Chapter 368 Veteran's Message
Veteran Mr. Pan San asked someone to send an invitation at the most inappropriate time. The Taoist priests in Huangjing were either busy tracing Lan Binggui's whereabouts or preparing to hold the reorganization of the instrument that night. But Mu Xingqiu still accepted the invitation and gave up his thoughts in the afternoon.: 3w.
The meeting place was a small house between the Taoist temple area and the Talisman Tower group. It was quiet and uninterrupted and very close to the Taoist temple area. This was not specially prepared for Mu Xingqiu. Like all the vassal states, the royal family of Xijie Kingdom has many industries in the imperial capital, and this house was exactly one of them.
Mr. Pan's face was withered, and the journey of sending him off seemed to have exhausted him. Without much sharp eyes, he could see that there was not much left in his life.
He leaned against a chair, squeezed out a smile at Mu Xingqiu, then waved his hand and left his only servant, "The princess came to Huangjing three days ago."
"Your complexion is not very good." Mu Xingqiu sat on another chair.
"Probably because the road is too tight. You know, I am always worried about assassins and other things. When I relax when I arrive in Huangjing, I feel something is wrong. Or maybe I am too old. I am so sorry, you are a Taoist priest and very young. You shouldn't let you see the dying person. This is different from dying in the battlefield. Even I feel shameful. But I hope to do something for the princess to repay her kindness."
"The Taoist priests do not avoid death." Mu Xingqiu didn't know what ordinary people would say on such occasions. In short, they wouldn't even have a decent comfort like him.
"Haha, death, it's finally my turn." The veteran cursed fiercely, feeling much better. "Look at my memory, I am doing business for the princess, but I'm nagging about my own bad things. Well... The princess's wedding will be held on the eighth day of next month, so she will not invite you Taoist Pang Shan to attend."
"The princess has fulfilled her wish, and I believe she will eventually become a great queen." Mu Xingqiu remembered the night when the princess leaned on her shoulder, and felt that the princess' wish might be more complicated than becoming a queen.
"She can." Mr. Pan said affirmatively. He suddenly accelerated his speech, as if he was worried that he would be overheard if he spoke too slowly. "Five days later, there will be a coup in the imperial capital. The Qinhuang coup will be a few bad talisman masters. After that, the old emperor will abdicate, and the crown prince will ascend the throne for more than one or two years, and he will pass the throne to the emperor's grandson, so the prince will soon become the queen."
Mu Xingqiu didn't say anything. He had known for a long time that the princess was ambitious and brave, but he still didn't expect her to take this step. Then he remembered that this had nothing to do with the Taoist throne. Regardless of whether the coup was successful or not, no matter who was killed or who was taken over, the Longbinhui was still the one who controlled the entire Holy Talisman Dynasty and the twelve vassal states.
"The army was quietly transferred from the Southern Emperor Yin City. It was almost here. Fu Hao, the commander of Duanliu City, has also returned to the capital secretly. He used to be the governor of the Emperor Yin City and was very familiar with this army. He was willing to help the princess command."
Mu Xingqiu remembers Fu Hao, who was in the south of the Lang Kingdom. This royal family member seemed very cowardly, but he was in Duanliu City with a full official accent. It turned out that he had secretly turned to the princess.
"Why tell me?" Mu Xingqiu was a little surprised. A mortal coup far exceeded what Shen Jixian called the "line". As a Taoist priest, he would never participate and would not provide any help.
This is different from protecting the princess' safety while sending her off. If the coup fails and the princess is captured or killed, Pang Shan can only watch from a distance.
Mr. Pan San shook his head gently, "I don't know, Your Highness the Princess ordered me to pass on the message, and I was ordered to act. Maybe she felt that Pangshan Taoist Tong should know about this in advance. It is said that Taoist priests don't like accidents. Maybe she just expressed friendship to you, showed it up a little, and told you that she was doing big things that you will never forget for the rest of your life."
Mr. Pan obviously did not agree with the princess' decision. Such a coup should be kept strictly confidential. No word can be revealed to anyone, even if he likes him. The veteran did not agree with the princess's thoughts.
"Maybe she just hopes that I can protect Xin Youtao in the chaos." Mu Xingqiu quickly understood the princess's meaning. The princess was used to the exchange of interests. This was her survival skill she learned from childhood to adulthood. But this time, she did not give Mu Xingqiu equal interests, so she could only make a choice for herself.
Mr. Pan raised his eyebrows slightly, "This is not like the style of His Royal Highness Princess. She is not an ordinary woman with her mother-in-law and mother--ah, this is not my style either. I am not qualified to judge His Royal Highness Princess. It seems that I am really going to be finished. Since the Taoist priest understands what His Royal Highness Princess means, do you need me to bring a word back?"
"No." Mu Xingqiu didn't want to give the princess an illusory hope, and his desire to help Xin Youtao had nothing to do with the princess.
Mr. Pan San stared at Mu Xingqiu, as if trying to read what he thought, "Well. There is another thing. The three people you gave me to don't have to worry about them. After the coup is successful, their affairs will be solved."
"Thank you." Mu Xingqiu didn't ask what would happen if the coup failed.
Mr. Pan San seemed to be the master who had nothing to say, a little distracted, his thin hands moved gently on his legs, not knowing where to stop, "Ah, by the way, talisman."
"Tactic?"
