Seeing that Li Longji made a decision, Yang Guozhong no longer insisted on his opinion, he pondered for a while, and said: "Your Majesty, there is one more thing, Cui Lian has not returned now, how can it be good?" ”

"Cui Jian was ordered by me to investigate the matter of the Broken Dragon Monument, and I believe that he will give me an explanation." Li Longji stood up, glanced at Yang Guozhong and Li Qi, and said in a deep voice: "You are all my henchmen, and I don't want outsiders to know about this matter." Alright, I'm tired, stand down. ”

After Li Qi and Yang Guozhong bowed down, they slowly withdrew from the main hall.

"Lord Wang, I hope that the person you entrust can live up to your mission." Exiting the main hall, Yang Guozhong stroked his beard and said to Li Qi.

Li Qi smiled indifferently: "Lord Yang, instead of worrying about this, it is better to take good care of your subordinates, and don't trespass the thunder pool, otherwise the catastrophe will come and it will be too late to regret it." ”

After saying this, Li Qi flicked the sleeves of his robe, turned around and left without looking back, leaving Yang Guozhong alone in front of the palace gate.

Yang Guozhong frowned slightly, and Li Qi had something to say, which clearly meant something, which made him suddenly feel like a thorn in his back.

"King Jianning...... I'd like to see what you can do. Hum! Looking at Li Qi's back, a deep essence flashed in Yang Guozhong's narrowed eyes, and after sneering a few times, he immediately sank into the palace wall.

The annex of the palace is the residence of the accompanying ministers, and after Yang Guozhong left the main hall, he walked straight into a room in the middle of the courtyard.

After pushing the door in, Yang Guozhong snapped his fingers, and two figures suddenly appeared like ghosts.

"Guard the door of the house and don't let anyone approach." Yang Guozhong commanded casually, and the two figures nodded. In an instant, it disappeared again.

There are two huge landscape screens on the left and right of the room, at this time. Liu Tong walked out from behind the screen and saw Yang Guozhong coming in. Hurriedly bowed to him and saluted: "Xiaguan has seen Lord Xiangguo." ”

"Lord Liu is exempt."

Yang Guozhong walked to the chair and sat down, raised his hand slightly to signal Liu Tong to sit down, and then picked up the teacup and drank it.

Liu Tong hesitated, and then sat down on the chair next to Yang Guozhong.

"Lord Xiangguo, this is a gift from Lord Lin to you, please take a look at it." Liu Tong took out a palm-sized rosewood box from his arms and respectfully handed it over.

Yang Guozhong glanced at the rosewood box, put down the teacup, and took the rosewood box in his hand. After he opened the wooden box, a look of joy suddenly appeared on his calm face.

"Lord Liu, you are so careless, how can you be so greedy? If it weren't for the fact that you intercepted Huang Fukun's performance, you would be so greedy, but you committed the crime of defrauding the king, and you would have been killed. Yang Guozhong rubbed the rosewood box and said lightly.

Liu Tong smiled, his narrow eyes exuding a sly light. He arched his hand at Yang Guozhong and said: "The lesson of the adults is that the lower officials are too anxious, but the lower officials are also helpless!" Although Li Canghai has a humble official position. But there are indeed some means, Liang Xiu hid so deeply, he found out. If this credit falls on him, the Holy One will surely exalt him. The greater his power, the greater the disadvantage to us! ”

Yang Guozhong was silent. He stuffed the rosewood box into his sleeve, and after thinking for a moment, his face suddenly became gloomy, and he lowered his voice and said, "Lord Liu, this official is very curious, what is your purpose?" Is it impossible to rebel? ”

Liu Tong was so frightened that he almost jumped up, and he hurriedly said: "Lord Xiangguo, how can you say such words casually, beware that the wall has ears!" ”

Yang Guozhong snorted coldly and stared at Liu Daodao: "Lord Liu, don't think that this official doesn't know what you did when he is in Chang'an, you tell this official honestly, is that the Broken Dragon Monument a ghost that you did?" What is the purpose of making so many rights and wrongs in Luoyang City when you are touring the East? ”

Liu Tong cautiously looked left and right, and said in surprise: "My lord, even if the lower officials have the courage to do anything rebellious and rebellious!" These are all coincidences, don't listen to rumors! ”

"Do you really think this official is a fool? Liu Tong, the prime minister provides you with shelter, but he is not a shield for you! Coincidental? Fart! Yang Guozhong angrily slapped the square table next to him, and the majestic palm force shook the square table for a while.

Liu Tong was silent, and after a while, he took out a letter from his arms and said lightly: "Lord Xiangguo, this is a letter from Lord Lin to you, you will understand after reading it." ”

Yang Guozhong took the letter with a gloomy face, and after reading it roughly, he suddenly said angrily: "How can this be true! It just doesn't make sense! Ben is sheltering you in every way, but you are using this official? ”

Liu Tong shrugged his shoulders and said lightly: "Lord Xiangguo, I believe you have understood what Lord Lin meant, now we are grasshoppers on the same rope, and no one can do without anyone." As long as Lord Xiangguo acts according to Lord Lin's wishes, you will still be the prime minister. ”

"You dare to threaten your true nature?" A touch of murderous intent flashed in Yang Guozhong's eyes in an instant, and he reached out as fast as lightning and grabbed Liu Tong's throat.

Liu Tong didn't seem to expect Yang Guozhong to make a sudden move, let alone that Yang Guozhong would be able to do martial arts, and his skills were not weak.

Liu Tong was choked by the throat, his face quickly turned red, and he struggled and said with difficulty: "Xiangguo...... My lord, it's not a pity for the lower official to die...... But how are you going to explain it? ”

Yang Guozhong's eyes were churning with murderous intent, and he said coldly: "As long as you completely disappear in this world, what else does your true appearance need to explain?" ”

"Hah...... Ha ha! Liu Tong sneered a few times with difficulty, and said intermittently: "You think you killed me...... Can you cut ties with us? ”

Yang Guozhong was extremely angry, he slammed his right hand hard, and directly threw Liu Tong out of Zhangxu, and slammed into a chair, shattering the chair.

Yang Guozhong is not a fool, he naturally knows that killing a Liu Tong will not change anything. All his handles are held in the hands of the other party, which is like being mastered by someone, and if the other party is willing, he can be killed in an instant.

However, being controlled so easily was obviously difficult for him to accept.

He wants to let the other party know that even if the other party holds his handle, he is not a person who can be manipulated at will.

"Liu Tong, go back and tell your master, if he dares to threaten the prime minister again, don't blame the prime minister for being ruthless!" Yang Guozhong said coldly.

Liu Tong struggled to get up from the ground, he gasped a few times hurriedly, and said: "Lord Xiangguo is too worried, we are just seeking money, how can we do such a headless thing as rebellion?" Ahem, Lord Lin said, in order to maintain the cooperation between the two sides, we can help the Lord eliminate all opponents. ”

Yang Guozhong lowered his head and thought about it, his handle fell into the hands of the other party, it is not appropriate to conflict with them at the moment, instead of tearing his face and making a fish die, it is better to use each other, maybe he can get a greater harvest.
