Not long after the middle-aged monk led the group of officers and soldiers out of the inn, he parted ways with the officers and soldiers and hurried away alone.
In less than a quarter of an hour, a middle-aged monk appeared in a remote palace in the Lu State Palace, and was talking to a Taoist priest in the palace who was wearing a Taoist robe and long hair. If Jining sees this Taoist priest, he will be surprised, because this Taoist priest with long hair and shawl is the real person of Yushan, the host of Chaotian Temple.
"Senior Brother Yushan, just now I led people to catch a member of the Yu family who had sneaked into the palace, but I met a monk in the inn! Which monk exudes powerful spiritual power, judging from which monk's spiritual power, That monk's cultivation level is much higher than mine. He sent a message to stop me from arresting the Yu family members," the middle-aged monk said.
"Well, a monk? And he has strong spiritual power?" Master Yushan asked.
Then the middle-aged monk told Master Yushan what happened in the inn.
Master Yushan listened to the middle-aged monk's story. After pondering for a while, he said to the middle-aged monk with a somewhat ugly face: "Junior brother Chenghai, this monk should have met by chance. If this person is the helper Prince Zhaori is looking for, he does not need to use this method!"
"It seems that there have been frequent assassinations in Luodu City recently. You were with me a few days ago and felt that there were suddenly many traces left by monks in Luodu City. Originally, this chaos was controlled by Lu Shang himself. Now I feel Lu Shang will find it difficult to control the subsequent situation. This is Lu Shang's personal matter, so you and I should stay out of it!" Master Yushan said.
"Junior Brother Chenghai, you and I are here in this mortal world to look after this place for the Shanmen, and we can do our best. However, you and I are just Qi-training monks with limited abilities. If the matter is difficult and cannot be solved, why should the Shanmen send someone else to solve it!" Master Yushan then talked to the middle-aged monk about other things, then waved his hand and said that it was late at night and asked the middle-aged monk to go back to rest. After hearing this, the middle-aged monk nodded and retreated.
The middle-aged monk who retired was named Yu Chenghai. He and Master Yushan were both outer disciples of Jiuzhen Temple. They had practiced together in Jiuzhen Temple since they were young, and they had a good relationship among fellow disciples. Later, Master Yushan felt that After there was no hope of cultivating in the sect, he applied with Shanmen to come to Chaotian Temple in the state of Lu.
Yu Chenghai continued to practice at Jiuzhen Temple, but after many years, his practice still showed no improvement. Therefore, Yu Chenghai also felt that there was no hope of continuing to practice, so he went down the mountain to Chaotian Temple, hoping to use what he had learned in the Immortal Sect to win a lifetime of glory and wealth for himself in the mortal world, so that he could enjoy the pleasures of the world for the rest of his life.
After seeing his junior brother Yu Chenghai leave, Master Yushan pondered in his heart, thinking that he was invited by Lu Shang from Chaotian Temple to take charge of Luodu City this time, but Lu Shang did not tell him what happened. At that time, he thought that he wanted to cut off the growing power of Prince Zhaori. This was Lu Shang's own family matter, and he didn't care about it at first, but now it's different when it comes to immortal cultivators.
But I recently learned that Prince Zhaoyun Lu Wei, who held a ceremony of worship with me at Chaotian Temple more than five years ago, left Chaotian Temple and went to the Qinling Mountains, but never returned to Luodu City. There are vague rumors outside that Prince Zhaoyun Lu Wei has died in the Qinling Mountains, and it is said that Lin Zhuoshui, the Qingyun Sect foundation-building monk, seems to have died in the Qinling Mountains together with Prince Zhaoyun!
Hearing this news still shocked Master Yushan. I was so surprised that I didn't know what strange thing happened in the Qinling Mountains, which could actually kill a foundation-building monk on the spot. He knew that the Qingyun Sect was the largest immortal cultivating sect in Eastern Continent that even the Jiuzhen Temple of his mountain sect did not dare to offend. If the monks of the Qingyun Sect moved to the Lu Kingdom due to the death of their foundation-building monk Lin Zhuoshui, how could he be a small Qi practitioner? The monk, even the headmaster of his Nine True Temple of the Mountain Sect, did not dare to say a single word.
I sighed secretly in my heart. It seemed that Lu Shang's idea was to kill two birds with one stone. On the one hand, he wanted to use the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers of the Black Tiger Cavalry Corps to extinguish the anger of Qingyun Clan. On the other hand, he also wanted to eliminate the influence of Prince Zhaori in the Anbei Army. Can tens of thousands of mortal lives alone quell the anger of the Qingyun Sect?
But these are all your Lu Shang's conspiracy, and they have nothing to do with you. I hope this trouble will not involve you. Then Master Yushan stopped thinking about these things, closed his eyes and continued to meditate.
After Jining's spiritual sense sensed that the middle-aged monk had left with the officers and soldiers, he withdrew his spiritual sense and continued to practice with his eyes closed.
It's just that the general named Zongyuan just mentioned Yu Shuai, which made Jining feel a little depressed. If the Yu Shuai the soldier mentioned was the descendant of Mr. Yu. Then my original plan will change.
Jining sighed in his heart after thinking of this: "I saw that what happened tonight must be related to the Yu Mansion. I will go to the Yu Mansion tomorrow to find out what they said about the relationship between Yu Shuai and the Yu family."
