After entering Yunbo City, Lin San asked passers-by about the whereabouts of the Imperial Master's Mansion. After asking clearly, Lin San strode towards the Imperial Master's Mansion. At this time, Lin San still hid his true cultivation level to avoid being exposed. Notice.
In fact, strictly speaking, the Imperial Preceptor's Palace and the Imperial Palace are connected. In other words, the Imperial Preceptor's Palace is part of the imperial palace. The emperor of Hualan Kingdom respects the Imperial Preceptor very much and treats him as a teacher. At first, the national preceptor Dongfang Baimei did not live in the palace. Instead, he lived on a mountain dozens of miles away from the palace. Later, several assassins broke into the palace to assassinate the emperor. The guards at the time were unable to stop them. At the critical moment, The national master Dongfang Baimei came and beat all the assassins to death with three strikes, five and two. Later, in order to better protect the emperor, Dongfang Baimei moved directly to the imperial palace. The emperor specially set aside a special area for the national master Dongfang Baimei. A house. And the emperor gave him a plaque saying "Guo Prefect's Mansion". From then on, Guo Preceptor Dongfang Baimei lived in the palace.
There are such rumors in Hualan Kingdom privately. It is said that Dongfang Baimei is the Supreme Emperor of Hualan Kingdom. Even the emperor has to listen to Dongfang Baimei's orders. The rumors may be a bit exaggerated. But it is not difficult to see Dongfang Baimei's power in Hualan Kingdom. It's truly extraordinary.
Lin San quickly arrived at the gate of the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion. Just as he was about to force his way in, he saw several people walking out of the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion. Lin San glanced at it, and his expression suddenly became strange. He ducked and hid in In an alley.
Several men walked out of the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion. The leading man was wearing an official robe. He looked very majestic. He walked out of the door. The man in the official robe stopped, turned around and said to a middle-aged guard beside him: "Commander Chen. Just send it here. I'll come back to visit the Imperial Master another day."
The middle-aged guard nodded and said politely: "Welcome the Prime Minister to come again." Listening to the title of the middle-aged guard, the man in official robe turned out to be the Prime Minister of Hualan Kingdom.
At this time, a sedan chair was carried over.
The man in official robes said hello and got into the sedan. A dozen guards carried the sedan and left the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion.
After the sedan chair had gone far away, the middle-aged guard led his men back to the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion.
…
In the sedan chair.
Wu Yinghao closed his eyes slightly and thought to himself. Although Wu Yinghao is the prime minister of Hualan Kingdom, his power is very small. Because all the power in his hand was taken away by the national master Dongfang Baimei. Wu Yinghao is now at best A decoration.
"Alas..." Wu Yinghao sighed softly and said to himself: "I, the Prime Minister, are really a loser."
A breeze blew by. Suddenly there was a man beside Wu Yinghao.
Wu Yinghao was startled. He subconsciously wanted to shout.
"If you want to die, just scream." The man who broke into the sedan said coldly.
"Uh..." The words Wu Yinghao was about to shout suddenly got stuck in his throat. His face trembled several times. He said in a trembling voice: "You...what do you want to do..."
The man curled his lips: "Prime Minister Wu, you won't forget me, will you?"
"Hmm." Wu Yinghao was stunned. He looked the man up and down. He felt that he looked familiar. But he couldn't remember where he had seen him before: "You... I seem to have seen you somewhere..."
"Prime Minister Wu is such a noble man who forgets things." The man smiled lightly: "More than ten years ago, I went to your house to hunt down a great monk... In order to heal that great monk's wounds, you also arrested many innocent children... …”
"It's you..." Wu Yinghao finally remembered: "You...how did you..."
"You don't have to be afraid. I have no ill intentions." The man waved his hand: "My name is Lin San. I am passing through Hualan Country this time. I am not here to cause trouble for you."
After listening to Lin San's words, Wu Yinghao felt relieved: "Master Lin, I haven't done anything bad these years..."
"I know. Along the way, I heard many people praise you for being an honest official." Lin San nodded.
"Yes. I was warned by the immortal master back then. I never dare to do bad things again." Wu Yinghao said flatteringly.
"Prime Minister Wu, I saw you coming out of the Imperial Prefect's Mansion just now." Lin San suddenly changed the topic.
Wu Yinghao was stunned for a moment. Then he nodded: "Yes. I went to pay my respects to the Imperial Master."
"Better greetings." Lin San frowned: "The prime minister and the Imperial Preceptor have equal official positions. Why do you go to greet the Imperial Preceptor?"
"Alas..." Wu Yinghao sighed: "Forget it...I, the Prime Minister, exist in name only. I am just a decoration... All the rights in my hands were taken away by the Imperial Master. In order to protect the wealth in front of me and the wealth of my family, I My safety is in danger. I can only pretend to be a grandson and come to greet the Imperial Master every day and flatter him."
"No way." Lin San looked very surprised: "You just watched your rights being taken away and didn't resist at all."
"Resist." Wu Yinghao smiled bitterly: "If the National Master were an ordinary person, I might really resist. But... the National Master is an immortal cultivator. And he is also a profound immortal cultivator. How can I, a mortal, dare to Resistance. If the imperial master wants to kill me, it will be easy."
Lin San was silent. Wu Yinghao was right. An ordinary mortal like him really couldn't fight against the Imperial Master.
"To be honest, Immortal Lin, I'm planning to retire and return home recently. I don't want to stay in Yunbo City anymore." Wu Yinghao said helplessly.
"Resign from old age and return to your hometown." Lin San smiled: "You are only in your fifties. You have to resign from old age and return to your hometown at such a young age."
Wu Yinghao shook his head: "I can't help it. I can't pretend to be a grandson all the time... If I offend the Imperial Master one day, the lives of my whole family will be ruined." Wu Yinghao is an ambitious person. Of course he was not willing to resign and return to his hometown. But in order to survive and save his family, he had no choice but to resign and return to his hometown. This was also a helpless fate.
The life of a dignified prime minister is so helpless. The life of ordinary people is even more difficult and helpless. The society itself is so cruel and ruthless.
Seeing Wu Yinghao's dejected look, Lin San raised the corner of his mouth and smiled: "Wu Yinghao, let me ask you a question. If that national master died, would you still choose to retire and return home?"
"What. How could the Imperial Master die... uh..." Wu Yinghao suddenly thought of something. His eyes suddenly stared and his voice began to tremble: "That... Master Lin, what do you mean..."
Lin San smiled and said without any concealment: "I can help you get rid of that Imperial Master and let you regain your power."
"Ah..." Wu Yinghao was stunned in his seat. It took him a long time to come back to his senses. He swallowed hard: "Master Lin... you are not... are you kidding me..."
Lin San looked a little unhappy: "You look at me like I'm joking."
