Chapter 188 They are all old foxes, none of them is simple!
Jing Xinmo couldn't help but twitched the corner of his mouth when he saw Li Ying's slightly trembling figure. It turns out that you also know your own weight. Do you think you can kill the Marshal?
But even though he thought so in his heart, the words came to Jing Xin Mo's lips in a flattering tone. He waved the sleeves of his actor's costume and smiled:
"Don't worry, Your Highness. That bad commander is dead. Sooner or later, the world will fall into your hands."
Li Ying chuckled, then turned around and looked at Jing Xin Mo intently and asked, "How do you know that Buliang Shuai is definitely dead?"
"This..." Jing Xinmo was shocked. Li Ying's eyes looked a little strange, as if he already knew something.
However, Jing Xin Mo was such a powerful person that he immediately adjusted his mentality and said with a smile: "Your Highness, please don't joke. The body of this bad commander was sent out of Chang'an City by Li Xingyun himself."
Li Ying looked at Jing Xin Mo and said calmly, "Has anyone seen the body of the Bad Leader? Has anyone seen with their own eyes that the body in the coffin is the body of the Bad Leader?"
Li Ying's two questions made Jing Xinmo stunned. He was a little suspicious whether Li Ying knew something and was trying to trick him.
At this time, Li Ying did not look at Jing Xinmo's expression, but said to herself: "No one, no one is sure that Buliang Shuai is really dead."
At this moment, Jing Xin Mo looked at Li Ying's expression and immediately breathed a sigh of relief, then continued, "Your Highness, you were the first one to bring back the news of the Bad Commander's death."
Li Ying raised her head and looked at the Mirror Heart Demon and said, "Yes, I brought it back, but I'm afraid. I'm afraid that the Bad Leader is still alive. I'm afraid that he's hiding in the dark, watching the world and all of us like chess pieces. Do you understand this fear?"
The Mirror Heart Demon lowered his head slightly and said, "Your Highness, don't let the fear in your heart blind your eyes. It will only make you fall into an endless inner demon."
Li Ying suddenly laughed and said, "It seems that you don't understand. Although you are also an old generation of bad guys, you have never lived with the bad guy, so you don't understand his horror."
Mirror Heart Demon lowered his head and said nothing. Li Ying continued, "If, I mean if, the Bad Leader is really not dead, then what is the purpose of his fake death? Why did he fake his death? Why did he let me go? This is something I still don't understand. What is he planning?"
At this time, Jing Xin Mo also bowed and said, "Then it's as your highness said. Let's assume that the Buliang General is faking his death. Then why was the Hidden Soldiers Valley disbanded? Your highness also saw the news from Chang'an a few days ago. Li Xingyun disbanded the Hidden Soldiers Valley and planned to rebuild the Buliang People. If the Buliang General was faking his death, why would he let Li Xingyun do whatever he wanted?"
Li Ying waved her hand and said, "It's useless for you to think about these things. Don't use your thinking logic to understand the bad commander. What I want you to do is to assume that the bad commander is faking his death at any time and keep a backup plan."
Mirror Heart Demon raised his head slightly, looked directly at Li Ying and asked, "What does Your Highness mean?"
Li Ying narrowed his eyes and looked at Jing Xin Mo, with murderous intent in his eyes, and said: "If Buliang Shuai is not dead, and he asks you to kill me, will you kill me or not?"
Li Ying's words startled Jing Xin Mo, who then cupped his hands and said, "Your Highness, no Bad Man dares to disobey the orders of the Bad Commander."
Li Ying nodded immediately, and the murderous intent in his eyes disappeared. He knew the Bad People very well. If the Mirror Heart Demon just now said that he would not betray him, then it just showed that there was something wrong with this Mirror Heart Demon.
"Very good, so you know what to do, right? Go find someone for me." Li Ying's tone finally relaxed a little, which made Jing Xin Mo feel relieved. "Who?"
Li Ying said calmly, "A man who is about my age and looks a bit like me, give him a face transplant." Li Ying pointed at her own face and said, "Give him an identical face."
The Mirror Heart Demon's eyes narrowed slightly, and then he bowed and said, "Yes, Your Highness."
Li Ying poured herself some tea and said, "There's no other way. I have to leave myself a way out, right?"
Mirror Heart Demon immediately complimented: "Your Highness is far-sighted and foresighted. I admire you."
Li Ying took a sip of tea and asked, "Have you figured out the purpose of Li Xingyun's disturbance in Taiyuan this time?"
Mirror Heart Demon pretended to be confused and said, "Didn't he do that to save his brother Zhang Zifan? He has already been rescued."
"Haha, you believe this too." Li Ying sneered and said, "Then you really underestimate Li Xingyun."
