Chapter 126: The First Fire of the Rising Tide

Ning Yi closed his eyes and unfolded a picture scroll in his mind.

Li Baitao delivered a letter for herself in the murder of Liuli Mountain, if she was not willing to rescue, Mr. Zhou You would not appear in time at the last moment, then she and the girl had dissolved in the killing intent of the snow disaster.

Ning Yi must find out the whereabouts of Princess Da Sui, if Li Baitao was "robbed" for her own reasons, then this debt must be repaid.

The context of this matter has been clarified.

Luo Changsheng's death and Li Baitao's disappearance all point to the ethereal Fourth Division of Tiandu and the "unfathomable" prince in Yun Xun's mouth.

Li Baijiao should not be underestimated.

"If I guessed correctly, the prince raised Xu Qingyan, just waiting for you to return to Tiandu. ”

Yun Xun took out a case file again, pressed it on the table and slowly pushed it over.

Ning Yi narrowed his eyes, "What is this?"

"The migration record of the ancient books of Tiandu. Yun Xun said a clue that had nothing to do with this matter, he did not slow down, picked up the jade pot, added tea to his teacup, and at the same time told the hidden information behind this clue, "Before I left Tiandu, I noticed that the prince was migrating ancient books, and the ancient books in the library were originally guarded by special people. ”

Ning Yi flipped through the case file, did not move, and patiently listened to Yun Xun's mouth.

"Ning Yi, you have been in Tiandu for half a year, and Pope Chen Yi borrowed many ancient books in the library for you, I think you know...... The library has always been co-managed by the three divisions and the two sects, and the prince's transfer of the library is actually 'exchanging blood'. Yun Xun said softly: "The original personnel left behind in the library by the Intelligence Department have not changed, but the library is empty, what use are they for?"

"Tiandu Library, originally affiliated to the Lotus Pavilion, after the teacher's death, the only one who really has the right to mobilize the core scroll is the prince, His Majesty has no news after entering the Changling, the prince opened the last door of the library with the imperial power key a few months later, and announced that he would take over the Tiandu Imperial City for his father, as well as the large and small forces in Zhongzhou. Yun Xun said with a smile: "Since then, I have been paying attention to his 'changes', boiling frogs in warm water for three years, not in a hurry to swallow the eastern realm, not in a hurry to take back the northern realm, nor in a hurry to kill the 'former dynasty criminals', and those 'traitors and backbones'...... The sky is peaceful and everything is going well, but I know that there are still embers from the fierce tide three years ago, and they will still ignite one day, so I always keep an eye on the white ash in the embers. ”

"This is the first fire of the rising tide. ”

The prince selectively placed the ancient books that had been relocated from the library to a new location...... If nothing else, part of it was placed in the location of the 'Fourth Division', and the other part was placed in the East Chamber. Yun Xun looked calm, raised two fingers, and said in an unkind tone, "It shows that Dongxiang is an extremely 'safe' place, or a place that the prince can trust enough, in other words, Xu Qingyan is also a person that the prince believes in enough." ”

Ning Yi lowered his eyebrows.

"Xu Qingyan left Tiandu and went to the Purple Mountain Wind and Snow Plain, and the prince was never angry even about such trespassing......" Yun Xun smiled playfully, "Mr. Ning, why is the prince so relieved?"

Ning Yi had to think from a very bad angle.

Yun Xun successfully used some words to establish the image of the prince as "scheming and ruthless", the head of the intelligence department has suffered from the sword in the past three years, and the fierce tide of Tiandu three years ago has been burning in his heart, always wary of the prince to do something to him...... I have to say that the prince's move of "hanging in suspense" for the affairs of the previous dynasty is really ruthless.

The only thing that can make the prince trust is the thing in his hand.

Always under control...... In other words, it can be "destroyed" at any time.

Yun Xun, who is now ordered to send an envoy to Lingshan, is actually such a "plaything".

"Even send Xu Qingyan to Luojia Mountain to practice?" Yun Xun shook his head, "If nothing else, Miss Xu's body also has 'poison', and the prince used similar methods to her as me, so he doesn't have to worry...... As long as that person still wants to live, then he has to be subject to him. ”

A conjecture with possibilities.

But Ning Yi didn't think so in his heart.

He met the crown prince several times.

If you need to rely on "poisoning" to control a person, then Li Baijiao would not be able to get to where he is today.

But Yun Xun was right about one thing, the prince was so relieved of Xu Qingyan...... There must be a reason.

......

......

"The negotiation with Lingshan is only half a month later, and the prince hopes that the two sects of Lingshan's Zen Law can reach an agreement on the matter of the 'Eastern Territory' and sign a 'contract' with Tiandu, so as to avoid the expansion of the war situation in the future. ”

The wind blows in the bamboo building.

Several copywriting files were placed on the table by Yun Xun, and these are the contents of Tiandu's mission.

The contradiction between Tiandu and the eastern border has become increasingly intense, and the matter has reached a point where it is difficult to resolve it peacefully...... It can be seen from the response of the second prince Li Baijing that Liuli Mountain raised ghosts and cultivated ghosts and bought the Southern Xinjiang sect, which was to borrow a realm of luck to compete with the sky.

Iron Law Edict, Three Dragons Compete for the Throne, Before a new emperor ascends the throne, the teacher selected by each successor can be used as a power to compete...... Mr. Yuan Chun's purple lotus flower withered in the scorching tide, but the nectar of Liuli Mountain was still alive.

Ye Changfeng nailed Han Yue's deity to the bottom of the mountain.

