Wang Ji was eager to get Yang Yun's understanding and promote cooperation between the two sides.

Since Wang Yuhui was defeated in Yecheng and reprimanded back to Chang'an, he had a premonition that a catastrophe was coming, and the imperial court was likely to hold him responsible.

On the surface, because of the victory in the previous Battle of Jinchuan, the imperial court could not hold Wang Yu accountable, but the trick of Mingsheng secretly descending or simply giving an idle job to be idle at home is indispensable.

Wang Yu paid the price for his arrogance.

With Yang Yun's sudden rise in Luoyang, he is likely to become a celebrity in front of the emperor, Wang Yu's eyes lit up, and he wanted to use the good relationship between Wang Ji and Yang Yun to let him regain Li Longji's trust and lead the party again.

"Is it just an apology? How can I help your royal family? Yang Yun asked aggressively.

At this time, he had domineering capital, and now the situation is very different from the beginning.

Wang Ji said: "My father has gone to Chang'an, and I can't make amends to you in person, and when my father settles down in Chang'an, he will send someone to give gifts, or my father will come to visit." ”

Yang Yun's attitude was indifferent: "General Wang, why bother? ”

"The misjudgment of the master's ability is the biggest regret of the father, the father has remorse, the master has just entered the court, and he will face a lot of resistance in the future, why not accept the kindness of the father, cooperate with each other, and avoid some detours?" Wang Ji said sincerely.

Yang Yun nodded and did not answer, but in Wang Ji's opinion, his goal had been achieved.

Wang Ji asked expectantly, "Did the master recognize me as a junior brother?" ”

Yang Yun nodded again.

Wang Ji was so surprised that he almost jumped up on the spot.

It happened that Liu Hengzheng arrived at the door, and when he saw Wang Ji dancing with his hands, he was inexplicably excited, and couldn't help but smile and asked: "You get along so well, it seems that I, the son of the old man, is really the same disciple of the little heavenly master?" ”

Wang Ji looked at Yang Yun expectantly, waiting for Yang Yun to affirm his identity in front of others.

Yang Yun nodded reluctantly: "Yes." ”

"It's really gratifying to congratulate you brothers and sisters on reuniting after a long absence...... This official has just received a news here that the Holy Lord is going to summon the Little Heavenly Master into the palace to have a Dao Fa contest with Luo Tianshi, and the Holy Lord will personally attend...... Little Heavenly Master, your chance to make a name for yourself has come. ”

Liu Hengzheng's face was full of anticipation and excitement.

If Yang Yun beats Luo Gongyuan in the competition, then his name as a celestial master will be confirmed, and the emperor will rarely be reused in the future, and he, as a recommender, will follow.

But for Yang Yun, this is not good news.

The emperor became interested in his spells, and was ready to see his true skills, summon him into the palace to perform in person, or compete with a well-known figure like Luo Gongyuan.

It seems that this is an excellent opportunity to take the position, but in fact, there is a great risk in the middle, not to mention that someone may secretly stumble on him, even if he defeats Luo Gongyuan in the competition, can he replace the other party and always accompany Li Longji?

He is a novice player in Vanity Fair, and he is facing a scheming god-level person, and if he is not careful, he will be doomed.

Wang Ji said in surprise: "The Holy Lord wants to summon senior brother into the palace? That's a good thing! ”

Liu Hengzheng suddenly thought of something, and said: "Since I, the son of the old man, is a fellow disciple of the Little Heavenly Master, doesn't that mean that the Master of the Little Heavenly Master has arrived in the Eastern Capital?" This...... This is a major event for the Daomen and even the imperial court. ”

The apprentices are so powerful, wouldn't the master be even more amazing?

One and two of them have this mentality, thinking that since Yang Yun can be appreciated by the emperor, wouldn't it be more credit to recommend Yang Yun's master?

Now the king doesn't dare to express his position casually.

Now Yang Yun just admitted that he was a junior brother, but he didn't say that Songmei was a master, and Wang Ji didn't dare to ask Yang Yun to recognize the two imposters at once.

Yang Yun smiled and said, "I haven't seen the family teacher yet, but I heard my junior brother say that I think the family teacher has indeed arrived in the Eastern Capital and has settled in the city." ”

"Quick, quick, let this official personally visit the Martial Venerable Heavenly Master."

