Pokémon: Legend of the Rockies

Looking at the corpse with eyes turned white, both Li Yan and Di Renjie looked very ugly. The female demon catcher committed suicide, and the clue was broken again. Di Renjie didn't know who the mastermind was, but Li Yan didn't know where the remaining six gates were.

The sky gradually glowed white, and it would be dawn soon. That night, the Hall of Rende was burned down, Wu Zhouxia was assassinated, so many demon catchers and guards died, and the prisoner even committed suicide in fear of crime.

This is a shame and humiliation to the royal family and Wu Zetian. This is a blatant provocation!

Above the court, Wu Zetian was furious and ordered the capital to be sealed off, and all the people in Jiuli were searched and arrested. Anyone who saw Chi You's tattoo on his body would be killed!

The imperial palace was also strictly investigated. It doesn’t matter if it’s not investigated. After the investigation, hundreds of people from Jiuli were found out, and all of them were beheaded in the street.
In the morning, Li Yan dragged his exhausted body back to the Li Courtyard. Chu Siyi was very worried about Li Yan after hearing the rumors about the palace, and was relieved to see that Li Yan had returned safely.

Li Yan soaked in a hot bath comfortably, and lay in the bathtub thinking about things.

Li Yan hasn't told Di Renjie and Wu Zetian about the eight gates of the ghost domain. If he did, Wu Zhouxia's Jiuli identity would be exposed. Fortunately, they only completed six gates, and they should not be able to summon Giratina at present.

Just in case, we still have to break all the remaining six doors. Unfortunately, Li Yan doesn't know the location, and the system task only lasts for more than a day, so Li Yan can't let him find it slowly.

It's not too difficult to find the hidden 6 doors if no one bothers you, but...

It is impossible for Master Li to stand idly by!

He did not know how to escape from death last night, but his mask was left on the scene, he should have been injured, but there is still no guarantee that he will not act again tonight.

There is also no key evidence to expose his identity as Jiuli. After all, Wu Zetian still trusts this national teacher very much.

Li Yan sat up from the bathtub, wrapped himself in a towel to wipe his body, anyway, the critical moment now is to destroy the remaining 6 magic circles!
As for how to find ironclad evidence that Li Guoshi is Jiuli, Li Yan smiled slightly, what is ironclad evidence?

Isn't it ironclad evidence to see Li Guoshi wearing a Jiuli mask?

As long as Wu Zetian saw Li Guoshi wearing a Jiuli mask in the middle of the night and doing some sneaky things in the palace, he would naturally be able to expose Li Guoshi's true identity.

Speaking of Jiuli, Li Yan remembered that his Jiuli costume seemed to have been lost on the battlefield when he crossed over.

Now Li Yan knew that the two sides fighting at that time were the Tang army and the foreign small country.

Most of the corpses on that day belonged to foreign soldiers. Judging from the results, it is speculated that his Jiuli costume is likely to be among the Tang army.

Although Jiuli's mask has not changed much from ancient times to the present, the clothes are completely different. Li Yan is not afraid of being recognized by others, so he has to find a way to get the clothes back, which will help him hide his identity a lot.

At noon, when Li Yan was having dinner with Chu Siyi, a large group of soldiers came suddenly, and the leader brought Li Yan a message from Wu Zetian, summoning Li Yan to secretly enter the palace.

In the afternoon, when the prescribed time came, Li Yan, led by a eunuch, came to a remote bedroom.

Inside, Di Renjie and Wu Zetian were inside, Li Yan was a little surprised, he didn't expect such a secret meeting.

As soon as Li Yan entered the door, a sword with a flashing cold light stretched out to Li Yan's throat, and Li Yan was shocked!
what happened?

My own system didn't even perceive this person!
Li Yan glanced over, and saw a pair of clear and round jade eyes, not the slightest bit scary, and even a little cute, but it was such a pair of eyes that seemed to come out of an anime, but they were overflowing with killing intent!
"Stop! He is Li Yan!"

Wu Zetian opened his mouth to explain, and the man holding the sword immediately retreated and stood in the shadow of the wooden stake beside him. Li Yan heaved a sigh of relief and finally saw clearly.

It turned out to be a bodyguard in black, her whole body was tightly wrapped, only a pair of eyes were exposed, from the figure, it should be a woman, it seems to be Wu Zetian's personal dead waiter.

This person is definitely an out-and-out master. After careful observation, Li Yan discovered that the extremely strong waveguide power is wrapped around this person!
It is so rich that it can be integrated with nature, even Li Yan's system defaults to her as a natural scenery, so no information is displayed.

