Teng Luo took great pains for his destiny. In order to provoke a war, he spread the destiny, let Dugu Qi fall into the quagmire, and helped him to overthrow Lian Guo. His position seemed to belong to no side. It is hard to imagine his ending. 1551 said , Dugu Qi finally cut off Teng Luo's head.

Tao Mujia touched his neck, feeling that it was chilly there.

He thought for a while, and asked 1551: Now, if I treat him well, will it make him no longer want to rebel?Wouldn't that have changed the destiny?

1551: The old rules, change your fate against the sky, and pay the price.

Tao Mujia looked at the pile of ashes lying in the small brazier and was silent for a long time.

"Changing fate against the sky..."

Thinking carefully about the first world, stomach cancer hurts to death, which is a bit tragic, and then thinks about the second world, where steel bars are pierced through the abdomen, it is even more tragic, so he decided, of course, he must unswervingly change his fate against the sky.

"Come on, let's die. Even if you don't change your life against the sky, you will be beheaded. It's better not to do anything, but to fight against the fate to the end." Tao Mujia brainwashed himself expressionlessly, but he still felt a little nervous Fear, fear of death is an instinct, even if you know that you can be resurrected continuously, you will still be afraid of the pain before death.

1551: Come on!

There was a knock on the door, it was already meal time, and it was time for Tao Mujia to eat, thinking of having something to eat, Tao Mujia's mood improved a lot, he put aside the matter of fate, and followed the servants to the main room .

In the end, the meal was not as rich as Tao Mujia expected, probably because he needed to listen to God's will. The meal was very light. Tao Mujia looked around and couldn't find even a piece of meat.

Tao Mujia couldn't express his dislike in front of the servants, he was thinking about how to add a meal for himself, when there was a sudden commotion outside.

The chief eunuch in the palace came in with two attendants, first bowed to Tao Mujia in a neutral manner, and then asked the young eunuch to bring the things.

A shapeless object on a wooden plate was covered with a red cloth.

"Master of the State, this is specially entrusted by His Majesty to the Lord of the State, please take it away."

"What is this?"

"Master Guoshi will know when he opens it later. It's getting late, so I will leave first and leave."

Tao Mujia waved to the servants to see them off, and when the eunuch left, he immediately lifted the red cloth, and there were a pair of big pig's feet on the tray.

Gao Leng's expression almost froze, Tao Mujia didn't understand Lian Cha's meaning, does pig's trotter have a special meaning in this era?Tao Mujia humbly asked 1551 for advice.

1551: It's nothing, he's just calling you a pig's trotter.

Tao Mujia was stunned by this fashionable gift-giving method, and asked his servants to cook the pig's trotters as an extra meal.

The servant looked in disbelief: "But sir, the gods will blame you."

"Since it's a reward from His Majesty, it's hard to let it down, let's cook it."

The servant brought the pig's trotter into the kitchen with trembling hands, muttering in a low voice that the gentleman was angry with His Majesty again.

With Lian Cha's "big gift", Tao Mujia wrinkled his face and moved his chopsticks quickly, thinking that although Lian Cha's behavior was weird, he was still considerate.

After eating and drinking, Tao Mujia went to Tiange to study some knowledge of this era, and did not go to bed until midnight.

The next day Maoshi was going to court, so he had to get up at Yinshi and put on the complicated robes. Tao Mujia was grateful for his serious lack of sleep, sat in the carriage and yawned, barely sleeping for two quarters of an hour. And dragging a long robe to enter the majestic palace gate, stepping up the 99 steps of white jade ladder.

Lian Cha was still wearing that black robe, but he was no longer as crazy as yesterday. He was sitting noble and dignified on the pure gold chair.He squinted at the two rows of courtiers under the stage, and then began to sleep with his eyes open. Tao Mujia was standing on the left of Lian Cha, also sleeping with half-closed eyes. In the entire court hall, only a few officials could be heard chirping about the situation in various places.

