Chapter 426 Qingzhou's Decision

White House.

Xiao Qiaoniang held little Bai An in her arms and looked at Bai Yuan who was walking out the door reluctantly.

"Brother Yuan, An'er and I will be waiting for you at home."

"Ah."

Bai Yuan nodded.

If you want to survive this chaos, you can't just hide in Lingzhou.

Yesterday, he received a message from Li Huan in Qingzhou, saying that the Qingzhou Palace hoped that the governor Bai Yuan could send troops to reinforce.

Ever since Mr. Yuan left, no one could control the monsters and barbarians in Beiyuan anymore. Large numbers of powerful monsters invaded the south, and the entire northern border suffered terribly.

The King of Qingzhou was summoned to the capital and has not returned since.

Qingzhou was completely unable to resist with only the strong men left in the Qingzhou Palace, so they had to ask for help.

As the governor in charge of the four Shuofang states, Bai Yuan would naturally not stand by and watch anything happen in Qingzhou.

Moreover, his relationship with the Qingzhou Palace has always been good. With Li Huan around, it would be difficult for him to stand idly by.

That's why he immediately led his troops to Qingzhou to quell the rebellion. Otherwise, if Qingzhou was in chaos, the other three continents would also suffer. He certainly would not allow such a situation to happen.

A team of a thousand people rushed out of Huanglongfu and headed for Qingzhou.

Three days later, Bai Yuan appeared in the Qingzhou Palace.

The King of Qingzhou's sons were all waiting to greet him at the door.

Even though Li Huan has the best relationship with Bai Yuan, he can only be ranked in the second tier.

Standing at the front was the eldest son, Li You.

Li You saw Bai Yuan appear and quickly walked over to him: "Master Bai, you have worked hard. I thank you on behalf of my father."

In the absence of King Qingzhou, he has become the person in charge of this palace.

However, Li You does have the confidence. His strength is the strongest among the many descendants of the King of Qingzhou. Breaking through the Mingxin Pass is a foregone conclusion. In addition, he has the longest seniority, and the strength of the Jiuji Prefecture he is in charge of is also superior to other prefectures in Qingzhou.

Although Li Huan's momentum has been growing in recent years, he is still far from being a threat to Li You.

Bai Yuan bowed and said, "Greetings, His Royal Highness."

But his attitude was not very intimate, and there was no flattery at all.

Li You was not at all displeased about this. Bai Yuan was now the Grandmaster Mingxin and a senior official of the second rank who held power over four continents. The Qingzhou Palace was not even qualified to win over such a figure. There was really no need for Bai Yuan to please the Qingzhou Palace. In fact, it should be Li You who should please him.

This was indeed the case, and Li You behaved very respectfully.

Although his younger brother Li Huan has a close relationship with Bai Yuan, he asked himself if he could do it.

Li You invited Bai Yuan into the lobby of the palace, and deliberately left the seat belonging to the King of Qingzhou vacant. He sat on Bai Yuan's left and gave up the seat of honor.

"Master Bai, the monsters from the Northern Plains are heading south, and the Qingzhou Palace's army is powerless to resist. We are truly ashamed."

Bai Yuan turned around and asked Li Huan: "How many monsters are there in Qingzhou?"

Seeing that Bai Yuan ignored him and asked his younger brother, Li You's eyes flashed with surprise.

Li Huan, who was sitting three meters away from Bai Yuan, was stunned for a moment, then his heart warmed: "There is one eighth-level, more than ten seventh-level, more than a hundred sixth-level, and more than a thousand fifth-level."

How could he not see that Bai Yuan was deliberately supporting him?

The power of a Grand Master Mingxin is still very great, and his status in Qingzhou is likely to be greatly improved.

Bai Yuan nodded: "Okay, my princes, the war is urgent, why not lead the troops to destroy the monster immediately."

"Master Bai is righteous."

Li You praised.

As the eldest prince, his title as King of Qingzhou was incredibly secure, so he had some broad-mindedness, and Bai Yuan's coming to Qingzhou was indeed of great help to him.

Bai Yuan led more than a thousand demon cavalrymen northward in a swift and resolute manner. Li You specially called Li Huan to lead the troops with him to follow Bai Yuan to kill the demons.

The northern border of Qingzhou.

The corpse of a gigantic elephant monster, more than ten feet long, lay in the forest, like a small hill.

Li You and Li Huan looked at Bai Yuan in disbelief as he was covered in blood and killing monsters.

Naturally, it is all the blood of the elephant monster.

Bai Yuan was like a human-shaped beast without any skills. He wrestled fiercely with the elephant monster, and finally smashed the elephant monster to death with his fists.

Even though the two were knowledgeable and experienced, they had never seen such a scene.

That's an eighth-level elephant monster that's on par with Grandmaster Mingxin. Even if the King of Qingzhou comes, he must be careful to deal with it, and killing it is absolutely impossible.

