After leaving the imperial city, Qin Shaoyou said goodbye to the eunuch who wanted to be his godfather and returned directly to the Demon Suppression Division.
Seeing that he came back safe and sound, Qin Qiaoer breathed a sigh of relief.
Cui Yougui, Zhu Xiucai and others were also at the headquarters of the Demon Suppression Division at this moment. They learned about his entry into the palace and were relieved to see that he had returned safely.
Just as they were about to ask about the situation in the palace, they saw Qin Shaoyou quietly gesture to them, asking them to be calm.
Everyone's hearts skipped a beat, and they all closed their mouths and said nothing.
Qin Shaoyou went straight to the lobby of the Demon Suppression Division headquarters and placed a stick of incense on the statue of Jiutiandang Demon Patriarch enshrined here.
The curls of green smoke stretched out from the incense burner like tentacles and drifted into Qin Shaoyou's ears.
After a while, a little man about the size of a grain of rice, covered in pitch black, and ugly as an evil ghost, was wrapped in green smoke and pulled out from Qin Shaoyou's ear.
The little man in the blue smoke has blurry eyes, as if he is hypnotized.
When Qin Shaoyou saw this scene, he immediately sneered and said: "I knew that the bald donkey would definitely not fail to act when he saw me."
"Is this a ghost in your ears?"
Cui Youyou, who was well-informed, recognized the identity of the villain in Qingyan and said with surprise:
"Sir, weren't you summoned to the palace? Why did you meet the monk? Which monk is so bold as to dare to trick you and spy on you?"
"Who else could it be? Of course it would be our old friend, the 'see you tomorrow' monk."
There was no one else in the lobby at this moment, and the statue of Jiutiandang Demon Patriarch was helping to cover it up. Qin Shaoyou was not afraid that what he said would be eavesdropped, so he told everything he discovered during his trip to the palace.
After listening, everyone's expressions were quite shocked.
After all, before this, everyone only knew that Emperor Jianwu was obsessed with cultivating immortals, but they did not expect that in order to become an immortal and live forever, he went so far as to become obsessed with it.
I never expected that the chief minister of the cabinet, who was quite prestigious in the court, was actually the master of the Black Lotus Sect!
They had laughed at Qingtang before, but now it seems that the difference between Daxia and Qingtang is basically fifty steps and hundred steps...
No one is necessarily better than anyone else.
"Before, we all thought that the 'See You Tomorrow' monks provoked the war between Qingtang and Daxia and destroyed the dragon veins of Qingtang in order to kill people and practice and achieve a higher fruition. Now it seems that their goal is much more than
That’s it.”
"I really didn't expect that Mr. Zheng Ge was actually the 'See You Tomorrow' monk. It was in vain that I had always regarded him as an idol before. His character has completely collapsed..."
"In my opinion, the 'see you tomorrow' monk must be a dove occupying a magpie's nest."
After thinking about it for a while, Qin Qiaoer said.
"How to say?"
Many people who asked why were Qin Shaoyou, but Zhu Xiucai, who regarded Zheng Yayuan as his idol.
Qin Qiaoer didn't show off, and quickly expressed his findings and judgment:
"In the past few days since I returned to Beijing, I have been checking the information in Beijing.
One of the sources said that last month, Mr. Zheng Ge was summoned to the palace by Emperor Jianwu to talk for a whole night.
After returning from the palace, Zheng Gelao stayed behind closed doors to recuperate for a few days, and then he changed from his normal behavior. Instead of opposing Emperor Jianwu's cultivation of immortality, he helped Emperor Jianwu collect the guide for cultivation.
For this reason, many imperial envoys impeached him in public, and many officials in the court also discussed privately, speculating that Mr. Zheng Ge had been given some kind of drug by Emperor Jianwu, and he was not safe at night...
Now it seems that Mr. Zheng Ge was not drugged, but was directly replaced by the "see you tomorrow" monk who is good at changing!
The real Mr. Zheng Ge may have died in the palace... Maybe the human flesh and blood that Shaoyou smelled in the alchemy furnace today belonged to Mr. Zheng Ge!"
