Standing outside the door is a man wearing a black cloak, with his head lowered, and the voice coming from behind the mask is rustling, like some kind of gravel: "Is the person solved?"
"Absolutely dead." Li Zhen nodded, "I watched with my own eyes? He drank a glass of wine, and then waited for a long time. He didn't breathe at all."
"That's good?" The man in black took out a sedan chair made of paper and blew on it. The paper gradually grew bigger and finally became a real sedan chair. Li Zhen's eyes widened in surprise, turning beans into soldiers and turning stones into gold, this is what the elder brother said about the fairy family method
The man in black took a step back and compared the sedan chair to Li Zhen. Li Zhen pointed at herself in disbelief: "Me?"
"Yes." The man in black said, "Princess Yi'an don't worry about boarding the sedan chair. Afterwards, the sedan chair will take you to King Wu's side."
Li Zhen received a letter from Li Xu, and now she saw the supernatural powers of the man in black with her own eyes. She no longer had any doubts, so she carried her skirt and boarded the sedan chair. She is a princess, even if she is imprisoned in the palace, she is not welcome, she is still an emperor, she never has to walk or wash her face by herself. She is used to using a sedan chair to travel, but this time before she got on the sedan chair, her figure paused.
She suddenly thought of the man in front of the hospital bed who supported her and took the medicine. He was tall and silent, with rough manners, but he did his best for her. Li Zhen couldn't help asking: "Then what should we do with this house?"
The man in black thought that Li Zhen was worried about Quan Da's body, and said: "Princess Yi'an, don't worry, I will refine that man's body with yin fire to ensure that no trace will be left. Afterwards, I will use a puppet to impersonate him. Gate, in the short term, the capital? Will not? Find something different here."
Li Zhen opened her mouth to say something, but in the end there was nothing? She opened the car curtain and went in. The person is already dead, so what's the point of talking more, just cut it off, and it's ugly if it's dragging.
After Li Zhen sat down, didn't she feel someone outside, the sedan chair suddenly floated in the air, and then, she quickly drove towards the northeast. Li Zhen was startled, and hurriedly supported the window. Through the swaying curtain, she realized that she was completely flying, relying only on a sedan chair made of paper, and it was in the air without a drive.
It was originally a very miraculous thing, but Li Zhen's heart skipped a beat, and she couldn't help but think of that tragedy many years ago.
Shuofang mutiny... Isn't it just that paper soldiers will become real people
The fireworks exploded in the sky, and the child who set off the firecrackers on the ground rubbed his eyes, pointed to the sky and said to his father, "Daddy, there are sedan chairs flying in the sky."
His father looked up, and the black and blue sky was like a monster with its mouth wide open, silent? Only the firecrackers left a little smoke trail on the horizon. The father patted his son on the head and said, "Don't talk nonsense. If you don't listen to me again, be careful that the monster will take you away!"
The child rubbed the back of his head and muttered dissatisfiedly: "I just saw it..."
The sky was extremely dark in winter, and Li Zhen flew high again. Except for the accident just now, no one noticed an empty sedan chair flying in the sky. The sedan chair looked vulnerable, but it moved very fast. Li Zhen squinted for a while in the sedan chair, and was awakened by the sudden landing.
Li Zhen opened the curtain in a daze, and when people outside saw her, they ran over in three steps or two steps: "Ah Zhen, is that you?"
Li Zhen suddenly became sober, she looked at the person coming, tears welling up: "Brother."
Li Zhen and Li Xu hugged each other, crying. When Emperor Gaozong was alive, the life of the two brothers and sisters was not good. Li Zhen was forced to shave her head. Li Xu was imprisoned in the Wu Palace and was not allowed to go out for life. They thought this was the worst, but they didn't expect that worse things were far behind.
The Empress of Heaven has actually ascended the throne, she can't even abolish her own son, let alone their concubine sons and daughters. Li Zhen was demoted again and again, but somehow she saved her life, but Li Xu almost entered the gate of hell.
The two brothers and sisters have suffered so much, it is really sad and painful to meet again now. Li Zhen was crying out of strength when she suddenly heard a cough from the side. Li Zhen was startled, and quickly raised her eyes to look, only to find a person standing in the shadows.
He was wearing a pure black cloak, standing in the corner without saying a word, almost blending into the darkness. If he hadn't taken the initiative to make a noise, Li Zhen would have never noticed anyone here.
