Leaving the barren mountain, Li Zhe continued to rush to Zhongjing. Naturally, I don't know anything about the treasure hunt of Pan Yushu and his wife.

To say, Pan Yushu's "Twelve Heavenly Mountains and Rivers Great Array" is really not blown out. With Li Zhe's superior divine sense, he sat next to him for two hours, but he didn't notice anything abnormal at all.

In the evening, Li Zhe finally came to the gate of Zhongjing.

Now is not what it used to be, of course, the current Li Zhe will not be afraid of the government and recognize him as a wanted criminal.

However, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, he still used the illusion technique to transform into a burly man in his thirties.

This kind of transfiguration technique is to use divine consciousness to disguise oneself, and the effect depends on the level of each person's divine consciousness.

With Li Zhe's cultivation, he can only deceive mortals at most, and it is basically of little use to monks.

After the transformation, Li Zhe swaggered into Zhongjing City.

Seeing that it was still early, it was estimated that Liu Siren was still working in Yamen and had not returned home, so Li Zhe decided to find a hotel to fight his teeth first.

Although he has been cultivating the valley for many years, it is not hindered to cultivate the Tao by occasionally tasting the world's delicacies as a kind of enjoyment.

Li Zhe walked down the street and soon came across a luxurious hotel.

He walked into the private room of the store, unceremoniously ordered a table of delicious food, ordered a jar of good wine, and sat down to feast.

While enjoying the food, two people came in from outside the door, both dressed as military generals.

Coincidentally, the two of them were sitting next to the private room where Li Zhe was sitting.

As soon as he sat down, the majestic military general among the two couldn't wait to lower his voice and say to the other person: "Second brother, you should help the younger brother get an idea." Both the King of Jin and the King of Han sent their cronies to win over their younger brothers. The younger brother is now in a dilemma, and his days are like years. ”

Originally, the emperor of the Great Zhou Kingdom had four adult sons.

The crown prince Zhao Renli died suddenly many years ago, and the sixth prince, Tang King Zhao Renzhi, asked Li Zhe to clean it up eight years ago.

In the end, the second prince of Jin, Zhao Renyi, and the fourth prince, Zhao Renxin, the king of Han, were left.

As the last contender for the throne, the two have been fighting openly and secretly, winning over officials in the DPRK and China one after another, and secretly cultivating their own forces.

The military general known as the second brother shook his head and replied: "Second brother, I can't think of any good strategy, and if I take refuge in one party, I will inevitably offend the other." Now, the two sides are evenly matched, and it is impossible to tell who has the upper hand, and if the wrong bet is made, it will be a catastrophe in the future. The two princes are ruthless. Eight years ago, the king of Tang was mysteriously killed outside Linchuan City, His Majesty was furious, and devoted the whole country to a thorough investigation, but to this day has not been able to find out a result. In the opinion of the foolish brother, it is most likely the hands of these two assassins, otherwise it would not be possible to catch the murderer even today. ”

Although the two of them lowered their voices, and also used the sound transmission technique in secular martial arts, which could prevent a third party from eavesdropping, how could they hide Li Zhe's divine sense.

Hearing that the two princes helped him carry the black cauldron, Li Zhe laughed secretly in his heart.

The majestic Wu will continue to beg: "Second brother, you can help my brother find a way, let me deal with it for a while." ”

was chased tightly, and the second brother replied helplessly: "There is only one way now, delay." Third brother, you are in command of the Praetorian Guard, the position is extremely important, and it was personally appointed by His Majesty, and the two princes dare not touch you easily. As long as you don't express your position, the two princes will not deal with you for a while, and they can delay for a while. ”

After listening to the second brother's method, the majestic military general was not at ease and continued to plead: "Second brother, this method can only be delayed for a while, not for a long time, so let's help me think of a better way." ”

The second brother lowered his voice and said to the third brother with a mysterious face: "Third brother, don't worry, you don't have to delay for too long." I got the news that His Majesty's dragon body is very inappropriate, and it is estimated that it will not last many days. ”

The third brother was taken aback, and the wine glass in his hand fell on the table. Gu couldn't be splashed with soup, the third brother hurriedly asked, "Is this news reliable?"

