The Royal Palace, the Imperial Study.

Li Deyi sat on the dragon chair with his eyes closed, and in front of him, there was an old man with a white beard and hair, who was more than half a year old, but his eyes were bright.

In the imperial study, there was silence. At least a moment later, Li Deyi slowly opened his eyes before he spoke quietly.

"Didn't you tell me that with Gong Ziqi's shot, you can guarantee that nothing goes wrong? But why did the prince of Bei Liang still return to Kyoto unscathed? ”

Li Deyi's tone was neither asking nor angry, as if he was saying something inconsequential.

But from Li Deyi's words, it is not difficult to hear that this Gong Ziqi is actually the person he sent to assassinate Chu Mo!

"Your Majesty, although this Gong Ziqi's cultivation fell sharply after that battle with the ministers, but at least there is also the cultivation of the realm of nine products, logically speaking, the assassination of this powerless Beiliang prince should be nine out of ten, but I didn't expect it to be a miss in the end, unless ......"

Returning to the sea, I want to say and stop.

"Unless this Beiliang prince is protected by a master by his side, alive, this Beiliang prince is not a simple person, this person may also be a master with a strong martial arts!"

Returning to the sea can only think of these two reasons now.

And after hearing the words of Guihai's knife, Li Deyi couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

"Your Majesty, maybe what Lord Guihai said is true, I wonder if Your Majesty still remembers the man in black who broke into the palace that night and night, and finally retreated in the midst of the Praetorian Guards?"

At this time, Li Si on the side spoke.

"I naturally remember, do you want to say that the man in black that night was the prince of Beiliang?"

Li Deyi said with a frown.

"Back to Your Majesty, the old slave has fought with the man in black, but he can't be sure, but there is one thing that the old slave can assert that the man in black that night looks like the prince of Beiliang in terms of body shape and other aspects."

"Your Majesty, do you remember who was the man in black who was the last to find him when he escaped from the palace?"

Lees continued.

"Wen Taishi's son, Wen Zijin."

Li Deyi said.

"Exactly! Your Majesty, think about it, except for the old slave, all the other Praetorian Guards who fought with this man in black basically died at his hands, but Commander Wen was only slightly injured, which is really intriguing. ”

"The martial arts of the man in black are not low, although he is not as good as the old slave, but the old slave can also feel it in the fight, this person must be the cultivation of the Nine Grades Realm. Commander Wen is only in the realm of the seventh grade, if a realm of the ninth rank wants to be a killer, how can he just suffer a slight injury? ”

The head of what Li Si said was the Tao.

And Li Deyi also fell into deep thought after listening to these words.

After a while, Li Deyi's words changed sharply and asked about returning to the sea.

"A knife, is there an eyebrow for the black market?"

Li Deyi is actually asking people to investigate the black market!

"Your Majesty, the mystery of the black market has passed out the imagination of the minister, the black market forces are intricate, which involves many other forces in the rivers and lakes, but one thing has been determined by the minister, twenty years ago, although the Beiliang Mansion was wiped out, but the 200,000 Beiliang army did not all die, and those who were lucky enough to survive in that battle are now in this black market!"

Return to the sea and a knife road.

"What! There is such a thing! ”

Li Deyi's face was full of disbelief at the moment.

……

In the early morning of the next day, the Jinluan Palace.

Two days have passed since the Zhongzhou War defeated Xichu, and the day after Li Chengwen and others returned to Kyoto, Li Deyi wanted to discuss meritorious deeds at the court meeting, but because Li Chengwen and Gu Haoqi were tired of this trip, they had to choose today.

Hundreds of civil and military officials gathered, and the voices of discussion in the Jinluan Hall were endless.

Not long after, as Li Si's sharp voice sounded, the moment Li Deyi walked into the Jinluan Palace, the ministers stopped talking.

went to the dragon chair and sat down, Li Deyi looked at the ministers below with a smile on his face.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

The crowd saluted respectfully.

Li Deyi waved his hand: "Zhong Aiqing is flat!" ”

After finishing speaking, Li Deyi nodded to Li Si on the side.

Li Si was instructed, took two steps forward, dusted his hands, and said: "Li Chengwen, the seventh prince of Xuan, the general Gu Haoqi, and Chu Mo, the prince of Beiliang, enter the palace!" ”

As soon as Li Si's voice fell, Li Chengwen, Chu Mo, and Gu Haoqi walked into the Jinluan Hall one after the other.

Under the watchful eyes of the ministers, the three of them came to the front of the main hall.

"See Your Majesty, long live long live long live!"

The three of them bowed.

"No need to be polite. This time, the Western Chu army invaded Zhongzhou in our court, and fortunately the three Aiqing led the troops to resist the enemy and made immortal contributions to our dynasty. ”

"I don't know what the three Aiqing want, even if I open my mouth, I will definitely meet the requirements of the three Aiqing as much as possible."

Li Deyi said with a smile.

"Your Majesty is serious, the minister is the generalissimo of the soldiers and horses of the Dawu Dynasty, the foreign enemy is coming, the minister is the first soldier, protect my Dawu country, and die with all his might!"

Gu Hao said with sincerity and fear.

Hearing this, Li Deyi nodded, then looked at Li Chengwen and said, "Seventh Prince, I don't know what you want?" ”

Li Chengwen hurriedly bowed his hand and said: "As the prince of Dawu, it is the duty of Erchen to protect my Dawu country, and Erchen does not dare to have any extravagance." ”

Hearing Li Chengwen's words, Li Deyi was also pleased.

In fact, how to reward in the end, Li Deyi already has a judgment in his heart, and today he asked in front of the ministers, Li Deyi is nothing more than to see what kind of conditions a few people will put forward under such an opportunity.

However, judging from the current performance of Gu Haoqi and Li Chengwen, Li Deyi is very satisfied.

Immediately after, Li Deyi's eyes looked at Chu Mo.

After announcing that Li Chengwen and Gu Haoqi entered the palace on the same day, Li Deyi asked about some of the events of the Zhongzhou battle, because Rao is Li Deyi couldn't understand why Nanqi would send troops to attack Western Chu at this critical moment.

And for this matter, the two naturally did not hide anything.

When Li Deyi learned that the dispatch of troops by Southern Qi was actually the credit of Chu Mo's envoy to Southern Qi, this made Li Deyi extremely surprised.

You must know that in the battle twenty years ago, the king of Beiliang died at the hands of the generalissimo of the Southern Qi soldiers and horses, and this enemy was very red when he saw him, but Chu Mo resolutely sent an envoy to the Southern Qi for the safety of Zhongzhou, which was risking his life.

If Nan Qi knew the identity of his Beiliang prince, how could they let go of the opportunity to cut the grass and eradicate the roots?

As for how Chu Mo said that he mobilized Southern Qi to send troops to attack Western Chu, Li Deyi didn't know, but from this point, Li Deyi could see Chu Mo's superiority.

This person is not as simple as it seems.

"Shizi, this time to be able to repel Xichu, the Shizi can be said to be indispensable, the king of Beiliang can have a son like you, presumably the spring has knowledge and can also be blind."

"Spread my will, Chu Mo, the son of Beiliang, has meritorious service in resisting the enemy, and rewards the Beiliang region to Chu Mo, as Chu Mo's fief, canonized Chu Mo to inherit the title of King of Beiliang!"
