Dedicate One’s Mind

Dayu Country, Nancheng, the main town of Nanjun.

In late spring, light rains are frequent, but if you calm down, you can find that the drizzle is like a bead curtain rolling back, which is really gratifying. Threads of rain hit the tiles on the roof, splashing crystal water, like a thin layer of smoke covering the roof.

The continuous rain also hinders pedestrians' interest in traveling. The wide streets are quiet and there are fewer pedestrians, which is especially suitable for enjoying the rain.

Wu Yi, who had just finished meditating, was watching the drizzle from the window, but he was still thinking about something in his heart.

Fang Qian did not break his promise that day. Not long after, elders from the sect went to the South China Sea to investigate the matter. He was able to travel smoothly and boarded the elder's flying boat. The journey was uneventful. The attack that Wu Yi was most worried about was eliminated. But the grudge against Yuan Qingxi's father was still there, and despite the long journey, Wu Yi still retained a trace of caution.

It is worth mentioning that after leaving the Yulong Mountains, Wu Yi noticed that Bai Ze was missing above his head. Recalling his previous suggestion to let him enter the inner door, Wu Yi guessed that he should not be able to leave the inner door, otherwise he would be in trouble. Go out with Wu Yi.

Without the ancestor above his head, Wu Yi seemed to have lost a layer of shackles, but the stillness of his heart that he had tempered in those few days has not changed. It should be said that Wu Yi gained extra gains in those few days.

The elder who went to explore the South China Sea sent him to Nancheng, the main city of Nan County, and then left. To be honest, Wu Yi didn't see the elder's face along the way, and he didn't even have time to say thank you.

This elder was so indifferent to the ship passengers, and he didn't care about other trivial matters. He never saw the flying boat stop along the way. Of course, it may be that the matter in the South China Sea is more urgent, but the conflicting question is why Wu Yi was brought along if Wu Yi was urgent. After thinking about it for a while, Yi could only attribute it to Fang Qian's dealings.

The result of such eagerness is that the speed of the flying boat is much faster, taking half the time compared to when Wu Yi went to the inner gate before. He originally came back half a month earlier than other disciples, and with the speed of his return, Wu Yi came back almost a month earlier than other disciples.

Although he had an extra month of free time, Wu Yi had no intention of staying outside. After all, it was safer inside the mountain gate, and he could also practice well with the few books he got from the Jing Pavilion.

The reason why Wu Yi stayed in Zhennan City and did not return to the mountain gate this time was that he accidentally heard the news that the deposed prince was coming back from Lingnan in a few days and passed through Nanjun on the way.

As mentioned before, in order to support the current emperor, the former third prince Ping Yunche came to the throne. The queen abolished the titles of Ping Yunche's two brothers and demoted them to remote areas to consolidate the status of the third prince, and finally allowed the third prince to ascend the throne. After taking the throne, the queen finally had the power to control military and state affairs behind the scenes.

Now the deposed prince has returned to the capital. Although his title has not been restored, his return itself is a miracle. It should be noted that at that time, Emperor Gengshi was called the emperor, and the deposed prince, Ping Yunce's eldest brother, was called the human king by the people. He was the emperor. His great achievements have made immortal achievements, and he is also the best heir to the throne in the hearts of the people.

The reason why the deposed prince was seduced by the empress back then was mainly due to the suspicion of Emperor Gengshi. It would be too unsettling for a person with great reputation and achievements to have the intention of spying on Dabao.

In order to leave a good reputation for benevolence among the people, the deposed prince often opposed the Gengshi Emperor on some major national policies. He gained the reputation, but the Gengshi Emperor also offended him. As conflicts accumulated, he was demoted to the frontier and resettled. Not surprising.

Not long after the new emperor's enthronement ceremony, the deposed prince was recalled by the queen in the name of brother and brother. The intention was obvious. The queen wanted to find another option for herself, one that would depose the emperor when he disobeyed. .

The deposed prince is like a time bomb. No one knows when it will explode, but there is no doubt that once the bomb explodes, it will blow up the current emperor's position.

The window opposite Wu Yi suddenly opened, and a middle-aged man's figure appeared in the window. Even if Wu Yi didn't practice the art of looking for energy, he could still tell that this man looked wealthy, but he was currently in bad luck.

Seeing Wu Yi across from him, the middle-aged man was a little surprised at first, but he still greeted him warmly. Wu Yi was wearing a Taoist robe and was obviously a Taoist priest. At this time, he made a Taoist salute.

"The little Taoist priest came with the teacher to perform rituals, right?" The middle-aged Taoist chatted with Wu Yi.

"The poor Taoist was sent down the mountain by the teacher to practice. He is alone." Wu Yi shook his head, and the words he said were very suitable for his age, just like a Taoist boy who has not been deeply experienced.

In fact, no one can tell his age just by looking at Wu Yi's figure. Especially after Wu Yi established his foundation, his figure has grown taller, and he is the same as a boy of fifteen or sixteen years old.

But Wu Yi cultivates the Tao Yun of Jing, especially after being forced by Bai Ze to hide his inner thoughts. His eyes are like waves, clear and transparent, making people ignore his height, and they will only subconsciously think that Wu Yi is very special. simple.

But people who know Wu Yi's past will never think this way. This journey has been difficult, and the sadness and pain involved cannot be shared with outsiders. I believe that Wu Yi, a very simple person, will definitely regret it.

And this middle-aged man will be the first to regret it.

In fact, the reason why Wu Yi still stays here has a lot to do with the middle-aged man opposite. It was from this middle-aged man that Wu Yi learned the news that the deposed prince was about to return. Of course, the method was not very clever, but he used The news obtained through audio-visual techniques came three days earlier than the rumored official announcement. It was precisely for this reason that Wu Yi planned to stay and take a look.

