    Chapter 109 People coming from the capital

    The previous emperor Zhaoning was seriously ill around the beginning of spring. However, I don't know if Qu Chunfeng's rebirth had changed anything, but there were early signs, and the smell of medicine on the letter paper could not be dissipated.

    Qu Chunfeng slowly folded the letter in half and put it away again.Facing Wu Xianrong's gaze, he didn't reveal a word, and only said: "It's not a big deal. I'll send you a letter and you can send someone to deliver it to the capital as quickly as possible."

    It's a good thing to have someone to take the lead. It saves him the trouble of saying something. How could Wu Xianrong not agree? He immediately invited Qu Chunfeng to the study, studied ink and paper in person, and waited beside him: "May I ask, sir, where are you going these days?"Are there any findings from searching for the sharks' traces? Xianguan has already prepared masters who are familiar with water, and there are dozens of warships. When the water and land are attacked from both sides, they will be unable to escape. "

    Although Wu Xianrong still didn't think there was a shark, he still wanted to speak beautifully in the scene. What if he found it?Finding the elixir of immortality for the emperor was a huge achievement, so he had to contribute no matter what.

    Qu Chunfeng dipped his pen in ink and started writing. When he heard his words, his pen suddenly paused, and a large area of ink suddenly appeared on the paper. He changed a piece of paper without changing his expression and said softly: "Mr. Wu, firstBack off.”

    This is because he is too noisy.

    Wu Xianrong's face was sullen, and he could not help but complain in his heart. The Imperial Master was not very good at doing things. He seemed to be upright, but he accepted a pile of gold and silver from himself. As the saying goes, someone who is soft-handed will eat soft-mouthed people, but the other party has no sympathy at all.No face left.

    Wu Xianrong said: "Then... I will resign first, my lord, just write a letter and give instructions."

    After saying that, he bowed and exited the study, closing the door behind him.

    Qu Chunfeng really didn't know what to do with this letter. Although Emperor Zhaoning was fatuous and old, he was not easy to fool. He had tried all kinds of methods for the art of immortality. He had read all the ancient books and many books to understand the sharks.Not under Qu Chunfeng.

    If there is anyone in the world who believes most in the existence of sharks, then it is none other than Emperor Zhaoning.

    If Qu Chunfeng said that he had not found any traces of the sharks, Emperor Zhaoning would definitely not believe it, and he might even blame everyone in the Tian family. But if he said that he had found it, if he said that he had found it...

    What should Linyuan do?

    The name suddenly popped up in Qu Chunfeng's heart, and he was startled. The hand holding the pen tightened unconsciously, and there was a sharp click, which actually broke the pen barrel. He came to his senses and quickly gave up.He broke the pen, as if throwing away a hot potato, with a trace of unnoticeable panic.

    Qu Chunfeng only felt that something had changed in the dark, but he couldn't say what had changed. He only knew that he hated this kind of forward-looking and backward-looking feeling. Nowadays, there must be something to return to the emperor no matter what, and the shark mer alsoYou have to catch him. If you accidentally catch Linyuan by then, just let him go.

    If Linyuan is captured and released, then...

    This was the best choice that Qu Chunfeng could make after weighing the merits of the division. He changed his pen and was about to write when the system suddenly popped up. His chubby body covered the paper.The wings on his back flapped non-stop: "You can't catch sharks."

    Qu Chunfeng paused, then waved it away with a flick of his sleeves. Although he didn't speak, a few words were clearly written on his face: You care too much.

    The system hugged his pen: "Dear, if you tell the truth to the emperor, the shark family will be extinct."

    Qu Chunfeng thought to himself that if he didn't tell the truth, what would Tianyimen up and down, and Hong Guanwei in the capital, do? He looked at the system quietly: "Then what do you think I should do?"

    Qu Chunfeng maintains his fairness, but in fact his heart is very small, so small that he can only care about the people around him. No matter how far away he is, he will be beyond his reach.

