Everyone present shuddered. Once these two smoke beads are released, they will definitely cause an uproar. They will definitely attract countless powerful people. However, while sitting on the profit, will the Li family be able to control the chaotic situation?
That's two things to say.
After a long silence, someone started talking again, "Originally, the refining materials for this batch of Tianfengyun Yanzhu will have to wait for two years to be collected. It was His Majesty's need, so he allocated a few treasures from the imperial treasury to make up for it." He paused.
After a pause, he asked tentatively: "Brother, I heard that it was Lin Xitang who advised His Majesty?"
Li Tianshi glanced at him and said: "Yes, Tianfeng Yunyanzhu involves the change of floating land. Just know this in your heart and don't go out to talk about it. Lin Xitang will not use such a dead thing to deal with my Li family, and neither will you."
have a bee in one's bonnet."
The man was still hesitant and said: "The Battle of National Destiny didn't start well. Lin Xitang was seriously injured in the Battle of Sleep of the Behemoth. Will his deduction this time be inaccurate?"
As soon as this was said, the others here did not speak, and they all had different thoughts on their faces.
Li Tianshi was calm and calm, and said calmly: "Lin Xitang, you can dislike him, but you can never underestimate him. Besides, the situation of the national war has always been connected with the fate of the heavens, the luck of the camp, and those who stand at the top.
The influence of the powerful, no matter Yong Ye or Da Qin, who dares to say an accurate word?"
The man opened his mouth, but found that he couldn't find anything to say, so he couldn't help but raise his tea cup and take a sip.
After a pause, Li Tianshi said again: "To take a step back, even if the floating land has not changed, what loss will it have to my Li family? Tianfeng Yun Yanzhu can increase the following cultivation potential of the gods by one level. Just this alone
If it is of some use, it will be enough to kill those people outside."
Some people felt unwilling and sighed: "But we have spent so much hard work, can we really give it away like this?"
"If you can exchange two Yun Yan Pearls for a misty forest, it's not a loss. This is the key to our clan's advancement." At this point, Li Cunjian, who led the army, saw it very clearly, and then he sneered.
: "Those foreign guys, even if they really get this kind of treasure, they still have to live to use it."
Everyone was stunned.
Li Tianshi said: "Then it's settled. Oh, by the way, go and call Xiaojiu back, let him change his identity and name, and also go to Fulu to compete for military merit."
"Call Qingyun back?"
Li Tianshi nodded and said: "Yes. He is slightly less talented and has little hope of becoming a general. With the help of Yun Yanzhu, he can reach the last step. I can't obviously favor him, but giving him a chance will not cause criticism.
If Xiaojiu has this opportunity, and if she has better luck in the future, she might be able to cross that big threshold."
Everyone looked at each other and nodded slowly.
High-ranking families all have the ability to check and balance the divine generals, but if they want to be promoted to a powerful family, they must have real divine generals in charge. The Li family has made preparations in this regard. However, the powerful families are not static, and there is a danger of falling down at any time if their strength is slightly weaker.
, the current embarrassing situation of the Song Dynasty is a lesson learned from the past, so there are not too many opportunities to promote the family's children.
With Li Tianshi's arrangement like this, he achieves multiple things with one stone, which is great. But it's not easy to steal food from the wolves. Even if he succeeds, the road to becoming a god general is even longer.
Li Qingyun, who has been smart since he was a child, loves martial arts as much as his life. He can master any martial arts as soon as he learns it. He has a fierce temperament and a murderous intention. He has no enemies but no self in his attacks. With the same level of cultivation, his combat power is even better than that of Li Kuanglan.
There is still a need to improve. However, the only drawback is that he is slightly less talented. Even with Li's achievements in secret medicine, he has not been able to find an effective way to cleanse the marrow and replace the bones, which has always been cited as a pity.
Li Tianshi glanced at everyone and saw that there was no objection, so he said: "Then the matter is settled, let's get the news out first."
Everyone in the Li clan looked stern and responded. They knew that it wouldn't be long before there would be a storm.
After everyone left, Li Tianshi sat still. It was not until an entourage in his forties entered the garden that he stood up and led the visitor into the study room in the garden.
In the quaintly furnished room, there was a man playing a chess game enjoying himself. The man was dressed simply and looked like a man in his twenties. However, if you look closely, you will find that he is definitely not as young as he looks.
Li Tianshi said: "Uncle." Then he turned to look at his entourage, "Have you collected all the information? Just tell me."
