Chapter 450: The Plan to Swallow the World, the Ceremony of Crowning the King (asking for monthly votes)
After Chen Tianyi said this, Mr. Wen Qingyu smiled and clapped his hands, saying:

"That's right, very good, very good."

When Mr. Wen Qingyu smiled, Li Guanyi discovered that there was a sense of relief in Chen Tianyi's eyes, and even a feeling of satisfaction and joy, as if he had gained some excellent feeling because of Mr. Wen Qingyu's praise.

Li Guanyi: “…………”

hiss!
What exactly happened in the past six months?
Forget it, let’s not think about it. It always makes me feel a little scared.

Li Guanyi looked at this man who was once an elder of the State of Chen and one of the two great masters in the Sutra Repository. Ever since Li Guanyi personally crippled his martial arts that day, his arrogance seemed to have been worn away in the past six months.

Li Guanyi asked him to stand up, sat at the table next to him, poured tea himself, and said:

"Tell me."

Chen Tianyi held the tea in both hands and remained silent for a long time. With an extremely difficult look, he said slowly: "In fact, there is a secret place in my Great Chen Kingdom."

Li Guanyi said: "I know the secret realm of Chen Guogong Baxian."

The secret realm of Chen Baxian, Duke of Chen, contains many magical herbs and plants, but the secret realm is located near the mountains close to the boundary between Chen and Ying. Is there any way to enter Chen?

Chen Tianyi originally planned to use this information to buy time.

But he didn't expect that Li Guanyi also knew it. He was stunned for a moment and felt a little at a loss.

Wen Qingyu smiled and said, "Oh? Using the information the lord knows..."

Gentle, harmless, sincere, and with a hint of smile.

Chen Tianyi's body tensed up instantly, and he said, "I, that's not what I said, cough cough cough, no, no!" He was almost scared to cough, and said, "Yes, it's the descendant of Duke Chen. Back then, Emperor Chen Wu had also practiced the Duke's martial arts to perfection."

"So I was able to open the secret realm through martial arts. The rise of my Chen family and the founding of the country were also closely related to this secret realm."

Li Guanyi said: "But the medicinal materials are not yet mature."

Chen Tianyi said: "It's not a drug, actually..." The expression on his face twisted and changed, but under the calm and indifferent gaze behind him, he still said slowly: "The secret information that the king knows should have been obtained from the Sutra Library."

"But Chen Baxian is not the only hero in the world."

"Back then, when the empire was in chaos and the Emperor Wu was facing off against the Red Emperor's army, he used the secret realm to hide his troops..."

Li Guanyi looked fierce and suddenly said, "Okay."

He suddenly realized that he had fallen into the obstruction of knowledge and views.

Secret realm, secret realm, also within the territory of Chen State.

But apart from the medicinal herbs inside, it was found that there was actually a space inside, covering the inside and outside, which was large enough for a large number of cavalry to be stationed and hide. Although the mountain road along the way was extremely difficult, the army could be slowly transferred there at a speed that would not be easily discovered, and then practice in the secret realm.

After a few months of recuperation, they launched a feint to the east and attacked in the west.

For example, in the area of ​​the waterway, while putting pressure on the State of Chen, Li Guanyi emerged from the secret realm with thousands of troops, displaying the traditional skills of the Qilin Army, with elite heavy cavalry emerging from the mountains.

The army appeared in the heart of the State of Chen, and then headed straight for the imperial city of the State of Chen.

Recreate the Wolf King’s strategy of the past!
However, the State of Chen did not have a Grand Tutor Jiang Su.

Li Guanyi is not the Wolf King Chen Fubi of that time, with no one behind him. He is the King of Qin, with a vast territory and millions of armored soldiers behind him. He is powerful and capable of sweeping the world.

If the State of Chen dispatched a large army to encircle and suppress Li Guanyi.

As for the water route, send a general to provide support.

Chen State was going to lose a lot of land. Chen Tianyi knew from Li Guanyi's expression that the King of Qin had already made a plan. After pointing this out, he knew that it was too late to save the situation, so he said, "We won a great victory in that battle back then."

"For hundreds of years, our Great Chen has actually been repairing the supply stations along the way and the outposts in the mountains. However, a few decades ago, the emperor of that generation believed in Buddhism and saw that the Red Emperor lineage in Zhongzhou had completely declined, so he gradually reduced the repairs."

