I'm really not a Daoist!

Chapter 185 Is there any prince in the world for 40 years?
"Why is it impossible?"

Empress Xiao said coldly: "Nanqi Fang has been suppressed by my Nanliang Fang lineage for too long. They dream of suppressing my Nanliang Fang, and it happens that this special person Xiao Mian established Nanliang. What do you think? How could they not take action?"

Ji Bofu straightened up and said, "I thought a family would have to deal with the outside world together."

"Kid, you are really naive!"

Empress Xiao gently poked Ji Bofu between the eyebrows and said: "Of course the noble clans must work together to deal with external dangers, but when there is no danger, it is normal for several factions within the clan to fight against each other. .”

"The clan leader doesn't care?" Ji Bofu asked.

Empress Xiao smiled sweetly and said: "Of course it doesn't matter. Competing with each other will make oneself and the other party stronger. Whether it is among the noble families or in the court, the balance is what those in power need to be familiar with most. It is also the method that requires the most proficiency.”

"One cannot be strong and the other weak, a balance must be maintained!!"

Ji Bofu rolled his eyes and said: "You guys who play the balance game are the most annoying. If it were me, I would flip the table over!!"

Empress Xiao said sadly: "If we have such strong power and background as you, we can naturally do as we please, but when they are not enough to convince everyone, the way of balance is the best way."

"Not only can you ensure your own safety, but you can also extend your authority as much as possible!!"

"Ugh!"

Ji Bofu sighed deeply and said, "I always feel that this matter is not that simple. There seems to be something hidden behind it!"

Queen Xiao said softly: "So what if there is something going on behind my back?"

"Let him be strong and let him be strong. I just need to stand still and remain still. Sometimes it is better to be still than to move."

"See him raise the tower, and watch it collapse."

"How do they have anything to do with us? We just need to stabilize our own power steadily. Even if the war spreads across the territory of Great Zhou, we will have enough strength to deal with it."

Of course Empress Xiao knew that there was something hidden behind Li Xiuning's marriage to Xiao Mian. If she couldn't even figure it out, her years as empress and now emperor would have been in vain.

But what if something happens?

All the storms cannot affect Da Zhou. What Da Zhou needs most now is to recuperate.

Again, even if he knew about the conspiracy planned by Li Tang and Nan Liang, Dazhou no longer had any energy to deal with the conspiracy planned by Nan Liang and Li Tang. At most, it would only have an influence on the political level.

Nowadays, Dazhou is short of people, money, and food. Although the territory is large, it takes time to digest it.

"Ugh!"

"Recuperate!"

Ji Bofu let out a long sigh. Since the founding of the Zhou Dynasty, the national policy has been to enlighten the people, but it also takes time to enlighten the people. Enlightenment of the people is closely linked to recuperation.

Dazhou's national policy is very good, but it will take a long time to reap the sweet fruits.

During this period of time, the entire Jiuzhou seemed to have pressed the pause button. Dazhou was working hard to digest the territory of Liu Wuzhou and Wagangzhai, while Nanliang and Li Tang were busy with marriage matters.

Through the joint propaganda between Nanliang and Li Tang, the prestigious noble families already knew that Emperor Xiao Mian of Nanliang was going to marry Li Xiuning, and that he would confer Li Xiuning as Queen of Nanliang on the day he married Li Xiuning.

The wedding date has been set, the first day of May! !
The first day of May is not a good day, but as long as Xiao Xian and Li Xiuning are willing, the first day of May is a very good day.

"The first day of May, there is still half a month left!"

Ji Bofu didn't say anything when he received the news, but he practiced harder and harder. Except for resting in Queen Xiao's courtyard at night, he basically practiced in the enshrinement courtyard during the day.

After the separation of the Three Kingdoms, the world has become more and more peaceful. Although there are occasional wars, it is much more peaceful than it was at the end of the Sui Dynasty and when he came down from the mountain.

The world is at peace, and the aura of peace between heaven and earth is getting stronger and stronger. He is practicing faster and faster, and more and more yin residue has been tempered in his soul.

