Chapter 592: The Old Man (2)
When Li Qitian heard that a "monk" claiming to be an "old man" asked to see him, his heart was full of suspicions. In the whole world, it seems that there is only one monk who can not be afraid of the power of his son of heaven and dare to call himself an old man to ask to see him.
Li Qitian's expression couldn't hide his anxiety, "What kind of token do you say, take it to me!" ”
"Yes." Seeing that Li Qitian was in a hurry, the guards hurriedly presented a brocade box.
opened it, and there was a jade pendant in the brocade box, with the familiar bamboo pattern and moist color, which made Li Qitian stand up abruptly and said angrily: "Quick! Catch that old thing for me! ”
The guards were trembling with fright from Li Qitian, hurriedly saluted, and rushed out in a hurry.
This jade pendant was given to Tianjizi by him after Tianjizi helped him and Xiao Xiao and Ji Zeyu approve the order. At that time, the approval had been in Li Qitian's heart for many years, he was not the Ziwei Emperor Star, and this matter had always made him angry.
In fact, he had murderous intentions towards Tianjizi back then.
Although he gave the jade pendant in person, behind his back, he immediately ordered someone to hunt down Tianjizi.
It's just that Tianjizi is like a loach that can't slip its hands, and it can't be caught.
At first, there was some news about Tianjizi below, and he immediately ordered someone to chase him, but every time he was in vain. Later, after he ascended the throne, Tianjizi disappeared without a trace, and who knew that she would appear again, and she had already taken refuge in Tatar.
Li Qitian had made up his mind that he must put Tianji to death, and since he ordered someone to chase him out quickly, Li Qitian has been frowning coldly, and his face is extremely displeased.
Li Qitian's abnormal appearance was clearly seen by the people present. Even the Queen Mother didn't dare to say much, and slowly put down the ivory basket.
Li Qitian saw that everyone was looking at him, so he said, "Tianjizi appeared outside the palace gate. I've ordered someone to arrest him as soon as possible. Previously, reliable sources learned that Tianjizi had taken refuge in Utkin Khan, and was bent on Tatars, and this time she dared to appear in front of her in front of the Empress Dowager's birthday, which was clearly a plot. ”
"That's what the Holy One said." Then the nobles and courtiers echoed, "Tianjizi monk is not a monk, he is really a traitor, Tatar is eyeing my Great Zhou, Tianjizi must be here to listen to the information!" ”
"He doesn't have to expose himself anymore. Weichen felt that she must have a big conspiracy. ”
Under Li Qitian's attention, everyone in the courtiers was very indignant, and carried out the most malicious speculation about the arrival of Tianjizi.
Li Qitian listened to everyone's discussions, but he was very confident in his heart.
He didn't believe it, under his nose in the imperial city, Tianjizi still had the ability to escape!
In the midst of everyone's discussions, no one noticed Qin Yining and Xiao Xiao's faces changed slightly at first.
They glanced at each other, and they all remembered the note they had received a few days ago.
Tianjizi reminded Xiao Xiao, "Living in peace in the house can keep you safe."
But now that they were ordered to attend the Holy Birthday Banquet, they had to leave the house and go to the palace.
If what Tianjizi said really meant. Could they have fallen into a trap now?
Tianjizi is cautious and treacherous, and idlers can't guess it. Since she dared to show up, she had no fear, and she was sure that they would not be able to catch anyone. They don't think that Li Qitian can catch the heavenly opportunity. What Qin Yining and Xiao Xiao are most worried about is that they are now in a trap and don't know it.
The Queen Mother looked at the clansmen who were no longer thinking about celebrating her birthday, and then looked at Li Qitian, who was only concerned about arresting Tianjizi and even ignoring her holy birthday, and the unhappiness in her heart could only be suppressed helplessly.
The Queen Mother still has to count on Li Qitian for the rest of her life, how dare she make Li Qitian unhappy at this time? It's just that as a mother, her birthday was first stirred up by her daughter, and then ignored by her son, and her heart was difficult to settle.
Just when everyone was thinking and waiting anxiously, there was a sudden sound of footsteps outside, and I saw the guards in front of Li Qitian, kneeling on the ground and saluting, holding an envelope with both hands.
"Holy Lord, when the minister went out, the monk was already gone. Only this letter remained. ”
Li Qitian stared at the letter paper, and gritted his teeth angrily. In my heart, I had already scolded Tianjizi for making trouble.
He was worried about the poison on the letterhead, so he ordered: "Li Guanwen, read it to me." ”
Li Guanwen smiled bitterly in his heart, but his face was calm and calm, with an awe-inspiring look of seeing death as home, "The slave obeys the order." ”
Bowing forward, he took the envelope with both hands, carefully tore it open, and pulled out the thin page inside, unfolding it neatly.
As soon as Li Guanwen saw the words on it, he hesitated a little: "Saint? ”
Seeing this, Li Qitian also knew that the content of the letter must be unusual, and seeing that Li Guanwen was not poisoned, he waved at Li Guanwen.
Li Guanwen stepped forward and gave the letter to Li Qitian.
Li Qitian lowered his eyes and was immediately shocked by the short twelve words on the letterhead.
snatched the letter paper and read it carefully, Li Qitian's expression became more and more unpredictable.
The nobles present all looked at the saint's reaction curiously.
What's on the letter?
After a long time, Li Qicai snorted. Throwing the letter to Li Guanwen: "Read." ”
When Li Guanwen heard this, he immediately received the order, and the hoarseness that belonged to the inner servant was very rhythmic with some sharp and high-pitched voices: "Yan Dragon Vein, at the bottom of the mountain, September 9, golden light appears." ”
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but look at each other.
Even the Queen Mother, who was depressed in her heart, was attracted by this sentence on the note.
"Ladies and gentlemen, what are your opinions?"
A clan relative said: "Holy Lord, the minister thinks this matter is impossible. What is Mt. Zangshan? That place is not far from our Kyoto City, which is the place where the tombs of the emperors of the Northern Hebei Kingdom are located. The Great Yan Dynasty was located in the south, how could the dragon vein of their country appear in the imperial tomb of the former Northern Ji Kingdom? ”
Another humane: "Perhaps, that dragon vein refers to the treasure of the Yan Dynasty?" ”
"It's even more ridiculous."
"yes, it's impossible."
Everyone here knew that Li Qitian had ordered people to surround the area around the hard-hit area where the earth dragon had turned over, and he was still rummaging for the whereabouts of the treasure inch by inch. And they can also be sure that the treasure must be hidden there, and under Li Qitian's close surveillance, it is impossible for the treasure to be quietly transported to the capital.
How could the treasure that should be near the old capital of the Great Yan Dynasty appear in the imperial tomb of Northern Hebei?
"But wasn't there a rumor a while ago that the treasure appeared in the capital?" Someone asked again.
The courtiers began to discuss the matter.
Most people don't believe that the treasure will be hidden in the imperial tomb of the Northern Hebei Kingdom.
But some people think that there is no wind in the ground, and the rumors that appeared a while ago about the treasure in the capital must be traceable, maybe it is really hidden in Zhengshan.
Li Qitian listened to these people's discussions, and did not immediately express his position, taking in everyone's expressions, and then raised his eyebrows and looked at Xiao Xiao: "Xiao Zhixi, you can talk about it." ”
