The National Teacher is a Rabbit Spirit

Chapter 22: One Arrow and Two Eagles

Pei Shao sent someone to arrest Taoist Zhengyan, put him in prison with the so-called evidence, and sentenced him to beheaded. The little Taoist boy was also imprisoned in the prison, waiting to be dealt with.

Taoist Zhengyan knew that there was no hope for his struggle. He had been by Bai Zimu's side for so long, and he didn't know how to take his spiritual power.His name is a cultivator, but he is actually an ordinary mortal. How could he possibly win against the wily King Regent and the equally scheming Pei Shao?

So he didn't struggle at all, at least he wanted to die decently.

He was calmly waiting for death when he heard footsteps.

"Your Majesty." Taoist Zhengyan suddenly felt unwilling when he saw Pei Shao and Bai Zimu who were inseparable beside him.

"The regent king is ambitious. Even if His Majesty kills the poor, he will invite more powerful people to seize the throne and seize power!"

"I know." With a clear expression on Pei Shao's face, Zheng Yan suddenly had a little hope, he struggled to reach out from the middle of the railing, trying to pull Pei Shao's sleeve.

But before his hand came over, Bai Zimu grabbed Pei Shao's sleeve.

"But you deserve to die." Pei Shao's face was cold, without a trace of pity.

"I know that you provided the poison and witchcraft that the King Regent used in the Imperial Teacher's Mansion. It's just that the Imperial Teacher can remove the poison with fairy magic. Otherwise, you and the King Regent have already fulfilled their wish." Pei Shao used the other hand to hold the clothes The sleeve was passed to Bai Zimu's hand again, and Bai Zimu directly grabbed his hands to prevent him from getting any dirt from the dungeon.

At this moment, Taoist Zhengyan had no intention of paying attention to the small actions between them. He knew that he was almost hopeless, but since Pei Shao came, he must be of some use value.

"I don't fight with you either. I came here today because I want to ask you some questions. If you tell the truth, I can let your little Taoist boy go and give you a proper burial."

"Is there any choice for the poor Daoist?" Taoist Zhengyan knew that the one he felt most sorry for was the little Daoist boy who followed him. Since he fell into such a situation, he should also think about him.

"Does your teacher have a way to cultivate with spiritual power?" Pei Shao asked.

"Naturally, there were some people in our sect who became immortals, but it was too long ago. In ancient times, the human world was full of aura. Until the Qin and Han Dynasties, there were still people who could ascend to immortality. But by then, the rumors of immortals had gradually decreased, and the aura in the world had become thinner. Daoist Zhengyan is not deep in his mind, otherwise he would not have been put together.Up to now, he has not concealed it on purpose, and these anecdotes could not be used as bargaining chips at all. He simply said a lot.

"When did that disappear completely?" Pei Shao asked again.

"About the fifth generation, there was no one in the sect who was able to practice, but there were occasional people who seemed to have spiritual power. After I entered the Taoist sect, I had no spiritual power. If I had never met the national teacher, I would have thought The spiritual energy between heaven and earth has disappeared."

"It is true that there is no spiritual power in the world at this time." Bai Zimu continued.

"Then have you ever heard of any fairy legends about the disappearance of spiritual power?"

"I've never heard of it. There are a lot of records scattered in the master's gate, and this is the only information left." Taoist Zhengyan really doesn't know why the spiritual power disappears, otherwise he can always use it to do something, why bother? to the present situation.

Pei Shao asked some more questions he wanted to know, and Bai Zimu listened intently.Although Taoist Zhengyan doesn't have any real abilities, his sect does have some foundations, and by patching it together, he can calculate the time when the aura disappears.Then before the aura starts to thin out, maybe the gods no longer exist.

The use value of Taoist Zhengyan was completely squeezed out, and Pei Shao appointed guards to guard him. He did what he said, and soon sent the little Taoist boy away from Chang'an, and put him in a place where there is no influence of the regent. , while Taoist Zhengyan was executed on time.

Unexpectedly, on the day of the execution, Taoist Zhengyan shouted out the regent's conspiracy to the onlookers.

It's a pity that he only said a paragraph before he was beheaded by the executioner.

