Yuqing Mountain.

Yuqing had just returned a few days ago and had just received the news that the Ming King had returned to Beijing. He was still sighing that Qi Man had indeed failed to keep the Ming King, so he received news from the capital that the Ming King had an invitation.

The person who came to report was Chen Shidao, the senior disciple of Yuqing. At this moment, he only heard him say: "The Ming King had just returned to the Ming Palace and sent his confidant Ajiu to come to us. It should be for the Southern Army to seize Lu Xunyi and his group."

Yuqing nodded, pondered for a moment, frowned and said, "I wonder if King Ming summoned us to Beijing this time to shock Lin's family to release people, or would he have to fight again?"

Chen Shidao hesitated and said, "It shouldn't be that way. After all, Lu Xunyi and others are still in the hands of the Southern Army. King Ming always has to worry about their lives."

"It's hard to say that the Ming Prince's Mansion may not take the initiative to talk about the release of Lin. I think the Ming Prince's Mansion will come to us this time and let us come forward to fight Lin's head-on, and it is more likely to force Lin's release of the person." Yuqing shook his head.

A trace of worry immediately appeared on Chen Shidao's face: "We have already had a very tense relationship with the Lin family when we attacked Huang Ting's mansion in the past. If we attacked Lin again this time, we would probably really become enemies with the Southern Army."

"Have you not seen it yet, the Ming King was already determined to make enemies with the warlords and cut off our retreat." Yuqing's tone was calm, but there was a hint of worry in his words.

Chen Shidao was speechless and was silent for a while before saying, "Then it would be better to find a reason to delay the entry into Beijing first. Let's communicate with Lin in private and let them release them."

Yuqing turned his eyes and looked at Chen Shi and said, "It's useless. It's impossible for the Lin family to release people directly before they even negotiated with the Ming Palace. Then wouldn't the Southern Army be so majestic?"

When Chen Shidao heard this, he thought, and it was right. As long as the Ming Prince's Mansion refused to negotiate, it would be useless no matter how hard they tried.

"It would be better to communicate with those families. They all sent their disciples to Beijing first on the grounds of being in seclusion to see the attitude of the Ming King. In this way, no matter what the situation is, there will be a buffer." Chen Shidao thought for a while and said again.

Yuqing's eyes were filled with thoughts, but she finally shook her head: "I have to go there in person."

"Master..." Chen Shidao also wanted to persuade him.

Yuqing raised his hand, "Your idea is very good, but can you guarantee that those families can be in the same heart as us? Don't let them agree at that time, we have become bad people in front of the Ming King. Even if we agree, we cannot guarantee that they will cheat us privately. On the surface, they agree, but in fact they secretly enter Beijing."

Chen Shidao was slightly shocked: "This is not our family's business. If you really turn against Lin's family completely, it will be of no benefit to our families. Taiqingshan and the Four Sects should be unreasonable and wouldn't agree, right?"

Yuqing shook her head, and her tone felt a little bleak: "If it were the Taoist sect in the past, you would certainly be right to think so, but the Taoist sect in the present is not comparable to the past?"

"Master means?" Chen Shidao thought about it, but still couldn't understand what Yuqing meant, so he asked for advice.

Yuqing's eyes turned to Chen Shidao and said, "Word, you should know the reason why the dynasty has not been able to intimidate our hundred Lingshan Mountains for a hundred years, but the Ming King can be the Lord?"

"This..." Chen Shidao hesitated for a moment. The topic was too big and could not be explained clearly in one sentence. He thought for a while and said, "In general, it was the fall of Master Mei and the deviantness of Shangqing Mountain that made the situation of our 108 mountains change drastically, so that the Ming King took advantage of the opportunity."

"No," Yuqing nodded, his eyes calmed down, looking at the night sky outside the hall: "Is the situation changing, whether it is the external environment or the internal environment changing, but to the bottom of it, or is it changing inside us? Where is the change? The change is in the hearts of the people, the departing of Shangqing Mountain and the emergence of the Ming King made the four gates that we have suppressed for hundreds of years no longer able to suppress their ambitions and want to overturn our ambitions."

"No matter whether we vote or not, the four famous sects will definitely vote, and many people will vote in our mountain gates. At that time, if we do not respect the Mingwang, how can the Mingwang let us go? Once the two families open the battle, the entire Taoist sect will be greatly damaged. At that time, no matter whether we win or lose, we will lose our strength and will end up miserably in this chaotic world."

Speaking of this, Yuqing was silent for a long time. Obviously, he still felt uncomfortable when he thought of this.

Seeing this, Chen Shidao said, "Master can make the Ming King the Dao, but also make concessions and sacrifices for the overall situation of the Taoist sect. People in the world will understand Master."

Upon hearing this, Yuqing couldn't help but smile, shook her head, and answered the topic: "We Ershan also voted with the Four Sects to King Ming. Will the Four Sects overturn our ambitions to calm down? No, they have been fed up by us for suppressing us. Now it is a great opportunity to reshuffle the cards. How could they be willing to continue to be suppressed by us?"

Speaking of this, Chen Shidao fully understood Yuqing's concerns. Even though they knew that the complete quarrel with Lin was not good for the overall situation of the Taoist sect, they would not take it into consideration and would still stand on the side of the Ming King.

On the contrary, once Yuqing expressed his will to resist the Ming King, they would not only not obey, but would probably become more and more active in helping Ming King, so as to strengthen the Ming King's determination to suppress Ershan and promote them.

