The head exploded and blood splattered, some of which even directly splashed on the face of Qi King Li Yuanji.
In an instant, all the soldiers around became agitated. They quickly surrounded Li Yuanji, protected Li Yuanji and rushed in towards the door of the Taishi Bureau. Others drew their weapons and watched vigilantly.
All around.
"There are assassins, protect King Qi!"
After being surrounded by soldiers and entering the Taishi Bureau, Li Yuanji finally came to his senses. He turned his head and stared at everything in front of him in shock.
He simply couldn't believe it...that Immortal Master Song with boundless power actually died like this?
But the corpse under the steps was clearly in front of him.
Li Yuanji lowered his head and looked down, but was surprised to find that his originally tall and strong body had become thinner at a speed visible to the naked eye before his eyes.
Before he felt doubtful, he heard a familiar voice coming from behind.
"His Royal Highness King Qi, you are frightened!"
Li Yuanji turned around in shock, and was horrified to find that Song Xuanbai was standing behind him without any injuries, shaking his fly whisk, and bowing to him with a calm look on his face.
"His Royal Highness King Lei Qi is so frightened, it is all the fault of Pindao!"
"this……"
Li Yuanji pointed at the corpse on the ground and then at Song Xuanbai, speechless and speechless.
"I just heard the call from the King of Qi. I was about to go out, but suddenly I had a sudden impulse, so I made a prediction..."
Song Xuanbai raised his hand, rubbed it towards Li Yuanji, and made a fortune-telling gesture.
"It turned out that Pindao's disaster was coming, and he would be in trouble when he went out. So Pindao planned to ask someone to invite His Highness King Qi to the Taishi Bureau to meet him, but the young disciple said that it would be rude not to welcome His Highness King Qi, and said that this place
It’s the Outer Imperial City, and King Qi is here, so there will definitely be no disaster. He insisted on coming out to greet His Highness on behalf of Pindao, but as a result..."
Song Xuanbai looked at the corpse outside the Taishi Bureau and let out a long sigh.
"As expected, my little disciple still deserves to be robbed!"
"So……"
Li Yuanji turned back and looked at the body on the ground.
"It's not the immortal master who died, but..."
"Lu Sheng!"
Song Xuanbai shook the whisk and gave Li Yuanji some advice.
"He is the thinnest one among Pindao's three disciples. Didn't Prince Qi have a chat with him last time when he went to Pindao's residence?"
After hearing Song Xuanbai's words, the image of a somewhat thin Taoist priest suddenly appeared in Li Yuanji's mind.
"Oh, I just remembered it!"
"such a pity……"
Song Xuanbai shook his head with regret.
"Lu Sheng devoted himself to Taoism and was very talented. He originally had the hope of becoming an immortal, but now he has lost his fortune. Alas! This is the fault of poor Taoist. If it wasn't for poor Taoism and others' grudges, how could Lu Sheng have died in such a confused way?
Where did it fall?"
At this time, Li Yuanji, who had calmed down from the shock, keenly heard a key word from Song Xuanbai's words.
"Having a grudge against others? Master Song, do you mean that someone wants to deliberately ambush you?"
"good!"
Song Xuanbai nodded and said with great certainty.
"And I am sure that the person who did it is Taoist Qingwei, the supervisor of the Qihuan Department of the Taishi Bureau."
"Qingwei..."
Li Yuanji touched the back of his head with his hand and repeated the name Song Xuanbai said.
"I seem to have heard it somewhere."
"King Qi must have heard of his name, because..."
Song Xuanbai approached Li Yuanji and whispered.
"The time when King Qin met Laojun's manifestation of his sage, he saw it in this humble Qingdu temple."
After hearing Song Xuanbai's words, Qi King Li Yuanji immediately narrowed his eyes.
"Yes, Master Song, when you said that, I remembered that there is indeed such a person..."
"But this Qingwei Taoist is really careless in his actions!"
Song Xuanbai stood beside Li Yuanji and continued.
