Chapter 162: The Mighty Hall Face Saint

What made Li He a little depressed was that these two unidentified guys actually committed suicide immediately after waking up.

To say that Li He has also taken precautions, not only let people check their teeth and tongues, but also stuffed cloth in their mouths, and tied their hands and feet, but these two guys are still dead.

How did he die? Li He looked at the two people bleeding from seven holes on the ground, and his heart was full of doubts.

Let the martial arts masters in the mansion come over to check, and find that they actually blew up their dantian and died, which is really weird.

"Little boy, this self-detonation technique is the secret technique of the Southwest Cult, it seems that these two people are from the Southwest Cult." The master of the Taishi Mansion who performed the autopsy said to Li He.

Soon after, Li Taishi also returned to Fuzhong. Li He told his grandfather about the two unknown people who wanted to enter the Taishi Mansion, and he knew that these two people belonged to the unknown forces who entered the capital as his grandfather said last night.

However, Taishi Li was not surprised after listening to Li He's words, and did not ask why he was in Washington, but nodded slowly, signaled that he understood, and walked directly to the study, and Li He followed closely.

"You let Xiangxiang come back, there will be no accident over there in Washington, and the whereabouts of those two people today are under our control." It's a pity that the two are dead, otherwise I would use them to find the main leader of this gang. Taishi Li said to Li He after entering the study.

Li He was stunned when he heard this, and when he heard this, his grandfather seemed to know everything. But think about it, what kind of place is this Suzaku Street? The people who live here are all high-ranking officials and nobles, and the Li family's monitoring power is naturally not bad, not to mention that grandpa has already noticed that there are unknown forces infiltrating the capital.

"There are so many powerful princes in the capital, why did they pick the Hua family? Although the Hua family is also one of the best families in the Great Xia Kingdom, such a large force of their entry into Beijing should not be just for one Hua family. Li He said with some doubts, he usually doesn't care so much, but today these people threatened his fiancée's family, and he couldn't ignore it.

Taishi Li muttered: "This group of people is not only divided into several units, but also rarely moves on weekdays, and frequently changes strongholds. The people who came out to act were all masters of anti-tracking, so we couldn't figure out their strength and numbers. But today, these two people, the anti-tracking technique is obviously far inferior to the previous ones, but what they are good at is the art of disguise. They have always been cautious, and why they would take risks for the Hua family today is indeed puzzling. ”

Li He hesitated for a moment and said, "What is there in Master Mo Feihua, what do they want?" ”

Taishi Li nodded: "It's possible." ”

Li He frowned: "Why don't you ask Huada people to ask?" ”

Li Taishi said: "You don't have to worry about this, Huazi will become the daughter-in-law of our Li family in a short time, and the Li and Hua families are married, so they are naturally standing on the same front." If there is something in the Hua family, we will never sit idly by. It's you...... Hua Mingxiong and Hua Yunqiang are very traditional and old-fashioned people, and they are quite respectful of all kinds of Xia family etiquette, you have repeatedly had private meetings with Huazi before marriage, if you let them know, although they will not say it clearly, but they will be a little unhappy in their hearts, it is better to be restrained, anyway, after the emperor rewards the celebration meeting, you will be married, what are you in such a hurry to do now. ”

"Yes." Li He secretly stuck out his tongue, grandpa is grandpa, and he can't hide anything from him.

"If I'm not mistaken, this time someone should want to use the Meteorite people to start an incident in the southwest, and these people who came to Beijing are probably going to make some trouble. A few days later, after the emperor holds a celebration ceremony, he will personally go to the altar in the western suburbs to worship his ancestors, and it will be the best time for this group of people to do it. ”

Li He raised his eyebrows when he heard this: "Grandpa is saying that someone wants to rebel?" ……”

Taishi Li smiled faintly and said: "In the hundreds of years since the founding of Great Xia, no matter how peaceful it is, there are such thieves, but there are big and small. As far as the Meteorite people are concerned, it's not the first time they've rebelled. ”

"That'...... How do we do that? Li He frowned and asked. In fact, he is quite satisfied with his current life, a family of gentlemen in a peaceful and prosperous era, powerful, rich, powerful, beautiful, and invulnerable to swords and guns, and a physique that is invulnerable to all poisons, living freely, simple and happy. He doesn't want to spend his brains participating in the family's hegemony and intriguing with those old guys, at most he carries a knife when he needs to kill someone, he leads his troops to kill when he needs to fight, and at other times, it is better to accompany his wife, go shopping, and taste food and wine.

