My enemies became my companions

Chapter 28: Blessings and Infinite Heavenly Lord
Prince Jing's Mansion.

Lord Xu had a gloomy expression and stood with his hands behind his back.

Another elder, Huang Qing, narrowed his eyes slightly and tapped the table with his fingertips from time to time while sitting.

"Who took it upon himself to attack and kill a fifth-rank commander?"

Lord Xu's tone was icy, with a hint of chilliness.

King Jing put his hands on his knees, and he kept perking up as Lord Xu spoke.

The Jinyiwei guards kneeling on the ground were trembling with fear.

"Lord, that's what I meant."

After hesitating, King Jing spoke slowly.

Elder Xu turned his head and looked directly at King Jing, emphasizing his tone:

"Your Highness Meng Lang!"

King Jing was shocked by the blunt words and had a complicated look on his face for a moment.

After a moment, he explained:

“The captain of the West Factory is a member of the Lin Party. If we allow him to take charge of the East Factory, I’m afraid the East Factory will fall into the hands of the Lin Party again, and our many years of operation will be destroyed in an instant.

As long as he dies, Song Tong can temporarily take over the position of the governor. He has no party or faction, so he is the best choice. It will also make it easier for us to win over people from the Imperial Household Department."

It would have been better if Prince Jing hadn't said anything. Once he finished speaking, Lord Xu's face turned even more livid.

His hair and beard fluttered, and he said directly:
"But now he hasn't been killed, Your Highness. Have you ever thought about the consequences of not being able to kill him?"

When King Jing was questioned like this, he said dissatisfiedly:

"If we can't kill him, then we can't kill him. How can a captain of the Western Factory really turn the tables?"

Elder Xu slammed the table and shouted:

“We are not God!

In this world, only Your Majesty is Heaven, and only the Queen Mother is the Mother of Heaven!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire hall seemed to be shocked and instantly became dead silent.

After a long time, Huang Qing, who had been hesitating, spoke.

"It's come to this, we can only clean up the mess."

Huang Qing said calmly:
"Do it quickly and get rid of him."

King Jing was invigorated after hearing this, raised his eyebrows and asked:

"Send a... fifth-rank expert?"

Lord Xu seemed to want to say something but stopped himself.

Huang Qing glanced at King Jing and said with some amusement:
"Your Highness, at this moment, if the Jing Palace takes action again and again, do you think that the Queen Mother will have something to say? If you don't think about the Queen Mother, you have to think about the Grand Master in the palace.

All the masters of the fifth rank and above in the capital are registered in the Imperial Observatory. A drop of their blood can catch their souls and lock their spirits. They will not tolerate any reckless behavior."

King Jing's expression became complicated, and he asked back:
"Are we just going to sit back and watch him take charge of the East Factory?"

Huang Qing shook his head and said slowly:

"Did your highness forget to pray for the dojo?"

After King Jing heard this, a hint of surprise flashed across his eyes.
"The day of extermination of bandits and demons, the night of demons and ghosts."

Shangqing Dao and Yinjian Mountain are about to jointly establish a prayer center.

The blessing temple lasts for several days. During these days, the daytime is no different from ordinary times, but the night becomes the underworld where evil spirits roam. The barrier between humans and ghosts is broken and they travel together among the human world. Once night falls, a curfew will be enforced in the capital and everyone must stay at home, otherwise evil spirits will come to their homes and the wronged souls will claim their lives.

Shangqing Dao and Yinjianshan will recruit gods and ghost soldiers to eliminate bandits and demons in various places in the capital, clear out evil and filth, and pray for Dayu.

"Once we arrive at the blessing temple, all the evil spirits will appear. If a captain of the Western Factory dies, we won't be held responsible. So we can send Huang Liuqing. He is a fifth-rank warrior just like Xue Youge."

Mr. Huang spoke in a flat tone, as if he was talking about an irrelevant matter.

King Jing nodded slightly and was about to stand up when he heard footsteps outside the hall. A figure in green clothes with fire patterns walked in slowly. Even though she was just old enough to get married, she already revealed her extraordinary charm. Her eyes were bright, her pride was restrained, and her spirit was radiant. She wore a Taoist's Yanyue crown on her head and a peach wood sword at her waist with gold threads hanging down from the hilt.

Seeing the woman's figure, King Jing frowned in distress and subconsciously thought that something was not good.

"Father, the two ministers, who are you talking about?"

Princess Jing asked with great interest,

"This person is so fearful that he is going to be killed in the prayer hall."

King Jing raised his voice and said seriously:
"Wei Ying, you can't mess around with this matter."

Yin Weiying pursed his lips and smiled, saying casually:
"Father, I just don't want you to commit more sins.

Lao Tzu once said: "If one has a murderous nature, then the adverse qi will rush to the liver, and the liver qi will be fierce and strong, which will bring disaster to the body, so it is called harm."

Huang Ge Lao stood up and said to Princess Jing with a wry smile:
"Your Highness is a cultivator, a Jade Lady of Taihua. It's a pity that ordinary people like us have to commit murder when we wander around the court."

Yin Weiying did not answer, but asked in return:

"What is the name of this captain of the West Factory who is in charge of the East Factory you are talking about?"

King Jing did not want his only daughter to be involved in this matter, so he refused:

"You don't need to care what his last name is, he's just a dead man."

Yin Weiying did not get angry. Seeing that her father had lost his patience, she directly explained her purpose:

"Father, I didn't want to get involved in this matter, but there is one person in the East Factory that I am particularly concerned about.

They are the Min Ning and Min Yue Chi mentioned in the prophecy.

