It is closed on all sides and there is no daylight. At a glance, the end of the long corridor is deep and dark, as if it is leading to the depths of hell. There are torches every four or five steps on both sides of the long corridor, but the firelight cannot disperse the long corridor.
The darkness that permeated the corridor illuminated the ferocious beasts carved on the walls on both sides, making the scene in the corridor even more eerie and terrifying.
"How mentally twisted does this guy have to be to come up with such a plan for the underworld?" Li Danqing, who was following Xia Xianyin and walking through the corridor, looked around and sighed for no reason.
When he said this, Xia Xianyin, who was walking in front of him, turned back and glared at him fiercely.
A group of deacons from the Tianjian Division behind him showed even more anger. One of them, a man in his early thirties, shouted loudly: "What are you talking about!? Do you really think that the Tianjian Division is the back garden of your Li Mansion? Are you wantonly
Nonsense, you will feel better!"
The only skill that Prince Li has developed in Wuyang City for so many years is that he has a thicker skin than an eighty-year-old tree.
Of course, he didn't care about the insults from the deacon behind him. Instead, he quickly walked up to Xia Xianyin, approached him with a warm face, and asked with a smile: "Xiao Xianyin, after so long, have you thought about me at night?"
Tossing and turning and having trouble sleeping all night?"
Li Danqing's mean look almost made Xia Xianyin unable to maintain a straight face. She could only force herself to look straight and said: "Your Highness, this is the Tianjian Division. I hope you recognize your identity clearly."
.”
Li Danqing is really a very strange person.
Sometimes he is timid and cautious, and sometimes he is careless, as if he doesn't understand his situation at all.
What kind of place is Tianjiansi today?
Regardless of whether you are the master of the palace or a prince or noble, as long as you join the Tianjian Division, you will have to shed a layer of skin even if you don't die. Xia Xianyin has seen many domineering and arrogant people outside in the past few years. But no matter they are outside
No matter how proud the spring breeze is, when they arrive here, they all have their heads drooped and dejected. It is the first time in the world that Li Danqing is strolling around like this.
"I recognize it clearly." Faced with Xia Xianyin's scolding, Li Danqing still didn't take it seriously. He nodded seriously, lowered his head and leaned towards Xia Xianyin's ear, and then whispered in a voice that only the two of them could hear.
He said: "I just don't know if Xiao Xianyin still remembers what she promised me."
A slight flush appeared on Xia Xianyin's face, which had been stern since she saw Li Danqing. Her body also trembled slightly at this moment, she turned her head and glared at Li Danqing fiercely, about to get angry.
But before the words came out of her mouth, the deacon following the two of them yelled and cursed again: "Li Danqing! What are you doing! How dare you rush into our young Siming!"
As the guy said this, his face turned red. He pressed the hilt of the long sword behind his back with one hand, and veins popped out on the back of his hand. He was obviously extremely angry.
…
He Liqun is thirty-one years old this year.
This is a somewhat embarrassing age.
From bottom to top, the Tianjian Department is divided into executive officers, deacons, governors, young commanders and commanders.
He Liqun has now reached the position of governor, which is an extremely embarrassing position for his age.
If you want to go further, you have to be Young Siming, but the positions of the five Young Simings in Tianjian Division have already been assigned. Each of them is either a young hero with a bright future like Xia Xianyin, or an older person.
It was a fantasy for He Liqun, who was of average origin and ability, to obtain the position of Shao Siming from an old man with rich qualifications.
But He Liqun, who knew he had little chance of promotion, had always hidden a secret in his heart...
That is his immediate boss Xia Xianyin!
He likes her.
To be precise, I admire her!
He felt that Xia Xianyin fulfilled all his fantasies about women, she was almost perfect.
But he also understood that it was impossible for him to get her.
She is the youngest young Siming in the entire Wuyang Dynasty. With the respect of the Great Siming and being an orphan of the Xia family, her future is bright.
This reality is obviously difficult to accept for He Liqun.
He kept this secret that he was ashamed to tell deep in his heart. Xia Xianyin's inadvertent smile would make him fascinated. He often imagined countless possibilities at night, but when he woke up, the cold reality made him unable to rest assured.
Throbbing.
The contrast between the two makes this kind of love distorted.
He could calmly accept the marriage between Xia Xianyin and Ying Li, because no matter how they looked at it, Ying Li was a being who was thousands of times stronger than him.
But he couldn't accept that Xia Xianyin and a waste like Li Danqing came together.
