Two days passed quickly.
That day in the dungeon, he found the copy that Yue'er had written in advance. It was a secret, and only a few people present knew about it.
Unfortunately, the people who went to kill Ye Shiqing returned empty-handed. It was said that they were saved by a demoness who knew how to use illusions. Yan Li vaguely guessed that it was Hei Shan who did it.
It was already dusk when they finished the large number of training tasks that Li Yong had specially arranged for them. Yan Li lay on the roof to rest, watching the setting sun, which was rare for him, showing his rare calmness.
"Are you plotting something again?" Tang Sanghua lay on the side and looked at him. The orange light shone on his clean and handsome face, making him look like a slightly bad boy next door, kind and sunny. It was hard to imagine that he was a robber who killed without batting an eye.
"I've been running non-stop." Yan Li closed his eyes. "Because once I stop, the great pressure and the threat of death will turn into an army of thousands of men and horses. They will force you into a valley with no way to escape, no way to retreat …
Tang Sanghua couldn't help but laugh. "Hey, hey, you, don't make it sound so sad. Don't tell me that this is your first time watching the sunset."
"If you look at it from an appreciation point of view, yes."
"Then why don't you continue watching?"
"Greed will make people sink."
"Tsk tsk." Tang Sanghua said with some contempt, "You are really disappointing. It seems that I have overestimated you. You should know that there is nothing more amazing than the 'self' in this world. From the moment you were born, you were a unique existence. Just like Ji Tiansheng said, life is priceless, but she is more inclined towards universal love, which means that all life is equal in her eyes. But I believe that only the life of the strong is priceless. Only a perfect 'self' can refine a perfect soul that can burst forth with a bright brilliance at any time. Look... "
She sat up. "The sky, the setting sun, the green mountains and clear waters, the buildings, the river, the noisy streets, the boundless world of mortals. Which place doesn't make people reluctant to leave? The sunset in your eyes may be your future home or a fetter. At that time, you can't escape by closing your eyes. Can you cut it in half? "
"I only understood half of what you said," Yan Li said.
"Idiot." Tang Sanhua raised a finger. "Let me give you an example. If Yan Shiyi were to block your path, would you kill him with a single slash?"
She lowered her head and looked at him faintly. "Just like that night, when you pierced my heart with a sword."
"Hey!" Yan Li couldn't help but say, "Is your heart on your stomach?"
"Is this the time to be humorous?" Tang Sanghua said with a faint smile.
"Cough cough!" Yan Li's eyes wandered. "Didn't I tell you? I didn't do it. It was the evil guy who controlled my body …"
"Forget it!" Tang Sanghua stood up expressionlessly and prepared to leave.
Yan Li frowned. "Isn't the trial over? Leave Yong Ling as soon as possible. This place is getting more and more dangerous. "
"Do you care about me?" Tang Sanghua stopped and turned back to look at him. "If you are trying to make up for the harm you have done to me, you don't have to. I won't believe a person who is full of lies. Moreover, you are no one to me."
This time, she walked away firmly.
"I still don't know!"
Yan Li's voice came from behind. Tang Sanghua didn't stop.
"I still don't know the answer. If Yan Shiyi stood in front of me, I don't know whether I would kill him or not. When I find the answer, I will definitely tell you."
Tang Sanghua stopped. "Yan Li, you are a coward, but I am not. The strong have a fearless heart. Whether it is' greed ',' desire 'or anything else, they are all under control. When I was nine years old, I killed my father with my own hands. It won't be easier for me to get to where I am today than you. "
The sun set and night fell.
"Coward …?" The murmur melted into the wind and disappeared without a trace.
…
The next day, during the imperial court in the middle of the month, Yan Li was given special permission to attend court affairs because he had made a great contribution.
Li Yong was unwilling, but he had to bring them to the palace.
"Listen to me. If you dare to speak carelessly in the throne room later and implicate me, I will skin you when we get back!" He stared coldly at Yan Li.
"Yes, yes," Yan Li answered lazily.
Lan Yu glared at him and said, "Kid, don't think that you can be disrespectful to the commander just because you have made a great contribution. Show some respect."
"Yes, yes," Yan Li answered lazily.
"You!" Lan Yu was furious, but seeing Li Yong's calm face and no intention of pursuing the matter, he couldn't do anything about it. But in his heart, new and old hatred flared up, intertwining like a raging fire.
The throne room was the Hall of Supreme Harmony. It was only opened at the beginning of the month and in the middle of the month. Upon entering the hall, one would first see two rows of jade pillars that supported the sky. On the jade pillars, there were reliefs of two dragons playing with pearls, dragons swimming in water, dragons flying in the sky, and so on.
In the middle of the well was a coiled five-clawed golden dragon. It seemed to be resting, but its eyes were vivid and lifelike. When looking at it, one would feel a deep majesty that went straight to the bottom of one's heart.
Two huge bronze cauldrons stood on either side of the milky white jade steps.
It was not yet time, so the officials gathered in twos and threes and whispered to each other.
Of course, birds of a feather flock together. Most of the officials who gathered together wore the same official robes. For example, there was a clear distinction between green robes and scarlet robes. Most of the green robes were at the entrance of the hall.
"It's Lord Li …"
"Lord Li has arrived …"
As soon as Li Yong arrived, all sorts of greetings fell upon him like snowflakes. With a grave and stern face, he didn't even look at Yan Li and coldly said, "Just stand here and listen. Don't give this seat any trouble!"
"Yes, yes," Yan Li responded lazily.
Li Yong didn't pay attention to him. Leading Lan Yu and Zhu Hou, he walked to the very front and bowed slightly to the three old men with extraordinary bearings. Then he stood to the side without saying a word.
Yan Li secretly guessed that they were probably the Three Dukes of the Imperial Court. He had been treated as a nobody, or rather, as someone who had followed Li Yong here, he was naturally excluded from the list. Thus, he was given the cold shoulder to the corner, with no one paying any attention to him.
At this time, he heard whispers from the side.
"Did you hear? The Martial God was ordered to return to the court today. It's said that Western Liang is already beginning to stir. To summon him back at this critical moment, it seems that the Emperor is already suspicious of the Martial God. "
"That's right! The Minister of State and the capital magistrate's office are in trouble one after another, especially the capital magistrate's office. Both of the current governors are related to the underworld. You all know how much the Emperor hates the underworld. In the last two days, at least a hundred people have been implicated and had their homes confiscated and executed … "
The corner of Yan Li's mouth rose. He hadn't expected that woman to use such cruel methods. It seemed that she wasn't just merciful.
"Now that the Minister of State is in trouble, the three lords won't just sit by and watch. They'll definitely interfere. I wonder which side will succeed this time."
"Why do you care so much? In any case, it's not our turn to become the Minister of State."
"The Emperor has arrived!"
