"So, what about Ning Yi?"

The wind chimes shake and make a crisp sound.

The snow in Xiling is always very heavy, and the eaves of Sanqing Pavilion are covered with a thick layer of frost and snow.

The "young man" who spoke, wearing a snow-white thick jacket on his shoulders, stood on tiptoe at this moment, and pulled the wind chime hard, compared with three years ago, a lot of changes have occurred in his body.

Temperament has changed.

The sea in his eyes disappeared, and in the depths of his pupils, there was more of a young and vivid light like spring.

Three years ago, Xu Qingke led the Tiandu killing game.

Lingshan and Daozong, as the two major helpers, contributed great strength to the final killing of "Taizong".

And after that...... The crown prince did not hold the parties responsible.

This is why the coup d'état in Tiandu three years ago was so completely covered up, if outsiders knew the details of the prince's handling of this matter, the wave of public opinion set off would force the current situation to a rather urgent point.

The crown prince is a moderate, but that doesn't mean he can't kill.

In the Great Sui world, Lingshan and Daozong have never been enemies, and they are the two indispensable "helps" of the emperors of the past dynasties, but the sad thing is also that the two major sects are neither enemies nor "friends".

History is the same as the repetitive plot.

After the emperor took power, Daozong and Lingshan would receive a great deal of suppression...... It's like a cycle, the challenger needs strength, the new emperor needs stability, and the rise and fall of Dao Sect and Lingshan is like a tide that goes back and forth, ups and downs.

Here's why...... Chen Yi can survive.

Because the prince still needs him.

Chen Yi forgot a lot of things.

The old soul named "Chen Tuo" has been erased by Taizong.

And coincidentally, the coup d'état in Tiandu and the drama of the Taoist Sect were all planned by him alone.

This huge chaos was cut into one narrow "truth" after another by the prince, just like a broken mirror, the mirror of "Chen Yi" has been broken, and it is impossible to fight back the truth.

Tiandu's carriage, carrying the seriously injured young Pope, was sent back to Xiling.

Several elders of the Sanqing Pavilion had complicated expressions when they saw this scene.

They once had a secret conversation with the three princes in Xiling, and were finally persuaded by the white-haired strategist to help Li Bailin in the chaos of the heavenly capital.

And this gift to the third prince was sent back by the crown prince at this moment.

Just like those officials in the Third Division who had stood in the wrong line, the elders of the Daoist Sect didn't know the attitude of the Great Sui Imperial City...... They could only take over "Chen Yi" silently, this young pope who was "promising" in the past, at the moment, in their eyes, was no longer so pure.

Is this a threat from the Imperial City, or is it a useless pawn?

No matter what one it is...... Sanqing Pavilion has to pay attention.

Today's situation has become very delicate.

Regarding what happened in Tiandu, if the prince doesn't care, they can't care.

Regarding the Pope sent to Xiling, if the crown prince does not abolish Chen Yi, they cannot abolish Chen Yi.

......

......

Pull the wind chime down.

Chen Yi gently placed it in his ear, listening to the sound of the wind inside, gently colliding and lingering in the wall of the instrument, making a roar like a sea tide.

Standing beside Chen Yi was none other than others.

It was Su Mu who resigned from the Tiandu Taiqing Pavilion and returned to his hometown to Xiling.

Su Mu said softly: "Mr. Ning Yi's whereabouts are not known yet. ”

"The prince wants to find Ning Yi, because the prince wants to know the truth about Changling three years ago......" Chen Yi spoke softly, frowning at the same time, every time he moved his memory to the Tiandu three years ago, there was a pain in his mind that almost exploded, he gently pressed his temple with one hand, and said slowly: "The ghost cultivator in the eastern realm is also looking for him?"

Su Mu nodded.

"The turmoil in Liuli Mountain has gradually stabilized in the past three years. Li Baijing has lost his momentum, and he hopes that Taizong can return from Changling more than the crown prince. ”

If the old emperor had not died.

So...... Everything will be back to square one.

Li Beluga still has a chance.

"Dongjing doesn't want Ning Yi to come back,......" Chen Yi muttered: "Kill Ning Yi, with the character of the crown prince, if you don't know the truth about Changling, you won't attack Liuli Mountain for a day." ”

Su Mu was stunned, and his expression became solemn.

That's the reason.

Chen Yi lowered his head and looked at the wind chime lying in his palm.

The problem is back to square one.

The Pope, who was no longer a teenager, repeated the question gently.

"So, what about Ning Yi?"

People from all sides are looking for Ning Yi.

Liu Shiyi of Jianhu Palace specially went out of the customs for this purpose and traveled down the mountain.

Ning Yi once helped Liu Shiyi in the Imperial City and saved his life.

It's a personal relationship.

Xiao Wuliang Mountain, Liuli Mountain, and this part of the forces that have a grudge against Ning Yi have formed a relationship and have grudges that are difficult to resolve, if they find Ning Yi in the territory of the Great Sui, they will directly kill him.

And Shushan, Purple Mountain, and the Academy are the only backers and backstage of "Ning Yi".

It is also the purest and most straightforward force.

Find Ning Yi.

Save Ning Yi.

Keep Ning Yi.

