Ye Qingxuan frowned slightly, and when he turned his head to look, Yu Shengtan was indeed not on the seat, while that Zhou Zhengxue raised his glass to him with a silly smile, respecting each other from afar.
"Brother Nangong, let's go over now." Ye Qingxuan greeted and left the table with Nangong Changsheng.
Zong Xuan looked calm, but his eyes swept back and forth several times between Ye Qingxuan and Zhou Zhengxue, then refocused on the wine glass, and poured himself a drink, as if nothing outside his body had anything to do with him.
Unexpectedly, there is a study room above this spring-like painting boat. Except for the large desk in the middle, there are large bookcases higher than a person's body all around, full of files, documents and books.
Yu Shengtan was in the open space in front of the desk, holding a few letters in his hand, checking left and right, putting down from time to time and walking anxiously, and then picked up the letters to check carefully.
Ye Qingxuan and Nangong Changsheng looked at each other, not knowing what made him so worried.
Ye Qingxuan let go of his consciousness and found that there was no such master as Xing Wuwei around, so he couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, and comforted the nervous Nangong Changsheng with his eyes, indicating that this matter had nothing to do with the two of them, so that he could rest assured.
If something really happened to the two of them and Yu Shengtan became suspicious, then at this moment, it is absolutely impossible that he is the only one waiting for them here.
"I've met Master Yu." The two stepped forward to salute.
Yu Shengtan woke up from his contemplation. Seeing the two hurried forward, he laughed and said, "You two elder brothers are laughing. Yu Shengtan has something important to discuss with you. Please sit down."
When the two were seated, Yu Shengtan organized his words with a frown, looked at Hua Tuo seriously, and suddenly bowed to the bottom and said, "Master Hua, oops, I'm a little sorry for you..."
Ye Qingxuan was taken aback for a moment, and wondered, "Why did Master Yu say that?"
Yu Shengtan let out a long sigh, and said slowly: "Oh, it's all my fault that I was too concerned about treating my sister's illness, but forgot to consider the crisis of the Great Wu court, and ended up causing disaster for the genius doctor. I really feel ashamed."
Nangong Changsheng turned pale with shock, and said urgently: "What does Lord Yu mean by this, but is there anyone who wants to put my brother to death?"
"This..." Ye Qingxuan's heart was calm, but his words were anxious: "The more Mr. Yu said that, the more confused I became. Why did I save the noble concubine, but got killed?"
"Master Hua doesn't know something..." Yu Shengtan sat down and said nervously: "There have always been three forces in the Great Wu court who are intertwined and guard against each other. The most powerful force among them is the religious sect. Zhu Wusheng, the great teacher of the Great State, claims that the teaching power is greater than the imperial power; the other two factions are royalists, who mainly respect the authority of the Great Wu Emperor Holden, but these two factions, apart from supporting Holden, They also have second-generation heirs who support each other. This is the little prince born to Prince Huo Tingzun and Concubine Yu... Miracle Doctor Hua guessed right, this is the faction that respects the little prince, and it is the weakest of the three factions …”
Ye Qingxuan's heart suddenly became brighter. When Yu Shengtan explained this matter at this time, on the one hand, he must be forcing himself to choose a side, and on the other hand, he wanted to take part in some action.
The foreshadowing above is just to create an appearance that I can't refuse, so that I have to become his disciple.
Ye Qingxuan didn't want to watch Yu Shengtan's performance on this matter, so he went straight to the point and said, "Oh, but because I saved Concubine Yu, I was considered by the other two factions to be Master Yu's sect, and they want to harm me?"
"Exactly." Yu Sheng sighed.
Ye Qingxuan hurriedly got up and bowed to the end, "Master Yu, please save me. I'm just a grassroots in the old country, but he is only a little good at Qihuang, and I don't want to be killed by Ruolai. Please, Lord Yu, see that I have contributed to the adults. Save the old man's family and life. The old man is willing to do the work of a dog and a horse."
"Of course, of course..." Yu Shengtan was overjoyed.
Nangong Changsheng pretended to cooperate and said: "Don't worry, brother, our Lord Yu is a hero and will never let Brother Hua get hurt."
"That's right, hahaha..." Yu Shengtan laughed proudly, then waved his hands, and said, "Since everyone is our own, I might as well say something straight. Originally, my plan was to compete with Huo Tingzun first Yes, once the position of the crown prince is stabilized, then he will compete with the clerical faction. But today, Mr. Zhou Zhengxue took office and made clear the relationship between them. Only then did he realize that the most important thing to do in order to make Great Wu prosperous is to immediately Get rid of the clerical faction, and fight for the crown prince in the future."
Ye Qingxuan and Nangong Changsheng looked at each other, and couldn't help being shocked.
"Master Yu, think twice." Nangong Changsheng hurriedly said: "The religious sect is dominated by Zhu Wusheng, supplemented by Jiang Jiyue, with strong strength, even if Jiang Jiyue is missing now, as long as Zhu Wusheng is there, his strength is not something we can easily win. Now that Zhu Wusheng has no idea of unifying the imperial power, why should we take the initiative to provoke him?"
