Datang: Longevity for Thousands of Years, Exposed by Xiao Sizi

Chapter 59: Silly little Sizi, exposing Qin Changye!
"That one, she is the maidservant of His Highness Changle."

Li Shimin made up an excuse and took the jade pendant.

He was a little emotional.

This thing….
But Changle took great pains to find a master to make it, and Xiao Sizi loved it so much that sometimes when he wanted to take it to have a look, he wouldn't give it to him, acting like a little miser.

It’s so precious!

I didn't expect that he would be willing to be pawned at this critical juncture.

This indirectly shows that Xiao Sizi and her elder sister have a very good relationship, which also makes Li Shimin very relieved that the two sisters are not as troublesome as Li Chengqian and Li Tai.

"Is she the maidservant of His Highness Changle? That's not right? Isn't she... His Highness Xiao Sizi?"

Qin Changye frowned slightly.

Li Shimin was stunned: "This..."

He was speechless for a moment.

Could it be that Xiao Sizi has already told this young man that she is Her Royal Highness the Princess?

But this shouldn’t be the case!

If the young man knew that it was the princess, how could he act so calmly? When talking about the little Sizi, he showed no fear or awe, and was extremely calm, just like an ordinary little sister.

This shouldn't be the case!

She is Her Royal Highness the Princess, while Qin Changye is just a commoner.

When common people find out that the person next to them is Her Royal Highness the Princess, will they behave calmly, just like ordinary people in later generations who find out that the person next to them is the penguin princess?
This is impossible!

It is also based on this,
Li Shimin then judged that Qin Changye might not know Xiao Sizi's identity, and wanted to help Xiao Sizi hide it.

However, Qin Changye... was still so calm!
Abnormal, so abnormal!
Li Shimin's eyes flickered, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "I'm sorry, I wanted to hide this from you, my lord."

"Since you know, I won't hide it. Yes, that person is His Highness Xiao Sizi. I lied just now. I want to apologize to you, my lord."

Li Shimin stood up and bowed deeply to Qin Changye.

This attitude,
Even Sun Simiao, who was concentrating on studying the formula of Isatis root, was shocked.

This….
This, this, this!
I actually saw His Majesty apologizing to others!
Sun Simiao was shocked.

Then he looked at the young man in front of him and felt that he was not simple.

"It's okay. She is the princess after all. Leaving the palace rashly could lead to disaster. I understand the importance of hiding one's identity."

Qin Changye spread his hands and didn't care much.

Li Shimin sat back in his seat and said with a smile, "Thank you for your understanding, sir. I have a question in my mind, may I ask you?"

Qin Changye nodded: "Ask."

Li Shimin took a deep breath and narrowed his eyes slightly: "I dare to ask, where are you from?"

The fact that he is not nervous after knowing the princess's identity probably means that she is also from a noble family.

think carefully,

He didn't know much about the young man in front of him because this was the first time he saw him and he hadn't asked the Jinwu Guards to investigate him.

This boy….
Just like the immortal, his entire body was still a mystery to him.

"Me? I heard from that old man that I seem to be a descendant of the Great Qin Guardian Clan."

Qin Changye let out a breath, his eyes filled with sadness.

He looked as if he was missing his parents.

"The Guardian Clan?"

Li Shimin was stunned.

Qin Changye nodded: "Yes, that old man seems to be an old charlatan. He said a lot of weird things, and then said that I am a descendant of the guardian clan."

"Although when I was a kid, my dad said that my ancestors were extraordinary and had a mission, he didn't know what it was specifically. He just said something vaguely about it being related to some immortal being."

"Immortals? I really can't understand it. It's the Tang Dynasty now, how can there be immortals? If there was real immortality, the Qin Zulong would not have died."

Qin Changye complained as he spoke.

And the guardian clan he mentioned also really exists.

Back then, Ying Zheng secretly arranged for the Meng family to protect Qin Changye. This was an open arrangement.

Because of Meng Tian and the Meng family, Ying Zheng expected them to become generals, and in the future the Qin Dynasty would always have general positions reserved for the Meng family.

As long as you are a general,
That means that most of the time will not be spent on Qin Changye.

and so.

secretly,
Ying Zheng also arranged extremely loyal guards and established a clan of guardian gods to protect him militarily, and all the attention of everyone in their life was only on him, Qin Changye.

Qin Changye accidentally learned about this guardian clan when he awakened during the Han Dynasty.

Now I can make up such an identity for myself to explain that I am not an ordinary person, and my temperament and so on can be covered up by my extraordinary background.

as predicted.

