Like Second Miss Han, Young Lord Li was blessed and full of treasures.
The injuries he suffered in the Yongyue Mountain Range were limited. After careful recuperation these days, he had recovered.
The reason why he pretended to be sick was that the Western Qin Dynasty had a political need to wrangle with the Misery Sea. On the other hand, he was taking the opportunity to secretly digest the Qi of the black dragon.
As a member of the royal family of the Western Qin, Li Gucheng was very talented in martial arts. After making up for his congenital shortcomings, he made rapid progress in martial arts.
What he practiced was the most orthodox Dragon Emperor's Sky Blade. Now that he got one of the five Qi of the black dragon, he made rapid progress.
However, Young Lord Li chose to hide his strength and strength as much as possible.
At present, the situation in the Western Qin was unpredictable. According to Mr. "Treehouse", Li Ce, the emperor of the Western Qin, was still alive.
After turning into his father's saber slave, Prince Li Jr. had calmed down and was no longer as carefree and flamboyant as before.
He had been urging his subordinates to find the slovenly Taoist who tried to assassinate him.
If the assassin was really Wutong from "Treehouse" or a helper found by Wutong, the first assassination was enough.
The so-called second assassination was to help Li Ce, the emperor of the Western Qin, to occupy Li Gucheng's body.
But if it was not Wutong, he didn't see any other assassin …
Did the Green Bull Temple know nothing about the slovenly Taoist as Zhao Rimian said?
Li Gucheng pondered for a while and stopped thinking.
He began to focus on his own practice and waited in Silence for Mr. Zun's next call.
Finally, one day, the light in front of Young Lord Li changed, and he suddenly disappeared from the quiet room where he was recuperating.
When his vision returned to normal, he had turned into a "fruit", hanging on the divine tree of life.
There were other "fruits" on the tree.
Wutong was also there.
Young Lord Li didn't say anything for the time being. He didn't greet the other party. He was going to see Mr. Zun first.
They came to the hall together. In front of the round table, Mr. Zun was sitting there in Silence, waiting in front of the light.
Li Gucheng observed the other people. Although he couldn't see their faces clearly, he could tell from past experience that the other two should be "Wutong" and "Pine Tree".
He didn't see "Peach Tree" Bie Donglai and "Maple Tree".
Mr. Zun was still calm and looked at them with a smile, "Little friends, do you have any good news for me?"
'Wutong's' voice trembled slightly, "This junior … has not found anything yet. Senior, please give me some more time. This junior will definitely find some clues as soon as possible."
Mister Zun's tone was as gentle as before, "Then, I will wait for little friend's good news."
Wutong said hurriedly, "I will do my best."
'Pine Tree' Ji Zhong also said apologetically, "I …"
Mister Zun immediately waved his hand and interrupted him with a calm tone, "Little friend, you are not free right now. The situation is special, I naturally won't force you."
"Zun Ji Lord Li Gued, and said. and said.
Li Gucheng looked at "Pine Tree" thoughtfully, but he didn't say anything. Instead, he said to Mr. Zun, "Senior, I have some new clues."
Mr. Zun nodded. He covered Li Gucheng with a light and talked to him alone.
"What did you find?" Chen Luoyang, who was disguised as Mr. Zun, asked calmly.
"Senior, I read many ancient books and have some ideas about the whereabouts of the Emperor's Mausoleum," Li Gucheng said calmly.
Mr. Zun didn't say anything. He looked at Li Gucheng in Silence.
Young Lord Li took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and said, "I suspect that the Emperor's Mausoleum is not on land, but in the sea in the east."
"What's the basis?" Mr. Zun asked calmly.
Li Gucheng said, "There are two main points that I hope Senior can consider.
First, according to the ancient books, since the Emperor's death, in about five thousand years, the sea began to have unusual tremors. The intervals varied from one thousand to one hundred years, but every time the waves were earth-shattering.
Second, there was a kind of stone called Haining Stone, which was completely extinct about five thousand years ago. Since then, it has never been seen again, and became a legend.
I suspect that if the Emperor's Mausoleum really exists, when it was built, the Haining Stone in the mortal world must have been looted. Otherwise, the timing wouldn't be so coincidental. "
As he said, he looked at Mr. Zun in front of him, "I believe that there were also seniors who found these problems before, and followed the clues to find the Emperor's Mausoleum in the sea.
It's just that in the deep sea of the mortal world, there are many calamities that even the powerful figures might not be able to break through.
But with Senior's method of subduing the Mad Emperor, you must have gone deeper than those seniors. "
Under the cover of the light, Mr. Zun seemed to smile.
"Although it's still a little illusory, after reading so many ancient books and looking for clues between the lines, you have indeed put in a lot of effort." Mr. Zun said in a gentle tone, "In return, I will give you a piece of news."
Li Gucheng was curious. He held his breath, and listened in Silence.
However, when Mr. Zun's warm and peaceful voice fell in his ears, it was like a thunderclap.
"My young friend has been trying hard to find out who among the high-level leaders of the Western Qin was bribed by the successor of the Misery Sea Devil Buddha. That person is your elder brother, Li Yuanbang."
Li Gucheng was stunned as if struck by lightning, and he couldn't say a word for a long time.
