Chapter 996 Yuan Rong

Arrange for Taijing and Junior Sister to stay.

The Yanjun Temple was built so huge that two more people were like drops of water falling into the lake without making any waves.

Of course, this move is indeed fishy.

Even Emperor Tang An and Xuan Nan were not accommodated, so how could they allow the brothers and sisters of Taiyi Sect to be accommodated.

However, with Zhang Yajiu's premise, and then Taijing would make a complete show, saying that he was shameless and insisted on staying, he might be able to hide it for a while, so that the monks of the Ancient Immortal Tower would not be suspicious for the time being.

Paper cannot contain fire.

Tu Shanjun didn't think he could keep it secret for long.

As long as the time difference can be used to send Taijing and Junior Sister away in advance, they can deal with Guxianlou and Shangqing Daojun with peace of mind.

Shou He cupped his hands and said, "Old immortal."

"How's the situation at the blacksmith's shop?"

Shou He smiled and said: "With King Hui coming forward, the doubts disappeared without a trace."

Shou He, who had a dark and unremarkable face, mused: "There have been more and more foreigners recently. I also saw two people at Zhang's blacksmith shop. The older one was an elegant young man, carrying a sword box on his back and leading a little girl. I guess he was similar to the Buddhist mage I met that day, and he was kind-hearted."

He had no idea about these disciples. Even though Bu Zanghua had told him something about Middle Earth, it was more like another legendary world to him.

It's impossible to say that I don't yearn for it, but after all, it's so far apart inside and outside, it always feels like reality and not fantasy.

Especially in the dead of night, he couldn't help but start to doubt whether it was true or false.

Which one is true and which one is false.

Either way, it's all true, and it's all false.

No one could explain it clearly for him.

"Are you worried?"

An ethereal and hoarse voice came.

"have."

Shou Hechang sighed, confusion flashed in his eyes, and asked: "Two days ago, I heard the county official say that the court is coping with changes. I am afraid that something big will change. I don't understand, so I asked the county official what it is. If the sky really collapses, where will we...and all the people in Wanning County go?"

The blue-white ghost hand paused slightly.

Where to go?

Tushanjun doesn’t know either.

But this sentence does hit the point.

If Lord Yan Tian gets out of trouble and the forbidden land of the gods collapses, what will these mortals do? Will the Wanfa Sect take over like Xiaodongtian, and then stabilize and continue the old days, or will most of them turn into monks and disperse into the Middle Earth? , or simply live in Yuanyang Region.

Tu Shanjun looked at the capital in the distance, and a strange color flashed in his eyes. The imperial power in the capital was not as unbearable as he imagined, and he said lightly: "The fate is in your own hands."

Shou He looked at the old god who was facing the case in surprise.

He thought the old god would tell him to listen to the princes of the court and the emperor.

In the eyes of the old god, he saw a kind of peace.

Emperors, generals and ordinary people are no different.

Rather, treat both mortals and monks equally.

"When the sky falls, there are tall people who hold it up."

"Do you think you are tall or short?" Tu Shanjun looked at Shou He who lowered his head and pondered.

"I don't know if I'm tall or short, I just think I should try my best."

"What if my best efforts don't work?"

"Then work hard!"

"Isn't it enough to try your best?"

Shou He laughed and said, "Let's wait until the coffin is sealed to make a final decision."

"At least, I should be able to open the first page of the family tree."

"Don't you want to recognize your ancestor and return to your clan?"

Shou He was silent for a while, then slowly said: "Which ancestor should I recognize and which sect should I belong to?"

…

"My lord, I wish you the best of greetings!"

A slightly dark and thin official in court uniform knelt on the ground.

Salute respectfully.

The whole set of etiquette leaves no room for fault.

However, it is obvious that the official uniform he wears can save him from such cumbersome matters. The blue official robe is enough to prove this person's important position in the court.

"I am safe."

The middle-aged man sitting on the dragon chair behind the bead curtain has a loud and energetic voice.

"I love your life."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Take a seat."

The little eunuch hurriedly moved a chair for the official.

The official sat down next to his buttocks.

He didn't know what His Majesty meant by calling him into the palace. If ministers came to discuss matters, he, the third-rank Minister of Rites, was said to be the second-in-command, but in fact he was far from the real core.

He didn't dare to ask, so he waited anxiously and with doubts.

The curtain was opened by the eunuch.

The true appearance of the middle-aged man sitting on the dragon throne is revealed.

The official quickly bowed his head.

The middle-aged man on the dragon throne is the current emperor Yuanrong.

The capital of Yuanrong, dragon and phoenix.

A pair of sharp eyes are like the upright eyes of a dragon beast, with a short beard, and he looks quite young.

For warriors, those who make progress in practice will have their lifespan extended. It is said that top-notch Qi and blood warriors can live for two hundred years without dying.

Yuan Rong asked with a smile: "I heard that Shou Aiqing has a half-brother who works in Wanning County."

Shoucheng was suddenly shocked.

As for the brother he had never met before, he would do whatever he could to distance himself from him.

