Journey To the West From The Qin Dynasty

Chapter 218: The swordsman enters the palace, the master invites the immortal

Ying Zheng was very beautiful and very happy at this time.

Then he waited for the auspicious time to come, and asked Kong Jie, the Duke of Mount Tai, to invite the gods.

Everyone is drinking, eating meat, and drinking celebration wine.

Li Jue also followed at the bottom to eat. Now that it was close to Shen Shi, he also felt tired after finishing his work.

Although he really wanted to leave and didn't want to get involved in the affairs here, he had sensed the existence of a person, so he had to stay.

He sensed the presence of Genie.

In these few days when the Great Celestial Master was around, Gai Nie surprisingly didn't harass a few Great Celestial Masters, but he didn't stay at home for a day.

Going out directly, doing high-profile things outside, punishing evildoers and eliminating evil.

Gai Nie's story was spread on Sifang Street and even inside and outside Xianyang, but he privately dealt with rogue rangers, which also made Xianyang officials hate him to the core.

Neishi Zhao Teng has always wanted to arrest him, but in the end he failed.

He even found Li Jue and wanted to ask him about Gai Nie, but he gave up after hearing that Gai Nie hadn't come home for a few days.

These rangers make their homes all over the world. Maybe they get tired of living here, so they just leave.

At that time, Li Jue thought that Genie might have been squeezed out by him, and planned to go out to punish the traitors and eliminate the evil, and rob the rich to help the poor.

But now I sense that Genie is in the palace, and seems to be waiting for an opportunity.

He knew why Gai Nie's whereabouts were strange these days, and it was very likely that he didn't want to implicate him.

At the same time, Gai Nie is doing high-profile things outside, so as not to make people suspicious of doing things today.

Li Jue could even guess the purpose of Gai Nie's coming here. Mostly, he planned to rescue Kong Jie when the invitation to Xian failed.

He sighed deeply in his heart, Gai Nie, this person can be said to have good intentions for the sake of Confucianism and Kong Jie.

However, Kong Jie and the whole Confucianism are all officials obsessed, especially Kong Jie does not have the slightest self-knowledge.

He didn't have any communication with God at all, so he thought he could invite the gods.

Even at this moment, his face is red and full of confidence.

Li Jue wanted to ask him where his confidence came from.

as predicted.

Kong Jie took the Confucian scholar and danced on top of Sendai. Many people in the audience were eating and drinking. When they looked at Sendai, their faces were full of piety.

Li Jue shook her head, feeling that Kong Jie was really helpless.

He didn't go to find Genie, let alone stop him, that would reveal his identity.

at the same time.

Nor is it necessary.

If Genie wants to do something, if he wants to stop him, he can only kill him, otherwise he cannot change his will.

Li Jue intends to let Kong Jie, Gai Nie and others suffer a big loss and then talk about other things. Anyway, this time to invite Xian will definitely fail.

At that time, Confucians will definitely experience massacres, and those who can survive will concentrate on academic research, which is also a good thing for Confucians.

It's just that the life and death of Kong Jie and Gai Nie are hard to infer.

Although Gai Nie is very powerful, I am afraid he is the strongest of everyone present, but his two fists are no match for four.

There are countless masters in Daqin, and the guards are even more powerful. The combined momentum can make masters hate them.

Li Jue ate and drank heavily, and the civil and military officials around him all abandoned him.

Everyone thought he was ominous and didn't want to get close to him.

Some people even want him to leave quickly, so as not to affect his appetite here.

Li Jue smiled and didn't take it seriously. She just moved the seat farther away. It would be better to eat alone, and no one would grab it.

He actually knew that these people were seeking benefits and avoiding harm. He also knew that Zhao Gao and Yan Le were dissatisfied with him, slandering him behind his back and advocating that he was unknown.

Otherwise, these people wouldn't avoid him like the plague this time, but it was just right that no one bothered.

Moreover, these courtiers are all inferior, not worth mentioning.

There are also some nobles from the Six Nations. They are after Baiguan, and they are also after Li Jue.

But they also hated Li Jue deeply. Besides feeling that Li Jue was unknown, they also resented Li Jue for beheading King Yan and King Qi.

The remnants of these two kingdoms hated Li Jue the most.

The other nobles were all sad, they didn't dare to do anything to Ying Zheng, but they pointed at Li Jue.

Li Jue glanced at them, and what he got was scorn and contempt, and cold eyes.

He smiled and didn't care.

Right now.

Fusu came to his side, his eyes were full of excitement, and said, "Director Li, come here and drink."

Li Jue said: "Eldest son, everyone sees me and avoids me like a snake or scorpion. How dare you approach me?"

Fusu looked around for a while, and sure enough, everyone from the ministers of the Great Qin Dynasty to the nobles of the Six Nations could not avoid it.

Even the temple servants who were serving by the side kept their distance.

That is to say, when he saw Fusu coming, he came forward.

Thinking about it, it's not worth mentioning in front of shoeshine and flattery.

Fusu smiled and said, "I don't care about them being stupid."

Li Jue believed it, otherwise Fusu would not have had too much contact with him, the executioner.

