Train to Another World

Things decided by Emperor Mingde, Grand Tutor Dong, and Minister Sun were just a formality at the court meeting. So after the small meeting in the imperial study, Minister Sun returned to the Ministry of War to arrange preparations for the march.

As expected, at the court meeting a few days later. The Imperial Observatory and the Taoist Temple reported the abnormalities in the north. Then Minister Sun stepped out and said the plan that had been decided long ago, and then Grand Tutor Dong seconded it.

None of the civil officials, military officials, and people from the outside who were on secondment in the court raised any objections. Seeing this, Emperor Mingde accepted Minister Sun's proposal.

Things were going very smoothly, but when Minister Sun returned to the mansion, he was invited to the study by the housekeeper.

The maid used a teapot to pour tea into a large bowl and placed it on the desk in the study. Minister Sun took off his purple robe and put it on the hanger beside him, picked up the large bowl and drank most of it. Seeing this, the maid filled Minister Sun's cup with tea.

Sun Shangshu waved his hand, and the maid put down the big teapot and bowed to leave.

Seeing that there was no one in the study, the housekeeper approached Sun Shangshu and whispered: "The spies from Heiyuan Pass sent a message."

Sun Shangshu still looked calm, but his hands on his legs were clenched into fists: "Heiyuan Pass...what's going on?"

The housekeeper said with joy: "Thank the ancestors, the soldiers on Heiyuan Pass only disappeared for a moment and then resumed their duties. We also saw the fourth brother show up, unharmed.

It's just that a rift suddenly appeared outside the pass. The spies speculated that the monsters came out of the rift. There was also a group of strange people who came from Heiyuan Pass and stayed in the market.

Some of these strange people looked like barbarians, but they were sent into the pass by the soldiers of Heiyuan Pass, so they should not be barbarians. The most special thing is that some of these strange people have the magic of ripening fruits and vegetables. If we can ask these people to become offerings, then..."

Pah!

Sun Shangshu slammed his fist on the table, startling the housekeeper. But after all, he was an old housekeeper who had stayed at home for decades, so he was not afraid. Instead, he looked at Sun Shangshu worriedly: "Master..."

"Alas!" Sun Shangshu rubbed his eyebrows: "This matter... Let's take a long-term view on this matter. Has the Heiyuan Pass released a carrier pigeon?"

The housekeeper replied: "Yes, it was released at about the same time as our spies. But it was a carrier pigeon from the Ministry of War. After receiving it, it will be sent directly to the Ministry of War. If the master has not seen it today, maybe he will see it when he goes to the government office tomorrow."

Hearing that a carrier pigeon was sent from Heiyuan Pass, Sun Shangshu's face relaxed a little, but then he remembered something, sighed and said: "Take it I will take my name card and go to see Wang Jianzheng of the Imperial Observatory and Wu Abbot of the Taoist Temple. I will tell them that I will prepare some vegetarian wine at home after I finish my duty tomorrow and invite them to come to my house for a chat. "

"Master, the Imperial Observatory and the Taoist Temple..."

"Hmph! Do I have to look at their faces when I invite them to drink? So what if I make friends with strange people? Among all the civil and military officials in the court, only the old man Dong Ze and Dong Siyuan have the courage to report me. If he wants to report me, let him report me. It would be best if he can report away the purple robe! I am happy to be idle."

Seeing his master say this, the housekeeper stopped admonishing him and could only reply: "I know, master."

After finishing his meditation, Wang Jianzheng of the Imperial Observatory performed a set of body-building boxing and prepared to wash up and go to bed. Watching the stars at night, anyway, he has opened his clairvoyance, so there is no time to not watch the stars, and the night is for sleeping.

Just as he was about to fall asleep, he suddenly heard a voice coming from the bronze mirror on the table: "Brother Daoist, Brother Shen Yuzi, are you asleep?"

Shen Yuzi is the Daoist name of Wang Jianzheng. Since he took up the post of the Director of the Imperial Observatory last year, few people have called him by his Daoist name. Wang Jianzheng sat up from the bed helplessly, came to the bronze mirror, and looked at the figure in the bronze mirror.

"Brother Lingchen's round light technique has improved again. I wonder what you want to see me for late at night?" Lingchen is the Daoist name of Abbot Wu of the Taoist Temple.

"Brother, did the people from Shangshu Sun's house come to see you today?"

Wang Jianzheng yawned: "Yes, and it seems that they have come to see you too. I heard that Shangshu Sun has a very bad relationship with his youngest son?"

"Alas, after all, they are flesh and blood. How can there be any deep hatred between father and son?"

"That's right. By the way, what do you want to see me about?"

"I am a curious person, so I asked for a fortune."

Wang Jianzheng was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then bowed to the bronze mirror: "I admire you. You predicted a senior official in the court, and the Minister of War. Seeing that you are so energetic, you are not hurt by the dragon energy of the dynasty and the evil energy of the military. Could it be that you have achieved the fruit position?"

Abbot Wu waved his hand: "How is it possible? I didn't predict Shangshu Sun, but his youngest son Sun Wei, Sun Bugui."

"What's going on?"

Abbot Wu's face condensed: "Nothing. Do you remember what you observed in the Imperial Observatory?"

"You mean?"

Abbot Wu lowered his voice: "I'm afraid that the visitor has bad intentions. I don't even dare to confirm whether Sun Bugui is dead or alive. I heard, I just heard that this time when the strange beast attacked, Heiyuanguan only sent out a distress letter, and did not shoot the red light arrow.

You also know that this red light arrow is based on the secret method of my Taoist Red Light Sword. The red light arrow can be used by igniting it with martial arts true energy or Taoist magic power.

Without the red light arrow, will there be no one with martial arts true energy in Heiyuanguan?"

"Don't make this joke. That is an important border area of ​​Dashun, and Shangshu Sun only has this one son left. Uh, only this one lively son is left."

"So, why do you think Shangshu Sun invited us to his house for a drink for no reason? I came to you to discuss, what should we talk about tomorrow?"

"Ah, I'm not good at talking..."

"Haha, Taoist brother, you're joking."

Wang Jianzheng thought for a while: "If it's just Shangshu's family affairs, we will naturally take care of Shangshu Sun's feelings. But this matter is also related to the safety of Dashun, we can only tell him clearly and can't omit anything."

Abbot Wu nodded: "It's the same as I thought, it seems that this is the only way, then tomorrow..."

"We are together, don't try to hide."

"Brother Taoist misunderstood me."

"We entered the world at the same time, and we have been together for a year. How could I not know who you are?"

"..."

"It's getting late, disperse the magic."

Abbot Wu on the other side of the bronze mirror nodded, waved his hand, and the figure in the bronze mirror disappeared. Wang Jianzheng stood up, stretched, took out his cloak and put it on, opened the door, and went to the Observatory.

He complained as he walked: "I am destined to be tired. I have to go to the stars at night, ah!"

Going up to the Observatory, the sky is clear tonight. Wang Jianzheng used his magic power in his eyes, and the already bright starry sky was reflected in his eyes, which was a gorgeous galaxy.

"Huh? Eh?! No, no, I must have seen it wrong, take another look. Oh~ Wuliang, that Tianzun!"
