This martial artist just wants to be an official

Chapter 509 Plans from all parties
Song Yu had a peaceful smile on his face, and he looked straight at Xuan Shu in front of him.

Under the moonlight, Xuan Shu was peaceful and quiet in the courtyard, and his bald head was shining with a quiet light.

"It seems that Bodhisattva Xuanshu is willing to cooperate with me?"

"you?"

After Xuan Shu heard his words, his fingers paused slightly, and then he looked at Song Yu:

"Donor, what you said..."

"Very disappointed?"

Song Yu looked at Xuan Shu with a hint of ridicule in his smile:
"Hearing that they were not cooperating with Kewusi but with me, Bodhisattva Xuanshu felt somewhat dissatisfied?"

When Song Yu said this, the smile on his face did not change at all, and he looked at Xuan Shu's face quietly.

Bodhisattva Xuanshu was stunned for a moment and looked at Song Yu again.

Song Yu didn't say anything either, just stared at Xuan Shu.

After a moment, Xuan Shu's face suddenly darkened, and then he suddenly stretched out his palm. His broad and soft palm raised a gust of wind and swept towards Song Yu.

An ordinary person would not be able to react in time to this sudden palm strike and would be hit right in the chest.

After all, they were so close to each other and were discussing cooperation, so they never expected that the other party would suddenly take action.

But Song Yu seemed to have expected this. He narrowed his eyes slightly, but kept smiling. The next moment, he turned into a ceramic doll and stood there.

"Boom..."

The ceramic doll was shattered by Xuan Shu's palm, and turned into powder on the spot and dissipated between heaven and earth.

Another figure walked out from the depths of the yard.

"Haha, Bodhisattva Xuanshu is a little too impatient."

Song Yu smiled slightly, with a bit of nonchalance on his face.

"I never thought that Donor Song has already learned this skill. I was worrying too much."

When Xuan Shu saw Song Yu walking out from the depths of the yard, his pupils shrank slightly, then a generous smile appeared on his face and he chanted a Buddhist name.

"hypocritical."

Song Yu smiled contemptuously, then sat down opposite Xuan Shu leisurely, raised his eyebrows and said:

"If I hadn't been able to dodge your palm just now, I'm afraid you wouldn't have sat down to talk with me now, but would have taken me to the Kewu Division and handed me over to my master, right?"

"Your eyesight is as sharp as a torch, and I admire you."

Xuan Shu neither denied nor nodded, but just praised Song Yu with appreciation.

"Humph."

Song Yu snorted lightly, sat opposite Xuan Shu, and waited quietly for Xuan Shu to speak.

Xuan Shu was also looking at Song Yu quietly.

Neither of them spoke first.

After a long time, Xuan Shu sighed and slowly said:

"Donor, is there anything I can do for you?"

Song Yu nodded calmly: "If it weren't for this, I wouldn't have taken such a big risk to come to you."

"Haha." Xuan Shu smiled, pointed lightly with his hand, and steamed the tea set on the table. Then he gave Song Yu a cup of hot tea and said:

"If there is anything I can do for you, please feel free to tell me."

Song Yu did not answer, but just looked at the teacup in front of Xuan Shu. After taking a sip, he was about to speak when he saw the smile on Xuan Shu's face:
"Donor, aren't you afraid that this tea may be poisoned by this poor monk?"

After hearing this, Song Yu raised the corner of his mouth, looked into the distance, and took another sip:
"Then how do you know that this body is not a porcelain doll?"

"Forehead……"

Xuan Shu was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter:

"The donor is truly wise and courageous!"

"Haha, when playing chess with you, I dare not let down my guard."

Song Yu rolled his eyes lightly, without dwelling on this issue too much. He looked back at Xuan Shu and said calmly:

"I have heard that there is a supreme Buddhist instrument in Buddhism, which contains an infinite space and is called the Heart Sutra. Do you know where it is?"

When Xuan Shu heard this, he was slightly startled, and then he wanted to blurt out something, but he stopped abruptly. After a pause, he chuckled and said:
"Of course I know."

Song Yu narrowed his eyes and nodded, "After this is done, I will ask for this Prajna Heart Sutra."

"This treasure is the supreme Buddhist instrument of my Buddha. If the donor wants this, I cannot give it to you."

Xuan Shu said after thinking for a moment.

"No, just tell me where it is and I'll get it myself."

Song Yu looked at Xuan Shu indifferently, with an extremely confident look on his face.

"Hehe." A half-smile flashed across Xuan Shu's lips, and he said lightly:

"Since the donor says so, I am willing to do so."

"Well, it's not in vain to cooperate with you."

