One person ascends to the Pure Huang Court

"I didn't expect that the combination of 'Wuliu Heart Technique' and the Green Lotus Sword Song' would be so powerful. I wonder what the bad commander had in mind when he sent me this book."

After the group had spent three months peacefully in the secluded mountains of Qingcheng, they unexpectedly received an unexpected visitor.

Two months ago, Duan Chengtian, a chubby Tiansu Xing who looked like a chef, found Li Xingyun's secluded place and brought him two secret books, "Wuliu Heart Technique" and "Longquan Sword Technique".

Tiansu Xing Duan Chengtian also brought a message for Buliang Shuai,

"I feel really guilty for accidentally revealing your Highness' whereabouts. I am ashamed to see your Highness again. I have prepared a generous gift to atone for my sin. I hope your Highness will forgive me."

Be careful!

Li Xingyun now doesn't believe a word that Buliang Shuai says.

However, he really couldn't refuse the gift from the Bad Leader.

Because "Wuliu Heart Technique" is the relic of Lu Linxuan's father, Senior Lu Youjie, it embodies all his life's learning and is of great significance to Lu Linxuan.

Moreover, the "Wuliu Heart Technique" combined with the Green Lotus Sword Song is incredibly powerful. After practicing the Wuliu Heart Technique, Lu Linxuan's strength has doubled.

When sparring with Lu Linxuan, who had mastered the "Wuliu Heart Technique", Li Xingyun would be stabbed if he was even slightly careless.

Tiansuxing also brought a book called Longquan Swordsmanship written by Li Chunfeng, which was also mysterious. In the blank spaces of the book, Buliang Shuai also wrote annotations to explain the sword moves and styles to Li Xingyun.

With the help of Longquan Sword Technique, Li Xingyun can temporarily contend against the strong men of the great celestial level even with his cultivation of the lesser celestial level, not to mention that Li Xingyun has now reached the middle celestial level.

But the gift from the Bad Leader is not easy to take.

The last time he gave himself the Longquan Sword, but in the battle of Yuzhou, Li Xingyun himself was seriously injured and Lu Linxuan was poisoned and fell into a coma.

This time, two more secret books were sent, and I don’t know what the plan is.

"Hahaha, with the two saints accompanying you, Your Highness is living a very carefree life in seclusion."

A powerful and generous laughter came from the bamboo forest, startling the birds and making them fly away.

Li Xingyun couldn't help but sigh: "No matter how many times I watch it, Uncle Duan, your silent secret is always so amazing."

Although Duan Chengtian has a sturdy build, he has mastered the top-notch martial arts "The Secret of Silence" and has achieved great success in lightness skills. He can walk on snow without leaving any trace and is as fast as the wind.

Even a clever and timid bird could only discover Duan Chengtian's whereabouts after he revealed his whereabouts.

In terms of lightness skills alone, even Prince Qi or Li Siyuan are no match for him.

Duan Chengtian pushed aside the bamboo branches and smiled naively, "Haha, this is my bread and butter. In terms of strategy and martial arts, I, Old Duan, cannot compare to other Tiangang lieutenants. It is only my humble Qinggong that has caught the Marshal's eye."

Li Xingyun invited Duan Chengtian to sit down, poured him a glass of wine, and said seriously, "Uncle Duan, you wouldn't come to me for no reason. What do you want to say to me, Commander Buliang?"

Duan Chengtian restrained his smile and sighed, "Your Highness lives in seclusion in the mountains, and doesn't know the current situation in the world."

"Your Highness, do you know that you have a half-brother named Li Xiang?"

"Li Xiang? Who is that?"

It was the first time that Li Xingyun knew that he actually had a brother alive, and he couldn't help but exclaimed.

That might be his only living relative, so Li Xingyun hurriedly asked Duan Chengtian for details.

Duan Chengtian explained in detail: "Back then, His Highness Zhaozong had sex with a palace maid named Su Nu after drinking. It turned out that Su Nu was pregnant with the royal bloodline, that is, Li Xiang."

"Originally the Queen did not want to keep the child and ordered the Marshal to get rid of the child." After taking a look at Li Xingyun's face, Duan Chengtian continued,

"But the Marshal was soft-hearted and sent the child out of the palace and joined the Bad People. He did not tell him about his life experience, nor did he kill him."

"How could fate have played such a trick on us? I never expected that this child would have escaped the Hongmen Banquet set up by Zhu Wen, and not have been burned to death like the other princes."

