The whole family of Xiao Jian, the Minister of Household Affairs, was burned to death in the fire. All 42 members of his family died unexpectedly. What is even weirder is that the person who set the fire was Xiao Jian himself!
When Jin Wuwei arrived, Xiao Jian had already filled his residence with kerosene, burned it all, and was himself buried in the fire.
According to Jin Wuwei, he shouted one sentence amidst the flames.
"I am worthy of the King of Qi!"
Hearing Gao Quan say these words, Li Shimin's eyes narrowed slightly and he said: "When Xiao Jian became a beggar due to the war and was about to starve to death, it was King Qi who gave him a meal."
"For the sake of a meal, he is willing to burn himself to death, even taking the whole family with him..."
Li Shimin felt very complicated and sighed: "Sure enough, this is the icing on the cake, but it is not as good as providing help in times of need."
He had been very kind to Xiao Jian over the years, but in the end it was still not as good as the meal Li Yuanji gave him.
He suddenly remembered his father's evaluation of Xiao Jian, saying that he was a man of good temperament, which was indeed the case.
Li Chunfeng's eyes moved and he said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, Xiao Jian had time to self-immolate, which proves that he got the news in advance. This also means that someone in the palace leaked the secret."
One thing he didn't say clearly was that the leaker's level was probably not low.
Because what happened tonight has been strictly forbidden to be reported outside, the number of patrolling guards has doubled, and in order to prevent the news from leaking, he even transferred the soldiers guarding the Xuanwu Gate, just to avoid being seen when he was fighting with the men in black robes. .
But as soon as the man in black was exposed, Xiao Jian, who had secretly communicated with him, calmly set himself on fire. This shows that the news was transmitted very quickly. The man in black had just rushed out of His Majesty's palace, and Xiao Jian might have been there. Message received.
"Could it have been informed by the escaped man in black robe?"
Li Daoxuan asked.
Li Chunfeng shook his head and said: "It's impossible, because when His Majesty ordered the Jinwu Guards to arrest Xiao Jian, we were still fighting the black-robed man at Xuanwu Gate."
Li Daoxuan nodded. In this case, there is only one explanation, and that is that there is a high-level spy in the palace. After this person realized that the matter was exposed, he immediately informed Xiao Jian.
However, although they have figured out the key points, once Xiao Jian died, the clues have been interrupted. All that can be done now is to search for the men in black robes and find out the spies in the palace.
A chill flashed in Li Shimin's eyes. He didn't expect that the Tai Chi Palace where he lived would hide so many tricks.
"I am personally responsible for this matter. The spies will be found within two days!"
…
Li Daoxuan and Li Chunfeng left the palace together.
Along the way, Li Chunfeng seemed a little distracted, as if he was worried about something.
Li Dao

Li Chunfeng shook his head and said: "No matter when, there will be no shortage of spies in the palace. Even if you kill this one, there will be another one. I am not worried about this."
"Oh? Then what are you worried about?"
Li Chunfeng frowned and said, "I was wondering, how did the man in black robe break His Majesty's dragon energy?"
He stopped, a worried look in his eyes.
If the other party can ignore the dragon energy, it means that His Majesty's life will be threatened at any time. This is what he is most worried about.
Li Daoxuan couldn't understand this either, but one good thing about him was that he didn't think about things he couldn't understand.
"Let's go. When you find the man in black robe, remember to inform me. Next time, I won't let him escape again."
After saying this, Li Daoxuan stretched, and clouds appeared under his feet again, quickly flying into the air.
Li Chunfeng shook his head, is it great to be able to fly?
Although he does not know the art of flying, he is proficient in Qimen Dunjia, Yin-Yang and Five Elements, Feng Shui and Kanyu, formation mechanisms, astronomy and geography...
A black shadow fell from high in the sky.
Li Chunfeng reached out to take it and found it was a stack of talismans.
Among them are amulets, longevity talismans, and the fifth-level five-thunder talisman!
These were all drawn by Li Daoxuan himself after he entered the Yin Shen Realm. Their power is extraordinary and far exceeds that of ordinary spiritual talismans, especially the Five Thunder Talisman. It can cause considerable harm even to monks in the Yin Shen Realm.
"Brother Taoist, in the past I went to the underworld to cut off the weak belly. Thanks to the killing orders and hexagrams you gave me. Li doesn't have many friends, but you are one. Keep these talismans and don't die. I'm still waiting to kill you." The Tianjian is drinking!"
Above the clouds, Li Daoxuan's voice echoed, but his figure had disappeared without a trace.
Tonight, Li Chunfeng planned to ruin the Moro Sect's plan, and he was likely to be retaliated against. He was not good at fighting, and these talismans of Li Daoxuan were very precious to him.
Li Chunfeng held these talismans and was stunned for a moment, then smiled.
He originally wanted to put the talisman away, but after thinking about it, he spread it out one by one, sorted out the folds on it, and then put it in his arms.
Looking in the direction where Li Daoxuan left, he saw no one around. He straightened his clothes, bowed and whispered, "It is an honor for me to be friends with Master Li."
Li Chunfeng is a very reserved person. Anyone who knows him well knows that his favorite things are reading and stargazing. Sometimes he spends the whole night sitting at the stargazing platform.
Unless there was something urgent, he was actually taciturn and never expressed his emotions easily. Tonight, he only revealed his true feelings when no one was around.
However, the moment he finished speaking, a fly flew to Li Chunfeng's ear.
"Old Li, I didn't expect you to have such admiration for me!"
It was Li Daoxuan's voice, and the little bug turned out to be a clone left by Li Daoxuan, which was a bit of a joke for him.
Li Chunfeng's gentle and jade-like face suddenly stiffened, and his whole person looked a little messy in the wind.
Lao Li?
"Hey, Lao Li, why don't we become brothers? Although I am a little younger than you, my Taoism is stronger than yours, I have more magical powers, my magic weapons are more powerful than you, and my appearance is better than yours, so just eat Take a loss and be a big brother——"
Snapped!
Li Chunfeng had no expression on his face and swatted the fly to death with one slap.
The whole world suddenly became quiet.
…
Above the white clouds, Li Daoxuan showed a smile.
This Li Chunfeng is also an interesting person.
He stepped on the auspicious clouds, traveled across the sea of stars, and overlooked the entire Chang'an City from a height of 10,000 feet. He soon discovered the Xiao family that was still on fire.
Chang'an has been experiencing a drought for a long time and is already very dry. Coupled with the shortage of water sources, although many officers and soldiers are working hard to put out the fire, the fire is still spreading and is about to spread to surrounding houses.
Li Daoxuan closed his eyebrows and frowned slightly, because there were no survivors in the Xiao family, and they were buried in the fire, and even their souls could not be saved.
He patted the Three Realms Gourd on his waist and sighed: "Take it away!"
The next moment, the fire that was about to spread suddenly stopped, and then flew straight to Jiutian like a fire dragon. From a distance, it looked like a pillar of fire reaching into the sky, which was spectacular.
The officers, soldiers and civilians fighting the fire below stared blankly at this scene. Through the soaring firelight, they saw what seemed to be a figure sitting in the clouds above the nine heavens.
The fire poured into the clouds and quickly disappeared.
When the flames completely dissipated, the figure also disappeared. In the night sky, there was only the bright moon hanging high and the stars shining brightly.
However, the ashes and wreckage of the Xiao family reminded everyone that what just happened was not an illusion.
