Chapter 341 The news spreads
Under the moonlight, crows were still circling overhead.
On the tomb in the mass grave, the former Great Master of the Yu Dynasty, bewitching the real person, sat on the board of his coffin.
He was stunned for a moment before he heard what the other person said clearly, then he shook his head and said blankly: "I don't know."
"Don't know?" The scrawled man put the long sword made of copper coins on his back and marveled:
"Then it seems that after you died, your soul was not taken back by Rampant God at all. Haha, there are many people in the capital who can block Rampant God. That female emperor, Zhang Yanyi, and that one who barely shows his face, but whose strength is indescribable The great monk Xuanyin who tests... can do it."
With that said, the leader of the "Ming Sect", one of the three major evil organizations in the world, said:
"I have warned you a long time ago that going to the capital is extremely risky. Three heavenly beings are crowded in that city. Are you crazy and uncomfortable? Who do you think you are? The Wuxiankui on the cliff of Qingshan Mountain in the East China Sea?"
Master Bewitched looked annoyed, and sneered and retorted:
"Pindao is different from those of you who hide in the dark. Pindao wants to do big things."
"Yeah, okay, let's do something big." The leader of the Hades Cult nodded perfunctorily.
Not wanting to argue with this guy whose mind was filled with lust, he chuckled and said:
"Sooner or later, you will be swallowed up by your own desires. As an evil cultivator that everyone wants to beat, you insist on becoming a national teacher. The old emperor lost his mind back then and gave you a two-year advantage, so he should be satisfied.
He should have left quickly before the old emperor died to avoid being liquidated by the new crown prince.
It turned out that it was good for you. You coveted the position of the imperial master and refused to give up. You supported Xu Jianwen and participated in the internal fighting in the palace... You died once and you didn't have a long memory. Then you come again. "
Master Bewitched was ridiculed, and he sneered back:
"You say you are pretty, so why are you willing to cooperate with Kuangfu Society? Don't tell Pindao, you are just making money. Aren't you also interested in the tombs of the royal family? Are you greedy for the yin energy that has been cultivated for six hundred years?"
The poorly dressed leader of the Hades did not refute and smiled:
"What are you going to do next?"
"Hiding to recuperate," Master Zhuo said without concealing his intention to recuperate:
"Then go to Zhuang Xiaocheng and ask him to find out how Pindao died this time. Hmph, Pindao has recorded this grudge!"
When he said these words, the old Taoist priest's face was ferocious and terrifying, as if he would not give up until he killed his enemy.
The scrawled man in red clothes turned around and left, tossing and catching the copper coin in his palm, and said:
"I would like to remind you that if you die again, even if you can afford the price, I can't guarantee that you can still be brought back."
Master Bewitch said nothing and sat on the grave with an expressionless face.
What he didn't say was that he didn't know who killed him.
But this time, relying on the mysterious connection between the two souls, he vaguely realized that there was something in the person who killed him that made him extremely afraid and extremely greedy.
"Pindao has set his sights on you."
The old Taoist priest looked at the bright moon above his head and said softly.
…
…
One night passed, the darkness receded, and the whiteness of the fish belly appeared again in the east.
When Zhao Duan woke up from his sleep, his first reaction was burning pain all over his body.
"Hiss...ah..."
When he moved a little, he grimaced in pain from the wound, and reluctantly sat up. He was stunned to find that he was still in the conservatory of the palace.
The coffee table and other objects in front of me were already knocked over, as if they had been hit by heavy objects many times.
He lowered his head and found that the clothes on his body were torn into strips... His chest was full of scratches, and there was a strange bruise on his stomach...
"..." Zhao Duan's expression was dull, not understanding what happened last night.
"Are you awake?" Suddenly, a cold voice came from my ears.
Xu Zhenguan yawned and walked out of the "back room".
She was still wearing the same gauze dress, no different from last night before going to bed, except that her face was a little tired, as if she hadn't slept well.
In the pseudo-celestial state, she still couldn't get rid of the need for sleep. Although she was always energetic in the past, she always slept for at least two hours at night.
But last night... her sleep quality was very poor!
"Your Majesty... I was... last night..."
Zhao Duan showed a strong desire for knowledge and was puzzled by the scars on his body.
Xu Zhenguan glanced at him and said lightly:
"You lost control of your mind last night and were very dishonest. I had no choice but to stop you."
This was said in an elegant way, but when translated, it means you beat me... Zhao Duan complained, and at the same time he was also curious about why he was so crazy that he could be beaten like this...
He tried to remember, but the memory of last night only stayed before falling asleep.
"I see, thank you for your Majesty's intervention!" Zhao Duan stood up and saluted, and then found that he was also limping on both legs.
He had to thank us for being beaten... Xu Zhenguan twitched the corner of his mouth, feeling a little sorry.
Although this guy's indomitable spirit last night was really annoying. Among the six desires, there was no appetite or greed for money. There was only one desire...
From this perspective, it’s quite specific…
"Come here, get the trauma medicine, take back Mr. Zhao's clothes, and bring some food." Xu Zhenguan ordered outside the door.
At this time, the sky was bright and the doors and windows were white.
This difficult night finally passed, and Zhao Duan understood that he had survived the "sequelae", and all that remained in his body was pure "soul power" that could be absorbed by him.
