Chapter 124 The Prince Arrives [Ask for monthly tickets! ]

"It sounds..." Liang Yue frowned, "It seems a bit difficult to check."

"Hey." Xie Wenxi said with a smile: "It's already this critical moment, we have to check them one by one no matter how difficult it is."

Liang Yue took the document, which recorded in detail the general situation of these people, that is, the intelligence held by the Evil Extermination Division and their recent movements.

"The first disciple of Dragon and Tiger Hall, Du Jian."

This goes without saying. In the last battle at Wanjin Tower, Du Jian intervened in Zhuxie Division's pursuit of Wu Mozi, allowing him to escape by using a formation. Later, he even made a bet with Zhuxie Division's people on who would catch the prisoner first.

This indirectly led to Liang Yue's pursuit of Wu Mozi and his acquisition of the second Nine Secret Book.

From this perspective, he can also be regarded as a benefactor of Liang Yue.

Logically speaking, Longhutang is under the tutelage of the national teacher and is also considered a monk. It should not have appeared at a gathering like that of Princess Fuyang, which is known for its debauchery.

However, the Zen method practiced by the National Master's lineage does not seem to care about this.

Originally, Li Longchan was a disciple of the Zen Buddhism's Mianbi Temple. However, because he violated the precept of killing and lost his compassion, his realm dropped and he was expelled from the temple.

Most people can no longer practice after reaching this stage.

Even with a talent like Wang Rulin, after losing the support of Taoism, he could only switch to martial arts and return to the realm of a grandmaster with his amazing talent.

But Li Longchan is also an extremely ruthless man. He actually created a set of "Only My True Zen" by himself, which not only restored his cultivation, but also made further progress!
The profound meaning of "Only I, the True Zen" is to be in harmony with myself and to be compassionate to myself.

In short, I am also a human being, and being good to myself is also a kind of compassion. Those who practice this Zen should first satisfy their own wishes, and then do good deeds to help others.

In this way, all his actions were in line with his wishes and became a part of "Treat Me with Mercy". His later life was smooth sailing. He entered the God Capital and presented treasures to become a national teacher. His cultivation level soared all the way to the seventh place on the Tongtian List today.

His disciples also practiced "Only I, True Zen", focusing on being kind to oneself.

Compared with the strict and complicated precepts of Southern Zen Buddhism, the precepts of Longhu Hall are almost non-existent.

You don't have to shave your head, drink alcohol and eat meat, marry and have children, get promoted and make money...

It just so happens that by practicing in this way, their Taoism skills are getting better and better, and more and more believers are following Longhu Hall.

Even if they couldn't stand the Mianbi Temple, they could only refuse to acknowledge its status as a Buddhist heritage. There was no other way.

On the contrary, Li Longchan had the support of the imperial court and was extremely powerful, making it increasingly difficult for him to suppress the Southern Zen Buddhism.

The same goes for Du Jian, as he is the first disciple of the national master. Although he is nominally a Buddhist, the disciples of Longhu Hall have never bound themselves by Buddhist precepts. Although it is a bit strange for him to come here, it is not completely incomprehensible.

"Is it possible that Longhutang is the new partner that Princess Fuyang has found?" Liang Yue pondered, "He came here just to discuss cooperation."

"That's possible." Xie Wenxi nodded.

Liang Yue looked at the second name.

"Zhou Xuanci, a Zen monk of the Southern School."

puff.

He couldn't hold it together for a moment.

"Is this monk Xuanci a disciple of the Mianbi Temple?" Liang Yue couldn't help but laugh, "Did Princess Fuyang do this on purpose? Inviting these two monks together."

The reason why he was so surprised was because the relationship between Longhutang and Mianbi Temple was, if not as close as family, then it could be said to be incompatible.

It would be fine if we just invited two monks, but they are the ones who have a feud with each other.

Xie Wenxi said: "Why he came is also a question."

