Chapter 419 Truth or Dare

Tianji and Tianshu looked at each other and knelt down together: "Forgive me, Your Majesty, we failed to snatch the lotus seeds."

The smile on Emperor Yuan Jing's face gradually disappeared and became deeper, and he said slowly:

"Twenty cannons, twenty-six masters, and you two of the fourth grade. There are Taoist priests from the Dizong to cooperate with you. I will give you a chance to explain. If there is a reason for the incident, I can forgive you."

Tianji turned his head and glanced at his companions, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, this time Jianzhou is in a state of turmoil. Apart from us and Dizong, there are almost all masters from the Wulin League fighting for lotus seeds."

Emperor Yuan Jing was expressionless: "So, lost to the Wulin League?"

Feeling a bit of chill, Tianji hastily said:

"It's not the Martial Arts League. The Taoist priests of the Earth Sect who hide the nine-color lotus have hired a few helpers. They are: Li Miaozhen, the saint of Tianzong, Xu Qi'an, a former silver gong, Chu Yuanzhen, a famous disciple of Renzong, and Yang Sitian, the supervisor. Qian Huan, and a monk, a little girl from the Southern Border Force Gu Department"

The silent woman spying on Tianshu was keenly aware that when His Majesty heard the word "Xu Qi'an", he suddenly felt a little hurried.

She didn't look up to peek at Longyan, but she could guess that His Majesty's face must be very ugly now.

Emperor Yuan Jing's complexion was more than ugly, his face was sinking like water, the veins on his forehead were slightly raised, and he looked like he was trying his best to endure the anger.

"Unexpectedly, an insignificant person at the beginning has now become a dog that can bite people."

Emperor Yuan Jing's sneer squeezed out from between his teeth: "I just issued an edict to sin against myself, and I thought I would find him to settle the matter after the storm. The whole family of the Xu family is in the capital, let's see how I can deal with him."

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

Tianji stated what he had seen and heard, including the conflict between the young master and Xu Qi'an who had a mysterious background. Of course, regarding this part, his point of view is that the mysterious young master is the direct descendant of a certain force, because he was jealous of Xu Qi'an's reputation and wanted to step on Xu Qi'an to become famous, so he deliberately targeted it.

This is logical.

"Why did Xu Qi'an get involved with the Taoist priests of the Dizong?" Yuan Jingdi asked suddenly.

"Subordinates haven't had time to investigate yet." Tianji replied, seeing that Emperor Yuan Jing had returned to silence, he skipped this topic and continued.

Emperor Yuan Jing listened quietly, until after hearing Tianji, Xu Qi'an threw out the amulet and shouted "National Teacher, save me", but the old emperor's expression suddenly changed when the National Teacher really came with the golden light.

"Why did the national teacher get involved, how could he summon it, why did he summon the national teacher?"

Emperor Yuan Jing paced back and forth in the imperial study room, his expression sometimes ferocious and sometimes gloomy.

The national teacher, why did she respond to Xu Qi'an's request for help? When did the two get involved?

Indescribable emotions welled up in his heart, Emperor Yuan Jing's expression suddenly turned ferocious, and he had the idea of ​​getting rid of Xu Qi'an immediately, and immediately killed this vicious dog that could bite people.

Disregarding one's own crimes, disregarding the opinions of the ministers, disregarding the opinions of the people of the world

It wasn't because he was afraid of his growth rate, he saw a lot of talented people like Emperor Yuan Jing, didn't he also Chu Yuanzhen, but Emperor Yuan Jing didn't even bother to talk to him.

It was because Xu Qi'an asked the National Teacher for help, and the National Teacher responded to him!

"Let's drive, go to Lingbao Temple!" Emperor Yuan Jing said word by word.

Haoqi Building.

Xu Qi'an was wearing an azure brocade robe, embroidered with light blue cloud-covering patterns, ringed with jingle bells, a hollow gold crown tied with his hair, and cloud-covering boots on his feet.

At first glance, he is more noble than the prince, and he is tall and straight, with a handsome appearance, deep and energetic eyes, and the twitch between his brows, forming a unique temperament that is a mixture of a rich man from an aristocratic family and a frivolous young man from the market. .

Looking at the young man sitting across from him, Wei Yuan was a little taken aback, and said with a smile, "I'm used to seeing you in a policeman's uniform, and occasionally changing clothes, it's really eye-catching."

"My sister made it for me, sewing it stitch by stitch."

Holding the teacup, Xu Qi'an recalled Xu Lingyue's obsessed eyes at that time, and said with a smile: "Wei Gong, I am going to seduce His Highness Huaiqing with this appearance, do you think there is any hope?"

Wei Yuan looked at him calmly, his eyes contained the vicissitudes of the years, "This is not your usual style of speaking, so just speak up if you have something to say."

