"Is there a disaster star coming?" Su Ziji's eyes narrowed, and he didn't say whether he believed it or not. He hesitated and asked, "Can you explain it in more detail?"
Just say that a disaster star is coming, does this disaster star refer to a person or something? If it refers to a person, when did he come, and what kind of person he is, you should also ask about this.
Otherwise, just the people who come into the city every day will be lost in the sea. Finding people without any information will be as difficult as finding a needle in a haystack.
Zhou Yao's snow-white little ears twitched slightly, her body trembled, and she murmured to Su Ziji: "It's a new person who entered the city today. At least he looks like a human being. Now he seems to be protected by the Sanskrit Dharma and can't be found."
Su Ziji listened and nodded: "I understand. If you can get the news, tell me. I'm very grateful. Do you want to see Bu Regret?"
Zhou Yao shook her head: "It's presumptuous to come today. In fact, I still have something to do, so I won't bother you without regrets. It's time for me to go."
Su Ziji thought that Zhou Yao had no ability to protect herself now, and with her current change in temperament and appearance, if she continued to stay in the city, if she attracted other people's attention, she was afraid that even wearing a black wooden bracelet would not be able to protect her. just in case.
So Su Ziji stood up, walked a few steps to see each other off, and reminded him pointedly: "Miss Zhou, have you been to Princess Xinping's Taoist temple? I have nothing to do these days, why not go see the princess, or have your benefit."
Zhou Yao listened thoughtfully.
After sending her out, Su Ziji stood on the steps of the side hall and caught a glimpse of a wild Taoist standing not far away looking "sneakily" at Zhou Yao. He shook his head speechlessly.
"Lord." Looking away, the wild Taoist walked forward and bowed.
"I just happened to have something to ask you." Su Ziji did not ask the wild Taoist what he had just seen, but directly told the wild Taoist what Zhou Yao reminded him.
The wild Taoist frowned after hearing this: "This matter..."
"I believe her." Su Ziji said, "Besides, the news is really wrong, and it won't do us any harm. You go and check the people who came to the city today and are related to the temple."
The wild Taoist nodded in agreement and hurried out.
Su Ziji stood on the steps, looking at the lush greenery in the distance. The spring was getting stronger day by day, and the peach blossoms were blooming. However, he pursed his lips and lowered his eyes, half a shadow of the rosewood.
"[Panlong Heart Technique] Level 16 (15999/16000)"
"These days, I have been working tirelessly every day to study and understand. With my current qualification of 20 and intelligence of 20, I can gain 5 to 6 points of forced experience in one go."
"I finally reached the top, but just like before, I can't break through without the seed of humanity."
"The easiest way to achieve humanity is to become a king."
"But the promotion to Duke Dai is already a calculated result. Now this entanglement cannot force the emperor to make the decision to make himself king. There must be some important medicine. Whose important medicine can I borrow?"
royal palace
In the Dragon Case in the Imperial Study Room, Huo Wuyong, the Taoist priest in charge of refining the Great Return Pill, was kneeling on the ground.
The emperor sitting behind the dragon case had a gloomy face. The king's anger was enough to frighten people. Although Huo Wuyong had some cultivation skills, he was breaking out in a cold sweat at this moment.
"So, up to now, the materials for the Great Return Pill have not been found?" The report said a lot, but in summary, this is what it meant. How could the emperor be satisfied?
Huo Wuyong hurriedly replied: "Your Majesty, all the medicine has been gathered, all that is left is the Qiqiao Exquisite Heart."
"Of course I know that this is the only thing missing now. The question is, how can I find this flavor? Without this flavor, I can't start refining the Great Return Pill. When can I wait until the Great Return Pill is successfully refined? Huh?"
The emperor patted the dragon case gently, his voice filled with coldness.
"Since we can't find it near the capital, we will continue to expand the scope and look for it in various places! If we can't find it in Dazheng, we will go to the outside world! I don't believe it. It's just the Qiqiao Exquisite Heart, but it really can't be found!"
"...Yes!" Huo Wuyong did not dare to argue and could only respond in a low voice.
"Okay, you step down first." Because he was dissatisfied with the efficiency of these people, the emperor gave Huo Wuyong a beating and asked him to step down.
Huo Wuyong walked out of the imperial study with an expressionless expression, and happened to come face to face with Eunuch Zhao who was walking in a hurry.
Eunuch Zhao was also very polite to Huo Wuyong, a Taoist priest who was refining alchemy in the palace. The two simply nodded to each other and passed by.
But from Huo Wuyong's expression, Eunuch Zhao could tell that in the imperial study room, he was afraid that the emperor would not be in a good mood.
Sure enough, as soon as he entered, the atmosphere was a little tense. The eunuch standing in the corner wanted to hold his breath. After Eunuch Zhao came in, he stood aside with his hands down.
"What have Duke Dai been doing recently? Can you still cope with it?" The emperor ignored him. After a long time, he finished approving a document and then looked at it and asked.
Eunuch Zhao hurriedly took a few steps forward and bowed: "Your Majesty, Eunuch Dai is running quite well in Yulinwei. He took advantage of the shortfall to attack, promoted people, and got Bi Xin and a few hundred households to get closer. This can be regarded as some achievements."
"But as long as the people of King Qi and King of Shu are attacking, the people of Yu Linwei will not be able to rest assured. It seems that there is not much improvement."
"Yeah?"
It was clear that he had previously issued a decree to appoint Duke Dai as the commander of the Yulin Guards, just to draw the attention of the two kings away from him and make them fight together, but after hearing the news, the emperor didn't know what was going on. There was irritability again.
"The King of Qi and the people of the King of Shu have joined forces?"
Without waiting for Eunuch Zhao's reply, the emperor added: "Yes, although my two sons seem to be incompatible, at this time, it would be strange not to join forces."
After hearing this, Eunuch Zhao lowered his head and hunched his waist, not daring to say a word.
The emperor was silent for a while and then asked: "There is no movement in Yong'an Palace? The Queen didn't help?"
Eunuch Zhao bowed his head and replied: "Back to the emperor, the queen held a banquet instead and invited the nobles' female relatives. She also tried hard to win over some people on behalf of the Duke, but... some nobles sold some face and went back. I scolded the younger generation, but I didn’t show it to the Queen, so there’s no way I can tell.”
"Some are still waiting and watching, while others are getting more serious and turning against Duke Dai."
With that said, Eunuch Zhao mentioned several people from Yu Linwei, including Xu Wei, the second son of Duke Xing.
"What is the command of the Yulin Guards?" The emperor was really impressed by this person.
After all, there are 6,000 people in the Yulin Guard, and more than 100 households are basically from noble families. The more common ones may be from the side branches of some noble nobles. Those who reach high positions are usually the direct branches of the noble nobles who still have great influence to this day. This Xu The Wei is the second son of Duke Xing. In addition to the commander, the Yulin Guard has only one commander and two commanders. He is considered the highest level in the army, so the emperor will naturally be impressed.
This person is actually from the Second King?
The emperor's heart tightened. According to assumptions, if the two kings and Duke Dai were in a team, the chaos should last for several years. Although it was chaotic, it was balanced, and the three-legged tripartite confrontation was the most stable.
How come it was only a few days before Dai Guogong was beaten so hard that he couldn't fight back? The Great Returning Pill has not been refined yet. In terms of time, how much longer can it be delayed? "
"Is it because Duke Dai's status is too low to form a party?"