The more yin residue was tempered, the deeper his cultivation became, and the little bit of pure yang in the soul's head became more and more powerful.

However, cultivation is cultivation, and realm is realm. The deeper the cultivation, the more powerful his combat power becomes, but his realm has not increased at all.

The Yin Shen realm is not divided into various small realms, while the ghosts and immortals are roughly divided into different levels based on how many thunder tribulations they have passed through. The power of the tribulations is also different.

A person with outstanding talent may survive one powerful thunder tribulation, which may be more powerful than other people's ability to survive two thunder tribulations. This is only a superficial classification.

For Qi Refiners, there is no such realm. The Yin God is the Yin God, and the Yang God is the Yang God.

Ji Bofu roughly divided them into three rough realms based on his own practice, which are distinguished by the parts of the pure yang machine that reflect the yin god. At present, his pure yang machine has reflected the entire head in a golden light.

Only his head and neck still looked gloomy, so he divided this stage into the early stage of Yin God, and waited until his Yin God torso was transformed into a body of pure Yang by the golden light reflected by the pure Yang machine in the head. , he estimated that this stage should be the middle stage of Yinshen.

This kind of realm division cannot be made true. Even if it is announced to the public, few people will take it seriously. Ji Bofu has no intention of making this division public. He just uses this division to remind himself.

April 28.

The garden is full of spring colors.

The extraordinarily long winter has passed, the leaves on the trees have sprouted green buds, the willows have sprouted new buds, and the green grass pokes out from the cold ground.

A spring rain fell, and the whole earth seemed to turn green.

Ji Bofu stood on the top of the mountain and looked at the entire Zhuojun. The breath of spring this year seemed to be particularly strong, and the whole place he saw was filled with vitality.

And the small hill under his feet is getting taller and taller. The manor on the top of the mountain can overlook the entire Zhuojun City and the Imperial Palace.

"The vitality of heaven and earth is getting stronger and stronger. Is this the great world?"

Ji Bofu's eyes turned into jade eyeballs, and a steady stream of heaven and earth energy entered Kyushu from the northwest. The violent heaven and earth energy collided with the gentle heaven and earth energy in Kyushu, setting off one after another energy invisible to mortals. storm.

It is precisely because the vitality of heaven and earth is getting stronger and stronger that the entire Kyushu is constantly absorbing the vitality of heaven and earth to nourish itself like a river bed that has dried up for countless years. The best proof is that the hill where his manor is located has become taller and taller.

Ji Bofu overlooked the entire world, and finally his sight fell on Xiangfeng.

Elephant Peak was originally named because it resembles an elephant. Now, the Elephant Peak located in the mountains looks more and more like an elephant. In front of the entire Elephant Peak, a long mountain path descends from the top of the mountain. The top reaches straight to the ground like an elephant's trunk.

The peak on which the Bronze Hall is located is an elephant head, with two tusks rising into the sky on both sides. The entire elephant peak looks like a giant elephant from the wild looking for food leisurely on the earth.

"Why does this look more and more like an elephant? Could it be that this is really a demon king that fell before?"

Ji Bofu looked left and right and couldn't see anything strange. In the end, he could only attribute it to the strangeness of nature.

"Quick return!"

Queen Xiao's voice suddenly sounded in Ji Bofu's ears.

Beaming into a line.

"Your Majesty's recent cultivation has become more and more advanced. I'm afraid she's not far away from being a Martial Saint. The Emperor's martial arts is indeed terrifying!"

Ji Bofu sighed and quietly returned to the manor from the top of the mountain.

As soon as he walked into Queen Xiao's courtyard, Queen Xiao handed him an invitation, "Invitation from Nanliang, Xiao Mian wants to invite you and me to attend his wedding!"

Ji Bofu took the invitation and threw it on the table, wondering: "If you and I are invited to attend, what does he mean? Give us eye drops?"

"No, he doesn't dare to give us eye drops at this juncture!"

