Chapter 70: I am afraid that my brother will suffer and I am afraid that he will drive a Land Rover

Taoist Zhou crawled forward, relying on his strong willpower to crawl in front of Yuan Ruan, and said loudly: "It's you, it was really you just now, there was no one behind the scenes, the little national teacher is you!"

Yuan Ruan tilted his head in confusion: [What kind of tongue twister is this person talking about? Who is behind this? ]

System: [Hiss... Could it be that he thinks you are just a puppet in front of him, and the real master is someone else? ]

The court officials were furious: !!!

It would be fine if you didn't believe them, but you actually dared not to believe the young imperial master!

What if the little imperial teacher gets sad because of this!

Angry!

Yuan Ruan: [Hiss, just taking salary and not doing anything? He has a nice idea. Damn, I wish such a good thing could really happen to me.]

The court officials staggered: Ah this...

Taoist Zhou suddenly howled: "Little Imperial Master, you can't really command the Yin Qi from a distance. You must be the reincarnation of a great master of my Shushan Sect! Little Imperial Master, I am the sixth generation disciple of the Dragon and Tiger Dojo and the Shushan Thirteen Talismans Taoist Art. I beg you to return to the orthodox Taoism!"

Crowd: !!!

The emperor and the prince were almost hurt in the waist by this divine display.

What happened?!

Where is your previous unyielding character and solemn promise? !

How come you're trying to curry favor with others and try to steal our little country's fortune? !

Crowd: Suddenly highly alert.

Yuan Ruan: [Absurd, what is he thinking, I am really not the reincarnation of some powerful being! ]

System: [Hahahaha… Ah Ruan, I still remember how arrogant he was when he came in, but now he’s begging you to return to some temple… Hahahaha, especially seeing his eager eyes now, I’m really dying of laughter.]

Everyone nodded madly in their hearts: !!!

What is this Taoist doing here?

What a powerful reincarnation.

This is clearly the destiny of our Great Xia Kingdom!

Yuan Ruan: [What should I do now? I hope my brother and the others won’t misunderstand me. I hope they won’t send me away.]

Crowd: !!!

No, no, absolutely not!

System: [I don't know. Actually, Ah Ruan, I suddenly thought, should we develop some Taoist priests to follow you? Taoist priests are also useful, especially those who focus on chemical research. They are needed for tofu delicacies and gunpowder weapons for fighting. When they are researched, the country's fortune will also be improved.]

Yuan Ruan: [That makes sense. But there aren't many Taoist priests in Daxia, and I can't teach you Taoist techniques. I'll wait until you grow up.]

Courtiers: !!!

What? Is this what Taoist priests are used for?

Gourmet tofu? Gunpowder weapons? Can these improve a country's fortune?

There was a slight change in the way the court officials looked at Taoist Zhou.

The emperor gave the prince a look.

The prince stood up and said to Master Zhou who was still struggling madly, "You think the young imperial master is the orthodox one? Then who instructed you to question the young imperial master before?"

The court officials all looked at Master Zhou.

To everyone's surprise, Taoist Zhou spoke very straightforwardly, almost repeating the chat records between many Taoists.

Crowd: …

The prince couldn't help but ask, "You, you told me everything?" You're sliding too fast.

Taoist Zhou said as a matter of course: "It's all for the sake of Taoism. I believe they can understand me. If they were here, they would definitely do the same thing as me." After answering the prince, Taoist Zhou looked at Yuan Ruan with a burning gaze: "Great Master, I have already said, when can you follow me back to the Taoist temple."

Crowd: Retreat! Retreat! Retreat!

Don’t even think about it! Get lost!

Yuan Ruan: [Hiss, this circle of Taoist friends perfectly illustrates that it is better to die than to die. ]

Everyone: Yes.

At this time, Yuanruan yawned.

The prince took the opportunity to say to the emperor, "Father, my ninth sister must be tired. I will take her downstairs to rest. As for Taoist Master Zhou, I think he is from the Dragon and Tiger Dojo after all, so he is not suitable for imprisonment. How about keeping him in prison?"

The emperor nodded: "Yes."

Yuan Ruan yawned, and the prince took Yuan Ruan from the emperor and sent him to rest.

The courtiers looked at each other.

The Prince's tutor spoke first: "Your Majesty, since the small country says that Taoist priests are still useful, should our Great Xia also start to train Taoist priests and alchemists? In case of emergency."

