Loufu.

Lou Youzhi led Dou Tianyuan to the backyard.

"This is the first time you've invited me to your house."

Dou Tianyuan looked around curiously, "What, aren't you afraid of me assassinating you now?" ”

"You can't assassinate me."

Lou Youzhi pushed open the door of the study, "My real residence, no one knows where it is." ”

“…… You've really been guarding against me? ”

Dou Tianyuan was a little speechless.

"It's not against you, it's against anyone."

Lou Youzhi walked into the study first, and turned the vase on the table a few times to the left and right.

After a faint sound of the machine turning, the polished wall on the left began to fall, revealing a tabletop-sized remnant.

"Follow me."

Lou Youzhi glanced at Dou Tianyuan, walked over and touched the remnant picture with his palm.

Then, in an instant, he disappeared into the study.

Dou Tianyuan was stunned and followed suit.

When they reappeared, the two had already appeared in an underground tunnel.

"That ...... just now"

Dou Tianyuan stared at Lou Youzhi on the side, "Is it a five-square diagram?" ”

"I didn't expect you to remember."

Lou Youzhi tugged at the corners of his mouth.

"Nonsense! At the beginning, this Dao weapon borrowed from me, my hand broke the sky, how could I not remember! ”

Dou Tianyuan was a little angry, "Didn't you say that without the Cave Heaven Fragment, you can't make it at all?" ”

As early as the Wenchang period, Lou Youzhi approached him to discuss whether he could make a Taoist weapon with similar abilities as one hand breaking the sky.

The two also designed together for a long time, and finally found that the concept was enough, but the material was not enough.

In order to achieve the same effect of traveling through space, it is necessary to find enough fragments of the cave that have similar rules to the rules of communication with one hand.

At the time, both of them felt that this was impossible, so they had to stop it.

Dou Tianyuan never expected that he would be able to see a finished product in front of him.

"You're wrong, although I also call it the pentagram, but it has nothing to do with your hand breaking the sky."

Lou Youzhi shook his head.

"And how did we get here from your study?"

Dou Tianyuan didn't believe it.

"Back then, we were going in the wrong direction, and there was no need to look for the Cave Heaven Fragment that had similar rules to the One Hand Breaking the Sky."

Lou Youzhi took the first step, and said as he walked: "After all, Sumeru mustard seeds are the rules contained in all caves...... As long as there are enough fragments of the cave, it can also create an effect similar to that of traveling through space. ”

"But the problem is that Sumeru mustard seeds are not as condensed and rich as the rules of the Cave Heaven, so how many fragments do you have to ...... Straight sissy thief! ”

Dou Tianyuan was startled halfway through speaking, and hurriedly followed the footsteps, "How many fragments have you collected?!" ”

"Hundreds, all sorts of different ones."

Lou Youzhi did not give a clear answer.

“……”

Dou Tianyuan was speechless by this number.

It is worthy of Lou Heizi.

actually made such a big move under his nose, but he didn't notice it at all.

"It's a pity that after refining it into a Dao weapon, the rules of the Cave Heaven that were originally contaminated by the fragments have all dissipated."

Lou Youzhi sighed, "Originally, I thought it was worth it, but now I ......."

"What's going on now?"

Dou Tianyuan frowned.

"You'll find out in a moment."

Lou Youzhi continued to move forward, taking Dou Tianyuan around.

After half a burnt incense, the two finally came to the middle hall of the underground palace.

“！！！”

Dou Tianyuan looked at the huge hall and the countless passages connecting the halls, and was completely shocked.

After a while, he slowly exhaled a breath: "It's actually cautious to this extent...... Back then, Emperor Wenchang made you so afraid? ”

"There's actually more of a setup than you'll see, and besides, I'm not afraid."

Lou Youzhi shook his head, walked to the middle and sat down, "If you can't even guarantee your survival, you don't need to mention what you want to do." ”

"Okay......"

Dou Tianyuan was a little helpless, and sat opposite Lou Youzhi, "You know that one hand is special, how dare you bring me here?" ”

"To test you, it's not the first time I've been here."

Lou Youzhi said, his expression a little puzzled.

"What do you mean?"

Dou Tianyuan frowned.

