115. This is the road to immortality, and it will never be seen again in the mortal world.
time flies.
In the blink of an eye, it was half a day later.
The elite soldiers of the Death-defying Army who were ready put on fur felts and poured cold water on the felts. Under the cold weather, the cold water attached to the furs condensed into ice, which was stronger than ordinary steel shields.
The burly soldiers carried blankets on their heads and stepped on ladders to attack the city.
The officers and soldiers of the imperial court were also well prepared.
The gold juice, rolling wood, and stone are all ready.
In the blink of an eye, less than half a quarter of an hour after the siege, a thick pile of corpses had already accumulated under the city wall. The people of the new dynasty were not as popular as those of the old dynasty. Emperor Chongming could not defend this strong city, but it was more than enough to leave it to Xu Xinglai to defend.
.
"If Li Xiaozu only has this ability..."
"Then he still can't capture this city."
Xu Xing stayed on the front line and did not huddle in the palace. The palace was too far from the outer city, and it would take too much time for the war horses to convey information. He was a commoner emperor, and he was not an emperor who was raised in a deep palace like Emperor Chongming.
I won't mind it too much.
At this time, he watched the progress of the siege army for a while and shook his head.
"Generals must not slack off. The people near the outer city move inward, and the wood from the houses is unloaded and used as rolling logs..."
He arranged the matters of defending the city one by one.
Of course, with his current level of cultivation, it would not be difficult to kill Li Xiaozu with one sword. However, when he was attacking Shenjing, a burst of Great Emperor's Sword Qi directly injured Ye Jiming's arm, shocking the whole city.
Now Li Xiaozu came well prepared, even though he guessed that there was no warrior in the Li family who could stop his sword. But it was better to be careful in everything. A son with a lot of money would not be able to sit down in the hall.
You must at least test Li Xiaozu's strength first.
When the defenders of Shenjing are about to collapse, they can decide the outcome with one sword strike.
…
One attack and one defense.
This lasted until the third day.
"Your Majesty, we can't wait any longer. The imperial army has returned to support and is preparing to serve the king. Li Yong and others withdrew their troops and returned to the outside of the pass. Without the restraint of Li Yong and others, we will become trapped beasts..."
"Either we fight to the death to attack the city, or..."
"We can only capture him without mercy."
All the relatives knelt on the ground and begged Li Xiaozu to make up his mind as soon as possible.
Sneak attack battles are all about speed.
It's just that the Shenjing City is towering and towering, and it is the most fortified city in the Fengxi Kingdom. Even though the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty Army have been fighting all year round and are brave people, they can only look at the ocean and sigh when facing this city.
"Put some armor on me, general..."
"This time, I will personally lead the army to attack the city."
Seeing that the soldiers' morale was available, Li Xiaozu nodded secretly in his heart. The reason why he wasted his time until now was firstly to test which part of the Shenjing City had flaws, and secondly to wait for a good opportunity at this moment.
Rebellion against the imperial court was a capital offense.
There are ferocious tigers in front and hungry wolves behind. Today, there are only more than 30,000 soldiers left in the army. The court will never recruit them to surrender. Once the army is defeated, the generals will retreat and the soldiers will move to the border and serve as death row prisoners.
It’s something that can be expected….
Therefore, the desperate army had no choice but to sink their boats and fight with their last ditch.
This was also what Li Xiaozu thought of as his only chance of survival and the only way to win against the court after he learned that Princess Anren had been kidnapped.
It was with 30,000 dead soldiers that he defeated the capital in one fell swoop and forged his great reputation!
Half an hour later.
After Li Xiaozu gave a pre-war speech to boost morale, more than 30,000 soldiers of the rebel army fell into a deathly silence. They stared at the tall green and black city wall in the distance, with fighting spirit boiling in their chests.
This time, the attack on Shenjing was no longer about asking for Li Liang's life.
It’s even more for their ‘begging’.
"war!"
"This time, I am at the forefront. I will not break the sacred capital, nor take a step back. You are all good men of the cavalry outside the Guan. How can you abandon your lives here? Your parents are waiting for you outside the Guan, and your wives are waiting for you."
I'm waiting for you..."
"By attacking Shenjing, you will become one of the most powerful people in the world!"
"I don't want any of the property, beauty, or land in Shenjing. They all belong to you!"
Riding on an armored yellow gelding, Li Xiaozu boosted the morale of the soldiers of the rebel army.
next moment.
The desperate army began to attack the city.
…
From the fierce battle at dawn to the approaching dusk.
The setting sun is like blood.
The outer city of Shenjing is about to be breached.
Soldiers in white clothes gradually filled the corridors of the outer city.
