Chapter 456: You and I Three Agreements (asking for monthly tickets)

The sword pierced the heart, precisely and coldly.

The coldness of the sword spread, perhaps because of drinking too much or enjoying too much.

The first thing that the Ying royal family felt was not pain, but a cool touch. After this indescribable coolness spread in his heart, a tingling sensation appeared.

After this tingling sensation appears, it quickly spreads.

The drunkenness was dispelled, and he recognized who had come. After the initial shock, he was then filled with surprise and disbelief that were even more obvious than the feeling of death.

Because the person holding the sword could never and should never attack him!

"Li... Zhaowen?!.!"

Lengquan Hou murmured almost instinctively.

How could he be from the Li family?

Shouldn't they be trembling with fear, worried and frightened, and unable to sleep all night? How could she?!
Marquis Lengquan knew what kind of chain reaction his death would bring about. He knew that no matter how many hidden secrets and reasons there were behind it, no matter what the Duke thought or planned.

The court ministers and the royal family died in Xiyi City.

He died at the hands of the Duke's daughter.

There will be no room for the situation to turn around. Xiyi City will turn against Ying State, and this place surrounded by wars, which almost represents the initiative of the world situation in the next stage, will fall completely into the hands of King Qin. The one who personally influenced such a great situation in the world was not Duke Li, whom they had feared before, nor the old veterans and famous generals, but Li Zhaowen, who was only 19 years old this year.

How dare she? !

How could she have such determination and courage!
Under the Qilin, besides the Canglang, is there still a Phoenix...

The world's young heroes all have their own personalities and methods, but are there really so many of them?
Marquis Lengquan instinctively raised his hand to grab the sword and tried his best to pull the sword away, but he felt that the sword in the woman's hand was as heavy as iron, just like his heart, unshakable!

The nature of this body is different from that of the Qilin and the Canglang.

This sword will completely carve its own mark on the world!

Inch by inch, slowly going deeper.

The Black Armor Army has stepped in. They control everyone, holding heavy shields in their hands and wearing thick black armor. They have honed their tactics in actual combat. Mechanical crossbows lead the way, heavy shields press from behind, and in the gaps between shields are spears and halberds, with swords following closely. Without the slightest hesitation, they harvested those ministers from the capital of Ying State.

All the envoys from Ying State were killed.

The smell of blood became stronger, dispersing some of the smell of wine, meat, and powder, and then mixed together to form a mixed smell that was extremely shocking to the brain and made the heart tremble. Li Zhaowen stood here alone with a cold look on his face.

The defense of this area and the garrisons in the city had long been managed and controlled by Li Zhaowen. Li Zhaowen tried to relocate the people in this area by using the previous conflict between the ministers of Ying State and the people as an excuse.

Before, these ministers from the capital of Ying State were arrogant and looked down on the people of Xiyi City on the border.

The people were insulted and conflicts arose repeatedly, so Li Zhaowen simply moved the people away.

Regarding this matter, Marquis Lengquan joked with others at that time, saying that the Li family's Duke's Mansion was indeed afraid. He was still quite proud of this matter at that time. However, he thought that this was a great honor for the Minister, and did not expect that this was just the unsheathing of a sword.

There was silence, screams were heard, but no one came over. Instead, the sky seemed peaceful.

The screams gradually faded away and became smaller.

The Marquis's vitality quickly dissipated.

Although he also had fifth-level martial arts, how could he compare with the world-famous general who led the Black Armor Army? There was no room for struggle at all.

Blood continued to flow from the sword. Li Zhaowen calmly ended the life of the marquis and slowly drew out the sword. At this moment, all the ministers of Daying State died here, and the singers and servants were all controlled.

The transmission of intelligence messages was stuck.

Li Zhaowen is not the type of person who is arbitrary and murderous. After experiencing the hardships of the battlefield before, her immaturity was completely wiped out, and all her methods were mature and perfect. She watched all this happen quietly, knowing that from the moment she drew out the sword today, everything she cherished and cared about in the past would disappear.

The veil that maintained a semblance of peace was torn apart.

The past is really just the past.

Li Zhaowen looked at the envoy's mansion. The Black Armor Army mixed the Hou Zhongyu combustion powder they carried with them with the finest wine and sprinkled it in all directions. Li Zhaowen grabbed the torch and threw it down casually. The flames rose and engulfed the place. The girl held the helmet, and her slightly raised eyes reflected the raging flames, bright and calm.

