Dongzhi Street.
After Gu Lan dismantled part of the teleportation array, he returned to his mansion.
"Sir, are you back? Madam was there yesterday..." Old Man Yang was the first to greet him, his tone full of shock and confusion.
Gu Lan knew what he meant. After all, he saw Mu Yuyan fly away with his own eyes yesterday, so Old Yang should be confused.
After all, in Lao Yangtou's eyes, his wife probably doesn't know how to practice.
"Ahem..." Gu Lan coughed dryly, "Sir, I practice with Yu Yan every night, so it's normal for me to be able to fly."
Old Yangtou attaches great importance to fame and fame, so he suddenly told him that his wife was the empress, fearing that he would be so excited that he carried her away...
Old Yang's head showed a hint of surprise: "I didn't expect that the young master and his wife would work so hard. Even though they are so powerful, they still practice hard day and night."
"By the way, I wonder where my wife is now? Neither the young master nor his wife came back yesterday, which made us worried."
Gu Lan replied: "Yesterday, my wife went out for a honeymoon with me. She won't come back to stay during this period. I will pack some things when I come back."
Of course, it is impossible for Miyagi to take Lao Yangtou with him unless he cleans himself up... It is best to wait for the reward to be gradually given in the future and let him spend the rest of his life in peace.
"Then let Tan'er help the young master pack up the madam's daily utensils."
Old Yang went to find Lin Tan'er, but Gu Lan didn't refuse. If he didn't use the maid at this time, how could he still use it?
…
An unknown distance away from Dajing, in the fairyland, is a cave-heaven-blessed fairyland with rich aura. .
Countless pavilions and buildings are located near mountains and rivers.
Among them is a grand pavilion with a huge hall.
There were several people with an air of immortality and spirit in the hall, some were laughing or angry, but all of them were men like jade trees facing the wind, and women like fish and geese.
"Our Palace of Joy, the branch of the Palace of Joy established in the human world, has been destroyed."
"Let's talk about it together. How should this matter be handled?"
The leader is a handsome man who looks like he is only thirty years old, but people who cultivate immortality often live for thousands of years, and their appearance will stay in their youth.
Of course, it is not that some cultivators disdain appearance and would rather have a white appearance than spend any effort on appearance.
But this is the Hall of Joy, and the monks here pay more attention to appearance than to cultivation.
For them, cultivation is a process of replenishing cultivators of the opposite sex, and a good appearance can help them get twice the result with half the effort in the process of replenishing.
Those who can sit in the main hall are all high-ranking figures in Huanxi Hall, so they all have a dignified appearance.
The person who spoke was the master of the Hall of Joy.
After hearing what the palace master said, the other people frowned slightly.
"Although we monks in the Hall of Joy are often misunderstood and do not understand our path to joy, so we are not without enemies in various realms. But this time, the situation is too bad."
"This is the first time that the branch hall of Huanxi Hall has been completely destroyed. All the disciples of the branch hall were not spared!"
The rest of the people were also furious. Huanxi Palace was a first-class sect in the immortal world. How had it ever experienced such humiliation?
Even in other realms, which force would not give Huanxi Palace some face?
Only this time in the human world, a mere lower realm among the six realms actually wiped out the entire branch!
The woman at the end has a gloomy face, and her beautiful face is full of gloom, which makes people feel intimidated.
"This is a shame to our Joy Palace. We must send people to the human world to teach them a bloody lesson!"
"At the same time, it is also necessary to establish a new branch hall. After all, it is a source of resources for a realm and must not be let go so easily."
The rest of the people nodded, knowing that what this beautiful woman said was true.
Regardless of revenge or not, the branch hall must be established.
The destruction of the branch hall was like poking a hole in the cornucopia of their Huanxi Hall. Every year, the essence and blood could not rise to the main hall, which made them extremely uncomfortable.
"However, you don't think that the door to the human world can be opened casually, right?"
"If you can't even open the door to the realm, wouldn't it be empty talk?" Someone raised a different opinion.
When the others heard this, they frowned even more.
The door to the realm cannot be opened with just a few words. It requires a huge amount of resources to open it.
In particular, the most important opening material is the divine stone.
Given the rarity of the sacred stones, the entire Huanxi Palace has accumulated thousands of years of accumulation, but only three of them can be found.
If one were wasted on opening the door to the human world... the master of the Hall of Joy frowned, feeling distressed.
No, it's just a lower realm, it's not worth wasting such a magical thing.
Not only did the Master of Huanxi Palace feel it was inappropriate, but the rest of the participants also did not mention this matter.
