A year of divine power.

News came from the rivers and lakes that the new emperor Zhu Wuwu canonized Zhenren Zhang of Wudang Mountain as Zhenjun Qingxu Yuanmiao.

Regarding this matter, Wudang Mountain Master Zhang never made any response.

Neither accept the reward nor refuse the reward.

Maintaining the status quo.

Faced with this situation, Zhu Wuli didn't think there was anything wrong.

For him, the fact that Master Zhang did not explicitly refuse the reward was the best response.

After canonizing Zhang Zhenren, Zhu Wuwu sent a plaque personally written by the emperor to the Shaolin Temple.

The first temple of Ming Dynasty.

Compared to Wudang Mountain, which had no reaction, Shaolin Temple's reaction was much more real.

Master Fang Zheng personally came forward to accept this plaque.

Zhu Wuwu was very satisfied with the Shaolin Temple's response.

He who knows the current affairs is a hero.

As a major representative of the Ming Dynasty, since the Shaolin Temple is willing to accept the imperial court's reward, it will naturally set up an eye-catching banner for the entire world.

The news about Shaolin Wudang being rewarded by the imperial court soon caused a stir in the world.

All people with a discerning eye can see that Zhu Wuwu has ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, and already has a wealth of beauties.

But Zhu Wuli wanted more than just the country and ruling the common people.

He also wants to unify these scattered rivers and lakes and achieve true unification of the world!

Zhang Zhenzhen is in charge of Wudang Mountain, and he has a transcendent status in the world.

Shaolin Temple is famous all over the world.

After these two most representative Jianghu sects acquiesced and accepted Zhu Wuwu's rule, other Jianghu sects, large and small, naturally knew what to do.

In just half a month, Shangguan Haitang, who is now in charge of Hulong Villa, received posts from a total of seventy-six sects, large and small, in the world.

The contents of these posts are similar, and without exception they all express submission to the imperial court.

And after half a month, there are not many forces in the world who have not made a clear statement to the court.

…

Qixia Town, Tongfu Inn.

After the deserted days of the New Year, when the Lantern Festival passed, Tongfu Inn became lively again.

Huo Yin once again hung up his sign and started fortune-telling.

On this day, many Jianghu people came to Tongfu Inn, and they talked a lot about the imperial court's recruitment of Jianghu forces from all sides.

Many of them asked Huo Yin for his opinion on this matter.

Huo Yin shook his head without making any comments.

He regards his current position as a fortune teller.

If one day Zhu Wuli's recruitment order falls on his head, it will not be too late for him to respond to it.

And just when Huo Yin was thinking this, a sound of gongs and drums suddenly came from outside.

When everyone heard the noise coming from outside, they stopped talking and looked outside the door with curious eyes.

Soon, a figure flew in from outside the door.

"Master Huo, Master Huo!"

Xing Baotou walked quickly to Huo Yin and whispered: "You are from the imperial court, and you are here to be rewarded!"

After saying this, Mr. Xing quickly ran towards the backyard.

It was extremely difficult for him to inform Huo Yin one step ahead of time, so he had to hide it quickly.

When Huo Yin heard Xing Baotou's words, he couldn't help but have a strange look on his face.

Previously, he was still thinking about Zhu Wuli's recruitment of various forces in the world, but he didn't expect that in a blink of an eye, the trouble would be his own.

Thinking of this, Huo Yin glanced at the people around him and said, "If you don't want to die, leave now. If you don't leave now, you won't have a chance later."

Everyone who originally wanted to see the excitement was stunned for a moment when they heard Huo Yin's words, and then they all ran outside. In the blink of an eye, everyone in the bustling inn was gone.

Huo Yin glanced at Shopkeeper Tong and Lao Bai again, and said, "You should also hide."

Shopkeeper Tong and Lao Bai immediately walked towards the backyard knowingly after hearing this.

They knew clearly that it was best for them not to get involved in what was going to happen next.

There are some things that Huo Yin can bear, but they may not be able to bear!

Just after Huo Yin dispersed everyone in the inn, a young eunuch walked into the inn from outside.

He walked up to Huo Yin with a smile on his face, raised his hands and said, "Congratulations to Mr. Huo, congratulations to Mr. Huo."

