"I thought that summoning a large number of strange people into the palace this time would make these two guys a little restrained. Unexpectedly, they actually killed them all in my imperial garden and gave them to me directly. Here comes a show of force."
"The slaves also feel that they have gone too far this time."
"No." But then, King Chu Huai lost his temper again, "Are they really going to force me to have no way out?"
"I don't think we will lose."
"Oh, Eunuch Li, do you have any advice?"
"I can't speak of high opinions." Eunuch Li said: "Although they appear to be pressing forward step by step, they are actually still wary of the treasures on the imperial mausoleum behind His Majesty."
"That being said, I couldn't open the imperial mausoleum. You think it's irritating." King Huai of Chu sighed: "I don't know if our ancestors did it intentionally, but I couldn't do anything at the time. , If I hadn’t borrowed the help of the national master at that time, I’m afraid this country would have already belonged to my second uncle.”
Eunuch Li stood aside and said nothing. He, an eunuch, was not in a position to intervene in the fight between their uncle and nephew for the throne.
"But then, I also became troubled by raising tigers." King Huai of Chu said in his own words: "If I had known that I would let my second uncle take the throne back then, I would be free, traveling around the world, free and easy, and I would not be in the current situation. The surname changes from country to country."
Eunuch Li was stunned. He never imagined that the once aloof and arrogant King Huai of Chu would actually say this.
"It's very good that General Yue Long is loyal and does not stand with them. Otherwise, I would have become a prisoner a few years ago." King Huai of Chu continued to think about himself.
"But the Song Dynasty suddenly went south and attacked our Chu Kingdom at Hulao Pass. I was caught off guard. I had to put down the strategy I had planned for several years and pretend to be crazy. I had to lie drunk on the knees of beautiful women all day long, making them think that I was weak and incompetent. But this time they are really going to push me to a dead end."
Eunuch Li suddenly remembered something again and said, "I once overheard Grand Master Wang talking about his son practicing in the Immortal Sect. Why don't we ask his son to come down the mountain to help me get out of this crisis?"
King Chu Huai's eyes lit up, but then dimmed: "I no longer know the details of Grand Master Wang. If we are at a loss and ask the sect behind Grand Master Wang's son for help, but after defeating the enemy, if they want to control my country, Will I give in or not?"
Eunuch Li also frowned and said nothing.
"At today's morning meeting, Zhang Pingyang directly criticized me and made me look shameless. I'm not nice..."
When he said this, a sharp voice suddenly came from outside the royal study: "Your Majesty, it's not good."
"What's wrong? What a fuss." Eunuch Li glared at the little eunuch waiting outside the study.
"Get up and talk." Chu Huai said to the little eunuch outside the study.
The little eunuch stood up slightly, lowered his head and said, "Zhang, Prime Minister Zhang led people to surround the palace."
King Chu Huai was stunned for a moment, then became furious: "Who gave them the order?"
The young eunuch was startled and quickly knelt down and said, "He, they said it was an order from the emperor to seize the Wang Taishi's mansion."
"What? They dared to falsely pass on my orders and harm Zhongliang. They are really bold and reckless." King Huai of Chu suddenly stood up, "Be prepared, I want to see if Prime Minister Zhang really doesn't take me seriously. It’s in.”
"Your Majesty, think twice before you act." Eunuch Li who was on the side said quickly: "That Prime Minister Zhang has done this and that, I am afraid that he has not taken His Majesty's attention for a long time. If we go up here, we will definitely play into the hands of the enemy. At this time, we should mobilize the troops in the palace to guard the gate of Chaotian Palace."
"But I can't swallow this breath. I don't believe that he will really kill me in front of the whole city. Moreover, Taishi Wang has the support of the Immortal Sect behind him. If we don't help Taishi Wang at this time, I'm afraid that he will be killed again when the time comes. It will create a more powerful enemy."
"Sure enough, His Majesty has thought carefully."
"Stop flattering me." King Chu Huai said again: "Let General Zhuo bring some imperial troops over and follow me out of the palace."
"yes."
Cangzhou, the main road of Dongcheng, Taishi Mansion.
"Dad, it's not good."
"Why are you so panicked?"
"Our mansion is surrounded by a group of soldiers."
"Soldiers? Where did the soldiers come from?"
"It seems to be someone led by Prime Minister Zhang."
"Prime Minister Zhang?" Wang Yi frowned and said quickly: "Go and notify Gu Tongwei and ask him to bring all the strong men in the mansion."
"Gu Tongwei has already brought people there."
Wang Yi paused and said, "We will go there too."
With that said, Wang Yi and Wang Shiliang walked quickly towards the door of the mansion.
Wang Luoyi leaned against the window listlessly, looking at the scenery outside, feeling very melancholy. She and the young Taoist priest had been separated for almost several months, and they had not yet met each other.
She blamed herself a little, why she didn't be braver and express her love at that time. Even if she was rejected, she wouldn't be as uncomfortable as she is now.
"Brother Lin, are we really destined to be different? Xiaoyi just wants to hear you reject me in person, not your subtle roundabout ways."
"It is said that immortals and mortals are impossible, but I still want to give it a try. Even if I am rejected in person, Xiaoyi will not regret it. However, when I really meet you, I will have the courage to express my love. ?"
Wang Luoyi was not sure whether he would really dare to express his feelings to Brother Lin when he actually met him.
"Miss, something serious has happened."
At this time, Xiaoli's voice came from outside the window.
"You little girl, why are you in such a panic?" Wang Luoyi then patted Xiaoli's bun outside the window and scolded with a smile.
