Chapter 93 Dad! Did you let me go down the mountain to clear mines?

At the same time, the State Master of Shu, who was invited by the officials of the Ministry of Rites to the next door, was a little impatient.

The Imperial Master of Shu Kingdom did not understand any Taoism. He was sent to Daxia Kingdom purely to rush into things, so he had no intention of paying any attention to Daxia's officials of the Ministry of Rites. He just wanted to go through the motions.

But he never expected that the Daxia official would ask such an impolite question after stopping him.

"You hate Shu, don't you?"

"If you are willing to pass on some intelligence to Daxia, we can help you leave the Shu Palace."

The Shu State Master thought they were crazy, so he taunted them: "Are you trying to instigate the Shu State Master to hate Shu?" He even reached out and tapped his temple, "The person who came up with this idea must have been injured before."

However, before the mocking smile of the Shu State's Imperial Master could fully rise, he was killed by the next two sentences from the Ministry of Rites official.

——"You dared to kill the previous imperial master, what is there for you not to be resentful of?"

——"You don't want the old emperor of Shu to find out about your affair with your brother."

The muscles of the Imperial Master of Shu tensed up:...

Sweat was pouring down.

At this moment, the only people in the world who understood each other well were the Chen State Master and the Shu State Master, who looked down on each other.

——Xia country’s intelligence agency is so terrifying.

…

The only great imperial teacher of the Chu State who was allowed to leave his position was still leisurely chatting with the palace maids and eunuchs.

Although the palace maids and eunuchs were all tight-lipped, the Grand Master of Chu still analyzed some things from certain sentences of someone, for example, Yuanruan was particularly fond of jade.

When the Grand Master of Chu was preparing several clues, he saw the official of the Ministry of Rites of Great Xia escorting the Grand Masters of the other two countries in enthusiastically and cordially.

The strange thing was that both national masters had absent-minded looks on their faces, and their movements showed a subtle attitude of resistance yet having to accept.

The Chu State Grand Master narrowed his eyes slightly, stood up and took the initiative to say: "My Lords, do you have any questions for me?"

This was his usual opening remark.

However, to his surprise, the Minister of Rites did not open up the conversation, but said in a profound and mysterious way: "Yes, but the time has not come yet."

The Grand Master of the Chu State was slightly startled. He did not expect to hear such familiar and perfunctory rhetoric.

He bowed and said, "I hope the Minister can give me some advice." After that, he skillfully handed over a money bag.

The Minister of Rites subconsciously stretched out his hand, but when he thought of Xiao Guoyun's recent focus on the gossips about these Taoists, he quickly withdrew his hand.

He said righteously: "The time is determined by heaven, just wait and see."

After saying this, the Minister of Rites left quickly.

The Grand Master of Chu: ...

It turns out that being a riddle teller is so annoying.

Suddenly I understood why some people in the past looked at him as if they wanted to hit him.

After the Minister of Rites left, the Grand Master of Chu walked towards the Grand Master of Chen and said, "For this matter, you..."

However, Chen Guoshi yawned and turned around irritably: "I'm tired from the journey. I'm going to rest first. As for how to cooperate with Xia Guo in conducting the Spring Festival ceremony, you two fellow Taoists can discuss it. I will cooperate." After saying that, he immediately left quickly.

The Grand Master of Chu: ???

He was a little confused.

Is this still the arrogant and show-off-loving Chen State Master?

He looked at the Shu Kingdom's Imperial Master and saw that he was frowning and pinching his brows.

The Shu Kingdom's Imperial Master said coldly, "My method of casting spells is different from yours, so I will not participate in the discussion. You...oh, yes, if you need me to do something, I will cooperate."

After saying this, the State Master of Shu also walked away with a sullen face.

The Grand Master of Chu: ...

He touched his chin and for the first time became wary of Daxia.

…

Daxia Huitong Hall

The Grand Master of Chu sat in his room and thought for a long time. Then he wrote a lot of things on the desk. Then he found the Chu soldiers who were accompanying him and asked for a carrier pigeon. An hour later, the Grand Master of Chu released the carrier pigeon.

The carrier pigeon flapped its wings and just flew over the corner of the wall when it was caught in a big net.

The Jinyiwei took out the copper tube tied to the pigeon's feet, and then hurried to the side hall of Yangxin Hall.

At this time, the Emperor, the Crown Prince, Prime Minister Li and Prime Minister Wang were looking over the intelligence they had gathered and arguing with each other with reason and evidence.

The chief of the palace guards took the pigeon from the Jinyi Guards and reported: "Your Majesty, the pigeon sent by the Grand Master of Chu is here."

The emperor said, "Well, present it."

The chief of the palace guards hurriedly brought it forward. The emperor opened it, glanced at it, and frowned slightly.

Then he handed it to the prince.

The Crown Prince saw his father's unprepared look and thought the content was very troublesome. He did not expect it to be just some overestimations of the Great Xia intelligence system by the Chu State's Grand Master, and content that made the Fourth Prince alert.

The prince handed it over to Prime Minister Li and Prime Minister Wang.

The two prime ministers also looked solemn after reading it.

At this time, Prime Minister Li suddenly touched his chin and said, "Your Majesty. The Grand Master of Chu is known for his wisdom. Would he risk sending out such worthless intelligence?"

Prime Minister Wang said, "I think there is a fraud. How about killing the pigeon?"

"No, let's release the pigeons after making some preparations." The emperor waved his hands. "Among the four countries, Chu is the strongest and has great ambitions for expansion. They have long been eyeing our Xia country. While the two countries have not yet gone to war, I would also like to take the opportunity to test their bottom line, Crown Prince..."

"My son is here."

The emperor said, "Let the official who is best at imitating handwriting come over and write something else, and then let the pigeon fly away."

The prince nodded slightly.

The emperor gave more instructions on the details, then waved to everyone, "Come here, continue to watch. What do you think of the news about the Chen court revealed by Chen Guo's national teacher? And what did Shu Guo's national teacher say about the old emperor of Shu trying to contact Chu to provoke the princes of Daxia? To what extent do you believe it?..."

The court officials pondered for a moment, then began arguing again.

…

At the same time, at the Huitong Hall.

The Grand Master of Chu lowered his eyebrows and drank tea, listening calmly to the Chu soldiers whispering: "The pigeon was taken away, can we take it back..."

The Grand Master of Chu State gently pressed his hand and said, "It's okay. There's nothing much to it. Just give it a try. Go down."

Although the Chu soldiers were confused, they still left convinced.

The Grand Master of Chu closed his eyes and rested for a while, then he got up and knocked on the door of the Grand Master of Chen in the middle of the night.

After a while, Chen Guo's Imperial Preceptor finally opened a seam of his dishevelled clothes and said unhappily, "So you are the Great Imperial Preceptor. I wonder what advice you have for me in this late night visit."

The Grand Master of Chu looked him over and asked abruptly, "Has the matter of the headmaster's son been discovered by Daxia?"

Master Chen's hands went limp and his head slammed against the doorpost.

His pupils trembled:!!!

Isn't this a secret that must not be revealed? !

How come everyone knows this?

Dad!

Are you letting me go because you don't want to be the headmaster anymore?!
