The national teacher is not Daji

It was almost early morning, and Bai Qiwu followed the spirit bird to look for A Nian on his back.There was one person behind them.

"King Huaining...?" Bai Su Jiuqiang sat up on his back, still hugging the unconscious Qin Yang in his arms, and looked at Huaining King Xia Houxun with a little surprise.

Xia Houxun's eyes stopped on Bai Sujiu's white fox tail, and he was in a trance for a moment.Bai Qiwu put Anian next to Bai Sujiu, and whispered: "There is chaos in the palace. The monarch ordered the palace to be sealed off to investigate your whereabouts. The palace is full of eminent monks and famous Taoist priests from various places. I am in the courtyard. The enchantment arranged was broken by the Taoist priests, so I had no choice but to hide in the imperial garden with A Nian. I ran into His Royal Highness King Huaining, and quietly left the palace with his carriage, thus avoiding the king's eyeliner. "

"...Your Highness..." Bai Sujiu looked at King Huaining with complicated eyes.Xia Houxun paused, and walked forward silently: "I have a friend...named Bai Chenke...he is a ghost, does the national teacher know?"

"...He is my first disciple." Bai Sujiu lowered her eyes.

Xia Houxun froze, and continued to ask in a trembling tone: "National Teacher... Is Bai Chenke..."

"Let's go." Bai Sujiu supported Qin Yang's head again to make him more comfortable.It was only then that Xia Houxun discovered that the injured person in Bai Sujiu's arms was actually King Xi of Ming Dynasty, Qin Yang.

"...Before Bai Chenke left...asked me to take good care of his...friends..." Xia Houxun held back the tears that welled up in his eyes, clenched his fists tightly and said: "Shangshu Qiu and my concubine mother He is a member of the same clan. In terms of seniority, I can call him uncle. He quietly told me that a monster broke into the palace today. The snake demon hurt people and killed a hundred guards. The demon fox fought against it, and finally both disappeared... As a result, the matter came to the father's mouth, and it became the prince's brother and the demons pretending to be ghosts. Now the prince's brother is being interrogated by the father and the third division. However, the prince's brother has clearly been thinking about his past in the palace, how could he cause such a big incident Come."

"You said, Bai Chenke asked you to help me?" Bai Sujiu's thoughts were still stuck on Xia Houxun's first sentence.

Xia Houxun nodded, and quickly wiped his face with his sleeve: "That day, I rushed to the palace to rescue you. When I walked to the side door, I suddenly heard Bai Chenke say in my ear... let me live well... take care of you and me His friends...I looked around and saw only a white light rushing into the sky...I couldn't see his figure."

"Other than that?" Bai Sujiu lowered her head, saw that Qin Yang's eyelashes seemed to be shaking, and put one hand on his waist to send spiritual power into it.

"Your Majesty, let me come." Seeing that Bai Sujiu was also in poor condition, Bai Qiwu quickly stretched out a branch to embrace Qin Yang, and healed him with the power of the spirit tree.

Facing Bai Sujiu's empty and tired eyes, Xia Houxun said softly, "He only said these two sentences."

"...Does he hate me?" Bai Sujiu suddenly asked inexplicably.

Xia Houxun was stunned, with a tear still hanging from the corner of his eye: "What do you mean?"

"That day, I fought against the snake demon, which led to the leakage of the demon's power...and brought about the punishment of heaven...He forcibly created a barrier to save me, and finally his spiritual power was exhausted..." Bai Sujiu felt My eyes were burning hot and painful, and everything around me had phantoms again.He felt that he might be about to go blind. Are the eyes lent to him by the Peach Blossom Demon going to be taken back?

Xia Houxun shook his head: "Although I have known him for a short time, I trust him as a person. Since you are his master, you must be the person he respects the most. To protect you and die is like a soldier dying in battle. Jurong."

"No...I'm not a competent master." Bai Sujiu leaned wearily against the stone wall, her tail drooping and trembling slightly: "I killed him twice. He died because of me when he was alive, and because of me when he was a ghost. I died once. He was originally a ghost. After this farewell, it is equivalent to being scattered. Whether he can enter reincarnation in the future is a variable. Bai Chenke has no father or mother, and he is lonely after death. But the road is long, and there is no one who will send him paper money to deal with the little ghosts on the way. And I..."

Bai Sujiu coughed for a while, with a bitter taste of blood in his mouth: "And I am a demon fox who has been condemned by God. My eulogy cannot be sent to his side, and my prayers cannot impress the gods and Buddhas in all directions. What am I? killed him."

