After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the streets in the imperial capital became even more festive. There was a three-day lantern festival on the west bank of the city. Even the academy, which was not disturbed by the outside world, had a lively and joyful atmosphere.
Shen Yu looked at the big red lanterns hanging high on both sides of the academy gate, thinking that they really looked like the two big eyes of the red tail of the deep sea.
In the distance, Li Wudi jumped up and ran over, holding two bunches of candied haws in both hands, and said cheerfully: "Happy Mid-Autumn Festival!"
Shen Yu said calmly: "It's very disingenuous to say this after the festival."
Her Highness the Princess wrinkled her tall and delicate nose and said, "Don't be so stingy, here! I specially asked someone to make a custom-made invincible gourd skewer for you."
Shen Yu shook his head slightly, vaguely remembering that this was the most unpalatable food in the world.
Shen Yu said: "How did you read today's book?"
The young man rolled his eyes, "There is a Lantern Festival in the west of the city today, and the mountains are really lively. Why don't I take you for a walk?"
Shen Yu still shook his head.
The girl's eyes widened and she said angrily, "You are such a boring person."
Shen Yu heard this comment and smiled for some reason. He sat on the recliner and said, "I remember that the academy assessment will start after the Lantern Festival is over. Remember to pass the assessment when you come back from playing."
The girl's head hurt when she heard this. She sighed and suddenly said with a suspicious look on her face: "Why are you so concerned about my affairs? You don't know how to..."
The girl's eyes widened and she exclaimed, "You won't like me! I'm telling you, it's impossible for us! The person I like is really awesome."
Shen Yu said calmly: "You owe me a favor, you should always do me a favor."
Li Wudi scratched his head and said cutely: "What are you doing?"
Shen Yu said seriously: "Take me to see your father."
Li Wudi almost spit out all the candied haws in his mouth and said in surprise: "Do you know who my father is?"
Shen Yu said calmly: "The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty."
The fallen leaves fell to the ground in silence, even at the gate.
Li Wudi's eyes changed, becoming cautious and sensitive, as if he were a kitten sensing danger.
This is probably the natural instinct of people in the royal family.
"What do you want to do?" Li Wudi subconsciously took two steps back.
Shen Yu asked: "What are you worried about? Are you still afraid of what I will do to your father?"
Li Wudi's face turned red and he snorted coldly: "Although my father has been busy with political affairs these years, his cultivation has secretly surpassed ninety-nine percent of the great practitioners in the world. What's more, he is invincible in the imperial capital. !Am I still afraid of you?"
Shen Yu was stunned for a moment, and then joked: "Today, everyone is speculating whether the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty can practice cultivation, and how deep his realm is, something that even the land of Qianchuan cannot find out... And if your father knew that there was A daughter like you will definitely be very happy."
Li Wudi's eyes widened, he immediately covered his mouth and shook his head desperately.
Shen Yu said calmly: "I want to ask him a few things. It has nothing to do with you, so you don't have to worry about anything."
Shen Yu looked very serious when he spoke. In fact, he didn't lie.
Teaching the little girl in front of him to understand the meaning of the sword was the original purpose.
The girl said: "You are from the Dao Sect."
Shen Yu nodded and said, "Yes."
Li Wudi was silent for a long time and said, "Let me think about it."
Shen Yu said: "Okay."
"If I fail the academy's assessment this time."
The girl blinked her eyes and said, "What should I do?"
Shen Yu said: "Then you don't have to promise me anything."
The girl nodded heavily, "Okay!"
...
Li Wudi seemed to feel that he was finally alone and had successfully negotiated something important enough to go down in history. With a proud look on his face, he ran out to play happily and contentedly.
Shen Yu looked at the girl's retreating back and looked in the direction of the palace, not knowing what she was thinking.
At this moment, a swishing sound came from the surroundings.
It was footsteps, a lot of footsteps, approaching the academy from all directions with a light and neat pace.
Shen Yu's eyes drooped slightly.
A moment later, a middle-aged man in official uniform strode in with a majestic expression.
Behind him were countless officers and soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, wearing iron armor and holding spears, with an extraordinary momentum.
