The road back (13)

It's September, and the weather is already quite cool. It's drizzling outside and it's raining non-stop. Who knows where these people are going to take Fourth Master?

Of course, there is no need to worry about whether something will happen. Fourth Master still has some means of self-protection.

But even so, when he went in to change clothes, Lin Yutong still put medicine in the hidden compartment of the clothes. It would be good if no one had any evil intentions, but if someone really wanted to cause trouble, these medicines would be used by dozens of people, let alone dozens of people.

, it can knock down even hundreds of people. And it does not require harsh conditions to release toxicity.

She explained these things in a low voice while arranging his clothes.

The fourth master laughed: "Where are you thinking?" It is really confusing to care. "If you want to kill someone, why don't you kill me? Why bother to see me? Besides, we haven't done anything, so why bother us. Now, we are the unknown ones

, I’m not the number one person, so just stay calm, it’ll be fine!”

Lin Yutong really wanted to say, did he need a reason to kill? Thinking about it, it was inappropriate to say this in this situation. He had no choice but to look at the brave fourth master, who was a skilled man, and left like this. He didn't even take a servant with him.

But with such a eunuch leading the way, Lin Yutong didn't even dare to send someone to follow him, for fear of causing trouble for the Fourth Master.

After all, if there are such a series of eunuchs, their master must be a very important person. So according to the rules, the secret guard hiding in the dark must be very alert and send someone to follow him?

Don't die!

Compared with the anxiety that Lin Yutong was waiting for, Fourth Master was much calmer. When he got on the carriage, he saw that the configuration on the carriage could only be regarded as ordinary. But it was also warm and separated from the coolness outside. He sat with him inside.

There were two eunuchs sitting there, looking at their noses and noses, without saying a word. Two eunuchs were driving the carriage outside.

After coming out of my village, I went directly to the official road. Going north from the official road, I only walked about three to five miles. I turned sharply towards the east and it was uphill all the way.

Fourth Master roughly guessed the destination of this trip - Longyun Temple.

Longyun Temple is a temple hidden in a small valley. There is only one way in and out. This temple is somewhat different from the popular temples around it. There are only seven or eight temples and three or five monks. They never interact with the outside world. Fourth Master

After buying a property around here, I lived here for the second time this year, and then I paid attention to it. The land around the capital, even if it is a barren mountain, is not something anyone can buy, and this temple occupies a long and narrow valley.

.If the land in the valley is opened up, there must be dozens of acres that can be cultivated. But unfortunately, these lands are so abandoned, and only the roads leading to the outside are very neatly built.

At that time, the fourth master had warned the servants in the family not to go there if nothing happened, let alone provoke others. In places outside the capital, people who have no face cannot buy land. But this Longyun Temple, although the temple is small

, but there is no dilapidation. Although there are few monks, no one bullies them. There is no worship, no farming, and there is no distress in the temple. Do you need to ask? If there is no one behind it, can it be so carefree in the world?

I originally thought that the background would be small, but I didn't expect that it would be so big and that it actually had some connections with the palace.

When the carriage stopped, I opened the curtain and got off, and what I saw was Longyun Temple.

Standing at the door was a eunuch dressed as a rich family's butler, who was being led by the fourth master all the way towards the main hall.

In the main hall, the two figures were facing the Buddha statue and their backs to the door. The eunuch took the person outside the door, stopped, and only asked the fourth master to go inside.

The fourth master stepped in and took two steps forward. The door behind him closed slowly. He turned around and looked over, and saw two waiters in gray standing beside the door that he had not noticed just now. They were going out.

He stepped back and closed the door behind him.

In the main hall, candles as thick as a child's arm were lit in rows, illuminating the hall brightly and bringing a hint of warmth.

After he took a clear look at this place, he spoke. The two people with their backs to him turned around.

As soon as he turned around, Fourth Master's expression changed instantly. Two names he almost blurted out, but after all, he had been through a lot and held it back.

When the two men saw Fourth Master's face changing, they involuntarily squinted their eyes, and then looked at each other.

The man in green clothes asked first: "What? Do you know us?"

The fourth master looked at the face of the man in green, and a trace of complexity flashed in his eyes, but then it disappeared in an instant. This face should have been familiar, but now, looking at it, it felt strange and strange, which made people feel panicked.

He forced himself to suppress his emotions and knelt down.

This time I kneeled down, there really was no psychological barrier at all: "...The boy couldn't help but be surprised when he looked at the two faces..." Shifting the strange color revealed to just talking about their faces.

I heard the fourth master say: "Long live my emperor..." Then he bowed to the man in green: "Greetings to the prince."

The two of them were silent for a long time before the man in black robe who had been silent spoke: "Get up."

After the fourth master got up, he had already concealed his emotions very well. Even when he saw the emperor with his second brother's face, and the prince with his eldest brother's face. If I guessed correctly, I'm afraid this should be

It is only right to be loyal and obedient to the prince.

I forced away the illusion of time and space, and couldn't help comforting myself. I knew it couldn't be them, but even seeing these two faces was enough to comfort me.

Relatives, such complex emotions welled up in his heart.

Emperor Zhenglong felt this closeness and was inexplicably surprised. He smiled and pointed to the futon on the ground: "Sit down and talk."

Even the sound is very similar.

The fourth master watched these two people sit down, and then he also sat down.