Song Yu slowly stood up, his eyes looking into the distance, his voice lingering in Xuan Shu's ears:

"The Dao Sect has already started to take action. If you don't want to lose, be on guard against them."

After saying this, his body turned into a wisp of black wind and slowly dissipated in the yard.

Xuan Shu wanted to ask something else, but when he saw Song Yu disappear, he paused for a moment, then shook his head and smiled:

"Amitabha, I'll give you a chance of luck this time."

As he said this, he glanced at the teapot on the table with some regret.

Then, he looked in the direction where Song Yu disappeared, his eyes flashing with contemplation:
"The lady from the Lin family? How will the Taoists deal with it?"

……

royal palace.

"My beloved concubine."

The second prince was lying on the bed, looking at the beautiful figure dancing in front of the table. He didn't look very excited, but just called out softly:

"Bring me some water, I'm thirsty."

"Yes."

The dancing elegant woman paused for a moment, then slowly came to the table, poured a glass of water, and came to the second prince's bed with a charming smile:
"Your Majesty, please have some tea."

"Ah."

The second prince had a somewhat absent-minded look on his face. He gently held the elegant woman's hand, then took the cup from her somewhat cold hand and drank it all in one gulp.

"Your Majesty~"

Seeing the Second Prince so absent-minded, the gorgeous woman scolded him and said unwillingly:
"Why don't you let me feed you today?"

After saying this, her cherry lips were already pouting high.

The Second Emperor was attracted back by her voice. Seeing the jealous look on the gorgeous woman's face, a bitter smile appeared on his face. He then put the teacup aside, pulled her jade-white hand into his arms, and sighed:
"Our plan may have been known to the Duke of Beiguo."

As soon as these words came out, Concubine Lin's hands trembled slightly, and then a fierce look flashed in her charming eyes:
"Your Majesty, I don't think the Duke of Beiguo is someone who likes government affairs so much..."

The second prince sighed:

"Of course I know this, but after all, my brother-in-law has a closer relationship with his uncle than with me. How can I not be on guard?"

Concubine Lin slowly sat down in front of the Second Prince's bed, curled up her weak body in the Second Prince's arms, rubbed the Second Prince's face lazily, and said:

"Your Majesty, don't panic. Even if the Duke of Beiguo knows our plan, he will definitely not interfere directly. At most, he will tell Hai Rui..."

At this point, a smile of confidence flashed across her eyes:
"It's time to use the hidden chess pieces that my father has planted at the border."

After she finished speaking, she raised her head, looked at the Second Prince lovingly and said, "When the situation with the demon tribe at the border becomes critical, the Duke of Beiguo will have no choice but to join the fight. With only Hai Rui left... it will be much easier for Your Majesty to deal with him... After getting rid of Hai Rui, even if the Duke of Beiguo returns from the border, the formation will definitely be set up in the capital..."

Having said this, Concubine Lin smiled without saying anything, just looking at the Second Prince lovingly.

"is it?"

After the Second Prince heard Concubine Lin's words, his worried expression gradually eased. After he heard everything Concubine Lin said, an extremely excited smile appeared on his face:

"In that case, my beloved concubine and I should take advantage of the night..."

Seeing the smile on the Second Prince's face, Concubine Lin blushed slightly, then buried her head in the Second Prince's chest and gently patted his chest:
"Your Majesty~"

"Hahahahaha!!"

…………

Pei Yinlang.

Lu Yuanzhi looked at Li Jin in front of him calmly and asked:
"How's the investigation going?"

Li Jin looked at Lu Yuanzhi very seriously and said:

"We found out that the traffickers in the harem...sent all the abducted children to the capital."

"How did you check?"

Lu Yuanzhi half-lay on the chair leisurely, his eyes cold and he looked at Li Jin intently.

Li Jin bowed slightly and said respectfully:
"I sent people to follow the route of the young eunuch that the old eunuch contacted and checked all the locations of the pawnbrokers. After finding them, I sent people to infiltrate these pawnbroker organizations..."

Having said that, Li Jin took a deep breath and said:
"These kidnappers were not well organized, and they soon found useful information. They sent all the kidnapped children to the capital."

At this point, Li Jin's voice became somewhat awkward and his volume became much lower.

Lu Yuanzhi raised his eyebrows and looked at Li Jin and asked:

"Why? After arriving in the capital, you can't find out where these children were sent, right?"

"Ah."

Li Jin nodded with an unpleasant expression, not daring to look up at Lu Yuanzhi's eyes, and said ashamedly:
"I have done my best to investigate, but I can't find any trace of the person who took in the child..."

