Li Xuan stood in front of the royal couch, with a hint of relief in her eyes.
On the royal couch in front of him, there were five secret books placed at the moment. Each of them was opened, and there were densely packed small words on them.
These were found by Li Xuan under the imperial couch, and they were the deepest secrets hidden by King Luo Bin.
The entire Tao of Wusheng, the entire court, everything that King Luo Bin had from decades ago, is all in these secret books.
After all the hard work, he finally gained something, and his hard work was not in vain.
Li Xuan reached out and picked up the first secret book from the left side. When he picked it up, the name on the cover of this book was revealed.
The secret method of lifelessness.
The deepest secret method at the core of the Tao of Inanimation.
Although Li Miao was able to achieve Yang Shen with the help of Yun Hebi, more importantly, it was the secret method of the inanimate self.
Sacrificing one's own vitality in exchange for repairing all damage to oneself is only one of the effects of the secret method of inanimation.
By sacrificing one's own vitality in exchange for a breakthrough in cultivation, this is the reason why the Tao of Inanimate Power can be truly powerful.
It is precisely because of this method that the Wusheng Dao killer has gained such a great reputation in the world.
But the problem is that this method has too many consequences.
A killer with no way of life lost too much vitality too quickly, and eventually died within a few years.
Although the world today is not without Tao, there are always people joining the Tao of Inanimation.
Li Xuan looked at the list of Wu Sheng Tao assassins behind the secret method and sighed in his heart. These assassins were all trained by King Luo Bin over many years of hard work.
If he ignores it, the news of King Luo Bin's death will inevitably leak out, so it is inevitable to master those killers through this secret method.
Li Xuan didn't want people in the Demon Cult to know that King Luo Bin was dead right now.
Of course, since King Luo Bin is dead, there will naturally be no one to take charge of the martial arts master register, which will naturally make people suspicious.
But suspicion is suspicion after all. People in the Demon Cult are best at faking death and escaping from the world, so King Luo Bin will just disappear at most.
Moreover, the nominal Taoist Master Wusheng has always been Li Miao, and the Yang Shen behind the queen has changed enough.
As for most of King Luo Bin's killers, they are newcomers in the past few years and are easy to control.
As for those top assassins who have practiced the secret method of Wu Sheng and are still alive today, the relationship between King Luo Bin and them is closer to cooperation.
How could they, smart people who could survive, fail to see the flaw in the secret method of inanimateness? Their loyalty to the inanimate way has long since turned into a combination of interests.
That's good.
Li Xuan put down the secret method of lifelessness.
In his opinion, both King Luo Bin and the Demon Sect have made huge mistakes in the use of this secret method.
The most suitable place for this secret method is never to find someone to be a killer, but to use it on the battlefield.
At the moment of life and death, when a soldier explodes with huge power, this is the best use of this secret method.
However, if you want to use this secret book, you need to make large-scale modifications and deletions to it, completely change it, and then find a source that can explain the past.
It is easy to use on the battlefield.
Li Xuan picked up the second secret book. This one recorded King Luo Bin's caravans, personnel and relationships in the Tang Dynasty and the Western Regions. It was his real source of money.
After mastering the details of this caravan, those killers, and King Luo Bin, Li Xuan can gradually grasp them all.
Li Xuan has people under his command, and he can swallow up King Luo Bin's power in the Western Region.
There are also clear records of King Luo Bin's properties, secret strongholds, and treasure hiding places in the Tang Dynasty.
In addition to the complicated affairs of the caravan, including personnel accounting, purchasing and shipping, and contacts along the way, I wrote down a whole book.
I really don’t know why King Luo Bin recorded these things in such detail.
Li Xuan read the second secret book carefully, memorized it in his mind, and then put it down.
…
There are not many names in the third secret book, but there is a lot of content.
Most of them are county captains, bookkeepers, city gate captains, and city gate officials in some local prefectures and counties. Although their official positions are not high, they are more or less in charge of the key points. However, these people have various minor problems. In the end, they were controlled by King Luo Bin one by one.
