In the main hall of Jiming Temple, the sun shines into the main hall and shines on the emperor's face, but it cannot shine into his heart.

Yao Daoyan disappeared, and the only one left here was the emperor. What Yao Daoyan said just now seemed to be still in his ears. The emperor was sitting on the futon, facing the Buddha who saved all sentient beings. He didn't know what to think. something.

In the backyard of Jiming Temple, the imperial concubine, led by a palace maid, came to a courtyard to rest, waiting for the emperor to come back. However, the emperor did not wait, but an old monk came.

"I have met the imperial concubine."

Yao Daoyan wore blue cloth shoes on his feet and kept turning the Buddhist beads in his hands as he saluted the imperial concubine.

The imperial concubine, who had only met the old monk once in her life, remembered the appearance of this "Emperor Master" and hurriedly stood up, saluted, and said hello to Yao Daoyan, "I have met Master Daoyan."

The eunuchs and maids beside them fell to their knees one after another. Even the concubines and empresses wanted to salute, but they didn't even dare to look at them.

"Your Majesty, you are very polite, may I allow the old monk to say a few words to you that are not known to outsiders?"

Yao Daoyan smiled and pointed at the kneeling eunuchs and maids beside him. The imperial concubine nodded and asked these chamberlains to step back.

After the chamberlain withdrew, Yao Daoyan said nothing, but looked at the palace maid left behind the imperial concubine.

The imperial concubine was so smart that she said directly: "Sir, don't worry, Guizhi has been by my side since I was a child, so I can trust her."

Yao Daoyan held his right hand in front of him and said calmly: "If the imperial concubine wants the body of this palace maid who is a brother and sister to the imperial concubine to be found in a mass grave tomorrow morning, of course she can."

As soon as these words came out, the imperial concubine's expression changed drastically, and she had no choice but to ask Guizhi, who had been with the imperial concubine since she was a child, to leave her side and go outside to guard the door.

After sending everyone away, the imperial concubine did not get up, but continued to sit there. Yao Daoyan did not take a step forward. The two of them were separated by a short distance, and neither one moved.

In fact, according to the power above the court, everything Yang Zhao and the Yang family did had nothing to do with the national destiny of the Ming Dynasty planned by Yao Daoyan, nor could there be any intersection.

Even though Yang Zhao and the imperial concubine were both aware of Yao Daoyan's existence, they had never seen the old monk. On the contrary, Yang Zhao and the imperial concubine had always been in the old monk's heart.

"I wonder what you, sir, want to say to me?"

The imperial concubine was naturally a bit proud of the imperial concubine. She picked up the tea cup with bare hands and poured herself a cup of tea. She opened her red lips and tasted it carefully.

Yao Daoyan smiled slightly, his gray beard swaying with the spring breeze, "Old monk came here this time just to ask about the imperial concubine's future plans?"

The imperial concubine smiled, somewhat self-deprecatingly, "Sir, what you said is a bit wrong. I am the emperor's woman, so everything is naturally decided by the emperor."

Yao Daoyan took a step forward and walked from the door to the peach blossom tree. Looking at the new branches that had just sprouted on the tree, he thought that there would be no peach blossoms in full bloom this year.

"The Imperial Concubine, please don't rush to say that the old monk is wrong. The old monk is asking how the Imperial Concubine will deal with herself when the Yang family finally conflicts with the royal family."

The imperial concubine narrowed her eyes and looked seriously at this old monk who had secretly dominated the Ming Dynasty for many years. When Taizu was granted the title of King of Liang, he had his plans. Regarding the recent Jiangnan Dao refugees, if Yao Daoyan did not say anything about it, the imperial concubine was Don't believe it at all.

Planned Confucianism, forced Zheng Huaixian to live in seclusion, and secretly supported Longhu Mountain to deal with Wudang Mountain where Qingling Taoist existed. Taking advantage of the remnants of the Wei Dynasty, he carried out the extermination of Buddhism. The four generals of the Ming Dynasty were defeated, and Guan Tiannan had no trace of it for thirty years.

Entering Beijing...

There are countless such things. In some cases, even the imperial concubine did not know that the person behind the scenes was Yao Daoyan before she entered the palace.

The old monk in black, the emperor's master, was honored as sir by the emperor, and was the person who entrusted Emperor Taizong with his care.

If after the death of the Queen Mother, the Imperial Concubine had other people to fear besides the Emperor, then the Yao Daoyan in front of her could be said to be the first one.

"I will not let this happen."

The imperial concubine decided to turn her back on guests and not answer Yao Daoyan's question.

Yao Daoyan seemed to have guessed that the imperial concubine would answer him like this, and asked: "Then when the emperor wanted Yang Yushi to die, would the imperial concubine be watching, or would he take action?"

"you......"

The imperial concubine was so angry at Yao Daoyan's question that she stood up for the first time, pointed at Yao Daoyan, and cursed: "You are so presumptuous!"

Yao Daoyan, however, seemed not to have heard anything and continued to talk to himself, "There is a saying among the people that when a woman marries, she will follow the chicken and the dog will follow the dog. It means that after a woman gets married, the affairs of her mother's family will have nothing to do with her.

