Light Dance Jiajing
Chapter 56: Virtual and Submissive
The grand ceremony of inviting the immortals was over, and the princess from heaven descended to the mortal world. Unexpectedly, the fairy disappeared without a trace, leaving only the half-immortal Shao Yuanjie, who sat alone in the bamboo forest, looking at the sky and the earth. The officials of the whole province were anxious, as the matter had already been reported to the emperor. It was a great achievement to invite the fairy, but now she was lost inexplicably. The emperor must be furious. They wanted to take advantage of the emperor's popularity in searching for masters all over the world, but now it has become like this, not to mention their official positions, it is hard to say whether they can keep their heads. Old Master Zheng complained bitterly, "You ask me, but who should I ask? I surrounded this place like an iron barrel yesterday, and aren't your people also surrounding it outside? Could it be that the fairy has returned to heaven again? Several people could only They arrested Shao Yuanjie and refused to let him go. Shao Yuanjie knew that they would not let him go. When he saw a group of officials coming to block him, he still acted as if no one was around and continued to sit cross-legged with his eyes closed. These people were extremely anxious, but they did not dare to offend this half-immortal. After a while, the governor finally couldn't help asking, "Master, do you know where the fairy is?" Shao Yuanjie didn't even raise his eyes and just ignored the group of people in front of him. The governor had been in the officialdom for many years and was not a person who could not keep his composure, but this matter was a matter of life and death, so he couldn't help but be anxious. A group of subordinates had the same idea as him. If the emperor blamed them for this matter, none of them, the important officials of the province, would be able to escape. Shao Yuanjie waited until the appetite of these people was enough, then he slowly opened his eyes and said, "The princess doesn't want to see you, she has left."
Mr. Zheng was anxious and asked, "Where did the princess go?"
Shao Yuanjie glared and said, "Is it necessary for you to know where the princess is going?"
The governor quickly said, "Master, please calm down. We just want to see the princess. Please give us some advice."
Shao Yuanjie closed his eyes again and shook his head, saying, "I don't know where the princess has gone, so you don't have to wait here. If she wants to see someone, she will go and see him."
The officials were dumbfounded when they heard this. Okay, we can't go to heaven and earth to look for the fairy, but you can't run away. We can't hand over the fairy, but handing you over can at least help. The governor didn't dare to delay. If they lost Shao Yuanjie again, they would really be dead. So a group of people politely took Shao Yuanjie to the government office. The governor accompanied him every day and treated him as a guest of honor. In fact, he was just watching him for fear that he would run away. Seeing that he was alone without even a servant to serve him, he hurried to the nearby Taoist temple and brought two little Taoist boys, aged thirteen or fourteen, to accompany him to the capital to serve him. Two days later, after a little preparation, he ordered people to take Shao Yuanjie to the capital.
When Meng'er heard the news of Shao Yuanjie's departure, she sighed slightly. This time he would definitely go to the emperor, so she taught Shao Yuanjie three strategies to save his life. The rest depends on his luck. The great master is the third Dharma protector of the sect. Meng'er and Zaihou are following him for now. The third Dharma protector heard with his own ears that the leader had chosen this girl as his daughter-in-law. The leader had a son in his old age. He had two sons before, but unfortunately they both died. Now he only has this one son left. This girl will be the young lady in the future. Although the leader must want to take advantage of her identity, because of this relationship, the three Dharma protectors are naturally more polite to Meng'er.
Mei'er understood that now her life and Zaihou's life were in the hands of this leader. Even though Zaihou was extremely unwilling, he still listened to Mei'er and acknowledged the leader as his godfather. At least he could save his life temporarily. Moreover, in this way, Zaiji could not harm them. Haha, I wonder if Zaiji would regret not killing them earlier after hearing this.
This mysterious White Lotus leader always had a stiff face, with only his eyes moving. Meng'er suddenly wondered if he was wearing a mask. The more she thought about it, the more she looked at him, the more it seemed to be the case. Meng'er thought he was really cautious. No wonder, he was doing the business of rebellion, so how could he not be careful?
