The Master of Cultivation rises up

Ouyang Hongxiu from the Ministry of Criminal Justice took the lead in arresting people. Li Daoan had saved his life. When he learned that the Holy Majesty wanted to arrest Li Chao, he volunteered to prevent others from neglecting or abusing Li Chao.

Ouyang Hongxiu finished three sticks of incense in the mourning hall, bowed his hands to Li Chao, and said, "Third Young Master, the Holy Spirit has ordered that Third Young Master go to the Ministry of Punishment for interrogation. Please, Third Young Master, please follow me."

Unexpectedly, Li Chao hadn't spoken yet, but Li Mian spoke first. She stood in front of Li Chao with her sword and shouted loudly, "Why are you going to the Ministry of Criminal Justice for questioning? Brother, let's not go!"

"Shh!"

Seeing Li Mian showing his weapon, the Habayashi guards also showed their weapons in unison, and the atmosphere was tense instantly.The ghost in wedding dress flicked his red sleeves, and a strong wind rose from the ground. The red shirts joined hands, and the white flags surged. The guards of the Habayashi were blown upside down, and their weapons fell to the ground in disarray.In an instant, the wind was calm, and the fluttering black hair fell slowly, revealing his pale face that did not seem to be alive.

"Who dares to move!"

The voice of the ghost in wedding dress seemed to come slowly from the Nine Nether Deep Sea, with a cold killing intent, like maggots on tarsal bones, making Habayashi Wei feel cold all over his body, he looked at each other and dared not move.The dead are the most important, and lighting weapons in the mourning hall is a desecration of the deceased, and the wedding dress ghost will never let people do this.

"Sister, put away the sword."

Li Chao reached out to hold Li Mian's trembling hand, and pressed down the long sword.He walked up to Ouyang Hongxiu.The other party did not come up to arrest people indiscriminately, but only mentioned the matter after the incense was burnt. From this point alone, Li Chao knew that at least the person in front of him was not malicious, but he was in the court and could not help himself.

He cupped his fists and apologized to Ouyang Hongxiu: "My sister is reckless, if I offend my lord, Li Chao is here to apologize for her, and I hope my lord will forgive me, don't blame her."

"The third son is serious, and we can understand the mood of the second lady. Sigh, the world is impermanent, I didn't expect the Huguogong to be like this... I think back then, my life was saved by the Huguogong. I don’t want to do this. It’s just that the Holy Spirit has an order, and we, as courtiers, dare not disobey. If the third son is considerate of this official, it’s better to go to the Ministry of Punishment.”

Ouyang Hongxiu brought up the past this time, no doubt showing his favor to Li Chao.Li Chao's affection for him could not help but rise a bit.Although Li Chao had never met the head of the Ouyang family, but he heard that his father had a very close personal relationship with the Ouyang family before his death.Even so, Li Chao asked boldly: "I don't know what Li Chao has committed. I need to work hard, sir. I wonder if I can ask you to give me some pointers?"

Ouyang Hongxiu looked around, put his head next to Li Chao's ear, and said softly: "I heard that the Liu family participated in your book in front of the emperor, and with the help of other families, this is why..."

"Thank you, my lord. Let's go." Li Chao nodded knowingly. Although the Li family's power in the court is not at its peak, it can even be said to be the weakest.However, the Li family's prestige still exists in the army, and the soldiers of the three armies also respect Li Dao'an very much.Although the royal family feared the Li family, they did not dare to blatantly suppress it.This time Li Daoan passed away, and the government was in constant turmoil due to the Regent's rebellion. With such a good opportunity, the other families who were not used to the Li family would naturally not let it go.Two Habayashi guards stepped forward to shackle Li Chao, but were stopped by Ouyang Hongxiu.Li Chao thanked Ouyang Hongxiu and offered to extend his hands.

"My lord's kindness, Li Chao appreciates it. Even if the sage has an order, let's follow the rules, so as not to make it difficult for your lord to make things happen."

