In the dark, damp and cold Qianniu Prison, a scarred figure was hung on the wall by chains, and even his toes could not touch the ground.
The white prison uniform was covered with blood stains. His head was bowed and his hair was hanging down, and his face could not be seen clearly.
Only in the dim light could one see that a piece of the corner of his ear was missing, and his arms were missing.
Suddenly, there was a steady sound of footsteps, and several figures appeared at the cell door at the same time.
Under the bright firelight, the slender figure stopped.
Looking up, it was Li Xuan who was wearing a dark red Qianniu uniform.
"Unlock it!" Li Xuan stood in front of the cell door and nodded to the Qianniu jailer beside him, who immediately opened the cell door.
Li Xuan walked into the cell alone, and the Qianniu jailer behind him immediately retreated to both sides.
The cell door was not closed. Li Xuan glanced at the corner of his eyes and looked calm.
If his guess is correct, in another cell next to him, there is a recorder of Qian Niuwei, who will record every word he said.
Turning his gaze, Li Xuan looked at the figure hanging on the wall, and said with a solemn expression: "I'm here, do you have anything to say?"
After hearing Li Xuan's voice, the figure hanging on the wall with disheveled hair and scars finally moved a little.
Then, although it was difficult, I still insisted on raising my head.
In an instant, extremely vicious eyes fell on Li Xuan.
"So you look like this." Li Xuan shook her head, looking at the ordinary face in front of her that was so ordinary that she couldn't even distinguish it among the crowd, she said, "Sure enough, you are of the same lineage as the Thousand-Faced Buddha. They are all so similar to the Thousand-Faced Buddha."
The person in front of him turned out to be the Thousand-Faced Buddha stand-in who was captured by Li Xuan in the Taiwang Palace and sent to the Qianniu Guard.
That day, Li Xuan used extensive bloodletting to save the stand-in of the Thousand-Faced Buddha from the edge of nature.
But just because he was saved, Li Xuan didn't expect him to survive for long. As long as the Qianniu Guards people could ask enough questions from him during this period, it would be enough.
Now it seems that the people of Qianniuwei not only completed their mission, but even exceeded it.
Although the stand-in for the Thousand-Faced Buddha was saved by Li Xuan, Li Zhi directly called him away that day. After that, Li Zhi did not let him interfere at all.
Li Xuan also knew enough to ignore it, and besides, he already knew enough.
However, today, General Zuo Qianniuwei and Prince Li Jingjia of Beiping County called him over again and asked him to meet the stand-in for the Thousand-Faced Buddha.
Facing such a hateful look, Li Xuan said calmly: "I heard that you took the initiative to ask to see me. What do you want to ask? Is there anything else that I have to do later?"
"How... how did you... realize my identity?" The voice of Thousand-Faced Buddha's stand-in was hoarse to the extreme, and he didn't know how much punishment he had received.
"So you want to know this?" Li Xuan suddenly laughed a little uncontrollably, looked around, and said with ulterior motives: "But you don't want to trick me out, and then let your people in Qianniu Guard do it again. Are these words going to spread again?"
After knowing that King Cao Li Ming was probably the King of Donghai, Li Xuan became extremely cautious.
Even if he stayed in Shendu Garden these days, he rarely met other kings.
Even if someone asks to see him, he can just go without seeing him.
The only person who could see him often was Li Xu, the eldest son of Prince Huo.
From his mouth, Li Xuan knew something happened among the kings.
Although the entire Shendu Garden and the entire Dragon Scale Palace were under Li Xuan's control, the secret exchanges between the kings were beyond his ability to spy on.
Only through Li Xu, the eldest son of King Huo, could Li Xuan know what the kings were talking about when they avoided him.
Li Xuan originally wanted to verify his guess through some clues, but King Cao Li Ming was very cautious in doing things and looked carefree. No one would associate him with the scheming King of Donghai.
Although there is no proof
However, the suspicion in Li Xuan's heart is getting heavier and heavier.
In Thousand-Faced Buddha's memory, although his meeting with the King of East China Sea was separated by a gauze curtain, the general outline of his body could still be vaguely seen.
The more he looked at it, the more Li Xuan felt that the figure of King Cao Li Ming was somewhat similar to King Donghai.
