Chapter 174: When in doubt, ask Chunfeng! [Subscribe]

From a distance, Lin Xuan could hear the horse's heavy breathing, like the sound of bellows in front of a stove.

The distance from Yangzhou to Kaifeng City is at least seven or eight hundred miles.

Wang Daosen ran day and night, which made the horse suffer.

……

"Commander Wang!"

At this moment, Wang Daosen was running fast in the palace with an anxious look on his face. When the guards saw him return, they all bowed their heads and saluted.

Wang Daosen was indifferent to this and ignored it completely.

Instead, he ran straight towards the Yangxin Palace.

What he is most worried about right now is his beloved daughter, Wang Mengdi.

She was kidnapped by the Black Fox Gang for two or three days, and now no one knows whether she is alive or dead?
Have you ever been abused or bullied?
When he thought of this, Wang Daosen's heart began to beat fast. He simply couldn't bear to think about it.

On the way back to Kaifeng City from Yangzhou, Wang Daosen felt guilty all the time.

If he had known this earlier, he would not have left the palace.

In this way, Meng Di would not be captured.

……

Outside the Yangxin Hall.

Eunuch Liu was waiting at the door so he could be ready to obey the emperor's orders at any time.

at this time.

A series of armor sounds were heard.

Eunuch Liu turned his head and saw Commander Wang running towards him in a hurry and with a panicked look on his face.

"Commander Wang, you're finally back!"

Eunuch Liu stepped forward to greet him.

"Eunuch Liu, what's the situation?" Wang Daosen asked anxiously.

Hearing this, Eunuch Liu made way and said:

"His Majesty has long ago ordered that if you come, just go in directly."

"Good work."

Wang Daosen thanked him and was about to push the door open.

A clear voice came over, causing him to pause:
"Wait a minute!"

Wang Daosen looked back and found that under the bright moonlight, a young man with a straight posture, sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes was walking slowly towards him.

Seeing Lin Xuan, Wang Daosen was slightly startled:
"Xuan...Hou Yonghou?"

Do not know why.

Lin Xuan gives him a very different feeling today.

He could not sense the rich and abundant true Qi in him as before.

Some are just a sense of returning to nature and transcendence.

Unable to help, an incredible thought suddenly arose in his mind, and he asked in surprise:

"You... you have achieved a breakthrough in the Spirit Refining Stage?"

"There's just one final step left." Lin Xuan said.

Hearing this, Wang Daosen's pupils shrank.

In this case, Lin Xuan is half a step into the realm of spiritual refining!
It had only been a few months since the incident of protecting the emperor in Kaifeng.

I didn't expect that after not seeing him for a few months, this child's cultivation had soared to this level!
It's really unbelievable!

It seems that his previous evaluation of it was still a bit low.

"Commander Wang, can I go in with you to see His Majesty?"

Lin Xuan took a step forward, came to Wang Daosen's side and said.

"Alright."

Wang Daosen nodded slightly.

In his opinion.

Lin Xuan's current strength is probably on par with Abbot Sanzang and Gong Jin.

If we can get his help in rescuing Meng Di, there will be great hope.

……

Inside the Yangxin Hall.

Emperor Zhao Ning was wearing a bright yellow cloak, leaning against the dragon throne, looking tired, and dozing off.

Soon, the footsteps of Lin Xuan and Wang Daosen sounded, waking him up.

"Greetings to Your Majesty!"

The two men stepped forward and saluted.

"My two beloved ministers, please stand up quickly."

"Commander Wang had to travel all the way back to Kaifeng from Yangzhou, but it was very hard."

"Come here, give Commander Wang and Marquis Xuan Yong a seat!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

As soon as Wang Daosen sat down, before he could even warm his butt, he stood up again and boldly asked Zhao Ning:

"Your Majesty, is there any progress regarding my daughter's matter?"

Hearing this, Zhao Ning said:

"Commander Wang, I am also extremely worried about Meng Di's capture, but this is a case of collusion between the inside and outside, and it is not easy to find out the truth."

"As far as I know, all the revelations so far point to Huang Qi, the forbidden scholar."

The words fell.

Wang Daosen's expression changed and he said in a lost voice:
"Huang Qi?"

"It's him!"

Seeing his expression, Zhao Ning said in a serious tone:

"How come Commander Wang knows this person?"

Wang Daosen sighed softly, his heart full of regret, he explained:
"To be honest with you, Your Majesty, I recruited this man into the Imperial Guard. He was originally a crossbowman in the Palace Front Department. When I saw that he was good at martial arts, I was attracted to his talent and asked him to be in charge of patrolling the Imperial Palace."

"I didn't expect that I would let a wolf into the house and commit this crime. I hope Your Majesty will punish me!"

Hearing this, Zhao Ning waved his hand and said:
"Being able to enter the Palace Front Department shows that this person has a clean background."

"It's not your fault."

The two finished talking.

The emperor's gaze fell on Lin Xuan:

"Marquis Xuanyong, Commander Wang has returned, so why hasn't the time you mentioned come yet?"

"It should be soon..."

