Yu Zhenzi, who finally regained some face, put away the holy seal and asked Wen Deju happily:
“Now do you know who Pindao is??”

Wen Deju quickly apologized and said with a smile: "I am blind and did not recognize that the Taoist Master is the Palm Seal Celestial Master. I have offended you so much. Please forgive me!!"

Yuzhenzi glanced at the other party contemptuously and asked loudly:

"Pindao heard that Master Wen is investigating the Taoist temple murder case. After so many days, has the real murderer been found?"

Wen Deju smiled awkwardly: "Master Huitian, your Majesty has sent an inspection envoy down. I believe that within a few days, the murderer will be found and the Tiandao Sect will be given an explanation."

"No need to check!" Yu Zhenzi interrupted Wen Deju, pointed at Li Lingyue behind him, and said firmly:
"Pindao suspects that the murderer is related to the secret guard around the princess. Since Mr. Wen is here, please take the princess back to the government office for interrogation!"

Li Lingyue raised her eyebrows and couldn't help thinking: It seems that her slap made this old witch completely lose her mind. Now she doesn't even bother to pretend. In order to deal with herself, she will not hesitate to make the Tiandao Sect and the royal family an enemy!

"Tianshi, you must not do it. I will guarantee with my life that the princess has absolutely nothing to do with the Taoist murder case. Furthermore, the princess is a rich man with a noble status. Without His Majesty's decree, how dare I take the princess back to the government office and ask the Tianshi to Think twice!”

Wen Deju kept his word, but he had already greeted Yu Zhenzi thousands of times in his heart. If he wasn't afraid of the holy seal in the opponent's hand, he would have wanted to kill this crazy woman right now.

As a veteran in the officialdom, he knew better than anyone that if he offended the Heavenly Master, he would at most be reprimanded by His Majesty; if not, his salary would be reduced and his official rank would be demoted.

But if he offends the princess, he will offend his immediate superior, the Queen. Don't even think about dismissing him from office. If only one member of his family survives, it will be regarded as the blessing of his ancestors.

As for tracking down the so-called real culprit, that in itself is a joke!Because he himself is one of the indirect participants.

With a "Pfft" sound, Li Lingyue couldn't help laughing. With her hands behind her back, she came to Wen Deju's side arrogantly, reached out and patted the old man's shoulder, and said comfortingly:

"Don't worry, the governor. She is just a Palm Seal Heavenly Master and has no right to give orders to you. However, I am the princess. Now I want to sue the Tiandao Sect Yuzhenzi for being sinister and vicious, with the intention of murdering the royal family's children. Please the governor capture this thief quickly and escort him to Chang'an. Awaiting trial!”

Wen Deju, who was blocked at both ends, couldn't say a word in aggrieved words, so he could only bow to Li Lingyue with a wry smile.

Yu Zhenzi saw that Wen Deju had no hope, and immediately snorted coldly:
"Lord Wen, please understand that the princess is already a member of my Taoist sect and is no longer a royal princess. Today, I have to clean up my sect. Please do not interfere in the internal affairs of my Taoist sect!"

After speaking, the floating dust in his hand pointed at Li Lingyue, and ordered to the disciples behind him:

"Disciples of Wuzong obey the order and take down the murderer behind the murder of our sect!"

"Shh! Shh! Shh!"

All the Tiandao Sect disciples drew their swords again and set up their sword formations to capture Li Lingyue.

Shi Qingfeng, despite his internal injuries, had just taken a step when Yu Zhenzi's threatening voice came:
"If you dare to protect her again, you will no longer be a disciple of Tiandao Sect from now on!!"

This warning made Shi Qingfeng hesitate. He grew up in Tiandaomen, and the Taoist temple was his home. Now for a princess, would he abandon this home?Obviously, he couldn't bear it!

"Master Tian, ​​stop it quickly! If there is something wrong with the princess, it will be difficult for you and me to explain it to Your Majesty!" Wen Deju persuaded in an almost roaring tone.