Chen Yi fell into a short thought, in this turmoil, the role played by the Taoist sect...... As in the past thousand years, the Taoist sect has never deviated from its position because of a certain person, and the Sanqing Pavilion has no position, only looking at interests.

It all depends on the person who has the most voice today.

Prince.

After finding Ning Yi...... Whether the prince wants to kill, or to protect.

This will of the prince means the will of the Great Sui, and whoever dares to disobey will be against the entire Great Sui.

The frost and snow on the eaves made a slight vibration.

The sound of footsteps was heard outside the courtyard gate.

Chen Yi raised his head, the courtyard door was pushed open by the ma-robed Taoist, and a letter that crossed the Great Wall of the border came to him.

Su Mu took the letter, and he was surprised: "Your Excellency...... It's the letter of the Purple Mountain. ”

"Purple Mountain...... Miss Pei. ”

Chen Yi raised his eyebrows.

He took the letter with both hands and opened it.

Su Mu carefully observed the Pope's expression.

Chen Yi's expression was a little irrepressible joy at first, then gradually solemnized, and finally he fell silent.

He spent three years in Xiling Retreat.

He rarely showed his face, with Chen Yi's intelligence, he actually guessed the general things that happened in Tiandu, Daozong played an ugly role in the chaos of Tiandu, and he was mostly used as a chess piece...... When the affair was over, his pawn lost its maximum effectiveness.

As a result, the elders of the Sanqing Pavilion changed their attitude towards him.

He is still the Pope, the only Pope of the entire Great Sui, who enjoys the love and support of the universal faithful, and this has not changed...... But he could only sit in this remote compound.

Even if there is a monstrous cry outside, it has nothing to do with him.

is like the "prince" who is standing at the highest place of the Great Sui.

Today's Chen Yi still has a high prestige in the Taoist sect, and his name is, in a sense, the "imperial power" in the Taoist system.

But imperial power has never existed only three feet away.

And he could only read and chant the scriptures against the three-foot stone wall in front of him.

Su Mu pursed his lips and said softly, "Is it Mr. Ning Yi's news?"

Chen Yi nodded.

Su Mu's expression became excited, he sighed, and said with emotion: "Mr. Ning Yi is really alive......

Otherwise, Miss Pei would not have traveled thousands of miles to write this letter.

Otherwise, the Pope, who is usually moody, would not have shown joy just now.

Chen Yi didn't intend to hide the news, he raised his head, looked at the snow chips falling from the eaves, and said thoughtfully: "Su Mu, what do you think is the Sanqing Pavilion in Xiling?"

Su Mu was slightly stunned.

He didn't understand why Chen Yi was asking himself this question.

These three years...... He accompanied the Pope through the retreat, saying it was a retreat, but the truth was obvious.

The elder pavilion who holds the real power imprisons Chen Yi here.

He replied honestly: "I think it is ...... This place is a dark prison. ”

Chen Yi shook his head and said, "It's a little inappropriate, although they imprisoned me, they didn't punish me, you and I don't worry about eating and drinking every day, it's just that the days are a little boring." ”

Su Mu hadn't had time to think about it yet.

Chen Yi said quietly: "So...... It's not dark. ”

Su Mu was stunned.

Chen Yi's shoulders fell with some snow chips.

He muttered, "But this is indeed a prison, how long has it been since I left the house?"

Three years.

Su Mu said cautiously: "You want to go out?"

Chen Yi said calmly: "The prisons in this world can hold people, but they can't hold one thing. ”

The wind chimes make a crisp sound.

Snowflakes fell from the corners of the eaves, and were blown to the ground.

"The prince wants news of Ning Yi. ”

"I have. ”

The young pope gently tore the letter open a corner, and then bit by bit it tore it to shreds.

Chen Yi stood at the door of the house, holding the broken letter with both hands, and scattered it all, the white dust in the sky was like snow, sprinkled and circled.

The prison in this world can't hold the rumors.

Su Mu suddenly understood what Chen Yi meant.

Sanqing Pavilion did not let go of the Pope because Tiandu's will had been undecided, and I am afraid that Chen Yi would not be let go until the Taoist Sect guessed the meaning of the prince...... Unless.

Unless the crown prince himself ordered it.

And now the prince wants what he wants most.

It is the rumor about Ning Yi's whereabouts.

Chen Yi looked at Su Mu and said, "Pack your luggage and prepare to wait for the edict of Tiandu...... We have to convince the prince to do something very important. ”

Su Mu hadn't heard the word "important" in the mouth of His Holiness the Pope for a long time.

For Chen Yi today, many things are no longer important.

What exactly was written in that letter?

Miss Pei of Purple Mountain...... What are you going to do?

Su Mu's heart was full of doubts, he suddenly had a bold conjecture, and when he followed the Pope and pushed the door for the Pope, he tentatively asked softly, "Mr. Ning Yi...... Not in this world?"

Chen Yi was obviously stunned when he lifted his feet.

He said softly, "Be careful with what you say and do. ”

Su Mu got the answer he wanted, he didn't understand how Ning Yi appeared in the demon clan, the matter had come to this, the reason was no longer important...... But when he looked down, a deeper question suddenly came to mind.

In the world of demon clans, there is only one reverse entrance.

North, Grey.
