Chapter 62 The situation (1)

The decoration is simple and elegant, without any luxury, but in the quaint living room, Wang Duo, the man in Pingzhang, was sitting opposite others to drink tea. The Tea Doctor who was cooking tea next to him was not a graceful woman, but an old servant.

The middle-aged man sitting opposite Wang Duo, who was in his early forties, had a moderate manner, had the courage of a military general, and the elegance of a Confucian scholar. This was the famous general of the dynasty, and was known as the double walls of the dynasty, Gao Pian, the right Jinwu general.

"So, Li Guanshu shot himself in the foot this time?" Gao Pian took a sip of tea and chuckled.

Wang Duo's face was full of spring breeze and his wrinkles were filled with smiles. The old man looked particularly happy: "It was not just shooting himself in the foot, but it was like digging a grave for himself."

Gao Pian's eyes were deep: "But he didn't dig this tomb for himself at first."

Wang Duo put down the tea bowl and sighed slowly: "Duke Xing and Wang An have a deep grudge. He will not let go of any chance."

Gao Pian turned the edge of the tea bowl and suddenly put it down again, looking at Wang Duo: "How did King An survive that day? Who killed Li Guanshu?"

"Nangong fought against the heroes, and Niushou Mountain was in chaos. The royal family members took refuge everywhere. No one knew how King An survived... Afterwards, according to King An, he did not meet Li Guanshu." Wang Duo said slowly.

Gao Pian sneered: "Li Guanshu personally went to the Sanqing Temple. If even King An could not find it, it would be too much of a living."

Wang Duo said: "Of course Duke Xing is not a living bucket."

Gao Pian said again: "Although Li Guanshu only has the sixth level of Qi training, many people can kill him, but not many people dare to kill him."

Wang Duo suddenly said, "After King An returned from Niushou Mountain, there was one more person around him."

Gao Pian asked: "What kind of person is it?"

Wang Duo's face looked strange: "A person who can't see through it."

Gao Pian frowned: "Can this person kill Li Guanshu?"

Wang Duo thought for a moment and shook his head: "I have never seen this person before."

Gao Pian fell silent.

The tea in the bowl was cold, and Dr. Tea replaced two new teas for the two. Wang Duo tasted it and continued, "There is another thing, which is quite strange. Prince Gong was seriously injured and his entourage died."

"Oh? Why is this?" Gao Pian raised his eyebrows and became interested.

Wang Duo smiled bitterly: "There is no word in Prince Gong's Mansion."

"As a result, this matter was banned." Gao Pian picked up the new tea, handed it to his mouth, paused, then put it down, and asked Wang Duo: "This matter is strange. What does Princess Li say?"

Wang Duo shook his head: "There is no word either."

Gao Pian supported his hands on his knees and leaned forward slightly: "What do you say about King An? Have you ever seen him after King An returns?"

"I've seen it." Wang Duo's tone was inexplicably, his voice seemed a little dumb, "Wang An said, I don't know."

Gao Pian fell silent again.

Wang Duo drank the tea, put it down, picked it up again, and drank it again. After repeated recurrences, a cup of tea was finally drunk in a moment.

"What happened in Niushou Mountain is too strange. Needless to say, it is very deep. Although the Nangong First fights against the heroes was also banned, the imperial guards were full of people, and there were still words coming out... Even if there was no such words, just this battle seemed particularly strange - who was the other party? Why did you block Nangong First in the Sanqing Temple?" Wang Duo said a lot of words. Now he looked at the Niushou Mountain, like watching flowers in the fog, and everyone who returned from Niushou Mountain seemed to become weird and mysterious, and he had too many questions in his heart.

Gao Pian spoke slowly: "Now I can only be sure of one thing."

"What's the matter?" Wang Duo asked immediately.

Gao Pian's voice was low: "King An... should not be underestimated."

Wang Duo was stunned for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

It is enough to be able to see through Li Guanshu's conspiracy in Luoping Village and survive in Niushou Mountain. Li Guanshu's death undoubtedly added a lot of mystery to Li Ye - after all, he died because he was Li Ye's enemy. Whether this matter had anything to do with Li Ye, it was very intriguing.

Wang Duo said: "Before the assessment, I didn't expect that King An could achieve such results. I originally thought that he could perform and not be too behind other royal family members. It would be good. After all, King An could not practice for twenty years, his talent was mediocre, and there was nothing worthy of praise. Over the years, there was no such thing as amazing... Unexpectedly, King An was born after receiving the inheritance of Master Yuan Tian, ​​and his cultivation was diligent and his wisdom was greatly improved, and his personal luck was different now... Fortunately, King An was his own person."

If such a person is an enemy, it would be a big trouble.

Gao Pian chuckled: "Our own people? Prince thinks this way, and King An thinks this way?"

Wang Duo frowned slightly: "What does the general mean?"

Gao Pian's voice was slightly cold: "After the fall of Lao An, King An, did you help me when King An was in a dilemma? Why did you make people become your own person? Just relying on the little help the prince gave him to King An, at most, you would be familiar with him."

