Great Blue Night Watchman

To be honest, Zhang Haoran really cares about this factory. Because of this factory, he has received the attention of everyone in the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and the refugee problem has been solved. Green Willow Villa is making a lot of money every day, and he is completely free of family expenses. His embarrassment, even the Princess Mansion, has completely improved. If everything goes back to the way it was, he won't be able to bear it.

"Play the equity game with me, haha..." Lin Su smiled faintly: "Unless His Majesty takes action, no one can touch our factory!"

Zhang Haoran's eyes flashed: "Do you think it is possible for His Majesty... to really accept your request?" This factory generates more than one million taels of net profit every year, which is almost equivalent to the tax revenue of a state. Once this amount is leaked, how can Can it not arouse His Majesty's covetousness? When you can't win this factory through conventional methods, will your Majesty really be stubborn and give up? Take a hard grab?

Lin Su smiled: "Everything in this world is a matter of trade-offs. Some things are not a question of whether they can be done. The question is whether they are worth it. If the cost of something is too high, he will not do it."

"Every action in this world is based on balance..." Zhang Haoran chanted several times, his eyes slowly brightening: "Just like the matter of Li Xiaotian, His Majesty and the courtiers were obviously on the same side at first, because killing Li Xiaotian would be beneficial to him. But later, he found that the price of killing Li Xiaotian was beyond his ability to bear, so he changed his stance."

"Exactly!" Lin Su said: "To kill Li Xiaotian, he can find the legal principles of the Holy Way as support. When he pardons Li Xiaotian, he can also find the legal principles of the Holy Way as the support. The butt determines the head, the stance determines the standard, and the Holy Way governs the world, but Get what you need!”

The holy way governs the world, but only takes what is needed!

Eight words, like morning bells and evening drums, hit Zhang Haoran's heart hard.

He is a student of sages. Although he is open-minded by nature and not obsessed with worldly affairs, he is still very persistent in matters concerning the holy way. He has always believed that the holy way is the holy way and is the life action engraved in front of him. guide. But now, he suddenly discovered that the man in front of him had a pragmatic attitude towards the holy way. He persisted in what was good for him and ignored what was not good for him. How do you describe this attitude? How disrespectful! It is a typical blasphemy against the holy way.

He is not the only one who has blasphemed against the Holy Cause!

So is Your Majesty!

Court officials...so are the officials!

The butt determines the head, the stance determines the standard, and using pragmatism to selectively interpret the holy way seems to be a common rule for high-level and top figures.

The holy way that has been sacred for a long time has quietly cracked in Zhang Haoran's heart...

That night, Zhang Haoran couldn't sleep.

Lin Su didn't fall asleep either.

Having just slept in Princess Yufeng's mansion may be the reason why she doesn't need to sleep again, but that's not the whole story.

This time when we stepped into the capital, the situation was already very clear.

It is clear at a glance who is the friend and who is the enemy!

Above the Golden Palace, forty ministers knelt down, making the entire court clearly divided!

He saw it, the court officials saw it even more, and His Majesty... also saw it!

At the same time, His Majesty’s murderous intention towards him has become very clear!

Although Lin Su seemed to dare not look directly at His Majesty, he could clearly see every little move His Majesty made. He knew that His Majesty had truly had murderous intentions towards him!

As long as His Majesty is given a chance, he will kill him! Just as decisive as the day he killed his father Dingnanhou!

The game of government is not a battlefield, it is better than a battlefield.

His defense in the early stage is impeccable and watertight, but how can he ensure that it will also be watertight in the later stage? You need to know that all court officials are old foxes. Your Majesty may be the one who has truly become a master...

There is also Tianji Daomen...

There is also the Third Prince and the Wujian Gate behind him...

By the way, there is also the prince...

How to break the situation?

The next day, Zhang Juzheng left in the early morning and went to court.

Before Zhang Haoran left, he went to Lin Su's window and glanced at him from a distance. Lin Su was sleeping soundly on the bed with her eyes closed, so he left.

At three o'clock in the morning, Lin Su opened his eyes.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he got out of bed, opened the guest room door, and saw a bowl of noodles and a few dishes of side dishes on the table. There was an old man in gray sitting next to the table.

"I am a shadow!" the old man said four words.

Lin Su's heart suddenly shook, and she stared blankly at the ordinary face in front of her...

Shadow, he heard Zhang Haoran and Zhang Yiyu say, this is a mysterious figure in the villa. He is grandpa's personal guard and his confidant. All the guards in the villa are his disciples and disciples. Everyone knows that this person exists. , but almost no one has seen his true appearance.

"Don't remember this face, it's not the real face!" Shadow said, "Let's have breakfast!"

"good!"

Lin Su picked up the noodle bowl and finished it in just three minutes without using a single chopstick of the side dishes in front of him.