Liu Hengzheng's eyes widened, and he said excitedly and inexplicably.

Yang Yun is a little heavenly master appointed by the emperor, and there is no doubt that Wuzun Zhenren is a heavenly master.

Liu Hengzheng himself is a fanatical believer in Taoism, and when he sees that the legendary immortal is a dream thing, he doesn't want to delay for a moment.

"Senior brother, are we going to see the master?" Seeing that Yang Yun didn't say anything, Wang Ji asked tentatively, "The master's whereabouts are uncertain, and he may have left Luoyang." ”

With the meaning of the king's nationality, if you don't want to admit Songmei, just say that he has left, can you still chase Henan Yin out of the city?

Yang Yun said: "Liu Fuyin is so sincere, if he doesn't let him see the master, it will be too unkind...... Junior brother might as well lead the way. ”

Wang Ji smiled and nodded: "Senior brother has a life, how can senior brother not obey?" Liu Fuyin, please ......"

……

……

Yang Yun and Liu Hengzheng rode in the same carriage, and under the guidance of the horseback in front of the king, they went to the inn where Songmei stayed.

After Songmei entered the city, all the matters that should be settled were taken care of by the royal family.

Wang Ji represents Wang Yu, the former Jiannan Jiedu envoy, and now Songmei is down, and the only value in Wang Yu's opinion is that Yang Yun once recognized him as a master and belonged to a chess piece that was not completely abandoned.

With the weakness of the Wang family, Wang Ji took Songmei all the way to Luoyang, the conditions were not as superior as they were at the beginning, and the place to settle in Luoyang was just an ordinary inn next to the south of the city, and the surrounding products were complicated.

Except for Songmei's family of three who lived in the inn, Songmei's other disciples did not enter the city, mainly because the inn in the city was too expensive to live in, so they could only temporarily stay in the Taoist temple outside the city.

"Is the Martial Venerable Heavenly Master here?"

Liu Hengzheng got out of the car outside the inn, and without waiting for Yang Yun and Wang Ji to lead the way, he strode towards the main hall, and shouted upstairs when he entered.

When the innkeeper saw an official coming, he was wondering what was going on, and when he heard this greeting, he was a little confused.

Upstairs, there was a little head looking down, but it was Matsumei's son Bi Maralin.

"This ...... I don't know if you're ......? ”

The shopkeeper hurriedly invited the shopkeeper in the back hall to come out, and the shopkeeper was startled when he saw the color of the visitor's official robe, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

Peng Quan, who joined the army behind Liu Hengzheng, said: "This is our Liu Fuyin of Henan Mansion, the parent official of Luoyang, the eastern capital. ”

"Fu Yin? Yes? ”

The innkeeper was frightened.

Usually there are people from the owner of the workshop or the county government, and they are all big battles, but now Fu Yin suddenly came, and he thought that he had committed something big, and he wanted to kneel as soon as his legs were bent.

Liu Hengzheng held the shopkeeper and said with a smile: "This official is here to visit Wuzun Heavenly Master, not in an official capacity, this old man doesn't need to be too formal, how about going upstairs and inviting Heavenly Master down?" ”

"Heavenly Master?"

The innkeeper looked confused.

In your own inn, when did the Heavenly Master come?

While she was talking, Songmei walked out of the room upstairs by the staircase and stood in the hallway looking down.

At this time, Songmei looked a little down, the robe on her body was very old, and there were a few patches around her body, she should have worn the old robe before, because of the dust, and the accommodation conditions were not good after arriving in Luoyang, the clothes were not washed, and she was unkempt, and she couldn't contact the famous Heavenly Master at all.

Liu Hengzheng didn't care about those false names, he took a few steps upstairs, arrived in front of Songmei, leaned over and saluted, and then complimented him for a while.

Songmei was apprehensive, but when she saw Yang Yun coming back with Wang Ji, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, knowing that she had finally survived the hardships and was about to live a good life.

……

……

In front of the table in the lobby on the first floor, Liu Hengzheng and Songmei knelt opposite each other and sat down.

"Master, I heard Liu Fuyin say that the Holy Lord is going to summon his senior brother to the palace to have a competition with Heavenly Master Luo Gongyuan, which is the honor of our master."