The second brother grabbed the wine glass and drank it down, and explained in a low voice: "You also know that my brother-in-law is on duty in the Tai Hospital, and this news is true. On the one hand, we are delaying time, and we will not say which prince to take refuge in for the time being, while waiting for the news of the eldest brother. The eldest brother is on an errand in front of the emperor, and sooner or later he can find out which prince His Majesty prefers, and then the three of us brothers will go to take refuge together. The three of us brothers are responsible for the defense of the entire Chukyo and Ouchi, and this certificate of nomination is enough to ensure the glory and wealth of the three brothers in the future. ”

The third brother really relieved himself when he heard this, and said: "It turns out that the two elder brothers have already made plans, and the younger brother has been worried for a few days in vain. ”

After a while, another military general came in outside the door, and when the two saw it, they hurriedly called it big brother and stepped forward to greet them.

The three generals worship the brothers, and when they were small soldiers, they were born together and died, and now they are all successful and have to be in a high position. The eldest brother Zhao Hu served as the commander of the inner guards and was responsible for the internal defense of the palace, the second brother Zhang Ying served as the general of the Zhongjing garrison and was responsible for the defense of the capital city, and the third brother Zeng Niu served as the commander of the Praetorian Guard and was responsible for the external defense of the imperial city. It can be said that the three brothers have taken care of the entire defense of the capital.

The three of them sat down, and Zhang Ying and Zeng Niu hurriedly asked Zhao Hu for news.

Zhao Hu's face was embarrassed when he heard this, and he whispered: "Your Majesty is very strict, and you can't hear any news. However, listening to His Majesty's words, he was extremely dissatisfied with the two princes. I have followed His Majesty for more than 20 years and know His Majesty's temperament very well. Looking at His Majesty's attitude, I have a bold guess in my heart, but I am not too sure, and I don't know whether to tell the two virtuous brothers. ”

Zhang Ying hurriedly said: "Big brother, you still say it and let our brothers refer to it together." ”

Zhao Hu gritted his teeth, but still cautiously said his guess: "I guess Your Majesty wants to bypass the two princes and directly pass the throne to the emperor's eldest grandson, Zhao Yide." ”

As soon as these words came out, the other two people gasped, and Zhang Ying said, "Your Majesty is not crazy." The two princes have been in business for many years, and they each have more than 30% of the country's soldiers and horses. Pass the throne to one of them, and you can also subdue the other with the Central Legion loyal to Your Majesty. Passing the throne to Zhao Yide, the emperor's eldest grandson, even if the Central Army is all loyal to him, it is only a situation of three parts of the world, and I don't know how much bloody rain will be set off. Moreover, the emperor's eldest grandson, Zhao Yide, is only sixteen years old this year, how can he beat his two uncles who are in the prime of life. ”

Zhang Ying's analysis, Zhao Hu also nodded again and again, and hurriedly said: "This is just a foolish brother's opinion, and it can't be counted." ”

After staring at Zhao Hu for a long time without saying a word, Zhang Ying suddenly sighed and said to Zhao Hu: "Big brother, you give the brothers a solid answer." This is really just your speculation, big brother, or did Your Majesty ask you to spy on our brother's tone. ”

Zhao Hu's face turned red, laughed dryly, and said embarrassedly: "I have followed Your Majesty for more than 20 years, Your Majesty treats me well, and I can only repay with death." Now that Your Majesty has decided, I can only go down a dead end. The two virtuous brothers still have a way to live, and they don't have to be sent to death with the foolish brothers. ”

When it came to this, even the stupidest Zeng Niu understood, and the three of them were speechless for a while.

After thinking about it for a long time, Zhang Ying gritted his teeth, stood up with a loud voice, and said with a flushed face: "I have a life with my eldest brother, we want to die together, we want to live together." ”

"I listen to my two brothers. Zeng Niu also said.

