Chapter 314: The Knife and the Knot (Part 2)
Late at night, Lu Feng directly used ground skills to enter the house of the old eunuch Lu. Old eunuch Lu, who had the habit of going to bed early, was grabbing a small wine pot, with a plate of peanuts in front of him, and squinted his eyes and savoring the wine in small mouthfuls. Seeing Lu Feng appearing in front of him with a gust of cold wind, Old eunuch Lu reached out without hesitation: "No, little bastard, come here!"
Lu Feng laughed softly, and casually set up a silent and shaped magic circle around him, handing the last immortal pill to the old eunuch Lu. He didn't ask how the old guy knew that he had an immortal pill in his hand. Anyway, the old eunuch was already a mature eunuch, and with his understanding of himself, he would definitely not believe that he had such a loyal and patriotic heart and presented the only immortal pill to Zhu Di. He just smiled faintly, sat opposite the old eunuch Lu, grabbed a few peanuts and threw them into his mouth.
Old Eunuch Lu opened the box, looked at the red elixir flashing inside, nodded, and put it in his arms with satisfaction. "Little bastard, you know you are hiding something. If you listen to you during the day, you will know that there is something strange inside. If you really got the elixir a few days ago, how could you offer it after these days? Seriously injured? Bullshit! Hey, can you hide it from Your Majesty, or do you want to hide it from your father?" He shook his head proudly, and Old Eunuch Lu sucked a sip of the wine with a squeak.
Lu Feng smiled flatteringly: "That's natural. It would be strange if you can hide this skill from you... Well, Your Majesty is calm now."
Old Eunuch Lu smiled and glanced at him, shook his head and sighed, "The wind is calm? Just wait and see, all the seven worshippers in Longhu Mountain have left the palace, you should know this. Well, the imperial edict given to them by Your Majesty, but they have to eliminate all the Taoist practitioners in the Gaoyang Palace. Hey, the seven heavenly masters are probably going to Longhu Mountain to ask the seniors of our sect for help, but their sword light is fast, and they may have started now."
After a pause, the old eunuch Lu touched a few peanuts and stuffed them into his mouth, and chewed them slowly. "You can just watch the fun next to you. Your Majesty is so angry this time. Murong Tian is looking for death himself. He actually attacked the imperial officials with evil Taoist practitioners. This is the most taboo of Your Majesty. In the Ming Dynasty, Your Majesty didn't say anything to the Second Highness, but in fact, look, the transfer orders of the Ministry of War these days, several generals have been placed near the fiefdom of the Gaoyang Palace as generals. The total force is enough to steadily eat the guards of the Gaoyang Palace."
Lu Feng frowned and asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty will not attack his son, right? The Second Highness can say that he doesn't know anything."
The old eunuch Lu said viciously: "Hmph, if Your Majesty had dispatched troops like this before, I would have advised him a few words. But this time Murong Tian actually brought someone to assassinate you, the little bastard, I will not secretly add fuel to the fire, and I am too lazy to persuade you." After blinking the triangle eyes, the old eunuch Lu said in a deep voice: "But Your Majesty will not really do anything to King Gaoyang. Just slap him a few big shots and make him be honest. If you really kill him, your Majesty may be reluctant to let him go. Besides, this second highness is also a rare general, it would be a pity to kill him."
He suddenly laughed: "Besides, he is also a prince. You kid is a slave. How could Your Majesty kill his son for a slave? It is rare for Your Majesty to do this because of your injury. Once the master worshippers of the Gaoyang Prince's Mansion are cleansed, Murong Tian, ​​a person with all the best martial arts and strategies, was abolished, and his official position was abolished. What ability does he have to compete with His Highness?"
Lu Feng also narrowed his eyes and said with a smile: "So..."
The old eunuch Lu nodded and said in a long voice: "So, Your Majesty has given you enough face in this matter. Hey, King Gaoyang must be very wronged. For you, Your Majesty has dealt with him hard. Don't say anything or do anything else. In short, according to my father-in-law, if you slap this time, King Gaoyang will not have a chance to turn over in at least two years. You, just honestly gather the thoughts of the ministers and let them obey orders."
