This child is of course the Taoist Priest Zhongren.
Falling asleep really doesn't mean that he disrespects the empress.
It's just that Taoist Master Yunlong told him before retreating that he was waiting for the two guests from Jingguo... He was afraid of missing something, so he kept waiting.
When I was tired from waiting, I couldn't help but fall asleep.
On the contrary, it is self-defeating.
Seeing that Mu Yuyan was angry, he didn't know how to respond for a moment, and the "elder brother"'s momentum was immediately crushed by the empress.
"what's your name?"
Mu Yuyan narrowed her eyes and asked softly.
"Tao name Zhongren."
Zhongren answered honestly.
"The reason why we come to express our gratitude today is because a few days ago, Taoist Priest Yunlong of Yumen Pass helped the Dajing defenders to destroy the two Demon Emperors... Do you know about this?"
"have no idea."
Zhong Ren shook his head. After leaving Gu Lan that day, he returned to the pavilion by himself. He had no idea what the master had done.
Mu Yuyan looked at him as if he was lying.
After pondering for a moment, the corners of her lips raised slightly, a beautiful smile appeared, and she said in a soft tone:
"Little Taoist Priest, haven't Tianji Pavilion always had only inner and outer disciples? When did you get an additional disciple? Can you tell me?"
The mystery of "Big Brother" has been solved, although the results are somewhat unexpected...
But Mu Yuyan was still quite curious about the offering that allowed Taoist Master Yunlong to make elixirs himself.
And somehow, she always felt that the sudden appearance of the priest was related to Dajing... Otherwise, Taoist Yunlong would have no reason to take action against the demon world.
unexpectedly.
At this time Zhongren seemed to be on guard, looking at the two women with shining eyes: "The identity of the worshiper is taboo in our Tianji Pavilion, and the master is not allowed to tell..."
"All right."
Mu Yuyan knew in her heart that this enshrined person might be quite important to Tianji Pavilion, so the pavilion master had ordered it to be sealed.
"Then please thank Taoist Master Yunlong on our behalf... If Tianji Pavilion needs Jingguo's help in the future, we will definitely not refuse."
At a loss for words, Mu Yuyan smiled lightly and prepared to say goodbye and leave.
At this time.
Zhong Ren seemed to have thought of something, scratched his head through his Taoist hat, and took out a letter from his arms: "By the way, Master seems to have asked that this letter be shown to Jingguo's guests..."
Mu Yuyan: "..."
The letter from the Master of Tianji Pavilion is something that no one dares to despise!
Almost missed?
Is this little Taoist really the senior brother of Tianji Pavilion? The only direct descendant of Taoist Master Yunlong?
Why don't you look very smart...
Mu Yuyan silently glanced at the little Taoist Zhongren, inexplicably worried about the prosperous sect under her feet that had existed for ten thousand years...
Take the envelope.
Zhong Ren yawned and seemed not to be interested in the content of the letter at all. He handed it over in a dignified manner: "Two fellow Taoists, the mission of the poor Taoist has been completed. Let's take our leave."
"good."
Mu Yuyan was afraid that the little Taoist priest would fall down the mountain sleepily, so she watched him leave before slowly opening the envelope.
Just by glancing at the content, you will know the magical power of the master of Tianji Pavilion.
"The two fellow Taoists...are here to thank you for the Yumen Pass incident, right?"
"I can only say that Tianji Pavilion is still a neutral force and has no intention of getting involved with any party. I hope fellow Taoists will understand."
Taoist Master Yunlong was as noble as ever.
But there is nothing wrong with this. After all, with the foundation of Tianji Pavilion, maintaining Zhongji immediately means maintaining its reputation in the world. There is no need to throw an olive branch to Jingguo.
Mu Yuyan took a deep breath and continued to look down.
"I am here to depose the second emperor of the demon world for the sake of enshrinement in my pavilion."
"Speaking of which, it seems that Ping Taoist's worship has some connection with Jingguo. He is from Langzhou, your country... But this does not necessarily mean that he is devoted to Jingguo. Fellow Taoists, please do not misunderstand."
