After passing through a huge garden, Li Tan and Li Chongmao followed the great eunuch Ying Ying into the golden and splendid main hall.
In the main hall of the carved beams and paintings, in front of the first horizontal case, there is a gray-haired, slightly fat old man sitting quietly, he is wearing exquisite embroidered satin, the five-clawed golden dragon is lifelike, like a real dragon, yes, he is the true dragon son of heaven, Li Xian, the current saint Tang Zhongzong He was drinking, and there was a well-dressed Empress Wei sitting beside him, the years did not seem to have left too many traces on this woman, she was still radiant and charming, and behind the two stood several maidservants and eunuchs who served the two.
Li Tan raised his head and chest, and came slowly, and suddenly called the old man's eyes to light up, and the wine bottle in his hand was put on the horizontal case with a "snap", and he immediately made a gesture to get up, and the two young eunuchs behind him immediately went to help him up, Li Tan saw this scene, and was shocked why the emperor Li Xian was a little different from the image in his memory, because in Li Guoer's memory, he left the palace for only two months, and although Li Xian was blessed at that time, he was not as old and haggard as at this time And Li Tan looked carefully, the eyes were sunken, the mouth was dry, and the footsteps were empty, obviously it was kidney deficiency, and in the blink of an eye, she knew that it was estimated that this Li Xian was addicted to lust, three thousand beauties in the harem, and sang songs every night, so people age quickly The two of them were separated by Li Xian, and Li Tan and Li Chongmao stopped, bowed their jaws and said: "Anyang and Chongmao visit their father."
Li Xian was hobbled by two young eunuchs, and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, Guo'er, you can be regarded as safe and secure, it really worries me, the world is sinister, or the palace is safe" When she spoke, Mei Ci Xiangxiang reached out to hold Li Tan's slender hand, she thought about it secretly, but still did not refuse, the old man held hands, walked to a table, Li Chongmao's eyes flashed a trace of disappointment, because although he was the crown prince, he had never asked the emperor to hold hands so favorably and sit down, looking at the backs of the two, his heart was full of jealousy and envy.
At this time, Empress Wei, who was eating by herself, also stopped her chopsticks, "snapped", and said in an unhappy mood: "Hmph, Princess Taiping, they are also rampant, Your Majesty, Guo'er has encountered so many dangers this time, it is these people who secretly send killers to trouble Guo'er, you can't spare them" Li Xian took Li Yan's tender hand, and when he heard this, he was startled, a trace of panic flashed in his eyebrows, and his right hand hurriedly sighed, looking at Empress Wei, who was very well maintained, and said hurriedly: "Queen, be careful that the wall has ears, don't talk nonsense, we have no evidence and no evidence, before the matter is clear, we can't mess around, we must calm down and wait and see what happens."
After a pause, Li Xian felt a little embarrassed, and said to himself: "That, we're not afraid of her, it's just that since Guo'er has returned safely, and Taiping is my sister, everyone is a family, she will definitely not assassinate her niece, hurt her family's feelings, govern with benevolence, convince people with virtue, and can't be like Emperor Yang" These words made Li Tan extremely surprised, because the dignified son of heaven was so timid and cowardly, which made him a little stunned, and Empress Wei was even more angry and trembling, a pair of proud twin peaks ups and downs, looking at Li Xian with an extremely disappointed look, but soon changed to a smile again, his lips opened slightly, and he raised his teeth lightly: "Okay, Your Majesty, let's not talk about these things as a family of four tonight, let's eat, hehe, it's not easy to get together in the future."
Empress Wei had something to say, which seemed to remind Li Xian, telling him to turn around and look at Li Xian, and said: "Guo'er, I heard that you like that Li Zulong's third son, what is Li Pan's character, is his talent outstanding martial arts, well, his father Li Zulong's martial arts are world-famous, and he is a generation of meritorious generals, the tiger father has no dogs, then Li Pan should be okay."
Li Xian was talking to himself the whole time, and did not give anyone a chance to interject, Li Jian also listened quietly and watched, but he secretly thought in his heart that this cheap emperor's father didn't seem to be in good health, and he had to take some time to use his true qi to recuperate.
After a while, Li Xian finally finished speaking, and Li Yan replied obediently: "Father, it's okay, Li Pan is fine."
Unbeknownst to her, her humble and gentle answer made Empress Wei very angry, rose up from the couch, and said in a loud voice: "What's very good, our daughter is beautiful and fragrant, and she is a princess, and the horse must be able to be civil and martial, and she must be the right person."
As he spoke, he lectured Li Tan again: "Guo'er, weren't you deceived by that stinky boy's rhetoric, no, Your Majesty, you have to order that Li Pan to be summoned to the Beijing Saint, we have to see for ourselves and help our daughter check it."
