Entertainment of Spring and Autumn

Chapter 359 The Disappearing Cauldron

I know. Xiahou Difengmu had an awe-inspiring look, and turned to Eunuch Li and said: But the battle to seize the tripod was fought by Dongxu strong men, and the six gates could not get close. I don't know the details. I only heard that Eunuch Li also took action to seize the tripod. Well, you also invited the Demon Sect to help out and block the righteous response?

Seeing that Xia Houdi had some intention of attacking Eunuch Li, Ji Qingyuan took a rare step and waved his hand and said: General Manager Li took action to seize the tripod. I have given instructions. If there is an opportunity, you can try to seize it.

Xia Houdi sighed, as expected. I also thought that my father would not be so honest in following the so-called agreements with various families. It was normal for Eunuch Li to take action to seize the tripod. But in her opinion, this move was really a failure. From this moment on, if something happens, the court will not be able to escape its involvement.

In addition, what dissatisfied Xia Houdi the most about this matter was that since you had thought about seizing the tripod, for such an important matter, Ji Qingyuan actually did not send Xuuzhe, and only trusted the palace to enshrine him. As a result, the six gates were unable to intervene in the battle to win the tripod. On the surface, she said she was considerate of Xuanzhe and would not let him confront Leng Zhu. In fact, she knew very well that her father was afraid that Xuanzhe would help Leng Zhu on the spot.

Every time he encounters situations like this, Xia Houdi feels very tired and doesn't want to talk.

Seeing Xia Houdi's silence, Eunuch Li said at the right time: It is my own initiative to ask the Demon Sect to help me. Please punish me.

Ji Qingyuan waved his hand: Seizing the tripod is a big deal, so we should make a decision on the spur of the moment. Asking the demon sect to block the right path is the best strategy. What's the crime?

Eunuch Li accompanied him cautiously: But Cang Ming stole the cauldron. This is really not what I asked you to do. Cang Ming is nowhere to be found. I have never seen this person before...

Ji Qingyuan said calmly: Cang Ming Thief Cauldron... Hey, it's either a thief attack or someone else instigated it. Which one do you think it is?

This also shows that Ji Qingyuan really trusts Eunuch Li. The eunuch is a person close to the emperor. He usually serves him closely. He is very satisfied with all matters big and small. He is so flattering that he can't doubt him. What's more, this battle has fulfilled Ji Qingyuan's needs. The tripod is not something Ji Qingyuan must obtain in the first place. What he hopes more is to use it to provoke a fight between the righteous. From this aspect, everything is completed according to plan, Eunuch Li, so he should be considered a hero. .

Even Xia Houdi had never doubted that someone who entered the palace more than ten years ago could be in the same group as Xue Mu, and would not even think that way.

Xia Houdi finally said: If it is a thief's attack and it is inconsistent with his subsequent performance, it must be someone else's instigation, and he deliberately misleads the court.

Yes. Ji Qingyuan slapped the desk: So who is the main messenger?

Xue Mu's face flashed in Xia Houdi's mind for the first time. She pursed her lips and said nothing.

This matter indeed has nothing to do with Xue Mu. If the Xingyue Sect really wanted to seize the tripod, how could it be possible that Xue Qingqiu didn't even show up? Where did you get the confidence to do something so important that you would not use your own strongest people, but instead invite outsiders? If Xue Qingqiu takes action, he will be arrogant and has no one to resist him, and he will be almost invincible. In order to put aside the relationship, aren't you afraid of missing the opportunity and giving it away? It doesn't make sense at all.

Therefore, neither the court nor Zhengdao suspected Xue Mu, but Xia Houdi's personal intuition believed that it should be related to Xue Mu. There is no reason, just because Xue Mu obviously participated in this matter, saying that it has nothing to do with him, it feels really inconsistent.

This kind of intuition is not so much professional sensitivity, but rather that Xue Mu ranks higher than a group of Dongxu in her heart. How dare you tell the emperor this weird reason?

Eunuch Li suddenly said: I have an immature idea...

Ji Qingyuan nodded and said, Tell me.

The old slave thought that Cang Ming was just having a thief attack when he took action. He probably came with Xu Jing and found that the demon gate blocked the right path, and the battle for the cauldron on the mountain was fierce. The thief smell made him feel that he had an opportunity. Eunuch Li looked like he was slowly sorting out his thoughts, and said slowly: After seizing the cauldron, he discovered that the virtual and solid cauldron repelled him so strongly that he couldn't run far, and the aura of the virtual and solid cauldron was so strong that he couldn't hide it. At this time, Leng Zhu Or someone from Yun Qianhuang is approaching, and Chuanyin has made a new plan with him.

Ji Qingyuan squinted his eyes and said, Hiding the truth and diverting misfortune to the east?

