"Brother Emperor, I haven't seen him."
Yang Ying paced back and forth in the room anxiously: "On the way, the master was lured away by the master in the palace. I don't know what happened."
"Don't worry, Your Highness, it should be fine."
Yuan Lu opened his mouth to comfort Yang Ying: "With Brother Jingting's martial arts, if the two of them do something, there will definitely be a lot of noise. We didn't hear it, so we must have not done anything. On the way back, I have sent Mi Die to look for him."
"Yuan Xiaolu is right."
Jingting walked in from the door, shaking her wet Taoist robe, and looked at Yang Ying: "What happened?"
"Master~"
Seeing Jingting, Yang Ying lost the aura of King Li again, walked over and leaned against Jingting: "That Fan Dongming didn't let us go up at all. Brother Huang is on the ninth floor of Yong'an Tower, but we only went as far as On the eighth floor, Zhu Yiwei suddenly came to see him, and then he said that the emperor was unwell and would come to visit another day."
"Didn't His Highness ask to stay and take care of you?"
Yu Shisan immediately spoke.
"I asked, but he said... he would arrange for someone to take care of him, and he would also ask the royal doctor to come over. He refused to let me take a look at anything, so he kicked me off."
Yang Ying pouted: "When I was kicked out, brother Yuanzhou also saw it."
"I saw."
Ning Yuanzhou nodded: "I suspected that the Holy Lord was not in the tower at all, and wanted to take Qian Zhao and the others to test it out, but I didn't expect that those in Yong'an Tower were actually the elites of Zhu Yiwei. They also had powerful crossbows, so they could only Withdrawn."
"This is strange. Emperor An issued an order, and the young minister of Dali Temple personally came to guide the way. Why did he disappear just like he said he didn't see him?"
Du Changshi sat down and then stood up: "We are going to submit a letter. We can't just let it go. Your Highness must see the Holy One in person."
"etc……"
Ren Ruyi looked at the Andu map on the table: "Is Deng Zhu present in Yong'an Tower?"
"I did not see it."
It was Sun Lang who spoke, and the Liudaotang Captain's hand was still on the handle of the knife: "When the fight was about to start, I should have been closest to Yong'an Tower. Among the Zhu Yiwei who came out of the tower, Deng Zhu was not seen. .”
"Where did that master in the palace lead you?"
Ren Ruyi looked at Jingting.
"I walked around Andu twice and finally arrived at the palace wall."
The Taoist pointed at the map.
"This and Yong'an Tower are in two directions."
Ning Yuanzhou reacted.
"Meiniang told me that Deng Jiu transported a lot of kerosene to Yong'an Tower, and also transported a prisoner from the prison in the East Lake Thatched House to Yong'an Tower."
Ren Ruyi drew a circle on the lake outside Andu City: "This East Lake Thatched Cottage is located in the center of the lake, isolated from all directions. It was originally used by a scholar to write lyrics. Now it is not a thatched cottage. , all of them are heinous criminals, or the most powerful top masters in the world.
The man brought out by Deng Jiu had killed the entire top brass of Zhu Yiwei by himself more than ten years ago. "
"As for those idiots like Zhu Yiwei, it would be easy for Pindao to kill them."
Jingting curled her lips.
"This was not the case with Zhu Yiwei more than ten years ago. Zhu Yiwei has been established since the founding of Anguo. Those who died were personally selected by the late emperor when Anguo was founded, but they were all masters trained by the Li family for decades. .”
There was a hint of sigh in Ren Ruyi's voice: "Since then, Zhu Yiwei's guards and envoys have to be replaced every few years, and Zhu Yiwei has slowly declined."
"That's true. There are records in the Six Paths Hall. The Six Paths Hall was established previously to deal with Zhu Yiwei."
Ning Yuanzhou followed Ren Ruyi's words: "In order to establish the Six Paths Hall and confront Zhu Yiwei, the seniors sacrificed a lot."
"In that case, Pindao really wants to know him. I don't know how much fighting power he has left after being imprisoned for more than ten years."
The Taoist priest lightly clenched his fist.
"There is a high probability that he is no match for you. If his martial arts skills are intact, he will not be imprisoned in a thatched cottage."
Ren Ruyi tapped his finger on the map.
"Then what's the point of Deng Jiao calling him out? He can't guard against me."
"What if I just hold you back."
Ren Ruyi drew a circle on the kerosene: "He can blow up everyone in the tower, along with the entire Yong'an Tower!"
"..."
Jingting opened her mouth but said nothing.
"But if you say so, the master in the palace saved Brother Jingting's life."
Yuanlu leaned his head on the table and asked, "Why did he do this?"
Everyone looked at each other.
"In short, you can't go to Yong'an Tower anymore."
Ren Ruyi stared at Jingting: "Since you came out of Wudu, Zhu Yiwei must have been preparing for a long time."
"The key is Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"
Du Changshi woke up everyone in a daze: "The most important thing now is to find the Holy One."
"If it is really as Miss Ren analyzed, then the next place where His Highness will be arranged to meet the Holy Emperor will definitely be Yong'an Tower."
After thinking about it, Ning Yuanzhou spoke.
"Lao Ning is right. If the Taoist priest will definitely not appear in Yong'an Tower, then this is indeed the safest place. There is no need to worry about being robbed by force."
Yu Shisan agreed with Ning Yuanzhou: "There are experts in Yong'an Tower. We don't know the situation clearly, so we can't take action rashly."
"Let's wait for the next visit. It won't happen this time. Based on my understanding of Andi, he will arrange the next visit soon."
Ren Ruyi sat down and frowned: "And next time, your sage will definitely show up."
"Okay, okay, let's not talk about this for now. We brought the gold just to exchange for the Holy One. If we can use the gold to replace the Holy One, do we know that the situation in Yong'an Tower is the same? .”
Looking at the serious people, Yu Shisan broke the somewhat stiff atmosphere: "We have been busy for so long, everyone must be hungry. Let's eat something first and have a good rest.
In the evening, I asked the restaurant outside to prepare special delicacies from Andu, and everyone had two extra bowls of rice. "
"Yes, yes, eat more."
Yuanlu stood up and said, "It's easier to think when you're full. I'll eat three bowls."

Night falls.
Andu, Anhuang Palace, main hall.
Andu Li Xuanzheng kicked Deng Yu in front of him with great force until blood flowed from the corner of the mouth of the Zhuyi Guard Master.
"waste!"
This was Andy's first sentence.
"My subordinates were negligent."
Deng Ji lay on the ground, like a dog with its tail drooping: "But what your Majesty wants, my subordinates have already gathered, and they are just outside the palace."
"Very good, I guess you can still be of some use."
Looking at Deng Jiao who was lying down, Emperor An said calmly: "Go and inform Fan Dongming that Yang Xingyuan is fine and ask him to take Prince Li to Yong'an Tower tomorrow."
"yes."
"Go away, Li Tongguang is still holding on to the assassination. Go find him and give him an explanation."
"Yes, I am resigning."
Deng Yu gently stroked the blood from the corner of his mouth with his sleeves, bowed and took a few steps back, turned around and left.
As soon as he left the main hall, Deng Zhu stopped and saw a dark figure at the door of the hall. This time he saw it clearly.
Because the sword in the black shadow's hand was pressed against his neck!
