Outside the Chengxiang Hall in the inner garden of the Chang'an City Palace, Li Shimin, King of Qin in the Tang Dynasty, was standing respectfully in the corridor with his hands lowered, waiting with a serious face to be summoned by his father, His Majesty Li Yuan.

A gust of wind blew by, and a burst of sound came from Chengxiang Hall, mixed with a strange smell.

The smell was a bit pungent, and Li Shimin couldn't help but raise his hand and gently press the bottom of his nose.

The next moment, he heard the shouts from the chamberlain coming from the palace.

"It is the saint's destiny to declare an audience with His Highness the King of Qin!"

"yes!"

Li Shimin agreed honestly, and then walked up the corridor to Chengxiang Hall.

As he got closer to Chengxiang Hall, the churning sound became louder, and the somewhat choking smell became stronger.

When Li Shimin entered the Chengxiang Hall, he immediately saw a boxy, strange machine with an iron frame. The machine was shaking slightly and making a chugging sound. There was another pipe next to it.

There is still light smoke coming out.

His Majesty Aye Li Yuan was standing around this strange machine, holding a rectangular object in his hand with an ecstatic smile on his face.

Li Shimin blinked silently.

He had seen that rectangular thing in Yuncheng. It seemed to be called a wiring board, which could conduct the weakened power of thunder into some magical machines, such as Qingwei's clairvoyance and ears in Yuncheng.

At this moment, Li Shimin saw His Majesty Li Yuan pull a line from the side of the camera in his hand and carefully plug it into the wiring board.

beep!

After a soft beep, the flashing red light on the camera went out, and a green light next to it started to light up, flashing again and again.

When the green light turned on, Li Shimin saw His Majesty Li Yuan eagerly press the power button of the camera with his hand, and then the originally dark camera display lighted up.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Li Yuan raised his head and laughed heartily.

"It works. My camera works again. Now I can take pictures as long as I want. Well! If I remember correctly, there seems to be a hot spring in Renzhi Palace... Hahaha!"

I don't know if it was an illusion, but when Li Shimin heard his Aye say these words, he always felt that something was wrong with the smile on his face.

Seeing that his father didn't seem to notice that he had come in, Li Shimin deliberately raised his voice a little when he bowed down.

"My dear fellow people, meet Aye!"

This time His Majesty Li Yuan finally heard Li Shimin's voice.

The next moment, His Majesty Li Yuan put away all the smiles on his face with a somewhat embarrassed expression, then straightened his clothes, and coughed lightly in a pretentious manner.

"It's Erlang. What's the matter with you coming to see me?"

"It's about going south to Changsha to annihilate the Nirvana Sect..."

Li Shimin knelt on the ground and answered in a decent manner.

"The child has prepared his bodyguards and is ready to go to war at any time, so I came here to say goodbye to Aye!"

"oh……"

After hearing that his second son was actually ready to go to war, Li Yuan couldn't help but be a little surprised. He didn't expect that even when dealing with monsters, his son would be so resolute.

Compared with him, his brother is really...

Thinking of this, Li Yuan looked at Li Shimin with a rare gentle expression in his eyes. He put down the camera in his hand, walked up to Li Shimin, and touched the other person's head with his hand.

"Those monsters are no better than mortals, Erlang, be careful when you go there."

"yes!"

Li Shimin also kowtowed vigorously on the ground as if his true feelings were revealed.

"The baby will definitely return triumphantly. Please don't worry about the baby and take care of yourself."

"Of course I believe in my Qilin'er..."

Li Yuan reached out and touched Li Shimin's head again.

"But again, monsters are no better than mortals. Erlang must not take risks lightly this time like before. Remember to take Qingxiazi with you no matter what."

"yes!"

Li Shimin kowtowed vigorously again.

"My son is deeply touched by Aye's kindness. However, Qingxia's real person is not in Chang'an, which makes my son a little worried."

"It doesn't matter, I have decided to visit Renzhi Palace..."

Li Yuan took his hand away from Li Shimin's head, put it behind his back, and said confidently.

"You Xiaowei General Liu Hongji will be accompanied by Yuan Congjing Guard. He is also a famous military disciple. With them here, Renzhi Palace will be a fortress. Erlang, you don't have to worry."

Just when the father and son were showing their deep affection and reluctance to leave, they suddenly heard a loud announcement from a chamberlain in front of the door.

"Reporting to the saint, Mr. Pei is requesting an audience outside the palace!"

"Pei Qing?"

Li Yuan raised his head strangely and said doubtfully.

"Didn't he just send Qingwei away for me? Why is he back again... Please come in quickly!"

A few minutes later, Pei Ji hurriedly walked in from outside with a document in his hand.

"Sage, Warrior Xun, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, is dead!"

"What? Wu Qing is also dead..."

After hearing Pei Ji's words, Li Yuan's eyebrows instantly stood up.

"If I remember correctly, yesterday was his big day! Damn it! These cultivators are so arrogant that they actually assassinated Pei Qing on their wedding day. Who did it this time?

Hidden Gate or Kong Kong Jing Jing? Or something else..."

"saint……"

There was some awkward expression on Pei Ji's face, and then he handed the document in his hand to Li Yuan.

"Last night, the bride of the Wu family suddenly let out a scream, saying that the warrior Yu was in a coma, so the Wu family urgently invited the imperial doctor, but when the imperial doctor arrived, the warrior Yu was already dead. This... was probably not an assassination."

"If it's not an assassination..."

Li Yuan reached out and took the document from Pei Ji's hand, and said angrily.

"Then why did Wu Qing die on his wedding day when he was in the prime of life? Could it be that Wu Qing met his beloved wife when he was newly married, so he indulged too much and got a sudden attack..."

Before he finished speaking, Li Yuan's eyes had already glanced at the document, and then his angry face turned into a speechless expression.

"The cause of death was aphrodisiac... It turns out that Wu Qing really had horse wind!"

"yes!"

Pei Ji's expression was also very strange, as if he wanted to laugh but couldn't.

"So as soon as I saw this matter, I rushed over to report it to you, the saint. After all, the minister of this dynasty died of a windstorm on his wedding night... It's easy to say but not easy to hear!"

"you're right……"

Li Yuan nodded silently.

"Pei Qing is really mature and prudent in his work, that's right! This matter must be kept secret and cannot be spread out."

The next moment, Li Yuan's eyes glanced at Li Shimin who was kneeling on the ground.

"Okay, Erlang, go right now..."

Having said this, Li Yuan pondered again, then shook his head.

"No, things in Changsha are more important. Erlang, you should go and deal with the Nirvana Sect first. As for the Wu family..."

Li Yuan turned around again and said to Pei Ji.

"Pei Qing, please find someone to go to the East Palace to pass the decree and ask the prince to handle this matter. Just say that this is a test I have given him. Let him work hard and not let me down."

"yes!"

Pei Ji clasped his hands and bowed respectfully.

"I obey the decree!"

…

"Alas..."

Yang Mudan let out a low groan, opened her eyes, and woke up. She touched the back of her head with her hands. She seemed to still have a little pain, and her body was also very sore, as if she had been tied up all night.

.

All you can see is a red tent with tassels hanging on both sides.

She twisted her body with difficulty, and suddenly felt soreness all over her body, and there was also a dull pain in the back of her head.

"My head hurts... Hey! Where is this? Where is Cuiqiao? Cuiqiao!"

"I'm here..."
