Views:

In the alley, Li Ye threw Li Maozhen on the ground. Seeing that there was no one around, he was slightly relieved. Wu You wanted to say something, but Li Ye gave her a silent gesture.

Soon, someone appeared from the other side of the alley. Upon closer inspection, it was Prince Pu Li Yan, followed by Tian Lingzi.

Wu You was surprised to find the other party, and looked into Li Ye's eyes, full of doubts.

"You'll know later." Li Ye said to Wu You, and walked up to Li Yan to bow his hands. The other party rushed over after hearing the news of him sending the jade slip.

"Brother Ye, what's going on?" Li Yan also looked at a loss when he came over.

When Li Yan received the news from Li Ye, it was Li Ye who realized that the followers were Li Maozhen and Wang Jian. When he was talking to them by the river, he secretly notified Li Yan to come over, but the situation was critical at that time. Li Ye didn't have time to tell him too much.

Li Ye kicked Li Maozhen: "Don't pretend to be dead, I know the weight of my punch, and I won't make you unconscious for so long."

Li Maozhen remained motionless.

Li Ye showed Lu Gujian.

The moment the sword energy was released, Li Maozhen got up in surprise, looked around, saw that she was surrounded, and waved her hands repeatedly: "There is something to say, there is something to say, hero, don't do it!"

"Who is this?" Li Yan looked at Li Maozhen and asked Li Ye.

"Song Wentong, commander of the Shence Army." Li Ye said calmly, "One of the assassins who assassinated me tonight has escaped."

"Shence Army?" Li Yan was taken aback.

Wu You's eyebrows and eyes are serious, showing murderous intent.

Li Maozhen stared, and looked at Li Ye in disbelief: "Do you know who I am? How do you know?!"

Li Yan's face darkened, and he stared at Li Maozhen unkindly. Anger appeared in his eyes, and his killing intent was obvious. He asked word by word: "Commander of the Shence Army, why did you assassinate King An? Who ordered you?!"

After finishing speaking, he turned around and asked Tian Lingzi, "Do you know this person?"

After Tian Lingzi worshiped Liu Xingshen as his adoptive father, he naturally served in the Shence Army. Because of Li Yan's relationship, his official position was not small. He was already the Marquis of Duyu, a few ranks higher than Li Maozhen.

Tian Lingzi glanced at Li Ye, feeling strange in his heart, wondering why Li Ye knew Li Maozhen, and said, "I've met you a few times."

When Li Maozhen saw Tian Lingzi walking out of the shadows, his face turned pale. He knew that his identity could no longer be hidden.

Li Ye said in a deep voice: "Song Wentong came to kill me, and the masters of the eighth level of Qi training echoed in secret. In the entire Shence Army, only the left and right lieutenants can mobilize such masters. That is to say, it is Liu Xingshen who wants to kill me. Make an appointment with Han Wen!"

Li Yan was shocked and said, "Why did they want to kill you?"

Li Ye made a gesture and thought about it: "Perhaps, it's because of my father!"

Li Yan was stunned, "How is this possible?"

Li Ye frowned and said, "Can you think of other possibilities?"

Li Yan was speechless.

Li Ye looked at Tian Lingzi: "This also shows that the Shence Army did participate in the Battle of Bagong Mountain that day, and contributed a lot!"

Tian Lingzi remained silent. He is the Marquis of the Shence Army and Liu Xingshen's adopted son. He has a different status and has access to many secrets. Even though there is no conclusive evidence for what happened that day, he must be aware of the clues. It's not difficult.

Li Yan said in surprise: "Doesn't this mean that Uncle was really killed?"

Li Ye said coldly: "Father's meritorious service is so high that he died because of the king's jealousy. This is not a rumor, but a fact. And under the circumstances of the day, to kill father, we must send out as many masters as possible. That is to say, the prime minister's followers, The masters of the Shence Army must contribute their strength. If not, how could my father not even be able to escape?"

Li Yan took two steps back and said in disbelief, "Brother Ye...you, how do you know this?"

Li Ye said in a deep voice: "I was in Huangli Township, and I met my father's former confidant!"

...

