White Horse Temple is located about twenty miles east of the god capital Luoyang. Emperor Ming of Han ordered a monastery to be built outside Yongmen in Luoyang. In order to remember the merits of the White Horse carrying scriptures, the monastery was named White Horse Temple.

From the Yongjia Rebellion to the Yongxi Rebellion, Luoyang suffered repeated wars and White Horse Temple was severely damaged. It was not until the first year of Chuigong nine years ago that Wu Zetian ordered the construction of White Horse Temple, and White Horse Temple entered its glorious era again.

White Horse Temple currently has an extremely important political status in the Tang Dynasty. Xue Huaiyi, who is below one person and above ten thousand people, is currently the host of White Horse Temple, and White Horse Temple is also his nest.

To this end, Xue Huaiyi spared no effort to expand the White Horse Temple. With the support of Wu Zetian, the White Horse Temple has become a huge temple covering an area of ​​nearly 20,000 acres and with tens of thousands of monks.

Xue Huaiyi is like the emperor of White Horse Temple. This is his sphere of influence, and no one can get involved, even the Emperor Wu Zetian of the Tang Dynasty.

At noon, more than a hundred guards and guards slowly arrived in front of the White Horse Temple. Without makeup, Wei Tuaner, wearing a plain skirt, came out of the carriage with the support of two maids.

Faming, the head of the Bodhidharma Academy in White Horse Temple, led more than a dozen eminent monks to wait in front of the gate. Faming hurriedly came up and clasped his hands and said, "Welcome to the White Horse Temple."

Wei Tuaner came to Baima Temple to fulfill his wish. Of course, this was just an excuse. The real reason was that he would return Xue Huaiyi to the palace under Wu Zetian's secret order. Wu Zetian was lonely by his pillow and began to miss this "high monk".

However, Faming's name of "Wei Donor" made Wei Tuaner quite annoyed. This was her heart problem. Everyone called Shangguan Wan'er the inner chamber, and some even called her inner minister.

And she, Wei Tuaner, was just a maid in the emperor's bedroom. Although she was powerful, she was nameless. Her biggest wish was to replace Shangguan Wan'er and become the "Wei Nei Prime Minister".

Wei Tuaner saw that the ceremony that welcomed her was very small, with only a dozen old monks. Although she knew that this was out of low-key considerations, this lonely feeling made her feel uncomfortable.

She asked coldly, "Where are you in charge? Why don't you come out?"

"Report to Mr. Wei, the host is in a state of health and is resting. If Mr. Wei wants to talk to my host about Buddhism, I am willing to lead the way."

Wei Tuaner snorted, "Let's burn incense first!"

The old monks surrounded Wei Tuaner and entered the temple and ate incense. She came to Xue Huaiyi's abbot's meditation room under the guidance of an old monk. The old monk had already retreated with tact.

As soon as Wei Tuaner walked into the room, she was hugged by Xue Huaiyi, who was hiding at the door, and her hand was deeply inserted into her collar.

Wei Tuaner was angry that Xue Huaiyi treated her coldly at the welcome ceremony today. She slapped his hand hard and said, "Take it out!"

Xue Huaiyi knows the slut in front of him very well. He didn't feel moved by himself any time.

He hit a nail and couldn't help but feel a little angry. He snorted coldly, let her go and asked, "What are you doing?"

"You know it!"

"Hmph! That old beggar was so heartless when he drove me away. Now he is here to beg me again. Tell her that I am not feeling well and I won't go!"

Wei Tuaner felt the dissatisfaction in Xue Huaiyi's heart, and thought that he had to rely on his help, so he really couldn't offend this person.

She immediately turned around, snuggled into his arms, gently twisted a few beards on his chin and said in a sweet voice: "It's not that I don't want to be intimate with you, you also know that the old woman is very sensitive, especially such a man and woman matter, which annoys her will not do you or me."

