The next day, when Li Jian woke up, Qi Xiu was no longer in the hall.

The aftermath of the hangover was a headache. Li Jian took a nap for a while, but it was fine.After washing, Li Jian opened the door and went out to the outside of the hall, summoning Gu Jian, intending to visit the Lin family.After all, Lin Zhao has an earth ring in his hand, which can easily lead to disaster.

But Li Jian was also very curious, although according to what Lin Zhao said, it was only four years since his mother gave him the earth ring.But with his silly, sweet, and loose-mouthed character, it's amazing that nothing happened in the past four years.

What's more, on the other hand, even if Xihua Demon Venerable was like Fuyang, he could only hang Meng Wanqing with water jade; as for Yuankong, he just used the golden lock to steal time.They can only make these artifacts play a little role, and they have only grasped the fur.But Lin Zhao used the earth ring to make such a fortune, obviously it should be because he is quite skilled in the operation of the earth ring.Naturally, he can't exert the true power of the earth ring, but he is obviously stronger than Yuankong and Fuyang.

——But Lin Zhao is just a mere mortal, so what's going on?

Thinking of this, Li Jian still planned to ask Lin Zhao for clarification and protect his safety by the way.

Li Jian didn't know that as soon as he walked to the courtyard, a hidden guard stepped forward to stop him. "Xianzun, His Majesty said that he has something to tell you, and asked you to wait here for him. Don't...don't leave the imperial palace."

"What's the matter with him, just ask him to tell me." Li Jian said, crossing the hidden guards to leave.

The dark guard hurried forward. "Xianzun, but...but this is the order I received, so don't embarrass us."

Li Jian came from modern times and was really not used to this kind of feudal power.But he knows that he can't forcefully bring over the modern methods. To put it bluntly, that set doesn't apply to this era, which needs centralization; , If the rules are messed up, it will affect the management order of the entire palace, and it will also damage Qi Xiu's majesty.

Therefore, Li Jian only frowned and asked, "Did he say anything?"

"This subordinate doesn't know." The dark guard said.

"Last night, he asked you to protect Lin Zhao, what happened there?" Li Jian asked.

"The matter involved Xihua, so he was brought into the palace." Anwei said, "Immortal Venerable wants to see him? He is in the side hall of Ganquan Palace."

"I see. Thank you very much." Li Jian said so, and went to Ganquan Palace.

A moment later, in Ganquan Palace.

Mu Ye was injured earlier and stayed here for a while.Later, when his injuries improved, he was sent back to the sky prison.

At this moment in the side hall, Lin Zhao was drinking tea and eating refreshments, feeling very comfortable. The cleanliness he had shown before seemed to disappear in an instant.

Seeing Li Jian, Lin Zhao jumped up. "You...you are that big devil Li Jian?"

Li Jian raised her eyebrows and said, "Last night, I said that I absolutely believed that I was a good person, but today it changed again. I was talking about people like you."

"But the ban/book said..." Lin Zhao coughed lightly.

"Have some brains. If I were the kind of person in the book, and I stabbed each other with the Holy Emperor, can we still be together now?" Li Jian said. ——Well, although they did stab each other and got together again...

"What you said... seems to make sense." Lin Zhao blinked.

"Okay. Now the Xihua demons are collecting the five great artifacts, including the earth ring." Li Jian said, "The woman who spoke yesterday is Fu Ji, the ancient god of war in the demon world. She has come to you now. So the emperor will take you It is also for your safety to come to the heavily guarded imperial palace. But where is the earth ring? Tell me, and I will go get it back."

"I said, I dare to tell you, because none of you will guess where the Earth Ring is." Lin Zhao yawned, "Don't really think I'm stupid."

"So you mean, even if they guess that you have the Earth Ring, there's nothing they can do about it. Because they can't find it." Li Jian frowned.

"Yes." Lin Zhao said.

"Then are you willing to tell me?" Li Jian couldn't help asking.

"No." Lin Zhao snorted coldly, "If we talk about last night, I'm still willing. After knowing that you are Li Jian, I have reservations."

