Bad Man Li Tang Fengyun

Chapter 252
Soothing and melodious music sounded in people's ears, floating gently in the wide and deep Jiyue Palace.

There were five groups of handsome men and women holding wine bottles, chatting with each other, smiling like flowers, and cheering.

This is the banquet You Chuan attended for the first time after his comeback, to entertain the heirs of the Miaojiang Hezhai.

Firstly, Chi Li wanted to use Youchuan to calm the people's hearts. Secondly, it was to test whether these people were dissatisfied and rebellious.

Since Chi Li was not married, You Chuan, as his only adopted son and now the "Crown Prince", can be said to have a high position of power.

After You Chuan "recovered from his injury" and returned, the young heirs of each village sent their best wishes.

Then they began to inquire for news.They were also very curious about how You Chuan was injured, whether he had performed a difficult task, or for other reasons.

After all, when there are too many people, there will always be situations that are difficult to manage. The heirs of each village have sharp minds. After all, it is not important just who you see, but it is important who does not show up for a long time.

Take You Chuan's current situation for example. Since he was "injured", Chi Li has paid much less attention to You Chuan, which also made everyone aware of the difference.

They tried to find out about Chi Li's movements from You Chuan. What on earth did they want to do?
Now, they have been here for several months. Apart from eating, drinking and enjoying themselves, they have not done anything meaningful today.

As Chi Li had originally told, neither the revitalization of the Miao territory nor the counterattack on the Central Plains appeared, and even the promise of dividing the territory and allowing the villages to move to Nanzhao and set up camp was not fulfilled.

As more and more people gathered around You Chuan, their conversation changed from focusing on You Chuan's body to their expectations for Nanzhao's future.

In their view, the current Nanzhao is theirs. Sooner or later, the Miao people will leave the Shiwan Mountain and come to a broader world.

Chi Li's desire and blueprint were like opening a layer of shackles in the hearts of the people in Miao territory, thus letting out the beasts of desire imprisoned inside.

Nowadays, they, the Miao people, are like wild horses running wild, walking out of control on the road to desire, and there is no turning back.

You Chuan looked at the young heroes around him, looked at the madness in their eyes, and knew that he had no chance of convincing them.

Today, they and their adoptive father Chi Li are all grasshoppers on the same rope, sharing weal and woe. As long as Chi Li does not fall, it is still possible to realize what he promised.

Now everyone in Miaojiang is like a red-eyed gambler. They have bet all their chips on Chi Li, and naturally they will not allow anyone to ruin this amazing gamble.

After seeing the faces of these people clearly and thinking about the ins and outs of the matter, You Chuan no longer had any illusions about the banquet tonight.

You Chuan showed little interest in subsequent topics and social interactions, and hastily ended tonight's banquet and appearance.

You Chuan came to the railing outside the palace alone, leaned on it, and looked at the bright moon in the sky, but his thoughts had long gone to the horizon.

Now he fell into self-doubt again because he saw the eyes of the Miao people who were fascinated by the desire for power.

He began to think about whether his behavior was a betrayal of his adoptive father and whether it was a betrayal of Miao Jiang.

He didn't let him think alone for too long, someone held his shoulder. You Chuan turned his head and looked at the army in shock. His thoughts just now made him lose his mind, and he didn't even know when the other party came to him.

At this time, a familiar voice came to You Chuan's ears, "Chuan'er, as a father, I am very happy to see you come out of the haze."

You Chuan turned his head and saw the familiar face next to him. He opened his mouth and tried hard to squeeze something out of his mouth, but in the end nothing came out.

After all, once the seeds of doubt are planted, it is like a broken mirror that is difficult to mend again, and the relationship between the two will never be the same as before.

Chi Li saw the confusion and distrust in You Chuan's eyes, and understood that he and his adopted son were strangers to each other after all.

What a pity, purple texture began to spread under the palm of You Chuan's shoulder. When You Chuan noticed something was wrong, it was too late. He raised his head and met Chi Li's strange purple eyes.

