Chapter 287: Mu Monkey and Crown
Everyone acted so cautiously, not for fear of alarming the armored samurai on both sides, but for fear that the movement would be too big and cause a mistake under their feet.
This Yellow Spring Underworld Soil is not a thing of the Later Tang Dynasty, but a unique soil of the Nine Shadows Abyss, which is far north of the Nine Abysses. These soils are extremely soft to step on, but they cannot be used for construction or paving roads, because among them, there is an unknown foreign substance, called "Huangquan Brown Worm".
The reason why the Yellow Spring Underworld got its name is because of this thing. The people who live in the barren land of the Nine Abyss can only make a living by going out to sea to fish and digging the few wild vegetables on the Nine Abyss. I don't know when, an outsider broke in and wanted to get into the Nine Shadows Abyss. But before the Extreme Abyss Country of the Nine Shadows Country sent troops, those outsiders had fled into the Yellow Spring Underworld of the Nine Shadows Extreme Abyss, and they were nowhere to be found.
This news made the Extreme Abyss Country Lord, who was about to send troops to sweep away, uneasy, if this group of people could pass through the Yellow Spring Underworld, then wouldn't the secret of the Nine Abyss Extreme Abyss be made public? Therefore, they sent troops to guard the main road in and out, but no one came out of it for a long time.
It wasn't until after March that spies were sent to check it out. Then the spies reported that all the outsiders had been buried in the mouth of the "Huangquan Brown Worm", and none of them survived. And why can this Abyss Country spy sit back and relax? Because the people of this country live here all the year round, they have long mastered a method that can quietly cross the underworld of the Yellow Spring, so that they can be safe and sound.
But this Huangquan Underworld, which did not belong to the Later Tang Dynasty, appeared here, and where I walked just now, I clearly felt that something was wriggling, which made people feel even more creepy.
If it weren't for the wind blowing to remind them, everyone would only be worried about the armored warriors on both sides, how could they be jealous of what was under their feet. But now, the ground under his feet is more dangerous than the armored warriors on both sides, because if he is not careful, he will be trapped in it and unable to extricate himself, and eventually be gnawed until there are no bones left.
But all this is not something that Gu Xing and others can know, and at this time, they can only get through quickly to eliminate this hidden worry.
…………
At this time, on the high platform, Li Yanyun found a few jars of womb wine from nowhere, and poured himself a drink. He was now holding a wine glass, staring at everything beneath his feet. But what he didn't know was that danger was slowly approaching. On the other side, Li Cunqiao and Nalan, who were sitting on a stone table and a stone chair, had also set off at this time and walked towards the high platform unhurriedly.
This cloister is extremely hidden, as if hanging in the clouds, looming.
Nalan walked in it, and there were several shark lamps on the inner wall of the hanging corridor, which were unusually bright, not only did he come to the front and take a closer look. Li Cunmiao heard the footsteps stop behind him, so he turned around and asked with a smile, "But you like it?" ”
Nalan didn't speak, but stared at the object, as if he wanted to peek into the mystery.
Li Cunmiao continued: "Gifted by an old man, if the Great Array had not been activated, how could this rumored object come out of the world. ”
Nalan retracted his gaze, looked at Li Cunmiao's face reflected by the firelight, and smiled indifferently, "That old man, okay?" ”
Li Cunmiao shook his head with a smile when he heard this, turned around and continued to stride forward, but he had no intention of answering Nalan's questions again. If it is good, then the world is already peaceful, so why bother so much, leaving such a troubled world is a headache.
It's a pity that some people are gone away after all, and the remaining people can only seek their own safety and protect themselves.
The world is like this, but too many people are caught in confused obsessions and can't extricate themselves. Nalan didn't pay attention to Li Cunmiao's ignorance, but continued to say with interest: "This inner palace big array was also built by this person. I am afraid that no one can match such whimsical ideas. ”
The two of them walked in a suspended corridor at this time, between the virtual and the real, this corridor was under the high platform where Li Yanyun was, and they could see everyone not far away walking slowly on the ladder, but everyone couldn't see them.
Li Cunmiao finally spoke, but he let out a long sigh and asked indifferently: "That night fourteen years ago, did you regret it?" ”
"My lord, what is the point of asking?" Nalan shook his sleeves, as if he was contaminated with some dust that did not belong to this troubled world.
"I'll just ask you, do you regret it?" Li Cunmiao's words are indifferent, but he has undoubted majesty, which may be the irresistibility of Emperor Chrysostom.
"Over the years, there has not been a single courtier in the inner palace, and the thirteen Taibao have also dispersed after the Tang Dynasty, and the lord of the country is alone, living in a simple place, and he doesn't ask about the temples and rivers and lakes on the surface, but he has always understood the world, why?" Nalan spoke a little faster, I don't know if he meant something, and he seemed a little aggressive.
"Nalan, you are presumptuous!" Li Cunmiao was still annoyed and angry after all, and there was irrepressible anger in his tone.
"Is the lord angry? Then why are you still so obsessed with what the woman once did? There was a bit of banter hidden in Nalan's tone, and he seemed to have seen through everything.
"You already knew, didn't you?" Li Cunmiao tried his best to suppress the resentment in his heart, and asked with restraint and calmness.
What does it mean to be yes and no? Is it really that important to not regret it? If I were the lord of the country, I would not care about these illusory things, and only focus on the present, which is the right way. Nalan didn't have the slightest ripple in his flat tone, but he was clearly admonishing a lost traveler, and he wanted to warn the person in front of him not to act rashly.
