Chapter 171 The Mirror Heart Demon plots to find a way out!The Mirror Heart Demon threw up a handful of copper coins, and as the copper coins fell to the ground, a clinking sound suddenly rang out. The Mirror Heart Demon stepped into the gap between the copper coins, shaking a tortoise shell engraved with intricate patterns in his hand, and two copper coins collided and rolled inside the tortoise shell. clang! The two coins finally fell to the ground. Mirror Heart Demon looked at the hexagram and his face twitched. "What's the problem?" The Mirror Heart Demon then cast a few more hexagrams, each of which was filled with danger. He frowned as he looked at the hexagrams and muttered to himself, "No, no... I think I know what went wrong." Mirror Heart Demon quickly walked to the table and took out the secret letter sent from Cangbing Valley. Mirror Heart Demon carefully read the contents of the secret letter again, and then murmured: "The Marshal was assassinated by that traitor, who called himself Li Ying... the Marshal's henchman..." The Mirror Heart Demon instantly opened his eyes wide and exclaimed, "So that's it, it's that kid. So it's him who came to Jin State!" Li Ying, Zhaozong once visited a palace maid after getting drunk one night. The maid happened to be pregnant and gave birth to a son. When the queen learned the news, she ordered the bad people to kill the child. After Yuan Tiangang learned the news, he took the baby away and trained it as Li Xingyun's shadow. In Yuan Tiangang's original vision, Li Xingyun was a hopeless person who just wanted to live a carefree life, so he had to use this "fake Li" to stimulate and force Li Xingyun to rekindle his fighting spirit. However, Yuan Tiangang did not expect that the first time he saw Li Xingyun in Cangbing Valley, Li Xingyun would destroy his backup plan that he had prepared for more than ten years. Li Ying's original appearance was different from Li Xingyun's. Under Yuan Tiangang's instruction, Jing Xin Mo used the technique of changing the world to operate on Li Ying's face, changing his appearance into that of Li Xingyun. This is the origin of the scars on Li Ying's face today. "Ah... Damn it." Li Ying panted and lay beside Zhang Zifan, cursing, "Damn idiot, your strength is so strong."
Li Ying boasted that at the age of 18, he had reached the level of Zhongtianwei, which made him a rare talent among young men. He did not expect that he would encounter such a monster when he was filling a cup in a roadside tavern. If Li Ying remembered correctly, that man should be the most powerful man in the Jin army, Li Cunxiao, whose horizontal training kung fu had reached the level of Datianwei without relying on internal force. "Haha, it's not unfair for me to lose to the Great Heavenly Realm." Li Ying sneered. He believed that even if Li Xingyun came, he couldn't do better than him. Of course, this is purely Li Ying's stereotype of Li Xingyun. Ever since Li Xingyun first appeared in the Hidden Soldiers Valley, Li Ying has been hidden and confined in the Hidden Soldiers Valley by Yuan Tiangang. Li Ying doesn't know much about what's happening in the outside world. Without Yuan Tiangang's permission, the intelligence network of the Bad People has nothing to do with him. If Li Ying confronts Li Xingyun now, one move can decide life or death. "Are you Li Xingyun's brother?" Zhang Zifan, who was locked in the prison van, frowned and looked at Li Ying. Zhang Zifan was also surprised at the similarity between Li Ying and Li Xingyun. However, Li Ying's face looked very unnatural with many scars on it, as if it was pieced together, giving people an extremely awkward feeling. Li Ying turned his head and glanced at Zhang Zifan without saying anything. Before meeting Li Keyong, any extra words he said might cause his plan to fail. He was now completely dependent on others and had no choice or way out but to fight to the death. Seeing that Li Ying ignored him, Zhang Zifan simply closed his eyes. He was also thinking about how to deal with the next situation. Zhang Zifan is sure that his father Zhang Xuanling and the Longhu Mountain Tianshi Mansion will never give up on him, and Brother Li will also come to save him. Now all he has to do is to hold on! You must hold on until they come to rescue you! "I'm still so young and I still have plenty of time. I can't die, especially not at the hands of that big-eared thief!" Zhang Zifan narrowed his eyes slightly and made up his mind to survive! …… "You said you are a descendant of Li Tang? How do you prove it?" A calm and steady voice sounded in front of Li Ying. Li Ying looked at the one-eyed old man sitting in a wheelchair in front of him and felt a lot of pressure. How could he be a descendant of Li Tang? He had been following Yuan Tiangang since he could remember. Judging from Yuan Tiangang's attitude towards him, he was not a descendant of Li Tang at all. Looking at Yuan Tiangang's attitude towards Li Xingyun, Li Ying was so envious that his teeth were about to break. However, Li Ying was very clear about one thing. Except Yuan Tiangang, no one in this world