Chapter 13 Tang Xiling!

Wang Jiuling did not stay in the dungeon for long.

Under Li Taiyi's control, Wang Jiuling left half a month later.

From the beginning, Emperor Tang had no intention of punishing him.

It's just that his words were too strong, and being imprisoned in the dungeon of the Criminal Department was just to sharpen his energy.

Li Taiyi just gave a few words of advice, and everything went smoothly.

After Wang Jiuling was released from prison, he successfully joined Li Taiyi.

But on the other side, since he acquitted Wang Jiuling, the second prince Li Chengyi has been keeping an eye on Li Taiyi even more closely. The court council "slammed" him, and the palace's study room "leaked"... However, Li Taiyi did not show weakness and fought back one by one.

With Wang Jiuling making suggestions behind the scenes, all these dangers were eliminated.

The relationship between the two gradually became much closer.

——Li Taiyi would take the initiative to ask Wang Jiuling’s thoughts on many things, and he had great respect for Wang Jiuling.

And Wang Jiuling also started to dislike Li Taiyi in the dungeon, but gradually became more and more understanding of this "unworthy prince" in the palace, and became more and more surprised.

The two even have the same views on many things.

At this moment, the court meeting has just ended, in the Jade Dragon Palace.

"Your Highness, after this counterattack, the second prince should become more honest."

Sitting at the red sandalwood table where Five Dragons were playing in the water, Wang Jiuling said calmly.

"The second brother probably didn't expect that it was the fourth brother who was holding him back."

Hearing this, Li Taiyi chuckled, picked up the glass teacup on the table, sniffed it gently, and continued:

"If you hadn't suggested it, I probably wouldn't have thought of repaying the other person with his own treatment. Huo Yuan had some ulterior motives in trying to frame me, so he put a five-clawed golden dragon handkerchief on me. It's a pity, I Not only was it not thrown away, but the craftsman who embroidered the handkerchief was found."

"Thanks to His Highness's foresight, we succeeded. Not only did the fourth prince have to be put into solitary confinement, but the second prince has also been put into solitary confinement."

Wang Jiuling picked up the glass tea cup.

He said calmly, and then took a sip of tea, with a flash of surprise in his eyes, and said: "This tea is good."

"Gao Lishi, prepare a silver tip for Mr. Wang."

Seeing this, Li Taiyi smiled and gave instructions to Gao Lishi behind him.

"My lord, this is disrespectful!"

The relationship between Wang Jiuling and Li Taiyi had improved a lot, so they did not refuse and thanked him with a smile.

"By the way, although I have been promoted step by step in the court recently, my father still doesn't want to see me. What's going on?"

Li Taiyi put down the glass tea cup and suddenly frowned and said.

With a smile on her face, Wang Jiuling accepted the silver tip, patted it dearly, and then slowly and respectfully said to Li Taiyi:

"Your Highness has made a lot of contributions in the court, why don't you think about the contributions in other places?"

For a moment, Li Taiyi was a little confused and couldn't help but look over.

"Make military exploits!"

Wang Jiuling speaks every word with a strong voice.

"!!!"

For a moment, Li Taiyi looked slightly startled, and then laughed.

Make military exploits!

That's right, the so-called heroes think alike. On this matter, Wang Jiuling thought of the same thing as him.

Although the eldest prince was not in the capital, the Tang Emperor valued him very highly. Not only did he leave a space in front of the court for the eldest prince, but he even reserved a place for him at the last Spring Rain Banquet. All of this , because the eldest prince repeatedly fought back the barbarians and made meritorious service to the country.

The most important thing is that there are many powerful enemies around the Tang Dynasty. The Turks in the north, Uzang in the west, Mengshe Zhao in the south, and the Goguryeo people in the northeast, as well as the Xi and Khitan, are all threats to the Tang Dynasty.

In order to cope with the invasion of various countries, Datang has consumed a large amount of national funds, which has become a huge burden on the empire.

In order to solve the current predicament of the empire, it is necessary to defeat the various countries and achieve military success.

This is also the real reason why my father attaches so much importance to the eldest and second emperor brothers!