There are droughts in some places, floods in some places, and man-made disasters in some places. In short, there are always problems in Lian country.Whenever the emperor didn't make up his mind, some people began to ask the national teacher's opinion.

Tao Mujia was about to fall asleep, but was woken up suddenly, and after getting a general understanding of the situation, he began to worry again.

He didn't know how to deal with these things, especially when these officials asked him about natural disasters.

If he is to come up with a set of theories, it must be an impact on the existing policies. Yesterday, Lian Cha clearly expressed his concern for his arrogance. He can't stick his head out to catch stones.

He thought for a while, and started talking nonsense in a serious manner, saying that the gods were dissatisfied and asked the emperor to personally hold a sacrifice to the heavens, and the time was set at Bailu.

After hearing what he said, Lian Cha finally opened his eyes, and looked at him meaningfully. For a moment, Tao Mujia felt that he was sunken, but Lian Cha had just woken up.

"The national teacher has spoken, so let's settle the matter like this. If you have nothing to do, you can leave the court." Lian Cha got up and left the hall on his own.

All the ministers kowtowed, Tao Mujia didn't want to kneel down, but fortunately he told him that the national teacher never needs to kneel down, only bows.

This morning trip only took less than half an hour, and Lian Cha was much more efficient than the eloquent leaders of big companies.

Tao Mujia supported his cheeks to prevent himself from yawning, and followed the courtiers out slowly.

When approaching the gate of the palace, yesterday's eunuch approached from the side.

"My lord, Your Majesty's Imperial Garden welcomes you."

Tao Mujia gave a jolt, and immediately regained consciousness, without asking any more questions, he followed the eunuch to the imperial garden.

The scenery in the imperial garden is still good, although the yellow leaves are bleak, but fortunately surrounded by autumn chrysanthemums, they are still lush.Lian Cha stood under the cypress tree with his hands behind his back, with his back to Tao Mujia, staring at Zhaohua Palace.

The eunuch led Tao Mujia to the door and let Tao Mujia go alone.

"What is Your Majesty looking for?" Tao Mujia stood three meters away from Liancha, waiting for an answer.

Lian Cha turned around and was a little displeased to see him standing so far away. He pointed to the stone table beside him and asked Tao Mujia to sit down.

"Yesterday, the lonely messenger gave you a pair of pig's trotters, what do you think?" Lian Cha joked.

Tao Mujia expressionless: "It's okay."

Seeing his neither annoyed nor happy appearance, Lian Cha immediately lost interest and changed the subject with a serious expression.

"There is still half a month to select new apprentices. Does the Master have any plans?" Lian Cha personally poured him a cup of tea, which is already an honor for ordinary officials, but Tao Mujia didn't feel honored at all. .

Probably Teng Luo himself was used to this, Tao Mujia drank the teacup, and Liancha didn't mind.

Regarding the selection of Sitian Pavilion, Tao Mujia did some research last night, that is, some people were selected from the disciples of the palace to be trained in Sitian Pavilion, which is regarded as the selection of the successor of the national teacher. This matter is completely based on the existing system of the Lian Kingdom. Besides, it belongs to the privilege of the national teacher.

At that time, Tao Mujia thought that the theocracy, which was separated from the royal power, could go hand in hand with the entire national system. Sooner or later, it would be eradicated by the royal power, either now or in the future.

He took a sip of tea, thoughtfully.

"Does Your Majesty have any suggestions on this matter?"

"I remember that the child you rescued yesterday was named Dugu Qi. I thought you had some plans. After all, you never asked me to kill him."

When Dugu Qi was mentioned, Tao Mujia became a little vigilant, and looked up at him, "I also said that he is useful to you."

Lian checked his appearance but didn't say anything, instead he frowned and waved his hands, "It's alright, alright, don't look at me like this, I'm asking you to provoke you, treat me as an enemy all day long."

Tao Mujia actually saw a trace of bitterness from his half-down face.

"His Majesty……"

"Okay, get out, I don't want to see you now."

Tao Mujia didn't know how Teng Luo got along with Lian Cha before, he really felt that he couldn't stand it, he was a bit capricious.

