Chapter 254: Secret Forces

Li Tao stared at Shangguan Wan'er and said, "Everyone is a smart person, is it necessary for me to make a difference with this?" ”

Shangguan Wan'er's expression was a little confused: "You are really a strange person, if you could have appeared two years earlier, maybe I wouldn't have to get on the boat of Princess Taiping!" ”

"It's too late for you to get off her boat now!" Li Tao said quietly.

Shangguan Wan'er said miserably: "It's late, I can't come down!" ”

Li Tao felt strange and was about to open his mouth to inquire, but saw Shangguan Wan'er put on a smiling face again: "Don't say these useless things, I came today to talk about a few things with King Lantian!" ”

"Oh? Shangguan Zhaoyi, please speak up, I listen to you! ”

"You have to be careful of Princess Taiping!"

"Princess Taiping?" Li Tao was shocked for no reason.

"You don't have to underestimate her, although it seems that she doesn't have the upper hand in the competition with Empress Wei, in fact, her strength in the dark is amazing, I have been allied with her for two years, and I haven't fully explored her bottom until today."

"Shangguan Zhaoyi, what do you mean ......"

"From beginning to end, Princess Taiping did not put Empress Wei in her eyes, which means that she thought that Empress Wei was not worthy of being her enemy. But now that you're there, it's a different story. ”

"You mean that Princess Taiping will make me her enemy?" Li Tao asked rhetorically.

"At least she'll see you as her potential enemy, and according to her character, she won't allow a more powerful enemy than her to exist."

Li Tao thought silently: He didn't seem to think so far, if he didn't go to the official Wan'er to remind him. I don't know if I accidentally fall into the way of Princess Taiping in the future, and it seems that I have to be wary of this woman in the future. Chang'an City has now become a big whirlpool, if you are accidentally caught in the center of the whirlpool. There is a chance that there will be no bones left at any time.

"In addition to Empress Wei and Princess Taiping, there is also an invisible force in Chang'an City......"

"What? You say there is a third force in Chang'an? Li Tao was shocked by Shangguan Wan'er's words again?

"Yes, this force is no less than Empress Wei and Princess Taiping, and the most terrifying thing is who doesn't know who is behind this force!"

Li Tao couldn't lie down, so Huo Di got up and got out of bed. I was tossing in Chang'an, and I thought that everything was under my control, but who knew that there was still a hidden force. And he didn't know anything, which made him feel a little frustrated.

"Are you sure there is such a force?" Li Tao asked through gritted teeth.

"I'm sure!" Shangguan Wan'er nodded.

Li Tao believed in Shangguan Wan'er's judgment, and she followed Wu Zetian for decades. She has an unusually keen sense of smell, which is her strength. Thinking of this, Li Tao asked again: "Since there is such a large force, it is impossible not to have a little clue. Haven't you looked it up secretly? ”

Shangguan Wan'er smiled bitterly: "I started checking half a year ago. But every time he reached a critical place, the clue was broken, and he still has no clue to this day. ”

"From this point of view, this force is well-organized, and the plan is not small!" Speaking of this, Li Tao sneered: "I don't know, but now that I know, if I don't pull it up, I won't be called Li Tao." ”

Shangguan Wan'er smiled and said, "I know." The only one who can deal with them is the Lantian King......"

Li Tao suddenly asked, "Shangguan Zhaoyi told me that these wouldn't be without plans, right?" You say, what do you need? ”

"Talking to smart people is a matter of convenience. I do have one thing to ask for! ”

Li Tao quietly waited for Shangguan Wan'er's next words.

"It's too early to say this, and it can only be said in the future when the parties will see each other. For Wan'er's sake of telling her bluntly today, when the time comes, King Wanwang Lantian will not refuse! ”

Li Tao saw that Shangguan Wan'er didn't say anything, nor did he force it, but just nodded: "I owe Shangguan Zhaoyi a favor today, and I will pay it back one day, you just have to rest assured." ”

……

That night, Li Shen, Tong Zhaoxiang, and Tong Zhaorui were quietly summoned into the mansion by Li Tao, and the four of them talked until the second half of the night, and Li Shen and the other three left in a hurry. Although Pei Yue, who was guarding outside the house, didn't know what they were talking about, he could feel from the solemn looks of the three of them that what Li Tao talked about with them must be extraordinary.

……

The shadow of dawn quietly faded, the morning light floated with light steps, the warm spring breeze blew gently, the sun shone on the earth, the sun was shining, the wind was beautiful, and the spring was pleasant!

Li Tao, Pei Yue and Li Bai rode horses all the way to look at the pastures by the mountains and rivers, watching the beautiful spring scenery, which made people feel that the beauty was hard to collect.

"Uncle Yue, how many days have they arrived?" Li Tao asked casually.

Li Tao asked about the child slaves who arrived in Qixingzhuang. At the beginning, after Princess Taiping gave Li Tao the place called Qixingzhuang outside Chang'an City, Li Tao sent a letter to Li Wenjiao in Luzhou, asking him to quickly select a hundred child slaves to rush to Chang'an. Li Tao planned to let these children stay in Qixingzhuang for a long time, after all, his strength in Chang'an was a little weak, and with these descendants who were loyal to him, he would feel much more at ease. After these children arrived at Qixingzhuang, Li Tao didn't have time to take a look, and today he had a rare time, so Li Tao went straight to Qixingzhuang.

"Little master, they've been here for ten days!" Pei Yue replied.

"Those children are still young, and I don't know if Uncle Dong can take care of them alone!" Li Tao muttered.

Pei Yue smiled and said: "This little master can rest assured, don't think that Dong Fei can only make wine, doing this little thing is not a problem for him at all!" ”

"Oh? Uncle Dong still has this ability? Li Tao came to be interested.

"If the little master doesn't believe it, let's go to the Zhuangzi to see, he keeps it in good order!" Pei Yue said confidently.

Li Tao stopped talking, smiling and riding the horse.

Qixingzhuang is located in Wannian County, not far from Chang'an City, only about twenty miles away.

Li Tao, Pei Yue and Li Bai had never been to Qixingzhuang, so they asked all the way and soon arrived at the head of the village.

When the three of them looked at the horse, Li Tao raised his eyebrows, and said with a smile on his face: "Come out!" ”

Li Bai was stunned, and found that two figures suddenly jumped down from a dense old locust tree, and when he looked closely, it turned out to be two and a half children.

The two children knelt on one knee in front of Li Tao's horse, and the leading child said loudly: "Li Da has seen the master!" ”

Li Tao nodded: "Get up!" ”

"Yes! Master! Li Da stood up.

Li Tao turned over and dismounted, walked in front of Li Da and looked at it carefully for a while, before he was relieved: "Yes, it's stronger than when I left!" ”

Li Da didn't speak, but Li Bai clearly saw that Li Da's eyes were a little moist. (To be continued......)
