Li Minglou didn't know either. She recalled that time, just like before, she suddenly appeared without anyone noticing, the bag was always by her side, and the golden light also made her skin and flesh bruise.
Li Minglou lowered his head and looked at his body. The burn wound was still there, and the pain was also continuing...
A smile appeared on her lips, and the monk turned out to be just like her...
She laughed again.
She keeps saying that God doesn't tolerate her, but it turns out that God doesn't tolerate him either!
"It seems that it's because he is too close to the lady." Yuanji guessed after listening to her story.
The first time I left Yangzhou City, no one saw the monk. He was probably hiding somewhere far away.
The second time I was on the roof of the palace, the distance was not too far, so I could be spotted by Wu Ya'er.
This time I stood in front of the lady and could even see the bag.
"In the future, we will strengthen the manpower around Miss."
This was all a trivial matter. Li Minglou smiled and let Yuanji arrange it, drank medicine and fell asleep deeply despite his physical pain.

The sunlight moved on the branches and leaves in the forest, and jumped on the lap of a person sitting under the tree. The man seemed to be sleeping, with a big bamboo hat covering his face. The sunlight was blocked by the bamboo hat, so he could only jump down naughtily and fall on him.
The back of the exposed hand...
There was a hissing sound, which seemed to be sparks coming out from the back of the hand, or a cry of pain coming from the mouth.
The bamboo hat didn't move, and his hands didn't move either. Someone rushed over and threw down a robe to cover his hands.
"I said before that her soul is neither human nor ghost, and can only be destroyed in the illusion. If she doesn't look back, the illusion can't kill her." The rich man sighed, "You have the idea of killing her body, so you can't.
Just to see through the secret of heaven, you will become a monster that cannot be allowed to exist in the world. Look at this obsession..." (Note)
The rich man clicked his tongue repeatedly.
"Burn this hand..."
He lifted up his clothes and looked at Monk Mu's hands through the gap. If anyone else had been around, he would have seen that the slender hands were smooth and well-proportioned, with no external injuries.
"How can rescuing people in distress and eliminating demons be an obsession?" Monk Mu said, wrapping his hand in clothes and taking it back in front of him.
The rich man laughed: "You are stupid. Don't think about killing her now. Think about it later. Otherwise, you will have to suffer a lot when you walk in front of her!"
Monk Mu stood up: "If I don't want to now, I won't be able to walk in front of her."
After speaking, he raised his feet and took a step forward, causing the thick fallen leaves to creak and smoke to rise.
The dust and smoke falling in the rich man's eyes were like sharp arrows, piercing the monk's feet...
He couldn't bear to see it and raised his hands to cover his eyes, and through the gaps between his fingers he saw that the monk was wearing a bamboo hat and his hands were wrapped in robes, like shackles and chains, stepping forward step by step with the sword and fire...
"How about I find you an umbrella too!" he shouted, and further stated, "I'm just looking for an umbrella for you, but don't expect me to hold it for you like that big-headed idiot soldier!"
Accompanied by his shouts, Monk Mu walked farther and farther in the forest step by step.
The sky is clear outside the mountain forest, and the mountain of swords and the sea of fire are boundless.

Li Minglou's chariot was galloping across the wilderness, surrounded by countless soldiers and horses in front and behind like black clouds.
Li Minglou was not sitting in the car. She had already arrived further ahead on her horse. She stood on the hillside and looked at the Henan Road boundary in front of her. She seemed to look at it for a long time and then in the blink of an eye, a group of galloping soldiers and horses appeared in her sight.
…
"Miss!" Yuanji said happily, "The young master is here!"
Although they were far apart, Li Minglou had already recognized Li Mingyu.
Li Mingyu has grown into a young man, and his appearance is becoming more and more familiar to her.
"Sister!" The boy on the horse shouted loudly, waved his hands, jumped off the horse, and seemed to be running faster than the horse...
Li Minglou hugged Li Mingyu who rushed over. The two looked at each other, laughing and crying...
"I have grown taller again." Li Minglou stroked Li Mingyu's head and face, "I have tanned."
Li Mingyu carefully looked at Li Minglou's face hidden in the hood, and then looked at Yuan Ji holding an umbrella to block the sun. She knew that Li Minglou's curse was still unresolved.
