Even Yang Guozhong himself felt that Tang Ao and the others did not kill Li Canghai, which was simply an eye-opener for heaven!

Otherwise, who will be able to find out the secret of the elixir?

According to his guess, the elixir of life was hidden in the brocade box that King Jianning had given to Li Longji, and Li Canghai found a way to open it. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

If the brocade box entered the palace, he would never have a chance to do it.

Therefore, no matter what, he will take the brocade box away before it is sent to the palace!

Time passed little by little, and soon it was the second half of the night.

At this time, the masked man came to the study again.

"My lord, Li Canghai and King Jianning have gone to the palace separately!"

"How many people did they each bring?" Yang Guozhong asked coldly.

"Li Canghai brought about 20 people, all of whom were masters. King Jianning only brought a few people, my lord, what should we do? The masked man asked.

Yang Guozhong stroked his beard and muttered: "The virtual is real, and the real is virtual." Li Canghai deliberately brought some more guards, just to make the prime minister think that the brocade box was in his hands. ”

Speaking of this, he suddenly raised his head and said: "Pass the order, all the killers under the 'Yama' group, go with the prime minister to intercept Li Qi, and be sure to seize the brocade box!" ”

The masked man immediately bowed down.

Yang Guozhong walked straight to the side of the study, picked up a sharp sword and pulled it out, looked at the bright blade of the sword, and a sneer rose at the corner of his mouth.

At the end of the day, Suzaku Street.

Li Qi was holding a brocade box in his hand, followed by three guards, and walked towards the Qingxiao Gate of the palace without hurrying.

In the dark night, countless pairs of eyes stared at a few people from the darkness.

These people wore Shura masks on their faces, and there was nothing but flickering crazy killing intent in their eyes.

"My lord, when will you do it?" The masked man asked Yang Guozhong, who was wearing the mask of Yama on his face.

Yang Guozhong's eyes were slightly cold, and with a wave of his right hand, the killers hidden in the darkness killed Li Qi and the others one after another.

"Protect the prince!" The three guards shouted at the same time, then drew their weapons and killed the general.

Li Qi held the brocade box in one hand, waved his palm in the other, and slapped it directly on the chest of a killer, and the killer was killed.

Seeing this, a hint of surprise flashed in Yang Guozhong's eyes, and he immediately drew his long sword and went straight to Li Qi to kill.

There was already a huge gap in the number of people between the two sides, and Li Qi and the others soon fell into a predicament.

And Yang Guozhong's martial arts are not weak, and Li Qi, who is forced by a set of swordsmanship, retreats again and again, without the power of a backhand.

Li Qi wanted to protect the brocade box, but he didn't notice it, and immediately scratched Yang Guozhong's arm, and the brocade box suddenly fell from his hand.

Yang Guozhong's heart was suddenly overjoyed, the long sword in his right hand slashed at Li Qi, and his left hand quickly poked out, and immediately grabbed the brocade box in his hand.

When the brocade box arrived, Yang Guozhong had no intention of fighting, and immediately let out a roar, and those killers disappeared into the night at the same time.

The whole process is no more than half a pillar of incense.

"Lord Wang, are you okay?" Seeing that Li Qi was injured, the guards hurriedly knelt on the ground and said, "The subordinate guards are not good, and the prince is injured, please punish the prince!" ”

Li Qi looked at the injuries on his hands and said disapprerovingly: "This king has already acted according to the plan, and the rest depends on Li Canghai." ”

However, he said that Li Canghai entered the palace under the escort of a group of Jianning iron guards.

Li Longji, who was already asleep, heard that Li Canghai had come to report the elixir, and he actually got up from the dragon bed for the first time.

"Li Aiqing, I heard that you have found the elixir of life?" Li Longji asked while wearing a dragon robe, sitting on the head of the bed.

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister did not find out the elixir, but found out the secret of the three major artifacts." Li Canghai bowed and said.

Li Longji frowned and said, "Tell me, what have you found?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, among the three major artifacts, there is indeed a location for the elixir of life. And the elixir of life is very likely to be related to the brocade box that the minister got from the hands of the 'Reverse Scale Xuanwu' when he was in Luoyang! Li Canghai said.

"The brocade box?" Li Longji touched his chin and said, "I remember the box, I handed it to Qi'er and asked him to find a way to open it, but I don't know if he opened it." ”

After thinking about it, Li Longji shouted: "Come here, spread my will, and let King Jianning come to see me with a brocade box!" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister has already informed King Jianning, presumably the prince is now coming to the palace." Li Canghai arched his hand.

At this moment, an attendant hurriedly came, knelt in front of the door, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, it's not good! King Jianning encountered a killer assassination outside the palace! ”

"Who is so bold? Dare to assassinate the royal family? Li Longji suddenly became angry when he heard this.

"The slave doesn't know." The chamberlain knelt on the ground and said tremblingly.

Li Canghai glanced at Li Longji and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, it seems that someone knows that the brocade box is related to the elixir of life, and it is a robbery and killing halfway!" Please give an order to your Majesty and let the Yulin Army go to the rescue of the prince! ”

Li Longji heard that someone was paying attention to the elixir, and his face suddenly became gloomy.

Just as he was about to give the order, the voice of the previous chamberlain suddenly came from outside the hall: "Your Majesty! King Jianning asks to see! ”

"Xuan!" Li Longji said with a gloomy face.

Li Qi walked into the hall and bowed to Li Longji: "See the emperor's grandfather!" ”

Li Longji saw that his arm was red, and immediately frowned and said, "Guy, what's going on?" What about the brocade box? ”

"Back to the imperial grandfather, the brocade box was escorted to the imperial grandfather, but he never thought that he would encounter a killer ambush on Suzaku Street. The brocade box was snatched by them. Li Qi knelt on the ground and said: "The escort is unfavorable, and the brocade box is lost, and I hope that the emperor's grandfather will be guilty!" ”

"Your Majesty! It's no wonder that the prince is doing this. The minister was worried that someone would come to snatch the brocade box, so he deliberately brought many guards and carried a fake brocade box, and let the prince come to the palace from another route. Now that such a thing has happened, the minister also has an unshirkable responsibility. What's more, the goal of those killers is obvious, which is to snatch the brocade box. Please give your majesty a chance, and the minister will definitely find the brocade box! Li Canghai fell to his knees and said loudly.

Li Longji took a deep breath, he couldn't hide the anger on his face, and he said coldly: "Li Canghai, I will hand over this matter to you to investigate thoroughly!" Within three days, I will find the brocade box! I want to see, who dares to grab what I want? ”

Li Canghai and Li Qi glanced at each other, and the two of them smiled tacitly at the same time.

"Minister, obey!"

After leaving the palace, Li Canghai immediately recruited the Yulin army and waited in front of the gate of the imperial city.

"Canghai, what are your plans next?" Li Qi asked as he put his hands behind his back and looked at Chang'an City shrouded in the night.

Li Canghai narrowed his eyes and said, "Naturally, we will start from the place where the brocade box was robbed, and follow this clue to find out the whereabouts of those killers." (To be continued.) )
