Welcoming the imperial edict? Shengun and Guo Jing also sounded confused. Only Li Tian looked at the busy people with a smile.
The main door of the Long family courtyard was opened, and the incense table was set up. Even the eldest son of the Long family, who was not seen in the dark, came out and knelt on the ground following Mr. Long.
Two rows of guards filed in outside the door, with one person in the middle holding an imperial edict in one hand. Although Mr. Long was not an official, he knew all the important figures in the officialdom. The first thing he noticed was Bai Xuan, the commander of the guards in the palace, knowing that only important people
He took action, quickly knelt down on the ground, and said loudly.
"The common people lead the Long family to welcome the imperial edict!"
The guard commander Bai Xuan respected Mr. Long and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Master Long, get up quickly. Bai is here today to read out the imperial edict, but it is not an edict for the Long family."
Not giving an order to the Long family? Then what are they here for? Is it really for Li Tian?
Mr. Long guessed right this time. Bai Xuan, the commander of the guards, really came here because of Li Tian.
Bai Xuan walked up to Li Tian, clasped his fists and said, "Master Li Tian, Bai Xuan, commander of the lower bodyguards, has been ordered by our king to invite Master Li Tian and others to go to the palace. Moreover, New Moon Situ Kingdom
The master has also been waiting there for a long time. This is His Majesty's order. Please take a look at it, Mr. Li Tian."
With Li Tian's identity, this imperial edict is equivalent to an invitation. Bai Xuan did not dare to ask Li Tianxia to kneel down to receive the edict. Li Tian received the imperial edict without even looking at it. He just faced Bai Xuan and said with a smile:
"Excuse me, my lord, please wait a moment. Mr. Long and I have two more words to say."
Bai Xuan, the commander of the guards, nodded and said, "Master Li Tian, please excuse me. There is no need to be polite to my subordinates." After saying that, he stood aside respectfully.
Just as Li Tiangang was about to walk towards Mr. Long, Shen Guan stood in front and glared at Li Tian, "Are you kidding me? Situ Ying is in the palace? You didn't tell me such a big thing. Just wait, you'll be embarrassed.
when."
Mr. Long also secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he didn't attack Li Tian just now, otherwise it would be really difficult to end now. Judging from the situation, Li Tian had already planned and knew that someone from the palace would come. No wonder he was so calm and composed.
No matter how powerful the Long family is, they would not dare to openly go against the imperial court. As long as Li Tian's identity is revealed, it means that the safety in Jiangxia is guaranteed. Unless Jiangxia is prepared to break with Li Tian, they will not dare to call Li Tian
What went wrong in Jiangxia?
In the past two days, under the arrangement of Li Tian, Situ Ying secretly met with the king of Jiangxia in his dual capacity as Crescent Imperial Master and Mrs. Li Tian. The two sides conducted comprehensive negotiations on military and political aspects, and basically reached an agreement.
protocol.
In fact, there was nothing the King of Jiangxia could do. Not to mention the relationship between Chaodu and Xinyue, both parties exerted pressure on him. There was also Caspian behind Jiangxia, and Li Tian actually became Caspian's first prince-in-law. This matter can be ignored by other countries.
He doesn't care, but Jiang Xia has to think about it. Because they are across the sea from the Caspian Sea, in case of a conflict with Li Tian, Jiang Xia will not only have to face the land armies of Chaodu and Xinyue, but also have to guard against the sea army of the Caspian Sea behind them.
.
Therefore, Situ Ying's negotiations went very smoothly, and the two parties could be said to hit it off. This afternoon, Situ Ying also secretly signed an alliance agreement with Jiang Xia on behalf of Li Tian. However, only a few ministers knew about all this.
It is going on secretly. The King of Jiangxia is also preparing to announce this important news when he goes to court tomorrow. And in the palace, accompanied by the Queen, he will hold a dinner to entertain the New Moon State Master Situ Ying.
Situ Ying was just joking and revealed that Li Tian, Shenshi and others were going to the Long family for a banquet tonight. In the past two days, Xiaye City was full of soldiers. King Jiangxia received countless reports in a day. He already knew that Li Tian and
The grievances of the Long family.
If Situ Ying didn't come to the palace, the king could still turn a blind eye and let the Long family and Li Tian continue to make trouble. But it's different now. The two sides have reached a secret agreement. What will happen to Li Tian Tian?
, he, the king, really can’t bear to walk around in circles.
His Majesty the King of Jiangxia did not dare to neglect, and quickly sent Bai Xuan, the commander of the palace guards, to lead the guards to personally invite Li Tian and others. Firstly, it gave the Long family a hint that Li Tian and the Long family could not mess with this, and secondly, he also asked Bai Xuan to protect him.
Good luck to Li Tian's safety.
Li Tian ignored the angry threat of the magic stick and walked up to Mr. Long with a smile, "Mr. Long, it is also a blessing for the Long family to have an elder like you as the head of the family. Li hopes that the Long family can continue to develop.
.In terms of the Long family's industry, it is considered a very important family power not only in Jiangxia but also in several other countries. However, the family has a big business and must cultivate future generations in order to carry it forward from generation to generation. Otherwise, sooner or later, Long will be
My family will be destroyed at the hands of my descendants. This is what I, Li Tian, say from the bottom of my heart. I hope Mr. Long will not take offense."
Mr. Long said with emotion: "Yijun Yixiao Minqianqiu! I have only heard about Chaodu Long before, but now it seems that with you, Mr. Li Tian, it is no wonder that there can become the most powerful force today. I have not seen it.
