Li Yu took back the elixir of death from Soochow, and the news quickly spread throughout the Six Dynasties.

All countries are feeling a little uncomfortable, especially those who have taken the elixir.

It turns out that even if you eat this thing and you can take it back, it is really in the hands of Li Yu alone.

Among the emperors and generals in the world, this hand is equivalent to Li Yu's invincibility, becoming the true emperor.

If you want to truly achieve immortality, there are only two ways. One is that Li Yu does not take back the elixir; the other is to kill Li Yu. No one in the world can take back their elixir.

The second point is obviously impossible, and no one will take this risk. Heavenly Court used all means to kill him, but it still did not kill Li Yu, but made his influence more and more powerful.

If you try to kill Li Yu but fail, the elixir will definitely be taken back.

The day after Li Yu left Jianye, Soochow returned all the cities, prefectures and counties, compensated Shu with a large amount of money, and sent Sun Shangxiang back to Yizhou.

The two countries have reconciled. Although there must be deeper grievances in their hearts, at least they are reconciled on the surface.

The monarchs and ministers of Soochow lost the elixir. If they wanted to get it back, it was very simple. They could only fight to the death and perform meritorious deeds in the ensuing war.

Outside Chang'an City, a Taoist priest strolled into the city without attracting the slightest attention.

He is so ordinary, just like an ordinary Taoist priest in an ordinary Taoist temple, or a young Taoist priest who does not seem to have high moral standards.

The soldiers guarding the city did not know that this Taoist priest could stir up the storms of the Six Dynasties with one hand.

Not long after he entered the city, someone followed behind him. Li Yu looked back and couldn't help but laugh.

Zuo Ci had a look of complaint on his face, and behind him, the look in his eyes was extremely disgusting.

"Now that's good, you've made a big splash and become a celebrity in the Six Dynasties. Wherever you go, there are ten thousand pairs of eyes looking at you. Our plan is totally ruined."

Li Yu smiled and said: "Why are you panicking? I have a clone, have you forgotten?"

Zuo Ci looked at Li Yu and said doubtfully: "Why do I feel that your breath is longer and you have advanced again?"

Although he is a descendant of Taiping Dao, his speed is too amazing.

Li Yu nodded and admitted that he had gone a step further.

"You kid..." Zuo Ci was speechless.

Logically speaking, once you reach this level, it is difficult to go further.

Some people have spent thousands of years still standing still, and those who can cultivate to this level are not fools, most of them are amazingly talented people.

The appearance of Li Yu seems to be specifically designed to break this iron law. He will give you an upgrade every now and then, and it is not an ordinary upgrade.

Li Yu walked with full pace, walking side by side with Zuo Ci, and said slowly: "It's nothing, just be diligent."

Zuo Ci was disgusted. He glanced at Li Yu and asked, "Aren't you going to your father-in-law's house?"

"No, Shun'er is not here, and there is a sister-in-law there who is very difficult to deal with."

Zuo Ci laughed loudly and said: "You also know that the little girl is young and her thoughts may not be simple at all. Was it because of her that the queen's misfortune happened in the first place?"

Li Yu shook his head and said: "It's not that Shun'er is really responsible for the Queen's misfortune, but she almost devoured the Emperor's luck."

Zuo Ci rolled his eyelids and said: "If those monks really take away the power of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, then Tubo may cause trouble in the Central Plains."

Li Yu couldn't help but think that in history, Tubo really invaded Chang'an City, burned, killed, raped and looted.

His own appearance has changed many things, which shows that he has changed his destiny against nature.

In the Tai Chi Hall of the Tang Dynasty Palace at this time.

Li Shimin got on the chariot, and the attendants held up yellow umbrellas and opened tail fans. According to the emperor's traveling ceremony, thousands of servants surrounded the chariot and marched toward the central palace.

He had just participated in the ancestor worship ceremony. Today was the death anniversary of his father. In the blink of an eye, Li Yuan had been dead for three years.

After handling the ceremony, Li Shimin heard important news: Huo Qubing's identity was confirmed.

At this time, in the middle palace, stood a group of men in black. They were the most mysterious "eagle dogs" of the Tang Dynasty.

These people only listen to the orders of Li Shimin, and the rest of them, even if they are senior ministers, have no right to mobilize them.

After Li Shimin came in, a man in black clasped his fists and said: "Your Majesty, the one who escaped from the tomb and injured our guards was none other than Huo Qubing. The one who let him out was the nine-tailed fox Su Daji, and Maoling was very likely to be raped by someone.

Moved."

Li Shimin's face was gloomy. Maoling was in Chang'an, so Li Shimin always regarded it as his own.

Even if he can't open it now, he won't allow others to come and get it. After all, he has taken the elixir and has plenty of time to wait.