The girl's scarlet battle robe with phoenix cloud pattern fluttered.

"ended."

she whispered.

When these three words fell, she broke away from the past decisively. She turned around, her sleeves fluttering, and her black hair rising at her temples. After taking this step, the peak of the Sixth Heaven, the barrier that had blocked her for four years, was silently shattered.

The raging flames behind him shot up into the sky and suddenly began to shake. The natural Dharma image once again demonstrated its power. Countless flames gathered together and were drawn by the phoenix, transforming into a phoenix. The phoenix flapped its wings, and the flames turned into pure gold. The golden phoenix rushed into the sky, illuminating the darkness like the sun.

Li Zhaowen——

The posture of dragon and phoenix, the appearance of sky and sun.

Boundary breakthrough.

Just this step.

The peak of the seventh heaven!
She had accumulated too much experience. Five years ago, she was already a natural Dharmakaya practitioner of the fifth level. She resolved the thousands of knots in her heart in one step, with an overwhelming momentum. Even at this moment, the afterglow was still lingering.

Originally, she only intended to kill the so-called minister of Ying State who wanted to attack Xiyi City, kill the so-called Marquis of Lengquan, and open up the road to the future from then on, and make her own decision. But after taking action, Li Zhaowen's mind was completely relaxed. She simply followed her mind and found a place. She no longer talked about anything, but just broke into the door easily.

Li Yuanchang has been living in a state of confusion these days.

The Lord of Anxi City, who did not get along well with him and ruined his previous plan, became more and more famous throughout the world - he shocked the four directions, gathered thousands of miles of territory, defeated the god of war, and won the hearts of the people of the world with three arrows. He had counselors and brave generals like rain and clouds under his command.

Moreover, since he was qualified to be called an emperor, he only called himself a king.

The name of loyalty, righteousness, benevolence and heroism can be spread throughout the world.

Li Yuanchang's life was not bad.

It’s just that Li Guanyi is so famous that no matter how much he wants to avoid hearing this name, no matter how much he doesn’t want to hear the story about this person, everyone in the world praises him. How can he not hear it just because he doesn’t want to?

Every time he heard others praising him, he felt as if there were poisonous tongues biting his heart, so he became more and more angry. However, anger was of no use at all. Instead, it made him feel incompetent and ridiculous.

Coupled with the change in the status of Xiyi City, he has been living in a daze for some time. Today he has been drinking all night and suddenly heard a noise coming from outside. At first he didn't intend to pay attention to it, but the noise gradually became louder and louder.

For some reason, he felt a slight shudder in his heart.

He was trembling because of this, but he became even more angry. In a daze, he smashed the jar of wine in his hand to the ground. He strode over barefoot in only loose clothes and shouted angrily: "What are you arguing about!"

"If you keep arguing, I will break all your limbs and sell them to traffickers, making your life harder than death for the rest of your life..."

His voice stopped abruptly.

A fierce and powerful wind spread out, and in the night, there was a mixture of the aroma of wine, and a hint of blood. The night wind with the scent of iron armor blew over. The maids holding lamps on both sides trembled, and the swaying light covered the face of the visitor, and the black armor slightly reflected a layer of cold light.

Clear outlines and sharp eyes.

She is Li Yuanchang's second sister, with whom he has always had a bad relationship.

In the past, he was very dissatisfied with Li Zhaowen. If it were normal times, he would have been irritated by Li Zhaowen pushing the door and would have started to yell. However, now Li Zhaowen was looking at Li Yuanchang calmly as if he was looking down at him.

The armor and blood-stained battle robe, and the night sky behind her seemed like a cloak behind her. A feeling of oppression, as if looking at a mountain and being completely overwhelmed by the heavy momentum, gripped Li Yuanchang's throat.

His lips trembled and his Adam's apple rose and fell.

"Second sister..., what are you going to do?"

"doing what?"

Li Zhaowen chuckled.

As Li Yuanchang watched in fear, he raised the sword in his hand.

then-

Smash it hard!

………………

When Li Jianwen realized something was wrong and rushed over, he heard an extremely shrill scream. After a while, the scream stopped and the voice was begging for mercy with a kind of fear, listing all the wrong things it had done.