As a result, the conversation with Lin Zhao had almost no results.Li Jian had no choice but to leave from Ganquan Palace first.

As soon as he walked out of Ganquan Palace, the secret guard from before came over and said to him: "Xianzun, the Xuanjue Pavilion has found out some things about the Lin family. Should the subordinates tell you? Your Majesty said, you might think about it." I know. It also saves you from running around. He said that you haven’t recovered from your injuries recently, so it’s better to rest in Chuliu Palace.”

——Is this Qi Xiu making up his mind not to let himself out of the imperial palace?What is he hiding from himself, or what is he trying to do?

Li Jian thought so in his heart, and only asked the hidden guard on his face: "Let's listen first."

"Lin Zhao became the richest man, not because of himself, but because of the Lin family's steward named Jiang Xueyi." Anwei said, "It was Jiang Xueyi who came forward to negotiate prices before, and Lin Zhao did most of his superficial work."

"No wonder." Li Jian sighed.

"I also heard about Master Huang's banquet that day." An Wei said, "My subordinates believe that Lin Zhao did that on purpose because he was really arrogant and dissatisfied with the Holy Emperor, so he didn't Put the two ministers in his eyes; secondly, he really didn't understand much, he was afraid that the two ministers would ask too many questions, he would reveal his secrets, and make people think that he had no real talent and learning, so he went late and left the meeting in a hurry .”

Tsundere, middle school sophomore, and a bit brain-dead student from a rich family.

Hearing this, Li Jian had already made an accurate evaluation of Lin Zhao.

"That Jiang Xueyi is at the Lin family now?" Li Jian asked.

"Yes. Even if Lin Zhao is here, he is the one who decides many things." The dark guard said.

"Okay. I'm going to find him." Li Jian said.

"But—" the dark guard stepped forward and sighed, "Immortal Venerable, please think about it for us!"

Li Jian rubbed his nose, but raised his eyebrows and looked at the hidden guard, "Did the Holy Emperor tell you that I will not eat hard?"

Dark Guard: "..."

"Your task today is to watch me and not let me go out, right?" Li Jian asked.

"Hmm..." The dark guard nodded.

"What's your name?" Qi Xiu asked.

"Subordinate Zhao Cheng." The dark guard frowned.

"Then, let's work around it. I told the Holy Emperor that you will follow me from now on, be my subordinate, and help me with things."

After Li Jian finished speaking, he summoned Gu Jian to stand up with his sword, "Come on, follow me to the Lin residence. Lin Zhao was brought into the imperial palace, and the Xihua demon was eyeing Tuhuan. As the steward of the Lin residence, that Jiang Xueyi will definitely go to make sure that the earth ring is safe today. It is a good time for us to follow him now, and it is best to take this opportunity to find the earth ring and bring it back to the imperial palace."

Dark Guard: "..."

"Don't be afraid. You are already my subordinate, and he has no right to dispose of you. Let's go." Li Jian flew up, and in a blink of an eye his figure had disappeared into the sky.The dark guard Zhao Cheng sighed and had no choice but to follow.

The dark guard Zhao Cheng used the technique of holding his breath, and Li Jian used the technique of concealing the mind, and they both disappeared, wandering around the forest house swaggeringly.

After being identified by Zhao Cheng, Li Jian found Jiang Xueyi.

Then, Li Jian and Zhao Cheng followed Jiang Xueyi for a long time, but they didn't see him do anything.

Until evening, Jiang Xueyi asked his servant to fetch water from the well in the center of the house.

Things have come to this, and there is nothing unusual.It wasn't until the servant put down the wooden bucket filled with water and left that things finally made some progress.

Jiang Xueyi lit a candle, pulled up his sleeves, drew a few lines on the water, and asked, "Will there be snow this year?"

At this time, the water on the wooden barrel rippled.The ripples looked nothing different to Li Jian, but Jiang Xueyi seemed to be able to understand them.It was as if those ripples were the language of water, and Li Jian and Zhao Cheng could not understand this language, but Jiang Xueyi could.

