Chapter 414: The world should give it a title (ask for monthly tickets)
Ji Yanzhong was personally brought to the front line of Zhenxi Xiongcheng by the gentle and amiable Wen He. After reporting, he was taken inside. What he saw along the way were all elite soldiers and brave generals, with soldiers wearing armor and looking straight ahead.

The generals were brave and fierce, and there was a hint of murderous intent in their brows.

His sleeves fluttered in the wind, revealing the courage that came from risking one's life on the battlefield.

Ji Yanzhong was shocked. He had not seen Li Guanyi for two years. The last time they met was during a tour of inspection in Zhongzhou City. At that time, Qin Wuhou seemed to be a man of great bearing and vigor, and was also a local hero.

But at that time, how could he have the courage and spirit of a powerful leader with a strong army and horses like he does today?
Ji Yanzhong walked past the generals and went to the main house, but saw Li Guanyi standing up to greet him.

He stood tall, now wearing only a brocade robe, with his hair tied up with a jade hairpin. He looked not as heroic as the young man he was two years ago, but as calm and solemn as someone who has experienced a lot. He strode over with his sleeves fluttering, and the civil and military advisers and generals on both sides stood up and followed him.

However, the counselors were elegant, their strategies were sharp, their styles were varied, the military generals were stern and murderous, the generals from the Central Plains, the powerful men from the Western Regions, the wind blew by, and the Kirin-patterned battle flags on both sides danced wildly and murderously in the wind.

Ji Yan was deeply impressed.

The bearing of a sincere overlord.

He was about to salute, but Li Guan took half a step forward and raised his hand to support the old man's arm. Ji Yanzhong tried to salute, but he was unable to break free from the strength of the arm, and he was shocked.

Li Guanyi's martial arts skills have actually surpassed his? !

When I first met him, he was just a man of low martial arts skills. But after only a few years, he has already developed such courage. In troubled times, heroes really emerge. Ji Yanzhong sighed in his heart, and his emotions changed. He just said:
"My Lord, your martial arts have become more and more advanced."

Li Guanyi smiled heartily: "Old senior, it's been a long time since we last met. The Red Dragon Power I taught you that day was a gift from you. You don't have to do this. Please!"

Li Guanyi supported Ji Yanzhong with one hand and extended his hand to him, showing all courtesy. Ji Yanzhong smiled and walked forward into the hall. Someone had already served him tea. Ji Yanzhong held a scroll with a green jade axis in both hands and said:

"Your Majesty's divine power has shaken the world. Even in Zhongzhou, the general's reputation is known. All the ministers and officials are seeking credit for you. His Majesty the Red Emperor personally wrote this imperial edict and sent me here to convey His Majesty's will."

"And there is a secret letter, which will be delivered to you, my Lord."

Yuan Zhi, Fan Qing and others bowed solemnly upon hearing this.

Their eyes met each other, with a hint of excitement in their hearts, and also a hint of expectation. Their lord had conquered all directions, and his fame had spread throughout the world, but they didn't know what title the Red Emperor of Zhongzhou would bestow on their lord.

He was already a marquis of founding military merit.

It is considered to be the first-class title in the world.

Go one step further and at least it’s public!

Wang Shunchen, Yue Qianfeng, Yan Xuanji and other old ministers of Duke Taiping and Yue Pengwu were all secretly excited - even if Duke Taiping was at this age, he would never have such merits and titles.

What's more, the title and honor of Duke Taiping were conferred by the emperor of the State of Chen at that time.

In terms of orthodoxy and status, it is naturally inferior to the title bestowed by the Red Emperor himself.

But Pojun was extremely arrogant.

male?!

My lord has conquered all directions, confronted the Wolf King, Jiang Su, in the most direct way, and completely controlled the Western Regions. He also defeated Lu Youxian, the world's best city defender. For such achievements, you only give one man?

Sending away beggars?!
Pojun was very arrogant. He appeared respectful on the surface, but he felt in his heart...

In this contemporary world, among all the princes, generals and ministers, who is qualified to be my lord? !
Who dares?!

The generals and counselors all had their own ideas. Li Guanyi did not shirk his responsibility. He just took the heavy imperial edict, nodded slightly, and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty the Red Emperor."

"Thank you for coming, old uncle."

After Li Guanyi sat down again, he unfolded the imperial edict. All the generals and counselors held their breath and looked at it. They saw that Li Guanyi saw the words left by Ji Zichang, and saw the eight large and powerful characters.

