The nine-fold palace was opened, and he didn't dare to raise his voice to shock the world.

In the imperial study, Li Longji pinched a piece of paper in his hand, his face sank like water, but there was an indescribable coercion spreading, pressing the attendants next to him like a chilling cicada, and he didn't dare to make a sound, Li Longji's knuckles turned white due to excessive force, but in the end, he sighed helplessly, his whole body relaxed, looked at Mu Zixuan, who was the only calm and calm on the field, and said: "What is written on Aiqing's recital is the whole truth about Sima Zhenren's killing?"

Mu Zixuan was neither humble nor arrogant: "Yes, it is Zhang Shouzhi who conspired to kill the teacher in order to avoid responsibility and seek authority. ”

Li Longji said angrily: "Hmph, a dignified cultivator, but he is entangled in the desire for profit, and he has committed such an evil deed that is intolerable to heaven, and I don't know which way of cultivation he has cultivated?" Zhang Shouzhi, I have lost my eyes!" The Son of Heaven was furious, shaking like thunder, and the guards around him couldn't help but tremble in unison.

But Li Longji's anger seemed to be like a thunderstorm, coming and going quickly, and he quickly said calmly: "Aiqing and Daoist Li Hanguang have joined forces to make a statement, so naturally I will not have any suspicions, but this evidence seems to be lacking, I am afraid that I will not be able to convince others." ”

Mu Zixuan said: "It was the minister's mistake, although the minister and Li Daochang joined forces to lure him into the net, but unexpectedly, he was trapped and fighting, and sent his accomplices to rob Du Duzhi, but Your Majesty can rest assured, the minister has a way to let him tell the truth, but it will take some time." ”

Li Longji nodded and said: "Since Aiqing said so, then I will believe you, so I will first detain Zhang Shouzhi in the cage of Si Tiantai, the holy decree that was drafted before remains unchanged, and the decree can be officially announced, and the news of Sima Zhenren's death without illness will be made public, Aiqing, you can announce the decree together, and discuss the future with Li Daochang and others." ”

Mu Zixuan saw that the mixed true and false music had successfully fooled the past, and he also secretly breathed a sigh of relief and retreated.

Watching Mu Zixuan walk away, Li Longji suddenly shook his head, and somehow remembered Sima Chengzhen again. As the emperor's honor, the world should be in the palm of his hand, but Sima Chengzhen represents another force that he can't control, this force is not subject to the law, not under the control of the emperor, high above, and unmeasurable, so even he treats Sima Chengzhen as a teacher and friend, and every time he talks to him, he is careful to keep his words balanced in not losing the majesty of the emperor and trying his best to win over this force.

But now, Sima Chengzhen was killed by his own apprentice, and he died like ordinary people, because of the mundane thing of power struggle and profit, Li Longji was angry, and suddenly dared to put a light on his head, as if the dark clouds that had been pressing on his head for many years had dissipated a little.

"Shangqing Sect, Heavenly Dao cultivators, it turns out that it's nothing more than that. A disdainful sneer, an emperor's golden mouth, drew a temporary end to the matter.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

It was past noon, Mu Zixuan held a paper bag in his hand, returned to his house from Shangqingguan, and when he entered the door, he frowned, and then walked straight to the bedroom.

The half-oblique sun shone into the room through the crack in the door, projecting on Ying Feiyang's sleepy-eyed face, Ying Feiyang was awakened by this light, looked at Mu Zixuan with his hand in front of him, and said, "Oh, senior brother, you're back." "Then I turned over and went to sleep again.

Mu Zixuan said, "Why are you sleeping here?"

"Huh, I've been running around all night for the past few days, and I haven't had a good night's sleep, so I'm not allowed to squint for a while?"

Mu Zixuan gritted his teeth and said, "I said, why are you sleeping here?" The word "here" was bitten by him with two accents.

Ying Feiyang saw that he couldn't sleep, got up and rubbed his eyes and said: "I have no relatives in Luoyang, so naturally I want to go to you, senior brother, you have such a big house, you don't even have a servant, you are alone, and you are not afraid of hauntings, fortunately, junior brother and I have a strong yang spirit, and I can help you to calm down the yin." ”

"I said, why didn't I meet you in Shangqingguan just now, and I fell out with the people in Shangqingguan?" Mu Zixuan ignored his nonsense and interrupted.

"It's not about falling out, I just feel uncomfortable staying over there, and I don't want to stay. Ying Feiyang pursed his hair and said. After this incident, with his temperament, he could no longer live in Shangqingguan with peace of mind, but he was penniless and had nowhere to go, but fortunately, he remembered that he had climbed over the wall of Mu Zixuan's house with He Guqiu, so he slept in Mu Zixuan's house uninvited. Speaking of which, he and Mu Zixuan are not familiar with each other, and the relationship is also difficult to distinguish between friend and foe, but he feels quite casual around Mu Zixuan, and there is a feeling of getting along with a Qingshu Taoist.

Ying Feiyang's sleepiness disappeared, but the first thing to wake up was his stomach, he hadn't eaten for almost a whole day, as soon as Fang came to his senses, his stomach screamed, Ying Feiyang shrugged his nose, and asked A fragrance came from the paper bag in Mu Zixuan's hand, "I'm so hungry, senior brother, what delicious food did you bring me?"

