Xiuxian first lady

Chapter 113 - The strategy is wrong
To Bai Xiaoxiao's surprise, the current national teacher, Jiao Yuxuan, is not such a childlike elder brother like Xu Qin.

As soon as she and Bai Yan arrived at the palace, someone greeted them and took them to the residence of the national teacher without making a fuss.

She saw a very handsome young man with a sickly face.

"So it's Junior Sister Bai!" The other party laughed as soon as he saw her, but he was obviously out of breath, and there was weakness in his laughter, "If that's the case, I can feel at ease."

Bai Xiaoxiao was stunned for a while before realizing that this young man was the rumored national teacher, Jiao Yuxuan, whose life was in danger.

Jiao Yuxuan is 260 years old this year, but because of breaking through Qin's state of mind, his face has returned to a childish face. He looks about the same age as her senior brother Xun Xi, and is not a few years older than Bai Xiaoxiao herself.

"Does the national teacher know me?" Bai Xiaoxiao asked curiously.

Remember the last time Master Qingping announced that the Heavenly Asking Sword Sect would no longer interfere in human affairs, even though Emperor Zhou went up to the mountain to apologize, he didn't bring this senior with him?
"What is the name of the national teacher!" Jiao Yuxuan's attitude was very approachable, and he took Bai Xiaoxiao's hand and sat down together, and then he took a deep breath, "They are all from Tianwen Mountain. How old am I? Just call me senior brother." .”

He couldn't see the outside world and leaned his body on the couch, as if he couldn't support it, but he still smiled and said: "Although you and I have never met, but that day, my junior sister was in front of everyone in the world, and asked Dean Su to use the spirit of dementia The ability to expose the truth about eliminating demons, and her courage are truly admirable."

Only then did Bai Xiaoxiao remember that he had seen herself in the mirror sky spell, so she nodded.Seeing that his voice became lower and his breathing became heavier, he realized that the weakness was real.

It is also because I have seen too much bluff from the teachers and commanders before, and I always feel that Jianzong can't suffer, but he just uses this posture to count others.

For example, her teacher's injury is certainly true, but when she shows weakness in public, doesn't it imply that she wants to deceive others! ...

Thinking of Chen Qingcheng, Bai Xiaoxiao couldn't help but her heart skipped a beat twice, even her breathing became a little anxious.She quickly collected herself and concentrated on listening to Jiao Yuxuan's words.

Jiao Yuxuan gasped for a while before slowly talking about what happened before.

The three parties and five kingdoms in Shenzhou all relied on Tianzong for their existence, and the disciples sent by Tianzong to the imperial court not only had the power to counsel state affairs, but also had the responsibility to protect the imperial power.

The first thing Jiao Yuxuan did after he became the national teacher was to cast a twin spell on the emperor at that time, binding his wealth and luck with the emperor.

With this spell, except that the emperor's lifespan cannot be equal to that of the caster, his physique will become the same as that of the caster, the body will not be hurt by the sword, the poison will not invade, and the disease will not occur.

Under such protection, the first two emperors supported by Jiao Yuxuan both enjoyed a long life and died without any illness.

The current emperor is already the third generation of his assistants.

Because of his good health and longevity, the emperors of all dynasties were also willing to devote themselves to the government and to be a wise king that the people liked to see.And the state of Zhou today is the rightful king praised by the government and the public.

It happened that under the rule of this emperor, the royal clan instigated people to make a big disturbance in Tianwen Mountain, and after he went to the mountain to apologize, he was cursed by someone not long after, and almost lost his life.

"So, the emperor is fine now, but the spell has been passed on to senior brother?" Bai Xiaoxiao's heart tightened when she heard this, and she quickly asked, "How to solve this curse? If I can help..."

Jiao Yuxuan smiled again, but the smile was as indifferent as the tone.

"If I can solve it, I don't have to rush to summon the head, and ask him to send another junior and younger sister here." He said this with a very calm attitude, as if he was not talking about his own life, "Junior sister Don't worry about these things, just stay with me and wait and see."

Bai Xiaoxiao didn't answer right away.

The senior brother in front of him is obviously also a person who values ​​the safety of others more than himself.

For more than a year, the people she met on Tianwen Mountain, especially the acquaintances, were all like this.

So what can she do?
Never let them down.

……

From this day on, Bai Xiaoxiao lived in the residence of the national teacher as a disciple of the next mountain, and even the emperor did not go to pay a special visit.

