"What if Pindao disagrees?"
"That means the country will not be blessed."
"Okay, that poor Taoist doesn't agree."
Under Yang Ying's nervous eyes, the Taoist simply refused: "You have fought and killed countless people everywhere, and the poor Taoist has not slapped you to death. Anguo is already very blessed. Do you have anything else to do?"
"I don't have any more."
"It's okay. I'll take my apprentice and leave first. You should decide when to go to the mission to inform us. Don't wake people up every day in the middle of the night. It's easy to lose your hair."
The Taoist yawned, looking sleepy.
"I understand, Taoist Master, please excuse me."
Emperor An nodded and watched Jingting pull Yang Ying away with a smile on his face.
Until the two of them disappear, he will stand in the side hall, like a wooden sculpture.
"Your Majesty~ Your Majesty~"
The eunuch beside him called softly: "Your Majesty, the King of Li of Wu Kingdom and the Taoist priest have left the palace."
boom!
Emperor An flew up and kicked the wooden chair on the main seat into pieces.
"Show off! Go back to the palace!"
Emperor An's voice was stern and furious: "Go and tell the officials that the small court will be cancelled, and no one will be allowed to see you!"
"yes."
The prisoner knelt on the ground, trembling all over.
——————
"Master! You were so majestic just now!"
As soon as she pulled Yang Ying out of the palace, the little princess lost the composure she had just in Anhuang Palace, and held Jingting's arm with a sweet voice.
"Your Highness~Your Highness~"
Before Jingting could reply, everyone from Liudao Hall gathered around.
"How about it?"
Ning Yuanzhou looked at Jingting with questions in his eyes.
"Let's talk after we get back, it's not safe here." The Taoist priest said quickly with a slightly solemn expression on his face.
"Let's go first."
Ning Yuanzhou nodded, Yang Ying boarded the carriage that had been prepared, and everyone from Liudaotang was guarding him, and drove quickly to the Seyi Pavilion.
——————
"Master, I'm holding on. How did I perform tonight!?"
As soon as she got off the carriage and walked into the Siyi Pavilion, Yang Ying couldn't wait to shake Jingting's sleeves.
"It's very good to stay calm in times of crisis."
Jingting looked at Yang Ying with admiration and showed off to everyone without hesitation: "The inner guards of Anhuang Palace set up a trap to scare her, but it was Ying'er who defused it herself. After waiting in the side hall for so long, the tea was there. In front of me, I didn’t even drink a sip, just because I was afraid of losing the face of Wu Guo, but I was neither humble nor overbearing when facing Emperor An, and I responded appropriately."
"Your Highness, that's great!" Yuanlu was the first to speak.
"It's amazing." Sun Lang continued to praise.
"You are so brave and resourceful." Ning Yuanzhou kept praising him.
"As expected of the late Emperor's son, he can advance and retreat in a measured manner without losing my grandeur." This was what Du Changshi said.
"good."
Ren Ruyi was the last to speak. It was inconvenient for her to go to Anhuang Palace, so she greeted the delegation in the courtyard and nodded to Yang Ying.
"Okay, okay, don't praise me. You don't know how majestic the master was just now, pointing at that Emperor An..."
Yang Ying found a chair and sat down, imitating Jingting's laziness: "What's the point of not being blessed? I didn't beat you to death, you are already very blessed~"
"Hahahahahaha." Yang Ying's funny look caused everyone to burst into laughter.
"Okay, okay, what does Emperor An say about welcoming His Majesty back?"
After laughing for a while, Ning Yuanzhou got down to business.
"Di An said that we still need to think about it, but he has already agreed for me to see the emperor."
Yang Ying nodded: "But I didn't have time to talk about Beipan."
"That's okay. Let's confirm the safety of the Holy One first, and then we can figure out what's going on in Beipan."
Du Changshi affirmed: "As long as we confirm that the Holy Spirit is safe and sound, we will have room to turn around."
"That's right."
