formed, which has the ultimate power.

One blow pierced the black figure, and hot blood scattered into the void.

With a "pop" sound, the corpse fell from the sky.

Among the imperial troops gathered around, a commander looked at the strange lines on the corpse and made a judgment:
  "It's a witchcraft monster."

"Why do people from the Wu Clan appear in the palace?"

"Look at the flesh on his face, it's all dissolved. He came in in disguise, disguised as a palace guard."

Lu Mingyuan heard the chatter of people in the distance and returned to Qingzhu Hall silently.

"I've met General Pei."

Many of the surrounding Imperial Guards saluted respectfully when they saw this bronze-armored general with a tiger's head on his shoulders striding towards him.

General Pei glanced at the corpse with his spiritual consciousness, nodded thoughtfully and said:

"It turns out that the Thousand Machines Blood God Jade was used to seal the secrets. No wonder they can't be found. They are all hiding under the palace. They are really a bunch of gutter rats."

"After all, he was a middle-level fifth-level master, and he died after taking one blow from my general?"

Then he set his sights on a forbidden soldier: "Everyone who participated in the round-up has merit, and you are the first."

Zhou Pingfu was in a mess, his mouth was bloodshot, and he cupped his fists and said, "I don't dare to take this responsibility. It's all about doing my duty to the best of my ability."

"Well, you put all these guys into the dungeon and bring the body of this old witch sect man to His Majesty."

At this moment, a forbidden soldier ran over in a panic and shouted:
  "Oh no, something big happened!"

"What's the fuss about?" General Pei looked unhappy.

"One of the commanders went crazy and killed all the thieves who were being escorted, and then committed suicide himself!"

"what?!"

General Pei glared, thrust his halberd into the ground, and made an astonishing cry.

"Damn it, there are still others!"

The voice was filled with rage: "Isn't there anyone left alive?"

"No, they're all dead!"

As soon as these words came out, all the imperial guards present turned pale, including Zhou Pingfu.

This means that their work tonight was in vain.

"Extremely cunning!"

General Pei drew out his imperial saber and chopped the corpse on the ground to pieces. He found that there was black pus and blood in the opponent's abdomen.

"Disband the corpses, okay, okay!" General Pei narrowed his eyes and gritted his teeth.

Then he told everyone:
  "Everything that happens tonight will be reported to the Holy One by this general!"

When Zhou Pingfu heard this, an ominous premonition flashed through his heart.

He took one last look at the moon covered by dark clouds, and thought of his wife who was still at home.

I couldn't help but sigh in my heart.

At this time, a handsome boy was on the bed in the main hall, enjoying a massage from the palace maid.

Between the gauze tents, there are waves of fragrance.

Ziyun took off her shoes and socks, knelt behind Lu Mingyuan, and carefully kneaded the shoulders of the person in front of her.

Lu Mingyuan crossed his legs and leaned against the other person's soft body. On the surface, he was in a daze, but in fact, he was reading the text in front of him.

[If the hexagram is completed, it will be auspicious. 】

[Survive the disaster, trigger the destiny trait (dragon raises its head), and get a blue opportunity. 】

"Acquire Green Fate - Observe Motives and Colors, Refining Degree 20%"

"Green horoscope (observation of words and colors): Observe people by their appearance, judge them by their demeanor. Those who are wise can listen to their hearts directly, and those who are capable can judge people, wealth and honor."

"Unlock the destiny trait-knowing people (intermediate level)"

"Knowing people (intermediate level): You can see the subtle expressions on the other person's face, thereby judging the other person's likes, dislikes, and appearance, and what you say is easy to convince."

"It is a very useful destiny. The refining degree is 20% at the beginning. Could it be that the difficulty of refining is related to the quality level of the destiny?"

Lu Mingyuan thought so.

"Hidden Dragon" is a great help, and "Knowing People" is even more important. When walking in the harem, you will inevitably meet all kinds of people.

In addition, there is a blue opportunity, which you can look forward to.

With a thought, Lu Mingyuan's words disappeared, he raised his head and asked:
  "Have you copied the things I gave you?"

Ziyun said in a delicate voice: "Go back to Your Highness, I've copied half of it."

"Show me first."

Lu Mingyuan took the yellow book from the opponent's sleeve and started to read it.

"Shaking Mountain Fist Manual, Fiery Sword Technique, and some basic martial arts skills."

While browsing, he discovered that these pictures seemed to be moving, evolving in his mind, and he could quickly grasp their essence.

It seems that my understanding has indeed improved a lot.

Thinking of this, Lu Mingyuan suddenly became excited, sat up from the bed, and began to read the boxing manual and sword techniques in detail.

Ziyun behind her looked at the strange Lu Mingyuan in front of her, and couldn't help but tilt her head, her beautiful eyes showing confusion.

His Highness the Sixth Prince ignored him and ran to read a book.

Is this normal?
