Chapter 102: Persuade the prince and break the barriers
Lizheng Palace.
Chen Yi's heart sank, the first drum sounded, and after three drums, the Lizheng Hall opened...... His Royal Highness the Crown Prince knew that he was coming, did he do this on purpose, leaving only half an hour for himself?
In Xiling Taoist Sect, retreat in the Sanqing Pavilion.
Chen Yi received a letter.
It was written by Miss Pei Lingsu.
The letter described in detail her efforts in the past three years...... And the most recent one.
The location of "Ning Yi" was confirmed.
If you say that in this world, Chen Yi still has some friends who can put aside their identity as a Taoist sect, and they can also drink tea and chat together, regard each other as confidants, and will not give up on each other in times of adversity.
Then Ning Yi must be one of them.
Maybe maybe even the only one.
The time of being "confined" in the Sanqing Pavilion was in a long and boring "retreat".
Chen Yi tried hard to recall the memory that was erased when he stayed in Tiandu. It's a pity that most of the archives are blank, and no matter how you think about it, you can't recall it.
But the quiet environment, the best for thinking.
In his mind, in the past three years, he has actually vaguely guessed some approximations.
It can't be said to be the truth, but it's close to the truth...... He was not ignorant of the existence of another soul in his body, because since he left the Heavenly Capital and lived in Sanqing Pavilion, he had always felt that he was missing something in his body.
It's like something dies, passes away, and becomes a fragment between cause and effect.
Everyone wants to know the truth about the "Tiandu coup".
Chen Yi is no exception.
Everyone wants to find "Ning Yi".
Chen Yi is no exception.
And he came to Tiandu, arrived at the palace, and was about to step into the Lizheng Palace, just for this matter.
And it is different from Liuli Mountain in the east, Xiaowuliang Mountain in the west, and many of the forces that have taken over the grudge with Ning Yi...... Chen Yi has to do more than just find Ning Yi.
More importantly, save Ning Yi.
......
......
Chen Yi put his hands on his chest and walked slowly.
His thoughts were slow and condensed, today, the person who wants to see "Ning Yi" the most is the prince, if he can be sure that the "drama" that the prince is most willing to see is staged in the imperial mausoleum, His Majesty Taizong has died.
Then the world is in harmony and ascends to the throne of the true dragon, and the prince has completed the most important move in his life.
Meet Ning Yi and confirm the truth...... This process can be very bloody or very peaceful, it all depends on the prince's ideas.
If Ning Yi was in the Great Sui, then not only Chen Yi, but everyone would see the attitude of the prince, but the person to be found was located at the other end of the inverted hanging sea...... But judging from the previous search, it seems that the prince does not want to use the greatest malice against "Ning Yi".
Chen Yi's trip looks like persuasion, but in fact it is more like a gamble.
Bet that the prince is willing to "save" Ning Yi.
Saving and finding, the difference between one word is very different.
Chen Yi's thoughts became more and more depressed, and he tried to connect his thoughts and thoughts on the road, and in the next time, he completed all the things he wanted to express.
But a voice came first.
"Yi. β
The prince's voice was much thicker than it was three years ago.
He no longer had to pretend to be weak, he just sat at the top of the Lizheng Palace, lowered his eyebrows, and reviewed the bamboo slips, and there were not many books stacked on the table, which could not cover his face.
Li Baijiao's expression was a little tired, it seemed that his body was not good, and it was indeed not a good thing to sit for a long time and deal with politics...... But since he "came to power", most things need to be dealt with, and if he wants to firmly hold power in his hands, he has to pay such a price.
But Li Baijiao's eyes did not show the slightest haggardness, for these things, he was not disgusted, on the contrary, he liked the tiredness brought by this kind of power, the more tired the body, the more energetic the spirit, perhaps because of the blessing of the blood of the Great Sui royal family, his spirit is getting better and better.
The crown prince stopped what he was doing, looked at the Pope with a smile, and said.
"Sit. β
Two openings, with slight pauses, were only one word.
Concise.
Chen Yi felt a sense of oppression from the young man sitting at the top of the Lizheng Palace.
Haven't ascended the True Dragon Throne yet.
But there is already the atmosphere of the master of the Great Sui.
In the main hall, a place was reserved for him.
Chen Yi sat down honestly, and after sitting down, he had to raise his head in order to see Li Baijiao's face with difficulty.
All the ideas that had been condensed before were disrupted.
He was just about to speak.
Li Baijiao said calmly: "Before the chaos in the Tiandu, I invited a very important person to help, that person came from all the way from the north, and finally slashed a knife in front of the Lotus Pavilion, if it weren't for that knife, there would be no you and I meeting today." β
Chen Yi pursed his lips, most of the events of the coup d'Γ©tat in Tiandu were blocked by the top personnel of the three divisions, reviewed by the prince himself, and put into the Taiqing Pavilion.
He looked confused.
The crown prince looked at Chen Yi.
Li Baijiao wanted to see something different from Chen Yi's eyes...... The Pope lost his memory in the Tiandu Chenglong Palace, and he spent three years trying to test it in the Sanqing Pavilion, even now, he is still not at ease.
