Chapter 0200 - Side Street Tavern
Li Ji was about to find Du Liancheng, but he didn't expect him to send it to the door by himself!
Looking at today's court, they are all Qu Hao's people. Especially the military, except for Xiaoguowei who has just been controlled by the fifth Lan Xin, I don't know what the effect will be. All the soldiers in the rest of the Gyeonggi area were all under the control of Qu Hao.
Although Du Liancheng is idle, he has been in charge of the army all the year round, and he will be of great help to the empress.
Li Ji laughed and said: "Good wine pipe is enough! But there is no suitable wine shop!"
"Lao Chen has a good place to go, please move Chitose!"
Du Liancheng laughed and led the way first, turned around seven times and eight times, walked to a remote alley, and entered a tavern.
The tavern was small, small enough to fit two tables, and it didn't even have a signboard.
The space is cramped, but it is extremely elegantly decorated, without any sense of oppression, but gives people a sense of privacy.
Li Ji took out two jars of Fenjiu from the garage space. In order to prevent extraneous branches, the glass bottle has long been replaced with a ceramic wine jar.
He poured a full cup and politely sent it up: "This is the best Xinghua Village, Du Lao, please try it!"
Du Liancheng lifted his nose, his expression suddenly became solemn, he took a small sip, smacked his tongue, and called "Okay".
Then he drank the wine down, slapped the table a few times, and shouted, "Happy!"
There was only one guy in the shop, and after silently serving two side dishes, he was gone.
Du Liancheng stared at the wine in the glass and asked casually, "What are you interested in?"
Li Ji clinked glasses with him and said with a smile: "I want to know why you always helped me when I was in Caozhou?"
Du Liancheng groaned slightly, and said slowly: "At that time, someone did help you, otherwise Mu Yimian would have directly split your body in the air! Later, she bombarded with great spiritual power, but she missed and hit the tower, which was also the result of someone's secret intervention." It's just that I wasn't the one who made the shot, and I don't have that ability!"
Li Ji was stunned. Just now, he was just reminiscing about the past, but he didn't expect to come up with such words, and after thinking about it for a while, he said: "I was also very strange at the time, how could a dignified Yuan Infant powerhouse make such a mistake? It turns out that this is the case! Can Elder Du tell me who is the person who helped? Li Jihao often misses it!"
Du Liancheng shook his head: "I don't know, I heard Mu Yimian say later, that power came from the small sedan chair, I don't know what kind of super strong person is hiding in the princess sedan chair!
Li Ji was secretly surprised, Mu Yimian had a strong Yuan Infant Stage Sixth Order cultivation, and he could stop her from such a distance, even if he was a Yuan Infant Great Perfection cultivator, he might not be able to do it!
So what kind of cultivation should the person who made the move have?
Li Ji changed the topic and asked while pouring wine: "Mu Yimian seems to have other ideas?"
"Yes! If it weren't for your righteous help at that time, I'm afraid there would be no empress today! The empress defied the disapproval of the world, ignored the marriage contract, and gave you the title of imperial husband, presumably also grateful for your help!"
Li Ji had already thought of this, deliberately showed an embarrassed expression, and said funny: "The so-called feeling is to trick me to the well capital, and then put it on the shelf and ignore it?"
Du Liancheng didn't smile: "The empress may have a last resort, she may be suffering from some kind of serious illness! Even her cultivation fluctuates greatly, no one can say which level and rank she is in? This situation is extremely rare among female cultivators!"
Li Ji was stunned, and couldn't help but think evilly, could it be that he didn't lift it? Oh no, the woman should be called claustrophobic.
This question was embarrassing, so he changed his tone and asked, "Why did the empress easily spare Mu Yimian when she knew that Mu Yimian was plotting against her?" When I left the cave, I entrusted the empress to you, and you were also considered a meritorious escort. But why was he deposed at the same time as Mu Yimian and deprived of real power?"
