In the room, Li Ke curled up at the head of the bed, looked at the soldier who rushed into the room, watched Li Ze and his group who were staring at him up and down, left and right with interest, and his body trembled involuntarily. His trembling amplitude was so large that he even swayed slightly.

Li Ze walked to the bed, and immediately a guard took the glass lamp on one side and held it to the face of the fake Li Ke.

"Tsk tsk tsk!" Li Ze shook his head repeatedly and said with a sigh: "The world is so big, it's true that there are all kinds of strange things. This person is eighty-sixth of Li Ke. If I hadn't seen him in my heart, even if I saw this person at first, it would be difficult for me to clearly distinguish him. Xiang Lan, you really have put in a big effort. It took a lot of effort to find this person!"

"Those who have ambitions will succeed!" Xiang Lan, who was taken into the house, said with great confidence.

Li Ze laughed: "I deeply agree with this sentence. It is true that those with ambition will succeed. However, this sentence is used to inspire us to move forward bravely and not give up halfway, but if you really think that you will get rewards when you give, it will not be the case. It is important to know that in this world, many times, giving may not necessarily bring rewards. Sometimes, giving will get opposite returns."

Looking at the fake Li Ke on the bed, Li Ze took a few steps back and sat at the table. The guard immediately dragged him off the bed.

"Let him put on his clothes, and also call Yan Jiu." Li Ze said. "Get a chair for this man to sit. I have something to ask him."

Fake Li Ke was pressed and sat in front of Li Ze.

"May I have your name?"

"The little people's name is Fukugawa!" Although his voice was still hoarse, he could barely hear it clearly. This horror made his cold and his spirit look a little better.

"Are you from Lingnan?"

"Yes, the little people are from Pingtan's Thousand Grass Gang." Gu Chuan said tremblingly.

"How many years have you been found by Xiang? You must have been studying and training for a long time when you can speak such fluent Chang'an Mandarin?" Li Ze asked.

"yes."

"What else have you learned besides Chang'an Mandarin?"

Furukawa shook his head.

Li Ze thought for a moment, but suddenly realized: "I understand, there is no need to learn anything else. Once you come here, you will pretend to be sick. When things are almost done, they will naturally be killed and silenced. There is no need to learn anything else, Xiang Lan, right?"

Xiang Lan snorted coldly, turned her head but didn't say anything.

Li Ze shook his head and looked at Fukukawa with a pity and said, "Then when you set out to Wuyi, your family, even your neighbors and those who knew you, Daqing had been killed and silenced. Poor child, you are the only one now."

"No, no!" Fukukawa suddenly widened his eyes and retorted: "They said that as long as I am obedient, my family will have a lot of money, and they can also give land and houses."

Li Ze did not answer him, but said to Xiang Lan: "Xiang Lan, am I right? It's true that Li Ke has arrived in Lingnan. This fake one naturally has no need to exist. In order to conceal the things you have done, all traces of this Gu Xiao Ge will be erased."

"What's the difference between such a person and not dead?" Xiang Lan had returned to normal at this time and looked at Li Ze and said, "Li Ze, you don't need to be proud. Yes, you did win this battle in Zhenzhou. But we did not lose. At least, we took Li Ke away. Li Ke is the emperor of the Tang Dynasty. Next, the south will be united closely around my father because of his existence and compete with you for the world. And you will become a real traitor."

Li Ze laughed: "How can you just say it in this world?

He stood up, walked a few steps in the room, and said to Xiang Lan with a slight smug look, "Why don't you think about it? Your arrangement in Zhenzhou is completely understood by us. Everything is under our control. Before it was fully activated, we were extinguished one by one. It was stopped without even splashing water. Why was Li Ke able to escape smoothly?"

Xiang Lan's eyelids jumped and took a deep breath: "A wise man will have a mistake. You are a human being, not a god. How could you expect how we take every step? This is itself two different plans, and those who execute the plans do not know each other. What's so strange about success!"

Li Ze laughed.

"What's so funny?" Looking at Li Ze's expression, Xiang Lan was inexplicably uneasy.

Before Li Ze could speak, a voice suddenly came from outside the house.

"Li Xiang, the most general Chengyong asked for a meeting!"

"Come in!"

Cheng Yong stepped in. Even though he had already cleaned himself before coming to see Li Ze, there was still a faint smell of blood all over his body.

"Li Xiang, the last general will wipe out more than 2,500 Xiang rebels near Huangliuzhuang. He led his troops and generals Xiang was below, and no one could escape." Cheng Yong bowed.

Li Ze glanced at Xiang Lan, the other party shivered slightly, his teeth bit his lips tightly, and blood oozed out of his mouth.

