Outside the palace, in an open space on the roadside, a mound of earth suddenly built up. The mound gradually condensed into a human shape, and finally turned into a man, who was Xiao Xiaoqi who left the palace.

After successfully escaping, Xiao Xiaoqi was not happy at all. His eyes looking at the palace looked a little solemn... But at the same time, his eyes also shone with determination. No matter what, he must rescue his father.

.

Although I am very reluctant, now is not a good time to take action. I still have to wait for the Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony tomorrow, and then take advantage of the chaos of people to find an opportunity to take action.

Without lingering for too long, Xiao Xiaoqi turned around and left. He went back to wait for news about Li Jiuju and see how he could sneak into the Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony tomorrow.

As he walked, Xiao Xiaoqi frowned again, always feeling that he had forgotten something...

...

In less than half an hour, Xiao Xiaoqi returned to Xinghua Tower. Compared with other places, Xinghua Tower is obviously much more lively at night, and many people are still addicted to it.

However, this did not affect Xiao Xiaoqi. He concealed his appearance and returned directly to Xinghua Building through the back door.

However, after entering the door, Xiao Xiaoqi frowned because he felt as if someone was snooping nearby. Could it be someone monitoring Li Jiuju? Or could it be that Xinghua Tower has been targeted?

However, the other party was very sensible and just stared at him from a distance. Xiao Xiaoqi did not intend to alert the enemy. Anyway, as long as he entered Xinghua Tower, no one would notice him.

At this time, not long after Xiao Xiaoqi returned, a maid came over. She stared at Xiao Xiaoqi, obviously coming to see Xiao Xiaoqi.

"Girl, someone is waiting for you." The maid said softly.

After speaking, the maid did not wait for Xiao Xiaoqi's response and directly led the way.

Xiao Xiaoqi didn't think too much and followed him. It must be Li Jiuju who was looking for him.

Less than half a tea time, the maid led Xiao Xiaoqi to a room in the front yard. This room was close to the front hall where guests were entertained. The noisy sound outside could still be vaguely heard here, but the door of the room faced away.

The front hall is not easy to see.

The maid brought Xiao Xiaoqi and then left, without any unnecessary words or actions from beginning to end.

Xiao Xiaoqi didn't doubt that he was there and knocked on the door directly.

"Please come in!" Li Jiuju's lazy voice came from inside. As expected, it was Li Jiuju who was looking for him.

Xiao Xiaoqi pushed the door open and walked in. At this moment, he heard the familiar sound of the piano again. It was Miss Mi'er, and she was actually there.

Li Jiuju was overjoyed when he saw it was Xiao Xiaoqi. He quickly put away his lazy expression and said, "Xiao Qi, you're here, sit down quickly."

Xiao Xiaoqi frowned when he heard Li Jiuju calling him by his first name, and glanced at Mi'er worriedly.

Li Jiuju obviously understood Xiao Xiaoqi's concerns and explained: "I forgot to introduce you to you. Actually, Mi'er is also a member of our Qishi Society and a very outstanding hermit in the hidden tribe, so there is no need to worry about leaking the secret."

Oh? Mi'er is also from the Qishi Society? This surprised Xiao Xiaoqi.

At this time, Mi'er specially nodded to Xiao Xiaoqi, "Bee, the hermit of the Qishi Society, has met the Seventh Master."

"bee?"

"Oh, everyone in the Qishi Society has a code name, so it's easier to hide their identity." Li Jiuju explained.

Xiao Xiaoqi was relieved and sat down on the side, "Is it possible that the entire Xinghua Tower belongs to the Qishi Society?"

"How is this possible?" Li Jiuju said with a smile, "If it were all, it would be too easy to be exposed. Only a few are."

Xiao Xiaoqi said at this time: "When I came back just now, I found someone secretly snooping here. Could it be that he was exposed?"

Li Jiuju curled his lips and said, "It's normal. This period is quite sensitive. Dongfang Changgong has deployed eyeliners throughout Zhengtian City. People are watching everywhere. Even when I go out now, there are a few more people watching."

"Is everything going to be okay?"

"Don't worry, a few more people will not pose a threat to me." Li Jiuju's tone was calm, and then he asked, "Did you go to the palace tonight?"

Xiao Xiaoqi was a little surprised, "How do you know?"

Li Jiuju calmly replied: "There is such a big movement, can you not know it? I will know it is you as soon as I guess."

Xiao Xiaoqi sighed and drank a glass of wine with some depression.

Li Jiuju could tell that Xiao Xiaoqi's trip was not going well, and then he comforted him: "It doesn't matter, Mingbopang is really good at hiding people, but don't worry, I will find Uncle Xiao even if I turn the entire palace upside down tomorrow."

Xiao Xiaoqi said: "No, I have already met my father and almost saved him."

"You found it? Where is it?" Li Jiuju was a little surprised, and also curious about where Ming Bopang hid the person, which made him unable to find him for so long.

"Under the Heavenly Prison." Xiao Xiaoqi did not hide it.

Li Jiuju raised his eyebrows slightly, "It's impossible, we've looked for that place...what happened?"

"There is a secret cave under the Tianlao. There are only some powerful talisman formations guarding it. No one is guarding it, so it is difficult to find." Xiao Xiaoqi said, "It was Jinzhi who took me there to find it. It's a pity that Mingbo Pang is still there.

A simple space teleportation array was set up there, and my father was teleported away at the last moment."

