Chapter 22 Two hundred catties mountain
Li Ye did not participate in the pursuit of Xuanwu's army.
After breaking the Dao Army battle formation with one sword, he also felt quite weak. This was the first time he mobilized the luck power of the people in the fairyland after he was promoted to the Earth Fairyland. As a result, because he had no experience, he did not retain any reservations when he took action. As a result, he used too much force and consumed his strength.
However, it is worth it to be able to break a thousand war formations with one sword.
One-third of the Taoist soldiers fell under the sword energy, and most of the remaining ones were injured. But their cultivation was good, so saving their lives was not a problem, so it was not difficult to withdraw safely.
As the biggest reliance of the Immortal Court to sweep the world, the Taoist soldiers were not so easy to deal with. After Li Ye's sword broke through the opponent's defensive light shield, their power actually decreased a lot.
To deal with Taoist soldiers and establish a team of pure monks of similar levels is the best method.
The immortal cultivators who were ordered by He Jingcheng to besiege him were stopped by the demon cultivators at this moment. Li Ye's sword did not have a particularly great impact on their morale, and at least they could still fight.
But seeing He Jingcheng hiding in the Wangstairs and fearlessly trying to take action, he knew how afraid he was of Li Ye.
The battle lasted until nightfall.
The Pinglu Army achieved great success, but the Xuanwu Army was not controlled at will. After all, they still had so many immortal cultivators to help them stabilize their position. Moreover, after hundreds of soldiers recovered, they still had combat power, but because they were afraid of Li Ye, they did not dare to come out again, but it was enough to boost people's hearts.
Because Li Ye was newly opened in the Immortal Garden, his spiritual energy was not well raised and he could not recover for a while, so he went to massacre the opponent's Taoist soldiers.
After nightfall, the Pinglu army withdrew its troops back to the city to count the results.
The Xuanwu army was killed and injured nearly 10,000 times this day, which exceeded the previous total damage. After this battle, the Xuanwu army was greatly injured.
On that day, Xuanwu Army set up camp and retreated overnight.
Li Ye did not pursue him rashly, but chose to stop when he was better. The danger of Taoist soldiers in the middle of the night was still too great.
The next day, the scout came to report that Xuanwu's army had retreated forty miles.
With the help of the Xianting, the Xuanwu army launched an attack on the Pinglu army. After Li Yecheng returned to the Immortal Realm to rescue, it suffered heavy casualties and then collapsed.
There were not many Pinglu troops in Qingzhou, and there were enough defenses in the city, so the field battles seemed insufficient. Li Ye had no intention of counterattacking the Xuanwu army and destroying Zhu Wen.
He didn't know if the Immortal Court would send more Taoist soldiers down in the future. After using his Tianjian once, it would take a long time to use it. He would not have the ability to break the Taoist soldiers' battle formation in a short period of time.
For Li Ye, he was determined to sweep the world, and killing Zhu Wen was not that important. Even if he destroyed Zhu Wen now, the immortal court would support other princes and still be able to fight against Li Ye.
What Li Ye needs now is to accumulate strength and reach the level of being able to defeat tens of thousands of Taoist soldiers in the Immortal Court, so that the problem can be solved once and for all.
Li Ye will do next to digest Hedong, establish his rule over the north, implement civil affairs reforms in Henghai, Tianping, Zhaoyi, Chengde, Yiwu, Lulong and other towns, and turn the entire north into the next Pinglu, thereby improving his strength as a whole.
Sweeping the world cannot be achieved overnight.
After Zhu Wen retreated to Bianzhou, Li Ye began to restore order in Qingzhou. However, with Cui Keli there, he did not need to worry too much. Including all the aftermath of the war, he only needed to summarize the main points.
Li Ye ran around the north for several months. Now he was rarely free, and he could finally breathe a sigh of relief and indulge in mountains and rivers to change his mood.
Of course, it is impossible to be completely idle. As the territory expands, the most needed talents are, and he still has to worry about this.
......
Pinglu in May is already quite hot, but it is not enough to prevent the people from going out. A strange phenomenon appears on the streets of Qingzhou City, that is, there are much more women showing up in public than usual.
Whether it is a casual cultivator in the world or a daughter of aristocratic families, the women put on makeup and garland, and took to the streets in groups of three or three.