However, Zhu Jia's officers and soldiers were retreating steadily due to the fearless fighting of the white-robed soldiers.
"The Dog Emperor..."
"This king is here to take your life..."
Li Xiaozu, who was in heavy armor, was escorted by the bodyguard battalion and finally climbed onto the wall of Shenjing with the help of 30,000 dead soldiers. When he saw Xu Xing standing on the turret, he had deep hatred in his eyes.
meaning.
So he immediately led his troops and horses to charge forward.
Seeing that he was about to succeed, the Dog Emperor didn't know how to retreat...
Although Li Xiaozu was surprised in his heart, he had no time to think about it. Emperor Tiande was close at hand. As long as Emperor Tiande was captured alive, the war would be won. Even if he was not captured alive but killed, it would still be considered a victory.
One hundred feet…….
Fifty feet…….
Thirty feet…….
We are almost approaching the turret of the city.
A sneer appeared at the corner of Li Xiaozu's mouth.
After capturing Emperor Tiande alive, he would humiliate Emperor Tiande's women in front of Emperor Tiande in order to avenge him for taking away his wife. This blood feud is difficult to wash away.
However--
The next moment, he was confused.
Emperor Tiande, who was dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe and a black winged crown on his head, jumped down from the turret. He walked in the air, his feet seemed to be stepping on layers of invisible stairs, and a bright yellow sword energy flowed from his sleeves.
He was thrown out. This sword energy was more than ten feet long, like a rainbow bridge hanging in the sky.
The sword energy was so sharp that it cut through his cold-forged armor made of fine iron.
The heavy armor, which had withstood many cold arrows, was as fragile as tofu at this moment.
"No!"
Li Xiaozu had never been so helpless.
He watched helplessly as the bright yellow sword energy descended directly on him, and then cut him in half.
The three hundred white-robed soldiers in the guard camp were also under the influence of this bright yellow sword energy.
More than half were killed or injured!
…
"Later King Xingtian showed two yellow snakes from his sleeves. These yellow snakes were none other than the Great Imperial Court Sword Qi..."
"This sword is enough to kill an immortal!"
"The white-haired immortal's arm was cut off by King Xingtian's sword, and his blood spilled on the spot."
"And this sword made Mr. Chongming completely despair. He abandoned the outer city and fled to the imperial city."
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading!...
The scenes told by storytellers in the past rushed into Li Xiaozu's mind.
He had never heard the storyteller tell how King Xingtian destroyed Shenjing City back then. But he had seen the information from the palace that was secretly obtained from Shenjing. However, such things were too unbelievable and shocking.
He has always been skeptical about this information.
Before coming to Shenjing, Li Xiaozu had thought of this scene for a moment. But people can deceive themselves. How could they achieve such a situation with only a mere manpower...
What's more, how old was Emperor Tiande Xu Xingcai?
He just thought it was the "magic rope" trick spread in the market!
but--
At this moment, in this short moment, he believed it.
Human power...how can it conquer the sky!
"Li Xiaozu was not defeated, but... lost to the external force of immortals."
"I don't accept it!"
"I am not convinced!"
Under the sword energy of the Great Imperial Court, Li Xiaozu was directly chopped to the ground. His phoenix wings rolled to the ground, revealing his messy long hair. A few strands of hair were stained by the blood spilled in the air and stuck to Li Xiaozu's body.
On his cheeks, he felt a bit more sad.
He held a silver gun in his hand, pointed it at Xu Xing, who was floating in the air, and roared again and again.
Not willing to give in!
He is really unwilling!
Seeing victory in sight, he could stab the dog emperor to death with one shot. Unexpectedly, the dog emperor could fly in the air, and was no different from the immortal-killing King Xing Tian in the storyteller's mouth...
From the time he killed his father, he raised an army and called himself the Qi Ming Army, until he broke into the city wall of Shenjing.
Li Xiaozu considered himself a hero of the world. If he were defeated by Xu Xing with an upright military formation, he would not be so emotional.
But... Xu Xing, the dog emperor, cannot win with force.
"I……"
"The great power belongs to oneself, and one person is a country."
"Behead you, why don't you agree?"
Xu Xing's sleeves and robes were fluttering, and his innate innocence lifted him up into the air. He looked indifferently at Li Xiaozu, who was broken into two sections on the corridor of the city wall, and said disdainfully: "You dare to raise your troops and go south without even finding out my details. You
Defeat, what injustice is there?”
Ye Jiming killed him with a sword, which can be considered a victory without force.
After all, it is a force outside the market.
However, all of his cultivation was achieved through hard training and was his own. He defeated Li Xiaozu and the Ming Dynasty Army with one sword in an upright and dignified manner. Li Xiaozu had nothing to argue with.
