Great Master of the Tang Dynasty

232 Chapter 244 Mutual Vigilance and Mutual Trust

After bidding farewell to his family, Zuo Ming accompanied Li Shimin back to the inland.Eunuch Qian did not follow because he had changed his appearance, but Empress Changsun followed for the first time.It's just that she didn't talk to Li Shimin along the way.

Knowing that Queen Changsun was worried about Li Shimin's safety, Zuo Ming sighed helplessly.

Not only Empress Changsun, Li Zhi, a bastard, rushed over anxiously after learning the news.

However, at this important moment, the rest of the princes couldn't come back, because they all had their own tasks, so only the prince and Li Zhi could stay by Li Shimin's side.

"Father, do you really want to take this risk? Why don't you wait a few years!"

After welcoming Li Shimin into the palace, Li Chengqian tried to persuade him.Now that Li Shimin is still there, he can still ask him when he encounters problems. If he is gone, Li Chengqian is worried that he will not be able to hold on.

"I can't wait any longer, Chengqian, you have grown up too, and the empire will be handed over to you in the future. Regardless of whether I live or die this time, you must support this family and this country."

With a slight smile, Li Shimin shook his head and said, "Actually, you don't have to worry too much. You have done a good job in the past few years, even better than I imagined. As long as you keep at it, you will be fine."

After hearing this, Li Chengqian smiled bitterly.He has indeed done a good job in the past few years, but it is not all forced out. The pressure on him is not ordinary.Sometimes, even eating has to be on the train to various places.

Li Chengqian's current policy of governing the world is to pay attention to doing things by himself, and he likes to personally investigate everything, so his popularity among the people is about to catch up with Li Shimin, but although it is good to do so, it is extremely tiring.

"Okay, don't cry with a mournful face, as if you are doomed to die for your father! I am the master of sages who created the entire Yuanshi Era, and God will definitely fulfill this little wish of mine!"

Seeing that Li Chengqian was still crying, Li Shimin joked.

"My boy doesn't mean that! It's just that there is always a risk in everything. I think it's better not to take some indifferent risks when it's not necessary."

Li Chengqian said quickly.

"You also said that there are risks in everything. What I'm doing now is borrowing. If there is no cost at all, how can I move God?"

Li Shimin smiled lightly, said in a good mood, and then instructed Zhao Si to push him to the side of the soldiers who were digging.

"You buried him so deep?"

Looking at the deep pit nearly 20 meters ahead and the exposed black iron coffin, Li Shimin said in disbelief.

With an embarrassing smile, Zuo Ming didn't speak, but asked someone to pick up the coffin, then threw it aside, and continued to dig.

"This is not his coffin, he is still under it!"

At this time, Zuo Ming had time to smile awkwardly, "It's not only that, there are some landmines in some places further down, but I have already told them the way and depth of arrangement, and they have already taken protective measures, so It should be fine!"

"should?"

Hearing such a word, Li Shimin and Empress Changsun instinctively felt that something was wrong, and then, a loud noise confirmed their guess.

Bang!
"Ouch! My lord! What kind of thunder are you putting on this matter? How could it explode at the slightest touch? Fortunately, we all brought shields and protective clothing, otherwise we would have to explain it here!"

"Yes! My lord! Can you be more reliable?"

These are a few soldiers from the Prince Tang's Mansion in Chang'an, so they have no scruples in speaking.

A slope was blown out on the ground, and the wheelchair slid down involuntarily. Finally, the sergeant next to him grabbed the armrest, Li Shimin said with a depressed face.

"You are too careful, you even used the most unstable explosives."

"Be careful sailing for ten thousand years! Xiaoyaozi let me escape from Shengtian because of carelessness. I will not make the same mistake as him."

Smiling again, Zuo Ming said.

He wanted to attach great importance to Xiaoyaozi, so he didn't dare to let him escape.

After removing the row after row of explosives, the bottom of the entire deep pit could not be seen. It was not until a long time later that the rope below was pulled slightly, and then a huge nanmu coffin was slowly raised up. , was lowered to the ground by a crane.

After putting it in place, a group of sergeants began to clean up the soil in the coffin, and then dug out the rusty Xiaoyaozi.

"There are not many rust spots, but at this rate of corrosion, the entire iron statue will turn into a pile of dross in at most 50 years."

Gently tapping the rust on Xiaoyaozi's body, Li Zhi came to a conclusion.

"Hehe! This is just a layer on the surface! Pry it open and look inside!"