Li Jianwen's heart was shaking as he rushed in. He saw his third brother lying there. Li Yuanchang's legs were twisted abnormally and his body was covered in blood. He supported himself on the ground with his elbows and kept moving backwards. Li Zhaowen, wearing armor, stood there calmly with his battle robe fluttering. He seemed to have sensed Li Jianwen's presence and glanced at him sideways.

Li Jianwen's heart trembled, and he shouted: "Second sister, no!"

Li Zhaowen seemed not to have heard the shout at all and suddenly drew his sword.

The long sword pierced through the air and stabbed down!
Li Jianwen's heart almost stopped at the sound of the sword. His vision went dark and he gasped for breath. Then he saw that Li Zhaowen's sword was almost grazing Li Yuanchang's cheek and was nailed into his face. The blood-stained sword was deeply embedded in the bricks and stones, making a murderous low hum.

Li Yuanchang's face was pale, almost without any blood color.

There was deathly silence between heaven and earth.

Li Zhaowen stood up and when he walked past Li Jianwen, he threw a spare jade token into Li Jianwen's arms and said calmly:
"My martial arts skills are useless, my limbs are broken, I leave them to you, big brother."

Li Jianwen said: "You, want to go..."

Li Zhaowen didn't answer him, but just left.

Li Yuanchang choked with sobs, supported himself on his elbows and knees and crawled to Li Jianwen's side. He reached out and grabbed Li Jianwen's sleeves, tears streaming down his face, crying, "Brother, brother, my second sister is crazy, she's crazy, she wants to kill me, brother!"

He was hit by Li Zhaowen with the scabbard of his sword, causing his bones to be broken and his dantian to be destroyed.

He looked extremely miserable, with his right leg broken. Li Zhaowen breathed a sigh of relief, feeling much better in his heart. Li Jianwen hurriedly helped his brother up. He and his brother usually had a good relationship, but now something happened suddenly, and although he didn't know what happened, he still felt heartbroken when he saw such a tragic scene.

Li Yuanchang kept saying things that sounded like Li Zhaowen was crazy.

Then act pitifully and cry.

Li Jianwen comforted him, but he looked at the jade token in his hand, and he finally became curious and subconsciously aroused——

The power of the Yin-Yang family was activated, and immediately what was heard was Li Yuanchang's laughter. That unrestrained and calm laughter mixed with Li Yuanchang's half-genuine, half-pretended crying voice at this moment, which was indescribably weird.

Along with a low humming sound and the mobilization of vital energy, the figures of Li Yuanchang and the women of the Demon Sect appeared in front of Li Jianwen and Li Yuanchang in a way that was reproduced by the means of the Yin-Yang School. They were vivid, real and effective.

This was a method taught by Siming, and the silver-haired girl went to take the photo herself.

Li Zhaowen personally brought three pots of fine wine and asked Lao Siming to personally reproduce it. It was like being there.

Along with the virtual image, Li Yuanchang's unrestrained and free-spirited voice, as well as his plan to use his father to trample his elder brother and second sister into the mud, were heard. Li Yuanchang's crying stopped, and he felt a trembling feeling.

He felt the hand supporting his shoulder suddenly become hard.

The eldest brother's usually gentle hands grasped his shoulders like iron weapons.

Li Yuanchang raised his head stiffly, little by little.

Seeing his elder brother lower his eyes and look at him, the warmth in his eyes gradually faded away, and Li Yuanchang's body trembled:

"Brother, brother, I was wrong. I was really wrong."

"It was them. They drugged me. They bewitched me, brother!"

"We are brothers from the same father and mother. Blood is thicker than water, brother. I was really wrong!"

“Brother, brother!!!”

Li Yuanchang's voice begging for mercy paused and immediately turned into a scream.

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

Li Zhaowen has untied the knot in his heart and no longer cares about what happens next.

Before she took action, she had already cut off the entire Xiyi City's information intelligence system, and her own people were stationed on both sides of the city gate.

At this moment, he picked up the sword and went to the Duke's Mansion. In the Duke's Mansion, Duke Li was in a daze. This place had been controlled by the Black Armor Army. This group of Black Armor Army were all absolutely elite soldiers who had fought in the battlefield before. When the armor plates collided, they made extremely murderous and cold sounds. They were silent and experienced, and surrounded the Duke's Mansion with a formation.

