The two soldiers from the Zhenfu Division left while chatting in low voices.
"Dalang, are we leaving like this? No more questions?"
"What are you asking about? That's Mr. Li Xiaolang, the top scholar in the academy, and he might even be the consort in the future."
"But he was the one who found evidence of the crime and indirectly forced Prince Chang Xiang to death..."
"Shh, keep your voice down, are you risking your life? The saints don't have any objections, you little soldier, don't make trouble for yourself. Besides, the higher-ups didn't tell me, the assassin last night resisted a whole set of Moonliu Swords, and he was still unscathed. At least He is a half-step master."
"Half-step martial arts master...could he be hired by Jin Wusuan? It doesn't seem like it. The escort team was intercepted and killed outside Chang'an City before they left the Central Plains. This is obviously a capital crime of contempt for the imperial court. Shopkeeper Jin doesn't It would be stupid."
"I don't know, we are investigating. But I estimate that this case will be unsolved again."
"Huh? What do you say?"
"Hey, you don't know if you don't check, but you'll be shocked if you check. We, the son of a county prince, have done too many things in Luoyang in the past, bullying men, women, and good people. Potential enemies are everywhere. Maybe There was a family that saw no hope of revenge and hired an assassin. So it’s difficult to investigate..."
The sound of conversation faded away,
Li Ang was sitting in the hall of the mansion, drinking porridge calmly.
Judging from the intensity of the spiritual energy fluctuations of the two Zhenfu Division monks who were responsible for escorting Li Shenbin last night, one was at the high level of Listening to the Rain Realm and the other was at the beginning level of the Patrolling Cloud Realm.
It can be regarded as the middle level of Zhenfu Division.
The reason why he was able to forcefully kill Li Shenbin was that the defensive ability of Mo Si's clone was astonishing. As long as the spiritual energy continued, the clone would be immortal.
On the other hand, because the opponent did not understand the ability of Mo Si's clone, he sent the flying sword made of special metal directly over, but lost the weapon instead.
If you change the situation, such as an open plain without obstruction,
Allowing the opponent to use sword energy and talismans to consume him remotely, the Mosi clone may not be able to escape completely, at least not as easily as it seems.
'In the final analysis, the total amount of spiritual energy in my body is slightly lower. At this stage, I can only use my fists and feet. '
Li Ang thought with some regret that in the previous test, the Mosi clone was also able to release spiritual energy and release telekinesis, but the killing effect was far inferior to that of close combat.
'However, if the overall mass of the Mosi clone is larger, maybe it is also a way. For example, he transformed into a forty-meter-long sword and stabbed Li Shenbin to death outside the post house. '
Li Ang paused for a moment. He had been busy with work recently, and he hadn't fed Mo Si much. The fine gold, dark iron, etc. accumulated before will soon be exhausted.
I have to find a way to get some back.
Li Ang kept the matter in mind and remotely controlled the Mo Si clone outside Chang'an City to wake up and ordered it to drill in the direction of Chang'an Ghost Market.
He still remembered what happened to Jiao Cheng. When the Sword Immortal Tomb collapsed, everyone except Jiao Cheng was buried underground, and Jiao Cheng's own body was also sunk into the underground river by Li Ang.
The only problem is that there is a silver needle used by Li Ang for suturing on Jiao Cheng's body, which may be a hidden danger that will expose Li Ang's identity.
Now that there is a clone of Mosi that can be controlled from a distance, the hidden danger must be eliminated as soon as possible.
Li Ang controlled the clone, got into the ground, and relied on his memory to explore the underground river.
The collapse of the Sword Immortal Tomb was more serious than I imagined. Not only was the entire tomb buried deep underground, but the underground river also changed its course. It might take some time before the bodies of Jiao Cheng and others could be found.

Time passed day by day, and finally, the day of the academy’s first exam arrived.
As in previous years, the atmosphere in the city was solemn and serious.
Local parents in Chang'an dressed up their children and accompanied them out to Xiashan Academy.
The students from other places boarded their carriages with solemn expressions.
Since this year is Song Shaoyuan's last chance, Yang Yu, Ji Linglang and others came to cheer him on.
Li Ang watched Song Shaoyuan get on the carriage and then followed Li Leling into another carriage, sitting on either side of Chai Chai.
"Are you full after breakfast? Are you still hungry? Do you want some more?"
Li Leling cheered Chai Chai and said, "It's okay, I believe in you, you are the best."
"...Um."
Perhaps due to nervousness, Chai Chai's face turned a little pale, and he subconsciously clenched their hands.
Li Ang didn't know what to say at this time, so he patted the back of Chai Chai's hand and comforted him: "Relax, if you don't pass the exam this year, there will be next year, and if you don't pass next year, there will be the year after.
It doesn't matter if you really can't pass the exam, it's just a matter of getting home and adding a pair of dishes.
If your family can afford to support you, then you should grow old early. "
"Are you as comforting as you?"
After hearing this, Li Leling, who had put the most effort into Chai Chai's studies, patted the back of Li Ang's hand and said to Chai Chai: "Don't listen to your elder brother.
You are born with superior spiritual energy, and I will give you guidance, so you will not fail the exam.
By the way, do you want to read the test paper again? "
"Um."
Chai Chai nodded, took the question paper from Li Leling, and memorized it silently.
Li Ang also reminded him at the right time: "Remember your name by the way, that is a must."
"you,"
Li Leling rolled her eyes and said, "Don't make trouble."
"Let's ease the tension."
Li Ang smiled.
This conversation continued all the way. As the carriage drove into Xiashan Mountain and the candidates entered, Li Ang and Li Leling also came to the Xuanxie Langfang downstream of the stream and waited.
It's quite emotional to think about it carefully. Last year, Chai Chai was here waiting for him to finish the exam. This year, it was his turn to wait for Chai Chai to finish the exam.
After a long time, the pavilion door of the scripture examination room was opened, and the candidates who had finished answering the questions ran out like last year and rushed to the racecourse.
Chai Chai's answer speed was neither fast nor slow, and her scores in subjects such as imperial examination and archery seemed to be average from a distance - considering that she had never ridden a war horse or shot a bow and arrow before,
I just had emergency training in three months, and it's already very good to be able to reach an intermediate level.
The rest of the subjects, including math, painting, music, and Chai Chai were all average, but herbal medicine was much better than the other candidates because of getting along with Li Ang day and night. It should add some points.
After the normal exam, the three of them took the carriage back to Jinchengfang, where they had dinner and sat around the table, waiting for the results to be released late at night.
And Chai Chai's final score was...more than 4,800, which was worthy of the top spot.
"Great! I knew you could do it!"
When Li Leling heard the news reported by the messenger, she took Chai Chai's hand and stood up excitedly.
"It's all teachers who teach well."
Chai Chai's tail was about to rise to the sky, and he was also overjoyed, "Four thousand eight hundred, hehe, if you round up, the gap between me and Dalang is not very big."
"Ah, yes, yes."
Seeing that the two of them were so happy, Li Ang also smiled and nodded, and went to the kitchen to make a late-night snack to celebrate.
Li Ang used his mind to control the kitchen utensils, wash and chop vegetables, and light a fire to cook.
While remotely controlling Mo Si's clone in the underground river of Chang'an Ghost City, he continued to explore.
finally,
He narrowed his eyes and found the tomb of the Sword Immortal.
