Start Summoning West Factory Flower

Chapter 157
Silent night.

The lights in Bailianzong were still dim.

Ji Ming was wearing a loose gown and sitting at the desk, watching the message in his hand by the candlelight.

Every elder of Bailianzong has his own responsibilities. For example, Ji Ming is in charge of the affairs of Baizongdian, and the letter in his hand is sent from Baizongdian.

However, Baizongdian seems to be a little abnormal recently.

Since he and Lu Changtong came back from Shanhai County, Lu Changtong's position as the Palace Master was suddenly replaced by someone else.

Although Baizongdian is a subsidiary force of Bailianzong, Baizongdian is still an independent institution, and unless something particularly important happens, it is not good for him to intervene in Baizongdian's internal affairs.

But it stands to reason that he should be informed in advance about things like the replacement of the Hall Master, but Lu Changtong's resignation from the Hall Master position was not told until the results came out.

At that time, Baizongdian gave him the reason that Lu Changtong resigned on his own initiative, and they selected a temporary acting palace master internally.

At that time, he thought that Lu Changtong had been hit in Shanhai County, so he took the initiative to resign, so he didn't take it too seriously.

But recently Baizongdian's behavior has become more and more weird. In just two months, several sub-Hallmasters have been replaced, and none of them have been reported to him.

If his disciples hadn't heard about the changes in Baizongdian, he, the elder in charge of contacting Baizongdian, would still be kept in the dark.

"Has nephew Wei Bin, the master of Beishan Provincial Branch, been dismissed?" He frowned and said.

The disciple in front of him hurriedly replied: "No, Senior Brother Wei is still the sub-Hallmaster, but the three deputy Hallmasters have been replaced by two, leaving only Liu Yuan of the Four Swords Sect."

"Four Swords Gate!" Ji Ming frowned even deeper.

I don't know how much money Sijianmen has made in cooperation with Shanhai County in the past two years, and now Sijianmen is probably biased towards Shanhai County.

Ji Ming looked at the information in his hands, the master of the headquarters of Baizong Hall was replaced, and four of the masters of the top ten branch halls were replaced, and those who did not move were almost all disciples of Bailianzong, and they seemed to be taking care of Bailian. Zong's attitude, but many deputy hall masters have been replaced underneath.

Since then, almost all the senior officials in the Baizong Palace have been replaced except for the disciples of Bailianzong. This is not a trivial matter.

"Why didn't you tell me about this earlier?" Ji Ming asked.

The disciple in front of him said with a bitter face: "The Baizong Hall will be adjusted every few years. At first we thought it was a normal adjustment, but recently we found out that the replacement seems a bit strange."

Ji Ming frowned, and didn't say much. It's true that his disciples couldn't be blamed for this situation.

"Where is Lu Changtong now?"

"I don't know, since he resigned as the Hall Master, he hasn't shown up for a long time."

Ji Ming's expression changed, and a gleam flashed in his eyes.

"He may be dead."

he said in a low voice.

"How is it possible? Master Lu is a strong master, who can kill him silently."

"Who else but Zheng Qingsong?" Ji Ming said.

Although he is the actual controller of Baizongdian, don't forget that Baizongdian was established by Bailianzong and the imperial court together.

Over the years, although Baizongdian has been controlled by him, in fact Baizongdian still maintains a lot of autonomy.

Apart from Zheng Qingsong, he couldn't think of anyone else who could do this.

"It seems that I have been ignoring it." Ji Ming's expression was gloomy and uncertain.

"Master, what should we do next?" the disciple asked.

Ji Ming closed his eyes slightly, pondered for a moment, and said: "Tomorrow I will report this matter to the suzerain, you should go back and rest first."

The disciple quickly said, "Resignation, disciple."

Then he left the room.

Only Ji Ming was left under the flickering lights.

suddenly.

There was a knock on the door that had just been closed.

"what's up?"

"Master, there is one more thing I forgot to report." The disciple's voice sounded outside the door again.

"Come in." Ji Ming still closed his eyes, thinking about Baizongdian in his mind.

The door opened, and the disciple walked into the room slowly, but did not speak.

Ji Ming suddenly opened his eyes, and the pupils in his eyes narrowed.

"you!"

But before he could speak, a long thorn protruded from his chest.

The severe pain made his face turn grim.

"What are you doing?" he said angrily and terrified.

It's a pity that the disciple in front of him didn't answer him, but just reached out and grabbed his neck.

Click!

The neck bone was broken and the throat was crushed.

But the disciple in front of him turned into his image under the flickering candlelight.

"Ahem, tomorrow I will report this matter to the suzerain, you should go back and rest first."

Ji Ming's voice echoed in the room again.

Beside the flickering candlelight, Ji Ming was still bearded.

It's just that there is another Ji Ming lying at the foot of this Ji Ming, it's hard to tell the real from the fake.

……

Shanhai County, Prince Rui's Mansion.

In early summer, the sea breeze is still refreshing, and a row of weeping willows are swaying by the artificial lake, like slender dancers dancing.

Under the weeping willows, Zheng Ming was lying on the rocking chair with a lazy expression.

"Your Highness, is Sister Duo'er coming back soon?"

Next to him, the 16-year-old Song Baobao has faded away from his childishness. He is wearing a light blue pleated skirt and a green veil over his shoulders. His hair is casually pulled up in a loose bun and hangs down his back. His eyebrows are like emerald feathers, and his muscles are like condensed Yu, eyes like water, with a slight chill.

Zheng Ming opened his eyelids and looked at her, feeling like 'I have a young girl in my family', but why does he resemble someone so much?
He turned to look at Lian Xing on the other side.

One big and one small, the master and apprentice are very similar, especially the temperament of the body and the look in the eyes, they are exactly the same.

"Should be back soon." Zheng Ming said.

Song Baobao looked at him helplessly and pouted.

She has asked several times, and Zheng Ming has always said so.

The corner of Zheng Ming's mouth twitched, and his eyes wandered towards the lake.

Bai Feng, if you don't bring Chen Duo back, the image of the king in the baby's heart will be completely destroyed.

He doesn't have clairvoyance, so he doesn't know where Bai Feng and Chen Duo are now, but he guesses that it's almost time to finish the task and come back soon.

However, Song Baobao didn't intend to let him go, his mouth was so pouted that he could hang a bottle of oil, and he looked at him pitifully.

Say nothing, do nothing, just look at him like this.

Zheng Ming had no choice but to continue looking at the lake, hoping to see the flowers on the lake.

Well, at this time, Xiao He has just shown her sharp corners, and it will take a while for the flowers to bloom.

"Girl, didn't this king just let Chen Duo go out for a few days, what about you?" He still couldn't help but say.

If you want to say who in the palace has the best relationship with Chen Duo, it must be Song Baobao.

Ever since Chen Duo was summoned, she has been with Song Baobao. The two girls, who are not much different in age, get tired of being together every day.

As a result, if Zheng Ming asks Chen Duo for help now, he has to get Song Baobao's consent first.

Of course, Song Baobao didn't dare to disobey his orders, but this aggrieved appearance made him even more headache.

"I miss Sister Duo'er." Song Baobao said.

Zheng Ming rolled his eyes.

Didn't it just go for a few days, as for?

At this moment, he suddenly raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Isn't this back?"

Above the sky, the white phoenix flew gracefully and landed slowly on the open space by the lake.

Song Baobao's eyes lit up immediately, a burst of fragrance wafted by, and he had already appeared beside Bai Fenghuang.

"Sister Duo'er, are you back? Are you injured?" She looked Chen Duo up and down.

Chen Duo smiled, and said softly: "No, with Lord Baifeng around, I don't even have a chance to make a move."

Immediately, the two chatted chatteringly, completely ignoring a certain prince.

Fortunately, someone did not ignore.

"Meet Your Highness." Bai Feng came to Zheng Ming and bowed.

Zheng Ming asked: "Is it going well?"

"Return to Your Highness, everything is fine."

Bai Feng said: "The black unicorn has replaced Ji Ming, and the Oriental girl has also taken control of Xijue City. Chen Wushan, Wu Zixiu, and Monk Shande are all dead."

The corners of Zheng Ming's mouth curled up slightly, it seemed that this plan was completed perfectly.

"How about Xijue City?"

"Ms. Dongfang has ordered the closure of Xijue City, and temporarily the Xijue City will not communicate with the outside world." Bai Feng said.

Zheng Ming nodded slightly.

Xijue City lost three city lords at once, and its strength was greatly reduced. At this time, closing Xijue City is indeed the best choice.

Not only can it reduce unnecessary troubles, but it can also prevent Bailianzong from discovering clues.

"Thank you for your hard work, go and rest first." Zheng Ming said
Then Bai Feng resigned.

Zheng Ming looked at the surface of the lake that was stirred up by the breeze.

Xijue City is already in his hands, so it's time to look at Zheng Qingsong's plan.

Now Zheng Qingsong has been in retreat for more than a month, and it should be over.

……

Kyoto, Imperial Palace.

The originally peaceful and quiet monastery is now filled with a chilling atmosphere. Hundreds of guards around are wearing cold iron armor and holding cold weapons, stern and fierce.

There was a dead silence, without a sound, even the birds were gone.

As for the court ladies and eunuchs, they dare not take a step closer.

On the opposite side of the Taoist temple, on a pavilion, two old men are still sitting on the terrace.

At this time, they didn't play chess, they just closed their eyes and sat cross-legged on the cattail mat, breathing heavily.

Suddenly, the eyes of the two old men opened, and they looked at the corridor between the majestic palaces in the distance.

I saw one old and one young walking slowly.

The white-haired Wang Shouming had a kind smile on his face, a loose Confucian shirt fluttering slightly in the wind, and his long beard was neatly stroked without any mess.

Lin Yi, with a square face, followed Wang Shouming closely, and saw the two old men on the balcony of the pavilion from a distance.

Obviously the two old men didn't do anything, but the pressure in Ji Dong's heart increased sharply, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

"Cough cough~"

Wang Shouming coughed lightly, as if he interrupted something.

Lin Yi's heart immediately relaxed, and he let out a hard breath.

He wiped the nod on his forehead, but he was even more horrified in his heart.

On the terrace, the two old men showed bright smiles.

"This old guy Wang Shouming is really getting bolder."

"Hehe, he is now a Confucian master, and he is no longer the stupid scholar he was back then."

"In my eyes, he is still a dull scholar."

"Hehe, you lost to him many times back then, why are you still not reconciled?"

"That was back then, and now I won't lose again."

The two of you started to tease each other.
