"Your Majesty..." Bai Song was slightly startled, "Did your Majesty have arrangements in advance?"
"If the New Tang Dynasty is not eliminated, I will feel uneasy!" Li Shimin suddenly became serious, "Since the New Tang Dynasty has entered Chang'an and wants to be detrimental to me, this is the opportunity given by God to let me put an end to the remnants of the New Tang Dynasty.
Tomorrow's Alchemy Conference will proceed as usual, but I want to see what kind of waves New Tang Dynasty can make in Chang'an City."
Looking at the emperor's slightly ferocious face, Bai Song was a little worried.
The emperor is in the Ming Dynasty, and the new Tang Dynasty is in the dark. If something unexpected happens, the consequences will be disastrous.
Bai Song stepped forward and reminded: "Your Majesty, this matter cannot be so risky. What if..."
"Bai Song, do you know why I asked you to oversee all the affairs of the Alchemy Conference alone?" Li Shimin suddenly interrupted.
"Please make it clear, Your Majesty."
"Because you are different from others. Once those old ministers know what will happen tomorrow, they will definitely not let me take risks myself. Unfortunately, you, like those old men, are actually worried about my safety! I am not afraid, so what are you afraid of?"
"This..." Bai Song didn't know how to answer.
It's a good thing that the emperor is determined, but if New Tang dares to take action in Chang'an, it must have been carefully planned.
The power of the imperial court is relatively dispersed. If there is an assassination tomorrow, it will definitely be a duel between masters, and it cannot be solved by relying on guards.
The main competition is the strength of the Grandmaster level.
Speaking of which, the imperial court has very limited masters at the master level, and most masters at the master level appear in the world.
Who knows how many grandmasters Xintang has prepared?
No matter how you think about it, tomorrow's meeting is full of dangers. Once the emperor is killed, what will happen to the whole world?
Bai Song cherishes the current peace and does not want that situation to occur.
Li Shimin pointed to the stool opposite him and motioned for Bai Song to sit down first.
Bai Song hesitantly went to sit down, and Li Shimin also sat down and looked at Bai Song levelly.
"How much strength will you use in tomorrow's battle?"
When this question was raised, Li Shimin skipped the first issue directly, indicating that it was something that could not be changed.
"How much effort?" Bai Song thought, "What does the emperor mean by this?"
"Are you living a stable life in Chang'an City now?"
"Safe."
"How have I treated you in recent years?"
"The Emperor treated Bai Song well."
"If something had happened to me, would your family still be able to establish a foothold in Chang'an?"
"..."
"So I ask you how much strength you will contribute in tomorrow's battle?"
"The emperor suspects that I will not do my best to protect the emperor?"
"I want to see your determination."
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will definitely do my best."
"New Tang Dynasty has been dormant in the martial arts world for many years and has attracted a large number of martial arts masters. In the martial arts world, a master is a crime of force. If they want to assassinate me, they must rely on a large number of masters at the master level. Only the masters can compete with the masters.
But the imperial court does not have many master-level masters. Once the assassination starts tomorrow, the masters that can be mobilized in Chang'an will be far from enough to cope with it. But you are different. There are many master-level masters around you, and I know this very well."
"..."
"It may be okay to ask those masters to protect you, but I just don't understand. If I ask them to protect me, will they do their best?"
"In view of the stability of the world, I will find a way to make them go all out."
"With your words, I feel relieved."
After speaking, Li Shimin took out a piece of paper with a roster on it.
Bai Song looked confused and cast a doubtful look.
"This is the list of tomorrow's New Tang killers. There are seventeen people in total. All of them are master-level experts."
"What?!"
Bai Song was shocked.
Seventeen Grandmasters?
What kind of international joke are you kidding?
Bai Song quickly looked at the list and found several familiar names on it.
The hero Zhuang Xu Zhen, the leader of the Holy Lotus Sect whose name is unknown, and Lingxiu Palace Beili!
This is impossible!
"Your Majesty, can you trust this list? Beili, she...she..."
"Beili has been under my surveillance for a long time. Do you think she is here to participate in the Alchemy Conference? Have you never thought that she is attending the Alchemy Conference just to get closer to me?"
"..."
Bai Song's back felt a little cold.
This list probably includes all the famous masters in the world.
With a lineup like theirs, the emperor actually wants to confront them head-on?
Bai Song wanted to go to Beili immediately and ask for details.
But Li Shimin whispered: "You have no idea how powerful this woman from Beili is. When you went to Japan, she had become a recognized grandmaster in today's martial arts world. Why did Xu Hua appear in Chang'an? He was invited by me.
Contain Lingxiu Palace Beili!"
Bai Song was a little confused. He didn't expect that this matter had already affected everyone around him.
But he was completely kept in the dark about the Alchemy Conference he proposed.
Thinking about the attitude of the head of the Secret Service in front of him, maybe he was just approaching him to secretly investigate the people around him, right?
Li Shimin stood up and patted Bai Song on the shoulder: "Don't worry, I am full of confidence in what will happen tomorrow, and don't think too much. Remember, you have only one goal, which is to find the remnants of the Li family and kill them. All of them
Everything will be solved."
Bai Song pondered for a long time and finally nodded.
Bai Song stood up and wanted to leave.
Li Shimin said seriously: "Don't leave the palace today and live with me."
"Your Majesty, I need to go back and make preparations. If not, I'm afraid my people won't be able to handle it if something happens tomorrow."
"You have Sword Thirteen by your side. The rest is not important. You just need to stay by my side and stop the woman from Lingxiu Palace when necessary. This is also a very important task."
"The emperor seems to have arranged everything already?"
Li Shimin smiled and patted Bai Song on the shoulder: "Don't worry, there will be a big show tomorrow. As long as you are absolutely loyal to me, I will give you more after tomorrow."
Bai Song stayed with Li Shimin, but he never relaxed for a moment.
It was just after noon, and it was time for the emperor to have his meal.
There was no spare person in the West Neiyuan, so the emperor asked Bai Song to sit and eat with him.
Bai Song readily accepted it. He was also a pretentious person. Since the emperor wanted absolute loyalty, he should receive absolute treatment.
During the dinner, the two of them did not communicate much. Bai Song ate the royal meal for the first time and felt that it was not as delicious as the food in the palace.
The father-in-law never left the emperor's side.
Only now did Bai Song realize that the emperor was not as relaxed as he showed.
In the afternoon, Jian Shisan came into the palace. He seemed to have noticed something and went into the palace to ask about Bai Song's situation.
Li Shimin did not stop him and let Bai Song see Jian Shisan.
Bai Song asked Jian Shisan to go out with a message at the last moment, asking his people to be prepared tomorrow and respond to changes at any time.
