Film and TV: Traveling through countless worlds at the same time

Mu Qing was finally surprised this time: "This scholar is so brave, he actually dared to kill someone in the 5.5 palace. He's quite impressive, but isn't he a little stupid? My sister probably wouldn't like such a person."

The man was at a loss for words: "Your Highness, now is not the time to think about these things. Although the princess didn't kill the man, she did take him away. If His Majesty takes his anger out on the princess, it would be disastrous."

Mu Qing said unconvincedly, "Your Majesty, please be reasonable. It wasn't my sister who killed the man, so why blame her? But you do have a point, Old Wei."

A general behind him heard this and immediately responded: "I'm here."

"Let's go and take a look. If what he just said really comes true, I can go and plead with His Majesty right away. After all, I'm a prince, so His Majesty should give me some face."

When people around heard this, they subconsciously thought: "You really don't have as much face as your sister."

But Old Wei still said immediately: "Yes, Your Majesty..."

Chapter 320: Imperial Guards Block the Road

Inside the palace.

Because Tingsheng was too weak, Lu Xiao did not walk very fast.

Along the way, they encountered several waves of imperial guards who came to stop them, but their numbers were not large.

Each team only had about 10 to 20 people, so it was easy to deal with.

However, because they were both born in the military, Lu Xiao did not kill these ordinary soldiers directly.

Their duty is to protect the palace, so they can't be blamed.

Walking slowly, I soon passed through the harem and arrived at the front court.

At this time, the square in front of the only passage leading to Yingfeng Tower was already densely packed with imperial guards.

As for the leading general, it was naturally the Imperial Guards Commander Meng Zhi.

The Jinling City Imperial Guards numbered a total of 30,000.

There are at least 10,000 people stationed in the palace on a daily basis.

By now, more than half of the ten thousand people had arrived.

This scene is indeed quite big.

It's really unjustifiable to dispatch so many imperial guards just to stop one person.

But Emperor Liang was just that kind of person; he valued his own reputation above all else.

After hearing that several waves of imperial guards had failed to stop Lu Xiao, 09 immediately assembled the imperial guards on the road that Lu Xiao had to take to leave the palace.

Lu Xiao had walked all the way here in a very open and aboveboard manner, so it was easy to guess his destination.

After seeing Lu Xiao appear, Meng Zhi did not directly order the imperial guards to move out, but instead walked towards Lu Xiao alone, shouting and scolding him as he walked.

"You bold lunatic, why don't you surrender!"

While he was speaking, he had already stopped in front of Lu Xiao.

Only then did he whisper, "It's you, after all. Twelve years, a full twelve years, and you've finally returned."

Seeing his old friend, Lu Xiao couldn't help but sigh, "Yes, we're finally back."

Meng Zhi said, "I saw him before at the Ningguo Marquis' Mansion, and now I've met you again. Although both of you are now completely unrecognizable and your appearances have changed drastically, I still recognized you at first sight. You shouldn't have come back."

Lu Xiao laughed and said, "You know me. I'm a man who will never let go of my grudges."

Meng Zhi shook his head slightly, a look of disappointment on his face. "If you want revenge, then why did you do such an impulsive thing? Is it worth it for this child? His Majesty, several princes, and many important officials are watching from the city walls right now. Even if I wanted to help, I couldn't."

Hearing this, Lu Xiao raised his eyes and looked into the distance.

At this moment, more than 300 meters away from the two of them, many people were standing on the palace gate wall, watching.

Emperor Liang was surrounded by everyone.

Standing on either side of him were the Crown Prince and Prince Yu.

This welcoming ceremony is very grand.

At the same time, Emperor Liang said angrily on the city wall.

"What is Meng Zhi and that guy talking about? Is it really that difficult to just capture him?"

Prince Yu, standing nearby, laughed upon hearing this and said, "Father, although General Meng is the commander-in-chief of the Imperial Guards, he's also a somewhat mediocre martial artist. As the second-most skilled martial artist on the Langya List, he might be thinking of personally apprehending the thief. After all, his skills are quite remarkable."

Although Emperor Liang did not know martial arts, he did have some understanding of the people in the martial arts world.

Especially when it comes to Meng Zhi's character, he is even more clear.

I know he's a martial arts fanatic and he loves to spar with others.

So after hearing Prince Yu's words, he said, "Alas, matters involving warriors are always troublesome. Well, that lunatic can't escape anyway, so let Meng Zhi have some fun."

Emperor Liang still had great trust in Meng Zhi; otherwise, he wouldn't have given him the responsibility of commanding the Imperial Guards.

Now let's look at Lu Xiao's side.

After confirming that Emperor Liang was on the distant city wall, Lu Xiao suddenly smiled happily.

"That's convenient. It saves me from going out of my way to look for him."

Meng Zhi was very anxious at this moment: "You are still laughing, I am asking you a question, just for such a child you don't even know, is it worth it?"

As he spoke, he glanced at Tingsheng who was following Lu Xiao.

At this moment, Tingsheng no longer had the timid look he had before. After seeing the look Meng Zhi gave him, there was no fear on his face.

When he saw Tingsheng's eyes, Meng Zhi was suddenly distracted.

At this time, Lu Xiao said: "It's worth it, Brother Meng, can't you tell whose child he is?"

With such a straightforward reminder, coupled with Tingsheng's familiar eyes, the wise yet foolish Meng Zhi immediately reacted.

"He is, is he, is he?"

His tone was filled with shock, but in the end he still didn't dare to pronounce the man's name.

Because he knew that once the child's background was exposed, Emperor Liang would definitely kill him at all costs.

