In the inn, the apricot flame burned quietly in the oil lamp, and from time to time there was a cool night breeze from the open wooden lattice window into the room, making the lamp beat wildly, attracting the fireflies outside the window to come several times, as if to find this unusual companion.

"Yusheng, according to your meaning, the king of Zhenxi is not attacking you for no reason, but is testing us?"

After receiving the Qiankun fan, Ma Xiu scratched his head a little uncertainly, still wondering what the whip that King Zhenxi pulled at Liu Xi during the day was to test something.

Xiao Wu, who was polishing his sword, raised his head suddenly, "You say, did he detect our details from the beginning, so he shot at Yusheng for no reason?" ”

Shaking the Qiankun fan, Ma Xiu said thoughtfully, "My identity is already known to the Li Tang court, and it is impossible for the king of Zhenxi to be without any news, and even he may already know the identity of the disciple of the Yusheng soldiers, but the king of Zhenxi pretended not to know, and asked me and Yusheng to take the scientific examination......"

Speaking of which, many unsolvable mysteries have arisen since he was in Xinyang City, and this is also the reason why Liu Xi feels that the King of Zhenxi can't see through it.

Tian Xun'er, who came in with tea, happened to hear what Xiao Wu said, frowned slightly, and said softly, "He's very powerful......

What Tian Xun'er said is exactly what Liu Xi thinks, the whip of the king of Zhenxi can be described as fierce, and I don't know if it is his full blow.

remembered that when they met, the king of Zhenxi looked at Tian Xun'er and them, it seemed that he had already known the details of the two of them, probably Xiao Ling'er was something he didn't expect, so he stared at Xiao Ling'er for a long time, and really frightened the little girl.

Liu Xi also had no clue, so he could only smile bitterly and rub his chin on the head of Xiao Ling'er, who was playing with the clay figure in his arms, "That's it, I still don't want to think about these headaches, anyway, it has come to this point, we only have soldiers to block the water and cover the earth, if you are more careful, it should be fine." ”

So the matter was revealed, and several people gossiped for a while, and Ma Xiu couldn't help but say in a loud voice to know what happened to the county lord of Shurou now, seeing him like this, Liu Xi naturally wanted to laugh and scold a few words, the county lord of Shurou and others lived in the palace, how could they be treated badly if they lived in their own homes?

Hearing this, Ma Xiucai came back to his senses in astonishment, slapped Qiankun in front of his head, and smiled wryly, "If you don't say it, I forgot that this is Xinyang City." ”

Just as he was laughing, there was a knock on the door outside the house, but it was Jiang Xuanli who came to report something, "My lord, please meet your lord." ”

Hearing this, Liu Xi couldn't help but think of the question he couldn't figure out just now, perhaps, he could find an answer tonight.

Handed over the very well-behaved little Ling'er to Tian Xun'er, Liu Xi instructed everyone to rest early, and went straight out of the inn, under the starry night, the king of Zhenxi stood quietly in a dark martial suit, and the dark night seemed to be about to wipe him out, but he couldn't cover the arrogance and majesty under the burly figure.

Stepping forward, Liu Xi bent down and saluted, "I've seen the prince." ”

Hearing this voice, King Zhenxi seemed to suddenly wake up from his thoughts of staring at the night sky, and waved his hand to Liu Xi, "No need to be polite, come, accompany this king." ”

Saying that, the king of Zhenxi took the lead in walking forward, Liu Xi naturally followed, and there were some dewdrops falling on the tiles of the houses on both sides of the blue brick road, and there was silence in the four fields, leaving only the sound of insects chirping from time to time in the corners of the abandoned bricks.

"For more than a year, you have surprised this king."

King Zhenxi suddenly opened his mouth to break the silence between the two, thinking that he knew that Liu Xi was going to say something humble, and King Zhenxi waved his hand again, stopping him before Liu Xi could speak, and continued to hum, "To tell you the truth, this king has been inquiring about your news, maybe others will be shocked that you have repelled the Huns, but this king is more interested in you governing Yangqu City, of course, there are some other things......"

Hearing this, Liu Xi's heart was awe-inspiring, could it be that the king of Zhenxi had discovered his secret about other things?

Immediately, Liu Xi secretly denied this idea, there were too many secrets on his body, and sometimes, even he forgot which ones he should choose to remember and which ones he should forget from now on.

The secret in the mouth of King Zhenxi probably refers to the fact that he has a body to cultivate.

Sure enough, while Liu Xi was thinking about it secretly, the voice of the king of Zhenxi came again, "Back in Xinyang City, a Qiankun fan made this king see the identity of Ma Xiu, you were friendly with him, at that time, this king suspected that you were also a disciple of the sect, for so long, did you two feel strange, why did this king recommend you to participate in the scientific examination?" ”

What King Zhenxi said was indeed Liu Xi's curiosity, and he immediately nodded and responded truthfully, "I have thought about it in private, but I have always been puzzled." ”

"Alas......"

A deep sigh sounded, Liu Xi couldn't help but look up, only to see that the resolute brows of the king of Zhenxi under the moonlight were full of helplessness and loneliness.

"Since the imperial brother ascended the throne, in order to prevent the sect disciples from messing up the government, he used the upper and lower courtyards as humerus shares, and made every effort to eliminate the cultivators in the Tang Dynasty, but this move was really correct in the prosperous era of the Tang Dynasty, but it is ...... now."

As he spoke, King Zhenxi sighed again, and the sorrow between his thick eyebrows became more and more obvious.

The moonlight is cold, and the melancholy is long.

