Chapter 116 The fish is dead and the net is broken
The fire burned fiercely, and the dragon's aging body was engulfed by the flames.
Only five people stood silently by the fire and watched him turn into ashes: Emperor Li Longji of the Tang Dynasty, imperial concubine Yang Yuhuan, Gao Lishi, Lie Feng and Li Ye.
This was the first time Li Ye saw Li Longji. He had a tall figure, gloomy eyes, and strong energy in his body. He really had the aura of dominating the world.
Next to him was the imperial concubine Yang Yuhuan. This was also the first time Li Ye saw her. She was wearing a plain White House skirt and had a plump yet slim figure. Unfortunately, she was wearing a veil and her peerless appearance could not be seen, but she just looked there.
Standing there, she is a beautiful picture, with such charming charm in her bones, even if you can't see her face, you can still be strongly tempted by her.
At this time, Li Ye had a clear understanding that Feilong wanted to save Yang Guifei. It was probably not just Yang Guifei who saved his life, but that he also had an unthinkable affection for Yang Guifei. This made him extremely resentful of Li Longji.
Only then did he say his last words, "What does the Tang Dynasty have to do with him?"
Li Ye sighed softly, Feilong was actually a failed time traveler.
Feilong was finally burned to ashes. Several guards carried his ashes onto the boat and sprinkled them little by little into the Wuting River. Feilong finally returned to his hometown.
I'm afraid this is the true purpose of spring hunting.
Li Longji turned around and left. From the time he came in to the time he left, he never glanced at Li Ye. Instead, Concubine Yang walked up to Li Ye, gave him a deep Wanfu gift, and then followed Li Longji away.
Li Ye silently accepted Yang Guifei's salute. What must Feilong have said to her?
Only Gao Lishi showed surprise and confusion in his eyes, and he quickly followed the imperial concubine away.
Only Lie Feng and Li Ye were left in front of the river.
"Don't tell me anything about his secret!"
Lie Feng whispered to Li Ye: "I don't want to know even your secrets."
"But what would the emperor think if I appeared at the secret funeral of the Supreme Emperor?"
"I tell the emperor that you are the descendant of Feilong, and you are the only one who has mastered the true Suzaku Heart Technique."
"But is this the Pei family's mentality?"
"I told you that the Suzaku Mental Technique I practiced was wrong. Feilong has been looking for the correct mental technique. We have tried many people, but they all failed. Only you succeeded, so Feilong regards you as his successor."
Although the reason is a bit far-fetched, Li Ye can't help it.
Liefeng saw his worry, smiled and comforted him: "The emperor will not take a fourteen-year-old boy seriously. As long as I am here, I will ensure that you are safe!"
With Lie Feng's guarantee, Li Ye's uneasy mood calmed down a little.
Liefeng took out a brocade bag and handed it to him, "This is what Master Feilong left for you."
Li Ye took the brocade bag and asked: "Senior, is he the imperial concubine?"
Lie Feng shook his head, "I have always been his personal bodyguard, and I have also served him in daily life. I can be considered his concubine!"
Although he studies martial arts, he does not know any martial arts. I have been with him for nearly sixty years, and four years after Kaiyuan, he regarded me as his wife and his best friend."
"Then will it be dangerous for senior to stay in the palace?"
Lie Feng laughed, "I have raised the emperor since he was a child, and I also taught him martial arts. Princess Yuzhen is my eldest disciple, what should I worry about?"
"Then junior will be relieved!"
Li Ye bowed to Lie Feng and said goodbye.
Lie Feng looked at his lonely back and sighed softly. She could understand Li Ye's inner loneliness, just like Fei Long.
……..
Li Ye was walking slowly in the camp alone. At this time, he saw the boat on the river and walked up. Several soldiers on guard tried to stop him. Li Ye raised the Tianji tablet and the soldiers quickly retreated.
Li Ye stood by the river and watched silently as several guards scattered Feilong's ashes into the river.
He could imagine Feilong's unwillingness and frustration in this life, and he could also feel his inner loneliness. I'm afraid even Liefeng didn't know his true secret.
Only at the last moment of his death did he finally open his heart to himself.
Feilong still has a few words to say to himself, but what about himself? Who can he tell his secret to?
Could it be that he would not meet the next time traveler until his deathbed?
Li Ye stood silently by the river until dawn, when he turned around and left.
……..
In the emperor's imperial tent, Li Longji stood in front of the tent with his hands behind his hands and stared in the direction of Chang'an.
His father finally passed away, and while he breathed a long sigh of relief, he couldn't be happy at all.
The majestic Emperor passed away, but in the end he was cremated like a commoner and his ashes were scattered into an unknown river.
This made Li Longji feel very uncomfortable. After all, he was his father!
