When the night is deep and quiet, the moon rises above the willow trees.

After releasing Wang Gui, Xue Wanjun and Xue Wanche from the palace, His Majesty Li II, who had been sitting alone in the Taiji Hall for a long time, now came to the Imperial Garden to relax.

However, under the influence of the bright moonlight, his mood seemed even more sad.

"I...what should I do..." His Majesty Li II murmured to himself as he walked to the edge of Taiye Lake unknowingly. He happened to see the fishing rods and a stool that Li You and Li Yin had left behind when they went fishing during the day. The two brothers even remembered to enjoy some snacks while fishing - on the table next to the stool was a plate of glutinous rice cakes, which seemed to be quite fresh.

"These two rascals... are quite happy..." Emperor Li II thought of how the two brothers had come to him a few days ago because of Li Kuan's matter, and expressed their desire to learn from Wei Zheng's "die-for remonstrance", saying that he, as their father, was ungrateful. As a result, he beat them up and they have not appeared in front of him since then.

No one knew what he was thinking, but Emperor Li II walked slowly forward, picked up the fishing rod that the two brothers had casually thrown on the shore, skillfully put bait on it, threw the rod into the water, and then sat down and waited for the fish to bite.

"Bang!" - Night fishing seems to be prone to accidents. Emperor Li II fell to the ground, and then looked at the Hu stool that was obviously shorter by one leg. His heart... went from surprise to rage, and then to being at a loss whether to laugh or cry, and... felt extremely desolate.

It seemed like just a blink of an eye.

Suddenly, another clear crane call came from not far away.

"Who's there?!" Chang He, the commander of the imperial guards, who rushed over after hearing the noise, saw Emperor Li II fall to the ground and thought that there was an assassin attacking him. So without thinking, he took the bow and arrow from his subordinates, then bent the bow and shot an arrow in the direction where the sound came from - above the flower-viewing pavilion.

"Wow!" The black shadow flapped its wings a few times, and suddenly a strong wind blew, blowing the feather arrow aside.

"Shoot! Shoot!" Seeing this, Chang He hurriedly ordered several men around him to shoot arrows, and at the same time he drew his bow and string again.

"Go back!" - The one who said this was not Emperor Li II, but the old Taoist priest Zhang Yun who hurried over from the Shangshi Bureau.

The old Taoist priest in purple robes glared at Chang He angrily: "Who told you to shoot arrows?!"

Chang He saw this and didn't say anything, just bent his bow and was ready to shoot again.

"Stubborn and unrepentant! Unworthy of great use!" The old Taoist priest flicked his sleeves slightly, and Chang He, who had just put his finger on the bowstring again, felt the world turn upside down. The next moment, he flew several feet away and then fell heavily to the ground. The subordinates around him who were about to attack Da Huanghe also suffered the same fate.

"Kukuha~~Kukuha~~" After seeing this scene, the crane that fell from the pavilion flapped its wings, jumped around Zhang Yun and made strange noises. It seemed that it was very happy now.

"He Weng..." Zhang Yun was also helpless. He was about to persuade the other party to restrain himself, but the next moment, He Weng pecked him lightly on the forehead.

"..." Zhang Yun knew that his secret was still discovered by He Weng.

"Alas... Old Man Crane... you only know how to bully old Taoist priests..." Zhang Yun sighed and complained about the different fates of people of the same kind. At the same time, he took out a fried small yellow croaker wrapped in lotus leaves from his arms, spread it out and handed it to the big yellow crane.

"Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha~" At this moment the old crane was as happy as a child. He stretched out his wings and patted the old Taoist's shoulders, as if saying: Well done.

Then, it began to enjoy the delicious food.

At the same time, a large number of royal guards had arrived and surrounded this strange man and crane.

"Your Majesty, are you okay?" Chang He finally climbed up from the ground with difficulty, and then stumbled towards His Majesty Li Er.

"..." At this moment, His Majesty Li II could no longer hear any other noise.

He fixed his eyes firmly on the old Taoist priest: "Aunt Zhang..."

"I am not worthy of being called 'Aung' by your majesty," the old Taoist priest who was feeding the crane heard this and couldn't help but sneer, "Your majesty is a hero in troubled times, an emperor with supreme power. How can there be an unknown 'Aung'?"

"..." His Majesty Li Er did not expect that he had already shown an attitude of seeking peace and let Wang Gui and others go, but... the old Taoist priest came to the palace this time and seemed to still want to make things difficult for him...

"Your Majesty, are you okay? But this demon... did the old Taoist hurt you?" Chang He took advantage of the time when His Majesty Li Er was reminiscing about the past with the old Taoist priest and rushed to His Majesty Li Er's side. Because the previous experience was too embarrassing, he subconsciously... said what was in his heart...

"Don't be so presumptuous!" Emperor Li II looked at Chang He in front of him with anger: "Go, apologize to the old Heavenly Master!"

"I'll go right away..." Upon hearing this, Chang He hurriedly walked towards the old Taoist priest.

"No need." Zhang Yun looked at Chang He who was walking slowly towards him and waved his hand impatiently: "Li Erlang, let these irrelevant people leave! I will just chat with you for a few minutes and then leave."

"All of you leave!" Upon hearing this, Emperor Li II immediately ordered everyone to leave, but he still believed that due respect should be given: "Chang He, you apologize first!"

“Well…” Chang He did not dare to neglect the words. Although he had already made countless guesses about the old Heavenly Master’s identity, he bowed to the old Heavenly Master with great respect: “Old Heavenly Master… I am sorry for offending you just now…”

"Did you offend the old Taoist? You offended He Weng!" The old Taoist priest was immediately dissatisfied when he heard this: "Oh... I didn't expect that you look honest, but you are so cunning."

"Kacha~kacha~" Suddenly, the crane beside flapped its wings, jumped a few times on the spot, and then turned around and flew into the night sky.

"..." The old Taoist priest was actually quite speechless at this moment, because he found that since He Weng followed His Royal Highness the King of Chu, it seemed that even his personality had a tendency to develop in the direction of His Royal Highness the King of Chu...

Just now, He Weng told him: this matter is not over yet, and they do not intend to ask Chang He for an apology, but are going to wait for the return of His Royal Highness the King of Chu, and then have His Royal Highness the King of Chu teach a lesson to the "big bad guy" who "bullied" them - Chang He.

Ok……

This happened quite suddenly...

"Your Majesty..." Chang He, who had no idea that he was in big trouble, apologized and turned to look at His Majesty Li Er: "Your Majesty..."

"Okay, you can leave now..." His Majesty Li Er, who had been embarrassed from morning till night today, was in a much worse mood than Chang He: "I have something to talk to the old Heavenly Master alone."

"Yes." Chang He breathed a sigh of relief after receiving the pardon order, and then left with his royal guards.
