The showdown, a very decisive showdown. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Ning Caichen didn't expect the showdown to come so quickly, he had planned to play a dumb riddle with the emperor for half an hour, and then try to tell the emperor the truth and his own hardships and plans after testing all the things that should be tested. At this moment, the emperor directly pointed out his identity in general terms, which made Ning Caichen almost fall to the ground as soon as his feet were weak.

But he resisted, and there was a reason why he couldn't go soft.

"Caomin's real name is Ning Caichen. ”

Without telling forgiveness or trembling, Ning Caichen looked directly at the emperor in front of him, word by word, sonorous and powerful.

He doesn't seem to have taken the consequences of the 'crime of deception' into account at all.

"Ning Caichen, good name. ”

There was no trace of surprise on the emperor's face, there was only an expression on his face called 'regret'.

"It's a pity. ”

Although these three words never came out of his mouth, Ning Caichen still read the meaning.

"Your Majesty, Pudu Cihang ......"

The hole cards have been turned over, and Ning Caichen wants to tell all the truth he knows in the shortest possible time, but he can't say it.

Because he saw a figure.

A figure he least wanted to see at the moment.

Pu!

Dressed in a moon-white monk's robe, with a compassionate face, like a Bodhi walking down from the lotus, Pudu Cihang appeared on the path of the imperial garden at some point, and he was slowly walking towards the emperor and Ning Caichen.

"National teacher. ”

The emperor folded his hands and saluted Pudu Ci Sailing, his face was completely unimaginably deferential to Ning Caichen.

Pudu Cihang just nodded at the emperor and did not return the salute, but the emperor himself did not care about this.

"Lord Zhuge , you don't stay in your own mansion, but what are you going to do in the backyard of this deep palace?"

The emperor finished saluting Pudu Ci, turned his head to Ning Caichen and threw out an inexplicable sentence.

"Ah......h

At the moment when he saw Pudu Cihang, Ning Caichen's whole heart was cold, and when he thought that this big devil was nearby, and when he thought of the limbs-like armor of those royal forest army insects in the palace, Ning Caichen's legs were no longer weak, but completely stiffened.

Yes, I have actually been under the surveillance of the other party's eyeliner all the time, and I am afraid that all my small movements have not been able to escape the attention of the other party.

He shouldn't have come.

If he didn't come, he might be able to save Fu Qingfeng and Fu Yuechi, but it was too late to say anything now.

Ning Caichen looked at Pudu Cihang and the emperor in front of him, and didn't say anything for a long time.

"Lord Zhuge what's wrong, just say something?"

The emperor's face was as authentic as usual.

"Mr. Zhuge , if you have something to say, you don't need to worry about the poor monks. ”

Pudu Cihang looked at Ning Caichen, his eyes were full of kindness.

"Tell the emperor that Weichen wants to meet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince as soon as possible, so as to fulfill the responsibility of the prince. ”

Ning Caichen's mind was like an electric bolt under the double gaze of Pudu Cihang and the emperor, and soon, a statement was made up by him.

He hadn't had time to say everything about Pudu Cihang before, and there was still room for him to come back at the moment, and he couldn't give up this glimmer of life no matter what.

"Is that true? Did you hear Mr. Zhuge mention the name of the poor monk?"

Pudu Cihang's face still had a compassionate look, but in Ning Caichen's opinion, this look was not much different from the angry Yama.

"That's right! Xia Guan has just taken office, and he is about to pay homage to the national teacher, but he doesn't know what the national teacher likes. When I saw His Majesty, I wanted to ask one or two, so as not to miss the etiquette when I got it. ”

It's a far-fetched reason, but this is already the best reason that Ning Caichen can make up, he is a nerd student, and it is already an accident to have such a strain.

"Oh?

Pudu Cihang asked.

"The national teacher is a monk, the four are empty, but I just like to eat tofu slightly, this matter is well known, Mr. Zhuge , why did you deliberately enter the palace to ask the widow?"

The emperor mended the knife at the right time.

