Above Luoshui, Li Xuan sat on the deck, looking at the moonlight above her head, her eyes blurred, and she didn't know what she was thinking in her heart.
A burst of slight footsteps sounded not far behind him, and Li Xuan's voice sounded faintly: "What's the matter?"
"Chang'an replied that the person who assassinated the prince was Taoist Tianmiao, the master of Wusheng Taoism." Yu Ze said in a solemn voice: "The Taishi Bureau was quite surprised that the king could escape from the hands of Taoist Tianmiao. I hope that the prince will return. After Chang'an, I can accept their visit."
"The visit is for an inspection, right?" Li Xuan was a little amused, shook her head and said, "Forget it, let them do whatever they want. I will give Tai Shi Ling a face, and let them come to the door after everything is done."
"Here!" Yu Ze slightly cupped his hands, then resigned and left.
Li Xuan took a slight breath of air and looked up at the waning moon above her head.
The Taishi Bureau is not a place for historians now.
During the Qin and Han Dynasties, the Taishi Ling was also in charge of drafting documents, recording historical events, compiling historical books, and was also in charge of national classics, astronomical calendars, sacrifices, etc., and was a minister of the imperial court.
After the Wei and Jin Dynasties, the compilation of history was placed in the hands of the Secretariat Secretary, and the Taishi Ling was only responsible for calculating the calendar.
The Taishi Ling of the Tang Dynasty was in charge of the Bureau of Taishi and the celestial calendar.
The previous Taishi Ling was Li Chunfeng, a man from Changle County, and the current Taishi Ling was Li Chunfeng's son Li Yan. After his father died, his son succeeded him.
However, these are actually just overt responsibilities. In addition to controlling the time and celestial calendar, the Taishi Bureau is also secretly responsible for handling the treacherous affairs of the Taoist demons in the world, and the responsibilities are very deep.
Although the cases involving Qianniu Guard, Jinwu Guard, Secret Guard, Neiwei, and Baiqisi involve Taoist demons, they are mostly related to rebellion in the palace, the court, and rebellion.
However, the vastness of the world has nothing to do with rebellion, but involves countless things involving ordinary people, and even the elves of heaven, earth, mountains and rivers.
The responsibility for handling such matters fell into the hands of the Taishi Bureau.
At that time, the pair of masters and disciples, Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng, played an indispensable role in helping Emperor Taizong suppress the evil demon sect in the world and stabilize the foundation of the Tang Dynasty.
At that time, the Demon Sect fell and the Tianyin Sect took advantage of the situation. It was because Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng jointly suppressed the Demon Sect.
Although the Tianyin Sect is known as the Demon Sect, most of the methods it practices are Taoist and have little to do with the Demon Sect. In addition, it is far away in the mountains and wilderness of the southeast, so the Taishi Bureau does not manage it.
On the contrary, it is the Demon Sect, which has been suppressed for decades and is only left to survive. It was not until Li Chunfeng passed away five years ago that they gradually raised their heads and even now have the faint ability to participate in the world's ups and downs.
But is Li Chunfeng really dead?
Li Xuan thought, and a delusion appeared in his mind.
Just like the queen is actually just coming out of her shell, and the sun god is in the world. If Li Chunfeng is the same, Li Xuan will not be surprised at all.
The Demon Sect is afraid of the same, so when the Tianyin Sect is in trouble, they don't dare to take too many actions.
What's more, one Ming Chongyan and one Sima Chengzhen suppressed them so much that they couldn't even lift their heads.
Although Li Yan is not as famous as his father Li Chunfeng, there are countless experts in the Taishi Bureau, not to mention that they can mobilize the Jinwu Guards and the entire Chang'an Sixteenth Guards to assist at any time, and their strength is definitely second to none.
The demon sect will gather in Chang'an on New Year's Day. It's hard to know what kind of conspiracy there is.
…
The fact that Li Xuan survived under the hands of Master Tianmiao, the master of Wusheng Dao, is indeed extremely surprising.
Tianmiao Zhenren is a master-level expert in the half-step Yangshen realm. It can be said that except for a few strong Yangshen realms who reside in the human world, they are the strongest.
But Li Xuan survived from the hands of Master Tianmiao.
Tianmiao Zhenren, Li Xuan's expression became completely solemn, and his heart couldn't help but feel heavy.
