The experience of living in the cold palace.

Chapter 255: Strength exposed, rage rising into the sky! (Two in one, please subscribe)

Li Xuan frowned slightly, feeling uncomfortable from the bottom of his heart.

Although he doesn't care about Daqian's future, what will happen to him.

However, if he were asked to take the initiative to persecute Zhongliang, he really couldn't do it.

He has practiced until now and has killed people, but he thinks he has never killed or harmed a good person.

To seek is to have a clear conscience and clear thoughts.

If you can only get promotion if you pass the so-called loyalty test of Empress Dowager Xia.

So for this position, it’s okay not to be promoted.

"I really don't know much about Pei Yuanzhong, but I don't have time to investigate. The Queen Mother asked me to take action at night. Eunuch Zhao, Eunuch Zhang, what are your plans?" Li Xuan couldn't help but ask.

Zhang Dafu said: "Although our family is not a good person, we really can't do anything like persecuting Zhongliang."

Zhao Hao breathed a sigh of relief: "Previously, when Wei Gong took control of Dongchang, he did not do these things. Although there were also party struggles, Wei Gong often showed mercy to those who were loyal to the country and worked for the people. They will kill them all. This time, the Queen Mother and the Emperor are obviously aiming to eliminate dissidents. Once Pei Yuanzhong is caught, I am afraid there will be no good end."

Li Xuan nodded and said: "Well, it's just that if I don't do it, someone else will naturally do it. When the time comes, Pei Yuanzhong's end will still be miserable."

"So, what is Eunuch Li's plan?" Zhang Dafu couldn't help but ask.

Li Xuan looked calmly and said: "You two, gather some trustworthy subordinates and follow me to Pei Mansion in the evening. Once I confirm that Pei Yuanzhong is indeed a loyal minister, there is no harm in letting him go."

Zhao Hao frowned: "Eunuch Li, then you are violating the Queen Mother's will. If you are discovered, you will be beheaded!"

"Those two, are you willing to do it with me?" Li Xuan couldn't help but smile.

With his current strength, as long as he wants to leave, he can go anywhere in the world.

after all.

He is now only one step away from comprehending the artistic conception of martial arts!

There is no need to rely on the large arsenal anymore.

The only place that is attractive to him now in the palace is the ladies in the cold palace.

However, rather than letting himself go against his original intention and do things he doesn't want to do, it would be better for him to give up life in the palace.

As for Zhao Hao and Zhang Dafu, if this matter is really exposed, Li Xuan will naturally take all the responsibility.

of course.

If the two of them were unwilling to do it, Li Xuan would not force it.

Zhao Hao said: "If I were greedy for life and afraid of death, I would not join Dongchang, and Wei Gong would not want to see Zhongliang framed, so I will do it with you!"

Zhang Dafu also threw his hands at each other: "Our family is what we are today because of Wei Gong's promotion. We can't just do double-dealing after Wei Gong leaves, right? Just do it, but you have to arrange the route in advance. , let Pei Yuanzhong escape the guards patrolling the city and escape smoothly."

Zhao Hao said: "Let me arrange this matter."

"Then it's settled. At midnight tonight, we will gather in the East Factory and set off to Pei Mansion." Li Xuan made the decision.

Zhang Dafu and Zhao Hao naturally had no objections, so they said 'good' and left.

Li Xuan looked at Zhang Dafu and Zhao Hao's leaving figures and sighed softly.

‘The tree wants to be quiet but the wind is not stopping. In this court, no matter how careful you are, you will inevitably be involved in the whirlpool. Staying alone is easier said than done. ’

Li Xuan really wanted to reach the realm of martial saint without showing off.

However, he was unwilling to violate his true intentions.

If his thoughts are not clear, how can he survive the thunder tribulation that follows?

You must know that going through the thunder tribulation is the most dangerous thing. If you have worries in your heart and have inner demons when going through the thunder tribulation, it will be the end of your body and soul.

‘It’s so difficult to have a clear conscience and be at ease. I’m afraid I can only truly achieve it when I become the best in the world! ’

Li Xuan opened the large formation in the courtyard and continued to practice.

The reason why he was willing to help Pei Yuanzhong actually had some selfish motives of his own.

