Chapter 302
The backyard of Shi Mansion,

Li Cunzhi sat in front of Shi Jingtang's bed, looking at this pale man in plain clothes with an expressionless face.

At this moment, Shi Jingtang's breathing was weak and short, and he had a white towel on his head. He looked several years older.

Li Cunzhi pressed his fingers on Shi Jingtang's wrist and felt the weak pulse. Even though he didn't know medical skills, he could feel that Shi Jingtang was really weak.

"Take good care of your master." Li Cunzhi told him, stood up, brushed his sleeves, and walked out of the house.

It seems that Shi Jingtang was really hit by the pain of losing his son. Li Cunzhi also heard a lot of news after coming to Shi Mansion.

Shi Jingtang has only had three children in these years. Although he did not make any publicity about it, the servants of Shi Mansion were spreading rumors that their master had some health problems.

It was not difficult for Li Cunzhi to suspect that this was an issue related to a man's dignity. Now that his little daughter had slipped and fell into the water and died, it was also a major blow to Shi Jingtang.

After all, if the rumors were true, Shi Jingtang would only have three children in this life, and if one died, one would be missing. Even a daughter would be enough for him to feel sorry for.

After confirming Shi Jingtang's situation, Li Cunzhi began to handle Yunzhou's affairs on his own and to deploy defenses against the Mobei army.

Listening to the footsteps of leaving, Shi Jingtang's nails dug deeply into his palms, and a touch of red stained the white quilt on his body.

A trace of tears slipped from the corner of Shi Jingtang's eyes, and resentment filled his eyes. He hated his own incompetence, and even more hated Li Siyuan and his brothers and sisters.

"As expected of you, the big scene in the back garden yesterday was really breathtaking. They say a tiger can't eat its own food, but you didn't even spare your own daughter."

Hearing this charming voice, Shi Jingtang's heart was filled with despair. It was Li Cunren, a vicious woman.

Shi Jingtang turned his head and looked at the Eight Immortals Table in the room. Li Cunren was sitting there with his slender legs crossed, his toes swaying, his beautiful eyes full of surprise.

She came here last night and happened to see Shi Jingtang killing his own daughter.As for Shi Jingtang's weakness, of course it was thanks to Li Cunren. Except for poison, which can make people weak in a short time, the rest of the methods don't have such a quick effect.

"What else do you want from me? I have been deprived of control over Yunzhou and I can't help you with anything."

Shi Jingtang withdrew his gaze and stared blankly at the ceiling. He had given up resisting. This must be the tragedy of a little person.

"Who said Master Shi is useless? Master Shi can still help me." Li Cunren obviously had no intention of letting Shi Jingtang go. He sat there trimming his nails and said without raising his head.

A tear slipped from the corner of Shi Jingtang's eyes. He now understood what it meant to be involuntarily. "What else do you want to do?"

"Although Mobei has entered the customs, he has stopped. This does not meet our requirements. Doesn't Mr. Shi have something in Mobei and Meng Zhixiang's hands?

Then please ask Lord Shi to be a traitor and tell the people in Mobei about the dragon vein. "Li Cunren got up from his seat and came to Shi Jingtang's bed and said softly.

"Dragon...you mean the dragon vein is actually in the Jin Kingdom? The Tombs of the Ten Emperors of the Tang Dynasty?"

"I never said that this would trouble Master Shi. The antidote is on your pillow. I will come back."

As a gust of fragrant wind blew, Li Cunren's figure disappeared directly into the house. Shi Jingtang had no idea how the other party disappeared.

……

Yanmen, Qinling,
As the heavy stone door slowly opened, Li Siyuan led Li Cunli into the huge tomb and walked through the long corridor.

The two of them arrived at the last main tomb. Looking at the mahogany coffin placed on the top, Li Siyuan also sneered.

"My foster father, my foster father really didn't expect that it would be me, the most underappreciated Yuanshi, who finally got the position of King Jin."

Li Siyuan walked to the side of the coffin, stretched out his hand to touch the red coffin, and circled it several times.

Walking to the position facing the door, Li Siyuan grabbed the coffin lid with one hand, and instantly used his arm to lift the coffin lid.

A smell of corruption hit his face, and then Li Keyong, wearing the attire of the King of Jin, with a solemn face was revealed.

Li Siyuan leaned out and looked into the coffin. Looking at Li Keyong's slightly rotten and swollen body, he couldn't help but feel a little dazed. No matter how rich and powerful he was in life, he would be nothing more than a handful of loess after death.

