Chapter 785: Zimo Shows Up
When the second saint and Li Chengxian discussed the looting incident outside the Guan, Zimo, who escaped from Lu Xiusius, quietly returned to Chang'an City and turned into a wisp of green smoke and drifted into Li Wuchen's mansion.
In fact, Li Wuchen had already received some news about the affairs outside the gate, but he didn't know what was going on? After all, he was now under house arrest by the second saint, and even if he wanted to know something, it would probably not be easy to get the news.
When he saw a wisp of green smoke drifting into his room, and then turned into Zimo, Li Wuchen hurriedly stepped forward and hurriedly asked: "Why did you come back? What happened to the matter? The second saint has already learned about the matter, and Yanmen Pass is afraid that he will send troops soon." β
Zimo looked at Li Wuchen, shook his head and sighed: "Wuchen, you said it was too late, the matter had failed, and we were almost exposed, everyone was wiped out, and I escaped alone." β
"What? You, what did you say, the whole army was destroyed? Then, what about Helan Chengzhi's people? They are all ......."
Li Wuchen was completely stunned when he heard this, thinking that Helan Chengzhi's people might have died, his whole body suddenly became cold, and his whole body was like falling into an ice cave, and he couldn't say a word in a half-trembling voice.
There was still some time before the night, and Lucius and the others did not leave the mansion, and after the two saints sent various daily necessities, Lucius and the others began to clean up the house.
The plan is to tidy up their respective houses first, so that this large mansion will have some popularity, so that they can be regarded as officially entering the East, and have a place of their own to settle down, no matter what happens in the future, at least for now they don't have to worry about where to live.
At the same time, in the garden of the palace, the second saint and the old businessman Li Chengxian sat opposite each other, and it seemed that the three of them were like three old friends, and there was no identity gap between them.
It can be seen that Li Chengxian is not restrained in front of the two saints. The table was very easy-going, as if he had seen an old friend he hadn't seen for many years, rather than meeting the two rulers of the Tang Empire, and the easy-going and peaceful atmosphere echoed around everyone.
The Holy Emperor first opened his mouth and said to Li Chengxian: "Chengxian, you think that you have really suffered from being away all these years, you see that you are obviously younger than me, but you look older than me." β
Li Chengxian immediately laughed when he heard this: "Hehe, Holy Emperor, you are laughing, Chengxian is out for my Tang Dynasty." Besides, don't look at Chengxian looking old now, but the emperor's body is very tough, and he doesn't have any pain at all. β
The Holy Empress then echoed: "Yes, Chengxian's body still looks so strong, it seems that the wind and sand in the Western Regions are too big, so Chengxian looks very old." β
The Holy Emperor nodded and said no more, but he couldn't help but sigh in his heart that their brothers were still frolicking in the palace at the beginning. It's like yesterday.
The Holy Empress looked at the Holy Emperor's expression a little gloomy, knowing that the Holy Emperor remembered the past again, so she smiled and diverted the topic: "Hehe, Your Majesty." Don't be so sad, isn't there something more important for Chengxian to come this time? Let's listen to what Chengxian has to say. β
Hearing this, the Holy Emperor restrained the sadness on his face, raised his head and looked at Li Chengxian: "Chengxian. Tell me about what happened to you and what you saw and heard this time. β
Li Chengxian's expression darkened at first when he heard this, and then he couldn't help sighing: "Hey." Originally, I didn't want to tell the Holy Emperor and the Holy Empress, but since I have encountered it, then I can't hide it from you, but after you hear it, please don't get excited. β
When the Holy Emperor and the Holy Empress heard this, they knew that what Li Chengxian said was probably extremely tricky, and their expressions became stern, and they sat there quietly listening to Li Chengxian's story.
Li Chengxian took a deep breath, glanced at Yan SΓΉ's Second Sage, and paused for a moment before saying, "Presumably the Holy Emperor and the Holy Empress already know about those Chang'an City gentlemen, using their own private soldiers to disguise themselves and go out of the customs to plunder the caravan, right?"
The Holy Emperor and the Holy Empress nodded when they heard this, but they didn't interrupt Li Chengxian's words, and Li Chengxian continued: "Actually, the caravan they plundered was Chengxian's caravan, and they almost wiped out the entire caravan at that time. β
"Bastard......" The Holy Emperor was furious when he heard this, and angrily sent it on the stone table in front of him, almost smashing the stone table directly.
