Song Qingshu, who was hiding in the dark, had a strange look on his face when he heard this. He thought that others might have different answers if they asked this question, but Murong Fu had always dreamed of becoming the emperor.
Li Yanzong's heart skipped a beat. He thought that she had found out his secret. He suppressed the turbulence in his heart and said calmly, "Princess, you must be joking."
Li Qinglu gave him a deep look and said, "You only need to answer me if you want to or not."
Li Yanzong opened his mouth, but he didn't say anything in the end.
Li Qinglu smiled confidently and said, "You don't have to answer. I can already see the answer from your expression."
Li Yanzong was a little angry that his thoughts were exposed. He said, "Princess, why do you have to deliberately tease me? How can I become the emperor?"
"Why not?" Li Qinglu said with hatred, "Now that the former emperor has passed away, the Crown Prince is dead, and my father has been secretly executed. As long as the truth of King Yi's conspiracy is exposed, you will naturally have the chance to become the emperor."
Song Qingshu, who was hiding in the dark, was shocked. Li Qianshun was killed? But on second thought, it was normal. After all, Li Liangzuo would not leave such a direct competitor for the throne. If it were another ambitious person, he would most likely kill him.
Li Yanzong said in a deep voice, "You know about it?"
Li Qinglu sneered and said, "If you don't want people to know about it, don't do it. Isn't it obvious enough that my father's guards have been withdrawn? I think the news of him dying of a sudden illness or committing suicide will spread soon." She said all this in a very calm tone, but the more she said so, the more he could feel her hatred.
Li Yanzong's expression was a little unnatural. He didn't want to continue talking about Li Qianshun. He coughed and changed the topic, "Even if Li Liangzuo is defeated, there are still many princes in Lingzhou City. How can an outsider inherit the throne?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he regretted it. He felt that he was really crazy. He actually discussed the possibility of inheriting the throne with her. Could it be that his obsession to revive the Yan Kingdom had really gone crazy?
But Li Qinglu's next words instantly evoked his thoughts, "Who said you are an outsider?"
"What do you mean?" Li Yanzong had a guess in his heart, and his heartbeat quickened.
Li Qinglu explained, "I can recruit you as my son-in-law and you will be a member of the royal family. After defeating Li Lang, it will be inconvenient for a girl like me to inherit the throne. Coincidentally, your surname is also Li, so I can fabricate an identity for you as a distant relative and it will not be impossible for you to inherit the throne."
Li Yanzong's eyes instantly lit up. Although the other party made it sound simple, after careful consideration, he felt that it was indeed feasible. It was even closer to the throne than when he was in Sichuan.
However, he didn't let it get to his head. He quickly calmed down. "There's no such thing as a free lunch in this world. What do you need me to do?"
Li Qinglu also stopped smiling. "Of course it's to get Li Langzuo off the stage."
Li Yanzong laughed. "Now that Li Langzuo's forces are powerful, you want me to help you with an empty promise? Are you naive or am I stupid?"
Li Qinglu didn't get angry. She continued, "Li Langzuo's core forces, Gao Huaichang and the others are civil officials, so they can be ignored in the chaos. Helian Tieshu, Duan Yanqing, and the others surrendered to him midway. Since they surrendered to him for benefits, they can naturally betray him for benefits in the future. The rest are the Kongtong Sect and the Vulture Palace. Kongtong Sect is nothing to be afraid of, but the Vulture Palace is a bit tricky."
Li Yanzong chuckled. "Heaven Mountain Tonglao's martial arts is so high that it's rare in the world. Even two of me can't beat her, not to mention that she has so many masters under her command. It's like throwing an egg against a rock to deal with them."
Li Qinglu answered calmly, "Heaven Mountain Tonglao has a large number of people under her control, but it's a double-edged sword. These people have long been dissatisfied with Heaven Mountain Tonglao using the Life and Death Talisman to control them, so they've always wanted to rebel. What they lack now is an opportunity."
Li Yanzong sneered. "Heaven Mountain Tonglao's martial arts are so high that those mobs can't do anything even if they're dissatisfied."
"But what if Heaven Mountain Tonglao's martial arts suddenly isn't good?" Li Qinglu suddenly said.
Li Yanzong was surprised. "What do you mean?"
Li Qinglu paced slowly as she explained a secret, "The kung fu that Heavenly Mountain Tonglao practiced is called the Eight Desolations and Six Directions Supremacy Kung Fu. Although it's powerful, it has a fatal flaw, which is that it will rejuvenate every thirty years."
"Isn't it good to regain your youth?" Li Yanzong was very surprised. His family had a long history of learning, but he still hadn't heard of this martial arts. However, there was a martial arts that could make people regain their youth in this world. How was it different from magic arts?
"It's indeed good to regain youth, but what if her martial arts also return to when she was a girl?" Li Qinglu showed a trace of a smile. "Originally, the old Princess predicted that she would lose her martial arts in the near future. Originally, she planned to find her at the Vulture Palace when she was free. I didn't expect that she would make the first move. But according to the time, she should lose her martial arts in a few days."
In the dark, Song Qingshu was stunned. No wonder Heaven Mountain Tonglao looked so young and even loli when he saw her last time. It turned out that she already had a sign of losing her martial arts.
"As long as you seize this opportunity to get rid of Heaven Mountain Tonglao and control the Vulture Palace, Li Liangzuo will lose one of his hands. At that time, you will be the new emperor of Xixia." Li Qinglu continued to tempt him. "Even if you fail, the Vulture Palace will be enough for you to dominate the martial arts world."
This time, Li Yanzong was really tempted. He was originally unwilling to be under someone else. Relying on Li Liangzuo was just an expedient measure. Now that he had the chance to aspire to the throne, the blood in his body began to boil.
Noticing his expression, Li Qinglu knew that he had been persuaded. She continued, "Although there are many people in the 36 islands and 72 caves, there are a few leaders. Among them, Boss Wu and Duanmu Yuan are the leaders. As long as you contact them, I believe that with your reputation as Murong of Gusu, you will definitely become their leader."
Li Yanzong frowned and said, "After the last coup, the people of the Vulture Palace all disappeared. And I don't know Boss Wu, Duanmu Yuan and the others at all. How can I contact them?"
Li Qinglu thought for a while and continued, "You can go to Jietan Temple and rescue Mu Gaofeng from the Mu family. He and Duanmu Yuan used to be sworn brothers. With his help, you will naturally be able to find Duanmu Yuan and contact those Island Masters and Cave Masters."
"Mu Gaofeng?" Song Qingshu, who was hiding in the dark, recalled that it was Mu Gaofeng who brought Mu Wanqing back to Xixia in Jiangnan. Mu Gaofeng could be considered as her uncle or something. At that time, she even misunderstood that he was the one who kidnapped Mu Wanqing.
Li Yanzong obviously remembered this past. "I know Mu Gaofeng. We met once before. Alright, I will go to Jietan Temple. But don't go back on your promise in the future."
There was a hint of bitterness in Li Qinglu's smile. "Don't worry. Although I am not a man of character, I understand that a promise cannot be taken back."