Fusu was very excited and kept talking about the matter of inviting immortals. Thinking about it, he was also very interested in this matter.

After all, he studied Confucianism, and now the Confucian giant is dancing on the stage, so he naturally worships and believes in it.

When the officials and nobles of the Six Nations saw that Fusu was so close to Li Jue, they were all envious and jealous.

Some people wanted to get close, and took this opportunity to have a few words with Fusu and flatter him, but they were all forced back by Li Jue's mocking gaze.

They could only hide behind their backs and whisper, saying that Li Jue was an ominous executioner, and today will be his death day next year.

but.

They didn't dare to say these words in detail in front of Li Jue, even when Li Jue looked over, they still greeted him with a smile on Fusu's face.

For these people, Li Jue just shook his head.

He didn't even bother to smile.

Fusu continued to talk, while Li Jue said solemnly: "Eldest son, if you can't invite the immortals today, will you still believe in Confucius?"

Fusu was stunned for a moment.

He didn't seem to expect that Li Jue would say this.

Then he smiled and said, "Director Li, what are you talking about, I heard that you have three teachers who are experts from outside the world, and they are also people who seek immortals. You are convinced of this, why do you still doubt it?"

Li Jue said: "I believe that there are immortals in the world, but I don't think Confucius can invite immortals."

Fusu frowned and said, "Why is this, do you think Duke Taishan is not sincere enough?"

But Li Jue shook his head and said, "I don't think he is not sincere, but I think if the gods don't want to see us, how could they appear because of this?"

"If the immortal wants to see us, he can appear at will."

Fusu was silent for a moment.

Seeing him like this, Li Jue suddenly laughed.

He smiled and said, "Just kidding, I'm an ordinary executioner, how can I understand this, it's just nonsense. Duke Taishan will definitely be able to invite the immortal."

But when he said that, Fusu became more serious and said, "Director Li, what you said makes sense. There are immortals in the world, but they may not come because of this invitation."

"The immortals have pity, you killed Qi Wangjian today, you are still a cultivator, and immortals may not appear."

Li Jue shook his head and smiled bitterly. He didn't expect Fusu to find such a powerful excuse.

But it doesn't matter anymore, he said seriously: "Eldest son, if the gods don't appear because of this, and your father wants to accuse Duke Tai Shan, what should you do?"

Fusu blurted out, "Definitely state the pros and cons, explain the reasons, and ask Father King to let go of Duke Taishan."

Li Jue shook his head and said, "If this is the case, not only will Duke Taishan not be spared, but even you, I'm afraid you will be angered."

Fusu said doubtfully, "No, the father is not an unreasonable person, and he also needs Duke Taishan."

Li Jue said: "If you can't invite the gods, the king still needs Taishan Gong? Moreover, the king has been looking forward to this for a long time. Civil and military officials, as well as the nobles of the six countries are here. If you can't invite the gods, Taishan Gong has more sins than I am today. Sudden death at night is more serious!"

This statement is true.

When Fusu heard this, she was indeed in a cold sweat.

Surprised: "Then I immediately stop this ceremony of inviting immortals? It's just, just..."

He was so anxious that his face turned red, and he didn't know what to do.

Li Jue said, "It's too late. The only thing you can do is to ignore it."

Fusu said, "But, I can't do it."

Li Jue sighed, if Fusu could really ignore it, then it probably wouldn't be Fusu.

However, at most, Fusu is punished, locked up, or sent to the frontier, so he will not be abolished.

He just didn't want Fusu to feel cowardly by Ying Zheng because of this, and it would be inappropriate to fight against Ying Zheng.

Right now.

Li Jue said quietly, "The auspicious time has come."

Fusu's body trembled, and he really heard the temple people shouting, "The auspicious time has come, please come."

Ying Zhengdu walked down the high platform in person, stood under the invitation to Sendai, and looked at Kong Jie Dance seriously.

As for the others, including Fusu, they all knelt on the ground~www.readwn.com~ and the banquet was taken down.

Li Jue didn't know how long this farce would go on. He secretly hid a leg of lamb in his sleeve, and when he was on the ground, he secretly took a bite.

Fusu had already returned to Ying Zheng's back, kneeling with the other princes, but his heart was a little anxious.

Li Jue didn't say anything, but he told him that immortals are not so easy to invite, and he also felt that this time might end in a farce.

He couldn't even imagine how violent his father would be at that time.

Then.

The auspicious time has passed, and the gods have not come.

Even, apart from the fact that the sky is gradually darkening and night is coming, the weather hasn't changed at all.

There was not a gust of wind.

The mountain is still the mountain, the water is still the water, the palace is still the palace, and the people are still the crowd.

Everyone raised their heads, their faces full of doubts.

Ying Zheng's face gradually became expressionless.

Kong Jie, the Duke of Mount Tai, his face gradually became solemn. He was still dancing to the gods and singing Confucian classics.

but.

The auspicious time has passed for too long, and there is still no change.

Kong Jie was even tired from dancing, so he stopped and knelt on the ground, not knowing how many times he had begged God in his heart.

"Ancestors of the sky, please come quickly to the gods!"

"If you don't come, Confucianism will end!"
