Chapter 421 Guilty of being a thief
Xiao Jinyan was worried about Li Chuntie's safety and tentatively said, "Master, I have something to ask for."
Yuxi smiled and said, "You are Brother Chun Tie's junior brother, just call me Brother."
Xiao Jinyan had something to ask for, how could he lose his courtesy here? "Senior brother treated me as much as a mountain. Now he is in prison. He is anxious as a junior brother. I beg the Taoist priest to help me and let me meet with you."
Yuxi's face showed a look of embarrassment.
This is a head-lost thing. I wanted to refuse, but I remembered the divination that I had just divined and said, "Director Li is now locked in the prison of the imperial guards in the outer palace, and there are masters in the palace to take care of it. Except for Your Majesty, no one is allowed to contact you, so it is probably difficult."
Xiao Jinyan was just banging his luck and showed disappointment.
Yuxi said again, "However, tonight I will go to the palace to give you a message and pills for Your Majesty. You can bring one person into the outer palace. There is a pill room there. It is where I preach to Your Majesty. There is no one on weekdays, and it is only a hundred feet away from the inner prison. But you have to find a way to get in."
Xiao Jinyan felt grateful and thanked him repeatedly, "Xiao Jinyan is very grateful. Don't worry, Taoist priest. Even if his identity is exposed, he will never be involved with Taoist priest."
It's night.
Xiao Jinyan put on the Mo family's mask, changed into Taoist robe, pretended to be the Master of Yuxi, and stopped him, carrying the medicine box to the palace.
The guards of the imperial guards knew Taoist Yuxi. Every time he came to deliver elixirs, he would bring people. After all, someone had to be responsible for transporting things. How could the noble national magistrate of the Ming Dynasty do these rough work?
Yuxi's gold medal for entering the palace again, Xiao Jinyan had a low status and registered at the door with the name of a Taoist in the National Master's Mansion. He did not receive much embarrassment and entered the palace with him.
The Emperor of Daming believed in Taoism and built a elixir room for the national teacher in the palace to refine elixirs that last forever and prolong life. Because it was secretly kept, except for two guards at the door, there were no guards.
Yuxi changed his clothes, opened the box, took out the elixirs, and said to Xiao Jinyan, "Your Majesty will be in the imperial study at this time every day. Be careful when you move and don't alert the snake. If your identity is exposed, just leave."
Xiao Jinyan thanked him and sent Yuxi away. He deliberately transported some medicinal materials for alchemy in the yard.
The two guards said, "How come you have never seen you before?"
Xiao Jinyan said, "I used to be responsible for the procurement of elixirs in the Tianshi Mansion. Today I happened to come to Panku, and there are still medicine stones to replenish."
Yiguwei said, "It turns out that it is the purchase. The money purchased by the inner warehouse for the Tianshi Mansion in one year is like flowing water. This is a good job."
Xiao Jinyan smiled and said, "How could Your Majesty treat us unfairly?"
After saying that, he took out two silver notes from his arms and handed them over, "I'll ask two guys to support you in the future."
Seeing that he was so good, the guard gave him silver with a slight knock. He immediately smiled and took the silver and said, "It's easy to say, it's easy to say."
Xiao Jinyan chatted with the two for a while and said, "I still have to check the medicinal materials in the warehouse. If my master comes back later, if I am lazy, I will scold me."
The two of them expressed their understanding and walked out of the door, took the door with them, and were on duty outside the door.
Seeing this, Xiao Jinyan took out a black scarf and masked her face. While the two of them were not paying attention, he jumped out of the alchemy room. According to Taoist Master Yuxi's instructions, he tiptoed to the inner prison.
In the palace, there are many experts.
He did not dare to be careless at all, and gently released the force of the heaven and earth strings to sense the situation in the inner prison.
There are two large inner guards at the door, Zhixuan Zhongdi. There are four guards under the prison, whose martial arts are almost perfect. The real danger is in a dark room next to the prison, where there is a person hidden.
If it weren't for his special string power and only with ordinary internal strength, he would not be able to sense the existence of the two of them.
Crash.
Li Chuntie seemed to sense something and suddenly opened his eyes. His martial arts were banned, but his intuition he had practiced for many years and his understanding of Xiao Jinyan's true essence made him feel.
He didn't want Xiao Jinyan to take risks, but he was here at this moment but couldn't stop him.
As Master Yuxi said, the inner prison was strictly guarded, and Xiao Jinyan had no chance to get close.
Xiao Jinyan thought in his mind that the two people at the door and the four people in the secret passage were not worth worrying at all, but this was the palace and the shocking waves of gods. As long as he exposed his behavior, he would immediately fall into a place of no return.
Especially for those in the dark room, their martial arts are probably not inferior to Li Chuntie. It is said that all the masters in the world are used by the royal family, which is indeed true.
?Learn from literature and martial arts, goods and imperial families.
When martial arts reached the level of a master, they did not want to start a sect or avenge their enemies too much. It was the best choice to defect to the palace. These people did not show off their own dew, but they could get the favor of the emperor and protect their own tribesmen. Because of this, there are many invisible families in the local area, and their power is even stronger than that of local magistrates and prefectures.
Li Chuntie was in the inner prison.
If he missed this opportunity, he didn't know if he could wait until next time, so he decided to take a chance.
He picked up a stone and rushed to the distance.
The guards at the door looked at the sound and left. Xiao Jinyan released the law space, passed by the two at a nearly ghost speed, and then passed the four half-step masters who were in the eyes and sneaked into the secret passage.
