After leaving Fang Yuezhai, Li Danqing's mood became increasingly heavy.
I haven’t returned to Wuyang City for more than a year. Undercurrents are surging in Wuyang City, and the battle for the right to inherit the throne is intensifying. What’s even more terrifying is...
Ji Qi is actually going to die...
Li Danqing understood very well what the transition of imperial power meant. Today, Wuyang City may be far more dangerous than he imagined.
Li Danqing secretly thought about how he should settle down in this treacherous situation, but his footsteps became more and more hurried.
What he experienced today was too much even for Prince Li. He wanted to go home, sort out his thoughts and have a good rest.
Just then, when he left the street where Fang Yuezhai was, a bloody light suddenly lit up in his arms.
Li Danqing's footsteps stopped at that time, and he stretched his hand into his arms as if feeling something. At this moment, a black token was held in front of him. Li Danqing looked intently, and saw the quilt on the black token.
There are streaks of blood-colored light flowing around the carved character "Ming".
Li Danqing frowned. This object was given to him by Yu Qinghuan, the master of the Yin Palace of the Eternal Life Palace. According to her, it was a token representing the position of the master of the Nether Palace. Li Danqing once took the initiative with this object.
I have contacted Yu Qinghuan, who has transformed into Xing Shuangshuang, and this thing is acting strangely at this moment, presumably for no reason.
"His Royal Highness, I haven't seen you for a few months, do you miss me?" As soon as such thoughts came up, a charming voice sounded from the Mingzi token and reached Li Danqing's ears.
Li Danqing made a serious face and said firmly: "I don't want to."
The person on the other end of the token obviously did not expect Li Danqing's answer to be so cold. She was silent for a while, and then continued to whisper in a soft voice: "The prince is so ruthless, but the slave family thinks about the prince every day...
"
The voice coming from the token was on the verge of tears, so pitiful.
But Li Danqing was not moved at all: "If you have something to talk about, if you have nothing to do, leave the court. In the middle of the night, many girls are waiting for me on the bed."
After saying these words, bursts of sweet laughter suddenly came from the token: "The prince is still so interesting, but even if the slave family likes the prince so much, they will not sleep with the prince's big quilt with the ground as the bed and the sky as the cover, but I don't know why.
The girl listens to the prince's words so much, even though there is no one around, she can make the prince do whatever he wants just by walking on the street..."
"I think that girl must like the prince more than the slave family..."
Yu Qinghuan's charming voice came from the token, but Li Danqing's expression suddenly changed, and he looked around alertly.
"Your Majesty, you don't need to look, our hidden stakes are so easy for Your Majesty to find." Yu Qinghuan obviously knew Li Danqing's every move and said it at the right time.
Li Danqing's face became even more ugly. He was unwilling to accept the feeling that his every move was being monitored.
"Thanks to the Crown Prince, Wu Yangchao took care of the hidden stakes installed by our Eternal Life Palace. There are not many left in Wuyang City now. The Crown Prince just happened to be seen. Besides..."
"If we really want to monitor the prince, then the slave family will not be willing to let others come, and the slave family will do it themselves."
Yu Qinghuan's tone was so soft and affectionate that it made people's bones tingle. However, Prince Li didn't have the heart to feel this at the moment. Instead, he said in a deep voice: "So, you came to me today just to tell me that I
I'm always under your surveillance, right?"
"The prince's words are so good that the slave family is heartbroken. The slave family has always been thinking about the prince's affairs, and they came to you because the matter has improved." Yu Qinghuan said sweetly.
"Is it improving?" Li Danqing's face changed at that time, as if he had thought of something: "You mean?"
"Go forward three blocks and turn right into Zangyun Lane. If the prince can arrive in time for a cup of tea, I guarantee that the prince's trip will be worthwhile."
Li Danqing's heart trembled when he heard this, and he wanted to speak again, but the blood light on the token with the word Ming suddenly dispersed, leaving no trace. No matter how Li Danqing called, there was no response.
Li Danqing frowned, stopped thinking, and hurried towards the address designated by Yu Qinghuan.
…
Soon Li Danqing came to the entrance of Zangyun Lane. He walked a little hastily, fearing that he would miss the beautiful thing that Yu Qinghuan didn't mention that made his trip "worthwhile". But just as he turned into the alley, he was surprised.