The man in the cloak stood quietly, his voice was as deep and hoarse as that of the man just now: "King Wu, Princess Yi'an, the wall has ears, if you have anything to say, you might as well go inside and say it."
Li Xu seemed to listen to what the men in black said. As soon as the man in the cloak said it, he put away his tears and dragged Li Zhen into the room. The siblings haven't seen each other for nearly four years. After they sat down, they inevitably asked each other: "Brother, you? How have you been these years?"
Li Xu sighed, and said: "In the past two years, although I couldn't move freely, it was still stable. But since the twenty-fourth year of Yonghui, life has become more difficult day by day."
In the twenty-fourth year of Yonghui, Emperor Gao died of illness, and the world completely fell into the hands of the Queen of Heaven. The Queen of Heaven must take revenge. After she became emperor, she controlled Li Huai on the one hand, and on the other hand, she also had to prevent others from rebelling in Li Xu's name. Li Xu's life was more than difficult.
"She kept us under strict supervision day by day. In the end, she couldn't even go out of the palace. I have borne it to this extent, but I didn't expect her to be dissatisfied. In October, she sent me Poisoned wine."
Li Zhen covered her mouth in horror: "Poisoned wine? Brother, what about you..."
Li Xu sighed: "At that time, I thought my fate would be over. I was prepared to go underground to sue my father and grandfather. Unexpectedly, I met all the immortal masters. The immortal master rescued me and used A puppet drank the poisoned wine for me. Fortunately, the people in Dongdu didn’t notice any abnormalities, so they quickly packed up and left. After they left, the immortal master said that Shouzhou was not safe, so he brought me here.”
Li Zhen fell asleep when she was in the sedan chair just now. She didn't pay attention to the route, but it was not difficult to guess where this was after breathing the damp and cold air and the exquisite gardens around her.
It should be a certain city in the south of the Yangtze River, but Li Zhen couldn't recognize where it was.
When Li Zhen heard that her elder brother was rescued by the immortal master, she felt relieved, and instinctively asked: "Brother, what about sister-in-law?"
Li Xu paused, but didn't answer. Li Zhen looked at the silent elder brother, and quickly thought of Quan Da, and gradually understood.
Li Xu saw that his younger sister had guessed it, and said heavily, "You? Sister-in-law... hasn't escaped."
Li Zhen opened her eyes wide, and at that moment she wanted to ask, was it really Princess Wu? Did she escape? The immortal master could save Li Xu, and seeing how they transferred her tonight, they acted with ease, so why couldn't they save one more person
Maybe it's because the immortal master doesn't want to, or maybe it's because Li Xu doesn't want to take risks. Mixing half of the real and the fake is the best cover. If both of them are fake, it's easy to be discovered. At that time, Li Xu will also follow? Die.
Li Xu didn't want to mention Princess Wu again. Although she is a princess, she hasn't had a good few days. She has spent a long life in confinement with him, and they have been dependent on each other for many years. Unexpectedly, she died for him in the end.
Li Xu asked his sister: "Ah Zhen, what about you? I was confined by that vicious woman back then, and I couldn't take you away. You have been wronged in Dongdu all these years, right?"
Li Zhen was silent, she thought about it seriously, and found that apart from not being able to move freely and looking in the mirror every day would hurt her self-esteem, she didn't seem to suffer much in Dongdu. Even when she was exiled, she was lying on the bed and being taken care of by others.
Li Zhen whispered, "I'm alright?"
Li Xu was still very angry, and said: "You? The dignified princess, the noble golden branch and jade leaf, was accused of being handed over to a gate guard. It is simply unreasonable! Where is that person?"
"He's already dead." Li Zhen lowered his eyes, and his voice was so soft that he couldn't hear him, "I persuaded him, but he was devoted to the Wu family, and he also advised me to live in poverty and be self-reliant, and not to speak ill of the Wu family. I have no choice but to poison him to death with the immortal master's wine."
When Li Xu heard that Quan Da was dead, he felt bad. He firmly held Li Zhen's hand, and said: "A reckless man, death is not a pity. Originally, with his aptitude, he is not worthy to even carry your shoes in this life. If it weren't for Wu's viciousness, how could it be his turn?" Princess Shang? Ah Zhen, you? Don’t worry, my brother will personally take care of you in the next marriage, and I must pick a perfect son from a family.”