Having said that, he took a deep breath and said:
"However, I was afraid of alerting the enemy, so I did not dare to act rashly at the place where they were trading children, and I came here to report."

"You did the right thing."

Lu Yuanzhi looked at Li Jin calmly, with a hint of admiration in his tone:
"If you really alert the enemy, it will be difficult to deal with."

"It is my fault that I did not do my job well. Please punish me, Lord Lu."

Li Jin still looked ashamed.

"The person who wants to come to the capital to take in the child should have a high level of cultivation."

Lu Yuanzhi pondered for a long time, then slowly raised his head and fixed his eyes on Li Jin:
"Take my token and go find Gengzhi, Yingxian, and Chijiao..."

At this point, Lu Yuanzhi took out a token from the scripture space and threw it to Li Jin:

"Three high-level warriors, and you, a young man who is only one step away from being a high-level warrior, should ambush that man together..."

After receiving the token, Li Jin's face turned red. He looked at Lu Yuanzhi very seriously and said:

"If you fail to complete the mission, I will definitely bring my head to you!"

Pei Yinlang's high-level warrior...

Even Chi Jiao was sent to me?
Chi Jiao is the godson of Pei Yinlang's predecessor, Ji Xuan, and has been in charge of Pei Yinlang's law enforcement hall. He is usually not well-known. Even after Lu Gong succeeded him as commander, he never flattered him and was only concerned with enforcing the law impartially.

No one from Pei Yinlang dared to provoke him.

Moreover, Lord Lu hardly ever used Chi Jiao, after all, he was Lord Ji's godson.

But today, for this matter, Mr. Lu even sent Chi Yunpei to him...

If he really fails to complete the task, he can commit suicide out of shame.

"You don't have to say such big things."

Lu Yuanzhi's voice remained calm and steady:
"I have a feeling that the enemy we are facing this time...will not be defeated so easily."

"Yes."

Li Jin looked at Lu Yuanzhi's solemn expression, and his flushed face slowly calmed down. He took a deep breath and said:
"I will obey Lord Lu completely."

"Well, let's go down."

"Yes……"

……

After Li Jin left, Lu Yuanzhi fell into deep thought again.

He has already buried the seeds, but whether they can take root and sprout will depend on the passage of time.

……

However, before that, we should first find a place for the Holy Son and Hong Yun.

……

The next day.

Lu Yuanzhi looked at Hongyun and Shengzi in front of him with a smile on his face and said:
"Are you two satisfied with this place?"

In front of the three people was an extremely magnificent Taoist temple.

"This……"

Looking at the Taoist temple in front of him, Hong Yun's face flashed with shock, and he said in a trembling voice:

"Is this the place where Empress Dowager Xuyun lived when she entered the Dao sect?"

"Haha, smart."

Lu Yuanzhi smiled lightly, looking at the Taoist temple which was magnificent but had become overgrown with weeds as time went by, and said:
“Although it’s not small, it’s been uninhabited for a long time and needs some repairs.”

"No need to bother Duke Beiguo, my sect still has this little money."

Hong Yun was obviously very satisfied with this Taoist temple. He looked at Lu Yuanzhi deeply and said:

"Such a generous gift, I don't know how to thank you..."

"Why thank me? We are so close, so I don't even need to say thank you."

Lu Yuanzhi laughed. Although the Taoist temple looked quite large, it had been abandoned for a long time in the capital. It didn't take much effort for him to get it from the Ministry of Revenue.

"Wulian Tianzun, Duke of Beiguo..."

The Holy Son stood aside for a long time without speaking. He took out something from his chest, looked at Lu Yuanzhi seriously and said:

"This is what the headmaster gave me after I entered the fifth rank. If you don't mind, please accept it."

As he said that, he stuffed a porcelain bottle into Lu Yuanzhi's hand without any explanation.

Lu Yuanzhi looked at the porcelain bottle and raised his head to look at the Holy Son in confusion.

Hong Yun wanted to speak, but paused, and sighed slowly:

"This is the Breath-Extinguishing Pill of our Taoist sect. After taking it, even a person who has stopped breathing can survive for half an hour. If an ordinary person takes it, it can at least prolong his life. No matter how serious the injury is, he can recover in an instant."

Having said this, he looked at the Holy Son with a complicated look and said:

"There are only three of these pills in my sect. Since the Holy Son is willing to give them to the Duke, then the Duke should accept them."

Lu Yuanzhi stared at the porcelain bottle in his hand for a moment, then smiled bitterly:
"How can you accept such a valuable item?"

The Holy Son looked at Lu Yuanzhi seriously and said:

"If you don't accept it, then we don't want this Taoist temple anymore."