    The system was silent for a moment: "Is there really no way to cure the poison on your body?"

    Qu Chunfeng closed his eyes and shook his head.

    Hong Guanwei is a master of mystical arts. He lived for more than 200 years. He has experienced two dynasties and is considered to be well-informed. He received great favor from the royal family and later joined the court and served the king. Unexpectedly, he was poisoned and suffered all the consequences.It has harmed everyone in the sect, and they have tried antidote methods, but to no avail.

    They had no choice but to obey the emperor's orders.

    The system came up with an idea: "Steal the antidote?"

    Qu Chunfeng: "I can't steal it."

    Emperor Zhaoning is not stupid, how could the antidote be stolen so easily.

    The system said: "But if you capture the shark and go back, the emperor will continue to ask you to refine the elixir of longevity. If you can't refine it by then, you will still die."

    Qu Chunfeng seemed to be in a narrow alley, with dead ends in front and behind, and no way out. He could only take one step at a time. Hong Guanwei was still under house arrest in the capital. If everyone in the Tianyi Sect had the slightest dissent, his life would be in danger.That’s it.

    Qu Chunfeng only said one sentence: "My master is still in the capital."

    The master who raised him since he was a child is a master who treats him as his own son.

    He can't ignore...

    The brush was stained with thick ink, and he could barely write the four words "Your Majesty's Personal Letter" on the paper. The system suddenly said something: "If you kill his people, he will hate you to death."】

    Another piece of paper ruined.

    Qu Chunfeng thought of the shark, and accidentally got a piece of ink on his clean hands. He reacted and subconsciously wiped it, but the more he wiped it, the dirtier it became. Finally, it turned into a black mark, and he pursed his lips and stopped moving.

    The system said: "There is no perfect way. First find a way to fool the emperor, and then find an antidote to save your master. A capable minister will choose a wise master to serve him. A fatuous emperor is not worthy of your allegiance."

    The system is just a piece of data, and it cannot think of any way to solve Qu Chunfeng's problem, but it is willing to believe that the interstellar executive reborn the host must be to abandon darkness and turn to light, rather than repeat the same mistakes.

    Qu Chunfeng was also struggling in his heart. He knew that loyalty to the emperor was not a long-term solution. Tianyimen was controlled by poisonous poison every day. They were no different from puppets. There was no way he would harm his wife and children in the future. He had to find a solution..

    For the current plan, Qu Chunfeng could only wait until Emperor Zhaoning was seriously ill, then there might be a chance of survival, and then send another person to the capital to find out about Hong Guanwei and rescue him.

    Time passed bit by bit, and he was also entangled in the entanglement between heaven and man. After about a stick of incense, he slowly started writing as if he had finally made a decision.

    Qu Chunfeng calmed down and re-drafted a memorial, but did not write much content. He only said that the sea was vast and everyone in Tianyimen was still searching. He asked the emperor to wait for the good news. He sealed it with fire paint and handed it to the Yamen officials to rush in.Beijing.

    After doing all this, Qu Chunfeng left the government office, gathered the disciples of Tianyi Sect together, and sent a few stable and reliable disciples to disguise themselves and sneak into the capital to rescue Hong Guanwei.

    Ming Xuan didn't know why, and he hesitated to say: "Senior brother, if we rescue the master, wouldn't it arouse the emperor's suspicion..."

    By then, no one in the Tianyi Sect would be able to escape the imperial court's pursuit, not to mention that they were poisoned.

    Qu Chunfeng frowned: "There is no immortality technique in this world. Even if we capture the sharks and go back, we won't be able to practice the elixir of immortality. We will still die, so we might as well try our best."

    Mingxuan didn't expect such words to come out of Qu Chunfeng's mouth, and couldn't help but look at him in surprise. After all, in his heart, Qu Chunfeng was rigid in his rules, loyal to his emperor, and had never done anything disobedient.How could he do such a treasonous act of beheading?

