Late at night, Puzhou Post.

King Jin and his team did not enter the city. In order to speed up their journey, they stayed at the relay house on the official road.

The journey was arduous, and everyone was sleeping soundly. Suddenly, a miserable shout came from the wooden house where Wei was being held.

Li Junxian was leading the troops to the sentry post. Hearing the news, he hurried over. He kicked the door open and saw Wei Daipai, who was tied up in all sorts of flowers, twitching on the ground. His face was black and the corners of his mouth were spitting white foam. It was obvious that he was poisoned!

Li Junxian was instantly shocked and enraged, “What’s going on?!”

After drinking, Wei Daijian twitched and seemed to be out of breath.

“Who did it?!” Li Junxian was furious and shouted, “Capture everyone in the post office and seal off the nearby passageways. We must catch the murderer!”

“Yes!!”

This uproar caused the entire relay hall to explode. There were already quite a few people in King Jin’s group, along with the officials and officials passing by, as well as the Cheng soldiers of the relay hall. There were a total of six or seven hundred people, and none of them were able to sleep and wake up from the noise. Li Junxian gathered everyone together to investigate the murderer.

At dawn, the people from Pu Zhou Yamen also came. Li Junxian revealed his identity and ordered the secretariat office to arrest the murderer in the shortest amount of time possible. Because the deceased was a serious criminal of the Imperial Court, the corpse had to be transported back to the Imperial Capital to be sent!

Pu Prefecture Governor Yamen could be considered to have fallen into great misfortune. Upon receiving such a big case, the entire prefecture fell into a state of tension and busyness.

News of the court’s repeated offender Wei Daibian’s sudden death at the Puzhou Post quickly spread.

Because of the case, King Jin and his party were delayed in Pu Zhou for a day, and then left for Chang’an. Wei Daitian’s “corpse” was put into a coffin and shipped back together.

After entering the Chang’an Earth Realm, Li Chunfeng suddenly said, “Don’t directly enter Chang’an, but take a detour around Zhongnan Mountain.” Li Zhi and Li Junxian didn’t dare to ask any further and could only do as they were told. At the foot of Zhongnan Mountain, Li Chunfeng told the Prince of Jin and his party to go up the mountain first. Before leaving, Li Chunfeng said to King Jin that he saw a big fire on Mount Zhongnan tonight. It was where King Wu was, so he asked King Jin to send people up the mountain to help him as soon as possible!

Li Chunfeng was so mysterious and mysterious that Li Junxian and Li Zhi were full of suspicion. However, because Li Chunfeng respected the Holy Order, they didn’t dare to ask any further and could only obey.

As a result, King Jin and his group of more than 500 troops set up camp at the foot of Mount Zhongnan and temporarily rested their horses. After nightfall, a fire broke out on the mountain and he went up to save them.

Along the way, Wei Daiqing’s coffins were all guarded by people, and today was no exception. The carriage with the coffin was covered with a marching tent. Li Junxian retreated and personally entered the tent before knocking on the coffin.

“We’re here? Quickly let me out!” Someone’s voice came from inside.

If it wasn’t for the fact that he knew that this coffin was filled with living people, no one would have been scared out of their wits.

Li Junxian smiled and walked forward to move the moving coffin plate. Wei Daijie, whose face was painted pitch black, sat up from inside. His face was as scary as Rakshasa’s.

“I’m suffocating! Dig two more holes under the coffin later!” Wei Daijin said as he wiped the sweat off his forehead.

“No need.” Li Junxian handed him two steamed buns. “I’ve wronged you these past few days. Now we’ve arrived at the foot of Mount Zhongnan.”

Wei Daijian’s action of biting the steamed bun stagnated for a moment. “Is it Chang’an?”

“That’s right.” Li Junxian knitted his brows and said, “I think it’s time for the dust to settle in this chaotic situation. Later, as long as a big fire burns on Mount Zhongnan, everything will come to light!”

Zhongnan Mountain, deep in the forest.

Zhao Chong walked step by step through the pitch-black forest, his eyes shining brightly like hawks in the dark night.

Zhao Chong stopped at the foot of a towering pagoda tree. Because he saw a person standing under the tree, the surroundings were too dark to see his face clearly, and he saw white robes fluttering about with a rather gloomy ghost intent.