Master Li glanced at him, as if he saw what he was thinking, and said slowly: "You don't have to worry about this, you have grandpa and your brother to deal with it, you just need to take care of yourself on the day of the ceremony." ”

"The Emperor ......"

"Hehe, if the emperor of the Great Xia Kingdom can still be successfully assassinated near the capital, what will the Yulin Army still do? Ouchi's master is not a vegetable eater. ”

"Hmm." Li He actually wanted to say in his heart, or let the emperor assassinate him, when the time comes, grandpa will be the emperor, his father will be the prince, and his brother and him can be a king to play. But after thinking about it, this matter must not be so simple, so it is better to swallow the words.

In the past few days, Li He still secretly went to see Hua Zi every day, he didn't care if Hua Mingxiong and Hua Yunqiang would find out, his fiancée just knew his identity, and he was scared by two disguised guys that day, how could he not coax and enhance his relationship?

However, in this way, Li He went to Loei a lot less times and time, and now Li Ying is pestering him when he sees him, one will let him teach riding, one will let him teach archery, and once even let him teach poetry, not to teach. As a result, Li He "The bright moonlight in front of the bed is suspected to be frost on the ground." Raise your head to count the stars, bow your head and dance the spear. After chanting indiscriminately, he still frightened the Li family brothers and sisters who also didn't understand poetry, and sighed that he was both civil and military, and Daxia all-rounder.

In the blink of an eye, the day of the celebration ceremony came, Li He and a group of generals of the Northern Expeditionary Army all brought armor into the imperial city, went to the mighty palace to pay homage to the current emperor, and received rewards and awards according to their merits.

Today, according to the etiquette system, all the generals must wear the unified armor of the Great Xia Kingdom. This kind of ceremonial armor is much lighter than ordinary armor, focusing on aesthetics and low defense, but the helmet is even half covered by the face, and a long feather feather is inserted on the top of the head according to the different ranks. Li He jokingly called this feather a rooster's tail, and this helmet was a chicken butt helmet.

Even if this armor is not really a combat armor, it is far less comfortable to wear on the body than the armor made by Yue'er, and in the end, Qianqian used the needlework she learned from Yue'er to transform the inside of the armor so that Li He could wear it comfortably.

"I really don't understand, since this armor is a ceremonial armor, it should be comfortable and beautiful, why does the helmet cover the whole face, not only does the cheeks feel uncomfortable, but everyone looks the same, like a black iron man" Li He, who was standing outside the Xuanwu Gate with Li Bu waiting for a routine inspection, complained boredly.

Li Bu said with a smile: "According to the royal statement of the Great Xia Kingdom, a soldier is a weapon that kills people, only the ability to kill people and the loyalty of obeying orders, and things such as appearance are superfluous. ”

Li He rolled his eyes: "Yes, it's best to be like you all of them, except for drinking wine and eating meat and killing people, everything else." Pointing to the east to fight the east, pointing to the west to kill the west. ”

Li Bu smiled: "You are similar, except that in addition to drinking wine and eating meat to kill people, you also have to play with women." ”

Li He and Li Bu were used to being very arrogant in the army, and the voice of the conversation was naturally louder, and after entering the Xuanwu Gate, they immediately attracted a hair-raising reprimand from the eunuchs: "In the imperial city, you must not talk and laugh loudly!" ”。

Li He and Li Bu looked at the eunuch who was shouting when they heard the voice, their eyes were like murderous blades, forcing the eunuch not to dare to look at each other, and lowered his head.

The momentum of the two generals in the Northern Expeditionary Army who were the most capable of fighting and killing people could not be fought against by a mere eunuch.

