The National Teacher is a Rabbit Spirit

"How's the situation?" Pei Shao asked immediately when he saw the supervisor approaching.

The supervisor didn't answer right away, Pei Shao was a little surprised, and wondered if something serious happened?It wasn't until he followed his gaze towards Bai Zimu that he suddenly realized.

This supervisor once blocked the enemy for him when he escaped from the palace. He has a low official position but has always been loyal to the emperor. In addition, he has a strange appearance, which is unforgettable at first sight. After returning, Pei Shao appointed him as the supervisor to join the army of King Qin.

"This is the teacher of the state. If you have anything to say, just say it." Pei Shao said, Cao Yun, the supervising officer, nodded and bowed to Bai Zimu before he opened his mouth.

"Yesterday, our army won a big victory. The rebels lost more than [-] soldiers. This morning, they attacked again and lost more than [-] people. Now they have died down and retreated outside the city." Cao Yun said.The king of Qin and the king of Jin were both garrisoned in their respective fiefs in the past, and their military talents were outstanding. In addition, the imperial army in the city and the army mobilized by the king of Jin were all elite, and they took advantage of the convenience of defending the city, so they won the victory.

Hearing what he said, Pei Shao heaved a sigh of relief, but before the breath was completely conveyed, Cao Yun spoke again.

"But... the regent also lost nearly a thousand soldiers, and a lot of fire oil and other things to guard the city. Therefore, the regent wrote a memorial requesting funds by himself, and ordered the minister to come and ask His Majesty for instructions."

Cao Yun knelt in front of Pei Shao and handed the memorial to Pei Shao.

He is from Pei Shao's side, so he is not popular among the Qin King's army, and now he is sent to the palace again, and he is both disturbed and angry.

The worry was that Pei Shao would get angry when seeing King Qin's lion open his mouth, and implicate himself; what was angry was that King Qin, as the emperor's uncle, would commit crimes against others and demand too much, and he didn't know what conspiracy he had.

He couldn't see Pei Shao's expression, he could only hear the sound of Pei Shao flipping through the memorial, his heartbeat was beating like a drum, and it seemed that he had been suffering for several hours before the time had passed, and even his back was soaked.

"The regent has made meritorious deeds in defending against the enemy, so he will be allocated gold and silver supplies as requested by the emperor's uncle." There was no trace of anger or reluctance in Pei Shao's words. Cao Yun looked up at him with an incredulous expression on his face.

The King of Qin not only asked for materials for defending the city, but also asked for rewards from the emperor for the soldiers in the army, including those who died in battle.

The national treasury was looted once by the King of Qin, and now it is difficult to support so many rewards, not to mention that the King of Qin will only use the money to buy his own prestige in the army, which will not benefit Pei Shao at all.

"Your Majesty..." Cao Yun was hesitant to speak, but others spoke lightly. He thought that the emperor and the regent were at odds, but now he found that the little emperor seemed to be conniving with King Qin. If he said more, he would be provoking his uncle and nephew relation.

"You've done a good job. Go and return to the emperor's uncle." Pei Shao looked at him with a smile, his expression was amiable. Cao Yun opened his mouth and closed it again. He couldn't say anything else. Return to King Qin.

When Cao Yun left, only Pei Shao and Bai Zimu were left in the room.Pei Shao looked at Bai Zimu and felt that he was dressed extremely well now.

The national teacher got up at noon, and Xiaoyan brought a new set of clothes. This was a set of regular clothes that he made for Pei Shao a few months ago, but he never wore them. Now he took them out for Bai Zimu to wear. suitable.

This suit is made of brocade which is a special product in the south of the Yangtze River. It is pure white and embroidered with dark red patterns, which suits Bai Zimu's appearance.However, Pei Shao's skeleton was bigger than Bai Zimu's, and the national teacher looked a little smaller in this suit, which was even more interesting in the eyes of the little emperor.

"I came here because I wanted to see you." Bai Zimu had restrained himself just now, but now he was gone, he held Pei Shao's hand.Pei Shao looked at their intertwined hands, Bai Zimu was about the same size as him, and his hands were not smaller than his, but they were fairer and slender, like fine white jade.

When Pei Shao sneaked away today, he also thought about why Bai Zimu would save him, and why he likes to cling to him.According to his past personality, he wanted to find out about these questions as soon as possible, but when he saw Bai Zimu now, he didn't want to ask, he just wanted to look at him.

"Look at what the regent is doing." Pei Shao said, Bai Zimu stretched out his finger to touch the bronze mirror on the table, and a familiar figure appeared in the mirror.

The war has ceased today, and the regent is having a banquet with his subordinates, accompanied by dancers, and the music is wafting.

Seeing that everyone in the mirror was eating, Pei Shao had no appetite because of Cao Yun's arrival, but now he felt empty in his stomach, and it was time for him to eat.

So he asked the eunuch who was guarding outside the door to prepare dinner, and eat it with the national teacher today, as long as there are some delicate dishes, not too much.The imperial dining room had already prepared dinner, and it was brought over not long after. A row of eunuchs came to serve and prepared to test poison for Pei Shao, but Pei Shao screened him out.

"This table is non-toxic." Bai Zimu said.Last time he had to smell it, but this time he could tell at a glance whether there was toxin in the food, which saved a lot of trouble.Pei Shao just wanted to have dinner with Bai Zimu at the moment, and Bai Zimu didn't want others to disturb them, so he sang along with each other and cooperated carefully.

