"What's your name, sir? What can I do for you?"
At this time, a middle-aged man walked out from the crowd. He had a square face and a beard, and his brows revealed a sense of righteousness. There was no doubt that this man must be Prime Minister Bigan.
"My name is Long Junhai, a second-generation disciple of the Jiejiao sect in Tongtian Palace. I came here just to make friends with Prime Minister Bigan." Long Junhai said with a smile.
"So you are a master from Jiejiao! I am sorry for not welcoming you in person! But we have important things to do today, so we can only wait until tomorrow to entertain you. I hope you can forgive me." Bigan said very politely.
Hearing this, Long Junhai smiled and said, "Is Prime Minister Bigan going to submit a joint petition?"
"That's exactly the case. I wonder what Mr. Long thinks about it?" Bigan asked calmly.
"I don't have any opinion, I just want to ask what the content of your memorial is?" asked Long Junhai.
Upon hearing this, Bigan smiled and generously handed the memorial in his hand to Long Junhai. He then said, "All the contents are on this memorial. Mr. Long, please give me some corrections."
Long Junhai opened the memorial and took a look. He saw that the content written on it was all about persuading King Zhou to stay away from alcohol and sex and to take charge of state affairs. There was no mention of anything related to Su Daji, so he felt more relieved. This at least showed that the situation had not deteriorated significantly. If he could enter the palace and find out the real news about Su Daji, he would be able to control the overall situation.
Long Junhai closed the memorial and said, "Although these contents are pertinent, King Zhou may not believe them. He is currently obsessed with wine, meat, and the Star-Picking Tower. Your advice may be unpleasant to the ear and may even backfire."
"Mr. Long is absolutely right, but Bigan is only concerned about Cheng Tang's foundation. As long as I can make the Shang Empire prosperous and strong, I am willing to sacrifice my life!" Bigan said very seriously.
"Your loyalty is witnessed by heaven and earth, and can shine like the sun and the moon, but it will inevitably bring trouble to yourself. By the way, have you ever been to Xuanyuan Tomb?" Long Junhai suddenly asked.
"Huh? Mr. Long also knows about Xuanyuan Tomb?" Bigan asked back curiously.
Upon hearing this, Long Junhai secretly cried out in disbelief. Since the other party knew about Xuanyuan Tomb, it meant that he had already been to this place. He might have already burned down Xuanyuan Tomb, which would have planted the seeds of disaster for him!
"There are three great monsters in Xuanyuan Tomb, each of which has caused great harm to people. I naturally know this." Long Junhai said.
"That's true. A few days ago, Grand Tutor Wen asked someone to bring back a thousand-year-old peach wood sword from the North Sea, saying that it could kill demons and revitalize the court. I have been carrying it with me. It is said that there are three demons haunting the Xuanyuan Tomb, so I led people to burn their lair and killed two of the monsters. In the end, only a nine-tailed fox escaped. Not many people know about this. How did Mr. Long know that I had been to the Xuanyuan Tomb?" Bigan asked curiously.
When Long Junhai heard this, his mood suddenly plummeted to the bottom. He originally wanted to save Bigan, but the other party not only burned Xuanyuan Tomb, but also killed two of the demons in it. He was digging a hole for himself and forcing himself into a desperate situation!
Seeing that Long Junhai looked unhappy, Bigan asked again, "Mr. Long, is there something wrong with this matter?"
"It's not inappropriate, it's very inappropriate! Prime Minister Bigan, you are really in danger this time! Of the two monsters you killed in Xuanyuan Tomb, was one a pheasant spirit with nine heads? And the other one was a jade pipa that had become a spirit?" Long Junhai asked.
"How do you know this?" Bigan asked more curiously.
Long Junhai smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying, "You'd better be careful recently. Someone is after your heart. If someone wants to dig it out, don't trust them. Even if King Zhou gets your heart, the Shang Empire will still fall."
Bigan frowned upon hearing this and said, "What are you talking about? Who would harm me? Is it the king?"
Long Junhai smiled bitterly, not knowing what to say. Finally, after thinking for a while, he said, "Although some things are in our control, there are also times when they are irreversible. You have to take care of yourself."
That was all Long Junhai had to say, and he left quickly. Bigan was confused, but still insisted on submitting a joint memorial.
After leaving Bi Gan's Prime Minister's Mansion, Long Junhai quickly rushed to the palace. The situation was critical now. Maybe today was the day Bi Gan would die. Once Bi Gan died, the war would basically break out. This would be very unfavorable for him because he was not prepared for war at all.
So Long Junhai quietly came to the palace. Although there were soldiers patrolling the area every once in a while, there were also gaps in time. He could take advantage of these gaps to break the formation and enter the palace without anyone noticing.
Fortunately, Long Junhai has a high level of attainment in formation. Although he is not the most powerful formation master in the fairy world, he can at least break most formations.
The outermost formation of the palace was relatively easy to break. It took Long Junhai two cups of tea to quietly integrate into the formation and enter the palace without completely destroying it.
Long Junhai concealed his own breath and changed into a soldier's armor to avoid being discovered by others. After all, the soldiers here were at least in the early stage of Earth Immortal, and they could easily detect external enemies.
Long Junhai's mental power is much stronger than that of people of the same level, so he can avoid crowded places in advance and choose to walk in remote corners where there are few people. If he really meets someone he cannot avoid, he will directly enter his own Tiandao Universe to hide and wait until others leave before coming out.
Long Junhai was not familiar with the imperial palace, but based on his own guess, the halls and bedrooms that King Zhou frequently visited were located near the east gate, while the bedrooms of the concubines should be located to the west, north, and south. Su Daji had just entered the palace and was likely living in a more remote bedroom.
Long Junhai quietly wandered around the palace for more than half an hour and finally found Su Daji's whereabouts.
"Empress, this hibiscus tea is excellent. It can prolong life and keep you young forever. You can take more."
"Sister, your tea ceremony is truly extraordinary. Every time I come to your place, I can enjoy a pot of delicious tea."
"As long as the Empress likes it, Daji will prepare a variety of new teas for you every day."
In a remote pavilion, a group of women were drinking tea and appreciating flowers. Leading the group was the Empress, followed by two concubines, while Su Daji stood obediently by the side, serving them.
Long Junhai secretly observed Su Daji's every move from a distance. He found that there was no demonic aura on her, and the feeling she gave was no different from before. Could it be that he was too suspicious?
However, if Su Daji was not in trouble, then where did the nine-tailed fox go? Could it have gone somewhere else to harm the people?
