"This...but his master and apprentice have left the imperial capital with the imperial master..." Emperor Tai'an hesitated.
The official of Honglu Temple said: "Your Majesty only needs to issue a decree to invite his master and disciple to come back for questioning. I think the Imperial Master can also understand."
Emperor Tai'an still couldn't make up his mind. He glanced at the ministers in the palace and asked, "What do you think?"
There was silence in the hall again.
After a while, the Minister of War said sadly: "Your Majesty, the border war situation is urgent and there is no room for any delay!"
The lieutenant stroked his beard and said, "Well, if this rumor continues to spread, it will be very detrimental to our military morale!"
Then one after another officials came out to express their attitude.
"As the saying goes, true gold is not afraid of fire. Your Majesty, please summon Yunlai and his disciples back to the capital as soon as possible."
"Your Majesty just asked them to come back to prove their innocence, not to convict them. I think the Imperial Master will not stop them."
"..."
Emperor Tai'an saw that so many officials supported calling Yunlai's master and apprentice back to the imperial capital, and he made up his mind, "Preach my will..."
……
It was late at night, and the convoy that had been traveling all day stopped and set up camp on the spot.
After spending a whole day in the narrow carriage, Jing Sheng became impatient. He led the little boy out of the carriage and took a long circle around the camp. Somehow, he ended up in front of Bai Chu.
The two were relatively speechless.
Jing Sheng looked resentful, Ah Chu, you ignored me!
Bai Chu stared at him with a half-smile, why didn't he talk about me anymore?
Eye contact is worth a thousand words.
Next to him, Xiao Daotong and Ling Kong Jing were also communicating silently.
Jing Ling shouted excitedly, "Xiao Mingyue, look, look!" Their eyes are so drawn! Do you still believe that guy Yunlai goes to the master's room every night just to exchange Taoism?
The little Taoist boy rolled his eyes and shouted in his heart, shut up! There is no room for you to talk too much about the matter between Master and the Imperial Master!
For a moment, the atmosphere in the camp was ambiguous and a little strange.
Suddenly a hurried shout broke the silence of the camp.
"Where is Taoist Master Yunlai?"
"Your Majesty has decreed that Taoist Master Xuanyunlai and Taoist Mingyue should return to the imperial capital immediately."
It was the messenger who caught up overnight to announce the decree.
The two looked at each other. Bai Chu frowned slightly and asked displeasedly: "What happened in the imperial capital that your majesty is so urgent?"
The envoy smiled apologetically and said: "Reporting to the Imperial Master, the war in the four border cities is not optimistic. It is said that there are people from the demon world participating in the battle in the Northern Wilderness Army.
Rumors about Taoist Priest Yunlai's life were spreading. His Majesty was worried that allowing the situation to continue to ferment would be detrimental to Dongzhou, so he ordered his subordinates to rush to Taoist Priest Xuanyunlai overnight to return to the capital to clarify the rumors. "
Jing Sheng was speechless for a while, "Sure enough, you just started spreading rumors and tried to refute them! It's really endless!"
The little Taoist boy bit his lip and his young face wrinkled.
Bai Chu looked cold and scolded: "Why are you so anxious? It's just some baseless words, no matter what he does! Even if you want their master and disciple to go back, you have to wait until I seal the demon sect!"
The envoy lowered his head and said cautiously: "Master National Preceptor, this time is different. They have asked for witnesses!"
Jing Sheng asked curiously: "Witness? Who is it?"
"It's Taoist Master Yun Lai's senior brother Yun Min." the messenger replied.
The little Taoist boy was stunned, "Uncle Yunmin?"
Jing Sheng was also surprised, "Eh? How could it be him!"
Then he showed a playful smile, "It seems that Pindao must go on this trip!"
"Master, my disciple will go back with you!" The little Taoist boy stood up quickly, took out the bronze mirror that had been hidden on his chest and handed it to Bai Chu, "Master Imperial Master, I leave the volleying mirror to you!"
Bai Chu put away the bronze mirror, looked at Jing Sheng and said, "With me here, who dares to force you, master and disciple?"
Jing Sheng smiled at him, cupped his hands and said, "Pin Dao understands the wishes of Master Imperial Master, but Pindao still wants to go back to the imperial capital in person to see who is behind the scenes and plotting against Pindao's master and disciple."
Bai Chu pursed his lips, turned his face sideways, and said with a cold tone, "It's up to you."
……
Imperial Capital
Former Xinhou Mansion
That night, Yuan Xi lay on the bed and slept uneasily.
In the hazy dream, the voice sounded again.
Yuan Yan sneered and said: "You are so courageous, Demon King! You were driven away last time, and you still didn't give up? How dare you enter this prince's dream again!"
He heard a faint smile, "Hehe, I was wrong to coax the prince last time! But I am right about one sentence. Master and disciple Changfeng Guan indeed took away your luck, prince. !”
Yuan Xi was unmoved, "So what?"
"Actually, the king and the prince have the same mind. They both want to get rid of the master and the disciple, don't they?"
Yuan Yan was silent for a while and asked: "How do you want me to help you?"
"Haha, the prince is really happy! I must have heard about the holy water test arranged by your majesty, right?"
Yuan Xian said sarcastically: "Yunlai is cunning and eloquent, and his eloquence is even better. Do you think you can defeat him with that Yunmin? Don't you know that back in Daze Mountain, Yunlai could discredit him with just a few words?"
"Of course it's impossible! Just in case, I have to ask the prince to help me set up a killing array. If he steps into the array, no matter what the verification result is, he will definitely die!"
Yuan Xian's eyes flashed, "Humph, I just believe you once."
After saying that, he opened his eyes, got up and went to the main courtyard to find Marquis Yuan Xin.
When Marquis Yuan Xin learned of his purpose, he showed a meaningful smile, "I wonder whose handiwork is in the court today, I bet it's him!"
"Father doesn't seem surprised at all?" Yuan Yan asked.
Marquis Yuan Xin did not answer, but asked him, "What do you think of Your Majesty today?"
Yuan Yan understood that he was testing himself, and replied without thinking: "Your Majesty is a good person...well, but he is a bit too indecisive in his behavior!"
Marquis Yuan Xin nodded, "At today's court meeting, if there was no father who was behind the situation, how could His Majesty be so determined to risk offending Master Yunlai and recruit Master Yunlai and his disciples back to the Imperial Capital? "
"My father's clever plan makes me ashamed of myself!" Yuan Xi boasted.
Then he asked, "What does father think of the demon king's plan?"
Marquis Yuan Xin looked at him deeply and said: "For me, this is just a piece of cake. It would be great if we could get rid of Master Yunlai and his disciples, who are a serious nuisance, in one fell swoop!"
009, who had been secretly monitoring Yuan Xinhou's mansion, was frightened and couldn't help but feel aggrieved for Jing Sheng.
[Ahhhh...you...how can you be so bad! 】
[Da Da just wants to survive in this world. Da Da has never taken the initiative to provoke you. Why do you use such vicious methods to deal with him! 】
[Uh-huh... I have to inform you as soon as possible...]
In the palace, the chamberlain next to Emperor Tai'an reported: "Your Majesty, I sent someone to inquire. The holy water in the hands of Taoist Master Yun Mo is extremely efficacious. As long as one drop is touched, the devil will be able to escape immediately."
He nodded, "That's very good."
