Early the next morning, Li Zhi entered the palace again and saw Gaozong in the upper study.

Gaozong no longer seems to care about the opening of the tea house, but the "Book of Tea" on the desk has already been preserved on the paper he has read.

Historically, he will fall in the Zhenguan Hall of Luoyang City in the next month, and he has now ordered the crown prince Li Xian to act as the governor of the state.

Gaozong failed to return to Chang'an City until he died, and on the day of his death, he left this sentence in Zetianmen Tower (then Tianmen Tower is Yingtianmen, which was changed to Yingtianmen in order to avoid taboos in the future, which is an overhead text, and there is no need to be so rigorous) left this sentence: If the gods of heaven and earth prolong my life for a month or two, I can return to Chang'an, and I will have no regrets about dying.

Li had tested his meaning a few days earlier, but Gaozong did not clearly reveal his intention to return to Chang'an City.

"The Queen Mother and I made it clear that we don't plan to discuss politics in the court, and everything will maintain the status quo, so she appeared in the tea house together yesterday."

This is the first sentence that Gaozong said to Li Zhi, and it is this brief few words, which already contain too many hidden meanings.

Li Zhi smiled and did not respond, because he knew in his heart that Empress Wu had already made all the preparations for the imperial system, and Gaozong's arrival in the dynasty would only have a violent conflict with the arrangement of Empress Wu, which would not be conducive to the next move.

"Someone wants to do you badly, be careful on the way back!"

This is the second sentence that Gaozong said after quietly tasting the tea brewed by Li Zhi.

Li Zhi expressed his attitude at this time, "I know what the reason is, it seems that Empress Wu finally turned the change in the Holy Lord to me." ”

Gaozong nodded, "As far as I know, she did it temporarily, and she went to see someone outside the city yesterday evening." ”

"This is a good thing, don't let her vent her depression in her heart, maybe she has another plan."

"To be exact, it was not her intention to be unfavorable to you, but the private behavior of the people around her, but our Queen Mother obviously acquiesced!"

Li Zhi didn't ask how Gaozong learned all this, "It seems that the Yishou Pill is still working, the Queen Mother doesn't want to be the mastermind, but she can guide it, and the extension of the life limit still defeats the resentment in my heart." ”

"Are you sure you can handle it?"

Seeing Li Zhihan smiling, he continued, "Then let her heart be depressed for more time!" ”

Li Zhi returned from the palace, and Taiping had already sent the three baggage carts promised earlier to park outside the courtyard of Wenqitang Garden.

Although the interior of the car has not been changed significantly, it has also prepared bedding such as cashmere blankets in advance.

The group set off after lunch at the Gongdelin Restaurant, and Feng Xing and Xing Datou stayed here temporarily, taking away Yiqiao and Yiqing's two daughters.

Aimar, the envoy of the Tang Dynasty in Luoyang, personally led a group of people, and sent them out of the city gate with some Tang officials.

After going out of the city for more than ten miles, taking a break on the side of the road, Li Zhi summoned people to come and arrange them carefully.

The sky is dark, passing through a pass, turning the pass is the first small county town to stay tonight.

There were frightened birds spreading their wings and flying in all directions, and more than a dozen figures appeared on the side of the road and the dense forest.

Li Zhi exclaimed, "These people have been lurking for a long time, and we have no way of finding out, obviously there is a ban to cover up!" Ah Ming, don't come here, it's me who they're going to kill, you and the Jiyuan Dao Elder Guardian Lady continue to move forward! ”

He pointed his finger at Fu Chen and left him, "Please join me in the battle!" ”

Both of them were two people who couldn't detect their cultivation, and their bodies were full of the aura of the peak realm of the third-level masters, each with a blade in his hand, and he was already facing several people who rushed towards him.

Li Zhi blocked several people flying towards the convoy and roared away Bei Manshan and others who came to support on horseback.

The convoy gradually moved away, and thirty light cavalry were at the end, and in the dust raised, there was also a scream from a baggage cart behind Yiqiao, Yiqing, who was crazy.

All the people who came were masked in black scarves, and the realm of masters at all levels was already a few feet away from Li Zhi's words.

