The manor's exquisite pavilions and pavilions, the quiet and beautiful pools and water corridors, are endlessly luxurious and elegant.
At this time, there were dozens of beautiful maids standing around the pavilion. They all held lanterns in their palms, making the entire pavilion brightly lit.
In the pavilion, Zhao Mengtai, dressed in a black robe, sat on a stone chair, holding a four or five-year-old child in his arms.
Children are white and fat, especially their faces, because some of them are fat and their eyes are the size of beans, but they are shining brightly.
This is none other than Zhao Mengtai's youngest son, Zhao Yunfan.
Zhao Mengtai pretended to be serious and said: "Xiaofan, have you made Mr. Yue angry recently?"
Zhao Yunfan blinked with big eyes: "No, Mr. Yue also praised me for being smart and that I will become a great person in the future."
When the woman in palace clothes next to her heard this, she said angrily: "Mr. Yue is so angry with you, and all you said were angry words."
Zhao Yunfan immediately protested and said, "Mother, you are talking nonsense. Mr. Yue said that among all his students, I am the one he likes the most."
The woman in palace clothes touched her son's head and thought to herself: Your father is Zhao Mengtai, how can he not like you?
Zhao Mengtai raised his eyebrows and said, "Dad, let's test your recent poetry recitation."
Zhao Yunfan said fearlessly: "Okay, okay, dad, just take the exam."
The woman in palace attire looked embarrassed and said, "Your Highness"
"It doesn't matter."
Zhao Mengtai waved his hand, looked at Zhao Yunfan and said: "Then let's start with the simplest one. I'll say the last sentence, you say the next sentence, egrets fly in front of Xisai Mountain."
"I know this."
Zhao Yunfan chuckled and immediately said loudly: "Turtle crawling by Donghe Village."
Zhao Mengtai frowned when he heard this.
When the woman in palace clothes next to her heard this, her face turned pale.
Several maids around were biting their lips and suppressing their inner laughter.
Egrets fly in front of Xisai Mountain, and turtles crawling beside Donghe Village sound a bit smooth.
Zhao Yunfan saw his mother winking at him, and seemed to know that he seemed to have said something wrong, and his heart sank immediately.
Zhao Mengtai took a deep breath and said, "I sat up in shock when I was dying."
Zhao Yunfan touched his head and thought for a while, then whispered: "Where do you come from?"
The whole pavilion suddenly became quiet, which seemed a little strange.
"good very good."
When Zhao Mengtai heard this, he laughed angrily, "It seems that you are really 'working very hard'."
Zhao Yunfan breathed a sigh of relief and said aggrievedly: "Recently, I have been reading at night, and my mind is often a little dizzy when I read. I hope I live up to my father's ardent hope."
"I'm going to let you wake up now."
Zhao Mengtai grabbed Zhao Yunfan, then lifted up his clothes and slapped him hard on the buttocks.
"Snapped!"
"Snapped!"
"Dad, you want to woo woo"
The crisp sound of slaps mixed with the cries of naughty children echoed throughout the pavilion.
The woman in palace clothes wanted to dissuade her, but she didn't dare to speak, so she could only turn her head away helplessly.
After about dozens of breaths, Zhao Mengtai felt that he finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then said: "Go back."
"I see."
"Let's go, go back with mother quickly."
Zhao Yunfan wiped the tears from his eyes and followed his mother and walked away.
Zhao Mengtai looked at the couple's leaving figures and said, "It's really a day without putting on the roof."
At today's court meeting, the imperial censor Zhang Wen impeached Fang Shaohan for selling his official position and abusing his power. He then produced a large amount of evidence, which immediately caused a wave in the temple.
Based on the above evidence, Fang Shaohan, the Minister of Household Affairs, is now being handed over to the three departments for trial.
You must know that Fang Shaohan is the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs. When one of the Ministers is accused, it can be said that there was an earthquake in the temple. What does this mean?
Not only that, but the evidence is that Fang Shaohan colluded with the Ma family in Beihuang Road to sell iron ore to Houjin, which is even more jaw-dropping and shocking.
If the evidence is conclusive, it would not be an exaggeration to say that it would just be a loss of heads, it would be to kill everyone in the family.
