After dark.

Zhang Jiuling's Mansion, study.

Zhang Jiuling was listening to Zhang Yu's report on the festival, and his son Zhang Zheng stood by and listened.

“…… When the Nine Heavens Xuannu went down to earth, the little Taoist priest Yang Yun was walking with Princess Xianyi, not like the instigator behind the scenes, today's family of Li Xilang, the waiter of the Yellow Gate, took the initiative to find Yang Yun to fight, but he was burned in the back and made a fool of himself in public......"

Although Zhang Yu did not reveal her true identity in front of others, the situation in the Great Void View was clear, not only what she saw with her own eyes, but also the results obtained by the people of the Zhang family who inquired about the news at the scene.

Zhang Jiuling's face was dark, and Yang Yuhuan's entry into the palace made him very uneasy, but at the moment, things did not form a joint reaction, and the court situation was still calm.

After Zhang Yu finished speaking, Zhang Zheng concluded: "In this way, the authenticity of this Nine Heavens Xuannu is debatable, but it must have nothing to do with that little Taoist Yang Yun. It's just that I don't know why Your Majesty is so eager to welcome the immortal incarnation to the palace that has not been verified to be true? ”

Zhang Jiuling coughed lightly, his breath was very uneven, and said, "What else can it be?" Just because Li Genu slandered in front of His Majesty, he had to take a folk girl to the palace, so as to show that my Tang Dynasty is the protection of the gods of the heavenly court and deter the foreign clans of Fanbang. ”

Zhang Zheng said: "Now it is rumored outside, saying that Tubo, Turkic and Hui and even the countries of the Western Regions have sent envoys to my Tang Dynasty, and there are people with advanced Taoism in the two envoy teams of Tubo and Turkic, so it is reasonable for His Majesty to welcome the Nine Heavens Xuannu into the palace." ”

Zhang Jiuling said disdainfully: "When does my Datang need to use strange things to show the power of the Heavenly Kingdom?" Could it be that a few monks from foreign clans in Fanbang can shake my Tang Kingdom? ”

Zhang Zheng realized that his words did not fit his father's opinion, so he stopped in moderation.

Zhang Yu next to him suddenly said: "Your Majesty welcomed the Nine Heavens Xuannu into the palace, just to deter foreign countries?" Isn't there any other intention? ”

Zhang Zheng wanted to remind his daughter not to talk nonsense, but he couldn't help it, and when he went to see Zhang Jiuling again, Zhang Jiuling looked thoughtful.

After being silent for a long time, Zhang Jiuling sighed lightly: "Your Majesty wants to ask for the art of immortality. ”

This can be regarded as an explanation of the doubts in Zhang Zheng and Zhang Yu's hearts.

Outsiders will be skeptical about the authenticity of the Nine Heavens Xuannu, but the emperor is convinced of the things that the immortals have descended to, because the emperor has a greater obsession with the immortals, the Tao, and the elixir than ordinary people.

The emperor is rich in the world, and now that the country is stable and the four seas are peaceful, the emperor's greatest concern is not that someone rebels, but that he is sick or aging, and he is dying step by step.

Zhang Zheng asked, "Then father, why didn't Your Majesty welcome Zhang Guo into the palace?" Zhang Guo has a good reputation among the people, and there are legends that he has become an immortal, and there is a method of refining the elixir. ”

"Don't you want to be Your Majesty? But Zhang Guo did not obey the edict, at that time, Tengyun drove the fog away, His Majesty went to the Great Void View to wait for Zhang Guo to change his mind, who knew that he actually ushered in a person who called himself the Nine Heavens Xuannu, and now His Majesty secretly sent someone to look for Zhang Guo, but there was no trace. ”

As the prime minister, Zhang Jiuling is very familiar with some of the emperor's actions.

Zhang Zheng asked again: "Then will we also send someone to help find it?" If you find someone, can't you make a contribution in front of Your Majesty? ”

Zhang Jiuling glanced at his son and said impatiently: "The old man doesn't need to invite favor in this way, that's what Li Gonu did." ”

Zhang Zheng was taught a lesson by his father again, looked at Zhang Yu next to him, and wanted to know what good advice his daughter who had always been smart.