Weird patterns appeared in Chi Li's eyes, and You Chuan was in a daze for a moment when he looked at him. Purple patterns also took advantage of this moment and quickly spread to his body.

"My son Youchuan, show your value to your adoptive father for the last time."

……

On the shore of Xierhai, after everyone gathered briefly, the person in charge here temporarily handed over the fresh ginseng to Li Zhen.

At this moment, several people were sitting around the wooden table. Li Zhen listened to the process of their entry into Nanzhao and slowly peeled off the cocoons.

Ji Ruxue did not tell Li Zhen about Xiao Xiao's kidnapping before, but now, Li Zhen did not show any shock or panic after learning the news.

Li Zhen just sat silently, listening to them tell the story of one thing after another.

After learning that Ji Ruxue had found him a young wife, that is, after Ji Ruxue reached an agreement with Twelve Cave to marry Qianwu to Qin as a saint, Li Zhen completely broke his guard.

At the same time, Jiangchen who followed him also broke through the defense. For some reason, Jiangchen suddenly felt that there was something green on top of his head.

Oh, no, she doesn’t have a status yet, so that’s okay.

After Jiangchen comforted himself, he sat on the stool and became depressed. His fingertips were twirling his crimson hair, and he was pulling the end of his hair angrily.

After hearing their experiences, Li Zhen decided to go to the Nanzhao Palace tonight to see Ji Ruxue and look for traces of Chi Li.

Originally, Jiang Chen wanted to propose that he go with Li Zhen, but when she saw the two little vixens who were eager to try, she gave up the idea.

Like a salted fish who has lost his dream, Jiangchen waved his hands, stood up, opened a door, entered a room, fell asleep, and lay on the bed trying to suffocate himself.

……

Outside the window, the moonlight is everywhere, the birch trees are dancing, and the night wind blows gently, making the bamboos in the courtyard sway with the wind.

Located in the palace where Princess Qianwu is, Ji Ruxue did not choose to look for Youchuan at night.

After getting news from the serving maid, You Chuan hosted a banquet for all the young heirs of each village today, and finally met with the great national master Chi Li.

Ji Ruxue is not sure whether You Chuan will choose to inform, but she will think about this issue with the most sinister human nature.

So she chose to lurk for a few days. If there was no big move in Yangjumei City, she would meet Youchuan again.

As night fell, Ji Ruxue and Qianwu hid for a day again. Such frightened days made both of them feel a little dazed.

But as night fell, the maid outside did not extinguish the candles in the stone lamppost as usual.

This sudden accident made Ji Ruxue and Qianwu instantly nervous. The two could only use some jewelry hairpins as weapons, and they were always ready to break out of the siege.

As the princess's chambermaid, Ji Ruxue could only bite the bullet and open the door to check the situation outside. It was abnormal for the people inside the house not to take any action.

Ji Ruxue slowly opened the door, opened it a crack, and looked out.

When she saw the man in black uniform in the courtyard, Ji Ruxue was stunned for a moment. With just one glance, she recognized the figure as Li Zhen.

Ji Ruxue only felt that her nose was a little sore and her eyes were slightly moist. It seemed that the grievances she had felt for so many days suddenly had a window to vent.

Ji Ruxue did not doubt that the person in front of her was a fake. With many years of getting along with her and a woman's intuition, she was very sure that the person in front of her was the real Li Zhen.

Then, Ji Ruxue pushed open the door, ran towards Li Zui in the courtyard with big strides, and then swooped into Li Zui's arms.

Ji Ruxue hugged Li Zhen's back with both hands, buried her head in Li Zhen's chest, and started sobbing slightly.

She was really tired during this period. She had to face pursuit and escape, and she also needed to conceal the news of Li Zhen's disappearance from them. It can be said that she shouldered all the burdens with her weak shoulders.

Li Zhen was a little stunned when he saw Ji Ruxue lying in his arms. This was the first time that the little girl took the initiative to run into his arms.

