Chapter 94
"What should we do now?" the shadow guard commander asked.
Su Xi didn't speak, just stood there quietly.She still remembers that in the past, her elder brother was hunted down by someone, if Zhao Wuyou hadn't helped her, maybe she and her elder brother would have returned to the underworld by now.
In this world, where there are people, there is killing.
Thinking of the dead family members and those tragic scenes, Su Xi's hand holding the sword trembled slightly.She killed people out of helplessness, but killing innocent people in vain was just for her own unscrupulous means.
But after thinking about it, what is the difference between helplessness and willingness to deprive others of their lives?
"Go back!" No matter what happened here, her goal was to find Yunzheng and the others, not to investigate a massacre that happened in unknown years and months.There are too many people dying in this world, so there is nothing to care about.
There is still no news about Yunzheng and Fusheng, and Xi Mo is dead or alive.
It wasn't until the explosion in Dongchang that Su Xi was completely relieved when she learned that Zhao Wuyou was not dead.As long as he is not dead, it is naturally the safest with the protection of Dongchang.
Su Xi is well aware of Mu Baili's high martial arts, so she no longer needs to worry about Zhao Wuyou.
Now, finding Yunzheng and the others is her most important task.
For several days, they searched carefully in the house, rummaging from room to room, for fear of making mistakes.Su Xi always felt that the biggest problem was still in this house.
It was quiet at night, and the whole house fell into a dead silence.
The night was dark and windy, it was too scary.
Suddenly, the commander of the shadow guards walked over quickly, "I found the entrance to a secret passage."
"Go!" Su Xi was startled.
The secret passage is in a very remote corner, and you have to climb a ladder to go down.It was dark down there, so I couldn't see what was there.The shadow guard walked in front with a torch, and Su Xi followed behind.
This secret path extends in all directions, and there are routes one after another, and I don't know where they lead.
Su Xi could only walk around, when she opened the exit of a secret passage, she stood there in a daze and didn't recover for a while.
This—isn't this the yard?
She suddenly understood that the secret passage extending in all directions underneath actually connected the entire house.So that day, Yunzheng will suddenly disappear.That's because he was dragged down the secret path, so there was no trace left behind.
There is water in this secret passage, probably because it rained that day.
Su Xi was startled, and suddenly ran wildly in the tunnel.Open an exit again, it really is Fusheng's room.In other words, they disappeared that day only because they were dragged into a secret passage.
"What an idiot!" I didn't expect that people were right under my nose.If it wasn't for Zhao Wuyou's thoughtfulness back then, she would definitely have stayed.But now, the tunnel is empty, and people don't know where they are taking them.
The commander of the shadow guard came over holding a torch, "There is an exit, and it is to leave the house."
"Where is it?" Su Xi was slightly taken aback.
The two walked quickly, and the end of this tunnel was in the wilderness, and there was a deserted ancient temple not far away.
Suxi made a quick gesture, and the shadow guard behind her immediately fell to the ground.At a glance, the gate of the ancient temple was closed tightly, but there was a little smoke curling up from inside.So she was sure there must be someone inside.
"Human, will it be there?" The shadow guard commander frowned.
Su Xi pursed her lips, "It's hard to say! Let's see first." After thinking about it, she asked, "How did you find the authentic way?"
"I thought it was a mouse hole, but when I dug it down, it turned out to be a secret path. What's wrong?" the shadow guard commander was puzzled.
"It's okay." Suxi took a deep breath, "You guys stare, I'll go and have a look. Follow my signal and act! If they are really here, they will get rid of all the evil. Of course, it's best to keep alive, if not— kill!"
"Understood!" The shadow guard leader nodded.
There are indeed people in this ancient temple.
All of them were masked in black, and they were roasting rabbits at this time.
This place is far away from that house, Suxi did not expect this secret passage to be so long.From here, they couldn't see the house at all, so they were very relieved to hide people here.
Su Xi leaned on the roof, looking at the people below.She didn't know if they were from Wuji Palace, they seemed to be women.If it's really a woman, then it's probably them.
So now, she has to confirm whether Fu Sheng and Yun Zheng are also here.
You can't startle the snake, you can only look at it first.
Turned over and fell, with light steps.Su Xi looked around, and flew into the ancient temple as quickly as lightning.There are also people holding hands in the temple, Suxi must be extra careful.Once they startled the snake, it might be bad for Yunzheng and the others.
Entering the backyard, there is a row of palaces.Although dilapidated, it can also shelter from wind and rain.
There were handles outside the door, Suxi was hanging upside down under the eaves, carefully hiding herself in the dark to investigate.
There are guards outside the temples on the left and right.
Could it be that Yunzheng and the others are here?
Thinking of this, Suxi turned over to the roof, carefully lifted the tiles and looked down.Sure enough, she saw Yunzheng and Xi Mo.The two were tied to the pillars, looking a little dying.
So what about floating life?
Taking a deep breath, Su Xi waited for the opportunity.
Outside the temple, the shadow guards were also waiting for their opportunity.
In the dead of night, when the guard fell asleep, this is the time for Suxi to move.Landed, drew sword, saw blood.All the movements were done in one go, the guard didn't even have time to hum, and he was killed on the spot.
Pushing open the door and entering, Yunzheng and Xi Mo suddenly widened their eyes in shock.
"Miss Su Xi?" Yun Zheng was delighted.
Su Xi let out a "shh", and cut the rope immediately, "Where is Fusheng?"
"He was taken away." Because of being bound for a long time, the moment Yunzheng just untied the rope, her feet went limp and she fell to the ground immediately.After a low hum, footsteps came from outside.
Found out? !
"Take care of her!" Su Xi glanced at Xi Mo.
Xi Mo has injuries, but men are stronger than women after all.Trying their best to support Yunzheng, the two staggered out of the room.
Outside, people from Wuji Palace faced each other coldly, and they had already surrounded the place.
"Kill them!" The leader yelled.
Su Xi snorted coldly, "It's not certain who lives and who dies!" Leng Jian unsheathed, and returned only when he saw blood.The signal was sent out, and the sound of fighting soon sounded outside the main hall. It was the sound of the shadow guard rushing in.
The entire ancient temple was in a mess, and the sound of fighting continued.
"Go to Fusheng!" Su Xi said coldly.
"Okay!" After recovering, Xi Mo and Yun Zheng began to search for Fu Sheng's whereabouts.
In the last hall, they found Fu Sheng who had been beaten to the brink of death.Fu Sheng closed his eyes tightly, looking serious.
"Help him away!" Xi Mo was injured, and Yunzheng didn't have enough strength to carry Fusheng away, so the two could only help him out, one on the left and the other on the right.
Fu Sheng came to his senses, "Is it you?"
"Are you okay?" Yunzheng asked.
There was a lot of chaos outside, they could only take advantage of the chaos and leave.
