Infinite true path

The Imperial Master's answer was quite intriguing. It would have been better if he had directly said that he thought Huan Yin was just a mortal. But what he said was that he couldn't see anything. Does that mean that with his cultivation level, even Huan Yin and other immortals couldn't see through it?

"Master, what do you think of Huan Yin?" the emperor asked again, still wanting to hear the opinion of the master. After all, the views of immortals are much better than those of mortals. At least this Imperial Master has been in Qingzhou for so many years and has been relied upon by the royal family.

But the Imperial Master shook his head: "Back to the Emperor, I...can't see through him at all, so I can't answer your question."

The other three people were all shocked, and they had more suspicions about Huan Yin.

After a long while, the emperor said: "There are no outsiders here, Qianlong. My throne must be passed on to you. Tomorrow I will issue an edict and make you the crown prince."

The third prince was overjoyed and knelt down to the emperor and said, "Thank you so much for your grace!"

Wei Qianlong also knelt down, but the emperor helped them up: "Qianlong fought for all this by himself, but as an emperor, I am so shameless. I don't even know what the world is like and the people are in dire straits." have no idea."

"It's just...hey..."

At this point, the emperor hesitated to speak, and the third prince was surprised: "Brother, what's the matter?"

The emperor said to the Imperial Preceptor: "National Preceptor, please tell me."

The Imperial Master looked worried and said: "According to my observations over the years, the Fifth Prince has continued to squeeze the people, and the wealth he has obtained may have long exceeded that of our palace."

"What!" The third prince stood up suddenly, with a look of shock on his face.

The Imperial Master continued: "Actually, if he is just greedy, it would be easier to deal with. But this Fifth Prince is probably a tycoon. He spent all his wealth on recruiting immortal masters. How strong is the Fifth Prince's house now? It’s so deep that even I can’t see through it.”

This Imperial Master has been assisting the emperor in Qingzhou for more than thirty years. He is extremely loyal to the emperor and has always been regarded as the person with the highest cultivation level and the strongest power in Qingzhou. At this moment, he said that he could not see through the strength of the Fifth Prince's Palace. Doesn't that mean that the Fifth Prince's Palace might already have the power to kill the king and become independent?

After all, although Qingzhou is the largest secular emperor, where in the land of Jiuzhou is not respected by absolute strength? No matter how powerful mortals are, they can't compare to monks. Therefore, one of the most important reasons why the Qingzhou Emperor has been able to continue unchanged for three thousand years is to invite immortal masters to protect the country.

Now, the national power might actually be inferior to that of the Fifth Prince and his family, and that would be really dangerous.

The emperor went on to say: "Actually, even if I didn't know about Qianlong, I would have wanted to make him the crown prince. But when the imperial master told me about the situation at Lao Wu, I hesitated. I I don’t want to see civil strife in Qingzhou, leading to a loss of reputation.”

"However, what happened this time has strengthened my determination to make Qianlong the crown prince. However, when my edict is issued tomorrow, there will definitely be action on Lao Wu's side. How to deal with this matter is a big question for me. A big problem is also a big problem for Qianlong who will become the emperor. "

The third prince's brows had long been furrowed, but Wei Qianlong said, "There is also Brother Huan. After today, he will definitely be targeted by the fifth prince's house. What should we do?"

The Imperial Master laughed and said, "If Huan Yin is really an expert, the Fifth Prince's Mansion will definitely seek his own destruction if he comes to find him. But if not, not only will his life be in danger, our situation will also be extremely bad."

The emperor said: "What the Imperial Preceptor means is that our destiny will be controlled by a person whose identity is unknown?"

The Imperial Preceptor replied: "What I mean is that now we can only protect ourselves, and Huan Yin can't help. If a disaster really comes, I will be buried with the country, and I will never run away."

…

At this moment, Huan Yin had returned to his yard.

"Ms. sir, did we get into some trouble because of that child last time?" Ruan Shushu was embroidering when she saw Huan Yin coming back and asked.

Huan Yin nodded and said, "Well, that child is the young prince and has the possibility of inheriting the throne."

Ruan Shushu smiled: "Is it okay?"

Huan Yin laughed: "If we were just ordinary people, then the problem would naturally be big. I'm afraid some Taoist friends will come to our house in the past two days, and it will be difficult to sleep well at night."

Ruan Shushu said angrily: "Since we are guests, we should treat them well."

…

It's night, and every household in Green Willow Alley in the south of the city has extinguished the lights, and it's time to fall asleep. Wei Qianlong lay quietly on a large locust tree not far from the entrance of Huanyin's courtyard, making no sound, but his eyes were extremely bright.

Wei Qianlong knew that the current situation was not good, and it was impossible for the emperor to send an immortal master to protect Huan Yin. But he really couldn't worry about Huan Yin, because he knew that the fifth prince and his son would definitely attack Huan Yin.

He had already thought that if a killer came, he would rush out to protect Huan Yin. If an immortal master comes, he will die with Huan Yin if he cannot defeat him.

