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

Even though no one forced him to drink today, he still drank quite a bit at the banquet.

Looking at the lights in the night, Su Ming looked slightly tipsy, with a hint of drunkenness in his eyes. He did not use his internal energy to evaporate the alcohol in his body. Today was a big day, so he might as well get drunk.

This is the first time I’ve gotten married in my two lifetimes.

With light steps, Su Ming stepped into the Qinyan Palace in the harem. Palace maids in palace skirts were waiting outside the door. When they saw him coming, they bowed and saluted.

"Stand up, you guys stay here, and you'll all be rewarded tomorrow."

Upon hearing this, the palace maids were delighted and smiled. No matter how good the things were, they could not compare to money, so they all kowtowed and expressed their gratitude.

The palace gate opened, and Yelu Zhiwu, who was sitting on the couch, trembled her delicate body, her eyelashes trembled, and she felt both anticipation and fear in her heart.

The sound of footsteps came closer and closer. Su Ming slowly came to the bed. The personal maid waiting beside him served him a glass of wine. He handed the wine glass to Yelu Zhiwu and looked at her gently.

"Yelüzhiwu, let's drink."

Feeling a little embarrassed by his gaze, Yelu Zhiwu lowered her eyes slightly and did not look him in the eye. She responded softly, but glanced at him shyly while drinking the Hekan wine, her pretty face blushing.

"You guys can go down. There's no need to serve here." Then Su Ming ordered the personal maid beside him to leave.

The maids looked embarrassed. They came with the princess as a dowry and only listened to Yelu Zhiwu's words.

Yelu Zhiwu finally mustered up the courage to look Su Ming in the face. He glanced at them inconspicuously and said in a deep voice, "You can go down."

She already anticipated what would happen next.

"Yes." The maids quickly retreated, and soon, only the two of them were left in Qinyan Palace.

Su Ming did not rush forward in a hurry, but took her hand and walked to the wine table beside and sat down, "You must have been hungry all day, eat something to fill your stomach."

It was very troublesome to change clothes for this kind of ceremony, so they didn't eat before the ceremony began. At most they had some honey to fill their stomachs.

After saying that, he picked up a few pieces of food for Yelu Zhiwu, and then took a bite himself. After finishing, he frowned and said, "The food is a little cold, but it's getting late now, and it's too late to ask the kitchen to heat it up. Let's just make do with it for now."

Yelu Zhiwu seemed to be stunned, like a doll being manipulated by someone. She sat there, staring at Su Ming blankly. She didn't expect that he brought her here just to eat.

Then she picked up the bowl and chopsticks obediently, her expression relaxed, and there was a smile in her eyes. This feeling seemed not bad, not as hurried as expected.

As the two of them ate and passed food to each other, the tense atmosphere gradually eased and everything fell into place.

In the middle of the night, a delicate cry of pain was heard from the hall, followed by the sound of whimpering.

The next day, Su Ming woke up slowly, but saw Yelu Zhiwu in his arms with her eyelashes trembling and her face slightly red, obviously she had woken up a long time ago. He knew that she was thin-skinned, so he kissed her lightly on the forehead and got up.

Not long after he left, Yelu Zhiwu, with the help of her maid, struggled to get up. When she saw the plum blossoms on the white silk, her face turned red with shame and she almost buried her head in the quilt.

……

On an isolated island overseas, Yuan Tiangang stood at the bow with his hands behind his back. Under his bamboo hat, his gloomy eyes looked towards the Central Plains, like a pool of water, with no way to tell how deep it was.

Mirror Heart Demon walked behind him and said respectfully, "General, the hexagram is out."

"Speak." The voice was hoarse and as calm as ever.

"The life gate of the character Gen is tightly closed, while the injury gate of the character Zhen is wide open. The future is uncertain. This is a very bad omen!" Jing Xin Mo said as he looked at Yuan Tiangang cautiously, as if he wanted to see something in his eyes.

Unfortunately, he was disappointed. All he could see was that deep gaze, which seemed like it would never change in his life.

"A bad omen?"

After hearing this hexagram, there was no emotion in Yuan Tiangang's eyes. He just repeated it lightly and there was no further action.

After reporting, Jing Xin Mo left tactfully, leaving him alone in the cabin.

After the Mirror Heart Demon left, Yuan Tiangang's calm eyes suddenly changed, showing some doubts and excitement, "Back then, I calculated that there would be an inevitable death disaster in the future, and this disaster should be caused by me personally, so how come the door of injury is opened and the disaster of calamity appears again?"

"This is a very dangerous situation where you will definitely die. It's too dangerous and too dangerous. Maybe you can turn things around, survive from the dead, and find a glimmer of hope?"