Huo Yin looked at the young eunuch, smiled slightly, and asked, "Does this father-in-law want to give me some hexagram money?"

When the young eunuch heard this, he immediately responded: "What we want to give Mr. Huo is something better than Gua Jin!"

At this time, the sound of gongs and drums outside was getting closer and closer, and the little eunuch said with a smile on his face: "After our family has finished reading the imperial edict, Mr. Huo can hang up the plaque of the world's best fortune-teller written by the royal pen! This is

What about honoring our ancestors!"

Huo Yin shook his head and said, "It's better not to read out the imperial edict."

When the little eunuch heard Huo Yin's words, the smile on his face suddenly froze.

Huo Yin continued: "I am just a fortune teller, Xianyun Yehe. I don't want to be an official, and I can't accept any rewards. I'd better leave this matter of honoring my ancestors to others."

The young eunuch said with a forced smile, "Master Huo, please don't embarrass our family."

If Huo Yin really refuses this reward, maybe nothing will happen to Huo Yin, but something will definitely happen to him!

Huo Yin shook his head and said to the young eunuch: "Don't treat yourself badly on the way back. Eat more good food."

When the little eunuch heard what Huo Yin said, his expression immediately dropped.

He had actually been mentally prepared before coming here.

Because everyone knows that Huo Yin will not easily accept rewards from the court. No matter who comes here, if they mess up the job, they will lose their heads.

So this task was pushed back and forth, and finally it fell on him.

It was precisely because he knew that this errand was difficult to handle that he did not come with the team, but came alone to explore Huo Yin's tone.

Otherwise, if Huo Yin refuses when the team comes with gongs and drums and reads out the imperial edict, things will get really big!

At present, the imperial edict has not been read out, and the team has not yet arrived, so there is still room for change.

Huo Yin looked at the desperate look on the little eunuch's face and said with a smile: "Don't worry, go back. You don't need to tell him this."

The little eunuch was slightly startled when he heard this.

He didn't quite understand the meaning of Huo Yin's last sentence, but he was not in the mood to ask more questions now, so he turned around and walked outside with a sad face.

Outside the inn.

The very festive procession, which was playing gongs and drums, was led by the young eunuch and passed by Tongfu Inn and walked all the way to the west of the city. Judging from this meaning, it seemed that they were planning to leave the city directly.

Everyone outside the inn had questions on their faces when they saw this scene.

What's happening here?

You come in a lively way, and then you leave in a lively way. Do you just come in and take a walk?

They had seen the little eunuch running into Tongfu Inn before, and they thought it was because the court was going to reward Huo Yin.

Could it be that they thought wrong?

Or... it was Huo Yin who refused the imperial court's reward?!

…

Three days later.

In the imperial study room, Zhu Wuwu, who was wearing a dragon robe, was sitting at the table. He looked at the trembling little eunuch calmly and said calmly: "Repeat what Huo Yin said word for word."

Zhu Wuli was not surprised that Huo Yin would refuse the reward.

He had already received the information long before the little eunuch came back.

Huo Yin dispersed everyone, but no one witnessed Huo Yin rejecting the imperial court's reward, and the reward team did not enter Tongfu Inn.

This also allows there to be some buffering room between them, so that they will not fall out immediately.

For this result, Zhu Wuli could barely accept it.

Now he just wants to know how Huo Yin responded at that time.

Upon hearing this, the little eunuch immediately said everything Huo Yin had said to him before, word for word, except for the last sentence.

Zhu ignored the little eunuch's retelling and was silent for a moment, then said: "He asked you to eat something good on the way back, so don't treat yourself badly?"

The little eunuch nodded slightly, with a worried look on his face.

The meaning of Huo Yin's words is very obvious, that is, he failed in his errand and will definitely lose his head this time.

If you eat something good on the way, it will be a meal for your head!

Zhu Wulan looked at the little eunuch meaningfully and said, "Go down."

The little eunuch was stunned for a moment when he heard Zhu Wuwu's words, and then a look of surprise appeared on his face.

Immediately, he saluted Zhu Yilan, with a look of uncontrollable joy on his face, and said quickly: "Wei Chen, please retire!"
