Chapter 111: Po Jun, Yao Guang; Secret Talk with Xue Lao

Hearing the voices of the palace guards outside, Po Jun's eyes flashed with a sharpness, and he said: "Time is running out, let's make it short. After the grand sacrifice, my lord, you must leave the State of Chen immediately. The Emperor of Chen appears to be kind and righteous on the outside, but he is mean and suspicious on the inside."

"The High Priest has many powers at the moment. He wants to maintain his image as a benevolent emperor, so he won't pursue many things. Once things are over, he will definitely think about these things again, and you will be in some danger."

Li Guanyi said: "I was planning to leave here."

"I'm going to the 18th state of Jiangnan."

Pojun said: "Well, I'm afraid I can't go with you then."

Po Jun took a fire stick and burned the silk map. The fire reflected in his eyes, and the young man's eyes burned: "You go to Jiangnan Road, but you can't stay there for long. Although the Jiangnan family is safe, Murong Longtu is domineering and arbitrary. He will only protect you as a child of a noble family."

"The Western Regions beyond the Great Wall are where heroes spread their wings."

Li Guanyi said: "Where are you going, sir?"

"I?"

Po Jun grinned and said, "I just said that every country has its shortcomings."

"Ying State has strong soldiers and horses, a famous king in the country, and three great generals, among whom there are countless names that can be ranked in the top 100 of the list of generals. The Central Plains is strong, the court is frugal, and it is in harmony with the people. It has a strong and heroic spirit. The only problem is that the emperor is already very old."

"No matter how heroic you are, you can never defeat the passage of time."

"Time could not exhaust the heroic spirit in his heart, and what was even more regrettable was that he had two sons, both of whom were equally outstanding. One was a benevolent king who was taught to rule the country with kindness, and the other was a rebellious hero who was prepared to be prepared in case the world was not pacified."

"And the best part is that we have eliminated the world's number one general, the current Grand Master of Ying State."

"The remaining two top five generals each chose a prince."

"Yuwen Lie is under the command of the Crown Prince, and the other man, He Ruoqinhu, is from the Second Prince's lineage."

"This is the drawback of Ying State. I congratulate you today—"

Po Jun cupped his hands and said softly:
"After the grand ceremony, I will follow the seven Turkic kings into Ying State. This time, I will split the grassland into two veins, east and west, and lead Ying State to a turmoil over the succession. This will cause the Western Region to collapse, the Turkic people to split, and Ying State to be in civil strife."

"This life should prove that the Pojun faction is still the strongest among all the counselors and strategists in the world."

He raised his eyes, still as fiery as fire.

This is the true strategy of Pojun. Entering the game alone is the first blade to tear apart this chaotic world.

Eight hundred years ago, that generation of Po Jun entered the city alone with the overlord, bringing only eight people.

Ten people, one hour, killed the city lord and captured the city.

Then the overlord had his first city to gain a foothold.

Li Guanyi: "...Be careful."

Po Jun said: "When the world is in turmoil, it is an opportunity for heroes to rise. If you stick to the rules in troubled times, you will be harmed by villains using the rules just like the regent and your father. Wait until the world is in turmoil and the wind and clouds are surging."

"That is your chance to rise from the ground and conquer the world, my lord."

"The wind comes from the tiger, and the clouds come from the dragon."

"You once said that icing on the cake is as good as helping someone in need."

The handsome young man smiled, his eyes narrow and long, like a blade drawn from its sheath: "I wonder if this is the icing on the cake, or a timely help?"

He brushed his sleeves, smelled the scent of blood and fire in the air, then turned and walked out.

He turned his back to Li Guanyi and said, "The tiger needs the wind to tear through the fog ahead, and the wind also hopes to accompany the tiger to witness a broader future."

"Let me personally uncover a corner of this chaotic world!"

"Then I'll let you step into the world."

"I just don't know how people in the future will record me."

"The treacherous minister who stirs up troubled times, or the ruthless strategist in his heart." He looked up at the sky, then sneered: "Who cares?"