"Before your father Li Ce suffered the first calamity, Li Yuanbang was already the spokesman of the Misery Sea in the Western Qin, but he kept it a secret." Mr. Zun said, "My young friend, you have been investigating for a long time, and you should have found some clues."
Li Gucheng's body shook slightly. When he came to his senses, he couldn't help showing a complicated expression.
He did have some gains, which made him depressed and disappointed.
If it was an expert recruited by the Western Qin Dynasty who betrayed them and secretly contacted the Misery Sea, he would feel better.
But more and more signs showed that the spy was a legitimate member of the royal family of the Western Qin.
And it was very likely that the spy was the core high-level leader.
Young Lord Li had already felt extremely sad that he had found out so far.
But at this moment, when he heard Mr. Zun mention that the spy was actually his elder brother Li Yuanbang, who had the best relationship with him, Young Lord Li couldn't help feeling depressed.
First, it was his father Li Ce, and then his elder brother Li Yuanbang. The successive changes made Li Gucheng, who had been much calmer these days, feel dizzy.
He didn't want to believe it, but the one who said it was the omnipotent Mr. Zun in front of him.
Young Lord Li felt dizzy for a long time, and then he finally stabilized his mind.
He looked at Mr. Zun, almost asking for help. "Senior, my father has lost the throne, and my elder brother has become the crown prince, taking charge of our dynasty and holding great power. He has nothing to ask from the Misery Sea. He must not be willing to be a puppet of the Misery Sea, right?
Even if he had a relationship with the Misery Sea before, he will definitely alienate and guard against them now. Only in this way can he be the emperor of our country, right? "
"It depends on your own investigation and judgment, my young friend." Mr. Zun's tone was always calm and gentle. "I just provide you with a piece of information in return for your efforts."
Although he didn't get a clear answer, his calmness and gentleness made Li Gucheng calm down.
After taking a few deep breaths, his eyes gradually became steady and calm.
"Thank you, senior. I know what to do." Li Gucheng solemnly bowed to Mr. Zun. "Mr. Zun saved my life before, and now you have pointed out the right path. I am very grateful."
The "Mr. Zun" that Chen Luoyang disguised as smiled and said, "My young friend, you are welcome."
Looking at Li Gucheng in front of him, he also felt a little emotional.
In the past, although this young man was a little foppish, he was open-minded and generous. Born in the royal family, he valued friendship and righteousness.
However, he didn't know whether the changes of his father and elder brother would also change him.
Chen Luoyang was also a little surprised about Li Yuanbang's relationship with the Misery Sea.
To control the changes of the situation in the Western Qin, one person couldn't avoid it, and that person was the current Crown Prince Li Yuanbang.
Therefore, Chen Luoyang used the white jade bottle to inquire about Li Yuanbang's information.
As a result, he didn't need to check his life experience. Just the four big words "Buddha's Palm" in the summary of martial arts were enough to make people explode.
When Chen Luoyang thought of Cheng Yingtian in the Southern Chu again, he couldn't help but sigh from the bottom of his heart. Those born in the royal family were really not easy to deal with.
After Mr. Zun withdrew the light, he looked at Li Gucheng, Ji Zhong, and "Wutong" in front of him and said, "Today, let's call it a day. I look forward to meeting you next time."
Li Gucheng and the other two immediately bowed and left.
Mr. Zun's figure disappeared in the hall.
Ji Zhong also walked out of the palace gate.
Li Gucheng stopped Wutong.
"Did you personally carry out the assassination of Li Gucheng in the Western Qin?"
Wutong said with a relaxed smile, "Why do you ask? Do you want to find out my identity? Whether I did it or not, anyway, that young Lord Li is now seriously injured and can't get up. I have fulfilled my agreement with you. Your benevolence has not been in vain. "
Young Lord Li's expression didn't change. "As far as I know, that Li Gucheng suffered two consecutive assassination attempts. I need to confirm which one was it you who carried out the assassination."
He looked at Wutong calmly and said, "It was you both times? Or are you saying that it was not you both times? "
Hearing this, Wutong's face, shrouded in the light, seemed a little unnatural. "Are you suspecting that I falsely claimed the credit?"
Li Gucheng said, "I have no intention of probing into your secrets, but I need to confirm that this request is not excessive."
Chen Luoyang tried to guess what the other party was thinking. He pretended to be "Wutong" and pretended to be hesitant. After a moment of hesitation, he said, "To tell you the truth, the person who carried out the assassination of that young Lord Li was not me. I entrusted someone else to do it. As for the two assassinations you mentioned, I also know that they were carried out by the person I entrusted. But according to him, the second time was purely an accident."
Out of consideration for confidentiality, Wutong would not carry out the assassination himself. Li Gucheng had expected this.
At this time, hearing Wutong's words, Li Gucheng asked, "What accident?"
"The first time, he injured that young Lord Li. Although he didn't kill him, he didn't intend to do it a second time." Wutong answered, "The so-called second assassination was purely because he was involved in a fight with another enemy and accidentally injured Li Gucheng again."
Li Gucheng's expression was indifferent. He nodded and said, "Okay, I believe you."
Without waiting for Wutong to heave a sigh of relief, he continued, "Now, I have another matter to trade with you."
"What is it?" Wutong asked.
Li Gucheng said, "Help me introduce this friend of yours. I also have something to entrust him to do."