Hearing this, Li Xiaozu was speechless and didn't know how to reply.
Could it be that when Shenjing was about to be destroyed, Emperor Tiande could not wait for it and send it to him obediently? No matter how shameless he was, he did not have the face to refute Xu Xing's words.
"Moreover..."
"Even if I don't kill you with my might."
"Li Xiaozu...do you really think you can beat me?"
Xu Xing chuckled lightly and pointed to the city, "What you conquered was just an outer city of Shenjing. Inside the city, I have prepared more troops and horses to fight with you in the streets. Although your army is brave, it can enter Shenjing.
If you are trapped in a quagmire, no matter how brave you are, you can only resist stubbornly..."
Li Xiaozu calculated very accurately that Shenjing's troops were empty.
However, a plan is one thing, but actually implementing it is another matter. Even if he does not have the strength of an innate warrior, with Shenjing's material resources, people's power, and the dominance of the new dynasty, it is not enough to drag King Qin's army back for reinforcements.
What’s so difficult….
With these words, the white-robed beggars no longer dared to fight, and they knelt down one by one and begged for surrender.
Because Li Xiaozu was cut in half, although he was bleeding profusely, he would not be dead for a while.
"Pass on my decree..."
"The army that begged for its fate committed treason, the general showed his head to the public, and the soldiers moved to southern Xinjiang and were not allowed to return to their homeland."
Xu Xing looked intently at the surrender of his troops and generals, and announced his will.
Use important codes in troubled times!
Treason is a serious crime!
It was not because he was showing favoritism that he could be spared. An emperor must clearly distinguish between himself and the court. Emperor Chongming, for example, did not know this and used punishments indiscriminately, which led to the separation of the court.
In addition, the march south to attack the imperial court is one of the most important events today. If he uses lax punishments, local forces will inevitably follow suit. In that case, the number of casualties will not be the few people today.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for forgiving us our sins!"
After saying this, although the officers and soldiers in white clothes felt like mourning their heirs, to receive this punishment was considered a sign of mercy from the emperor. They had no relatives.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"The Holy Ming of the Imperial Dynasty is disloyal to us!"
Next, one by one, the generals drew their swords and committed suicide, trying to find a way for their families to survive.
Nowadays, although Emperor Tiande has not punished their family members, who knows what happened next. But at this moment, as long as they kill themselves on the spot and die to apologize, their guilt will naturally be lighter.
There is a huge difference between actively confessing your guilt and choosing to die, and being beheaded...
In an instant.
All the generals of the white-robed army died.
Only coach Li Xiaozu is left.
He stared blankly at Xueyang without saying a word.
quack!
Several crows smelled the smell of blood and flew from afar. They stopped at the city wall and began to eat the flesh and blood of these dead soldiers and generals. The body of Li Xiaozu was also among them.
…
In the autumn of the first year of Tiande, in mid-September, the king of Zhenbei, Li Liang, died. The prince Li Xiaozu went south to beg for his life. He called himself the beggar army and conquered five cities in one day. He was invincible and the people of Shenjing were in panic...
In the autumn of the first year of Tiande, at the beginning of October, King Li Yong of Luzhou, King Li Dan of Xiaozhou and others kidnapped the former princess Anren and presented her as a prisoner to the imperial court. The emperor accepted her. From then on, the army was divided into two groups due to internal strife.
.
In the autumn of the first year of Tiande, in late October, the crown prince Li Xiaozu led an army of 50,000 rebels around passes and cities, climbed mountains and ridges, and arrived at Shenjing. He wanted to sneak attack Shenjing and decide the outcome in one battle. However, three days later, the army was defeated.
His head was nailed to the city of Shenjing to deter the rebels in the world.
In the spring and April of the second year of Tiande, when the imperial court was engaged in the Northern Expedition, Li Yong, king of Luzhou, and Li Dan, king of Xiaozhou, presented letters of surrender, willing to surrender to the imperial court. The imperial court did not fight, and all the soldiers and horses outside the pass were gathered.
In the autumn of the third year of Tiande, Chang Ji, Duke of Ding, received the imperial order and led an army of 200,000 troops to attack Shenglong Mansion. In the same year, the emperor fell ill and hid in the palace and could not see the courtiers.

"The legend of Fengxi River was originally just an unknown stream. Later, Tianfeng lived nearby and drank from the stream. After Tianfeng left..., Fengxi got the care of Tianfeng and turned into a rolling white river, flowing from Donghuang River.
The Tianyuan in the north of the state flows to the Wangchuan Sea in the south..."
"The Forgotten Sea is also called the South China Sea."
