Crossing the Continent of Kings: Under the Valkyrie Zhongli

"As smart as Mr. Di Renjie, you must have already seen that something is wrong with the recently ascended empress?" Zhong Fei said.

Di Renjie nodded.

Then Yaotian and the others described Sikong Zhen's plan to assassinate the Empress to Di Renjie one by one, and Di Renjie quickly understood the current situation.

"So Your Majesty wants me to investigate Sikong Zhen's purpose?" Di Renjie cupped his hands and said respectfully to the Empress.

"No, Di Qing, your identity is too conspicuous. If you go to investigate, you will easily startle the snake." The empress shook her head: "Why don't you leave it to Yao Tian?"

In order not to arouse unnecessary attention and suspicion, Di Renjie left quickly, and besides A Li and Zhong Fei, the rest of Yao Tian also left the scene.

Wu Zetian waited for the few people to leave, then took the remaining two people out of the alley, looked at the lights of thousands of houses in Chang'an City, sighed and said, "Chang'an, the night is coming!"

Then he waved his sleeves, used his magic power to condense a symbol in the air, handed it to A Li, and said, "This is the symbol I saw on the person next to Sikong Zhen when I was being chased in the palace."

A Li took the symbol, thought about it, and said, "This symbol looks so familiar... Ah, I remembered, the owner of Changle Workshop recently bought a batch of organ dancers with a lot of money, and they have this symbol on their body."

Zhong Fei listened on the sidelines, although he knew that Sikong Zhen's ultimate goal was the treasure minister Tianshu of the Ten Thousand Nations Festival, but for the smooth development of the plot, he still didn't say a word to remind him.

The Empress continued: "Very good, Miss A Li, both I and Di Qing's identities are easy to overwhelm, and I hope Yaotian can assist in the investigation this time."

"When the truth comes out, I will fulfill my promise to help you find Ming Shiyin and give Yaotian the truth!"

Since Ming Shiyin took away the core fragments of the Ark, Yaotian could no longer contact him, and Di Renjie also listed Ming Shiyin as a wanted criminal in Chang'an, alongside Li Bai.

As for how Di Renjie knew Ming Shiyin was behind the scenes, of course our Zhong, honest and kind young man Fei told him!

At this time, Wu Zetian looked at Zhong Fei who was beside him, and said to A Li: "Or you can ask him directly? Judging by his appearance, he should already know about Sikong Zhen's plan, right?"

Ah Li also turned to look at Zhong Fei, Zhong Fei shook his head and smiled wryly, "I still can't hide it from you, yes, I do know."

Seeing Ah Li's brighter and brighter eyes, Zhong Fei said again: "But I can't tell you, this is a deal between me and Sikong Zhen. If you can use your own strength to destroy Sikong Zhen's plan, he will be able to make a deal with Sikong Zhen." The empress shook hands to make peace, and even handed over her military power."

"Of course, although I won't tell you his plan, I can provide military support. After all, I am also a member of Chang'an!"

A Li is also sensible, so he didn't ask too many questions, just nodded, and then said: "The owner of Changle Fang promised me that as long as I can win the championship in tomorrow's Shangyuan competition, he can promise me a request. At that time, I will ask the organ dancer to come, so I can continue the investigation!"

After Ah Li finished speaking, he bid farewell to the two of them, and went back to prepare for his "Jinghong Dance" tomorrow.

Zhong Fei, on the other hand, wandered around the street with the empress who put on the hood again to hide her eyes.

"You know, after I was discovered to be gifted in the way of magic, I was locked up at home and continued to learn magic. At the age of 14, I was sent to the palace, first imprisoned in the temple, and then imprisoned in the palace until the death of the first emperor, I ascended the throne Only when you are an emperor can you truly make your own decisions, but unfortunately, as the current emperor, you can't leave the palace at will."

"After I really walked into the lives of the people during this period, I realized that maybe my thinking was really wrong. I shouldn't disband the army and hand over the risk of facing the enemy to these simple people."

"So, after the truth is revealed this time, I will discuss this matter with Sikong Zhen."

Zhong Fei was very excited: Isn't the main mission [-] guaranteed?