    Mingxuan said in a low voice: "Senior brother, I'm not afraid of your scolding. In fact, I have not wanted to be driven by the monarch for a long time. There are good men in the Tianyi sect. They are talented, but they can't do anything wherever they want.Listening to what the Hunjun said, life is really frustrating. Now that you have figured it out, the junior brother below will naturally follow you. Even if he dies, he will die happily."

    After he finished speaking, he carefully looked at Qu Chunfeng's expression. He seemed to be afraid of being beaten and took a few steps back unconsciously.

    "..."

    Qu Chunfeng never knew that Ming Xuan thought this way. In his heart, it was a good thing to be able to protect the lives of everyone in the Tian family, but it turned out that freedom was ultimately greater than life and death.

    Qu Chunfeng looked at him quietly, wanting to say something, but when the words came to his lips, he couldn't say any of them. He was used to being serious with these junior brothers, so he couldn't say anything soft, so he could only pat him.shoulder: "Senior brother will not let you die..."

    Even if the memorial sent by Qu Chunfeng was rushed for 800 miles, it would take a month at the fastest to reach the capital. However, on the tenth day, Emperor Zhaoning suddenly sent a team of special envoys, led byWang Chongxi, the general manager of the department.

    Wang Chongxi served Emperor Zhaoning since childhood. Although he was a eunuch, he was very good at observing people's emotions. It would not be an exaggeration to say that he was the closest person to the emperor. All the civil and military officials and concubines in the harem were willing to bribe him. Qu Chunfeng once had a relationship with him.We have interacted with him several times, but not deeply.

    The brigade of Imperial Guards quickly arrived in front of the Yamen of the Governor's Office in Quanzhou. The road was filled with dust and fierce momentum. The people along the way thought something had happened and fled in all directions. They were too frightened to go out. Those who were brave enough to poke their heads around saw that there was someone in the team.An old eunuch dressed as a eunuch descended from a luxuriously decorated carriage.

    The special envoy arrived three days ago and has been resting and reorganizing in the post house. Wu Xianrong has stayed in Quanzhou for more than ten years. He has never seen so many noble people from the palace. After receiving the news, he waited in front of the government office early in the morning.Smiling and attentive.

    When Wu Xianrong saw Wang Chongxi get off the carriage, regardless of his status as governor, he hurriedly greeted him, bending his waist several degrees: "Wu Xianrong, the governor of Quanzhou, has met Mr. Wang. Mr. Wang has worked hard for coming all the way. I have already orderedWe have prepared wine and food, and you are invited to come in."

    Wang Chongxi was over fifty years old, with a wrinkled face but shrewd eyes. He had a whisk in his arm. Facing Wu Xianrong's flattery, he just smiled. At first glance, he seemed a bit kind, and said in an old voice: "WeI have come here to read out the secret edict under His Majesty’s orders. We will have a banquet later. May I ask where the Imperial Master is?”

    Before he finished speaking, Qu Chunfeng walked out of the room. He was dressed in a white robe of a national master, covered with black gauze, his hair was tied up in a high bun, and he was decorated with a Tai Chi crown jade. He was carrying the Immortal Wind Dao Bone, followed by the disciples of the Tianyi Sect,Except for the official-patterned waistband, the dress is generally the same.

    Although Wang Chongxi was the general manager, he was only a fifth-rank official. It was impossible for Qu Chunfeng to wait for him outside like Wu Xianrong.

    Wang Chongxi was a charming person, and he obviously knew Qu Chunfeng's temperament, and he didn't put on any airs. He immediately leaned down to salute, with a smile on his face: "I have seen the Imperial Master, and we have to say goodbye in the capital. We haven't seen each other for several months.", you are becoming more and more outstanding."

    Qu Chunfeng ignored his false words of praise and just wanted to know why the emperor suddenly sent a large group of troops here. He raised his hand to help: "Do you have something important to do when you come here this time?"

    Wang Chong said happily: "Of course there is something important, but it is just a secret decree. I can only say that I will listen to it alone."