Lin Xuan spoke calmly.

Seeing Lin Xuan so confident, Emperor Zhao Ning was somewhat skeptical.

In doubt.

Outside the hall, the thin and shrill voice of Eunuch Liu could be heard.

"Your Majesty, this is an urgent report from Governor Tang!"

"Send him in!"

Zhao Ning responded.

It was so late at night, and there was urgent news from Governor Tang, so it must be something serious.

Soon, Tang Fuyin came to the front of the hall in neat clothes.

After paying respects to His Majesty, he immediately pulled out a letter shot by an arrow from his bosom and said:
"Your Majesty, this is a message from the Black Fox Gang!"

Hear this.

Zhao Ning looked surprised:
"what?!"

"A message from the Black Fox Gang?!"

He looked at Lin Xuan in disbelief, then exchanged glances with Commander Wang, and then took the letter with a serious expression.

After opening the letter, Zhao Ning stared at the paper in his hand and quickly read it from beginning to end.

Suddenly.

Zhao Ning's face darkened and he said angrily:
"presumptuous!"

"This Black Fox King is so bold, he dares to ask me for something!"

"Your Majesty, what did the Black Fox King say in the letter?"

Seeing this, Tang Fuyin and Wang Tongling looked at each other and asked with gritted teeth.

"See for yourselves."

Zhao Ning threw the letter at the two of them in annoyance.

Prefect Tang took it hurriedly and immediately looked at it carefully.

At this time, Commander Wang also came over and looked.

But soon, both of them looked ugly and angry.

"Marquis Xuanyong, you can also take a look."

Seeing that Lin Xuan didn't move, Zhao Ning spoke.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Lin Xuan nodded.

He took the letter and read it from top to bottom.

Not long after, Lin Xuan frowned:
"The Blood-Weeping Shark Pearl, the Ten Thousand Years of Snow Saliva, the Crocodile Dragon's Shell, this..."

Lin Xuan was stunned.

He had never expected that the Black Fox King would ask for so much, in addition to the invisible veil! Lin Xuan had already seen the Blood-Crying Shark Pearl, the Ten Thousand Years Snow Saliva, the Crocodile Dragon Shell, and other items in the Book of Power, Volume 1.

It can be said to be a top-notch treasure in the world!
What does he need these things for?
To heal the wound, or to restore strength...

Suppressing his distracting thoughts, Lin Xuan spoke to Zhao Ning directly:
"Your Majesty, the Black Fox King said in the letter that if the court does not give these natural treasures within three days, he will kill Miss Meng Di."

"Based on my understanding of the Black Fox King, he is definitely not exaggerating."

Hear this.

Zhao Ning looked embarrassed.

Mengdi grew up in the palace.

The Queen Mother loved him very much.

Zhao Ning really couldn't bear to see such a pretty and lively girl, so he let the Black Fox King kill her.

But things like invisible gauze and weeping blood-stained shark beads are really too expensive!
Sometimes, it can even save lives!

If he really gave all these rare treasures to the Black Fox King, he would not be willing to part with them.

More importantly.

It is possible that after the Black Fox King takes these rare treasures, he will turn around and deal with the Song Dynasty.

In doing so, you're really shooting yourself in the foot.

For a moment, Zhao Ning was caught in a dilemma.

at that time.

Wang Daosen saw the emperor's dilemma.

Pfft!
He made up his mind, gritted his teeth, and suddenly knelt on the ground, with tears in his eyes, and said:

"Your Majesty, Meng Di's life is not worth the court spending so many natural treasures to redeem it!"

"I beg to resign from my position as the commander-in-chief of the Imperial Guards, fight the Black Fox King to the death, and rescue Meng Di!"

at the same time.

When Lin Xuan saw Wang Daosen, such a tough guy, with tears in his eyes and kneeling to thank him, his heart trembled and he was greatly shocked.

It is for the public good not to let Your Majesty spend the palace’s treasures to redeem Meng Di!

Be loyal to the emperor and serve the country!
Resigning from the post of commander-in-chief of the Imperial Guards and going single-handedly to save his beloved daughter is out of personal gain!

It is also his responsibility as a father!
"Commander Wang, aren't you making it difficult for me?"

Hearing this, Zhao Ning looked at him helplessly.

"I beg your Majesty to grant me your permission!"

Wang Daosen kowtowed and bowed.

"Ugh……"

When Tang Fuyin saw this situation, he could only sigh helplessly.

He knew very well that under such circumstances, what Commander Wang said seemed to be the best solution.

But with Wang Daosen's strength, how could he defeat the Black Fox King!
He couldn't save his daughter and would only lose his life in vain.

But at this moment, Tang Fuyin was unable to persuade him.

If Xiaolong were in such a dangerous situation, he would probably do the same.

……

After Wang Daosen finished speaking.

Zhao Ning was slow to answer.

He was still kneeling on the ground, and the scene was frozen for a moment.

Seeing this, Lin Xuan took the initiative to propose:

"Your Majesty, Commander Wang, I have a plan!"

As soon as he finished speaking.

