My wife is weirder than the last

Chapter 367 Chapter 798-800 Are you willing to sacrifice for Tai'an City?
Looking at the night in the distance, Li Xun asked softly, "Elder Ke told you about the forbidden area."
"Say it." Chu Zheng nodded frankly.
"What does Mr. Chu think?"
"Naturally, it is in accordance with His Majesty's will, and all actions are in line with His Majesty's plan." Chu Zheng assured.
"Beyond right and wrong, I believe in the judgment of Dali Temple more, so this is not appropriate. I should ask Dali Temple for more advice." Li Xun smiled lightly, and then continued to add.
"Some time ago, Mr. Ke and Yu Shaoqing came to the palace to look for me, and I explained the ins and outs of the matter to them. But I didn't explain some things thoroughly."
Chu Zheng seemed to have guessed that Li Xun would say this, but just sat there silently, waiting for the follow-up.
Li Xun took another piece of mutton and put it in his stomach, "What I told Mr. Ke and the others was that they were not fully prepared. This is true but it is not true."
"Please make it clear, Your Majesty."
Li Xun said indifferently, "In a sense, I can't do anything about the things in the forbidden area. Now I know how that person wants to get rid of the shackles of the millennium, so as to re-enter the world.
He wanted to use the blood of a city's living beings to sacrifice the dragon's veins, and then use this to break the road. "
Hearing these words, Chu Zheng's face changed slightly.
The news was too explosive and shocking for him.Such a frenzied conspiracy made Chu Zheng feel a sincere chill in his heart.
"How did Your Majesty know about this?" Chu Zheng asked puzzled.It stands to reason that this kind of thing must be the ultimate goal and secret of the Taizu, and it is impossible to leak it.
Moreover, the Taizu was skeptical of Li Xun, otherwise Li Xun would not know so little, so Li Xun should not know.
"Someone told me." Li Xun explained.
"Who?"
"I said I don't know, do you believe it?"
To be honest, Chu Zheng definitely didn't trust this matter in his heart, but Li Xun had already told himself about it, and there would be no point in keeping it a secret, so he was a little confused.
Li Xun naturally saw the meaning behind Chu Zheng's silence. He took out a jade talisman and handed it to Chu Zheng, saying, "I received this jade talisman a few days ago, and it contains the incident recorded."
Chu Zheng took the jade talisman and put it on his forehead to check.
It not only said that the Taizu wanted to sacrifice blood to Tai'an City to break the road, but more importantly, it explained clearly the ins and outs of why the blood sacrifice was required.
The ghost way kung fu practiced by that Taizu was originally a kind of ghost way kung fu. After so many years, he absorbed the spirits of forty great Qi emperors, and almost formed a parasitic relationship with the dragon veins.
Now that the dragon veins are withered, it has already constituted an essential impact on his life, and if he wants to make a breakthrough on the road, he must sacrifice the blood of thousands of creatures nourished by the dragon veins.
Re-activate the dragon veins, and then use this powerful and terrifying power to break free from the symbiotic shackles of the dragon veins and seek the possibility of breaking the avenue.
For that great ancestor, this was simply the perfect solution.
The only creatures that can stimulate the dragon veins are the people in this city of Tai'an. These people have been nourished by the energy of the dragon veins for generations, and their physique is different from that of the people in other places.
And with this kind of nourishment, the Blood Sacrifice and the others are completely in line with the dragon's veins, and they are the best nutrients for the dragon's veins.It is almost said that it can be fed back to the dragon vein without loss.
And this is exactly what the Taizu really wanted.
In addition to this incident, there are other things about Taizu recorded in this jade talisman, and these things are all things that happened hundreds of years ago.
Chu Zheng didn't know the authenticity, but he could guess that leaving these things to the person with the jade talisman was to enhance the credibility of the information.
After reading it, Chu Zheng put down the jade talisman in his hand, his face became more and more silent,
If this incident is true, it will be an absolute disaster for the entire Tai'an City.
Seeing that Chu Zheng had finished reading it, Li Xun continued, "After receiving this jade talisman, the first thing I did was not believe it. But later, I checked the things recorded on it one by one.
All of them are true, and the theory of blood sacrifice, I also let the national teacher and Master Kongru deduce it, and the answer I got is very likely to be the same. "
"However, it doesn't record how to sacrifice blood to thousands of souls in Tai'an City, and when to sacrifice blood." Chu Zheng was puzzled.
