Lin Yi and his party left Yunzhou and continued to the capital.
Wherever he passed, people were spreading the news about the miracle of the god-man Blood Ancestor raining rain in Yunzhou. This move by the Blood Demon really established his status as a god-man.
Many people suffering from incurable diseases are also eager to inquire about the current whereabouts of the Blood Demon, hoping that the Blood Demon can use his magic to cure their incurable diseases. Some people even have a "god tablet" of the Blood Demon at home.
All in all, Blood Demon was in the limelight for a while.
The people worshiped the Blood Demon so much, which made Lin Yi even more worried.
What Lin Yi is most worried about now is that the emperor also believes that the blood demon is a god and masters the art of immortality.
The consequences of that are really unimaginable.
It was getting late when they arrived in the capital, so Lin Yi and the others first found an inn to settle down.
The next day, Lin Yi disguised himself and went to the palace alone to meet the saint.
Lin Yi revealed his identity and was introduced to the palace.
The emperor was waiting for Lin Yi in a palace.
Behind the emperor stood Teng Bin wearing a golden mask.
Dongmen Xing returned to the capital first and forwarded a letter written by Lin Yi to the emperor. In the letter, Lin Yi requested the emperor to keep Dongmen Tiehu safe. Lin Yi would go to the capital in person to explain the specific details.
Lin Yi intervened in Dongmen Tiehu's case, which surprised and puzzled the emperor.
However, the emperor also gave Lin Yi face. He ordered Teng Bin to take Dongmen Tiehu out of prison and imprison him separately. The guards were also replaced by Nighthawk Guards to ensure that Dongmen Tiehu was safe.
When Lin Yi met the emperor, he first performed the ceremony of meeting the emperor, and then the emperor asked Lin Yi to get up.
The emperor looked at Lin Yi and said with an angry expression: "Lin Yi, I didn't treat you well back then. You left without saying goodbye. What crime should you do?!"
Lin Yi saw that Emperor Long Yan was angry and thought something was wrong.
Lin Yi also knew how to accompany the emperor. He said with a look of shame on his face: "The emperor treated Lin Yi with great kindness, but Lin Yi failed to live up to the grace and left without saying goodbye. He is really guilty. Please punish the emperor. Lin Yi is guilty."
The emperor stared at Lin Yi and said: "Then I will punish you...drink with me!"
Lin Yi sighed inwardly upon hearing this.
It turned out that the emperor was joking with him.
Lin Yi said happily: "Lin Yi takes the blame! Thank you Lord for your kindness!"
The emperor's expression also turned from anger to joy.
"You have made a great contribution and solved the crisis of our dynasty. Now our dynasty is free from external troubles and can rest and recuperate. Who can compare with your contribution? Even if you have committed a thousand sins, one merit is worth a thousand sins. So you are not only
Not guilty, but also meritorious!" Speaking of the emotional point, the emperor left his seat and walked to Lin Yi. He took Lin Yi's hand and sighed: "I really didn't expect that you assassinated the King of Tubo and blamed the Western Regions.
With one wonderful move, you can resolve all the dangers in this dynasty! It’s so wonderful! It’s so satisfying! I admire you! So, I want to reward you. A big reward!”
Teng Bin, who was on the emperor's body, gave Lin Yi a thumbs up.
His eyes were full of respect.
Since the emperor wanted to reward him heavily, Lin Yi took the opportunity to say: "Lin Yi does not ask for a reward, he only wants a favor from the emperor."
The emperor said cheerfully: "Whatever you want, just say it. Even if you want to grant the king a fiefdom, I will agree. If you want to restore the South Courtyard, I will rebuild it for you. And I will give you a plaque. I will write the words 'South Courtyard' in my own hand."
He was given a golden seal by the King of Nanjin and treated as an equal before officials."
This reward from the emperor is truly rare.
Lin Yi said: "Lin Yi only asks the emperor to forgive Mr. Dongmen for his innocence."
Lin Yi made this request, which was beyond the emperor's expectation.
The emperor did not know that Lin Yi and Dongmen Tiehu had a close friendship and were now on the same boat.