But it does not prevent the ghost cultivation from growing, if one day Han Yue breaks away from the mundane body and stands under the light, this battle for the throne may have a turning point.

This was the last straw for Li Baijing's hope.

"Before the Tiandu Mission, the Eastern Realm must have talked to Lingshan. Yun Xun said very firmly, "It's just that Lingshan can't sign the so-called 'agreement', Li Baijing must have promised Lingshan great benefits, and the only thing that the eastern realm can rely on is Lingshan, but Buddhism depends on the attitude of the imperial city, this is the meaning of my mission." ”

Ning Yi fell into deep thought.

Yun Xun's intelligence department is in the four realms of the Great Sui.

But it's only in the four realms of the Great Sui.

Apparently he has not yet received information about "Dongtu".

The fire that broke out in Mingsha Mountain, the information is still being blocked, and because of the deep-rooted Buddhist beliefs, it is still difficult for the officials of the three divisions to move an inch in Dongtu.

Ning Yi knew that it was a big crime for the ghost cultivators in the eastern realm to plunder the luck of Xiaoleiyin Temple and interfere with the dispute over the Zen law of the Bathing Buddha Dharma Association.

Song Que has just returned to Lingshan, and after this matter is reported to the Daxiong Treasure Palace, Lingshan's attitude towards the eastern realm will change dramatically, and he may even "crusade" against Liuli Mountain on this matter.

It is difficult for the prince's envoy not to succeed under this thrust...... What is Yun Xun worried about?

Ning Yi picked up the tea and took a sip gently.

"What is the prince going to give?"

Yun Xun's expression was a little gloomy, he looked at Ning Yi, and said very seriously: "The prince is not ready to give anything." ”

Ning Yi fell silent.

"The crown prince wants Lingshan to surrender, as a condition for signing a contract, the Buddha can not enter the capital, the annual tribute will be reduced, and on the day the war breaks out in the east, Lingshan will go out with Tiandu. Yun Xun's eyes were full of sarcasm, when the prince handed over this document to himself, his reaction was similar to Ning Yi's, as the capital of the world, the imperial city almost didn't give any substantive promises and benefits.

"I want to understand the chips in the East. The head of the Intelligence Department only felt a headache, "A long time ago, I had dealt with the two great sect masters of the Zen Law. The practitioners of Buddhism seem to have pure hearts and no desires, but in fact, they are all nonsense, at least Mu Heng and Jin Yi are exceptions...... Over the years, Buddhism has been fighting infighting, fighting fiercely, before entering the palace, I probably got the news of the 'envoy', I wanted to persuade one of the Zen laws to give enough benefits within my authority, but the prince's documents made me unable to figure it out. ”

Nothing is given.

Unwilling to give anything.

Ning Yi flipped through these scrolls, and what he saw between the lines was not the shy prince who treated him politely in the Spring Breeze Pavilion.

Rather, he is an iron-blooded and ruthless young "king".

The four realms should surrender to me.

"Your idea before leaving the imperial capital is right, water and fire are incompatible in Lingshan, choose the winner of the Zen law infighting, and win it over. Ning Yi said lightly: "But the prince can see farther than you." ”

Yun Xun frowned.

"The end of the Zen law controversy is out. Ning Yi closed the document and said meaningfully: "Neither Zen nor Vinaya wins, so what you have to convince now is the entire Lingshan, if nothing else, it will not be Mu Heng or Jin Yi who will negotiate with you...... It's the new Buddha of this spiritual mountain, the lark. ”

Yun Xun narrowed his eyes and tapped his fingers on the tabletop.

"Again, I will not forcibly interfere in this negotiation...... There is a limit to what I can do to help you, because my influence in Lingshan is limited. Ning Yi pondered for a moment and said slowly: "You have found the right person." In my limited influence, I was fortunate enough to include the new Buddha of Lingshan. ”

There is one thing that Ning Yi can't understand.

Yun Xun sent an envoy, and the prince issued an edict, and the results of the Zen law dispute before this could not be transmitted to Tiandu at all.

How did Li Baijiao guess the existence of the "variable" of the lark?

Or does he not need to guess someone...... You only need to guess the "lose-lose" situation of Zen law, and that's it?

The means of Tiandu City are difficult to guess.

Behind this matter, it is indispensable to deduce the magic help left by the Lotus Pavilion.

Ning Yi let out a sigh, "As a price, and sincerity, I need the strength of the Intelligence Division...... Not only in Dongtu, but also in the future back to the Great Sui. ”

Yun Xun was happy to see Ning Yi's "request" for himself, he stopped tapping on the table, and asked with a smile, "For example?"

"I want to check the case file...... There are many more places where the Intelligence Division will be used. Ning Yi stared at the eyes of the chief priest, "The tide is rising, and only by becoming a 'useful person' can you save your life." You must know that the way to survive is not just to become a useful person to the crown prince. ”

"You?" Yun Xun smiled, "Mr. Ning is not qualified enough now, right?"

Ning Yi took out a thing from the small cave and pushed it in front of Yun Xun.

An ancient mask.

"You know, the world is very big, and the Intelligence Department has other inaccessible places besides Dongtu and Xiling...... The same is true of imperial power. Ning Yi said in a calm tone, "No matter how far this fierce tide burns in the Great Sui, I can save your life." ”

Yun Xun was stunned at first, and when he realized the meaning of this mask, he fell into astonishment.

Ning Yi stood up and left from the mist.

Yun Xun looked at the distant back of the black-robed young man, laughed at himself, used honorifics, and muttered: "Mr. Ning, I have lost my eyes, you are indeed a great bodhisattva." ”
