This martial saint's health bar is too thick

Chapter 341 The First Prince

August 1, the forty-seventh year of Hongguang's reign.

On the fifth day after the sacrifice to heaven, Yun Shu was finally about to return.

The Zhengfa Pavilion sent a real person to garrison the Daluo Sect.

Of course, this immortal does not take charge of any affairs in the Daluo Sect, nor does he have any authority.

He represents the court's supervision over the Daluo Sect!

Even if this kind of regulation only has superficial significance, it is enough to change many things.

Just like Yun Shu would preside over the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven with Tai Yu every year in the future.

After the real person from the Zhengfa Pavilion arrived, Yun Shu took Li Fei and others to leave Daluo Sect and took a special train from Daluo Town to return to Lanling City.

In the car, Lv Wenxing took the opportunity to give Li Fei a brief account of what had happened in the past period of time:
"Before, I saw that you were immersed in cultivation all day, so I didn't disturb you. But now that we have left Daluo Sect and are about to return to Kyoto, there are some things I think you should know."

Through his narration, Li Fei learned what had happened in the past two months:

The influence of Daluo Sect on the Dalan Dynasty is not limited to Ming Province. There are people from Daluo Sect in the courts of seven or eight provinces.

Over the past two months, Yun Shu has been in charge of Daluo Sect, while the imperial court has been cutting off Daluo Sect's "tentacles" outside.

In more than two months, the courts in more than one hundred cities were cleaned up!
The evil weapons used by the twenty-three provinces, including the central imperial guards, all border troops, and the imperial camp troops were all inspected.

In addition, a total of eleven cabinet officials, seventy-seven seat officials, and four hundred and fifty-nine imperial officials were imprisoned!
As for the subordinate officials and clerks who were implicated, their numbers were countless!

And this is already a lenient treatment, otherwise the number of people to be dealt with would be several times more!
After all, the Daluo Sect is the ancestral home of Taoism, and the court will inevitably involve people from the other two sects in the process of handling the case.

In this regard, the central government's attitude was to let go if possible, and did not kill all of Taoism because of the Daluo Sect incident.

After all, targeting the Daluo Sect alone is tantamount to scraping the bone to heal the wound!

A towering tree that had existed for more than 800 years fell down, and the number of roots pulled out was unimaginable.
"Sir, after returning to Beijing this time, are you going to bring up the matter of re-investigating the old case?"

After Lu Wenxing finished telling Li Fei about the past, he began to talk about the future.

He knew that Li Fei had taken over the case of the longevity pill at the court meeting in order to reopen an old case.

Li Fei did not hide it and nodded: "Yes, although the longevity pill was not found, my contribution should be enough to exchange for a chance to re-examine the case."

Lu Wenxing looked into Li Fei's eyes and said, "Sir, please forgive me for being blunt. Your contribution may be enough, but when you return to see the emperor this time, you'd better not bring up this matter on your own initiative. You must let His Majesty bring it up."

Li Fei smiled.

With his experiences in his previous life, he certainly understood the taboos of those in higher positions.

Of course he should be rewarded for his merits, but he should not take the initiative to propose how to reward him or what to reward him.

Lu Wenxing hesitated for a moment, then said softly, "If you are worried that things won't work out, you can ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for help."

Li Fei was startled and looked at the other party with some surprise: "Do you think I should stand on the side of the prince?"

Lu Wenxing first used a strong force to completely wrap up the space in the box to make sure that the sound would not be transmitted, and then he said cautiously:
"In my humble opinion, if His Royal Highness does not make any mistakes, his chances of success in the future should be the greatest."

Li Fei looked into Lu Wenxing's eyes and saw honesty.

No matter where you say these words or to whomever you say them, they are a taboo!
The fact that the other party could say such words to him meant that he really intended to hang out with him in the future.

"So what do you think of the other two princes?"

Since Lu Wenxing had said so much, Li Fei was no longer "polite" and continued to delve into the topic.

Lu Wenxing was very happy to hear this.

The fact that Li Fei could talk to him about this meant that he was beginning to treat him as one of his own, so he decided to share some 'dry stuff':
"I entered the Zhige Pavilion in Beijing fifteen years ago and have been in this position for fifteen years. I don't have any great abilities, but I think I have some ability to judge people. There are two princes in the court. The eldest prince is brave and domineering, while the third prince is gentle and deep. It seems that the eldest prince is more reckless and foolish, but if you ask me, if there is really a chance, the eldest prince actually has a greater chance."

"Oh?"

Li Fei was a little surprised.

He recalled the eldest prince who had chased out of the palace to step on him. He thought he was a narrow-minded, domineering person, but he didn't expect that Lu Wenxing's evaluation of him was even higher than that of the third prince.

"Your Excellency should know that most of the royal family's children do not have high martial arts achievements or skills."

Lu Wenxing said.

"Correct."

"Because the son of a rich family does not sit in the hall, it is the most noble life in the world. How many people are willing to risk such a good life to fight with poor people?"

"."

"But there are always some outliers in the royal family, and the eldest prince is one of them."

"Just because of his martial arts achievements, you think more highly of him?"

"Of course not only that, Your Excellency, do you know His Royal Highness Prince Li?"