He now understands the artistic conception of martial arts, and is only one step away from succeeding, which requires some external stimulation.

Helping Pei Yuanzhong may help him realize what his goal is and what he needs to do most!

Only with beliefs and goals can you condense your own momentum, and then melt this momentum into your own martial arts, thus forming your own martial arts artistic conception!

Bang bang bang bang!

Li Xuan's Gang Qi surged out, forming a blurry scene behind him, revealing a boundless domineering power!

Only when this scene gradually became clearer could we truly understand the artistic conception of martial arts.

……

night.

Child hours.

Li Xuan had already changed into Dongchang's clothes and left the cold palace.

Not long after, he arrived at Dongchang Camp.

now.

There was a group of people, about sixty people, standing upright in the school grounds, ready.

The leaders are naturally Zhao Hao and Zhang Dafu.

Among these people, in addition to Zhao Hao and Zhang Dafu, whose strength has reached the late stage of the Xiantian realm, there are about [-] people who have reached the Xiantian realm.

The rest are all warriors in the acquired bone forging realm.

Zhao Hao said: "Eunuch Li, these people are my and Eunuch Zhang's confidants. Today's matter will never be leaked."

"Tonight, we will be dispatched by Eunuch Li." Zhang Dafu said.

Naturally, he had heard about Li Xuan's breakthrough to the Grandmaster realm, and his initial surprise turned into admiration!

He watched Li Xuan grow up step by step.

This speed of promotion is not much faster than that of Wei Gong back then.

and so.

He and Zhao Hao were naturally willing to take Li Xuan as the leader.

"Thanks to Eunuch Zhao and Eunuch Zhang, our family will be the leaders for the time being tonight."

Li Xuan did not refuse, looked at the factory guards behind Zhao Hao and Zhang Dafu, and said:

"Everyone, I think Eunuch Zhao and Eunuch Zhang have already told you what we are going to do tonight, so we won't go into details anymore. When we go to Pei Mansion later, you just need to seal off the surrounding area. Without our order , no killing is allowed."

When a group of factory guards heard this, they shouted: "Yes!"

"set off!"

Li Xuan and others rode on the Huoyun Horse equipped by Dongchang and went straight to Pei Mansion.

After half an hour.

Li Xuan led a group of people including Zhao Hao and Zhang Dafu and appeared in front of a mansion.

The entire mansion is not prosperous, it is just an ordinary courtyard with three entrances and three exits.

There is not even a nursing home at the entrance.

It is hard to imagine that this is the residence of the Minister of Household Affairs.

You must know that the Minister of Hubu is a senior official of the third rank, and his status in the Ministry of Hubu is second only to the Minister of Hubu.

and.

The Ministry of Household Affairs controls matters such as land, taxation, household registration, military supplies, salaries, food and wages, financial revenue and expenditure, etc. It can be said to be a huge advantage.

The Pei Mansion can keep such a low profile, and it does look like it has a breeze on its sleeves.

"Eunuch Zhao, you lead the team to seal off the surrounding areas. Eunuch Zhang and I will lead the team in."

Li Xuan glanced at Zhao Hao standing aside.

"Yes."

Zhao Hao understood and immediately led more than thirty people to surround the entire Pei Mansion.

Seeing this, Li Xuan took out the search warrant and knocked on the door of Pei Mansion.

"Who?"

Not long after, a lazy voice came from inside.

squeak-

A boy opened the courtyard gate.

He was still a little sleepy at first, but when he saw the large group of people wearing Dongchang soap robes and holding torches in front of him, he immediately woke up, with a look of horror in his eyes.

"Official, official, I wonder why you came to Pei's house this late at night?" the boy said tremblingly.

Li Xuan took out the search warrant and said: "Someone reported that Pei Yuanzhong and Pei Shilang were using power for personal gain. Our family is specially ordered to investigate Pei's house. Let's control this young man first."

"Yes."

present.

A factory worker stepped forward and tied the boy's hands behind his back with three strokes.

"Follow our family and bring everyone in the Pei family to the front yard!"

Li Xuan took Zhang Dafu and other factory guards and walked into Pei's house.

Come to the front yard.

Li Xuan waved his hand: "Search!"

"Yes."

In an instant.

A group of factory guards rushed to various rooms in the yard!

