"Are you threatening me?"
Fang Zhiyong said coldly.
"It's not a threat, it's a negotiation." Ye Qing said, "I just don't want to have long sleepless nights and accidents."
"I hope Taifu can understand my good intentions."
"I am considerate of you, but have you ever been considerate of me?" Fang Zhiyong said sarcastically: "I am a scholar, old and frail. If you go alone and you have evil intentions and go back on your word, I will not only lose the emperor. Zhong, will your life be in danger?"
"A gentleman does not stand behind a dangerous wall. Do you think I will agree?"
"Oh, that's true. Transactions should be fair and just. I didn't think about this. I didn't expect that the dignified Grand Master would also be greedy for life and afraid of death."
Ye Qing groaned and said in a strange tone: "Well, you are afraid that I will go back on my promise, and I am also afraid that you will not keep your promise. I have a saint here, so for the sake of fairness, I also allow you to bring a saint here. "
"But..."
"But what?" Fang Zhiyong asked.
"But, how about changing the location not to Luoshui County but to Taiping Wuxi Forest?" Ye Qing said.
Fang Zhiyong remained silent.
"Since you can't make a decision, just ask your master."
Ye Qing smiled and said, "I'm going to the Peaceful Forest first. If you're worried, you can let your spies keep an eye on me."
"Remember, you only have one hour. Within one hour, I want to see the person I want to see."
After saying that, without waiting for Fang Zhiyong's reply, Ye Qing left Zhen's consciousness.
"Master, forgive me, but this subordinate deserves to die!" After Ye Qing left, Xiao also regained consciousness and hurriedly apologized to Fang Zhiyong, and at the same time wanted to destroy his soul consciousness.
But immediately, Fang Zhiyong stopped him: "Your life is mine. You can only die if I allow you to die. Do you understand?"
"Yes, Master." Chi kneeled down and said.
"Your mission now is to follow Ye Qing and wait for my news." Fang Zhiyong ordered.
"Yes, Master." Chi said with cupped hands.
"Go." After Zhi left, Fang Zhiyong looked at Fang Ruliu and said, "Instruct Mei, Zhen, Zhen to continue to follow Ye Qing, monitor his whereabouts, and report to me in time."
"Yes, sir." Fang Ruliu responded, turned and left.
After Fang Ruliu left, Fang Zhiyong came to the study.
In the center of the study room, there is a beautiful stone shelf made of crystal, and on the stone shelf is a beautiful bronze mirror.
The bronze mirror is covered with complicated and mysterious patterns, vaguely like dragons and phoenixes, simple and mysterious, majestic and luxurious.
When he came to the front and back of the bronze mirror, Fang Zhiyong straightened his clothes, knelt down on his knees, and said respectfully: "My minister Fang Zhiyong, I would like to bow down to the Holy One. I have something to report..."
Immediately, the patterns on the bronze mirror were seen moving and changing, like a dragon flying into the sky or a phoenix soaring. About a moment later, a man wearing a bright yellow robe and an extraordinary appearance appeared in the bronze mirror.
"Greetings to the Holy One, long live the Holy One..."
Seeing the person in the bronze mirror, Fang Zhiyong fell to the ground, knelt three times and kowtowed nine times, and shouted long live.
"Master, that's all."
The person in the mirror is naturally the current Ninth Five Supreme Being of the Chu State, Emperor Jingrun.
"I said that in private, the master does not need to be so polite."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness, but the etiquette between monarch and minister cannot be abolished." Fang Zhiyong said respectfully: "No matter when, no matter where, I should abide by my heart, be as respectful as before, and not exceed the rules in the slightest."
"It would be great if everyone in the world were as respectful as Taifu." Emperor Jingrun sighed with emotion. The next moment, he walked out of the mirror, walked to Fang Zhiyong, and helped Fang Zhiyong up. .
"I am terrified."