For Li Taiyi, this is the only way to change the world, avoid the dark doomsday, restore the glory of the Tang Dynasty and the Han nation in China, and show his ambition.

Thinking of this, Li Taiyi slightly raised his lips and looked at Wang Jiuling with admiration.

Time passed slowly and the sunset was approaching. Wang Jiuling quickly resigned and left the palace.

And Li Taiyi also began to think quietly.

Whether it was the prince or Li Taiyi himself, everything was on track, and everything that happened was still vivid in his mind.

The shooting of Huo Yuan at the Royal Racecourse, the resolution of the serious corruption case in the court, the Spring Rain Banquet, the production of chariots and crossbows, the Stone of Destiny, Zhang Jiuling...

For a moment, Li Taiyi remembered the words of the Stone of Destiny:

"...It is located in the most prosperous place in Middle-earth, especially in the imperial palace. Endless treasures and various martial arts books are hidden here!"

"If the host finds the treasure location, there will be a prompt."

Li Taiyi closed his eyes and murmured softly.

During this period of time, he visited almost all possible places in the palace without getting any hint from the Stone of Destiny. However, there was one place that Li Taiyi felt had great potential, but he had not gone there yet.

——Because the location is a little special!

"It seems I can only go there and give it a try."

Soon, Li Taiyi seemed to make up his mind.

If there is one place in the entire palace that is related to the "dragon vein" mentioned by the Stone of Destiny, it is probably only there.

…

It was dark at night, and the radiance of the stars in the sky covered the entire palace with a layer of silver. It was like the residence of God in the painting, giving it a feeling of sanctity, nobility, majesty and sanctity.

Taking advantage of the darkness, Li Taiyi quickly jumped and reached the northwest of the inaccessible palace in just a few leaps. After leaving the inner gate of the West Palace, there were few people, so Li Taiyi did not hide it and walked out openly.

Not long after, Li Taiyi arrived at his destination.

——Xiling!

There is a tall white jade cliff, with white jade railings on both sides, then a huge dragon-shaped stone tablet, and... a huge mausoleum.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Li Taiyi looked solemn and bowed respectfully.

Throughout the Tang Dynasty, everyone knew that the emperors of the Tang Dynasty were buried in Xiling, especially His Majesty Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, the founding emperor of the entire Tang Dynasty.

I even heard that buried under the Xiling are the emperors of the Sui Dynasty, even the Han Dynasty, and even earlier dynasties.

This is an extremely sacred place for the entire Tang Dynasty!

Moreover, it is said that during the reign of Emperor Taizu of the previous dynasty, Yuan Tianshi, the first person in the art of heaven and fortune, said through Feng Shui analysis that Xiling is the place where dragons lair in the world, and where Long Qing is, it is the place where real dragons rest.

"It is strictly forbidden to enter the forbidden area of ​​the royal family!"

On the top of the white jade Danchi, there are several big Chinese characters in red lacquer, with flying dragons and phoenixes, penetrating into the wood. It gives people a shocking feeling and makes people subconsciously want to stay away from this place.

During this period, Li Taiyi passed by several times but did not go in for in-depth inquiries. It was for this reason.

——Even if you are a prince, you are not allowed to enter Xiling without permission.

If someone really wants to see him, it would be troublesome for the second prince to impeach him.

But now, Li Taiyi has no choice.

And for some reason, Li Taiyi had a strange, indescribable, weird feeling every time he passed by here.

There seems to be something there.

"Go in."

After a moment of silence, Li Taiyi felt secretly in his heart.

Change the world!

Reproduce the glory of Datang and Middle-earth!

This is the firm idea in Li Taiyi's heart. Only with strong power can all this be achieved.

He will never give up.

Be fearless and naturally strong!

"Buzz!"

Without any hesitation, not even a breath, without the slightest hesitation, he immediately stepped over the stone tablet and crossed the stone tablet that read "Royal Forbidden Area, No Trespassing Strictly Prohibited".

However, at this moment, suddenly, a cold, emotionless voice suddenly sounded in his mind:

"Congratulations to the host for arriving at the destination, the Dragon Vein mission has officially started!"