"..."
Seeing this sentence, Mu Yuyan no longer had the intention to read the rest of the scene.
Her heart suddenly shook, and the hand holding the letter couldn't help but tremble!
"Your Majesty, what's wrong?"
Liu Yexi noticed something strange about her and poked her head over.
After reading what Taoist Yunlong said, Liu Yexi was also stunned!
"People from Langzhou?!"
"The only worshiper of Tianji Pavilion is actually in Langzhou?"
As for why "ye" is used, it is naturally because of the sudden appearance of the Hongmeng Sword Master and his mysterious spiritual practice!
The secret guards have been investigating for several months, but there is no clue!
now...
There is one more person who can be worshiped as a guest in Tianji Pavilion!
"I never expected that Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon would be so lively in our Langzhou City!" Liu Yexi twitched the corner of her mouth, feeling shocked in her heart!
Fortunately, these people do not seem to be hostile to Jingguo, otherwise any one of them could destroy the foundation of Dajing!
But Mu Yuyan was not as optimistic as she was, and there was a hint of worry in her eyes.
"Xiao Xi, do you think any of these people would want to harm Gu Lang?"
"???"
Why are you talking about the young master so nicely?
Liu Yexi was puzzled by the empress's out-of-the-box thinking.
"The secret that the old prisoner is spying is obviously right. Gu Lang is the person I am looking for when I step into the mortal world." Mu Yuyan's beautiful eyes flashed and she murmured:
"Gu Langtong Gu Xiaojin, and he is my husband... What if there is really a powerful person with hostile forces hiding in Langzhou City and wants to draw fuel from the bottom of the cauldron?"
The empress thinks this way, she is indeed far-sighted and takes nip in the bud!
But from the onlooker's point of view, it seems a little worrying about gains and losses...
Liu Yexi said with shame: "Your Majesty, I think I shouldn't be able to do it."
He has only been away for a few days, and His Majesty will not be at ease if he does not keep an eye on Mr. Gu... Is this because he is paranoid about Mr. Gu being persecuted?
If those mysterious strong men really take action against Gu Lan, I am afraid they will have many opportunities before.
Where can things be calm?
"Go back first, you can't leave Gu Lang's side for such a long time in the future!" Mu Yuyan ordered lightly, held the sword secret in her jade hand, and immediately stood up with the sword.
No matter how calm and calm the empress is, when it comes to the people she cares about, caring will inevitably lead to chaos.
"..."
Liu Yexi could only nod in response and hurriedly followed.
...
Over here, Langzhou City.
Three days have passed and Qiu Wei has finished the first day of the exam.
Gu Lan stretched and returned to the simple courtyard at the corner of the city wall.
Lin Lu had left yesterday. Gu Lan and Lao Yang did not go to rent an inn, but stayed in the small courtyard. They could also take care of Lin Tan'er who had not yet woken up.
"Sir, have you finished the exam?"
Old Yangtou was fetching water from the well. He looked up and saw the young master walking back.
"Well, it's just the first day."
"With your knowledge, it shouldn't be difficult, right?" Lao Yang asked with a smile.
"Harmful, so-so."
Gu Lan said casually.
He didn't lie. The difficulty of the questions was indeed average. If you write it carefully, it would be easy to get a perfect score, not to mention getting a perfect score.
But, he didn’t write it at all!
The Langzhou Chief Envoy will receive the first blank paper in history this year - Candidate No. 295, Gu Lan.
This wave of failure is stable...
Gu Lan thought with peace of mind and asked Old Yang: "By the way, Old Yang, is Miss Tan'er's medicine ready?"
When he went out in the morning, he picked a few cold spiritual herbs from the system space and gave them instructions.
Just to pick it up now... ahem, to help Lin Lu take good care of his sister.
"It's fried, sir, and it's on the bedside."
"Well, you get busy."
Gu Lanshiran entered the room, sat down in front of the hospital bed, and began to give Lin Taner medicine.