"I—" Fu Sheng's breathing was short, and suddenly, he pushed Yun Zheng away fiercely.
It was late and then fast, the cold light was sharp, it was the coldness of the blade falling.Blood splashed, accompanied by the sharp cry of Yunzheng.Fu Sheng fell to the ground, his arm was cut open, and his sleeve was stained red with blood.
"Fusheng?" Yunzheng shouted.
Xi Mo's martial arts is not high, even if he has a lot of fists and legs, he has to rush up at this time.
"Let's go!" Xi Mo yelled, picked up the wooden stick at the side and went up to meet him.
Yunzheng came back to her senses, hurriedly picked up the dying Fusheng, and quickly moved outside.Su Xi is outside, it is safe to go out.
Outside, Suxi has almost killed a thousand people, leaving only two alive!Turning back to the palace, seeing Yunzheng floating out with blood dripping at first, his brows froze.
"Xi Mo is still inside!" Yunzheng said hurriedly.
Su Xi jumped and quickly entered the hall.
Clean and neat, one sword kills.
There was a big cut on the back of Xi Mo's hand, but it's not a serious problem, it's just that after such a toss, the whole person is very empty.Fortunately, everyone is fine, and they are still alive. This is the only luck.
At least when he returns to the capital, he can give Zhao Wuyou an explanation.
Fu Sheng was seriously injured, but it was not life-threatening.
Suxi personally washed the wound for Fu Shengqing, applied medicine and bandaged it, "Don't worry, there is no injury to the bones, and it will heal soon. During this period, don't touch the water, don't eat spicy food, pay attention to changing the dressing frequently so that the wound does not open again. .”
"Thank you!" Fu Sheng nodded, "Thanks to Miss Su Xi, otherwise we would have died there."
"Thank you for that mouse!" Suxi stood up, and Yunzheng immediately brought up the water basin.
After washing her hands, Suxi felt relieved, "Get ready, we will leave for Beijing right away."
Yunzheng nodded, "I don't know how the young master is doing now, that day..."
"Okay, there's no need to say anything! Get ready and set off immediately!" Su Xi's face was calm, she was used to such a cool and cold appearance, and Yun Zheng was also used to it.After saying that, Su Xi left the room without looking back.
"Thank you!" Yunzheng took a look at Fusheng, turned and left.
After going out, Xi Mo was already waiting outside, "Is he alright?"
"I can't die." Yunzheng handed the washbasin to the people around her, "It's finally come to an end, I can go back to the capital to see the young master."
"It's a good thing that Mr. Fu has a great fate, but I heard that it was Dongchang who came to save people. I don't know if you agreed to something, otherwise how could Dongchang be so straightforward and help you?" Xi Mo couldn't help it worry.
"Let's talk when we go back!" Yunzheng narrowed her eyes.
It's a long way to go to the capital, everyone has big and small injuries, I'm afraid there will be delays on the way.
Su Xi naturally took the first step, and returned to Beijing immediately to return to her command, so that Zhao Wuyou could rest assured.For the rest, return to Beijing by car to avoid further injuries.Speeding up the horse, the dust and smoke are flying.
As for Zhao Wuyou, he also deserved what he deserved.
In Shangshu Mansion, nothing has changed, and no one knows that this Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites has a true or false case.Quietly, it simplifies the complicated things, and the simple things are left alone, no one notices and no one notices.
In the pear garden, Zhao Wuyou stood under the pear tree for a long time.The candle shadow flickered, and she looked up at the pear tree that had already lost its pear blossoms.Standing with hands behind his back, he took off the flying fish suit and changed back to the original Shengxue white suit.
The branches are full of greenery, but there are no pulsatillas.
Jian Yan added clothes for her, "It's a bit cold in the second half of the night, don't catch a cold."
"You should go back." Zhao Wuyou narrowed his eyes, and when he looked back at him, his eyes were as clear as a moon.Coughing twice, she closed her skirt, "Go back, I'm fine."
Jian Yan nodded, "Take good care of yourself, don't think too much. Commander Wang will handle that matter properly, don't worry!"
Zhao Wuyou let out a long breath, "I have experienced many things during this trip. I thought I would never come back, but I never thought I would come back alive. Jian Yan, what do you think people live for? Is it for love? For righteousness, or for your own desires? Or a combination of both?"
"It's fine, how do you talk about this?" Jian Yan frowned.
Zhao Wuyou shook his head, "It's nothing, it's just a sudden feeling. I almost died, and I feel that life is precious. Go back, I'm tired too!"
After saying that, she walked towards Tingfeng Tower.
Jian Yan stood under the tree, watching her back as she drifted away.That figure, frailty mixed with a touch of loneliness.It's too cold at the top, and you must be prepared to be alone for a lifetime when you are in the high pavilion.
She was clearly ready for it!
Zhao Wuyou walked up the stairs and stood under the eaves.
Jian Yan underneath was still standing, looking up in her direction.Such affectionate looking at each other is really not suitable for her.She doesn't like this kind of attachment, for her, this kind of attachment is just a fetter, and it will only become an excuse for indecision.
Tomorrow, she has to enter the palace for a face-off, so——she pushed the door open and closed the door expressionlessly.
Jian Yan sighed softly, then closed his eyes and left.
Standing at the window, Zhao Wuyou watched Jian Yan walk out of the gate of the troupe alone, and watched his back disappear into the night.In fact, it's not that she never thought about it, that Jian Yan is actually a good home.Gentle and refined, thoughtful, and deeply affectionate towards her.
It's a pity that some people appear in your life, just to miss and recall.
In his mind, he remembered what the barbarian pretended to be a warlock and said to himself that day.
Born to be lonely... Heh, now that I think about it, it really makes sense.From the moment she put on the official uniform in this life, she was doomed to have a day of consummation.
Born lonely, die alone.
Tingfeng Building is very quiet, there is no Yunzheng, Xi Mo, and Suxi.
He coughed twice, and the sparks in the brazier made a slight beeping sound.
She felt so alone, so lonely, with no one to talk to.
Her brain hurt a little, she sat at the desk, closed her eyes with her hands on her forehead, and thought of Lihua Shengxue not long ago.Her mind was muddled, and the feeling of pain made her feel even colder, as if no matter how many layers of clothes she wrapped, it was useless.
The chill is still coming in waves.
Zhao Wuyou sighed softly, suddenly coughed violently, and only then remembered that he forgot to take his medicine.Trembling, he opened a side drawer and took out a brocade box.When it was opened, it was filled with exactly the same porcelain vases.This is the medicine father prepared for her before he left.
Sometimes, Zhao Wuyou really hated these medicines.
Rather than hating these medicines, it is better to say that he hates his own body.As a woman, being fragile is also a kind of delicate beauty.But she is in the court, so many things are waiting for her to deal with, this body will only become a burden.