Everyone trembled in their hearts and felt a shudder.
They knew that Fang Shaohan had collapsed. The ministers who had been close to Fang Shaohan in the past were all silent and their legs were shaking when they walked.
When the water is clear, there are no fish; when people observe it, there are no disciples.
No one in the entire temple dares to guarantee that his butt is clean, especially some eunuchs.
Zhao Mengtai was a police officer, and he was thinking secretly in his heart.
Others don't know what Fang Shaohan is behind, but he knows it very well.
Behind Fang Shaohan is the Zhenyi Sect and the Five Poison Sect. Now that Fang Shaohan has been thoroughly investigated, the meaning is obvious. His father is going to take action against the Zhenyi Sect. The worst he can do is give the Zhenyi Sect a warning.
But this is undoubtedly good news for Zhao Mengtai.
The power of the Zhenyi Sect in the temple has been eliminated, coupled with the return of Buddhism and the Demon Sect in the world, the huge pressure has fallen, and they will pay more attention to their cooperation.
Zhao Mengtai felt that his situation was not too bad. At least he still had a chance to play.
The dark night was like a thick fog that could not be dispersed. Silently, a figure appeared behind Zhao Mengtai.
The man said calmly: "Second Prince, I have some bad news to tell you."
Zhao Mengtai frowned, "Bad news?"
The man said: "Qi Yuan is dead."
"What!?"
When Zhao Mengtai heard this, his heart trembled.
Who is Qi Yuan?
That was his confidant who had been with him for more than ten years. He was not only a subordinate, but also a close friend. Back then, the two of them talked freely about their dominance and the future.
The two often eat at the same table and sleep in the same quilt. Their relationship is even closer than that of their own royal brothers.
At the beginning, Qi Yuan also joked that if the second prince ascended to the throne, he would also become a cold-blooded and ruthless emperor in history.
Zhao Mengtai joked that he would issue ten death-free tokens to Qi Yuan. In fact, this was his sincerity. I don’t know if it will change in the future, but he was sincere at that time.
In the cold and cold imperial family, it is difficult to see that kind of friendship, but Zhao Mengtai attaches great importance to friendship, including Zhao Xuening, including Qi Yuan, including his children, wives and children.
After about ten breaths, Zhao Mengtai came back to his senses and asked, "How did he die?"
The voice was a bit cold, "I don't know exactly who killed him, but Xuanyi Wei got the head."
"Zhao Chongyin?"
Zhao Mengtai narrowed his eyes and began to think rapidly.
Zhao Chongyin is a calm, calm, scheming and forbearing person. If he attacks himself, he will definitely do it like a thunderbolt without giving himself any chance to breathe.
Now there is no news coming from the temple, which obviously reveals a bit of weirdness.
"Isn't it normal for him to attack you?"
The man sneered: "After all, you are an unstable factor for him."
The chill in Zhao Mengtai's heart became even deeper. Qi Yuan's death would undoubtedly give him a wake-up call.
Sooner or later, Zhao Chongyin will take action against him, whether openly or covertly. If he continues to wait, he will have no choice but to let himself be slaughtered.
The man continued: "Buddhism has now obtained the state religion order, and His Highness the Crown Prince's general trend has been established. Moreover, according to previous news, Buddhism and the Demon Sect seem to be secretly forming an alliance. The Buddhist Sect supports Prince Zhao Chongyin, and the Demon Sect will naturally follow this trend.
A big tree, I feel that the second prince seems to be in an extremely passive situation."
Regarding the Demon Sect, Zhao Mengtai planned to win over and make friends with him from the beginning, but following An Jing's attitude, he knew that this person was not as easy to win over as Jiang Renyi.
Especially since the Demonic Sect 'returned' the national religious order to Buddhism, its attitude is self-evident.
Zhao Mengtai clenched his fists slightly, then relaxed them, and whispered: "Ten thousand years is too long. Seize the day and night. If you do big things, you will either succeed or fail. There will never be a middle way."
The man nodded slightly, "If we can get the support of the True Sect, then what if the Demon Sect and Buddhism are all on opposite sides?"
"The Human Emperor's current situation is the best time. Please consider it carefully."
