Chapter 204: Opening Longquan, Chang'an is in turmoil!At this time, Li Xingyun also let go of Shangguan Yunque and said, "Next time you make such a mistake, you don't have to come back to see me. Go find a place to beg for food." Shangguan Yunque smiled awkwardly and waved his hands quickly, saying, "No, Your Highness, I was just careless for a moment." Shangguan Yunque raised his hand and swore as he spoke: "I promise that I will not make such a mistake again." Li Xingyun snorted and said, "I just happen to have something for you to do." "What's the matter? I will complete your Highness's task successfully." Shangguan Yunque looked righteous, but his soft voice sounded a little strange. Li Xingyun said calmly: "Li Maozhen has returned from Raojiang. There may be some trouble in Chang'an. You should go back and take action when it is time. I have sent someone to send a letter to Chang'an with the specific arrangements. When you go back, just look for my master Yang Shuzi. He knows what to do." Shangguan Yunque immediately said in a serious tone: "I understand. I will set off right away." Li Xingyun nodded, and after Shangguan Yunque left, the group went to learn about Liang's colorful salt pond. "Your Highness, you have been asking me to dig a secret passage here. Now we have already prepared the secret passage, but I don't know where the Longquan treasure you mentioned is." Li Xingyun stood on the top of the mountain and looked at the salt pond below and said, "Nothing in the world is permanent, only the mirror can straighten one's clothes. The dragon hangs in the sky, right under one's feet."

Li Xingyun's words stunned Duan Chengtian and the others. They looked at each other and asked, "What do you mean?" Li Xingyun smiled lightly, without further explanation, and simply said, "You'll know at a glance!" Li Xingyun stretched out his right hand, and the gray-white energy gathered in his hand. With a humming sound, the Longquan sword behind him flew out of the scabbard with a slight tremor and flew towards the salt pond with a whoosh. Li Xingyun tapped his toes lightly and jumped high into the air, holding the Longquan sword. The Longquan sword technique was performed, and a golden sword energy gathered on the Longquan sword. boom! Like a meteor, Li Xingyun holding the Longquan sword smashed into the colorful salt pool. "This is……" Ji Ruxue was surprised to see that the colorful salt pond suddenly began to vibrate, and even the hill beneath their feet was shaking slightly. "Look, the water in the pond is receding!" Lu Linxuan pointed to the ground under Li Xingyun's feet. Duan Chengtian, Hanba and others took a closer look and found that the ground under Li Xingyun's feet had risen several feet above the surrounding area without them noticing, and the water in the salt pond had also slowly receded. Click, click, click... A crack slowly appeared under Li Xingyun's feet, and a coffin made of pure gold slowly appeared in front of Li Xingyun. On the coffin, the emperor bent his bow and drew his sword, fighting for the Central Plains. There was an indentation carved by the Longquan sword in the center of the coffin. Li Xingyun narrowed his eyes slightly. This is why the Longquan sword is called the key. At this time, everyone had rushed behind Li Xingyun, only to see Li Xingyun slash his arm with the Longquan sword, and blood immediately dripped onto the emperor carving on the golden coffin. The soul was forged with blood. Li Xingyun placed the Longquan sword into the dent with one hand. With a click, a golden light appeared above the coffin. Boom! A roar suddenly sounded under the feet of the crowd, followed by a continuous clicking sound. Amid the sound of gears turning, the golden coffin slowly opened, revealing a downward staircase. "Is this the Longquan treasure?" Duan Chengtian's tone was full of excitement. Countless bad people died for supervising the construction of Longquan. Now all the bad people hope that Your Highness will open Longquan and revive the Tang Dynasty! Li Xingyun looked at the scene in front of him in silence for a moment and then said calmly: "Let's go in and take a look." A group of people followed Li Xingyun and slowly stepped into the Longquan Treasure Trove. Bronze torches lit up one after another after everyone stepped in. The corridor was filled with portraits of emperors of the Tang Dynasty and carvings of some deeds, such as Emperor Taizong's Weishui Alliance and the later relief of the Turkic Khan Jie Li kneeling on the ground and dancing. Li Xingyun couldn't help but sigh as he watched this scene, "It only took two years to destroy DTZ and avenge the previous humiliation. Emperor Taizong is truly a role model for our generation." Duan Chengtian, who was standing behind Li Xingyun, also showed a trace of yearning, "At that time, the Tang Dynasty was so prosperous that all nations came to pay tribute to it."

