"Master, isn't this your suggestion? Why are you giving up halfway now?" Guo Sangsang looked back and forth at Xu Zhihe with a smirk on his face, looking back and forth at the girl standing next to her, looking like a little bird.
Xu Zhi gritted her teeth and said bitterly: "I think you are going to rebel against Tiangang, Guo Sangsang!"
"Princess, save me!" Guo Sangsang looked indebted. With a stern expression, he looked at the girl in gorgeous clothes.
This girl in gorgeous clothes is the protagonist of this Prince Consort incident, Chu Lingran, the only daughter of King Chu.
I saw her whispering: "Sister Xu Zhi, I insisted on sticking it up, so don't blame Sangsang."
Looking at Chu Lingran, who looked as delicate as a little white flower, Xu Zhi also looked helpless.
The situation is very complicated. If it can be summed up in one sentence, Xu Zhi, after going through a lot, stood out among the competitors and was entangled by Chu Lingran.
Xu Zhi sighed and said: "Princess, you and I are both daughters, and the king will not agree."
Chu Lingran shook his head timidly and said: "Father The king loves me the most and will not refuse my request. Besides, we are both monks, so there is no need to be restricted by gender. At that time, we only need to select a child from the clan to inherit the throne."
As she spoke, a tear even overflowed from the corner of her eye, "Sister Xu Zhi, if you don't like me, why did you attend my son-in-law selection party."
Facing the girl with the eyebrows that were about to die, Xu Zhi had nothing to say. She just got in to find out the information about Shahai.
I could only say perfunctorily: "It's a very important matter. Princess, I'd better let me think about it for a few days. When I make a decision, I will definitely give the princess an answer. Is that okay?"
Chu Lingran nodded weakly before saying goodbye and leaving.
After she left, the expression on Xu Zhi's face suddenly fell. When she wanted to cause trouble on a whim, she didn't expect that it would eventually happen to herself.
After the decision was made that day, she took advantage of this opportunity to get acquainted with the director of the Wuma Anti-Crime Division, and got into the circle of the consorts of Chu. As a result, she was killed by Chu at the son-in-law selection meeting. Ling Ran's eyes confirmed his feelings.
"Master, don't be discouraged. Our plan is still useful." Guo Sangsang analyzed with his fingers, "At least we know that this son-in-law selection meeting is just a cover-up. The King of Chu has probably been corrupted by the devil. Now, isn’t it?”
Xu Zhi nodded. This time she got into Da Chu’s upper-class circle, so she naturally gained nothing. She even got a chance to catch a glimpse of the King of Chu, and that was all. At a glance, she found some clues.
Da Chu is one of the last two countries that defends Huazhou. Logically speaking, it should be the forbidden area of the Demon Gate. After all, Da Chu is quite powerful. There are even two ancestors of the soul in the palace. Sit down.
But both Xu Zhi and Yan Zhilan saw a hint of Jiuyou's demonic energy in King Chu's eyes, indicating that Jiuyou Dao had penetrated into the Great Chu Palace.
Of course, this is also because Xu Zhi practices the Tao of Doom and is more sensitive to the various energies in the world. Zhilan herself is the direct descendant of Jiuyou Tao.
Ordinary monks would never notice such clues.
Following this point, Xu Zhi followed the clues and soon made more discoveries. Among the two pillars of the country in Da Chu, the ancestor with the third decline of Yuan Shen has not been exposed for thousands of years. It's too late. According to speculation, he should be in the decline of longevity.
The monks who are in trouble have always been the favorite prey of Jiuyou Dao.
Xu Zhi judged that this Yuan Shen had most likely been corrupted by the demon of Jiuyou Dao.
However, even if there are clues, Xu Zhi cannot enter the palace at will. After all, this is the most heavily guarded forbidden area in Dachu. Although it is likely to have been infiltrated by demons, it is still not at the level of a mere Yin God. Xu Zhi could spy on it.
As a last resort, Xu Zhi had no choice but to set her sights on Chu Lingran again. They got along with each other, but the girl fell in love with him even more. Xu Zhi shook her head and said: "After attending the outing banquet in three days, I will change my mind and avoid provoking this princess."
Three days later, the King of Chu came again. An outing banquet was held inside the palace, which was another rare opportunity, and Xu Zhi would not miss it.
Not long after Chu Lingran left, a young man pushed in the door and said with a smile: "Fellow Daoist Xu, I see that Lingran just left here, you two are getting along happily."
< br>This young man is Li Haoran, the director of the Wuma Ji Ji Department. In his eyes, the Taoist friend named Xu whom he met can actually become a close friend of Princess Lingran, so he will naturally be his best help.
Therefore, his attitude towards Xu Zhi was also very good. Not only did he contribute this luxurious house, but he also fulfilled all Xu Zhi's requests.
The reason is that Xu Zhi can use his identity as Chu Lingran’s close friend to help him achieve his goals.
Xu Zhi was in a bad mood, so she just replied lightly: "The princess just came to sit for a while and informed me that she would attend an outing banquet in the palace the day after tomorrow. She didn't stay long."
Li Haoran looked at Xu Zhi's face as beautiful as a celestial being. Not only did his heart heat up, but he also said in his heart: "In terms of beauty, this Taoist Xu is even better than Princess Lingran. After I marry Lingran in the future, I can take her with me." Bringing her into the room and giving her the status of a side room can be regarded as a reward for her hard work."
Xu Zhi knew what was going on in the mind of the person in front of her with just a glance, but it was not easy to think about it at this moment. When something happened, he just said coldly: "Young Daoist Li has other things to do during this trip, but I am a little tired."
Li Haoran's eyes flashed with an unseen ruthlessness, but he immediately covered it up and pretended to smile casually: "I came here to inform fellow Taoists that I have also prepared the outing banquet for you in the future. An invitation letter, but since Ling Ran has already said it, it seems a bit redundant."
"I wonder if you, Taoist Xu, would like to attend the banquet with me in the future."
Xu Zhi shook her head and declined: "Ling Ran said that she would accompany me in the future, so I don't want to bother fellow Daoist Li."
Hearing this, Li Haoran felt a mixture of joy and anger in his heart, but he was naturally happy. It seemed that the relationship between the princess and Xu Zhi was very cordial. Naturally, she was angry that Xu Zhi seemed to be out of control.
But Li Haoran was a Golden elixir cultivator after all. He quickly suppressed what was in his mind and said with a smile on his face: "Fellow Taoist Xu, please take a good rest, and I will not disturb you for now."
After Li Haoran left, Guo Sangsang said: "Master, do you want me to teach him a lesson? Zadan, he really takes himself seriously."
Xu Zhi said lightly: "Everything Let’s wait until after the outing party to sort things out.”
……
Three days later.
It is March, the sky is high and the air is crisp. It is a good time for outings in the countryside, and the outing banquet has arrived as scheduled.
The location of this outing banquet was the Chu Emperor's private garden, which was an oasis in the sand. It was filled with exotic flowers and plants, and the trees complemented each other, creating a beautiful place.
Before Xu Zhi and his party arrived at the garden gate, they saw Chu Lingran coming over with a group of maids. She herself even took Xu Zhi's arm very kindly.
Xu Zhi, who originally wanted to enter the scene in a low-key manner and explore Emperor Chu, looked at the gazes gathered and had to secretly change his strategy.
She took Chu Lingran’s hand very naturally and stepped into the garden forest.