She didn't expect to be as strong and strong as the man, she only hoped that she could live longer, at least free from the pain and suffering.You don't have to think about it every day, whether you can still see the sun tomorrow.
A black shadow passed by, and then a person sat in the candlelight.
There was a clear sound of tea falling down, accompanied by a snort of disdain, "Master Zhao is indeed going to die soon."
"If I die too early, where should the supervisor go to have fun? This habit of climbing windows without saying a word, I'm afraid I will change." She stroked her undulating chest and walked to the case with a pale face.
She was about to pour water, but a glass of water was pushed to her.
Zhao Wuyou sighed lightly, drank water and took medicine.
Xu Shi drank too fast, she coughed a little, and her thin body was trembling constantly.Mu Baili stretched out his hand to stroke her back, and his eyes suddenly touched the little blush in her palm.
The next moment, he frowned and held her wrist.
She knew what he wanted to see, and at this moment she was powerless to resist, and opened her palm almost without any struggle.
He saw it very clearly, it was blood.
On her pale lips, there was still a little blush.
So, what she said earlier is true?
"Are you satisfied?" She said weakly, and slowly withdrew her hand, "This life is at the end of the rope. If we fight against the governor in the future, I hope the governor will be merciful. Time is running out, so don't do it." So absolutely, at least let me live my life!"
"There should be a limit to bitter tricks." Mu Baili sat down.
Zhao Wuyou smiled coldly, "Accidentally forgot, you are such a smart person, how could you not see my tricks. Well, I won't play this trick in the future. It's only three things. If I play too much, I will It's boring."
As he spoke, he coughed twice, and wiped away the blood on his palm with a handkerchief.
Mu Baili looked at her, with an inexplicable puzzlement in his dark eyes.He has been able to step up to where he is today, and his ability to observe words and emotions and figure out people's hearts is naturally perfect.
But facing Zhao Wuyou, he actually had a feeling that he couldn't see through.
Both good and evil, half true and half false.
Zhao Wuyou is like a riddle, an impossible riddle.
You think she's lying, but she's telling the truth so you can't find anything wrong.You thought she was telling the truth, but she turned around and denied it completely.So in the end, you have no idea which of her words are true and which are false.
Perhaps, both true and false.
"Why are you here?" Her tone sounded like an old friend, without any sense of unfamiliarity.
Mu Baili smiled, "None of the people around you came back. I am afraid that no one will know if you die suddenly, so come here to see if you can chop off these hands."
Zhao Wuyou nodded, "So the governor came to collect my body." Then he chuckled, "I'm sorry, the governor may return empty-handed. I'm not dead yet, I still have use for my hands. Wuyou is really grateful to have Master Lao running this trip."
"Since you are not dead, then let it go!" He got up to leave.
"Why do you insist on me going to Yunhua State? You have seen my situation. Going there is undoubtedly a dead end. You don't want me to die, why do you want to send me to die again? Mu Baili, what do you want to do with me? What is verified on your body?" Zhao Wuyou took a sip of water and spoke calmly.
Mu Baili stood there with his back to her.
Zhao Wuyou looked back at him, in the candlelight, his slender body was standing against the light.With his back facing her, he wore a purple robe, making the darkness of the room even darker.She couldn't see clearly what his expression was, nor could she figure out what his intentions were.
In the guessing world, no one knows what the other is thinking.
"Want to know?" Mu Baili asked.
Zhao Wuyou breathed out lightly, "Think."
Mu Baili looked back at her, and there was a dark and unclear color in his deep pupils.He looked at her with a very strange look, "I just want to try, will you die."
The sound fell, he had left.
Zhao Wuyou was startled, will he die?
What he said doesn't look like nonsense at all, what exactly does it mean?
Regardless of what it means, it is imperative to go to Yunhua Prefecture.Coughing twice, Zhao Wuyou rolled up his clothes, sighed involuntarily, looked down at the blood-stained handkerchief, and clenched his palms tightly, as if he was about to wring out blood.
The next day, the morning light was faint.
Zhao Wuyou was already ready to enter the palace, but his complexion was even worse, with tiredness in his paleness.
When the emperor learned that Zhao Wuyou had returned early in the morning, he couldn't help but be overjoyed.It doesn't matter if the prescription is lost, what matters is that his favorite minister is back, and Zhao Wuyou's trip is with important business, that is to say...
He was waiting for Zhao Wuyou's elixir of immortality, and Zhao Wuyou's answer.
Zhao Wuyou walked in the palace path expressionlessly, and walked slowly towards Xiyuan.
After entering the Longevity Palace, Zhao Wuyou bent over and knelt on the ground, and the emperor quickly stepped forward, "Aiqing has been bumpy all the way, get up quickly."
"I dare not get up." Zhao Wuyou whispered.
Hearing these words, the emperor was taken aback for a moment, then turned his eyebrows coldly, "What do you mean?"
Zhao Wuyou coughed lightly, "The minister survived the catastrophe, but he has humiliated his mission, please the emperor to punish him."
The emperor also knew about Zhao Wuyou's affairs. Mu Baili said earlier that he personally returned the token for Zhao Wuyou.The Zhao family and Dongchang had always had some grievances, and the emperor knew it well, so when Mu Baili took out the token, he knew that something big must happen.
If it hadn't been in a desperate situation, it would be impossible for Zhao Wuyou to let Mu Baili hand over such an important thing.
Something big happened?
The emperor gasped, remembering the prescription he had lost, and frowned, "What do you mean by that? What about the elixir of immortality I want?"
Zhao Wuyou still knelt down on the ground, "Forgive me, Your Majesty. Originally, I had already got the things, but - on the way, I met a group of people from Wuji Palace. I was pushed off the cliff and almost died, so I taught Wuji Palace everything." Robbed."
"The Promise Palace?" The emperor was startled, "What is the Promise Palace?" The emperor was in a deep palace, so naturally he didn't know the origin of the Promise Palace.However, even Zhao Wuyou dared to kill him, so he must have a lot of background.
"The Promise Palace is a Jianghu gang. I don't know who it originated from. They are all ruthless and ruthless, and they will use any means to achieve their goals. They wanted to kill the humble minister and snatch the elixir of life, but the governor arrived in time and saved one of the humble ministers. The minister was seriously injured, so that the trip back to Beijing was delayed." Zhao Wuyou's expression was dull, and she used to speak in such a tone that you couldn't tell whether what she said was true or false.
"How courageous!" The emperor has no interest in anything else, but this beautiful woman and immortality are the only bottom line he can't touch.Hearing that immortality was robbed, Long Yan was furious.
"Your Majesty, forgive me!" Zhao Wuyou hastily kowtowed, "It's because I'm not good at doing things, which gives the thieves an opportunity. I ask the emperor to punish me severely, I'm willing to accept it, and I have no complaints!"
The emperor was still immersed in anger, so he couldn't hear Zhao Wuyou's words.
