Thousands of years ago, the life and death of Emperor Li Qing is still a mystery to this day. At that time, the Tang Dynasty was powerful all over the world, wherever the Tang Dynasty banner went, the Emperor Li Qing ruled for 60 years and died at the age of 96. But what shocked the courtiers and vassal states the most was that the emperor's appearance seemed to have not changed much since he ascended the throne, and even in the last year of his reign, the ninety-six-year-old emperor still looked only thirty years old.

Birth, old age, sickness and death, the normal state of people, but the traces of the years, but it seems that there is no precipitation left on the emperor's body, before the emperor ascended the throne, he was already a martial arts master, and he ruled for sixty years, and no one has ever seen the emperor make a move, and no one knows how far the emperor finally came.

And the most strange thing is that in the last month, it seems that the emperor has been preparing something, as if he can accurately predict that he is about to leave this world.

And all the files on the night of the emperor's death have disappeared without a trace, and the guards accompanying the emperor, the palace maids, also disappeared mysteriously after that night.

There were no records to check, no insiders to ask, only the abnormal celestial phenomena of that night were passed on by word of mouth. More than 1,000 years later, these legends have changed beyond recognition. It's unbelievable.

More than 100 years ago, the Cao family usurped the throne, Chang'an changed drastically, and more top-secret archives either disappeared without a trace or were destroyed in the war in that bloody pestle, making many things even more confusing. After the Cao family succeeded in ascending to the throne, they have been searching for the secrets of that night for hundreds of years, but they have never found anything.

But unlike the world, they still control Chang'an after all, and they still hold a lot of archives in their hands, although they are incomplete, but they can get some clues from them. And the most valuable of them are some notes left by the emperor's eldest son.

According to these notes, it is inferred that the emperor should not have died back then, but went to another place, and this place was called another time and space by the emperor's eldest son.

But this inference was too shocking, so that the Cao family, who successfully seized the throne that year, has always been uneasy and skeptical. If the emperor really didn't die, it would be a catastrophe for the Cao family who seized the throne. For hundreds of years, the Cao family has been tirelessly chasing and killing the Li family's children, in addition to the thousand-year-old legend, more also to recover this secret from the Li family's children who fled back then. Hundreds of years have passed, and although it has faded now, there are still very few people who have doubts about it. Cao Chong is one of them.

Cao Chong, Cao's martial arts wizard, entered the ranks of martial arts masters before he was forty years old, he should have inherited the throne of Great Qi, but he was obsessed with martial arts, he thought he was not a good emperor, and his mind was not at all above governing the country, what he wanted to pursue was the road that Emperor Li Qing had walked.

Above the grandmaster, what is it exactly?

In recent years, Cao Chong has felt that he has stood on the pinnacle of the martial arts master, no matter how hard he tries, he has not advanced by half an inch, but according to the many remnants left by the Tang Palace back then, he clearly knows that the ability of the emperor back then is far above himself. Above the grandmaster, there must be another way out.

The confused Cao Chong quietly made a big move a few years ago and infiltrated the mausoleum of Emperor Li Qing alone. Even after Cao's successful ascension, the mausoleum of Emperor Li Qing is still the most sacred place in this world, no one dares to disrespect him, Cao Chong quietly broke into the tomb, but in the tomb of the emperor, he found nothing.

In the golden coffin, it was empty, and there were no bones of the emperor.

This made Cao Chong even more convinced that after breaking through the shackles of the martial arts master, the emperor must have reached a new realm, and there was no nostalgia for this earthly world, so he abandoned his position. Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain the incredible secrets of the year.

This made Cao Chong excited.

After several years of exploration, there was no progress, which made him have to give birth to the idea of finding some people who were on the same path to refer to it together, but in this world, there are only a handful of people who can compare with him, and there are only two or three people, and Yue Guoweizhuang is one of them.

He also believes that as long as Wei Zhuang starts to explore this secret with him, all the mundane things in this world will no longer be able to move him. Why not do a good thing that kills two birds with one stone?

Falling into the trap, Wei Zhuang, who had no choice but to go with Cao Chong, could no longer take care of Yueguo, and the army of Qi under the command of Cao Yun captured Zhaoguan in ten days, and Luo Yishui, the general of Yueguo in Zhaoguan, only led hundreds of guards to break through. Zhao Pass was lost, the door of the Yue State was opened, the 100,000 troops of the Qi State, vertical and horizontal, the remaining months, it occupied a small half of the territory of the Yue State, until this time, the Yue State finally organized a decent counterattack, so as not to stabilize the war situation.

At this time, the Qin State finally reluctantly sent an army into the junction of the Qi Realm and made a move to attack the Qin State to relieve the pressure on the Yue State, but the poor domestic economic form made the Qin State very inward-looking.

