When it was, Cui Geng was extremely remorseful.

When it was, Xuan Jizi laughed heartily.

When it was, Song Xueer's mood fell to the bottom.

But at this critical juncture

"Don't move! Move again, the old man wants your life! ”

Suddenly, the figure flashed, and there was a tall old man, who climbed through the window and entered, and a sword came westward, and crossed the neck of the mysterious man.

The whole process takes place between the lightning and flint, and it is extremely fast, showing that the person who came is extremely clever to martial arts!

Cui Geng couldn't believe his eyes, and said, "Senior Chai, is it you?" ”

"Yes, it's the old man." The wall dragon Chai Yunru turned his head and smiled, and said, "Cui boy, don't come to harm?" ”

Cui Geng smiled bitterly: "Look at my current appearance, can you be called unharmed?" That's right...... How did you come here by such a coincidence? ”

Chai Yunrui said: "What's the coincidence? Didn't you ask Xiufang to find an old man to come to Luoyang? ”

Cui Geng then thought that half a year ago, he was entrusted by Gongsun Youniang to find a way to save her master Pei. I think this matter is mainly caused by the wall dragon, and the bell must be tied to the bell person, and it is best for the wall dragon to ask Wu Zetian and let Pei go. So, he asked Cui Xiufang to find out the whereabouts of the wall dragon. Count the days, and it is indeed time for him to come.

"I see!" Cui Gengdao; "You have already arrived in Luoyang, so you and Xiufang have discussed, one will come with me to explore the Peach Blossom Temple, and the other will respond outside?"

"Indeed!"

Let's click~~

As he spoke, Chai Yunrui bent down and twisted his big hand. In the burst of crying father and mother, the joints of the limbs of the mysterious machine have all been removed by him.

There was such a big commotion here, of course, it couldn't hide it from the other Taoist priests in the temple. However, this mystery was very clever, and immediately ordered them not to act rashly, and they all went back to their rooms. Otherwise, it is to deceive the teacher and destroy the ancestors, and to be the enemy of himself.

Chai Yunrui praised: "Okay, I know the current affairs." Xuanjizi, what is your origin, don't come quickly. ”

"What is the origin, old man, you don't have to ask so clearly, right?"

Now, Xuan Jizi has hardened up again, and said: "Okay, poor Dao admits that I was planted today." But, so what? What can you do to me? If you move me, you just don't give your majesty face. Can you afford the consequences? Why don't we each take a step back, as if today's event has never happened? ”

Chai Yunrui was so angry with him, and said viciously: "Just act as if nothing happened?" You think beautifully! Tell you, don't be afraid of losing Your Majesty's face, I'm not afraid! Believe it or not, the old man was angry and killed you directly?

Of course, Xuan Jizi understood what the wall dragon was about, and said in horror: "What? Are you the wall dragon Chai Yunrui? Then they are ......"

Cui Geng said: "I am Cui Geng, the deposed envoy of Jiannan Province, on the order of the prince, secretly entered Beijing, under the pseudonym Wei Ying. By mistake, he became Zhang Changzong's confidant, the official to Shangshu Zuo Shilangzhong. ”

"It turns out that you are Cui Qingtian, Cui Feijiang! I said it earlier, I confessed, I will confess everything! ”

After hearing Cui Geng's name, Xuanjizi was slightly stunned at first, and immediately turned into a soft-footed shrimp.

It's not that Cui Geng's reputation is really to the extent that he can bow his head and bow down, but that this mysterious person is too smart.

He immediately thought that after Cui Geng told him such a big secret, if he made him feel a little unreliable, he was afraid that he would kill people next. At this time, there can be no ambiguity.

Then, Xuan Jizi took out the antidote and gave it to everyone, and Cui Geng and the others quickly returned to normal.

Cui Geng was very satisfied with his performance, and said: "Okay, the one who knows the times is Junjie, hurry up and tell me where you come from." ”

"Actually, what I told you in the lower plain is nine true and one false. I am really a Taoist priest, the Taoist name is Xuanjizi, and the common name is Yang Yuansi. My senior brother is called Xuanmizi, a common name, called ...... Hu Chao! ”

Hu Chao?

When Cui Geng heard this, his heart "chuckled" for a moment, and said, "Hu Chao? Which Hu Chao? ”

"It's Hu Chao, the national teacher of my Great Zhou today."

"Isn't he a monk?"

