When Li Siming rode to the gate of the palace, there were already a lot of blood stains on his clothes, but in the dark, these blood stains were not easy to see. It was at this time that Qian Ying happened to appear behind him, and Qian Ying at this time was completely different from the person who was talking to him just now, and now Qian Ying was completely like a bloody person, and there was almost no place on his body that was not covered with blood.

Li Siming was a little surprised, it stands to reason that Qian Ying is a phantom-level peak monk who is even more powerful than him, just killing a few people, there is no need to make such a mess, is he deliberately showing himself this, or is it to give Xingheng the impression that he is doing things seriously?

Facing Li Siming's gaze, Qian Ying explained with a chuckle: "People who want to kill you know that you are a strong cultivator, and it is not easy to kill you, and those who can be sent out are not miscellaneous fish." This is in Star City, it is not easy to kill them without using the power of artistic conception, domain, phantom, and divine wheel, do you think I am Zhang Ying?"

"In other words, Senior Zhang Ying is already strong enough to kill a phantom-level cultivator without using those abilities?"

Qian Ying stopped her voice and looked at Li Siming with a smile on her face: "Lord Li, there are some things that you shouldn't know, it's better to forget about them, so it's a good thing for you and me." Next, please go to the imperial study by yourself, Your Majesty has been waiting for you for a long time, and I will not accompany you anymore. ”

Li Siming nodded, dismounted, handed over his war horse to the guards guarding the palace gate to take care of, and set off into the palace.

According to what he saw, Li Siming estimated that there should not be a few people killed by Qian Ying tonight, and the blood of those killers could stain his clothes red, which would take at least dozens of people to do. Dozens of people, each of them should still be definitely not weaker than him Li Siming's illusion-level peak cultivator, like this...... It's a lot of fun.

Li Siming didn't think too much about why those nobles' subordinates had subordinates with ordinary strategic resources like phantom-level monks, and he didn't want to understand why these monks had already achieved phantom-level, but they still had to work hard for those nobles. If you want to do things for the emperor for wealth or status, wouldn't it be nice to be a shadow guard......? What's good, I don't know who gave them the guts to do these thankless things.

Li Siming was very relaxed along the way, and after receiving the letter from the Li family, his heart seemed to have put down a stone. Along the way, except for those killers who were hidden in the shadows to make him worry a little about His Majesty's plans, the rest of the time, he walked so easily. Ever since he learned about the plan of His Majesty Xingyao and His Majesty Xingheng, he had never been so relaxed, and that invisible pressure had been pressing his heart all the time, but now a letter turned everything into smoke. Of course, the more important reason is that this is the implementation of the steps in the plan for the Li family, and after dealing with the Li family, there is nothing to do with Li Siming in this plan. If it was the Chen family or the Lin family who had an accident this time, the pressure on him Li Siming might be greatly increased.

Thinking all the way like this, Li Siming had already walked to the imperial study in the palace. Walking up the stairs, Li Siming skillfully knocked on the knocker on the door.

The voice of conversation in the imperial study suddenly disappeared, and then Xingheng's voice came from it: "Si Ming, come in." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty. Li Siming nodded and gently pushed open the door of the imperial study.

Before him, in addition to Xingheng, there were already people who came to this imperial study. At this time, there were three people in the imperial study, one was naturally the emperor Xingheng of the Star Emperor Kingdom, and the identities of the other two were not very surprising to Li Siming, the Imperial Prime Minister Xingzheng and the Vice President of the Star Emperor Royal Academy, Xinglian, who was most likely to become the next Imperial Prime Minister, were all participants in the plan that year.

After entering the imperial study, he first saluted Xingheng, and then Li Siming found an empty seat and sat down at random.

After Li Siming sat down, Xingheng said, "Okay, everyone is here, let's get down to business." Regarding what happened over there in Changhe Pass, Xingzheng and Xinglian had just learned from me, and Si Ming also received a letter from the Li family in Hongyi City not long ago, which clearly stated that Li Siming wanted to go to Hongyi City to inherit the title of the Li family and serve as the city lord of Hongyi City......"

Speaking of this, the corners of Xingheng's mouth raised a faint smile, he folded his hands together, and said with a smile: "So far, the reaction of the Li family has not exceeded our expectations, and they really chose Si Ming as the head of the Li family. I don't know what Li Xinda thinks, I only know that the Li family's unowned person is the opportunity for us to implement Plan No. 2. ”

Everyone nodded, agreeing with Xingheng's statement. When they formulated their plans for the three border companies, they all made plans for several possible scenarios. For example, the Li family, they have formulated three plans for Li Xinda's natural abdication and handing over the head of the family to Li Siming, Li Xinda's accidental death and handing over the head of the family to Li Siming, and Li Xinda's choice to hand over the position of head of the family to Li Siyu. It can be said that now Li Xinda died in Changheguan and has already made a will to hand over the position of the head of the family to Li Siming, which greatly advanced this plan, originally according to Xingheng's plan, Li Xinda will need more than ten years to hand over the position of the head of the family no matter what happens, and even all the people involved in this plan are ready to do something to the three families on the border when Xinglie is in power.

"Let's not mention Li Xinda's thoughts for the time being, since Si Ming's succession to the position of head of the family is recognized by Li Xinda, then we can consider the specific treatment of the Li family. Now my thoughts are...... Due to the treason of Li Xinda, the head of the Li family, he took all the rights of the Li family in Hongyi City, and demoted the hereditary marquis title of the Li family to a hereditary earl......"

"Treason, Your Majesty, this is not a trivial matter!" Xingzheng's face changed drastically, and he hurriedly dissuaded, "Even if we want to find an excuse to reclaim the power of the Li family, we can't just find a crime!"

"I know, but I'm telling the truth. Xingheng shrugged and said, "Don't you all think that Li Xinda and Xuanyuan Hao's disappearance is very strange? I know best what kind of effect Yu'er's reversal of the universe has, but if you can reverse the attack of the Blazing Frost Throne back, Li Xinda and Xuanyuan Hao will naturally be able to resurrect, but until now, Li Xinda and Xuanyuan Hao have not shown up, which is enough to convict the two of them." In fact, if you think about it carefully, don't you think that the death of the two is a coincidence? Just now I had a communication with Master Xuanyuan, and I told Master Xuanyuan the truth about the situation of the two of them, and even Master Xuanyuan felt that there was a big problem in this. Now, Master Xuanyuan has gone to the Dragon King Empire to find out the reason for the disappearance of the two. However, regardless of the reason for their disappearance, there is absolutely no problem in condemning them as treason, and Master Xuanyuan has no objection in this regard. ”

"Are the two Phantom-level peak cultivators treasonous?" Xingzheng narrowed his eyes and unconsciously stroked his beard.

"If that's the case, wouldn't the punishment for the Li family be too light? We can take this opportunity to crush the entire Li family. Li Siming put forward his own suggestions.

"I'm afraid we can't be too ruthless against the Li family. Xinglian then expressed her opinion, "After all, the three families on the border are also grasshoppers on a rope, if they are too ruthless to the Li family, I am afraid that it will cause the other two families to be on guard." Moreover, Nian Zai Li has made great contributions to the empire, and he has only reduced the title to a hereditary earl, which will not make people's attention focus on the matter of the imperial court suppressing the three border families, at least we have to give most nobles a business-like image. As for destroying the entire aristocracy...... That was a plan to take over all the power at the border, and there was no hurry. ”

"What Xinglian said is exactly what I thought. Xingheng nodded, took out a blank edict from the desk drawer, and said to Li Siming, "Siming, you come to draw up other punishment plans for the Li family, this is what I promised you back then." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty. ”
