In a blink of an eye, half a month has passed since the Third Prince was assassinated by the Shadow Hall. It was a peaceful half-month.

On this day, the three princes were in the courtyard of Chang'an-

"Third prince, it's not good, Your Majesty is above the court, vomiting blood, fainting!" a eunuch in the palace knelt in front of the third prince Li Zhi and said.

"What? what did you say?" asked the third prince, Li Zhi, who stood up from his chair at once.

"Come into the palace and meet Your Majesty! The crown prince and the second prince have already arrived!" the eunuch said in fear.

"Prepare the car, enter the palace!"

Li Zhi entered the palace non-stop, and the crown prince and the second prince Li Tai had already arrived.

"Father, the emperor is late. "The three princes knelt in front of the bed, and there was such a prince, and the two princes knelt.

Li Shimin lay dying on the bed.

"Hmm, Emperor Taizong is sick, it seems that on this day, he really wants to accept the emperor's life!" Xie Feng said with his fingers pinched.

"Let's go, Ma'er, go to Chengfu!"

Chang'an City

Cheng Fu –

A person who looked anxious, but there was a heroic spirit between his eyebrows, although he was old, but he looked very tough, walked around in the middle of the compound.

"Report, General Cheng, there is a man in black outside asking to see you!" a soldier from Cheng's Mansion reported.

"Who is the man in black?" asked Chen Yanjin, looking at the soldier.

"I don't know, he covered his face with his hat, and he couldn't see clearly! He said that General Cheng would know when he saw him!" replied the soldier.

"Hmm, do you still have a kitchen knife in your hand?" asked Cheng Yanjin hurriedly pulling the soldier.

"Yes, yes, yes. The soldier was a little frightened, and it hurt to be caught by Cheng Biting Jin.

"Quick, invite him in!" he said and hurriedly asked the soldier to ask for relief.

"He's here, the emperor is saved!hahaha......" Now Cheng Yanjin didn't seem to be anxious, turned around and walked towards the house with a smile.

After a while, the soldiers led Xie Feng to the lobby of the Cheng Mansion. Chen Yanjin had already ordered someone to make tea.

"Okay, it's none of your business, you can go down!" Cheng Yanjin said with a serious face.

"Yes!" the soldier retreated.

"Hahaha, oops, Brother Xie, you can make me wait!" Cheng Yanjin laughed.

"What are you waiting for General Cheng to do?" Xie Feng asked as he pretended to be puzzled.

"Brother Xie, you're just joking! You are a dignified knife man, who knows the destiny of heaven, knows the affairs of the world, and is omnipotent, do you still not know why my old Cheng is waiting for you!" Cheng Yanjin could see that Xie Feng was deliberate.

"Hahaha, General Cheng is General Cheng, and I can't hide anything from you. Xie Feng also smiled.

"I don't know if Brother Xie has a way to save the emperor!" Cheng Yanjin asked.

"Old General Cheng said that I can do anything, so naturally I have to show some skills!" Xie Feng suddenly became serious.

"What's the solution?"

"Actually, I've calculated the hexagram for Your Majesty before!, but ......"

"But what, Brother Xie, don't sell it, just say it!" Cheng Yanjin asked anxiously.

"I have calculated forty hexagrams for Your Majesty, and all the hexagrams are ......... Die. Xie Feng didn't hide it.

"This ...... Could it be that the emperor's fate is destined to be like this?" Cheng Yanjin suddenly sighed in frustration.

"Brother Xie, you just said that you have a way to save Your Majesty?" Cheng Yanjin suddenly remembered what Xie Feng had just said.

"Yes, yes, but at most for a year, and within this year, you must find a monarch as wise as Your Majesty!" Xie Feng said.

"One year? is it really a year at most?" Cheng Yanjin heard Xie Feng say this, and he didn't know whether to be happy or sad. The days when he once followed Emperor Taizong to fight the country are vivid again.

"One year is one year, please help Brother Xie!"

"Okay, since General Cheng is like this, then take this knife! If the third prince Li Zhi becomes the monarch a year later, then I will come to ask General Cheng for the knife money!" Xie Feng said, handing a kitchen knife behind him to Cheng Yanjin.

"Wait, you just said that in a year, the third prince will be the monarch?" Cheng Yanjin took the knife and looked at Xie Feng with a face full of disbelief.

"General Cheng, this is providence. And this time His Majesty's illness is also providential. Please keep General Cheng secret, and General Cheng can secretly help the three princes. Xie Feng said solemnly.

"In that case, then okay! Lao Cheng, I'll help these three princes!"

"Please Brother Xie save Your Majesty!" Cheng Yanjin said and was about to bow and thank Xie Feng, but Xie Feng hurriedly stopped him.

"Old General Cheng, it's not okay yet, I just said that His Majesty's illness this time is the will of God, since it is the will of God, naturally there is a day watching. I need to use the five elements of yin and yang to cover the eyes of the sky!" Xie Feng said.

"Covering the eyes of the sky?" Cheng Yanjin didn't understand at all, why did this cover the eyes of the sky.

"Covering the eyes of the sky is one of the five elements of yin and yang that I have learned. It can be used to temporarily blind the so-called providence. Some people should not die, but some people want to kill people, so they will use the eyes of heaven to protect them from the will of heaven. When the three princes went to the Wooden Pagoda Temple before, they were shielded from the woods outside the Wooden Pagoda Temple by the people of the Shadow Hall with the technique of covering the eyes of the sky. Cut off from the outside world. Xie Feng explained to Cheng Yanjin.

"But this veiling the eyes of the sky is cut off, so won't we be able to see Your Majesty?" asked Cheng Yanjin.