Duke Li drew his sword and said coldly: "Are you going to rebel!!!"

The Black Armor Army just said they dared not.

Li Shude said: "Then, get out of the way!!"

However, this group of Black Armored Soldiers just stood there with their hands clasped respectfully, not doing anything disrespectful, but they absolutely refused to move aside. Li Shude was shocked, angry and anxious, worried that they would kill each other, and he was about to chop down with the sword in his hand.

A hand reached out and grabbed Li Shude's wrist.

The palm was so strong and powerful that Li Shude was unable to break free for a while.

Li Shude looked and saw that it was Xiahou Duan, the famous general who had fought with him in the world since they were young. Even in the desperate situation of Yemen Pass, he still followed Li Shude, lived and died together, and never betrayed him. He stopped Li Shude.

Xiahou Duan whispered, "My Lord, the Second Miss has her own ideas."

"I will never do anything excessive."

Li Shude was stunned and found that Xiahou Duan's gaze shifted and he refused to look at him.

Li Shude suddenly had an epiphany.

This famous general, who was absolutely loyal to him and was even willing to go through fire and water for him, also leaned towards Li Zhaowen on this matter. How did his daughter gain the recognition of people like Xiahou Duan?

Is it her who conquered the world, or her young age and ranking 27th on the list of Godly Generals?
Or, is it that this daughter whom he thought could not escape from his control has actually already exceeded his expectations and control?

At this moment, Li Shude suddenly had a feeling that the situation was hopeless. The previous feeling of anxiety and anger, the power that seemed to make his entire body explode, disappeared in an instant and was pulled out of his body.

His hand lost its strength and the sword fell to the ground.

At this moment, the place where the envoys of Ying State lived was burned by flames. The phoenix's Dharma image flapped its wings and flew up from the flames. The golden flames made the entire sky bright, like the rising sun.

And at this strange moment when the phoenix was ascending in the sky, Duke Li saw his daughter walking towards him covered in blood. The fierce majesty and cold murderous intent spread out.

Li Shude's voice trembled: "You, you..."

Li Zhaowen threw down the scabbard and said, "Father, I have made a choice for you."

Li Shude asked in a trembling voice: "You killed your brother?"

Li Zhaowen looked at Li Shude and said, "No."

Li Shude didn't know what to do for a moment, and staggered back half a step. This time, he retreated out of relief, fear of the fierce voice of the child in front of him, or perhaps, the relief of being able to escape after finally making a choice in the world, or the fear for his daughter.

He himself doesn't know it.

Li Shude was in a trance for a moment, then he coughed up a mouthful of blood and fell backwards.

Xiahou Duan's face changed drastically. He personally equipped himself with a sword, supported Duke Li's arm, and went inside to rest.

On that day, the entire Xiyi City was under an intelligence blockade, especially for the people from Ying State. No matter what their background or origin, they could not leave Xiyi City.

On the second day, Duke Li, who had fainted and suffered injuries, woke up and was extremely weak.

He summoned the civil and military officials of the Duke's Mansion and said that he was old. Yesterday, a fire broke out in the mansion of Lengquan Marquis of Ying State, burning down a large part of it. He was no longer able to lead Xiyi City in this chaotic world.

To choose a new successor.

There were also civil and military officials and generals in the Duke's Mansion. They looked at each other and did not see the Third Young Master.

However, Li Jianwen, who had always been known to treat others as a gentle gentleman, had many bruises on his fists for some unknown reason.

That mark didn't look like an accidental collision.

It was more like he was filled with absolute anger and hostility, constantly swinging his fists and hitting something hard, and ended up hurting himself. There were also faint rumors that the third son, Li Yuanchang, seemed to have accidentally fallen off the bed while drinking and having fun.

What a miserable fall!
His arms, legs, wrists and ankles were all broken.

I can only lie in bed and recuperate.

There are certainly hidden secrets involved, but the civil and military officials in the Duke's Mansion in Xiyi City are able to gain a foothold in this extremely critical strategic location. They are all smart people and understand the truth very well.

Don’t say what you shouldn’t say, and don’t be curious about things you shouldn’t be curious about.

You shouldn't ask, no matter how strange something is happening right under your nose.

