Chapter 1920 Li Shaojun enters the Anle Palace
Li Shaojun prides himself on seeing a lot, but this is his first time entering the palace.
The carriage in Anle Palace moved slowly and steadily. Lying on the fur furnishings of the carriage, Li Shaojun could hardly feel the vibration.
But the guards patrolling the palace made Li Shaojun extremely frustrated. This kind of place was heavily guarded. Even if he ran out, he would be shot down even if he was flying.
This requires Li Shaojun to act cautiously.
He only had to think about the Queen Mother, the leader of Huang Lao Taoism, and his reputation as the self-proclaimed inheritor of Taoism. Li Shaojun felt a little panicked for no reason.
Just as the famous Gongsun Gui imitated the Yin Yang family’s Zhao Xun, this rough and treacherous opposition faction also wanted to see the successor and helmsman of the orthodox Taoist faction.
There was no one else around Li Shaojun at this time. He looked left and right, fearing that someone would see through him.
Possessing the art of aging, three generations of Li Shaojun have relied on this trick to deceive and continue to flourish.
The appearance of the three generations of their grandparents were not exactly the same when they were young, but they were very similar in their aging state. When they were given the name Li Shaojun again, this also led to rumors that Li Shaojun was old, long-lived, and elusive.
But he knows his own affairs. Li Shaojun can fool many people, but there are some things that are difficult for him to fool.
Going to Anle Palace is a big test in his life. As long as he passes this level, his identity in the Han Dynasty will be determined and he will be able to move around Chang'an City smoothly.
If he fails to pass this level and messes up the situation, Li Shaojun can only ask these people to give him a complete corpse to avoid inconvenience when he is resurrected.
"Daozhang Li, Anle Palace is here!"
When Cui Yansong's relieved voice came, Li Shaojun responded with a low 'hmm'.
Li Shaojun's low voice was not a deliberate gesture, but that he was severely beaten and seriously injured by Zhang Xuezhou and Rong Tianding, and then forcibly healed by the Taiqing Zhen Technique. His health was indeed not in good condition.
It happened by coincidence. Zhang Xuezhou and others met Yi Yan, a medical officer from the palace.
But even if he had known in advance that the medical officer who first examined him was a concubine, Li Shaojun could have avoided being beaten at the time, but he would have been severely beaten later.
The Empress Dowager is not a fool, and many medical officers in the Imperial Medical Clinic are not unlearned. It is too difficult for Li Shaojun to pretend to be sick while remaining intact, so only the real condition can show the effect.
Normal people cannot play like this with Zhang Xuezhou and others, but Li Shaojun is not a normal person.
If the body can be recuperated well, he will recuperate it. If the recuperation is not good, he will wipe his neck and die to recover.
Due to various reasons, Li Shaojun came to Anle Palace with a 'real illness'.
After a brief announcement, the door of Anle Palace was opened, and a smell of ambergris mixed with a cold smell suddenly hit the nostrils.
Li Shaojun sniffed it slightly, and immediately knew in his heart that this was the evil spirit mentioned by Zhang Xuezhou.
“Fellow Daoist Dou, long time no see!”
Standing at the entrance of the main hall of Anle Palace, Li Shaojun did not step directly into the main hall door, but instead clasped his fists and saluted.
“I have admired the name of Fellow Daoist Li for a long time, but unfortunately I have never been able to meet him. I have difficulty walking and it is difficult to get up to greet me. I hope that Fellow Daoist Li will not be offended and please come in quickly!”
The Empress Dowager of Anle Palace is rare. Di Duo said a few words of welcome.
As if speaking took too much effort, the Empress Dowager gasped several times.
Li Shaojun looked at several pale old eunuchs and maids in the hall, and then at Cui Yan who was extremely polite and stretched out his hand to invite in.
"Fellow Daoist Dou, you need to get more sun. This sun is the nemesis of all darkness, and it can also make us old people healthy and prolong our lives." Li Shaojun slowly stepped into the Anle Palace.
"What Li Daoyou said is that unfortunately I am not in good health and need to receive incense for a long time. It is difficult to put this incense burner in an open place to incense and take a medicinal bath!"
Behind the screen, the Emperor The Queen Mother sighed heavily. Incense is smoked in a secret room, and it is not suitable to even open the door, let alone walk into an open area.
