Seeing that Li Jin had made up his mind, Pei Xiu couldn't help but be silent.

In terms of strategy, the king of Shu has endured humiliation for many years, and Taoguang has been obscure. On the surface, he seems to be the most unimpressive of the princes, but in fact, he is the most tolerant and ambitious.

Speaking of courage, five years ago, the imperial court went east to Goryeo, and the king of Shu led an army of 100,000 soldiers, and it took only three months to defeat Goryeo and surrender to the vassal state.

But even if the King of Shu is so good, he also has a fatal flaw: he is too dictatorial and intolerant.

Pei Xiu sighed in his heart, and had no choice but to retreat, "If Your Highness insists on killing Gao Yang, the minister has no objection, but before that, please ask Your Highness to allow the minister to go to see Gao Yang." ”

Li Jin glanced at him, "Are you going to find out where he learned the secret?" ”

Pei Xiu said, "Yes." ”

"Then you can go." Li Jin waved his hand. Since Pei Xiu offered to do things for himself, he naturally had no reason to refuse.

Pei Xiu got up, bowed, turned around and prepared to retreat.

"Wait a minute." Li Jin suddenly changed his mind at this time and shouted to stop him.

……

……

In Li Jin's body, there is a secret hidden.

A secret about his childhood and the monks who always stood behind him.

Li Jin was born in February.

On the day of his next life, the second brother, who had been ill for a long time, took his last breath and was only four years old.

It is said that children born in February cannot stay with their parents.

Therefore, only three days after Li Jin's birth, he was sent to Guoqing Temple by Emperor Yongping, who was still the crown prince at the time, and was raised by Dingguang Zen Master.

Temple. Monk.

These two words also became Li Jin's original cognition of the world.

Because women can't live in the temple, there are nurses to nurse Li Jin in swaddling clothes only during the day.

If it is night, you can only be fed some prepared goat's milk by Dingguang Zen Master to satisfy your hunger.

Li Jin stumbled and grew up in such an environment, and the first word he learned was not his father or mother, but "master".

Because of his special birthday, no one has ever told him who he really is.

It is believed that only when the child is completely ignorant of his or her parents can the life of the parent be truly saved.

Therefore, Dingguang Zen Master said to the outside world that Li Jin was a wild child he picked up on the side of the road when he went down the mountain to preach, and he did not know his biological parents.

This statement was reasonable and deceived everyone, and naturally it also deceived the young Li Jin.

In his opinion, the hard life in the temple is the essence of life, as for those silk satin and fine food spots donated to him by "well-wishers" during the New Year's holidays, they can only be regarded as the occasional splashes of his dry life, even if the rainbow blooms in the sun, it is just a fleeting light, fleeting.

In this way, Li Jin grew like a weed far away from the palace, playing with the children of nearby peasant families, shuttling between the mountains and wilderness every day, returning exhausted, happy and not sorrowful.

However, after all, even if the dragon is born in a pond, it cannot become a real fish after all.

Young fashion can be hidden, but as Li Jin grows older, the clues that pop up from time to time still make him suspicious of his life experience.

So before the Shangyuan Festival at the age of ten, Li Jin had a lot of thoughts, and hid in the closet in Dingguang's room in advance to eavesdrop, and finally got a clear idea of the ins and outs of the future in the conversation between Dingguang and the "pilgrims".

The moment he learned the truth, Li Jin couldn't tell what kind of feeling he had.

was both happy and sad, as if he suddenly floated in the clouds, but he was injured by the thunder that fell one after another.

Li Jin lay in the closet and shed tears silently.

He hated these "pilgrims", hated the emperor and queen who was far away in Chang'an City, and even hated Dingguang Zen Master who said that he was an orphan.

He hated only to rush out now, hack all the people in the room to death, and then fly away alone, to a place where no one could find him for the rest of his life.

Li Jin fell asleep in such monstrous hatred and tears.

