Chapter 94: Po Jun Meets White Tiger

As soon as Li Guanyi left the Taoist temple, no one stopped him.

These monks were specially selected. They were big and fat. They did not even reach the second floor. Before entering the country, such physique was very advantageous. They were beaten to the ground with a tough green bamboo and allowed the young man to leave and walk away.

Li Guan jumped onto his horse and threw the green bamboo with his backhand.

He was very strong and had great martial arts skills. He threw the green bamboo thirty or forty feet away and it landed at its original position. Then he pulled the reins, and the maroon horse neighed loudly and rode away, free and unrestrained. The monks no longer had the energy to cause trouble as before, and they just kept crying out "ouch, ouch".

It was gradually getting dark. Li Guanyi rode a horse, carrying the Qilin formation diagram on his back, to a secluded place. The energy of the bronze tripod flowed into his eyes, and he used the Yin-Yang school's qi-gazing technique. While ensuring safety, he found a piece of white paper and frantically copied out a formation diagram at the speed of making cheat sheets in the past.

After comparing, he rolled up the scroll again.

He mounted his horse and headed towards the Suzaku Gate of the Chen State Palace. Suzaku was located in the south, which was also the South Gate. The emperor of the palace sat facing north and south, so this was the main gate of the palace. It was solemn and majestic, with a wide road. When important events happened, all the officials of the court would pass through here to attend court.

Within a certain range, mounts are prohibited and warriors are prohibited from using light skills.

The crossbows in the palaces of various countries have a record of shooting a martial arts master into a hedgehog with a volley of arrows.

When they arrived near the imperial palace, Li Guanyi dismounted and tied his mount to a willow tree by the roadside.

Then he walked away quickly with the scroll on his back. The five palace guards who came towards him had stern faces. They were all wearing armor and holding spears. When they saw Li Guanyi coming in, they put their spears down and shouted, "Stop, who are you?!"

Li Guanyi bowed slightly and replied:
"Li Guanyi of Jiangzhou."

"I am sending something to Suzaku Gate on behalf of our ancestor, Grand Secretary Wen Yuanzu."

The palace guard asked, "Grand Scholar?"

"Is there any proof?"

He had indeed given instructions before. He glanced at Li Guanyi from under his iron helmet and saw that although Li Guanyi's clothes were quite good, this was the capital city. There were more dignitaries than ants, and there were countless people who could afford to wear silk and satin.

But when he saw the rhino horn belt around the boy's waist, the expression on his face relaxed.

When he saw the superior Kunlun white jade pendant, his face froze.

Then react quickly.

He dodged to both sides, bowed respectfully, and said politely: "It turns out that Lord Li is here."

"Please, please!"

Li Guanyi sighed in his heart.

The eyesight of the palace guards is indeed very strong.

He bowed slightly in return and strode into the outer perimeter of the imperial palace. The towering walls were painted red and only the sound of footsteps could be heard, but no sound of conversation. The palace women and eunuchs all had their hands folded on their stomachs, lowered their heads, leaned forward, and walked quickly.

When he met Li Guanyi, he did not speak a word, but just bowed slightly to show his respect.

Then she walked away from him in small steps.

There was no need for words. The oppressive feeling of the palace was already overwhelming like a monster. Li Guanyi was free. He arrived in front of the Suzaku Gate and made a report. Soon a eunuch came out. He was wearing a round-necked purple robe, a jade belt, and had a white face and no beard, with a smile on his face.

When he saw Li Guanyi, he was slightly surprised, then he bowed and smiled:
"I was wondering who it was. The magpies kept chirping in the yard today. It turned out to be Captain Li."

This person was none other than the eunuch in charge of ceremonies who had previously delivered the imperial edict to the Xue family. Li Guanyi's heart moved slightly, knowing that the matter of Qilin Palace was indeed important. Even the matter of handing over the formation map had to be personally handled by the eunuch in charge of ceremonies in purple.

The eunuch in charge of ceremonies looked closely at the young captain in front of him.

But when he first saw Li Guanyi, he was surprised at first.

