Chapter 370 Seeing Li Zhi for the Last Time

"Those who play tricks and schemes cannot see the light, so they must hide in the dark."

"If the previous generation didn't go out in person, but was as cautious as Shang Gong showed in Luoyang, then with his consciousness-only cultivation, the world is so big that no one can do anything about it, and I can't do anything about it."

"Perhaps it is because this person is too strong in martial arts, full of confidence, and because of his growing power, he will gradually forget himself and finally end up like this."

"This person's evil will be rewarded with evil, but you have inherited this identity, so you must remember the lessons learned from the past. After all, what you want to do is different from this person, and you can't make mistakes."

Li Yan dragged "Zuo Ming"'s body to the side, covered it with a cloth, and prepared to bury it with the previous severed limbs.

No matter what grievances and grievances there were during life, ashes to ashes, dust to dust, it is right to give a burial place and let grass grow on the grave.

However, the remaining power of this guy must be managed well, otherwise it will cause chaos.

That's why Yang Zaiwei is very important. Li Yan doesn't want him to be beheaded and killed, just like the corpse in front of him.

This is not unfounded worry. Yang Zaiwei is an assassin, and he is used to fighting alone. If he is gone, where can he find the third generation?

Hearing the care, especially the title of "previous generation", Yang Zaiwei was a little uncomfortable.

Then he realized that he did not enter the role, nodded and said: "Understood, what should we do next?"

Li Yan pondered and said: "What this person just said explained a lot of doubts before, but some of the content is still open to discussion, and some things are not quite right...Of course, the most urgent thing is the saint. I didn't know what was going on in Daming Palace. , and the previous generation just said that half of the revenge has been avenged..."

Yang Zaiwei didn't feel sad, but he could not help but sigh: "It seems that the limit of a saint is only in these two days."

Not to mention that the deadline is approaching, Li Yan even has secret speculations, after all, he knows Empress Wu too well.

That is a person who can do anything for the sake of power, and his methods are even more ruthless than Li Zhi.

The key is that Empress Wu is very resilient. Even if the previous ruling power is taken away, and her confidantes run away and rebel, I am afraid she will not give up.

After all, no matter how bad the situation is, can you be a nun in Ganye Temple?

Li Yan quickly made a decision: "You pick out some subordinates from the previous generation and create a chance for me to enter the palace. If the saint is still there, I want to see him for the last time."

Yang Zaiwei nodded, and suddenly asked, "What about your master?"

Li Yan had an idea long ago: "Let's let nature take its course..."

He had indeed guessed that the dumb uncle was the eldest grandson Wuji, and thought it was absurd, so he asked his mother Xie to draw a portrait of the former eldest grandson Wuji.

Once the portrait was completed, he could tell at a glance that it was the dumb uncle. Although his demeanor and temperament were very different, his facial features were difficult to change.

It is difficult to explain why the appearance is so young, and the answer was later obtained from the portrait of Master Xuanzang.

Before Xuanzang passed away in his sixties, it was as if he was less than forty years old. Buddhists believed that it was a sign of a holy monk, but Li Yan knew that it might be the magic of martial arts. It has the function of delaying aging.

Combined with Master Yuji's words, those who practice Consciousness-Only Strength cannot also cultivate Baishengjin, and the reason why Uncle Ya admits that he can't do Baishengjin has also been found.

It's a coup for this man to become a dumb uncle. Even if the search is carried out, he must be looking for an old man in his sixties or seventies. No one would have thought that the eldest grandson Wuji, the number one hero of Lingyan Pavilion who was once all-powerful, was a man with a child in Liangzhou. Disabled in his forties.

Li Yan himself thought that the dumb uncle was less than fifty years old, and he had been practicing kung fu with a seventy-year-old man since he was a child.

