When Li Fan returned home, he was inevitably asked about the emperor's summons. Li Fan did not confide much to Xiao Qingyue, but he told Li Xin everything.
After hearing this, Li Xin was silent for a while and asked, "How do you plan to deal with it?"
"I don't know either. Let's see what their character is like first."
"What do you think if I say that if you want your subject to die, I will have to die, even if you don't care about your own life or death?"
Li Fan glanced at Li Xin in surprise. In his impression, although his father Li Xin was also a feudal noble who actively moved closer to imperial power and wealth, he did not appear to be so pedantic and foolishly loyal.
Sure enough, Li Xin quickly solved the puzzle on his own.
"Actually, even if the real king wants me to die and I have to die, there are still many ways to avoid death. At least, you can say you are going to die but don't actually go, right?
When you don't have the ability to resist, you won't even have the time to think about this. You might as well find a way to escape.
But for people like us, this kind of thing is not that serious. It is nothing more than making His Majesty unhappy and adding a bit of resentment.
As long as your methods are sophisticated enough and your strength is strong enough, it will be nothing. "
These are the so-called duplicity, deception and concealment...
After listening to Li Xin's words, Li Ao suddenly felt a sense of enlightenment.
The Ninth Five Supremes seem to be superior and unable to compete, but in fact there are many constraints both inside and outside the court.
It is also impossible for him to offend the powerful and civil and military officials for no reason.
Especially after getting old and weak, the authority is weakened, and the prince in his prime is still eyeing him, and the ministers are not trying their best.
Viewed in this way from the perspective of the game between king and minister, the situation immediately improved.
However, Li Fan knew that the state of Emperor Daodelong was extremely strange, and that he himself might be a superpower who had been hiding behind the scenes, and he would never treat him as an ordinary old emperor in history.
When the emperor was old and faint, even those as powerful as Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty would make people play around. Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, Taizu of the Song Dynasty and others were all miserable and lost their majesty. But that was mostly after they were not clear-headed or had problems with their body functions. , it became like this because of people's plans.
Moreover, Li Fan also knew that Emperor Delong held a magic pen that could divine ghosts and gods and make predictions about everything, and it could never be easily manipulated.
This matter is far from being as simple to deal with as it seems on the surface.
…
Time passed quickly and another half a month passed. In late December, Li Fan went to Zhenmo Si Beiya again, preparing to sort out today's affairs as usual. However, the chief clerk of Disha Hall sent him a secret order and a letter informing the Secretary. The Ministry assigned him a top-secret mission that he needed to complete.
Li Fan was startled for a moment, then realized what he was doing, and without saying anything else, he took the task and left.
Sure enough, after taking it apart and reading it in an empty room, it was discovered that it was the identity information and related information of the Tiqi that Wang Zhong had brought back from Taoshan Town.
Li Chuan read it silently and jotted it down roughly, then put the secret letter in his arms and rushed to Kaiyuanmen.
At this moment, outside the far gate, next to the official road.
Ten people and ten horses stood tall and graceful. The horses had clean saddles and bright armor, and the personnel's clothes were as good as new. ….
Although these people are members of the factory guards, due to their repeated selection of the best and selection of the best, they are already the most elite among the lower-level soldiers. I don't have much skill, and I'm afraid I won't even have a chance to be admitted to the school, let alone join.
After following the chief eunuch Wang Zhong through life and death, as an ordinary person who has never controlled the power of strangeness, he also has some experience in fighting evil spirits and strangers.
If the evil demon is just invulnerable and powerful, then it is possible to defeat it with ordinary soldiers.
The Daqian Dynasty had already begun to have muskets and cannons, and even cannons.
Various iron chains, trip wires, crossbows, and kerosene.
And make full use of the favorable time and place for water-flooded soil burial...
hand
There are simply too many paragraphs.
Among the strangers, there are many who are weak and weak in flesh and blood, and must be restricted by the turbid body of a mortal body.
Unless one can cultivate an extraordinary body or use other means such as a mysterious realm, he or she may be killed by ordinary swords and cold arrows.
Even if he cannot be killed, it is common for him to be seriously injured and captured.
Not all Daqian Demon Suppressors who are involved in this field are masters of aliens. It can even be said that aliens are always only a minority among them. More often, it is the hard work of these seemingly insignificant ordinary people who work in front of and behind the horse.
It is nothing new for these Tiqi to get ready like this and prepare to rush to the next location to perform top-secret missions.
The Kaiyuan Gate here is close to Beiya, and there are fewer business trips, which is also suitable for them to go in and out on business.
However, while they were waiting, they were still a little confused by the secret order they had just received in the morning.
"Deputy Fu Qi, aren't we affiliated with Dongchang? Why didn't the palace send another father-in-law this time, but instead sent people from the Demon Suppression Company?"
"I know this matter is not earlier than you, and I am just wondering."
The middle-aged man called Vice Fu Qi had no clue.
"Forget it, no matter where you are, it's good to be able to come back with a small life. In the past, Wang Gonggong, a powerful stranger, still fell into the devil and died of exhaustion. I just hope that this mission will not be like the last time. So dangerous..."
Talking about the last trip to Taoshan Town, everyone looked a little unnatural on their faces.
Everything they encountered there was like a nightmare to them.
But when you wake up from the nightmare, everything will return to reality.
What they faced was the death of all their colleagues and the sudden death of their boss. After their entire group took a vacation for less than half a month, they were immediately assigned to another mission and embarked on the mission.
If he hadn't experienced hundreds of battles, he might not have been able to withstand such a torment.
Suddenly, everyone in the conversation stopped.
Away from the gate, a horse came galloping towards them. The horse was dressed in bright clothes, angry, and full of energy. It was Li Chuan who had been ordered to come and deal with them.
"Are you the remnants of the Flying Fire and Liuyun banners under the command of the eunuch Wang Zhong of the East Jishi Factory?"
"Sir, we are exactly the same. I wonder if you...are you Mr. Li?"
Deputy Fu Qi actually recognized Li Wei.
Li Fan raised his eyebrows slightly, vaguely remembering that there were indeed such people when they raided the Huang family together.
"The emperor's old dog is nothing. It's clear that the Daqian is on the rise, and all kinds of strange and dangerous events are happening frequently. Every place is in danger, but if you don't make good use of the power at hand to suppress the demon seal, you are called ***!"
Seeing this situation, Li Fan could only spit in secret and cursed in his heart.
96.
Don’t ask the common people, ask ghosts and gods
