The Imperial City.
Dew Palace.
Li Shi Min was still reading the memorial.
Because many of the officials in the court had taken leave, some of the memorials were handed over to Li Shimin.
Originally, these memorials were to be approved or deleted by the officials below, but now that the situation was special, Li Shimin gladly accepted this result.
He also wanted to read more memorials so that he could have a better sense of control over the entire world.
"Your Majesty."
"The Golden Guards have made a new discovery!"
At this moment, Li Junxian stood at the door and reported.
"Hmm?"
Li Shiming's brush paused and he raised his head. Seeing that it was Li Junxian, he immediately put down his booklet and brush and stretched his back.
He took a sip of tea and stood up.
It was not easy to sit on a stool for an entire day.
His waist felt stiff. Li Shi Min didn't even want to sit down. He wanted to bend down and put his head between his legs. Only then would his waist feel more comfortable.
"Ah…"
Li Shiming stretched his body and let out a long, comfortable sound.
"Speak!"
"What is it?"
Li Shi Min asked.
"Your Majesty, it's the King of Wei's courtyard.”Li Junxian hurriedly replied.
"Hmm?"
"The King of Wei's Courtyard?"
"What's wrong?"
"Could it be that…the King of Wei has returned?”
Li Shi Min immediately guessed and quickly asked.
The King of Wei had returned!
This was really good news.
Li Shi Min's eyes lit up.
"No, Your Majesty." Li Junxian shook his head.”
"His Highness the King of Wei didn't come back, but…this afternoon, a lot of people came to investigate the King of Wei's courtyard.”
"According to the analysis of the Golden Guards, these people should belong to different clans.”
"They…have been monitoring the Wei King's Courtyard!”
Li Junxian recounted the information he had just received.
What he did not know was that this afternoon, in front of the King of Wei's courtyard, not only were there many spies and many cavalry, but they were all destroyed by the King of Wei's subordinates.
The spies of the noble clans that he was talking about were, of course, the new spies that the noble clans had sent to investigate after not receiving any news for a long time.
"Hmm?"
"A member of a noble clan?"
"They have their eyes on the King of Wei?"
Li Shi Min's eyebrows furrowed slightly, somewhat confused and confused. Why did the noble family suddenly want to investigate the King of Wei?
However, Li Shimin was relieved.
It must have been because he had been transporting things from the Prince of Wei's residence that he had attracted their attention. Therefore, the aristocratic families had also begun to investigate the Prince of Wei.
Hehe…
If he thought of it this way, it made sense.
"I understand." Li Shimin rubbed his hands.”
"It's just that I didn't expect their scouts to have such sharp noses. It seems that I have to be careful when I go to the courtyard.”
Li Shi Min didn't suspect anything else.
Li Junxian nodded.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"Alright, you may leave. Continue to keep an eye on the King Wei's courtyard. If there is any news, report immediately!”Li Shi Min waved his hand.
Li Junxian bowed and retreated.
"Hiss…"
Li Shi Min took a deep breath.
Spreading his arms, he slowly paced around the Dew Palace.
"Green Sparrow, oh Green Sparrow, look at your actions. Even those arrogant fellows from the noble clan have begun to investigate you.”
"I have to say, their noses are very sharp.”
"However, if Imperial Father can't find you, they can forget about it.”
"Hey, where are you now?”
Li Shimin muttered to himself.
He walked to the entrance of the hall and looked up at the sky. A crescent moon was already hanging above.
After resting for a while, Li Shiming sat down at his desk and picked up the memorial.
He had to hurry up and finish his approval. When he had time, he should go and take a look at this small courtyard that the aristocratic families had begun to pay attention to.
········································
In the Li family's courtyard.
Back hall.
This place was already overcrowded.
They had no choice. Their spies couldn't get any news, so many family heads or influential people in Chang 'an had to come here.
"Still no news? What was going on? What was going on?”
"Could it be that these two thousand people have sneaked away? He didn't even go to the Wei King's Courtyard at the foot of Mount Li? They…betrayed our clan?”
