In the blink of an eye, it has been almost a month since Mu Sheng came back from the mountain puppet, and at this time he was meditating and cultivating in the martial arts arena, and after a few weeks of strong spiritual power circulation, suddenly his eyes opened, and a divine light flashed in his eyes, and the surrounding aura was condensed.

At this time, the Que Shen pattern on his chest slowly moved, and a faint golden magic pattern appeared on the surface of his skin, and he stood up and punched the boulder in the martial arts arena.

Rumble! There was a muffled sound, and it seemed that the ground of the martial arts arena trembled, and countless cracks appeared on the surface of the boulder.

Mu Sheng closed his fist, he raised his right hand to make a punch, and gently blew the gravel chips on his fist, his heart was secretly shocked, terrifying, even he didn't expect that the secret method of the Que Divine Palace was so powerful!

At this time, he finally cultivated an advanced version of the golden armor technique, the immortal golden body, the immortal golden body has extremely strong defense, not only ordinary swords can't hurt him, even the magic weapon is difficult to hurt him, if he practiced this method when he duel with the wolf lord in Yucheng at that time, maybe he didn't even need to use the ancient treasure, just fight each other, and then it depends on who has a hard body and profound skills.

The so-called immortal golden body can only be cultivated by the realm of the old monster who has reached the realm of the four phases and one realm, if it weren't for Borges's old thief who coveted his body and was taken away by him, he wanted to cultivate it slowly and down-to-earth, then he didn't know that he had to cultivate until the year of the monkey to use this magic technique.

Thinking of this, Mu Shengyang laughed and was extremely proud.

At this moment, a temple man ran to the martial arts arena and said in a loud voice: "Your Excellency, An Guojun has a letter." ”

Mu Sheng took Gongzixiu's letter, he opened it and asked him to go hunting in the suburbs together, he naturally agreed, stepped on the war horse and went with dozens of guests, it was still an old place.

As soon as he arrived at the hunting ground in the suburbs, he saw Gongzi Xiu from a distance with the doorman guards chasing prey, and when he saw Chang Pingjun's horse team arriving, he rode his horse and galloped towards him.

Mu Sheng stepped forward and saluted: "Brother Jiu, oh no! He should be honored as An Guojun. ”

Gongzi Xiu smiled very happily when he heard this, after so many years, he finally came out.

Gongzi Xiu smiled: "What is An Guojun uneasy about the monarch, why is the relationship between our brothers so different?" Or call me Brother Jiu to listen to it happily. ”

Mu Sheng smiled: "Okay! Ninth brother. ”

Gongzi Xiu was ordered to go to the two northern counties to fight this time, and he really made a great contribution, but unlike Mu Sheng's merits, most of the elements of boasting, after the emperor knew that Gongzi Xiu had made meritorious contributions, he was happy and finally issued an order to Gongzi to repair the monarch, of course, there were also considerations of using Gongzi Xiu to suppress the East Palace

Gongzi Xiu was protected by the emperor, or he had been hidden in the snow for so many years, and now he finally came out, naturally he was overjoyed, and in his heart, his beloved majesty could finally see him.

Gongzi Xiu patted Mu Sheng on the shoulder with a smile and said, "You are not lazy, covering the safe withdrawal of the general's main force, and winning the title of General Pingnan from His Majesty, it is very good." ”

Mu Sheng's old face was hot when he heard this, and he said modestly: "Where! Where! Compared with the merits of Jiu Ge leading his troops deep into the grassland and finally quelling the rebellion of the Dongyi people, it cannot be compared with it at all. ”

Gongzi Xiu smiled: "Brother Sheng, let's stop praising each other, come!" Come! You and I go hunting together. ”

Mu Sheng bowed his head slightly when he heard this, and rode his horse to go hunting with Gongzi Xiu......

In the afternoon, the two of them each took their prey to deal with it and started eating! Another barbecue party of wild things.

At the banquet, Gongzi Xiu stared at the barbecue in his hand thoughtfully.

Gongzi Xiu thought about it, and still said: "Brother Sheng, a lot of things have happened in the two years since you left the court, I don't know if you have noticed it. ”

Mu Sheng bowed his head and said: "I probably listened, Your Majesty has released more than a dozen officials from the East Palace faction in the past two years, and removed many Rao officials under the pretext of dismissal, and even the crown prince and the right prime minister Cui Yan were ordered by His Majesty not to ask about the political affairs of the court behind closed doors, although Cui Xiangguo was not officially ordered to remove the prime minister, in fact, it is almost the same as the prime minister." ”

When Gongzi Xiu heard this, he frowned and said, "Brother Sheng, what do you think Your Majesty wants?" ”

Mu Sheng shook his head and said, "I don't know, I can probably guess that His Majesty intends to further weaken the power of the prince's party, but I really didn't expect it to be so strong!" It's unpredictable! I can't guess what His Majesty is going to do! ”

At this point, Mu Sheng also doubted in his heart what the emperor was going to do? He has been with the emperor for a while, and he has not found that the emperor has any dissatisfaction with the crown prince, and he is also praised when he is mentioned, and this matter is always and everywhere revealing something unusual......

Mu Sheng frowned and thought for a while before he hesitated: "Ninth brother, does Your Majesty really want to abolish the establishment?" It can't be, right? ”

Hearing this, Gongzi Xiu slowly shook his head, silent, just took out an arrow from the quiver, and silently wrote a fairy character on the ground with the arrow.

When Mu Sheng saw this immortal character, he was secretly shocked in his heart, and he pondered for a long time, he looked a little suspicious: "You mean, Your Majesty has achieved success in cultivation?" ”

Gongzi Xiu nodded slowly, and said: "Yes, only this explanation can make sense of His Majesty's recent series of actions, if Your Majesty is really successful in cultivation, then Your Majesty may still reign for many years, and he will not hand over power easily, and His Majesty must also do his best to suppress the prince's party, which also makes sense why his old man suddenly helped us two brothers up, didn't you enter the palace to thank you before?" If you think about it carefully, is Your Majesty's spirit much better than in the past? ”

Listening to Gongzi Xiu's analysis, Mu Sheng couldn't help but be a little stunned, thought about it, and nodded and said: "The day before yesterday, when I entered the palace to face the saint, Your Majesty did have a ruddy complexion and a long breath, according to my observation, it should not have reached the point of becoming a monk, could it really be Zhang Daoling's old man's magic medicine that worked?" ”

Gongzi Xiu shook his head slightly and said, "I don't know the truth about this over there, so I can only speculate." ”

When Mu Sheng heard this, he recalled that Zhang Daoling took him to visit the one-stop industrial chain of alchemy in the Taiji Palace, and to be honest, he had almost half of his analysis of Gongzi's cultivation, there are really monks in this world, and they can indeed cultivate, this is a real fact in front of him.

Unlike the earth where he was in his previous life, there could be no monks in that world, and the purity of the immortals was nothing, basically only existing in the fantasy, but now this different world is very different, this is all true.

He himself is also a monk, according to his observation and personal taste, the so-called Guiru Pill refined by Zhang Daoling is indeed effective, and it is not certain that the emperor can really become a monk with the help of Zhang Daoling......

Gongzi Xiu, thoughtfully, asked: "Brother Sheng, aren't you also a cultivator, let me ask you a question, if Your Majesty succeeds in cultivation, can you increase your longevity?" ”

Of course, Mu Sheng understood the meaning of his words.

Mu Sheng said: "It depends on the specific situation, now Your Majesty is old, compared to a boy who has just entered the Dao, if he really becomes a monk, his old man must reach the master level cultivation in just thirty years, at least he can increase his longevity by about eighty years." ”

Gongzi Xiu said to himself: "Eighty years? I'm afraid His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can't wait, maybe I can't wait, maybe only you, who are fellow monks, can survive until Your Majesty abdicates! ”

Mu Sheng smiled bitterly: "Brother Jiu, you may not know how difficult the cultivation is, if the cultivation is like sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat, not that you are a monk will definitely be able to cultivate to the highest level, but also depends on the merits of Rao Gen, character, opportunities, and so on." ”

"Some monks in the monk world have been hovering at the low level of cultivation all their lives and cannot advance an inch, if Your Majesty is not endowed with extraordinary talents, there is no big opportunity, it is very difficult to cultivate to a master-level monk in just thirty years."

After hearing this, Gongzi Xiu said: "If you can't reach the master-level cultivation, then Your Majesty will just become a monk, but how long will Zeng Shouyuan be?" ”

Mu Sheng's tone was a little hesitant: "Looking at Your Majesty's complexion now, it is conservatively estimated that I think I can at least prolong my life for about thirty to forty years, and it is not very difficult to live to old age." ”

Gongzi Xiu's face was surprised when he heard this, and he bowed his head slightly: "I understand, thank you Brother Sheng for solving your doubts." ”

After the hunting activity was over, Mu Sheng said goodbye to Gongzi Xiu and returned to the mansion.

Entering the compound, he turned his head and went to Wu Xie's courtyard, and when he saw that he was fine, he was playing chess and drinking tea, or he was pulling Feng Wei to play chess and drink tea.

When Wu Xie saw Mu Sheng coming, he asked him to sit down and play against him, and Mu Sheng played against Wu Xie while discussing the matter with Gongzi Xiu today.

After hearing this, Wu Xie asked Mu Sheng and said, "Childe, has Your Majesty become a monk?" ”

He recalled the scene of the meeting with the emperor and said, "I did feel a hint of a monk in him, but it was not strong, he should have reached the threshold of becoming a monk, but he has not really become a monk yet." ”

Wu Xie bowed his head and said: "Childe, An Guojun's analysis may be reasonable, maybe His Majesty is very likely to really become a monk." ”

Mu Sheng said: "Then what should I do next?" ”

Wu Xie only had one word: "Wait!" ”

"Wait?"

Wu Xie said: "Yes, just one word, wait, don't do anything, wait until the prince can't sit still, your chance will come, now Your Majesty is acting like this, the most difficult thing is His Royal Highness the Prince, An Guojun is right, if Your Majesty really succeeds in becoming a monk, in about 80 years of life, the prince will not be able to ascend the throne in this life." ”

Mu Sheng asked, "Sir, what do you think the prince will do if he can't sit still?" ”

Wu Xie dipped the tea and wrote two words on the table, soldier.

Seeing this, Mu Sheng's face changed slightly: "Will the prince rebel?" ”

Wu Xie said: "The prince may not really dare to do this, but the people around him will definitely not be able to sit still, if the prince has always been the prince, these people may not have a chance to soar in this life, so what's the use of relying on the prince?" I reckon they will force the prince to make this risky move sooner or later. ”

After hearing this, Mu Sheng said to himself: "The so-called wealth and danger are sought? ”

Wu Xie said: "Yes, or there is another possibility, Your Majesty's recent series of operations may be a precursor to the abolition of the crown prince, if Your Majesty is really successful in cultivating, you must remove the potential hidden danger of the prince in advance." ”

Mu Sheng asked, "How likely is it that Your Majesty will depose the crown prince?" ”

Wu Xie shook his head and said: "It is unlikely at present, but this situation cannot be ruled out, now that the right prime minister Cui Yan is just idle at home, and there is no clear will to remove Cui Yan from the position of right prime minister, then Your Majesty will not easily abolish the prince, once Cui Yan officially resigns the prime minister, the prince will be abolished." ”

"I see."