Shen Yu knew that this was the Yulin Guards in the Imperial Capital, also known as the legendary Forbidden Army.
Habayashi Wei usually only hides in the palace, but now he is here. Such a big battle seems to really value him.
The middle-aged official said calmly: "I suspect that you are related to the murder case of the Shen family in Nanhe City ten years ago. Now you are going to be arrested and tried. You must not resist, otherwise..."
Shen Yu frowned. The Tang Dynasty was at its peak, and now even Dali became the territory of the Tang Dynasty.
Without thinking much, Shen Yu smiled and said, "How?"
The middle-aged official said calmly: "Kill without mercy."
Shen Yu's face was expressionless. He knew that he would not be so relaxed all day after arriving in the imperial capital, but he did not expect that anyone would use that incident as a reason.
Nanhe City was a territory belonging to the Dali Dynasty, and now it became the territory of Datang. Naturally, the case of Nanhe City was taken over by Datang.
He had a knot in his heart about what happened to the Shen family ten years ago and had never mentioned it to anyone. But now that the old story was deliberately brought up again, he naturally felt a little bad.
The surrounding Yulin guards are naturally practitioners, and at this moment, their aura is locked on the young man in green shirt in front of him.
It seemed that if he dared to make the slightest move, he would be killed with thunderous force.
It was extremely strange for the Tang Dynasty to arrest the Dao Sect disciples in the academy. It could be said that there was an entanglement between three parties.
The atmosphere was extremely solemn.
At this moment of stalemate, a gentle voice came from the academy, "Just go ahead, it doesn't matter."
The middle-aged official couldn't help but change his face slightly when he heard that someone was speaking out in the academy.
When Shen Yu heard this, he was silent for a while and said, "Let's go."
...
The person who captured Shen Yu was Wang Zhixuan, the Minister of Punishment. Normally, things like this would not require his presence in person, but this time it obviously meant that he was determined to win the matter.
Shen Yu was imprisoned in the Prison Department Prison and no one was allowed to visit.
This situation is very similar to when I thought about crossing the cliff in Qinglu Hall.
Shen Yu stood on the ground piled with withered grass, thinking silently.
Who is it?
The incident had been suppressed within the Dao Sect, and Lu Wenyu, who was sent by the academy to try the case, didn't even say anything more.
In addition, Shen Yu's reputation in Daozong has been getting higher and higher in recent years. According to common sense, this matter will be regarded as the dust of history, gradually erased, and then completely disappeared.
But now it has been revealed, who is it and how dare you?
Although Shen Yu didn't care, he was very curious.
Because he couldn't figure out who was behind the scenes.
There were some people in the cell, most of them were strong men with sharp eyes. At this moment, they looked at each other and slowly stood up.
Shen Yu saw the knives they held from their waists behind them, and their auras were obviously that of practitioners.
It's strange that knives are allowed in the prison and there are so many practitioners, but it's also obvious at the same time.
Shen Yu shook his head slightly. If he were an ordinary Jindan realm practitioner, he might really suffer a big loss here.
But it is obvious that he is not an ordinary Jindan realm.
So the next thing you could hear was the cracking sound of broken bones. For less than half an hour, the men who had obviously been sent in deliberately were wailing in pain and rolling on the ground.
Shen Yu still stood there quietly, wondering whether you underestimated me or yourself.
In less than a moment, Wang Zhixuan appeared outside the cell with a group of people, his face gloomy and his eyes light.
With a wave of his hand, several people came and carried the trash out.
Wang Zhixuan said indifferently: "The evidence of what happened in Nanhe City back then is conclusive, and you have no room to refute."
Shen Yu looked at him as if he were a fool.
He said those things clearly and clearly in front of the Dao Sect Patriarch's Hall back then. As for the conclusive evidence, it is really too ridiculous.
Wang Zhixuan's expression became increasingly grim and he said, "You don't plead guilty?"
Shen Yu closed his eyes, finally confirming something in his heart, and stopped talking at the same time.
I don’t know how long it took, but the prison became quiet and empty again.
A night of silence.
When the sky was about to get dark, Shen Yu opened his eyes, thinking that the real master was coming.
