Chu Xiang said with a smile: "I have been troublesome Master all the time. I have to show something, otherwise I will feel uneasy."
Fakong laughed and said, "Forget about the things. Just give me something to do, Your Majesty."
"There is really no other way this time," Chu Xiang said with a helpless smile: "Master's injury and Lao Zeng's life, I can only choose the lesser of two evils."
"Even if Si Zheng can't finish it, he won't die, right?"
"Alas——!" Chu Xiang shook his head: "Master, you don't know something. Lao Zeng has issued a military order. If it is not completed, he will raise his head. This is not a joke."
Fakong frowned: "Why is this necessary?"
Chu Xiang said: "Second brother is talking to each other. Second brother is not what he used to be. He is eager to merge the Green Clothes Department into the Southern Supervision Department. My father is also very moved. Lao Zeng does not want to be merged into the Southern Supervision Department."
, we can only work hard."
Fakong shook his head and said: "Combining two into one? The emperor won't agree, right?"
If the two were to be merged into one, why would the Department of Green Coat be merged into the Southern Supervision Department in the first place? They could just be merged into the Southern Supervision Department together.
"Now we have three heads standing side by side. The Shenwu Palace is a little better. I'm here to hold it down and don't mind my own business. However, the Southern Supervision Department and the Green Clothes Department are too internally conflicted. If they were combined into one, it would be enough to have the Shenwu Palace to check and balance them."
, Father feels that Dayun is eyeing the enemy, and it is not appropriate to engage in further internal strife."
Fakong nodded slowly.
From one moment to the next, Dayun now showed a strong attitude and the ability to mobilize troops at any time, which also brought great pressure to the emperor.
Chu Xiang smiled and said: "I have put a lot of effort into this treasure. Master, please take a look and see if you are satisfied or not."
"What treasure?" Fakong found that his mind's eye could not see it.
This red sandalwood box is not an ordinary wooden box, it is unique and mysterious.
"Just open it and take a look." Chu Xiang said.
Fa Kong was not polite anymore and opened it.
A pure vase lies quietly on the gold silk satin of the red sandalwood box. It is snow-white and crystal clear, as if it were carved from white jade, and it is faintly illuminated. This semi-transparent feeling is particularly enticing.
Chu Xiang smiled and said: "I think it might be a pair with the royal grandmother's purifying bottle."
Fakong's eyes were immediately sucked, and his mind was also firmly sucked, unable to move away.
The curve of this purifying bottle is slightly different from his purifying bottle. This difference cannot be seen by outsiders, but he can see it clearly at a glance.
If the previous one was dry and cool, then this one is soft and beautiful.
When he looked at the purification bottle, his heart melted, as if he had turned into a puddle of water and slowly flowed on the earth.
Chu Xiang smiled when he saw him looking like this.
Finally, I spent a lot of effort, manpower and material resources to finally find this pure bottle.
As expected, I was right. Master Fakong liked it very much.
If you are not a prince, an admiral of the Nine Sects, or the master of the Shenwu Mansion, and if you have huge influence in the military, deep connections, and huge manpower, you will definitely not be able to find this pure bottle.
But it is in the remote northwest, an ordinary shabby house in an ordinary remote village.
The ancestor of this poor household was a low-ranking ninth-grade official, but this official was a novice monk from a monastery.
And this novice monk has been serving an old monk, but this old monk was a chamberlain in the Great Yi.
And this pure bottle fell into the hands of the chamberlain.
This chamberlain believed deeply in Buddhism, so he kept the purification bottle secretly. No matter how big or strict the palace was, it would be difficult to stop the thieves.
Chu Xiang felt that if he hadn't felt that he owed Master Fakong so much and endured huge expenditure through gritted teeth, it would have been difficult to track down the poor people in this village.
The process was too tortuous and difficult, and many times I thought it was impossible to find it. Maybe the thing had been destroyed or sunk to the bottom of the sea.
The so-called strange objects have their chance, but they were found after all, and they should fall into the hands of Master Fakong.
After a long while, Fa Kong withdrew his eyes and breathed a long sigh of relief. The golden light in his eyes faintly moved, and the Four Symbols Realm advanced a little further.
This purification bottle is of great help to me.
Especially these two purification bottles together repeatedly impacted my understanding of heaven and earth, and the effect was countless times stronger.
"Master, how about it?"
"What a treasure." Fakong said with emotion: "The prince is thoughtful."
Chu Xiang smiled and said: "It would be great if Master likes it. It doesn't matter if it's a little hard."
Fakong smiled and said: "My lord, you are implying that it doesn't matter if I work hard."
"Haha..." Chu Xiang laughed.
Fakong said: "Zeng Sizheng's matter is indeed very troublesome. In fact, the key is to worry about the emperor's attitude."
Chu Xiang frowned: "Old Zeng is an old minister of my father. How could my father want to kill Lao Zeng?"
"Even if you don't want to kill, do you still want to use it?" Fakong said: "If the emperor doesn't want to use it, I have to help him. Do you think it's troublesome?... If I only use my magical power twice, of course I won't do that.
Just push away."
"...I don't know what my father thinks..." Chu Xiang shook his head: "I never think about what my father thinks, I only do what I need to do."
It dawned on him.
No wonder the master avoided it like a snake and a scorpion, thinking it was too troublesome and didn't want to use more magical powers, but it was because of his father.
I should have thought of it earlier.
Although the master said to others that the use of magical powers consumes life span, he knew that this was untrue. If it really had to consume life span, based on the frequency of master's use, he would have died long ago.
In the final analysis, he is still lazy and avoids the trouble.
Having such magical powers but not using them is a waste of resources.