The heavy shackles full of rust locked Li Chao's thin wrists and ankles. After walking two steps, the chains dragged on the ground and rattled.Li Chao turned his head to appease Li Xiao and Li Mian. "It's just a routine questioning at the Ministry of Punishment. Master Ouyang will take care of me. You don't have to worry. I'll go back as soon as I go."

After finishing speaking, Li Chao followed Ouyang Hongxiu and left without looking back.Li Mian watched his younger brother leave, but hadn't recovered from the blow just now.Others may not have heard it, but she was the closest to Li Chao, and she could hear Ouyang Hongxiu's words clearly. She knew that someone would definitely make trouble at this juncture, but she never expected that this person turned out to be her grandfather!

The Liu family of the Ministry of Rites is exactly Liu Qianran's natal family.

how come……

Li Mian covered her mouth, her heart was completely cold.The innocent little girl in the past died completely at this moment.

She turned around, her eyes were clearer than ever before.She said to Li Xiao with an extremely firm voice: "Brother, come with me, let's file a lawsuit!"

Li Chao was taken to a clean cell of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. The family of criminal soldiers, Li Daoan took care of the people in the Ministry of Criminal Justice during his lifetime, and with Ouyang Hongxiu's management, the jailers probably would not embarrass Li Chao.Seeing the young man imprisoned in a dark cell with gray hair made him not very embarrassed.He can only help him more within the scope of his duties.However, what Ouyang Hongxiu didn't know was that the seemingly weak Li Chao was far stronger than he showed.

Li Chao sat down cross-legged, his armor had faded, and he was wearing a loose prison uniform, sitting on the cold ground.He doesn't seem to be doing anything, but it makes people feel that he is doing something mysteriously.The prisoners in the surrounding cells were all looking at this silent boy curiously—it should be a boy, judging by his figure, but no boy had such hair.They talked a lot, but no one dared to speak up.They can't afford to offend anyone who is held in that cell.

Li Chao was thinking.

In Li Chao's thinking, the truth of many things that he didn't understand before surfaced little by little.His father made great military exploits, his skills were extraordinary, and he was usually protected by elite cavalry from the Li family, so the cause of his death was too strange.Duan Mude has been plotting rebellion for many years, Li Chao knows that such a person is the most tolerant, but he chose to raise troops at this time, and so hastily, there must be some reason behind it that threatens him or greatly increases his strength.Li Chao tended towards the latter, thinking of the man in black with his face burned, Li Chao silently kept that person in his heart.There is also Duanmuyu's elite troops descending from the sky, the timing is just right, if he is not involved in this incident, he will not believe Li Chao's death.And... Li Chao couldn't bear to bring the matter to Duan Mujin, but the facts were in front of him, and he couldn't ignore them.After all, his relationship with Lu Jiuxian was not good enough for the other party to take the risk of coming to the rescue.

Li Chao is not an idiot, he came to the final conclusion after deliberation, he closed his eyes, and exhaled a long breath.He is too weak now, after this battle, the vitality of the Li family has been seriously injured, and there are some things that he cannot do now.But this doesn't mean that Li Chao won't do it.It's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge. He owed them blood debts, and Li Chao will have to pay them back sooner or later!

Li Chao stayed in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice for seven days.Within seven days, no one came to interrogate, and no one came to visit. Facing the cold cell wall, Li Chao felt a little uncomfortable. Could it be that something happened in the court?He began to fidget and tried to find Ouyang Hongxiu through the jailer who delivered the food several times to ask about the situation, but he never saw Ouyang Hongxiu, as if everyone had forgotten him.Li Chao's mood became worse and worse, and he even thought of escaping from prison.

He finally resisted the thought.

On the morning of the seventh day, the haze that had hovered over Dongdu for a long time finally dissipated, and the long-lost sunlight filtered through the narrow window lattice and entered Li Chao's cell.This is the only room in the prison where you can see the sunlight. The golden sunlight shines on Li Chaoruxue's silver hair, giving off a golden light from his body.