"You could have killed me and replaced me. Why not do it? Li Cunmiao tried his best to calm down his undulating state of mind, and his tone became more and more cold.
"Lord, you're worried again. I've already asked it once, so why do you still have this question? The top priority now is to solve the immediate trouble, and the remnant of the Immeasurable City who fled into the Zhengying Hall is the great trouble that the lord of the country needs to worry about. Nalan said.
When Li Cunmiao heard this, he suddenly laughed loudly and said: "At this time, the person in front of the Zhengying Hall is not me, and Rao is that person may not be able to think that the person he is going to do is the greatest help of Wuliang City in the Later Tang Dynasty." How could I miss such an ironic scene? ”
Li Cunmiao knew that Nalan was unwilling to continue to entangle, so he also put aside the topic and continued the words thrown by Nalan. Li Cunmiao's distrust of Nalan returned from Nalan to Lonely Roaring Heights. And then it became too calm.
Nalan, who was obsessed with the disputes in the rivers and lakes, began to live in seclusion and did not ask about the world.
But he secretly planned everything in Longshou County, so that a cancer grew in Longshou, which seemed a little ridiculous. The reason for all this, Li Cunqiao didn't know at first, but later, as the truth slowly surfaced, he realized that all this was because of that Gu Mansion remnant, Nalan did not cut the grass and eradicate the roots.
Li Cunmiao didn't wait for Nalan's answer, but waited for the "good news" of Nalan's breaking through the heavens, all of which seemed to be destined in the dark, making everything even more confusing.
Now, perhaps, as the woman once said, "everything has a way, like a dream and an illusion."
That being the case, with this reliance that is enough to turn things around, even if Nalan has the ability to penetrate the heavens and the earth, what does it matter? Even if he wanted to do something, I'm afraid he was powerless.
Thinking like this, Li Cunmiao's mood gradually calmed down. As the lord of the Later Tang Dynasty, these years of dormancy are just to confuse the eyes and ears of the world, in the chaotic times of the Later Tang Dynasty, there have already been chess pieces laid by him, just wait for the endgame here, and there will be no worries.
He didn't have to take such a risk, but he followed his heart and was willing to take it. As the saying goes, "If you are not in hell, you will not be able to slaughter thousands of evil spirits." If you don't walk between heaven and earth, how can you see the suffering of the world? If you don't fall above the Nine Heavens, how can you reign over the Nine Abysses......"
He won himself, the world, and the world with this bitter trick......
However, he didn't let anyone know about all this, and the chess pieces he laid in Luoyang City began to surface one by one. It's a pity that some things went wrong with these chess pieces after all, but fortunately, the overall situation was not turbulent, and everything was under control.
The chess pieces planted in Gaofu have no news at this time. The chess pieces planted in Luoyang City are also missing at this time. Only this Mingyue landlord, but not sooner or later, happened to appear in a difficult time, it was clear that there was a plan, but at this time it was difficult to ride a tiger, and he had to do it.
It's just that I didn't expect that Li Yanyun and Yichu were so close, and they have been in obscurity all these years, I'm afraid they are just waiting for this day to come. And Li Yanyun has been secretly spying on everything in Luoyang City, Luoyang has become an empty city at this time, and Li Yanyun chose to take the initiative.
However, Li Cunmiao pulled the corners of his mouth, hooked up an arc that was neither high nor low, and secretly thought to himself in his heart: "Li Yanyun has calculated everything, but after all, he still missed one thing, this Luoyang Palace can only belong to me Li Cunmiao." ”
When Li Cunmiao walked out of the corridor, he suddenly caught a glimpse of Li Yanyun on the high platform, and couldn't help laughing: "After all, it's just 'Mu Monkey and Crown'." ”
At this time, Li Yanyun would never have thought that a corridor would appear out of thin air under his feet, and Li Cunxuan would walk in it. The surroundings of this high platform have long been blocked by Li Yanyun with key points, and these forbidden troops who have long been hidden in the inner palace have either been installed or bought with heavy money, and now they can be used by him.
It's just that in the Zhengying Hall behind him, the chief eunuch Wang Qi is comforting a fifteen or sixteen-year-old child, and the five princes who also wanted to seek the throne before. It's a pity that he was captured by the emperor's uncle before he left the school, and only Mr. Wang accompanied him.
Although he has read a lot of military books, he has never experienced the world, so how can he understand the dangers of the world. The reason why Li Yanyun kept him was just an excuse to threaten Li Cunxuan. Li Cunxuan, who had already damaged a prince, would definitely not take risks, so he could use this as an excuse to blackmail.
To this day, Manager Wang still has expectations, because the agreement he reached with Nalan has not yet been fulfilled. Even if the "trump card" of the five princes is damaged, Nalan is still available as a backhand. Therefore, Wang Qi is not worried, now he just needs to wait patiently.
Li Cunmiao had already walked to a step at this time, he didn't take a step in a hurry, but turned to look at Nalan and asked with a smile: "Do you think, will Li Yanyun be in my hands, or in the hands of the remnants of Infinite City?" ”
"It's not a problem, because he's going to die eventually." As soon as Nalan finished speaking, there was a sound of slashing and slashing on the high platform, Li Yanyun frowned slightly, turned around to look, an old man with a pale face and a withered shape was grabbing a forbidden army guard, the corners of his mouth were still bloodstained, and his eyes were full of hatred......