Bai Yuan took the towel handed to him by a commander and wiped his face.

Another tens of thousands of enhancement points were obtained.

And when he goes to Beiyuan Cave, he can double his happiness.

Li Huan was proud of his brothers' mighty battle. He laughed and walked forward: "A Yuan, I remember there is a clear lake about a mile away from here. Why don't we go there to wash off the blood stain?"

Bai Yuan was delighted: "That's exactly what I meant."

He just likes to kill monsters, he is not a pervert, and he does not have any special fetish for enjoying bloodbaths.

He immediately followed Li Huan and disappeared into the forest.

Li You looked at Li Huan's disappearing figure, his eyes full of envy.

There are many things in this world that once the opportunity is missed, it will never come back. He had known his younger brother Li Huan before Bai Yuan became famous, so naturally their friendship was not something he could compare with just by wanting to.

After spending some time together, he realized that he would never have the chance to develop such a deep friendship with Bai Yuan in this lifetime.

But he also began to re-examine his younger brother.

Although the competition for the King of Qingzhou is not as cruel as that of the royal family, it is not much better. His grandfather had a total of ten princes, but only two or three are still alive. Most of them died in the competition for the King of Qingzhou. Yes, they were all killed by the current King of Qingzhou.

Li You felt that if Li Huan was willing to give up the throne, he would let Li Huan go even for Bai Yuan's sake.

Even if Li Huan wanted, he could make Li Huan the uncle who was second only to the emperor and above everyone else.

All this is because Bai Yuan’s value is so great.

Among the mountains and forests, a small lake ten meters in diameter was filled with blood.

After Bai Yuan finished washing, he walked ashore and took the clean clothes from Li Huan. After changing, he exclaimed in relief.

Li Huan then spoke up: "A Yuan, you are indeed the most promising among us brothers."

What he actually wanted to say was that among the younger generation of Xuanyang, no one could be a match for Bai Yuan.

Although he failed to break through the Mingxin Pass, he also knew that a Mingxin strongman was difficult to kill. However, Bai Yuan killed the eighth-level monster in front of him, which shows that Bai Yuan’s current combat power is probably superior to those old monsters.

Maybe he could even become a great master!
Li Huan became even more excited when he thought that he might very well become a close friend of a great master.

Bai Yuan glanced at Li Huan and said, "Don't worship me too much."

"Your uncle."

Li Huan rolled his eyes and cursed with a smile.

Looking at Bai Yuan who was the same as before, he suddenly felt fortunate that he and Yang Fangyu had similar interests and that they were close enough to Lingzhou.

Among the previous brothers, except Lu Yu, the relationship between the other brothers and Bai Yuan was not very good.

Bai Yuan: "By the way, what are your plans for the future?"

Li Huan was silent.

Of course, he understood the hidden meaning of Bai Yuan's words. Now Xuanyang was in turmoil, and even the world might change hands. As the prince of Qingzhou, he certainly couldn't stay out of it. Bai Yuan's meaning was simple. If Li Huan was interested in the position of King of Qingzhou, he could help.

This idea had actually been expressed before at the Qingzhou Palace.

but
Li Huan shook his head: "Being a prince is really meaningless."

Bai Yuan was a little surprised. He didn't expect that Li Huan had no interest in the position of King of Qingzhou.

He was willing to help Li Huan because, on the one hand, they were brothers, and on the other hand, if Li Huan became the King of Qingzhou, the four continents of Shuofang would be truly united.

Li Huan's mouth showed bitterness: "Before leaving, my father came to me alone. He told me that this journey was dangerous. He had already made a will to pass the throne to my eldest brother, but if I don't want to, I can take it myself."

Bai Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly.

He didn't expect that King Qingzhou would make such arrangements before leaving.

Among the several princes of King Qingzhou, Li You was the most suitable one. Perhaps there would be more talented heirs appearing in the future, but due to the chaos in Xuanyang, the Palace of Qingzhou could no longer wait until that time.

An heir who can immediately secure the throne of Qingzhou is the King of Qingzhou’s first choice.

There is no doubt that Li You is the best choice.

But there is a variable here, that is Li Huan, or Bai Yuan.

If Li Huan joins forces with Bai Yuan, even Li You will be unable to resist. Li Huan will sit on the throne, but the King of Qingzhou, the real powerful king from other places, will be in name only and become a subordinate of Bai Yuan.

That's why the King of Qingzhou said that he could take it himself.

Bai Yuan: "So you"

Li Huan put away his good mood and smiled again: "If you don't mind, I can be a general in Lingzhou."

Bai Yuan rolled his eyes.

The general was not an easy sell. He had spent a lot of effort to get Yang Fangyu the position of prefect. Even though he had always adhered to the concept of promoting the virtuous regardless of relationship, he could not do it too blatantly.