Empress Xiao explained: "This time he not only invited us, he also invited famous noble families in the world. It can be said that this time Jiangling will be very lively and it should be a grand event."

Ji Bofu thought to himself: "If Mr. Xiao is cruel and kills all the guests attending his wedding at this time, the entire Kyushu will probably be seriously injured!"

The corner of Queen Xiao's mouth twitched slightly, but she still suppressed the strangeness in her heart, "If he really dares to do this, I don't know whether all the guests who attended his wedding will die or not, but he and Li Tang were sent to attend his wedding. All members must die."

"Then not only Nanliang will be lost, but Li Tang will be lost too!!"

Ji Bofu said with a smile: "Just a joke, just a joke, as long as Xiao Mian's brain is not broken, he will not do such a lose-lose thing."

Queen Xiao smiled and asked: "Then what do you think, will you go?"

Ji Bofu asked back: "Does the empress want to go?"

Empress Xiao pondered for a moment and said: "I won't go. I am the Emperor of Zhou Dynasty and the foundation of the country. You must not touch it lightly!"

"I believe you can protect me, but in order to reassure the court and the people, I will not go. Otherwise, if something happens, it will easily shake the morale of the army."

"not to mention"

She glared at Ji Bofu and said, "If you cause trouble in Jiangling, won't I be your burden then?"

"How could it be possible? How could I cause trouble in Advent!"

Ji Bofu smiled sarcastically, "But it's fine if you don't go, my dear, then if I go alone, in what capacity will I go? As Xiao Xian's uncle or as an envoy of the Great Zhou Dynasty?"

Empress Xiao's eyes were like daggers, she gave Ji Bofu a fierce look and said, "You can go in whatever capacity you want, but if you dare to call yourself Xiao Mian's uncle, you will see how I will deal with you when you come back!" !”

"It's still a joke, it's still a joke!"

Ji Bofu laughed with him again.

I don’t know what’s going on lately, but Empress Xiao seems to be becoming more and more concerned about her age, and she is increasingly unwilling to let herself bear this stigma.

Even though everyone in the world knows that the two of them are together, Empress Xiao is now less and less willing to talk about such things.He knew that she was afraid that he would be bound by this stigma. After all, the two of them were indeed not so upright. Although no one dared to say anything in front of them, there were always things behind their backs.

However, he never took these to heart. He always felt that these rumors and rumors were just trivial matters and there was no need to take them to heart at all.

But with the rumors that have become more and more popular recently, Queen Xiao's mood has become increasingly bad.

"Then you go now!"

Empress Xiao glared at Ji Bofu fiercely, then twisted her soft waist and returned to the room.

Ji Bofu shrugged his shoulders and returned to the enshrinement courtyard, picked up the Jiujie Zhan and prepared to go out. Just before leaving the courtyard, he turned to look at the yellow scarf warrior on the platform.

"Forget it, I'd better not bring it with me. It won't be good if it gets damaged!"

The longer the Yellow Turban Warriors are enshrined, the more powerful they can be, or the materials used to refine the Yellow Turban Warriors are particularly good.

And the material of the yellow scarf warrior he refined was only the corpse of the Martial Saint, and it was worshiped to the sky. His combat power was still within the scope of the Martial Saint.

It is better not to take a Martial Saint with you when you go out. If it is damaged, he will have to repair it. It is better to let him enjoy the worship at home.

Since there were still two days left, Ji Bofu did not rush directly to Jiangling. It was quite pleasant for him to travel around and experience the customs and customs of the south.

"Among the colorful clouds of Chaoci Baidi, thousands of miles of Jiangling will be returned in one day."

"The monkeys on both sides of the strait can't stop crying, and the light boat has passed ten thousand mountains."

“What a beautiful place with beautiful mountains, water and water!!”

He has always stayed in the north, and now it is a unique experience to travel all the way south to experience the customs and customs of the south.

Two days passed by in a flash, and he arrived at Jiangling City in the evening of April [-]th.

