A piece of news that shocked the world quickly spread throughout the world.
Emperor Li Xingyun of the Tang Dynasty opened the Longquan treasure, obtained countless gold, silver and jewels, and regained the jade seal passed down from the country.
This news soon spread throughout the world, including other princely states.
At this moment, the entire world is discussing the Longquan Treasure. After all, it is a rumor that has been circulating in the world for decades. Before this, many people in the world were speculating whether the Longquan Treasure was true or not, and whether it existed. But here After that, the matter was finally concluded.
…
Bianzhou.
Inside the original Daliang Palace.
Jiaolan Hall.
The walls of the palace are inlaid with precious marble, fine wood and other materials, shining with gold and gem colors. Every brick and tile has been carefully carved. The roof of the palace is covered with golden glazed tiles. Silk ribbons and brocades are hung on the eaves, fluttering in the wind. The interior of the palace is luxuriously decorated and magnificent.
Jiao Lan Palace is more gorgeous than her...her brother's Prince Qi Palace.
But for some unknown reason, the empress could not feel the splendor among the jewels. She could only feel waves of coldness. Faintly, there seemed to be a ghost crying, its voice was extremely plaintive, like a hidden dragon dancing in a secluded ravine, or a concubine weeping in a lonely boat. .
But in the way of the empress, this voice does not exist, it is just an illusion of hers.
At this moment, the empress was dressed in Qi Wang attire and wearing a Zixiao sword on her waist, listening to Xuan Jingtian and Miao Chengtian reporting on various military situations and news.
The fake Zhu Youwen led a large number of soldiers southward under the arrangement of Meng Po. However, after receiving the news that Bianzhou was captured, Liang's soldiers began to disperse and flee on a large scale because their family members were still in Bianzhou. Historically, Lu Meng When Bai Yi crossed the river, he also relied on this move to make most of Guan Yu's soldiers escape, so much so that Guan Yunchang was forced into a desperate situation.
Guarding Bianzhou and constantly receiving surrendered soldiers from all over the country was already a fruitful harvest for the empress.
"The bad guys are really powerful." After listening to the report of the two women, the empress opened her red lips slightly, sighed, and said with emotion.
Bianzhou was defeated, and it was easy for them to take over several states around Bianzhou.
This time, the empress didn't do anything at all. She just accepted the results of the bad guys' battle for Li Xingyun under the bad guys' designs.
The empress turned around, looked behind her at the square dragon chair in the Jiao Lan Palace, and let out a long sigh.
Since she took over the Qi Kingdom from her brother sixteen years ago, it has been a long time since she fought such an easy battle.
"Qi...Prince Qi." Miao Chengtian looked at the empress in front of him, looked left and right, and then said.
"What else is there?" The empress looked at Miao Chengtian in front of her and asked.
"There are rumors that the emperor opened the Longquan treasure and obtained countless gold and silver." Miao Chengtian looked at the empress in front of him and said tentatively.
They all know the secrets between the Empress and Li Xingyun that cannot and must not be told, but they must report it.
"Alas." Hearing this, the empress sighed again.
When she thought of the word Longquan, the first thing that came to her mind was not the gold and silver jewelry, but his brother, the real Li Maozhen.
'Brother, are you okay now? 'The empress thought in her heart.
'Would you blame me? Or... are you happy to be the only one in this world in another form? 'Soon, the empress began to think wildly again.
But...it has been sixteen years since I left my hometown, just for the so-called Longquan treasure. Is it really worth it?
Thinking of this, the empress shook her head.
However, she still felt that she had to take some time to send someone to find her brother. There was no need to go to Twelve Cave. The Longquan treasure had been opened and was of no use. She should come back and find a place to retire.
…
Jin State.
Shifu.
In a bedroom, Shi Jingtang was sitting calmly in front of a plan, reading.
He studies not because he is elegant, but mainly because he really has nothing to do every day and is just free.
Shi Jingtang's current status in the Jin Kingdom is very strange.
It stands to reason that his father-in-law Li Siyuan had the merit of supporting and following the dragon. Now he is ranked lower than several people in the entire Tang Dynasty and above tens of millions of people. The emperor's favor towards him is so great that no one in the entire Tang Dynasty can surpass him. It can be said that it is at its peak.
As the saying goes, 'When one person attains enlightenment, chickens and dogs ascend to heaven. 'But the people around Li Siyuan have yet to see any promotions, and Li Siyuan's own resources, connections, and almost everything are tilted towards Zhang Zifan, his adopted son.
Now everyone in the Jin Kingdom can see that Zhang Zifan is Li Siyuan's successor.
Shi Jingtang, the son-in-law, did not get any errands. In fact, not to mention Shi Jingtang, the son-in-law, even Li Siyuan's biological son did not receive any titles.
