Bad Man Li Tang Fengyun

Chapter 312 The calm before the storm
The Mobei soldiers who were guarding the city in brown leather armor at the city gate stood upright without any unnecessary movements, like sculptures.

Simple, capable and chilling, this was the first feeling that Mobei's army gave Li Xingyun. When Li Xingyun saw this army for the first time, he knew that Mobei's queen was no ordinary person.

Strict military discipline is something that is easy to say but difficult to do, and this Mobei Queen has accomplished something that many men cannot do by virtue of being a daughter.

Fortunately, Xiao Yi had to thoughtfully prepare some clothes for them to make them look like people from Mobei.

Even though they came from the hinterland of Mobei and wore the clothes of Mobei people, they did not escape the interrogation at the city gate.

When Li Xingyun and others saw this, they could only take out the waist tag given by Xiao Yi. The pupils of the soldiers guarding the city shrank suddenly when they saw the waist tag, and then they let them go without knowing what they were thinking. Go in.

After Li Xingyun and the others entered the city easily, they immediately felt the tense atmosphere in the city.

Everyone looked like they were in a hurry, the hawking sounds on the roadside were almost non-existent, and the people hurried towards their homes after finishing their business.

Li Xingyun and the other three found an inn by the way, settled the check-in problem first, and asked the waiter to bring refreshments and meals to the room. The three of them began to discuss in low voices.

"Xingyun, I see that Shengzhou City is heavily guarded and there may be big moves. Do you really want to care about Zhang Zifan's situation?" Shangguan Yunque said worriedly as he took Li Xingyun's arm.

"Besides, we have already obtained clues to the dragon's veins. Compared to this Zhang Zifan, I think the Qi and destiny of your Li family are more important."

Hearing Shangguan Yunque's words, Li Xingyun was a little shaken. Now the world can finally see a breath of life. If everything his second brother did becomes a joke because of the dragon vein, what should he do?

"I have made up my mind, so I'll trouble you two to find out about Zhang Zifan first. I'll go to the prison to find out the truth."

Li Xingyun and the other three acted separately, with Wen Tao and Shangguan Yunque going to look for Zhang Zifan, while Li Xingyun relied on his strong martial arts to quickly shuttle through the city.

He soon arrived at the heavily guarded prison. Li Xingyun lay on the eaves and observed for a while, calculating the gap between shifts, and then he jumped down from the eaves in a flash.

It was like a breeze rushing out in an instant, disappearing from the blind spot of the Mobei people's vision.

The two Mobei soldiers standing guard couldn't help but rub their shoulders. One of them looked at his companion beside him, "Did you feel something suddenly pass by just now?"

"You must be sick, what's the point of scaring yourself in broad daylight?"

After his colleague said this, the Mobei soldier could only scratch his hair helplessly and continue to guard the prison boringly.

As soon as Li Xingyun entered the cell, he smelled the pungent smell that hit his face. The stench and filthy smell were unbearable.

The dark cells were surrounded by thick walls, and each cell had only a wooden door and a narrow window.

A faint ray of light shines through the narrow window. The plaster walls are covered with mottled stains and bloodstains. The wet earth floor is uneven. There is a layer of unkempt thatch spread randomly in the corner. The air is filled with a pungent smell. the taste of.

Li Xingyun quickly searched one room after another, and found a figure suspended in the air in the innermost room.

Today, Qingguo's hair is disheveled, his already big face is covered with bruises, and it looks even more swollen. His nose is flat, his mouth is rotten, and he has no teeth. Pus and blood are slowly dripping from the corners of his mouth, and he exudes a sense of nausea. The fishy smell.

Seeing this scene, Li Xingyun was completely at a loss. If Zhang Zifan saw this scene, how could he not make a big fuss in Shengzhou.

……

Mobei, Ulaanbaatar

In the Yingtian Palace, Shuliduo leaned on the throne and listened to the civil and military officials below reporting on major events in various places. Shuliduo held his white cheek with one hand, as if he was falling asleep.

But no one below thought that she was really sleeping. Just when it was coming to an end, Shuliduo raised her eyes and thought it was finally over.