“But it can still be used.”

Supply station, station in the mountains.

This is the core of ensuring the logistical capabilities of large armies on fixed routes.

It is also an absolutely critical node in military strategy and a place that no commander will miss.

Li Guan thought of the emperor of the State of Chen of that generation, the one who was fighting Jiang Su on the front line with the Wolf King while he was sharing prayers in the back. Then he made the Wolf King the King of Puyang and made Li Wanli a duke, thus separating the two.

He was also the one who caused the rift between Duke Taiping and King Shenwu.

The post stations and mountain outposts that maintained the national network and military system were abolished by the Chen emperor of that generation. He then used the money to repair temples, support monks, and cast Buddha statues with gold powder.

They kneel down reverently before the Buddha statue, listening to the sounds of chanting Buddhist scriptures and burning incense and praying, praying that the people will live and work in peace and contentment, and that the country will have a long and prosperous future.

Praying for world peace.

The demise and decline of a country are often foreshadowed in its heyday. Today, the outposts that Emperor Wu of Chen left behind three hundred years ago with great effort to open up an era are about to become a sharp blade that will chop down his own country and future generations.

Li Guanyi asked Chen Tianyi to draw all these things.

There was still a struggle on Chen Tianyi's face. He seemed to be extremely resistant to this. Moreover, even if he drew a garrison hidden in that vast territory, he could still make some fake ones.

This matter has been going on for several days, but it has not been completely resolved.

Mr. Wen Qingyu was silent for a long time.

Mr. Wen Qingyu invited two foreign aids.

And with the ability of [Putting Oneself First], he successfully put these two into a special state.

One of them is Yan Daiqing, who learned that this guy knew the location of the station and could save [90% of the logistical pressure].

One is [Xiao Zhi] who is strolling around with a small notebook in his hand.

The three of them went together and had a final heart-to-heart talk with Chen Tianyi.

After all, Li Guanyi already had a vast territory with rich resources and many talented people pouring in. Not to mention, the King of Qin was now in his prime, and the [Ceremony of Conferring the King] would be held soon, which attracted people from all over the world who came from different backgrounds and claimed to be talented.

At this time, another guest came to the capital of the Eighteen States in the South of the Yangtze River.

With a muscular body and a bald head, the light reflects in the winter sun.

Wearing simple clothes and holding a very heavy water and fire stick, he raised one hand in front of him and said "Amitabha". It was the stick monk Thirteen who was good at "telepathy".

We haven't seen each other for more than half a year since the Living Buddha from the Western Regions passed away.

This simple and honest monk came to visit because he heard that something big was happening here. It was rare for an old friend to come, so Li Guanyi was delighted and invited the stick monk Thirteen to sit down and chat. After not seeing him for a long time, Li Guanyi had changed a lot, and the stick monk Thirteen had also transformed a lot.

When he first came out of the mountain that day, the stick monk had a straight brow and a fierce aura.

When I first saw the Western Regions, I had already seen many human sufferings, and the helplessness of good and evil.

The death of the Living Buddha made his clear Buddhist heart even more harmonious. Now he walks in the world holding a long stick. His temperament has become simple and peaceful. There are scars on his body, but between his brows, there is a calmness like the autumn breeze.

Li Guanyi and the stick monk Thirteen drank tea together.

The young and heroic monk of that time.

Today's king and simple traveler.

Monk Thirteen said softly, "Amitabha, Brother Li, I haven't seen you for a long time. How are you today? I have traveled far and wide and have seen all kinds of things in the world and all kinds of suffering. I heard that you will be crowned king soon, so I came to congratulate you."

Li Guanyi just said that it was great to be able to come and take a look. If you are not in a hurry, you can stay here for a while.

Li Guanyi and the stick monk talked about many things.

After hearing what the Living Buddha said when he passed away, the monk went to various places to see and feel. He met people who were poor but had good family relationships and tried hard to survive; he also met people who were poor and had cruel hearts.

There was a family where the mother was sick and the father was a gambler. The daughter fell to her death at the foot of the mountain while climbing a mountain to collect herbs. The father took the herbs in his daughter's hand and sold the little money, then gambled it all away. The mother went mad, killed the gambler, and then jumped off the mountain screaming.