"I know, the emperor's uncle, the martial saint of the world." "Your Highness Prince Li may be closer to the eldest prince!"

Lu Wenxing said a little nervously.

Li Fei showed a surprised look: "How did you know about this? Or does everyone know about it?"

"How could everyone know about this?"

Lu Wenxing laughed.

Li Fei also realized that he had asked a stupid question.

Imagine if a member of the royal family with the cultivation of a Martial Saint openly approached a prince who had a chance to compete for the throne, what kind of scene would that be?
No matter who is the emperor, he will never allow such a thing to happen!
Li Fei looked at Lu Wenxing, and he didn't expect that the other party actually revealed a "big melon" to him!
"This is just my guess, there is no evidence."

Lv Wenxing said, "I am the Supervisor of Special Weapons in Zhige Pavilion, responsible for the casting, maintenance, and distribution of Yongzhou's special weapons. About nine years ago, the Yongzhou Zhige Department submitted an application to apply for a fifth-level special weapon for a regular martial artist.

I looked at the merit record, which was a record of defeating bandits. The Yongzhou Zhige tribe gave most of the credit to this regular martial artist because he performed the best. But even so, it would be difficult for him to obtain a level 5 exotic weapon based on his merit this time.

This person had no background and no one had informed him in advance, so my response was to reject the application. Then I submitted the matter to the higher authorities, and they actually approved the application.

Of course, this kind of thing has happened before. I didn't take it seriously until half a year later, when a good friend of mine from Yongzhou came to Lanling City. When I talked to him, he mentioned that a younger generation in his family was appreciated by Prince Li's Mansion. This younger generation was the one for whom the Yongzhou Zhige Tribe had applied for a level 5 exotic soldier.

I was a little surprised after hearing this, because Prince Li's Mansion has no connections in Zhige Pavilion, and the application for the fifth-level alien soldier was finally approved by Lu Feng, who is on the side of the eldest prince. "

After listening to it, Li Fei sorted out the connection.

King Li had his own fiefdom in Yongzhou, so King Li's palace was also in Yongzhou, but King Li himself was in Lanling City all year round.

But being appreciated by Prince Li's Palace and working for the palace, one can naturally be regarded as Prince Li's man.

"You mean to say that the official martial artist of Yongzhou was able to obtain the fifth-level special weapon through the relationship with the eldest prince, and this official martial artist eventually became King Li's man?"

Lu Wenxing nodded: "That's right, so I said there is no evidence, it's just a guess. After all, this regular martial artist only started working for Prince Li's Palace after he obtained a level 5 alien weapon."

Li Fei: "But how can a martial artist with no background get the eldest prince's approval? A mere level 5 weapon is not worth alarming a minister. This is your doubt, right?"

Lu Wenxing smiled: "That's what I mean."

"But just based on this incident, it is far from enough to say that Prince Li is on the side of the eldest prince. Maybe it is just a gesture of goodwill."

Li Fei murmured.

"Sir, even if it was just a gesture of goodwill, the fact that the First Prince was able to get Prince Li's Mansion to accept this gesture nine years ago shows that the First Prince is not as simple as he seems."

Lu Wenxing said.

Li Fei was startled, then nodded: "Indeed."

In a world where force is respected, the support of a martial saint is naturally a very important bargaining chip. Even if it is just a possibility, Lu Wenxing is willing to rank the eldest prince ahead of the third prince.

The reason he said this to Li Fei at this time was naturally because Li Fei had offended the eldest prince, and had offended him severely!

“I’m not going to take sides.”

Since Lu Wenxing gave such a secret, Li Fei did not hide his thoughts.

He had no intention of standing on the prince's side.

After he was ordered to investigate the case of the longevity elixir, the Crown Prince and the Third Prince had a conversation with him respectively.

The two have completely opposite views on this case. The prince advises Li Fei to give up the investigation, but the third prince tells Li Fei that this is a good opportunity.

The final result proved that what the third prince said was right.

Afterwards, did Li Fei ever think about this: was it true that the prince was not aware of the inside story at the time?
If he really didn't know, why was he the one who went to Daluo Sect, why was he the one who personally came forward to win over the Buddhists, and why was he the one who spoke for the Buddhists at the court meeting?

Without knowing the court's plan in advance, would the prince really dare to offend the Taoists so unscrupulously?

If the prince knew about this, he should be very clear that there would be no risk at all for Li Fei to go to Daluo Sect to investigate the case of the longevity elixir. This was a test from the emperor.

Therefore, the prince’s thoughts are actually worth pondering.

Li Fei had never thought about joining the other party in the first place, and now he would not get too close to them.

"That's right, sir, you have made great achievements this time and have the opportunity to soar to the sky. Coupled with your talent and talent, you can become a towering tree by yourself. You really don't need to rely on anyone."

In the box, Lu Wenxing said with certainty.

He was sure that Li Fei would be rewarded handsomely after returning this time, but he didn't know to what extent.

At this time, the train happened to pass through a flower field.

Colorful flowers are blooming in the sun, and the mountains in the distance are undulating, layer upon layer, and lush green.

The breeze blew and the petals swayed gently.

The scenery outside the car window is beautiful.