"Even if he has a grudge against Pindao, he can't do it like this in front of you, King Qi. Pindao's life and death are naturally insignificant, but if his spell just missed a little bit, it didn't hit Pindao but hit Pindao.
What will happen if I fall into your trap, King Qi?"
After hearing Song Xuanbai's words, Li Yuanji suddenly felt a wave of fear, and unconsciously recalled the scene where the head exploded in front of him just now.
"Hmph! This Qingwei is so bold. It turns out that anyone who gets close to the second child is not a good person! I will go to the second child now, and I must ask him to give me an explanation this time..."
"King Qi, please be patient and don't be impatient!"
When he saw that Li Yuanji was planning to go directly to Li Shimin to reason with him, Song Xuanbai quickly reached out and stopped him.
"Now that you have no evidence, Your Highness, King Qi, you just go to King Qin. Will the other party admit it? At most, you will have a big quarrel with King Qin, which will not help the matter!"
"Right!"
After hearing Song Xuanbai's words, Li Yuanji nodded slightly.
"Then according to the immortal master's words, what should I do?"
"If I follow my humble opinion, King Qi might as well go straight to the palace..."
Song Xuanbai looked at Li Yuanji with a smile on his face that showed he had a good chance of winning.
"Your Highness only said that Taoist Qingwei assassinated you, but accidentally killed someone else. He asked the saint to give you justice. As long as the saint speaks, won't this matter be settled?"
"Go to Ouchi to find Aye?"
After Li Yuanji thought about it silently, he nodded.
"Okay, I'll go to Da Nei now..."
"besides……"
After Song Xuanbai saw that Li Yuanji had made up his mind, he quickly stepped forward and spoke in a sincere tone.
"His Royal Highness King Qi will tell the saint about the assassination this time. Never mention King Qin. Just say that he doesn't know why Qingwei assassinated His Highness. Remember, remember!"
…
"Is this the Dragon's Blood Cup?"
Li Yuan held a purple-black translucent cup that seemed to be made of glass. He looked left and right with an irrepressible smile on his face. He was obviously very satisfied with this gift from his good daughter.
"I once read the notes of Wang Zi in the Jin Dynasty. It said that there is a dragon field thousands of miles away on the side of Fangzhang Mountain, with Yuyao as a forest. It is said that dragons often fight here, and the blood is like running water. Among them, the black ones are as solid as lacquer when touching the ground.
, and it has purple light and can be made into a treasure. I didn’t expect that I saw one today.”
"The saint is indeed knowledgeable and knowledgeable. This thing comes from the abbot..."
Kong Qing explained to Li Yuan sincerely.
"After this cup flowed out from the abbot, it was obtained by Shi Sengyan of Lian Zong. This time Sanniang went north to Bingzhou on the order of the saint, defeated the Turks, and saved the people of Mayi from dire straits. Shi Sengyan was very impressed, so he gave this cup to San
Madam, she said that drinking from this cup can strengthen the internal organs and prolong life, so she took this cup with her and rushed back to Chang'an at night under the stars to worship the saint as a sign of her filial piety."
"Hahaha... It's hard for my daughter to think of him even if she has some good things!"
After hearing Kong Qing's explanation, His Majesty Li Yuan smiled even more happily.
"Come, serve the wine, I want to try the treasure my Feng Nu has prepared for me!"
"Aye!"
Seeing that His Majesty Li Yuan was planning to try the cup on the spot, Li Shimin, who was standing aside, immediately took the lead.
"The filial piety of the third sister is naturally inferior to that of the child, but since this cup is so magical, the child dares to ask Aye to give the first cup to the child, so that the child can have a little bit of wealth."
"snort!"
After hearing Li Shimin's words, Li Yuan immediately snorted.
"You are worried. If you want to test the poison for me, just say so and don't be weird... Your sister sent someone to send it. Do you think the third lady will harm me?"
"Don't you dare!"
These words were a bit harsh, and Li Shimin immediately knelt down with a plop.
