"Of course there is a chance. Haven't your descendants already accepted him as a member of the Taibai clan? He is close to the water tower. Besides, he and Yuan Xue are in the same boat. It is not difficult to wear the same pants as you."
"Tsk, I'm not interested in men." The middle-aged man joked, but there was no smile in his eyes. He stared at the old man intently. The old man yawned and took out a small transparent bottle from his arms.
Throw it to the middle-aged man. The middle-aged man takes it, raises it to his eyes, looks at it carefully, and asks curiously, "What is this?"
"I took it out of his body easily."
"This is...a needle, a Gu worm?"
"Well, a needle that goes backwards and breaks the heart, a worm that eats bones and kills people. Who would have thought that when this needle was only three inches away from his heart, it would be entangled by this worm. The needle pricked the worm to death, and the worm blocked the needle.
Otherwise, he would have died long ago. This kind of luck is not bad."
The middle-aged man said oh, and after a few breaths he said calmly: "Luck is a strong man's humble words. This Prince Tiannan's luck is really not small."
"The fate between you and him is not over yet, nor is the grudge between him and Tianhuo settled. Tianhuo is ruthless and just treats all things as stupid dogs. Yuanxue is too domineering. Looking at the turmoil of the world in the past few years, Yuanxue always wants to
The destiny that occupies a whole area of the world leaves no grass behind wherever it passes. In this regard, the Heavenly Fire is too strong to outshine the Yuanxue. Each of the three thousand worlds has its own reasons. Although I cannot interfere in the dispute between you, the Heavenly Fire and the Yuanxue.
Although there are disputes, I am still willing to watch the sky fire overpower Yuan Xue."
"You really think so?"
"If I didn't think so, would I have saved that Prince Tiannan?"
The middle-aged man nodded and said with a smile: "That makes sense."
"But you should still pay attention to the younger daughter of your clan, she is very ambitious."
"As long as I'm here, she won't be able to cause any trouble."
"Haha, be careful of the boat capsizing in the gutter."
The middle-aged man stopped talking and stood quietly beside the old man, looking at the mountains in the far north. The old man stretched himself and pointed to the puddle in front of him, "How long will it take for there to be fish in this water?"
"If the water doesn't dry out, there will naturally be fish. It won't take long."
"That's good, I can continue fishing."
…
Dagan, Zhuocheng, Changming Palace.
With the palace lanterns and candles, the main hall in the evening is as bright as day. The huge Changming Palace is empty, except for two people sitting in front of the dragon chair in the deepest part. There is a chessboard in front of them, with black and white stones, canine teeth intertwined, and a fight is going on.
"Tenth brother, when it comes to chess skills, I am not as good as you."
"Haha, brother Huang, this game is a draw."
Emperor Chengqi Li Xuanci, who was wearing an imperial crown, dropped a few chess pieces in his hand, clapped his hands, and said with a smile: "Although my chess skills are not as good as yours, I still have good eyesight. You are hiding your clumsiness and letting me do it."
Jin Wang Li Xuanmin gave a thumbs up and complimented: "The emperor's vision is not as good as that of my younger brother. It is better to hide one's humility than to show one's ugliness. However, this game of chess is indeed a draw. It's not that I intend to give in."
"Okay, stop being so pretentious, I don't like it." Li Xuanci spoke with a normal expression, but his brows opened slightly. Regardless of whether it was true or not, King Jin's words seemed to be useful.
"When it comes to chess skills, none of us brothers can match Brother Ninth."
Li Xuanci hummed, lowered his eyes slightly, raised them again, and laughed loudly: "My ninth brother is unparalleled in the world. He is a blessing to the country and a blessing to the Li family. How can he be just a chess player." Li Xuanmin did not answer, but just laughed.
Smiling, the meaning on his face is hard to understand.
"Is there any news about Lao Jiu?"
Li Xuanmin shook his head: "I heard that some Chinese cavalry officers and soldiers have returned to camp to pay orders, but I haven't heard any news about Ninth Brother. I don't know where they are now."
"Not back yet?" Li Xuanci frowned, feeling quite unhappy. Worried? Happy? Or hesitant? He couldn't tell clearly. Every time he mentioned Li Luo, he always had various thoughts in his mind: this dragon chair, this emperor.
The position, in the final analysis, was given to him by him.
"I should be back, maybe I was delayed on the way."
"Now that you're back, why don't you go back to Zhuocheng!" Emperor Chengqi was a little unhappy. The emperor's authority made Li Xuanmin feel a little depressed.
"Brother, don't worry, just wait a little longer, it should be soon. Another round?"
"No." Li Xuanci glanced at the chessboard, seeming a little upset. Now that the world is at peace, the Western Region is pacified, and the East China Sea has returned, Lingnan has no time to take care of itself, and there has been no movement in Mobei for a long time. The five prefectures of Dagan are looking to be revived. Over the years,
He was also trying his best to cure it, but why was he becoming more and more uneasy?
"Is there nothing going on outside?" Li Xuanci asked seemingly casually. Li Xuanmin understood the elegant meaning of the string and knew what his imperial brother was asking. He looked solemn and replied softly, "It's nothing big. The occasional bandit trouble is not a big deal.
In the past few years, Li Gumian has made great achievements in quelling the chaos. He has led his troops to win every battle. He has never heard of any rebels who can cause trouble. Needless to say, the Xifu countries have been honest for many years. I heard that this year there are two more countries to come forward.
It is a good sign to come to pay tribute. The reputation of the emperor is far-reaching. Needless to say, the East China Sea is becoming increasingly close, and our Dagan has always been kind to the islands in the East China Sea. They are very grateful to the emperor now. The only thing to worry about is
In Nanfu."
"Why, the Song family still won't stop!? What does Yun Wuyan do? If he doesn't succeed, let's go to Li Gumian instead!" Chengqi Emperor Long Yan was furious and quite unhappy.
"Brother, please calm down. The Song family is actually just trying to survive. Although Yun Wuyan has not wiped out the Song family, the Nanwang Mansion has been suppressed by him in a corner of the world in recent years. It is difficult to make any progress. Not to mention meritorious service, but it is not a fault.
I'm afraid it's inappropriate to change the commander at this time. If the Song family takes advantage of our deployment of troops and takes the opportunity to go north, it will be the people of Dagan who suffer."
After Li Xuanmin persuaded him, Li Xuanci didn't mention the change of commander again. He was just talking about it. If he really wanted to change the commander, he would be replaced by Mu Tianlang's deputy commander. What do the people in the world think of this! Brothers don't get along? Are they in the same room and are at war with each other? He
He can't afford this notoriety, nor can he afford the consequences. Moreover, Li Xuanci has also been in charge of the army. Although he has deliberately supported Li Gumian and a group of Dagan's new generals in recent years, no matter what, he has to admit one thing. Compared with
Among the elite soldiers in Mu Tianlang's army who followed Li Luo from the Western Region to Dongfu, and then from Mobei to Lingnan, Li Gumian was still far behind. Not to mention Yun Wuyan, who was the leader in Mu Tianlang's army.
Among the generals who manage the army, Chi Li, Yuan Jun, and Hucha Jing are all no less powerful than Li Gumian. Even his cheap sister, Princess Mu Chan, is very good at leading troops in battles.
Not to mention that there is an old and cunning Cang'erhou in Mu Tianlang's army. If Li Gumian is replaced, maybe the Song family will have a chance to breathe.
