Chapter 197 People’s Hearts, Twelve Dong International Students!
Li Siyuan looked at everyone's performance with great satisfaction. This was exactly the effect he wanted. Although he no longer had the position of Holy Lord, Tongwenguan was still under his control.

Li Sizhao also stood beside Li Siyuan with the power of a tiger. Compared with the shrewd Li Siyuan, Li Sizhao was actually more suitable to be a general on the battlefield.

The people in the field had different expressions when watching this scene. Li Cunli was still too young after all, but being young also had its advantages, and he was able to endure. Even in this situation today, he did not fall out with Li Siyuan, which was enough to show that Li Cunli's character was also very strong.

At this time, Tongwenguan was in a delicate balance. Of course, it is not known whether this was also part of Jin Wang Li Keyong's calculations.

"Brother, everyone in Jin State knows about Li Xingyun's troubles now, and we are now openly opposing the descendants of Li Tang. We are at a disadvantage in terms of justice and public opinion."

The person who was speaking was Li Cun Yi. No one knew where this fellow got the liquor from every day, but his wine gourd was never empty. Of course, this was also related to the martial arts he practiced, Drunken Fist.

Li Cun Yi, who originally had the cultivation level of Zhong Tian Rank, could reach the Da Tian Rank in terms of combat power after drinking. This also gave Li Cun Yi a high prestige in Tong Wen Guan.

"Haha, Lao Wu, this is not something you should worry about. Our foster father will give us a surprise when the time comes. Our Jin Kingdom is the orthodox one in the world."

Facing Li Cunyi's doubts, Li Siyuan laughed. At this time, he was trying his best to create an image of himself as a loyal dog of King Jin. Having sat on the position of the saintly leader of Tongwenguan for a long time, his power in the court became more and more deeply rooted. Facing Li Keyong's suspicion and suppression this time, Li Siyuan chose two words: forbearance!
Li Cunli also realized something at this time and frowned. He knew the identity of Li Ying. There was also a descendant of Li Tang in their Jin State. Could it be that his father wanted to support Li Ying to become emperor?
On the field, Li Siyuan had a smile on his face, Li Cunli looked thoughtful, and only Li Cunyong and others had confused looks on their faces.

The status of the various Tongwenguan masters can also be seen here. Not everyone is qualified to know Li Ying's identity and Jin's plan for Li Ying.

As long as you support Li Ying to become emperor, Jin will be the new Tang Dynasty, and Jin will be the only orthodox one!
Li Cunyi narrowed his eyes and looked at Li Siyuan, the riddler, and stopped asking questions. He waved his hand and said, "Brother, if you have any orders, just send me a pigeon. I'm leaving first."

Li Cunyi didn't want to deal with people like Li Siyuan anymore. He was so tired.

Li Siyuan watched Li Cunyi leave, and then looked at Li Cunli. Coincidentally, Li Cunli was also looking at him at this time. The two smiled at each other, like two foxes.

……

Mirror Heart Demon Mansion.

Ding-dong, ding-dong.

Two copper coins fell on the bluestone slab, making a crisp sound.

Mirror Heart Demon looked down at the hexagram, then expressionlessly put the copper coin into the tortoise shell, and walked around the room with the Tiangang Step. He shook the tortoise shell in his hand vigorously as he walked.

Wow.

Wow.

As the tortoise shell was shaken, the copper coins inside kept making crisp sounds.

jingle.

The copper coin fell from the gap in the tortoise shell again. Mirror Heart Demon took a look at the hexagram and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, you are really a lunatic."

Jing Xin Mo could not help but laugh. Since following Yuan Tiangang, this was the first time Jing Xin Mo had described other people as crazy. In his eyes, except for the old guy Yuan Tiangang, other people were not crazy enough. But now it seemed that his own prince was not much worse than his own commander-in-chief.

"Sir, the bad guys from Yunzhou are reporting!"

A bad guy quickly appeared in front of Mirror Heart Demon.

Mirror Heart Demon glanced at the secret report in the hands of the bad guy, holding the tortoise shell in his hand and said calmly: "Why did your highness take risks in Yunzhou? Didn't the information about An Yuanxin and Li Kexiu reach your highness in time? Are the bad guys in Yunzhou just eating and drinking?"

The bad guy bowed and said, "Your Excellency, the bad guys from Yunzhou replied that it was Your Highness who told them not to show up, and it was Your Highness who asked them to investigate the information about An Yuanxin and Li Kexiu in advance."

"what?"

Mirror Heart Demon raised his eyebrows and hurriedly took the secret report. At just one glance, Mirror Heart Demon understood the truth of the matter. All of this was arranged by His Highness himself.

"It seems that Your Highness was originally planning to go to Yunzhou to find An Yuanxin. It was part of Your Highness's plan to sharpen his sword with An Yuanxin."

"Yelü Abaoji was a surprise."