His eyes were only staring at the dark room, and the three string forces cages into a spherical shape to ensure that they would not cause fluctuations in the surrounding true energy.
The man in the dark room stood cross-legged and a sword was placed in front of the table. He opened his eyes slightly, and his eyes seemed to be able to penetrate the wall.
Looking at each other in the partition walls.
They all knew the other party's existence, but they did not take any action.
Stalemate.
Silent stalemate.
Xiao Jinyan had already raised the string power to the peak, and his spiritual sense enveloped the man. As long as the other party took action, he would take the desperate attempt and take the man down.
Even though I have no confidence in my heart.
...
Imperial study room.
Zhu Liye is reviewing the memorials.
Although he had long been concerned about the government affairs, the trivial matters in the court would hinder the way he pursued the way of immortality. However, as the magistrate of the Nine Five, the documents drawn up by the cabinet tickets of the daily cabinet would still be sent to his desk before the case.
It is his business to see or not.
Giving or not is the matter of the cabinet.
I may not look at it, but if you don’t give it to me, that is a deception. This is his trick to shock the ministers.
There are also some documents, which were secret reports from Dengwenyuan, Jinyiwei and the two factories, including the words and actions of hundreds of officials in the capital, the vassal kings and important officials of the guard and pastoral side. He also needs to read these words and actions.
There is no need to look at it all, he does not have that skill. But before he meets someone, he will look at it in a targeted manner, and then find a few words that are neither salty nor light, and hit the minister.
For example, two days ago, the son of a steward of a minister in the court was having a tyrant meal in a small restaurant in the capital. When he saw the minister, he accidentally mentioned a sentence, which scared the minister to apologize for resignation.
People are doing it, I am watching.
I see everything about you.
This is the news he conveyed to all officials, and this is his imperial skills.
Eunuch Gao and Taoist Principal Yuxi had occupied half an hour in the study and did not dare to move at all. Before His Majesty spoke, they had no say.
Zhu Liye's eyes fell on a secret report. The secret report recorded the every move, words and deeds of King Zhao Langjiang of Yinyang when he arrived in the capital.
There was no excessive and extraordinary action.
He had known about Xue Huai's meeting with him for a long time. He had asked Xue Huai to do it. On the one hand, others were sophisticated and were very accurate in their eyes. He asked him to try the quality of this young man, and on the other hand, he would see if the Yin Yang King would take the initiative to cling to his clan and make private interests.
Although he was named King Yinyang, he was just a king of non-staff. Give him a title so that he could help him guard the Western Xinjiang with peace of mind.
Up to now, he is quite satisfied. Including before, he has conferred Li Qingcheng as a marquis under Yinyang City, he has not raised any objection.
He was so young and so experienced, which was somewhat beyond his expectations. This time, he was given the imperial edict to give him a last test while he was on his birthday.
If this test is passed, there will be no war in Western Xinjiang in the next thirty years.
He put down his secret report and asked, "How has the Yinyang Palace been built?"
Eunuch Gao replied, "Long live, the craftsmen in the city have been busy with the birthday banquet of His Majesty's Wanshou Palace recently. It will take about one month for the Ministry of Works to report."
"Tell the Ministry of Works and give them ten days. No matter what method is used, build the royal palace before my birthday party."
Eunuch Gao was shocked. How much blessing did this Yinyang King get? His Majesty would say such words, but his face was not turbulent, "Abide by the order."
He read the secret report from Dongchang again, which was not much different from the Jinyiwei, and said, "The King of Yinyang is hardworking and diligent, and he will give me a pair of jade Ruyi. Also, let him come to the palace to see me tomorrow."
"Abide by the order."
Zhu Liye stood up, stretched his waist, and looked at Yuxi Road, "What elixir has the national master refined recently?"
Taoist Master Yuxi had been standing for a long time. When he heard the news, he held a jade box and said respectfully, "Forty-nine Hundred Flower Pills were issued by Your Majesty to reward Empress Pei last time. In addition, there are eighteen Dragon and Tiger Pills and ten Shuntian Pills, and all of them are respected by Your Majesty."
Zhu Liye smiled and said, "Your Shuntian Pill is really good." After that, he opened the box and took out one.
Taoist Master Yuxi took it and swallowed it into his mouth, "Thank you Your Majesty to give the pill." The emperor was suspicious by nature. He would not use this pill if he didn't see the person who entered the pill taking it orally.
Zhu Liye took out another one, looked at it for a while, and said, "This elixir is as red as the sunset, as clear as jade, as loyal as Taoist priest."
These words were said for no reason, which shocked Master Yuxi. Zhu Liye noticed his situation and asked with a smile, "Are I wrong?"
Yuxi Taoist Priest, "The small path can refine elixirs for Your Majesty is a blessing for me to cultivate in my eight lifetimes in Longhu Mountain. It is the loyalty of the entire Longhu Mountain. How dare I own the small path?"
Zhu Liye laughed, "I am just a few words of emotion, you don't have to put it in appreciation."
The more this happens, the more frightened Yuxi becomes.
He has served the emperor for more than 20 years. He knows clearly when he should listen to his words in a straight face and when he should listen to the opposite.
He thrust and fell to his knees.
"The sin of the path deserves to be dead."
Zhu Liye frowned, "What are you guilty of? Eunuch Gao, look, if I praise him for a few words, he apologized."
Eunuch Gao wanted to say a few good things to Yuxi, but when he saw His Majesty smiled, it was the edge of His Majesty's anger, he trembled all over and said, "It's... the emperor's grace is so great, the thunder and rain are all kindness, and Taoist Principal Yuxi has overreacted."
“Overreact?”
