Chapter 167
Qi Mingyuan followed that person closely until he came to the temple outside the city.
To be honest, Qi Mingyuan is a little puzzled from the bottom of his heart, why people are willing to find a temple when they do bad things, so they are not afraid of punishment from the gods.The person in front finally stabilized his pace slowly, turned his head and smiled treacherously: "The Taoist priest is so courageous."
"What is your purpose?" Qi Mingyuan gently pressed the scabbard in his hand, the sword aura was slightly cold.
The man was not moved at all, he just looked at Qi Mingyuan for a long time, then shook his head: "I just want to invite the Taoist priest to come here, as for the other arrangements of the lord, I don't know."
Qi Mingyuan took a step forward, and then watched helplessly as the man's bones slowly cracked and stretched out in front of Qi Mingyuan.
"Bone shrinking skill?" Qi Mingyuan frowned.
The person in front of him was already the height of an ordinary young man before, but now he stretched out his bones a little bit, as if the whole person suddenly became a bit taller.
Qi Mingyuan's surprised expression was fully seen by that person, and the man in black sneered: "Master's matter, please don't intervene too much, it will be of no benefit to you or me."
This time, the man left without waiting for Qi Mingyuan to finish speaking.
His speed was so fast that Qi Mingyuan had no choice but to straighten his mind and walk towards the temple that was emitting a faint incense.
The temple was very clean, and it didn't look like a bad place, but when Qi Mingyuan walked in and ran into the eunuch, he was really shocked.
To be honest, before, he always thought that what the man in black said was just a trick, but at this moment he really saw that the eunuch was in this temple, so Qi Mingyuan had to admit that maybe Zhu Yijun was really here.
So many emotions surged up in an instant, so that Qi Mingyuan was caught off guard by the person who came out of it clean.
Zhu Yijun looked at Qi Mingyuan who suddenly appeared in front of him, and it took him a while to react, and said with a slight smile, "Master Daoist, long time no see."
His smile was calm and indifferent, showing no discomfort at all.
Such an attitude made Qi Mingyuan suddenly feel a little uncomfortable, he almost subconsciously controlled himself not to hold his scabbard, maybe only the cold sword energy could calm his heart completely, but Qi Mingyuan didn't.
Qi Mingyuan just raised his head, and slowly saluted in the same tone as Zhu Yijun: "Qi sees the emperor."
The expression between Zhu Yijun's eyebrows and eyes was very calm, without too much emotion, and his voice was also very steady: "As a member of the Taoist family, the Taoist priest will come here unexpectedly."
Qi Mingyuan didn't respond, he just looked at Zhu Yijun for a long time, confirmed the safety of this person with his own eyes, and then slowly said: "Qi wants to say a few words to the emperor."
These few words almost exhausted all Qi Mingyuan's strength, he couldn't even imagine how he would deal with himself if the emperor rejected him.
However, Zhu Yijun did not.
Zhu Yijun just looked at Qi Mingyuan for a while, then waved slightly, and walked inside on his own.
Qi Mingyuan only felt his heart tugging slightly, slowly hanging in the air.Sometimes some people are your doom, and there is no way to explain the reason, but his words and deeds affect everything about you like that, and you are caught off guard.
Zhu Yijun is such an existence to Qi Mingyuan.
Obviously that person is the Ninth Five-Year Supreme, but he still couldn't help but care about it from the bottom of his heart.
No longer remembering what the original reason was, Qi Mingyuan looked at the man's back and could only sigh slowly, suppressing those thoughts that shouldn't be there.
What he couldn't see was that Zhu Yijun, who was walking ahead, was also gently tucking his fingers into his sleeves, with a hint of helplessness clearly passing between his brows and eyes.
The chief eunuch was sandwiched between the two of them carefully, not daring to take a breath.
Until the two walked into the house together, and slowly closed the heavy door of the temple.
Qi Mingyuan just took a deep breath and asked: "Your Majesty, Qi has a question."
"Say." Zhu Yijun stretched out his slightly pale fingers and poured himself a cup of tea, after thinking about it, he added another cup and handed it to Qi Mingyuan in front of him.
Such a posture made Qi Mingyuan feel a little overwhelmed, he slowly took the teacup in the emperor's hand, and then put it on the table uncomfortably.
A short moment of silence was enough for Zhu Yijun to look at the person in front of him, but he hadn't seen him for a few days, Qi Mingyuan almost seemed to be a different person, with a little more indifference to his whole person.Zhu Yijun sighed, and finally reached out and gently picked up the teacup: "Taoist?"
Qi Mingyuan made up his mind and asked, "I don't know why the emperor is here?"
Zhu Yijun looked at Qi Mingyuan for a while, and then smiled lightly. There was an indescribable meaning in his smile and he said lightly: "There are complicated affairs in the palace. I have come here to clean up for a while."
Following Zhu Yijun's words, Qi Mingyuan only felt his heart sink more and more. He knew that Zhu Yijun was unwilling to admit it, which also meant that Zhu Yijun was wary of him.
Zhu Yijun has a meticulous mind, how can he guess the emperor's mind?Qi Mingyuan understood, but he couldn't convince himself.