"Li Yan, you are startled, come in."

Wu Zetian nodded to Li Yan, and beckoned Li Yan to come in. Li Yan swallowed, and carefully sat opposite Wu Zetian, and the three of them formed a three-legged confrontation.

"Today was originally the day when I secretly summoned the Twelve Demon Catchers to discuss the secrets. Unexpectedly, all kinds of accidents would happen frequently. Now, Li Yan is the only one left among the Twelve Demon Catchers."

Wu Zetian sighed, his tone somewhat sad, Li Yan frowned, looking at the guard standing in the shadow of the pillar, Di Renjie saw this, and smiled slightly:
"Li Yan, you don't have to worry. Her name is Jing Wen. She is His Majesty's personal bodyguard. She never leaves the distance of 10 meters from His Majesty. She is her own."

Li Yan rubbed his chin, since you all don't mind, then I don't have any objections.

"Is there any secret you want to discuss with me today?"

Wu Zetian and Di Renjie looked at each other and nodded, then Di Renjie spoke:

"This matter, Li Yan, you also encountered it last night..."

Li Yan frowned slightly, and Di Renjie said mysteriously:

"That's right, it's about Jiuli."

"Although I don't know, Li Yan, how did you know about Jiuli's organization, but judging from your performance so far, you obviously have a lot of hatred with Jiuli."

Di Renjie smiled slightly:

"Li Yan, at such a young age, you have extraordinary abilities. You can fight against Jiuli alone. We really admire it. To be honest, our court is also Jiuli's enemy."

"As the saying goes, an enemy's enemy is a friend, why don't we unite and fight against Jiuli?"

Li Yan smiled faintly. It turned out that this was the purpose. Li Yan pondered and raised a question:

"You don't know anything about my identity. You believe me just because I am hostile to Jiuli? I'm afraid it's not such a good thing."

Di Renjie was taken aback for a moment, and then looked at Wu Zetian, seeing Wu Zetian's serious face, Di Renjie hurriedly made up reasons, but Li Yan saw through them all.

Just when the two sides were at a stalemate, Wu Zetian suddenly spoke:

"It's because of Zhou Xia!"

Li Yan was taken aback, Princess Wu Zhouxia?
"Every time Zhou Xia was in danger, it was you, Li Yan, who came to the rescue. I knew it was just a coincidence, but when I learned of Zhou Xia's identity back then, I didn't choose to kill her. Instead, I continued to protect her conscientiously. From this, we can see that Li Yan, you are not a villain."

"That's why I am willing to make friends with you. I know that there are many capable people in this world. With your strength, it is normal for you to be arrogant and unwilling to submit to me. Therefore, today, I am not here to appease you, but to discuss cooperation with you."

Both Li Yan and Di Renjie were taken aback. They didn't expect Wu Zetian to say these words. The majestic king of a country actually lowered his posture and talked with an unknown person on the same level. This all showed Wu Zetian's sincerity.

No king will use his throne and his proudest identity to deceive others, it is unnecessary and never will!

Li Yan nodded, expressing his willingness to cooperate with Wu Zetian, and the three of them talked for the whole afternoon, all around them was Jiuli.

Li Yan told Wu Zetian about the Eight Sects Ghost Domain Formation, and asked her to secretly order to search for the remaining six Sects around the palace, and at the same time reveal the true identity of Tianli Guoshi. Sure enough, after hearing the news, Wu Zetian's first reaction was not to believe it, but under such special circumstances, Li Yan had no reason to lie.

Li Yan also knew that if Wu Zetian didn't see Li Guoshi do it with her own eyes, she would never believe it.

Ever since, Li Yan and Wu Zetian made a plan and decided to implement it tomorrow night, the purpose is to attract Li Guoshi to show up!
Everything was ready, and it was time for Li Yan to go back and prepare. Di Renjie had also heard about Li Yan's lost Jiuli costume. It seemed that it was in the hands of General Cheng Yaojin. Di Renjie had rushed to get it, and it would be delivered to Li Yan's residence tonight. When Li Yan took it away, Wu Zetian suddenly stopped Li Yan.

Li Yan was taken aback for a moment, and Wu Zetian had an unspeakable expression on his face.

"Your Majesty, please speak directly if you have anything to say."

As Li Yan spoke, Wu Zetian gritted his teeth, as if he had made up his mind, raised his eyebrows, and said:

"Li Yan! There is one thing I want to ask of you!"

Li Yan cupped his hands:

"You don't dare to be a grassroots. If there is anything, your Majesty just say it's okay."