The emperor naturally knew she was coming, but the situation in front of him was already very critical, so they had to restrain each other and wait for the person behind the scenes to make a move.

At the same time, Bai Xiaoxiao was also concerned about the situation of Jiao Yuxuan's spell.

As far as she is concerned, the behind-the-scenes forces that are detrimental to Jianzong must be exposed, but the less sacrifices incurred for this, the better.

Or the leaders of Jianzong, and even Jiao Yuxuan himself thought this kind of sacrifice was worthwhile, but she didn't agree.

She thought of someone she could go to for help.

She knew the "authentic" teacher in the sea.

Chen Qingcheng's true knowledge has never surfaced since Bai Xiaoxiao impulsively revealed his feelings on the day of the sword test meeting.

Bai Xiaoxiao didn't know whether it was out of embarrassment or other reasons, but she just couldn't face him, so she didn't get to the bottom of it.

But now she really needs help.

Just investigating the palace and looking for suspicious people, she thought she could do it alone, but she knew that she was far from capable of this kind of technical work of saving lives.

So as soon as she returned to her room, she sat in meditation and concentrated her spiritual consciousness into the sea of ​​consciousness.

Chen Qingcheng's true knowledge has not responded.

That day, Bai Xiaoxiao heard Qingping Daoist explain that her green bamboo avatar was destroyed, leaving only a fragile incarnation, which could not afford her spiritual consciousness in the first place.But Chen Qingcheng's true knowledge entered her body and forcibly raised her realm, which is equivalent to cheating the law of body-spirit harmony to save her life.

Now her real realm has not been broken through, so she can be sure that Chen Qingcheng's true knowledge is still alive for one day.

It seems that he just doesn't want to talk to her.

Bai Xiaoxiao sighed helplessly, and finally gave up the idea of ​​asking him to help undo Jiao Yuxuan's curse.

There is also a large-scale library in the National Teacher's Mansion. It has not been long since the emperor was cursed, and the people in the dark have not acted for a while, so she might as well go through the books by herself to find out what can be done.

This turn over is more than a month.

After being cursed on behalf of the emperor, Jiao Yuxuan complained of illness and refused to court, and then became weaker and weaker day by day.Bai Xiaoxiao was very worried that she hadn't found any way, at least to help him hang his life, it would be too late.

The emperor also seemed to be worried about this, so he came to the mansion to visit the national teacher himself.

Bai Xiaoxiao appeared next to her as a confidant of the national teacher, and she didn't show any strangeness when she saw the emperor.

Of course the emperor recognized her, but his eyes only stayed on her for a moment before slipping away.

On the contrary, the palace servants who followed the emperor looked at her a few more times, showing surprise on their faces.

When the emperor wanted to have a private conversation with the national teacher and sent all the servants out of the house, a bold maid approached her and asked her if she was "the little fairy teacher who once tried to exorcise the snake demon".

When the maid was speaking, several people behind stretched their necks and looked this way, looking very expectant.

Bai Xiaoxiao suddenly realized that her previous strategy was wrong.

She only wanted to keep a low profile and not let her opponents in the dark know that Jianzong had already set up a battle, but she forgot that this was not a well-planned murder case in the first place.

What the other party wanted was not Jiao Yuxuan, or even the "person" of the emperor, but the identity of "Emperor Zhou".

With Tianzong behind him, it is impossible for the royal family or powerful officials with foreign surnames to usurp the throne.

Therefore, the purpose of killing the emperor, and the emperor who had offended Tianzong before, can only be to cause chaos in the state of Zhou.

Just like the one who instigated King Wennan and the Pang family to make a big fuss in Tianwenshan, they would not represent the interests of Zhou.

Zhou Guo's interests are bound to Tianwen Mountain and cannot be separated.

Therefore, those who attacked these two times must not be from within the Zhou Kingdom.

This is not an ordinary regicide case, but a struggle between the state and Tianzong.

So once you hit it, you will take advantage of it. If you don't succeed for a while, you may be patient and wait for the next opportunity.

The wait must be long, much longer than that of Bai Xiaoxiao and the others.

So you can't wait for the truth, and the opponent's next attack may not necessarily be aimed at the emperor.

What Bai Xiaoxiao has to do is to attract their attention and force them to expose.

What could attract the other person's attention more than herself?
She is well known to the world through the mirror sky spell.

She was also one of the core figures involved in the farce before Tianwen Mountain.

If she officially appeared in front of people, those hands behind the scenes would probably move.
