Chapter 190 Concerns
Although Lingyi's body had been in a deep sleep for a month, with the self-healing ability of the Holy Maiden's Mark and Long Er's huge consumption of magic power, Lingyi was able to recover about 50% of his previous strength in just one night.
It took three days for Lingyi to adjust his body to the best condition.
Inside the room, Lingyi sat cross-legged on the bed with his eyes closed in meditation. From time to time, a little red magic fluctuation surged around his body. As the sunlight outside the window quietly seeped into the room, Lingyi gradually ended his meditation.
When he opened his eyes, what caught his eye were Pegasus and Bao Bao. The two of them occupied Lingyi's thighs on the left and right. Lingyi shook his head, gently moved their heads, laid their bodies flat, rested his head on the pillow where he had slept before, and covered himself with the quilt again.
Looking at the lovely appearance of Bao Bao and Pegasus who were sleeping soundly, Lingyi stretched out his finger curiously and gently touched Pegasus' cheek. Pegasus impatiently pushed Lingyi's fingers away with his palm, turned around and threw himself into Bao Bao's arms, still making a "huhu" sound from his mouth, which did not seem to disturb him.
Bao Bao's ears were still erected vigilantly, but he did not wake up because of Ling Yi's actions. Instead, he let Ling Yi do whatever he wanted and did not wake up until the quilt was covered again. He just fell into a deep sleep.
Lingyi shook his head, turned around and walked out of the inner room without stopping. Just after passing the screen, he could see two women lying on the round table in the room. Xuela was sleeping soundly on the round table, and Xiaojiu was lighting a dim lamp beside him, flipping through a book in his hand, studying it seriously.
Seeing Lingyi coming out, he was about to stand up and say hello, but Lingyi stopped him with his hand. Lingyi put his finger on his lips, made a "hush" gesture, and hurried out of the room. Seeing this, Xiaojiu followed him out.
He opened the door and closed it again, doing so quietly as not to disturb anyone else.
Lingyi overlapped his palms, placed them behind his back, and looked up at the azure sky. Xiaojiu was behind Lingyi, watching him silently.
Lingyi nodded and said, "Maybe the time is about right."
"Don't you plan to say goodbye to everyone?" Xiaojiu asked.
Lingyi turned around and smiled, "It's not like I can't come back. Don't worry, it will be quick. How is the matter I asked you to do going?"
Xiao Jiu hesitated for a while, and said in a deep voice: "Just like Xiao Yi said, there are troops stationed at the four gates of the imperial city, east, west, south, and north, each twenty miles away, with a total of more than 100,000 soldiers. Doudou has sent a message that he has caught up with His Royal Highness the Second Prince and will be able to return to the imperial city tonight or tomorrow. Alice and Leo are also following up closely to ensure that everything goes well."
Lingyi nodded: "Really? That's good."
Seeing Lingyi's fearless look, Xiaojiu felt as if his heart was pierced by needles. He couldn't help but ask, "Really? You don't plan to..."
"No, the command here is left to you." After Lingyi said that, Xiaojiu nodded. Then Lingyi smiled with relief, turned around and walked out of the yard without looking back.
"Xiaoyi, be careful."
……
Lingyi walked quickly through the royal gardens, all the way to the main hall, and arrived at the main entrance of the Council Hall.
However, at this moment, a man was standing at the main entrance of the Council Hall. He was wearing a crimson robe and looked elegant, but he seemed to be a level lower than the emperor.
The man naturally noticed someone approaching, and immediately turned around, his eyes immediately falling on Lingyi. The man had a little resemblance to Emperor Feiren, but his face was long and thin, like a winter melon.
The man recognized Lingyi as soon as he saw him, and immediately clasped his hands in front of him and bowed: "Young Master Xue, I didn't expect you to come so soon."
The man in front of Lingyi was Emperor Firen's brother, Prince Fed of Andressa, but he did not look that old. Instead, he looked radiant, like a young man of the same age as himself.
But when Lingyi saw him, his eyes widened with anger, and he immediately changed from running fast to walking slowly, as if he was on guard against what Prince Feide would do: "Prince, there are no outsiders here, it's not appropriate for you and me to do this."
The prince suddenly laughed and said, "Hahahaha, what are you talking about, Young Master Xue? If it weren't for Young Master Xue's magic to turn the tide, how could I sleep soundly as before? I have wanted to come to your house to thank you many times, but I was afraid of disturbing Young Master Xue's rest, so I had no choice but to wait here."
The prince's unexpectedly polite words made Lingyi feel a little uncomfortable, but no matter how ferocious the monster standing in front of Lingyi was, it could not stop Lingyi from moving forward.
Lingyi didn't pay attention to the prince at the first time, and walked straight into the council hall: "When you say wait, do you mean simply waiting here for me to come and thank me?"
The prince stood up again, crossed his hands behind his back, and slowly turned his head, meeting Lingyi's gaze that was like a sharp blade. However, this pairing made Lingyi feel like there was an extra layer of shadow.
If Lingyi's eyes were as sharp as a sword, trying to cut through the shadow shrouding the royal family, then the prince's eyes were this endless darkness.
There was no sword-like sharpness in those eyes, but instead there was an abyss-like attraction, an attraction that could dissolve everything and swallow it all, just like a pitch-black abyss.
Ridiculous and ironic.
The prince's eyes were full of disdain for Lingyi, and just one look was enough to make Lingyi back off.
The prince suddenly laughed and said, "Young Master Xue, what are you talking about? I only have the purest gratitude towards you, but I dare not disturb you from recuperating, so I resorted to this desperate measure. If it causes resentment in you, then if I say even a single word of falsehood, there will be thunder from the sky..."
