Caressing Xiu gently, he said calmly: "You can laugh if you want, Your Majesty. Why endure it so hard?"
"Hehe, haha, no, it's normal to get lost in such a heavy fog."
"You don't mean what you say." Yan Xin snorted softly.
Li Luo figured out the direction for a while, and showed Yan Xin the way back with ease and ease, which was no less satisfying than winning on the battlefield.
Yan Xin pursed her lips and smiled, glared at Li Luo, and disappeared into the mist. After Yan Xin disappeared, Li Luo laughed a few more times, and then walked towards the palace.
After entering the palace, Li Luo was really surprised that the Taoist sect leader who stayed at home was also here in Qianqing Hall. He thought that Sansheng Taoist would wait until the full moon night, the day of the battle in the palace. Appear.
Emperor Wanlong listened to Li Xuanci and others' report on various matters, and almost asked them about every detail. His face was solemn and extremely cautious. This was probably the time when Emperor Wanlong was most attentive in these years. Concubine Shu was not there, only Yun was there. The concubine stood by quietly with a smile on her face, gentle and approachable, looking lovingly at the mighty Emperor Wanlong.
If he hadn't met Yan Xin before, and if Yan Xin hadn't mentioned the reason why Taoist Sansheng appeared in the Dagan Palace, Li Luo might have just regarded it as a coincidence. Now look at Emperor Wanlong and Concubine Yun on the throne in the palace. , Li Luo's heart gradually sank. Even if she was established as a queen, Concubine Yun could use thunderous means to eliminate dissidents and clear up the disputes in the harem. It was still hard to find peace in the inner garden of Dagan.
"Xuanlou, what do you think?" Emperor Wanlong looked at Li Luo, who was looking down in thought and asked loudly.
"It is very good to return to the emperor."
"Very good?" Emperor Wanlong stroked his beard and said in surprise.
Concubine Yun covered her mouth and smiled softly: "His Ninth Prince seems to be a little absent-minded. Could it be that there is something on his mind?"
"I'd like to inform you that Xuanlou is only thinking about the guards in the palace. Apart from Changming Palace, I'm afraid I won't be careless anywhere else."
Emperor Wanlong nodded repeatedly and said: "Xuanlou's words are reasonable. Not only Changming Palace, but also other places must be more prepared. Chengwen, the Forbidden Army must not make any mistakes in its deployment. Let Gu Mian and General Huo pay more attention."
"Brother, I have received the order." The Shepherd King Li Chengwen responded in a deep voice and glanced at the silent Taoist Sansheng. Although he did not speak, it could be seen that the Shepherd King in charge of the imperial army had some complaints.
"You don't need to spend too much time inside and outside Changming Palace." Suddenly Taoist Sansheng said calmly and coldly.
Li Chengwen raised his sword eyebrows and said indifferently: "Why did the Taoist master say this? The Taoists fight, and the Holy Master goes to watch the ceremony in person. If something goes wrong with the guards, let alone a Taoist sect, even the entire Taoist sect cannot bear it."
"Chengwen, listen to what the Taoist Master has to say."
"Yes, brother emperor." Li Chengwen bowed and said no more.
"Not everyone is qualified to watch the Taoist fighting in Changming Palace. No one will cause trouble here, and no one dares to cause trouble." Sansheng said calmly.
"Hmph, what a loud tone." Li Chengwen shouted dissatisfied.
"Chengwen, don't be rude." Emperor Wanlong frowned and waved his hand, saying, "Priest Sansheng also has good intentions. The guards in the palace are mainly imperial guards, and Chengwen is responsible for them. As for the safety of Changming Palace, Let Mr. Xiao bear the responsibility."
Xiao Baisheng glanced at King Mu, and responded in a deep voice: "Wei Chen accepts the order."
"Prince Mu is worried about the safety of His Majesty. This is the duty of a loyal minister. However, since Taoist Master Sansheng has this confidence, nothing will happen to him. Even if His Majesty comes to watch the ceremony in person, the power of the dragon is so majestic that these people in the world would not dare to do it according to this palace. I have evil intentions." Concubine Yun said with a smile.
"People in the world have always been lawless. We are afraid that one or two villains who are not afraid of death will have disobedience. With Mr. Xiao here, although the emperor's brother is safe, it will be a big deal if the emperor's dragon body is surprised. Careless No."
"Haha, Chengwen, I am not as weak as you think. I am the emperor of Da Gan. I have never seen any storms. If a few gangsters can scare me, I am too timid."
Li Chengwen responded, as if he was full of doubts only for this Taoist leader and had no disrespect for Emperor Wanlong's oral instructions.
Li Luo looked thoughtfully at the people in the palace. Concubine Yun's calmness, Emperor Wanlong's painstaking efforts, Shepherd King Li Chengwen's doubts and displeasure, and the expressionless Taoist leader, this Qianqing The hall looked particularly strange. Li Luo glanced at Concubine Yun a few times without being noticed by others. Although Concubine Yun's expression remained unchanged, her long eyelashes trembled slightly, which was obviously not peaceful under her calm face at the moment.
Li Chengwen dared to show his face to Emperor Wanlong and Concubine Wanlong. If it was just King Mu himself, he would not dare to do so even if he had the courage to do so. There must be someone behind him, someone who is quite dissatisfied with Concubine Yunlong and Emperor Wanlong. There is only one person in the entire harem, the Queen Mother.
In addition to Li Luo, there was also Li Xuanze, the King of Wisdom, who was watching the situation. The light in his eyes flickered in and out, seeming to be speculating on this somewhat inexplicable Taoist fight.
The Empress Dowager was definitely not the only one in the harem who had doubts about Emperor Wanlong's acceptance of Chang Ming Palace's fight on Taoism. It's just that this time Emperor Wanlong was very tight-lipped. Until now, no one knew that Emperor Wanlong had bought it from his gourd. What kind of medicine? But Yan Xin could know that Sansheng was invited to the palace by Concubine Yun. Naturally, this matter was not unknown. Maybe someone knew something or guessed something, but since Emperor Wanlong had already It is not a trivial matter to inform the Dagan Wulin and get Emperor Wanlong to take back his golden words.
Li Luo was not worried about the guards at Changming Palace, nor was he worried about whether there would be changes elsewhere in the palace. In fact, he was worried about what kind of chaos would arise after this Taoist fight. This huge battle, the battle between Jianghu sects There was a riot in the court, and the court and the public were prepared to prepare. It seemed to outsiders that something big had happened. The court was so exhausted, and these princes and ministers were thinking deeply. In the end, it was just a dispute between two Taoist sects. If not, Emperor Wanlong and even the entire court will become the laughing stock of the world.
On a full moon night, in front of Changming Palace.
The heavy fog that shrouded Zhuocheng finally dissipated on the day of the battle between the two Taoist sects. It was cool in autumn, the wind was not yet cold, the stars were scattered, and the bright moon was like a jade plate. Such a night was quiet and peaceful, and the beauty was intoxicating. Li Luo raised his head Looking at the moonlight with a few wisps of white gauze in the sky, if such gentle moonlight had dazzling red blood, wouldn't it be more poignant than at this moment?
This thought startled Li Luo. He quickly shook his head and threw away the horrifying thoughts. The white jade stone platform in front of Changming Palace was filled with fragrance, which could be smelled everywhere. For this Emperor Wanlong spent a lot of effort in the Taoist fight, and the internal affairs department in the palace probably spent half of the incense burning.
