Dao fruit.

"His Royal Highness, please set a clear example. It is not the last general who intends to stop you. It is the order of the superior who has to be carried out." The head of the guards is young, with a handsome face, and his words and deeds also have the characteristics of the children of the family and the descendants of noble families. smell.

But in the face of the menacing royal family, the leader still couldn't help sweating on his forehead, and eagerly explained that his background and strength would not play any role at this moment.

When King Ding heard this, he sneered, and asked back, "The order? Whose order is it? What is our relationship with His Majesty? Hearing that His Majesty was ill, he came to visit the first time. This is a blood relationship. Who can stop it? The palace decides It's the Queen Mother, don't tell me, it was the Queen Mother who gave the order to stop us royal relatives from visiting His Majesty!"

Hearing this, the head of the guards was sweating even more, but he could only bite the bullet and said: "It is the queen mother, please ask your highness to retreat temporarily, as long as there is a change in the order, the last general will send someone to invite you as soon as possible." .”

"Queen Mother?" King Ding raised his eyebrows slightly. He had guessed this answer a long time ago. He had already understood most of it when he came here twice before. , "Is it really the queen mother? This is strange, but since it is the queen mother's order, I don't want to rush in, but you still go in and report, and say that I, Li Duo, are worried about the emperor's dragon body and ask to see Shengyan." However, he knew very well , King Ding's request will not be successful, several Zaizhi have made similar requests, but they have not been fulfilled, let alone him as a prince.

On the surface, the prince and the emperor are blood relatives.The relationship is closer, but the affairs of the Tian family are different from ordinary families. There is often a gap between blood relatives, which is not as clear as the relationship with the minister.

However, these thoughts can only exist in the mind.The guard leader won't say it out, and if he refuses, he doesn't know how the prince and county king on the opposite side will hate him. In comparison, running errands and asking more questions are nothing.

In fact, even if he is the commander of the palace guards.They couldn't even see the emperor, so they had to be notified outside the palace.The people in the palace were also strictly controlled, and it was said that Eunuch Wei personally supervised it.Don't talk about stealing news, even if you say a word or make a look, you will be discovered. There are already two little yellow men and a palace lady, so they were killed by the stick.

Sure enough, the news that finally came was that Prince Ding's request was still not granted, and the prince could only shake his head.He left with the other imperial relatives with regret on his face. Judging from his appearance, it was obvious that he was quite concerned about the safety of the emperor.But they didn't know that when Prince Ding was returning to the palace, he went straight into a single courtyard in the backyard, laughing loudly!

This smile lasted for a few breaths.After the pause, there was still a little rosiness and lingering joy on his face.

"Even the empress dowager wants to block the news. In this way, the emperor's situation must be very dangerous. He may have already encountered misfortune! In this way, the only obstacle left is that young boy. What else is there to worry about?"

Thinking in this way, King Ding paced back and forth in the courtyard repeatedly, going back and forth a dozen times, and finally forcibly suppressed his excitement.

After a few more breaths, he adjusted his breathing, returned to the expressionless prince, and then left the courtyard.

It's strange to say that King Ding laughed so loudly in the courtyard before, but the guards and servants outside the courtyard didn't hear him at all. Seeing him coming out, they all went to salute.

Nodding his head, King Ding said, "Invite Mr. Luo, Mr. Wu, Mr. De and several Taoist priests over here."

"Yes." After listening to the order, several servants nodded immediately, and after waiting for tea time, some people came and filed into the private courtyard.

Some of these people wore Confucian uniforms, some wore cloaks, but most of them wore Taoist robes.

Back and forth, a total of seven people entered the courtyard, and the fifth person who arrived was none other than Daoist Feihu of Feng Lingdao.

After they walked in, they entered the room one by one. The room was spacious and bright, with many tables and chairs set up, and the tea set on the table beside the chairs was steaming.

The seven people greeted each other, and then sat down. The king Ding smiled, greeted twice, and then told what he had seen and heard in the palace.

Afterwards, he analyzed: "The Empress Dowager didn't even allow the royal family to enter, which shows how bad the situation is. The king also got a message saying that it was to block the news. Even the servants in the palace were killed with a stick. It can be seen that this time The emperor's fainting is no small matter, it is probably a good opportunity from heaven, what do you guys think?" After saying this, he looked around the crowd with a look of anticipation.

None of the seven people present made a sound immediately. After a while, the person closest to King Ding said: "Your Highness is so sure that the emperor fainted is no small matter. Is there some news that I don't know? On the day the emperor fainted, the sky in the capital There was once a dark thunder flashed, it seems like a magical method, if the prince knows the inside story, I hope he can tell." This person is about forty years old, with a Chinese character face, long beard, wearing a big cloak, looking dignified.