knew his true identity, not even himself. As a result, he had the idea of using the name of Li Tang's descendant as a banner and gaining the support of Jin State. Even if he had to be a puppet emperor, he had to defeat Li Xingyun! "My adoptive father is asking you questions, why don't you answer quickly!" Although Li Siyuan was talking to Li Ying, his eyes were always fixed on Zhang Zifan. "Zifan, long time no see. You really made it difficult for your father to find you." Li Siyuan smiled sinisterly at Zhang Zifan. Li Siyuan knew the value of Zhang Zifan. Not only did he possess the Five Thunders Heavenly Heart Art, but he could also use it to threaten the Tianshi Mansion to submit. However, he could not keep the Five Thunders Heavenly Heart Art to himself. His adoptive father might also need it. Thinking of this, Li Siyuan could not help but feel a little gloomy in his heart. Li Keyong had become more and more fond of Li Cunxu in the past year, and he had even thought of passing the throne of King of Jin to Li Cunxu more than once. Now that the military power is in the hands of Li Cunxu, how can Li Siyuan not be afraid? Although he and Li Cunxu have not had a direct conflict, one of them must surrender. He, Li Siyuan, is much older than Li Cunxu and has followed Li Keyong in fighting for many years. He does not want to surrender to a brat who likes to sing opera! "Bah, you bastard, you shall not die well!" Zhang Zifan was filled with anger when he saw Li Siyuan's big head. Then he thought about the fact that he had regarded the thief as his father for more than ten years, and he felt even more humiliated. "Haha, Zifan, the grace of raising me cannot be abolished, and now it's time for you to repay the debt." Li Siyuan has been in the underworld for decades, and his skin has become as thick as a door panel. How could he be affected by Zhang Zifan's words? "Okay, let this young man speak." Li Keyong said lightly, and Li Siyuan immediately fell silent. Li Keyong's majesty in Tongwenguan and even in the entire Jin State was obvious. Li Ying had some thoughts in mind after Li Siyuan's interruption. After organizing his words, he said calmly, "My face can explain everything. In addition, the news of the Buliangshuai's death can also prove that I stabbed the knife into his chest with my own hands." Li Keyong frowned as he looked at Li Ying's slightly cracked face, and said in a deep voice: "The art of changing one's appearance. Since you have had surgery on your face, this face cannot prove your identity. Let's talk about the matter of the Bad Leader. With your strength, how did you kill the Bad Leader?" According to Li Keyong's previous inference about Yuan Tiangang, his strength is at least above the Great Tiangang level. Being in the Tiangang position, just one finger is enough to deal with the kid in front of him.
Li Ying also spoke out the words she had prepared long ago: "I was born out of wedlock. That bad leader was so corrupt that he only recognized Li Xingyun as the legitimate descendant of the Tang Dynasty. That's why he disfigured me and changed my appearance to look like Li Xingyun. He also made me Li Xingyun's shadow so that I could die for Li Xingyun at the critical moment. I was unwilling to be a rat in a dark ditch all my life, so I finally found the bad leader on a full moon night." Li Keyong keenly grasped the important information in Li Ying's words, "Why, is there any saying about this full moon night?" Li Ying nodded and said, "I was trained by the Bad Commander since I was young, so I know some of his secrets. He was infected with a cold poison that has no cure. Every full moon night when the Yin energy is the heaviest, the cold poison in his body will break out. At that time, he must use most of his own power to suppress the cold poison. I didn't want to kill him, I just wanted to escape from the Cangbing Valley when he was at his weakest." “What can I do…” A trace of sadness flashed across Li Ying’s eyes. “What can I do? He insisted on killing me, but he was too careless. I didn’t expect that such a person like him would die in my hands. Haha, what a irony.” Li Ying's words were completely sincere, and Li Keyong narrowed his eyes slightly. It seemed that what Li Ying said was not false. At this time, a killer from Tongwenguan came to Li Keyong and leaned over to whisper: "Report to the King of Jin, there is news from Chang'an that the bad commander has died, and Li Xingyun personally went to the funeral to send him to heaven!" Li Keyong's eyes suddenly gleamed with brilliance, and he shouted at Li Ying: "Come quickly, let His Highness out!" "I will prepare a mansion for your Highness. Your Highness can stay here to recover from your injuries. We will discuss the restoration of the Tang Dynasty later." Li Keyong finalized Li Ying's future with just a few words. Li Ying naturally knew that he had no right to refuse, so he nodded and agreed immediately. Li Ying, a lonely man, has the identity and gimmick of a descendant of the Li Tang Dynasty. Regardless of whether his identity as a descendant of the Li Tang Dynasty is true or