When he learned that Qin Changye came from an extraordinary family, the caution in Li Shimin's eyes faded a little.

He thought for a moment and then asked, "I wonder if your father is still alive?"

Qin Changye shook his head: "Gone, dead."

Li Shimin was stunned: "This...I am so presumptuous. Sorry."

Qin Changye still waved his hand nonchalantly.

Li Shimin asked again: "May I ask if the old man said anything else?"

From the conversation with the young man, Li Shimin felt more and more that the immortal was not simple.

He seemed to possess some special ability, allowing him to find the descendants of the guardian clan in the vast sea of ​​people.

Combined with the fear of the Cao family, the flattery of the Meng family, and the panic of Li Junxian...
And this so-called guardian "god".

If you think about it carefully,

The immortal became more and more mysterious in Li Shimin's mind, almost like a half-god.

"No, he said he would come to see me occasionally."

Qin Changye sighed: "Ah...what kind of guardian clan is this? If I really had such a prestigious identity, how could I have ended up like this today?"

"I really want to believe that old man. After all, he brought His Highness Xiao Sizi with him, and even brought a recipe for a medicinal soup that could cure His Highness Changle. He is very powerful, but the so-called guardian deity he mentioned... that is also very vague."

Li Shimin smiled awkwardly: "Indeed."

Then, he stood up and said, "Okay, Mr. Qin, what you want is to find a beautiful wife. I will report this request to His Majesty and let His Majesty make the decision."

"As for that old man, if he comes back again, could you please inform the court? Your Majesty...would like to thank him in person."

Qin Changye nodded: "No problem."

then,

After some more greetings, Qin Changye sent Li Shimin and Sun Simiao away.

He watched the two of them leave with his eyes flickering.

"General Tiance of the Tang Dynasty, a horse-riding god of war who has spent his entire life on the battlefield. I didn't expect... that he would be so easy to talk to."

Qin Changye smiled silently.

He remembered clearly that Li Shimin had apologized to him just now.

He had awakened during the Jin Dynasty. At that time, the emperor was so harsh that the people felt it was a sin to even look at him, let alone apologize.

The common people are such inferior people that they are not worthy of being looked at by an emperor. It is a great honor for the common people to just look at them.

compare to,

Li Shimin was much better.

"No wonder it was able to create the prosperous Zhenguan era of the Tang Dynasty."

"Even in the future, there will be people willing to fight for you to be the greatest emperor of all time."

Qin Changye smiled lightly, then turned around and went back to the inn.

Meeting Li Shimin... the most powerful man in the world, did not cause Qin Changye much excitement, because he had lived for thousands of years and had seen too many things and too many storms.

If Li Shimin is called a legend by many people, then Qin Changye is the legend itself.

Just by revealing the words "eternal life for a thousand years", everyone would think he is a legend.

Unlike Li Shimin, Ying Zheng and others, even if they are outstanding, there will be controversy and people will not accept it.

he,
Qin Changye is a well-deserved legend.

Even... a legend.

….….….….….….
the other side.

On the way back to the palace, Li Shimin kept reviewing his recent encounter with Qin Changye.

"Dr. Sun, do you really believe that the Guardian Clan exists?"

Asking Sun Simiao this question is a bit redundant.

But the only person around now was Sun Simiao, and apart from asking him, there was no one else to ask.

Sun Simiao thought for a moment and said seriously, "Your Majesty, it is better to believe it than not to believe it."

"Now that the immortals have appeared, even if other existences are incredible, can the immortals still be illusory?"

"Besides, Zulong arranged for the Meng family to be the family guarding the mausoleum of that old senior. If there are other arrangements, it is also possible."

"If Your Majesty is suspicious, you can ask the descendants of the Meng family. Maybe they know something."

Li Shimin nodded: "Indeed, I will ask them then."

"But... for now, I actually believe that the Guardian Clan exists, because the boy's performance from beginning to end is not much different from what he described."

“And this also proves that the old senior is extraordinary. He was able to find the descendants of the Guardian Clan from among the vast sea of ​​people. This ability is truly terrifying.”

Fear flickered in Li Shimin's eyes. Ever since he destroyed the great enemy Turkic in the fourth year of Zhenguan, Li Shimin had not been afraid of anything or anyone.

But today,
He regained the emotion he had lost, the emotion called fear.

"Yes, Your Majesty, this old senior, with his different medical skills, was able to cure the terminal illness that troubled us so much. How can it be so incredible that he has other methods?"

"Perhaps... this is not the limit of that old senior. Think about it carefully. You said at the time that this old senior had left some footprints in every dynasty."