"This is impossible. Only we will betray them. No one will betray the noble family.”
"Why hasn't the news come yet? Damn it…This is weird. Did these people just disappear into thin air?”
"I wonder if the new scouts will find anything!”
“···········”
In the back hall, the various family heads were somewhat anxious and uneasy.
At this moment, they really could not maintain their composure. Everyone knew that something had happened, and it was a big deal!
The spies of the various families.
Two thousand cavalrymen.
Until now, there was no news at all. Strange!!! Everything was strange!
Old Master Li sat in the middle with his eyes closed, motionless.
"Patriarch!"
"Patriarch, a spy has returned."
At this moment, the butler of the Li Residence rushed in to report.
He was panicking.
Hurriedly.
He was sweating profusely.
His face turned pale.
Old Master Li heard his voice and slowly opened his eyes.
"Speak!"
"Tell it to all the family heads."
"Just say it!"
Old Master Li stared at him and said slowly. The pressure was extremely strong!
The butler took a deep breath. He looked at the masters of the major clans who were all staring at him. The corners of his mouth twitched, and his voice trembled as he said with great difficulty,"Patriarchs, patriarchs…Longxi's Li Clan's White Ice Platform has once again sent people to investigate.”
"I found…I found no traces of a battle!”
"Moreover, there's no sign of anyone.”
"However, they discovered horse hoof prints at the foot of Mount Li.”
"But... but the King of Wei's courtyard is as quiet as usual.”
"The spies of my Li Consortium are also dead or alive.”
" Gulp... It's just... it's... in front of the Wei King's mansion. There seems to be... the smell of blood, but it's not strong. It's very faint.”
The butler of the Li Residence did not hide anything and told him everything he knew.
Bang!
Old Master Li slammed his fist on the table.
His eyes darkened.
His face trembled.
His scalp went numb.
His ears trembled.
This ending... This ending... He couldn't accept it!!!
Not only him, but all the other family heads in the back hall also craned their necks and stared at the butler of the Li family. Their eyes were filled with an incomparably terrifying light.
What did he mean by quiet as usual?
What did he mean by there were no signs of a battle?
They had seen two thousand cavalry set off with their own eyes!
Their own elites were personally approved by them!
Now, you're telling me that there's no one here!!!
What was going on? What was going on?
In the back hall, it was as quiet as a tomb. Only the sound of heavy breathing could be heard.
"How is that possible?"
"Even if the Golden Guards came, it would be very, very difficult to wipe out these two thousand cavalry!”
"No, I'm sure that if we didn't make preparations beforehand, we wouldn't have been able to kill all the sons of my clan!!!”
" Impossible..."
"And those spies…they have been secretly monitoring us. If they saw that something was wrong, they would have withdrawn long ago.”
"Absolutely impossible! That's impossible!"
" Impossible..."
Old Master Li shook his head and mumbled. He couldn't believe it.
No one would believe it!
What kind of terrifying army could do this?
While killing two thousand cavalrymen, he could also get rid of the spies without making any mistakes!
Difficult!
Difficult!
Difficult!
Old Master Li's brain was a little numb at the moment.
Old Master Cui, Old Master Li, and the other family heads were also silent.
They had thought about it dozens of times, but they had never been able to annihilate two thousand cavalry or even kill all the spies.
No one could do it!
Just as Old Master Li had said, it was absolutely impossible!
But…where did they go?
Strange!
It was too strange!
Could it be that it was swallowed by the Mountain God? Or did it attract the jealousy of the Heavenly God and was crushed by the Heavenly God? Or rather, they had angered the sleeping giant beast during their march, and it had eaten them all…
Silence!
Silence!
Still silence!
"Right!"
"Have any of the Great Tang's armies suddenly disappeared in the past few days? Or was he suddenly on a mission?”
Suddenly, someone in the hall spoke.
This was a crucial question.
Other than the Tang army crushing these two thousand cavalry with absolute power, or setting up an inescapable net in front of the King of Wei's courtyard and waiting for them to arrive, there was no other possibility!