"Pindao cleans up the house, no outside intervention is needed, just let me take it down!"

"Okay, okay! Then don't blame me for being rude!" Wen De showed his benevolence and immediately ordered the officers and soldiers on guard: "Protect the safety of the princess. Anyone who dares to get close to the princess will be shot to death!"

"Hoohoo!"

The officers and soldiers stood in front of Li Lingyue, forming an impenetrable barrier.

Seeing that the situation was getting out of control again, a man's rough curse suddenly came from outside the Taoist temple gate: "What the hell! Who is it! Whoever wants to bully the princess, get out of here!"

The voice was very familiar, and Li Lingyue subconsciously turned her gaze to the direction of the door. She saw He Shan, dressed as a military general, rushing in from the outside with a sharp machete.

Behind him, there were several captains!

"General He, we are here!" Gong'er saw an acquaintance and hurriedly waved to He Shan!

Li Lingyue asked Gong'er in surprise: "Girl, don't tell me that He Shan was also the reinforcement you invited!"

Gong'er shook her head: "No! When I went to the Governor's Mansion, I didn't meet General He, and I don't know why he came here!"

Li Lingyue murmured to herself: "That's good, I'll just say that your brain is not enlightened to this extent!"

While the master and servant were talking, Wen Deju had already taken the lead to greet him and quickly explained the matter to He Shan.

He Shan first came to Li Lingyue, bowed and clasped his fists: "Princess! I'm late for my humble duty!"

A simple greeting, without any politeness, felt very cordial in Li Lingyue's heart:

"Why don't you come here to join in the fun if you don't stay in Zhechong Mansion?"

He Shan smiled apologetically and said, "Bizhi originally went to the Governor's Mansion to find Master Wen. I heard from my disciples that he brought officers and soldiers to the Taoist temple to protect the princess. I was worried about the princess's safety, so I came to take a look!"

Li Lingyue waved her hands in disgust: "Okay, now that everyone has finished reading, go back and stop causing trouble for me here!"

Although He Shan is a rough old man, he is not stupid either. Li Lingyue's eagerness to drive him away is not the so-called 'causing chaos', but rather does not want him to get involved and ultimately affect his career.

After all, he now has a very special status. He is both the inspector appointed by Li Zhi and the captain of the Zhechong Mansion. If he gets too close to the princess, he will inevitably be impeached by the ministers.

He Shan chuckled, took out a broad bean from the bag on his waist and threw it into his mouth. After thinking about it, he took out another handful and threw it to Gong'er.

"Miss Gong'er, you peel broad beans for the princess to eat, and I'll go meet them!"

After saying that, without waiting for Li Lingyue to call him, he chewed broad beans, carried a big knife, put his arm around Wen Deju's shoulders, and dragged the old man to Yu Zhenzi's side.

With a sound of "Bah!", He Shan rudely spit out the broad bean shell in front of all the disciples, swung the sword, pointed it at the disciples holding the sword, and cursed loudly:
"Are you bastards bullying my princess? I count to three and put down your weapons, otherwise, I will kill you without mercy!"

As soon as I finished speaking, I felt lucky, and the countdown officially began:
"one!"

Yu Zhenzi was furious. He didn't expect that a small captain would dare to be so arrogant, so he sneered unceremoniously:
"Who do you think you are? Don't count to three, just count to a hundred. What can you do?"

He Shan seemed not to hear, and kept counting to himself.

"two!!"

Wen Deju, who was standing behind him, felt something bad for a moment. He Shan's behavior didn't look like he was joking. He panicked and hurriedly spoke to persuade:
"Master He, please don't act recklessly. The other party is the Tiandao Sect! You and I cannot afford to offend someone with an official position like yours!"

"three!"

He Shan's voice was like a life-threatening charm. The moment the word 'three' blurted out, everyone's backs tightened...