"Immortality is something that countless people envy. How could those people not have increased desires when they learned that the old senior was immortal? But the old senior is still alive and well, which means that the old senior must have many tricks...to the point that we can't even imagine, so he never worries about his identity being revealed."

"Even more, he can travel around the world as an immortal."

Sun Simiao analyzed step by step.

After his analysis, Li Shimin became more and more wary of the immortal.

At the same time, he was also thankful that this was an immortal with very powerful abilities.

In fact, before coming here,

He once thought that if the immortal was unable to protect himself, he would send someone to protect that immortal. After all, that immortal had saved Changle, and he owed that immortal for saving his life.

But now it seems,
Not to mention protecting them, I'm afraid that if the Jinwu Guards go there, that person will have to devote his attention to protecting the Jinwu Guards.

The two continued to rush towards the palace.

Everyone has different thoughts.

Sun Simiao was thinking about the formula of Isatis root. He went to the palace this time because the things there were more complete, making it easier for him to carry out research.

And Li Shimin,

He was thinking about the guardian clan, and planned to wait for the descendants of the Meng family to come out and then ask them about their background.

He thought he had to ask clearly.

Because Li Shimin saw that little Sizi liked the outside world very much and also liked that young man very much, and might come out to find that young man from time to time in the future.

How can we feel at ease if the identity of that young boy is a mystery?

So he wanted to find out.

When it comes to his family, Li Shimin always wants to have everything under his control, including his family's health, his family's future, and the people his family comes into contact with.

He is a person with a strong desire for control.

That's why Li Chengqian was so afraid of Li Shimin, because Li Shimin controlled everything he did, including reading, poetry, etc. Li Shimin required him to do his best, so that he could be worthy of being the future emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Shimin was too controlling and didn't give much fatherly love but instead put a lot of pressure on Li Chengqian, so that Li Chengqian was very afraid of him. Was it because when he saw Li Shimin getting close to Li Tai in the later period, he feared that he was being kicked out?

He did not understand Li Shimin, nor did he feel much fatherly love from Li Shimin. He only knew that Li Shimin was very strict. His lame leg and his closeness to Li Tai led him to think that he had no chance of ascending the throne, so he planned a rebellion.

Li Shimin….
Li Shimin, ah Li Shimin, he is a benevolent monarch to his subjects.

But to Li Chengqian, he is... a strict father.
.
….….…….….….
Fanyang Lu family, the main residence of the Lu family.

After finishing reading the second chapter of Changsheng's Journey last night, Patriarch Lu began looking for information about Tianshu.

He currently doesn't know much information about the Immortals, and he has no channels to learn about them.

But the mysterious man,
It has a lot to do with the immortal Qin Changye. He wants to get to know the mysterious man first, and then slowly understand the thousand-year-old existence.

After searching ancient books all night, the head of the Lu family found some information about Tianshu.

Tianshu...is one of the Big Dipper in the sky.

The remaining six stars,

respectively,
Tianji, Tianquan, Tianxuan, Kaiyang, Yaoguang, and Yuheng.

Together with Tianshu, they form the Big Dipper.

These seven stars,
It also corresponds to what Tianshu said last night: "There are many stars in the sky, and there are seven of them."

"Are there six other people like him?"

Patriarch Lu narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Were they born in modern times, or were they immortals together with the immortal?"

"If they are also immortals, then are these immortal bodies given by Qin Changye, or... are they and Qin Changye from the same era?"

"If they were from the same generation, why would they start a quarrel?"

Patriarch Lu had many confusions in his mind and kept muttering to himself.

I also kept recording my confusion on paper.

This was also his habit. He would write down the puzzles he couldn't figure out on paper and take a look at them from time to time. Perhaps one day, some information received by the Lu family would become the key to solving these puzzles.

"Master of the house, master of the house!"

At this time, Liu Xianyong's voice was heard outside the door.

The eyes of the head of the Lu family flickered, and he immediately put down the paper and pen.

Now, in the entire Lu family, the person he most wants to see is Liu Xianyong, because every time he comes, he can bring information about the immortals.

This is what he wants to hear most.

Not long after.

Liu Xianyong walked in and said quickly: "Master, something big has happened."

Patriarch Lu's eyes slightly raised, his heart was excited but he concealed it well on the surface: "Oh? Tell me about it."

Liu Xianyong took a deep breath and said, "Master, it was in the ancient tomb. They dug out a lost item. It's the Nine Cauldrons!"