On the surface, he replied calmly: "The empress is wise."

"After this incident is over, are you interested in becoming an official in the court?" The empress was silent for a while, and then asked suddenly.

Zhong Fei was taken aback when he heard the words, although he was a little surprised, he still replied honestly: "Forget it, the wild cranes are used to the idle clouds, so let's not obstruct His Majesty's eyes."

The empress shook her head, didn't say much, just walked back to Yaotian courtyard silently.

Zhong Fei returned to the Zhao Mansion, told Zhao Huaizhen the matter, and asked him to communicate with Yunying. After all, Yunying was also a great help to the empress' side during the follow-up Wan Guo Lantern Festival.

All of a sudden, an undercurrent surged in Chang'an, like a gunpowder keg (or fire slime keg?) just waiting for a spark to detonate completely!

Chapter 35 Jinghong dance, Shangyuan wins the championship!

On the second day of the Shangyuan Festival, Changlefang, Quchifang, Yingjiufang and other fangs and cities in Chang'an will jointly hold the event of "Shangyuan Wins the Championship". Shangyuan Kuifang' plaque.

This plaque is a great honor in Chang'an, not to mention, with the prestige of the empress in Chang'an, the number of people in the city that gets this plaque will far exceed that of other places in this year, which can be said to be both fame and fortune.

In order to get this year's leader, various methods have emerged in Chang'an's several markets. If the empress hadn't explicitly prohibited vicious competition, the incident of sending someone to assassinate the opposite dancer might have happened.

But it was precisely because of the empress' order that the competition became more intense.This year, the owner of Changle Fang not only spent a lot of money to invite Gongsunli, a master of sword dance, and Yang Yuhuan, a well-known musician in Chang'an, but also personally promised that if he got the leader, he could agree to each of them.

As for the organ dancer purchased with a lot of money, it seemed a little insignificant in front of the plaque bestowed by the empress herself.

Soon, just as the sky was getting dark, Chang'an City began to be lively again. Several fangs and cities jointly set up a huge organ stage in the center of Chang'an, and each fang and city took turns performing a program that had been carefully prepared for a year.

As last year's leader, Changlefang's performance will appear as the finale.

Zhong Fei looked at the dances prepared by several other squares. Although it was beautiful, it always felt that something was missing.

The show in Changle Square didn't begin until the shows in other cities had finished.

Suddenly there were a few more light golden screens on the stage, and then the lights on the stage dimmed.Just when the people in Chang'an were puzzled, the screen suddenly folded and opened to both sides, revealing the empty stage behind, with only a lantern placed at each of the four corners.

Just when the audience was in an uproar, Ah Li's paper umbrella fell from the sky and slowly fell to the ground. Umbrella stood up and looked in the direction of the audience.

While the crowd applauded, Ah Li officially started his performance. He knelt down on one knee, looked down at the ground, held an umbrella in his left hand, and stretched out his right hand, gently undulating like water waves. Then he closed his hands and stood up, turning his back on the Everyone, the paper umbrellas in their hands came out again and spun on the stage. When they passed a light gauze, the paper umbrellas turned into flying petals.

Accompanied by the fluttering of petals, A Li stretched his body on the stage to his heart's content. At this time, on the high platform behind A Li, a fan-shaped decoration slowly opened, and Yang Yuhuan sat sideways on Zhong Fei's changed shape on the rock ridge. Zhong Fei controlled the rise slowly, straight enough for everyone to see.

One-life effect · rock, Liuhe draws it as bone: the created rock ridge will not be limited in shape, can be shaped at will and the number is not limited.

Zhong Fei used the effect of one life to make a lifting platform similar to the shape of a flower bud, and sent Yang Yuhuan to the stage.The screen at the beginning is actually Zhong Fei's rocky ridge.

Lord Yan never dreamed that his elemental combat skills would become decorations and props on the stage.

Ah Li's performance also reached its climax at this time. The petals all over the sky gathered in Ah Li's hands and turned into paper umbrellas again. Then Ah Li stood on one foot, raised the other leg, raised his left hand above his head and at the same time his whole body leaned back , propped up the ground with a paper umbrella.