"Whether the Nine Heavens Xuannu is true or false cannot be determined for the time being, but there is an unfathomable Taoist Yang Yun behind her, should she start from her body to determine what conspiracy is behind this Nine Heavens Xuannu?" Zhang Yu asked for instructions.

Zhang Jiuling thought for a while and said, "Nine times out of ten, this matter is closely related to Brother Li, otherwise he would not be so enthusiastic, and Concubine Wu, isn't Yang Yun her guest?" They want to use Taoist immortals to bewitch Your Majesty, and now that Your Majesty has indulged in it, how can they make it wake up......"

Zhang Yu's tone was firm: "The only way to expose the conspiracy is to expose it." ”

"Okay."

Zhang Jiuling fully affirmed his granddaughter's opinions, and said, "I will leave the falsification behind it to you, Yu'er has always been at ease in doing things, and I need to use human hands to just call it, I don't believe that Datang will be messed up by a few Taoist priests!" ”

……

……

Even if Yang Yun didn't know that he was being targeted by Zhang Jiuling, he also understood that now he was the target of the public, and there were many people who wanted to know whether Yang Yuhuan's identity as a Nine Heavens Xuannu was true or false.

Others thought he was Concubine Wu Hui's person, but in fact, this matter had nothing to do with Concubine Wu Hui's half a dime, after the incident, Li Mao and Princess Xianyi temporarily distanced themselves from him, because this incident seriously damaged Concubine Wu Hui's interests, making Yang Yun from an unknown pawn suddenly become a thorn in the side of the court dignitaries.

In the middle of the night on the third day, Yang Yun managed to pick up Yang Yuhuan, who had been in the palace for two days.

Yang Yuhuan was like getting out of the cage, he was very excited when he saw Yang Yun, Yang Yun comforted him a little, and then took the carriage to the Zuixian Building, Yang Yun had asked the kitchen to prepare exquisite dishes earlier, Yang Yuhuan devoured the food when he saw it, and he didn't care about the manners at all.

"Seeing my sister like this, I thought I hadn't eaten for a few days."

Yang Yun looked at Yang Yuhuan with a smile.

Yang Yuhuan coughed twice, drank a sip of water, and said aggrievedly: "What kind of place is that in the palace, I thought that there were some vegetarian food, and I didn't care about being full at all, and I had nowhere to find something to eat." ”

Yang Yun thought to himself: "The people in the palace treat you as a fairy who doesn't eat fireworks in the world, and the one you give you is called food?" It should be called tribute! Just let you see, who knows if you actually eat it? ”

"The saint doesn't come either, I'm alone in a huge palace, and I don't even have a maid, so it's usually difficult to find someone to talk to." The more Yang Yuhuan spoke, the more aggrieved he became, and finally he was about to cry, "If I had known that this was the case, I wouldn't have entered the palace." ”

Yang Yun comforted: "Actually, my sister can live alone in the palace, isn't it good?" ”

Yang Yuhuan said angrily: "What's good, I don't have anything to eat, I don't want to drink, I want to go out and have guards to guard, really when I am a prisoner?" If it doesn't work, you make up an excuse and say that I have ascended so that I can leave the palace......"

"Is my sister serious?"

Yang Yun frowned and asked.

Yang Yuhuan held chopsticks, silent, no longer eating vegetables, as if thinking.

Yang Yun sighed: "Before entering the palace, I asked my sister, if my sister really wants to come out, then how will she deal with herself in Luoyang in the future?" Just disappear and live the life of an idle cloud and wild crane? ”

"This ...... No......" Yang Yuhuan shook his head.

Yang Yun sighed secretly, do you still think that coming out of the palace can "renew the frontier" with Li Mao?

In the future, you can't have a second identity, unless you hide from the people in the court for the rest of your life, live in seclusion in the barren mountains and dense forests, or change your identity and hide in the city, there will never be an ordinary life again.

