Chapter 25: Mixed Joys and Sorrows

Tang Xuanzong commanded in the face of the crisis. Just after the deployment, I heard the following person claim that there was still something important to report. Looking down, it was none other than Liu Zhong.

"What else? Hurry up! Xuanzong said.

"Yes! Your Majesty. The villain is an important detail that wants to tell His Majesty that King Shou rebelled. King Shou spent years excavating a complex and massive underground palace. Part of this secret palace was used to store fine weapons, while the other part was an underground mausoleum built by King Shou for himself. The underground mausoleum contains a number of secret rooms, some of which collect rare treasures, some of which collect rare and ancient books, and some of which store sarcophagi made of extremely special stones. ”

"I know, when I am arrested, I will confiscate all of these!" Xuanzong seemed to be a little impatient and interrupted Liu Zhong's statement.

"Your Majesty, please let the villain finish the most important thing."

"Speak!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty! There are two exits to the east and west of the entire secret room, and the west exit is blocked by a boulder in order to avoid trouble and report to you as soon as possible, and only the east exit is left. And King Shou had previously confessed that if the rebellion failed, he would hide in the underground palace and enter the sarcophagus prepared for himself by Diling, saying that this sarcophagus had some magical effect and could ensure his comeback. And the most important thing is that after he enters the underground palace, he will immediately seal all exits. And the mechanism of the east exit can not only seal the east exit, but also make the entire underground palace sink dozens of meters. And the collapse of the upper part of the non-underground palace will make the excavation in the back extremely difficult! ”

"So, what do you mean?"

"Your Majesty, the minister requests to join the forbidden army besieging the Shouwang Mansion, and lead some people to quickly enter the palace to search for the Shouwang Mansion, so as to avoid the situation feared above!"

"Exactly! You bring this jade pendant with you, and the leader of the forbidden army will listen to your orders. Xuanzong made a decision.

Liu Zhong thanked him for taking the jade pendant with both hands, and took Li Shilan out of the Calyx Xianghui Building quickly.

Someone outside had already prepared a horse, and after Liu Zhong got on the horse, he pulled Li Shilan and rode straight to the south gate of Xingqing Palace. Holding the emperor's jade pendant, it was really unimpeded.

Not far from Xingqing Palace, I saw a group of people resting on the side of the road. Liu Zhong was overjoyed, because his two own sisters were among them.

When he arrived at everyone, Liu Zhong pulled the reins.

"Xiaoxiang's injuries are okay, right?" Liu Zhong asked with concern.

"Liu Xiashi, Xiaoxiang's injury is no longer serious, we will take her back to Mount Emei to recuperate for a while, please rest assured!" Wu Jiaojiao replied, then frowned slightly, and said: "It's just that this girl's injury seems to have deteriorated very quickly, and she vomited a mouthful of blood just now, and we used Cui Huan Dan to stop it temporarily, but I'm afraid it must be treated immediately!" ”

Hearing this, Li Shilan flipped off the horse's back with her heel, almost fell, and immediately ran to Lin Lanyue's side.

"Ah Lan, are you back?" Lin Lanyue wanted to struggle to get up, but immediately fell back into Liu Yushuang's arms.

"Don't move, you're too weak!" Li Shilan was distressed, and she didn't know what to do.

"Ah Lan! Then! Liu Zhong took out the iron plate from his arms and threw it at Li Shilan, waited for Li Shilan to catch it steadily, and said: "Ah Lan, you use this token to take your friends into Xingqing Palace, and ask the emperor to send the imperial doctor to Lan Yue to heal quickly!" Because of your meritorious rescue, presumably the emperor will not refuse your request. The situation here is urgent, and we must go immediately! After speaking, he turned to Wu Jiaojiao and the others, and said, "Thank you for the help of several heroines, and I have informed the emperor in detail of the rebellion of King Shou." And his old man has already mobilized his troops and horses to arrange them properly! I bothered a few sisters who took care of me, and this kindness will never be forgotten! Xiaoyu Xiaoxiang, my brother will go to you after handling official business. After speaking, he rode his horse and went straight to Shouwang's mansion.

"Ladies and gentlemen, a few sisters of our Emei faction have completed the things handed over by the master, and they are going back to Mount Emei! We'll see you later! Wu Jiaojiao and a few people clasped their fists and saluted, and the six people and three horses walked towards the gate of Chang'an City, and it was Sun Meirou who kept looking forward to it.

The lover was seriously injured

After the six heroines of Emei left, Li Shilan immediately picked up Lin Lanyue and ran to Xingqing Palace with Luo Jian and Liu Yushuang.