"This..." The eunuch who tested the poison looked at Pei Shao, still feeling something wrong in his heart, but he didn't dare to say that he didn't trust the national teacher in front of Pei Shao.

"Before returning to the palace, the regent sent me poisonous tea. Fortunately, the national teacher clearly distinguished it and used fairy magic to remove the toxin. Only then can I return to the palace safely. You don't need to be suspicious." Pei Shao explained, and then showed that he didn't want to Let's talk about it.People who can serve the emperor are not stupid. Hearing what he said, he is naturally convinced. With Bai Zimu taking care of him, nothing will happen to Pei Shao.

After finally driving everyone away, Pei Shao laughed, picked up a bunch of fried spring rolls and put them on Bai Zimu's plate.Bai Zimu took a bite. The deep-fried spring rolls were golden and crispy, and the crab roe and crab meat were sandwiched inside. It was soft and sweet without any fishy smell.

While eating, Pei Shao introduced the dishes to Bai Zimu, as well as the origins and some interesting stories he knew. These stories were what he had heard or read over the years.He watched Bai Zimu listen to the stories he told with fascination, and he felt a little tasteless when he ate, so he was satisfied, so he told more.

While the two were eating, Pei Shao did not forget to pay attention to the situation at the Prince Regent's side.At this moment, the regent received Cao Yun who replied, and he had been hanging out for a while.Seeing that Cao Yun interrupted the banquet, the few people sitting next to him were displeased, but the regent was kind and even rewarded Cao Yun with a dancer.

After Cao Yun left, everyone chatted and laughed again, as if they had never been disturbed by him.

After dinner, Pei Shao stayed here to review the memorial, and Bai Zimuan sat beside him quietly, occasionally looking at the contents of the memorial, and the rest of the time he was either looking at Pei Shao or looking at the regent's face in the mirror. trend.

After the banquet was over, the regent just left a few counselors to discuss business in the study.

"It's started." Bai Zimu reminded Pei Shao that what he saw just now was nothing important, and now is the focus of peeping.Hearing what he said, Pei Shao put down the memorial in his hand and leaned over to look at the bronze mirror.

He originally held Bai Zimu's hand with one hand, but now he put the other hand on the other's hand. Bai Zimu was a little tired after sitting for a long time, so he leaned on Pei Shao's body with natural movements. No one moved or spoke.

The regent was very cautious, and after he screened off the others, he went to check it out, just in case someone was staring at him, and he didn't speak until he confirmed that no one was watching.

Bai Zimu felt that Pei Shao's hand tightened a little, and the other person's breathing became lighter, for fear that he might miss any words.The regent first talked with several counselors about his memorial today.

"The little emperor agreed to the lonely king's request, there must be fraud in it." The regent said, and several counselors nodded frequently.

"The emperor has that national teacher by his side, so he shouldn't be afraid of us. Now that he is pretending, there must be a conspiracy behind it." A counselor surnamed Zhu said.

"It must be to let us relax our guard and take the opportunity to win over the officials in Beijing. The little emperor has deep thoughts, and the regent must not be careless. If there is a chance, he will..." He didn't finish his sentence, but everyone present knew it well .The regent sighed, he only regretted that he took the opportunity to poison the little emperor when he was not in the palace, otherwise how could he bring back such a difficult person?

"The deal is done. The most important thing is not the past mistakes, but how to do it in the future. If the prince still wants to gain a foothold in Beijing, he must get rid of this national teacher. Without the national teacher, even if the little emperor has great abilities, he will not be able to escape." The Prince's Wuzhishan." Another counselor surnamed Qian said.

"Of course the lonely king wants to get rid of him, but how do we get rid of this monster?" The regent looked at several people.

"Since there are such monsters, there must be someone in the world who can restrain them. To get rid of the monsters, we must find monks and Taoists. I have sent people to look for a master who has learned the Tao. I believe they will be found soon." The counselor surnamed Qian said again. .

"Monks and Taoists are all superficial things. They usually only tell people's fortunes and have no Taoism. I know one person here who may know more." The counselor surnamed Zhu said to the counselor surnamed Qian, Both of them have a close relationship with the Prince Regent, and they can't understand each other on weekdays, and they often confront each other, and this is naturally the case today.

"Oh, who is it?" In the past, the regent would definitely be angry because of their open and secret struggles, but today he was attracted by what the counselor surnamed Zhu said, and he didn't care.

"The former national teacher." The counselor replied.

"National teacher of the former dynasty." Pei Shao murmured. It is said that the man had an extremely long lifespan. He was already alive when the former dynasty was established, and disappeared after the former dynasty was overthrown. So he is still alive?

"Is he also a rabbit? Or a snake?" Bai Zimu asked when he heard that there was also a national teacher in the previous dynasty. Pei Shao was still nervous, so he laughed.

"He is a human being and has lived a long life, but he probably has little ability. Otherwise, how could the previous dynasty be replaced so quickly." Pei Shao said, Bai Zimu was also thinking, the two listened to the regent and the others continue to talk about this matter, It turned out that they didn't know where the former national teacher was, but they only had some clues.

"He can live for a long time, maybe he also has some spiritual power." Bai Zimu said, he doesn't know much about common sense in the world, but after living for so many years, he naturally knows something about himself.

"What is spiritual power?"
