Chapter 157: General Jinwei in front of the palace
It was dawn the next day.
There were rustling footsteps on the snow. Li Xiu and the three of them walked almost side by side without using any physical skills. They walked like ordinary people, leaving several rows of footprints of the three of them in the snow.
Li Xiu secretly admired the patience of these two people.
"Um, Mr. Zhou, I really don't understand. With your status, the worst means of transportation when going out is the Haoyang Bird. Why do we walk like this? I don't know what is the meaning of this? In addition, Mr. Zhou
Such a high-ranking official is also a distinguished imperial envoy. Not to mention tens of thousands of people accompanying him, there must be thousands of guards and hundreds of masters to serve him. You... are too low-key!" Li Xiuzhong also said
He couldn't help but say. Damn it, if Emperor Ji Yuan hadn't met in private and casually suppressed an ancient emperor under the eyes of the unknown sea, he was so strong that he had no choice but to avoid it.
Will I play like this with you? No one will look down on you.
Zhou Guangshun didn't show off to Li Xiu, he acted in a businesslike manner, and anyone with long eyes could see it.
This is quite good. Not to mention that this person is the most popular person in front of Emperor Ji Yuan, he is definitely not far behind. Any minister in the court could have done this job. After all, Li Xiu is a
What is this? Few people have heard of it. Isn't it just to go to the north to deliver the decree, to confer a chosen seed with a third-level title, and to show off and act in a few plays?
Zhou Guangshun said in a very calm tone: "Thousands of retinue guards are not necessary, there are still several hundred retinue masters."
"Oh? Where is the master?" Li Xiu looked around, pretending.
Zhou Guangshun said: "What did you do the night before yesterday? You wouldn't forget it so quickly, would you?"
Li Xiudao: "I want to forget, but there are some things that I can't forget, and there's nothing I can do about it. I seem to remember that Lord Zhou was not supposed to be in Hancheng to punish me? At this moment
Why are you so polite to me? This makes me feel flattered!"
"Yes!" Zhou Guangshun seemed unable to hear Li Xiu's sarcasm, and said, "Being kind is beyond the pale. You should have rushed back to see me immediately when you learned that I had launched an attack on you, but you went to Dongping instead.
Mansion!"
Li Xiu asked in confusion: "Meet you? Why should I go to see you?"
Seeing Li Xiu's posture, Zhou Guangshun suddenly fell silent, with a look of impatience on his face.
Li Xiu saw this, sneered in his heart, and said: "Master Zhou's identity as the imperial envoy is a mystery, right?"
"What do you mean?" Emperor Shikun looked at his words and saw that Zhou Guangshun was unhappy. He spoke coldly and looked at Li Xiu.
Li Xiu, however, did not even look at Emperor Shikun. Instead, he stared at Zhou Guangshun and said, "What evidence do you have to prove your identity? What evidence do you have to prove that you are the Imperial Envoy?" Li Xiu said, "I am still too young.
I didn't investigate clearly when I was in Hancheng, so I just followed you all night in a confused way. If you, Mr. Zhou, are not the real Mr. Zhou, this would be a big joke."
Just kidding, the emperor's edict and the imperial envoy's tokens are still in his hands. If Li Xiu wants to say that Zhou Guangshun is a fake, the other party will have nothing to do. Even if he shows his identity as the Great General in front of the palace, he will not care.
On your own head!
Li Xiu suddenly attacked this time, not for nothing, but because Zhou Guangshun was playing tricks on him. He walked with them all night, which gave him enough face, but now the other party actually didn't have the slightest intention to explain. Li Xiu didn't care.
Are you a general in front of me? If you want to play your tricks, I won't fall for it. Let's see how you play!
Zhou Guangshun said: "Since you don't trust me, it's still too late to go back now. I will never stop you!"
"Ha!" Li Xiu said with a smile: "Mr. Zhou, it's not that I don't trust you, nor am I disrespectful to you, otherwise I wouldn't be here. If we put ourselves in your shoes, do you think you should say the same thing to Mr. Zhou?"
What to order?”