Looking at the deformed corpse, Li Siyuan turned to look at his sixth brother Li Cunli who was standing beside him. The meaning in his eyes was that the corpse was so decomposed, could it still be used?
Li Cunli was also a little confused. Before princes were buried, they would undergo special "body bathing" treatments to prevent the corpses from decaying.

That's why Li Keyong's body can be kept for half a year without rotting into a pile of bones and rotten water on the ground.

As for whether it could be used, Li Cunli didn't know. Li Cunli waved his hand, and the Tongwenguan killer came in with several medical officers who specialized in handling it. Li Siyuan was not here specifically to chat with Li Keyong. He also wanted to ensure that the corpse could be used. If you use it, that corpse ancestor will be satisfied.

The people in the back row began to urgently dispose of Li Keyong's body to prevent him from further corruption, while Li Siyuan and Li Cunli came to the side to discuss other matters.

Li Siyuan put his hands behind his back, looked at the moon in the distance through the tomb door, and asked in a calm tone, "Has Tongwen Hall still not found Wen Tao's whereabouts?"

Li Cunli could only lower his head, as if he was ready to be beaten and scolded, "To tell you, brother, Tongwen Hall's branch offices in various places have been doing their best to search for Wen Tao's whereabouts."

"Sixth brother, you can't blame the eldest brother for being impatient, but we don't have much time left." Li Siyuan raised his hand and put it on Li Cunli's shoulder, saying with some comfort.

"Brother, I understand. I will personally find the Corpse Ancestor and bring her back to Taiyuan."

Li Siyuan nodded with great satisfaction, and Li Cunli went to do it in person. He was relieved, "Remember to treat each other with courtesy. After all, you can only ask others for this matter."

As the two communicated, the medical officers behind them were almost finished processing the body. Li Siyuan patted Li Cunli on the shoulder and signaled him to clean the tail and walk straight out.

Standing outside Qinling, hearing the screams coming from behind, Li Siyuan also found a moment of peace in his heart. The day was approaching when he would become a prisoner.

……

On the other side, the empress and Li Zhen didn't seem to care about the development of major world events. They were still traveling around and enjoying a moment of peace.

Even though neither of them said it explicitly, the empress also knew that this was the last calm before the storm. Now, the situation was turbulent and undercurrent could no longer be dragged on.

On the horse, the empress felt the warm embrace behind her. Their breaths were intertwined. The empress' thoughts gradually diverged. It would be great if she could be like this every day in the future.

A smile suddenly appeared on the corner of the empress's mouth, she looked up at the side face inside, raised her head and kissed the corner of his lips.

Seeing the love in Li Zhen's eyes, cheerful laughter came from the empress's mouth. It may be that the laughter infected Li Zhen.

The two of them laughed at the same time, their laughter intertwined in the wind, as if they were the only two people left in the world.

After playing around for a while, the empress put Li Zhen's arm in her arms, giving him a small reward, and then asked softly,

"That King of Wu sent all his daughters to the State of Qin. Do you need to go to the State of Wu during this trip to give him some reassurance?"

After hearing the empress's opinion, Li Zhen thought for a moment. Li Zhen had never really looked at the small place in Wu State, and Yang Pu was also a person who listened to advice.

If Yang Miaoyan hadn't tipped off his brother, he would have stayed safe and not have any other small thoughts.

It is estimated that the situation of Wu State, Wu Yue and Min State is similar now. They were all crippled by Chi Li and the Southern Han Dynasty.

"What do Yun'er think?" Li Zhen grabbed the empress's little hand and played with it gently in his palm.

Seeing Li Zhen start to play with her again, the empress rolled her eyes at him, but she still let him play with her fingers very tolerantly.

"Previously, Li Siyuan wanted to be the governor of the country, so he invited all the princes of the world to come to Luoyang to meet him.

Wu Yue and Min directly expressed their support for the idea of ​​setting off from these small countries.

Could it be that Brother Zhen really wants to turn against the five princes in the world at the same time? "

Li Zhen tightened his hand around the empress Liu's waist, rested his chin on the empress' shoulder, and comforted softly, "Yun'er has thought too much. Wu, Wu Yue, Fujian, and even the Southern Han Dynasty are all weak. These After people learned about our union.