Li Xun sighed, "Ever since I knew about this, I knew that this would be the sharpest sword hanging over the head of Tai'an City."
"Your Majesty, the only people who know about Taizu are you, Your Majesty, and a few people. There are also people from Taizu's side. Those who can know Taizu's plan in such detail.
The veteran felt that most of them were from Taizu's lineage, that is, that Mr. Li.So the old minister thought that the person who gave His Majesty this jade talisman was most likely Mr. Li.
Although the veteran didn't know the relationship between Mr. Li and Taizu, he thought that Mr. Li would not betray Taizu like this.
What is the significance of this jade talisman?Is it interference? "Chu Zheng analyzed it a little bit.
"I've thought about what you said." Li Xun explained, "It's pointless to interfere with such things.
Regardless of whether this matter is true or not, the other party is determined that this is a blatant conspiracy.
It cannot be controlled by our unbelief.Because we can't afford to gamble, and we can't take Tai'an City to gamble that this matter is fake.
After getting the jade talisman, I immediately wanted to contact Mr. Li, but there was no trace of him, as if he had evaporated from the world.
As for the relationship between Mr. Li and Taizu, I don't know, and I don't judge.After all, his lineage has lived in the dark underground for more than 1000 years.
I also don't know what Mr. Li is thinking, I can only say that I can't see through him, and I don't even know his name now.
Therefore, after a detailed analysis, the greatest possibility is that Mr. Li told us about this matter, let us be alert early, and it is best to lose both sides with the forbidden area.
Then he waits by the side, "
"Then why is he?" Chu Zheng asked.
"Maybe it's freedom, or maybe it's the chair I sat on." Li Xun smiled indifferently, "Of course, these are just random guesses. I don't know the facts, but it doesn't matter.
Because Mr. Li knows that even if we know this matter, we will only keep it in our hearts, and we will not go to the forbidden area to confront the truth.
Otherwise, it will only scare the snake away. After all, we don't know what will happen in the forbidden area and when it will be done. It will only be counterproductive to ask rashly. "
Chu Zheng fell silent again, and things changed a lot because of this jade talisman.Indeed, as Li Xun said, this is a blatant conspiracy.
Standing on the side of Tai'an City, there would be less room for choice, and fewer chips in hand.
Even if it is said that all the masters in Tai'an City go to the forbidden area to find the Taizu to fight for their lives, it is extremely unrealistic.
Even if it is to use the fact that the White Horse Temple also has the prestige of life and death to ask Master Jueming to take action, it is probably useless.
With so many years of careful planning by the other party, coupled with that bottomless and possibly first-rank strength, violence is the worst policy.Because they made the other party anxious, they carried out the so-called blood sacrifice on the spot. No one knew how to resolve this crisis.
What can be done is to backhand, and find the weak point of the opponent to counterattack when the opponent makes a move.
But it is easier said than done.
"Then His Majesty just said that he is ready, what kind of preparation do you dare to ask?" Chu Zheng asked aloud.
"Let the second-rank celestial beings in Tai'an City wait for the opportunity to attack. Although the effect may not be great, it is safe to be prepared. Master Jueming of Baima Temple also asked Master Kongru to contact.
It's just that there is no news yet.Of course, this is the worst policy, the last resort.
What I mean by preparation is the way of hedging. "
Speaking of this, Li Xun paused, looked back at the peaceful city of Tai'an, and then said, "If there is a blood sacrifice, then the forbidden area must be using the power of formations.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to cover such a large city of Tai'an at the same time, and what I have to do is to use the large formation to defend the city to fight.
The power and sophistication of the large city guard array must be known to Mr. Chu, and its core change point can be changed from defending array to killing array.If there are monks sitting in the key points of those formations.
Then this killing formation will be extremely powerful, and it can completely counteract the blood sacrifice formation.This is also deduced by the national teacher, the kind that can be determined. "
"What does Your Majesty mean?" Chu Zheng vaguely guessed something in his heart, and his voice trembled a little.
Li Xun continued, "Success in anything in the world is often accompanied by absolute sacrifice, and this matter is no exception. Now all the people in the entire Tai'an City are pulled onto a boat.
And to protect the integrity of these people, sacrifices are inevitable.If the guarding formation turns into a killing formation, those monks sitting at the key points will not die or be abolished afterwards.
Such a price is obvious.
Daqi has been precarious for thousands of years, and many forces have actually deviated from their original intentions, except for Dali Temple.
