Reckless

  Chapter 75 when it rains, it pours   The fire in Riverfacing Lane has been extinguished, but this fire The aftermath did not stop there.

When Zuo Lingquan settled in Tang Jingxun, Perching Phoenix Valley, thirty miles away, also received news of the Beijing Normal University fire.

This news, for the current Perching Phoenix Valley, is tantamount to adding fuel to the fire, because Perching Phoenix Valley’s responsibility is to pay attention to these abnormal events. Once the scope is too large, the Imperial Teacher It doesn't work if you don't show up.

After Wu Qingwan heard the news, he thought about countermeasures in secret, but had not yet come up with an explanation. The imperial order summoned by the Imperial Court was delivered as expected.

The few masters in charge of the house were too late to bid farewell to the dísciple who had left the customs. They hurried to the capital. As one of the masters, Wu Qingwan was unable to show up and the Master naturally followed behind.

When I came to imperial city Ouchi, the sky was already bright.

Wu Qingwan wore a black skirt of sect standard and walked behind the three Senior Brothers. Before reaching the Zhengyuan Hall, he heard the voice of Prime Minister Li Jingsi from above the court:    " In the early summer of Tianbao’s fourteenth year, Riverfacing Lane ignited an unprovoked fire, burning more than 800 houses and killing more than 2,000 people. The cause of the fire has not yet been found... Appears at the same time, spreading to the entire Riverfacing Lane and its surroundings; and some people have seen the flames in the lampstands and stoves, which stretched for several feet for no reason..."

Wu Qingwan stopped outside the great hall, and After the Senior Brother glanced at each other, he could only quietly wait for the call. The sound of discussions in the great hall continued to be heard:

"As the saying goes,'Raise soldiers for a thousand days, use soldiers for a while'; Perching Phoenix Valley is enshrined by the incense of the people, and should have fulfilled the responsibility of sheltering the people. In the past, ominous beasts were rampant, but after all, the impact was not significant; now that there is such a big fire, if Perching Phoenix Valley still does nothing, this small official dare to ask, what is the use of my Great Dan Dynasty to support thousands of cultivators in it?"

"Yes. Raise a bunch of unconventional Taoist monks, who know how to show up in weddings and funerals and reciting scriptures; the fire on Riverfacing Lane has killed and injured thousands of people at every turn. Even if Perching Phoenix Valley can't solve it, It’s not so good to show up and do rituals in the city."

"Yes, now the people of Riverfacing Lane have homes and can’t go back. They all sleep on the streets..."

……

These words are in my ears, Wu Qingwan only feels uneasy, but has no other choice - she is the highest Imperial Teacher in the Perching Phoenix Valley cultivation base, and she is only 6 Layers in Linggu. Manipulating Heaven and Earth, there is no ability to open the altar. You must know that the Divine Soul technique is the real Divine Immortal of Jade Step Realm.

After suffering for a long time, Jiang Yi’s voice finally came from the great hall:

"Xuanyue Heng enters the hall."

Yue Heng standing in front, Seeing this, he quickly got dressed and entered the great hall.

Wu Qingwan also followed into the great hall, but did not come forward, just stood behind and watched.

Li Jingsi, the prime minister, stood at the forefront. After seeing them, he opened the mouth and said:

"Old Yue, this is the important place of the court. The prime minister is discussing political affairs with the sage, only you I’m afraid it’s inappropriate to come here. Where is the Imperial Teacher?"

Yue Heng and Xu responded: "My teacher is in retreat and has not been summoned. As a discipline student, I really dare not bother. I will check the Riverfacing Lane issue. The reason is..."

"Imperial Teacher, it’s been two years since I showed up, are you sure it’s just a retreat?"

"The cultivation base profound, in the realm of the mentor, I don’t eat grains anymore. It’s a common thing to stay in retreat for two or three years..."

"I don’t understand the human affairs of cultivation. But don’t forget the duty of Perching Phoenix Valley. Imperial Court every year. Taxes are collected from the common people, and they cover the cost of eating and wearing Perching Phoenix Valley dísciple. I have never asked Perching Phoenix Valley for more than half of it. Every year, I do business with Great Yan, even if the price of Great Yan merchants sits on the floor, I still pay on time and give it to Perching Phoenix Valley. Go for one thousand white jade coins; Mr. Yue knows that in exchange for one thousand white jade coins, how long will it last for the people of a city? How many years will it take for spring planting and autumn harvesting to earn that little money?"