“You’re here?” The white-clothed man asked.

“Yes, I’m here.” Zhao Chong said, “You’ve finally appeared? We’re getting impatient.”

“Then.” The white-clothed man suddenly threw something at Zhao Chong, and Zhao Chong reached out to receive it.

It was an extremely exquisite small box. Zhao Chong opened it and a strange light flashed, illuminating the darkness like day!

It was also because of this strange light that Zhao Chong and the white-clothed man could clearly see each other’s faces. The two of them tacitly smiled at each other, and Zhao Chong closed the box again.

“What a treasure!”

“This pearl is called ‘Saint Subhuti’. It was a special treasure offered by the Silla Kingdom. It was once embedded in the crown of the Silla King and was priceless. Back then, Silla was besieged by Koguryo and Baekchi to be saved in the Great Tang Dynasty, so she offered this treasure.” The white-clothed man said, “Take it and fly away. From now on, don’t appear in the Central Plains again!”

Zhao Chong smiled, “This is much less than the reward given by King Wei.”

“Not necessarily.” The white-clothed man said normally, “King Wei is giving you money to buy your life. Saint Subhuti is your pension money. Which one do you choose?”

“What do you say?” Zhao Chong smiled and put the small box into his arms. He patted it and said with a smile, “Your Majesty has already treated me well since I was able to live to this day. Now that you have given me the precious pearl and let me go, I am satisfied.”

“Where’s His Highness King Wu?” The white-clothed man asked.

“I’m asleep.” Zhao Chong said, “In the afternoon, my men saw a group of soldiers at the foot of the mountain. After inquiring, they found out that it was King Jin’s group. Among them … I also saw you, Taishi Li! I knew it was time to end this. So I gave His Highness King Wu a little drug at dinner to make him sleep soundly.”

“Very good. Your work is indeed reassuring.” Taishi Li, Li Chunfeng, said in a deep voice, “Then, you can leave now!”

Zhao Chong gritted his teeth and whispered, “What will happen to everyone in the Taoist temple, including King Wu?”

“There’s no need to ask.” Li Chunfeng’s voice sank, “There are some things that you shouldn’t know!”

“Alright, I’ll go … I’ll go!” Zhao Chong took a deep breath and nodded with his brows furrowed. “Although I am a fool, I have always believed in the word’righteousness’. This time …”

“What is righteousness? What is righteousness? What is small righteousness?”

Zhao Chong was stunned and sighed helplessly, “Alright, I understand … the dignity of the royal family and the stability of the country are the greatest righteousness in the world!”

“It’s good that you understand.” Li Chunfeng said indifferently, “Let’s go! You are already a dead person, so you should never appear in the Great Tang. A secret treasure like Saint Subhuti can no longer appear in the Central Plains.”

“I understand …” Zhao Chong nodded. “I will escape from the Western Regions and hide my name. I will never return to the Central Plains again!”

“It’s good to go to the Western Regions.” Li Chunfeng said leisurely, “If you see that person, you can tell him the details of the King Wu case and tell him that His Majesty the Emperor has always trusted him and valued him, and … missed him very much!”

“Heh!” Zhao Chong smiled. “How did Taishi Li know that I would meet that person? I know too much. He is an ominous person. In order not to implicate my friends, I will only quietly live alone from now on. I will not see anyone else-goodbye!”

With that, Zhao Chong’s figure flashed and disappeared into the dense forest.

Li Chunfeng sighed softly, shook his head and said to himself, “It’s true that people don’t do things for themselves, heaven and earth destroy them!” … Now that the world was in turmoil, everyone was like chess pieces on a chessboard, unable to help but rise and fall. However, how many people understood that the overall situation had already been decided? His Majesty the Emperor lay in a daze day and night in Penglai, but everything in his sleeve was under his control; “Qin Mubai’s Eight Wind Styles of the Fu Clan’s Mansion remained motionless, but he had already secretly decided the outcome of the battle with Tian Xian.”

“In the end, all of these major events were played out by the two of them. In the end, it was the two of them who dominated the outcome of the situation!” Li Chunfeng shook his head and sighed, “So it turns out that true experts don’t see saber light or sword shadows when fighting … We are stupid and can only fight to the death at their mercy! … Today, I finally understand what kind of person is truly worthy of the word’fierce ‘!”

