"What about this ginseng fruit? If you eat three of them, you will almost live as long as heaven and earth. Naturally, it will be the same as the gods in heaven. Even though you don't need to ascend, you are already a fairy." Lu Bai deliberately said in a plain tone.
The emperor and eunuch Bai were speechless now.
Their eyes were wide open, their mouths were wide enough to fit a duck egg in, and they stared blankly at Lu Bai.
Lu Bai still looked calm.
He still felt that it was not enough. He felt that since it was just bragging, he should simply brag louder. Others would be so angry that they would not dare to brag. "To be honest with the emperor, the Taoist practices practiced by my sect are still transmitted from heavenly immortals."
"There is a tree in the middle of the island where my sect is located, called Jianmu. Our ancestor often goes up and down Jianmu to go and drink with the Emperor of Heaven. Our sect is not much different from the fairyland." Lu Bai said clearly.
The emperor and eunuch Bai looked at each other.
Then the emperor chuckled and said, "It seems that Lord Lu's sect is really amazing. If there is a chance, I will definitely visit Lord Lu's ancestor Zhen Yuanzi in person."
The ancestor of the earthly immortals.
I have to say, this name still resonates with people.
Lu Bai did not refuse, "If there is a chance, I will definitely recommend him to the emperor. It's just that every day in the sky and a year on the earth, the ancestor is often active in the sky, so I don't have many opportunities to see him."
After finishing the gossip, Lu Bai stared at the case file and list in the emperor's hand, "Your Majesty, how should we deal with this case now?"
The emperor withdrew his gaze and glanced at the list in front of him again, "Mr. Lu, you need evidence when handling a case. You have no evidence and you arrested him just because Dongchang Changgong once recommended a hundred households. This is very against the rules.
, not to mention that he is also the owner of the East Factory and is responsible for supervising the Jinyiwei."
The emperor raised his head and looked at Lu Bai, "Not to mention, you only relied on a list of names confessed by Dongchang Changchang. You neither caught the thief or caught the stolen goods, nor did you have any real evidence to let me make a decision. It would be a bit too hasty."
Lu Bai admitted.
He has not found any strong evidence in this case. The only evidence chain is either broken or dead. The only evidence he has is the one that he coerced the owner of Dongchang Factory to reveal.
But Lu Bai felt that the existing evidence at least gave Lu Bai reason to investigate the inner study hall.
"Your Majesty, Zhu Liu and Tan Desi have hundreds of child skeletons in their manors, and the pork in the palace was sent to the palace from these two manors. If we don't find out what's going on, I'm afraid it will be harmful to the Emperor.
The sage is damaged." Lu Bai replied forcefully.
He even moved out Tan Desi, "Your Majesty, although Tan Desi is dying now, he is still alive. He personally told me that the flesh and blood of the child is hidden in the pork!"
Of course Tan Desi didn't say anything, but that didn't affect Lu Bai saying it for him.
Seeing that the emperor still didn't speak, Lu Bai continued: "Your Majesty, I have found out that the theft of the emperor's inner treasury was caused by this group of people who used the child-eating demon case to threaten the father-in-law in the palace. Otherwise, with only some craftsmen, they could have
Are you able to dig a secret passage in the palace and quietly empty out His Majesty's inner treasury?"
He felt that even if he cherished his money, the emperor should check it out.
It seems that these words really moved the emperor.
"That's right." He put down the confession and list in his hand, "The father-in-laws in the palace should hammer it down, otherwise sooner or later they will become lawless."
He rubbed his chin and thought for a while, and finally decided: "Okay, then let's arrest the people according to the list provided by Mr. Lu. Mr. Lu will handle the case personally, and Eunuch Zhu Bai of the inner study hall will assist, so as to avoid causing some unnecessary problems."
misunderstanding."
"yes!"
Eunuch Bai bowed and obeyed.
Lu Bai did not expect that the emperor would agree so simply, so he agreed after being stunned for a while.
Eunuch Bai turned around and said, "Master Lu, please?"
A gentle smile appeared on his face again, "My inner study hall is now open to Mr. Lu. I also ask Mr. Lu to help me catch the moths in it."
Lu Bai nodded, but had no intention of leaving.
He bowed his hand to the emperor again, "Your Majesty, my Haoqi Gate stands on the top of the snow-capped mountains. You can experience almost four seasons from top to bottom. It is an excellent tourist destination. By chance, my aunt is going to take care of the affairs of the sect and wants to invite the Queen Mother.
Let’s move to the mountain gate to live for a while, take in the beautiful scenery, and talk about the sisterhood together.”
Lu Bai nodded towards the emperor, "I hope your majesty will agree."
The emperor immediately understood what Lu Bai was planning, he just wanted the Queen Mother to leave him.
"Ah!"
The emperor sneered in his heart, feeling a little displeased.
He didn't expect that as soon as he made a concession, Lu Bai would reach out his hand to the Queen Mother. His hand was a bit too long.
