The weather in early winter is changing, just now the starry sky is twinkling, and in the blink of an eye, dark clouds are thick. After a while, the rumbling continued, and the sky was shocked by brilliant lightning, and the majestic rain was amazing. In the low-lying areas, huge puddles have accumulated. Gao Yang was running in the rain, and the pale white body protection was shielded from the cold wind and rain. Just around a corner, a snow-white lightning bolt struck, and a figure suddenly appeared in the night.

Gao Yang's heart suddenly tightened, and he looked at it calmly, it was Gao Shui, the great eunuch of the Iron Guard, and he was also the most trusted person around the Son of Heaven. He was overjoyed in his heart, hurriedly rushed up, bowed slightly, and said, "Slave and maid see the ancestors." Ancestor, why are you here at such a late hour? Are you carrying out Your Majesty's will? I have something important to see Your Majesty, and I also ask Ancestor to report it, and the slave and maid are grateful. ”

"Oh, it's so late, do you have anything to do with Your Majesty?" Gao Shui looked at Gao Yang indifferently, and the body protection qi that he held up seemed to be substantial, and the raindrops the size of beans fell on the body protection body, making a jingling and crisp sound, adding a lot of music out of thin air. He waved the dust, smiled slightly, and said, "Father-in-law Gao Yang, you should know the temper of the Son of Heaven! There is nothing important to disturb the cultivation of the Son of Heaven, and it will be a loss of head." We don't dare to take that risk. ”

Gao Yang's eyes kept rolling, this was a great credit, and he wanted to swallow it alone. As long as this matter is confirmed, then he is a red man in the eyes of the Son of Heaven, and maybe, he will follow the Son of Heaven to serve left and right. But right now, Gao Shui prevented him from seeing the Son of Heaven, and didn't give him a little credit for it, but he was afraid that he wouldn't see the Son of Heaven. After thinking for a while, Gao Yang said helplessly: "Ancestor, the slave and maid really have a big event to report to the Son of Heaven, is it ......"

For some reason, Gao Yang's heart was very uneasy, and he always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't say what was wrong for a while. That feeling of uneasiness made him feel very uncomfortable. He looked up at Gao Shui, and there was no problem. What could be the problem? Gao Yang was uneasy, his mouth moved, and he still didn't say what he wanted to say.

"What do you want to tell me? If you don't want to say it, our family won't force you, you can hurry back to Weiyang Palace. If the queen finds out that you are not there, she will be held accountable, and even the Son of Heaven will not be able to save your dog's life. Gao Shui said a little angrily, and his eyes suddenly became sharp.

Gao Yang's heart is ruthless, the matter has come to this point, and he has no way out, so let's tell everything. He bowed again and saluted: "Tell the ancestors, the slave and maid found out...... His Royal Highness the Crown Prince...... There is a suspicion of collusion with the demons. The slave was afraid that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would be unfavorable to the Son of Heaven, so she would desperately come out of the Yang Palace and want to tell the Son of Heaven the details. ”

"What did you say?" Gao Shui asked gloomily, "You said that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince colluded with the demon clan with the intention of being unfavorable to the Son of Heaven?" Gao Yang, do you have evidence for saying these words!?" His eyes were even sharper and colder, and in the depths of his eyes, there was a kind of murderous aura rolling.

"Slave maid...... There is no evidence for the slave and maid, everything is mentioned by the queen. She...... She asked the slave maid to investigate His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, suspicious ...... It is suspected that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is colluding with the demons. Gao Yang stammered, cold sweat oozed from his forehead, and hurriedly explained, "The slave wants to report this matter to the Son of Heaven, and then investigate it carefully, I believe it...... I'm sure we'll find evidence. "I was panicked in my heart, and without evidence, I determined that the prince colluded with the demons, which was tantamount to framing. For ordinary people, framing is just a few reprimands, but for members of the royal family, especially the crown prince, framing is the crime of rebellion.

"Oh, yes? Then you don't have any proof. Gao Shui Quack smiled strangely, "Why don't I give you a proof!?"

"Ancestor, you...... What do you mean by that?" Gao Yang was stunned, looking at Gao Yang in horror, and always felt that Gao Yang was different from usual.

"What Grandpa Gao means is that your guess with the queen mother is right, I have indeed formed an alliance with the demons. In the darkness, another person slowly walked out.

After Gao Yang saw the face of the person who came clearly, he was frightened, pointed at the person and said, "It's you, it's your ......" His voice trembled and he couldn't speak.

