Chapter 216: Formation Broken
Ji Bozhou walked out of the mansion.
When he saw Jiang Xing, the expression on his face did not change in time and was still cold and gloomy.
Until the servant bowed and said, "Master, this person is here to mourn the Second Young Lady..."
Ji Bozhou was slightly stunned, and then his expression changed into a faint smile in surprise.
"Your Highness Prince Jin." Ji Bozhou bowed. "Thank you, Your Highness, for your concern for my second sister. Please come down with me."
When the servant of Ji Mansion heard that it was Prince Jin, he was so frightened that his eyes widened and his whole body went limp!
Prince Jin?
The person everyone in the palace hates the most is Prince Jin?!
Then why was he talking so much just now!
Ji Bozhou glanced at him subtly, and then wanted to take Jiang Xing to the mourning hall.
At this moment, Ji Bozhou's gaze suddenly fixed on the servant beside Jiang Xing, Lu Xuan.
Lu Xuan's heart skipped a beat.
Could it be that Ji Bozhou recognized him?
She and Ji Bozhou grew up together, and he really knew her figure and every move very well.
As she thought about it, her eyes couldn't help but flicker a few times and she lowered her head even more.
He looks like a more obedient servant.
Ji Bozhou's expression changed slightly, and he seemed to suspect that he had seen it wrong.
Yuanyuan, how could you possibly do such a humble thing?
Then he led Jiang Xing inside.
Because Ji Qingyan was not of high generation and her junior Ji Tang had also passed away, the Ji family could only find some younger generations from side branches to come to the mourning hall and kneel in place of the filial sons and grandsons.
Jiang Xing went in and lit a stick of incense for her.
However, after the incense was burned, it was unexpectedly discovered that there was no trace of Ji Xiangli.
Lu Xuan saw that the surroundings were very quiet and thought that since the Ji family was holding a funeral today, there were not many guests at the moment.
So, he quickly pretended to be a man and said, "Your Highness, I have to go to the bathroom urgently. Can I find a toilet first?"
As he spoke, he covered his stomach, looking extremely urgent.
Jiang Xing hadn't seen Ji Xiangli yet, so he didn't want to agree to her so quickly. But Ji Bozhou was always by his side, so he couldn't find a chance to hint at her.
Therefore, he could only glance at her unhappily as if his mood was disturbed, and said, "Go ahead, you've embarrassed yourself. Go back and get your punishment!"
The tone was very unfriendly.
Ji Bozhou was standing behind Jiang Xing, and Lu Xuan understood his intention.
She quickly responded, "Oh! It's my fault. I'll be back soon!"
After saying that, he asked the servant in the mansion for directions to the toilet, then ran away quickly, holding his stomach.
Ji Bozhou glanced at the figure running away and felt relieved.
If it were Lu Xuan, Jiang Xing would definitely not say such unkind words to her.
Considering the man's expression, I think he must be a servant.
Seeing that Ji Bozhou's mind seemed to be wandering, Jiang Xing coughed lightly and said with a suggestive smile, "Young Master Ji, logically speaking, when the king arrives, your Master Ji should come out to greet him, right? Why isn't he here?"
Ji Bozhou paused, "Your Highness, are you here today to see father?"
Jiang Xing seemed to be thinking about something, but after a while, he shook his head and said, "Many years ago, Miss Ji Er saved me. In gratitude for your help, I have come to see her off for the last time."
Ji Bozhou gave an ambiguous smile: "Your Majesty, you are still a grateful person."
Jiang Xing responded with a meaningful look, "If you don't remember the favor, do you think I will remember the trap she set for the princess and the evil she did to her, and come to pay tribute to her?"
There was a faint smile on his lips, but in Ji Bozhou's ears, those words were like arrows coated with ice and snow piercing through the extremely cold winter, biting and scratching.
Ji Bozhou smiled stiffly, bowed and said, "Your Highness, please take a seat in the side hall. I will go and invite my father."
Jiang Xing then nodded slightly and followed the servant who led the way to the side hall.
He turned his head to glance at Ji Bozhou's receding figure, and a cold smile appeared on his face.
Since the princess's goal today is to do something big in the Marquis' Mansion, he must not hold her back.
……
Lu Xuan ran from the main hall of Ji Mansion to the backyard under the pretext of having to go to the bathroom urgently. After casting two talismans, she knocked down the two servants following her.
Relying on the memories of her previous life, she was now skillfully approaching the north gate of the backyard, which was closed all year round.
She remembered that at the north gate stood a strange stone that could be hugged by five people, and it was carved with auspicious symbols.
And there was Ji Cheng and Wang's courtyard.
Thinking about it now, Lu Xuan realized that the stone might not be that simple.
