In the inn, Li Mingyue poured a glass of wine and couldn't help but sigh. In the past, others took care of him, but he didn't expect that now it was his turn to take care of others, even if Jiang Hu was there.
Just as he was sighing, three disciples of the Immortal Sect came up. One of them was dressed in gold and jade, carrying an immortal sword on his back, hanging white jade from his waist, and wearing a purple gold crown; the other was wearing a snow-white robe, carved with dragons and phoenixes, and had his hair tied
The crown is holding a folding fan, gently shaking it to catch the breeze; one is wearing a black gown, hanging a long knife from the waist, the handle of the knife is inlaid with gold and jade, and is full of jewels. The knife alone is worth a lot of money.
The three of them are all handsome young men. No matter where they are placed, they are dazzling and radiant.
The young man holding the folding fan was the first to speak: "This brother is not a local, right? I wonder which immortal family he comes from?"
Because the language spoken was in Jinyang's language, Li Mingyue couldn't understand it very well, so she ignored it and drank to herself.
As a result, the three of them suddenly felt neglected and slighted, and just as they were about to explode, Takuba Yuyi said, "Don't you recognize him?"
The young man with the sword frowned and said solemnly: "Should we recognize him?"
Tuoba Yuyi seemed a little disappointed and whispered: "I thought everyone recognized him."
She then said in a language Li Mingyue could understand: "They don't even recognize you."
Li Mingyue said: "They don't even recognize you, so how can they recognize me?"
Takuba Yuyi was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said: "That's right, it seems that it is more and more necessary to make a name for yourself in the world."
The three of them were naturally able to understand the words of the two people. At this moment, they all frowned. The man in gold and jade clothes said at this time: "I am Murong Hua, the ninth son of the Murong family. This is Qiao Huairen, the eldest son of the Qiao family in Yanyun.
, this is Ma Ming, the young master of the Golden Sword King, please give me some advice."
Li Mingyue said: "Li Mingyue."
After that, he continued drinking.
The three of them were stunned for a moment. After looking at each other, they all shook their heads. Apparently, they didn't recognize who Li Mingyue was.
Tuoba Yuyi frowned and said, "No way, you don't recognize me like this?"
Li Mingyue continued: "Her name is Tuoba Yuyi."
The three of them were stunned again, then looked at Takuba Yuyi in disbelief, and said in surprise: "Your Highness Princess?!"
Li Mingyue said: "It seems that more people recognize you."
The three of them looked at Tuoba Yuyi, and then fell into thinking. They didn't seem to believe that the person in front of them was Her Royal Highness. If she was really Her Royal Highness, how could there not be expert guards around her?
It's okay if there are no expert guards, but there is also a sickly guy. No one will believe it if they see it.
Wang Su said at this time: "I didn't expect that Murong Ye, a great hero of the generation, would actually teach such a short-sighted guy."
The other two people immediately looked at the guy wearing gold jade clothes, and the man frowned and asked, "What do you call the girl?"
Wang Su said indifferently: "The Wang family in Shengzhou, Wang Su."
The three of them immediately looked at each other, then looked at Wang Su in astonishment, and then hurriedly saluted: "It turns out to be Fairy Wang. This junior and others have no intention of offending. Please forgive me, Fairy Wang."
Wang Xiu just uttered one word: "Get out."
The three of them really didn't hesitate at all and fled on the spot. After leaving the town, they headed west towards Nanjing City.
Before the three of them entered the city, they saw countless soldiers pouring out of the city. Then the entire city of Nanjing was sealed off. No one was allowed to enter or exit. The three people who were blocked outside the city looked puzzled and could only ask the people around them.
Soon they understood everything that happened last night. When they heard that the princess had been kidnapped, the three of them felt it was horrifying. When they knew that the person who kidnapped the princess had single-handedly used his own strength to
Killing countless immortals in Jiuyi Mountain, one person with one sword, broke through the city and killed the emperor. The three of them were sweating profusely, and their souls were shattered. At the same time, they couldn't help but feel happy to survive the disaster.
Then notices offering rewards were posted and could be seen everywhere in the streets and alleys. The three young men from prominent families were so frightened that they fled home overnight and swore they would never wander outside again in their lives because it was too dangerous outside.
However, the Jinyang royal family made great moves, but the gains were negligible. Not to mention that the princess was not rescued, and the whereabouts of the princess could not even be traced.
With the new emperor ascending the throne, this matter was put to rest. After that, heroes from all walks of life rose up. The Lord of Shangzhu Kingdom personally led an army of 400,000 people north to quell the rebellion. As the Lord of Shangzhu Kingdom left the border,
The Tang army marched straight out of Yueguan City and headed north with overwhelming momentum. For a while, the government and the opposition were in turmoil.
