Just when Huang Wuji was in the secret passage, there were two people in the Tang Imperial Study who were talking about him

··············································

In the imperial study of the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Emperor was talking to the eldest prince Li Chengqian about the ancient cave.

"Qian'er, is there any whereabouts of the old thirteen!" Tang Emperor Li Shimin said with a slight worry in his eyes. The eldest prince Li Chengqian shook his head and said: "There is a little eyebrow, the emperor recently found out, the nineteenth brother seems to have left the North City Gate a year ago and entered the Qilian Mountains!"

"Qilian Mountain Range, where did the news come from!" Emperor Tang asked with a frown as he looked at the eldest prince Li Chengqian. "It's a subordinate of Erchen, and I accidentally learned from the mouth of a deputy governor of Yuan Chonghuan!" said the eldest prince Li Chengqian looked at Emperor Tang respectfully.

"Interesting, this younger brother of yours has grown up, and even I am a little unsure!" Tang Huang casually picked up the teacup in front of the table and took a sip and said with a smile.

"Yes, it's only since the thirteenth brother woke up from being injured by the tenth, it seems that he has become a different person, and he doesn't even pay attention to the woman I arranged before!"

The eldest prince Li Chengqian did not hide anything from the Tang Emperor, as if the lord of a country in front of him had already known about it.

"You said that little girl!" Tang Huang asked thoughtfully.

"Yes, it's that little girl, a little tender!" the eldest prince Li Chengqian shook his head with a smile.

"Well, it's a little tender, otherwise Lao Thirteen wouldn't have left her alone and slipped away!" Tang Huang touched his beard, the corners of his eyes twitched slightly, obviously his heart was not very calm.

"This time, the thirteenth brother disappeared without warning, as if it had been planned a long time ago, and even the guards in his mansion didn't know what was going on!"

"Yes, a year ago, the old thirteen showed his edge and did all kinds of ridiculous things, it seems that he had expected that I would be severely punished, and even his father was fooled!" Tang Huang said this, a fine light flashed in the dragon's eyes, and he snorted coldly: "The little guy's wings are stiff, and he doesn't take my father in his eyes anymore!"

"Father's anger is relieved, this matter may not be a good thing in the eyes of his son!" "The eldest prince Li Chengqian did not have the momentum to fight against the Tang Emperor in the court at this time, but his eyes were still calm and said.

"Oh, you can talk about it!" said Emperor Tang, looking at the eldest prince Li Chengqian, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

Erchen was wondering if the thirteenth brother's confused appearance in the past was pretended. If it's really pretending, then the future of my thirteenth brother is limitless!".

The eldest prince Li Chengqian said with a sigh that Huang Wuji's deformation caught him a little off guard, and he disappeared without a trace after the first appearance, and he didn't know where he went.

"Yes, I'm also wondering if all the things before the thirteenth are not lost. If that's the case, then the acting skills are too clever, and the clever ones even concealed from you and me and many royal elders, which just shows that this younger brother of yours is a little dishonest!" Tang Huang said this, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and the air pressure in the imperial study dropped sharply, making the eldest prince Li Chengqian in the room feel a sense of depression.

"Well, what my father said is right, the disappearance of the old thirteen this time looks like it has been planned for a long time, and he even used some strength to forcibly promote the deputy governor, all the way the door was wide open, and he swaggered out of Kyoto, and he underestimated the thirteenth brother a little before!" The eldest prince Li Chengqian's voice became gloomy when he spoke, and his brows furrowed slightly on his calm face.

"I don't blame you, even me and many royal elders have lost their eyes, and the old thirteen deceived everyone by hiding from the sky and crossing the sea!" Emperor Tang saw the appearance of the eldest prince Li Chengqian blaming himself, although he was a little unhappy in his heart, but he comforted and persuaded him.

"The father doesn't have to excuse his son, it's the son's negligence!" The eldest prince Li Chengqian is very jealous of his father, which can be seen from the fact that he let himself make a division of resistance above the court.

"Forget it, you don't have to blame yourself, you can strengthen your knowledge of the princes of other domains and regions in the future, and make sure that there is no example like the old thirteen!"

Emperor Tang's words gradually became serious, and his words were filled with an irresistible majesty, and the entire imperial study seemed to be pressed under an invisible big hand.