After saying that, the man disappeared into the night again, as if he had never appeared before.
Zhao Mengtai thought for a long time and shouted in a low voice: "Here comes someone."
As he finished speaking, a figure slowly appeared in front of him, it was Mo Yan.
Zhao Mengtai ordered: "Go and tell Mr. Hao that all plans remain unchanged."
"yes."
Mo Yan clasped his fists heavily, and then walked along the bluestone slab towards the outside of the courtyard.
Zhao Mengtai murmured in a low voice: "What do people mean in the face of the general trend? They are just following the trend and following nature and people."
The next day.
Heavenly Prison, ninth floor.
There was silence in the dark and heavy Tianlao, like stagnant water, without waves or ups and downs.
Li Fuzhou got up and washed up as usual.
Zhu Qiu, who was opposite, was still lying on the bed. When he saw Li Fuzhou getting up as usual, he couldn't help but said: "Scholar, why did you get up so early today? Could it be that you got up early?"
Li Fuzhou smiled and said: "No, I will have a good chat with you later."
Zhu Qiu raised his eyebrows and said, "Talk to me?"
After being in contact with him for several months, he could feel that the Li Fuzhou in front of him was not a talkative person, and other than talking to him rarely, he would not talk to him much, but today he kindly chatted with him?
Li Fuzhou said quietly: "Because I may leave here soon."
Judging from the time, the struggle between Buddhism and Tianwaitian has ended, but no one has come to 'persuade' him to surrender. As for the reason, Li Fuzhou understood it after thinking about it carefully.
There is only one possibility: something went wrong in persuading people to surrender.
"go out?"
Zhu Qiu laughed when he heard this, "Are you stupid from studying and still want to go out?"
What kind of place is the Heavenly Prison? Most of the people who come here are imprisoned here for life. The scholar actually wants to get out.
"If I'm not wrong."
Li Fuzhou smiled and said nothing.
Zhu Qiu shook his head and said, "Just stay here and accompany me to sing Tears Behind Bars every day to relieve your boredom."
Tears Behind Bars is a ditty adapted by Zhu Qiu based on a southern barbarian folk tune. Every time he feels depressed, he will hum a few lines. His favorite thing is to take the trouble to teach others to sing this ditty.
"Li Fuzhou."
At this time, a man in black walked out slowly and said calmly: "It has been 312 years since the Tianlao was established. You are the seventh person to be released. Now you can go out."
The entire Tianlao was quiet, and Zhu Qiu's eyes widened.
Wow!
The people in the remaining cells looked over with a hint of envy in their eyes.
"Crack!"
Then the door of the cell was opened, and Li Fuzhou walked out slowly, looked at Zhu Qiu in the cell and said, "Maybe I won't be able to sing behind bars with Mr. Zhu in the future."
With that said, Zhu Qiu was stunned and walked towards the outside of the prison, "Someone took him away outside?"
Following the way we came, we went through the eighth and seventh floors until we reached the empty first floor.
As the iron door of the prison opened, Li Fuzhou walked out. The long-lost sunlight shone down, making his eyes feel slightly sour.
In just a few months, it felt like years to him, and it suddenly felt like a dream.
"Fuzhou."
At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded.
Following the sound, I saw Liu Huiyun standing under the tree. Behind her were An Jing, Yu Qiurong and other demon sect masters.
Li Fuzhou nodded to Liu Huiyun, and then bowed to An Jing, "Congratulations to my uncle, it seems that he finally defeated the number one Vajra in Buddhism."
Liu Huiyun on the side smiled and said: "Now An Zongfeng is the best swordsman in the world, and Lin Yiyang can only be ranked second."
Ever since An Jing defeated the Supreme Vajra, rumors spread all over the world, and this time, he completely surpassed Lin Yiyang's reputation and became the world's best swordsman in people's mouth.
You must know that some time ago, Lin Yiyang was still known as the best swordsman in the world. Only a short time passed before he changed hands.
Some people even say that An Jing's current level must surpass the Sword Demon and Sword God, Lou Xiangzhen and others, while others say that his current attainments are already above these swordsmen.
All in all, most people believe that An Jing has firmly established himself as the best swordsman in the world.