"Your Majesty, as people say: 'There are many rumors about things in the world', well-known things often have inside information, and it is precisely because of this concern that Weichen entered the palace, which is indeed reckless, and I hope that Your Majesty and the national teacher will not care. ”

Ning Caichen felt that the clothes on his back were already wet, and he didn't know if beads of sweat had leaked from his forehead, but he prayed in his heart that it was better not.

"Mr. Zhuge is really cautious, and I hope that Mr. Zhuge will be as cautious as he is today. ”

Pudu Ci Channel, Ning Caichen only felt that his words were so harsh, but at this moment, Ning Caichen was relieved when he heard this harsh sentence.

Pudu Cihang also said 'day after day', which means that he still has 'day after day'.

His life was saved.

"I'm afraid that the national teacher has something important to do here, and the official will retire. ”

Ning Caichen bowed and lowered his head, not even daring to look at Pudu Cihang.

"Go ahead. ”

The emperor waved his hand, and it was right.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. ”

Ning Caichen maintained a bowed posture and withdrew from the Imperial Garden step by step, and it was not until he confirmed that he had completely withdrawn from Pudu Cihang's field of vision that he couldn't help but gasp loudly.

The clothes in his robes were all wet.

A feeling of the aftermath surrounded him, but he did not have the joy of the aftermath at all.

"Is this country already mothed?"

Ning Caichen's eyes were full of despair.

He rested where he was, then walked down the path to the exit of the Imperial Garden, where a group of Imperial Guards was waiting for him.

Ning Caichen understood that this team of Imperial Forest Army was the one who brought him in.

"There is labor. ”

He bowed his hand to the sergeant of the Imperial Guard, and compared with the previous time when he entered the palace, his gesture of arching his hand seemed to lose the meaning of neither humility nor arrogance, and turned into a kind of resignation after resignation.

……

Ning Caichen's steps were vain, his eyes were also sloppy, he didn't know how he got out of the palace, how he got on the sedan chair, and how he returned to the Taifu Mansion.

It was as if the whole set of things about entering the palace to meet the emperor was just a dream of his Nanke, and when he came back to his senses, he had already sat back on the seat in the front hall of the Taifu Mansion.

Only his wet, unworn undershirt reminded him that he had indeed been through it.

Ning Caichen didn't know what else he could do now, and he couldn't see any light under the shadow cast by Pudu Cihang.

Pudu Cihang has already done it with one hand, he is a scholar, and he has no power to bind the chicken, even if he is in the position of Taifu, but he knows best how this position came about.

He can't even protect himself, what else can he fight with others?

Worry about!

Worry about!

Worry about!

Ning Caichen stared blankly at a corner of the hall, no one knew what he was looking at.

"Master Taifu! Lord Zuo Qianhu sent someone a burden! Say that you left him at the beginning!"

Suddenly, a guard ran in, he saluted Ning Caichen, and then presented a baggage.

"Ahh ”

Ning Caichen returned to his soul, and he looked at the burden.

The burden was the one he had carried with him before, and his baggage was indeed searched after he was caught before, and he forgot to claim it back after he got out of trouble.

"The subordinates retired. ”

Seeing that Ning Caichen had taken over the burden, the guard retreated without asking Ning Caichen if he agreed.

Ning Caichen opened the burden at the moment, and the picture scroll and books were all there, but he keenly noticed that the picture scroll seemed to be a little wrong.

He remembered that the scroll he had used to frame the painting was very worn, but now the scroll he had pulled out of his baggage was brand new.

Ning Caichen couldn't have misremembered this incident, so he hurriedly opened the scroll at the moment.

"It's ......!"

The picture scroll is still a picture scroll, but there are no talented and beautiful women on the picture scroll, and there is no poem of 'Ten Miles of Ping Lake'.

The scroll depicts a prison held by a pure black lotus platform, in which a golden dragon is trapped, and the golden light of the Tao overflows from the cracks of the cage and flows into the lotus platform at the bottom of the prison.

On the side of the scroll is inscribed two words: "luck".
