The Peerless Demon of Martial Arts

Chapter 484 Little Bamboo in the Heart of the Lake
The queen mother was a little confused: "What do you want so many old women for?"

No matter what, she was still willing to listen to Li Tianxing's words. Now that she was the empress dowager, those old women in the cold palace had to do whatever they were asked to do.In the open area of ​​the harem, those eunuchs had brought all the women in the cold palace, some of them were like lunatics, walking around and looking around, and their hair was scattered.

Too thick, as if smelling an unpleasant smell, the nose is wrinkled: "Look, everyone is here."

Li Tianxing looked at them one by one, they were all women, and none of them knew kung fu.Strange, what did Xue Fiend say, the suzerain is in the palace, or... the suzerain is a eunuch?

He asked the queen mother beside him: "How old is the oldest eunuch in the palace?"

"No more than 60 years old." The queen mother said: "Since Emperor Daxing left, the Ai family dismissed a group of older court ladies and eunuchs from the palace. Didn't you just say that the court ladies have something to do with eunuchs?"

Li Tianxing couldn't tell, so he just asked the eunuch next to him, "Have all the concubines and eunuchs come here?"

"I don't know what you want the eunuchs to do?" The father-in-law didn't understand what he meant: "All the concubines in the harem have come, except the toffee. The toffee is over 70 years old and doesn't live in the palace now. Middle. After Emperor Daxing passed away, the concubine went to live in Xiaozhu in the middle of the lake in the back mountain."

The queen mother wanted to laugh: "Li Tianxing, who are you looking for?"

"Take me to Xiaozhu in the middle of the lake to have a look."

The eunuch was very embarrassed: "My lady, Li Daxia, this...I'm afraid it won't work. The Taizu has a clear order, no one should disturb the empress dowager. 50 years ago, the empress dowager married far away to the Western Regions. Later, the two countries went to war. After so many years, the concubine returned to the country. Afterwards, the concubine suffered from severe headaches and could not see anyone. Because of this, she moved to Xiaozhu in the middle of the lake, which is more than ten miles away from the harem."

Li Tianxing didn't listen to this, and only asked him to lead the way. The queen mother was still standing aside, and the eunuch had nothing to do, so he could only obey.The people in the palace were responsible for preparing the Luanjia and horses for the Queen Mother and Li Tianxing.In the eyes of others, such an empress dowager doesn't look like a matriarch, she is extremely shameless.

In the small bamboo in the middle of the lake, an old man is playing the piano, and two maids are standing next to him, the incense burner is misty and misty.

A man in black robe came in from the outside, holding a pigeon in his hand, he just took a note from the pigeon's leg and handed it to the old man: "Master, there is news from the palace."

The old man wore a gray gauze face, opened the note, put it on the incense burner, and said, "Li Tianxing actually found this place, someone must have shown him the way, most likely it's the scoundrel Xuesha."

The man in black said nervously: "Master, if you let Li Tianxing know the secret here, it will be a waste of time. Xueshazi and Li Tianxing are incompatible, so it is impossible to tell him. We have been hiding here for so many years. Do we have to... "

"Enough, you go down first." The old man waved his hand: "Soldiers come to cover the water and earth, Li Tianxing's brain is not as smart as you think. Let the doormen go down first, Xiaozhu in the center of the lake, except for my personal maid Keep anyone. The suzerain in his eyes has always been a man, and he can't guess me."

Before noon, Li Tianxing and the Queen Mother arrived at Xiaozhu in the middle of the lake, and they came by boat.Even the queen mother doesn't have enough face to let the concubine come to see him. The concubine is his ancestor, so he can only kowtow to the concubine. No one knows this rule.

A court lady came and knelt down: "My servant pays homage to the empress dowager, I don't know what the empress dowager is talking about?"

"This..." The Empress Dowager looked at Li Tianxing, and she couldn't make up a reason: "I came to see the Concubine. For so many years, the Concubine lived here alone, so I couldn't rest assured, so I brought some small gifts here."

Seven or eight eunuchs brought up all the gifts and showed them to the palace ladies.After the maids went in to report, they came back to pick them up. Only the Queen Mother, Li Tianxing, and a few eunuchs and maids could go there.There is no majestic palace in Xiaozhu in the middle of the lake, but the lake is surrounded by blue waves on all sides, and there are several houses made of bamboo in the middle, which is very elegant and spiritual.

I saw a woman sitting in the gazebo in front of me. She was already very old, but she still covered her face with a veil.The queen mother looked a little disdainful, at this age, she still pretended to be human.

The maid stepped forward and stopped under the gazebo: "Report to the concubine, Empress Dowager Zhang Chen is here to visit."

"Let her come over," the concubine said.

When the Empress Dowager stepped forward, Li Tianxing naturally followed, and the maid immediately stopped Li Tianxing: "This strong man, the Empress Dowager only allows the Empress Dowager to enter alone, please stay outside the pavilion."

"He is a guest I invited." The queen mother said, and gave the maid a cold look: "When is it your turn to speak with a maidservant, why don't you leave with Aijia."

The concubine heard it all: "Forget it, since you're here, let's all come in."

"This is what makes sense." The Empress Dowager acted obediently when she got a bargain, walked into the gazebo, and saluted the Grand Concubine: "I have met the Empress Dowager, please be safe."

Concubine Toffee smiled softly: "Good boy, get up. My place is deserted and deserted, and I'm used to being alone. How did you find me here? Do you have something to do with me?"

In this woman, Li Tianxing couldn't feel the slightest aura of martial arts, but he also vaguely felt that this woman was not simple. When he felt the inside, he seemed to be blocked by an invisible wall, but he couldn't see through this old woman.

Before the Queen Mother could speak, Li Tianxing spoke first: "We are investigating a very scary person. It is said that this person is among the royal relatives, so we have to investigate one by one."

"Presumptuous!" The court lady in the pavilion shouted: "Do you know what kind of status a concubine is, so you can insult me ​​here."

"I'm just telling the truth."

The Empress Dowager didn't feel embarrassed, but liked Li Tianxing's masculinity very much: "Ms. Taifei, we just came to see you. The Ai family is worried that if someone comes to assassinate the princess, the Ai family will bear the crime of not protecting the concubine well." .”

The concubine said, "It's nothing. I haven't chatted with anyone outside for a long time. Why did you bring this young man here today? Is he your bodyguard?"

Li Tianxing took two steps forward, and the maids on the left and right stepped forward to stop him: "Bold, step back!"

"Hmph." Li Tianxing hummed softly: "Taifei, do you know martial arts?"

The concubine nodded: "When I was young, I learned a little bit about horseback riding and archery. It was taught to me by Emperor Gaozu. I don't know if you mean this?"

"I'm talking about... internal strength, such as the man in black robe."

The empress dowager was even more clueless about this ridiculous topic: "Young man, what are you talking about? Internal strength? A man in a black robe? What is that, I don't understand what you mean by this."

Li Tianxing stepped on the steps in front of him, only about two meters away from the concubine: "Concubine, I think you are a person with unfathomable inner strength."
