The fire in Linhefang has been put out, but the aftermath of the fire has not stopped.

When Zuo Lingquan settled down in Tang Jing, Xihuang Valley, thirty miles away, also received news of the capital fire.

This news, for the current Qihuang Valley, is tantamount to adding fuel to the fire and worsening the snow, because the responsibility of Xihuang Valley is to pay attention to these abnormal events.

After Wu Qingwan heard the news, she secretly thought about countermeasures, but before she could come up with a reason for the explanation, the imperial order summoned by the court was sent over as expected.

Several of the masters in charge of the house didn't have time to say goodbye to the disciples who left the customs, so they hurried to the capital.

When I came to the Imperial City, the sky was already bright.

Wu Qingwan was wearing a black dress made by the sect, walking behind the three senior brothers. Before reaching the Zhengyuan Hall, she heard the voice of Prime Minister Li Jingsi from above the court:

"In the early summer of Tianbao's 14th year, a fire broke out in Linhefang for no reason, destroying more than 800 houses and causing more than 2,000 casualties. The cause of the fire has not yet been identified... The old minister personally experienced the fire back then. According to Fangzheng, the flame was It appeared at the same time, affecting the entire Linhefang and its surroundings; and some people have seen the flames in the lampstand and stove, extending several feet for no reason..."

Wu Qingwan stopped outside the main hall and exchanged glances with several senior brothers, she could only wait quietly for the summons. The voices of discussion in the hall came into my ears one after another:

"As the saying goes, 'Raise a soldier for a thousand days, and use it for a moment'; Xihuang Valley is worshipped by the incense of the people, and it should fulfill the duty of sheltering the people. In the past, fierce beasts were rampant, and after all, it had little impact; now there is such a big fire, Xihuang Valley If there is still nothing to do, Wei Chen dares to ask, what is the use of my Great Dan Dynasty to support thousands of monks in it?"

"Yeah. Raising a bunch of Taoist monks and monks who don't follow the law, they all know how to show up and recite a scripture at weddings, funerals, and marriages; the fire in Linhefang can easily kill and injure thousands of people. A legal matter can also appease the hearts of the people.”

"Yes, now the people of Linhefang have homes and can't go back, and they all sleep on the streets..."

Hearing these words in her ears, Wu Qingwan only felt uneasy in her heart, but she had nothing to do—she was the highest national teacher in the Phoenix Valley, and she was only at the sixth level of Linggu. She couldn't control the world yet. Knowing the magic of the soul is a field only the real gods of the jade-level realm can touch, and she can't pretend to be a ghost like a alchemist in the rivers and lakes.

After suffering for a long time, Jiang Yi's voice finally came from the hall:

"Xuan Yueheng enters the hall."

Yue Heng, who was standing in front, saw this and quickly got dressed and entered the hall.

Wu Qingwan also followed into the hall, but did not step forward, just stood at the back and watched.

Prime Minister Li Jingsi stood at the forefront, and after seeing them, he said:

"Elder Yue, this is the important place of the imperial court. I am discussing political affairs with the saint. I am afraid that it is not suitable for you to come here. Where is the national teacher?"

Yue Heng responded warmly: "My teacher is in retreat and has not been summoned. As apprentices and students, I really don't dare to disturb. I will definitely find out the reason for the Linhefang incident..."

"Master National Teacher, it has been two years since he appeared, are you sure you are just retreating?"

"My teacher has a high level of cultivation. In the realm of my teacher, I no longer eat the five grains. It is common for me to retreat for two or three years..."

"I, such as ordinary people, don't understand the affairs of people in cultivation. But Lao Lao Yue should not forget the responsibility of Xihuang Valley. The court collects taxes from the common people every year, and covers the food and clothing expenses of the disciples in Xihuang Valley. Gu asks for more than half of the points. Every year, he trades with Dayan, even if Dayan merchants sit on the ground and raise prices, they still send them 1,000 white jade baht to Qihuang Valley; Yue Lao knows that in exchange for a thousand white jade baht, the silver taels are enough. How long does it take for the people of a city to eat? How long does it take to plant in spring and harvest in autumn to earn that little money?"

This question was too mean, Wu Qingwan could not listen to it anymore, bowed her body, and stepped forward:

"The people of Xihuang Valley Food are worshipped, and I have never forgotten my responsibilities. Every day, my disciples are arranged to patrol the mountains to drive out monsters, and there are not a few people who practice medicine and benevolent..."

Li Jingsi turned to look at Wu Qingwan: "What Wu Xianchang said can be done by any practitioner. Fuyi Mountain, Qingchi Jianzhuang, and even the alchemists in the market can complete these duties. Why does the imperial court only enshrine silver coins? , all for you in the Phoenix Valley?"

Wu Qingwan was dumbfounded.

Li Jingsi looked at the several palm rooms in Xihuang Valley and said solemnly:

"The imperial court spared no effort to worship the Qihuang Valley, hoping that the Xihuang Valley could protect the people's peace in times of crisis, rather than using the power of the whole country to support you and others to build your own road of longevity. The beasts have been banned repeatedly, and it can be said that the impact is not large. , should not disturb the national teacher. But now the fire in Linhefang has swept thousands of houses, if it is not for the beauty of heaven, I am afraid that thousands of people will be killed and injured...

...At this time, the national teacher is still in retreat, cultivating his own way of longevity; may I ask when the national teacher should go out? When the Dayan Dynasty sent troops to fight? From what the old minister saw, if Dayan Chaozhen sent troops to fight, the national teacher might not be able to stop him. What is the purpose of the people using so much hard-earned money to support the national master's practice? "

These words were heavy, Wu Qingwan clenched her hands tightly, but had nothing to say.

