Immortality in the Great Qian Dynasty

Chu Ling was startled.

Then he burst into laughter.

Fakong shook his head and looked at her.

Chu Ling said: "Do you really want to tell your father that?"

Fakong nodded lightly.

Chu Ling said: "Will Father believe it? Emperor Dayun bribed you? Doesn't he want to kill you?"

Fa Kong said gently: "What if you can't kill me?"

Chu Ling looked him up and down.

Fakong said: "I'm not that easy to kill."

"...Also..." Chu Ling thought for a while, nodded and said: "Then I will tell my father directly?"

She thought over it quickly.

It seems that Fa Kong is indeed difficult to kill.

Emperor Dayun has sent top experts to assassinate him more than twice, but failed to do so. Instead, he lost his wife and lost his troops.

She had long heard Xu Qingluo talk about these two assassinations.

One time, he directly turned the eight elders of Duntian Pavilion into his own, converted to their sect, and entered the Daxue Mountain Vajra Temple.

The other time was Zhuo Lixing, a master of Feijian Pavilion, who was also killed by him and only escaped with his life.

The masters of these two times were obviously top masters who surpassed Dayun, but their efforts were in vain.

So it’s difficult to kill Fakong!

Emperor Dayun realized that he couldn't be killed, so he changed his mind. Instead of killing him, he might as well use him for his own purposes and strengthen himself.

It is not unexpected for an emperor to endure the conflict of spirits and choose what is best for the country, the country, and the country.

If it were my father, he would probably do the same thing.

Fakong said: "Let me report this to the Emperor first, so as not to cause the Emperor to misunderstand me and really think that I want to take refuge in Dayun."

"How is that possible!" Chu Ling laughed.

No matter what happens, Fakong will never be able to seek refuge in Dayun. The Vajra Temple is in Daqian and its roots are in Daqian.

Although his father was wary and fearful of him, it might make him very uncomfortable, and he felt uncomfortable watching it from the sidelines.

There is such a powerful person, but instead of being able to win over him properly, he has to be guarded like a thief all the time, which is very sad.

But even if Fakong defected to Dayun, Dayun would be wary of him and would not dare to use him with confidence.

Dayun would think: Since I can change the court once, why can't I change the court a second time?

Since they are all feared and guarded, why should they take refuge in Dayun?

Fakong smiled and said: "You think it's impossible, but the emperor may not think so. It's better to say it in advance to avoid misunderstanding... Dayun's bribery is fake, but the estrangement is real, I'm afraid the emperor will be fooled."

"...Father is not so easily fooled." Chu Ling's tone was weak.

My father is wise and powerful, so he shouldn't be fooled like this, but... my father is too suspicious, and once he is suspicious, he will easily become suspicious.

Especially since he has always been so wary of Fa Kong, he is even more worried.

Fakong said: "Go and tell the emperor."

Chu Ling snorted: "Actually, you can just tell Father directly. Father believes what you say."

Fakong smiled.

Chu Ling rolled her eyes at him: "I'll just go tell my father."

She turned around and left lightly.

Fakong narrowed his eyes slightly and followed Chu Ling from a distance, watching her leave the outer courtyard of the Vajra Temple and walk through the alleys lightly and nimbly.

There were eight palace secret guards around her, the closest one was about ten feet away from her, and the farthest one was a hundred meters away, forming two layers of guards, seemingly loose and tight.

Chu Ling floated to the palace, feeling like she was in a deserted place.

The palace gates are just gateways, which are useless to her.

The guards and chamberlains guarding the door all clasped their fists in salute and would not ask her for a badge or anything like that.

For her, the palace is her home.

She went straight to the outside of a large hall and said to the middle-aged chamberlain guarding the hall: "Mr. Jiao, I want to see my father."

Jiao Quan, the general manager of Xuanwen Palace, smiled and said: "The emperor is reviewing the memorial. He just lost his temper. Your Highness, please wait a moment."

Chu Ling snorted: "Who made father angry again? Let me see."

Without waiting for Jiao Quan to speak again, she climbed up the steps, opened the curtain, entered the hall, and came to Chu Xiong who was immersed in reviewing the memorial.

On the wall to the north of the main hall hangs a map of mountains and rivers with dots of red and green symbols on it.

There is a long pavilion table under the "Country and Mountains Ten Thousand Miles" map, and there are five piles of memorials piled high on the table.

Chu Xiong was burying his head in the five piles of memorials, and his body was covered by the memorials.

There were three memorials lying on the carpet next to the table, all crooked and messy.

Chu Ling came to his side and coughed lightly: "Father."

Chu Xiong raised his head with a livid face, his eyes were blazing like torches. When he saw clearly that it was her, he quickly lost his anger and smiled: "Why are you here? Aren't you on duty at Prince Ming's Mansion?"

"We have changed the value again, Father." Chu Ling said dissatisfied: "We changed it two days ago, and I told you!"

Chu Xiong looked embarrassed: "It seems that my father is old and has a bad memory."

"It's not that you have a bad memory, Father, it's just that you didn't take it to heart at all." Chu Ling said angrily: "I think about big things in the court every day, how can I worry about such a trivial matter."

She was smiling when she spoke.

Chu Xiong really couldn't tell whether she was sarcastic or sincerely appreciated. He smiled and said, "You came over at this time, but you have something to do?"

"I was ordered to deliver the news." Chu Ling said with a smile: "Fakong said that Emperor Dayun failed to assassinate him, so he wanted to bribe him instead."

"How to bribe?" Chu Xiong frowned.

He knew that Emperor Dayun assassinated Fa Kong.

