Chapter 20: The Uninvited Guest

Li Xun came out of the secret room and was about to go back to the house to rest. Seeing the butler coming at a panicked trot, he frowned and asked, "Butler, what's wrong?"

As soon as the housekeeper saw that it was Li Xun, he said, "Master, it's not good! After the young lady came back, she has been hiding in the room and crying, and she has been crying for a long time!"

Li Xun was taken aback, wondering if Dao Lu'er didn't go to find Zhao Yu, she should have returned happily, could it be that something happened to Zhao Yu?

A quiet and elegant courtyard.

The courtyard is planted with flowers and plants, which is very elegant, and with the night, it looks even more clean and elegant.

At this time, the crying sound from a room in the courtyard was extremely incompatible with the silence in the courtyard.

The door of the room was wide open, and the doorway was littered with shards of porcelain.

Li Xun and the housekeeper came to the small courtyard, and he heard the cry from afar, and he was very surprised to see the mess at the door. Although Li Lu is naughty and playful, she has a good temper and rarely gets angry and throws things. Li Xun stepped up.

The two maids at the door saw that Li Xun was coming, so they saluted and said, "Master." ”

"There's nothing to do with you here, go down!" Li Xun glanced at them lightly and said coldly.

The two maids promised to leave.

Li Xun said to the housekeeper behind him: "Butler, you should go back and rest early." ”

The housekeeper obeyed the order and left, and Li Xun saw that everyone had left, so he moved into the room.

Li Lu crawled on his bed at this time and sobbed against the wall, and when he heard the footsteps, he said impatiently: "Didn't you all let you all go out, why do you still come in, don't bother me!"

Li Xun frowned, and when he saw his beloved daughter's sad look, his heart hurt, so he said softly: "Lu'er, what's wrong with you? Who made you angry? Tell your father, and your father will help you get out of this bad breath!"

Li Lu was startled, turned his head and stood up, wiped the tears in his eyes and said, "Dad, it's you!"

"Didn't you go to see the prince, what happened?"

Li Lu wiped away her tears and said, "Brother Yu doesn't want me anymore!" After finishing speaking, he threw himself into Li Xun's arms and cried again.

Li Xun saw his beloved daughter crying again, his heart was sour, and he stroked her hair and said, "Okay, it's okay." Tell Daddy what's going on?"

After a while, after Li Lu's mood stabilized a little, he told Li Xun about Zhao Yu's intention to become a monk.

Li Xun was surprised when he heard this, and secretly rejoiced in his heart. He had been plotting with Prince Yi for a long time, wanting to bring down Zhao Yu and help Prince Yi inherit the throne. If the prince becomes a monk, he will save a lot of trouble. He thought of it in his heart, and on the surface he did pretend to have a big headache.

Li Lu watched his father pacing around with his hands behind his back with a gloomy face, and then snorted: "Brother Yu must have fallen in love with a nun from a monastery before deciding to become a monk." I've heard people say that nuns like monks the most!"

"Nonsense!" Li Xun yelled with a gloomy face.

Li Lu was startled, and quickly shut up, she was wronged, and her tears almost flowed out again.

Seeing this, Li Xun said softly: "Lu'er, don't worry, the prince will not become a monk." The crown prince still has to inherit the unification of our Qingyang Kingdom, how can he become a monk. Even if the prince wants to become a monk, if his father is here, his father will write to the emperor to stop him!"

Li Lu wiped her tears, stared at her big eyes and said, "Really?"

Li Xun smiled and said softly: "Of course it's true, when did Dad lie to you." ”

After Li Lu heard this, he smiled again.

Li Xun saw that the lively and cute little girl seemed to be back again, so he said, "Okay, don't think about it, rest early." ”

Li Xun helped Li Lu cover the quilt, comforted her a few more words, and then helped her close the door and leave. He instantly seemed to be a different person, and said hatefully: "Since you want to become a monk, then don't blame us for being ruthless!"

A black figure was suspended outside the walls of General Li's mansion, and a lamp in front of him emitted a faint green light, like a ghostly fire.

The man in black stared at the four words "General Li's Mansion" in front of the mansion and said to himself: "The Yuan Soul Lantern shows that the immortal soul has been here before his death, maybe there will be some progress!" After speaking, he turned into a black light and flashed in.

Along the way, Li Xun has been thinking about the prince's desire to become a monk and his and Prince Yi's plan to seize power. He thought so hard that a black shadow swept over the city wall and entered the general's mansion, wandering around the mansion without him noticing it.

Li Xun unconsciously returned to the small courtyard where he lived along the road, and suddenly he felt a cool, cold murderous aura coming from the front. Startled, he looked up to see a black figure levitating four or five feet in front of him. He clearly felt that the black figure exuded an incomparably sharp murderous aura from its body. His first reaction was to see the hell, he was so frightened that he wanted to turn his head and run away, but before he could make any movements, two huge black ghost claws suddenly appeared on the ground where he was standing, firmly grasping his legs, and his legs were grabbed by this disgusting giant claw, as if they were stuck on the ground, unable to move.