Jiang Xueyi stared at the water pattern for a long time, until the water surface returned to calm, he nodded, said "Thank you", and then went to the table to record something.

Li Jian listened, thought for a while, and finally walked towards the well.The water in the wooden barrel is drawn from here. Is there any mystery about this well?

Zhao Cheng's scalp was numb. He had been out with Li Jian for a long time, and he didn't know if he had finished talking about the matter with the Holy Emperor.If the conversation is over and he finds that Li Jian has run out, he really doesn't know how to deal with it.

Zhao Cheng looked at Li Jian: "Xianzun, don't you still want to go down the well?"

"Yeah. You stay here. I'll go down and have a look." Li Jian jumped down after saying this.

Zhao Cheng raised his forehead: "..."

Jiuhua Tianzun passed on to Li Jian a technique called "Fish Transformation". Using this technique, one can breathe freely underwater, just like a fish.

Li Jian jumped into the well, then used the technique of "turning fish" into the bottom of the well, and let the lonely sword light up to illuminate the way forward.He looked for the exit in the water.Although the waterway twists and turns, there is only one road, and there is no fork in the road.Li Jian kept swimming along the waterway, and finally found that his field of vision had become wider.

Li Jian jumped out of the water and found that he had come to an underground river.There is already a path by the river, which is very narrow and not high.After Li Jian landed, he could barely walk forward with his body bent.

However, the further you go, the wider the path becomes, and Li Jian can gradually straighten up, no longer needing to bend over all the time.

At the end of the trail is a cave.Inside the cave is a pool with a waterfall above the pool. It seems that this is the source of the well.I just don't know where the water of the waterfall comes from.

Later, Li Jian discovered a very strange thing.Logically speaking, the rivers and lakes on the road flow to a certain place, and there are caves on the ground, and the water can flow down from the mouth of the cave, forming a waterfall. The water flowing from the waterfall gathers and flows underground, forming an underground river, and finally forming well water. .This is in line with common sense.

But now when Li Jian looked up, he didn't see any light at all, that is, there was no hole here, so where did the water in the waterfall come from?

Li Jian frowned, raised his sword, and flew to the top of the waterfall.With the light of the lone sword, Li Jian saw a scene that shocked him - the stone wall at the top was as smooth as jade, and the water seeped directly from it.

Li Jian felt that this simply overturned his cognition.While he was shocked, he still couldn't figure out what was going on.

If the earth ring has many magical functions, it can create rivers, lakes and seas, and the four seasons of weather, then it is not surprising that it can create water out of thin air.But the problem is that this place is clean, except for stone walls and water, there is nothing.Even at the bottom of the water, except for some ordinary stones, there is nothing.

In this way, Li Jian had no choice but to leave here first.He returned along the same road, jumped out of the well, greeted Zhao Cheng, and led him to the outside of the Lin residence.

The two reached the corner first for the time being.Li Jian asked Zhao Cheng: "Did you find anything when I went down?"

"Well. I found another well of theirs. They usually use the other well for water. And the well you entered just now is guarded by a special servant, and ordinary people don't go near it." Zhao Cheng said.

"I see." Li Jian thought—that is to say, the well and the weird waterfall he just explored will not be used for domestic water, but will only be used by Jiang Xueyi and Lin Zhao to predict the weather.

But he couldn't find the earth ring for a while, and couldn't figure out why the waterfall was weird, so Li Jian had to go back to the imperial palace first.

Therefore, Li Jian used spells to dry the clothes, summoned Gu Jian, and planned to return to the imperial palace.

At this time, he found that the street opposite was noisy, and people gathered together, as if they were looking at something.After a while, officers and soldiers came over, trying to coax the people away.The people who just came around and didn't know what happened were indeed coaxed away, but those people in the center of the crowd were all taken away.

"What's going on?" Li Jian frowned, as if she wanted to go and have a look.

"Xianzun... let's go back..." Zhao Cheng felt his head hurt more and more.

"What's wrong?" Li Jian raised her eyebrows.

Zhao Cheng had no choice but to hold his stomach, "Xianzun, I seem to be poisoned."

