Chapter 317 Drinking Tea and Talking
Li Guanxuan knew very well that he didn't need to beat around the bush when chatting with the emperor. Just like he trusted the empress, he also trusted the emperor.
A man who yearned for freedom gave him two fortunes without hesitation.
When he was besieged by the royal family, he came out to rescue him without hesitation. For such a person, Li Guanxuan really couldn't find any reason to doubt him.
Under the bright moonlight, the two drank and admired the moon in the pavilion.
Li Guanxuan asked: "You also like double cultivation. Why don't you collect the Heavenly Dao World Tree?"
The emperor laughed and said: "Are you testing me again? Liking double cultivation is one thing, whether it can be recognized by the Heavenly Dao is another thing. Besides, being in the royal family, how can there be so many feelings? No woman will really like me. They just like the power in my hands and my strength."
At this point, the emperor put his hands behind his head and looked at the moon with a bored face.
"It's my fault. I've lived too cautiously."
Li Guanxuan smiled and punished himself with three cups of wine. The strong wine went through his throat and fell into his stomach, as if it was burning inside.
The emperor really understood and said, "If I get the Heavenly Dao World Tree, I will also doubt everyone, because only in this way can I better ensure my survival."
Speaking of this, the emperor said again, "You should reach the state of transformation as soon as possible. If you want to truly control your own destiny, you have to become a transformation god. Only in this way can you have your own place."
Li Guanxuan nodded slightly, looked at the night sky, and said with emotion, "I also want to see what the world above is like."
"I want to, too."
The emperor smiled and said, "I hope you won't let me down."
Everyone yearns for the real fairyland, because only there is a place that is truly suitable for longevity, free and unrestrained.
"I hope so." Li Guanxuan echoed with a smile.
"No more wine."
The emperor shook the wine pot, released his divine thoughts, and asked someone to bring in the wine.
Soon, a group of palace maids came in gracefully, holding the immortal wine that had been treasured for many years. Even if it was not opened, you could smell the refreshing aroma of wine.
A palace maid came to Li Guanxuan, picked up the wine pot with gentle and elegant movements, and poured wine for Li Guanxuan.
Suddenly, the wine pot in the palace maid's hand turned into a terrible killing weapon and suddenly hit Li Guanxuan.
The emperor smiled.
A golden light flashed in Li Guanxuan's eyes, and time froze. The wine pot was in front of him, but he could never touch him again.
A cold-armored giant Dharma image emerged, as if overlooking the entire Huangshan Mountain from the sky, with awe-inspiring power, and the Silent Blue Dragon Spear in his hand broke through layers of space, with infinite power.
In an instant, Huangshan Mountain shook, but soon disappeared.
Even the wine pot in front of Li Guanxuan stabilized in an instant and fell on the table.
The maid knelt down in fear and begged for mercy: "Please spare my life, my lord! Please spare my life! I don't know why this happened!"
Li Guanxuan smiled and raised his hand, his eyes looked towards the direction of Wujiu Mountain, and sighed:
"There are really people who don't believe in evil and have to come to Yongning to kill me."
The cold armor giant Dharma image appeared not only on Huangshan Mountain, but also on the other side of Wujiu Mountain. It was shrouded in cold light and emitted thousands of spears, as dense as a rain curtain, and instantly attacked a certain void.
The space was broken, and the cold armor giant Dharma image stretched out his left hand and grabbed a person.
Runes flew between his fingers, carrying layers of rules, locking the man tightly and unable to use magic power.
"There is no way, who made you carry the luck of three-tenths of wood, and now there are many people staring at you."
The emperor smiled.
Li Guanxuan shook his head helplessly, looked at the maid, and said: "It's none of your business, go down."
The maid was still trembling with fear, lowering her head in panic.
The emperor smiled faintly and said, "The prince has spoken. You don't need to worry too much. Go out."
"Yes, thank you, the emperor, thank you, the prince."
The maid felt a little relieved and quickly retreated.
Not long after, Tang Qing came to the outside of Ningshou Palace, and the emperor let him in directly.
Tang Qing walked in, holding an octogenarian in his hand.
The other party was already seriously injured, covered in blood, and had no idea how many bones were broken. He looked very miserable.
