Yuqing Mountain.

Yuqing only came back a few days ago, just received the news that King Ming returned to Beijing, and was still lamenting that Qiman really failed to leave King Ming, so he received news from the capital, King Ming was invited.

It was Yuqing's personal disciple Chen Shidao who came to report it, and at this moment, he only listened to him: "King Ming has just returned to the Ming Palace, and he sent his henchman Ah Jiu to find us, it should be for the Southern Army to detain Lu Xunyi and his party." ”

Yuqing nodded, and after groaning slightly, he frowned and said, "I don't know if King Ming summoned us to Beijing this time, is he deterring the Lin family from releasing people, or is he going to make a big move?" ”

Chen Shidao hesitated: "It shouldn't be, after all, Lu Xunyi and the others are still in the hands of the Southern Army, and King Ming always has to take care of their lives." ”

"It's not good to say, the Ming Wangfu may not take the initiative to talk to the Lin family about releasing people, I think that the Ming Wangfu is looking for us this time, so that we can come forward to fight with the Lin family, and it is more likely to force the Lin family to release people." Yuqing shook his head.

A ray of worry immediately appeared on Chen Shidao's face: "When we fought the Huangting Mansion before, we already had an extremely tense relationship with the Lin family. If we attack the Lin family again this time, I am afraid that we will really become enemies with the Southern Army. ”

"You haven't seen it yet, King Ming is intent on making us enemies with the warlords and cutting off our back road." Yuqing's tone was calm, but there was a hint of worry in his words.

Chen Shidao was speechless for a moment, and was silent for a while before saying: "Then it's better to find a reason to delay entering Beijing first, let's communicate with the Lin family privately and let them release them." ”

Yuqing's eyes turned to look at Chen Shidao: "It's useless, it's impossible for the Lin family to release people directly as soon as King Ming returns to Beijing, and he hasn't negotiated with King Ming's mansion, so won't the southern army be majestic and sweep the ground?" ”

Chen Shidao thought about it when he heard this, and he was right, as long as the Ming Wangfu refused to negotiate, then it would be useless for them to secretly try hard.

"Then it's better to communicate with those families, on the grounds that they are in retreat, send disciples to Beijing first, and see the attitude of King Ming, so that no matter what the situation, there can be a buffer." Chen Shidao thought about it and said again.

Yuqing's eyes lit up with thoughts, and he finally shook his head: "I still have to go in person." ”

"Master......" Chen Shidao still wants to persuade.

Yuqing raised his hand: "Your idea is very good, but can you guarantee that those families can be of the same heart with us?" Don't say goodbye, they don't agree, but we are bad people in front of King Ming. Even if they agreed, there was no guarantee that they would cheat us in private, and they agreed on the surface, but in fact they secretly entered Beijing. ”

Chen Shidao was slightly stunned: "This is not our family's business, it is really a complete face-to-face with the Lin family, it is not good for any of our families, Taiqingshan and Simen should have no reason not to agree, right?" ”

Yuqing shook his head, and there was a bit of gloom in his tone: "If it was the previous Daomen, of course you would be right to think so, but how can the current Daomen be comparable to the past?" ”

"What do you mean?" Chen Shidao thought about it, but still didn't understand what Yuqing meant, so he asked.

Yuqing's eyes turned to Chen Shidao and said, "Shidao, you should know that the national dynasty has not been able to subdue our hundred spirit mountains in a hundred years, but the reason why King Ming can be honored, right?" ”

"This ......" Chen Shidao hesitated slightly, this topic is too big to be explained clearly in one sentence or two, he thought for a while and said: "In general, it was the fall of Mei Zhenren and the departure of Shangqing Mountain that made the situation of our One Hundred and Eight Mountains change greatly, so that King Ming took advantage of the situation to enter." ”

"Not bad." Yuqing nodded, his eyes condensed, and he looked at the night sky outside the hall: "Is the situation changing, whether it is the external environment or the internal environment, but in the final analysis, it is still our internal change." Where has changed? The change in the hearts of the people, the departure of Shangqing Mountain, and the birth of King Ming made the four men who had been suppressed by us for hundreds of years no longer hold back and wanted to overturn our ambitions. ”

"Whether we vote for King Ming or not, the four gates will definitely vote, and many people will vote for our mountain gates. When the time comes, we don't respect the Ming King, how can the Ming King let us go? Once the two families start fighting, the entire Daomen will be greatly damaged, and at that time, no matter whether we win or lose, we will have no strength, and in this troubled era, we will all end miserably. ”

Speaking of this, Yuqing was silent for a long time, and it was obvious that he still felt uncomfortable thinking of this.

Seeing this, Chen Shidao said: "Shizun can let King Ming be in charge, and it is also a concession and sacrifice made for the overall situation of the entire Daomen, and the world will understand Shizun." ”

When Yuqing heard this, he couldn't help but smile, shook his head, and picked up the topic and said: "Our Ershan also voted for King Ming with the Four Gates, will the Four Gates' ambition to overthrow us subside?" No, they have long been fed up with being suppressed by us, and now is a great opportunity to reshuffle the cards, how can they be willing to continue to be suppressed by us? ”

Speaking of this, Chen Shidao completely understood Yuqing's worries, even if they knew that a complete fight with the Lin family would be detrimental to the overall situation of the Daomen, they would not take it into account, and they would still stand on the side of King Ming.

On the contrary, once Yuqing's side expressed their will to resist King Ming, not only would they not listen, but they would probably become more and more active in helping King Ming, so as to strengthen King Ming's determination to suppress Ershan and promote them.

