Chapter 13: Assassination, Homecoming

Danfeng Gate

Li Zhi and Wu Zetian were waiting here for Wu Liangfu to pick up Li Hong, and they wanted to see how embarrassed Li Hong was.

"Pheasant slave, what do you say would happen if Hong'er knew about yesterday's facts?"

Wu Zetian remembered what Li Lingmo said, and said to Li Zhi with a smile.

"Mei Niang! Do you want to see Hong'er's expression when she finds out! ”

Li Zhi said in a provocative tone

"That's it! Go to Hong'er's East Palace and wait for him to come back! ”

Wu Zetian pulled Li Zhi and walked towards the courtyard gate of the East Palace

Inside the carriage

The moment Li Hong entered the carriage, he picked up his clothes and wrapped himself.

"Huh? That's not right! It is said that the Heavenly Tribulation of the Spiritual Silence Period will not split for such a long time! It's a strengthened version of it! ”

Li Hong is still entangled in the matter of the Heavenly Tribulation, but what he doesn't know is all because of Li Lingmo's provocation of the Heavenly Dao.

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, will you go back to the East Palace first or go to meet Your Majesty later?"

Wu Liangfu asked

"What do you say! How can I go to see my father and aunt with such an embarrassed child? I must go back to the East Palace first and wait for me to wash up before I go! ”

Li Hong replied to Wu Liangfu angrily, but he didn't know that Wu Zetian and Li Zhi were already waiting for him in his East Palace.

Persia

Leap City

Persian royal palace

"Brother Balus, long time no see!"

Li Lingmo said to Balus, who was standing at the door waiting for him

"Long time no see! His Royal Highness the King of Chu! Why did you come to Persia and don't tell me, but I remember that when you were in Chang'an, you were not crowned prince, and it was only a long time before you became the king of Chu in a blink of an eye. ”

Balus asked with a smile on his face at Li Lingmo.

"I came to Persia this time and I decided suddenly! Presumably the edict at that time, you must have heard it, big brother! You also know that I have been living secretly under the protection of my father and queen mother because of my appearance, and this time I was divided into feudal titles, which was also a helpless move by my father. ”

Li Lingmo talked to Balus

"Okay, brother, don't talk about this, how long are you going to stay here in Persia this time? When to return to Chang'an? ”

Seeing that Li Lingmo didn't want to talk deeply, Balus diverted the topic

"To tell you the truth, Brother Balus, I have been in Anxi and Persia for half a year, and I am planning to leave for Datang tomorrow."

Li Lingmo replied lightly to Balus

"Then brother, do you want my eldest brother to send someone to escort you back? After all, Anxi is not peaceful now! ”

"This is not necessary, okay, I will not continue to bother you here, Brother Balus, I still have to buy something to bring back to Chang'an."

"That brother must come to me at night, and I will give you a table to see off the banquet!"

"Brother Balus, I'm afraid this is inappropriate! After all, now that Persia has just settled down, the send-off banquet is your heart, and I understand it. ”

After Li Lingmo finished speaking, he walked out of the palace and returned to the inn where he was staying, intending to leave for Chang'an at dawn tomorrow.

At dawn the next day

Li Lingmo rode the green shadow along the Silk Road to Chang'an in the east

"Why do I think there's something wrong?"

He hadn't walked far away, Li Lingmo felt something was wrong in his heart, and muttered in a low voice, using his perception to probe if there were any suspicious people within a hundred kilometers.

"Forget it, keep walking! Qingying unleashes your thunder power, and we will accelerate back to Chang'an! ”

Li Lingmo approached Qingying's ear and said to it, the uneasiness in his heart had not dissipated, and at present, he could only release his spiritual power all the way to perceive his movements within a hundred kilometers and observe the dangerous factors that existed in the dark

Not long after walking, a dart shot from not far behind Li Lingmo, and at the moment of approaching, a burst of lightning erupted from Qingying's feet, avoiding the dart.

"Hiss~"

The angry hiss of the green shadow resounded through the Silk Road

"Qingying! I'm fine, you're fully unleashing your powers, I'm going to see who wants to kill me!" If you want to take my life, you have to see if you have the ability! ”

Li Lingmo took the folding fan in his hand and slammed it against the dart that attacked again, and in an instant, the dart turned into powder, and a black shadow flashed not far away.

"There! Green Shadow Chase! ”

I saw the green shadow turn into a flash of lightning and rush towards the inverted black shadow, and in an instant, the assassin was knocked to the ground by the green shadow, its clothes became tattered, the green shadow leaned over, Li Lingmo jumped off the horse, grabbed the assassin's neck with one hand, and raised him with one hand against the tree behind him.

"Say! Who sent you to assassinate this king? And how do you know the whereabouts of this king? ”

Li Lingmo angrily interrogated the assassin

I saw a trace of blood flowing down the mask, and the assassin bit his tongue and committed suicide at the moment when he was caught by Li Lingmo.

"Good! I'd rather die than confess your master, right? ”

Li Lingmo used a spell to summon the jade flute out, and a blood-colored sound wave floated towards the assassin's corpse with the sound of music, only to see the corpse instantly turn into powder and drift away with the wind under the attack of the sound wave.

"Since you'd rather die than give in, then you can have a good taste of the eighteenth layer of hell on that side!"

Li Lingmo put away the jade flute, sat on Qingying's back again, turned into a light and shadow, and continued to rush towards Chang'an.

Half a year later

Changan

"Finally back, I haven't dared to relax in a state of vigilance all the way, since that incident, I feel that I need to prepare a Tang knife to be by my side, just in case, although the illusion is good, it still can't deal with this kind of emergency."

Li Lingmo led Qingying to stroll down the streets of Chang'an, watching this long-lost city, he also heard a lot of various rumors about himself, he didn't care.

"Qingying! When will you be able to transform into a human being, I haven't seen my father and aunt for a long time when I walked back to Daming Palace! ”

He patted Qingying's back and muttered a few words and said loudly, changing in the direction of the Danfeng Gate of Daming Palace, but he didn't know that Li Zhi and the others had gone to Luoyang, the eastern capital, half a month ago.

Danfeng Gate

"Huh? Why are there only sporadic guards guarding here? What's going on? ”

"See His Royal Highness the King of Chu! Your Majesty and the Queen Mother asked the villain to tell Your Highness that they have moved the capital to Luoyang, and if Your Highness comes back, please go to Luoyang, the eastern capital."

"Luoyang? It's time to come or it's coming."

Li Lingmo muttered after listening to the guard's words

"Your Highness?"

"Good! I know! Keep watch here! Since my father and queen mother have moved the capital to Luoyang, I will not enter the palace gate! This will go to the eastern capital of Luoyang. ”

Li Lingmo rode the green shadow and left the Daming Palace

"Should have come or come, Qingying, how do you say I should deal with what will happen next? Am I going to Luoyang or staying in Chang'an to build a mansion? ”

"Hiss~"

"You let me go to Luoyang?"

"Hiss~"

Qingying nodded and hissed

"Good! Then head to Luoyang! ”

Li Lingmo rode the green shadow in the direction of Luoyang, and they didn't know what was waiting for them in Luoyang and what would happen there.
