The Prime Minister's Mansion shrouded in darkness.
Prime Minister Liu Yong stood up in his clothes and walked out directly.
After leaving the room, Xiaoyue was already standing there waiting in the moonlight.
"Sir, it's almost time, I should go over."
Liu Yong nodded: "Be careful in everything. Go through the back door. When you arrive, bring people over directly through the back door."
Xiaoyue smiled slightly: "You don't need to come out, adults."
Liu Yong walked gently to Xiaoyue and held Xiaoyue in his arms: "Be careful in everything and come back safely."
Xiaoyue chuckled and pushed Liu Yong gently: "Your Excellency, you are very bold today. Aren't you afraid that Madam will see you?"
Liu Yong smiled: "Madam has already planned to let me take you in. After you finish your affairs this time, I will officially take you into my house."
"Master Prime Minister, I am a member of Maitreya Buddhism. Aren't you afraid?"
"Afraid? I am the prime minister of the dynasty. Who dares to say anything about marrying one or two wives?"
Xiaoyue smiled lightly, turned around and walked towards the back door: "Don't worry, this time, I will bring Liu Yijin's head over."
The moon hung high in the sky, and the watchman's sound could be heard on the street. Liu Yijin stood up and said with a smile: "Here he comes."
Three wake-up calls sounded outside, followed by a dull knock on the door. Liu Yijin turned around and looked at Chun Xia standing next to him: "The next step is up to you. If you want to survive, what's the last step? Just do as I say."
Chun Xia walked to the door with a pale face and whispered: "Who?"
"Maitreya Buddha is born and will rule that world."
The sound outside the door made Chunxia look slightly pale.
Liu Yijin stepped forward with a smile and gently opened the door, and a pretty face appeared in front of him.
Countless torches appeared all around instantly, surrounding them.
Liu Yijin looked at the watchman with a surprised look on his face. He had red lips and white teeth and was pretty. He could tell at a glance that he was a woman disguised as a man.
"Hello, Miss Xiaoyue."
Xiaoyue's face changed drastically and she hurriedly said: "Liu Yijin!"
Liu Yijin laughed: "I didn't expect you to recognize me."
Xiaoyue glanced around, her eyes falling coldly on Chunxia: "I never expected that you would dare to betray the Holy Religion!"
Chunxia trembled all over: "Sister Xiaoyue..."
Xiaoyue sneered and knocked Chunxia away in front of her with one palm, and then grabbed Liu Yijin with her hands like an eagle.
"Bold!" Several wolf guards on the side clapped their hands together, but what they didn't expect was that Xiaoyue's figure in front of them flashed past like a butterfly.
Seeing that a lightning-fast palm was about to hit his chest, Liu Yijin directly raised his hand to meet the palm, and his figure suddenly retreated.
The surrounding wolf guards immediately surrounded him and slashed him with several long knives.
Xiaoyue's figure was like lightning, she took a step forward with a sneer, and then a cold light flashed out from her waist, like a poisonous snake spitting out a message and heading towards Liu Yijin to kill him.
"Dog officer, I'm going to kill your dog today!"
Several Wolf Guard masters were unable to stop a woman, which made Liu Yijin's expression become solemn.
Xiaoyue's eyes were cold, and the soft sword in her hand was like a poisonous snake, accurately taking away the life of a wolf guard every time.
Liu Yijin's face was cold and he took the long knife directly from Yuan Shuo's hand: "You guys stand back!"
Xiaoyue looked at Liu Yijin, who was charging forward with a big knife, and smiled coldly: "Seeking death!"
But when the soft sword in her hand touched the big knife, Xiaoyue's face suddenly showed a look of horror.
Because the other party's internal energy surged like the water of a long river.
Xiaoyue turned her wrist, and the sharp soft sword bent into an arc, and the cold sword blade cut across, directly towards Liu Yijin's neck.
Liu Yijin's expression changed drastically. He held the sword with two hands instead of holding it with one hand. His left hand pointed at the sword in front of him. The sword in his right hand rotated in a circle in his palm, and the back of the sword directly struck Xiaoyue's shoulder.