Zhao Wuyou raised his head quietly, seeing the emperor's expression, he continued, "Your Majesty, I don't know if I should say something or not?"
"Say!" The emperor's face turned blue, and his face was intended to kill someone.
"The Promise Palace covets the medicine of immortality, will it be stolen from the palace this time..." She didn't continue.
Some things still have to be understood by the emperor himself!What the emperor can comprehend is the imperial decree, what she said doesn't count, she can only give good guidance!
The emperor seemed to have come to his senses and understood immediately, "These damned bastards dare to do such a thing under my nose. They dare to steal my things, they don't know how to live or die!"
Zhao Wuyou knelt down, "Your majesty calm down, I will definitely do my best to get back the elixir for the emperor."
"Aiqing is alive." The emperor sighed softly, and sat back a little dejectedly. "This matter must be dealt with by Aiqing as soon as possible. My immortality must not be delayed. At all costs, destroy the Wuji Palace and give the things to me." I will take it back."
Zhao Wuyou thanked him and got up, "Long live my emperor, long live, long live." He was relieved.
With the emperor's words, she didn't have to go to Yunhua state.It's a pity that she seems to have overlooked one problem, that is, the lingering one has no intention of letting her go.
The so-called lingering ghosts naturally follow each other like a shadow.
Xiao Dezi stepped forward to salute, "Your Majesty, the admiral of Dongchang is here."
The emperor was a little excited, "Let him in." After thinking for a while, he said to Zhao Wuyou, "If Dongchang is allowed to investigate, it must be faster. I don't allow ordinary people like them to contaminate my things."
Zhao Wuyou's heart skipped a beat, looking at the crimson figure slowly walking into sight, he began to think in his heart, how to prevent the emperor and Mu Baili from mentioning this matter?As long as the emperor didn't speak in front of him, the plague in Yunhua Prefecture would not be spread to him.
Mu Baili didn't even look at her, he walked up to the emperor and bowed to salute, "I see the emperor, my emperor, long live, long live, long live."
"Aiqing is alive." The emperor was a little delighted, "How is the investigation?"
"Returning to the emperor, the slave asked people to carefully question people inside and outside the palace, and found that this matter seems to be related to a certain organization in Jianghu." Mu Baili said very euphemistically.
Zhao Wuyou felt a little sick, this dead eunuch's ears are really good!He could hear himself mentioning the matter of Wuji Palace through the door, and he didn't know what he was thinking?help her?Or tear her down?
"The Promise Palace?" the emperor blurted out.
Mu Baili nodded, "My emperor is wise. Your majesty has become clearer and clearer. I think this elixir will be of great benefit. The emperor knows what the slave is thinking. Long live my emperor!"
This flattery was so good that it hit the emperor's heart.
you do not say!He took this elixir, and now he is a half-immortal, and he can guess the minds of the servants.Presumably, as long as you continue to take it, you will soon become immortal.
The emperor said, "What Aiqing said is very true, but now that the prescription is lost, it is already impossible for the priest to gradually improve the configuration of the prescription. Aiqing should go to investigate immediately and bring the prescription back to me."
"Slave complies with the order!" Mu Baili bowed his head, "It's just the emperor, how should we deal with the plague in Yunhua Prefecture?"
"Your Majesty!" Zhao Wuyou saluted and interrupted Mu Baili's words, "Report to Your Majesty that this matter should be handed over to Dongchang. With the ability of the supervisor, it must be able to handle it properly. The Emperor's subduing will be imminent, and I privately think that It is better not to disturb the situation. If you are too tense, it will inevitably arouse the suspicion of the people, and the people will panic at that time, which is not conducive to the stability of the court."
The emperor frowned, it made sense.
Both sides are for his own sake, so which side should he focus on?The public says that the public is right and the woman says that the woman is reasonable, what should I do?
The emperor hesitated, unable to make up his mind.
Mu Baili said, "Your Majesty, the plague has been as fierce as a tiger since ancient times. Now it has not spread to the capital, and we have to guard against it! It is a good thing for the Emperor to visit the people, but it is not safe outside. The slave is deeply afraid of the Emperor's practice. , there was some delay, I thought it would be better to stay in the palace."
Thinking of the raging plague, the emperor's expression changed a little.Plague is something that can kill people, so it must not be contaminated.So what should we do?
"We must not let the plague spread to the capital." The emperor stared.
Zhao Wuyou bowed and saluted, "Your Majesty, don't worry, I have already discussed with the soldiers and horses of the five cities. Anyone who comes from the direction of Yunhua Prefecture must be quarantined and thoroughly investigated. If you encounter refugees, you will not be allowed to enter the city."
"This is the best!" The emperor sighed softly, "Since I ascended the throne, the country has been prosperous and the people have been peaceful. Why did the plague break out so well? Is it a test from the heavens?"
"Your Majesty's sageness is known to all the world." Zhao Wuyou leaned forward, "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, the Lord Superintendent will definitely control this plague very well. My servant will find the Emperor's prescription as soon as possible, so as not to delay the important matter of cultivation. .”
The emperor nodded.
Zhao Wuyou breathed a sigh of relief, she could only try her best not to go to that ghostly place in Yunhua State.plague!Heh, with her resistance, she probably won't be able to come back after going there.She is not stupid enough to sacrifice her status for the so-called righteousness of the world.
Mu Baili said, "Your Majesty, this servant has already begun to investigate the matter of the prescription. This Wuji Palace is extremely vicious, Lord Zhao is probably beyond his power. If this matter is entrusted to this servant, this servant will definitely live up to his mission. As for the plague in Yunhua State, Slave——" He knelt on the ground, "Slave deserves to die, please forgive me, Your Majesty."
Zhao Wuyou was stunned, "It's broken, the dead eunuch wants to make a move!"
Sure enough, the emperor was taken aback, "What's going on?"
Mu Baili knelt down, "This slave lied to the emperor, please punish him. Before entering the palace, this slave had a face-to-face meeting with Mr. Zhao and mentioned the plague. Mr. Zhao spoke clearly and logically, and this slave also felt that it was the best way to deal with this matter. Good. I sent people to Yunhua State early, and if I got news, I didn’t need to report it and directly dispatched the army to isolate and suppress it.”
"It's all thanks to Mr. Zhao's guidance that no news about the matter in Yunhua State has been leaked. Your Majesty, Mr. Zhao is well versed in this way. I secretly thought that I should invite Mr. Zhao to go to Yunhua State with this slave. If we can control Plague can also be regarded as beneficial to the country and the people, and he is loyal to the emperor. What does Lord Zhao think?"
Well, once the hat of loyalty and patriotism is taken off, you have to take it if you don't!
Zhao Wuyou said, "What the Governor said is very true. Your Majesty, I will definitely do my best to deal with the plague. Please rest assured, Your Majesty."
The dead eunuch cheated on her again!
