Chapter 54: Face Saint (New Book Collection)
"Boomβ"
A loud and earth-shattering noise echoed around the docks.
Ye Qingzhou and Yu Chi Zhenjin watched the thief leader Huo Yi being devoured by the trolls.
There is no way, no matter how high their skills are, they are mortal after all, and they are not the opponents of this troll at all.
You know, this is the existence that can destroy 100,000 water armies.
Fortunately, the troll did not linger here, and the huge shadow under the water moved, and soon disappeared into the sea.
Yu Chi Zhenjin looked at the wandering monster, took a deep breath and said: "This is the Dragon King who destroyed the warship, what kind of monster does this Huo Yi raise." β
"The point is, this monster is not under his control yet." Ye Qingzhou shook his head.
Immediately, he looked at a small boat next to the dock and said, "Chengmen Fangguan, you said yes?" β
"Ahemβ"
Cheng An suddenly came out of the water, the corners of his mouth twitched, and there were words of suffering.
He was about to run away just now, but he didn't expect this Huo Yi to get nervous and attract Emperor Ao, so scared that he swam back again.
As a result, he was directly shocked to the shore by the waves made by Emperor Ao, and suffered a lot of internal injuries.
He wanted to die.
When Yu Chi Zhenjin saw him, he snorted coldly, jumped directly into the boat, lifted him to the shore, and said, "Since the thief leader Huo Yi is dead, then arrest you and go to the errand." β
β¦β¦
Dali Temple, inside a large hall.
Yu Chi Zhenjin sat at a long table with some simple dinners on the table.
After a hard day's work, he was already a little tired.
Ye Qingzhou and the others sat below, eating vegetables silently, waiting for Yu Chi Zhenjin to speak.
After Yu Chi Zhenjin ate a few bites of food, he looked at Ye Qingzhou and the others below: "Thanks to all of you for your hard work, now Huo Yi, the head thief of the Dragon King case, has been ambushed, and the Dragon King case has basically come to an end." β
Kuang Zhao hurriedly waved his hand below and said, "It's all Lord Wei Chi, you have good leadership." β
Ye Qingzhou glanced at Kuang Zhao, no wonder someone could be the leader, and the sycophants snapped.
Yu Chi Zhenjin was not arrogant, waved his hand and said: "I was able to solve the Dragon King case this time, thanks to Qingzhou's clever plan, plus Di Renjie's assistance, you two are rare talents in my Dali Temple." β
Ye Qingzhou and Di Renjie hugged their fists and said, "My lord has won the prize." β
Yu Chi Zhenjin did not continue to be polite, and said: "Although the thief leader of the Dragon King case has been ambushed, there are still many things to deal with, and the top priority is to solve the poison of the emperor and the civil and military officials. β
Ye Qingzhou nodded and said: "The matter of solving the Gu is urgent, and the adults can take advantage of the report on the Dragon King case to inform the queen mother of this matter." β
Yu Chi Zhenjin nodded and said, "I think so too, so you and I will enter the palace with you to meet the queen mother." β
"Huh?" Ye Qingzhou was stunned.
He really never thought that one day, he would be able to meet this famous emperor in history.
However, this martial queen is notoriously ruthless, and if she wants to go over, she has to be cautious in her words and deeds.
Yu Chi Zhenjin smiled and said, "The queen mother has clear rewards and punishments, and she is generous, so you don't have to be too nervous." β
Ye Qingzhou rolled his eyes in his heart, I believe in your evil.
However, since Yu Chi Zhenjin personally asked him to follow, he couldn't refuse, so he could only arch his hand and say, "Yes, my lord." β
After dinner, Ye Qingzhou followed Yu Chi Zhenjin straight to the palace.
After about half an hour, a majestic palace complex appeared in front of you.
Ye Qingzhou has been in this world for so long, and it is the first time to see the palace so closely.
The palace located in the center of Luoyang City is magnificent, carved railings and jade, and the golden dragon is carved on the golden roof, Hongmen and cornices, which is lifelike, as if it is about to take off at any time.
Although it was late at night, the entire palace was still brightly lit, and the patrolling guards were in waves and very strict.
The entire palace complex was magnificent and solemn, and when you walked inside, you didn't dare to speak loudly.
Yu Chi Zhenjin took out the token, and through the guards, he took Ye Qingzhou into the palace.
I walked in the palace for another quarter of an hour before I came to the front of Daming Palace.
This was the place where the emperor and his ministers discussed in the early dynasties.
Yu Chi Zhenjin walked up the stairs, said a few words to one of the fathers-in-law in charge, and then stepped aside.
The father-in-law in charge nodded and said, "Wait a minute, two adults, our family will go and inform the queen." β
The two waited outside the palace for half an hour before a father-in-law walked out of the palace and said loudly: "Niangniang announced that the two adults entered the palace." β
Soon, Ye Qingzhou followed Yu Chi Zhenjin to a large hall.
The main hall is brightly lit, and the stone pillars on both sides are inlaid with gold edges, which looks very magnificent.
