trustee of the gods

It was the same with Lin Wan'er, both of them were stretching on purpose, and they didn't know what the point was.

Li Yi and Fan Xian walked among the pavilions and waterside pavilions. Qingguo is located in the south and it is rainy. Sometimes there will be three or four drizzles a day, and the ground is still relatively humid.

However, Prince Jing's mansion is much better. Perhaps after a while, the lotus here may be about to bloom.

The arrival of spring in Qingguo is much earlier than that in Beiqi. Although it is early spring and the lotus has not yet bloomed, many lotus leaves have grown.

Some lotus flowers have also begun to gather buds secretly, waiting for the summer to come, when they bloom.

Li Yi occasionally looked at the scenery. This kind of courtyard in the Jiangnan water town now seems to be quite unique and interesting.

Suddenly someone shot at Li Yi, who was holding a sharp sword and moved extremely fast.

Li Yi took a closer look and found that this person should be Xie Bi'an, the guard next to the second prince, and he should be regarded as a master of the ninth rank.

In addition to being divided into first-rank to ninth-rank masters in this world, there are also these three levels in the ninth-rank realm.

Ninth-rank ninth-rank and upper-ninth-rank pinnacle, the gap between these three realms is very large, of course, it is not as big as the gap with the great master.

It is not a problem to hit ten ninth ranks on a ninth rank, and it is not a problem to hit ten ninth ranks on a ninth rank peak.

A master at the pinnacle of the ninth rank is already the limit of the world, if it wasn't for Ye Qingmei's appearance, a master at the pinnacle of the ninth rank would be the ultimate martial arts in the world.

A master of this strength can defeat hundreds of elite troops alone.

Even if there are hundreds of ninth-rank masters, even if a person of this strength can't beat them, he can kill some of them and retreat safely.

If Ye Qingmei hadn't appeared back then, in the palace now, the eunuch Hong Sixiang next to the Empress Dowager would be a martial artist in the world.

It's a pity that with the appearance of Ye Qingmei, there are four more great masters in the world, and each great master is an existence that can fight against a country by one person.

Chapter 127 The Second Prince

Xie Bi'an only felt a sharp killing intent lock on to himself, and then before he could react, his neck felt cold, and when he reached out to touch it, bright red blood flowed down his fingers to the palm of his hand.

Xie Bi'an was shocked, his swordsmanship was at least among the top three in the capital, if not the first.

Where did this person in front of him come from?I didn't even have the slightest strength to fight back in front of him.

Xie Bi'an could sense that the opponent's killing intent had already locked on him the moment he made a move, and it was even possible that he had already spotted him before, but he didn't make a move.

He just made a move, and the zhenqi attached to the other party's fingers swept across his neck in an instant, the speed was so fast that Xie Bi'an didn't even see what the other party did.

If the other party wanted his life just now, he is already dead now.

Li Yi didn't feel anything about this result. In his opinion, Xie Bi'an's swordsmanship was full of flaws. Apart from being a little faster than others, there was no advantage.

His own swordsmanship benefited from Dugu Qiubai's Dugu Nine Swords. After mastering Dugu Nine Swords, Li Yi's attainments in swordsmanship can be said to be as good as Dugu Qiubai.

Even if Dugu Qiubai is now resurrected on the spot, Li Yi and him will fight him [-]-[-] simply by relying on swordsmanship, that would be a bit too confident.

Li Yi felt that his swordsmanship should be comparable to Dugu Qiubai.

After all, Dugu Nine Swords was created by him, and Li Yi can only achieve perfect mastery at best, but he may not be able to use Dugu Qiubai with ease for many of the above moves.

Of course, beating Xie Bi'an is as easy as bullying a child. Even if Sigu Jian, one of the four great masters, is here, Li Yi dares to meet him with his Dugu Nine Swords.

"In my opinion, your swordsmanship has the meaning of assassination. An assassin can't succeed in one blow, and he will go thousands of miles away. If you don't have the determination to kill in the next attack, don't make another attack. If you make too many shots, it will affect your sword state. "

Li Yi stood on the corridor connecting the pavilions with his hands behind his back, his expression calm and unwavering, and his tone seemed to be pointing to a junior of his own.

What he said was indeed correct, Li Yi could tell in just a few seconds that Xie Bi'an's swordsmanship should be biased towards assassination.

What is important is that the first shot must be a one-hit kill. Xie Bi'an just made a move, although he had the intention to kill but did not have the intention to kill.

He dared to attack but didn't dare to kill himself and Fan Xian directly. If he did this often, it would definitely not benefit his swordsmanship practice after a long time.

Xie Bi'an was thoughtful, although he didn't really understand what Li Yi meant, but his intuition as a swordsman made him feel that it was very important.

No longer caring about the injury on his neck, one hand in front and the other behind, he bent down and gave Li Yi a stern salute, "I would like to be taught."

The second prince Li Chengze put down the scroll in his hand, and now he knew why Li Yi was able to compose half a murderous poem.

