Looking at the elixir that Li Jing took out, Li Ping'an's little soul raised his hand and twisted his face.
Good guy, Li Jing wants to directly control the future King of Shang?
It was indeed Li Pingan who asked this guy to build some connections;
But I didn’t let this guy turn all the officials in the government and the public into puppets!
However, don’t talk about this yet…
If Zishou is not Donghuang Taiyi, then Li Jing's operation will greatly benefit Heavenly Court.
But now it puts Li Ping'an in trouble.
How to remind Li Jing that there is a mixed bag of good and bad people in Chaoge City now, and Zi Shou has a special status and cannot be easily moved?
There's no way he could reveal his identity directly to Li Jing, right? If Li Jing fell into the hands of a master and had his soul searched, wouldn't he also be exposed?
He also wants to use Ji Dan's identity to do many things.
Letting Li Jing know that he, the Emperor of Heaven, had personally met his end, and that he and Donghuang Taiyi were brothers, would also somewhat affect the majestic image of the Emperor of Heaven himself.
Li Ping'an's thoughts changed quickly, and Li Jing stepped forward and presented the gift with a smile.
Li Ping'an smiled and said: "This is a gift given by General Li to His Highness first. I have to give it to General Li personally. How dare Ji Dan do it for me? General Li is here to invite you. Please take my carriage. Wangcheng
There are many rules, I have a few words to tell Mr. Li."
oh?
Li Jing raised his eyebrows slightly.
The relationship was so good that when I wanted to sleep, someone handed me a pillow.
He was looking for an opportunity to test this young man's weight and see if it was worth his while to win over him.
At that moment, Li Jing agreed with a smile and raised his hand to invite.
He did not bring any guards with him, but entered Li Ping'an's carriage alone and returned to Chaoge City with the convoy.
At first, the atmosphere in the car was a little dull.
Li Jing stared at the brocade box in his hand with a smile, thinking about how to test the fourth son of Xibohou;
Li Ping'an skillfully picked up a scroll of bamboo slips and began to read the lines on the bamboo slips.
suddenly.
"Fourth Young Master..."
"General Li."
"Haha," Li Jing laughed twice and said warmly, "Fourth Young Master, please enlighten me."
Li Ping'an nodded with a smile and said warmly: "If I remember correctly, General Li has only been in the army for a few years, right?"
"It is indeed like this," Li Jing sighed with a smile, "I had to meet a wise man, who promoted me regardless of his background, and betrothed my daughter to Li, and that's how Li became what he is today."
Li Ping'an continued: "I saw in the battle reports collected by the palace that General Li was very brave. He once broke into the Dongyi barbarian camp single-handedly and killed thousands of barbarians."
"Thousands? That's an exaggeration."
Li Jing smiled casually:
"Li is just proficient in some martial arts and has been practicing martial arts since he was a child."
"Practice martial arts?"
Li Pingan said with a smile:
"I thought General Li was not practicing martial arts, but cultivating immortality."
Li Jing's expression suddenly became stiff.
He stared at Li Ping'an and found that the young man had a delicate face, and his facial lines did not have many edges and corners. He looked harmless, but at the moment when the word "cultivation to immortality" came out of his mouth, there was really an elusive feeling.
Li Jing smiled and said: "How do you say this, Fourth Young Master?"
"That depends on how Mr. Li understands it."
Li Pingan put down the bamboo slips in his hand and said slowly:
"Does General Li think that there are only five immortals in Nanzhou?"
Li Jing's expression remained unchanged, and his immortal consciousness had already wrapped up a sword in the stored magic weapon.
Li Ping'an continued to speak slowly: "If you don't talk about anything else, there are groups of masters in the royal capital now. General Li must have seen it with his immortal consciousness before, and a big tiger suddenly appeared in the city.
, if this tiger is alive, will General Li be sure to deal with it?"
Li Jing almost stopped breathing.
He cupped his hands, still acting calmly, as if someone had just revealed a small matter.
Li Jing said: "Fourth Young Master, if you have anything to say, please speak directly. Li is indeed not clear about it."
"Then I won't show off," Li Ping'an pointed to the top, and then pointed to each other, "Your Majesty asked me to bring you a message. There are many masters in the city now, and His Highness Zishou is the reincarnation of Emperor Taiyi of the East. At this moment, you
What you need to do is to be patient and dormant, and don't expose your own cultivation. Here is a formula for you to cover up your own cultivation."
