The more Xu Qingluo and the four of them studied and discussed, the more difficult this task became.
Emperor Dayun Hu Lieyuan was a powerful figure.
If another group of experts are sent to investigate the news of these four dead soldiers, I am afraid not many people will be sent. Once something is discovered, they may assassinate these four traitors, or they may not take action.
Therefore, we must first find out his attitude and thoughts towards dead soldiers, and how Chu Xiong would respond if he encountered such a situation.
Although these emperors were different, with different temperaments and personalities, they had the same reaction to some things, which could be exploited.
Chu Ling sided with Xingnan Peak without hesitation in this matter.
After Xu Qingluo left, the four of them sat quietly at the stone table in the courtyard in silence.
After a long while, the middle-aged man in charge sighed and said: "Now that things have happened, there is no need to regret it anymore. Becoming a servant of Xingnan Temple is actually not bad."
Another middle-aged man with a round face said with a smile: "I think it's good too. Staying here forever, it's quiet and peaceful, and we don't have to worry about our lifespan anymore."
The other two nodded.
They have been living in suffering these years.
Although I have lost sight of life and death, death is death. It does not mean that I am no longer afraid because I have lost sight of it. It is just that the fear is a little more lost. It still exists. If you can avoid dying, that would be great.
They had no choice in Dayun. They became servants of Xingnan Temple, and they no longer had to worry or fear.
They believe that Xingnan Peak can protect them.
"The imperial court will definitely find a way to kill us."
"I don't think so."
"If the news that we are safe and sound here is sent back, they will definitely be anxious. How could the court allow such a situation to happen? So they will definitely send someone here."
"How could they kill us here?" A thin middle-aged man shook his head and smiled.
He is now familiar with the Rejuvenation Spell and can cast it skillfully.
As soon as I have an idea, I start reciting it immediately, and soon I feel the rejuvenation mantra, and my body recovers quickly.
In Xingnan Peak, unless you are killed instantly, you will not die. Even if your heart is injured, you can survive.
What's more, the one who can kill him in an instant must be a grand master, and a grand master cannot hide his traces. He will not be able to move so freely and has no chance to kill himself.
They also have another way to deal with it, which is to recite the rejuvenation mantra in their hearts all the time, and keep the rejuvenation mantra on themselves, no matter how serious the injury is, they are not afraid.
After they had the Rejuvenation Spell, they felt at peace and no longer worried. It was a sense of peace and serenity that they had never experienced before, which made them extremely intoxicated.
The middle-aged man in charge smiled and said: "But they don't know the situation here, so they will definitely send someone over."
"Then we will have more companions."
"This is a good thing and more lively."
"I also think it's a good thing. It's best for everyone to come over and get together, as if it's the same as before. That's the real beauty!"
They have lived together since the beginning and have become accustomed to each other's presence.
More importantly, they faced the end of death at the age of sixty together, comforted each other, relied on each other, and supported each other until now. This kind of relationship is very deep.
It would be a truly wonderful day if we could reunite at Xingnan Peak and resume our old lives without having to bear the fear of the past.
"But seeing that neither group of people have gone back, the imperial court may not dare to send any more people. After all, we are considered precious and very useful."
"Any ideas?"
"Ask Master Fakong for help."
"...Why did this matter turn around?" The middle-aged man in front of him shook his head and sighed: "He should have begged us, but now it's us who beg him."
"Now, we are already servants of Xingnan Temple," the thin middle-aged man said with a smile: "Old Zhou, you still need to adjust your mind and you can't use the same ideas as before."
"Exactly." The other two agreed.
My identity is different now. I am now a servant of Xingnan Temple and a member of Master Fakong. I must completely obey Master Fakong and no longer be the enemy before.
"……Fine."
"I can't wait for everyone to be reunited."
On the huge Xingnan Peak, there were only four of them in a group, and their hearts were not always so stable. If there were more people accompanying them, then they would be completely at ease and it would be the best days.
——
The next morning, when Xu Qingluo and the four of them arrived at Xingnan Peak, they found four dead men waiting outside their monastery.
Xu Qingluo invited the four of them into her monastery, came to a small pavilion in the spacious courtyard, and sat down to talk.
Before Zhou Yu boiled the tea, the four of them had already explained their intentions.
"Can you please help us?" Xu Qingluo said curiously: "If you have something to do, it doesn't matter."
"We want to meet the master in person." Zhou Qi, the middle-aged man in charge, said calmly.
"Master is not here these days," Xu Qingluo shook her head and said, "It will take a while before he can come back. If you have anything, you can tell me directly. I really can't do it. It's not too late to tell Master."
"...You can tell Miss Xu," Zhou Qi told the four of them what they thought.
"Should we recruit the rest of you?"
"It's not difficult to do it with the magical power of the monk Fa Kong, right?"
"Master just has magical powers, not omnipotence!" Xu Qingluo shook her head and said: "It's very difficult to recruit them here. After all, there are quite a few of them, right?"
"One hundred and thirty-six people."
"There are so many people and the target is too big. Dayun will definitely hunt him down. I'm afraid I won't be able to escape the territory of Dayun before being chased." Xu Qingluo frowned: "Who do you belong to..."
"We are affiliated to the Ye Ming Division of the imperial court," Zhou Qi said, "We are not under the jurisdiction of any bureaucracy in the imperial court, but we have the power to mobilize any bureaucracy."
"Ye Mingsi..." Xu Qingluo turned to look at Chu Ling and the others.
Chu Ling and the other three shook their heads.
They have never heard of this Ye Mingsi.
"Father didn't mention it either." Chu Ling frowned and said, "Don't you know about this Ye Mingsi?"
"The existence of Ye Mingsi is extremely confidential, and only a few people among the courtiers know about it," Zhou Qi shook his head and said, "It is impossible for outsiders to know."
"Ye Mingsi..." Chu Ling shook his head and said, "Then you are following the orders of Emperor Dayun?"
"Obey the orders of the left and right prime ministers."
"What about the Emperor?"
"That's not what we know." Zhou Qi said: "The emperor may know it, or he may not know it."
"It seems that they may not know that you are dispatched." Xu Qingluo said.
Zhou Qi was silent.
They just follow orders and don't get to the bottom of things.
Xu Qingluo said: "How can we get them all to come over?... We sent people over to lure them over, but they may not believe it."
"The four of us will write four letters to them. After seeing the letters, they will believe it."
"...Not necessarily." Xu Qingluo shook her head: "You overestimate your own credibility, and they have not gone to Xingnan Peak, so it is not easy to see their own hearts."
The four of them were able to betray Dayun so quickly because they were extremely sharp in the environment of Xingnan Peak. How could the decades of faith be easily shaken outside of Xingnan Peak?
Therefore, the letter from the four of them may not be effective, and may even arouse the suspicion of everyone in the Ye Ming Division, so this method is not feasible.
"..." Zhou Qi frowned, feeling that Xu Qingluo's words made sense.
He looked at his three companions, and they also frowned.
This is indeed a simple thing to think about, but it is too difficult to actually realize it.