It is the core of the Ji family's Purple Qi Dragon and Tiger Hexagram formation.
Heading east from Qingjingyuan, in less than half a minute, she saw the rock in her memory.
There are some flowers and trees planted next to the strange rocks. The combination of scattered rocks and lush flowers and trees is extremely pleasing to the eye.
Sure enough, it looked exactly the same as she remembered.
Lu Xuan looked around, and since there was no one around, she immediately ran to hide beside a rock, and then began to chant spells.
With her strength, it is almost impossible to destroy such a big stone by external force.
Therefore, he had to use spells to forcibly break the formation, and at the same time use his own mysterious power to purify the original talisman in the stone.
However, the price of doing so would be harming her body again.
But now, she couldn't find a better way, so she had to do this.
I just hope Jiang Xing can help her for a while longer and hold back the people from the Ji family.
"The nine stars move in the right direction, the Yuanshi wanders, the Huajing tomb is bright, and the Yuanling disperses..."
Lu Xuan began to chant the spell.
Today she used the Nine Star Divine Spell, combined with her blood talisman, and she felt that it should be enough.
However, just as she activated the blood talisman and finished the first round of spells, she heard two footsteps, one heavy and one light, coming towards her.
Lu Xuan's heart tightened.
Why not come earlier or later? Come at this critical moment!
In order for the blood talisman to exert the power she expected, she would have to recite the spell at least three times, but now, it was probably too late...
So, she continued to chant the spell while looking for a hiding place.
Ever since Ji Xiangli asked Ji Bozhou to invite Jiang Yuanfeng, he has been waiting for him to come to Ji Mansion.
Unexpectedly, this person kept delaying until the news of Tang'er's death came, and only came when he was most devastated.
He was already feeling somewhat unhappy.
But now he needs help from someone, and thinking of this person's ability, he can only bear with it and bring him to Ji Mansion first.
"Master Jiang, look, are all the recent incidents in our mansion related to these mysterious techniques you're good at?"
Ji Xiangli had an unrelieved worry on his face, and he even had some doubts about Jiang Yuanfeng in his heart.
A few days ago, he specially asked someone to take a look, and he was told that there was an ominous aura currently lingering in the Ji family's mansion.
But wasn't everything in this mansion created by Jiang Yuanfeng back then?
Could it be that he had done something to his own house?
After all, he had personally designed this formation back then. And later on, Jiang Yuanfeng was also dissatisfied with him.
Jiang Yuanfeng looked around with his hands behind his back, and a hint of suspicion flashed across his eyes as he listened to these words.
There were indeed wisps of foreign air invading the sky above the Ji family.
But this formation has been set up for such a long time, so it is reasonable that there will be some abnormalities occasionally.
Furthermore, nothing unusual was seen in other places in Ji Mansion.
So soon, this doubt was dispelled by him.
Jiang Yuanfeng sneered, "Father-in-law Ji has been in power for too long, so he's not used to his current status, right?"
He slowly stroked the white stubble on his chin. "As the saying goes, fortunes change. Fifteen years of prosperity for your Ji family isn't enough. Do you really want endless prosperity for generations?"
He casually plucked a leaf from a flower branch and twisted it in his hand: "If you do this, what hope will the other people in Shiyongfang have?"
Ji Xiangli knew that Jiang Yuanfeng was taking this opportunity to express his previous dissatisfaction with the Ji family's tremendous power.
But these words made her taste something.
He still managed to hold his temper, forcing an awkward smile, with a hint of probing in his voice, "Could it be that this is really related to you, sir? This is what you promised me when you set up the formation. You're not thinking of quitting so soon, are you?"
After saying that, he waited expectantly for the response from the person next to him.
Jiang Yuanfeng's face froze, and complex emotions surged rapidly in his heart.
But maybe he was already used to having a calm face, so there was no ripple on his face.
After a long while, he looked at Ji Xiangli meaningfully.
Both of them are shrewd and know what the other is thinking.
Therefore, there were clearly thousands of words in their eyes, but they only looked at each other and smiled knowingly.
Jiang Yuanfeng's eyes wandered around the backyard, then he leaned against the large rock, patted his hands, and sighed, "Father-in-law Ji has seen my abilities, so everything today is up to me. I've done my best with personnel matters, and the rest is all God's will!"
As soon as these words came out, Ji Xiangli couldn't help but frown, and his expression became visibly nervous: "My Lord, are you saying that there is really something wrong with my mansion?"
Jiang Yuanfeng shook his head and said, "I've taken a look at Ji Guozhang's mansion. It seems there is no problem at the moment!"
Before Jiang Yuanfeng could lift his hand from the strange stone, a voice that made the two of them change their expressions suddenly came out.