Prince Zhongshun glanced at Emperor Zhenglong and smiled: "Do you know why I called you here?"

Fourth Master nodded: "Understood."

Prince Zhongshun chuckled twice and asked again: "Do you really understand?"

Fourth Master solemnly said: "I really understand."

King Zhongshun looked at Emperor Zhenglong, as if waiting for him.

Emperor Zhenglong sighed: "Now that you understand, let's go."

Then the Fourth Master withdrew. There was a carriage waiting outside. He got in the carriage and came back in a short while.

Lin Yutong kept waiting, thinking that if she didn't come back before dark, she would be able to find the person by following the ruts. But what happened? Within an hour, the person came back. Just looking at Fourth Master,

There is something very wrong with his expression. Even if the person who wants to see the Fourth Master is the Emperor, the Supreme Emperor, his expression will not be like this!

She followed her to the study room and saw Fourth Master sitting on a chair, panting. She was startled, and pulled his wrist to take a pulse. The pulse was very good, but he was just a little... frightened?

Instantly, her heart began to beat loudly. What could happen to frighten the Fourth Master?

On the other hand, how scary does this have to be to scare Fourth Master?

She was so frightened that she started to caress him the way he used to caress her, without even asking a question.

It took the fourth master a long time to realize what Tongtong was doing, and he suddenly felt dumbfounded: "It's okay..." After saying that, he pulled her to sit aside and they squeezed into the recliner to talk.

Lin Yutong then asked: "What happened?"

"It's just that my mind is a little confused." Fourth Master said the matter in a low voice: "It's really not a mistake. The appearance is not exactly the same, but it is also 100%."

Lin Yutong digested it for a long time before saying: "You mean...the current emperor is Prince Li..."

"It's not the second brother, he looks just like the second brother." After the fourth master said it, he felt that it was wrong to say that, so he added: "Maybe he is the second brother, but he is not the second brother before..."

This... Lin Yutong understood it. Just like the fourth master never regarded him as the same person as the fourth master recorded in the history books. They may be the same person, but different time and space and different experiences make them different.

The same people.

When she said this, Fourth Master nodded: "That's what I mean."

Therefore, Fourth Master saw an acquaintance, but the acquaintance may not understand the key.

It's the kind of relationship where I feel like you're a relative, but you don't feel like you are. It's too close, and you say there's something wrong with me, and you even have to wonder if I have ulterior motives. But if I'm estranged, it's obviously like I'm wandering in another time and space.

It's been a long time since she met her 'relatives'. She thought about it to herself, and she felt so cruel.

The expression on her face made Fourth Master feel a toothache, and then he felt a little sad: "...It's okay, it's hard to be willing to be someone else's minister. But they...that's it. They kneel to me, and I kneel to you."

If you leave them...perhaps there is some destiny somewhere."

If you think about it this way, it seems that you will feel better.

Then Lin Yutong asked: "Then the Supreme Emperor...doesn't he look like an old friend?"

Do you mean like Huang Ama?

Fourth Master rubbed his forehead and said nothing.

Lin Yutong quickly changed the subject: "...What are they looking for you for? About that clay sculpture?"

The Fourth Master opened his eyes, nodded, and shook his head: "Not entirely." He sat up and said, "That thing naturally tempted him. If this thing really works, it will be a great political achievement for him. With the Emperor like this

When he was slapped in the face, he needed political achievements to gain a foothold. And Qiu Wei was able to get Jieyuan, which made him see our value. Knowing that after Chun Wei passed, I was the one who could use him. And being able to ask him to go like this

Well...that's because my surname is Jia. I am the old man of the Ningguo Mansion and the Rongguo Mansion of the Supreme Emperor. Although I later became involved with the former Crown Prince, now Prince Yi Zhong, Prince Yi Zhong is dead, people are dead, bad people

They are all gone, and only the good ones are left. No matter who it is for the sake of, the Supreme Emperor always treats the old ministers with kindness. He wants me to run towards the Supreme Emperor openly, and towards him secretly." So.

, King Zhongshun asked himself if he understood? He had to make it clear. If he didn't understand, there was no need to say it anymore. Some of these words can only be understood but not expressed, and they can only be done but not spoken.

Lin Yutong understood what he said: "In other words, we can't really go too far away from the Jia family. Are we getting close by order?"

Fourth Master nodded: "That's pretty much what it means."

Oh! Then this is easy to handle.

But immediately afterwards, Lin Yutong remembered something: "The prince is gone, and there is a supreme emperor... Now you say it's like... the uncle and the second master..." Can't find a suitable title,

She was also afraid that others would listen to her, so the title of uncle and second uncle was the most appropriate one. She said: "Then the person who forced the uterus..."

The Fourth Master shook his head: "This is what I'm not sure about today. I'm really afraid that because of our similar looks, I'll make a mistake in my judgment. I don't rush to make a judgment on this matter." He said and paused.

After a moment, "Don't forget, when mentioning Prince Yoshitaka Chitose, he used a word called 'the one who broke things'. How did this thing go bad? Who broke it from the root? We are now

I can't understand it at all when I'm outside the incident. Let's leave it like this for now. Since it's been hinted here that I need to prepare well for Enke and stand in court as a member of the Jia family, I just need to follow their path first. Let's go.
To be continued...
