Chapter 116 Princess, Aunt Qingyan
Li Guanyi looked at these words and realized that the cold and aloof eldest princess had recognized him. He was now concealing his temperament and appearance by relying on the method taught by his aunt. If the eldest princess Chen Qingyan also knew this method and practiced it for ten years, her realm must be higher than his.

Perhaps, in her eyes, my attempts to conceal my changes were of no use at all.

Perhaps you can tell at a glance.

However, that magic door was indeed the "Twelve-Storied Tower in Misty Jiangnan" which was passed down from the Murong family of the Jiangnan Divine Soldiers' Mansion. When my aunt left the capital, she told Princess Yu about this magic door in order to repay her gratitude.

Or, at that time, my aunt had already decided to die on the road.

Passing this skill to the eldest princess is just to prevent this unique skill from being cut off in his own body.

The tragedy of that year can already be seen.

Li Guanyi lowered his eyes.

He recorded the names of these twenty-four generals and their means of communication.

They are all generals who once galloped across the world with his father, rising from the southwest, running rampant in the Western Regions, and defeating the world's number one general without dying. Li Guanyi even suspects in his heart that these twenty-four generals, as long as they have not died in these ten years, must be on the list of generals.

Even if it's not ranked at the top.

Even if they are outside the top fifty, there are still twenty-four famous generals.

Moreover, there are probably all kinds of generals, including cavalry, infantry, naval, fierce generals, fighting generals, cavalry generals, and strategic generals. These twenty-four represent the combat power system of an entire legion!
Only ten years have passed. Li Guanyi could not guarantee where these generals are now or what their positions are. People's minds have changed. He said that his father had been dead for ten years, and he suddenly said a word, and these famous generals bowed down to him. Li Guanyi himself did not believe it.

This would be as impossible as if they all rebelled.

This is the only information left here. Li Guanyi decided in his heart that he would find a way to find out the whereabouts of these generals after returning.

The State of Chen was so large that it was impossible to hide the traces of these generals. Li Guanyi thought about it and remembered the storage place of the files of the Jinwu Guard. The Jinwu Guard was the imperial guard of the court, independent of the ordinary Ministry of War.

The Jinwu Guard has its own independent record files.

Looks like I have to go back early.

In addition to this file, they also have to take out the things that were previously left in Qilin Palace, as well as the mountain marrow that the Queen Mother placed in the pavilion and agreed upon with Hou Zhongyu. This thing must be taken away as soon as possible, otherwise, Hou Zhongyu is dead, and the Queen will definitely find a chance to take the mountain marrow back.

The marrow of Nanshan and the magic of the sorcerer.

These two should be coordinated.

Li Guanyi was quite envious of the old sorcerer Hou Zhongyu's immortal vitality.

Li Guanyi made up his mind and wrote down these things. After a pause, he stretched out his hand and pressed it on the bookshelf. On the surface, he seemed to be looking for these magical skills, but in fact, the energy between his eyebrows was flowing, practicing "The Twelve-Storied Tower in Misty Jiangnan" taught by his aunt.

Then raise your hands.

What he held in his hand was the "Wangyang Jin" that Chen Chengbi had instructed him to take. This skill required the energy to flow like the ocean, which could encompass the body's different kinds of true Qi.

After practicing for a period of time, you can then use force openly.

He also wanted to participate in the martial arts competition before the grand festival.

The light dissipated and the image of a black turtle appeared on Li Guanyi's shoulder. At this moment, Li Guanyi planned to take the "Wangyang Jin" and leave, but the black turtle held on to his shoulders tightly, and its pair of green bean-sized eyes stared in one direction.

Li Guanyi saw that there was a hidden staircase leading to a higher place.

The black tortoise's small eyes were filled with a deep desire, and it pulled the boy's shoulder. Li Guan thought for a moment and walked over, but someone stopped him, saying in a deep voice, "Sir, you can't go here."

The voice is gentle.

Li Guanyi paused and subconsciously turned around to look. Before this, he didn't even feel the person approaching. When he raised his eyes, waves of emotion exploded in Li Guanyi's heart.

