Boom ~!
In front of Sky Dragon Temple, Li Tai's words caused an uproar among the people.
"Did Master Du E really abscond for fear of punishment?"
"Impossible! Master Du E is the reincarnation of a deity. Why would he be afraid of the imperial court's army? Why would he flee? "
"Master Du E must have left Sky Dragon Temple because of something!"
"Heh! Reincarnation of a deity? Du E's Ice Freezing Technique and His Highness Duke of Wei have already shown it to prove that he's not the reincarnation of a deity! He wants to trick us into joining the Heavenly Dragon Sect and then cheat us of our money. For the sake of becoming an inner disciple of the Heavenly Dragon Sect, our village's Wang Shihu squandered away all the wealth his father left him! Sky Dragon Sect isn't a good thing! "
"That's right! Sky Dragon Sect isn't a good thing! Our neighbor Shi Dazhuang sold his family's land in order to join Sky Dragon Sect! "
"Du E is a quack! Sky Dragon Sect is a liar!"
"Bullsh * t! Why would Master Du E lie? My father's leg injury was cured by Sky Dragon Sect's Jade Lake Holy Water! "
"That's right! My mother's lumbar pain was also cured by Jade Lake Holy Water! "
Li Tai's performance and speech today had shaken the hearts of many citizens, but there were still many who still firmly supported the Heavenly Dragon Sect. Very soon, the two groups of citizens were in a heated argument. Li Tai saw this and smiled in satisfaction. He didn't expect to make all the citizens abandon the Heavenly Dragon Sect. Being able to make a portion of the citizens waver was enough to satisfy him. Many times, once a group had a crack, it was only a matter of time before the group disbanded!
"Minister Liu, I'll leave these Sky Dragon Sect members to you. We still have something to do, so we'll take our leave first!"
Li Tai turned to Liu Dewei and cupped his hands.
Liu Dewei returned the greeting and said, "Thank you for your help today, Your Highness. Otherwise, these commoners would definitely have clashed with the imperial army. At that time, things would be troublesome!"
There was a hint of respect in his tone. If this had happened in the past, it would have been impossible. Liu Dewei was a third-rank official. Although Li Tai was a prince, he was still young. It was impossible for a third-rank official to respect him from the bottom of his heart. This was a matter of ability and experience!
But now it was different. Facing these crazy Heavenly Dragon Sect disciples, Liu Dewei himself couldn't deal with them. Instead, Li Tai had come and conducted a small experiment. With just a few words, he had easily dealt with them. This ability, this quick-wittedness, even if Liu Dewei didn't want to admire him, he couldn't help but admire him!
Li Tai smiled and said, "Minister Liu, there's no need to be so courteous. This Prince is not here to help you, but to let the people wake up as soon as possible and not be confused by the Heavenly Dragon Sect! Since the matter has been resolved, then we shall take our leave! "
"Farewell!"
Di Zhixun, Sun Zifan, and Yuchi Bao Lin followed behind Li Tai and cupped their hands together.
"Good! Your Highness and these little friends, take care! "
Liu Dewei said with a smile.
The four of them nodded and turned to board the carriage.
Liu Dewei watched them leave, then waved his hand and said, "Bring all the Heavenly Dragon Sect disciples back for interrogation!"
"Yes!"
The bailiffs and two thousand imperial guards cupped their fists and accepted the order.
… … …
"Qingque, what did that escaped Heavenly Dragon Sect disciple write on the note he gave you? Quickly take it out for us to see! "
In the carriage, Sun Zifan looked at Li Tai with an eager expression.
Seeing that everyone was looking over, Li Tai pretended to be confused and said, "What note? Zifan, what are you talking about? Why can't I understand? "
Sun Zifan couldn't take it anymore, "Hey! Qingque, you're not being loyal enough! I clearly saw that Heavenly Dragon Sect disciple secretly give you a note, don't play dumb! The four of us have solved a case together and gone through thick and thin together, what are you hiding from us for? Don't you trust us? "
"Hey! You're the only one with sharp eyes! "
Li Tai glared and scolded with a smile. Then, he seriously thought about it and said with a sincere face, "That person did give me a note, but I can't tell you the contents of the note, and I can't tell you the identity of that person. It's not that I don't trust you, but the less people know about this, the safer that person's situation will be. I hope you can understand!"
