Chapter 428 Reward him!
Zheng Qiu was half lying on the beam, holding a bunch of red fruits in his hand and started to eat. As expected of a royal family, these red fruits were no ordinary things. Zheng Qiu felt a heat rising in his body as soon as he ate them. It was obviously a precious fruit that could improve his cultivation. If he was born in a royal family, he would probably have reached the realm of a god by now.
At this time, Princess Jinyan was also eating heartily in front of the Eight Immortals Table. Her chubby cheeks looked very cute, but her slightly furrowed brows made people feel a little distressed.
Zheng Qiu laughed: "Still thinking about it!"
Jin Yan nodded: "My eighteenth birthday is in two days! According to what you said, I guess there should be benefits coming to me for no reason."
"Benefits without a reason? What's that?"
Jin Yan sighed, "I don't know yet! The methods of my brother and father are not so easy to guess! But if they want to attack me, they should show some sign. The best way is to make me pay willingly. As for those despicable methods, I think they will not use them unless they are desperate."
Zheng Qiu picked up the jade pendant and thought for a while: "Master asked me to leave a set of exercises before I left. I will take a look at it first, maybe there will be a turn for the better!"
Princess Jinyan nodded slightly. There was no other way at this moment. She couldn't leave the palace anyway, and she didn't expect a child to come up with any solution.
Zheng Qiu's consciousness sank into the jade pendant, and five large gold-plated characters came into view - "Taixu Zhide Jing".
Instantly, the spiritual powder merged into Zheng Qiu's soul. When Zheng Qiu opened his eyes, it was already dark, and he was sitting upright on the Eight Immortals Table.
"Oh no! I let my guard down!"
Zheng Qiu quickly scanned the entire palace with his spiritual sense and found that there was no one in the entire palace. Just as he was about to stand up, he found a piece of paper on his knees.
"I'm going to a banquet and will bring you some delicious food later! I'll be back before midnight! Don't worry!"
Zheng Qiu raised his eyebrows. It seemed that he had made this ally himself! At this moment, a black shadow passed by the window. Zheng Qiu's pupils shrank, and he turned over and climbed onto the beam again.
At this moment, the haggard old Taoist gently pushed open the door of the palace and secretly stuck his head out as if looking for something.
Zheng Qiu was overjoyed when he saw it, but he didn't dare to shout loudly. He could only shout softly in a very small voice: "Master! Here! Look up!"
The old Taoist's eyes lit up, his feet moved with a breeze, and he turned over and climbed onto the beam: "My dear disciple! Are you okay?"
Zheng Qiu looked at the blood on the Taoist's beard, and a trace of guilt flashed in his eyes: "If it wasn't for covering my escape, I don't think Master would have been so seriously injured!"
The old Taoist laughed and said, "Why are you being so polite to me?"
Zheng Qiu hurriedly said, "Master, this is the little princess's bedroom. Let's go quickly. She's going to a banquet! She will be back at midnight!"
Zheng Qiu was about to pull the Taoist away, but the Taoist quickly reached out and held Zheng Qiu's wrist: "My dear disciple! Wait a minute!"
Zheng Qiu was stunned: "What are you waiting for? If you wait, no one will take care of you in your old age!"
The old Taoist waved his hands helplessly, even holding Zheng Qiu's wrist seemed a bit strenuous: "Good disciple! Master came here this time to give this to you!"
As the old Taoist said this, he stuffed a jade pendant into Zheng Qiu's hand.
Zheng Qiu looked puzzled: "The old man is about to die, and you are still hiding your intentions from me?"
The old Taoist coughed violently, causing an echo in the hall. Zheng Qiu quickly covered the old Taoist's mouth and scanned the outside of the hall with his spiritual sense with a frightened look on his face. He let go of the old Taoist after making sure there was no one around. But when he looked at his hand, he was shocked: "Fuck! Are you serious? Stop! I still have to take care of you in your old age!"
The old Taoist calmed down his turbulent blood and said, "It's okay! Master, the person I owe the most in my life is your master's wife. Because of me, she lost the qualification to be a mother. She really treats you as her son. When you get out, remember to find her and take care of her. Don't let her get hurt in the slightest."
Zheng Qiu's tears were already in the corners of his eyes: "I promise you, don't say anything, I will take you away!"
As Zheng Qiu was about to carry the Taoist priest on his back, the Taoist priest slipped and fell on the beam, almost falling down.
"Boy, it's not that I won't take you with me. You've seen my situation! I can get out by myself, but I'm worried about you! This jade slip is your life-saving device. It contains the Tenglong Bahuang Gong. If you are caught, I will use this technique to buy your freedom. Remember, you can't practice without royal blood! Remember!"
As the Taoist priest spoke, his body tilted and he fell down. Zheng Qiu instantly hugged the Taoist priest in his arms, wanting to take him away. As for the questions in his mind, it was not appropriate to talk about them at this time.
The old Taoist took out a talisman from his bosom: "This talisman is a sword-killing array talisman. Burning this talisman can have the power of a strike from the God Emperor! You take it! Protect yourself, and your master will go ahead!"
The old Taoist stuffed the sword-killing array talisman into Zheng Qiu's body, and then pointed it at Zheng Qiu's chest at the speed of light. Zheng Qiu felt his heart sink, and his consciousness began to dissipate.
Seeing Zheng Qiu unconscious, the old Taoist immediately shook off his decadence and placed him on the Eight Immortals Table. He clapped his hands and two men in black knelt down in front of the old Taoist: "From now on, he will be your master. Wait until he leaves the palace and find a chance to join him!"
"Yes!"
The old Taoist pinched Zheng Qiu's face, his eyes full of kindness: "You little bastard! I'm doing this for your own good! Don't blame me!"
As the old Taoist said this, he disappeared into the hall with the two men in black.
As soon as he left, Zheng Qiu's body went limp and he collapsed, hitting his head on the eight-immortals table. He woke up with a gasp.
He quickly searched for his underwear and found a yellow talisman, only then did he realize that he was not dreaming: "Old man, you really touched me to death! I thought I had long since lost interest in human nature! After all, I am still a player in the game!"
At this moment, Zheng Qiu heard the sound of messy footsteps coming from outside the palace, and Zheng Qiu quickly turned over and jumped onto the beam.
At this time, a young man came in holding Jin Yan. The young man's steps were unsteady, his eyes were dark, and there was a hint of spring in the corners of his eyes: "Hehe! This is a good opportunity!"
The man put Jinyan on the bed, and then began to untie his belt. Zheng Qiu suddenly jumped off the beam and pointed a finger at the back of the man's head. The man fainted.
Zheng Qiu reached out and felt Jinyan's pulse and found no signs of poisoning or drunkenness.
"Get up! Stop pretending!"
Jin Yan's beautiful eyes suddenly opened, and she looked at the man lying on the ground with disgust: "What bad luck!"
Zheng Qiu was speechless: "There are such dirty things in this palace? It seems that the Wu Dynasty is not that great!"
Jin Yan stepped on the man's face and said, "How can this bastard represent our great Wu Kingdom? He is nothing but a waste! He is not even qualified to open a government office!"
Zheng Qiu looked at the brocade shoes stepping on the man's face, and a sentence suddenly popped up in his mind: "So why did you reward him?"
"what?"
