Evergreen Immortal..

Chapter 522: Taiping Order's Face
In a house next to the Jishuitan.

The old Duke of Wei looked deeply at Li Rui who had returned from outside the city.

"Taiping Ling is very capable."

Since Li Rui has returned, the result is self-evident.

He Jiuxuan is probably dead.

Although he had never fought with He Jiuxuan, he had seen him. It was not difficult to tell from his aura that this genius in the world of immortal cultivation was extremely powerful and had even opened up a purple palace.

And the Lord Li in front of him has only broken through the celestial phenomenon for a few years.

At most, it is fetal development.

Killing enemies across levels is a great skill.

"It's really a terrible life."

The old Duke of Wei was filled with emotion.

He asked himself that when he was on the battlefield, he was far from being as strong as Li Rui.

Li Rui: "This is also due to the Duke's contribution. If I enter the palace immediately, it may not be possible. It is not up to me to decide."

Duke Weiguo sighed softly.

Then he bowed directly to Li Rui and said, "Thank you, Taiping Ling."

Li Rui neither avoided nor gave way, but accepted it calmly.

Duke Weiguo's betrayal of the Arctic Demon Sect was equivalent to cutting off his last route of retreat.

It's really a desperate move.

If Li Rui's trip to the palace fails, the Duke of Weiguo's family will face the danger of extermination.

Li Rui cupped his hands.

Then he ran towards the imperial city.

It seemed like he had been waiting for a long time. As soon as Li Rui arrived at the Meridian Gate, he saw Eunuch Zheng already waiting outside the gate.

See Li Rui appear.

Eunuch Zheng smiled: "Lord Li, His Majesty is already in the Imperial Study."

"Please lead me, eunuch. I have something important to discuss with His Majesty."

Li Rui said.

"You are too polite, Lord Li. His Majesty is waiting for you, too."

Immediately.

Eunuch Zheng led Li Rui through one magnificent palace gate after another, and finally arrived at the imperial study.

"His Majesty."

Li Rui saluted.

At this time, in addition to the Holy Emperor, Gu Changsheng was also in the imperial study.

Gu Changsheng looked at Li Rui with a smile but did not say anything.

The Holy Emperor also smiled: "Changqing, how is the result?"

Li Rui: "I have fulfilled your majesty's trust and have killed He Jiuxuan."

Hearing that He Jiuxuan was dead.

The Holy Emperor was delighted and patted the armrest: "Good, Changqing is always good at doing things."

Not bad.

He and Gu Changsheng both knew about Li Rui's departure from the city long ago.

However, the information they got was that Li Rui was going to use the method left by the Lord of Donghai City to kill He Jiuxuan. In fact, Li Rui's master never left any method to his descendants.

Li Rui killed He Jiuxuan with the help of the fairyland.

The Holy Emperor looked at Li Rui with admiration in his eyes.

He knew He Jiuxuan's identity; he was a genius disciple of the Wanfa Palace in the world of immortal cultivation.

He has a very high prestige in the inner sect.

Li Rui's killing of He Jiuxuan was just the right way to dampen the arrogance of the North Pole Demon Sect.

Now is not the time to be jealous of talented people. The more powerful people there are in Yu State, the happier he is.

Otherwise, if the whole court is filled with officials who only know how to curry favor with petty officials, who will deal with those cultivators who are as ferocious as wolves and tigers?
Gu Changsheng spoke at this time: "Don't worry, Brother Li, I have already found a way to cover up this matter. Others will only think that it was me who did it."

Li Rui showed a look of delight.

Gu Changsheng's action eliminated the biggest worry in his heart.

He then said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the Duke of Wei is still in my house."

When he does things, he certainly won't leave any handle for himself.

The Holy Emperor had long known about the Duke of Wei's affairs.

Or.

Li Rui was the last way left by the Holy Emperor for Duke Weiguo.

I heard the three words "Duke of Weiguo".

The Saint Emperor's expression turned cold. After a long pause, he finally spoke: "Duke Wei helped me back then, and he made the right choice in the end. Yu State ruled the country with benevolence and filial piety, so I will give him a good end."

Morning next day.

There is a special old man at the steps of Taihe Gate.

Duke of Wei.

The Holy Emperor issued an edict on the spot.

Qi Kuang was the new Duke of Wei, but starting from Qi Kuang, the lineage of the Duke of Wei had to move to the capital and their fiefdoms would be reduced. From then on, the Duke was no different from those idle officials.

Never again the glory of the past.

The old Duke of Wei had no complaints about this.

It's better to stay alive than to die.

