Five hundred and fortieth chapters Wufu second grade
Dugu Chanyi turned her head rather dissatisfied and looked at Mu Jin and Li Mingyi.
One of the two is the nominal commander of the Forbidden Army, and the other is the leader of the String Girl who assists in maintaining order. Why can't even the ordinary people below organize and manage them well?
At this time, the people behind her on the stage finally noticed the movement below.
No matter what era it is, if a leader is interrupted when he is speaking, it is something that someone will be responsible for.
Mu Jin and Li Mingyi looked at each other and quickly took action, walking to the edge of the stage respectively.
"Your Majesty, Mr. Zhang..."
They first saluted the little emperor who was chatting with Zhang Huizhi at the edge of the high platform, and then gave several instructions to the people below.
Dou Kao and a man who looked like a general of the Forbidden Army took orders respectively and led the people down the mountain quickly.
Dugu Chanyi in front looked slightly relieved, ready to wait and say a few words. However, after a while, when Daukou and the Forbidden Army general arrived at the foot of the mountain... the movement there was even louder, and there was no movement at all.
Signs of being suppressed!
Viewed from the high platform, the crowd of kneeling people in that place separated to both sides like a tide being split apart by a strong ship.
It seems to be giving a two-meter-wide path to some people.
This road spreads all the way to the entrance of the hiking trail at the foot of the mountain.
This formal hiking trail is very wide, with stairs extending all the way to their high platform halfway up the mountain. Each step can accommodate thirty people shoulder to shoulder.
However, this mountain road is only filled with people on both sides of the edge, but the middle is empty and untrodden.
Although those nobles and wealthy businessmen from Dali who have some power and wealth are not among the small group of powerful people in Dali who can climb to the high platform halfway up the mountain.
However, they have the qualification to stand on both sides of this mountain climbing avenue and watch, so they don't have to squeeze in the crowd at the foot of the mountain.
However, on this mountaineering road, just like the Zen ceremony during the day, they and the common people were not allowed to take even one step.
Otherwise, it would be mutilation (amputation of limbs).
This is a very clean mountain path paved with natural white stones. Each step is engraved with simple murals and carvings, which come from a certain era when it was first built.
Its connotation is to symbolize a road to the moon.
And being given the highest dream in the hearts of people who are off the ground also means that it cannot be stepped on by ordinary people.
During the Fengchan ceremony during the day, it only allowed Zhao Rong, who was dressed in white, and a few other Fengchan students to go.
At the moment, only the most distinguished Empress Dowager Dali and the Young Emperor are allowed to set foot.
However, at this moment, an accident happened.
A right foot wearing ordinary green boots suddenly stretched out from the crowd and stepped on the middle of the first step of this white staircase.
This was a man who did not belong to the above people, and then... there was another embroidered shoe between green and pink that belonged to a girl, followed closely, and casually stepped on the middle of the stairs.
On the high platform halfway up the mountain, Dugu Chanyi, Hibiscus Li Mingyi and other dignitaries all looked at him with frowns or curiosity.
From the road at the foot of the mountain where the crowds of people were separated, two people, one large and one small, were slowly walking out.
One is a man with a green body and a sword.
One is a sword-carrying girl with a very handsome face.
The two of them slowly climbed up the stairs.
Even a fool can tell their intentions and goals.
They want to climb a mountain.
And at the end of the mountain stairs is the high platform where they, the powerful people from Dali, sit!
The two hands of Dugu Chan's clothes were loosened in front of her. One of her jade hands reached to the elbow of the other hand, and she gently pulled the sleeve with two fingers, and then put it down again.
Seems like an unconscious action.
However, Hibiscus, who was standing behind and looking at Dugu Chanyi's back, keenly noticed the empress's little move, and knew that at this moment, the most noble woman in Dali in front of her... was angry.
Mu Jin has followed Dugu Chanyi for a long time and knows that the more angry the empress is sometimes, the less likely she will show it, especially when she is angry because of a small person, and it will not be visible to others, except for this little behavior that she doesn't know how to develop...
Mu Jin immediately took a step forward and explained: "Empress, they are..."
Dugu Chanyi suddenly turned her head and glanced sideways: "The Ai family knows them. They are followers of Mr. Zhao Da who we cannot invite. The Ai family has influence."