He got up to leave, and hurriedly walked out of the palace, not wanting to stay for a moment longer.

Silence returned to the imperial garden, only the rustling sound of the leaves being blown by the wind. Lian Cha, who lowered his head halfway, raised his head to look in the direction where Tao Mujia left. At this time, he could no longer see his back, but he was still fascinated.

The chief eunuch Gao Liu leaned down and whispered in his ear: "Your Majesty, everyone has left, don't look at it."

Lian Cha came back to his senses and gave him a sideways glance, got up and left the imperial garden.

There is still a long distance between the imperial garden and the palace gate. Tao Mujia met Dugu Qi at a corner. There was a holly plant there. Dugu Qi hid behind wearing an old jacket. When he saw Tao Mujia coming, he jumped directly to in front of him.

Dugu Qi was sallow and thin, wrapped in an old jacket and looked very petite, with a gloomy look on his face.

Tao Mujia thought that Dugu Qi would be afraid, but he couldn't tell from his eyes.

These eyes can't be called the eyes of a young man. They are so deep that they are bottomless, revealing a coldness that repulses people thousands of miles away, but from certain angles, it makes people feel transparent.

He is an elusive person, Tao Mujia stepped forward and looked at him more carefully.

"You are the national teacher, Teng Luo, right?" The 12-year-old's hoarse voice, with an extremely cold tone, asked Dugu Qi looking up at him.

"Yes." Tao Mujia also maintained a cold demeanor, answering his question.

"Three years ago, you predicted the fate of the heavens and decided that I was a disaster star. Emperor Lian punished me and escorted me and my mother and concubine here. It took three years before I saw you."

These words should have been gnashed, but Dugu Qi was stating the facts calmly, without showing any signs of excitement. If he was not heartless, then his tolerance was far beyond ordinary people.

Since Dugu Qi is a man of destiny, he naturally does not belong to the former type, so it is really scary to have such a mentality at this age.

"The concubine mother said, you are our enemy, so I must not forget you and my hatred."

Tao Mujia thought of Fu Hongxue in "The Prodigal Son of the Frontier Town", day after day, year after year, he was indoctrinated by his mother with the idea of ​​revenge.

But people should not be a tool, let alone a tool of revenge. Tao Mujia does not want Dugu Qi to be a tool of destiny, let alone a tool of revenge.

"Do you want to take revenge now?" If it can relieve Dugu Qi's burden, it's okay to sacrifice now, not to mention he has prepared a back move.

But Dugu Qi shook his head firmly, and what he said was even more unexpected.

"I'm here to thank you. Concubine Mu said that those things are delicious. Although I stole them from the imperial dining room, it's a dream come true."

"Then do you still want revenge in the future?"

"If I say yes, will you kill me?" In Dugu Qi's words, there is a maturity that does not belong to this age, but it also cannot escape the immaturity of this age.

Tao Mujia could feel his fear, not obvious, very small, but Tao Mujia saw the trembling of his hands hidden under the sleeves.

After all, he is only 12 years old. He can endure all kinds of suffering and torture, but it doesn't mean he is fearless. When life is still in the hands of others, despair and fear will always be entangled in him.

Tao Mujia suddenly wanted to reach out and pat the young man on the shoulder, telling him not to be afraid, not to worry, everything will be fine with him in the future, but he just raised his hand slightly, and the system issued a warning.

Tao Mujia lowered his hand and clenched it into a fist, and said to Dugu Qi indifferently: "If you want revenge, you must have strength. I can give you a chance. Sitian Pavilion will be selected in half a month. I hope you will not let yourself down."

Dugu Qi's tense face became a little dazed, and he didn't turn around until Tao Mujia walked past him, but Tao Mujia walked so fast that he could only see a thin figure from his back.

He clenched his trembling fists, gritted his teeth, and his eyes showed a kind of joyful emotion, but he quickly calmed down, looked around, and after making sure no one saw him, he immediately took a small path and left.

The author has something to say:
