Chapter 132 Cyclone
……

Three days passed in a blink of an eye.

After several days of hard training, Wu Wen finally improved the Crane Dance again and created an extremely powerful attack method: Crane Eight Strike.

in the courtyard.

With the morning sun.

Wu Wen was practicing the Crane Eight Strike that he had just created.

He was seen practicing the Crane Dance first. His body was light and graceful, and a weak cyclone slowly condensed around him, as if pulling in all the surrounding air.

Suddenly, he spread his arms out like the flapping wings of a crane, gathering his energy and swinging them forward. A strong gust of wind rushed forward with a fierce momentum.

This is the first attack: Crane Wing Spread.

Then, he flashed like a crane hunting, and his index finger was as sharp as a crane's beak, stabbing out quickly. His movements were swift and accurate.

This is the second strike: a piercing blow from the crane's beak.

Then, he spun around, driving the surrounding aura to form a whirlwind. The whirlwind roared forward, with great momentum, as if it was going to tear apart all obstacles.

This is the third attack: Crane Dance Whirlwind.

With a push of his foot, Wu Wen stepped on the clouds like a crane, and his power exploded instantly. The whole person flew into the air, and the floor tiles under his feet directly shattered into spider-web-like cracks, showing his amazing explosive power.

This is the fourth strike: the crane step.

He gathered all his strength, took a deep breath, and suddenly let out a crane cry that shook the earth. The sound waves rushed forward like waves, carrying a powerful aura and shocking force.

This is the fifth strike: the crane cry that shakes the soul.

Then, Wu Wen spread his arms like crane wings and slapped them fiercely. The energy surged forward like a tide.

This is the sixth strike: Crane Wing Strike.

Then, he soared like a crane and attacked quickly. His attack was so swift and unexpected that it was hard to defend against.

This is the seventh strike: Crane Soaring Assault.

Finally, Wu Wen gathered all his energy, like a crane soaring into the sky. In an instant, he pounced forward and unleashed a fatal blow.

This attack gathered all his strength, enough to destroy everything in its path and was unstoppable.

This is the eighth strike: the crane-shaped killing blow.

Close the position and stand.

Wu Wen showed a satisfied smile on his face for these eight strikes.

At this moment, Fugui, who had been watching from the side, couldn't help but praise: "Sir, your kung fu is really amazing!"

"Practice well. When you have mastered the Green Snake Skill and developed internal strength, I will teach you the Crane Dance." Wu Wen encouraged him with a smile.

Hearing this, Fugui nodded firmly, his eyes full of longing.

Wu Wen looked up at the sky. It was almost time to attend Li Shimin's coronation ceremony.

Although the ceremony was held in the afternoon, preparations had already begun at this time.

Interestingly, Li Shimin’s coronation ceremony was not held in the magnificent Taiji Palace, but in the relatively simple East Palace.

When Wu Wen and Yang Ergou came to the East Palace together.

I found that there were not too many decorations in the palace. It was just some red silk, lanterns and various ceremonial objects hung up to add to the festive atmosphere.

However, despite the simple layout, it exudes a solemn and dignified atmosphere everywhere.

After a long wait, the coronation ceremony finally began with the arrival of Li Shimin.

It was different from the emperor’s coronation ceremony that Wu Wen had seen on TV dramas.

Li Shimin's ascension to the throne was really just a formality.

Wearing the dragon robe and sitting on the dragon throne, he read the abdication edict to all the officials. Then all the officials came to pay homage to him, and then the ceremony was declared over.

Wu Wen followed everyone else and completed the process, and couldn't help but sigh at the simplicity and practicality of the ceremony.

After the coronation ceremony, he was officially appointed as the General of the Right Guard.

Wu Wen immediately returned to his residence.

He still had to continue his cultivation and had no time to get involved with those civil and military officials.

the following few days.

As Wu Wen deepened his study of the aura around his body.

He discovered that aura can actually be used as a criterion to judge a person's strength.

By observing factors such as the size, depth, and amplitude of an individual's influence on the surrounding aura, one can indirectly reflect a person's level of strength.

For example, when Wu Wen's own power explodes, it can affect a maximum range of three meters around his body, but the actual range that can be accurately controlled is one meter.

This range can be used as a standard to measure his strength.

Later, when he encounters an enemy, he can judge the difference in strength between the two sides by comparing the aura ranges of both sides.

Besides.

Wu Wen also made another discovery.

You can actually use the aura around your body to practice.

Just like when he was practicing the Crane Dance, he was able to condense a cyclone around his body.

This cyclone is like a whirlpool, which can absorb trace energy from the surrounding environment and then transmit it to him through resonance.

However, since the energy absorbed by this cyclone is so tiny, it is a world of difference compared to the effect of Wu Wen's practice using the spirit pill.

It's like one is like an ant crawling slowly on the ground, while the other is driving a car and running very fast.

Therefore, Wu Wen only paid a little attention to this discovery and did not waste too much energy on it.

—

Just when Wu Wen was still concentrating on his cultivation.

In the north of the Tang Dynasty, a huge event happened.

The Turkic Khan Jie Li led 200,000 cavalrymen south, captured Gaoling, and marched straight to Chang'an.

In the Lizheng Hall of the Eastern Palace, Li Shimin, who had just ascended the throne, looked at the urgent news sent from the border, and his face gradually became gloomy.

He threw the urgent report in his hand to the ground, stood up in a rage, and shouted loudly: "Damn Turks, damn Jie Li!"

Without the border barrier, the 200,000 cavalrymen charged straight to Chang'an and were completely unstoppable.

For a moment, civil and military officials in the palace were talking about it.

"Your Majesty, the best way now is to negotiate peace with the Turks and impress them with money," suggested a minister.

"Your Majesty, I request to go into battle and fight the Turks to the death." A general stepped forward with a firm tone.

"Your Majesty, I think we should hold our ground and wait for help. The walls of Chang'an city are tall and strong. Even if the Turks have 200,000 cavalry, they cannot attack in a short time. As long as we wait for troops from all over the country to arrive, the Turks will naturally retreat." Another minister proposed the strategy of holding our ground.

……

Listening to everyone's advice, Li Shimin remained silent, weighing the pros and cons in his mind.

Peace negotiation is the best option.

Because with Chang'an's current military strength, they would definitely not be able to win by force.

If we rely on the city walls of Chang'an to hold out and wait for troops from all over the country to come to the rescue, the Turks are not stupid either. They will definitely take this opportunity to continue moving south and plunder the Central Plains. The losses caused will be unimaginable.

However, peace negotiation is also a science.

Li Shimin understood that he could not just go and negotiate peace directly, otherwise the other side would only make exorbitant demands.

Therefore, he needed to win a battle first, show his might, let the Turks see the power of the Tang Dynasty, and then sit down at the negotiation table to negotiate peace with them.
