Seven days after the death of Emperor Mingde, according to royal rules, Prince Xiao Chuhe succeeded to the throne as Emperor Wude.
Emperor Wu De's first decree was beyond everyone's expectations, which was to marry Wang Gang and Sikong Qianluo, and to get them married within ten days, with Emperor Wu De personally serving as the witness.
This decree caused a stir in the court, because during the period of national mourning, marriage was not allowed according to law. Not to mention that Wang Gang and Sikong Qianluo were just a couple in white clothes. Even a highly respected minister was not allowed to hold a happy event because it was disrespectful to the late emperor.
But Xiao Se knew that Wang Gang didn't have much time, so he insisted on going his own way regardless of the opposition of the ministers, and even took out the last words of the late emperor before his death.
Before the death of Emperor Wude, he left a legacy that the funeral should be simple and the people mourned for three days. Only then did the officials silence their mouths.
However, on the second day after Xiao Se ascended the throne, there was a crisis at the border. The enemy sent hundreds of thousands of troops to invade Beili.
Xiao Se originally wanted to lead the expedition himself, but the civil and military officials objected, so he could only use General Ye Xiaoying to lead a hundred thousand troops to fight against the enemy.
To be sure, Xiao Se also asked Lei Wujie and Tang Lian to go on the expedition with Ye Xiaoying.??
They are the four guardians of Apocalypse, and they also have the responsibility to protect their home and country, so they naturally have unshirkable responsibilities. However, as a result, they will not be able to attend the wedding of Wang Gang and Sikong Qianluo.
In order to marry Wang Gang, Sikong Qianluo handed over the Four Guardian Tokens and resigned from the position of Suzaku.
On the day the army set out, Wang Gang and Sikong Qianluo bid farewell to Lei Wujie and Tang Lian together. They reluctantly returned to the city until the army had gone far.
Next, the two of them were busy with the wedding. Fortunately, Xiao Se sent a palace eunuch to help. It was a bit hectic, but it was held as scheduled.
On the day of the wedding, the whole city of Tianqi City was filled with red. Those who didn't know it thought it was the emperor's wedding.
Xiao Se personally went out of the palace to witness the marriage of Wang Gang and Sikong Qianluo, and the wedding was held according to the prince's specifications. The Lu family became the focus of the whole city.
After their wedding, Wang Gang and Sikong Qianluo began to live in seclusion.
Wang Gang spent most of his time in the royal library, reading books from all over the world, and Sikong Qianluo always read with him. Sometimes he would discuss martial arts with Wang Gang, which was considered a harmony.??
?Li Hanyi and Zhao Yuzhen also left Tianqi within a few days. Before leaving, Zhao Yuzhen promised to make a copy of all the Taoist books in Wangcheng Mountain and send it to Wang Gang, as a way of repaying his life-saving grace.
The next person to leave was Wuxin. After Luo Qingyang left with Concubine Xuan, Wuxin also wanted to return to Tianwaitian to take charge.
Sikong Changfeng was the last one to leave. Before he left, he told his daughter to obey her husband when she got married and to spend more time with Wang Gang. If she could give birth to a son and a half daughters for the Lu family, it would be best to continue the family relationship.
Wang Gang didn't care much about children. Li Fanying was pregnant for ten months and gave birth to a son, which was enough to continue the Lu family's legacy.
Half a year later, Wang Gang read the royal collection of books and had a deeper understanding of the mysterious realm of the gods. He could vaguely see the gate to the immortal way, but he could not enter.
Another half month later, after Wang Gang adjusted his condition, he decided to climb to the top of the world.
On the day of climbing the building, Xiao Se came in person and asked Qi Tianchen, the national master, to open the first floor in the world.
The first floor in the world is located next to the Qintian Prison. It has a magnificent appearance. The so-called Dengtian Pavilion means you can reach the sky in one step. The Dengtian Pavilion in Xueyue City is a replica of this pavilion.
It is said that each floor of the first floor in the world is a realm. If you can climb to the fourth floor, you can cross the Mystic Realm in one step.
Xiao Se told Wang Gang that on the fourth floor was the best sword in the world, "Tian Zhan".
"It is said that the Heavenly Sword is the sword used by immortals to ascend and cut through immortal gates. It may contain the secret of ascension." Xiao Se stood in front of the first building in the world and said to Wang Gang.
"The Taizu of Beili wielded the Sky Sword, created the Sword Technique of Splitting the Country, and conquered Beili thousands of miles away. The Sky Sword is a treasure inherited by the royal family. You are not afraid that I will take the Sky Sword away!" Wang Gang said with a smile.
"If the Tianzhan Sword is helpful to you, feel free to take it away. Gu's brother is more important than a sword." Xiao Se said without hesitation.
Wang Gang turned around and held Sikong Qianluo's hand and said, "Wait for me outside the building."
"No, I want to go upstairs with you." Sikong Qianluo said firmly, "We are husband and wife and we have to face everything together."
At this time, Baihutang Ji Ruofeng's daughter, White Tiger Jixue, one of the four guardians of Tianqi, knelt down in front of Xiao Se.
"Information to Your Majesty, Bai Xiaotang has re-listed the list of masters in the world. Here is the list. Please take a look at it."
Xiao Se picked up a scroll, opened it, and said with a smile: "The list of Baixiaotang and the list of outstanding young heroes in the world. There are eight people on the list, and Qianluo is also on the list.
Wang Gang and Sikong Qianluo looked at the list. There were eight names on it: Luo Mingxuan, Sikong Qianluo, Li Fansong, Lei Wujie, Tang Ze, Tang Lian, Wushuang and Ye Anshi.
Among them, Wushuang and Ye Anshi (Wuxin) tied for the first place on the list of good jade.
In addition to the good jade list, there is also the best list.
There is a difference between the Baixiaotang Guanjue List and the Liangyu List. If the Liangyu List refers to the rising stars, then the Guanjue List refers to the established strong men who are already galloping around the world. Those who are on the Guanjue List are all
They are first-class masters. They have basically reached the realm of freedom, and some have even been named Sword Immortals, Sword Immortals, and Spear Immortals.
The top three on the list are Nanjue Ghost Sword Zhai Yuejun, Spear Immortal Sikong Changfeng, and Tang Sect Tang Lianyue. These people are all top-notch masters in the world.
As for Li Hanyi and Zhao Yuzhen, due to serious injuries and falling levels, they missed the top three and were ranked outside the top three.
The top two on the list this time are the Solitary Sword Immortal Luo Qingyang and the Wine Immortal Baili Dongjun. Both of them have broken through to the Mystic Realm of Immortal Movement and are ranked in the top two. They are well deserved.
Topping the list are Mo Yi and Lu Jun (Wang Gang).
After Wang Gang read the list, he couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "In terms of cultivation, Mo Yi is better than me. We are tied for the top spot. There is something wrong."
Ji Xue explained: "Although Mo Yi has the cultivation of an immortal, he can't live the dead with flesh and bones. Master Lu ranks first, and no one is dissatisfied."
Wang Gang glanced at Xiao Se and guessed that this was what he meant, so he simply said nothing.
"Let's go upstairs!" Wang Gang held Sikong Qianluo's hand and slowly walked towards the first floor in the world.
Imperial Master Qi Tianchen had already unlocked the door. When Wang Gang pushed the door open and entered in person, a sharp sword was thrust into his face, causing the whole building to tremble.
The hair all over Sikong Qianluo stood up. He was about to raise his gun to fight back when Wang Gang stopped him.
Wang Gang waved his sleeve and the sword disappeared. It turned out that it was just a sword intention.
The first floor was empty except for a plaque with a sword mark on it.
It is rumored that this sword mark was left by a sword immortal sixty years ago. Only by understanding the meaning of his sword can one break through the first level.
Sixty years ago, Baiyu Sword Immortal took in an apprentice, Prince Yin, who was living among the people. Later, the apprentice returned to Tianqi, but was framed and had his head beheaded in public.
At this moment, a sword came from the west, slashing down dozens of spears on the execution ground, and rescued the prince in the hands of three thousand Wangli Tianjun and sixteen top masters of Apocalypse City.
?When leaving, the Sword Immortal swung his sword at the plaque of Tianqi City to warn those people not to take any more chances with the prince.
The sword's power has lasted for sixty years and still possesses substantial attack power. This shows that the White Feather Sword Immortal is also a master of the Mysterious Immortal Realm.
Wang Gang just glanced at the plaque and understood the meaning of the sword, but only the four words "Test the Sword World".
Sikong Qianluo was not good at swordsmanship, and his cultivation was much weaker than that of Baiyu Sword Immortal, so he did not understand the meaning of the sword for a while.
Wang Gang took Sikong Qianluo's hand and walked towards the second floor generously. The sword intent of the White Feather Sword Immortal struck again, but it was easily counteracted.
"If you can't bear it, just tell me." Wang Gang said softly to Sikong Qianluo.
"I can do it, don't even think about driving me away!" Sikong Qianluo held Wang Gang's hand firmly and said firmly.
Wang Gang said nothing and continued to walk forward.