Since becoming seriously ill, the Queen Mother has not been in the sun for a long time.
Moreover, her body is affected by the corpse evil spirit and she also has an aversion to the sun. Even if she travels, she will choose to go at night instead of during the day.
The warm sunshine for the elderly is a luxury wish for the Queen Mother.
"Who did you fight with to end up like this?" Li Shaojun asked.
From the moment he first entered Anle Palace, Li Shaojun was in control to avoid being traced and questioned by the Empress Dowager.
What surprised Li Shaojun was that the Empress Dowager was indeed very polite to him. She was not impatient when asking questions, and she answered Li Shaojun's questions very carefully. Even if it involved confidential matters, she did not bother to explain them.
This is somewhat different from the impression brought about by Zhang Xuezhou's warning to be wary of the Empress Dowager, and also different from Li Shaojun's imagination of the Empress Dowager's strong control over the Han court.
It was difficult for him to imagine how the Empress Dowager, who was in such a weak body, could control so many high-ranking officials, princes and generals in the Han Dynasty.
"The demon Zhu Jiuyin is good at fire and intimidation. He doesn't seem to have the ability to control the evil spirit of corpses?"
"To be honest, I am careless. This is my incompetent weapon. My eldest son left a gift to Zhu Jiuyin, but I didn’t expect that it would be retribution on me!”
The Empress Dowager sighed in a low voice, with a hint of unwillingness in her voice.
Combined with Zhi Bu Ning and other masters stationed in Yangling, this can drive out almost 99% of the master monks.
You need to defeat Zhi Bu Ning and others, break through the traps set up step by step in Yangling, and even destroy the layout of Emperor Jing. Among the enemies of the Han Dynasty, only Zhu Jiuyin and other great demons can do this.
Emperor Jing made arrangements in Yangling, either turning into a yin object to protect him and becoming a new emperor, or else destroying the enemy with thousands of evil spirits and attacking Zhu Jiuyin, causing this old and long-lived monster to die of illness.
Everything was set up according to Emperor Jing's careful plan, but due to an unexpected mistake, the Empress Dowager suffered a serious disaster.
This situation makes the Queen Mother speechless.
She couldn't blame Emperor Jing, but only blamed herself for underestimating Emperor Jing, adding tricks to Emperor Jing's arrangements, and even wanted to kill the intruder with her own means, which led to her current end.
Li Shaojun couldn't help but take a breath of air as the story unfolded. He felt that those who escaped unscathed from the incident in Yangling were either very lucky or extremely talented.
Remembering that Zhang Xuezhou had once served as the Sima Ling guarding the Yangling Sima Gate, Li Shaojun only sighed that Zhang Xuezhou had a good life and did not fall into this kind of royal conspiracy.
"The corpse evil created by sacrificing thousands of people is extremely dangerous. Fellow Daoist Dou has almost no way to suppress the evil evil," Li Shaojun said bluntly.
Li Shaojun's blunt words made Cui Yan and other old eunuchs change their expressions, but the Empress Dowager behind the screen looked happy.
"The fact that there is almost no way to suppress it should not mean that there is no way, but that there is a way but it is difficult to do it. Is this what Li Daoyou means?" said the Queen Mother
"Dou Daoyou guessed it right," Li Shaojun said seriously.
“Young Taoist Li is knowledgeable and knowledgeable, and I hope you will give me some advice!”
The Queen Mother behind the screen pricked up her ears and wanted to hear the opinions of Li Shaojun, the inheritor of Jianghu Taoism.
After the exchange, the Queen Mother did not personally identify Li Shaojun's physical condition, but was constantly led away by Li Shaojun.
"Dongfang Shuo really has a way. What he said about preemptive strike makes sense. Old Mrs. Dou does care more about her own body than about my body, and she will definitely be attracted by these words, so she will most likely agree with me. Identity! "
Zhang Xuezhou's guidance is very useful, but Li Shaojun feels that he is also capable.
If he cannot come up with a reasonable plan for the Empress Dowager, Zhang Xuezhou's preemptive strike will be ineffective.
Combining Zhang Xuezhou's suggestions and Li Shaojun's knowledge, it was clear that he was only one step away from becoming a guest in Anle Palace.