Mirror Heart Demon murmured, "Your Highness, Your Highness, you can't rush to reach the Tiangang position. Your cultivation speed is already fast enough. Without sufficient accumulation, with your current skills, it will be difficult to break through to the Tiangang position in one go, unless there is another great opportunity."

Jing Xinmo couldn't help but shook his head. His Highness had made great progress in cultivation over the past year. There was no need to be anxious. After all, he was still young.

"Don't worry, sir. His Highness has left Yunzhou safely and is now on his way to Jieliang, but..." The bad guy spoke hesitantly.

"But what?" asked the Mirror Heart Demon.

The bad man said, "But His Highness seems to be beating around the bush. His arrangements in Jie Liang are not yet complete, and the bad men along the way don't know what His Highness is going to do next."

"Hanba and Duan Chengtian went to understand Liang?" Mirror Heart Demon narrowed his eyes and said, "That is indeed a big project. It cannot be completed in a day or two. Hey, I suddenly want to watch fireworks."

Just as the Mirror Heart Demon sighed, another voice was heard.

"Report, sir, there is news from Tongwenguan."

A bad guy suddenly appeared in the Mirror Heart Demon Palace.

"Speak." Mirror Heart Demon frowned.

"Tongwenguan has completely blocked the border against Your Highness. Jin State has strictly guarded all major cities. In addition, the Wizard King Chi Li of the Ten Thousand Poison Cave has also appeared in the Jin Palace. It seems that the Wizard King and the Jin King have reached some kind of cooperation relationship. The seven people under the Wizard King have left Taiyuan yesterday. In addition, the Jin King claimed that he would deal with Your Highness personally."

"Investigate, find out what the cooperation between the Witch King and the King of Jin is all about."

"Chi Li of the Ten Thousand Poison Cave..." Jing Xin Mo's eyes were slightly cold, "This damn traitor dared to betray the Bad People. If it weren't for the power of the Bad People, how could the two brothers quickly gain a foothold in Raojiang and establish the Ten Thousand Poison Cave. He actually dared to betray the Marshal. Did he really think that a small Ten Thousand Poison Cave had the qualifications to oppose His Highness? He is really stupid."

"Haha, yes, the news of the Marshal's death has spread a long time ago. Chi Li, ah Chi Li, you are really amazing." Jing Xin Mo sneered, then waved his hand and said: "Your Highness will handle the affairs of Raojiang. We will go to see Li Ying, and we should also arrange for him in advance. Liang State will be within our grasp, and Jin State should also be in chaos."

"As for Li Keyong, an old man who refuses to die is a thief. You have lived long enough..." Jing Xinmo took out powder and touched up his makeup, so that his expression would always be hidden under the mask of this actor.

……

Li Ying's residence.

boom!
Snapped!
Bang!

Li Ying threw the exquisite porcelain pieces out of the room one by one, and then they fell to the ground and shattered into pieces. "Get out, all of you!"

Li Ying shouted with his hair disheveled. No doubt, he was somewhat stimulated by Li Xingyun's killing of An Yuanxin. He had been practicing with Li Xingyun for eight years, learning Li Xingyun's every move and imitating Li Xingyun's behavior and words. His cultivation was even personally instructed by Yuan Tiangang. But now, just one year after Li Xingyun entered the world, he had surpassed him by so much. How could Li Ying accept this? From his point of view, Yuan Tiangang must have left a huge opportunity for Li Xingyun.

"Haha, Bad Commander, this is how you treat me!"

Li Ying covered half of his face with a mad look on his face, laughing wildly:

"Whatever I have, Li Xingyun also has. Whatever I don't have, Li Xingyun also has. Hahahaha..."

"How ridiculous..."

At this moment, a figure appeared in front of Li Ying and said, "Your Highness, the Mirror Heart Demon wants to see you."

Li Ying, who had been crying and laughing, regained his composure in an instant. He looked at the bad guy in front of him and said calmly, "Let him in."

Li Ying pulled a chair and sat at the door with an expressionless face, holding a pot of wine.

"Your Highness."

Mirror Heart Demon appeared in front of Li Ying with lowered eyebrows and a pleasing look.

Li Ying poured himself a drink. "I know all the news. Why are you here? Do you regret it and want to join Li Xingyun?"

Not only was Li Ying's defense broken, but it was broken completely. He even lost his dignity and said such words directly.

But it was obvious that Jing Xin Mo didn't care about it. He smiled at Li Ying flatteringly and said, "Your Highness, you are overthinking. Li Xingyun is arrogant and dared to break into the heartland of Jin State alone. I think he is doomed this time."

"Humph! Li Xingyun killed An Yuanxin with his sword. His power has reached the level of Tian Gang. Who else in the world can kill him?" Li Ying snorted coldly and said unwillingly: "Now he can go anywhere in the world?"

The freedom that Li Ying longed for is now within Li Xingyun's reach, which makes Li Ying jealous and crazy!

Mirror Heart Demon laughed and said, "Don't worry, Your Highness. Li Xingyun has not actually broken through to the Tiangang level. He has only been practicing for a few years. How could he break through to the Tiangang level so quickly?"

