The Bad Guys: Playing the Fake Li Xingyun at the Beginning

Chapter 24: Marshal, you made a great move

"Brother, the Xuanming Cult is here?"

Li Siyuan's chopsticks holding the food were suspended in the air. He swallowed the porridge he had just taken, and said in disbelief, "Xuanming Sect? Liang State is gone, how can there still be Xuanming Sect?"

Seeing his elder brother's disbelieving look, Li Cunli was also very depressed. To be honest, if his men hadn't confirmed it again and again, he wouldn't have dared to believe it was true. "Brother, I didn't lie to you. Meng Po brought the Xuanming Sect to join Li Xingyun."

Geek!

Li Siyuan's chopsticks fell on the table, his narrow eyes widened, "What did you say? Surrender to Li Xingyun?" He thought the Xuanming Sect's resurrection was outrageous enough, but he didn't expect it to be even more outrageous.

No, Meng Po is a bad person. She was definitely instructed by Yuan Tiangang to bring the Xuanming Sect to Li Xingyun. Now that Li Xingyun controls the Xuanming Sect, his power has instantly grown. It will be difficult for him to imprison them again.

Li Siyuan thought of this step almost in the blink of an eye. He thought for a moment and said in a deep voice, "I have to go see Li Xingyun and invite him to the palace. If this continues, I don't know what kind of trouble will arise."

He thought that Yuan Tiangang would let the bad guys assist Li Xingyun. He also wanted to take this opportunity to find out all the bad guys Yuan Tiangang had planted in Luoyang and remove these thorns to avoid ending up like Li Cunxu.

But he didn't expect that Yuan Tiangang would not play by the rules, but directly let the Xuanming Sect be reborn, and he was really good at listing through a backdoor listing.

At this time, he thought of Zhu Yougui again, and couldn't help but shudder. Could it be that all the people around me are bad people?

Suddenly, he felt a chill.

Seeing the changing expression on Li Siyuan's face, Li Cunli's eyes flashed with ruthlessness, and he whispered, "Brother, while Li Xingyun has not yet ascended the throne, do you want me to lead people to kill all the people of Xuanming Sect, cut off the roots, and leave him with no one to use!"

This sentence scared Li Siyuan, and he hurriedly stopped her, "Sixth brother, don't do that. Meng Po is a bad person and represents Yuan Tiangang. Don't provoke them. If Yuan Tiangang gets impatient and overturns the table, you and I won't even have room to resist."

"Besides, Meng Po definitely won't have many people around her. Even if you kill them all, it will be useless. As long as the shell of Xuanming Sect is still there, you can have as many people as you want."

At the end, he looked at Li Cunli meaningfully and said, "The most important thing is, don't forget that even without the Xuanming Sect, we still have the Huanyin Square."

These words frightened Li Cunli into a cold sweat. He quickly admitted his mistake, "Brother, you are right. I was reckless and almost caused a disaster."

"I won't waste my time talking to you. Hurry up and have someone vacate and clean up the palace. I'm going to see Li Xingyun." After saying this, Li Siyuan hurried away.

······

After giving the lecture, Su Ming asked the other members of Xuanming Sect to go out and guard, leaving only Meng Po behind.

Seeing the person in front of him, he was filled with emotion. No matter how many times he had seen it, Meng Po's disguise skills still amazed him. "Meng Po, how many people are there in Xuanming Sect now?"

Meng Po replied respectfully, "As long as Your Highness needs, the Xuanming Sect will have as many people as you want." After saying that, the two looked at each other, and everything was said without words.

With the backing of the Bad People, an organization that has been passed down for more than 300 years, the Xuanming Sect will naturally not be short of people. However, those are only the small fry at the bottom. There are not many people with special skills at the elite level. These days, there is a shortage of talent everywhere.

As soon as she finished speaking, Zhang Zifan and the others in the backyard also appeared here one after another. Zhang Zifan greeted them, "Senior Mengpo, how are you?"

Meng Po looked at them, then glanced at Su Ming inconspicuously, and said lightly, "So it's Zhang Tianshi, I'm so sorry."

To be honest, she already had some admiration for Su Ming. At first, she thought that after Su Ming replaced Li Xingyun, he would soon be exposed by someone familiar with him and his identity would be revealed.

Unexpectedly, not only did this guy's identity not get exposed, but he became very successful and even lured all of Li Xingyun's friends down the mountain to help him. His methods and ideas were truly extraordinary.

Ordinary people would not have the courage to keep these people around. If they were exposed, all their efforts would be wasted.

However, no matter how bad it is, it can't be worse than this.

The Bad Guys knew exactly what kind of person Li Xingyun was. Originally, Meng Po felt very sympathetic towards Li Xingyun. After all, this kid's fate was too rough and he was destined to bear a heavy destiny.

Now a lifelike substitute has come and taken on all the things he didn't want. The mere news of Li Xingyun leading the troops has excited some of the bad guys.