Feeling the moisture on her chest, Li Zhen also knew that it might be that she and the empress were putting too much pressure on her.Li Zuo gently stroked Ji Ruxue's hair, held her in his arms with his other hand, patted her back gently, and whispered in her ear,

"Girl, it's okay, I'm here."

Hearing Li Zhen's voice, Ji Ruxue finally felt relieved, lay in Li Zhen's arms, and breathed evenly after a while.

Li Zui picked up Ji Ruxue's legs and held her in his arms. He looked into the palace and met Qianwu in a fiery red robe.

After Ji Ruxue's narration and her performance these days, Qianwu instantly concluded that the person in front of him was the King of Qin whom he would marry in the future.

Qianwu bowed slightly and performed a standard court etiquette towards Li Zhen.It's not like she's done nothing these days. At least she's learned a lot about etiquette.

Li Zuo smiled at Qianwu, followed her into the palace, placed Ji Ruxue smoothly on the bed, and the two closed the door of Nuan Pavilion and came to the main hall where the two of them mainly performed their activities.

After Qian Wu and Li Zu took their seats respectively, they began to look at each other. In fact, this was not the first time they met.

When Qianwu was a child, she had only briefly met Li Zhen, because in her impression, Li Zhen was already quite old.

In order to tease her, Ji Ruxue did not tell him Li Zhen's facial features, so Qianwu always thought that the Li Zhen he was going to marry was an old man who was middle-aged and had a vicissitudes of life.

But now it seems that he is not much different from the appearance he saw when he was a child. He is still so young, making the two of them look like a pair of the same age.

With that handsome face, Qianwu also dispelled some of the resistance in his heart.

As the two gradually chatted, they gradually became familiar with each other. After all, they had seen each other since childhood and were not unfamiliar with each other.

About half an hour later, Ji Ruxue, with messy and lazy hair, hurried out of the room. After seeing Li Zhen sitting in the seat, she breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, it was not a dream.

Seeing the panic in Ji Ruxue's eyes, Li Zhen raised his hand to rub her hair, but Ji Ruxue, who was obviously awake, subconsciously chose to dodge and turned her head to avoid Li Zhen's palm.

This made Li Zhen think of Yelv Zhiwu in Mobei. Sure enough, the little girl was much more considerate than Ji Ruxue. Ji Ruxue was still too stubborn.

Ji Ruxue, who had regained her senses, began to ask about Li Zhen's plan. After following him for so long, Ji Ruxue knew very well that since Li Zhen was here, he must not just be here for a look.

After learning from Li Zhen that he was going to find Chi Li, Ji Ruxue showed an expression like "I knew it was like this."

Because Ji Ruxue understood the layout of the palace, she became the one leading the way. As for Qianwu, she could only continue to be the canary in captivity.

With Li Zhen's presence, the phantom body barrier that had not been used for many years was directly used to surround the two of them, saving Ye Xingyi the trouble.

After the two had some time alone, Ji Ruxue turned to look at Li Zhen's profile and asked where he had been in the past six months.

Li Zhen also came one by one. He and Ji Ruxue had nothing to hide. He was indeed doing business in Japan.

Listening to the weird shikigami and various onmyojis, Ji Ruxue's interest was also aroused, and a bright light appeared in her eyes.

Before she could continue asking, the two of them arrived at the Bronze Horse Hall. At this time, the Bronze Horse Hall was already empty.

Ji Ruxue looked at this scene with some suspicion. According to the information she received, although You Chuan was recuperating here, this place was directly awarded to You Chuan by Chi Li.

This means that Youchuan will definitely come back to live here at night, but now it is pitch black, with no signs of human habitation.

Looking at this weird scene, Ji Ruxue had an unpleasant feeling in her heart for no reason, as if things were out of her control!
Li Zhen also heard what Ji Ruxue said about his persuasion to You Chuan, combined with the information he got from Xian Shen and Chi Meng on the West Erhai Lake.

Li Zhen also felt that You Chuan would react like in the original work and become a wedge for them to break into Chi Li's side.

Seeing You Chuan's disappearance now, Li Zhen also had some doubts. Could it be that Chi Li really wanted to risk collapse and execute You Chuan, unless he lost his mind.

