After giving Minghui two jars of wine brewed last year, Li Ye waved his hand and quietly left Prajna Temple with Xiaohua and Nangong Ruyu.

"When will junior brother come back?" Minghui asked quietly behind him as he looked at the three people walking to the mountain gate.

Li Ye raised his head and glanced at the sky, and replied softly: "If master and the others leave early, I will come back earlier, and senior brother can come over and walk around for a while, so there is no need to stay here."

Wuyou, who was following Minghui, looked at him and shouted: "Little senior uncle, let him feel at home when he meets his senior brother. Wuyou will go down the mountain to visit him."

Li Ye carried Nangong Ruyu on his back, waved his hands and said: "Practice is not easy, everyone cherishes it!"

Before he finished speaking, he was still hovering in the square in front of the main hall, but the people had gradually disappeared.

Minghui glanced at Wuyou and said calmly: "Go back and tell your master by the way."

Just as the two of them turned around and walked towards the main hall, the Prajna Temple, which they had been staring at for several days, finally saw the falling spring rain.

"Do you want to be so punctual? The wine has just been brewed?"

Minghui, who was walking in front, muttered softly.

Xiaohua, who was walking on the mountain path, took out two oil-paper umbrellas, opened them gently, handed them to Nangong Ruyu, and held one up herself.

Nangong Ruyu held the umbrella over the two of them and asked in Li Ye's ear: "Master, did daddy go down the mountain quietly?"

Li Ye smiled and replied: "Your father is afraid of getting caught in the rain. You can see him when you get home."

Nangong Ruyu nodded thoughtfully and said, "Dad is too squeamish and not as strong as Yu'er."

Xiaohua who was following behind couldn't help laughing and said, "Yu'er, what are you talking about? That's your father!"

Li Ye shook his head, frowned and said, "It's raining, be careful of slippery roads."

Nangong Ruyu turned to look at Xiaohua and said with a smile: "Xiaohua, be careful, don't fall. The master has to carry Yu'er on his back and can't help you."

"Yu'er, you didn't practice sword practice today, did you?" Li Ye asked.

"No, Sister Xiaohua has been busy packing things early in the morning." Nangong Ruyu shouted.

"Then go home and practice for another hour in the afternoon!"

"Master, Yu'er finally got home, can you not practice today?"

"That's okay, I won't practice today, and you don't have to eat tonight!"

"That won't work, Yu'er can't go hungry!"

"Then do you want to practice sword practice?"

"Okay, Yu'er can't defeat the master, so you're cruel!"

...

Li Ye sent Nangong Ruyu to the door of the Nangong Family. Instead of going in with her, he left the Nangong Family in a carriage and continued on.

"Yu'er told your grandpa that the master will come back for dinner."

The little girl standing in front of the gate waving to Li Ye heard Li Ye's voice in her ears.

"Hehe, the master must have gone to buy something delicious for Yu'er. Let's go home, Xiaohua!"

The little girl who hadn't been home for a long time jumped up and ran to the door.

The carriage moved forward, passed through the alley where Li Ye was attacked last time, turned a corner, and came to the door of the Lord of the Buddha Palace.

Naturally, the guard didn't recognize Li Ye, who was wearing a monk's robe, so Li Ye had no choice but to take out his sign and place it quietly in front of his eyes.

The guards didn't know Li Ye, but they had seen the palace cards in the imperial city. Nalan Yu came a few times last time, so the guards had naturally seen them.

He was startled and asked Li Ye to wait in front of the door. A guard quickly reported inside.

After a while, the master of the palace, Lan Pingwei, ran out with his guards and bowed to Li Ye in front of the door.

Li Ye didn't say anything, and motioned to go in before talking, and the two of them walked all the way to the house.

"Isn't the Master practicing on the mountain?" Lan Pingwei asked carefully.

In fact, the two of them have never met, and both sides are just guessing at each other.

"Let's go down the mountain and take a look at you, the master of the palace." Li Ye looked at him and smiled.

Lan Pingchuan was surprised and saluted again, and asked cautiously: "Did the official do something wrong?"

The last time he inspected and explained the matter of taking over the palace master, Li Ye didn't show up. It was all Nalan Yu who came forward. He thought he had done something wrong and asked the Imperial Master to come in person to question him.