Your Majesty is wise! Eunuch Li flattered him and continued: The key to this matter is that the Virtual Reality Cauldron cannot disappear for no reason, at least Cang Ming certainly can't do it. Only those in the right path who have been in contact with the World-Suppressing Cauldron for a long time can try to cover it up. The aura of the World-Suppressing Cauldron, and then the thief shouted to catch the thief, saying that the imperial court had taken it.

Xiahoudi was silent. Although she felt that some details were still vague, she could not refute this reasoning.

This was due to the lack of information. They only knew that the two sects of the Righteous Path were chasing Cang Ming, and as a result they each lost someone. Then they claimed that they were chasing a fake tripod, and the real tripod disappeared, pointing all the fingers at the court.

The court seems to think that this is really a thief shouting to catch the thief. The aura of the tripod has always existed, and you are chasing after it and disappearing for no reason? It's a ghost! Who else can hide it except yourselves? You are making nonsense of a fake tripod and claiming it is the aura of the Qiankun tripod. Why don't you show it to us?

Ji Qingyuan knocked on the desk and said slowly: This matter is not difficult to say...Xuan Zhe knows very well whether the imperial court can obtain the cauldron. Let him go and communicate with Leng Zhu. If Leng Zhu does not have the cauldron, after listening to Xuan Zhe's advice The words are bound to be shaken, and I suspect that Yun Qianhuang has done something. If Leng Zhu still insists on believing that it is the imperial court, it means that he is probably a thief who wants to catch thieves.

Xia Houdi was also a little impressed. This entry point was really good: I will go and talk to Wei Suhou now.

Ji Qingyuan added: To break through this fog, the key person is Cang Ming. First, issue a wanted order for Cang Ming, and the world will offer a reward.

Xia Houdi sighed: Cang Ming has been wanted for almost 30 years. He has been arrested for three times and he is still there. There are countless rewards and bonuses on his head.

... Ji Qingyuan shook his head: It doesn't matter, this is at least a proper gesture, showing that we have not won the tripod.

yes.

Eunuch Li suddenly said: We can still stir up the troubled waters. For example, if Cang Ming once passed through Lingzhou, we could spread rumors that Xingyue Sect was responsible. Also, for example, there are many monks in Wujiu Temple in Yizhou, so we can Rumors were spread that Wujiu Temple had taken over Cang Ming, and that the Xinyi Sect wanted to seize their cauldron. They talked about karma, which is very motivated.

Ji Qingyuan smiled and said: That's a good idea. The internal guards will handle this matter and be sure to muddy the water.

Xia Houdi said: If the Natural Sect and the Kuangsha Sect have taken action, how should we respond?

Ji Qingyuan sighed: Kuanshamen is located in a remote area with a harsh environment. There is little communication with the Middle Earth, so I don't take it to heart. Unless you send people to cause trouble in the Middle Earth, you are willing to degenerate and believe in the devil's way. I am worried about the natural sect. Even if it is divided and does not pay tribute, it will be extremely troublesome, not to mention that the sect has a wide range of people, spread all over the world, and the people's voice is very high, which will have a great impact on the country.

After a pause, he continued: Let Xunzhe tell Leng Zhu that once the whereabouts of the virtual and real tripod are discovered, the court will acquiesce to the Natural Sect's possession. In other words, even if he really took the tripod, the court will admit it.

Xia Houdi nodded silently. There was no other way. It could appease the natural gate to some extent, and the matter was not at its worst.

It is not easy for my father to be the emperor.

What's even more difficult is that she knows that her father is also handling many things at the same time. For example, officials at all levels were allowed to interfere in Jianzhou, and they were secretly connected with Zonghengdao, which made Wenjian Sect's current material situation become more and more stagnant and extremely poor. I heard that some members of the Wenjian Sect were robbed, and the affiliated sect families were also exploiting each other layer by layer, using their swords to speak.

If things go on like this, this sect will also fall.

Their extreme swordsmanship is one that is easily corrupted, and is almost demonic to a certain extent.

Ji Qingyuan, the emperor, was also an excellent chess player. He looked far from the top and took the world as his game. But Xia Houdi always felt that as an emperor, what he should consider is to make the world prosperous, not to weaken people. After all, Wenjian Sect is a righteous sect, not an enemy in the true sense... No matter how disobedient people are, they will not rebel, at least The taxes of Jianzhou will still be submitted to the court, and the Jianzong can still listen when it comes to military force. Whose problem is it to force a chivalrous sect to become a local bully or even a demon?

Xia Houdi suddenly thought of Xue Mu again. The new master of Wenjian is Mu Jianli... I wonder where Xue Mu will fall in this matter? Xiahoudi wanted to see it.

After leaving the palace, it was getting dark. Xia Houdi looked at the sky and suddenly remembered that he had missed something... Was there someone waiting for him...