Except for the beautiful woman, who glared fiercely: "What? Can you endure the shame of having your sect wiped out?"
"On weekdays, I only practice cultivation and have forgotten the status of our temple?!"
Hearing her question, many people looked ashamed.
But still no one talked to me. After all, it was a sacred stone, not an ordinary material. Talking to him cost money.
After a long time, one of the elders suggested: "In another year, it will be time to go to the four realms to extradite the talented monks. Why don't we take this opportunity to go down to the realms."
"After we arrive in the human world, how we want to take revenge is up to us, right?"
The other monks' eyes lit up: "This is a good method. Not only can we take revenge, but we can also take the opportunity to publicize the power of our Joy Palace and establish a branch hall in the human world again."
"The most important thing is that this method costs nothing."
Money is just a proxy, it can be worldly money or cultivation resources. Even a divine stone can be bought as long as the price is high enough.
Therefore, if you don’t spend the divine stone, you don’t spend money, and there is no problem.
"However, this is not without its drawbacks. After all, in case of extradition, the sect can only send one elder down to the lower realm."
"Isn't one elder enough? It's just a small human world. Is it possible that it can turn the world upside down?"
The rest of the people nodded. Although the human world is huge, it is difficult for even holy realm cultivators to escape from a lower realm. How could they be taken seriously by Huanxi Palace? It would be no problem for a casual elder to destroy an entire dynasty.
"If that's the case, for the sake of safety, why not let the Great Elder do it himself?"
The master of the Hall of Joy smiled and tried to suggest.
It stands to reason that such a matter of extraditing a disciple does not require a sect's chief elder to personally handle it.
However, Huanxi Palace obviously had other ideas this time. It sent a great elder to ensure that nothing went wrong.
The rest of the people also looked at the beautiful woman. She was the chief elder of Huanxi Palace, Yan.
If they met her outside, anyone would only think that she was a beautiful girl who was weak and could be bullied. They would never expect that she was the famous elder of Huanxi Palace.
Seeing everyone looking at her, Guan Yan showed a trace of pride on her face: "I'll go, I'll go. This elder has been in seclusion for a long time, and I can't bear it anymore. I want to wash away the revenge of being destroyed in the branch hall."
"Elder officials can't bear to take revenge? I'm embarrassed to point it out to you..." The master of Huanxi Hall raised the corners of his mouth and sneered with fiery eyes.
"..."
...
Of course Gu Lan would not know about the plans of the Immortal Joy Palace against him.
Of course, even if you know, I'm afraid you won't take it seriously. If you have the ability, just come. Anyway, the karma between you and the madam has been deeply involved, and Gu Lan is no longer timid!
A conservative party pays more attention to the people it protects.
At this moment, he was leisurely packing up a lot of things in his study.
Although I have a vast system space, it stands to reason that there should be no need to place such things in such a scattered manner, but as a scholar, I cannot even display my own works to show off to others, but store them silently in the system space. .
If this is the case, doesn’t it mean that this book has been read in vain?
"Book of Songs", "Three Hundred Poems"... Gu Lan picked up many books written by himself.
"I really miss the years when I was studying. It was so simple and unpretentious, and my cultivation was so boring... From now on, I'm afraid you won't stay here."
Lin Tan'er's eyes were shocked: "Sir, can't we stay in the capital? It won't be long before spring comes. Why don't you wait a little longer?"
Gu Lan shook his head in dismay: "No, my wife is still waiting for us in another place. We can't let her get too lonely by herself."
"So that's it..." Lin Tan'er showed a hint of surprise, "That's right, the wife is the most important."
"I wonder where Madam is waiting for us now?" she asked curiously.
"Imperial City."
Lin Tan'er was stunned for a moment, then her mouth twitched slightly, with a look of astonishment on her face.
Gu Lan smiled. It was about my wife being the empress. I couldn't help but pretend to be in front of the maid, so he briefly explained to her.
However, as a qualified maid and maid, Lin Tan'er would not say anything when Gu Lan teased her. She nodded and continued to pack things up silently.
After packing several carts of books, Gu Lan realized that he had written so many books during this period, not just storybooks, but also various classics, poems, songs, and poems.
"Even if there is no system, I can definitely be a figure like Liu Yong Tang Yin..."
Of course, he would not go to a brothel. He writes well, mostly to please his sweetheart...
the other side.
Deep in the palace, a man appeared where he shouldn't.
This is the harem, without orders, who dares to come in? But this man dared to do it. This was Luo Chen, whose butt was still swollen.
