Chapter 143 Reincarnation
Yuan Fang concentrated his soul with all his strength, and his voice was barely perceptible when he spoke: "Master, the power of the Supreme Harmony Hall to suppress evil spirits is too strong. I was only in there for less than half an hour, and already..."
Lu Xuan quickly cast two mind-concentrating spells and used two talismans to consolidate his consciousness, only then did his soul become stronger.
Then he continued, "There's a powerful aura in that hall, and there's a master like you there. He must have sensed me, but he didn't attack me."
He took a breath and said, "Later, when Lord Ji was speaking, I saw that man take action. He was the one who made Lord Ji speechless!"
Lu Xuan's pupils suddenly sank, and he asked hurriedly, "Are you saying that person used magic to make Ji Xiangli speechless?!"
Yuan Fang nodded vigorously.
Jiang Xing, who had been sitting silently aside, immediately exchanged glances with Lu Xuan in tacit understanding.
It seems that besides the Marquis' Mansion, their enemies are hiding behind!
If that's the case, then this man is the murderer who killed Xu Bai before. It was he who deliberately used the mysterious magic to murder Jiang Xing, and then framed his part on the Marquis' Mansion!
And more importantly, this person and the Marquis' Mansion may not be completely united because of their interests!
Otherwise, if he had seen Yuan Fang come out in the hall today, he would have taken action. He would not have ignored it from beginning to end, and he would not have taken action against Lord Ji.
Lu Xuan couldn't help but ask again, "What does that person look like? Did you see him clearly?"
Yuan Fang was a little embarrassed, his body flickering. "At that time, I was only focused on keeping an eye on Sun Xiaoyue, and I really didn't pay attention to the ministers in the palace. I didn't even know who attacked me. I quickly got back into the jade pendant because I sensed that spiritual power, so I fled in a hurry!"
There were more than a hundred people attending court in the hall, and since that person was good at concealing himself, it would undoubtedly be extremely difficult to find him.
Moreover, Jiang Xing did not understand the Xuanmen, and Lu Xuan could not show up, so they certainly could not find out who it was.
Seeing that Yuan Fang really didn't know, and that his trip to the Hall of Supreme Harmony had caused great damage to his soul, Lu Xuan felt that he had to send him to reincarnation as soon as possible.
"Uncle Yuan, I'm about to send Yuan Fang to reincarnation. Do you have anything else to say? His consciousness is getting weaker and weaker. We must seize this opportunity."
Old Man Yuan's eyes were red and swollen. Since he went to the Hall of Supreme Harmony today, his tears had long dried up and he could no longer cry.
Perhaps Mr. Yuan had never thought of such an occasion, or perhaps he simply couldn't face the fact of watching his son leave with his own eyes.
Old Man Yuan's whole body was shaking. He tried to put his hand on Yuan Fang's shoulder, but every time he reached out, it hit nothing.
He looked at his palms, trying to recapture the warm touch of patting his son's shoulders, but all that was left were empty gaps between his fingers.
He tried to lift it several times, but finally let it go weakly.
He sighed tremblingly, and finally waved his hand weakly, "In this life, it's you who brought honor to my father. Even an old man like me is often admired by others for having a son like you! Now I envy those parents who often scold their children for being foolish. At least their children can stay with them for the rest of their lives..."
"You can go now. We are destined to be together in this life. I, Old Yuan, am content to have a son like you!"
Old Man Yuan turned to the side dejectedly, endured the severe pain in his heart, and turned away and no longer looked at Yuan Fang.
This is the end of the father-son relationship in this life, and also the final farewell.
His shoulders were shaking violently, and he said to Lu Xuan, "Princess, please send him away!"
Lu Xuan had seen this kind of scene many times, so he didn't think too much about it. In addition, Yuan Fang was now very weak. He responded slightly, and the talisman on his body was already heading towards Yuan Fang.
At the last moment when the Gate of Reincarnation appeared, Yuan Fang kowtowed three times to Old Man Yuan.
As the mantra of rebirth was recited, Yuan Fang's figure became more and more blurred until it disappeared into nothingness.
After seeing Yuan Fang off, Lu Zhuan turned around and realized that Old Man Yuan had been sitting there for a long time as if petrified. He didn't even respond when he was called. He seemed to have aged dozens of years in an instant.
"Uncle Yuan?" Lu Xuan couldn't help but push him.
"Oh, oh, Princess."
Old Yuan came back to his senses dully, "Thank you and the prince for helping me, Old Yuan, to resolve my worries!"
After saying this, he staggered to his knees and kowtowed heavily to the two of them.
