Chapter 381: Inside the Temple
Zhao Kuang had entertained the fantasy, putting himself in Li Musheng's shoes, imagining what the future would look like if he had Li Musheng's identity and martial cultivation.
But it was nothing more than a fantasy. In reality, he was losing sleep day and night over whether his father was alive or dead, unable to eat or rest in peace.
Even so, what came as a welcome surprise to Zhao Kuang was that when he asked about Li Musheng's whereabouts, the purple-robed Daoist actually gave a nod, "This poor Daoist has had the court's agents searching with full effort. Although the Eighth Prince's party made some attempts to conceal their movements, this is Taixuan City."
"And since their entry into the city was rather conspicuous, following certain traces, we have eventually located their lodgings."
As he said this, the purple-robed Daoist looked at Zhao Kuang, "Though this poor Daoist speaks out of turn, that man is a prince of Great Li, a person of unusual standing and unfathomable martial cultivation. Your Majesty would be wisest to keep well away from him."
At those words, Zhao Kuang showed a thoughtful expression and waved a hand, "The Daoist need not worry. I know what I am doing."
Even so, Zhao Kuang understood in his heart that he did not have many options right now.
When it came to dealing with his father the emperor, beyond Li Musheng, there was truly no one else he could turn to.
Zhao Kuang set down his vermilion brush and rose from the dragon throne, "Please accompany me, Daoist. I wish to pay the Eighth Prince a visit in person."