In his sleep, he seemed to hear the sound of Dingguang Zen Master sending away those "pilgrims", and he instructed them to persuade the prince to take the ten-year-old Xiaojun Wang back to Chang'an as soon as possible.

Hesitating in his dream, Li Jin felt that the door of the wardrobe seemed to be opened. A pair of large rough palms stroked his forehead and said something, then he was taken out of the closet, walked for a while, and laid him lightly on the bed. He took off his shoes and socks and covered him with a quilt.

The next day, Li Jin woke up, and the world returned to normal.

He acted as if he had never been in the closet to eavesdrop, and Dingguang Zen Master was as usual as if he did not know that he had been hiding in the closet and eavesdropping.

But what's the difference?

For example, he began to be irritable, began to hate poverty, began to be suspicious of everyone, and began to admire strength.

He knew that there were twelve peerless martial arts masters in the Guoqing Temple, their skin was as hard as copper and iron, and they were invulnerable, and there were very few people in the world who could match them.

He didn't care about it before, but now he felt that if these twelve people could come to protect him, then when he returned to Chang'an in the future, he wouldn't have to worry about who would frame him.

It's a pity that these twelve people only obey the orders of Dingguang Zen Master, and Li Jin doesn't believe in Dingguang. He knew that even if he expressed to his master that he hoped that they would be able to use it for himself in the future, Dingguang Zen Master would never agree.

So Li Jin suppressed this thought and didn't say anything, and continued to pretend to be calm, waiting for time to pass in a hurry.

In the blink of an eye, it was another three years.

This year, Li Jin was thirteen years old, the old emperor died, the new emperor ascended the throne, changed the Yuan Yongping, and granted amnesty to the world.

Zen Master Dingguang also played again, begging the emperor to summon the third prince Li Jin back to Chang'an and give him the rights and honor he deserved as a prince.

This time, the emperor did not refuse again.

The edict was soon sent to the Guoqing Temple. In the holy decree, the emperor announced that Li Jin, who was only eleven years old, was the king of Shu, and ordered Pei Qin, the marquis of Xin'an, to personally lead more than 10,000 people to take the king of Shu back to Chang'an, and the pomp stretched for ten miles, all the way to the foot of the mountain where the Guoqing Temple was located.

But Li Jin was not satisfied, and worried.

He was about to go to a strange place, and he was afraid that he would not be able to protect himself in the new environment and be bullied.

Thinking of this, Li Jin couldn't help but start to play the idea of the twelve masters in the Guoqing Temple again.

But he didn't want to discuss with Dingguang, for fear that he would be rejected.

After thinking about it, Li Jin came up with a plan, which later became the biggest mistake he made in his life.

He killed Dingguang Zen Master.

Thirteen-year-old boy kills, in the final analysis, he is still a little unskilled.

When he stabbed him for the first time, Dingguang did not die, but walked towards him with his wounds covered, looking at him with a compassionate gaze, as if he had something to say.

Li Jin was anxious and afraid, and was about to escape, but he ran into Pei Qin, who came to find him.

Pei Qin understood the reason at a glance. He knew that Zen Master Dingguang was highly respected and had prestige among the people, and if this matter came out, he was afraid that it would be unfavorable to the three princes.

Thinking that after all, he was the commander who was ordered to take the three princes back to Chang'an this time, and it was a matter of the future, Pei Qin immediately decided to help Li Jin kill Dingguang and disguised it as an assassination, so that everyone thought that it was Dingguang Zen Master who blocked the knife for Li Jin, so he died.

With Pei Chin's help, things went much smoother.

The blood-stained knife stabbed into Dingguang's chest with unmistakable precision this time.

Without giving him a chance to speak, Pei Qin only pushed him so lightly, and the old monk fell straight back and fell into a pool of blood.

In the next few days, Pei Qin was busy tracking down the "murderer", and Li Jin forged a "will" of Dingguang, ordering the twelve martial arts masters of Guoqing Temple to go down the mountain with him, protect each other, and never betray or leave.

Everything finally got what it wanted.