"..." Li Jian raised his eyebrows, "I'm afraid your acting skills are a little fake. Qi Xiu won't let me out, and you're so nervous, is he afraid that I'll see this? What did he do?"

Zhao Cheng: "..."

"That's all. I won't make things difficult for you. Let's go." In this way, Li Jian didn't bother too much, and Yu Gujian went directly to the direction of the emperor's palace.

Imperial Palace, Chuliu Palace, courtyard.

Beside the corridor, beside the red plums, Qi Xiu sat at the stone table, setting out two jugs of wine and some side dishes.

It was evening at this moment, the palace man quickly stepped forward to light the palace lanterns, and then retreated immediately.In the courtyard, Qi Xiu was the only one left.He didn't move the dishes, as if he was waiting for Li Jian.

Qi Xiu was dressed in black, with wide sleeves and a broad front, and sat silently.The palace lantern and the moonlight cast on his back, making him look extremely lonely.

Li Jian stepped into the courtyard, looked at him like this, and suddenly felt——did he live alone in the past 100 years?He didn't have anyone to accompany him, and when he lived here alone, he didn't even need the servants of the palace.

The backlight and the moon are the shade of the flowers, and it has been a century-old trace and a century-old heart.

Li Jian frowned and sighed lightly.

Qi Xiu turned his head, looked at him, and smiled faintly. "Master is back? Come and sit."

Li Jian didn't change his expression, but also stepped forward and sat down, picked up a glass of wine and drank it without saying a word.

"Where did master go today?" Qi Xiu asked seemingly casually, but clenched his fists in his sleeves. ——Li Jian, do you know about Gui Xiangyang's disturbance?Did he see something he shouldn't have seen?

"I went to Lin's house. I want to find the earth ring, so as not to be caught by Xihua first." Li Jian glanced at Qi Xiu and said so.

"Yeah." Qi Xiu nodded, and poured another glass of wine for Li Jian, "What's the matter? Did you see... anything else?"

Hearing this, Li Jian was silent at first, then smiled mockingly, summoned the lone sword, and plunged it straight into the ground beside him.

The dust rose and then fell, which was extremely conspicuous under the illumination of the palace lantern.

Qi Xiu frowned lightly, his expression was dark, but immediately he only said: "Master, do you want me to practice sword with you?"

"Still playing tricks on me?" Li Jian raised his eyebrows, which suddenly became quite sharp.

Qi Xiu's frown deepened, but he didn't answer, he just took the flagon again, and he didn't know whether he wanted to pour wine for Li Jian or himself.

Li Jian looked at him and said seriously: "If you want to be secretive about me as a lover, then we might as well be ordinary masters and apprentices."

When Qi Xiu heard this, his palms were so hard that he almost crushed the handle of the jug.He quickly put down the jug, held Li Jian's wrist, and looked into his eyes. "how you said that?"

"What are you afraid I know? Huh? A traitor." Li Jian looked at him.

After a while, Qi Xiu said: "It's nothing. It's just that you don't like these things. I don't think it's necessary for you to know. I just don't want to make you unhappy."

Li Jian looked at him. "What's the matter? Let's hear it."

"Actually, it's about the anti-Qi alliance. At this juncture, I have to take some tough measures." Qi Xiu said.

After a moment of silence, Li Jian asked, "Will you kill many people?"

Qi Xiu was also silent for a moment, and then replied: "Maybe they will. They will make a fuss about Gui Xiang's death. Maybe your past affairs will also be implicated."

"I understand. Fuji designed me to kill Gui Xiang, and she even told Gui Xiangyang in advance. So Gui Xiangyang has acted?" Li Jian looked at Qi Xiu, "Do you want to hear my suggestion?"

"Master, please explain." Qi Xiu frowned.

"The world I live in tells me one thing, that is, sometimes it's better to ignore public opinion than to block it. The more you hide the truth from the people, the more they will speculate on their own, not to mention the anti-Qi alliance and Xihua people. To fan the flames. So why not tell them the truth about some things? As for the anti-Qi alliance people, how to deal with them is your business, I just want to ask one question, will this matter be done fairly?" Li Jian asked.

