One person ascends to the Pure Huang Court

The courier from Tongwenguan, kneeling on the ground, could only repeat the intelligence he had sent: "The spies reported that Li Xingyun has left Shu and is heading towards our Jin State."

Li Cunxu, who was checking the war map on the side, suddenly turned around, raised his legs high, took big steps, and walked up to the messenger as quickly as a martial artist on the stage.

He clapped his feet, and with a snap, he stood still and appeared.

The attendant actor who served Li Cunmao, who was thin and had thick makeup on his face and was dressed as a clown, picked out a golden smiling mask at the right time and handed it to Li Cunxu with both hands.

Wearing a mask, Li Cunxu shook his head and sang the lines of the opera: "Report any other news one by one."

The messenger from Tongwenguan was no longer surprised by Li Cunxu's behavior. His expression did not change at all as he continued to read the intelligence:

"The spies found Li Xingyun's whereabouts in Jincheng, Shu, and discovered two newly built tombs. One was for an unknown person, and the other had the name of Qi Wang Li Maozhen written on the tombstone."

This time, Li Cunxu was so shocked that he spoke seriously: "King Qi is dead?"

"Yes, His Royal Highness Prince Jin suspected that Li Xingyun had obtained the address of the Longquan treasure, which is in Jin, so the Prince of Jin sent a message:

Order the Holy Lord to take the Hui Sect Master Li Cunhui and Yong Sect Master Li Cunyong to track down Li Xingyun's whereabouts and seize the Longquan treasure."

"In addition, the King of Jin has recalled Lord Li Sizhao, and the Sub-Sage will meet the Holy Lord at the border of Jin."

After a moment of silence and stroking his beard, Li Siyuan narrowed his long peach blossom eyes and smiled: "Since my foster father has given the order, I certainly cannot slack off. I will set out immediately."

"The battle situation in Chu is left to my second brother."

Li Cunxu shook his body, clasped his fists, and began to sing: "Brother, go safely. You don't need to worry about the war here. I will let the enemy..."

He turned his hand to make his debut. The attendant who had just handed him the mask clapped and sang along. Li Cunxu took a deep breath and sang the last two words:

"Bow~Wow!"

The sound was like the cry of a crane, like a sword piercing a tent; even the Jin guards patrolling outside the tent could hear it clearly.

Li Siyuan never liked opera, and thought Li Cunxu was noisy, but he always pretended to be intoxicated on the surface, and sometimes encouraged Li Cunxu to speak, and it was the same now:

"Thank you, second brother, for sending me off with the play. I have to go find the Eleventh and Twelfth Brothers first to discuss the route."

Li Cunxu said to him, "The mountain is high and the road is long. Please be careful, brother."

What a scene of deep brotherly love.

If Li Siyuan had not changed his expression as soon as he turned around, and Li Cunxu had looked up and looked at Li Siyuan's leaving back without any coldness in his eyes.

After Li Siyuan left the tent, Li Cunxu jumped onto the main seat, turned over and sat on the commander's seat, adjusted his posture, sat upright, and said: "Mirror Heart Demon, what do you think my father is doing?"

The Mirror Heart Demon, who had just handed the mask to Li Cunmao, stepped forward and said, "The one thousand Yin Jun soldiers that Li Xingyun carries with him can come and go freely, and when they form a military formation, they are like the four evil spirits descending. No one can stop them, and they are not easy to deal with."

"If Li Siyuan can defeat Li Xingyun, the King of Jin will be able to obtain the Longquan treasure; if he fails, Li Siyuan's reputation will be greatly reduced again."

Li Cunmao smiled with a gloating look and said, "It seems that my father really doesn't want to tolerate Li Siyuan anymore."

"Li Siyuan is harboring evil intentions. The Prince of Jin has sharp eyes and can naturally see through them. His Highness the Prince of Jin knows that the Jin Kingdom will eventually have to be inherited by the general."

"Haha." Li Cunmao laughed heartily. His previous frustration that his father valued Li Siyuan and ignored him disappeared. "The swan flies high, covering a thousand miles in one go. Now that its wings are fully grown, it can cross the four seas."

This is the "Song of the Swan" written by Liu Bang, who used the poem of Emperor Gaozu of Han to express his aspirations. There is no need to say what Li Cunmao was thinking in his heart.

After listening to Li Cunmao finish singing the song "Swan Song", Mirror Heart Demon's eyes flickered for a moment, and he stepped forward with a charming smile: "General, now is a great opportunity."

"Congratulations, General. Your great cause will be accomplished."

Li Cunxu raised his eyes, turned his head and sang: "Where does happiness come from?"

