Great Swordsman

What King Qing Ping did made Emperor Ji Xuan lose face, especially when King Qing Ping called Ji Xuan a 'baby' in front of so many people, it was a great shame!
Naturally, the Great Tribute cannot go on!

Chaotianque Square.

A group of princes and ministers, civil and military officials, 72 dishas, ​​descendants of various aristocratic families and sects, as well as diplomatic missions from various countries, walked towards Qingxiao Gate in groups of three or four.

Baiguan was very sad.

"I didn't expect that such a great tribute would be destroyed by King Qingping."

"That's right, I won four out of five fights, and the sixth match between Shi Jianxian and Princess Nanzhao was five wins out of six, and the result... hey!"

Hearing these people's words, Li Mu was also very melancholy, and said to Quan Yu and Bai Longma beside him, "I don't know if these few games I won count."

If they cheated and said that Ji Xuan called to stop the big tribute, the previous games would not be counted, so where could he justify it?

There are several places in the cave!

Li Mu couldn't bear it.

Naturally, there are people on the court who are more uncomfortable than him.

Zhang Ziyao walked at the end in a daze, and his face, which had been rejuvenated due to his practice, was even older than before his spiritual energy recovered!
He had only two sons in total, the younger son was killed by the elder son, and the elder son was... cheated to death by the younger son?

Why is this happening?

Why is this happening? !
Zhang Ziyao felt aggrieved, uncomfortable, resentful and remorseful again!
His heart is bleeding!

However, the few ministers who were on good terms with him on weekdays did not dare to speak to him at this moment. After all, his son Zhang Yulang committed the crime of deceiving the emperor and attracted King Qingping to make His Majesty humiliate him in front of more than 200 missions. How can His Majesty expose such a serious crime so easily?

If Zhang Yulang is still alive, that would be fine, but Zhang Yulang is dead, the anger of His Majesty can only be poured on Zhang Ziyao, who made you his father!
They are all human beings, and they are best at trying to figure out the holy will. At this time, how dare they risk the displeasure of the world to comfort Zhang Ziyao!

Zhang Ziyao walked behind alone, his eyes were so sad that everyone wept when he saw it!
Ying Xiaoyue was also very melancholy, the old ancestor came, but she didn't recognize her blood, she was very sorry.

opposite.

Meng Yuan's third prince, Tu Lie, was being carried by his subordinates, his rough face was full of murderous intent!
"Prince Tulie, you are too impulsive." The Xiongnu's envoy, Tuanyang, looked at his broken legs and sighed: "The little emperor who is so big is not mature enough, and he has just been humiliated by King Qingping." , is angry, you play against him... hey."

"Today's shame, this prince will definitely make him pay the price in the future!" Tu Lie's eyes were red and his face was full of ferociousness!

Ayesu, the son of the lion king, followed behind, hesitant to speak several times, but seeing the ferocious killing intent emanating from Tu Lie, he finally did not step forward.

He took a few steps behind and looked at the Peacock Princess beside him.

The peacock princess was full of smiles, walking with a burst of fragrance, as if she had encountered something very happy.

"Princess Peacock, why are you so happy?" Ayesu had nothing to say.

The relationship between the royal families of the 36 countries in the Western Regions is not bad... If Ayesu didn't lose money.

"Whether the princess is happy or not is the princess's business and has nothing to do with you. You should take care of yourself, Ayesu...Prince? Huh." Princess Peacock gave him a blank look, and led two subordinates bouncing around gone.

"You!" Ayesu was furious in his heart, but he didn't dare to speak harshly. The situation is really not good for him!

He can't offend any member of the royal family of the 36 countries in the Western Regions at this time!
"Prince Ayesu." The Buddhist disciple Xuanling put his palms together and came from behind.

"What advice does the Buddha have?" Ayesu hurriedly saluted.

The Buddha Kingdom has great influence in the Western Regions, if the Buddha is willing to help, maybe...

"Prince Ayesu, the world is like a sea of ​​bitterness, why should you be persistent." Xuan Ling smiled and said, "The sea of ​​bitterness is boundless, and the shore is the same when you look back."

This is to ask this prince to become a monk... Ayesu forced a smile: "Thank you Buddha for pointing out the maze."