Speak softly.
Mu Jin was stuck in her words. She quickly glanced at the plain expression of the woman in front of her, nodded and said, "Exactly."
Then he stopped talking.
Dugu Chanyi pursed her lips. She was actually a little unhappy at the moment, but she didn't show it on her face.
At the moment, except for these two followers who seemed to have been following Zhao Rong, she did not see Zhao Rong appear together.
Not long ago, Dugu Chanyi actually sent Daukou to invite Zhao Rong to attend the celebration ceremony. However, his reply was a polite refusal, which was fine. On the contrary, Dugu Chanyi breathed a sigh of relief.
Although it was Linlu Academy and Zhao Rong who helped her successfully achieve Zen status, as a ruler, she had long wished that these great benefactors would leave as soon as possible.
And Zhao Rong didn't leave with everyone immediately, which already made Dugu Chanyi a little bit embarrassed. In fact, her emotions and senses towards this man whose behavior was a little unconventional were a bit complicated...
However, now, the sudden arrival of Li Bai and Zhao Qian'er was naturally regarded by Dugu Chanyi as Zhao Rong's order.
She didn't know the twists and turns that happened during this period.
So, she felt a little unhappy about this.
Originally you said you wouldn't come, but now you're here again, and you still only send your entourage... Well, forget it, after all, you are a great benefactor and great guest, but! Not only did you come so late, but you also sent two
A follower is so arrogant...
At this moment, the whole place was silent, and everyone on the stage kept their eyes on the Empress Dowager Dali in front of them, waiting for her reaction.
After Dugu Chanyi finished talking to Hibiscus as if nothing had happened, she also maintained a motionless wait-and-see attitude.
Her eyes fell quietly on Li Bai and Zhao Qian'er, who were quietly climbing the mountain below.
He had no intention of speaking for a moment.
However, in her heart, she was already suspecting that someone did it on purpose.
Is this a threat to the Ai family?
Dugu Chanyi's thoughts.
If Zhao Rong had come in person, even if he was late and walked on the strictly hierarchical road to the moon below as if no one else was around, she would not say anything and would even lead Li Wangque forward, slightly bowing his head.
The proud head greeted him respectfully.
However, you have now sent several of your cats and dogs over, and they all walked up this special mountain road unscrupulously, keeping pace with her and the Young Emperor...
Is this too little regard for the supreme imperial power of Dali?
Isn’t it true that the Ai family and His Majesty are both your servants?
Moreover, the hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians present, as well as the dignitaries of Dali are all watching here. How can they, orphans and widowers, bend down to greet the two servants sent by you, Zhao Ziyu?
Dugu Chanyi had no expression on her face, silently watching the two people who were walking below without stopping.
The Ai family respects you largely because of the Linlu Academy behind you, for your help, and for your identity as Mr. Que'er. Otherwise, your mere status as a mountain person would make the Ai family feel jealous and respectful?
What's the joke? It's not those powerful Nascent Soul and top-grade warriors who can't see the beginning of the dragon!
Dali is not that kind of small country. Any little monk who came down from the mountain can control Chao Gang, and the Ai family even has two Jindan realm combat forces that they can dispatch...
After Fuyao, there are nine levels of martial arts, and every two levels correspond to a great realm of Taoism. Li Mingyi's fourth level of martial arts is equivalent to the realm of Jindan. Going up, the third level is equivalent to the half-step Nascent Soul realm, and the second and first levels are comparable to the Nascent Soul realm.
…
At this moment, she couldn't help but let go of the hand she held upright while trying to remain dignified. One jade hand reached to the elbow of the other hand, and she gently pulled the sleeve with two fingers.
This is a little habit that Dugu Chanyi developed when she was still in that ancient and glorious identity before she was sent to Dali, because the outfit at that time required her to hold hands with the slippery white gauze at her elbows...
…
However, this is not important. What is important is that the two people below seem to be unaware of the solidification and inappropriateness of the atmosphere on the court, and they also seem to be unaware of the impoliteness and offense of their actions.
The man and the girl were still walking in tandem, silently climbing the mountain without any intention of stopping. This made the waiting Dugu Chanyi tenderly greet a certain "Mr. Zhao" a hundred times in her heart...
Seeing that the empress seemed to be losing face more and more, and it was inconvenient for her to speak, Hibiscus took the initiative to step forward.
