Lin Yi returned to his residence. The boy and the two of them were on duty in the courtyard tonight.
The old man who knows how to observe the sky has fallen asleep.
Lin Yi came into the house and called the old man up.
Lin Yi said to the old man: "Old man, please forgive me for waking you up. The rain this time is of great concern. You told me that it will rain from noon to the end of the day tomorrow. Tonight, the moon and stars are sparse and the night sky is clear. Can you please help me again?"
I'll take a closer look at the sky."
Lin Yi and the others were respectful and friendly to the elderly, treating them like relatives and elders. The elderly were very moved and wanted to try their best to help.
The old man readily agreed.
Lin Yi then took the old man to a high place outside the city.
It was cold up there, so Lin Yi put his long gown on the old man.
The old man looked up and observed the celestial phenomena for a long time, and then he said to Lin Yi: "Well, the weather changes like everything in the world, and there are some changes in the sky today. But if there is no rain the day after tomorrow, it will be the day after tomorrow. In these two days. Hours
, eight or nine are inseparable from ten, still between the end of noon and the end of the afternoon.”
Lin Yi said: "Old man, can't you decide the date?"
The old man said: "Young man, I'm old, and I'm really not what I used to be. I've tried my best. And I also told you that the weather is unpredictable, and I can only see 10 to 70. The remaining 2 to 3 minutes depends on God's will."
Lin Yi smiled bitterly in his heart.
The Blood Demon really didn't deceive him.
The weather is indeed unclear this time.
If it rains within two days, on which day should he ask for rain?
Lin Yi said: "Thank you, old man."
Lin Yi asked the little boy and Dongmen Xing to take the old man back first, while he and Meimei stood where they were.
Now there were only two people, Meimei and Lin Yi. Meimei hugged Lin Yi from behind and buried her head on Lin Yi's back.
Rainy days are full of variables, which also makes Meimei anxious.
But Lin Yi had already made a decision about life and death, and she had no choice.
She knew that Lin Yi was under pressure, so she didn't say anything.
Just holding Lin Yi like this.
Lin Yi touched her head with his backhand and said: "You must blame me for falling mad again this time and making a death sentence in public. But I really have no other way. Only in this way can the blood demon's conspiracy be exposed and the emperor not believe him.
Otherwise, if the world regards him as a god, how can we fight against him?"
Meimei said softly: "I know..."
Lin Yi said again: "Mei'er, the day after tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, you choose one for me."
Meimei said: "Why should I choose for you?"
Lin Yi smiled and said: "Because you are a goddess. How can you be compared to an ordinary person like me?"
Meimei gently bit Lin Yi's back with her teeth and said: "At this time, you are still in the mood to joke. I won't choose for you..."
Now, no matter who chooses the day for Lin Yi, it will determine Lin Yi's life or death.
Two days are undoubtedly like two doors, one is the door of life and the other is the door of death.
If you make a mistake, you will never recover.
No one dared to decide life or death for Lin Yi.
Neither of them spoke, and they hugged each other quietly on the hill on a moonlit night. Until the first ray of dawn shone on their faces, Lin Yi gently kissed Meimei's forehead.
Lin Yi said: "Let's go back."
Meimei said: "Have you made your choice?"
Lin Yi said: "Yeah."
Meimei said: "When?"
Lin Yi said: "Don't trust people when you employ them, don't use them when you doubt them."
Meimei immediately understood that the original date and time remained unchanged.
This was another big gamble Lin Yi made with his life.
…
When the emperor went to court in the morning, Prime Minister Lu and the Grand Master reported to the emperor what happened at last night's banquet.
In fact, the emperor already knows what happened in the Taishi Mansion last night.
The emperor's eyes and ears are spread throughout the palaces of important officials in the court.
Facing the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty, the emperor pretended to be surprised and said: "Lin Yi can also do magic... and he is actually a fellow disciple of the Blood Ancestor?!"
The grand master said excitedly: "Yes! Lin Yi even made a life-and-death gesture in front of everyone. If he couldn't pray for rain, he was willing to offer his head. It can be seen that what Lin Yi said was true. He really knew how to summon wind and rain. That's why he dared to make a life-and-death gesture. He
I am absolutely sure. Also, Lin Yi showed off his magic in public last night, turning a pot of hot tea into snowflakes. All the adults witnessed it with your own eyes..."
The grand master once again boasted about Lin Yi's magical powers.
