The more he thought about it, the more weird he felt, Li Xuanyi simply asked Ding Zhilan directly, is it possible that Zhao Zheng is fake death.

Hearing Li Xuanyi's suspicions, Ding Zhilan expressed her understanding, after all, she had the same question when she heard the news.

But the doubt was soon dispelled.

Because, Ding Hao and some important ministers in the court saw Zhao Zheng's corpse with their own eyes!

Not only that, Zhao Zheng's spiritual position was also enshrined in the Great Wei Ancestral Temple, and Zhao Yong also announced to the world that Zhao Zheng was called filial piety, called Prince Xiao.

In this way, Ding Zhilan also had to believe it.

When Ding Zhilan informed Li Xuanyi of this information, Li Xuanyi was also a little confused.

In this way, Zhao Zheng is indeed dead.

But Zhao Yong, the bare-bones emperor, can still continue to be able to do it without making trouble, which is really a bit abnormal.

However, Ding Zhilan is not too strange about this matter.

She told Li Xuanyi that since the founding of the Great Wei Dynasty, there had been a "light pole emperor" similar to Zhao Yong.

It was two hundred years ago, in a war with another country, the former emperor was seriously wounded, and all five of his sons were killed in battle.

At that time, the Great Wei was almost on the verge of extinction.

However, with the help of several generals to turn the tide, the war was finally won, and the occupied territory of Great Wei was gradually recovered.

But in any case, people cannot be resurrected after death, and several princes have indeed been buried in the ground.

And that first emperor was too seriously injured, and he could only rely on his own cultivation and a large amount of medicine to maintain it, and I am afraid that he will die in a few years.

Although he could have another prince, in view of his physical condition, he did not do so in the end, but found several clansmen and passed on their sons and trained them as princes.

After all, a kingdom cannot be left without a king for a day.

Therefore, based on the situation at that time, the first emperor's approach was understandable, and most people in the court supported it.

And the few who don't support it don't dare to show it, and only dare to secretly criticize it in private, which can't become a climate.

Soon, the first emperor selected one of these successive princes and issued an edict to make him the crown prince.

A few years later, the former emperor died, and the crown prince he had appointed succeeded to the throne as such.

In any case, the new emperor is still a relative of the Zhao family, so most of the ministers support the new emperor's accession to the throne.

And now Zhao Yong may also take the solution of the former emperor at that time, find a clan, and inherit his son as a prince.

Hearing this, Li Xuanyi completely understood.

Although Zhao Yong slaughtered a large number of members of the royal family, there were still many remote clans that still survived, but they were simply stripped of their power and exiled to live all over the country.

Therefore, as long as he tries his best to find it, he can always find a clan that is willing to pass his son to him as a prince.

Thinking of this, Li Xuanyi couldn't help but sigh with emotion, he didn't expect this great Wei Tianzi to have such a past.

After knowing the information of the hundred officials and the emperor, Li Xuanyi raised the last question, that is, the information about those royal masters.

Hearing this question, Ding Zhilan smiled apologetically, and then replied:

"I'm really sorry, Xuanyi, these royal masters are more mysterious than the other, so I don't know them very well."

"I only know that there are about a dozen of these royal masters, and their cultivation is above the seventh order, and some of them are also very good at the technique of combined attacks, and they can easily kill opponents whose cultivation is higher than their own."

Li Xuanyi was not surprised by this answer.

After all, when she was in Jing County before, Ding Zhilan also said that she didn't know much about these royal masters.

Pinching Ding Zhilan's smooth and tender little face, Li Xuanyi smiled and said:

"It doesn't matter, when we get to Qianzhou, sooner or later we will deal with these royal masters, and then we will naturally know who they are."

Seeing Ding Zhilan's slightly apologetic expression, Shangguan Yun also said with a smile:

"Yes, Sister Zhilan, we are a family, there is nothing to be sorry for."

Seeing that the two of them were so understanding, Ding Zhilan's heart suddenly surged with a warm current.

She was about to make small talk about something else, but she suddenly remembered that she had forgotten to tell her lover about something, so she said:

"Xuanyi, sister Yun'er, I suddenly remembered something."

"What's the matter?" Li Xuanyi and Shangguan Yun were both stunned.

Ding Zhilan replied: "It's about the royal master. ”

"Not long after His Majesty's assassination two years ago, he recruited several masters from the Western Regions to enter the palace from outside."

"The whereabouts of these masters of the Western Regions are even more mysterious than the original royal masters, and their status seems to be higher than those of the previous royal masters."

"Of course, it is said that the cultivation of these masters of the Western Regions is also higher than that of the original royal masters."

Hearing this, Li Xuanyi couldn't help but be a little surprised:

"Master of the Western Regions?"

"The emperor would actually rest assured that he would let aliens enter the palace to protect himself?"

Ding Zhilan smiled: "I don't know much about this, maybe Your Majesty once had kindness to them." ”

"It's possible......"

Li Xuanyi silently wrote down this information, and then asked:

"Zhilan, have you seen these masters of the Western Regions?"

Ding Zhilan was stunned for a moment, and replied thoughtfully:

"I've seen them all, but when I saw them, they all covered their faces, so I didn't know what they looked like."

"It's so mysterious......"

Hearing Ding Zhilan's words, Li Xuanyi couldn't help but think thoughtfully.

"However, I have heard that His Majesty calls one of these Western Regions masters 'Elder Ling'."

"And the status of this 'Ling Lao' seems to be higher than all the other royal masters."

Seeing that Li Xuanyi was silent, Ding Zhilan added.

"Elder Ling?"

Li Xuanyi hadn't heard of this "Ling Lao", but he didn't say much, but silently wrote down the name.

Next, the three of them chatted and walked, and soon went out of the city gate and came to the stable outside the city.

Pulling out the horses, the three of them turned over and rode away in the direction of Qianzhou.

As before, the three of them still walked and stopped, enjoying the natural scenery along the way, while feeling the strong festive atmosphere, which can be described as leisurely and happy, even happier than the gods.

……

After walking for another ten days, the three of them finally came to the Gyeonggi area, and the city of Qianzhou was not far ahead.

Early that morning, the three of them packed up, walked out of a country inn, and then turned over their horses and galloped towards Qianzhou City, which stood in front of them.

Soon, the three of them came to the outside of Qianzhou City.

At this time, the sun rises in the east.

Under the clear blue sky, the tall and majestic city walls of Qianzhou City are shining with the golden morning sun, which looks spectacular.

Although the city walls and gates of Jing County can also be called magnificent, they are not worth mentioning at all compared with this Qianzhou City.

Outside the city gates, groups of stubborn and heavily armed soldiers patrolled back and forth, conducting strict checks on every citizen who entered and left the city of Qianzhou.

Li Xuanyi had already learned from Ding Zhilan that he had to hold a specific customs clearance document before he could enter and leave Qianzhou City.

And outsiders like him and Shangguan Yun, if they want to get the customs clearance documents, they either have to borrow them from people in Qianzhou City, or buy them at a high price in the black market outside the city.

Of course, now that there is Ding Zhilan, there is no need to worry about the problem of customs clearance.

After a moment of stopping outside the city, the trio deposited their horses in the stables outside the city, and then walked towards the city gate with their bags on their backs.