Wu Zetian sighed:
"The news that my youngest daughter, Wu Zhouxia, is a member of Jiuli has spread, and now everyone in the capital knows it. I can be ruthless to block the news, but I can't be ruthless to watch Xia'er live in pain all day long."

Li Yan thought of Wu Zhouxia, a lovely and pitiful little girl. The news that she was Jiuli did leak out, and she didn't know who broke it out, but the princess of a country suddenly became the object of people's reviling. Wu Zetian couldn't deal with those people, because what they said was right.

Wu Zetian paused, then continued:
"Nowadays, public anger has been aroused. If I don't execute Xia'er, it will be difficult to convince the people! But how can I do anything to my own flesh and blood?"

Li Yan sighed. Although Wu Zetian was an emperor through the ages, she was still a woman. The maternal instinct to protect children still hindered her judgment.

"Now, I don't want anything extravagantly, as long as Xia'er can live..."

Li Yan gradually sensed something was wrong, and slowly frowned, Wu Zetian suddenly grabbed Li Yan's hand:

"Li Yan, I beg you, take Xia'er away!"

Li Yan's jaw was about to drop in shock, he immediately withdrew his hand, and backed away in a panic:
"Your Majesty, this... must never be done, I am just a grassroots, how dare I elope with a princess of a country!"

Wu Zetian sighed:
"Li Yan, you don't need to show your face, you just need to use the identity of Li Guoshi to rob the execution ground, and I will arrange good people to take care of you!"

"If you really don't want to, then you just need to bring Xia'er out, and I won't lose you! Li Yan, I have not long been enthroned, and internal and external troubles, Jiuli's great rise, I really have no one to use. Now the only one who can entrust this important task is you!"

As she said that, Wu Zetian secretly wiped away her tears, but Li Yan's jaw dropped in shock!
Li Yan hesitated in his heart...

In fact, he also felt sorry for that little girl Wu Zhouxia, but with her, he would never be able to stay in the capital, and it would bring him a lot of trouble!
It's fine if I'm alone, but there's another Chu Siyi who needs to be taken care of by Li Yan. Although it's ancient times, the fine traditional virtues of monogamy are deeply rooted in Li Yan's mind. Apart from Chu Siyi, Li Yan's heart will no longer accept other women!

if……

Just to save Wu Zhouxia...

Li Yan experienced a fierce ideological struggle, and finally made up his mind, nodded, agreed to Wu Zetian, and rescued Wu Zhouxia. It was only about her future stay and destination, and Li Yan could do nothing.

Despite this, Wu Zetian was still very happy, holding Li Yan's hand, thanking Li Yan, then carelessly picked up the skirt, and ran towards the door, without the slightest demeanor of an empress.

Even Jing Wen next to her was stunned. It was the first time she had seen Wu Zetian lose his composure in more than 20 years.

Li Yan smiled helplessly, and then left the bedroom.

That night, Li Yan did not go to the palace, and the matter had almost come to light. Wu Zetian also sent people to look for the six gates that had been arranged. Without the seventh and eighth gates, Jiuli could not make any waves.

Although Li Guoshi narrowly escaped death, he was also injured. At least he will not act again tonight. Tonight, Li Yan has no reason to go, so he can sleep well.

In the evening, Di Renjie ordered someone to deliver Li Yan's Jiuli clothes. As soon as Chu Siyi received the clothes, Li Yan came back on his hind legs, and Chu Siyi rushed forward happily.

The two just hugged each other in the yard like no one else, although there was no one around.

That night, Li Yan cooked the kitchen himself, cooked a table of sumptuous meals, made Xiao Zhu fat and had a belly.

That night, Li Yan told Xiao Zhu not to pack up, go to bed early, and gave him a one-night vacation, because that night, Li Yan would fight Chu Siyi for [-] rounds.

Chu Siyi's moaning never stopped from midnight to early morning, if it wasn't for Chu Siyi's safety day, Li Yan wouldn't have dared to do that.

The next day, Chu Siyi slept happily on the bed, and Li Yan didn't get up until almost noon. After washing up, Li Yan went out for a stroll in the street. He was not in a hurry tonight, and Li Yan still had time to inquire about information.

Jiuli's minions have been arrested a lot, but the main core backbone is not much less.

Jiuli has nine chiefs, although not all of them are in the capital, but Jiuli has such a big move, and Li Guoshi, an important force, has been injured, if he is Jiuli, he will definitely send other leaders to take over.

Li Yan only needs to pay attention to whether there are any unusual movements of acquaintances and the arrival of new faces.
