Chapter 691: The old story of the demon is new
Pei Yunqi took a deep breath, she thought silently for a while, and then asked, "With our current military information transmission speed, how many days will it take to be delivered to his hands?"
He Hai thought to himself, "It's too far from Gaimu City, the limit is six days, and it's normal for about seven days."
"It will take half a month to go back and forth at the earliest." Pei Yunqi shook his head, "I don't think that the soul-moving array of those people had been arranged long ago."
He Haixin nodded.
With the power of cultivators that Pei Yunqi can call now, it is very easy to quietly clean up those people, but the most important thing now is to figure out the prince’s real calculations.
Pei Yunqi walked out the door and first asked someone to bring the boiled tonic soup in, then stared at He Haixin and others while drinking. She thought quietly. If Gu Shiwu had changed here, what kind of decision would he make?
Just kill the prince?
With Gu Shiwu's personality, there is such a possibility.
But there must be someone behind the prince. If the person behind the prince cannot be revealed, if the murder of the prince is exposed, there will probably be some unpredictable consequences.
Since Gu Liubai was willing to follow his father to pick up two Jingguans, instead of killing him directly back to Chang'an to kill those who came up with this bad idea, it means that he did not want to be unscrupulous and ignore the justice of the national law.
Master Xuanqing.
These four words instantly appeared in her mind.
Ask Xuan Qing if you don’t decide.
This is Gu Liubai’s standard style in Chang'an.
As soon as she thought of this, she immediately shouted to the outside, "Help me find Zhou Lu'er."
Zhou Lu'er soon took a carriage with her and started rushing to the Big Wild Goose Pagoda.
Zhou Lu'er can sleep at any time and wake up at any time, but the key is that she is not angry at all.
Seeing Pei Yunqiu bringing a can of soup, he laughed and said, "Miss Second, are you a can of soup to make money? Do you bring it to Master Xuanqing for food? What are you making? Is it all meaty?"
"Can you still think of this layer in your donkey's head?" Pei Yunqi suddenly felt strange.
Zhou Lu'er smiled and said, "No, I thought that Master Xuanqing probably won't be calling him for midnight snacks in his life. Second Miss, don't take it for a long time, he can't eat it."
"Don't worry, he must love to eat." Pei Yunqi simply stuffed the jar into Zhou Lu'er's arms.
Zhou Lu'er suddenly let out a strange cry, "Be good, so icy, so icy?"
"A ice drink made of fragrant fruits and grape pulp, with a layer of loquat on the bottom." Pei Yunqi smiled.
"Then I have to ask Master Xuanqing for a bowl of food." Zhou Lu'er almost drooled out when she heard this.
Pei Yunxi patted the food box next to him, "With your bowl, and some rare melons, I'll ask you to come to take me into the Big Wild Goose Pagoda in the middle of the night, which will not be beneficial to you?"
Zhou Lu'er suddenly smiled so much that her eyes narrowed into a slit, "Miss Second, you have nothing to say. If you don't be the wife of the fifteenth brother, who will be the wife of the fifteenth brother? No wonder Brother Fifteenth brother takes you as the treasure."
Pei Yunqi heard it happily and couldn't help but praise him, "Zhou Lu'er, you are very good at speaking sometimes."
Zhou Lu'er smiled and said, "That's right, I feel that I'm more and more able to speak now."
Pei Yunqi glanced at him, "Zhou Lu'er, you are so proud of this."
...
The night is as bright as ink, and the outline of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda looks particularly lone under the moonlight.
When Pei Yunqi and Zhou Lu'er appeared in front of Master Xuanqing, Master Xuanqing had already given up a place in front of him.
Zhou Lu'er has come many times and knows that nothing can be hidden from Master Xuanqing. And seeing this, he knows that Master Xuanqing must have had midnight snack with him.
When he put down the jar, he couldn't help but become proud again. He looked at Master Xuanqing and said proudly, "Master Xuanqing, are Miss Pei Er and I the first Miss Pei Er to accompany you to have a midnight snack?"
Master Xuanqing couldn't help but smile, and then shook his head. He and Pei Yunqi heard Master Xuanqing's response at the same time, "You are ranked second."
Zhou Lu'er was stunned, "Why aren't it the fifteenth brother?"
Master Xuanqing shook his head, "It was many years ago, and you and your fifteenth brother were not born yet."
Pei Yunqi's heart moved and subconsciously said, "Is it Gu Shiwu's mother?"
Master Xuanqing smiled and nodded slowly.
"That's a coincidence." Zhou Lu'er smiled heartlessly, "In the past, it was Brother Fifteen's mother who invited you to have midnight snacks, but now it is Brother Fifteen's wife who invites you to have midnight snacks."
Master Xuanqing nodded slowly. He smiled and took the bowl and spoon handed over by Pei Yunqi, as if the years had passed in an instant.
The moonlight leaked in from the diamond lattice window, casting flowing silver spots on the meridian murals, and the flying clothes seemed to really float in the clouds.
Master Xuanqing drank the ice drink with a spoon, and the silver spoon gently stirred the ice drink in the bowl. The sound of crushing ice collision was as crisp as a bell.
Zhou Lu'er took the bowl and took a sip of ice drink, and her eyes suddenly lit up, "This thing is so delicious, it makes her heart feel cold."