There is an endless stream of people coming and going in Jiangling City, a large city in Nuozhou. Because Xiao Mian is getting married tomorrow, the people coming and going are all wearing silk and satin. They are either very noble or have cultivation.

Ji Bofu even saw some Taoist priests entering Jiangling City. As soon as he arrived at the city gate, he was stopped by a middle-aged man in Chinese clothes.

"Xiao Ran, I have met Taiping Daozi!!"

Xiao Ran saluted Ji Bofu respectfully.

Ji Bofu said with a smile: "A member of the Xiao family?"

Xiao Ran nodded with a smile on his face and said: "Yes, I am from Nan Qi Fang, and the current head of Nan Qi Fang is my eldest brother!"

When he heard that Xiao Ran was from Nan Qifang, the smile on Ji Bofu's face instantly disappeared without a trace, and he said in a cold voice: "What's the reason for stopping Pindao?"

Xiao Ran was not angry at all because of Ji Bofu's change of expression. He still said respectfully: "Daozi, I have been ordered by Your Majesty to welcome Daozi here. Since the invitation was sent out, I have been waiting at the city gate for Daozi Yuzhi to arrive in person!"

Ji Bofu looked at Xiao Ran who was respectful and didn't have another attack, "Has Xiao Mian arranged a place for poor Tao to live?"

Xiao Ran said respectfully: "Of course there is, I will take you there right now!"

Ji Bofu nodded and followed Xiao Ran. The two of them entered Jiangling City together. Xiao Ran's face was very respectful along the way, while Ji Bofu looked around and looked at the customs and customs in Jiangling City.

The two of them looked at each other in silence along the way, one leading the way with peace of mind, and the other looking at the scenery in Jiangling City. However, many people who came to attend Xiao Mian's wedding along the way were very confused about Ji Bofu.

They didn't know Ji Bofu but they knew Xiao Ran.

Although I don't know the identity of Ji Bofu, the identity of the person who can be led by the second-in-command of the Xiao family in Nanliang is definitely not simple.

Although Ji Bofu rarely appeared in front of the public, some people still knew him, so Ji Bofu's identity was soon known to everyone.

After learning Ji Bofu's identity, many people showed amusement in their eyes.

There is a good show to watch! !

This was the first thought in everyone's mind after knowing Ji Bofu's identity.

Ji Bofu was different from others. It had nothing to do with his cultivation, but only his identity. His identity was too sensitive.

Ji Bofu is not only Xiao Mian's cousin but also the former owner of Xiao Mian's soon-to-be-married wife. Li Xiuning once committed herself to Ji Bofu and willingly became his personal maid in order to save the lives of Li Shimin and Chai Shao.

Everyone knows what it means to be a personal maid.

That's why everyone is so interested. The wife they are about to marry was once their cousin's uncle's personal maid. They really want to interview Xiao Xian about how he feels now.

After all, not everyone has the same courage as Xiao Mian to put on a green hat by himself.

"Let's look at tomorrow, tomorrow will be truly exciting!"

A good person can't bear the desire to talk in his heart, so soon the news that Ji Bofu came to attend Xiao Mian's wedding spread among the guests who will attend the wedding tomorrow.

Ji Bofu didn't know about this yet, so he followed Xiao Ran all the way to a splendid courtyard next to the palace.

Xiao Ran said respectfully: "Daozi, this is the courtyard where you rest. If you have anything to do, you can tell the servants, and they will try their best to meet all Daozi's needs!"

Ji Bofu looked at the yard and nodded, then his eyes fell on Xiao Ran, "You hesitated to speak along the way. What do you want to ask?"

Xiao Ran gritted his teeth and asked: "I dare to ask, will the empress come to attend your majesty's wedding tomorrow?"

Ji Bofu's eyes narrowed and he said quietly: "Now there is no empress in the world, you should call her Your Majesty!"

A layer of cold sweat broke out on Xiao Ran's forehead, "Daozi, may I ask if His Majesty Zhou will come to attend His Majesty's wedding tomorrow?"