Zhou Guangshun said: "The time has not come yet, I can only tell you that Youyou is hard to deny. Not only did you collude with the Buddha clan, but you also committed a major crime in Dongping Mansion. Even if His Majesty and others want to protect you, they must be absolutely fair."
!I have told you just now that I originally brought hundreds of bodyguards, but now they are not around, just to wipe your ass!"
Li Xiudao: "In that case, I have to thank you, Lord Zhou, for taking care of me?"
Zhou Guangshun said: "No need to thank you. Whether you can make it to Beijing alive depends on your luck!"
Having said this, Li Xiu said no more. All of this was arranged by Emperor Ji Yuan behind the scenes. From the time when the imperial envoy went north, Li Xiu's name could be said to have been spread throughout ten counties and nine states.
Opened. This is why when they were in Gu Qin County, the retired officials actually came out to receive Li Xiu in person. Later, Nangong He and Song Yang Peng stole the imperial edict and the imperial envoy's token. It happened that Taiweixing Zhuge Sheng was there.
Three cities and eighteen villages came to earth, Ji Lang brought the jade seal of the human race, and was attacked in Huilong Valley. After that, a series of events were arranged by Li Xiuzheng.
In order to give Li Xiu a status, Emperor Ji Yuan did not hesitate to mobilize the elites of the nine nobles to fight Li Xiu in Dongping Mansion, forcing Li Xiu to have no way out. Regardless of whether Li Xiu had the strength to defeat Dongping Mansion, Li Xiu finally entered the capital.
The group must leave, and the imperial envoy will not let him go. Just for colluding with the Buddhists, Li Xiu will be guilty of confiscating his family and annihilating his clan. Now, Li Xiu has successfully wiped out the Dongping Mansion and killed the nine great clans.
The leader and elite of the nobles made Li Xiu famous. At the same time, the hatred value was also directly proportional, and he and Liang Zi of the demon clan finally became a sworn knot. This meant that Li Xiu rushed back to Hancheng, and the imperial envoy spared Hanchen Academy.
Because there was no need to add fuel to the fire and accuse Li Xiu'an of any more. But he pretended to leave Hancheng overnight to make Li Xiu and Pang Gu suspicious, so they went to the inn in person and "accidentally" met Emperor Ji Yuan.
.
Li Xiu didn't know why Emperor Ji Yuan chose him. You must know that among the descendants of the demon clan, there should be many people with extraordinary talents. Why did he want to save himself from the disaster in his own starry sky? Bring himself to this world?
Not talking about race, just talking about background, Li Xiu couldn't figure it out. Because the level of technology mastered by the Dark World Lord in this world was not lower than that of his home planet, and was even more advanced, why did Emperor Ji Yuan have to choose someone?
Why would you choose a person like yourself, whose spiritual roots can only be considered superior, for what?
At this moment, Li Xiu's mind was spinning a thousand times, and he felt that his future was filled with mist!
At the same time, I also know that the many tests on my journey are extremely difficult and dangerous. The court did not touch Hanchen Academy, just to make it clear that once I fail, everything related to me will probably be erased. Emperor Ji Yuan is like that
There will be no unnecessary emotions. Li Xiu's failure proves that everything Li Xiu has failed. Failed experiments have no future and will be treated as garbage!
Only then did Li Xiu realize that he had actually fallen into such a dangerous situation! There was only one road left for him, and that was the road left to him by Emperor Ji Yuan, a bloody road.
Yes, it must be a bloody road. The nine nobles are actually just an insignificant victim of this bloody road. This shows how difficult the next road will be!
Next, Zhou Guangshun sped up his pace slightly.
It snowed heavily, and after seven days, with almost no conversation along the way, the three of them finally arrived at a city at the junction of Dayuanzhou and Shangbei County, called Feifeng City.
Since this route going south does not take the official road, it does not need to go all the way to Jianjiang. It passes through Tianshui City and does not enter Xiongguan from Guyangguan. Instead, it goes straight south from Hancheng in the central and western part of Shangbei County, opening a road across the mountains.
