Wo Chi Xi Hong Shi
Chapter 29 Xu Jingming Arrives
Xu Jingming, wearing a cyan robe and carrying a gun bag, walked out of the residential house.
"It's been almost a year since I left."
Xu Jingming walked along the familiar streets, feeling the change in the atmosphere of the imperial capital. "Before I went to the mysterious place, General Wang Jiuyan had just led his troops to defeat the main force of the rebel army in the Western Regions of the empire. The whole city of the imperial capital was cheering, and the people felt that they could live a stable life."
"But now, even the only stable Eastern Region has rebelled! The people can't see any hope at all." Xu Jingming could feel the dying atmosphere in the imperial capital.
People lived one day at a time.
It was even more chaotic outside the city, so they could only eke out a living inside the city.
They could only hope that when the rebels attacked the imperial capital in the future, they would show mercy to them, the common people.
"Three meat buns and two pieces of cake, please." Xu Jingming bought some food and walked while eating.
"Captain." A figure came from a distance.
Xu Jingming looked up and saw Wang Yi, carrying a bow and arrow and wearing a sword at her waist. Wang Yi's appearance was almost exactly the same as in reality. After all, she was just an ordinary cosmic life and there was nothing to hide.
"Sister Yi." Xu Jingming walked up with a smile, "How long have you been in the Blood Rain World?"
"More than a month." Wang Yi sighed, "I heard that the first batch of them were all Blood Rain Guards, and they got benefits until their hands were soft. I haven't tasted that taste."
Xu Jingming smiled.
Yes, the more chaotic the situation, the uglier the Blood Rain Guards' eating habits became.
Xu Jingming and Wang Yi soon walked to a quiet alley.
"Have you contacted Fei-laoye (Old Master Fei)?" Xu Jingming asked.
"Master Liu sent Fang Yu to deliver the message." Wang Yi said, "Fei-laoye is very careful in his actions. We're passing information..."
Xu Jingming nodded slightly.
"What kind of buns are you eating? We've prepared a banquet for you, and many old friends are here." Wang Yi said.
"I haven't tasted them in almost a year. I'll try the taste." Xu Jingming smiled, "A few buns and pastries are just appetizers."
The two walked and talked with a smile.
Soon, they arrived at an elegant room on the second floor of a restaurant.
"The captain is here." Wang Yi said with a smile as she pushed open the door.
Immediately, a group of people in the room stood up. It was Liu Hai, Tu Ling, Zhang Qing, Fang Yu, Zhou Yi, Zhao Fan, Lei Yunfang, Tie Lianyun, Hao Ganyun, Wu Sai and the ten of them. They all looked at Xu Jingming with a smile.
Seeing this scene, Xu Jingming was also in a good mood. It was rare for a group of fellow villagers from Xia country to gather in the Blood Rain World!
At this moment, inside the imperial capital's heavenly prison.
Wang Jiuyan was curled up in the prison. His hands and feet were shackled, and even his spine was locked. Even a top-notch expert could not break free.
Even moving his body caused excruciating pain.
"This General Wang is really good at enduring. He's been tortured beyond recognition, but he's still holding on. If I were him, I would have killed myself by banging my head against the wall!"
"He's been tortured so badly. It's worse than death."
The guards felt a chill in their hearts when they glanced at him.
After all kinds of torture, Wang Jiuyan's skin and flesh were torn, and even his hands and feet were showing white bones. He had long become a useless person! But Wang Jiuyan relied on his superb strength to hold on.
"昏君(hūn jūn – Tyrant), 昏君(hūn jūn – Tyrant)!" Wang Jiuyan's heart was filled with endless regret.
He never expected that after obediently returning to the imperial capital, this tyrant would be so ruthless and put his entire family in the heavenly prison.
His parents, children were tortured to death one by one, and Wang Jiuyan was going crazy!
He was not willing to die!
He wanted revenge! Kill that tyrant!
"I want to survive, survive." Wang Jiuyan tried every means to survive. As long as he survived, there would be a chance for revenge.
