Book with Emperor

Chapter 138 Cotton Tree Temple

"..."

Qin Guanyue almost choked on the tea, "...Who told you?"

"Lei Yu."

Cen Wu played with the teacup and looked at her with great interest, "What do you mean by doing five hurdles and six things?"

"Footwork, Frost Cold Continent's swordsmanship must be fast enough to match bodywork, but no one in the world can disappear out of thin air. Either it is too fast, so fast that it leaves afterimages, or it is the illusion of light refraction."

"..."

Cen Wu looked at her with bitterness and hatred, "What are you talking about?"

Qin Guanyue was silent for a moment, and changed his words, "I judged Frost Hanzhou's next move based on his movement and movement trajectory, and predicted the direction and trend of his sword."

Cen Wu's face was expressionless, but a storm had already set off in her heart.

Qin Guanyue uttered a few simple words, and others couldn't hear them, but she could.She is a martial arts practitioner, and she deeply understands that the few words she speaks are the ultimate moves to defeat the enemy.

Anticipate.

The reason why a master is a master is that he knows others at a glance and can predict all the moves of the opponent.Everyone understands the truth, but it is too difficult to do it, let alone the sword god Frost Hanzhou.

"How did you know this? He told you?" Qin Guanyue asked, it remembered that Cen Wu was not there at the time.

Of course he deserves Yue Wentian, but Cen Wu shook his head, "Lei Yu said it, but this matter will soon spread in the world."

"What do you mean?"

"Have you heard of Zhanyu Pavilion?"

Qin Guanyue smiled, "I heard it a little bit."

"That is a gangster force that buys and sells things. They can buy and sell information, and they can also store things. They are in the rivers and lakes, and they often know things about the rivers and lakes faster than Qin Tianjian."

Cen Wu raised the corners of his mouth, with a treacherous smile in his eyes, "Sword God Frost Hanzhou was defeated by the unarmed Emperor Master. I think there will be many people interested in you."

Qin Guanyue was calm and unhurried, "I am well aware of my ability. If Shuanghanzhou hadn't been seriously injured that day, I would not be here today."

Cen Wu smiled and said nothing, lowered her head and played with the teacup.

After a long silence, Qin Guanyue spoke first, "How is your investigation going?"

"Fortunately."

"..."

Needless to say, this is defending yourself.

"The emperor personally went out to make friends with He Lin, isn't he doubting my ability?"

"No, it's just that he has stayed in the capital for a long time, the sooner he leaves, the better."

Cen Wu was slightly startled, "That's all?"

Qin Guanyue raised her eyes, "Otherwise?"

The two looked at each other for a long time, Cen Wu's gaze was like a sharp blade stained with blood, but Qin Guanyue never flinched.

"I'm very confused... what do you like about the young master?"

"..."

Qin Guanyue almost choked again, "Can't we have other relationships? We are friends of life and death."

Cen Wu snorted, "Are you singing an opera, Mr. Emperor? You are a life-and-death acquaintance, what is his identity, what is your identity, why make things difficult for yourself?"

"Anyway, I won't hurt him."

"He Mian has been very cautious recently and hasn't gone out. He Lin doesn't seem to know about it. It's not easy for me to ask questions, and it will easily attract suspicion."

Cen Wu knocked on the table and looked at her carelessly, as if she believed her, "But, I always feel that she knows something, and her attitude towards He Mian is also a bit strange, you can take this opportunity to set her up."

"Has she met your young master?"

"No, but she and the second son... the young master's second brother have met a few times."

"Where is Princess Qing?"

"I've seen it. The princess felt guilty back then. When she went to the Duke's mansion, she hugged her."

"..."

Qin Guanyue remembered He Lin's hesitant appearance just now.Thoughtful.

She pondered, Cen Wu was also silent, Qin Guanyue looked up at her after a while, "What are you looking at me for?"

Cen Wu shook her head, didn't answer, then got up and stood behind her with a serious expression.