"Last month? The timing was right."
Qin Shaoyou frowned slightly and started thinking quickly.
"So, after Monk 'See You Tomorrow' was severely injured by us at Qingtang, he fled all the way back to Daxia and found Emperor Jianwu for help. Then they murdered Mr. Zheng Ge and used his flesh and blood to make elixirs to help
'See you tomorrow' Monk treated his injuries and restored his cultivation..."
Qin Qiaoer thought so too, but she still had a question in her mind.
"There is one thing I can't understand. Emperor Jianwu was cold-blooded, so why was he willing to help Monk 'See You Tomorrow'?"
After Qin Shaoyou pondered for a while, he expressed his thoughts:
"This shows that 'See you tomorrow' monk is useful to him, even very useful.
I guess that Emperor Jianwu wanted to get rid of Mr. Zheng Ge for a long time, but he never found a good opportunity.
After all, Zheng Ge was always a senior figure in the court, with extremely high status and prestige, and a high level of Confucianism. Even if Emperor Jianwu hated him, he would not dare to take action rashly.
However, the monk "See You Tomorrow" is good at changing things. If he pretends to be Mr. Zheng Ge, even the ministers in the court who have a piercing eye and the ability to observe the subtleties cannot tell the difference.
At the same time, by pretending to be the empress of Zhengge, Monk ‘See You Tomorrow’ could help Emperor Jianwu in many matters, and even help him take the blame and distract the official’s firepower…”
"It makes some sense." Qin Qiaoer nodded in agreement.
Before Qin Shaoyou finished speaking, he continued:
"In addition, the war in Qingtang was started by the monk 'See You Tomorrow'. The dragon veins in Qingtang were also destroyed by the monk 'See You Tomorrow'. He is likely to play a role in the upcoming sacrifice.
Very important role.
If Emperor Jianwu wants the sacrifice to be completed successfully, to feed the crazy gods in the Blood Moon, and to get fairy books, elixirs, etc. from their hands, he must help Monk 'See You Tomorrow'."
When Zhu Xiucai heard this, his eyes lit up, and he keenly discovered the key: "If this is true, then the 'see you tomorrow' monk and Emperor Jianwu are using each other, not monolithic. We may be able to take advantage of it."
Qin Qiaoer, after studying it carefully, nodded slowly: "This makes sense... What should we do next?"
"Still have to destroy the fairy book!"
Cui Youwei was the first to say that his views on this issue were consistent with Qin Shaoyou's.
"Emperor Jianwu helped us arrange the reasons for not being present, we can't let him down."
Zhu Xiucai added: "What the old Taoist said is right. But this time, we not only want to destroy the fairy book, but also kill the 'see you tomorrow' monk. We must not let him escape again. And killing him will also destroy the
Sacrifice of Emperor Jianwu."
This pair of Crouching Dragon and Phoenix chicks rarely gave good advice. Qin Shaoyou nodded and said: "You're right, that's what I planned. But before we do these things, we have to find a way to spread some news."
"What news are you spreading?"
Zhu Xiucai asked if he was good at this job.
Qin Shaoyou said in a deep voice: "It is said that Emperor Jianwu killed Zhongliang and used human flesh and blood to refine the evil elixir. The chief minister of the cabinet was killed by the demon of the Black Lotus Sect, and he pretended to be the one to harm Chao Gang..."
Zhu Xiucai was startled.
"Wouldn't this alert the enemy?"
"It's just to alert the enemy."
Qin Shaoyou said: "Emperor Jianwu and Monk 'See You Tomorrow' must be allowed to cause chaos. Only when people are anxious and chaotic will their flaws be exposed."
"Then will they doubt us?"
"We have only been in Beijing for a few days, and they would never have thought that we could find out these secrets. Even if they were suspicious, they would definitely suspect that there was a mole around them."
"What about the Hanlin Academy? Will it strengthen its arrangements because of this?"
"The Hanlin Academy has been disturbed once a long time ago. Are there still few arrangements? Maybe we can use this incident to divert their attention, so that we can successfully complete the task."
