In the quiet courtyard, there is a white spirit banner hanging.
Wearing white mourning clothes, Zhenbei King Lu Yu stood quietly by the pond with his hands behind his back.
The cold moonlight fell on his face, making the other half of his face look gloomy and uncertain.
Until one moment, footsteps were heard and Feng Bulie's arrival broke the silence in the courtyard.
The number one warrior in the north has a fiery temper and is always impetuous.
He rushed in impatiently, completely ignoring the etiquette between the emperor and his subjects.
Old Master Feng said anxiously, "Second Master! Have you not made up your mind yet? The Imperial Palace has already sent an imperial edict!"
"This time, it was Su Wen, the eunuch most favored by the crazy woman, who brought the imperial edict. He will personally escort Lu Yi to the capital."
"And the remaining two great God Slayers of the Night Travel Division are said to have also received the imperial edict and are heading here."
"By that time, with the three great gods at the helm and Su Wen by our side, with the power of our Zhenbei Palace in the Central Plains... it will be impossible to rescue anyone!"
"If we can't rescue Lu Yi before Su Wen arrives, he'll be dead!"
Feng Bulie's face was full of anxiety.
I wanted to rush into the Night Traffic Police Station immediately and rescue the person.
Lu Yu, who was standing by the pond, looked at the calm water and let out a long sigh.
His eyes were full of bitterness.
"I finally understand why I had an inexplicable affection for him the first time I saw him..."
Lu Yu whispered: "Even though there is a human skin mask between us, Xiao Yi is still my blood relative, the teacher's flesh and blood."
"I only regret that I didn't see through his human skin mask at the time, which led to my current predicament..."
Lu Yu sighed, looked at the old man beside him, and saw the anxiety in the old man's eyes.
He said slowly: "Uncle Feng, I actually want to save people more than you do."
"I can't wait to gather all the troops and rush into the Night Traffic Police Office to rescue them."
"But after rescuing them..."
Lu Yu said slowly: "Zhenbei Palace, are you really going to raise the banner of rebellion?"
"That crazy woman has been pressing us step by step these years, forcing us to rebel."
"As long as the Zhenbei Palace rebels, she will have enough reasons to take action."
"By then, we will be sandwiched between the Soul Refining Sect and the Divine Dynasty army... Uncle Feng, how many people do you think will survive in the Zhenbei Palace?"
Lu Yu said slowly: "If she is a normal person who knows how to weigh the pros and cons, we may be able to use the power of the palace to put pressure on her, or at most give up some interests in exchange for Xiaoyi's life."
"But the man on the throne is not a normal person."
"In the past twenty years, I have been trying my best to protect the palace without completely angering her, and trying to keep the situation from getting out of control."
"If we raise the banner of rebellion just for Xiao Yi, then wouldn't all the efforts of the Zhenbei Palace over the past twenty years be in vain?"
Lu Yu shook his head and said, "My father has spent his entire life maintaining the stability of the court and the peace of the Central Plains. If I were to tear up this hard-earned peace... How would I face my father in the afterlife?"
Lu Yu's tone was extremely bitter.
Feng Bulie was so anxious that he glared and blurted out, "What the hell is the underworld? There is no underworld in this world. When a person dies, it is nothing!"
"And who did that crazy woman rely on to ascend to the throne? It was the old prince! If it wasn't for the old prince, how could that crazy woman have the chance to ascend to the throne!"
"If we kick her out now, we won't owe her anything! Instead, she owes us Zhenbei Palace!"
The anxious old man cursed without thinking and made some treasonous remarks.
Lu Yu looked at the old man helplessly and said, "Uncle Feng, it's fine if you say this in front of me, but if you tell others, our Zhenbei Palace will be in trouble."
"I know you are anxious, but there is no use being anxious."
"Let's talk about it. Even if we mobilize all our military forces now... the seven counties in the north are going to fight against the entire Central Plains? Uncle Feng, you understand military affairs, do you really think we have a chance of winning?"
"Not to mention that we have the Soul Refining Sect watching us closely behind us."
"Once there is unrest in the Central Plains, the Western Region Demons will enter the pass and move south... By then, it will not be a fight for the throne anymore, and millions of ordinary people will suffer."
"You and I will become eternal sinners by then."
Lu Yu persuaded the old man sincerely.
The old man's expression softened.
But he still refused to admit it.
"At worst, I can join the Soul Refining Sect, open the gate and let the Demonic Path in!"
"That crazy woman doesn't care about the Lu family's world and is almost forcing people to a dead end. Why should we risk our lives to defend the North for her?"
The old man has become talkative and is filled with resentment towards the current emperor.
Lu Yu looked at the old man helplessly and said, "Uncle Feng, don't worry about this matter for now."
"I will do my best to deal with Xiaoyi."
"This time, I will accompany him to the capital."
"As long as he is not beheaded immediately, we will have room for maneuver. I will do my best to save his life."
When Lu Yu said this, he saw that the old man was still worried, so he added helplessly: "If it really comes to the last moment, I will definitely not sit idly by and watch Xiao Yi get hurt."
Lu Yu's words seemed to have a deeper meaning.
Old Master Feng was stunned for a moment, then suddenly thought of a possibility and his eyes widened.
"You mean..."
Lu Yu sighed and said, "I have asked the blue bird to send a letter to Meng Yutian."
"If I have to, I will ask Senior Qiu to help."
"With her here, at least saving Xiaoyi's life won't be a problem."
Lu Yu's words made Feng Bulie's eyes widen: "Qiu Wuji? You invited her?"
He thought for a moment and said, "How about letting me go?"
The old man hesitated slightly: "There's no need to alarm that old witch about this matter... If I take action, I can actually save Lu Yi's life."
"Yumengtian is not a good place, and that old witch Qiu Wuji is even worse. We'd better stay away from her..."
Feng Bulie's words made Lu Yu smile bitterly.
"Uncle Feng, your domineering Qi is unrivaled in the world. As long as you take action, everyone will know that you have arrived..."
"If it really comes to the point where we have to snatch someone away, we have no other choice except Senior Qiu Wuji."
Lu Yu sighed, looked into the distance and murmured.
"Only if Yu Mengtian takes action to rob people will no one be able to associate it with our Zhenbei Palace. This will help us to clear ourselves of suspicion and not give that crazy woman Lu Zhao the opportunity to take advantage of the situation."
"After all, the six paths of the Demon Sect have always been entangled. It is only natural that Yao Yue is sent to snatch the successor of the Heavenly Demon and plot against the Heavenly Demon Law."
As Lu Yu spoke, he slowly rubbed his eyebrows, as if he was feeling a headache.
"But if you can avoid owing Yu Mengtian a favor, it's better not to do so."
"I will accompany Xiao Yi to the capital this time, and I also want to meet the current emperor."
"The last time I met her was ten years ago."
"I want to go and see if the legend is true," Lu Yu said, "I want to see if she really found the elixir of immortality left by the Demon Refiner..."