Her attic room only has one floor, and the window is also open on the first floor. Even if Xiaoli, a short girl, stands up, she can reach the window sill.
"Old, master..."
"Speak slowly, be careful if you bite your tongue, it will hurt you to death." Wang Luoyi laughed and scolded, suddenly stunned, and said anxiously: "What do you think is wrong with my father?"
"Old, master, he, he will be taken away by the officers and soldiers!"
"What happened? Why did they take my father away?" Although Wang Royi was anxious, he did not lose his composure.
"They said that I was a daemon, colluded with the enemy's spies, killed many casual cultivators and court officials in Chaotian Palace, and committed the crime of collaborating with the enemy and treason."
"It's impossible. My father has been staying in the house all the time. He has no time to collude with demons and spies. They must have made a mistake."
"The master also said it, but they didn't listen. They insisted on forcing the master to be put in the prison and left to his own devices."
"If there is no evidence, can we arrest someone directly?"
"They said no, and they said it was an order from the emperor."
"Your Majesty? You told your father not to return to the court and become an official, but he just refused to listen. Xiaoli, take me with you."
"yes."
Wang Luoyi knew that if she went up, she wouldn't be able to help. At most, she would just talk, but she was not good at this job, so what should she do?
"Master Wang, you'd better stay calm and don't make any useless resistance. Otherwise, I, the Prime Minister, will join the Emperor's side and accuse you of resisting the imperial edict and violating the king's law."
"I don't believe it." Wang Yi said in a loud voice: "I will ask the emperor in front of him personally if he really wants to put me in prison."
"You really don't want to drink wine as a penalty, Master Wang. I wanted to give you face when I had a meeting with your colleagues. It seems that you really don't want it this time?"
"Bah, Zhang Pifu, who cares about the face you gave me?" Wang Yi spat in his direction.
"Since you don't need it, I'll just let your house be ransacked."
"I guess that one dares." Gu Changshou pulled out his sword and laid it on the ground, glaring at the large group of formidable soldiers in front of him, still without the slightest hint of fear.
"Tsk, tsk, are you really going to rebel?" Prime Minister Zhang was stunned. He didn't expect that the people in the palace were not as careless as before, greedy for life and afraid of death.
"Reverse? When did we say contrary? Old man, stop slandering our Wang family again." Wang Shiliang also plucked up the courage to mutter to the side: "My eldest brother is an immortal practicing in the Immortal Sect. If you dare to touch our Wang family, you will Aren’t you afraid of my elder brother’s revenge?”
Immortal gate?
Prime Minister Zhang was stunned. He didn't expect that the Wang family would really be included in the Immortal Sect, and he didn't know what to do for a moment.
"Immortal Sect? Haha, what about the Immortal Sect on your Wang family list? You might as well talk about it." The leisurely Imperial Master who was fighting with the crickets suddenly turned around and snorted coldly.
"Pick, pick..." Wang Shiliang touched the back of his head and couldn't remember for a moment.
“Stargazing.”
At this time, a woman's voice came from the palace, and then, a beautiful figure pushed aside the crowd and came to Wang Yi. Behind the woman, there was another maid with a bun on her head.
The Protector's eyes couldn't help but light up as he looked at the two women who suddenly appeared. He thought to himself: "This daughter born to Wang Pifu is quite beautiful. Although she is not as plump as my eldest disciple, judging from her appearance, she should not be as plump as my eldest disciple." Marrying someone, if you let me develop it, it will be just like a dream in just a few months."
Although the protector of the country was thinking this, he actually sneered: "I have never heard of the Star Reaching Observation. Even if there is such a sect of cultivating immortals, it is difficult to reach the level of elegance."
"Huh, words are good." Wang Shiliang laughed and said, "Are you scared, old man?"
"Will I be afraid? Like these immortal cultivating sects, they will kill as many as they come..." The national master's voice suddenly stopped, he looked at the young boy and said coldly: "Are you scolding me?"
"So what if I scold you?"
"court death."
The Imperial Master took back the cage in his hand, waved his hand, and brought out a strong wind. As soon as the wild hunting wind swept away, Wang Shiliang's thin body flew backwards.
"younger brother."
"Shiliang."
Wang Shiliang bumped into the crowd and knocked over several people in succession. Only then did he stop retreating, but he saw blood vomiting from his mouth and his face turned pale.
"You're just an ant, but you dare to scold me? If you weren't a member of the emperor, I would slap you to death with one slap."
"Oh, since the Imperial Master cares about me, why not let them all go?"
At this time, a voice came from far behind the crowd, and then a sharp voice sounded again: "The Emperor has arrived."
Hearing the words, everyone turned around and saw a fat man wearing a gold silk robe with a four-clawed golden dragon tattooed on it, rushing towards here like a star and a moon.
Behind the man, there were dozens of other guardsmen holding weapons and wearing armor, with stern expressions.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty?" Prime Minister Zhang was stunned, his voice trembling.
King Chu Huai came to Prime Minister Zhang, glanced at him, and suddenly snorted: "Take it down!"
Two imperial soldiers rushed out from behind King Huai of Chu, and cuffed Prime Minister Zhang's shoulders on both sides with an expressionless expression.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, what are you doing?" Prime Minister Zhang pretended to be confused, but he already knew it deep down.
"What are you doing?" King Chu Huai snorted coldly: "You forged a false imperial edict, trained your own private soldiers, and led people to surround the palace of the imperial officials. You are so bold and have no law."
