The words have not yet fallen.
Jiang Yuechu paused, looking past Cui Yuan and landing on his side.
There stood an old man wearing a gray cloth robe.
It was the one who was among Martial Temple just now.
Jiang Yuechu restrained his mind, did not dare to make a big move, and cupped his hands and fists.
"Senior?"
The old man didn't respond, but narrowed his eyes slightly and stayed on her for a long time.
A long time.
He waved his hands and said, "Now that the seal has entered the body and the matter is done, don't stay here any longer."
"Yes, I will take my leave, junior."
Jiang Yuechu is not the kind of person who doesn't know how to advance or retreat. Since someone has issued an eviction order, he can just leave.
Cui Yuan on the side felt as if he had been granted amnesty. He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and quickly turned sideways to lead the way.
"Ginger General of the Guard, please come this way, please come this way!"
He looked even more anxious than when he arrived.
The two hurriedly walked outside Imperial City along the way they came.
Along the way, there are red walls, yellow tiles, and golden willows hanging from the palace.
The patrolling imperial troops that were originally seen everywhere were now mostly missing. Occasionally, they encountered a few teams, but they were also walking in a hurry and looking panicked, as if something big had happened.
Jiang Yuechu His eyes are not squinting, and the wind is blowing under his feet.
Just...
She could clearly feel that something was wrong with Mr. Cui's eyes next to her.
Ever since she walked out of the Martial Temple gate, Cui Yuan's eyes have never been taken away from her.
Finally.
As he was about to walk out of Imperial City's side door, Jiang Yuechu stopped.
She turned her head and looked at Cui Yuan expressionlessly.
"Master Cui."
"Ah? Hey! Here!"
Cui Yuan was startled, his body stiffened suddenly, and he subconsciously took half a step back.
Jiang Yuechu frowned slightly, a little confused.
"Your Excellency, you have been staring at Beizhong all the way, but there is something wrong with Beizhong's face? Or... is there something wrong?"
Cui Yuan swallowed, looked around, and saw no one around before he dared to speak, "Jiang General of the Guard, today's incident with Martial Temple... don't make any announcement."
Jiang Yuechu raised his eyebrows. "This is natural. I am not a talkative person in a humble position."
"No, you didn't understand what I meant."
Cui Yuan took a step forward and said, "Today's events are only known to you, me, and Imperial High Ancestor in this world."
"Imperial High Ancestor?"
Cui Yuan looked solemn and said, "It is the senior just now who has not been involved in worldly affairs for many years. It is an important place like Martial Temple that needs him to be in charge personally."
Jiang Yuechu was slightly shocked.
So the old man in gray is so powerful?
But I still didn't understand what the other party meant.
I entered Ink-Dotting when I was seventeen or eighteen years old. Although it was shocking to the world, there was no need to be so cautious, right?
Seeing that Jiang Yuechu still didn't understand, Cui Yuan also reacted.
"That's right, you are in seclusion inside to seek seals, how can you know that the world has turned upside down outside."
He sighed and said slowly, "About half an hour after you entered, White Dragon broke through the clouds above Chang'an, fierce tigers trampled the void, and there was even a thousand-foot-tall black bear, right on top of this Imperial City..."
"That kind of power... tsk tsk."
Cui Yuan shook his head, his face full of fear.
"Now, I'm afraid the whole Chang'an City is in chaos..."
Jiang Yuechu was stunned in place.
Although she knew that Hundred Demons Compendium was making a lot of noise, she never expected that it would be so big.
While you are making breakthroughs on the inside, is there such a big movement outside?
"This..."
Jiang Yuechu opened his mouth, but for a moment he didn't know what to say.
"Imperial High Ancestor Since I didn't keep you here, I didn't even ask you a question, which means I don't want this matter to come to light."
Speaking of this, Cui Yuan's expression became serious, even with a hint of warning.
"Jiang General of the Guard, I'm a few years older than you, and I've been working in the company for a few years, which means you are someone General Headquarters values. If it were anyone else, I wouldn't talk too much."
"You have entered Ink-Dotting at such a young age. This is originally a good thing, but the movement today is too great. If a tree is as beautiful as a tree in the forest, the wind will destroy it. If the outside world knows, you are the cause of today's vision..."
Jiang Yuechu was silent for a moment.
She understands this.
No matter where you are, genius is always hated.
Especially the kind of monster that can break the balance.
"Master Cui, you want me to pretend to be stupid?"
"There's no need to pretend to be stupid. After you go back, do whatever you need to do. Just treat it as normal and ask for Spirit Seal and step into Ink-Dotting."
Jiang Yuechu nodded, but his brows did not relax.
"Master Cui, this matter... I'm afraid it's not that easy, right?"
"I am the only one who entered Martial Temple today."
"When the front foot went in, the rear foot saw a strange sign in the sky."
"As long as they are not a fool and think about it for a moment, who can't guess that I am weird?"
Cui Yuan smiled when he heard this.
"Jiang General of the Guard, you are a good slayer of demons, but in this officialdom... you are still a bit immature."
He put his hands in his sleeves and walked slowly outside.
"Who told you that you are the only one who entered Martial Temple today?"
Jiang Yuechu was stunned and quickly followed, "Is there anyone else?"
"General Headquarters said there is, and High Ancestor said there is, then it means there is."
Cui Yuan said calmly, "Martial Temple In that place, the files for printing are piled up every day. It is extremely easy to add a few strokes or change a few strokes in it."
"Besides..."
"The imperial court has so many people, what do they do for food?"
"Tomorrow morning, what is being spread on the streets may be some reclusive old god passing by Chang'an, or His Majesty bringing great blessings to the sky, bringing auspiciousness to the world."
Jiang Yuechu is thoughtful.
This is the so-called... official refutation of rumors?
No matter what the truth is, as long as the people above insist that it is auspicious, then the people below can only believe that it is auspicious.
As for the real big guys...
With the giant Buddha Imperial High Ancestor pressing down on him, who dares to go to Martial Temple for verification?
After thinking through this section, Jiang Yuechu felt at ease.
"I understand."
"Thank you, Mr. Cui, for the tip."
"Hey, I can't bring myself to mention it."
Cui Yuan waved his hand, "They are all working for the Demon Suppression Bureau. Maybe I will have to rely on people like you to support me in the future..."
"Let's go, let's go. I've been working hard all afternoon, and I haven't even had a drink of water. It's lunch time, and I know there's a shop nearby..."
Daming Palace.
The young emperor frowned.
"How's the check going?"
At the bottom of the steps, the old eunuch bowed and said, "Go back... back to His Majesty."
"My men searched Chang'an City. Except for a few boundaries, everything else... is normal."
"Nothing strange?"
The emperor sneered, "Such a big movement, do you think it's any different to me?"
"This..."
The old eunuch trembled and knelt on the ground with a plop.
"The slave is incompetent! The slave will ask someone to investigate again! Even if we turn this Chang'an City upside down, we still have to find the source!"
"No need."
An old and indifferent voice suddenly sounded in the hall.
"Who?!"
The old eunuch was so frightened that he subconsciously screamed for help.
"Shut up!"
The emperor stood up suddenly, stood up quickly, and bowed to the old man.
"My grandson, I have seen Imperial High Ancestor."