The person who spoke was a gentle-looking middle-aged man.

He had a pair of small eyes with droopy eye corners, looking tired and gentle. He bent slightly when speaking and was quite polite. He was wearing a dark green official uniform and did not look high in rank. In front of the young man with a white jade belt around his waist and a scarlet battle robe, he seemed like a timid low-ranking official.

Li Guanyi's bronze tripod whistled.

He saw a Dharma image on the shoulder of the middle-aged man.

It's an owl!
Except for special ones like Li Guanyi, most of the heroes in the world have different appearances.

Li Guanyi had seen this Dharma image before. At that time, he was not so timid. He was wearing armor, holding a magic weapon, and almost stabbed the old man from the Xue family in the back. This was the killer who assassinated Xue Daoyong outside Guanyi City.

Li Guanyi recited this person's name in his mind.

Situ Deqing is ranked tenth among the killers in the world.

Holding the third assassination weapon, the Chengying Sword, the Wulong Entangled Armor that conceals the aura, and -

Five hundred years ago, it belonged to Duke Chen.
Later, it was worn by Li Wanli, Duke of Taiping, and became a visor that enabled him to travel throughout the Western Regions.

Situ Deqing had seen Li Guanyi rush out of Guanyi City and warned Xue Daoyong and Yue Qianfeng. Although he said to others that he rushed out of the city for the old man, it was not impossible for a person like Situ Deqing to see everything.

If he guessed that Li Guanyi and Yue Qianfeng had a past, then Yue Qianfeng's assassination of Li Guanyi with the Red Dragon Power would be a flaw.

Why is this person here?!

Could it be that the tenth best killer in the world is a close confidant of the Chen royal family?
Li Guanyi's heart was tense, and a sense of crisis emerged in his heart, but he remained calm and said calmly: "Oh? Why?"

The man in the dark blue official uniform smiled and said:
"Most of the library's collection can be read by the royal family's children."

“And this cabinet can only be read by the prince, or those who have made great contributions.”

"Haven't you already chosen a technique?"

"Oh, it's the 'Wangyang Jin'. This technique was created by a master of the royal family two hundred and forty years ago. It can use different kinds of true Qi to fight. When it is fully developed, the first level of punches and kicks often hide the changes of the second level. It is very powerful."

Li Guanyi said: "It was Senior Chen Chengbi who asked me to choose."

"You said you could remove the red dragon energy from my body. Who are you? You know the answer to this technique."

The middle-aged man smiled ingratiatingly and said, "My name is Si Qing. I am a book keeper here. I am just an eighth-rank official with no real power. Your Majesty has been so kind as to allow me to look through these martial arts here. I have no skills, so I just want to satisfy my craving."

"Are you injured, sir? I know some medical skills, why don't you let me take a look."

Li Guanyi said calmly: "Humph, Yue Qianfeng just broke into the palace a few days ago."

"Your Majesty has bestowed upon me a jade belt and a scarlet robe, and has sent an imperial physician to examine them. Do you know more about medicine than His Majesty's imperial physician?"

Si Qing said embarrassedly: "Well, then of course it's not as good as that."

He seemed to touch Li Guanyi accidentally, and then said: "I will register it for you, sir. After you practice, just return the original version of the skills." Li Guanyi took the skills, walked out, and looked at the cabinet of the library.

The black tortoise statue on the shoulder was staring at the cabinet over there.

There seemed to be something extraordinary inside that attracted it.

You can get close, but you can’t touch.

Li Guanyi saw a human-like expression on the black turtle's face.

This Dharma image was almost anxious to speak human language.

The Black Turtle Dharma Image had only moved twice before.

The first time was the "Tiger Roaring Bone Tempering Technique" created by the overlord eight hundred years ago, and the second time was the Eternal Cang Yue Immortality Elixir that Hou Zhongyu had refined for who knows how many days. This third time, no one knew what was inside.

Is it a peerless magical skill, or some kind of chance treasure.