Don’t even ask that!
However, just when everyone was thinking that perhaps the eldest son would take over this position, Li Shude's eyes fell on Li Zhaowen who was standing there calmly, and said: "...The position of Duke will be passed to Zhaowen."

"One day, I will write down the details and report to Your Majesty."

So everyone was shocked.

The Lord of Xiyi City is called a Duke, but in fact he has enormous power, especially under the current situation, he is worthy of being called a king. He has his own government, his own troops, famous generals, and an extraordinary status.

Under such circumstances, it was extremely abnormal that it was temporarily transferred to Li Zhaowen.

There were already some perceptive people who sensed that the situation was escalating. Trembling in their hearts, they quickly controlled their minds and dared not think about it anymore. Amidst the astonished, frightened and panicked gazes of the crowd, Li Zhaowen stepped out of the crowd, slowly bowed and saluted.

After taking the seal and turning around, he had become the Duke.

Ripples appeared in the void, and a golden phoenix image appeared there, flapping its wings and flying up. Luck and military momentum gathered together, following the final afterglow, it took a step forward!
Similarly, in troubled times, there are thousands of knots, and some people cut them off with swords.

Someone burned it with fire.

Some people also break it by force.

Li Zhaowen.

First entering the eighth heaven!
The civil and military officials of the government all saluted and said:
"We, here to see the Duke!"

………………

Li Zhaowen changed her armor and battle robe only after the matter was over, and took a hot bath to stimulate her spirit and calm her down. The high spirit in her eyes gradually dissipated and became lazy.

On the second day, a series of changes began in Xiyi City, the most critical place in the world. The presence of the Black Armor Army appeared everywhere, some people were arrested, and some news was intercepted. Officials and aristocratic families were like frightened birds, but the people were still just living their lives.

Just talking about the arrogant marquis who came from Ying State, when he was drinking, he was probably too happy and accidentally ignited some silk and other easily ignited things and burned himself.

Everyone just cursed and said, "He deserved to die."

Speaking of which, the dissolute Third Young Master threw himself onto the bed.

You can't curse in front of everyone.

I also have to say it in private, it’s a good thing you fell.

Li Zhaowen, dressed in casual clothes and still carrying a sword, rode his horse out of Xiyi City. This time, Xiyi City was no longer controlled by others, and it took the initiative to choose from the chaotic world instead of being swept away as in the past.

She quietly looked at Xiyi City in winter and patted the neck of her mount with her hand, her expression calm. She thought of the day when one of the six horses ridden by Li Guanyi was killed by the Wolf King and when he was buried, she made three promises with Li Guanyi.

Regarding these three agreements, Li Zhaowen felt a little flustered and panicked at that time. He said that he had not thought about it yet and would talk about it after he had thought it through.

If she were an ordinary woman, she might have been led by the heart-throb at that moment and made some gentle promises, saying that they would be together for life and that they would be together through life and death.

But she is Li Zhaowen after all, a fierce phoenix, with her eyes looking at the whole world, wearing solemn armor and holding an icy sword in her hand. She wrote her own letter and sent it to Jiangnan with a smart flying eagle. Li Guanyi unfolded the letter and glanced at it.

"Brother Li, I haven't seen you for a long time. How are you doing recently? I have a younger brother named Li Yuanchang. Brother Li should still remember him. He is quite rude and a playboy. But he is my brother from the same father and mother after all. I can't kill him, but if I keep him, I am worried that there may be hidden dangers. After thinking about it, I suddenly came up with a foolproof plan."

"If possible, I hope to hand him over to Mr. Wen He and Wen Qingyu for some instruction."

Li Guanyi was silent for a moment, then suddenly thought of Chen Tianyi, and the corners of his mouth twitched.

'If you wish'

He muttered to himself, took the tea and read the following text, and saw that it said:
"Do you still remember the agreement we made outside Anxi City? I hadn't thought of one at that time, but now I have one."

"So, my first promise is..."

Li Guanyi's eyes paused when he glanced at the free and easy words. Even though they were friends of many years, he was also disappointed and dazed for a moment.

Li Zhaowen already saw the vast world in his eyes.

Li Zhaowen then made his move into the game.

Li Guanyi and Li Zhaowen made three appointments that day.

One of them—

At this time, the world is changing drastically, with storms rising and clouds surging, wars spreading everywhere, and people are confronting each other vehemently.

[The King of Qin accepts Xiyi City]!