The emperor nodded slightly.

Prime Minister Li suddenly said, "I don't think this is necessary."

Prime Minister Wang glanced at him and said, "Oh? I guess Prime Minister Li doesn't think highly of the Taoist's little tricks."

Prime Minister Li smiled and said, "No, no! I was thinking that although Daxia has no Taoist priests, there are many Taoist priests in Longhu Dojo and other countries. Daxia does not need to train more."

The emperor suddenly looked up at Prime Minister Li.

Prime Minister Li bowed and said, "I think since these people are targeting the young imperial master, we should just let them come in naturally. After they come in, those who are favored by the young imperial master will stay. I once heard the young imperial master say something that is particularly suitable for use now, which is to make use of waste."

The Prince's tutor said, "That's not right. The Taoists regard Daxia as a barbarian country, not a place to seek and prove the Dao. If they wanted to stay, they would have come long ago."

Prime Minister Wang did not contradict this time, but said, "What the Grand Tutor said is not right. They have come to Daxia to cause trouble, so how can we treat them with courtesy?! I agree with Prime Minister Li. Let the little Imperial Master see those people with his own eyes. If the little Imperial Master thinks they are useful, let them stay. If anyone is unwilling to stay, lock them up for investigation."

The Prince's tutor frowned and shook his head: "Prince Wang, what you said is wrong. Alas, have you forgotten the Four Books and Five Classics that I taught you?"

Prime Minister Wang bowed and said, "Master, the times are different now..."

The Prince's tutor said, "If you want to cut the weeds, you have to remove the roots. It's better to kill him than to keep him locked up."

Crowd: !!!

Prime Minister Li and Prime Minister Wang both nearly had their beards pulled out.

Master, I didn’t expect you to be such a master!

The emperor suddenly laughed out loud, stood up and said, "Okay, let's just let it go. Spread the news that Taoist Zhou is in the palace secretly. If there are others who want to get in through the empress or concubines, let them come."

The court officials all bowed and said, "Yes, Your Majesty."

…

Two days later...

The Taoists gathered again, looking forward to it in a good mood.

I waited and waited, sitting from morning till nightfall, and even the maid who came to serve tea was yawning, but Taoist Zhou still didn't come back, and there was no news at all.

The Taoists couldn't hold it in any longer.

Taoist Fang said, "Don't worry, I have sent people to contact the local tyrants in the capital of Daxia, and there will be news soon."

At this moment, someone suddenly came running in with news and said, "Masters, yes, there is news!"

The Taoist priests were excited and asked, "Is he okay?! Bao... cough, the emperor didn't make things difficult for him, did he? Is he still alive?"

The man shook his head repeatedly and said, "Alive, alive. I heard there is no difficulty. It seems that he has been recognized by the imperial teacher and will become a guest of honor in Daxia. It seems that a royal Taoist temple will be built specifically for him. Oh, this is great news... huh?"

The person who brought the message had a surprised look on his face. Why did the Taoists look so happy at first, but then became a little stiff as they listened?

But he soon understood that this was "I am both afraid that my brother will suffer and afraid that he will enjoy great happiness!"

The man chuckled twice, took the reward and ran away.

The house was silent.

Suddenly, a voice with a hint of gloom said, "We are so worried, but he is actually doing something wrong. He is colluding with others."

Taoist Master Wen suddenly stood up and said, "No! If he surrenders like this, he might harm us. We can't just sit there and wait for death. Tomorrow I will follow Concubine De's path and take a look."

A Taoist priest muttered: "I'm afraid he will also rush to surrender."

"If I surrender, I will be struck by five thunderbolts!" Taoist Master Wen immediately swore a solemn oath.

The Taoists were so frightened that they dared not speak.

Taoist Fang then relaxed his brows and whispered, "Be careful. The man who can convince Taoist Zhou must be quite capable. The emperor may be very partial to him..."

Taoist Master Wen took out a jade bottle and said, "Don't worry! Have you forgotten that I have always been successful in dealing with kings? Moreover, I have done a favor to the Emperor of Xia."

The Taoists suddenly realized and said confidently, "That's right! Taoist Master Wen has always been a specialist in the emperor! Come back early for this three-day appointment!"

Taoist Master Wen said confidently: "Don't worry, it will only take two days."

After saying this, he strode towards the chancellor of the capital city.
