The young monk has returned to secular life

Yi Zhen thought about many reasons why Zhuang Wunian left the capital.

For example, because of Liefang Pavilion, the Fourth Prince, the General's Mansion...etc.

But I didn't think of swaying the tiger away from the mountain.

It wasn't until Mo Youdao brought the news that Emperor Kang was suddenly critically ill that he suddenly woke up.

It turns out that the drunkard's intention is not in Xinzhou, but in the capital.

When chaos arises in great prosperity, it is the people who suffer.

Therefore, there can be no problems with the crown prince's succession.

And Emperor Kang could live for five more days, excluding the two days on the road, there were still three days left.

No matter whose conspiracy it was, Zhuang Wunian had to rush back to the capital within three days.

Thinking of this, Yi Zhen stood up, took out a round jade pendant from his arms and handed it to Mo Youdao.

"This jade pendant has a special mark on it. If there is an emergency, take this jade pendant and ask the shopkeeper of this jewelry store to come to the Duke's Mansion to find me.

I have to rush back now to discuss countermeasures with the princess and try to get Zhuang Wu Nian back to the capital as soon as possible without exposing you. "

"My subordinate understands."

Mo Youdao took the jade pendant with both hands and carefully put it into his arms.

He was still feeling a little excited at the moment.

With this jade pendant, he is officially "established" in the Duke's Mansion.

Yizhen's next words made his heart beat even more fiercely: "If you take Bagua Dan, how long will it take you to stabilize your state in the Taishang state?"

Mo Youdao really wanted to say that it would only take one day, but his mind raced and he decided to tell the truth: "Reporting to the holy monk, if it is completely stable, it will take about half a month."

Yi Zhen nodded and said calmly: "This time is a bit long.

Then wait until Emperor Kang dies and Dakang stabilizes, then you can take Bagua Dan. "

Mo Youdao hurriedly bowed and said, "I would like to follow the arrangements of the holy monk."

Yi Zhen was very satisfied with his attitude.

Beat a stick and give a sweet date, this is the way of civility and martial arts.

He has already seen that he can bring the eighth-level realm back to its original shape, so he doesn't dare to become wanton after rising to the eighth-level realm.

After returning to the Duke's Mansion, Yi Zhen immediately told Mu Yunqing the news brought by Mo Youdao.

Mu Yunqing was also frightened.

She had already judged that Kandi would not live long, and she believed that Kandi himself would also have a prejudgment.

That he dared to send Zhuang Wu Nian to the capital proved that he was still confident in his current physical condition.

Now that Emperor Kang was suddenly critically ill, and there was no news from the capital for Zhuang Wu Nian to return to the capital, it proved that someone had deliberately blocked the palace's connection with the outside world.

It seems that something happened in the capital.

Mu Yunqing said worriedly: "I wonder when Sister Zhou will come back?"

Yizhen asked: "Do you think Sister Zhou can definitely invite Mei Chaofeng?"

Mu Yunqing shook his head and sighed: "It's hard to say that Mei Chaofeng has only gone down the mountain twice because of Zhuang Wunian's affairs in so many years.

Although we invited her this time because of Zhuang Wu Nian, this is completely different from her voluntarily going down the mountain, so... I'm not sure. "

Yi Zhen thought so too, so he thought of an idea in advance.

"Have you ever heard of the story of the frightened bird?"

Mu Yunqing shook his head in confusion.

Yi Zhen told the story of "The Frightened Bird".

Mu Yunqing said in surprise: "You mean...scare him away?"

Yi Zhen smiled and nodded.

"Is this... possible?" Mu Yunqing still felt a little unreliable.

Yizhen spread his hands and asked, "Do you have a better way?"

Mu Yunqing smiled bitterly and said, "Compared to exposing Mo Youdao, this is considered a better option.

If this method doesn't work, we can only have someone pretend to be a messenger to send a message to Zhuang Wu Nian.

Even if he doesn't believe it then, he won't dare to take the risk.

Once the authenticity of the news was verified afterwards, how could he bother to trace the source of the news? "

Yi Zhen also agreed to Mu Yunqing's plan.