Afterwards, a flash of light suddenly flashed in his mind, and he hurriedly said: "The disciple is willing to worship under the Buddha's door, and I hope that the Buddha will show mercy."

Xuan Ling smiled and shook his head: "The little monk is not good at Buddhism, so he is not qualified to accept disciples. Besides, if the prince wants to be ordained as a monk, he should also enter the Alando Temple, not the Bodhi Temple."

Of the three major temples in the Western Regions, the Alan Tuo Temple is in the Lion Kingdom, the Bodhi Temple is in the Loulan Ancient Kingdom, and the Jialan Temple is in the Jingjue Ancient Kingdom. However, neither the Jingjue Ancient Kingdom nor the Jialan Temple have sent anyone for this big tribute.

Xuanling clasped his palms together, chanted 'Amitabha Buddha' and went away in a monk's robe.

Xuan Kong, one of the Eight Heavenly Dragons, followed closely behind.

"Buddhist kingdom... is deceiving people too much!!" Ayesu gritted his teeth. If Alando Temple was willing to take him in, why would Master Moluo leave the capital in such a hurry?It's clear that they want to draw a line with him!
What Xuan Ling said just now was heartbreaking!
……

As everyone left the palace from Qingxiaomen, what happened inside quickly spread, and one spread spread to ten, ten spread to hundreds, and within half a day, the entire imperial capital knew that King Qingping had 'insulted' Emperor Daqian for Childish thing.

"Your Majesty the Ninth Five-Year Zombie, how dare you offend me? I really don't know how to write the dead word!"

"Death? If you can kill him, you will kill him as early as the Great Tribute!"

"Isn't Shi Jianxian unable to do anything to him?"

"I heard that Master Zhang's son provoked the zombie!"

"It's not a zombie, it's a drought man. There is no rain in Lin'an County for half a year, and he is the one who made the trouble!"

"You say, if this Hanba stays in the Imperial Capital..."

"This... I think, King Qingping of Daqin is more than 5000 years old, and he can be regarded as our ancestor. His Majesty is still young, so it's no big deal to be scolded."

"I just don't know if this great tribute will continue or not?"

"That's right, Shi Jianxian won two rounds in a row, and was about to win the third round, but a Hanba came, and this made a lot of trouble!"

In the chaotic public opinion, Li Mu had bid farewell to Bai Longma, Quan Yu, Meng Qiuhan and others, and returned to Qingyou Mountain alone, waiting for Zhu'er and the others to come back.

only……

For some reason, I always feel like I forgot something.

Li Mu checked carefully, and suddenly remembered the big baby in his arms.

not good!

Li Mu quickly took out the wooden bowl, poured it out, and threw out the doll inside.

"Hi~~" Waowa squatted on the ground and hiccupped. Her chubby belly was still duang, duang. She was a little confused, holding the roast duck in one hand and the roast duck in the other, her mouth full of oil. Looking left and right, when she saw Li Mu, she rushed forward with a cry: "Li Mu, Li Mu~"

"Baby, I'm sorry, I just..." Li Mu was about to apologize, but Huahua hastily interrupted him: "It's no good, the roast duck is almost gone~ hiccup~ Li Mu, hiccup~ go...buy, hiccup~ "

"Ah..." Seeing the baby hiccupping and out of breath, Li Mu felt distressed and... speechless.

Forget it, you are ginseng, so I shouldn't treat you as a human being.

As for roast ducks, Li Mu called Lin Aimin and asked him to buy two hundred.

When the baby heard the number, she wept with joy, and tears of joy flowed down from the corners of her mouth.

"Li Mu, you're so kind~" the baby boasted in a childish voice.

"Do you know why you bought so many roast ducks?" Li Mu looked at her with a smile on his face.

The baby's expression changed, he dropped the roast duck with a groan, and ran outside, but Li Mu grabbed the collar with one hand and grabbed him.

"After eating so many roast ducks, it's easy to accumulate food. Come, read the scriptures, and exercise your stomach." Li Mu took out the yellowed Buddhist scriptures.

The doll held her mouth in a grievance.

How come good times are always so short?

She took the Buddhist scriptures with her greasy hands, and began to read obediently.