The onlookers applauded, then A Li turned around and stood up, and jumped a few steps forward lightly. Zhong Fei's rocky ridge appeared just right under A Li's feet. After A Li circled the stage, she was already level with Yang Yuhuan .

Then A Li jumped down from the rocky ridge, and the gorgeous robes on his body turned into the original dance clothes (original leather) while turning around in the air. Without the drag of the heavy clothing, A Li's dancing posture was even more light, with every step and every turn. Can cause the audience to scream.

It seems that no matter which dynasty it is, people's pursuit of idols is so crazy!

At this time, Ah Li also stopped in the center of the stage, crossed her legs and squatted down, and slowly got up as her hands waved up and down like wings. People seemed to really see a crane flying from her.

Afterwards, A Li lifted up the rocky ridge step by step again, and began to stretch his body in the air. At the same time, he used his true energy to transform into maple leaves and danced with him. , bringing up the water flow around the stage, matching A Li's dancing posture.

When the music reached its peak, the water flowed high to form a water curtain. A Li used his true energy to transform into a crane shape, broke through the water curtain, reappeared in the audience's field of vision, and then disappeared into maple leaves. .

As the music gradually died down, the water curtain slowly fell, and the maple leaves gradually floated back to the center of the stage, and finally turned into the back of A Li holding an umbrella.

After the performance was over, Ah Li turned around and looked at the almost silent crowd in the audience. There was a trace of anxiety on his face, but he seemed more and more pitiful.

Offstage, Zhong Fei was the first to react and applauded, waking up the other audience who were still immersed in A Li's dance.

After watching A Li's performance, Zhong Fei realized that the performances carefully prepared by other squares were beautiful, but they still lacked the sense of surprise that A Li performed.

Seeing the reaction of the audience, Ah Li finally smiled, and the audience couldn't help being overwhelmed by her stunning appearance.

Soon, the figure of the empress appeared at the top of the stage and asked: "This year's 'Shangyuan wins the championship' is over, and everyone must have understood in their hearts who will be the leader."

"Changlefang! Gongsunli!" At the beginning, there were some noises from the people, but at the end they began to shout these six words neatly.

"Yes, I announce that this year's 'Shangyuankui City' will be given to Changlefang, Gongsunli!" The tone of the fake empress was still very flat, although it was slightly different from previous years, the people who were on the rise didn't pay too much attention .

Ah Li was also very happy to get this year's leader, and rushed towards Zhong Fei after stepping off the stage, leaping forward, hanging on Zhong Fei's body directly: "A Fei, I got this year's leader! "

Zhong Fei also enjoyed the feeling of nephrite in his arms, and hugged A Li for a circle: "That's inevitable! A Li's dance is the best in the world!"

At this time, Yang Yuhuan, who had stepped off the stage, also came over, seeing the excited Ah Li still hanging on Zhong Fei's body, he had to cough twice in embarrassment.

Only then did A Li realize that he quickly jumped off Zhong Fei and explained with a flushed face, "I'm just excited, that's all... Ah, I have to thank you this time, Sister Yuhuan!"

Yang Yuhuan smiled lightly and shook her head, then left.

A Li turned his head to look at Zhong Fei, his face became even redder, and it seemed that even the white hair on the erect rabbit ears was faintly turning red, and he said in a panic: "I...I'm going to find the dancer, the main organ of Changlefang Ji is gone!"

Afterwards, Ah Li fled away as if fleeing.

Ha, sooner or later I will take Ah Li to meet Zhao Huaizhen and Yunying, and I will feed them dog food too!

Chapter 36 Sikong Zhen's Past

The owner of Changle Workshop is also a cheerful person. A Li asked for a trick dancer that he had to spend a lot of money on. The owner of Changle Workshop was very straightforward and gave it to her without saying a word. Within the requirements of Yang Yuhuan, it is considered a personal gift.

A Like was happy, and quickly asked Pei Qinhu to remove his claws from the neck of the owner of Changlefang, and "comfort" him.

Of course, it was Pei Qinhu who comforted him.