If the old man hadn't insisted on meeting him before leaving, he probably wouldn't have sent anyone to look for him.

Fortunately, the other party has a good reputation in the world, and he found him quickly.

Then the old man in the family arranged for a capture commander from Wanning County.

He is an official, neither big nor small.

That man is a man who knows the current affairs. He has never been to Shou Mansion since that time.

Shoucheng is still very satisfied with this.

Although this person is a gangster, he is not a fool, nor a rogue who insists on sticking to them.

He got what he deserved and never came again. He still has backbone.

"Your Majesty, that's right."

Shou Cheng didn't dare to hide it and admitted it with his hands.

"I dare not be ignorant of state affairs, family affairs, and world affairs."

Yuan Rong smiled and put away the arc of his mouth, and said calmly: "The people of the Shou family are all loyal ministers. Wanning County is peaceful and stable under his governance. He is a rare talent. If I were not so busy, I would really like to meet him."

Shou Cheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He thought that the man had done something big that alarmed His Majesty.

I heard that the man's strength is good and he is the top in the world, but even with such strength, he can't compare with the court.

Any master of the palace can stir up a bloody storm in the world.

Since it is not a wrong thing, Shou Cheng has a bottom line in his heart and his words are not so empty.

"It is the duty of a minister to be loyal to His Majesty."

"I heard that my brother built a temple in Xishan."

"That's true."

"The temple keeper has a good personal relationship with Shou He."

Shou Cheng frowned slightly.

Is he wrong?

Yuan Rong ignored Shou Cheng's deep thoughts and changing expressions, and continued: "The temple keeper is a monk from outside the country."

"I think the third child has some talent, and I want to send him to the temple to learn some skills."

Shou Cheng's eyes stagnated, and he was full of doubts. Since it was the temple built by King Hui, why didn't His Majesty use King Hui's relationship, but let him come forward?

And foreign monks are very rare in the eyes of the people, but in fact there are many in the palace, and there are also many monks in the major royal palaces.

It's not easy for these little princes to find someone to learn Taoism.

He couldn't ask.

The more he knew about the considerations, the more troublesome it would be.

It's just to squeeze someone in.

"I will do my best."

Shou Cheng saluted again.

"I'm waiting for your good news."

...

Send Shoucheng away.

A young child walked out from the side and bowed, saying: "Father, I have the tutor to teach me. The monks in the temple are definitely not as good as the tutor."

Yuan Rong looked at the ambitious child, smiled and shook his head, saying: "You guessed wrong this time. The master that father found for you is extraordinary. As the temple priest, he has the best chance to contact the temple owner."

"Do you know who is enshrined in the temple?"

"I don't know."

"The temple enshrines this piece of God."

Yuan Rong did not explain anything for his son.

He carefully selected the third child, and he himself was not sure that he would succeed, but as long as this signal was passed on, it would be enough.

...

Shoucheng didn't know how he walked out of the palace.

He went in and came back in a daze.

Sitting in the sedan chair and returning to the mansion, Shoucheng thought about it, and he really couldn't figure out the purpose of His Majesty.

"Master."

"Your Majesty invites you to the palace so late?"

"Yes."

Shou Cheng sat down and drank a sip of tea. Seeing that it was dusk, he stood up and changed his court clothes into casual clothes. He said, "Prepare some gifts for me. I want to visit someone."

"Who?"

"Is he a high-ranking official or a low-ranking official?"

Shou Cheng said, "The old man's son."

"Your half-brother?"

"Yes."

"Why are you meeting him? Has he committed a crime?"

"No, women should not get involved. This time, I have a big request." Shou Cheng immediately understood his family's attitude towards his elder brother when he heard his wife say this, and hurriedly gave her a warning.

This time, His Majesty entrusted him with the task. If he messed up, he would probably have to stay in this position for the rest of his life.

"Don't ask too much. Do it quickly."

Shou Cheng's wife saw the seriousness of the problem and hurried to prepare.

Shou Cheng took the gifts and got on the carriage.

…

"General, there is someone at the door asking to see you."

Shou He, who was packing up, was stunned for a moment and asked, "Who is it?"

Xiao Huzi shook his head slightly: "His manager insisted on seeing you."

"I think the carriage is either rich or noble, and there must be an important person sitting inside."

"Is it an important person?"

Shou He looked suspicious. He didn't seem to know any important person, but since the person had come to the door, he couldn't refuse. He raised his head and said, "Please let him in."

Putting down the things in his hands and the Blood God Halberd that he had already carried, Shou He sat back in the commander's seat.

He was flipping through the documents that had been revised when he saw a tall, thin middle-aged man stepping into the door.

When he saw the other person, Shou He was a little dazed. He seemed to see someone.

He immediately knew the other person's identity.

So he stood up and said, "Sir Shou."

The man was Shou Cheng, who smiled and said, "You and I are half-brothers, brothers, so why should we be so polite? Otherwise, I would have to bow and call you Marshal."

"I don't deserve it."

Shou He looked like a business person and said calmly, "I don't know what it is that requires you to come in person."

Later.