I felt in my heart that the boy in front of me was different from the one I had met before.

Before, he was heroic and full of youthful vigor.

When they met again today, he had become gentler, as unrestrained and carefree as a Jiangnan knight. It was like two different people from before. Such a change was like the misty rain in Jiangnan, difficult to detect. The eunuch in charge of ceremonies changed his mind in an instant.

I just feel that the young captain in front of me may have a change in temperament because he has finally achieved success.

Li Guanyi returned the greeting, took the formation diagram off his back, handed it over with both hands, and said:

"I went to visit the ancestors today."

"The grandfather asked me to deliver this formation diagram, but I didn't expect to see you again."

The eunuch in charge of ceremonies was surprised, then smiled and said, "So that's how it is."

"I've heard for a long time that Mr. Zu and Grand Secretary Wang Tong both think highly of Captain Li. Seeing it today, it's true. They really treat the captain as their own son or nephew." He took the scroll, turned around and handed it to his confidant, asking the confidant to hold it, then turned around and greeted the young man.

The matter of the Qilin Palace formation is both important and unimportant.

The reason why it is important is the fire Qilin in the Qilin Palace.

It is not important because the Qilin rioted today and people thought the formation had lost its effect, so they hurriedly sent it to the Taoist temple and asked Zu Wenyuan to calculate it; but in fact, the Qilin was quickly sealed and locked by the formation, and there was no problem with the operation of the formation itself.

The alchemists examined for two hours and finally reached a conclusion.

Rather than saying that the Qilin changed because of a flaw in the formation, it would be more accurate to say that the blocked Qilin suddenly became emotional and attacked the formation recklessly, leading to today's changes.

People in the palace who knew about this were curious.

I don’t know what happened to this Qilin.

Why would you go so crazy?

The alchemists strengthened the formation, increasing the number of chains from eight to eighteen, and the strength of suppression was also increased. The Qilin was trapped at this moment. The eunuch in charge of ceremonies knew the seriousness of the situation, and at this moment he thought it would be a good idea to have a chat with the young military officer who was highly regarded by the imperial concubine.

Besides, there are other important things happening today, and he needs to wait here.

After a brief exchange of greetings, Li Guan said, "Before I came here, I didn't know that my country of Chen also had a mythical beast like the Qilin protecting it."

The eunuch in charge of ceremonies bowed towards the palace and said with a smile, "Yes, our Great Chen has a sage emperor, famous ministers like clouds, and scholars like rain. The orthodox cultural vein of the world is here, the nine provinces are here, and the hearts of the people of the world are here. This is an invincible place, and auspicious signs will naturally appear. I wish to stay by your majesty's side."

"Since ancient times, Qilin has been willing to stay in the palace unless it is a gentleman or a saint."

"Isn't this proof that he is the emperor of Dachen and a saint?"

"The emperor was grateful and terrified, so he built the Qilin Palace for the auspicious sign to live in. He also sent famous people from all over the world to cast this Four-Elephant Guarding Array to protect the Qilin in the Qilin Palace from being disturbed by outsiders. This is the array sent by Captain Li."

The eunuch in charge of ceremonies had a reserved smile on his face and was respectful, and his words seemed to come from the heart.

Li Guan looked at him, and even though he had murderous intent in his heart and was about to draw his sword, there was no change in his expression.

He had been on the run for ten years and had already trained himself. He smiled and said, "That's right."

"Congratulations to the Saint Emperor."

The eunuch in charge of ceremonies said, "Congratulations to the Holy Emperor!"

Li Guanyi said: "There is nothing more auspicious than the Qilin in the world, but I don't know how I can have the chance to see the Qilin."

The eunuch in charge of ceremonies laughed and said, "Everyone wants to see the Qilin. Captain Li, you are not the first one to tell me this. The children of other noble families and military families all want to see the Qilin. However, the Qilin is a good omen and a blessing for the country. How can it be easily displayed to the public?"

"Even the prince has no chance to see it."

Li Guanyi showed a hint of regret on his face, and then the eunuch smiled and said, "However, Captain Li is lucky today. If you are not in a hurry to leave, why not stop here? Maybe you can meet some noble people?"