……

Sunset Moonrise.

Palace, Zichen Hall.

Several hours passed, not only did Ji Xuan's anger not decrease, but it tended to intensify!
In the study room, he smashed everything he could see into pieces. If Qin Mengyao hadn't come in time, even the broken jade disc transformed by 'Heshibi' would be gone!
"Your Majesty, calm down. That Ying Zodiac was originally King Qingping, with a high position and authority, but now he is just a lonely ghost, and His Majesty is the Ninth Five-Year Lord, the Lord of the world. He is deliberately provoking His Majesty. Why should His Majesty let his words go?" In your heart?" Qin Mengyao comforted Ji Xuan, but how could Ji Xuan listen?

"Ninth Five-Year Lord? Lord of the world? Hahaha! What a joke! Can I, the Ninth Five-Year Lord, kill him, a lonely ghost? In this world, can anyone help me kill him? No, not at all! My this The emperor, you are so useless!!" Ji Xuan faintly gave up on himself.

"Your Majesty, you can't go on like this! Now that the big tribute is suspended, the diplomatic corps of various countries will definitely ask for an explanation tomorrow morning! Your Majesty needs to call all the ministers to discuss this matter immediately!" Qin Mengyao said in a deep voice.

"Ask me to ask for an explanation? How unreasonable! How unreasonable!! What are they! How dare they ask me for an explanation?!" Ji Xuan roared angrily: "I will destroy all these small barbarian countries!! Let's see who dares to ask me for it! statement!!"

Qin Mengyao finally realized that Ji Xuan's state was not right, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, you..."

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty." At this time, Zhang Xi, the chief inspector of ceremonies, came in, and said respectfully and quickly: "The nine masters of the Shenfu, as well as Prime Minister Zuo, please see Your Majesty."

"No, I don't see any of them! They're all a group of villains who seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, villains!!!" Ji Xuan roared.

"This..." Zhang Xi shrank his shoulders and looked at Qin Mengyao in horror and embarrassment.

"I'll go see you." Qin Mengyao sighed, then walked to Zhang Xi's side and said, "Your Majesty's condition is not right, please inform the imperial physician immediately!"

"Yes, ma'am." Zhang Xigong replied.

However, when Qin Mengyao walked away, he immediately ran to Ji Xuan and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, Princess Loulan of the Western Regions, please see me."

"No, I said it, no, no one...Princess Loulan?" The furious Ji Xuan was startled, and a charming and warm smile suddenly flashed in his mind.

"Yes, Your Majesty, it's Loulan's Peacock Princess." Seeing that His Majesty was no longer angry, Zhang Xi hurriedly said with a smile: "My servant found out that during the great tribute, Princess Peacock admired His Majesty very much, and she always looked at His Majesty with admiration and smiled. The empress glared at her... Ah, the slaves deserve to die, the slaves deserve to die."

"Huh? Elder sister of the queen glared at Princess Peacock..." Ji Xuan suddenly realized, "No wonder Princess Peacock didn't look at me anymore. It turned out to be because of this reason."

"Your Majesty, do you want to see Princess Peacock?" Zhang Xi said in a low voice, "I'm afraid it won't take long for your majesty to meet the ministers."

"Then, then..." Ji Xuan hesitated.

"Your Majesty is in an irritable mood. This servant thinks that Princess Peacock is understanding and will surely comfort His Majesty's heart." Zhang Xi laughed.

"Then let's meet, remember, don't let the queen sister know!" Ji Xuan snorted.

"Yes, yes, it's free for slaves." Zhang Xi smiled and stepped back, sending all the eunuchs and maids away along the way.

Soon, he led the Peacock Princess in.

Princess Peacock is wearing a glutinous skirt tonight. Although it conceals her enchanting figure, her exotic face, paired with a delicate and dignified waxy skirt, has a different style.

"Princess Peacock, Your Majesty just got angry. When you saw Your Majesty, you should say more flattering words and don't make His Majesty unhappy. Otherwise, your slaves will not be able to take care of you." Zhang Xi said in a low voice.