Di Zhixun was not stupid. After thinking for a while, he understood most of the situation. He nodded and said, "If that's the case, there's no need to talk about it! Qingque, we understand your concerns, you don't have to worry that we'll misunderstand! "
"Ang! Qingque, if you don't want to say it, then don't say it. Otherwise, I'll have to keep it a secret for you. It's so tiring! "
Yuchi Bao Lin followed behind Di Zhixun and snorted.
Sun Zifan helplessly rolled his eyes. He was too lazy to complain about Bao Lin's character. He turned to Li Tai and waved his hand. "Okay, okay, okay! Then I won't ask! Qingque, are you going back to Chang 'an City or directly to the workshop? "
Li Tai pondered for a moment and said, "I have to go back to the palace first. There's something I have to report to my father! I can also send you guys home on the way! "
"Hey! That's great! Otherwise, I'll be burned to death if I get off the carriage on such a hot day! "
Sun Zifan leaned on the sofa in the carriage and said happily.
… … …
"Dragon Head's prediction is amazing. The imperial court has indeed sent an army to surround the Sky Dragon Temple. If not for the Dragon Head ordering the core members of the sect to retreat first, we would have been surrounded!"
On a mountain peak, a man with an iron mask stood. Behind him, Shakyamuni bowed in admiration.
"Hmph! Is this something to be happy about? "
The man with the iron mask snorted mercilessly. "This time, not only did the imperial court encircle our stronghold in Xinfeng City, they also exposed some of the immortal arts you used in front of everyone. We've lost the most in the hearts of the people. Li Shimin will definitely use the tricks that Li Tai showed us this time to make a big fuss. He has the Datang Daily in his hands, and it won't be long before our sect's followers dwindle! And all of this is because of you! "
At the end of his words, the man with the iron mask suddenly turned around. Through the two holes in his mask, one could see the cold light shooting out from his eyes.
Compared to others, the Dragon Head's vision was indeed more long-term. He was more clear about the foundation of the Sky Dragon Sect. He knew that once they lost the hearts of the people and followers, the Sky Dragon Sect would immediately collapse!
Shakyamuni trembled in the face of this cold gaze and powerful pressure. He quickly bowed and said, "This poor monk was careless and caused the imperial court to be vigilant against the Sky Dragon Sect in advance. Please punish me!"
"Hmph! Punish? Do you think the situation will turn for the better if I kill you? "
The man with the iron mask raised his voice by an octave. A powerful pressure rushed towards Shakyamuni, making him breathless. He could only quickly beg for mercy.
"Please forgive me, Dragon Head! Please forgive me, Dragon Head! "
"Hmph!"
The man with the iron mask flicked his sleeves, then turned around and said coldly, "Now that things have come to this, the most important thing now is to act as soon as possible. The followers of the other four provinces will arrive in two days. Together, there will be forty to fifty thousand people. You will be in charge of receiving them. When the time is right, we will cooperate with the spies in Chang 'an City and directly attack Chang' an City to take Li Shimin's head! At that time, even if the people know that your so-called immortal arts are tricks, so what? I will become their king, who dares not to submit to me? Hahaha! "
At the end of his words, the man with the iron mask opened his arms and laughed wildly at the cliff.
Shakyamuni, who was standing behind him, did not kick him down the cliff. Instead, he bowed and said, "Dragon Head is wise! This subordinate wishes the Dragon Head to complete your great cause as soon as possible and rule the world! "
"Haha! I don't need you to flatter me! Yesterday, I asked you to calculate a good day, did you calculate it? "
The man with the iron mask stopped laughing and asked.
Du E quickly cupped his hands and said, "Reporting to the Dragon Head, five days later, the weather will change and thunder will roll. It will be a good day!"
"Five days later! Good! "
The man with the iron mask nodded and said with a trace of excitement, "Zhang Liang has sorted out a list. You can rely on these people to prepare our plan in advance!"
When he spoke up to here, he withdrew a bright yellow silk and a command token from his pocket and passed it to Du E. He said, "Besides that, I have a list of names here as well. If you have no other choice, then take this command token with you and seek their help. They'll definitely assist you in completing my plan! This time, you can't make any mistakes, or I will tear you into pieces! Do you hear me? "
Du E's body trembled and he solemnly took the silk and the token, saying, "This subordinate obeys! There won't be any mistakes! "
"Good!"
