Liu Mingzhi suddenly froze when he stepped into the palace door, turned around suddenly and looked at Liu Si and the others with his pupils narrowed.
"What did you say?"
"Reply to the young master, the master has been assassinated and is in danger."
Even if Liu Mingzhi was beaten to death, he would not dare to doubt that dead men like Liu Si and the others would use this kind of thing to deceive him. He believed Liu Si's words deeply.
However, how did he know that Liu Si did not dare to lie to him with these words, but he was following Liu Zhi'an's order.
A flash of panic flashed deep in Liu Mingzhi's eyes, and the words "dangerous" made his heart sting suddenly. He quickly turned to look at Xiao Dezi, who also looked a little stunned.
"Eunuch De, if you can please tell His Majesty, please tell me that I have important matters to deal with and I really can't face you. Please!"
"Farewell!"
Before Xiao Dezi could react, Young Master Liu had already leapt towards the Liu Mansion.
Liu Si and the others breathed a sigh of relief, glanced fearfully at the crossbow with a cold light flashing in the hands of the Forbidden Army, nodded slightly to Commander Chen, turned around and chased after Young Master Liu.
Xiao Dezi came back to his senses and looked at the retreating figures of Liu Dashao and the four others. He didn't care to say anything to Commander Chen. He flicked the fly whisk in his hand and flew towards the harem, leaving behind a series of afterimages. ,
However, the eighteen-year-old Xiao Dezi actually displayed the strength that can only be displayed by an eighth-level master in the world.
If you are serious about being a real person, don’t show your appearance. If you show your appearance, you are not a real person.
Even Young Master Liu, who knew that Xiao Dezi was a very powerful person, would never have imagined that Xiao Dezi could reach the eighth level.
In the imperial study room, Li Ye, the well-fed and well-fed emperor, was doing his own thing. He stopped placing the wine glasses and looked deeply at the panting Xiao Dezi.
"you sure?"
Xiao Dezi looked at Li Ye's deep and suspicious eyes, his expression flickered, he calmed down his breath and hurriedly knelt in front of Li Ye.
"Your Majesty, even if you give Xiao Dezi ten thousand courages, we don't dare to talk nonsense. This is really what we heard with our own ears outside the palace gate."
"The guard maintained by the Liu family told the prince himself that Liu Weng was assassinated and the situation is now very critical. He hopes that the prince will rush back to take charge of the overall situation!"
Li Ye looked at Xiao Dezi's trembling appearance kneeling in front of him and knew that he had indeed not lied to him. He put down the wine glass in his hand and slowly sat on the chair and pondered for a moment while staring at Xiao Dezi closely.
"When you went to Liu Mansion to meet your uncle, did you notice anything unusual in Liu Mansion?"
Xiao Dezi pondered for a while and silently shook his head: "To report back to Your Majesty, we didn't find anything wrong! There was laughter and laughter everywhere, and the atmosphere that the New Year should have should be everywhere.
The servants and maids of the Liu Mansion are all celebrating the festival, and it really doesn't look like there is any hidden danger.
"correct!"
Li Ye's eyes lit up and he stared at Xiao Dezi closely: "What did you remember? Tell me quickly!"
"After we met the prince, we always felt that something was wrong with him, but we couldn't tell what was wrong. I always felt that there was something different from the prince I had met a few times before. I seemed to have an absent-minded feeling, and I felt like my soul was wandering. Are you thinking about something important?"
"anything else?"
"No, apart from these, we didn't see anything weird!"
Li Ye waved his hand with a thoughtful look: "I understand, please step aside first and go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to collect a reward of one hundred taels of silver."
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty, long live long live!"
Xiao Dezi, who lowered his head and exited the palace door, let out a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
He glanced at the imperial study behind him with lingering fear. Although Li Ye was young, the pressure on his body really made him scared.
Walking towards the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Xiao Dezi took out a banknote from his sleeve and looked at it. Looking at the number one thousand on it, the excitement of going to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to receive one hundred taels of silver suddenly became less exciting.
After Xiao Dezi left, Li Ye gently clapped his hands, and a man in a black robe and cloak floated down from the roof of the palace.
"See Your Majesty!"
"Senior Li Kan, do you think what Xiao Dezi said is possible?"
