Dongfang Yu carefully looked at the Patriarch Pudu Cihang in front of him, who was about forty or fifty years old, with a thin build. He was wearing a monk's robe, a monk's hat, a pair of mango shoes, and put his hands together.
When he got off the cart, his eyes were not sharp, and his whole body exuded an aura that made people feel close to him.
Dongfang Yu was sizing up the other party. Similarly, Pudu Cihang was also sizing up Dongfang Yu. Pudu Cihang had also witnessed the powerful fireball technique and the monstrous flames just now with his own eyes. Suddenly, a Taoist priest appeared and the emperor sealed it.
He was the Heavenly Master who protected the country and was on an equal footing with him. Pudu Cihang was naturally very unhappy in his heart.
However, Dongfang Yugang's powerful fireball technique also made Pudu Cihang feel threatened, so he did not dare to attack at will.
"Is this the Celestial Master who protects the country? It is a blessing for the court to have you serve the court." Although he was very unhappy in his heart, the charitable smile on Pudu Cihang's face did not change at all, and he opened his mouth to congratulate.
"Thank you Abbot," Dongfang Yu said with a smile on her face and nodded in response to Pudu Cihang's congratulations.
"Hahaha, okay, a senior monk from the Buddhist sect and a heavenly master from the Taoist sect. Having you two here is really a blessing to my court. Although you two belong to the Taoist sect and the Buddhist sect, you should stay close to each other."
, looking at Dongfang Yu and Pudu Cihang, the emperor looked very happy.
"It's natural, we will definitely get close to each other," Dongfang Yu and Pudu Cihang both nodded with false smiles on their faces.
Soon, the news that the emperor had newly appointed a Heavenly Protector of the Country spread in the court. The monstrous flames burning in the sky of the palace were the Taoism of the Heavenly Protector of the Country. This also made people
Many people in the capital were shocked. It turned out that the flames they saw before were caused by the Taoism of the Heavenly Master.
After receiving the title of Celestial Master to Protect the Country and receiving some rewards from the emperor, Dongfang Yu left the palace. Different from the responsibilities of Pudu Cihang, the Protector of the Country, Pudu Cihang was only responsible for various large and small things in the palace.
Judicial etiquette, etc., such as praying, worshiping heaven, and worshiping ancestors
However, the Taoist power displayed by Dongfang Jade is both surprising and admirable. Therefore, the position given to Dongfang Yu by the emperor is mainly as a combatant, which can be regarded as a trump card in the palace. Ordinary Dongfang Jade
Nothing happened, but once Dongfang Yu needed to take action, he would be called upon to take action.
Seeing the Taoist power displayed by Dongfang Jade with his own eyes, the emperor naturally valued him very much. In addition to the position of a Heavenly Protector of the Country, he also awarded a large house and a lot of gold and silver to Dongfang Jade.
Xiao Na, after leaving the palace, he took Ning Caichen and others into his mansion.
After everything was settled, Yan Chixia and the others naturally asked Dongfang Yu about the situation in the palace. Dongfang Yu thought for a while and then opened her mouth and told the story about Pudu Cihang being a monster.
"Really!? That protector of the country is actually a monster!?" Sure enough, after hearing the news about Dongfang Yu, everyone from Zhiqiu Yiye to Yan Chixia to Ning Caichen all raised their eyebrows.
My eyes widened in disbelief.
Just thinking about it, they felt that what Dongfang Yu said was probably true.
It is said that when a country is about to perish, there must be monsters. Although they knew that there would be monsters in the court, they did not expect that the real monster was the abbot who protects the country.
"Mr. Zhuge, what do you think our next move should be?" Taking advantage of this time to enter the palace, Dongfang Yu told the country's protector that the abbot was a monster, and then looked at him with questioning eyes.
Zhuge Wolong, after all, he is the brains of the team.
"What should we do next? Why should we move?" Zhuge Wolong, although he was also surprised that the protector of the country was actually a monster, but when he heard Dongfang Yu's question, he looked confident and asked.