Li Guanyi was surprised.

The eunuch in charge of ceremonies wanted to make friends with him, so he smiled softly and said, "The Ying Kingdom is now on good terms with our Great Chen. The ruler of the Ying Kingdom sent his crown prince and the second prince as envoys to our Great Chen. Today, His Majesty is hosting a banquet in the palace to entertain the envoys from the Ying Dynasty and the seven kings of the Turkic Empire. They should be here soon."

The Crown Prince of Ying?!
If the Prince of Ying State comes, doesn’t it mean that—a name flashed through Li Guanyi’s mind.

boom! ! !
Almost at the time when he thought of this name, the sound of horse hooves hitting bluestone slabs was heard in the distance, like the beating of war drums. Li Guan turned sideways and saw someone riding a war horse coming towards him on the other side of the narrow imperial road. The carriage of Ying State was not stopped.

The emperor's decree specifically allowed them to go all the way to the Suzaku Gate.

The carriage was luxurious and solemn, with the style of the royal family of Ying State, but it did not overshadow the main event. The palace guards of Chen State were surrounding it and escorting it, surrounded by armor and flags. It was a majesty that was enough to make people sigh. However, all of this lost its color in the eyes of Li Guanyi.

The young man's body tensed.

The bronze tripod hummed violently, and the image of a white tiger rose up and appeared beside him.

However, unlike the majestic roars of the past, the White Tiger Dharmakaya's body was tense at this moment. He lowered his body, exhaled, and stared at the front with his eyes.

Li Guanyi's gaze fell on the man in the front. He was riding an inky black warhorse with its head almost ten feet above the ground. As he moved forward, his muscles moved slightly like a dragon, his horse's mane swayed, and his eyes were as fierce as a beast. The man was clearly wearing a battle robe instead of armor, but he had the majesty of a general in armor.

In Li Guanyi's eyes, behind the man, an extremely huge white tiger was walking slowly.

The white tiger was almost as huge as a mountain!
It formed a very sharp contrast with that man.

The majestic and terrifying momentum was enough to scare the troops into submission.

Ranked fifth on the list of the world's most powerful generals.

Yuwen Lie!
As if it was guidance from the unknown, when Li Guanyi's gaze fell on Yuwen Lie, the indifferent gaze of this most powerful general in the world paused, and suddenly dropped to the young man over there.

At this moment, ripples suddenly appeared in the heart of this top general.

Almost instinctively, he suddenly felt an extremely strong murderous intent and hostility in his heart, and locked onto the young man - this kind of intuitive perception had saved Yuwen Lie's life more than once, and the sudden appearance at this moment was far stronger than any previous time!

The god's thought was of great significance. In an instant, it seemed as if a tremendous murderous intent crashed down, and there was a murderous atmosphere between heaven and earth. The eunuch in charge of ceremonies had powerful skills, but at this moment he had no resistance at all. His eyes blurred, and he felt as if he had arrived at an extremely murderous battlefield.

He saw countless swords, spears, and halberds pointing at him, and he could smell blood.

The guards in front of the Suzaku Gate were stiff, their pupils contracted, and their breathing became stiff. The stars in the sky became dim in the face of such evil spirit. Li Guanyi was the first to be hit. He felt his body stiff, his blood cold, and his scalp tingling.

It felt as if the divine general before him would draw his sword and charge towards him in the next moment. This was a warrior of a high level, one of the top ten divine generals in the world, and yet he showed murderous intent towards a mere captain.

If they were normal, they would be like the guards on the left and right, pale and unsteady under the aftermath of the murderous intent, and would lower their heads like the eunuch in charge of ceremonies, not daring to look into Yuwen Lie's eyes. However, at this moment, Li Guanyi felt a surge of evil and murderous aura in his heart.

He once drew his sword and slashed at the number one general in the world.

At this moment, past experiences turned into support, the young man straightened his back and held the knife with one hand.

He raised his head slowly and looked at Yuwen Lie over there.

The two people looked into each other's eyes.