Anyway, Zhou Jin has been walking for nearly three days. Calculating the distance, he should have reached the Qilian Mountains long ago.

We should be back as soon as tomorrow.

And Emperor Kang could still hold on for five days, so just wait for one more day. If Zhou Jin didn't invite Mei Chaofeng, it wouldn't be too late to scare this guy.

The next day.

noon.

While Yizhen and Mu Yunqing were having lunch, Zhou Jin came back.

Beside her was an unsmiling middle-aged woman.

This woman is dressed in coarse clothes, has black hair, has a cold face, and is beautiful. She does not wear any makeup and looks exactly like a Taoist nun.

He is half a head taller than Zhou Jin.

Mu Yunqing had been to the Qilian Mountains, and she knew Mei Chaofeng.

She hurriedly put down the chopsticks in her hand, walked two steps to the woman, bowed and said, "Yun Qing has met Aunt Mei."

Mei Chaofeng raised her palm to support her and said calmly: "Princess, there is no need to be polite."

Mu Yunqing straightened up, turned to Yizhen and said angrily: "Why are you stunned? Why don't you meet Aunt Mei quickly?"

Yi Zhen was really in a daze. He didn't expect that the famous Aunt Mei was actually a tall man over 1.7 meters tall.

No wonder Zhuang Wunian didn't want to marry him. The old man was only about 1.7 meters tall and had no sense of superiority in front of her.

After being reminded by Mu Yunqing, Yi Zhen regained consciousness, clasped his hands together and said, "Amitabha, Yi Zhen has met Aunt Mei."

Mei Chaofeng looked at Yi Zhen and asked softly: "Is your master the wise elder of Bodhi Temple?"

Yi Zhen replied: "Exactly."

Mei Chaofeng nodded: "Elder Zhizun is a rare person with a good temperament among the eminent monks I have ever met.

His apprentice should be no different. "

Yizhen didn't expect that she knew her master quite well, so she couldn't help but asked curiously: "Aunt Mei has met her master?"

Mei Chaofeng said calmly: "We had a chance encounter. What I want to ask is, your master is also at the eighth level. Why did you abandon the near and seek the far away and ask me to uphold justice?"

Look at what people say - justice.

That is, I feel from the bottom of my heart that what Zhuang Wu Nian did was definitely wrong.

Xiaoseng likes such an unreasonable master.

He hurriedly replied: "Master just went into retreat a few days ago."

"That's it." Mei Chaofeng nodded and sat down at the dining table unceremoniously, "I've come all the way and I'm indeed a little hungry. Let's eat first."

Mu Yunqing quickly asked the maid to serve two new sets of bowls and chopsticks.

She originally wanted to add a few more dishes to the kitchen, but Mei Chaofeng refused: "I have always lived a simple life, Princess, you don't have to go to such trouble, these meals are enough."

This is the first time that Yizhen has seen another eighth-level master besides his master be so frugal.

He couldn't help but wonder, didn't Mei Chaofeng enter the Tao with hatred? Why doesn't he seem to be angry at all, but rather peaceful?

Mei Chaofeng seemed to sense Yi Zhen's doubts. She asked softly: "Why, are you curious about me?"

Naturally, Yizhen didn't dare to poke her scar, and hurriedly replied with a smile: "I saw that Aunt Mei looked so young and beautiful, and I was a little curious about how you took care of it."

Mei Chaofeng smiled lightly: "You don't mean what you say, and you speak glibly.

No wonder he was able to deceive the princess into her heart.

You are indeed not fit to be a monk. "

Yi Zhen was exposed by her words, and her old face turned red for the first time.

This made Mu Yunqing and Zhou Jin chuckle.

The meal was finished quickly, and the four of them drank another cup of tea.

At noon, three quarters.

Yi Zhen finally saw what it means to enter the Tao with hatred.

"Zhuang Wu Nian, don't you know I've arrived?"

As Mei Chaofeng's words fell, the living room in the Duke's Mansion suddenly became as cold as an ice cave.
