Chapter 16 Why is the Marshal laughing?

"Your Majesty, I am terrified..." Yuan Tiangang knelt on the ground and bowed his head. His voice became calmer and calmer, and no emotion could be heard. However, a strange smile appeared on the hideous face under the mask.

"Stand up. Kneeling is not customary in the Tang Dynasty. You have been loyal to the Tang Dynasty for three hundred years. I think that even if you betray the world, you will not betray the Tang Dynasty. From today on, you don't have to perform formalities when you see me."

Li Xingyun respected Yuan Tiangang, and he also needed Yuan Tiangang, but he didn't want to live under Yuan Tiangang's shadow. He couldn't, and neither could the future monarch of the Tang Dynasty! If he wanted to achieve his ambitions and revive the Tang Dynasty, Yuan Tiangang would be the first hurdle he had to overcome!
"Your Highness, thank you very much, your Highness." Yuan Tiangang stood up slowly without saying much. Li Xingyun put his hands behind his back and said, "Is there anyone around you who is proficient in disguise? Lend me some."

"Yes!" Yuan Tiangang clasped his fists and said, "I will call back Tianzangxing right away to serve Your Highness."

Tianzangxing Sanqianyuan, one of the thirty-six captains of the Bad People, known as the Three Thousand Faces in the martial arts world, his disguise skills are unparalleled in the world!

"Okay, let him come to see me as soon as possible." Li Xingyun turned around and slowly pushed open the door of the hall, revealing several guys who were eavesdropping outside. The four of them immediately looked embarrassed. Yang Shuzi frowned slightly and said, "Xingyun..."

"Master, now that things have come to this, are you willing to come out and lend me a helping hand?" Li Xingyun looked at Yang Shuzi and bowed, his face looking serious.

Yang Shuzi knew that his fate was already determined and that Li Xingyun's entry into the world was inevitable, so he immediately clasped his fists and said, "Uncle Yang, the bad man Tian Lixing, greets His Highness!"

Li Xingyun turned his head and looked at Qin Yong and Qin Meng, and said, "You two should gather your men as soon as possible, and wait for Tianzangxing to return, and then follow me out of the valley."

"This... Your Highness." Qin Meng bowed and looked into the hall. At this time, Yuan Tiangang's voice suddenly rang out, "From today on, the bad people will obey your orders. Those who disobey your orders will be executed!"

"Yes, Marshal!" Qin Meng and Qin Yong clasped their fists at the same time, while Li Xingyun glanced at Yuan Tiangang in the hall. What kind of expression would the face hidden under the black iron mask have now? Li Xingyun didn't know, but he was sure that he had made the right bet. Attacking the city was inferior to conquering the heart. Yuan Tiangang had passed this level.

night.

A figure stood in the hall, wrapped in a black robe, with a mask of the bad guys on his face. He bowed and said, "General!"

Yuan Tiangang sat high on the main seat, fiddling with a black chess piece with his fingertips. His hoarse and low voice slowly rang out, "One hexagram lasts for a thousand years. I claim to be able to conquer nature, but I am always trapped in one hexagram. I thought I had calculated everything for him, but I never expected that he would just overturn this chess game that I had spent so much effort to set up today. Haha, hahahaha..."

The man in black robe clenched his fists slightly and asked, "Marshal, why are you laughing?"

Yuan Tiangang leaned sideways on the couch and said in a relaxed tone, "After His Highness learned of my identity, the first thing he thought of was not to win me over, but to question and pressure me. Attacking the city is inferior, attacking the heart is superior. He keenly grasped the shortcomings of my 300-year lifespan, and used the words 'old people are gone' to speculate on my thoughts and used his dead father and brother to coerce me with the righteousness. He is really not afraid that I will have a rebellious heart and kill him. Why does he trust me so much? Is he gambling? Or is he sure?"

Huh... Yuan Tiangang sighed lightly, "But these are no longer important!" "Isn't this exactly what the Marshal wants?" The man in black robe said with a bow, his voice trembling slightly.

"Yes, this is what I want, but in this case, you, have no need to exist." Yuan Tiangang snapped his fingers, and the black chess piece in his hand flew out with a wave of air, passing over the side of the black-robed man's face, knocking off the mask on the black-robed man's face, revealing a face exactly the same as Li Xingyun's. However, this face was covered with cracks and scars, and looked extremely terrifying.

"Marshal, I..." Li Xingyun was suddenly terrified, and fell to his knees with a plop. "Marshal, you promised me that if I can do better than him, I can replace him!"

"Shut up!" Yuan Tiangang shouted, and suddenly appeared beside Li Xingyun, grabbed his neck, lifted him up, and slammed him to the ground. "You are a discarded child. I gave you more than ten years of life. How dare you covet the throne of the emperor?"

Yuan Tiangang once calculated a hexagram with his close friend Li Chunfeng. The hexagram showed that three hundred years later, the Tang Dynasty would be destroyed, and Li Xingyun, the only descendant of the Li Tang Dynasty, would be a wanderer who liked to live a carefree life. After Li Xingyun's death, the fate of the Tang Dynasty would completely dissipate, and the chaos in the world could not be changed by one person's power. Therefore, after Huang Chao's troops entered the Eastern Capital, Yuan Tiangang began to spend his energy and energy to make plans for Li Xingyun!

The man in front of him with the same face as Li Xingyun was actually the illegitimate son of Zhaozong and a maid. He was rescued by Yuan Tiangang when he was about to be executed. Later, Yuan Tiangang raised him and used secret techniques to paint his face to look like Li Xingyun, so that he could force Li Xingyun to become emperor and fight for hegemony in the future.

Originally, in Yuan Tiangang's plan, Li Huan, die! Lu Youjie, die! Yang Shuzi, die! Zhu Wen, die! Zhu Yougui, die! Zhu Youwen, die! Zhu Youzhen, die! Li Keyong, die! Li Cunxu, die! ...Fake Li, die! Yuan Tiangang, die!
He had already prepared to use his death to start a new chapter for Li Xingyun, and to use his death to continue the fortune of the Tang Dynasty that should have dissipated. However, what he did not expect was that the Li Xingyun of today was completely different from the Li Xingyun in the hexagram, and coupled with the confusion of destiny, all the arrangements made by Yuan Tiangang before were now useless.

"General... I... cough... I have no intention of being disloyal..." Fake Li panted intermittently and begged for mercy, but Yuan Tiangang asked coldly: "Your Highness is ambitious and has a heart full of the desire to restore the Tang Dynasty. Now, what use are you to?"

Fake Li opened his eyes wide, struggled, and screamed, "I have a face just like yours. If there is a crisis, I can die for your Highness at the critical moment!"

Huh... Huh... The big hand that was clamped on the neck disappeared in an instant, leaving only Yuan Tiangang's deep voice lingering in the fake Li's ears, "Go down, remember what you said, from now on, you are the shadow of His Highness!"

"Yes, Marshal..."

The shadow left, and another figure appeared behind Yuan Tiangang. "Your Highness, something has happened. Does the arrangement of Jin State need to be changed?"

Yuan Tiangang said nothing, but with one hand he raised a token and it was sucked into his hand. He rubbed the token carefully with two fingers and said slowly, "No need to change. Those who deserve to die will still die. You will leave the valley with His Highness tomorrow. From now on, all the bad people will obey His Highness."

"General..." The man looked at Yuan Tiangang with his eyes slightly opened, and then said firmly: "Subordinates, I understand!"