false, now that the news of the death of the bad commander has spread in Chang'an, as long as the Jin State makes some fuss about it and adds fuel to the fire, it will be a matter of a word for them to confirm Li Ying's identity. With Li Ying as a shield, Jin State will not be at a disadvantage in terms of righteousness when facing Li Xingyun in the future. Li Keyong also thought of this, so he made a prompt decision to welcome this descendant of Li Tang into Jin State. Li Ying secretly breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this. As expected, he knew that Li Keyong could not refuse the banner brought by this descendant of Li Tang. Clank, clank, someone immediately came to unlock the shackles on Li Ying and helped him down. Li Keyong glanced at Zhang Zifan as he turned around while pushing the wheelchair, and then said to Li Siyuan indifferently: "Take the Five Thunders Heavenly Heart Sutra from him as soon as possible." Li Siyuan bowed respectfully and said, "Yes, foster father. I will pry the Five Thunders Heavenly Heart Art out of Zhang Zifan's mouth as soon as possible." Li Keyong then pushed the wheelchair away slowly. His Supreme Saint Qiankun Gong had reached the limit of improvement. Now if he could obtain the Five Thunders Heavenly Heart Sutra, his martial arts skills would be able to be further improved. This was a temptation that Li Keyong, a martial arts fanatic, could not refuse. At this time, Li Siyuan also stayed where he was and looked at Zhang Zifan with a sinister smile on his face. Zhang Zifan looked at the big-eared thief and gritted his teeth, knowing that his future days would be difficult. …… "Call our people!" Jing Xinmo gave a light order after he walked out of the room. Behind him, copper coins used for divination were scattered all over the ground. Not long after, dozens of people appeared in Jing Xinmo's mansion. Some were dressed in actors' costumes, and some were dressed in Tongwenguan killers' costumes. These people were all insiders that Jing Xinmo had deployed in Taiyuan City for many years. "Sir, except for the brothers who have missions, all our people are here." A bad guy bowed to Jing Xinmo. "There is a traitor in Cangbing Valley. This person knows me and is now in Taiyuan City." Jingxin Demon said with narrowed eyes. At this time, a bad person wearing the uniform of Tongwenguan immediately replied: "Your Excellency, today Li Cunzhong and Li Cunxiao brought back Zhang Zifan, and on the way they also caught a man who claimed to be a descendant of Li Tang. Now this man is being held together with Zhang Zifan." "Haha, a descendant of Li Tang? Does he deserve it?" Mirror Heart Demon sneered and put his hands in his sleeves and said, "That's right, this Li Ying is the little follower beside the Marshal. I didn't expect that he was the one who betrayed the Marshal." "Sir, does this mean we are in danger of being exposed?" exclaimed a bad guy who looked like an actor. After operating in Jin State for decades, he never expected that all his plans would be in vain overnight. "not necessarily." The Mirror Heart Demon raised his chin slightly and said calmly: "The current plan is to take the initiative to attack before Li Ying identifies me. He has no roots and is just a floating duckweed, so I will give him some hope! A little hope of a comeback!" …… Taiyuan, a royal palace. "All of you go down." Li Ying, who had just changed into a brand new brocade robe, shouted to the maids waiting outside the door, and the maids bowed and left. With a splash, Li Ying couldn't help but close her eyes while lying in the steaming bathtub.
"Huh... Is this the effect of being a descendant of Li Tang? Haha, it's really good." Li Ying laughed somewhat self-deprecatingly. After an unknown amount of time, the dazed Li Ying seemed to see a figure. He was dressed in ordinary clothes. If he stood among the well-equipped Bad Guys, you would even think he was just a soldier. But Li Ying knew clearly that this person was the soul of all the Bad Guys. "You don't deserve the surname Li!" A hoarse and piercing voice suddenly rang out, scaring Li Ying awake from his sleep. He gasped and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, only to find that the voice just now was just a dream. "Is this a dream?" Li Ying's eyes changed. Bad Leader had become his inner demon, a demon for his whole life... "I will prove to you that I am no worse than Li Xingyun!" Li Ying said viciously, looking at the familiar and disgusting face in the water. "Indeed, you are no worse than him." A voice suddenly sounded, Li Ying's face changed, and he shouted to the outside of the door: "Who!" Bang! The door opened, and a face covered with thick makeup suddenly appeared in front of Li Ying. Who else could it be but Jing Xin Mo? With Jing Xin Mo's power in Jin State, he naturally knew Li Ying's identity and what happened in Tongwen Hall very quickly, so he came. Li Ying's eyes suddenly burst into tears when he looked at the face in front of him. He would never forget this guy who ruined his face with a smile! "Mirror! Heart! Demon!" (End of this chapter)