"...National teacher. I have been thinking about who Bai Chenke is like. A person like him is gentler than all his peers I have ever met. He knows right from wrong and speaks of benevolence and righteousness. Now that I know he is your disciple, I will not Strange." Xia Houxun squeezed out a smile that was uglier than crying: "You can rest assured. He was with my friend. Although I don't know what he thinks, I am sure he is my best friend. When he rescued me One life, and now he is going to Huangquan alone, I must protect him well."

Xia Houxun paused, and his eyes fell on the thin A Nian.Ah Nian was holding Bai Sujiu's arm nervously and helplessly, his cheeks were so pale that he looked sickly: "From now on, I will pay homage to him and respect him as an elder brother. I will copy Buddhist scriptures every day to take him a ride, Helping him reach bliss early. As for you, the national teacher, I understand that you are too busy to take care of yourself. If you want to help the prince brother, I will also help you."

"It's better not to get involved. I'm a monster. If you help me, you will be cast aside by the world." Bai Sujiu waved her hand.He felt a breath in his chest, and he felt a little stuffy when he spoke.Seeing that Bai Sujiu started to cough again, Ah Nian quickly helped him to follow his heart, and he didn't feel relieved until Bai Sujiu's complexion improved a little.

Xia Houxun shook his head, pretending to be relaxed: "National teacher, look at what you said. So what if thousands of people refer to the enemy of thousands of people? If you can't live according to your heart for a lifetime, doesn't it mean that you have ruined your life?" I, Xia Houxun, my mother died young, my brothers turned against each other, and my father despised me everywhere. Only the prince brother was kind, and he helped me a little when I was young. Later, I was lucky enough to make friends with you and Bai Chenke. It made me in the darkest and most confused I won't make a mistake when I'm on a errand. Since I have promised Bai Chenke to help you, I will naturally do what I say. "

"What I want to do is to lose my head. I am a demon fox. The life of a fox is worthless. If you die, you can live again. If you die..." Bai Sujiu leaned forward and said seriously: "You If it dies, it is really like a tree dying when a lamp goes out, irreversible."

"Does the national teacher want to support the crown prince's elder brother and push the father to step down? My cousin is Cheng'an Xiaowei, and he has [-] elite soldiers in his hands. Earlier in the corruption case of the doctor Yushi, his father was innocently implicated and sentenced to exile. On the way. If you want soldiers, I can persuade him." Xia Houxun said calmly: "In addition, the minister of the Ministry of punishment I just mentioned has always valued the elder brother of the prince. I will definitely stand by him."

"King Huaining, do you know what you are talking about?" Bai Sujiu said coldly.

Xia Houxun smiled: "National teacher, I have never been so sober as I am today. Father has long thought of abolishing the prince and brother and supporting King An Jin. I didn't care at all. I have lost interest in the throne anyway. However, today, I suddenly figured out what Royal Father really thinks."

"Huh?" Bai Sujiu was suddenly a little nervous.He also had some vague guesses in his heart, but the guesses were too terrifying, so he couldn't believe it.

"The first prince was forced into the palace and killed, the second prince died early, the third prince went crazy, and now it is reported that he is missing. The fourth prince, the elder brother of the prince, was imprisoned by his father. The fifth prince is me. The only thing I am more outstanding is, It is the family power of my mother and concubine." Xia Houxun paused, then continued in a low voice: "However, the national teacher knows. My mother and concubine's whole family has been included in the prince's party. Now that the family is withered, everyone in high positions is Convicted. Only the remaining cousin and Minister of the Ministry of Justice are struggling, like walking on thin ice?"

Bai Sujiu was stunned, and continued to listen to Xia Houxun's narration in silence.

"Further down are the princesses. The ninth brother died young, that is, the child in the womb of the concubine De. From this point of view, only the sixth brother is safe and sound in the royal family." Xia Houxun's eyes gradually turned cold, With a hint of gloom: "It's a pity that the sixth brother's biological mother came from a humble background. It is said that she was a court lady. She died of dystocia when she gave birth to the sixth brother. The sixth brother himself is inexperienced in the world, has no foundation, and has no support from his mother's family. He is not the smartest, and the ministers in the court are quite critical of the father's promotion of the sixth younger brother. However, the father still insists on his words, and he does not hesitate to abolish the prince's elder brother, who is the best candidate for the crown prince. National teacher, why is this? "

"...I hope it's not what I thought." Bai Sujiu took a deep breath: "Now it seems that all the princes have lost the ability to compete for favor. The prince is inexplicably suppressed by the monarch. Then There is only one answer. The monarch does not want to pass the throne at all."

