Datang: Acting as a celestial mystery at the beginning

The day after Li Yi'an received the imperial decree, Fang Cheng came to Yuzhou with a big boat.

They hurriedly packed their things and asked Fang Cheng to put the goods in Yuzhou and hand them over to other people for handling. This time there was no time to load the goods, so they went back empty.

Taking a large boat to travel by water, although a big circle has been made, is faster than traveling by land, and the time is not lost at all.

Fang Cheng knew that Li Yi'an was going back to fight, so he didn't dare to neglect, so he raised his sails and set off to go back.

Going along the Yangtze River to the south of the Yangtze River, it is faster along the way. In a few days, I have returned to the vicinity of Hezhou, and a little further is Yangzhou and Suzhou.

"Go to Hangzhou first."

Li Yi'an calculated that there was still enough time to go back, since returning here was considered a drop-in, and before going north, he would go to Lijia Village again.

This time going north, they may have to enter the desert, and the people of the Manichaeism are there, and they may be able to reveal some secrets in advance.

Before going, he had to make some preparations, such as going to Lijia Village to see if there were any other clues.

When the big ship arrived near Yangzhou, it changed course and went south along the Grand Canal to Hangzhou.

"Changge, jade hairpin and jade token, you give it to me first."

Li Yi'an returned to the cabin, hugged Li Changge and asked.

Li Changge knew that these things were very important, so he took them out, but said worriedly: "Husband, this time you are going to fight, you still have to go? I don't want you to take risks."

She held her husband's hand tightly. She suffered a little skin injury in Yaozhou before, and her heart ached for several days.

The Turks were more aggressive than the rebels in the Southwest, and she was worried.

"I have to go, but also because of my parents."

Li Yi'an said softly: "I'm sure they're not dead yet. I suspect they're hiding in the desert and have something to do with the organization behind Yan'er and the others. This time I lead the soldiers to fight, another purpose is to find them."

This reason is to convince Li Changge that since it has something to do with her parents, she has to do it no matter how dangerous it is. She just resents that she doesn't know anything and can't help, so she said nervously: "You must be careful, Wanshun and I will wait for you at home , we sisters are only left with you."

She said it a little pitifully.

Li Yi'an held her hands tighter and said with a smile: "Aren't they Turkic people, how scary can they be? No matter how powerful they are, they are far inferior to me. You wait at home for my return."

Li Changge nodded, buried himself deeply in Li Yi'an's arms, and hugged him tightly.

Going south along the Grand Canal, it was already night when they arrived at Hangzhou Wharf. They did not disembark and rested on board overnight.

When Liu Tongfang heard that Li Yi'an was here, he hurried to the ship to report on his work. As Fang Cheng said, everything in Hangzhou was normal and there were no problems. These were all related to Li Shimin, so Liu Tongfang naturally didn't dare to mess around.

the next morning.

Li Yi'an didn't quite know what attitude those villagers had towards him, so for unnecessary trouble, he left Li Changge and the others on the big boat, and went to Lijia Village alone to see what happened.

But just outside Li Family Village, Li Yi'an felt that something was wrong, the inside seemed to be lifeless, with no vitality at all.

It was already morning, and normally, those farmers would get up early to do farm work, but there was no movement inside, not even a single passerby could be seen.

He walked in, and the whole village was very quiet. He wondered if the people in Lijia Village had all moved away to avoid him?

No, it is impossible!

Li Yi'an looked at the agricultural tools outside the house, there were traces of being used recently, and then there was a faint smell of blood. He opened the door of a room and looked in. The first thing he saw was a bright red.

Then he also saw two corpses lying on the couch, their throats were cut, they didn't even move to resist, they were definitely killed in their sleep.

Then he quickly opened several nearby houses, and the scenes inside were exactly the same.

The entire Li family village is dead!

Seeing the traces of blood on the ground, these people have not been dead for a long time, and they were definitely killed last night.

"Someone must have known that I was coming back, and they were afraid that I would find out something, so they killed them."

Li Yi'an's face darkened, and the figure of the King of Growth first appeared in his mind.

Only this person's means can be so cruel.

He quickly searched around here, but found no other useful clues, and was about to go back to find Liu Tongfang and bring someone over to collect the body, when he suddenly heard footsteps outside.

The next moment, two masked men in black jumped out from the nearby house, the knives in their hands trembled, and they slashed at Li Yi'an.

Li Yi'an flashed two knives sideways, and the moment the other two flashed past him, he grabbed one of them by the belt and pulled it hard, dragging it back, and fell heavily to the ground.

The knife in this man's hand stabbed upwards and wanted to fight back, but just as he raised the knife, he suddenly screamed, because Li Yi'an stepped on his entire arm and broke it, and even rubbed it, the bones shattered.

Li Yi'an grabbed the knife with his backhand, stuck it in his throat, then pulled it out and waved it to his side.

The other person just swung a knife and attacked, and the blades of the two collided and dragged past, splashing a series of sparks.

As soon as the figures of the two sides intersected, Li Yi'an's knife was sent forward, ending his life.

But at this moment, he felt the wind surging behind him, and quickly turned around and raised his long knife to block it.

clang!

The sound of metal colliding followed, and Li Yi'an felt a big shock in his hand, the knife broke into pieces, and then saw a huge iron sword dragging past his eyes.

The person who made the sneak attack was the Heavenly King of Growth.

Li Yi'an only took two steps back, and then stood firm. After being reborn, his strength increased greatly. Even if he faced the King of Growth, he was no longer as embarrassed as before.

That's the benefit of being strong.

"No, you have become stronger."

The King of Growth said in surprise.

"It's really you!"

Li Yi'an didn't respond to his words, but instead asked, "You killed them all, right?"

Zengchang Tianwang regards human life as worthless, and said disapprovingly: "If they know what they should not know, they should die!"

"Then you should die too!"

Li Yi'an threw the broken knife on the ground and rushed directly to Zeng Tianwang. Now he is full of confidence and feels that he can defeat him.

"You must have got some opportunity, and your strength has become stronger."

King of Growth narrowed his eyes: "But so what?"

His iron sword slashed down.

When he was about to hit Li Yi'an, he dodged it, then swept sideways and kicked Zeng Tianwang.

boom!

The two sides collided, and Zeng Tianwang retreated a few steps in embarrassment, and there was a burning pain where he was kicked.

He widened his eyes, and then made a quick judgment. He felt that he might not be Li Yi'an's opponent. He overturned his initial self-confidence, and instantly thought of retreating.

However, before the growth king had time to leave, Li Yi'an approached again and punched him.
