Xiao Wei hesitated for a moment and said, "Maybe it was contaminated."
Xiao Wu said, "Did you get involved? That's what the Prince Consort said?"
Xiao Wei lowered his head and said nothing.
"Forget it," Xiao Wu patted Xiao Wei on the shoulder and said, "The Prince Consort is a good man and would not do anything bad. Whatever he says is what it is."
Xiao Wei said, “Yeah, I think so too.”
While Xiao Wu and Xiao Wei were talking, the eldest master stayed in the dark palace and asked Xiao Zhuang with gritted teeth: "Did the princess forget about us?"
Xiaozhuang's tears.
The boss held Li Wan in his arms and looked at Xiao Zhuang with anger in his eyes. Li Wan woke up several times, but was knocked unconscious by Xiao Zhuang mercilessly, which made the boss feel distressed, but helpless. If he knew that they were trapped in the imperial palace, the boss estimated that his Xiao Wan would be scared to death. Being knocked unconscious is better than being scared to death, right?
Xiao Zhuang said, "Wait a little longer, maybe something happened to my princess."
The boss pouted at Xiaozhuang. With the skills of the princess, what could this guy possibly encounter? The boss felt that he was so stupid. He trusted Princess Linglong, this idiot. He knew that this person was unreliable, but he still followed this person into the palace to seek death! "If we are caught," the boss said to Xiaozhuang dejectedly, "Do you think the princess can save us? Rob a court or something."
Xiaozhuang sat on the ground with his hands on his knees, ignoring the boss.
The eldest boss snorted softly, "Just hold on. I'm going to make it clear. If we get caught, you can't say you know Miss Li."
Xiao Zhuang said, "Then what should I say?"
The eldest boss said: "Didn't the princess say that we are killers? Then we should admit our guilt as killers."
Xiao Zhuang said: "This is a crime that deserves to be punished by Ling Chi (a form of torture) and the extermination of all nine generations of the clan!"
"Oh," the eldest boss said, "Do you have nine clans?"
Xiaozhuang was speechless.
The big boss grinned at Xiaozhuang and said, "You are just a bachelor. After being dead for 18 years, you can be a hero again. What are you afraid of?"
Xiao Zhuang also grinned at the boss and said, "Didn't I tell you?"
The eldest boss was stunned and asked quickly, "Did the princess also tell you a second way?"
Xiao Zhuang smiled and said, "I used to be the secret guard beside His Majesty. His Majesty knows me."
The boss was dumbfounded. The emperor knew the guy next to him, so why were they pretending to be killers?
Seeing that the boss was dumbfounded, Xiao Zhuang was happy and said, "Do you have anything else to say?"
The eldest master sniffed and said, "Why are you so happy? You belong to the princess. If you are caught, do you think the emperor will not go to find the princess?"
Xiao Zhuang gritted his teeth and said angrily: "Then I will say that I betrayed the princess and colluded with a pirate like you to enter the palace and cause chaos."
The eldest master laughed and said, "Does your opinion count? Your princess has the final say! Little bachelor, with your princess's brain, what do you think she will say to His Majesty?"
Xiaozhuang was dumbfounded.
The eldest master took out a dagger from his bosom and said to Xiaozhuang in a low voice: "There is only one way now. I will scratch your face so that the emperor can't recognize you. Then your princess will be fine."
Xiaozhuang's eyelids twitched as he looked at the dagger flashing with cold light in the boss's hand.
The boss slapped Xiaozhuang on the face with a dagger and said, "Soldiers will come here to search, and I will do this."
Xiaozhuang muttered, "Those are the imperial guards."
“Forget it,” the big boss felt that the guys who followed Princess Linglong were probably all stupid. They were about to die, so why ban the army?
Xianzong was standing in front of the Tingyu Pavilion in the imperial palace at this time, and heard the general of the imperial guards tell him that they had not found the assassin, and the imperial guards and the palace guards were still searching the palace. Xianzong looked at the Imperial Master Chengguan who came out to greet him, and said to the general: "First, search the Buddhist temple and the Book Pavilion inch by inch. No matter how powerful the assassin is, he can't grow wings and fly away!"
The general of the imperial guards quickly accepted the order and said, "I obey your order."
Xianzong complained angrily, "You have to rely on me for everything. Why can't you let me worry less?"
The general did not dare to say more. He kowtowed to Emperor Xianzong and then retreated.
Imperial Master Chengguan watched the general leave without saying a word.
Xianzong said, "Master, let's go in and talk."
In the palace where Master Chengguan was temporarily staying, calming incense was lit and a chessboard was placed under the small window.
Xianzong glanced at the black and white pieces on the chessboard and said, "The palace is ablaze with fire and bustle tonight. Imperial Master, are you still in the mood to play chess with yourself?"
Master Chengguan said softly, "With His Majesty here, I believe these thieves can't cause any trouble."
Xianzong sat down under the half-open window, waved to Master Chengguan, and said, "Sit down. I have something to say to Master Chengguan."
Imperial Master Chengguan sat opposite Emperor Xianzong and asked suspiciously, "Could it be possible that I, a humble monk, could help His Majesty catch this thief?"
Xianzong took a black chess piece from the chess box and played with it in his hand, saying, "This thief is so bold that he dared to run into my palace to kill people and set fire. Who do you think has such courage?"
Imperial Master Chengguan looked at the chessboard for a long time before he said, "Does Your Majesty have any evidence?"
Xianzong slapped the chessboard with a "snap" and said, "So you, Imperial Master, also knew it was Wen Fenglin?!"
Imperial Master Chengguan sighed and said, "Your Majesty, even if he is really the Junior Master, what can you do?"
Xianzong threw the black piece in his hand onto the chessboard and said, "There is one more thing I want to tell the Imperial Master. Wuhuan has also come to my Fengtian and is now in the capital."
Imperial Master Chengguan suddenly raised his head and looked towards Emperor Xianzong.
Xianzong said: "Linglong told me that she had talked to Imperial Master Wuhuan, and Imperial Master Wuhuan hoped that Wen Fenglin would die. Imperial Master, please tell me, what is going on?"
Imperial Master Chengguan slowly lowered his head and looked at the chaotic chessboard again, as if he was in a trance.
Xianzong just sat and waited. Since things had come to this point, Xianzong felt that it was not his turn to be anxious.
After a long while, Imperial Master Chengguan asked, "Did Wuhuan leave Zhuri without permission?"
Xianzong said: "Jingmo never told me that Wuhuan was coming, which shows that he must have left Zhuri secretly and came to my Fengtian."
"It's too risky," said Master Chengguan.
"It was quite dangerous," Xianzong said, "When Linglong met him, he was being besieged by Chenqi Chenmie, and it was Linglong who saved him."
"Wuhuan's martial arts were taught by Chenqi Chenmie," said National Master Chengguan. "If there are only two people in the Eternal Life Temple who can control Wuhuan, besides the abbot, they are the only two of them."
"Yes," Xianzong said, "If it weren't for Linglong, Wuhuan would be a corpse now."
Master Chengguan shook his head and said, "The arising and disappearance of dust will not kill Wuhuan."
"Oh," Xianzong said, "They brought Wuhuan back to the Eternal Life Temple, so the abbot didn't kill him? If he died ten days or half a month later, what would that mean to Master Wuhuan?"