Just as she was about to say "down to court", Han Yanhui, the prime minister of Nanfu, walked out of the team. When the remaining officials saw that the big boss in the court had something to say, they fell silent in a few breaths.

Han Yanhui cupped his hands and bowed slightly, "I would like to report to the Queen of Heaven that I, Han Yanhui, have something to report."

"Accurate!" Shuliduo's cold voice spread throughout the Yingtian Palace. At the same time, her beautiful eyes glanced sideways at Han Yanhui below. She also wanted to know what kind of medicine he was selling in the gourd.

"According to the order, I heard that the Central Plains General Dragon Vein incident caused an uproar. Unknown to the Empress of Heaven, my original hometown was the hometown of An Lushan, the biggest rebel in the Anshi Rebellion.

At that time, An Lushan almost became an emperor, but he didn't take it seriously and thought it was nonsense.

Later, An Lushan ended up being emperor for only two years, and the person who killed him was a Khitan named Li. "

As Han Yanhui's words fell, the Yingtian Palace fell into silence.People in Mobei know better than anyone else about Anlu Mountain.

At that time, although An Lushan was anti-Tang Dynasty, he also had no good impression of the Mobei people and killed countless people in Mobei.

Many Mobei people also wanted to eat Anlu Mountain's flesh and sleep on its skin, and the reason for Anlu Mountain's sudden death was widely spread in Mobei.

After all, the person who killed him was a Mobei eunuch he had always trusted.

Shuliduo straightened up when she heard these things. Of course, the theory of dragon veins reached her ears, but after all, there is a lineage of shamans in Mobei, and Shuliduo is still more interested in this theory of ghosts and gods. of.

"I understand what you mean, so what do you want to say?" Shuliduo stared at Han Yanhui below, with an answer in his mind, hoping that the other party would tell him what he wanted to know.

Han Yanhui also took out a long and narrow wooden box from his arms, held it up with both hands, bowed and said loudly, "An Lushan did find out the news about the Dragon Vein by winning Xuanzong's trust back then.

The minister's father served as governor and had some connections with the Anlu Mountain lineage back then, so today he will reveal all the news about the Dragon Vein. "

Shuliduo looked at the purple wooden box held high below and hesitated slightly. After thinking for a moment, Shuliduo ordered the maid next to him to pull up the wooden box in Han Yanhui's hand.

Shuliduo raised his hand to open the lid of the purple wooden box and saw a piece of yellowed parchment quietly placed inside.

The smell of decay hit his face, and Shurido was able to confirm that the parchment was an old object in an instant.

Under Shuli Duo's eyes, the maid next to him opened the parchment in front of him, and there was a strange-shaped jade wall painted on the ancient parchment.

Shuliduo also narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at the jade wall on the parchment paper, and cast a doubtful look at Han Yanhui.

Seeing Shuliduo's confused look, Han Yanhui also communicated honestly. He only got this clue accidentally and didn't know what the things above were or where they were.

When Shuliduo thought of this, he wanted his daughter to do a divination, but suddenly he thought that his daughter hadn't come back yet?
Shuliduo sighed, temporarily relieved of this clue, and then issued an order to the civil and military officials to withdraw from the court.

Shuriduo didn't care what they thought, and left alone under their gazes and the greetings of the guards beside him.

In the harem, Shuliduo came to a house, opened the door, and walked in on his own.

The two sisters Li Miaowei and Li Yurui were in the house, and the poison of their younger sister, Princess Yaoying Li Miaowei, had been removed.

Except that his face was still a little pale, nothing major happened.

Seeing Shuliduo coming uninvited, Li Yurui also pulled his sister and bowed. People had to bow their heads under the eaves.

Shuliduo came to Li Miaowei, stretched out his fingers to pinch her smooth cheeks, lifted her chin, observed her for a while, then sat on the main seat and said to the two sisters.

"I came here today to inform you two of something. Today, the three levels outside Shanxi have been lost. You still have the opportunity to do things for me. You know very well what to do."

The two sisters looked at each other and saw the determination in each other's eyes. They both knew that they would not betray Jin, so they did not speak.