However, he did not show it, but sighed and wondered: "After hearing that Shuobeihou's mountain gate was built overnight, and the scenery was unique, I also wanted to see that rare scene. But it's a pity -
"
He shook his head, "I'm busy with government affairs, so I'm afraid I won't be able to spare the time. It would be good to let the Queen Mother go, but -"
He shook his head again, "The Queen Mother occasionally feels cold. She is resting these days. I'm afraid she won't be able to work in boats or carriages, let alone go to the snow-capped mountains to enjoy the snow scenery."
Seeing the emperor's refusal, Lu Bai still did not give up, "What a coincidence. To be honest with your majesty, Lu Bai is also proficient in medical skills. I saved Tan Desi after he took poison, and I was able to save the Queen Mother with ease."
He asked again, "Your Majesty, don't worry. I will definitely cure the Queen Mother's illness and let the Queen Mother and her aunt have a good time."
The emperor's eyes turned cold.
Lu Bai didn't know how to flatter him, he was making up his mind to interfere in his and the Queen Mother's affairs.
His tone became stiff, "Marquis Shuobei should concentrate on investigating the case. Marquis Shuobei should not worry about the queen's illness. As for the fun, let's discuss it in the future. We can't run away wherever the snow-capped mountains are."
Lu Bai still didn't retreat.
He looked at the emperor and smiled softly, "The queen mother's illness will be better if she can relax. As the emperor's mother, the emperor should know that this is an opportunity."
It’s going to be bad!
Eunuch Bai's heart sank.
In the past, the emperor might have been arguing with Lu Bai, but since the emperor drank the fairy wine, greatly improved his realm, and had the courage to sleep with the Queen Mother, the emperor's self-esteem and temper have been inflated.
Now that Lu Bai is so stubborn, he will undoubtedly arouse the emperor's anger.
He hurriedly winked at the emperor, hoping that he would be patient. Now was not the time to lose his temper with Lu Bai.
However, the emperor didn't even see his eyes.
Snapped!
He patted the armrest of the dragon chair and stood up, "Master Lu, are you saying that it would be unfilial for me not to let my mother relax?"
Lu Bai lowered his hand perfunctorily, "I didn't say that. The emperor can be called a wise king if he can wake up on his own!"
"you!"
The emperor's face was ashen.
Lu Bai's words were clearly a slap in the face.
Arrogant!
The emperor was so angry that his face became distorted. He gritted his teeth and was about to speak when Eunuch Bai hurriedly came out to smooth things over, "Your Majesty, although what Mr. Lu said was inappropriate, he also had good intentions."
He turned to Lu Bai and said, "Master Lu, the Queen Mother's cold is almost gone. It's not necessary to delay her for a day or two. It's better to wait."
Lu Bai looked like he was doing it for the Queen Mother's good, "The Queen Mother's illness cannot be cured in the palace." Gu
"Shuo Beihou!"
The emperor was completely angry now. He walked down from the dragon chair quickly, like a boiling kettle, steam was about to come out of his ears, "The queen mother is a matter of the inner court, don't you think you have too much control.
"
Lu Bai also had something to say.
"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother's illness is the harem's disease, and the harem's disease is the world's disease. I have no reason not to take the Queen Mother's illness to heart." He was neither humble nor arrogant, and allowed the emperor to rush in front of him, but still said without flinching.
His eyes were staring straight at the emperor.
He is taller than the emperor, so he feels like he is looking down.
This made the emperor very unhappy.
Eunuch Bai now understood that Gu Qinghuan probably gave Lu Bai a death order and asked Lu Bai to take the Queen Mother out of the palace.
Eunuch Bai thought the emperor's move was a bad move.
However, he couldn't stop the emperor's sperm from getting into his head, so he could only watch this ridiculous thing happen.
But in his heart, he hoped that this matter would stop.
After all, the Supreme Emperor is still alive. If word spreads, it will be like an atomic bomb exploding, with disastrous consequences.
It would be good to let the Queen Mother go out for a walk now. Maybe the Emperor changed after his persuasion.
So he walked over and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, Mr. Lu's disciples can even make people immortal. It's not easy to cure the Queen Mother's cold. I think you can let the Queen Mother go out to relax. The Queen Mother will stay for three to five days.
Just came back."
He deliberately emphasized the word "immortality" and winked at the emperor when he said, "I'll be back in three to five days."
The emperor finally calmed down.
He also thought that now was not the time to offend Lu Bai. He still wanted to rely on Lu Bai for his immortality.
Besides, it’s not like the Queen Mother will not come back if she goes out to relax.
Finally, after thinking about it, he calmed down, suppressed his anger towards Lu Baimu's disrespect, forced out a smile and said: "In this case, I will not reject Mr. Lu's kindness, but this matter is still too late.
make a decision."
He told the maid who was as insignificant as a piece of wood beside him, "Go and ask the Queen Mother."