They didn't see any serious things to do, they just stopped by the riverside bridge with beautiful scenery, under the willows, and shuttled back and forth among various shops. Without exception, these places are places where crowds are concentrated.
However, the woman who often goes to the riverside under the willows is different from the woman who often goes to market shops.
Most of the former are elegantly dressed and quiet. They can stand for an hour after standing next to the willows and watch the fish swimming in the river for an afternoon. No matter whether anyone talks to them, they will take the initiative to greet anyone.
The latter is much more lively and active, and the clothes are brighter. Most of them like to wear skirts with low breasts. They will chatter in groups of three or two, and sometimes cover their mouths and smile. If they meet a handsome young man in rich clothes, they will be bold and bold, and those who are bold will take the initiative to come forward to talk.
If it is a rainy day, the woman behind will disappear, but the woman in front will still appear on the street. They like to hold a colorful oil-paper umbrella, stand quietly under the willows, on the stone bridge, and look at the river in a daze.
If you are active in your mind, you will find a quiet eaves to shelter from the rain. If you have a brocade and jade belt at this time, the elegant young man will go to hand in an umbrella, then there is no need to say more about what will happen later. If the young man has a little ink and can recite a few poems that suit the situation, it is not too dull, and it can make the beauty fall in love with him.
Of course, it is not only the beauty who is in love with, but the other person may also be a fat man over 200 pounds or an ugly man with freckles on his face. And in terms of probability, the latter is more likely. After all, beauty is a rare species.
In short, May is a beautiful time when flowers bloom.
The weather is sunny this day, and there are particularly many women going out. There are many young women gathered by the Lishui River, where Qingzhou City has the most tourists.
In the afternoon, beside a small stone bridge, a woman in her 20s was pretending to appreciate the lotus in the shade, waiting for a handsome and rich young man to come and chat with her.
She occasionally looked at the passing young master, hoping that someone would come forward, but after a while, the person she liked had never approached. Instead, there was a monkey that emerged from somewhere, squatting on the bridge pier and looking at her without moving, and not going for a long time.
Because of her thin clothes and light clothes, the woman who could not cover up her fat swimming ring on her waist gradually became a little anxious. Isn’t this a bad thing for her? When she saw a monkey squatting beside her, which young man would come to talk to her?
But the scenery here is good, with lotus flowers under her feet, and the willows beside her are lush branches and leaves, and the shade is also large. It is a rare and good place that is difficult to find. Moreover, other good places are basically occupied, and it is really difficult for her to find a place to replace them for a while.
"Go and go, you smelly monkey, go play, don't be upset here!" The fat woman looked around and saw that no one looked at her, and quickly acted to drive away the monkey. In order not to attract the attention of others, she found that she was not loving and she was very small.
The clinker monkey actually looked contemptuous and said, "Little girl, do you know why I squat here?"
The freckled woman didn't expect that the other party would talk, and she was suddenly a little surprised. However, there were many demon clans in Pinglu, and everyone was no longer surprised. Anyway, they had never harmed anyone, "Why?"
The monkey sneered: "Because you are wide enough and the shadows you cast are big enough, just give me a place to enjoy the cool air."
The woman's face turned red, her chest was so angry that she kept undulating. She put her hands on her hips and said with her eyes wide open: "You stinky monkey, dare you say I'm fat?"
The monkey shook his head and said seriously: "You misunderstood."
The woman was stunned. The monk was confused, but since the other party didn't say that she was fat, she felt a little better.
As soon as her face calmed down, the monkey continued, "You are not fat, you just look like a mountain - I dare to ask if this mountain is called two hundred jin mountain?"
The woman ran away.
He covered his face and ran away crying.
The monkey showed a disgusting expression: "Mortals are really ignorant, and they have no self-knowledge at all."
Speaking of this, he looked up at the sky, his eyes full of sarcasm, as if he was talking to someone: "Damn bald donkey, so what if you have obtained the sutra? Isn't it that I have not made the world open?
As he said that, the monkey turned into a human form and turned out to be a handsome young man, holding a folding fan and walking towards the established destination.
His appearance attracted a lot of attention along the way, and some ignorant girls even shouted with their chests.