.Empress, you must remember these words."

After saying that, Yao Daoyan walked up to the imperial concubine, gently placed the Buddhist beads in his hand on the stone table, and left.

"Empress, if one day a white silk ribbon is placed in front of you, please take out this string of Buddhist beads. The old monk implores the imperial concubine to say something like this at the appropriate time for the child who lives in the clan mansion.

Thank you, old monk."

Oriental Fish Belly White, Xishan Village.

Wang Yi was in a bad mood this morning, because when he came to Lu Li's room with the breakfast he had prepared, Lu Li was not in the room. After that, Wang Yi was dragged by old man Yao to herd the sheep.

Wang Yi was walking in the mountain stream a little bored. Old man Yao was holding a little lamb in his arms, and the five sheep in front of him were eating and walking.

When they arrived at the mountain spring they discovered yesterday, the goats took the initiative to look for food. Old Man Yao continued to observe the spring without saying a word. Wang Yi had long been accustomed to Old Man Yao not speaking, so he sat down directly and adjusted his internal energy.

.

But today was different. When Wang Yi was regulating his internal energy, old man Yao, who had not spoken for a long time, suddenly said, "Boy, come here."

Wang Yi, who was closing his eyes to rest, opened his eyes and found that old man Yao was looking at him, "Me?"

Old Yao said angrily: "There are only two of us here, is there anyone else?"

Wang Yi scratched his head, stood up, came to Old Man Yao, and asked, "Village Chief, what do you want me to do?"

Wang Yi's attitude towards Old Man Yao is, I will do whatever you ask me to do.

There is no way, I really can't beat this old man who looks very old in front of me.

Old man Yao pointed to the mountain spring in front of him. Someone placed a huge stone in the middle of the spring at an unknown time, just where the spring water flows.

"Sit on."

"What? Old man, are you crazy? That's what people do?"

Wang Yi shook his head repeatedly, making it clear that he would not go. Although Wang Yi would do what Old Man Yao ordered, it did not mean that Wang Yi would hand over his own life.

"If you can't die, just jump down. As long as you can stay up there for an hour, then you don't have to herd sheep today."

Old man Yao did not force Wang Yi, but directly stated the terms of exchange and let Wang Yi choose on his own.

Wang Yi took a few steps forward, looked up, and saw a "Galaxy" falling from the sky. It was so loud and deafening that it made people put off.

"Village chief, can we discuss it and I can choose to herd the sheep instead of going down?"

As usual, Old Man Yao took out the cigarette rod from his waist, lit it, and clouds of smoke began to appear, "Not good."

"ah!"

Wang Yi shouted and sat down on the ground, completely ignoring the image, "If you don't go, don't go, how can people be treated down there? The spring water comes down from the mountain and hits the rocks directly. If I go up, I will be so small with my body."

, it’s not like it’s just dead.”

"Yeah." Old Man Yao responded and expressed his agreement.

This made Wang Yi even more sad. Judging from Old Man Yao's appearance, he probably couldn't escape.

"Village chief, how about I..."

With a bang, Wang Yi was kicked directly by old man Yao and fell into the spring water.

Old man Yao is not worried about anything happening to Wang Yi. What can happen to a second-grade grandmaster?

Suddenly, a hand was placed on the shore. Wang Yi stretched out his head from the water and shouted to Old Man Yao: "Village Chief, aren't we discussing? Why do you take action directly!?"

Old man Yao chuckled and stepped on Wang Yi's hand that was stretched out to the shore.

When Wang Yi appeared on the water again, he said, "Old man, I'm going to take you up here. You're waiting for me to go up there. I won't spread the ashes of your ancestors. I'll take your surname."

Old man Yao stood on the shore and watched Wang Yi, who was scolding himself, swimming toward the big stone that he had placed in the middle of the spring last night. "Wait until you can beat me."

Wang Yi, who was struggling to swim towards the big rock, had only one thought to support him: he must raise the ashes of the ancestors of Yao Han!

On the border of Youzhou, near Ji County, a man and a woman came here on horseback.

Ji County is half a day's journey from Liangzhou and one day's journey from Youzhou.

When they arrived near Ji County, a man and a woman chose to walk instead of riding horses.

"It's finally here, I'm about to get calluses on my butt."

Ding Yixiu led the horse and looked at the people coming and going at the gate of Ji County City, and let out a sigh of relief.

Hongyu glanced at Ding Yixiu and said coldly: "You said the same thing last time in Tingzhou."

"Tch, a girl, what do you know?"

After saying that, Ding Yixiu jumped up and fell to the side, with the Mo Dao in his hand blocking his head.

"puff."

I saw that the horse that Ding Yixiu was holding just now had its head removed from someone's eyes. At this moment, it had fallen to the ground. Hot blood splashed onto Ding Yixiu's face, and even more on his knife.

I don't know when, three faint scratches appeared.

Ding Yixiu patted his chest and said strangely: "Miss Hongyu, it's not that bad. This is the third horse I bought. Last time in Tingzhou, you killed two horses.
