They met in Linggu Temple, and Xiao, Qiu and Yao joked with each other in front of Songjian Creek.

Zhizhong teased Xiao Langjin with many words, but Yao Zuyin, who was an old man with great wisdom, tried to persuade him instead.

The work is done, and we won’t talk about what happened last night anymore.

Xiao Jingchuan started a new topic, which focused on the mage Yao Zuyin in front of him.

"Oh, by the way, Master."

"I'm here today, so I'll put other things aside for now."

"I really have a request to make, and I specially invite you. I hope you won't refuse." Xiao Ling made a new suggestion.

After hearing this, the old monk Yao Zuyin suddenly raised his eyebrows, but he agreed with a smile without any haste.

"Oh?"

"Hehe, what's going on?"

"Donor Xiao, please tell me about it." Yao answered.

"Ah, that's right."

"As for the younger generation, I feel that every time the three of us get together, we have to go out and come to this Linggu Temple."

"If it's right or wrong, it's just an urgent matter."

"But if there is an emergency someday, it might be a waste of time."

"I'm afraid it might be a mistake."

"In my opinion, since the master is willing to help the two of us succeed."

"Why not find an opportunity to live in my house?"

"This way, everyone will have a good time."

"Well, I have already thought about this before, it's not just a last-minute effort."

"You see, although the population in my Duke's Mansion is more diverse, I have also investigated and dealt with some of the spies."

"In the past month or so, apart from a few unnecessary and difficult to remove, we have also used various methods to remove all the threads of other parties that should be removed."

"If you agree to stay here, you can ask Xiao'e to tell you that she is a Buddhist."

"Besides, the East Garden of the mansion is still completely empty."

"It's not a problem to set up a Qingtang Zhaizhai in the right place."

"From now on, as long as you have your trusted men guard the two connected corner gates, everything will be fine."

"No trivial matters will disturb the master's meditation."

"And if I think about it later, if I find anything important, it will be convenient for you to ask me and benefit a lot."

"Well, I just don't know if the master is willing to fulfill my wish?!"

Xiao Jingchuan spoke earnestly and sincerely, inviting the master to his house.

In fact, this approach has its benefits.

However, upon hearing the invitation, Master Hongren was stunned and did not seem so willing.

"Uh, hehehe."

Yao Zuyin was somewhat stunned and embarrassed, and looked at the center first.

When I looked at Xiao Lang with the reply, I told him the story.

"Mr. Xiao, I appreciate your kindness and generosity!"

"But the time is not yet ripe."

"If I go into the mansion now, I'm afraid I'll be in trouble if something happens in the future, and it will be difficult to turn around."

"It would be better for us to stay in Linggu Temple for now, and the three of us can live in a corner together."

"In this way, if an emergency occurs, I can be of greater help to you if I stay outside the situation rather than being in the middle of it!"

Yao Zuyin obviously had his own opinion about the respect he received when he entered the palace.

In comparison, after careful consideration, Zhizhong also has some affirmative opinions from the masters.

"Yes, Lao Xiao."

"You are now in the capital, and your foundation is not yet solid."

"Master, it's safer outside."

"Although your house has only two idle people left by the palace lady, I have cleaned up the rest for you."

"But just because there are no threads elsewhere doesn't mean everything is safe."

"For example, Xue Zhong and others you want to fill in will still take time to train."

"Guarding the gate is better."

"But the plan of secretly guarding against people may not be replenished in a short time. At present, it still feels a little lacking."

There is also some advice in the letter.

Hearing the intentions of both parties, Xiao Jingchuan hesitated and had to compromise, temporarily putting aside his feelings. He also went back to the point that Xue Zhong mentioned in the letter just now, and asked about something else out of curiosity.

"Yeah, haha, okay, okay."

"Since both of you said so, then... I think there is something wrong."

"Well, let's put this idea aside for now."

"Eh?"

"By the way, Feiyu, how did you deal with Xue Zhong's matter?"

"That's a good trick."

"How did you really change the appearance of a half-century-old man?"

"I've only heard before that you Jinyiwei have a special skill in disguise."

"I didn't expect it to be so amazing!" Xiao Qi said.

"Hi!"

"It's just a trifle, but it's not as evil as you say."

"Xue Zhong, I have specially invited an expert to handle your matter."

"First, the molars on both sides were knocked out."

"And there is a secret method for the follow-up. There is a potion that can be inserted into the skin with a needle to achieve the effect of melting the muscles."

"By inserting needles in different positions, the whole face becomes thinner and the person naturally looks different."

"This is the secret technique of the South Seas."

"I don't dare to operate it with others easily, and it is also quite costly."

"However, as long as this method is used and the subsequent maintenance is proper, this appearance can be maintained for seven or eight years. I think it won't be a problem."

Zhizhong told him everything and explained the strange and secret method clearly.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Duo was amazed, thinking that there really were such miraculous skills and secret techniques in the world.

Afterwards, the three of them had another round of tea and chatted for a while.

Seeing that there was nothing else to talk about, Yao Zuyin then turned the conversation to the main topic of the discussion.

"Hahaha, okay, okay."

"I've had some tea and fruit to help me digest it. I've been here for a while."

"It's time for the three of us to talk about something serious."

"My dear Xiao, I took the initiative to invite you here today because I do have something important to discuss with you."

"Well, have you noticed any of the little emperor's little actions in the palace recently?!"

Yao Zuyin put things right and clarified the truth.

"Uh" Xiao was puzzled. After thinking about it, he just shook his head.

"Haha, that's right."

"Mr. Qiu's spies in the palace reported that recently, the young Emperor Hongguang and the palace have been planning to start a war against the princes of the Zhu family!"

"If this idea is brought to the attention of the government, a series of major measures such as layoffs and salary cuts will be implemented."

"Just cut the cuts straight away."

"I'm afraid it's hard to have the guts."

"However, my friend Qiu and I discussed it yesterday, and it is still possible to consider other options other than reducing or suspending salary," Yao Zuyin recounted.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Lang's face became stern and solemn.

"Well, I didn't expect it to be so quick."

"The peace talks in the north have just been settled, but now we have to deal with the troops in the four towns in Huaibei. It's a bit hasty and panic."

"This, this whole bunch of things is following behind me, and I don't want to sort it out clearly."

"He, why is he going to do this again?"

"Well, Master, Feiyu, do you two think you are sure about this matter?!"

"If I were still in the court, I would inevitably be assigned such an offensive and difficult task!"

"you."

When Xiao Jingchuan received this news, he first made a predictive analysis, and then, considering the possible situations, he asked Yao Zuyin about it.

Seeing this, the old monk suddenly raised his hand to stop him and interrupted him.

"My dear Xiao, you must not get involved in this matter!"

"According to my estimation, this will never happen."

"The time has not yet come. Whoever tries will be caught in it!"