The officials on both sides confirmed that what the Grand Master said was true.
The emperor was even more shocked.
The emperor thought for a moment and said: "Since the grand master and all your dear friends have seen it with their own eyes, it must be true. Since Lin Yi has made a declaration of life and death, you will please... Okay, then I will issue an order to let Lin Yi stay in the palace.
It rains in front of the officials and the city's dignitaries. As the saying goes, it is the mule or the horse that comes out for a walk."
The emperor agreed, and the grand master and officials were very happy.
We are even more looking forward to the rainfall in Linyi.
Initially, the focus was on the Blood Ancestor, but now the Blood Ancestor has been downplayed.
This is exactly Lin Yi’s original intention in designing.
At this time, Liang Xian, the minister of punishment, said: "Your Majesty, I have something to report."
The emperor said: "Play!"
Liang Xian glanced at Prime Minister Lu and said, "Your Majesty, I recently heard that the Iron-faced Lord has reappeared in the world. I was very confused and sent someone to investigate. Sure enough, the Iron-faced Lord is still alive."
As soon as the Minister of Punishment said this, the emperor and all the officials were shocked.
Everyone cast their surprised eyes on Prime Minister Lu.
Because Lu Ba led people to encircle and suppress the Iron-faced God and beat him to death, the emperor also rewarded the Lu family.
Now that the Iron-faced God is alive, Prime Minister Lu is suspected of deceiving the emperor.
Prime Minister Lu faced the questioning looks of the emperor and officials, with sincerity and fear.
Prime Minister Lu knew in his heart that his opponents in the DPRK were beginning to attack.
The emperor stared at Prime Minister Lu, his face suddenly darkened, and he said sullenly to Prime Minister Lu: "Lu Choumin!"
Prime Minister Lu quickly went out and knelt in front of the emperor. He said: "Your Majesty, I am about to report this matter."
The emperor said: "I ask you, is it true that Mr. Liang said that the Iron-faced God is still alive?!"
Xiang Lu said: "It's true."
The emperor said: "Since it is true, what else do you have to say! You are so audacious that you dare to lie to me! I heard that Mr. Lu, your prime minister, likes to eat bears' hearts. You are indeed a bear's heart and a leopard!"
The Minister of Punishment also looked angrily and said: "Your Majesty, Lu Chou relied on his merits and abilities and deceived even the Emperor. We must not let him be spared lightly!"
The Taiwei also took the opportunity to say: "Your Majesty, Lu Choumin deceived the emperor and ignored his superiors. He must be severely punished. If he is not punished severely, it is not enough!"
Some officials also came forward one after another, asking the emperor to severely punish Prime Minister Lu.
Prime Minister Lu's people were all dumbfounded.
Everyone was uneasy.
But I don’t dare to say anything rashly now.
The emperor said angrily to Prime Minister Lu: "Lu Choumin, do you know your guilt?!"
Prime Minister Lu knelt on the ground, frightened and frightened. Prime Minister Lu said: "Your Majesty, I am guilty! But I also have difficulties."
The emperor said angrily: "Oh? Then I would like to hear your difficulties!"
Prime Minister Lu said: "I ordered Lu Ba to capture the Iron-faced God at the beginning. So he is in charge of everything. I am doing my best to deal with the mission from the Western Regions. Lu Ba set up a Cairo underground trap to capture the Iron Demon. The Iron Demon was anxious. In order to get out of trouble, he cunningly
The Iron Demon used Li Daitao's strategy to find someone to replace him. The Iron Demon never showed his true colors to others, so Lu Ba was also deceived by him. I didn't even understand the reason, so I believed Lu Ba in everything, so I committed the crime.
It’s my fault that I didn’t realize it in time…”
Prime Minister Lu was indeed wise and downplayed the crime of deceiving the emperor as a momentary oversight.
The emperor said: "Where is Lu Ba?!"
Prime Minister Lu said: "Lu Ba knew that Iron Demon was still alive and felt deeply guilty, so he committed suicide in shame."
Now that Prime Minister Lu has told the whole story, officials in the DPRK who are leaning towards Prime Minister Lu have also started to speak out and intercede on behalf of Prime Minister Lu.
However, Prime Minister Lu's political opponents did not agree with Prime Minister Lu's resignation and demanded that the emperor severely punish Prime Minister Lu.
So officials from both sides started arguing.
Just as the two sides were arguing, a eunuch came in and whispered a few words into the emperor's ear.