Duan Chengtian sighed at the fickleness of fate.

After listening to Duan Chengtian's words, Li Xingyun felt mixed emotions.

He felt guilty towards his mother, the queen, for causing Li Xiang to leave his mother when he was just born and become an orphan in troubled times. But he was also happy that he was no longer alone.

After a long silence, Li Xingyun said, "What did Li Xiang do to make the bad commander specifically order you, Uncle Duan, to tell me?"

Duan Chengtian made a startling statement: "Your Highness, as you know, Li Xiang has declared himself the King of Qiong, occupied the Southern Han Kingdom, and is still attacking the Chu Kingdom."

"The Chu army is being forced to retreat step by step. I'm afraid they won't be able to hold out for much longer."

"what!"

Chapter 406 The Altar of Soldiers, Gods and Monsters

Li Xingyun has been recuperating in Qingcheng Mountain for the past six months, but Li Xiang has not been idle.

He had rested in the Soldier Storage Valley for long enough and couldn't sit still at all.

Now that the Marshal has finally recognized his qualifications, he cannot let the Marshal down. He must let the Marshal know that he, Li Xiang, is the hope for the revival of the Tang Dynasty, the successor to the Marshal's beliefs, and his closest person.

The Marshal handed over the Longquan Sword and the Yin Soldiers to Li Xingyun. Li Xiang was not jealous. Li Xingyun was the legitimate son, so it was normal for him to receive some preferential treatment.

But he is confident that he will be the winner in the end.

When the Marshal was teaching Li Xingyun, he was also listening in secret.

He learned everything that Li Xingyun learned, and he knew everything that Li Xingyun could do. In terms of Tiangang Jue, his attainments might even be higher than Li Xingyun's.

It can be said that he is the decisive and murderous version of Li Xingyun.

If Li Xingyun is the fire that warms people's hearts, he is the cold and ruthless ice.

Ice and fire are incompatible. Even if fire desires to be close to ice, it will melt the ice.

Although Li Xingyun now has the Yin soldiers under his command, he has an advantage over him and has a high reputation among the princes, so he is one step ahead of him.

But he knew that with Li Xingyun's carefree personality, even if he was one step faster than him, it would be useless. He didn't care about that.

Otherwise, with the Marshal's support, he would have ascended to the supreme position of Jiuzhou long ago, and there would be no place for him, Li Xiang.

Having decided to compete with Li Xingyun for the throne of the emperor, Li Xiang had to find a way to improve his own strength.

After all, the emperor is the one with strong soldiers and horses.

The usual methods of winning over refugees and training soldiers are not suitable for him. Only strange and unconventional tactics can overtake others.

Coincidentally, Li Xiang knew a way to overtake on a curve.

A year ago, under the guidance of General Buliang, Li Xiang read the policies issued by the three provinces in the past 300 years of the Tang Dynasty, the reactions of various parties after the policies were issued, and the commander-in-chief's deployment of the army in various wars fought in the past 300 years of the Tang Dynasty.

Combined with the inside information collected by the Bad People, Hu Xiuwu asked Li Xiang to study the emperor's considerations behind the government orders.

Since I said I wanted to support him, I naturally had to do the real thing, otherwise I was worried that Li Xiang would not be able to change his values ​​in a short time, and it would not be in line with the character of the Bad Leader.

He really wanted to give Li Xiang a few red dragon-slaying books to let him know what it meant to make many friends and fewer enemies.

In the process of learning about the politics of the Tang Dynasty and entering the city, the Bad Leader, who has been in the shadow of the empire for three hundred years, is an object that cannot be ignored.

In addition, Li Xiang had admiration for the Buliang Shuai, so he particularly liked to read about the Buliang Shuai's deeds, especially the political achievements he made when he was the imperial teacher of the Tang Dynasty before he was disfigured.

Among them, the records about Raojiang aroused his interest in particular.

During the Zhenguan period, Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng simultaneously calculated that dragon energy was rising in Raojiang. They were shocked, and after careful calculation, they found that it was because the Twelve Caves that ruled Raojiang at that time had created a kind of witchcraft that could change the world's situation:

The God of War,

This technique combines the essence of Raojiang witchcraft and insect poison, and is the highest achievement of Raojiang witchcraft.

Soaking a living person in a jar of secret witchcraft medicine can build muscle and bones, making him indestructible, painless and insensitive. It also retains the person's skills, erases memories and emotions, and creates the most advanced war machine, the God of War Army.

At that time, Yuan Tiangang was thinking about helping the Tang Dynasty to seize this technique. He planned to take advantage of the fact that the Twelve Caves had not yet produced the God of War in large quantities, and provoke Tuyuhun to attack Raojiang.

But Li Chunfeng couldn't bear it. If the war broke out, there would be countless casualties, so he went to Raojiang alone. With his extraordinary divination skills and eloquence, he persuaded the chiefs of the twelve tribes, and then he lived in seclusion with his skills of the God of War and Monster Altar, never to care about worldly affairs again.

Raojiang thus avoided a war.

Out of consideration for his best friend, Yuan Tiangang did not bother to argue at the time and just smiled it off, but he did not forget the incident. Three hundred years later, when the Tang Dynasty was in danger, the bad commander sent Chi Li, the lonely star, and Chi Li, the injured star, who were both from Raojiang, back to Raojiang to seize the altar of the god of war.

At the beginning, the two of them were still brothers, but after they formed the Ten Thousand Poison Cave and ruled Raojiang, his ambitions gradually arose and he was no longer the same person he once was.

Even when Chi Li secretly regretted and wanted to give up, the Witch King Chi Li ambushed his younger brother Chi Li, imprisoned his own brother, and tortured him to learn the insect magic in his hands.

The Bingshen Guaitan is a method of witchcraft. In order to prevent the Bingshen Guaitan method from being leaked, the Buliang Commander ordered two people to bring back the witchcraft and witchcraft methods respectively.

Chi Li has a book on ancient insect magic in his hand, which records in detail various witchcraft techniques used in Raojiang from ancient times to the present. It was left to Chi Li by Xian Shen, Chi Li's lover and one of the former Twelve Dong Lords.

Xian Can is a clever and eccentric man. When he was sent to the Central Plains to carry out a mission by the Lord of the Twelve Caves, he met Chi Li and fell in love with him. He pursued Chi Li, but was deceived by Chi Li.

For Chi Li, he even violated the prohibition of the Twelve Caves, ignored the seclusion principle of the Twelve Caves, allowed outsiders to enter the Twelve Caves, learned the forbidden art of the God of War, and left the ancient insect art to Chi Li. For this, he was punished by the Great Cave Lord and imprisoned in the Dead Creek Forest at the entrance of the Twelve Caves, and was not allowed to take a step out for life.

Yuan Tiangang had kept these things a secret from Li Xiang before. The Bingshenguaitan was a backup plan he left for Li Xingyun.

But Hu Xiuwu didn't care about these things, so he disclosed all the records in the Cangbing Valley to Li Xiang.

The old stories of Raojiang fascinated Li Xiang, who had never known about it before. When he decided to leave the valley, he decided to travel west to Raojiang. Especially when he saw the powerful strength of the Yin soldiers in breaking through the city in Yuzhou City, he became more determined to form an army of the God of War.

While Li Xingyun was recuperating, Li Xiang entered Raojiang alone, broke into the Ten Thousand Poison Cave, and held the banner of the Bad Commander to intimidate the Witch King.

······

In the auditorium of the Ten Thousand Poison Cave, Chi Li, with gray hair and eyes but still a sturdy figure, sat alone on the throne of the Ten Thousand Poison Cave.

"Although Raojiang is remote and isolated, it is not uninhabited. I have always been paying attention to the news in the Central Plains. I know about Li Xingyun's affairs."

"Your Highness, why do you think I will help you?"

After ruling Raojiang for many years, Chi Li is no longer the bad guy and Captain Tianguxing. When he met Li Xiang, he did not even leave the throne and acted arrogantly.

He did have the intention of expansion, but it was ridiculous for Li Xiang to want his support since he was alone.

Does he think he is a bad guy?

Li Xiang said: "Because my last name is Li, I can help you find the ancient insect technique!"

Chi Li raised his eyebrows: "Please explain in detail, Your Highness."

"The Gu King is stubborn and will never give you the insect technique. Instead of wasting time on him, it is better to trace the source and recover the ancient insect technique from the source."

"There is a leader among the twelve tribes, and he is a member of my Li clan."

Chi Li asked, "Your Highness, are you confident that you can obtain the ancient insect technique from it?"

"If I can't get it, I won't trade with you. The Witch King has nothing to lose, so why not do it."

Chi Li stood up and approached Li Xiang: "Your Highness, what do you want me to help you with?"

"Send me to the Twelve Caves."