A pair of shining eyes appeared under Li Kan's cloak: "Your Majesty, Liu Ye's intelligence ability is unparalleled in the world and has few rivals. I really can't imagine that a person from an aristocratic family, a person from the Jianghu, or a dead soldier raised by someone would dare to be here. Under the protection of Liu Ye, Liu Zhi'an, the head of the Liu family, was assassinated.
Although Liu Zhi'an is just a businessman with no physical strength, he has the power of wealth and spiritual power. Not to mention how far Nei Liu has grown, as far as Wai Liu is concerned, his strength is comparable to that of Da Nei's bodyguard. Assassination, at stake..."
"So that's a lie?"
"Not quite!"
"What's the explanation?"
"The big tree attracts the wind, the embankment is higher than the case, and the waves will destroy it. The four major families have been entrenched in the dragon for a long time, and it may not be impossible for someone to replace it.
The Geng family in Huzhou, the Kong family in Yanzhou, the Luo family in Mizhou, the Hu family in Tanzhou, the Han family in Guozhou, Jianghu Zhongwu League, Yunjiashan, and Yanyunling have been active recently, and they seem to have the power of a tiger descending from the mountain. "
"How strong are these forces?"
"They are all heroes who have been entrenched in one area. The Luo family and the Han family are old families that have existed for hundreds of years. The master of Crouching Tiger Ridge, one of the eighteen ridges in Yanyunling, broke through the innate realm years ago, adding to Yanyunling's An innate master who can surpass the heroes of the five palaces may not have the intention to reach a higher level.
In this case, Liu Zhi'an's assassination is not impossible. "
"So, these people can overturn the status of the four major families in the world?"
"No, but if there are too many ants, they can kill the elephant. Anything is possible. However, no matter what, the court only needs to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight. The more powerful they fight, the more beneficial it is to the court."
Li Ye nodded clearly: "It is said that the leader of the Martial League is a beautiful woman with a beautiful appearance and great strength. When the third uncle rebelled, he sent people to recruit them and wanted to fight against your spy. I don't know the truth. Fake?"
"It is indeed true, but since then, the leader of the Martial Alliance has become more and more invisible. No one has ever seen her true face in Lushan. Even though I sent a large number of spies to investigate, it was of no avail. The identity of the leader of the Martial Alliance has always seemed to be shrouded in mystery.
However, your Majesty can rest assured that as of now, thirty-eight spies have been buried within the Wu League. I think the truth will eventually be revealed one day. "
"How does the Martial Alliance compare to the Spy Shadow?"
"Although I can't be called a clown, I'm just a slut. The 600-year-old heritage of the dynasty is not comparable to that of an emerging strength. But if you use it well, it can be a great help and can control some restless people in the world! "
"Hmm... I recruit people from the Martial Alliance at all costs to serve me. They have become so lively recently. It is said that there are endless masters from the Martial Alliance, and there are many people from all walks of life. If I am taking them under my command, it will be a big help."
"I know. I will find a way to get in touch with the leader of the martial alliance of this rising star in the world to test her intentions. If I can successfully recruit her, I suggest that your majesty include her as one of the concubines in the palace to prevent her from becoming pregnant. Two minds.”
Li Ye was startled, and a beautiful image of pear blossoms with rain flashed in his mind. His eyes hesitated for a long time, and he struggled to nod: "I understand, pay close attention to this matter!"
"I obey the decree! I resign!"
On the main road of the capital, Young Master Liu, with full internal strength, jumped several feet away in the direction of Liu Mansion, leaving Liu Si and others far behind.
However, Liu Mingzhi, who was in a panic, did not realize that the restless feeling that he had been suppressing with his internal strength became more intense because of his full exertion of Qing Gong.
Not to mention that the distance he leaped was getting shorter and shorter.
Finally, only a few hundred meters away from the Liu Mansion, just a street away, Young Master Liu's eyes became completely confused, with an obvious wild look.
"Master, please slow down, wait for the brothers!"
However, Liu Si's words still fell on deaf ears to Young Master Liu. He just wanted to find something to vent the furious anger in his heart.
"Master, you have great skills, we can..."
Liu Si, who had just been holding Young Master Liu's shoulder and was breathing heavily, suddenly flew away and took a few steps to stabilize his figure.
