Xuanmen Xiaoguo Shi is divination again

Chapter 891 Dust
"Brother guard, where are we going now?"

In the secret road of the imperial city, Yuan Lingzhi looked at the exquisite patterns carved on both sides of the stone wall with great interest. The air underground was humid and heavy, and every mouthful had a faint musty smell.

She smelled the "novelty" smell that she had never noticed before, and asked casually: "When was this secret passage built? I have never seen it before."

"Returning to Your Majesty, this secret road was built by Gao Zu when he was alive, and it can reach as far as the Forbidden Army camp on the outskirts of Beijing." The secret passage in the Forbidden Army camp can lead directly to the inner court, if something is wrong, I ordered someone to seal the exit with a stone slab."

"The road we are taking now leads to the vicinity of the Second North Gate of Shangjing - the small gate at that place is locked all year round, and there are usually no important sentry points. This time is certainly not the primary target of the rebels' attack."

"Your Majesty, Your Highness has already made arrangements before going out this morning. When we get out of the secret road, we will get in the car and run to the Xitai Temple in the suburbs of Beijing. When we arrive at the temple, we will meet Mr. Shi and set off together Bei Province - Marquis Jia Wen has already prepared the ceremony in Suyuan, and is ready to welcome the holy driver at any time."

"Mr. Teacher, which Mr. Teacher?" Yuan Lingzhi couldn't help being startled when she heard the words, when she heard the word "Mr. People have mentioned this "Mr. Teacher".

"It's Mr. Shi Xiuqi from Xitaiguan." The guard responded patiently, following the map Yuan Lingwei gave them earlier in the morning, leading Yuan Lingzhi around the secret road, "Your Majesty, you ascend the throne It's been a short time, maybe I haven't seen him yet, but Mr. Shi is an old immortal whom we have helped leave the royal family and enshrined for a long time."

"He should be more than 100 years old this year, but he looks like he's just passing by and is not confused. He has always been able to pinch and count and has great powers-this time it was his old man who said, Your Majesty, you and Your Highness Xu are Encountered difficulties near Biluo Palace, the slave waited until he remembered to look for it in that remote corner."

"So...then he really has some skills." Yuan Lingzhi shook her thin eyebrows thoughtfully, and a dark light flashed quietly in her eyes.

She originally thought that all those in this world who wanted to meddle in government affairs would be wiped out by her in a single day, but she didn't expect that there would be a fish that slipped through the net.

It's just that I don't know how much that "Mr. Teacher" has on hand.

The girl narrowed her eyebrows and eyelids, and lowered her eyelashes to hide the darkness in her pupils. The guard who had never looked back at her from the beginning didn't know about it. He just scratched at the map and carefully searched for the way out of the secret road. : "That's natural. To be able to be enshrined by the emperors for so long, of course, has real skills..."

"Ah, Your Majesty, we are here. Be careful. This secret passage has not been used for a long time, and the entrance and exit are dusty." The guard said, then turned around and helped Yuan Lingzhi out of the tunnel carefully, and led her He quickly touched the carriage that had been prepared for a long time in the nearby forest.

At that time, the battle outside Beijing was in full swing, and even in this cramped and remote North Second Gate, everyone could still hear the sound of war drums coming from afar.

Before boarding the carriage, Yuan Lingzhi looked at Shangjing with complicated eyes, and only after confirming that she really couldn't see the person she wanted to see today, did she reluctantly board the carriage under the urging of her attendants.

The carriage traveled quickly through the forest, and arrived at the small Taoist temple in the forest not long after.

The guard acting as a groom got out of the car first, thanked the gray-robed Taoist who was watching outside, and said with a sigh of regret: "Mr. Your Majesty and Your Highness found in the Buddhist hall."

"It's just a pity... Even with your instructions, it's still too late for me to go. Your Highness has already... Hey." The guard bowed his head and sighed after finishing speaking.

"However, no matter what, Your Majesty was brought out safe and sound by you, didn't you?" Shi Xiuqi smiled and flicked his sleeves when he heard this. Probably the so-called 'fate'."

"That's true." The guard nodded, and subconsciously glanced back at the carriage when speaking, "No matter what, His Majesty was rescued, and we have never let down the mission His Highness left us."

"It's just that, Mr. Shi, I still need to rush back to Shangjing to collect the body of the eldest princess and arrange the funeral. In the next few days, Your Majesty and these little maids will have to trouble you to take care of me." The guard said. Clasping his hands, he saluted the Taoist respectfully while talking.

Seeing this, the latter closed his jaw slightly: "Don't worry, feed on the king's salary and share the king's worries. It's only natural for Master to escort His Majesty now that he has received the Tian family's salary for so many years—"

"In this way, the villain will feel at ease." The guard nodded, said goodbye to Shi Xiuqi, took the horse from his companion, got on the horse and left.

After seeing off the attendants, Shi Xiuqi walked slowly to the side of the car, bowed and asked Yuan Lingzhi if he could continue on his way, and after that, the latter had to show his head to face the Taoist and salute to thank him, but there was a hint of indifference in his words unwilling.

"I haven't thanked sir for saving my life yet." Yuan Lingzhi, who opened the curtain of the car, lowered her eyes, curled her lips and pulled a stiff smirk, "If you want to hurry, you can always - I don't have any problems here. .”

Teacher Xiu Qi heard the sound, and the smile on his face couldn't help but became more meaningful: "Oh? Your Majesty wants to thank the poor, is it really this 'life-saving grace'?"

"Otherwise? What did Mr. Shi think it would be?" Yuan Lingzhi said, but the five fingers that were still tucked into the sleeves were uncontrollably clenched into fists.

She saw the Taoist who couldn't see the age on the opposite face lowered his eyebrows and smiled slightly, and then turned his eyes noncommittally: "It is what His Majesty said."

"—Departure."

——This Taoist is really dangerous.

The carriage that was temporarily parked outside the temple set foot on the road again, and it was only when the curtain of the carriage was completely lowered that Yuan Lingzhi stroked her chest and let out a little breath.

This so-called "Mr. Master" is obviously more powerful than she imagined. She thought he was just a monk with profound knowledge and practice, but she didn't expect him to be so terrifying.

The way he looked at her just now...

Thinking of this, Yuan Lingzhi shuddered uncontrollably—when he looked at her, it was as if he was looking at an ant that could be crushed to death by him, or a grain that was worse than an ant. dust.

She was sure that his glance was clearly looking at her, but in his eyes, she really couldn't find half of her clothes.

—He never cared about her at all.

This kind of knowledge made her excited and terrified, and the madness hidden in her bones made her eager to try, but she was also worried that she would not be able to kill Shi Xiuqi with one blow like she killed her imperial sister.

——No, no matter how you think about it, such an opponent is too difficult for her now.

She has to find someone to help her.

Yuan Lingzhi, who clenched her clothes tightly, bit her lips slowly, suddenly she had an idea in her mind.

　I really have a heart attack writing them.

　　I didn't want to finish writing it at first, but I wanted to get up and write it tomorrow, so I finished it as I wrote it.

　　Forget it, it's over when it's over, I'm so calm and calm after this period.

　　He meows.

　　good night good night happy new year
