The Xiao Yao Faction
Chapter 240 Li family armory
Right now, Huang Xiao and Li Deming had entered Prince Xia's Palace, said to be the royal palace, but its momentum and scale were basically the same as the royal palace. In the Song Dynasty, no prince dared to build a residence of this size. At that time, Huang Xiao had also seen the House of Prince Jin, but compared to the House of Prince Xia, he was much inferior.
In fact, this is normal. Li Jiqian was the emperor here now. To be honest, even though he was now tied to Khitan, he still made his decision here.
“Brother!” At this moment, a young man appeared in front of the two of them.
Huang Xiao looked at this person, since this person referred to Li Deming as his eldest brother, he was clearly his younger brother. Huang Xiao learned that Li Jiqian had two sons, the eldest son Li Deming and the second son Li Dezhao. Then the one in front of him was Li Dezhao, his appearance was somewhat similar to Li Deming, yet Li Dezhao looked even thinner.
“That's the second brother, where are you going?" Li Deming inevitably asked when he saw his brother walking out.
“I heard the eldest brother went to pick up the antidote. I was just going to take a look, but I didn't expect the eldest brother to have returned. Did you get the antidote?" Li Dezhao asked.
Li Deming did not reply, but said: "There is something important that I must do and I must go see my mother immediately. We'll talk about it later."
After saying that, he ignored Li Dezhao and led Huang Xiao towards the inner palace in a hurry.
Li Dezhao did not follow, but just stood there and watched the two people leave. After standing for a while, I don't know what he was thinking, but his expression changed several times, and he finally turned around and walked towards the inside of the palace.
After being reported by his servant, Huang Xiao followed Li Deming to a palace and met Princess Xia, Li Deming's biological mother.
Huang Xiao took a moment to look towards Princess Xia. The princess should be about forty years old. Due to her noble status and good care, she looked to be in her early thirties. In terms of appearance it can not be said to be stunning. But Huang Xiao also knew that the princess must have been beautiful when she was young.
“Tomorrow, has the antidote been refined?” Princess Xia asked hurriedly after removing the guard maids in the palace.
“Mother, I have to keep this matter a secret~~~~” Li Deming tells the story of the robbery of the antidote in detail.
After listening, Princess Xia said with lingering fear: "Fortunately, Mr. Wang made the arrangements early, otherwise, if the antidote is really taken, then your father~~Oh, you will be, I understand what you're saying, don't worry, you're my father, I, who will manage everything."
"Daughter, Mistress. Those people have taken the fake antidote. I fear they will use the antidote as a bargaining chip and may propose some terms of exchange. I also asked the princess to handle it carefully and tried to hide it from them. The best thing is to postpone it. Three days," Huang Xiao said.
“Huang Shaoxia, I must try my hardest to hold them.” Princess Xia also knew that this matter had to do with her husband's safety, so naturally she wouldn't take it lightly.
"Empress, Crown Prince. If possible, try to meet all the conditions they submit, so that they feel that the antidote in their hands is real and is the thing we really want. This way, we can use the actual antidote. Detoxifying King Xia would reduce many hidden dangers" Huang Xiao said.
“As long as we can safely detoxify King Xia, everything will not be a problem,” Princess Xia said.
“Confidential ‘Arsenal’?” Hearing this, Princess Xia frowned. He said, "Ming'er, are you sure?"
"Now it's no longer ten o'clock. The only thing that can make them care is that our palace is a secret in this 'arms warehouse. I can't believe they're here for money or beautiful women" Li Deming said.
"That would be troublesome. 'This 'Warehouse' can only be accessed at your father's behest. Otherwise, not even the queen mother would be allowed to enter," Princess Xia said with a worried expression on her face.
“I want to know what this 'arsenal' is?" Huang Xiao asked with a hint of confusion. Of course, he knew from the meaning of the word 'arsenal' that there must be many martial arts secrets hidden within it.
"It's not a secret. All the sects with certain backgrounds in the world knew this. This is a martial arts secret collected by my Li family ancestors. There were many first-class skills and even peerless skills. So fight this. There are countless people in the world who have ideas about this exercise," Li Deming said.
Huang Xiao nodded Although Li Deming only said it simply, Huang Xiao knew in his heart that the secret in this 'arms warehouse' might not be simple. I also have many secrets in the Valley of the Poison Gods, but they might not be as good as the Li family's arsenal. In terms of actual strength and status, the Li family power that dominated the five continents and claimed the title of king could not be matched by the Poison God Valley itself. Even a power like him was targeted by many, which showed just how attractive this 'armament' was to them.
"If it wasn't for Senior Wang and Big Brother Huang this time, I wouldn't have been able to get the antidote. If my father's poison is cured, I will definitely ask my father to allow you to enter the 'arms' and select the technique" Li Deming said.
Huang Xiao smiled and said: "His skills are good, but now is not the time to talk about this. According to what the empress said, if the other party were to actually request the 'Arsenal' secret book, then the empress and the prince would not be able to do it, right?"
"That's it. No one could enter unless there was father's permission," Li Deming said.
Huang Xiao understood that there might be an expert guarding this ‘forwardship’, who only acknowledged Li Jiqian's wishes.
"In short, we're just stalling. Whatever happens, we can't leave the secret to them. As for how to postpone it, it depends on the empress and the prince. But I don't think they're going to reveal this. They were sure It was very clear that with the current situation where King Xia was in a coma, it was impossible to issue an order. Unless you force your way in, you won't be able to give them the secret.Book, will you?" huang Xiao said.
"Yes, even though everyone wants to get the secret of 'Arsenal', they should also know very well that without father's will, we can't get the secret in it. So what conditions will they apply?" Li Deming frowned. He frowned, thinking of the various possibilities in his mind.
“No matter how the conditions are, just wait until their people come.” Knowing that her husband had been saved, Princess Xia was naturally in a good mood and regained the majesty that a princess should have.
“Empress, how do you look?” whispered Huang Xiao.
Princess Xia was stunned for a moment, calming down her momentum, her face again showed worry and exhaustion, then she smiled at Huang Xiao and said: "Huang Shaoxia, she's a fan, I will pay attention to my words and deeds to make sure that I am okay before. I'm goin. Oh. Oh, I also can't laugh~~"
Huang Xiao looked at Princess Xia's expression and shook her head helplessly.Although Princess Xia tried her hardest to return her expression to before, the change in her mood was still hard to hide. No matter how hard you try to hide it, your expression will still be different from before.
However, Huang Xiao believed that hiding it from most people should be possible, unless they were very close to the princess, it would be difficult to detect some subtle changes of Princess Xia.
