Back at the inn, Zhong Ziyan asked Zhong Shouyi if his grandfather had said anything else to him when he was dying. Zhong Shouyi said that he didn't say anything unusual except the method of practicing Qi and [Huangtao Sword].

Zhong Ziyan guessed that it was probably because Zhong Zishan didn't want his children and grandchildren to be dragged to Ziyun Mountain again. The qi training method and Huangtao sword were obviously not produced by the formal school. If they developed according to the qi training method, most of them would be casual practitioners.

Now that the matter is stuck on one person, Zhong Ziyan plans to stay in Wangcheng for half a month before leaving and return to Jiangbei to wait for news from Tao Hanting.

The grandfather and grandson chatted until noon, when a person with an invisibility talisman came to the inn.

For the imperial court, this is a big deal, and the streets of Wangcheng will soon be filled with patrolling soldiers, but for Zhong Ziyan, whether an ordinary emperor dies or not has nothing to do with him.

There was one thing Zhong Ziyan was more curious about, and asked Yanweixing:

"I heard that you have a disciple named Li Lianying in Ziyun Mountain, do you know him?"

Yan Weixing was speechless, "Senior actually recognized him?"

"What is his identity, he seems to have quite a status?" Zhong Ziyan asked back.

"Li Lianying is the secret disciple of the head of the sect. It is rare for non-Ziyun mountain people to recognize him. He is extremely mysterious on the mountain. This junior has gone back to the mountain gate several times in the past ten years, and has never seen this junior."

"What is his cultivation?"

"The peak of Qi training should be about to build a foundation."

"That must be a good qualification, right?"

"The two spiritual roots are not high-qualified, but I heard from Senior Brother Zhan Kuai that Junior Brother Li's natal object is special, and the head sect accepted him as a disciple only because of his natal object. As for what it is, the junior's status is low and Ying is not at the mountain gate all year round, so he has nothing to do with disciples who are favored by the sect."

Yanweixing is definitely a marginal figure in Ziyun Mountain. He hardly has any special friends. This is also the reason why he can talk a lot when he meets Zhong Ziyan for the first time. Who wants his good Taoist partner to be full of leaks.

"Do you have a way to ask this person out for a meeting?" Zhong Ziyan asked with narrowed eyes.

"This..." Yan Weixing frowned and pondered, it was really difficult for him to talk to Li Lianying in his capacity.

"Or, if you don't try to tell him that something happened to Li's Mansion in Wangcheng, since this person is still concerned about common sense, he will come back. If you can know the exact time, I can catch him on the way!" Zhong Ziyan He made a plan for Yanweixing.

Yanweixing walked back and forth here, with a worried expression on his face, "This must be because something happened to his family. How do seniors think that you can design the Right Prime Minister's family?"

Zhong Ziyan doesn't believe that Yanwei Xing can't think of such a thing as fooling ordinary people. This old guy just wants him to come up with a plan. If it is feasible, he will use Zhong Ziyan's. If it is not feasible, he may have other ideas.

"It's not easy for cultivators to intervene in ordinary affairs. If they are oppressed by ordinary forces, Li Lianying might not come, so he will use his identity as a cultivator to intimidate Li Ye, saying that his family has committed a certain crime. Now It needs to be repaid with the lives of all the men in the clan, and the day Liang Guoguo's funeral is also the time when his family sees blood!"

Zhong Ziyan thought of this strategy casually, Yanweixing nodded and said: "Good strategy, then who will play this role?"

"Of course it's you!" Zhong Ziyan laughed.

Yanwei Xing stared in shock: "This junior is still inexperienced, and there is Master Fang in charge in this city, so it's easy for him to find out."

Zhong Ziyan snorted coldly, "This is your business, are you not afraid of being discovered when you come to this inn today?"

The old guy had nothing to say back, so he finally compromised and said: "Okay, this junior will make some plans and leave tonight."

"Okay!" When Zhong Ziyan showed a little impatience, Yanweixing knew that it was time for him to leave.

Zhili said: "As for the specific matters 70 years ago, it will take some time for the younger generation to find out. Let me take my leave now and come back in a few days."

The invisibility talisman he used was the lowest level of invisibility talisman. Although mortals couldn't see it, people with a slightly higher level of cultivation could see it clearly. Seeing him shrinking his head and leaving, Zhong Ziyan felt a sense of joy for no reason.

In the next few days, the entire royal city was under martial law, and the flags all over the city were replaced with white one after another. The festive atmosphere of the spring hunting was all washed away by the various white flags on the streets.

Zhong Ziyan and Zhong Shouyi occasionally walked on the street to watch the ceremonial guards of feudal kings who went to Beijing for funerals from time to time, but within four or five days, the entire royal city was full of feudal kings who had never seen each other.

Originally, these vassal kings were going to leave the royal city to set up pots and stoves outside, but this time they were surprisingly unanimous and entered the temporary residence of the royal city.

Because there are a large number of soldiers patrolling the streets every day, the common people naturally stay at home and dare not go out. Zhong Shouyi asked: "Grandpa, the emperor is dead, do these people stop their business?"

Zhong Ziyan sighed, "Confucian classics say that the great affairs of the country lie in sacrifices and soldiers. This discussion is by no means just about sacrifices to soldiers. Ordinary imperial power pays attention to the divine mandate of heaven. The emperor is a certain belief in the hearts of foolish people. His life and death are of great importance to him. For Liang Guo, not only is there a lack of people in charge of government affairs and people's livelihood in the court, but it also means that the dragon veins are in crisis one after another. If the new emperor fails to announce it to the world in time, the vassal kings everywhere may rebel."

"Why do people trust the emperor?"

"Because he is the ultimate power that mortals can achieve. He is in charge of the life and death of millions of people. If he is honest and loves the people, the people will live well. If he is extravagant and lustful, the wealth of the people will be lost, and wars will break out."

"How can a human become a heaven?" Zhong Shouyi scratched his head in confusion.

Zhong Ziyan said with a smile: "Hahaha, my grandson is so smart and intelligent that he can realize such a level.

Yes, no matter what a person is, they can't become heaven, but fools need the incarnation of "heaven" to rule. Most people in this world are mediocre and achieve nothing. Imperial power and wealth are not available to everyone, so the birth of the son of heaven is for these people. Xiaomin is full of hope.

They don't need to make any choices, as long as the emperor makes choices for them, human inertia, especially lazy people, cannot be eradicated. "

Zhong Shouyi seemed to understand but half understood, Zhong Ziyan no longer explained to him in detail, many things can only be realized by himself.

That night, a group of soldiers in Wangcheng chased after a tall and strong Khan. Coincidentally, this big man Zhong Ziyan had seen, and it was Gu Santong who was fighting with the Tiger Cavalry army outside the Wangcheng a few days ago.