Although it was a little strange for the Dragon and Tiger Hall disciples to come here, it was understandable. However, as pure-blooded monks, it made no sense for the Mianbi Temple disciples to attend such a gathering.

The time when Priest Ruyi came that day was different in nature from this one. It was just a simple banquet, otherwise she would not have been able to stay.

If a Zen monk comes to attend an orgy party, doesn't he have to pierce the wall when he returns to the temple?
This point will indeed need to be investigated in detail when the time comes.

Continuing to read on, it is found that Zhou Xuanci is still one of the more outstanding young generation in Mianbi Temple, and is currently ranked 34th on the Young Lin List.

Although he was ranked third from the bottom, he was among the thirty-six young men with the highest cultivation in the world, and he was ranked third from the bottom among them.

There are already tens of millions of people under pressure.

He was born into the Zhou family, one of the three major families in Nanzhou, but was sent to Buddhism at a young age.

The customary way of addressing Southern School monks is to add their secular name to their Dharma name, and this monk is one of them. Xuanci is his Dharma name, and his secular surname is Zhou, so he is called Zhou Xuanci.

Liang Yue suddenly thought, it’s a good thing that his master is from the north.

……

The next person, Wei Kangnian, had a rather unremarkable origin; he came from a poor family in Nanzhou and came here to take the imperial examination.

Zhang Ji was also from a noble family in Nanzhou, so he invited some fellow scholars to attend the gathering as a means of winning people's hearts. When these scholars passed the imperial examinations, he would have made some friends with them in advance.

"This guy is quite interesting." Xie Wenxi said, "The people who were monitoring him found that he set up a stall to tell fortunes in the south of the city during the day, and went to banquets attended by dignitaries at night. He didn't do anything else. He just ate when he arrived and left after eating. It seems that he went there to...eat for free."

Liang Yue wondered, "Isn't he also from a wealthy family? Why is he doing so badly?"

Even when his family was in trouble in the past, it wouldn't be like this. After all, he is a Qi-refining master with some experience, so it shouldn't be difficult for him to make money.

Similar to the four great families of Shendu, in Yunlu City, Qingdu in Nanzhou, there are also three great families of Qingdu, namely Qi, Wei and Zhou.

They are both thousand-year-old families. Because there is no emperor over their heads, the influence of these three surnames in Qingdu is greater than that of the four surnames in Shendu. Even if it is just a small branch of the Wei family, it shouldn't be so difficult.

"His family situation is special. He has never been accepted by the direct line of the Wei family and has been oppressed. He has lived a very hard life. People who went to investigate him found out that he was a well-known poor man in the Qing capital." Xie Wenxi said.

"Wow." Liang Yue sighed.

When I turned to the last digit, I felt a little troubled.

During the banquet that day, he noticed the young man, the Prince of Dinggou.

He should be considered the most distinguished person at the gathering that day. He was always the center of attention, so much so that big names like Du Jian and Zhou Xuanci were overshadowed.

There was no way. Although Princess Fuyang was the emperor's daughter, she was only one of many children and had no real power. In terms of actual status, she was definitely not as high as the only son of Prince Dinggou.

If nothing unexpected happens, he will be the one who inherits the hereditary throne in the future.

King Ding Gou sent him to practice far away from the court because he saw that the matter of the dragon race was still unresolved. Once the successor was decided, he would definitely let Jiang Yan follow the new emperor, and maybe even continue to lead the three guards of Longyuan left by his father.

Because Jiang Zhenye took this route, people in the court all commented that his military strategy, martial arts, and skills were not very strong among the generals, but he could have the status that surpasses everyone else today, relying on the word "loyalty".

Jiang Yan was obviously also trained along this trajectory.

"If he did it, it would be difficult to investigate." Xie Wenxi said.

"No matter how difficult it is, we have to do it." Liang Yue stood up suddenly, "Then let's start with him. I'll go meet this prince."

A day has passed, and I thought Zhang Ji was the end, but it turned out to be just the beginning.

Now we have to seize every day.

