Chapter 40: A Game in the Woods

Bai Muliang rebelled, Zhou Zi'an fell, and the East Factory had just been established, which had already made the Queen Mother smell danger.

Li Zheng's next step must be to prevent the Queen Mother from continuing to listen to politics.

The Queen Mother had tried to poison Li Zheng before, but she was unsuccessful, and now she is repeating the same trick, which is the rhythm of the dog jumping over the wall in a hurry.

In the Qiankun Palace, Li Zheng, who had just left the early dynasty, was in a very good mood.

The Queen Mother was ill and naturally did not go to the court, so in this morning, Bai Muliang successfully resigned as the auxiliary minister, and at the same time handed over the fold, asking the Queen Mother to return to Li Zheng.

Under the leadership of Bai Muliang, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty all seconded the proposal.

Since then, when Li Zheng was in the court, there was no pair of eyes to see him chill in the back.

After cleaning his hands, Li Zheng began to enjoy the delicious food.

At this moment, Wei Xiaobao hurriedly rushed in, and without saying a word, kicked over the table.

The table was full of delicacies, scattered all over the place.

Li Zheng stretched out his hands and grabbed the loneliness, and said in a daze: "Xiaobao, what are you doing?" ”

"The food is poisonous." Wei Xiaobao said.

Being made such a fuss by Wei Xiaobao, Li Zheng lost his appetite and got up and said, "Follow me." ”

In the back garden of Qiankun Palace, there are palace maids and eunuchs who are cleaning up.

In the iron cage next to it, a dead dog was lying foaming at the mouth.

Wei Xiaobao kicked it, and the corpse was already hardened.

Li Zheng smiled: "The poisonous meal is here." ”

"It turned out that I was reckless." Wei Xiaobao was a little embarrassed.

Li Zheng laughed.

What he needs most by his side is the reckless Wei Xiaobao.

"Xiaobao, what do you do with Han Gui?" Li Zheng admired Han Gui's ability very much, but Han Gui couldn't hook up with the Queen Mother clearly, and he felt disgusted when this kind of person stayed in the palace.

Wei Xiaobao pointed to the dog and said, "Han Gui is the same as it." ”

"You killed Han Gui?" Li Zheng was shocked.

What shocked him was not Han Gui's death, but that Wei Xiaobao was able to kill Han Gui.

Zhou Zi'an of the eight-story building will be heeled, all because of the help of Bai Muliang of the eight-story building.

But who killed Han Gui in the eight-story building, who helped Wei Xiaobao?

If Zhan Sansi helped Wei Xiaobao kill Han Gui, then Li Zheng would have to rethink whether Zhan Sansi was suitable to be the commander of this big internal guard.

As soon as the eunuch removed the dog, he saw Lianhua running and said, "Your Majesty, Commander Zhan is here." ”

Li Zheng said, "Let him in." ”

Zhan Sansi quickly came and knelt on the ground and saluted.

"Zhan Sansi, can I trust you?" Li Zheng didn't let Zhan Sansi calm down, but asked coldly.

This question was very abrupt, but Zhan Sansi still said without hesitation: "Weichen's loyalty to His Majesty can be seen by the sun and the moon. ”

"Very good, you immediately arrange manpower to block the Peony Palace, and no one is allowed to enter or leave without my will." Li Zheng waved his hand and ordered.

"Obey." Zhan Sansi quickly retreated.

Li Zheng grabbed Wei Xiaobao's shoulders and said with a solemn expression: "Xiaobao, you leave the palace immediately and go to the Panruo Temple to help me persuade someone, I want him to be in charge of the Praetorian Guard for the time being." ”

The current commander of the Praetorian Guard, Zhao Chu, was recommended by Li Hao, and the possibility of the emperor canonizing him is very small.

can only kill him like he did with Han Gui.

Even if it is controlled by life and death talismans, it is not safe.

Li Zheng only had this Praetorian Guard on hand, and the commander of the Praetorian Guard had to be someone he trusted extremely much.

This person is currently practicing at Pranya Temple.

Wei Xiaobao carried the holy decree, took Xiao'an, and went to the Panruo Temple.

As soon as he left the palace gate, he ran into Tie Feixue.

