Chapter 316 Return to the Hometown
The imperial edict sent by Taiwei Zhou was simple. First, the soldiers in the palace were settled. The soldiers of each battalion in the palace returned to their barracks, and the chief officers of the central generals in each battalion went to the side hall to wait for the imperial edict. The guards in the palace were sent to temporarily replace the positions of these military generals.
Before leaving the palace, these 50,000 troops must be surrounded and suppressed in the entire Chang'an City (including the palace) under the leadership of the temporary chief officer. These people, whether they are chief officers or soldiers, will be captured and killed directly in the downtown city without trial.
Afterwards, a series of names were listed in Emperor Wu's imperial edict. The first person's name was the eunuch who was bribed by the owner of Wentian. The remaining names of Wu Mian and Gui Bugui had never heard of them. However, they were probably other civil and military officials who were bribed by the owner of Wentian.
These people were arrested by the Tingwei's men, and then they were strictly interrogated. They were asked to continue to bite out other unjust people, but among these people, the eunuch general, was taken directly to the execution ground. Emperor Wu personally criticized Ling Chi for the punishment and destroyed his nine clans. The imperial guards' front-hand general Zhou Ke was sentenced to the punishment. After the execution was completed, he cut off the head and sent it to the palace. Emperor Wu hated this person to the core and must personally verify that the eunuch general who stayed by his side every day had suffered Ling Chi's journey.
After the first imperial edict was recited, Zhou Bo respectfully received the second imperial edict from the eunuchs beside him. Then he invited Guangren, Wu Mian and others to his side. Then he read the imperial edict to these people. His Majesty Wu asked the great master Guangren to be the leader. Today, all the alchemists and celebrities who participated in this matter came to Changle Palace to see the emperor. It seems that Emperor Wu was going to grant Guangren, Wu Mian and others a title.
However, after taking the imperial edict from Zhou Bo's hand, Guangren's face became a little weird. He looked back at Wu Mian, Gui Bugui and these people. After hesitating for a while, he said to them: "Two gentlemen, you have heard it just now. Your Majesty is the one who is among the sects of the alchemist who came to Changle Palace to see the emperor. After the first Dafang Master passed away, Mr. Wu Mian was not a member of our sects of the alchemist. And Mr. Gui, you were separated from the wall by your former Dafang Master a hundred years ago, and it seemed a bit inappropriate for the two gentlemen to see the emperor under the name of the alchemist..."
"Just saying that Yan Ai is over, you don't have to give face anymore. I understand this." After a sneer, Wu Mian picked up Xiao Rensan who was still wiping his tears and walked towards the outside of the palace gate. Looking at the back of the white-haired man, Gui Bugui smiled bitterly, and then said to Guangren who was still serious: "I understand what you mean, there can no longer be an ancestor of such a seniority in the Fangshi Sect. But Master Dafang, you are a little anxious..."
After saying that, the old guy smiled at Guangren, then called Tie Monkey to follow Wu Mian: "Wait for the old man, I will take two steps..."
Looking at the backs of these people leaving, Guangren sighed softly, then turned to look in the east direction and whispered to himself: "Since Master Dafang has given me all, why do you still find such a person to restrain him? Is there anything else I don't know..."
After walking out of the palace, he met Qiu Li, who was guarding outside but never dared to go in. He had previously hid in the house to guard the iron monkey novice monk, but when the iron monkey rushed into the palace, he hesitated for a while but still did not dare to go in with it. After saying that he was also a disciple of the anti-King Liu Bi, and there were too many masters in the palace now, so his tricks probably wouldn't help Wu Mian and the others. After hesitating for a while, he decided to stay here and wait for Wu Mian and Gui Bu and the others to come out.
After the few people met, Wu Mian decided to rush to the Liaodong Underground Palace immediately. If he didn't see it with his own eyes, he would never have thought that the Yan Aihou would disappear. Because neither Little Rensan nor Te Monkey could escape for a long distance, Gui Bugui bought a carriage in Chang'an City, and Qiu Li drove them to the direction of Liaodong to lose.
Such a big thing happened in the palace, and the four gates of Chang'an City were now closed. The city was searching for foreign troops and officials related to this rebellion. I thought it would be a little troublesome when I left the city gate. Unexpectedly, I met Zhou Ke, a general who had returned from prison, who had heard that these great monks were leaving. I immediately ordered the soldiers guarding the city to open the city gate, and then personally sent their carriage out of the gate of Chang'an City.
On the way to Liaodong, due to the bad news from Yan Aihou, the people in the car didn't say much. The atmosphere seemed a little depressing. Even Gui Bugui, who liked to have nothing to say, didn't speak much. The old guy sat in the car, staring at the scene outside.
Wu Mian has also understood Gui Bugui's temper and character in recent years, and knows that the old guy has nothing to figure out. Gui Bugui can't hide what he thinks clearly. As long as the old guy figures it out by himself, he will tell him sooner or later.
The day after leaving Chang'an City, they heard the news that the fast horses in the capital were coming out. Zhou Ke, who had the greatest contribution in the suppression of the rebellion, was promoted to the title of General. The great master Guangren actually received the title of Tianshi, because he and his disciples were all outsiders, so they did not have the title. However, Emperor Wu still rewarded a large amount of money and silk, and the three spiritual mountains in the Han territory were also rewarded to the alchemist sect. As for Wu Mian, whether Guigui or not was mentioned in a word.
These people have already thought of this ending, and there is nothing to say at this time. At the moment, they just want to rush back to the underground palace as soon as possible and let Xiao Rensan cry happily.
Qiu Li's magic was not good in Wu Mian, Gui Bugui's eyes, but his driving skills were very superb. Compared to the coachman sent to them by the King of Huainan, Qiu Li's driving skills were much better. It originally took ten days to go, but after Qiu Li's fast horse whip, he reached the foot of the mountain below the underground palace on the sixth day.
When I went up the mountain a few times, Wu Mian and others had seen minions patrolling the mountain and trampling on plates here. However, when I went up the mountain this time, I didn’t even see a personal shadow along the way. However, several people didn’t pay attention to this. It was not until they entered the cave above that they saw a minion of seventeen or eighteen years old, who was sighing and circling around the entrance of the cave.
This minion had seen Wu Mian and Gui Bugui before. After seeing these people, the half-year-old boy was startled. After seeing who these people were, the minion cried at Gui Bugui with a "Wow!": "Old immortal, how did you know that the second village leader is no longer there..."
After hearing what the minion said, the old guy was also a little confused. The two brothers in Guilai had drunk Xiao Rensan's bath water (there may be ginseng urine inside), and Gui Bugui secretly pulled the hair of the little ginseng elf. It was cheaper to restore it to ginseng horns. Their lifespan was at least 200 yuan. Now they have lived for seventy or eighty years, so why would they say that there is nothing?
Seeing Gui Bugui getting furiously caused by this minion who had been crying for a long time, Wu Mian said to the minion: "You talk well, what's going on."
The minion was a little scared of this white-haired man who didn't like to laugh. He immediately tried to stop his sadness and told him the cause of his second son's death.
Just five or six days ago, a man suddenly came out of the underground palace that had been sealed by the ban. The man sent his minions to call the two brothers of the Gui family and told them that the people in the underground palace were no longer there. He asked them to prepare a tomb of clothes and clothes, which was an explanation to the man.
The underground palace has been sealed for several years, but now someone suddenly comes out of it. He keeps saying that the master of the two of them has passed away. In the eyes of the two brothers, even if their teacher is really passed away, it is probably because of this person.