Jiang Xing helped him up with a heavy heart: "Uncle Yuan, I will send someone to take you back. Live your life in peace from now on. Your son's revenge has been avenged."
Suddenly, as if remembering something, his big hands, like dry bark, suddenly grabbed Jiang Xing and said, "Prince, can you please not send me back?"
As he spoke, he glanced at Lu Xuan cautiously again. "Actually, when I came to the capital, I was already prepared to die together with him. I just didn't expect that, thanks to the prince and princess, I would actually survive."
"But in truth, I know this hope is too slim, and I've never even made any plans to survive. So now, when the prince tells me to go back, I don't know where. If it's Huangzhou, forget it. I never want to go back to that place..."
All the meaning of his struggle in this life has ended. He is like a dandelion carried away by the north wind, and he has no idea where he will drift to in the next moment.
Jiang Xing saw the old face of Mr. Yuan in front of him, and then thought of the man on the dragon throne in the hall this morning who was not caring about the people but only about balancing the forces, and he felt inexplicably depressed.
"Then where does Mr. Yuan want to go?"
Old Man Yuan glanced at him and Lu Xuan expectantly, then bowed and said, "Your Majesty and Princess are my great benefactors. When we first met in the attic, I promised to repay your kindness by working like a slave for the rest of my life. How about letting me be your coachman?"
He seemed to be worried that Jiang Xing would refuse, and his eyes were full of humble pleading: "When I was doing small business in Huangzhou, I always pulled the goods myself and learned the skill of driving a horse-drawn carriage. I think this can be of some use..."
Jiang Xing glanced at Lu Xuan.
Lu Xuan nodded slightly.
fair enough.
This old man Yuan is determined to commit suicide, so keeping him to do odd jobs is considered a good relationship.
Just as Lu Xuan was thinking this, he really heard the familiar "ding dong" sound.
……
Ever since the incident involving Ji Cheng and Ji Xiangli, the plaque of the Marquis' Mansion had been removed, and it had just been replaced with the plaque of the Ji Mansion.
Ji Xiangli received fifty strokes of the cane, and before the beating was over, he fainted.
It wasn't until the next day that he finally woke up.
The burning pain on his back was clearly felt, and he finally confirmed that it was not a dream. He was really dismissed from office and was really beaten!
He had not expected that by going to court as usual, he would be separated from the glory of yesterday forever.
He admitted that he underestimated the enemy this time!
Moreover, it was such a meticulous plan.
"Ji Ping, Ji Ping..."
Ji Xiangli's voice was hoarse. Because his back was covered in wounds, he could only lie on the bed, so he couldn't make any sound.
"Cough cough."
He coughed hard twice until he heard that his throat could make sounds, and then he lay down again with a little relief.
Today in the temple, I suddenly became speechless.
I don’t know if I was too angry at the time or if that person was deliberately making things difficult for me.
Steward Ji quickly entered the bedroom. He couldn't help but wipe away his tears: "Master, you are finally awake."
He picked up a bowl of ginseng soup and served it to Ji Xiangli, "Moisten your throat first."
Ji Xiangli had already passed the age of 50 and had lived a happy and wealthy life. How could he have suffered such a punishment?
Half of his energy and spirit had been drained away, and his face was so pale that there was not a trace of blood in it.
"Boss, has the boss's funeral been held?"
Manager Ji's expression froze.
Funeral?
Manager Ji pursed his lips.
The people almost blew the roof off the house, how could they dare to hold a funeral!
He was afraid of accidentally irritating Ji Xiangli, so he answered cautiously in a low voice, "The Madam originally wanted to hold a grand funeral for the Master, but due to public outrage and the constant siege and surveillance on the Ji Mansion, she didn't dare to take any action. However, the Madam has come up with a solution and has already sent someone to do it."
When Ji Cheng was beheaded, many people in the city went to see him.
In the past two days, there were countless people standing at the gate of Ji's mansion wanting to rush in and destroy the house, making a scene and cursing at them outside, and even throwing rotten eggs and leftover vegetable leaves into the mansion.
Being cursed by the people of the whole city, the whole mansion was in a panic. There was no other way, Wang had to buy a coffin from outside, and then ordered the servants in the mansion to choose an inconspicuous house, secretly transport her body collected from the execution ground to the house, and perform a small ritual for Ji Cheng there, and light a few eternal lamps.
Ji Xiangli licked his dry, pale lips, his eyes gleaming like a sharp dagger: "Send someone to kill that traitor Sun Xiaoyue!"
As he spoke, he gasped again, his expression slightly changing: "Call Si Luan over, I have something to discuss with him!"
