In the Dengxian Hall, except Emperor Jianwu, there was no one else.
Even the eunuchs were sent out by him and were waiting outside the palace.
But after Emperor Jianwu asked the question, a metallic voice sounded in the Ascension Hall.
“There’s truth and there’s lies.”
This voice came from the red-hot alchemy furnace in front of Emperor Jianwu.
The lines on the furnace wall twisted and changed, turning into a human face with a strange aura, and it was unclear whether it was a man or a woman.
Emperor Jianwu was not frightened by this scene.
He looked at the faces on the furnace wall and continued to ask: "Which sentence is true and which sentence is false?"
"These people are too powerful. If you want to tell which of their words are true and which are false, you have to feed me more people."
The human face on the alchemy furnace is licking its lips, imagining the taste of human flesh and blood, and its expression is both ferocious and vulgar.
"Or if you catch them, throw them into my body, and let me eat them, I can also tell you which of their words are true and which of them are lies."
Emperor Jianwu squinted his eyes and seemed to be seriously considering the alchemy furnace's request.
After a while, he spoke again and said slowly: "Now is not the time to kill them, and they cannot be given to you to eat. The big sacrifice is about to begin, and I must ensure that the sacrifices are sufficient... If the time comes,
If the god in the blood moon has any leftovers, he can give you a bite."
The human face on the alchemy furnace stopped saying anything, probably because he was dissatisfied with Emperor Jianwu's answer, and quickly changed back to the ordinary alchemy furnace decoration.
Emperor Jianwu stopped talking and sat on the high platform, his face flickering in the light of the fire. He didn't know what he was thinking.
On the other side, Lu Bing and others did not speak to each other after leaving the Dengxian Hall.
Just like that, he walked out of the palace.
The eunuchs responsible for escorting them out of the palace noticed something was wrong in the atmosphere and lowered their heads one after another, fearing that these people would vent their anger on them.
It wasn't until he left the palace that Wei Bao broke the dull atmosphere.
He cupped his hands towards Xu Jianzheng and said with a smile: "Master Xu, I will go back to the editing factory and select a few smart people to go to Qintian Prison to listen to your orders. I don't know what you think about this candidate.
do you have any requests?"
"Master Wei, you are so polite. What can I ask for?"
Supervisor Xu responded with a straight smile.
Regarding his reaction, Wei Bao laughed and didn't care.
It's normal for Inspector Xu to be resentful. If he wasn't resentful, Wei Bao would be suspicious.
At the same time, Luo An also said to Lu Bing with a fake smile: "Master Lu, your Majesty has named you to participate in the Ancestral Temple's project, so you have to worry more."
Lu Bing glanced at Luo An and responded with a fake smile: "Don't worry, Mr. Luo, I will do my best under your leadership."
He knew very well that Emperor Jianwu was suspicious of him, so he sent him an errand but did not restore his official position.
Rather than saying that Emperor Jianwu wanted him to participate in the investigation, it would be better to say that he wanted Luo An to send someone to follow him legitimately.
The external explanation was naturally to send people to investigate with him. But in fact, these people were sent to monitor him.
As expected, Luo An then said: "Master Lu said this, how can I dare to lead you? Let's do this, I will send a few people to Master Lu to wait for dispatch and assist you in the investigation."
Lu Bing chuckled lightly, cupped his hands and said thank you.
He didn't refuse.
Because he knew that refusing would be useless, and it might even make Luo An and Emperor Jianwu take other actions.
Several people quickly parted outside the palace.
From beginning to end, Lu Bing did not speak to Xu Jianzheng.
Luo An and Wei Bao didn't pay attention to this.
After all, Lu Bing and Xu Jianzheng have always been at odds with each other. They did not start a fight when they met, so they were already very restrained.
They didn't notice that Lu Bing and Supervisor Xu had their eyes crossed as they were parting.
This is to remind the other person to be careful with your eyes.
Lu Bing and Xu Jianzheng were both smart people. From the series of actions of Emperor Jianwu, they had already deduced that Emperor Jianwu was suspicious of them. If the big sacrifice was not approaching, he would take action against them for fear of affecting the progress of the sacrifice.
Already...
The two of them even wondered whether Emperor Jianwu kept them so that he could have two more sacrifices when he offered sacrifices to the crazy god in the Blood Moon?
After leaving the palace, Lu Bing went straight home.
Although at this time, the editor who came to investigate had already left, Lu Bing still noticed something unusual as soon as he entered the house.
He remained calm and asked the old servant at home: "After I entered the palace, did anyone come to the house to look for me?"
The old servant shook his head: "As for me, no one will come."
Lu Bing hummed and didn't ask any more questions. He was convinced that not only did someone break into his house before, but they even used supernatural objects or some kind of magic to erase the relevant memories of his family.
Fortunately, he didn't tell his family what he had done, so the people who came to his door couldn't find out anything about him.
But this incident also reminded Lu Bing.
As the big festival approaches, Emperor Jianwu becomes more and more anxious and may do something crazy.
He had to find a way to relocate his family.
While Lu Bing was thinking about countermeasures in his mind, he was worried about the situation on Qin Shaoyou's side.
When he left the palace, he saw a group of eunuchs from the Pure Army galloping back to the palace, saying they had discovered something outside the city.
I don’t know if Qin Shaoyou and the other three were exposed? Did they avoid the search by the eunuchs of the Jing Army? I don’t know if the three of them found anything in the Ancestral Temple? Did they find out the whereabouts of Prince Sixiu?
Just when Lu Bing was worried, Qin Shaoyou and the others stayed at an inn in a county in the west of Beijing.
Qin Shaoyou has already used the human skin mask to change his appearance.
Even if the man in black robe came here holding the skull and saw him, he would not be able to recognize that he was the one who controlled the ink-dot eyes to break into the Ancestral Temple.
In the inn room, Cui Youwei skillfully arranged soundproofing, anti-peeping and other spells.
Seeing this, Yun Lu also took action.
He first observed the layout and furnishings inside and outside the room, then changed the position and orientation of several items in the room, and then took out a palm-sized Bagua mirror and hung it on the beam in the room.
But with the help of the Feng Shui of this place, a blindfold was set up so that people outside could not pry into the real situation inside the house.
While Cui Youxian and Yun Lu were busy, Qin Shaoyou was not idle either.
He took out his talisman pen, splashed ink around the room, and redrawn the scrolls one after another with his skillful brushwork.
After Cui Youxian finished casting the spell, he came over and asked, "Sir, how is the situation in the place we hid before? Has anyone been there?"
"have."
Although Qin Shaoyou didn't see what happened in the woods, he sensed something through the trap he set.
"The skeleton pretending to be Sixiu has also gone."
"Is there really anyone going there? Mr. Qin really knows his enemies well."
Yun Lu gave a thumbs up, admiring Qin Shaoyou's caution.
Cui Yougui was concerned about another thing: "Have those people been killed?"
"We haven't been able to kill them all. There are still experts among the Pure Army, and our purpose is to deepen their suspicion of the Black Lotus. If we kill them all, how can we get them to pass this information back?"
At this time, Qin Shaoyou finished drawing the scroll, put away the talisman brush, and called Cui Youshen and Yun Lu:
"Come here and help. Carefully check the reconnaissance footage sent back by Mo Dot's eyes. If you find anything, tell me immediately."
When Qin Shaoyou finished speaking, pictures immediately appeared on the scrolls.
It was exactly the scenes that Mo Dianyan had detected inside the Imperial Ancestral Temple.
It turns out that these scrolls can not only be monitored in real time, but can also be replayed afterwards?
