Chapter 543 Li Cunxi's Internal Guard

Luoyang.

In the pitch-black darkness, a figure appeared outside the east gate of Luoyang. The visitor did not say much, but handed over the token in his hand.

It was actually an inner guard badge, which could open the gate of Luoyang City at any time.

The soldier guarding the gate verified the authenticity of the badge and opened the city gate to let the person enter Luoyang City.

The man ran all the way to Taichu Palace, but was stopped by the gate guards outside the palace.

"Who is coming?"

"What are you doing entering the palace so late at night?"

The man holding the inner guard badge remained silent, but handed out his inner guard badge as if he was at the city gate.

The soldiers guarding the gate frowned and looked again and again, then finally stepped back a few steps, stood in unison on both sides, and tactfully gave way.

Not long after, this thin-looking figure appeared in Ganlu Palace and bowed deeply to Wu Zetian who was awakened.

"I will see your Majesty at last."

"No need to be polite. You are here to see me so late at night. But what important matter has happened?"

"Your Majesty, that person sent back the news that Duke Qin Li Cunxi and his group, who were heading east, have already arrived in Yingzhou and will continue their journey to Yangzhou soon. Duke Qin seemed to be worried all the way, as if he knew something in advance."

"He knew something in advance... This case is so strange, what could he know in advance?" Wu Zetian rubbed her temple.

"Your Majesty, I don't know about this either. I was only ordered to secretly follow Duke Qin. Whoever passes the news to me, I will immediately return to Luoyang to inform Your Majesty."

Wu Zetian thought about it over and over again, but couldn't figure out what Li Cunxi knew in advance that made him so worried.

In a tiny place like Yangzhou, what kind of people or things would make Li Cunxi so worried?

"Perhaps, it's not because he knows something. Perhaps, Li Cunxi is thinking about how to solve this case."

Wu Zetian glanced down at the man below.

The man's face gradually became clear under the flickering candlelight.

This is Zhao Hai, one of the leaders of the Inner Guard Palace!

He was one of the eight chief ministers during the era of Xiao Qingfang, the former chief minister of the Inner Guards. In terms of seniority, he was even more senior than Mo Ling and Yingzi.

At this time when the Inner Guard Palace is short of manpower, Zhao Hai, who had been handling affairs outside, followed Li Cunxi and his gang along the way after returning to the Inner Guard Palace.

As the head of the Internal Guard Bureau, his only job was to deliver the news sent by the internal guard beside Li Cunxi.

What an irony.

"Zhao Hai, you must cooperate with that person after you go back."

"The news he gave you must be sent to me as soon as possible."

Zhao Hai's eyebrows trembled slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he was speechless. He bowed and was about to leave.

"I know you are doubting him. After all, when the Inner Guards found him, he never refused once and joined with peace of mind."

"You may all be thinking that the reason why he joined the Inner Guard Bureau might be because Li Cunxi was behind it."

"What I want to tell you is that even though he joined the Inner Guard Bureau under Li Cunxi's assignment, I still use him. Do you know why?"

Wu Zetian took a sip of tea with a calm expression.

That internal guard was the only one around Li Cunxi who was directly appointed by the emperor.

Although the reason why the other party joined the Inner Guard Bureau was far-fetched, he was a member of the Inner Guard Bureau after all, and there was no way he would be left alone.

"I don't know. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Zhao Hai cupped his hands, not daring to disobey, and had no choice but to obey blindly.

"That's because, of course, if Li Cunxi can directly send me an inner guard, what is there that we can't trust between the monarch and his subjects?"

"In the past, Di Huaiying sent his housekeeper Di Chun to the Inner Guard House to reassure me; Wu Chengsi also sent his personal guard to the Inner Guard House to reassure me."

"Zhang Jianzhi, Li Huaiyuan, Yao Chong and other ministers are also like this."

"They acted this way to tell me that they are my loyal subjects and that they are willing to compromise for me."

"Do you understand now?"

After Wu Zetian finished speaking, she glanced at Zhao Hai sideways.

Zhao Hai quickly knelt on his knees and knocked his head to the ground.

"I understand, Your Majesty. I am short-sighted."

……

Two days later, Zhao Hai caught up with Li Cunxi and his group in Yingzhou. Watching them move forward from afar, Zhao Hai did not take any action and waited until late at night before he took the initiative to contact the contact person.

Under the moonlight, a man came out of Li Cunxi's carriage. He left carefully and finally found Zhao Hai in a bush.

The two of them got together and quickly exchanged ideas about what had happened in the past few days, and then they each went back.

In Li Cunxi's carriage, Wu Yanhao, who had just woken up, rubbed his eyes and glanced at Lu Dayou who was still sleeping across from him. He felt a little strange, but couldn't put his finger on it, so he just tilted his head and continued to doze off.

Li Cunxi, who was pretending to be asleep, opened his eyes, and a hint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

"System, properties panel."

“Name: Li Cunxi.

Physique: 110.

Force: 110.

Intelligence: 110.

Special personality: My destiny is in my own hands (used and can be discarded), My heart is as calm as still water (used and can be discarded).

Buff: Immune to all poisons, a sword can pierce the heart, the true dragon emperor, invincible, blessed by heaven.

Special buff: Khitan friendship."

"Use all the remaining twelve free attribute points to improve your military power. They are all Iron Hands. I must take action myself."

"Host successfully added points, current force value is 122 points."

Li Cunxi opened his eyes, squeezed out from between Lu Dayou and Wu Yanhao, and started practicing near the fire with the Youlan sword in hand.

In the past few months, he has been learning the way of the viper sword from Hu Jinghui.

With the triple bonus of super intelligence, super physique and super force, Li Cunxi's swordsmanship has improved by leaps and bounds, and now he is on the verge of surpassing his master.

Tonight Li Cunxi danced with a sword in the wind, and the sound of the sword tore through the air, making bursts of noise.

Ma Rong, who was sleeping soundly, heard the sound, and looked out with a vigilant look on his face. He found that his young master was practicing sword skills hard, so he watched carefully from the side.

After watching for only a sip or two of tea, Ma Rong felt something was wrong. Li Cunxi, who was once weak and helpless, now had the majesty of a sword master in his every move.

"This swordsmanship is three points better than General Hu Jinghui who transformed into a viper."

"How strange! I have never seen the head of the family so powerful before."

"Could it be that the Patriarch has attained enlightenment in Yingzhou and has stepped into the ranks of the great sword masters in one step?"

Ma Rong was shocked by his own guess.

Hu Jinghui, who had just returned from using the toilet, looked at Li Cunxi, who was practicing swordplay in the wind, with a look of surprise on his face, and exclaimed:

"Perhaps you are right, Ma Rong."

"Yingzhou realized the truth, and Cunxi took one step to become a great master of the sword."

"Such a sharp sword, even I can't cut it."

Hu Jinghui's eyes lit up: "The fact that this Youlan sword can be used by Cunxi is the greatest honor for this sword as a weapon."