Zhuge Wolong's answer made everyone present slightly stunned. Yan Chixia was relatively straightforward and naturally said: "It is better to strike first. Since we know that the protector of the country is a monster, we naturally have to find a way to get rid of him."
That’s it”.
"Is it better to strike first?" Regarding Yan Chixia's words, Zhuge Wolong smiled calmly and said: "In the current situation, we are in the dark and the other side is in the light. We have gained and the other side has lost. It's time to
It’s not us who are anxious, it’s him, so what we should do now is to stop with silence.”
"That makes sense." Zhuge Wolong's words made Dongfang Yu nod, feeling suddenly enlightened.
Now, people like me already know that the Protector of the Country is a monster, but the Protector of the Country still doesn't know the situation of these people. He is hiding it, but the other party is clearly doing nothing wrong.
Secondly, Dongfang Yu gained the title of Protector of the Country, so he naturally gained something, but what about the Protector of the Country? But someone suddenly appeared and was on an equal footing with him, so he naturally lost something.
Under such a situation, the Protector of the Country must be more anxious than people like myself. If he is anxious, the other party will take action. If he takes action, there will be a flaw, and he will be able to find an opportunity to get rid of him.
It is right to strike first to gain the upper hand, but there is also a saying called stopping with silence.
Zhi Qiu Yiye looked at Zhuge Wolong with admiration. He was indeed a scholar of Tongtian. What he said was different.
"Of course, calming down does not mean doing nothing. Our goal is not just to eliminate demons, but to help the country and the country. Therefore, Mr. Dongfang, you can come to the palace from time to time these days and find ways to maintain it.
The relationship with the emperor can also reveal a little bit of suspicion that there may be evildoers in the palace, which can be regarded as giving the emperor an idea first. Then, in addition to the protector of the country, it will not appear obtrusive."
Immediately afterwards, Zhuge Wolong spoke again.
"That makes sense." Dongfang Yu nodded, maintaining the relationship with the emperor? Dongfang Yu thought for a while and then went out.
Regarding how to do it, Dongfang Yu had a plan in mind. It was nothing more than giving a gift. As for what to give? From Yan Chixia and Ning Caichen that day, Dongfang Yu could clearly see that there were things that did not exist in this world.
Today is the most precious thing, even if it is just a pack of instant noodles.
In the palace, in the harem.
"My dear concubine, you are pregnant, please pay more attention to rest." At this moment, the emperor took a rare break and found his favorite concubine. He said softly, looked at the sky and stopped playing, and was about to say hello and prepared
At one o'clock in the evening, I was eating dinner here, but a young eunuch ran over and said, "Your Majesty, the Heavenly Protector of the Country has something to ask for."
"The Celestial Protector of the Country? When will he be here?" Hearing the words of this little eunuch, the emperor was slightly startled.
"Your Majesty, I heard that you have appointed a Heavenly Master to protect the country. I heard from the people below that this Heavenly Master is profound in Taoism and can spit two or three feet of flame from his mouth. Is it really so magical?", next to him.
When my beloved concubine heard this, she asked the emperor curiously.
"Is it so miraculous? My dear wife, I will find out later." After hearing his beloved wife's words, the emperor smiled and said immediately: "I would like to invite the Heavenly Master who protects the country."
"I've met your Majesty," Dongfang Yu said after entering the harem, cupping his fists and saluting.
"Master Tian, I don't know what's important?" At this moment, he was wearing casual clothes, but he lost the majesty of the temple and became more easy-going.
"Today I received a reward from His Majesty. I felt the Emperor's great kindness in my heart and could not repay it. I remembered that I had a gem in my hand, which would be most suitable for Concubine Ai Qin. Therefore, I came to the palace today to present the treasure," Dongfang Yu said.
Qin Ai Fei is naturally the concubine beside the emperor at the moment. She is also the most favored one by the royal family so far.