Qi Xiu thought for a while, and replied: "Naturally. People who have nothing to do with it will never die in vain."

"What if the executors below are doing favoritism?" Li Jian asked again.

"I discussed the detailed rules with several ministers today, and such a situation will never happen." Qi Xiu said.

"That's good. I have nothing to say. You have been in power for a hundred years, so you should be very experienced. I am an amateur in this regard. In fact, I should not point fingers. I just don't want there to be a gap between us."

Having said that, Li Jian got up and seemed to want to go back to the house.It's just that he didn't take a few steps, thought for a while, and said, "If the Feijing Palace is changed, I also want a place to live."

"You..." Qi Xiu stood up.

"It's nothing. It's just that I live in your bedroom, which is really against the rules." Li Jian continued to walk forward after saying this.

"Master——" Qi Xiu stopped him, looked at his back and asked, "Did you blame me? Hate me?"

Li Jian stamped her feet and looked back at him. "Why do you ask?"

"I know, you never like these things. When we were practicing in Qingqiong, I thought you were very happy. You have also said many times that you aspire to the mountains and rivers, and you hate tricks and killing. But I..." Qi Xiu frowned.

"Indeed, I used to like to talk about Fengyue. It's best not to do anything lazily. But Ah Xiu, I think I want to remind you of one thing." Li Jian looked at him seriously, "Back then, I pushed you to this place There is also me in the position."

Hearing this, Qi Xiu didn't speak, but continued to listen to Li Jian.

Li Jian looked at him, and said again: "As a master, I pushed you, an apprentice, to this position. If I blame you, shouldn't I be the one to blame, first myself?"

"Master..." Qi Xiu took a step closer to Li Jian.

Li Jian continued: "If, while I push you to a high position, you have to face wars, killings, and the darkest things in the world, and you have to weigh the pros and cons of the entire country before selfishness." Going up and doing things against my will, on the other hand, I said that I hate killing and blood, and I don't want to see these things... In this way, you will bear the responsibility, and I will just sit back and enjoy the blessings and watch with cold eyes. Am I too an asshole? "

"Ah Xiu, you look down on me too much." Li Jian looked at Qi Xiu and said every word.

Under the moonlight, Li Jian's eyes were firm and persistent.When Qi Xiu saw it, he was already extremely moved.

Qi Xiu stepped forward and pulled Li Jian into his arms, "I'm sorry, Master."

Li Jian didn't move, let him hug him for a while, then raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder, "Okay. Do you have anything else tonight?"

"There are still some memorials that have not been approved tonight. Don't worry—" Qi Xiu let go of Li Jian, took his hand and walked into Chuliu Palace, "Master, let me see the injury on your back."

"I'm fine." Li Jian recalled the Gu Jian, and the Gu Jian flew upside down from the ground and landed in Li Jian's hands.

Li Jian picked up the sword and patted Qi Xiu with the back of the sword. "I should have made you think about your mistakes behind closed doors. Considering that you are already a generation of saint emperors, and you are busy with affairs, let it go this time. If there is a next time, I will not be lenient as a teacher."

After hearing this, Qi Xiu lowered his eyes, finally smiled, and said in a deep voice: "Okay, I will punish you as the master says."

Li Jian rubbed his chin and turned to leave.Qi Xiu stretched out one hand to wrap his arms around his psoas in time, clasped the back of his head with the other hand, inserted his five fingers into his hair, parted his face, and leaned over to kiss him.

Li Jian's upper lip is slightly thinner and softer than his lower lip. Qi Xiu especially likes it, so he kissed his lower lip first, then lightly bit his upper lip, slowly rolled over, sucked, and then stretched out. The tip of the tongue sticks out and touches lightly.In this way, the tip of the tongue is the most seductive.

In this way, Qi Xiu just tasted it, but did not go deeper.He put his forehead on Li Jian's, smiled lightly and said, "Master, thank you. You don't know how much what you said to me today means to me."