Soon.

In various courtyards, there were bursts of yelling and even sounds of fighting.

Li Xuan stood in the front yard, his spiritual mind sweeping across the entire courtyard, taking in a panoramic view of the surrounding scenes.

in one of the rooms.

Bang!

Zhang Dafu and a young man were fighting fiercely.

The turbulent inner energy is like a rushing river, constantly colliding with each other.

Boom!

The two of them moved around and soon reached the front yard.

Seeing this, Li Xuan couldn't help but pick up a stone and flick it with his finger.

Whoosh!

The stone flew out like a cannonball, hitting the young man who was fighting Zhang Dafu with lightning speed.

In an instant.

The young man's acupuncture points seemed to be stuck and he could no longer move. Zhang Dafu slapped him to the ground with the back of a knife.

Zhang Dafu tied up the young man, raised him in front of Li Xuan, and said:

"Eunuch Li's martial arts skills are already superb. I admire him very much."

If Li Xuan hadn't used stones to prick the young man's acupuncture points just now, it would still be somewhat difficult for him to capture the young man.

"Thank you, Eunuch Zhang." Li Xuan looked indifferently and glanced at the young man who was tied up with five flowers on the ground. "At such a young age, you can practice to the late stage of Xiantian. You have some talent. Judging from your appearance, you should be the son of Minister Pei. It’s Pei Wenbin.”

He knew that Pei Yuanzhong only had one son, named Pei Wenbin, who was this year's new Jinshi, and he was also ranked second in the martial arts rankings. He could be said to be both civil and military.

Pei Wenbin kept twisting his body and yelled: "You are from Dongchang, why did you break into my Pei's house without asking about the indiscriminate actions? I must let my father participate in your book!"

Hearing this, Li Xuan couldn't help but smile: "Mr. Pei, we have a search warrant, and it doesn't count as trespassing. We advise you to be more honest, otherwise our Dongchang has the right to kill first and report later!"

"Grudge, what do you want to do?!" Pei Wenbin knew that the person coming was evil, so he struggled even more fiercely.

at this time.

One by one, the guards of the Dongchang also brought everyone from the Pei family to the front yard.

There were not many people, probably only about twenty people!

One of the gray-haired old women couldn't help crying when she saw Pei Wenbin being tied up:

"Bin'er, what do you want to do? Let go of my Bin'er." Pei Wenbin immediately said: "Mother, you don't have to worry, I'm afraid these gelding dogs won't dare to do anything!"

"Bin'er, don't be rude."

An old man wearing a white nightgown, with white beard and hair, but an unusually tall figure, looked at Li Xuan calmly:

"This father-in-law, I wonder why he came to my Pei Mansion with such a big fanfare in the middle of the night?"

Li Xuan looked calm and said: "Servant Pei, someone has accused you of corruption, perverting the law, and abusing power for personal gain. We are here to search your residence according to the emperor's order."

"You guys are farting. My father has worked conscientiously for so many years and has never formed a party for personal gain, let alone using power for personal gain. This is a false accusation!" Pei Wenbin shouted.

Li Xuan smiled: "Yes or no, you can't just say it with your mouth."

"I have acted with integrity and a clear conscience throughout my life. Since my father-in-law is here to search me, please do as you please." Pei Yuanzhong spoke frankly.

Li Xuan waved his hand: "Find all the valuable items and various letters in the mansion for our family."

"Yes."

Upon hearing this, a group of factory guards immediately began searching every room in the mansion.

After a stick of incense.

A group of factory guards moved the small boxes one by one to the front yard.

Li Xuan glanced at these boxes. The total amount of money was only a hundred taels.

This is really pitiful for a senior official of the third grade.

After all, the monthly salary for a third-rank official is almost one hundred taels.

As for these letters, they are also documents and newspapers from various places, as well as some memorials to the emperor to advise him.

Li Xuan glanced at it and put it down, looked at Pei Yuanzhong and said:

"Haha, Minister Pei, let me tell you the truth. We know that you are a good official. However, tonight, regardless of whether you are a good official or not, you will be punished for your crimes. Who made you disobey the will? It’s a double act.”