He walked into the courtyard. The room prepared for Ling Yuanbao by the Zhuxie Yamen was right next to his room, so she could monitor Liang Yue at any time to see if he had any unusual behavior.

but……

"Captain Ling!" After Liang Yue knocked on the door several times and got no response, he shouted at the top of his voice: "Wake up, we have to go to work!"

"Um?!"

Ling Yuanbao, whose long hair had been blown into a mess, suddenly jumped up from the bed, her sleepy eyes full of pain. She pushed her head, seemed to be a little more awake, and let out a wail.

"You slept so late last night and got up so early today—"

……

Although Ling Yuanbao was tired, he washed up very quickly. He probably knew that Liang Yue was in a hurry and was afraid of delaying him.

So much so that when he walked out of the room, his eyes were lifeless.

Liang Yue didn't care. It didn't matter whether her brain worked or not, as long as her body could move.

The two were about to walk out of the gate of the Zhuxie Division when they suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves from the other side.

A large group of people rushed over here.

This team occupied almost half of the long street. On each side was a team of well-dressed light cavalry, with arrows full of quivers and swords in their sheaths. They were all elite guards of the imperial capital.

In the center were two dragon-scaled horses, which were extremely large, more than a head taller than the surrounding war horses. They had horns on their heads, fiery eyes, and a mouth full of fangs.

Ordinary knights simply cannot suppress the ferocity of this horse.

The man sitting on the first horse was a tall and strong man with broad shoulders and long arms, with sharp eyebrows and sharp cheeks, and a terrifying light in his eyes. He was tall and mighty, wearing a robe of a four-clawed fierce python. He sat upright on the horse, without shaking or swaying, and his back was straight. Wherever he passed, everyone was in awe and avoided him.

On the second horse was a dashing young man in gorgeous clothes, but at this moment he had his head down and a gloomy look, not looking like a dashing young man.

The large group of people arrived in front of the Zhuxie Yamen. The man in the dragon robe reined in his horse and turned over to the ground. The surrounding light cavalry had already dismounted in advance and lined up outside the door to guard.

"Your Majesty, you have come! I am really sorry for not coming to greet you. Why didn't you inform me in advance?" Xie Wenxi rushed out as soon as he received the news and said respectfully, "Mr. Chen has gone out and hasn't come back yet."

"I'm not here to see the Evil Execution Order." The man called the prince pressed the boy's shoulder and pulled him over, saying, "Today, I am here to escort the rebellious son to the Evil Execution Order for trial!"

"Oh?" Xie Wenxi was slightly surprised when he heard this, and said, "Your Highness is just one of the few people that the Evil Slaying Division has not yet confirmed, so he is not suspected of murder. We can just go to his house and ask questions. Why bother Your Highness to mobilize so many troops?"

The man who suddenly came to the Zhuxie Division turned out to be the current leader of the Three Guards of Longyuan and the powerful King Dinggou, Jiang Zhenye!

The young man behind him was the same person Liang Yue saw that night, Prince Jiang Yan.

Jiang Zhenye frowned and walked with his son to the Zhuxie Courtyard, saying loudly: "This boy does not follow the family teachings and hangs out with bad people. He caused trouble and refused to tell the truth about his whereabouts. It is really not good not to discipline him strictly. Today I will borrow the territory of the Zhuxie Courtyard to make up for your education."

After that, he shouted, "Kneel down!"

Jiang Yan didn't dare to protest and fell to his knees.

With a whoosh, the person next to him handed over a large red lacquered stick, and Jiang Zhenye swung it high.

"Let me ask you, where were you on the night Princess Fuyang was killed? Why were you so vague when the people from the Zhuxie Division asked you about it?" he asked sternly.

Everyone in the Evil Punishment Bureau watched but did not intervene, allowing him to interrogate him.

"Father!" Jiang Yan said solemnly, "I am definitely not a murderer, but where I went... I really don't want to tell you."

Boom!