"It's not that there is nothing, but that we have already taken practical actions." Yu Shengtan waved his hand, and said with a worried face: "Mr. Zhou is the spy they tried their best to recruit, and ordered him to work under my sect, waiting for the opportunity to report to the clerical faction. If Mr. Zhou hadn't understood the righteousness and took the initiative to tell it, I'm afraid I would still be kept in the dark, thinking that the clerical faction would stay out of the matter and not participate in the struggle for the heir apparent."
this…
Ye Qingxuan couldn't help saying inwardly that this Zhou Zhengxue played a lot of tricks, and even played a double-faced spy.
This guy doesn't have any loyalty to any party in his heart, he just deliberately makes troubles, and earns his own benefits from it. Health fear.
"How does Lord Yu want to deal with it?" Ye Qingxuan asked.
Yu Shengtan waved the letter in his hand, and said in a deep voice: "This is the news I got from the Great Master before. I didn't care about it at first, but after Mr. Zhou reminded me, I just discovered the mystery... Please read it, gentlemen."
As he spoke, he handed over the letter.
Ye Qingxuan and Nangong Changsheng came over to take a look, only to find that the daily consumption of items in the main hall of the Great Maitreya Palace of the White Lotus Sect was recorded in detail, from basic necessities of life to people entering and leaving.
Looking around, Nangong Changsheng didn't have the slightest clue, he didn't understand why.
Only after Ye Qingxuan took a few glances, he knew what to expect, handed the letter in his hand to a confused Nangong Changsheng, and said calmly: "Zhu Wusheng, he is injured."
Nangong Changsheng was taken aback, "How did you see that?"
Yu Shengtan was delighted, secretly thinking that he was right, this Hua Tuo had a delicate mind, and he could see the clue in just a few glances.
"The appetite is wrong." Ye Qingxuan said.
"Amount of food?" Nangong Changsheng was puzzled, "It is not from the consumption of medicine, but from the amount of food that a person is injured?"
Ye Qingxuan chuckled, and said: "It's very simple. According to previous records, the Great Master eats three catties and six taels of meat every day, and eats five catties of meat. Since returning from Luzhou City, his meal intake has increased to about six catties, and his meat has also doubled." , this is definitely not the amount of food that a frustrated person should have, it only shows...there is someone else with the Great Master."
"who?"
"Healers and nurses."
"Why?" Nangong Changsheng asked, "Maybe there are other shady activities... For example, women."
The Great Master is good at harvesting supplements, and it is not uncommon for there to be other women in the bedroom when Jiang Jiyue is not around.
"But there are no women's consumables in the record. And as a great master, this kind of thing will not be hidden. More importantly..." Ye Qingxuan turned over the pages of the previous record, pointed to a place and said: "Look Has it arrived? In the past, the great masters had to consume a huge amount of special ambergris to supplement and practice kung fu, but these days there is no more, and the daily income of some pills has also completely stopped... Shengxue Pill, Peiyuan Pill, Dragon and Tiger Strong Essence Powder...these pills that I have to take every day have all stopped producing in the past few days, which can only explain one thing—"
"What's the matter?" Yu Shengtan asked anxiously.
Ye Qingxuan replied calmly: "The Great Master was not only injured, but also suffered from a sword wound. These pills are all things to replenish qi and blood, but if it is a sword wound, if you take these medicines, you are guaranteed to end up in blood collapse immediately. .”
Crash.
Yu Shengtan jumped up excitedly, paced back and forth on the spot, and said excitedly: "Sure enough, sure enough, he was cut by Situ Lingfeng. What a perfect sword, what a perfect sword..."
As he was talking, Yu Shengtan rushed over, grabbed Ye Qingxuan's palm, and said pleasantly, "You will come to the palace with me to meet the saint, and repeat what you just said to your majesty."
"Old man... I obey." Ye Qingxuan bowed and saluted, feeling extremely excited in his heart.
Is this going to force a showdown between the two sides
If Zhu Wusheng was seriously injured and Momen seized the opportunity to make a move, Great Wu would indeed fall into a great turmoil.
But, is Daxia ready
Although he was worried, Ye Qingxuan still wouldn't let go of this opportunity to let them bite dogs.
Several people packed up and were about to enter the palace to face the saint. Suddenly, there was a sound of chickens flying and dogs jumping outside, followed by the sound of tinkling weapons clashing, and the sound of exclamation and cursing came. Qingxuan and Nangong Changsheng were taken aback and rushed out quickly.
At this time, I saw a mess in the flower hall, many maids and guards fell to the ground, and the banquet was also spilled all over the floor. Sister Feng and other women all looked at the two people who were confronting each other with a changed expression.
Ye Qingxuan couldn't help being surprised when he saw it.
It turned out that the two confronting each other were Zong Xuan and the "golden boy" Zhou Guangcheng.
Zong Xuan looked calm and relaxed, he didn't even draw the red tasseled knife out of its sheath, but Zhou Guangcheng was short of breath, the long sword was already in his hand, and behind him, "Jade Girl" Ren Linglong also drew out her two swords, frowning coldly Angry at Zong Xuan.
"What happened here?" Yu Shengtan hurried forward and asked.
Zhou Guangcheng was short of breath and could not open his mouth. Ren Linglong next to him yelled, and said angrily: "Your Majesty Yu is so powerful, we were ordered to invite a genius doctor to the Great Maitreya Palace to see the saint, but you and your subordinates dare to stop you. Can't rebel?"
As soon as this statement came out, everyone was shocked and turned pale with shock.