Therefore, the emperor did not understand why Lin Yi gave up the opportunity to get a huge reward and only saved Dongmen Tiehu.
The emperor said: "Dongmen Tiehu has neglected his duties and is suspected of having liaisons with the Western Regions. Dali Temple is collecting evidence of his crime."
Lin Yi said: "Master Dongmen neglected his duties because his son Dongmen Wang was killed by a demon's henchman. Therefore, Master Dongmen was filled with grief and anger and chased the murderer thousands of miles to avenge his son's murder, so he left his post without authorization. Please also ask.
The Emperor sympathizes with Master Dongmen's grief. As for Master Dongmen's affair with the Western Regions, it is purely a malicious person who slandered Master Dongmen. Master Dongmen is well-known for his uprightness and loyalty to the country, so how can it be possible for Master Dongmen to have affairs with the Western Regions? I can guarantee this with my life."
Teng Bin also spoke: "Your Majesty, that's what Lin Yi said. I'm afraid it's not true that Mr. Dongmen is liaising with the enemy."
The emperor nodded noncommittally.
The emperor said to Lin Yi: "How do you know that Dongmen Tiehu went thousands of miles to chase the murderer? Has his son taken revenge?"
Lin Yi said: "Because Mr. Dongmen and I chased the murderer together."
The emperor was surprised and said: "So how many months have you been together? Then tell me the details."
Lin Yi had already thought of his words. He said: "Master Dongmen is tracking the murderer, and I am tracking the devil behind the scenes. So Master Dongmen and I simply cooperated. The devil's lair is in the Kunlun Mountains, and the locals call it the Kunlun Demon.
This demon has great martial arts skills and is extremely crazy. Master Dongmen and I fought with the demon clan for several days. The Dongmen family suffered heavy casualties, but the demon finally escaped. The demon left Kunlun and came to the Central Plains. Dongmen and I
Master Men returned to the Central Plains again..."
The emperor was shocked and said: "You and Lord Dongmen joined forces, but you didn't catch this Kunlun Demon?!"
Lin Yi said: "This demon is not only crazy and cruel, but also extremely cunning. His actions are often unexpected and difficult to deal with. When he came to the Central Plains, he also spread the word that he was the resurrection of the blood demon two hundred years ago, and he also boasted that he controlled immortality.
The art..."
Lin Yi quietly brought the topic to the Blood Demon step by step, preparing to describe the Blood Demon as a crazy demon who came from a foreign land and was full of ambition.
"Covering the world's eyes", also "covering the emperor's eyes".
Recently, important officials in the court have mentioned the Blood Demon to the Emperor. He said that the Blood Demon is a god-man who possesses the art of immortality. He slept for two hundred years and woke up again. He is ready to benefit the people.
And not only did this official mention it, but even the Grand Master also mentioned it to the Emperor.
After all, this matter is a bit surprising.
The emperor was dubious after hearing this.
However, immortality was a great temptation for the emperor. The emperor's heart was moved. The emperor was not impulsive. He ordered people to go into the rivers and lakes to verify whether the blood demon's story was true.
Yesterday, the emperor received an express report that the Blood Ancestor came to Yunzhou and brought rain to relieve the drought in Yunzhou in front of tens of thousands of people. The state official led the people to kneel down in public and shouted that the Blood Ancestor was a god.
The emperor also received a joint memorial from Yunzhou officials.
I hope the emperor will commend the Blood Ancestor for saving hundreds of thousands of people in Yunzhou.
This shocked and excited the emperor.
Since the Blood Ancestor made rain in public, he was really a man of gods. The Blood Ancestor's mastery of the art of immortality was not groundless.
The emperor believed that the blood demon was from two hundred years ago.
The emperor, who longs for immortality, has made arrangements to meet this blood ancestor.
Now Lin Yi said that the Blood Ancestor was a crazy and cruel liar, and he was shocked.
"Wait..." The emperor interrupted Lin Yi. At this moment, the emperor looked confused. "The Kunlun Demon is the Blood Ancestor? Are they the same person? In other words, the Blood Ancestor is not a person who has slept for two hundred years and awakened again?
But a lie made up by the Kunlun Demon to deceive the world?!"
