Yang Kang left Xiping Mansion and went to Zhongxing Mansion, the capital of Xixia Kingdom. His Majesty the Emperor does not want to be overly involved in the internal affairs of the Mingjiao. This purge is defined as a partisan dispute within the Mingjiao and has nothing to do with external forces. The Mingjiao is a relatively closed and exclusive religious organization. If someone from the Mingjiao discovers that there are other forces intervention may have the opposite effect. His only request is not to hurt Qu Feiyan. Qu Feiyan is the descendant of Peach Blossom Island. Presumably no one in the Mingjiao wants to cause this trouble. He only needs to let Huang Rong take Qu Feiyan back to Peach Blossom Island afterwards. Yang Kang believes that Lou Shi Dao can handle this matter properly. Relying on Murong Yan's relationship, he successfully entered the Zhongxing Mansion and met up with Li Mochou, who had already arrived here. The senior sister of the Ancient Tomb Sect still had her resentment towards His Majesty the Emperor, and she looked at Yang Kang with a rather unkind look, especially Yang Kang was wearing Lu Zhanyuan's mask at the moment. "Where is Lu Zhanyuan?" Li Mochou asked coldly. "He is being tortured in the prison." His Majesty the Emperor replied cheerfully. "As a spy, not only did he fail to fulfill his duties, but he also made a mess. Should he be punished? Speaking of which, there is a princess among them. A credit to His Highness." "You" Li Mochou pointed at Yang Kang with an indignant look on his face. Seeing that there was going to be a stalemate as soon as the two sides met, Murong Yan quickly stopped the two of them and asked about Li Mochou's progress these days. The senior sister of the Tomb Sect followed Murong Yan's instructions and rushed all the way to the Xixia Kingdom to contact Li Mochou who was loyal to Li Chengzhen. He learned about his brother's latest situation. Since the compromise with Mongolia, Li Chengzhen became the puppet emperor of the Xixia Kingdom, and a group of former ministers of the Xixia Kingdom maintained the appearance of a dynasty on the surface. In fact, these people were just messers, and all the decrees of the Xixia Kingdom were It was created by the Mongols. As Mongolia strengthened its rule over Xixia, there were already plans to abolish the Xixia royal family and merge Xixia into the territory of Mongolia. The Western Xia Emperor Li Chengzhen has lived a sensual life for the past three years. This is confusing the Mongolians. The Mongolians do not want to see a puppet emperor who is working hard to govern and strive for self-improvement. At the same time, he is also indulging himself in such a repressive environment. , if he still can't vent, he may die of worry and panic like his predecessor. This is how habits are slowly formed. In the past three years, Li Chengzhen has changed from an aspiring prince who was dedicated to restoring his country to a lustful and cruel Xixia emperor. At first, he was really trying to confuse the Mongols. He would secretly make some small moves in an attempt to contact ministers with military power in various places, but he failed time and time again. His failure plunged him into despair, and he began to give up on himself and settle for pleasure until he saw Li Mochou and heard the news from Li Mochou. Just like when he first met His Royal Highness King Wan Yankang of Jin Guoying in Chang'an City, Li Chengzhen felt that God had given him a chance, but this time he was still the same person. The Emperor of Xixia thought that this time was the real opportunity, and he What he wanted was not to rely on Wan Yankang's power to restore the country, but to directly replace him and become the emperor of the Song Dynasty. Since Wanyankang can successfully usurp the throne, so can he. Of course, he didn't tell his sister this idea. He still needed to use Wanyankang's power to escape from this prison and gain freedom. Then as long as he got rid of Wanyankang, he put on a mask and returned to the Central Plains to control the power of Song and Jin. , and if he goes back to regain Xixia, he will accomplish great things. Yang Kang listened to Li Mochou's introduction and made a calculation in his mind. He didn't really want to rescue Li Chengzhen, but wanted to kill Li Chengzhen. Li Chengzhen already knew his secret. If he told the Mongols, the consequences would be disastrous, so he must first Rescue Li Chengzhen from the Xixia Palace, and then get rid of everyone who knows the inside story. It is not difficult to rescue Li Chengzhen from the palace. It is rare to escape from Zhongxing Mansion. The last time he escaped by chance was because of Yang Tiexin. As an escape expert, Yang Kang was unwilling to place his hopes on such an accidental incident, so he had to do It was a perfect escape plan, but he didn't want to be chased by the Mongolian cavalry again. That would be a terrible feeling. Murong Yan went to contact his former subordinates, hoping to get support, while Yang Kang went to a Ao Temple in Zhongxing Prefecture, which is a temple of the Ao Sect. Since Li Yan, Emperor Wuzong of the Tang Dynasty, destroyed Buddhism in the fifth year of Huichang in the Tang Dynasty, the Ao Sect has been established in the Central Plains. The region gradually declined, but prospered in the Western Region. Manichaeism and Aoism are similar in beliefs and rituals. They both advocate light and flames, and believers cannot distinguish them. They are collectively called Zoroastrianism. In comparison, Aoism has a strong influence in the Western Regions, and Lou Shidao took advantage of it. This allowed Mingjiao believers to infiltrate into the Yao religion and gradually master the Yao ancestral temples of the Yao religion in various places to prepare for his grand strategy in the Western Regions. Yang Kang came to the Ao Temple and contacted the person in charge of the Ming Cult here. He was an Alu from the Ao Temple. These people were the focus of training by Lou Shidao. Once the great purge within the Ming Cult was completed and the thoughts were unified, will leaveOn the road to expansion, these Mingjiao believers will be the internal responders. What His Majesty the Emperor wanted to know was whether he could take refuge in the Aozu Temple after rescuing Li Chengzhen. The person in charge looked at the token in his hand and nodded solemnly. This token showed that the person in front of him was the person Lou Zuoshi trusted the most. , so that even if you sacrifice yourself, you still have to protect this person's safety. Mingjiao believers really have a sacrificial spirit! This spirit is commendable, but also a bit scary. The power of religion should never be underestimated. Yang Kang reminded himself in his heart that after the agreement was reached, the person in charge sent Yang Kang out of the Ao Temple. Just as His Majesty the Emperor walked out of the Ao Temple, a car The carriage stopped in front of the Ao Temple, and two women got out of the carriage, one of whom was obviously a maid. When the woman saw Ah Ku of the Coat Temple seeing off guests, she bowed slightly, and then walked into the Coat Temple with her maid. Her eyes swept across Yang Kang's face without stopping, but Yang Kang was stunned, because This woman is none other than the Mongolian princess Hua Zheng. "This is" Yang Kang said doubtfully. "A devout believer." The person in charge responded. His Majesty the Emperor didn't say anything else. He could tell from the tone of this man's voice that this person didn't know Hua Zheng's true identity, so let's forget it. If someone from the Mingjiao knew about this, they would probably take advantage of Hua Zheng again. The status is a matter of fact, but Zhongxing Mansion will soon become a war-torn place. I hope Hua Zheng can leave as soon as possible. The Mongolian princess Hua Zheng walked into the temple, knelt in front of the statue of the God of Light and prayed devoutly. In order to avoid the increasingly fierce conflict between the two factions in Mongolia, Wokuotai and Tuolei, she left Qudiaolan City and came to Zhongxing Mansion in Xixia Kingdom, where she lived an unknown and secluded life. She didn't know she had just met the man who would influence her life. (To be continued.)