There was a clanging sound, forcing away a few people from the inside, and Fu Chen said quickly: "Mr. Li, be careful, there are five Great Perfections among the enemies, and someone in front of you is the person next to the prince that night!" ”

Before Li Zhi could answer, the hissing sound of the palm wind or the edge of the edge exploded intensively.

He had already shown his bloody intent, and he retreated more than a dozen feet away, and the burst of energy seemed to surge from the sky around him.

Li Zhi, who was slightly embarrassed and retreated sharply with his back, his face was soaked with a thin layer of frost, his eyes burst out with sharp and ruthless, and he waved his hands and stared at one person fiercely: "It's you!" The man next to the prince! ”

In the black scarf masked at the peak of the third level, he spit out a strange smile: "It is said that the Fuchen kid has a dog nose, and Mr. Li is not bad, he can recognize me so quickly!" ”

He said it in his mouth, but it didn't affect the movements of his subordinates, and the huge momentum containing the murderous intent followed him like a shadow, and he didn't leave Li Zhi's body for a moment.

He was also followed by a third-level peak, and he frequently used secret hands between the advance and retreat of this person's figure, and all the scars on Li Zhi's body were due to him.

The two of them were accompanied by two third-level masters, and they bubbled towards Li Zhi with an unbearable power.

The cold mangs are as fine as the chirping of winter birds, Li Zhi's dragon slashing the green and dark streamer poured out of the lifeless, and the Dao Ruicai after the extreme sharpness oscillated out the illusory blue rainbow, breaking through the sky and rising and humming continuously.

Tuan Xuan's cyan energy rotated around the blade, and the blue light flashed with the sound of Jin Ge's iron armor, and in an instant, it was able to hit several deadly edges.

In just a few dozen breaths, there were several more scars on his body.

Under the anger, Li Zhi shouted, Ling Xuan stepped on seven steps wildly, one advance and one retreat highlighted the subtlety, and the figure disappeared in the huge waves, occasionally making a knife, and there was a gradual counterattack.

"Bang!"

But when he suddenly broke the eight swords and opened and closed, coherently slashing with a fast knife, and cutting off the arm of a third-level master, the third-level peak who was smiling strangely had already slapped his palm on his chest and flew out far away.

Not far away, Fuchen was also besieged by ten people, of which there were as many as five at the peak of the third level, although it was not dangerous, it was also attacked by many and was tired of protection.

Shocked to see that Li Zhi was shot away, he hurriedly shouted: "Mr. Li, back to the woods!" ”

The place where Li Zhi's body fell, not far from the place where the interceptor had been hiding, heard the reminder from him, turned over and fell into the air, twisted his body, and turned back and ran towards the woods.

There were three people left behind him, and no one paid attention to the third-level master who was missing an arm and was rolling on the ground.

In an instant, the pursuit has arrived, and the fierce wind is extremely domineering, and it pounces forward unscrupulously, sweeping up dead leaves and broken branches all over the sky.

When Li Zhi flew down in the air, he happened to be behind a thick tree hugging a tree, and several feet of bark were instantly swept away by the attacking air waves.

One of his arms, which he hadn't had time to hide in, also became smooth and slippery at that moment, revealing a white section, and the blood on it was as dense as a scratch.

Fu Chen roared like a desperate fight, and took the life of a second-level master with all his might.

Rushing out of the gap that was deleted in an instant, the wind generally blew towards the place where Li Zhi was.

"Stop him!"

Facing one of the third-level peaks, he shouted loudly, but the moment he was distracted, he left a wound on his body.

But there were already two third-level peaks rushing towards Fu Chen, and another second-level master took out a short crossbow between his backhands, and shot the three-character short arrow at Fu Chen's back heart in a moment.

Hearing the sound of the string crashing behind him, Fu Chen galloped and swung his sword behind him, snapping to block the incoming arrow.

It's just that the figure is slightly sluggish, and the two third-level peaks have already arrived, Fu Chen turned around to meet the enemy, and after a few rounds, he was surrounded by five more people.

"Bang! Bang! ”

On the other side, he also slapped two palms with a third-level peak, and his body took advantage of the momentum to fly back, and he turned in the air and walked in the direction of the woods.