There was also a case where a man was lame and the woman ran away after giving birth to a child. The man raised the child and the woman came back and asked the child to go with her.

There was a family that saved money to send their child to school, but in the end the pressure and expectations were too great, and the child went crazy and became a beggar.

After a casual chat and a cup of tea, the two of them calmed down. After a long while, Monk Thirteen said, "In this world, everything is suffering. This is not just a saying in the Buddhist scriptures."

Li Guanyi said: "It seems to be hinting at something."

The monk smiled naively. His hands were thick with joints and rough skin. He held up a very hot teacup and said, "When I went down the mountain, I was thinking about using the long stick in my hand to kill all the evildoers and bring peace and freedom to the world."

"At that time, I saw the world in black and white."

"Kill the evil and eliminate the evil."

"But after the Living Buddha passed away, I returned to the human world and saw that good and evil were intertwined and difficult to distinguish. I couldn't just kill them all with one blow."

"In that case, what you are seeking is not to kill the evil and save the good, but just to commit the evil itself by the act of [eliminating evil], but you want to claim that you have obtained the Dharma, but you have only fallen into the evil path."

"It is ultimately the world that has caused them to change to where they are now."

The monk Thirteen, who had been walking in the world for a long time, finally laughed and sighed: "If I go up the mountain, I will tell the master that learning Buddhism can relieve the depression in people's hearts, but it cannot save the people."

"Studying Buddhism cannot save the world."

"But the King of Qin can."

Li Guanyi looked at the monk who had returned.

"Why did you come to such a conclusion?"

The monk replied, "General Fan Qing once said so."

“If you don’t look around and investigate, you have no right to speak.”

"What I said happened more often in the other two countries. It also happened under the rule of the King of Qin, but it is far from comparable to other countries. I don't believe in officials' embellishments, but I believe what I see with my own eyes."

"So I came here. If I can help the King of Qin, that would be enough."

Li Guanyi said: "I alone cannot save the world."

The monk clasped his hands together and said gently, "Everyone has to save themselves."

"This is exactly why I came here."

Li Guanyi invited the monk to meet Chen Tianyi. On the way, Li Guanyi asked, "By the way, how is your telepathy today?"

The Thirteenth Monk showed a gentle master's smile: "Finally, I have mastered it thoroughly."

"No longer as naive as before."

Li Guan nodded and said, "That's good."

Chen Tianyi was already distracted under the siege of [Northwest Yan Daiqing], [Yan Daiqing], and [Yan Daiqing holding a notebook]. He did not take the compassionate monk seriously when he saw him coming.

After all, the Southern Chen Dynasty was said to have 480 temples.

He has seen many monks like this.

Especially like the monk with a stick in front of him, who looks kind, peaceful and gentle.

Chen Tianyi held on to the last bit of information tightly, and he was like a piece of meat on a rolling knife, shouting: "I have been forced to say so many things, the last bottom line, I can't say it, just kill me!"

"King Qin, if you are a hero, then give me a quick death!"

"Kill me, kill me!"

Veins bulged on Yan Daiqing's forehead. He grabbed his waist and with a clang, he pulled out a long sword. He swung it up and was about to chop it down. Wen He and Xiao Zhi held the hot-tempered arms on the left and right and held Yan Daiqing's waist.

Wen Qingyu said, "No, no, no." "Just give me Ma Fei San, aphrodisiac, and strong croton."

"No need to kill him."

Xiao Zhi said: "Calm down, calm down, or you can just beat Wen He up."

"what?"

Yan Daiqing, the Prime Minister of Tiance Prefecture, is a gentle gentleman.

He has a straight-laced personality, and has been quite irritable recently due to logistical reasons.

Monk Thirteen said gently, "Gentlemen, please step back. I will leave this matter to this poor monk."

"Be kind and merciful to such old gentlemen."

Chen Tianyi glanced at him sideways, disdainful in his heart, but his face showed a look of willingness to cooperate, and he repeatedly said: "Master, please be merciful."

"Master has mercy."

"Please put away your magical powers."

"Please remove these three Yan Daiqings!"

Yan Daiqing: “…………”

"Humph!"

After bowing to Li Guanyi, he left.

Chen Tianyi no longer cared at all and just laughed out loud, feeling extremely proud.

