Lishan Palace.

The jade chariot is still there, the flag is still there, and the magnificent Son of Heaven is still standing quietly in the sunset, flashing with dazzling golden brilliance, which makes people not be forced to look.

After the people went to the empty building, the Huaqing Palace had long since lost the noise of yesterday, and there was a dilapidated dead silence everywhere.

The palace is naturally immortal, and it is only people who are dilapidated.

......

"How many soldiers and horses are left?"

Pi Yuanshi glanced up at this huge palace, and a look of disdain flashed in his eyes.

"Back to the deputy envoy, there are still 500 cavalry and 1,000 foot soldiers in Lishan!"

A general behind him replied.

Pi Yuanshi nodded lightly, and asked again: "Can you still trust it?" ”

"Gu is an old man who has followed the deputy envoy for nearly ten years!"

"Do you know who we're going to kill today?" Pi Yuanshi asked again.

The general shook his head and said, "I don't know! ”

"Want to know?"

"The deputy envoy wants to kill the enemy of the Tang Dynasty!" The general replied with his head bowed.

"Enemies? Hahaha......." Pi Yuanshi laughed loudly, "Yes, it is the enemy of the Tang Dynasty, a ranger who is the enemy of the Tang Dynasty!" ”

"Dare to ask the deputy envoy, where is this person?"

Qi Yuanshi turned to look west, then stretched out his hand to point to a mountain peak not far away, and said slowly: "Descending Saint Pavilion!" ”

......

Chang'an, Princess Yanqing's Mansion.

Looking at Li Zhen's tightly knit brows, Yanqing looked very happy.

"Do you really want to know something?" Yanqing stretched out his hand and gently brushed Li Zhen's face, bringing a burst of fragrant fragrance.

Li Zhen thought for a while, and then said: "With Uncle Xiao by His Majesty's side, is His Highness sure that Pi Yuanshi will be able to succeed?" ”

After hearing this, Yanqing looked at Li Zhen with a little surprise and said, "How do you know that it is Pi Yuanshi?" ”

Li Zhen chuckled but didn't answer directly, but asked rhetorically: "Your Highness's eyes and ears are all over the court and outside, I'm afraid that such a battle has been planned for a long time, right?!" ”

Yanqing's face immediately showed a hint of undisguised pride, "I remember that Aya said when he was still alive that if you don't want to become a ghost under the knife, you can only become a knife catcher!" ”

The words fell, but Li Jun on the side was suddenly stunned, and then looked at Yanqing in a daze, with two lines of tears in his eyes.

Yanqing glanced at Li Jun and said quietly: "It seems that you still remember this sentence of your father, this sentence was originally said to you in Jixian Palace, but now it is implemented by my sister!" ”

After speaking, Yanqing turned his gaze to Li Zhen again, and said softly: "It's just some old ministers who are still loyal to their father, and this palace doesn't need to plan anything at all!" ”

Li Zhen smiled noncommittally, and then asked, "In this way, His Royal Highness is naturally not afraid of Qiu Shiliang?" ”

Speaking of this, Li Zhen's heart was beating violently, because he was afraid that Yanqing would say the answer he didn't want to hear.

If that's the case, even if she can't save her two sisters and brothers.

However, Yanqing didn't answer immediately, just smiled, "Guess what? ”

Li Zhen closed his eyes slightly, and his heart seemed to be a monstrous wave, and he could no longer deal with it calmly.

If Yanqing has anything to do with Qiu Shiliang, then the only thing waiting for her is death.

Nothing else.

Seeing Li Zhen like this, Yanqing couldn't help but feel soft in his heart, and chuckled: "It's just a gelding, she's not qualified to cooperate with this palace!" If it weren't for him, how could the throne be the turn of the emperor's uncle?! ”

When Li Zhen heard this, he remembered that after the death of Wuzong in the sixth year of Huichang, it was Qiu Shiliang who supported Aye to ascend the throne, and since then he has completely cut off the opportunity for Wuzong to inherit the unification.

After all, if this were not the case, Li Jun, the eldest son of the emperor, would naturally sit on the throne of the Tang Emperor.

This is a knot in Yanqing's heart, a dead knot that Qiu Shiliang can never untie no matter what he does.

"The princess said too much today, I think I can't leave the princess's mansion alive today?"

For some reason, after hearing Yanqing's words, Li Zhen instantly calmed down a lot.

But it seems to ...... It's more like relief.

Yanqing smiled, put his lips to Li Zhen's ear, and laughed softly: "Your life is in your hands, it just depends on how you decide!" ”

......

Lishan, descending to the Holy Pavilion.

The Holy Pavilion was originally the Laojun Temple, only because the Emperor Xuanzong Xiao built, so the world called it the "Holy Pavilion", which enshrined a white jade Laojun statue, destroyed in the "Anshi Rebellion".

Today's Descending Pavilion has long since lost the heyday of the incense in the Kaiyuan Dynasty, the "Lao Jun Statue" from the hands of the most exquisite craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry, and now there is only a mutilated body, the broken arms have long been missing, after the round and plump body, there is no longer a shadow of the heyday of the Tang Dynasty.

This is Li Chen's first time here, and perhaps the last.

His fingers lightly swiped over the stone statue, and all Li Chen felt was the coldness that penetrated into his bone marrow.

"It's still a stone statue after all!" Li Chen's words revealed a trace of sadness and disappointment.

"It's just a stone statue!" Xiao Liang stood outside the door without looking back, still as thin as a sword.

Li Chen fell silent, found a stone staircase and sat down, allowing the dust accumulated for a hundred years to stain his unclean robe.

"Are you sure someone is coming?" Xiao Liang outside the door seemed to never sit.

"If you dare to talk to me in this tone, you are the only one in the world, Xiao Zhongli!" Li Chen smiled, never seeming to worry about anything.

Seeing that Xiao Liang no longer spoke, Li Chen immediately said: "If Li Zhen has already met A-Niang, then the news that I am alive is no longer a secret to some people!" ”

Xiao Liang glanced at him slightly, "Who are you referring to?" ”

Xiao Liang rarely asked questions, especially in front of Li Chen, Li Chen looked very happy after hearing this, and said, "Naturally, those who don't want me to be the emperor!" ”

Xiao Liang was not interested in guessing, and he didn't bother to ask, for him, Fang Cai's sentence should not be asked at all.

Without an answer, Xiao Liang fell silent again, his gaze stabbing straight into the distance like a sword.

Li Chen smiled a little embarrassedly, he knew Xiao Liang, and he had already said more today than he had ever said in his life.

"Wait, someone will come, I've never seen a wrong thing in my life!"

Li Chen put his hands behind his head and lay straight on the ground, and the smile that had just appeared on his face had turned into a cloud of sadness.

......

Princess Yanqing Mansion.

Yanqing said a lot, and Li Jun also listened a lot, but in the end, he was even more surprised than Li Zhen.

Or rather, fear.

Li Jun never thought that the arrogant and domineering sister would have such a scheming, let alone that his most trusted sister would rather tell Li Zhen about this enemy than reveal half a word to himself.

Who should I believe? Who should I suspect? Li Jun couldn't tell the difference, and he couldn't tell the difference.

He only knew that he was like Li Zhen, but he was just a chess piece in his sister's hand.

At this moment, Li Zhen suddenly thought of someone, and immediately asked: "If Zhen guessed correctly, the news of His Royal Highness must have come from Empress Dowager Zheng!" ”

If Yanqing already knew that Aya was still alive, then the news must have come from Empress Dowager Zheng.

Empress Dowager Zheng naturally won't divulge anything, but the people around her ......

A name is already coming out of Li Zhen's heart.