[The world is so big, you can take it as you please]!
Furthermore, on the imperial edict that conferred the title, it was clear that the seal of the Red Emperor had been pressed, but it did not specify what title or nobility was being conferred. Ji Zichang's intention was very clear.

Li Guanyi can fill in any title he wants!

Even if he wants to be king, he is bolder and has a bigger appetite. It is written on the imperial edict that Ji Zichang should abdicate the throne. Ji Zichang does not mind at all. Just show all your ambitions and aspirations!

Li Guanyi felt the magnanimity and generosity of his good friend, so he closed the imperial edict and placed it on the table next to him.

Pojun seemed to be thinking about something.

Ji Yanzhong said: "I don't know when you will be given a higher title."

Li Guanyi: "Add a title..."

He placed one hand on the table beside him and said with a smile, "Now that the matter has not been completely resolved, what's the point of talking about whether to confer a title or not? Mr. Ji, please sit down first. I still have something to accomplish. After that, I will confer a title on you."

Li Guan paused:
"Let the people of this world confer a title on me!"

These words had a different weight to Ji Yanzhong, who knew the general meaning of the imperial edict. He knew that Ji Zichang's eight words were the closest to the Red Emperor among his descendants in the past few hundred years.

And Li Guanyi's answer was not inferior in spirit at all.

[The world is so big, you can take whatever you want]

[Then let the people of the world confer a title on me]

The question and answer span thousands of miles, but it is magnificent and bold.

Ji Yanzhong felt sorry for Ji Zichang at first. He was such a great man, but he had to fall to this point and could not compete with the world. Only then did he sigh in admiration and said, "The power of the lord is finally revealed today."

Li Guanyi ordered a banquet to entertain the old man.

Yue Qianfeng, Ye Buyi, Zhou Liuying, and Chen Wenmian entertained the kind-hearted old man. Yue Qianfeng laughed and said, "Old senior, do you still remember Yue Qianfeng? Hahahaha, if you hadn't taught me those few moves of Red Dragon Power back then, how could I be where I am today?!"

"Come, come, let's drink together!"

Yue Qianfeng is already famous all over the world, but he still remembers the kindness of being taught martial arts.

Ji Yanzhong really admired those who were so grateful.

With such old friends around, he felt more comfortable living here. However, when he looked up and saw Ye Buyi and Zhou Liuying, two young generals to whom he had taught martial arts, Ji Yanzhong felt inexplicably melancholy.

Suddenly I recalled the rumors during the grand sacrifice of the State of Chen that those who had inherited his skills were all traitors.

He was so angry that day that he taught his martial arts to Ye Buyi and Zhou Liuying, intending to wash away this shameful reputation on himself. However, over the past few years, it seems that his reputation as a person who passed on his martial arts skills and was against Chen has been firmly established.

In particular, he saw that Chen Wenmian, who had also learned a few moves back then, was also there.

The kind-hearted elder became more and more melancholy.

Even the prince who was taught martial arts skills rebelled.

Is it really so evil? !

After everyone left, Li Guanyi went to entertain Mr. Ji Yanzhong in person. The imperial edict was casually placed on the table. It was obvious that Pojun and others were allowed to read it.

Po Jun coughed, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and then he said to himself: "My lord, since you trust me so much, I can't help but read it. Although, this is the imperial edict written by the contemporary Red Emperor himself, others cannot easily read it."

"But then again..."

"My lord trusts me so much, if I don't watch it, wouldn't I be betraying my lord's trust?!"

"Let's see..."

Po Jun happily turned around to look, but saw that Wen He had passed by at some point. He was holding the imperial edict in both hands and unfolding it, reading it with great interest and looked quite focused.

Po Jun: “…………”

"what are you doing?"

Wen He raised his head, surprised: "Didn't the Lord ask us to see it?"

Po Jun: “…………”

Wen He smiled gently: "Mr. Pojun, don't you want to see it?"

"This imperial edict is really unexpected. It would be a pity not to read it. However, after all, you are Mr. Pojun, who abides by the law, is loyal to the emperor and loves the country. Unlike me, I will write this imperial edict for you..."

"Bring it to you!"

The veins on Pojun's forehead jumped, and he took back the imperial edict. He glanced at it, frowned slightly, and then slowly relaxed. The mere eight characters made him sigh for a long time, and he said: "He has such courage. This contemporary Red Emperor Ji Zichang is really not someone to be underestimated."

Mr. Wen He touched his chin and said, "Now that we have come to this."

"Or else let him abdicate."

