The Taoist turned around and ordered: "Send someone to keep an eye on him and collect the elixir at midnight tomorrow. If this little kid has any shortcomings before that time, you can all bury him with him." Several frog slaves praised him one after another.

yes.

The Taoist laughed a few times, turned around and walked out. Yu Zhen'er followed and walked out. Before going out, Yu Zhen'er turned to look at Wang Changfeng, but said nothing and turned around and walked out.

Several frog slaves looked at Wang Changfeng with a sinister smile, like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.

A frog slave said: "I heard that this kid has practiced the Heart Washing Sutra, and his skills are very profound. When the immortal takes the inner elixir tonight, the remaining flesh and blood is also a good thing, and we can all enjoy it."

"

Another one chuckled sinisterly and echoed: "That's natural. Last time, this kid killed several of our brothers. We will avenge those brothers tonight."

Wang Changfeng closed his eyes and ignored the noise of the frog slaves. He mobilized the breath in his body and felt that it was still running smoothly, but he didn't know if it was due to the ice bed. His strength was much weaker, and maybe less than 50% of it was left.

I had gained strength. I quietly tried to break free from the shackles of my limbs. I tried my best, but couldn't shake it at all.

Wang Changfeng was a little worried. Could it be that he really wanted to watch his life flow away, and finally his belly was cut open by the old monster and the inner elixir was taken away?

At this moment, the door opened with a clang and a group of people walked in.

Upon seeing him, several frog slaves quickly bowed and saluted, and said in unison: "See His Highness the King Youxian."

When Wang Changfeng heard this, he knew that it was King Youxian who was wearing a bright yellow dragon robe and looked like an emperor.

King You Xian waved his hand and said, "I heard that the Dharma Protector caught a master of inner alchemy, and I came here specially to have a look."

A frog slave hurriedly stepped forward to please him and said, "This boy is indeed very capable. I heard that it was the Saint Protector who took it down herself."

King Youxian nodded and walked slowly over, followed by several big men in masks who quietly sealed the door.

Walking closer, King Youxian looked at Wang Changfeng carefully, and after a while he said: "Jin Yiwei?"

Wang Changfeng squinted his eyes and carefully looked at the so-called Youxian King in front of him. He was suddenly shocked. Isn't this the one? In the capital that day, Zheng He had retrieved a portrait from the secret files of Da Nei. It is said that there is only one like this in the whole world.

One picture showed the person Xunlongwei was looking for. Although he had only seen it a few times, Wang Changfeng had already firmly imprinted the appearance and characteristics of that person in his heart. But this time he was acting nervously, as he was afraid of being caught by that person when he came in just now.

King Youxian noticed it, so he never dared to take a closer look. Now this person was standing a few feet in front of him. Although he was a little different from the person in the painting and looked thinner, his face shape and eyebrows were similar.

Is this the person I am looking for this time?

Wang Changfeng felt that his throat was dry and he was a little speechless. Although he had been prepared to search for something that could not be found for several years, but suddenly meeting him in such a short period of time really made him feel a little unreal.

After calming down his excitement, Wang Changfeng smiled calmly: "Back to King Youxian, yes and no."

King Youxian asked again: "Are you here for me this time?"

Wang Changfeng felt that King Youxian made people feel close to him just by looking at him. He did not have the aloof and distant feeling that he expected from the True Dragon Emperor. He was like an older brother who was slightly older than him. After thinking about it for a while, Wang Changfeng decided to keep it true.

He replied, "Yes, and no."

King Youxian laughed and said: "You dare to come to this dragon's pond and tiger's den alone, you are indeed a young hero."

The frog slaves nearby were a little confused as they listened to the two men's questions and answers. One of them smiled strangely and said: "After tomorrow night, the hero will also become a ghost hero."

King Youxian turned his head and glanced at the frog slave, and said: "The road to the underworld is lonely, why don't you guys go down and accompany him?"

The frog slaves quickly shook their heads and said: "King Youxian is joking, I want to live a few more years."

King Youxian's expression remained unchanged, and he said coldly: "Have I ever told a joke?" As soon as he finished speaking, several big men wearing masks stepped forward and twisted the necks of the frog slaves from behind, and only heard a few clicks.

With a crisp sound, the heads of several frog slaves hung down and fell limply to the ground.