I caught a glimpse of a guy in a black hood standing in front of the door of a small courtyard in the corner of the alley not far away.
Li Danqing felt alarmed and hurriedly retreated. Then he leaned against the courtyard wall and carefully stuck his head out to look there.
I saw the guy in black stretched out his hand and gently knocked on the door in front of him.
"Thank you late at night, please come back." A hoarse voice came from the door, and just the sound of it made Li Danqing feel numb.
"People walk in the day, and ghosts walk in the dark."
"Visitors come at night for their own reasons." The man in black robe who knocked on the door whispered.
Although both parties deliberately lowered their voices, Li Danqing's physical body was strong. With the method of tempering his physical body, his hearing was also different from ordinary people. Even though the two sides were several feet apart, Li Danqing still listened to the conversation between them.
Really.
After hearing this, the door was silent for a while, and then with a hoarse voice, the door was slowly opened.
A hand holding a candlestick stretched out from the door and said quietly: "I am a guest, so please invite me."
The black-robed man nodded when he heard the words, and then slowly took off the hood on his head. With the candlestick extended by the owner of the room, Li Danqing also saw the other person's face clearly. At that moment, Li Danqing
The prince's expression suddenly changed, his pupils suddenly dilated, and his eyes widened.
It was a face with some vicissitudes of life.
Twenty-five or six, with sharp edges and corners, eyebrows that are three points cold and seven points gloomy, aquiline nose and thick lips, with a little white snow in the black hair on the temples, but it is not because of age.
Li Danqing recognized him.
To be precise, I am very familiar with him.
This guy who should be dead...
His name is Li Sheyuan.
…
He is Li Mulin's adopted son and Li Danqing's elder brother.
He is seven or eight years older than Li Danqing. Li Sheyuan has been by Li Mulin's side since Li Danqing was sensible.
Follow Li Mulin on the battlefield, through life and death.
In the White Wolf Army, Li Sheyuan is also quite prestigious. Many people even lamented that it would be great if Li Sheyuan was Li Mulin's biological son. With Li Sheyuan's talent, he could protect Wuyang for fifty years.
There will be no harm from the Liao people for many years.
It's a pity that this general, who was valued by the Longxiang Mansion, died together with Li Mulin under the knife of the Liao people more than a year ago.
This was clearly stated in the obituary posted on the court floor.
But compared to the body of Li Mulin that was brought back, the remaining hundreds of guards who followed Li Mulin died without a burial place.
but why……
Now he appears alive in Wuyang City again?
If he had no evil intentions, why didn't he return to Wuyang City directly instead of appearing after more than a year?
Before this, Yu Qinghuan had told him that Li Sheyuan had appeared in the Liao Kingdom. Does that mean that Li Mulin was dead and that he might have colluded with the Liao people?
Li Danqing's mood became extremely complicated at that time. Even though Yu Qinghuan had told him about this before, Li Danqing still didn't want to believe it. Instead, he felt that it was a ploy by the Palace of Eternal Life to deceive him.
But at this moment, Li Sheyuan was standing just a few feet away from him, and he would definitely not mistake that face that he had seen since childhood.
Li Danqing was in a daze for a moment, with thoughts swirling in his mind.
He didn't get along much with this nominal brother. He only remembered that when he was a child, he was taken by Li Sheyuan to go shopping, climb fruit trees, and hunt hares.
But the two are not close.
Li Sheyuan is a very serious guy, and this began to show up when he was very young.
At that time, Li Mulin had strict requirements on Li Danqing. Although his own cultural level was limited to being able to understand obscene poems and songs, he required Li Danqing to be familiar with military books. From the age of six, Li Danqing was often required to stay in the study room.
, looking at the things that made him sleepy.
But Prince Li is no one who can sit still. You have a good plan, and I have a wall ladder.
From then on, Prince Li began to fight against his father.
He dug holes in the ground, coerced and lured his servants, and he even did the ridiculous thing of adding perspiration medicine to his father's food, just so he could go to Bailuo Street to buy a candied cake before dark.
But every time at this time, Li Sheyuan would appear from a place Li Danqing could not imagine and capture him.
Whether Prince Li was being cute or coquettish or showing affection, it never worked for Li Sheyuan.
