Traveling the Heavens in Thunderbolt

Chapter 1029 Key (More chapters if more than monthly tickets are cast)

The contest between King Yan and Huang Sanjia continues.

Huang Longshi said: "You are sure that with Xu Fengnian's character, he will not give up just like that. Once the war starts, just wait for Xu Fengnian and Zhao Kai to fight to a loss. Xu Chenzhibao, who has been waiting for a long time, will take action and take down both sides in one fell swoop. You can use Chen Zhibao's hand to get rid of Xu Fengnian and Xu Weixiong. Once they die, no one else can inherit the throne of Beiliang except you. You only need to get rid of Chen Zhibao, and there will be no obstacles on the way to the throne of Beiliang. Even if the King of Beiliang has doubts, he will have to admit that you are the only suitable candidate. And Xu Longxiang, a fellow brother born in the Vajra Realm, will become your left and right arm. With 300,000 cavalry in hand, plus the elite soldiers and generals of the Beiliang army. Go south to Bashu, take the Western Regions in the west, and divide the world into three parts with Liyang and Beimang. Chen Zhibao wants to reap the benefits, but he doesn't know that the mantis stalks the cicada, and the oriole is behind."

King Yan said frankly: "Now that you know, you won't let the plan succeed so easily."

Huang Longshi said, "Yes, there are He Yan's 2,000 elite cavalrymen at Jianmen Pass. Unless Chen Zhibao wants to be like the sword god. He can see through my situation and use it to complete his own situation. Xu Tianjiao, you are the first one, which is really courageous. You did make me change my original plan. Originally, Cao Changqing did not repay the favor as agreed, and the losers would only be Xu Fengnian and Zhao Kai. Chen Zhibao would win everything. But because of your appearance, I had to temporarily protect Xu Fengnian. Let Chen Zhibao enter Shu and be the king of Shu. In a short period of time, maintain a situation of neither losing nor winning. As long as Xu Xiao dies of old age, Chen Zhibao can still get part of the Northern Liang Army. But before that, you still have a chance."

The plan failed, but King Yan's face remained calm, and he said in a low and calm voice, "I can't kill Xu Fengnian, one of the three great demons of the Spring and Autumn Period, and the third of the thirteen. Huang Longshi, it turns out that he is not in vain. I did fail, so I have to admit defeat."

Huang Longshi stroked his beard and smiled, "At your age, you are able to fight with me to this extent. You should be proud of yourself. I accept the compliment. But
Your eyes don’t show you admitting defeat.”

King Yan did not stop there, "It is not difficult to admit failure. As the saying goes, if you lose something in one place, you may gain something in another."

Huang Longshi smiled and said, "Indeed, through failure one can recognize one's mistakes, make improvements, and make progress. This is a process that everyone must go through. At this point, I have begun to consider whether to get rid of you. If I allow you to grow, I am afraid that in the future you will be even more terrifying than Li Yishan and Yuan Benxi."

"I admit that I failed in killing Xu Fengnian. Because failure is the mother of success. Only with a failed beginning can there be the first step to success." King Yan asked Huang Longshi: "Huang Longshi, Huang Sanjia, my goal is to kill Xu Fengnian, what is your goal?"

Huang Longshi said, "You want to know?"

King Yan seemed to recall: "In the past, during the Spring and Autumn War, you, Huang Longshi, used your clever words to make the kings and generals of various countries infatuated. You took advantage of the situation and let Li Yang end the Spring and Autumn War. What is the purpose behind this?"

Huang Longshi seemed to have not seen a younger generation he admired for a long time, and said to King Yan: "If I say that this is for the common people of the world, for the sake of peace and tranquility, do you believe me?"

But the words of King Yan shocked Huang Longshi, "Faith, of course it is faith. Move the energy of the world into the martial arts world. The martial arts world now seems to be full of talents, but it is just a case of pulling up seedlings to help them grow and drying up the pond to catch fish."

Huang Longshi didn't expect that someone would see through his plan. "How did you know?"

King Yan was standing on a high place, overlooking the scenery of Jiange, and said: "The current Liyang Dynasty is promoting the imperial examination and will become more and more prosperous. The martial arts world will no longer be as prosperous as it is now because of the exhaustion of luck. The story of one man forming an army will eventually become a legend. The people of this world will have peace. However..."

At this point, King Yan changed the subject and said, "I really don't like this kind of world."

Huang Longshi felt something was wrong. "What did you do?"

He is no longer as calm and composed as before.

"Like you, I met someone before I came here." King Yan did not hide anything and asked, "Have you ever thought about why Cao Changqing did not come to fulfill his promise?"

"Oh no! No!" Realizing that something was wrong, Huang Longshi wanted to leave. "You won this game. I underestimated you. Please."

"Mr. Huang." King Yan blocked Huang Longshi's way. "Are you trying to stop me from leaving?" After saying that, Huang Longshi tried to take action and leave by force.

King Yan said to Huang Longshi: "One question, I can answer you one question. What is my purpose? With the Imperial Observatory, maybe they can hold out until reinforcements arrive. And this answer must be the key."

Huang Longshi replied without hesitation: "Your words, coming from your mouth, can be interpreted in different ways. It is completely meaningless."

After saying this, Huang Longshi left the mountain without any reluctance.

King Yan continued to ask Huang Longshi: "Yuan Benxi, Han Diao Si, Yang Taisui, and Master Liu Hao, what do these four people have in common? Huang Longshi, what have you overlooked?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Huang Longshi, who was about to leave, suddenly stopped.

Then, leave at a faster speed.

Back in time on the grassland, King Yan who entered Beimang blocked the way of Cao Changqing and Jiang Ni.

"You are... the third young master." Jiang Ni hesitated for a while and recognized Xu Tianjiao, who seemed to have been reborn.

Cao Changqing asked: "You are the third son of the Beiliang Palace, why are you blocking my way?"

King Yan said coldly: "I am waiting for you here on purpose."

Cao Changqing said calmly: "You saw it."

"Cao Changqing, you are the only one who has mastered the celestial phenomena and the eight divisions of elegance. Ha~" Although his tone was cold, the disdain in it could be clearly felt.

Facing the provocation of King Yan, Cao Changqing said calmly: "Since you are Xu Fengnian's younger brother, I won't bother you for his sake. If you want to see me, just tell me your purpose."

King Yan said: "Even now, you still don't understand the situation. It really insults your title of being the only one who possesses eight-tenths of the talents of Western Chu."

Cao Changqing was very magnanimous. "If you want to irritate me, then this meeting is meaningless."

King Yan asked back, "Is it necessary to irritate you? I am now thinking about how to explain the situation to you in a language you can understand."

At the first sight of them, Cao Changqing knew that what Xu Xiao said was true, which was why he had not left until now. "What is the situation in the world? How much can you say about it?"

King Yan said: "During your trip to Beimang, you wanted to help the little princess behind you restore the country of Western Chu. This approach is too slow. It's too late to restore the country, too late to take over Jiangnan. In the end, your ideal will only be empty talk."