After a long silence, Li Ye looked at Li Yan and said slowly, "Now, it's time for Your Highness to make a choice!"

"What choice?" Li Yan asked.

Li Ye said: "Liu Xingshen sent people to assassinate me, which means that they have become suspicious of me, because they know that once I know the truth about Bagong Mountain, I will not be able to live in peace with them... Even if I think, they They won't believe it either. Therefore, they must get rid of me. And His Highness with my assistance will definitely not let Liu Xingshen and others rest assured!"

Li Yan smiled wryly: "In other words, I will also be abandoned by Liu Xingshen and the others now?"

Tian Lingzi's eyes flashed.

Li Ye pretended not to see it, just stared at Li Yan, and said in a deep voice: "If Your Highness is willing to draw a line with me, they may not give up on you. After all, you have been united for so long."

Li Yan looked at Li Ye with clear eyes, and shook his head: "If I join forces with them, wouldn't I want to deal with you? I can't do it!"

"Brother Yan..."

"Even if you don't become the prince, so what? Will life be impossible? I would rather not be the prince than betray my siblings!" Li Yan suddenly said loudly, with a sharp voice, showing that he had made up his mind.

...

There was another silence.

"In that case, I have a plan." Li Ye said to Li Yan.

"Plan?" Li Yan was startled.

Li Ye said: "A plan that will allow you to succeed!"

"Without the support of Liu Xingshen and Han Wenyue, would I still be able to succeed to the throne?" Li Yan asked in disbelief.

Li Ye nodded: "Without the support of Shence Army, it is impossible, but without the support of Liu Xingshen and Han Wenyue, it may not be impossible!"

Li Yan didn't know why.

Tian Lingzi's eyes became brighter.

Li Ye looked at Li Maozhen, his gaze was like an arrow, but he kept silent.

Li Maozhen was scared by Li Ye, took two steps back, and panicked: "What does King An want me to do?"

"Are you willing to be loyal to His Royal Highness Prince Pu, and to your future Majesty?" Li Ye asked word by word, and every word he said was as sharp as a sword drawn from its sheath.

Li Maozhen looked at Li Ye, then at Li Yan, and swallowed hard: "Your Highness, are you going to launch a palace change?"

"It's not about launching a palace change, it's about killing treacherous officials and supporting a new ruler!" Li Ye corrected, staring at Li Maozhen, "Now, tell me your choice."

Li Maozhen gritted her teeth, and suddenly bowed to Li Yan: "My minister Song Wentong, I swear allegiance to Your Majesty to the death!"

Li Yan was stunned.

Li Ye was not surprised, he knew that Li Maozhen would agree.

Li Maozhen had no choice.

Unless he wants to die.

After a while, Li Yan looked at Li Ye in astonishment, and his words were a little awkward: "Brother Ye, you... you really want to launch a palace change?!"

Wu You also looked at Li Ye with a complicated expression, doubts and apprehensions were written on her small face, but in her eyes, the attachment and support for Li Ye never changed.

"Your Majesty is seriously ill, and time is running out. You can talk about whether you can save trouble. At this time, if Brother Yan wants to ascend the throne, he must resolutely kill treacherous ministers!"

...

"What is King An's plan?" Tian Lingzi asked.

Li Ye said: "Now, Your Majesty is seriously ill. Liu Xingshen and Han Wenyue will not dare to leave Miyagi for half a step, so the plan is to close the door and beat dogs! Eunuch and Commander Song will work hard to control the Shence Army guarding the palace and let us go." People enter the palace, and outside His Majesty's bedroom, the treacherous ministers will be executed!"

Tian Lingzi said solemnly: "With our family and Commander Song alone, I'm afraid we may be alone."

"So it is necessary to win over a group of important generals of the Shence Army, supplemented by careful planning. After Wei Baoheng fell, Brother Yan is now the most powerful prince. It is not difficult at all to win over the generals of the Shence Army to be loyal to him." When Li Ye said this, his eyes were serious, "Brother Yan now not only has the power of the Shence Army, but also Wang Duo, Lu Yan and others, who will respond when necessary! The prestige is not what it used to be!"