He hummed and said, "My father-in-law, I am old and don't want to compete for too many things. If you can make a prince, your father-in-law will be satisfied in this life. The ancestors of the three generations will be considered as good as those of you." He suddenly laughed out loud: "If my father-in-law was still in Yanjing City, he was so close to you? Look at your little nose and eyes, it was the same as when he first entered the palace. Oh, if my father-in-law hadn't touched a woman, I would have thought you were my biological son."
Lu Feng smiled, grabbed a handful of peanuts and threw them into his mouth, and said with a smile: "So, we two are destined to be together, haha!" He smiled and watched as the old eunuch Lu rushed to catch the peanut plate, carefully protecting the plate with his hands. He couldn't help but hum: "You are so stingy, it's just a peanut, so what?"
The old eunuch Lu shouted coldly: "Boy, you want my father-in-law, my manpower and material resources, and you can't do this peanut." He hummed and said: "I finally saved one winter and one spring in the warehouse of the palace. The peanuts are as fat as if they had just been dug out of the ground, very fresh... Damn, I don't count a peanut for a first-class master, and I don't count it. There is only this little left in total. There will be fresh ones until autumn. You kid, you are simply a turtle eating barley, pure waste."
After saying that, he carefully grabbed a peanut, carefully picked off the thin red clothes on it, and put the full, plump, tender, crispy peanuts into his mouth. "Well, sweet, fragrant, crispy! What a peanut... When people get old, there is no big hope. A plate of peanuts and a pot of old wine will pass like this." At this point, he subconsciously touched the box in his arms. This is the case. This treasure cannot be a problem, and he is still counting on this elixir.
Lu Feng laughed, and he crossed his legs and said carelessly: "That's what you said, if you don't change a peanut to a first-class expert, I won't compete with you for peanuts. Hehe, give me the list of the West Factory to prevent the child from looking for traces like a group of wild dogs. The West Factory is also the territory of Li Zi. If my subordinates investigate too tightly and hurt their own people's kindness, it's not good."
The old eunuch Lu glanced at him and murmured in a low voice: "It's true that there's nothing good. I gave my father-in-law a fairy pill for nothing, but these ideas were like these. However, it's also worth it. Everything needs to be priced. Who will do the things that are not priced?" He took out a small book from his sleeve and whispered: "Little Lizi's Western Factory has developed very fast in the Peking area. You have to be careful. If you remember this book carefully, just burn it."
He squinted his eyes and was silent for a while before he said, "Little Li Zi is also the confidant of the Lord. He has always been the master's trust. It's like the one who is trusted by His Majesty the most is my father-in-law and Ma and his wife... So, if the Lord's Highness ascends the throne in the future, the one who is most valued will be Li Zi. If you grasp the situation of Li Zi, it's better. Even, you should give him a few condoms first and let him do some destruction. Hehe, there is a handle in your hands, so that it will be easier for you to act in the future, right?"
Lu Feng narrowed his eyes and thought for a while, nodded, and put the little book into his sleeve. He bowed his hand. He didn't say much, but asked the old eunuch Lu to work hard to practice and take good care of his body. After twisting his body, he crawled out from the ground. Old eunuch Lu looked at the place where he disappeared and murmured in a low voice: "Oh, this little bastard, with this ability, it will be convenient for him to steal fragrance and jade in the future... Hehe, let's find him a good look tomorrow and get a serious yellow-flowered daughter to marry him. I'll be the grandson as soon as possible... Hey, can the Taoist practitioner get married? No matter what, there are also people who practice Taoism and practice both. I guess this brat is still interested in this activity."
Lu Feng, who was underground, suddenly shivered a few times. He quickly pinched the spiritual technique with his right hand and began to calculate it. However, his magic power was not as profound as possible to predict good and good fortune. He could only mutter for a while in a fog. The earth escape was activated and he went far in an instant.