After so many years of inheritance, Dali Temple has become a popular practice, and its spirit is not possessed by any power in the world.Who would stand up for the people of Daqi in such a critical moment of life and death?
There is only one answer in my heart, and that is Dali Temple.And only this answer.
Therefore, there are only so many monks who can sit on the key points of the formation and can only be produced by Dali Temple. "
Speaking of this, Li Xun's expression was already full of apology, "I know, Mr. Chu, you treat all the people in Dali Temple, even an ordinary deacon, as if you were your own children.
So this matter is extremely cruel and unfair to you and Dali Temple.
But I really have no other way, the monk who can still maintain his faith, and the monk I dare to trust is only Dali Temple. "
Chu Zheng fell into a long silence. He lowered his eyebrows and did not answer anything.Li Xun also sat there quietly, waiting, waiting.
After a long time, when a ray of cold evening wind blew into the pavilion, Chu Zheng slowly raised his head to look at Li Xun, and asked in a hoarse voice,
"So, that's why His Majesty didn't tell Mr. Ke and Yu the real reason why they did this?"
"Well," Li Xun nodded lightly, "It's not that I can't trust them, on the contrary, I trust them very much. But I also know them well.
Ke Lao knew about this matter, and with his temperament, he would definitely not take the life of the deacon in the temple to make up for this matter.On the contrary, if you are extremely angry, you may go directly to the forbidden area regardless.
The jealous Ke Lao is likely to do some impulsive things.As for Yu Gan, I know that in his heart, Dali Temple is greater than everything else.
Therefore, there is a high probability that he will not risk the lives of the people in the temple.I can't guess his temperament, let alone what he will do at that time.
The rush of youth is not suited to this matter.
So, I only tell you about this, Mr. Chu.Because I know that Mr. Chu, your belief is the firmest, the overall situation is the clearest, and your mood is the most stable.
Of course, the final decision on this matter rests with you.I fully support the high degree of autonomy of Dali Temple at any time.
If you, Mr. Chu, disagree with this method, I will not say anything more. "
Speaking of which, Li Xun handed another piece of jade talisman to Chu Zheng, and said, "This is all the information that records the killing formation, as well as the deduction of all the consequences and coping methods of the blood sacrifice by the national teacher.
At present, cultivator town killing array is the best and least sacrificing method. "
Chu Zheng took the jade talisman and didn't look at it immediately, but remained silent.His face actually aged a lot in such a short period of time.
"After I ascended the throne, the only thing I did to offend Dali Temple was the matter of Nanyang Prince Zhu Chen." Li Xun said deeply apologetically.
"At that time, there were foreign aggressions, and the situation in the forbidden area was even more serious. If there were any troubles in Nanyang, and the accumulation of the three, Daqi would really be in a desperate situation.
Therefore, I thought that Zhu Chen shouldn't have died so early, and I was sorry for Gu Lao.For the sake of Daqi, I can only compromise, and I could only do that temporarily at that time.
I know that because of this matter, whether it is you, Yu Gan, or other people in Dali Temple, there are more or less complaints against me.
Now that you have to make such a difficult decision, Mr. Chu, I feel sorry for Dali Temple. "
After speaking, Li Xun stood up and bowed deeply to Chu Zheng.
Chu Zheng got up immediately, and said, "The mission of Dali Temple is like this, enjoying the best treatment, there is no reason not to pay.
The old minister knew it well.As for the matter of Nanyang Shizi, the veteran also figured it out later.If Gu Lao is alive, he must also agree with His Majesty's approach.
The life of an old man is more important than that of the country, and the veteran still knows it well.
Your Majesty is the son of heaven, so there is no need to apologize to the veteran. "
Li Xun sighed deeply, looking at the boundless night in the distance, "Actually, if I can practice cultivation, I would rather be a person who wanders in clouds and wild cranes.
Sitting on the throne for the past few years is really tiring. To the outside world, he is like Zhu Yu, jumping on my head so rampantly, trampling on me like nothing, yet I still have to compromise.
Internally, I still have to worry about the changes under the forbidden area.We also have to worry about the precarious domestic livelihood.There are many abuses in the court, and there are complaints from the people.
All of these things, I don't even know how to improve them one by one.But there is no way, when the first emperor put the throne in my hands, then I will be responsible for all of this.
But there are twists and turns in it, which can be said to be the same as others. "
Chu Zheng also looked at the night in the distance, and listened quietly to Li Xun's words of complaint that he had never heard from him.
