Chapter nine hundred and seventieth will return to the Taoist Palace
Chang'an, Shuhou Mansion.
Zhuang Zhou followed Lin Ze to the ground and asked with a puzzled look on his face: "Junior Brother announced in front of Brother Yu the day before yesterday that he wanted to unite all the princes and rule the world. Why did he suddenly abandon the army and return to Chang'an?"
Lin Ze chuckled and said, "Senior brother, don't be anxious. Follow me to the study and sit for a while. Let me come slowly."
"Come here, make a pot of good tea, pick some fresh fruits, and bring them to my study."
As soon as Lin Ze gave the order, a group of servants responded: "Your Majesty, wait a moment, the little one will be sent over immediately."
With a smile on his face, Lin Ze extended his hand to Zhuang Zhou and said, "Senior brother, please."
Zhuang Zhou took a deep look at Lin Ze and walked to the study.
After the two of them were seated respectively, Zhuang Zhou couldn't wait to ask: "Junior brother, it's time to say it now. Could it be that he suddenly changed his mind and didn't want to rule the world so quickly to avoid the cold at high places?"
Lin Ze smiled and shook his head and said: "Senior Brother, what you said is wrong. Junior Brother did not mean this. The reason why we changed generals and returned to Chang'an should be clear to Senior Brother."
Zhuang Zhou frowned slightly when he heard this: "Is it because of the backlash from heaven?"
Lin Ze nodded slightly and said: "Senior brother guessed half of it right. The main reason is that due to the backlash of heaven's way, junior brother has very little cultivation left and is inconvenient to travel outside."
"Instead of suffering the backlash of heaven while wandering around, it is better to leave the matter to my subordinates and return to Chang'an to enjoy peace and happiness."
"Besides, junior brother has a large number of people under his command. We cannot raise them in vain. We must find something to do for them no matter what. According to the results, we will reward those who deserve it and punish them with those that deserve it. This is the best way to govern a dynasty."
"The Western Qin is such a vast land, spanning thousands of miles. We can't rely on our junior brother, the monarch, to do everything."
Zhuang Zhou thought for a while and said with relief: "Junior brother is thoughtful and what he said is absolutely correct."
"I just don't know what the specific situation of my junior brother is now? Can he still withstand the backlash of heaven? Do he need help from his senior brother?"
Lin Ze couldn't help but be a little more vigilant after hearing this, and said with a smile: "Thank you for your concern, senior brother. My junior brother is in good condition, but it's just that the fate is difficult to gather under the backlash of heaven. In addition, it is difficult to return to normal cultivation. In addition, it seems that there is no
There will be no other impact.”
"As for whether we need help from senior brother, it depends on whether senior brother can find a corresponding solution. Otherwise, I'd better not bother senior brother."
Zhuang Zhou pondered for a moment after hearing this, and then thought for a while and said: "As far as Brother Yu knows, in a situation similar to that of Junior Brother, there is no other way but to gather a large amount of luck and eliminate the backlash of heaven's influence."
As if he felt that this sentence was too perfunctory, Zhuang Zhou added: "Brother Yu has just entered the realm of saints. His eyes are similar to before, and it is difficult to reach too far. It is normal."
"Teacher's cultivation is unfathomable. Maybe there is a way. Why don't you, junior brother, follow me back to the Dao Palace?"
"Return to Dao Palace?"
Lin Ze looked hesitant when he heard this: "Junior brother, I remember that when the Confucian sage Buddha and the Tongtian Sword Master lost their holy positions, they worked together to blockade the Dao Palace. If you and I return to the Dao Palace now, we may not be able to see the teacher."
Zhuang Zhou said firmly: "It is precisely because the Dao Palace is blocked that you and I should go back to the Dao Palace. Maybe we can find a way to break the seal of the Three Saints."
"If we can break the seal of the Three Saints and let the children of the Dao Palace regain their freedom, and we can also get a quick solution from the teacher to solve the backlash of the Heavenly Dao, wouldn't it kill two birds with one stone?"