"Father Xie, the sons must send more people to monitor the other imperial brothers!" The eldest prince Li Chengqian hurriedly got up from his chair and knelt on the ground to thank him.

"Get up, you are my most powerful son, I will have to rely on you in the future!" Emperor Tang looked at the eldest prince Li Chengqian with deep meaning and said with a smile.

"My father's words are serious, it should be my son's retainers who rely on my father!" Although the eldest prince Li Chengqian's cultivation is high, he still has to be cautious in the unfathomable Tang Emperor.

Because, the eldest prince Li Chengqian has never seen clearly, his father, even if he can't even guess a trace of his thoughts.

At the same time, the eldest prince Li Chengqian was also curious about why every prince would be monitored by his father after he was born, because even he was no exception.

It's just that the eldest prince Li Chengqian got the attention of the Tang Emperor, and gradually handed over this matter to him a year ago. It was precisely this alternation that Huang Wuji escaped from Kyoto without a trace in a momentary omission, and the eldest prince Li Chengqian has always been ashamed.

"Okay, you and I don't have to compliment each other, and then say what else we found!" Tang Huang waved his hand and shifted the topic to Huang Wuji again.

Huang Wuji's disappearance, in the eyes of the Tang Emperor and the eldest prince Li Chengqian, was too bizarre and coincidental, as if it was an unpredictable prophet.

At the moment when the Tang Emperor and the eldest prince Li Chengqian handed over, the moment there was a loophole, Huang Wuji's whole person seemed to disappear out of thin air, and no one would wonder if it was really premeditated.

And. The speed of this handover was very fast, and the loophole was only formed for half an hour. In this half hour, Huang Wuji disappeared as if he had put on wings.

What's more, what made Emperor Tang and the eldest prince Li Chengqian unbearable was that the people he sent didn't get the news until three months after Huang Wuji disappeared.

Three months is enough time for an ordinary person to rampage one-fifth of Middle-earth, and trying to dig people out is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack.

"I did find something, but it hasn't been confirmed yet, and there is no guarantee that it is true!" the eldest prince Li Chengqian thought of the secret report reported to him by the people below and said slowly.

"Say it!" Tang Huang frowned lightly and said seriously. A prince is nothing to the dozens of sons of the Tang Emperor, and he will not feel distressed even if he dies.

However, a prince disappears under his nose for no reason, and as the supreme ruler of a dynasty, he cannot accept it.

Moreover, the wisdom and wit that Huang Wuji showed when he escaped made him change drastically about himself, who usually knew only about eating, drinking, and having fun.

Moreover, it can be seen from its means that Huang Wuji's ambition does not dare to live in his shadow forever. At this point, even his eldest prince Li Chengqian in front of him is not as good as the old thirteen.

The eldest prince Li Chengqian has good ambitions, but everything is under the control of the Tang Emperor himself, and even if he breaks the sky, he can't escape from the palm of his hand. From beginning to end, all the things of the eldest prince Li Chengqian were seen by the Tang Emperor, and even if he turned around casually at night, he knew what he was thinking.

Therefore, for the Tang Emperor, Li Chengqian, the eldest prince, was the most perfect chess piece placed in the Tang Dynasty, and almost everyone was deceived.

Middle Earth is not as simple as it seems on the surface, otherwise it would have been swallowed up by the Fangwai Sect, where there is still a foothold of the five great dynasties.

"That's right, Erchen's people recently submitted a secret report, which said that a beggar in Purple Moon City found a treasure map a year ago and sold it to a pawnshop, and the pawnshop owner copied the treasure map and sold it to others, which made the entire Purple Moon City a sensation at once, and tens of thousands of people entered the Qilian Mountains!"

"What does this have to do with the old thirteen!" Emperor Tang asked with a frown, if there was really a treasure map in the Tang Dynasty, how could he hide it from his eyes.

"According to the report of the spy, it is said that there is a young man who looks very much like the thirteenth brother, and spent a hundred miles of silver to buy a treasure map of ten taels of silver from a big man, and the big man returned to Purple Moon City to publicize it, and the spy grabbed him and forced him to say it!"

"What do you mean, the old thirteen entered the Qilian Mountain Range, and it was judged from this clue!" "Emperor Tang looked at the eldest prince Li Chengqian and asked in the blink of an eye.