Master Xuanqing smiled slightly, nodding as if he agreed with his words. At the same time, Zhou Lu'er and Pei Yunqiu's minds sounded, "When talking about this ice drink, I think of something that happened in Chang'an City. There was a shop next to Dongcheng City. The owner of the shop was named Zeng Mingyuan. The family made a fortune in silk business. In his generation, he also learned how to make ice cellars and make ice drinks in summer. Zeng Ji's shop's income from selling ice drinks and selling ice cubes in summer is even far more than their silk
The income of the village. One day, he suddenly invited people to the silk shop to make a fuss, saying that the "cloth demon" appeared in the silk shop. The neighbors and neighbors all thought it was strange that they had never heard of any cloth demons, so at that time, people from several nearby yards gathered at his silk shop to see the mage he invited to eliminate monsters. The mage suddenly sealed a warehouse, sealed the doors and windows with red thread, and then set fire to many people to burn the warehouse. As a result, he saw a loud shouting sound in the warehouse, and human figures twisted wildly among the burning cloth."
Zhou Lu'er widened her eyes: "Silk has really become a slim?"
Pei Yunqi frowned slightly. She was not a donkey's head, and she knew there must be hidden information.
Master Xuanqing smiled, "Actually, the truth is that Zeng Mingyuan's concubine hooked up with a man. The concubine hid the man in the warehouse. Zeng Mingyuan was used to taking stock of the warehouse alone every five days. The man hid it that day, because he had learned some martial arts, he unexpectedly captured Zeng Mingyuan in the warehouse, and then thought of some ways to ask where Zeng Mingyuan's box of rubies was hidden. It turned out that Zeng Mingyuan had some weirdness. Every time he earned a batch of silver and enough to buy a ruby, he would exchange it for rubies to save it. The concubine knew about this and knew that the box of rubies was amazing, but she just didn't know where Zeng Mingyuan was hiding it.
Unexpectedly, although the concubine and this man made such an arrangement, a friend under Zeng Mingyuan happened to hear the foot of the wall. The man told Zeng Mingyuan about this. Zeng Mingyuan quickly arranged for someone to do the ritual. The man didn't know that the matter was exposed and was blocked inside. He was afraid of being discovered, so he wrapped himself in silk and hid inside. Zeng Mingyuan first opened the warehouse to let the neighbors see that there was nothing strange inside, and then sealed the warehouse, first let the so-called mages use the incense to make the men in the warehouse faint inside, and then set fire to the warehouse directly. The man woke up when he was burned to death. It was like a monster in silk."
Zhou Lu'er tsk, "This Zeng Mingyuan is amazing. His concubine's adulterer wanted to seek money and kill him. He directly burned the adulterer to death."
Master Xuanqing responded, "In fact, this matter cannot be hidden from the official family in the end. Although Zeng Mingyuan said that he did not know that there was someone who wanted to deal with him, and a loyal servant said that he heard something inside and thought there was a monster, so he asked someone to eliminate the monster. But in the end, he secretly sent the box of rubies to others to settle the matter. However, from then on, the word "demon" in Chang'an was mentioned. There was no such thing as "demon" in the past, but now, in the story books of monsters, the word "demon" appears, and the people in the neighborhood naturally think that monsters can also be produced in the cloth."
Pei Yunqi suddenly realized when he heard this, "Master Xuanqing, so what you mean is that the prince's play may not really rely on soul transfer to accomplish anything big, but let everyone know that there is such a thing as soul transfer, so that everyone can believe that soul transfer does exist?"
Master Xuanqing did not respond, but scooped some loquats from the bottom of the jar into the bowl. When he was smiling and eating the loquats, his response came from Pei Yunqi and Zhou Lu'er's forehead, "The loquats under this are ice-filled and soaked in fragrant fruit juice. This is the best food in this ice drink."
Pei Yunqi took a deep breath, and she looked at Master Xuanqing and whispered, "So there may be a design that deals with me, but in fact, it's not like Chen Tu who happened to hit them. Maybe their design would make some mistakes on purpose. Then even if we act low-key, he might try to make the soul-shifting matter bigger. If Gu Shiwu was stimulated and did something earth-shaking, then everyone knows the so-called soul-shifting matter. If you look at it in depth, you will naturally find out the past. People will find that such an incident had occurred many years ago, and the real goal is the emperor. He wants to make people discover that the emperor has been moved by someone. He wants to make people feel that the current emperor is not the real Li family at all, but the body of Li family is occupied by someone."
Zhou Lu'er stuck out her tongue, "Does the prince want to kill me?"
Pei Yunqi frowned and said, "It is impossible to directly overthrow the emperor, but he will definitely be able to provide some evidence. If there are some people from the Li family's confidentiality, then when there are big problems with the emperor's identity, the prince raised his arms and raised an army in Qianzhou, which would be legitimate. In addition, this time, the Li family's confidentiality surrendered because of Li Chenshan's death, and the prince fell too quickly. Therefore, in the eyes of many people in the world, the sudden collapse of the prince, who had no problems in normal times, is a big problem in itself."
Zhou Lu'er even made the donkey's head this time, "Miss Second, then everyone thinks that the prince's rebellion makes sense."
Pei Yunqiu looked at Master Xuanqing just slowly eating ice drinks and stopping talking. She knew that this was the case.
