Pei Ziyun saw that the reputation above had reached the fourth level, and sighed secretly: "We finally arrived!"

Stretching his finger a little, in an instant, the world suddenly changed, and his consciousness was drawn to the Yin God. The spiritual energy suddenly poured down around the Yin God, and these rich spiritual energy were continuously absorbed by the Yin God.

Pei Ziyun looked like he had his eyes closed, and his spirits were gathering. It took a long time for Pei Ziyun to come back to his senses and look again.

"Yinshen: The Fourth Level (1.5% Completion)"

"Eat, and then go back down the mountain when you're done!"

After cultivating the fourth level of Yin Shen, I no longer hesitated. I thought of Cheng returning to the mainland and plum blossoms transforming reputation. With such a magical effect, what would happen if the fairy dragon vein could be found

At this moment, the translucent data frame moved again.

"Mission: Ye Suer opened the Tianmen and found the original dragon vein of the cave (not completed)"

Pei Ziyun was startled and suddenly became suspicious.

The system never releases unrelated tasks. What does it have to do with Ye Suer opening the Tianmen and finding the original dragon vein in the cave

Yingzhou

When the ship docked, it was already dusk, shrouded in a dark sky. Lights were lit on the pier, and the boatmen were busy lowering sails, setting up bridge boards, lowering anchors, and tying cables.

Pei Ziyun took a look at the sky and said, "It's going to rain. Spring rain is as precious as oil. This is a good thing. Everyone has worked hard, and everyone will be rewarded with one tael of silver."

The boatman thanked the boatman for his reward. Pei Ziyun had already taken Qiaodu, a hundred households, off the boat and onto the pier. The rain started to fall. Qiaodu took a look and saw that there were quite a lot of people at the pier. There were restaurants and singing venues on the street further away. He said: "It's changed again." Now, it seems to be more lively.”

"There is maritime trade, which is different. There are many ships coming in. Last year, we collected 300,000 taels of silver!" He shouted to the bullock cart.

At this moment, a man greeted Baihu and gave a secret signal. Qiao Du went over to speak and waited for the bullock cart to arrive. Pei Ziyun went up and was about to return to Fu's house. At this time, Baihu came over and whispered: A few words.

"What, King Lu is seriously ill and the emperor is visiting her?" Pei Ziyun was surprised.

This had never happened in the memory of the original owner. After pondering for a long time, Pei Ziyun looked at Baihu: "Why is King Lu so ill?"

Baihu thought for a moment and then said: "The ministers in the court asked for King Lu to be imprisoned. Originally it was just one or two officials, but in the end, for some unknown reason, it turned into a raging crowd wanting to kill King Lu, and King Lu fell ill because of it. Chong, the emperor went to visit."

"Is there any further news?" Pei Ziyun asked.

"It is said that King Lu was crying loudly and that all the officials were shouting for death. It seems that time is running out and no other news has been received yet." Baihu responded.

Pei Ziyun didn't say anything. He leaned on the carriage and thought for a moment. This was a bitter trick, retreating in order to advance. There was also an expert beside him. Who could it be

In his previous life, Xie Chengdong came out around this time to seek a breakthrough. Could it be Xie Chengdong

Pei Ziyun remained silent for a long time before letting out a long breath, hoping that the prince would not go against the grain and give King Lu an opportunity to take advantage of. However, with the eldest princess and Liang Di, the prince would not be unwise. No matter what, I We must rush to the border of Yingzhou to survey the local terrain and try to find this fairy dragon vein. This is the first priority.

Prince Lu's Mansion

The sky was somewhat hazy, with snow and rain falling. A father-in-law and an imperial doctor came forward, and several guards followed lightly. As soon as they entered the door, they smelled a strong aroma of medicine. After calming themselves down, they saw King Lu lying half on the pillow. His figure was haggard and getting thinner, his face was so pale that there was no color at all. He seemed to be worried, and he frowned tightly and closed his eyes to rest.

A woman was feeding the medicine with a spoon one by one. When someone came in, the woman stood up and said to King Lu, who closed her eyes and said nothing, "Husband, someone from the palace is here."