"Of course, it's not the South China Sea that you, Fengxi Country, think it is."
After boarding the demon beast Luan Bird that had attracted the immortal envoy Shui Hongyao, Xu Xing sat cross-legged behind the broad Luan Bird. Soon, the blue Luan Bird that was dozens of feet in size began to take off from the Fengxi Palace.
After leaving Fengxi Country, Shui Hongyao, who was standing at the bird's neck, took the initiative to start chatting and told Xu Xing some common sense about Feiyu Fairy Palace and Donghuang Province along the way.
Fengxi Country is called Fengxi Country because it is a country by the Fengxi River.
The Baoxiang Kingdom, Liuguang Kingdom, and Wanghai Kingdom under Feiyu Immortal Palace are different. These countries are quite far away from Fengxi River.
Wanghai Country is on the verge of the Wangchuan Sea.
The approximate power position of Feiyu Immortal Palace is located in the south of Donghuang State, on the edge of the Wangchuan Sea.
In Donghuang Prefecture, there are at least four or five countries called Fengxi Country.
"Mortals who have the qualifications to practice in the secular world are usually discovered by the Jiedu envoys and then brought into the sect. Only the immortal talents born in heaven are personally introduced to the Immortal Palace to practice by the Jiedu emissaries..."
"Once I take you into the sect, your immortal talent will definitely stand out."
"Generally speaking, the sect has given you immortals two choices. The first option is to take you to the mountain town at the foot of the Immortal Palace Mountain. You can embark on the path of immortality yourself, become disciples of the sect, and then remain unknown.
, focus on cultivation, and nothing outside will disturb you. As for resources, the sect will also ration them for you, and there will not be any shortage..."
"The second option is for me to take you directly to the Immortal Palace and prepare you as a true successor in front of everyone. Once your qualifications are known, there will be a sect of immortals looking for you to marry..."
"Of course, you can rest assured that ordinary marriages do not count in the Immortal Palace. These cultivating families will not care whether you get married or not. Because the woman you marry is definitely a mortal woman, and she will die in a mere hundred years. Beauty is nothing more than beauty.
It’s a skeleton of bones.”
"The first choice is to rely on yourself and the sect."
"The second option is to rely on yourself, the sect, and the help of the aristocratic family."
"The resources provided by aristocratic families are often one or two times more than those provided by sects. This is because sects need to support everyone's cultivation, and aristocratic families are all behemoths, with more resources and fewer geniuses."
"At the same time, aristocratic families can help their children seek better positions..."
Shui Hongyao turned to look at Xu Xing.
She also wanted to know which path Xu Xing would choose.
In the hands of the Immortal Envoy, there was all the information about the Immortal Talents to be invited. She saw a very interesting piece of information on this information, which was the "Nanyuan Legacy, the Old Love" created by Xu Xing.
The allusion of "Sword Love is Deep"......
A kind person who attaches great importance to friendship, everyone likes to make friends with him.
Of course she is no exception.
It's just that she doesn't know whether Xu Xing is pretending to value friendship or truly valuing friendship.
"In the ordinary world, there are people who want to catch a son-in-law."
"If you think about it, this marriage between aristocratic families should be similar to the capture of a son-in-law by an ordinary nobleman."
Xu Xing did not answer this question directly.
He first took a closer look at Shui Hongyao. This girl wore a hat with a hanging veil and a five-color skirt. She had a graceful figure and her fair skin revealed the brilliance of jade. However, due to the cover of the white veil, she could not see clearly at this moment.
From the way he spoke, you can only see the bright and beautiful dimples on his face...
Can't see through.
After a moment of silence, Xu Xing turned to ask this question.
Deng An did not tell him the two choices Shui Hongyao proposed to him today.
With Deng An's "flattery" towards him, if he could tell him, he would definitely not refuse to tell him. However, he had seen a glimpse of this fate when the fate of "Official Thief" and "Dragon Seizing Thief" collapsed.
Know that these two choices today are of great importance.
It is a test for the sect.
Feiyu Immortal Palace, or most of the forces that have been in the world for a long time, will have internal cliques and monopoly on resources. There are party governments in the ordinary court, and there are aristocratic families who have been here for generations, and the Immortal Sect is naturally no exception. Even because
Monks live forever, and these problems are more serious than those of ordinary people.
In the ordinary world, if you have the imperial examination, you can change your destiny and squeeze into the upper class.
Three hundred years of dynasty change and power reshuffle...
As for the Immortal Sect, it is much more difficult.
The cultivation system of monks in this world starts with innateness, followed by immortal foundation, jade liquid returning elixir, Tao elixir, Nascent Soul, Dharma phase...
