Datang: Longevity for Thousands of Years, Exposed by Xiao Sizi

Chapter 91 Li Shimin knows what’s going on!

Tai Chi Palace.

Even after a night, Li Shimin's anger was still fierce.

He was still furious!

Angry that he almost lost his precious daughter!

He was also angry at the guards who were responsible for protecting Xiao Sizi, and why they turned against him!

Those guards.

But they were all carefully selected and supervised by him personally!

Unparalleled trust.

But he never expected that when disaster strikes, it will be the enemy’s men.

angry!
The more I think about it, the angrier I get!
"Have you found out? Why did they switch sides?"

Li Shimin looked at the man in front of him and asked.

The person in front of him was Lu Qing, the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple.

Lu Qing is the most outstanding case solver in the Dali Temple in recent years. The truth of many old and complicated cases has been revealed in his hands.

Li Shimin had specially inquired about it, and found out that Lu Qing’s ability was currently the best in the Dali Temple! !
In order to find out as soon as possible what force was behind the assassination of his beloved daughter, he told Lu Qing to put aside everything he was doing and not to return to the Dali Temple until the case was solved.

This is Li Shimin's attitude expressed in broad daylight. He will definitely investigate this matter to the end! !

He only hoped that before the assassination force was found out, those people would be afraid of his attitude and would not launch a second assassination.

"Your Majesty, there are some clues."

Lu Qing thought for a moment and said, "Those guards, I received your order last night and took people to check."

"Before they died, some were hacked to death with one knife, while others were hacked to death with dozens of knives. The injuries varied, and the pain they endured before they died was also different."

"But everyone has one thing in common, and that is that they have no fear before death!!"

"They... are death warriors! Death warriors with firm beliefs!!"

Death warriors….
Li Shimin's pupils suddenly shrank.

How could this be?
The guards he carefully selected for his precious daughter turned out to be someone else's assassin.

No.

think carefully.

When I was preparing guards for Xiao Sizi, he had just been born. From birth to now, several years have passed, and those guards have been with him.

In other words.

They couldn't leave during this period because the guards had already been assassins of other forces before Xiao Sizi was born.

Thinking of this, Li Shimin's eyes flickered. What kind of power was this? It could reach into the palace and turn his men into death warriors.

"His Majesty."

At this time,

Lu Qing stepped forward and continued, "I have checked their files at the Ministry of Personnel. In the past few years, at least in the few years they have been with His Highness Xiao Sizi, it is impossible for them to become someone else's assassin."

"The key point should be before His Highness Xiao Sizi was born. I have some clues now and am ready to start an investigation."

What Lu Qingzhi said.

It was exactly the same as what Li Shimin had just thought.

Li Shimin nodded, also affirming Lu Qing's ability.

"Search according to your idea. Everyone in the Dali Temple, the six ministries, and even the entire court. If you need anyone, just tell me! I will arrange it for you!!"

"You, and Han Fuyin of Jingzhao Prefecture, must use all your abilities to thoroughly investigate this case!"

Lu Qing widened his eyes when he heard this.

stunned!

Surprised!

Shock!

Unbelievable! !
In order to solve the case.

Everyone in the entire court can be deployed by him.

What kind of display is this?!

Lu Qing was shocked and only then realized how important Xiao Sizi was in Li Shimin's heart.

The pressure suddenly increased!

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your recognition of me. I will solve this case within seven days! Bring the person who assassinated His Highness Xiao Sizi to justice!"

Since the current emperor was so sure, Lu Qing also issued a military order on the spot.

"Haha, okay! Then I'll trouble you a lot, Mr. Lu, for everything!"

Li Shimin was very happy.

If Lu Qing can really solve the case, he is prepared to give Lu Qing an extremely generous reward.

Promotion, gold, silver, beautiful women, as long as Lu Qing wanted it, he could give it to him.

Even a title!

That's fine too!!
"Your Majesty, I will take my leave now."

Lu Qing bowed.

After getting Li Shimin's nod of agreement, he slowly retreated.

"and many more!"

At this moment, Li Shimin seemed to think of something and stopped Lu Qing.