"There's no need to dwell on the past, because I can do better than he did." Li Xingyun strode forward, and the stone sculptures on both sides disappeared like passing clouds. Duan Chengtian and a group of bad guys were stunned for a moment and then quickly followed. After exiting the corridor, there were 108 dragon-shaped stone pillars standing on both sides of the suspended stone path. The stone path reflected a faint golden light under the light of the fire. On one side of the stone path was an open space full of kneeling corpses. These people were all wearing the clothes of the bad guys. Li Xingyun looked at this scene in a trance and said, "Why are they willing to become the dry bones in this tomb..." "For the Tang Dynasty..." Duan Chengtian said in a deep voice: "They are all for the Tang Dynasty." Li Xingyun bowed and saluted: "Yanchi is honored to bury your loyal bones, and I, Li Xingyun, will not let you down." Less than a hundred steps further, there was dazzling golden light on both sides. Someone whispered, "Gold, all gold..." Li Xingyun stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the golden throne under the dragon head carving in the distance and said calmly: "Brush the stone with gold powder, bury gunpowder underneath, and replace the pillars with the beams." Duan Chengtian bowed and said, "I understand, but if we want to transport the gold mountain here back to Chang'an, I'm afraid it will take a lot of manpower." Li Xingyun said calmly, "Go discuss this with Zhang Chengye and ask him to produce the approval document from Jin. You can pretend to be merchants and transport the gold to the border of Jin. I have asked Qin Yong and others to train back and forth on the border of Jin and Liang as a cover. Then let the Tian'an Army take over and escort the gold to the Xuanming Sect in Luoyang to find Zhong Xiaokui." Duan Chengtian suddenly realized that His Highness had already arranged everything. He nodded and said, "I understand." Li Xingyun took a last look at the golden dragon throne and did not move forward. Although the imperial seal was in it, taking out the imperial seal would also activate the self-destruct mechanism of the Longquan treasure. Everything still needed to be considered carefully. …… Chang'an City. Imperial Medical Office. A young man holding a herb asked Yang Shuzi: "Teacher, why is this Curculigo poisonous but still used as medicine?" Yang Shuzi talked freely: “Medicine is poisonous to some extent, but as long as it is used in a reasonable manner and dosage and is suitable for the symptoms, it can naturally be used to cure diseases and save lives.” "Just like the Curculigo in your hand, as a traditional Chinese medicine that replenishes kidney yang, strengthens tendons and bones, and removes cold and dampness, it can be used to treat impotence, cold sperm, and weak tendons and bones. It tastes spicy and has hot medicinal properties. It can be used with Eucommia ulmoides, Cistanche deserticola, Cuscuta australis, etc. to make wine and drink it. It has the effects of replenishing yang, strengthening kidneys, and strengthening tendons and bones. However, you need to pay attention to the dosage of the medicine when taking it, and people with yin deficiency and hyperactivity of fire should not take it." "Student has taken note." The young man wrote furiously on a piece of rice paper, writing down everything Yang Shuzi had just said word for word. In this era, there are many doctors with superb medical skills, but due to the constraints of the times, most of these doctors are passed down from father to son, or taught by apprentices. Many doctors have only one or two apprentices in their lifetime, which also leads to the limitations of contemporary medicine. The Imperial Medical Bureau of the Tang Dynasty was the earliest official medical school. As a bad person, Yang Shuzi was originally the chief physician of the Imperial Medical Bureau. As the second in command of the Imperial Medical Bureau, he also rebuilt the Imperial Medical Bureau in Chang'an after receiving the instruction of Li Xingyun. Of course, the current Imperial Medical Bureau is very different from the previous Imperial Medical Bureau that served the Tang Dynasty royal family. The main purpose of the current Imperial Medical Bureau is to train medical talents for the Tang Dynasty, so the scale of its enrollment has reached 300 students. With the strong support of Li Xingyun, this is undoubtedly the largest medical school in history. The once abandoned medicine gardens outside the city of Chang'an have also been reopened. Now, thousands of homeless men and women have been hired as pharmacists to manage the medicine gardens, and initial results can be seen after a year. "My lord, here is a letter from your highness!" Yang Shuzi frowned and looked at the bad guy who suddenly appeared in front of him and asked, "What's the matter?" The bad guy clasped his hands and said, "Prince Qi has returned, and Chang'an will be in chaos. Your Highness asked you to close the net and wield the sword." At this time, Yang Shuzi had also opened the letter. When he saw the words "kill without mercy" at the end, he immediately understood what was going on. He waved his hand and said, "Notify the thirteen captains of the Ming and An departments in Chang'an City and have them come to the Military Affairs Office to see me tonight." After the establishment of the Grand Council, the Bad People were divided into two parts, the Light Department and the Dark Department. The Light Department supervised all officials, while the Dark Department was responsible for espionage and undercover work. Yang Shuzi and other former captains of the Bad People were promoted to the rank of captain. However, since many people among the Bad People still had undercover missions, the new system of the Grand Council is currently only implemented in the Guanzhong area. "Yes, sir, I will do it right away." The bad guy turned and left. Yang Shuzi put his hands behind his back, frowned slightly and said in deep thought: "Li Maozhen, what will you choose?"