"General Wang, your life is really hard." A voice suddenly came from outside.
Wang Jiuyan was too lazy to take a look.
*Clang!*
The prison door opened.
Only then did Wang Jiuyan turn his head slightly and looked over. He saw a fair-skinned court attendant smiling as he walked up to him. After getting close, he whispered, "General Wang, His Majesty had a nightmare last night, so he ordered me to send General Wang on his way!"
Wang Jiuyan was stunned.
*Buzz!*
The envoy gently touched Wang Jiuyan's head with his finger, and it vibrated on his scalp. His brain immediately became a paste. Wang Jiuyan only felt a darkness in front of his eyes, and his consciousness fell into darkness.
"General Wang, what's wrong with you? General Wang? Come on! General Wang is dead." The court attendant shouted anxiously.
Imperial capital, Martial Arts Academy.
Dean Ming stood by the lake, looking in the direction of the heavenly prison from afar.
"Jiuyan is dead?" Dean Ming nodded slightly, "It's time for me to leave the Blood Rain World too!"
Then he turned and walked towards his house, sitting cross-legged on the bed.
Dean Ming closed his eyes, his consciousness completely leaving the Blood Rain World, and his body no longer had any breath.
A living planet.
Wang Jiuyan had silver hair and silver eyebrows, and was dressed luxuriously. He stared blankly at the beautiful lake in front of him.
*Splash.*
Dean Ming, also with silver hair and silver eyebrows, appeared out of thin air.
"Are you awake?" Dean Ming looked at him.
"This life in the Blood Rain World, is it actually a virtual world?" Wang Jiuyan murmured.
"It was your own decision to shield your memories and experience a lifetime in the Blood Rain World." Dean Ming said, "Your wife and children in the Blood Rain World all entered with shielded memories. Of course, they are just ordinary planetary civilians. For you and for them, a lifetime in the Blood Rain World is no different from a real life."
Wang Jiuyan nodded: "Grandfather, can you bring them here? I want to see them."
"I warn you."
Dean Ming said solemnly, "Experiencing a lifetime in the Blood Rain World with shielded memories is easy to confuse with real life! You must distinguish where reality is!"
"As an eighth-order limit cosmic lifeform, I can still distinguish this." Wang Jiuyan said, "But I really want to see them."
"After you become a ninth-order Origin lifeform, I will allow you to see them." Dean Ming said coldly, "Don't worry, because they have had a lifetime of fate with you after all, I will make them cosmic lifeforms!"
Wang Jiuyan looked at his grandfather.
"This time, entering with shielded memories is a risk, but it is also the hope to break through the bottleneck of the mind." Dean Ming said, "Don't let me down."
Wang Jiuyan looked at the lake again. When he died in the Blood Rain World, he was full of endless regret and unwillingness. The strong emotions were still affecting him at this moment. But he also gained a lot.
Because that was a life completely different from reality.
"Man can conquer nature? But Wang Jiuyan of the Blood Rain World was killed by a court attendant in the heavenly prison." Wang Jiuyan said silently, and he was also reflecting on his life in the Blood Rain World.
******
Blood Rain World, Imperial Capital, inside the palace.
"Wang Jiuyan is finally dead." The emperor felt a weight lifted from his heart when he received the news from his subordinates. Recently, he often had nightmares, dreaming that Wang Jiuyan was seeking revenge on him. He couldn't stand it anymore, so he sent his subordinates to send Wang Jiuyan on his way.
"Alas."
The emperor soon sighed secretly, "If I hadn't let Wang Jiuyan come back in the first place, perhaps the rebel army in the Western Regions would have been completely wiped out. The Eastern Region wouldn't have rebelled either! Wang Jiuyan could have led his troops to continue conquering the Northern Region..."
"No, no, no, if I didn't recall him, Wang Jiuyan would probably have directly controlled the Western Region and established himself as king. I did the right thing."
The emperor was still thinking.