Qin Guanyue glanced back at the door, and the sound of footsteps came slowly, it was indeed He Lin who came back with Qiao'er, and an old monk in monk's clothes came back with them.

"This is the abbot of Hongmian Temple, Wumiao."

He Lin introduced the identity of the old monk, but cleverly did not mention Qin Guanyue's identity, probably because she didn't know whether Qin Guanyue was willing to reveal her identity.

The old monk Miao Miao was much younger than Zhong Jijiu, but he had passed the age of knowing his destiny, and his gray beard became a broom.

Qin Guanyue was an unswerving materialist in her past and present lives. Even after time-traveling, she has never leaned on idealism, so she has little contact with things like Buddhism and Taoism.

Of course, she doesn't believe it or not, but she also respects other people's beliefs, so she respectfully nodded to the host.

"Guanyue met the host."

"Watching the moon..."

The old abbot smiled kindly, and looked at her softly, "It turns out that the emperor and master are here, and the poor monk is far away to welcome him."

Qin Guanyue smiled, didn't answer, and turned to look at He Lin, "Is it okay?"

"Ah."

He Lin nodded and said with a smile on her face, "The host is an eminent monk. I have been here with my mother to listen to the Buddha since I was a child, and I have benefited a lot, so I also want to meet you. If you are confused, you can tell him explain."

He Lin said it politely, but it is obvious that the host is difficult for ordinary people to see, and Qin Guanyue is not easy to please her.

But she really wasn't in the mood to drink some chicken soup for the soul, so she just said perfunctorily, "I don't dare to bother the host with worldly matters.

Qin Guanyue was about to leave when she suddenly heard a smiling woman's voice from afar. She looked up and saw that the prince's side concubine Liu Shi was leading the maids.

He Lin quietly took her arm and said in a low voice, "That's the prince's side concubine, let's go quickly."

"Why?"

"You don't know that the relationship between the crown prince and the princess was destroyed by her. The whole capital knows that the crown prince dotes on his concubine and kills his wife. It's very unseemly."

Qin Guanyue took a look at her sober appearance, and couldn't help but sigh, no matter what era or family background, women's ability to gossip is a talent.

However, it was too late, because Mrs. Liu directly called out to them, "I have met the emperor, Miss He."

He Lin couldn't leave anymore, so she returned a salute and said politely, "Side Concubine Liu."

Qin Guanyue also nodded slightly, and looked at Liu Wuxin, "Liu side concubine also came to worship Buddha?"

Liu Wuxin nodded and said with a smile, "Your Highness hasn't been sleeping well recently, so I came here to ask for a peace talisman. Are you two going back?"

He Lin nodded hurriedly.

Liu Wuxin looked at Qin Guanyue, "The emperor is new, and Wuxin is here to congratulate her."

Even if Liu Wuxin favored the crown prince, she was still an unworthy side concubine, so she couldn't go to such occasions as congratulations from the Imperial Master's Mansion.

"Concubine Liu Wu has a heart, His Royal Highness has already sent someone to send a congratulatory gift."

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is busy with affairs these days, so he can't come to the door in person. I hope the Emperor Master will not be offended."

He Lin frowned, but didn't speak.

Qin Guanyue's eyes moved slightly, and she asked, "The prince is just recovering from a serious illness, so you should pay more attention to rest."

"The emperor doesn't know that the rebels at the Son of Heaven's Sacrifice have lurked in the capital for many years, leaving behind a lot of evil, especially the wife and children left behind by the former Prince of Liang are still my Daxi's people..."

Liu Wuxin sighed softly, showing pity in his eyes, "The scholar from Nanlu Academy even pleaded for him. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince really couldn't bear it, but he couldn't disobey the holy order, so he has had trouble sleeping and eating recently."

Qin Guanyue's heart moved, and she raised her eyes to look at Liu Wuxin, who smiled at her and didn't say any more.