"Immortals really existed in this world, Zimu. You have spiritual power, and you may have seen some immortals." After Taoist Zhengyan was executed, Pei Shao went to the National Teacher's Mansion to sleep again, and Bai Zimu's bed also had A special smell made Pei Shao feel sleepier than his own.

"I don't remember." Bai Zimu has no impression of gods at all, except for Pei Shao, he only remembers seeing a few woodcutters cutting firewood, and the rest of the time he only saw small animals on Sheshan.But none of these little animals had intelligence, nor his kind. There were only gray hares here, and no white ones.

"Zimu, do you want to know about your past?" Pei Shao asked him softly with his eyes closed.Like Bai Zimu, he thought about where his national teacher came from, but he never told Bai Zimu.

"Think." Although Bai Zimu didn't tell Pei Shao what he thought before, he didn't hide it from him at this time.

"I'll help you find it. Where did you come from?" Pei Shao suddenly felt that the national teacher was pitiful, and he didn't even know where he came from.He turned sideways, couldn't help reaching out his arms to embrace Bai Zimu, and hugged him in his arms.

Bai Zimu didn't even realize how pitiful he was, so he was hugged by Pei Shao. This hug was different from the last time.For a moment, his body was extremely stiff, and before Pei Shao felt it was inappropriate to let go of him, he suddenly disappeared, replaced by a bulge under the quilt.

Pei Shao carefully lifted Bai Zimu's quilt, and saw the familiar white rabbit lying on the bed in a haze, with a pair of red eyes open, the three-petal mouth trembling slightly, and two ears looking at him.

Bai Zimu didn't like to become a prototype, and it seemed that he was really stimulated just now. Pei Shao smiled secretly, and put his hand in front of Bai Zimu.

The little rabbit lowered its head and stuck out its tongue to lick Pei Shao's hand. It looked at Pei Shao with its red eyes for a long time before lying in Pei Shao's arms.

Pei Shao pinched his ears, and in exchange for the national teacher's unhappy hum, he smiled and rubbed the little rabbit's forehead, stroking his forehead and ears along his forehead.The little rabbit's fur was white and soft. Pei Shao stroked his back along his body, rubbed the white rabbit until it became limp, closed his eyes, and fell asleep in Pei Shao's arms.

The national teacher slept soundly, and Pei Shao slept well with the warm rabbit in his arms, and he was also full of energy when he went to court the next day.

"Although the regent is the victim, the Taoist priest was invited by the regent to arrange with the majesty and the national teacher. Since he can harm the regent with evil intentions, he may use the same method to harm your majesty. Regarding this matter, the regent He deserves to be punished." An official made a generous speech, obviously instructed by Pei Shao, his words were sharp, and he seemed to want to put the regent to death.

"After all, the Regent is my own uncle, and I invited Zheng Yan to help the national teacher. I can't bear to punish my uncle. But this matter has a great impact. If we don't do anything about it, it will inevitably attract criticism. We can only do it." I have wronged the emperor." Pei Shao and the official sang together, directly blocking the regent so that he could not utter a word of rebuttal.

After this period of cleaning, Pei Shao had already removed most of the regent's minions in the court.He did not deal with it on the grounds of befriending the regent, but found various reasons, such as corruption and bribery, disrespect to the emperor, and intention to rebel.Those who are willing to follow the regent are not honest and honest officials. Although it cannot be said that it is not easy to find a handle on them, it is very easy.

With Bai Zimu sitting in the court, the regent could not act rashly and could only watch his wings being cut off bit by bit.

Listening to Pei Shao's treatment of him, the regent clenched his fists tightly.Since he was born, where has he been wronged like this?When the first emperor succeeded to the throne, he was arranged to be a vassal in Qin, and he was never short of rewards of gold and silver. Before that, he was also quite loved by his father, and his treatment was no worse than that of the first emperor.

Now his nephew has become the emperor, but he has repeatedly defeated him, seized his military power, and collected his money.During this period of time, Pei Shao ransacked the homes of many officials who followed him and enriched the national treasury, but today he actually turned his mind on him.

The regent cast his gaze on Bai Zimu involuntarily. Bai Zimu felt his gaze, glanced at him, and then turned his head away.

"Thank you Your Majesty for your forgiveness. I will be cautious in my words and deeds in the future." He lowered his head, but he had already started to plan the next step in his heart.
