Xiao Jinyan was worried about Li Chuntie's safety, and said tentatively, "Dao Chief, the younger generation has something to ask for." ”

Yuxi smiled, "You are the junior brother of Brother Juntie, just call me senior brother." ”

Xiao Jinyan has a request for others, how could he lose his manners here, "Senior brother treats me like a mountain, and now that he is in prison, my heart as a junior brother is anxious, I beg the Taoist chief to help, let me meet with my senior brother." ”

Yuxi looked embarrassed.

This is a matter of losing my head, I wanted to refuse, but I remembered the hexagram that I had just divined, and said, "Dean Li is now locked up in the forbidden army prison in the outer palace, and he is guarded by the masters of the palace, except for His Majesty, no one is allowed to contact him, I am afraid it is a little difficult." ”

Xiao Jinyan was just slamming his luck, revealing a look of disappointment.

Yuxi said again, "However, tonight I want to go to the palace to enter the table and pills for His Majesty, you can bring one person into the outer palace, there is a Dan room over there, which is the place where I preach with Your Majesty, there is no one on weekdays, and it is only a hundred zhang away from the inner prison." It's just that how to get in, you have to figure it out yourself. ”

Xiao Jinyan was grateful, and thanked him again and again, "Xiao Jinyan is grateful, the Taoist chief can rest assured, even if his identity is exposed, he will never have anything to do with the Taoist chief." ”

At night.

Xiao Jinyan put on the mask of the Mo family, changed into a Taoist robe, pretended to be the head of Yuxi Dao, helped him carry the medicine box, and went to the palace.

The guards of the forbidden army all know the head of Yuxi Dao, every time he comes to deliver the pill, he will bring someone with him, after all, someone has to be responsible for carrying things, how can the dignified Ming national teacher do such rough work.

Yuxi entered the palace again, Xiao Jinyan's status was low, and he registered at the door with the name of a Taoist in the National Teacher's Mansion, but he didn't receive too much embarrassment, so he entered the palace together.

The great emperor believes in Taoism, and built an alchemy room in the palace for the national teacher, which is used to refine the elixir of immortality and longevity.

Yuxi changed his clothes, opened the box, took out the pill that had been enshrined, and said to Xiao Jinyan, "Your Majesty will be in the imperial study at this hour every day, you should be careful in your actions, don't startle the snake, if your identity is exposed, just leave." ”

Xiao Jinyan thanked him, sent Yuxi away, and deliberately carried some medicinal materials for alchemy in the courtyard.

The two guards said, "Why haven't I seen you before?"

Xiao Jinyan said, "In the past, I was in charge of the procurement of pills in the Heavenly Master's Mansion, and today I happened to come to the inventory, and there are no medicinal stones to replenish. ”

A guard said, "It turned out to be procurement, and the silver that the inner treasury procured for the Heavenly Master's Mansion for a year is like flowing water, you are a good errand." ”

Xiao Jinyan said with a smile, "Acting faithfully for Your Majesty, how could Your Majesty treat us badly." ”

After that, he took out two silver tickets from his arms and handed them over, "In the future, I will ask the two brothers to carry more." ”

When the guard saw him so upright, he gave him the silver with a slight knock, and immediately smiled, took the silver and said, "It's easy to say, it's easy to say." ”

Xiao Jinyan chatted with the two of them for a while, and said, "I still have to check the medicinal materials in the library, and when the master comes back later, if I am lazy, he will scold me." ”

The two expressed their understanding, walked out of the door, closed the gate, and stood guard outside the door.

Seeing this, Xiao Jinyan took out a black scarf to cover his face, and while the two of them were not paying attention, he jumped out of the alchemy room, and tiptoed to the inner prison according to the explanation of the head of Yuxi Dao.

In the palace, there are masters like clouds.

He didn't dare to be careless, and gently released the force of heaven and earth to sense the situation in the inner prison.

