Chapter 65 The world is like a chessboard, and I’m in the middle of it!
Apart from Li Xingyun, there was only one person who could make the Holy Master of Tongwenguan Li Siyuan so respectful, and that was Prince of Jin, Li Keyong!

Li Keyong, the third son of Li Guochang, became famous at a young age. He was an expert in archery and always charged at the front in the army. He was called Li Yaer and Feihuzi by the soldiers.

Li Keyong and his father Li Guochang once led the Shatuo tribe to rebel against the Tang Dynasty, but were defeated and fled north. However, he got a chance to turn things around with Huang Chao's rebellion and was recalled by Emperor Xizong to regain control of the Shatuo tribe. In the second year of Zhonghe, Li Keyong defeated Huang Chao's army. In the fourth year of Zhonghe, Li Keyong defeated Huang Chao, but he almost died when he attended Zhu Wen's Hongmen Banquet. Later, the Tang court stepped in to quell the war between the two vassal kings, and Li Keyong was named Prince of Longxi for his military merit in defeating Huang Chao.

Li Keyong became famous at a young age, experienced endless fighting in the army, and survived the fall of the Tang Dynasty, becoming the overlord of Hedong. Although such a Li Keyong has gradually moved behind the scenes of Jin State due to his age, even so, no one in the world dares to despise the lord of Jin State.

Whoosh!
Li Keyong sucked the secret letter into his hand, then squinted his eyes as he looked at the contents of the secret letter. "Li Xingyun killed Zhu Wen. Was it really Li Xingyun who did it? What about the thunder that descended on the world? What happened in Luoyang that day?"

Li Keyong didn't believe that a thunderbolt from heaven would come to help Li Xingyun kill Zhu Wen. To a veteran on the battlefield like him, such talk was nothing but nonsense.

At this time, Li Siyuan also chuckled and said, "Father is wise. Li Xingyun naturally doesn't have the ability to kill Zhu Wen and Emperor Ming, but Zhang Xuanling and Buliang Shuai do."

Li Keyong frowned, and then murmured: "Zhang Xuanling, the old man from the Tianshi Mansion in Longhu Mountain, was missing? How come he appeared again? And this Bad Leader... Bad Man... Humph, he is just struggling to survive."

Perhaps other young generations do not understand the Bad People, but Li Keyong still has some knowledge. He witnessed the most declining Tang court in the late Tang Dynasty. Of course, he also knows very well that even the Bad People are powerless in the face of the war that swept the whole world. The Bad Commander, haha, what can he do?

Li Siyuan bowed slightly and said, "We have accurate intelligence from Chaoyuan Hall. Li Xingyun used Zhang Xuanling's Five Thunders Heavenly Heart Art to create the illusion of thunder descending from the sky. Zhu Wen had already been poisoned and was unable to fight anymore, so he was killed by Li Xingyun."

"But..." Li Siyuan paused, as if he remembered something terrifying, and his expression became a little ugly.

"But what?" Li Keyong glanced at Li Siyuan coldly. Li Siyuan shivered with fear and said immediately: "But the Dark Emperor was indeed killed by the Bad Commander. It is said that the Bad Commander killed him very easily."

"Very easy?" Li Keyong narrowed his eyes and repeated these three words, as if he was thinking about how many moves he would need to kill the Hades...

Li Siyuan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw his adoptive father's expression. He was indeed shocked after receiving the news from Zhang Quanyi. How powerful was the Hades? He was a great master who became famous at a young age. His strength should have reached the late stage of the great master now. There were not many masters of such strength in the world. However, he was easily killed by the Bad Leader in the base camp of the Xuanming Sect. One can imagine how terrifying the Bad Leader was!

"Hmph, that Bad Commander does have some skills, but the world is like a chess game, and everything is in my control. What can he do alone?" Li Keyong snorted. He was still very confident in his Supreme Saint Qiankun Gong which had already reached the realm of perfection. After all, if he made a move, the Hades Emperor of the Great Heavenly Realm would not be able to hold out for a few rounds.

"Yes, yes, with my adoptive father's strength, how can that Bad Commander compare to him? He's just a rat hiding in a dark corner. He didn't even dare to show his face when my adoptive father was fighting on the battlefield!" Li Siyuan hurriedly stepped forward and said flatteringly, not noticing the indifferent expression in Li Keyong's eyes. After all, Li Siyuan was only an adopted son. Although Li Keyong believed in Li Siyuan's ability, he would never believe in Li Siyuan's loyalty. In this world, it is normal for an adopted son to kill his father.

Li Keyong waved his hand calmly and said: "There is no need to say more nonsense about this. Let's get ready and send troops. The reputation of the descendants of Li Tang should not be wasted. We should seize the righteousness and the right time, and it will be our Jin State that will annex Zhu Liang!" Li Siyuan's eyes lit up when he heard this. It was time to send troops. Although he was the saint of Tongwenguan, his ability was still in fighting. Even if he was not as good as Li Cunxu in terms of brilliant strategies, he was still one of the best warriors in the world.

"All military power will be handed over to Cunxu, who will be in charge of this war." After Li Keyong finished speaking, the wheelchair under him slowly moved towards the room. Li Siyuan was stunned for a moment and then immediately saluted and said, "Yes, foster father!"

However, Li Siyuan, who seemed respectful on the surface, was full of resentment. He had also fought for Li Keyong for many years. Although he was not his biological son, he was not much different from his biological son. He did not expect that Li Keyong would still be so defensive against him! This made Li Siyuan feel cold in his heart. If Li Cunxu, who had always been at odds with him, inherited the throne of King Jin in the future, he could imagine his fate with his toes!
"Humph, if you are unkind, don't blame me for being unjust..."

Li Siyuan snorted in his heart. He had been humble for so many years, not to be a stepping stone for Li Cunxu!

Chang'an, the valley where soldiers are hidden!

Ga! Ga!
A Saker Falcon landed on the arrow tower of the Soldier Valley while chirping. A bad guy took the information tied to its claws and immediately turned over and jumped down.

"Marshal, there is news from His Highness."

Li Mang handed the information to Yuan Tiangang's desk. Yuan Tiangang, who was sipping tea from a pot alone, glanced at the contents of the secret letter, then snorted and said with a smile: "Your Highness really doesn't even pretend now. Go and find Duan Chengtian!"

Li Xingyun first went to Taiyuan to meet Zhang Chengye, and then sent someone to specifically ask Duan Chengtian to go to Jieliang to make arrangements. This was as clear as a card in Yuan Tiangang's eyes. Sure enough, His Highness had already known the secret of the Longquan treasure. Yuan Tiangang sighed, "Your Highness, Your Highness, are you reborn, or are you dreaming for a thousand years? I haven't felt curious about anyone for a long time..."

"Marshal!" The fat man Duan Chengtian appeared in front of Yuan Tiangang.

Yuan Tiangang used his inner strength to send the dangling secret letter into Duan Chengtian's hands. "Look for yourself. His Highness seems to trust you very much. Don't let His Highness down. Your arrangement in Jieliang will be of great use in the future."

Duan Chengtian glanced at the secret letter and nodded immediately, "I understand, Marshal. I will lead the people to set off right away!"

After Duan Chengtian left, Sanqianyuan appeared in the pavilion. "General." Sanqianyuan bowed and said, "Secret letters from all over the country have been delivered. There is news from Jing Xinmo that someone doesn't want to play this game according to the general's idea."

Yuan Tiangang raised his teacup and laughed, "Outside the chessboard, inside the world, but the world is on my chessboard. Can you jump out?"
