He understood that this was Li Zenan's means of subduing himself, but the great gift given to him in this sentence was too tempting, so big that it was impossible for him to be disloyal.

He took a few steps back, then fell to the ground, not rising for a long time.

Li Zenan raised his head, looked at the sky, didn't say anything, and didn't feel that this worship was unnecessary.

He is Li Zenan, and he will soon be the emperor of the Northern Tang Dynasty, and what he needs is not to be blindly approachable, but also to maintain his majesty.

"Lord Long, what do you want to say here?"

"We've already heard," Long Jihe raised his head, his face slightly darkened, "General Yulin has gone to kill Guan Kuo. ”

The corners of Li Zenan's mouth hooked.

"I know I can't hide it from you."

"I didn't let him go," he said, "he went on his own, and he said that since the incident had happened, Guan Kuo had fled, and it was his own dereliction of duty, so he had to bring Guan Kuo back, or kill the other party, and he didn't quit me, but left a letter." ”

"That's because he's afraid we'll stop it." When he said these words, Long Jihe seemed to be a little uneasy.

Only then did Li Zenan paced to his approach, helped him up, and said, "Lord Long will not come here just to say this. ”

"I know Your Highness will soon find out what's out there, but before that, I decided to tell Your Highness earlier," Ryuyo stood up, "that's what all of us think. ”

Li Zenan probably realized that something very bad had happened, and couldn't help but straighten up a little and asked, "What's the news?" ”

"I don't know who is passing it," Long Hehe patted the dust on his body, "saying that Xue Zhao has been killed by Guan Kuo." ”

Li Zenan let out a chuckle.

"Lord Long, no matter what forces this source is, but how many of you will believe such a fluttering and nonsensical word?"

"We really don't believe it, it's just nonsense, even if there are any secret forces that are still unwilling to make any waves and cause a little trouble to His Highness, then it's just a small trouble, but Xue Zhao has been gone for too long, and he can even be said to be missing directly."

Li Zenan pondered for a moment before he said, "Indeed." ”

"If something really happens to Xue Zhao, he is young and promising, although it is a pity, but he can always get by, but what I am worried about now is that kind of impact, the people of Datang have a soft spot for Xue Zhao, if they sit back and watch such rumors run rampant, it will cause some chaos."

Li Zenan was silent for a while, and said: "Wait and talk about it, even if he can't kill Guan Kuo, he will always come back, it should be a little delayed on the way." ”

Long and silent silently, he understood that the current situation was not optimistic, of course, he couldn't say where the specific optimism was, it was just an intuition.

They talked to each other for a long time, and the dragon bowed back.

Chang'an has changed its appearance again, if it is still seen by Guan Kuo when Guan Qing and the government are in control, he will not know it at all.

In addition, there are some bits and pieces of rumors that are indeed spreading - Xue Zhao disappeared because he was killed by Guan Kuo.

No one knows where the source of the rumors came from, but they must not have a good heart, at least because of the Li Zenan regime.

Now it doesn't matter whether Xue Zhao was really killed by Guan Kuo, the important thing is that Xue Zhao's has indeed never come back - they were deceived in the past, and Xue Zhao has been dealing with the affairs of the Feather Forest all along.

Two days later, Xue Zhao did not return.

Three days later, Xue Zhao did not return.

Six days later, Xue Zhao still didn't come back.

Chang'an has really reached the level where rumors are spreading, and people are starting to panic.

That kind of uneasiness is very inexplicable, because what does Xue Zhao's death have to do with them? But it may be because they were proud of this first person of the young generation in the Northern Tang Dynasty, expecting him to reach the height of Qiujing Mountain in the future, because Southern Wu has Lin'an Gong Jin'an, if they don't have Xue Zhao, they will feel that they have lost a lot compared to their opponents.

Qiu Jingshan is missing, Li Xianyue has been "killed", if Xue Zhao has really been killed by Guan Kuo, if Southern Wu riots in the future, who else can resist the attack?

With Li Xianyue here, they can rest assured now, with Xue Zhao here, as long as they hold on for three or four years, four or five years, and wait for Xue Zhao to grow strong enough, they can rest assured, now......

Guan Qinghe, Qiu Jingshan, Li Xianyue, Xue Zhao...... Can one Li Zenan be supported?

It's really doubtful.

Those rumors rushed into the palace like a shock wave, making the monarch who was handling affairs under the flower and soon ascended the throne finally frowned, and his heart was very uneasy.

For him, Xue Zhao's death will have a great impact, but that's it, but it is a big taboo for the people to be in turmoil, he can't let the people of the Northern Tang Dynasty panic, he must find a way to stabilize as soon as possible.

It was rumored that Xue Zhao was dead, but that was just a rumor after all, and the authenticity needs to be investigated.

He stopped his pen and ink and tapped the wooden case with the knuckle of his index finger.

A ghostly black shadow was projected silently on the carved window, motionless.

"Send people to find Xue Zhao's traces, to see people alive, and to see corpses when dead." Li Zenan said in a steady voice.

The dark shadow faded slowly from the carved window, as if it had never arrived.

Li Zenan took out a handkerchief and gently wiped the place where the ink had just touched, as if he was thinking about something, and said softly:

"Xiyun, if something happens to Xue Zhao, then which one is more suitable to be your concubine......

……

……

Xue Zhao opened his eyes with difficulty, and the scene in front of him was very blurry.

He didn't know where he was now, but he felt that the scene he had just "seen" was vivid.

He "saw" a man carrying a knife to kill him again and again, and he kept repeating the dream.

He was not afraid of death before, not at all, he was a handsome young man who was so powerful that countless girls went crazy, but I don't know why, when he saw that person, at least he never knew what day, and then he fell into a dark dream, and he began to fear.

I am not afraid of death because I have not experienced anything and I have not met anyone.

That man destroyed his faith and made him wonder if what he was doing was right or wrong. Liability? Is what you say right, or is what the person is right, or is everything they saying wrong?