Li Zhen finally cheered up when she heard Li Xu talking about the young master of the family. Yes, after all, she is just a reckless man. She is a princess. As long as her elder brother is powerful, there will be plenty of men in the world who will treat her well. If the elder brother has no power, she is a majestic imperial daughter, can she still count on the favor of a man for the rest of her life
Li Zhen grew up in the deep palace, and she knows how dazzling and heart-wrenching that position is. Back then when the Wu family held great power, just one look could make everyone in the palace turn a blind eye to Li Zhen. Li Zhen hates the Wu family, but wants to be the Wu family even more.
Quan Da advised her to be contented and happy, and a little rich will be at peace, huh, have you ever eaten delicacies from mountains and seas, so you can eat chaff and swallow vegetables day after day; Have you ever seen the pinnacle of imperial power, so can you say it? It is plain and true. But Li Zhen has seen it before, she knows how omnipotent power is, she would rather die fighting for power, than live like a vulgar woman, counting copper coins all her life.
Li Zhen said: "Brother, there is no need to rush the marriage. You should do the big things first."
Li Xu thought that Li Zhen felt guilty for Quan Da, so he immediately said: "How can I do that! You? You got married too late, and in a few years, you? You're already old..."
"Brother." Li Zhen stopped Li Xu's words and said, "Now you? Although you have deceived the Wu family, that woman is suspicious, you? The news of the fake death will not be hidden from her for long. Our top priority is to quickly recruit strength and return to Tang Dynasty. Waiting for you? The power is in my hands, I can choose any man in the world, does anyone dare to care about my age?"
"well said?."
Both Li Zhen and Li Xu were startled, and stood up one after another. However, the men in black on both sides seemed to be more reactive. They hurriedly stood up and bowed in the direction of the door: "My lord, why are you here?"
The visitor was covered in a wide cloak, with a silver mask on his face. Although it was both black, this man's cloak was obviously much more luxurious. It was cut very carefully, and the edges were embroidered with delicate dark patterns. He walked into the house slowly, his manner was smooth and smooth, although he couldn't see his face, it was not difficult to guess that behind the mask must be a very handsome face.
After the visitor entered the room, he gently raised his hand, and the men in black on both sides dared to straighten up. Someone hurriedly went to blow the lamp in the corner of the room, but someone stopped him: "No need, I can bear this little light."
Li Xu and Li Zhen felt that the visitor was unusual from the reactions of the people around them. As princes and princesses, they felt a little uncomfortable facing the visitor.
Li Xu came two months earlier than Li Zhen, these days he lives in this other courtyard, except that he cannot go out, he has no other discomfort. Li Xu met several men in black back and forth, but this was the first time he saw this man.
It looks like this is their leader.
Li Xu asked: "I don't know who you are? Is it you? Did you save our brothers and sisters?"
"Don't dare to do it, just try my best." The visitor sat down under the service of many men in black, with black wide sleeves quietly draped on his knees, and his every move was extravagant, "My surname is Qin. ? President."
Li Xu thought about it in his heart, surnamed Qin? It seems that no one heard or said that any prominent family believed in Qin. Maybe this is his excuse, didn't Li Xu? He didn't care, he cupped his hands and said, "Master Qin."
Li Xu wanted to make a connection, so he deliberately used a polite address, but in fact he called him right by mistake. In ancient times, only sons of feudal lords could be called sons. Later, this honorific title was generalized, and folks can also respect each other as sons.
When Qin Wei heard this title, the corners of his lips curled slightly. Young Master Qin... I haven't heard of this title for a long time.
Qin Wei compared hands and said to Li Xu and Li Zhen: "King Wu, Princess Yi'an, please sit down."
Li Zhen immediately noticed that his palms were extremely beautiful, as if he hadn't seen the sun for a long time, his skin was cold and pale, with no blood, exquisite and perfect like jade carvings. His voice is also very good? Hearing?, his tone of voice is not fast or slow, and he speaks with three smiles, which makes people feel close to him just by listening to it.
It turns out that there is really someone who can be judged as a handsome man just by hearing his voice.
When Li Zhen was distracted, Qin Wei had already talked about foreign affairs with Li Xu. The biggest thing in the imperial court is that the heroine dominates the world. Li Xu was so angry that he kept scolding Wu's rooster Sichen.
In contrast, Qin Wei is much more elegant and calm. He waited for Li Xu to vent his anger before cutting off his words leisurely: "What is King Wu's intention to usurp the throne?"