Liu Xingshen and Han Wenyue have been sitting in the position of lieutenant of the Shence Army for too long. The old man does not give up his position, and it is difficult for the newcomer to stand out. This kind of hidden contradiction is usually invisible, but now Li Ye has given it to him. An opportunity broke out, so that the other generals of the Shence Army, under the temptation of Conglong Zhigong, had a great possibility to take refuge in Li Yan.

Tian Lingzi thought for a moment, then nodded: "King An is right!"

"We just need to ensure that on the day when the incident started, the Shence Army guarding the palace was ours. It's not difficult." Li Ye said.

"This matter needs to be concealed, and Liu Xingshen and Han Wenyue cannot be aware of it in advance." Li Ye drew the key point.

Tian Lingzi nodded in understanding.

Li Yan entered the role, his hands trembling with excitement: "How many masters do we have?"

Li Ye pondered and said: "Prince's disciples, Lu Gong's disciples, the two are directly descended from the Yuyi disciples, plus Prince Pu's Mansion and Prince An's Mansion, there are many masters."

Tian Lingzi said: "Although there are many masters, they are still not enough. Liu Xingshen and Han Wenyue are both masters of the nine levels of Dzogchen Qi training, and there are hidden existences with higher cultivation levels in Da Nei!"

"The cultivation level is higher? Could it be that he is a master of the real world?" Li Yan was shocked.

Tian Lingzi shook his head: "I don't know if it's a real person, but I have been walking in the palace these days, and I always feel that there is a powerful aura in the dark, and that coercion is higher than Liu Xingshen and Han Wenyue!"

Li Ye said in a deep voice: "As long as you are not a real person, you can give it a try... the masters in the palace may not necessarily be loyal to Liu Xingshen and Han Wenyue."

Tian Lingzi nodded: "We still have to try our best to win over the experts and make sure nothing goes wrong!"

Li Ye nodded and said, "Indeed."

Then he glanced at Li Yan and took a deep breath: "The night is long and the dream is full, within seven days, something must happen!"

...

"Commander Song, will you betray me?" Li Ye looked at Li Maozhen.

If Li Maozhen had just pretended to seek refuge at the moment, and reported to Liu Xingshen after returning, then Li Ye and others would die without a place to bury them.

It's not that Li Ye can't plant a restriction in Li Maozhen's body to control Li Maozhen's life and death, but if Li Maozhen finds Liu Xingshen and Han Wenyu... With the other party's cultivation level being much higher than Li Ye's, it is easy to break his restriction.

Li Maozhen's face turned pale, and she quickly swore: "The humble job will never betray King An!" He looked at Li Yan again: "And Your Majesty!"

Li Ye nodded: "Give me your blood."

Li Maozhen was terrified when she heard the words. She looked around at Li Yan and the others, and saw that everyone was staring at her. Knowing that she had no choice, she gritted her teeth and forced a drop of blood from her body.

Li Ye took Li Maozhen's blood essence and used it as a medium to make a contract.

In this way, as long as Li Maozhen has bad thoughts, Li Ye can immediately respond, and as long as Li Ye destroys Li Maozhen's blood essence, Li Maozhen's cultivation will be abolished.

After finishing all this, Li Ye stretched out a palm and hit Li Maozhen's shoulder, beating him until he vomited blood and flew backwards, then threw punches and swords around indiscriminately, quickly finished all these, and shouted to Li Yan and the others: "Let's go!"

Everyone followed without hesitation.

In a moment, the master of Shence Army who rescued Wang Jian before, chased here together with the servants of the Chang'an government office.

Seeing Li Maozhen vomit blood and fell to the ground, the master of the Shence Army showed joy and hurried over to help: "Commander Song? How are you?"

Li Maozhen covered her shoulders, gritted her teeth and said, "Fortunately, you came in time... After I was coerced by that man, I didn't give up my resistance. I first pretended to be unconscious, and then made a surprise attack... But this guy is too much." Tough, if you hadn't arrived in time, I would still die..."

"It's fine if you get away, but if you expose your identity, this matter will be troublesome!" The master of Shence Army was terrified.

"Don't worry, I didn't reveal my identity!"