"I searched his soul. Qi Guo is in the middle stage of the spirit transformation. He has been hiding in Yongning Immortal City. Now he doesn't have many years to live. He plans to take this opportunity to break the defense ban of Wujiu Mountain and capture the princess and others alive to threaten the prince." Tang Qing said.
Li Guanxuan waved his hand, indicating that Tang Qing would solve it himself.
Tang Qing understood that such a middle stage spirit master of the spirit transformation is undoubtedly a good material for refining talismans and weapons.
Li Guanxuan asked in confusion: "In the eyes of outsiders, you are a land immortal. Didn't he think you could see through it when he set up this magic?"
In the eyes of others, the emperor was a land immortal in the Hedao period. Even if he was in the middle stage of Huashen, it was impossible to assassinate under the nose of a land immortal.
The emperor looked at the wine pot and smiled: "You and I have drunk a lot of wine and are a little drunk. The runes on the wine pot are related to wine, so we can hide the truth... Don't worry, I will deal with the situation in the palace later."
Li Guanxuan nodded slightly.
Whether the palace maid just now had any problems or not, we still had to investigate to know.
But Li Guanxuan was not very concerned about these things.
The other party could put spies in Ningshou Palace, which proved that there were people from other immortal dynasties on the emperor's side.
……
The next day.
After leaving Huangshan, Li Guanxuan went directly to Yanjia Xianshan, always accompanied by Tang Qing, the commander of the Soul Slaying Division who had just broken through to the Refining Void Stage.
When Li Guanxuan first arrived at Yanjia Xianshan, he found a book boy sweeping fallen leaves in front of the mountain gate.
The book boy soon noticed Li Guanxuan and Tang Qing, and quickly put the broom aside, stepped forward and bowed:
"Hello, Lord Commander, I am the master's book boy, named Chao Le. The master has specifically instructed that if the prince comes, just go directly to the peach blossom forest."
"Thank you, my friend."
Li Guanxuan smiled and bowed in return.
Chao Le saw Li Guanxuan like this, and immediately said happily: "The master is right, the prince is not as majestic as others, he looks like my uncle, gentle and elegant."
Hearing this, Li Guanxuan also smiled and asked: "What else did your master say to you?"
"That's not it." Chao Le smiled and said.
Li Guanxuan smiled and said, "How old are you this year?"
"Twelve years old!" Chao Le answered happily.
"What do you want to do when you grow up?" Li Guanxuan asked again.
"Like the master... Oh, forget it, I'm afraid I can't reach the master's level in my whole life. I'd rather be like Master Yan, be a teacher, and cultivate more outstanding talents for Daheng!" Chao Le said with a smile.
"These are all good ambitions, come on."
Li Guanxuan flipped his right hand, and a brand new brush emerged, and smiled and said, "This is for you. I hope you can become an outstanding talent in the future, contribute to Daheng, and help the emperor create a peaceful and prosperous world."
"Really?" Chao Le's eyes lit up.
Li Guanxuan nodded with a smile.
Chao Le hurriedly rubbed his hands on his clothes until they were a little cleaner, then he carefully stepped forward and took the brush with both hands, gratefully saying:
"Thank you, Your Majesty! I will work hard!"
"Okay, you continue to be busy." Li Guanxuan smiled.
"Hey, Prince, wait a minute."
When Li Guanxuan was about to follow the instructions and go inside, the book boy Chao Le stepped forward and whispered: "Recently, a man who looks gentle and elegant but actually has a bad temper came to the mountain, and his words are a bit unpleasant...
But the master is not angry. If the prince meets him later, don't take it to heart if you hear some unpleasant words."
"Is he scolding your master?" Li Guanxuan asked with a smile.
Chao Le nodded seriously.
"It's okay. I am quite happy to hear him scolding your master." Li Guanxuan laughed.
Chao Le was stunned for a moment, but saw that Li Guanxuan and Tang Qing had already fled.
Aren't all the people who come to visit the master his friends?
...
Yan Family Fairy Mountain, Peach Blossom Forest.
After the gorgeous peach blossoms fell to the ground, they slowly disappeared, and then continued to fall, creating an extremely beautiful and comfortable scenery here.
An old man with a hunched back was sitting at the table, silently copying the sage's scriptures. The air around him could be smelled with the fragrance of books and literature, even blending in with the fragrance of peach blossoms.