The world's best swordsman in his early twenties, how terrifying and frightening this is, and what terrifying heights will it reach in the future?
Li Fuzhou couldn't help but secretly thought: He was deceived by this little doctor in Yuzhou City, and he actually had such a terrifying swordsman by his side.
An Jing chuckled and said, "It's this side of the sky that can't trap the Third Master."
What the Demon Sect lacks the most now is masters, especially capable and powerful masters like Li Fuzhou, which is undoubtedly a good thing for the Demon Sect.
Li Fuzhou also turned his head and looked in the direction of the palace, wondering what he was thinking.
Two figures came from a distance, it was Lu Fang and his son.
"It seems it's not too late for me to come."
Lu Fang looked at Li Fuzhou and said: "Now not only are you freed from the prison, but the outer world is also freed from the shackles of taboos on your body. From now on, you can travel freely throughout the Yan Kingdom."
For many masters of the Demon Sect, getting rid of the taboo is indeed great news.
Li Fuzhou took a deep breath, nodded and said: "It is indeed a great happy event."
The Demon Cult soldiers entered the Yan Kingdom with no bloodshed, and their future development will not be restricted. After all, the water without roots will one day dry up.
Lu Fang said: "Father knows that you are coming out today and has been waiting for a long time."
Li Fuzhou nodded slightly and said to An Jing: "I will visit the teacher first, and then go to the inn to meet you."
"Go ahead."
An Jing also knew that they, the master and disciple, had a lot to talk about, about the past, the present, and even more about the future.
Li Fuzhou looked at Liu Huiyun at the side again, "Huiyun, please come with me."
Liu Huiyun did not refuse after hearing this, "Okay."
Then Li Fuzhou and Liu Huiyun followed a few people toward Lu Fang and walked towards Lu Mansion.
An Jing said with a smile: "Let's go back and clean up briefly. We will go back in a few days."
When Yu Qiurong heard this, she couldn't help but smile.
Although the Jade Capital is full of flowers and has a warm and pleasant climate, she still likes Dongluoguan, which is bitterly cold and windy and sandy.
A group of people walked towards the inn.
The Tianlao is in the outer city, and the inn is also in the outer city, but one is in the west of the city and the other is in the east of the city. You have to go through the most prosperous cross street in the city before you can return to the inn.
People were coming and going in the market, it was noisy and lively, and the sounds of hawking came and went.
Suddenly, An Jing's footsteps paused slightly.
Yu Qiurong asked: "Uncle, what's wrong?"
An Jing did not speak, but looked at the woman in white in front of him.
This person is none other than Bai Jing.
She smiled and said: "The prince wants to see you."
An Jing asked: "Where?"
Bai Jing pointed to the quiet teahouse next to her and said, "It's in this teahouse."
Lu Mansion, in the living room.
Lu Guoyong was sitting at the top, drowsy. He heard footsteps in a daze before opening his eyes and saw a familiar figure in front of him.
Li Fuzhou bowed respectfully and said, "Teacher."
Lu Guoyong looked at the disciple in front of him and said: "You still look the same as you have for several months. It seems that the Human Emperor has not made things difficult for you."
Li Fuzhou said: "Teacher, please worry. If the teacher hadn't taken action, the student might have died on the Eight Zhang Terrace."
"Won't."
Lu Guoyong waved his hand and said: "Actually, His Majesty has already planned everything. Even if I don't show up on the Eight Zhang Platform, I think he won't kill you."
Li Fuzhou raised his eyebrows, "Have you calculated everything?"
Lu Guoyong said quietly: "Buddhism's eastward crossing was his move, and uniting with Tianwaitian to fight against Hou Jin was also his move. This move has been arranged long ago."
Li Fuzhou's eyes were puzzled, but his heart sank.
"The simplest thing is the issue of financial resources."
Lu Guoyong said: "The grassland in Houjin is short of resources and needs iron ore. However, it is extremely difficult to completely contain this thing. Trade in Dongluo Pass extends in all directions and the resources are rich. If iron ore is purchased from Dongluo Pass, it will definitely have a negative impact on Dongluo Pass.