He will definitely go to Luoyang on his own initiative, hand over his military power, and choose to end his life as an idle prince. "

Hearing Li Zhen's words, the empress suddenly frowned and couldn't help but turn to look at him, "Why does Brother Zhen never regard Mobei in the north as our enemy?

Although now Mobei is afraid of Qin and dare not attack Qin, so he can only change his route and enter the Central Plains from Jin.

The strength of Mobei's cavalry is also very powerful. Moreover, I heard in the early years that Mobei had already unified the northern border and became the most powerful tribe.Brother Zhen also chose to go to Nanzhao first to deal with this guy Chi Li. It seems that from beginning to end, Brother Zhen didn't take Mobei seriously. Why is this? "

The empress discovered a small flaw in Li Zhen's understanding of the general situation of the world, that is, Brother Zhen had already arranged countermeasures for all major events in the world, and it could be said that he had calculated them thoroughly.

Even Yuan Tiangang's decisive attack in the Longquan Underground Palace did not have any impact on Brother Zhen.

But Li Zhen has always been in a resigned situation towards Mobei, as if Li Zhen is not worried about what decision Mobei will make.

The feeling given to the empress is that Mobei is already in Li Zuo's pocket, and whether he can take it or not depends entirely on Li Zuo's attitude.

Looking at the empress's curious eyes, Li Zhen's heart rang with alarm, and his whole heart beat hard twice.

Li Zhen stroked the empress's long black hair, and an idea suddenly came to his mind. He said to the empress, "Have Yun'er ever heard of the Empress of Mobei?"

Hearing Li Zhen's words, the empress nodded subconsciously. She had really heard about that person's story.

After all, as the only two extraordinary women in the world, the Empress and the Empress of Mobei have always been the objects of comparison among the people.

One is to guard the country alone for 16 years and accomplish something that no man can do as a daughter.

The other one is more domineering. She did not hide her identity as a woman and directly relied on her own power to unify many tribes in the north.

Although the Queen of Heaven had the help of her former Majesty Yelu Abaoji when she unified the tribes, it can be seen from the circulating deeds that even without the previous Mobei Communist Leader.

This woman named Shuliduo can still complete the great cause of unifying Mobei, but it will be more laborious.

It was a pity that the leader of the Mobei Communist Party suddenly fell ill and was bedridden for a long time after establishing such a foundation.

Mobei, which was thought to be in a good situation, would face a future of disintegration, but did you ever expect that the diva would just appear out of thin air?

It is not like Wu Zhao who supervises the country and listens to the government behind the curtain, or waits for his children to grow up before returning the government affairs.

The queen directly stated that the world in Mobei has changed from now on, and she will be in charge from now on!
Although there is only one word difference between the two words "regency" and "regency", their meanings are completely opposite. As the name suggests, regency is to manage government affairs and handle political affairs on behalf of the monarch.

Being in power directly becomes a monarch, the meanings of the two are completely different.

Although they are both women, they have never met each other. They have only heard about each other's deeds, and there is a vague feeling of mutual sympathy between them as if they were rivals.

The empress paid a lot of attention to the queen of Mobei. They were the only two women who could reach the top at that time.

Although they have never seen each other before, they are still playing games from a distance. After all, women are also competitive among themselves.

The empress looked at Li Zhen with some suspicion and asked subconsciously, "How come the Queen of Mobei still has a relationship with Brother Zhen?"

Regarding the fact that the Queen of Heaven had been a hostage in the Qin State, those who knew about it were the heads of various tribes and a few people.

After Shuliduo came to power, he naturally wanted to completely erase his dark history.Of course, those who were aware of the incident were killed without mercy.

As for the remaining people who knew about it, apart from herself, the only ones left were Li Zhen and Yelu Abaoji.Later, Yelu Abaoji was also killed. Shuli Duo himself did not tell it, and Li Zhen did not publicize it, so no one knew this history.

"When the Queen of Heaven defied all opinions and ascended the throne as a woman, there was naturally a lot of opposition within Mobei.

In order to stabilize the throne she had just obtained, the queen killed all the opponents. It can even be said that the sky in Ulaanbaatar is bloody.

After she killed a lot of people, Mobei had problems running its operations and needed a lot of talents in urgent need.

However, the men in Mobei are only good at fighting and not suitable for running a country.Therefore, if she wants to govern the country, she must use the Han people who fled to Mobei.