In Yueguan City, Wu Ziqi was standing on the city wall, looking at the north, feeling excited. This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Even if he could not destroy the Jinyang Empire in one fell swoop, he could still teach these northern barbarians a profound lesson.
In fact, he had already sent the news back to Haojing after he knew that the Shangzhu Lord was heading north. However, he had to wait for a reply from Haojing and was afraid of delaying the battle, so he followed the principle of "The general is out there, and your order is different."
With the purpose of "accepting", he issued the order to march north, leaving behind the advice of the Imperial Preceptor before leaving that "it is better to be quiet and not to move".
At the beginning, good news came frequently from the north, but as the army penetrated deep into the hinterland of Jinyang, the war situation began to become anxious. This scholar in the south also left Yueguan City and went to the front line to command the battle in person, leading an army of 500,000 people to advance triumphantly.
, directly hit Lejing City, the capital of Jinyang.
Seeing the destruction of Jinyang in one fell swoop, the immortal achievements of these people will also be recorded in the history of the Tang Dynasty and praised by future generations. But facing this palace, the emperor's uncle could easily break it with one sword.
However, it was difficult to make further progress in the capital city. Later, the Lord of Shangzhu Kingdom was waiting for work. Almost all the army of 500,000 were wiped out, leaving less than 100,000 soldiers, who desperately protected this scholar as he fled south.
The pursuit and interception along the way resulted in heavy losses once again. When they entered Yueguan City, only a hundred people could still breathe.
If it hadn't been for the Mohist scholar who happened to arrive at Yueguan City and face the counterattack of Jin Yang's army, no matter how clever and clever this scholar who was destined to be the leader of Confucianism was, he would not be able to hold on to the Tang Dynasty, the gateway to the northeast.
I heard that during that period, the scholar could be heard crying every night in Yueguan City. Every time he cried, he would write furiously all night long. It was rumored that the apology letter he sent to Haojing alone was as many as a hundred.
He was granted the title of "Wu Bai Shu" by the people of the Tang Dynasty.

Ho Kyung.
In the main hall of the palace, the Imperial Master knelt in the middle of the hall and begged: "The faults of the disciples are the responsibility of the teacher. I beg you, your majesty, to punish you."
Li Qi had no expression on his face and asked: "What do you adults think?"
All civil and military officials knelt down, not daring to speak.
Li Qi said coldly: "Aren't we usually quite eloquent? Why are we all mute now? Since all the adults have no objections, I will make my own decision."
She looked at the Imperial Master who was kneeling on the ground and said, "Master Imperial Master, you'd better get up. The ground is cold. Don't catch another cold or something else, and others will say that I have a vicious heart. Don't worry.
Well, I won't blame your precious apprentice. After all, I personally handed over the Li Zhu. This is why the Tang Dynasty deserves this disaster. Let this matter be put aside and no one needs to mention it again. Please also ask, Master National Preceptor.
Please tell our Mr. Xiao Wu to stop delivering letters to Haojing and let me have a few days of leisure, okay?"
The Imperial Master kowtowed repeatedly.
Li Qi asked: "Do you have anything else to do, sir?"
A military attache said at this time: "Now that the whole country in Jinyang is in turmoil, it is a great opportunity for our army to march north. I would also like to ask your Majesty to issue an order to avenge the 500,000 soldiers of the Tang Dynasty's frontier army."
Li Qi frowned and said: "We, the Tang State, still have troops available? Even if we do, General Zuo can guarantee victory? A remote place like the Five Southwest Kingdoms still makes the generals busy, let alone a big northern country like Jinyang, General Zuo
Even if I believe this, General Zuo himself believes it?"
Someone else said: "The small countries in the southwest are ignorant of the vastness of the sky, especially the Yan country, which is particularly hateful. In my opinion, the big country of Jinyang needs to be developed slowly. Now our country's national destiny is booming, but Jinyang is just the opposite. As time goes by,
Without us taking action, its power will decline on its own, so why not take this opportunity to destroy the five kingdoms first, pacify the southwest, and then move north without any worries."
Li Qi asked: "What do you think, Master National Preceptor?"
The national advisor who had just gotten up and stood aside heard this and quickly stood up and said: "The small southwestern country is a small country and there is nothing to fear. However, after all, the national destiny of the five countries is not declining. If we forcefully send troops, I am afraid it will be counterproductive. Although it can
Destroying it will also damage the country's foundation, so I hope Your Majesty will think twice."
Li Qi asked: "Then what does the Imperial Master think should be done?"
The Imperial Master said: "The kid next door, threats and suppression are enough."