Li Xuan had previously speculated that King Luo Bin, Wang Bo and others might be the King of East China Sea, but now, he has completely forgotten that idea.
The King of Donghai is definitely from the Li Tang clan, even if it is not King Cao Li Ming, he is someone else.
Although these people are located in various places, they have been married to ministers in the court for many years and have arranged various spies intentionally or unintentionally.
If Li Xuan really said something that shouldn't be said in Qianniu Prison, it would definitely fall into the ears of those people.
What's more, Queen Wu Zhao and Emperor Li Zhi are here.
"If you don't want to know...how to find the secret altar of Tianyin Sect...ahem...you don't have to tell me." The stand-in of Thousand-Faced Buddha sneered and looked at Li Xuan, who had already appeared here today. The result is destined.
"You win!" Li Xuan sighed helplessly. She looked at the seemingly tidy underground and the welded seats placed in the corners. She shook her head. Every inch of the corner here was covered. How much blood he didn't want to get contaminated casually.
Taking two steps to the side, Li Xuan looked up at the stand-in of Thousand-Faced Buddha and said, "Although it is true, I still don't want to tell you the truth casually. In this way, I ask a question, you ask a question, I ask first , you answer first, then you ask, and then I answer." New
Looking at the stand-in of Thousand Faced Buddha with a sneer and disbelief, Li Xuan shook his head and said: "As long as you tell me how to find the secret altar of Tianyin Sect, I naturally have no reason to hide it anymore, but I think you should They are as distrustful of each other as I am, and are afraid not to speak, but also afraid that I will tell lies, so this question and answer is the most fair."
"We each have a question. I'll ask it first. If you think you can answer it, then ask me the same question after you answer it. If you think you can't answer it, let's go over the question and wait until you and I have established enough trust. , we are asking the real core questions."
The Thousand-Faced Buddha's stand-in stared at Li Xuan. After a moment, he finally said, "I want to ask first."
"I'll ask first. Looking at our situation, you should understand who should ask first." Li Xuan's face was cold and she didn't give the guy in front of her a good look at all.
Anyway, he was never the one who really wanted to know the details of Tianyin Sect.
Seeing that the other party fell silent, Li Xuan smiled and nodded: "That's right. So, let's start first. First, let's be simple. Who are you?"
"I know you are the king of Nanchang County. I am at a disadvantage on this issue, but it doesn't matter. I can tell you that my surname is Jin, and my name is Jin Fu. I am from Chang'an. I live in Zhengdaofang in the east of the city. I am the fourth son in the family, but I am a bastard, so if you want to raid my house, you’d better hurry up and send them all underground to see me, hahaha..."
Jin Fu suddenly laughed, his voice hoarse as if he were sanding paper.
Crazy, Li Xuan frowned slightly, Jin Fu said so much all at once, maybe it was because he was extremely resentful towards his relatives at home.
You can imagine that a concubine cannot have equal treatment and inheritance rights as a legitimate son. You can understand it if you look at Li Zhi, who sits in the highest position.
At that time, when Taizong was still alive, the only three brothers who had real hope of inheriting the throne were Prince Li Chengqian, King of Wei Li Tai and King of Jin Li Zhi.
Because they are all the legitimate sons of Queen Changsun, and others like King Wu Li Ke, Li Shimin just mentioned them briefly, and they were immediately sprayed unconscious by Chu Suiliang.
In this case, this was still the case before Changsun Wuji took action.
The emperor sets an example for the world, this is true for the royal family, and even more so for aristocratic families and civilian families.
"Forget it, I can tell you half of what you want to know first." Li Xuan suddenly lost any interest in playing games. He looked at Jin Fu and whispered: "I don't know if you know, Li Yan has already After being rescued, Yanzhuang was also firmly under guard. No matter what your plot was this time, it has been completely defeated. As for you, you and Qian
The Face Buddha looks really similar, but you are different from him. People like him have seen countless prosperity in the world and are nostalgic for the pleasures of the world. How can they die. "
"Have you seen the Thousand-Faced Buddha?" Jin Fu looked at Li Xuan in disbelief, and suddenly started struggling violently: "Where is he now? Have you caught him?"
"It's time for you to tell me the question I want to know. How can I find the secret altar of Tianyin Sect, and of course, the headquarters?"