When Pei Yuanzhong heard this, he sighed:

"The emperor requested to increase taxes and increase treasury expenditures in various places to satisfy his personal desires. How can I agree? Land reform is also unrealistic. This will only lead to more uprisings in various places. When the time comes, we will It’s not far from destruction.”

Li Xuan said: "These are not within the jurisdiction of our family. However, if Minister Pei can agree not to openly violate the court's policies in the future and properly handle His Majesty's affairs, our family can let you and your family go." , otherwise if you go to Dongchang’s prison, you will have to shed your skin even if you don’t die!”

Pei Yuanzhong said solemnly: "Since I became an official, I have never thought of being able to escape unscathed. Father-in-law, I cannot agree to your request."

Li Xuan looked calm: "Sister Pei, if you don't think about yourself, don't you think about the rest of the family?"

Pei Yuanzhong said: "There are no people in my Pei family who are greedy for life and afraid of death, so my father-in-law does not need to threaten me with my family members."

Pei Wenbin said: "Yes, castrated dog, you framed Zhongliang, and sooner or later you will be punished by heaven and earth. If you have the guts, kill me now!"

"Clap clap-"

When Li Xuan heard this, he couldn't help but clapped his hands.

"Okay, Mr. Pei is indeed a loyal servant of the court. We admire him. Haha, let Mr. Pei and others loose their bonds."

"Yes."

Upon hearing this, the factory guards immediately untied the ropes that tied Pei Yuanzhong and others.

Seeing this, Pei Yuanzhong frowned and said somewhat unclearly:

"Father-in-law, what is this?"

Li Xuan said calmly: "Sister Pei, our family just wanted to test you, and we have offended you so much."

Paused.

He continued: "However, it is true that the emperor wants to punish you. You have to leave the capital tonight, otherwise you will be killed. Our family has arranged an escape route for you. Mr. Pei will be waiting for you." You can change your clothes and leave quickly."

Pei Yuanzhong raised his eyebrows sharply: "Father-in-law, why did you do this? Once the matter is leaked, you will not be able to escape the blame, right?!"

Li Xuan smiled: "Although our family is not a good person, we also know that a gentleman does and does not do something, and we don't want to do something against our will like framing Zhongliang. Is this reason enough?"

Hearing this, Pei Wenbin showed a look of shame on his face: "I didn't expect that my father-in-law is actually a person with a righteous heart. I just offended my father-in-law with my words. I hope my father-in-law will not blame me."

Li Xuan waved his hand: "Ignorance is not a crime. You go and change clothes quickly. Time is running out. Leave as soon as possible."

Pei Yuanzhong frowned and shook his head: "I don't want to abscond in fear of crime and bear the infamy of a fugitive. Father-in-law, please take me back."

Li Xuan was slightly startled when he heard this.

He didn't expect that Pei Yuanzhong valued his reputation more than his life.

Would rather stay and wait for death than abscond.

Zhang Dafu couldn't help but said: "Servant Pei, you can keep the green hills without worrying about having firewood. You can keep your useful body and find another way out in the future. If you die, you will lose everything."

Pei Yuanzhong wanted to say something more, but Li Xuan raised his hand and knocked him unconscious.

Li Xuan looked at Pei Wenbin aside and said:

"It's useless to talk more now. You can take your father out of the city first, and then you can slowly persuade him."

He knew that Pei Yuanzhong's loyal character was engraved in his bones and could not be expressed in just one or two sentences.

We can only knock it out first and then send it away.

"Okay, thank you, father-in-law."

Pei Wenbin was obviously a man who knew how to adapt. He bowed his hand and immediately arranged for the servant to go back to his room and change his clothes.

Soon.

This group of people packed up.

Li Xuan immediately asked Zhao Hao to put the group of people into the carriage and drive towards the city gate.

"We have arranged for people to pick them up outside the city. We will send them to Jinzhou when the time comes. That is Princess Hongying's territory, and someone will take them in." Zhang Dafu said.

Li Xuan nodded and said nothing more.

Princess Hongying has always been close to Dongchang.

It makes sense that Zhang Dafu and others are close to Princess Hongying.

things work out.

Li Xuan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, feeling that his thoughts were clearer.

A group of people mounted their horses and drove slowly towards the imperial city.

however.

Just when Li Xuan and others were approaching the imperial city.