He was mentally prepared for the situation in the Central Plains. When the Longquan treasure came out, those princes would certainly not be able to sit still. At that time, he would have to settle accounts with them!

There are some things he wanted to do a long time ago. In the past, before the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, he was still cautious and did not dare to act rashly. Now that the Tang Dynasty has been restored, those powerful and ambitious guys can no longer stay.

Take this opportunity to kill them all!

As long as they die, the Jiedushi government will be in chaos and will no longer be able to hinder the court, and the Tang Dynasty will have a chance to breathe again. Thinking of this, a cold light flashed in Yuan Tiangang's eyes.

Even if he faces death, he will drag those people to be buried with him!

At the same time, Li Xingyun was walking with Ji Ruxue on the island, recalling every detail of the past year. It was the sad farewell of the young couple.

Ji Ruxue leaned in his arms and said softly, "Xingyun, how great would it be if we could really stay here forever?"

Li Xingyun hugged his waist and comforted him softly, "Xue'er, don't worry, when this matter is settled, we will come back and live a secluded life together. No one will disturb us anymore."

Chapter 184 The Bad Guy Who Helped in Secret

The next day, Li Xingyun and Ji Ruxue stood at the bow, watching the island getting farther and farther away from them, gradually disappearing from their sight. Their eyes were filled with reluctance and nostalgia.

In the cabin, Yuan Tiangang was receiving intelligence from Jing Xin Mo and examining it carefully. However, he did not get the information he wanted to see. A few months ago, he sent a message to Twelve Caves to let Li Maozhen go out of the mountain.

It was thought that Li Maozhen's reappearance would bring different changes to the political situation, but Yuan Tiangang obviously did not expect that Su Ming could actually subdue Li Maozhen and use him for his own purposes.

As long as Li Maozhen did not show up, the empress would be as stable as a rock on the throne of King Qi, Li Siyuan would not be able to stir up trouble, the court was stable, and the emperor's wedding was held as scheduled.

From the message conveyed by the Bad Guys' spies, Yuan Tiangang seemed to be able to see the grand and solemn scene of the emperor's wedding that day, with the whole city filled with red, which was rarely seen in the world.

Suddenly, he felt strange to that person, as if he had never seen him clearly. The boy who had always followed him and called him "Boss" had achieved something that even he had dreamed of in just one year.

If you put yourself in his shoes, if he were to do it himself, he might not be able to do better than him.

Yuan Tiangang sighed and gently squeezed the secret letter in his hand, which was turned into powder by his internal force. "It seems that I underestimated you. Using the empress to control Li Maozhen is certainly a good move, but unfortunately, it is all external force and cannot be relied on."

Every time Yuan Tiangang saw news about him, he felt uncomfortable. Why wasn't he the one chosen in the first place?

Among the sons of Emperor Zhaozong, except for the chosen Li Xingyun, all the others were treated as abandoned pawns and killed by Zhu Wen. Only this person of Li Tang bloodline, who had not been on the royal list since birth, was hidden by himself and used as a chess piece.

Originally, he wanted to use him to conceal his tracks and block the knife for Li Xingyun at the critical moment, but Yuan Tiangang did not expect that Li Xingyun was so disappointing and had no ambition at all, and had no intention of reviving the Tang Dynasty.

As a last resort, Yuan Tiangang could only activate his spare tire and use him as a substitute to stimulate Li Xingyun, so that he could cheer up again and shoulder his responsibilities.

However, at this point, Li Xingyun actually chose to escape and retired from the world with Ji Ruxue.

Even someone as powerful as Yuan Tiangang still had a headache with Li Xingyun. In the end, he had no choice but to bully the emperor. If Li Xingyun wanted to retreat, he would never agree!

"Mirror Heart Demon, send a message to Meng Po immediately and ask her to come over."

Knowing yourself and your enemy, he wanted to see what that person had done in the past year.

There are many things that cannot be understood simply by looking at the words on paper. He needs someone to help him sort out the key points so that he can make plans for the next step.

If other bad guys knew about this, they would be shocked.

How is it possible that the bad commander would give in?

Yuan Tiangang believed in hegemony and never tolerated any objections when doing things. He was arbitrary and dictatorial. However, what Su Ming did in Luoyang forced Yuan Tiangang to compromise with the plan he had made.

This moment, that moment.

In the past, the Bad Guys organization led by Yuan Tiangang had been developing in secret, and all the plans were centered around Li Xingyun. Since he came down the mountain, the plan has been proceeding in an orderly manner.

All along, there was someone secretly following and monitoring Li Xingyun to make sure that nothing would happen to him. Although Zhu Yougui's camp seemed to be full of dangers at first, there was no life-threatening danger to him at all.