"My child has absolutely no intention of doing so, Aye Mingjian!"
Kong Qing peeked sideways and found that although His Majesty Li Yuan said he was dissatisfied, his eyes were actually filled with relief. Apparently he was still very pleased that his disobedient son actually cared so much about his body.
Heartwarming.
"Get up..."
His Majesty Li Yuan waved his hand and made an impatient expression.
"Since you are so worried, then this first cup will be..."
Li Yuan's eyes turned around from the people present, as if he was planning who should drink the wine. In the end, Li Yuan's eyes fell on a waiter standing in the corner.
As a result, before His Majesty Li Yuan could speak, Kong Qing saw a certain Prime Minister named Pei on the side rushing out.
"saint……"
Pei Ji had a smile on his face and said in a tone that left no room for doubt.
"Since this cup was presented by Princess Pingyang, and Qingwei was sent to Chang'an personally, there will definitely be no problem. If Your Majesty finds some despicable people to try it, Princess Pingyang will know about this in the future.
Because of the love between father and daughter, I am bold enough to ask Your Majesty to give me three cups of wine from this cup, then I will be fine!"
As soon as Pei Ji said these words, even Kong Qing wrote the word "submit" to him in his heart.
No wonder he became a lifelong good friend of His Majesty Li Yuan. His awareness and thoughts... his own son cannot even compare to him!
"Pei Qing, you..."
Li Yuan obviously also heard Pei Ji's voiceover. He pointed at the other party with his finger and his tone was full of sighs.
"Okay, then I will personally give the Qing family three glasses of wine with this cup..."
"Don't dare!"
Pei Ji respectfully stretched out his hand and took the dragon's blood cup handed over by His Majesty Li Yuan. Then he saw Li Yuan pick up the wine jug from the plate held by the chamberlain next to him and fill Pei Ji with a glass of wine himself.
"Pei Qing, please drink this cup to the full!"
"Drink victory!"
Faced with the wine poured by His Majesty Li Yuan himself, Pei Ji looked like he was crying with gratitude. He held the dragon's blood cup in both hands, raised his neck, and drank it all.
"Pei Qinghai, come on, come on, after drinking this cup, there will be another cup..."
With that said, Li Yuan held the handheld pot and filled Pei Jiman with another cup.
Tons tons tons tons...
Pei Ji drank it all in one gulp again.
"Drink this last cup!"
Tons tons tons tons...
After finishing the third cup, His Majesty Li Yuan put the wine bottle in his hand on the waiter's tray next to him and asked in a concerned tone.
"Pei Qing, how about drinking from this cup?"
"Return to the saint..."
Pei Ji first respectfully handed the wine glass back to Li Yuan, then puffed up his chest and belly, and answered excitedly.
"Drinking from this cup, the wine is like a line of fire. Once you drink it, your internal organs will be warmed. It is indeed a treasure specially sent by Princess Pingyang to the Taoist Priest Qingwei to send back in person. It is truly unparalleled in the world!"
"This...cough!"
After hearing Pei Ji's words, His Majesty Li Yuan's eyes flickered very erratically, he coughed, and pointed downwards with his hand.
"Pei Qing, you'd better go back and sit down, it's a bit indecent!"
Pei Ji looked down at His Majesty Li Yuan's fingers, but was surprised to find that there was a very eye-catching bulge in the front of his robe.
"this……"
After realizing that he suddenly reached the sky, Pei Ji immediately bent down and covered it with his hands.
"I didn't expect this cup to be so effective. It's disrespectful. Please forgive me, saint!"
Seeing Pei Ji's actions, His Majesty Li Yuan seemed to be laughing uncontrollably.
"It's okay, I can't blame you for this, I just forgive you for your fault... Hahaha..."
Before His Majesty Li Yuan's laughter ended, a burst of chaotic sounds suddenly came from outside, and then a man with a few blood stains on his face rushed in from the outside and fell to his knees on the ground with a thud.
"Aye, my child was assassinated in the outer imperial city. Please make the decision for me!"