Xiaoyue was in pain and her body retreated violently.
Liu Yijin stepped forward again, his steps slightly slightly, his body rising into the air and spinning in mid-air, holding the knife in both hands and slashing down boldly.
Xiaoyue's eyes were cold, and the soft sword in her hand was as hard as steel under the influence of internal force.
The swords collided, sparking a bright fire. There was a crisp sound, and the sword suddenly broke from it. Liu Yijin's sword was directly placed across Xiaoyue's neck: "You lose."
Xiaoyue looked at Liu Yijin coldly, and a strange smile suddenly flashed across her face: "I lost? That's not necessarily the case!"
Liu Yijin looked at the flush on Xiaoyue's face, and suddenly his expression changed drastically, and he retreated violently: "Quickly retreat!"
The people around looked at Xiaoyue's flushed face, and suddenly their expressions changed in shock, and they all dispersed around.
There was a terrifying sound, and countless bloodshot threads scattered like long arrows. The surrounding wolf guards suddenly fell to the ground, and screams came one after another.
"Sir, she is dead." Yuan Shuo looked at the blood on the ground with horrified eyes.
Liu Yijin's face was solemn. He did not expect that this woman could be so cruel and even gave up the chance of survival.
"Sir, should we go directly to the Prime Minister's Mansion?"
Liu Yijin sighed: "Even if Xiaoyue is from the Prime Minister's Office, but now she has no evidence, even if we come to her, will the Prime Minister recognize her?"
The joy deep in Liu Yijin's heart disappeared.
Seeing that success is imminent, as long as we can catch Xiaoyue, we will directly examine the prime minister when the time comes, and even if we can't defeat him, we will make the other party take advantage of him.
Who would have thought that Xiaoyue would explode directly!
Mengyao and Lan Yuer were also in a depressed mood. Xiaoyue's death directly cut off all the clues.
A good game of chess was directly disrupted by Xiaoyue's death.
Chun Xia on the side turned pale with fright, looking at the blood on the ground blankly.
"Xiaoyue is dead, Xiaoyue is dead. Haha, Xiaoyue is dead!"
Chunxia suddenly started shouting like crazy.
Lan Yu'er's expression on the side changed drastically, and the silver needle in her hand pierced Chun Xia's head like lightning: "I can only ensure that she is awake for the time being. If you have anything to ask, it's best to do it as soon as possible."
Liu Yijin glanced at Chun Xia, sighed and said, "I leave this matter to you. Be sure to ask where the other party's personnel are recruited from."
Liu Yijin walked out of the door. The wolf guards were treating the wounded. Looking at dozens of injured, Liu Yijin felt heavy.
"Sir, are you in a bad mood?" Mengyao stepped forward gently.
"I just didn't expect that person named Xiaoyue to have such a strong character."
"I don't think she's strong, but stupid." A hint of coldness flashed across Mengyao's face: "I felt pity for her just now, but now I'm just filled with sadness and fear."
Liu Yijin knew what Mengyao meant. What was the difference between this kind of Maitreya Buddhism and the terrorism of later generations?
Relying on stupid ideas and radical methods to control the congregation, he can achieve his own ulterior secrets.
Ordinary people cannot understand these things clearly. In their eyes, they may only see the court arresting people and even forcing young women to blow themselves up.
But is all this really the fault of the court?
Liu Yijin has been in this dynasty for some time. From the beginning, he wanted to make money and fight for power by any means at all, and now he has become the head of the Supervision Department. Although he knows that he is a knife in the hands of the empress, but when the good and evil of human nature are put aside, No one can treat it calmly when it is placed in front of them.
"Maitreya Buddhism is a cult organization. If they are allowed to develop, it will cause deep harm to the Daqian Dynasty."
"The Xiaoyue we saw today may be just a fragment of it. Is there a greater hidden danger hidden in other places in the Daqian Dynasty, even above the temple?"
Liu Yijin looked at Mengyao with burning eyes: "Mengyao, what do you think I should do?"
