Chapter 149
Mo's appearance may have really given him hope...
But when I thought about it, I didn't think of much.
However, the emperor could have openly appointed Chixiao as the national advisor, but secretly allowed Li Mo to seduce Princess Yuhua. Even the matter of seizing Xie Yuan's body was initiated by Princess Yuhua, but he ignored it. He has cut off all contact and hid behind the scenes. Are you afraid of something?
Speaking of Princess Yuhua, I was a little curious.
That "filthy" Dao Wen came from a breath essence of an unknown existence in the previous world. Although it has been weakened tens of millions of times, just seeing that Li Mo's four clones died suddenly at the same time, one should know that this Daowen's ability is still extremely strong. However, Princess Yuhua is still alive and kicking, and there is no news of her death in the palace so far.
...Is this because Princess Yuhua is special, or do all children of luck have such abilities? Is it Princess Yuhua herself or the power of luck that restrains the spread of filth?
...Would you like to catch him one day and take a look?
...No, let’s not arrest him yet. If the guess is correct, there is cooperation between the emperor and Li Mo, but this cooperation is only based on interests. With Li Mo's current situation and letting the emperor know his weakness, he might be Li Sanyuan again.
Especially since there is Princess Yuhua inside who doesn't know anything. If these two people really start fighting among themselves, the situation will definitely become very interesting.
The idea of causing trouble was about to come up, but his face was still calm, and he only smiled lightly at Yuan Liu: "Want to take revenge?"
Yuan Liu was startled for a moment, then smiled bitterly.
"Yes, of course I do. In the past fourteen years, this junior has not wanted to take revenge all the time. I thought that now I have some strength, and I have figured out the hidden power of the royal family, but if there is someone else beside Da Xiazi, The Great Demon..."
"The big demon is already dead."
Yuan Liu said in surprise: "It's useless?"
He just blurted out, and saw that the man in Tsing Yi in front of him still had a calm face, and said lightly: "He wanted to take my body, but I was crippled."
Yuan Liu opened his eyes wide and couldn't believe it.
Of course, it's not that he didn't believe what Yuan Buwei said. With this guy's strength, it's not surprising that he could destroy a great demon. What he couldn't believe was that there was such a stupid monster in this world? !
Although the man in front of him looks like a frail scholar, he has an indifferent and easy-going attitude, and the evil spirit around him has condensed into substance. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is a peerless demon. There are actually some unscrupulous monsters who want to snatch each other's bodies, and this is not the case for seeking death...
His heart was shaken, and Yuan Liu's head hung even lower: "What does that senior mean..."
"Just follow your previous plan, continue to test, no, you should continue to provoke..." Yuan Buwei said slowly, "Just telling the story of Li Sanyuan in a restaurant and teahouse is not enough, this force is too light. ”
"——We need to take a heavy blow and let someone know that Li Sanyuan's matter is not over yet and someone is here to take revenge."
Yuan Buqi raised the corners of her lips, and her tone was pleasant and brisk: "For example, the ending of the story last time should be changed. But the shock of death from illness is not enough. If it were changed to Li Sanyuan eating the sky, Xuan If the secret of Kaizhi is discovered by the prince, the story behind it will definitely be more attractive and interesting. "
With that said, Yuan Buwei gave several different versions of the ending casually. They were all caused by the crown prince's greed, assassinating Li Sanyuan, burning Yandang Mountain... just different versions. The prince's methods were different, and the Li Sanyuan in his mouth also experienced several different ways of death.
The more Yuan Liu listened, the more confused he became, and his eyes opened wider and wider. In the end, the eyes he looked at Yuan Buwei were filled with subtle fear and a little admiration.
There is no such thing as him. He talks about conspiracies and tricks, how to deceive people and harm others. He is really endlessly inspired. One thing follows another, and all of them are logical and self-consistent. It is as if he has experienced it himself and is very skilled. Similar.
"What do you want me to do?" Yuan Buwei smiled, "I'm good at my old job. I used to write a storybook when I had nothing to do. Oh, there seems to be a storybook that was made into a drama."
Yuan Liu was completely speechless.
...Okay, whatever you say is what it is.
From the next day, a legendary story spread in the capital. The protagonist of the story was naturally a character who was born stupid but became wise after swallowing a spiritual fruit.
This story is quite legendary. After being adapted by Yuan Buwei, it has become even more ups and downs and very vivid. There are monsters who repay favors, fools who enlighten their wisdom, and there are also scholars whose family fortunes have fallen into decline, who rose to prominence by weightlifting, married princesses, and revitalized their family businesses. Many people listened with interest. Until the sudden turning point at the end, the protagonist's secret is exposed and he is assassinated by the prince. Yandang Mountain is also surrounded and suppressed, ending in a miserable end. Those who were excited just now were suddenly moved by their emotions and showed resentment.
"...This is impossible? People died like this? Didn't the evil-hearted prince in the story get the greatest benefit and become the emperor? The story is indeed nonsense. How can such a person deserve it? Be the leader of a country!”
"You can't say it like that. Don't you think this story is a bit familiar? It's a coincidence. Back then, Li Sanyuan was just like the protagonist in this story, a young and smart man with amazing talent and beauty, and he even married a princess. ? However, our Majesty is not the black-hearted prince in the storybook..."
"Your Majesty, you dare to talk about it, you don't want your life..."
In a few days, this ups and downs legendary story spread throughout the capital. Behind it was the power accumulated by Yuan Liu for many years, and the story itself was so wonderful that many people sang it by word of mouth.
When the emperor learned the news from the secret guard, the content of the story had already spread throughout the capital.
Looking at the handwritten storybook presented, especially the stories with strong indicative stories in the storybook, the murdered Li surnamed champion, the greedy and shameless prince who secretly harmed his brother and brother-in-law, and the Yandang Mountain demon who was killed because of repaying a favor and exposing his hiding place... The emperor's face became gloomy little by little.
