Ding Youtian didn't know whether Yang Wuqi was round or square. He had never seen Yang Wuqi, and Yang Wuqi was not a problem at all in his opinion. The dead cannot speak, and he didn't believe that Huo Jincheng couldn't even think of this.
Let’s not talk about anything else, just talking about the case of the young child in the county town, Feng Qingzi and his apprentice deserved to die!
"Is it difficult for you, Master Huo, to make a villain disappear? I see that what you're worried about isn't this matter, but how to remove yourself from the matter of his master-disciple relationship and clear yourself of any involvement, so as to avoid the gossip of Prince Yong. Am I right?"
Huo Jincheng was secretly shocked. Before tonight, he had never really taken Ding Youtian seriously. He had only helped him because he had read the policy paper he had written and deeply agreed with it. He had disobeyed his parents and insisted on marrying Hua, not following the father's rule of sonship, and had been criticized by many.
The essay resonated with him, so he helped him, thinking he was quite talented. But what Ding Youtian had just said made him realize that he was not only talented, but also seemed to be scheming, which was really beyond his expectations.
Indeed, Yang Wuqi is not the problem, and it is not difficult to deal with him. The reason why he has not been touched for the time being is just as Ding Youtian said, how to clear himself of the matter and prevent Prince Yong from using him as evidence to threaten the prince. After all, Feng Qingzi has always been trusted by Prince Yong.
"Since you know the reason, you must have thought of a solution long ago. I would like to hear your advice." He looked at Ding Youtian and said.
Ding Youtian smiled slightly. "I told you so long ago. What advice can I give you? Besides, my master is sitting here. How can I show off my skills in front of him?"
Blind Liu rolled his eyes and glared at him, saying, "You have as many tricks as I do. If you had any, you should have told him earlier. The old blind man has had a few drinks and wants to rest early. Don't disturb his sleep."
"Alright, I'll give him some pointers." Ding Youtian turned to Huo Jincheng and said, "This isn't easy, but it's not difficult either. Regardless of the truth, as long as you're there, regardless of whether you're involved or not, he'll always be suspicious of you, unless you've never been here before."
Huo Jincheng poured wine into his glass, handed it to him, motioned him to drink it, and continued talking.
Ding Youtian finished his drink and, seeing him sitting there waiting for him to speak, pointed at the empty glass on the table and said, "Fill it up again. What are you standing there for? Shouldn't you be more attentive when asking for advice? You have no tact at all."
Huo Jincheng swallowed his anger and poured him another glass of wine. "I'm going to drink you to death. If you have to fart, do it now. I've never seen you act so arrogantly. You better not ask me for help in the future."
Ding Youtian scoffed and stopped harassing him, continuing, "Since he's bound to suspect you, just don't let him get any evidence. That way, he can't do anything to you. I've thought it all out for you. There's just one thing that's going to cause quite a stir. If he asks about it, you'll need an excuse to cover it up. It's about the incident where you mobilized the city guards to surround the palace guards."
This was exactly what Huo Jincheng was worried about. He hadn't figured out how to respond if Prince Yong asked about it. "What good explanation do you have? I'd like to hear it in detail."
"Just tell me that my wife went up the mountain to collect herbs and stumbled upon an ambush in the back hills. She also heard them say they wanted to destroy the riverside base. She came back and told me about it, and I told you. The emperor approved the lanterns, and the people from Prince Zhao's palace wanted to destroy the base. You reported it to Jing Shouzheng and mobilized the city defense troops. It's reasonable. Whether he believes it or not is up to him."
Huo Jincheng thought about it carefully and decided that this was the only solution at the moment. As Ding Youtian said, Prince Yong knew very well that he would not believe him anyway, and all he needed was a tenable explanation.
"That's fine, but doing so will definitely bring you two into trouble and make them target you two."
Ding Youtian said, "There aren't many people from his group who are targeting my wife and me. Maybe he has already set his sights on us and intervened. We don't know if Geng is connected to him or not. At worst, we'll both be defeated. There's nothing to be afraid of."
Blind Liu, who looked like he was dozing off with his eyes downcast, said without raising his head, "Can't the net be broken but the fish survive? A torn net can be mended, but if a person dies, there's no coming back."
"Master is right. This fish of a disciple still wants to jump out of the farm, fly outside, see the world, broaden his horizons, and live a good life."
He didn't care about attracting Prince Yong's attention, and Huo Jincheng's worries were mostly gone. The only thing left was the whereabouts of Nanyangzi. He suddenly stood up and bowed solemnly to Ding Youtian. "I have one more thing to worry about. Brother Ding, please tell me the truth. In the early morning of the day when your wife was seriously injured by Feng Qingzi, was he really eliminated by a white-bearded immortal cultivator?"
"If you want to ask, then ask. What's the point of being polite? Why would I lie to you? Why do you keep asking about this? Do you also want to learn the art of cultivating immortality?"
"No! It's just that I was ordered by the Crown Prince to search for a master, but I couldn't find him, so I was very depressed."
"It's not so easy to find a master. Come, have a drink. If I meet that old man again in the future, I will definitely ask him for you and see if he is the master you are looking for."
He reached out to pull Huo Jincheng to sit down, but Huo Jincheng brushed his hand away and said, "Why hide it from me? To be honest, I have a feeling that the person I'm looking for might be in your Dingxian Village. Maybe you know him, but you just don't want to tell the truth."
"In that case, I won't drink this wine. Goodbye!" He bowed, glanced at the dozing Blind Liu, turned around and strode away.
As soon as he left, Blind Liu straightened up. Ding Youtian turned the wine glass in his hand, glanced at him and said with a smile: "Master, do you think I should tell him that you are the master he is looking for?"
Blind Liu was annoyed and said, "Get lost!"
"I have something to ask Master, so I can't leave for a while."
"What's the matter? Tell me."
"Old Five was murdered by Feng Qingzi. They must know about this, but I don't know how to reveal it. I can't just say he was possessed by Feng Qingzi. That's too shocking, and they might not be able to accept it. Also, after death, there must be a body. I read in a storybook that immortals can turn stone into gold. So, Master, can you use your magic to create Old Five's body and let the government find it before reporting it to them?"
Blind Liu narrowed his eyes and looked at him and said, "This old blind man can dissolve you and then use the wine glass in your hand to make your corpse appear. Do you want to try it?"
"If my disciple dies, won't my wife be left as a widow? She'll cry herself blind. But forget it. Fortunately, my wife said that Master is knowledgeable and can come up with a good idea."
"I have an idea, but I'm not happy to tell you. What do you think?"
Ding Youtian grinned, "Master, you better think it through. I'm your only disciple. A hundred years from now, you'll have to rely on me to erect a monument and mourn for your deceased father. You'd better not be upset. Tell me quickly, what are your ideas?"
