Li Hai's words were like thunder, and Yan Li's face was almost pale. He wanted to kowtow to explain, but he had Li Hai's sharp sword on his neck. A gust of cool wind came through the window, and the hair brushed against the blade of the sword, falling like snow one after another.
Fortunately, it was just hair, not blood.
"Your Majesty, my humble minister is loyal to you, how could he be with the rebellious party? I hope the Emperor will see clearly!"
Li Hai had been waiting for the news of Nie Lingzhen in the palace, but in the end the one who waited was that Nie Lingzhen disappeared, and the more than 1,000 imperial guards who went to the northwest corner gate with him also disappeared!
Li Hai was not only shocked by the dragon's heart, but also felt extremely humiliated! Even if the wind blows them away, there must be a sound! Could it be that Rong Chang'an will be able to turn them all into air at once? Could it be that his painstakingly managed and secretly trained imperial guards were really vulnerable in front of Rong Changan, and Rong Changan subdued them all without any effort
When Li Hai sat on the throne and heard that Nie Lingzhen was missing, he was furious and cut the case in front of him into two parts.
He hated Yan Li, if Yan Li hadn't vomited blood on purpose, then things wouldn't be what they are now!
"Yan Li, you dare to oppose me, I will tear you to pieces!"
So he led the remaining imperial guards to protect him and came to the prime minister's mansion, and it turned out that Yan Li was in the mansion.
"Loyalty?" Li Hai snorted, the corners of his mouth twitched, and there were ferocious and mocking lines around his mouth, "Then explain to me, why did you vomit blood? Is it really such a coincidence?"
Yan Li didn't dare to move a little bit, otherwise the sharp sword might create a scarlet scar on his neck.
"Your Majesty, I have never experienced such a scene before, so I drank two glasses of wine upstairs. I didn't expect that after drinking the wine, the cool wind blew and I vomited blood. It was really not me..."
"Shut up!" Li Hai growled and cut off Yan Li's words, "I won't believe you at all today! You have failed my good intentions. As long as you can succeed in this operation, I plan to send you You pushed to the position of the third man. But... "
Li Hai gritted his teeth, and he tightly grasped the hilt of the sword. He really had an urge to slide the sword from Yan Li's neck, and then there would be no more Yan Li in this world.
However, Li Hai didn't want to kill Yan Li yet. If Yan Li could betray him for Rong Chang'an, then Rong Chang'an would be desperate for him. He wants to use Yan Li as a hostage to protect himself from allowing Changan to retaliate against him; secondly, he wants to find out the whereabouts of Nie Lingzhen and others from Yan Li.
"Yan Li, where did you and Rong Changan hide Nie Lingzhen? Or did you kill Commander Nie?"
Yan Li really hadn't thought about this question. After he deliberately used his internal force to knock himself unconscious, he woke up and lay in the prime minister's mansion. As for where Nie Lingzhen was, he really didn't know.
Could it be that Rong Chang'an killed all the imperial guards at the northwest city gate? But why did she tell him that she didn't want to kill
"Yan Li, what can I ask you?" Li Hai pressed the sword down hard, a stream of warm bright red liquid flowed over the cold blue sword, and fell drop by drop on the ground, like plum petals falling. Average on the ground.
But Yan Li didn't say a word, even his determined eyes, his fair and handsome face, never gave the slightest hint that he felt pain.
Yan Li is such a person, even if Mount Tai collapsed in front of him, he would remain calm. This is also one of the reasons why Li Hai once admired him.
"I don't know." There was no slight fluctuation in the tone of his voice.
"I don't know?" Li Hai was angry, his eyebrows were erected, and his brows bulged like two opposing hills, "Could it be that they disappeared from the world?"
Yan Li said: "I fell into a coma after vomiting blood, and was sent here later. When I woke up, the doorman came in and told me, Your Majesty, you are here."
"Yan Li!" Li Hai took a step forward, the deeper the blade sank into the flesh, and the sound of tick-tock-tick-tock became more intense. Li Hai saw it, and the muscles on his face couldn't help twitching twice.
"I'll ask you again, where are my imperial guards? Where did they go? Did you and Rong Chang'an kill them all?"
Yan Li's Adam's apple turned around, and it was this Adam's apple that made him feel the pain, but he still faced Li Hai's cross-examination with the same tone and face that hadn't changed in the slightest: "I don't know Where did they go!"
With a cry, cold light flashed quickly on the sword, and the tip of the sword straightened its head like a poisonous snake about to attack; the flame of the candle danced on the sword, as if there was a bloodthirsty ghost hidden in the sword, as if it was about to attack. Cheering and jumping full of blood.
"Yan Li, I'll give you another chance. Tell me, where did Nie Lingzhen go?" Li Hai raised his sword high. Even if Li Hai didn't have martial arts skills, Yan Li's head would die if he chopped off the sword. A piece was chipped off.
"Yan Li is loyal and unswerving to the emperor and to the Great Jing Kingdom. He really doesn't know where Commander Nie of the Imperial Guard is going. I hope the emperor will find out!"
"you… "
Li Hai's sword froze in the air. He didn't want to kill Yan Li, but Yan Li forced him time and time again. Is it really difficult to tell Nie Lingzhen's whereabouts
If Yan Li is not killed, Li Hai will not be able to step down; if Yan Li is killed, Li Hai's situation will be even more dangerous. Without the hostages, Rong Changan would definitely launch a counterattack against Li Hai unscrupulously. There are not many people in the imperial city who can be loyal to Li Hai. What capital does he have to fight against Rong Changan
Yan Li tilted his neck, was he provoking him? Are you saying to him: Forgive me, Li Hai, you dare not kill me, Yan Li
The night was quiet, except for the sound of candles exploding.
"Your Majesty, please calm down the fury of thunder!" Eunuch Liu stepped forward and grabbed Li Hai's arm, which was slightly stiff due to exertion, "Whether the prime minister betrayed the emperor or not, it is always true that he vomited blood and fainted." Yes, you can’t deceive others. Since you fainted on the spot, you won’t know the whereabouts of Commander Nie, and Prime Minister Yan’s words are not unreasonable.”
Li Hai's scarlet eyes turned sharply: "Are you going to intercede for Yan Li?"
In fact, in his heart, he wished that Eunuch Liu would intercede for Yan Li, and he would accept it as soon as he saw it, and give himself a step down.
Eunuch Liu thought that Li Hai really wanted to kill Yan Li, so he was under tremendous pressure to intercede for Yan Li. The palm of his hand holding Fuchen was already dripping with sweat.
"Your Majesty, this old slave is not pleading for Prime Minister Yan, but for Dajing Kingdom. No matter what the prime minister is, he is always a talent. If he is killed before he finds the real evidence, it will not convince the public if it is spread. The country is also a loss. Why don't you detain Yan Cheng first, and wait until the investigation is clear, and then deal with it before it's too late."