When Li Tan heard this, he knew that Empress Wei was strong, and the emperor couldn't suppress this woman, and sure enough, as she expected, Li Xian listened to Empress Wei's words, frowned, obviously didn't like Empress Wei's tone in his heart, but, said softly and casually: "The queen can't say that, Li Zulong invited Lu Zu to propose marriage, we can't go too far, then since Li Panguoer said that it is good, she is willing to marry, then let's go with the flow, let's eat, haha, the food is cold."
Empress Wei was furious, and wanted to be angry at the moment, but he took a cold breath, rushed back to the case angrily, and sat down to eat and drink.
Li Tan watched coldly, and secretly shouted that it was difficult for this Qing official to decide family affairs, not to mention that it was still the emperor's family's affairs, Emperor Li Xian obviously seemed powerless everywhere, and after eating Empress Wei's gun, he didn't let out a single fart.
Li Xian didn't care about this, shifted his focus to Li Yan, patted her hand, and said with a kind smile: "Guo'er, since you like it, the widow also wants to make you go well, I will arrange this matter, and I will definitely let you get married when the time comes, you have been out for two months, and your mother has been worried for two months, and she will not pour wine for her mother to coax her."
The voice fell, and Li Tan smiled and said, "Okay, father, you can sit too, it's quite tiring to stand." ” "Well, then you can help me up, and we'll eat together."
Li Xiandao.
This made Li Chongmao's heart turn up when he heard this, and he was extremely unhappy, so he had to watch Li Tan help Li Xian to go to the back table of Wei, pour himself a drink, and drink stuffy wine.
When Empress Wei saw Li Xian and Li Tan coming, the anger in her heart disappeared a lot, and she was busy getting up and waiting for the emperor.
For a meal, Li Tan ate okay, most of them were asked by Li Xian and Empress Wei, and she answered selectively, almost all of them were about Li Pan and some things that happened on the road In the dead of night, the lights are on.
After Li Tan finished eating, he walked back, and that Li Chongmaoye parted ways with him, and before he even finished eating, he couldn't help but find an excuse and left first.
"This palace is also too big, if it weren't for someone carrying a lantern to lead the way, I guess I would have lost my way."
While enjoying the scenery along the way, there is still an essential difference between the scenes in his mind and what he sees with his own eyes, just like there is an essential difference between looking at pictures and experiencing it in person.
On the ground, a strong and powerful air flow surged towards Li Tan who was standing on the edge of a pool of water, and with a "choking" sound, the air flow instantly arrived in front of Li Tan's eyes, which was a sword.
Li Tan hurriedly stood up, his body was in mid-air, and when the sword reached the bottom of his feet, he cast a jack pendant and stepped on the sword body with both feet.
The momentum of the long sword gave her a step, and she instantly lost some strength, and after shooting a certain distance, she made two "poofs" and inserted it on the ground behind Li Tan.
Li Tan floated to the ground and shouted: "What people" Several eunuchs and palace maids were also pale with horror, and hurriedly shouted: "Come on, there are assassins" At this moment, Li Tan also saw that the sword just now did not mean to hurt her, it was more of a temptation, in the deep palace, there were actually masters who wanted to tempt, and it was also a joy to call her, and she wanted to see the legendary master of the Great Interior, and suddenly heard this group of people, maids, and eunuchs shouting to call the Qianniu Guard Forbidden Army, and hurriedly shouted: "Shut up, you guys step back first" This group of palace maids and maidservants did not dare to touch her orders, so they retreated to the side and made room for it "Little princess, your skills are very agile, and you really worked hard to study" With a thin and powerful, sharp but not sharp voice, a tall and mighty eunuch in a purple robe appeared in front of Li Tan, who was the number one master in Ouchi Yang Siqiao At first glance, Li Tan couldn't help but think of a super capable eunuch Wu Zetian abdicated, Li Xian came to power, during which there was a coup d'état led by the crown prince Li Chongrun, that is, Li Tan's eldest brother, to lead the forbidden army to force the palace.
The rebels are powerful, but there are no generals in the palace who dare to take the lead, Li Xian, who was already timid and afraid, was so frightened that he began to cry.
Just like Guan Yun's long glass of wine and slashing Huaxiong, Yang Siqiao hacked the rebel vanguard to death with a knife on the battlefield, which severely damaged the enemy's morale and eventually caused the rebels to collapse on their own, but what is really terrifying about this person is his cruel methods, killing people like hemp, no, it is most appropriate to describe it as psychopathic, because after this person put down the rebellion, he killed almost all the rebels, and also piled up the corpses to deter other people with ulterior intentions Today, Li Tan didn't know how to provoke this evil star, so he looked at Yang Siqiao coldly and said: "Father-in-law Yang hasn't gone to bed so late, it seems that you have something to find me, it's better to say it directly" Yang Siqiao looked at Li Tan in a daze, and sighed in a low voice: "Yang heard that the princess returned to the palace, so he came to see you."
