Chapter 156
The middle-aged scholar was none other than Li Mingshan, the first counselor of the Zhenbei Palace.
Wang Xuan had never expected that he would appear in Jiangling Prefecture, Jingzhou, thousands of miles away, at this time, and appeared in front of him with a group of soldiers.
Li Mingshan raised his lips: "Xuan'er, long time no see!"
This time, Liu Dezhu was completely desperate.
"I didn't expect it! It turns out that you are in the same group. I thought I had won, but it was just a dream. Hahaha! Ridiculous! Ridiculous!"
He threw off the crown on his head, his hair was disheveled, and he looked like a madman.
He seemed to be unable to bear the failure and went crazy.
"Uncle Mingshan, let me deal with this man, okay!" Wang Xuan asked.
Li Mingshan nodded.
The overall situation has been decided, and Liu Dezhu is no longer useful.
A faint light flashed.
Liu Dezhu's face froze, and a foot-long wound appeared on his throat, and blood splattered all over the ground.
His eyes were full of astonishment.
Why did he do it?
Shouldn't he be detained first and then sent to Luodu for interrogation?
At that time, the forces behind him would take action, and there would still be a glimmer of hope.
But with Wang Xuan's knife, all this became a bubble.
Wang Xuan didn't know when a piece of rag appeared in his hand, and began to wipe the blood on the knife.
......
Luodu, the palace.
Xiu'er opened her eyes suddenly, her face was furious.
"Damn it! Why is Wang Xuan so difficult! Just a little bit, just a little bit of success!"
At this time, the palace nanny came in with a basin.
"Dead bitch, you dare to be lazy here? Hurry up, wash this basin of clothes! You are not allowed to eat until you finish washing!"
Xiu'er glared at her fiercely.
Damn bug, don't know whether to live or die!
"Hey! How dare you glare at me like this? No rules, it seems I have to teach you a lesson!"
The nanny raised her hand and was about to slap Xiu'er.
"How dare you! You dare to fight back?"
"What are you doing? Don't... Stop it... I don't dare... Ah!"
After a scream, there was no sound.
Fengming Palace.
It was past midnight, but the lights were still on in the palace.
Empress Li Chenghuan was still reviewing memorials.
Almost a month after Wang Xuan left, she reviewed memorials until late every day.
The war in the north was tense, and she needed to make decisions every day.
However, the most troublesome thing was that the court was dissatisfied with the Zhenbei Palace. Almost two-thirds of the memorials were about Wang Xiang, saying that he was holding the enemy hostage and deliberately deadlocked, and asked her to issue a golden medal to summon him back to Luodu.
When Li Chenghuan saw such a memorial, she drew a cross on it and threw it aside.
"Wang Xiang, Wang Xiang! How long will you last? I can't hold on any longer." Li Chenghuan sighed.
"I wonder how Wang Xuan is doing? It should be going well!"
Just then, a shadow came in.
Li Chenghuan looked and saw that it was Xiu'er.
"Why are you here?" Li Chenghuan said coldly.
"This is different from what we agreed at the beginning!" Xiu'er looked grim: "You agreed to give Wang Xuan to me!"
Li Chenghuan's mouth pulled out a graceful arc, it seems that Wang Xuan is going well.
"I said at the beginning that I would send him to Jingzhou, but whether it will succeed in the end depends on you."
"You!" Xiu'er was speechless.
He had no words to say.
It was indeed agreed at the beginning that the empress would let Wang Xuan go to Jingzhou, and then he would take action.
The empress would not interfere.
But he never thought that he would fail in the end, and he also lost the territory of Jingzhou that he had been operating for many years.
"Okay, okay! If that's the case, aren't you afraid that I will turn against you and join forces with that person?"
Li Chenghuan lowered his eyes and smiled, "You won't."
"I will at most trick you, but that person--"
"I will really eat you!"
......
Jiangling Mansion's Courtyard.
Wang Xuan and Li Mingshan sat opposite each other in the pavilion, sipping tea.
"I didn't expect that you have grown up so much. It has been five years since we last met!" Li Mingshan sighed.
Wang Xuan nodded: "Yes, it has been five years. It happened to be November in late autumn. The leaves in the palace had just turned yellow, and you, uncle, returned to the north."
"You have worked hard over the years..." Li Mingshan comforted.
Wang Xuan was silent.
The original body was indeed very hard. When he was still young, he went to Luodu alone as a hostage.
For so many years, his father could not come to visit.
Should I say hatred?
The original body actually had some.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have fed Wang Xiang the poison later.
In addition to the reasons of love-brain and screenwriter's stupidity, there must be a little resentment in it.
A feeling of sadness surged in my heart.It should be a physical reaction.
Wang Xuan frowned, not used to this feeling.
So he changed the subject and said, "Uncle Mingshan, you haven't told me why you are here?"
"I came here because of your plan with the emperor. You met Leng Yue before, so you should know the relationship between our Zhenbei Palace and the emperor!" Li Mingshan said.
Wang Xuan pondered for a while and said, "So we are actually in the same group with the empress? Then why did she target me before, and even later..."
He was stunned, and suddenly thought that the plot later seemed to have not happened yet.
In other words, the empress has not done anything to let them down.
On the contrary, she seems to be quite... good to him all the time?
No wonder I wrote to Wang Xiang before, asking him to pay attention to the empress, but the other party didn't care.
"So who is the person that Leng Yue said we should deal with together?"
Li Mingshan said lightly, "That person has become a celestial being and has achieved the fruit position, so his name cannot be revealed, and the other party will sense it."
Celestial being realm?
Wang Xuan was speechless.
"Does the Heaven Realm still exist now?"
Li Mingshan nodded: "Yes, there have always been. Heavenly people will not die, they have always existed."
"Then why haven't you heard them take action?"
"Although they are alive, they are just as good as dead."
Wang Xuan was stunned.
What he said was the same as if he hadn't said anything!
Li Mingshan smiled bitterly: "I don't know much about the secrets here. You can ask the prince in person when the time comes!"
Forget it, I have to go there in person.
"I originally wanted to help you take over the entire Jingzhou, but I didn't expect that you would turn a disaster into a blessing and actually arouse the power of the Heavenly Dao. Now Jingzhou is your territory." Li Mingshan smiled.
"There is nothing for me to do here. I have to hurry back to the North."
"For the next thing, you can find Leng Yue. She will arrange everything. I will wait for you in the North."
Wang Xuan was a little reluctant.
"Won't you stay a little longer?"
Li Mingshan shook his head: "The northern front is in a state of shock. That Erile is not simple. The prince is waiting for me to go back and help. Otherwise, if the northern border is broken, everything will be over."
Wang Xuan nodded and could only let him go.
After sending Li Mingshan away, Wang Xuan found Leng Yue.
Seeing the various modern instruments in the house, Wang Xuan was stunned.
"Where did you find these things?"