Fang Zhiyong stood up, bowed his head and saluted: "Your Majesty is the Supreme Being, the King and Father of all peoples, and everyone should be respectful like a minister or a son."
Emperor Jingrun said helplessly: "Yes, you should take care of yourself, but some people have forgotten the heart of obedience and have lost the intention of being a courtier."
Fang Zhiyong bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry. When the Sky Surveying Mirror is restored, the world will be at peace. At that time, anyone who is disobedient and anyone who is not respectful will be wiped out."
"Hahaha...that's exactly what it should be."
Hearing this, Emperor Jingrun laughed heartily: "I, your Majesty, any disobedient or disobedient person shall die without a burial place."
Fang Zhiyong held up his hand and was extremely respectful. He did not have the arrogance of being a master of the dynasty or the stubbornness of a scholar. He could only be frightened and respectful, saying: "Holy Master, Holy Ming."
"By the way, Tutor, you are looking for me, but what happened to the Emperor's Bell?" Emperor Jingrun asked. He didn't care about Ye Qing, he only cared about the Emperor's Bell.
"The Holy One is wise."
Immediately, Fang Zhiyong knelt down and apologized: "Old minister, I have neglected my duty. Then Ye Qing has already guessed the purpose of His Majesty."
Emperor Jingrun asked, "What did he guess?"
Fang Zhiyong replied: "He has guessed that this plan was set up by the Holy Emperor for the Earth Emperor Bell."
"Really?" Emperor Jingrun narrowed his eyes slightly, with a terrifying gaze flashing in his pupils: "Oh, then he didn't say, why do I want to seize the Earth Emperor Bell?"
"Then Ye Qing said that the Holy Emperor's purpose in seizing the Earth Emperor was to use the power of the Earth Emperor Bell to condense and suppress the scattered national destiny." Fang Zhiyong replied.
Emperor Jingrun asked: "So, what do you think my purpose is?"
Fang Zhiyong said in a panic: "The old minister is too scared to guess the holy will."
Emperor Jingrun said: "Say it, I will forgive your guilt."
Fang Zhiyong was silent for a few breaths and said, "Wei Chen's guess is consistent with that of Ye Qing."
Of course he knew Emperor Jingrun's purpose of seizing the Emperor Bell. It is to let the Sky Surveying Mirror swallow the Emperor Bell to restore the power of the Sky Surveying Mirror. However, the Holy Heart is unpredictable. There are some things that even if you know the answer, you can't say it, but you can only treat it as if you don't know. It's rare to be confused.
"Hahaha..." Emperor Jingrun was noncommittal and laughed loudly: "Then what conditions did Ye Qing put forward?"
"Your Majesty, Ye Qing said that he is willing to hand over the Emperor Bell on the condition that we release the people we arrested." Fang Zhiyong replied.
"Well, what else is there?" Emperor Jingrun said.
Fang Zhiyong continued to answer: "He said that in order to avoid a long night and many dreams, only the veteran is allowed to take one person to exchange hostages. The location is in Taiping Peaceful Forest, and the time limit is one hour."
"I hope the Holy One will punish me for my incompetence in doing my job!"
After saying that, Fang Zhiyong grabbed the ground with his head in fear.
Emperor Jingrun remained silent, and for a while, the study was as quiet as death. Only the sound of Fang Zhiyong's kowtow could be heard clearly.
"Master, there is no need to be like this. Ye Qing is too cunning."
After a while, Emperor Jingrun seemed to have thought of Fang Zhiyong and signaled to Fang Zhiyong that he did not have to do this. After Fang Zhiyong stopped kowtowing, Emperor Jingrun asked again: "Then do you think he has any conspiracy?"
Fang Zhiyong thought about it: "I don't think so. From yesterday to now, it has been less than one day, and during this day, Ye Qing has been under our surveillance most of the time. He has basically not contacted anyone and has no time to do anything." arrange."
"So, Wei Chen doesn't think Ye Qing has any conspiracy."
