I have just been promoted to Qianhu, and I was shocked to hear that this is a Liaozhai!

Chapter 154 This Kyoto is no longer stable
After hearing what the host said, Zuo Dao couldn't help but be stunned, and then his face was full of disbelief.

He even began to doubt himself. He followed Princess Taiping and left Kyoto for half a month, as if he had been away for several years.

Why did this secret news spread throughout Kyoto and was compiled into a book by a storyteller?

Behind her, Princess Taiping had an ugly look on her face.

When she was in Kyoto before, she spent most of her time in the palace and knew little about the outside world.

Most of the news I heard from the guards or maids around me.

She never dreamed that so many things had happened in Kyoto before, and there were so many rumors.

Princess Taiping gritted her teeth and said: "Impossible. The founder of the Wei Dynasty is so heroic. How could he poison my warriors of the Wei Dynasty for his own selfish desires?"

"As for the fact that the Imperial Master is a monster, it is even more groundless nonsense."

Seeing Princess Taiping's sudden anger, the host couldn't help scratching his head, and then said, "I've also heard about this news, but it's just spread like this outside. As the saying goes, it must be groundless."

When Princess Taiping heard this, she was furious for a moment. Just as she was about to open her mouth to argue a few words, she was stopped by Zuo Dao.

After Zuo Dao sent her master away, Princess Taiping said angrily: "Master Zuo, why don't you let me talk to him properly?"

"This person is talking nonsense like this. Someone must be secretly adding fuel to the flames and slandering the founder of the Wei Dynasty, the King and the Imperial Master."

"I want Master Zuo to investigate secretly and find out the source of this rumor."

Hearing this, Zuo Dao had a look of helplessness on his face.

Then he said: "When we were in Kyoto, did the Commander-in-Chief ever talk to His Highness about our National Preceptor?"

Princess Taiping frowned slightly, and then said: "The Thirteenth Emperor's uncle told me a little bit about it."

Hearing this, Zuo Dao showed a curious look on his face and asked, "What did the commander say?"

Princess Taiping said with confusion: "The Thirteenth Emperor told me to stay away from the Master, saying that he was not a good person."

Zuo Dao was stunned for a moment. He could tell that these should be the exact words of the commander, and they were right.

He hesitated for a moment, and then said: "As for the founding king of the Wei Dynasty, I dare not say much due to my humble position, but our national master is indeed not a good person."

When Princess Taiping heard this, she couldn't help but whisper, and then murmured to herself: "Is that guy Pudu Cihang really a monster?"

Zuo Dao pondered for a moment, and then said: "Well, why not?"

Princess Taiping's eyes were full of shock. This was the first time she heard such explosive information.

When my father went on inspection, he encountered a big demon, was rescued, and then invited a national master from outside.

But he never thought that the national master was actually a big monster.

Princess Taiping gritted her teeth and said, "Father must have been deceived by Pudu Cihang."

Zuo Dao sighed, and then said: "We don't know the reason, we can't say it, and we don't dare to say it."

At this moment, Supervisor Wang came from the side and glanced at Zuo Dao deeply.

Then he said to Princess Taiping: "Your Highness, the night is already deep, it's time to rest."

Princess Taiping wanted to continue asking Zuo Dao about Pudu Cihang.

But for some reason, he didn't speak in the end and just followed Supervisor Wang towards the room.

Seeing this, Zuo Dao sighed helplessly, and then returned to his room.

But as soon as he came to the room, he sensed someone standing outside the door.

He opened the door and walked out, only to see that standing outside the door was Superintendent Wang who had just left.

Just listen to Wang Dajian say: "Mr. Zuo, are you talking too much today? Your Highness is still a child who has not grown up. You should not tell him this."

Hearing this, Zuo Dao shook his head slightly and said, "Whose child has experienced life and death. You should be able to see that Your Highness is not a little girl who can only hide under the wings of her elders."

"It's better for her to know some things in advance than to find out when the incident comes."

Hearing this, Supervisor Wang opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but he didn't know how to refute.

After a while, he said: "After returning to Kyoto, I will inform His Majesty to have a good rest in his mansion and not go out again."

"At that time, Mr. Zuo can also handle official business at Zhenfusi Yamen."

After saying that, Supervisor Wang turned around and left.

