Journey to the West from Daqin

Seeing Zhao Gao's angry face, but joy in the depths of his eyes, he knew that the matter of pouring dirty water on Zhao Gao was probably brought to the table yesterday.

He said calmly, "I don't know what His Majesty's words mean."

Zhao Gao came out and said, "Stop pretending, now everyone in the street thinks that I, Zhao Gao, deliberately set Confucianism against Great Qin, and the people want to eat me."

Li Jue was taken aback for a moment, and said, "It actually happened, Mr. Zhao, did you do it on purpose?"

Zhao Gao was furious, and said: "Nonsense, you are talking nonsense, this is all your slander."

Li Jue said: "If not, then what are you afraid of, you are not afraid of the shadow slanting when you are upright, let alone you are still the official of CRRC, how can ordinary people tolerate you!?"

Zhao Gao was furious, and said: "The main reason is that I have never done it, why did you pour dirty water?"

Ying Zheng said: "Your Majesty, don't make sophistry, just tell the truth."

The tone was very cold, everyone felt that Ying Zheng was angry and Li Jue was finished.

Li Jue pretended to be wronged, and said: "Your Majesty, I have been wronged. Don't say whether Mr. Zhao did it, even if he didn't do it, let him be wronged, and then let the Confucianism obediently obey, and the people live and work in peace. Isn't that good? !?"

Zhao Gao was dumbfounded.

The officials were also dumbfounded.

Are you still wronged?

And what kind of fallacies are you talking about! ?

Ying Zheng was silent for a long time before he said, "What do you mean?"

Li Jue explained: "Master Zhao doesn't care whether he does it or not. In short, this matter has been achieved. Confucianism is willing to write sacrificial rites, and the people are grateful for His Majesty's kindness. Isn't it enough?"

Zhao Gao was angry, and said: "Then why do you involve me?"

Li Jue took a step forward and said, "Lord Zhao, is it okay for you to win the hearts of the people and Confucianism for His Majesty, and you can't be wronged at all?"

Then he shook his head and said: "At first, I thought Mr. Zhao was loyal, but it turned out that he valued his personal reputation more than His Majesty's popular support. Alas, I misunderstood you, you treacherous minister!"

Zhao Gao was so angry that he almost exploded on the spot.

Li Jue has a gun and a stick, and he turned him into a human being inside and out.

For a while, Ying Zheng didn't know what to say about Li Jue, because he actually felt that what he said made sense.

Li Si came out and said with a smile: "Could it be that the elder is a famous person, so he can be so eloquent."

The implication is that he is confounding black and white, has a glib tongue, and a white horse is not a horse.

Li Jue knew that Li Si's words were not because he was in the same rank as Zhao Gao, but probably just because he didn't want to see him become bigger and help the Legalists.

He clasped his fists and said, "That's what Li Xiang said, anyway, I'm yellow mud falling off my crotch, and it's either shit or shit."

Li Si's tone was stagnant, what a foul language, but he showed weakness, which made him in a dilemma.

Continuing to embarrass him, it seems that he is not.

Zhao Gao was even more angry, so he could only ask Ying Zheng for help, "Your Majesty, I am loyal to Your Majesty, if I can do things for Your Majesty, let alone be notorious, even if I lose my life, I will not hesitate."

"However, Li Jue is clearly capable of doing things for His Majesty, but he still wants to smear the seriously injured minister. His intentions are really sinister. Please punish him."

He felt that this was the end of the story, and it would be unreasonable for the emperor not to punish Li Jue.

In fact, Li Jue also felt that it was time to punish him, and it was best to be dismissed from office.

Then he happened to be relaxed.

But Ying Zheng said: "Although this move by the great concubine is superfluous, it can be regarded as a great contribution, and the merits and demerits will be offset. This time, there will be no rewards or any punishment!"

At the same time, he also said: "Master Dashu, you can't do this in the future."

Zhao Gao was stunned, and he had only one thought in his mind--Lao Tzu has fallen out of favor.

Li Jue was also dumbfounded, and there was only one thought in his mind - I was disappointed.

The officials were also dumbfounded.

I was speechless for a while, and at the same time, I became more vigilant and valued Li Jue.

This time it seemed that there was no wind and no waves, the court was calm, and the two sides tied and shook hands to make peace.

In fact, it was Li Jue who won the victory.

Because, Li Jue didn't lose anything, and Zhao Gao's goal was not achieved.

Chapter 270 IX Entering Mount Tai, Ginseng Essence

the next few days.

Confucian people are fasting and bathing, and preparing sacrificial rites.

Li Jue entered Mount Tai, specifically searching for places that the Xuanjia army had missed, choosing places that were inaccessible and where immortals were extinct.

Even the places where animals and birds can't go are the places he often visits.

but.

Days passed and he still found nothing.

Mount Tai is really too big, even if Li Jue swept all these places with his spiritual sense, he still didn't find anything unusual.

On the contrary, many masters were found. These masters wanted to find Qilin in Mount Tai, and they didn't know about the Heavenly Book.

Li Jue didn't dare to tell the Earth Mountain God, after all, the fewer people who knew about it, the better.

He repeatedly asked the Earth Mountain God if there was still a place on Mount Tai, and it might be the place where Zhang Daoling lamented and preached in the past.