Putting down the bowl, Lin Su stood up: "What are your orders, Master Zhang? Tell me!"

The shadow is waiting here specially, so it is certainly not an ordinary thing.

And the only person in the entire villa who can assign him to do things is Zhang Juzheng.

Shadow smiled and said: "Your Majesty's order is for me to break your feet and send you back to your hometown in Haining to recuperate. But I don't think it's good, so I still want to hear from you with my own ears that you plan to patrol Jiangnan today. Just leave.”

Lin Su's eyes flashed: "I understand what Mr. Zhang means. I hope I can leave the capital as soon as possible and not get involved in the disputes in the capital."

“Not as soon as possible, but today!”

Lin Su shook his head gently...

Shadow's eyes darkened, and he was about to have an attack...

Lin Su sighed: "Senior, do you know that Mr. Zhang asked Brother Haoran to send me a message the day before yesterday, telling me not to come to Beijing? If I listen to him, do you know what the consequences will be? Li Xiaotian will die! And Our Lord Zhang will also resign and return to his fields!"

Shadow was shocked, resigned and returned to the field? …

Lin Sudao: "I entered the capital yesterday and left the capital today. The intention of rescuing Li Xiaotian is too deliberate. If it spreads, it will be too suspicious. Your Majesty will not be able to show it on his face... Okay, let Mr. Zhang Don't worry, I act in a measured manner. I will go to the department today to perform my duties normally, and in a few days, I will naturally leave if I find a reason."

Shadow accepted these words.

That’s right. Yesterday I flew three thousand miles to Beijing overnight and I left Beijing today. If word spread, what would people in the world say? Lin Su came here specifically to rescue Li Xiaotian! As soon as he took action, His Majesty and the court officials were collectively defeated!

These words really don’t cost money!

But if he stayed in the capital for a few days and performed his duties normally, it would be different. Everyone would ignore the fact that he came to the capital at night, and would only classify Li Xiaotian's release as a normal court meeting.

His Majesty's face looks better, the court official's face looks better, and things become more normal.

Well, sir, it's not that I don't listen to you, but I suddenly feel that this guy is really smarter than you when it comes to dealing with court affairs and figuring out people's hearts. Or maybe you really regard him as your grandson-in-law and only think about it. Let him get out of the circle of right and wrong quickly. The so-called caring is chaos...

Lin Su left Green Willow Villa and instead of entering the city, he set foot on the road to Xishan...

It may be impossible for ordinary passers-by to detect his turn, but who is the shadow? He could see clearly from a few miles away, and his eyes suddenly opened wide. You bastard, you are saying one thing after another. What are you thinking?

Go to the Inspectorate?

Your Supervision Department is in Xishan?

Aren’t you obviously reluctant to part with those little beauties?

Should I carry out the angry words the master said and break his feet? Then send it back to Haining?

Well, let's forget it. Going to Xishan to flirt with women is a very serious matter for a prospective son-in-law, the kind that can break his feet... But as a way to avoid the spotlight of the court, it is also a good option. It seems to be the same as My original design ideas were completely different but the same result...

He went back to his room, out of sight and out of mind.

But he never knew that after Lin Su reached the middle of the mountain, he did not go to Lingyin Temple in the east to hook up with Lu Youwei, nor to the Xishan Villa in the west to hook up with Princess. Instead, he went to Beifeng.

What’s on the North Peak?

It turns out there is really nothing.

But now there is a hut.

It is normal for a hut to appear in the wilderness, but when the words "Tiangji" and "Tiangji" are connected together, it becomes extraordinary.

Lin Su heard Zhang Haoran say that ordinary people couldn't get close to this hut. It seemed like there would be no end when you entered or retreated from the hut. It was like the peak of Wuding Mountain.

But when he came in person today, he didn't feel anything strange at all.

The mountain road is rugged, and the vegetation on both sides is real. The grass on the hut is swaying gently in the wind, and there are even a few small insects in the grass that have just woken up from the winter.

There is no sign at the door and the hut is pitifully small.

But as soon as Lin Su crossed this threshold, she noticed something strange...

Behind the door, there was not the expected scene in a hut, but a cave of its own. A cliff stood in the sky, and an old tree had roots on it. He had never seen this old tree outside.

When Lin Su turned around, he couldn't see the way he came, but when he opened his Thousand Degrees Eyes, he saw formations circling.

Formation!

Suddenly a voice came from the front: "From a distance, they look like dark clouds, from a close look they look like pedestrians, and from a closer look they look like old friends! Master Zhuangyuan, are you okay?"

Lin Su turned around and was slightly surprised. Standing in front of him was an old Taoist. It was the same Taoist he had seen at the roadside Taoist temple before attending the Huichang Examination that day.

"It's you?"

The old Taoist smiled and said: "I tested your brother's calligraphy that day. You brothers still owe me the money for the calligraphy test. Why don't you just pay it today?"