Liu Si hurriedly used his kung fu to suppress the surging aura in his body that was shaken by the young master's palm.
"Master, what are you doing?"
Young Master Liu glanced back at the shocked people with red eyes, and ran towards the street quickly.
Liu Si's expression changed with shock, and he looked at the group of Liu Ye brothers around him: "Quickly stop the young master."
"Yes, fourth brother!"
However, the people who were chasing after Young Master Liu were knocked back by Liu Mingzhi's sudden turn. He immediately stabilized his figure to calm down the surge of energy and blood in his body, and looked at the back of Young Master Liu in astonishment as he leaped away. When did his inner strength become so strong?
On the main Qinglong Road, a carriage that was not luxurious but was extremely expensive was slowly driving towards the palace.
In the carriage, a beautiful woman in her early thirties, wearing a gorgeous palace dress, was speaking softly and teaching the somewhat absent-minded young man in a python robe across from her.
"Tao'er, when we meet your imperial brother, we must be humble and courteous, and we must not be arrogant or arrogant. He is now the emperor, so we must pay attention to our status, so as not to mislead him into thinking that you are disobedient.
The Tian family is ruthless, and for the sake of the country and the country, brotherly love is just a joke. "
The young man opposite silently glanced at the beautiful woman opposite, and nodded slightly: "I know, mother, you have said these words 800 times along the way. If you don't bother me, I will be tired."
The beautiful woman hesitated to speak and glanced at the young man opposite her, and sighed silently: "Mom, please stop being verbose when you say another sentence, as long as you understand clearly.
Once the emperor and the courtier, he is the emperor and you are the minister. There is an insurmountable gap between you. I hope you will never have any inappropriate thoughts.
The world has been settled. Mother only hopes that you can live a peaceful life, marry a wife and have children, and let my mother watch over you..."
"Be brave, stop those who come, don't rush into Zhao Wang Qiansui and Nisigong Tai..."
A muffled groan came, the curtain of the carriage was opened by the sharp cold wind, and a delicate scream cut through the quiet street before disappearing in the blink of an eye.
After a while of drinking tea, the young man in the carriage stared blankly at the beautiful woman who had disappeared on the other side, with a somewhat panicked expression on his face and a faint strange look in his eyes.
The little eunuch on the side also came back to his senses and looked at the young man in the python robe with his whole body trembling: "Your Majesty, the concubine has been kidnapped by the thieves. The concubine has been kidnapped by the thieves.
How could this happen? How could this happen? If we had known that the capital was so unsafe, we shouldn't have placed the guards at the inn!
Your Majesty, let’s go quickly to meet His Majesty and ask him to send the Imperial Guards and Imperial Guards to rescue the Dowager Empress! "
The young man looked at the helpless little eunuch and shouted coldly: "Shut up, how unbecoming is it to be so flustered!"
"Yes, yes, we know the crime, but the concubine, she..."
The young man stood up and opened the curtains of the carriage, glanced at the deserted street, glanced at the coachman who was just knocked out and was not in danger of life, and retracted his body, looking at the little eunuch beside him with ghostly eyes.
"The lonely king asks you, have you seen the thief's face clearly?"
"No...no!"
A hint of murderous intent flashed through the young man's bright eyes: "Seriously?"
"We are all blind. We really didn't see the true face of the thief. Please spare my life, Your Majesty."
Looking at the little eunuch who kept kowtowing, the young master slowly leaned on the carriage. The face of the man who kidnapped his mother and concubine flashed before his eyes, and his eyes were a little hesitant.
After a long time, the young man breathed out gently.
"Little Fangzi!"
"We are here, we are here!"
"Help Zheng Da back and continue on the way to the palace. Don't make any noise about this matter. I have my own opinion!"
"Ah? But the Queen Mother..."
"Um?"
"Yes, we obey the order, we obey the order."
Hearing the sound of Xiao Fangzi jumping out of the carriage, the young man slowly closed his eyes. A sense of powerlessness spread in the carriage, and memories of the almost forgotten past appeared in his mind.
I, Liu Mingzhi, support the eldest son of the emperor, Li Ye, to ascend the throne as emperor. Which of his colleagues has any objection?
