Chapter 111
Chapter 111 - Stalemate?
When Imperial Consort Yun woke up, she tightly held onto the emperor's hand and asked anxiously, “Your Majesty, where is that thing? What about that thing? ‘Am I dreaming? ‘ This is not real… Quick, quickly call Yi'er over! “
“Don't worry, it is just a little trick to harm others, how can I take it seriously?” It can't hurt people. ” The Emperor wiped away the tears on Imperial Consort Yun's face as she was uncertain about the situation.
The current people believed in the gods and gods, the emperor was not immune to this. In addition, there were many historical records of this kind of case. Although one could not tell whether it was true or false, it was enough to make one flustered.
“It's fine. I've invited the Hidden Cloud Mage over. Yi'er, I've asked him as well. He's still in the family, so don't scare yourself.”
“No, let him enter the palace. I don't see any unease in his heart. Not only that, I have to invite the Hidden Cloud Mage. It's said that Taoist Xu Kong is also proficient in this path, so why don't you invite him along?”
“Alright, alright, I'll do as you say.” Looking at Imperial Consort Yun's haggard and anxious face, the makeup on her face was also blurred with tears. His hair was messy and he looked to have aged a few years, but he could not help but feel that this Imperial Consort Yun was his true love.
When the emperor saw that she had calmed down, he ordered someone to bring some food in. “Eat something quickly. Don't make it easy for Yi'er. You will collapse first. He will be worried for nothing.”
When it came to the matter of his own son, the Imperial Consort Yun would always be more concerned about it. However, he would always be concerned about it, and would not be able to swallow it after a few bites.
This was clearly not the case, even if she wanted the life of Concubine Yang's mother and son, she couldn't possibly take her son's life as a joke.
Imperial Consort Yun was ruthless. No matter who it was, if she found out about this, she would definitely exterminate his entire clan!
When she thought of how someone dared to set their sights on the First Prince and even use such a malicious tactic, Imperial Consort Yun was filled with rage.
She had completely forgotten that she came up with this idea.
Initially, she only wanted to trick the Concubine Yang so that she could hide in there and wait for the Concubine Yang to confidently report that there was something evil inside the Bedroom Hall. But when the time came, the Emperor would send people to search for her and she would strike it down, she had already arranged for someone to put that thing under Concubine Yang's bed.
Furthermore, for the safety of the emperor, she specially forbade him from using the word ‘birth'. When the time came, it could be said that the Concubine Yang wrote wrongly.
Who knew that the bodyguards would actually dig out that thing in her courtyard, and actually dare to lay their hands on her son? It might even be the Concubine Yang's doing!
“Your Majesty, that slut …” How is Concubine Yang? You cannot be biased. You must seek justice for Yi'er! “
The emperor sighed, “I ordered someone to put her in prison. I will deal with her after the matter is investigated. Don't worry, I will absolutely not tolerate anyone attacking my son! No matter who it is, it's not allowed! “
The emperor purposely increased the volume of his last sentence as he stared at Imperial Consort Yun heavily.
The Imperial Consort Yun knew that he was using this as an opportunity to warn him. It looks like the Emperor has already determined that Teng Yu's matter was done by her.
There was no point in speaking any further. Imperial Consort Yun turned her head with a sorrowful expression, only when the news of the First Prince's arrival reached her did she barely lift her spirits, “Quick, bring him in!”
Teng Yu followed Yin Xu and walked on the mountain road for an entire day. The two of them had strong martial arts, so they did not feel tired walking on this road.
However, when he saw Yin Xu wandering aimlessly on the mountain road, not even picking a single herb for the entire day, he felt that his guess was right.
It was fortunate that he had followed them, otherwise who knew what big secret he would have missed.
Yin Xu stopped walking, and Teng Yu, who was behind, almost bumped into him. He turned his head and laughed: “Why are you following me so closely? Are you afraid that I'll lose it? “
Teng Yu nodded his head seriously: “The terrain of this mountain is very complicated, and we are walking blindly. We have no direction long ago, if we go our separate ways, it would really be difficult to find people.”
Yin Xu tapped him on the chest, and joked: “Don't worry, you can smell it even with your nose, which is even sharper than a dog's.”
Teng Yu grabbed his hand, placed it under his nose and took a deep breath, “This distance is the only way, when I'm far enough I can only smell the smell of the mountain.”
Yin Xu withdrew his hand that he had taken advantage of, “Then it doesn't matter, there's still me. “Is that so?”
He picked a dried up grass from under a nearby tree and poured it into the Demonic Qi, kneading it into a powder shape. Afterwards, he casually let Teng Yu's body sprinkle it all over, and clapped: “This way we will be absolutely safe!”
Teng Yu lifted his arm to smell it, and discovered that there was only a very faint scent of grass, and it was even a very ordinary weed, so he was certain that the other party was teasing him!
He suddenly pulled Yin Xu closer and kissed his face and neck, leaving a trail of wet saliva as he boasted complacently, “It's better to let the smell of this hall stain your body.”