Li Ying frowned upon hearing this and said, "Then how did he kill An Yuanxin from the Yunzhou Army? And he left safely. Even if he had the help of Corpse Ancestor, Li Xingyun killed An Yuanxin alone."

Mirror Heart Demon laughed and said, "It was just a short breakthrough relying on the fusion secret method. Now Li Xingyun must have fallen from the Tiangang position. This is what Jin Wang Li Keyong said personally. In addition, Li Keyong plans to personally deal with Li Xingyun. Your Highness, rest assured, Li Xingyun will not escape this time."

Upon hearing this, Li Ying sat up straight, looked at Jing Xin Mo seriously and asked, "Are you serious?"

The Mirror Heart Demon said with certainty: "Really!"

"That's good." Li Ying breathed a sigh of relief. As long as Li Xingyun was alive, he would not be able to sleep or eat well!

"There is one more thing that Your Highness must start preparing for." Mirror Heart Demon bowed and said, "If Li Keyong wants to personally deal with Li Xingyun, and the news of Li Xingyun's situation in Jin has spread all over the world, in order to not be at a disadvantage in the interests of justice, he will have to support you to become emperor."

Hearing the words of Jing Xin Mo, Li Ying was stunned. Become an emperor? Such a distant word, such a strange word.

Although he was just a puppet emperor, this was something that Li Ying had never dared to think about before.

Kill, kill Li Xingyun, and then kill Li Keyong!

At that time, he, the puppet emperor, will become the real emperor!
A hint of fiery color flashed in Li Ying's eyes.

Looking at Li Ying's fiery gaze, the Mirror Heart Demon couldn't help but reveal a hint of mockery. He smiled and bowed, saying, "Your Highness, Your Highness..."

"Oh, I see."

Li Ying suppressed the heat in her heart and replied calmly.

Mirror Heart Demon also smiled and said, "In that case, Your Highness should start to contact the people on the list and make plans for holding real power in the future."

Mirror Heart Demon took out a list from his sleeve and handed it to Li Ying. Li Ying almost spit out the wine in his mouth when he saw the first person's name on the list.

"The first person is Li Siyuan from the Tongwenguan? Li Keyong's adopted son?"

The Mirror Heart Demon laughed and said, "It is Li Siyuan!"

"Li Siyuan has always been obedient to Li Keyong. If we cooperate with him, we might as well seek death." Li Ying frowned after he finished speaking. After thinking for a while, he touched his chin and said, "You mean Li Siyuan wants to rebel against Li Keyong?"

The Mirror Heart Demon smiled and said, "Li Siyuan certainly doesn't dare to rebel against the King of Jin now, but if he has enough power, I believe he would not want to sell his life to the King of Jin all his life, be a son all his life, and end up with a fate of being abandoned after the rabbit dies and the dog is cooked, and the bow is hidden after the bird is dead. Now that Li Keyong has taken away his position as the Holy Master of the Tongwenguan, Your Highness, do you think Li Siyuan has any resentment in his heart?"

Li Ying touched his chin and said, "Of course there is. Li Siyuan has been the Holy Master of the Tongwenguan for so many years and has made great contributions. Now that he has stepped down, he must be angry. And Li Cunxu's power is growing stronger and stronger. Li Keyong is old. If Li Cunxu succeeds to the throne of King Jin, the first person to be dealt with is Li Siyuan, who is at odds with him. Whether for self-protection or ambition, Li Siyuan cannot sit and wait for death."

"Your Highness is wise." Mirror Heart Demon bowed and said, "But the mediation can only be controlled by Your Highness himself. It is not convenient for us to show up."

Li Ying waved her hand and said, "You don't need to tell me this, I naturally know it."

……

Raojiang, Twelve Caves.

When the Tang Dynasty was founded, the Twelve Caves originally trained in military skills to oppose the Tang Dynasty and counterattack the Central Plains. However, facing the military god Li Jing, the rebel king they cooperated with was defeated by the Tang army like a dead tree and rotten wood.

Afterwards, Li Chunfeng personally came to the Twelve Dongs to divine for them. The leaders of the Twelve Dongs saw from Li Chunfeng's divination that if they continued to act on their own will, the Twelve Dongs would be completely wiped out by the Tang Dynasty. After that, the Twelve Dongs gave up the Altar of the God of War and chose to live in seclusion in the depths of the Ten Thousand Mountains.

Since then, Twelve Caves has become a sacred place in Raojiang, a legendary existence, and its mysterious witchcraft was once compiled into stories and songs and spread throughout the Central Plains.

whoosh...

A black shadow quickly shuttled through the dense forest of Raojiang. He looked behind him from time to time, and did not see anyone chasing him, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

This man is tall and strong with handsome appearance. Upon closer inspection, he actually looks somewhat like the empress.

Several figures wearing black armor knelt on one knee in front of this person and bowed:

"Greetings, King Qi!"