"No need, I don't believe this." Lingyi interrupted the prince without hesitation, turned around and walked straight into the council hall.
The prince looked at Lingyi's receding back, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he stretched out his right index finger and pinched his jaw line together with his thumb.
"Of course I have to thank you. As long as you enter the Holy Land, the world will be mine. Even if you come back then, I will have a backup plan to deal with you, Xueyan, oh no, I should call you... Lingyi."
……
After entering the Council Hall, the magnificent palace was dazzling, but Lingyi did not have the leisure and elegance to appreciate it. He came here only to verify one thing.
And right in front of him, as far as he could see, along the steps, was the first golden chair. The whole chair was golden in color, covered with red cushions, and was wide enough to seat at least two or three people. There was a golden lion carved on each of the armrests on the sides, and a lion head relief was also carved on the backrest behind the chair.
"Just as I expected, you will come here early in the morning within the next few days." The eldest prince's voice gradually sounded from one side. Looking at the source of the voice, the eldest prince, dressed in gorgeous clothes, had come to the left side of the seat, with his hands behind his back, standing on the high platform and looking at Lingyi.
Lingyi smiled when he saw the eldest prince and said, "How did you know I would come? And from your tone, you seemed to know that I would come in the morning."
After hearing Lingyi's question, the eldest prince laughed and said, "Such an obvious question, do you still need me to answer it? When the siblings attacked the palace, the entire palace was almost razed to the ground. Only the Council Hall remained impregnable. Of course, it has its secrets, a secret that only our royal family knows."
"The location of the Holy Land, right?" Lingyi answered confidently. "At that time, I saw that the protective shield of the Saint's Seal was protecting the Council Hall. At that moment, I was sure that the Holy Land was in the Council Hall. In other words, the portal to the Holy Land was in the Council Hall."
"It's just as you thought. The Holy Land of Andressa has always been our royal secret. It contains the greatest treasures of heaven and earth for thousands of years..." The eldest prince laughed, "However, I just learned from my mother a few days ago that the Holy Land was built just because of a legendary woman in the world to seal another legendary woman."
Lingyi did not bother to be polite with the eldest prince and walked up the steps slowly: "And the other legendary woman was the Saint who served under Emperor Feiren when he started the rebellion. Currently, the emperor's health is getting weaker and weaker, and only the Saint can heal the emperor. However, the Saint is trapped in the holy land and is sealed by the Saint's Mark. It cannot be easily broken. The only way to break it is to find someone who also has the Saint's Mark."
As he was talking, Lingyi had already walked in front of the eldest prince. Seeing Lingyi's resolute eyes, the eldest prince's eyes were full of worry. He was not only worried about Lingyi, but also worried about the health of his father, Emperor Andressa: "But the holy land has been closed, and it will be useless for you to go there now."
"Are you just going to give up on your father?" Lingyi questioned the eldest prince.
"I don't want you to never come back, don't you understand?" The eldest prince also questioned Lingyi, "I worry about my father's health every day, but he has become indifferent to it now. Yesterday he asked me to come to his bedside and asked me to take good care of you and give up the trip to the Holy Land. I have also tried to dissuade him, but he said that he is still a rotten dead tree, and it would be useless to continue his life. He only hopes that our descendants can live well."
The eldest prince became more and more excited, and even his eyes turned red. It can be seen that he still hoped that Lingyi would go to the Holy Land to find a way to save the emperor. But how could the emperor not know Lingyi's thoughts? He even issued an order in his capacity as emperor, ordering Lingyi not to interfere in the affairs of the Holy Land. If Lingyi went, it would be against the order.
Listening to the eldest prince's words, Lingyi seemed to understand a little bit of the reason, and asked tentatively: "Is there something wrong with the Holy Land?"
The eldest prince looked at Lingyi, and there was a hint of pleading in his eyes, as if telling Lingyi not to continue asking questions.
But Lingyi disagreed and reaffirmed: "I must go to the Holy Land, not only because of the emperor's business, but also because of the God Worship Cult."
Hearing the words "God Worship", the eldest prince's eyes widened: "How do you know that the God Worship has entered the Holy Land?"
When Lingyi saw the eldest prince's reaction, he immediately understood: "It seems that the God Worship Cult took advantage of the situation."
The eldest prince clenched his fists, lowered his head, and had an expression of uncontrollable anger on his face, but he was unable to vent.
"Let me guess what happened." Lingyi smiled, "A month before I fell into a coma, the God Worship Cult had already found a way to enter the Holy Land, and also closed the portal to the Holy Land from the inside, making it impossible for us to enter. At the same time, we also discovered that the army formed by the God Worship Cult members was crossing the border unimpeded and had already arrived outside the Imperial City."
Lingyi's words were like sharp blades, stabbing the eldest prince's heart, causing him to retreat again and again.
Lingyi was too aggressive to give up: "I said so, A Zheng."
The eldest prince looked at Lingyi who already knew everything, and no longer concealed it: "Now that you already know everything, why are you still confronting me? In the current situation, we must prevent internal and external attacks, but how can the imperial guards alone resist the magic army of the "God Worship" composed of adventurers who are members of the "God Worship"? "
"I have sent a pigeon to Ah Wu, but Ah Wu has not replied yet. Now you are the only one left in the Imperial City. You have done a miracle that no one can believe. You are now the support of the army and the people. You are the root of the army! We have also tried in the Holy Land, but we have been frustrated time and time again. Even if we can find a way to get in, no one has come back. If even you never come back, then the Imperial City..."
"A Zheng." Lingyi stretched out his hand, placed it on the eldest prince's shoulder, and said with a smile, "I have thought about all these."
"Huh?" The eldest prince looked at Lingyi in shock, unable to understand what Lingyi meant for a moment.
