Chapter 790

Tianji and Tianshu looked at each other and knelt down. "Your Majesty, please forgive us. We failed to get the lotus seeds."

The smile on Emperor Yuan Jing's face gradually disappeared, and his expression became solemn.

He said slowly, "Twenty cannons, twenty-six masters, and two of you at the Fourth Stage. The Taoists of the Earth Sect cooperated with you. I'll give you a chance to explain. If there's a reason for this, I can forgive you. "

Tianji turned to look at his companions and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, this time the Sword Province is in chaos. Apart from us and the Earth Sect, almost all the masters of the Wulin League have come out to fight for the lotus seeds."

The Yuanjing Emperor was expressionless. "So, we lost to the Wulin League?"

Tianji felt a chill down his spine and hurriedly said, "

"It's not the Martial Union. The Earth Sect's Daoist who is harboring the Nine-colored Lotus invited a few helpers. They are the Heaven Sect's Saintess, Li Miaozhen, the former Silver Gong, Xu Qi 'an, an in-name disciple of the Human Sect, Chu Yuanzhen, the Imperial Astronomer, Yang Qianhuan, a monk, and a little girl from the Southern Border's Power Gu Tribe …"

The silent female secret agent, Tianshu, keenly noticed that His Majesty suddenly became a little anxious when he heard the name "Xu Qi'an".

She didn't look up, but she could guess that His Majesty's face must be very dark now.

The Yuanjing Emperor's face was not only dark, but also gloomy. The blue veins on his forehead were slightly bulging, and he seemed to be trying to suppress his anger.

"Who would have thought that an insignificant person back then would turn into a dog that bites people now."

The Yuanjing Emperor squeezed out a sneer from his teeth. "I just issued an edict to punish myself. I thought I would settle the score with him after the storm. The whole Xu family is in the capital. Let's see how I deal with him. "

After a pause, he asked, "Go on."

Tianji told him everything he had seen and heard, including the conflict between the mysterious playboy and Xu Qi'an. Of course, his opinion was that the mysterious playboy was a direct descendant of some force. He was jealous of Xu Qi'an's reputation and wanted to use Xu Qi'an as a stepping stone.

This was logical.

"How did Xu Qi'an get involved with the Taoists of the Earth Sect?" The Yuanjing Emperor suddenly asked.

"I haven't had the time to investigate," Tianji reported. Seeing that Emperor Yuan Jing had regained his silence, he skipped over this topic and continued to speak.

"How did the Master get involved? How could he summon the Master? How did he summon the Master? How did he summon the Imperial Master …" Tianji. The Yuanjing Emperor continued. Tianji Imperial Emperor's face.

"How did the Imperial Master get involved? How did he summon the Imperial Master? How did he summon the Imperial Master …"

The Yuanjing Emperor paced back and forth in the imperial study. His expression was sometimes ferocious and sometimes gloomy.

Why did the Imperial Master respond to Xu Qi'an's request for help? When did the two of them get involved?

An indescribable emotion welled up in his heart. The Yuanjing Emperor's expression suddenly turned ferocious. He wanted to get rid of Xu Qi'an immediately. He wanted to kill this vicious dog that bit people.

He didn't care about his edict, the opinions of the officials, the opinions of the people …

It wasn't because he was afraid of the speed of his growth. The Yuanjing Emperor had seen many talented people. Chu Yuanzhen was one of them. However, the Yuanjing Emperor didn't even care.

It was because Xu Qi'an had asked for help from the Imperial Master. The Imperial Master responded!

"Let's go to Lingbao Temple!" The Yuanjing Emperor said word by word.

…

Lofty Spirit Building.

Xu Qi'an was wearing a sky blue brocade robe. It was embroidered with a light blue cloud pattern. He had a jingling ring. His hair was tied up with a hollow golden crown. He wore cloud-covered boots.

At first glance, he looked even more noble than the princes. He was tall and straight. He was handsome. His eyes were deep and full of spirit. Between his eyebrows, he had a unique temperament that was a mix of a noble young master from an aristocratic family and a frivolous young man from the marketplace.

Wei Yuan looked at the young man sitting in front of him. He had a sudden realization. He smiled and said, "I'm used to seeing you wearing the night watchman's uniform. You change your attire occasionally. It's really eye-catching."

"My sister made it for me. Stitch by stitch."

Xu Qi'an held the teacup. He recalled Xu Ling Yue's infatuated gaze. He smiled and said, "Duke Wei, do you think there's any hope for me to hook up with Her Highness Huaiqing with my current appearance?"

Wei Yuan looked at him calmly. His eyes contained the vicissitudes of time. "This is not your usual style of speaking. If you have something to say, just say it."

"When I was investigating the Concubine Fu case, I learned from the Imperial Uncle that Duke Wei and the Empress were childhood sweethearts. He regarded Huaiqing as his own. I thought that if I could become the Emperor's son-in-law, Duke Wei would certainly treat me as his son-in-law."

