"What, you can't bear to leave?"
Amidst the hoarse questioning voice of the man in blue robe and bamboo hat, the middle-aged man in white robe remained silent. He just put his hands behind his back and looked at the young man lazily sleeping in the forest.
Yuan Tiangang turned around with his hands behind his back and sneered: "Don't forget your identity as a bad person! What did I ask you to do when I entrusted the Longquan Sword to you and Lu Youjie? Have you forgotten?"
"Since you have been exposed by someone with ulterior motives, the Longquan Sword cannot be left in your hands. Li Tang's bloodline and the path he should take are all indispensable to him."
Looking back at Li Xingyun in the distance, Yuan Tiangang smiled coldly and walked away.
"Uncle Yang, he has no choice, and you have no choice."
“One day you’re a bad person, you’ll always be a bad person!”
Uncle Yang stood there silently for a while, sighed quietly, turned around and left.
He really had no choice...
…………
There are pavilions, terraces and pavilions, and winding paths are deep and secluded.
Pool pavilion, flower garden, garden.
Everything should not be in this vast northwest scenery, and it is vividly displayed in this palace building that makes sounds from time to time.
The women who come and go all wear white clothes and wrap their faces in tulle. If an outsider hangs around here, they will just think that they have entered the daughter country.
"oh?"
The hall was filled with incense, and the light fragrance was refreshing. A figure wearing a palace-wrought gold purple dress stood up straight in the hall.
"So, the Xuanming Sect has sent people to Yuzhou?"
His Highness's messenger girl lowered her head.
"Empress, when the news came, people from the Xuanming Sect were already at the border of Yuzhou."
Looking at His Highness's report through the layers of gauze, a pair of phoenix eyes showed a thoughtful look.
"Call Ji Ruxue to see me."
Tan Bao cupped his fists and saluted, stood up and stepped back to leave.
The empress stood up, and the collapsed kitten came out. She gently touched her ankle with her head and meowed twice.
The empress smiled softly, and casually took an apple from the table next to her, "Meiguo, Meiguo, you are a cat, why do you prefer to eat apples?"
The kitten held the apple in its two front paws, narrowed its eyes in comfort, and meowed twice more.
The empress covered her mouth and chuckled, and was about to squat down to tease her, when slight footsteps came from outside the palace.
"Empress, Ji Ruxue is here."
Mei Guo slumped back down, the empress cleared her throat and sat down seriously.
"Xue'er, come in."
Ji Ruxue walked lightly into the palace, knelt down on one knee and said, "Slave, please see the empress."
The empress nodded lightly: "The spies just came to report that there is news about Longquan Sword, but they only know that it is in the Qingcheng Mountain Sword House. I want to send you to Yuzhou to check it out. What do you think?"
Ji Ruxue clasped her fists: "I obey the order, but I don't know if I find out where the Longquan Sword is, I should..."
The empress nodded: "You don't have to worry, I will send a holy lady to help you..."
After saying this, the empress paused, stood up and opened the curtain: "But the Longquan Sword is not a must-have. Don't take it with your life. You must know how to let go in time."
Ji Ruxue bowed respectfully and said, "Follow the order."
The empress thought for a while and found that she had nothing to entrust her. She waved her hand and said, "Go ahead. If there is any danger, remember to call for help in time. If necessary, I will take action."
Ji Ruxue nodded silently and retreated, leaving the empress alone in the main hall.
Turning half-heartedly into the gauze tent, the empress dragged Meiguo out and held her in her arms, looking to the southwest and whispering.
"Longquan Sword..."
…………
The underground palace was a little damp and dull, with eternal lamps burning for thousands of years on both sides of the corridor. Li Jing's footsteps echoed in the empty palace for a long time.
The everlasting lanterns lit up one by one as Li Jing walked into the palace. If future generations discover this Hall of Eternal Life built by Emperor Ming, they will surely marvel at this magical craftsmanship.
But it's a pity that Li Jing has long been accustomed to strange things. If a person lives in this underground palace day and night for several years, he will get used to it.
He was still thinking about whether Yang Yuan Tiangang would continue to ask Li Xingyun to deliver the Longquan Sword, when he suddenly felt a cold feeling coming from the front.