The two entered the living room in the palace master's courtyard. Li Ye smiled and said, "Don't worry, I just have something to tell you."

"Master, please give me your instructions. I will definitely do it seriously."

"The last time the Queen Mother came to the Buddhist capital, she brought a letter from the Emperor to you. Where is it?" To be on the safe side, Li Ye had an extra thought.

After all, only a few people from the Nangong family knew about Jiang Ruoyu's visit to the Buddhist capital, and outsiders had no way of knowing.

When Lan Pingwei heard this, he quickly ran to the back hall, and after a while he took out a yellow letter and handed it to Li Ye.

Li Ye opened it, glanced at it, returned it to him, and said with a smile: "Master Lan, congratulations."

"Everything about Lan was given by the Imperial Master and the Emperor, and I will always bear this in mind."

Lan Pingwei didn't dare to forget what Nalan Yu told him when he found him. Without the Imperial Master, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to reach this position in his lifetime.

Li Ye smiled and continued: "If you do a good job for one or two years, the emperor's decree will probably come down, and no one in the Xixuan Region will compete with you for this position."

As soon as these words came out, Lan Pingchuan once again showed a grateful expression and asked seriously: "What is the purpose of the Imperial Master's trip?"

After all, he had been in the officialdom for many years and knew that Li Ye would not come here to look for him if nothing happened.

Li Ye thought for a while and asked with a smile: "How was the Qingzhou matter handled after General Nalan and I left? Did the appointed city lord have any more disputes?"

After taking over as the guard of Qingzhou City from Dongfang Ming, he no longer cared about the affairs of Qingzhou. Now that he had just returned to the Buddhist capital, he had not had time to ask Nangong Xuanyuan, so he had to ask Lan Pingwei.

"Ever since the imperial master visited Gyeongju City, people from Beihai no longer dare to interfere, and the water thieves on the Xijiang River have also changed their ways. It is very peaceful there now, and everyone is doing their own business."

Lan Pingwei couldn't help but be filled with emotion when he thought that the Imperial Guards had actually incorporated the leaders of the water thieves from Xijiang into the imperial army. He thought that only the Imperial Guards could make such a decision.

"As long as it's safe, it's not worth my trip with General Nalan." Li Ye said with a smile.

Lan Pingwei asked with a smile: "I heard that there was an attack by Beihai bandits at the junction of the Central Territory and the West Xuan Territory. I wonder how it was handled afterwards?"

When Li Ye heard this, he couldn't help but frown slightly and replied softly: "That matter is in the past and has nothing to do with you. I won't hold you accountable, so you can rest assured."

Although he didn't like to deal with people in the officialdom, the guy in front of him was a figure he promoted with his own hands after all. He had to come over and give it a try, not only for Lan Pingwei himself, but also to ensure the peace of Xixuan Territory.

"Learning from the past, please don't make Huangfu Ye's mistake again. After all, the people in Beihai are not on the same path as the dynasty. We will become enemies one day."

Li Ye looked at him and said calmly.

Lan Pingwei seemed to be thoughtful, woke up, stood up and bowed deeply to Li Ye, with a grateful look on his face.

"The Imperial Master is right. I will never collude with people from Beihai again." He is a smart man. He has seen Huangfu Ye's fate. How dare he follow his old path again.

Fan Xian caught a glimpse of Lan Pingwei's face turning red and knew that he took this matter very seriously and would never follow the wrong path of his predecessors again, so he nodded with satisfaction.

Li Ye pondered for a while, looked at him and said: "At present, among the five regions, I don't know the master of the palace in Beixuan Region. The other four masters are promoted by the emperor himself. You must not go on business trips."

wrong."

Yang Kaiyi of Nanxuan Territory, Zhuge Ming of Dongxuan Territory, and Lan Pingwei in front of him were all palace masters promoted by Li Ye and the eldest prince. The two of them from the Five Territories had already mastered the Four Territories, and they were left behind.

In the Beixuan Territory, Li Ye was not afraid of them causing trouble.

After all, the Tianshan Sword Sect is still in the Beixuan Territory, which is Nalan Yu's hometown, and he will cause chaos even if he wants to.

Li Ye lowered his head and thought about it. Unknowingly, he had changed all three palace masters.

Although he is not the emperor, he has exercised a lot of rights for the emperor. Fortunately, he has no desire for power, otherwise the eldest prince would definitely be wary of him.