When Lu Qing turned around, he saw Li Shimin walking towards him.

Lu Qing asked: "Your Majesty, is there anything else you need to tell me?"

Li Shimin walked up to him, took out the jade pendant from his waist, handed it to him and said, "Seeing this pendant is like seeing me. Wear it."

"this…."

Lu Qing was very familiar with this badge. It was the imperial badge. Seeing it was like seeing Li Shimin.

The pressure in his heart became even greater because of this badge.

No reward for no merit.

The only reason why Li Shimin was so nice to me was because he wanted to find the assassin for His Highness Xiao Sizi.

It is very clear.

After thanking him again and again, Lu Qing retreated under great pressure.

Li Shimin took a deep look at his back and said, "Let's go and see Xiao Sizi."

"This... Your Majesty, I'm afraid that's not possible."

The palace maid next to her looked embarrassed.

"Ok?"

Li Shimin raised his eyes slightly. Could something have happened again?
My dear daughter, if something happens again...
Li Shimin didn't know whether he would collapse or not, and didn't dare to think further.

"What happened again?"

Li Shimin asked hurriedly, his eyes anxious.

The palace maid trembled and said, "Two quarters of an hour ago, it was... it was His Highness Xiao Sizi who left the Lizheng Palace this morning."

The words fell.

Before Li Shimin was about to explode in anger, the palace maid spoke out quickly like spitting out beans.

"Her Royal Highness Princess Changle is also accompanying him! His Royal Highness Xiao Sizi is going to Wangyun Inn, and Princess Changle is worried about him so she is accompanying him. The Queen Mother agreed to this, and she also sent someone to tell His Majesty not to tell him."

It turned out to be Guanyin's maid.

Hearing that it was Empress Changsun who gave the order, Li Shimin took a deep breath.

Although it is dangerous to let the little guy go out by himself now after the disaster.

But after all, Changle was with him, so he felt at ease.

and….
The place the little guy went to was Wangyun Inn.

That place….
Li Shimin put his hands behind his back and looked outside the hall, which was the direction of Wangyun Inn.

He was almost certain that the power of the immortals existed in Wangyun Inn, because the man in black who rescued Xiao Sizi yesterday was tracked down by the Jinwu Guards and had been to Wangyun Inn.

in other words,

Little Sizi was rescued last night by the immortal’s men.

He did not investigate this because the immortal was friendly to the court, and he could do things without anyone noticing. The fact that he placed one of his men next to Xiao Sizi also revealed how powerful he was.

Don’t actively explore, don’t reject it.…

This is what Li Shimin is thinking now.

Now Xiao Sizi wants to go there,
That place….
I'm afraid so.

It is safer than any other place in the palace.

………………

Wangyun Inn.

The old man's room.

The old man Sishe checked Weiyang Jingyan, whose upper body was wrapped in bandages, and said after the examination: "He is out of danger. His internal organs are injured, so he should not move too much."

"It takes a hundred days for a broken bone to heal. Since you are in good health, you can recover in about fifty days. Probably... you can get out of bed and walk around in another ten days."

Upon hearing this, Jing Yan was somewhat skeptical.

Try to move your body.

hiss!
It hurts! It really hurts!!

"Okay, got it."

Jing Yan nodded and continued, "By the way, have you found any clues about those assassins last night?!"

"Those assassins are dead, but leaving Kaiyang, the man behind the scenes, alone will be very troublesome."

"The Lu family doesn't know our identities or details, so they don't dare to act rashly. But Kaiyang... he just took office, and he has three fires to start with, so he wants to come to Chang'an City to cause trouble for our ancestors and try to destroy us to consolidate his position in the Big Dipper."

From his words and actions, Jing Yan was very familiar with Kaiyang and the Big Dipper.

This is also inevitable.

Their fight with the Seven Stars has never been limited to this life.

There were conflicts in the Tang Dynasty, the Sui Dynasty, and even the Three Kingdoms period.

They are the guardians of the gods and have a lot of information about the Big Dipper.

But the Seven Stars are mysterious.

No one knows the identity.

All I know is that behind every Star Person there is a force, a terrifying force.