There are two large internal guards at the door, knowing the middle realm. There are four guards under the prison, and the martial arts are close to the general appearance, and the real danger is in a dark room next to the inner cell, in which one person is hidden.

If it weren't for his special string strength, only with ordinary internal force, he wouldn't have sensed the existence of the two at all.

Crash.

Li Chuntie seemed to sense something, and suddenly opened his eyes. His martial arts were banned, but the intuition he had cultivated over the years, as well as his understanding of Xiao Jinyan's true yuan, made him feel inductive.

He didn't want Xiao Jinyan to take risks, but at this moment, he came here, but he couldn't stop it.

As Daoist Yuxi said, the inner prison was heavily guarded, and Xiao Jinyan had no chance to get close at all.

Xiao Jinyan calculated in his heart, the two people at the door, and the four people in the secret passage, there was nothing to worry about, but this was the palace, and it was also a shocking array, as long as he exposed a little behavior, he would immediately fall into a place of no return.

Especially the people in the dark room, I am afraid that martial arts are not under Li Chuntie. It is said that the masters of the world are all used by the royal family, and it is true.

Learn to become a literary and martial artist, and the goods are with the emperor's family.

When martial arts reach the realm of a grandmaster, and you don't want to start a sect, or you don't want to be too quick about revenge, it is the best choice to go to the palace. These people are usually inconspicuous, but they can get the emperor's favor and protect their own people. Because of this, there are many invisible families in the local area, and their power is even stronger than that of the local magistrate and prefecture.

Li Chuntie is in the inner cell.

If he misses this opportunity, he doesn't know if he can wait until next time, so he decides to take a risk.

He picked up a stone and bounced it off the distance.

The guards at the door looked away, Xiao Jinyan released the law space, passed past the two of them at an almost ghostly speed, and then passed the four half-step masters and sneaked into the dark passage.

His gaze was only on the dark room, and the three strings of force were caged into a spherical shape, ensuring that it would not cause the surrounding True Qi to fluctuate.

The man in the dark room stood cross-legged with a sword in front of his desk. He opened his eyes slightly, and his gaze seemed to be able to penetrate the wall.

The walls look at each other.

They were aware of each other's existence, but neither of them took any action.

Deadlocked.

Silent stalemate.

Xiao Jinyan had already raised his string power to the peak, and his divine sense shrouded that person, as long as the other party made a move, he would risk a desperate fight to take that person down.

Although there is no certainty in the heart.

......

The Imperial Study.

Zhu Liye is reviewing the folds.

Although he has long been no longer concerned about the government, the trivial matters in the court have hindered the way of immortality he pursued. However, as the Ninth Five-Year Emperor, the documents drafted by the cabinet every day will still be sent to him before the book.

Whether to see or not to see is his business.

Whether to send it or not is a matter for the cabinet.

I can not watch it, but if you don't send it, it will be a bully. This is the wrist he uses to intimidate his ministers.

There are also some documents, which are secret reports sent by Dengwen Yuan, Jinyiwei and the two factories, including the words and deeds and every move of the hundred officials in Beijing, the feudal kings of various places, and the important ministers on the pastoral side, which he also has to see.

You don't have to look at it all, he doesn't have that kung fu. But before you want to meet someone, you will look at some of them, and then find a few words that are not salty or light, and knock the courtiers.

For example, two days ago, the son of a certain Shangshu's housekeeper in the court was eating an overlord meal in a small restaurant in the capital.

People are doing it, and I'm watching.

Everything about you, I see in my eyes.

This is the message he conveyed to the hundred officials, and this is also his imperial technique.

Gonggong Gao and Daoist Yuxi had already occupied a small half hour in the study, and they didn't dare to move at all, and they didn't have the right to speak before His Majesty spoke.

Zhu Liye's eyes fell on a secret report. The secret report recorded every move, word and deed of Zhao Lanjiang, the king of Yinyang, after he arrived in the capital.