But look at this monk, what abilities does he have!
The monk, who already had a compassionate look in his eyes, used his telepathy. Chen Tianyi lost all his martial arts and his eyes blurred. He thought that he was going to hear some nonsense about sermons and Buddhist Zen principles. He had already expected this.

But the development of this matter was completely different from what he expected.

Somehow, a wave of fiery energy rose up.

Chen Tianyi stiffened and slowly raised his head.

I... fuck?

Then, in his soul, he saw a monk as tall as a mountain, holding a boiling hot teapot in his hand, with compassionate eyes. Countless boiling water poured down with a sound like thunder, which made Chen Tianyi's mind distracted and stars appeared in his eyes.

"Have you let it go?!"

“Why don’t you put it down!”

"Evil creature, what did you let go of!!"

.....................

In the end, Chen Tianyi was overwhelmed by his telepathy, but he refused to say anything. However, the stick monk Thirteen took this opportunity to listen to Chen Tianyi's inner thoughts and said:

"So that's how it is. Although you are a master of the royal family, you are in the palace, taking the concubines and maids in the harem."

“Every day and every night, without stopping.”

"And that..."

Chen Tianyi was struck by lightning and was furious: "You, ahem, you don't want it!"

The monk clasped his hands together and said, "You have a 17-year-old illegitimate child."

Chen Tianyi's body stiffened.

Monk Thirteen said, "If you wish, I can go there in person and convert him to Buddhism. He will never know what you have done in his life."

After experiencing Wen Qingyu's methods, the former grandmaster's defenses were finally unable to withstand the methods of Stick Monk Thirteen.

Life and death, humiliation, could not defeat this former hero.

But when you are old, this name left behind.

This is the only bloodline.

But it was enough to break his mind.

Wen Qingyu said just right: "Your martial arts skills have been abolished. After you die, Chen Dingye will not burn incense and offer sacrifices to you."

Chen Tianyi was silent for a long time, his face was blank:

"Give me a good name and I'll tell you everything."

Chen Tianyi drew the entire Chen State border, secret passages, and many hidden mountain outposts that emerged from the secret realm on the feng shui map and marked them all.

Monk Thirteen said seriously, "Please also draw the path of the affair."

Li Guanyi went to discuss this matter with Mr. Pojun and others.

Po Jun was overjoyed and said, "The secret realm, and more than ten hidden bases in the mountains leading from the secret realm in the mountains to Jiangzhou City of Chen State, the defense map of the capital of Chen State, and a small path leading to the imperial palace?"

"Hmm? The path leading to the palace?"

Po Jun was suspicious, then said: "Forget it, it's a good thing!"

"Great, my lord. This way we can avoid the strong and attack the weak, and go straight to Huanglong."

"I have a plan."

The strategist, who was already in his thirties, grabbed Li Guanyi's sleeve, pointed directly at the geomancy map with bright eyes, and said:
"My lord, the Southwest Army uses rattan armor as armor and is good at leaping and charging in the mountains. In the past, my lord came from Zhenbei City to Jiangnan, and the journey was thousands of miles. But today is different from the past. The Southwest Army will follow this road and arrive outside Zhenbei City."

"My lord, lead your elite cavalry and ambush in the secret realm. When there is a change in the world, you can immediately seize the city of Chen State, block the pass, and seize its national destiny. If you want to attack the country, there is another way."

There was a bright purple light in Pojun's eyes, and he said firmly:
"Behead the leader of the country!"

"Their country will be destroyed!"

"The whole world is convinced!"

"My lord, if we can quickly capture Zhenbei City and Jiangzhou and kill Chen Dingye, then the State of Chen will not be in chaos. Chen Wenmian will call for help, and Xue Lao and Xue Daoyong will take action. With your reputation for benevolence, most of the cities of the State of Chen will surrender."

"The world is within easy reach!"

"And wasn't Zhenbei City also built by Senior Siming?"

He placed his palm on the geomancy map. The world was divided into three parts, and he would take two of them if possible.

It’s already because of Chen Tianyi’s existence.

And a gap was opened in front of Li Guanyi's troops.

…………

However, this matter cannot be rushed. There is a more urgent matter before Li Guanyi and others. The ceremony of conferring the title of king has also begun to progress.

The envoys from the States of Chen and Ying have already arrived in the south of the Yangtze River.