The Tang Dynasty has been destroyed for so long. Under the influence of Yuan Tiangang, the Bad People do not recognize the Later Tang Dynasty established by Li Cunxu at all. They only recognize the Li Tang bloodline. Now, they finally see a glimmer of hope for revival.

All kinds of thoughts emerged in her mind, and Meng Po sighed: Marshal, you really made a good move.

As she looked at everyone, others were also looking at her.

Especially Li Cunyi. In his perception, this old woman who looked like half of her body was about to be buried in the ground gave him a great sense of oppression. He even had a hunch that if he really fought, he would not be able to beat this person.

In fact, he was indeed no match for Meng Po.

After taking the oath with the Xuanming Sect, Meng Po's mission was completed, so she prepared to leave, "Your Highness, I still have to settle the followers of the Xuanming Sect, so I won't bother you any more."

Su Ming nodded, "Meng Po, please."

Afterwards, Meng Po bowed, then walked away unsteadily, leaning on her crutches.

It was not until her figure disappeared that everyone withdrew their gaze and turned to look at Li Xingyun.

At this point, Su Ming was a little puzzled, "Why are you all looking at me?"

Zhang Zifan said solemnly: "Brother Li, this Meng Po is so strong. Even if I have mastered the Five Thunders Heavenly Heart Art and the Supreme Saint Qiankun Art, I am still no match for her."

Lu Linxuan nodded, agreeing, "Yes, Senior Brother, with such a master protecting you, you are finally not afraid of Li Siyuan attacking you."

This made Su Ming laugh and cry. Even if Li Siyuan had ten thousand guts, he would not dare to attack him. (Unless Yuan Tiangang died.)

Just as he was about to speak, a voice sounded in the courtyard, and then a figure appeared in front of them, "Your Highness, your Highness is greeted by your servant Li Siyuan."

Su Ming's eyes focused and he saw Li Siyuan standing in front of him, with his head lowered and bowing respectfully.

The moment he saw Li Siyuan, Zhang Zifan's eyes instantly turned red, and a fierce murderous intent emanated from his whole body. He gritted his teeth and looked at the murderer of his father in front of him.

Lu Linxuan and Li Cunyi were both alert, as if they were facing a great enemy. The atmosphere in the courtyard suddenly became tense and ready to explode.

Fortunately, Zhang Zifan still had some sense and knew that now was not the time to take action. He suppressed his inner impulse and just stared at Li Siyuan.

Chapter 25 Angry Zhang Zifan

Meng Po had just left when Li Siyuan arrived. Interesting. It seemed that he was anxious. Su Ming smiled secretly in his heart, but his face was cold. "Li Siyuan, what are you doing here?"

Li Siyuan still lowered his head and said in a deep voice, "Your Highness has come to Luoyang. I am busy with government affairs. It is not that I did not see you, but it is difficult for me to get away. I hope Your Highness will forgive me."

Su Ming snorted coldly and gave Zhang Zifan a comforting look. "I have been in Luoyang for half a month and have only met you once. Have you been busy with government affairs in the past half month, or have you been eliminating dissidents and plotting to seize power in Jin?"

However, these heart-piercing words did not move Li Siyuan. He remained calm and replied, "Your Highness, you are too kind. I have devoted my life to the country. How could I do such an overstepping act? I hope Your Highness will understand. I came here today to ask Your Highness to stay in the palace so that I can prepare for the coronation ceremony and announce it to the world."

Just a few words left everyone present stunned.

At this moment, they had only one thought in their minds: Yuan Tiangang was really that powerful!

Su Ming had gone to see Li Siyuan many times before, but was turned away every time. He did not expect that when Yuan Tiangang came, he was so scared that he went to the door to apologize and even wanted to hold a coronation ceremony to help him become emperor.

At this time, everyone looked at Su Ming, expecting his response. Didn't they follow Su Ming down the mountain to help him become emperor? As long as he agreed, unifying the world would become easier.

How tempting is this?

However, Su Ming's answer disappointed them. "Li Siyuan, I approached you before, but you made all kinds of excuses and avoided me. Now you want to invite me to the throne. Don't you think it's a little late?"

This answer surprised Li Siyuan. Is there anyone in this world who can resist the temptation of becoming emperor?

Then, he realized that this guy was going to make conditions.

A feeling of aggrieved came over me. You refused to be the emperor even though I asked you to do so. Not only did you put forward conditions, but you were also trying to control me. This was simply outrageous.

His face froze, and he gritted his teeth and said, "It was my fault that I neglected Your Highness before. I beg Your Highness to punish me."

Li Xingyun, just wait!

Wait until you enter the palace, and then I will slowly deal with you!

Su Ming also heard the insincerity and reluctance in his voice, but, so what?

Now he is the one who is anxious to invite himself to ascend the throne, rather than him wanting to ascend the throne and become emperor. Before, he was a guest and had requests from Li Siyuan. Now that he has the initiative, Li Siyuan can only fall into a passive position and let him make demands.