"A few days ago, there was an extra piece of letterhead."

Lou Youzhi pointed to the desk not far away, "There are people I don't know about coming in." ”

"You doubt me?"

Dou Tianyuan's face turned cold.

"To be honest, I don't doubt you much."

Lou Youzhi shook his head, "I just thought of you." ”

"So you brought me to temptation, and then you don't think I'm pretending?"

Dou Tianyuan was still a little displeased, but his face had eased a lot.

"Yes, if you were disguised, others might not be able to see it, but I can see it."

Lou Youzhi sighed, his eyes were a little solemn: "But, this is not good news." ”

"Tell me about your setups."

Dou Tianyuan also became serious.

"Too much, I won't go into details."

Lou Youzhi replied, "In short, if you want to completely hide my arrangement, unless it is a presence that has no weight and is completely invisible to the naked eye." ”

"Yang God?"

Dou Tianyuan instinctively thought of this.

"Get rid of the Yang God again."

Lou Youzhi shook his head, "The materials of this underground palace are mixed with purple thunder jade, and the pure yang god can't enter without the body." ”

"That's weird......"

Dou Tianyuan pondered for a moment and asked, "Do you have any doubters?" ”

"Nope."

Lou Youzhi shook his head again, "I have already investigated, at least the court officials on the surface can rule out suspicion." ”

"Yes, I can't find it at all."

Dou Tianyuan's face fell, and he turned to say, "What is written on the letterhead?" ”

"That's another reason I'm bringing you here."

Lou Youzhi's expression was upright, and he looked at Dou Tianyuan deeply: "How much longevity do you have?" ”

"Shou Yuan?"

Dou Tianyuan raised his eyebrows and said, "You should know that after the cultivation path reaches its peak, it is impossible to detect the remaining longevity. ”

"What about before you reach the top?"

Lou Youzhi asked.

"I'm sorry."

Dou Tianyuan hooked the corners of his mouth and said proudly: "Before reaching the top, my cultivation had never stagnated. ”

“…… Forget it, it's useless to ask. ”

Lou Youzhi was a little speechless, "Even if the longevity of Yuchi is relatively long, it won't be long, and I'm afraid there is not much hope ......for forty-five years."

Dou Tianyuan's eyes flashed, and he said in a deep voice: "Why forty-five years? ”

"There was only one sentence in that letterhead......

Lou Youzhi calmly explained the contents of the letterhead, as well as the calculation results he had with Gu Chengren.

Dou Tianyuan went from shaking to silence, and only after a while did he sigh faintly: "It seems that Lao Jiang can't look at it for the time being." ”

"Huh."

Lou Youzhi suddenly smiled, "When the time comes, when we meet underground, you and I will inevitably be scolded by him for a few traitors." ”

"Cut, I won't let him stop when the time comes, and I'll beat him up until he calls grandpa."

Dou Tianyuan said disdainfully.

After saying this, the two fell silent.

It's been another halfway.

Dou Tianyuan took the lead and said: "In this case, one generation will do one generation, I believe Xu Chong." ”

Lou Youzhiyi raised his eyebrows, "To be honest, I don't want to choose him." ”

"Huh?"

Dou Tianyuan was surprised, "You know everything he does, whether it is talent, temperament, or means, it is the best choice, what else do you have to worry about...... Because of the identity of Taizu's lineage? ”

"It has nothing to do with any of that."

Lou Youzhi shook his head, "You always say that he is very similar to me, but I think that he is more like you than me...... If it weren't for Jiang Zhihong's death, I'm afraid you wouldn't even bother to pay attention to these things, right? ”

Ah......h

Dou Tianyuan was speechless for a moment.

"Xu Chong is just like me in the city government."

Lou Youzhi sighed, "He gave me the feeling that from beginning to end, he didn't have any thoughts of loyalty to the king and love the people. ”

"He only cares about the people he cares about."

"If those things didn't happen in Canglong, not in Yongzhou, and not in the people close to him, he was just afraid that he would be as lazy as you."

"Even, if it weren't for the restrictions of the hukou system, he wouldn't have stepped into officialdom at all from the beginning."

"Of course, things have happened, and Xu Chong's attitude is obvious."