In fact, Li Jian knows that even people who have been together day and night for 100 years may not be able to fully understand each other.What's more, he and Qi Xiu haven't seen each other for 100 years. It's actually normal to have misunderstandings.Thinking of this, plus kissing might indeed have a soothing effect, the anger in Li Jian's heart disappeared at this moment.

Li Jian looked at Qi Xiu, and said: "Okay. You can go to work. By the way, I need you to do something for me."

"Master, tell me." Qi Xiu said.

"Let the people from Xuanjue Pavilion check the water source of the imperial capital." Li Jian said, "I want to know which river or rivers the well water you usually use comes from, and the source of water for all the wells. We all know."

"Okay. I'll arrange it now. But why do you want to investigate this all of a sudden?" Qi Xiu asked, "Could it be related to the earth ring?"

"Yes. You go to investigate first. Then I will discuss with you." Li Jian said this, Qi Xiu nodded, and went to Yangming Palace first.

Three days later, a very strange thing happened in Lanque City, the capital of the emperor, that is, Huang Xuelin wrote a new article.

Huang Xuelin was the Tanhualang back then. When he was young, he was very romantic. He liked to linger in the land of fireworks and moonlight. He wrote many good poems. Everyone said that he was amazingly talented. Everyone loved to read his poems, or articles and songs. endowed.

Huang Xuelin has been busy with government affairs in recent years, and there have been fewer pen and ink works, but everyone's love for him has not decreased but increased, and they are all looking forward to his new works.No, it's time to wait.

If it is said that Huang Xuelin has just published a new article, this is not unusual.The most unusual thing about this matter is that Huang Xuelin wrote an article about the love story of the great Sage Emperor, and was praised by the Sage Emperor.

The article omits details, to the effect that Qi Xiu was bullied by Emperor Xuande very badly back then, and was rescued by his master Li Jian in a crisis. The devil set up a frame to make people in the world think he is an evildoer.His master, Li Jian, took all the charges for him and falsely assassinated him in order to die in his hands.

Li Jian was indeed dead at the time, but the gods in the God Realm were moved by such touching love and dedication between them, so they saved Li Jian's life, so Li Jian was able to come back alive.Li Jian practiced in the God Realm for a hundred years, turned into an immortal and respectfully returned to the human world, reunited with Qi Xiu, and the lovers finally got married.

Naturally, this story is an artistic processing of the story of Li Jian and Qi Xiu. Many things involve many inside stories, and there is not much to say. For example, the story of Li Jian being rescued by God was fabricated by Huang Xuelin.In this way, things that cannot be said directly can be rounded up, adding divine factors, and making it easier for people to believe.

Huang Xuelin's writing style is extremely beautiful and sensational, which is incomparable to the previous small manuscripts and ban/books. The first batch of readers who were lucky enough to read this article all cried bitterly, lamenting that there is such a great love in this world.

Of course, the matter of Guixiang is also mentioned in a few pens in the article. Guixiang was rescued by Li Jian, so her heart secretly agrees.But Li Jian has always liked the Holy Emperor, so he never agreed.When the Xihua demon learned about this, he killed Guixiang and blamed Li Jian, in order to tarnish the reputation of Li Jian and Shengdi.

At the end of the article, Li Jian and Qi Xiu's achievements are also listed one by one, such as saving the dream-eating tapir tribe, saving many missing persons in Jingzhou, Qin State, and so on.In this way, people who read the article, in addition to lamenting the love between the two of them, also want to praise the two people who have the world in mind and are really a good match. Qi Xiu really deserves to be the king of the world, and Li Jian really deserves this Supreme lover.

And this incident was indeed because of Li Jian's sentence "it should be sparse and not blocked", which made Qi Xiu re-examine this matter and arranged for Huang Xuelin to do so.

Before Huang Xuelin started writing, he also went to Li Jian to discuss some details with him.

Li Jian also came up with an idea, that is, after the article is written, the front page should print his appearance with Qi Xiu together.

In fact, Li Jian blushed a little when she came up with this idea.But in order to make things go more smoothly, he also bit the bullet and let Huang Xuelin do this.