There are two old guys sitting in the middle of the court, the left prime minister and the right prime minister. How can I feel relaxed and proud?

Seeing Li Ye's pensive expression, Lan Pingwei couldn't help but ask: "I wonder if General Nalan will come to Buddha City again? I have to treat him to a drink."

Li Ye shook his head and replied: "General Nalan has to protect the emperor in the imperial city, so he can't run out all day long. If there hadn't been chaos in Qingzhou last time, I wouldn't have been able to ask him to leave the imperial city."

When Lan Pingwei heard this, he laughed and said: "That's true. General Nalan is responsible for the safety of the imperial city after all."

Li Ye looked at him and continued: "While you are waiting for the emperor to announce his decree, you can go find him. He is a guy who neither drinks nor has sex."

"In this way, I will guard the Nanxuan Territory honestly and wait for the emperor's announcement. Is the Imperial Master going back to the imperial city or continuing to practice in the mountains? Do you want me to prepare some items to send up the mountain?"

At this time, Lan Pingwei wanted to please the legendary guy from the Five Realms the most. He thought that the sky was high and the emperor was far away, but the national master in front of him was the emperor's brother.

Once you have served this master well, you will no longer have to worry about your own affairs.

"It's not that exaggerated. I don't need anything. You don't have to worry. I have to go back to the mountain in a while." Li Ye knew what he was thinking and had no intention of telling him.

"Our West Xuan Territory and Beixuan Territory? Will one day they..." Lan Pingwei looked at Li Ye and asked carefully.

Li Ye looked at him and said: "You are not the only master of the Five Domains Dynasty, so what are you afraid of? As long as I am still here and the Emperor is still here, I will not let people from Beihai break into the Five Domains Dynasty."

Lan Pingwei lowered his head and thought for a long time, then looked at him and said: "I hope they don't come to provoke us, otherwise, let alone Beixuan Territory, Beihai will not be able to live in peace."

"I don't deny this. If I don't mess with them, I won't be afraid of them coming to the Five Realms to cause trouble. If they dare to invade the Five Realms, I dare say they will never survive."

The war in southern Xinjiang is especially close to our eyes. Li Ye is no longer the young boy he was before. When the storm rises again, there will probably be another bloody war.

And this time, Li Ye's methods may be even more ruthless than last time.

"As long as you do your job well, don't think too much about anything else, it's useless." Li Ye looked at him and said quietly.

He didn't want the palace master who had finally been found to become someone like Huangfu Ye again.

"Don't worry, Master Imperial Master, we will do our part and become the kind of people the Imperial Master and the Emperor hope for." Lan Pingwei is also a good official, so he naturally understands what the Imperial Master in front of him means.

After all, this is a person that even the emperor and the empress dowager value.

After a pause, Li Ye looked at him and said seriously: "I have an idea, you have to be prepared..."

During this conversation, the two of them had their lunch brought to the living room by someone from the mansion, and they continued chatting until half past midnight. It was not until Lan Pingwei fully understood what he meant that Li Ye was ready to leave.

Seeing Li Ye preparing to leave, Lan Pingwei couldn't help but said: "Master Imperial Master can live in the house, it is convenient and quiet here."

Li Ye walked to the door, looked at the endless mountains of Fangcun Mountain, shook his head and said: "I'll go to the old place, my apprentice is still waiting for me to go back for dinner."

After thinking for a long time, Lan Pingwei asked seriously: "That matter?"

"You can prepare it now. If you don't have enough silver, you can report it to the imperial city and say it's my wish. The emperor will naturally grant you the silver you need. In short, get things done."

Lan Pingwei nodded. For him, these things were all things he had done before, and there were no big problems.

"If such a day comes, I hope that I can stand beside the Imperial Guard and fight the enemy together on the battlefield!"

Looking at Li Ye walking out, Lan Pingwei replied seriously.

"Okay, I've said enough for today. Don't come to me if you have nothing to do. I'm very busy."

After explaining what he wanted to say, Li Ye left the mansion master's compound and got on the carriage arranged for him by Lan Pingwei.

He raised his head and glanced at the sky, thinking that he should find a place to buy some food for his precious apprentice to take back.

When leaving the gate of the Nangong family, he did not forget Nangong Yu'er's explanation.
