Li Xian thought hard all the way, but was always at a loss, because as time went by, he had felt that Lin Cheng, the deputy commander in his palace, the informant around Empress Wu, no longer trusted him as much as before.
Especially the wooing of Zhang Wuchen is obviously not as good as before. On the contrary, he has to personally follow him on many things to feel at ease, and the reason is even more difficult for Li Xian to refuse: everything should be considered for Li Xian's safety.
All of this was enough to prove that Lin Cheng began to have doubts about his previous hidden designs. Fortunately, Li Xian, Zhang Wuchen and others were thoughtful people, and Lin Cheng had never been caught with any evidence.
"It's hard to guard against thieves day and night." There is always such a person watching by his side. No one feels uncomfortable, but the other person's status is there, and he is appointed by the court, and there are other people behind his back.
With the support of Empress Wu, even if Li Xian had intentions, he would not dare to touch him now, because as long as Lin Cheng had a problem, Li Xian would be the equivalent of three hundred taels of silver in this place and directly tell Empress Wu that he had a problem here.
Li Xian naturally disdains such stupid things. He believes that as long as Lin Cheng can't grasp the evidence, he can't do anything to himself, let alone tell Empress Wu the suspicions in his heart, because without any evidence, Empress Wu will only scold him as incompetent.
, then it will not be Li Xian but him who will be unlucky.
Therefore, at least at this stage, he must save Lin Cheng's life. At the same time, he must do some things half-truly and half-falsely. The fake side is naturally for Lin Cheng to see, and the real side is for him.
Own.
This naturally made it more difficult for Li Xian to do things.
For example, this time I went to the Shaolin Temple to meet Master Xuanzang.
If the procedures on the surface are followed, Li Xian only needs to go to the Shaolin Temple to express his condolences and then leave. Even if he is Xuanzang's disciple, he can only stay a little longer. Even so, Lin Cheng has
The reason is that he is constantly watching, and as long as Lin Cheng is here, the secret between him and Xuanzang cannot be revealed, so the meaning of his coming here has been reduced by more than half.
The purpose of his coming here is of course to see his master for the last time and express his affection as a disciple, but the most important thing is naturally whether Buddhists will continue to support him after Xuanzang's death and who will take on Xuanzang's important responsibility.
question.
Although this problem can be solved when Li Xian is away, Li Xian also knows that he still owes Xuanzang a promise, and this promise is the most important guarantee for Xuanzang and even the entire Buddhist sect to firmly believe in supporting him.
Therefore, this time Li Xian must reach an agreement with Xuanzang no matter what, and this agreement cannot be known to anyone in Wugan, especially Lin Cheng who obeyed Empress Wu's order to monitor him.
This is also the key point of Li Xian's worries about this matter.
After returning to the palace, Li Xian thought for a whole day to no avail. Lying on the couch at night, he tossed and turned and couldn't sleep. Finally, he became impatient and simply put on his clothes, then opened the machine he made. The mechanism quietly
When he moved the bed, he saw that there was a hole under the bed, which was the tunnel that Li Xian had quietly dug. This tunnel led directly to a secret house on the south side of the palace, where Dou Xiantong and his sister Lin Xianer lived.
It is the headquarters of the Snake Spirit Organization formed by the two sisters.
This tunnel leads directly to the living room outside the two sisters' bedroom. Unexpectedly, an accident happened this time.
In fact, Li Xian usually contacted them through this secret passage. Of course, this kind of contact was usually on a fixed day, or the two sisters were notified in advance before contact. But today Li Xian only made a temporary decision, and even Li Xian himself
None of them knew about it in advance, let alone Sister Dou Xiantong.
But it was said that Li Xian came to the tunnel exit, gently moved the machine, and then jumped out of the exit. But in just a moment, he heard a scream, and at the same time, he saw a cloud of pink.
Greasy snow white.
It turns out that these sisters are taking a bath here!
Two beauties, one large and one small, lay naked in the bathtub. Li Xian had a panoramic view of everything. Naturally, he was extremely shy. The eldest sister Dou Xiantong was about to commit a murderous act, but when she saw clearly that it was Li Xian, she
Unable to take action, he had to shrink his body under the water.
"Well, I didn't mean it, please don't mind me." Li Xian knew he was being rude, so he apologized hastily and hurriedly jumped into the cave entrance again.
It wasn't until after a cup of tea that a beautiful figure appeared at the entrance of the cave, and then said angrily: "You shameless brat, come out."
"Uh, how did a certain person become a shameless brat?" Li Xian walked out of the tunnel with an aggrieved look on his face and kept complaining, but he knew that he was being unreasonable this time and did not dare to express what he was thinking.
"Huh, you don't accept it, don't you? Let me tell you, in the middle of the night, if you don't have a good sleep, you come to my place to spy, who are you if you are not a shameless kid?" After all, Li Xian is only a ten-year-old kid.
In the eyes of adults like Dou Xiantong, it is nothing, so the embarrassment just lasted for a moment, and Dou Xiantong stopped caring about it, but the anger just now did not come out. At the same time, in order to cover up the embarrassment in his heart, he deliberately used words to make fun of the other person.