In the last life, Shi Jingtang noticed the turmoil in the central government and took the initiative to serve as an official. Firstly, he accumulated strength in the local area in the hope that the central government would change. He pointed his sword at the central government from the local area. Secondly, he had always been on good terms with Mobei, so he chose a Being close to Mobei makes communication between the two parties more convenient.
But in this life, although Li Xingyun came to power by assassinating Li Keyong, there was no mass slaughter even for Li Keyong's remnants. Li Cunxiao and Li Cunren were only imprisoned and not killed.
Shi Jingtang, who was aware of the increasing fortune of the Tang Dynasty, also thought about asking his good father-in-law to say a few kind words in front of the emperor to help him rise.
But 'Li Siyuan' didn't agree and didn't even see him very often.
Sanqianyuan: What a joke, where is Li Siyuan?
After all, Sanqianyuan is pretending to be Li Siyuan, not the real Li Siyuan. Although he has learned a lot like it with the help of Zhang Zifan, he is not Li Siyuan after all. If someone sees the clues, problems will inevitably arise. If it causes turmoil, he This Tianzangxing will never be forgiven.
Therefore, Sanqianyuan usually stood in Li Siyuan's face, either pretending to be cold or telling riddles. Fortunately, there were a lot of riddlers in Tongwen Hall, so he just dealt with it.
But for Li Siyuan's family members, those closest to him and most likely to see the flaws, Sanqianyuan kept a distance.
Later, Shi Jingtang found Zhang Zifan again and wanted to ask Zhang Zifan to help him operate it for the sake of being from the same school. If the officials in the capital couldn't do it, then he would let it go outside.
Zhang Zifan didn't agree either.
Zhang Zifan had a certain understanding of Shi Jingtang. In fact, Zhang Zifan didn't see anything wrong. On the contrary, Zhang Zifan felt that Shi Jingtang himself was quite capable.
But although Shi Jingtang's ability was affirmed,...he was a little weak and his stance was not firm. These problems were also noticed by Zhang Zifan.
Loyalty is not absolute, that is absolute disloyalty.
What's more, Shi Jingtang has contacts with many people in Mobei, and Yelv Zhiwu from Mobei once assassinated Li Xingyun. How could Zhang Zifan promote Shi Jingtang?
In this way, Shi Jingtang became numb. In the eyes of outsiders, he was Li Siyuan's son-in-law and a contemporary of Zhang Zifan. Li Siyuan and Zhang Zifan were now "powerful" in the Tang Dynasty and were deeply favored by the emperor. He, Li Siyuan's son-in-law Sooner or later, as the tide rises, all boats lift, but he himself is trapped in the stone mansion every day, unable to go up or down.
"Sir." Outside the door, a soldier walked into the room, looked at Shi Jingtang, and respectfully asked for instructions.
"What's the matter?" Shi Jingtang looked at the soldier and asked.
"Sir, someone is coming from Mobei." The soldier looked at Shi Jingtang in the room and reported.
"Mobei?" Shi Jingtang heard that there was civil strife in Mobei, with countless casualties and that the King of Mobei was nowhere to be found. I wonder why the people of Mobei came to him, an idler, at this time?
"Please come in." After thinking about it, Shi Jingtang decided to meet the person, so he looked at the soldier and asked.
"Yes, sir." The man responded respectfully and asked.
Not long after, the soldier led a slender figure covered in black robes to Shi Jingtang's house. Then, he bowed respectfully to Shi Jingtang, then retreated consciously, and then respectfully led the room. Close the door.
The man in black robe opened his black robe, and it was Shi Qixiang.
"Shi Qi Xiang has met Mr. Shi." Shi Qi Xiang looked at Shi Jingtang sitting in the room and bowed respectfully.
The civil strife in Mobei greatly reduced the country's power, while the Tang Dynasty's national power was becoming increasingly prosperous. Facing Shi Jingtang, the son-in-law of an important official of the Tang Dynasty, even if he had no official position, he must not be rude.
Besides, she came here to ask Shi Jingtang for help today, and the queen specifically told her to act carefully and show absolute respect to Shi Jingtang.
"The girl is too polite. Shi and Mobei are good friends forever. If the girl is like this, isn't it hurting Shi?"
Besides, I'm not much of an adult. "Shi Jingtang saluted after seeing the world, changed into a smile that made people feel full of spring breeze, looked at the Mobei people in front of him, stood up and said.
"Master Shi is too humble. Master Shi is the son-in-law of the King of Jin and a contemporary of Zhang Zifan, the favored minister of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. Even if you have no official position, who in the world dares to look down on you?" Shi Qixiang endured her nausea and said Looking at Shi Jingtang in front of him, he said flatteringly.