Pojun strode out, and a slightly nervous but calm look immediately appeared on his face. He walked in quickly and said, "Your Highness the Seventh Prince." At this time, the Seventh Prince was drinking and feasting here with the Crown Prince of Ying State.

Although Yuwen Lie had just fought a fierce battle with the Turks.

However, the five kings who were defeated by Yuwen Lie also wanted to occupy the land occupied by the seven kings.

At this moment, both parties were guests of honor of the State of Chen, toasting each other and drinking happily. Although there were strong liquors on the grassland, that kind of liquor was different from the liquor in the Central Plains. The good wines in the Central Plains were often soft in the mouth and only tasted sweet. When they felt something was wrong and wanted to take a breath of fresh air, they would be drunk and unconscious.

That's the one that falls against the wind.

The banquet was over, and since reeking of alcohol was not a good way to entertain guests, the Crown Prince of Ying went to change his clothes.

The Seventh Prince was very drunk, but when he saw Po Jun coming quickly, he was puzzled and raised his glass to laugh: "Sir, didn't you go for a drive? How come you're back so soon? Hahaha, you still want to drink a few more glasses!"

"Come on, come on, I'll fill it up sir."

"Drink this cup to the full."

Po Jun leaned forward and asked, "Did the Seventh King hear what happened just now?"

The Seventh Prince said drunkenly, "What's going on? It seems like there's a dragon roaring. This is the royal family of the Chen Kingdom. If we come out, the Emperor Chen might not be able to hold on. What did you get, sir?"

Even though he was drunk and his brain was dull, the Seventh King was still sharp.

Po Jun said: "Someone just broke into the palace."

A sharp look flashed in the Seventh Prince's eyes, his internal energy rose, and the alcohol instantly dissipated. He placed his right hand on the scimitar and asked, "Who?"

Po Jun said: "Cross the thousand peaks."

Qi Wangdao: "The most famous general in Chen State in infantry combat."

He asked, "Is it for Yue Pengwu?"

"Sir, did you encounter that murderer? Were you injured?"

Po Jun recounted what had just happened and said:
"He was chased by the Imperial Guards, but he escaped unharmed. It was also a coincidence that I was driving His Highness's carriage at that time. Yue Qianfeng was probably unsure if there were any experts in the carriage who could hold him back, so he didn't plan to cause any trouble. He just threw the Jinwu Guards in his hand at me to delay me, and then left."

The Seventh Prince said, "Sir, you came here specifically to tell me, could it be that the status of this Jinwu Guard is extraordinary?"

"However, speaking of it, the Jinwu Guards of the Chen Kingdom are only held by high-ranking officials. Is this a nobleman from some family?"

Po Jun replied: "Xue family, Li Guanyi."

The Seventh Prince's eyes lit up slightly, he put down his hand and said, "Is it the one we met before, one of the three greatest merchants in the world, and the most outstanding one among the Xue family's children?" He was not a mediocre master. After Po Jun said this, he stopped talking.

Too much talk leads to mistakes, but the Seventh King immediately realized that this was an opportunity.

"It's an opportunity to build a good relationship with the Xue family."

"We want to build our own tents on the grassland, but my father will definitely not agree. They will block our business and not allow the roaming merchants on the grassland to come here to buy furs. If we can make friends with the big merchants in the Central Plains, there will be another way."

"Father and the others can't hold me back."

"Hahaha, sir, you are really my lucky star."

The Seventh Prince stretched out his arms, hugged the young man next to him, and laughed.

Po Jun said: "So, Seventh Prince, you..."

The Seventh Prince drank several glasses of wine, raised his eyebrows, and said:
"No matter what the consequences are, I don't care what Emperor Chen will do after the grand sacrifice. This favor from the Xue family must be fulfilled. It was a brave Jinwu Guard who was rescued by my Turkic warriors and brought back for protection."

"Highlighting our contributions will make it easier to negotiate with the Xue family."

Po Jun smiled in his heart and said:

"If that's the case, we need to open up a trade route in the Western Regions."

The Seven Turkic Kings said: "It should be so!"