(End of this chapter)
"What should we do now?" the shadow guard commander asked.
Su Xi didn't speak, just stood there quietly.She still remembers that in the past, her elder brother was hunted down by someone, if Zhao Wuyou hadn't helped her, maybe she and her elder brother would have returned to the underworld by now.
In this world, where there are people, there is killing.
Thinking of the dead family members and those tragic scenes, Su Xi's hand holding the sword trembled slightly.She killed people out of helplessness, but killing innocent people in vain was just for her own unscrupulous means.
But after thinking about it, what is the difference between helplessness and willingness to deprive others of their lives?
"Go back!" No matter what happened here, her goal was to find Yunzheng and the others, not to investigate a massacre that happened in unknown years and months.There are too many people dying in this world, so there is nothing to care about.
There is still no news about Yunzheng and Fusheng, and Xi Mo is dead or alive.
It wasn't until the explosion in Dongchang that Su Xi was completely relieved when she learned that Zhao Wuyou was not dead.As long as he is not dead, it is naturally the safest with the protection of Dongchang.
Su Xi is well aware of Mu Baili's high martial arts, so she no longer needs to worry about Zhao Wuyou.
Now, finding Yunzheng and the others is her most important task.
For several days, they searched carefully in the house, rummaging from room to room, for fear of making mistakes.Su Xi always felt that the biggest problem was still in this house.
It was quiet at night, and the whole house fell into a dead silence.
The night was dark and windy, it was too scary.
Suddenly, the commander of the shadow guards walked over quickly, "I found the entrance to a secret passage."
"Go!" Su Xi was startled.
The secret passage is in a very remote corner, and you have to climb a ladder to go down.It was dark down there, so I couldn't see what was there.The shadow guard walked in front with a torch, and Su Xi followed behind.
This secret path extends in all directions, and there are routes one after another, and I don't know where they lead.
Su Xi could only walk around, when she opened the exit of a secret passage, she stood there in a daze and didn't recover for a while.
This—isn't this the yard?
She suddenly understood that the secret passage extending in all directions underneath actually connected the entire house.So that day, Yunzheng will suddenly disappear.That's because he was dragged down the secret path, so there was no trace left behind.
There is water in this secret passage, probably because it rained that day.
Su Xi was startled, and suddenly ran wildly in the tunnel.Open an exit again, it really is Fusheng's room.In other words, they disappeared that day only because they were dragged into a secret passage.
"What an idiot!" I didn't expect that people were right under my nose.If it wasn't for Zhao Wuyou's thoughtfulness back then, she would definitely have stayed.But now, the tunnel is empty, and people don't know where they are taking them.
The commander of the shadow guard came over holding a torch, "There is an exit, and it is to leave the house."
"Where is it?" Su Xi was slightly taken aback.
The two walked quickly, and the end of this tunnel was in the wilderness, and there was a deserted ancient temple not far away.
Suxi made a quick gesture, and the shadow guard behind her immediately fell to the ground.At a glance, the gate of the ancient temple was closed tightly, but there was a little smoke curling up from inside.So she was sure there must be someone inside.
"Human, will it be there?" The shadow guard commander frowned.
Su Xi pursed her lips, "It's hard to say! Let's see first." After thinking about it, she asked, "How did you find the authentic way?"
"I thought it was a mouse hole, but when I dug it down, it turned out to be a secret path. What's wrong?" the shadow guard commander was puzzled.
"It's okay." Suxi took a deep breath, "You guys stare, I'll go and have a look. Follow my signal and act! If they are really here, they will get rid of all the evil. Of course, it's best to keep alive, if not— kill!"
"Understood!" The shadow guard leader nodded.
There are indeed people in this ancient temple.
All of them were masked in black, and they were roasting rabbits at this time.
This place is far away from that house, Suxi did not expect this secret passage to be so long.From here, they couldn't see the house at all, so they were very relieved to hide people here.
Su Xi leaned on the roof, looking at the people below.She didn't know if they were from Wuji Palace, they seemed to be women.If it's really a woman, then it's probably them.
So now, she has to confirm whether Fu Sheng and Yun Zheng are also here.
You can't startle the snake, you can only look at it first.
Turned over and fell, with light steps.Su Xi looked around, and flew into the ancient temple as quickly as lightning.There are also people holding hands in the temple, Suxi must be extra careful.Once they startled the snake, it might be bad for Yunzheng and the others.
Entering the backyard, there is a row of palaces.Although dilapidated, it can also shelter from wind and rain.
There were handles outside the door, Suxi was hanging upside down under the eaves, carefully hiding herself in the dark to investigate.
There are guards outside the temples on the left and right.
Could it be that Yunzheng and the others are here?
Thinking of this, Suxi turned over to the roof, carefully lifted the tiles and looked down.Sure enough, she saw Yunzheng and Xi Mo.The two were tied to the pillars, looking a little dying.
So what about floating life?
Taking a deep breath, Su Xi waited for the opportunity.
Outside the temple, the shadow guards were also waiting for their opportunity.
In the dead of night, when the guard fell asleep, this is the time for Suxi to move.Landed, drew sword, saw blood.All the movements were done in one go, the guard didn't even have time to hum, and he was killed on the spot.
Pushing open the door and entering, Yunzheng and Xi Mo suddenly widened their eyes in shock.
"Miss Su Xi?" Yun Zheng was delighted.
Su Xi let out a "shh", and cut the rope immediately, "Where is Fusheng?"
"He was taken away." Because of being bound for a long time, the moment Yunzheng just untied the rope, her feet went limp and she fell to the ground immediately.After a low hum, footsteps came from outside.
Found out? !
"Take care of her!" Su Xi glanced at Xi Mo.
Xi Mo has injuries, but men are stronger than women after all.Trying their best to support Yunzheng, the two staggered out of the room.
Outside, people from Wuji Palace faced each other coldly, and they had already surrounded the place.
"Kill them!" The leader yelled.
Su Xi snorted coldly, "It's not certain who lives and who dies!" Leng Jian unsheathed, and returned only when he saw blood.The signal was sent out, and the sound of fighting soon sounded outside the main hall. It was the sound of the shadow guard rushing in.
The entire ancient temple was in a mess, and the sound of fighting continued.
"Go to Fusheng!" Su Xi said coldly.
"Okay!" After recovering, Xi Mo and Yun Zheng began to search for Fu Sheng's whereabouts.
In the last hall, they found Fu Sheng who had been beaten to the brink of death.Fu Sheng closed his eyes tightly, looking serious.
"Help him away!" Xi Mo was injured, and Yunzheng didn't have enough strength to carry Fusheng away, so the two could only help him out, one on the left and the other on the right.
Fu Sheng came to his senses, "Is it you?"
"Are you okay?" Yunzheng asked.
There was a lot of chaos outside, they could only take advantage of the chaos and leave.
