"Hey, brother, why don't you speak? Are you mute?"
Li Yi said. He dipped his index finger in the tea and wrote a line on the table.
"The Taoist nun is next door. Are you alone?"
Miss.Liu nodded and then pointed to his face.
Li Yi was stunned for a moment, and his eyes widened again.
"Are you really alone?" He mouthed. Miss.Liu nodded and pointed to his face again.
"Ruyi …" Li Yi had just written two words on the table when Miss.Liu nodded slightly and pointed to his face again.
The important thing now was not his face, but how they could escape. Li Yi waved his hand, reached to his ear, touched the edge of the mask, and tore it off.
"Hiss …"
He almost cried out in pain. He covered his burning face with both hands, and tears were about to flow out of his eyes.
"I'm sorry, I didn't know you were mute …"
With tears in his eyes, Li Yi choked with sobs and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I used to have a friend who suffered from aphasia, but he is no longer here. I'm sad and lost my composure. I'm sorry …"
"Wait here. I'll find a way." Second Miss Liu wrote a line of words on the table with tea. She took a deep look at him, turned around, and left.
Li Yi stood up and said, "Brother, hey, brother, don't go. I didn't mean it. I didn't mean to say you were mute!"
Watching Miss.Liu walk out, Li Yi closed the door and sat back at the table.
Miss.Liu actually caught up with him. This was probably the best thing that had happened in recent days.
Although the two of them together were no match for the Taoist nun, they inexplicably felt much more at ease in their hearts.
Of course, if Second Great Uncle wasn't worried about his old arms and legs and could come along, he wouldn't be here right now. Instead, he would be in the room next door, making that Daoist nun kneel down and say that she conquered him.
Every time he woke up, he would silently express his admiration for Second Great Uncle in his heart.
Using cheats wasn't scary. What was scary was using cheats for a lifetime. He looked at the pile of powder on the table and couldn't imagine what kind of realm Second Granduncle had reached.
Having an old man at home was like having a treasure. Calculating it, the old man could still sleep for a few decades. The current him was already terrifying enough. After a few more decades — would he really be able to break through the void with his sleep?
Li Yi picked up his chopsticks. At this time, he no longer felt that the dishes on the table were unpalatable. Soon, he ate them all.
Not long after he put down his chopsticks, there was a knock on the door.
"Little brother, are you here to collect the plates?" Li Yi quickly walked over and opened the door. When he saw Taoist Nun standing outside, he walked straight into the room.
The middle-aged Daoist nun sat on a chair in the room and asked, "Has your hypersomnia not recurred in the past two days?"
Li Yi closed the door and walked over. He said, "It's easy to get sleepy after sitting in the carriage for a long time. I'm much better these days."
"I've long heard that you have a grudge against the King of Shu."
Li Yi waved his hands repeatedly, "It's just a small matter …"
"You're right about one thing. The treatment that the King of Shu has received is indeed not what a Crown Prince should have." The middle-aged Daoist nun looked at him and said, "But don't forget that he is the eldest son. No matter how mediocre he is, he has the Cui family behind him. There are so many big families and so many courtiers. It's reasonable for him to be the Emperor."
"You also know that Emperor Jing doesn't have much time left. This time, the King of Shu has only touched the bottom line of an Emperor. Once Emperor Jing's illness worsens, the King of Shu is bound to be summoned back to the capital city. Have you ever thought about how you and the Li family should behave at that time?"
Of course, Li Yi had thought about this matter.
Because he knew that he and the King of Shu were like fire and water, he had long left a way out for the Li family. That was why he had done so much for the Eldest Princess for free. That was why he had sent the King of Shu out of the capital city. That was why he had caused the King of Shu's faction to be greatly weakened. That was why the King of Shu could only stay in Shuzhou for the rest of his life. Once he left Shuzhou, he would face the pursuit of countless killers.
With the title of the King of Killers, "Killing a person in ten steps and unstoppable in a thousand miles" and the temptation of ten thousand taels of silver, there would always be a lot of people who couldn't resist such a generous treatment.
If ten thousand taels of silver was not enough, then twenty thousand taels of silver.
Whether it was fame or profit, he would definitely satisfy those people.
The Daoist nun said again, "You should know that the day the King of Shu ascends the throne will be the day the Li family is destroyed. Although the Jing Kingdom is big, there is no place for you."
