Indeed, if she is kept tied up, the servants will definitely not be able to spare her when they come over tomorrow. Li Xingshan nodded and said, "You can let her go, but don't think of doing any tricks for me."

"What tricks can I use," Keqing said bitterly, "Anyway, I can't beat him now."

Li Xingshan then loosened the rope around Keqing's body. She did not break her promise, but said coldly: "Go away quickly, I...I don't want to see you again!"

"I don't mind seeing more of this little beauty like you," Li Xingshan patted the photos in his hand and said with a smile, "If I miss you in the future, I can look at these photos to reminisce."

Keqing had never encountered such a scoundrel before, and she was naturally so angry that she was shaking all over. Just when she was about to have a fit, there was a sudden sound of panic outside the door, and then someone shouted: "No... ....It's not good! The emperor...the emperor has passed away!"

Li Xingshan raised his eyebrows and said, "Big death? What does that mean?"

But Keqing's eyes widened at this time and she murmured: "How is it possible that the great corpse...the Emperor Yanwang...is dead?"

The two looked at each other. At that moment, the personal grudge between the two children was so insignificant. Ke Qing hurriedly wanted to go out, but almost fell. She was supported by Li Xingshan and they pushed the door open together.

In the distant night sky, a giant golden beast that was half lin and half dragon fell from the sky like a meteorite. The dazzling golden light illuminated the night like day.

Chapter 1043 Gods and Thieves

At this time, the Ke family mansion was already in chaos. People left the room, raised their heads, and looked at the strange scene that no one had seen for thousands of years. There was no one at all, paying attention to Li Xingshan and Li Xingshan. Keqing, these two children.

"How...how could this happen?" Ke Qing turned her head subconsciously, only to see that Li Xingshan had disappeared, and her heart felt even more empty.

This strange scene lasted less than a minute before the golden beast landed on the ground with a loud rumble.

It was as if everyone had woken up from a big dream. There was no doubt that the golden giant beast was the true form of the Rock King who came to the world during the annual Seven Stars Invitation Ceremony.

Now that the emperor has fallen, it is naturally self-evident what it means.

"Qing'er, why are you here?"

At this moment, a majestic voice suddenly came from behind Ke Qing: "Go back to the room quickly."

The speaker was a middle-aged man with a majestic appearance, who was the head of the Ke family. Ke Qing murmured: "Dad, what happened to...?"

"I don't know either. I'm going to check out the situation now," Keqing's father sighed and said thoughtfully, "This time, Liyue... I'm afraid things are going to change."

As for Li Xingshan, he did take advantage of the chaos to escape, but he did not choose to return to the treasure stealing group, but ran in the direction of the fall of Emperor Yan Wang.

Although he is still young, he has been hanging out in Liyue Port since he was a child. Naturally, he is very familiar with the streets and alleys here. He can estimate at a glance where the golden giant beast will fall.

After all, it was late at night at this time, and not many people discovered the emperor's fall. By chance, Li Xingshan was the one who found the magic transformation of the Rock King.

In a secluded mountain forest, a dying giant beast was seen crawling on the ground. The golden light on its body gradually became weaker and weaker with every breath.

Li Xingshan swallowed and slowly walked forward. It seemed that there was an invisible force that made him reach out his hand and gently press the horn of the giant beast's head, saying: "You...you still Okay?"

However, as soon as he finished speaking, he immediately felt like the world was spinning, and his soul seemed to be torn apart. When he opened his eyes again, he saw that he was in a black void.

"Who are you?" A weak voice came from in front of him, and he saw a tall black-haired woman looking at him. She was beautiful, but she looked quite weak, but she still revealed her hidden secrets. A powerful look, especially a pair of vertical pupils, is even more frightening to watch.

"My name is Li Yunlong, and I am... from the Treasure Thieves Group..." As if possessed by some kind of magic power, Li Xingshan, who had always been very good at hiding his identity, was suddenly confused. He told the woman in front of him everything.

"I didn't expect that the last person I saw before leaving was actually a thief?" The woman smiled bitterly and said, "Unfortunately, there is nothing worth stealing in this body."

"Are you...are you the Emperor?" Li Xingshan said quickly: "I...I'm not here to steal anything! I...I want to save you!"

"Oh?" Emperor Yanwang said calmly: "Aren't you a thief? Why did you save me?"

"I am indeed a thief, but I also know that the more prosperous Liyue Port is, the more things we can steal," Li Xingshan answered truthfully: "If you were gone, Liyue Port would definitely be in depression. Then we won’t be able to steal anything.”

Emperor Yan Wang was slightly stunned, as if he did not expect such a statement, and then smiled and said: "You are much more honest than many people, but Liyue, after all, I have to leave it to you..."

At this point, her body began to gradually weaken, and Li Xingshan quickly said: "Can't we save you?"

"I'm not injured, just too much wear and tear, and my life is approaching," Emperor Yan Wang said calmly: "However, I'm afraid that meeting you is a fate of freedom. Anyway, I will give you a gift. I hope you, Can help Liyue tide over the difficulties..."

