The road is right under your feet

"Doctor Yun, I have been ordered to come here to convey His Majesty's order."

A loud voice sounded, and Bai Xing was awakened from his training. A bright red light rose in his eyes, and he saw through the wall a group of people waiting outside the hall.

Bai Xing stood up, walked out the door, and looked at the leader, "Eunuch Wang, what is His Majesty's order?"

Eunuch Wang was one of the eunuchs around Emperor Wu. Ever since Eunuch Li met with an accident, Eunuch Wang took over his position.

Eunuch Wang bowed and smiled, his face full of wrinkles. "His Majesty was just assassinated, so I specially ask you to come."

Bai Xing was stunned for a moment, how could he have forgotten? Another disciple of Ji Dynasty's national teacher was the commander of the imperial guards and was very familiar with the palace.

Even if he followed Wu Xingzhen in rebellion, considering how much Emperor Wu loved his son, he probably would not have been sentenced to death.

As long as you don't die, there is still a chance.

For monks like them, this palace is like entering an empty space.

Bai Xing hurriedly asked: "How is your Majesty now?"

Eunuch Wang narrowed his eyes with a smile, "The Third Princess arrived in time, Your Majesty is fine."

Bai Xing nodded, "Lead the way."

Bai Xing and others walked quickly to the bedroom. The atmosphere inside was not as gloomy as Bai Xing had expected, but was full of laughter and joy.

Bai Xing was a little surprised. Since everything was fine, why did he come to see him?

Bai Xing walked into the hall with a puzzled mood, saluted to Emperor Wu and said, "Your Majesty."

Emperor Wu was so amused by Wu Qingshuang that he couldn't close his mouth. Hearing this, he looked at Bai Xing with a smile on his face, "Doctor Yun is here. It's just right. We were just talking about you."

Bai Xing was puzzled. Talking about me? I didn't hear his name just now.

His eyes swept across Wu Qingshuang and Wu Yaxin. Wu Qingshuang returned to her heartless appearance, occasionally smiling coquettishly in front of Emperor Wu.

Wu Yaxin behaved in a dignified and polite manner. She just stood aside with her hands covering her mouth and smiling, with a rare gentleness in her eyes.

It was so peaceful and warm, so beautiful that Shirahoshi even doubted her own eyes. Being born in an imperial family, she could still have such pure family affection.

What was said to Wu Xingzhen before was not entirely false. This royal family seemed to attach great importance to family affection and filial piety.

He originally thought that Wu Qingshuang was just a trap to enforce the law, but he didn't expect that she was leading by example. She loved every family member of the royal family and every citizen of the Wu Kingdom.

Therefore, it was both surprising and unsurprising that Wu Xingzhen was pardoned. This seemed like something this weird royal family would do.

"I wonder why Your Majesty summoned me?" Bai Xing lowered his head and greeted politely.

"Now Zhao Cheng has been executed, and the national teacher has been brought to justice. General Wu will lead a million-strong army to the south to crush the Ji Dynasty in one fell swoop." Emperor Wu said cheerfully, without any airs, as if he was just chatting with the uncle next door.

Bai Xing was stunned for a moment, "Congratulations to the Wu Kingdom for expanding its territory."

Emperor Wu stopped and said, "This can be considered a blessing in disguise. Otherwise, how could I, who has half of my body buried in the territory, have such an opportunity? This is inseparable from the strong support of Doctor Yun."

"Your Majesty, you are joking. I hope you will live a long and healthy life."

Emperor Wu pondered and said, "Here, I have to apologize to you first. I deliberately released the news that the national treasure was sent away in order to catch all those rats who are still hiding in the dark."

Bai Xing felt complicated. Was he dismissed? He said that this matter was a bit unreasonable. It turned out that he was waiting for him here.

"I dare not. The traitor has been eliminated and we have a legitimate reason to start the war. This is a good thing."

Emperor Wu sighed, as if he had aged ten years. "They really came for the national treasure."

"This is a secret of our Wu Kingdom. How did they know it..." Emperor Wu lowered his head in thought, and his voice was almost inaudible at the end.

Even though the sound was as soft as a mosquito, it could not escape Bai Xing's ears. He felt a little surprised. It seemed that this national treasure was not simple.

The Ji Dynasty was obsessed with him, and Wu Xingzhen was so angry that he vomited blood... Interesting.

"I invited you here because I have an unwelcome request. I hope Doctor Yun can consider it."

Bai Xing was puzzled, but remained calm and said, "I'd like to hear more details."

Emperor Wu sighed again and waved his hand. Wu Qingshuang immediately turned around and walked outside. When he came back, he was holding a jade box of unique style in his hand. It was made entirely of pure gold and looked luxurious and restrained.

Emperor Wu carefully took it and held it in front of Bai Xing, "This is the national treasure of our Wu Kingdom. Our Wu Kingdom was founded on this, and it was regarded as a treasure by the founding emperor and passed down from generation to generation."

Bai Xing took it and curiously opened the lid, only to see an ordinary stone lying inside. The stone was about the size of a fist, gray and black all over, like jade or stone, and the surface was polished to a soft and smooth surface.

It felt warm, smooth and delicate to the touch. Shirahoshi lifted it up subconsciously, reflecting the light like a mirror.

Bai Xing was a little surprised. It was such a special stone.

"Master, this is the Enlightenment Stone, the Dao...Daosheng Sect's Enlightenment Stone!" The voice from the virtual world suddenly sounded, Bai Xing was startled, and his heart suddenly shrank.

He said in his mind angrily: "Who are you trying to scare to death by suddenly shouting so loudly? You're so startled that your soul will fly away."

Xu Jie said guiltily: "I...I am excited, right? Yes, excited. Haha."

Xujie shrank his neck, lowered his head and admitted his mistake, not daring to breathe.