This question is too harsh. Wu Qingwan couldn’t listen to it, owing a bow, and stepped forward:    "Perching Phoenix Valley, the people worshipped, and never forgot the duty. Every day, dísciple patrols and expels demonics are arranged. Beast, practice medicine and benevolence are not among the few..."

Li Jingsi looked towards Wu Qingwan in a blink of an eye: "What Wu Immortal Elder said can be done by anyone in a cultivation. Divine Help Mountain, Qingchi Jianzhuang, Even the alchemists of the rivers and lakes in the city can perform these duties. Why does the Imperial Court only give you all the money to Perching Phoenix Valley?"

Wu Qingwan was dumb.

Li Jingsi looked at the palms of Perching Phoenix Valley, and said solemnly:

"Imperial Court spares no effort to enshrine Perching Phoenix Valley, hoping that Perching Phoenix Valley can be in crisis , To protect the peace of the people, instead of using the power of the whole country to support you and others to build their own longevity avenue. Ominous beast has been repeatedly banned, and it can be said that it has not affected the Imperial Teacher Lane. But now the Riverfacing fire has swept through thousands of houses, If it weren’t for the beauty of God, I’m afraid that hundreds of people would be killed or injured...

...At this time, the Imperial Teacher is still in retreat, repairing his own longevity road; when should the Imperial Teacher leave? Great Yan Dynasty When sending soldiers to fight? As seen by the old officials, if Great Yan sends soldiers to fight, I am afraid that Imperial Teacher will not be able to stop them. The people use so much hard-earned money to support Imperial Teacher cultivation. What is the picture?"

This remark is very heavy, Wu Qingwan clasps his hands tightly, but has nothing to say.

Jiang Yi, sitting behind the bead curtain, has been watching. At this time, he opened the mouth and said:

"Li Xiang. People in the cultivation retreat, if not for life and death, indeed Inconvenient to disturb. The Imperial Teacher has been in Great Dan for nearly a hundred years and has made many contributions, and all the qings who are present will know it well; the first emperor also designated the Imperial Teacher as the new emperor teacher and the emperor’s trustworthy minister. Li Xiang this remark, said It's too heavy."

The reason why Jiang Yi was able to take the position and become the Regent Princess was largely due to the support of Yue Pingyang.

The reason why Li Jingsi secretly planned to discover the reality of the Imperial Teacher is also because Li Jingsi’s seniority cannot hold back the Imperial Teacher Yue Pingyang, who has lived two more than one son. As long as the Imperial Teacher is there, It is difficult to take the new monarch to power alone.

On this occasion today, Li Jingsi is on the side of'great righteousness', with a natural righteous word:

"Her Highness the Princess. The Imperial Teacher's hard work has made great achievements, and no one in Manchuria, civil and martial arts, does not admire it in their hearts." , But courtiers also have the age of "returning home". The Imperial Teacher has not shown up for two years, and the capital is chaotic again. Regardless of whether the Imperial Teacher is in retreat or other things, since it is difficult to perform his duties, he should abandon his position and let the virtuous and hand over the duties. Those who can handle things......

......Imperial Court will not treat those who have contributed to meritorious services. In the future, the rewards will remain the same, and the Imperial Teacher will be able to develop a leisurely and quiet cultivation. The Imperial Teacher has not shown up for a long time now, and can't Sit and watch the chaos in the capital, Her Highness the Princess can see, and I can’t just wait for the ministers to sit back. I also ask Her Highness the Princess to think twice." Li Jingsi agrees with what he said. After all, the matter is in front of us and we have to find a way to deal with it.

Actually, in Wu Qingwan's mind, everyone thinks this statement is okay, but after all, she is the palm of the Perching Phoenix Valley. She is carrying the inheritance of the family business for two hundred years. How can she be willing to give Perching Phoenix Valley to her hands? people.