But the current reality is that Maoling has been entered.

This was absolutely unbearable for Li Shimin.

"Do you know who did it?"

The leader of the Eagle Dog whispered: "There are several suspected targets."

"explain!"

"Zuo Ci, Cao Hong, Xuanzang, Li Yu."

Li Shimin nodded. No matter what he thought, these four were serious suspects. Who else could break through Maoling's many traps except them.

The eagle and dog leader continued: "Your Majesty, do you want to check?"

This question was necessary because Li Yu had just collected the elixir of death from Soochow, and they were afraid of offending Li Yu.

Li Shimin thought for a while, then frowned and said: "Go and investigate in secret, don't make any announcement, and if anything changes, stop immediately."

He didn't want to offend Li Yu either.

But if Maoling was really dug by Li Yu, then Li Shimin would never give up and at least seek some benefits.

How much money was made from digging Maoling under the capital of the Tang Dynasty?

Just paying taxes is worth a lot of money.

Li Shimin asked: "Among these four people, who is the most suspicious?"

The Eagle Dog leader thought for a while and said, "Cao Hong and Zuo Ci."

From their point of view, there is indeed no problem with this statement. Cao Hong was a famous expert in tomb digging and tomb robbing in the Six Dynasties.

Zuo Ci was even more infamous. Together with Xuan Hu, he dug countless graves.

"There are countless mechanisms in Maoling, the most vicious of which is extremely poisonous. I don't know how many tomb robbers have been killed. Li Yu, a serious Taoist priest, is invulnerable to all poisons, so he is also somewhat suspicious."

"Zen Master Xuanzang is also invulnerable to all poisons, and he has another advantage, that is, he is not afraid of curses."

Li Shimin listened quietly, but suddenly asked: "Has Huo Qubing... been found?"

The leader of the Eagle Dogs nodded and said: "He didn't go very far. He has been near Chang'an. We didn't arrest him, we just kept an eye on his tracks."

Li Shimin nodded and said: "Don't alarm him first, let's see what he wants to do before we talk."

The emperors of the Six Dynasties loved talents, but none of them wanted to recruit Huo Qubing because everyone knew that this matter was very difficult and there were many uncertainties.

If you go to recruit Huo Qubing, the probability of success is very low first, and you don't know the purpose of why he was frozen.

Such a person can hardly be said to be loyal to the Six Dynasties that emerged after the Han Dynasty.

He was the invincible general of the Han Dynasty in its prosperous age. How could he not be loyal to the invincible Han Dynasty at that time?

After everyone left, Li Shimin sat on the dragon throne with a gloomy look in his eyes.

What made him most irritated was actually not these two things, but the fact that Li Yu could take back the elixir.

This incident was what bothered Li Shimin, making him feel like he was being controlled by others.

If this was the reason why Li Yu refused to reveal it, he would be afraid that such a situation would occur. Unfortunately, Soochow's backstabbing left him with no choice.

At this moment, the voice of the chamberlain came from outside, "Your Majesty, Li Yu, a serious Taoist priest, wants to see you."

Li Shimin's eyes suddenly opened.

"Let him in."

Li Yu walked slowly into the hall, and the gloom on Li Shimin's face had long been wiped away. He looked at Li Yu and asked with a smile: "Why are the Taoist priests here free?"

Li Yu bent down slightly, cupped his fists and said, "I'm here to apologize."

Li Shimin asked in surprise: "Oh?"

Li Yu bit the bullet and told Shi Qian's story. He didn't hide anything.

The power of the Tang Dynasty was too great, so Li Yu had to buy his apprentice a gold medal to avoid death, so that the Tang Dynasty, who would feel humiliated, would not retaliate against him in the future.

Of course, Li Yu didn't say that Shi Qian was a double agent, he just said that he was his apprentice and came to Datang by accident.

After hearing this, Li Shimin laughed and said: "How can I pursue Taoist Master if he is so frank? To be honest, I have known about this for a long time. I kept him here specifically to let him pass on the message to you."

Li Yu hurriedly said: "I have long known that Your Majesty is wise, powerful, omniscient, and a true god."

He waved his hand, and a gourd appeared in the air. Li Yu said: "These are some elixirs that Pindao refined himself. They can prolong life, cure diseases and eliminate disasters. I offer them here specifically to thank Your Majesty for your magnanimity."

Li Shimin asked the servant to come forward, collect the gourd and store it away.

"I heard that the Taoist priest was in Jianye the day before yesterday, and today he arrived in Chang'an. It's a hard journey to come all the way. I intend to help the Taoist priest, but I don't know if I have time?"

The atmosphere of the imperial banquet of the Tang Dynasty was still very good, but Li Yu was not in the mood.