The current outcome is already the best outcome for the Duke of Weiguo's Mansion.

of course.

For the court of the State of Yu, this matter has been finalized.

But for the Duke of Wei, it was far from over, and it had just begun.

Just as the Holy Emperor said, if the new Duke of Weiguo wants to move into the capital, he must clean up the old house.

"The Holy Emperor's edict is to move the Duke of Wei's mansion to the capital after the old Duke of Wei's death. Why?"

Li Rui was lying under the old willow tree in the courtyard.

He spoke leisurely to Yuan An who was standing beside him.

"Give the old duke a last bit of dignity?"

Yuan An blinked.

"Decent?"

Li Rui chuckled: "Our Majesty is not someone who likes to be treated decently, otherwise the old imperial teacher would not have ended up being locked up in a dark prison for nearly a hundred years."

Yuan An: "Why is that?"

He knew that Li Rui was teaching him.

As the son of Annan Hou.

Although he is called a marquis, he is actually no different from a duke.

The same situation as the Duke of Wei might happen to the Marquis of Annan one day in the future.

So he listened very carefully.

Li Rui: "Your Majesty is asking the old Duke to go back and clean up the mess. If he can't do it well, someone from the court will help clean it up."

'Clean up.'

Hear the word.

Yuan An couldn't help but shudder.

He seemed to have seen the scene of the Duke of Weiguo killing his own children and the sea of ​​blood and corpses.

The struggle is so cruel.

If the Duke of Weiguo is reluctant to kill all the descendants of those who had been associated with the Purple Gold Palace and the Ghost Cult, and leave the Duke of Weiguo's Mansion to enter the capital with a clean record, then the court of the State of Yu will have a hundred reasons to prove that the Duke of Weiguo's Mansion has the intention of treason.

Next, the Duke of Weiguo's Mansion will face the iron hoofs of the Marquis of Dingyuan's army.

Then it will no longer be as simple as killing one's son, but there will be no one alive in the entire Weiguo Mansion.

The choice is not difficult.

Moreover, with the blood and energy of the old Duke Weiguo back then, he would definitely be able to do a good job.

Li Rui just smiled faintly.

Others said it was because of his reputation as the Taiping Order.

But in fact, behind all this is the game between Duke Weiguo and the Holy Emperor.

The higher the position.

The more you fall, the worse it will be.

The fate of Duke Weiguo made Li Rui realize that one should not be too reckless even when one is in high spirits.

As long as a person has not become an immortal, he will grow old one day.

The debts incurred when you are young will still be settled when you are old.

Everyone is like this.

Whether it is the emperor or the great monk, it is the same.

Even in the world of cultivating immortals, it is not uncommon for dying great cultivators to be killed by the descendants of their enemies.

'It's hard to be both in front of me and behind me.'

Otherwise, some emperors are wise when they are young, but go crazy when they are old.

Ultimately, it's the fear of liquidation.

Li Rui is much better in this regard.

Because he had experienced that feeling when he worked as a groom in the Zhu family.

It's really hard to go to bed every day worrying about being suffocated to death by a pillow from your apprentice Ma Yang.

Only those who have experienced it know.

Because of this, his mental and physical strength far exceeds that of ordinary people.

Say it again.

It is experience, not age, that makes a person grow in character.

Those immortal cultivators who hide in the mountains all day long to practice, no matter how many decades they practice, their character will not change at all.

In comparison, Li Rui has experienced a lot.

Kitahara.

Holy mountain, in the magnificent palace on the top of the mountain.

"Fellow Daoist Huang Long, Junior Brother He's fate tablet has been broken, and the people in the palace have already known about it."

Sima Mo looked at Huang Longzi who was standing opposite him.

There was a flash of fear in his eyes.

Although he is the leader of the North Pole Immortal Sect, in fact, the influence of Huang Longzi in front of him is far greater than his, and his strength is even more unfathomable.

To know.

As early as when he was in the world of immortal cultivation, Huang Longzi had already reached the Dao body, while he was only a Purple Mansion.

Actually, he is Huang Longzi's junior.

He Jiuxuan holds a very high position in the inner sect of the Wanfa Palace.

Now that he is dead, the Wanfa Palace naturally wants an explanation.

In other words, it was He Jiuxuan's master who was at the celestial realm and Huang Longzi's junior fellow who needed an explanation.

Huang Longzi spoke calmly:
“The time has not come yet.”

'opportunity?'

Sima Mo raised his eyebrows, then suddenly widened his eyes: "Daoist Huanglong, you want to break through?"

Huang Longzi smiled slightly: "Soon."