Li Xun was shocked.

Li Xun is the first warrior of Qingyang Kingdom, and he has the courage of ten thousand people, and his arms can lift thousands of pounds of boulders. At this moment, he was trapped by the black ghost claws, his eyes were full of fear, and he stared at the black figure in front of him.

The black shadow flickered, and it appeared in front of Li Xun in a breath.

Li Xun looked at the face of the man in black in front of him with a shocked face, the face of an old man with a withered face, and a faint black gas lingering on his face, it looked like a living person, but it looked like a dry corpse that had been dead for a long time.

The old man with a black shadow stared at Li Xun with a pair of sharp eyes.

As soon as Li Xun's eyes came into contact with the old man's eyes, he felt cold all over, as if he was in a thousand-year-old ice cellar.

The black shadow figure stared at the trapped Li Xun and said, "Who are you?"

When Li Xun heard this, his face became inexplicable, and he thought to himself, "You broke into my mansion in the middle of the night and asked me who I am!" But he saw the power of the old man in black, and said respectfully on the surface: "The junior is Li Xun, the general of the Zhenguo of this Qingyang Kingdom, I don't know who the senior is?"

"I'll ask you something, if you dare not tell the truth, I will make you not want to live, you can't die!" The old man of the black shadow did not answer his question immediately, and said coldly.

"Seniors, please ask! If the juniors know, they will definitely tell the truth and never hide it!" Li Xun said.

Two black objects flew out of the sleeves of the black-clothed old man and levitated in front of Li Xun.

The old man in black said, "Have you ever seen this thing?"

Li Xun stared carefully at the two objects in front of him, the two objects seemed to be one thing, as if they had been destroyed, and after a while, he said with a shocked face: "This is the real person of the fairy soul."

The old man in black stared at him, and when he saw him say the name of the immortal soul, he knew that most of the people in front of him knew the ins and outs of the matter. He whispered as if talking to himself: "The immortal soul has really been here", and then said to Li Xun: "Do you recognize this thing?"

Li Xun didn't dare to hide it, so he said bluntly: "Yes, this is the magic weapon of the Immortal Soul True Person, how can it be destroyed now, and it still falls into your hands, do you put the Immortal Soul True Person" He was so excited that he didn't say the following words, the Immortal Soul True Person was closely related to their plan to seize power. Once something happens to the immortal soul, his and Prince Yi's efforts will be in vain.

The old man in black naturally didn't know what Li Xun was thinking now, and said coldly: "I am the senior uncle of the immortal soul. The fairy has disappeared here for no reason, I have come to look for him, if you have any clues, tell me, I can spare your life. ”

When Li Xun heard that this person turned out to be the senior uncle of the immortal soul, he was shocked in his heart, thinking that if he could help me, why worry about the big thing, but he did say: "It turned out to be the old man who died down." I often hear the fairy soul real person mention the name of your predecessor, he often says that your old man is his benefactor, is the father of his rebirth, and often says that the predecessor is unfathomable!"

Silence said: "The immortal soul is very filial, it is rare to think of me often, he told you my name, it can be seen that he knows you, and I will spare your life today!" As soon as his voice fell, he didn't see any movements, and the huge ghost claws that bound Li Xun's legs disappeared into the ground.

Li Xun saw that his legs suddenly relaxed, and when he looked down, the two disgusting ghost claws that had been clutching his legs were gone. He hurriedly saluted to Silence and said, "Thank you seniors for not killing, and I will tell you everything I know." This place is not a place for discussion, and it is troublesome for the seniors to move to my secret room for discussion. ”

Li Xun said, lead the way in front, and followed with a cold snort.

In a secret room, Li Xun asked Silence to sit down on the main seat, and he also sat down on a chair.

Silence said impatiently: "For now, you can tell me the ins and outs of the matter, and the purpose of my nephew's visit." ”

Li Xun didn't dare to slack off, so he reported the situation in Qingyang Kingdom, the disagreement between the crown prince and Prince Yi, and the plan to seize power with Prince Yi.

When Silence heard that Li Xun asked the immortal soul to help him seize power, he couldn't help but be furious: "You and other ordinary people actually let my nephew help you seize power, and hurt his life a few times!" He then said: "I don't know what my fool is trying to do with you, and he actually helps with all his might!"

Li Xun was furious when he saw the silence, and he was shocked, and hurriedly said: "Senior, please calm your anger! Today, the emperor of Qingyang Kingdom has a strange treasure in his hand, and I once promised the immortal soul real person, and after the matter is completed, the strange treasure will belong to him." ”

"Strange treasure?" said Silence.

"Yes. Li Xun said categorically.

The vision of the self-sustaining immortal soul is by no means bad, and it is by no means a person who is greedy for the glory and wealth of the mortal world, what aroused his interest, so he said coldly: "Then dare to ask who left this strange treasure?"