At the same time, Zhu Yu also had a few chills all over his body. On the top of Juyongguan, a huge green cow was standing steadily. A young Taoist boy who looked only thirteen or fourteen years old was sitting cross-legged, holding a bamboo flute in his hand and playing it "Yiyaya" with a bright moon hanging in the air, just behind the little Taoist boy's head, as if a Buddha's light had a layer of faint blue light on his body. This young Taoist boy looked extremely pure and extremely relaxed.
But it was this little Taoist boy who felt like he was pressing down on a mountain in Zhu Yu's heart. He felt so dull, so don't say it. Just look at the thirty old Taoists in red robes, more than two hundred old Taoists in purple robes floating behind the little Taoist boy, and the five old Taoists with white hair and white beards and wearing tattered green Taoist robes, and you will know the source of this pressure.
After coughing, Zhu Yu squeezed out a smile, looked up at the little Taoist boy on the top of the city, and asked humbly: "The great master of the sky is coming, I wonder what to do with Zhu Yu?" The old Taoist Ling Xiao and other monks sent by the right saints behind him were extremely difficult to see. Their five senses were much more clever than Zhu Yu. They had long discovered that in addition to the more than 200 old Taoists in Longhu Mountain in front of them, at least hundreds of monks were ambushing in the clouds around them, which was clearly malicious.
I don’t know which generation of Longhu Mountain Heavenly Master, the little Taoist boy, smiled softly: “Your Highness Gaoyang, I am polite. I came here late at night, just to act according to the order.” He blinked his eyes quickly and said with a smile: “We Longhu Mountain have always supported the court. If this imperial edict is issued, it is not OK to not abide by the rules. Therefore, if there is any offense, please forgive me.”
He took out a bright yellow scroll from his arms, and smiled and said, "In accordance with the will of heaven, the emperor's edict said... Oh, we don't have to worry about it. This imperial edict is written in a literary way, and it is a headache to read it. In short, your Majesty is very angry, so your consequences are a bit serious. Well, what's wrong with you... Cut down the guards of the Gaoyang Palace, no more than 5,000 people are allowed. Well, the taxes in the fiefdom are allowed within two years. Well, all the generals under the Gaoyang Palace will be reduced by one level."
The little Tianshi stuck out his tongue and said incrediblely: "Your Highness, what did you do? Why did His Majesty almost deposed your throne?"
Zhu Di, Murong Tian's face was already dark, as if there were thunder and lightning to be released at any time. When they saw Zhu Di's delay in issuing an order to deal with Murong Tian's assassination of Lu Feng, they knew that the result was a little bad. However, Zhu Di relied on his being a prince and thought that Zhu Di would not do anything to him. Who knew that Zhu Di's imperial edict came with him, and the one who came with him was actually all the masters of the Tianshi lineage of Longhu Mountain. The content of this imperial edict was not much different from the deposed throne. He could not use the tax revenue in the fief within two years and cut the guards to 5,000. For a long time, Zhu Di could only survive like an ordinary general in the garrison.
Zhang Tianshi laughed again, and he shook his head and said, "Ah, this is not over yet. Well, the criminal Murong Tian colluded with evil demons and assassinated the imperial officials, and made a ill-intentioned plan. The evidence of the crime is conclusive and the crime cannot be forgiven. He specially removed all official positions and military positions, and ordered the government officials in the world to arrest them without any silence... The demon Ling Xiao bewitched the prince, disturbed the government affairs, and all the party should be punished... The killing of the party!" When he read the last few words, Zhang Tianshi's voice became extremely solemn and cold, as if a storm wind blew across the hearts of the old Taoist Ling Xiao and others.
Zhu Yu was stunned. He looked at Murong Tian with a pale face and shouted loudly: "This is an insult, a complete insult... General Murong did not do these ruthless things, he did not assassinate the imperial officials, this is an insult from Lu Feng's party... Zhang Tianshi, you say Gao Delong, why did you follow them to pour sewage on my Gaoyang Palace?... I am the emperor and the nobles, how could the generals do such lawless things?"
