Xianzong was pacing back and forth in a room in the inner palace with his hands behind his back, sighing from time to time.
Zuo You sat aside and watched Xianzong spinning around until he felt dizzy. He said, "Uncle, please sit down and take a rest."
Xianzong said: "I have never heard of Jing Mo planning to set fire to Wuming Tower before."
Zuo You didn't like Jing Mo, but at this time he spoke up for Jing Mo: "Uncle, he cleared out all the Eternal Life Temple spies in Fengjing City for you, once and for all. This is a good thing."
Xianzong beat his chest and said distressedly: "Those are all my houses in Fengjing." Later, the truth came out and the people knew it was a show. If you burn it for nothing, he will have to pay for it.
Zuo You felt that Emperor Xianzong was worrying for nothing and said, "Uncle, have you forgotten that Jingmo owes the princess a mountain of gold?"
Xianzong waved his hand weakly at Marshal Zuo. Taking money out of his daughter's pocket was not easier than killing Mo Wen.
A loud bang came from outside the door.
"What's going on?" Xianzong asked loudly.
"Your Majesty," a secret guard outside the door reported, "The left corner tower of the main palace gate has collapsed."
Zuo You coughed lightly. Although this was the imperial palace of Fengtian, he also felt sorry for His Majesty Xianzong.
In the Nameless Building, Fu Boyuan stood in front of the Earth Spirit, his hair was a tangle of weeds, his prison uniform was stained with blood, and the whole body of Master Fu exuded a sour odor that had not been cleaned for a long time.
"You actually escaped," Di Ling looked at Fu Boyuan and said.
Fu Boyuan said: "The Ministry of Punishment in the Fengtian Palace was burned down."
Di Ling nodded. He could see the fire in the Imperial Palace clearly from the top of the Nameless Tower.
"Is my family safe now?" Fu Boyuan asked Di Ling, his voice hoarse and a little trembling.
Di Ling tapped the armrest of the chair with his fingers and said calmly, "Most of the Fu family members are fine, but your wife, Mrs. Wu, may have lost her life."
At this time, Fu Boyuan could only bite the bullet and act with the earth spirit. His body swayed for a moment, and Mr. Fu's voice suddenly rose eight degrees: "Wu is dead"
The Earth Spirit threw a copper coin into Fu Boyuan's hand and said, "The abbot ordered me to bring Wu to Fengjing. I wanted you and your wife to be reunited after you succeeded. Unfortunately, Yuning ordered people to arrest monks on sight in the city and hunted down all the people in my Eternal Life Temple, so Wu was captured by the soldiers of Fengtian."
Fu Boyuan held the copper coin and asked the earth spirit: "What is this?"
"The key to the Coffin of Sighs," the earth spirit replied.
Fu Boyuan was shocked and angry: "You locked my wife in the Sighing Coffin"
Without even raising his eyelids, Di Ling said, "It was the Fengtian people who captured Wu and locked her in the Sighing Coffin."
"What?" Fu Boyuan shouted.
"My men risked their lives to save people, but they only managed to get back the key," Di Ling said. "I was worried that something might happen to Mrs. Wu, so I ordered someone to return the key. Unfortunately, the Fengtian people forcibly opened the Coffin of Sighs for some reason. My Lord, you know the consequences of forcibly opening the Coffin of Sighs. Mrs. Wu is probably no longer alive."
Fu Boyuan wanted to throw the copper coin in his hand hard on Di Ling's face. This man was lying. Did he really think he was a fool who was easy to deceive?
"I'll give you the key now," Di Ling said, looking as if he was thinking about Fu Boyuan, "After all, I haven't seen Wu's body, so go check it out yourself."
Fu Boyuan said: "Let me go back"
The Earth Spirit said, "You'd better go back. No matter what method you use, gain Guining's trust and go back to Xuanwu with him as soon as possible."
Fu Boyuan said coldly: "How could Yu Ningsheng still believe me?"
"This is the eldest son's business," the Earth Spirit said calmly, "The host has ordered you to control Xuanwu's army. If you can't do it, eldest son, you have more than one relative in this world, Wu. Take care of yourself."
"I want to leave the city," Fu Boyuan suddenly shouted.
"Don't you ask about Wu's life or death?" Di Ling frowned when Fu Boyuan shouted, "If you run away now, Mr. Fu, forgive me for being blunt, no one in this world can save you."
Fu Boyuan stood with his head down. He wanted to make an angry expression first and then become distraught, but it was a pity that he really didn't have the acting skills to do so.
Di Ling didn't even look at Fu Boyuan, and changed the subject to ask Fu Boyuan: "Among those imprisoned in the Ministry of Punishment, has anyone else escaped besides you?"
Fu Boyuan shook his head. "I don't know. There weren't many prisoners in the Ministry of Punishment. When the prison caught fire, no one came to take care of us. When I escaped from the Ministry of Punishment, there were many people outside, and there were many dead bodies on the ground."
"I understand," Di Ling looked at Fu Boyuan's burned hand and said, "Remember what the host told you. Someone will come to find you again. You better take care of yourself."
A waiter from Wuminglou was standing outside the door at this time, and he said to Diling very quickly: "Master, a group of robbers came from the street, broke into the house, set fire and looted."
Hearing this, Di Ling stood up and walked to the window, and saw that a large house on the street was surrounded by fire. Reaching out of the window to test the wind direction, Di Ling turned his back to Fu Boyuan and said, "You go back to the imperial palace in Fengtian. I hope Madam Wu is safe."
Fu Boyuan said: "Where are you going?"
Di Ling did not answer, but just waved at Fu Boyuan.
Fu Boyuan stamped his feet, turned around and walked out of the room.
"Go pack up," Di Ling ordered the guy outside the door, "Let's get out of here."
The guy had wanted to escape for a long time, and when he heard that Di Ling was finally leaving, he shouted anxiously and ran downstairs.
Di Ling closed the window facing the street, counted with his fingers, and still could not come up with any result. Master Di Ling, frowning, pounded the window frame. Could it be that from now on, he would no longer be able to see the secrets of heaven?
Wuhuan Imperial Master flew down from the roof and stood on a courtyard wall. Looking at Fu Boyuan, who was squeezed in the crowd and staggering towards the Imperial Palace, Wuhuan Imperial Master shook his head and sighed. After listening to Di Ling's nonsense, this Master Fu should know what choice he should make.
Not long after, Di Ling and his men came out of the Nameless Tower. At that time, the streets were full of pedestrians who wanted to escape from the city, as well as carriages and horses filled with old and young women and goods. It was impossible for Di Ling and his men to leave as quickly as possible.
"Separate yourselves," Di Lingming said to the people around him, "We'll meet at the Shili Pavilion outside the city."
Everyone in Wuming Building responded to the Earth Spirit in unison.
Master Di Ling brought only two guards with him, squeezed into the crowd, and walked towards the north gate.
The big boss led his men and ran past the Earth Spirit, then winked at his brothers. The pirates in front dispersed, two people and one person, following behind the people from Wuming Building who were walking separately.
Di Ling had not walked far when he saw a fire in the house next to him. Several men who looked like bandits came out of the door with packages and boxes on their shoulders and hands. It was obvious that they had made a good harvest on this trip.
The crying and shouting behind him suddenly became louder. Di Ling looked back and saw that some bandits threw torches into the nameless building.
