Just when the eagle was fluttering its wings and flying high, Beiya Baiqi could not stop it.
It was not only the prince who washed his horse and Wang Renbiao who came forward, but also the prince's concubine and the prince's wife.
But no matter who blocked it, Cheng Wuzhong, the commander of the Hundred Cavalry, kept one point in mind: "The rebellion of bandits is a major event. If someone attacks the charioteer, who among you can bear the responsibility? I want to see His Highness the Crown Prince!"
Wang Ren said: "It's okay to see His Highness, but how can it be so disrespectful? Throw away these heads, wash away the blood, and follow me to see His Highness!"
Cheng Wuzhong said coldly: "Without these heads, how can we let His Highness know that this road is dangerous? There is clearly a royal road to the east capital, but you let His Highness take the post road. This is your fault! I think you are trying to deceive me."
Listen up and step away quickly, otherwise don't blame me for being merciless!"
Wang Renbiao said angrily: "I think you dare!!"
Officials from the East Palace came forward one after another and lined up behind him, but Cheng Wuzhong sneered, rode directly on his horse, and rushed towards him...
The horses did not charge, but just walked normally, but Baiqi's riding skills were superb, allowing the war horse under his legs to move straight forward without fear.
On the other hand, the horses under the East Palace officials were frightened and ran to both sides. For a moment, the formation was in chaos, scattered and collapsed.
Cheng Wuzhong burst out laughing, and Bai Qi also had a smile on his face, feeling extremely proud.
Di Renjie and Qiu Shenji looked on, frowning secretly.
When the prince supervises the country, it should not be just those who belong to the East Palace. The whole court should be under its jurisdiction.
But those officials who were supposed to come forward stood aside and watched, faintly sneering.
Qiu Shenji whispered: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ordered noble families from all over the country to open warehouses and distribute food to the victims. After all, he has offended the noble families!"
Di Renjie sighed: "If Shilang Dai were here, it wouldn't be like this. It's a pity that he has resigned and returned home to plead guilty for the people..."
Prime Minister Dai Zhide was originally the prince's teacher and the face of the princeling party. After asking hundreds of officials to plead guilty, he resigned from the post of minister's right servant.
His departure, coupled with the prince's promotion of family food distribution for disaster relief, triggered a backlash, making his control over the court situation very weak.
Of course, there will be no disobedience on the surface, but behind the scenes, this is the courtier's specialty.
Now Beiya's hundreds of cavalry arrived in a hurry from Chang'an. They saw that the saints were monitoring and suppressing the prince, and the officials were even more happy to see it.
However, at this moment, a clear and sharp scream came from high in the sky.
The ministers looked up and saw a majestic eagle hovering above their heads, making various dazzling flying movements.
Cheng Wuzhong's expression changed slightly, and fear appeared on his eyebrows: "Is that the rumor in the military that the condor was trained by Li Yuanfang?"
Wang Renbiao hurriedly said: "Yes, Li Jiyi was appointed by the saint as an assistant minister to supervise the country and hold the banner. This is the eagle he raised."
Cheng Wuzhong reined in the horse's rope and felt a little excited: "Okay, please come to Li Jiyi. I've been waiting for his name for a long time and want to meet him!"
Wang Renbiao turned his eyes and began to look for the person, but his mood was complicated.
The officials of the East Palace were very repulsive towards Li Yuanfang.
Obviously they were the ones who came first, but this one was particularly skillful in winning the favor of the prince, and was appointed by the saint as the only minister to assist the prince in supervising the country.
Such an obvious come from behind naturally made the princelings hostile.
However, during this period of time, I didn't see many of Li Yuanfang's people, and I had no intention of giving orders to them.
Gradually, the princeling's attention also shifted. After all, he couldn't output to the air.
And now at this critical moment, they have to rely on Li Yuanfang's prestige, which makes it even more uncomfortable for them.
Qiu Shenji frowned and said, "Liu Lang hasn't come back yet, Ying'er won't be able to deter him for long, what should I do?"
Di Renjie stroked his beard: "If what I predict is correct, Baiqi will retreat on his own initiative."
Cheng Wuzhong waited for a while, but only the eagle was flying. His face could not help but darken: "What does Li Jiyi mean? Are you unwilling to come out to see me waiting?"
Wang Renbiao also thought that Li Yan was back, so he waited for no one to show up. He was equally anxious, but knew not to show weakness: "Of course Li Jiyi has his reasons."
Cheng Wuzhong felt insulted. He showed his fierce look at first, but after his eyes flashed, he shouted loudly: "I have traveled a long way to kill thieves and destroy bandits. I am loyal, but I can't even meet His Highness the Crown Prince, but I have been hindered by you and others."
It’s so disturbing, it’s so disturbing!”
After that, he clasped his fists at the ministers and turned his horse's head: "When will Your Highness want to see me? I hope you will let me know. Let's go!"
Baiqi suddenly agreed, smashed the thief's head into the ground, and roared away.
Seeing the powerful and powerful figures of Baiqi, the officials had different faces. Qiu Shenji asked curiously: "Did you really retreat? Why is that?"
Di Renjie's round face also relaxed: "This just proves my conjecture that this Baiqi Commander is thick on the outside but thin on the inside, and is quite scheming. Take a look at those bandits."
At this time, other officials had dispersed and no longer paid attention to the bloody corpses on the ground. Qiu Shenji didn't care at all. He rode forward, observed carefully, and said slowly: "There seems to be something wrong..."
Di Renjie reminded: "Weapons used by bandits."
Qiu Shenji suddenly realized: "Yes, it's all sticks and no bows or knives. It's okay for bandits like this to rob ordinary people. Why should they approach such a large convoy?"