At this time, Li Xun is more like an ordinary person who is troubled by life.
But Chu Zheng knew that such troubles were magnified by millions of times.
Glancing at Li Xun's already white temples, the years of chopping with knives and axes in such a short period of time are enough to see how exhausted Li Xun has been during this period of time.
Afterwards, Chu Zheng silently withdrew his gaze, put the jade talisman on his forehead, and began to check the core point of his Great Qi Protection Formation Turning Killing Formation.
Each bright spot marked above represents a place that needs monks to sit in town.
After reading it, Chu Zheng asked in a hoarse voice, "Your Majesty, can't the number of points be reduced any more?"
Li Xun shook his head regretfully, "This has already been minimized, and there is no way to reduce it."
Chu Zheng raised his head slightly, his cloudy eyes were a little red, and finally took a deep breath, "Your Majesty, who is the most critical point in the middle?"
"Secret." Li Xun looked into the distance and smiled softly, his smile was gentle like a warm sun.
Hearing Li Xun's answer, Chu Zheng was stunned for a moment, and finally put away the jade talisman, clasped his fists and said, "I understand. I don't know if His Majesty has other orders."
"No more." Li Xun shook his head.
"By the way, Your Majesty said before that the 72 small week formations under Tai'an City can basically be determined to be laid by the Taizu. Although this formation may have little connection with the blood sacrifice, the old minister thinks that Your Majesty should pay more attention to it." Two." Ke Zhenbang added.
"Understood, I will. I have been paying attention to this matter."
"The old minister will leave first."
"Go." Li Xun nodded lightly, then reached out and patted Chu Zheng's shoulder, "I'm sorry for you. I hope this blood sacrifice is a fake after all."
"Your Majesty didn't let anyone down, Tai'an, Da Qi is blessed to have a sage like His Majesty." Chu Zheng bowed deeply, "The old minister resigned."
After speaking, Chu Zheng turned and left.
The back that was tall and straight when he came came was a little stooped at this moment, looking at it, he felt a little heavy.
Li Xun watched Chu Zheng's leaving back peacefully with his eyes until he disappeared from sight.
Finally, he sat down at the table, put a piece of cold mutton into his mouth, poured himself a glass of warm wine, and drank it all in one gulp.
Tilting your head slightly, closing your eyes, you are remembering the sweetness and bitterness.
After a long time, he opened his eyes suddenly, and his eyes turned into a firm color. He tightened the coat at the collar, then got up and left, and disappeared into the night.
~~
On the other hand, when Yu Gan returned to Gongsunyan's small courtyard, he acted lightly. He was afraid of affecting Gongsunyan's rest, but he didn't expect her to be sitting in the courtyard.
"Auntie hasn't returned home so late?" Yu Gan asked aloud.
"Wait for you." Gongsun Yan said lightly.
Yu Gan was startled, then immediately stepped forward to sit down, and asked with a smile, "Did you miss me, Auntie?"
Just as Yu Gan finished saying this, his face suddenly changed, and then he looked at Gongsun Yan cautiously and said, "Auntie, it's really busy recently.
I really don't have any thoughts now, what about next time?How are you? "
Gongsun Yan immediately realized the meaning of Yu Gan's words, her hair was full of black lines, and at the same time she said it with a little embarrassment.
"What's on your mind! You think that's all I can think about when we're together?"
"That can't, that can't." Yu Gan smiled awkwardly, and then asked curiously, "Auntie, why are you waiting here for me?"
"Recently, I always feel strange, and the movements in the temple are even weirder. I always feel that something is wrong. Do you know something that I don't?" Gongsun Yan asked straight to the point.
"Indeed, Auntie, your guess is correct." Yu Gan nodded frankly and said, "But Auntie, this is a big matter, and I can't tell the public about it for the time being.
Now the only ones in the temple know about me, Mr. Chu and Mr. Ke, the others don’t know. If I say something, it’s not good, and it will have a great impact on you, auntie.
The impact is negative and I don't want to see it now. "
"I understand." Gongsun Yan didn't make things difficult for Yu Gan, but just nodded, "Why is this such a big deal?"
"Well, it's huge."
"Then be careful, don't rush forward foolishly. Don't pretend to be smart. Although you are indeed smart, sometimes it is not a good thing to be too smart.
Always, you must put your own safety first. "Gongsun Yan asked seriously.
"Okay, just follow my aunt's teachings, I understand." Yu Qian laughed heartily, "It's still auntie who cares about me."