"Understood, thank you Eunuch Zhang this time." The Peacock Princess smiled and said: "To thank Eunuch Zhang, I will return the bet you placed in my Western Regions intact. In addition, I will give Eunuch an additional 10 taels of gold How about the spiritual creature?"

"Ah, this... slave, thank you Princess Peacock!" Zhang Xi was overjoyed!
A few days ago, in the decisive battle between Li Mu and the Sword Demon, Zhang Xi was not idle. He took time out of his busy schedule to put most of his life savings on the Sword Demon!
The reason why he suppressed the sword demon was naturally because he was well-informed and knew that Li Mu's cultivation base was very different from that of the sword demon, but he did not expect that in the end he was defeated by Li Mu!
As an eunuch, Zhang Xi has no children, and the only thing he can rely on is money. But this time, he lost most of his life savings in this gambling game. Should come down.

Now, not only does his wish come true, but he also earns a lot of extra money. He is very happy!

So, when Princess Peacock entered the imperial study, Zhang Xi stood outside in person, sending all the eunuchs and maids away like a door god.

From time to time, he heard the charming and coquettish voice of the Peacock Princess and the hearty laughter of His Majesty from the imperial study.

"Princess Peacock is not only generous, but also very unique in comforting people." Zhang Xi thought happily, and decided to have more contacts with her in the future, so as to establish a good relationship!
time flies.

"Your Majesty, it's getting late." Zhang Xi looked at the night and felt that it was almost time for the empress to end, so he hurriedly reminded the two people inside.

"Ah, so fast?" Ji Xuan was a little dissatisfied.

"Your Majesty, Eunuch Zhang is a good person, so don't make things difficult for him." Princess Peacock smiled coquettishly, "And I have important matters to attend to, so it's time to go back."

During this hour, she chatted with Ji Xuan all over the world, flirted with each other from time to time, and even wiped his side with her arms, making Ji Xuan so fascinated!
"Princess Peacock is right." Ji Xuan pretended to be majestic, and said, "If that's the case, then come and see me tomorrow!"

"Understood." Princess Peacock got up, but pretended to sprain her foot, and crashed into Ji Xuan's arms: "Oh~"

With the warm and fragrant soft jade in his arms, Ji Xuan was elated, but he pretended to be calm: "Is Princess Peacock alright?"

"It's nothing, I just offended His Majesty, and I hope His Majesty will forgive me." Princess Peacock said sweetly.

"It's okay, I forgive you for your innocence!" Ji Xuan smiled generously, as if all the previous unhappiness had been forgotten.

"Your Majesty, take your leave." Princess Peacock finally left.

In the imperial study room, only her strong fragrance was left.

Ji Xuan sniffed his nostrils lightly, suddenly, his face tightened, and he hurriedly blew the scent away from the room.

Not long after, Qin Mengyao came.

"Your Majesty?" Qin Mengyao came in and saw Ji Xuan's calm expression, a little worried: "Your Majesty, are you alright?"

"How could something happen to me?" Ji Xuan was a little guilty, but his mouth was firm.

"It's good that your Majesty is fine." Qin Mengyao thought that Zhang Xi had called the imperial doctor to treat His Majesty.

Then, she informed Ji Xuan of the results of her discussions with the ministers.

Ji Xuan didn't listen much, his mind was full of images of the Peacock Princess crashing into his arms charmingly.

"Your Majesty?" Qin Mengyao frowned.

"Ah? Ah, sister Empress is what she says, I believe you." Ji Xuan came back to his senses, got up with a guilty conscience, and said: "I feel a little uncomfortable, so I will trouble Elder Empress here."

With that said, he fled in despair.

Qin Mengyao frowned slightly.

……

The dark clouds cover the bright moon, and the stars are shining brightly.

On the quiet mountain.

The doll who had read Buddhist scriptures for several hours had already fallen asleep, and from time to time there was the sound of slamming her mouth in sleep.

Li Mu sat in the gazebo in the courtyard, reading Buddhist scriptures.

Before the baby recited scriptures, he once again 'saw' a miraculous phenomenon, but unfortunately it was still short-lived.

Where is the problem?

Li Mu was thinking about this question.

"Sovereign." Suddenly, Lin Aimin's voice came from outside the round door: "Sovereign, someone is asking to see you at the foot of the mountain."