Especially after seeing Li
After Danqing approached Xia Xianyin so intimately, instead of getting angry, Xia Xianyin showed a hint of girlish shyness on her face. The anger in He Liqun's heart reached its peak at this moment.
He felt betrayed!
…
Just when he cursed so angrily and the sword in his hand was unsheathed, Xia Xianyin restrained her words and gave He Liqun a cold look.
Just one glance made He Liqun feel like he was in a cave, unable to move.
"Just send him here, I will take him to see Da Siming personally." Xia Xianyin's voice came at this time.
"Young Si Ming, this thief has many tricks up his sleeve. We were ordered by Da Si Ming to escort him for trial. What if..." He Liqun's expression suddenly changed upon hearing this, and he spoke anxiously.
"Do I need you to teach me how to do things?" Xia Xianyin didn't seem to feel the concern in He Liqun's words at all, and asked coldly at that time.
Hearing this, He Liqun's face suddenly turned ugly. He glanced at Li Danqing angrily, but Li Danqing raised his eyebrows at him with a frivolous expression. He Liqun clenched his fists, but he still had to lower his head at this moment.
He raised his head and responded in a muffled voice: "Yes!"
"Xiao Xianyin, let's go." Li Danqing seemed to think that He Liqun was not angry enough, so he said loudly to Xia Xianyin.
Hearing this, Xia Xianyin glared at Li Danqing with some dissatisfaction, but surprisingly did not refute, and just said: "Come with me, Da Siming is waiting for you."
After saying that, he ignored Li Danqing, turned around and walked quickly towards the depths of the deep corridor.
Upon seeing this, Li Danqing hurriedly followed, leaving He Liqun standing there with his fists clenched and veins popping out on his forehead. He was obviously extremely angry.
"There are rumors that Xia Siming regretted his marriage to Mr. Ying Li just because of Li Danqing. I never believed it before, but today it seems that there is no smoke without fire!"
"Yes! Then Li Danqing has come to Tianjiansi, and he still dares to be so arrogant. Isn't he just relying on Xia Siming's care?"
"What do you think is so good about Li Danqing? Our Xia Siming..."
The deacons behind He Liqun immediately started whispering after seeing Li Danqing and Xia Xianyin leaving.
"Nonsense!" But as soon as he started talking like this, He Liqun, with a gloomy face, shouted loudly and said this.
As a governor, He Liqun had a stable official position over these deacons. His angry shouts immediately made everyone's hearts tremble, and they swallowed back the words that came to their lips.
"It's impossible for him to walk out of Tianjian Division alive!" He Liqun lowered his voice and muttered to himself.
"He must die..."
"He deserves to die..."
He kept talking to himself like this, his voice getting lower and lower, and his tone getting darker and darker, so that everyone behind him did not dare to talk to him for a while, and could only stand there from a distance, looking at the tense He Liqun.
…
…
"Who is that guy?" Walking side by side with Xia Xianyin in the corridor of Tianjian Division, Li Danqing approached Xia Xianyin and asked.
Xia Xianyin was stunned, a little confused: "Which guy?"
"It's that guy with the sinister features and stern eyes who still pretends to be young." Li Danqing asked, with an unusually serious expression on his face.
Xia Xianyin, who had rarely seen Li Danqing like this, was in a daze for a moment. She thought about it seriously, but after searching through her mind, she couldn't compare anyone she knew to someone with a sly look.
The rhetoric of pretending to be young is right.
But seeing the confusion on Xia Xianyin's face, Li Danqing looked anxiously: "Xia Xianyin!"
When he said this, he rarely called Xia Xianyin by his full name.
This posture made Xia Xianyin feel inexplicably guilty. She subconsciously took a step back and said, "What...what's wrong?"
"You are my son! You have to make your identity clear!" Li Danqing continued with a serious look.
"That guy was about to hit me just now, how can you be partial?"
"Huh?" Xia Xianyin was stunned when he heard this, and then realized that the person Li Danqing was referring to was clearly He Liqun.
The moment this thought popped into Xia Xianyin's mind, she looked at Li Danqing again, and saw that Li Danqing had a serious look on his face that didn't look like he was faking it.
This guy……
Could it be that I'm jealous...
Such thoughts came to mind, and Xia Xianyin's face turned red inexplicably, but there was a little sweetness in her heart, and even her heartbeat accelerated a bit at this time.
"Crazy!" She glared at Li Danqing, seemingly blaming her, but her tone was so soft and soft that it seemed as if she was about to melt away.
After saying this, she walked forward, Li
Seeing that he couldn't get a response, Dan Qing hurriedly caught up with him.