Li Mingyi, who was extraordinarily calm and self-reliant today, smiled calmly when he saw this and followed him leisurely.
Two golden elixir realms.
Except for Zhou Dufu, whose martial arts rank is unclear, these are the two strongest forces on the Dali card.
Mu Jin and Li Mingyi went to the edge of the high platform facing the mountain climbing avenue and stopped.
Da Si Le, who was dressed in palace attire, said with eyes downcast, "You two stopped, maybe there is a misunderstanding. The celebration is over. Can you please go and invite Mr. Zhao to attend the dinner party soon."
I was given a step to go down.
But this is also a declarative sentence, a commanding tone from a female monk in the Golden Core Realm.
However, Li Bai and Xiao Qian'er, who were climbing the mountain below, obviously had poor hearing today. They ignored any external sounds and continued to do what they wanted to do.
Daukou and the Forbidden Army general, who had tried every means to dissuade them but to no avail, had no choice but to follow them with their subordinates. However, they always stayed at the edge of the mountain path and did not dare to step forward to the center of the steps.
This also saved Li Bai and Zhao Qian'er some trouble while they were traveling.
Li Mingyi didn't speak. He seemed to be smiling but not smiling, as if he wanted to see Mu Jin's joke.
The face of the woman in palace clothes remained unchanged, but she noticed the change in Dugu Chanyi's expression behind her and the slight raising of a finger.
So she immediately left the high platform and came to the nine steps in front of Li and Bai with graceful movement. The distance was not too far or too close, just right, blocking the way behind them.
She took the initiative to speak at the same time to cover up the domineering nature of her behavior.
At the bottom of the nine steps, Li Bai did not look ahead, but raised his eyebrows and glanced at Leng Mo Xiaoqian'er, who was two steps behind but did not stop at all.
The man named Li Mingbai tightened the sword in his arms. In fact, in addition to being a swordsman, he also had a side job. Who doesn't have a side job these days? The janitor at home can sing a few lines and wants to be a swordsman.
Xiao Qianer strives to be a second grandmother.
Li Bai, who suddenly felt the pressure of employment, nodded, and then when Mu Jin opened his mouth, he kept moving and continued to raise his feet.
Take a step up.
A certain aura suddenly emerged in the man.
"You two..."
Mu Jin was stuck in her words, and she suddenly became extremely vigilant, staring closely at the inconspicuous sword in the man's arms, but... she was stunned immediately.
"Nine...grade martial artist?"
This is a ninth-level warrior with explosive momentum.
The whole place was also a little quiet, but before some smiles appeared on the corners of some people's mouths, the man holding the sword was not the man holding the sword, but the martial artist holding the sword, and he kept stepping up to the next level.
Eighth grade martial artist.
Li Bai, an eighth-grade martial artist who was only seven steps away from Hibiscus, raised his foot and took another step forward.
Seventh grade.
Li Bai began to climb the steps, one step at a time.
Sixth grade.
Fifth grade.
Until...a fourth-grade martial artist!
When Hibiscus and martial artist Li Bai were only three steps apart, she suddenly woke up and retreated ten meters away.
This golden elixir realm great monk made way!
A fourth-level martial artist is already on the same level as her! And a Taoist cultivator who is within three steps of a martial artist of the same level, with a weak body compared to that, is like a child and a strong man, with all his life in the palm of his hand, he can die.
Can't die anymore!
On the high platform, Dugu Chanyi's expression changed. He obviously understood this and scolded softly: "Why are you standing there in a daze! Go quickly!"
Li Mingyi did not dare to be careless, and immediately stepped forward to fill the vacancy left by Mu Jin's retreat, blocking Li Bai, who was already of the same rank as him.
A fourth-grade martial artist, together with a Taoist cultivator in the late Jindan realm, can barely suppress another fourth-grade martial artist.
Dugu Chanyi, who started to sweat a little, breathed a sigh of relief, and at this moment, the warrior holding the sword did not stop at all when facing two beings of the same level.
Three steps away.
Li Bai took another step.
A third-grade martial artist.
A third-grade martial artist who is half a step ahead of Yuanying.
There were only two steps left between the two warriors.
Not waiting for everyone to be horrified, the man named Li Bai smiled again, and then he...
