Kannai, Hokshoji Temple.

This little-known town is so small that it is an extravagant hope to even be marked on the map. Many people have never heard of this place in their entire lives.

However, because Ashina Jin set up the headquarters of the Turkic army here, it was fortunate to enter the eyes of those Shengtang heavyweights.

However, it is a pity that such a weighty attention only lasted for a short time, and with the later relocation of the Turkic Khan to the imperial capital, Beizhao Temple became obscure again.

Now, the foreign enemy has been wiped out, the imperial capital has been restored, and the entire Guanzhong Plain has returned to the hands of the Holy Tang Dynasty, and all parts of the Guannai have regained their vitality. However, Beizhao Temple still does not see a single person, and the lonely appearance is like a ghost domain.

The reason behind this is also very simple. Most of the people who used to live here fled the war and went to other places. The rest of them didn't make it, and they were all captured by Ge Shuxuan to be poisonous monsters.

Elsewhere, at most, because of the scourge of the Turks, they have become empty. And this place is ten rooms and ten empty, and there are various versions of horror stories circulating, and no one wants to come at all.

Under the deep night, Beizhao Temple is silent, only a few poignant night owls occasionally break through the endless darkness.

However, in a town that should be inaccessible, a light suddenly flashed in a house in the middle of it, which looked particularly strange from a distance.

In the room where the light was faint, an emaciated figure wrapped in a black robe muttered to the huge wooden cage in the corner.

"Khan, this is the last time I take medication. As long as you survive tonight, you're done! But if you can't make it...... Hmph, the minister also let you live in the world for a hundred more days, it's worth it. ”

The person who spoke was precisely because of the ingestion of the marrow beads, which caused his body to be alienated into a demon, and in the wooden cage in front of him, it was actually the Great Khan of the Turkic Empire - Ashina Zhijin!

At this moment, Ashina's body no longer has the elegant and majestic kingly demeanor of the past, but has become an ugly appearance of a half-human and half-ghost.

That look, it's clearly a poisonous soldier!

"Why? Brother Shuxuan, why?! Ashina roared: "Why are you doing this to me!" ”

A cold smile appeared on Ge Shuxuan's face full of bruises and scars: "Great sweat, until today, don't you understand the reason?" Or are you still pretending to be confused with me? ”

Ashina was so stimulated by the toxins in his body that he trembled, and saliva couldn't stop dripping down the corners of his mouth. He was in great pain, desperately trying to break free from the chains that bound him, but the chains were so strong that no matter how hard he tried, he could not shake them in the slightest.

"Brother Shuxuan, what did you do to me?! I'm going to kill you! ”

"Save some effort, it's useless." Ge Shuxuan said faintly: "Great Khan, do you know who I admired the most before? It's you, the king of the Turkic Empire, the first warrior of the Golden Clan, Ashina Zhijin! I respect you, trust you, follow you, and I am willing to give everything for you! Even if it is to sacrifice my life, as long as it can help you reach the top of the world and win eternal glory for the Turks, I have no regrets. But you've let me down. You have reneged on your promises to the Turks, you have turned your back on your clansmen and soldiers, and you have become a fool! A coward! ”

"Fart! You fart! What qualifications do you have to judge me! I don't know if it's the effect of the drug, or the stimulation of Ge Shuxuan's words, Ashina is even more crazy and irritable than before, and keeps roaring.

Ge Shuxuan smiled coldly: "You don't admit it? Ridiculous, to this day you don't dare to admit your mistakes? Great Khan, please answer me, where did Tanley, Hesijia and Yun Qianxue go? I, the seven elders of the Ghost Dou Clan, the four generals, and the sixty-five thousand one hundred and nineteen warriors, came to the Holy Tang with you, and all of them died in battle! None of them will be able to return to their hometowns, but why did your son, daughter, and son-in-law go back? ”

"We followed you, across the Yakutia steppe, over the Bellund Mountains, through the vast Gobi Desert, all the way to here. Whether it is the people of Western Xinjiang or the Shengtang people, they all knelt in front of our war horses and trembled, and even the great imperial capital became our trophies. But in the blink of an eye, everything changed. Why, hundreds of thousands of brave and loyal Turkic warriors, were mercilessly besieged by the enemy in the Weinan Plain, while you, hiding in the palace of the Holy Tang people, were indifferent? Why, at the moment of the survival of the empire, did you not choose to fight bravely and pay tribute to the souls of the heroes with the blood of the enemy, but decided to disgrace the entire Turkic Turks by self-judgment? Why? My Great Khan? ”

At this time, Ashina's consciousness had already begun to fall into a state of chaos, and he couldn't hear Ge Shuxuan's words clearly, let alone respond, just screaming in pain and struggling in vain.