Du Liancheng poured himself a drink, and after drinking two glasses in a row, he said: "Maybe the empress has found out about my affair with Mu Yimian, or maybe she went to Caozhou to encounter danger and was angry with me, but every time I taste it, I don't feel like it!
Li Ji frowned: "What could be the secret?"
Du Liancheng suddenly raised his head and looked directly at Li Ji: "I advise you to leave the well capital, don't wade into this muddy water!"
Li Ji didn't expect Du Liancheng to say this, and hurriedly said: "Elder Du thinks that the empress's rewards and punishments are unknown, and she is too willful and reckless? Is it because she is still too young! If she is older, maybe she will be better!"
Du Liancheng shook his head: "You are in the rivers and lakes, you may not care much about the court." The talent and skill displayed by the empress when she was an imperial princess, especially after she was in charge of the country, were awe-inspiring. The reason why the first emperor finally passed the throne to her was definitely not impulsive!"
He sighed: "At that time, we and other old ministers of the court and China even began to discuss whether the empress would become a figure on a par with the sages and sages in the future!
Li Ji groaned: "Maybe the power has changed her? That throne on the Jinluan Palace is already poisonous!"
In fact, in this generation, the royal family is also a single family and has a son. The little prince was smart and studious, and he showed amazing talent at a very young age, but he suddenly died!" Du Liancheng shook his head and sighed, revealing a look of grief and indignation: "He is a fellow of the empress and is the empress's own brother!"
Li Ji had heard Qu Hao say it once, and thought it was nonsense at the time. Qu Hao even said that "it is not certain who is a rebel and a thief"!
At this moment, he carefully tasted what Du Liancheng said, and he was completely stunned. They all mean to say: the empress killed her own brother in order to sit on the throne.
Li Ji instinctively wanted to argue for the empress, but he opened his mouth and couldn't say a word.
Du Liancheng sighed and said: "Although the cannibalism of the emperor's family is against human morality, it is also commonplace, but the empress has only been on the throne for a few days, and the cold-blooded temperament of showing a strange coldness, ignoring life and death, and ignoring the thousand-year-old foundation of the empire is cold! This kind of temperament is by no means something that can be cultivated overnight! Everyone feels that they have been deceived by her!"
Li Ji said helplessly: "So you persuaded me to leave?"
"You can also stand on Qu Hao's side!" Du Liancheng was afraid that he would misunderstand, so he explained: "If you are willing to help Qu Hao, no matter what grievances you have in the past, you can reveal them, and even if you and your Xuantian Sect do not benefit, at least they will not suffer." ”
Li Ji was speechless: "......"
He wanted to use Radurian City as a help, but he was blocked back. Later, although the two kept pushing the cup and changing the lamp, Du Liancheng no longer took the topic.
Today's imperial government and opposition are all accusing the empress of not being the empress. Under such circumstances, it is obviously inappropriate to force Du Liancheng to come forward to support the empress.
Li Ji returned to the Water Diversion Pavilion in a daze, lying on the bed, staring at the beams of the house in a daze, although he was extremely tired, he did not feel the slightest sleepiness.
It wasn't until Greenwaist came over and asked him for dinner that he realized that it was completely dark outside.
The efficiency of the system is extremely high, and the more than 300 pieces of magic weapons needed to build a large defensive array have all been built.
He took advantage of the night to finish laying it all, and if anyone trespassed into the Jingwang Mansion in the future, he would definitely be ambushed by magic weapons.
The green waist obediently waited in the water diversion pavilion, and when he saw him come back, he quickly clothed vegetables with his hands and feet:
"My lord, this dish is delicious, can you taste it?" smiled coquettishly and put a piece of braised pork on the plate.
Li Ji hugged her and smiled evilly: "I want to eat your dish!"
It had been more than half a month since he left the Golden Bird Tower, and his small volcano had accumulated to the limit. Especially last night, that beautiful time, made him feel like he was going to erupt at any moment.