Xuan Jizi smiled bitterly: "If he hadn't covered up his eyes and ears and shaved his rank as a monk, he wouldn't have been able to stay by His Majesty's side justifiably." Wouldn't that be tantamount to telling everyone that His Majesty's so-called reincarnation of the Pure Light Heavenly Maiden is fake? ”

Seeing that everyone was still a little dazed, he added: "Let's put it this way, Hu Chao is a fake monk and a real Taoist. God knows this, you know it, I know it, Your Majesty knows it, but the courtiers don't know it. ”

Cui Geng suddenly thought that at the beginning of the Golden Palace, Hu Chao's performance did not look like a serious monk. If you interpret him as a Taoist priest with a shaved head, it really makes sense.

However, there is another thing that is quite strange.

Cui Geng groaned: "You keep saying that Hu Chao is your senior brother, how do you look at the age, it seems that he is much younger than you?" ”

Xuan Jizi was also single, and said directly: "It's not a secret, it's disguised below." ”

"Huh?"

Only then did Cui Geng find Qing Shui and other things, and asked Chai Yunrui to connect the joints of Xuanjizi and order him to restore his original appearance.

In a moment, a middle-aged man who was less than forty years old appeared in front of everyone.

Cui Geng nodded and said, "I see." Originally, the official was very strange, how could an old Taoist priest in his seventies and eighties have such a big color heart? ”

After a pause, he asked again: "By the way, who is the person who introduced your senior brother to His Majesty?" ”

Xuanjizi said: "Liang Wang Wu thinks twice." Originally, the two of us were two wild Taoist priests, who knew a few unique illusions, and they were also well-known in the rivers and lakes. Later, we were recruited by Wu Sansi to work for him. Senior brother was recommended by him to His Majesty, and I ......"

"What's wrong with you?"

Xuan Jizi gritted his teeth, was ruthless, and said, "Okay, it's nothing to say this." I was ordered by him to pretend to be a ghost in front of Zhang Changzong. said that he has the image of the Son of Heaven, and his achievements in the coming days are limitless. ”

That's what you want!

Cui Gengqiang put away the ecstasy in his heart and said, "Are you willing to expose Zhang Changzong's crimes in front of Your Majesty?" ”

"I don't want to!" Xuan Jizi's answer was categorical.

"Why?"

Xuan Jizi spread his hands and said, "I exposed his crimes, can I still live?" Since it's all death, why should I bother my brother? ”

"This ......"

Cui Geng thought about it carefully, and it was really not unreasonable for people to worry about it. This kind of master who provokes others to rebel should be beheaded according to the law, can Wu Zetian still keep him for the New Year? Even if you are willing to intercede with him, it won't work!

He frowned and said, "But if you don't want to testify, it's useless." Or, in order to avoid long nights and dreams, the official fulfills your righteous anger and sends you on the road? ”

"Don't mind, it's useful below! It's useful in the next place! Xuan Jizi hurriedly said: "Although I can't testify, I can let others testify." ”

"Who?"

"That ......" Xuan Jizi said cautiously: "If the lower official says it, you can spare my life?" ”

"That's nature."

"No, the poor road is just this little life, but you can't fool the past as soon as you touch your mouth like this."

"What the hell are you trying to do?"

"I don't think it's as good as this, Cui Qingtian and Old Man Bilong, you are all people with status, why don't you make a poisonous oath, as long as I say that person, you will do your best to keep your subordinates safe?"

That's not too much to ask.

Cui Geng and Chai Yunrui glanced at each other, and quickly swore a poisonous oath.

In fact, they all understand that even if they find the witness, what can they do? Wu Zetian was able to slaughter the two Zhang?

Apparently impossible.

At best, it's an exchange chip. At the cost of not pursuing the crime of Erzhang, in exchange for Wu Zetian's compromise on Wei Yuanzhong's case.

In this case, it is better to live than to die. First, he was holding two small braids in his hand. Second, when necessary, he can also be used to restrain Hu Chao. Third, this mystery is a talent, maybe it will be of great use at any time.

The two of them swore that they had finished, and said; "Now you can always explain who that person is, right?"

"This person's name is Li Hongtai!"

"Huh? Li Hongtai? Hearing this name, Chai Yunrui and Cui Xiufang suddenly exclaimed in unison.

Xuanjizi laughed and said: "Li Hongtai is now living in seclusion, in Xiaoli Village, outside Luoyang City. What do you think? Go get him! Can you catch it? However, you can't blame me for not being able to catch it, after all, I have fulfilled my promise, but your skills are not good. ”

Cui Geng asked strangely, "What?" Is this Li Hongtai very powerful? ”