It's just that it was too late when I found out. The assassination had already been completed, and it was useless to send people over to help.

He was still very concerned about Fakong's safety. After all, he had supernatural powers and could do what others could not. He was a rare talent.

Chu Ling shook his head: "No, father, if you were the emperor of Dayun, how would you bribe him?"

"Bribe him..." Chu Xiong looked up at the caisson in the hall.

His eyes wandered over the complex and gorgeous caisson, and he fell into deep thought.

Chu Ling moved the embroidered cushion from the side and sat next to the table, supporting her elbows on the table and looking at him with her pretty chin.

Chu Xiong came back to his senses and saw her like this, and smiled: "Ling'er, if you were the emperor of Dayun, what would you do?"

"Me?" Chu Ling straightened his back and smiled: "I would let him build a temple in Yunjing, just like Tianjing."

Chu Xiong raised his eyebrows.

Chu Ling said: "Fakong has everything, not only money, but also martial arts secrets, not to mention women. What does he value most? ... Dayong asked him to help with a temple. They must have studied his preferences and catered to his preferences. He just likes temples."

"Temple..." Chu Xiong nodded, then shook his head: "Vajra Courtyard?"

"Vajra Courtyard is not considered his temple, right?" Chu Ling said: "That is where he settled his converted disciples, and they are all women. He can't live there all the time. It is estimated that Emperor Dayun will give him another temple, which is bigger than Vajra Courtyard, and even bigger than the outer courtyard of Vajra Temple here."

"Will he agree?" Chu Xiong said.

Chu Ling said: "This is a good opportunity. He has the ability of supernatural feet. He can get away immediately if he sees something bad. Even if Emperor Dayun has bad intentions, he is not afraid, so why refuse?"

Chu Xiong frowned.

He felt uncomfortable.

He felt that his things were being taken away by others. More importantly, Fakong's attitude was difficult to guess.

Fakong must have helped Daqian before, wholeheartedly, without any other thoughts.

But now it is different.

Dayong has been trying to win him over, but he was half-hearted, as evidenced by the Yongkong Temple.

Dayun is also starting to win him over now.

As Fakong, why should he work wholeheartedly for Daqian now? As long as he treats everyone equally, no one will be offended.

If, in the past, there was still the Vajra Temple as a handle, and Vajra Temple was under the rule of Daqian, Fakong had to take into account the court's actions against Vajra Temple.

Now there is no such scruple.

On the contrary, Daqian dare not move, dare not do anything radical against Vajra Temple, otherwise Fakong will be completely pushed to Dayun and Dayong's side, and the loss will be huge.

Dayun can't assassinate Fakong, what about himself?

He closed his eyes and recalled the situation when he saw Fakong.

Fakong's progress is incredible and beyond imagination.

Although my realm can suppress him now, I am not sure to kill him. The key is that he has supernatural powers.

After a while, I am afraid that my realm may not be able to suppress him. At that time, it depends on his face.

Thinking of this, his face darkened.

Chu Ling felt that he was in a bad mood and hurriedly said: "Father, how about asking Fakong to reject Dayun's kindness?"

She added: "I think he wants to pretend to accept Dayun's solicitation, and then turn the tide at the critical moment to deal with Dayun in one fell swoop."

She guessed Fakong's intention of asking her to come back and report to the emperor.

Chu Xiong said in a deep voice: "Will Fakong assassinate Emperor Dayun?"

Chu Ling thought about it and shook his head and said: "Father, I don't think so. Emperor Dayun has no intention of killing him anymore. He is no longer a threat. What's more, he didn't suffer any loss in the previous two assassinations. He won't assassinate Emperor Dayun for revenge. Maybe he will use other methods."

"What method?"

"Ambush, or use our Daqian masters to cause trouble for Dayun."

"Hmm..." Chu Xiong nodded: "I know."

"Father, then..."

"Let him do it." Chu Xiong said.

Chu Ling was puzzled.

Chu Xiong waved his hand and sighed: "I know."

"...Okay, father, then I will go?"

Chu Ling was very puzzled, but seeing that Chu Xiong was in a low mood, he obviously had no intention of explaining, so he didn't ask any more questions.

She could please Chu Xiong, and she liked her the most among all the princes and sons, not only because of her illness, but also because of her innocence, and most importantly because of this keenness.

This kind of sharpness made her know the limits, knowing when to be unrestrained and when to be obedient.

This was not something that came from thinking, but a natural instinct.

Chu Xiong waved his hand lazily.

Chu Ling was even more puzzled. After returning to the outer courtyard of the Vajra Temple and talking to Fakong, she found Xu Qingluo and told her doubts.

She knew that Xu Qingluo had the ability to see into the depths of people's hearts and could see a person to the bone marrow, making her the most suitable person to solve such a mystery.

The two were at Nantian Peak.

Standing on the top of the peak, facing the breeze, Chu Ling expressed her doubts and asked Xu Qingluo to solve them.

After Xu Qingluo listened carefully, she smiled and said, "This is a good thing."

Chu Ling was refreshed.

Xu Qingluo said, "The emperor has thoroughly understood the current situation."

Chu Ling was puzzled.

Xu Qingluo said: "Even if Master really agreed, the Emperor can't do anything about it. Of course, if Master pretended to agree, that would be the best, but no matter what, the Emperor can't do anything about Master anymore, which makes him uncomfortable."

Chu Ling snorted: "Qingluo, you are very proud!"

Xu Qingluo smiled unabashedly: "This is a good thing, it's good for both the Emperor and Master, it's a cause for celebration!"

Chu Ling sighed.