Po Jun took advantage of the situation to complete this step and made the Western Regions even more chaotic. Once the trade route between the Seven Kings and the Xue family was opened, it meant that even if Li Guanyi fell into the Western Regions, he could still get support and supplies from the Xue family Chamber of Commerce in a legitimate way.

The seven kings also benefited from all this and pushed the situation forward.

The Seventh Prince strode out, opened his carriage, and smelled a strong smell of blood. Li Guanyi had already impacted his own energy channels, causing his meridians to appear in a state of fainting, which was actually like a nap. He could wake up when something happened.

The Seventh Prince was trained in fighting on the battlefield. When he saw the young man's broken armor and the blood on it, he couldn't help but look solemn and said, "Such traces must have been through a bloody battle."

"I originally thought that the children of a great family like the Xue family would not be so brave, but it seems that I was wrong." "The water grass in the south of the Yangtze River can also breed such heroes."

He respected the warrior, put down his scimitar, personally carried the young man out and brought him into the house, then called a traveling doctor from the Turkic steppe to treat him, and at the same time sent his guards to communicate with the Chen Kingdom's palace guards.

There is evidence from all sides for the incident of [the seven Turkic kings scared away Yue Qianfeng and saved Li Guanyi from the Xue family], and it can stand up to scrutiny.

Yue Qianfeng is extremely powerful. If he enters the palace and breaks into those forbidden areas.

In other words, if you don't know how to adapt and just fight to the death, you will die in the palace.

However, if such a master wants to leave, ordinary guards will find it difficult to stop him. Only top masters can chase him. The most terrible thing is that at this moment, there are too many nobles from various countries near the Chen Palace. These royal masters will never leave the palace at this time.

If this was a strategy to lure the tiger away from the mountain, and the real target was the bigwigs of various countries, such as the prince of Ying State and the seven kings of the Turks, then even if they killed Yue Qianfeng, they would not be able to atone for their sins when they returned.

"This stinky soldier is really a thief!"

Chen Chengbi, a master from the royal family of the Chen State, could only watch with hatred as Yue Qianfeng, who had been hit again, fled away with a big laugh. Then he suppressed his anger and returned to the palace. He heard the news, found Li Guanyi, and hurried over.

When he arrived here, he saw the seven Turkic kings sitting there with their golden swords. The grassland itinerant doctor and the royal physician of the State of Chen had all arrived here. The general of the Jinwu Guard also came and was asking Li Guanyi about the situation. Li Guanyi did not tell the whole story, but just said that he had discovered something strange in the Qilin Palace.

The Jinwu Guard general asked, "Have you ever entered the Qilin Palace?"

The White Tiger Dharma responds to stimulation and moves.

Li Guanyi sensed a hint of murderous intent and replied, "No."

"I was not strong enough, so I planned to report to my superiors and resolve the matter, but I ran into the traitor Yue Qianfeng who attacked his comrades. Ye Buyi can testify to this."

Hearing this, General Jinwuwei felt relieved and continued to comfort the young man.

Seeing Chen Chengbi coming, he bowed and said, "Greetings, Third Uncle."

The general of the Jinwu Guard was of royal origin, and in terms of seniority, he was the younger brother of the current emperor. Chen Chengbi waved his hand and replied, "Let's not be too rigid about etiquette here."

"I came to see how this young man is doing."

The old man appeared next to Li Guanyi and reached out to press Li Guanyi's wrist.

An overwhelming breath surged into Li Guanyi's body, and then Chen Chengbi's face changed slightly. He felt that a breath as hot as fire was lurking in Li Guanyi's internal organs, directly crushing the power he input, and even counterattacking.

Chen Chengbi said: "Red Dragon Fire Power."

He sighed and said, "Yue Qianfeng, you have no good intentions."

"He probably hates you deeply. If this red dragon fire energy falls into your body, it will explode at any time, injuring your lungs and burning your blood."

The old man had a complicated expression. He was a pure warrior, born into the royal family, but because of his distant bloodline, he only practiced martial arts. He felt sorry for the young man's future and muttered, "Burning the bloodline and dying of blood is a small matter."