The man with the iron mask nodded and turned to look at the towering mountains and precipitous cliffs in front of him. He could not help but sigh, "Snake Spirit Mountain, one man can hold the pass against ten thousand. This is really a good place! It's a pity that Yin Batian and Snake King were courting death by provoking Li Zexuan. Such a good sect is wasted. Now, this place has become the temporary residence of our Heavenly Dragon Sect! "
Snake Spirit Mountain! The core members of the Heavenly Dragon Sect had actually retreated to Snake Spirit Mountain!
Du E smiled, "Dragon Head is wise! Last year, the imperial court sent an army to encircle Snake Spirit Mountain, and Li Zexuan used gunpowder to raze the peak of Snake Spirit Mountain to the ground. Now, no one will expect us to stay here. No matter how good the imperial court is, they won't be able to find us here! "
"Keke! The most dangerous place is the safest place! I will start from this Snake Spirit Mountain and conquer this world! "
The man with the iron mask laughed proudly.
"Report!"
At this moment, a Heavenly Dragon Sect member behind the two ran over and bowed, "Reporting to Dragon Head, there is an outer disciple of our sect in Weinan County who is inquiring about the whereabouts of Dragon Head and Venerable One. He said that he has something extremely important to hand over to Dragon Head and Venerable One. We have locked him in the Wu Manor at the foot of the mountain. Dragon Head, please make the decision!"
"Something extremely important?"
Du E frowned slightly, his face full of displeasure, "Why don't you just snatch it from him? Can't you see what the situation is now? If we are not careful, we will attract the imperial court's army! "
The disciple looked troubled, "Venerable One, that person said that he didn't bring that thing with him. He will only take it out after he is sure that he can see Dragon Head!"
"Hmph! This person is so cunning. It is very likely that he was sent by the imperial court. Let's kill him before he knows where we are! "
Hearing this, a trace of viciousness flashed across Shajiadu 'e's face as he coldly said.
"This …"
The disciple hesitated, not knowing if he should obey the order. Then, the man with the iron mask said, "Wait!"
After a pause, the man with the iron mask continued, "Take my order and bring that person up the mountain!"
"Dragon Head, what if this person is a spy sent by the imperial court? Won't our whereabouts be exposed?"
Du E hurriedly said.
The man with the iron mask snorted, "If this thing is extremely important to our Heavenly Dragon Sect, what should we do? Besides, even if he is a spy from the imperial court, I don't believe that he can send a message to the imperial court under my nose! You, hurry up and go! "
With that, the man with the iron mask pointed at the disciple who gave the order.
"Yes! Dragon Head! "
The disciple received the order and left.
As the sun set, a few men in grey clothes suddenly came to a village outside the mountains. They walked to a small dilapidated house beside the village and asked, "Is that kid still inside?"
The two young men guarding the door quickly said, "Still inside! Still inside! Brother Meng, wait a moment, we will bring that kid out! "
"En!"
The man in the lead responded softly.
The two young men pushed the door open and walked in.
After a while, the two of them walked out with a handsome young man who was dressed somewhat shabbily.
The man in the lead shouted, "Li Junjian, you brat, quickly hand over the thing, or don't blame me for being rude!"
The man named Li Junjian raised his head and looked at the man with the surname Meng indifferently. He said without fear, "I said, this thing is very important to me. I can only hand it to you, Dragon Head. I don't trust anyone else. You can kill me or cut me up, but it is impossible for me to hand over the thing!"
"Yo! You're quite tough, brat! This Young Master likes your temperament! Let's go! Take your thing and come back with me to see Dragon Head! "
The man with the surname Meng laughed and said.
Li Junjian was unmoved and said indifferently, "Hmph! How do I know if you're lying to me? If I take out the thing and you want to snatch it, then I won't have a share of the credit at that time! I'm not going! "
"Hey! You're quite cautious, brat! "
The man with the surname Meng laughed, then took out a token from his pocket and waved it in front of Li Junjian's eyes. He said, "See? This is Dragon Head's personal token. Seeing this token is like seeing Dragon Head. Now do you believe that I was sent by Dragon Head to pick you up? "
Li Junjian looked at it seriously. After pondering for a moment, he said, "Okay! I'll go with you! But I have to take the thing out first. You're not allowed to follow me! "
The man with the surname Meng thought for a moment and said, "Okay! Then hurry up! I don't think you can escape from me! "
