And the direct promotion from the fourth grade to the second grade is obviously a violation of the rules of officialdom and a violation of the rules.

Rules are etiquette, and they are the norms of the world's behavior.

If you take the lead in breaking the rules you have set, the majesty of the emperor will be greatly damaged, and the people's reverence for these rules will be reduced.

Every time this rule is broken, a part of the hearts and minds of the people are lost.

This is a taboo for the emperor.

And now, Emperor Dayong has forcibly promoted the rank of Princess Long's father regardless of taboos, obviously to prepare for King Long to be crowned the crown prince.

Her eyes wandered and she looked at Li Chengkong.

Li Chengkong played with the teacup: "Is there anything else?"

"No more. Yuan Ziyan shook his head lightly: "Now everyone knows that King Long is a sure thing!"

Li Chengkong said: "Let's cook." ”

"Master......" Yuan Ziyan said softly: "Otherwise, kill King Long directly, just like assassinating King Xian?"

Li Chengkong glanced at her.

Yuan Ziyan is full of confidence now, and he is not so afraid, and he said unconvinced: "King Long has really become the crown prince, and our Xianwang Mansion will be struggling, and it will be unlucky!"

"If you kill King Long, the emperor will kill me, and you will be free, right?"

"Old - old ——!"

"Am I still wronging you?"

"I'm ...... from the bottom of my heart"

"Let's cook. Li Chengkong said: "When you get to the Great Grandmaster, it's not too late to have this bad idea again!"

"Alas......" Yuan Ziyan shook his head with a wronged look, and went into the kitchen with a look of grievance.

Li Miaozhen shook her head secretly.

My junior sister, I really don't stop, such an obvious provocation, borrowing a knife to kill people, how can I hide it from Li Chengkong?

She must also know that she is deliberately provoking and letting out a bad breath.

"What are you going to do?" she whispered, "It's going to be a good situation." ”

"It's up to you. Li Cheng said emptyly.

Li Miaozhen shook his head lightly: "This is just a trick, not a dignified way, and it may not work." ”

Li Chengkong put down the teacup and got up: "Hurry up." ”

"Then it's up to your people, the unphased sect, amazing. Li Miaozhen said: "How did you take the Wuxiang Sect under your own?"

Li Chengkong said: "Maybe it's personal charm." ”

Li Miaozhen sneered.

Li Chengkong shook his head, came to Dugu Shuming's courtyard, sat opposite Dugu Shuming in the small pavilion, and asked Xiao Miaoxue to call Zhang Tianning over.

Zhang Tianning bowed down and came to the small pavilion lightly, and stood in front of him with his fists folded: "I've seen the princess, Lord Li." ”

Li Chengkong said: "Zhang Tianning, do you know how many guards the prince was with at that time?"

"Sixteen. ”

"All dead?"

"Yes. ”

"Where's the corpse?"

"This ......," Zhang Tianning hesitated.

Li Chengkong said: "I want to re-examine their corpses, and, in addition to the guards, what about the rest of the people, how much did they bring?"

"There are also six attendants. ”

"Where are their corpses?"

"Their martial arts are low, and when they encounter such a fierce fight, they can't find all the corpses. ”

"I'm going to re-examine it. ”

"Yes. ”

"Let's go. ”

"Princess Namei's ......"

"Princess Mei asked the princess to say it, let's go now and go directly to see the corpse. ”

"Yes. Zhang Tianning complained bitterly, but agreed without hesitation.

——

The two of them came halfway up a mountain.

Zhang Tianning carried a shovel, first removed the tombstone, and then quickly excavated.

As a master of the Great Light Realm, he dug up the tomb with ease, and in an instant, he had already dug up several corpses.

Then another grave was dug up.

While he was digging, Li Chengkong had already opened the coffin and began to examine the corpses inside.

The corpse of the grandmaster will not decay for a long time, and the deeper the cultivation, the longer it will not decay.