"Who came to see me at such a late hour?" Li Mu asked without looking back.

"This person calls herself the Peacock Princess." Lin Aimin said.

That banshee?
What is she here for?
In Li Mu's mind, the beautiful dance of the Peacock Princess dancing in Chaotianque can't help appearing,

"Sect Master?" Seeing him in a daze, Lin Aimin hurriedly reminded him.

"Please come in!" Li Mu coughed twice and said.

"Yes, suzerain." Lin Aimin bowed respectfully.

Not long after, the peacock princess in a waxy skirt appeared outside the round door, coming gracefully.

"The peacock has seen the Poetry and Sword Fairy." The peacock princess bowed curtly, her exquisite face shining brightly under the stars.

"I don't dare to be the Princess Peacock is the princess of Loulan, I can't afford such a big gift from you." Li Mu got up, put the Buddhist scriptures into the Dragon Scale Space, invited her into the pavilion, and asked, "I don't know why the Peacock Princess came late at night. ?”

"Naturally, I came here for the bet of Shi Jianxian." The Peacock Princess took out a spiritual storage bag, and handed it to Li Mu's hand in a charming manner. Down.

Oh, childish!

If you have the ability, you can do it with real swords and guns!
Li Mu opened the storage spiritual bag with a look of disdain, and he felt it for a while. Inside it was the bet he had placed at the "tea stall" in the Lion Kingdom, the black dragon fish, the emperor's fluid, and the messy spiritual things he had pressed out. , nothing less, everything is there.

only……

"That's it?" Li Mu chuckled and said, "With 19 times the odds, you Western Regions will only return the principal you have invested?"

"Of course not." The Peacock Princess smiled and took out another spiritual storage bag, and handed it to Li Mu.

Li Mu took it calmly, and found that she had teased his palm again!

Foxy, I bah!

Li Mu opened the spiritual storage bag, and inside were more than a hundred pieces of fist-sized spiritual jade.

"This is?" Li Mu looked at Princess Peacock.

Princess Peacock smiled and said, "The spiritual jade of Che Shi Kingdom."

"Jade dragon evil spirit?" Li Mu's eyes lit up, remembering that Che Shiguo had this among the tributes of the Great Tribute!

Then, he shook his head: "Not enough!"

Although the evil spirit of the jade dragon is precious, it is not worth more than 400 million taels of gold, right?
"Shi Jianxian, don't worry, the night is long." Princess Peacock took out another spiritual bag for storage.

Li Mu suddenly frowned, if I don't pick it up this time...cough cough!
Li Mu hurriedly recited the Bingxin Jue silently, and entered into a state of absolute calmness. Then, he took the spiritual bag, and sure enough, she scratched him again!
This woman is really hateful!
Li Mu checked the spiritual bag, and inside was a coral, about one meter high, azure blue all over, dreamy like smoke!

Moreover, there are strange fluctuations of spiritual power in this coral.

Li Mu's heart moved, and he said, "Is this the desert coral tribute from Uzi Kingdom?"

Princess Peacock nodded, and took out another spiritual storage bag, which contained about a hundred white cactus fruits from the Lion Kingdom, capable of life and death, flesh and bones.

Li Mu checked the properties of the medicine carefully, and found that it was much stronger than the baby's saliva!
Then, Princess Peacock took out several spiritual storage bags one after another, all of which were tributes from the Western Regions today!
After careful calculation, Li Mu found that the value of these items was indeed worth 19 times the odds.

"I am very satisfied with the sincerity of the Western Regions." Li Mu scratched his hand, itching.

"It's good that Shi Jianxian is satisfied, and it's not in vain. I came here late at night. Oh, I'm so thirsty. Does Shi Jianxian have water? I'm so thirsty." The peacock princess's eyes are like autumn waters, as if she has a thousand kinds of amorous feelings, and you can pick them up .

"Princess Peacock, please respect yourself, I'm not the kind of person you think!" Li Mu sat upright.

"The kind of person I'm thinking of, what kind of person is it?" Peacock Princess lazily got up and leaned towards Li Mu.

"What are you doing?!" At this moment, a shocked voice came from outside.

Li Mu turned his head and saw that it was... Zhu'er!