"Father is wise, and the son of the emperor has indeed drawn this conclusion from this!" said the eldest prince Li Chengqian respectfully.

"And what!" Emperor Tang continued to ask unmoved by the horses of the eldest prince Li Chengqian. What Emperor Tang is most concerned about now is whether Huang Wuji is an escaper, or someone to help him escape from his control.

Erchen believes that the treasure map should be fake, and the tens of thousands of people who entered the Qilian Mountains before and after, only a few hundred escaped, as if they had encountered the siege of the fierce beast group and the attack of a giant rhino. However, from the hundreds of people who escaped, Erchen learned a piece of news, and he didn't know whether to tell it or not!" said the eldest prince Li Chengqian, who hesitated here.

"Say!" Emperor Tang said with a golden mouth.

"From the mouths of hundreds of people, I learned that when the fierce beast group was besieging, a young man with excellent cultivation suddenly appeared, looking very similar to the thirteenth brother, and defeated countless fierce beasts with his hands and feet, and the frightened fierce beast group fled in a desert, and then entered the woods and disappeared in a blink of an eye, I heard that it seemed to be chasing someone!" The eldest prince Li Chengqian synthesized the oral accounts of hundreds of people and told the Tang Emperor.

"You mean, the old thirteen alone killed the group of fierce beasts!" A faint look appeared between Tang Huang's eyebrows, and it disappeared in a blink of an eye.

"Yes, those who survived by luck said the same thing almost in unison. Moreover, when he came out, he specially ordered someone to draw a portrait, and asked his father to look at it!"

Saying that, a blank piece of paper appeared out of thin air in the hands of the eldest prince Li Chengqian, and he stepped forward and handed it to the Tang Emperor. Tang Huangjie took the white paper and unfolded it suddenly, looking at the portrait on the paper, who was it not Huang Wuji.

Although, the Tang Emperor only met many princes at the end of the year, when the royal family gathered. However, the appearance of every prince will be reflected in the heart of the Tang Emperor.

The Tang Emperor compared the portrait on the paper with the Huang Wuji in his memory, and basically eighty or ninety percent believed that the painting on it was indeed the old thirteen.

"Yes, it's indeed the old thirteen, did you ask anything!".

Emperor Tang's mood became heavier and heavier, Huang Wuji's qualifications were not unchecked, he was born with waste firewood and martial arts, if he wasn't born in the royal family, he was not as good as ordinary people outside, how could he have the ability to kill the fierce beasts and flee.

"Could it be that I saw it wrong back then, no, Uncle Huang also saw it back then!" Tang Huang squinted his eyes and thought secretly. "Father, father!" the eldest prince Li Chengqian shouted softly when he saw that Emperor Tang was not speaking.

"Well, go on, what other information!" Emperor Tang became more and more curious about Huang Wuji, how could this waste son cultivate, and he couldn't detect it, and the person who arranged the surveillance was not a dry meal.

People who can hide from surveillance secretly cultivate, and they can't make people curious.

"Erchen, after getting this news, I personally went to the Qilian Mountains to check it out. Although it has been a year, it has still made Erchen discover a strange thing!" The eldest prince Li Chengqian said with a frown when he thought of what he saw in the Qilian Mountains that day.

"Oh, there is such a thing, the emperor should listen to it!" Tang Huang asked curiously.

"There seemed to be signs of demon clan activity in the Qilian Mountains a year ago, and recently, Erchen also found that the demon clan frequently appeared in the territory of Datang, and seemed to be investigating something. Erchen, in order not to startle the snake, let them toss!".

The eldest prince Li Chengqian is almost in charge of the most secret intelligence agency of the entire Tang Dynasty, and almost every move in the Tang Dynasty cannot escape from the palm of his hand.

It's a pity that this intelligence agency, the eldest prince Li Chengqian, was only accepted from the Tang Emperor a year ago. Among them, the mysterious Shence Mansion is still in the hands of the Tang Emperor, and he can't even touch it.

"Oh, there is such a thing, why didn't you report it to me earlier!" After hearing the words of the eldest prince Li Chengqian, Emperor Tang asked with a frown and a little dissatisfaction.