Other than the imperial court's army, the power of the aristocratic families was invincible!
Immediately, everyone's attention was focused on the butler of the Li Residence.
"Hu…"
"Family Head, Family Heads…According to our spies, we have a report.”
"Today, none of the Golden Guards, the Chang 'an Imperial Army, or the surrounding 16 Guard camps have moved.”
"Yesterday, the day before yesterday, and the day before yesterday!”
"All the soldiers of the Great Tang are here."
the butler of the Li Residence said again.
Everyone was speechless.
The greatest possibility was once again overturned.
Their minds were blank.
Not the army?
Li Shi Min didn't interfere?
Who else could it be?
Old Mr. Li stared at him, breathing heavily.
"It wasn't planned by Erlang?”
"Then…who else could it be?”
"Who else could it be?"
Old Master Li's voice was a little explosive.
He couldn't think of anything.
He really couldn't think of anything.
If Li Shi Min didn't make a move, no one else would be able to do it.
" But…but…"
"Right now, we don't have any evidence to confirm that our people died in front of the Wei Family Courtyard.”
Old Master Cui suddenly spoke again.
Old Master Li turned his head abruptly and stared at him.
After a long while, he nodded helplessly and collapsed in his chair again.
That's right!
That's right!
They couldn't figure out who did it yet. The first step hadn't been resolved yet.
Where did the two thousand people and the scouts go?
Where did he go?
Dead silence!
Silence!
There was only the sound of the wind in the back hall.
It was as if there were countless hands scratching and scratching crazily in everyone's hearts!
They were really…He really hoped that Li Shiming was the one who did this, so that he wouldn't have to be tortured like this.
Damn it!
What was going on?
Could it be…the King of Wei's arrangement?
Suddenly, a thought popped up in his mind, and Old Master Li's body stiffened.
After a few breaths, he laughed at himself and didn't say anything.
Ridiculous!
It was too laughable!
Was his brain stupid? Or was he old and muddle-headed?
How many soldiers could a King Pan without a Pan have?
He probably only had the guards and thugs in the courtyard.
It might be possible to dine and dash and snatch a commoner girl, but it was impossible to kill two thousand cavalrymen and quietly eliminate the scouts of the noble clans!
This was absolutely impossible!
In fact, it would be easier to kill two thousand cavalrymen than to eliminate all his spies!
It was far more difficult to kill all the spies of the aristocratic families than to kill two thousand people.
Even Old Master Li himself did not know how many families had sent their spies.
He didn't even know.
I…
It was really amazing!
Old Master Li closed his eyes in anger.
" This…They…"
"How should we investigate?”
someone said faintly.
How?
Everyone lowered their heads and did not speak.
If they knew, they wouldn't be sitting here now.
How?
How?
Damn it!
Crazy!
Who did it?
What happened in front of the King of Wei's courtyard?
No, it should be this afternoon. What happened outside Chang 'an?
They were eager to know.
His people couldn't just die for no reason.
They were descendants of noble families!
Damn it!
Everyone exploded in anger, but…they could only explode in anger!
····································
Pei Manor.
Pei Ji's eyelids were twitching crazily.
He had been waiting for this news.
He wandered around for the entire afternoon and did not dare to sleep at all. He was afraid that he would miss out on the explosive news.
Kill the King of Wei!
This was killing the King of Wei!
If they could get rid of the King of Wei, they would have a much easier time in the future. They could also slap Li Shiming in the face!!!
Erlang of the Li family really wanted revenge. He wanted revenge for being scared by him yesterday.
Damn it!
Thinking about this, Pei Ji wanted to kill someone.
"Still no news?"
"What happened?"
"Go and ask Old Master Li again. Go, go!!! It had already been an afternoon. With two thousand men, even if each of them spat, they could drown the King of Wei.”
Pei Ji had no idea what had happened.
At this moment, he was not the only one. All the lords who were lying on the bed were holding on, waiting for the good news they had imagined, the best news!