She has the mission of being a queen, she must endure it!
For the queen!
"This girl is overrated. Shi is just an idler.
However, if Mobei needs anything, Shi is willing to do his best to help the girl as long as it is within Shi's ability. "Shi Jingtang looked at the Shiqi Xiang in front of him and said.
"In this case, the matter is urgent, so I will speak frankly. My Ao Gu from Mobei disappeared mysteriously in Jindi for some unknown reason. Now something is happening at home. Can you ask Mr. Shi to help find her?" Shi Qixiang looked at the person in front of her. Shi Jingtang said respectfully.
She avoided their deal with Li Keyong. Li Keyong was dead anyway, and now that Yelu Lage was fighting too fiercely on the front line, they urgently needed Ao Gu to return for support.
Of course, they don't know that all this is useless in front of Yuan Tiangang.
"The Aogu you are talking about refers to the girl Yelu Zhiwu. She committed some crimes and was imprisoned in Taiyuan Prison." Shi Jingtang looked at the Shiqi Xiang in front of him and said calmly.
"That must be a misunderstanding. I have brought countless gold and various valuable supplements. I wonder if you can ask Master Shi to help sort it out, resolve the misunderstanding between Mobei and Datang, and release Aogu?" Shi Qixiang looked at Shi Jingtang in front of her and said all the good things.
"It's difficult, it's difficult, it's difficult." Shi Jingtang said three words "difficult" in a row, and then he continued: "Young lady, you don't know something. Your Auntie has collided with the emperor. The misunderstanding of mortals is easy to understand, but the misunderstanding of the emperor is easy to understand." Can it still be solved easily?"
"Then, if we rescue each other..." Shi Qixiang is from Mobei after all, and her belly is not as full of twists and turns as people from the Central Plains. She went straight to the point where Shi Jingtang didn't know how to answer.
"Girl, that's even harder.
The Taiyuan prison is heavily guarded. The person responsible for the defense of Taiyuan is Zhang Zifan, the sage of Tongwen Hall. He is both civilized and military, extremely intelligent, and loyal to the emperor. The girl's thoughts...are as difficult as reaching heaven. "Shi Jingtang looked at Shi Qixiang in front of him and said calmly.
How tightly guarded is Taiyuan Prison? In the previous life, Li Xingyun was imprisoned and died once before being released.
Although it was Li Xingyun's plan in his previous life that it fell into the hands of Li Siyuan, it is true that it was heavily guarded.
"I wonder, could you please Master Shi to take me to visit Aogu? For the sake of your friendship with the Mobei people, please." Shi Qixiang looked at Shi Jingtang in front of him, knelt down on one knee and said.
The two parties have close contacts, and since I couldn't meet the first two excessive demands I made, there should be a chance for this last one.
The purpose of coming was abandoned, and I took advantage of this time to send a message to the queen and make plans.
Shi Jingtang was stunned when he heard this.
This request is indeed within his ability. Sanqianyuan can meet Li Xingyun more than once as Baal, let alone Shi Jingtang?
And it would really be inappropriate for him to refuse again.
…
Taiyuan.
Inside Taiyuan Prison.
Shi Jingtang led a "guard" wearing black armor and a long sword on his waist and slowly walked into the prison.
After many twists and turns, the two finally arrived at Yelu Zhiwu's location.
Yelu Zhiwu and Dahe Feng were imprisoned.
Shi Qixiang hid under a black armor and saw that Dahefeng over there had been trapped in a trap and was playing with lice in the dirty cell.
This scene made all the people in the world dumbfounded.
Yelv Zhiwu is much cleaner here, but her whole body, from her slender jade legs to her slender waist, to her slender jade arms, her slender goose neck is covered with cold chains, which looks like There is a bit more of a taboo flavor, which makes Shi Qixiang feel very distressed when watching this scene.
Yelv Zhiwu noticed the arrival of Shi Jingtang and Shi Qixiang, and raised his head in confusion.
'It's not time for dinner...'
However, Shi Jingtang looked at Yelv Zhiwu in front of him, bowed his hands, and clasped his fists at the guard who was approving the black armor next to him, then turned and left.
Yelu Zhiwu:? ? ?
The man in the long gown was obviously a big shot, so how could he salute the guards beside him?
But the guard took off his mask and called softly: "Ao Gu."
"Qixiang!" Yelu Zhiwu said with some surprise when she saw Shiqixiang.
On the other side, Shi Jingtang, who had just reached a suitable position, became numb again.
At this moment, in front of him, Zhang Zifan, who was wearing a white robe, white hair, and a handsome face, led a group of black-armored soldiers and Tongwenguan disciples to block him directly.
"Holy Lord!" Shi Jingtang looked at Zhang Zifan in front of him and saluted quickly.
