Chapter 158 A good dog doesn’t block the road
Tang Ning was so fast that Gu Mufeng didn't have time to stop her before the guards rushed over.
Just as the swords were about to clash, the chief eunuch came out with Gu Mujun's oral instructions:
"His Majesty has ordered Prince Ning to take his men and leave the capital as soon as possible."
"Come here, arrest these traitors and rebels for me!"
Song Yanran had never been slapped in the face in public like this since she was born. She was just a little girl from the common people. Now that she was the queen, she could not even tolerate this.
Then she won't have to stay in this palace anymore.
"Empress, His Majesty said they should leave the palace."
Song Yanran looked at the chief steward in disbelief. Was he asking her to endure this?
Why? Even if Tangning hadn't hit her, she wouldn't have let Song Nuannuan leave the capital alive, let alone Tangning slapping her in public.
She wanted them to be torn into pieces, which would relieve her hatred.
"Oh, since Your Majesty has said so, then I will naturally obey Your Majesty's will."
He obeyed with his mouth, but the ferocity in his eyes showed no sign of diminishing.
Tangning didn't care. She relied on the space and wasn't too worried.
Gu Mufeng and Song Nuannuan knew how powerful Prime Minister Song was, and they both frowned.
As soon as they left the palace, they keenly felt that they were being watched.
Gu Mufeng planned to go back home to ask for help.
"It's too late. Listen to me and leave the city. Once you're out of the city, no one will be able to find you with your abilities."
Taoist Master Xukong pursed his lips and drank a cup of tea to moisten his throat.
"But senior, if we can't leave the capital, these people will probably take action. Even though we have His Majesty's men protecting us, we can't get rid of His Majesty's men either."
"Don't enter the space yet. Prime Minister Song is very cunning and can see through anything that's not right for him.
If he knew that there was such a treasure in the world, he would probably fight me to the death.
Taoist Master Xukong didn't care much and suppressed Tang Ning's desire to keep himself and Song Nuannuan away.
Tang Ning took back the ring. Mu Zixin sneered at her, calling her a bully.
You only know how to bully softies like him.
He is capable enough to confront Prime Minister Song in this way.
"No disrespect!"
Taoist Master Xukong gently stroked his forehead and looked at Song Nuannuan.
"Your Majesty, you will have to walk the rest of the way on your own. I will no longer help His Majesty to find out any information about you.
I originally wanted to let Zi Xin live his own life, but I feel that he prefers to be with you, so please take him with you.
Zi Xin is a simple person, so please take care of him. If there is any offense, please bear with me. In return, the old Taoist priests in the dark will help you solve the problem.
Tang Ning looked at him in surprise. He knew that this guy hadn't used his true strength. How could he be so powerful?
"Thank you, senior!"
Song Nuannuan bowed modestly.
Tang Ning still looked at Taoist Xukong with a somewhat unfriendly look.
"Old man, why are you speaking like you're leaving your last words?"
Taoist Xukong smiled and looked at Tangning:
"I've revealed too many secrets and been involved in too many causal relationships. Logically, I should have suffered backlash long ago, but for some reason, I'm lucky to have managed to survive until now. I really don't want to witness this unfair life in this world anymore."
Tangning glanced at the Taoist Master Kongxu, who was already showing signs of aging, and said mysteriously,
"I know why."
"What do you mean? Please help me clear up my confusion."
Taoist Master Xukong smiled and obviously didn't take it seriously.
Tangning pondered for a moment and said:
"Master, you should know that I can enter space with my consciousness, just like a soul. Others cannot see or touch it."
Taoist Xukong nodded, obviously knowing it.
"But when I'm in spirit form, I can see things that others can't see."
Taoist Xukong looked at Tangning with some doubt:
"I have practiced for my entire life and can barely be considered to have made some small achievements. No demons or ghosts dare to approach me."
Tangning pointed at his shoulder:
"When you were in my space and tore it apart, I saw a woman on your shoulder. No, it should be a female ghost. She had long hair and a black mole between her eyebrows.
If I'm not mistaken, she's protecting you."
The whisk in Xukong's hand broke instantly, and he looked at his shoulder in disbelief.
Tears burst out instantly:
"I see. I was wondering why I was so lucky. I was still alive despite having so much karma. Did you know that if you are contaminated by karma, you will not be able to enter the cycle of reincarnation in this life?"
"She must know, but she still wants to protect you with all her might. You are a Taoist priest, yet you are obsessed with love. You have already sown the seeds of the greatest cause and effect."
Taoist Xukong stroked his shoulders as if he was stroking her.
"Don't be afraid, I'm really here to accompany you this time. We will never be separated again. It doesn't matter if I don't reincarnate. I will always be with you."
As he spoke, Taoist Kongxu rushed out of the carriage and rushed out like an arrow from Li Xuan.
"Brother-in-law, let me help you!"
How could Mu Zixin not know that his brother-in-law wanted to die, but he couldn't just watch him die in front of him.
"Go! From now on, even if you are alone, you must live well!"
Taoist Xukong pushed the man away and back into the carriage.
This was the first time Tang Ning saw Taoist Void use his ultimate move.
The entire capital seemed to be shrouded in fog, with only a road appearing in front of them.
Gu Mufeng grabbed the carriage and drove along the road, escaping.
Not long after, the fog in the capital dissipated.
Many people who did not know the truth knelt on the ground and kowtowed, saying that it was the gods who appeared and begged for their protection.
Little did they know that it was a Taoist priest who was burning his life to help the people he cared about for the last time.
"Lost again?"
Gu Mujun was no longer surprised. The sudden appearance of the fog must have been caused by them. He just didn't know why people like them were so different from others.
Where does this fog come from?
"It was the fog created by Taoist Master Xukong. Taoist Master Xukong has passed away."
The secret guard's words made Gu Mujun subconsciously look outside the palace. It seemed that if he wanted to find them again in the future, they would have to come out on their own.
"That's fine. Let them go. Have someone inquire more. If you have any news, report back immediately and give Taoist Priest Xukong a proper burial."
"Yes!"
After finishing his work, Gu Mujun went to Kunning Palace. Now that Nuannuan was gone, what difference would there be between one woman and two women?
Now that he is in a high position, he should fulfill his responsibilities.
"What! Your Majesty wants to select a concubine?"
Seeing Gu Mujun looking at her with dissatisfaction, Song Yanran realized that she had lost her composure. She suppressed her dissatisfaction and said with a smile:
"Your Majesty, why did you suddenly think of the selection?"
"Queen, you are being too nosy."
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I was just a little frightened for a moment, worried that I wouldn't be able to handle the selection well."