"Slick tongue." Gongsun Yan gave Yu Gan a white look, then got up and prepared to enter the house.
But Yu Gan stopped the other party and asked, "Auntie, I feel that your strength has also reached the peak of the fourth rank, are you ready to enter the Tibetan realm?"
Gongsun Yan paused, and without hiding anything from Yu Gan, she nodded and said, "Well, we have hit a bottleneck, but I guess it will take some chance."
"Don't worry, the inheritance of Honglian Sanren makes it easy for you to enter Guizang, Auntie." Yu Gan said with a thumbs up, "Soon, I will witness the first third-rank female minister of Dali Temple."
"Then I will borrow your good words. If you are hungry, there are still noodles in the kitchen. I put a lot of sea cucumbers and oysters. You can eat more. You are young, and your health will be better." After Gongsun Yan said this , Then he turned his big butt and went back to the house.
Yu Gan's expression froze, with black lines all over his head.
He was somewhat angry in his heart, if he could force it seven or eight times in a row.Obviously you are too hungry and thirsty, so you must say that I am not in good health.
This is how the best kidney in the world can't stand such pressure!
While thinking angrily, Yu Gan walked into the kitchen to eat the loving dinner prepared by Gongsun Yan.
It's time to make up for it, even practitioners say that the kidney essence is deficient, and the body is well prepared. After all, I already have three wives just as a medium.
Don't be sloppy, don't be sloppy.
~~
The forbidden area under the imperial palace was still as calm as usual at this moment. Taizu, who was sitting cross-legged in the black mist, slowly opened his scarlet eyes and looked ahead, as if he was waiting for someone.
A moment later, his right hand sprayed a black mist into a jade platform in front of him, and this short-distance teleportation array was activated like this.
A middle-aged man in a purple robe slowly emerged from it, it was Mr. Li.
After being in a daze for a while, Mr. Li respectfully bowed to the Taizu Emperor immediately, "I have seen you, Your Majesty."
"Why are you late?" Taizu asked in a hoarse voice.
"Back to the king, many people have been staring at me during this time. I have not been in Tai'an City, and I have been hiding outside." Mr. Li said truthfully.
Taizu looked at Mr. Li with lowered eyebrows without any fluctuations in his eyes. After a while, he said lightly, "Li Xun has been out of the palace frequently recently. Do you know who you see?"
"Back to the king, since I met the king last time, I have not been in Tai'an City, and I dare not send someone to stare at Li Xun for fear of arousing suspicion, so I really don't know who he met." Mr. Li explained .
"Where do you think Li Xun's attitude towards us now?" Taizu continued to ask.
"Back to the king, I don't dare to speculate, but there is a high probability that Li Xun does not agree with the king's actions." Mr. Li replied.
"You mean that not only is Li Xun not on our side, but he's even obstructing us?"
"That's just my speculation."
"What about you?" Taizu continued indifferently, "Since I settled down here, I have never left this place for more than a thousand years. I don't know the situation on the surface. Everything is handled by your lineage. .
Right and wrong, Gu also listens to what you say alone, you didn't deceive Gu, right? "
(Excellent students of the 35th session of the starting point broken chapter class, the boat on the coast, stay.)
(End of this chapter)
Looking at the night in the distance, Li Xun asked softly, "Elder Ke told you about the forbidden area."
"Say it." Chu Zheng nodded frankly.
"What does Mr. Chu think?"
"Naturally, it is in accordance with His Majesty's will, and all actions are in line with His Majesty's plan." Chu Zheng assured.
"Beyond right and wrong, I believe in the judgment of Dali Temple more, so this is not appropriate. I should ask Dali Temple for more advice." Li Xun smiled lightly, and then continued to add.
"Some time ago, Mr. Ke and Yu Shaoqing came to the palace to look for me, and I explained the ins and outs of the matter to them. But I didn't explain some things thoroughly."
Chu Zheng seemed to have guessed that Li Xun would say this, but just sat there silently, waiting for the follow-up.
Li Xun took another piece of mutton and put it in his stomach, "What I told Mr. Ke and the others was that they were not fully prepared. This is true but it is not true."
"Please make it clear, Your Majesty."

Hearing these words, Chu Zheng's face changed slightly.
The news was too explosive and shocking for him.Such a frenzied conspiracy made Chu Zheng feel a sincere chill in his heart.
