Chapter 26 The troubled empress, the turmoil in Luoyang! "I don't know." After thinking for a long time, the empress slowly stood up, with a trace of confusion in her eyes. She had promised her brother the prince to protect the State of Qi, and she was taught to be loyal to the country and the people of Qi. But now someone told her that her brother the prince who taught her to be loyal to the emperor and the country is a treacherous person who stole the country. How could she accept this?Li Xingyun was not surprised by this result. He just smiled, walked to the side of the empress and said, "Then protect the Qi Kingdom in your heart. I will wait for the day when you know the answer." Li Xingyun's words startled the empress. She then looked determined and cupped her hands, saying, "I dare not guarantee other things, but if Your Highness raises an army to attack Liang, Qi will spare no effort." Li Xingyun nodded slightly, then looked at the empress and said sincerely: "You really didn't let me down." He didn't say the second half of the sentence. He is the most reassuring vassal king in the world of The Bad Guys. What does he mean? The empress frowned slightly. It sounded like Li Xingyun had been paying attention to her for a long time, like an old acquaintance. "Okay, I'll let Ji Ruxue contact you about the uprising and other matters afterwards." After Li Xingyun finished speaking, the empress looked at him slightly. He was asking her for someone. What was the relationship between him and Ji Ruxue? However, the empress did not ask, but just cupped her hands and said, "I will order her to serve Your Highness wholeheartedly." After leaving the Governor's Mansion, the Empress was filled with mixed feelings. When she arrived at the Donglai Inn where Fanyintian and the others were, Ji Ruxue and the others had been waiting for a long time. "Meet the Empress." Ji Ruxue, Fanyintian, and Miaochengtian all bowed. The Empress glanced at everyone and finally set her sights on Ji Ruxue. "What is your relationship with Li Xingyun? He actually asked me to keep you." Ji Ruxue was startled, and immediately replied: "Replying to the Queen, I have nothing to do with him." "Really?" The empress narrowed her eyes slightly, but in the end she did not delve into it further. She just said lightly: "Even so, he has already spoken, so you should stay and serve him wholeheartedly, and report everything about him to me as soon as possible." "Yes!" Ji Ruxue bowed her head with a complicated expression. Why did she feel that the relationship between him and Li Xingyun was getting more and more complicated, and her situation seemed to be getting more and more passive. What on earth did Li Xingyun want to do? Anyway, Ji Ruxue couldn't see through him at all. At this time, the empress stood in front of the window with a puzzled look on her face, looking in the direction of the Yuzhou Governor's Mansion. She couldn't help muttering, "You've found out my identity so clearly the first time we met. What a descendant of Li Tang..." With the empress's skills and temperament, she would not be as passive as before when facing anyone. But Li Xingyun was different. His performance made the empress feel as if he knew her better than she did. Facing this guy, she actually felt pressured. However, the empress immediately remembered Li Siyuan's embarrassed look just now, and couldn't help pursing her red lips, with a smile on her face.

…… Luoyang. The city gate, which used to be bustling with people, was now crowded with common people. People gathered together and pointed at the five heads hanging on the city gate. Yang Shuzi, who was wearing a bamboo hat and was in the crowd, couldn't help but feel a little shocked when he saw the heads of the five Yama soldiers hanging on the city gate in front of him. He didn't expect that Xingyun's speed was so fast that the five Yama Kings of the Xuanming Sect were all killed by him. At this moment, a figure appeared behind Yang Shuzi and whispered, "Sir, we have found the person you asked us to investigate, and his whereabouts are under our control. What should we do next?" Yang Shuzi whispered, "Continue to monitor him and find out his interpersonal relationships. We must pay attention to every detail, and then wait for the order from His Highness before taking any action." "Yes, sir." The figure left quietly without causing any waves. At this time, bursts of horse hoof sounds came from the city. Knights in armor shouted at the lieutenant's crowd, "Leave quickly and don't make noise here!" The leader even waved a horsewhip to whip the people around him. Immediately, the onlookers dispersed, and Yang Shuzi also lowered his hat and disappeared into the crowd. "It's them! The five Hades of Xuanming Sect!" A knight reined in his horse and looked at the five heads hanging above the city gate in horror. The leading knight waved his whip and commanded: "Take down their heads quickly and send someone to inform His Majesty and the Underworld Emperor!" Luoyang, Chongde Hall. Bang! A luminous cup was smashed to the ground, and the ground was full of fragments. Zhu Wen, who was wearing a dragon robe, sat on the dragon throne and slapped his thigh and shouted angrily: "Where is my face? I ask you where is my face? These five bastards are dead, but Li Xingyun, that little thief, actually dared to hang their heads on the gate of Luoyang. How dare he! Send me troops to Yuzhou. I will destroy Wang Jian and skin Li Xingyun alive!" A civil official in court robes stepped out and said, "Your Majesty, the empire has just been settled, and our Daliang is surrounded by wolves. The most important thing now is to recuperate and wait for the right time, and not to start a war again." This man's surname was Li Zhen, the great-grandson of Li Baozhen, the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty. He was resentful of the Tang court because he failed in the imperial examinations many times. Later, as the first adviser under Zhu Wen, he instigated Zhu Wen to kill all the officials of the Tang Dynasty and single-handedly created the Baima Posthouse disaster. After hearing this, Zhu Wen slammed his hand hard on the armrest of the dragon throne. The five Yama Kings of Xuanming Sect were once Zhu Wen's powerful generals, but now they were all killed in one day and their heads were hung on the top of Luoyang City. This was not just a provocation, it was simply shitting on Daliang's head! Zhu Wen had a hot temper, so how could he bear such an injustice? However, Daliang had been at war for years. Although its territory was vast, its national strength had begun to decline. Zhu Wen shouted angrily, "You little brat is bullying Daliang!" No one in the hall dared to respond. Zhu Wen saw that his ministers dared not say a word, so he shouted angrily, "Go and call Zhu Yougui to me!" Zhu Yougui, the son of Zhu Wen, practiced the incomplete evil skill Nine Nether Mysterious Heaven Skill and established the Xuanming Sect in order to assist Zhu Wen in becoming emperor. He was known as the Emperor of the Underworld. Zhu Yougui himself became a dwarf due to the incompleteness of his practice and his skin color turned dark blue like a monster. From then on, Zhu Wen gradually became estranged from Zhu Yougui and developed disgust towards him. "Your Majesty, the Second Prince has arrived." An eunuch stepped forward quickly. Zhu Wen's mood had calmed down a lot by now, and he waved his hand and said, "Let him in." At this time, a strange child, no more than four feet tall, suddenly walked into the hall. Not only did his skin color look strange, but his hair accessories and clothes were also quite shady. He wore an exaggerated fan-shaped hair crown on his head, and his limbs were extremely short. Where he stood, he exuded a bone-chilling yin energy. His whole body gave people a very awkward feeling. The child bowed and said in a sharp and piercing accent: "Your son greets your father."