The Wushengdao killers under King Luo Bin also lurk in various places through these people.
Even after the Tianyin Sect was destroyed, they used various means to control all the remnants of the Tianyin Sect.
However, these people may not know that what is behind them is the Tao of Inanimation.
This is good, and it is also convenient to control them.
Li Xuan became familiar with the names on the fourth account book.
Song Zhiwen, Yang Jiong, Du Shenyan, and even Li Jingye and Wu Chengsi.
People who knew King Luo Bin both inside and outside the court, and who had a good relationship with King Luo Bin, were all on his list.
These are all his official connections.
Li Xuan even saw the name of Yang Shan, the young minister of Honglu Temple, as well as the disciples of the Zhongshu, including the left and right, the left and right, the left and right, the left and right, the censor, etc., as well as the Imperial College, famous scholars from all over the place. , a scholar from a big family.
Among these records, there are more scholars. Unlike the previous one, Li Xuan even saw the name of a Chang'an city gate captain.
King Luo Bin was also Qingliu. Through these people, he could inadvertently obtain a lot of news about the court.
Even if he wants to do something in court, these people will respond and become a powerful force.
The fifth and last book has the fewest names.
The first one is the name of Wenxi County Lord Liu Guangye.
Li Xuan immediately knew what this was. These were the real powers that linked King Luo Bin to the clan and local aristocratic families.
These were even people who knew his identity.
Looking at these people, who were either concubines or unofficial officials, Li Xuan immediately understood that these descendants of the Yin Prince's court officials, especially the descendants who had a rather unsatisfactory life, were the real descendants of King Luo Bin. Power, power that can truly be trusted.
…
Li Xuan turned to the last page, and there was only one name written on it, Jia Hui.
The former prince Xima Jiahui.
Jia Hui, a native of Yiwu, Wuzhou, was a Jinshi scholar in the 19th year of Zhenguan.
That year was also the year when King Luo Bin went to Beijing to take the scientific examination. But that year, King Luo Bin failed in Jia Hui High School.
In the early years of Yonghui, Jia Hui returned to his hometown to worship his ancestors and overhauled the Jia Clan Ancestral Hall in Yangchuan, Yiwu.
Jia Hui invited King Luo Bin to help create a genealogical map of the Jia family in Yiwu Yangchuan.
When Jia Hui returned to Beijing, he took King Luo Bin with him and recommended him to be a minor official in the palace of Taoist King Li Yuanqing.
Later, King Luo Bin was ashamed to show off and refused to obey his orders. However, in the same year, Jia Hui recommended King Luo Bin again.
King Luo Bin was appointed Fenglilang and Bachelor of Dongtai Xiangzheng, but within three years, King Luo Bin was sent to the Western Regions to join the army.
After returning to the court, it was with the help of Jia Hui, the then crown prince, that King Luo Bin was awarded the post of Master of Martial Arts.
It can be said that Jia Hui is the biggest contributor to King Luo Bin's success today.
However, the strange thing is that King Luo Bin circled Jia Hui's name with emphasis, and then clicked it heavily.
period? No, it's a question mark.
Chinese punctuation has been around since ancient times. The "Book of Rites" of the Western Han Dynasty has already begun to use punctuation marks. This is the method of deviating from the classics.
In "Shuowen Jiezi" of the Eastern Han Dynasty, more words were used.
Although books with punctuation marks are not mainstream nowadays, they can be seen everywhere in private schools, and each family uses them differently.
There is no usage of question mark today, but period, in addition to being used as a break at the end of a statement, can also be used as a question mark.
But why did King Luo Bin put a question mark on Jia Hui's name?
Jia Hui is King Luo Bin's benefactor and has been helping King Luo Bin for many years. It's natural to pay special attention to it. This question mark is a bit too suspicious.
Of course, King Luo Bin himself was a suspicious person, so it was normal for him to be suspicious of Jia Hui, who had been helping him.
After all, rice rises and rice grows, and rice grows grudges and rice hates!
Wait, that's not right.