"How did Your Majesty know about this?" Chu Zheng asked puzzled.It stands to reason that this kind of thing must be the ultimate goal and secret of the Taizu, and it is impossible to leak it.

"I said I don't know, do you believe it?"
To be honest, Chu Zheng definitely didn't trust this matter in his heart, but Li Xun had already told himself about it, and there would be no point in keeping it a secret, so he was a little confused.

Chu Zheng took the jade talisman and put it on his forehead to check.

The ghost way kung fu practiced by that Taizu was originally a kind of ghost way kung fu. After so many years, he absorbed the spirits of forty great Qi emperors, and almost formed a parasitic relationship with the dragon veins.
Now that the dragon veins are withered, it has already constituted an essential impact on his life, and if he wants to make a breakthrough on the road, he must sacrifice the blood of thousands of creatures nourished by the dragon veins.
Re-activate the dragon veins, and then use this powerful and terrifying power to break free from the symbiotic shackles of the dragon veins and seek the possibility of breaking the avenue.
For that great ancestor, this was simply the perfect solution.

And to protect the integrity of these people, sacrifices are inevitable.If the guarding formation turns into a killing formation, those monks sitting at the key points will not die or be abolished afterwards.
Such a price is obvious.
Daqi has been precarious for thousands of years, and many forces have actually deviated from their original intentions, except for Dali Temple.
After so many years of inheritance, Dali Temple has become a popular practice, and its spirit is not possessed by any power in the world.Who would stand up for the people of Daqi in such a critical moment of life and death?
There is only one answer in my heart, and that is Dali Temple.And only this answer.
Therefore, there are only so many monks who can sit on the key points of the formation and can only be produced by Dali Temple. "
Speaking of this, Li Xun's expression was already full of apology, "I know, Mr. Chu, you treat all the people in Dali Temple, even an ordinary deacon, as if you were your own children.
So this matter is extremely cruel and unfair to you and Dali Temple.
But I really have no other way, the monk who can still maintain his faith, and the monk I dare to trust is only Dali Temple. "
Chu Zheng fell into a long silence. He lowered his eyebrows and did not answer anything.Li Xun also sat there quietly, waiting, waiting.
After a long time, when a ray of cold evening wind blew into the pavilion, Chu Zheng slowly raised his head to look at Li Xun, and asked in a hoarse voice,
"So, that's why His Majesty didn't tell Mr. Ke and Yu the real reason why they did this?"
"Well," Li Xun nodded lightly, "It's not that I can't trust them, on the contrary, I trust them very much. But I also know them well.
Ke Lao knew about this matter, and with his temperament, he would definitely not take the life of the deacon in the temple to make up for this matter.On the contrary, if you are extremely angry, you may go directly to the forbidden area regardless.
The jealous Ke Lao is likely to do some impulsive things.As for Yu Gan, I know that in his heart, Dali Temple is greater than everything else.
Therefore, there is a high probability that he will not risk the lives of the people in the temple.I can't guess his temperament, let alone what he will do at that time.
The rush of youth is not suited to this matter.
So, I only tell you about this, Mr. Chu.Because I know that Mr. Chu, your belief is the firmest, the overall situation is the clearest, and your mood is the most stable.
Of course, the final decision on this matter rests with you.I fully support the high degree of autonomy of Dali Temple at any time.
If you, Mr. Chu, disagree with this method, I will not say anything more. "
Speaking of which, Li Xun handed another piece of jade talisman to Chu Zheng, and said, "This is all the information that records the killing formation, as well as the deduction of all the consequences and coping methods of the blood sacrifice by the national teacher.
At present, cultivator town killing array is the best and least sacrificing method. "
Chu Zheng took the jade talisman and didn't look at it immediately, but remained silent.His face actually aged a lot in such a short period of time.
"After I ascended the throne, the only thing I did to offend Dali Temple was the matter of Nanyang Prince Zhu Chen." Li Xun said deeply apologetically.
"At that time, there were foreign aggressions, and the situation in the forbidden area was even more serious. If there were any troubles in Nanyang, and the accumulation of the three, Daqi would really be in a desperate situation.
Therefore, I thought that Zhu Chen shouldn't have died so early, and I was sorry for Gu Lao.For the sake of Daqi, I can only compromise, and I could only do that temporarily at that time.
I know that because of this matter, whether it is you, Yu Gan, or other people in Dali Temple, there are more or less complaints against me.
