Datang: Longevity for Thousands of Years, Exposed by Xiao Sizi

Chapter 16 The old man has awakened!

On the road.

Arriving near the imperial city, we took advantage of the time when Han Min went to talk to the imperial city guards.

Meng Yuan couldn't help but ask, "Master, are you sure you can find His Highness Xiao Sizi? Or... do you want to use this opportunity to check out the ancient tomb?"

The words fell.

In Meng Yuan's mind, he was more inclined to the latter statement.

Your Highness Xiao Sizi...
Your Highness, if today had not been related to the ancient tomb, it would have been difficult for the Meng family to have any contact with Xiao Sizi in their entire lives.

Such a stranger,

We had never been in contact before and we didn't know the little princess's temperament, so how could we know why she disappeared?
Whether he disappeared due to playing around or was kidnapped, etc., the Meng family probably didn't know as much as the many eunuchs in the imperial city.

"I know. I know it very clearly."

However, Meng Xing gave a positive answer.

Meng Yuan was stunned: "Master, how did you know?"

Meng Xing thought for a moment and explained, "According to what Han Fuyin said, His Highness Xiao Sizi disappeared in the throne room, and that place... according to the records of my Meng family, is the most important place in the entire ancient tomb!"

"It's just because there were many times when the old immortal senior came out from there after waking up."

"Perhaps in other places, if His Highness Xiao Sizi disappeared, there may be other reasons, and I can't be sure."

"But only in the throne room, there... it can only be the old senior. It is for this reason that I am sure that the old senior really exists! He is not the immortal made up by my Meng family's ancestors!"

Meng Yuan suddenly realized what was going on when he heard this: "So that's the case, but... there's actually another possibility. Someone abducted His Highness Xiao Sizi from the throne room!"

Meng Xing shook his head: "Impossible, there is only one exit from the throne room! It has been guarded by Li Junxian. If someone else kidnaps them, how can they leave?"

"There... Only the old senior can take His Highness Xiao Sizi away without anyone noticing. As for how he took him away and what his purpose was, I don't know."

"But I think there must be some deep meaning behind this!"

Meng Xing was extremely sure at this moment that it was the immortal who took him away!
Even though he and Qin Changye had never met before, and he didn't even know whether immortals existed before, but at this moment, he... was extremely sure!
.
….….….….….
Imperial City.

Tai Chi Palace.

The night was dim, but Li Shimin was still handling government affairs.

It's not that he's been working day and night.

He used to work day and night to handle government affairs, but not recently.

And the reason why tonight is like this,
It was because Xiao Sizi’s disappearance was a huge blow to him.

Only by dealing with government affairs and focusing his attention on other things did Li Shimin have no time to think about the disappearance of Xiao Sizi.

Moreover, there have been many setbacks and troubles in recent days.

in short,
Use work to numb yourself.

Temporary escape from reality.

now.

After finishing one file, Li Shimin was preparing to deal with the next one.

But at this moment,

However, a guard came in and said, "Your Majesty, Han Min, the prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture, would like to bring two descendants of the Meng family to see you."

Li Shimin was slightly stunned when he heard this, then frowned: "Descendants of the Meng family? Are they related to Xiao Sizi?"

The reason I spoke was to contact Xiao Sizi.

That’s because generally speaking, if someone wanted to see Li Shimin, even a personal guard had to report.

And this will not need to be reported,
Li Shimin had instructed before that as long as one got any news about Xiao Sizi, no matter whether it was big news or small, there was no need to report it and one could meet him directly.

At this moment, the guard came in directly, and what he talked about was only related to the Xiao Sizi incident!

The guard was also suspicious: "Your Majesty, I don't understand the details, but... according to Prefect Han, the two descendants of the Meng family know the whereabouts of His Highness Xiao Sizi!" Boom!
As soon as these words were spoken, it was like a drop of water falling into a calm lake, causing ripples.

Li Shimin, who was originally listless, instantly perked up, his eyes widened, and he stood up from his sitting position.

"What, is it related to Xiao Sizi?"

"Who are they? The descendants of the Meng family... related to Han Min. Could it be... the descendants of the Qin Dynasty general Meng Tian?"

Li Shimin asked tentatively.

He had a lot of things to deal with every day, and recently Han Min had submitted a petition to bring the descendants of Meng Tian into the ancient tomb. Li Shimin took a quick look at it and agreed to it.

It's not a big deal, it's normal to not have much memory.

But today, with Xiao Sizi disappearing from the ancient tomb, he has ordered Fang Xuanling to quickly investigate all people and things related to the ancient tomb.

Even if we can't find out the relationship between the Meng family and the ancient tomb today, I think we can find it out tomorrow.

As long as the power center of a country investigates something in a targeted manner, it will be extremely efficient.

However, I didn't expect that
Before the descendants of the Meng family were found, they came on their own.

"Your Majesty, that's right."

"It is the descendant of General Meng!"

The guard bowed in response.

Li Shimin hurriedly said: "Quick! Please invite them in!"

The guard bowed his head and saluted: "I obey your orders!"

He retreated slowly.

After he left, Li Shimin quickly searched the files and finally found the one that Han Min had submitted a few days ago.

Open and watch.

It contains some basic information about the Meng family and Meng Xing, as well as the Meng family's legacy of guarding the ancient tomb for generations, etc.

"The guardians of all generations...what are they guarding?"

Li Shimin's eyes flickered.

I remember a few years ago,
When he first ascended the throne, he saw the descendants of the Meng family coming to visit the ancient tomb and asked what was inside the tomb. The descendants of the Meng family said that it was a family secret and not even he, Li Shimin, could tell it.

After saying that, he continued to apologize.

Although Li Shimin was curious at the time, he didn't care.

After all, no matter how mysterious the ancient tomb is, it is just a cemetery.

But now Xiao Sizi has disappeared, and the descendants of the Meng family know Xiao Sizi's whereabouts. It seems that the ancient tomb is not simple.

"What secrets are there? What are the descendants of the Meng family hiding? Could it be that... there is an immortal there, as Xuanling said?"

Li Shimin kept muttering.

He wanted to know the details of the ancient tomb more than ever.

Soon,
Meng Xing and Meng Yuan came to the Taiji Palace.

"Meng Xing, descendant of the Meng family, greets His Majesty!"

Meng Xing saluted towards Li Shimin. Meng Yuan, who was standing beside him, had never seen much of the world, let alone met Li Shimin, so he was stunned for a long time before he learned to salute like Meng Xing.

Li Shimin glanced at them and said seriously, "You two don't need to be so polite. I heard from my subordinates that you two know the news about Xiao Sizi. Could it be that the disappearance of my daughter is related to the ancient tomb itself?"

Meng Xing nodded: "Yes, if what I guessed is correct, the disappearance of His Highness Xiao Sizi is the root of my Meng family's protection for generations. It was done by my Meng family's benefactor."

"He should have woken up by now!"