Su Ming smiled faintly and winked at everyone, "I'll forgive you for what you did. The Xuanming Sect of Liang State has abandoned evil and turned to good, and has joined me. From now on, you must not attack them again. Do you understand?"

Li Siyuan knew that he was trying to whitewash the Xuanming Sect and use it for his own purposes.

Although he wanted to stop it, the situation was stronger than him, so he had to bow his head and agreed, "Your Highness, don't worry. Since the Xuanming Sect has surrendered to Your Highness, I will naturally not continue to hunt them down. Tomorrow I will order the Tongwenguan to stop hunting them down. Your Highness can rest assured."

Su Ming nodded in satisfaction and proposed another condition, "Okay, in that case, I forgive you. Next, let's talk about entering the palace. I can enter the palace, but what about them? How do you plan to place them?"

Li Siyuan glanced at Zhang Zifan and the others calmly, not taking them seriously. He could deal with these people at any time if he wanted. "Don't worry, Your Highness. The Luoyang Palace has been empty for a long time and is not well guarded. If Your Highness is worried, you can let them lead the Imperial Guards."

Su Ming looked at him deeply and did not object. "Okay, you are very thoughtful. Let's do it this way."

Hearing this answer, Li Siyuan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and asked, "Your Highness, it's better to do it today than to wait for a better day. How about we enter the palace now?"

Su Ming shook his head. "No hurry. It's getting late today. Let's pack up and enter the palace tomorrow."

Hearing this, everyone's mouth twitched. The sun had just come out, and it was already late?

As long as he agreed to enter the palace, everything would be easy, so Li Siyuan agreed immediately.

At this time, he had time to talk with others and greeted Li Cunyi, "Fifth brother, long time no see, I hope you are well."

Li Cunyi rolled his eyes and didn't buy his story. He directly mocked him, "Li Siyuan, forget it. I have been away from Tongwenguan for almost ten years. You are the high and mighty King of Jin. I am not worthy of this title."

Li Siyuan did not take this sarcasm to heart and said with a smile, "After all, we are both adopted sons of our adoptive father. We haven't seen each other for many years, so we should get closer to each other. Why be so formal?" As he said that, he looked at Zhang Zifan and Lu Linxuan standing beside him.

"Zifan got married so soon, and I am so pleased, my godfather. Unfortunately, I was so busy with government affairs at that time that I couldn't go there in person. I could only send someone to deliver a gift. If your father could see it with his own eyes, I don't know how happy he would be."

Just a few words immediately aroused Zhang Zifan's nerves. Lu Linxuan next to him quickly pulled him back, fearing that he would act impulsively.

Zhang Zifan tightly grasped the folding fan in his hand, veins popping out on his forehead, and said in hatred, "Li Siyuan, why do we have to say these things to each other? One day, I will seek revenge on you, and blood debt will be paid with blood."

Li Siyuan narrowed his eyes slightly, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Okay, I'll wait for that day, and I hope you won't let me down."

Seeing that Zhang Zifan could no longer suppress his anger, Su Ming hurriedly stopped him, "That's enough, Li Siyuan, if there is nothing else, you should leave first!"

Li Siyuan showed a proud smile to Zhang Zifan, bowed and said, "I obey your command." After saying that, he left without looking back.

At this time, Zhang Zifan's face turned red, and he was filled with anger. He wanted to vent but had no place to vent, so he broke the pillar of the pavilion in the yard with one palm.

The wooden pavilion lost its supporting pillars and collapsed in an instant.

Facing the murderer of his father, it was already quite good to be able to maintain this state. Su Ming could only advise: "Brother Zhang, calm down. Li Siyuan is trying to provoke you. Don't fall for his trick!"

This palm seemed to vent his anger and made him calm down a lot. Without waiting for others to speak, Zhang Zifan returned to the room.

The others wanted to go forward, but were stopped by Su Ming, "It would be useless for you to go now, so I'll go and comfort him.

When everyone saw this, they could only give up.

In the room, Zhang Zifan was lying on the bed, looking depressed.

Su Ming walked in and sat down at the table. He didn't look at him, but said to himself, "Brother Zhang, thank you for holding back for my sake."

Zhang Zifan closed his eyes and turned a deaf ear, as if he heard nothing.

Seeing that he had no reaction, Su Ming was not anxious and slowly explained the reason to him, "The reason why Li Siyuan provoked you is because he is eager to deal with me. It is exactly the same as what Yuan Tiangang did. Don't fall into his trap."

Chapter 26 Entering the Imperial City

Hearing this, Zhang Zifan suddenly opened his eyes, sat up and looked straight at Su Ming, "I know Li Siyuan is irritating me, but what do you mean by saying he is the same as Yuan Tiangang?"

As expected, it takes someone with weight to do it.
