When only Li Tiancheng and Li Gang were left, Li Tiancheng's face became serious.

"Marshal, do you know why I sent He'er to the wild land of Western Xinjiang this time?"

Li Gang shook his head and said: "I am also a little puzzled by the emperor's move. As far as I know, the elders of Tianxuanzong did not say anything about going to the western border. This matter should be decided by you, the emperor."

"Yes, this matter is indeed decided by myself, and Tianxuanzong did not give me any hint, but although Tianxuanzong didn't give any hint, another person gave me a hint."

Li Gang's expression changed, and he said: "Who else? Who else can make the emperor make such a big decision with a single sentence...could it be..."

A helpless expression appeared on Li Tiancheng's face, and he said: "That's right, my godmother asked me to do this. Although she didn't say it clearly, the meaning is very clear. New spirit stone veins are imminent.”

Li Gang said: "Why did the godmother suddenly intervene in these affairs? Didn't her old man have been retreating and cultivating in the back mountain of Tianxuanzong? The sect's affairs are under the jurisdiction of the suzerain and several elders, and the godmother rarely touches on mundane matters. "

Li Tiancheng said: "The godmother has already gone out of the mountain. Perhaps it is because the supply of high-grade spirit stones for the godmother's body is getting less and less, which makes the godmother come out of the mountain early. And I just got the news that the godmother has sent his personal maid. It's Tang Dynasty, maybe it will come soon, the last time the maid came, she just had a quick meeting with me, conveyed the meaning of the godmother, and then left in a hurry, I thought it over, and then decided to send He'er to the West Take a trip to the wilderness."

Li Gang's expression sank. He had never heard what the emperor Li Tiancheng said just now, and he had no knowledge of the fact that his godmother had left the mountain. Based on his relationship with the several elders of Tianxuanzong, Tianxuanzong had any orders. I definitely knew about it earlier than the emperor Li Tiancheng, but he didn't know about it at all. The only reason was that the godmother didn't inform the suzerain and several elders of Tianxuanzong about this matter, but asked Li Tiancheng in private. do it.

The so-called godmother, in Li Gang's heart, is an extremely powerful and mysterious existence. It is said that this godmother is over a thousand years old. The tallest one, none of the other elders of Tianxuanzong can break through the bottleneck of "immortality". I'm afraid it's only half a step away.

The status of the godmother in Tianxuanzong is supreme, no matter her seniority or her cultivation strength, it is incomparable to the current Tianxuanzong suzerain and several elders. It can be said that once this godmother comes out, the entire Tianxuanzong will be She calls the shots.

While Li Gang and Li Tiancheng were talking, they suddenly felt that the air around them sank, and a woman appeared in front of them without warning, as if appearing out of thin air.

Seeing this woman, Li Tiancheng and Li Gang hurriedly bowed down to salute, and said in unison: "Hello, maidservant."

"Don't be too polite, get up."

The maid who suddenly appeared here walked towards them slowly. It seemed that she was walking very slowly, but in fact she was moving very fast. The two of them couldn't see her moving. Her feet were covered by a thick robe, which made people It looked even more weird.

The maid stood in front of Li Tiancheng and Li Gang, and said: "I heard that the emperor's son's birthday is approaching, and the godmother also asked me to bring a gift to the emperor, a Chuansheng Pill, which can increase the life span of 30 years after taking it. .”

The maid's face was expressionless when she spoke, and her tone was very cold, giving people a very mechanical feeling.She took out a pill from her robe and threw it at Li Tiancheng.

Li Tiancheng caught it, and bent down again to thank him. He looked calm on his face, but he was overjoyed in his heart. He had already heard the name of Chuansheng Pill, and it was one of the treasures of the entire Tianxuan Sect. There is only one person who refines the Chuansheng Pill, and that is the mysterious godmother. Every 30 years, the godmother will distribute the Chuansheng Pill to the suzerain and several elders in the sect. I am lucky to get a 30-year-old Pill. The Chuansheng Pill, it can be said that he has had great luck.