The White Lotus leader now had a very delicate relationship with Meng'er. Fortunately, he only wanted to use her, so he would not kill her and Zaihou. Meng'er finally felt relieved. At this time, the leader was sitting opposite Meng'er. He did not beat around the bush and looked at Meng'er and asked, "Do you also want your brother to be the emperor?"
Meng'er nodded and said, "Of course I thought about it."
The leader shook his head and said, "It's difficult. There is another prince in the palace recently."
Mei'er naturally understood what he meant. Even if the princes in the palace were not well-received, they were still better than those who were expelled from the palace. Mei'er pretended to be sincere and said, "The leader and I will be a family sooner or later. We are a family and we should not have different opinions. If my brother is in power, I am in power. Can he still mistreat my husband's family?"
The leader said, "You are almost thirteen years old. Your brother's poison is difficult to cure. I will send someone to take you to Miaojiang. If he cures the poison, you can marry my son."
Mei'er said without thinking, "Okay." With the words of the White Lotus Sect Leader, he would definitely help Zaihou detoxify. However, it would be fine if the poison could be detoxified. If not, they would all be abandoned. As for her own lifelong affairs, would it be up to her? Even if her son was old, ugly and weird, did she have the power to choose?
After that, the leader didn't look for her again. He dealt with some things and left. Meng'er didn't act arrogantly because of her status as a young lady. She was very well-behaved. She regarded herself as a junior in front of the three protectors and called him "Third Uncle" in a very affectionate way. Zaihou had followed Meng'er since she was a child. He could understand what she meant with just one look. When he saw Meng'er trying to please the old man, he followed suit. The two children made the old man feel very comfortable. The two were enemies who were extremely jealous of each other the day before, but today they were in harmony. They are now a family. The speed at which they turned enemies into friends is truly amazing. The Third Protector is not so easily deceived, but he had intended to have a good relationship with the brother and sister. He wanted to work hard to build a world for himself in Jiangnan, but he could not compare to the Sixth Protector who protected Zai Ji and was valued by the leader by traveling around. Now he also has a poor prince. Instead of letting Zai Ji gain power and benefit the Sixth Protector, it would be better for him to give this child a push. Haha, his position in the Holy Church would be more stable.
Mei'er followed the three Dharma protectors in and out, and no one recognized her as the little fairy. In the past few days, the third Dharma protector was busy taking care of the affairs here. He managed this area single-handedly. This time, the invitation to the fairies was interfered with by Mei'er and others. The mythical image of the third Dharma protector in the hearts of the followers has been greatly reduced. It is better to retreat while the tide is turning. It happened that the leader asked him to protect Mei'er and her brother to go to Miaojiang, and this place will be handed over to the successor to manage in the future. The various miscellaneous affairs are very cumbersome to hand over. Mei'er is busy inquiring about the whereabouts of Zheng Liu and others. She tentatively asked the third Dharma protector, but the third Dharma protector really didn't know where the leader had taken those people. Mei'er was not giving up. She wondered how far these living people could hide. Seeing that the leader was in a hurry, as long as he didn't kill them, he should not have the patience to watch them all the time. Mei'er thought she should start from the White Lotus Sect.
Meng'er followed the Third Protector all day long, so people in the sect didn't dare to treat her badly. With her ambiguous identity, Meng'er could ask anything she wanted to ask. In just a few days, she had a general idea of the people under the jurisdiction of the Third Protector. At the same time, a person also surfaced. A man named Li Tong came to see the Third Protector every few days. Meng'er watched coldly for two days and probably realized that this guy was the Third Protector's subordinate. When he learned that the Third Protector was leaving, he also wanted to go with him, but the Third Protector had a calm expression and had no intention of taking him away. Li Tong became anxious and was about to pack up and leave with his men. The Third Protector looked at him coldly as he left, with a hint of contempt in the corners of his eyes.