The emperor looked towards him immediately and said:

"What's your plan, Lord Lin?"

this moment.

Wang Daosen also raised his head suddenly and stared at Lin Xuan.

He just decided to die!

Instead of being a coward in the palace, it is better to find the Black Fox King and have a good fight!
Even if Meng Di cannot be rescued, he can pave the way for her to go to the underworld in advance.

But he didn't expect that Lin Xuan actually stood up at the critical moment!
Suddenly, a glimmer of hope arose in his heart again.

Because so many miracles have happened to this young man!

Not only His Majesty and Commander Wang, but even Prefect Tang looked at Lin Xuan curiously.

Want to know what his trick is?
Lin Xuan said frankly:
"Your Majesty, my plan is not a good one, it is just a risky one."

"Since the Black Fox King wants these natural treasures, I will send them to him. Then we will see if this devil can eat them."

Hear this.

Commander Wang exclaimed:

"Oh, Marquis Xuan Yong wants to compete with the Black Fox King and rescue my daughter?"

Lin Xuan nodded and said:

"good."

"I want to have a big fight with the Black Fox King!"

Hearing this, Commander Wang shook his head and did not approve of Lin Xuan's move:
"Isn't this too risky? Although your strength has greatly increased, you may not be able to defeat the Black Fox King. If you fail, the loss will outweigh the gain..."

Although Wang Daosen hoped very much to rescue Meng Di.

But what Lin Xuan said was too risky.

If he fails, not only his own life will be in danger.

Even those rare treasures have to be handed over to others for nothing!
Wang Daosen doesn’t dare to gamble, and can’t gamble!
He knew that Lin Xuan was Shaolin Temple’s hope to deal with the Black Fox King!
Perhaps in a few years, this child will really have the ability to defeat the Black Fox King.

But not now.

So, after Lin Xuan finished speaking, he decisively refused.

After listening to what Lin Xuan said, Emperor Zhao Ning immediately looked up to him and praised him with a smile:
"Marquis Xuan Yong, you are really brave, daring to compete with the Black Fox King!"

"But..." His tone suddenly became serious.

He asked word by word:
"What are your chances of winning?"

"Five points!"

Lin Xuan said in a deep voice.

In the divine world, he saw with his own eyes how Puji Guangwei Bodhisattva defeated the Black Fox King and sealed a "卍" Buddhist seal on his body!

Now that more than two months have passed, Lin Xuan doesn't believe that the Black Fox King has recovered.

To know.

That was the seal cast by Bodhisattva Puji Guangwei himself.

If it was really that easy to crack, the Black Fox King might have survived until the day when the Dark Lord invaded the human world.

Therefore, he had reason to believe that the Black Fox King must be in a very bad condition right now.

This can be seen from the fact that he asked the Song Dynasty for these natural treasures.

If he does not have the courage to fight the Black Fox King in this state, then all his training would be in vain!
He carries on the legacy of Bodhisattva Puji Guangwei and has the "Eight Seals of Great Power of Acalanatha" by his side. He doesn't believe that he cannot defeat the Black Fox King!

More importantly.

On that day, Meng Di's affectionate and nostalgic gaze really left a deep impression on him.

Do not know why.

When he made up his mind, Lin Xuan suddenly remembered what Bodhisattva Puji Guangwei told him before he left.

"Lin Xuan, I have not completed my task yet, so you should make up for the regrets of the past..."

"Five points?"

Zhao Ning's eyes narrowed as he secretly pondered the weight of these two words.

After a while, Zhao Ning asked again:

"Marquis Xuanyong, what will you do if I don't agree?"

Hearing this, Lin Xuan suddenly smiled, his eyes full of youthful demeanor:
"If your majesty does not agree, then I will have no choice but to go to the Black Fox King's lair myself and rescue Miss Mengdi."

"After all, it's up to us."

"Besides, she is an innocent person who was dragged into this. She doesn't deserve to suffer this hardship."

Commander Wang was listening and felt warm in his heart. He said with a slightly sour nose:

"Marquis Xuanyong, you..."

Without further ado, Lin Xuan leaned over to Emperor Zhao Ning and said:

"Your Majesty, please issue an order!"

Seeing the young man's vigor and determination, Zhao Ning also gained courage and immediately agreed:

"In that case, I'll take a gamble too!"

"Just take the treasures from the imperial treasury. If you can rescue Meng Di and bring back those treasures safely, I will definitely reward you handsomely!"

Lin Xuan smiled in his heart and replied with pursed lips:

"Thank you, Your Majesty. I will definitely fulfill my mission!"

This room.

Wang Daosen trembled suddenly when he heard this, and kowtowed to Emperor Zhao Ning:
"I thank you for your grace!"

He bowed to Lin Xuan again:
"Thank you, Lord Xuanyong, for your kindness!"

"Commander Wang, please don't torture this kid."

Lin Xuan's mind moved, and the power of his soul was like a thick cotton cloud, lifting up Wang Daosen's head which was about to fall down.

"Marquis Xuanyong, when do you want to leave?"