Luo Guan is dependent on Luo Guan. If this goes on, it will only make the relationship between Hou Jin and Tianwai Tian closer. Since these materials cannot be cut off, then let it go. On the contrary, it will give Hou Jin a wrong illusion and the Yan Kingdom is corrupt.
, the national power is weak."
"In addition, he has other arrangements. I think you should know better than me."
Li Fuzhou pondered for a moment and said: "The Houjin Golden Eagle Flag that appeared near Dongluo Pass was not actually the real Golden Eagle Flag?"
Last year, the Hou Jin army often appeared in Dongluo Pass, which made everyone in the Demon Sect panic...
Lu Guoyong said: "I can't tell if it's true or not. Let me remind you that the death of Chen Kang, the son of the leader of the Golden Eagle Banner, was actually part of the plan (Chapter 133)."
"The original plan went very smoothly, but there were some surprises due to Jiang Shang's sudden appearance, which caused the leader of the Demon Cult to change. But fortunately, it returned to normal."
Li Fuzhou frowned even deeper when he heard Lu Guoyong's words.
If you think about it carefully, this person who is high up in the palace really likes to make plans and take action later. It is normal that he has already taken precautions against Houjin.
"Every teacher knows"
"These are all my guesses."
With a glimmer of light in Lu Guoyong's eyes, he said: "I only know a little bit about this Human Emperor's plan. As for whether he breaks through the shackles, I can't guess. It may be a lure for fishing, or it may be a real disaster."
When the damage is serious, whether it is true or false, it will shake the general trend of the world."
"Emperors are ruthless and like to balance power. Every emperor is not exempt from vulgarity. In their eyes, life is just a number, just like mountains, rivers and land. It is just a means for them to show their country and the country."
After Lu Guoyong said this, he stood up and walked to Li Fuzhou.
"The situation in Yujing City is changing, and those who stand on high places are not immune, and the same is true for chess pieces. But even as chess pieces, you have to think about whose chess piece you want to be. As long as this majesty is alive for a moment, the world will still be that majesty.
Yes, please remember not to participate in the so-called fight for the right to inherit, lest it cause a big disaster."
Li Fuzhou nodded slightly, then nodded seriously.
Lu Guoyong was reminding him to let the Demon Cult be careful about the layout of the Emperor of Yan, otherwise he would be in trouble if he made the wrong move.
Restaurant, private room entrance.
"Tip: There is a black opportunity near the host."
An Jing sensed the black brilliance coming from the ground book and couldn't help but pause.
"An worship?"
Bai Jing couldn't help but wonder when she saw this.
"fine."
An Jing looked calm and composed, "Qiu Rong, please go back first."
"yes."
Although Yu Qiurong was a little confused after hearing this, she still followed An Jing's instructions.
Seeing Yu Qiurong leaving, An Jing walked straight in. The room was decorated with carved jade railings and was antique in color. A faint scent of tea floated in, which was refreshing.
Zhao Chongyin was sitting at the upper end of the private room, pouring tea.
Apart from him, there was only an old man with white hair who often followed him.
An Jing cupped his fists and said, "Greetings to His Highness the Crown Prince."
Zhao Chongyin smiled and said, "An Zongfang, you're welcome, please take a seat."
An Jing brushed his sleeves, sat down, and said calmly: "His Royal Highness is so elegant."
Zhao Chongyin put down the teapot in his hand, looked at An Jing and said: "Actually, I don't like drinking tea, but today I am just waiting for you in this teahouse."
An Jing glanced at the old man and said, "His Royal Highness is waiting specially for you. I am really flattered."
The black brilliance came from the old man, which showed that the old man in front of him had the ability to kill him, and also had the idea of killing him.
It means that the old man in front of you is at least the fourth qi cultivation. Who is he!?
Today, I am afraid that the prince is coming with bad intentions, but now that the demon sect has given the state religion order to Buddhism, why does the prince have murderous intentions towards him?
Instantly, An Jing's brain began to work rapidly and he began to think deeply.
The old man also glanced at An Jing, with no expression on his face, like an ancient well.
"In order to meet the best swordsman in the world, you should wait for a while."
Zhao Chongyin waved his sleeves and robe, and then the tea cup fell towards An Jing's case, "Please."
An Jing glanced at the teacup and said, "Thank you, Your Highness."