In addition to the hunched old man, there was a man and a woman.
The man was sitting in a wheelchair made of high-quality spiritual bamboo, dressed in white, with a square scarf on his head, dressed like a scholar, with a smile on his pale face, his eyes were dark and deep, but they hid a faint edge.
Behind the man stood a woman in black, with a dazzling long red hair that danced lightly in the wind, delicate features, but a frighteningly cold expression, which was quite inconsistent with the passionate red hair.
If Li Guanxuan guessed correctly, the scholar was the sixth disciple of the Confucian sage, the former smiling scholar, now the paralyzed scholar, Yu Liuhe.
As for the woman in black with long fiery red hair, she was the younger sister of the retired emperor and the empress, Princess Wu'an, Ji Tinglan.
When a guest came, the old prime minister with a hunched back rarely put down his brush, looked up at Li Guanxuan, and said with a smile:
"Your Majesty, I haven't seen you for many years. Please sit down quickly."
"I feel like sitting on pins and needles. I dare not sit down. I'd better stand. I hope the old man will understand." Li Guanxuan said with a smile.
The paralyzed scholar Yu Liuhe smiled and said, "Your Majesty, why should you be afraid of him? He is just an old immortal with a curse. No matter how powerful he is, he can't, let alone kill you in Yongning.
Besides, Lan'er and I are here. Even if someone dares to do it here, we can protect you with our lives. Please don't worry, sit down and have tea."
Princess Wu'an Ji Tinglan looked at Li Guanxuan, looking at him with her eyes, but she couldn't see what was special about him.
"Junior brother, you are right. Please sit down and have tea."
Yan Fuxian was not angry at all. He pointed to the two seats next to him and said with a smile: "Master Tang, please sit down too."
Tang Qing was also a veteran in the court and bowed slightly.
Princess Wu'an didn't sit down, so how could he dare to sit down?
He could only follow Li Guanxuan or stand behind him.
Li Guanxuan thought about it, then walked over and sat down. He moved his butt and couldn't help laughing: "It's quite comfortable."
"That's right. It's made of top-quality materials. I don't know if there is corruption or bribery in it." Yu Liuhe smiled and continued.
"That's not the case. Even if the old man is inconvenient, there are still many people willing to make some comfortable tables and chairs for him. What's more, Master Yan is the old man's eldest son. It is natural to respect his father. Master Yu, don't think wrongly." Li Guanxuan said.
"How dare I think of something wrong? If this gets out, wouldn't it mean that I framed the Prime Minister?" Yu Liuhe was still smiling.
"Shouldn't it?" Li Guanxuan pretended to be surprised.
"Sir Tang and others shouldn't gossip about others, but some people are not clean, and I am a little scared." Yu Liuhe's words were full of meaning.
Li Guanxuan was really surprised at this moment, and asked: "Why, Mr. Yu suspected that his previous injury was related to some people?"
"Yes, everyone says that the disciples of the Confucian saint are worthy of Daheng. But my second sister, third brother, and my brother Yu Bahuang all died without a complete body. If the fourth sister hadn't been protected by some luck, she probably wouldn't have survived. As for me..."
Yu Liuhe patted his legs and laughed at himself: "It should be because of pity that I ended up disabled."
This news is very explosive.
Even Tang Qing, who was standing behind Li Guanxuan, felt particularly heavy at this moment.
Li Guanxuan and Yu Liuhe were all hinting at the old Prime Minister, and Yu Liuhe even indirectly pointed out that the death of his senior brothers and sisters might have been caused by the eldest brother.
Yan Fuxian's old face, which had experienced many vicissitudes of life, always had a kind smile on it, without any angry look, and brewed tea very calmly.
"The tea is ready, little junior brother, princess, prince, Lord Tang, please try it and give some opinions." Yan Fuxian said with a smile.
Li Guanxuan took out a purification talisman and slapped it on the teacup. After noticing that there was nothing unusual, he picked up the teacup and smiled:
"It's an old problem, please don't blame me, old man."
Yan Fuxian smiled and nodded slightly, indicating that it was okay.
"Fifth-level purification talisman? The prince is willing to give it, but I have only one life, so I don't need to worry about anything." Yu Liuhe said with a smile.