An alley entrance.

Tatata!

Waves of low footsteps came from the shadows.

"Who?!"

Zhang Dafu and others immediately drew out the long knives at their waists with alert expressions.

soon.

A tall figure walked out of the shadows.

He held a bloody human head in his left hand, and dragged a broken body with his right hand, stopping not far from Li Xuan and others.

Zhang Dafu looked at the broken body, his eyes instantly turned red:

"Old Zhao!"

Li Xuan's pupils also shrank suddenly.

The head held in this figure's hand was that of Pei Yuanzhong who had just left.

Zhao Hao was also held in his hands like a dead dog, and he didn't know whether he was alive or dead!

This figure raised his gloomy eyes and looked at Li Xuan and others:

"I am Shi Longguang, commander of the Jinyi Guards. Pei Yuanzhong and other fugitives have been executed. What crime should you be guilty of if you secretly let go of the criminals arrested by the court?!"

Zhang Dafu immediately drew his sword and said sternly:

"Damn it, what did you do to Lao Zhao?!"

talking room.

He was about to rush over on horseback, but was stopped by Li Xuan.

Li Xuan had already noticed that the person in front of him had a very strong aura inadvertently. He was most likely a martial saint!

"What do you want?" Li Xuan said calmly, "I did this alone. Eunuch Zhao was sent out of the city because of my intimidation. You let him go first."

He could see that Zhao Hao was not dead, but his breath was extremely weak. If he did not receive treatment, his life might be in danger.

Shi Longguang chuckled:

"The emperor has long seen that you are rebellious, so he ordered me to keep an eye on you. Unexpectedly, there was an unexpected gain. Tsk tsk, Eunuch Li, you said that the Queen Mother values ​​you so much, but you don't want to do this despite your great future. Things are really chilling.”

Li Xuan looked at the bloody human head in Shi Longguang's hand and the mangled Zhao Hao, and an unknown anger suddenly rose from his chest for some unknown reason.

He clenched his fists, and the killing intent in his body almost turned into reality.

This murderous intention was accompanied by a strong look of annoyance.

If I had just been more cautious and followed along, this wouldn't have happened.

Why did Pei Yuanzhong, a man who was so dedicated to his country and people, end up like this!

What is going on in this world? !

Shi Longguang looked at Li Xuan and sneered:

"Hey, you said that you people have become lackeys, why are you talking about justice? In the end, you won't end up with this surnamed Pei."

talking room.

He reached out and threw Pei Yuanzhong's bloody head at Li Xuan's feet.

The blood left a trail of blood on the ground.

Pei Yuanzhong's head has his eyes open, as if he is telling something silently.

Li Xuan glanced at Pei Yuanzhong's head, raised his head, his eyes were scarlet, and cold handwriting full of murderous intent spat out from between his teeth.

"You! Damn! Die!"

"Ok?"

Shi Longguang looked at Li Xuan's scarlet eyes and couldn't help but feel cold all over.

An inexplicable crisis emerged from his heart.

"Eunuch Li, why, you still want to fight me?!" Shi Longguang narrowed his eyes.

However, his voice just fell.

Swish!

Li Xuan's figure disappeared instantly.

"So fast!"

Shi Longguang looked stern.

When he reacts.

Li Xuan had already slapped him with a palm!

"you wanna die!"

Shi Longguang shouted loudly, the regular runes gathered in his palm, and he blasted towards Li Xuan with a palm.

boom!

The two palms collided and a violent shock wave erupted.

Li Xuan and Shi Longguang each retreated a distance.

Shi Longguang's expression suddenly changed, because he discovered that Zhao Hao in his hand had disappeared.

Li Xuan hugged Zhao Hao, took out a first-grade healing elixir, and stuffed it into his mouth, temporarily stabilizing his injury.

then.

Li Xuancai looked at Zhang Dafu: "Eunuch Zhang, take Eunuch Zhao away and leave this place to me."

He looked at the stone dragon light not far away, and the surging Gang Qi suddenly burst out of his body.

"Eunuch Li, you..."

Zhang Dafu felt the change in Li Xuan's aura, and his expression suddenly changed.

This is clearly the pressure of the Grand Master!

Eunuch Li is actually a powerful master? !
