Chapter 81: The Reason
Li Zhilian held the fire fold and walked forward slowly, when suddenly something fell on her head, she raised the fire fold and looked up, it was pitch black
He lowered his head blankly and looked around, surrounded by white and yellow rocks, and there was nothing suspicious
"Knock~"
Li Zhilian felt that the fire was extinguished, could there be someone on it?
The crack is not big, and you can just climb up with your hands outstretched
It wasn't until her head touched the rock wall at the top and made sure there was no sound nearby that she lit the fire breaker again, and in front of her was a flat ground, and she climbed up, bending her waist and holding the fire breaker through a narrow rock crevice
The cold wind blew out her fire, and the glimmer of light shone on the flat ground, and she stood up, and in front of her was a man-wide hole, about four or five feet away
She lit the fire fold again, looked around, and suddenly she noticed a little blood on the ground, and she held the fire fold and followed the blood trail to the edge of a stone wall and disappeared, and there was no trace of it extending around
At this time, the stone wall in front of her slowly rotated, and Li Zhilian immediately blew out the fire and retreated to the edge of the stone wall, looking at the stone wall vigilantly
An old man walked in with a fire, and under the light of the fire, she saw the person's face clearly, and was stunned for a moment, it turned out to be Li Kun?
The cave was empty, and she unconsciously touched it, and the sound echoed through the hole
The old man slowly turned his head with the fire fold, and instantly came to her, looking at her fiercely for a long time before he took a breath and said, "It's you?" β
Li Zhipian looked at him, inhaling heavily, according to the speed of Li Kun's movement just now, if she wanted to kill her, she had no room to fight back
Li Kun slowly walked to the edge of the cave and said, "Those people below are looking for you?" β
Li Zhilian stood up, only to find that his legs and feet were a little weak, nodded and said, "They found out when I came."
Li Kun smiled: "You're here for Shen Zhitang, right?" β
Li Zhilian was stunned for a long time and said, "Yes~"
Li Kun smiled and said, "Don't worry, he's safe now"
Li Zhipian was taken aback and raised his head: "You asked him to come?" β
Li Kun sat on the ground and said, "It doesn't matter who asked him to come."
Li Zhipian looked at him in bewilderment
Li Kun blew out the fire fold: "According to the courtesy, you should call me uncle, you don't have to be so far away, I won't hurt you"
Li Zhilian walked up to him and sat down, I don't know if it was because the clothes were wet, she felt that it was a lot colder here
Li Kun sighed and said, "I didn't expect that the first one to find me was you."
Li Zhilian hurriedly replied: "I just hit by mistake"
Li Kun nodded: "Tell me what happened outside these days."
Li Zhilian told the murders that had happened in the past few days in detail, except for Lin Zhao's matter
Li Kun sighed and said, "It's me who can't stand Long Xiaowei's brothers."
Li Zhipian said: "They have relied on this mausoleum for the past twenty-five years, and their lives will definitely not be bad."
Li Kun smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I'm not talking about this, this story is very long, are you willing to listen to it?" β
Li Zhilian nodded
Li Kun said: "This has to start from more than fifty years ago, when the southern Xinjiang country was still surnamed Gao, and your imperial grandfather Li Meng was still dreaming about his plan to restore the country in the border of the host country, and one day a person surnamed Xiao found him and said that he could help him restore the country, and the condition was a piece of black jade of the Li family."
Li Zhilian hesitated: "Black jade? β
Li Kun nodded: "Your imperial grandfather Li Meng successfully ascended to the throne with the help of the Xiao family, he rummaged through the entire treasury, and he didn't find the piece of black jade that the Xiao family wanted, but the Xiao family retired without caring at all."
Li Zhilian asked: "Retired?" β
Li Kun nodded and said: "Hmm~ tens of thousands of troops, if you don't see it, you'll be gone."
Li Zhipian said: "What happened later? β
Li Kun smiled: "Later, that army became a thorn in your imperial grandfather's heart, he secretly set up an organization, called Yingwei, to investigate the Xiao family, and also asked your father to go to the Xiao family to marry the eldest lady of the Xiao family at that time, that is, your mother, on the grounds of repaying his kindness, and wanted to use this to break into the inside of the Xiao family, but he still couldn't find out anything."
"Later, it was still the first king of Dali Temple at that time, when investigating a missing person case, he found that someone was digging iron ore and forging weapons without authorization, and he was found to be a little suspicious by the shadow guard."
Li Zhilian asked, "Wang Yi?" But what about Mr. Wang? β
Li Kun nodded and continued: "Because of his work on state affairs and worrying about the Xiao family, his father's body is getting weaker and weaker, and one day he called me and your father into the palace and said that he had arranged a bureau."
Li Zhipian said: "This bureau took out a coup d'Γ©tat twenty-five years ago? β
Li Kun nodded and said: "I didn't have the heart to compete for the throne at that time, but I married Zhou Zhi at that time, and I invisibly got the support of most people in the court, and your father was not supported by the courtiers because he married the Xiao family, and your imperial grandfather took advantage of this and intensified the contradiction between our two brothers."
"That day, he summoned me into the palace, saying that he had found the whereabouts of the black jade, which was in the tomb of Yang Qihao, the god of war, and asked me to take Zuo Xiaowei to get it, and on the way he arranged a group of people to go to Jing'an City to suppress bandits."
Li Zhipian said: "So he chose to sacrifice you"
Li Kun shook his head and said: "At that time, almost all the military power was in my hands, and your father could only be forced to ask the Xiao family for help, sure enough, the Xiao family gathered 30,000 soldiers and horses in a short period of time and stationed them in Lining City, and there were 100,000 soldiers and horses stationed near Lining City at that time."
Li Zhipian said: "But you are still defeated?" β
Li Kuntou: "We should work together inside and outside, and all the 30,000 soldiers and horses of the Xiao family were wiped out, I was also seriously injured, and was rescued by a woman surnamed Xiao, we hid here for nearly half a year, after I got better, in order to repay the kindness, I have been protecting her from being taken away by the Xiao family."
Li Zhilian asked: "Is she Li Jianqing's mother?" β
Li Kun glanced sideways at her and said with a smile, "How did you guess?" β
Li Zhilian said: "I have diagnosed Zhou Zhi's pulse, she should have suffered a heavy injury to her abdomen when she was a child, and the chance of getting pregnant is almost zero, and the outside world is rumored to see Li Qing is your child, so I guess Li Jianqing should be your and someone else's child."
Li Kun shook his head slightly and said, "When I returned to Lining City again, Zhou Zhi had already become a virtuous concubine, and I could only take over as the leader of the shadow guard and continue to guard her."
Li Zhilian nodded
Li Kun continued: "Since then, the Xiao family has begun to disappear again, and it was not until the insect plague in Xisha County three years ago that a little trace of them was discovered."
Li Zhilian Zou frowned and said: "The Xilin City case three years ago was also yours?" β
Li Kun sighed: "After your father and emperor ascended the throne, I felt that the power of the Southern Xinjiang State alone was probably not enough to compete with the Xiao family, so I asked me to send the other three countries to lobby, the host country had noticed something as early as a hundred years ago, but they chose to seal the country, and the Northern Feng Emperor was extremely arrogant, and he couldn't communicate at all, only Lu Song, the prime minister of the Western Zhou Kingdom, reached a cooperation with us, but I didn't expect that three years ago, Situ Mo and Su Lie would choose to raise the power of a country to fight for us for these three years."
Li Zhilian asked, "What about Su Yun?" β
Li Kun said: "Situ Mo sent him to Lining City, just because he didn't want him to participate in it, let him stay in Lining City, and protect him in this life."