Zhu Yu made up his mind that he would deny this crime to the end. He must find a way to protect Murong Tian, ​​and then rush to Yingtian Mansion to argue with Lu Feng in front of Zhu Di. He believed that just by Lu Feng's one-sided remarks, Zhu Di would change his decision in the end. "Hmph, the remaining living people on the scene are all your Jinyiwei party. I will start from here, saying that it was you, Lu Feng, who killed Zhang Ren himself, and then blame Murong... Humph!"
Master Zhang Tian looked at Zhu Li's angry look, and he laughed softly again. Shaking his head, he put the imperial edict in his arms, grabbed the bamboo flute and blew it a few times, and suddenly said: "Your Highness, I am too lazy to pay attention to the right and wrong in your court. The Longhu Mountain lineage is just a small supervisor of the world, following the instructions of the Central Plains Taoist Sect. Therefore, he acts as a cultivator and becomes an official in the world."
He shouted in a deep voice: "Whether brothers make enemies or fight each other in your royal family, we practitioners will not interfere. Today, I came to announce the imperial edict. Murong Tian has nothing to do with us. He is a criminal official, so naturally some people from the court come to arrest him. But I heard that the royal family worship Taoist Ling Xiao is a magic skill he has practiced. I wonder if it is true or false?"
A green-robed old Taoist behind him stood up tremblingly and said tremblingly: "If you see someone in the devil, kill him. Good and evil cannot be matched. We should do the same for heaven and kill all these demons... Prince Gaoyang, you are going to compete with your elder brother for the throne. We don't care about this matter, but if you take in the devil, we can't care about this matter." He coughed and said weakly: "If your highness makes friends with the demons, you will gain great power in the world in the future, you may be in chaos in the world. Therefore, today we are not going to deal with your highness, but just to compete with Taoist Master Ling Xiao and others."
The face of the old Taoist Ling Xiao became very ugly. He looked at the more than 200 Taoists on the top of the city, and then at the twenty companions behind him. He knew that he had reached a desperate situation today. Not to mention the hundreds of monks ambushed around him, just because of the masters of Longhu Mountain on the top of the city, they would be unable to eat and take care of them.
Zhu Li looked at the old Taoist Ling Xiao and the others and smiled dryly: "Tianshi, you said this, but I really misunderstood Taoist Ling Xiao and the others. Taoist Ling Xiao, together with all the Taoist Taoists, are all Taoist cultivators, so why are there any evil demons? You must not believe in other people's rumors and rumors. You must know that many of the civil and military ministers in the court are disagreeable with me. They should spread rumors and cause trouble, which is also the right thing to do."
Master Zhang shook his head silently, and he whispered: "Your Majesty, you don't need to argue. After learning about this, I specially led my disciples to Sichuan. The destroyed plank road was clearly broken by evil magic, and the scene of the incident was discovered. The spiritual energy of the heaven and earth was extremely strong, which was clearly the result of the trigger of the Jiuzhou barrier." After a while, Master Zhang said in a very slow tone: "Today, according to the imperial edict of Your Majesty, I will kill you and other evil demons... All fellow Taoists work together to annihilate the demons!"
An extremely brilliant golden light shot out from Zhang Tianshi's hand. Countless people in the sky agreed at the same time, and countless sword lights flew out.
Zhu Li sighed to the sky, silently and silently. He heard his screams and Taoist Ling Xiao and others had no time to resist, so they were killed by hundreds of experts from the Central Plains Taoist Sect.
After a long time, it was not until the last sword light disappeared into the horizon that Zhu Yu said in a low voice: "Father, you are so cruel and have a quick action... Murong, we have to plan a good plan. Taoist Ling Xiao and the others were killed, and I am afraid that Lu Feng will not let you go, and we must find a way to save you."
Murong Tian looked at the dark sky and felt frightened. Unexpectedly, his side had been struggling for so long, and the little strength he had accumulated was wiped out so quickly by Zhu Di. This is him showing his majesty and power as the emperor? Murong Tian felt a deep sense of powerlessness in his heart. He said in a low voice: "Your Highness, we need to cultivate someone who can confront Lu Feng head-on in the court, otherwise, the quick knife in His Majesty's hand may fall on our heads at any time."
