Li Xiangyang looked at the footprints after the rain, and he could still vaguely see them, proving that someone had just passed by here.
Who is it?
Li Xiangyang couldn't understand.
Logically speaking, this is not something Li Xiangyang should consider, but seeing the bloody footprints, Li Xiangyang felt a strange feeling in his heart.
I can't tell you what I do for a living, but I always feel that it's strange that these bloody footprints appear here.
Thinking about it, Li Xiangyang looked back.
The place where the bloody footprints appeared is estimated to be half a mile away from the fire-burned place behind.
Nothing was found among the burned ruins, but the imperial edict was found here.
The Ghost-Faced Man said that the ruins are where the Grandmaster takes action.
If it was the person in the palace who killed the person holding the imperial edict, your edict should have fallen among the ruins. Why does it appear here?
With doubts, Li Xiangyang walked step by step in the direction of the bloody footprints.
Seeing that the bloody footprints were becoming less and less blurred and would soon disappear under the water, Li Xiangyang's pace gradually accelerated.
The people brought by Li Xiangyang didn't know what their master was doing, so they could only follow behind. No one dared to go up and speak.
After walking for about ten feet, the bloody footprints finally disappeared.
And Li Xiangyang's location is at a crossroads.
Li Xiangyang stood up straight, looked around, and found that there was nothing unusual here.
At this moment, a group of fast horses galloped ahead, heading in the direction of Li Xiangyang.
"Your Highness, be careful!"
The ghost-faced man suddenly appeared and struck the white horse in front of him with his palm.
The white horse seemed to sense the danger, neighed, and stopped suddenly!
The carriage behind the white horse was immediately in disarray. Fortunately, another person from the team appeared and slapped the carriage with his palm. A reaction force stabilized the carriage and the carriage.
"Who is here? How dare you collide with His Highness the Prince!"
The ghost-faced man and a person from the opposite team almost said the same thing.
What he said was exactly the same.
As soon as the words came out, everyone on both sides was stunned.
Soon, the people in the car came out, and when their eyes met with Li Xiangyang's, both parties suddenly realized.
"It turns out to be the second brother."
"It turns out to be the third brother."
The person who came turned out to be Li Yong, the king of mediocrity!
Since Li Yong was sent to Yangzhou, the two brothers have not seen each other again. But the scene of parting at that time is still vivid in my mind.
At that time, Li Yong was disgraced, timid and silent.
At that time, Li Xiangyang was extremely famous, because he was the only one in the entire capital who dared to see Li Yong off. But the sarcasm when he parted showed that he did not have any brotherhood in mind.
Now the two brothers meet again, but the situation is different from two years ago.
The same thing happened to Li Yong's carriage when he left the capital. It was also a white horse.
Li Xiangyang was also standing under the car, but Li Yong was sitting on the car floor with his head down, depressed and silent, not even daring to look at Li Xiangyang.
Now, Li Yong was standing on the carriage so arrogantly, looking down at Li Xiangyang. Although he didn't say much, the difference in atmosphere and mood before and after could not be more obvious.
Seeing Li Yong's expression and thinking about what Li Yong had just done, Li Xiangyang couldn't help but clenched his fists.
"Wow! Li Yong, he is promising! He actually dares to falsely pass on the imperial edict in the capital!"
Li Yong raised his hand and said: "Second brother, I am here just for this matter. The matter is urgent, and I have to do it as a last resort. At this moment, I am about to enter the palace to meet my father and accept the crime and die. Okay, I am anxious, let's go first
step."
After speaking briefly, Li Yong returned to the car, and the group quickly left and disappeared from Li Xiangyang's sight!
"Li...Yong!"
Li Xiangyang gritted his teeth and seemed to want to eat the previous man angrily!
Everyone can see Li Xiangyang's anger at this moment.
I'm afraid no one has ever seen such an angry expression on Li Xiangyang. Even if he got a fake magic pen in Suzhou before, and even if he was assassinated on his way back to Beijing, he is still more angry than he is now.
In just two years, he was still the only person in the capital who could compete with Li Xin.
Now he was almost killed by Li Xin, and the entire court was controlled by Li Xin, but he was powerless.
Not only that, but the good-for-nothing prince from before was able to ride on him?
Seeing this, the ghost-faced man comforted him kindly: "Your Highness, don't worry about it. That Li Yong falsely preached the imperial edict is a capital crime. Not only did he not run away, but he entered the palace to face the saint. Isn't he seeking his own death?"
"You know nothing!" Li Xiangyang said, "This is his trick! He has saved so many literati, and literati all over the world are grateful to him. Will my father kill him? He is not guilty, but has merit! What do you mean by entering the palace?
Asking for punishment and death is obviously to ask for credit! This Li Yong has been hidden deep enough. His Highness really underestimated him before! Now I am pressed by Li Xin and cannot turn over. And Li Xin has just been placed under house arrest by his father, and he
Li Yong jumped out at this juncture! The timing was truly wonderful!"
"This Li Yong has no abilities." The ghost-faced man said, "Only the princess beside him has some skills. That woman protected Li Yong very well when she was in the capital. If it hadn't been for that woman, Li Yong would not have been sent to Yangzhou.
, escaped Li Xin’s harm. If it weren’t for that woman, Li Yong would never have returned to the capital at this time and caused so many things. Moreover, that woman’s life experience has always been a mystery!”
"What's the use of talking about this at this time?" Li Xiangyang said, "Now that the military and political affairs are in the hands of Li Xin, the civil servants will probably alienate me after this incident, and will instead return to Li Yong's side. Now everyone in the Dahua Dynasty is turning their backs on me.
.The situation is becoming more and more unfavorable to me. Fortunately, His Highness has already planned and will have strong support today. There is no need to worry about this matter anymore. He will return home immediately to receive the distinguished guests."
"VIP?" The ghost-faced man said softly.
However, Li Xiangyang had already walked back quickly.
…
In the palace, in the small courtyard.
Xia Shang and the old eunuch had been sitting there for a while.
It was noon now, and it was still a long time before midnight, so Xia Shang was not panicked.
"Father, you are the most admired person in this palace."
Xia Shang suddenly said this.
The father-in-law smiled, shook his head, and did not speak.
Xia Shang continued: "The reason is very simple, because there are few people as loyal as you in this world."
The old eunuch glanced at Xia Shang and sat up straighter: "Sir, there are many loyal ministers in this great world."
"There are many loyal ministers, but most of them are loyal to the world and the righteousness. But my father-in-law is truly loyal to one person, regardless of the reason, without conditions, and never changes his mind. This is very difficult. I always think about it, the emperor and
What happened between the father-in-law and the father-in-law to make him so loyal to the emperor?"
The old eunuch smiled: "Sir, you'd better stop talking nonsense. If you want to shake the old slave's loyalty to the emperor... that's impossible, because you will never guess the story between the emperor and the old slave." (To be continued.
