Chapter 420: To Live is to Die
Lishan Palace.
When Li Zhen was running around in the south of Beijing, and when Yanwang Li Qi was restless in the capital, Qiu Shiliang, who was in Lishan, was surprisingly quiet.
Because he had to be still.
As long as there is no Li Chen's whereabouts for a day, Qiu Shiliang will not dare to return to Beijing for a day.
And as long as he is still here, Lishan will still be an impermeable iron bucket.
You can't get in, and you can't get out.
Qiu Shiliang didn't care about Xiao Liang's escape, even if he was the "Sword of the World" that moved the world.
In Qiu Shiliang's view, no matter how sharp the sword of the "Sword of the World" is, it is just a mantis arm in front of his 100,000 forbidden army after all.
Qiu Shiliang has never been afraid of any "sword in the world", let alone the emperor Li Chen, whose life and death are still uncertain.
And what can really make him feel scared may only be Li Chen under the protection of the "Sword of the World".
Now, there is another Li Zhen.
Li Zhen's identity is undoubtedly what Qiu Shiliang is really afraid of, so he must continue to wait here.
In fact, for Qiu Shiliang today, whether it is Li Chen or Li Zhen, their life or death does not matter.
If they are dead, if they are not dead, then the important thing is that they must not go out of Lishan until Li Qi ascends the throne.
But having said that, Qiu Shiliang still has one more thing to be sure, even if the outcome of this matter is no longer important.
Inside the military tent.
Although Qiu Shiliang became the absolute ruler of the here and now at this time, he still did not want to sit in the palace, because he knew that no matter how much power he had, he was only a courtier of the Tang Dynasty after all, and he was still surnamed Li in this world.
It's an attitude.
In this regard, Qiu Shiliang is familiar with the road.
Qiu Shiliang didn't want to become the target of those imperial histories and historians after a hundred years.
No matter how thick the military tent is, it can't compare to the thick walls of the palace palace, and most of the snow outside has melted, sucking out all the heat that is not much, making it even colder.
Qiu Shiliang's sunken eyes looked slightly blue, the whites of his eyes were bloodshot, and the heavy robe seemed to overwhelm his thin body.
Perhaps no one would believe that the generation of eunuchs who had disturbed the Tang Empire twice had already entered the days of the last years.
"Cough, cough, cough......" Qiu Shiliang coughed lightly in his mouth, and spilled the tea soup in the teacup in his hand.
"It seems...... Your days are numbered! ”
Hearing this, the few maidservants waiting in the account were suddenly drenched in cold sweat with fright, and secretly looked at Qiu Shiliang with their faces down.
Looking at Datang, it seems that there is no second one who dares to use such almost cursed words in front of Qiu Shiliang.
The speaker was a monk in a vermilion monk's robe sitting under Qiu Shiliang, his hands folded on his knees, and a string of white jade Buddha beads in the palm of his right hand, but within the jade lock, there were faint blood-red lines.
Just when several handmaidens were trembling and waiting for a "storm" to come, Qiu Shiliang smiled slightly and drank the remaining tea soup in the cup.
"So what? We can do what we want to do! Qiu Shiliang smiled and motioned to a maid beside him to fill the tea soup.
The Blood Monk shook his head, the expression on his face was noncommittal, "That Yan Wang doesn't look shrewd, aren't you afraid of what kind of basket he stabbed in the capital?" ”
"People who are too shrewd, our family is not at ease, now all the civil and military ministers are in Lishan, as for those who stay in the capital......" Qiu Shiliang glanced at the blood monk, "How much storm can it set off?" How much wind and waves do you dare to set off? ”
"King Qi is still alive!" The Blood Monk then said.
"We know!" As he spoke, Qiu Shiliang's face showed some annoyance, "If it weren't for the incompetence of Qingchen, our family would be much easier at this moment!" ”
"He's not incompetent, it's just bad luck, who would have thought that Xiao Liang wouldn't come to Lishan to rescue him, but instead went to Xuandu Temple first! Speaking of which, if it weren't for the mistake of your news, the poor monk would not be in a hurry to come to Lishan, and if the poor monk was still there, Xiao Liang would not have succeeded! ”
"Humph!" Qiu Shiliang snorted coldly when he heard this, and said, "It's Ma Yuanzhen's news that is wrong, what does it have to do with our family?" ”
"Hmm!" The blood monk nodded and said, "Ma Yuanzhen is still too stupid, but it's ......."
As he spoke, the Blood Monk paused slightly, and then said, "The poor monk always feels that behind this is not as simple as it seems!" ”
Qiu Shiliang thought for a while and asked, "You mean the fake news that Xiao Liang came to Lishan?" ”
The blood monk nodded and said, "Obviously, if someone hadn't informed Xiao Liang in advance, how would he have known that King Qi was in Xuanduguan?" And the other party's intention to rescue King Qi is obvious, that is, to compete with King Yan for the throne! ”
Qiu Shiliang smiled slightly and said, "It's Li Zhen!" ”
"Oh?" The Blood Monk was slightly surprised.
"Don't forget, Xiao Liang rescued not only King Qi that day, but also Yan Heng!" Qiu Shiliang said with a smile.
"Then you are so sure that Li Zhen did it?"
"In the whole thing, there are only two people who can alarm Xiao Liang, Your Majesty and Li Zhen, and among the father and son, the only one who can save Yan Heng at all costs is Li Zhen!"
"Why not the Emperor?" The blood monk asked again.
"Emperor? Hehe......" Qiu Shiliang sneered and said, "His Royal Highness the King of Light, who can pretend to be crazy and stupid and endure for decades, how can he use the sword of the world for a little bad handsome?" Saving one more person is a little more dangerous, this reason...... I don't think our Majesty will not fail to understand! ”
The blood monk nodded and said with a smile: "But fortunately, the emperor is dead!" ”
After hearing this, Qiu Shiliang glanced up at the blood monk and said with a smile: "As long as we don't see the corpse for a day, our family won't be able to believe that he is dead!" ”
"What? You can't trust the poor monks? The Blood Monk's face was slightly uneasy.
Qiu Shiliang shook his head and said, "It's our family who knows His Majesty the Emperor too well!" Someone who can even deceive our family will never die so easily! ”
"As long as he hits any of the five death holes, he won't survive for a day, not to mention the poor monk who hits all five of them!" The blood monk said quite confidently.
Qiu Shiliang smiled and said, "It's not good for people to be too confident sometimes!" ”
Qiu Shiliang spoke in a low voice, sounding more like he was speaking to himself.
After saying that, Qiu Shiliang then smiled and said: "But it doesn't matter anymore, as long as our family is still here, even if he is still alive, he is dead!" ”
"That's why you refuse to return to Beijing here?" The blood monk asked.
Qiu Shiliang shook his head, slowly got up and moved his waist slightly, and then said unhurriedly: "Our family is waiting for someone!" ”
"Who?"
Qiu Shiliang immediately raised his chin to the southeast and said, "Eastern Capital, there is someone left behind!" ”
"Then why did you let the poor monk come here again?" The Blood Monk then asked.
"Hahaha......" This time, Qiu Shiliang smiled happily, walked up to the blood monk, leaned down and smiled: "Because the sword in the world is still alive, and it is in Lishan!" ”