In this way, Wei Qianlong lay down on the big locust tree for the whole night without moving, and naturally he never closed his eyes once. When the sky began to lighten slightly, he knew that he might be fine today, so he climbed down from the tree and walked back to his prince's mansion.

Naturally, the lives of Huan Yin and his wife had not changed at all. Soon after Wei Qianlong left, Huan Yin went out to the gate of the courtyard and began to wait for the sunrise. Then, it was a day of ordinary life, nothing more than making swords, gossiping, etc.

Mrs. Wang came to persuade Huan Yin again that day, hoping that the couple could move out immediately. Huan Yin knew that Wang Po had good intentions and greeted her with a smile, but he would not leave.

In this way, a few days passed, and Wei Qianlong still came to the big locust tree at night to lurk in these days without any fatigue. However, he still found nothing in the past few days. It seemed that the Fifth Prince's Mansion had forgotten about Huan Yin.

Although Wei Qianlong felt a little puzzled, he thought that maybe the fifth prince and his son wanted the throne, and Huan Yin was nothing in their eyes, so they didn't plan to take action against him.

If that's the case, that's certainly great. After all, given Wei Qianlong's character, Huan Yin didn't even get a chance to thank him for helping him so much. If he was killed by a bad person again, how could he feel guilty?

It was the fifth day. Wei Qianlong thought that if he still couldn't wait for anything today, maybe the Fifth Prince's Mansion was preparing for greater turmoil and had no intention of paying attention to Huan Yin's place. Therefore, he will not come here every day after today.

When it was ugly, it was the deepest part of the night. Wei Qianlong was lying on the locust tree, feeling a little drowsy. Suddenly, three black figures appeared in his field of vision.

Those three black figures were extremely blurry in the night. If Wei Qianlong hadn't always acted at night over the years and was accustomed to the darkness, he might not have been able to see them at all.

They were three people standing on the ground, and they were currently above the courtyard of Huanyin's family. Although Wei Qianlong is not a monk, he is very yearning for cultivation and knows that being able to stand in the air represents a cultivation level above the level of concentration. Such a monk is no longer a newcomer to the Immortal Sect. He is extremely powerful. If a monk at this level attacks him, he will die in an instant.

Wei Qianlong knew that the Fifth Prince had finally sent someone to attack Huan Yin. He lost all sleep in an instant, clasped his hands tightly, and kept thinking about what to do.

In fact, he has been thinking about this problem for many days. What should he do if the Fifth Prince really sends monks to attack Huan Yin?

However, after thinking for so long, he could not come up with an answer. After all, he is a mortal, and he is like an ant in front of the monks. No matter what he does, he will be stopped instantly.

"Give it a go!" Wei Qianlong made up his mind, reached behind his back, took out a curved bow, and held it in his hand. Then, he quickly nocked an arrow and shot at one of the dark figures!

Wei Qianlong decided to sacrifice himself to distract the monks. Although he knew that the plan might still fail, he couldn't just watch Huan Yin suffer.

Bows and arrows flew through the air with a gentle whistle. If a mortal was ambushed by Wei Qianlong in this darkness, he would certainly be dead. But just when the bow and arrow were about to hit the monk, the monk suddenly turned his eyes, and his eyes were as bright as two balls of flame, which shocked Wei Qianlong.

Then, the monk reached out and pointed at the bow and arrow, and the bow and arrow instantly collapsed in the air. The three monks all looked at Wei Qianlong on the big locust tree. The pressure on Wei Qianlong increased sharply, and he was suddenly out of breath.

However, the next moment, the three monks swayed and rushed directly into the small courtyard where Wei Qianlong could not see, and ignored him.

"Oops, Brother Huan!" Wei Qianlong was anxious and wanted to jump off the tree to help Huan Yin, but he suddenly found that he couldn't move at all and was actually pinned to the tree.

"Damn it!" Wei Qianlong wanted to shout loudly again, but when he opened his mouth, he found that he could only make a very weak sound of "Ahhh", as inaudible as the noise of mice at night.

In this way, even though Wei Qianlong felt infinitely depressed, he could only stay in the tree for half an hour.

Half an hour later, he found that he seemed to be slowly regaining his ability to move, and his mouth began to make the same sounds as usual. In this way, his chaotic mood finally recovered slightly.

At this moment, the three monks who entered Huanyin's courtyard still had not come out. There was not even any sound in the courtyard. They seemed to have disappeared. Nothing Wei Qianlong expected had happened.

How is this going? Wei Qianlong couldn't understand, let alone act rashly. He could only stay in the big locust tree and wait quietly.

It wasn't until the horizon became slightly brighter that Huan Yin's small courtyard door was pushed open with a creaking sound. Wei Qianlong stared away, only to see Huan Yin move a small stool outside and look around casually. He glanced at his place and said as if muttering to himself: "There are so many mosquitoes in Qingzhou City, making it difficult for people to sleep well."