Po Jun's forehead twitched, but he still said, "Now the world is not settled, and we are stealing this great name. Are you worried that Chen and Ying will become our enemies? Or are you planning to make the whole world our enemy?"

"Let's not talk about anything else, if the lord does something like this."

"At this moment, Wen Lingjun, Feng Xiao, and Xiao Zhi, who are guarding Jiangnan with the 150,000 standing Qilin troops, are afraid that they will have a rift with the lord."

Wen He pointed at Po Jun and laughed: "You didn't object at the beginning, but started to think about the feasibility of abdication. Hahahaha, Mr. Po Jun, you are also a traitor in this world."

"In that case."

"Why don't you abdicate now?"

"It saves a lot of fighting and war."

Po Jun: “…………”

He sighed.

Sometimes there really is this illusion -

This guy, who is self-seeking first, really only thinks about himself.

Wen He was refreshed. Before Po Jun swung the Yu Shui sword at his waist, which he had shown off more than once, and smashed it on his face like a piece of iron, Wen He took a step back and said, "If you don't abdicate, what title should my lord use?"

Po Jun held the imperial edict in his hand, and looked at the elite soldiers and generals outside. After a long while, he said:

"male……"

Wen He lowered his eyes with a hint of smile, while Po Jun considered. The two core counselors of the Qilin Army looked at each other, and then seemed to know what the other was thinking, and they all whispered:

"Low."

These two words seemed to have an inexplicable magic. Neither of them could express the title that they longed for Li Guanyi to have, but they both knew what the other meant.

Po Jun said: "But I still don't know what the lord means."

Wen He said: "You will know once you ask."

After Li Guanyi came back, the two of them asked about it, but they didn't know how to start. Li Guanyi pretended to be surprised and said, "Have you read my imperial edict?!"

"I just put it here."

Po Jun: “…………”

Wen He took a half step back without changing his expression and pointed at Po Jun: "Mr. Po Jun is watching."

Po Jun: “???”

Po Jun was furious: "You fucking bastard."

Li Guan laughed and said, "Hahaha, I put it here for you to see. It was just a joke. But you two gentlemen are so serious. It seems that you have some ideas?"

Po Jun and Wen He looked at each other, and Po Jun said, "My lord, if you want to be conferred a title now, you should go to the southwest to receive the title, or..."

Li Guanyi said: "When the world is divided into three parts, I will accept this title again."

After the kingdom was divided into three parts...it naturally competed with the State of Chen and the State of Ying.

There is no need to mention his honorable title!
Just thinking of that text, Po Jun's heart was filled with a trace of excitement. Li Guan stroked the scroll with one hand, looked outside, and said: "Then, in connection with the matter in Jiangnan, Feng Xiao and Mr. Wen Lingjun will command the Qilin Army's navy to gather strength."

"Thank you, Mr. Pojun."

Po Jun asked, "My lord, how do you conquer the southwest?"

Li Guanyi stretched out his hand and pointed to the southwest, saying, "The King of the Southwest has already written here, we cannot be unceremonious, I will go first, and then when everything in Zhenxi City is understood, Wen Mian will lead the army to follow."

Pojun and Wenhe are both called promises.

Li Guanyi first wrote a letter to tell the King of Southwest that he would visit him soon, and then sent the letter via a strange beast.

After settling the people of Zhenxi Xiongcheng, Li Guanyi made instructions and arrangements, rode a fast horse, crossed Anxi Xiongcheng, and led only a few people, Yaoguang, Nangong Wumeng, and Mr. Wenhe, who came from Anxi City specially to prepare for some special situations, and Lei Laomeng.

Form a team in a manner that is polite and not intimidating.

At least, it doesn't look dangerous.

Go straight southwest.

Qilin lay on Li Guanyi's shoulder and said with great interest: "Listen to me, there are really many, many, many, many delicious foods in the southwest. I was not there when Li Wanli went there for the first time, but I was there later."

“The fruits there are really good fruits!”

Li Guan smiled and said, "How does it compare to the Western Regions?"

The little Qilin was a little confused: "The fruits in the Western Region are sweet and big, but the fruits in the Southwest also have their own taste. I..."

Li Guanyi teased him, "How does it compare to the fruits in Zhongzhou?!"

The little Qilin was stunned, and then he said angrily: "You, you, you, the good fruits in Zhongzhou are not what a good Qilin should eat! Fruits from other places are better than those there!"

The cat he transformed into turned around and sat on Li Guanyi's shoulder, looking angry and with its fur standing on end.

