The emperor's deliberate neglect of Long Zhenyun's matter quickly turned into a "little episode", and everyone wisely stopped pursuing Li Chengfeng's true identity.
Although when someone poked a hole in this layer of window screen paper, everyone could roughly guess what was hidden behind the window paper, but everyone maintained a tacit understanding for the time being, and no one took the initiative to untie this layer of paper. Layers of screen paper.
But everyone here knows very well that if someone reveals it again in the future, they will definitely not handle it as lightly as now. There will be turbulent times and stormy seas!
Soon, the struggle in the court entered the next stage. The officials of the four princes' party found that they could no longer stop the officials of the prince's family from opening an investigation into the leakage of the prince's whereabouts. So they retreated to the next best thing and began to fight for this. The position of presiding officer of the case is used to compete for dominance.
Suddenly there was smoke everywhere in the court, and even the deputy prime minister rolled up his arms and sleeves and went into battle shirtless.
But at this stage, it had nothing to do with Li Chengfeng. He stepped aside and watched the two groups fighting in the court from the other side.
There are no secrets in the court.
Among the small yellow gates, chambermaids, maids, and guards in the main hall, some of them are the queen's people, some are the prince's people, some are the fourth prince's people, and some are the emperor's people. They are all kinds of people, each with their own master. What happened in the court? Word spread quickly.
When the fourth prince learned the news immediately, he was first surprised and then delighted.
"Okay, I wonder why this bastard is so arrogant! It turns out he is no ordinary person!" The fourth prince played with the snuff bottle in his hand. He took a deep sniff, his sinuses twitched, and a blue light flashed across the veins on his nose. And passed.
In his Pavilion of Heroes, there were eight monks sitting. Among them, there was a man sitting at the top on the right. His appearance was so monstrous that it was not human-like. He had blue eyes, fair skin, deep eyes, a high nose, and golden hair. He was actually a He is from China, but the most outrageous thing is that he is wearing a monk's robe, and there is a big cloth bag standing next to his back. The bag is rectangular, about two meters high, about half a foot wide, and about an inch thick. No one can guess. Without knowing what it was, one could only guess that it was his portable magic weapon.
Da Qi and the Puppet State have been at war for hundreds of years. Both countries are behemoths with unfathomable strength. At the earliest, the Puppet State defeated Da Qi, but then Da Qi strengthened its troops. During Taizong's second southern expedition, Da Qi contacted the Dijon Kingdom and defeated the Puppet Kingdom, capturing many dark-eyed, tall-nosed, blond and blue-eyed Puppet Kingdom people as well as a large number of Puppet Kingdom's destroyed government puppets.
From then on, people from the Puppet Kingdom began to appear in the land of Daqi as captive slaves, and the puppets of the Puppet Kingdom also began to be slowly used in Daqi.
However, after the death of Emperor Taizong, his successor Qi Wuzong launched the third southern expedition with the intention of destroying the puppet country. However, when Qi Wuzong and the allied Dijon Kingdom were preparing to launch a annihilation offensive against the puppet country, the third However, the Rong Kingdom suddenly rebelled and launched a fierce attack on the waist and abdomen of Da Da. A large number of practitioners were caught off guard and died, while the Puppet Kingdom took advantage of the situation and launched a fierce attack.
Qi Wuzong's 500,000-strong army was wiped out in one battle, and all the previously annexed territory of the Puppet Kingdom was lost. Although Qi Mingzong fought desperately to get it back under the protection of the Yulin Blood Guards, he died of vomiting blood in Shenjing half a year later. .
It was precisely because of this battle that Da Qi changed from strategic expansion to strategic defense. From then on, the world became a tripartite situation between Da Qi, the Puppet State, and the Dijon State.
Among them, Daqi is located in the north-central part of the continent, with an area of 20 million. The Puppet Kingdom is located in the southeast and central part of the continent, with an area of 9 million. The Dijon Kingdom is the smallest, with an area of 3 million. It is located in the southwest of the continent, in a corner. Because Dijon's people are fierce, all the people are soldiers, and they have unique combat power and tactics, even Daqi would not dare to provoke them easily.
After this war, many practitioners in Daqi were captured, and many sects' practices were transferred to the Kingdom of Puppet and Dijon. However, due to the special physical constitution of the people in Dijon and Puppet Kingdom, most of the citizens were unable to practice magic, so Whether they are from the Dijon Kingdom or the Puppet Kingdom, those who can practice magic are very rare.
Not to mention, people from the country who can cultivate to the top level of great cultivators.
This demonic cultivator with lustful eyes stretched his hand to the side. Next to him, a puppet with only an upper body and a round ball on the lower body rolled forward and handed him a cup of hot tea.
The upper body of this puppet is no different from that of an ordinary person, except that the arms are mechanical machines, and the abdominal cavity is connected to the sphere. There is a connecting part in the middle so that when the lower body of the sphere rolls, the upper body can maintain an upright balance.
But the strange thing is that this puppet wears a mask on its face. The mask is a grinning smiling doll, with two dots of carmine on its cheeks, but its face is very pale, which is weird and oozing.
The people next to me felt cold on their backs after just one glance.
The Se-eyed cultivator took a sip of tea, frowned slightly, turned to look at the machine puppet next to him, and said with a smile: "The tea is too hot. This Yuqian Yuchun tea needs to be boiled with Longshan snow water in a small pot and low fire for a moment. Zhong Fang is the best, but you took too long and actually boiled the water!"
After that, he poured the cup of tea down the gap in the neck of the machine puppet. For a moment, everyone heard the machine puppet tremble violently and make a low hissing sound. The sound was like a person closing his eyes. The pitiful screams coming out of the mouth sounded horrifying.
This Semu cultivator speaks very well in Daqi Mandarin. Although he looks different, his words and deeds are obviously no different from those of Daqi people. It's just that his behavior has attracted the attention of other cultivators in the hall. They couldn't help but look sideways, with a hint of fear and contempt in their eyes.
The fourth prince also felt a chill as he looked at it. He couldn't help coughing dryly and said, "I have changed my mind. This time, what I want is not Li Chengfeng's head. I want him to show his true colors!"
As he spoke, he bowed to the lewd puppet countryman and said respectfully: "I'm afraid I'll have to trouble the puppet master to take action this time!"
The lusty-eyed Puppet Man named Puppet Master said slowly: "Oh? Your Highness is serious? But some people are dissatisfied..."
The fourth prince's expression changed and he said: "Master Puppet is joking. This operation is secretive and should not be publicized. Although the other masters are extraordinary in strength, they are not suitable for this operation, so..."
"Your Highness, why do you underestimate the people of the country and praise the untouchables?" A rough voice next to him immediately interrupted the fourth prince.
The fourth prince frowned and turned around to see that it was the monk who had volunteered to fight on behalf of Sword Shura. He said, "Hua Zhenren, there is no distinction between high and low here. All of you here are our distinguished guests!"
The monk named Hua Zhenren sneered: "The scoundrels from the Puppet Kingdom are scoundrels everywhere! Don't think that just because you wear the crown of a monkey, you can become a human being! I'm afraid your highness has been deceived by this untouchable!"
The face of the real puppet was as usual, and he looked at the real person with a smile. He said nothing, as if he had long been accustomed to such discrimination.
The fourth prince looked hesitant and said, "Hua Zhenren, are you sure that you can capture this Li Chengfeng and reveal his true colors without alarming the world?"
The painting master laughed loudly, stood up and said: "In terms of fighting skills, I dare not say that I am the first, but in terms of the ability to kill people without making a sound, I am the second in the world, and no one dares to say that I am the first. one!"