Not long after, a bold woman mustered up the courage to walk up to him, pretended to be passing by, raised her slender hands to cover her forehead: "Oh, it's so hot, it would be great if someone handed me an umbrella."
The monkey was blocked from his way, and he was even more unhappy, "If I were you, I wouldn't have wanted an umbrella."
When the woman saw the other party talking, she immediately responded enthusiastically: "What will you do?"
The monkey said coldly: "I will ask God for a lightning bolt to kill myself. If I reincarnate in the next life, I will not be able to give me an umbrella."
So another woman ran away cryingly.
The monkey was in a bad mood and simply turned into the appearance of Fairy Guanghan.
No one came up to provoke him now. Wherever he walked, there would be no woman within ten steps around him, because they would all avoid it early in shame. Now the monkey was so pure that he felt a little satisfied, and he couldn't help but admire his wisdom.
But I haven't walked for too long...
"This girl, it's such a hot day, Xiaoke invites you..."
"roll!"
The sun sets, and Li Ye squats beside the vegetable garden, watching Su Emei bend over and curl up weeds. The golden sunlight illuminates the black hair in her ears, making her flawless side look particularly charming.
This is the Anwang Mansion of Qingzhou. This vegetable garden was opened by Su Emei a few years ago and has always taken good care of it. Before leaving for Hedong a few days ago, she sprinkled rapeseed inside, but no one took care of it for several months, and the weeds grew better than vegetables.
"Actually, I have always had a question." Li Ye suddenly said.
"What is it?" Su E's eyebrows turned her head and showed a light smile at him. The soft sunset seemed to melt on the corner of her lips.
Li Ye sighed seriously: "Do you women's breasts have no sense of touch? I always see your breasts, sometimes squeezed against the table, sometimes touched the hilt of the sword, and they were all deformed, but you seemed to have not noticed them at all. Just like now, when you pull the weeds, your breasts keep passing through the grass leaves, and you haven't seen you raise your waist a little."
Su E's cheeks, whose white eyebrows were as tender as jade, were suddenly red and transparent, looking delicate and charming. She straightened her slender waist like a conditioned reflex, and did not dare to look at Li Ye again. She scolded in anger: "Dengtu!"
Li Ye laughed. He did have this question all the time, and he really didn't tease the other person on purpose.
After Su Emei finished picking up the weeds, she looked at the growing leeks and shepherd's purse, and seemed a little hesitant: "These dishes are not growing well, so I'm afraid they don't taste very well."
Li Ye smiled and said, "It's okay. After passing through the fairy's hands, even ordinary vegetables will become delicious foods. I'll eat this tonight."
Su E glared at Li Ye with shame and anger: "Is there any realm? And you are in the Immortal Realm, so you still have to eat these?"
Li Ye said: "I don't have to eat, but I still want to eat. In life, only love and food cannot be disappointed. I have taken up both the dishes in this garden. How can I bear not to eat?"
Su Emei turned her head angrily: "Good mouth and smooth tongue!"
Li Ye said in surprise: "How do you know about the fairy?"
Now Su Emei didn't dare to speak at all.
Su Emei picked the vegetables, and Li Ye took them and held them in his hand. The two left the vegetable garden and went into the kitchen together. Li Ye was responsible for cleaning the vegetables, while Su Emei made a fire and washed the pot.
After working hard for a while, the rice was steamed and the vegetables were fried, and the aroma in the house was full of fragrance.
Of course, the main dish is not leeks or shepherd's purse, and this thing cannot be used as a main dish, it is just a side dish.
Su Emei held a plate of refilled meat on the table, took off her apron and hung it aside, and sat on the stool. When Li Ye handed her the served corn rice, she said, "How did you think of cooking like this?"
"You said cooking? This is simple, I can do it from the foot of Chenyun Mountain." Li Ye sat down and said with a smile. The Tang Dynasty did not have the cooking skills of stir-frying, nor did he cook the meat again. These were all taught by him.
Su Emei gave him an angry look, "Good mouth..." Halfway through her words, she tactfully swallowed the remaining words back into her stomach, which made Li Ye unable to help laughing.
"It seems that I came at a very time. I haven't eaten such delicious food for more than a hundred years."
Before Li Ye and Su E's eyebrows could move their chopsticks, the monkey appeared on the stool out of thin air.
