Chapter 12 Revealing one's identity and hiding the truth!
On March 13, the second year of Qianhua, Yuzhou Governor's Office.
"Your Highness, you have a good alcohol tolerance!" Xu Cun raised his glass to praise. Li Xingyun also raised his glass and said with a smile: "Today, it is also a farewell drink. I toast to General Xu."
Xu Cun was stunned, and waved his hand, "Your Highness is leaving? Are you dissatisfied with my hospitality?"
Li Xingyun put down his wine glass and said seriously, "General Xu, that's not true. I just have something to do and can't stay for long. The old man at home asked me to meet someone. I'm afraid it's not good to go too late."
"Oh? Who does Your Highness want to see?" Xu Cun's eyes turned and he couldn't help but mutter in his heart, who is the old man that Li Xingyun mentioned?
"This person's identity is secret, so I won't say much. General Xu will know it in the future. Before I leave, Xingyun has something to ask of you." Li Xingyun bowed. Xu Cun was stunned for a moment, then stood up and clasped his fists and said, "Your Highness's business is my business. I will go through fire and water for you!"
Li Xingyun smiled slightly and said, "After I leave Yuzhou City, you have to spread two pieces of news. Remember, it must be spread in a big way so that everyone knows about it!"
After Xu Cunxian heard what Li Xingyun said, his eyes gradually widened, and his face was filled with shock...
……
On March 14, the second year of Qianhua, two pieces of news came out from Yuzhou City: Yang Shuzi's disciple Li Xingyun, the tenth son of Emperor Zhaozong, was in Yuzhou, and this boy also knew the whereabouts of the Longquan Sword, the key to unlock the Longquan treasure! Once this news came out, the whole world was shocked!
The second year of Qianhua, March 20th, Xuanming Sect.
Tap, tap, tap, a series of crisp sounds came from the secret passage, and a white-haired old woman walked out slowly with a cane, "Greetings to Po Meng!" The first to pay the respects was the Water and Fire Judge of the Xuanming Sect, who was wrapped in a black robe, followed by the Five Yama Kings of the Xuanming Sect and thousands of followers.
Meng Po knocked the stone slab with her cane, and everyone fell silent. Meng Po spoke slowly in a voice like a drake: "I have called you all together today to discuss an important matter. This matter concerns the fate of my Xuanming Sect and Daliang."
At this time, Jiang Renjie, the eldest of the five Yama Lords, suddenly clasped his fists and said, "Meng Po, I have something important to tell you."
"Hmm?" Meng Po paused and asked, "What's the matter?"
Jiang Renjie said, "News came from the Yuzhou branch that the Black and White Impermanence and dozens of their followers who went to Qingcheng Mountain to look for the thousand-year-old Fire Ganoderma died in Yuzhou. News also came from Yuzhou about the Longquan treasure and the remnants of the Li Tang dynasty. Li Xingyun, a disciple of Yang Shuzi, is the tenth son of Emperor Zhaozong. He also knows the whereabouts of the Longquan Sword, the key to the Longquan treasure. I don't know why, but in just a few days, this news has spread throughout the martial arts world."
"What? News about the Longquan treasure and the remnants of the Li Tang dynasty spread from Yuzhou City?" Meng Po's eyes narrowed and she asked in surprise, "When did this news spread from Yuzhou City?"
Jiang Renjie clasped his fists and said, "According to the letter from the Yuzhou branch, these two pieces of information should have appeared in Yuzhou city on March 14th." At this moment, not only Meng Po frowned, but even the Xuanming sect members below also frowned. Why doesn't the time match?
"I don't know if this news is true, so I came to report to Meng Po and hope to tell the leader this news." After Jiang Renjie finished speaking, Meng Po thought for a while and slowly said, "The leader is in seclusion and can't take care of this matter for the time being. Jiang Renjie, when the Li Tang royal family was massacred, it was you brothers who led the people. Do you remember whether all the descendants of Emperor Zhaozong were massacred?"