As the queen, Wu Yi thought that she should pay attention to the situation, especially for such a big matter.

If Wu Yi guessed correctly, the middle-aged man opposite him was the former team member of the deposed prince. He has not forgotten his old master for so long, which shows that he must have been a very important member of the deposed prince's forces before.

Following this middle-aged man, Wu Yi also rented a restaurant in the suburbs of Zhennancheng. It is not difficult to guess that for safety reasons, the deposed prince will definitely not pass through the city. After all, today, it is not necessarily that the eldest brother is willing to come back. .

Wu Yi also specially chose a room that was relatively close to them. Of course, Wu Yi had audio-visual skills, so it didn't matter whether he rented or lived nearby. Especially since Wu Yi had condensed his spiritual consciousness and had audio-visual skills within a few miles. They are all harmless to use. Of course, simple spells such as the Royal Sight and Sound can be used several miles away, but some other spells cannot be used at such a long distance.

The main reason why Wu Yi lives here now is to prevent others from spying on the middle-aged man opposite. However, no one else has been found yet. If it weren't for chance, Wu Yi might not have met this middle-aged man.

Wu Yi then talked and laughed with the middle-aged man for a while, but almost nothing about his life revealed in the conversation between the two was true. It seemed that the middle-aged man made insinuations about Wu Yi after seeing a strange person opposite him. His identity and vigilance are not bad, but Wu Yi can at least confirm through conversation that this middle-aged man will go with the deposed prince when he arrives here.

Two days later, a convoy arrived at Zhennan City. There were not many of them, but the followers were all powerful men with swords hanging on their waists. Anyone who has been in the army for a long time can tell at a glance that these people are all soldiers, and they are not. The sharp eyes of the ceremonial soldiers who were raised in the capital and only had to pay for their wages were clearly tempered in the flames of war.

The middle-aged man Wu Yi had been monitoring finally started to move, and there were many more people coming and going in his room. Most of them were the deposed prince's team before he was deposed. They were either deposed or deposed because of the deposed prince's involvement. After being demoted to the countryside, of course a large number of people took advantage of the situation and turned to the queen.

The conflict between the former queen, the current empress dowager, and the current emperor may not be an opportunity for their comeback. It is just that the enemies back then are now their "benefactors", which is sad.

When the deposed prince's motorcade arrived here, it was intercepted by this group of people. The middle-aged man took the lead, prostrate on the ground, with tears in his eyes, and said to the person in the carriage: "Welcome back, my lord."

When the motorcade stopped, the people in the carriage opened the curtains and looked outside. When they saw that they were their former team members, they left the carriage regardless of the guards' obstruction. They helped the people in front of them up one by one. They also had tears in their eyes. Full of affection.

When the middle-aged man and the group left the restaurant, Wu Yi used the audio-visual technique on the middle-aged man. Who knows if there are any expert guards around the deposed prince. It would be bad if he was discovered by then, so Wu Yi Yi was now standing in the restaurant watching from a distance. The convoy was originally going to stop here and replenish supplies. The middle-aged man and his group didn't know how they got the news.

This deposed prince is called Ping Yunzhi, and he is now a man who knows destiny. But when Wu Yi saw him for the first time, he thought he was ancient. With his pale hair and the ravines, no matter how he looked at him, he would not believe that he was still a human being. For those who know destiny, it is no lie to say that half of their body will be buried in the earth.

Can such a person really achieve the Queen's purpose? Wu Yi expressed doubts.

Seeing the real owner, Wu Yi's goal was accomplished. He originally planned to talk to Yunzhi, but after thinking about it, he found that there was nothing to talk about, so he simply gave up the idea.

While Taira Yunzhi was talking with his old team, a voice came from the carriage, sounding very impatient.

There are people in the carriage. This was Wu Yi's first thought, and his second thought was to run quickly. Wu Yi heard that the owner of the voice was Shu Yunyun, the queen's sister.

But it was too late. The familiar coldness and the familiar stiffness made Wu Yi want to cry without tears. Even though he had built up his strength in front of this force, he still had no ability to fight back. With the vast spiritual knowledge of Jindan Master, maybe Shu Yunyun would have He knew that Wu Yi was on the side, but Wu Yi only knew that Shu Yunyun was in the car after she spoke.

Wu Yi gave up the resistance, but the calmness of mind that he had developed from getting along with Bai Ze helped Wu Yi quickly think about what questions she would ask and how to respond.

"Little Taoist priest, what a coincidence!" A water-blue figure appeared in front of Wu Yi with a hazy face. It should be Shu Yunyun's clone.

Wu Yi smiled awkwardly, but as his whole body was invaded by the cold, his smile was very stiff, as if he were crying, and said: "What a coincidence!"

"Have you completed the task I gave you?"

"Don't you know?" Wu Yi asked back. He didn't believe that Shu Yunyun knew nothing about it. Even the Qi Refining monks knew how to attach aura to letters to show their identity. Master Jin Dan didn't have such a skill at all.

"Stop talking nonsense." Shu Yunyun didn't expect that Wu Yi would dare to mock her. In fact, Shu Yunyun naturally knew that the letter she sent had been opened, but she was not sure whether it was Wang Chuchen himself who opened it. If she could trace the source of her spiritual knowledge, she could Although she knew the situation, this would undoubtedly infringe on Wang Chuchen's privacy, so she did not do so.

"Of course it's up to the viewers to see."

I don't know if Shu Yun Yunxiang believed it or not. Anyway, her aqua blue avatar disappeared and Wu Yi recovered from his stiff state.

Shu Yunyun's clone left, but the main body was coming to this restaurant. Naturally, Wu Yi would not stay here anymore and left quickly.