That's all.
"Hey, I'll tell you the truth, Madam (note: 'Niangzi' was a common name for women in the Tang Dynasty, similar to the current 'beauty'), Xiao Wang didn't mean to disturb me this time. He really had a problem in his heart that he couldn't solve, and he had no intention of sleeping for a long night.
, so I came to your mansion to relax." Li Xian's face was full of embarrassment and sorrow, he sighed softly, and then stopped talking.
"What's going on that can stump even a cunning and cunning person like you?" Dou Xiantong couldn't help but asked strangely when he saw Li Xian's sad face, which didn't look like he was faking it.
"Where am I so cunning again?" Li Xian was dissatisfied, but he also knew that a good man would not fight with a woman, so he had no choice but to selectively not listen, and then told the difficult problem he encountered with a wry smile.
"What's so difficult about this? Since you think that guy is in the way, just get rid of him. If you find it inconvenient, I can take action." After more than a year of hard training, Dou Xiantong's kung fu is better than that of the time he assassinated Empress Wu.
He was already a completely different person, so he was still confident about assassinating an ordinary military attaché.
Li Xian naturally knew what Dou Xiantong was capable of, but this was not a problem that could be solved by force, so he smiled bitterly and said: "For Xiao Wang, the problem that can be solved by force is not a big problem now, but the problem now is,
I can't touch this guy at all, otherwise my secret will be exposed. In this case, my mother will definitely be on guard against me, and this will definitely not be conducive to our grand plan."
"Humph, I don't understand the intrigues in politics and officialdom. Just tell me, how can I help you?"
"I don't know how to do this." After hearing Dou Xiantong's words, Li Xian immediately spread his hands and said with a wry smile: "It would be best to have someone who knows the art of disguise and can dress others up like me.
I would pretend to be someone else, hide it from the guy when necessary, and meet the master secretly. But this is just my imagination, how can there be such a magical skill in this world?"
"Humph, I knew you had bad intentions and was a treacherous and cunning villain. I didn't know where I found out that I knew the art of disguise, so I tried to test it with words. Seeing that you were in such a difficult situation, I decided to help you.
With that said, as long as you take my sister with you to Shaolin this time, I will definitely be able to get you out of that guy's surveillance and get your wish."
"Ah? Madam, are you saying that your Majesty knows the art of disguise? Haha, this is a perfect path. With Madam, I, Li Xian, have no worries." After hearing what Dou Xiantong said, Li Xian said,
Naturally, he was overjoyed. Even ecstatic could not describe his mood at the moment.
"Wait a minute, your matter has been solved for me. Now should I talk about my sisters?" Dou Xiantong did not accept Li Xian's thanks. Instead, he stared at Li Xian coldly with his almond-shaped eyes.
said.
"Uh, haha, I don't know if my sister has anything else that needs Xiao Wang's service. Madam, I have given you orders, and Xiao Wang will go through fire and water without hesitation." Although Li Xian saw that the other party had bad intentions, but now he had to ask for help, he had to decide to leave.
Take it one step at a time and express your determination first.
But I heard Dou Xiantong sneer and say: "I'm afraid this matter will be difficult for the king to handle. May I ask, Your Excellency, King Zhou, for spying on women bathing and ruining people's reputations, what crime should be punished in the Tang Dynasty?"
"Ah? This..." Li Xian didn't expect that the other party would pursue the embarrassing incident that just happened at this time. He suddenly felt speechless and didn't know what to say. He was completely stunned.
"You broke into my sister's room today and ruined my sister's honor. If you don't have an explanation, don't blame my sister for being ruthless." Dou Xiantong's face was as cold as frost, and he pulled out the sword from the wall and pointed it at Li Xian.
Said coldly.
"No, I wonder how Madam you want me to explain to you? If I can do it, I will definitely try my best to do it." Li Xian's head was covered in cold sweat, but he didn't bother to wipe it off, and said quickly.
"Humph, if nature can do it, just let me castrate you with my sword and make you like the eunuch in the palace, and my sisters' reputation will not be damaged." Dou Xiantong raised his sword and faced it.
Li Xian made two supplementary gestures, and then said calmly.
"Ah? This, this can't be done. If this is the case, I might as well just die." Li Xian wiped his cold sweat and thought, this woman wouldn't be so vicious, right? If she were to come for real, he would have no choice but to say
Ran away.
But Dou Xiantong nodded and said, "I also know that you will never agree to this matter. In this case, there is only one request left, and that is that you must be responsible for my sister in the future."
"Ah? I don't know how to be responsible for the law?" Li Xian suddenly became nervous when he heard this. If the other party forced him to marry Lin Xian'er, although this little girl is indeed lovable, after all, he is young and cannot make the decision on his own marriage.
If this offends Empress Wu, it is no joke.
"Hmph, do you still think you are asked to marry my sister? You really think that my little sister is as beautiful as a fairy. How can I give it to a shameless person like you? What you mean by being responsible is that you have to help me.
My little sister solves the household registration problem and gives her a good background. Hey, that's all I want, but my little sister is only nine years old, how can I live my whole life in such a dark and mysterious way like you?" This chapter has been completed!