However, even if he searched and searched for places like Wangtianya, he still couldn't find them.

Li Jue had no choice but to let the emperor continue to strengthen patrols and help him check the place, otherwise, he might not be able to find it after staying here for a year or so.

however.

Ying Zheng didn't want to continue the investigation like this anymore. Someone had seen the unicorn, but he couldn't find it, so he planned to go directly to Mount Tai to record his merits.

He always thought that he was the emperor, and the unicorn had spirits, so he would definitely come out and surrender when he saw this.

That being the case, why continue to look for it.

Li Jue was speechless. He didn't expect the emperor to be so confident, but it seemed to be more in line with Ying Zheng's ideas.

Just when he was helpless, he found a group of people arguing in Mount Tai.

He didn't want to pay attention to it, but he actually knew someone in that group, and they all knew each other, and their strength was not weak.

These people are looking at the horizon from the top of Mount Tai. This place is already at the top, but there are still tenacious vegetation.

Several people are confronting each other, one of them is Patriarch Bodhidharma, and the other two are also acquaintances.

One is Sword Saint Gai Nie, who went to the mountains to cultivate out of boredom, and he also hoped that if he met a unicorn, he would directly kill and drink blood and eat meat, so that he might be able to increase his skill.

The other person was a man in black, wearing a bamboo hat and hiding his secrets, but Li Jue recognized the identity of this person, it was Xu Fu who had disappeared for several years.

Xu Fu's skill is much stronger than before, and now he is in the lower realm of refining the deity and transforming the virtual, which is equivalent to the seventh level of a real person.

After Li Jue's suggestion, Gai Nie has already reached the seventh level of a real person, the same realm as Xu Fu.

However, Gai Nie is obviously a fighting genius, with superb swordsmanship, and his swordsmanship has become even more brilliant with Li Jue's guidance.

And Li Jue also taught him some other practices, which gave him an advantage in combat.

If Xu Fu confronts him head-on, even though his realm is comparable, Gai Nie may be able to kill him instantly.

but.

Xu Fu's ability to use medicines is superb, and he might have already started taking medicines when the three parties confronted each other.

It can kill people directly and invisible without sound or breath.

The second is that Xu Fu seems to know a lot of strange Taoism, all of which are superb and unpredictable.

If Gai Nie couldn't kill him head-on, he might suffer a big loss.

but.

Although the two were afraid of each other, they did not regard each other as real opponents, because their opponent was the more powerful Patriarch Bodhidharma.

With the strength of Patriarch Bodhidharma, I am afraid that he is already invincible under mortals, and he is in the upper realm of refining the gods and transforming the virtual.

Moreover, Patriarch Bodhidharma's physical body is very powerful. He seems to have practiced Tantric horizontal kung fu, and Li Jue saw some shadows of dragon and elephant magical skills in it.

In fact, when Li Jue first met Bodhidharma and Xiang Yu, he felt some aura of dragon and elephant magic from them, but he was not sure.

It is estimated that they have all practiced these exercises, but they must not be as strong as his practice.

However, whether it is Xiang Yu or Bodhidharma, they have already cultivated to the extreme of mortals, and if mortals can't come out, they are probably the leaders.

Gai Nie and Xu Fu are still jealous of each other, but they don't know that they may not be the opponent of Bodhidharma together.

The three had a dispute, and they were extremely jealous of each other.

Li Jue was lying on his stomach nearby, hiding his aura, but they didn't notice it at all.

Even a snake crawled across Li Jue's body and a few birds stood there, but they didn't find any difference between him and the earth.

Gai Nie said: "I saw that ginseng tree first, and it's a little too much for the two of you to come to fight for it. Do you think that someone's Yuanhong sword is not sharp enough?"

Gai Nie glanced coldly at the two of them, holding his sword in front of him.

Bodhidharma laughed and said, "Amitabha, my Buddha is merciful. The ten thousand year old ginseng has become a living being. If you want to kill it and take it, it will really hurt the peace of heaven."

Gai Nie snorted coldly: "Stop talking nonsense, what qualifications do you, a foreign monk, have to be hypocritical?"

"Didn't you use it to refine and improve your cultivation after you captured it? Don't say no, otherwise, how could your cultivation be so strong!?"

Bodhidharma smiled and said: "The poor monk is practicing Buddhism, so he has achieved today's attainments. If the incense master thinks that the poor monk is desirable, why not follow the poor monk to practice, and he will be able to achieve great fortune in the future."

Gai Nie smiled disdainfully, and said: "My master has said that you monks are hypocritical. Following him, I can clearly feel that my strength has improved. Following you monks, I might as well die."

Bodhidharma's face changed slightly, knowing that he was talking about Li Jue.

Then he frowned, feeling a little puzzled in his heart, Gai Nie was so powerful, and Li Jue seemed to be just a refining spirit.

How can Gai Nie be so obedient and think of the master! ?

Da Mo said: "Dare to ask Xiangzhu, why did you recognize Dashu as a master and not go to the emperor?"

Gai Nie said: "I still have a grudge with the emperor, it would be fine if I didn't kill him, but it's impossible for me to take refuge in him."
