Chapter 111 Donghuang Taiyi
Xianyang City became more and more lively, and there were many Jianghu people who acted secretly. The imperial court had to mobilize tens of thousands of troops from outside the city to garrison the city.
In the wine shop and the restaurant, the novelists wrote and interpreted the previous events related to Su Yu, and then asked the storyteller to describe them vividly.
"I saw Su Zi, after reciting the last sentence to the lotus pond, the lotus flowers turned red in the sun, and then the lotus flowers in the pond suddenly started to sway and bloomed one after another. It was really shocking, and the master and the others were scared to death at that time. It is said that a silly boy named Liang Mu fell to his knees on the spot. "In a restaurant, the storyteller was vividly describing this gesture as if he had seen it with his own eyes, and everyone present was stunned.
"Hey, are you talking nonsense?" At this time, a young man stood up and said.
"It turns out to be a Taoist friend, little Taoist priest, why do you say I'm talking nonsense? So many people have seen this with their own eyes, not to mention that the peach trees in the Sun Prime Minister's Mansion were blooming and bearing fruit, and it was personally verified by His Majesty and others." The storyteller said.
The little Taoist priest immediately sat down awkwardly.
"So, is it true that His Majesty became younger after eating the fairy peach?"
"It must be true. I heard that the queues of people who want to enter the Prime Minister's Mansion to meet the immortals are all lined up outside the city." Someone said quickly.
In a corner of the restaurant, several relatively plainly dressed people were chatting in low voices.
"Alas, I wonder where leader Tian Yan has gone? Now there is no one in the farmhouse who can speak and take care of things." One person said.
"I didn't want to come to Xianyang this time. The farm at home depends on my father and the others, so I'm a little worried."
"You said, can't we farm the land well? You have to let us follow. Now the leaders are arguing all day long." Another person said.
At this time, several more men with sinister looks walked into the restaurant. These people were wearing simple armor and holding weapons. They looked like soldiers, but they were more murderous than ordinary soldiers.
"He's from the military strategist." Someone murmured in a low voice after recognizing the person.
"Let's go." Immediately, many diners left in a hurry. Soldiers were very brave and fierce, and would often draw their swords when they disagreed. They were very united and no one dared to provoke them easily.
In a private room on the upper floor of the restaurant, several people were observing everything downstairs through the windows.
"All the disciples are here, tell the brothers from other places to keep an eye on me." Someone in the private room whispered.
"Yes, sir." Someone responded immediately.
This person turned around, it was Zhang Han, the leader of the Shadow Guards.
"Sir, the capital has been quite complicated recently. I'm worried that we don't have enough manpower. Do you think you should ask Luo Wang for help?"
"Shut up, don't mention the trap again." Zhang Han scolded his men.
"yes."
Zhang Han turned back to look out the window, and his mind couldn't help but recall what the emperor said that night.
"Eighteenth Son, I am very disappointed." When he returned to the palace that day, Ying Zheng's good mood of having fifty years to live was disturbed again.
The reason is that Zhao Gao interceded for Hu Hai, but was eventually withdrawn by Ying Zhengma. Zhang Han was present at the time. He saw murderous intent in Ying Zheng's eyes. Zhao Gao was probably about to suffer. After all, Hu Hai was his nominal student. Now that he had become like this, it was obvious that Zhao Gao had also disgusted the emperor.
"A companion to you is like a tiger." Zhang Han couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
In the Prime Minister's Mansion, Su Yu closed the door and thanked him. No one was seen, and the surrounding area had already been protected by soldiers. Some of them thought they were highly skilled and wanted to explore the Prime Minister's Mansion at night, but there was no doubt that these people would never see him again. Didn't show up.
"Jiang Ni." Su Yu shouted from the room.
"Emperor." Jiang Ni appeared immediately.
"Go back to Bai Yujing and give this letter to Qiao Feng and the others, and by the way, this set of clothes." After Su Yu finished speaking, he handed over a letter and a set of clothes with a set of clothes on them. A mask with a golden dragon pattern painted on it was prepared for Qiao Feng.
"Yes." After Jiang Ni took it, he turned and left.
"Zhao Gao? It's time to send you on your way." Su Yu secretly said.
Not long after, Wuming came over. It turned out that the emperor sent someone to invite Su Yu to the palace again.
"Let's go." Su Yu nodded.
The person waiting outside the door was Li Si. When he saw Su Yu coming out, he quickly stepped forward to salute.
"Li Si pays homage to Su Zi."
"It turns out it's Mr. Li, you've got a job." Su Yu nodded. Su Yu couldn't say he disliked this person. He was just a person who was blinded by power. But for now, Li Si was still loyal to Ying Zheng and Da Qin.
"Look, it's out." Su Yu's appearance immediately caused a commotion around him.
Many people from various schools of thought in the distance saw Su Yu for the first time and looked at him curiously.
Su Yu obviously knew about the existence of these people. He walked to the carriage and deliberately stopped, waving to the nearby people.
"Wow... the immortal is greeting us." Many people immediately shouted excitedly. For the common people, they have never thought about immortality, and they came here just out of curiosity. Now seeing the legendary immortal waving to them has satisfied the little vanity in their hearts.