Zhao Chongyin asked: "Why don't you drink?"
"Actually, I don't like drinking tea either. I come from a rough and shabby background, so I prefer drinking."
An Jing smiled and said: "I don't think His Highness the Prince is waiting for me to come here to invite me to tea, so it doesn't matter whether he drinks tea or not."
Zhao Chongyin picked up the teacup and put it down again, "Since An Zongfeng is also a smart person, I'll stop talking nonsense."
As Zhao Chongyin finished speaking, the surroundings suddenly became quiet.
Outside the window, there is still busy traffic and constant flow, but it seems to have been isolated from the private room.
Zhao Chongyin looked at An Jing and said: "Although Tianwaitian cannot become the state religion for the time being, I can guarantee that it will be possible in the future. I can even guarantee that the status is Zhenyi, above Buddhism."
"As long as Tianwaitian is willing to join hands with me and stand by my side."
An Jing's mind was spinning rapidly, "What Your Highness said is a bit confusing. If Tianwaitian becomes the sect of the Yan State, it will naturally join the Yan State in both prosperity and loss."
A glimmer of light appeared in Zhao Chongyin's eyes, "Your Majesty, please stop pretending to be confused. I mean you are on my side, not Yan State."
This is forcing him to take sides!
An Jing said solemnly: "What His Highness the Prince said is of great importance. An is just a worshiper of the Demon Sect, so I'm afraid it will be difficult to make the decision."
Zhao Chongyin frowned. What is An Jing's identity? Although he is a worshiper of the Demon Sect, his wife is the leader of the Demon Sect. It can be said that with his strength and status, he can influence the attitude of the Demon Sect.
"I wonder what exactly you want? Power? Status? Interests?"
A vague murderous intention spread quietly, An Jing seemed to have sensed something, but he remained calm and said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince thinks too much, An just wants to live a simple life.
"
The old man remained motionless from beginning to end, but he gave An Jing a feeling as heavy as a mountain.
"Hahahahaha."
When Zhao Chongyin heard this, he couldn't help but burst out laughing, "A great swordsman who defeated the supreme Vajra, actually only wants to live a simple life?"
An Jing shook his head and said: "Under the rolling trend, people are just a drop in the ocean. In the end, you will find that you are just being pushed away. The road ahead may be a smooth road, or it may be an abyss."
Zhao Chongyin raised his tea cup and took a sip. "If you follow the general trend, you will definitely be walking into an abyss. You should be cautious when offering gifts."
These words seemed to be a reminder, and at the same time more like a warning, but if you listen carefully, they felt like a threat.
An Jing smiled and said, "Thank you, Your Highness, for reminding me."
The vague murderous intention was gradually dissipating, and An Jing knew that the prince had temporarily given up his murderous intention.
"Your Excellency is a smart man."
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is so complimentary."
"Since An Zongfang doesn't like drinking tea, I won't force him to stay."
An Jing stood up, saluted Zhao Chongyin, and slowly withdrew.
Zhao Chongyin remained motionless from beginning to end, just gently sipping the tea in the cup, watching An Jing walk out of the private room, and left the teahouse along the stairs.
Mr. Su smiled and said, "Why didn't His Highness take action?"
Zhao Chongyin whispered: "It's not the best time to take action just to alert the enemy."
Killing An Jing in Yujing City will definitely set off a shocking wave, exposing his trump card, and the gain will outweigh the loss.
Mr. Su said: "I think His Highness the Crown Prince has other plans."
After following the prince for several years, he also understood the mind of the prince in front of him. If he didn't take action against An Jing today, there must be other ways to kill him.
Zhao Chongyin stood up, looked at the long-lost figure outside the window, and said faintly: "He is a swordsman, so let him die by the sword, and by the way, he can catch that big fish."
Mr. Su was a little confused and said: "Oh?"
Zhao Chongyin said calmly: "It's time to let the old guy come out. Anyway, many people know that he is not dead, so there is no need to hide him."
"I'm really curious about who is the real best swordsman in the world."
Mr. Su was thoughtful, as if he knew something. No wonder Zhao Chongyin and Lin Yiyang had an irreconcilable relationship. Everything seemed not as simple as it seemed.