Directly in front of the main hall is a throne of a dragon carved in gold lacquer, on which sits a graceful and luxurious woman.
She wears a phoenix hairpin on her head, a brocade dress embroidered with gold dragon and phoenix patterns on her upper body, a colorful dark flower cloud brocade skirt on her lower body, and a white xia veil behind her, which is majestic and dignified.
Ye Qingzhou looked at the woman in front of him, high up, exuding an extraordinary temperament, thinking in his heart that this should be the powerful queen of martial arts.
At this moment, Wu Zetian was wearing light makeup, without the slightest expression on his face, and looked at Yu Chi Zhenjin lightly: "Yu Chi, ask to see the palace late at night, what is the so-called matter?" β
Yu Chi Zhenjin hugged his fists and said: "Back to the queen's mother, the minister will live up to his mission and successfully solve the Dragon King case." β
Wu Zetian raised his eyebrows lightly, and said lightly: "Your speed is fast enough, just after asking the palace to seconded Jin Wuwei, the case was successfully solved, come, tell the palace, what is going on." β
"Hui Niangniang, here's how it ......"
Yu Chi Zhenjin began to recount in detail the history of this Dragon King case, of course, in order not to waste too much time, some irrelevant things were directly skipped.
It took a full quarter of an hour for Yu Chi Zhenjin to finish the case.
Wu Zetian has a lot of kung fu to nourish qi, and from beginning to end, he didn't show too much emotion.
After Yu Chi Zhenjin finished speaking, she spoke: "Are you saying that Huo Yi raised a water monster that was dozens of zhang in size, and my Datang warship was destroyed by this water monster?" β
"The minister saw with his own eyes that Huo Yi was devoured by this water monster." Yu Chi Zhenjin said.
Wu Zetian got up, walked down the stairs slowly, and said, "Also, you said that Huo Yi was tricked in the Sparrow Tongue Tea, is it true?" β
"Yes, his subordinates have already rescued Yuanzhen, the young proprietor of the Qingxin Tea Workshop, and he said it to his subordinates personally." Yu Chi Zhenjin said.
Wu Zetian frowned, and said: "The Luoyang royal family, there are more than 1,200 people, almost everyone drinks the tongue, if you drink it, you will fall into the Gu, then this Huo Yi is really bold, he wants to destroy my Tang Dynasty!" β
Yu Chi Zhenjin opened his mouth and said: "Hui Niangniang, this Huo Yi is afraid that it is precisely because of this that he occupies the Qingxin Tea Shop and secretly plans this earth-shattering conspiracy." β
Wu Zetian snorted coldly and said: "Now that the thief leader Huo Yi is dead, it is just your family's words, even if what you say is true, the emperor's dragon body cannot be close to you, and it has to be diagnosed by the imperial doctors." β
"This ......"
Yu Chi Zhenjin swallowed his saliva, and his eyes couldn't help but look at Ye Qingzhou.
When it comes to the emperor, he doesn't dare to say anything, if the Empress Wu blames him, even if he solves the Dragon King case, he won't be able to eat and walk around.
Ye Qingzhou pondered for a moment and said: "Queen Mother, the civil and military officials have been in the Gu for a long time, and if it drags on any longer, I am afraid that the medicine will be ineffective, and the country will be in great trouble. β
"Who is this man?" Wu Zetian frowned.
Yu Chi Zhenjin hurriedly said: "His name is Ye Qingzhou, he is Weichen's right-hand man, and this time the Dragon King case can be successfully solved, it all depends on his advice in the middle." β
"Ye Qingzhou?" Wu Zetian looked at Ye Qingzhou and said, "I have heard Wei Chi Aiqing mention you a few times, praising you for your eloquence and flexible mind, and I appreciate you very much." β
"Your Excellency has won the prize." Ye Qingzhou said humbly.
"What do you think about this?" Wu Zetian asked.
"Queen Mother, Wei Chen has already brought the Gu Exorcism Elixir, if you are worried about Your Majesty's dragon body, you can summon a minister who has taken Sparrow Tongue Tea, and you will know it at a try." Ye Qingzhou said.
In fact, he also saw Wu Zetian's thoughts, this was to let other ministers test the medicine, but it was difficult to speak, and he just wanted to say this sentence through their mouths.
The art of the emperor, Wu Zetian has long been at his fingertips.
"Okay, just do as you say." Sure enough, Wu Zetian nodded without thinking about it.
Immediately, she slowly walked in front of Ye Qingzhou and said lightly: "If this minister is fine, what should I do?" β
Without waiting for Ye Qingzhou to answer, Wu Zetian waved his hand and said: "That is the crime of bullying the king, you should be beheaded according to the law, do you know?" β
Although her words are not loud, they are full of murderous intent, this is the majesty of the people in power!
Ye Qingzhou understood for the first time what it means to be a companion like a tiger.
Fortunately, he opened the plot hanging, but he didn't intimidate it at all.
At that moment, he clenched his fists and said: "If this minister does not react, Weichen will be at the disposal of the queen!" β