Over time, Li Danqing became unwilling to associate with him and regarded him as a spy sent to him by Li Mulin.
Later, as Li Danqing grew up, the playboy's true nature was exposed, and the gap between the two became deeper. They could not meet twice in a year, and when they did meet, they only exchanged polite greetings.
Apart from that, there is no common topic.
"Hmm." When Li Danqing was thinking about this, Li Sheyuan, who was standing at the door of the room, nodded towards the owner of the room, and then he walked into the courtyard under the guidance of the other party.
Li Danqing suppressed his urge to rush forward and ask what was going on. He hid in the dark and watched the other party walk into the courtyard, then cautiously moved towards that place.
Li Danqing knew very well that there must be something fishy behind Li Mulin's death. But Li Sheyuan was definitely not the only culprit. The interests involved behind this were huge, and there must be other people supporting Li Sheyuan.
If you want to figure out what's going on, you must be calm and take action at this moment. Not to mention whether he can be the opponent of Li Sheyuan, who has been in the battlefield for more than ten years. Even if he really wins by luck, it will only scare the enemy.
No matter how much Li Danqing wants to avenge his father at the moment, long-term planning is the safest way.
…
Zangyun Lane, No. 3 Ding, Huangfu.
Li Danqing came to the door of the mansion and silently noted the location of the door. He also thought about checking the situation inside the door, but the door was locked tightly without any gaps. Li Danqing scratched his head and ears for a while, but he couldn't get a glimpse.
A little bit of the situation in the house.
I thought about trying to climb up the wall again, but before I could implement this plan, there was another sound of footsteps coming from the door of the house.
Li Danqing was startled and hurriedly ducked his head again and hid in a corner. He saw Li Sheyuan walking out of the door at this moment and whispering a few words to the person who led the way. But this time, Li Shizi hid far away.
He didn't hear clearly what they were saying. When he came to his senses, Li Sheyuan had already turned around and left.
A monk who can run away cannot run away from the temple. This courtyard has always been here. Li Danqing did not rush to the door to find out what was going on, but hurriedly followed the footsteps of Li Sheyuan who left - he had to understand that this
Who is this guy's contact in Wuyang City? If you are lucky, you will be able to figure out who is the murderer behind his father's death.
The time has arrived at Yin hour.
There were almost no pedestrians on the street. Li Danqing knew very well that Li Sheyuan was very advanced. He did not dare to get too close, so he could only follow him from a distance. He passed through several blocks and then turned into
I don't know how many alleys, but the other party still hasn't reached his destination.
Li Danqing also gradually noticed something unusual. It seemed that Li Sheyuan had realized the fact that he was being followed and was deliberately leading Li Danqing in a circle.
Just when Li Danqing was thinking about whether to show up and confront the opponent face to face since he was discovered, Li Sheyuan's footsteps
Suddenly speeding up and suddenly turning into an alley, Li Danqing was shocked and hurriedly chased after him. However, when he came to the alley and looked closely, he saw that there was no one in the narrow alley, and Li Danqing could no longer be found.
The slightest trace of the shooting shaft.
…
Li Danqing walked around the entrance of the alley many times, but still could not find any trace of Li Sheyuan. This took Li Shizi nearly half an hour.
By the time he returned to Li's Mansion, the sky was already bright.
He was silently calculating in his heart the most likely destination of Li Sheyuan, and also secretly thinking about how he could find out the origin of the house in Zangyun Lane.
Thinking about this, Prince Li opened the courtyard door in front of him absentmindedly, but the sight he saw stunned Li Danqing.
In front of the pavilion in front of the mansion, Liu Yanzhen, Song Tong'er, Qingzhu, Jiang Yu, and Luo An'an were sitting with expressionless faces, holding their hands on their chests, staring coldly at Li Danqing who pushed in the door.
Li Danqing was also alert. At that time, his body was trembling, and he quickly closed the door again. He exited with numb steps. His mind was running rapidly. It took him ten breaths to finally get the idea out of the hurry.
How to deal with it.
I saw Li Shizi rubbing his hair, pushing a few strands of hair to his forehead, holding back a few more breaths, his face turned red, and then he looked around and saw a pool of sediment on the ground.
Water, Li Shizi's eyes lit up, and he hurried forward and dabbed some on his forehead.