"Father is angry, Erchen originally wanted to wait for the demon clan to make a move, take it down in one fell swoop, and give you a scare. It's a pity that those demon clans only went around the territory of the Tang Dynasty a few times, and they also came to Kyoto once, they didn't do anything, they turned around and left, and the sons didn't move them in order not to startle the snake!"

"You mean, those of the demon clan have only gone around the territory of the Tang Dynasty a few times, and even after coming to Kyoto, they haven't done anything!" Emperor Tang frowned again and stared at the eldest prince Li Chengqian and asked.

"Yes, there is no movement at all, it seems to be here to play!"

"It's strange, the demon clan is not the same as the fierce beast, it has always regarded the human race as a mortal enemy, and when it comes to Middle-earth, it doesn't do anything at all, it's strange!" Tang Huang muttered to himself and said strangely, he didn't understand what the hell the demon clan was doing, and he was confused for a while.

"The children are also strange, so I didn't move them!" The eldest prince Li Chengqian was obviously the same as the Tang Emperor, and he was very strange about the abnormal behavior of the demon clan.

"Those people of the demon clan, have you seen anyone in Datang!" Tang Huang thought for a moment and looked up at the eldest prince Li Chengqian and asked.

The eldest prince Li Chengqian recalled the content of the secret report, and said after a while: "It doesn't seem to be, but I just saw it, the demon clan's hidden pile in our Datang, everything else is as usual!"

"In this way, there has been no movement in the dark pile of the demon clan in Datang recently!" Emperor Tang has long known about the dark pile arranged by the demon clan in the territory of Datang. I don't know what the reason is, I ordered the eldest prince Li Chengqian to only keep watching, and ignore everything else.

"No, it's very quiet!" said the eldest prince Li Chengqian after thinking about it.

"Could it be a routine inspection, but the time is not right!" Tang Huang said here, suddenly closed his mouth, and glanced deeply at the eldest prince Li Chengqian.

"Is there anything else?" Tang Huang continued to ask.

"There are no other things, but there is a few news from the Great Sui and the Great Man!" The eldest prince Li Chengqian has broken all the clues to Huang Wuji's tracking of the Qilian Mountains, so he can only use other news to appease the Tang Emperor.

When Emperor Tang heard what the eldest prince Li Chengqian said, he also knew that the matter of the old thirteen could only be like this for the time being, and it was impossible to find out what was going on in a short period of time.

"Oh, what's going on with the Great Sui again!" The Tang Emperor suddenly became interested, the Great Sui Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty were old rivals. "That's the case, the eldest lady of the Great Sui Zi family let people kill her!" said the eldest prince Li Chengqian with a frown.

"What, that precious lady of the Zi family was killed, did the old ghost of the Zi family make any moves!" The corners of Tang Huang's mouth twitched slightly, and he couldn't help but ask.

"I didn't find out this!" the eldest prince Li Chengqian lowered his head and said embarrassedly.

"It's okay, our Datang and Da Sui are mortal enemies, there's no need to care!. What the Tang Emperor said was the truth, when the Tang Dynasty did not start, it was just a king with a different surname in the Great Sui.

Later, there was a great chaos within the Great Sui, and the Li family took advantage of the situation to become independent from the Great Sui, and after countless years of development, it finally became today's Tang Dynasty, on an equal footing with the Great Sui Dynasty. Even, to a certain extent, surpassed the Great Sui Dynasty.

However, the Great Sui Dynasty has always looked down on such a second and fifth boy as the Tang Dynasty. Similarly, the Tang Dynasty also looked down on the Great Sui Dynasty, and from generation to generation, the Tang Dynasty and the Great Sui Dynasty became real rivals.

"The precious granddaughter of the purple old ghost is dead, and Da Sui is in a mess now!" Tang Huang smiled for the first time on his face.

"Yes, I heard that the death of the eldest lady of the Zi family has affected many people!" Li Chengqian, the eldest prince, told the Tang Emperor some hearsay gossip.

"Well, is there anything else?" Tang Huang listened to a lot of things, but the matter of the Great Sui was a little interesting.

"It's about Daman, the situation is a little wrong!" said the eldest prince Li Chengqian with a smile on his face.

"What's the matter!" Emperor Tang asked with a frown when he saw that the eldest prince Li Chengqian became serious.