The Xuanming Sect has become a branch of the Bad People. Isn't Zhu Yougui's camp safer than in Luoyang?

However, the plan came to a standstill due to Li Xingyun's non-cooperation, and was even in danger of being interrupted. For this reason, Yuan Tiangang had to slow down his pace again and again to get Li Xingyun back on track.

You know, according to Yuan Tiangang's plan, he should have already started to eliminate the vassal states and princes in the Central Plains by this time.

Fortunately, this stalled plan made rapid progress with the unexpected birth of the fake Li Xingyun. Not only was the Tang Dynasty successfully restored, but the emperor also gained a lot of good reputation. He even negotiated with the Khitan in the north and selected daughters of military governors from all over the country to enrich the harem and establish connections.

Although it seemed that Su Ming was leading every step, in fact, there were still countless bad people working hard in secret.

From gathering information, to selecting concubines, to preparing for the emperor's wedding, all the bad guys in the Central Plains have been silently contributing to this. Even without Yuan Tiangang's orders, they are willing to do so.

People are not machines. Everyone has his own feelings and persistence. The Bad Guys were given the mission of reviving the Tang Dynasty by Yuan Tiangang.

Not only him, the Bad Leader, but all the Bad People are working hard for this.

Few of the Bad People knew about the fake Li Xingyun. Only a handful of the Thirty-Six Captains of the Tiangang knew about it. The lower-level Bad People had no idea that the man sitting on the dragon throne in Luoyang City was the fake Li Xingyun.

They only knew that the Tang Dynasty was restored and the emperor ascended the throne, so they naturally served the emperor, silently doing their best to help the emperor accomplish what he wanted to do.

Meng Po knew this very well, but she did not mention it to Yuan Tiangang.

As for Yuan Tiangang, he stands too high and too far away from the lower-level Bad People. How could he possibly care about the thoughts of the lower-level members of the Bad People?

In his eyes, there is only the general situation of the world and Li Xingyun!

Thanks to many coincidences, Su Ming was able to turn the impossible into possible. Otherwise, with the few people he had, he would not have been able to accomplish so many big things.

Many times, the court's decrees were well-intentioned, but the people below would always distort them when carrying them out. With the involvement of bad people, the imperial examination promoted by Su Ming was successfully completed without any scandals such as cheating by candidates or favoritism by examiners.

You know, even in the Ming and Qing dynasties, cheating in imperial examinations could not be stopped despite repeated bans.

With the limited manpower Su Ming had, he actually accomplished such a big thing. It really cannot be judged by luck. It was precisely because of the help of the bad guys that he was able to get to where he is today.

Even Li Xingyun from the Sixth Land was able to mobilize the remaining Bad People to disrupt the world situation and even killed Li Siyuan. Not to mention that the Bad People are still a complete organization and have not been hunted down and killed by Li Siyuan.

Even Yuan Tiangang didn't think of this at the time.

He would never have expected that Su Ming could sit so firmly on the throne of the emperor, and could scare Li Siyuan into backing down with just a fictitious tiger skin.

However, with the arrival of the real Li Xingyun, the help that the Bad People bring to Su Ming will come to an abrupt end, and the only cards he can use are those around him.

The Imperial Guards and the Embroidered Uniform Guards are not absolutely reliable and cannot gain his trust.

If he can't get past Yuan Tiangang, there's no point in thinking about the future. But for this day, Su Ming has already prepared!

Chapter 185 Actually, I am not the real Li Xingyun

In the harem, Chi Meng was looking at Yelu Zhiwu with envy in her eyes, "Are you a Khitan princess?"

Yelu Zhiwu no longer dressed like a grassland woman, but changed into palace clothes. Her hair was tied into a bun like a noble lady, and she wore a step-shaking ornament and a phoenix hairpin, looking bright and charming.

"Well, who are you, little sister?" Yelu Zhiwu nodded with a puzzled look on her face.

Although Chi Meng had potential hostility towards Yelu Zhiwu, she also knew that she couldn't be petty. "My name is Chi Meng, and I come from the Raojiang Poison Cave. Miss, your skin is so good."

"The Poison Cave? What is that place?"

"It's in the mountains south of Shu, very far away from Luoyang. Sister, if you come to Raojiang in the future, you must visit our Wandu Cave." Chi Meng stepped forward and took Yelu Zhiwu's arm affectionately, saying with a smile.

Yelu Zhiwu couldn't refuse, so he could only nod as if he understood.

On the other side, Su Ming and the empress came to a secret place.

The heavy door slowly opened with the sound of a mechanism, revealing a dark passage.
