Chapter 296 Mr. Xue in the Human World(2/3)
"Saint! Saint! Saint!"
Li Longji suddenly opened his eyes and tried his best to follow his breath, only to realize that it was a nightmare, which shocked him so much that he was soaked.
This is the first time he has had such a dream after killing so many wives, sons, and grandsons.
"Sage, it's okay." Gao Lishi comforted softly: "The saint is just worried about national affairs..."
"Lantianyi, I don't want to hear Lantianyi... Do you think it's possible that Xue Bai is Xue Zu's son?"
"It's not the case. The saint also knew that he was adopted by Xue Su, and the saint treated him more kindly."
Li Longji is not as open-minded as he was two years ago. The older he is, the more afraid he is to lose.
When he was young, Na Yingting's face had already relaxed, and his ambitions had long been gone. Several times in two years had caused his originally broad mind to become narrow, and only the desire for power was better than the past.
"Xue Zu died in Lantian Post, but Xue Bai was writing poems there. I was very... confused."
"Sage, I heard that a rumor in the market may not be true." Gao Lishi said: "Some people say that An Lushan sent someone to catch up with Xue Bai and killed him."
"Yeah?"
Li Longji didn't know if he heard it, and murmured, "I'm tired, let's talk about it later."
~~
Rumors spread in Chang'an City and also spread to Lady Guo's Mansion.
For the servants in the mansion, this was almost a shaking scene. Facing the rage of Lady Guo State, everyone was silent.
Mingzhu carefully walked past the ground with broken porcelain scattered, and saw Yang Yuyao sitting in front of the couch and murmured: "Impossible."
"Miss Yao, Mama Du Ernie is here."
"she?"
Yang Yuyao's eyes immediately became different and she said, "Come on her."
She stared at the door of the house and waited nervously to see Du Jing's expression. However, Du Jing was always a scheming person. He looked serious when he came, so he could not see any clues.
"how?"
"Can you talk here?" Du Jing took this opportunity and did not respect him and spoke in an equal manner.
Yang Yuyao didn't care about these things and said, "Yes."
"It is true that An Lushan sent people to chase and kill, but Xue Bai was not dead, was injured, and was recuperating near Languan."
"Are you seriously injured?"
"Don't worry." Du Jing said, "He will come back well."
"he……"
"I'm here today, just telling the truth. He recovers from his injuries in Languan, and he will come back if he gets hurt."
Du Jing's tone became stronger and he said this.
The so-called "truth" is what she wants to make the matter appear in the end. She told Yang Yuyao in advance, and they will understand how to dominate the direction of things.
After talking about this, Du Jing left Lady Guo’s Mansion and returned home.
Du Xi also came back from Yan's house and told Wei Yun the same truth. The two sisters breathed a sigh of relief.
"Then the news of the Nanzhao rebellion will be returned, and the momentum he wants will be formed?" Du Xi said: "When everyone hopes, he and Duke Yan should be in charge of the Nanzhao incident."
"This is the plan." Du Jing said: "At least, the plan I know is the plan."
"Can he hide it?" Du Xi said: "Even if he doesn't tell me, he has always told you."
Although she was complaining, she also had a gentle tone, because she was not jealous, but thought that Xue Bai and Du Jing were sometimes too crazy to do things.
"I have intuition. This time he didn't tell me all about it." Du Jing murmured to himself, "Ruo according to his plan, he shouldn't go to Huashan with Li Bai."
"Even if someone finds out that he travels with Li Bai, people will only say that he is disheartened and avoids An Lushan."
"But why is it Huashan? And the saint happened to be about to be the Fengshan Mountains."
Du Xian said worriedly: "He won't want to give a direct advice again in Huashan, right?"
Du Jing shook his head, unable to say that it was too far beyond the bottom line of tolerance of the saints.
At this moment, a secret letter came from Fenghuixing. Du Jiang took the mark on it and said quietly: "Sister, I'll go and deal with a private money."
"Be careful."
"Know."
Du Jing returned to the house, tied the door, took out a book from the drawer, and deciphered it according to the secret letter. Because this was passed on to her by Xue Bai, it was still a mark that only the two of them could read.
However, to such a confidentiality, the content on the letter is very simple.
——Xue Bai has arrived in Huashan, so she asked her to find a way to leave Chang'an secretly and mobilize all her most confidant people to Huayin County to listen to his personal arrangements.