"I dare not steal the treasure of the Heavenly Master. The emperor is rich all over the world. If I want the gem, he will have his own reward." When she heard that Dongfang Jade came to give her the gem, Qin Aifei was also slightly startled, and immediately
smiled.
"Oh, my dear concubine, it's rare for a Heavenly Master to have such a heart. Let's take a look at what kind of gem it is. The Heavenly Master is an outsider. I'm also very curious about the gem you left behind. What kind of unparalleled treasure is it?"
However, the emperor stopped Qin Ai Fei and said that he was very curious about the appearance of the gems that he kept in the hands of gods like Dongfang Yu.
Dongfang Jade turned his hand over, and an egg turned into a reddish red. A crystal clear ruby appeared in Dongfang Jade's hand. The appearance of this gem emitted a faint light, which was magnificent.
"What a treasure!" Even the emperor, who was accustomed to seeing all kinds of rare treasures, couldn't help but exclaimed in amazement when he looked at the ruby in Dongfang Yu's hand. Qin Aifei next to him couldn't move his eyes even more.
This gem is one of the best pieces in the box of gems that Dongfang Jade picked out from the Hobbit plane. It can definitely be called a rare treasure and is priceless.
He took Dongfang Yu's gem. To be honest, the emperor also liked it very much, but he felt a little guilty, so he asked Dongfang Yu if there was anything he wanted. Dongfang Yu shook his head and said that he had nothing else to ask for. This made the emperor
Apart from being happy, I also feel even more guilty.
"Come here, tell the imperial dining room that tonight I will have dinner with the Heavenly Master who protects the country." He was very happy and the emperor immediately gave the order.
Within a moment, the dishes from the imperial dining room were brought out one by one, as well as two pots of aged wine.
Dongfang Jade picked up a pot of wine, smelled it unceremoniously, and then poured a glass to drink. Well, the taste was very mellow, and it was a rare wine, but the alcohol content was not high.
Before he even started, Dongfang Yu took action first. If it was usual and he didn't understand the rules like this, even though the royal family valued Dongfang Jade, they would have some grudges in their hearts. But now that he got the rare gem given by Dongfang Jade, the emperor was very happy.
He was very surprised, but he didn't care about the red tape, and asked: "Tianshi, how are you? Is this wine still enough to drink?".
"It's mellow but not strong enough," Dongfang Yu said with a smile and shook his head.
"This wine is already one of the few spirits in the palace. Isn't that enough?" After hearing Dongfang Yu's words, the emperor was slightly startled and said in surprise.
"How about my wine, Your Majesty?" Dongfang Yu smiled, opened a scroll and spread it on the dining table.
The emperor and Qin Ai Fei looked at each other in confusion, not knowing what this meant, but they did not speak, they just looked at Dongfang Yu.
Dongfang Jade formed a seal with his hands, pressed it on the scroll, and unlocked the seal. A flash of white smoke flashed, and soon a bottle of Wuliangye appeared on the dining table.
"Such a magical method!" This sealing technique made the emperor and Qin Ai Fei widen their eyes in surprise.
Immediately, when Dongfang Yu opened the wine bottle of Wuliangye, the rich aroma of wine came out, making the emperor's nose shrugged, and he looked at the wine in Dongfang Yu's hand in amazement.
"Crystal wine bottle, this bottle alone is a treasure. The wine inside is indeed rich in aroma. How can the Imperial Master have such a fine wine?" The emperor looked at the wine in Dongfang Yu's hand with shining eyes and exclaimed.
said.
The fine wine, coupled with the completely transparent bottle, just looks like an ordinary thing.
boom!
On the other side, in the room of the Protector Abbot, when he heard the people below came to report that Dongfang Yu had shared dinner with the emperor, he couldn't help but got angry and kicked a chair to pieces: "That guy, how could he be so deep?"
Holy Grace? No, I must get rid of him, otherwise, what else do I have to do in this palace?" To be continued.
