As the concealed weapon fell from the sky, Hai Dongtian's gaze landed on Jiang Cheng. His eyes were filled with boundless profoundness, as if he wanted to pierce through the young man in front of him. After a long while, he suddenly laughed: "What a good way to take justice for the heavens! I presume this is the good nephew? It's been twenty years since you've grown up. "

Suddenly, the crocodile opened its eyes. It finally understood why it had waited for twenty years.

For twenty years, everyone could grow up. His own son could do it, and so could the son of his enemy!

He stared at the waiter and the beautiful woman for a long time. Finally, his gaze landed on the woman and he smiled. "I did not expect second brother to have such good fortune and daughter to have such a beautiful face!"

This was originally a sentence of praise, but the moment the crocodile heard it, it felt like the sound of ghosts howling in a region, causing goosebumps to rise all over their bodies.

He pointed at the crocodile in the middle of the river and said to the woman: "This is your Third Uncle, he is the one who caused your father to lose his mind! Haven't you already met them? " There was no trace of emotion on the woman's cold face. She didn't even blink. Hai Dongtian pointed at Jiang Cheng and said: "This should be your nephew, right? He should be older than you and can be considered your big brother!"

The woman still did not move, but her ice-like eyes looked towards River City.

This was originally an incomparably warm scene, but at this moment, it was filled with a ghastly and terrifying aura.

Liu'er had never had a home since she was young. During the chilly night, he had thought about what it would be like if he could find his parents and family one day. However, even though he had thought about it millions of times, he had never encountered such a situation before. He was a little scared and felt that it was good to be a wanderer.

"I didn't expect both children to be so afraid of birth. Forget about vulgar etiquette. What do you think, Third Brother? " Then he said to Jiang Cheng, "I didn't expect nephew to have such a high level of cultivation, congratulations! "Since nephew understands that the Heroic Assassins will act on behalf of the heavens, then please listen to the story between us and take a look at this Dao. Would nephew be able to do it?!"

River City did not speak.

Sometimes, not speaking meant that he had already answered.

A person could resist speaking, but could not resist not listening.

He sat on the floor and started telling a long story. After taking a deep breath, he slowly said, "My Tang Dynasty's Emperor Taizong is a wise king, but he killed his brother to succeed the throne. Everyone has different opinions about this. Regardless of what they thought, there had indeed been many tragic deaths during the war at the Black Tortoise Sect back then. They were both citizens of the Tang Dynasty, but because of the fight for the throne between the two princes, they began to kill each other. No matter who became the emperor, this kind of crime was extremely deep. So Emperor Taizong heard ghosts wail and souls every night, and his spirit gradually became haggard. "

Liu'er nodded as she listened to him talk about the Emperor. Although he was disrespectful, he had his reasons for doing so.

Hai Dongtian continued: "For twenty years, Emperor Taizong felt that his vitality was lacking. In order to eliminate his sin, he chased away ghosts and things. He decided to move to the temple, burn incense and Buddha, fasting for a month. It was during this month that Emperor Taizong, while touring the countryside, encountered a poor farmer, whose name was Xiang Liang. She had a daughter, and her appearance was not ordinary. She also had a bit of a simple and unsophisticated air about her, completely different from the scheming concubines in the imperial harem. Emperor Taizong had been in love for a long time, so he was lucky to have her. After the month of Ramadan, Xiangliang's family finally knew that he was the son of Tang Dynasty's emperor and that he had committed a heinous crime. And because that person's family background was so low, Emperor Taizong could do nothing about it. In the end, he did not bring that woman back to the palace. "

Liu'er thought to herself, "Everyone says that the emperor is good, but he's nothing special! So what if he was of humble birth? [I didn't even have a family background, so how could I not be born in the same world? Qingfeng Mingyue also did not miss me! "

"After Emperor Taizong returned to the palace, he often missed that woman, but he was afraid that the imperial concubines would be jealous and cause some sort of disaster. After thinking about it, I finally thought of a way — a way to faked death! "

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but exclaim in a low voice. It turned out that Emperor Taizong's idea of faking his death was indeed true.

It had always been rumored that Emperor Taizong had passed away for three days, then returned to the sun and came back to life. When Emperor Taizong returned to the mortal world, he realized that he had sinned deeply, and he pardoned the world, dispersing all his capital and helping the poor. At the time, people were singing praises of virtue, saying that Emperor Taizong was a wise king, blessed by the heavens, the end of his life.

However, there were also people who said that this was a method used by the Emperor to win over the hearts of the people.

"He used this method to inform the officials that he had a man named Xiang Liang. He worships ghosts and gods, and has amassed a lot of wealth in the underworld. He was able to return to the mortal world all because of this. He had made a note in the Underworld, he would definitely repay all the money he had borrowed. "The civil and military officials all believed it. Thus, the Emperor issued an imperial decree bestowing two hundred thousand taels of gold to the general's family. It could be considered as a matter of heart."

Hearing this, the crowd clamored once again. Two hundred thousand taels of gold. After all, such a large amount was enough to cause a lot of commotion. He finally understood why Taizong had faked his death all those years ago so that he could justify his actions. He couldn't help but sigh and sneer.

The more Liu Er heard about it, the angrier she got. "As the son of heaven, not only are you dark, you are also so stupid!" she thought. How can gold, silver, and treasure make up for that young girl's pure heart when she looks down on dirt and dung! " He could not help but retort angrily, "No matter how shiny the golden silt is, it can't buy that woman's purity! Only the filthy and smelly fecal pit will be able to tolerate it! "

When River Crocodile heard this, its face twitched. It was unknown what its thoughts were. Haotian chuckled, "This little Taoist is a hero. I only look down on beauties and not this filthy gold and silver. However, there are still very few heroes in the world. " He coldly laughed as he swept his eyes over the stunned crowd in the hall, and continued to speak, "Since Emperor Taizong has already bestowed two hundred thousand taels of gold to that family, there must definitely be someone to escort him. The escort was someone who not only had strong martial arts skills, but he was also one of the emperor's trusted aides as well. Otherwise, the matter of the Emperor faking his death would be completely useless. After much thought, Emperor Taizong finally decided to use the people of the Twelve Palaces! "

The Tang army had reorganized itself since the Grand Sect. They commanded the twelve guards of the central command and six percent of the eastern palace. The Twelve Guards usually only practiced kung fu, taking turns to guard the Emperor's safety. Sometimes, he would listen to the emperor's secrets and secretly perform some special tasks, belonging to the emperor's direct army.

Anyone who could become one of the Twelve Palaces must be a top-notch expert.

Hai Huan Tian finally stood up and spoke as if he had finished his story. His tone was different from before as he said word by word: "We three brothers are members of the Twelve Palaces! It just so happened to be selected, and is in charge of escorting the two hundred thousand gold! " There was a hint of killing intent in his voice, but more of pride.

Anyone who could do so should be proud.