Lou Youzhi narrowed his eyes, "But think about it, if he really takes my place and takes over my power, what means will he take?" ”

"This ......"

Dou Tianyuan's face changed.

Although he didn't want to admit it, when he learned the cause of Jiang Zhihong's death, he did have a big rebellious thought.

The reason why it dissipated so quickly was not only jealousy, but also the friendship with Emperor Yongtai.

A friend of the past, a monarch of the present.

In his heart, he wanted to wait until the evidence was ironclad before finally deciding his attitude towards Emperor Yongtai.

In exchange for Xu Chong, if he had enough strength, he would probably have acted on it at that time.

After all, Xu Chong and Emperor Yongtai have no friendship.

"Looks like you've got it in mind."

Lou Youzhi nodded, "Xu Chong will definitely use his absolute strength, or absolute strength, to completely tear everything apart after he has a complete grasp, and then reformulate the rules that belong to him...... And this is not what I want to see, nor is it what Jiang Zhihong wants to see. ”

“…… Well, you have a point. ”

Dou Tianyuan couldn't refute it, and instead asked, "Then who do you plan to let replace you?" ”

"Zhang Shunyi."

Lou Youzhi replied.

"Him?"

Dou Tianyuan was very surprised.

"Gu Chengren recommended Shi Zheng to me, but after thinking about it, I felt that Shi Zheng was not suitable."

Lou Youzhi explained, "Although Shi Zheng has read the books of sages and sages, which is not the same as Xu Chong in nature, the problem is that he is too obsessed with Jiang Zhihong's death. ”

"This will distort his mind, once he knows the real cause of Jiang Zhihong's death, he is afraid that the means will be more extreme than Xu Chong."

"In comparison, Zhang Shunyi is the most suitable person."

"In fact, I've been watching him secretly for a long time."

"Talent, character, and conduct are all excellent, and the most rare thing is that he retains his sincerity while not being pedantic at all...... This aspect is a little stronger than Jiang Zhihongdu. ”

Lou Youzhi smiled, "I really can't find a more suitable person than him." ”

Dou Tianyuan thought for a moment and said with some hesitation, "What you said is true, but there are two problems in this. ”

"First, Zhang Shunyi's qualifications are too shallow."

"If according to the normal process, it will take him thirty years to enter the cabinet, and if you forcibly guarantee him to enter the cabinet, your power will definitely be enough, but then he may not be able to convince the public."

"Second, Zhang Shunyi is too deeply involved with the Lu family."

"To promote him as the first assistant, first of all, Lu Zhong must voluntarily leave the cabinet, and then other families, as well as His Majesty, may not agree."

Both questions are really on the surface, but Lou Youzhi doesn't care about them.

"The first question, don't forget, Zhang Shunyi is the third yuan and the first."

Lou Youzhi opened his mouth to explain, "Sanyuan and the first are different from ordinary champions, in addition to allowing him to make a lot of progress in cultivation, it can also offset a large part of the lack of qualifications...... As for the second question, as long as the Lu family does not go out of the way for a day, no one will be really jealous, and neither will Your Majesty. ”

"Yes, it looks like you've got everything figured out."

Dou Tianyuan shook his head helplessly.

He knew that Lou Youzhi was just talking about it, and it was definitely not that simple to really do.

Other than that......

"Tell me, what do you want me to do?"

Dou Tianyuan looked directly at Lou Youzhi, "Bringing me here, you must not just tell me this." ”

"The first thing is the prince's side."

Lou Youzhi's eyes flashed.

"Prince?"

Dou Tianyuan's heart sank, "Recently, the prince has been secretly repeating Du Qianchuan's original actions and exposing natural disasters to hundreds of officials...... Sure enough, you're in charge! ”

"No, I didn't do anything."

Lou Youzhi shook his head, "I just lifted his blinded memory, and the rest is what he thinks about." ”

"Really?"

Dou Tianyuan looked at Lou Youzhi suspiciously, "Don't tell me, you didn't expect it at all." ”

"I've had a guess, but it's just a guess, and I'm not sure he'll actually do it......"

Lou Youzhi's face was a little complicated, "Now it seems that he is really different from His Majesty back then." ”

"Okay...... You want me to help the prince speed up? ”

Dou Tianyuan asked.