Looking at the stubborn two people, Shuliduo also raised his eyebrows slightly, raised his hand and knocked lightly on the table, "I don't have idle people here, and Li Jiji is very cooperative in order to survive.

When the traitor in Shengzhou is rescued by the adopted son of King Jin, then he will have an upright reason to send troops.

At that time, the two princesses will be of little use, and I can only let you go to Jiaofangsi for a while, or let you go now. "

When they heard the three words "Jiaofangsi", the two sisters trembled. For their daughter's family, this place was like a hell.Princess Yaoying was still very stubborn and would rather die than surrender and said, "The people of the People's Republic of China cannot die. Although we cannot choose the process, we can still choose to die."

"clap clap"

Shuliduo clapped his hands gently and said with some approval, "You have the guts, I like your idea very much, but the most terrifying thing is that life is worse than death. Don't think that it will be over once death is in vain.

I think it's better to let your sister explore the way for you first. After all, your sister still has some experience and knows how to serve a man.

If I let you, a fledgling, go, I'm afraid you won't even be able to survive the first night. "

"you dare!"

"Pa!" Shuliduo raised his hand and slapped her, leaving a red mark on her fair face, and a stream of blood flowed from the corner of Li Miaowei's mouth.

"Why don't I dare? Do you really think you are aloof princesses? In my eyes, there is no difference between you and official prostitutes."

The eldest princess of Qionghua, Li Yurui, pulled her sister behind her, looked at the Queen of Mobei in front of her, and said softly, "There is no point in humiliating two weak and homeless women. We have no choice, and the Queen has no choice." Why come here to humiliate me?"

"I need you and Meng Zhixiang to appear in front of the world as a harmonious couple again. This will be good for you and me." Shuliduo also made his request.

Li Yurui was not a fool. She thought that Shuliduo should ask Yao herself and Bao...Meng Zhixiang to appear in the territory that already belonged to Mobei to appease the people of Jin who had not yet surrendered.

Seeing that Li Yurui was still hesitant, Shuliduo patted his palms lightly, Shi Qixiang led someone in from the outside, and directly and roughly lifted Li Miaowei up.

Shuliduo's emotionless voice echoed in the room, "Send it to the Jiaofang Division. The first person to reward my brother Yaonan."

"It's the Queen." Shi Qixiang led others and pulled Li Miaowei out.

The image of younger brother Yaonan also instantly appeared in the minds of Li Miaowei and Li Yurui. Especially Li Miaowei, who was facing her own fate, her face instantly turned pale and her lips were trembling.

Li Yurui didn't care about the hesitation, stepped forward and grabbed Shuriduo's sleeve, and said quickly in a crying voice, "I just agree, and please let the queen let my sister go."

Shuriduo shook off Li Yurui's hand and walked outside without any pause. He said without looking back, "I'm looking forward to your performance and I believe you know how to do it, but you can't make a joke.

Shi Qixiang sent our Princess Yaoying to the Jiaofang Division and told them that performing arts does not sell one's body.First, let me get my reputation out there so that our Princess Qionghua can have some motivation. "

Yelv Zhiwu, who came to the Central Plains for the first time, had forgotten everything about Mobei. She took Li Zhen to appreciate the mountains and rivers of the Central Plains, and then reluctantly left.

The food from the Central Plains is mediocre and not as good as the chefs from the palace.

The little girl also pestered the empress along the way and asked her to teach her how to play the piano. After she learned it, she wanted to play the piano for her father.

Seeing Yelv Zhiwu's clumsy appearance, the empress was also amused and giggled. The empress used her slender fingers to demonstrate how to play the piano to Yelu Zhiwu.

Yelu Zhiwu is also a student of imitating cats and tigers, but he always only knows the shape and does not understand the meaning.

Along the way, the little girl also saw an opera performance in the Central Plains. Thinking of the dance of her own shamanic lineage, she was also somewhat interested in the facial makeup.

He also took the initiative to go to the theater troupe and ask questions, and the things he asked were all about his ability to keep things under control and make a living.

