At that time.
In the Jiangnan Province morgue, a body that was supposed to be dead actually moved.
Then, the white cloth was lifted by itself, and a corpse sat up.
He murmured to himself, "Little emperor, you are cruel enough. If you don't avenge me, I will never be a human being!"
"Ah, it hurts me so much..."
now.
In the palace.
The lights are brightly lit, and occasionally a master of internal machine surveillance will pass by. Generally speaking, it is silent.
But in each palace, countless dragoons wearing armor and holding spears and swords were waiting.
The internal machine monitoring experts were separated on the left and right, hiding in the darkness.
This all came from the impudent speech made by the little ghost before his death. Only then did Li Yi know that all five ghosts had arrived in Jiangnan Province and were coming to assassinate the palace tonight.
Naturally, Li Yi kept doing nothing, setting up an ambush and waiting for them to fall into his trap.
The whereabouts of the five ghosts are mysterious and their martial arts are very strong. If they are hidden among the people, it would be extremely difficult to distinguish them. However, it would be much easier to lure the snake out of its hole. This greatly reduces the difficulty.
Moreover, since it is an assassination, the Five Ghosts cannot bring many people with them, most likely only four people.
Another one became a corpse and could not come.
However, these five ghosts, a gangland organization and a few rubbish, can actually allow an emperor to personally ambush and kill them. These five ghosts can be regarded as the number one gangland organization in history.
According to the investigation by internal surveillance experts, before the curfew, many new faces appeared around the palace, and it was suspected that dead members of the Zheng family were responsible.
They are all here to detect information, but their response speed is also extremely fast.
"Report!"
An internal machine monitoring expert quickly ran to Cao Qingyan and whispered a few words.
Cao Qingyan's expression suddenly changed drastically, and he hurriedly whispered: "Your Majesty, something bad happened. The body is missing."
"What corpse?" Li Yi didn't know why.
"The kid is one of the five ghosts killed today." Cao Qingyan said in fear.
Everyone was horrified when they heard this. How could this body be lost? Could it be possible that he ran away on his own?
"Your Majesty, could it be that the deceased members of the Zheng family discovered it, or the other four ghosts of the Five Ghosts?"
Cao Qingyan worriedly said: "If this is really the case, then tonight's trap plan is probably going to be..."
Li Yimi frowned, "Unexpectedly, I still missed the move and let the five ghosts notice it."
"Everything depends on people, and the success depends on heaven. Maybe I won't have the opportunity to kill the five ghosts, that's all."
"Bang bang bang!"
Everyone present knelt down.
"Your Majesty, I am guilty of not cleaning up the kid's body in time. Please punish me!"
Li Yi smiled calmly and said, "I have already said that everything depends on man and God. Get up!"
"It's just a Five Ghost. He can't escape. These people will definitely show up again."
Cao Qingyan suggested: "Your Majesty, now let's allocate some troops to protect officials at all levels. Once the five ghosts come to attack the palace, I'm afraid..."
Hearing this, everyone nodded in unison, all worried.
At this moment, the internal machine monitoring expert suddenly came to report, "Report, someone shot an arrow at the door just now, and the arrow had a cloth strip on it."
Li Yi frowned, "A strip of cloth?"
"boom!"
He suddenly became furious and cursed: "Zheng Xiangmo, you are too crazy, are you challenging me?"
Cao Qingyan took the piece of cloth and took a look at it, his face changed drastically in an instant, and he walked quickly to Li Yi, "Your Majesty, please don't get angry. What is this?"
"Isn't it Zheng Xiangmo's challenge letter?" After Li Yi took it, he only glanced at it and stood up suddenly.
The first thing he said was, "Where are the people?"
The internal machine surveillance master replied: "The man ran away. The opponent's Qinggong was too powerful. We couldn't pursue him. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."
Li Yi waved his hand and sat down in despair. He might not know other people's handwriting, but he was too familiar with this handwriting.
He opened the cloth and read it carefully. It read: "Five ghosts want to enter the palace to assassinate you tonight, so don't be careful."
"The kid is not dead, he is still alive, but he has escaped and his trace is missing."
The last sentence is, "The Zheng family has a rich heritage and is not easy to mess with. Peace is the most important thing and the best strategy is to work on it slowly."
Li Yi closed the cloth, and the woman's voice and smile suddenly appeared in front of him. He knew that she was not dead. Since he knew that I was in Jiangnan Province, why didn't he come to see me?
His face became extremely solemn.
He is by no means a headstrong person, especially since this was given to him by the woman, it must be a reminder to him.
At this moment, Ye Qingluan also arrived, wearing a close-fitting military uniform with a long sword, perfectly showing off his curvy figure, especially the heroic spirit that came with him, which made people look at him.