"Nine Cauldrons?" Patriarch Lu took a deep breath, his pupils suddenly shrank. "Is this the Nine Cauldrons that I know of? Are they from the Xia Dynasty?"

Liu Xianyong smiled and said, "That's right, Master. It's the Nine Cauldrons! This is incredible. I didn't expect that a long-lost treasure would appear in an ancient tomb, and we have only explored a small part of it."

"There must be more treasures inside!"

The Nine Cauldrons are priceless treasures, but they mean nothing to the Lu family.

Because they have reached the pinnacle of power and wealth, the Nine Cauldrons are of little help to the Lu family. On the contrary, that thing is of great help to the imperial family. It is a symbolic help.

The reason why he was so happy was that the more extraordinary things he dug out from the ancient tomb, the more it proved the existence of the Immortal and how extraordinary he was in the past.

"By the way, Patriarch, His Highness Xiao Sizi has returned today, and he came back from outside the palace."

Liu Xianyong said again.

"what!"

Hearing this, Patriarch Lu stood up instantly: "Back from outside the palace? What happened? Why did she run outside the palace?"

The disappearance of Xiao Sizi in the past two days has caused a lot of uproar. Even if he doesn't pay attention to Xiao Sizi, Xiao Sizi is related to the immortals, so the head of the Lu family also knows something about it.

Wasn't Xiao Sizi inside the palace when she disappeared? How could she have escaped from the palace?

Patriarch Lu was full of questions.

Liu Xianyong exhaled and sighed, "Master, yes~, how did she get out of the palace? I don't know yet."

"But we can be sure that it is definitely related to that immortal! There is a secret passage in the ancient tomb that allows that immortal to avoid the palace and go directly outside the palace!"

"In the past two days, Li Jia Erlang has deployed several thousand people to the ancient tomb. The inside has been basically searched, but no one has found such a passage out of the imperial city. Except for the immortal, no one knows it."

"Her Highness Xiao Sizi... must have come into contact with the immortals! Otherwise, with her young age and unfamiliarity with the ancient tomb, it would be impossible for her to walk out of the palace."

Patriarch Lu took a deep breath and said, "Is there any way to get some information out of Little Sizi?"

Liu Xianyong shook his head: "It's unlikely. We can't possibly get in touch with that person. Li Jia Erlang is too protective of her, almost to the point of being crazy."

"If our Lu family sends someone to contact Little Sizi, or even kidnap her, Li's Erlang... will go crazy."

The head of the Lu family let out a breath, and after thinking for a moment, he felt that it was unrealistic to trick Xiao Sizi.

"Continue to investigate, starting with Xiao Sizi and her surroundings."

Liu Xianyong nodded: "Master, I understand. By the way... today, Li's second son left the imperial city."

"Leaving the Imperial City?" Patriarch Lu raised his eyebrows slightly. "He hasn't left the Imperial City for a long time. Why would he leave now? Could it be that he got the news from Little Sizi and went outside the Imperial City to look for the footprints of the immortals?"

Liu Xianyong agreed: "It is likely to be so."

"Then... do you know where Li Jia Erlang went?"

"Master, you think too highly of me. Although Li Jia's Erlang is on a secret visit, he is the emperor of Ma Di after all, and he is very defensive around him. Although he is going alone, there are at least a hundred Jinwu guards following closely around him. How dare our people get close?"

Patriarch Lu rubbed his head with a headache: "That's true. Anyway... find a way to find out where Erlang of the Li family went."

"He left the palace at this critical moment, most likely because of that immortal."

Liu Xianyong nodded: "Master, I understand."

He retreated slowly.

After he left,

The head of the Lu family put his hands behind his back and looked up at the sky, his eyes narrowed slightly: "The resources of the Lu family are still not enough."

He used to be very proud of his Lu family's resources. The Fanyang Lu family, one of the Five Surnames and Seven Aristocrats, was one of the top families in the Tang Dynasty, which was enough to make him proud.

But today, I couldn't get any information from Xiao Sizi, and I didn't know where Li Shimin went. All of this proved... the Lu family's lack of intelligence capabilities.

"It seems like it's time to... find some external help."

Patriarch Lu narrowed his eyes slightly and had an idea in mind.
.
….….….….….
at the same time.

Imperial City.

Changle Palace.

The huge Changle Palace was extremely quiet at this moment, because there were only two people there, and these two people were in a brief silence.

"Xiao Sizi, what did you just say? Is Qin Changye actually that young man?"

Princess Changle was stunned at this moment.

She couldn't help but look at the little sister who was covering her mouth with her hands, staring with her eyes wide open, and wearing a little red hat.