"Please host find the key person within half an hour, otherwise the mission will be closed and the host will kill him!"

"What?!"

For a moment, Li Taiyi's eyes were extremely shocked.

"What's going on? What's going on with erasure?!"

Without any hesitation, Li Taiyi immediately used his consciousness to communicate with the Stone of Destiny.

"The host is currently only in the Xuanwu realm, and the Dragon Vein mission can only be opened at at least the general level. If the host opens it in advance, there must be corresponding punishment. After calculation, this is the most reasonable punishment."

The cold and emotionless voice of the Stone of Destiny sounded in Li Taiyi's mind.

In an instant, Li Taiyi's face turned extremely pale.

He originally wanted to come here first to check out the location and come back fully prepared, but he didn't expect that he would start it directly. What he didn't expect was that he would have to kill it if he couldn't complete it? !

For a moment, Li Taiyi was stunned on the spot, unable to regain his consciousness for a long time.

But not long after, Li Taiyi gradually calmed down.

"Now that we've come this far, I'm going to give it a try!"

Li Taiyi said firmly.

Soon, Li Taiyi recovered his thoughts and looked in front of him.

After the stone tablet, it was like stepping into another world, empty and chilly, as if it had been forgotten by the whole world.

Everywhere is desolate, but there is a faint sense of majesty.

"For the dragon vein mission, you should first find something related to the dragon vein..."

The words of the Stone of Destiny echoed in Li Taiyi's mind. As he walked inward, his eyes scanned firmly, as if he was looking for something.

Shrubs with new buds, birds falling by chance, white rock ground... Soon, in the center of Xiling, a dragon-shaped stone tablet ten feet high attracted Li Taiyi's attention.

Xiling is the mausoleum of emperors of all dynasties. The symbol of the emperor is the real dragon. This dragon-shaped stone sculpture is obviously a tomb-suppressing beast or a tomb-guarding beast.

This dragon-shaped stone tablet is carved lifelike, with claws and scales, every detail, lifelike, just like a real dragon. And it also has the feeling of being weathered for a long time, and it looks like it has been around for a long time.

In the palace, such dragon-shaped carvings can be found everywhere. It is absolutely normal for Xiling to have such a real dragon statue.

But for some reason, Li Taiyi had a strange feeling when staring at this dragon-shaped stone tablet. The real dragon on the stone tablet seemed to be alive and staring at him.

Moreover, Li Taiyi always felt that something inside the stone tablet was calling him, and there seemed to be some connection between him and the stone tablet.

"Is it this dragon-shaped stone tablet?"

Li Taiyi was thoughtful.

He checked all around, and although there were occasional statues, they were not in the shape of dragons. Even if it is in the shape of a dragon, it is only slightly decorated. Only the ten-foot-tall dragon-shaped stone tablet in front of me is unique and has great possibilities.

After just a moment of hesitation, Li Taiyi immediately reached out and touched the dragon-shaped stone tablet. His hands were cold and silky, with an indescribable feeling. It was smooth, thick, and bright, and there was even a feeling as if he was touching floating ice in the water. So cool.

“It doesn’t have sculpted eyes?!”

As Li Taiyi explored and observed more, he suddenly discovered that this dragon-shaped stone tablet did not have eyes carved on it.

Generally speaking, a dragon must be the finishing touch, especially in an imperial tomb like Xiling.

But when Mrs. Li was confused and had this thought in her mind, she suddenly discovered that the palm he placed on the dragon-shaped stone tablet seemed to be stuck in a quagmire, sinking into the dragon-shaped stone tablet.

"How is this going?!"

Li Taiyi looked shocked and twitched his arm suddenly, but the next moment, in Li Taiyi's eyes, something even more incredible happened.

Just as Li Taiyi twitched, the dragon-shaped stone tablet actually dug his arm deeper, as if there was an invisible pulling force in the dragon-shaped stone tablet.

More than that, Li Taiyi clearly saw a misty brilliance, as thick as water, wrapping around his whole body along the outstretched arm.
