Chapter 292: Covering the Sky
So now the question is, what kind of role did the evil king Shi Zhixuan play in this incident in which Du Ruhui was almost killed, whether it was just a coincidence, or the final launch after careful planning, if it was the former, it would be nothing, the evil king was not optimistic about the opportunity, and naturally there would be no threat to Li Shimin, however, what if it was the latter! What if this incident was planned by the evil king? Then Shi Qingyi can be undoubtedly sure that he is willing to make such a move, which proves that the evil king no longer cares about his exposure, which means that the changes he caused in the future will inevitably be earth-shattering, enough to instantly subvert the Tang Dynasty!
This is not that Shi Qingyi is scaring herself in her heart, but with her own understanding of the evil king, the evil king is such a person, which can be seen from the experience of Cao Yinglong, the leader of the four great Kou in the past.
Cao Yinglong was originally a subordinate who followed the evil king Shi Zhixuan for many years, not only strong in martial arts, but also loyal to the evil king, however, it was only because his talent was biased towards the generals who marched and fought, rather than the assassins and strategists that the evil king needed, so he was idle by the evil king, and in the end, he could only pull up a rogue to gather wealth for the evil king, and did not get the due reuse, from this point of view, it can be seen that the evil king's style of acting is good at conspiracy methods, however, from his attitude towards Cao Yinglong, a subordinate for many years, You can also see his ruthlessness and determination! Such an evil king, if he doesn't move, if he moves, I'm afraid that even the sky will be poked out of a hole by him! How could Shi Qingyi not be vigilant by this father, and even regarded him as a great enemy!
Shi Qingyi looked at Li Yan: "So now, how much control do you still have over the Yin Sect?" Although she didn't have any hope, but now, Shi Qingyi still inevitably needed to ask, but the result of the matter was not as she expected. When Shi Qingyi's words came out, Li Yan's face was full of a wry smile.
"Not at all?" Although he had expected it, Shi Qingyi's face couldn't help but show a look of disappointment. After all, although the Yin Queen has been famous all these years, she has always used violence to suppress those who disobey her in the Yin Sect, but she has never used kindness to win people's hearts, so that when she "died", not only did the entire Yin Sect immediately split into a plate of scattered sand, but there was not even a person loyal to her except Wan Wan, so that at this moment, Li Yan not only could not disclose the news that she was still alive at this time, but even carefully covered it up, so as not to attract those disciples who were once extremely dissatisfied with her. Ill-intentioned towards her! In such a situation, especially after Wan Wan left the Yin Sect again, it can be said that Li Yan's influence on the Yin Sect at this time is really gone!
"What about you? Although you have been wandering on the periphery of the Demon Gate, and have never entered the core of the Demon Gate, however, after all these years, are you really not in the Demon Gate. I have gathered the slightest bit of power! But it was Li Yan who asked Shi Qingyi rhetorically.
"It's a pity, but there is nothing!" Shi Qingyi heard this. But he shook his head lightly and said: "After all, if you want to find out almost all the important information in the Demon Gate, this is by no means something that an obscure small branch can do, and if you want to expand your strength and influence, it will inevitably attract the attention of almost all the people in the Demon Gate." In that case, don't you say that my enemies in the demon gate will notice me because of this? What's more, with the power of my father, I want to come. He will never let me pose a threat to him in the Demon Gate, so if I want to establish such a force, wouldn't I be asking for trouble! ”
For what Shi Qingyi said, Li Yan also already understood, Shi Qingyi did not lie, in fact, her situation is exactly like this, less investment, no effect, and more investment, aroused the suspicion of her father the evil king, that is purely asking for hardship, plus at this time Shi Qingyi is not able to get the help of the power of the Demon Gate Flower Sect, such as the benefits of collecting information and sharing, etc., and if you anger the evil king because you want to set up a portal in the Demon Gate, it is indeed worth the loss.
So at this moment, even Li Yan can only admit that letting Shi Qingyi see the evil king Shi Zhixuan is indeed the best way at this time.
"There's really no way to take you!" Li Yan said: "It seems that I can only find Wan Wan and let her see if she can do anything to add some security to your safety!" Alas! To be honest, I really don't want to face her! Li Yan sighed, with a look of reluctance, too, after all, at this time, she suddenly became a little girl from the former queen of yin, although as she grew older, her body at this time also looked like she was a teenager, but even so, it was really shameful to be seen by her apprentice at this time, however, at this moment, in order to make Shi Qingyi safe, she couldn't care so much. And Shi Qingyi, naturally will not be indifferent to her maintenance, speaking of which, the relationship between the two at this time is very strange, on the one hand, the queen of yin is the former lover of the evil king Shi Zhixuan, and is the master of Wan Wan, it should be Shi Qingyi's elder, however, at this moment, she was forcibly adopted by Shi Qingyi as a daughter, and even Li Tang's royal family remarked her identity, think about it, it is really wonderful!