Chen Shidao couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head: "The four gates are so disregarded about the overall situation, selfishness, they will definitely eat the bitter fruit, King Ming only needs to watch from the wall, a little trick of checks and balances, this door is afraid that sooner or later it will completely fall into the hands of King Ming." ”

Hearing this, Yuqing stood up, came to the outside of the hall with his hands in his hands, looked at the night sky, and said softly: "There is no need to be too pessimistic, in this troubled world, no one can guarantee their own ending." Just like King Ming almost fell to the pearl this time, so what will happen in the future, and wait and see the world. What we need now is not self-pity, on the contrary, we must cheer up, the birth of King Ming, although it is a catastrophe for us, but it may not be a chance. His Taoist inheritance is indeed good, if I can take this opportunity to get some progress from him, it is also extremely important for my Yuqing Mountain inheritance. ”

"Therefore, what we have to do now is to be vigilant at all times, and we must not let the four gates overtake Yuqing Mountain, and we must let Yuqing Mountain always be ahead of the Dao Gate. Only in this way can we always have the initiative, no matter how the situation changes. ”

"Yes, the disciple remembers the teachings of the master!" When Chen Shidao heard this, he immediately bowed.

"Back to the Ming Palace, I will leave for Beijing immediately!" Yuqing nodded, his figure gradually faded, and he disappeared in front of Chen Shidao silently.

Chen Shidao looked at the call of King Ming, and the master rushed away from the mountain in the starry night, and he was full of emotion in his heart, and secretly excited, as the master said, he could not be pessimistic.

…………

……

"I heard that His Royal Highness summoned several great masters of the Daomen to enter Beijing?" When Mo Bai entered the palace early in the morning, Zhang Bangli was already waiting at the gate of the palace, and at this moment accompanied Mo Bai to the middle palace, and asked on the way.

"Hmm!" Mo Bai glanced at him and said casually, "They already set off last night. ”

"Leaving last night?" Zhang Bangli was shocked when he heard this, although they had spies, but if Yuqing and others didn't take the initiative to reveal it, he and they wouldn't be able to find out their whereabouts immediately.

Listening to Mo Bai at this moment, they set off on a starry night, and Zhang Bangli had to reassess Mo Bai's prestige in Daomen.

But then, he hesitated again: "Your Highness won't tell them ......"

Mo Bai's footsteps paused slightly, and he turned his head to look at Zhang Bangli: "If I tell them about His Majesty, they are still willing to answer the call, do you still need to worry?" ”

After saying that, Mo Bai's footsteps moved, and his figure quickly disappeared in front of Zhang Bangli.

Zhang Bangli's face paused slightly, and then he also reacted, he was really stupid to ask.

His Highness would not act so recklessly, and as His Highness said, if he told them that they would immediately answer the call in the starry night, then there would be nothing to worry about.

was also too nervous, and the king of Thailand was also nervous, so he didn't react for a while.

After a pause, he chased towards the middle palace again, he still had something to say to King Ming.

Middle Palace.

The queen still looked haggard, but she didn't cry anymore when she saw her again today, and even got up to have breakfast with Mo Bai and Lin Suyin, but she didn't eat much.

"Emperor, have you ever met your father?" At the dinner table, the queen suddenly asked.

Mo Bai was slightly silent, and said: "The palace doesn't plan to announce the news immediately, I haven't seen it yet, I plan to go to Zhang Bangli and ask again later." ”

When the queen heard this, her eyes lowered, and she didn't say anything more.

After the meal, Mo Bai sent her to the dormitory, and Zhang Bangli chased after her again.

Mo Bai was about to retire, but saw the queen look up at the old palace maid and Lin Suyin, her eyes glanced at Lin Suyin's stomach, and then raised her eyes and said to Lin Suyin: "Suyin, you are pregnant now, you need to rest!" ”

"Queen Xie cares, Suyin will pay attention." Lin Suyin didn't hear the queen's voice for a while.

Mo Bai could see that the queen mother seemed to be supporting Lin Suyin, so he said: "During pregnancy, you can't always lie down, it's better to let your aunt go to the garden with you for a turn." ”

"Yes!" The old palace maid took the order first and spoke.

Lin Suyin finally reacted, glanced at Mo Bai, and saw Mo Bai nodding to her, before retiring.

When the two of them went out, Mo Bai asked softly, "Does the queen mother have something to say to her son?" ”

The queen raised her eyes, looked at Mo Bai, was silent, and said, "Is there anyone around?" ”

"The queen mother is relieved." With Mo Bai's cultivation, if someone eavesdropped, he would naturally be able to find out.

The queen nodded, but after thinking about it again, she said: "I heard that Lao Jiu is in charge of the palace now, what do you think?" ”

Mo Bai was stunned when he heard this, he didn't expect that the queen, who was heartbroken yesterday, would actually ask this question today.

But then, he was also relieved, after a country, how could he really be sad and don't care about anything?

"What does the queen mother think her sons should do now?" Mo Bai wanted to say it directly, but when the words came to his lips, he didn't say it, but asked.

The queen fixed her gaze on his face: "Lao Jiu is indeed the new monarch appointed by your father, and this palace can be sure that this matter is not a fraud." ”

"Erchen knows that when he made the third child the crown prince, Erchen could see that his father's heart belonged to Lao Jiu, and he established the third child just to use the battle between the third child and the boss to clear the obstacles for Lao Jiu." Mo Bai nodded.

"Hongu wants to know, what do you think now?" The queen asked again.