However, Lu Xiao didn't care as much as him and spoke directly.

"That's right, Tingsheng is Brother Jingyu's child."

"How is that possible? All the male members of Prince Qi's mansion were executed, and the female members were thrown into the Yeyou Court. Anyone with a bit of status was also forced to death within the next year. Given His Majesty's character, he would definitely not leave anyone alive."

Meng Zhi still found it a little unbelievable.

Lu Xiao said, "I don't know the details of this, but Tingsheng's age is right, and Prince Jing is very fond of him. Most importantly, his eyes are very similar to Brother Jingyu's. Although I don't have any concrete evidence, I think it's probably true."

Speaking of Prince Jing, he was also standing on the distant city wall at this moment.

However, unlike Prince Yu and the Crown Prince, he was surrounded by a number of imperial guards, so it was obvious that he had not gone up there voluntarily.

Another person who was in a similar situation to him was Nihuang.

Lu Xiao continued, "Sister-in-law Princess 133 is intelligent and decisive, and Sister Xiutong is unparalleled in her bravery. They are both female heroes who are no less than men. In those chaotic times, with their abilities, it's not impossible for them to risk their lives to protect a bit of Brother Jingyu's bloodline and hide it in the Yeyou Court. If we were to force proof of this, it's actually quite simple and not a difficult task. So all I have to do now is get him out."

After hearing this, Meng Zhi immediately said, "Take her out! How can you take her out? I have eight thousand imperial guards behind me, and there are nearly a thousand archers on the surrounding city walls. Tell me, how are you going to get this child out? Can you actually grow wings and fly away?"

"Oh, why don't you be patient for a moment and discuss with Xiao Shu whether you can die? With his intelligence, he will definitely be able to come up with a perfect way to rescue this child. Now it's too late. His Majesty will definitely not let you go today."

"Xiaozhi, where are the Jiangzuo League experts around you? Did they come in with you? If that doesn't work, I'll try to find a way to make a small flaw in the Imperial Guards' formation. If the people around you are strong enough, they might be able to take you and the child and escape."

Meng Zhi was very panicked at the moment, so he spoke out whatever came to his mind.

After hearing this, Lu Xiao smiled and said, "Brother Meng, you are now the commander-in-chief of the Imperial Guards and hold great favor. If you help me like this, you will destroy the Meng family's reputation for loyalty and righteousness."

Chapter 321 Give the World a Little Shock

After hearing Lu Xiao's words, Meng Zhi spoke without hesitation.

"Loyalty lies in the heart. I still don't believe that Prince Qi and the Red Flame Army would rebel. Back then, I didn't have the ability, so I couldn't help you. Now I have the ability. Even if I die, I will find a way to protect you. If that doesn't work, the worst that can happen is that we will die together. There is nothing to be afraid of."

As expected of Meng Zhi, there are not many people in the Daliang court who still firmly believe that Prince Qi and the Red Flame Army are a dream.

To be honest, Lu Xiao was very moved after hearing this.

However, he certainly wouldn't let Meng Zhi take the risk, because there was no need.

After twenty-seven years of rebirth, it's time to give the world a little shock.

So he smiled and said, "It's okay. If I wasn't sure, I wouldn't do it."

Meng Zhi certainly didn't believe it, so he said angrily: "Be sure, what are you sure of? Let me see."

Lu Xiao lowered his head and said to Tingsheng.

"Are you scared?"

Tingsheng shook his head: "I'm not afraid."

Rather than being afraid, he felt more confused.

Confused about my own life experience.

Tingsheng was very intelligent. A convicted slave who grew up in Yeyou Court, yet he secretly learned to read and write, you could tell how extraordinary he was.

After all, there is absolutely no hope in a place like this.

But even so, Tingsheng, who was only eleven years old, still did not give up on himself.

This is particularly valuable.

So, through the conversation between Lu Xiao and Yi Qi, he already knew that his life story was definitely unusual.

Jingyu?

This must be his father's name.

According to Meng Zhi, his father is still some Prince Qi.

Prince Qi and Prince Jing, as soon as I heard them, I felt like they were brothers.

No wonder Prince Jing always took care of himself before.

This means that the current emperor should be his grandfather.

Then why did he grow up in Yeyouting?

That's right, I'm a criminal slave, so my father must have committed some crime that angered my grandfather.

That's why my grandfather killed my father's entire family.

That is, my whole family.

Thinking of this, Xiao Tingsheng felt an inexplicable pain in his heart.

He didn't know where he came from, so he was very confused.

Now that he knew this, he was even more confused.

Why did grandpa kill my father's entire family?

What kind of deep hatred could make a father be so cruel to his son?

Although Lu Xiao knew that this information was indeed a bit heavy for Tingsheng, who was only eleven years old.

But he felt that Tingsheng would be able to bear it.

This is not because he is the child of Prince Qi, but because he grew up in Yeyou Court.

Children who grow up in such a place must have intelligence far superior to that of ordinary people.

In addition, Lu Xiao also felt that although Tingsheng was young, he had the right to know these things.

If a person doesn't even know where his roots are, then he is truly pitiful.

As for how Tingsheng will handle this relationship in the future, that is Tingsheng's own business.

No one else has the right to make choices for him.

After hearing what was said in court, Lu Xiao smiled and said.

"It's good that you're not afraid. Then I'll take you flying out~..."

Fly out?

When these three words came out, both Tingsheng and Mengzhi were stunned.

But the next moment, Lu Xiao's body began to slowly float into the air, and as for Tingsheng, he was lifted up by his true energy.

After seeing this scene, Meng Zhi was completely dumbfounded and subconsciously said: "Brother, you really have wings!"