Li Guanyi laughed out loud, his brows raised.

The Nine-Colored Divine Deer had also turned into the size of a normal deer. Yaoguang sat on the back of the Nine-Colored Divine Deer and gently combed its hair with her hands. The Nine-Colored Divine Deer took a step and ran very far away.

Li Guanyi looked at the scenery ahead and said, "Senior Nine-Colored Deer."

The Nine-Colored Divine Deer raised its eyes and looked at him.

Li Guanyi asked: "Are there any existences like you in the southwest?" He looked at the Nine-Colored Divine Deer. He was actually very curious about this question. Li Guanyi had been in contact with the auspicious signs in the southwest before, but was soon unilaterally interrupted by the other party.

Therefore, I became more and more curious.

They broke through the border of Chen State, and now they have established a dominant position in the southwest. The navy has gathered in the south of the Yangtze River, and they are planning to attack here upstream by water soon and tear the world apart. It is like an arrow on a string, and the momentum is already there.

Li Guanyi followed this path, and his own aura became more and more turbulent. Coupled with the battles he had fought in the Western Regions, he already had some of the spirit of a mighty lord. His own foundation of the Eightfold Heaven also began to surge.

The third tripod was cast.

It can completely connect the Nine Cauldrons of Southwest, Western Regions, and Jiangnan.

If it were the territory of the entire world, nine large tripods could be cast in total.

By that time, Li Guanyi would have occupied one third of them.

And because of the existence of the Western Regions, in terms of the vastness of the territory, it will even directly surpass the State of Chen. It is already the ambition of a powerful ruler of the world and a founding monarch. Such changes are reflected in his own path. During this period of time when Li Guanyi was in the eighth level of the heaven, his inner Qi became more and more turbulent.

Knowing that if he entered the southwest, there must be a tripod, he asked the Nine-Colored Divine Deer. The Nine-Colored Divine Deer thought for a long time and said, "The southwest is a very large area with many mountains and rivers. In the ancient times, when the Central Plains first established a country, there was a civilization with bronze and sacred trees as its symbols."

"But the corresponding mythical birds and beasts all withered and died over the years."

"In that era, the Great Sun Blazing Bird was a symbol of good fortune and possessed the majesty and holiness of a king. But as far as I know, it eventually perished."

"It seems to have an unexplainable relationship with the Red Dragon."

Li Guanyi said: "Ancient Red Dragon?"

The Nine-Colored Divine Deer said, “Yes.”

"The ancient red dragon is very good at fighting."

She paused, as if she felt that her words were not strong enough, so she emphasized, "The ancient red dragon is really good at fighting."

Seeing the serious expression of the Nine-Colored Divine Deer, Li Guanyi's mouth twitched. He seemed to have glimpsed the conflicts between the mythical beasts and auspicious signs in the ancient times, as well as the battles. As he expected, the characteristic of the ancient red dragon was its ability to fight.

The world is vast, and the vital energy surges, transforming into many auspicious signs and mythical beasts. They are one of the beginnings of human mythology and the source of Dharma. Many auspicious signs can call the wind and rain or control the wind and sand, and have various mysterious abilities.

Then there was another one who was admiring these mysterious abilities.

On the one hand, they used force and claimed it was a good omen.

If the many auspicious signs do not recognize his name, he will use the red dragon's claws and dragon scales to fight until all the divine beasts recognize him as the greatest auspicious sign.

If there are any ominous signs, beat Him with strength, tear Him apart with the might of dragon claws, and make the ominous things disappear. Then all that lies ahead will be a smooth road. In this way, evil spirits can be driven out in the most direct and unquestionable way.

How can this not be called a good omen!
The Nine-Colored Divine Deer describes the ideas of the ancient red dragon in the earliest times.

Li Guanyi was speechless for a moment and said:

"So, is there anything else?"

The Nine-Colored Divine Deer continued, “There is also the tiger-like divine beast Shanjun, and the auspicious sign Bai Ze. However, Bai Ze seems to have disappeared a long time ago, and we cannot contact him.”

"As for the rest of these mythical beasts and auspicious signs, they all died during these long years due to various reasons. However, even though they have died, they can still be reincarnated and their ages can be calculated."

"At this moment, it should be slightly larger than Qilin."

Li Guanyi seemed to be thinking about something, and then asked:

"So, is there someone who is good at fighting and can be used as a symbol of the army?"

The Nine-Colored Divine Deer thought for a long time and said solemnly, "Yes."

"There is one, it's a bear-like mythical beast."