The attendant opened the folder in his hand and said, "We have some clues about the things Mr. Rui named for investigation." The matter was not complicated, and the attendant was an expert in this field, so he quickly finished the report concisely and clearly.
"So, Lin Xitang did leave the imperial capital during the Battle of Sleep of the Beast." Li Ruizhi kept his eyes on the chessboard, slowly put down another piece, and then said: "He went to Qingyang Prince's Mansion yesterday? He was really brave.
What does the Marquis think?"
Li Tianshi sat upright, looking down at his hands on his knees, and said calmly: "During the National Destiny War, it is not appropriate to cause trouble again. The following turmoil on the Void Floating Continent will only be more or less."
Li Rui smiled and threw the two white stones between his fingers into the chess box, "The amount of turmoil is not a problem. If there is no turmoil, how can there be such a great trend? Forget it, we old guys have their own battles for orthodoxy. You young people can just focus on expanding outwards.
!Are you ready for the redrawing of the Imperial Military District this time?"
Li Tianshi said: "Uncle Fang Qingtang will be transferred to the War Department, and the other few people will move around. They have to lead the troops with a high degree of confidence in their actual duties. His Majesty's Guards will also recruit two more lieutenant generals from our clan. It's a pity that this matter still comes.
It's too urgent, we can't recommend a candidate for marshal."
The redrawing of military districts is not just a matter of a few marshals transferring defenses. There will be countless changes from the military headquarters to the local areas. General Li Fangqing is the highest-ranking member of the Li family in Jingtang in the military circles. He is currently the military admiral and commands the military police.
This position is noble and powerful, but those who manage internal affairs are not as good as the generals who guard the region in the War Department.
Li Ruizhi said: "The foundation of our army is shallow. Even if the strength of the divine generals is exposed two years earlier, I am afraid that the military power will not be stable. It will be good to have a few more practical positions this time, but the candidates sent to the Guards must be careful."
Take your pick." He thought for a while and said, "Eldest brother cares about you brothers and sisters very much, especially A Lan."
Li Tianshi's calm expression suddenly changed, and his brows furrowed involuntarily.
Li Ruizhi looked up and saw his expression, and couldn't help but wonder: "You don't even know how A Lan and those two little guys are related?"
Li Tianshi smiled bitterly, "My little sister met Zhao Jundu when she was exploring the cave in the center of the Sleeping Beast. But Song Zining has always been moving with the army. In the later period, he was almost always in the Qingyang King's headquarters. If she had been to Zhang Clan Camp...
It’s not like we don’t know!”
Li Ruizhi also showed a hint of helplessness, "Alan is really spoiled!" He said this, but there was no hint of blame.
Li Tianshi's wry smile deepened. The younger sister was his father's daughter and was loved by the elders. He, Empress Li and other brothers and sisters, because of the big age difference, almost always treated her like a daughter. However, she had been smart since she was a child.
, is extremely talented, so he has developed such a temperament as he is today. I really can’t blame others.
But this matter is too delicate. If nothing happens, it doesn't matter. If something happens, it won't end well.
"A-Lan is being too silly this time, you must take care of her." Li Ruizhi said: "Song Zining can just pay it back. Zhao Jundu doesn't matter. He is the son of the eldest princess, so he is a generation behind. Besides, Tianyan Taoism was the leader of Tianyan Taoism back then.
fight, declare
Duke Yuan Zhao Xuanyun supported a clan in Dongtantai to compete with my Li clan, causing both sides to suffer losses. It allowed Lin Xitang, a little-known sidekick, to rise. Orthodoxy is the foundation of our Li clan, and there is no way we can get along with the Zhao clan."
Li Tianshi's expression was slightly condensed. He did not expect that Li Ruizhi would take this little kid's play seriously. After thinking about it, he asked: "Some time ago, the Supreme Elders were planning an alliance with King Qingyang. It is said that
Something is not going well, I wonder what the next step will be?"
Li Ruizhi also frowned when he mentioned this matter, "His Royal Highness Zhang did not comment, but he did not reject it directly. When I go to the imperial capital this time, I will look for an opportunity to discuss this matter with the Queen."
Li Tianshi lowered his gaze, his face darkened.
Li Ruizhi stood up and said: "I'm leaving tonight. I'm leaving now." He didn't go through the door, but went to the inner room. He moved a hanging flower stand and quietly appeared on the south wall full of books.
A secret passage.
Before walking into the secret passage, Li Ruizhi suddenly turned around and said, "Master Hou is a man of great talent and strategy, and he should be the leader of the resurgence of my Li family. But sometimes, please don't be emotional."