Now that you have to make such a difficult decision, Mr. Chu, I feel sorry for Dali Temple. "
After speaking, Li Xun stood up and bowed deeply to Chu Zheng.
Chu Zheng got up immediately, and said, "The mission of Dali Temple is like this, enjoying the best treatment, there is no reason not to pay.
The old minister knew it well.As for the matter of Nanyang Shizi, the veteran also figured it out later.If Gu Lao is alive, he must also agree with His Majesty's approach.
The life of an old man is more important than that of the country, and the veteran still knows it well.
Your Majesty is the son of heaven, so there is no need to apologize to the veteran. "
Li Xun sighed deeply, looking at the boundless night in the distance, "Actually, if I can practice cultivation, I would rather be a person who wanders in clouds and wild cranes.
Sitting on the throne for the past few years is really tiring. To the outside world, he is like Zhu Yu, jumping on my head so rampantly, trampling on me like nothing, yet I still have to compromise.
Internally, I still have to worry about the changes under the forbidden area.We also have to worry about the precarious domestic livelihood.There are many abuses in the court, and there are complaints from the people.
All of these things, I don't even know how to improve them one by one.But there is no way, when the first emperor put the throne in my hands, then I will be responsible for all of this.
But there are twists and turns in it, which can be said to be the same as others. "
Chu Zheng also looked at the night in the distance, and listened quietly to Li Xun's words of complaint that he had never heard from him.
At this time, Li Xun is more like an ordinary person who is troubled by life.
But Chu Zheng knew that such troubles were magnified by millions of times.
Glancing at Li Xun's already white temples, the years of chopping with knives and axes in such a short period of time are enough to see how exhausted Li Xun has been during this period of time.
Afterwards, Chu Zheng silently withdrew his gaze, put the jade talisman on his forehead, and began to check the core point of his Great Qi Protection Formation Turning Killing Formation.
Each bright spot marked above represents a place that needs monks to sit in town.
After reading it, Chu Zheng asked in a hoarse voice, "Your Majesty, can't the number of points be reduced any more?"
Li Xun shook his head regretfully, "This has already been minimized, and there is no way to reduce it."
Chu Zheng raised his head slightly, his cloudy eyes were a little red, and finally took a deep breath, "Your Majesty, who is the most critical point in the middle?"
"Secret." Li Xun looked into the distance and smiled softly, his smile was gentle like a warm sun.
Hearing Li Xun's answer, Chu Zheng was stunned for a moment, and finally put away the jade talisman, clasped his fists and said, "I understand. I don't know if His Majesty has other orders."
"No more." Li Xun shook his head.
"By the way, Your Majesty said before that the 72 small week formations under Tai'an City can basically be determined to be laid by the Taizu. Although this formation may have little connection with the blood sacrifice, the old minister thinks that Your Majesty should pay more attention to it." Two." Ke Zhenbang added.
"Understood, I will. I have been paying attention to this matter."
"The old minister will leave first."
"Go." Li Xun nodded lightly, then reached out and patted Chu Zheng's shoulder, "I'm sorry for you. I hope this blood sacrifice is a fake after all."
"Your Majesty didn't let anyone down, Tai'an, Da Qi is blessed to have a sage like His Majesty." Chu Zheng bowed deeply, "The old minister resigned."
After speaking, Chu Zheng turned and left.
The back that was tall and straight when he came came was a little stooped at this moment, looking at it, he felt a little heavy.
Li Xun watched Chu Zheng's leaving back peacefully with his eyes until he disappeared from sight.
Finally, he sat down at the table, put a piece of cold mutton into his mouth, poured himself a glass of warm wine, and drank it all in one gulp.
Tilting your head slightly, closing your eyes, you are remembering the sweetness and bitterness.
After a long time, he opened his eyes suddenly, and his eyes turned into a firm color. He tightened the coat at the collar, then got up and left, and disappeared into the night.
~~
On the other hand, when Yu Gan returned to Gongsunyan's small courtyard, he acted lightly. He was afraid of affecting Gongsunyan's rest, but he didn't expect her to be sitting in the courtyard.
"Auntie hasn't returned home so late?" Yu Gan asked aloud.
"Wait for you." Gongsun Yan said lightly.
Yu Gan was startled, then immediately stepped forward to sit down, and asked with a smile, "Did you miss me, Auntie?"
Just as Yu Gan finished saying this, his face suddenly changed, and then he looked at Gongsun Yan cautiously and said, "Auntie, it's really busy recently.
