In order to show that they had an extraordinary origin and were a monarch appointed by God, the Tang royal family claimed to be a descendant of Laozi and respected him as their holy ancestor.

The reason why Li Chengming attributed the ninjutsu he just performed to borrowing magic power from Taishang Laojun is because there is no such thing as ninjutsu in this world. On the contrary, there are quite a lot of various magical spells. He said this, and he can It made him even more mysterious and more respected by the guards.

Moreover, if this matter spreads, his reputation will be even greater.

"Your Highness Shenwu" After hearing Li Chengming's admission, all the remaining East Palace guards' faces showed expressions of excitement, excitement, awe, admiration, etc., and then they all fell down to Li Chengming and shouted loudly.

Seeing these two dozen East Palace guards prostrating themselves on the ground with expressions of awe and admiration, Li Chengming felt a little proud.

"Get up quickly." Li Chengming was just about to get these people up, but his expression suddenly changed and he said, "No, the time for me to borrow mana from the Holy Ancestor is almost up. Luo Ning, come here quickly, carry me on your back, let's leave here quickly. .”

Luo Ning and others were slightly startled when they heard Li Chengming's words. Then they saw that Li Chengming, who was standing there with a majestic aura, suddenly lost his breath and seemed to fall down. Luo Ning quickly ran over and pulled Li Chengming away. Helped him up.

"Quick, let's find a place to hide before the pursuers arrive." Li Chengming looked at Luo Ning and said.

"Yes, Your Highness." Although Luo Ning and others did not understand why Li Chengming acted like this, they immediately accepted the order. Luo Ning carried Li Chengming on his back again, and then the group quickly left the area.

In Chang'an City, the overall situation has been decided at this time. The palace guards have been replaced by Li Shimin's Shence Army, guarded by Hou Junji, Gong Chigong and other troops. Even Li Yuan cannot leave the palace gate.

At this time, although Hou Junji looked a little tired, his face was red and full of determination.

In this "Xuanwu Gate Rebellion", it can be said that Hou Junji worked hard and made great achievements. He persuaded the King of Qin Li Shimin to react in the palace coup, and then led the army to kill him. He even took the lead when attacking Xuanwu Gate and defeated them. The crown prince and King Qi's army guards will definitely receive heavy rewards for their contributions when this important event is settled.

In addition, there is also his son Hou Guangliang. Although Hou Guangliang did not have many outstanding achievements in this palace change, he also participated in this palace change after all.

Moreover, His Highness the King of Qin also sent Hou Guangliang to capture Li Chengming this time. Li Chengming is the only heir of Li Jiancheng who has escaped. The fact that Hou Guangliang was sent out by His Highness the King of Qin to capture Li Chengming proves that he has fallen into the eyes of Li Shimin. As long as Li Chengming can be captured, , then this is also a great achievement.

As for whether Hou Guangliang could catch Li Chengming, Hou Junji was not worried at all, because Li Shimin had already sent people to rob and kill Li Chengming and the Crown Princess Zheng. Someone came back to report that the Crown Princess Zheng had been killed, but Li Chengming was He was protected by dozens of people and escaped.

It is precisely because of this that, in order to prevent any accidents, Li Shimin sent Hou Guangliang and two hundred elite troops to reinforce the men who chased and killed Li Chengming after most of Chang'an was calmed down, in order to eliminate the root cause.

Hundreds of elite soldiers faced off against dozens of East Palace guards. In Hou Junji's opinion, this incident was simply a credit given to Hou Guangliang and would never be lost.

"Report to the General" Just when Hou Junji was thinking about what titles his father and son would be rewarded after Li Shimin ascended the throne, suddenly an extremely panicked voice came from a distance, and then he saw a big man in cloth armor. He ran towards Hou Junji with a worried look on his face.

Hou Junji was slightly startled when he saw the person coming, and immediately recognized that the person was one of the generals he assigned to Hou Guangliang.

Seeing this man appear and in a state of embarrassment, Hou Junji couldn't help but feel his heart skip a beat. An ominous omen arose in his heart. Then he saw the general running towards him anxiously and said in great panic, "Report to the General, something bad has happened. Young Master, something happened to the Young Master."

"What, what happened to Guang Liang? Tell me clearly." After hearing the general's words, Hou Junji became more uneasy. He walked up to the general and shouted with a gloomy face.

"General, General, Young Master, Young Master died while chasing the traitor," the general said with a pale face.

Hou Junji felt like a bolt from the blue. There was a roar in his head. His originally steady figure staggered, took several steps back, and then fell to the ground.

The night was dark, and a group of dozens of people were marching hard through the trees in the Nanshan Mountains outside Chang'an.

Nanshan, this was the name given in the Classic of Mountains and Seas and the Book of Songs in the pre-Qin era. It was also called Zhongnan Mountain, but in later generations, it was called the Qinling Mountains.

The vastness here is boundless. Even the Qinling Mountains in the narrow sense stretch 4-500 kilometers from east to west and 100150 to kilometers wide from north to south. Entering this vast mountain range is like a drop of water in the sea, unless a few people are dispatched. It took tens of thousands of troops several days to search.

During the march, these people were very careful to sweep away the traces behind them. Although the speed of the march would be slower, it would not be easy for people to easily touch them from behind and chase them.

After walking in the dark night for nearly an hour or two, the group finally found a fairly open cave at the foot of a mountain peak with several wild boars nesting in it. They killed the wild boars before they could find the cave. Rested.

This cave is not small. After all, it can accommodate three or four wild boars. It is four to five meters wide, two to three meters high, and nearly twenty meters deep. Not to mention that they only have about twenty people, and there is one more. It can accommodate twice as much.

After all, it is a wild boar nest, and they are not as hygienic as humans. The guards of the East Palace cleaned the cave a little first, and then let Li Chengming in after the air in the cave was better.

After carefully covering the entrance of the cave, a bonfire was finally lit in the cave, illuminating the entire cave.

"Your Highness, we will take a rest here tonight. The cave is simple. Please forgive me, Your Highness." Luo Ning carried Li Chengming to the deepest part of the cave and then placed him in a pile of withered grass that the guards had collected with great difficulty. superior.

Li Chengming is not the kind of person who is ungrateful. He still knows what these guards have done for him. He shook his head slightly and said, "It doesn't have to be like this. I am not an ungrateful person. You and the soldiers are also tired. Let’s go and rest first.”

Hearing Li Chengming's words, Luo Ning couldn't help but be moved, clasping his fists and saying, "Thank you for your understanding, Your Highness, but these are what humble men should do."

"Okay, no need to say more, you go and have a rest first. I also need to take a rest." Li Chengming said without saying much, waving his hand.

"Yes, Your Highness, I will take my leave first."

It is said that he is resigning, but in fact, the cave is not big. It is only because Li Chengming has the highest status now, and he has performed ninjutsu like fairy magic before, making all the guards in awe of him, which makes them conscious. Let Li Chengming rest at the end of the cave.

After Luo Ning retreated, Li Chengming stepped awkwardly in the withered grass, then chose a place to sit down, and then silently turned on the system, and then the holographic screen from before appeared in front of him.