Jiang Yi, who was sitting behind the bead curtain, had been watching, and said:

"Li Xiang. People in the practice are in retreat. If it is not a time of life and death, it is really inconvenient to disturb. The national teacher has been in charge of the Great Dan for nearly a hundred years, and he has made many great contributions. The teacher is the minister of the late emperor. Li Xiang's words are too heavy."

The reason why Jiang Yi was able to ascend the throne and become the regent princess was largely due to the support of Yue Pingyang.

The reason why Li Jingsi secretly planned to find out the truth of the national teacher first is because no matter how old Li Jingsi is, he can't hold back Yue Pingyang, the national teacher who has lived for more than two years. in power.

But today, on this occasion, Li Jingsi stood on the side of the "righteousness", and he was naturally just and strictly speaking:

"His Royal Highness. The national teacher has worked hard and made great achievements, and everyone in the whole court admired the civil and military people, but the courtiers also have the age of 'returning to their hometown'. The national teacher has not shown up for two years, and the capital is in chaos. Anyway, since it is difficult to perform the duties, it is time to abdicate and let the virtuous, and hand over the duties to those who can handle the affairs...

...The court will not treat deserving officials badly. In the future, the rewards will remain the same, and the national teacher can still practice in leisure and meditation. The national teacher has not shown up for a long time now, and he can't sit back and watch the chaos in the capital. Her Royal Highness can watch it, and I can't just sit back and ignore it as a minister. I also ask Her Royal Highness to think again. "

Regardless of the faction, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty agreed with Li Jingsi's statement.

In fact, in Wu Qingwan's heart, she felt that there was no problem with this statement, but after all, she was the head of Qihuang Valley, carrying a family business that had been passed down for two hundred years.

Jiang Yi was silent for a while and said:

"The national teacher has been in Dadan for nearly a hundred years, and it is inappropriate to replace the national teacher without notification."

Li Jingsi nodded: "It's really inappropriate to replace without notice; but the national teacher has never been out of the gate, and the ministers and others can't even see anyone, so we can't let the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty and even the sages wait here for nothing. I also hope that Her Royal Highness the Princess will give an order to let the National Teacher come to the hall for a talk, whether it is to stay or stay, you have to make it clear in person."

Jiang Yi looked at Wu Qingwan, considered it for a long time, and said:

"The national teacher is still in retreat, and yesterday's fire did not cause a serious problem. Forcibly summoning the national teacher will chill the heart of the national teacher. Yue Heng, you return to the Phoenix Valley and find a way to inform the national teacher. After the national teacher leaves the customs, Come to the temple for a chat."

Yue Heng quickly bowed his head: "The grass people obey."

Seeing Jiang Yi forcibly protecting the Phoenix Valley, Li Jingsi did not object and said:

"Since the princess has spoken, it is inconvenient for the ministers and others to say more. However, I still have to remind Yue Lao - the court has never been greedy for people in the practice. If you haven’t come out to preside over the overall situation, other people want to recommend themselves to be the master of Xihuang Valley, and the court will not favor anyone, and I hope that Yue Lao has a mind.”

Wu Qingwan's face turned pale when she heard the words, and she understood the meaning of the words - if Cheng Jiujiang wanted to be a national teacher and enter the Phoenix Valley, the court would not care, and all the consequences would be at your own risk.

These words are equivalent to directly supporting Cheng Jiujiang to seize the position of national teacher. If it is passed into Cheng Jiujiang's ears, I am afraid that people will soon be called in.

At present, there are only a few old, weak, sick and disabled people in Xihuang Valley, and it is impossible to deal with Cheng Jiujiang, who is at the age of fighting.

Grandmaster Bo Yueheng also understood what he meant, but his ancestors had the foundation, and at this time, he could only pretend to be confident, and bowed his hands:

"I know the rules in Xihuanggu. If I can't even keep my family business, I don't deserve to sit in my current position."

Seeing this, Li Jingsi snorted softly and stopped talking.

Wu Qingwan bowed and retire together with several senior brothers, feeling restless, not knowing how she got out of the Zhengyuan Palace, and kept thinking about how to deal with it.

In Qihuang Valley, the third uncle has led the team to Jing Terrace. At present, the remaining combat power in Qihuang Valley is only the master uncle and the second uncle who are monks in the Linggu realm. The rest are all qi refining. Yufeng has long since become a waste, and is not even as good as refining Qi.

There is no chance of winning against Cheng Jiujiang of the fourth level of Linggu with only two monks of the first and second levels of Linggu.

As for the deacons of the Qi Refining Realm, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com is barely able to leave the body with true Qi, and they can't touch Cheng Jiujiang's clothes when they fight. For most of the disciples in Xihuang Valley, it was just a change of head. Only a few headmasters and direct disciples were affected.

Zuo Lingquan placed great importance on love and righteousness, and would not stand idly by, but even if he had more combat power at the 12th level, it would be a drop in the bucket, because Cheng Jiujiang was not alone.

If only Ling Quan could jump directly to the eighth level of Linggu like last time...

This idea is obviously unrealistic, but even if it is stronger by one point, the odds of winning will be improved by one point...

There are ways to become stronger, but this stinky boy is not enlightened, is it possible that she really has to take the initiative?

Wu Qingwan's eyes were tangled and unspeakable. She kept her hands in her sleeves, rubbing the jade slip, and her mind drifted to where she was...