Xue Huaiyi gained face and felt better. Then he hugged her again, wandered her hand on her body, and smiled in her ear: "You are afraid of that old beggar, but I am not afraid of her."

Although Xue Huaiyi was a joke, Wei Tuaner was very worried. She knew that Wu Zetian's throne had become increasingly stable in the past two years and no longer needed Xue Huaiyi to help her create momentum, so she gradually became cold to Xue Huaiyi.

At this time, Xue Huaiyi should be more willing to please and be gentle in every way, and control the emperor from the perspective of emotions.

But Xue Huaiyi didn't understand at all, but became more and more brutal. He wanted to humiliate the emperor on the bed, regardless of the face of the emperor, and just vented his dissatisfaction. Although this rudeness would make the emperor happy for a while, he would feel more humiliated afterwards, which made his status in the emperor's heart even lower.

Wei Tuaner felt that she should persuade Xue Huaiyi to not really anger Wu Zetian. At that time, not only would he be demoted, but would also seriously damage her Wei Tuaner's interests.

"Huaiyi, be smarter! Don't annoy her anymore..."

"You know nothing!"

Before Wei Tuan'er finished speaking, Xue Huaiyi cursed: "Why do you think she drove me away? It's just because I went to Jun's mansion to drink. She thought I was trying to make a living. She thought I was trying to make a living. She thought I was trying to be a dog. Do you think I was going to call me and I could not do it even if I called her!

Wei Tuaner was shocked and hurriedly covered his mouth, "Stop talking, I'm going to cause a big disaster."

Xue Huaiyi let out a long breath and waved his hand and said, "I won't talk about her anymore. Tell me about that woman. I'm afraid there is bad news to tell you."

Wei Tuaner knew that the woman he was talking about was Shangguan Wan'er, and this was also the person she paid the most attention to. She hurriedly asked, "What news?"

"Dali Temple has recently investigated the Tan case. I heard Junchen say that this is the case she suppressed the Dali Temple, including the deceased being Princess Si Teng, and she secretly promoted it, which aroused great indignation among the royal family. Do you understand? She has started to attack you."

Wei Tuaner suddenly panicked. This was her biggest heart disease. If Shangguan Wan'er was secretly investigating the matter, wouldn't this mean that Shangguan Wan'er knew that she did it?

She asked hurriedly, "What should we do in your opinion?"

Xue Huaiyi thought for a while and said to her: "I think we'd better take a two-pronged approach. First of all, we must close the net and kill all those who know the inside story, including the fish-picking dragon. He knows too much. You must get rid of him. If you can't do it, let me do it!"

Wei Tuaner nodded without hesitation, "I have nothing to do, but it's best if you take action for me, but what about second?"

"The second is to get rid of that woman as soon as possible. She escaped by chance the last time she was in the tomb case. She can't give her another chance next time she takes action."

Speaking of this, Xue Huaiyi suddenly remembered something and asked, "I want to ask you, how did she escape Junchen's impeachment?"

"I don't know the specifics, but I heard that the Lord was furious, but Gao Yanfu went in and said a few words, and the Lord let her go, and then added an imperial decree to allow her to move to Shangguan Yi's tomb."

Xue Huaiyi took a breath of air conditioning, "Did Gao Yanfu be pulled over by Shangguan Wan'er?"

"I can't be sure, he has always been neutral."

Xue Huaiyi gritted his teeth and said, "No matter whether Gao Yanfu was pulled over or not, time has not been waiting for us, and we must do it as soon as possible."

Wei Tuaner agreed deeply, and she pondered for a moment and said, "I guess it is difficult to succeed in politics. She has become alert and will not make mistakes easily. She has to think about it."

Xue Huaiyi sneered, "I'm prepared for it, and she never dreamed of dying!"

.........

At dusk, Li Zhen came to Yupinlong's mansion in Mingyifang. He handed over a prayer letter and waited outside the mansion.

It was early November, and it was the longest day of the night in a year. Li Zhen only waited for a moment, and the night gradually came.