Suddenly—
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty." An urgent voice came from outside, and an old man had already arrived outside the door. "What's the matter in such a panic?" The emperor frowned and looked at the door.
The old man then stepped in, bowed and saluted, and said repeatedly, "Your Majesty, something terrible has happened. Dean Ming has passed away!"
The emperor was stunned: "What did you say?"
"Dean Ming has passed away." The old man said.
"Impossible, how could a person like Dean Ming..." The emperor was unwilling to accept it.
"Birth, old age, sickness and death are unavoidable."
The old man said, "Dean Ming is too old after all, and it's normal for him to pass away. But at this time, without Dean Ming guarding the imperial capital, I'm afraid there will be trouble in the imperial capital."
The emperor also panicked.
The stability of the imperial capital was due to the Blood Rain Guards' deterrent on the one hand, and Dean Ming's existence on the other.
Dean Ming's strength was too terrifying, and numbers were meaningless in front of him! He deterred many ambitious people. Some terrifying experts in forces such as the Black Lotus Sect did not dare to go too far in their actions because they were afraid of Dean Ming's existence.
"Now that Dean Ming is dead, the Black Lotus Sect will definitely cause more trouble, and even those big families will be ready to make a move." The old man said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, we must be more careful."
"Why is this happening? Even the heavens are not helping me!" The emperor felt that the situation was getting worse and worse.
Xu Jingming and his group of fellow villagers from Xia country were having a great time at their dinner party in the Blood Rain World.
When they were on Blue Star, everyone competed with each other, but after integrating into the universe, the fellow villagers were extremely kind and naturally more united.
"Knock, knock, knock." Suddenly there was a knock on the door.
The twelve of them put down their wine glasses.
Hao Ganyun got up to open the door.
A gray-clothed man stood outside. The gray-clothed man smiled slightly when he saw Xu Jingming.
"Brother Jing, long time no see." The gray-clothed man said with a smile.
"Lord Qiu." Xu Jingming got up.
"Just call me Brother Qiu. We don't have any official positions now." The gray-clothed man smiled.
Back then, when Xu Jingming and his group escorted Fei-laoye and Fei Xinlan to the imperial capital, the many guards were led by the silver-haired old man "Lu Shao" and the gray-clothed man "Qiu Huayu".
"You guys eat. I'll go out for a while." Xu Jingming got up and left with the gray-clothed man.
The two left the restaurant.
"Brother Jing, have you finished your private affairs?" The gray-clothed man said as they walked in the alley.
"Yes, I just returned to the imperial capital today." Xu Jingming said, "I only learned about what happened in the imperial capital in the past year from my group of old friends. I didn't expect Fei-daren (Milord Fei) to be dead."
The gray-clothed man shook his head lightly: "Too many forces didn't want Daren (Milord) to arrive in the Eastern Region! It can only be said that this empire is hopeless. If that tyrant trusted Daren (Milord) and let Daren (Milord) be stationed in the Eastern Region and deploy troops, how could the situation in the world be so bad?"
Xu Jingming nodded: "How is Fei-laoye (Old Master Fei)?"
"You'll know when you see him." The gray-clothed man sighed and led Xu Jingming, turning left and right, to an ordinary residential house.
Inside the residential house.
Xu Jingming saw the silver-haired old man Lu Shao, and also saw Fei-laoye (Old Master Fei), who was dressed plainly. Now, Fei-laoye (Old Master Fei)'s hair was all white, and he looked very old. Obviously, Fei Qing's death was a great blow to Fei-laoye (Old Master Fei).
"Fei-laoye (Old Master Fei)." Xu Jingming said.
"Seeing you come back, I feel more confident." Fei-laoye (Old Master Fei) smiled, "Come, come, come, sit down."
"Knowing that you are back, Old Master is in a much better mood today." The silver-haired old man also said with a smile.
Xu Jingming and Fei-laoye (Old Master Fei) sat down.