The person who came was none other than the crown prince Li Chengqian. He stood with Gao Shui, looking at Gao Yang with a frosty face, sneering again and again. Fools can also see that their relationship is not ordinary.

Gao Yang suddenly understood what was going on, and suddenly gasped, the most trusted person around the Son of Heaven turned out to be a person from the Demon Clan. There was a deep fear in his eyes, no wonder he felt different from usual when he looked at Gao Shui! That's because Gao Shui was a member of the demon clan and was sent by the prince to kill him. Thinking of this, his heart was tightly entangled, and he took a few steps back, wanting to escape, but the crown prince Li Chengqian blocked his back road, and there was no way to escape.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, Ancestor, hehe, there must be a misunderstanding here, yes, it's a misunderstanding. Gao Yang was terrified, cold sweat continued, trying to squeeze a smile on his face, making himself look like a malicious person, and said again and again, "The slave maid is loyal to His Royal Highness the Prince, how could he think that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is colluding with the demons......? It was a joke between the slave and the prince just now. Be...... It's the slave's fault, and I ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince not to take it to heart. "The more I talked, the more scared I became, and I wanted to escape, but there was no way to escape.

"No, you're right, Prince Ben...... It's collusion with the demons, so what?" Prince Li Chengqian laughed and very generously admitted that he had colluded with the demons, "I'm not afraid to tell you that Father-in-law Gaoshui is the scout of the Demon Clan's Datang faction." He has been lurking beside the Son of Heaven for hundreds of years. In the past few hundred years, Gao Shui's father-in-law has pretended to be loyal and successfully deceived the trust of the Son of Heaven. But now, it's time for us to do something else. ”

"No, no, no, I don't believe it, His Royal Highness the Prince, Old Ancestor, I beg you, don't tell me this, don't kill me. Gao Yang's body began to tremble slightly, and he kept pleading, "I don't know anything, don't kill me, I don't want to die." ”

"It's late. Gao Shui stretched out his finger and wrote the word "kill" in the air, and with a bang, the word "kill" dissipated, turning into a powerful air current, which penetrated directly from Gao Yang's heart. Gao Yang didn't have the strength to resist at all.

"You are so ruthless!" Gao Yang fell unwillingly into the puddle, the protective body qi dissipated, and the raindrops the size of beans fell on his body, drenching him all at once. He opened his eyes wide, staring at the crown prince Li Chengqian and Gao Shui, his pupils dilated, and he gradually lost his breath of life.

Gao Shui was sure that Gao Yang was dead, and said lightly: "I really didn't expect it! The queen mother is so smart, just from a few details, she deduced that you have formed an alliance with us." His Royal Highness the Prince, this is not a good start! Our business, we can't leak a word, once the plan fails, how serious the consequences will be, the old slave doesn't say, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also knows it in his heart. ”

Prince Li Chengqian's face became very ugly, he was silent for a while, and asked coldly: "Do you want me to kill the queen mother?"

"Those who achieve great things must be ruthless. Someone already suspects, someone must investigate. There are some things that do not stand up to investigation. Gao Yang quacked and laughed, "Don't forget, the queen mother has some suspicions, so it won't be long...... The Son of Heaven will definitely be suspicious. We don't nip all evidence in the bud, and the matter between you and me will not stand up to any investigation. At the beginning, I was sent to the Son of Heaven, and I sacrificed a lot. Prince, if you want to dominate the world, then your personal feelings must be abandoned. Whoever stands in the way of your ambition is your enemy. If you are merciful to your enemies, you will be the one who dies. His eyes looked at Li Chengqian motionlessly.

Li Chengqian pondered for a long time, but he still couldn't make up his mind, after all, the queen mother was his biological mother, and she sacrificed a lot for his foundation from childhood to adulthood. He felt that this was a great mother. However, now for the sake of the so-called hegemony, he wants him to kill his mother with his own hands, and he can't do such a thing. He took Gao Shui's hand and said, "There should be other ways, yes, there are other ways." ”

"What else do you say?" Gao Shui said disdainfully, "As soon as Gao Yang died, he had already confirmed the suspicion of the queen mother. I believe that tomorrow at dawn, the queen will inevitably go to Ben to tell the Son of Heaven the details. Hmph, His Royal Highness the Prince, don't blame the slave family for not reminding you, when the time comes, you can only be the one who dies. What do we have, do we do less to kill people and kill people? As soon as you die, who will know that I am a member of the demon race, and who will know that you are allied with me?"