The corner of Yin Xu's mouth twitched, he wiped off the saliva on his body with his sleeve and looked at Yue Yang speechlessly.
Teng Yu whistled, raising his head and looking at the sky through the branches, “It's getting late, let's find a place to rest.”
The two of them didn't bring anything when they went out. If it wasn't for the fire piston and dagger that Teng Yu carried around all year round, they would have even had a problem eating.
In Yin Xu's opinion, even if he didn't eat for three days, he would still die from starvation. There were still some unwithered fruits on the way, if he really couldn't handle it, he might as well drink fresh blood and eat raw meat.
The two of them had a natural gap in understanding between them, but fortunately, the two of them had never quarreled. Whenever there was a difference between them, Yin Xu would automatically hypnotize himself: We are Demon Generals, we cannot lower ourselves to the same level as mortals! Teng Yu told himself: I don't even know what era this person came from, it's normal for him to not know anything.
Furthermore, he had always regarded himself as the man in charge, so he had always warned himself in his heart to let Yin Xu go.
Teng Yu found a cave that had been abandoned by a pack of wolves, cleaned up a little, and barely passed the night.
When he came out of the cave, he saw Yin Xu busily working at the entrance. When he got closer, he saw Yin Xu on the ground, fiddling with the jade stone.
Yin Xu had a bag that was specially used to store jade, and it almost did not leave his side. If he had carefully inspected it, he would have recognized these once priceless treasures, but unfortunately, they had shattered into pieces in Yin Xu's hands. He did not know how he had hardened his heart to take these treasures.
“Is this the formation you spoke of?” Teng Yu asked curiously.
Yin Xu arranged the jade at various positions, and without raising his head, he said: “Hmm, it's just the simplest of magic arrays, making it impossible to see through from the outside.”
“Is it really that magical?” Teng Yu had also read about some examples of formations in the military books, it seemed that there was a strategist in the previous dynasty who was proficient in this way, it was said that the formation he laid could kill anyone without a trace, but later on it was taboo, and he was burned to death due to a crime.
He had always thought that those stories were exaggerated. Otherwise, how could he not have heard of such a miraculous thing after living for more than ten years?
However, ever since he had met Yin Xu, he had broken through many deep-rooted beliefs, and he did not lack this one.
Yin Xu put away the jade in the last seat, then stood up and raised his eyebrows at Teng Yu: “If you don't believe me, you can go out and try yourself.”
Teng Yu's curiosity was piqued, he carried his prey and walked out more than ten meters, and turned back, his eyes revealing a look of shock.
Logically speaking, since he had only walked out this far, he should be able to clearly see the location of the cave, but right now, all he could see were the trees and walls, there was no cave entrance at all, and even Yin Xu had disappeared.
Resisting the agitation in his chest, he first went to clean up the prey and then picked up a bundle of firewood before slowly walking back.
When he was about to reach the cave entrance, he stopped his footsteps, tentatively picked up a rock, and threw it over. The rock suddenly disappeared from his sight, and Teng Yu finally believed that this so-called maze was real.
He walked forward step by step, constantly paying attention to the changes in his surroundings. The moment he stepped into the formation, the surrounding environment suddenly changed. It was no longer a forest or a mountain cliff, but a white mist.
The visibility was less than a meter, so Teng Yu closed his eyes and directly avoided looking at the scenery, walking towards the front.
Everyone who had gotten lost on the mountain knew that sometimes, it felt more reliable than one's eyes. After walking for about twenty steps, Teng Yu smashed into a wall with a loud thud.
He opened his eyes and saw that he had indeed hit the wall. Embarrassed, he touched his nose, which was hurting, and turned around to look around.
The cave entrance was still the same. The surroundings were exactly the same as before. He asked hoarsely, “How did you do that?”
“The Five Elements Eight Trigrams, Four Symbols Formation. The mysteries within are not something that can be easily explained with just a few words. If you're interested, I can teach you a few simple things.”
Of course, Teng Yu would not reject such a good thing. He built a fire at the entrance of the cave, and roasted the clean prey on the fire, while observing the array.
To be honest, it was just a few pieces of jade that were casually placed on the ground. He didn't expect it to have this kind of effect.
“Earlier, you said that you wanted to set up a formation in the manor. Just make your move, I'll think of a way if you don't have enough jade.” With this formation, why would he need to worry about defense?
The mansion is filled with people, it's not suitable for laying down a maze or killing array. Furthermore, the entire mansion's perimeter is too large, the spirit energy contained inside the jade stone cannot sustain it at all, at most, it can set up a small scale killing array outside the Scenic Garden.
“You decide this, since the Third Prince is now yours.” Teng Yu turned the roasted meat over and over on the fire, using his dagger to cut a few cracks and sprinkle some salt on it. He did not bring the other seasonings, and could only eat it.
Yin Xu had only chewed on a single hind leg of meat, and it was probably because he had eaten too much barbecue these past few days. He was a little sick of it, causing Teng Yu to glare at him angrily.