He now understands that if the family background attribute is added, the dumb uncle may appear in front of him, entrusting the old grandson Wuji's connections with the Guanzhong gentry, but he doesn't want to do that: "I admire Master Xuanzang more and more now, Not only to repay the kindness by saving people, but also to avoid future troubles, since my master is willing to let go of the past and avoid further twists and turns, it is naturally a good thing, don't involve him again."

Yang Zaiwei thought of the disfigured appearance of "Zuo Ming", who was neither human nor ghost, his mouth moved, and finally asked: "What about the matter in Lingnan? Now it seems that it is the root of everything..."

Li Yan said coldly: "Of course I won't forget, if it wasn't for the saint's order, it would have been a massacre of the thousand-member Changsun clan by murderers."

"The Changsun family was exiled to Lingnan. The harsh environment there is actually very difficult for people to survive. Many people will die of illness one after another without doing anything. But the other party wants to cut grass and roots so cruelly. It can be described as insane."

"No matter how long the time is and no matter how the evidence is destroyed, I will do my best to find out the murderer!"

After the death of the previous generation, Yang Zaiwei's knot in his heart was untied, but he hoped that the other party's bitter hatred would also be settled, so he nodded and said: "Okay! I will catch Ashina Huan and Jin Zhizhao, and take them around Chang'an Turn around, I hope that 'Sa Ming'... hope that my subordinates will contact me quickly."

Li Yandao: "You go to the northern imperial city first. If no one contacts you, then go to the West Market. Jin Zhizhao will leave it to me. I will try not to do it now if I can. I will let this man do it for me."

The two acted separately.

Ashina Ring is easy to find, wait at the designated place.

Not because of honesty, but because Yang Zaiwei's specially prepared poison was still swallowed in his stomach, so he couldn't run if he wanted to survive.

As a result, Ashina Huan, who was feeling anxious, saw "Zuo Ming" gown fluttering and falling from the sky, and he peed in fright.

After witnessing the previous battle, he was obviously not injured, but he didn't even have the courage to resist. He knelt down on the spot and kowtowed for mercy: "Master, spare me! Master, spare me!"

"I knew that Li Yuanfang was not your opponent, he would only play tricks and not let me sleep!"

"Yang Zaiwei also didn't know the heights of heaven and earth, and forced me with poison pills. The two of them conspired with a group of inner guards, but they were still broken by Master's magical skills..."

Yang Zaiwei thought that he was almost trapped to death by this person, and smiled coldly: "This time you have fully experienced the power of consciousness-only power, but unfortunately you can't learn it!"

Ashina froze, tears welled up from the corners of his eyes.

Yang Zaiwei clapped it with a palm.

Ashina Huan trembled all over, did not dare to resist, and was directly knocked out.

Yang Zaiwei mentioned that this guy who appeared to be a traitor was also a traitor in essence, and began to wait for his subordinates to come and look for him.

On the other side, Jin Zhizhao heard Ashina Huan's wailing not far away, guessed that the winner might be "Zuo Ming", and shivered.

Her eyes were full of fear, but she still held the knife at her waist, ready to face the coming of death.

Li Yan really came, walked into the courtyard with the steps of Di Renjie, and left a word: "Let's go!"

Jin Zhizhao was stunned, and then exulted: "Li Yuanfang, you won? You won, right!"

Li Yan didn't answer but instead asked, "Have you recovered from your injury?"

Jin Zhizhao said: "'Zoming' healed me, I also healed my wounds just now, and I'm basically healed... Did 'Zuo Ming' escape? Need to search for 'Zuo Ming''s whereabouts?"

Li Yan looked at her: "Do you dare to search?"

Jin Zhizhao smiled miserably, and drew out his knife: "I really want to dare not, but what's the use of that? In order to survive, 'Zuo Ming' must be found and killed!"

Li Yan nodded slightly: "Very good, find a curtain and put it on, come with me!"

……

at the same time.

In Daming Palace.

The courtiers walked quickly towards the Hall of Central Harmony, with shock and grief on their faces.

Grief is a must, and you have to be sad if you are not sad. Shock is the truth.

