"died?"
Placing it against his son's chest, Xie Wancai repeated these two words with empty eyes.
Although Hua Ling was angry with Xie Kun for being arrogant and domineering and idiotic, he could not express his anger towards a father who had just lost his son. Although he did not think that he had made a mistake in beating Xie Kun to death, he saw Xie Wancai's face covered with blood.
With blood and tears on his blank face, he still felt a little unbearable in his heart.
Liu Ling sat on the chair with a gloomy face. The drink he drank today was so disgusting. It was as disgusting as eating a live fly. Xie Kun was just an insignificant person, and it was not worth it to die.
Pity. What Liu Ling is helpless is that today this happened in public. If Xie Kun's words didn't go viral, it would be impossible. But this thing can't be stopped. Is it possible to kill all the people in this immortal world?
Already?
Liu Ling had the strength, but he couldn't do it. If murder could silence the public, there wouldn't be so many stories passed down in history.
Liu Ling sighed, and it was time to consider his retreat. Although Emperor Xiao had great trust in him, who could guarantee that this trust would last forever? But Liu Ling was a person who valued affection and righteousness, and he had a rare love for him in this era.
The family relationship was very important, otherwise he would not have given up the throne to his second brother Liu Zhuo. Now that the rumors about Emperor Xiao's throne in Taiyuan are getting more and more intense, doesn't Emperor Xiao feel a little disgusted in his heart?
Liu Ling would not rebel against his second brother. Since he had sent his second brother to the throne, he had never thought about taking the throne back one day and sitting on it himself. But he would never let things get away from him.
His control will not push him to a point of no return. There is no doubt that Emperor Xiao is generous. Emperor Xiao trusts him, which is also without any water. But Liu Ling knows that in history, monarchs and ministers trust each other.
There are many examples of people who fall in love and turn against each other in the end. Either the king kills the minister or the minister kills the king.
Liu Ling actually had a vague plan in his mind about where he would return in the future, but he always felt that it was still early and he had not reached this point yet. Based on the relationship between Emperor Xiao and himself, it should not last for twenty years.
There is a problem. Twenty years later, my retreat has already been paved. But now it seems that the estimate of twenty years is still too optimistic. Perhaps half of this time will be considered good.
The main factor that made Liu Ling make up his mind to prepare for a retreat now was that Emperor Xiao's health was getting worse and worse. According to the news coming from secret channels in the palace, Emperor Xiao was coughing up blood almost every day.
Even the miracle doctor Li Dongchang was helpless. Moreover, Emperor Xiao refused to relax and rest, sleeping no more than two hours a day. He is still young and can endure it, but no one knows when this diligent emperor will collapse.
Down.
Liu Ling knew the character of Emperor Xiao very well. He was a wise and wise emperor who was rare in a century. He was ambitious, ambitious and capable. It would be unreasonable for such an emperor not to do something great. He believed that Emperor Xiao's feelings for him were
Sincere, but I also believe that Emperor Xiao is rational. When Emperor Xiao really has a premonition that his time is running out, I'm afraid the first person he has to deal with is his most trusted ninth brother, right?
Maybe he won't kill himself. The prince is young, only seven years old now. He, the loyal king, is too powerful, even if he doesn't bully the king, he has the potential to suppress him. Emperor Xiao will not leave such a hidden danger to his son.
Some clues can be seen when Emperor Xiao consciously began to reuse civil servants. Civil servants did not have military power in their hands, so they had to be more at ease than military generals. And the prince is young now. Once Emperor Xiao passes away, there will be a few civil servants left to serve as ministers.
It's more reassuring than leaving a regent behind.
But Liu Ling would not mention this matter to anyone. Although the people sitting here were all close to him, even Shengtu Yehu and Dugu Ruizhi admired and respected him very much, Liu Ling could only
Keep this matter deep in your heart.
"Go and inform Yue Qilin and ask him to lead people to seal the world of Xianyuan."
Liu Ling stood up and said lightly, put away her irritability, stood up and left her seat.
"Zhao Er, go and settle the account."
Liu Ling, who walked to the door, added another sentence, and then walked down the stairs. As soon as he appeared, he immediately attracted everyone's attention. Liu Ling was originally handsome, and his black brocade robe made him look more like a tree. He had not paid attention before.
The guests who had passed by them were all surprised that the owner of Qingyu Luoxuan was so young and looked to be in his twenties. Everyone began to speculate that this young man in Taiyuan City was so powerful.
Who could it be?
Liu Ling walked up to Xie Wancai. Xie Wancai raised his head and looked up. His confused eyes immediately lit up. He opened his mouth to say something, but finally lowered his head helplessly.
"What happened today can only be blamed on your own arrogance towards your son. I will not hold your family accountable. Just go back and bury him properly."
Liu Ling said to Xie Wancai.
Xie Wancai raised his head, and tears burst out again. Blood and tears were streaked on his wrinkled face.
Liu Ling turned around and left. The Nie brothers protected him on the left and right. Shengtu Yehu and others followed behind and walked out of the main entrance of Xianyuan Human World. Shengtu Yehu opened his mouth, hesitated for a while, and then whispered an apology.
He said: "Your Majesty, it's my fault that I chose such a place and disturbed Your Majesty."
Liu Ling waved his hand and said, "It has nothing to do with you. Even if we choose another place, we may not be able to escape the gossip."
Shengtu Yehu said: "Your Majesty, you don't have to worry about that bastard talking nonsense. He is just a bastard who talks nonsense. There are many such ruffians in Taiyuan City. Your Majesty, don't bother with such a rotten person."