"I have been observing his every move since he was young. I originally thought that he had been spoiled by Uncle Yang, but I didn't expect that he would change so much. Even the Bad Commander was shocked by him. So don't underestimate him."
"He mobilized three corpse ancestors this time, and also got the help of Tianshi Mansion. It is absolutely impossible that he did it just to save people. By the way, what was the order he gave you before coming to Taiyuan?"
Mirror Heart Demon bowed and said, "He ordered me to find out where Zhang Zifan was imprisoned, and told me not to act rashly. The bad guys in Taiyuan must not participate in this rescue operation."
Ta, ta, ta... Li Ying tapped the table with her index finger over and over again and said, "With your arrangement in Taiyuan, can you rescue Zhang Zifan without Li Xingyun sending reinforcements?"
"Yes." Mirror Heart Demon answered with certainty.
"That's right. That explains the problem even more. They have ready-made power but they don't use it. Instead, they seek something far away instead of something near."
Li Ying said in a gloomy tone: "This means that he must have other intentions, and he also asked you to be careful not to be exposed. What does this mean? What he is going to do next will definitely cause a shock to the entire Taiyuan. The King of Jin will definitely investigate the spies among the officials. What exactly is he going to do?"
Jing Xinmo became more and more frightened the more he listened. This Li Ying was no pushover. He could analyze so much with just the information he had.
"Interesting, Li Xingyun is really interesting. Keep a close eye on the area around Taiyuan and notify me immediately if there is any movement."
After Li Ying finished speaking, Jing Xin Mo nodded and said, "Your Highness, there is indeed one thing. Liang has declared war on Jin."
"Zhu Youzhen is such a fool. Instead of taking the opportunity to recuperate, he actually dared to start a war. He is really afraid that he will die too slowly." Li Ying waved his hand and said, "Liang State is just a castle in the air. Its demise is not far away. Let's focus on Li Xingyun."
"Yes, Your Highness."
Jing Xin Mo bowed and left. After leaving Li Ying's mansion, several figures appeared in front of him, "Sir."
Mirror Heart Demon said calmly: "What's the situation?"
The bad man replied, "Li Siyuan led 3,000 black cavalry in pursuit, but was repelled by the artillery prepared by Your Highness. Your Highness and his men successfully retreated, and Li Siyuan has now returned to Taiyuan."
"Also, Li Cunxu wants you to go to the Prince of Jin's Mansion to discuss matters."
"Got it. Give the order and send someone to Chen County in advance to hand over the information." Jing Xinmo gave the order and left quickly.
……
Jin Palace.
"Idiot, I asked you to supervise the country, but is this the country you supervise? You have people riding on your head and shitting on you, what's the point of having you, the Holy Master of Tongwenguan?"
Li Keyong angrily threw the teacup on the table. With a bang, the teacup hit Li Siyuan's head. Li Siyuan, who was already in a state of disgrace, suddenly had a cut on his forehead, and blood flowed out.
"It's all my fault, I hope my foster father will punish me."
Li Siyuan didn't dare to hide and could only kneel on the ground and accept the punishment obediently.
Li Sizhao, who was standing by, knelt down hurriedly and said, "Foster father, I don't know where Li Xingyun recruited these three corpse ancestors from. They are all extremely powerful. Even General Zhou's army couldn't stop them."
Li Sizhao's implication was very clear: if we were to die, we would die together; if we were to be scolded, we would be scolded together; no one could escape.
Zhou Dewei looked at Li Siyuan and Li Sizhao calmly, then stood up and saluted, saying, "Prince Jin, it was my fault for not arresting Li Xingyun."
Li Keyong waved his hand and said, "The army cannot move freely in the city. It is not easy to stop the great heavenly masters. This is not your fault. Please withdraw."
"Thank you, Prince Jin." Zhou Dewei returned to his seat without even looking at Li Sizhao. Li Sizhao's heart sank immediately. Oh no, with Prince Jin's attitude, I'm afraid he's going to use his elder brother as a target.
As expected, the King of Jin looked at Li Siyuan and asked calmly, "Li Siyuan, do you know what I have discovered during my recent retreat?"
Li Siyuan's back was covered in cold sweat. He kowtowed and said, "Foster father, there is something wrong with the Five Thunders Heavenly Heart Art. I didn't know it either. I discovered that this technique lacked the general principles of the mental method after I was attacked by the Five Thunders Heavenly Heart Art during my fight with Li Xingyun today."
Li Keyong snorted and said, "Humph, I asked you to find a martial arts method, but you found a fake one. Tongwenguan was attacked in your hands, and the face of our Jin State was trampled on the ground and humiliated. You are responsible for this matter. Are you willing to be punished?"
Li Siyuan knelt on the ground and kowtowed, saying, "I am willing to be punished."