"That's right."
Li Yi nodded. In principle, what the Daoist nun said was not wrong at all.
"Even if you hide in other countries, I don't think you will have a good life." The middle-aged Daoist nun looked at Li Yi and said, "As long as you join the Holy Religion, I can definitely guarantee the safety of you and the Li family. At that time, you can follow the Holy Religion to overthrow the Li family's imperial power. Then, you will be above tens of thousands of people. I have asked you to consider this a long time ago. What do you think now?"
Li Yi sighed and said, "I am not talented and incompetent. I really don't know what I can do for you, Daoist nun."
"You don't have to be modest." The middle-aged Daoist nun shook her head and said, "Among the younger generation of the Qi Kingdom and the Jing Kingdom, the only one who can compare with you is the Third Prince of the Qi Kingdom. You are different from him. In the whole world, you are the only one who can catch my eye."
These words made Li Yi blush a little. Although this Daoist nun was a little bad, her words were rarely to the point. She was also born with a pair of sharp eyes and had once saved him. If it wasn't for the fact that she took advantage of Ruyi's pregnancy and kidnapped him, he might have had a good impression of her …
Unfortunately, he was not interested in rebelling against the old emperor. Moreover, the Holy Religion was a good thing. This Daoist nun was obviously not a good leader. Even the most basic intelligence system was a mess. It was really unbearable …
Li Yi looked at her and asked, "What do you want me to do, Daoist nun?"
The middle-aged Daoist nun said, "Liuli, Tianfa … As long as you do your best for the Holy Religion, I will definitely not mistreat you."
Liuli didn't care. This thing would not be valuable for long. It was estimated that there was already a trend of a blowout. Not long after, not only the Jing Kingdom, but also the Qi Kingdom, the Zhao Kingdom and the Wu Kingdom would not be spared. He had already made arrangements for these things before he left.
Tianfa naturally couldn't be given to him. If this thing were to be spread out and obtained by the Qi Kingdom, the Jing Kingdom would probably be doomed. It would be hard for them to live in the future …
A conflicted expression appeared on Li Yi's face. This Daoist nun was too powerful. Moreover, he was still in her hands. At present, there was no good way to get the Holy Religion into his hands. It was not so easy to change the mind of a fanatic. Tianfa definitely couldn't be given to him …
"Are you worried that I will burn the bridge after crossing the river?" The middle-aged Daoist nun saw his hesitation. She threw a token on the table and said, "Take this token, and you will be the protector of the Holy Religion. Your status will only be below mine. I will give you another half a month to think about it …"
After saying this, the middle-aged Daoist nun glanced at him and directly turned to leave.
Li Yi took out the token and held it in his hand to have a look. It was actually a jade token. It was heavy and felt very good …
According to the man in blue, the Holy Religion had more than 100,000 believers in the Qi Kingdom and the Jing Kingdom. Didn't it mean that with this token, he would be below one person and above tens of thousands of people? It was only below one person and above tens of thousands of people …
If this Daoist nun accidentally walked on the road and was hit by a meteorite or choked to death while eating or drinking, wouldn't he be the new Hierarch?
No, they believed in the Empress. What should he be called? The Heavenly Duke?
No, no, that was too unpleasant to hear. How about calling it the Ming Cult? If it was called the Ming Cult, he would be the Hierarch. Moreover, the name Ming Cult was good for publicity …
"The Sun Moon Cult is accomplished in both literature and martial arts. It will benefit the common people for thousands of generations and unify the martial world!"
"The Sacred Fire of Light shakes the earth and burns away all injustice in the world!"
"The Hierarch will enjoy immortal fortune forever and live as long as the heavens!"
…
…
Listen, listen, this was a professional slogan. Just a few people shouting at the top of their lungs that the Divine Empress had appeared and that the Divine Empress was protecting them. The pretentiousness was immediately lowered. If they wanted to gain believers, shouldn't they first shout the slogan a little louder?
Under the same conditions, if this stall was left to him to manage, it was possible that his believers would already be spread all over the world. With a single call, he would be able to rebel against the old emperor with a wave of his hand. He would be able to blackmail him all day long and find things for him to do …
With this thought, Li Yi's gaze once again turned to the jade token in his hand. The protector of the Cult was full of sincerity!