"The Queen will definitely take action if King Qi dies. If King Qi dies at the hands of Li Xingyun, the Qi army will most likely withdraw and retaliate against Li Xingyun."

"And the pseudo-Liang commander Zhu Youwen was cowardly and incompetent. Although the Xuanming Sect leader Zhu Yougui was Zhu Wen's biological son, he was humiliated by Zhu Wen in every way. Zhu Wen even took his wife, his daughter-in-law, into the harem. Zhu Yougui had long been dissatisfied."

"This time, Zhu Wen led his troops to Chu because he was afraid of the descendants of the Li family and forced them to come. He was perfunctory in several battles and was not serious. The spies from the Tongwenguan once reported that Zhu Wen had sent a letter to Zhu Yougui to kill Li Xingyun, but Zhu Yougui remained indifferent."

Jing Xin Mo analyzed the situation in Chu for Li Cunxu. Although Jing Xin Mo looked like a jester and a sycophant, he was actually a man of literary talent and wisdom, and was a military advisor who was deeply trusted by Li Cunxu.

"Take advantage of the fact that the attention of all parties is attracted by Li Xingyun and the news that the Longquan treasure is about to appear in the world."

"General, you can seize this opportunity and use the world's most powerful leader Li Cunxiao as the vanguard to quickly eliminate Zhu Yougui with the force of thunder and lightning, establish Zhu Youwen as a puppet, and bring the Liang army under your command."

The Mirror Heart Demon clenched his fist exaggeratedly, as if he wanted to hold all the troops in his hands.

The exaggerated gesture and radical strategy were exactly what Li Cunxu liked. He nodded with satisfaction and continued to sing:

"If there are disobedient people in the army, what should we do?"

The Mirror Heart Demon chopped everything with his knife and smiled softly: "Kill!"

"Kill who?"

"Wang Yanzhang, the great general of the Liang army, is loyal and hard to subdue. Zhu Wen is a loyal minister and an enemy of mine."

"Shan." After singing the word, Li Cunmao finally returned to normal and spoke seriously, "Jing Xin Mo, go call Li Cunzhong and Li Cunxiao."

Li Cunxiao is known as the most powerful man in the world, with great strength and hard work that no one can match. However, his brain is not very good and his mind is like that of a four or five-year-old child.

And although Li Cunzhong only has the strength of a big star and his body is like a monkey, he depends on Li Cunxiao and is inseparable from him. Li Cunxiao almost only listens to Li Cunxiao's orders.

In order to get Li Cunzhong to cooperate with the action, we must first convince Li Cunxiao.

After the Mirror Heart Demon left, Li Cunxu looked at the map of the Nine Provinces hanging in the tent and thought fondly, "I wonder where in Jin State I will be buried."

······

"Relieve the beam."

Li Xingyun was riding the horse, and he was meeting up with Shangguan Yunque and Wen Tao, who were explaining the secret of the Longquan treasure formula.

In addition, Lu Linxuan and Ji Ruxue also followed him safely. Li Xingyun finally thought of a way to persuade the Corpse Ancestor Hou Qing to help Lu Linxuan and Ji Ruxue get rid of Li Maozhen's poison.

From the clues revealed in Hu Xiuwu's previous words, Li Xingyun guessed that Corpse Ancestor Hou Qing was a kind person who showed off his kindness in front of others, so he promised on behalf of Ji Ruxue that after she recovered, he would pass on to Corpse Ancestor Hou Qing the methods of playing musical instruments and the power of sound waves of Huanyinfang.

In this way, Corpse Ancestor Hou Qing no longer has to carry the bronze gong, and it would be more handsome to use the bone flute to fight the enemy.

Li Xingyun is a quick-witted person, otherwise the bad guy wouldn't always have high hopes for him.

"The land of crops and gardens refers to the salt marsh. As for 'loyalty can be identified', there is only one person in ancient and modern times who is regarded as a loyal and brave person by everyone."

Shangguan Yunque exclaimed: "Zhuangmuhou Guan Yunchang! So that's how it is. Jieliang is both a salt lake and Yunchang's hometown. It really fits the place described in the formula."

"What do the last two sentences mean?"

Li Xingyun shook his head: "I haven't figured it out yet. I'll wait until I understand Liang Shishi and see it first."

"We will have many friends coming over on this trip, so please be careful."

Chapter 417 Lian Zhen has a direction

Xie Liang,

The hills are scattered like chess pieces in the mirror-like salt marsh. In the distance, the water and the sky are connected, and the clouds mistakenly enter the water and get lost in the mountains.

Li Xingyun and others walked into the salt marsh, their feet creating ripples, disturbing the mist and breaking the tranquility of the salt marsh.

Wen Tao fiddled with the compass in his hand: "The Longquan treasure should be buried here."

