Chapter 209 Conflict
Tianshou Mountain.

Lu Xiangqing and others were surrounding Lu Lin'er and walking towards the Taizu Emperor's Mausoleum, constantly observing the surrounding environment.

Intelligence from the Jinyiwei continued to gather from all around.

"Reporting to the Queen, we are searching the northern foothills of Tianshou Mountain, but have not found anything unusual so far!"

"Reporting to the Queen, we are searching the Holy Maiden Peak of Tianshou Mountain. We suspect that a magical herb has been found, and we have sent people to guard it!"

"Reporting to the Queen, a Taoist priest was stopped at the foot of Nanshan Mountain and left."

"Replying to the Queen, the Martial Arts Division's Master Zhao Suling is on his way..."

The group slowly walked up the mountain. Lu Xiangqing looked around and said, "I haven't been to Tianshou Mountain for several years."

"I didn't expect it to become like this..."

Lu Lin'er also nodded and said, "Yes, Lord Lu, I remember that I used to come here to worship my ancestors every year. I haven't been here for several years. I don't know what happened on the mountain."

"Don't worry, your majesty. I have already sent people to investigate. The incident at Tianshou Mountain concerns the ancestors of Dayu. We must not allow any accidents to happen."

Lu Lin'er said worriedly: "But... His Majesty has designated this place as a forbidden area. If we enter without permission, wouldn't that be..."

"Don't worry, madam."

Lu Xiangqing said: "Your Majesty is kind to others. Besides, we are doing this for the safety of Dayu and our ancestors. I'm sure Your Majesty will not blame us."

"Besides, if we can find out what happened at Tianshou Mountain and find some spiritual objects, it will be a great achievement."

"Your Majesty will not blame you, but will be delighted and will offer you a reward."

"really?"

Lu Lin'er's eyes lit up slightly. She did all this just to make Zheng Yi pay attention to her.

As a queen, she is not completely ignorant and can be a good wife and mother.

Since Your Majesty wants to cultivate immortality, then just do it peacefully. She can also take control of the affairs of the harem.

I will definitely manage everything in an orderly manner for Your Majesty!
Not long after, when Lu Lin'er's team reached the halfway point of the mountain, two people who looked like servants ran down quickly.

"Your Excellency... Her Majesty the Queen!"

"Lu Xing?"

Lu Xiangqing said: "That is the servant sent by this old minister. It seems that he has made a discovery."

The servant hurried over, knelt on the ground and said in panic: "Sir!"

"What did you find out? Why are you so flustered? How can this be so disgraceful?"

"My lord, it's bad! We were stopped at the mountain pass by a group of people. They said that no one is allowed to go up the mountain without the order of His Majesty!"

"Ok?"

Lu Xiangqing frowned and said, "Didn't you mention that the Queen and all the adults are here?"

"I mentioned it, but the people above said that they only recognize His Majesty's handwritten orders or tokens. This..."

"Come with me and take a look!"

The group moved forward quickly and soon arrived at a checkpoint.

As expected, this is a cliff halfway up the mountain. There is a checkpoint at the must-pass point, guarded by dozens of imperial guards.

"We pay our respects to Her Majesty the Queen and all the ministers!"

Seeing Lu Lin'er and others coming, the imperial guards guarding the checkpoint had to come out to pay their respects.

"Ah."

Lu Lin'er raised her chin and said, "There has been some unusual movement at Tianshou Mountain. I am going to take all the cabinet ministers to the mountain to check it out. Please let them go immediately!"

The leading imperial guard captain gritted his teeth and said, "Please bear the punishment, Queen."

"Your Majesty has issued a strict order that no one is allowed to go up the mountain without your order. I hope Your Majesty will understand this."

"Oh? Not even me?"

"Yes……"

"Be bold!"

Lu Xiangqing frowned and said, "It's urgent. Your Majesty is in seclusion now and can't come in person, nor can he issue a written order."

"Now that strange phenomena have occurred in Tianshou Mountain, this place is the tomb of our ancestors of Dayu. It is related to the country and the people. Why don't you evacuate quickly!"

The Imperial Guard Captain's expression suddenly changed, and he subconsciously took a step back. But then he thought of something, and then he still said with a stiff upper lip:
"Please forgive me, Lord Lu. We are just following your orders."

"Without His Majesty's order or token, no one is allowed to go up the mountain!"

"you……"

"Lord Lu..."

Lu Lin'er suddenly spoke up to stop Lu Xiangqing, and took out a jade token from her waist and said, "I wonder if this token in my hand counts?"

"This……"

The captain of the imperial guards hesitated for a moment, then secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Of course, the Queen's Phoenix Card is fine. Please move up the mountain."

"Humph!"

Lu Xiangqing snorted coldly and was about to lead his men up the mountain.

"stop……!"

Suddenly, a sinister and cold shout came from a distance.

Everyone looked up subconsciously, and saw two people standing facing the wind on a tall protruding rock on the mountain.

Everyone was familiar with one of them, Chen Liancang, an old eunuch in the palace.

Rumor has it that he controls the most powerful death squad organization of the Dayu royal family, the Shadow Guard.

Deeply trusted by His Majesty.

And the other person... was actually a cold woman wearing black clothes with fluttering sleeves.

"Chen Liancang!"

Lu Xiangqing frowned and asked, "What are you waiting for?"