"I—" Fu Sheng's breathing was short, and suddenly, he pushed Yun Zheng away fiercely.
It was late and then fast, the cold light was sharp, it was the coldness of the blade falling.Blood splashed, accompanied by the sharp cry of Yunzheng.Fu Sheng fell to the ground, his arm was cut open, and his sleeve was stained red with blood.
"Fusheng?" Yunzheng shouted.
Xi Mo's martial arts is not high, even if he has a lot of fists and legs, he has to rush up at this time.
"Let's go!" Xi Mo yelled, picked up the wooden stick at the side and went up to meet him.
Yunzheng came back to her senses, hurriedly picked up the dying Fusheng, and quickly moved outside.Su Xi is outside, it is safe to go out.
Outside, Suxi has almost killed a thousand people, leaving only two alive!Turning back to the palace, seeing Yunzheng floating out with blood dripping at first, his brows froze.
"Xi Mo is still inside!" Yunzheng said hurriedly.
Su Xi jumped and quickly entered the hall.
Clean and neat, one sword kills.
There was a big cut on the back of Xi Mo's hand, but it's not a serious problem, it's just that after such a toss, the whole person is very empty.Fortunately, everyone is fine, and they are still alive. This is the only luck.
At least when he returns to the capital, he can give Zhao Wuyou an explanation.
Fu Sheng was seriously injured, but it was not life-threatening.
Suxi personally washed the wound for Fu Shengqing, applied medicine and bandaged it, "Don't worry, there is no injury to the bones, and it will heal soon. During this period, don't touch the water, don't eat spicy food, pay attention to changing the dressing frequently so that the wound does not open again. .”
"Thank you!" Fu Sheng nodded, "Thanks to Miss Su Xi, otherwise we would have died there."
"Thank you for that mouse!" Suxi stood up, and Yunzheng immediately brought up the water basin.
After washing her hands, Suxi felt relieved, "Get ready, we will leave for Beijing right away."
Yunzheng nodded, "I don't know how the young master is doing now, that day..."
"Okay, there's no need to say anything! Get ready and set off immediately!" Su Xi's face was calm, she was used to such a cool and cold appearance, and Yun Zheng was also used to it.After saying that, Su Xi left the room without looking back.
"Thank you!" Yunzheng took a look at Fusheng, turned and left.
After going out, Xi Mo was already waiting outside, "Is he alright?"
"I can't die." Yunzheng handed the washbasin to the people around her, "It's finally come to an end, I can go back to the capital to see the young master."
"It's a good thing that Mr. Fu has a great fate, but I heard that it was Dongchang who came to save people. I don't know if you agreed to something, otherwise how could Dongchang be so straightforward and help you?" Xi Mo couldn't help it worry.
"Let's talk when we go back!" Yunzheng narrowed her eyes.
It's a long way to go to the capital, everyone has big and small injuries, I'm afraid there will be delays on the way.
Su Xi naturally took the first step, and returned to Beijing immediately to return to her command, so that Zhao Wuyou could rest assured.For the rest, return to Beijing by car to avoid further injuries.Speeding up the horse, the dust and smoke are flying.
As for Zhao Wuyou, he also deserved what he deserved.
In Shangshu Mansion, nothing has changed, and no one knows that this Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites has a true or false case.Quietly, it simplifies the complicated things, and the simple things are left alone, no one notices and no one notices.
In the pear garden, Zhao Wuyou stood under the pear tree for a long time.The candle shadow flickered, and she looked up at the pear tree that had already lost its pear blossoms.Standing with hands behind his back, he took off the flying fish suit and changed back to the original Shengxue white suit.
The branches are full of greenery, but there are no pulsatillas.
Jian Yan added clothes for her, "It's a bit cold in the second half of the night, don't catch a cold."
"You should go back." Zhao Wuyou narrowed his eyes, and when he looked back at him, his eyes were as clear as a moon.Coughing twice, she closed her skirt, "Go back, I'm fine."
Jian Yan nodded, "Take good care of yourself, don't think too much. Commander Wang will handle that matter properly, don't worry!"
Zhao Wuyou let out a long breath, "I have experienced many things during this trip. I thought I would never come back, but I never thought I would come back alive. Jian Yan, what do you think people live for? Is it for love? For righteousness, or for your own desires? Or a combination of both?"
"It's fine, how do you talk about this?" Jian Yan frowned.
Zhao Wuyou shook his head, "It's nothing, it's just a sudden feeling. I almost died, and I feel that life is precious. Go back, I'm tired too!"
After saying that, she walked towards Tingfeng Tower.
Jian Yan stood under the tree, watching her back as she drifted away.That figure, frailty mixed with a touch of loneliness.It's too cold at the top, and you must be prepared to be alone for a lifetime when you are in the high pavilion.
She was clearly ready for it!
Zhao Wuyou walked up the stairs and stood under the eaves.
Jian Yan underneath was still standing, looking up in her direction.Such affectionate looking at each other is really not suitable for her.She doesn't like this kind of attachment, for her, this kind of attachment is just a fetter, and it will only become an excuse for indecision.
Tomorrow, she has to enter the palace for a face-off, so——she pushed the door open and closed the door expressionlessly.
Jian Yan sighed softly, then closed his eyes and left.
Standing at the window, Zhao Wuyou watched Jian Yan walk out of the gate of the troupe alone, and watched his back disappear into the night.In fact, it's not that she never thought about it, that Jian Yan is actually a good home.Gentle and refined, thoughtful, and deeply affectionate towards her.
It's a pity that some people appear in your life, just to miss and recall.
In his mind, he remembered what the barbarian pretended to be a warlock and said to himself that day.
Born to be lonely... Heh, now that I think about it, it really makes sense.From the moment she put on the official uniform in this life, she was doomed to have a day of consummation.
Born lonely, die alone.
Tingfeng Building is very quiet, there is no Yunzheng, Xi Mo, and Suxi.
He coughed twice, and the sparks in the brazier made a slight beeping sound.
She felt so alone, so lonely, with no one to talk to.
Her brain hurt a little, she sat at the desk, closed her eyes with her hands on her forehead, and thought of Lihua Shengxue not long ago.Her mind was muddled, and the feeling of pain made her feel even colder, as if no matter how many layers of clothes she wrapped, it was useless.
The chill is still coming in waves.
Zhao Wuyou sighed softly, suddenly coughed violently, and only then remembered that he forgot to take his medicine.Trembling, he opened a side drawer and took out a brocade box.When it was opened, it was filled with exactly the same porcelain vases.This is the medicine father prepared for her before he left.
Sometimes, Zhao Wuyou really hated these medicines.
Rather than hating these medicines, it is better to say that he hates his own body.As a woman, being fragile is also a kind of delicate beauty.But she is in the court, so many things are waiting for her to deal with, this body will only become a burden.