And people are born with different qualifications.
For ordinary people to break through their innate abilities, they need to accumulate one hundred and twenty years of Qi.
But for monks with the qualifications to practice, it doesn't take that long. Basically, it takes decades to achieve a breakthrough. If there are resources such as elixirs to assist, the time will be shortened even shorter.
The immortal talents Shui Hongyao talks about are born from the heavens, referring to monks like Xu Xing who have special physiques such as "Ming King Body" and "Human King Body". These people practice thousands of miles on the road to immortality, so they are called immortals.
talent.
…
Because of the future deduced after the collapse of the two fates...
Xu Xingdu only stopped at the realm of Immortal Base.
Therefore, he did not have a clear understanding of the lineage of masters and disciples and the lineage of aristocratic families in Feiyu Immortal Palace. He only knew that the aristocratic families put pressure on the lower-level monks, and even the immortals of the sect were not immune to exceptions.
After all..., fair advice from ordinary people is based on the fact that everyone is an ordinary person. From a physiological point of view, everyone is equal, and there is no difference. But the immortal sect is different.
If you do it long enough, you can overwhelm the monks at the bottom...
Of course, this kind of competition is a matter of fighting and not breaking up.
There will be no killing just because of the competition for resources and status. Maybe there will be, but at least on the surface, there won't be.
Receive the Immortal Envoy Shui Hongyao and return the realm to elixir.
A descendant of the family.
There will be more understanding of the two meridians.
"Catch your son-in-law under the list..."
Shui Hongyao pursed her lips and smiled, "But it can be compared like this."
After just saying this sentence, she said no more.
Too many words lead to mistakes.
The person in front of her was not a young boy who was just starting out, but the founding emperor of a country who had successfully rebelled. She was self-aware and did not think that she could be more enlightened than Xu Xing...
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "I wonder which lineage the Immortal Palace Master is from?"
With a sigh in his heart, Xu Xing made up his mind to choose the master-disciple lineage.
If he hadn't had all the previous experiences in the secular world..., he would have preferred to be part of a noble family. Although joining a noble family would inevitably lead to some grievances, compared to the long journey to immortality, this grievance was nothing.
.
If you are qualified and capable, if you stay behind, you will be the elder of the family and make the rules.
If you don’t have the ability, the resources of the family can help you go further...
But now that he has an ancient bronze mirror, he can go further without relying on aristocratic families.
It's just that compared to the help from the aristocratic family, he will walk slower.
But there is no need to worry about this. He has the body of a human king and can enter the Imperial Capital Peak as a true successor. Lingyin Peak supports him from behind. Although compared to the aristocratic family, Lingyin Peak may not provide many resources, but at least in the front
On his journey, he will not be short of resources...
The only thing missing is the position given by the aristocratic family mentioned by Shui Hongyao.
this point.
According to his guess.
It is probably similar to the Nine-Rank Zhongzheng System of the Wei and Jin Dynasties.
Children from aristocratic families are average in talent, but as long as they are born well, they can be rated as high-grade. However, children from poor families, no matter how talented they are, can only be ranked in middle-grade or low-grade.
Perhaps Feiyu Immortal Palace is not as hierarchical, but it is still pretty much the same.
At this time, he had already determined in his heart that he would choose the master-disciple lineage. However, there must be a suitable reason why he chose the master-disciple lineage, which seemed worse, instead of choosing one when there was clearly a better family lineage.
Xu Xing has already thought about this reason.
The aristocratic family has all kinds of good things...
But it happened that Yuan Rui, the head of the sect at this time, was from the master-disciple lineage.
In other words.
Choose a lineage of aristocratic family, the lower limit is high.
But if you choose the lineage of master and disciple, you will be stuck for a while, but when you get to the back, the clouds will clear and the moon will shine.
Why is the sect director Yuan Rui a master-disciple lineage?
Xu Xing doesn't know, there may be a deeper reason for this.
But this was the best reason for him to choose the master-disciple lineage.
"A young man with a strong and unruly spirit can fly like a tiger with wings in his ribs." - Wang Anshi's "Ji Shen Boyun".
The young man's spirit is so high that his ambition is so high that no one will say a word "no" to him.
…
"The sect leader...is not from a family."
Shui Hongyao took a serious look at Xu Xing, feeling a little surprised in her heart.
If someone else said this, she would just think of it as a joke.
But she knew Xu Xing's experience. Although becoming the head of a sect in Feiyu Immortal Palace was much more difficult than becoming the emperor of a small secular country. But at least Xu Xing had proved himself once, and these words would never be heard by others.
, I thought it was the boy who was pretending to be arrogant.
