Your Majesty, please draw the card

There is a man lying in the backyard.Wang Zhen's heart skipped a beat, and when he pushed aside the servant, he realized that the one lying there was not Lord Longyang.

"Xiaozhen, I'm fine." Longyang Jun leaned on a cane, walked slowly, glanced at the corpse and said, "The man came for me, and he died for me."

Long Yangjun frowned deeply.He arranged four guards around him, the most vigilant one died, and the other two chased him out.But it seems that people's skills are unlikely to catch up.

Wang Zhen: "Who is it?"

Long Yangjun shook his head: "I don't know."

Wang Zhen said again: "Doctor Sun next door seems to have been attacked as well, and happened to be bumped into by someone from the mansion, and he was rescued."

"Oh?" Jun Longyang was startled, and then his face changed, "Not good! Go and inform Li Bai, I'm afraid something serious will happen!"

Wang Zhen hesitated: "You here..."

Long Yangjun waved his hand: "The opponent missed a hit, so I don't dare to come again for the time being."

Wang Zhen nodded and decided to find Li Bai in person.Although he didn't know what the "big event" Longyang Jun was talking about, he had absolute trust in Longyang Jun, so what he had to do now was to spread the news as soon as possible.He was worried about sending someone else to go, and Li Bai might not believe it. It was the safest way for him to go alone.

Wang Zhen rushed to Taibai residence in a hurry, but Li Bai was also in a hurry here.Yan Qi, the deputy commander of Jiahewei, disappeared and was nowhere to be found.Li Bai ordered people to check Yan Qi's previous whereabouts, while reading through the documents and reports left by Yan Qi.Hearing Wang Zhen's visit, he was a little puzzled at first, and then his face changed drastically when he heard what Wang Zhen said.

"It's him! He has actually arrived in Chang'an!"

"Commander Li knows the criminal's clue?"

"This matter is related to the emperor, and I can't tell Mr. Wang easily. Please rest assured, Mr. Wang. I will definitely catch the prisoner and avenge the righteous servants of your mansion. I will ask Mr. Wang to bring a team of Jiahe Guards back later to protect Lord Longyang and Dr. Sun are safe. I will go to the palace to face the saint, I believe the emperor will make arrangements."

Since it was about the emperor, Wang Zhen couldn't ask more questions.Li Bai is willing to send out a team to protect Lord Longyang, which is already a good thing for him.He didn't dare to delay Li Bai's entry into the palace, and immediately led Jiahewei's master back home.

On the other hand, Li Bai notified Gao Lishi through a special channel, and soon met Liu Xi in Weiyang Palace.

"What did you say? Yan Qi is missing?" Liu Xi was taken aback.Even if Yan Qi's ability is not as good as those real masters, but his ability to hide himself is not trivial. He went deep into the enemy's camp many times and retreated unscathed. Ordinary people can't hold him.

"Yan Qi disappeared, and Sun Simiao and Lord Longyang were attacked. I suspect it was done by the same group of people. Doesn't the Emperor feel familiar with the feeling of Dr. Sun when he fainted?"

"You mean... broken jade beads?! Xue Huairen did it? Xue Huairen actually arrived in Chang'an!" Liu Xi was surprised and angry.Broken Jade Beads are the nemesis of all card characters, if the opponent really has a lot of Broken Jade Beads, then it is very possible to capture Yan Qi.

Liu Xi asked: "Sun Simiao and Lord Longyang were attacked this evening, why did Yan Qi disappear?"

Li Bai said: "It's about the same time. The cases Yan Qi is dealing with recently seem to have nothing to do with his disappearance. I checked for a long time, and I only know that he goes to the small stall at the end of the alley to buy two tea eggs every evening. That's when people disappeared."

"Tea eggs?"

"I asked him once, and Yan Qi said that it was the emperor's order that he should eat at least two eggs every day."

Liu Xi was taken aback, thinking that he seemed to have really said this. At the beginning, he wanted Yan Qi to be a little taller, but he didn't expect Yan Qi to stick to it until now.

"The person who sells tea eggs has seen who did it?"

"Yan Qi's body skills are like ghosts, they always appear out of nowhere, buy tea eggs and leave. The old man who sells tea eggs has actually been wondering whether some mountain spirits and wild monsters come to buy his tea eggs every day, so he didn't dare to buy more. look."

That thread stops here.Liu Xi was a little dumbfounded.The attack location chosen by the other party is extremely hidden, and it is estimated that there is no one around the tea egg stand.

"Arrange people to protect all the characters on the god card first. As for Yan Qi, we must start with Xue Huairen to find him. To search Chang'an City, even if we dig three feet of ground, I will dig out the traitor Xue Huairen!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Li Bai thought for a while, "But will sending someone to protect him expose the character on the god card instead?"