The water flies across and finally reaches Feifeng City.
"Go ahead, your acquaintances are waiting for you!" Zhou Guangshun said.
When Li Xiu saw Zhou Guangshun and Emperor Shikun stopping to move forward, he immediately understood what the other party meant. They wanted to ride alone. Zhou Guangshun, the general in front of the palace, would no longer protect himself.
For some reason, Li Xiu smiled, hugged Zhou Guangshun, and said, "Thank you, Mr. Zhou, for your protection along the way, but I don't think I need to walk on foot for the rest of the journey, right?"
Zhou Guangshun said: "As long as you have the ability to survive this Feifeng City, no matter whether you tear apart the space, use other transportation tools, or use teleportation arrays to teleport long distances, or even if you want to escape overseas, or into the void
I won't stop you even if you have a barrier, but you have to remember that your final destination is the capital. However, the time His Majesty gives you is three months, and you know what this means!"
Li Xiudao: "In other words, once time passes, even if I can find a hiding place and am not killed by others, Your Majesty will personally take me away or kill me!"
Zhou Guangshun neither answered in the affirmative nor denied, but stared at Li Xiu. After a moment, he said: "From the standpoint of the human race, I hope you survive!"
"Thank you!" Li Xiu smiled, turned around and walked towards Feifeng City.
Li Xiu really wanted to see who this acquaintance from Feifeng City was!
The city was a very lonely city amid the wind and snow. Li Xiu observed the airflow above from a distance and found no sign of popularity.
This Feifeng City is a dead city! Although Li Xiu could see crowds of people and monks in the city, his observation of the air flow was untrue.
All that is just an illusion.
"Let's go, let's go to the next pass and wait for him!" Zhou Guangshun said.
"Sir, this person is very cunning, I'm afraid he may not obey the arrangements!" Emperor Shikun said.
Zhou Guangshun said: "You are wrong, I did not arrange for him to do anything, nor did I arrange for others to deal with him! Everything was just carried out within a framework, and their final result is not something I should worry about! However, this time
He is bold and courageous in killing, unlike ordinary people. He is unambiguous when it is time to take action. Although he has always lived in a corner, if you think of him as an ordinary casual cultivator, you will be totally wrong! This time he entered the capital.
The trip is unavoidable and the situation is like riding a tiger. Not only will he not delay, on the contrary, he will use the fastest speed and the most effective means to kill him and reach the capital! As his opponent, if you despise him, you will only
If you are afraid, you will reap the consequences."
Emperor Shikun said: "As his former opponent, I know that Li Xiu is indeed a bit evil, but I am not optimistic about him!"
"Oh? Why?" Zhou Guangshun was a little interested in what he said.
Emperor Shi Kun said: "Just because he once let me go and took in Xuanyuan Long, Nangong He and Songyang Peng. If he wants to follow the path of a literary saint, it is destined to be difficult. He may not be able to survive in Feifeng City!
"
"You underestimate him!" Zhou Guangshun said, "Since you are so sure, I decided to stay and see what means he can use to break that drum!"
Li Xiu stepped on the snow, getting closer and closer, and only heard the sound of a drum. Suddenly, there was silence in the city, all the noise disappeared, and the majestic city became dilapidated.
In the middle, there seemed to be dense bones. Seeing those bones, Li Xiu seemed to have seen the tragic scene of the last generation of Daguan. After the imperial city was destroyed, the strong men of the holy way retreated to the north and fought with the masters of the evil way in this city! The strong men of the holy way had fought in this city!
The bones were exposed in the wilderness without anyone to collect them. Although decades have passed and the flesh and blood have decayed, the bones have not changed!
This Feifeng City is the North King's City in the ancient North County, and it is also the center of Dayuanzhou and Shangbei County today. No wonder this area, although inaccessible, is still fertile and wild for thousands of miles at a glance. However, the radius of Feifeng City is
No one dared to set foot on the hundreds of miles of ruins, which resulted in bones everywhere and boundless resentment spreading in all directions.
Li Xiu suddenly saw a person standing on the tower of the dilapidated city.