"No, you just need to protect him in secret."

Lou Youzhi replied, "I'm not sure if Your Majesty has any other power in his hands, but it's always right to plan ahead." ”

"It's easy to do...... I won't ask you what you want the prince to do, because you won't tell me. ”

Dou Tianyuan's tone was a little dissatisfied, "Let's talk about the second thing." ”

"The second thing, don't do superfluous things."

Lou Youzhi looked at Dou Tianyuan deeply.

"Superfluous...... What do you mean? ”

Dou Tianyuan narrowed his eyes.

"If I'm not mistaken, many years ago, you entered the apse of the Heavenly Pole Palace."

Lou Youzhi said meaningfully, "In addition, Xie Changqing's phaseless coat, you haven't handed it over to the treasury so far, what do you want to do?" ”

“……”

Dou Tianyuan was silent, and after a long time, he slowly exhaled a breath of turbidity, "I still can't hide it from you......"

"Do you think that with the unphased clothes and one hand to break the sky, you can enter the apse to explore?"

Lou Youzhi's expression was solemn, "Don't forget, Your Majesty has demagogic powers, and your golden body should not be able to resist the magic powers." ”

Hearing this, Dou Tianyuan's complexion became subtle.

"You ......"

Lou Youzhi was stunned by Dou Tianyuan's reaction, and then shocked, "You've already been there?!" ”

"Panic what."

Dou Tianyuan tugged at the corners of his mouth, "Do you think I'm so desperate...... I didn't go in, I just opened a door and listened for a while. ”

“……”

Lou Youzhi really wanted to slap Dou Tianyuan to death at this time.

Indeed, according to the characteristics of one hand to break the sky, if you just open a door, as long as the person on the other side does not happen to bump into this door, you will not be able to find it at all.

But that's for the average person.

Don't forget, there's a cave in the apse!

Once Dou Tianyuan's door is opened within the scope of the rules, it will be instantly detected by the Lord of the Cave Heaven.

Just like when he was in Wenyuan Pavilion, he found Dou Tianyuan listening to the corner.

And that's not even the worst of it.

"You and I don't know how His Majesty's supernatural powers are used."

Lou Youzhi looked at Dou Tianyuan vigilantly, "What if the power of the supernatural power can directly pass through that door and act on you?" ”

"You think I didn't think about this?"

Dou Tianyuan was a little depressed, and said: "I opened twenty doors in a row, each with a different face and position, and the last one is the one that leads to the apse, even if His Majesty can accurately perceive the door opened in the apse, but except for that one, it is impossible for him to find the remaining nineteen ...... I put the sound mage in front of the door, I am tens of thousands of miles away, if he can control me in this way, then we can just find a place to hide and recuperate. ”

“……”

Lou Youzhi was speechless for a while, and it took a long time before he spit out a sentence: "I now doubt your original intention of creating the Wind Breaker." ”

Dou Tianyuan's face darkened, and he waved his hand and said, "Don't talk so far, seriously, guess what I heard?" ”

"What?"

Lou Youzhi is awe-inspiring.

"What came out of the French soldiers was a shrill echo, an echo that could make people feel frightened just by hearing it."

Dou Tianyuan described, a trace of fear flashed in his eyes: "It's like a behemoth that we can't imagine, rubbing against something...... In just a moment, I couldn't help but close all twenty doors. ”

Lou Youzhi closed his eyes and tried to imagine a picture that could match this description.

However, after half a while, there was still nothing.

"That's it."

Lou Youzhi shook his head and opened his eyes, "I don't have a clue about this matter, just write it down, and don't pay attention to it for the time being." ”

"That's why I'm in a hurry to tell you."

Dou Tianyuan stood up, "If there is nothing else, I'll leave first, staring at the prince." ”

"There is labor."

Lou Youzhi bowed slightly, watching Dou Tianyuan disappear in front of him.

About half an hour had passed, and footsteps came from one of the passages that connected to the atrium.

Yan Fang walked out with one person and respectfully clenched his fists.

"My lord, Zhang Shi has spoken."

Eryang, barely so much, 1200 words short of the guaranteed 6000......