"Sister, let's bear with it, if you can't bear it, you can make some achievements. Or the sister can also use some methods to give hints to the palace people, tell them what you need, and trust that they will prepare. Yang Yundao.

Yang Yuhuan asked eagerly, "What kind of prompt?" ”

Yang Yun said: "My sister is the saint who welcomed her into the palace, and her status is outstanding, even if she just writes a few words on paper, they have to do it honestly." ”

"Is that okay?"

Yang Yuhuan will be skeptical.

Yang Yun spread his hands: "If my sister doesn't try, then I will only wait for a few days for me to pick you up, but in the long run, people will find out, and it is always good to try." ”

Yang Yuhuan picked up the rice bowl again, and said while eating: "Then I'll try it!" ”

……

……

Yang Yuhuan didn't stay with Yang Yun for too long, for fear of being discovered by the people in the palace, Yang Yun asked Yarou to help and send Yang Yuhuan back to the palace.

At the same time, he reminded Yang Yuhuan that the distance between the Feixiang Hall and the palace wall was too far, and Yarou spent a lot of mana every time she picked up people, so she couldn't take Yang Yuhuan out from time to time, so she had to make her own plans in the palace.

Yang Yuhuan was a little unhappy, but she also understood that she had a chance to come out after entering the palace wall, which was not easy in itself, she didn't complain, but she was secretly sad when she went back.

It is one thing to enter the palace to pursue fame and fortune, but she has lost her personal freedom, which requires her to make a choice.

Seeing off Yang Yuhuan by the palace wall, Yang Yun drove Yarou back, Yarou asked curiously: "Master, in fact, now I can pick up my aunt every day, and I can even open the space door directly at home, why does Master tell my aunt that it will take a few more days every time?" And insist on picking up outside the palace walls? ”

Yang Yun said with a smile: "When you enter the palace, you should adapt to the life in the palace, if you always want to come out to play, then why do you want to enter the palace?" This kind of thing should be avoided carefully, and I can't afford to be known about it. ”

"Oh."

Yarou seems to understand whether she understands or not.

The two returned to Shanglinfang's residence, and the little Lori at home basically slept, and after Yang Yun came back, the lights in Wu Yuan's house turned on, and then Wu Yuan came out with a lantern.

"The master came back so late? But what's going on over there at the shop? ”

Wu Yuan walked up to Yang Yun and asked after saluting.

Yang Yun didn't have much defense against Wu Yuan before, but after seeing Changchun Zhenren and learning about the situation of that Taoist organization, he was a little wary, if he said that Yang Yuhuan was free to enter and leave the palace, who would dare to guarantee that the news of turning back would not reach the ears of Luo Gongyuan's people?

Yang Yun said with a smile: "The shop has not officially opened, so why be busy?" I'm just trying to plan how I'm going to behave in the upcoming Festival. ”

Wu Yuandao: "The disciple heard that the Turkic envoys have already arrived in Luoyang first, and there may be Turkic monks at the Dharma meeting in the next few days, so the master is worried about this matter, right?" ”

It's really brain-filling.

What kind of Turkic monk, Yang Yun has never gone to his heart, even if the Turkic monk is really powerful, if he wants to fight, it should be Luo Gongyuan to take the lead, so it is not his turn to worry.

"Sort of."

Yang Yun smiled.

Wu Yuan said with relief: "That master should indeed bother more, it is related to the prestige of Taoism in the Central Plains, if it can make the Turkic monks submit, or it will be of great benefit to Anbang and Dingbian, the master's merit is in the community." ”

Yang Yun didn't want to take this high hat, he first asked Yarou to go back to the house to clean up and prepare to rest, and then looked at Wu Yuan and asked, "Why don't you sleep yet?" Is there something going on? ”

Wu Yuan was silent for a moment, as if there was something difficult to say.

"If there is something, what do we masters and apprentices need to worry about?" Yang Yundao.

Wu Yuan said: "It is an old friend of the disciple, who came all the way from Shu to the Eastern Capital, and said that it was ...... I want to see the master. ”