"Then send people to protect all the officials in Chang'an City, and say that Hun assassins sneaked into Chang'an with the intention of revenge. By the way, check to see if anyone is in collusion with Xue Huairen. Xue Huairen lives outside the pass all year round. No matter how you say it, it is impossible to treat the people in Chang'an city. If you know everything well, there must be someone who is in cahoots with him."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

This time Li Bai didn't hesitate, and immediately rushed back to deploy manpower.

Liu Xi summoned Zhou Yu, Bao Zheng and Lu Su to discuss matters.To search Chang'an City, it is not enough to have Jiahewei under the banner of the emperor.Chang'an is so big, it is not easy to find a person, not to mention there are so many places that cannot be searched carefully!The result of the discussion was for Dali Temple to come forward to coordinate the search for criminals, temporarily close the city gates, and check all places with a large number of foreign populations.Lu Su came up with a good idea. Since the excuse is that the Huns came to retaliate, they can publicize Xue Huairen's bad deeds, increase the reward again, and let the people of Chang'an City help find him.

Liu Xi agreed to Lu Su's suggestion. Seeing that Zhou Yu remained silent, he couldn't help asking, "What's Gong Jin's opinion?"

Zhou Yu pondered for a while and said, "Has the emperor ever thought that Xue Huairen's attack at this time will target Yan Qi, Lord Longyang, and Sun Simiao who are not at the core of power. Why?"

Liu Xi frowned and thought for a while, then shook his head: "I don't understand either, could it be that he wants to give me a blow and use it to hit me?"

Zhou Yu said again: "If I were Xue Huairen, and I had a lot of broken jade beads in my hands, and I wanted to harm the emperor, let's say it was to avenge the Xiongnu's revenge, then I would definitely make a decision and act rashly. It will only expose my whereabouts. If any one of these three people has an accident, it will not affect the structure of the court, why should I take the risk of attacking them?"

"This……"

"There is one more thing that I can't understand. Xue Huairen is extremely utilitarian in his work, and he can disregard his own safety for the sake of profit. He was like this when he joined Jiahewei as a spy, and he was like this when he joined the Xiongnu Shanyu to murder his compatriots. There must be a purpose for sneaking into Chang'an on an adventure. As long as you know his purpose, it will be much easier to catch him."

It's a pity that everyone discussed for a long time but couldn't think of Xue Huairen's motive.Liu Xi had no choice but to order them to act according to the plan, and asked them to pay attention to safety.

After Zhou Yu and others left, Liu Xi sat there alone, not knowing what he was thinking.Zhao Yun knew that he was upset, so he walked over and gently held his hand.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, Yan Qi is a vigilant person. Since the other party didn't attack him immediately, but just kidnapped him, he must still be alive now."

Liu Xi couldn't help sighing when he thought of the young man he treated as his younger brother.Yan Qi is alert, but he is also stubborn, it is impossible to expect him to deal with the snake and Xue Huairen.The most likely thing to happen is that Yan Qi committed the crime if he refused to die, and was killed by Xue Huairen in a fit of anger.

Zhao Yun checked that the time was almost up, and asked in a gentle voice, "Does the Emperor want to draw a magic card?"

Liu Xi sighed and said, "Alright, let's see how lucky I am today."

At this moment, a secret place in the city.

Only one candle was lit in the empty big room, so it looked extraordinarily dark.The one standing in the middle of the big room is the emperor's own grandmother, Mr. Pingyuan.The several people who followed Mr. Pingyuan were envoys sent by vassal lords from various places, and the person who was talking to her was Juchen Wang, Minister of the Ministry of Rites.It seems strange that this combination appears here, but what Wang Juchen is saying is even more strange and unpredictable——

"The veteran dare not lie to Mr. Pingyuan, everything the veteran said just now is the truth."

The expression on Mr. Pingyuan's face changed with surprise and uncertainty: "Dear family, this matter is no small matter. You say that my grandson was bewitched by a demon, do you have evidence?"

"Of course there is evidence." Wang Juchen looked confident, "The emperor's trust in these monsters is the best evidence. Someone secretly dug up the cemeteries of some 'martyrs' who died in the Huns, and found that the corpses had turned into One jade bead. There are as many as 21 jade beads found, how can ordinary people turn corpses into beads? Those monsters have penetrated into the whole world, and they want to plot big things, we have to guard against it!"

Mr. Pingyuan's lips trembled: "How did this person turn into a pearl?"

Wang Juchen said again: "At the beginning, in the Huns' army camp, a monster was also caught. The monster couldn't survive the interrogation, so he bit his tongue and killed himself. Afterwards, the Huns wanted to expose the corpse for seven days as a warning to others, but on the seventh day, the corpse suddenly became inexplicable. The land disappeared. The Huns thought that someone stole the corpse, but they didn’t know that a soldier of the Huns picked up a jade bead where the corpse was hung. Later, this jade bead was obtained by someone with a heart, and it was only then that they found out about the demon.”

Mr. Pingyuan shuddered and said, "I didn't expect there to be so many monsters in the court of Dayan. You said that even my poor grandson is surrounded by monsters?"

