Yuan Tiangang led Meng Fan and Li Xingyun to stop outside a towering stone gate, and then opened the stone gate very skillfully.

"Your Highness, please!"

Meng Fan and Li Xingyun looked at each other and then walked inside.

But Yuan Tiangang stood outside the door and glanced at Li Siyuan and others.

Li Siyuan was terrified and immediately knelt on the ground, saying, "General, I offended the emperor unintentionally. It is hard to tell whether it was true or not. I thought about it again and again before deciding to follow you."

Yuan Tiangang snorted coldly: "Whether it's intentional or not, it's all fine. Your life is useless now, give it back!"

Li Xingyun stopped at this moment and said coldly: "Yuan Tiangang, are you leaving or not?"

The previous incident with the fake Li made Li Xingyun feel quite resentful towards Yuan Tiangang. To Li Xingyun, the tactical fight between Meng Fan and Yuan Tiangang just now seemed more like Yuan Tiangang forcing Meng Fan to kill the fake Li and forcing them to kill each other.

The same was true of his fights with the fake Li, which caused the fake Li, who was supposed to be his brother, to become his enemy.

And he was just like a toy chess piece, allowing Yuan Tiangang to manipulate him at will.

At this moment, Li Xingyun's disgust for Yuan Tiangang reached its peak. All along, what he cherished most was family affection.

After leaving the palace at a young age, he was alone and wandered around with Li Huan. All his brothers had died, including his father.

When he learned of Meng Fan's existence, God knows how happy he was. He was finally no longer the only one of the Li family bloodline.

And today, his other brother almost died at the hands of Yuan Tiangang, so Li Xingyun naturally resented him.

Yuan Tiangang naturally understood Li Xingyun's feelings, and immediately bowed and said: "Your Majesty, I deserve to die!"

And at the moment Yuan Tiangang entered, Mirror Heart Demon bowed to Yuan Tiangang, which made the careful Zhang Zifan notice his abnormal behavior.

After the three of them went in, they saw darkness everywhere. Yuan Tiangang pressed another mechanism with ease, and braziers began to burn on the stone pillars on both sides.

Under the light of the fire, at the end of the road, there was a huge and ferocious stone dragon with bared fangs and claws, its hair and beard standing out, and a pearl in its mouth, hanging in the air.

Under the stone dragon is a dragon throne made of pure gold, placed on a high platform built up with countless steps, as if waiting for its real owner to arrive.

"It seems that you are familiar with this place?"

Li Xingyun looked around and asked Yuan Tiangang in a cold voice.

Yuan Tiangang walked forward slowly and explained, "I never knew where this place was. It's just that the layout of this place was determined by me personally back then."

Li Xingyun was about to keep up with Yuan Tiangang's pace, but suddenly he saw many corpses on both sides of the road, facing one direction and kneeling on the ground.

Decades have passed, and it has long since turned into dried bones.

"Are they the bad guys who built this place back then?"

Yuan Tiangang's voice remained calm. He did not stop for the corpses of these bad guys. He just said, "They are just dry bones. It's nothing to worry about."

Meng Fan sighed and said, "This is what it means when one general succeeds, thousands of soldiers die!"

At this time, Yuan Tiangang turned his head and looked at Meng Fan, and said as if teaching: "How can a general compare with the achievements of an emperor? When an emperor talks and laughs, a single word can determine the fate of the world!"

Meng Fan recited casually: "The rolling Yangtze River flows eastward, and the waves wash away all heroes. Success and failure are in vain. The green mountains remain, and the sunsets are red several times. The white-haired fishermen and woodcutters are on the river bank, accustomed to watching the autumn moon and spring breeze. A pot of muddy wine makes us happy to meet. So many things in the past and present are all turned into jokes." After listening, Yuan Tiangang seemed to agree and said: "Your Highness is a great talent, but he is a little old-fashioned!"

After listening to this, Li Xingyun frowned and said, "There are countless great achievements in the jokes, but there are also countless bones in the jokes. How many people will be displaced and how many souls will be lost because of one sentence?"

He lowered his head and said with emotion: "Just because of one person's words!"

Then, he raised his head and looked at Yuan Tiangang in front of him, looked at his back and asked: "But this sentence can kill people, can it also save people?"

"In fact, I have always understood that if Longquan is not released, these respectable warriors will never rest in peace. If the Tang Dynasty is not restored, their sacrifice will be worthless."

"We live in the martial arts world and in troubled times. We should move forward bravely and fearlessly, but I also understand that there is no immortal person in this world, and there is no country that will not decline."

"But if all the talented people who come out can be like you, living for a hundred years, grabbing the lost momentum, not caring about losing the support of the people, and trying to start a prairie fire, what will this world become?"

"I think no one in the world knows the meaning of these four words 'Tao follows nature' better than you, right?"

"Yuan Tiangang, it's been three hundred years. If you don't stop now, you will have no chance!"

Meng Fan shook his head and retorted, "I don't agree with what you just said. You said that we are in the martial arts world, but it is more than just the martial arts world. Since I have the blood of Li Tang, I have already entered the temple and it is difficult to escape."

"You said that there are no immortal people in this world, and there is no country that will never decline. Li Xingyun, let me ask you, have you ever seen anything outside of this world?"

"The frog in the well cannot talk about the sea because it is bound by the void; the summer insect cannot talk about ice because it is bound by time; the crooked man cannot talk about the Tao because he is bound by teachings."

"Don't use your shallow vision to speculate on the vastness of the universe. The four directions above and below are called Yu, and the past and present are called Zhou. How much of the universe can you see in your short few decades?"

"As for the saying that a single spark can start a prairie fire, I actually think that a single spark can start a prairie fire!"

Meng Fan did not give any explanation for the last sentence, but his eyes were full of determination and reminiscence.

Immediately, he smiled and said, "God will prevail over man, and man will prevail over God. How will you know if you don't do it?"

"Which dynasty was not founded with great difficulty? Only with the remaining strength of the Qin Dynasty's six generations could there be a chance to conquer the world. Li Xingyun, I know what you are worried about."

"But I also want to tell you that the long road ahead is as hard as iron, but now we are starting over. When we start over, the mountains are like the sea and the setting sun is like blood."

After hearing this, Yuan Tiangang couldn't help but smile and said, "Well said, Your Highness. It tells the story of my three hundred years of hard work. If there is one person who understands me, it is enough for my life."

Then, he looked at Li Xingyun again and sighed, "You have grown up and are no longer the same as you were back then."

"Your Highness, can you accompany me for a chat?"

Yuan Tiangang walked slowly and heavily on the steps leading to the dragon throne. Every step he took seemed like an experience in his three hundred years of life.

Meng Fan and Li Xingyun followed behind him. From time to time, they could see dead bones on the steps. It was the cost of thousands of lives for a general to succeed. In the past three hundred years, countless people had fallen in the fight for the throne.

And the current situation was just like Yuan Tiangang was paving the way for the two of them, leading them to the end, where the dragon throne was.

"Everyone in the world is a bait, but I am the one holding the pole."

"Over the course of three hundred years, the capital Chang'an and the eastern capital Luoyang have experienced ups and downs, from inciting Yang Guang to raise an army to creating the Zhenguan Reign, from the Weishui Alliance to the defeat of the Turks, from the abolition of Wang Liwu to the two saints ruling the country, from plotting the Tianbao Rebellion to allowing Huang Chao to rebel as a warning to Emperor Xizong."

"I, your servant, have done all this for the Tang Dynasty. No matter how much hard work and suffering I have endured, I have never stopped!"