After getting the organ dancer, A Li studied for a long time, but he still couldn't figure out what the meaning of the symbol was, until one day, Yi Xing got back a copy of the information.

"The grand meeting of all nations is approaching. Lord Sikong built many pagodas of treasured flowers in Chang'an City. At the same time, he participated in the construction of the largest treasured phase celestial hub over the years, all of which bear this symbol." Yi Xing read the information he had collected. .

"Ah Xing, do you mean that the International Chamber of Commerce this time is the beginning of Master Sikong's plan?" A Li asked with some uncertainty.

"Yes," Yi Xing put down the information in his hand, turned to look at A Li: "And his plan must be related to these Baoxiang Flower Pagodas and Baoxiang Tianshu!"

After speaking, Yi Xing stood up, walked to the window, looked at the sky outside the window, and said firmly: "The storm is coming, let me go in and have a look!"

Ah Li blinked, and walked to Yi Xing's side: "I will help you!"

Pei Qinhu and Yang Yuhuan also stepped forward: "Yes, we will help you!"

"And me and me." Zhong Fei, who had just arrived here, also came to join in the fun.

"Go, go, A Fei, don't make trouble, you clearly know about Sikong Zhen's plan but you don't tell us, you are responsible for our brainstorming here!" A Li gave Zhong Fei a blank look, and said with disgust.

"No way," Zhong Fei said with a wry smile, "If I told you his plan in advance, Sikong Zhen wouldn't be convinced if he lost. What he has to do is to test whether Quan Chang'an has the ability to deal with wars and storms." , rather than relying solely on personal strength to solve everything."

"And if I really tell you his plan, you may not necessarily win. At that time, he may enter the arena with all his strength, but if you find out his plan by yourself, then he will enter the arena It will also restrain some strength."

Yi Xing understood Zhong Fei's meaning, and asked directly: "Sikong Zhen's strength is very strong?"

Zhong Fei nodded and said with a wry smile: "Very strong, so strong that it's a bit scary. Let's describe it this way, even if you start to design a plan now, using the entire Chang'an as a chessboard, he still has the ability to overturn the table."

"But he will not attack with all his strength, he will not destroy Chang'an, he just wants to ensure that the people of Chang'an have enough power to protect themselves."

Yi Xing nodded, thinking of Sikong Zhen's past, he somewhat understood what he did.

Sikong Zhen, formerly known as Li Zhen, is the eldest son and grandson of British Duke Li Ji.After the eldest son of the Duke of England died defending the country, the Duke of England, Li Ji, brought his eldest grandson back to his hometown. Emperor Taizong was grateful for the meritorious deeds of the father and son, and bestowed his hometown, Shuocheng, as a feudal land.

There, Li Zhen, who was only five years old, met the son of Shuo City Lord General, who was only nine years old at this time. The first impression of the two was not very good, but unexpectedly they became the best friends later. Friends, they even agreed that when they grow up, they will be like their parents. One will be the city lord and the other will be the guard. They will govern Shuo City together and give their parents a stable home.

Unfortunately, when Li Zhen was 13 years old, he was attacked when he went out. His friend who was only 17 years old was killed in order to protect him.This has also become an eternal scar on his heart.

In order to become stronger, he not only asked his grandfather to train him more strictly, but also went to various parts of the mainland to experience alone under the guidance of his grandfather. Later, he went through all kinds of dangers and finally found the Five Thunders and Shocking Drums in an ancient ruins. The power of thunder.

Even with such a powerful force, Li Zhen still failed to prevent the destruction of Shuocheng.

Later, when Li Zhen entered Chang'an, because his cousin "Xiaoguogong" colluded with the enemy and conspired against the enemy, he could no longer use the surname "Li" bestowed by the first emperor. For Sikong Zhen.

This 'Xiaoguogong' is also Yi Xing's father, but unfortunately Yi Xing is only an illegitimate child, and has never been named 'Li' since he was born.

It is Sikong Zhen's experience that created his current character. He firmly believes that only with the power in his hands can he truly defend his homeland.He once swore that he would not let the tragedy of Shuocheng repeat itself, and he would build a home that could truly give people a stable home!