"Among all the auspicious signs, it possesses physical strength second only to the ancient red dragon and white tiger, and defensive capabilities second only to the black tortoise and red dragon. It has strong resilience and can forcibly tear apart the army's charge when angry. Thousands of years ago, it was painted on the battle flag to inspire the soldiers."

Li Guanyi laughed: "That's it!"

The Nine-Colored Divine Deer thought about it, nine-colored streams of light flowed, and a breath rose up, saying: "Then, I'll give you this thing, you can use it, maybe you can connect with the child."

Li Guanyi thanked him and took control of the breath, causing the bronze tripod to ring again.

At the same time, in the southwest.

A certain Xiangrui suddenly shuddered, and the hair on his heels and the back of his head all exploded. He shrank his neck, looked around with great vigilance, his mouth trembling, and said:
"No, something's wrong."

"There's something wrong. There's no one around, but I feel like someone is staring at me."

“This feeling.”

"That guy from Jiuli is chasing me again?!"

Xiangrui was horrified and his body was shaking. The more he thought about it, the more uneasy he became. The more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong, so he concealed his body and sneaked down to where the King of Southwest was. Before he could ask, he heard the King of Southwest's solemn voice coming from there.

"Everyone, do you know about the matter of Qin Wuhou?"

Xiangrui seemed to be thinking about something, so he broke open the fruit next to him and stuffed it into his mouth: "???"

Chew chew chew.

"My memory before the previous generation's rotation tells me that this problem is most likely caused by this guy..."

The King of Southwest had just received the intelligence and the letter. The city lords in the southwest had previously planned to give the son of the Duke of Taiping a 'powerful' treatment. Of course, they did not want to humiliate him, but to follow the same process they had done with the Duke of Taiping.

In order to get the people in the southwest to agree to the covenant, they had to pass the test of that year.

The King of the Southwest thought that this would prevent people from looking down on them. It was probably just a drinking contest and clan rules, a harmless thing, so he just laughed it off and let it go. However, the information he got at this moment made his head buzz.

Tai Boyong smiled and said, "How about he found a way to come here?"

"Lu Youxian is still there..."

He was drinking and laughing.

The King of the Southwest looked at them, took a deep breath, and said:
"Qin Wuhou led an army of 300,000 and conquered the city of Zhenxi."

"Lu Youxian is dead."

The arrogant and brave generals from the southwest, whose scalps were numbed by Lu Youxian's defensive attack, froze in silence. In an instant, there was dead silence. Even the sound of swallowing wine disappeared. Tai Boyong's eyes froze.

"...Lu Youxian??"

"Marquis Qin Wu?!"

The King of the Southwest said: "... Qin Wuhou has sent a letter. He has already set out to come here. Before he went to war, he wrote us a reply letter, and then went to fight Lu Youxian. After defeating this man, he wrote to us to ask for it."

Everyone was in dead silence. Even though their brains told them that this would never happen, the combination of these few things gave them an illusion.

It was as if Qin Wuhou had directly removed this world-famous general and the top fortress just to come to the southwest for a meeting.

The battle reports may be disguised, but the battle line is not false at all.

Although the border of the State of Chen had been lost, the army of Qin Wuhou still did not retreat, but occupied the heroic city of Zhenxi, and then began to arrange city defenses. With their weapons and horses, their domineering spirit rose to the sky.

A strong wind blew towards me.

The lords of the southwestern cities had never seen a man with such courage.

Qin Wuhou is coming.

An indescribable pressure, brought about by the majestic momentum of defeating the Wolf King, repelling Jiang Su, and capturing the Xixiong City, was pressing down on everyone. Everyone, even Tai Boyong, felt the pressure.

Regardless of good or evil, such a hegemon can shake the world with just one move.

If Li Guanyi leads 300,000 troops here...

The King of the Southwest almost held his breath.

All of this was heard by a hidden Xiangrui, whose eyes widened and his mouth opened in a daze.

There is no mistake, this kind of military force, this kind of dominance.

Damn it, the Jiuli clan is still chasing me!
No, no, I want to hide, yes, hide!
Hide, hide the little bird and the little tiger too, they can't be found...

This Xiangrui was about to leave when he suddenly heard the devilish whisper in his ears and in his heart again: "Hello."

"Still remember me?"

Li Guanyi paused and followed the instructions of the Nine-Colored Divine Deer.

Using the language of six thousand years ago, the true name of that auspicious sign was called out.

Xiangrui's body suddenly stiffened.

Um? ? ? !