"Oh, help me up." King Lu reluctantly opened his eyes and looked around, saying weakly.

The father-in-law quickly apologized and said, "That's where the prince is lying. The emperor misses him very much, so he sent his servants and the imperial doctor to come over and check his pulse."

King Lu still struggled to sit up, took a slow breath, and nodded: "Oh, this is your father's grace. It's a pity that my body can't share my father's worries."

"Your Majesty, as long as you calm down and recuperate, I will take care of the Emperor's worries." After saying this, the imperial physician came forward and sat on the side of the bed, reaching out to feel Prince Lu's pulse.

Eunuch Liao from the palace waited nervously, holding his breath.

The imperial doctor's face was solemn, and he was silent for a moment. His brows relaxed a little, and he gently put down Prince Lu's hand before standing up. The father-in-law in the palace stood aside and watched for a long time. When the imperial doctor got up, he asked, "How is your prince's health?" "

"Eunuch Li, when Your Highness took your pulse last time, your heart energy was weak, your body and mind were damaged, and your spirit energy was even weaker. Today you have recovered somewhat."

Listening to what the imperial doctor said, the father-in-law called: "Your Highness, Your Highness."

King Lu was about to speak when she coughed again: "Ahem, father-in-law, but there is... an oracle..."

"Yes, Your Highness, Your Majesty has issued an oral instruction. Please live a good life and cultivate yourself. Don't worry about the rest." Eunuch Li said solemnly.

"Thank you, my lord..." After hearing the instructions, King Lu turned over and wanted to salute. Eunuch Li quickly waved his hand: "Your Highness, Your Majesty still has instructions. His Highness is seriously ill, so he is exempted from saluting."

"Thank you, Father!" King Lu wanted to speak, but he started coughing again, and the cough became more serious. The imperial doctor frowned when he saw King Lu's appearance.

"Your Highness, please don't be overjoyed or sad. Live a good life and cultivate yourself, and you will definitely recover." The imperial doctor quickly persuaded him. The job of healing is not easy.

Eunuch Li nodded: "Come here and bring up all the medicinal materials His Majesty has given you."

Several guards came in carrying plates.

"Your Majesty, this is all appreciated by His Majesty. Please cultivate yourself a lot. Please don't be overjoyed or sad."

"Father, son...ahem...thank you..." King Lu wanted to say thank you, and the father-in-law quickly stretched out his hand: "Your Highness, please stop tossing, rest quietly, and our family will report the truth truthfully."

Hearing what his father-in-law said, Eunuch Liao's eyes lit up at the side of King Lu. He reached out and touched the banknotes in his arms. When he saw his father-in-law exiting after pronouncing his words, he quickly chased after him.

Eunuch Liao had a flattering smile on his face: "A little respect is nothing."

Eunuch Li glanced around for a moment, put the banknote into his sleeve, and felt it was thick, with a lot of smile on his face: "Don't worry, it's okay, the emperor is thinking about you. I'm here this time, in addition to visiting His Highness. , and also to withdraw the pro-troops outside."

After saying that, he waved his hand and went out, saying something to the general. He only heard a shout, the sound of horse hooves, and the constant sound of armor and armor clashing. The armored soldiers receded like a tide, apparently retreating.

"Cough cough" In the room, King Lu coughed again, seeming to be uncomfortable.

"You all stand down." Eunuch Liao rushed back and drove all the maids out. The room became quiet and there was no sound.

"Mr. Xie, everyone is gone, come out!" King Lu's voice sounded, and Xie Chengdong came out from the inner room and bowed deeply: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, once the armored soldiers withdraw, this disaster is finally over."

Eunuch Liao was also full of smiles: "Yes, my lord, I finally got over it."

"Ahem!" King Lu coughed again. Looking at King Lu's appearance, Eunuch Liao hurriedly took a cloak and put it on King Lu: "Thank you for your hard work, Your Majesty."

"Ahem, nothing happened. I just didn't expect that I would be where I am today." King Lu sighed. This illness was not fake, otherwise it would be impossible to hide it from the imperial doctor: "Mr. Xie, this is all your fault."

