Capture

The moment on the side is to move forward silently, he understands his master, even if he is silent, he should have his own plan.

When Linshui first arrived at the palace, he learned shocking news.Emperor Huai passed away, and the new emperor has also ascended the throne.So, that is to say, Gong Xihua... has finally become the lord of the underground palace and country as she always wished?

I don't know what it feels like in my heart.Linshui walked towards his own courtyard in the palace, but his disturbed mood made his mind go blank, and his steps became chaotic and fuzzy.

"Your honor."

One is not paying attention, and the person hits the object in front.He didn't feel any pain, instead he was steadied while staggering.Looking up, he smiled apologetically. "No, I'm sorry." I couldn't explain why I was distracted even when I was walking.

"Your honor."

It seems that Wu really doesn't like to talk and is not good at talking, but it's strange that Linshui can see the worry in the other party's heart from the frowning expression of the other party.

"I'm fine, I'm just a little tired." After rushing all the way back to the palace from the mountain, and with the series of tests in the cave before, it was only natural that he would be tired.It's nothing, I'm afraid it's hard work to stay with me all the time. "Go back and rest first, it will be fine here."

Wu shook his head, his responsibility was to follow His Majesty.For a lifetime, never leave.This is also the plan that I have made a long time ago.

Linshui naturally wouldn't understand his mind.Linshui only thought that he was stubbornly staying by his side for his own sake, and he was unwilling to rest even when he was tired.So he explained it patiently, but obviously, Wu's stubbornness was more serious than Linshui imagined.

"Hey." He stroked his forehead helplessly and rubbed his forehead.Linshui smiled helplessly, and subconsciously said the words: "It's really similar. If it weren't for the terrible marks on your face, I would have definitely identified you as that person." Even stubbornness and the two Brothers are so similar.

"..." Wu closed his eyes, but didn't know how to answer.

"It seems that I disturbed the two of you."

The sudden sound made Linshui and Wu look at the sound at the same time. The person who came was not an unfamiliar face, but Ji Fan, the left prime minister of the underground palace.

"So it's Lord Zuoxiang." Linshui opened the distance between Wu and Wu without any trace.In his opinion, it was not because he was afraid of Ji Fan's misunderstanding, but because he didn't want Wu to get too close to him, so that Wu would be dragged down by him.

One must know that Gong Xihua is now the ruler of the underground palace, judging from his attitude towards himself in the past, it is not impossible to take this opportunity to do something.It's just that the current self is not what it used to be, and will no longer be influenced by any factors.Because he understood Yanfeng's feelings for him, he was fearless.

It is also for my own benefit to succeed the national teacher. While sharing the burden with Yanfeng, it also allows the master to return to Longwu Mountain with peace of mind.And with the right to be a national teacher, Gong Xihua couldn't use his power to play around with him.

Since Ji Fan will appear here, does it mean that Gong Xihua is also nearby?

Thinking of this, Lin Shui narrowed his eyes involuntarily, and a distant smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Since Mr. Zuo Xiang has appeared here, the emperor must be nearby, right?"

Unexpectedly, as soon as Linshui's words came out, Ji Fan burst into laughter: "Hahaha, Mr. National Teacher. You really made a mistake and guessed wrong this time. First, the emperor and I are both ministers and friends. , but this does not mean that I have to be by his side all the time, after all, I am not one of his shadow guards. Second, the emperor is not in the palace at the moment, but I have sent someone to inform him that the master of the country has returned to the palace. He must be hurrying on his way back to the palace right now."

Linshui was not annoyed, but heard some doubts from Ji Fan's mouth. "The new emperor left the palace not long after he ascended the throne?" What exactly caused Gong Xihua to make such an abrupt move?

Ji Fan is such a smart person, when he heard the other party's question, he immediately guessed what Linshui was thinking.The relaxed smile on his face gradually faded, then he looked at Wu behind Linshui, and then turned to Linshui.

"Master National Teacher, if possible, can I talk to you?" Yes, this is the purpose of his coming here at this moment.Originally, it was not necessary for him to have personal contact with Shen Linshui, but the situation is different now, perhaps it is the most critical crossing that will test the life and death of the whole country in the underground palace, so he must figure out this matter.

"If it's Wu, Lord Zuo doesn't need to mind. He is the leader of 'Yu'." Lin Shui's meaning is very clear, Wu is one of his own, and there is no need to deliberately avoid it.What's more, even if you don't evade, the other party may not really obey you.After all, from another perspective, Wu's identity and himself are just mutual restraints, not absolute obedience.

"Yu?" Ji Fan was taken aback for a moment, but after showing a little shock, he finally turned into a smile. "Congratulations, Mr. Guoshi, this help is also the luck of the underground palace."