Tie Feixue entered the palace this time, originally to find Wei Xiaobao, and when she came to a place where there was no one, she said in a low voice: "Father-in-law Wei, I couldn't do what you explained, Zhou Zi'an's mouth is very hard, and he doesn't say anything." ”

Zhou Zi'an became a waste, but he didn't say where the things he exchanged from Cao San were hidden.

If he couldn't find this thing, Wei Xiaobao couldn't communicate with Cao Fugui.

Tie Feixue's ability is there, it stands to reason that it shouldn't be difficult to pry Zhou Zi'an's mouth open.

But for various reasons, Tie Feixue will definitely not be heavy-handed to Zhou Zi'an.

When he came back from the temple, it seemed that he would have to go to the trial himself.

Tie Feixue was most afraid of this, but she had no choice, and after seeing Wei Xiaobao go away, she hurried to the six gates.

This is really Zhou Zi'an's last chance.

Even Bai Muliang can be controlled by Wei Xiaobao, if the life and death charm is planted on Zhou Zi'an's body, Zhou Zi'an will definitely be tortured to death.

Xiao An was very familiar with Chang'an City, and took Wei Xiaobao to take a shortcut to the Panruo Temple.

The temple almost occupies a square and the incense is vigorous.

The relatives of the emperor and the dignitaries, are not the pilgrims of the Prajna Temple.

The temple is dedicated to the Bodhisattva.

Together with Guanyin Bodhisattva, the Great Trend Bodhisattva can be called the right-hand man of Amitabha Buddha.

Wei Xiaobao made incense in the Daxiong Treasure Hall, got up and asked the little monk on the side, "Where is the Zen Master of Dead Wood?" ”

"Donor, please come with the little monk." The monk folded his hands and led the way.

Going around and around, I came to a bamboo forest in the back mountain.

The little monk stopped and said, "Uncle Deadwood is in the forest, and the little monk can't set foot here, so the donor himself can go in." ”

The bamboo forest is dense, covering the sky and the sun.

There are many birdsongs in the forest, which is more quiet.

It didn't take long for Wei Xiaobao to see a pavilion in front of him, and there were two monks in the pavilion, as if they were playing a game.

One of them turned out to be Master Kurong.

The person who played against Master Kurong, although he was wearing a monk's robe, he was not shaved, his white hair was like snow, and his white hair was like a waterfall, which was quite immortal.

That guy must be the Deadwood Zen Master.

Wei Xiaobao asked Xiao An to wait here, walked into the pavilion, stood on the side, and patiently watched the battle.

Before leaving, Li Zheng specially instructed that the Deadwood Zen Master was fond of chess, and if he happened to encounter the Deadwood Zen Master playing chess, he should not disturb.

This game has been played to the middle game, but from the perspective of the chess shape, the two are on par, on par.

Master Kurong held the black, and a son fell, smiling.

With this one piece, the situation changed in an instant, swallowing half of White's country, causing White to be in jeopardy.

What a good move.

In the previous life, Wei Xiaobao also loved Go and studied it a lot.

For Master Kurong's move, he wanted to applaud him.

The Deadwood Zen Master was almost lying on the chessboard, looking at this side, looking there, an old face was stretched very long.

Master Kurong didn't urge, he won this game of chess.

After a while, the Dead Wood Zen Master threw in defeat and praised: "You old thing, your chess skills have really grown a lot." ”

"Concession and concession." Master Kurong smiled from ear to ear.

Zen Master Deadwood said disdainfully: "Don't forget that you have lost nine in a row before. ”

"If Zen Master Deadwood goes down here, it will be Master Kurong who loses." Wei Xiaobao suddenly stretched out his hand and pointed to one part of the chessboard.

The two masters looked at each other at the same time.

Master Kurong muttered: "If you jump here, the old man will be ......."

His eyes suddenly lit up, and he exclaimed, "Wonderful." ”

"Why didn't the old man think of it?" Zen Master Deadwood was very annoyed.

Master Kurong looked at Wei Xiaobao with a smile and said, "I didn't expect that Master Wei still had such chess power, and the old man was itching, and he wanted to play a game with Master Wei." ”

"I'm going to have a plate with the master another day, but today, I have something important to find the Deadwood Zen Master." Wei Xiaobao said and took out the holy decree and handed it to the Deadwood Zen Master.