Seeing that the two brothers were willing to live and die with him, Zhao Hu was also greatly moved, picked up his wine glass and whispered: "If this bet wins, our three brothers are equivalent to the founding heroes, and they will be unspeakably expensive in the future." Dry. ”

The three of them raised their glasses together and drank them all.

Overheard these royal secrets, Li Zhe didn't care, anyway, it had nothing to do with him.

Seeing the sunset and the sky outside completely darkened, Li Zhe thought that it was time to leave for Liufu.

So, he paid the bill and walked out of the hotel.

Coming to the outside of the walls of Liufu, Li Zhe let go of his divine sense, covered the entire Liufu, and slowly searched for people, but did not find where Liu Ruyan was.

It was getting late, but Liu Ruyan was not in Liufu, it seemed that he was still married, and Li Zhe felt a little sad inexplicably.

After hesitating for a moment, Li Zhe still decided to go in and ask Liu Siren for clarification. If you don't make Liu Ruyan's matter clear, this thorn can't be cleaned in Li Zhe's heart.

Li Zhe used his divine sense to find Liu Siren's location, and flew over quietly.

Flying outside the room, Li Zhe felt that there were two people in the room, so he cast a stealth technique and sneaked into the room.

In the room, a man in black was talking to Liu Siren in secret, and handed over a holy decree to Liu Siren.

Liu Siren respectfully accepted the holy decree and said to the man in black: "Your Majesty's meaning, the old minister has already understood, and he should obey the decree, please rest assured." After passing the order to Liu Siren, the man in black said goodbye and returned to the palace to resume his life.

After the man in black left, Li Zhe withdrew his stealth technique and appeared in front of Liu Siren.

Liu Siren was taken aback, thinking that it was an assassin sent by the two princes.

Liu Siren's reaction made Li Zhe laugh dumbly, and he hurriedly withdrew the transfiguration technique, returned to his original appearance, and said, "Uncle Liu, don't panic, it's a little nephew." ”

Liu Siren looked at it, and the burly man in front of him suddenly turned into a handsome son, it was Li Zhe.

Compared with eight years ago, Li Zhe has just grown up, and his appearance has not changed much.

Liu Siren suddenly realized, and said with a smile: "It seems that Li Shinephew has got what he wanted." These methods are the spells of the immortals. ”

Li Zhe nodded and replied with a smile: "The little nephew is fortunate to be able to worship under the immortal sect, but his cultivation is still shallow, these are just some unpopular means, not worth mentioning." The little nephew passed by Zhongjing City and wanted to visit his uncle and sister Liu. It's just that I didn't find out that Sister Liu was in the house, so I don't know if I've married a talented person?"

Liu Siren looked at Li Zhe and smiled bitterly: "Marry, do you think my niece will marry someone else after she is engaged to you?"

After making sure that Liu Ruyan was not married, Li Zhe felt a burst of excitement in his heart and asked, "So, where is Liu Mei now?" I want to meet her. ”

Liu Siren sighed and said, "I don't know where my niece is now. It's a long story, so let me talk to you about it slowly. ”

"In the second month after you left, Ruyan begged me to accompany her to the temple to do a ritual for her father and father-in-law. That night, a strange thing happened. After returning home from the temple, Ruyan and I were drinking tea in the hall when suddenly a lady in palace clothes with a sword on her back came. ”

As soon as the palace lady appeared, the old man was like being tied with a rope, unable to move at all, and couldn't even shout if he wanted to shout. The palace lady walked up to Ruyan with a smile, took out a stone, and crushed it in one fell swoop. Some white gas emanated from the stone, quickly converging above the smoke-like head, forming five stars, and then turning into nothing in the blink of an eye. ”

The palace lady showed ecstasy on her face, and asked Ruyan if she would like to go to the Taoist path with her, and Ruyan agreed without even thinking about it. Most of my nieces have saved the path of cultivation, and maybe they can continue their relationship with you. After saying goodbye to me, Ruyan left with Mrs. Gongfu, and I don't know where I went. ”

After listening to Liu Siren's words, Li Zhe was also stunned.