Chen Shidao couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head: "The four famous sects are so ignoring the overall situation and are selfish, and they will suffer from their own consequences. The Ming King only needs to watch the wall and implement a slight check and balance technique. This sect will sooner or later completely fall into the hands of the Ming King."

Upon hearing this, Yuqing stood up, came out of the hall with his hands behind his back, looked at the night sky, and said softly: "There is no need to be too pessimistic. In this chaotic world, no one can guarantee his ending. Just like the Ming King almost fell into the Ming Pearl this time, so in the future, let's just look at the world. What we need now is not self-moaning, but on the contrary, we must cheer up. Although it is a disaster for our Taoist sect, it may not be an opportunity. His Taoist inheritance has its strengths. If we can take this opportunity to gain some progress from him, it is also extremely important to the inheritance of Yuqing Mountain."

"So, what we need to do now is to be vigilant at all times and never let the four gates surpass Yuqing Mountain. Yuqing Mountain must always be ahead of the Taoist sect. Only in this way, no matter how the situation changes, we can always have the initiative."

"Yes, I will keep in mind the teachings of my master!" Chen Shidao immediately bowed seriously when he heard this.

"Return to the Ming Palace, I will set off and enter the capital immediately!" Yuqing nodded, his figure gradually faded, and disappeared silently in front of Chen Shidao.

Chen Shidao looked at the Ming Wang summoning, and Master actually rushed to the mountain at night. He felt a lot of emotion and secretly excited. Just as Master said, he should not be pessimistic.

...

"I heard that Your Highness summoned several great masters from the Taoist sect to the capital?" When Mo Bai entered the palace early in the morning, Zhang Bangli was already waiting at the entrance of the palace. At this moment, he accompanied Mo Bai to the central palace and asked on the way.

"Yeah!" Mo Bai glanced at him and said casually: "They had already set off last night."

"Did you set off last night?" Zhang Bangli was shocked when he heard this. Although they had spies, if Yuqing and others did not reveal it on their own initiative, they would not be able to find their whereabouts immediately.

At this moment, after hearing what Mo Bai said, they set off at night, Zhang Bangli had to re-evaluate Mo Bai's prestige in the Taoist sect.

But then, he hesitated again: "Your Highness won't tell them..."

Mo Bai paused slightly and turned to look at Zhang Bangli: "If I tell them about His Majesty, they are willing to come. Do you still have to worry?"

After saying that, Mo Bai moved his footsteps and his body quickly disappeared in front of Zhang Bangli.

Zhang Bangli paused for a moment, and then he realized that his question was indeed stupid.

Your Highness would not act so recklessly, and as Your Highness said, if they told them and they would immediately respond to the call at night, then there would be nothing to worry about.

He was too nervous, and the King of Thailand was also nervous, so he didn't react for a while.

After a pause, he chased towards the central palace again, and he had something to say to the King of Ming.

Central Palace.

The queen looked haggard, but she never cried when she saw each other again today. She even got up and had breakfast with Mo Bai and Lin Suyin, but she didn't eat much.

"Son of the Emperor, have you ever seen your father?" the queen suddenly asked at the dinner table.

Mo Bai Weimo said, "The palace has not planned to announce the news immediately. I haven't seen it yet. I plan to wait a while to find Zhang Bangli and ask."

When the queen heard this, her eyes lowered and she didn't make any more noise.

After dinner, Mo Bai sent her to the bedroom, and Zhang Bangli followed her to ask for a meeting again.

Mo Bai was about to leave, but saw the queen looking up at the old palace maid and Lin Suyin, glanced at Lin Suyin's belly, then raised her eyes and said to Lin Suyin: "Suyin, you are pregnant now, so you have to rest more!"

"My mother Xie cares, Su Yin will pay attention." Lin Su Yin did not hear the queen's implicit sound for a while.

Mo Bai saw that his mother seemed to be helping Lin Suyin, and said, "During pregnancy, you can't always lie down. Why don't you let your aunt marry you to the garden for a walk."

"Yes!" The old palace maid took the order first and spoke.

Lin Suyin finally reacted, looked at Mo Bai, saw Mo Bai nodding to her, and then left.

When the two of them went out, Mo Bai asked softly: "Does the mother have something to say to her son minister?"

The queen raised her eyes and looked at Mo Bai. She was silent and said, "Is there anyone around?"

"Don't worry, Queen Mother." With Mo Bai's cultivation level, if someone eavesdrops on him, he will naturally discover it.

The queen nodded, but thought about it again before saying, "I heard that Lao Jiu is the one who is in charge of the palace now. What do you think?"

Mo Bai was stunned when he heard this. He didn't expect that the queen, who was still heartbroken yesterday, would ask this question today.

But then, he also felt relieved. How could a country really ignore anything because of sadness?

"What should my mother think my son should do now?" Mo Bai wanted to say it directly, but when he said that, he didn't say it, but instead asked.

The queen set her eyes on his face: "Lao Jiu is indeed the new king appointed by your father. I can be sure that this matter is not a false statement."

"My son knows that when the third son is appointed as the crown prince, he can see that the father's heart belongs to the ninth son. He only wants to use the battle between the third son and the eldest son to clean up obstacles for the ninth son." Mo Bai nodded.

"I want to know, what do you think now?" the queen asked again.