The next day, Shi Qingyi had already expressed his intention to meet with the evil king through the channel of the Guò Flower Sect, and Li Shimin went to the palace to meet Li Yuan to expose Yin Zuwen's sin of beating Du Ruhui, but it didn't take long for him to return to the palace of King Qin, and no one necessarily locked himself in his study, and he didn't come out until night, and when he walked out of the study, the whole person's temperament was so sluggish!
Seeing such a scene, how could Shi Qingyi not know that Li Shimin, he must have been reprimanded in front of Li Yuan again, so that this time, not only did he fail to seek justice for his subordinates, but he could not even guarantee the safety of his subordinates. Later, Shi Qingyi learned that that day, when Li Shimin came to Li Yuan with the evidence of Du Ruhui's injury and reported Yin Zuwen's crime, what kind of scene did he face.
It turned out that long before Li Shimin saw Li Yuan, Yin Zuwen had already asked Concubine Yin De to meet Li Yuan, and preemptively accused Du Ruhui of being rude to him in front of Li Yuan, Yin Zuwen was angry but ordered someone to injure him, and then Li Shimin, the king of Qin, also sent out his personal guards to attack his mansion, and made threats that Yin Zuwen would not die well, and the King of Qin would always report flaws, so Yin Zuwen would be so panicked and uneasy, so he would immediately enter the palace to meet Tang Emperor Li Yuan, and wanted to ask Li Yuan for protection.
Hearing that Li Shimin bullied his beloved concubine's father, Li Yuan naturally became angry immediately, but because Li Shimin has always been his most beloved son, Li Yuan still has some doubts about this, however, at this time, Li Shimin has fallen into isolation above the entire court, not only Li Yuanji and Yin Zuwen have long wanted to put him to death, but even the crown prince Li Jiancheng has already made up his mind at this time to kill Li Shimin, the king of Qin, for the sake of the stability of the Tang Dynasty. The three of them became tigers, even the mother of the pre-Qin sage Zengzi thought that Zengzi had killed someone and fled, not to mention Li Yuan, who was already dissatisfied with his second son Li Shimin at this time, so Li Shimin was speechless about Yin Zuwen's frame, and Li Yuan was both angry and extremely disappointed with this son.
That is, from that day on, with Li Shimin's depression, his subordinates' lives began to be sad, not only Du Ruhui was beaten by Yin Zuwen's servants, but even his family began to be intimidated by the ruffians and hooligans, and Fang Xuanling, who has always been as famous as Du Ruhui under King Qin, will of course not be spared, and has been beaten many times in Chang'an City for no reason, but fortunately, in a beating, Fang Xuanling happened to encounter Wei Zheng, the strategist of the prince Li Jiancheng, Wei Zheng was old-fashioned, so although he served under the prince and Fang Xuanling was his master, he was very dissatisfied with this kind of wanton bullying of the Qin King's advisers, so he took out bread to shelter Fang Xuanling, and Fang Xuanling was able to pull Du Ruhui to hide in the Taoist temple with the help of Wei Zheng, so as to avoid persecution.
Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui are like this, not to mention the other Qin king's strategists and ministers, just like that, under such a threat, many Wenchen strategists had to stay away from the Qin Palace, or abandon their officials and flee, or simply succumb to the side of the crown prince Li Jiancheng.
Compared with Wenchen, the situation of the generals is undoubtedly slightly better, because after all, they all came out of the battlefield, and the murderous aura on their bodies is far from comparable to the ruffians in Chang'an City and the families in the courtyard, and as for other methods, the crown prince Li Jiancheng once gave a cart of treasures to Wei Chi Gong, the number one general under King Qin, in exchange for his refuge, however, he was rejected by Wei Chi Gong with righteous words. Later, one day, an Assassin broke into Yu Chigong's home and tried to disadvantage him, but when Wei Chigong learned of the Assassin's arrival, he opened the doors and windows, lit the candles in the house, and then lay down in his bedroom to sleep, so that although the Assassin lingered outside the door all night, he never dared to push the door in, and the assassination ended without a hitch.
So, under the blows of all sides, the originally prosperous Qin Wang's family has become precarious in an instant, and the Wenchen family has long since collapsed, leaving only the generals who are still struggling to support, and fortunately, although Li Yuan at this time has been extremely disappointed in Li Shimin, but did not have the idea of wanting to get rid of Li Shimin, plus at this time the northern Turks, as well as the survival of the southern Jiangnan coalition army, in the northern war, Li Yuan needs to rely on Li Shimin's ability to lead the army, therefore, Although at this time, the Qin Wang's family had fallen into the fierce encirclement and suppression of all sides, but at least for now, Li Shimin's Qin Wangfu was able to remain calm and not affected by the impact.
However, it is only a matter of time! (To be continued......)