Before Lord Li Tian, among the young people, Long admired Guihe's military advisor Yang Sheng more. But comparing the two of you, Yang Sheng should be said to be smarter than you, Lord Li Tian, but what he lacks is your calmness and less
He has gained a sense of domineering power. From this point of view, the ghost military master wins and loses well."
When Li Tian heard this, he laughed and said: "Haha, the old man is flattering me. To be honest, compared with Yang Sheng, he is slightly better than me in every aspect. It's just that Yang Sheng fights alone, and I, Li Tian, am different from him
The only thing is that he has a few more close friends than him." As he said that, Li Tian pointed at the magic stick and Guo Jing and said: "In terms of essays, I have a group of brothers like Mr. Divine Envoy to help me. In terms of military strategy, there are also Xiang Guo
Having brothers like my eldest brother to support me is what makes me stronger than Yang Sheng. On the battlefield, I completely trust my brothers. What Yang Sheng does is to make his subordinates completely trust him. The difference between the two is that
, the latter lacks any flexibility in the ever-changing battle."
"Wonderful~ What a wonderful thing to say. Long really has an idea. My Long family's industry has been stagnant. It seems that I also lack trust in my subordinates. Mr. Li Tian, if there is a chance, Long will come back someday.
I invite you and let’s have a good chat.”
"Absolutely. I can't delay His Majesty's invitation for too long. Li Tian would like to say goodbye. I hope Mr. Long will also visit Chaodu if he has time. Li Tian welcomes you at any time."
The two people were talking politely, and Shengun, Guo Jing and others also came to Li Tian's side. The three of them were about to go to the Jiangxia Palace with the guard commander Bai Xuan. Suddenly, three people jumped out from beside the eldest son of the Long family.
He slashed at Li Tian with the knife at the same time.
No one expected that there would be a sudden attack at this time. Fortunately, Guo Jing and Bai Xuan reacted very quickly. Guo Jing raised her leg and kicked the incense table in front of them towards the two of them. Bai Xuan also
He drew the knife and picked up another person.
Li Tian quickly pulled the magic stick and retreated several meters away. Faced with such a thing, Li Tian didn't know if the Long family was trying to break up with him for the sake of family wealth. Mr. Long was also shocked, because these three people were not his dragon.
They were people sent by the ghost strategist Yang Sheng. They had been hiding in the dark with Young Master Long. Unexpectedly, they launched an attack at this time. This really made it hard for the Long family to defend themselves.
The three people who made the sneak attack were three brothers named Ruan. They used to live outside the Pass. They were known as the Three Heroes outside the Pass. Their martial arts included hard skills such as practicing the iron shirt. This time Yang Sheng made a secret visit and took the opportunity to convince the three of them.
He was planning to follow him back to Guihe to serve. It happened that something happened between Li Tian and the Long family, so Yang Sheng sent three people to help the Long family.
Seeing that Li Tian was about to leave, the three of them were unwilling to go back just like that, and also wanted to make a great contribution in front of Yang Sheng.
Originally, the three Ruan brothers had a good idea. Even if Guo Jing was better at martial arts than them, they would still be able to escape safely if they killed Li Tian. After all, with one against three, Guo Jing might not be able to defeat him in an instant.
The three brothers won it.
However, the three of them did not expect that the guard commander Bai Xuan was also a master. In one-on-one combat, he was no worse than any of the three.
"Third brother, I'll hold off Guo Jing, and you go and kill Li Tian." As soon as the eldest brother of the three brothers said this, the two of them immediately separated.
Guo Jing was also a little anxious. His heavy palms just now hit the two of them as if they were hitting hard rocks. Although the two of them grinned in pain, Guo Jing did not have a weapon in his hand, so he suddenly took it
They had no choice. Once the two were separated, Guo Jing could only stop one of them. Li Tian had no expert to protect him. This was what Guo Jing was most anxious about.
"Come here, stop them quickly!" Only then did Mr. Long remember to call the people from the Long family to help, and the guards in the palace also began to surround Li Tian and Shengun.
"Damn! I still want to assassinate Li Tian. You need to go through my level first. Look at the hidden weapons!" The magic stick became more energetic when he saw someone protecting him. The small iron rod on his body came in handy.
As soon as he raised his hand, the small iron rod flew out, then he threw the kitchen knife in his waist, and finally he smashed the bag of incense ash.
Ruan Laosan slashed down two Long family guards with his sword. He was about to come over when he heard that there was a hidden weapon, so he didn't dare to be careless. When he saw something flying towards him, he didn't know what kind of hidden weapon it was, so he raised his sword and flicked it.
With a bang, the small iron rod flew into the air. Now Ruan Laosan felt confident, because this "hidden weapon" had no strength at all, and he knew at a glance that the person who used the hidden weapon was a mallet.
Another strike knocked the magic stick's kitchen knife away. The third strike was done carelessly, and there was a "plop" sound, and the ashes scattered in all directions. Ruan Laosan was unprepared this time, and his face was all covered with it.
Yes, he couldn't open his eyes. He didn't know if it was poisonous, so he quickly closed his breath to protect his eyes.
Young Master Long also saw the opportunity and thrust his sword at Ruan Laosan. The sword in his hand was a sword. Ruan Laosan could not withstand the sharpness of the sword no matter how hard he was.
"Ah!" Ruan Laosan screamed, and Young Master Long's sword ### hit Ruan Laosan's right rib. Ruan Laosan was also furious, endured the pain, and struck back with a knife, slashing at Young Master Long's front.
On the chest.
With a 'plop' sound, blood spurted out, and Young Master Long also screamed and fell to the ground.