"When investigating the case of Concubine Fu, I learned from my uncle that Duke Wei and the empress are childhood sweethearts, and they treated Huaiqing as their own. I thought that if I could be a son-in-law, Duke Wei would definitely treat me as a son-in-law. Bar."

Xu Qi'an smiled and said: "Grand Wei treats me very well, his kindness is as great as a mountain, I have no relatives and no reason, but I cultivate it with all my heart, just because of the three hurdles of asking the heart."

Wei Yuan had a gentle expression: "You seem to have gained something extra during this trip to Jianzhou."

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

"In my hometown, well, when I was a Kuaishou in Changle County, I learned a drinking order from the marketers, called Truth or Dare.

"Take the points of the dice as an example. If the points are small, they must either answer a question or drink a glass of wine. Cao Min wants to play this game with Wei Gong. He does not drink, but only speaks the truth."

He looked at Tsing Yi calmly, "If Duke Wei is not willing, Cao Beizhi will leave. From now on, I will never bother you again."

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

"Have you figured it out?"

"Um."

Wei Qingyi nodded, raised his hands in his sleeves, and made a gesture of please.

Hu Xu Qi'an breathed a sigh of relief, but was unavoidably nervous.

He grabbed the teacup, wiped it lightly, and rolled three dice into the cup, Dang Dang Dang! The dice collided and twirled in the teacup, followed by Xu Qi'an's roll, and returned to calm.

He opened the teacup, six six six!

I knew it, just based on my luck, I was invincible in the dice world, especially when the jade pendant sent by the supervisor was cracked and my luck was leaking, Xu Qi said with peace of mind.

Wei Yuan picked up the teacup, wiped it, shook it for a moment, put the teacup upside down on the table, and opened it without any hesitation.

Two, five, six.

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

Xu Qi'an pondered: "What is your relationship with the Empress?"

He chose this question, not simply gossip. First of all, the relationship between Wei Yuan and the queen determines the degree of quarrel between Wei Yuan and Emperor Yuan Jing.

Secondly, Lin'an's biological mother, Concubine Chen, is the secret son of the mystic warlock. The relationship between the queen and Wei Yuan determines whether the mystic warlock will repeat the old tricks and use the queen to frame Wei Yuan.

In the end, based on LSP's intuition, Xu Qi'an felt that the relationship between the queen and Wei Yuan was not simple.

"You know a lot."

Wei Yuan put away his gentle expression, his pupils with vicissitudes were sharpened a bit, he stared intently for a moment, and said: "I will tell you about the Queen and I later, but not now. Oh, you didn't say you want to tell now come out."

It's boring for you to exploit this loophole. Xu Qi'an nodded: "Okay."

Wei Yuan's words, in fact, admitted in a disguised form that his relationship with the empress was unusual, and it was also a kind of answer.

In the second round, Xu Qi'an was 666 again, and Wei Yuan was 551.

Xu Qi'an lowered his eyes, looked at the dice in front of Wei Yuan, paused for a moment, moved his eyes slowly up, and stared at him: "Wei Gong, do you know what secrets were hidden behind the battle of Shanhaiguan back then?"

Wei Yuan said indifferently: "If you mean stealing Dafeng luck, then I know."

As expected, he knew that the secret of the Dafeng National Fortune had been stolen. Xu Qi'an was forced to push it back just as surprise welled up in Xu Qi'an's heart, his face was calm.

Wei Yuan lowered his eyes slightly, and said: "Whenever a war starts, the national movement will be shaken. If you win, the national fortune will increase by one point, and if you lose, the national fortune will decrease by one point.

"The larger the scale of the battle, the greater the national movement. In the middle of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the vassal king rebelled, and the rebels attacked the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty. According to historical records, people's hearts were fluctuating at that time, and the scholar-official class was panicked.

"Although the rebellion was quelled later, it became a turning point in the decline of the Great Zhou Dynasty. The Battle of Shanhaiguan, the melee of various countries, the total number of troops invested exceeded one million. The scale is so large that it is rare in history books. The violent movement of the country is far better than that of Emperor Wuzong of the Qing Dynasty. .

"If you want to steal luck, the Battle of Shanhaiguan is the best time. It's a pity that I didn't realize it until later."

Wei Yuan refers to the soldiers who have invested more than one million, and they are truly elite soldiers, not counting militia labor. In history books, there are often descriptions such as 100,000 troops going out, and 300,000 troops going out.

But in fact, there is a lot of water, including the logistical militia. The number of soldiers who actually fought on the battlefield may not even be one-third of the total.

In the Battle of Shanhaiguan, the Dafeng, the Buddhist Kingdom, the Northern and Southern Barbarians, the Monster Race, and the Witch God Sect, these forces invested more than a million elite soldiers who could really fight on the battlefield.