Li Tan glared at Yang Siqiao tightly and said: "Now that you're not watching, I'll leave first."
With that, Li Tan turned around and left.
Yang Siqiao hurriedly said: "Wait" Li Tan looked back and asked, "What do you want?"
Yang Siqiao said: "Just now I passed through this place, and I saw that your steps were light and elegant, obviously your martial arts have improved a lot, so I came to see you."
Li Tan was slightly stunned and said: "Oh, then why did you stab me with your sword" Yang Siqiao smiled faintly and said: "Little princess, your light skills are good, and your martial arts seem to be as good as the true legend of the fairy girl, I don't know if you can learn from it."
Li Tan laughed coldly: "Hey, this palace is a princess, what identity do you have to discuss with this palace?"
Yang Siqiao was not annoyed, and said: "People who practice martial arts, they are fierce and aggressive, we are all the same kind of people, I guess the princess must be very eager to try it with a strong opponent, I believe you will not let go of this opportunity easily" Li Tan said: "That's a good reason to say that" Yang Siqiao pointed to the sword that was stuck in the ground: "Fists and feet are still weapons, point to point."
Li Tan said seriously: "Then let's punch and kick" After that, luck feet, the figure rose steeply, shook his wrist, suddenly bullied forward, and with a stroke of his arrogant fingers, a flash of light swept into the air, showing a misty arc of light, "boom", the phantom yang sword finger pounced on Yang Siqiao at the same time, and said coquettishly: "Look at the move" Yang Siqiao made a mistake at his feet, twisted his body and twisted his step, dodged and dodged, nodded and smiled: "This finger is strong and light, which makes it good" Li Tan said loudly: "Thank you for the praise, come again" As he spoke, his right hand shook his arm and went straight to Yang Siqiao's chest, and the brilliant and dazzling Phantom Yang Sword Finger flashed away, and with Li Tan's water moving light skill, he quickly displayed a few phantoms, so that people couldn't see which one was the real Li Tan Yang Siqiao did not dodge or dodge, his right hand came out quickly, "Peng" roared, and the two surging true qi struck together, forming a strong wind, and suddenly the sand and stones flew, the ground moved and the trees shook, and Li Tan, who was wearing a long skirt, was also whistling by the clothes blown by this strong wind, and the two directly fought with internal force However, no matter how Li Tan urged the internal force, hitting Yang Simiao's right hand, like a mud cow entering the sea, dissipating the invisibility, she was shocked at the moment, this person was so deep in internal force, he knew that he was not an opponent, his figure flashed and swayed, he floated back, looked at Yang Simiao vigilantly, and said curiously: "Gonggong Yang is powerful, this palace is not an opponent, if there is something, it is better to say it clearly."
Yang Siqiao stared at Li Yan, his right hand sucked at the long sword inserted in the ground, and with a "bang" sound, the long sword immediately flew out and fell into his hand, he immediately turned around, walked with his hands in his hands, and said slowly: "Little princess, martial arts are long, just like life, everything should not be rushed, even if it is strong for a while, it will not be strong for a lifetime."
Li Tan frowned and thought about it when he heard this, and only came back to his senses after half a ring, raised his eyes and looked forward to it, and found that Yang Siqiao had already left, and there was only a group of eunuchs and palace maids standing in the cold wind waiting for her orders, but his words lingered in Li Tan's mind, lingering, repeatedly thinking about the deep meaning of the last paragraph, and said secretly: "Then Yang Siqiao must have seen something famous, there may be something wrong with my Shui Yuan, so he deliberately tested me tonight and reminded him, what is the problem?"
Li Tan is not stupid, and after a little thought, he probably realized that Yang Siqiao was kind enough to remind her, but he wondered why he didn't name her directly It wasn't until she returned to the princess's mansion where she lived and saw Chunli who had been waiting for a long time that she was suddenly pleasantly surprised to think that Yang Siqiao had mentioned the name of He Xiangu, and secretly thought that this person must have seen the shortcomings of her martial arts, and was very taboo that Li Tan was someone else's apprentice, and she couldn't tell the truth about the problem, isn't this just a slap in the face of her master After thinking about this, Li Tan's mood suddenly fell to the bottom again, because the root cause had not yet been found In the middle of the night, Li Tan was lying on the bed wearing a cool belly pocket, tossing and turning.
Yang Siqiao's words echoed in Li Yan's mind, recalling the details, but he still found nothing, and in the end, he couldn't resist the fatigue and fell asleep. t1706231537:
