This kind of thing has never happened before for a human emperor to go 30,000 miles deep into Mobei. It is also very rare for a demon emperor to go south to the human territory. Especially now that the Daliang Dynasty was established, the demon emperor has never gone south to the Daliang territory.
The high priest was keenly aware of the Demon Emperor's displeasure, but after thinking about it, he still insisted on persuading: "The human race is so cunning. If His Majesty goes south and those monks join forces, His Majesty's safety will be really worrying."
Although there may not be anyone in the human race who can really kill the demon emperor, if multiple parties join forces, it will be extremely difficult for the demon emperor to return to the north once he is trapped. Although the human race may not really have such courage, it is also very frustrating.
People worry.
The Demon Emperor said indifferently: "Do you think I will die in the south?"
The high priest was speechless.
The Demon Emperor said calmly: "I have made my decision, no need to say more."
The high priest could only remain silent again. He had been following the demon emperor for a long time, so he naturally knew what kind of temper his majesty had. Now that he had made a decision, nothing he could say could change it.
"After I leave, please take more trouble."
After the Demon Emperor said these words, he began to slowly go south along the Onan River. Behind him, the high priest bowed slightly and said softly: "I accept the decree."
After saying these words, the high priest went north and returned to the demon king's city.
The Demon Emperor slowly moved downstream along the Onan River. It didn't take long before he had crossed the Onan River and arrived at the Mobei Plain.
The wind and snow here are lighter.
It didn't take long for the Demon Emperor to meet a group of demon scouts, all of whom were injured. When the leading scout saw the strange figure, he was startled for a moment, and then his eyes became fanatical. He turned over and got off his mount.
He jumped down and knelt down on one knee in front of the figure, "See your majesty!"
As the scout leader knelt down, a group of scouts behind him also knelt down and shouted in unison.
The Demon Emperor stopped, looked at the group of scouts, and asked casually: "What was the result of the battle?"
The scout leader raised his head and said: "Reporting to your Majesty, we met two groups of human scouts one after another and killed them all. Now we have twenty-three people with meritorious service."
The Demon Emperor asked again: "What is the current combat strength of the human scouts?"
The leader of the scouts was startled, but he quickly said: "The scouts on the human side are divided into three levels: A, B, and C. We met all C-level scouts with average combat power, but B-level scouts are no longer good for the team. A-level scouts
His level is not low, and when we meet him, we are not sure of victory."
Although there have been wars between humans and monsters from time to time over the years, the Demon Emperor has always been in the royal city and has almost never been to the front lines. He has never seen the fighting on the battlefield with his own eyes.
However, as the Daliang Dynasty became more and more powerful, the Demon Emperor also understood that it would be very dangerous if he was still in the royal city and did not have a clear understanding of the Daliang Dynasty.
This is also the reason why the Demon Emperor chose to go south.
After the Demon Emperor nodded, he passed these scouts and continued south.
The scout leader opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end he just lowered his head and said "Best farewell to Your Majesty."
The Demon Emperor arrived on a plain in the blink of an eye.
In fact, there is snow everywhere in the Mobei Plain now, and it is almost impossible to see any difference. However, after the Demon Emperor stood somewhere, he was silent for a long time. This should be the former Emperor of Liang with his 200,000 cavalry.
This is the place where we broke through the encirclement and suppression by the monster army.
The breath is still there.
The Demon Emperor felt a little dazed when he thought of that peerless martial artist. Both sides clearly had spared their strength in that battle, but that battle still left him with endless aftertaste.
In all his years in the Demon Realm, there has never been a battle that made him miss him so much.
Looking to the south, the figure of the Demon Emperor finally dissipated along with the wind and snow.

After the Jingzhe, the weather started to warm up. In the small yard in Peach Blossom Lane, the man lazily walked out of the house stretched his body, then scooped a ladle of water from his own water tank and poured it into it. After sprinkling a pinch of salt, he took a thin willow branch, put it in his mouth and rinsed his mouth, then turned to look into the room and asked casually: "What are you going to eat today?"
Hearing the sound, a woman appeared on the doorframe and asked, "What do you want to eat?"
This woman, who has long been much thinner than before, seems to have a much better temper as the fat on her body disappears.
The man picked his ears and said, "You bitch are so funny, aren't you supposed to think about this kind of thing? Come and ask me why?!"
The woman frowned slightly and said tentatively: "How about cutting up last year's bacon into a piece and frying it with green peppers and garlic sprouts?"
The man raised his eyebrows and said, "That tastes good."
The woman breathed a sigh of relief.
The man quickly scolded me again: "Can you stop being like this? Where is the energy you had before? Don't pity me because I am a flower. Come on, ravage me!"
The woman looked confused, but soon began to shed tears.
Her previous actions were just to see when her man wouldn't be able to bear it anymore. Then the dean came once, and she was sure that her man was not an ordinary person. Since this was already the case, what else was necessary? reason?
The man looked at the woman like this and sighed, "Why are you crying? I'm not dead yet."
Hearing this, the woman cried even louder.
The man frowned and said, "Don't cry so loudly, okay? Let others listen."
As expected, with these words, the woman's crying voice became much quieter, and soon became inaudible.
"Cooking at home and I'll go out for a walk."
After finally saying this, the man walked out of the house and subconsciously glanced at the other side. The boy had been gone for a year or two. These days, he heard news from the Shendu from time to time, saying that the boy was now in the capital. The Liang Dynasty was also a man of great influence.
"You have the right to carry a knife, but you are just unlucky."
The man sighed and walked out of the alley.
After arriving at the long street, the man did not stop, but went straight towards the stone bridge in the county town. Not long after, he came to the stone bridge and stood still. But before he could express anything, he saw in front of him A figure suddenly appeared, looking at the man with a smile on his face.
The man was startled, and then he yelled: "You bastard, how dare you come to see me!"
As he spoke, he immediately took off one of his shoes, held it in his hand, and was about to throw it towards the visitor.
The visitor didn't dodge, he just smiled and said: "Why, why are you so sloppy now? Are you still a scholar?"
The man said angrily: "I am not a scholar, how can you be?"
He raised the shoes in his hand, but didn't really throw them out. Finally, he leaned on the bridge nearby and put them on again. He just smelled his hand, but soon turned away in disgust.
"I definitely don't count it, but whether you are a scholar now is very vague and difficult to define."
The visitor walked a few steps forward and stood on the stone bridge with the man. He said with some emotion: "I haven't seen you for many years, and you are not dead yet."
The man sneered and said, "It's me who should say this. God is blind that your kid is alive."
The visitor smiled slightly, patted the sword on his waist, and laughed loudly: "I want to die, but the sword on my waist doesn't agree. Those monsters in the north want my head, but they don't have the ability."
The person who came was none other than Liu Banbi, who had been in the Northern Territory for many years. This scholar who had now become a swordsman looked at the man and said, "I heard from the teacher that you, Zhou Gouqi, now have a wife, Nuan."
Bed?"
Zhou Gouqi snorted coldly, "Better than an old bachelor like you."
Liu Banbi asked curiously: "Then I really want to see what my sister-in-law is like, so that you can leave Her Royal Highness alone and stay anonymous here."
Hearing the words "Her Royal Highness the Princess," Zhou Gouqi's eyes flashed with sadness, and then he became a little irritated for no reason, "What are you talking about?"
Then before Liu Banbi could say anything, Zhou Gouqi scolded: "You are not a good swordsman, and you are not a good swordsman. Why are you here looking for me in this remote place? You really want to kill me, don't you?"
Liu Banbi frowned and said, "I took a lot of detours in order to see you. You'd better entertain me well, otherwise I will make it known everywhere when I leave here, saying that you, a felon, are hiding in this place."
"Guanggun, I have nothing to entertain you." Zhou Gouqi waved his hands angrily, showing no good looks towards this former fellow disciple.
The dean followed the example of the sages and recruited seventy-two disciples. The time when each student started was not fixed. Sometimes there would be three or five students within a month, and sometimes there would be no one for several years, but these two students started one after another.
There were only a few days left. Zhou Gouqi entered first, so he was the senior brother, and Liu Banbi entered later, so he was the junior brother.
When the two of them were studying at Shendu Academy, they were always noisy. They didn't really hate each other, but they didn't know why. They seemed to have different horoscopes. They couldn't help but squeeze each other when they met. After that, Liu Banbi didn't want to talk to each other anymore.
As a scholar, he did not want to read the books of sages anymore and left the academy to practice swordsmanship. The two had a big quarrel, but Zhou Wolfberry could not convince the other party, so the relationship between the two became even more tense. After that, Zhou Wolfberry because
When that old incident left the city of God, the two scholars who were both expected to become the next dean disappeared.
In the following years, Liu Banbi has been killing monsters on the Great Wall in the North, and Zhou Gouqi has been living in seclusion in Tianqing County, and the two have never been seen again.
Many years passed in a flash.
Liu Banbi smiled and said: "I have met the teacher, and the teacher is relieved. Is there anything else you can't think about?"
Zhou Gouqi's face still didn't look good, but in fact he also understood that Liu Banbi could know where he was, which naturally meant that the dean told him. Since the dean could tell him, then the relationship between the two people
The knot in my heart has been untied.
But Zhou Wolfberry still felt a little sorry. Although he often quarreled with his junior brother, he actually understood that if he could be a good scholar, his future would be limitless. As a senior brother, he even thought about it at the time.
In the fight for the position of eldest brother, he could completely let his junior brother out, so it was precisely because of this that Liu Banbi turned to sword practice, which made Zhou Gouqi even more angry.
"Forget it, the teacher doesn't care anymore, why should I care?" Zhou Gouqi leaned on the stone bridge and kicked the small stone next to it into the river.
Liu Banbi said softly: "Now that I have a junior sister, I think the teacher will also have a successor. We don't have to feel sorry for the teacher anymore."
Zhou Gouqi said numbly: "I have seen that little girl. At that time, I never thought that she would eventually become the teacher's closed disciple. I originally thought that kid had some chances. After all, the teacher always does things unconstrainedly. In the end, he accepted a martial artist to do it.
Disciple, it’s not a strange thing, but since the junior sister has become my disciple, why does she start practicing swordsmanship again?”
"My junior sister is extremely talented. She is a born swordsman. What will she do if she doesn't practice swordsmanship? As long as my junior sister is not like me and doesn't study after practicing sword practice, the teacher won't say anything."
Liu Banbi said with some expectation: "My junior sister may become the most amazing swordsman in the world!"
Zhou Gouqi snorted and said nothing.
"Let's go, senior brother, I've already come here, so I can't go without a meal, right?"
Liu Banbi spoke shamelessly, but Zhou Gouqi didn't refuse and just led the guy towards home.
"That princess is not married yet. Senior brother, do you really have no idea?"
"I'm already married, why are you talking about this?"
"Isn't it true? Didn't Senior Brother like His Highness that much at that time? Now he has really let go of you?"
"What can I do if I can't let go?"
"Of course it's different. I was incompetent back then, but it's different now. If senior brother wants to renew our relationship, just relax and do it. If anyone disagrees, the sword on junior brother's waist will be the first to disagree!"
"Your sister-in-law doesn't agree, so go ahead and kill her."
"well."
"What are you sighing for?"
"Now things are in trouble. If senior brother goes to find His Highness, he will have to let another woman down. If he doesn't go to His Highness, wouldn't His Highness be let down again?"
"Then...there's nothing we can do about it."
"Senior brother, why on earth do you want to marry a wife? Can't you control the birds?"
"Besides, I'll beat you to death."
"Nowadays, senior brother may be better than me in a quarrel, but if we really want to fight, it's not necessarily possible."
"Do you really think you'll be invincible if you become a swordsman?"
"I'm not invincible, I'm just a little better than you, senior brother."
"Liu Banbi, you are still so damn annoying."
"Senior brother too."
The two of them came to the small courtyard. Before Zhou Gouqi opened the door, he had no choice but to say: "After entering the house, don't talk about those bullshit anymore."
Liu Banbi said matter-of-factly, "I'm not a fool."
Zhou Gouqi spat a mouthful of thick phlegm on the ground and then opened the door.
Smoke curled up from the small courtyard.
Zhou Wolfberry shouted: "Go catch an old hen to stew, we have guests."
When she heard the word "guest", the woman immediately ran out of the kitchen and saw an unfamiliar face. However, she quickly noticed the sword on Liu Banbi's waist and suddenly became nervous.
Liu Banbi immediately smiled and said: "I have met my sister-in-law. My name is Liu Banbi, and I studied with my senior brother, my husband."
When she heard that it was her man's younger brother, the woman quickly smiled and said: "Sit down for a while, the food will be ready soon, don't dislike it."
Liu Banbi smiled and shook his head, then watched the woman turn around and enter the house.
But soon the woman brought a bench, and before turning around this time, she asked: "Didn't you talk about studying? Why are you using a sword?"
Liu Banbi laughed and said: "I was studying at first, but then I found out that it was not the material, so I went to practice swordsmanship."
The woman frowned slightly, glanced at Zhou Wolfberry, and then said softly: "Actually, it's better to study. This kind of fighting and killing is quite dangerous."
Liu Banbi nodded and said nothing more this time.
The woman turned around with satisfaction, but actually felt a little sad.
After the woman entered the room, Liu Banbi looked at Zhou Gouqi and asked, "What exactly do you want to do, senior brother?"
Zhou Wolfberry remained silent.
Liu Banbi sighed and said softly: "Senior brother, can't you really not think about anything?"
Zhou Wolfberry took out his ears and said angrily: "Don't make excuses!"

City of Gods, at dusk.
The city gate slowly closed.
As the capital of the Liang Dynasty, the city gates have always had strict opening and closing hours. After the city gates are closed, people cannot enter the capital. If you want to open the door, you need the commander of the left guard or the right guard to come in person. But today, at the city gate
An hour after it was closed, it was already dark, but at this moment a carriage was slowly driving towards the city gate.
The driver driving the car was none other than Weng Quan, the talkative one in Zuowei Yamen. There were only two people in the carriage at the moment, Zuowei commander Song Lian and deputy commander Chen Chao.
The two of them were sitting opposite each other in the carriage. Song Lian took the initiative and said, "I have avoided many eyes and ears this time I left the city, but I don't know if there are still eyes watching."
Chen Chao shook his head and smiled: "Nowadays, people probably think that I should be in the palace of Her Royal Highness the Princess."
Song Lian asked curiously: "How did you convince Her Highness the Princess? Besides, is Her Highness really trustworthy?"
Chen Chao did not explain, but just nodded and said: "It should be no problem."
Song Lian nodded and said softly: "Your status is sensitive now, so your whereabouts must be kept secret. Otherwise, I will directly ask your Majesty to grant you the position of governor of a county, and you will be able to call on some people."
Chen Chao had a different view on this, "What we really have to face are those monks from outside the country. Letting them come is no different from sending them to death."
Song Lian sighed and was about to say something when the carriage stopped. He had no choice but to swallow what he wanted to say and said: "Be careful anyway, staying alive is the most important thing."
Chen Chao nodded.
Then Song Lian poked his head out of the carriage and said in a deep voice: "Open the city gate."
The city gate guards took a closer look and found that the person who came was indeed the commander, so they didn't say anything more and immediately went to open the city gate.
Weng Quan drove out of the city.
After more than ten miles, the carriage stopped again.
Chen Chao walked out of the carriage, and Song Lian followed him out and suddenly said, "Why didn't you let Miss Xie see you off?"
Weng Quan also said: "The young couple separate, so this has to be done as a gift."
Song Lian smiled and said, "Did we have a quarrel?"
Chen Chao glanced at the city behind him and ignored Song Lian. He just smiled and said, "Walking alone in thousands of mountains, there is no need to see each other off."