With a slight smile, Zuo Ming said with an expression that you are too young.

Hearing this, Li Zhi was taken aback for a moment, and then quickly knocked off the layer of rust on the surface with a hammer.However, when he completely removed the layer of rust, he was dumbfounded.

"Aluminum alloy! You even put a layer of this on it!" Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, and then said with a strange expression.

Combining these, Zuo Ming set up a total of three protective procedures in Xiaoyaozi's burial, which has to be said to be a bit exaggerated.

"Hehe! It's the same old saying, be careful sailing for ten thousand years! Don't talk about gossip, let's transport him back first."

Smiling again, Zuo Ming said proudly.After speaking, he beckoned to the staff to transport him back to the palace.

After returning to the palace, Xiaoyaozi was about to be sent to the crematorium. After all, if the metal coating was not melted off, Xiaoyaozi himself would not be revealed.

The cremation process was very simple, and after a short while, a naked Xiaoyaozi was sent from the Forbidden Garden to the Imperial Palace.At this time, the others are also ready.

After giving Li Shimin a large amount of anesthetic, Zuo Ming had someone trap Xiaoyaozi on the bed, then cut a hole in Xiaoyaozi's wrist with his own diamond knife, and inserted a needle.

Then, Zuo Ming pulled out the long diamond cone on Xiaoyaozi's forehead.

After Chang Cone left, the wound on Xiaoyaozi's forehead healed at a speed visible to the naked eye. After a while, he opened his eyes with a confused expression.

However, when he saw Zuo Ming's hateful smiling face, Xiao Yaozi immediately struggled and shouted, "Zuo Ming! What do you want to do? Isn't it enough to seal me? You still want to torture me? "

After being sealed once, Xiaoyaozi is not so frightened anymore. Anyway, he has no consciousness. Don't think that Zuo Ming and An Lin still kept a clear will in the endless darkness. In fact, that is a more terrifying torment.

He was really worried that Zuo Ming would torture him like that.

Of course, he yelled, but in fact, his subconscious mind had already connected to several of his avatars.

That is, the moment he woke up, Chen Dong, who was far away in the Mediterranean Sea, and several powerful figures in the Middle East and South Asia were all in one body, revealing an unprecedented fear.

In the past few years, Xiaoyaozi's avatars have lived too freely, so once they are controlled again, they all resist from the bottom of their hearts.

"You bastards! I gave you immortality, and now I'm trapped, and you all hide away to enjoy the blessing! Damn it!"

Knowing the situation of all his clones, Xiaoyaozi was really furious.Especially for Chen Dong.He really didn't expect that one of his avatars could occupy the whole of Europe.But it was this nasty guy who, after occupying Europe, had no intention of coming to help him get out of trouble, which made him very, very angry.

"Are you contacting your avatars? Give up your mind! Even if they come, they may not necessarily know where you are hidden. You should be thankful that His Majesty wants to use your blood to borrow your life from the sky. You Don't worry, I'll bury you back where you were when I'm done."

Smiling lightly, looking at Xiaoyaozi with fire-breathing eyes, Zuo Ming said slowly.

"Heh heh heh heh! That's it! But I'm really curious why you use my blood instead of giving him your own. Oh! I see! He's afraid of being controlled by you, so he wants to use someone who can't The blood of the person who controlled him! Look! You are not absolutely new! You are guarding him, and he is also guarding you!"

Only then did Xiaoyaozi discover the history next to him, and then laughed mockingly.

After hearing this, everyone pretended not to hear and turned their faces aside, but Li Chengqian sneered, "Stop trying to sow discord there. It's useless! You don't understand the trust between us, Father It's true that I'm afraid of being controlled by my elder brother, but we put these words on the table, after all, even brothers have to settle accounts clearly. What's the relationship between you defending me and me defending you!"

"Sounding grand! You wake up Li Shimin and ask him, does he believe in Zuo Ming?"

With a cold smile, Xiaoyaozi smiled even more ironically.

"Okay! Stop arguing with a dead man. It's too expensive. This is the only way he can express his anger. Let's respect his true feelings as much as possible."

Hearing Xiaoyaozi's ridicule, Li Chengqian was about to yell again, but was stopped by Zuo Ming.

What Xiaoyaozi said is right, he is indeed guarding against Li Shimin, and Li Shimin is indeed guarding against him, but what does it matter?This is just a way for them to protect themselves as superiors, and it can be said to be a vigilant habit.

Because deep down, they don't believe that each other will betray each other.