Ren Ruyi nodded, and with sharp eyes saw Jingting, who was frowning among the laughing people, walked to the Taoist and held his hand: "What's wrong? Did something happen in the palace?"
"Yes, Jingting, when we came out just now, you said it was not safe. What happened?"
Ning Yuanzhou looked at the Taoist.
"There is a master in Anhuang Palace. Pindao was discovered just after he touched his way in from the edge of the palace wall."
Jingting spoke slowly, picked up the rice paper on the table and prepared charcoal pens, and drew squares one by one: "I touched around the circle. This is the main hall, the side hall, the other side halls, and the imperial dining room at the back." The house, and behind it are a bunch of palaces, royal gardens, greenhouses..."
"This area next to the Royal Garden should be the harem. I went there with the Queen when I was a child."
Ren Ruyi pointed to the sketch drawn by Jingting.
"That master is here." Jingting pointed to a small square on the picture.
"If it's still the same as it was a few years ago, this should be Emperor An's palace."
Ren Ruyi said: "He put the great master in the palace?"
"It's down there, it should be under the palace."
The Taoist priest picked up the tea that Yang Ying had poured and took a sip: "He found me, and I also found him, but he didn't come out to stop me. He let me walk around the palace, and even went to the imperial dining room to steal some food. During Emperor An's lunch, when I passed by the palace, he didn't try to test me."
"Jingting, how does the martial arts of this great master compare with yours?"
Ning Yuanzhou stroked his chin and spoke slowly.
"I haven't done anything, and Pindao doesn't know, but in terms of feelings, it should be between brothers. This is why Pindao asked everyone to leave quickly. If he comes out, I am not sure that I can protect him even if we fight him. Stay with you."
"It's possible... he's just a master guarding the palace. If we don't kill Emperor An, he probably won't take action."
Qian Zhao analyzed Jingting's words: But this doesn't make sense. Logically speaking, the masters guarding the palace would take action when encountering an invasion, even if it was just a warning. "
"No matter what the reason is, it means that Emperor An has a knife in his hand and can kill any of us except the Taoist Master at any time."
Ning Yuanzhou followed Qian Zhao's words: "From now on, whenever we go out, no matter what we do, at least two of us must be together. Everyone must carry a MingDi with them and alert them immediately if there is danger."
"clear."
Everyone in the mission nodded.
"Everyone got up very early today, let's rest first."
Ning Yuanzhou waved his hands and everyone dispersed.
When Jingting returned to the room, she saw a blood stain on the jade hand that Ren Ruyi had just clenched.
"You are hurt?"
Jingting held Ren Ruyi's little hand.
"When you went to Anhuang Palace today, I dressed up as a coachman from the Animation Factory and went out to find out the situation. When I was tying the rope, I accidentally strangled it."
Ren Ruyi leaned in Jingting's arms: "It's just a minor injury to me. It's not even broken. But it's you. Why don't you discuss such a dangerous matter with me in sneaking into Anhuang Palace? If that master shows up today, What should I do with you? Anhuang Palace is heavily guarded, and it will definitely be difficult for you to escape if you are held back."
"I didn't expect it either. It was all those idiots from Wu Palace who confused me last time."
Jingting gently pressed her face against Ren Ruyi's face: "Tell me, what if he really takes action today and I die in Anhuang Palace?"
"Then I will have to find another man, and the child will have to change his name."
"How dare you!" The Taoist priest stared.
"Okay, Jingting, you dare to hurt me now, don't you?"
"No……"
"There's nothing! There's obviously it! Don't run away~ Watch me beat you!"
"No! Madam! No...!"
The Taoist priest scurried around the room with his head in his arms.
——————
Andu, Anhuang Palace, and Emperor Andi's palace.
After instructing no one to enter, Andi pressed a few times on the floor next to the couch. The sound of a click-click mechanism sounded. The strong smell of blood hit his face, and a secret passage appeared in front of Andi.
He held up the torch on the wall and walked slowly down. What caught his eye was a sword still stained with blood, with eye-catching Yin and Yang Tai Chi carved on the sword.