Although I have never seen him, this boy has a deep affinity with Taoism, and is both a dragon and a phoenix. If he follows me to the mountains to practice Taoism, he can become the Golden Boy of Taihua. "The Golden Boy holds up the purple medicine, and the Jade Girl presents the green lotus.

In this Central Plains, there are numerous Taoist sects, but how many of them have the true method and can achieve the Golden Immortal? There are very few, and you can count them on two hands. And Taihua Mountain is one of them.

In addition to being the daughter of King Jing, Yin Weiying was also the Jade Maiden of Mount Taihua. There is an ancient saying: "Carry the Jade Maiden of Taihua and summon Mi Fei of Luopu." Every sixty years, Mount Taihua would open an altar and throw divination blocks. The gods would choose a Jade Maiden, and the Jade Maiden would choose a Golden Boy. The two would go up the mountain together to practice Taoism until they ascended to heaven in broad daylight and achieved immortality.

After hearing his daughter's words, King Jing lowered his head and thought for a while, then sighed and said:

"If you insist on doing this, the two elders have heard it. When you pray at the temple, you can kill the captain of the Western Factory, but be careful not to hurt the descendants of the Min family."

Yin Weiying lowered her head, her black hair falling down her back like a waterfall, and she sang:
"Blessed be the immeasurable heavenly master, with inconceivable merits and virtues."

………………

The next morning arrived.

Outside Donghuamen, Min family.

Min Ning looked at the "Cangshan Fist" on the table with unclear eyes.

When she returned home last night, she pushed the door open and saw the boxing manual placed next to the crack of the door.

When he opened the boxing manual, he found a note tucked under the cover.

[I don't need you to repay me, I just return the property to its original owner. 】

Looking at the boxing manual, Min Ning remained silent.

She didn't expect that Chen Yi would actually do such a thing.
She suddenly thought back to the baby tower and everything that had happened before. The most outrageous thing he had done was just threatening her sister. She could see that he had desires for her sister, but in the end, didn't he do nothing?
When I fell into his hands before, he didn't kill me or touch me. When my sister fell into his hands that night, she said that he just kissed her, but he could have obviously attacked her.

This person always seems to be forcing himself to do bad things. Does he still have some conscience?

After a long time, she took a deep breath, put away the boxing manual, then changed into official uniform, and strode towards the East Factory.

………………

When Yin Tingxue woke up, Chen Yi had already left.

She casually changed into the clothes he had placed on the bed. While changing, she noticed the reddish color of his trouser legs and vaguely remembered that she had her period today. Thinking of having to wash these menstrual-stained clothes for him, she clenched her fists in shame and humiliation.

Not long after, Yin Tingxue calmed herself down and after a simple wash, she started to read the strange stories novels that Chen Yi had bought. She seldom read such books in the past, because they were all miscellaneous books not suitable for her, the daughter of King Xiang. Usually, if there were such books, they were only circulated among the maids, and the servants would never dare to expose them in front of her.

In the past, Yin Tingxue read the most books, apart from the Four Books and Five Classics. Because of her mother, she read Buddhist scriptures the most. She also often went to Yintai Temple to meditate for a while. She didn't know what happened to Yintai Temple now, and her thoughts were wandering.

She really wanted to go back, even though it had only been a few days since she left. She really wanted to go back. Her mother often teased her, saying that she was the daughter of Yintai Temple and was adopted.

She is the daughter of Yintai Temple.

But how can she go back?
Yin Tingxue immediately thought of Chen Yi.

Otherwise...please him...I'm sick anyway, if I just act weak, maybe...

Before her thoughts had fully come full circle, Yin Tingxue snorted coldly when she thought of that annoying face.

She murmured:

"No, I definitely won't ask him!"

If I ask him for help, he will have something on me again.

Whenever he wanted to humiliate himself, he would mention Yintai Temple in every matter.

She was afraid that she would have to beg him to survive in the future...

Yin Tingxue thought about the Yintai Temple under the heavy snow, and pondered again.

Really... don’t ask?

But now...who else can I rely on besides him?

Thinking of this, thinking that if I have to rely on begging him to make a living in the future,
Yin Tingxue became worried and looked out the window in silence.

........................

The next afternoon, Chen Yi officially took over the position of supervisor and slowly walked to the East Factory.

As soon as he stepped through the door, he felt the curious and frightened gazes of the Dongchang men.

What happened yesterday had already spread throughout the East Factory. Not only that, perhaps even the West Factory and the Embroidered Uniform Guards, and even the general public, had heard the rumor that this man had killed more than a dozen Embroidered Uniform Guards before taking office.

"This generation of governor... fought one against 15 people, and only five survived. One of them was seriously injured and will never be able to serve in this life. No wonder he can only be the acting governor."

"He's here, so keep your voice down. Otherwise, if we don't like him, he'll find a chance to chop off our heads, and that'll be the end of us."

"No way. On the day when the East Factory was attacked, he even spoke up for Governor Xue. It seems he is not that kind of person."

There was a burst of whispers in the training ground, but Chen Yi was calm and didn't take it to heart.

He walked quickly to the lobby and said directly:

"Call the two recorders to the case room and count the files inside. Bring me any files related to Prince Jing's Mansion."

After last night, Chen Yi had secretly made up his mind.

Since the Ding'an Party wants to get rid of me, then I naturally cannot let the Ding'an Party have an easy time.

Don’t you Ding’an Party claim to be a clean party? Don’t you claim not to be in league with the Lin Party?

How many officials are truly clean?

Originally I just wanted to trick the Lin Party,

Now, I will also trap you Ding'an Party.

Since the blessing temple is about to arrive, Chen Yi, who has already decided to complete the copy perfectly, begins to think about how to kill both the Dinglin Party and the Dingan Party at the same time.