"Naturally, recruit troops and buy horses, attack Luoyang, side the Qing emperor, and restore Li Tang Jiangshan."
Qin Wei nodded slightly, and asked: "It's not difficult for Qing Jun, but who is the Jun?"
Both Li Zhen and Li Xu fell silent. After a while, Li Xu said: "Of course it is the crown prince Li Huai. He is the crown prince conferred by his father and the emperor himself, and he also ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor in the first year of Jingming. He is the real emperor."
After Li Xu finished speaking, for some reason, he looked at Qin Wei nervously. Qin Wei's face disappeared? Behind the mask, he didn't say anything for a long time, and suddenly smiled softly: "The deer lost its wild, and the heroes chased it. I thought that King Wu was a hero."
Li Xu couldn't help holding his breath, and asked, "You? What do you mean?"
"Although Li Huai, the king of Zhao, is a direct descendant, the throne was lost from him. How can he take the throne again? What's more, Empress Wu is his mother after all. I heard that King Zhao was afraid of his mother since he was a child. Entering the court to support King Zhao's restoration, Empress Wu scolded him, and King Zhao was so frightened that he admitted his mistake. How can such a person be expected to restore the Li family?"
"you mean… "
"In terms of ranking, King Wu is the elder. Since ancient times, elders have been respected. The elder brother is still there. How can there be other brothers? In terms of origin, King Wu is a descendant of the Xiao family in Lanling, and his blood is far more noble than the Wu family. In terms of talent , King Wu bears the burden of humiliation, kills decisively, and is far stronger than King Zhao who is weak and fearful of his mother. From the perspective of external conditions, King Wu is staying safely in Yangzhou at the moment. He only needs to raise his arms and all the heroes in the world will respond, but King Zhao is trapped In the East Palace, every move is restrained. No matter how you say it, King Wu is the leader of the dragons, which is a move in accordance with the times and trends."
Of course Li Xu didn't want to fight hard and end up supporting Li Huai as emperor, but he was not a prince, so his reputation was not justified after all. But after hearing Qin Wei's words, Li Xu became erratic, as if he was really the only one to set things right.
Li Zhen noticed a detail: "Is this Yangzhou?"
"Yes? That's right." When facing women, the eldest son of Qin always seemed to be smiling gently, like a spring breeze, "If Princess Yi'an likes the scenery of Yangzhou, I would like to accompany the princess to see it in the future."
Li Zhen had a good impression of this person in front of her, and asked, "Do you still have a business in Yangzhou?"
I only saw a part of it in the dark, but I can feel that the size of the yard is not small. What is the origin of this eldest son of Qin? He has supernatural powers, his eyes and hands are open to the sky, and he seems to be rich beyond compare.
Qin Wei smiled lightly: "Of course."
Although Li Zhen wanted to find out Qin Wei's background, she knew that she had sneaked out from under the empress, and it was not appropriate to show her face for the time being, so she smiled and did not respond. Qin Wei is very comfortable among women. He said that these are just habitual politeness, but in fact he doesn't want to accompany her.
A mere princess is not worth his time.
Li Xu has already been moved by Qin Wei's words, but he is from the royal family after all, so he knows that he can't reveal his truth in front of others early. Li Xu deliberately said vaguely: "After all, the Wu family is my aunt's mother, and she would be suspected of rebelling if she raised an army. Now that our brothers and sisters have narrowly escaped death, no disease, no horse, why does Mr. Qin dare to speak of rebellion?"
A light laughter came from behind the silver mask, Qin Wei clapped his hands, and the man in black who was guarding behind Qin Wei like a statue stepped forward, waved his hand, and a few pieces of paper fell to the ground, instantly becoming a man in armor and spear. samurai. They held the weapons motionless, but their eyebrows, beard and hair were like living people.
Li Xu knew that Qin Wei was unfathomable, but he was still frightened by his supernatural powers. Li Xu frowned, and asked hesitantly: "This seems to be very similar to Shuofang's Change..."
"Fifteen years ago, someone under my sect rebelled, stole my talisman paper, and learned manipulative skills. Later, I sent someone to clean up the sect, and nothing similar happened since then." Qin Wei He didn't seem to say anything, but when Li Xu heard it, he showed a clear look.
It turned out that someone stole Qin Wei's things and went to Shuofang to make trouble. No wonder the Yao Dao suddenly disappeared, didn't you? I didn't expect Qin Wei to clean up the door.
