After Xu Huaigu returned from the residences of those Taoist priests, he stayed in his room and seriously thought about countermeasures and clues.

Early the next morning, it was still the fourth watch, and the rooster had not yet sounded.

Xu Huaigu sat quietly on the bed, only the sound of raindrops falling to his ears was the sound of dripping raindrops falling to the ground, and even his extremely slight breathing became harsh at this time.

He suddenly opened his eyes and looked out the door warily.

There was the sound of hurried footsteps.

Could it be that someone has discovered their identity?

Xu Huaigu frowned, secretly took out a sword, and put his hand behind his forearm.

Immediately, the footsteps became heavy and hurried, followed by several loud knocks on the door, accompanied by an angry scolding of a man: "The newcomer inside, don't you see what time it is?" I slept like a dead pig, and in half an hour, the morning dynasty was about to begin, and if you were late, see how you could save your head! ”

Xu Huaigu was startled by the man's voice at first, but when he heard that he was going to do the work of a guard, he breathed a sigh of relief.

At least not to be identified, which is already good.

He pretended to be alarmed, rolled out of bed, and replied, "Oh, I've overslept!" I'll go right away, thank you big brother for reminding me! ”

The man outside still kicked the door a few times and shouted: "You short-lived ghost, you dare to be so late on the first day of the court, and sooner or later you will be beheaded!" Hillbilly, I think you'd better go back to farming! ”

Then he said angrily: "I don't know where the shit luck came from...... It's really annoying that such a good position as the imperial guard was taken by you hillbilly! ”

Dare to love him, he is just bullying Xu Huaigu and has no background.

Xu Huaigu squinted at the door that was being kicked and trembled, and he had a little killing intent in his heart.

Ignorant fools, terrible.

But he had something important to do, so he didn't have time to deal with this person, so he pretended not to hear it, hurriedly put on his armor, and prepared to go to the Qinzheng Hall of the Early Dynasty to meet the hundred officials.

After he came back last night, he didn't fall asleep, but he didn't expect that the early dynasty of Dayu Kingdom would start when the fourth watch was the day, and it seemed that Lin Hongzhi's life as an emperor was not as good as he imagined.

Lin Cangyang gave him the identity of a royal guard, in fact, there was a great benefit. That is, Xu Huaigu was guarding outside the Qinzheng Palace, and with his little cultivation, he could hear the discussions in the Qinzheng Palace, so it was also very important for him to understand the national conditions of Dayu Kingdom.

Xu Huaigu is actually very interested in the recent situation of Dayu Kingdom.

When he arrived at the Qinzheng Palace, he happened to see an old man walking alone in the dark and slowly entering the Qinzheng Palace.

The old man was very tall, with a gray beard, and he had a long old man, and he walked very standardly, even a little stereotypically. The most striking thing is his long sword-like eyebrows and narrow eyes, which are as sharp as blades.

The old man was dressed in a large purple robe, with a small golden seal and a ribbon of green hairpins tied around his waist.

Xu Huaigu only glanced at it, and then began to subconsciously break out in a cold sweat.

Golden Seal and Green Ribbon, the highest official position in Dayu Country, this person can only be the national teacher who temporarily acts as the agent of all government affairs in Dayu Kingdom.

The surname of the national teacher of Dayu is Ling, his name is Li, and he is Ling Li together with Zuo.

This name is a must-see, and it fits the old man's personality very well. It is said that Ling Li was originally a native of Middle-earth and a monk of the Eight Realms, but when he entered the Great Yu Kingdom once, he fell in love with a mortal woman in the Great Yu Country for some reason.

The woman met Ling Li at the age of thirty. Before that, she had suffered a lot in the first half of her life, and when she encountered the fierceness, she had already lost too much life, and she was already dying of old age at the age of forty-five.

But what is even more incomprehensible than Ling Li falling in love with a mortal woman is that he would exchange all the cultivation of the Eight Realms for her ten years of longevity, so that the woman could continue to live for another ten years before dying.

Since then, Ling Li has lived in seclusion in the mountains and forests next to the woman's grave, and every festival, he must go to the woman's grave to pay respects.

There have been many opinions on this matter.

Some people say that Lingli is the most affectionate, and some people say that Lingli is going against the way of heaven to change life for people, and he will be punished by God.

No one knows the truth of the story, and Ling Li has been silent about it.

The cultivation is gone, but his vision and insight are still there. So after the Molong incident, under Lin Hongzhi's repeated earnest requests, he finally took up the position of the national teacher of Dayu three years ago, and his power was a few points greater than that of the prime minister. And Dayu has had several proposals to deal with Molong over the years, such as the matter of the Four Nations Alliance, which came from him.

In fact, with a sharp state of mind, even cultivation is not acceptable, why do you care about the position of a national teacher in Dayu Country?

Some people say that Ling Li is tired of living a secluded life in the mountains and forests and wants to go out of the mountains again. Some people also say that Ling Li just wanted to protect the woman's hometown, so he went out of the mountain to become an official.

These arguments are also never talked about.

This makes this Ling Guoshi a very controversial figure all the time.

Ling Li only glanced at Xu Huaigu, and Xu Huaigu felt that his heart was seen through, as if he was pointed between his eyebrows by a sword.

It's really awesome.

Xu Huaigu was afraid that his identity would be exposed, but fortunately, Ling Li only glanced at him, and then walked into the Qinzheng Hall with steady steps.

The sonorous footsteps sounded in the unmanned Qinzheng Palace, like a lonely drum beat in the dark night.

He ascended the steps in front of the throne, did not stop until he reached the edge of the seat, turned and stood, and then looked at the darkness of the night outside the temple gate, not knowing what he was thinking.

Someone asked him why he wanted to go out of the mountains to become an official, but he never answered.

The answer is not in the mouth, but in the most cold and humble throne in the world.

But now the owner of this seat is still dying on the sickbed.

Ling Li is very tired.

Maybe it's because he has no practice, Ling Li feels that he gets up on the fourth watch, and this old bone is a little unbearable.

In the three years that he became the national teacher of Dayu State, he thought too much.

He saw how a human emperor gave up his enjoyment and threw himself into the people's livelihood and the army, and he also saw how the officials below filled their pockets and used all their scheming and means to form a party and fight each other.

Sometimes it's not that monks don't like to take care of human affairs, but those pickled things in the world, and it's really bad to see too much.

He was disappointed.

He was just staying in this palace, but he knew very well how many bright and dark forces were playing in the city of Xingqing City at this time.

Song Er of the Demon Sect......

A black and a white woman selling oil-paper umbrellas, of unknown origin......

A Taoist priest who wants to renew the emperor's life......

Even that martial artist Qi Chaoshu...... He can't see through either.

For the first time, he suddenly felt that it was really a good thing to have cultivation, at least he didn't have to rely on others for everything.

It was getting dark outside, and the rainy night was finally over.

But the dark mist that shrouded the head of Xingqing City did not dissipate.

Fortunately, his spine never bent.
