When the small-scale entertainment event of Leaving the Palace and Asking the Sword came to a successful conclusion, the sun was already setting in the west.
The two young men who were invited by Luo Chuan to the palace to celebrate the New Year were not able to stand to the end. The winner of the first level was a Lijun Qingqi who was now on duty in the palace. The same was true for the winner of the second level. Lijun Qingqi himself
It is not difficult for a warrior who has experienced hundreds of battles to gain an advantage in such a melee. However, the winner of the three realms is somewhat unexpected. It turned out to be the girl Gan Meizi who was invited into the palace by Luochuan.
This girl who even looks a little weak not only wields an astonishingly huge battle axe, but is not weak at all in melee fighting. What is even more eye-catching is the jingling silver jewelry on her body.
A baby with a strong defense, several blood knights' combined attacks were unable to break her defense, which really made the two teenagers dumbfounded.
Luo Chuan did not end the battle in the Four Realms personally. The winner was a Wangchuan swordsman who used a heavy sword. He was not the most skilled among the Four Realms. His final victory seemed to be due to his proficiency in close combat.
, Luo Chuan watched carefully. In this small-scale melee, he was able to seek good fortune and avoid disaster, and he had the absolute initiative in the fight in the same area.
The unexpected thing about the Battle of Five Realms is that it is still a woman. It is the young female Taoist spirit Jingzi who has been with Luochuan since she came down from Cangyan Mountain. Not only is her swordsmanship very pure, but her spiritual sense is extremely sharp.
With his superb use of water energy, Wangchuan sword cultivators, including Chang Wuxi, were unable to win even if they used wheel fighting, and they suffered defeats one after another.
The Battle of the Six Realm Great Monks is the pinnacle battle of Wenjian today, and it is also the highest-level battle of strong men that can be seen in the world. The participants are almost all Wangchuan Sword Cultivators. In order to ensure that the martial arts field is not destroyed,
They adopted a relatively gentle and more honorable fighting method. Each of them concentrated their sword energy into the flying sword. Several people formed a circle and only used flying swords to fight each other in the circle. Anyone with flying swords who came out of the circle would lose.
Qin Wansong, who had already entered the Sixth Realm, also suffered a fate, but he was eliminated first. He didn't have any unnecessary sorrow or joy. He just put away the flying sword and still stood there watching the battle. In the end, the flying sword was the only one left in the circle.
Congratulations will be given only when the winner appears.
The winner is the long-bearded old Taoist Niu Dexin. At this time, Luo Chuan naturally already knew that this old Taoist priest was the younger brother of Niu Deyi, a strong man in the upper three realms. He also heard Qin Wansong say in private that this Niu family was also a famous monastic family.
Among the five direct brothers of the first generation, only two of them could be considered as deviants and went to Wangchuan. The other three were all in their own sect. What is surprising is that all the five brothers in this sect were geniuses in cultivating Taoism. According to reports,
Changxu Laodao himself said that he himself was the least talented among the five brothers, but he was already a top expert in the Sixth Realm of Tongshen, which made people believe in the power of talent.
The sword competition was over, and all the spectators had something to gain. Luo Chuan handed over the treasures selected from the palace treasure house to the winners one by one, and then rushed to the front palace together with Zhao Wuji and Luo Jiang.
When they arrived at the front palace, several important civil servants had been waiting for some time, but they seemed to be still discussing the civil and military examinations. Even Luo Chuan and the others did not notice when they entered the main hall. It was not until Gao Shixian sang the ceremony that several people started to speak.
salute.
"You don't need to be polite, sirs," Luo Chuan turned to ask Gao Shixian behind him, "Where is the envoy from Yongchang County?"
Gao Shixian bowed and said, "Reporting to the Grand Administrator, the envoy from Yongchang County is waiting in the side hall at the moment."
"Summon them to the palace," Luo Chuan waved his hand and Gao Shixian silently withdrew. He looked at the civil and military ministers under the high platform and said, "Logically speaking, there should be a cumbersome process for receiving an envoy from a county, but I think this person is in a hurry.
Those who come here to see me during the Chinese New Year should not care about these things."
"With Meng Xiaotian's character, it's hard to believe how much goodwill the envoys he sent will bring," Luo Jiang said slowly.
"Now that Nanyi is under pressure, Yongchang County has lost three warehouses and suffered heavy losses in the battle of Yicheng. If you want to survive this spring safely, you probably can't withstand more twists and turns. Our army's Tongcang and Shou Tongcheng front lines are putting pressure on Yicheng.
It's too big, so it's only right that they rush to seek peace," Zhao Wuji said, "Let's see what price they can pay."
"It's best to let them use some of their stored grain. Nowadays, Li County needs too much food on both the north and south lines," Treasurer Xie Wushang said expressionlessly, "The land of three warehouses in Yongchang County is flat and open.
It is an important grain-producing area, but most of the grain produced over the years has been transferred and stored in the central part of Yongchang County. Therefore, during the Northern Expedition, Woli County captured the entire Sancang area in one fell swoop. However, the grain storage did not increase much in the short term. Instead, the war
Subsequent governance and appeasement will require more food expenditures, which is a huge problem."
Luochuan nodded, and the sound of the palace waiters singing could be heard outside the hall, "The envoy from Yongchang County is here to see you!"
The door of the main hall opened, and a bookish middle-aged man wearing Yongchang County court clothes held a golden scroll in both hands and walked into the hall with his head lowered.
Behind him were five practitioners dressed as Taoist priests. They were making secrets with one hand and carrying an extremely large red box covered with runes with the other hand. The moment the box landed on the ground, Lian Sitting on the throne on the high platform far away
Luochuan above felt a comfortable warmth coming from his feet, which was extremely magical.
At the same time that the red box landed, a shadow appeared silently beside Luo Chuan.
The middle-aged scholar bent down and performed basic courtesy, raised his head slightly, looked at Luo Chuan's face and said, "Foreign minister Meng Sanshu, on the orders of Meng Jiaoyang, the prefect of Yongchang County, pays homage to the prefect of Li County!"
As soon as he said this, the whole palace was shocked!
Even Luo Chuan, who had always focused his gaze on the red box, couldn't help but turn his gaze to the middle-aged scholar and asked, "You said you were ordered by the prefect of Yongchang County... Meng Jiaoyang?"
"Reporting to the Grand Administrator, the current Grand Administrator of Yongchang County is indeed Meng Jiaoyang," the middle-aged scholar did not look at Luo Chuan, but bowed his head in a slightly humble manner.
"What happened to Meng Xiaotian, the former governor of Yongchang County?" Luo Chuan responded slightly rudely.
"The former eunuch is ill, so he gave way to his eldest son Meng Jiaoyang." The middle-aged scholar slowly raised his head and met Luo Chuan's eyes. "This time, the foreign minister came with a gift on the order of the eunuch Meng Jiaoyang."
It is very sincere to pay my respects to the Grand Administrator of Li County."
He turned around and made a gesture to the five Taoist priests. The five Taoist priests looked at each other and changed their spells. The runes originally attached to the red box suddenly flew into the air, forming a faint formation around the red box, slowly rotating.
!
Upon seeing this, the five Taoist priests changed their methods again. The red box was opened, and a huge "flame" suddenly spread out, filling most of the palace at once!
And as the "flame" appeared, there were waves of heat hitting my face!
The palace, which was still damp and cold, immediately became steaming with heat, as if it was summer in an instant!
