Chapter 2: Sycophants
With the momentum of the fire, the sky was not yet light. There was already a secret agent of Li Youmin in the www.biquge.info of the pen "Fun" Pavilion, who linked the words of the fairy warlock during the day with the scene of the fire disaster that had just happened, and entered the palace overnight and quickly reported it to Li Youmin, who was still asleep.
This spy is not afraid of being punished for disturbing Li Youmin's rest. That's because Li Youmin has already had a will.
However, if he sends down to observe the people's situation and investigate the secret agents of the official office, if there is any urgent major report, he can ignore when and where, no matter what Li Youmin is doing, just report it.
At this time, Li Youmin frowned immediately after hearing about this.
When he said: "It's not dawn yet, the widow still has to rest, and tomorrow morning will have to go to the court early, you retreat first, and the widow already knows what you said."
The spy saw an annoyed expression written on Li Youmin's face, and knew that he couldn't be bored with himself. But as if he had something to say, he finally stopped talking and left.
At this moment, it seems that the night seems to be calm, but it is sad for Li Youmin, the monarch of the Fire Country.
Li Youmin had no intention of sleeping again, and in his mind, he was thinking about today's Taoist priest over and over again.
For nearly a thousand years, there was really no contact between the human world and the fairy world.
However, there are always some rumors that the fairy world will secretly patronize the human world once for decades, not for other gold and silver treasures, beautiful women. It's just to choose some children with intelligent qualifications and go to the fairy world with them to cultivate immortals.
Once the chosen child does not even have a chance to say goodbye to his family, he disappears.
But the next day, there will be more silver taels at home, no more, no less, but it is enough for a family of three to live for half a lifetime and live without worrying about food and clothing.
Although it is a rumor, there are still some gangsters who want to make a windfall and use such rumors to deceive and resell children.
As long as such rumors are released, the family can give up the idea of looking for their own children.
Parents thought that their children had been selected by the immortals to cultivate immortals. In fact, these children have already become lambs on the lips of these criminals.
This is more than just groundless. Because just last year, the Fire Nation also cracked one such case, abducting and seducing child thieves, digging up children's organs to make medicinal herbs, and so on.
As the king of a country, Li Youmin already hated this group of wolf-hearted guys to death, and he had already ordered that after such a villain was caught, he would directly exterminate the nine clans.
However, in the face of the temptation of profits, such behavior is still not stopped.
That's why Li Youmin was so upset about yesterday's warlock that he didn't kill him directly.
Because Li Youmin has recently seen that the overall form of the Fire Nation is slowly improving, and in his heart, the Fire Nation is reforming in the direction of the Great Harmony of the World, so he hopes to give everyone a chance to make his people become kind and lovely.
However, with the report of his cronies tonight, the fulfillment of the warlock's prophecy, he had to believe it again.
After thinking about it, Li Youmin felt that this warlock was mysterious and ruthless, and he would definitely not be just like these wolf-hearted and dog-hearted gangsters in the Fire Country, maybe he really came from the fairy world? Or do you want to warn Li Youmin about something?
Thinking of this, Li Youmin nodded calmly, no matter what, it's better to meet this warlock tomorrow, so as not to offend the immortals and bring unnecessary trouble to the Fire Country.
Immediately, Li Youmin turned around and returned to the dormitory and fell asleep.
On the second day, I got up early in the morning. Li Youmin announced that he would hide and enter the palace, and then issued a season, no matter what, he had to find a way to find the warlock from yesterday.
When Zong Rui, the head of the hidden guard, heard this, the opportunity to curry favor in front of the saint had come.
Then he said: "Don't worry, the saint, I'll do it, and in less than an hour, I will definitely catch that nonsense demon and bring it to the saint to ask for guilt."
When Li Youmin heard what the hidden guard chief said, he became angry.
A little unhappy said: "What do you mean to arrest, you have to invite him, remember, don't neglect this immortal."
When Zong Rui heard Li Youmin's words, he understood a little in his heart. It turned out that the king didn't want to arrest him and ask him for guilt, but wanted to discuss with a warlock.
Zong Rui couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
No wonder I've been in this position for so long, but I'm still the same. is so close to the saint, but I can't always see the saint's mind clearly, so I have such a mediocre career. It seems that his current bear appearance is still justified. Next time, you can learn to be smarter, not to seek reactive power, but to seek no fault.
This saint may be in a good mood one day and give a sweet date. I was in a bad mood and scolded again. It's too sad to have such days. It's better to stop thinking about that.
Immediately, Zong Rui retreated with the hidden guards.
Master Zong Rui, the head of the hidden guard, quickly found the officers and soldiers who guarded the city yesterday, and asked what the immortal warlock looked like yesterday, and whether he left any information or tokens when he left.
The officers and soldiers guarding the city knew that this was a hidden guard dedicated to the king's affairs, and they did not dare to prevaricate, so they immediately talked about the words of yesterday's warlock.
If it works, go to the Canal Inn not far from here to find me.
When Zong Rui heard it, hurry up. So, he immediately instructed his retainers to quickly bring some money and clothing, and went to the canal inn mentioned by the immortal warlock yesterday to invite the immortal to meet him.
In fact, the warlock Shi Yuepeng had long known that the Fire Country would definitely send someone to find him, but he didn't expect it to come so quickly.