I really don't have any thoughts now, what about next time?How are you? "
Gongsun Yan immediately realized the meaning of Yu Gan's words, her hair was full of black lines, and at the same time she said it with a little embarrassment.
"What's on your mind! You think that's all I can think about when we're together?"
"That can't, that can't." Yu Gan smiled awkwardly, and then asked curiously, "Auntie, why are you waiting here for me?"
"Recently, I always feel strange, and the movements in the temple are even weirder. I always feel that something is wrong. Do you know something that I don't?" Gongsun Yan asked straight to the point.
"Indeed, Auntie, your guess is correct." Yu Gan nodded frankly and said, "But Auntie, this is a big matter, and I can't tell the public about it for the time being.
Now the only ones in the temple know about me, Mr. Chu and Mr. Ke, the others don’t know. If I say something, it’s not good, and it will have a great impact on you, auntie.
The impact is negative and I don't want to see it now. "
"I understand." Gongsun Yan didn't make things difficult for Yu Gan, but just nodded, "Why is this such a big deal?"
"Well, it's huge."
"Then be careful, don't rush forward foolishly. Don't pretend to be smart. Although you are indeed smart, sometimes it is not a good thing to be too smart.
Always, you must put your own safety first. "Gongsun Yan asked seriously.
"Okay, just follow my aunt's teachings, I understand." Yu Qian laughed heartily, "It's still auntie who cares about me."
"Slick tongue." Gongsun Yan gave Yu Gan a white look, then got up and prepared to enter the house.
But Yu Gan stopped the other party and asked, "Auntie, I feel that your strength has also reached the peak of the fourth rank, are you ready to enter the Tibetan realm?"
Gongsun Yan paused, and without hiding anything from Yu Gan, she nodded and said, "Well, we have hit a bottleneck, but I guess it will take some chance."
"Don't worry, the inheritance of Honglian Sanren makes it easy for you to enter Guizang, Auntie." Yu Gan said with a thumbs up, "Soon, I will witness the first third-rank female minister of Dali Temple."
"Then I will borrow your good words. If you are hungry, there are still noodles in the kitchen. I put a lot of sea cucumbers and oysters. You can eat more. You are young, and your health will be better." After Gongsun Yan said this , Then he turned his big butt and went back to the house.
Yu Gan's expression froze, with black lines all over his head.
He was somewhat angry in his heart, if he could force it seven or eight times in a row.Obviously you are too hungry and thirsty, so you must say that I am not in good health.
This is how the best kidney in the world can't stand such pressure!
While thinking angrily, Yu Gan walked into the kitchen to eat the loving dinner prepared by Gongsun Yan.
It's time to make up for it, even practitioners say that the kidney essence is deficient, and the body is well prepared. After all, I already have three wives just as a medium.
Don't be sloppy, don't be sloppy.
~~
The forbidden area under the imperial palace was still as calm as usual at this moment. Taizu, who was sitting cross-legged in the black mist, slowly opened his scarlet eyes and looked ahead, as if he was waiting for someone.
A moment later, his right hand sprayed a black mist into a jade platform in front of him, and this short-distance teleportation array was activated like this.
A middle-aged man in a purple robe slowly emerged from it, it was Mr. Li.
After being in a daze for a while, Mr. Li respectfully bowed to the Taizu Emperor immediately, "I have seen you, Your Majesty."
"Why are you late?" Taizu asked in a hoarse voice.
"Back to the king, many people have been staring at me during this time. I have not been in Tai'an City, and I have been hiding outside." Mr. Li said truthfully.
Taizu looked at Mr. Li with lowered eyebrows without any fluctuations in his eyes. After a while, he said lightly, "Li Xun has been out of the palace frequently recently. Do you know who you see?"
"Back to the king, since I met the king last time, I have not been in Tai'an City, and I dare not send someone to stare at Li Xun for fear of arousing suspicion, so I really don't know who he met." Mr. Li explained .
"Where do you think Li Xun's attitude towards us now?" Taizu continued to ask.
"Back to the king, I don't dare to speculate, but there is a high probability that Li Xun does not agree with the king's actions." Mr. Li replied.
"You mean that not only is Li Xun not on our side, but he's even obstructing us?"
"That's just my speculation."
"What about you?" Taizu continued indifferently, "Since I settled down here, I have never left this place for more than a thousand years. I don't know the situation on the surface. Everything is handled by your lineage. .
Right and wrong, Gu also listens to what you say alone, you didn't deceive Gu, right? "