Although Wang Changfeng guessed that the Youxian King might have come to visit him, he didn't expect that he would directly take action. This was the rhythm of trying to rob the prison.

King Youxian turned to look at Wang Changfeng, who looked surprised, and said: "No need to say more, we will talk about it when you come to my place."

Someone nearby had already found the key from the frog slave, opened the shackles that locked Wang Changfeng's hands and feet, and two more people helped him down from the ice bed.

Wang Changfeng felt weak in his legs and feet, and he could hardly stand. The King You Xian indicated with his eyes that someone brought a set of clothes for an entourage, and he put it on for Wang Changfeng, and also brought a mask and put it on him. Fortunately,

Wang Changfeng has a slender figure, and although he looks a little thinner than those big men, he is not very eye-catching.

Another person stripped a frog slave of his clothes, put on Wang Changfeng's clothes, carried him to the ice bed, and locked the shackles. The lights in the room were dim, and it was difficult to find clues without looking carefully from outside the door.

Several big men dragged the corpses of the frog slaves to a corner and placed them against the wall, as if they were resting on the spot.

King Youxian didn't even look at the corpses of the frog slaves on the ground. He turned around and walked out. Two big men pinched Wang Changfeng from both sides and supported him secretly. The group of people filed out of the door and walked out.

Only then did Wang Changfeng realize that he was imprisoned underground in the dark (although there was no daylight deep in the seabed). It was cold and damp everywhere. There were many frog slaves guarding him along the way, and the defense was quite tight.

It's just that King Youxian obviously has a distinguished status. When the frog slaves saw him, they quickly bowed their heads and saluted without daring to say anything. The group of people walked out of the dungeon without any surprises.

Wang Changfeng got rid of the clammy feeling, took a few big breaths, and his whole body breath became much smoother.

After walking for a while, we arrived at Lanfang Courtyard, where King Youxian lived. This was the largest courtyard in the entire mansion. The old monster himself usually lived in Yaoyue Cave, and the previous courtyards were all used for entertaining guests.

After entering the room, King Youxian motioned for everyone else to exit. Once the door was closed, only King Youxian and Wang Changfeng were left.

King Youxian sat up and said, "It's safe here. You can take off the mask."

While Wang Changfeng took off his mask, he pondered in his mind how to address the person in front of him. Although this person was no longer the emperor, he still had a very special status after all, and he had just taken a risk to save himself, so he should be respected no matter what he said.

Wang Changfeng knelt down on one knee, bowed and said in salute: "I have met His Royal Highness King Youxian, and I will never forget His Royal Highness's life-saving grace."

King Youxian waved his hand and said: "When you get up and speak, there is no need to be polite. I, King Youxian, am just a self-comfort for a down-and-out person."

Wang Changfeng understood in his heart, but the matter was too sensitive and could not be spoken out by himself. Moreover, he had the imperial mandate this time, so it was inconvenient for him to tell the whole story about the purpose of his trip.

There were two knocks on the door, and King Youxian said, "Come in." A follower brought a pot of hot tea, and poured a cup each for King Youxian and Wang Changfeng. Instantly, the aroma of tea filled the room.

The attendant quietly withdrew and closed the door.

King Youxian picked up the teacup, smelled it gently, and said, "It still smells like the tea I brought with me. Everything in the Eight-Armed Old Monster's Mansion has a weird smell of blood." After that, he took a sip.

Seeing this, Wang Changfeng also picked up the cup and smelled it carefully. It was indeed very fragrant. He not only praised it: "What a fragrant tea, I have never drunk such good tea even in the capital."

King Youxian smiled and said: "So, you are from the capital?"

Wang Changfeng quickly put down his tea cup and replied respectfully: "I am not from the capital, but I have lived in the capital for about half a year."

King Youxian smiled and said: "I told you that there is no need to be formal. Just treat it as a casual chat between two friends. You can say what you want, and you don't have to say what you don't want to say."

Wang Changfeng nodded in agreement, lowered his head and took a sip of tea, sipping it carefully.

After a long time, King Youxian asked: "Do you know why I want to save you?"

Wang Changfeng shook his head and said: "I really don't know. How could His Highness know where I am being held?"

King Youxian sighed and said: "I think I have no weaknesses in my life, but I have made many mistakes when it comes to family relationships, and that's why I'm in this situation now."