Seeing this, the Holy Empress hurriedly persuaded: "Your Majesty, don't worry, listen to Chengxian first, don't you have other words later? β
Li Chengxian continued with a solemn expression: "Holy Emperor, don't get excited, in fact, the looting of those gentlemen in Chang'an City was unsuccessful, and the Lucius from the west in my caravan, he and the people under his command repelled the army of gentlemen in Chang'an City. β
When the Holy Emperor heard this, he immediately praised it: "Okay, very good, you should teach those boys a lesson, lest they rely on some of their own Lao Tzu's shadows and become lawless." β
Li Chengxian nodded and then said with a wry smile: "It's indeed a good thing, but the Holy Emperor may not know that those boys were actually used by others, and the people who used them also borrowed the light cavalry of the Demon Sect. β
"What?" This time, even the Holy Empress had no way to be calm, and the Holy Emperor was startled at first, but then calmed down, knowing that something else was wrong.
stared at Li Chengxian silently and said, "Chengxian, you explain to me in detail, what the hell is going on? Why would someone take advantage of those boys, and after using them, they actually killed them all? Such a cruel method really deserves to be killed." β
Li Chengxian knew that his words had completely angered the Holy Emperor, you must know that the Holy Emperor is usually a peaceful person, but if he really gets angry, I am afraid that it is not something that ordinary people can bear, and it is also something that all enemies are afraid of.
Facing the already angry Holy Emperor, Li Chengxian did not hesitate and told the ins and outs of what he knew.
Especially when it comes to the general of the investigation, Helan Chengzhi, who was killed in the end, finally couldn't bear it, and roared very angrily: "Damn, who are they? Why did you kill them? Why didn't the Yanmen guard send back the message?"
Li Chengxian knew that the Holy Queen was also angry, because the Holy Queen cared very much about the people in his mother's family, especially Helan Chengzhi, who was the grandson of the Holy Queen's best sister, and now he died in such an unknown way, the Holy Queen was naturally angry.
Li Chengxian hurriedly explained for the guard of Yanmen Pass: "The Holy Queen is angry, I think the Yanmen Pass is still investigating, and I want to report to the Second Sage after some eyebrows." β
The Holy Emperor also comforted the Holy Empress on the side, and at the same time whispered to the Holy Queen: "This matter, Wuchen's child must know about it, I'm afraid that the person who killed them with his hands, Wuchen should probably know who it is?"
When the Holy Queen heard this, she suddenly came to her senses, and hurriedly ordered someone to summon Li Wuchen into the palace, but was stopped by the Holy Emperor: "Don't worry, let's not startle the snake in this matter, I think we should send someone to keep an eye on Wuchen first, maybe Wuchen doesn't know about it, but since Wuchen is involved, then the guy who kills people and kills people will probably not let Wuchen go." β
At this time, the Holy Queen was obviously a little panicked, but the Holy Emperor calmed down from his previous anger and took into account the ins and outs of the matter.
Under the persuasion and comfort of the Holy Emperor, the Holy Queen gradually calmed down, and after thinking about it carefully, she felt that the Holy Emperor's arrangement was very reasonable, so she nodded and agreed with the Holy Emperor's opinion.
Then Li Chengxian continued: "Although Lucius can be excluded, we still need to monitor Lucius's people, after all, Lucius's strength is very strong, especially those two female dolls, they are really amazing, they can fight the Demon Sect light cavalry alone, it can be seen that the strength is extremely terrifying." β
Hearing this, the Holy Emperor and the Holy Queen also nodded in agreement: "Yes, that Lucius must be stared at, and before this matter is not seen, his suspicion cannot be ruled out." β
Li Chengxian was silent for a moment, wanting to speak again and again, as if he wanted to say something, but he was worried that if he said it, it would cause unnecessary trouble.
As the elder brother who grew up with Li Chengxian, the Holy Emperor could see at a glance that Li Chengxian had something to say, but he avoided it and did not say all the words.
The Holy Emperor immediately unleashed his power and enveloped the entire garden, and then said to Li Chengxian: "Chengxian, you don't seem to have anything to say, now there are only three of us here, I hope you can tell the whole truth." β
Li Chengxian raised his head and looked at the Holy Emperor, then looked at the surrounding realm, and suddenly felt a burst of surprise, Li Chengxian knew very well that the Holy Emperor would have to pay a lot of price if he wanted to maintain this realm.
At that moment, he no longer hid anything, and said bluntly: "Lu Xius actually went to see Helan Chengzhi for the last time before He Lancheng's death, and he came back to say that before Helan Cheng's death, he said that it was Zimo of Zhenwuguan who instigated them, and it was Zimo who killed them." β
Hearing this, the Holy Emperor and the Holy Queen were completely shocked, although the Holy Emperor and the Holy Queen knew that the True Martial Temple and the Demon Sect both belonged to the Immortal Realm and were inextricably linked with each other, but they never thought that this time the matter would be like this.
The Holy Emperor frowned slightly and whispered: "If Lu Xiusius's words are true, then I'm afraid that Zimo is doing this completely to kill people and kill his mouth, and he doesn't want people to know the fact that the True Martial Sect and the Demon Sect have something to do with it, or that the Immortal Domain already wants to attack us?"
The second half of the Holy Emperor's words made both the Holy Empress and Li Chengxian shudder, both of them knew very well the meaning of the Holy Emperor's words.
At the beginning of the establishment of the Tang Empire, it relied on the power of the Immortal Domain and the Buddha Kingdom to successfully rise, but later the Holy Emperor and the Holy Queen always wanted to try to get rid of the shackles of the Immortal Domain and the Buddha Kingdom.