Sure enough, this effect is excellent.On the cover of the book is a picture of two people looking at each other in the rain, one in white and one in green, one holding an oiled paper umbrella to support the other, with gentle eyes.The drizzle was lingering, the distance between the two of them seemed close, but not far, one of them raised his hand, as if he wanted to touch the lapel of the person opposite him, but that hand was about to be stretched out, but he seemed to be afraid to do so.

In addition, both of them look very good, and the pictures together are extremely harmonious and moving. In this way, the combination of pictures and stories has touched the hearts of many people, especially many girls.The girls all want to shout—"Don't be afraid, don't care about worldly eyes, don't care about morality, reach out, touch him, you can hug him!"

Even some girls who have been secretly in love with the Holy Emperor and begged to marry into the Emperor's Palace couldn't bear to be jealous when they saw such a scene, and only felt sad for the Holy Emperor.

The matter was rather urgent, and the first batch of books only had time to print [-] copies, but in the blink of an eye they were reprinted privately by private households, and became popular all over the country at an extremely fast speed.

The common people's conversations after dinner these days are all about the love story between Qi Xiu and Li Jian, and they don't feel that another bloody storm is happening behind the scenes.

First of all, it was Xiao Dong who had not waited until Lin Zhao picked up the silver tael, and showed up to ask for it.The dark guards have already had some clues by interrogating the prefect Liu these days, and now following Xiao Dong, they directly found another lair of theirs.

Among these people, there were indeed those who were tricked in without knowing the truth of the matter, and they might be in a state of hesitation and wavering in their hearts.But when they saw their companions in the alliance being killed, even if they knew that they might have something to do with the devil world, they might develop a heart against the Holy Emperor and eventually become a disaster.

While this alliance is not yet growing, after discussions between the Holy Emperor and the ministers, including Su Yang, all these people should be executed.

These people could not be executed explicitly, so they were all assassinated.They either died of poison or hidden weapons. In short, the murderer could not be found.Among them, some family members have also reported to the government.The government investigated for a long time, claiming that these may indeed be serial murders, and that the murderer may be a mysterious organization, saying that they will continue to investigate, but they will not be resolved after all.

In this way, no one from the anti-Qi alliance fanned the flames, coupled with Huang Xuelin's reputation and writing style, the public opinion turmoil temporarily receded.The parade/demonstration did not end.Vicious incidents that might happen on the day of the demonstration, such as killing a few people and then blaming Qi Xiu, were also snuffed out in the bud.

In the end, it was Gui Xiangyang who needed to do something to appease him.Li Jian personally went to Lincheng to visit and explained the matter in detail.Of course, what Gui Xiangyang needed was evidence, and Li Jian had evidence, so he arrested Lin Zhao.

Lin Zhao also read Huang Xuelin's book, and was probably moved. He believed in Li Jian and was willing to help him, so he explained it to Gui Xiangyang.Gui Xiangyang naturally didn't listen to anything, he just looked heartbroken.

Seeing this, Li Jian only wondered if he wanted Mu Ye to help Gui Xiangyang forget about these sad things by dreaming in the future.

After all, Gui Xiangyang is Gui Xiang's older brother, so Mu Ye must be willing to help with this.

After leaving Lincheng, returning to Lanque, and then returning to the Imperial Palace, Lin Zhao still went to Ganquan Palace.It stands to reason that he also participated in the Anti-Qi alliance and should have been executed as well.But he holds the secret of the Earth Ring, has a special status, and has not really entered that organization yet, so he is temporarily left in Oasis Palace.

And at this time, Qi Xiu really sent someone to help Li Jian reorganize the Feijing Palace, and removed the original sign, renamed it "Wuwen Palace", exclusively for Li Jian to live in.

Li Jianjian went back to Buwen Palace to take a rest.

In the afternoon, the dark guard Zhao Cheng came to look for Li Jian.

"What's the matter?" Li Jian asked him.

Zhao Cheng then replied: "A few days ago, the Holy Emperor asked me to investigate Lanque's water source problem, and the results came out. The Holy Emperor said to tell you directly."

"Oh? How's the situation, tell me quickly." Li Jian said.

