Chapter 636: The Dragon Palace Gives Tea for Immortality
Fujiwara Kyoko looked at the blown up carriage and said puzzledly: "Ji Tong, didn't you say that an important prisoner was being held in this carriage?" How can it be a trap? ”
Lu Jitong smiled slightly and said, "Apricot, you don't know anything. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoAll this was arranged by the adults, and the real prisoners were actually in the army all the time and never left. The reason why the adults do this is to confuse the public and make the traitors think that the real thief is with us! ”
Fujiwara Kyoko blinked her eyes and said suddenly: "I know, this is what you often say about your Central Plains Art of War: virtual is real, real is virtual!" ”
Lu Jitong nodded, his eyes were full of admiration, and said: "In order to make them think that the thief leader is here, my lord even ordered General Su Hai to lead more than 100 people, disguised as fleeing people, and follow us all the way. When the thieves saw that the adults had put so much effort into protecting the prisoner car, they believed that the thief was with us. Adults' comprehension of people's hearts is simply amazing! ”
"So what do we do now?" Kyoko Fujiwara asked as she brushed her hair from her forehead.
Lu Jitong narrowed his eyes and said, "Naturally, I went to Chang'an to meet my lord." ”
Lu Jitong counted the number of his own people, except for five who were seriously injured, the rest of them were only slightly injured.
After everyone rested for a while, they headed in the direction of Chang'an.
In Huaqing Palace, after the banquet of the monarchs and ministers, Li Canghai was left alone by Li Longji.
In the imperial study, Li Longji sat on the dragon chair.
Li Canghai sat on the chair below, holding the ginseng soup rewarded by Li Longji, and drank it without a sip.
"Aiqing, how does this ginseng soup taste?" Li Longji stroked his beard and smiled.
"Back to Your Majesty, this ginseng soup is the best in the world, and the taste is naturally excellent." Li Canghai said.
Li Longji sighed, his face suddenly became sad, he shook his head and said, "Even if this ginseng soup is the best in the world, it can't have the effect of prolonging life!" ”
Li Canghai instantly understood the meaning of his words, and said in his heart: I said why are you so kind to give me ginseng soup, dare to love it or for the elixir of life!
"Aiqing, do you know what I think?" Li Longji stared at him and asked.
Li Canghai smiled bitterly and said, "What Your Majesty thinks in your heart, the minister naturally knows. ”
Li Longji nodded, he looked at Li Canghai, and said seriously: "Aiqing, if anyone in this world can find the elixir of immortality, it must be you. You don't want to disappoint me! ”
Li Canghai put down the ginseng soup and arched his hand: "It is a blessing for the minister to be able to share the worries of His Majesty." It's just that....... ”
Li Longji saw that his brows were furrowed, so he said, "Just what? ”
"Back to Your Majesty, the minister suspects that someone else is also secretly looking for the elixir of immortality." Li Canghai said.
"Oh? Is there anyone else working on the idea of the elixir of life? Who? Hearing that someone was also looking for the elixir, Li Longji's face instantly became gloomy.
"Back to Your Majesty, when the minister was in Yangzhou, he once caught Feiyuan, the territory of the head of the Japanese who wanted to steal the three major artifacts. According to his confession, it was a certain minister of the DPRK who colluded with him and ordered him to steal the three major artifacts. Li Canghai knew that Li Longji relied heavily on Yang Guozhong, so he did not directly say Yang Guozhong's name.
"Who is so bold?" Li Longji really fell into anger, he slapped the armrest of the dragon chair and said coldly.
"This, the minister has not found out, only knows that it is the minister's high position. Your Majesty also knows that the secret of immortality is hidden in these three major artifacts, and if the artifact is stolen, this secret of immortality will naturally be impossible to investigate. Li Canghai said calmly.
"I want to see who is so bold as to dare to fight with me? Aiqing even if she goes to investigate, she must find out about this matter! Li Longji's chest continued to rise and fall, and he said angrily.
"Obey the order!" What Li Canghai wants is Li Longji's words, and with Li Longji's will, he can let go of his hands and feet and go all out to investigate Yang Guozhong.
Li Longji took a sip of ginseng tea, smoothed the depression in his chest, and said: "Aiqing, you still need to pay more attention to the secrets of these three major artifacts!" ”
"Your Majesty, rest assured, the minister will go all out to crack the secret of the three major artifacts." Li Canghai said seriously.
"This is a token to enter and exit the palace, if you find out anything, you can come and report it to me directly, no need to wait for Tongbing." As he spoke, Li Longji ordered Gaolishi to give him a jade token.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, the minister will live up to Your Majesty's trust!" After Li Canghai took the token, he saluted Li Longji.
Li Longji nodded, waved his hand, and said, "Okay, I'm a little tired, Aiqing retreat!" ”
Li Canghai held the token in both hands and slowly withdrew from the palace.
Out of the Huaqing Palace, it was already late at night, and the cold wind blew up snowflakes and raised a burst of bright ice crystals.
Li Canghai wrapped himself in a heavy leather coat, stepped on the snow, and walked into the distance.
And not long after Li Canghai left, a young chamberlain walked out of the Huaqing Palace.
After the chamberlain left Huaqing Palace, he walked straight towards a side hall.
In the side hall, Yang Guozhong was sitting by the fire, his face sinking like water.
Song Kun, the secretary of the Ministry of Works, paced back and forth in the room, looking out of the door from time to time, seemingly very anxious.
"My Lord Sangkoku! Things have come to this point, how can you still hold your breath and bake the fire here? The Holy Lord summoned Li Canghai alone, if Li Canghai told the Holy Lord about the soil and fertile plains, how would it be good? Song Kun said anxiously.
Yang Guozhong roasted his hands over and over, his cold eyes showed a fierce light, and said in a deep voice: "Don't panic, don't panic." Li Canghai is a smart man, and he knows that he can't deal with me at all with the matter of Tu Feiyuan, but will cause displeasure to the saints, so I guess he won't identify me in front of the saints. ”
Song Kun was slightly stunned, and said in surprise: "Why do you guess like this? ”
Yang Guozhong raised his head and said in a deep voice: "In the duel between masters, the victory or defeat is often only in an instant. In this instant, it's either a win or a loser. And what determines the success or failure of this moment is the ability accumulated over many years. Li Canghai is a shrewd person, if he wants to deal with me, he will definitely not act rashly, unless he finds conclusive evidence, so that I can't turn over completely, he should not expose me to the saint. After all, the Holy One's trust in me is far greater than his! ”
"That's what I said, but Li Canghai is no longer what it used to be! Now that he has made outstanding military achievements, he has been knighted by the Holy Lord, and the Holy Lord has obviously relied on him a lot. Song Kun sighed and scolded hatefully: "What is the origin of Li Canghai's house? will judge the case, not to mention, even lead troops to fight! originally wanted to eradicate him with the help of Dongying, but he didn't want to be self-defeating, but let him soar!