…… Military Affairs Pavilion, top floor. "Marshal, His Highness has sent a letter." A bad guy knelt on one knee and handed over a secret letter with both hands. Yuan Tiangang waved his hand, a white energy flashed, and the envelope was immediately in his hand. Yuan Tiangang opened the letter and read its contents, then said in deep thought: "I originally thought that His Highness would come back to handle this matter himself, but I didn't expect that he would hand it over to me. His Highness has matured a lot. It is indeed much more difficult for him to deal with Li Maozhen than for me. However, His Highness still doesn't know enough about these princes. People like Li Maozhen will not give up until they are defeated. Only if Your Highness personally subdues him can he be completely loyal to you." The bad man bowed and said, "General, may I tell His Highness what you said?" Yuan Tiangang waved his hand and said, "No need to do that, just let it go. With your current means, it's no problem to deal with Li Maozhen. Just do as your Highness tells you. It just so happens that I haven't taken action for a long time, so let me see what King Qi is like." The bad guy nodded immediately and said, "Yes, Marshal." Yuan Tiangang paused and asked, "Who did your Highness tell about this?" "Yang Shuzi, Queen, there is also a letter sent by carrier pigeon. Shangguan Yunque is also on his way. Your Highness seems to be very concerned about Li Maozhen." Yuan Tiangang laughed and said, "You are right. Chang'an is your highness's base camp. If Li Maozhen disrupts Chang'an, no matter how many plans he has made in Longquan, they will be nothing but rootless duckweed in the end." "The Marshal is absolutely right!" The bad man complimented, but saw that Yuan Tiangang had disappeared from the spot. The bad man was immediately shocked. The Marshal's skills were becoming more and more unfathomable! …… Prince Qi's Mansion. "I'm so annoyed. These losers can't even handle such a simple thing. A mere Li Renfu dares to make conditions with us. They even have the nerve to call themselves Tang's ministers!" The empress looked grim and threw the memorial in her hand on the table. Fan Yintian and others who were kneeling on one knee in the hall looked at each other, not knowing what to do. Fan Yintian bowed and said, "Empress, the governor of Dingnan Army has already defected. Li Tuoba once pledged allegiance to Zhu Wen and joined forces with Liang Army to defeat our Qi Army. Now, Li Renfu wants to take advantage of Your Highness's unstable position to make Your Highness recognize the legitimacy of their hereditary governorship. According to the news from the Bad People's Anbu, there are still people in the Tuoba clan who claim to be Tang officials. Li Renfu must want to use Your Highness's bloodline to shut up some people in the tribe to prevent internal division in Dingnan Army." The empress waved her hand and snorted coldly, "That will definitely not do as they wish. Now that Zhu Wen is dead and Liang is in decline, I want to see if the Dingnan Army dares to march to Chang'an!" "If it weren't for the fact that Guanzhong needs time to recuperate, I would have sent troops to Lingzhou and Xiazhou right now!" The empress was furious and raised her chin slightly. "Have you informed Xingyun about this?" Miao Chengtian said, "Some bad people have passed the news to Jin State. According to reliable intelligence, Your Highness killed a great master on the Jianghu Ranking in Youzhou, and the other two masters died at the hands of Corpse Ancestor Ying Gou after fighting with Your Highness." "This brat, why doesn't he just hide in the dark? What is he doing all the time?" The empress paced back and forth with her hands on her hips, somewhat dissatisfied. Finally, she couldn't help but tilt her head and frowned and asked, "Do you have a letter from him?" Miao Chengtian and Xuan Jingtian looked at each other, then shook their heads and said, "We haven't received any letter from His Highness yet." At this time, Duo Wentian came in and knelt on one knee and said, "Empress, there is a letter from Jin State. Your Highness said that the Empress wrote it herself." The empress's eyes lit up and she said hurriedly, "Present it quickly." But after the empress opened the letter and took a look, her expression changed, and she immediately covered her chest and asked, "He's back?" …… Ezhou official road. "What's the matter? Can you contact the Chang'an Shadow Guard?" Li Maozhen asked calmly while looking at the blazing bonfire.

Shadow stood aside and saluted, saying, "Replying to King Qi, Chang'an has long been controlled by the Bad People, and most of our Shadow Guards have been secretly eliminated by the Bad People." Li Maozhen snorted and said, "Yun Ji, are you just going to let the bad guys do whatever they want?" Shadow paused and said in a deep voice: "According to what Shadow Guard said, this was all tacitly approved by the Empress." Li Maozhen was silent for a moment, the fire reflected in his eyes flickered, just like his ambition that had been dormant for many years. "Let the Shadow Guard contact my old generals and ministers and tell them that the real King Qi has returned." Li Maozhen stood up, his eyes cold, "Yun Ji is still too young, she probably doesn't even know that she is being used by Li Xingyun. This king rose from obscurity, and shed countless blood to build the current Fengxiang foundation, how can I let her give it away? Li Xingyun, whether he is worthy of being the common ruler of the world depends on whether this king agrees or not!" Li Maozhen thought about it and felt more and more that the current world situation was too weird. There were also big problems with Li Xingyun. Li Maozhen never liked to put his fate in the hands of others. All he believed in was his own strength and his witchcraft! (End of this chapter)