The maid took the order and went.
Lu Bai then smiled and bowed, said goodbye to the emperor, and was going to go to the inner study hall with Eunuch Bai to arrest people and investigate the case.
Eunuch Bai asked his eunuchs to lead Lu Bai first, while he stayed behind because he knew that the emperor had something to say.
Sure enough, as soon as Lu Bai left, the emperor became furious. He threw all the tea cups on the table and Bai's vase next to him. He also tore down all the curtains and shouted angrily: "Who is he, Lu Bai, to give him this gift?"
With just a little wink from him, he would dare to open a dyeing workshop and dare to point his fingers at my affairs!"
Eunuch Bai did not speak, but stood aside and pretended to be a fool, quietly waiting for the emperor to vent his anger.
After he had nothing to throw down, the emperor finally decided to calm down.
He sneered, "Huh, do you think you can escape from my grasp like this? As the Queen Mother, can she never return to the palace?"
He straightened his messy clothes and said, "She is his aunt's sister. So, doesn't he have to call me uncle!"
Eunuch Bai's brows twitched, but he still said nothing.
"Sooner or later, I have to find an opportunity to kill him, Lu Bai's spirit, and let him know that I am the emperor, the supreme emperor of the Ninth Five Years, and the son of the Emperor of Heaven. Let's see if he dares to contradict me!" The emperor was obviously still concerned about Lu Bai's move just now.
He was angry at not giving in, and he couldn't swallow this breath.
Eunuch Bai finally spoke this time.
"Your Majesty, Marquis Shuo Bei is now sitting at the Haoqi Gate Mountain Gate. There are thirteen masters of the Ascension Realm under his sect. Behind him is the mysterious Pangu Island. These forces are among the best even among the eight major sects."
He didn’t say anything about survival, but his meaning was very clear:
Now Lu Bai is definitely not a piece of fish that can be manipulated by others, but a knife.
This knife is not inferior to the Eight Great Sects.
If you handle this knife easily and recklessly, you may injure yourself.
"snort!"
The emperor snorted coldly.
He didn't know this, but the things Lu Bai was doing now were either against Nei Shutang or against him, and he had already given in one by one. If he continued to give in, he might as well let Lu Bai do the throne.
However, if he is angry.
In fact, what really made him make concessions was Chang Sheng.
As an ancestor who had no talent in cultivation and whose father had offended the heaven, it was not easy for their group to ascend. If they wanted to live forever, they had only Lu Bai to rely on.
He sighed deeply and sat back on the throne.
Eunuch Bai hurriedly waved to the eunuchs and maids waiting outside, asking them to clean up the mess in the hall.
"Do you think what Lu Bai just said is true or false?" the emperor asked.
Eunuch Bai was very good at figuring out the emperor's thoughts. He asked: "Your Majesty is asking about Mr. Lu's sect?"
The emperor nodded.
Eunuch Bai did not answer, but asked, "Your Majesty, do you think what Mr. Lu said is all false?"
The emperor shook his head, "Impossible."
Many people have seen Lu Bai's move to summon the gods from the sky, and they have also investigated the night when he moved mountains and raised tall buildings. Although he has not really seen the so-called thirteenth gentleman of the Haoqi Sect, there is no doubt that the realm of the second gentleman is perfect.
Therefore, it is true that the realm of the twelve gentlemen may be in the Ascension Realm.
There are so many Ascension Realm cultivators gathered in Lu Baihao's Qimen. If what Lu Bai said just now is false, the Emperor will never believe it.
Eunuch Bai asked again, "Does Your Majesty think everything Marquis Lu said is true?"
The emperor still shook his head, "Not entirely."
What Lu Bai said was too ridiculous.
Not to mention the fact that eating a ginseng fruit can increase one's lifespan by 10,000 years, but just mentioning that Lu Bai's ancestor is known as the ancestor of the earthly immortals and is his brother to the Emperor of Heaven. From time to time, he would follow Jianmu to the sky to have a drink and talk with the Emperor of Heaven. The emperor thought it was fake.
of.
They had never heard of Jianmu, let alone that the Emperor of Heaven had brothers.
Therefore, although Lu Bai always said that the Patriarch was the brother of the Emperor of Heaven, people never thought it was true.
The emperor doesn't think so now either.
If the Emperor of Heaven had brothers, how could they not be mentioned in many myths and legends in the world?
Even the Taoist priests of Peach Blossom Temple and the practitioners of the Eight Great Sects, who can hear ascended seniors whispering in their ears from time to time in their dreams, have never heard that the Emperor of Heaven has a younger brother.
Therefore, the emperor felt that Lu Bai was definitely bragging.
"Maybe it's just a god in the sky who can travel between heaven and earth." He thought.
Eunuch Bai nodded happily, "The most difficult lies to detect in this world are half-truths and half-falsehoods. Mr. Lu knows this well."
