For a long time, the two of them looked at each other, unable to conceal their astonishment.
"Did you feel it?" Liu Zhan felt that his throat was tight and his voice was squeezed out: "That breath seems to be the aura of the Taoist..."
"I also suspect so." After Huo Wuyong finished speaking, he wanted to say something more, but for some reason he swallowed it back and did not continue.
Speaking of the Emperor's Great Returning Pill, the Qiqiao Exquisite Heart comes to mind. Is it true that destiny allows the Emperor to live forever?
"The wind has picked up, it's time for me to go back." Standing up, Huo Wuyong said goodbye calmly.
The tea Liu Zhan just poured has not yet been drunk.
At the moment, both of them couldn't care less whether they looked impatient or unbecoming of a gentleman. Even Liu Zhan didn't try to stop him and said, "Okay, let's go back early, I'm afraid I'll be busy next time."
As long as the aura of entering the Tao is true, even a young master from a noble family will not be able to escape death.
Regardless of whether they like it or not, the two of them must cooperate with the emperor to refine the Great Return Pill, and they will probably be even busier after that.
And when the kings know that it is possible to master the Great Return Pill, will they try again?
Thinking of the destruction of the secret medicine needed to refine the Great Return Pill, both Liu Zhan and Huo Wuyong felt heavy in their hearts and a little suffocated.
It was raining outside, and the coolness was very refreshing. The two of them walked slowly in the breeze and drizzle, not talking, just thinking.
When he arrived at the door, he stood at the entrance of the Taoist temple and watched Huo Wuyong leave. Liu Zhan looked somewhere again and frowned: "This direction seems to be Wanglufang."
A strange premonition suddenly occurred, and Liu Zhan couldn't help but panic: "It can't be Dai Wang's palace? Could it be that Dai Wang has entered Taoism? Or... is it someone else in Dai Wang's palace?"
He stretched out his hand to calculate, but there seemed to be some invisible force stopping him. He felt upset and couldn't continue the calculation. He had no choice but to smile: "It seems that the wind is really going to blow."
Lu's old store
Ge Sheng went in thoughtfully and looked around. He saw that the inn had the marks of wheels rolling over it. The west courtyard had low buildings, one next to the other, and there were twenty rooms in a row. The east courtyard was different, with semi-independent rooms.
The small courtyard is relatively quiet.
After entering the hospital, someone came to greet him. He didn't say anything and ran out. Ge Sheng knew that he was checking to see if anyone was following him.
In the capital city, the water is very deep. Guards, forbidden troops, eunuchs, Beijing Camp, Imperial City Department, Criminal Department, Shuntian Prefecture, Inspection Department... If an outsider wants to find out how many legal and semi-legal security yamen there are, it will really take a lot of money.
With little time and low status, those with low status may never be able to figure it out.
So who knows who happens to be following behind?
Although Ge Sheng felt safe, he couldn't help but feel nervous. He went inside and saw a group of people standing with their hands down. Cao Yiyan was drinking tea and sitting upright in the middle. Sitting next to him was a middle-aged man, and in front of him were five people. What?
There were people there, including a man in silk, a boatman in patches, and a woman in all her glory. All five of them stood respectfully, speaking only when it was their turn.
The person speaking at this time was a very young boatman, describing the scene when he was being questioned by the king.
"...The king also asked his subordinates if they knew who was behind the scenes, and also asked if they knew the assassin? Naturally, they all said they didn't know."
"You only asked these few questions?" Cao Yiyan frowned.
This person was not the first to report the matter. The other person had just reported it. Is it no different from the problem encountered by the person who had infiltrated the boat gang?
Could it be that Dai Wang really casts a wide net and only asks some innocuous questions to everyone? Even if he answers these questions, Dai Wang will not be able to get clues from them!
Or is it true, as his subordinates said, that the acting king was just venting his anger and didn't find anything?
Unlike some people who had a vague contempt for King Dai, who had only been in Beijing for a few years, Cao Yiyan had personally come into contact with King Dai more than once, and was wary of this man from the bottom of his heart.
Every time I see King Dai, I feel uncontrollable hostility and vigilance.
This feeling was something that the two kings of Qi and Shu had never given him since they had been entrenched in the capital for many years. This was why Cao Yiyan suspected that King Dai was the emerging emperor star alongside himself in the astrology.
How could such a person who he thought would become a formidable enemy do such a useless thing?
"What about you? What did King Dai ask?" He waved the man to stand aside, and Cao Yiyan looked at the last two people.
There were two people, a man and a woman. The man was one of the musicians on the ship that day and was one of Cao Yiyan's people. The woman was a young waiter who was invited to accompany the ship to drink and sing. She was also placed in the capital of Dazheng by Ying Guoan.
The answers given by these two people will be much more detailed.
The man reported: "Because all the musicians who boarded the ship were called for questioning, my subordinates also went to Shuntian Mansion and waited in a courtyard of Shuntian Mansion. These are no different from what the previous ones said, but
The questions asked by the king on behalf of his subordinates are somewhat different."
He recalled: "The king first asked about the origin of his subordinate's name, and then asked about the process of his learning skills. The subordinate talked about what he could. He seemed to be very interested in what the musician did on a daily basis, and asked again
Some of them actually had little to do with the assassination, and in the end they seemed to have asked perfunctorily if they knew the person behind the scenes, and what else they did on the ship besides playing the piano."
The woman glanced at Cao Yiyan timidly and said in a low voice: "The king only asked about my concubine's name, where she came from, whether she had seen the assassin in the past, and whether she knew the inside story. There was nothing else."
"Really?" Cao Yiyan waved her hand and stepped back, frowning, obviously dissatisfied with the report.
The middle-aged man shook his fan and smiled: "My boss, what's wrong? Judging from their report, it seems that there is nothing serious. The king should not be able to find out anything from it. Why are you still frowning?"
This is the capital city, even if it is a separate house, be careful not to call it the king, but the master.
Cao Yiyan also felt that her current reaction was a bit unusual. She coughed lightly and stared at the flowers in the courtyard silently: "It's not a big question. They answered it well and didn't reveal anything at all. But I don't know why. I always feel a little uneasy."
?”
"Do you think these are just the king's tricks to deliberately confuse us and make us less vigilant and do other things secretly?"
The middle-aged man pondered for a moment: "In order to use a cover-up, you have to find us first, but we didn't show any flaws at all. Is the owner overly concerned?"
"Maybe." After pacing around the room, Cao Yiyan still couldn't feel at ease. It seemed as if there was a force that was constantly disturbing his mood, making him upset and agitated.
As a person who has entered the spiritual realm like him, he will naturally not treat this reaction as ordinary. After pondering for a while, he said to the middle-aged man: "Ignore this matter for now. Just now, you said that there is another force in the capital?"
"Yes, our trading company is an old trading company in the capital. When we withdrew, we reportedly realized that something was wrong. Someone was behind the conspiracy. However, the previous owner left in a hurry and could no longer be traced."
