When Shuhua released the resentful baby, Lu Jing knew there must be something wrong with it.
Because Si Tianjian has monitored the human world for thousands of years, he has already confirmed one thing, that is, there are no monsters or monsters in this world, but only various weird things, and all the weird things are unique.
There may be similarities between monsters and monsters, but they are definitely not exactly the same.
The calligraphy and painting talked a lot about the origin of the resentful baby, deliberately describing it as a kind of ghost. However, the more truthfully he told it, the more it showed that he was lying.
However, Lu Jing didn't expose him on the spot. Firstly, he wanted to see what kind of tricks this guy was playing. Secondly, seeing Zhu Jie like this, Zhu Jie probably wouldn't listen even if he told him, so he didn't waste his words.
It wasn't until later that Zhu Jie opened his mouth to angrily scold the resentful baby, but the more Lu Jing listened, the more something was wrong.
Why does the Zhaozong mentioned by Zhu Jie look so much like the Hanshanke who devoted himself to alchemy in Jinghu Valley? Moreover, what the Resentful Infant said afterwards was like directly confirming this point.
Lu Jing had already guessed about Hanshanke's identity. He expected that he should be a member of the clan. However, firstly, he was not very familiar with the princes and princesses of the Chen Dynasty. Secondly, although Hanshanke didn't look like much, He looks older, but after all, he is a character who lived more than 40 years ago. It is difficult for Lu Jing to match him.
In addition, he had a lot of things to do, and he didn't want to get involved in such palace secrets. He didn't even hear Princess Fu'an finish what she said that day.
But he didn't expect that things would turn around tonight, and eventually it would turn to Hanshanke again. And after learning Hanshanke's true identity, Lu Jingshun also figured out a lot of things.
At first, like everyone else, he did think that Master and Disciple Dongxuan came for Si Tianjian, but at least now it seemed that they were not the only protagonists at tonight's banquet.
The calligraphy and painting is titled "Catching Demons and Exorcising Evils", but in fact, they are basically singing a double act with the resentful baby. The two of them lured Zhu Jie into the pit with words, and successfully made most of the people present. Believing that Zhu Jie's father had gained the throne incorrectly, he secretly released the news that Zhaozong was still alive.
It is conceivable that once this breaking news spreads, it will inevitably make the already precarious Chen Dynasty even more turbulent.
Of course, after all, Zhu Jie was not a young emperor who had just ascended the throne. He had been in power for twenty-six years. Even when the world was in turmoil, at least his basic base in the capital was still very stable.
Not only those princes and princesses, but also many civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were on the same boat as Zhu Jie. Both parties had common interests. It was impossible that because of the sudden appearance of the old emperor more than 40 years ago and a few rumors, the big guys were on the same boat. They all defected in droves.
But what about outside the capital?
In those border areas where the central government's influence is already weak, or in those states and counties where the people have been devastated by natural disasters and man-made disasters, the local powerful and reckless people there may have been waiting for the changes in the world.
What they lack now is just a flag, and Zhaozong Zhu Zhen is that flag.
Thinking of this, Lu Jing's uneasiness couldn't help but become stronger and stronger.
He was not worried that Zhu Jie's throne was about to be unstable. To be honest, he didn't care at all about who would become an official in the world. The key was that if Hanshanke came to play real-person total combat with Zhu Jie, who would come? How about refining poison elixir for him?
In particular, Lu Jing was about to break through again with his secret power and become a monk of the Second Palace. He had high hopes for the poisonous elixir that Hanshanke promised to refine for him, and he was pointing to this thing to extend his life. .
No way, it seems like that guy has never been interested in things other than immortality, otherwise he wouldn't have stayed in Mirror Lake Valley for forty years.
Why did he suddenly have the idea of re-employment? Or is it that master and apprentice Dongxuan planned to kidnap Hanshanke directly and force him to become a puppet. However, although Hanshanke himself has ordinary skills, he lives in the academy. inner.
In addition to Huang Jianyuan and other teachers and students, there were also many senior experts there. It was hard for Lu Jing to imagine that anyone could sneak in without anyone noticing and kidnap Hanshanke out.
Or perhaps he was overthinking it. Master and disciple Dongxuan had no intention of letting the old emperor Zhu Zhen return to his post. He just wanted to use his tiger skin to pull together a force, and by the way, he was riddled with holes. Chen Chao stabbed him twice more.
Lu Jing now wished he could return to the academy immediately and find Hanshanke to ask him questions.
However, now he had to focus on the trouble in front of him.
Zhu Jie, a senior official in the Chen family, had not completely fainted yet. He obviously realized something after seeing the resentful baby, and he quickly cried and shouted and fell back into Si Tianjian's arms.
Although Lu Jing was a little dissatisfied with his behavior, he still rescued him. He had no choice but to make him rich.
Of course, remuneration can only be discussed later.
Shuhua looked at Zhu Jie who was squeezing into the crowd of Si Tianjian, with a look of confusion on his face, and said, "Why do the officials want to escape?"
"It's not because you demons and your evil words are misleading the public. I didn't investigate for a while, listened to your slanders, and mistakenly regarded the country's interests as a concern, which almost led to a big mistake." Zhu Jie probed and said.
Hearing this, Shuhua sighed, "Guan, why are you doing this? If you don't like what the resentful baby said, just let the common people kill it. Why do you have to blame our master and apprentice? You can't help but Tell me with your own conscience, has my master done a lot for you during this time? Not only has he recruited so many strange people for you, but also our senior brothers have come to serve the government.
"But in the end, Guan Guan, you suddenly turned against me. How can you bring the world's elite back to your side by doing this? Or, you have already made plans to kill us all to prevent tonight's events from being leaked."
The words of Shu Hua suddenly made the atmosphere in the palace become tense again, especially the rest of the people except Si Tianjian and others looked at Zhu Jie unkindly. Most of them were originally He is not a good man or woman.
The reason why they came to seek refuge with Zhu Jie was just for glory and wealth. But seeing that they could not get the wealth and might even lose their lives, the ferocity in the hearts of this group of people was also aroused, and many of them were even ready to break the pot. Prepare.
Fortunately, Zhu Jie was not stupid, and immediately said, "Don't talk nonsense! Today, the hall is full of guests invited by me. If they want to leave or stay, I will not stop them. I... I will pass on the order." "
Zhu Jie had the courage to say this, because according to his original intention, it was best to kill these people, but he also knew that if he didn't say this, it would be difficult to say who would die first tonight.
So even if he knew that those fatal rumors would spread in the capital tomorrow, he could only choose to swallow this bitter pill.