Through unknown means, he met the Dowager Empress.
Many people know that Luo Chen and the Dowager Empress are related, but basically no one knows what their relationship is, except of course the empress on the dragon throne, who learned about it just by asking casually.
Luo Chen knelt down and finished talking about what he had experienced these days, with a hint of anxiety on his face: "Aunt, now..."
As soon as he finished speaking, the Dowager Empress's expression changed and she immediately interrupted: "I've told you, call me the Imperial Concubine, please don't call me these titles!"
"Yes!" Luo Chen came to his senses. In order to cover up the relationship between them and prevent outsiders from fully knowing their relationship, the Dowager Empress was very cautious.
On the contrary, Luo Chen himself didn't take it seriously. Basically, most of the time, he didn't care too much about the title.
However, the concubine mentioned that of course he still had to comply.
"My dear concubine, now that white-faced scholar has won your majesty's favor, what should we do?" Luo Chen was neither brave nor wise, and his strength was only comparable to that of the early emperor.
However, people often lack self-awareness. He always felt that he was countless times more powerful than Gu Lan, a helpless scholar.
In the past, it was thanks to various connections that he reached the position of leader of the Forbidden Army. Apart from the desire for power, men will inevitably have the idea of eating swan meat...
Who would have thought that when Mu Yuyan finally returned to the palace, she would be raped just because she had a disagreement with Gu Lan!
How could he bear this shame!
The concubine also changed her color for a while. When Mu Yuyan did not come back, she was in charge of the entire harem by herself, holding the sky with one hand, and could even reach into the court.
It's a pity that as soon as Mu Yuyan came back, taking Liu Yexi with her, her hand seemed to have been chopped off and she could no longer stand up... Of course, she was also smart enough to restrain her claws and not show them.
"What can I do? She is the empress. Of course she can be promoted or demoted at will if she values someone. Not to mention a mere leader of the forbidden army, even the king of the opposite sex can be named at will!"
Luo Chen's face became even more angry: "He's just a pretty boy. I don't know what your Majesty values about him, but he even named him King of Jingyang. Are you really not afraid of disturbing the imperial court?"
The concubine smiled coldly: "What's wrong with this? It's obvious that the empress has taken a liking to the pretty boy and is ready to include him in the harem. It's just a prince with a title. Who among the ministers will have any objections?"
"And don't forget, she is not only an empress, but also a sword fairy!"
Luo Chen's tone paused, and he also understood that in Dajing, no one could go against the empress's wishes.
No, not necessarily!
His eyes lit up: "No one has any objections! General Wu sent someone to contact me a few days ago, saying he could help me."
"It's just that the pretty boy hadn't been crowned king at that time. I thought I could deal with him on my own, so I didn't agree immediately."
"But now it seems that we really need General Wu's assistance."
The concubine frowned, and a trace of doubt appeared on her face, which was as well-kept as a twenty-eight-year-old girl: "General Wu? Are you talking about Wu Fan?"
"Yes! It's General Wu Fanwu!" Luo Chen nodded.
"Did he say how to help you?"
"That's not true, but he promised to help if there is any need."
The concubine nodded: "Since we have Wu Fan to help, there is not much risk in plotting against a weak-faced scholar. I wonder if you have any good ideas?"
Luo Chen's eyes showed a hint of murderous intent: "Of course we must get rid of him quickly!"
"This pretty boy has obviously gained His Majesty's favor. Conventional methods are no longer possible and we have no choice but to make this move."
"It's just a male favorite. He still needs to attend the Spring Palace. Then we can take advantage of the crowds in the Spring Palace to attack this boy."
"In Chunwei, it can be said that no one is aware of it. Even if the empress investigates it later, it will be of no use."
The more Luo Chen talked about it, the more excited he became. Once this idea came up, it was like opening Pandora's box and he could never stop.
"This is a good idea, but you must remember to wipe off the tail without revealing any clues."
"Xuantiansi's Feiyu suit is not easy to deal with either."
"Hmph!" Luo Chen showed a hint of sneer, "It's just the Xuantiansi. If it weren't for the mysterious Tianji Pavilion envoy, there would be no mysterious difference between the Xuantiansi and the waste organization. They have been a step behind on several major cases in a row. .”
"Besides, this kid is just a pretty boy, or a useless scholar. If it weren't for his good face, how would I take him seriously?"
Luo Chen became more and more disdainful: "With my level of cultivation, killing this kind of trash is not much harder than killing a chicken or a dog!"