Before he finished speaking, the figure of Emperor Yan Wang had completely disappeared. Li Xingshan stretched out his hands, but he only grasped the empty space. When he woke up, he had returned to reality, leaving only a dim body. The body lay silently in front of him.

Emperor Yanwang is dead.

Li Xingshan subconsciously opened his palms and saw an object like a chess piece placed in his palms. Only then did he realize that everything just now was not just an illusion.

Just when he was still in shock, there was a sudden rush of footsteps behind him.

"Your Majesty, the Emperor must have died here!"

"If the emperor is really dying, he must protect the Immortal Ancestor Fashen!"

"Wait, why does it look like someone has been here?"

Li Xingshan was startled when he saw many shadowy figures flashing behind the woods. He had no time to think about it, so he could only hold the "chess piece" in his hand and run away immediately.

There was just a "pop" sound, but a badge suddenly slipped from the corner of his clothes and fell to the ground. It was the "crow mark" used by the treasure thief group to prove their identity. Just as he was about to turn around to get it, he only heard a "whoosh" sound, and an arrow had already shot through the air, slicing Li Xingshan's calf. He only heard a loud shout from the distance: "Someone is over there." !Don’t let him go!”

Seeing several more arrows coming in front of him, Li Xingshan didn't even bother to pick up the crow mark anymore, so he had to turn around and run without his life.

He originally wanted to sneak back to the treasure-stealing group, but then he thought that if he sneaked back now, he would be putting himself in a target, so he simply took the risk and sneaked back to the Ke family mansion.

On normal days, a thief like Li Xingshan would not be able to enter this heavily guarded mansion, but because of the emperor's fall, Keqing's father took many people out, and the situation was already quite chaotic. , Li Xingshan sneaked in easily and returned to Keqing's room.

The little girl was still secretly angry because Li Xingshan didn't tell her, but she didn't expect that he slipped back again. She couldn't help but said in surprise and anger: "You... didn't you run away? Why are you back again?" ?”

"Who said I ran away? I have the handle, what's there to be afraid of?" Li Xingshan pretended that nothing happened, sat directly on the chair, and said, "I just went to see the excitement."

"This... this is not a lot of fun..." Ke Qing clenched her fists and said seriously: "Do you think Emperor Yan Wang... will really die? "

Chapter 1044 The boy in my daughter’s room

Li Xingshan couldn't help but think of what happened just now. He touched the chess piece in his arms and said calmly: "Everything in the world, even gods, has no eternity. It is normal to die..."

Speaking of this, perhaps wanting to comfort Keqing, he said casually: "Why, I thought you were the type of person who doesn't believe in gods."

Although the people of Liyue Port respect Emperor Yanwang very much, there are also some people who do not hate the gods, but simply believe that gods and immortals should not interfere too much in the human world.

"I..." Ke Qing was speechless for a moment, but said helplessly: "Sure enough, the treasure stealing group is the treasure stealing group. Even if you see the Rock King Emperor in danger, your first thought will definitely be how many Seek some benefits."

Li Xingshan's expression changed, but his tone was as usual, and he said, "Yes, you think Emperor Yan Wang's Immortal Ancestor Slaughter, maybe it can be sold for a good price, right?"

"You! You are really hopeless!" Keqing stamped her feet and shouted angrily: "Do you have to be a thief?"

"That's right, I not only want to be a thief, but I will also become a cadre of the treasure stealing group in the future." Li Xingshan deliberately made her angry: "As for you, just be your eldest lady and we will never do anything wrong. Isn't that good? ?”

"Just wait and see," Keqing said with her arms crossed: "Sooner or later, I will personally get rid of the treasure thief group and see if you still think of yourself as a thief!"

Li Xingshan naturally did not expect that his words would change the trajectory of Ke Qing's life in this world.

At this moment, the two of them suddenly heard heavy footsteps coming from outside the door. Keqing was startled and said quickly: "Oh no, it's daddy. You...kneel down quickly!"

However, before she could finish her words, she saw that Li Xingshan was already kneeling on the spot, looking completely lost.

Sure enough, the door opened, and the person who walked in was Keqing's father. He looked gloomy and said, "It's so late, why are you still keeping the lights on and not sleeping?"

"There was such a commotion in the courtyard just now that I couldn't sleep anymore," Ke Qing said with an aggrieved look on her face, "Dad, what happened? Is it true that the Emperor..."

"Don't ask about this yet," Keqing's father shook his head, then saw Li Xingshan kneeling aside, frowned slightly and said, "Who are you? Why are you in my daughter's room?"

Fortunately, Li Xingshan and Ke Qing were still children around ten years old at this time. If they were older, Li Xingshan might have had his leg broken by Ke Qing's father before he could explain.

"Yes...it's like this," Ke Qing explained quickly: "I sneaked out to play on the street today, and was deceived by the little thief from the treasure stealing group into taking my shoes away, so I asked Chunxiang to help I found him and taught him a lesson."

Chunxiang was the maid who brought Li Xingshan here before. Although she said it lightly, it was obvious how many connections were involved.