It can also be seen from this that the godmother is very concerned about sending troops to the western Xinjiang wilderness to explore the spirit stone mines, and there is no room for any mistakes in this matter.

Marshal Li Gang next to him looked at the Chuansheng Pill in Li Tiancheng's hand, his eyes flickered, and he couldn't help swallowing, but he didn't dare to show any envy in front of the maid.

The maid still said in a cold voice: "Godmother asked me to pass on a message to you. There has been a sudden change in Tianyuan Xijiang. Afterwards, the news will inevitably spread to the Central Plains. At that time, all the factions in the Central Plains will swarm the western border, seize the territory of Daguangming Temple, and seize the spirit stone veins of Daguangming Temple. If others are destroyed, then the most precious things will naturally be taken away by the other party. What the godmother is interested in is only the spirit stone mines in Xijiang. Without the barrier of Daguangming Temple, you will lose your biggest treasure when you go to Xijiang. It is not easy to delay this matter, after the Prince's celebration, we will leave immediately, understand?"

Li Tiancheng nodded in agreement, his heart was already turbulent.

Not only him, but Marshal Li Gang next to him also changed his expression completely.

In their hearts, Da Guangming Temple is the largest sect in the entire Tianyuan world. Sha Tianhe, the abbot of Da Guangming Temple, is comparable in strength and cultivation to the master behind the scenes of Tianxuan Sect, that is, the godmother. Guangming Temple, such a powerful abbot of Daguangming Temple, was supposed to be wiped out, how terrible and powerful was the person who killed him?

In this world, there are actually people or mysterious sects that are much more powerful than Sha Tianhe and that godmother. This is what makes Li Tiancheng and Li Gang feel shocked and unbelievable.

However, although the shock is shocking, the grievances and grievances between these upper-level figures of cultivation have nothing to do with mortals like them. What they have to do well is to complete their assignments and orders by relying on the big tree of Tianxuanzong, so that their respective families can Live and survive.

After the maid explained these words, she disappeared in an instant, walking very simply.

Li Tiancheng and Li Gang looked at each other, and both sighed.

After that, Li Tiancheng and Li Gang walked side by side towards the crowd at the other end of the hall. Maybe there were some subtle fights between them before, but in the matter of prospecting in Western Xinjiang, they need to cooperate and cooperate with each other. The reason why Li Gang's daughter, Princess Ana, suddenly returned to Chang'an at this time is that Li Gang, who controls most of the military power, could miss it knowing that there is a good soup, and the emperor Li Tiancheng, even though his godmother assigned him to complete this task alone. However, the western frontier is full of dangers, without the support of Li Gang's army and the main force of the army, this matter will not be possible in the end.

At this time, a dull bell sounded somewhere in the imperial city—15 minutes of continuous bell ringing, informing people to gather in the arena.

"Marshal, in the arena later, you can pick out some warriors by the way, and go to the western border, these warriors may be of great use.".

Li Gang smiled and said: "Of course, but this matter should be left to His Highness the Crown Prince. His Highness the Crown Prince has extraordinary martial arts skills. He will go to the arena in person today, so he will naturally be able to pick out brave warriors."

The two walked while talking, and soon arrived at the entrance of the arena. When the officials and nobles saw the emperor and the marshal coming, they made way quietly and followed behind them obediently.

Outside the arena, rows of luxury carriages were lined up, and pennants fluttered in the breeze.The flag bears the emblem of each noble family.The cars lead to different stands in an orderly manner. From a high altitude, these stands are staggered and shaped like the spines of giant creatures.

The competitive fighting that belongs to the Zhengtang Empire and the favorite entertainment of the Zhengtang nobles is about to start here.

As for Emperor Li Tiancheng and Marshal Li Gang, the task assigned by their godmother to the western border was far more worrying than this lively gladiatorial competition... (To be continued.)
