Li Fahai entered Great Yue City smoothly, but he didn't go directly to the Imperial City. Instead, he was going to find an inn and settle down temporarily. He still needed to investigate before heading to the Imperial City.
In terms of the most well-informed places, it was naturally the inn and the fireworks area. Li Fahai lived in the inn, so it was much easier for him to gather information.
"Master, please come in. Do you want to eat or stay?”
Li Fahai had just walked to the entrance of the inn when a quick-witted waiter came up to him and said respectfully.
"It's both a meal and a hotel," Li Fahai said lightly.”
"How about this, Grandmaster, please come in. There are still some rooms in our inn where you can have a meal first before staying.”
The waiter smiled and said to Li Fahai.
"No need. This hall is not bad. Let's eat in the hall.”
Li Fahai waved his hand and looked at the bustling hall.
"Alright!"
The waiter responded and led Li Fahai to a seat by the window.
"Have you heard? The Emperor of our Great Yue State is dying!”
"Tsk! Who didn't know about this? Do I need you to say it? Not to mention our Great Yue City, even the entire Great Yue State knows about this!”
"Alas, His Majesty the Emperor has always been wise. If he leaves, I'm afraid our Great Yue State will suffer!”
"That's right. The First Prince and the Second Prince have died one after another. Now, our Great Yue State doesn't even have a legitimate heir. I'm afraid the world is going to be in chaos!”
Everyone in the hall was talking about this matter. The three big men sitting at the table next to Li Fahai were even sighing.
Li Fahai frowned slightly. It seemed that things were not as simple as he had imagined. The Emperor of Yue was about to die, so there was probably something fishy about it. Otherwise, it would be impossible for the First Prince and Second Prince to die so suddenly.
Moreover, it was very likely that Consort Shu's death back then was not that simple!
"Hey, Master, what kind of dishes do you want? The vegetarian dishes in our shop are all famous for their good quality. Do you want to try them?”
The waiter asked Li Fahai.
Li Fahai waved his hand and said,"Just serve me a table of vegetarian dishes."”
"Alright! Master, please wait a moment. I'll go and inform the kitchen immediately!”
Hearing Li Fahai call himself 'me' instead of 'This Penniless Monk,' although the waiter was a little puzzled, he did not ask. He bowed and turned to leave.
Li Fahai wanted to continue listening to the three men talk about these things, but who knew that at this time, the three men would simply drink and no longer discuss these things, as if they had some taboos.
He frowned, stood up, and walked toward the three men. He put his palms together and chanted the name of Buddha before saying,"Patrons, I heard you discussing state affairs just now. Why did you suddenly stop?”
"Master…"
Seeing Li Fahai come over to ask, the three burly men stood up.
Seeing the difficult expressions on the faces of the three burly men, Li Fahai could not help but smile and say,"Fahai is a disciple of the Golden Mountain Temple. It's his first time going out, so he doesn't know much about these things.”
Upon hearing Li Fahai's words, the three burly men immediately became respectful. One should know that the Golden Mountain Temple was located within the Great Yue State. As a holy land of Buddhism, it had a very high status in the entire Great Yue State.
A square-faced man who looked righteous gritted his teeth and said,"So it's the master of the Golden Mountain Temple. It's normal that the master doesn't know about this. What does the master want to know? If the three of us knew, we would definitely tell Grandmaster.”
"Thank you, Patron!"
Li Fahai thanked the burly man and said,"From what the three benefactors said just now, it seems that you know the true reason why the two princes died one after another and why the Emperor of Yue's lifespan is coming to an end. I hope that the three benefactors can tell this poor monk!”
"Actually, this is not a secret in our Great Yue City. Everyone in the Great Yue State knows that Marquis Jingning, Song Yue, has taken control of the government after His Majesty the Emperor was unwell. He even controlled a troop of soldiers from the capital. This troop is the army stationed in the capital of our Great Yue State, with a total of five hundred thousand men!”
The burly man pondered for a moment and said in a low voice,"If it wasn't for the two hundred thousand Imperial Army soldiers in His Majesty's hands, Song Yue would have rebelled long ago! Now, everyone was suspecting that Song Yue had killed the two princes. Even the Emperor's sudden illness was Song Yue's doing!”
"Marquis Jingning, Song Yue?"
Li Fahai raised his eyebrows and asked,"How did he get the attention of the Emperor of Yue and be able to control an army of 500,000?" Moreover, it was an army that guarded the capital!”
"Marquis Jingning, Song Yue, has been hiding very deeply these years. On the surface, she is loyal to the Emperor. If it wasn't for the Emperor's sudden illness, I'm afraid that all of us would have thought that he was a loyal official!”
The burly man's eyes revealed a look of disdain as he said disdainfully,"As for why Song Yue could control 500,000 soldiers, it is also related to his strength. He is the number one person in our Great Yue Army! He's a peerless expert who's at the Half-Step to the Divine Realm. He's the strongest expert in our Great Yue State, second only to His Majesty the Emperor!”
"Second only to the Emperor of Yue? The Emperor of Yue was a peerless expert at the Imminent Deity realm?”
Li Fahai's pupils constricted as he said in surprise.# Daguan Review Passed: Daguan Time:011720192:21PM