The door rang again, Gongsun Changming stepped into the door with all directions, looked at Li Ze, and smiled with his fists: "Li Xiang, the city of Zhenzhou has been cleaned up. Five hundred and seventeen people, including their stakes, have been removed. Among them, 214 people resisted stubbornly and were killed on the spot. The remaining people were captured. In addition, more than ten houses were burned down, twenty-four people were injured, seven people died, seven soldiers on our side were injured, and nineteen people died in battle. Tian Bo is dealing with the follow-up matters."

Li Ze nodded and said to Xiang Lan: "What else do you have to say now?"

"What's there to say?" Xiang Lan suddenly looked up and said coldly: "This game of chess is only played in the middle game. Although you have a little advantage, you have not controlled the overall situation. The south is unified and there is an emperor in your hands. Who in the world knows that you are planning to usurp the throne? It's unknown if you have the right to do it. Xiang Lan is just a woman. If you fall into your hands, it won't hinder the overall situation. Although the Lingnan people are completely destroyed here, they cannot hurt the Xiang family. Li Ze, you are too proud."

Li Ze looked at the other party for a while and shook his head slowly, "I am planning to usurp the throne? You are wrong. Li is a descendant of the Qin King. Even if he becomes the emperor in the future, it will be just a matter within the Li family. Moreover, what is the death of the Supreme Emperor? Do you think you can hide it from the world? In order to assassinate me and attack His Majesty, Xiang's death of the Supreme Emperor was used as bait to lure me back from the front line of the pseudo-liang. His heart is punishable. These facts will be revealed to the world. In this world, people with insight can naturally see the tricks in it at a glance and see through the true purpose of Xiang's family hidden after these obvious things."

Xiang Lan stared at Li Ze, but for a moment, he couldn't understand what Li Ze meant.

"How could we plot to assassinate Your Majesty? We just want to kill you, and Your Majesty is now in Lingnan! People in the world will know this fact immediately. Xiang sacrificed thousands of elite subordinates and rescued Your Majesty from your clutches."

Li Ze smiled slightly, turned to look at the side of Gu Chuan, who was still trembling and said, "Who said that His Majesty the Emperor is in Lingnan? His Majesty the Emperor is clearly here, sitting opposite you. And in Lingnan, the person in your hands is called Gu Chuan, who is from Pingtan Maocaogang."

"You are shameless!" Xiang Lan is also an extremely smart person. In the flash of lightning, she already understood what Li Ze said. She struggled to pounce on Li Ze, but was firmly held by the two female guards. No matter how they twisted, they could not escape from the other party's control. She could only open a pair of fire-breathing eyes and stare at Li Ze. If her eyes could kill people, Li Ze would probably have died countless times.

"In the next period of time, the Tang Dynasty Weekly will announce this incident, including the death of the Supreme Emperor and the assassination of Li, and other incidents, one after another." Li Ze walked to Xiang Lan, leaned down slightly, stared at Xiang Lan and said, "I think there will be good people going to Pingtan Maocaogang to find out. If I expected it, everyone in every place should have died and the village was destroyed. They can't find a living person. But, the geese leave traces, people leave voices, and there may be many people who know Guchuan. You may not be able to kill them all? Moreover, such a village was inexplicably slaughtered by someone, which is enough for people to think of many interesting things."

Xiang Lan gasped heavily and looked at Li Ze. This time, not only the corners of her mouth, but also the corners of her eyes, there was a trace of blood oozing out.

Li Ze shook his head: "Madam, you look so ugly like this. You need to know now what it means to be self-bound."

Xiang Lan looked at the side with a confused look on her face and said with a ignorant look: "I should have killed him."

Li Ze laughed loudly and turned around and walked out the house: "Xiang Lan, in order to kill me, you buried five buckets of hot turbid oil under the coffin of the Supreme Emperor. You guys are really cruel. Not only did you kill the Supreme Emperor, you didn't even want to leave a complete body for him. You really don't want to be a son of man. Since you have carefully arranged all this, we should finish the show. Come and enjoy this grand performance with me! Everything is arranged by you personally, and you should also watch the final ending."

The group walked out of the house and looked towards the east courtyard.

A moment later, with a loud bang, countless fireworks rose into the sky amid the violent explosion in the East Courtyard, illuminating the entire night sky like daytime.

Amid the gorgeous fireworks, Xiang Lan's desperate eyes slowly dimmed, and finally, her head drooped weakly.

"Li Xiang, she, she is dead!" A female guard reached out and touched Xiang Lan's neck, and said in surprise.
Chapter completed!