His face darkened: "So, the thieves were driven over by Beiya Baiqi from nearby? These forbidden troops carried out a bloody massacre, and no one escaped. It was just to silence them. What was their purpose?"
Di Renjie nodded: "This North Yamen Hundred Cavalry wants to use this majesty of massacre of bandits to accuse the left and right guards of the East Palace of neglecting their duties and become the personal bodyguard of His Highness the Crown Prince."
Qiu Shenji completely understood: "That's why they deliberately cut off the bloody heads and showed off their power all the way to His Highness the Crown Prince in front of all the ministers! Cheng Wuzhong, the commander of a hundred cavalry, is obviously not an easy person to be able to do such a thing.
, I was deceived by his rough appearance!”
Di Renjie said: "These were just speculations at first, but Cheng Wuzhong's withdrawal proved his guilty conscience. The more Liu Lang didn't show up, the more he was afraid that Liu Lang would see through what he was doing, so he simply left."
Thinking that Di Renjie could clearly discern the details with just a few glances from a distance, he immediately asked Guo Yuanzhen to fly the eagle, so he set up a suspicious formation.
Qiu Shenji couldn't help but admire him: "No wonder Yuan Zhen calls you Duke Di. I also want to say sincerely that Duke Di is mighty!"
Di Renjie smiled bitterly: "I really don't dare to take this seriously. How can I claim justice?"
Qiu Shenji said: "Mr. Di, there is no need to be humble. Now that Liu Lang is gone, we really have to rely on you to take charge of the overall situation!"
Thinking of the former Shang Gong and the current Baiqi, Di Renjie couldn't help but sigh slightly: "His Royal Highness has a long way to go to supervise the country! Liu Lang, where are you?"
…
Li Yan didn't know that there was a lot of trouble in the prince's marching team, and he was trying out a new talent.
His previous talents were:
[Talents (10/11): Visitor from Another World (used), Animal Friends (not effective), Other People’s Children (not effective), Schrödinger’s Detective (not effective), Before the Deadline (not effective), Heart
Arsonist (not effective), Let me see (can be used), Backstab Master (not effective), Uncut Wuming (not effective), Three People into Tigers (can be used)】
The talent column has an upper limit. Under normal circumstances, there can only be ten talents in total. He comes with an orange talent [Visitor from Another World], and the remaining nine are exactly three consecutive ten-talent draws.
Later, due to changes in history, the reputation of the plane changed from a drop in the ocean to butterfly wings, and the upper limit of the talent bar was increased by one to eleven, but it was not enough.
Therefore, when Li Yan was in Tubo and Tuyuhun, he only focused on improving his attributes when he encountered difficulties. Now that he has returned to the Tang Dynasty, he is ready to officially update and iterate his talents to face the next situation.
The update mainly relies on two functions: talent advancement and talent synthesis.
Talent advancement is limited to advanced talents, such as [Animal Friends], which can be upgraded to [Beast Tamer Master], and the ultimate form is [Pokémon Master].
There are two ways to go about this function, either obtain three identical advanced talents, such as three [Animal Friends], and automatically synthesize one [Animal Tamer Master], or use high-value achievement points, such as spending achievement points
With 1000 points, [Animal Friend] can also be promoted to [Animal Tamer Master].
As for talent synthesis, it is more straightforward. If you combine talents with similar functions, the level of the combined talent will not be lower than the lowest level among them.
This kind of synthesis also requires the delivery of achievement points. The higher the level of talent put in, the more achievement points will be.
During this period of time, Li Yan was mainly trying to synthesize talents.
Since the behavior is irreversible, it is natural to start from the lower level.
“Do you want to combine the blue talents [Other People’s Children] and [Three People Become a Tiger] and spend 50 achievement points?”
"yes."
"After the synthesis is completed, the talent is automatically changed to [Naughty Child/Giant Baby]."
"Attribute changes take effect for a period of time. Replacement of talents during this period will have no effect."
[Baby/Giant Baby: Blue talent, before the age of eighteen, the family background is increased by 2 points (maximum 10 points), the wisdom is increased by 2 points (maximum 10 points), after the age of eighteen, it will automatically become a giant baby, the family background is reduced by 4 points,
Intelligence is reduced by 4 points. (The child is still young, but will become sensible when he grows up)]
To be honest, this talent was really suitable for the original Li Yan, because he was just under eighteen years old.
You can definitely use the talent first and then synthesize it when you are close to the age of eighteen.
But now that his family background and wisdom are higher than the maximum limit, this talent is useless, and the next step is to have a synthetic destiny.
The advantage is that another talent slot is freed up.
Among the remaining talents, there are several that cannot be used temporarily, such as [Visitor from Another World], [Animal Friends], [Bunzhan Wuming], [Backstab Master], Li Yan turned to [Schrödinger's Detective], [Death Line]
Before] and [Let me see].
He planned to combine these three detective-related talents into a new talent.
[Schrödinger's Detective] can no longer make earth-shaking changes like before. The inspiration of [Before the Deadline] increases depending on the time limit, and [Let Me See] has the assistance of vision, plus it can't be wrong three times, so it is very practical.
drop.
If the three can be combined into one, it will free up two talent slots and also make the talent whose effect bonus becomes weaker and weaker as the attributes increase become more practical.
Of course, it is also possible that the synthesized talent will not have the effect of solving crimes at all, and its practicality will decrease instead of increasing.
But now Li Yan has the confidence to solve crimes without relying on talent, so he is not afraid.
What's more, at this time, it is often necessary to look at the face.
"Every time comes, heaven and earth all work together! Synthesize it for me!"
"Should we combine the purple talent [Schrödinger's Detective], the blue talent [Before the Deadline], and the blue talent [Let Me See], and spend 200 achievement points?"
