"You want to go out?"
The mature and aloof middle-aged handsome man was leaning against the tree trunk, with his hands folded across his chest, and his tone was calm and unkind.
"nature."
The tall and handsome man with golden and red hair had no expression on his face at this time. While replying, he lowered his head slightly, looked at the group of insect shadows blocking his chest, and stopped in his tracks.
The handsome middle-aged man raised his eyebrows: "Once you enter the Twelve Cave, you will have no connection with the outside world. You knew this rule when you entered - Li Maozhen."
The latter just put his hands behind his back, and there was no movement in the golden-red strange boy.
"You can't stop me now, Old Eleven."
The master of Eleventh Cave sneered: "Do you really think that after practicing the death poison Gu and practicing the insect technique for more than ten years, you will be invincible?"
Li Maozhen looked at him sideways and her tone became slightly colder: "You can try it."
The atmosphere suddenly stagnated.
But after a moment, the master of Eleventh Cave straightened up, shrugged, and then stepped aside.
"In that case, you can go out."
Li Maozhen, who was already ready to take action, frowned when he heard this, and then looked at the person in front of him in surprise.
The master of Eleventh Cave crossed his chest with his hands and walked away.
"If you don't listen to the old man's words, you will suffer the consequences..."
Li Maozhen snorted coldly, but did not look back and walked out.
But immediately, the lazy voice of the Eleventh Cave Master came from behind him again.
"After we go out, we will no longer be from Twelve Cave - if something happens, we will no longer have anything to do with Twelve Cave."
In response, Li Maozhen did not answer, and his steps did not stop.
He walked out without any regrets.
The master of Eleventh Cave turned around and watched his figure disappear at the entrance of the cave. He just sighed, then turned around and helplessly spread his hands toward the hillside in the distance.
On the hillside, an energetic old man was playing with a small purple sand pot and said in a joking tone: "What? Can't bear to part with it?"
The owner of the big cave next to him had a straw hat on his head and looked like a bitter melon farmer.
He turned the rosary in his hand and said sadly:
"well--"
"He also said that if he takes over the position, I will feel relieved..."
The old man laughed, then stretched leisurely, turned around and walked back.
"Go back, he has nothing to do with you anymore——"
"But that boy of mine decided to come in and see me, the old man.
This time, you can't stop me. "
Listening to the pride in his tone, veins popped up on Dadong Master's forehead.
He twirled the rosary vigorously and cursed secretly: "Why are you so proud! It's not your son——"
But in the end, he stopped silent.
It seemed that he was thinking of someone who frightened him.
…………
…………
The exquisite robes of King Qi, the golden crown that symbolizes status, and the red moiré pattern between the eyebrows are just the same as they were more than ten years ago.
They can still tell the world——
He, Li Maozhen, was still the powerful king of the vassals who mastered military strategy and arbitrarily ruled over the forty states!
Full of pride and sharpness.
Kill all the disobedient people in the world with just one word!
…
Li Maozhen looked at the reflection in the river quietly and remained silent for a long time.
Everything seemed to be exactly the same as when he first entered Twelve Cave.
Only the strand of white hair on his forehead was telling the story of the more than ten years he had passed away.
He snorted coldly, and a burst of arrogance instantly shattered the water surface, making the reflection in it invisible.
Li Maozhen stood up, put her hands behind her hands and headed north.
This time back to the Central Plains——
Qi country is the only one!
…………
The wooden boat sailed to the shore. Li Jing got off the boat first, then stretched out his hand and pulled the empress who was holding her son ashore together.
on both sides of the strait
Zhong Xiaokui, who had been accompanying him, brought the mount.
A carriage was originally prepared for the Empress, but she still refused to ride. The Miao territory is no better than the Central Plains. The roads are mostly rugged and uneven, making it difficult for carriages to travel.
It would be much more convenient to ride a horse with my son in my arms.
So, Li Jing held the empress in her arms, and the latter held her son in her arms, and set out for Twelve Cave.
The first stop is, of course, Luohua Cave.
When they arrived at the place, all the accompanying knights stopped and stopped far outside the Luohua Cave.
After many years, the maple leaf forest here is still like a prairie fire, with patches of flaming red stretching for miles.
Ji Ruxue raised her eyebrows lightly.
It turns out that the emperor took the empress to these places -
No wonder the empress is willing to sacrifice her life for him...
Li Jing turned over and dismounted, stretched out her arm, and prepared to take the empress' hand.
But at the same time, a tall and arrogant figure slowly walked out of the cave door not far away.
Li Jing heard the movement and subconsciously turned his head to look.
Their eyes immediately met in the air.
"It's you!?"
The two of them made surprised sounds at the same time.
Li Maozhen, who was standing at the cave door, stopped instantly, and the muscles on his face moved faintly.
Just because he saw that among the more than a thousand cavalrymen behind Li Jing, flags with the word "Tang" painted on them were constantly flying in the maple forest.
Damn——
The veins on the back of Li Maozhen's hands bulged. He looked over and looked at the empress again who was being helped off the horse by Li Jing.
But then he suddenly became confused.
How many years have it been since I saw my daughter’s body...
The empress glanced at him, then looked away.
Because Li Maozhen's complexion was ugly from beginning to end.
Zhong Xiaokui led people to protect him.
"You all get down."
Although Li Jing didn't expect to meet her brother-in-law here, she wasn't too surprised.
This trip to Twelve Cave was originally to meet him and the uncle.
The empress had a sullen face and said nothing.
Ji Ruxue was a little surprised. She used to think that King Qi had died long ago, so the empress had to pretend to be King Qi to protect the country and the people...
Since he's not dead, why are he hiding in Miao territory?
In the end, it was Li Jing who took the lead to break the deadlock. He smiled heartily:
"Brother-in-law, long time no see, you are fine now."
"snort--"
Li Maozhen put her hands behind her back, turned her eyes from the empress to Li Jing, and then spoke coldly.
"Why did you come to Miao territory?"
Li Jing pressed her belt and laughed dumbly: "The Miao territory is also the territory of the Tang Dynasty, why can't I come?"
Li Maozhen's eyes became increasingly gloomy.
When they met in Twelve Cave a few years ago, Li Jing told him that the Tang Dynasty had been revived. But at that time, he didn't believe it at all.
No one knows the situation of corruption in the world better than a great prince like him who is divided into one side.
How could the Tang Dynasty's demise be stopped by manpower?
Even if there really is that bad handsome guy like Fu Zuo, it's impossible!
With a sneer, Li Maozhen walked down the stone steps.
"If you are the emperor, how can you personally come to this land of Miao territory? Miao territory and the Central Plains have always had grievances for a long time. Who in the world doesn't know about it? You are just pretending to be here, how dare you hide this from me?"
"enough!"
The empress spoke coldly.
Zhong Xiaokui, who was behind, saw that the situation was not good. He was worried about the emperor's safety and feared that the secrets of the Tian family would be leaked. He immediately used his internal power to isolate the fluctuations in their voices.
Li Jing raised her hand and stopped the empress.
He smiled warmly and said, "Brother-in-law has indeed misunderstood. The reason why I am here today is because it is my wife, my sister, who gave birth to my child last year.
But she remembered that her brother-in-law was far away in Miao territory, so she traveled thousands of miles to bring him to meet her brother-in-law so that her uncle and nephew could recognize each other. "
[In view of the general environment,
Lady?
uncle?
Li Maozhen was stunned, and finally saw the child being held in Ji Ruxue's arms.
"..."
He turned his neck stiffly and stared at the empress with cold brows.