Ge Shuxuan stared at him quietly, and said to himself: "Fortunately, I shot in advance that day and controlled you with poison, so I didn't let you die in the fire in vain." With your martial arts cultivation, you are enough to become the most powerful poison soldier in the world, and you can be regarded as making the last contribution to the Turkic Empire. ”

As he spoke, he took out a small bottle of soul sand from his arms, and sneered while diluting it in a bowl with a special medicinal solution: "We have to hurry up, otherwise we won't be able to catch up with that grand wedding in the capital of God." ”

-

"Wei Xiang, you said before that Murong Xue would definitely not agree," Gong Chengze said with a little dissatisfaction: "But now? People are about to get married. Let that kid be a colt, and you'll have to crush me again. ”

Wei Zixuan sneered: "What are you panicking about? Do you think it's a good thing to marry that seventh princess? In the future, he Murong Xue will have a headache. ”

Gong Chengze was suddenly curious: "What, there are other ways here?" ”

Wei Zixuan smiled and looked to the other side: "Lao Tian, you tell Cheng Ze so that he can feel at ease." ”

When Tian Mu, the imperial historian, heard this, he said unhurriedly: "Li Xi, as the sister of the anti-king Li Kui, the two grew up together since childhood, and their feelings are very deep. On the surface, she was on the side of the court and broke off the relationship with her brother, but in reality? In private, he has always maintained secret correspondence with Li Jiong. Even ......"

Gong Chengze was stunned: "Or even what?" ”

"Even, I suspect that she is Li Kui's eyeliner in the court." Tian Muyin said compassionately.

Yin Chengyi, the Metropolitan Governor sitting on the other side, was also a little surprised: "Such an exaggeration? Does the emperor know? ”

Without waiting for Tian Mu to speak, Wei Zixuan said quietly: "When it is time for Your Majesty to know, you will know." ”

Hearing this, Yin Chengyi and Gong Chengze suddenly realized, and an ambiguous smile appeared on each other's faces.

Princess Fenyang, who has a special identity and a secret behavior, is simply an excellent bait and trap, and only by trapping someone in will they go to the emperor to reveal the answer.

And that person, at first, was Li Jiangyao, but now it has been replaced by Murong Xue.

Gong Chengze gave a thumbs up, and the thief smiled: "It's still Wei Xiang's mastery, and the brothers didn't follow the wrong person." Come to think of it, Tian Daren already has tangible evidence, right? ”

Tian Mu replied proudly: "General Gong, without the diamond diamond, how dare Tian do that porcelain work?" Princess Fenyang's handle was enough for her to go with Li Jiong to see Lord Yama. ”

Yin Chengyi stroked his beard and pondered: "Since this is the case, then you should make good use of it." Is it possible to use this to blackmail Li Xi and ask her to do something for us? ”

"That's exactly what Wei Xiang meant." Tian Mu said with a smile: "Just on the charge of fornicating against the king and rebels, at most you can only put the princess in prison, but you can't even affect the newlywed concubine." Wei Xiang and Xia Guan considered letting Li Xi play a more role, and he must pull Murong Xue into the water together. Only in this way can the political enemies of the DPRK and China be cut off. ”

Gong Chengze added: "And that old ghost Dong Tianxing!" One him, one Murong Xue, and Shen Lie who was lying in prison waiting for death, if these three people don't get rid of them, the court will never be able to have the final say. ”

Wei Zixuan bowed slightly: "Cheng Ze is right. Murong Xue and Shen Lie once supported the emperor to ascend the throne, with great merit and high status, and Dong Tianxing, the old guy, has also risen rapidly in the past two years and has won His Majesty's appreciation. They are always and everywhere against us, and it is truly hateful. However, things have to be taken one step at a time. Get rid of Shen Lie first, then try to kill Murong Xue, and finally there is one Dong Tianxing left, and it will be okay to get him whatever you want. ”

"Speaking of Shen Lie, it's really a bit troublesome." Tian Mu snorted coldly: "The emperor seems to be very afraid of him, and he has not issued an order to punish him until now. ”

Yin Chengyi said: "It's no wonder. The first emperor has reigned for more than 20 years, and Shen Lie has been in charge of the Northern Ya Reverse Scale Division, and the foundation of the vein is too deep. Many ministers in the court, even including the emperor himself, couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive when they mentioned Shen Lie. If you let the emperor use the thunderbolt method on Shen Lie now, I'm afraid it will be very tangled. ”

"There is another important reason," Wei Zixuan said lightly: "It's that the secret file is still missing." If you don't find it, Your Majesty will never take Shen Lie as such. ”

"Then we're just going to drag it out like this, letting him find a chance to turn over?" Gong Chengze was a little confused.

Tian Mu waved his hand: "You must not let Shen Lie turn over!" Guys, you all know that, right? If Shen Lie escaped this catastrophe, he would definitely take revenge. At that time, not to mention a few of us, even our parents, wives and children, and relatives, I'm afraid none of them will survive! ”

The words of the current director of the anti-scale department are by no means a joke. Although Shen Lie is no longer the head of the Reverse Scale Division, who knows how many outlaw Reverse Scale Driver spies are still loyal to him?

The ruthless-hearted living Hades has engaged in a few tragic cases, just like playing.

But the question is, who of the four people here can afford to play with Shen Lie?

Yin Chengyi frowned, and said in a deep voice: "No, we have to come up with a proper way to make him never turn over!" ”
