Chapter 353: Soul Snatcher Gu (Fourth Update)
"If only you could think so. The emperor smiled and nodded, "Lin Aiqing, this time, I'm going to bother you again!"
"This is a matter within the responsibility of the ministers!" Lin Xiao said righteously.
"Youqing is like this, it is really a blessing for me, and it is a blessing for the society of the country!" the emperor said cheerfully.
Lin Xiao was a little embarrassed by what the emperor said, but the purpose in his heart was not pure, if he really did it because of loyalty, he would be able to accept this sentence. It's a pity that he isn't, he does it all to complete the task, if there is no task, who will sit in this country!
"Your Majesty, then Weichen will go down to prepare, and when the time comes, please ask the emperor to listen to Weichen's arrangement!" Lin Xiao said.
Let the emperor listen to the arrangement of a courtier, Lin Xiao dared to say this so bluntly, and the emperor would not be angry, this is still a different person, the emperor will definitely not be happy if he doesn't say it.
"Well, my life can be handed over to Aiqing!" the emperor nodded and said.
In fact, from the title, you can see the change in the emperor's attitude towards Lin Xiao. From not knowing each other at the beginning, to calling Lin Xiao Lin Qing's family later, to now even the surname is exempted, and he is directly called 'Aiqing', which shows the change of attitude.
This is on the other ministers, and I am afraid that they will already be happy. But Lin Xiao turned a blind eye and didn't take the emperor's closeness seriously at all.
Leaving the imperial study, Lin Xiao immediately returned to the six doors and told Lu Xiaofeng the good news.
Lin Xiao, Jihua, didn't plan to let other catchers participate, and he didn't even inform them of the cold-blooded ones. In order not to let the news leak out, you must know that there are many people, and the more people who know a secret, the less it can be called a secret.
Can you promise that you don't say it, you can promise that the other person won't say it, but can you promise that the third person won't say it? Can you promise that the fourth person won't say it?
You can't guarantee it!
You can't even guarantee that you won't say it. And how can you vouch for someone else?
So at present, the people who know about this matter are limited to Lin Xiao himself, as well as Lu Xiaofeng and Tie Feihua. And in the palace, the only people who know about it are the emperor and the national teacher Huang Shang.
Only the six of them knew about this matter, and the six of them were also participants in this matter, so Lin Xiao would naturally take them to participate in this matter at that time.
Needless to say, the emperor is the most enemy target, and without him, these things would not have been possible.
And the national teacher was also invited by Lin Xiao to participate in this matter, hiding by the emperor's side as a protector.
As for Lin Xiao, the three of them. At that time, they will be dressed as guards in the palace to guard outside, and if there is any trouble, they can immediately go in to help.
At that time, even if Na Zhu ignored and invited more masters, Lin Xiao believed that they would be able to handle it!
With such a comprehensive measure, if something happens to the emperor again, it will be too undeserved. However, Lin Xiao was also prepared for the worst, and even Jihua had already thought about how to deal with it later.
Time, just wait for the ancestor worship ceremony in seven days!
......
Seven days can be said to have passed in the blink of an eye.
This day is the day of the ancestor worship ceremony, and the emperor has been fasting and bathing since last night. Shut yourself in a special room and wait for the ancestor worship ceremony to begin.
There is only one emperor in the huge room, but there is still a national teacher hidden in the dark.
With the means of the national teacher, he wanted to hide it. Even if the other Nine Great Masters of the world were there, it would be impossible to find him. This is the means of the national teacher, although his strength is not the strongest among the top ten masters in the world, but in terms of miscellaneous studies, he is the most extensive one.
And outside. It was guarded by Lin Xiao and their pretended guards, in addition to Lin Xiao, Lu Xiaofeng, Tie Feihua and Sikong Xingxing, they also invited Ximen to blow the snow.
As for Li Xunhuan. But he had already left the capital to do his own business before he found out about this, and at that time Lin Xiao was still in a coma, and he didn't even have time to say anything to him.
Lin Xiao and the other pretending guards were mixed in the real guards, although each of them had a distinct temperament, it was not a problem to deliberately want to hide it in the crowd.
This time, Lin Xiao deliberately sent a lot of guards to guard here, it seemed that their task was to protect the emperor's safety, but in fact, their task was to help Lin Xiao and them hide their identities more holy.
As for protecting the emperor's safety, forget it, with their manpower, it is not enough for the sunflower father-in-law to kill two or three times.
Time passed little by little, and the sun gradually began to rise in the east. Seeing that the ancestor worship ceremony was about to start in half a pillar of incense, at this moment, a wave of maids who brought hot water to the emperor also came.