Early the next morning, when Jining went out, he asked the store clerk where the Yu Mansion of the current prince teacher Yu Qingyuan was located in Luodu City. It seems that Yu Qingyuan is very famous in Luodu City. As soon as the store clerk heard this, he immediately pointed to the south of the city and pointed the general direction of Yu Mansion to Jining.
On Nanshan Street, the busiest street in the southern part of Luodu City, in an alley a hundred meters away from Nanshan Street, there is a mansion covering an area of several acres with white walls and black tiles. In front of the house, there are two giant lions carved from stone on both sides. Above the red lacquer door, there is a golden plaque with the words "Yugong Mansion" written on it. Under the plaque, there are four sergeants stationed on both sides. Each of these sergeants held their chests high and looked intently, showing that these sergeants are usually well-trained and each of them is smart and powerful. This also makes the Yu Mansion more solemn and majestic.
Therefore, most people would stay away from Yu Gong's mansion when they saw him, for fear that their unintentional actions would bring trouble for themselves.
There is a three-story restaurant on the side of Nanshan Street not far from Yu Gong's mansion. The restaurant is named "Luoshen drunk" because of its wine. This building is located in the south of Luodu City, where high-ranking officials gather, and it has also become a place where high-ranking officials and giant businessmen often gather. In particular, the famous Luodu City wine "Luoshen Zui" served in this restaurant has made this restaurant famous throughout Luodu City. Therefore, many foreign businessmen will become famous after arriving in Luodu City.
Although it was not yet noon, the restaurant was already overcrowded, from the lobby on the first floor to the private rooms on the third floor. Several diners preparing to dine had gathered on the street outside the restaurant.
In a private room on the second floor, a young man sat at a table near the street window. There were some delicious meat and vegetable dishes on the table, as well as a pot of the famous "Luoshen Zui" liquor. This young man is Jining. From time to time, he looks out of the window at Yu Gong's Mansion a hundred meters away. He is also playing with a small wine glass filled with wine. Jining finds that this Luoshen drunken wine has an elegant and pleasant aroma, a soft entrance, and an aftertaste. After tasting it for a while, I couldn’t help but sigh that this Luoshenzui was really good wine. The taste of this wine was no worse than the spirit wine given by Old Man Meng at that time!
The side dishes on the table were barely touched, and the pot of "Luoshen Zui" was almost at its bottom. Jining drank Luoshen Zui leisurely!
To others, he seemed to be just minding his own drinking. In fact, his spiritual consciousness covered the entire restaurant. From the diners here, Jining found that many people were staring at the Yu Mansion and paying attention to every move of the Yu Mansion.
Jining glanced sideways at Duke Yu's Mansion not far away, then looked back at the street in front of him, his expression unchanged, he picked up the wine glass and took a sip of the Luoshen wine in the glass! At this time, a burst of conversation came from a private room on the third floor, which attracted Jining's attention.
"Master Zhao, congratulations. I heard that good things have been happening recently. I was recently promoted to Minister of War. I didn't have time to come to Zhao's house to congratulate you. But I asked Master Zhao to come to see you in advance. It's a sin. I don't know what I said to you today." What's going on?" A voice sounded from the private room on the third floor.
"We are all happy, and I would like to borrow General Gao's words of auspiciousness. As the Minister of War, I am only in charge of the food and grass for the troops stationed in various places. How can I compare with General Gao who has a large number of troops!" Although Mr. Zhao returned with a humble appearance, he still found it difficult to Concealing his inner excitement.
"The amount of money involved in providing food and fodder for the troops stationed in various places is astronomical. The power in Mr. Zhao's hands now is the envy of your immediate superior, the Chief of the Military Department!" General Gao said with a half-smile.
"No, this power was given to me by Prince Zhaohe. I heard that Prince Zhaohe admired General Gao very much, and I heard Prince Zhaohe praise General Gao many times! As long as General Gao is willing to go to Prince Zhaohe, Lu Guosan will General Gao must be among the great marshals on the road!" Lord Zhao said.
Then the two began to talk about the current situation in the Lu State, and they also vaguely talked about the Northern Army named Dulongguan. It seemed that Mr. Zhao was telling the truth and lies in order to win over the general named Gao. Many secrets between Prince Showa and Prince Showa!
Jining also guessed after hearing this. Prince Zhaori didn't know why the current emperor was dissatisfied. In addition, Prince Zhaori's right-hand man, the wealthy Yu family of Lu State, seemed to have had something happen recently, which made Prince Zhaohe see that he could replace Zhaori. The opportunity for the prince, therefore, began to take frequent actions in Luodu City.
This also made Jining vaguely guess the reason why the descendants of the Yu family were stationed at Dulong Pass on the border without reinforcements. It seems that the Emperor of Lu is now ready to cut out the prince's gang members.
This was originally a royal matter of the Lu State, but it was just the ten-year agreement between himself and Mr. Yu that year, but it also made Jining involved in the royal struggle for power.
Since Jining practiced the Secret of Immortality, he has not been interested in these mortal intrigues. It was just that he had some headaches about how to fulfill the agreement he made to Mr. Yu at that time. Jining sighed, picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.
It was already noon, and Jining knew that the Yu family was in a critical situation, and could only resolve it after entering the Yu family. After thinking of this, Jining stood up and asked the store clerk to pay and prepare to leave "Luoshen Zui".
Jining walked towards the direction of Yu Gong's Mansion, and was still more than ten meters away from the front door of Yu's Mansion. Perhaps he saw Jining wearing an ordinary green shirt, and some of the sergeants standing at the door shouted "Idle people are waiting for speed" from a distance. leave!"