"You have to call me godfather."

Li Huan laughed: "Dad."

"grass!"

The Qingzhou rebellion was suppressed by Bai Yuan's troops in just ten days.

The Qingzhou army was dumbfounded by the terrifying speed. The demon chaos that had troubled them for months was resolved just like that. The key point was that most of the monsters were dealt with by the governor himself.

There are at least eight hundred monsters who died at Bai Yuan's hands, if not a thousand.

In the secular sense, most generals who are good at fighting are good at leading troops. Although there are also some who personally lead troops into battle, they are only a minority. People like Bai Yuan’s military achievements are almost equal to that of an entire army.

It’s not a question of whether it can be done, but whether anyone is willing to do it.

"Master Bai, Qingzhou will remember this kindness."

Li You looked sincere.

If Bai Yuan had not taken action this time, Qingzhou would probably still be in chaos.

"It's your job."

Bai Yuan waved his hand. He had gained a lot from this trip.

Li You's smile did not fade. He walked to Li Huan and said, "Xiao Huan, the king has gone to the capital, but since you have made up your mind, I will not persuade you. Just remember that we will always be brothers."

Li Huan smiled slightly: "Okay, big brother."

Ever since he expressed his feelings to Bai Yuan by the lake that day, he had long since let go of the knot in his heart.

As for Li You's attempt to retain someone, there was certainly not a trace of sincerity in his words.

If Li Huan still stayed in Qingzhou and fought with him for the throne, then they would not be able to be brothers, let alone strangers, and it would be a life-and-death situation.

Now is the best ending for Li You.

Bai Yuan led the demon cavalry on the official road back to Lingzhou, looking at Li Huan with a smile: "If you regret it, I can go back now."

Unexpectedly, Li Huan looked indifferent, even a little proud: "When you break through to become a spiritual master, reward me with a second-rank official, which is no worse than a prince."

Bai Yuan's mouth twitched: "You look average, but you have beautiful thoughts."

Wait until we get back to Huanglongfu.

Yang Fangyu was a little surprised when he saw Li Huan appearing with Bai Yuan.

Although the matter of the palace was confidential, Li Huan still told Yang Fangyu.

As a result, Yang Fangyu not only did not scold him for being confused, but praised him for having good vision and said that he would be in good shape if he followed A Yuan.

With Yang Fangyu's jokes, Li Huan completely let it go.

Of course it is impossible to be a general. Not to mention whether Bai Yuan is willing or not, just considering the current chaotic situation in the capital, neither the Emperor Li Chengyuan nor the Ministry of Personnel would approve it.

So Li Huan had to transform himself and become Bai Yuan’s first aide.

Of course, the first one was installed by Li Huan himself.

However, when it comes to being an official, the size of the position is not important; the closeness of the relationship with your superior is the key.

Just like the eunuchs in the imperial palace, the chief eunuch of the Imperial Household Department is only of the fifth rank, but even the second rank officials have to be given some face. Li Huan's situation is similar to that of the eunuchs. Thinking of this, he felt much better.

Anyway, in Shuofang, he is the third most important person.

This is even a higher status than when he was in Qingzhou.

With Yang Fangyu, Li Huan and the Yuzhou generals and cavalry who have joined him, Bai Yuan hardly needs to worry about governance.

No matter how chaotic the outside world is, Bai Yuan lives a leisurely life.

After teasing Xiao Baian for a while, he returned to the room, and the next moment he disappeared out of thin air.

Bai Yuan walked straight into the side hall of the fairyland of the shrine.

"add a bit!"

[You have been practicing the Divine Wind Technique for 513 years. You have finally reached the legendary stage. Your Divine Palace Technique progress is 8%.]

[You have been practicing the Star Absorbing Divine Art for 933 years, and have finally reached the Legendary stage. Your Divine Palace Art has progressed 9%.]

Bai Yuan looked at his right palm.

After such a long period of hard work, the development of his right palm finally reached a satisfactory level.

It is too exaggerated to turn every cell into a divine palace, but Bai Yuan still opened up dozens of divine palaces in his right palm.

The strength of this hand has also been increased to an extremely exaggerated level.

But this is not enough.

Bai Yuan needs to be even stronger!

As time goes by, the impact of the broken luck has become increasingly greater. Three new sentient martial artists have appeared in the three continents of Shuofang alone, which was simply unimaginable in the past.

If this is the case in Northern China, then the Central Plains and the South of the Yangtze River will be even more terrifying.

Maybe a new great master has already appeared, but he has been hiding.

Bai Yuan finally understood why Mr. Yuan said he was too slow.

To compete for the position of Martial Saint, only a great master of spiritual power is qualified, but he is still far from that. No matter how strong Ming Xin is, he is not a great master after all.

So he had to be faster.

Fight to cross!

If you don't fight, you will be drowned by the flood and have no control over your own destiny.
