Chapter 1255

Then he turned to look beyond the small town, his eyes deep and profound.

"Since that's the case, let's set off!"

……

……

Great Han, Tianxuan Prefecture, Luoyangcheng, the Imperial City.

At this moment, inside the imperial palace.

"Your Majesty, something terrible has happened!"

In the imperial study, Li Jiancheng was handling memorials when suddenly a black shadow rushed in and knelt to report.

"What is it?"

Li Jiancheng set down his brush, raised his head, and asked.

"Your Majesty, according to my investigation, that Hearing Gai Nie seems to have already escaped!"

"What? Hearing Gai Nie is not dead yet?"

Li Jiancheng was greatly shocked.

He had originally thought that this assassination had already cut the grass and dug up the roots—eradicating the other party completely.

He had not expected that the other party would stubbornly survive.

And moreover had run away from the imperial tomb!

"Your Majesty, that Hearing Gai Nie is an extraordinary martial artist of the jianghu, with outstanding martial skills, not easy to deal with.

You should prepare early to guard against the unexpected!"

The man in black reminded.

"Mm, I understand."

Li Jiancheng waved his hand, signaling him to withdraw.

"Yes, this minister takes his leave!"

The man in black acknowledged, bowed, and withdrew.

"I hope that this time, Hearing Gai Nie can die in Qin Ling!"

Li Jiancheng muttered to himself, his gaze sinister.

On the other side, Li Yuanji at this moment was waiting for news in the Hall of Supreme Ultimate.

At this moment, hearing the sound of footsteps, he hurriedly stood up.

He saw a squad of Embroidered Uniform Guard escorting an extremely wretched young man into the great hall.

"Reporting to Young Master Yuanji, your subordinates, by Your Majesty's order, have arrested this man and brought him to justice!"

The commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard stepped forward to report.

And that young man was none other than the bandit from Chentang Post Station.

"Oh?"

Li Yuanji raised an eyebrow:

"What is your name?"

"I am Yang Lin, paying respects to Your Majesty!"

This young man called Yang Lin now showed a respectful expression.

"So it's Brother Yang. May I know what crime you have committed?"

Li Yuanji asked.

"Reporting to Young Master Yuanji, last night on the street your subordinate was attacked by a thug and nearly lost his life.

Fortunately, I had a Heart-Protecting Mirror that guarded my heart meridian, so I narrowly escaped the disaster!"

Yang Lin's words sounded perfectly reasonable.

But hearing them, Li Yuanji felt something was not quite right.

"Yang Lin, didn't you say back then that your Heart-Protecting Mirror could preserve your life?

Now, what is going on?"

Hearing Li Yuanji's questioning, Yang Lin was so frightened that he fell to his knees with a thud, trembling all over.

Clearly terrified to the extreme.

"Young Master Yuanji, please hear your subordinate explain slowly!"

At this point, Yang Lin began to narrate in detail.

It turned out that on that day, after Li Yuanji had driven him out of the mansion, he had not forgotten the reward he had promised to give him.

So he dispatched the Embroidered Uniform Guard to give Yang Lin a batch of wealth to make up for the loss.

Who would have thought that those gold, silver, and treasures were never put to use.

Instead, they invited the wolf into the house, causing greed to arise in Yang Lin's heart.

He was originally a loose cultivator, alone and without anyone to rely on.

This money to him was like sending charcoal in the snow.

So Yang Lin quietly lurked outside Zhenbei Wang Fu.

Until yesterday evening, when Li Shimin summoned the various princes to discuss affairs, he mixed into the great hall and waited for an opportunity to act.

Only, in the end he still underestimated Li Shimin.

He was killed on the spot!

And Li Yuanji, even more furious and humiliated, ordered Zhenbei Wang Fu sealed off.

"Father is already dead, and you trash dare covet the Wang Jue position — you're simply asking to die!"

Li Yuanji's sword shattered Yang Lin's corpse.

But the venom in his heart had not lessened in the slightest; in fact, it grew thicker and thicker.

"Hmph!

Li Shimin, you killed Father. Now I'll make you die without an heir!"

Having said this, he ordered someone to summon the Li clan elder Li Ji to the Taiji Hall.

"Yuanji, I don't know why you've called me here — what is it?"

Although Li Ji was a first-rank civil official, he held great respect for Li Yuanji.

After all, the other party was his son.

"Father, I suspect Hearing Gai Nie has already returned to Luoyang!"

Li Yuanji said in a low voice.

"This Hearing Gai Nie is no cause for concern!

Besides, even if he really did escape, would he dare set foot in Luoyang?

Does he know whose territory this is?"

Li Ji said, shaking his head.

And Li Yuanji could only smile bitterly and shake his head.

"Father, I keep feeling something is off!

Our men tailed Hearing Gai Nie, and discovered that this person's Wu Gong is terrifyingly powerful!

Even the Grand Minister of Agriculture Liu Ji is no match for him!"

Li Yuanji spoke out the thing that weighed most heavily on his heart.

He vaguely felt that Hearing Gai Nie had returned this time, and the Pashi Society would surely raise a monstrous storm!

"Yuanji, you're overthinking it.

A mere martial artist — even if he's a Congenital expert, how could he possibly compare to the Grand Commandant Liu Ji?"

Li Ji said lightly.

As the head of the Three Dukes, he commanded a powerful army and possessed overwhelming strength.

In this Luoyangcheng, apart from His Majesty the Emperor Li Er and Grand Preceptor Wen Zhong.

He was the only Great Grandmaster Realm expert!

"But….