The five Yama Kings looked at each other. Jiang Renjie frowned and thought, "To Meng Po, my brothers and others did massacre the Li Tang royal family, but, but..."
"But what?" Meng Po asked in a deep voice.
Jiang Chongde, the second of the five Hades, clasped his fists and said, "Replying to Meng Po, the tenth son of Emperor Zhaozong was buried in the sea of fire and his face was destroyed. We were unable to confirm his identity." Meng Po paced back and forth with a cane and said:
"In that case, the news about the Longquan treasure and the descendants of Li Tang should be true. Eight years ago, the Black and White Impermanence killed Lu Youjie, who was carrying the Longquan sword, and an old eunuch in Yuzhou. At that time, Yang Shuzi took the Longquan sword and rescued Lu Youjie's daughter and a boy. You should all know that eunuchs can only be found in certain places. Moreover, this eunuch also brought a child with him. The boy should be the tenth son of Emperor Zhaozong, Li Xingyun!"
"Five Yama Lords, listen to my orders. I now order the five of you to go to Yuzhou City and capture Li Xingyun immediately. I will mobilize all the people in the various branches. I want to see him alive or dead!"
"Yes, Meng Po!" The five Yama Lords immediately clasped their fists and shouted. The fifth Yama Lord Jiang Zhaoyi patted his chest excitedly and said, "Don't worry, Meng Po, the five of us brothers will definitely catch Li Xingyun. The remnants of the Li Tang are not worth mentioning."
Jiang Renjie frowned and glanced at Jiang Zhaoyi, saying, "Old Five, don't be careless. I suspect that the death of the Black and White Impermanence is most likely related to this Li Xingyun."
Jiang Zhaoyi laughed and said, "Brother, you worry too much. The Black and White Impermanence are just useless things. How can they be compared with us five Yama Lords? Now my Flame Dragon Palm has been practiced to perfection. I guess Li Xingyun can't even take a single blow from me."
Hearing this, Meng Po grinned and said, "Haha, I've heard that the Fifth Lord of Hell's Flame Dragon Palm is unrivaled in the world. This time, I wish the Five Lords of Hell success."
……
Phantom Square.
Behind the red gauze curtain, there was a young woman lying on the couch. She leaned against the curtain and her face could not be seen. She wore a golden phoenix crown and a pair of hairpins on her head. She had a wisp of hair on each temple. She wore a tube-top dress with golden sleeves, which half exposed her shoulders. Her graceful figure was faintly visible under the skirt. Her bare feet were crossed on the couch. Her skin was as red as a jade. A lazy but extremely cold voice came from the woman's mouth, "Are you back?"
"Yes, Queen, the Fire Ganoderma has been brought back intact!" Ji Ruxue knelt on one knee in the hall. The object in her hand was the wooden box that she had taken from Li Xingyun's room. Then a maid took the wooden box from Ji Ruxue's hand. Ji Ruxue felt relieved at this time and inexplicably thought of the young man named Li Xingyun whom she met in Yuzhou City. She really felt guilty about what she had done this time and could only find a chance to repay him in the future.
"Well done. You came from Yuzhou City. Have you heard any rumors?" The empress opened her red lips again, but Ji Ruxue was stunned. "I don't know what rumors there are."
The Empress said: "Zhaozong's tenth son, Li Xingyun, appeared in Yuzhou City, and he also knew the whereabouts of the Longquan Sword. This news spread throughout the world in just a few days."
"What, Li Xingyun?" Ji Ruxue looked up at the empress in surprise. She clearly remembered what the black-haired young man said to her.
"Why, do you know him?" The empress's voice finally had some emotion.
Ji Ruxue immediately explained: "I was injured by someone from the Xuanming Sect when I was trying to obtain the Fire Ganoderma in Qingcheng Mountain. He saved my life."
The empress glanced slightly, revealing a stunning face, "Oh? Since you know him, it's just right for you to go to Yuzhou again with Fanyintian and Miaochengtian, and be sure to invite Li Xingyun back to Qi. This person is very important to our Qi country!"
"Yes!"