Li Jiuju sighed and couldn't help but feel sorry for Xiao Xiaoqi. If Xiao Xiaoqi could successfully rescue Xiao Bang, then things would be much simpler.

"By the way, you just said that Miss Jinzhi led you to find it?" Li Jiuju thought of something.

Xiao Xiaoqi also reacted, "Strictly speaking, it's just a remnant of Jin Zhi, without consciousness, so I'm worried that something happened to her. Daju, do you have any news about Jin Zhi?"

Li Jiuju chuckled, as if he remembered something funny, "You don't have to worry too much, I think Jin Zhi

Nothing should have happened to the girl, her elusive skills are unmatched by anyone, and she even made the palace uneasy a while ago."

"Then why did she leave only a remnant?"

"I think she has something necessary to do," Li Jiuju guessed. "We contacted her not long ago. She told us most of the information about the palace, and her purpose was to save Xiao

Uncle, she must have found the person recently and happened to know that you are still alive, so she left a clue specifically, and she herself should be guarding Uncle Xiao secretly."

Li Jiuju's guess was reasonable, and Xiao Xiaoqi finally felt relieved.

Li Jiuju then said: "In short, we will know tomorrow what exactly will happen."

Speaking of tomorrow, Xiao Xiaoqi also returned to the topic, "Tomorrow will be the ceremony for worshiping the heaven. I believe you already have some plans."

"Well." Li Jiuju's eyes flashed, as if he had already prepared, "Since Mingbo Pang has given us a challenge, there is no need for us to hide. The other five heads of our Qishi Association will meet tonight.

Come here, all the combat power of the Qishi Association will fully cooperate with you tomorrow, we are going to make a big fuss!"

It seems that Li Jiuju is really willing to go all out. Even the Qishi Society, which has been working hard for many years, will be thrown out in full force. This is indeed a terrifying fighting force.

"Then how should we sneak in?" Xiao Xiaoqi asked.

Li Jiuju has already thought about this, "It's easy to sneak in. The girl will take us in tomorrow night, and we will create corresponding chaos by then, so as to create opportunities to save Uncle Xiao first, and then wait until the person is rescued."

, it’s time for a showdown!”

Xiao Xiaoqi was still worried, "Even so, our chances of winning are not good."

The palace is still closed to air. Even if people are rescued, evacuation will be a problem. Xiao Xiaoqi has no problem protecting himself, but with so many people in the Qishi Society, it will not be easy to escape.

Li Jiuju paused after hearing this, and then just said: "Indeed, it's not big."

Zhengtian City is protected by the three major forces of Zhengtian Guard, Spiritual Master Palace, and Talisman Society, as well as the spiritual manifestation array and the blessing of an unknown Holy Emperor's transportation array. The Qishi Society alone is indeed enough.

But in this situation, Li Jiuju chose to accompany Xiao Xiaoqi to his death without hesitation, which can be regarded as a deep and profound love.

"Thank you, Daju." Xiao Xiaoqi said gratefully.

Li Jiuju didn't take it seriously, "Thank you for what I did. Brother, I'm not just helping you, I'm also fighting against my own destiny. In the eyes of the world, I, Li Jiuju, am a useless prince who can only rely on his father, and I'm under the emperor's nose."

I can only live a cowardly existence...I have had enough of this kind of life, and it’s time to fight back!"

Xiao Xiaoqi patted Li Jiuju on the shoulder. He also knew that Li Jiuju had endured too much over the years. No one could endure it for a lifetime, not even Li Jiuju. And how long he had held it in, the power he exploded would be shocking.

Li Jiuju quickly put away the fierceness in his eyes and said, "Come, drink, and I wish we will kill everyone tomorrow!"

"Okay, let's break the shackles of fate together!"

Next, Xiao Xiaoqi and Li Jiuju started chatting, as if they hadn't finished reminiscing about the past, and Mi'er didn't seem to be tired, and kept playing beside them, creating a harmonious atmosphere.

It wasn't until late at night that Xiao Xiaoqi and Li Jiuju reluctantly said goodbye. They chatted a lot about the details of tomorrow's action. It could be said that everything was ready and waiting for the ceremony to sacrifice to the heaven.

After saying goodbye, Xiao Xiaoqi naturally returned to the hidden courtyard and planned to take a rest.

As soon as he walked into the yard, someone spotted him. No, it should be said that a bird discovered him.

I saw Xue Ying sticking her head out of the window of the room, "Hey, little girl, I thought you weren't coming back tonight, how about it? A date with Xiao Ming..."

"A date?" Xiao Xiaoqi was stunned for a moment, and then he was shocked, "Oops!"

Xueying seemed to see the problem, "You...couldn't you have forgotten?"

Xiao Xiaoqi slapped his head suddenly, "Damn it, why did you forget this?"

He felt that he had forgotten something. It turned out that he had forgotten the agreement he had made with Ming Xiaoling. The two had made an appointment to meet in the evening...

"You're miserable!" Xueying couldn't help but joked, "Xiao Ming must be so sad that he broke the appointment."

Xiao Xiaoqi didn't say anything more, and hurriedly turned around and walked out of the yard to find Ming Xiaoling.

Xue Ying reminded from behind: "It's so late, everyone may have gone to bed."

Xiao Xiaoqi naturally knew this was a possibility, but he had an inexplicable feeling that Ming Xiaoling was still waiting for him.

…

On the other side, Huiwei Inn is the small inn where Lingqu and Lingxin are hiding. Since the small inn is located in a remote place and it is already very late, there are basically no people passing by. Even the store owners are preparing to take a rest.

Already.