Li Chengqian bit his lip tightly, he couldn't do this, he couldn't kill his single-minded mother. His face became more and more pale, and he couldn't help but resent the queen mother in his heart, why did he have so many things? Be her queen mother, and when he becomes the son of the Tang Dynasty, she will be the queen mother. Why do you want to make so many things that make him so embarrassed? He doesn't know what to do, he doesn't know what to do to solve this problem perfectly.

Gao Shui also saw Li Chengqian's difficulties, pretended to understand Li Chengqian very much, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is in trouble, and the old slave can understand it." Then leave the matter to the slave and maid. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is fine as long as he does not interfere. ”

Prince Li Chengqian's face trembled several times, he was silent for a long time, his eyes suddenly showed a thick murderous aura, and he said coldly: "She is my mother, the queen mother who gave birth to me, raised me, and loved me, when you do it, don't torture her too much, give her a good time." Also, I wish my queen mother ...... You can die decently, don't humiliate her. You know what?"

Gao Shui bowed and saluted, and said loudly: "The slave and maid must do as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince instructs." ”

......

Before Li Leng returned to the county palace, he went to the Qin Mansion and the Prime Minister's Mansion, and no one knew what he said to the old man Qin and the Prime Minister Zhou Wenbo, but after Li Leng left the Qin Mansion and the Prime Minister's Mansion, there were slight changes in Chang'an City.

First of all, the 200,000 defenders of the Nine Gates entered a state of first-level alert, and the entire Chang'an City was only allowed to enter, not to leave. Secondly, the powerful monks of the Qin Mansion and the Zhou Mansion have woken up from their sleep. In the end, some elders of the royal family also went out one after another and hid around the palace.

Bao Wei and the others had already received the news, and they were ecstatic to greet Li Leng at the gate of the County King's Mansion. As soon as they saw Li Leng's figure, everyone knelt down and said in unison: "See His Royal Highness." ”

Li shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Your formation...... It's too big, too. Get up, there are not so many rules with me. "Let everyone get up and follow him into the county king's mansion.

In the hall, Bao Wei smiled and said, "Your Royal Highness, we didn't expect that you would come back safe and sound." ”

"Yes, at that time, we thought that His Royal Highness had an accident, and the butler who was harmed ......" The other person wanted to tell the truth.

Bao Wei glared at him and said, "Don't open your eyes, isn't it?" As soon as Your Highness came back, you said unlucky things to Your Highness, and after you go down, you will go to enforce the family rules as a punishment." ”

The man hurriedly fell to his knees and said in horror, "It's my fault, it's all my fault." ”

Li sneered and said, "Forget it, it's nothing." How can there be any auspicious and unlucky words, entering this gate, it is a family, there is nothing that cannot be said. Steward, don't go online with them. ”

"Yes, Your Highness. Bao Wei bowed and said to the man, "You must remember that Your Highness is our master, and you must not forget this at any time." We can joke once in a while, but we can't break the rules, you know?"

Some things, it's not that Bao is too careful, but he sees that the loose hearts of people will inevitably bring a series of evil consequences.

"Yes, I see. The man said with a sigh of relief.

Li Leng asked Bao different about the county king's mansion, knowing that during the period of his accident, the county king's mansion was under a lot of pressure, if it weren't for Bao Wei's left and right, trying his best to support the county king's mansion, I'm afraid that the current county king's mansion would have long ceased to exist. From this point, Li Leng saw Bao Wei's talents, and also saw Bao Wei's loyalty to him.

After dinner, Li Leng chatted with everyone for a few words, and then entered the secret room to start cultivating. Now, the confrontation between him and the crown prince has reached a white-hot point, and the contradiction with the Son of Heaven has also reached the point where it is difficult to integrate. Therefore, there are some things that he must prepare for in advance, and the most important thing is to constantly improve his strength and cultivation.

is about to be assessed by the ancestral hall, and becoming the son of heaven of the Tang Dynasty is just his first step. His ultimate goal is to dominate the heavens and all worlds.

After returning from that world, Li Leng obtained the power of the six realms of reincarnation, and his strength and cultivation have made a qualitative leap. Next, he wanted to fuse these powers with his Nine Heavens Burial Immortal Sutra to form his own cultivation system. Only in this way will his strength be stronger.