Kaiyang, Yuheng, Tianquan, Tianshu, Yaoguang, Tianxuan, and the most mysterious one, Beichen, whose name seems to be heard directly.

This is the Big Dipper.

In the past, the Big Dipper would not easily set foot in Chang'an City, because it was the territory of the Son of Heaven and had intricate connections with the Five Surnames and Seven Families.

So I seldom set foot there.

But after the old ancestor woke up, the newly appointed Kaiyang came.

Big Dipper.

Like other organizations, newcomers have no foothold when they take office, so Kaiyang needs to do some achievements to let other stars know that he is worthy of this position.

Very appropriate idea.

But, his first battle was to find the ancestor to establish his authority! !

Seriously, very courageous!
"As a wounded person, don't think too much about these things."

"Professional matters should be handled by professionals. Shen Lian and the others will take care of it."

The old man Sishe thought for a moment and continued, "Forget it, I'll tell you something. This morning, Zishu sent a letter saying that they caught Kaiyang's tail and have already bitten it. In addition..."

Half the story,
There was a babyish voice coming from outside the door.

"Sister, it was really my second brother who saved Sizi! The man in black was my second brother's subordinate, but I don't know where he is. Sizi wants to thank him in person!"

"Well... I think we will find him in the future. Then I and our little Sizi will thank him together."

"Huh? Really?"

"Correct."

“….…” Outside the door, Princess Changle and Xiao Sizi were walking towards Qin Changye’s room and talking on the way.

They spoke very quietly, but to Jing Yan and Si She, who had been in the underworld for many years, their voices were so clear.

And the voice of the little Sizi,
Sounds pretty spirited.

It’s hard to imagine that the little guy just experienced life and death last night.

This also made Jing Yan breathe a sigh of relief, and he secretly thought that the little princess was safe and sound, otherwise he would not have the face to see the ancestor.

The old man laughed and couldn't help but said, "Why don't you meet with His Highness Xiao Sizi? She is thinking about thanking you."

Jing Yan thought for a moment, then exhaled and said, "Actually, I also want to meet His Highness Little Sizi, after all, he's such a cute little guy... But, without the consent of the ancestor, I dare not show up."

"Compared to His Highness Xiao Sizi, we are just mice in the dark after all. If it weren't for the relationship with our ancestor, we wouldn't even have met in this life. So, if the ancestor doesn't agree, I won't go to see him."

The old man didn't say much after hearing this, but just sighed: "Yes, yes ~ The rats in the dark are indeed suitable for us twelve people."
.
…….….….….….
the other side.

When Princess Changle and Xiao Sizi knocked on Qin Changye's door, Qin Changye just happened to open the door.

Whether it was opened by coincidence or he had known it for a long time, this matter is probably only known by Qin Changye himself.

"Your Highness Changle, and Xiao Sizi, you are here."

Qin Changye laughed.

Princess Changle was about to speak when she saw little Sizi throw himself directly into Qin Changye's arms and said in a baby voice, "Second brother! Thank you for saving Sizi!"

Qin Changye pretended not to know and asked in surprise: "What's going on?"

"what?"

Little Sizi tilted his head, a little confused.

This little fool, seeing her second brother was confused, began to wonder whether what happened last night had nothing to do with her second brother.

Princess Changle, who was standing next to her, smiled and said, "Master Qin, your man revealed your affairs last night. He said... that he was your man."

Next,
Princess Changle did not say it directly, she believed that Qin Changye could understand.

And Xiao Sizi also nodded hard: "Yes! That person said that he was my second brother's subordinate!!"

Qin Changye rubbed his head with a headache when he heard this.

After all, it was a peaceful life, and he still wanted to do his best to maintain it. Although Princess Changle vaguely guessed that he was the immortal, it was just a guess after all.

If nothing is said directly, everyone can continue to maintain the relationship tacitly and the peaceful life can continue.

So now he also wanted to cover up this matter, but at this time Princess Changle’s frankness brought Xiao Sizi back to the original direction, so he couldn’t continue to fool him.

Qin Changye exhaled: "Yes, that man is indeed my subordinate. I was confused just now."

