Chapter 230: Counterattack
"Boy, thank you for the master's advice! In the future, if I, Li Shimin, can make achievements in armor making, it will be the fruit of the master's preaching today. ”
Li Shimin did not thank Qianjizi for the transformation and improvement of this armor, but thanked this person for his preaching and inheritance. What this master taught him when he was transforming the 'Hundred Armor' has already shown him the way forward.
Although the time is only three short hours, what is standing in front of Li Shimin now is just a layer of window paper that is broken little by little.
Of course, the so-called 'window paper' here only refers to Li Shimin alone. Qian Jizi only needs a few words to guide him. If you change it to other stupid people, it will really be an insurmountable mountain, even if there is a great master like Qianjizi*, it will be of limited use.
And after thanking Qianjizi, Li Shimin's eyes also showed a little doubt. This unprovoked person called him over, just to teach him armor-making skills, and to help him transform his 'Baigu' armor?
Although this contemporary Qianjizi does have the reputation of liking to promote younger generations and love talents, Li Shimin will not forget that behind him, there is a Yuwen Chengdu.
His instinctive feeling that today's things are by no means so simple-
Sure enough, the next moment, Qian Jizi shook his head slightly: "Don't thank me first! It is our Shenjimen who owe you the Li family, this can only be regarded as a slight compensation, just don't be angry with me in the future." ”
"Indebted?"
Li Shimin looked at this puzzled, their martial arts Li clan and Shenjimen have also done some business, but if there is any in-depth connection, there is definitely no such thing, where does this debt start?
"It's the Nine Transformations Soul Chaser!"
Yuwen Chengdu, who had been closing his eyes and recuperating in the back, finally opened his eyes and said in a cold voice: "I heard that Li Quan of your Tang State Mansion died in the Nine Transformations Soul Chasing Ling?"
Li Shimin's expression was slightly awe-inspiring: "Quan Lao died in the Nine Transformations Soul Chasing Ling! But isn't this weapon from the Qi Palace?"
Nine Transformations Soul Chasing Ling, but it is a kind of hidden weapon exclusive to the embroidered guard, which is said to be able to shoot and kill the super strong. It was made by a master craftsman during the Kaihuang period, and the total number was less than ten, and now they are all locked in the treasure house of the inner palace and have not been used for a long time.
Soon after Li Quan's death, the Hou Zhang's case in the palace had already intervened in the matter, and the martial arts Li had to stop the investigation.
Although Li Shimin did not give up, he always subconsciously thought that this Nine Changes Soul Chasing Ling was the handiwork of Qi Wangfu. After all, this is the current prince, and he has a deep relationship in the palace, and if he wants to borrow a Nine Transformations Soul Chasing Ling from Vientiane Tower, he can still do it.
But after he heard Yuwen Chengdu say this, he suddenly realized that this matter may not be as simple as he imagined.
If the Qi Wangfu wants to attack Li Quan, must it need the Nine Transformations Soul Chasing?
Whether it was Sun Yan, the Blue Demon Divine Sword, or Sima Yunfan, the Reincarnation Heavenly Eye, they were all in the Eastern Capital at that time, and Cao Wen - these three people are all rare in strength and surpass their peers.
"Of course it's not the Qi Palace! The Nine Transformations Soul Chaser Ling was not created by the Heavenly Family, but came from the Divine Machine Gate. ”
Yuwen Chengdu explained: "After the master heard about this, Zeng asked the relationship to inquire with the general manager of Yuan Wen Shuyuan, and the latter assured the master. At the time of the incident, the ten Nine Transformation Soul Chasers were all well preserved on the seventh floor of the Vientiane Building, and during this time, no one had been able to take anything from the Vientiane Building without him being aware of it. ”
Li Shimin's body shook slightly, and something incredible couldn't help but appear in his eyes.
"The reason why you can't believe it is because you think that in this world, there are only ten bodies and nine changes chasing soul feathers. ”
Qian Jizi sighed: "When I was young, I also followed my master and met the Nine Transformations Soul Chaser Ling and the people who made him. Due to a battle of wills, it took me three years to create two almost identical Nine Transformation Soul Chasers. There may be some differences in the details, but the efficacy is similar. Unfortunately, about seven or eight years ago, something unspeakable happened to our Shenji Gate. Those rebels. Not only did I greatly damage the vitality of the Divine Machine Gate, but also stole a large number of treasures from the previous generations in the secret vault of the Master's Gate, as well as many secret instruments with great lethality. Unfortunately, the two Nine Transformation Soul Chasers I made are also among them. That's what I said, I'm sorry for your martial arts Li clan,"
"Is that so?"
Li Shimin had already understood, but at this time, his mood was complicated and abnormal: "It's no wonder that the master, the instrument is a dead thing after all, and the one who killed my Uncle Quan is the one who uses the Nine Transformations Soul Chasing Ling after all." Besides, it's not the master who wants to do this—"
He did have a little resentment in his heart, but he also knew about it, and he really couldn't complain about it. As he said, without anyone's mastery, the Nine Transformations Soul Chaser Ling is just a dead thing.