Zuo Dao was stunned for a moment, then shook his head slightly.

It seemed that Superintendent Wang was more important than he thought. He could decide such matters for Princess Taiping. She must be a popular person on the emperor's side.

However, he felt a little indifferent about this matter.

After all, who knows what Kyoto looks like today.

Such secretive things can be spread around Kyoto, and there must be unexpected changes in Kyoto.

Zuo Dao closed the door and was about to take a rest when he saw someone else in his room.

It's Lao Turtle!

Lao Gui sat at the table, glanced at Zuo Dao with a strange expression, and then said: "I heard you just said that the current imperial master of Wei is a big monster?"

Zuo Dao smiled bitterly and nodded: "My foster father came to my room in the middle of the night just to ask about this matter?"

Old Turtle waved his hands with a look of disgust on his face and said, "Speak nicely."

Zuo Dao sighed, and then said: "Senior, didn't you already hear it clearly just now, why are you still pretending not to know?"

It seems that the old turtle heard all the conversation he had just had with Princess Taiping.

Now this guy ran into his room again and asked questions knowingly, but he didn't know what his intention was.

Old Turtle's eyes lit up, and then he said, "Have humans and demons become so harmonious now?"

Although it was more than [-] years ago, in the era of him and Long Lord, it was not impossible for humans and monsters to coexist.

But it has never happened before for a monster to sit in the position of national master of a human dynasty.

If the world really becomes like this, then couldn't he also become the national master of a country, and then let his people look for the dragon ball fragments?
I have held on to the Dragon Palace for more than [-] years, and it's time to enjoy myself.

Zuo Dao looked at the unusual look in Old Turtle's eyes and immediately said, "That's not the case."

"As far as I know, the only one who has a great demon serving as a national advisor is Da Wei."

"And there is a connection between letting a monster be a national advisor."

Having said this, he told Lao Gui about his previous speculations and the news he heard in Shiwandashan.

When Lao Gui heard this, he frowned for a moment, and then said: "I didn't expect that today's martial arts has declined to such an extent. The so-called martial arts immortals only have such a small lifespan."

"You still have to rely on the Great Demonic Pill to extend your life."

"If I'm not wrong, that big demon must have other agendas when he joins the dynasty."

"The biggest hidden danger should be the luck of the dynasty and the dragon veins and dragon energy gathered in it, which can be used to break through the demon body or advance to the bloodline."

Hearing this, Zuo Dao had a look of astonishment on his face.Then he said: "A big centipede, no matter how advanced the bloodline is, how far can it go?"

The old turtle sneered, and then said, "What's wrong with Centipede? Maybe he learns some Buddhism and gets some opportunities in the future, and he can become a Buddhist guardian dragon."

Hearing this, Zuo Dao was shocked for no reason.

He remembered that in the movie he watched in his previous life, the big centipede's proud secret seemed to be Buddhist magical power.

Is this guy really going to use the luck of the dynasty as a springboard to become a Buddhist Dharma Protector Heavenly Dragon?

Where did he get the opportunity?
Lao Gui simply chatted with me in the room for a few words, and then returned to his room to rest.

Early the next morning.

After having breakfast at the host's house, the group rode directly towards Kyoto.

Along the way, Zuodao also deliberately inquired whether the host's remarks had spread throughout Kyoto.

After this inquiry, he was really surprised.

Unexpectedly, not only the rumors in that village were like this, but the rumors in many other villages and towns were also very similar.

Along the way, Princess Taiping obviously heard a lot and seemed a little taciturn.

Rumor has it that the person Princess Taiping admires most, besides her father and the Thirteenth Emperor's uncle, is the founding king in the palace.

She is determined to be the number one swordsman in the Wei Dynasty. The biggest reason is that her ancestor's longevity is about to end.

She wants to replace her ancestors and become the new pillar of the Wei Dynasty.

But Princess Taiping never dreamed that the pillar of her family would poison the warriors of the Wei Dynasty in order to extend her life.

Those are the future pillars of their Cao family, the talents of the Wei Dynasty.

Now it has become a treasure in the mouth of my ancestors.

This discovery made Princess Taiping seem to have a different temperament.

Fortunately, there were no other twists and turns on the way back to Beijing.