But now that he is older, he knows that suffering is normal, and if he wants to live, he must take pleasure in suffering.
"Sister," he said happily, "you are beautiful again."
Li Minglou laughed and took Li Mingyu to sit under the tent set up nearby.
"Will you not be discovered when you come out like this?" Li Minglou asked.
The emperor now does not trust those grown-up generals. As a child, Li Mingyu gained the emperor's trust and stayed by his side at all times.
"Now His Majesty is more interested in General Xiao Qi, who was once a criminal general in Jiannan Road, and now has Han Xu's support and is determined to make great achievements." Li Mingyu said with a smile, "While I am away, the emperor and General Xiao Qi will have a better chance to get close.
"
That's right! Li Minglou smiled and patted Li Mingyu on the head, his smile was cold. This emperor is really heart-breaking. He has no sincerity and only calculations.
"Everyone in the court is like this." Li Mingyu said, "It doesn't matter, I don't come here for sincerity, just give me power and it won't affect my work!"
Li Minglou smiled and nodded.
"Sister, please walk slower." Li Mingyu warned again, "I have learned everything about the emperor's palace, and you will know everything when you arrive."
Li Minglou smiled and said: "Don't worry, you don't have to do this deliberately. I sent someone first. He has already arrived and should enter the palace."
My sister had already made arrangements. Li Mingyu sighed happily and thought of something else: "Sister, be careful when traveling. There have been rebels in Henan Road recently."
Li Minglou was surprised: "How is it possible? Where did the rebels come from?"
"The flags all have the word An. Some say they are from Hedong Road, and some say they are from near Linzhou." Li Mingyu said, "They had already run away when my people went there, and they are still tracing them."
"Impossible." Li Minglou said, "An Qingzhong is dead, and Ande Zhong's troops have gone to the Western Regions. I deliberately guarded this area and not let any of them go."
Li Mingyu did not doubt her sister, and nodded: "Then it is estimated that the bandits pretended to be rebels. They did not attack the city or plunder the land. They burned, killed and looted several towns and then ran away. It is indeed the behavior of bandits."
Li Minglou said: "Don't worry, I will kill the bandits for you if you encounter them."
Li Mingyu stroked her palms: "Okay! Now that sister is here, I can have some leisure time. Sister, let me cook barbecue for you!"
Li Minglou smiled: "Can you still do this?"
Li Mingyu stood up and greeted others, and several guards carried a wild boar over.
"Sister, I got this on the way here!"
Li Minglou stood up in surprise and looked: "You can hunt wild boars. I can't hunt them yet. I can hunt rabbits at most."
Yuan Ji also looked around the wild boar, nodding and praising: "Good archery skills."
Li Mingyu made no secret of her pride in front of her relatives and ordered a bonfire to be lit.
Siblings who were isolated by soldiers and horses on the hillside enjoyed the relaxation and joy of being together.
In a passageway in the emperor's palace in Songzhou City, Wei Lu lowered his head and followed two eunuchs as they walked inward.
"It sounds like I recognize him. My godfather did work in Cheng'en Palace back then."
"I was so young back then that I can't even remember you."
Wei Wei sighed softly: "There were so many people at that time that we didn't even know anyone in the palace."
The past...the two eunuchs looked sad, and the prosperity was gone. Those people were all dead, in the palace, on the road, or somewhere unknown...
"Fortunately, I have the honor to meet His Majesty." Weiwei raised his hand to wipe away his tears, "I think of the blood in the palace back then..."
The two eunuchs hurriedly stopped him, "Stop talking about the past!" "Say something happy about it, so as not to scare Your Majesty."
Afterwards, he apologized repeatedly and came to a house. Under the eaves stood a tall, thin young eunuch with a long face. He was watching two eunuchs roasting dried fruits in a small oven, and reminded them from time to time, "Don't burn them."
"My queen is willing to eat some dried fruit." "My queen collected this with her own hands."
Two eunuchs came forward with Weiwei to salute "Eunuch Hu"
Before he knew it, he knew that this person was Hu Ping, the eunuch who is now the emperor's side.