Li Xu believed it easily, and he said: "Master Qin doesn't know something. I have a royal sister who is very good at the art of monsters and profound ways. These paper soldiers look majestic, but they are made of paper after all..."
Qin Wei laughed when he heard the first half of the sentence: "Wu Wang is referring to Princess Sheng Yuan?"
Li Xu was surprised: "You? How do you know?"
"Princess Sheng Yuan is famous, and I have been fascinated for a long time." Qin Wei said with a smile in his tone, "I have long wanted to ask Princess Sheng Yuan for advice. Don't worry, King Wu, there is only one Princess Sheng Yuan, but in my hand But there are thousands of soldiers on the talisman paper. The ones that were shown to the King of Wu just now are only the lowest level warriors."
Li Xu was relieved, Qin Wei was right, no matter how capable Li Chaoge was, he couldn't fight an army by himself. Now, with only the last scruple left, Li Xu stared closely at the eyes behind Qin Wei's mask, and asked, "Since Mr. Qin has such supernatural powers, why doesn't he proclaim himself king, but helps me?"
Qin Wei smiled lowly. Even Li Xu, a man, thinks his voice is extremely sexy and gorgeous: "All I want is to ask the immortals, and I don't care about the world. Speaking of which, I have one more thing to ask, and I will ask you later." Sun Wu Wang Yuyu, can you make me a national teacher and help me become a fairy as soon as possible."
Li Xu wouldn't believe Qin Wei if he said that he was not capable enough, loyal to the country, etc., but when he said that he was asking for immortality, Li Xu was relieved all of a sudden. Li Xu was obviously relieved, with a smile on his face: "Master Qin has great powers, and he will be able to prove the way soon. I wish us a happy cooperation."
Qin Wei just nodded and smiled at this: "It's a happy cooperation."
The man in black stepped forward quietly and reminded: "My lord, it's time to go."
Qin Wei stood up, and his long cloak swept across the ground like a dark river. Qin Wei signaled slightly to Li Xu and Li Zhen, and said, "It's getting late, I'm going back. King Wu, Princess Yi'an, see you later."
Li Xu stood up and sent Qin Wei out. Li Zhen took a step behind and followed behind his elder brother. When they walked to the door, Li Xu suddenly said: "We are about to make a big event together, and our wealth and life are all tied to a rope. With such an important relationship, why is Mr. Qin still unwilling to show his true colors?"
Qin Wei had been doing well just now, when he heard this, he raised his hand and touched the silver mask. Li Zhen felt inexplicably that all his actions tonight were planned? Only this action was his instinct.
Qin Wei recovered immediately, and said with a slight smile, "It's ugly, isn't it good? Show it to others. Please forgive me, King Wu and Princess."
Li Xu has something to ask for, and the other party refuses to take off his mask, so he can't force it. Li Xu smiled, found a step for himself, and passed vaguely. Before Qin Wei left, seeing Li Zhen's gaze, he couldn't help laughing and asked, "Why does the princess look at me like this?"
Although they are a cooperative relationship, but the younger sister has been staring? The other party is too rude. Li Xu was embarrassed, and was about to say something, when he heard Li Zhen hesitantly say: "I didn't mean to offend, but I really feel that I have met you somewhere."
It was really a standard start to strike up a conversation, Li Xu became more and more embarrassed, and hurriedly sent Li Zhen away. Li Xu explained beside Qin Wei. Qin Wei listened with a smile, nodding his head from time to time, but kept his eyes on the place where Li Zhen was standing just now.
Do you find him familiar? Naturally, it should be familiar.
·
It was almost dawn, Qin Wei kept in touch with his subordinates, and then quickly left the other courtyard. After returning to the bottomless imperial mausoleum, Qin Wei and the guards at the back all breathed a sigh of relief.
The attendant asked puzzledly: "My lord, it's not difficult to bring one more person. Why did you let them kill their partner?"
Qin Wei took off the mask and wiped his hands leisurely. Under the mask is a handsome, delicate and perfect face. Qin Wei walked up to the throne, and said casually: "Listen? It is said that those who seek immortality in ancient times must kill their husbands and wives in order to prove the strength of their hearts. If they can't even kill the people next to them , I don’t have any need to save them.”
The attendant half-understood, Qin Wei picked up a roll of portraits, and glanced lightly over the woman on it: "Besides, I have the handle in my hands, so I can control it."