King Lu was tired, and his face was pale and sarcastic: "Information came in just now. Our people wrote a letter and confessed their crimes. They were considered loyal to the prince, and several of them infiltrated the prince's party. The ears and eyes that were originally cut off became much clearer."

"My lord, it is indeed true. Even though we are on the periphery, we are much better informed." Eunuch Liao said, "Mr. Xie is indeed very wise."

"I don't dare. It was only because of Prince Hongfu that the Emperor changed his mind." Xie Chengdong bowed and said, "I see that Prince's bad luck has gone and his fortune has improved, and there is hope for his restoration."

"Now, Your Majesty, rest more so that you can gradually recover."

"Of course, Liao Ban, prepare some food for me. I haven't eaten for a long time, so I'm really hungry." King Lu said.

"Your Majesty, I will prepare it for you right away." Eunuch Liao said, turned around and went out, and later took a bowl of porridge and presented it to him.

After finishing a bowl of porridge, King Lu went to bed and the two of them went out.

Xie Chengdong walked along the corridor and passed by a rockery pond. He stopped thoughtfully and suddenly said, "The person who framed King Lu must be Pei Ziyun. King Lu is unwell. I didn't say anything just now."

Eunuch Liao was startled and stopped: "What do you mean?"

"The prince's original strength is weak. Although he has given birth to an imperial grandson, he has gradually stabilized. However, it is not as cold as a day. It is very difficult to recover. I carefully checked the prince's movements. Not only the Lantern Festival assassination, but also the previous case of arrogance and fines involved the prince. There are not many traces, but they are definitely there."

"The method is brilliant and just right. The antelope hangs its horns. It is the most advanced strategy. It can see the big from the small and win people's hearts. I have thought carefully when I take action - with this master here, even if King Lu shows weakness, I am afraid he will be counterattacked. This kind of counselor is not easy to deal with."

"But I showed weakness and resorted to a trick. There was not much counterattack. The prince's palace has not responded yet. This proves that this counselor is not in the prince's palace."

"I carefully checked Pei Ziyun's whereabouts and found that his whereabouts coincided with the second attack. Now that he has left the capital, the prince's level has dropped a bit. I think Pei Ziyun is the prince's mastermind."

Eunuch Liao immediately showed a fierce look in his eyes: "Are you saying that this person is responsible for King Lu's predicament today? I will immediately send someone to kill him at any cost, otherwise it will be difficult to eliminate the hatred in my heart."

"How to kill him? You have seen the high level of this man's martial arts, and the most important thing now is that King Lu shows him that he will accept the feudal vassal because he is weak because of his emotions. If at this juncture he raises troops and mobilizes people to kill him, it will be seen by the emperor and the prince. No, all the previous efforts will be wasted immediately." Xie Chengdong sighed.

"Damn it, are we going to let this person go free?" Eunuch Liao punched the pillar with resentment on his face. Prince Lu's palace used to be glorious, and he didn't want to end up in this situation after just a few tricks.

"I won't let him go like this." Xie Chengdong sneered: "This person is not in the capital. This is a good thing. We need to find something to distract him. He is tired of running and cannot be contacted by the prince."

"In this way, the reaction of the Prince's Mansion will be slow, and the establishment of the vassal state may go smoothly. Otherwise, I'm afraid of causing trouble out of thin air."

"You mean, if this son is recalled, it may interrupt King Lu's path to becoming a vassal?" Eunuch Liao asked, with a fierce look in his eyes: "What do you say, I will do it immediately!"

Eunuch Liao said and glanced at King Lu's room.

Xie Chengdong smiled: "We have to find some trouble. We can't find trouble directly. We can find trouble with his allies and attack them to save them."

"Su Yuemen is an ally with him. They are in Anji Mansion. The prefect there is a member of His Royal Highness King Lu?"

After hearing this, Eunuch Liao hesitated for a moment and said, "Yes, the prefect of Anji Prefecture once surrendered to His Highness, but now that the Crown Prince is powerful, he may not obey his orders."

"We are not trying to make enemies of the prince. We are just attacking Su Yuemen and dealing with Taoists. The prefect will not offend King Lu for a trivial matter."

"Okay, let's go make arrangements." Eunuch Liao thought for a while and nodded.