No matter how much Li Guanyi and others wanted to advance the new strategy, they could not do anything in front of these two envoys. Among them, the envoys from the State of Chen sent a large amount of gold, silver, beauties, and antique artifacts.

The envoys from Ying State also sent a large amount of gold, silver and beautiful women.

When the two envoys saw the palace where the King of Qin lived, they immediately expressed regret. The soldiers of the Qilin Army respected the King of Qin very much, so they were naturally unhappy when they saw the appearance of the two envoys, but they could not turn against him.

He just asked, "Is there anything wrong with you two doing this?"

The Chen envoy showed surprise on his face, and then he said repeatedly: "How dare we, how dare we, but we have heard that the King of Qin is a hero in the world, young and peerless, and is undoubtedly a first-class figure in the world, but the place where he lives is rather shabby."

"With this appearance, how can you be worthy of His Majesty the King of Qin's great reputation?!"

"I feel sorry for His Majesty the King of Qin."

The soldiers of the Qilin Army felt that there was some truth in what they said.

But he still said: "My king is different from Emperor Chen Huangying. He does not like luxury and enjoyment."

The envoys of the two countries also said: "The Qilin Army is frugal. We know that His Majesty the King of Qin loves the people. If you are willing, we are willing to bring craftsmen, gold and silver, and spend our own money to build a palace for His Majesty the King of Qin to congratulate him!"

In this case, the soldiers of the Qilin Army didn't know how to refute.

The envoys from the States of Chen and Ying secretly spread the news that such a courtyard was not worthy of the achievements of the King of Qin, there were no treasures to show the majesty of the King of Qin, and there were no beauties, singing and dancing, or musical instruments to show his composure.

It’s a pity, a huge pity.

For a while, the morale of the Qilin Army, which had won victory after victory, and the situation in the Tiance Mansion were also slightly shaken and became frivolous. This was also human nature. However, after Li Guanyi received such news, he only said:

"They are no match for us on the battlefield."

"Are you choosing this method now? Are you planning to corrupt us with gold, silver and beautiful women?"

Wen Lingjun said: "Many generals think that what they said makes sense. The students and officials in the academy also think that you should show your majesty and glory in the ceremony of enthroning the king, and you should comply with the rules from ancient times to the present."

Li Guanyi said: "...I see."

He stood up, holding the sword at his waist, and said, "The new family is finally beginning to emerge."

Wen Lingjun felt a hint of fierce energy.

Li Guanyi said: "With victory, there will be restlessness. With restlessness, one will be provoked. Throughout history, many heroes have fallen at this stage. We must not repeat the same mistakes."

"Thank you, Lord Lingjun, to tell Fan Qing that what he mentioned before should be put on the agenda."

"However, that matter cannot be rushed after all. The ceremony of crowning the king will be held soon."

Li Guanyi's eyes were filled with divine light.

There was a faint glow on the Jiuzhou Cauldron inside the body.

Li Guanyi has already understood that the Jiuzhou Ding is a vessel of the country. The more solemn and majestic the ceremony, the more it can attract good fortune. By attracting the Jiuzhou Ding and performing the ceremony of crowning the king in accordance with those ancient and majestic methods, the Jiuzhou Ding will definitely accumulate good fortune.

However, this time, Li Guanyi does not intend to follow this trend.

In the tide of secular world, we must always be able to stand firm and keep our hearts steady.

He held the sword and said slowly:
"I will clear this ray of dry air for you all."

"Reforge your heart."

Li Guanyi did not notice that when he had no intention of following the momentum of Jiuzhou Ding's possible revival, the light on Jiuzhou Ding slowly faded inwards, but did not disappear. Instead, it became darker and darker, as if it was pregnant with something.

The entire eighteenth state of Jiangnan was vaguely like the great sacrifice of the State of Chen that day, gathering people from different forces and systems from all over the world, including the State of Chen, the State of Ying, the Western Regions, the Southwest, the rivers and lakes, the court, the Central Plains, and even the Turks.

The last time this happened, Li Guanyi was one of the people on the edge of the vortex.

Now, he is the source of this vortex in the world.

Those who came might be for congratulations, fame, wealth, or to corrupt the young king's ambitions and exhaust his heroic spirit, all under the watchful eyes of so many forces.

The ceremony of enthroning a king.

Turn on.