There were only a few guards in this residential house, but Xu Jingming noticed when he came that there were also sentries in the surrounding residential houses. Obviously, Fei-laoye (Old Master Fei) still had some manpower around him.
"Since Qing-er died, there are fewer guards who are willing to continue to follow my Fei family." Fei-laoye (Old Master Fei) sighed, "Now, the manpower I can mobilize is limited. And many people in the imperial capital want to catch me. My manpower here is not strong enough, and I don't dare to hire too many outsiders. Once outsiders know my Fei family's identity, they might betray my Fei family."
Xu Jingming nodded.
Hiring a group of powerful guards, it is indeed possible for the guards to rebel and plunder outside the city.
"So we need our own experts to guard the place." Fei-laoye (Old Master Fei) smiled, "Knowing that you're back, I'm really happy."
This Mister Jing is a top-notch expert!
"With you guarding the place, and with Lu and Qiu, the two guard leaders, leading the other guards, we have the confidence to hire some manpower." Fei-laoye (Old Master Fei) said, "Now I only have one thought, to protect my daughter, Xinlan, and leave the imperial capital!"
"Escort Miss Fei?" Xu Jingming understood.
"Qing-er is dead, and I'm one foot in the coffin." Fei-laoye (Old Master Fei) said, "Now I just want Xinlan to leave the big whirlpool of the imperial capital. The imperial capital will become more and more chaotic in the future, so she must leave."
"Alright."
Xu Jingming nodded, "Fei Qing-daren (Milord Fei) has been kind to me, so I will do my best to protect Miss Fei."
He also intended to let the group of experts from Xia country leave the imperial capital. The situation in the imperial capital would be too chaotic in the future, and it would not be suitable for the experts from Xia country to take root and operate.
"It is you who have been kind to our Fei family." Fei-laoye (Old Master Fei) said with relief when he heard Xu Jingming's promise, "At this time, there are too many people who turn their backs on others. I can't thank Mister Jing enough for being willing to escort Xinlan."
Just as they were talking, there was a sudden and urgent knock on the door, causing the guard to approach the door with suspicion.
*Whoosh.*
A short man outside the door rushed forward and said anxiously, "Old Master, something has happened!"
"What is it?" Fei-laoye (Old Master Fei) frowned slightly and looked at him.
"Dean Ming of the Imperial Capital Martial Arts Academy has passed away, and Prince Qi sent someone to the Martial Arts Academy to forcibly take Miss away." The short man said.
"What!" Fei-laoye (Old Master Fei)'s face turned pale, ""Xinlan she?"
"We are cautious in the imperial capital and our information is not that well-informed. Prince Qi's residence was the first to learn of Dean Ming's death, and then sent someone to take Miss away." The short man said, "When we learned the news, it was already too late."
"Are you sure Xinlan was taken to Prince Qi's residence?" Fei-laoye (Old Master Fei) asked.
"Confirmed!"
The short man said, "Prince Qi's residence dispatched many people to the Martial Arts Academy to forcibly take Miss away, and many people saw it with their own eyes. We also investigated and confirmed that Miss was finally taken into Prince Qi's residence."
Fei-laoye (Old Master Fei) listened with annoyance and anxiety: "I was always worried about being frightened when I followed me, so I let Xinlan stay in the Martial Arts Academy all the time. With Dean Ming there, she could be very safe. I just didn't expect Dean Ming to pass away!"
"We must find a way to save Xinlan." Fei-laoye (Old Master Fei) looked anxiously at Guard Qiu and Guard Lu.
The gray-clothed man said solemnly, "Old Master, Prince Qi's residence is full of experts. There are more than a thousand of them, and even the renowned super-class expert, Liu Yuchen. The residence is even filled with hidden traps. The entire Prince Qi's residence is no less than a military fortress. It is simply suicide for us to go with this little manpower. We can't even make a ripple!"