.”
Liu Ling sighed: "When I went out casually today, I met a scoundrel who used my name to cheat. I don't know how many people in Taiyuan City are saying that they have something to do with me. Can't you tell? That scoundrel.
The police officers in Taiyuan Prefecture believed everything they said. Common people like to spread rumors and spread lies as stories, and then the lies gradually become the truth. What those rumor makers want is this situation, so that they can be more confident.
Go and do evil."
"Zhao Er, go to the Eight Gate Inspection Department to see Yue Qilin, and then go to see Niu Tingmao, the magistrate of Taiyuan, and tell them that if you find someone doing evil under the banner of my king, they will be captured immediately. Pick a few crimes.
He will be taken out and beheaded severely, but his family must not be implicated."
Zhao Er responded, took his horse and hurried away. He knew that the prince must be furious at this time, and he wanted to kill the chicken to scare the monkeys.
"Sanlang"
Liu Ling shouted.
Hua Ling responded and said, "What orders does the prince have?"
Liu Lingdao: "Go to Taiyuan Mansion and file a report yourself. Say that you beat someone to death under my command, who the deceased was, why you beat him to death, and tell Niu Tingmao what happened in detail. Go and come back as soon as possible.
I still have something for you to do."
Hua Ling agreed, jumped on her horse, and galloped out in the direction of the Taiyuan County Government Office.
"Two generals, I have just returned. The training of the Shura Camp cavalry will depend on you two more."
"Your Majesty, you're welcome. I'm sorry to take my leave."
Shengtu Yehu and Dugu Ruizhi looked at each other, then clasped their fists and said.
Liu Ling said yes and took the Nie brothers back to the palace. As soon as they left, the guests in the Xianyuan world came out to watch. Everyone was talking and pointing in the direction where Liu Ling disappeared.
"Brother Wang, who do you think that person is?"
A middle-aged man asked his companion.
The man looked around and whispered: "In my opinion, the minimum is the commander of three battalions. But as far as I know, the commanders of Shenzhan, Shenji, Shenfeng, the three battalions are all forty years old.
That’s all, this person is only in his mid-twenties, and judging by his aura, he definitely comes from the military, who else could he be?”
The middle-aged man said: "These people are riding high-quality war horses, and if I read it correctly, the man in black is riding Teller, a famous breed in Saibei. Such good horses are not ordinary people."
What I can own, as far as I know, King Zhong has a horse that is as red as fire..."
The man suddenly stopped talking and then opened his mouth wide.
"You mean... that person is King Zhong?"
"I didn't say! How could the loyal king come to the fireworks place with his busy schedule? Only vulgar people like us would spend time here."
The middle-aged man argued loudly: "But... maybe he is a close confidant of King Zhong?"
"Yes, yes, why would King Zhong come to a place like this? Look at my nonsense! But my brother, your horse-telling skills are well-deserved. You can tell the breed of the horse with just one glance. I admire you!"
"You're welcome, I have been dealing with horses most of my life. I spend half the year walking in Saibei, and rarely go back to Taiyuan. Let's go back and continue drinking. It's not easy for us two brothers to have a chance to meet in the world of immortality.
I just want to have a good drink."
"certainly!"
The two people walked back holding hands, and no one wanted to mention the incident just now. But they all knew clearly in their hearts that the young man in black must be the loyal king Liu Ling. But even though the two knew it well, they still
No one dared to speak out rashly and cause unnecessary disaster. The tactics of the young general under Liu Ling who trampled on people just now were still showing up in front of their eyes. Who dared to talk nonsense again? But the two of them hadn't finished drinking yet. Hundreds of eight people
The servants from the Gate Inspection Department came in angrily and sealed the world of Xianyuan.
The Admiral Yue Qilin of the Eight-door Inspection Department personally led the team. He ordered people to surround Xianyuan Renjian from front to back, sealed the back door, and everyone came out from the front door. They were listed next to their level, address, occupation, and then in
After signing and stamping on the paper, everyone was allowed to leave. A few people were left as witnesses and sent to the Taiyuan County government office. After all others were let go, Yue Qilin sealed the gate of Xianyuan Human World with two pieces of paper and sent twenty government officials to the gate.
No one is allowed to enter this guard.
While Song Qingli was still pleading outside Chen Ziyu's door, the people from the Eight-door Inspection Department had already arrived. Song Qingli quickly sent someone to inform the idle prince behind him, but the person who reported the news was caught by the Eight-door Inspection Department before he could leave the back door.
The guards blocked him back. Song Qingli wanted to come out and make peace with him in person, but after all his good words, the guards who were drooling when they saw him refused to give way. Song Qingli brought out a few more big shots, but they were still ignored.
Now she finally knows how cruel the consequences will be if she offends the people she shouldn't offend. She knows that if her guess is correct, if the evil star gives the order, the only thing in Taiyuan City that can make the world of Xianyuan open again is
I am afraid that the only guest is your Majesty. But will your Majesty have a conflict with the loyal king over this trivial matter? Song Qingli wants to cry but has no tears.
Chen Ziyu was very happy. The more this happened, the more important her identity became.
After Liu Ling returned to the palace, he sent someone to invite Zhou Yangong, who had just moved into his mansion and had just returned from military duty and was sleeping with his head covered. Then he sent someone to send a letter to Hou Shen who was recovering at home.
After writing a handwritten letter, Zhao Er and Hua Ling, who were about to return soon, called them to the study. (To be continued)
