In history, there were always a few emperors who liked to ignore government affairs and only wanted to cultivate immortality. The saints in "The Twelve Hours of Chang'an" were just like that.

This old boy has not been in court all year round, and he even planned to let Lin Jiulang, the right prime minister, take charge of the court on his behalf so that he could practice the Eight Classics of Immortality.

In this case, the person whom the saint favored the most was Yang Taizhen, who cultivated immortality with him.

Yang Taizhen, whose real name is Yang Yuhuan (Yang Yuhuan? A simple and crude homophone). She does not appear much in "The Twelve Hours of Chang'an", but if she can make good use of it, she is a key figure that affects the direction of the plot.

At this time, two undercurrents were surging around Yang Taizhen. The final result was that the saint issued an oral edict announcing that the "prophet" would immediately enter the palace to meet the saint.

The meeting place was Huaxianghui Tower where you can enjoy the big sky lanterns at night. Also going there were Li Bi, the Prime Minister of Jing'an Division, He Zhizheng, the Prince.

Obviously the saint has put Xiao Han and them together. Once Xiao Han's performance cannot satisfy the saint, the others will also be implicated.

"The sage ordered us to urgently recruit the 'prophet' Zhang Hu into the palace to meet the sage. Li Bi, the Prime Minister of Jing'an Division, He Lao, and the Crown Prince went to Huaxianhui Tower together!"

"I am cultivating immortality well, but you insist on disturbing me. If you have anything to do, we can wait until we watch the lanterns at night, can't we?"

"Since you are so anxious, then I will meet the prophet you are talking about. If he is just a charlatan, then I will definitely punish you!"

As a eunuch in charge of rituals read the saint's oral instructions aloud, all the people who were summoned did not hesitate and immediately went to the Huaxianhui Tower.

Before leaving, Xiao Han found Zhang Xiaojing: "Captain Zhang, as I said before, the so-called big plan of the Wolf Guard today is just a means to deceive others."

"The real mastermind behind this is Long Bo, of course, your former comrade-in-arms Xiao Gui. His real purpose in planning all this is to assassinate the saint!"

"Tonight, the saint is going to host a banquet for civil and military officials and envoys from various countries at the Huacalyx Xianghui Building. Let's all enjoy the fairy lanterns and celebrate the Lantern Festival together."

"But Master Mao Shun, who designed the Great Immortal Lantern, has colluded with Long Bo to transform the Great Immortal Lantern into a powerful weapon that can destroy the entire Calyx Xianghui Tower!"

"Long Bo must be hiding in the fairy lamp now. If we want to catch him, we still have to rely on you, Captain Zhang."

"Captain Zhang, you are now a death row prisoner and cannot enter the palace. But the Great Immortal Lantern is in Xingqing Palace. There is a dry well in the southwest corner of Xingqing Palace Square. Through that dry well, you can enter the Great Immortal Lantern."

"It's just that Luang Por's plan was ruined. Now he must have opened the floodgates and blocked the dry wells. He will assassinate the saint when he ascends to the Calyx Xianghui Tower."

"I know Captain Zhang is very good at water, so it's up to you, Captain Zhang, to capture Long Bo and save the saint's life."

Zhang Xiaojing was really dumbfounded this time. It was a dusty morning, and before he even figured out what was going on, all the wolf guards who were planning evil had been eliminated.

Then the man behind the scenes popped up and turned out to be his old comrade-in-arms Xiao Gui. Now Zhang Xiaojing was really confused.

But suddenly Xiao Han said that Long Bo plotted all this to assassinate the saint! And he also wanted to sneak into the Great Fairy Lantern to capture Long Bo and save the saint!

Damn it... the pace is too fast, I can't keep up at all!

"Where did you get this information from?" What Xiao Han was saying now was so important that Zhang Xiaojing had to confirm it carefully.

"It doesn't matter where I got it from. What's important is that everything I said before has come true, hasn't it?"

"But if this is true, why do you want me to stop Long Bo? Someone wants to assassinate the saint, and with just one word, the Imperial Guards can crush the Great Immortal Lantern in an instant!"

"In that case, after everything is over, will you, Zhang Xiaojing, go back to death row to wait for death? Will the saint still let Lin Jiulang take power?"

Xiao Han's words were like a basin of cold water, pouring down Zhang Xiaojing's heart.

Xiao Han continued: "The Tang Dynasty has reached its end. Chang'an City seems prosperous, but what kind of life the people outside Chang'an City live, Captain Zhang, you know better than anyone else!"

"But our saint only cares about cultivating immortals and seeking immortality, completely ignoring the government affairs, allowing factions to fight for power, and playing some self-righteous emperor's schemes."

"Such a saint is a complete useless bastard! But with the current situation of the Tang Dynasty, this useless bastard is really indispensable!"

"Since the civil and military forces of the entire dynasty dare not awaken the saint's blue sky daydream, then let me awaken him in my own way!"

Zhang Xiaojing stared at Xiao Han dumbfounded, as if he had just met Xiao Han.

At this moment, Xiao Han suddenly grew taller in Zhang Xiaojing's eyes. Everything he just said was like heavy punches one after another, hitting Zhang Xiaojing's heart accurately and refreshingly!

After a long time, Zhang Xiaojing bowed to Xiao Han: "Leave Xiao Gui to me! But when you enter the palace this time... can we meet again?"

Xiao Han smiled: "Whether we can meet depends on fate, but don't worry, it won't be long before my name will shake the world. Hundreds and thousands of years later, it will still be a legend passed down from generation to generation in people's mouths!"

"And you will truly believe that I am a prophet!"