Jiang Yi fell silent and opened the mouth and said:

"Imperial Teacher has been in Great Dan for nearly a hundred years. It is not appropriate to replace the Imperial Teacher without notification."

>

Li Jingsi nodded: "It is indeed inappropriate to replace without notice; but the Imperial Teacher has not been out of the customs, the ministers and others have not seen it, and it is impossible to let the Manchu civil and military or even the sages, it is not clear here. I waited in vain. I hope Her Highness the Princess can give an order to let the Imperial Teacher come to the hall to explain, whether to change or to stay, I have to say clearly in person."

Jiang Yi looked at Wu Qingwan and considered it. For a long time, I still said:

"Imperial Teacher is still in retreat. Yesterday's fire did not cause serious problems. Forcibly summoning will make the Imperial Teacher chill. Yue Heng, you go back to Perching Phoenix Valley and find a way to reconcile. The Imperial Teacher gave an announcement and asked the Imperial Teacher to go to the hall for a comment."

Yue Heng quickly bowed his head: "Caomin obeys his orders."

Li Jingsi sees Jiang Yi forcibly guaranteeing Perching. Phoenix Valley, I didn’t object, opened the mouth and said:

"Since Princess opened her mouth, it is inconvenient for the ministers to say more. However, I still have to warn Mr. Yue about the person in the cultivation, Imperial Court has always been uncomfortable; the post of Imperial Teacher should be held by someone who should be cultivation profound. If Yue Imperial Teacher is delayed to preside over the overall situation, other people want to recommend themselves to Perching Phoenix Valley, Imperial Court will not favor anyone, but Yue I have a number in my old heart."

Wu Qingwan hearing this pale, she understands the meaning of these words-if Cheng Jiujiang wants to be an Imperial Teacher and enter the Perching Phoenix Valley, the court will not care. Everything take responsibility for the consequences.

This statement is equivalent to directly supporting Cheng Jiujiang in taking the position of Imperial Teacher. If it is passed into Cheng Jiujiang’s ears, I’m afraid it will bring people in soon.

There are only a few old, weak, sick and disabled in Perching Phoenix Valley at present. It is impossible to deal with Cheng Jiujiang, who is just about to be beaten. If the Imperial Court sits idly by and does not mediate, it is possible to kill a few of them.

Eldest Uncle-Master Yue Heng also understands the meaning, but with his ancestors, he can only make a confident appearance at this time, and he bows his hands:    "I Perching Phoenix Valley understands the rules, If you can't even guard your family business, you don't deserve to sit in your current position."

Seeing this, Li Jingsi hummed softly and stopped talking.

Wu Qingwan and a few Senior Brothers bowed and retired, feeling restless, and they didn't know how they got out of Zhengyuan Hall, and they kept thinking about the way to deal with it.

In Perching Phoenix Valley, the third uncle has led the team to the Shock Dew Platform. Currently, the remaining battle strength in Perching Phoenix Valley is Eldest Uncle-Master and the second uncle is the cultivator of Spirit Valley Realm. , The rest are all refining qi, and the fourth uncle Zheng Yufeng has already become a waste, even worse than refining qi.

There is no chance of winning against Cheng Jiujiang of the 4th layer of Linggu with only two cultivators of Linggu a 2nd layer.

As for the deacon of Qi Refinement Realm, even true energy leaving the body is reluctant. It can’t touch Cheng Jiujiang’s clothes when it hits. There are no more people; even more how they don’t need to stick to the sect — —For most of the dísciples in Perching Phoenix Valley, this is just a change of Sect Master. Only a few palms and direct disciple are affected. Others have their own duties, and they will do what they did before.

Zuo Lingquan value emotion, value friendship will not stand idly by, but even if the battle strength of the 12th layer cultivation base is added, it is an utterly inadequate measure, because Cheng Jiujiang does not come alone.

If Lingquan can be the same as last time, just jump directly to Linggu 8th layer...

This idea is obviously unrealistic, but even if it is stronger , The odds of winning will be even bigger...

There are ways to become stronger, but this smelly brat doesn't get rid of it, is it possible that she really has to take the initiative?

Wu Qingwan's eyes are tangled and unspeakable, his hands kept on his sleeves, rubbing the jade slip, and his mind does not know where it has drifted...