That's the case, no wonder the first generation and the former leader of the Heavenly Gu Department planned such a war in order to leverage the orthodox dynasty of the Central Plains, and Xu Qi'an, the fate of Dafeng's country, suddenly realized.

Although he knew that in the Battle of Shanhaiguan, the Great Feng Guoyun was stolen, but he didn't understand the reason.

third round.

Xu Qi'an was so lucky that he rolled another 666, but this time the situation was different, when Wei Yuan opened the teacup, it turned out to be 666.

"rare!"

Wei Yuan laughed and said, "Why don't you ask each a question?"

Xu Qi'an nodded, agreed, and took the lead in asking his own question: "Wei Gong knows who is stealing luck? What's the purpose?"

Wei Yuan shook his head: "Among the major systems, only warlocks and Confucianism are closely related to luck, and Renzong is half of them. And only warlocks and Confucianism are the ones who can leverage the fate of the country.

"In today's Confucian system, the highest-ranking person is Zhao Shou, the dean of Yunlu Academy. He is not good enough to leverage the fortune of the country. Then there are only warlocks.

"Warlocks can block the secrets of heaven, how could I know who it is. Even if I knew, I would have "forgot" long ago."

Xu Qi'an took a deep breath: "It's the first supervisor."

After speaking, he stared at Wei Yuan without blinking, expecting to see a reaction like "a big change in his face" from his eyes.

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

He stared at Xu Qi'an closely, leaned forward uncontrollably, and said in a slightly hasty tone, "Be clear, what do you know, what information do you have in your hands."

Xu Qi'an said: "Wei Gong, is this your problem?"

Unexpectedly, Wei Yuan shook his head, restrained his emotions, and returned to his calm posture.

Wei Qingyi shook his head, and asked gently: "My question is: the sealed item under Sangbo is in your body, right?"

a bolt from the blue.

Lingbao Temple.

Emperor Yuan Jing sat in the familiar quiet room, looking at the flawless beauty opposite him, Luo Yuheng was one of the most exciting women he had ever seen.

No matter how his mood changes, or how his preference for women changes, Luo Yuheng can always satisfy his aesthetic taste without feeling fatigued.

Although this woman has never agreed to double cultivation with him, in Emperor Yuan Jing's heart, she has long been forbidden.

What's more, his long-cherished plan of longevity has to be realized by this woman.

Therefore, any man who has close contact with Luo Yuheng is not allowed.

She can dismiss me, she can perfunctory me, she can prevaricate me, it doesn't matter. But if she shows favor to other men, she will take special care of her.

That man has no choice but to die.

Emperor Yuan Jing was full of murderous intent towards Xu Qi'an, even if the turmoil of sin against himself did not pass, he still had countless ways to target Xu Qi'an.

Is it difficult for the emperor to deal with a common man?

It's not difficult at all.

I ignored him before and let him jump up and down because Emperor Yuan Jing never regarded him as an opponent and was not qualified. His enemies are the princes of the court, the supervisor, and Zhao Shou.

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

Even now, he didn't regard Xu Qi'an as an enemy, he originally thought of waiting for the turmoil to pass before settling accounts later.

Unexpectedly, this vicious dog bit the wrong meat.

Then, even if you pay some price, you have to kill the vicious dog.

Emperor Yuan Jing stared at the woman's national teacher, and said in a deep voice: "I heard that King Huai's spies came back to report that the national teacher also intervened in the affairs of Jianzhou?"

Luo Yuheng, with a pretty face and fair face, like a flawless jade, nodded slightly.

"Why did the national teacher intervene in this matter?" Emperor Yuan Jing asked.

"The nine-color lotus is the treasure of my Taoism, how can outsiders covet it." Luo Yuheng's red lips parted slightly, and his voice was cold: "On the contrary, it is Your Majesty, why do you want to seize the lotus seeds?"

Emperor Yuan Jing patiently explained: "I am stupid in Taoism, and I have not been able to form the alchemy for a long time, so I am extremely anxious. Knowing that the nine-color lotus seeds can be enlightened, I sent someone to fetch them."

After he finished speaking, Luo Yuheng nodded and accepted his explanation. He suddenly smiled, with a calm tone, as if chatting:

"I heard that Xu Qi'an burned the talisman and summoned the national teacher. Heh, I actually appreciate him very much. He is talented, ambitious, and has a sense of justice. It's just that he is too young to understand the overall situation.

"It will take a few more years of hard work. Delegating him to a commoner this time is just a good way to sharpen his temperament. But I didn't expect that he and the national teacher would have such a friendship."

Luo Yuheng frowned, and said in a cold tone: "A mere man, what kind of friendship does he have with me?"

Emperor Yuan Jing's eyes flashed, and he quickly asked: "If that's the case, why can he summon the national teacher?"
