The island in the center of Cloud Lake, under the pavilion.
Fairy Fuyao and Master Xuanyi met here again.
"Izumozi did a good job regarding the Yanzhou rebels," Fuyao said. "After that day, many people are now looking forward to the day when the Three Realms Gate is opened. Master... I won't be able to hide it from you for long. Senior sister, you have to be prepared."
Master Xuanyi said: "Doesn't she know yet?"
"Master is currently unable to take part in the Yangshen Illusion."
"Yangshen Illusion, what happened?" Master Xuanyi asked in surprise.
"The seniors are trapped inside and cannot escape. It may be related to the death of Yang Shen. Master is trying to find a way to rescue them." Fuyao said.
Master Xuanyi was silent for a while, then suddenly sneered: "The path they took is indeed wrong!"
Fuyao sighed: "Senior Sister, what you say is too heartless."
Master Xuanyi didn't say much, and asked after a while: "How is the current situation?"
"Not too optimistic." Fuyao looked worried.
"I'm afraid it will be difficult to accomplish it with the help of Master alone. I have been to that place too, and it seems to be completely separated from the real world. If the original passage is destroyed, it will be... very difficult to figure it out again."
What she wanted to say was that it was unlikely.
"In our Taoist tradition, except for Master, all the monks above the Fate Realm are in the Yangshen Illusion Realm. If Master fails, this will not have a good impact on Senior Sister You's plan."
Xuanyi's eyes flickered, and she said: "I know in my heart that this matter should not be made public for now, and we should wait for the response from outsiders before talking about it."
"Ok, I know."

Inside Fuluan Hall.
The Queen of Heaven was currently summoning her ministers, and Yu Jingtang and Shen Tuying were waiting outside the palace at the same time.
The female official standing in front of the palace door didn't look sideways, and couldn't hear the conversation inside. The two of them were not too far apart, and the atmosphere seemed strange and silent.
Yu Jingtang glanced sideways at the burly man with an unkempt appearance, thought for a moment, coughed lightly and spoke proactively: "Juan Shi is getting married?"
Shentu Ying heard the sound and took a look: "Yes, it was given by the Queen of Heaven."
Yu Jingtang nodded and said, "I know. I have met Princess Jianing. She is a good woman."
Shentu Ying said, "I actually like your daughter more."
Yu Jingtang was silent for a while, and then asked after a long while: "Which one?"
"Yu Nian."
Yu Jingtang's eyes moved slightly: "Her affairs must be decided by her own will, I won't care about it."
Shen Tuying nodded lightly: "I know, I didn't ask Juan Shi to marry her. That kid is not worthy."
"..."
The two talked as if they were old friends who had known each other for a long time, but their tone of voice was too calm, which seemed a bit strange.
After a while, Shentu Ying suddenly spoke again: "What happened with Yu Wan..."
But at this moment, Shi Rong suddenly walked out and looked at the two of them with a smile: "Master Yu, General Shentu, the Queen of Heaven lets you in."
The words in Shentu Ying's mouth stopped abruptly. He glanced at Shi Rong, his expression became calm again, but his expressionless face showed a terrifying and ferocious look.
Yu Jingtang said calmly: "Let's go."
After saying that, he took the initiative to enter the hall.
The two walked in and saw Wu Shiwei kneeling there.
"I've met the Queen!"
Yu Jingtang was thoughtful and asked, "What's wrong with General Wu?"
The Queen looked cold and dropped an envelope.
Yu Jingtang picked it up and opened it and looked at it. It read that Wu Shiwei's son Wu Jie had a conflict with Prince Su in Chang'an and slapped Prince Su in public.
Beating and insulting a relative of the emperor, if this matter were brought up, it would be an unlimited crime.
Yu Jingtang calmly handed the envelope to Shen Tuying.
Shen Tuying only glanced at it.
"What do you think should be done about this matter?" the queen asked.
Wu Shiwei kowtowed three times and said with tears streaming down his face: "I am not strict in raising my son. I am willing to take the responsibility for my son and receive... the death penalty!"
The letter also said that after Wu Jie beat Prince Su, he clamored that Duke Shentu Ying was his uncle.
Yu Jingtang stood aside and said nothing, as if the matter had nothing to do with him. He knew that nothing he said was appropriate in this situation.
Shentu Ying bowed and cupped his hands, and said calmly: "According to the law of the country, let me die."
Yu Jingtang couldn't help but frown when he heard this, and Wu Shiwei just stayed where he was.
The Queen frowned and glanced at the calm Shen Tuying, then at the lost Wu Shiwei, and finally turned her gaze to Yu Jingtang.
Yu Jingtang had no choice but to stand up and said: "Thank you to the Queen, Wu Shiwei has made great contributions to the country, and his son is guilty, but the crime will not lead to death. Wu Jie can be exiled to Yizhou. Wu Shiwei has made mistakes in teaching his son, and he will be demoted to the third-class duke to serve as a warning to others."
The Queen of Heaven looked at Shentu Ying and called him by his name: "Shentu Ying, what do you think?"
"I second the proposal." Shentu Ying simply said.
The Queen looked at Wu Shiwei again: "Do you have anything to say?"
Wu Shiwei also woke up and kowtowed a few more times: "I thank the Queen of Heaven for her grace!"
The Queen frowned and said, "Let's all go."
The three of them left Fuluan Hall together.
After walking out of the palace door, Yu Jingtang didn't stop and left directly with his hands behind his back.
Wu Shiwei came to Shentu Ying and said, "General, what do you mean by the Queen of Heaven? Not only did the Yanzhou rebellion not cause any trouble to King Su, why did she suddenly stand up for King Su?"
Shentu Ying just slapped the envelope in his hand on him expressionlessly.
"You also think I've lived a long time?"
Wu Shiwei suddenly panicked and said quickly: "General, that's not what I meant! He didn't mean it either!"
Shentu Ying said indifferently: "I don't think you, the champion general, should do anything anymore. Hand over your military power and go back to your hometown tomorrow."
Wu Shiwei gritted his teeth and finally said, "I am sorry for the general! Whatever the general says will be whatever he says."
Fu couldn't help but ask: "Then who will take my place? Wen Ying is still lying on the bed."
"There is a man named Jiang Ting, who will be on the same level as you when the Queen of Heaven decrees it."
Wu Shiwei thought about the name seriously, widened his eyes and said, "Isn't that Yu Jingtang's brother-in-law? General, this..."
"how?"
Wu Shiwei couldn't help shouting: "If Yu Jingtang takes charge of the army, he won't be able to ride on top of us!"
"What are you afraid of?" Shentu Ying asked. "With me here, can he still make a difference?"
Wu Shiwei's expression softened slightly, and he couldn't help but said: "General, something is not right about the Queen today. You must be more careful in the future."
Shentu Ying glanced at him coldly.
Wu Shiwei said: "Brother, I am also worried about your future situation. That boy Wen Ying was injured so seriously and he is still awake. If something happens, it might be chaos."
Shen Tuying looked at the scenery in the distance with his sunken eyes. He was silent for a while and said, "Let's drink Jun Shi's wedding wine before leaving."
After that, he also stepped out of here.
"Hey!" Wu Shiwei suddenly smiled and quickly followed Shen Tuying.
"Whenever the general needs me, just call me back. Also, we haven't endured much hardship in this festival. Let's take him back in a year or two. He is also your nephew. I watched him grow up." …”