Hearing this, King Ding's thoughts jumped, and he said calmly on the surface: "I don't know much about this matter."

At this time, it was Daoist Feihu who asked, "My lord, you went to the palace to ask for the emperor's face, but you failed to do so, but the poor Taoist heard rumors that Qiu Yan was called into the palace a few days ago. Is it true to stand before the emperor?"

"This king is also very concerned about what Mr. Wu said, so he specially asked people to investigate and it was confirmed to be true." Speaking of the name "Qiu Yan", King Ding showed a little solemn face, "Qiu Yan was called into the palace, It happened shortly after the emperor passed out, and even Zai Zhi was blocked outside the palace, only he can enter, what is the reason inside, this king is still investigating."

After hearing the answer, Taoist Feihu nodded and stopped asking.

"This matter needs to be investigated clearly, but there is another more important matter. Even if the prince is in charge of the artifact in the future, if this matter is not handled safely, it will be the root of disaster." Another person spoke, this person was thin and wearing a square scarf , wearing a Confucian uniform, has a pair of narrow eyes, a mustache, and a sharp voice.

King Ding was not surprised, and asked directly: "Mr. Luo is referring to the national war?"

"It's the national war!" The thin man called Mr. Luo touched the beard on his lips, "No news is forbidden in the palace, even the chief executive can't know it. , But as time goes by, people will be fluctuating, and the frontline army will become a serious problem at that time. Since ancient times, the country has prospered and the army has been weak, and the results have not been very good. This point should be interrupted by the prince."

"Of course, this king is also paying attention to this matter!" Ding Wang said, but frowned, "However, it's too early to think about this now, before that, we must first find out who the emperor's nephew is, What is the situation."

……

This meeting lasted for about a meal, during which King Ding was mainly talking, while the other seven people were listening, occasionally interjecting a sentence or two, but most of them still asked questions, but they gave King Ding a lot of hints.

After the meeting, the excitement in King Ding's heart had dissipated, replaced by the eagerness to ascertain the emperor's situation.

On the other hand, the seven people, including Daoist Feihu, did not leave from the main entrance and the back entrance of the palace, as if they disappeared out of thin air.

After a few breaths, Taoist Master Feihu returned to the other courtyard where he had been living, and sat alone in the courtyard.

"The situation is chaotic now, and the prince you selected this time may really succeed."

Suddenly, a voice came from behind. In the empty yard, a figure slowly appeared. Accompanied by the sound of "squeaking" running water, a stream of water outlined a silhouette in the air and manifested a human shape. The man in Taoist robe has a handsome face and looks like he is only in his teens.

Daoist Feihu said without turning his head: "You still don't like to knock on the door. You come silently and invisible. If you are restricted by the poor Taoist, don't complain."

The young Taoist smiled and said: "You know the rules of the way of water disasters. There is no way for good or bad, but people call on themselves. How can there be a reason for disaster to knock on the door in advance? Besides, I came here with the flying dragon across the continent this time. You I already knew it, why do I need to say more?" There was already a water stain under his feet, but his figure was condensed.

Feihu shook his head, and changed the topic: "You came here this time because of the emperor?"

"Yes, a few days ago, as long as you have a little cultivation, you can sense the strong causal fluctuations. How could I miss such a thing happening in a place like the Imperial City?" the young Taoist said, his nose twitched, "Sure enough, it's interesting. In the residual breath, there are obvious warnings, threats and suppression. I think that on that day, all extraordinary people in this city who have made changes should be affected. No wonder there is no one to protect the emperor."

Speaking of this, he smiled and said: "By the way, what did the prince you assisted say? He won't deny such an obvious thing, right? Although an unimaginable existence in the starry sky intervened directly, but if Without the introduction of the bloodline, it is impossible to control the power of Jing Jing, pointing directly at the real dragon of the palace."

Daoist Feihu sighed, and then said: "It's not all because of threats. Throughout the ages, there have been countless incidents of brothers killing each other, father and son killing each other, and blood reversing in the Tian family of this dynasty. As long as the foundation of the dynasty remains unchanged and relies on dragon The extraordinary people who are angry will not intervene too much, otherwise there will be coups in the history books? Not to mention coups, even the change of dynasty will not happen."

At this time, the young Taoist priest walked up to him and sat down, saying in his mouth: "Whether it's a change of dynasty or a bloodline coup, the reason why the extraordinary people relying on the dragon spirit let go is not because of cause and effect? ​​If it wasn't for Emperor Dari to make some reforms , causing the country’s cauldron to change, giving birth to a scene of great strife, forging a great cause and effect, how can an extraordinary person refuse to save him?”