Or, just as General Xue left behind a secret realm, did Duke Chen, who was also a famous general, also leave behind something?
Li Guanyi was also aroused by the changes in the black tortoise's appearance.

However, with the hidden identity of the world's tenth assassin looking at him with a smile in front of him, and the rules of the Chen Kingdom behind him, he would not show any abnormal behavior, but just said lightly: "Okay."

"There is Lord Laosi."

He displayed just the right amount of noble bearing.

Si Qing smiled and nodded. At this moment, a voice came from the cabinet, and then someone came out talking. It was a young man who looked about fifteen or sixteen years old. He was dressed in brocade clothes and a golden hair crown. He was extremely noble, but his eyes were sharp and there was a hint of murderous intent.

There were young people of the same age surrounding him.

He has a bookish air and calls you "Your Highness".

The noble young man walked out of the cabinet, holding a book in his hand. He raised his eyes, casually but with a look of contempt, and swept over the royal family members who bowed their heads. When he finally landed on Li Guanyi, he suddenly paused. The prince looked at the young man with a heroic look, wearing a red robe and a white jade belt, and said, "Xue family, Li Guanyi?"

Si Qing had already bowed repeatedly, with a panicked look on his face: "Ah, Your Highness, you're out."

"Have you chosen any books?"

The prince waved his hand casually and looked at Li Guanyi calmly.

In the eyes of others, the fifteen-year-old Li Guanyi in a scarlet robe was also looking at the young man. There was an inexplicable atmosphere between the two of them. The other children of the royal family all felt a little uncomfortable, and the air was filled with a certain quiet atmosphere.

This is the prince.

The son of the Prince Regent, a pawn in the eyes of the contemporary emperor.

This thought flashed through Li Guanyi’s mind.

Finally, he bowed slightly and said, "Your Highness."

The prince lowered his eyes and nodded.

Li Guanyi thought to himself that their fathers had once taken up swords and spears together to conquer the world, had once fought side by side, had once been enemies of each other, and now they were reunited here.

The prince looked away and said calmly, "Yeah."

Then there was no talking, no trying to win over, and no suppressing.

Just like that, he left with his own group of young people from aristocratic families. Those young people looked at Li Guanyi with curiosity, coldness, and contempt in their eyes. These were all civil officials and aristocratic families. At this moment, Li Guanyi was a relative, a businessman, and a military officer.

This hostility is natural.

It was the Emperor who manipulated and sowed the seeds of hostility in the hearts of the younger generation with ease. Li Guan raised his eyes, took the martial arts from Si Qing's hands, and left here calmly.

The prince went to visit his mother. When he entered the palace and pushed open the door, he was hit by a strong scent of sandalwood. He pursed his lips, pushed open the door, and saw a Buddhist shrine in the center. A woman was kneeling in front of the Buddha, her lips opening and closing, chanting scriptures.

The prince said, "Mother, I met Li Guanyi from the Xue family today."

But the Queen did not answer.

She continued to recite the remaining thirty times of the Diamond Sutra before opening her eyes and saying, "Li Guanyi, I've heard of him. He was already in the second floor at the age of fifteen, and was also an eighth-rank Jinwu Guard military officer. Have you tried to win him over?"

The prince replied, “No.”

He looked at his mother and whispered, "He is a good man from the State of Chen, full of vigor and vitality, but we are destined to be mortal enemies. This robe embroidered with dragons is on me, and Empress Xue's child has been confirmed to be a boy with excellent physique, and he is my good brother."

"Li Guanyi is from the Xue family, from the line of Concubine Xue."

"Even if his relationship with my good brother is not as good as that of my biological uncle, it is not much worse. When my unborn brother grows up, Li Guanyi will become the most reliable person around him and will be a great general in the future."

"With this stance, we are destined to come to blows with each other."

"Since he's already an enemy, do I still need to suppress him?"

"Since we can't be friends, why should I try to win him over? Rather than sympathizing with each other now and suffering from swords in the future, it's better for us to be enemies from the beginning." The prince raised the corner of his mouth and moved forward.

But when he walked near the Buddhist shrine, he saw the Queen's body tremble.