When it is slowly digested, it will be time to advance to the middle level of the divine chapter.
As for the Death Statue and the Candle Magical Instrument, the Empress had no idea for him.
Not surprisingly, the imperial court always destroyed or hid the "evil treasures" in a safe place to prevent them from wandering outside. Not a moment.
The door of the palace was pushed open, and with the coolness and morning mist of the autumn morning, a famous palace maid came in carrying a tray.
When he saw the messy living room that had obviously gone through a "big battle" in the room, as well as Zhao Duan's clothes that had been torn into strips, especially the bloody scratches on his chest.
Although they have all received professional training, the expressions of a group of palace maidens serving the empress have obviously become extremely subtle.
Even scary.
As the maids of the palace, they know much more about the relationship between His Majesty and Mr. Zhao than outsiders.
Most people also know that the so-called "face-shou" has never spent the night in the palace, and it is 80% false.
Therefore, I was particularly shocked when I saw this scene.
The look in Zhao Duan's eyes was different.
So crazy?
The poor imagination of the palace ladies could not conceive of the possibility of "scratching it by themselves", and instinctively thought that it was His Majesty who caught it.
"Master Zhao... please change your clothes." The palace maid's voice faltered as she spoke.
"Put it down, I will do it myself." Zhao Duan smiled warmly.
After a group of palace maids exited with excitement in their eyes, the empress also walked back to the back room to avoid suspicion, leaving Zhao Duan to apply the wound medicine and change back into his original robes.
After they were fully dressed, the monarch and his ministers simply ate something in the room and pressed their stomachs. Xu Zhenguan put down the bowls and chopsticks and said calmly:
"There is still morning service today, I should go. You can go back on your own."
"I obey." Zhao Duan also put down his bowls and chopsticks.
Xu Zhen looked at him with strange eyes, and suddenly said:
"It's been a long time since you let Zhuang Xiaocheng go."
Zhao Duan nodded seriously and said:
"I was just about to report to Your Majesty that Zhuang Xiaocheng is hiding in the world and his whereabouts are hard to find. This time I arrested the traitor in Beijing overnight, not only to give him a heavy blow, but also to take the opportunity to make some arrangements."
Xu Zhen looked at him and said calmly without questioning:
"Whatever you want to do, just go and sit down. I'm sure."
The weight of this sentence is extremely important, which means that the empress has given him the power to do some things that are against the party and not in compliance with the regulations.
Zhao Duan stood up, solemnly said yes, and then turned to leave.
When he opened the carved wooden door of the palace and walked out, his face was splashed with the morning air, and the warmth and fragrance that had lingered on his body all night quickly faded away.
At this time, he heard the bell ringing in the direction of the Meridian Gate through the palace gates.
The courtiers entered the palace.
…
…
When the princes in the court wore official robes, passed through the Meridian Gate and entered the Hall of Supreme Harmony, they stood still on the left and right sides.
I found that His Majesty did not arrive in time today. According to the rules, as long as His Majesty does not come, it will not be considered a court meeting, and you can chat in a low voice.
At this moment, a group of ministers naturally started talking about the "return of the national master".
A full day has passed since the National Master appeared, but what happened last night has not spread yet, and people do not yet know that the National Master has been arrested.
Instead, what happened to Kong Hanlin and the others last night has attracted much attention, and this will spread in the Jinluan Palace.
"Is Kong Hanlin really dead? Did he hang himself in the study?"
"It is said that Lieutenant General Qianniu also went crazy and set fire to his house. The fire shot into the sky. The Lieutenant General killed people wantonly and was controlled by the officials of the imperial office. They said they were still waiting for him to regain his consciousness."
"Priest Zhao from the Tianshi Mansion stayed in a private residence last night. He said he was also injured. He was taken back by the Tianshi disciples that night, but he was not seriously injured."
There was a lot of discussion!
As the news spread, the faces of the officials in the palace became ugly, accompanied by anxiety and a touch of fear.
They are not too afraid of martial arts masters, because they can see and touch them, and they can also be protected by guards.
But this weird technique is really scary, especially when one person dies, one goes mad, and one is injured overnight.
Everyone is in danger!
Someone went to find Ma Yan to verify the news, but found that Ma Yan had not gone to court today.
Only Yuan Li and Li Yanfu, the two figures who were the pinnacles of their respective factions, looked as usual, but they were very good at cultivating qi, and they were not without any fluctuations in their hearts.
"Quiet! Your Majesty has arrived!" Suddenly, a eunuch walked in and shouted at the top of his lungs.
In an instant, all the officials returned to their seats and all silenced.
A few moments.
After changing into a dragon robe and wearing a crown, the empress stepped into the dragon chair. Xu Zhenguan smiled:
"What are you talking about? I'm listening outside."
Yuan Li said: "Your Majesty, I am discussing how to deal with the demon. The demon will bring harm to the country and cannot be left for a long time."
Xu Zhenguan nodded slightly to express his agreement, glanced at the Gungun princes below, and said calmly:
"I was about to tell you that last night, Zhao Du'an, the Inspector of the Imperial Office, led his men to pull out the rudder of the Kuangfu Society. They encountered a demon and killed him on the spot."
In an instant, the court became quiet.