Qin Changye laughed and continued, "Little Sizi, are you hurt?"

"Hehe, no~! Second brother's men protected us very well!" Little Sizi smiled happily.

After thinking for a while, the little fellow said, "By the way, second brother, how did that man in black know Sizi's whereabouts, and he was following behind Sizi?"

"You know, Li Junxian and the others were all by Sizi's side, how come they didn't notice that there were other people beside Sizi?"

This is also what puzzled Princess Changle.

It was precisely because of this confusion that she did not sing along with Qin Changye just now, and deceived Xiao Sizi, the man in black, who said that her second brother was not Qin Changye.

Princess Changle looked at Qin Changye with burning eyes, waiting for an answer.

now.

Qin Changye had a headache. After thinking for a while, he said, "I don't know how to start explaining this matter."

"How about, little Sizi, let your second brother take you to see him?"

"Ah? Is it okay?" Little Sizi's eyes were full of stars.

Qin Changye smiled and said, "Sure, he's at Wangyun Inn."

"Come on, let's go take a look."

Qin Changye picked up Xiao Sizi and then carried the little guy on his back.

Walk towards the room where the old man is.

Princess Changle next to her was surprised. That person was here?
……

"Hmm? The old ancestor actually brought Little Sizi here with him?"

"It seems that the old ancestor is still very afraid of trouble. If His Highness Xiao Sizi wants to know everything about us, the old ancestor is too lazy to explain it, so we have to explain it to him."

"You, now you have a chance. His Highness Xiao Sizi will thank you in person later."

The old man looked at Jing Yan who was lying there and smiled knowingly.

Seeing this, Jing Yan turned his head away, not knowing what he was thinking.

soon.

With a creaky sound, the door opened.

Come into view.

It was Qin Changye carrying Xiao Sizi on his back, and Xiao Sizi was waving at him, with Princess Changle following behind them.

"Morning, Mr. Zheng."

Qin Changye spoke.

This opening of his mouth almost made Si Snake stumble and fall to the ground.

His last name is Zheng, and the ancestor called him "Mr. Zheng". This... is so embarrassing!

Sishe was embarrassed, but also knew that this was a necessary concealment by the ancestor, so he smiled and said, "Good morning, Qin... ahem, Xiao Qin."

To say such a disrespectful name, the Snake really seemed to have exhausted all his strength.

"Hello, old man!"

Little Sizi greeted politely.

These words did help divert Sishe's attention a little, making him feel less guilty.

Beside Xiao Sizi, there was Princess Changle in a gorgeous red dress. She bowed slightly and said, "Old man, Changle is here to greet you."

The old man's eyes flickered as he spoke, "Your Highness Changle, you are being so polite to me. Isn't that a bit embarrassing for me?"

Princess Changle didn't take it seriously and said with a smile, "My little sister almost lost her life. If it weren't for Master Qin's men, I'm afraid that Changle would not be here at Wangyun Inn today, but at my little sister's funeral."

"As the elder of Young Master Qin, it is only natural that Changle should address you respectfully."

Little Sizi nodded quickly: "Yes, yes, sister is right! You can handle this gift, old man! There will definitely be no problem!!"

After all,

Little Sizi jumped off Qin Changye's back, ran into the room, poked his head in, and said with expectation in his eyes, "Speaking of which, old man! My second brother said that the great master who saved Sizi is here!"

"He is right here, right here. Sizi wants to thank him in person and has a gift for the great master."

"He, His Highness Xiao Sizi, he is right on the bed..." The old man laughed, but when he turned around he was stunned.

The room is not big and you can see the end at a glance.

And the bed was empty. There was no one on it at this moment!
This is Jing Yan.

I told him not to move.

The old man Si Snake was quite helpless.

"Where, where! Sizi didn't see it. Could it be that Sizi's eyesight is not good? Woo woo woo, maybe he was scared last night, so his eyes are also affected. Sizi, rub them."

Little Sizi thought it was his own problem and rubbed his eyes desperately.

But after rubbing it several times and looking wide open, there was still no one there.

"Hey! Still no one, could it be Sizi..."