"The technique I learned to cover the eyes of heaven is different from others, I only temporarily cover the invasion of heaven's will, and then look for a way to save people. Xie Feng looked at Cheng Yanjin and said.

"Okay, since that's the case, then let's ask Brother Xie to start!" Cheng Yanjin was also in a hurry, he was afraid that if he delayed for a while, His Majesty would be more dangerous.

"Old General Cheng, it's not right now, you have to build an Temple of Heaven for me in a vacant lot outside Chang'an City. Xie Feng said, and gave Cheng Yanjin the location of the open space, the construction method of the Temple of Heaven and some materials.

"Temple of Heaven, this ......" Cheng Yanjin also had a headache when he looked at the construction method of the Temple of Heaven, and the materials were ordinary materials.

"General Cheng, remember, the construction must be completed within five days! Xie Feng said to Cheng Yanjin, and made a fist gesture to leave.

"General Cheng, I still have something to do, so I'll go first, and ask General Cheng to hurry up. ”

"Okay, Brother Xie, don't worry, for Your Majesty's sake, in five days, I will give you an altar of heaven. Cheng Yanjin patted his chest and promised.

Before Cheng Yanjin finished speaking, Xie Feng had already walked outside Cheng's mansion and left in the carriage.

In the palace, Li Shimin was still in a coma, and all the imperial doctors were helpless. Even Chang'an, the most famous doctor who had cured Emperor Taizong's illness, was invited, and there was no way at all. are anxious about this.

And the crown prince looked at the third prince Li Zhi thoughtfully, not knowing what he was thinking.

On the second day, Cheng Biting Jin asked people to start building the Temple of Heaven, and Xie Feng told the process to bite the gold, and this Temple of Heaven must be ten feet high. (Digression: The height of Shizhang is about 33.3333 meters, so it represents the Temple of Heaven of the Thirty-Three Heavens.) ）

And Xie Feng came to the courtyard of the third prince.

"The third prince of Qiqi, there is a man in black clothes and black hat outside who asks to see him. said he was here to beg for money. A soldier reported.

"Please!" the third prince Li Zhi knew that it was Xie Feng who was coming when he heard it. Before half a month, Xie Feng said that his father would be sick after half a month. Now it's really working. And he also checked some information about the credit knife man, throughout the ages, there are too many legends in the world of the credit knife man, so that the three princes have to be shocked!

After a while, the soldier invited Xie Feng in. Xie Feng is still the same as always, in black clothes and black hats, he can't see his appearance clearly, but he can see a faint smile hanging on the corner of his mouth.

"Young man, please take a seat!" the third prince beckoned to Xie Fengdao.

"There's no need to sit down, if the third prince doesn't think I'm an assassin, I'm already lucky. Xie Feng quipped.

"Wherever Shaoxia says, it's all a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding. The third prince Li Zhi said with an embarrassed smile.

"Okay, I won't talk nonsense with the third prince anymore. Today, I came to ask the third prince for money! Xie Feng said politely. He knows that when dealing with royal people, the more polite you are, the less they take you seriously. Instead, I take it for granted.

"I'm worried about this matter, I don't know if Shaoxia can save my father?" In fact, Li Zhi was not sure if Xie Feng could save Li Shimin, but in the ancient books that Li Zhi consulted, he did talk about the fact that the knife man saved people and cured the disease.

"No!" Xie Feng said unceremoniously.

"Shaoxia can be half a month ago, even my father has not seen a glance, I know that my father will be sick half a month later, it is conceivable that Shaoxia must have something extraordinary. Li Zhi could hear that Xie Feng's tone did not mean to be polite to himself. But the more insistent Xie Feng is, the more he says no, it proves that there must be a way to solve the wind.

"I'm just a warlock, if I really want to save people, I'm afraid I will be used as a magic stick, forget it!" Xie Feng deliberately didn't refuse too ruthlessly, but his words revealed that he had a way, it depends on whether your third prince can comprehend it.

"I know that the young man must do it, the young man can rest assured, no matter what method is used, as long as the young man commands, I will do my best!" Li Zhi heard the meaning of the words. There was also a smile on his face, and it was better to have a way than no way. And now for the sake of Li Shimin's life, he is willing to say what people command, a dignified prince, for the sake of his father, he is willing to bow his head, which has made many people have to admire.

"In that case, then I said, I want the third prince to succeed to the throne, I don't know if the third prince is willing?" Xie Feng said lightly with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

"What?" Li Zhi was shocked, he originally thought that Xie Feng just wanted some gold and silver treasures or some fame or something. But what he never expected was that Xie Feng would let himself succeed to the throne. Isn't this just a turning of the corner and saying that he will not save Li Shimin.

"Please don't laugh at the young man, now my father is still not talking about it, the person who should succeed me is also my eldest brother Li Chengqian, and it is not my turn yet. If this word is spread, it is a crime of death. Although Li Zhi's words sound fine, but after careful consideration, these words are full of ambition.

"Hahaha, Third Prince, you are really ......" Who is Xie Feng, he has experienced so much, and he has seen all kinds of life, can he still not hear the meaning of Li Zhi's words.

"I promised to save your father's life, but your father can last for a year at most, and after a year, I hope that it will be you, the third prince, who will ascend the throne. Xie Feng smiled, he originally thought that Li Zhizhen did not have the heart to fight for power and profit, but his ambitions were all hidden in his heart.

"In five days, your father will be sober, and you should think about it for five days. After thinking about it, come to Shilipo outside Chang'an City to find me. At that time, the answer will be the knife money I asked you for from the third prince. After saying that, Xie Feng turned around and left, but Xie Feng did not go to the main gate, because he sensed that someone was watching at the main gate, but jumped directly and jumped out of the wall of the other courtyard.