"Yes." The silver-haired old man also shook his head, "Liu Yuchen is not an ordinary super-class expert! He has been in the super-class realm for more than 30 years, and his strength is now unfathomable. Prince Qi even worships him as his teacher. There are also a large number of first-rate experts. The entire Prince Qi's residence is extremely heavily guarded. Now that he has just captured Miss, Prince Qi's residence will definitely be more vigilant."
"What should we do then?" Fei-laoye (Old Master Fei) said anxiously, "I only have one daughter. I have to save her at all costs!"
Guard Qiu and Guard Lu both shook their heads slightly.
There was not a glimmer of hope.
It was completely suicide! The subordinates would not be willing either.
"Leave this matter to me." Xu Jingming said.
Fei-laoye (Old Master Fei) was stunned.
Guard Lu and Guard Qiu also looked at Xu Jingming in disbelief.
Leave it to you?
That was Prince Qi's residence!
"Brother Jing." Guard Qiu immediately said, "Even if you have reached the super-class realm, there are still strong and weak among the super-class that Liu Yuchen is known for his reputation is earned from killing. What's more, there are over a thousand first-rate experts in the entire Prince's residence!"
"There's no need to do things that lead to death." Guard Lu also said.
"Of course my strength is not enough."
Xu Jingming said, "I will ask my master and the others for help."
"Master?"
Fei-laoye (Old Master Fei), Guard Lu, and Guard Qiu were shocked.
"My master's strength is far beyond mine." Xu Jingming nodded, "Killing that Liu Yuchen is a piece of cake! I will ask my master and many experts from my sect to help!"
"It is a matter of risking their lives for the experts to go to Prince Qi's residence to save my daughter." Fei-laoye (Old Master Fei) said excitedly, "I don't have anything to offer, so I can only offer 100,000 taels of silver first! After the person is rescued, I will offer another 100,000 taels of silver with both hands. I know that this little silver is not enough to ask you to attack Prince Qi's residence."
"Let's take the silver after saving Miss." Xu Jingming got up, "Time is of the essence. I will go to see my master immediately and save Miss as soon as possible."
After saying that, he walked straight out.
Fei-laoye (Old Master Fei) was extremely moved.
"After the matter is completed, take the silver." Guard Lu watched Xu Jingming leave, and then said, "Brother Jing's actions are really embarrassing."
"Rescuing someone from Prince Qi's residence will cost Brother Jing's sect a great price." Guard Qiu said, "Perhaps some fellow disciples will die in the Prince's residence. Since this 200,000 taels of silver has been promised, we must not reduce it so that we don't disappoint anyone."
Fei-laoye (Old Master Fei) also nodded: "I hope Xinlan can be rescued."
"I will also lead people to secretly watch outside the Prince's residence, so that we can respond at a critical moment." Guard Qiu said.
"Go." Fei-laoye (Old Master Fei) nodded.
The sky was dim.
Xu Jingming came to the street outside Prince Qi's residence and looked at the Prince's residence from afar.
"Sect?"
"I am enough alone!" Xu Jingming said silently.
"Since learning the *Primal Star Conjecture - Light Chapter*, the spear in my hand has not really seen blood!" Xu Jingming's heart was full of murderous intent. Prince Qi's residence had traps and a large number of experts patrolling everywhere.
For Xu Jingming, having too many people would only get in the way.
He was more confident acting alone.
He was not in a hurry, but ate ten catties of meat and drank a lot of wine in a tavern on the street. At the same time as he finished eating, cell-level control allowed Xu Jingming to digest these foods and have enough energy reserves.
There was no way, he was going to start a massacre later, which would consume a lot of energy. If he didn't eat more, he would become skinny after fighting for a long time.
"Almost there."
Xu Jingming paid the money and left the tavern. At this moment, it was completely dark.
Prince Qi's residence occupied a large area, and the range of the courtyard wall was very wide. Xu Jingming walked to a relatively remote corner of the courtyard wall, first took out the gun bag behind him, and locked the two sections of the spear by inserting and twisting them.
Holding the spear, Xu Jingming leaped silently and crossed the courtyard wall into Prince Qi's residence.
