Destiny is ashes

Chapter 200: The Emperor's Blood Inheritance (33)

An Jing's question was direct and straightforward, leaving You Ruhui with no choice but to dodge the question.

However, she didn't intend to avoid the issue.

“I don’t know the specific details.”

You Ruhui lowered her head helplessly and stared at her palm lines, where a line of life that had been extended was flickering and shining: "But after all, I am not some noble lady who knows nothing about rumors from the outside world... So, I guess."

"It should be related to the 'throne'."

"Okay, no need to say more."

An Jing raised his hand, indicating that the topic was over: "Now that you put it, I understand."

It is a coincidence that the year An Jing was born was the year when Emperor Tianyou Xuanguang Shao, who was temple-named Shenzong and lived in the heyday of the Spring and Autumn Period, passed away.

What’s even more unfortunate is that because he was too young and too confident, Emperor Tianyou did not appoint a crown prince before his death.

The succession model of the throne in the Dachen Imperial Court is different from that of ordinary people, because each generation of emperors lives for more than a thousand years, and the descendants of the emperor's blood who do not inherit the imperial mandate, although most of them can cultivate into gods, but if they are unlucky and not diligent, they cannot become immortals and have a lifespan of 500 years.

As for the thousand-year lifespan of the Holy Manifestation, even the Emperor's blood could not guarantee it - although the probability was indeed much higher than that of ordinary people, failure was also common.

In other words, there is a high probability that the emperor's first generation or even the second and third generation descendants will not live to see the emperor's death.

Although this problem seems to be solved by the emperor constantly giving birth to offspring, it is said that the price of inheriting the imperial mandate is that the number of offspring in each generation is fixed, and the total number of imperial blood is also fixed... In short, if Emperor Dachen dies and has not decided on a crown prince, the new emperor will have to be chosen from among the eight kings.

King Jing was naturally one of them.

Now it seems that Prince Jing's line must have failed in the struggle for the throne in the imperial court and was brutally purged... After all, the one who has ascended the throne now is the youngest of the eight princes, Prince Fu.

But there are other possibilities, because An Jing also remembered that the place where King Jing was stationed was exactly Baiyuan in the vast sea.

In this case, the vast sea disaster... was it King Jing's negligence, or was it someone else's conspiracy?
As for why An Jing could guess so much?

Ha, Dachen has a history of tens of thousands of years, and there are at least thousands or tens of thousands of versions of folk stories about the grievances and love-hate relationship between emperors. The Dachen officials don’t care about it. In fact, as long as they don’t write about some palace affairs and just tell some simple stories about the imperial court, they are happy to let the people spread the praises of their majesty.

Judging from An Jing's memories of his previous life, the reason why You Ruhui was being hunted down by the imperial court so persistently was probably because she brought out some very important treasure, or a truth and a secret... The treasure was so important that it didn't matter even if millions of people were buried with it.

"anyway."

An Jing calmed himself down and said in a deep voice, "We all have to leave Kanming City."

"Yeah." You Ruhui also responded. She looked at the Black Armor Guards with a complicated expression: "Even they have arrived here, my whereabouts have been completely exposed... From now on, I can't stay in Kanming City anymore."

"I must leave Dachen and go to Chenli."

At this moment, An Jing had already opened the window and walked in to say hello to Aunt Huai before leaving.

But at this point, he still turned his head and looked at You Ruhui: "In my opinion, escaping into Chen Li will lead to your death - in the territory of Dachen, you can at least use your magical powers to deal with it, but once you enter Chen Li, your magical powers will be ineffective, and you will be found before you can escape far."

"I don't think you're such a silly girl, so I guess..."

An Jing whispered his guess: "Who are you waiting for in Kanming City?"

"Wait for someone who is strong enough and can take over for you."

You Ruhui was silent. "Indeed, I..."

Just as the black-haired girl took a deep breath and was about to confess.

Suddenly, the city was explored.

At the seven earth vein nodes, strange gray-black smoke columns lit up.

The column of smoke rose into the sky with a sense of decay and decline, obviously a demonic aura, which immediately made An Jing and You Ruhui's expressions change slightly.

——Oops! He overlooked the shamelessness of Dachen and the extent of his collusion with the demons!
An Jing also reacted at this moment. If the magic talisman carried by the previous Black Armor Guard was activated, then the talismans on the other Black Armor Guards, those who were exploring other earth vein nodes, would definitely be activated as well!

In this way, not only were the underground veins of Kanming City temporarily blocked, greatly reducing the power of the underground veins that You Ruhui could rely on... but they were also exposed!

An Jing raised his head and looked towards the location of Huaiji Tea Shop - one of the eight earth vein nodes. Now, only this place was free of demonic energy. So, was there any need to say what happened somewhere else?

If nothing unexpected happens, all those Black Armor Guards will gather here!
"quick!"

Seeing this, An Jing immediately took action: "Let's get out of the city!"

"or……"

At this moment, An Jing had already thought of taking You Ruhui and Aunt Huai to the Tianyuan Realm.

In any case, Aunt Huai helped him solve some minor troubles and exposed the existence of the True Demon Cult, and You Ruhui really helped him a lot. It would definitely be impossible for An Jing to sit back and do nothing.

But even An Jing knew very well that there was no way he could escape with You Ruhui.

The opponent is the Great Chen Emperor Court, the Emperor Blood's Eyes! That is not a simple opponent. In An Jing's conception, that is at least the level of the ultimate enemy!

In this case, the only way to have the best of both worlds is to take You Ruhui and the aunt to the Tianyuan Realm! In this way, Dachen's induction will be cut off, An Jing will be able to move freely, and You Ruhui must also know many secrets related to the Dachen Dynasty, and even know a lot of royal secrets?

All in all, An Jing believed that he would not lose money.

Even if, say, You Ruhui's ability to explore the earth veins could be used to some extent in the Tianyuan Realm... wouldn't that be a huge profit?
"Yes!" And You Ruhui did not hesitate. Now she fully understood her situation - when the Xuanjiawei had already confirmed that she was in Kanming City, if she still forced herself to hide in this city, Dachen might really do something like razing the entire city to find her.

She already felt guilty towards those who were involved. If Kanming City was destroyed because of her... she might not be able to find a reason to survive.

"So, you are..."

Without any hesitation, An Jing carried Aunt Huai, who had listened to everything and had a look of realization on her face, on her back, and after asking You Ruhui to grant him the ability to escape underground, the two of them prepared to leave the city at full speed.

"what?"

It was at this time that An Jing smelled a familiar medicinal scent on Aunt Huai. He tilted his head and thought hard, "What is this smell? It feels so familiar..."

But soon, he realized, "Wait, is this the smell of medicine from Xuanming Manor... the master of Medicine Manor?!"

Before An Jing could fully sort out his thoughts, suddenly...

A brilliant golden light rose from the corner of Kanming City, hung in the sky, and then turned into a large octagonal mirror with a bright stone frame and jade base.

It was as if a huge sun was contained in the mirror, its brilliant heat illuminating the entire Kanming City, instantly suppressing all the evil spirits that were rising into the sky!