"It's okay. They are all made by copying the assets of those traitors' families. I don't have to pay for the materials. It just takes some time and effort."
Li Guanxuan also smiled and said, "But the tea is good, not fishy."
Yu Liuhe said, "It's just a little bitter."
"You two should talk normally."
Princess Wu'an Ji Tinglan, who was holding a teacup, couldn't stand it anymore and stopped the two from being sarcastic.
"Then confess the game?" Li Guanxuan suggested.
"Does your lord think it's possible?" Yu Liuhe asked back with a smile.
"Then try to be honest, to the extent you can be honest." Li Guanxuan smiled.
"That's good, at least you don't have to be blindfolded and fooled by others." Yu Liuhe said with a smile.
The two also looked at Yan Fuxian at the same time, with questioning in their eyes.
Yan Fuxian smiled at the two of them and said, "You two have a tacit understanding."
"It's a pity that we met too late." Li Guanxuan laughed.
"I also have this idea." Yu Liuhe smiled.
Afterwards, Li Guanxuan put away his smile, stared at Yan Fuxian seriously, and asked:
"Prime Minister, I don't know what to do next, please point out a way so that I can go with peace of mind."
Yan Fuxian smiled and replied: "Your Highness, just do what you should do, but remember, don't trust the Qiu family too much. In the battle of Zhenbei Xiancheng, the Qiu family was watching the opponent. If Your Highness had not shown amazing strength, the reinforcements from Liang would not have arrived in such a timely manner."
Hearing this, Li Guanxuan narrowed his eyes.
He did think so at the time.
Qiu Qiong, the Queen Mother of Liang, did not take him seriously.
Even if he solved the cases of Mozhou and Fengzhou, she only thought that he had the ability to solve the curse evil spirit, and it was very likely that Li Zhong or the Queen Mother planned it behind it.
It was only after the actual battle in Zhenbei Xiancheng, when the three princes and heirs joined forces to kill him, but he killed one and repelled two, that the Queen Mother of Liang began to take him seriously.
"Besides that, does the Prime Minister have any other good suggestions?" Li Guanxuan asked.
"When necessary, we can seek cooperation from the Xiao family, or talk to the Regent."
Yan Fuxian said with a smile: "After the prince obtains the last two gold lucks, he can at least reach the peak of the Nascent Soul Great Perfection, but these two lucks are not enough to help the prince break through the bottleneck of the Spiritualization. For the sake of safety, the prince is better to get the earth luck, even if it is only 30%.
The earth luck of the Xiao family is basically in the hands of the Regent. The Regent has peeked into many avenues and has a deep understanding of the mysteries and mysteries of the avenues. At least he dares to claim to be second in the world, and no one dares to claim to be first.
The way the prince will go next is nothing more than comprehending the rules and enlightenment. Talking with this person may benefit a lot and gain some insights."
"Is the Prime Minister sure that the Regent will help me?" Li Guanxuan narrowed his eyes.
"Definitely."
Yan Fuxian nodded, drank a sip of tea and continued: "The Regent King does not want the Xiao family to continue to be trampled under the feet of the Qiu family. He has no hope of merging with the Dao, but the descendants of the Xiao family are protected by the luck of Liang State, and someone will definitely be able to merge with the Dao.
Therefore, the prince's visit to Liang State this time will be beneficial to the Xiao family and will still bring huge benefits and hope to the Xiao family. The Regent King will definitely tell you everything he knows, and the prince can rest assured."
Li Guanxuan suddenly realized and asked again: "Who do you think the Prime Minister should take with me to Liang State this time?"
"Except Li Zhong, there is no second choice."
Yan Fuxian smiled and said: "Li Zhong is now also a great perfection in refining the void, but his comprehension of the Dao is not as high as the Regent King. If Li Zhong has a chance this time, he can at least merge with the Dao successfully in the future and become a land immortal."
"Aren't you afraid of telling me the truth, Prime Minister?" Li Guanxuan sighed.
Yan Fuxian smiled and asked back: "Isn't it a confession?"
At this time, Yu Liuhe asked sharply: "Then, are the deaths of my senior brothers and sisters related to you?!"
Hearing this, Yan Fuxian fell silent, and the smile on his face disappeared unconsciously, as if he didn't know what to say.
Li Guanxuan watched silently without saying a word.