In the state of Chu, there was endless debate about whether to send troops to attack the state of Qi. The main battle faction led by Cheng Wuben, the general who returned to the imperial court, strongly advocated that the eastern border army should attack with all its strength at this time to protect the Yue State, while the other faction led by Ma Xiangdong believed that the Qi State was no longer able to march into the Yue State.

The two factions argued, and the new emperor, Min Ruoying, who had only been on the throne for more than a month, remained silent. Echoing this, Luo Liang, the new commander of the eastern region, who had always advocated a large-scale attack on Eastern Qi, was also silent.

The attitude of these two people basically shows the current policy of the Chu State, that is, to sit back and watch the war between Qi and Vietnam. Yue Chu does not have a border, but Yue Qin has an extremely long border line, once the Yue State is not protected, the Qin State will fall into the semi-encirclement of the Qi State, so the most anxious should be the Qin State. What Chu wanted to see most was for Qin to come to the aid of Yue, thus creating a stalemate between Qi and Yueqin.

Of course, the fact that Chu does not send troops does not mean that it cannot aid Qin, so the final solution is that Chu provides Qin with a large amount of grain, weapons, etc., so that Qin can not be too weak in this war to aid Vietnam.

Peng Wu walked on the wide streets of Shangjing, it has been several months since he returned to China, and after the review of the internal guards, he was reassigned to his position, of course, his identity has been exposed, and he who married a Qi woman as his wife, he can no longer serve in the internal guard, but as the first person to find the princess and return to the country with Princess Zhaohua, he was assigned a good position, the warden of the Imperial Prison. The previous prison warden had been stripped of his official post for dereliction of duty because he was implicated in the Western Frontier Military case, and was awaiting accountability.

The warden of Zhao Prison is a good position, although there is not much extra money, because the edict of Chu is empty for most of the time, even if there are occasional people who are imprisoned, they also disdain to bribe the jailers. But the salary is high, and the salary of an ordinary jailer can be on par with that of a fifth-grade officer, and the salary of a prison director is enough to be comparable to that of a second- or third-grade official. This salary has made the fat man Peng Wu very satisfied, and in Luoying County for seven or eight years, he has also saved a lot of himself, which is enough for him to live a decent life in Beijing.

But now his heart is full of gloom, in Zhao Prison, he met an acquaintance, that is, the Qin Feng Qin Lieutenant who was in Luoying County, and he was stammering.

Captain Qin's current situation is extremely bad. In Peng Wu's opinion, he struggled on the verge of life and death almost every day, and after reading some of the case files related to Captain Qin, Peng Wu's first reaction was not to believe it.

At that time, the scene where Princess Zhaohua was rescued, that was the latest insider. More importantly, Qin Feng at that time was already on the verge of death, saying that Qin Feng was a spy of the Qin State, Peng Wu couldn't believe it.

But he didn't dare to say more, and he didn't even dare to look at Qin Feng more, after being an internal guard for so many years, he knew how deep the water was here, and he was a small prison warden, and he was insignificant at all, not only would no one pay attention to what he said, but he could even put himself in it.

Walking down the street, he felt some pain in his heart. Captain Qin Feng and Qin are a good guy, but being thrown into the prison like this, it looks like he is about to be forgotten.

The verdict of the imperial court had already come down, and Ling Chi was executed. It's just that now that the old emperor has died, the new emperor has succeeded to the throne, and then the Qi State has invaded Vietnam, and the world is in chaos, the court has not had time to pay attention to this matter for a while, or it is also that the court wants to make this matter cold again, and when no one pays attention to this matter anymore, Qin Feng will be executed.

It's just that Qin Feng can really hold on to that time? Peng Wu expressed his suspicions, in his opinion, Qin Feng, who was now in prison, could die anytime and anywhere. has been with Qin Feng for almost two months, and he also knows a lot about the hidden dangers of Qin Feng's body.

Maybe it would be a better choice for Qin Feng to die after an attack of injury. He thought to himself sullenly.

Stopping suddenly, he looked up at a magnificent building in front of him.

Princess Zhaohua's Mansion.

It was Princess Zhaohua's mansion. If there is anyone who can save Qin Feng now, it is only Princess Zhaohua. Princess Zhaohua and Qin Feng are chirping me and me in Luoying County, and Peng Wu can be said to be the most clear. Could it be that now Princess Zhaohua really ignores Qin Feng and allows him to die in such an unknown way?

He hesitated for a moment, and finally walked towards Princess Zhaohua's mansion.

"In Xia Pengwu, I came back from Luoying County with the princess, please report to the princess on my behalf."