As soon as he entered the door, Duanmuyu saw Li Chao bathed in the sun, looking thin and slender, with a faint immortal air, sacred and inviolable.It was hard to imagine that such a young man would have Shura's blood-stained cruelty and violence.That night, Li Chao's bloody ferocity and despair still surfaced in Duan Muyu's heart from time to time, making him shudder.

This son is fierce as a tiger, ruthless as a wolf, and will soon be like a dragon coming out of the water, unstoppable, therefore, don't stay!

Can't you stay? Duanmuyu thought of the words of the national teacher yesterday and was noncommittal.He is the divine phoenix in charge of the world. He is supreme and soars all over the world. Everyone will surrender under his wings. A small Li Dynasty is not to be feared.

The sharp voice of the eunuch in charge rang out suddenly with a long tone: "The emperor is here!" Duan Muyu saw the young man sitting cross-legged sweeping his sleeves and kneeling on the ground.Silver-white hair hangs down quietly, covering his expression. "Criminal Li Chao, see the emperor." The young man's tired voice came to his ears, as if he came from afar from the depths of time, and he couldn't hear it clearly.For some reason, Duanmuyu actually had the illusion of being in another world.

"Aiqing is flat."

Li Chao was stunned by the unexpected voice, and his movements stagnated for a moment. After that, he stood up slowly, and took in the bright yellow figure in front of his eyes.Duanmuyu was wearing a phoenix robe, with a phoenix blade symbolizing imperial power pinned to his waist, and the personal eunuch who once served Duanmuzhi followed behind him. Everything was different from what Li Chao expected.

In just seven days, Duanmuyu became a great treasure and became the supreme ruler of the world. What happened in these seven days?Li Chao couldn't figure it out, he had too many questions in his mind, but this moment was not a good time to ask.

"Thank you Your Majesty for your grace."

Duanmuyu smiled, with a look of sympathy for his subordinates. "I have wronged Aiqing in the past few days, Eunuch Gao, why don't you take care of Aiqing to undress?" Duanmuyu raised his hand, and immediately the eunuchs came forward to wash Li Chaojing's face and kick on his boots to dress him.After everything was over, a completely new Li Chao appeared in front of Duanmuyu. If it wasn't for his white hair, he would have thought that everything was the same as before, without any changes.

However, they all know that the past days can no longer go back.

Duanmuyu nodded to the eunuch beside him. After the latter bowed and saluted, he took two steps forward and took the bright and yellow edict from the little eunuch next to him with both respectful hands.

"Li Chao received the order~~~"

Li Chao knelt on the ground again, resting his forehead on the back of his folded hands, lowered his body low, listening to the eunuch's words, cast his eyes on the messy grass roots on the ground, and sneered to himself.Li Chao noticed the word "first emperor" mentioned in the imperial decree, and was not surprised.Now that Duanmuyu ascended the throne, with his personality, there would definitely not be such an existence as the Supreme Emperor.

Hearing Duanmuyu's award to the Li family, Li Chao felt ironic.Duanmuyu couldn't shirk the blame for the Li family's fall into today's situation. Li Chao is not ready yet, he needs to wait, when the time comes... Li Chao put away his sneer, and thanked him with gratitude.

Duanmuyu personally went to the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice to pick Li Chao out of prison, and acted as a show of kindness and power in front of the officials. He wanted to let the officials know that he, Duanmuyu, was the master of the Immortal Dynasty, and that the life and death of the officials were all under his control. .He is the supreme king!Everyone must surrender!

After coming out of the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, the long-lost sunshine hurt Li Chao's eyes, making him have the urge to cry.The eunuch in official uniform came forward and said respectfully: "Young Master, let's set off." Li Chao nodded, stepped into the imperial carriage, and took the things that Duanmuyu rewarded, and walked in a mighty manner. Go back to Li's house.

He thought the turmoil would calm down, but Li Chao didn't expect that Gongsun Qingxi would disappear from his home.