As long as there is someone here who connects the words "tian" and "li", the identity of the so-called real person Tianmiao will be announced to everyone immediately.
Li Miao, the king of Shangzhu Kingdom and Yi'an County, and the son of Li Xiaochang, the governor of Lizhou.
Li Xiaochang, the king of Nghe An, and Li Jiancheng, the hidden prince, rebelled after the Xuanwu Gate Incident. They joined forces with General Liu Deyu of the Youwu Guard, Yuan Hongshan of the Commander-in-Chief, Sun Anye, the General of the Zuo Jianmen, Du Caiqian, the Governor of Huazhou, and others to plot the rebellion. He was executed after the incident.
Li Xuan sighed softly, and the guard beside King Donghai turned out to be the son of Li Xiaochang, the king of Ngee An.
Not to mention anything else, just the exposure of Li Miao's identity is enough to make many people believe in the authenticity of the identity of King of the East China Sea.
Li Miao turned out to be the Taoist Master Tian Miao. Although it was hard to believe, after fighting Li Miao in person, Li Xuan no longer had any doubts.
Although he didn't know what exactly happened that year that made the son of a dignified county prince become the Taoist master of Wusheng Tao, one of the eight sects of the Demon Sect, but thinking about the pain back then, it was not possible to explain it clearly in just a few words.
Li Xuan couldn't help but suspect that behind King Donghai, Li Miao and others, there were others helping them.
And this person is extremely important in the Demon Sect.
…
Li Xuan gently opened her right hand forward, and a transparent, glistening ball appeared in Li Xuan's palm.
This is the Yang Shen fragment that Li Xuan chopped off directly from Li Miao's body.
Although Li Miao's Yangshen managed to escape in the end, he had already paid a cruel price.
Taking a deep breath, Li Xuan directly pressed the ball in the palm of her hand between her eyebrows, and then pressed it in heavily.
In an instant, a colorful light flashed.
The world has changed before Li Xuan's eyes.
In an extremely majestic and solemn underground palace, a figure sat cross-legged in a secret room.
Suddenly, he suddenly opened his eyes and glanced in a certain direction in the void. The next moment, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and the entire stone chamber was instantly filled with blood red.
At this moment, the bloody luster rushed towards Li Xuan's field of vision in the blink of an eye.
Li Xuan was instantly driven out of the memory of Yang Shen Fragment.
…
Li Xuan's eyes fell from the endless sky, and his breathing became extremely heavy in an instant.
He pressed his eyebrows a little harder, his eyes flickering with thought.
Underground palace, underground palace.
Whether it is Tianyin Sect or Wusheng Dao, they have always been like rats in the gutter that cannot be seen.
What they are best at is making use of the tunnels and palace groups that were once buried underground, and Chang'an and Luoyang have the most of these things.
Is it Luoyang or Chang'an?
Chang'an must be Chang'an.
Li Miao is the personal guard of the King of East China Sea. The King of East China Sea is in Chang'an, so the place where he is can only be Chang'an.
The underground palace of Chang'an.
Li Xuan's fists suddenly clenched.
This kind of place is definitely not rare in Chang'an. I don't know which palace that was once hidden underground was found by the King of Donghai and developed into a secret base hidden underground.
Although there are many places like Chang'an, if you check them one by one, it will take some time to find out.
Li Xuan's mind suddenly calmed down. Even if the King of East China Sea wanted to move, it shouldn't be now.
If he wants to make a move, it is very likely that he will be at the funeral of Princess Yin.
If you grasp this, it is very likely that you will directly steal the Donghai King's lair in the end.
Li Xuan asked herself, should she really do this?
The King of East China Sea is a very useful chess piece. If this chess piece continues to exist, it is likely to directly suppress Empress Wu's ambitions.
No, Li Xuan opened her eyes, smiled bitterly and shook her head slightly, it was useless.
The King of East China Sea is just a descendant of Prince Yin Li Jiancheng, but Li Xian and Li Dan are both Li Zhi's biological sons, and both of them still sit on the throne. Therefore, even if the King of East China Sea is useful, it is only for Li Zhi. Useful while alive.
Once Li Zhi dies, the influence of King Donghai will be greatly reduced.
The only thing that can really determine the outcome of both sides is soldiers, and the King of East China Sea, as it turns out, he lost in the end.
What's more, the King of East China Sea is now going to kill him, and Li Xuan's expression suddenly turns gloomy.
