The Book of Heaven

Chapter 412

In Chang'an City, it has also started to rain heavily in the past few days, and it seems that winter is about to enter. People inside and outside the entire Chang'an City are busy preparing for the winter.

On the official road, a group of cavalry wearing frontier armor were galloping on horseback. The horses were splayed out against the drizzle, and their fur was wet. It was probably more sweat than rain.

Compared with war horses, the knights on horseback were more exhausted, but they did not dare to relax in the slightest, just because they wanted to send the decree they had just received to their general, Li Yuan, in the shortest possible time.

This group of cavalry is Li Yuan's personal soldiers and the most trusted personal soldiers of Li Yuan. They set off from the camp four days ago and rushed all the way into Chang'an almost without sleep. Hand over to His Majesty the Emperor.

Afterwards, these cavalrymen were taken down to eat, drink and wash, and then slept for two full days and one night. When they woke up, they found out that the lights in the royal study had not been extinguished during the time they were sleeping. Dao memorials, up to His Majesty the Emperor, down to the civil and military courts of the Manchu Dynasty, I don't know how many people's eyes are red.

Fortunately, it was not the imperial swordsman who finally appeared in front of them, but a few palace eunuchs with white beards.These eunuchs brought a sealed secret decree to the cavalry, asking them to rush back to the barracks as quickly as possible, and repeatedly told them not to lose the secret decree.

The soldiers who received the secret decree and were instructed did not dare to delay, even before they had time to take a bite of hot food, they rushed out of the palace like a whirlwind, and rode their horses towards the western camp.

After they ran, they might not be able to get off their horses for another two days and two nights. When they arrived at the camp, many people might fall to the ground.Just after this group of horse-riding cavalry left the city, rumors began to spread from nowhere, saying that spies had appeared within the empire, and they were still imperial nobles.

For ordinary people, this is a huge event, so no one can stop these rumors from spreading in Chang'an City. In the end, these rumors have become very clear, and even the family of the spies has been named.

After all, the rumors that suddenly appeared were known to His Majesty the Emperor who lived deep in the palace. The emperor who was originally furious suddenly calmed down after hearing the version of the speech. The thing is probably because these rumors are not all nonsense, and the spies pointed out in the rumors are none other than the Li family in Longxi.

It seems that someone leaked what happened two days ago, no matter whether he was intentional or not, today he doesn't intend to pursue it. Anyway, this matter will be exposed sooner or later. It's a good thing, at least it doesn't have to be unacceptable to everyone.

Except for Li Yuan's personal soldiers who returned to the camp with a secret decree, seven or eight teams were sent out one after another from Chang'an City. Almost every team was led by a martial arts master. They were heading in the same direction, but few people knew what they were going for.

At the same time, Li Yan in Tianshui City was standing in front of a coffin with a livid face.

This coffin is made of high-quality cypress wood, with three layers inside and outside, and a coffin pier hewn out of bluestone.Regardless of the fact that the lid of the coffin has not been crucified yet, and the pier of the coffin has already been sent to the cemetery.

In the coffin lies Li Min's most beloved son, Li Hong. As for Li Hong's mother, she has already been lying down because of repeated pain.Although Li Zong is not short of sons, but he has a special preference for Li Hong. Now that a white-haired man gives a black-haired man, not only does Li Zan feel that the whole family is about to fall apart, but it also makes his brain unable to function normally.

Li Hong will be buried early tomorrow morning, and the Li family has been busy for several days about this matter. Finally, the funeral is going to happen, and many people secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

But for Li Bin, burial means losing Li Hong forever, such a result is unacceptable to Li Bin.

"Hong Er, don't worry, go, Daddy, I will definitely find your murderer, and I will kill his whole family to be buried with you!" Standing in front of the coffin, Li Hong knew that Li Hong could no longer hear him, but Still secretly swear.At this moment, a black figure suddenly appeared beside Li Yan, but it was a man whose whole body was wrapped in a black short jacket, and even his face was covered by a black scarf.

"Master Patriarch, there is news from Chang'an, things seem to have leaked out!"

"Ok?"

Li Yan was taken aback for a moment, then slowly turned his head and looked into the man's eyes as if he couldn't believe it, "Did the news leak? What's going on?"

"This..." The man seemed to have something hard to say, and he didn't dare to speak out in front of Li Bing at this moment. He just lowered his head, took out a letter from his arms, held it up to Li Bing and said, "The situation is all in the letter, little one." It is only responsible for communication."

Although this is true, but in fact he must know something, but he doesn't want to say it directly, at least he should be tactful through letters, and at the same time, he will not be allowed to bear Li Min's anger.It can be seen from this that Li Yan has no strengths in the way of imperial servants.

"Go back!"

Clearly aware of his subordinate's thoughts, but Li Yan still took the letter and swung it back. The man in black was obviously not inferior in martial arts, and almost disappeared without a trace in the room after two flashes.

When there was no one else in the room, Li Bing couldn't wait to open the letter paper, and after hastily reading the thick stack of letters, Li Bing was already trembling with anger!

"White-eyed wolf! White-eyed wolf! I knew you were a white-eyed wolf who couldn't be fed! How dare you, Li Yuan, dare to spoil the old man's affairs. I can't keep you!"

Accompanied by dancing and roaring, the letter paper also turned into pieces of butterflies flying in the air in Li Zong's hands, and it became smaller and smaller as it circled between Li Zong's fingers, until finally it turned into a cloud of white. The powder gradually disappeared.

As if venting the anger in his heart in this way, the expression on Li Yan's face gradually calmed down.

"Come on!"

After taking a deep breath and calming down his last anger completely, Li Yan asked someone to come in.

Li Yan, who has been the head of the Li family for many years, finally woke up because of the letter just now. He also realized that the Li family is now on the verge of life and death, and the person who caused all this to happen is him. Own.

Although he has such a clear understanding, Li Yan does not think that he is wrong. In his opinion, if a Nuoda family wants to develop for a long time, it is impossible to pin all their hopes on a court. It is to lay the foundation for themselves everywhere, among which the Da Yuezhi near the northwest border of the empire is Li Zong who chose a retreat for the Li family at the beginning.

The reason why they chose Da Yuezhi at the beginning was because they felt that Da Yuezhi was strong enough, and on the other hand, they also considered that the Li family’s foreign trade routes needed to go through Da Yuezhi, so building a good relationship with Da Yuezhi would kill two birds with one stone.

However, due to various reasons, the Li family went further and further sideways in the process of dealing with the Da Yueshi, and in the end they ended up on the road of confrontation with the imperial court.Now that such a incident has happened again, Li Zong believes that the elders in the family will definitely initiate impeachment against him after getting the news, and may even completely abandon himself in exchange for the court's forgiveness.