When Li He heard the eunuch's tone was quite arrogant, he knew that he must be arrogant on weekdays, and there was no one in his eyes. nodded to General Lin and Xiao in front, and when he saw them walking relatively backward, he thought that his status was low, so he dared to scold him, full of villain appearance.

When he passed by the eunuch, Li He squinted at him and said in a low voice, "Be careful when you speak, otherwise even your head will be castrated together." ”

The eunuch wanted to refute, but when he saw Li He's cold eyes, his heart still trembled, and he lowered his head timidly.

It wasn't until Li He and Li Bu had walked a long way that he came back to his senses in a daze. A Yu Linjun who followed behind him said to him: "Prince, you can't afford to mess with those two. ”

"Who are those two? It looks like he's quite young, why is it all about the general's feather? seems to be more arrogant than Lin Dashuai and Uncle Guo. The prince asked suspiciously.

The Yulin Army soldier sneered and said, "Do you know who those two are? The one surnamed Li at the high point is Li He, the general of the Northern Expeditionary Army, the grandson of Li Taishi, and the first hero of the Northern Expedition. The black spot is the general of the Northern Expeditionary Army, Wu Zhuangyuan, one of the main heroes of this Northern Expedition. ”

"Huh? …… Li He? Could it be General Huwei...... The second son of the Li family? The eunuch's eyes were so round that his mouth was open enough to swallow two eggs.

"That's the man." As he spoke, the soldiers of the Yulin Army continued to follow the ranks of the Northern Expedition generals and walked towards the imperial city. Only the eunuchs behind him, whose legs were weak and muttered, stared blankly at their backs.

Li He was originally looking forward to entering the imperial city, such a big country as the Great Xia Kingdom, where the emperor lives and where hundreds of officials face saints, how can he be majestic and not lose to the Forbidden City in his previous life. But now they have entered the Xuanwu Gate and entered the imperial city to see, the mighty is mighty, the style is magnificent, the gold glaze is topped, the bluestone is paved, gorgeous and noble, but they have to follow the step-by-step procedures and order, according to a certain route into the mighty palace, basically the palace next to it can not be seen.

And the palace city is even more in the imperial city, where is the emperor's harem, what three thousand beauties, palace maids and concubines, are all there. In the imperial city, there are either Yulin army guards or shemale eunuchs, and there is a majestic atmosphere everywhere, which makes people want to see what kind of scene is behind the palace walls that are about the same height as the outer city walls.

Li He's curiosity is very strong, no matter what it is, if it arouses his curiosity, then he will do whatever it takes to explore it. But now it's time to face the saint, no matter how curious he is, he won't sneak into the palace at this time, but he has already decided in his heart that he must go to the emperor's harem to wander around and see the deep palace compound of this world.

Looking left and right, Li He and Li Bu followed a group of generals of the Northern Expeditionary Army, and they had already stepped up to the main hall of the Mighty Hall from a wide step of more than 30 meters long.

After the minister of civil and military affairs entered the imperial city from the Xuanwu Gate, he went to the Weiwu Hall by two roads, and the people of the two sides took different paths, but they arrived in front of the Weiwu Hall almost at the same time. The military generals ascended from the left, the Wenchen ascended from the right, and the children of the royal family came from the side of the Mighty Hall and entered the Mighty Hall from the three gates.

The ministers of civil and military affairs and the children of the royal family only nodded when they met on the road, but after entering the mighty palace, they greeted each other enthusiastically.

Li He knew that this was the rule of the Great Xia Kingdom, mainly because he was worried that the princes would form a faction with the ministers of civil and military affairs, so they could not have a whisper on the road, and they could only talk openly after arriving at the Weiwu Palace to show their confession to the emperor. But in fact, the princes still have a way to communicate privately with various civil and military ministers, and the ministers also support different princes.

Standing in the train of military generals, Li He saw that the Wenchen on the opposite side was headed by his grandfather Li Taishi, and below were two old men with white beards. These two old men, his brother Li Ming, took him to visit a few days ago, they were Zhou Taifu and Gao Mu Taibao, and they were the ministers in the court and the central government second only to Li Taishi. They are actually younger than Grandpa, but they look as if they are a generation older than Grandpa.

