The court lackeys of the eight-hour workday

Chapter 200 Tianqing

"?"

Yang Lizhang looked puzzled.

Ji Tianrui did not continue speaking, but turned to look at the Xiaoling Guards.

During the time the two were talking, the Xiaoling Guard had gradually calmed down, and Zhu Shoujing also calmed down his lost inner energy and slowly raised his head to look over.

"Well, now is not the time for idle chat. The Xiaoling Guards have already responded, and the offerings sent by the Emperor will probably be arriving soon."

"Now that we have released Emperor Jianwen and let Lord Li see the emperor's origins, our trip is complete."

"All that's left is to wait for the actions of Emperor Jianwen and Lord Li, and then we can act according to their plan."

Ji Tianrui tapped his feet lightly, and the whole person rose into the air like a wild goose, stepping on the eaves and flying towards the dense forest outside the imperial mausoleum.

Yang Lizhang was fed up with her attitude of hiding things and only speaking half of the truth, but there was nothing he could do. He frowned, caught up with Ji Tianrui with his light skills, and disappeared into the dense forest, leaving no trace.

Let's not talk about how the Xiaoling Guards lost the two men and finally had no choice but to return to the imperial mausoleum;

Yesen passed by a eunuch in a dragon robe named Huang Jin who rushed here and hurriedly dispersed the guards of the Xiaoling Mausoleum and covered up all traces of the tombs in the Xiaoling Mausoleum and the emperor's mausoleum; then he divided the twenty worshippers into two groups and followed the traces of Ji Tianrui and Emperor Jianwen's departure respectively.

Let’s talk about Li Miao first.

At this time, he was walking slowly in a dense forest deep in Tianshou Mountain.

After a night of fighting, it was almost Yin time, not far from sunrise, the coldest time of the day. The cold wind blew through the leaves, blowing off the dew and hitting Li Miao's long silver hair.

He did not withdraw from the "eight-hour" state.

Because he still has a tough battle to fight.

After a while, Li Miao walked to an open space covered with gravel.

There must have been a landslide here before, and the rubble fell down and broke the trees here. Then the trees rotted, leaving this empty space covered with stones.

Li Miao stood there, twirling his fingers and thinking for a moment.

Then he nodded and raised his hands to tighten his sleeves.

He jumped a few times on the spot, threw a few punches, and made a sharp sound. He shook his neck, relaxed his shoulders, and stamped his feet, leaving two huge deep pits on the ground.

"It's okay."

Li Miao smiled.

Then he raised his hand and used the Xuantian Finger, piercing through the gravel-covered ground in front of him.

boom! ! !
The moment the sharp true energy pierced into the ground, the ground exploded with a loud bang. The originally broken stones were suddenly blown into dust and gathered into a thick dust fog, blocking Li Miao's sight.

Li Miao raised his hand and slapped him.

Overwhelming!

The powerful true energy burst out, dispersing the dust and fog.

A skinny and withered figure appeared, with no hair or beard, and dark skin. He was wearing a tattered bright yellow robe embroidered with nine five-clawed golden dragons. His eyes were bright and bright, embedded in his eye sockets, whose eyelids had shrunk.

It was Emperor Jianwen!
Li Miao chuckled.

"Since I have found this place and stamped my feet twice as if knocking on the door, why is Your Majesty avoiding me?"

"This is not the behavior of a wise and enlightened ruler."

Li Miao had been tossing and turning in the imperial mausoleum for most of the night, and there was not much time left to maintain the two routes. He had three choices before him.

1. Go chase Ji Tianrui.

Second, stay and find a chance to investigate the tombs inside the Xiaoling Mausoleum. Perhaps you can discover more secrets of Da Shuo hidden behind the scenes.

3. Come directly and cause trouble for Emperor Jianwen.

These three options will inevitably take a lot of time. Before falling asleep, Li Miao can only pick the one that matters most to him.

He chose Emperor Jianwen. Going to the imperial mausoleum tonight was to investigate the secret of the Great Shuo Celestial Beings not appearing in the world. If he ran into Mingjiao and Ji Tianrui, he would kill them. If he didn't run into them, he wouldn't rush.

However, from the moment I saw Emperor Jianwen taking action against Yin Ruihua and Zhu Shoujing, everything else took second place.

Li Miao's capital for survival is his extraordinary military power.

This martial power comes from Li Miao's amazing physique and the effort and sweat he put in.

Of course, the "eight-hour work system" also played a minor role.

But Li Miao is not the type to stuff a pie in his mouth with a clear conscience. He cannot rest easy without thoroughly understanding the origin and principle of this thing.

Although in some of the stories I read in my previous life, it was standard for the "outer demon" to have a golden finger, which was nothing special.

However, it is not uncommon for this golden finger to suddenly turn against the villain at the end of the story and become part of the villain's conspiracy/a pawn of the mastermind/a hidden danger, or even become the villain itself and fight to the death with the protagonist.

Since he saw something similar on Emperor Jianwen, Li Miao would definitely not miss the opportunity to investigate.

The purpose of Ji Tianrui releasing Emperor Jianwen is still unclear. If Emperor Jianwen is killed by Ji Tianrui before Li Miao finds out the truth, it would be too late for regret.

Emperor Jianwen has been lying in the mausoleum for more than a hundred years. Although no one knows how he can live to this day, looking at his mummy-like appearance, one can tell that his condition is not very good.

There is no better opportunity than now to kill him.

So, we have the current situation.

Emperor Jianwen looked at Li Miao coldly and spoke slowly.

"Who are you?"

"A nobody, not worth mentioning."

Li Miao waved his hand.

"I am not here to cause trouble to Your Majesty. As long as Your Majesty can solve my doubts, I will leave immediately. How about that?"

Emperor Jianwen did not answer.

Li Miao sighed.

"Well, I don't think His Majesty is going to be easy to talk to."

"Then let me learn from your Majesty's methods."

Bang!
In an instant, the gravel under Li Miao's feet exploded. In another blink of an eye, he was in front of Emperor Jianwen and chopped him down diagonally with a "knife"!
Before it reached him, the sharp true energy had already cut through the air, making a shrill scream!

Emperor Jianwen's eyes narrowed.

In an instant, the situation changed.

Li Miao looked around.

He was no longer on the flat ground paved with gravel, but had come to a large hall.

The floor of the hall is paved with golden bricks, and a throne is set up in the main room. In front of the throne, there are four pairs of furnishings on both sides: precious elephants, Lu Duan, cranes and incense pavilions.

It is the most honorable Hall of Supreme Harmony in the Forbidden City.

Sitting on the throne was a young man in his twenties with a square face, big ears, sword-like eyebrows and beetle eyes. He was wearing a dragon robe. He looked at Li Miao with a serious and indifferent expression.

He raised a hand from the armrest and reached out to Li Miao from a distance.

boom! ! !
When he was fighting with Zuo Lishan on Mount Tai before, he always said "it was as if the sky was falling", which was actually just an exaggeration.

But the young man knocked him down with one palm.

The sky really fell down.

Looking at the sky rapidly falling above his head and feeling the earth shaking and groaning beneath his feet, Li Miao chuckled, raised his hand above his head, stretched out two fingers, and then suddenly clenched his fist at his waist.

Black Pagoda!