Before Mu Zixuan could answer, Tian shamelessly took the paper bag, opened it and saw that it was two scones, and he couldn't help but be disappointed, and said disdainfully: "Senior brother, you are an official anyway, why do you eat these?"

Mu Zixuan said angrily: "You kid don't know the goods, this is Wang Ji mutton naan cake, which only sells two hundred a day, and you can't buy it if you don't line up in advance." ”

Ying Feiyang was not polite, and pulled the cake away, and sure enough, there was a lot in the seemingly ordinary cake, and the oily and golden diced mutton mixed with the fragrance of green onions exuded a puffy nose. When you bite into it, it is really crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, and a rich fragrance explodes on the tip of the tongue.

"Hey, I bought one for one!" Mu Zixuan said angrily.

Ying Feiyang didn't care about anything else, he ate the naan in his hand in two bites, and had to move the second one, Mu Zixuan even stretched out his hand to protect it. The two Heavenly Dao cultivators actually came up for a naan cake.

"You guys, are you still young? You can fight for food. There was another charming voice outside the door, and a stunning figure Tingting walked over, it was Ji Yaoyu, Ji Yaoyu's beautiful eyes looked at the two of them with disdain.

"Yo, it turns out that you don't live alone?" Ying Feiyang let out a meaningful strange laugh, Ji Yaoyu heard the meaning of his words, her face turned red, and she glanced at him with a thin hatred. Mu Zixuan unceremoniously chiseled at the door of his head and said, "Little hairy child, chewing the root of your tongue blindly, you are not afraid of rotting your tongue." After that, he said to Ji Yaoyu: "Yaoyu, why are you here?"

Ying Feiyang faked a cry of pain, looked behind Ji Yaoyu again, and then added with disappointment: "Why didn't Miss Yue'er follow?"

"I'll take a look and find out the news, as for Yue'er, if you miss her, go to the Red Pavilion to find her yourself?" Ji Yaoyu said with a smile.

Ying Feiyang hurriedly retracted his neck and muttered, "Who will miss her, Sister Yaoyu, what news are you here to inquire about?"

Ji Yaoyu said with a smile: "This is not in a hurry, look at you two big men, you eat so casually, and wait first, I will make two dishes simply, and I will talk about it if I have something to say." ”

Ji Yaoyu said and didn't care about them, rolled up her sleeves, revealed two crystal jade wrists, and entered the kitchen with ease.

Ying Feiyang and Ji Yaoyu met several times, only to feel that she was sometimes like a fairy, sometimes beautiful like a noblewoman, sometimes kind like an eldest sister, this time the posture of washing hands and making soup was like a good wife and mother, and couldn't help but say to Mu Zixuan: "Senior brother, Sister Yaoyu is a good person, you can't fail her." ”

"Good people?" Mu Zixuan said with an eyebrow.

"Oh, speaking of which, Miss Yue'er is a demon, and Sister Yaoyu should also be a demon, senior brother, could it be that you are also separated because of the difference between demons and demons?"

Mu Zixuan glanced at him, stuffed the naan cake in his hand into his hand, and said, "Eat your cake, no one will rob you!"

Although it was just a simple cooking of two dishes, after a while, Ji Yaoyu served four dishes and one soup, although each dish was just a home-cooked dish, but it was bright in color, quite exquisite, and appetizing.

The two brothers didn't say a word, they started eating with chopsticks, and Ji Yaoyu simply ate a few bites, then stopped and asked Mu Zixuan: "How did you deal with the matter of the sisters of the Red Pavilion?"

Mu Zixuan showed a wry smile and said, "I knew you were going to ask about this." As he spoke, he told the whole story, and then apologized: "Yaoyu, this time I was one step behind, and Du Duzhi was snatched away by them, but don't worry, he will die sooner or later." ”

Ji Yaoyu pressed chopsticks against her smooth forehead and said: "Alas, although I am a demon, but when I enter the twelve squares of the Red Pavilion, I will come according to the rules of the Red Pavilion, so I believe your words, I hope to give justice to the sisters who died tragically." ”

Ying Feiyang asked again: "By the way, how is the matter of the Shangqing faction handled?"

Mu Zixuan pouted and said, " Sima Zhenren was ordered to die without a problem, and the news was not revealed, some disciples thought that Sima Zhenren had only died today, and was crying there, as for the death of the Duanfa monk, the Shangqing faction also seemed to have reached an agreement with the White Horse Temple, after all, the past of the Duanfa monk was not glorious, and the White Horse Temple did not want to make a noise, so the right should be the vendetta of Sun Changji and Duanfa, but the low-level monks of the White Horse Temple did not know so many twists and turns, in their eyes, they only saw that the Shangqing faction took away the big living person of Duanfa from the White Horse Temple, and sent Duanfa back to the White Horse Temple after turning the Duanfa into a corpse, it's going to start fighting first. ”

Ying Feiyang gloated and said: "Then I have to congratulate Senior Brother Mu, Senior Brother has been famous for persuading both sides of Buddhism and Taoism last time, and now there is a chance to persuade a few more times, needless to say, your reputation will definitely rise, and the day when you become the first celebrity in the world is just around the corner." ”

Mu Zixuan sneered: "Don't be happy too early, not to congratulate me, but to congratulate us, since you crashed into it by yourself today, you don't have to let me notify you, listen, from tomorrow, you will come to our rooftop to work!"