"By the way, Xiao Xianyin, why did you bring me to Tianjian Division?" Li Danqing asked again.
Xia Xianyin rolled her eyes at Li Danqing again and asked: "What? Now you remember that you are here from the Tianjian Division? Are you scared?"
"Afraid?"
"My prince has never known how to write the word fear." Li Danqing patted his chest and said harshly.
But as soon as he finished speaking, he lowered his body again, licked his face and said with a smile: "Besides, there is Xiao Xianyin here, isn't it? You are the young commander of Tianjian Division, and I am not afraid as you are here to protect me."
Xia Xianyin was used to Li Danqing being cool for a quarter of an hour and giving up for half an hour. She rolled her eyes, and a look of worry suddenly appeared in her eyes: "I don't know why Da Siming asked you to come.
, do you think you have committed any crime these days?"
"Da Siming?" Li Danqing's face suddenly changed after hearing this.
During the days when Li Mulin was alive, Li Danqing was well-known as a demon king in Wuyang City. From the princes and nobles to the three mansions and nine divisions, there were only two people who could make him, Crown Prince Li, fearful.
One is the eldest princess who spanked Li Danqing in front of all the civil and military officials, and the other is the chief commander of the Tianjian Division - Yin Wujiang!
Calculating carefully, Li Danqing has no interaction with the chief commander of the Tianjian Division. At most, they only meet each other at the end of each year when Ji Qi holds a banquet with all the ministers. Compared with Li Danqing, he always likes to do so at this juncture.
Compared with the ministers vying for favor and credit in front of Ji Qi, this old man just sat alone in an inconspicuous corner, drinking, or closing his eyes to meditate.
He was always away from the chaos of Wuyang Dynasty, but he seemed to be always in it.
Li Danqing even felt that this old guy's whole body was always filled with a yin energy. As long as he got closer, Li Danqing would feel his scalp numb and goosebumps all over his body.
Therefore, even though Prince Li relied on Li Mulin to do evil in Wuyang City, he did not dare to provoke the chief minister of Tianjian Division.
Thinking of this, Li Danqing was agitated. He looked at Xia Xianyin with a grimace and said, "But I really haven't done anything harmful. Xiao Xianyin, you know me. I am a very kind-hearted person. When I walk normally,
If an ant is accidentally trampled to death by me, I will be sad for a long time..."
When Xia Xianyin heard this, she couldn't help but roll her eyes again, thinking that she didn't know who was this soft-hearted guy who beat Mang Huan's son into a state of disgrace.
However, Xia Xianyin also understood that her master was not an easy person, and Li Danqing's glib skills would not be effective with him. She had no intention of talking nonsense with Li Danqing, so she said with a straight face: "You
You'd better tell me the truth, otherwise I won't be able to help you."
Li Danqing frowned and was about to say something when a voice suddenly came from the end of the corridor.
"The right and wrong must be judged by the public."
"Since the prince has a clear conscience, he will come to my house to discuss the truth and lies."
The old voice, hoarse and calm, came from the end of the darkness, looking strange and gloomy, as if there was an evil ghost whispering in the whisper.
Xia Xianyin's face changed, and she naturally recognized that it was Yin Wujiang's voice. She was not surprised that her master had such ability. What really made her uneasy was that Yin Wujiang was warning her through this voice not to
Do things that are contrary to your duties.
Such a warning intensified her worries about Li Danqing.
But Prince Li shrank his neck and murmured to Xia Xianyin with lingering fear: "What kind of skill is this? Could it be that the old man has learned some evil method?"
Xia Xianyin knew that her master had great eyes and ears, so she quickly glared at Li Danqing to silence him, fearing that this man who spoke freely would say something treacherous and anger her master.
"Follow me! Don't talk!" she said, not daring to say any more for fear of backfiring, so she just walked quickly to lead the way.
Seeing this, Li Danqing seemed to smell the smell, so he stopped talking and followed Xia Xianyin's footsteps.
Soon, the two of them walked through the long corridor of Tianjian Division and arrived in front of a mansion.
"Da Si Ming, Li Danqing has been brought here." Xia Xianyin said solemnly towards the closed door.
"Hmm." A dull voice came from the room.
Li Danqing, who was still looking at the strangely shaped room in front of him, had not yet come back to his senses. At this moment, the door in front of him slowly opened as the sound sounded.
A thick muffled sound rang out, and in the room, an old man in white clothes sat cross-legged on the ground, with a silver-white light above his head shining on his body.
Bathed in that light, the ethereal figure of the old man actually gave Li Danqing the illusion of seeing a god...