Ordinary people don't know the truth and just think this story is interesting, but ministers who are in high positions and have more intelligence will associate it, and for the emperor himself, this is undoubtedly a slap in his face from a distance.
He exerted force with his fingers and accidentally tore the paper. The coldness in his eyes did not dissipate.
...Few people know what happened back then, and those who know so many details and inside stories are already obvious.
"The remnants of Yandang Mountain? Fourteen years ago, it seems that two of them escaped..." If the emperor's anger was only seven-tenths false and three-tenths true because of Yuan Buwei's several rejections of marriage, then now he is undoubtedly completely enraged, "You escaped by luck, but you don't hide well, and you take the initiative to deliver yourself to the door. I will help you."
He called out the leader of the secret guards: "Investigate for me. Find out where the source of these stories came from!"
In addition to sending people to track down clues, there is actually another force that can be used-
The emperor looked hesitantly in the direction of Princess Yuhua's bedroom, his eyes changing.
In theory, if Li Mo's plan succeeded, he should have appeared in front of him as Xie Yuan and Princess Yuhua last time, but he didn't. Daozhen Temple also had an accident at the same time, and everyone died.
-Something must have happened to Li Mo!
Princess Yuhua had been evasive and lied before, saying that something had happened to the formation, Xie Yuan had been teleported away, and would come back in a few days. Most likely, it was Li Mo who taught her to say that. To the emperor, Princess Yuhua was just a tool used by Li Mo to pass on messages. The emperor understood his meaning accurately, and the key point was to wait a few more days.
It seemed that possessing Xie Yuan was not going well, and Li Mo had found a place to hide on purpose. Would it take a few more days to succeed?
The emperor understood this. The two were just a cooperative relationship. When something unexpected happened, and it was at the main court of the palace, Li Mo was worried about him, so he hid himself at the first time and wanted to come out after solving the unexpected situation. No problem, he could wait.
But now that the other party has not appeared for a long time, and no news has been sent out, the emperor has become a little suspicious.
Could it be that this unexpected situation is very serious and Li Mo can't solve it at all? The so-called waiting a few more days is just a delaying tactic? ④This④work④is④provided④for④online④reading④by④think④tu④.com
"...It's better to try it out."
Thinking like this, the emperor stood up from behind the throne.
"I wonder if there's any news from Yuhua..."
...
Half an hour later, as the emperor disappeared from Princess Yuhua's residence, Princess Yuhua, who had just sent the emperor away with a smile on her face, returned to the bedroom, and the smile on her face gradually faded, turning into a puzzled look.
"Strange. What exactly did father come here for today? Why does he always ask about irrelevant things? He even cares about when the orchid planted in my palace will bloom." Princess Yuhua muttered in confusion, and then showed a look of uneasiness, "Also, father seems to still be thinking about the immortal fate I mentioned, and has been thinking about finding Xie Yuan again... I followed what you taught me, Amo, and I didn't know anything about it. Father doesn't seem to be very happy."
She was worried: "But I really don't know where Xie Yuan went He has hurt you so badly, Ah Mo. Why don't I confess to my father and let him send someone to capture Xie Yuan? Ah Mo, don't worry, I won't tell anyone about your existence. Just say that I wanted to seize Xie Yuan's immortal seed, but let him escape. "
Li Mo hurriedly said, "Not appropriate. I lied in a hurry last time, and you changed your words now, which will easily make His Majesty realize that something is wrong. Just pretend you know nothing."
... He saw the emperor's intention very clearly, just to test his current situation. The emperor knew the relationship between him and Yuhua better. If Yuhua really said so, showing hatred and disgust for Xie Yuan, the emperor would most likely guess that his possession failed. What's worse, if the emperor really sent someone to find Xie Yuan, he would probably learn about his situation from the other party, and it would be more likely to cooperate with the big demon to deal with him in turn.
These concerns have been lingering in Li Mo's heart, which is why he pretended to be Princess Yuhua to deceive the emperor before. It was originally a cooperation of interests, and the difference between friend and foe was only a thought away. He must not expose his true situation!
Princess Yuhua heard him say this and responded sullenly: "It's all Xie Yuan's fault, no, it's that big demon who deliberately set a trap to lure us, so insidious!"
The emperor's test also made Li Mo a little anxious. If he continued to play missing, the emperor would probably not be at peace. Princess Yuhua was a fool, and the emperor might find out the truth one day. At that time, his safety would depend on the emperor's thought.
A strong sense of crisis burst out in his heart. Li Mo did not comfort Princess Yuhua, but only said: "This is not a solution. I have to find a way to get out as soon as possible."
As soon as these words came out, Princess Yuhua's expression changed slightly.
The so-called method is naturally to separate a trace of the demon soul, separate from Princess Yuhua, and try to enter the bodies of other palace servants in various ways to see if they can survive. This is to try the lives of those palace servants!
In just a few days, five people have died. If Princess Yuhua had not controlled her palace well and concealed it with other reasons, and the emperor did not care about the death of several servants in her palace, all this would have been exposed long ago.
Now Li Mo wants to speed up the progress, which means that more attempts will be made and more people will die.
Recalling the weird scenes of those people who had distorted faces and committed suicide in various ways when they were possessed, Princess Yuhua shuddered.
This was the first time she saw someone die tragically in front of her, instead of sending guards to kill people after giving an order. Such death was not real to Princess Yuhua. Even if many people died, they were just numbers, not as horrible as the scene before her eyes.
Li Mo seemed to know what she was thinking. He sighed and comforted her: "This is also helpless. If I can't get out as soon as possible and restore my demon soul, once I meet that big demon again, I will die.