Wang Duo was silent.

Gao Pian said again: "We have missed the opportunity to provide timely help, and it is irreversible. Although this icing on the cake is not as good as providing timely help, the difference between doing it or not - and this is our last opportunity to give a big gift."

Wang Duo understood Gao Pian's meaning: "This time, King An ranked first in the official position, and there is no suspense. Regarding the specific official position of the official position..."

Speaking of this, Wang Duo stopped talking and did not say it clearly.

Wang Duo wanted to find a good job for Li Ye, but his opponent and Li Ye's opponent naturally would not agree, and this required a game. Wang Duo was calm and heavy. Although he had decided to seek a real official position for Li Ye at all costs, he would not say anything confidently before the matter was done.

Gao Pian suddenly smiled: "The matter in Niu Shou Mountain seems to be puzzling to us, but there are still people who have a headache of ten thousand times more than us."

Upon hearing this, Wang Duo smiled again.

After a moment, Gao Pian curled his smile and said seriously: "It's not advisable to do it later. We need to make plans for the arrangements for King An to become an official."

Wang Duo nodded: "I will gather everyone and make pre-arrangements."

At this time, the Prime Minister's Mansion.

"After so many years, why did I never realize that Li Guanshu is so useless and is a guy who can do nothing but fail?!" Wei Baoheng rarely gets angry, but at this time he is angry and paces back and forth in the room. The snuff bottle he likes to play with most in his daily life was crushed in his hands and turned into powder.

"Wei Gongxiao, I can't be angry for this person, and I'm so angry." Standing in front of Wei Baoheng was a man under forty years old, with a greasy face and a big belly. Although he was not good at acting, he was the second largest figure in the court after Wei Baoheng. He was the assistant minister of the Ministry of War. Lu Yan.

It is the same as the same as the Secretary of the Central Committee. The person who was given this title was the same prime minister and had the power to confer on national affairs in the imperial court. In the middle and late Tang Dynasty, there were as many prime ministers as there were several prime ministers, which was the reason. But no matter how many prime ministers there were, there was only one ruling prime minister. The current ruling prime minister, Wei Baoheng, who was in charge of the daily affairs of all officials, was the one who led all officials to handle daily affairs.

"Everyone knows that Li Guanshu is my right-hand man. Now that he has committed a crime and has ended up being a tainted person and rebelled, I am also implicated. Because of this in the past two days, I have been questioned a lot in front of Your Majesty. Those officials, Han Wen, and Liu Xingshen, are even more sarcastic and slandering. I am really unbearable!"

Although he was angry for a long time or two, Wei Baoheng was still in a state of peace. He certainly cared about whether Li Guanshu died or lived, after all, the other party was his arm. When Li Guanshu died, his wings were greatly reduced. However, compared to the stigma brought to him by Li Guanshu's rebellion, Wei Baoheng obviously cared more about the latter. After all, he was the ruling prime minister, and he was already in power, and his reputation was too important.

After a long time, Wei Baoheng had finally calmed down and sat down in the main seat: "Have you found out? How did Li Guanshu die?"

"I can't find out. The people who followed Li Guanshu at that time were all dead, and the disciples of Sanqing Temple and the monks of the Imperial Heavenly Prison did not see the incident... I just found out that the place where Li Guanshu died should be in front of a waterfall. There were still sword marks left on the cliff of the waterfall, and the surrounding forests also destroyed a lot of sword energy. Obviously, the one who took action was a real master, and his sword skills were very high."

Lu Yan continued: "The strangest thing is that there are more than ten corpses of the disciples of Sanqing Temple in front of the waterfall, including Xu Qingfeng, the master of Sanqing Temple... Based on the existing evidence, there can only be one result."

Wei Baoheng frowned and said, "Xu Qingfeng killed Li Guanshu?"

"To be precise, they die together." Lu Yan thought, "On Niushou Mountain, in addition to the masters who fought against Nangong No. 1, only Xu Qingfeng could have such strength and sword skills. Moreover, the sword formation of the Sanqing Temple is also well-known..."

"Xu Qingfeng has the strength to practice Qi at the sixth level?" Wei Baoheng browsed, "Li Guanshu took Wei Tianhe with him, and the latter's cultivation level has also reached the fifth level of Qi at the fifth level. He also heard that he is a killer in the martial arts world, and his combat skills are quite outstanding."

Lu Yan thought for a moment: "Xu Qingfeng's cultivation level in the Imperial Heaven Supervision is the fifth level of Qi training, but it is not ruled out that he hides his strength. The masters who appeared in Niushou Mountain that night and fought against Nangong First did have the ability to kill Li Guanshu - after all, they can fight with Nangong First head-on. But according to Nangong First, these people were killed by him and fled one after another, and it was impossible to have the opportunity to kill Li Guanshu."

Wei Baoheng asked patiently: "Those masters appeared in Niushou Mountain, which is unusual. They came too quickly and could only be people from Zhongnan Mountain Taoist Sect. The question is why did these people come to Niushou Mountain and even expose their identities and fight against Nangong First?"