She didn't expect to be as strong and strong as the man, she only hoped that she could live longer, at least free from the pain and suffering.You don't have to think about it every day, whether you can still see the sun tomorrow.
A black shadow passed by, and then a person sat in the candlelight.
There was a clear sound of tea falling down, accompanied by a snort of disdain, "Master Zhao is indeed going to die soon."
"If I die too early, where should the supervisor go to have fun? This habit of climbing windows without saying a word, I'm afraid I will change." She stroked her undulating chest and walked to the case with a pale face.
She was about to pour water, but a glass of water was pushed to her.
Zhao Wuyou sighed lightly, drank water and took medicine.
Xu Shi drank too fast, she coughed a little, and her thin body was trembling constantly.Mu Baili stretched out his hand to stroke her back, and his eyes suddenly touched the little blush in her palm.
The next moment, he frowned and held her wrist.
She knew what he wanted to see, and at this moment she was powerless to resist, and opened her palm almost without any struggle.
He saw it very clearly, it was blood.
On her pale lips, there was still a little blush.
So, what she said earlier is true?
"Are you satisfied?" She said weakly, and slowly withdrew her hand, "This life is at the end of the rope. If we fight against the governor in the future, I hope the governor will be merciful. Time is running out, so don't do it." So absolutely, at least let me live my life!"
"There should be a limit to bitter tricks." Mu Baili sat down.
Zhao Wuyou smiled coldly, "Accidentally forgot, you are such a smart person, how could you not see my tricks. Well, I won't play this trick in the future. It's only three things. If I play too much, I will It's boring."
As he spoke, he coughed twice, and wiped away the blood on his palm with a handkerchief.
Mu Baili looked at her, with an inexplicable puzzlement in his dark eyes.He has been able to step up to where he is today, and his ability to observe words and emotions and figure out people's hearts is naturally perfect.
But facing Zhao Wuyou, he actually had a feeling that he couldn't see through.
Both good and evil, half true and half false.
Zhao Wuyou is like a riddle, an impossible riddle.
You think she's lying, but she's telling the truth so you can't find anything wrong.You thought she was telling the truth, but she turned around and denied it completely.So in the end, you have no idea which of her words are true and which are false.
Perhaps, both true and false.
"Why are you here?" Her tone sounded like an old friend, without any sense of unfamiliarity.
Mu Baili smiled, "None of the people around you came back. I am afraid that no one will know if you die suddenly, so come here to see if you can chop off these hands."
Zhao Wuyou nodded, "So the governor came to collect my body." Then he chuckled, "I'm sorry, the governor may return empty-handed. I'm not dead yet, I still have use for my hands. Wuyou is really grateful to have Master Lao running this trip."
"Since you are not dead, then let it go!" He got up to leave.
"Why do you insist on me going to Yunhua State? You have seen my situation. Going there is undoubtedly a dead end. You don't want me to die, why do you want to send me to die again? Mu Baili, what do you want to do with me? What is verified on your body?" Zhao Wuyou took a sip of water and spoke calmly.
Mu Baili stood there with his back to her.
Zhao Wuyou looked back at him, in the candlelight, his slender body was standing against the light.With his back facing her, he wore a purple robe, making the darkness of the room even darker.She couldn't see clearly what his expression was, nor could she figure out what his intentions were.
In the guessing world, no one knows what the other is thinking.
"Want to know?" Mu Baili asked.
Zhao Wuyou breathed out lightly, "Think."
Mu Baili looked back at her, and there was a dark and unclear color in his deep pupils.He looked at her with a very strange look, "I just want to try, will you die."
The sound fell, he had left.
Zhao Wuyou was startled, will he die?
What he said doesn't look like nonsense at all, what exactly does it mean?
Regardless of what it means, it is imperative to go to Yunhua Prefecture.Coughing twice, Zhao Wuyou rolled up his clothes, sighed involuntarily, looked down at the blood-stained handkerchief, and clenched his palms tightly, as if he was about to wring out blood.
The next day, the morning light was faint.
Zhao Wuyou was already ready to enter the palace, but his complexion was even worse, with tiredness in his paleness.
When the emperor learned that Zhao Wuyou had returned early in the morning, he couldn't help but be overjoyed.It doesn't matter if the prescription is lost, what matters is that his favorite minister is back, and Zhao Wuyou's trip is with important business, that is to say...
He was waiting for Zhao Wuyou's elixir of immortality, and Zhao Wuyou's answer.
Zhao Wuyou walked in the palace path expressionlessly, and walked slowly towards Xiyuan.
After entering the Longevity Palace, Zhao Wuyou bent over and knelt on the ground, and the emperor quickly stepped forward, "Aiqing has been bumpy all the way, get up quickly."
"I dare not get up." Zhao Wuyou whispered.
Hearing these words, the emperor was taken aback for a moment, then turned his eyebrows coldly, "What do you mean?"
Zhao Wuyou coughed lightly, "The minister survived the catastrophe, but he has humiliated his mission, please the emperor to punish him."
The emperor also knew about Zhao Wuyou's affairs. Mu Baili said earlier that he personally returned the token for Zhao Wuyou.The Zhao family and Dongchang had always had some grievances, and the emperor knew it well, so when Mu Baili took out the token, he knew that something big must happen.
If it hadn't been in a desperate situation, it would be impossible for Zhao Wuyou to let Mu Baili hand over such an important thing.
Something big happened?
The emperor gasped, remembering the prescription he had lost, and frowned, "What do you mean by that? What about the elixir of immortality I want?"
Zhao Wuyou still knelt down on the ground, "Forgive me, Your Majesty. Originally, I had already got the things, but - on the way, I met a group of people from Wuji Palace. I was pushed off the cliff and almost died, so I taught Wuji Palace everything." Robbed."
"The Promise Palace?" The emperor was startled, "What is the Promise Palace?" The emperor was in a deep palace, so naturally he didn't know the origin of the Promise Palace.However, even Zhao Wuyou dared to kill him, so he must have a lot of background.
"The Promise Palace is a Jianghu gang. I don't know who it originated from. They are all ruthless and ruthless, and they will use any means to achieve their goals. They wanted to kill the humble minister and snatch the elixir of life, but the governor arrived in time and saved one of the humble ministers. The minister was seriously injured, so that the trip back to Beijing was delayed." Zhao Wuyou's expression was dull, and she used to speak in such a tone that you couldn't tell whether what she said was true or false.
"How courageous!" The emperor has no interest in anything else, but this beautiful woman and immortality are the only bottom line he can't touch.Hearing that immortality was robbed, Long Yan was furious.
"Your Majesty, forgive me!" Zhao Wuyou hastily kowtowed, "It's because I'm not good at doing things, which gives the thieves an opportunity. I ask the emperor to punish me severely, I'm willing to accept it, and I have no complaints!"
The emperor was still immersed in anger, so he couldn't hear Zhao Wuyou's words.