But the magical power belongs to the master. If the master doesn't want to use it, I can't force it. I can only respect his decision.
But this time, Lao Zeng was at a critical moment of life and death, so he could only force the master for a moment. He couldn't just watch Lao Zeng die.
Fakong shook his head and said: "So, Prince, you are not suitable for officialdom, you are only suitable to be an idle prince."
Chu Xiang said: "I was also forced to put myself on the shelf, and there was nothing I could do about it."
"I think you are enjoying it, Your Majesty." Fakong shook his head: "I will accept the purification bottle. I will keep an eye on Zeng Sizheng. Let's see what his chances are. If this is really his fate, who will
We can't save him."
"Oh——!" Chu Xiang sighed and nodded.
He could feel the power of fate and his own powerlessness. Sometimes, no matter how hard he struggled, he could not survive.
"Your Majesty, how many purification bottles are there in this one?"
"I will continue to send people to look for him." Chu Xiang gritted his teeth.
"It couldn't be better." Fakong pretended not to notice, smiled and nodded.
Knowing that he would spend a lot of manpower and material resources, he was still rude, just like he was rude when he asked for help.
When it comes to friendship, there is really no need to be polite.
——
With a bright moon hanging high in the sky, Xinghuawu feels like sleeping, peaceful and peaceful.
The lake water lapped at the shore, making a slight splash.
There is a bright moon swaying gently in the lake.
A small pavilion by the lake is brightly lit like daylight.
Dugu Xia Qing is reading the book.
The light shines on her face with ordinary features, and her eyes are clear and calm.
People can clearly see the situation inside the pavilion from a distance.
There are four guards guarding the pavilion secretly in the apricot forest far away.
Even though this is Xinghuawu and not many people come, they still perform their duties faithfully and never relax.
Fa Kong suddenly appeared next to Dugu Xia Qing.
Dugu Xia Qing put down her book, drew her sword out of its sheath, and turned into a clear light towards Fa Kong.
A clear light had already emerged from Fa Kong's sleeve, piercing Dugu Xia Qing.
The two clear lights did not intersect, they avoided each other, their movements were extremely fast, and their movements flickered.
The guards in the distance did not move.
They recognized Fa Kong.
Fakong's movement skills were clear, but the sword in his hand turned into a clear light, and the appearance of the sword could not be clearly seen.
The two of them fought from the small pavilion to the lake. They stepped on the lake water under the moonlight and kept swinging their swords. They walked on the lake water as if they were walking on flat ground, and their moves were exquisite.
The four guards wanted to see but couldn't see clearly. They could only see two shadows overlapping, then separating, overlapping and then separating again.
It divides and rejoins, it is blurry, and the flashing is as real as virtual. After a while, your eyes will be dazzled and you will feel dizzy.
After more than three hundred moves, Dugu Xia Qing and Fakong suddenly sheathed their swords, fell back to the small pavilion and sat down.
After the fierce battle, Dugu Xiaqing's cheeks were flushed, her eyes were clear and shining, and she looked forward: "You entered the country faster than me."
"No chance." Fakong smiled and said, "How are you doing lately?"
"Very good." Dugu Xiaqing's eyes flickered and she avoided him.
After the last time she was drunk, her knot in her heart had subsided a lot, but she still felt embarrassed every time she thought about it.
It feels like taking off all your clothes.
Fakong smiled and said, "Do you know Princess Zhaohua?"
"Princess Zhaohua? Of course you know." Dugu Xia Qing said: "She often comes to play with me."
Fakong raised his eyebrows.
Dugu Xia Qing said: "Princess Zhaohua likes swordsmanship, is good at raising flowers and plants, and likes small animals. She will come to Xinghuawu to play in a few days."
Fakong nodded thoughtfully: "So we are friends."
Dugu Xia Qing said: "After her consort passed away, she moved out of the palace and has few friends. She has a very good relationship with me."
"How did her consort die?" Fakong asked.
"...Killed by someone." Dugu Xia Qing sighed: "It was also an unforeseen disaster. Two martial arts masters were fighting and accidentally killed him."
Fakong raised his eyebrows.
Dugu Xia Qing said: "Do you find it unbelievable?"
Fakong said: "These two martial arts masters must be dead, right?"
"No." Dugu Xia Qing shook her head.
She looked at Kong Kong's doubts and explained: "One is an elder of the Wuji Sect, and the other is an elder of the Wuchang Sword Sect. Even though she is a princess, there is nothing she can do about these two people."
"Why does Princess Dayun have to deal with two martial arts masters?"
"It's just manslaughter. You can't kill both of them to pay for it. The life of the prince-in-law is not that valuable."
"Wouldn't it hurt the royal family's face if the prince-in-law was killed?"
"The status of a prince-in-law is very low." Dugu Xiaqing shook his head.
Fakong said: "Princess Zhaohua and the consort have no feelings?"
"We have only met twice, how can we have any feelings?" Dugu Xiaqing shook his head and said, "I'm even a little happy."
Fakong looked at her curiously.
Dugu Xia Qing said: "According to the princess, she doesn't like this consort, but the emperor has a destiny, so she has no choice but to marry him."
"When the consort died, she jumped out of the fire pit." Fakong said: "Does the princess know these two masters?"
"I don't recognize it." Dugu Xiaqing shook her head, then her bright eyes flashed, and she said in surprise: "What do you mean by this? Isn't he the prince-consort who thinks the princess is looking for someone to kill? How dare you think that!"
She was extremely keen and could immediately capture the meaning behind Fa Kong.
Fa Kong smiled and shook his head.
"The princess will come over tomorrow, do you want to meet her?" Dugu Xia Qing said, "When you see her, you will know how ridiculous your idea is."