At this time, a book boy about eleven or twelve years old walked out of the mansion and bowed to Li Zhen, "I'm sorry, my master has gone out for something, Mr. Li will come back another day!"

Li Zhen couldn't help laughing, "Your master was injured in an arrow in Chang'an and was going to bed for at least two months. You said he was out, where could he go? He didn't want to see me!"

Xiao Shutong blushed and waved her hand in a hurry, "My master is really not at home, I dare not deceive the young master!"

Li Zhen felt that he was very panicked and seemed to be covering something. Li Zhen felt even more confused. His mind moved, so he took out his guard bronze medal and handed it to him and said, "This is the token for your master. It is very important and very urgent. Please pass it to him immediately, and I won't disturb you."

Li Zhen turned around and left quickly. Shutong hesitated for a long time with the bronze medal before hesitating to return home. Just as the gate of the fish mansion was closed, Di Yan, who was hiding beside him, climbed up a big tree, climbed up to the wall, and jumped gently.

Li Zhen was waiting outside the gate, waiting for news from Di Yan. After a quarter of an hour, Di Yan climbed over the wall again, and said with confusion: "It's strange!"

Li Zhen went up and said, "What's strange?"

"I just followed the book boy and saw him hurried into the study room. After waiting for a while, he didn't see him coming out. I looked out of the window and saw that there was no one in the study room. The book boy didn't know where he had gone."

Li Zhen pondered for a moment, and seemed to understand a little. He immediately said, "Let's store the horse first, and I'll go into the mansion with you!"

The two of them stored horses in an inn next to them. Li Zhen followed Di Yan over the wall and entered the fish mansion, bent down and ran all the way. Soon after, he came to the back house and found the study that Di Yan mentioned.

The two of them flashed into the room one after another, but they saw that no one had come in the room for a long time, covered with dust, a wide table, two bookcases, and several rows of bookshelves against the wall, and books were neatly placed on the shelves. The moonlight was clear, making it vaguely visible even if the lights were not lit in the room.

Seeing that Li Zhen was looking for something carefully, Di Yan couldn't help but ask strangely: "What are you looking for?"

“I’m looking for the authentic entrance!”

"Authentic!" Di Yan felt even more strange, "Do you think the book boy just now entered the authenticity?"

"What do you think, why is he missing?"

Di Yan also felt it was reasonable. It was true that there were the most possibility of secret doors and the like, so she also fumbled around the wall carefully.

"Finally found!"

Li Zhen pointed to a place beside the wall and smiled, "There are dust everywhere else, but it is very clean, which means that someone comes here often."

Di Yan hurriedly stepped forward and saw Li Zhen carefully uncovering a three-foot square stone slab from the ground, and a dark cave was revealed below. She couldn't help but exclaim, "It's so authentic!"

Li Zhen lit a candle and handed it to Di Yan, "You follow me!"

Li Zhen himself drew out his long sword and bent over and drilled in. Di Yan followed behind Li Zhen and slowly moved forward. The tunnel was dug well, the tunnel entrance was not big, but it was not small inside, about five feet high, so you can bend over and walk, and the ventilation was good, without the feeling of suffocation and depression.

Di Yan felt strange, how could there be authenticity in the mansion of Fish Pinlong? Is this Wei Tuaner's treasure hiding place? It's impossible to think about it. How could the book boy know the treasure hiding place?

Maybe he has a woman hidden in the basement?

Or he was afraid of being harmed by his enemies and hid.

Li Zhen walked in front and smiled and said, "Don't think about it anymore. You will definitely find a fish dragon along the tunnel. Let's go up and know?"

Di Yan blushed and muttered in a low voice: "How do you know I'm thinking about it?"

Li Zhen heard her muttering and smiled, "If you had been yelling for a long time, now that you are so quiet, why would you not be thinking about it?"

Di Yan wanted to kick him hard from behind. This guy was so hateful that he dared to spy on his own mind.
