Start from the thief

Several gray-white insects quickly rushed out of the seal stone and fled in all directions.

Zhao Yushu did not chase any of them immediately because it would be useless.

You will suddenly turn upside down at a point that you are completely unable to perceive.

I thought it was an invisible dividing line between heaven and earth, but now it seems to be just a randomly appearing entrance to a kaleidoscope-like world.

My goal has not changed, which is to follow these gray and white bugs to find their source.

Zhao Yushu stood in place, his eyes moving constantly, staring at at least three of the gray and white ones.

They seemed to be wandering around aimlessly, but soon began to move in a regular direction.

They may be very smart, but this intelligence is limited. At least they are not smart enough to be as smart as the hive consciousness to practice tricking Zhao Yushu.

It is instinctive to flee back to the source.

Three gray and white stripes began to swim quickly in one direction, and the distance between them decreased rapidly.

If they had run a little further, Zhao Yushu might have had to chase them, but unfortunately they were still within thirty feet.

Darkness falls.

A hand stretched out from the darkness and reached out to where the three gray and white rays converged.

There was no clue there, only extremely weak fluctuations of spiritual power.

Zhao Yushu stretched out his finger, and only half of it remained in his field of vision.

The other half seemed to have disappeared.

Zhao Yushu rushed over faster than the gray and white bug.

The scenery in front of me changed. There were green grass and tall trees in front of me, and white walls and black tiles behind me.

He was still in the Taoist temple. The scenery was the same as what he saw when he turned over from Zhang Tianshi, but not exactly the same.

There are insects chirping, birds singing, and the smell of grass mixed with soil.

There was also a sound of weak but even breathing.

Zhao Yushu walked forward, pushed open a door, let out a long breath, and laughed.

The imperial teacher left the city. He was going to welcome the Tang Dynasty's envoys. The two countries were of similar size, and he had a noble status, so he naturally didn't need to go out ten miles to welcome them. He just needed to wait at the city gate. Naturally, lower-level officials would accompany him all the way from Youzhou.

The Imperial Master sat under a makeshift shed, with only his second uncle as a guard by his side.

"He went in?"

"Maybe, if you go in, then you don't have to worry about it."

"Will it have any effect on the old immortal?"

"No, it's more than enough to fit the entire academy in there."

The two stopped talking. In the distance, they could already see the fluttering Tang Dynasty flag. The delegation was coming in a mighty procession. In Neijing's eyes, there was a dazzling yet restrained light in the delegation, like the bright moon in the night sky.

"It turned out to be him."

Second Uncle reached for the hilt of the sword, a smile forming on his lips.

"you know?"

"Of course, we are old friends."

"has a problem?"

"No problem, not worth mentioning."

This was not the first time that Li Qi served as an angel, but the last time he served as an angel, not only did he lose Jiannan Dao, but he also lost the emperor. Now he was loyal to the third emperor. If it weren't for the fact that they all happened to have the surname Li, he would have been labeled a slave of three surnames.

But on the other hand, if they didn't all have the surname Li, he would not be loyal at all.

It was not his turn to be on this mission. According to his idea, after helping Li Tong capture Wuguan, he should be given a sinecure to retire. After all, Li Tong had a real blood feud with his previous two bosses, and was willing to use him purely because there were too few available people and with Prime Minister Di's recommendation, this friendship would end after the capture of Wuguan.

Who knew that Li Tong was indeed a wise ruler? Not only did he continue to use himself, but he also made great use of him. He directly conferred the title of a prince on himself based on his military merits, with a fief of 800 households. Although it was not large, under normal circumstances it was already the pinnacle of the Li family's branch.

So he came here under the banner of a royal relative, and in order to prevent the embarrassing situation of being abducted in public by Nei Jing on the top of Yizhou city, he also sent a Nei Jing to protect him.

Humph, the Liao people are all barbarians. They signed the contract but refused to honour it. What does it have to do with us if your King of Nanyuan was killed along the way? He did not die in the territory of the Tang Dynasty. How dare they not release the Second Master and make me make this trip? When I arrive in Linhuang Prefecture, I will definitely scold them.

However, Zhao Yushu was still as stunned as ever when he took the bastard. The King of the South Courtyard was a mortal. If he wanted to kill you, he could wait for Mr. Er to come back. He could sneak into Linhuang Mansion one day and kill him with just a flick of his finger. Why did he have to do it in such a high-profile manner? Wouldn't this put Mr. Er in an unjust position?

Li Qi shook his head and saw the team waiting outside Linhuang City from afar. He suddenly became full of energy and ready to fight. He didn't pay any attention to the subconscious tremor of the person in the carriage behind him.

"I didn't expect you to come."

Lan Ling was also on the carriage. Not long after she escaped from Linhuang Prefecture, she ran into the delegation head-on. She was immediately invited into the carriage after just flashing a wooden sign. When she saw the old man in front of her, Lan Ling relaxed completely.

"How can we sit still if you two just barge into Linhuang Mansion like this?"

Old Ge smiled and held out his handkerchief to wipe the dust off Lan Ling's face: "A good girl is forced to dress like this. Zhao Yushu deserves a beating."

"Don't blame him. I forced myself to come here. But if you want to beat him up, I will definitely help you hold him down."

Old Ge laughed loudly: "I am really old now. Even Xiao Lanling looks down on me. If I want to beat him, I need you to hold him down. How can he run away?"

As the team got closer to Linhuang Prefecture, Ge Lao's relaxed expression began to fade visibly.

"Do you know who is behind this?"

Elder Ge nodded and sighed deeply: "Master told me, I didn't expect he was still alive, Xiao Lanling, it's not that I look down on your fifth-level cultivation, but I'm afraid you have to get off now."

Lan Ling was stunned: "Are you not sure?"

Old Ge smiled helplessly, "When he broke into the palace, I didn't even have the courage to fight him. Besides, he and the Imperial Master are both smart people. I'm afraid they have already figured out how to deal with the old immortal. In this world, apart from the old immortal, I can't think of anyone else who can be his opponent."

Lan Ling was anxious and pulled Ge Lao's arm: "Then let's go back together, wait for the old immortal to be ready, call the big master and the others, and come together! I believe he will be fine, and he will definitely be able to wait for us!"

The person he was referring to was naturally Zhao Yushu.

"It's not that I don't believe him, but we can't leave. We came here with the angel. Besides, we are no match for him, but we may be able to stop him today. And, Xiao Lanling, don't go back to Dongdu, go directly to Chang'an. She showed us the letter you wrote to Li Tong."

Lan Ling's eyes suddenly widened: "She agreed?"

"You will know when you go back. Come, let me take you back."

The carriage stopped, Ge Lao took Lan Ling to the side, Li Qi led the team forward, and two mirrors split into two appeared in Ge Lao's hands.

"Go to Chang'an and meet Xiaoyun first."

A ray of light burst out from the combined mirrors, and Lan Ling's figure quickly disappeared.

Mr. Ge got back into the carriage, and Linhuang Prefecture was not far ahead.

A familiar breath came, and Ge Lao subconsciously shuddered and clenched his fists tightly.