Xu Qi'an smiled and said, "Duke Wei treated me very well. My kindness was as heavy as a mountain. I had no relatives or friends, but he cultivated me with great care. Just because of the three tests of questioning the heart …"

Wei Yuan's expression was gentle. "You seem to have gained something extra from this trip to Jianzhou."

Xu Qi'an put down the teacup. He took out three dice from his sleeve. He placed them on the table one by one. He said softly,

"In my hometown … Well, when I was a fast hand in Changle County, I learned a drinking game from the people in the marketplace. It's called Truth or Dare.

"Based on the number of points on the dice, if the number is small, you either have to answer a question or drink a cup of wine. This commoner wants to play this game with Duke Wei. We don't drink, we only speak the truth. "

He looked at Qingyi calmly. "If Duke Wei isn't willing, f * ck … I'll leave now. From now on, I won't disturb you anymore. "

This time, there was no smile on Wei Yuan's face. He stared at him for a very long time.

"Have you thought it through?"

"Yes."

Wei Qingyi nodded. She raised her hand that was hidden in her sleeve and made a gesture of invitation.

"Phew …" Xu Qi'an breathed a sigh of relief, but he couldn't help feeling nervous.

He grabbed the teacup and gently wiped it. The three dice were rolled into the cup. Dang dang dang! The dice collided and spun in the teacup. As Xu Qi'an pushed it down, everything returned to normal.

He opened the teacup. Six, six, six!

"I knew it. With my luck, the dice are invincible in the world. Especially when the jade given by the Supervisor cracked and my luck leaked …" Xu Qi'an thought.

Wei Yuan picked up the teacup, then wiped it, shook it for a moment, and put the teacup upside down on the table. He didn't keep them guessing and directly opened it.

Two, five, six.

He smiled gently. "What do you want to ask?"

Xu Qi'an pondered. "What's your relationship with Her Majesty the Empress?"

The reason he chose this question was not just for gossip. First of all, the relationship between Wei Yuan and the Empress determined the degree of hostility between Wei Yuan and the Yuanjing Emperor.

Secondly, Lin 'an's biological mother, Concubine Chen, was a spy of the mysterious warlock. The relationship between the Empress and Wei Yuan determined whether the mysterious warlock would repeat the same trick and set up a trap through the Empress to frame Wei Yuan.

Finally, based on his intuition, Xu Qi'an believed that the relationship between the Empress and Wei Yuan was not simple.

"You know a lot."

Wei Yuan put away his gentle expression. His pupils, which contained vicissitudes of life, sharpened a little. He stared intently for a moment and said, "I will tell you about me and the Empress later, but not now. Oh, you didn't say that you would say it now. "

"It's no fun to exploit this loophole …" Xu Qi'an nodded. "Okay."

Wei Yuan's words, in fact, indirectly admitted that his relationship with the Empress was not ordinary, which was also an answer.

In the second round, Xu Qi'an got six, six, six again, and Wei Yuan got five, five, five, five.

Xu Qi'an looked down at the dice in front of Wei Yuan. He paused for a moment and slowly moved his eyes up to stare at him. "Duke Wei, do you know what secrets are hidden behind the Battle of Shanhaiguan?"

Wei Yuan said lightly, "If you are talking about stealing Daibun's fate, then I know."

He really knows about the secret of Daibun's fate being stolen … Xu Qi'an was just about to be surprised, but he forcefully suppressed it, and his face was calm.

Wei Yuan looked down and said, "Every time there is a war, it is when the fate of the country is shaken. If we win, the fate of the country will increase, if we lose, the fate of the country will decrease.

"The bigger the scale of the war, the more the fate of the country will be shaken. In the middle of the Zhou Dynasty, the vassals rebelled, and the rebel army attacked the capital of the Zhou Dynasty. History records that the people of that time were uncertain, and the scholar-officials were anxious.

"Although the rebellion was quelled, it became the turning point of the Zhou Dynasty's decline. The Battle of Shanhai Pass was a chaotic battle between various countries, and the total number of troops involved exceeded a million. The scale of the war was so large that it was rarely seen in history books. The intensity of the shaking of the country must have been far greater than when Emperor Wuzong purged the Emperor's side.

"To steal fate, the Battle of Shanhaiguan was the best opportunity. Unfortunately, I didn't realize this until later. "

The troops Wei Yuan was referring to were more than a million, and they were the real elite soldiers, not including the militia and odd-job workers. In the history books, there were often descriptions of 100,000 troops going to war, 300,000 troops going to war, and so on.

But in fact, it was very exaggerated, including the logistics militia. The number of soldiers who actually fought on the battlefield might not even be one-third of the total number.

In the Battle of Shanhaiguan, Daibun, the Buddhist Nation, the Northern and Southern Barbarians, the Demon Race, and the Witchcraft Cult had invested more than a million elite soldiers who could really fight on the battlefield.