Soon after, a big fire broke out in the woods. The Green Forest experts in the Taoist temple were all woken up. They were about to join forces to fight the enemy, but their bodies were all weak and their heads were dizzy. Let alone fighting, even if they were to stand firm, it would not be easy.

At this moment, countless officers and soldiers rushed over from all directions. He rushed into the Taoist temple and killed everyone without saying a word!

King Wu Li Ke was naturally woken up, but when he woke up, he found that he was tied firmly and thrown on the bed. His mouth was stuffed with cotton cloth, and he could not make a sound. In the Taoist temple, there was a blaze of killing screams everywhere!

If he wanted to struggle, the ropes were tightly tied and his limbs were weak! He couldn’t help but be shocked in his heart–“Could it be that my time has come?–Zhao Chong!!”

At this moment, the door was kicked open and someone shouted, “Found it! Found it! His Highness King Wu is here!”

Immediately, a group of Baiji elite soldiers rushed in, led by Baiji Token-Li Junxian!

“Your Majesty, please forgive me for being late. Your Highness, please forgive me!” Li Junxian hurriedly untied Li Ke himself after seeing the gift.

“What … what’s going on?” When Li Ke asked this question, a person rushed in from the door and cried out in alarm–

“Third brother? Where’s my third brother?!”

Li Ke was stunned, “King Jin?”

“Third brother, third brother! You’re really fine! That’s great!” Li Zhi grabbed Li Ke’s arms with a confused and pleasantly surprised expression.

Li Zhi actually cried happily.

Li Ke was a little stunned for a moment and thought to himself, What is going on? I was clearly waiting for news with Zhao Chong, but I didn’t expect King Jin and Li Junxian to “save” me? Actually, I had always been under house arrest, and Zhao Chong didn’t feel sorry for me, nor was he my savior-how did the two of them start fighting?

At this moment, Li Chunfeng walked up and smiled at Li Ke. Then, he cupped his hands and said, “Your Highness King Wu, King Jin received a secret report that your Highness was robbed by thieves and hid in this Taoist temple in Mount Zhongnan. Therefore, King Jin used a fake method of annihilating Guo to kill the Taoist temple and save His Highness King Wu while he was traveling north through Mount Zhongnan.”

Li Ke suddenly understood! ! !

“Understood, understood” He took a deep breath and sighed in his heart, “Everything is a trap! It’s a trap! It’s a tragic trap of bitter flesh!”

Thus, Li Ke knelt down in front of everyone and said, “Many thanks to King Jin for saving my life! This kindness is like remaking, but I will never forget it. I swear to repay it with death!”

Li Zhi immediately panicked and knelt down at Li Ke with a soft knee. “How can Third Brother do this? How can there be a reason for elder brother to kneel down? Haven’t you killed your younger brother? Hurry up and invite him to stand up!”

Everyone tried to persuade each other, and the two princes stood up together.

Li Ke held Li Zhi’s hand with a smile and said, “Ninth brother, from now on, foolish brother and you will live and die together in the same boat! Everyone present can testify!”

Li Chunfeng watched all of this quietly with a gratified and helpless smile on his face. … Prince Wu is wise and clever, Prince Jin is dull and stupid, this can be seen! From now on, the news that King Jin had saved King Wu’s life would spread throughout the world. In the future, when Prince Wu ascended the throne, Prince Jin’s life would be safe!

Your Majesty the Emperor, you really have put in a lot of effort!

Unfortunately, there were more than a dozen vengeful souls in this temple that should have saved him!

…

In a distant mountain depression, Zhao Chong stared blankly at the flames soaring into the sky. He clenched his teeth tightly and his eyes shone with a distant flame.

Zhao Chong knelt on his knees and kowtowed eighteen times.

“Brothers! It’s not that I’m afraid of death and want to enjoy wealth and honor alone! However, this situation before me is too dangerous. There must be some people who have served as River Soldiers and sacrificed their lives! Otherwise … tens of thousands of people might die, and the world would be in chaos from now on!”

“Brothers, listen to your vengeful souls! The poison was planted by me, and the fire was also set by me! If there is an afterlife, I am willing to be sliced to death by thousands of knives, without complaint!”
