Indulge in the national teacher

Chapter 15

Lian Zong's determined expression made Gu Fang stunned for a moment.He raised his teacup and took a sip of tea, and said, "I don't know who His Majesty is thinking about?"

Lian Zong didn't procrastinate, and told Gu Fang the answer very simply: "The former national teacher, real Yuqi."

Then, he asked Gu Fang again: "Isn't the national teacher curious why I believed what the national teacher said so quickly?"

Seeing the obvious smile on Lian Zong's face, Gu Fang remained silent.

Indeed, from the moment he told Lian Zong about his yin and yang eyes, Lian Zong always had an expression of confidence, as if he was used to these strange things, or he had experienced such things before.

Sure enough, the next moment, Lian Zong took the initiative to talk about a dangerous incident he encountered in his childhood, and the mastermind behind this incident was none other than the former Master Yuqi.

The former national teacher Yuqi Zhenren is a descendant of the Lian clan.When the Taishanghuang was the prince, real Yuqi was his companion.Later, when the Supreme Emperor ascended the throne, everyone thought that he would be a high-ranking official, but they didn't expect him to become a Taoist priest.A few years later, he even became Dayao's national teacher.

Daoist Yuqi is not just playing around or pretending to be a Taoist priest like ordinary people think, he has really learned something.And Lian Zong almost became the first victim for him to verify his knowledge.

"If Heng'er hadn't happened to have a greedy dog ​​who ate the sweets served to me by the imperial dining room, I probably wouldn't be here today." Lian Zong's eyes showed a hint of ferocity, and then he raised his teacup He drank it all in one gulp, and the taste of drinking tea was like drinking strong wine.

Gu Fang remained silent, he didn't need to think about it to know that the sweet was tampered with.I just feel sorry for the dog, who lost his life for no reason.

"In this palace, it is not suitable for dogs who are too docile to live. The national teacher does not need to be too sensitive." Lian Zong saw that Gu Fang's hand holding the teacup was trembling slightly, and he couldn't help comforting Gu Fang.

But after he finished speaking, he felt that his words were inappropriate, but fortunately, Gu Fang didn't notice his momentary embarrassment.

"I know..." Gu Fang closed his eyes fiercely, not thinking about the thoughts that some little girls still have.

Lian Zong saw that his expression was the same, so he continued to talk about the things behind the dessert: "No one would have thought that the one who ordered the palace servant to change the dessert would be the national teacher who has always shown himself to be gentle, even that palace servant, I also thought that I was shaking my head, and then the sweets were replaced."

"Why?" Gu Fang wondered.

"Because what Yuqi learned in the gymnasium is not a serious principle, but the art of witchcraft!" Lian Zong stood up "hushly", as if he still had some lingering fears about what happened back then, "In that dessert The ashes of the talisman papers painted by Yuqi were mixed in. It took a while for a human to get sick after eating it, but it was fatal for a dog on the spot.”

After staying in the palace for so long, Gu Fang naturally knew the distasteful attitude of the people in the royal family towards witchcraft.A national teacher responsible for guarding the royal ancestral hall actually learned such a vicious spell. It is really hard not to doubt whether there is something wrong with the real Yuqi and the Supreme Emperor who appointed Yuqi as the national teacher.

Although Lian Zong's description was simple, Gu Fang still felt the danger back then.

"The voodoo technique that Yuqi learned is to use spells to control people's minds, or to poison people." Lian Zong further explained, "If Yuqi hadn't accidentally exposed his feet back then, my father and emperor If we really can't keep him, Yu Qi won't die so easily."

The word "dead" that Lian Zong said at the end sounded so unhurried and indifferent, if Gu Fang hadn't already understood the entanglement between Lian Zong and Yu Qi, otherwise he really thought that What died was an insignificant person, not Dayao Guoshi.

"So today's matter is related to that real Yuqi?" Lonely figured out the connection all of a sudden.He then thought about the strangeness he saw on Lian Zong and Lian Heng today, it was indeed full of ominousness, and it was consistent with witchcraft.

Lian Zong nodded, but shook his head again: "Yu Qi is dead, and I watched over his burial. But when he was a national teacher, he took in two apprentices. When the incident happened, one of them One apprentice was directly executed by the hidden guards, while the other disappeared."

"I used to look for Yu Qi's apprentices with my grandfather, but they all ended without a problem." Lian Zong paused, and then said, "But now, I don't need to bother to find them."

"Then Your Majesty is going to step up the defense in the palace." Gu Fang thought for a while, but he couldn't hold back and said a word of concern to Lian Zong.

"That's natural." Lian Zong nodded with a smile, "However, Yuqi's apprentice can hide for so many years, which shows that his patience must be very good. Now that he misses a single blow, naturally he won't make a move in a short time."

Although he said it easily, Gu Fang didn't believe it.

Gu Fang lowered his head and thought, it's not clear whether the apprentice of Master Yuqi came back simply to avenge Lian Zong, or if he had something to do with the abolished prince.

But he wasn't worried that Lian Zong wouldn't be able to find out about this problem.How can a person who can sit on the throne of the king of God not be careful?