How could someone have already guarded against his move, and in the blink of an eye, two people stood in front of him.

Obviously, these people planned first, and they took turns to attack, gradually forcing them and Fu Chen farther away from Li Zhi.

Although both of them tried their best to kill and injure two people, the price they brought was also their own injuries.

Li Zhi was even more in crisis at the moment, and the peak strength of the third level he had promoted to could barely resist the two people in the same realm, but he couldn't stop the other two who frequently rushed cold arrows on the side.

Fortunately, in the rapid retreat, there were trees from time to time to block most of the fatal incoming forces for him.

Even so, in half a cup of tea, there were dozens of more wounds on his body, one of which was deep to the bone and appeared under his left rib.

A touch of murderous intent in Li Zhi's eyes swept towards a person in the struggle to deal with it, this person could not sneak attack repeatedly, but his mouth was always unclean and provocative, intending to confuse his mind.

The moment when the eyes were in retreat, they found the moment when the two trees staggered by, and instantly burst out, ignoring the power oppression of the third-level peak, and suddenly slanted into the gap between the two trees.

A very abrupt hand stretched out, and at the moment when the side attack was blocked by the previous tree that flashed, it suddenly soared by three inches, and a fierce palm wind spewed out at the same time, slapping on the right half of the person's body.

The man screamed and fell backwards, half of his body blurred with flesh and blood.

However, a palm and a sword that had been facing him head-on also came, and the palm wind slapped him away again, and a sword wound slid from his left shoulder to his waist.

Fortunately, his body was stopped by a giant tree behind him, and he pounced to the right side of the tree.

Where he tumbled, there was a steep slope that caused him to tumble and fall towards a shallow river at the bottom of a lake.

The three people who chased after him were just stunned, and they flew down, and Li Zhi stood up very embarrassed by the unloading force of the river, rushed two steps forward in the waist-deep river, and jumped into the headless grass on the other side of the shallow river.

The three pursuers also followed closely, and in a blink of an eye they chased into the barren grass, Li Zhi fought and retreated, and was far away from the river in a short time.

It turned out that on the official road, Fu Chen and Liqi were also surrounded and suppressed and disappeared in two places, leaving three seriously injured figures on the side of the road.

In the wind and grass, Li Zhi suddenly stopped, and the momentum of his body was also violent in an instant, and when he turned into an invisible force and expanded, his body had already floated towards a person like a ghost.

In the drastic change in the faces of all the people who came, like a cold dragon slash of steel, the heavy aura of Sen Ran before had turned into an invisible halo, sharp like a cloud, and silently cut off the person's head.

He looked at the power behind him as if it were nothing, and calmly turned around to face it, just with a wave of his hand, the future momentum disappeared, and his mouth was already coldly spitting: "Let you be wanton, how do you feel at this time?" Isn't it a surprise? ”

"How... How can it be so strong? You... You are the Grandmaster Realm! The man who saw him that night stammered in horror.

"What's your name, oh yes, Jos! It was a great voyeur that night, right? Did I think I played a scene with the prince? ”

What Li Zhi said made Qiao Si's face suddenly turn gray, and he trembled all over, trembling like chaff.

No wonder he was so afraid, hearing this already showed that Li Zhi did not have the heart to spare him, and in the face of the powerful coercion of the Grandmaster Realm, he didn't need to verify anything.

"The Queen Mother should be very satisfied with your report, she should be relieved, right? But I want to hear who ordered you to come and intercept you, and who of you two said? I can give it a good time! ”

His voice was about to fall, and another third-level pinnacle who was slightly behind him, his right shoulder suddenly shrugged, and Qiao Si instantly rushed towards Li Zhi.

He turned around and fled, but he suddenly felt that his neck tightened, and Li Zhi didn't know when he appeared beside him, and connected his fingers with two fingers, imprisoning this person's breath and throwing it aside.

Joss had a timid look on his face begging for mercy, and his whole body was full of trepidation, as if the end of the earth was coming.

"Okay, you don't have to say it!"

Without a hint, Li Zhi once again shot out like lightning, concocted it aside according to the law, and walked towards the other person, his right hand was curved like a hook, covering the top of the person's head.