"Ordinary people are simple. They run around and work hard every day just to survive, and having a full stomach is their simplest dream." Su Yu said while sitting in the carriage.
"Well, that's true, but some people want to be deprived of even their simplest luxury." Wuming said.
"Did you also notice those people?" Su Yu said.
"Well, there are many. They should be the people from the various schools of thought mentioned by the emperor." Wuming nodded.
"What are the various schools of thought?" Ah Qing asked in confusion.
"Haha, nothing, just a bunch of troublemakers who don't do their job." Su Yu touched the little girl's head and laughed.
"Emperor, what are you going to do? Persuade the emperor to stop suppressing them?" Wuming asked curiously.
"I have my own way." Su Yu said.
In the palace, Ying Zheng had been waiting at the gate of the palace for a long time. There were civil and military officials and many Confucianists around him. Fu Nian and others had entered the palace two days ago.
Just as Su Yu's carriage was about to arrive at the palace, a carriage drove from the road on the side. The carriage was printed with a red pattern of a three-legged golden crow.
Ying Zheng couldn't help but narrow his eyes. He knew that the one who came was Donghuang Taiyi from the Yin-Yang School. He didn't expect that this reclusive guy would also show up.
"Emperor, the person riding the carriage is very strong." Wuming suddenly said.
Su Yu showed a hint of interest and nodded.
After a while, two carriages converged at the main road in front of the palace gate. Since the two carriages were huge, they could not enter at the same time, so they stopped here.
Li Si raised his hand when he saw this, and the carriage team stopped immediately.
Then Li Si jumped off the horse and walked to the carriage of the Yin-Yang family.
"Lord Li." The horse driver smiled.
"Xiao Ling." Li Si nodded.
"Li Si greets His Excellency Dong Huang." Li Si bowed and saluted. Although he is the prime minister of the empire and can be said to walk sideways in Xianyang City, in front of the man in the carriage, Li Si knows that he is no different from an ant.
"Your Excellency Dong Huang, I invite Su Zi to enter the palace on the order of His Majesty." Li Si said. He did not say a word to ask Dong Huang to give in, but he brought out Ying Zheng.
In the carriage, Dong Huang Taiyi under the mask nodded gently to the Moon God sitting opposite.
"Xiao Ling, step back." In the carriage, the Moon God whispered.
"Yes." Xiao Ling controlled the carriage to slowly retreat.
"Thank you." Li Si breathed a sigh of relief and said hurriedly.
Then Su Yu's carriage continued to drive. When passing by the other carriage, he suddenly felt a strange energy coming. Su Yu smiled and waved his hand gently.
In the carriage, Donghuang Taiyi's body shook, and then a trace of surprise appeared in his eyes.
"Leader." Yue Shen naturally noticed the difference and asked hurriedly.
I saw Donghuang Taiyi's complex eyes under the mask, and then waved his hand to indicate that it was okay.
The two carriages drove towards the palace one after another.
"Haha, interesting, that guy actually gave in." Ying Zheng laughed.
The carriage slowly stopped. Except for Fusu, everyone present prostrated on the ground. This was the highest etiquette for Su Yu.
Su Yu and others got off the carriage and greeted him with a smile.
"Su Zi, you agreed to let me entertain you in the palace. After five or six days, I can't wait." Ying Zheng said. There was a hint of dissatisfaction in his tone, and he obviously regarded Su Yu as a close friend.
"Your Majesty is busy with all kinds of affairs, and I am just an idle person, and I don't want to disturb you." Su Yu said.
At this time, Donghuang Taiyi's carriage also stopped, and Xiao Ling lifted the curtain, and saw Yue Shen walked down slowly. Then he stood aside respectfully.
Donghuang Taiyi appeared, and his tall body was covered by a black robe. He wore a strange black mask on his face, and the whole person seemed to be shrouded in mist.
He floated towards Ying Zheng as if attached to the ground.
"Your Majesty." Donghuang Taiyi's voice was a little hoarse but very deep.
"Come on, Donghuang, you must have heard of this person a long time ago, it is Su Zi." The First Emperor said hurriedly.
"Your Excellency Donghuang." Su Yu nodded.
"Su Zi, Emperor, which one is you?" Donghuang looked at Su Yu, and his eyes seemed to be shining under the mask.
"Well... both." Su Yu said. There was nothing to hide. He knew that his identity could not be hidden from Ying Zheng, let alone Dong Huang Tai Yi.
"Mee..."
Suddenly, a sheep's cry broke the weird atmosphere.
"Mee mee..." It turned out to be Xiao Bai, who called out to Dong Huang Tai Yi.
"Don't call Xiao Bai randomly." Ah Qing quickly covered Xiao Bai and said.
"So that's it." Su Yu looked at Xiao Bai, and then thought about it.
Ah Qing also looked at Dong Huang Tai Yi in confusion, as if Xiao Bai had just said something unbelievable.
And Dong Huang Tai Yi also looked at Xiao Bai, and then his body trembled, but soon returned to normal.
This action was very secretive, but it was still captured by Su Yu.
"Haha, please." Ying Zheng laughed at this time.
Then Su Yu and others followed Ying Zheng into the palace.
Along the way, Dong Huang Tai Yi looked at Su Yu and Xiao Bai vaguely, and his doubts in his heart became even greater.