Li Miao was in Chang'an, but he was assassinated from the air by Yang Shen, who was more than 800 miles away in Luoyang. This method was not something that ordinary people could use, and it already had the flavor of a ghost.
It’s not like Li Xuan has never been in contact with the Yangshen. The remaining Yangshen of the Empress was folded into his hands.
But Yang Shen was far away from thousands of miles away, and this method was beyond his imagination.
Do people in Taoism and Buddhism also have similar methods?
So why is this method usually unknown?
Is it because this method is too dangerous?
Sniping from thousands of miles away, even Yang Shen's power was reduced to the extreme in an instant.
Li Xuan raised her head and looked calmly in the direction of Chang'an, with a sneer on her lips. Although this method was powerful, it also had fatal flaws. Didn't Li Miao get caught by him this time?
Li Xuan's mouth showed a trace of disdain. What a fool. This method of spreading the world's attention was actually used to kill people. What a waste of resources.
Li Xuan closed her eyes, and the dark sea of consciousness suddenly bloomed with light.
In the endless mist, a golden Yang Shen fragment was quickly peeled off, and then quickly integrated into Li Xuan's sea of consciousness.
A text quickly flowed out from the depths of Li Xuan's heart.
Silently writing down this text, Li Xuan raised his head, and the Taiyin Emperor with his crown above his head stood calmly and peacefully.
…
The fleet quickly passed Sanmenxia, and then headed west along the Weishui River to Chang'an.
The wind suddenly dropped, and the boat speed increased.
On the banks on both sides, dozens of cavalry were constantly patrolling, staring in all directions, fearing that something would happen again.
In Li Xuan's bedroom, a person sat cross-legged on the ground, frowning slightly.
Suddenly, a sound appeared outside the door, and Li Xuan's eyes opened instantly with a hesitant look on his face.
"Your Majesty!" Zhou Qian's voice sounded outside the door.
"What's the matter?" Li Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, and then slowly stood up.
"A boat appeared in front, and everyone on the boat was massacred." Zhou Qian's voice was slightly nervous.
Li Xuan felt strange. As a Qianniu Guard, Zhou Qian had not only seen people being massacred, but also had done many things to massacre others. Why was he so nervous all of a sudden?
After thinking for a moment, Li Xuan pushed the door open and walked out.
Looking at Zhou Qian who was standing there nervously, Li Xuan frowned and asked: "Who is the deceased? Have you found out clearly? Also, have people from Huayin County and Huazhou Prefecture arrived?"
"It has been found out that the deceased are Gao Ping and Leng Lin, the palm guards of the Punishment Department who traveled a day faster than us, as well as a group of the Punishment Department arrests who accompanied them, and... and Xue Erlang Xue Zhang." After Zhou Qian finished speaking, he directly Lowered his head.
Li Xuan's face immediately darkened, and she frowned and said, "Why did something happen to Xue Erlang? It seems that the King of Donghai didn't want him to return to Chang'an alive. Also, what about Wen Xu, is he dead too?"
"Reporting to your Majesty, there is no sign of Wen Xu's whereabouts on the ship." Zhou Qian's voice became more cautious.
"Wen Xu escaped?" Li Xuan's face was full of surprise.
After a pause, Li Xuan said directly: "I am ordering Huazhou Prefecture and Huayin County to keep this matter secret as much as possible, seize the time to survey the scene, and then let the river channel out. The Zhengdan Dynasty is about to happen, so we can't make a fuss about it... In addition, Let the Huazhou government send elite detectives into the mountains and forests to search, and we must catch Wenxu before the end of the year."
Zhou Qian immediately handed over his hands: "Here!"
Li Xuan followed up and said: "Also, tell our brothers that it has nothing to do with us at this time. If you don't want to be left here to search for Wenxu throughout the New Year, then stay away."
"Here!" Zhou Qian felt awe in his heart, then quickly turned around and left.
Just as he stood in front of the cabin door, he heard Li Xuan's voice talking to himself behind him: "Why did the King of Donghai want to kill Xue Zhongzhang? Does he really know something?"
Hearing this, Zhou Gan's scalp felt numb for a while.
Xue Zhang, the second son of the Xue family, was born in the Xue family in Hedong. He was the nephew of Pei Yan, the Minister of Punishment, the governor of Meizhou, and a classmate of Yingying Gong.
If he really connected with the King of East China Sea, then everyone involved would be dead.
