Bold Witch, Don’T Hurt My Husband

Chapter 60 Undercurrent

Capital City, Liu Mansion.

At this time, the huge Liu Mansion was brightly lit, and the family guards rushed outside in groups. In the middle hall of the home, a middle-aged man wearing official robes was standing and walking back and forth.

There was also a graceful-looking woman crying loudly next to her.

"Master, why is this happening? How can I survive if something happens to my daughter?"

These two people are Liu Baiyu's parents, and the middle-aged man is Liu Jiande, the prime minister of the current dynasty. He is ranked Second Grade and is the best among civil and military officials.

As an official, reaching Second Grade is almost the end. As for the so-called First Grade, most of them are highly respected tutors, grand masters and other ministerial officials, who do not have much real power in their hands, or they are princes.

Originally, with Liu Jiande's qualifications, he would have to wait a few more years. Fortunately, before the last prime minister returned home, he strongly recommended him to the emperor to succeed him, and he was promoted.

But just now, one of Liu Baiyu's guards was seriously injured and risked his life to return home and report the situation, saying that they had been intercepted and killed and that the whereabouts of the young lady was missing.

This made him anxious, and he quickly sent out his guards to rescue him. Although he knew there was little hope, he had to try his best.

"Don't worry, madam. The people who came back said that Yu'er has run away. Maybe she is safe now. I have sent someone, and maybe there will be clues soon!" Liu Jiande comforted his wife.

Although even he himself didn't believe this, he had no choice now.

"Master~ Master, we must get our daughter back!" The woman cried and then suddenly fainted!

"Madam, madam!"

"Quickly, help Madam back to her room and call the doctor!"

Soon, a maid helped the woman into the room, but Liu Jiande did not go with him. Instead, he stayed where he was. He was waiting for someone, someone who could save his daughter.

He was keenly aware that what happened today was unusual. He himself was very powerful in Jiang Country, and his daughter was also protected by practitioners. Ordinary people couldn't get into her body at all. It must have been premeditated.

This was basically directed at him, Liu Jiande.

At this moment, two streams of light flashed above the nave and transformed into two handsome young men.

A man stands with a sword in his arms. He is dressed in green robes and has a handsome face, but his posture is loose, giving people the impression of being carefree, like a bohemian knight-errant.

The other man was dressed like a scholar, with his hair tied up, and his white official robe was clean and tidy. His face was much softer than that of the man holding a sword next to him. His eyes were always squinted, as if he couldn't open them. There was a vague smile on his face.

Her temperament is gentle and elegant, making people feel like a spring breeze!

"Mo Shaoxia, Mr. Li, you are finally here!" Seeing the two of them, Liu Jiande hurriedly stepped forward.

In response to this, the sword-holding knight on the side responded:

"I heard that Ling Qianjin is in danger. My senior brother is in retreat, preparing for a battle with Monk Xuanji in seven days. I was asked to come over to see if there is anything I can do to help!"

The person who spoke was none other than Ten Thousand Sword Mountain's Qinghong Sword, Mo Jingchun. Although not as stunning as Li Shangxuan, he was still a famous person on the list.

"Prime Minister Liu, I thought that things might not be simple. The other party came prepared. I'm afraid the drunkard is not interested in drinking!" the scholar on the side said.

This man is the current genius of Cloud Sea Academy. He was born with oral disease and cannot speak, but he has excellent reading talent and loves to play chess. The teacher in the academy named him Li Guanqi, which means that he can become a gentleman in the future and watch chess. He who is silent is a gentleman.

Although he has never pursued an official career, his talent and reputation have long been known far and wide. This time he came to watch the competition for the talent list.

"I know, and it is most likely related to King Qi. In the past two years, Buddhist Gate has been trying to enter the Central Plains to spread the teachings. Your Majesty also refused to allow it before, but recently it has been a little wavering!"

"As the prime minister of the current government, I cannot watch this happen. Then Buddhist Gate is not engaged in production, and it is harmful to the development of people's livelihood but not beneficial at all. How can we allow them to develop as much as possible!"

There are not many Buddhist temples in Jiang Country, but there are not many. There was a severe drought 20 years ago and the people were not hungry, but the temples had no worries about food and clothing. This led to a large number of refugees becoming monks, and the Buddhas spread across the Central Plains. Fortunately, it was controlled in time so it didn't cause a big disaster.

It stands to reason that ordinary people can't live anymore, and becoming a monk is just for food. As long as they can survive, most people will definitely return to secular life. However, during the incident of a large number of refugees and monks 20 years ago, very few people returned to secular life. .

Just because of Buddhist Gate’s method of transformation, this is the fundamental reason why they have been resisting Buddhist Gate.

This battle between Li Shangxuan and Xuanji Monk in Ten Thousand Sword Mountain seems to be just a competition between two juniors, but in fact it is a competition between two Apex Level sects.

Excluding the Demon Sect, among the six righteous Apex Level sects in the world, only Cloud Sea Academy is willing to contact the imperial court. This is the nature of scholars, but it is only for the purpose of training the mind.

The rest are simply aloof from the world, especially Dao Sect, who are quiet and inactive and will not be bothered by these mundane things at all.

Ten Thousand Sword Mountain is keen on the so-called martial arts. Celestial Fragrance Gate is a women's sect. Occasionally, some disciples will elope with outsiders, especially those with low cultivation. A considerable number of them have married into court officials and even the royal family. There is some contact, but they will not interfere with the affairs of the court.

Most of the business done by Four Seas Pavilion is only for practitioners. There is also business in the mortal world, but most of it is directly connected with the royal family.

At this time, Buddhist Gate also wanted to come to the Central Plains to get involved. With their urine, it would inevitably have an impact on other families. After all, the disciples of each family still have to rely on the secular world.

Cloud Sea Academy was the first to bear the brunt of this, they would never allow such a thing to happen, and Ten Thousand Sword Mountain was because the eldest princess of the current dynasty was highly valued within the sect, so there was a competition for the ranking.

Besides, it would not be good for Buddhist Gate to get involved in the Central Plains. Wouldn't it be bad to just develop in the Western Regions?

Liu Jiande held a high position in the court and held real power. He was a staunch opponent of Buddhist Gate's settlement in the Central Plains. He was led by the current Taifu.

On the contrary, there is a group headed by the King of Qi. They advocate that Buddhist Gate be stationed in the Central Plains to quell the evil spirits in various states.

Of course, there is a third party member in the entire court, and that is the eunuch faction in Xichang. They have countless capable people, and they also have a demon-slaying department to deal with evil spirits in various places. It can be said that the entire court It looks like a harmonious atmosphere, but in fact there is a clear distinction between them.

The emperor was just balancing the power between them. This was the art of the emperor. Even the power of the eunuchs was supported by himself.

“It’s good that Prime Minister Liu knows what he’s doing, don’t take it lightly!”

In response, Liu Jiande nodded, and then clasped his fists at the two of them: "I leave my little girl's affairs to you. I beg you to rescue my little girl!"

"Then I'll go meet these turtle grandsons!"

"You're welcome, Prime Minister Liu, it's your duty!"

After saying that, the two people turned into a stream of light and disappeared in the central hall.

Watching the two of them leave, Liu Jiande felt uneasy in his heart, and the undercurrent in his court became more and more urgent.