Lin Shui raised his eyebrows, and thought: What a Ji Fan, even at this moment he doesn't forget to put a high hat on himself, just to gain more strength for the underground palace.Forget it, since I have accepted the position of the national teacher, I won't procrastinate any more.

"Then what does Master Zuo Xiang want to say to Shen?" Lin Shui always felt that based on the friendship between Ji Fan and Gong Xihua, Ji Fan must also know something about Gong Xihua and himself.And under such circumstances, Ji Fan would choose to take the initiative to come to him, it seems that what he wanted to talk about definitely did not want Gong Xihua to know.

Although he knew Wu's identity, Ji Fan still glanced at Wu anxiously.

"Don't blame me for not reminding Mr. Zuo Xiang, time waits for no one. Besides, you said that the emperor is already on his way back to the palace. Could it be that you want to wait for the emperor to come and 'discuss the big plan' with you and me?"

Ji Fan smiled awkwardly, and followed Linshui into the courtyard.It seems that Shen Linguo really can't be underestimated, and he might have already guessed his own thoughts.

Ji Fan and Linshui took their seats in the atrium, while Wu Ze, who had been following Linshui, disappeared at some point and hid in the dark.Therefore, at this moment, from a distance, it seems that there are only two people sitting opposite each other.

"Master Zuoxiang, wise people don't speak secretly. If there is anything you want to tell me, it doesn't matter."

Ji Fan remained silent, but looked straight at Linshui's expression, sighed for a while, and then said quietly: "If possible, I don't want to come here to find you without telling Xihua. But, if I miss This time, I'm afraid I won't find another chance."

"What? How do you say that?" Hearing that Ji Fan's tone seemed quite heavy, Linshui's heart was inexplicably nervous.I always feel that the other party's topic has nothing to do with me.

"Master Guoshi, even if I don't know much about your relationship with the emperor, I am not ignorant."

really!Linshui looked at Ji Fan, the smile on his face gradually turned cold. "What do you want to say?" I don't want to talk nonsense with him anymore, what is the person in front of me trying to tell.

"The emperor disbanded the harem."

what?

Because of such a short sentence, Linshui was completely stunned.

"Do you know what this means? Since the founding of the underground palace... no, it has never been done since the founding of the dynasty on this continent. Disbanding the harem means that there will be no wives and concubines in this body, no There will be heirs, but there will be no heirs... It also means that the marriage of other countries will no longer exist between the underground palace and the dynasty, and the excuse of other countries raising troops will be one more point. It also means that our emperor, his majesty, he is against a People's persistence, even at the expense of tampering with the teachings of the ancestors, and at the expense of offending the ruling and opposition officials."

When Ji Fan said this, he let himself take a breath, then looked at Linshui quietly, and said word by word: "Shen Linshui, what virtue and ability do you have to let Xihua do this for you!"

"You know, when he just came to the throne, his foundation is still unstable, but he did not hesitate to turn against the Queen Mother because of you. Although he kept saying that it was to consolidate his own power, he has been standing by his side and watching him step by step to the current me. He understood most clearly that he left his fate to the heavens. That night, Ruo Feisha and the others felt in time that maybe Gong Xihua would no longer exist in this world during that palace change. When you confess, you always let you know his purpose, let you see his selfishness, and understand his deception. But have you ever thought, if he really wants to deceive, how can you know everything? How can you be so clear? I don’t know why you accepted the succession of the position of national teacher, but if all this is just to take revenge, then I, Ji Fan, will never sit idly by.”

Linshui's always dull pupils gathered brilliance at this moment, and he looked back at Ji Fan, letting the other party's words stop halfway.

"will not."

Ji Fan was taken aback for a moment, then seemed to understand, and eased his tense face.Suddenly, he changed to respect again: "Master National Teacher's ability is the blessing of the people of our underground palace. I implore you to make the people of the underground palace happy. Stay in the court and help the emperor to create a glorious dynasty together. If you can For this reason, I have no regrets in this life." Ji Fan knelt down to Linshui respectfully as he spoke.

Linshui reflexively wanted to reach out to stop him, but was stopped halfway.

"Since Ji Aiqing is so righteous, if the national teacher does not abandon her, then she shouldn't stop her."

head sideways.The man dressed in bright yellow and imposing looks seemed to have been drenched in the rain for a long time, and his cheeks were still stained with wet drops, but his natural majesty did not diminish.

No.60 Back to Demon War

However, I haven't seen her for a few days, and the feeling of the man wearing the dragon robe at Linshui is completely different from that of Gong Xihua in the past.Putting away the shock in his eyes, Linshui took a step back and opened the distance between them.

"Your Majesty." Ji Fan gave up and stood up from the ground.He casually patted the dust on the hem of the robe, facing Gong Xihua instead of the respect he had just shown Linshui.

"I wanted to come and meet me in person