Zhao Chongyin's eyes suddenly turned cold, "I understand from my father that as an emperor, you must clear all obstacles ahead, including those that may become obstacles in the future."
An Jing walked out of the teahouse and headed towards the inn.
There were always two questions lingering in his mind: why did Prince Zhao Chongyin suddenly become murderous towards him, and who was the master behind him?
Those who can pose a threat to themselves must be masters with four qi or above, and they cannot be borrowed from unknown people.
After returning to the inn, An Jing began to think deeply.
Unknowingly, night fell, and the faint moonlight shone into the house along the window lattice.
"Uncle, Sect Master Li is back."
Yu Qiurong's voice sounded outside the door.
An Jing came back to his senses: "Come in."
"Creak——!"
The door slowly opened, and Yu Qiurong and Li Fuzhou walked in.
Yu Qiurong took out the fire paper and lit the candle, and said, "Uncle, don't you even light the candle?"
An Jing looked at Li Fuzhou behind him and said with a smile: "Third Master, I just have something to ask you."
Li Fuzhou also sat down in a dignified manner, "If you have anything you want to ask me, as long as it doesn't interfere with Li's privacy, Li will tell you everything I know."
"I have no interest in your privacy."
An Jing waved his hand and said seriously: "Today I met the prince Zhao Chongyin, but there was a mysterious master behind him, who was suspected to be a master of four qi or above. I want to ask you if you know who it is?"
"Four Qi Grandmaster or above?"
Li Fuzhou frowned, pondered for a moment and said: "The cultivation level of the four qi masters in the world is very rare. So far, the Buddhist sect only has two four qi masters, Tianyi Bodhisattva and Heihe Buddha. In the Zhenyi sect, apart from Xiao Qianqiu, Outside, I’m not sure, but I’m sure there’s more than one. As for the other Four Qi Masters”
Jianghu and the world, in the Jianghu, the master is the top master, but in the world, the four-qi master is the top.
Nowadays, Xiao Qianqiu is in charge of the Jianghu in Dayan, the eunuch with white eyebrows is in charge of the palace, and the sword demon Haotian is a master from decades ago. Apart from Xiao Qianqiu, there are not many people who can show off in the world.
An Jing said: "You have also seen this man. He is the old man who stood next to Zhao Chongyin on the Eight Zhang Platform."
"is it him?"
Li Fuzhou was a little surprised and said: "If it hadn't been for my uncle's words, I really wouldn't have known that that person had such a cultivation level. There are definitely not three people in the royal family with this kind of cultivation level. Apart from Bai Mei, there is at most one , but it is absolutely impossible to be with the prince."
An Jing asked: "Why?"
The prince Zhao Chongyin has a special status, so it is normal for him to be protected by a four-qi master.
Li Fuzhou took a deep breath and said: "Actually, Zhao Chongyin is not the Human Emperor's favorite prince. Compared with the current second prince Zhao Mengtai, the Human Emperor loves the latter more, and Zhao Chongyin can become the crown prince mainly because of his former queen."
"Former queen?"
"This woman followed the Taiping Emperor before he became the emperor. At that time, the Taiping Emperor was suppressed by many princes. Although he had a lot of food, he was humiliated. However, the queen never left her.
It is said that this queen is a member of the Jianghu. The specific situation cannot be verified because it took too long and the Emperor of the People killed all those who knew about it. However, the queen suffered a lot for the Taiping Emperor and served successively for the Taiping Emperor.
The Taiping Emperor gave birth to two sons, but unfortunately he died mysteriously two years after he ascended the throne. The eldest son born to the Queen also died of illness a year later, but he was only seven years old."
"The Human Emperor seemed to feel deeply guilty about this, so he made his second son Zhao Chongyin the crown prince."
It was the first time for An Jing to hear about these royal secretaries. He did not expect that Zhao Chongyin would have such a grudge and resentment after becoming the crown prince.
Li Fuzhou possesses information about the Renzong. When the Demon Sect was still in the Yan Kingdom, it was an intelligence organization that was known as the world's largest intelligence organization. Although it was a bit exaggerated, it was definitely a first-class intelligence organization.
An Jing said in confusion: "Then why does the Human Emperor dislike Zhao Chongyin?"
Li Fuzhou shook his head, "I don't know. In short, the Human Emperor doesn't like Zhao Chongyin very much. Although he is the prince, he grew up alone in the East Palace since he was a child. He only has young eunuchs and maids by his side. The Human Emperor rarely goes there.
To see him."
"It is precisely because the Human Emperor does not like it. In the past few years, there were rumors that the Human Emperor planned to abolish the crown prince and re-establish the crown prince."
An Jing nodded slightly, becoming even more curious about the identity of that master.
His Highness the Crown Prince has won over a Four Qi Master himself?
Yu Qiurong on the side was also secretly surprised. Not many people in the world knew about these secrets. Firstly, they were related to the Yan royal family. Secondly, nearly forty years had passed since this incident. Those who knew it at the beginning might also have known about it.
Went there one after another.
Li Fuzhou thought for a while and said: "Tomorrow I will collect the information about the two masters of Qi in the Jianghu in the past fifty years, whether they are dead or alive, and then check them one by one."
An Jing said: "Okay, then we have Mr. Lao."
"No trouble."
Li Fuzhou flexed his muscles and said: "I was bored to death in prison that day. I remember when I went to Baihua Tower in the south of the city, the girls there were all lined up to welcome me."
An Jing nodded slightly. According to Li Fuzhou's youthful appearance, which was only a few points worse than his own, it was not surprising that he was able to attract those wild bees and butterflies.
"Didn't Third Master once say that there is a house of gold in a book, and a beauty like jade in a book?"
Li Fuzhou sighed, "But there are no simple and profound truths in the book."
An Jing sneered: "If Liu Huiyun knew about it, he would definitely break your third leg."
Li Fuzhou said calmly: "Just listening to music and having a drink. The main reason is that I haven't seen you for a long time."
I haven’t seen Zhou Xianming for a long time. Why do you want to go to Goulan to listen to music?
"There are three layers of wine in the cup, and seven layers of sadness in the wine."
Li Fuzhou looked at An Jing with a smile, "Uncle, would you like to have a drink tonight?"
An Jing's heart moved, he glanced at Yu Qiurong next to him, and said sternly: "I won't go."
Li Fuzhou said casually: "That's such a pity."
Yu Qiurong chuckled lightly and said, "Uncle, you should go to bed early. I'll go back first."
An Jing nodded calmly, "Well, go ahead."
Yu Qiurong turned around and walked out, closing the door.
"Then I'm leaving too, don't miss this great moment."
Li Fuzhou looked at the sky and was about to leave.
"Third Master."
At this time, An Jing stopped Li Fuzhou and coughed slightly: "This Jade City is very dangerous, there are many masters."
Li Fuzhou glanced at An Jing, "I am a second-qi master. There are few people in the world who can easily kill me. It is safer because this is Jade Capital."
An Jing said in a deep voice: "Not long ago, the sword demon ambushed me once. He is a master of the four qi."
"It didn't work out last time, so he should have restrained himself."
"You have many enemies, don't you know it yourself?"
"I don't have as many enemies as you, my uncle."
An Jing suddenly said with a look of hatred for steel: "You have forgotten who gave you the money in Yuzhou City, who took the risk to defeat the Supreme King Kong in Tianwu Sect, who went to meet the Emperor of Humanity, and who will take the throne from you." Pulled out of a prison?"
Li Fuzhou sighed and said: "Uncle, I beg you, please protect me, a 'weak' second-qi master."
An Jing also shook his head helplessly, "Hey, I have no choice but to go with you."
Li Fuzhou: ""
An Jing blew out the candles, and then the two of them disappeared into the inn without anyone noticing.
"Creak——!"
About half a cup of tea later, Yu Qiurong's door opened.
She walked to Anjing's door and carefully put her ear to it.
The silence made her feel weird.
"Uncle?"
Yu Qiurong asked tentatively in a low voice.
But there was no sound inside.
Yu Qiurong opened the door directly and looked under the faint moonlight. There was no one in the house.
She quickly came to the bed and touched the quilt. There was no warmth at all and she was completely cold.
"Uncle"
Yu Qiurong said quietly: "Do you really think I am Tan Yun, so easy to deceive?"