Yin Xu glanced at him, grunted, and then sat down to meditate.
This mountain was very cold at night. Other than the big hands on them, the two of them didn't bring anything else to protect themselves from the cold. Last night, the two of them slept with each other and didn't forget to operate their martial arts, which was why they were able to resist the cold.
However, Yin Xu said that they could cultivate both of them at once, that was the true way to defend against the cold.
A wind blew into the cave, Teng Yu went out to cut down a few large trees to block the cave entrance, making the inside of the cave much warmer.
Yin Xu sat beside Teng Yu, propping him on the shoulder, “We ran out just like that, when we go back, won't the Emperor be angry?”
Teng Yu reached out his arms and hugged his tightly, then followed along his lips to kiss his, and his slightly cold lips quickly became hot under their two's intimacy.
Yin Xu didn't care about the issue just now as he crossed his legs and stuck close to Teng Yu.
After the two of them had separated while panting, Teng Yu then replied in a low voice: “So what if I'm angry? At worst you can just go back and get scolded, and he probably doesn't have time to think about this prince right now. “
Yin Xu knew something was up the moment he heard him, “Did something happen in the palace?”
Teng Yu shook his head, “You don't need to worry about that, tell me what you are looking for in the mountain first.”
If Yin Xu's curiosity was not satisfied, he replied his at the same time, “You don't have to care about this, just follow me if you want to.”
Teng Yu gnashed his teeth in anger, his hands reached under his clothes and pinched the soft flesh on his waist. The two of them had been together for a short period of time, and he was only a step away from reaching his goal.
Yin Xu dodged to avoid Teng Yu's harassment, bit his lips, not wanting him to make a sound, this body really did not have any good points, even if it was weak, it was still ticklish.
“You … “Let go!” Yin Xu's face was boiling hot, he glared at Teng Yu.
Teng Yu stopped moving but did not take his hand out. Instead, he stuck close to his ear and said: “It's soft, really comfortable.”
If Yin Xu was a woman, he would definitely scold him with one word: “Rogue!” Unfortunately, not only was he not a woman, he was also a man without shame. Thus, the most direct reaction was to tear off Teng Yu's clothes, and heavily bit on his chest.
Teng Yu's body stiffened as he was bitten into his sensitive parts. Even his breathing became rapid, and he could not help but hold on tighter.
“Is it cold?” Teng Yu asked.
“It's okay, you're warm.” Yin Xu's own body was ice-cold all year round, and because his body was that of a mortal, he was always afraid of the cold.
“There's a warmer way, or?”
Yin Xu laughed and thought that he was talking about that kind of thing. He became even more excited and started to pull at Teng Yu's clothes, “Come on, who's afraid of who?”
Teng Yu did not stay idle either. He waited for the two to wrap themselves completely naked under their big command before stopping. Their gazes met, and at the same time, they glared at each other, unwilling to lose.
“Yin Xu, look at how we have been stuck in a stalemate the entire time.
Yin Xu nodded.
“Look at our ages, our height, our physical strength. No matter how you look at it, I'm still better than you, right?”
Yin Xu nodded unwillingly.
Teng Yu was happy, seeing that there was a door, he immediately added: “Since that is the case, why not take a step back?
Yin Xu snorted, he shook his head, refusing to budge at all. This was a matter that involved the dignity of a man, and one that could not be compromised.
Teng Yu retracted his smile, thought for a while, and chose to compromise, “Then, let's make an agreement on a time limit, wait for you to achieve the championship, we still have not decided on the victor, then…”
“So what?”
“Then let's do it once per person!” The moment Teng Yu's words fell, Yin Xu burst out laughing, but this method was not bad, he was worried that Teng Yu's body would be injured because of him taking too much nourishment.
Once per person… It could be considered fair, but in their hearts, both of them secretly made up their minds. They had to work hard these past few years and absolutely not lose. The draw was already the bottom line that they could accept.
“Alright!” The two of them struck their palms together as an oath. Yin Xu peacefully hid in Teng Yu's embrace, his skin that was not obstructed did indeed feel warmer. Yin Xu closed his eyes in this intimate position, the Demonic Qi in his body automatically started to circulate according to the route of his daily cultivation.
During this period of time, he clearly felt that his Devilish Exercise had slowed down. This was not a good sign, but after thinking about his current cultivation time, he understood the reason.
In his previous life, he was known as a genius not only because of his special physique and tyrannical cultivation technique, but also because of his success and hard work. After all, not everyone could be like him.
The person in his arms was getting colder and colder, and he had no choice but to circulate his Flame Yang Spell to support himself.
However, after a few days, the two of them clearly discovered that this kind of training method actually progressed much faster than when they were cultivating alone. Thus, the two of them were even more reluctant to part at night.
Teng Yu sighed: I still haven't started to dual cultivate yet, I really wonder if my double cultivate is able to increase my cultivation by leaps and bounds, I'm really looking forward to it.