"I'm afraid this red dragon energy will be a big obstacle to your practice."

"It's possible that he will stop at the second floor for the rest of his life, until one day the Red Dragon's power explodes and his blood runs dry and he dies. What a pity, what a pity."

Li Guanyi replied:
"Loyalty to the emperor and the country is what we should do!"

"Nothing to regret."

This statement is said with great righteousness.

Chen Chengbi sighed, the seven princes glanced at him sideways, and the general of the Jinwu Guard also nodded slightly, with a look of great tolerance on his face and body. They had not expected that among the foreign relatives, there would be such a loyal and talented person.

Only Pojun dropped his fingers and pinched his thigh.

Use the pain to stop your smile.

As a great strategist, he thought about almost all the most uncomfortable and painful things that had happened to him in the past twenty years, which was why he couldn't laugh out loud.

The others didn't know and thought the young man's loyalty was commendable. Chen Chengbi thought for a moment, took off something from his waist and handed it to him, saying, "This is the Heavenly King Life-Saving Pill. It can protect your heart meridian and prevent you from being hurt by the Red Dragon's power. You are a good boy."

"Old man, let me think of a way to get rid of the red dragon power in your heart."

As soon as Li Guan heard the name of the pill, he knew it was very expensive.

But the old man was looking at him eagerly, so Li Guanyi had to tilt his neck back and swallow the pill. At this moment, he felt at ease, thinking that he might have swallowed a treasure worth a thousand taels of silver in one breath. Although he was no longer poor, he did not develop a spendthrift personality.

There was still some genuine sorrow on his face.

One thousand taels of silver! One thousand two hundred strings of money.

Huichuntang’s hundred years of salary was gone.

When others saw this, they just thought that the young man was calm on the surface.

But he still felt pain in his heart because his martial arts were half-wasted, and he couldn't help but sigh with compassion.

Pojun was amazed.

This generation of White Tiger clan is so good at acting.

However, such an outstanding White Tiger Sect was finally found by himself.

Sign the contract yourself first.

Old things, old trash!

Just watch me wash away these one hundred years of shame!
After a long period of appeasement, the General of the Jinwu Guard directly approved a note to allow Li Guanyi to take paid leave, and someone drove him back. Li Guanyi left the center of the vortex in a dignified manner and returned to his own yard of the Xue family. Only then did Li Guanyi feel relieved.

Lying on the bed, Li Guanyi closed his eyes and exhaled. Suddenly, he felt something. He opened his eyes and saw silver hair in the corner. He smiled slightly and his expression relaxed.

It’s Yaoguang.

The girl lay on the corner with her hands on her hands and slowly emerged from the corner.

At this moment, he saw Yaoguang pause.

The silver hair that was slowly emerging paused.

Then it shrank down suddenly.

The girl lay there quietly, not moving.

I was holding my breath.

Li Guan was stunned, then he heard hurried footsteps, and then saw the door being kicked open. Xue Daoyong strode over, angrily cursing Yue Qianfeng. Anyone who saw him knew that the old man was very angry.

Close the door.

When he turned around, his expression was calm.

I saw the young man still lying on the bed.

The old man kicked the boy in the butt in anger and scolded him with a smile: "Okay, stop acting in front of this old man. Tell me, what are you and Yue Qianfeng doing?"

"Such a big disaster has happened, and even the old man has to pretend to be furious in front of others."

The old man took the tea and sat on the armchair, drinking it himself with a calm look on his face.

Li Guan sat up, but couldn't help glancing at the corner.

I saw a strand of silver hair being blown away.

The girl quietly reached out and pressed the silver hair down.

I think he has no expression on his face.

Li Guanyi couldn't help laughing, but replied: "Sure enough, I can't hide it from you, Mr. Xue."

He drew his attention back and paused, not knowing where to begin.

Finally, thinking of Concubine Xue, the Crown Prince, and the illegitimate child, Li Guanyi sat there, looked at the old man, and said:

"Mr. Xue."

"Do you want your aunt's son to become the crown prince?"

In a word, the situation of the State of Chen was made clear.