After showing Liu Zhong's iron card secret order, and explaining it clearly to the guards, he entered the palace.

At this time, Tang Xuanzong had moved to the main building of government affairs and sat in command. Li Shilan and the others came in to explain their intentions, and Xuanzong arranged for them to wait in the side hall, and passed the imperial doctor.

After a while, the imperial doctor came to check Lin Lanyue's pulse.

The imperial doctor shook his head while checking his pulse, and beckoned Li Shilan and the others to speak aside.

"This lady has been injured internally, and many of her viscera have been cracked, only because she has taken some kind of pill before, which has miraculous effects, she has been supported until now!"

When Li Shilan and others heard this, they were shocked and sad.

"Is this the magic elixir you're talking about?" Liu Yushuang took out a bottle of Cui Huan Dan that Wu Jiaojiao stuffed to her before leaving.

The imperial doctor took it, poured out a few grains, sniffed it and said, "This is the Emei faction's Zhenshan elixir Cui Huandan?" ”

"Exactly! Will this heal my friend's internal injuries? Li Shilan asked anxiously.

"Cui Huan Dan is indeed a good medicine for the treatment of internal injuries, you can use osmanthus petals as a medicine guide, and then take Cui Huan Dan, you can increase the effect!" The imperial doctor hesitated a little and said, "However, it can only last for two months at most." ”

"What? Only two more months to live? Li Shilan couldn't believe her ears.

"Andβ€”" The Imperial Physician continued, "it is not the effectiveness of Cui Huan Dan that has allowed this lady to support her until now. Judging by the pulse, it is a special elixir that is strong and prolongs life that was taken earlier. If you continue to take this special elixir, the chances of survival of the cure will increase greatly! ”

"Earlier?" Li Shilan tried hard to recall. "Could it be the elixir of life in the underground palace? There's nothing else out of it. ”

"Luo Jian, come with me! Yushuang, you stay and take care of Lan Yue. After Li Shilan finished speaking, she got up and walked out.

"Where are we going?" Luo Jian asked.

"We must go to Brother Zhong immediately and ask him to stop King Shou before he is buried in the underground palace. In this way, we can go in and get the Immortal Pill, and Lan Yue can be saved! ”

The two met with Tang Xuanzong, and after explaining the reason, they immediately left the palace with tokens. Xuanzong sent a small team of people and horses to take them straight to Shouwang's Mansion, after all, Li Luo and the others were not skilled in riding horses.

The group hurried up, and soon arrived at the woods in the southwest of Shouwang's Mansion. I only heard the sound of clanging and clinking blades, and if I looked closely, the forbidden army was surrounded on the outside, and there were many people dressed in rivers and lakes on the edge of the woods and inside resisting stubbornly, and the scene was quite stalemate.

The team brought by Li Shilan's command bypassed the battle here and went straight to the south gate of Shouwang's Mansion.

When he was about to reach the south gate of the palace, he had already seen Liu Zhong and was leading his troops to besiege him.

"Brother Zhong!" Li Shilan asked the soldiers to rush forward, "How is the battle?" How long will it take to enter the palace, but don't let King Shou enter the underground palace and bury the secret room! ”

"Why are you here? It's dangerous here! Liu Zhong was a little surprised, "How is Sister Lanyue's injury?" ”

"That's what I'm here for! After the imperial doctor diagnosed, he said that only the elixir in the secret room of this underground palace could save her life! Li Shilan explained.

"I see! Sister Lan Yue's injuries are so serious! "Liu Zhong is also very worried about the safety of his godsister." In order not to force King Shou into the dungeon and self-destruct, I have already carried out a raid. Helplessly, when we fled before, we had already leaked the rumors, and in addition, the people in the rivers and lakes who gathered later were indeed strong in martial arts, and they couldn't attack the mansion for a while! ”

"How's that okay?" Li Shilan and Luo Jian were anxious, but they had nothing to do.

Just then, a fast horse galloped in.

"Report to Lord Qincha, the east gate of the palace has been breached by us!" A cavalryman came with good news.

"Good!" Liu Zhong's spirits were lifted, and Li Luo and the others were also happy. "Pass my order, except for the reinforcement of troops outside the woods on the southwest side, the other gates will step up their offensive, and we will join forces with the soldiers who entered the east gate to take the Shouwang Mansion in one fell swoop!"

"Yes!" The herald galloped away.

Not long after, seeing that the guards in various parts of the palace were about to collapse, Li Shilan seemed to see the hope of her sweetheart turning the corner.

But at this moment, I heard a loud bang in the house, as if the sky had collapsed!

"Not good!"