Everyone drove slowly on the road for more than half a month, and finally saw the Kyoto City Gate from a distance at noon one day.

Supervisor Wang said with a smile: "Your Highness, we have finally returned to Kyoto."

Princess Taiping responded somewhat dullly.

Upon seeing this, Supervisor Wang couldn't help but turn his head and glare at Zuo Dao.

Zuo Dao's face was full of helplessness.

He originally thought that Princess Taiping had experienced life and death, and at least her mentality had become much more stable.

Unexpectedly, after hearing those two pieces of news, I still couldn't bear it.

When they arrived at the city gate, they saw a somewhat tired Cao Xiang standing at the city gate, looking at everyone from a distance.

Zuo Dao quickly led his people to greet him, jumped off his horse, raised his hands in salute and said: "I have seen you in this humble position, and you will command me."

Cao Xiang nodded slightly and then walked in the direction of Princess Taiping.

Princess Taiping dismounted and said somewhat dullly: "Uncle Thirteenth Emperor, why are you here?"

Cao Xiang looked at Princess Taiping carefully, and then said with some distress in his eyes: "Taiping has lost weight. It seems that she has been suffering a lot outside during this time."

Having said this, he looked at Superintendent Wang's people with cold eyes and said, "Before leaving, didn't I ask you to take good care of Her Highness the Princess?"

When Supervisor Wang and others heard this, they were so frightened that they knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.

Judging from their appearance, they seemed to be very afraid of the commander-in-chief, Cao Xiang.

Princess Taiping hugged Cao Xiang's arm and shook it, and said dissatisfiedly: "Uncle Thirteenth Emperor, I went out this time to experience myself. I am not here to enjoy happiness. Isn't it normal to lose some weight?"

"Don't blame Superintendent Wang and the others."

Hearing Princess Taiping speak, Cao Xiang nodded slightly.

Then he said with a look of pity: "Since you have left Kyoto, why don't you play outside for a while longer?"

In his words, it seemed that he did not want Princess Taiping to return to Beijing at this time.

Princess Taiping sighed, and then said: "Father does not allow us to leave Kyoto too far. Those people chosen by Master Zuo are too weak."

"Taiping felt very boring, so I came back."

When Cao Xiang heard this, he sighed in his heart, and then led everyone into the city.

He asked Zuo Dao to send Princess Taiping to the palace before coming to see him again.

Zuo Dao led Princess Taiping towards the palace.

I saw some weird atmosphere everywhere along the way.

When he came back, he deliberately passed by the street where the Imperial Master's residence was.

But outside the Imperial Preceptor's residence, the two big demons under Pudu Cihang were guarding the door now.

After seeing Zuo Dao, a murderous intent flashed in the eyes of the two big demons. Although this murderous intent flashed away, they were still captured by them.

Zuo Dao felt a little depressed. It seemed that some changes had indeed occurred in Kyoto during his time away from the capital.

He arrived at the residence of the capital commander and was taken over by a guard in royal robes. He followed familiar paths to the outside of Cao Xiang's study.

Zuo Dao stood outside the door and said, "I hold a humble position, Zuo Dao, and I came here specifically to pay a visit to the Commander-in-Chief."

Cao Xiang's voice instantly came from inside the door: "Come in."

Hearing this, Zuo Dao immediately opened the door and walked in.

I saw Cao Xiang sitting behind the case solemnly, looking at Zuo Dao who walked into the study, and said, "Why don't you take Her Royal Highness to stay outside for a while longer."

Zuo Dao immediately raised his hands and said, "I have sent a letter to the capital commander about the matter in Tianhe City."

"Superintendent Wang felt that Tianhe City was unsafe, so he asked us to take His Highness back to Kyoto."

"Sir, what happened in Kyoto?"

When Cao Xiang heard this, he couldn't help but sigh.

He already knew about Tianhe City, and it was clearly written in Zuo Dao's letter.

The Lord of Tianhe City colluded with Daxuan and even attempted to rebel.

But he knew in his heart that with Tianhe City's current strength, even if the imperial court forced them to rebel, they would not dare to rebel.

Compared with Kyoto, Tianhe City will be safer.

After a while, Cao Xiang looked at Zuo Dao in front of him and said, "This Kyoto is no longer stable."
