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

In a blink of an eye, the two had exchanged dozens of moves, and neither could do anything to the other.

Seeing this, Su Ming stopped and looked at Li Xingyun and asked coldly, "The world is divided and the people are living in poverty. As a direct descendant of the Tang Dynasty royal family, why do you turn a deaf ear to this? Why don't you accept your mission? Do you know how many people's expectations are placed on you?"

However, in response to Su Ming's question, Li Xingyun replied, "The feudal states in the world have their own agendas. It is not possible for the people to be satisfied and the world to be at peace just because there is an emperor with the surname Li."

In response to this answer, Su Ming sneered, "Humph, you are so naive, so naive that it's laughable!"

"The Tang Dynasty has already perished. Why should we bring it back to life if it has already collapsed?"

"Li Xingyun, do you know how much preparation the Marshal has made for you? Originally, when you were in Luoyang, Zhu Yougui and Zhu Wen, father and son, died. You should have taken this opportunity to reveal your identity, overthrow the Liang Kingdom, and restore the Tang Dynasty."

"Li Keyong, the Prince of Jin, and Li Cunxu are already dead bones in the tomb. They cannot escape death. Once they die, Jin will be in chaos. You can use the military power of the Tang Dynasty to easily take over the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun."

"Qi is a small country, and the King of Qi can only defend it. If you bring the forces of Liang and Jin to the city, the King of Qi will have no choice but to surrender. By then, the north will be unified, and there will be no need to worry about the restoration of the Tang Dynasty."

"But, the Marshal had made all kinds of calculations, but he didn't expect that you, Li Xingyun, would be a hopeless case. Such a good opportunity was wasted, and in the end, it benefited Li Siyuan."

"The sooner the war ends, the sooner the people can resume their normal lives. As long as you unify the world, there is no need to worry about not winning the support of the people!" The cold words were loud and clear, echoing in the hall.

Chapter 6: Great Heavenly Level Power, Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms!

Just a few words silenced Yuan Tiangang in the back hall. He recalled that he had been secretly planning for the Tang Dynasty since the Anshi Rebellion, but successive emperors were wary of him and did not allow him to participate in court affairs, which caused the situation to deteriorate step by step.

Even if Yuan Tiangang could kill all those military governors who ruled a certain area, what would that do?

People's morale is low and it will not be restored overnight. Those military governors do not represent one person but a group of interest groups. If one is killed, there will be others to take his place.

There are many ambitious people in the world. Can he kill them all?

In the end, he could only watch step by step as the military governors from various places fought openly and secretly, maintaining a situation of fighting but not breaking, and tacitly eroding the power of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

Why did the Tang Dynasty fall and Emperor Zhaozong die? All of this was within his calculations.

At that time, the Tang Dynasty was in a precarious situation. Even if it was maintained, it could only last for a few decades. It was better to take advantage of the fact that its foundation was still there, destroy it and then rebuild it, and be reborn from the ashes, rather than being slowly devoured by the military governors and perished.

Sure enough, everything happened as Yuan Tiangang had expected. After the fall of the Tang Dynasty, the military governors of various places turned against each other and fought each other, which eventually led to a situation of contention between Liang and Jin. Under his influence, Qi King Li Maozhen also became obsessed with the Longquan treasure and traveled to Miaojiang, unable to influence the overall situation.

The south was even more divided among warlords and had no power to look north.

During these decades, he had been secretly planning and waiting for the day to reap the fruits of his labor. As long as he wanted, Daliang and Jin would change in an instant.

Li Xingyun was the person he arranged to pick the fruits. He had calculated everything and worked hard but he did not expect that something would go wrong at the last step.

In the Hall of Eternal Life, Li Xingyun stared at Su Ming, very angry, and said with gritted teeth, "What do you know? That was just a superficial submission. How could unifying the world be so easy? If Yuan Tiangang could unify the world by killing a few people, would the Tang Dynasty have fallen to this point today?"

"To unify the world, we don't rely on the Bad Guys, I, Li Xingyun, or Yuan Tiangang! We rely on the wisdom of uniting all the people in the world and following their wishes!"

Seeing Li Xingyun's righteous and awe-inspiring look, as if he knew everything, Su Ming laughed in his heart, "Forget it, I don't want to talk anymore. When you are talking, the whole hall is filled with stupidity."

"I really don't understand why the smart commander would arrange such a stupid person to back up his plan."

Mentioning Yuan Tiangang, Li Xingyun's face became even gloomier, "Humph, Yuan Tiangang, he is just surrendering on the surface, he just wants to use me."

At this moment, Su Ming looked at Li Xingyun with a look full of pity and sympathy. "In this world, being used means you are valuable. If a person is not even qualified to be used, that is truly tragic. If you don't even understand this, I doubt how you have grown to this age."

As if stimulated by his gaze, Li Xingyun became furious, but he didn't know how to refute, so he could only shout loudly, "Yuan Tiangang! Come out and see me!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a figure suddenly appeared in the hall and bowed to the ground, "General Buliang pays respect to His Highness."