Li Tianshi sat on the same spot for a long time, and the entourage beside him also stood as straight as a pillar, motionless.
"Zhijie, A-lan is still in retreat?"
"Yes, it is said that the young lady has gained another enlightenment on the path to the Great Perfection of combat skills. This time she must master the Hidden Frost Sword Style before she can leave." Nowadays, most of the servants of the Li family only know that the master has a younger brother.
This attendant was born as a servant and was also the son of Li Tianshi's nanny. He had been with him since he was a child and could not change his name in private.
Li Tianshi asked again: "How is Shuai Lin doing?"
The entourage said: "Some time ago, there were rumors that he deduced that Behemoth Sleeping was seriously injured. That was false news released by Beifu, but there was something really wrong with his body, and the situation is unknown." This news was just revealed to him in front of Li Ruizhi.
It was not mentioned, and for a person of Lin Xitang's status, the injuries and illnesses were mostly false and difficult to confirm, and Li Ruizhi did not specifically ask.
Li Tianshi nodded and let him go down. After the entourage left, Li Tianshi sat for a while, then stood up and walked to the window, his eyes seeming to penetrate through many obstacles and fall on the mountains and sea.
The Li family of Jingtang Dynasty is one of the oldest inheritances of Tianyan Shu. It has a long history no less than that of the four clans. Even though it was hit hard by the dispute over the orthodoxy, it is still a behemoth in the world of magic. It is the leader of many clans and even the top.
A guest honored by the powerful.
However, there are strengths and weaknesses. The apparent strength of the Li family has always been hovering in the middle of the family. To this day, it only occupies two counties in the southern coastal province and several counties in other continents.
, the total area is less than one province, and there is still a gap between the on-site conditions of upgrading gate valves.
Although the two camps are constantly fighting, the mainland of the empire has been at peace for a long time. For a fiefdom like the Li family in Jingtang, it is extremely difficult to expand the territory. If it is done step by step, I am afraid that Li Tianshi will not be able to get there in his lifetime.
Gate valve.
Li Tianshi suddenly smiled, with a faint fire in his eyes, and said to himself: "With power and without power, I will eventually make wedding clothes for others. How can I, Li Tianshi, always be controlled by others? The battle of national destiny, hey!"
The spread of news in the empire can be said to be fast or slow. Often, it takes ten months to reach the imperial capital for matters concerning the frontier, but really important events can be spread throughout the rich and powerful families in one day. Before the day has passed, Tian
The news that Fengyun Yanzhu was about to appear on the Li clan's military merit list reached the desks of the heads of all the powerful families.
There was an undercurrent for a while.
Qianye, who is far away in the Void Floating Continent, still doesn’t know what the so-called Tianfeng Yunyan Bead is, and even if he knows it, he won’t take it seriously. This Yunyan Bead can enhance the talent potential of the next level of the god general, and it can be called a divine thing.
But it was of no use to Qianye.
His practice of Song's ancient scrolls is very different from the mainstream secret law principles. There is no ordinary bottleneck at all. Qianye's force on both the Dawn and Eternal Night sides has been refined to an extremely pure level by Xuan Yao's two articles. The only thing he has to do now is
Balance, and then when both sides reach their perfection, explore the realm of return to chaos mentioned in the general outline.
Moreover, what Qianye wants to gain from this war is not resources, but military merit, pure military merit.
At this moment, Qianye's attention was focused on the Black Book that was slowly opened.
Under the heavy cover is the familiar catalog page, which still only has one line of words: Tempering.
As Qianye's consciousness flashed, he turned over the catalog page and reached the next page. A mass of rolling darkness slowly transformed into silhouettes of figures slashing with swords.
This sword Qianye has long been familiar with, it is one of the killing moves in his hand, the Nirvana Slash. However, the Nirvana Slash at this moment is different from that of that day. It is obviously much clearer, and the cold sword energy is coming towards his face.
In other words, this move is more perfect and more powerful.
Qianye seemed to have some realization and tried to turn back. Sure enough, there was a new page after the Nirvana Slash. On this page, there was also a figure holding a sword, holding the sword in both hands, and in an instant, eight people were facing forward, backward, left and right.
There is a sword in each direction.
Compared with the Nirvana Slash, this style is much simpler, but the artistic conception in the sword is very unusual, simple and thick, and each sword has the power to open up the sky and divide the sea. The pressure that comes to the face makes Qianye feel overwhelmed.