"Yes." Zhao Cheng replied, "Most of the well water of the people in Lanque City comes from the Minjiang River. Everyone knows this. The water for this street comes from the Ni River, but the source of the water for several households cannot be found. Like popping out."

"Which ones are they? Do you have a map?" Li Jian couldn't help asking.

"Yes." Zhao Cheng took out a sketch, "The wells in the whole city are circled, and the households marked in red have unknown sources of water. By the way, the well in Lin Zhao's house is also marked .”

"Thank you for your hard work. Let me take a look." Li Jian said, looking at the sketch.

After looking at the picture for a long time, Li Jian found a pen and connected the wells with lines.Strangely, after the lines are connected, they become a human figure.

And the well in Lin Zhao's house, which can predict the weather, is in this person's heart.Not only that, but Li Jian knew medical skills, so he could tell at a glance that the places where the wells marked in red appeared were important acupoints of the human body, and they were fatal acupoints.

That is to say, the wells in the entire Lanque City are connected to one person, and the locations of the wells with unknown sources of water are all important acupuncture points of the human body.

——What is going on with all this?

There was some idea in Li Jian's mind, but he couldn't fully grasp it.However, that flash of inspiration already sent a chill down his spine.

Li Jian asked Zhao Cheng to retreat first, and studied alone for a while.

In the evening, Liu Hua came and said that Qi Xiu invited him to drink.

"When are we going?" Li Jian asked him.

Liu Hua quickly said, "Your Majesty is still handling official business in Yangming Palace for about half an hour. How is it?"

Li Jian thought for a while, but said: "You just say that I have something to do. I have something to go to Qingqiong."

After Li Jian said this, she really took the painting and walked away with the sword.

Li Jian flew into the night, glanced at the imperial palace, and then at the entire Lanque City, the feelings in his heart were really hard to describe.

The imperial capital is prosperous, even at night, the entire Lanque City is lit up with thousands of lights, Yutu Street and Hongfen Street are still singing and singing every night, it looks peaceful and prosperous, as if the silent killing a few days ago did not happen at all.

The red blood flowed on the street, cleaned up, and no one knew about it.

Li Jian's heart became more and more heavy, he looked away, and couldn't help but sighed, before continuing to walk with the sword.

It can be said that these days, he is actually avoiding Qi Xiu.

Li Jian was not stupid. When he decided to come back, he was already prepared. The person he had to face and accompany was an emperor, and he had to be strong in heart.His rationality told him that, just like what he said to Qi Xiu that night, he pushed Qi Xiu to a high position, if he only let Qi Xiu bear all this, he would be a jerk.

But after the incident really happened, Li Jian was really in a panic all the time.That feeling was the same as when he accidentally killed Guixiang that day.

Regarding Qi Xiu's final choice and actions, he felt that he could not comment.What's more, it was not his decision alone, it was the result of discussions with the dignitaries.It is hard to say whether the choices made by the emperors are right or wrong. It can only be seen whether they are beneficial to the whole country, and this benefit cannot be seen in a short time.

Li Jian really wanted to escape for a while, even for a moment.

Therefore, he also sent a message to Du Rui, so he came to drink with him.Of course, Li Jian just wanted Du Rui and Zixia to advise on the strange things related to the water well and the soil ring.

Zi Xia was busy, and it was Du Rui who was drinking with Li Jian after all.

The two came to the long uninhabited Muyun Peak.It was cold in the mountains, and it was snowing on Muyun Peak, which has not yet melted today.

Du Rui accompanied Li Jian to cook a pot of wine, glanced at him, and said, "I've heard about what happened these days. Those people who died inexplicably were made by Qi Xiu?"

Li Jian drank a glass of wine and said, "That's right."

"I said long ago that he wants too much, but you want too little." Du Rui said, "It is true that you are the one who pushed him to the high position, but he also wants that position."

Li Jian heard the words, only said: "He worked too hard."

"Have you ever thought about getting along with him in a different way?" Du Rui raised his eyebrows.

"For example?" Li Jian frowned.

"For example you