Ke Qing's father was also an old man. Looking at the scars on Li Xingshan's face, he immediately understood the whole story and said coldly: "What a nonsense. It's obviously because I don't have enough experience to bring this boy to my boudoir." What kind of behavior do you have here...wait, you said, you are a member of the treasure stealing group?"

Li Xingshan felt nervous and subconsciously covered the scars on his trousers, pretending to be timid and said, "Yes...yes."

Ke Qing's father pondered for a moment, then took out a crow seal from his pocket, handed it to Li Xingshan, and asked, "Do you recognize this thing?"

Sure enough, is this the beginning of the search for clues?

It seems that he was the one who just led people to explore the whereabouts of Emperor Yanwang.

Li Xingshan nodded and said: "This is the crow mark of our treasure stealing group. It is not a cherished thing. I have several of them. Sometimes I don't know where I accidentally throw them."

He said this not only to clear himself from suspicion, but also to put aside the relationship between the treasure thief group and the emperor's death.

Only Li Xingshan knew the real cause of Emperor Yan Wang’s death, but who would believe the words of a treasure-thief?

"How many?" Keqing's father narrowed his eyes and said, "Take out your crow mark and show it to me."

When Li Xingshan heard this, he immediately became a little nervous. If he couldn't get it out, the other party would definitely be more suspicious. If the wounds on his body were found, he would be dead.

At this critical moment, Ke Qing suddenly said: "I sent someone to pick him out in the middle of the night. How could he bring so many messy things with him?"

Only then did Keqing's father nodded, smiled self-deprecatingly, and murmured: "How can this matter have anything to do with a child... Boy, just find a room and deal with it for one night. Let’s leave as soon as possible tomorrow morning.”

"How can that be done?" Keqing said reluctantly, "I found him!"

"Don't you think you are embarrassed enough?" Keqing's father said sternly: "You have actually done such a disqualifying thing. I will punish you with a three-month grounding and you are not allowed to go out."

"But......"

"Nothing!" Keqing's father said coldly: "During this period, you are not allowed to leave the house even half a step!"

After that, he left the room with a stern expression. Li Xingshan and Ke Qing looked at each other, but they didn't know what to say for a moment.

Only one thing is certain - a storm is coming soon.

The people of Liyue also ask for their condolences and obedience]

[As for the specific cause of the emperor's death, neither Liyue Qixing nor Yuehai Pavilion are silent about it. The people naturally have different opinions on this.

[After all, Emperor Yan Wang died near Liyue Port. Among the three-eyed and five-display real people, some people also suspect that the emperor died because of being stabbed]

[There have always been some conflicts between the humans in Liyue and the immortals. While the Emperor Yan Wang was still alive, he could still mediate, but the death of the Emperor undoubtedly intensified the conflicts between the two parties again]

[Among them, Liuyun Jiefeng Zhenjun, who has the best friendship with Emperor Yanwang, even threatened that if humans cannot find the murderer, she would not mind taking action herself]

[Faced with the pressure exerted by the immortals, Keqing’s father did not continue to remain silent. During the meeting with Liyue Qixing to decide, he finally took out the stolen one found near the immortal ancestor Fashu. Baotuan’s Crow Seal]

[Actually, a crow seal alone cannot prove the relationship between the emperor's death and the treasure stealing group. However, whether it is facing the doubts and resentments of the people of Liyue or the pressure from the immortal side, it is indeed necessary to Find a "scapegoat" to be "responsible" for the fall of Emperor Yanwang]

[Anyway, the Treasure Stealing Group is not a serious organization to begin with. They have taken many scapegoats over the years, but this time is definitely the most serious one.]

[After Liyue Qixing announced this matter, it naturally caused a violent response. Although a loose organization of thieves like the Treasure Thieves Group is basically impossible to pose any threat to Emperor Yan Wang, for a while, there were still different opinions. The rumor that a treasure-stealing group framed the emperor spread like wildfire]

[This turned the treasure-thief group, which was originally unpopular, into a street rat that everyone yelled at. In the past, the treasure thief group could take advantage of loopholes and sneak into Liyue Port to commit theft.

Li Ding's younger brother Li Dang even had three fingers broken. Until, For the members of the treasure stealing group, that’s the guy who eats]

[Fortunately, there is always a path. That night, a few men in black stunned the jailer and rescued you. The leader was naturally your sworn sister Yan'er]

[In fact, in order to avoid being affected, many members of the treasure thief group either quit directly and found another way to make a living, or left Liyue Port to avoid disaster]

[As for Yan'er, she chose another path. She became entangled with a group of treasure thieves who were expelled from Liyue, gathered in the mountains and forests, and became thieves by intercepting passing caravans and collecting "protection fees" for a living]

[You are often taught so hard that you are covered in wounds. Finally, an old man in the bandit group couldn’t stand it anymore and decided to teach you some fighting skills]

[The old man was a member of the bandit group later. He had no name and people called him "Old Thief". The reason why they were willing to accept an old man was because his skills in handling daggers did have merit]