"Ahem, His Highness Xiao Sizi, he's not here."

The old man interrupted with a cough.

Then he looked at Qin Changye with an apologetic look, feeling sorry for the ancestor.

The words fell.

Little Sizi suddenly felt frustrated and a little lonely.

"I can't even say thank you if I don't find him."

"Second brother, what should we do?"

He lowered his head and pointed his index fingers together.

Looks so aggrieved.

Qin Changye smiled and said, "Maybe he left for something. We'll see him later."

At this moment, Xiao Sizi's appearance
The old man was extremely distressed.

He turned around and looked around.

Jing Yan was seriously injured and time was running out. The old man knew that Jing Yan must not have run far and might be nearby. He tried to find Jing Yan with his naked eyes and then bring him to the wronged little Sizi to make the little guy happy.

At the same time, it also allows our ancestors to see this contemporary descendant of Jing Ke.

Jing Ke's descendants were not as lucky as him. They followed the cycle of birth, aging, sickness and death, so this generation of Jing Yan was only in his twenties.

Jing Yan grew up listening to the stories of his ancestors from the guardian gods. He longed to see Qin Changye, and he was lucky.

The previous generations of Jing Ke’s sons were unable to see it, but he saw it. After arriving in Chang’an City a few days ago, he looked at Qin Changye from afar.

He saw it, yes ~ he saw his idol since childhood.

But our ancestor Qin Changye has never seen this little guy.

So the old man also wanted his ancestor to meet Jing Yan.

But Jing Yan didn't want to meet.

No matter how injured Jing Yan was, he was still an incomparable legendary assassin.

He wanted to hide, but who could find him?
“This….Ah.”

The old man sighed and said, "It's alright, Your Highness Xiao Sizi. I believe he can understand your intentions."

"Oh, by the way, don't you have a gift for him? What is it? Let's come in and talk about it."

The old man gave up his seat to allow Xiao Sizi, Qin Changye and Princess Changle to pass.

Little Sizi hesitated a little and said, "Is this... okay? A gift must be given to the person personally, only then it is a qualified gift! This is what my second brother taught me!"

"Right, second brother!"

After saying this, Xiao Sizi looked at Qin Changye.

Qin Changye smiled and said, "Not bad."

The old man Sishe smiled and said, "It's alright, Your Highness, Little Sizi, as long as your heart is in it."

The old man knew very well that what he said was nonsense.

The reason I say that is because the seriously injured Jing Yan is now avoiding Xiao Sizi, so it will be even more impossible for him to see Xiao Sizi in the future.

The old man also has his own judgment on why Jing Yan doesn't want to see Xiao Sizi.

I guess it's a long-standing habit, right?
He always compares himself to a shadowy person and an assassin... Such an identity also makes him believe that a true assassin is one who does not meet with people in the open.

"Still... still not so good?!"

Little Sizi was still a little hesitant.

Princess Changle grabbed the little guy by the armpit and picked him up, saying with a smile, "Well, little Sizi, the old man said so, so he must have a reason."

"Besides, that person is Mr. Qin's subordinate. If you want to meet him in the future, there will always be a chance."

Without waiting for little Sizi to answer, Princess Changle rubbed little Sizi's head.

Although Xiao Sizi was still hesitant, he thought about his elder sister's words carefully and felt that they made sense.

Little Sizi no longer hesitated.

The two followed Qin Changye and began to sit down.

The old man began to pour water for the three people.

First, water was poured for Princess Changle and Xiao Sizi, and finally for Qin Changye.

It's not disrespect to our ancestor Qin Changye.

But because,

This was what Qin Changye had taught him before. When he was still young, whenever someone came to visit his house, Qin Changye would tell him to pour tea for the guests first.

He and Qin Changye have no blood relationship, but they are...real family.

Princess Changle took a sip of water and asked first, "Old man, and Master Qin, I wonder if my two sisters know when that master started protecting us?"

This is what she came for.

Now all the guards around little Sizi have been eliminated, and it is urgent to arrange new guards for the little guy. If the expert last night was only for short-term protection, or even just happened to pass by last night, then he cannot be included in the team protecting little Sizi.