Gao Lishi comforted him in a low voice on the side: "Your Majesty, Feilong Zhenren is the one who discovered the secrets of heaven. He would rather give up the mausoleum and regard Wutingchuan as his home. Naturally, he has his secrets. As long as we satisfy his wishes,
That is the greatest respect for him."
Gao Lishi's comfort eased Li Longji's knot a little. He pondered for a moment and said, "I just remembered something. Many years ago, the Supreme Emperor once told me that Wutingchuan was where he came from and where he returns.
He is the dragon of Wuting River. Now it seems that it is true. I will decree that Wuting River will be listed as a royal river and no one will be allowed to fish in Wuting River!"
"Your Majesty is wise!"
Li Longji asked again: "Who is that child?"
"That child's name is Li Ye. He is the grandson of Li Xiangguo. His mother is a descendant of Lie Feng. He is a good polo player and currently plays for Lao Chen's Tianpeng Polo Team!"
"Are you speaking for him?" Li Longji looked at Gao Lishi with a half-smile.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, I only have Your Majesty's interests in mind. I just want to say that no matter how much Fei Long values him, he is still a fourteen-year-old boy after all. Your Majesty can pay attention to his growth, but there is no need to focus on him."
Li Longji nodded and said, "I don't have the time or energy to pay attention to him, so you can just pay attention to him for me."
The reason why Li Longji didn't ask more questions was because Lie Feng had vouched for Li Ye, and he had to give Lie Feng some face.
………..
In a large house in Wugong County, Absi listened to reports from his subordinates with a serious expression.
This time, Absi brought 2,000 personal guards to Beijing to prevent An Lushan from attacking him. Unexpectedly, the court did not allow so many of his personal soldiers to enter Beijing, and even the Jingzhao Mansion was not allowed to enter. He was ordered to station his personal soldiers there.
In the Fengxiang area.
Bribing the Yang family to intercede failed,
Desperate, Arbus finally decided to make a desperate move and took advantage of the spring hunting opportunity to sneak attack on the emperor, creating chaos and turmoil in the Tang Dynasty.
Spring hunting is an absolute good opportunity. Once successful, not only can he gain a foothold in Fengzhou, but he can even annex Shuofang.
Even if he fails, he can lead his people in the opposite direction to find a new habitat.
What does it mean to lose everything? This is called losing everything!
Absi looked at the map on the table, pointed to a mountain ridge in the north and said, "Where is this?"
"This place is called Tongren Ridge. There are several large ravines behind it. Our brothers are hiding in the easternmost ravine. The brothers are ready and waiting for Ye Hu's order!"
Albus nodded, "Wait for the best time!"
………..
The three-day free hunting period is over, and the fourth day is the formal hunting. In addition to the female family members and palace servants, other officials and guards must participate.
The night before, the army drove a large number of deer and some large beasts into the forest, and everyone was eager to try.
Hunting also requires competition, and the results are generally calculated according to each hunting team. The first three days of free hunting only count wild animals, and today count wild beasts and deer.
According to the current ranking, Li Ye's Cheng family hunting team ranks third. They hunted a golden leopard and captured two small leopards.
Ranked second was the Quang Binh King Hunting Team, which hunted a black bear and three wild boars.
Ranking first was the Dugu family hunting team, which hunted a black bear and a leopard.
At dawn, people were shouting and horses were neighing, and hunting teams began to set off one after another.
After crossing the river, Li Ye and the four brothers of the Cheng family gathered together to discuss.
Cheng Changyin said to everyone: "The deer are in the west and the wild beasts are in the mountains in the north. How can we get there?"
Everyone looked at Li Ye. Li Ye thought for a while and said: "One beast is as strong as ten deer. I suggest you go to the north!"
"Go to Beishan to hunt beasts!" The other three Cheng family disciples also became excited.
"Then go to Beishan!"
Five men and ten horses ran towards the north...
In the vast forest, Li Ye and his party headed north. There were towering trees in the forest, and the light was dark. Countless small animals lived here, but no one was interested in prey such as hares and pheasants. They were for everyone to practice.
The real prey that counts is deer and beasts.
At this time, a group of dozens of fat sika deers galloped past them. Everyone was overjoyed and chased after them with their bows and arrows drawn.
Li Ye stared at the fattest king deer. The two antlers on his head were half a meter long.
According to the rules of spring hunting, the valuable part of the prey belongs to the hunter. Logically, the leopard skin should belong to Li Ye, but he gave it to Cheng Changyin.
He doesn't plan to give away the velvet antler today. He plans to keep it for his family.
Li Ye galloped on his horse, drew his bow and drew an arrow, his eyes locked on the Deer King.
At this moment, a wolf-fang arrow shot towards the Deer King first with a 'whoosh!' sound.