Lin Ze forced a smile and did not answer.
In Lin Ze's view, the disappearance of the three Confucian saints and the sealing of the Taoist saints was simply the most satisfactory result.
As for finding a way to release the Taoist Saint, it was completely out of Lin Ze's consideration.
If the Taoist Saint was in danger, Lin Ze would do his best to save him because of his past friendship.
However, now that the Taoist Saint is just locked up in the Taoist Palace, there is no danger at all. Lin Ze went to save him because of his stupidity and found himself a dictating emperor.
Zhuang Zhou glanced at Lin Ze's expression and asked, "Junior brother seems unwilling to return to Dao Palace to save the teacher?"
Lin Ze looked helpless and sighed repeatedly: "It's not that junior brother is unwilling, but that junior brother is unable to do what he wants and is full of sorrow."
Zhuang Zhou advised sincerely: "No matter what the result is, doing something is better than not doing it at all. If you fail, you can have a clear conscience. If you succeed, wouldn't it be another good story?"
Lin Ze spread his hands when he heard this: "With my junior brother in a state of half-waste, what do you think I can do?"
Zhuang Zhou replied without thinking: "The first step is to come with me back to Dao Palace to investigate the situation."
As soon as he said this, Lin Ze's face showed a look of surprise, and Zhuang Zhou circled around. It turned out that he just wanted to accompany him back to the Dao Palace.
Lin Ze looked Zhuang Zhou up and down, and a conjecture came to mind: Could Zhuang Zhou be worried that he would be punished by the Taoist Saint for his promotion to a saint, so he deliberately brought me with him?
In order to confirm this conjecture, Lin Ze had an idea flash in his mind and said calmly: "When the teacher encounters trouble, you and I, as disciples, must obey him."
"It's just that junior brother suddenly remembered that there are still some government affairs to be dealt with. How about this, senior brother, go first, as short as three days, as long as seven days. After junior brother has finished his busy work, how about meeting him at the Dao Palace?"
Zhuang Zhou probably didn't expect that Lin Ze would say this. He was stunned for a moment and quickly returned to normal.
Zhuang Zhou said with an indifferent expression: "The seal of the Three Saints cannot be broken in a moment. Junior Brother, please do your work first. Senior Brother, I will wait for you here."
"It's only three to five days. If the teacher can wait, so can the senior brother."
Seeing Zhuang Zhou like this, Lin Ze was almost certain that Zhuang Zhou was worried about being blamed by the Taoist sage and wanted to find someone to support him, so he took his with him.
Compared with Zhuang Zhou, who secretly promoted himself to the saint realm, Lin Ze was truly bold when he teamed up with Emperor Qin to scheme against the saint.
In particular, Lin Ze's destiny was shattered and his luck plummeted. It was very likely that some of the Taoist Saint's plans were ruined. What awaited him might be either scolding or some kind of punishment.
Even worse, two things may happen at the same time.
Just as Lin Ze's thoughts were racing, Zhuang Zhou's voice came to his ears: "Junior brother, hurry up and handle the government affairs. Brother Yu is waiting for you here."
Lin Ze took a breath when he heard this, Zhuang Zhou was determined not to give up until he achieved his goal.
After thinking for a moment, Lin Ze suddenly smiled and said: "Junior brother is confused, it's just some government affairs, how can it be compared to the teacher and the disciples of the Dao Palace?"
"It won't be too late to deal with it after the teacher is rescued. Senior brother, you and I will return to Dao Palace now."
Zhuang Zhou looked at Lin Ze with a half-smile but not a smile: "Really?"
Lin Ze said righteously: "That's natural. Junior brother suddenly remembered something. When junior brother founded the country, senior brother used a secret method to connect the destiny of the country of Western Qin and the destiny of the Taoist palace."
"At that time, senior brother said that even if the battle for destiny failed, he could use this to save junior brother's life. Now junior brother is in urgent need of luck, I wonder if I can get some of it back?"