The difference between the Xia Dynasty and the previous dynasty is that the three dukes, namely Taishi, Taifu, and Taibao, not only have a respected status, but also have great power, which is equivalent to the prime minister of the court and the middle of the court, assisting the emperor in managing national affairs.

Under Zhou Taifu and Gao Mu Taibao, there were several first-class scholars and various scholars, imperial envoys, and Li He's future father-in-law, Hua Mingxiong, was also among them. After the first row of ministers, there were many ministers, and his brother Li Ming was also among them. Thinking about the three grandchildren of the family, the same court, this is really a little proud and proud.

In front of the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs, near the jade steps and the throne, there were two rows of princes and princes.

Han Ping, the king of Tengling, who was seen at the "Ten Thousand Flowers Club" that day, was also among them, laughing and whispering something with a few brothers next to him.

Looking up again, the person at the top of the list of princes seems to be a little familiar. Li He couldn't help but stare at it, the man was wearing a golden robe different from other princes, with an emerald green dragon-shaped jade pendant hanging from his waist, his appearance was slightly worse than that of Tengling King Han Ping, his skin was fair, his face was expressionless, he was standing there with his hands behind his back, and he didn't talk to the people next to him, looking arrogant.

The more I look at it, the more familiar it becomes, this guy must have seen it somewhere. Li He looked at the man, racking his brains and thinking about it.

"Damn! It turned out to be the bird! ......" Li He suddenly let out a low voice, causing Li Bu and the other two generals standing next to him to look back at him suspiciously.

"It's okay, it's okay." Li He hurriedly laughed.

He finally remembered that the young man in the yellow robe who was in the first place in line turned out to be the young brother he had met in a hotel in a small town on the way to Longshou Mountain with Xiangxiang last time. The boy also took three entourages and a woman, but was beaten and paralyzed by Li He. Later, there was a master old man who caught up with them for him, and he was also beaten half to death by Xiangxiang, and finally used a secret technique that consumed his strength to pick up a small life and escape.

At that time, Li He heard that kid call himself "Lonely", and he was a little suspicious that it might be someone from the royal family, and he thought it was the king of a remote place, but he didn't expect to see it in this mighty Jinluan Palace.

Li He lightly touched Li Budao next to him: "The one over there, wearing a gold-inlaid robe, standing in the first place, do you know?" ”

Li Bu followed his gaze, turned back to him and whispered to him, "That one, that's the crown prince of the dynasty." ”

"Uh...... Prince? Li He was stunned when he heard this, remembering that he used the "Li's Dragon Claw Hand" to grab the kid's lower body fiercely, and his eyes couldn't help but drift to the prince's lower body, and his eyes became strange - his grandmother's, Lao Tzu actually caught the prince's bird?!

seemed to feel Li He's gaze, the prince actually glanced over slowly, Li He hurriedly looked away, but he was grateful for this "chicken ass helmet" in his heart. With this thing on, he didn't believe the prince could recognize him.

Sure enough, after the prince's gaze wandered around the "iron" faces of the generals of the Northern Expeditionary Army, he retracted it and continued to look ahead in a daze.

"Does this prince have a son?" Li He suddenly asked Li Bu next to him.

Li Bu thought for a while, shook his head and said, "I don't know much about this, I'll ask." As he spoke, he asked the general next to him a few words, then turned back to him and said, "There are no children and no daughters, but the prince is not yet twenty, and there are only two concubines, so there is no need to be too anxious about giving birth to a son." Brother Li, what are you asking for? ”

Li He smiled and said nothing. But he smiled secretly in his heart, this prince's bird is estimated to be useless, and when he ascends the throne, see how he will set up the next generation of princes.

At this moment, a blue-robed eunuch who had been standing next to the throne at the head of the palace said in a voice as sharp as a duck: "Quiet~~, the emperor has arrived~~~"

"Knock~~~~" At the same time, a crisp and tactful bell rang outside the hall, and the aftersound drifted into the mighty hall, lingering between the beams, making people feel calm.

The ministers, generals, princes and princes in the palace also immediately quieted down, took a few steps forward, turned right to face the dragon chair throne, and stood solemnly.