No wonder the first generation and the former leader of the Heaven Venom Division planned such a war. It was to pry open the legitimate dynasty of the Central Plains, and Daibun's fate … Xu Qi'an suddenly understood.

Although he knew that Daibun's fate was stolen in the Battle of Shanhaiguan, he did not understand the logic of the Central Plains.

The third round.

Xu Qi'an's luck was off the charts, and he shook 666 again. But this time, the situation was different. When Wei Yuan lifted the lid of the teacup, it was also 666.

"How rare!"

Wei Yuan smiled and said, "Why don't we each ask a question?"

Xu Qi'an nodded in agreement, and he took the lead to ask his own question. "Duke Wei, do you know who the person who stole the fate is? What's their purpose? "

Wei Yuan shook his head. "Among the major systems, only the Warlocks and the Confucians are closely related to fate. Renzong can be considered half of them. And the only ones who can pry open the fate of a country are the Warlocks and the Confucians.

"In the current Confucian system, the person with the highest rank is the Dean of Yunlu Academy, Zhao Shou. He wants to pry open the fate of Daibun, but he is still a little short of it. So, it can only be the Warlocks.

"The Warlocks can hide from the heavenly secrets, so how can I know who it is? Even if I knew, I would have long 'forgotten' about it. "

Xu Qi'an took a deep breath. "It's the Initial Supervisor."

After saying that, he stared at Wei Yuan without blinking, expecting to see a "drastic change in expression" in his eyes.

Sure enough, Wei Yuan's eyes suddenly darkened, and his fingers on the table trembled slightly.

He stared at Xu Qi'an, and his body leaned forward uncontrollably. His tone was slightly hurried. "Speak clearly, what do you know, what information do you have?"

Xu Qi'an said, "Duke Wei, is this your question?"

Unexpectedly, Wei Yuan shook his head, restrained his emotions, and resumed his calm demeanor.

Wei Qingyi shook her head and asked gently, "My question is: The Sealed Artifact under Sampo is in your body, right?"

A bolt from the blue.

…

Lingbao Temple.

The Yuanjing Emperor sat in the familiar quiet room, looking at the flawless beauty in front of him. Luo Yuheng was one of the most attractive women he had ever seen.

No matter how his mood changed, or how his preference for women changed, Luo Yuheng could always satisfy his taste, and he would not get tired of it.

Although this woman had never agreed to dual cultivate with him, in the heart of the Yuanjing Emperor, she was already his exclusive property.

What's more, he still had to rely on this woman to realize his dream of immortality.

Therefore, any man who was intimate with Luo Yuheng was not allowed.

She can disregard me, she can brush me off, she can evade me, it doesn't matter. But if she shows interest in other men, she will take special care of them.

That man, only death awaited him.

The Yuanjing Emperor was full of murderous intent towards Xu Qi'an. Even if the incident of the Guilty Edict had not passed, he would still have countless ways to deal with Xu Qi'an.

Was it difficult for the Emperor to deal with an ordinary man?

Not at all.

The reason why the Yuanjing Emperor ignored him and allowed him to do whatever he wanted was because he had never treated him as an opponent. His enemies were the officials in the court, the Supervisor, and Zhao Shou.

Xu Qi'an was just a pawn in the storm.

Even now, he did not treat Xu Qi'an as an enemy. He wanted to settle the score after the storm had passed.

He did not expect this dog to bite something it should not have bitten.

Therefore, even if he had to pay a price, he had to kill this dog.

The Yuanjing Emperor stared at the female Imperial Tutor and said in a low voice, "I heard from Duke Huai's secret agent that the Imperial Tutor also interfered in the Jian Province?"

Luo Yuheng, whose face was as white as a flawless jade, nodded slightly.

"Why did the Imperial Tutor interfere in this matter?" The Yuanjing Emperor asked.

"The Nine Colored Lotus is the treasure of our Dao Sect, how can we allow outsiders to covet it," Luo Yuheng opened her red lips and said in a cold voice, "On the other hand, Your Majesty, why do you want to steal the lotus seed?"

The Yuanjing Emperor explained patiently, "I am not talented in cultivation and have not been able to form my Gold Core for a long time. I was very anxious because I found out that the Nine Colored Lotus can enlighten people. "

After he finished speaking, he saw Luo Yuheng nod his head, accepting his explanation. He suddenly smiled and spoke in a relaxed manner, as if he was just having a casual chat.

"I heard that Xu Qi'an burned his talisman and summoned the Imperial Tutor. Heh, I actually admire him. He is talented, ambitious, and has a sense of justice. However, he is too young and does not know how to look at the big picture.

"He still needs a few more years of training. This time, he was demoted to a commoner to train his character. However, I did not expect him to have such a relationship with the Imperial Tutor. "

Luo Yuheng frowned and said in a cold tone, "He is just an ordinary man. What relationship does he have with me?"

The Yuanjing Emperor's eyes flashed and he quickly asked, "If that is the case, how did he summon the Imperial Tutor?"