Zhao Wuyou raised his head quietly, seeing the emperor's expression, he continued, "Your Majesty, I don't know if I should say something or not?"
"Say!" The emperor's face turned blue, and his face was intended to kill someone.
"The Promise Palace covets the medicine of immortality, will it be stolen from the palace this time..." She didn't continue.
Some things still have to be understood by the emperor himself!What the emperor can comprehend is the imperial decree, what she said doesn't count, she can only give good guidance!
The emperor seemed to have come to his senses and understood immediately, "These damned bastards dare to do such a thing under my nose. They dare to steal my things, they don't know how to live or die!"
Zhao Wuyou knelt down, "Your majesty calm down, I will definitely do my best to get back the elixir for the emperor."
"Aiqing is alive." The emperor sighed softly, and sat back a little dejectedly. "This matter must be dealt with by Aiqing as soon as possible. My immortality must not be delayed. At all costs, destroy the Wuji Palace and give the things to me." I will take it back."
Zhao Wuyou thanked him and got up, "Long live my emperor, long live, long live." He was relieved.
With the emperor's words, she didn't have to go to Yunhua state.It's a pity that she seems to have overlooked one problem, that is, the lingering one has no intention of letting her go.
The so-called lingering ghosts naturally follow each other like a shadow.
Xiao Dezi stepped forward to salute, "Your Majesty, the admiral of Dongchang is here."
The emperor was a little excited, "Let him in." After thinking for a while, he said to Zhao Wuyou, "If Dongchang is allowed to investigate, it must be faster. I don't allow ordinary people like them to contaminate my things."
Zhao Wuyou's heart skipped a beat, looking at the crimson figure slowly walking into sight, he began to think in his heart, how to prevent the emperor and Mu Baili from mentioning this matter?As long as the emperor didn't speak in front of him, the plague in Yunhua Prefecture would not be spread to him.
Mu Baili didn't even look at her, he walked up to the emperor and bowed to salute, "I see the emperor, my emperor, long live, long live, long live."
"Aiqing is alive." The emperor was a little delighted, "How is the investigation?"
"Returning to the emperor, the slave asked people to carefully question people inside and outside the palace, and found that this matter seems to be related to a certain organization in Jianghu." Mu Baili said very euphemistically.
Zhao Wuyou felt a little sick, this dead eunuch's ears are really good!He could hear himself mentioning the matter of Wuji Palace through the door, and he didn't know what he was thinking?help her?Or tear her down?
"The Promise Palace?" the emperor blurted out.
Mu Baili nodded, "My emperor is wise. Your majesty has become clearer and clearer. I think this elixir will be of great benefit. The emperor knows what the slave is thinking. Long live my emperor!"
This flattery was so good that it hit the emperor's heart.
you do not say!He took this elixir, and now he is a half-immortal, and he can guess the minds of the servants.Presumably, as long as you continue to take it, you will soon become immortal.
The emperor said, "What Aiqing said is very true, but now that the prescription is lost, it is already impossible for the priest to gradually improve the configuration of the prescription. Aiqing should go to investigate immediately and bring the prescription back to me."
"Slave complies with the order!" Mu Baili bowed his head, "It's just the emperor, how should we deal with the plague in Yunhua Prefecture?"
"Your Majesty!" Zhao Wuyou saluted and interrupted Mu Baili's words, "Report to Your Majesty that this matter should be handed over to Dongchang. With the ability of the supervisor, it must be able to handle it properly. The Emperor's subduing will be imminent, and I privately think that It is better not to disturb the situation. If you are too tense, it will inevitably arouse the suspicion of the people, and the people will panic at that time, which is not conducive to the stability of the court."
The emperor frowned, it made sense.
Both sides are for his own sake, so which side should he focus on?The public says that the public is right and the woman says that the woman is reasonable, what should I do?
The emperor hesitated, unable to make up his mind.
Mu Baili said, "Your Majesty, the plague has been as fierce as a tiger since ancient times. Now it has not spread to the capital, and we have to guard against it! It is a good thing for the Emperor to visit the people, but it is not safe outside. The slave is deeply afraid of the Emperor's practice. , there was some delay, I thought it would be better to stay in the palace."
Thinking of the raging plague, the emperor's expression changed a little.Plague is something that can kill people, so it must not be contaminated.So what should we do?
"We must not let the plague spread to the capital." The emperor stared.
Zhao Wuyou bowed and saluted, "Your Majesty, don't worry, I have already discussed with the soldiers and horses of the five cities. Anyone who comes from the direction of Yunhua Prefecture must be quarantined and thoroughly investigated. If you encounter refugees, you will not be allowed to enter the city."
"This is the best!" The emperor sighed softly, "Since I ascended the throne, the country has been prosperous and the people have been peaceful. Why did the plague break out so well? Is it a test from the heavens?"
"Your Majesty's sageness is known to all the world." Zhao Wuyou leaned forward, "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, the Lord Superintendent will definitely control this plague very well. My servant will find the Emperor's prescription as soon as possible, so as not to delay the important matter of cultivation. .”
The emperor nodded.
Zhao Wuyou breathed a sigh of relief, she could only try her best not to go to that ghostly place in Yunhua State.plague!Heh, with her resistance, she probably won't be able to come back after going there.She is not stupid enough to sacrifice her status for the so-called righteousness of the world.
Mu Baili said, "Your Majesty, this servant has already begun to investigate the matter of the prescription. This Wuji Palace is extremely vicious, Lord Zhao is probably beyond his power. If this matter is entrusted to this servant, this servant will definitely live up to his mission. As for the plague in Yunhua State, Slave——" He knelt on the ground, "Slave deserves to die, please forgive me, Your Majesty."
Zhao Wuyou was stunned, "It's broken, the dead eunuch wants to make a move!"
Sure enough, the emperor was taken aback, "What's going on?"
Mu Baili knelt down, "This slave lied to the emperor, please punish him. Before entering the palace, this slave had a face-to-face meeting with Mr. Zhao and mentioned the plague. Mr. Zhao spoke clearly and logically, and this slave also felt that it was the best way to deal with this matter. Good. I sent people to Yunhua State early, and if I got news, I didn’t need to report it and directly dispatched the army to isolate and suppress it.”
"It's all thanks to Mr. Zhao's guidance that no news about the matter in Yunhua State has been leaked. Your Majesty, Mr. Zhao is well versed in this way. I secretly thought that I should invite Mr. Zhao to go to Yunhua State with this slave. If we can control Plague can also be regarded as beneficial to the country and the people, and he is loyal to the emperor. What does Lord Zhao think?"
Well, once the hat of loyalty and patriotism is taken off, you have to take it if you don't!
Zhao Wuyou said, "What the Governor said is very true. Your Majesty, I will definitely do my best to deal with the plague. Please rest assured, Your Majesty."
The dead eunuch cheated on her again!