So he had no choice but to sigh silently, then drank the cup of tea in one gulp, let the scorching heat of the tea burn through his throat, frowned slightly and said: "Your Majesty, there is a fraud in this matter, you come here, It fell into their trap."
"Otherwise?" Zhu Yijun raised his eyebrows slightly.
Qi Mingyuan was stunned, his thinking was very simple, if Zhu Yijun knew there was a fraud, he shouldn't put himself in danger.
However, Zhu Yijun smiled slightly, and his voice was deep but determined: "If I don't come, won't I never be able to find out the secret of the smoke column?"
Qi Mingyuan frowned.
Zhu Yijun shook his head and put down the teacup, and added a cup of tea to Qi Mingyuan: "If the Taoist priest is worried, how about staying here for a while?"
As soon as this sentence came out, both of them were stunned.
Qi Mingyuan only felt that his heart was going up and down. Before, it was Zhu Yijun who asked him to leave, but now it was him who asked...to ask him to stay.
Although these words were not put on the bright side, they were enough to make his heart slightly confused.
It seemed that all thoughts and schemes were ineffective in front of this person, and there was nothing left.
This kind of feeling made Qi Mingyuan a little powerless, but he felt helpless and enjoyed it.
He thought he was crazy.
After a while, Zhu Yijun just handed the cup of tea at just the right temperature to Qi Mingyuan. The temperature between his brows and eyes was just right, and his voice was also slightly warm: "The Taoist priest cares about me, and I... am very happy."
Qi Mingyuan was stunned for nothing.
So Zhu Yijun smiled slightly, then opened the door on his own, and called the eunuch who was waiting outside: "Speak to the abbot, and say that Daoist Qi will stay here for a while, please forgive me .”
The eunuch responded and went away.
Qi Mingyuan, who was left in a daze, sat in the room and looked at Zhu Yijun who was in front of him with a calm expression. After a while, he finally managed to say: "Your Majesty, Qi has an unfeeling request."
Zhu Yijun couldn't bear to be watched by him, he turned his head slightly and said indifferently: "Say."
A slight smile flashed across Qi Mingyuan's eyes: "Qi wants to..."
"Report to the emperor, something happened to the abbot!" The chief eunuch ran in staggeringly, with a terrified expression on his face.
Zhu Yijun's expression slowly sank. He had already made all the preparations when he came to this temple. He brought no less than twenty hidden guards, but they were all around the courtyard. He never thought that the abbot's courtyard would also accident.
Qi Mingyuan followed Zhu Yijun to the outside, and felt that Zhu Yijun's steps were hurried and fast until he stopped in front of the abbot's courtyard.
The abbot walked very peacefully, twisting a string of Buddhist beads in his hand, as if he had melted from his seat.
However, looking closely, it was not the case, his smile was slightly stiff, and a string of blood dripped from the corner of his lips, obviously he was poisoned.
Qi Mingyuan looked at Zhu Yijun who couldn't suppress his anger, after all he couldn't hold back and reached out to pat the back of Zhu Yijun's hand: "What is that, Your Majesty..."
His original intention was to comfort, but in the eyes of others, it turned out to be a little different.
That is, in the face of a catastrophe, there is someone who is the emperor.
The expression of the hidden guard immediately became subtle, one or two ran all the way, eager to scramble to find the assistant to avoid being implicated by the embarrassment of the emperor.
Zhu Yijun's expression froze slightly, and his eyes slowly moved down to Qi Mingyuan's fingers.
Qi Mingyuan's expression is very upright, he is simply a typical representative of good young people in the new era.
After a while, Zhu Yijun had no choice but to grab Qi Mingyuan's finger with his right hand and move it away, and said slowly: "I understand."
Three words, gnashing of teeth, very angry.
These emotions were clearly conveyed to Qi Mingyuan. Qi Mingyuan's expression was indifferent and calm, very ignorant of worldly affairs, and extremely immortal.
"I will call Xiaoguzi over." Zhu Yijun finally said.
Qi Mingyuan was very happy. This probably means that the emperor agrees with him?Obviously, our Daoist didn't consider that the emperor just wanted him to calm down a bit.
On the other side, Gong Jiu rushed to Gong Jiu's island together with Chu Cichao.
I don't know when it started, Chu Cichao seems to have gotten used to sharing a room with Gong Jiu, and even that person often has convulsions from time to time.
All of this seems to be a habit in silence.
When he was about to reach the island, Chu Cichao finally couldn't help asking: "Brother Jiu... Gong."
Gong Jiu raised his eyebrows and reached out to hand over a jug of wine.
Chu Cichao caught it helplessly, warmed it in his hand, and asked after a while, "Why do you insist on letting me follow?"
Gong Jiu smiled slightly this time, his smile was still the same as before, with three parts wanton and seven parts proud, with a meaningful tone: "What do you think of Ci Chao?"
Hearing Gong Jiu calling his name like this for the first time, Chu Cichao suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, and his breathing was almost an inch short.
He looked at Gong Jiu for a long time, and then saw Gong Jiu approaching a little bit, his breath was close at hand, Gong Jiu stretched out his hand and stroked Chu Cichao's hair slowly, and said with a smile: "Ci Chao's medical skills are superb, in this respect not so good."
Chu Cichao felt that his breathing was completely messed up.
