After listening to the words of the woman in front of him, Wu Sheng lowered his head and thought for a moment. It was impossible for him to leave Hailing City with Xiaoye and his brother.

He is a monk himself, with roots in Lanruo Temple. This matter cannot be known to outsiders.

"It's impossible for me to take you out of Hailing City."

"Please, Master, we can do anything." Xiaoye continued to beg.

Wu Sheng shook his head. This girl's idea was too simple and too arbitrary.

"I am a cultivator, and I can travel thousands of miles in a day. How about you, can you keep up?" Just this simple sentence made Xiaoye freeze for a moment.

Yes, there is actually a huge gap between mortals and practitioners.

"During the time I was in Hailing City, you were very considerate of me. I have remembered it in my heart. All I can say is that I will ask someone to take care of you two siblings and try not to let you be wronged." This is nothing I can do.

The most appropriate method that comes to mind.

"Thank you, sir." This Xiaoye is not a person who doesn't know how to advance or retreat, and she doesn't dare to do so.

She knew that the young man in front of her had a good heart, so he dared to say such words just now. It was already the most benevolent thing for him to say a word of help.

At the Hailing Mansion, Liang Dongtai, the deputy commander of Wu Yingwei, called a man in his fifties or sixties, wearing official uniform.

"Yi Ge, where did the prince's poison come from? Even the prince's cultivation in the towering realm cannot withstand it."

"Sir Huiliang's words, according to the officials below, may be a strange poison from the southwestern witchcraft." Dr. Ge said after pondering for a moment.

"Witch religion?" Liang Dongtai frowned slightly after hearing this.

"Yes, the poison that the prince was poisoned by should be the poison of witchcraft. The typical characteristic after poisoning is that the complexion is as pale as gold. It is said that this poison is made from the poisonous blood of the Southwest Poison Dragon and several kinds of highly toxic substances.

It can even threaten human beings."

"Then has Dr. Ge found out how the prince was poisoned?"

"It has been found out through the prince's daily tea drinking."

"Tea?"

"Yes, we checked the prince's daily diet and found this poison in a jar of spiritual tea. It was very subtle."

"What tea?"

"Baifeng Lingcha."

"Baifeng Lingcha?" After hearing this, Liang Dongtai couldn't help but reach out and rub his forehead.

The witchcraft religion has an unclear relationship with the King of Shu in the southwest. Baifeng Lingcha is a famous specialty of Jingzhou, which is the fiefdom of the King of Chu. The relationship between this is really...

Liang Dongtai didn't want to take a trip into this muddy water, but it was difficult to survive. Now, the more he investigates, the more trouble he gets.

"When will the prince's body recover and when will he be able to enter the capital?"

"If nothing happens, the prince will be able to recover in as little as five days or three days."

"Okay, here comes Dr. Lao Ge."

"This is all a matter of official rank."

After Dr. Ge left, Liang Dongtai let out a long sigh.

The water in Hailing City is really muddy!

In the Bafang Tower, Wu Sheng hosted a banquet for Wei Ming.

"Sir, you must have something to do with me. Just tell me. I will never refuse if I can do it."

Since Wu Sheng came to Bafanglou, Wei Ming's status has also increased. Moreover, when he accompanied Wu Sheng, it was not all about chatting. He would also ask Wu Sheng some questions about cultivation, which was somewhat fruitful. After all, Wu Sheng is in the towering realm.

A great monk stands high and can see far. A little guidance may save him from many detours.

"There is really something that needs your attention." Wu Sheng told Wei Ming about Xiao Ye.

"Don't worry about this, sir. As long as Wei is here, he will definitely protect the safety of their siblings!"

Wei Ming was a little worried just now, thinking Wu Sheng was arranging something difficult, but it turned out to be this.

In Hailing City, Wei Ming still had some respect, so protecting two people was not a problem. At the same time, he also heard the hidden meaning behind Wu Sheng's words.

I don’t plan to stay in Hailing City for a long time!

Sure enough, this time the prince's matter has made many people suspicious, and several distinguished guests have already left Bafanglou.

"Sir, are you planning to leave Hailing City?"

"I may have to leave for a while, but I will come back." Wu Sheng didn't hide anything.

Wei Ming couldn't help but look a little sad after hearing this.

The presence or absence of the person in front of him in Hailing City actually has a great influence on him. Who in Bafanglou doesn't know that he, Wei Ming, invited a great monk? Because of this, he has his current status. Once Wu Sheng leaves, what will happen?

Just two words.

In the Prince's bedroom in Donghai Palace, there is a person standing by the bed, wearing a simple robe, looking like a scholar.

"Your Majesty, there is a letter from the capital. After the imperial edict was issued, only Prince An returned to the capital within the specified date. The other princes were all delayed, and they have all reported to the court."

"What did your father say?"

"You must go to Beijing within five days, otherwise your title will be revoked, your fiefdom will be taken back, and you will be brought to justice by the clan government."

"Well, as expected sir, this is indeed the trick. After the imperial edict was issued, no one entered the capital on time. My father must be very angry at this moment, right?"

"It's hard for the prince to shirk this time. I estimate that several other princes will also come to Beijing. After delaying it for a few days, I'm afraid the other princes will also make arrangements."

"Then get ready to go to Beijing. We have almost made arrangements in the past few days." King Donghai took a deep breath.

"It's just that when I go to Beijing this time, it may not be so easy to come back." There was worry in his eyes.

Two days later, King Donghai left Hailing City and entered Beijing.

Liang Dongtai, the deputy commander of the Wu Ying Guards, led a group of Wu Ying Guards to protect the prince's safety.

On this day, the sky was overcast and it was drizzling.

After Wu Sheng heard the news, he came to the palace to see the prince off. No matter what the prince's plans were, Wu Sheng was indeed treated well and he should come over because of his kindness and reason.

When he saw the King of East China Sea again, his complexion had returned to its original state, and he was slightly startled when he saw Wu Sheng approaching.

"I didn't expect sir to come."

"I heard that Your Majesty is going to travel far, so I came here to see you off. I wish Your Majesty a safe journey."

"I would like to thank you sir, and I will have a drink with you after I return from the capital."

"Okay." Wu Sheng nodded in agreement.

The team escorting King Donghai to Beijing left Hailing City and drifted away.

"I'm afraid it won't be so easy to come back this time, right?" Wu Sheng said softly.

That night, it rained heavily.

Wu Sheng returned to Lanruo Temple overnight. On Jinding Mountain, the wind was roaring and cold rain fell.

The temple was very quiet, without any lights.

Wu Sheng was preparing to go to the delivery room when he heard footsteps. When he looked back, he saw a fat monk standing in the wind and rain, his face a little pale.

Master?

An oil lamp was lit in the Zen room.

"Master, you stayed up in the middle of the night, why did you come out? Your face doesn't look very good, and you're looking at that painting again?"

"It's not because of you. Why do you come back in the middle of the night these few times, causing me to wake up from my sleep?"

"Master set a spell in this temple?"

When Wu Sheng entered Lanruo Temple, he felt something different from usual, as if something had swept over him.

"Well, I drew a few talismans."

"Master, do you still understand this?"

"I understand a little bit." Monk Kong yawned.

"I accidentally saw it in an ancient book."

"The ancient book is so good!" Wu Sheng could not help but admire after hearing this.

"What happened in Hailing City?"

"The King of East China Sea has entered the capital."

"He has been delaying for the past few days. He must be preparing for something. This time, the imperial edict from the capital was issued very suddenly. No news was revealed at all. Several princes from other places were caught off guard. I guess they will all find ways to delay their arrival in the capital.