These courtiers who stayed in Chang'an never imagined that the Daming Palace had been silent before, and suddenly there was news that the saint was critically ill.

It's not that it's going to die soon, but it's already going to die.

For such a big event, all officials above the seventh rank in Chang'an, no matter they are old or not, must be driven into the palace.

Li Yiyan and Li Dejian seemed to be right next to each other. When they saw each other, they immediately adjusted their direction and came together.

Both of them were from the Li family in Longxi, and they both had a very deep relationship with Li Yan, so they just got together to discuss in a low voice.

Li Yiyan has a straight temper, and said in a cold voice: "No wonder the imperial doctor has not been able to return to the residence recently. I am afraid that the empress has been prepared for a long time, and she has not informed the prince for a long time. She has a different heart!"

Li Dejian has been cautious ever since he was implicated, and now he couldn't help but say: "If this continues, I'm afraid something will change!"

In fact, when the emperor died of illness, it is a routine operation to hold back. Zhizhi succeeded to the throne logically.

It's good now, Li Zhi is going to be gone, Luoyang's prince Li Hong doesn't know at all, the news of Daming Palace is strictly sealed, and no news is revealed.

Originally, Li Hong had been the prince for many years, and he was in charge of Jian Guo. Succession to the throne should be a very smooth thing, but this has added some variables.

Li Yiyan was originally opposed to the Queen's Party, and at this moment his anger was even higher: "No, you can't let the queen go on like this!"

Li Dejian was a little apprehensive, but he took a deep breath, and finally said: "This matter is related to the country, we will go together!"

Li Yiyan looked at this nephew with admiration: "Good!"

As a result, the two of them were full of enthusiasm, and when they were outside the hall of Zhonghe, an order was issued to ask the officials to wait outside the hall.

Can't get in at all.

The courtiers were so anxious that even the censors couldn't care less about their manners, and stuck their heads out to look inside.

You can vaguely see the figure of the imperial doctor, as well as Li Dan and the little princess. Due to their young age, they did not go to Luoyang.

After an unknown amount of time, Li Zhi, who was lying on the tent, slowly opened his eyes and looked at the crowd: "You are all here... Let the ministers come in..."

The imperial doctors all fell silent.

There is no doubt that this is the flashback.

Even the youngest little princess realized it at this moment. Tears were rolling in her eyes, and Li Dan even covered her mouth, desperately suppressing her crying.

Although Li Zhi said to let the officials come in, Empress Wu next to him did not make a sound, and he did not continue to ask. An old and feeble voice sounded, revealing a trace of trance: "Last night... I seem to have heard someone call me good... It has been a long time No one has called my name..."

"For good...for good...I can hear it...that's my uncle's voice...how can I remember him?"

"Thinking about it now... I did it too relentlessly back then... Call back the eldest grandson from Lingnan... let his heir inherit the title of Duke Zhao... inherit the incense of my mother's family..."

"Oh... Uncle... Uncle... I hope we meet down below... Don't blame me..."

Hearing this, Li Dan finally couldn't bear it any longer, and cried out loudly, "Aye!"

The little princess burst into tears when she saw it: "Aye, don't leave us!!"

Li Zhi wanted to raise his hand and touch the heads of his sons and daughters, but he was powerless. He could only smile wryly, continue to arrange the business, and said slowly: "After I go... I will be buried in seven days... When the prince comes back... that is Located in front of the coffin...the garden mausoleum system...frugality...There are undecided military and state affairs...some undecided..."

Having said that, Li Zhi stopped slightly, and everyone in the hall subconsciously held their breath, including Empress Wu.

The still radiant queen stared at Li Zhi with tenderness, sincerity and confidence in her eyes.

Li Zhi's eyes flickered, and just as he was about to speak, a shout suddenly came from outside the hall: "The inner guard should make Li Yuanfang capture the thieves, please see the saint!"

Empress Wu's face changed.