"zhanzhu, check them one by one!"
Lin Xiao mingled among the guards and began to check the hot water in the hands of those palace maids. In fact, it was not he who was in charge of the inspection, after all, he did not have the kind of knowledge and sharp eyes to see if there was something else in the hot water.
The real complicated inspection of hot water is actually Cai'er hiding in his arms.
"This pot is fine. ”
Lin Xiao nodded slightly, and then walked to the next palace maid.
"It's okay with this pot!"
Seven or eight palace maids were inspected in a row, and there was no problem with the hot water in their hands, but when Lin Xiao checked the ninth palace maid, Cai'er finally found something.
"There's something in this basin of hot water, I'm looking at it!"
Lin Xiao stood still, the expression of the palace maid in front of him was too natural, Lin Xiao didn't know if she was superb in acting, or did she not know that there was something wrong with her hot water at all?
But think about it should be the latter, after all, these palace maids are only responsible for delivering hot water, and before they handle it, there are still people who are responsible for boiling hot water, and these people are either others, or those eunuchs who are missing their bodies.
"I know, there are actually a few Soul Snatchers in here!" Cai'er's voice sounded in Lin Xiao's mind.
Lin Xiao nodded imperceptibly, but said in his mouth: "Go over." ”
The palace maid nodded naturally, and followed the palace maids in front of her.
Lin Xiao took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, secretly walked to the window, and whispered inside: "National teacher, there is a problem with the hot water in the hands of the ninth palace maid, don't pour it into the pool!"
His voice was so small that ordinary people couldn't hear what he was saying even when they stood beside him.
But the national teacher hidden in the dark in the room could hear it clearly.
"This Lin Xiao's ability is not small!" Huang Sheng nodded slightly, his eyes had already locked on the ninth palace maid who came in, and then told the emperor about the situation through the means of transmitting the sound into the secret.
"You all lay it down and leave. The emperor, who was really immersed in the pool, suddenly spoke.
The palace maids in front of them who had already poured hot water into the pool didn't think about it, but the palace maids in the back were a little puzzled.
Of course, they would never dare to question the emperor's decision, so they put down the basins in their hands one by one, and then left the room one by one.
On the other side, in a corner of a wall a few hundred meters away, a pair of gloomy eyes were observing the situation over there, and when he saw that the ninth palace maid had successfully passed the inspection of the guards, he left here with a smile and reported to his master.
If he could stay a little longer at this time, he might have doubts when he saw those palace maids not wearing empty basins. Even if he can't guess something, when he tells this information to his master, his master will guess something.
But alas, he did not stay, but when he saw the maid enter, he was anxious to report the good news to his master.
After all the palace maids left and the door was closed again, the national teacher appeared next to the pool.
"National teacher!" the emperor walked out of the pool, and it turned out that he was wearing pants underneath.
If he was alone, it would be impossible to take a bath in his pants, after all, it would be very uncomfortable. But he knew that there was still a national teacher here, so he couldn't let him be naked, right?
The national teacher nodded at the emperor, then walked to the side and took out one from the pair of basins.
"Lin Xiao's kid said that there is a problem with this basin of water, I want to see what is wrong with it!" The national teacher carefully observed the basin of water in front of him, and the emperor also came over curiously and observed with him.
With the emperor's vision and knowledge, he still can't see what is wrong in this water. But the national teacher on the side is different, when he wrote the martial arts work of the Nine Yin True Scripture, he had already read most of the books in the world today, and he himself had been to many places and seen too many magical things.
After observing it for about a cup of tea, and the effect of taking out some medicinal powder and sprinkling it inside, he finally found something.
"It's a Gu worm!" the national teacher said with a solemn face, "This should be a very powerful Gu among Gu worms, what it is is not clear for the time being, but don't touch this thing, if you touch that Gu worm may enter your body at any time!"
When the national teacher said this, the hand that the emperor originally wanted to stretch out was immediately retracted in fright.
"It's a Gu worm again!" The emperor said with an ugly face, "Last time it was also a Gu worm, and this time it was a Gu worm, could it be that Uncle Huang had colluded with the people in southern Xinjiang?"
Gu raising has always been a kind of jishu that is not spread by the Miao people in southern Xinjiang. The Gu raised by the Miao people are the most vicious creatures in the world today, they have countless incredible abilities, and they make people die, which is just the most ordinary and ordinary one of them.
If it weren't for the fact that he had a very good relationship with the people of the Miao nationality, it would be difficult for outsiders to get some high-level Gu worms, which is no wonder the emperor would be so suspicious