Chen Yi frowned and asked softly, "Yes...... Shen Yuan-kun?"
This is a normal reaction.
That person isn't hard to guess.
The crown prince hummed softly, "As a reward for asking him to make a move, I promised him to give him enough strength, not just power...... There is also an army, and more status, so in the past three years, Shen Yuanjun's reputation and prestige in the Great Wall of the North have become more and more great, and Tiandu has sent a large number of military funds, treasures, spiritual objects for cultivation, and formation talismans to the Great Wall of the North. β
Chen Yi was a little confused.
He didn't know why the prince was saying this to himself.
"Now, the young cultivators of the Holy Mountain, after reaching the middle realm, will go to the Great Wall in the north, and these young people are fighting and fighting in the 'Gray Land Realm', there is no doubt about it...... They will become a powerful practical faction of the Great Sui and the mainstay of the future. The crown prince smiled and said, "Of course, this is a good thing, if they are willing to return to the Holy Mountain instead of continuing to stay in the north." β
Chen Yi's pupils constricted.
He had already guessed what the prince meant.
In the past three years, Li Baijiao has been regaining power, and the western border and Zhongzhou have been suppressed, and the same is true for southern Xinjiang...... The only two places that have not been moved, one is the eastern border where the second prince is located, and the forces led by Liuli Mountain have taken root in the group, and the other is the "Great Wall of the North" where Shen Yuanjun is the master.
The Eastern Realm is no longer a thorny problem, the Three Holy Mountain Alliance has gradually distanced itself from Liuli Mountain, and it belongs to the Eastern Realm on the surface, but in fact, it is already a sword of Tiandu, and it can stab Li Baijing at any time.
And the implication of the prince's words just now ...... It's that the power of the north is getting bigger and bigger, and it's gradually impossible to get back.
Chen Yi's lips were a little dry, and he looked at the crown prince above the Lizheng Palace.
What does that mean?
The prince spoke slowly, "You may not believe it when you say it...... On the first day I stepped into the Lizheng Palace, I didn't go to review the book and read the books here...... Two thousand years ago, there was a powerful 'king of the northern realm' in the Great Sui, who defeated the co-lord of the four realms of the demon clan at the end of the Great Wall, and the king of the northern realm rode into the heavenly capital alone and was crowned as the emperor, but unfortunately this title was too short, and it didn't take long for him to die, and there was no clear cause of death recorded in the Tiandu library. β
Li Baijiao smiled.
Chen Yi silently clenched his fists.
He could hear that this was talking about the "Lionheart Emperor", who died in the rebellion of the new emperor after winning the demon clan.
"At the beginning of the Great Sui, the situation was also very turbulent, there was no successor in Zhongzhou Tiandu, power was dispersed, and when King Lionheart returned to the capital, he easily cut off the heads of the 'opponents'. Li Baijiao's expression became serious, he looked at Chen Yi, and said indifferently: "I know what you are thinking, why should I gather so much power...... Because there are countless people under me who covet me, and if I am not strong enough, then I will be beheaded by the pretenders. β
"Everybody in this position, that's what they do. The crown prince looked at Chen Yi and said seriously: "I gave Shen Yuanjun three years, if he wants me to feel at ease, he should refuse too much power to prove his loyalty." β
The Pope looked at the Dauphin.
There was already a cold sweat oozing from the back.
"You and I both know that with the formation of the Emperor of Light, coupled with the repair of the Great Wall in the north, the demon clan will never be able to enter the highlands of the Great Sui, and the deployment of combat power in the north does not require unlimited investment. Li Baijiao said with a smile: "If he always reminds himself how much power he should have at hand, then things will be much easier...... That's what I'm trying to tell you. Chen Yi, whether it is the northern realm, or the Taoist sect, or the Lingshan, it is all the same, it is enough to get some benefits from Zhongzhou, you must know satisfaction, you must know...... When the moon is full, it loses. β
Chen Yi looked at the prince with a trance.
The prince knew what he was talking about.
The crown prince knew Ning Yi's whereabouts.
Prince...... Knowing everything.
"I searched all over the Great Sui, but I couldn't find that person...... He must be in the demon clan, only in the demon clan. The prince looked at Chen Yi, condescending, and said calmly: "You want to come to tell me the news, let me guess...... Did Purple Mountain Pei Lingsu tell you? So...... You should know a certain exact location. β
The prince pressed his hands on the table, and he said slowly: "Xu Qingyan left from the Tiandu and went to the Purple Mountain Wind and Snow Plain, presumably to save Ning Yi. β
He narrowed his eyes slightly.
"They failed, so they wanted to come to me. β
The prince smiled: "I want him to go back to Dasui, but now there is only one way left in the 'Gray Land Realm'...... You want to use the power of the north to rescue Ning Yi from the demon clan?"
Chen Yi pressed his hands on his knees, his knuckles trembling slightly.
He pursed his lips and looked at the prince in disbelief.
Guessed it all.