Li Keyong nodded slightly and said, "From now on, Li Siyuan will be dismissed from his position as the Holy Master of Tongwenguan, and Li Cunli will temporarily take over the position of Holy Master."
"Thank you, my godfather." Li Cunli stood up and bowed.
Li Keyong waved his hand and said, "Okay, get up."
"Thank you, foster father." Li Siyuan was helped to stand up tremblingly by Li Sizhao. He looked as miserable as possible, but looking at Li Siyuan's eyes, they were very calm. It seemed that he had anticipated his current situation since Li Xingyun escaped.
"Ya Zi, tell me what you think about Li Xingyun's attack on Tongwenguan and Liang's sudden declaration of war against my Jin."
Li Keyong looked at Li Cunxu who was sitting next to him.
Li Cunxu, who was leaning back in his chair, fiddled with the mask on his face and said, "With Yang Shihou coming out of retirement, all the major military governors in Liang State have sent troops together. It seems that Liang State is really serious this time and wants to compete with us."
"As for Li Xingyun, he used the world's top combat power just to save people. I always feel that there is something fishy about this matter."
"Go on, what's wrong?"
Li Keyong said lightly.
"Three corpse ancestors, plus a Heavenly Master from the Heavenly Master Mansion, and Li Xingyun himself is also at the Great Heavenly Rank. This lineup is truly magnificent. It would make sense for him to use them to assassinate you, but he chose to do it just to save people. With the current strength of the Tongwen Pavilion, it is not worth it for Li Xingyun to mobilize so many masters."
"Then the question is, what exactly does Li Xingyun want to do? We have lost his trace now. If these people want to take advantage of the war between us and Liang State, it will be too easy for them to attack us."
"You're right. If masters of this strength are determined to cause damage, we really can't do anything to them." Although Li Keyong was confident that he could kill a master in the late Great Heavenly Stage, when five masters in the late Great Heavenly Stage joined forces, he really didn't know who would win or lose.
Even Li Keyong, who had dominated the world for decades, had never encountered such a game. Masters in the late Great Heaven Realm are extremely rare, let alone gathering five of them at once. Even if the entire Jin State were to gather its strength, there would be only five masters in the late Great Heaven Realm.
Li Cunli frowned slightly and said, "Based on the current situation, we did not receive any news before Tongwenguan was attacked, which means that our intelligence capabilities are far inferior to those of Li Xingyun's Bad People. Without the intelligence advantage, we are no different from blind people even in our own territory. We are very passive."
Li Cunli's words were implicitly attacking how useless the Tongwenguan in Jin State was, which made Li Siyuan, who had been silent on the side, clench his fists slightly.
Li Keyong could not fail to understand what his adopted son meant, and he immediately said calmly: "After you accept Tongwenguan, the money spent on Tongwenguan will increase by 30%. Keep your courtesy and don't disappoint your father's expectations."
"Thank you, godfather. I understand!" Li Cunli smiled slightly, his goal achieved.
At this time, Li Cunxu knocked on the table and said, "Rebuilding the Tongwenguan is a matter for the future. Far water cannot quench near thirst. What we need to do is to analyze what Li Xingyun, a descendant of Li Tang, wants to do by not staying in Chang'an and running to my Jin State."
Li Cunxu's words immediately made everyone silent. Yes, even if Tongwenguan was built, that would be a matter for later. The most important thing now was to capture Li Xingyun.
At this time, a figure standing behind Li Cunxu stepped out and said:
"I do have a guess."
This person is qualified to dress up as an actor in the entire Jin State, except Jing Xinmo.
"You said."
Li Keyong was obviously more patient with his inner demons in front of the mirror than with other actors.
Mirror Heart Demon bowed and said, "Does King Jin know about the Longquan treasure?"
boom!
Jing Xin Mo's words were like a fire in the darkness, instantly illuminating a clear path for everyone!
Who is Li Xingyun?
They are descendants of Li Tang!
What can the descendants of Li Tang do?
Can open the Longquan treasure!
Then everything can be explained. There is only one reason why Li Xingyun stayed in Jin State and greeted many great masters, and that is to open the Longquan treasure!
"That makes sense." Li Keyong looked at the inner demon with appreciation.
"Father, does this Longquan treasure really exist?" Li Cunxu looked at Li Keyong with doubt.
Li Keyong said calmly, "I can be sure that the Longquan treasure really exists. When I and Zhu Wen wiped out Huang Chao, we did not find the treasure from Chang'an in Huang Chao's place. So I can be sure that Emperor Zhaozong buried everything of the Tang Dynasty in an unknown place."
Seeing his father saying so, Li Cunxu said in a deep voice: "It seems that Li Xingyun must have discovered some very important clues in my Jin State!"
At this time, Jing Xin Mo added softly, "Taiyuan is where the Li family made their fortune!"