Seeing Yuan Tiangang again after half a year, Li Xingyun was filled with hatred, "Yuan Tiangang, is the Witch King your man? Was it your order to cast the curse on Xue'er?"

Seeing him like this, Yuan Tiangang sighed inwardly, if this kid could use the energy he spent on women to fight for world domination, there would be no need to worry about the Tang Dynasty's fall.

He nodded slightly, "Your Highness is indeed smart. He actually guessed it."

Hearing this, Su Ming on the side was speechless. If Li Xingyun couldn't even guess this, he might as well just hit himself to death with a piece of tofu.

Afterwards, Su Ming watched coldly as Yuan Tiangang told Li Xingyun about the Anshi era, using the story of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang and Yang Guifei to criticize him.

It's a pity that even though Su Ming had explained the situation and assisted Yuan Tiangang before, Li Xingyun still seemed adamant and refused to follow Yuan Tiangang's idea of ​​becoming emperor.

Seeing this scene, Su Ming almost laughed out loud. Yuan Tiangang must be very tired at this moment. He had planned so much, but he didn't expect to meet such a person.

But is Yuan Tiangang a good person? He had already made clear arrangements for Li Xingyun.

Li Xingyun's resolute attitude stimulated him. Yuan Tiangang glanced at Su Ming next to him and made a decision in his heart: Since you don't agree, I have to force you to do it!

Afterwards, he asked Li Xingyun to do something for him. As long as Li Xingyun agreed, he would agree to let him and Ji Ruxue retire to the mountains together.

For Ji Ruxue and to get rid of Yuan Tiangang, Li Xingyun didn't think much and agreed without hesitation.

This scene made Su Ming shake his head. This guy, didn’t he even ask what the conditions were?

It turns out that people who are favored are fearless.

Li Xingyun had just agreed when his vision suddenly went dark and he lost consciousness.

Yuan Tiangang watched him fall to the ground without offering a hand to help him. He stared at him for a long time before retracting his gaze and shifting his attention to Su Ming. "Since he doesn't want that seat, I'll let it go to you. Don't let me down!"

Su Ming was extremely excited. He quickly knelt down on one knee, bowed and said, "Thank you, Marshal. I will not let you down!" The moment he lowered his head, he couldn't help but smile. The opportunity had finally come.

When he looked up again, he found that Yuan Tiangang had disappeared, and Ji Ruxue and Li Xingyun on the ground were also taken away by him.

At this moment, a mechanical voice sounded in his mind, [The progress of the fake Li Xingyun has reached 50%, and he will be rewarded with the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms, a body immune to all poisons, and great heavenly power.]

The system rewards are so generous?

The gift package that came knocked him out at once, and endless joy surged in his heart. Su Ming thought, "Get the reward!"

[System rewards have been issued, please check! ]

The next moment, a vast amount of true energy appeared out of thin air in Su Ming's body, starting from his dantian and flowing through his limbs, bones, and eight extraordinary meridians. During this process, many acupoints in his body were opened one by one, forming a great circulation.

Su Ming sat cross-legged on the ground with his five hearts facing the sky. When this true energy was completely absorbed by him, he was surprised to find that his internal strength had increased several times.

The power of the Great Heaven Realm is indeed extraordinary.

At the same time, the key points and formulas of the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms also appeared clearly in his mind, as if he had practiced them countless times and had already memorized them by heart.

The Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms is the famous martial art of Hong Qigong and Guo Jing. It is an extremely tough and powerful external palm technique. The method of exerting force is extremely ingenious, and the changes between hardness and softness are integrated into one.

With the power of the Great Heavenly Rank and the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms, he is more confident about the next action.

Although he still couldn't beat Yuan Tiangang, he could still compete with other people on the stage.

Su Ming let out a long breath, and the invisible pressure on his heart suddenly disappeared a lot.

Chapter 7 Khitans Appear in Tianshi Mansion

He did not leave the underground palace, but took out some bottles and jars from his arms, removed the mask on his face and began to change his appearance. The original fake Li Xingyun's identity was revealed because the biggest flaw was revealed on his face.

Meng Po's disguise skills are unparalleled in the world. Not to mention getting wet, even if she falls into the river she won't change at all.

After practicing for this period of time, his disguise skills have improved a lot. He will no longer be exposed when exposed to water, and he may not be good enough to pretend to be someone else.

But when playing the role of Li Xingyun, there will be no flaws. Their heights and builds are exactly the same, and their voices and even movement habits are exactly the same. Now there will not be the slightest clue from his facial features.

Su Ming changed into Li Xingyun's clothes, including the pendant around his neck, exactly the same. He then opened the mechanism of the underground palace and left.

Outside the underground palace was a mass grave, extremely desolate.