Seeing that Songmei was not in the state, Wang Ji, as a witness to the scam, began to fulfill his duties.

"Really?"

Songmei's expression was evasive.

No matter how confident he was, he didn't dare to take the initiative to take the responsibility of going to the palace to compete.

You must know that Luo Gongyuan is a world-renowned "immortal", and going to Luo Gongyuan's front to get an axe is almost no different from sending him to death.

Liu Hengzheng smiled and said: "This is Gao Gong sent someone to inform, Gao Gong is the most trusted person around the Holy Master, I didn't know that the Heavenly Master came earlier, if you know, mention it to the Holy Master, the Holy Lord may invite the Heavenly Master to go." ”

"It doesn't have to be. There are apprentices, and he ...... He's up to the task. ”

Songmei looked at Yang Yun with a slightly embarrassed expression.

This embarrassment comes from the disclosure of his identity, which was originally just a matter between him and Yang Yun, but now that Wang Ji has insight into everything, it is equivalent to an official person who knows his details, and his identity may be exposed at any time.

The calmness and confidence of the past are gone.

Liu Hengzheng hurriedly said: "Since it is fighting with Luo Tianshi, if you just let the little heavenly master go, it is definitely not a good strategy, and this official also knows that the little heavenly master is extraordinary, but Luo Tianshi is a famous Taoist in the world, and it is really impossible for you, an elder, not to go." ”

As a master, you don't come forward and let the apprentice top the cylinder?

Luo Gongyuan's seniority is much higher than yours, even if he loses to you, he will lose face, if your apprentice wins, how will Luo Gongyuan mix in the future?

Your apprentice is young and ignorant, how can an old Taoist priest like you, who has rich life experience, not understand?

Wang Ji interjected: "The master doesn't go, he has his own reasons, Liu Fuyin should not be reluctant." ”

Wang Ji is also afraid of accidents.

Now he knows that Songmei is just an embroidered pillow and a bag of grass, he doesn't dare to let Songmei take risks, that is pretending in front of the emperor, if he fails, it is a big crime to bully the king, it is a head-killing business, and he needs to do what he can.

Liu Hengzheng looked at Yang Yun curiously and said, "Little Heavenly Master, ...... you look?"

Yang Yun's expression was not shocked, and he smiled lightly: "Since the master has arrived in Luoyang, it is not appropriate for me to go to the competition, why don't you let Liu Fuyin tell Gao Gong, how about letting the family teacher go?" ”

"Good! That's what this official wants. ”

Liu Hengzheng agreed without thinking about it.

This frightened Songmei and Wang Ji, and even Ning Lan, who had just gone downstairs, was shocked when she heard this.

Ning Lan looked at Yang Yun and felt that Yang Yun was deliberately manipulating her husband.

Knowing that Songmei has no ability, and letting him fight in front of the emperor, isn't it equivalent to pushing Songmei into the fire pit?

Songmei shook her head and said, "It's still not suitable." ”

Ning Lan was a little anxious, stepped forward a few steps, and said to Liu Hengzheng: "Yes, this Shangguan, there are some things that cannot be forced, let alone ...... The little Heavenly Master is the one invited by the Holy One. ”

"Who is this......?"

Liu Hengzheng looked at Ning Lan, his eyes shone with a strange brilliance, and he probably felt that Ning Lan was full of the charm of a mature woman, beautiful and seductive, and couldn't help but ask curiously.

Wang Ji replied first: "This is Shi Niang." ”

"Could it be that you have already ...... Martial Venerable Heavenly Master Oops......"

Liu Hengzheng's whole person is unnatural.

Taoist priests have marriages, but in his impression, the marriages are basically gods, and there are few serious people.

Songmei raised her head, gently twisted her beard under her chin, shook her head and sighed: "Who can tell you what is going on in the red dust?" Poor Dao just wants to live a quiet life for a few years. ”

"Gao, Heavenly Master, you are really a high ......"

Liu Hengzheng didn't know how to evaluate it, so he could only compliment vaguely.

Yang Yun looked at Songmei: "Master, don't you want to go?" ”

The tone was almost threatening, as if he was saying to Songmei, if you don't go, I will directly expose your old bottom.

Songmei hurriedly said: "It's better to ask Gao Gong first, if he agrees, it doesn't hurt to go to the poor road once." ”