Lin Su also smiled slightly: "But I seem to think that your calligraphy test is not accurate. At least, you did not predict that I will be the number one scholar. Is this worthy of the name of Tianji?"

Secret!

His words clearly told the other party that I already know your identity as Tianji...

"Pindao didn't detect the number one scholar, but he found that your Lin family is both civil and military. Do you still remember what Pindao said at that time?"

"Civil and military forces stand side by side, and there is still room for the rear, and I am the one who has left the room!" Lin Su repeated his original words.

The old Taoist laughed: "Sir, tell me, if it weren't for you, would your Lin family, the civil and military pillar, be able to stand up? Is there anything wrong with what I say?"

Lin Su said: "That's right! Then I'll pay it...how about a thousand taels of silver?" Lin Su raised his hand and handed a silver note to the old Taoist.

The old Taoist refused: "Although Taoists are poor, they don't care about these yellow and white things. Why don't you pay for them in another way?"

"what do you want?"

The old Taoist raised his gaze and stared into Lin Su's eyes: "Why did the Tianji Guan disappear that day? Master, please give this secret to me as a reward."

This sentence, no matter where it is, no matter who it is, no matter when it is, is earth-shattering.

Lin Su's heart was pounding, but his eyes were full of confusion: "I'm also very curious about why Tianji Guan was destroyed. Maybe only Your Majesty knows the real secret? The Taoist priest didn't ask Your Majesty to find out, but he came to me instead? No. Do you find it strange?"

The old Taoist's eyes suddenly became infinitely vivid, and Lin Su felt a chill in his heart. His Juedai Wenxin was activated, and his soul was alert, but he did not notice that he had experienced the prying eyes of Tianji from Old Man Tianji that day. Nothing was out of the ordinary...

The old Taoist shook his head gently: "Your Majesty also doesn't know about this matter! In the whole world, only the Young Master knows about it!"

Lin Su smiled faintly: "Am I the only one who knows this? Did your Tianji Dao Sect detect this through the secret method of Tianji?"

The old Taoist looked into his eyes quietly. These bright eyes were enough to make anyone in the world tremble, but Lin Su remained calm and calm...

The old Taoist sighed softly...

With this sigh, Lin Su's heart beat involuntarily...

He really didn't know what principles were used to support the secrets of heaven and earth. He had no way of knowing how much the old man in front of him had mastered...

The old Taoist said: "I'm a poor Taoist, you might as well tell the truth! Your fate is empty, and the secrets of heaven cannot be detected."

Lin Su felt relieved, but also moved. Was his fate empty? Could it be that this has something to do with him being a time traveler? His body belongs to his predecessor, his predecessor is dead, his destiny is gone, and he does not belong to this world, so nothingness is great...

"There is not one person among billions who has a void destiny! But Pindao clearly saw that there was a person with a void destiny who was involved in the destruction of Tianji Guan that day!"

Lin Su smiled: "Not to mention your theory of destiny, the world may not be convinced. Even if it is true as you said, how can you assert that apart from me, Lin Su, there is no other person with an empty destiny in the world. people?"

The old Taoist said: "Do you remember the first words I said today? From a distance, they are dark clouds, and from a close look, they are pedestrians... When you step into Tianji Temple today, what I see is: dark clouds covering the top! Regardless of whether the world believes it or not, the poor Taoist I believe in Tao! Tianji Temple will be destroyed because of you, and your existence will be a long-term crisis for Tianji Dao Sect."

"So? You want to kill me?"

The old Taoist looked up to the sky and spoke slowly: "God has the virtue of good life, and the Taoist sect does not want to commit more crimes. Mr. Lin, how about we discuss it?"

"Tell me……"

"You follow me back to the coast of the East China Sea and stay in my Taoist sect for ten years. I promise not to hurt a hair on your head! I will let you go down the mountain when the time is up."

Lin Su smiled: "Imprisonment?"

"What do you think, Master?"

Lin Sudao: "Taoist Master! Before the examination last year, you and I were old friends for a while, but today, our friendship has ended! Do you know?"

The old Taoist nodded slowly...

Lin Su said: "The Taoist sect has countless followers and infinite power. Lin Su doesn't want to be an enemy of them, but the Taoist master also needs to understand that I just don't want to, not that I don't dare, and certainly that I can't!"

The old Taoist smiled faintly: "I really want to know how your 'dare' and 'ability' are reflected?" He spoke calmly, but there was a hint of domineering in his words. Tianji Taoist Sect, one of the five ancient Dharma Taoist sects, is so powerful that no one in the world knows about it? The person in front of me, alone, dares to threaten the Taoist sect. It is simply the most ridiculous thing in the world!

Lin Sudao: "Buddhism and Taoism have been competing for hundreds of years, and it's always hard to tell the difference. You can bet, what if I help Buddhism and Buddhism and Taoism compete?"