Li Jing paused, touched her chin and looked straight into the dark hall ahead.
After a while, a low laugh came from the front.
"Long time no see, His Highness's skills have improved again!"
Immediately afterwards, the candlelight in the hall lit up one by one until the whole hall seemed like daylight.
Li Jing frowned and took off the bamboo hat, "Mirror Heart Demon, what are you doing here?"
The pale face of the Mirror Heart Demon flickered in the flickering candlelight, so that a clown face exuded a terrifying aura.
Looking casually at the bamboo hat and bags of meat and vegetables in Li Jing's hand, Mirror Heart Demon chuckled, "I can't come here to sing for His Highness..."
Li Jing sneered and did not answer. He walked through a short corridor and put down the things in his hands in a side hall.
"Tell me, if you have anything to do with me."
Mirror Heart Demon followed him into the side hall aggrievedly, "If I have nothing to do, I can't talk to Your Highness? Is Your Highness going to the village to buy food again?"
Li Jing turned around and held down the Mirror Heart Demon: "Stop it, stop it, I don't need anyone to talk to me, just tell me the business."
Mirror Heart Demon chuckled and jumped to sit on the high platform nearby. His voice was no longer dramatic: "A few days ago, the news of Longquan Sword spread throughout the world. Does Your Highness know about this?"
Li Jing took out the meat from the lotus leaves and dried it in a dry place before replying slowly: "Longquan Sword? Didn't you say that you can find the Longquan treasure with this thing? Do you think I can know it in this remote place?" What."
Mirror Heart Demon squinted his eyes and looked at Li Jing's expression, but Li Jing just wiped his hands and said happily: "What, you want to send me to find this Longquan Sword?"
How could it be him...
The Mirror Heart Demon withdrew his gaze and pondered for a moment before saying, "The commander-in-chief ordered me to take His Highness to Taiyuan."
Li Jing turned around in confusion, "Taiyuan?"
Mirror Heart Demon lowered his head and looked at his palm, "The commander-in-chief said that it is not appropriate to keep His Highness in this underground palace all day long. If His Highness can hibernate in Taiyuan with the slave, he will be a great force for the restoration of the great cause in the future."
How can it be!
Li Jing was shocked. Will Yuan Tiangang release the fake Li in advance?
Why is this different from the script?
Looking at Li Jing's expression, Jing Xinmo frowned and asked, "What do you mean, Your Highness?"
Li Jing randomly found a stool and sat down, facing the Mirror Heart Demon, tapping his thighs with his fingers irregularly: "What's the use of my going to Taiyuan? You are there in Taiyuan, why do you ask me to add superfluous things to the situation?"
Mirror Heart Demon was also confused at first, but he still said: "This is the commander-in-chief's wish, and the slave will naturally obey it."
A bright light suddenly flashed in Li Jing's mind, and an idea suddenly came to his mind.
He raised his head and put his face close to the Mirror Heart Demon: "Jing Heart Demon, do you think I can be the emperor?"
"Your Highness must be the Emperor." Mirror Heart Demon answered immediately without thinking.
"What will the commander do to me if I don't want to be emperor anymore?"
"The commander-in-chief will..."
Mirror Heart Demon turned his head suddenly, looked at Li Jing with a smile on his face, and said in surprise, "Not the Emperor?"
Li Jing stood up seriously, "Why do I want to be emperor? This emperor belongs to Li Tang, what does it have to do with me?"
Mirror Heart Demon was a little flustered and felt that the situation was a little different, so he stood up and said, "But the commander..."
Li Jing's heart beat faster and faster, and suddenly she felt that she had fallen into a misunderstanding.
Why do I have to compete with Li Xingyun for the position of emperor? What will happen to Yuan Tiangang if he doesn't compete with Li Xingyun for the position of emperor.
The only thing is, why did Yuan Tiangang let me go to Taiyuan...
The thoughts in his heart became clearer and clearer, Li Jing exhaled and clenched his fingers.
Who cares, this game of chess is enough to turn him upside down!
Li Jing looked directly at the demon in the mirror and said word by word: "I don't want the emperor anymore."
"I'm going to do it, bad guy."
The Mirror Heart Demon was horrified.