No, the warlock Shi Yuepeng had just gotten up in the morning, and he was washing his face by the inn window when he saw a group of people on the street.
The man at the head was gorgeously dressed, but when he saw the expression on his face, he seemed to be low-voiced in temperament, and he was like a dog. As soon as you guess, you will know which dignitary's servant must be, after all, the prime minister's door is a seven-rank official.
This person was followed by a few people who also looked like followers. In his hand, he was still holding a silk package similar to a brocade and satin and bulging bags, and at a glance, he knew that it must be filled with some kind of money and clothes.
Shi Yuepeng smiled loudly and said to himself, "It's really early."
The cronies and the group immediately went to the inn shopkeeper to inquire about the room of the warlock Shi Yuepeng, who was newly checked in yesterday.
He didn't dare to slack off, so he said to the innkeeper, "We will pay for all the expenses of this warlock."
The innkeeper was even more puzzled, but when he saw the attire and aura of the visitor, he also looked like a dignitary, and he didn't dare to ask more. At that moment, he took his cronies and others to the door of the warlock Shi Yuepeng.
The cronies turned to the entourage behind them and said, "You guys go down first, I'll give you three high-fives in a while, and you come in with the gifts."
After the order, the cronies knocked on the door lightly, and said in a low voice: "May I ask if it is Shi Daochang's guest room, the villain is under the order of my family master, please tell Shi Daochang."
I saw Shi Yuepeng cross-legged and sat on the bed without saying a word.
But he thought in his heart, yesterday your group of people were still scolding stinky Taoist priests, and today you are shouting long, and it has changed so fast! It seems that when will people have to speak with their own strength. Our immortal realm is like this, why not the secular land of your human realm?
I saw Shi Yuepeng blow lightly, and the door opened automatically.
The cronies who were still bowing their heads and knocking on the door just now were also surprised, but they didn't expect this stinky Taoist priest to really have two hits. I can't slack off, or go back, this stinky Taoist priest and the master casually say something uncomfortable, I don't do it well and I have to be scolded again, oops, it's all uncle, no way.
The cronies quickly put away their surprised expressions, and then walked into the house respectfully. Closing the door, he said with a smile on his face: "Shi Daochang, I am really embarrassed yesterday, I offended you a lot, and the villain also has eyes and does not know Mount Tai, no, the officers and soldiers who offended you yesterday, the villain has sent someone to arrest and send them to prison." Dao Chief, if you are still angry, the villain will order someone to take their heads to see them. ”
After saying this, the cronie's body moved, as if he was about to act. But his eyes were staring at Shi Yuepeng in front of him, seeing what he did.
Warlock Shi Yuepeng was also really calm, his eyes were always closed, but he didn't look at him.
After a cup of tea, the warlock Shi Yuepeng spoke: "We have entered the Tao and cultivated immortals, and people have compassion as their hearts, so it's just that."
As soon as the cronies heard this, they immediately followed Shi Yuepeng's words and said: "Yes, yes, the Taoist is not only strong in mana, but also has a good heart, and the villain has really seen a living Bodhisattva." After that, he will fall to the ground and bow down.
Shi Yuepeng also asked knowingly, waved his palm, and then said: "That's it, if you have something to do with me, tell me."
The cronies hurriedly retracted the body that was about to kneel, and said with a smile on their faces: "Our Holy Lord Li Youmin is the holy lord of the Fire Country that has been rare for thousands of years, and His Majesty has also taken a fancy to the Dao Chief's high mana and compassion, and wants to hire the Dao Master to come to our Fire Country as a national teacher, participate in national politics together, and help the Fire Country become strong."
This cronie is also to please the warlock Shi Yuepeng, and he has said all kinds of good things, and what he said is a bit excessive.
Li Youmin just wanted to invite Shi Yuepeng to meet him, and he didn't say anything about it, you have to do something to be a national teacher and discuss politics, what if Li Youmin doesn't give him these?
But the cronies were also out of the way, and in order to be able to invite the warlock Shi Yuepeng to come, they didn't care about anything.
I saw Shi Yuepeng immediately go from meditating to standing, and he stood in front of his cronies so lightly.
All the actions were done in one go, which couldn't help but surprise the cronies' hearts again.
Shi Yuepeng said: "The powerful national teacher or something will be exempted, but Poor Dao really has a few words of confidant that he wants to say to your family, so you will lead the way?"
When the cronies heard this, it was as if this stinky Taoist priest had really been deceived by the lies of glory and wealth in his mouth. At the moment, I thought in my heart, "Then you can come, stinky Taoist, when the time comes, I don't care if you are fierce or lucky." ”
Immediately, the cronie quickly clapped his hands three times, and then said: "Dao Chief, wait a minute, this is the master of the villain, a little bit of the heart of the hidden guard chief Zong Ruizong, and I hope that the Dao chief will smile and accept it, in the future, the Dao chief will have a place where the villain will be useful, and the villain will go to the soup and go to the fire."
Warlock Shi Yuepeng glanced at it with his eyes and was silent.
I think that if this Taoist priest doesn't speak, it will be regarded as acquiescence, so hurry up.
Hurriedly ordered his subordinates to move everything into the Taoist chief's room, and said with a smile: "That Taoist chief, let's set off."
I saw that Shi Daochang's face did not change, and with a wave of his robe, he didn't bother to look at the cronie again, so he went out without looking back.