Li Xuan's expression suddenly became solemn.
Although that is true, given King Luo Bin's character, if he really had doubts about Jia Hui, he would definitely try his best to find out.
Li Xuan believes that he has this ability.
And with King Luo Bin's connections, after conducting some investigations, Jia Hui still made him suspicious.
There is something interesting about Jia Hui that even King Luo Bin has not found out.
Emperor, Empress Wu, or Demon Cult?
There are not many records about Jia Hui in the secret book, especially after the death of Prince Li Hong, Jia Hui resigned directly.
The house that Li Xuan later bought in Luoyang originally belonged to Jia Hui.
At that time, Li Xuan thought that Jia Hui's body contained evidence about the mystery of the death of Prince Li Hong, but it turned out that he had thought too much.
After Jia Hui resigned, he did not go south along the canal and return to Wuzhou. Instead, he went to Chang'an. After visiting King Luo Bin and his family, he went to Yizhou, visited Shuchuan and then returned to Wuzhou.
Li Xuan originally wanted to ask Yizhou Prefecture to intercept King Luo Bin, but he did not expect that the one who finally intercepted King Luo Bin would be a secret guard.
Later, Jia Hui returned to Chang'an, and in October last year, Jia Hui was appointed as a doctor in the Ministry of Household Affairs.
The doctor of Hubu is on the fifth rank, just below the minister of Hubu and the minister of Hubu.
Such a person is undoubtedly King Luo Bin's biggest connection. Many things he knows in the court may come from Jia Hui.
King Luo Bin still has doubts about this person, so he may really have a problem.
…
Li Xuan stood in front of the palace door and slowly closed it.
If he now wears King Luo Bin's human skin mask, he will definitely be able to replace King Luo Bin and become King Luo Bin.
But unfortunately, firstly, King Luo Bin's body was destroyed, and secondly, Li Xuan had no interest in King Luo Bin's identity at all.
The disappearance of King Luo Bin was originally part of his plan, and there was no need for him to break his plan.
Thirdly, King Luo Bin was a famous poet in the Tang Dynasty, and his contacts were mostly with scholars, but few with novices.
Even Li Xuan couldn't grasp his speaking habits and behavior.
After the investigation, it is easier for people to find out the flaws and simply do nothing.
After closing the door, everything about King Luo Bin came to an end completely with Li Xuan.
Li Xuan turned around, glanced at Li Miao's body in the underground palace, and then quickly entered the tunnel and left the underground palace along the tunnel.
On the lower reaches of the Wei River, a black carriage took Li Xuan back to Chang'an City among the crowd.
At this moment, the carriage curtain flashed past, and Ming Chongyan rode on a tall horse, leading a large group of Qianniu Guards, and quickly headed towards the Chang'an Palace of the Old Han Dynasty.
Qianniuwei? Secret guard!
Li Xuan sneered in her heart. Among the palace regulations, the internal guards officially existed, and there was the Internal Security Bureau.
But the secret guards were secretly stationed in every corner of Chang'an City, and many things could not be hidden from the eyes of the Emperor and Empress Wu.
It's like there is enough big data, but there is a lack of screening methods.
Secret guards have a limited role.
After just one glance, Li Xuan withdrew his gaze, and his gaze was powerful to avoid being discovered by Ming Chongyan.
Ming Chongyan was not a simple person, even Li Miao was defeated by him.
After a while, a violent Yuan Qi fluctuation came from the direction of the ruins of the Chang'an Imperial Palace of the Old Han Dynasty.
Dagui City, Yunhebi, Ming Chongyan.
Li Xuan knew without looking that Yun Hebi, who had just arrived, met Ming Chongyan who had just left the city.
Li Xuan lowered his head slightly. With the little tricks he had done when leaving the city, Ming Chongyan guessed the place with just a few clicks.
Just when Li Xuan entered the city, a mysterious spiritual light suddenly fell into the body of Li Miao in the underground palace, and into the Yang God behind the queen.
One month later, in Chang'an City, there will be a magic ceremony.
