Chapter 17: The Central Plains Becomes Heavenly

readx; After the five of them found a place outside the city to tie up their horses, they found a place to sit down and rest. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info want to climb over the wall into the city during the day, although it's not impossible, but it will inevitably be discovered, or it's more convenient to act at night.

"I'll go and ask around, you guys sit down first. Ye Qiuli got up, said hello and went to inquire about the nearby residents.

"Li Guochang is probably dead. Xiao Sheng opened his mouth, his tone was very heavy, "Li Zixiu came back earlier than us, which can only mean that he rushed back non-stop." And it is probably no coincidence that he became a regent as soon as he returned. ā€

"This old fox, is he trying to rebel!" Li Xiaoyao has completely broken with Li Zixiu, and there has never been such a thing as father-son affection between the two.

"Now he shouldn't dare to rebel openly, after all, Li Guochang still has an heir left, and this prince is still alive, so it will not be his turn to be the emperor. Xiao Sheng's brows furrowed.

"I can't say!" Xiao Xinyan obviously didn't believe in Li Zixiu's character.

"Damn!" Li Xiaoyao slapped his thigh, "Why is this troublesome thing over?"

After listening to Li Xiaoyao's complaints, several people were silent, quietly waiting for Ye Qiuli's news.

After a while, Ye Qiuli came back, and his face was very ugly.

"It's last month, Li Guochang has been dead for a month!" Ye Qiuli obviously didn't expect that things had happened for so long.

"Impossible! Last month, we and Li Zixiu were still on the snowy mountain! We saw him with our own eyes!" Li Xiaoyao was shocked, and the matter began to get complicated, "Isn't it him? What a coincidence? Impossible, this is impossible!"

Villagers said that on that night last month, the city of Chang'an was filled with murder, and the next day the news of Li Guochang's death came out. Ye Qiuli continued.

"Could it be the Demon Sect?" Xiao Sheng muttered, "Where did they get their strength? They really want to kill Li Guochang if they don't want to kill Li Guochang? What can they do if they kill Li Guochang? The royal family is not declining, and the death of a Li Guochang cannot shake the power of the Central Plains at all. ā€

"The Li family on the Great Bright Palace!" Li Xiaoyao suddenly understood something, "It's from the Great Bright Palace!" When I was rectifying the village a few days ago, I found that many outstanding disciples of the Li family were sent to the Great Bright Palace!"

"Sure enough, is it cooperating with the Demon Sect? But neither side is a good person! The people on one side led a large group of people to kill the old lair of the people, and the people on the other side were ambushing the elite of the entire Central Plains Martial Arts. Xiao Sheng sneered, his tone full of mockery, "I guess I've torn my face this time." ā€

"But in the end, it was Li Zixiu who came out on top! We went to his head at night! We actually sent the disciples of the Li family to the Great Guangming Palace, I really didn't take the lives of my Li family seriously!" Li Xiaoyao looked very angry, what kind of place is the Great Guangming Palace, and it is estimated that not half of the disciples of the Li family sent by Li Zixiu will be able to come back.

"No! Now Li Zixiu is surrounded by disciples of the Li family from the Great Bright Palace, and it is difficult to please us with the assassination methods of a few of us. "Ye Qiuli is much calmer than Li Xiaoyao, although with the martial arts of several of them, it is already difficult to meet opponents in the world, but two fists are difficult to defeat four hands, once surrounded, it is death.

"Xiaoyao, you have become very uncalm when you encounter something about your father, don't you want to get involved in this matter?" Xiao Sheng pressed Li Xiaoyao's shoulder, his tone was inquiring, but there was some undoubtedness.

"No! this matter is my family matter, and I have to break it with my own hands!" Li Xiaoyao patted Xiao Sheng's hand on his shoulder and stood up.

The drunk also stood up silently and stood behind Li Xiaoyao to express his support for him.

Xiao Sheng and Ye Qiuli glanced at each other, very helpless, this is indeed a family matter of the Li family, and it is indeed inappropriate not to let Li Xiaoyao participate, but ......

"You participate, but listen to me. Xiao Sheng spoke, but he didn't mean to give in on the most important thing, after all, Li Xiaoyao's current state of mind was not suitable for command.

"As long as the last sword is mine!" Li Xiaoyao obviously understood his current problems, and did not embarrass Xiao Sheng.

Xiao Sheng smiled, got up and gave Li Xiaoyao a hug, and said, "Good brother!"

Ye Qiuli on the side also stood up, put a fist against Li Xiaoyao's chest, and the three of them looked at each other and laughed.

"No! Oh no! There's a fire in the capital!"

The sudden exclamation interrupted the laughter of the three of them, and the three of them were all startled when they heard this, and hurriedly dodged and swept up the branches. The three of them had excellent eyesight, and they all saw the flames in the distance.

"Not good! That location is the Imperial Palace!" Ye Qiuli's eyesight was the best among the three, and he was also the most familiar with the capital, so he immediately identified the location of the fire.

"Could it be!" Li Xiaoyao suddenly realized something, and wanted to rush in the direction of the palace, but was stopped by Xiao Sheng.

"It's late!" Xiao Sheng's tone was calm, and there seemed to be a fire burning in his eyes.

Li Xiaoyao's face turned pale, and he punched the tree, leaving a deep fist mark, and the entire tree shook: "Damn!"

......

"Damn the remnants of the Demon Sect, you dare to set fire to the palace!" In front of the burning hall, there stood a middle-aged man dressed in black clothes. There wasn't much decoration on the costume, just a five-clawed golden dragon circling and flying, which turned out to be a dragon robe!

A dark shadow flashed beside the middle-aged man, leaving a sentence: "The prince is dead." ā€

The middle-aged man smiled at the corner of his mouth, obviously very satisfied with the result.

"The prince has been burned to death!" suddenly a frightened voice came from the burning hall, and then the entire palace screamed in horror.

"A bunch of waste! Even the crown prince can't protect it! The people who are still alive in the Qing Palace are all dragged out and beheaded!" The middle-aged man's angry voice spread throughout the palace, but no one saw a sneer on the corner of the middle-aged man's mouth.

This middle-aged man is none other than the regent Li Zixiu!

"Xiao Sheng, Xiao Sheng! You didn't expect that I, Li, would still have this hand! When I am called the emperor, how can there be any place in the world for you!" Li Zi restrained his expression, trying not to let himself laugh out loud.

The Central Plains has changed the sky, and the sky has really changed.

......

In the autumn of the third year of Emperor Wen of Dayin, Emperor Wen Li Guochang was assassinated and died, and the crown prince died in a fire.

In the same year, Emperor Wu Li Zixiu ascended the throne and made his second son Li Zizai the crown prince. After Emperor Wu ascended the throne, he issued an edict to the world: "The traitors Xiao Sheng, Li Xiaoyao, Ye Qiuli and others will unite with the Demon Sect to assassinate the former emperor and kill the crown prince, and the whole world will punish him!

For a time, the Central Plains was in turmoil.