So I helped her and sent a lot of talents to govern the country. Moreover, Mobei has a fatal flaw. Its governance method is the two systems of the north and the south.

That is to say, the integration of Han people and Mobei Khitan people is not perfect enough, and there are gaps..."

After hearing what Li Zhen said, the empress had no doubts. After all, when Mobei was unified, Li Zhen's Qin State was not very strong.

Regarding the powerful Mobei that suddenly popped up to the north of him, Li Zhen must have the deepest understanding of Mobei.

The empress also roughly understood why Li Zhen never cared about Mobei. Most of the ministers in Mobei were sent there by Li Zhen.

This also means that every move in Mobei cannot escape Li Zhen's eyes. Moreover, listening to this meaning, the two systems of the north and the south also means that the conflict between the Khitan and the Han is very fierce.

So now Mobei only looks very strong on the surface, but in fact there are undercurrents surging inside and there is great danger.

After knowing the inside story, the empress no longer asked about Mobei's affairs. Since Brother Zhen knew what was going on, that was enough.

She would just be a vase by his side. The empress held Li Zhen's hand and stared blankly at the endless Yellow River in front of her.

It is true that nature only possesses such uncanny craftsmanship, and can easily dig out such a large river channel.

The empress is also looking forward to the scenery of Mount Tai even more. The first trip to Henan Road that year was still in the hands of Zhu Wen and Wang Shifan.

The empress didn't stay too long, and now she should have a different feeling when she revisits her old place.
-
Shengzhou,

After Yelu Yaoguang stepped down from his heavy responsibilities, he also formally accepted Ling Xiaozi as his teacher. Ling Xiaozi may not be good at anything else, but he is really good at teaching disciples and practicing swordsmanship.

This can also be seen that Shuliduo sincerely wants to cultivate Yelu Yaoguang. A gentleman is like a sword, its shape is upright.

Practicing swordsmanship requires straightness and uprightness, and those who practice swordsmanship will also have an awe-inspiring righteousness. Therefore, emperors often wear swords to practice swordsmanship.

Shuliduo also had this idea of ​​letting Yelu Yaoguang learn swordsmanship, hoping that he would become a stable and restrained king in the future, and his edge would not be easily exposed.

So after becoming a disciple, Yelu Yaoguang also worked very hard. In fact, his talent was not bad. After all, Li Zhen's genes were there.

How could a child who inherited Li Zhen's blood be any different? However, compared to his sister, Yelu Yaoguang's understanding was not as high.

But in Ling Xiaozi's eyes, he is a piece of jade, a successor who can carry forward the Tianshan Sword Sect.

What's more, this person is still his apprentice, and may still be the king of Mobei in the future!Therefore, Ling Xiaozi was very attentive in teaching, telling everything he knew and explaining everything.

There was even a time when he had to hand over his sword control skills to Yelu Yaoguang. The internal skills Yelu Yaoguang practiced were from the same lineage as Shuli Duo, and they were both natural skills.

This internal skill is righteous and peaceful, regardless of cultivation base or qualifications. It is a process of slow and steady flow, with drops of water piercing the stone.

After Ling Xiaozi inspected Yelu Yaoguang's internal strength, he was amazed that Mobei's background actually had such a skill that ignored his cultivation qualifications.

Ling Xiaozi soon discovered the problem. Although this technique was good, it somewhat hindered Yelu Yaoguang's talent.

Helpless, Ling Xiaozi could only find Shuliduo again, who was about to return to Ulaanbaatar, and could only tell Shuliduo everything about Yelu Yaoguang's situation.

I hope that the Queen of Heaven can give him an internal skill that is suitable for his grown-up cultivation. As for not passing on his own skills, Ling Xiaozi gave an explanation.

His internal strength deviated from Yinhan and was not suitable for Yelu Yaoguang to practice. After all, he was the one who would inherit the throne in the future, so how could he practice Yinhan martial arts.

Shuliduo also pondered slightly after hearing this, and promised to give Yelu Yaoguang a suitable mental method in the future.

After Ling Xiaozi left, the little girl came out from behind and approached her mother, wanting to cuddle up with her.

Shuliduo also looked at the girl in his arms with a doting look on his face, gently stroking her hair.

"Don't you always just want to find your father? I agree."

"Really!" Yelu Zhiwu finally shone with excitement and looked at her mother happily.

Shuliduo rubbed her hair and nodded, "Go and tell that bastard that you shouldn't be too kind to others."