Presumably, his attainment in swordsmanship has reached a very high level, and his guard Xie Bi'an's swordsmanship attainment in Kyoto can be said to be first-class, but in the end he lost to the opponent so easily.

Considering that the other party's swordsmanship attainments are probably only under that of the great master Si Gu Jian, and his literary talents are quite good, Li Chengze naturally wanted to win him over.

If Li Yi knew his thoughts, he could only smile helplessly, what can I say?I can say that those few poems just now were completely recited by me casually.

When memorizing, I have to remind myself not to read the author's name and the age of the characters.

Li Yi really didn't expect that Li Chengze could think of this aspect.

"Your Excellency in Wenzhi and martial arts is top-notch. How do I know when such a hero will appear in Kyoto?" Li Chengze put down his book, without even wearing shoes, and walked towards Li Yi with his bare feet.

I don't know if he did it on purpose, or if he doesn't pay much attention to such small things.

Li Yiyong took a step back calmly, and turned sideways. He really didn't want to have too much interaction with the second prince Li Chengze.

If you get along well with the other party, you may feel a little embarrassed when you make a move, so it's better not to know each other if you can.

Li Chengze was not angry when he saw that he was secretly rejected.

He can probably also understand that this kind of humble scholar wants to sell for a price after all.

Maybe he still wants to see what the crown prince can offer, so Li Chengze will try it out, in case he succeeds.

"This must be Fan Xian." Li Chengze looked at Fan Xian with a slight smile, and he couldn't find anything wrong with his demeanor or details.

"You know me?" Fan Xian looked at the young man in front of him with a hairstyle similar to that of an alpaca, feeling puzzled.I have been in Kyoto for such a short time, and I don't remember seeing my other party, how can the other party know me so well.

"The prince regards you as an enemy, so I naturally want to know your name."

While talking, Li Chengze picked out his unique bangs, walked to the table and sat down slowly.

"You are?" Fan Xian searched his mind just now, he really didn't know this person.

Li Chengze squinted at Fan Xian, as if he didn't care about the scenery on one side, "Three chances."

Li Yi frowned when he heard this, and shook his head helplessly. Tell me, this group of people is fine, why do they all like to fight?

"He is the second prince, and he came here today mainly to win you over, as long as you agree to the marriage, you can take over the inner treasury.

The internal treasury can be said to be a very large amount of money. With this money, it will be much easier for anyone who wants to compete for the throne. "

Li Yi didn't give the two of them a chance to fight, and directly stated the real purpose of Li Chengze's visit.

Then he added, "Your father is Sinanbo Fan Jian, and the father of Lin Waner, who is married to you, is the current Prime Minister.

Si Nan Bo is an old friend of His Majesty, Prime Minister Lin Ruo Pu is the head of all officials.If the crown prince wins you over to the throne, it is probably a certainty, and if the second prince wins you over to the throne, there is a high chance of success. "

Li Yi picked up a glass of wine, and said these words indifferently while talking.

Li Chengze's face changed drastically. He really didn't expect that the other party was so aware of Fan Xian and the current situation in Kyoto.

In just a few words, he completely dissected the relationship between himself and Prince Fan Xian and the others, and each sentence hit the point exactly.

If Li Chengze was just trying to win Li Yi casually, it would be best if he succeeded, and if he didn't succeed, there was nothing worth caring about.

Now Li Chengze really wants to win him over. This kind of talent is best for himself to use, even if he can't own it, he can't put it in the prince's place anyway.

Hearing the words, Fan Xian began to think quickly in his mind, although he had also considered a little bit about this aspect.

But he didn't think about it so carefully at all. Who exactly is Li Yi knows these things very clearly.

"Your Highness, am I right?" Li Yi turned around and asked Li Chengze.

Chapter 128

"Fan Xian, since this is the case, I'm going straight to the point. I want to win you over and make you work for me." Li Chengze leaned back slightly, his eyes piercing. He just heard that if I take refuge in the crown prince and help him ascend the throne, it must be It's very safe, why should I choose to help His Highness? "Fan Xian is not in a hurry at this time, anyway, Li Yi should not harm himself.

"There has been a rift between you and the prince, so you still choose to help him?" A smirk flashed across the corner of Li Chengze's mouth.

"Although I have an enmity with the prince, it has not reached the point of being irresolvable. If I take refuge in the prince, there will definitely be no problems, right?"

After Fan Xian finished speaking, a killing intent flashed in Li Chengze's heart, and even he had to admit that what Fan Xian said was indeed very reasonable.

The success rate of taking refuge in the prince is much higher than that of oneself, whether it is righteousness or fame, or helping the prince ascend the throne.

Even if someone like Fan Xian couldn't be used by him, he definitely couldn't let him be on the prince's side.

"However, it may not be easy for me to seek refuge with the prince."

Fan Xian turned his back to Li Chengze and sighed.