The beautiful queen turned and shouted, "Stop!"

The prince paused.

After taking a few breaths, the queen calmed down and said, "No, you can't get close to the Buddha statue. This is a quiet place. You shouldn't come here." She stood up, turned around, and looked at her son. She reached out her hand and covered her son's hand. Her eyes were full of kindness, and she said gently:
"Your father is a hero."

"You have to be a hero who is no less than him. You have to become the emperor of Chen State, and then be good to mother. Do you understand? It is mother who gave birth to you and raised you. You can't let me down and be soft-hearted."

"Li Guanyi is your enemy. What you should do is not to avoid making friends with him or suppress him. Don't learn from those so-called heroes in troubled times. You are the emperor. What you should do is to kill him at the very beginning before he grows up. Do you understand?"

The prince looked at his mother who was chanting the Buddha's name, and finally just said, "...Okay."

The prince walked out of here, and behind him, the queen ran to the side room. She put the palm of her hand that was caressing her son into the water in the golden basin and rubbed and scrubbed it hard, as if her hands had touched something dirty, over and over again.

The sound of water was getting louder and louder.

The prince stood quietly in the yard, listening to the sound of his mother washing her hands, his eyes calm.

My father likes the child in Concubine Xue’s belly.

His mother was chanting Buddha's name, but this was the case. He looked up at the sky, his eyes slightly red, and his tears flowed back.

Then he gritted his teeth, quiet and noble.

He walked out and said to his guards:
"Go find Moko Wuliang, General Xiao Wuliang."

"I want to learn the magical skills of my Chen country, and I need the general's guidance."

"Internally cultivate the "Six Void and Four Harmonized Divine Skills"."

"External cultivation of the "Mountain-breaking and Peak-breaking Spear Execution."

"I, Chen, practiced both at home and abroad. Only in this way can I have a set of magical skills and martial arts. Only then can I be considered the crown prince of my Chen family and wear such a set of magical weapons and armor."

………………

In the library, Si Qing was sorting files when he suddenly felt a chill in the air. He did not react. After several breaths, he turned around as if in shock and saw a tall woman with snow-white temples.

Si Qing's face was in panic: "Your Highness the Princess!"

Chen Qingyan said calmly: "Get the book."

She has been here for ten years and often comes here to read ancient books. Si Qing was not surprised. The eldest princess was not too old and her martial arts skills were outstanding. Chen Qingyan lowered her eyes and paced. She walked towards the bookshelf. She didn't know what kind of scene she would see in a while.

I don't know if it's all my own fault or just wishful thinking.

Finally, she walked to the bookshelf. The trace left by the magical skill of "Twelve Layers of Jiangnan Misty Rain" had changed. It was obviously moved. Chen Qingyan was suddenly stunned and saw an extra line of text behind this text -

'Guan Yi thanks Aunt Qingyan'

The corners of her lips seemed to move slightly.

So the story of the past began to continue anew.

This is how bloodline inheritance works. What we see in the other young man is nothing else.

It is that person’s youth, and reflecting back on it, is one’s own youth.

Chen Qingyan stood there quietly.

She reached out and touched the bookshelf, and the text, which contained the secret orders of the twenty-four generals, shattered and disappeared. Chen Qingyan walked out alone. She sat in the wooden house, picked up a pot of wine, and drank alone under the clear moonlight all night.

Then she closed her eyes.

A long time, a long time.

He just whispered: "Wanli..."

"I found him."

………………

After Li Guanyi returned to the Xue family, he immediately returned to his room. He closed his eyes and meditated, focusing all his attention on the place on his body that Situ Deqing had just touched. Sure enough, he felt a trace of imperceptible energy flowing into his body.

It’s not much, just enough to disrupt Li Guanyi’s practice and pretend that something happened to Li Guanyi himself.

It turned out to be him, Lao Deng!

However, this time you are at a loss.

Li Guanyi closed his eyes slightly and practiced his skills to wrap up that wisp of Qi.

"Six Voids and Four Combinations"!
Refining!