If he hadn't seen the gold thrown out by Li Zhen, the director of the troupe would have asked someone to beat it out for Yelu Zhiwu.

……

The little girl also participated in several Taoist temple fairs with Li Zhen, bought many beautiful masks, and showed them to Li Zhen one by one.

Shadow play, puppet show, story telling, lion dance and stilts, you can see Yelvzhi dance pulling the empress through them.

The empress looked at the cute little girl, cast an apologetic look at Li Zhen, and allowed her to take her to wander in this popular downtown.

The noise of the world seemed to disappear from Li Zhen's ears at this moment. In this silent world, there were only the smiles of the empress and Yelu Zhiwu.

The two people's black eyes reflected the colorful temple fair lanterns on the street, as if they had exhausted all the beauty of the world, making people involuntarily indulge in it.

The two of them were finally tired after playing around for a day. Li Zhen hooked up the empress's moist legs and hugged the empress to his chest.

The empress also hooked Li Zhen's neck with both hands, her pretty face was slightly rosy, and she pressed her forehead to Li Zhen's chest.

Behind Li Zhen, it was Yelu Zhiwu who was not willing to lag behind. She had quietly climbed onto Li Zhen's back and let her father carry her.

A family of three walked outside amid the laughter and laughter of the Lantern Festival and Temple Fair.By the time Li Zui brought the two of them back to the inn in Xinjie, the little girl's even breathing could be heard on his back.

The empress and Li Zhen glanced at each other and burst into laughter at the same time.

The empress reluctantly got down from Li Zhen's warm embrace, took the little girl from Li Zhen's back, and carried her into the room.

After arranging for her new subordinates to bring a basin of hot water, the empress twisted the towel soaked in water and gently wiped Yelu Zhiwu's dusty face.

The empress' movements were very skillful. After all, this set of procedures had been carried out on Ji Ruxue countless times.

This was also the case when Ji Ruxue was practicing martial arts with Brother Zhen when she was a child. Ji Ruxue was a very naughty girl and always looked like she refused to admit defeat. In the end, she tired herself to the point of exhaustion and was carried back by Li Zhen.

After wiping the little girl's body, she heard Yelv Zhiwu murmur, "Father and mother, please be well."

The empress also rubbed her hair with great satisfaction, turned around and walked out.

When they arrived at Li Zhen's room, he was pulled into a warm embrace before he could react.

The empress raised her head, looked at the familiar face in front of her, stood on tiptoes, and gently bit Li Zhen's thin lips.

Then the empress was picked up from the waist while standing, and fell heavily into Li Zhen's chest with a cry of surprise.The empress was carried by Li Zhen to the huge space underground of the inn. Looking at the steaming pool, the empress' eyebrows also curved.

The empress moved her neck forward, leaned into Li Zhen's ear, and exhaled softly, "Today, I want Xiao Lizi to serve me."

Accompanied by the empress's exclamation and a muffled "plop" sound, water splashed in all directions, and white steam filled the underground space.

……

In the hazy underground space, the bright moonlight shines through the dark window, forming a soft beam of light.

The empress was lying on the edge of the soup pool, her long hair moistened by water mist, gently sticking to her shoulders and back.The sound of dripping water was intertwined with the empress's gentle breathing.

Feeling the figure behind her, the empress quietly leaned into his arms.Then the empress suddenly stood up, just like she had mounted her horse and rushed to the battlefield.

Li Zhen was caught off guard and was pushed into the water by the empress, and then the empress also fell into the water.

After a long time, in the misty white steam, the empress with jade-like skin and unparalleled beauty came out of the water, her wet hair completely stuck to her body.

Looking at Li Zhen who was pushed under the water by herself, the empress' eyebrows twitched, as if she had discovered some shocking secret.

Feeling that she had grasped the key to defeating the enemy, the empress held her waist and looked at Li Zhen who had just emerged from the water and taunted him again,

"That's it? That's it?"

The green-white jade fingers traced Li Zhen's generous chest. The empress raised her eyebrows, pressed Li Zhen's chest, and pushed him back into the water.

In an instant, the waves surged, and a turbulent wave arose above the water.
