Li Chong did not tell anyone about the placement of chess pieces in the Shangguan royal family. One can imagine the importance he attached to Li Taibai.
He originally thought that one day, when the Li family wanted to overthrow the Shangguan royal family, he would let this chess piece come into play, but he did not expect that something had happened since he had used it so early.
"Father, it's so late. You came to me. Do you have any orders?"
Soon, Li Jiangxiong came to Li Zhong and asked with a puzzled look on his face.
Li Zhong said solemnly: "Something happened!"
Li Jiangxiong was startled and trembled all over. He looked a little worried at first, but he immediately became energetic.
"Father, what happened?"
To be summoned so late, something big must have happened.
Li Zhong told the story about Li Taibai, the chess piece planted in the Shangguan royal family. Li Jiangxiong's eyes were full of shock. Of course he knew Li Taibai, but he didn't expect that this person turned out to be a member of the Li family.
"Father, you asked him to attack Yang Chen, but now he has disappeared. Could it be that he was killed by Yang Chen?"
Li Jiangxiong asked, his face turning pale.
This matter is of great importance. If this is really the case, it can only explain one problem. Yang Chen has always been acting, and martial arts has always been there.
Thinking of this, Li Jiangxiong's face turned extremely pale. If this is really the case, it means that Yang Chen is indeed testing the forces that are friendly with him, just to see how much he can survive when he becomes a useless person.
People want to be on his side.
Li Zhong said solemnly: "This is just a guess, but there is another guess. When Li Taibai attacked Yang Chen, he was discovered by the Shangguan Royal Family, and now he is controlled by the Shangguan Royal Family."
"No matter which possibility it is, it is a crisis for us."
Li Chong's face was filled with unprecedented worry.
After Li Jiangxiong learned all this, he became very frightened. As Li Chong said, no matter what the possibility was, it was a crisis for the Li family.
Because either Yang Chen's martial arts was not abolished, or the Shangguan royal family discovered that Li Taibai was a chess piece.
Yang Chen's martial arts is still there, even if he doesn't take action against the Li family now, it will be a matter of time before he takes action.
If the Shangguan royal family found out that Li Taibai was a pawn, it would be very likely that they would torture him to extract a confession, and then learn about the relationship between Li Taibai and the Li family.
Therefore, no matter what the possibility is, it will be a crisis for the Li family.
"In this case, you will go to the Shangguan Royal Family early tomorrow morning to meet Shangguan Emperor and see his reaction." Li Chong said suddenly.
Li Jiangxiong nodded: "I understand. You want to test Shangguan Huang to determine whether Li Taibai lost contact and was killed by Yang Chen or discovered by the Shangguan royal family."
Li Jiao nodded: "Only when we are sure what happened to Li Taibai can we discuss countermeasures."
Li Jiangxiong responded: "Yes!"
Early the next morning, Li Jiangxiong came to the Shangguan Royal Family in person and met the Shangguan Emperor in the Shangguan Palace.
Emperor Shangguan, who was sitting on the throne, asked with a smile: "Tomorrow is the big day for you and my family. Why is the head of the Li family here today?"
Li Jiangxiong smiled slightly: "That's right, I came here today just to ask if the emperor has any other instructions for tomorrow's marriage? As long as the Li family can do it, the emperor will not worry about it."
There was a slight smile on Shangguanhuang's lips, and his eyes were always fixed on Li Jiangxiong. He always felt that Li Jiangxiong's visit early in the morning had something else to do.
Otherwise, why would you come to ask about such a trivial matter in person?
"Master Li, do you have anything else to say?" Shangguan Huang asked with a smile.
When Shangguan Huang asked this question, his heart suddenly sank. Could it be that Li Taibai was really controlled by the Shangguan royal family?
If this is really the case, would it make Shangguanhuang suspect that he was in the Li family if he came over so eagerly to test it?
After a brief silence, Li Jiangxiong suddenly said: "To be honest, Your Majesty, I do have something to ask you."
"oh?"
Shangguan Huang asked with a smile: "What's the matter? Just tell me! If it's not convenient to say it, I'll let the others leave."
Li Jiangxiong shook his head: "There is nothing that cannot be said."
He organized his words before saying: "That's right, tomorrow is the big day for Princess Rou and my grandson Li Baojun. I heard that Princess Rou and Mr. Yang are close friends. Tomorrow is Princess Rou's big day. I want to invite
Mr. Yang will be their witness and please ask the Emperor for permission."
As soon as these words came out, the smile on Shangguan Huang's face suddenly faded, and a vague chill spread from his body.
Li Jiangxiong approached Yang Chen before, which made him very dissatisfied. This time, Li Jiangxiong dared to ask Yang Chen to be the witness. What kind of agreement did the Li family reach with Yang Chen?
Shangguan Huang had reason to suspect that Li Jiangxiong went to Yang Chen that day and discussed some things, and those things were most likely related to joining forces to deal with the Shangguan royal family.
At this moment, a servant came in a hurry and said, "Your Majesty, Li Taibai is missing!"
As soon as these words came out, Li Jiangxiong could not help but tremble. At this time, people from the royal family came to report that Li Taibai was missing. Was this deliberately arranged by Emperor Shangguan?
Or did the royal family really just discover that Li Taibai was missing?
His eyes were fixed on Shangguan Huang, but he saw that Shangguan Huang's expression did not change, and he seemed not to have heard the report of his subordinates.
Li Jiangxiong suddenly had an answer in his mind. Seeing how calm Emperor Shangguan looked, I am afraid that Li Taibai was controlled by him. Otherwise, how could he still be so calm after hearing that a powerful man at the peak of the divine realm disappeared?
"Your Majesty, if it's inconvenient, forget it, I just mentioned it like this." Li Jiangxiong said quickly.
Shangguan Huang suddenly burst out laughing: "Since the head of the Li family wants Mr. Yang to be the witness, it's a happy decision. But I don't know whether Mr. Yang is willing to accept it."
Li Jiangxiong said quickly: "If Mr. Yang is not willing, we have other candidates for the witness, so please help me tell Mr. Yang."
Shangguan Huang said: "Okay!"
Li Jiangxiong added: "In that case, I will go back first and see you tomorrow!"
It wasn't until Li Jiangxiong left Shangguan Huang's palace that a chill appeared in Shangguan Huang's sinister eyes. He looked at the servant who reported Li Taibai's disappearance and asked, "You said Li Taibai disappeared?"
The servant nodded quickly: "In the past, Li Taibai would get up on time to practice every morning, but today, he didn't."
Shangguanhuang didn't speak anymore, but everyone present felt anger and a strong murderous intention from his body.
"Retreat!"
He waved his hand, then turned and left.
All the members of the royal family looked at each other in confusion. Shangguan Huang never got angry on weekdays, but today, his mood seemed to be out of control.
Shangguan Huang found Shangguan Fu and said, "Uncle Huang, I would like to ask you to come with me to meet Yang Chen."