After doing this, Prince Li breathed a sigh of relief. Then he backed away from the door again and trotted all the way into the mansion. He ignored the people on the pavilion who glared at him and shouted:
"Come on! Come on!" chants, and he will run towards his room.
"Is this how the dean plans to leave?" However, reality made Li Shizi's wishful thinking come to nothing, and Liu Yanzhen's deep voice sounded.
Li Danqing stopped and glanced sideways, only to see that Liu Yanzhen's hand was clearly on the handle of the black water knife...
Prince Li suddenly felt frightened, but he still calmly reached out and wiped the water stains on his head, looking like he was panting: "Hey, everyone is up?"
"Do you think it's strange? I couldn't sleep yesterday, so I went out early for morning exercise and went for a run."
"This Wuyang City is different. It has only been a little over a year, and many places have changed. You will go out and have a look later. Those towers and towers are not something you can see in ordinary places."
To be fair, at this critical moment when his wealth and life are at stake, Prince Lee's potential has fully exploded. This acting is not to say that it is fake, but at least it cannot find any major flaws.
However, the people in front of him didn't buy it. Luo An'an turned his head and glanced at Liu Yanzhen and others beside him, and said quietly: "Yesterday, the dean and Xia Siming went to Tianjian Division. All the sisters were worried to death. They were worried all night.
No sleep..."
As soon as he said these words, sweat burst out from Li Danqing's forehead, and the eyes that fell on him became a little colder at this moment.
Li Danqing was agitated. Knowing that the matter was exposed, he licked his face and laughed dryly before saying: "Actually..."
"Actually, I just came out of Tianjian Division. You all know Tianjian Division. No one can lose a skin after entering. I, the dean, had a heated exchange of words with those big and small commanders inside. Only then did I let him
They let me go."
"It's not because I want you to worry, so..."
Li Danqing was talking, but suddenly stopped...
It's not that Prince Li had any conscience, but at this moment, behind everyone, Xia Xianyin slowly stood up.
There was a sudden silence in front of the courtyard gate of Li Mansion.
After a while, Li Danqing waved his hand awkwardly towards Xia Xianyin with a stiff expression: "Xiao...Xiao Xianyin is here so early..."
"Last night some people looked reluctant to leave. I thought to myself that I might as well move here. You left last night and I came back..." Xia Xianyin said coldly, with a black dagger looming under her sleeves.
"This...is like this." The muscles at the corners of Li Danqing's mouth twitched, and he subconsciously took a step back.
"So... where did the dean go yesterday?" Qingzhu also asked at this time, and the green sword intention began to wash away her whole body.
"It is said that the Crown Prince likes the girl from Hualiu Lane in Wuyang City. Could it be that he took advantage of his return yesterday to find his old lover and express his feelings to her?" Song Tong'er's eyes were cold, and the flying sword behind her murmured softly.
The rolling murderous intent seemed to have turned into reality and was rushing towards Li Danqing.
Li Danqing's heart was full of ghosts, driven by a huge survival instinct.
"I don't!"
"not me!"
"Freeze said!"
A group of scumbags appeared three times in a row, showing their deceitful appearance.
"Dong dong dong." At this moment, there was a knock on the door of the house.
Zhou Qiushen, who lived in the side room, walked out of the room in a daze. He was not aware of the tense atmosphere in front of the pavilion. He just went to the door of the house and opened the door, muttering: "Who is it so early in the morning?"
Standing outside the door was a man in linen clothes. When he saw Zhou Qiushen, he nodded and bowed, and said with a smile: "I have met Butler Zhou."
"I'm the young man from Baihua House, and I'm here to pick up the money the prince paid for his meeting with Miss Yuyan at our restaurant yesterday..."
Gulu.
As soon as the boy's words came out, Li Danqing's body suddenly stiffened. He swallowed his saliva and looked sideways at the girls in front of the pavilion. He wanted to say something, but he saw several people flying up at that moment.
"The blue bird soars with the dragon!"
"Eight tigers emerge from the abyss!"
"Black Water Knife Technique!"
"Shake the Void Flying Sword!"
That day...
The swords and swords in the Crown Prince's Mansion flickered endlessly, and the Crown Prince's wails echoed throughout the world...
