After leaving, Li Fan was still a little worried that the prince would betray his promise, but he did not expect that in just a few days, someone would be sent to say that everything was ready.
"There is an expert behind this prince. It seems he really wants to clear up the misunderstanding with us and prevent the black hands hiding behind from benefiting?"
"It's also possible that he is playing hard to get, and by obediently accepting the punishment, he will eliminate his own suspicion, so that he can put the blame on the devil's leader."
In the Hou Mansion, Li Fan and his son had a serious discussion.
The so-called grudges are not that simple.
At first glance, it seems that you know who the enemy is, break in, and kill them quickly, and that's it.
But the reality is that the situation is so complicated that you simply don’t know who the real enemy is.
He didn't even investigate the person behind the scenes, so he acted recklessly, which would inevitably be used as a weapon by others.
Sometimes, even if you know clearly who the enemy is, you should not act rashly, lest you end up fighting with the snipe and the clam, and the other person will get the advantage.
Li Ao still hasn't dared to be 100% sure whether this sneak attack was carried out by the prince. In the end, he can only remain suspicious and collect some compensation first.
It would be great if I could borrow Emperor Delong's Fuqi magic pen again.
It's a pity that even the Fuqi magic pen is not trustworthy.
It is useless to dwell on such unreliable things, so Li Fan didn't think much about it, and was invited to go to the Prince's Mansion to collect his benefits.
This time, he did not see the ambushing swordsman again. It was obvious that he had removed this low-level defensive method after the initial contact.
When the prince saw Li Fan, he even smiled and said grandly: "The Marquis of Wu'an is loyal and patriotic. If I ascend the throne in the future, I will definitely use him more!"
Then he praised: "Li Consort Li is young and promising. He also married my younger sister, Princess Zhuang Ning. He is the pillar of the Prince Consort's Party. I have good relations with Princess Zhu Ning, Princess Lingning and other sisters' consorts. Why not choose a day to introduce you to each other..."
Li Ao felt funny secretly.
The princesses he mentioned were all in their thirties or forties, and the Prince Consort was more than a round older than himself.
It's no wonder that for the forty-year-old prince, the subordinates and party members around him are almost gone by a generation, and there is indeed a slight generation gap.
hehe.
Just keep cooking it slowly.
It is said that evil spirits are the incarnation of weirdness, and weirdness is also folk custom and rule.
So as an emperor who was "in the prime of his life", it was almost inevitable that he would dislike the prince.
Li Fan really didn't think much of the prince, but since he greeted him with a smile, he wouldn't deliberately offend him. All he wanted in his mind was to take his compensation and run away.
Finally, the prince's staff took everyone out of the secret vault and displayed them in front of him along with the account books recording the properties of these secret treasures.
"Li Consort, I have given you all this little wealth I have, but this time it is true that I have been lax in my command. I hope these rare treasures can make up for the loss of your noble family..."
The prince was tolerant enough, he said all his nice things and even smiled.
"Easy to say..."
Li Fan dealt with him while quietly observing.
Among the rare treasures given to Zhuyingtang, it was inevitable that they were shoddy, and there were actually two or three suspected derivatives among them, which possessed extremely weak uncanny power.
However, this may also be due to incomplete testing and unintentional mixing of some derivatives.
The relationship between them and the exotic treasures is very close. The difference is whether they have truly taken root and resided inside.
But under certain conditions, the derivatives themselves are more valuable than some exotic treasures.
For example, Ashoka stone, sulfur powder, etc.
After a brief look, Li Fan asked Xue An and Han Zhi who had followed them to put them away. Naturally, he didn't need to worry about the following trivial matters such as reconciliation and warehousing.
He paid more attention to the treasures given by the prince, which were personal compensation for himself.
"These rare treasures are definitely the treasures of my palace. If it weren't for the purpose of showing sincerity and eliminating misunderstandings, I would really be reluctant to take them out..."
"Indeed, rare treasures of this level are not that easy to find. Each one requires a lot of hard work to obtain."
Mr. Wu, the prince's schemer, assisted: "The first piece is a psychic jade. It was originally an ancestral treasure of a wealthy family in the southeast. It was inadvertently contaminated by strange power, opened the spiritual orifice, and was able to travel within the jade. Appear as a spirit body, respond to people, and respond smoothly.
We suspect that this kind of thing breaks the iron law that evil spirits have no intelligence, and ranks it as a top-grade, or even a complete demon above the top-grade! "
Just listen to this.
Who is Li Fan?
Li Fan is a person from later generations.
This kind of psychic response to the demon should be similar to the conversation with artificial intelligence. It is nothing more than some fragments of soul and consciousness forming a special model in the jade, and some abilities similar to wisdom emerge.
If you really want to talk about breaking the iron law that evil spirits have no wisdom, you have to look at the one in Yuxi Palace...
Oh, because the palace was damaged, they have moved to Hanyuan Hall.
Speaking of which, great-grandfather Li Jian's body is not simple. The "evil (Li Jian)" that no one else saw except himself is really a bit of a problem.
Li Chuan took back his divergent thoughts and used his own discerning eye to identify the truth. It was as expected.
"Exotic treasure (psychic gem)"
"Psychic things containing false intelligence, fragments of soul and consciousness forming false spiritual bodies that can answer all questions."
"This thing behaves like a human being, and even tries to pretend to be a real human being, but in fact, it is easy to talk nonsense at key points and randomly piece together some answers to instill into the inquirer."
"If a gem tries to become a real human being, if you talk to it, it will absorb the power of consciousness. This power is deep in the mind, and even the owner himself is difficult to detect."
Can you actually draw on the power of your subconscious?
Li Fan looked at it and couldn't help but secretly be wary.
In this way, even reading the memory can be done!
He forced himself not to show too much surprise, so he just responded indifferently and looked at the next object.
"A sure-hit arrow... This is an arrow that is sure to hit the target after being shot, and it contains a part of the blood of a powerful evil demon. It is a surefire way to deal with ordinary evil demons!"
Li Fan took a look and found that the other party was not lying.
This is an arrow with a sure-hit attribute, and the blood stains on it are somewhat familiar.
That was Grandpa Li Jian's giant precious blood, which seemed to be highly concentrated blood essence that had been refined and purified.
It has corroded the arrowhead, giving it a distinctive patina of rust.
But don't look at this thing as it seems rotten and broken. It may rot at any time. It is indeed extremely lethal when used to deal with strangers and evil spirits.
Li Ao was secretly wary and continued to read.
There are ever-lasting lamps that can burn enemies with white phosphorus fire, beautiful painted skins that can disguise themselves as evil spirits, and even blood lanterns that can create a mysterious realm with light...
The few treasures transferred from the treasury are truly extraordinary.
Li Fan hesitated between the blood lantern and the psychic jade, but did not regret the condition of "can only choose one".
After all, if it weren't for such restrictions, it would be impossible for the prince to agree to take out his treasured things and display them in front of outsiders.
This not only gave Li Fan the opportunity to choose an item he urgently needed, but also gave Li Fan a little idea of the trump card he held.
Even if you show kindness, it is only a deterrent...
"That's all, I'll choose the psychic gem! After all, wisdom is the greatest mystery. Being able to show wisdom or something close to wisdom shows that it does have considerable advantages."
Li Ao pretended not to know its negative effects, and after pondering for a long time, he said to the prince.
The prince and Mr. Wu looked at each other, neither happy nor sad.
"As soon as I said it..."
"It's hard to chase a horse!"