"why?"

"Because I have met His Highness here today, the Prince will definitely feel that I have already taken refuge with His Highness. Even if I go to seek refuge there now, it will not be easy." Fan Xian looked up to the sky and sighed helplessly.

Ever since I entered the capital, things have been rushing towards me one after another, and I can't hide or dodge.

Suddenly, out of the corner of his eyes, he seemed to see an extremely familiar white figure, whose figure was very similar to the chicken-legged girl he had seen that day.

Fan Xian stood up immediately, turned around and said, "Your Highness, Brother Li, Fan has something to say and is leaving first."

After finishing speaking, he ignored him, and went straight to chase in the direction where he saw the chicken-legged girl.

Li Chengze didn't care about Fan Xian, but focused all his eyes on Li Yi, sizing him up with curiosity.

At the same time, Li Yi was also looking at Li Chengze. To be honest, Li Chengze was really an unfortunate person.

Like his mother, he is fond of collecting books and reading, but it is a pity that he was born in the emperor's family.

He didn't want to fight, but Emperor Qing forced him to fight step by step.

Emperor Qing gave him almost the same rights as the prince, but did not give him the title of prince, which was forcing the prince to attack him.

Li Chengze can only fight, if he doesn't fight, he will die. The crown prince will never believe that Li Chengze will not fight for the throne with him if he is in power.

Emperor Qing's original plan was to use Li Chengze as a whetstone for the prince to sharpen his knife, but he didn't expect that because of Fan Xian's reason, the knife was useless and the stone was broken.

Li Yi had to sigh in his heart that the most ruthless emperor's family was indeed right.

There is no Emperor Qing and Li Chengze in this world, only Emperor Qing and the second prince.

Also there is no Li Chengze and Li Chengqian, only the second prince and prince.

There is very little family affection between ordinary people in the royal family. They are just monarchs and ministers but not father and son. This has been determined since their birth.

lucky?She is definitely lucky enough to be born with a golden spoon in her mouth, and can easily have things that most people can't get even if they work hard for a lifetime.

It's a pity that they didn't have some things from the beginning, such as family affection.

Li Yi smiled slightly at Li Chengze and said, "Your Highness wants to win me over, because I have only been in the capital for a few days, and without any information, I have already told the truth of the matter based on judgment alone. ?"

Although the tone was asking, but he said it very decisively, as if he was quite sure that what he said was absolutely true.

Li Chengze was noncommittal, and he wanted to hear from Li Yi to help him resolve some of the situation. He had to admit that he hadn't even considered many things Li Yi said.

"The eldest princess wants to kill Fan Xian, because as long as Fan Xian dies, he can continue to take charge of the internal treasury, but the crown prince doesn't want to kill Fan Xian, because Lin Wan'er, who married Fan Xian, is the daughter of Prime Minister Lin Ruofu. The prime minister has always been interested in the crown prince. " Li Yi didn't go on, he had exposed enough information.

"Listening to what you have to say is better than reading ten years of books." Li Chengze suddenly slapped the table, and now he wants to make Li Yi his own more and more.

This kind of person can actually think about many of the next moves in advance. It is said that a real Go master can see the direction of the next fifty moves in advance.

Li Chengze understands that real calculations are tens of millions of times more complicated than a chess game, not to mention seeing fifty moves, in real calculations, even being able to beat the opponent by one or two moves is a huge advantage.

What's more, this is only in the absence of any information, Li Chengze thought that if he could send all the information he collected to Li Yi.

With this information, how far can the other party plan?

Li Chengze became more and more curious, but Li Yi stopped in the middle of his speech, which made him curious like claws scratching his heart.

"Brother Li, be my servant! When the time comes when I ascend to the throne, you will be the prime minister, the head of all officials, with power in the government and the public, with one person under ten thousand."

Li Chengze was very excited about what he said, and he didn't pay attention to what he said. If people with ulterior motives heard it, they might make a big fuss.

Your Majesty is not dead yet, you are about to promise the position of prime minister to others, do you, Li Chengze, have ulterior motives?

Li Chengze's gaze is rare and sincere. He is always false when getting along with others. After a long time, sometimes even he himself can't tell the truth from what he says.

But this time Li Chengze was quite clear that what he said was absolutely the truth, Li Yi was such a smart person, it would be very difficult for him to deceive him.

Li Yi smiled, and to be honest, he just blew it casually just now, just like the poems he read before, he just recited whatever he thought of.

I don't know what Li Chengze was thinking, but he was so sincere.

"Your Highness does not have the qualifications yet." Li Yi looked calm, and did not show any emotion at all to any of the promises made by Li Chengze.

"Then who are you going to assist? The prince?"

Li Chengze looked anxious. If Li Yi really threw himself into the arms of the prince, there would be absolutely no one here who could outsmart him.

Even if Fan Xian joined him, Li Chengze couldn't guarantee that he would be able to overthrow the prince and ascend to the throne.