But the corpse of a non-grandmaster couldn't do it, and when he opened the coffin, a strong smell hit him, and Li Chengkong quickly retreated, faster than the smell rushed out.

With a flick of his sleeves, the strong smell was swept away, but the smell of the corpse was still enough for him.

He ignored it, looked through every place, and through the injuries of the corpse, he simulated and restored the situation of the corpse in his mind.

Combined with the actions of the rest of the corpses, they kept calculating, arranging and combining, and striving to restore their scenes at that time.

The Great Light Realm Grandmaster's sense of smell was also extremely sharp, and the impact of the smell was even stronger.

Zhang Tianning secretly sealed his nose, and he didn't have to open his sense of smell like Li Chengkong in order to capture more details.

I looked through the guards, and then I looked at the guards.

Unlike the previous guards, one person and one grave, the guards were all buried in one grave, and six coffins were laid out in a row and buried together.

Their corpses were much more brutal, and their bodies were mostly mutilated, and even if they were all pieced together.

One can imagine how fragile they were in front of those masters, shattering like porcelain with a single blow.

Li Chengkong looked at the fragments of these stumps one by one, and finally waved his hand: "It's okay to bury it again." ”

Zhang Tianning hurriedly closed the coffin, pushed his palm, quickly filled it back to its original appearance, and the tombstone was re-erected.

Li Chengkong saluted with his palms together and muttered a whisper of the Sutra of Transcendence.

Then he came to the small river at the foot of the mountain, put his hands into the clear water, soaked motionless for a quarter of an hour, and then took out the soap in his sleeve and washed it carefully.

It was a soap made by himself with medicinal herbs, and it was more effective than in his previous life.

Zhang Tianning had been standing beside him, and couldn't help but say, "Lord Li, what's wrong?"

Li Chengkong rubbed his hands carefully, meticulously not letting go of any place.

Zhang Tianning waited respectfully.

After a long time, Li Chengkong reached into the water, washed the foam off, shook his hand, and said, "There is one less person." ”

Zhang Tianning blurted out: "Impossible!"

Li Chengkong glanced at him.

Zhang Tianning hurriedly smiled, shook his head and said, "Master Li, I have taken a closer look, it is indeed the corpse of six people." ”

"One is fake. Li Cheng said emptyly.

"Ah——!?" Zhang Tianning was surprised.

Li Chengkong said: "He died for a longer time, at least a day earlier than the other five. ”

If it hadn't been for so long, it would have been hard for him to see.

Zhang Tianning frowned.

Li Chengkong smiled: "It seems that the death of the prince has an internal response,...... Can you get a portrait of the six?"

"Yes. Zhang Tianning nodded hurriedly: "There are portraits in the palace." ”

"Let's go check it out. ”

The two returned to King Xian's Mansion and came to a courtyard, which was a forbidden place in the palace, and Zhao Changde accompanied him to come in person.

Looking at the portraits of the six people, Li Chengkong pointed to one of the portraits of a young and handsome man: "It's him, Huang Pinglu." ”

He closed his eyes, and a trace of Yuan Shen drilled into Song Yunxuan's mind.

Song Yunxuan was turning into a chubby old man, who was reprimanding a group of maids in the courtyard, and at this time, if he was aware of it, he waved his hand to disperse the maids, and sat in front of the flower garden to concentrate on his mind.

After a moment, Li Chengkong opened his eyes thoughtfully.

One of the governors of the Longwang Mansion that Song Yunxuan had transformed had never seen this Huang Pinglu.

This is not surprising, even if Huang Pinglu is the internal response of King Long, he will not run to King Long's mansion.

So he asked people to bring Huang Pinglu's clothes, return to his yard, summon Li Miaozhen, and let Li Miaozhen perform thaumaturgical induction.

Li Miaozhen shook her head: "The person is dead." ”

Li Chengkong sighed.

Sure enough, it was extinguished, which is the proper righteousness.

"Huh?" Li Miaozhen was suddenly surprised.