"We came here today with the Queen to find out what kind of changes have occurred in Tianshou Mountain. Why did you try to stop it?"

Chen Lian said calmly: "This place is a forbidden place as stated by His Majesty himself. No one is allowed to approach!" "Not even the Queen and the others can enter!"

"Ok?"

Lu Xiangqing frowned and said, "Your Majesty is in seclusion now and cannot come out. We have to resort to this last resort for the sake of our country..."

"Since His Majesty is in seclusion, let's wait for His Majesty to come out!"

Chen Liancang did not give them any face at all and said, "Please return to the capital, Queen and the others. This is not the place for you to come."

"presumptuous!"

Seeing her grandfather being humiliated, Lu Lin'er immediately said, "You are just my royal servant, how dare you disobey my order?"

"Quickly get out of the way, or don't blame me..."

Chen Liancang said coldly: "This old servant only listens to your majesty, please forgive me, Queen."

"Without your majesty's order, no one is allowed to go up the mountain, otherwise don't blame me for taking action."

"Do it?"

Lu Lin'er laughed in anger and said, "I want to see if you, a slave, dare to attack me!"

After saying that, Lu Lin'er walked forward slowly. The many imperial guards blocking the checkpoint did not dare to stop her and could only keep retreating.

Seeing this, Lu Xiangqing and others quickly followed, leaving only Wang Anshi, Yuan Qichang and others left there, looking at each other in bewilderment.

"Empress, you..."

"Qiang...!"

Suddenly, a shrill dragon roar sounded from mid-air, and a gray-white sword light appeared in mid-air.

Xuanjizi had a cold expression on his face. He made a gesture with one hand and pointed down the mountain.

In an instant, the surroundings were filled with cold air, and the flying swords immediately slashed down towards everyone!

Chen Liancang, who was standing by, was startled and quickly shouted, "Senior, stop it!"

"Wow...!"

In an instant, a gray-yellow light surged out from his body and turned into a large banner. It swelled in the wind and in an instant turned into a giant dragon, entwining itself around the flying sword.

But even so, the speed of the flying sword was not slow, and the big flag could only be pulled to the side with all its strength.

There was a "boom"!
The flying sword, carrying the large banner, smashed heavily into the nearby mountain wall, creating a huge hole. Countless pieces of stone mixed with stone foam flew everywhere, covering many ministers, eunuchs, and imperial guards.

"Ah...my face!"

"It hurts! It hurts!"

"Immortal! It's an immortal!"

"Protect the Queen!"

“Quick, retreat…!”

The entire team immediately fell into panic. Many imperial guards quickly stood in front of the queen and several cabinet ministers, looking up at the woman on the boulder in panic.

Many of them were hit by the rubble, and were covered in injuries and shocked.

Even Queen Lu Lin'er collapsed to the ground with her face covered, and was quickly helped up by two maids.

On the contrary, Wang Anshi and others who did not move behind did not suffer any injuries.

Fairy!

He is indeed an immortal!
There really are immortals in this world!
Could it be that what Your Majesty has built is real...? !

They had previously thought that His Majesty's cultivation of immortality was just a joke.

I didn't expect this woman to suddenly appear...

"Humph!"

Xuanjizi snorted coldly again, and after being hit hard, the flying sword suddenly flew out, drew a circle in the air, and stopped steadily in front of her.

She glanced at Chen Liancang with dissatisfaction, then glanced at the gray-yellow banner that Chen Liancang had summoned, frowned, and asked hesitantly, "Yellow Spring Soul-Calling Banner?"

Chen Liancang was terrified and said, "Senior really has good eyesight..."

"Senior! This is the capital of Dayu, and all of you are the backbone of the Dayu court, not ordinary mortals. Please think twice..."

Xuanjizi sneered and said, "The right-hand man of the Great Yu court? He is just a mortal. How dare he disobey the orders of cultivators like us?"

"Don't listen? Why don't you just kill one group and replace them with another?"

Chen Liancang smiled bitterly and said, "Senior, if you really killed these ministers, I'm sure His Majesty would blame you..."

"That kid... humph!"

Xuanjizi's beautiful eyes changed, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Ten years, I will endure for another ten years!"

Then he took a step forward, stepped on the boulder and said condescendingly: "I am in a bad mood now!"

"Since the little emperor said that this is a forbidden area and no one is allowed to enter, you should get out of here immediately. Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless with my flying sword!"

"If you want to go up the mountain, go find the little emperor, don't bother me!"

"If anyone still bothers me, it will be like this mountain...!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xuanjizi pointed the flying sword with one hand, and the flying sword turned into a sword light and flew out again.

It twisted and turned in an arc in the air, then slashed through another mountain wall.

"This is...!"

The harsh friction sound suddenly sounded, causing countless people to cover their ears subconsciously.

A large amount of rock debris flew everywhere, and in an instant a huge gully about ten inches deep and ten feet long appeared on the stone wall!
"you you……!"

Lu Lin'er, who was supported by a maid, had a trace of blood on her left cheek. She stared at Xuanjizi on the boulder with anger and fear. Her lips trembled, but she dared not say anything. She could only glare at Xuanjizi.

Facing the shocked, horrified, or hateful looks of Lu Lin'er and many ministers, Xuanjizi sneered, then turned around and left on his flying sword.

Chen Liancang bowed to the ministers at the foot of the mountain and said, "Ministers, please go down the mountain."

"This is not a place you can come to!"