Su Ming was just about to leave when he found three different pairs of footprints on the ground. Yuan Tiangang and himself had arrived here two days ago and would not leave any traces. Besides Li Xingyun and Ji Ruxue, was there anyone else here last night?

Su Ming pondered for a moment and remembered that it was Li Xingyun's sworn brother, Li Cunyi, who had also followed him. He seemed to be secretly observing him nearby at this moment.

If you want to watch it, go ahead.

Su Ming shook his head, found the horse that Li Xingyun had parked nearby, and rode onto the official road.

On the third day, Li Cunyi finally couldn't help himself and showed up when he got off his horse to rest. "My dear brother, you left a letter, which made me look for it very hard."

Su Ming knew that he had been following him all the way, so he pretended to be unaware and said, "Brother Dabai, Xue'er and I have important things to do. We have to leave in a hurry. Please forgive us."

Li Dabai picked his nose, opened his broken folding fan, and smiled awkwardly, "No, no. By the way, where is your sister-in-law? Why isn't she with you?"

He knew where Li Xingyun had been, and Su Ming also knew that he knew where Li Xingyun had been. If the two did not tell the truth when they met, they would be exposed. This was why the original fake Li Xingyun was suspected.

But how could Su Ming reveal such a flaw? Moreover, there was nothing wrong with saying it. It was a well-known fact that he, Li Xingyun, was involved with the Bad Commander.

So, Su Ming started to act.

He sighed first, then shook his head, his expression became depressed, "Xue'er, she's with Yuan Tiangang."

Li Dabai waved his folding fan faster and asked in surprise, "What? Brother, you actually handed your sister-in-law to Yuan Tiangang?"

Su Ming nodded, looking disappointed. "In this world, only Yuan Tiangang can bring the dead back to life. He is the only one who can undo what he did to Xue'er. The witchcraft Chi Meng mentioned is not reliable at all. I can only look for him."

"By the way, let's hurry to Xuanwu Mountain. I sent the Longquan Sword to Xuanwu Mountain just in case. It should be almost there by now."

After listening to Su Ming's words, the doubts lingering in Li Cunyi's heart dissipated a lot. Although he still felt that something was wrong, he couldn't say what it was.

"Okay, let's hurry up, your sister and Zhang Zifan are getting married soon, we can't be absent."

Then, the two of them quickly rushed towards Xuanwu Mountain.

······

Xuanwu Mountain, Tianshi Mansion.

The Tianshi Mansion is located by the mountains and rivers, with a grand scale and extraordinary momentum.

There are camphor trees in the palace, which shade the sun, and birds roost on the treetops, creating a quiet environment. The pines are tall and green, the flowers are luxuriant, the grasses are entwined, and birds and animals walk in the forest. The palace is located on the cliff, built against the mountain and repaired beside the cliff, with a staggered layout and a masterpiece of nature.

Palaces, ancient trees, rocks and mountains complement each other, full of ancient charm, and fully demonstrate the unity of man and nature.

Because Taoism originated among mountains, swamps and wilderness, Taoists pursue a state of transcendence, tranquility and inaction. Therefore, there are many rare flowers and famous trees in the Tianshi Mansion to enhance its beauty, making it seem like a fairyland.

However, recently, the fairy-like Tianshi Mansion seems to be falling down to earth, with lights and decorations, red flowers to welcome guests, and joy all over the sky.

Because Zhang Zifan, the Heavenly Master of the Heavenly Master's Mansion, is about to get married.

After Su Ming and Li Cun Yi arrived at Xuanwu Mountain, they slowed down their pace, rested for a day in the inn at the foot of the mountain, and started climbing the mountain early the next morning.

This was his first time to come to the Heavenly Master's Mansion. As Su Ming walked, he admired the scenery here and was amazed. "I didn't expect that Zhang Zifan had such a large family business. He is worthy of being a Heavenly Master."

Li Cunyi drank his wine, his face flushed, "Tianshi Mansion has been passed down for hundreds of years, this whole mountain belongs to them, plus the rewards from successive emperors, they are very rich. Compared with this, Li Siyuan's Tongwenguan is really far behind."

On the mountain road, a disciple of the Tianshi Mansion wearing a Taoist robe was guarding here. When he saw them, he hurried forward and said, "Sir, my Tianshi is about to get married. I'm sorry that we can't welcome outsiders. Please forgive me."

Su Ming smiled and revealed his identity, "My name is Li Xingyun, and I'm Lu Linxuan's senior brother."

The disciples of Tianshi Mansion were stunned for a moment, then became enthusiastic, "So it's Master Li, please come in, please come in! The Master told us to wait here a long time ago, and we finally got you here."

Passing through the memorial archway outside the mountain and passing through the palace attic, they finally reached the ancestral temple of the Tianshi Mansion.

As soon as they came up, they found that there were many people here, no less than a thousand at a glance.

Su Ming's eyes swept over them and found that they were all burly and strong, with a fierce aura all over their bodies. Their clothes and hairstyles did not look like those from the Central Plains.