Li Tang is indeed as the king of Zhenxi said, if in the prosperous era of Kaiping, he can crisscross the four universes, but now Li Tang has traces of decline, and the only ones who can make this thousands of miles of rivers and mountains rejuvenate are those major sects hidden behind the world.

However, the Tang Emperor completely ranked this most fierce medicine outside the Tang Dynasty.

At such a moment, even the king of Zhenxi, who swallowed thousands of miles like a tiger, the pride in his chest turned into a helpless sadness and loneliness like a hero's twilight.

"Over the years, this king has been waiting, and in the end this king chose three people, and you and Ma Xiu are two of them......"

It turned out that he and Ma Xiu were recommended to participate in the scientific examination because of the efforts of King Zhenxi to change the Tang Dynasty.

Just when Liu Xi was surprised, King Zhenxi continued to say something that surprised him even more, "The third person, you also know, Zhang Shaolu of Taoism, but you are the one who makes this king more and more surprised and more optimistic. ”

Hearing this, Liu Xi suddenly realized why he met Zhang Shaolu in Xinyang City, but then he remembered that Zhang Shaolu attacked Li Mengxiao and Li Ze in Xinyang City and Yunmeng Daze.

In his heart, Liu Xi couldn't help but wonder again, the matter of the Xiongnu was related to the king of Zhenxi, and Li Fengge was just a scapegoat.

Just as Liu Xi was thinking about this, the king of Zhenxi interrupted his thoughts with a sentence, "This king knows what you are thinking, and its practicality for the three of you is a game that has to be careful, if you win, my Datang can be evergreen for a hundred years, but the truth is beyond the control of this king......"

Indeed, what King Zhenxi did was undoubtedly making a gamble that he only wanted to win and did not want to lose.

"This king wants to use Zhang Shaolu, what happened in Yangqu City and Heze at the beginning is just to let the royal brother understand that the most fatal death hole in the Tang Dynasty is that the prince is young, and there is no prince, if the prince is in danger several times, the royal brother may tell the world and set up the crown prince. But it seems that the later events made the king unpredictable, Zhang Shaolu's ambition was too great, and he actually used the simple-minded son, and the imperial brother has not yet set Ze'er as the crown prince, only you, Liu Xi exists, so as not to make the king's plan completely defeated. ”

Suddenly, Liu Xi's incomprehensible questions were solved, and he couldn't help but have a little admiration in his heart, as the prince above Li Tang and under 10,000 people, with 100,000 strong generals under his command, what he wanted was not to climb the dragon chair that countless people dreamed of, but to work hard and silently for the entire Li family.

To have such a far-sighted understanding of the overall situation, from ancient times to the present, I am afraid that there are only a handful of people who can do it.

It's just that this time, Liu Xi has new doubts, why did the king of Zhenxi say these words to him?

"Among the three, the most incomprehensible of this king is you, until this moment, this king does not know where you were born and who is in your family?"

As he spoke, King Zhenxi's eyes were like swords, and his fierce eyes were staring at Liu Xi.

Naturally, Liu Xi felt quite uncomfortable, and immediately said the rhetoric that had been prepared to deal with such a situation, "The prince really doesn't hide it, Liu Xi was born in Philadelphia, and his family fell into the middle of the road, and I was the only one left, so I have no worries from then on, trekking through mountains and rivers, and traveling all over the world." ”

Philadelphia, a city in the northwest of Liu Han, was decided by Liu Xisi after thinking about it for many days, because whoever asked about his background must be Li Tang's prominent and powerful people, and it must be impossible to hide Li Tang's state city if he talks nonsense, and this Liu Hanzhou city, if you want to investigate, it will take some effort.

"So that's the ......"

It seemed that he had figured it out a little, King Zhenxi bowed his head slightly, and said in a low voice, but then he said, "Liu Xi, you are a very peculiar person, surrounded by miscellaneous families, soldiers, famous families and even people from the Mo family, I have to say that you have a special ability to attract these proud sons of heaven who should be on one side, so it makes this king even more excited." ”

Liu Xi understood that finally, the king of Zhenxi was going to tell the meaning of tonight's coming.

"The doctor you studied is unique, although this king doesn't know what your relationship with the doctor is, but with the eldest princess here, the doctor will not embarrass the Tang Dynasty, so this goes to the king's biggest worry, plus there are many talents around you, so this king wants to make a deal with you."

"Lord Wang, the lower officials don't understand what Lord Wang meant."

"This king wants you to assist the Tang Dynasty wholeheartedly, in exchange, this king will help you to be a marquis and worship the prime minister, or even a king."

Become a king and become a marquis, such a thing, if you are not yet a weak crown, a person who has just entered the official career, after hearing this, who will not be moved?

But Liu Xi was not interested in it at all.

Just when Liu Xi was thinking about what kind of expression to make to show the excitement in his heart just right, a powerful momentum rushed over, and the slow night wind suddenly turned into a violent wind that swept the leaves and dust, sweeping the empty street, blowing the lanterns under the houses on both sides swinging around.

It seems that Liu Xi has no choice.

With an extremely uncomfortable look on his face, Liu Xi bent down with great difficulty and saluted, "Since Xia Guan is a courtier of the Tang Dynasty, he will definitely go to the soup for the Tang Dynasty." ”

"Yes."

After getting the answer he wanted, King Zhenxi collected his terrifying momentum and slowly left in Yuehua, "This king hopes that you can remember what you said tonight, otherwise, together with this king, you will be a martyr of the Tang Dynasty......"

The night breeze swept by, and there was silence.