Um, probably not?Li Zhen was also a little unsure whether Chi Li would suddenly go crazy. Maybe his arrival stimulated him and made him completely crazy.

After discovering that there was no one here, Ji Ruxue did not stay too long and began to take Li Zhen to search for Chili's palace.

All of this happened because of Chi Li. As long as he can be found tonight, all problems will be solved.

Ji Ruxue did not even consider whether Chi Li could survive. She did not believe that Li Zu would lose. Even Yuan Tiangang, who had lived for 300 years, did not leave Li Zu in Longquan, let alone Chi Li.

Chaohui Palace, as the center and heart of Nanzhao today, all orders are issued from here, including the connection between the invasion of the Central Plains and the Southern Han Dynasty, etc.

If there is a place where Chi Li might be, then this is the first place.The two of them quickly passed over the eaves and rushed towards Chaohui Palace.

Ji Ruxue also gradually discovered that today was unusual. The strict guards and close patrols in the past seemed to have become very lax today, as if they were waiting for them on purpose.

As the two of them moved forward, the tense atmosphere became more solemn. Ji Ruxue took the short blade handed over by Li Zhen and pressed it on her cuff, acting as a sleeve knife for the deadly poisonous snake.

When the two of them approached, they found that the lights next to Chaohui Hall were brightly lit, and they were surrounded by guards holding swords.

Li Zuo took Ji Ruxue's wrist, tapped the ground with his toes, rose into the air, and quickly jumped up to the eaves carved with golden dragons.

Under Li Zhen's cover, he quickly threw away all the guards, and then seized the opportunity to come to the side hall.

Asking Ji Ruxue to wait on the eaves, Li Zhen jumped down from the eaves like a roc spreading its wings. He came to the side of a palace maid in a few steps. He moved his hands and changed her mind very rudely.

After Li Zhen finished everything, he waved to Ji Ruxue, indicating that she could come down from the eaves.

After Ji Ruxue came to Li Zhen's side, the two walked towards the window.Under the protection of Li Zhen's illusory body barrier and magic, the two of them quickly saw clearly who was in charge in the hall.

What neither of them expected was that the person sitting in the Zhaohui Hall handling government affairs was the Young Priest Officer You Chuan.

This scene directly exceeded Li Zhen and Ji Ruxue's expectations, because according to the information they received, You Chuan and Chi Li were on the verge of breaking up.

Why would Chi Li leave such an important matter to You Chuan?Isn't this equivalent to giving others a handle and seeking their own death?

When Ji Ruxue was about to enter Chaohui Palace and get in touch with You Chuan, she was grabbed by Li Zu's arm.

Ji Ruxue turned her head and cast a questioning look at Li Zhen, and then she saw Li Zhen put his finger in front of his mouth, making a silent gesture.

Then, under Ji Ruxue's gaze, she raised her hand and drew a talisman, covering the entire square inch of space around the two of them.

After seeing a blue light film covering the two of them, Ji Ruxue asked softly, "What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"

"There's something wrong with that Youchuan."

Hearing Li Zhen's answer, Ji Ruxue raised her eyebrows, looked at You Chuan in the palace again, and began to observe his every move.

After Li Zhen's reminder, Ji Ruxue saw something was wrong with You Chuan. His expression was a bit rigid and his movements lacked agility.

At this time, Youchuan gave Ji Ruxue the feeling that he was a puppet being manipulated. Ji Ruxue looked at Li Zhen and waited for his explanation.

"I guess our young priest is controlled by someone again." Li Zuo rubbed his chin and gave a guessed answer.

"It's Chi Li!" Ji Ruxue reacted instantly, and then thought a lot. If You Chuan exposed the two of them, they would be in danger.

"I guess Chi Li has disappeared into the palace now, and he is hiding again. It seems that he plans to use You Chuan as his spy in the outside world to entangle us."

Hearing Li Zhen's words, Ji Ruxue couldn't help but curse. Such people are really rare, "What a bastard."
