Joy of Life: I, a man, became the Queen of Northern Qi?

Chapter 122 Looking at the Green Mountains!
In mid-to-late October, in the Northeast Icefield, the grass and trees at the foot of Daqing Mountain were still lush and green, unlike some trees in other areas that had begun to wither and decay. Birds and animals heard the sound of the convoy from afar, and were frightened and fled in panic, disappearing without a trace after a while.

A convoy of six carriages slowly approached and stopped at the bottom of the mountain, waiting for the owner's order.

Up ahead, four distinct groups of people had been waiting for a long time, welcoming the distinguished guests here - the four were divided into two teams, two were disciples of the Tianyi Sect, and the other two were messengers of the Jinyiwei.

The curtain of the carriage was lifted, revealing a white and transparent face. The visitor smiled brightly, looked around for a moment, took a deep breath and said, "So this is the place where Master Ku He practiced, Daqing Mountain!"

This person was naturally Li An. After more than half a month of boring time, the convoy finally arrived at the foot of the green mountain. From then on, cars could not be used on the road and they could only walk.

Waving his hand to refuse the soldiers who were carrying the sedan chair, Li An looked around the pleasant green mountain in front of him. The mountain was of average height and looked ordinary, but because it was in the north, the temperature was very low. Although it was October, the top of the mountain was already white.

The green mountains are ordinary, but in the eyes of the people of Northern Qi, they are no longer ordinary because of one person.

Gazing at the black buildings on the top of the mountain, feeling the abundant vitality of heaven and earth floating in the air, Li An couldn't help but guess in his heart - perhaps, this place had been hit by a few nuclear bombs before.

Otherwise, it would be hard to explain the origin of this rich vitality.

"Greetings to Her Majesty the Virtuous Consort!"

"Master, are you back in the mountains?"

Two Tianyi disciples came forward. Their naive smiles hid a cultivation level of about rank five. There was no unnecessary complexity in their eyes. Such people can always make others relax and have a good impression of them.

Haitang Duoduo greeted with a smile, jumped off the carriage, then turned around and helped Li Ang get off the carriage.

After landing on the ground, Li An nodded to the two disciples and walked towards the other two who saluted: "Tell me, what's the news?"

"Miss."

One of the Jinyiwei lowered his head, handed a wooden box to Xu Chu with both hands, then clasped his fists in salute and took two steps back holding the hilt of his knife.

After Xu Chu opened the wooden box and looked at it, his eyes changed and he whispered in Li An's ear: "Madam, this is the head of Prince Gong Zhan Gaohong!"

"Heh, Yu Huatian is quite skillful."

Li An waved his hand slightly, with a teasing tone in his mouth, and said in high spirits: "Go, deliver the things to Ruan Yu, ask him to take a good look at it and write a review. Um. The number of words must not be less than one thousand!"

Xu Chu grinned, responded with an "understood" and walked towards the back of the convoy carrying the wooden box.

Haitang Duoduo sighed helplessly, looking like a worried peasant woman, and said, "Sister An'er, let's go climbing."

"No hurry, no hurry."

Li An was in casual clothes at this time. He first told everyone to set up camp and make a fire to cook. After dinner, it was almost noon. He raised his neck and waved his hand, saying loudly: "Let's climb the mountain!"

The guards scattered on both sides and no longer headed up. The only climbers were Li An, Haitang Duoduo, Xu Chu and the distraught Ruan Yu.

The people were walking at a moderate pace. What was strange was that there were many people dressed like ordinary people and wealthy businessmen walking up the stone steps. Li An turned his head to look at Haitang Duoduo and asked curiously, "Who is this?"

"The Qingshan Mountain where the Tianyi Sect is located was built under the supervision of the master. There are many 'divine patterns' in it that the master copied from memory! Although there are Qing temples in various places in Nanqing, the most famous ones are the temple on Xuankong Mountain and the Kuxing Temple on Dadong Mountain. The former is located in the suburbs of Kyoto and is the place where Emperor Qing enjoys flowers; the latter is in Danzhou. Due to the altitude of Dadong Mountain, it is known as the place closest to the temple in the world!"

After explaining it as if it had nothing to do with the topic, Haitang Duoduo showed a complacent look on her face and said, "And the most famous Qi temple in my Great Qi is Qingshan! In my opinion, we are the orthodox ones. After all, my master is the one who has actually been to the temple." At the end, she lowered her voice to make sure that the two people who were a little further away from her could not hear her.

"So, there are often people who come here from far away with the intention of making a pilgrimage. Of course, the master does not refuse outsiders to come. His residence is on the top of the mountain, which is difficult for ordinary people to see."

"I see."

These people might have climbed the mountain before dawn and returned at this time. However, there are soldiers guarding the foot of the mountain, so some misunderstandings might arise.

"Isn't the Imperial Master worried that there are spies among the common people and wealthy businessmen? After all, the whereabouts of the Grand Master are always worrying."

Hearing this, Haitang Duoduo's smile became brighter. She responded confidently, "In the beginning, there were indeed some people who went up the mountain to get information. However, after more people lost their lives, few people did so anymore. The master has a sharp eye, and no one can hide anything from him!"

No one can hide it from him.
This sentence made Li An's heart sink.
The smiles on their faces faded slightly, and the four of them quickened their pace up the mountain.

'Tianyi Dao!'

On the stone platform on the peak, in front of a memorial archway, several Tianyi disciples slowly knelt down and shouted "Greetings to the Empress Defei". After this simple greeting, they just went about their own business and no longer paid any extra attention to Li An.

Hey, Tianyi Dao. A little bit evil!
After entering the building complex and heading straight to the core area, within a short while, a middle-aged man came to greet him.

"How are you these days, Second Brother?"

The two men are named Mu Peng, and they are Ku He's second disciples. Now Ku He is concentrating on practicing in the mountain, while Lang Tao and Hai Tang Duo Duo have gone to the court to work. He is actually the one in charge here.

"Hello, Madam Defei. Master has been waiting for a long time."

Mu Peng raised his arm to show his invitation, then he smiled and saluted Haitang, "Hello, Junior Sister."

There is no need to say much about this man's strength. It is estimated that two Ruan Yus are enough for him. He looks to be about 40 years old, and there is a fierceness on his face from time to time. It is only because of the special status of Concubine De and the close relationship between him and his junior sister that he forces out a very strange and gentle expression. Not only does he not make people feel that he is kind, but he makes him look even more ferocious!

"Thank you, Master Mu Peng." Li An responded with a smile. Since it was the great master who invited him, he would not be annoyed by his hasty behavior. This was also the reason why he had to eat at the foot of the mountain before going up the mountain.

Mu Peng glanced at Ruan Yu and Xu Chu, and seeing that they were holding many things in their hands, he gave up the idea of ​​letting the two stay where they were and led the way forward.

All the way up, the road is built following the terrain of the mountain.

When they arrived in front of a small palace, Mu Peng looked at Li An in surprise. They were coming here quite fast, and an ordinary weak woman could not keep up. It turned out that Concubine De also had some cultivation skills?

"Please wait a moment, Madam."

"Master Mu Peng can go by himself."

After the two of them finished talking, Mu Peng opened the wooden door and walked into the hall first.

Looking at the dark and simple building in front of him, inside which is one of the strongest men in the world, Li An said in his heart: Ku He, the patron saint of Da Qi, let him, Li An, come and see
What style is it?
