Chapter 472: Nothing Changes
The Descending Pavilion.
Pi Yuan really couldn't figure out why Xiao Liang wanted to set fire to the entire Descending Pavilion, so that he and Li Chen were completely exposed to the front of the army, wouldn't this be tantamount to cutting himself off from retreating
But when Pi Yuan really inadvertently saw the little fires spreading like a tide under the mountain, he instantly understood everything.
"Kill these two"
At this time, Pi Yuanshi can no longer take care of much, and he can't take care of a lot, once Li Chen returns to Beijing alive, then he will have no way to live.
"You think you'll live if you kill me"
At this time, Li Chen was still unfazed, even when his life was hanging in the balance, there was still no panic on his face.
And the diametrically opposite to Li Chen is the face of Pi Yuanshi, which is tense all the time, and the hand that holds the horizontal knife.
"Maybe, at least outlive you," said Pi Yuanshi, with his eyebrows lowered and his voice suppressed.
"Hahaha, I don't think so"
Li Chen's voice fell, and he saw Xiao Liang flash and take a few steps forward.
Swing your arms and raise your sword.
Pi Yuanshi's head was just about to be raised slightly, but he felt a black shadow flash in front of him, like a black lightning.
Ruthless, yet irresistible.
Looking at the red liquid bubbling out of his chest, Pi Yuanshi's brow, which had not been stretched for a long time, finally became completely calm.
Death-like calm.
The Divine Soldiers looked at Xiao Liang in a daze, looking at the iron sword that had not yet been pulled out on Qi Yuanshi's chest, and there was a dull gaze in his eyes.
Although everyone was close to Pi Yuanshi, no one could see how Xiao Liang's sword was stabbed.
A sword that seemed to have no skill or beauty to speak of, but it easily took the life of Pi Yuanshi in front of thousands of pairs of eyes.
Naturally, the soldiers would not know that in addition to the "sword in the world", there was no second person in this world who had such superb swordsmanship, they only knew that the thin man in front of him was definitely not something they could contend with.
"I"
Li Chen opened his mouth quietly.
"Forgive You for Your Innocence"
As soon as these words came out, everyone fell to their knees and shouted "Long live the saint"
It was only at this time that Pi Yuanshi's long-lost body fell to the ground.
Chongrenfang, Yanqing Mansion.
Looking at the princess of Yanqing in front of him, Li Zhen suddenly felt a little scared, even though Li Zhen boasted that he had read history for 3,000 years in his previous life, when he really faced the familiar characters in history, he still seemed powerless, and even sometimes ridiculously immature.
Just like Yanqing, Li Zhen couldn't imagine even if he racked his mind that under his unreasonable surface, there was such a deep scheming hidden.
In the short year that Aya ascended the throne, from the harem to the army, from the height of the temple to the distance of the feudal town, it was infiltrated by the power of Princess Yanqing.
Just this far-sighted mind, I'm afraid that Qiu Shiliang will be a little inferior.
Thinking of this, Li Zhen suddenly remembered what Li Deyu said to him when he was in Qinglong Temple.
And the one who can really see Princess Yanqing clearly, maybe there is only Li Deyu in the world.
Seeing that Li Zhen didn't speak for a long time, Yanqing looked at Li Zhen with a gaze that didn't know whether he was lonely or relieved.
At this moment, the sharp-toothed Li Zhen in the past seems to be gone, and he has become poor at words and clumsy.
Or maybe he didn't want to say anything at all.
"Your Highness" Li Zhen breathed a sigh of relief, "I just said so much, I am not afraid of nearly 100 people in the princess's mansion today."
"How" Without waiting for Li Zhen to finish speaking, Yanqing asked first, "Kill or take to Dali Temple or the Criminal Department?"
was asked by Yanqing, and Li Zhen suddenly didn't know how to respond.
After sighing softly, Li Zhen said slowly: "I can't go back to the capital."
After hearing this, Yanqing sneered, "Those old, weak, sick and disabled people in Beiya have long been beaten by Qiu Shiliang and don't know where to go, why are you?"
Speaking of this, Yanqing suddenly saw that Li Zhen seemed to have a faint smile on his face, a familiar smile.
Suddenly, Yanqing seemed to realize something, walked quickly to Li Zhen, and asked, "Where did they go?"
"What does Your Highness think?" asked Li Zhen rhetorically.
Immediately, I saw Yanqing stumbling back a few steps slightly, originally he just wanted to use Qiu Shiliang's hand to completely defeat the only strength in Li Zhen's hand, but he didn't want to invisibly let himself fall into an irreparable predicament.
"Those people outside are not the Beiya Forbidden Army" At this moment, Yanqing finally realized that no matter what he did, he would always be one step behind Li Zhen.
"If Your Highness wants to turn back, it's not too late at this time, at least now, Your Majesty hasn't returned to Beijing yet," Li Zhen then said with his hands crossed.
"Turn back" Yanqing flicked his sleeves and sneered, "Since the day the emperor and uncle ascended the throne, my sister and brother will never be able to look back."
"Sister"
"Shut up"
Li Jun, who was pale, opened his mouth to speak, but was stopped by Yanqing with a loud shout.
"Do you think that the emperor will spare us after returning to Beijing, don't you forget, who is the person that the emperor hates the most, Aya is your father?"
Yanqing's voice was violent, almost out of shape.
Princess Yanqing, who was originally strategizing and winning in hand, was close to collapse in an instant just by relying on Li Zhen's words.
Yanqing doesn't care about Pi Yuanshi's life or death, but what Pi Yuanshi's death got in exchange was Li Chen's life.
Yanqing did not doubt the authenticity of Li Zhen's words, because she was sure that since Li Zhen dared to break here, he had enough confidence.
And this confidence is that Li Chen can return to Beijing safely.
Because as long as Li Chen returns to Beijing, then all of this will return to the original point, and it will inevitably be accompanied by countless heads falling to the ground and rivers of blood.
"Why do you want to help the emperor's uncle" Yan Qingyu stretched out his finger and looked at Li Zhen in confusion, both angry and helpless.
All this was as smooth as he designed, but because of the appearance of Li Zhen, this low-hanging fruit victory fell into a catastrophe again.
"Because Zhen is His Majesty's courtier, and even more so, the court's court, the Tang Dynasty can't be chaotic," Li Zhen replied.
"Li Jun's accession to the throne can also make the Tang Dynasty glorious and strong, and it can give you what you need, or even more, why can't you help me" Yanqing was still unwilling.
Li Zhen shook his head slightly, "Maybe, but it's just maybe, Zhen can't gamble with the entire Tang Dynasty, the world can't afford to lose, and the people can't afford to lose."
After hearing this, Yanqing's body was as weak as if it had been evacuated, and he looked at Li Zhen with tears in his eyes, his eyes full of despair and helplessness.
"Your Highness, turn back"
As he spoke, Li Zhen glanced at Li Jun meaningfully.
Li Jun shook his head helplessly and waved his hand at Li Zhen, "Let's go"
Li Zhen saluted again, and said softly: "Today, Li Zhen has never been to the Princess's Mansion, has never seen the two Highnesses, has never heard anything, has not seen anything, those people outside are just here to protect the two Highnesses, they will not step into the Princess's Mansion for half a step, nor will they leave the Princess's Mansion for half a step."
"If the two highnesses can still trust Li Zhen, everything will have their own Zhen to deal with King Qi or King Qi, Princess Yanqing or Princess Yanqing, everything will not change"