Lu Linxuan glanced around and secretly smacked his lips: "This salt lake is so beautiful, but the area is too large. There must be dozens of hills and mountains. With just a few of us, can we find the Longquan treasure in this salt lake covered with hills?"

Shangguan Yunque flicked his orchid finger, his face filled with helplessness and irritation: "No hope! What can we do with just a few of us, unless the commander-in-chief suddenly agrees to let the bad guys from the Jin branch come to help us, or Xingyun can truly become the commander of the Yin soldiers and send out cavalry to search the mountains and land."

Ji Ruxue looked at Li Xingyun who was looking down in deep thought: "Xingyun, have you thought of anything?"

Everyone looked at Li Xingyun.

Speaking of knowing about the Longquan treasure, apart from the Bad Leader who dares to claim to know something, I'm afraid only Li Xingyun can say that he knows some secrets.

Li Xingyun looked down at himself floating on the cloud with a sad face, and his mind was in a trance: "I remembered what my father said to me back then."

"Nothing lasts forever in this world, but the mirror can straighten one's clothes. That was my father's expectation for me. He hoped that I could always use the mirror to reflect on myself."

“The dragon hangs in the sky. Even though the dragon hangs in the sky, it is also reflected in this mirror.”

Shangguan Yunque exclaimed: "Xingyun, do you mean that the Longquan treasure is not in the mountain, but under this salt lake?"

"That's right," Li Xingyun said firmly, and then looked at the Thief Saint Wen Tao, "Brother Wen, I'd like to trouble you to help me find the place that might be the entrance to the Longquan treasure."

"No problem, it's my job."

Wen Tao was in high spirits and as focused as an apprentice who had the opportunity to watch Wu Daozi painting, or a prostitute who was excited to peek under the skirt of a beautiful woman.

That's Longquan's treasure.

The greatest treasure in the world, the wealth coveted by countless princes, the weight that influences the situation in the world, was all the work of the Bad Commander.

That’s right, the Longquan treasure that the world pursues, in fact, the Bad Leader has always known where it is buried. After all, according to the legend, it was the Bad People who were responsible for transporting the Longquan treasure.

However, the Bad Leader was extremely mysterious, and no one including Li Xingyun dared to ask him for help.

Having the opportunity to verify the secrets of the Longquan treasures on the spot and touch the works of Yuan Tiangang, the first Feng Shui master of the Tang Dynasty, is the dream of any aspiring Feng Shui master and tomb robber.

Coincidentally, Wen Tao is both.

Wen Tao was seen holding a compass in his hand, skimming over the waves, muttering to himself, and concentrating on finding the Feng Shui points in the salt lake as if no one was around.

"Here we are, right here."

After Li Xingyun and others accompanied Wen Tao in the salt lake for several circles, after Shangguan Yunque asked him the result impatiently for the third time, he suddenly stopped, held the compass in his hand, and chopped the soil under his feet.

Lu Linxuan looked around and felt that this place was no different from other places in Yanze. He asked hesitantly, "Brother Wen, why here?"

After straining his brain to solve the problem left by Yuan Tiangang, Wen Tao felt exhausted but also refreshed. The confusion of being an outsider made him more proud, and he happily answered Lu Linxuan's questions:

"Everyone present here knows the Marshal's identity, but have you ever heard of the old story of Qianling Mausoleum?"

Lu Linxuan's eyes were blank, and Ji Ruxue's face was cold, as if she knew something.

Both of them lost their fathers and mothers at a young age and became orphans. One was adopted by Yang Shuzi and taught martial arts, and the other was adopted by the empress and taught martial arts.

Simply put, both of them are illiterate.

Oh, Ji Ruxue is a little better than Lu Linxuan. As a member of Huanyinfang and the empress's personal maid, she can play musical instruments and read music.

Apart from Wen Tao, among the remaining four people present, only Li Xingyun, who was trained as a crown prince in childhood, and later taught medicine by Yang Shuzi and secretly taught by Yuan Tiangang, was well-read and knowledgeable.

There is also Shangguan Yunque, who is Yuan Tiangang's confidant, the captain of the Tianqiaoxing School of the Bad Commander, and is knowledgeable and well-informed.

Li Xingyun didn't quite understand Ji Ruxue's knowledge reserve, but he knew what kind of character his violent junior sister was, so before Lu Linxuan showed his timidity and embarrassment, he explained in detail:

"Of course I know. When Emperor Gaozong passed away, the late Empress Wu Zetian ordered Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng, who was the Grand Historian at the time, to find a good feng shui site to build the emperor's mausoleum."

"Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng set out separately. Yuan Tiangang inspected both sides of the Yellow River, while Li Chunfeng traveled east along the Wei River."
