Although Li Zhen first met Li Xian, he had heard many rumors about Li Xian, knowing that he was a cowardly and kind-hearted person, and also knowing that he was firmly controlled by his wife Wei. But no matter how incompetent and useless Li Zhen was, Li Zhen always believed that Li Xian was definitely not a confused person, and he also had his own ideas.

Li Zhen hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down on one knee to salute, "Mr. Li Zhen, please see Your Highness."

"So you are Li Zhen, and I have heard of Daming for a long time."

Li Xian quickly helped Li Zhen up, looked at him and smiled, "Zhongrun has a high opinion of you. Today, I am indeed an instrument talent."

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your praise, Li Zhen really dare not take it."

"I don't have much time, so I don't waste it on boring topics. Please come in and talk in detail."

"Please"

Li Zhen brought Li Xian and Li Chongrun into the room. At this time, Di Yan walked up to Su Yue with a smile and said, "Does the senior sister know me anymore?"

"You are...Die Xiaomei?"

Su Yue finally recognized the handsome husband in men's clothing and asked in surprise: "How come junior sister is here?"

"I'll come to Fangzhou with my senior sister."

Su Yue frowned. Fangzhou is very dangerous now, and it is not the time to travel. She couldn't help but complain: "Qiu Niang is really confused. Why did she bring you? My junior sister listen to me and go back quickly."

Di Yan held her arm and smiled, "Senior sister, don't worry, I won't have anything to do, let's talk. I'll also help Commander Li."

Although Su Yue was on the Qinglou, she did not know the relationship between Di Yan and Li Zhen. She knew very well that junior sister Di was the master’s favorite disciple and the daughter of Di Xiangguo. If something happened to her, how could the master explain to Di Xiangguo?

She still blamed her unhappily: "You are always so willful and running around. Commander Li is the leader of the inner guard. You can't participate in the matter of the inner guard. It's all because the elder sister is too pampering you. I must talk about it when I see her."

Di Yan laughed in her heart, grabbed her and asked her to ask, begging her to hand over her sword technique, and left her in the yard.

There were only Li Zhen and Li Xian and his son in the room. Li Zhen also said straight to the point: "I want to see Your Highness today because I want to ask Your Highness about the Tang Dynasty. It is related to Your Highness's safety. Please ask Your Highness to tell me the truth."

Li Xian looked very unnatural and couldn't say a word for a long time. How important was the matter of Xingtang Association? How could he tell him honestly for the first time when he met Li Zhen? Even Li Chongrun changed his face. How could Li Zhen ask his father about this?

Of course Li Zhen understood that Li Xian would not believe him. He took out his long sword and put it on the table, "Does Your Highness know this sword?"

Li Xian slowly picked up the sword and looked carefully. His eyes were filled with surprise. Finally, he said in a trembling voice: "Is this my grandfather's Dingtang Sword?"

“It’s right”

"you--"

Li Xian raised his head and stared at Li Zhen, "What is your relationship with Li Jingye?"

Li Zhen smiled faintly and said, "This sword was given to my master after Li Jingye's defeat. My master is Luo Binwang. Your Highness should know."

"He... isn't dead yet?"

"My master fled to Dunhuang and became a monk. He accepted my disciple in Dunhuang. Now he has returned to his hometown. When he left Dunhuang, he gave me this sword, hoping that I could inherit his great cause. Your Highness, although I am the deputy commander of the imperial guards, I never dare to forget my master's teachings."

Li Xian's eyes became softer, and he seemed to see the sincerity in Li Zhen's eyes. Of course, Li Zhen's deputy commander with real power was also extremely lacking.

Li Xian nodded slightly, "Your master is also the founder of Xingtang Association. I am very happy that he is still alive, but Li Jingye is not dead. He has also become a monk. You saw him just now."

Li Zhen was shocked. Could it be that Master Hongfu just now was-

At this time, the figure flashed, and Master Hongfu walked in through the side door. He didn't say a word, sat down at the small table, gently stroked the sword he once knew very well, with tears of joy in his eyes. He sighed in a low voice: "It's been eleven years, and I finally heard the news about my old friend again."

Li Zhen was very shocked. He stared at the old monk blankly. It turned out that he was Li Jingye. For ten years, he had actually been hiding in Fangzhou.

Li Zhen took out a note from his arms and handed it to Master Hongfu, "Master, this is my master's place of becoming a monk now. His Dharma name is forgot about the dust."

Master Hongfu put away the notes and handed over the salute, "Thank you, Commander Li, for telling me your friend's letter."

At this time, not only Li Zhen felt enlightened, but even Li Chongrun suddenly realized that the old monk was Li Jingye. It turned out that his father had a secret relationship with Xingtang.

Li Xian gently held his son's hand and nodded to him with a smile, "Father has always wanted to find an opportunity to tell you, and today is also an opportunity."

But no matter how Li Xian comforted his son, he still could not eliminate the shocked expression on Li Chongrun's face. He looked at his father in surprise, as if it was his first time to know him.