Wang Juchen took out a few pieces of paper from his sleeve and handed them over: "This is the list of monsters compiled by the old minister. There are probably problems with the people in it. These people are lurking around the emperor, and they will be replaced one day!"

Mr. Pingyuan glanced at the list, the first one on the list was Zhao Yun.She was horrified in her heart, and lost her voice: "How could Zhao Yun be a monster? He is a character on the divine card!"

Wang Juchen wondered: "What magic card? That Zhao Zilong who charmed the emperor is the leader of the monsters. Although he has made a small contribution to Dayan, it is all for their future conspiracy. Lord Pingyuan must not trust him."

"My in-laws don't know about it. I also heard about it from the Empress Dowager in the palace. It is said that the day Xi'er succeeded to the throne..."

Mr. Pingyuan talked about how Liu Xi uncovered Zhao Yun on the first day of his succession, and how she and the Empress Dowager watched Zhao Yun.At the end, he added: "The god card is a rare treasure left by the ancestor emperor. Xi'er is blessed by the heavens, so she can use the god card! From this point of view, these people are not monsters but gods!"

Wang Juchen pondered for a moment and said: "It's true that the divine card is the national treasure of Dayan, but the old minister thinks that this thing has been replaced by the monster now. You think, Mr. Pingyuan, how wise and powerful the ancestor emperor is, he only opened one divine card in his life. Cards. No matter how good the emperor is, how is he better than the emperor Zu? It is absolutely impossible to get the blessing of so many divine cards."

When Mr. Pingyuan heard it, he felt very reasonable.Besides, it is a fact that the emperor's relatives choose relatives.She thought that the emperor would alienate her because of these monsters around her, and she couldn't help but feel angry. She also remembered the jealousy towards Zhao Yun because of the lack of a queen, and she really wanted to kill these personalities immediately.

"Then Zhao Yun pestered Xi'er day and night, and I don't know how much he has been hurt. If such a monster doesn't cut him into pieces, it will be hard to get rid of the hatred in my heart!"

Wang Juchen saw that Lord Pingyuan was moved by the words, and he also got the information of the divine card by accident. He couldn't help but secretly proud of himself, and immediately smiled and said: "Mr. Pingyuan, don't be impatient. Now that we know about the monsters bewitching the country, they can't be more proud." God. The most important thing right now is to find a way to stop them from influencing the emperor. However, the old minister is worried that the emperor will be obsessed with being deceived for so many years, and then he will have to use some thunderous means. If it doesn't work, he can only force the emperor to keep the dragon descendant. Plain The king and the emperor's ancestors and grandchildren are connected, and this old minister has no other choice, but I hope that Lord Pingyuan can put the state affairs first and help the old minister get rid of the demons!"

Mr. Pingyuan thought about it, and although he felt a little distressed about giving up his grandson, he couldn't ruin the glory that the Cao family could easily get because of this, so he nodded and said, "I won't just stand by and watch this matter. It's just...but the monsters are all copper-headed and iron-armed." Those who do not invade, can we really eliminate the demons?"

Wang Juchen said with a smile: "I knew Mr. Pingyuan would ask this question, so I specially prepared a surprise for everyone. Come here, bring it here!"

As soon as the voice fell, I saw two people escorting a young man forward.The young man had a handsome face, his eyebrows raised when he saw Wang Juchen and Mr. Yuan, and he scolded them for being nice people who want to be with traitors and dogs.

Mr. Pingyuan was pampered and respected, and she hadn't been insulted face to face like this for many years. Although the detainee slapped the boy severely after he finished cursing, and stuffed a rag into her mouth, she was still very angry.

"Who is this?"

"This is Yan Qi, the vice-commander of Jiahewei, who is one of the monsters. Lord Pingyuan, don't worry, the old minister immediately told him not to swear anymore."

Wang Juchen coughed lightly, and a masked Taoist priest walked in immediately.The Taoist priest held a transparent dagger in his hand, and just lightly stroked Yan Qi's shoulder, Yan Qi's whole body trembled, and after a while, his whole body turned into a brilliance and disappeared.

Mr. Pingyuan was puzzled: "Where did this monster go?"

The masked Taoist said: "Any monster who touches my dagger will surely die."

Mr. Pingyuan was surprised: "The Taoist priest has such a high level of Taoism, I don't know how to call it?"

Wang Juchen smiled and said: "Actually, this Daoist Lord Pingyuan should have heard of it. He is the famous Xue Huairen."

"Xue Huairen?! Isn't he...?"

"That's the way the monster framed him. Daoist Xue was framed as a traitor to the country because he saw through the trick of the monster and wanted to wake up the emperor. Demon, if he hadn't refined the demon dagger, we would have no way to deal with the demon!"

"So, so that's the way, the Taoist priest's kind deeds moved the heavens and the earth, this time I have to trouble the Taoist priest." When Mr. Pingyuan heard that only Xue Huairen could eradicate rape and demons, he looked at him like he was looking at a living Bodhisattva.

"Dear family, how are we going to eradicate the demon?"

"This only needs..."