"Yes. In his eyes, the sixth younger brother is the one who is the best to control. So he intends to let the sixth younger brother who is the least assertive be the crown prince so that he can be controlled by him." Xia Houxun sneered: "I should have seen it a long time ago. Why did I repeatedly Jianggong can't even exchange a piece of land; why the elder brother of the prince still lives in the palace after adulthood, and begged his father to go to the military camp to win glory for the country several times, but was rejected; why the eldest brother is obviously capable, but his father keeps reprimanding him Because he could not be reused, he felt jealous and chose to force the palace. The third brother was stupid because his father let him go since he was a child. The Dahanlin of the Hanlin Academy sued his father that his third brother played truant, but his father was indifferent. Because Father, the only thing he values ​​is the position under his buttocks. We, the princes, are just his stumbling blocks."

"However, the tiger's poison still doesn't eat its offspring. The monarch is like this...doesn't he cut off his own escape path?" Bai Sujiu hesitated for a moment, and then told the truth: "I will tell you the truth. I know some numerology, and the monarch does not Longevity, now he is almost at the end of his life."

"No... there is one thing..." Qin Yang who was beside Bai Qiwu woke up at some point, exhaled with difficulty and said, "Before, I went to investigate the case of Dr. Doctor Shi...had secretly entered the palace several times, and talked with the monarch at night...during those times, he was obviously the monarch...During the period of serious illness and coma...that is to say..."

"The monarch is pretending to be sick?!" Bai Sujiu was astonished, and suddenly realized a big problem: "Where is Jun Nanheng?! Bai Qiwu, didn't you take him with you when you escaped?!"

"Master Ruan, among the Taoist priests who entered the palace to subdue demons this time, Daoist Ruan Kong is also there." Bai Qiwu bit his lips: "He was the first person to break into my enchantment. Jun Nanheng said he Master may have come to save him. He returned to Master Ruan Kong... During the discussion between the two of them, I had the opportunity to take Ah Nian away."

"Confused! That old thief Ruan Kong!" Bai Sujiu thought of something again, and the fox's tail shrugged: "It's broken. Nanheng was engraved with murder for no reason, and it must be related to those talisman papers. Master Ruan Kong is behind the scenes. Those talisman papers were not for the monarch to strengthen his yuan, but probably had other functions. This caused Nanheng to be implicated. Now it seems that the monarch may have conspired with him and found a way to continue his life... Otherwise he would not I will deal with every prince so confidently and boldly."

"National teacher. To sum up, I will be dead sooner or later." Xia Houxun is still very calm, his eyes are burning: "National teacher, make a decision. Fight to the death, we may still have a way out."

"Okay, I..." Bai Sujiu was about to get up, when Qin Yang suddenly growled: "National teacher. You can't beat him. Now is a good time for you to get out of the business. Bring King Huaining, Tree Demon, And that sick child, it's best for us to hide in the mountains."

"Where is the prince?! You want me to give him up?!" Bai Sujiu was annoyed.

Qin Yang grabbed Bai Qiwu's sleeve and sat up, his forehead was covered with cold sweat from the pain: "National Teacher! His Highness the Crown Prince has his own destiny! You have been led by the monarch and Master Ruan Kong to the present, There is no capital to fight against it! The Dao of Heaven is staring at you, that person... Bai Ze will not help you, he would like to find a way to drag you into hell. Neither you nor the right time and place will take advantage of it. What are you fighting for?!"

"Xiahouzan is my apprentice!" Bai Sujiu's voice was trembling: "Qin Yang. I have already lost my disciples because of a 'miss'; Xiahouzan called me Master, I can't let him die No help."

"National Teacher...you...you can't..." Qin Yang was furious and spurted out a big mouthful of black blood.Bai Qiwu was startled, and hurriedly followed his back.Bai Sujiu looked at Qin Yang anxiously, then turned to look at Xia Houxun with a complicated expression.Suddenly reached out and pulled his sleeve and walked out.

"Bai Sujiu... come back..." Qin Yang struggled to catch him, but was pulled back by Bai Qiwu.Bai Sujiu's heart was blocked, she narrowed her eyes slightly and dared not turn her head.The moment he walked to the entrance of the cave, Qin Yang suddenly roared:

"Su Jiu! Can't you turn around and look at me!"

Immediately afterwards, Qin Yang coughed up a puddle of black blood and passed out.Bai Qiwu exclaimed, and hastily set up a formation to send spiritual energy to him.Bai Sujiu paused, and walked out of the cave without hesitation...