So Gu Fang finally just said to the calm Lian Zong: "Your Majesty is as good as you know, and I don't say much. If there is anything that I can use, Your Majesty just orders it."

"Naturally." Lian Zong actually grinned, disregarding his dignity as an emperor.

When Gu Fang sent him off to the Overseas Master Pagoda, he kept thinking about Lian Zong's informal smile just now.He thought to himself, His Majesty the Emperor was so scheming that he bribed him with a smile.

Now he is willing to make plans for Lian Zong.

That night, Gu Fang and Emperor Kaiyuan who came back from wandering talked about what happened today.

Emperor Kaiyuan showed anger and disdain when he heard the words "True Yuqi".When he heard that Master Yuqi's apprentice had attacked the two brothers Lian Zong and Lianheng, Emperor Kaiyuan immediately said that he would find Yuqi's apprentice.

Gu Fang didn't want to stop Emperor Kaiyuan, because he had the help of Emperor Kaiyuan and the others.It would be convenient for Lian Zong to find someone in the future.

However, looking at the souls of the three ancestors, he worried that they would be killed by Yu Qi's apprentice.

Emperor Kaiyuan waved his hand indifferently: "It's nothing. We've all been dead for hundreds of years, so we're not afraid of this. If something really happens, it's worth it for the descendants of our Lian family."

Prince Jin and Prince Yan were also laughing.

Gu Xin suddenly felt powerless.But he suddenly envied Lian Zong, because there were people who cared about him where Lian Zong couldn't see.

"Oh, that's right." Gu Fang remembered something, "I told His Majesty the Emperor about you, Master."

"What?!" Emperor Kaiyuan widened his eyes.

Gu Fang slightly raised the corner of his mouth and smiled beside him.

One night a few days later, Lian Heng sneaked into the National Teacher Tower secretly.He had intended to go through the main entrance, but reached the gate.He suddenly wanted to tease the national teacher who had been acting very calm.

So he hid behind the tablet of the royal ancestor, waiting for Gu Fang to come.

In fact, Gu Fang already knew about Lian Heng's arrival from Emperor Kaiyuan, and also guessed his tricks.

But he ignored it, and prepared to leave after cleaning the ancestral hall on his own.

When Lian Heng saw him like this, he could only walk out from behind the tablet resentfully.He rubbed his numb legs after squatting for a long time, and said unhappily, "It's really boring."

"It's really boring." Gu Fang hid the smile in his eyes and walked outside without looking at him.

Lian Heng hurriedly chased after him, and said to Gu Fang with a playful smile, "I'm here to find you on a serious business."

Gu Fang glanced at him, thinking, if he really had something serious to do, he wouldn't do such a boring thing.

Lian Hengwang Gu Fang saw through his thoughts, so he wasn't embarrassed, instead he said with a big grin and a grin: "In fact, I came this time to thank the national teacher for saving the emperor and me. The national teacher asks for cooking lessons."

"What?" Gu Fang thought he had heard wrong.

"The Lantern Festival will be in one month's time. I want to give Brother Huang a surprise. We two brothers haven't celebrated the Lantern Festival together for a long time." Lian Heng's face was full of loneliness.

The Shangyuan Festival is an important festival in the Dayao Dynasty that can be compared with the New Year and sacrifices.On this day, every family will gather together, talk and laugh, enjoy the moon, recite poems, and watch lanterns.

It was only then that Gu Fang realized that the Lantern Festival was almost here in the blink of an eye.He has been in this palace for almost half a year.

He suddenly felt as if he was in another world, and felt that all this was so illusory and unreal.

"National teacher?" Seeing that Gu Fang's expression was a bit wrong, Lian Heng asked quickly.

"Nothing." Gu Fang shook his head.

He also simply took Lian Heng to the kitchen on the fifth floor of the National Master Tower.

"I told you in advance that I will only do simple ones. If you don't like it, you should go to the imperial dining room." Gu Fang glanced at Lian Heng, and his tone was not as distant as before.

This sincere relationship between brothers is a precious treasure that he can't ask for and will never have.

"Okay!" Lian Heng immediately agreed without even thinking about it.He had heard from Brother Huang that although the national teacher's culinary skills were not outstanding, the food he made was different from his own, warm and full of humanity.

In order to learn Gu Fang's skills well, Lian Heng has been running to the National Teacher Tower every day for the past few days. Naturally, this situation has not been hidden from His Majesty the Emperor who is everywhere.But Lian Zong didn't ask too much, just told Lian Heng not to be too blatant, after all there are many more concubines in the palace now, there are always a few who like to look around.

Gu Fang leaned on the teacher's chair, watching Lian Zong in a good mood as he instructed Lian Heng like raising a child, his heart softened involuntarily.

But I never thought that after Lian Zong finished telling his younger brother, he first showed a satisfied expression, and then directed the conversation to Gu Fang: "On the day of the Shangyuan Festival, there will be a lantern show in the capital. At that time, the national teacher will join us Let's go out of the palace."

Seeing Lian Zong's serious expression, Gu Fang suddenly fell silent.