Above the sky, the seven stars of the White Tiger are bright.

At the same time, the Turkic chariot had also arrived. The seven Turkic kings, wearing the complicated and solemn costumes of the grassland, followed the Ying State's chariot, and the handsome military advisor also came with him. The seven kings were pulling the arm of the military advisor Pojun and sternly warning Pojun in Turkish.

Never, ever act recklessly.

This is not a grassland.

Don't attack the concubines in the emperor's harem and so on.

Pojun was too lazy to pay attention to him.

While thinking about where to find the White Tiger Sect, he went with the carriage of Ying State this time, willing to help the Seventh Prince discuss marriage and alliance with the prince of Ying State. His target was the famous general Yuwen Lie. It was said that the divine general possessed the image of the White Tiger, looked down upon everything, and could destroy a country by himself.

Isn't this the real White Tiger Sect?

I have met him before, and he is indeed a dignified and majestic person, definitely not an ordinary person. He is domineering and sharp, with the style of ancient overlords. I plan to talk to him again today. When the seven Turkic kings were sternly warning him, suddenly there was a continuous sound of horses neighing, and all the carriages stopped.

A cold chill rose from the bottom of everyone's heart.

They couldn't help but shiver. It felt as if a weapon had been extended out and pressed against their foreheads. The next moment, the weapon would go straight forward, pierce through the vital points and take their lives. Pojun shuddered, raised his head, and was stunned.

He saw the White Tiger in the sky shining brightly.

Pojun's eyes suddenly widened.

"White Tiger Sect?!"

And there is such murderous intent, could it be Yuwen Lie? !
He suddenly became excited and jumped off the carriage. The Seventh Prince asked, "What are you doing?"

"Chen Palace, don't run around! Be careful of getting beheaded!"

Then he saw his military advisor stop in his tracks.

Turn around and come back.

The Seventh Prince felt relieved, thinking that this guy was finally able to listen to others.

I saw Pojun jump onto the car, then grab myself and jump off again.

"I might get my head chopped off myself."

"But if you are still here, you will be criticized at most."

Po Jun turned around and explained his life-saving talisman, which made the Seventh Prince dumbfounded. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but he had to follow him. Po Jun pulled the Seventh Prince forward. The palace guards were frightened by the evil spirit and could not stop them, so they quickly rushed to the front.

Pojun slowed down.

He saw the dragon-like mount and the divine general on the horse.

Po Jun's eyes lit up and he became excited. He muttered something. He immediately released the Seventh Prince's arm and stared at Yuwen Lie without blinking. He murmured in his heart, "A god-like general with the demeanor of a hegemon! His skills and realm are unmatched in the world."

"Such a divine general can destroy a city and a country in his thirties. He can lead an army of thousands of cavalry to fight for thousands of miles. When his evil spirit moves, the seven stars of the White Tiger will change."

"That's right. That's right."

"This is the White Tiger Sect! Such generosity, such elegance, only this is the White Tiger Sect!"

The Seventh Prince was annoyed: "Is the person you are looking for Yuwen Lie?"

Pojun did not answer. He was delighted when he confirmed the identity of Baihu Sect.

Suddenly he was curious, who made Yuwen Lie so angry? His sight shifted, and he followed Yuwen Lie's sight and fell on the young man over there. He saw that he was not strong enough, that his back was straight, his brows were calm, one hand was on the knife, and his black hair was slightly raised.

just like……

Just like the man holding the spear in the sandstorm that day.

Pojun's body suddenly froze.

The Seventh Prince noticed that Pojun, who was excited when he saw Yuwen Lie showing off his power, suddenly calmed down. Just as he was curious, Pojun turned around and grabbed the Seventh Prince's arm with one hand.

No longer as excited as when I first saw Yuwen Lie, but, try hard!
He used so much force that it seemed as if he almost broke the Seventh King's arm.

Even Pojun's own hands were so tight that the bones turned white.

He stared at the young man over there, and had no intention of looking away like he had just done.

Gritting teeth and keeping calm.

He spoke word by word:
"who is he!"