Wang Changfeng felt nervous. He had heard earlier that in the Battle of Jingnan, Emperor Jianwen was not decisive enough because of his family affection. He was hesitant and missed the opportunity many times. As a result, the weak defeated the strong, turned defeat into victory, and finally obtained a big treasure. That's all.

The rumors were strictly prohibited after King Yan ascended the throne, and they were only spread by word of mouth secretly among the people. The exact truth became more and more unclear. Now that Emperor Jianwen himself said it himself, Wang Changfeng knew that the previous rumors were true.

Seeing that Wang Changfeng remained silent, King Youxian continued: "Do you know who the old weirdo wants to marry this time?"

Wang Changfeng thought to himself that King Youxian already knew Zhu Minmin's identity. From this, he probably knew his identity and the purpose of his trip. In this case, it would be better to be more honest, so as not to make people feel chilled. He said: "Your Highness

It seems that you already know? To be honest with His Highness, I came here to save the princess from danger."

King Youxian nodded and said: "You are quite candid. Unlike those people in Jinyiwei who are too crooked, I was the most annoying to listen to them."

Wang Changfeng smiled and said: "Your Highness seems to have been annoyed by Jin Yiwei a lot. Although I have a name in Jin Yiwei, I am not under the control of Jin Yiwei."

"If it's not under the control of Jin Yiwei, it must be under the control of the inner prison. I'm afraid it's still directly responsible to the emperor, right?"

Wang Changfeng smiled shyly, nodded, and said nothing. In his heart, he was very shocked by the accurate conclusion of the Youxian King. It seemed that he was very familiar with the relevant affairs of the court.

King Youxian laughed and said: "You probably think why I am so sure? These things used to be very common in my eyes." After saying this, he sighed.

Wang Changfeng chuckled and did not dare to answer.

King Youxian shook his head and said with a wry smile: "As I get older, I always like to recall the past, that's all."

Wang Changfeng cupped his hands and said: "His Royal Highness is in his prime, and there is no such thing as getting old."

King Youxian said: "There is no need to comfort me. Over the past few years, I have already looked away from these things, but when I saw you today, it seemed that the past things were brought back to mind, and I became verbose."

"Looking at the situation, it seems that Your Highness has been informed of the princess's imprisonment in advance?" Wang Changfeng didn't want to dwell too much on that topic. King You Xian couldn't stop thinking about it, and he couldn't answer the conversation at all, so he had to quickly interrupt.

Start a topic.

"Actually, it didn't take long. Before I came here, I didn't know who the old monster was going to marry. It wasn't until I noticed that you guys had sneaked in that I thought there might be something wrong."

Wang Changfeng's heart skipped a beat. It seemed that he and Princess Long San had been discovered by King You Xian a long time ago, but he didn't say anything at the time.

King Youxian continued: "You don't have to worry about your companion. As far as I know, the old monster has not found her yet, and she seems to be relatively familiar with the old monster's house. She disappeared soon after entering.

Even my people have been lost."

Wang Changfeng nodded, thinking that it seemed that the Third Princess Long had successfully lurked down, but he hoped she would not take action rashly.

"I guessed that you might be here to save people. Since you are willing to take such a big risk to come in, the person you rescued must not be an ordinary woman. I immediately sent someone to secretly inquire, and then I found out that the old weirdo the day before yesterday

Two women were kidnapped from the sea. One of them was good at martial arts and was controlled by him with secret methods and became a patron saint. The other was said to be of the blood of the Tian family and was regarded as a candidate for marriage. I think of you and that companion.

I know that this news is reliable. Since I am of the blood of the Tian family, I cannot allow that old monster to wantonly destroy and trample me. Although the court is sorry for me, I still have some conscience as a human being."

Only then did Wang Changfeng roughly understand the whole story, and why King Youxian came to rescue him as soon as he was caught by the old monster. He must have secretly sent someone to follow him. But since King Youxian was going to save the princess, why did he bother to alert the snake?

Save yourself first?

King Youxian seemed to understand what he was thinking, and continued: "The place where the old monster kept the girl was heavily guarded. My people tried many times, and unless they broke through, it would be difficult for them to succeed. Later, the old monster locked up the girl again.
To be continued...