He picked up the letter paper and burned it, Du Xiang's eyes were contemplative.
She thought that Xue Bai might have to stop the Fengshan Xiyue incident so that Li Longji could more easily admit the Nanzhao incident.

Huashan, Zhenyue Palace.
Zhenyue Palace is a Taoist temple called "Huayue Temple Shangyuan". It was built in the fourth year of Kaiyuan. Because it was built in Mount Hua, people are called "Zhenyue".
The palace is built between Yunu Peak, Lotus Peak, and Fallen Geese Peak, and is built against the cliffs between the mountains.
Xue Bai and Li Bai now live here.
It was drizzling this day. Xue Bai stood under the eaves of the Taoist temple, overlooking the land of Guanzhong in the rain, and stood alone for a long time.
"It's raining." Li Bai walked over with a wine pot.
"Yes, there was no rain last year, and the drought was severe in summer and autumn." Xue Bai said: "This year finally comes the light rain in early spring, and it's hard to have a decent year."
Only then did Li Bai remember that he did not ask about his origin and said casually: "Sanlang has ever been an official?"
"Not the official position of Brother Taibai."
Li Bai smiled at the sky and said, "It's better not to mention my official position."
Xue Bai asked with a smile: "How can I bend my eyebrows and serve the powerful and unhappy?"
"This is a dream poem, haha, I like that dream."
Because of a poem, Li Bai was in a state of interest. He picked up the branches and danced his sword in the yard and sang loudly.
"The seaguests talk about Yingzhou, and the misty waves are hard to find..."
Li Bai is over 50 years old. What is rare is that he still has a youthful anger. He cries when he wants to cry, laughs when he wants to laugh, and does whatever he wants to do.
In comparison, Xue Bai seemed to be the more depressing one.
He was originally looking to the north, but now he turned around to look at Li Bai’s sword-dance, and his eyes fell to the south.
This place can also be regarded as the top of Mount Hua. There is a cliff to the west, and the Nan Peak to the south is the highest point of Mount Hua. The Xiyue Temple, which the emperor wants to worship, is built there, and is connected to the rooftop for sacrifice.
A towering temple was built on the extremely steep mountain, which was extremely spectacular. Craftsmen kept resting in rainy days, struggling to carry huge rocks and pile up sacrifices to the Temple of Heaven, and pile up the achievements of today's saints to a higher level.
Li Bai insisted on dancing his sword in front of this spectacular emperor's achievements, chanting his poems about his love for mountains and rivers. He wrote about wandering in the sky, but in fact everything in the world flowed eastward. Finally, he turned his pen and said angrily, "How can you bow your eyebrows and serve the powerful and nobles?" to wipe out the feeling of depression. He dreamed of going to official career to realize his ambitions, and he had catered to it, but in the end he always restored his character, excited, elegant and extraordinary spirit.
Therefore, the outline of the Xiyue Temple and Li Bai's sword dance form a rare picture in front of Xue Bai.
What Xue Bai saw was rebellion.
In fact, he is even more rebellious...
It’s refreshing to get wet in the rain. In the end, you have to fetch water yourself, boil water, and take a bath to drive away the cold.
"This well is called 'Yujing', and it has a lot of stories."
Li Bai shook the wheel of the well, put down the bucket, and said casually.
"What's the meaning?"
Xue Bai often doesn't know what Li Bai said is true, because this great poet is so imaginative that he can easily describe romantic and fresh things.
"Look, this building is called 'Yujing Tower'. Building a building on the well is not only for the convenience of getting water, but also for preventing rainwater from falling into the well."
“Why?”
"Because the jade well reaches the ground, the water tastes sweet and mellow, it is by no means comparable to rainwater." Li Bai said: "Thousand-leaf white lotus can be grown in the jade well, and if taken, you can become immortal."
Xue Bai didn't believe it and said, "Brother Taibai is making a fool of himself again. This is Huashan. How can he reach the bottom of the earth?"
"So what about Huashan?" Li Bai smiled and said, "You come and fetch water, I'll tell you in detail."
He is the only one who can let Xue Bai do these chores. In the past, Xue Bai told stories to others.
"When we climbed Mount Hua, there was a girl-crowned palace at the foot of the mountain. Did you see it?"
"yes."
"You've always stared at you, you're here." Li Bai said in a narrow-minded manner.
Xue Bai said: "The master of the temple is also staring at Brother Taibai."