Although Erlang's words are gratifying, the responsibility that the old man should bear must still bear. ”
Qian Jizi shook his head slightly with a solemn face: "The Nine Transformations Soul Chasing Ling is too dangerous, and the old decay must be taken back no matter what, so as not to create another killing." Those rebels who have rebelled, my Shenji Gate must also make a break with them. And this time, the reason why I brought you Erlang here is because I found a clue to one of them, and one of them, the Nine Transformations Soul Chasing Ling, is in his hands. ”
Speaking of this, he glanced at Li Shimin again: "Sima Jianqiu, who escaped from Bailipo that day, also acted with this person. ”
When Li Shimin heard the 'clue of one of them', he had already tightened his fists, and when the four words 'Sima Jianqiu' entered his ears, he couldn't hold it anymore: "Where are they now?"
Sima Jianqiu was the target of Li Quan's investigation before his death.
In the past few months, although Li Shimin has also been looking for the whereabouts of this person, he has not gained anything.
Although Qinglong Villa is well-connected and well-informed, it still has its limits after all. And if you want to find a deliberately hidden first-class master among the millions of people in the eastern capital of Luoyang, it is difficult to imagine.

"Boom!"
In the palace of King Qi, as a table made of precious nanmu was overturned, the wine plates and bowls also rolled down, making a series of clanging and ping-pong sounds.
"You really stayed in front of Tang Guofu all night?"
At this time, Qi King Yang Xuan's eyes were already red, and the green tendons on his neck flared up: "Bastard! I think you are willing to be willing to lose the face of our Qi Palace!"
"Your Highness!"
Cao Wen was prostrate on the ground, his body was splashed with wine and soup, and because of his exhaustion, he was in a state of embarrassment: "This time it is indeed the carelessness of the slave maid! If Tang Guogong can raise his noble hand, the slave and maid will be on board for three days and three nights. ”
"Then do you want the face of this king? Do you think that the next day after the emperor, how this king will be ridiculed by the courtiers?"
King Qi became more and more annoyed: "The point is that you, this guy, have waited for a day and a night, and you haven't been able to see Li Yuan's person, this old dog, what kind of thing is he?"
"Your Highness is angry!"
This voice is soft and clear, like a clear spring in the empty valley, and it is from a woman in red next to the seat of Yang Xuan, the king of Qi: "The martial arts Li family has a deep foundation, and it is intricate and powerful in the middle of the court. Our Qi Wangfu and Tang Guogong are against each other, and there is absolutely no benefit, and Manager Cao is doing this, which is also the idea of making compromises and enduring humiliation, and he is dedicated to the Lord. He just didn't expect that Tang Guo was like a dough when he was fair, and he let it be kneaded. Once you turn your face, you will be so ruthless and ruthless, leaving no room for it. This time, he did something wrong, but—"
"What's wrong?"
Yang Yun snorted coldly and interrupted the woman in red's words: "His second son is indeed suspicious, isn't it natural to check his other courtyard? After all, it's this old dog, he didn't put this king in his eyes, and he deceived people too much!"
"It's right, it's wrong, but it's not the right time. ”
The woman in red shook her head: "Within thirteen days, in Henan alone, there were twenty-four military attachés below the sixth grade, and seventy-two local officials were arrested. And in Guanzhong, there must be even more, that side is the foundation of the martial arts Li family, and it is estimated that the number will be several times that of Henan, which is equivalent to the strength of His Highness's manpower over there, which has been uprooted. Let me ask Your Highness, is there a way to deal with it now, but there is a counterattack? That's why Cao Wen wants to remedy it. ”
When she said this, she looked at Yang Jian with a somewhat sneering gaze: "Your Highness, you are so angry now, it won't help at all, can you hurt the Tang Kingdom in the slightest?"
Qi King Yang Xuan frowned, and finally sat down helplessly: "Li Yuan, this old dog! If he ascends the throne as this king, he will definitely punish his entire family and vent the hatred of this king!"
He then glanced coldly at Cao on the ground and asked, "Get up, don't pretend to be pitiful with me." Although this time, in the final analysis, it was the martial arts Li clan who looked down on this king. But this time, you really have mishandled it, so you must forcibly search their other courtyards, can't you change to a softer method? According to the previous temper of this king, you must be good-looking, but now this king is at the time of employing people, and let you wear the guilt and make meritorious service first. ”
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
Cao Wen bowed deeply to the King of Qi again, and then still prostrate on the ground: "The slave maid can't be received by Tang Guogong this time, so I know what happened this time, and I can't do anything about it." So at that time, I also thought of some remedies. ”
"You guy, you still know things!" Qi King Yang Yan snorted softly: "How to remedy it, let's talk about it!"
"The best policy is naturally to make peace between the Dugu family and the Dou family, or the Wei family. After all, it was not His Royal Highness who arranged to kill Li Jiazaburo in the first place, Your Highness, you just suffered it on behalf of others. His Royal Highness personally came forward to apologize to Tang Guogong——"
It's just that Cao Wen hadn't finished his sentence yet, and he heard a heavy cold snort from above.