"This is not what the princess asked me to say, but she did not forbid. That's right, Your Highness has paid homage to Your Highness, and she is reluctant to stay for a short time. I have to say that his changes are really huge. I think he is very accurate in looking at people. If I had made a judgment a few years ago, I would never have thought that Your Highness would become a gloomy guy. Your Highness is even more surprised than me. She said that Your Highness is already a seventh-level talisman master and does not have the Fire God Seal on his body."
"There is no Fire God Seal?" Mu Xingqiu was really surprised. He still remembered how attached Xin Youtao was to the God Seal back then.
"Your Highness the Princess has the Fire God Seal. She is not a talisman master, but she knows some talisman techniques and secretly makes some arrangements, so she learns that Your Highness the Prince has not restored the Fire God Seal."
Mu Xingqiu thought for a while, "Guan Chengjian, the chief of Longbin Association, should be responsible for this?"
"The chief is seriously ill and may not be able to stand up to me and cannot bear any responsibility. It is because of this reason that the princess decided to launch a coup in advance. Once the chief dies, the power of the Guan family will be greatly weakened. Qu Xungu will succeed the throne as usual and have the power to abolish the crown prince. This is very unfavorable to the grandson the princess wants to marry."
"I thought the princess had gained the trust of Qu Xugu."
"That's what happened in the past. When the bride-sending team was halfway through, they were already irreconcilable enemies."
Mu Xingqiu didn't plan to continue the talk, so he stood up and said goodbye. Mr. Pan San did not try to keep him and delivered him to the door in person.
"The Emperor Jing is made of paper." Mr. Pan San looked at the talisman tower not far away and the towering pavilions nearby. "It's quick to push down and rebuild quickly. Is this a good thing or a bad thing?"
Mu Xingqiu bowed and left without answering the veteran's doubts.
He soon returned to Pangshan Taoist Hall. When the night fell, young Taoist priests were heading for Wangshan Taoist Hall in groups. Dozens of Pangshan Taoist priests surrounded Mu Xingqiu and went out. Pangshan had not yet recovered his strength from the attack of the demon clan, and his desire to win was more urgent than other Taoist priests.
"After the battle begins, don't test your strength, fight quickly." Yang Qingyin was too serious, as if she was about to fight, and she whispered to the point of making a move, "Yang Qingyuan is just the first level of Gu Xia, which is worse than Chen Hao. She can only deal with you with the blessing of the talisman, so don't give him a chance, take action before he sacrifices the talisman..."
Bald man flew at the front to lead the way, so excited that his flight route was unstable. He suddenly turned his head and said, "It's like when I was a child, I went to the bridge to make an appointment. But this time there are more people, and Brother Xiao Qiu is also more powerful."
Everyone was talking, and many unfamiliar Taoist priests of Pangshan also came to express their blessings. Mu Xingqiu listened very seriously, but in fact he was not thinking about this battle at all. Zuo Liuying's reminder echoed in his mind. Mu Xingqiu tried his best to get rid of the many coincidences in front of him, but what he saw was just a blurry scene, and he could not even describe it in words. Inexplicably, Mr. Pan's words were mixed from time to time, coup, talisman, Xin Youtao...
"Xin Youtao is still a Taoist priest." Mu Xingqiu unknowingly said what was thinking in his mind. Yang Qingyin was as stern as if she was possessed by Yang Baozhen. "Xin Youtao will not die tonight. He is not in a hurry. If you lose to Yang Qingyuan, hum..."
When Yang Qingyin threatened, she looked like the old lady again. Mu Xingqiu smiled and speeded up. He just thought that although Xin Youtao had withdrawn from Pangshan, he did not have the Fire God Seal on his body, which meant that he had retained all the Taoist priest's abilities. Perhaps this was what Long Bin would really need.
The fog in front of me dissipated a little.
The battle hall of Wangshan Taoist sect was lively and several battles were in progress. The participants were very restrained. When casting spells, they would remind the other party that they would not pursue the victory even if they got the opportunity. The Taoists showed their spell casting skills, not their ability to kill.
Mu Xingqiu was warmly welcomed. Of course, for Taoist priests, the so-called warmth means that everyone nodded to him. Some people would come over and whisper a few words, without making a loud noise, and no crowds were surging.
Wangshan Taoist Ding Wei was one of the people who came here and formally performed the etiquette of Taoism. "No matter who wins or loses, fellow Taoist Mu and fellow Taoist Yang are the backbone of the Demon Slaying Society. After selecting the leader, I am willing to contribute all the resources in my hands. The Demon Slaying Society will face a big battle..."
Ding Wei said a lot, Mu Xingqiu took it seriously, but Yang Qingyin beside him just curled her lips.
Yang Qingyuan, the Taoist priest of Qishan, came relatively late and had a group of supporters. He was no less popular than Mu Xingqiu. The two nodded from afar, saying hello.
Time passed little by little, and the several battles on the field were coming to an end. No one challenged or challenged each other. Everyone was waiting for the most important battle to discuss the truth.
Chen Hao walked over and he kept inquiring about news everywhere, "Yang Qingyuan has three paper talismans, one with a protective jade talisman, one with a sharp blood talisman, and one with an unknown figure, which should be an attack talisman."
"Speed battle and quick decision." Yang Qingyin reminded again.
Mu Xingqiu nodded and looked at Yang Qingyuan in the distance. He happened to meet his gaze. Suddenly, he felt that the Taoist priest of Qishan seemed to have changed a little.
