In the palace, the emperor had a quiet room for monasticism.

At this moment, the quiet room was filled with smoke, the emperor and Jian Yun were sitting opposite each other, and Jian Yun was speaking to him.

What is burned in the incense burner is the finest ambergris, which comes from tribute from overseas. But the return gift is even more generous.

Han Shitou was accompanying him. Listening to Jian Yun's words that everything is external, he couldn't help but laugh.

"...The sages have said that my biggest trouble lies in my body. The flesh body will give rise to many desires and many pains. Eat, drink, have fun, and fight for power. But the flesh body is a mortal body after all, and birth, old age, illness and death are inevitable. If there is no flesh body, the soul can wander freely.

No worries, this is where the great road lies."

The emperor was entranced when he heard this, "Is there anyone who can attain Taoism by relying on the physical body?"

"Of course there is." Jian Yun took a sip of tea and said: "The third generation founder of Jianyun Temple was soaring in the sky during the day. At that time, the founder had breakfast, summoned his disciples, and asked them to practice diligently.

Don’t slack off and soar immediately.”

"Ahem!"

The emperor coughed twice, and Han Shitou asked on his behalf: "Is there anyone who has achieved enlightenment and still stayed in the world?"

Jian Yun was startled, "Does that mean living forever?"

The emperor had never thought about ascension. He probably thought that heaven was not as good as his earthly world. He just came here to live forever.

The profession that desires the most longevity in the world is the emperor.

It can be seen that power is the most addictive toy.

Jian Yun saw the look of hope in the emperor's eyes. He thought that he had asked Chang Sheng this question many times, but he was denied every time, but he was reluctant to give up, which showed his greed.

"Disaster."

Disaster?

It’s not that you can’t!

The emperor keenly heard the implication.

Chang Sheng, this old guy, keeps his secrets for me!

As soon as anger surged in my heart, I heard the alarm bell.

Clang clang clang!

The emperor was furious, "Look who it is, take it down!"

Even if the rebels break through Jiagu Pass, it will still take several days to reach Chang'an, right? Who the hell is doing this?

Han Shitou was just about to go out when he caught a glimpse of Jian Yun's mouth with a smile hanging from the corner of his eye.

Weird smile.

This is……

puff!

Jian Yun suddenly stood up from the ground and threw himself at the emperor.

He raised his right hand into a palm and slapped the emperor on the forehead.

With his cultivation level, if this palm strike is successful, the ministers will be ready to eat, and the King of Yue will be ready to succeed to the throne.

The emperor was stunned.

No reaction at all.

His eyes narrowed, and he was so frightened that he forgot to call for help.

There are only three people in the quiet room.

The emperor, Jian Yun, and Han Shitou were preparing to go out.

Jian Yun was a well-connected person for many years, so no one doubted that he would assassinate the emperor.

Therefore, the guards at the door were also talking in low voices with some boredom.

I'm done!

The emperor was despairing.

Something flew over and hit Jian Yun.

Jian Yun slapped it away with his palm, but it turned out to be a jade pendant.

A jade pendant given by Liang Jing.

Then, with a flash of his body, Han Shitou rolled out with the emperor in his arms.

At the same time shouting: "Assassin!"

The guards were startled, and looked into the quiet room, and saw Jian Yun leaping high, leaping towards him with a ferocious smile... What was that?

Han Shitou hugged the emperor and rolled crazily on the ground. Behind him, Jian Yun slapped him.

puff!

A small hole appeared in the ground.

puff!

A small hole appeared again.

"Protect Your Majesty!"

The guards swarmed in.

Jian Yun rushed towards the emperor regardless.

Han Shitou rolled as fast as he could, but still couldn't get rid of Jian Yun who was following him everywhere.

Jian Yun flew over him and kicked down with a grin.

call out!

A strong wind blew behind him, and Jian Yun concentrated on it.

puff!

The long sword penetrated through the chest, and Jian Yun was still looking at the emperor who was about to be stepped on. There was no dignity on his face, only despair.

Senior brother, I’m going!

Jian Yun felt happy, and at this moment, the emperor suddenly turned over.

It turned out that Han Shitou took action.

He hurriedly raised his hand and met Jian Yun's kick.

This kick lost most of its power after the sword penetrated his heart, but the monk's strength was extraordinary, and it still made Han Shitou spit out a mouthful of blood.

Jian Yun landed and was immediately hacked to death with knives.

The emperor lay there, trembling all over, "Someone is coming! Someone is coming!"

The maids and chamberlains rushed in and lifted the emperor up.

"Your Majesty, everything is fine. Nothing happened." Several chamberlains carefully examined the emperor's body and found that apart from the dust caused by the rolling, his right hand was bruised.

The emperor suddenly asked: "Where is the stone? Where is the stone?"

Han Shitou was lying on the ground, his face pale.

"Call the medical officer! Go quickly!"

The emperor personally went over to help Han Shitou, "Stone, stone..."

Han Shitou opened his eyes and saw that the emperor was fine. He said happily: "My slave, everything is fine."

"Stone!"

At this moment, the emperor was deeply moved.

"His Majesty!"

Zhao Sanfu rushed in, "Your Majesty."

"I am here." The emperor gradually regained his majesty.

Zhao Sanfu looked ugly and said, "Jianyunguan has conspired to rebel, and the army has arrived outside the city."

"Dog thief!"

Only then did the emperor realize that the alarm bells were ringing for rebellion outside the city.

"Has it ever been breached?"

"Still holding on."

"Who's directing?"

"Huang Chunhui."