"Your Majesty, what's wrong?"
Cao Qingyan hurriedly handed the cloth over, "Mother, I just received it."
Unexpectedly, Ye Qingluan frowned slightly when he saw the cloth strip, "This cloth strip?"
"What?" Li Yi was curious when he saw her reaction.
Ye Qingluan casually took out a piece of cloth from his sleeve and handed it over, "Your Majesty, when I rescued Your Majesty before, I also received a piece of cloth. Thanks to this piece of cloth, I was able to find the location of the female insect. Coffin shop."
Comparing the two pieces of cloth, the handwriting was exactly the same.
"Did you see who it was?" Li Yi asked.
Ye Qingluan rolled his eyes at him, "A heroine."
Hearing this, Li Yi couldn't help but curl his thin lips, "It is indeed her."
Li Yi wanted to say something else, but suddenly the Taoist Taoist Master rushed in with a cane in his hand, like a tornado, shouting: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty!!"
"Being chased by wolves?" Li Yi frowned.
"I...I saw it, I saw it!" Taoist Taoist Master was out of breath.
"What did you see?" Li Yi asked.
"Ni...Ni Yao'er!"
"I saw Ni Yao'er." The broken Taoist wheezed like a broken wooden box.
Li Yi was not overly surprised, he had already guessed, "Lead the way, do I want to see her?"
"Your Majesty, the person is missing." Taoist Taoist Master said.
Li Yi's face turned dark instantly, and he said coldly, "You..."
"Where have people gone!"
The broken Taoist was also helpless, "I don't know."
Li Yi suppressed his anger, "Have you ever seen her go in that direction?"
"I don't know!" Taoist Taoist Broken Shake his head repeatedly, with a helpless expression on his face: "I just bumped into him at the entrance of the palace. When I heard the master of the internal machine supervisor shouting, I looked up and saw a figure flying away. past."
"Your Majesty, I can't help it. This woman Ni Yao'er is definitely not an ordinary person. She definitely has a huge secret."
Li Yi frowned, what a big secret, since you are here, why don't you come to see me?
Is it possible that you are still resenting me?
But no matter what it is, it should be explained clearly in person, right?
He asked himself that he had not done anything wrong to her. Even if there was no friendship, at least he was still a friend.
Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind, his face became grim, and he opened his mouth to ask: "That day when you and I were surrounding and killing the dead soldiers of the Zheng family in Yingzui Stream, why did the river suddenly rise?"
Cao Qingyan and Suo Yi were both at the scene and witnessed all this with their own eyes.
"Your Majesty, I don't know, but the river suddenly rose."
"Yes, we didn't notice it beforehand. By the time we found out, it was already too late."
"However, thanks to the river, otherwise we wouldn't have known what would have happened that day. All the Zheng family retainers were brave and fearless of death. Now that I think about it, I feel really scared!"
Li Yi raised his hand to stop him and said, "I know why the river has risen."
"Why?" Everyone asked curiously.
"Ni Yao'er." Li Yi held two pieces of cloth and smiled softly, "There is no doubt that she must be helping me, including these two times, it was also her actions, but I don't know why she refused Come to see me, do you still hold grudges?"
I remember, before he was in the capital, he teased Ni Yaoer a lot.
But aren’t they all just a joke?
She wouldn't take it seriously, would she?
"Alas!" Li Yi sighed softly, and suddenly turned around and saw Ye Qingluan standing by. He coughed quickly and explained: "Qingluan, Ni Yao'er is my friend, just a good friend in the world, not..."
Ye Qingluan's expression suddenly changed, he took a step back and bowed, "Your Majesty, what do you mean by this? As the master of the harem, I hope that your Majesty can spread the branches and raise the royal heirs. If you are admitted to Dali Temple Knowing that I am so jealous, I am afraid I will be held accountable."
Li Yi slapped his head and forgot that he was still an emperor in ancient times.
Being an emperor means being a stallion, right?
In this case, he simply stopped pretending, nodded and said: "I have got this wife, what else do I want from you?"
Hearing this, Ye Qingluan calmed down and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
At this time, Li Yi's tone suddenly became solemn and he said in a deep voice: "Everyone!"
"I'm waiting here!" everyone said in unison.
"The five ghosts will come tonight. You all are waiting with me. No way out. Kill the five ghosts. Don't let these thieves leave alive!"
"promise!"
…
There was no moonlight or starlight, a huge black curtain covered the sky and the earth, and even the air was filled with a depressing smell.
The palace of Emperor Gale.
The lights are like daylight.
Several black shadows suddenly rushed in from outside, very fast, and disappeared into the darkness in the blink of an eye.
In the palace, the few guards were like deaf and blind people, unable to see or hear.
