Amu drew his sword.
Yang Sixian waved his hand and smiled.
He stood about a few feet away in front of Li Chenan, but there was no regret in his eyes when he looked at Li Chenan.
"follow me."
"Where to go?"
"Take you out safely."
"…who are you?"
"You will know in the future, but I will never harm you. Now, Ji Tuo is coming here with his troops, and he will kill you!"
Li Chenan pondered for three breaths: "Where is Wen Xiaowan?"
"We should have arrived at Yihong Tower by now."
"what on earth is it?"
"Let's see how brave you are."
"...Who wants to see it?"
"Of course he is the current emperor!"
"Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
"It's worth it for me to win Jitai's trust by breaking off my arm. Besides... I am alone and have no granddaughter!"
"But I do hope to have a granddaughter. Maybe I will really try my best to marry my granddaughter to you."
Li Chenan didn't believe that the emperor wanted to see his courage.
Because he is just a little person from Guangling City. Even if he has some fame in Kyoto, he is at most the most talented person in Ning Kingdom.
If the emperor is interested in me, he can summon him with an imperial edict, so why bother to do such a complicated thing to test his courage?
What does it matter whether you are brave or not?
If Yang Sixian had not lied about the rest of his words, then he was actually an undercover agent arranged by the emperor in the Fish and Dragon Society.
Wen Xiaowan is a bait.
Yang Sixian kidnapped Wen Xiaowan into Kyoto, hoping that he could take the bait and come to Kyoto.
Wen Xiaowan is Wen Boiyu's daughter. His daughter was kidnapped. He should be anxious and seek the help of his grandson Jinghong to rescue Wen Xiaowan.
But he did nothing.
Therefore, Shang Di's statement that Yang Sixian was most likely the murderer who killed Wen Zhuiyu's family in Huoshao Boiyu Xiaozhu is not true!
Wen Xiaowan was adopted by Shang Di, and all the information Wen Xiaowan knew came from Shang Di.
Wen Xiaowan was determined to assassinate Yang Sixian... Why did Shang Di instill this wrong hatred in Wen Xiaowan?
Or maybe the information Shang Di got was wrong.
It happened to be taken advantage of by Yang Sixian.
And I was also taken advantage of!
The Imperial City Department used this to eliminate the Fish and Dragon Society... but it still didn't make sense, because the Imperial City Department was the official organization, and Changsun Jinghong could eliminate the Fish and Dragon Society at any time, so why go to all the trouble?
So what role did you play?
In just a short moment, Li Chenan thought a lot, but the more he thought about it, the more confused he became.
"Let's go, I'm afraid it's too late to stay here."
Li Chenan did not leave.
He pointed to the iron cages in the water prison, "Who are they?"
"There are ministers in the court who have offended Ji Tai, and there are also... there are also righteous men in the world who want to assassinate Ji Tai."
"Let them go."
Yang Sixian pondered for a moment, then went to a nearby house and took out a set of keys.
He really opened all the cages inside, and even said to those who were still confused after being released:
"Let's all go, but remember, it was Li Chenan who saved you."
"After you leave, let's all fly away."
"Kyoto is too dangerous. If Ji Tai catches you again, you will have no chance of survival!"
Yang Sixian turned around and came to Li Chenan.
"Let's go. If you don't leave, it will be too late."
The group of people left the water prison.
Among the more than ten people who were released, there was an old man in his sixties. He was dressed in rags and had unkempt hair.
At this moment, he stretched out his hand to smooth away the messy hair on his forehead, and his eyes fell on Li Chenan's back.
Suddenly he grinned and walked out of the water prison, but did not follow Yang Sixian and his party.
Yang Sixian led Li Chenan and others along a bluestone path to the backyard, whereupon Li Chenan heard the sound of rushing water.
He opened the small door to the backyard.
"There is the Yudai River outside, and there is a small boat by the river."
"After you board the boat, the boatman will take you to the twelfth bridge."
"goodbye!"
Yang Sixian turned around, and Li Chenan suddenly stopped him: "Don't you want to go together?"
"I still have something to do."
"If you have time, I'll buy you a drink."
"Okay, when things get settled here, I will go find you for a drink."
Yang Sixian turned around and left, and no one saw a meaningful smile on his face.
…
…
The boat sails on the Yudai River.
The battle at the Ichthyosaur Society headquarters is still fierce.
The boat was traveling very fast down the river, and the sound of the fierce battle gradually fell behind it and disappeared from the ears.
Li Chenan had a dream-like feeling at this moment.
I seem to have done a lot tonight.
But it seems like nothing was done.
He suddenly remembered something Chang Sun Jinghong said to him when he was in the Imperial City Division -
"It's not that the Imperial City Division won't take action against the Ichthyosaur Society, it's just that the time has not come yet."
"But since you want to rescue Wen Xiaowan... then I will help you. I can't watch the grandson of my old friend die."
"You grew up in Guangling City, you are not very old, and your experience is naturally not very deep. What I want to tell you is that since you have come to Kyoto, and since you have stepped into this muddy water, you must hurry up Grow up.”
"There are good and evil in people's hearts. You need to make your own judgment. Don't trust someone easily. Even if it's me, you have to be careful because the dangers in Kyoto... are everywhere!"
"In general, you need to be strong enough!"
"In the face of a powerful enough force, all conspiracies and machinations...are like a dream."
So, what is the powerful enough force in this world?
Of course it’s the imperial power!
Li Chenan was suddenly startled, and then he realized that his original idea of living a happy life in Guangling City was just wishful thinking!
He suddenly understood why his second uncle Li Wenhou kept saying you shouldn't come to Kyoto over and over again!
It's just that he had never thought about rebellion before.
At this moment, some thoughts came into his mind.
What he was wondering about at this moment was... Why was he, the abandoned son of the former Li Mansion in Guangling City, so seriously discouraged by Li Wenhou?
Why did he get such great help from Changsun Jinghong?
Is it just because of grandpa Li Chunfu?
By coming to Kyoto, whose interests have been affected?
If he were just the most talented man in the world, those noble and powerful officials would not take notice of him at all, let alone deliberately want him to die.
Is it because he is about to become the uncle of Dingguo Houfu, cutting off the path of the second prince Ning Zhixing and blocking his plan to take over the East Palace?
It can only be explained in this way.
The ship docked.
Li Chenan and his party landed ashore.
After climbing dozens of stone steps, they stood in an alley, but they were all stunned——
The lights are bright in front of you!
Because there is a huge umbrella in the alley!
There is a large table under the umbrella.
There was only one person sitting at the table.
Behind this man stood more than twenty girls holding lanterns!
Behind those girls... was a dark group of samurai armed with swords.
Li Chenan's heart skipped a beat.
He raised his eyes and looked behind the group of warriors.
Behind is a high wall and an open door.
There are several large characters written on the lintel of the gate:
Prince De's Mansion!
The man under the umbrella looked up at him now.
A smile appeared on his face.