At this time, Li Zhen suddenly laughed and said, "If I was not wrong, this Xiaoen Temple is the stronghold of Xingtang Association in Fangzhou, and the disfigurement and limb case that shocked Fangzhou last year should have been done by Xingtang Association."

Li Zhen's words made Li Xian and Master Hongfu look at each other, not because Li Zhen guessed that this was the stronghold of the Xingtang Association, but how could he know about the big case last year?

After a while, Li Xian nodded slowly, "The case last year was indeed done by Xingtang Club, and the person who was killed was Wu Sansi's subordinate."

In fact, Li Zhen guessed yesterday that the deceased might be Wu Sansi's subordinate. Zhao Qiuniang once told him that the warriors in the general's mansion had a snake tattooed on their left arm, so their left arm was cut off.

"Why is Commander Li so concerned about Xingtang Association?" Li Xian asked in confusion.

Li Zhen took out the bronze medal from Xingtanghui and placed it on the small table, "Your Highness, the official from Dali Temple was ambushed in Yongqing County two days ago. This is the bronze medal left by the ambushers.

"impossible"

Master Hongfu recognized the bronze medal of Xingtang Association at a glance and flatly denied it, "The people from Xingtang Association left Fangzhou a month ago, and it was impossible for them to do it."

Li Xian slowly picked up the bronze medal, with a hint of fear in his eyes. Who is pretending to be Xingtanghui? He actually knew their secret. Is it Wu Sansi?

Li Zhen seemed to understand his thoughts and shook his head and said, "It's not Wu Sansi. If it were Wu Sansi, he would complain directly. He shouldn't know this secret. Your Highness, who else among the powerful people in the court knows about the Xingtang Association?"

"Shangguan Sheren knows it"

Li Xian sighed softly, she kept advising me, "Don't show up in Xingtang Club in Fangzhou. I didn't listen to her advice. It seems she was right."

Li Zhen suddenly felt very uncomfortable. Shangguan Wan'er had kept hiding such an important thing from him. She kept saying that she was her confidant. It would be fine if she didn't involve this matter, but she obviously wanted to come to Fangzhou to handle the case, but she refused to say it.

Li Zhen remembered that Xie Ying appeared in Fangzhou again, and he was not prepared at all. Shangguan Wan'er did not tell him in advance. Moreover, Xie Ying secretly passed on news about Fangzhou to Li Chongrun, indicating that Shangguan Wan'er also knew a lot of Fangzhou secrets, but did not disclose them to him at all.

Li Zhen's face became very ugly. He even wanted to leave without hesitation, regardless of Fangzhou, but reason told him that Li Xian was the emperor who would ascend the throne in the future. It would only benefit him in this critical moment and had nothing to do with Shangguan Wan'er.

Li Zhen pondered for a long time and said to Li Xian: "Your Highness should also know that someone secretly complained in front of the saint, saying that Your Highness had privately investigated warriors and had a bad intention. Now not only the inner guards came to Fangzhou to investigate, but also Lai Junchen and Dali Temple. Weichen suspected that Princess Taiping and Wu Sansi would not be out of the matter.

The most dangerous thing here is Lai Junchen. He is good at making things out of nothing and making up evidence. Weichen also knows about Gan Enxin. Once Gan Enxin falls into Lai Junchen's hands, the consequences will be unimaginable. I hope your highness can tell me some information and I will try to catch this person before Lai Junchen."

Li Xian hesitated for a long time before sighing and saying, "Gang Enxin had told me a long time ago that Wu Sansi sent me the undercover agent beside me. I have always trusted him very much. Last year, he told us in time that Wu Sansi sent someone to sneak into Fangzhou and was caught by us. If he were Wu Sansi's person, then Wu Sansi would have known about the Xingtang Association for a long time. His escape this time was actually what I meant."

"Father, why is this?" Li Chongrun said in surprise.

"Don't you think he's a good bait?"

Li Xian smiled faintly and said, "Even Commander Li is anxious to catch him, let alone Lai Junchen?"

Only then did Li Zhen realize that Li Xian was indeed very wise, so he threw out a Gan Enxin to attract everyone's attention, and then he secretly dealt with the matter of Xingtang Association. This is called openly repairing the plank road and secretly traveling to Chen Cang.

At this time, Li Xian said to Li Chongrun with concern again: "Actually, what I am really worried about is the Wei family. Your mother is too eager to achieve success and has done a lot of inappropriate things, and even organized warriors secretly. As Chief Li said, once this matter is controlled by Lai Junchen, he will exaggerate the facts and turn the warriors into an army. It is difficult for me to tell."

"Then what should we do?" Li Chongrun asked anxiously.

Li Xian's eyes turned to Li Zhen. Obviously, his heartfelt words to Li Zhen were not aimless. He knew better than anyone else that if he wanted to overcome this crisis, he had to rely on Li Zhen.

Li Zhen also understood what he meant. He pondered for a moment and said, "I think it's not a big problem to use the Wei family to talk about it. For the emperor, it is also a matter of being able to catch or release.