It's not overly out of line.

Xue Huai met him, he already knew, this was originally what he asked Xue Huai to do, firstly, he was old and sophisticated, and he was very accurate in looking at people, so let him try this young man's quality, and secondly, to see if this Hidden Yang King would take the initiative to cling to him and take the opportunity to form a party for personal gain.

Although he was named the King of the Hidden Sun, he was only a supernumerary king. Give him a name, so that he can help him guard the western frontier.

So far, he is still relatively satisfied. Including before, he made Li Chengcheng a marquis under Yinyang City, and he didn't raise any objections.

Being so young and so sophisticated was a bit unexpected to him. This time, taking advantage of his birthday, he was summoned to perform the last test on him.

If we can pass this test, there will be no more war in Western Xinjiang for the next 30 years.

He put down the secret report and asked, "How is the construction of the Hidden Sun Palace?"

Gao Gonggong replied, "Long live, the craftsmen in the city have been busy with the birthday banquet of His Majesty's Wanshou Palace recently, and the news from the Ministry of Industry is that it will take about a month." ”

"Tell the Ministry of Works, give them ten days. No matter what method is used, the palace will be built before the birthday banquet. ”

Gonggong Gao was shocked in his heart, how much blessing this Hidden Sun King had received, His Majesty would say such a thing, but there was no wave on his face, "Obey." ”

He looked at the secret report of the East Factory again, and there was not much difference between it and Jinyiwei, and said, "The king of Yinyang is diligent and diligent, and he appreciates the pair of jade Ruyi." Also, let him come to the palace tomorrow to see me. ”

"Yes. ”

Zhu Liye stood up, stretched his waist, and looked at Yuxi Dao, "What kind of pill has the national teacher refined recently?"

The head of Yuxi Daoist has been standing for a long time, and when he heard the news, he held a jade box and said respectfully, "Forty-nine pills of Baihua Pill are the ones that Your Majesty ordered to reward Pei Niangniang last time, in addition to eighteen pills of Dragon and Tiger Pill and ten pills of Shuntian Pill, all of which are dedicated to Your Majesty." ”

Zhu Liye said with a smile, "Your Shuntian Pill is really good. With that, he opened the box and took out one.

Daoist Yuxi took it and swallowed it in his mouth, "Thank Your Majesty for giving Dan." "This emperor is suspicious by nature, and he will not use this pill if he doesn't see the person who enters the pill taking it in person.

Zhu Liye took out another one, looked at it for a long time, and said, "This Dan is as red as the sunset, as clear as jade, and as loyal as a Taoist." ”

These words, spoken for no reason, made the head of Yuxi Dao shocked. Zhu Liye noticed his situation and asked with a smile, "Could it be that I said something wrong?"

Yuxi Dao Chang said, "Xiaodao can alchemy for Your Majesty, it is the blessing that I have cultivated in Longhu Mountain for eight lifetimes, and it is the heart of the loyal monarch of the entire Longhu Mountain, how dare Xiaodao monopolize it alone." ”

Zhu Liye laughed, "I'm just two sentences of emotion, you don't have to appreciate it." ”

The more this happened, the more frightened Yuxi became.

He has served this emperor for more than 20 years, and he knows exactly when to listen to his words and when to listen to them in reverse.

He threw himself and fell to his knees.

"The grapevine deserves death. ”

Zhu Liye frowned, "What are you guilty of?" Father-in-law Gao, you see, I praised him twice, but he pleaded guilty instead. ”

Gao Gonggong wanted to help Yuxi say two good words, but when he saw that His Majesty seemed to be smiling, this was His Majesty's edge before he became angry, he also trembled and echoed, "Yes...... The emperor's grace, thunder, rain and dew are all blessings, and the head of Yuxi Dao can't help but overreact. ”

"Overreacting?"

Zhu Liye raised his voice and said coldly, "I think it's a thief!"