Mengyao hesitated slightly: "Sir, in fact, this matter has nothing to do with you. Why do you put so much pressure on yourself, the officials and generals of the Daqian Dynasty?"
Liu Yijin shook his head: "Ever since I first interacted with Maitreya Buddhism, I have been inseparable from them."
"Besides, many high-level officials of Maitreya Buddhism died in my hands. Even if I want to quit now, do you think Maitreya Buddhism will let me go?"
"Besides, although I, Liu Yijin, don't have big ambitions, I can't ignore things like this that threaten the court and endanger the people."
Mengyao was slightly in a daze. If in her eyes Liu Yijin was just a person who kept climbing up and was even a little money-stricken, now he has become a figure like a towering tree in her eyes.
Mengyao didn't believe that a long-term trade union could be so broad-minded. She wanted to know what kind of person Liu Yijin was. He was like a treasure, waiting for her to dig out and explore.
"Sir, you..."
Mengyao was about to speak but stopped.
Lan Yu'er came over: "Sir, I asked, these Maitreya Buddhists are all from Hantong Village outside the city.
"Hantong Village?"
Liu Yijin was stunned: "Didn't Wang Han arrange his wife and son in Hantong Village?"
"Come here, open the city gates overnight and surround Hantong Village!"
Chunxia was escorted directly back to the Supervision Department by the wolf guards, while Liu Yijin led the others directly towards the city gate.
Although there was no curfew in the Daqian Dynasty, the city gates were heavily guarded.
When Liu Yijin led a group of wolf guards from the Supervision Department to not far from the city gate, they saw a group of soldiers waiting in front.
"Who is coming!"
The first general rode out, wearing white bright silver armor and holding a long spear in his hand. His eyes were cold and cautious.
Liu Yijin got off the horse and handed over his badge of the Supervision Department: "The Supervision Department needs to go out of the city to handle the case, and I hope the general will be accommodating."
When the general heard that he was from the Supervision Department, he couldn't help but snorted coldly. He took Liu Yijin's waist badge and looked at it: "Are you Liu Yijin, Chief Liu?"
Liu Yijin saw the contempt in the other person's eyes and couldn't help but frown slightly: "This general, who are you?"
"Liao Ding, Commander of the Imperial City Guard Corps!"
Liu Yijin then remembered that the empress had accidentally mentioned this person to him, but now the guard regiment belonged to Liu Yijin and he was mobilized. Liao Ding, the regiment leader, liked to have nothing to do during the day, but at night he could only take a walk behind the closed city wall. .
Now that he saw Liu Yijin, he became even more angry: "Liu Sishou, if you want to leave the city so late, you must have a handwriting from His Majesty or the Prime Minister."
Liu Yijin smiled and said: "Things were in such a hurry that I didn't even have time to enter the palace to ask for His Majesty's instructions. Do you think I can make up for it later?"
Liao Ding glanced at Liu Yijin: "Make up for it later? If everyone says this, then what's the use of me as a legion commander, and where will the safety of the imperial capital be concerned?"
"Just ignore it and let people come in and out."
Liu Yijin frowned: "General, this matter is important, and the opportunity to fight is fleeting. I hope the general will open the city gate quickly and let us pass."
"no!"
Liao Ding flatly refused: "Without His Majesty's formalities and without the approval of the Prime Minister, this city gate cannot be opened!"
Yuan Shuo on the side said angrily: "Why are you so unreasonable? Our Supervision Department handles cases with great urgency. If the criminal is let go because of you, can you bear this responsibility?"
Liao Ding glanced at Yuan Shuo and saw that the latter was only wearing ordinary clothes of the Supervision Department. He couldn't help but snorted: "Who do you think you are? You dare to squeak in front of me. If you are interested, you can do it now." Get lost, otherwise don’t blame me for being rude!”
Liu Yijin took a deep breath: "General, it is related to Maitreya Buddhism, and I hope you will open the city gate."
Liao Ding glanced at the people around him and said proudly, "You just let me go?"