Ji Bofu showed a smile on his face, patted Xiao Ran's shoulder gently and said, "Why are you so nervous? I won't eat you."

"Now you can go back and resume your life. Just as Pindao said, the Emperor of Zhou Dynasty will not come to attend Xiao Mian's wedding tomorrow."

"Don't worry, although your Nan Qi Fang chose Xiao Mian, Da Zhou will not interfere with it at this juncture. Pindao will not do this, Nan Liang Fang will not do this, Da Zhou will not do this, and the Emperor of Da Zhou will not do this." I won’t even do this!!”

"Although the Qiliangfang family is divided, two Xiaos cannot be written in one sentence. Go back and tell Xiao Mian to let him get married in peace tomorrow!"

After talking, Ji Bofu ignored Xiao Ran and walked directly into the courtyard.

Xiao Ran stopped there for a long time before turning around and heading towards the palace.

After Ji Bofu walked into the yard and found his bedroom, he began to meditate and practice Qi. As the sun set, when the last ray of light disappeared, there was a knock on his door.

Ji Bofu felt the familiar energy outside the courtyard and walked out of the bedroom. He opened the courtyard door with a wave of his hand and let the visitor in.

As soon as Li Jiancheng walked in, he smiled and said, "Long time no see, Mr. Xiaodao!"

Ji Bofu was sitting on a chair in the small courtyard and looked up at Li Shentong who was following Li Jiancheng: "It seems that Pindao's guess was not wrong. You really brought Li Shentong with you on this trip."

Li Jiancheng's eyes narrowed and he said in a deep voice: "Ji Bofu, what do you mean?"

Ji Bofu smiled and said: "It's not interesting. When Pindao came, he sent a few Yang gods to Chang'an to chat with your father and ask him how he feels about having an emperor's son-in-law soon."

Li Shentong's expression changed and he disappeared instantly.

Li Jiancheng's face was as cold as ice and he said: "Ji Bofu, if you dare to send people to Chang'an, aren't you afraid that someone will send people to Zhuojun in the future?"

Ji Bofu raised his eyebrows and said, "Come to Zhuo County? What are you doing here? Are you looking for death?"

Li Jiancheng's breath was stagnant, and he took a deep look at Ji Bofu and was about to walk out. As soon as he turned around, a huge Qi machine pressed on his body, making all the bones in his body creak.

hold head high! !

An angry roar came from the sky. Ji Bofu looked up and saw a slightly unreal five-clawed golden dragon roaring at him, as if it was about to kill him in the next moment.

Li Jiancheng frowned and turned around and said angrily: "Ji Bofu, is it possible that you want to keep me as the crown prince?"

Ji Bofu turned the nine-section war sword gently in his hand, and a yellow halo shone on his body. The energy that enveloped Li Jiancheng dissipated. At the same time, the lock on him from the golden dragon of luck in the sky also dissipated.

He chuckled and said: "Li Jiancheng, you really can't take a joke. You really believe it when Pindao said he sent a few Yang gods to Chang'an to find your father. Pindao is just trying to scare you. Why are you so careless?" "

Li Jiancheng's face was as dark as water: "This joke is not funny at all!!"

Ji Bofu pointed at Li Jiancheng and said, "Who made you disgusted with Pindao? Could it be that you came to Pindao this time to ridicule Pindao?"

"Besides, don't say that Pindao didn't send Yang Shen to Chang'an. Even if Pindao did send Yang Shen to Chang'an to find your father, you should be happy. That shameless Li Yuan can still live for another three to forty years, and You are still young."

"Think about it, if Pindao doesn't kill him, will you still need to be the prince for another three to forty years?"

"You recruited most of Li Tang's talents. Are you so willing to let a bad old man dominate you and enjoy the country you worked so hard to build?"

"Think about it, you are the prince now, but if one day Li Yuan thinks that your achievements are so great that he will depose you?"

Ji Bofu looked at Li Jiancheng, who had a gloomy expression, smiled and threw the final bomb.

"Is there a 40-year-old prince in the world?"