Li Qi nodded and said, "But I don't like the new emperor of Yan State."
The Imperial Master said: "It's simple, all you have to do is replace it with an obedient one."
Li Qi nodded and said: "Then it's all thanks to the Imperial Master. It's best to send the new emperor to Haojing when the time comes."
All the civil and military officials were silent and did not dare to speak. They all said that women hold grudges the most. Unexpectedly, even after becoming the emperor, it would be no exception. Now that we are in the Yan Kingdom, the next step is probably the Taoist sects such as Zhenwu Mountain and Qiyun Mountain.
Based on His Majesty's previous bloody methods, we don't know how many more people will die.

Wang Su thought that Li Mingyue was already brainless enough, but he didn't expect to meet Tuoba Yuyi, who was even less brainy than Li Mingyue. It is understandable that Li Mingyue did things regardless of the consequences. After all, this guy was amazingly powerful and had a strong foundation, but that princess
, It may have been nothing in the palace at first, but now when he enters the rivers and lakes, even a strong man in the Guiyuan realm may be drowned by the rivers and lakes.
As he went further north, Wang Su felt more and more that if it were not for him, the princess would have died long ago. The key is that the princess does not seem to appreciate it. She always looks down on everyone, looking down on everyone.
This made her very unbearable.
It felt like something that originally belonged to her was snatched away by this woman named Tuoba Yuyi.
In fact, it was indeed thanks to this Wang family fairy that Li Mingyue and his party saved a lot of trouble along the way. This Queen Queen was extremely familiar with all kinds of things in the Jinyang Jianghu, and Wang Su's reputation in the Jianghu was also very good.
His reputation is not low. As long as he gives his name, people in the world will give him some face, which makes Li Mingyue sigh. This Fairy Wang is much better than his Immortal disciple, because most of the time, others don't recognize him at all.
This immortal disciple does not know Tuoba Yuyi, Princess Jinyang.
As they continued to go north and got closer and closer to Jiuyi Mountain, Li Mingyue became more and more anxious. Is it possible that he really wanted to go to Jiuyi Mountain so arrogantly to ask for someone? With just these few of them, let alone asking for someone, I'm afraid they wouldn't even be able to ask for someone.
Even the boundary of Jiuyi Mountain cannot be entered. This is not the most important thing. If there is a conflict with Jiuyi Mountain, Jiuyi Mountain will know his true identity and will not let him leave Jiuyi Mountain alive.
Perhaps it was for this reason that Li Mingyue was traveling slower during this period, but neither Wang Su nor Tuoba Yuyi seemed to be able to feel it.
As you go further north, the land becomes more sparsely populated, making it feel a bit desolate.
At this moment, Li Mingyue stopped the carriage, took out a map and looked at it for a while, frowning slightly, because there were no human beings within a hundred miles, which meant that they would probably have to sleep in the wilderness tonight.
After Li Mingyue put away the map, he drove the carriage forward for a certain distance. He happened to see a creek, so he stopped the carriage in the open space beside the stream, and then said, "I'm afraid I'll have to spend the night here tonight."
Tuoba Yuyi got out of the carriage at once, jumped off the carriage, knelt down by the stream and poured water to wash his face. After Wang Su got out of the carriage, he glanced left and right.
Between the whole sky and the earth, the terrain is open. At a glance, there are endless plains, unlike the undulating mountains in the south. A red sun hangs in the sky in the west, rendering the entire earth orange-red.
Wang Su frowned slightly and said: "It is said that there are many ferocious beasts in the north, and they are ferocious and brutal. They hide day and night. I traveled with my father in my early years and encountered them once."
Li Mingyue nodded and didn't care.
Wang Su seemed to still want to talk, but at this time Tuoba Yuyi stood up from the stream and waved to this side with a smile on his face.
Under the setting sun, on her beautiful face, the crystal clear water drops reflected brilliant light, making her look like she was standing in the glow, dreamlike, like a fairy.
Wang Su snorted coldly, jumped off the carriage and walked to the side without saying anything more to Li Mingyue.
Li Mingyue was also about to get off the car and go to the stream to take a sip of the clear water, but suddenly she saw a group of people and horses running towards this side quickly between heaven and earth, and she couldn't help but frown slightly.
The black panther pulling the cart let out a low roar, but after Li Mingyue raised his hand to suppress it, he crawled to the ground. The little devil continued to cling to the bottom of the cart, swaying from side to side.
Because these people happened to be coming from the west, the light effect and the long distance made Li Mingyue unable to identify the identities of these people, so she couldn't help but glance at Tuoba Yuyi by the stream.
Could it be that the Jinyang court knew the identity of the princess and came to rescue her?