"Are you Ayu? A lost member of the old palace?" Hu Ping asked.
Before he could answer, Hu Ping casually asked him a few old court affairs. Before he finished, he answered fluently and told a few more old court affairs. Hu Ping seemed to know but not quite sure... When Quan Hai and Cui Zheng had a dispute, Quan Hai and his party members had already
A group of eunuchs were beheaded in the palace by Wu Ya'er, and a large number were later convicted and executed by Cui Zheng. Almost all of those eunuchs with high authority, status and dignity died. Their humble escape from death has now become a trend.
They were not qualified to know too much about many palace secrets before.
Hu Ping didn't bother to ask. After His Majesty ascended the throne in Linzhou, there was a steady stream of eunuchs and maids who claimed to be lost... and the eunuch who called himself Ayu also gave him a large sum of money.
"Your Majesty is merciful. I don't care whether you are really lost or are running away from the Lord..." Hu Ping said calmly, "Your Majesty always says that we are pitiful people. Where else can we go if we don't come to the palace?"
Afterwards, he knelt down, kowtowed and choked with sobs, shouting "long live your majesty".
After finishing talking about the scene, Hu Ping entered the house without saying hello.
"What on earth do you want to do? You have so much money, there is no need to come to the palace to make a living." He asked in a low voice and with insight.
His eyes turned red before he finished: "I want to redress the grievances of the Songzhou Wu family!"
………
………
"I know this Wu family." The emperor wiped his hands after eating a simple meal and said, "The prefect of Songzhou told me that he is a wealthy local family, but he was convicted by Han Xu for inciting civil unrest."
Moreover, the prefect hinted that the full official treasury dedicated to His Majesty came from the Wu family.
These aristocratic families are really rich! The emperor knew it a long time ago and was very angry that they didn't use it for his own use!
You deserve to have your home confiscated!
"What is the relationship between this eunuch and the Wu family?"
"This eunuch was living among the people and was taken in by the Wu clan. The Wu clan also gave him a lot of money." Hu Ping said, "The slave also went out to inquire about the Wu clan. This is indeed the case. This eunuch has lived in Wu clan for a long time.
.”
Give money to eunuchs! The emperor sneered even more in his heart, they deserved to have their homes confiscated!
He lazily asked: "Then why are you complaining? The government has convicted you."
"Your Majesty, he said it was Han Xu who framed him." Hu Ping said, "He said that Han Xu asked for money from the Wu family and was not greedy enough. He simply framed the Wu family and destroyed his clan."
The emperor was delighted: "Is there any evidence?"
Hu Ping lowered his voice: "They say that Han Xu did the same thing as his mistress, Mrs. Chu, who exterminated the family and seized property..."
The emperor glared: "What kind of evidence is this? He's suing two people? Isn't this nonsense!"
"My slave, there is no conclusive evidence." Hu Ping nodded and said hurriedly, "Even if there is, we can't interrogate Mr. Han now!"
Master Han is a pillar! The emperor hummed slowly and wiped his hands over and over again without saying anything.
Hu Ping asked tentatively: "Would that slave drive him away?"
The emperor said: "That's not necessary..."
This eunuch wants to sue Han Xu, and it sounds like Mrs. Chu is also involved. Although Han Xu is very important now, these ministers all have the same problem. The more important they are, the less they know what to do, and they don't take him as the emperor seriously...
…
It is not a bad thing that these ministers have more enemies.
Will always come in handy in the future.
"Let him stop talking nonsense now," the emperor said, "and do his job well."
Now Hu Ping understood the meaning of these two words. Not saying it now meant that he would say it later. He suddenly looked happy. He had no good impression of ministers like Cui Zheng! He had not forgotten how Quan Hai and so many eunuchs in the palace died.
Yes! They were all harmed by these civil servants!
"Your Majesty, don't worry," he said, "I will take care of him."
The emperor threw down the handkerchief with satisfaction and frowned again: "Isn't Mrs. Chu here yet?"
Hu Ping curled his lips: "Mrs. Chu, you are very arrogant and walk slowly. Your Majesty, please wait a little longer."
The emperor smiled magnanimously and said, "Just take it slow, I don't mind waiting a little longer."