Li Ping'an's lips moved slightly, and a mantra emerged in Li Jing's heart.
Li Jing worked a little and realized that this was a clever method of concealing aura.
But he didn't completely believe Li Ping'an. He pretended to be excited, clasping his fists and holding his hands in his hands. His words still contained many temptations:
"Thank you, fellow Taoist... Fellow Taoist, you are talking about His Majesty, but His Majesty King Shang is not unconscious?"
"Zhu Yunzong, Li Dazhi, Yan Sheng, Gu Qingcheng."
The corners of Li Jing's mouth twitched violently several times.
Li Pingan squinted and smiled:
"General Li, don't be offended. The burden on my shoulders is heavier than that of General Li. Now I am trying to get close to Donghuang Taiyi to find the whereabouts of the Chaos Bell."
"Had it not been forced by the situation this time, I would not have taken the initiative to say this to General Li.
"A few days ago, Taoist Lu Ya knew about Donghuang Taiyi and came here to visit. Then Taoist Lu Ya sent a message to the masters of the monster clan in the three realms, talking about the reincarnation of Donghuang, and tried to gather a group of monsters in the name of Donghuang to plot against heaven.
.
"This matter is also related to the battle of Chanjie.
"General Li, you are rushing in at this time, which is really embarrassing."
Donghuang Taiyi?
Li Jing felt a little scared when he thought about it, and then his blood surged up.
Taoist Lu Ya's immortal-killing flying knife once posed many threats to the Human Emperor in the Battle of Xizhou, and even chopped off the heads of more than ten human masters. It is the first-class enemy of the human race.
"Since we know that Lu Ya is here, why don't you and I ask Your Majesty to mobilize troops and generals to surround and kill this thief!"
"There's no rush."
Li Pingan said:
"Who do you think told Lu Ya that Donghuang Taiyi was here?"
"who?"
"The Chaos Clock and the Transcendent."
Li Pingan said slowly:
"According to His Majesty's understanding of the Transcendents, by choosing to let Lu Ya know about this matter, he had already calculated exactly what Lu Ya would do next.
"So, the current situation can also be regarded as a deliberate act by the Transcendents. No matter how many experts are mobilized, they cannot stop the Chaos Clock from rescuing Lu Ya.
"You must seize the opportunity and hit it with one strike, leaving the Chaos Bell unable to be saved. Even if you pay some price for it, you can bear it."
Li Jing thought carefully.
Although he knew only a little about the Transcendent One, he also knew that it was a great demon that was very likely to destroy the world.
"Follow your instructions in everything!"
Li Jing then greeted with a smile:
"I wonder what your status is above, sir, so that Li Jing can have some idea."
"He's just an old man who likes to tease people. This is my real reincarnation."
Li Pingan waved his hand and continued:
"We are about to enter Chaoge City. Please forget what we just said as soon as possible. I am the fourth son of Xibohou, and you are Li Jing of Chentangguan. We are thousands of miles apart and we meet each other for the first time today.
"But from today on, we can also take care of each other.
"You also need to improve your methods of controlling other people. I have another trick here..."
Li Jing's expression was a little more respectful.
The young man in front of me is calm and has many methods. He himself cannot tell that this young man has any cultivation, but this young man can directly communicate with him.
but……
Although this young man has completely pointed out his heel, he will not take it lightly.
You still need to verify it carefully later. Don’t look at what the young man said, but look at what he did.
Next time His Majesty the Emperor of Heaven issues an order, you can also ask for evidence.
The carriage swayed towards the city gate. The middle-aged man and the handsome young man inside also chatted about the military formation. By the time they returned to the palace, it was already two hours later.
Chaoge City is so huge.
…
Li Ping'an always felt that Donghuang Taiyi had heard of Li Jing.
Due to the incident about the big black tiger in the city, Donghuang Taiyi was busy running around for half a day, and his mental state was not good. But when he heard that Li Jing had arrived, he immediately became energetic and his eyes became more curious.
When he met with Li Jing later, Donghuang Taiyi expressed his love and cherishment of talents, and specifically asked Li Jing how old his two sons were now.
Especially Donghuang Taiyi said:
"If Mr. Li has three sons, he can't just call them Huo Zha. One is Jin Zha and the other is Wood Zha. Does it mean that Mr. Li wants to give birth to a Five Elements Encyclopedia?"
Li Jing could only laugh awkwardly at this.
It is not uncommon for Donghuang Taiyi to be unable to chat.
As for the so-called serious matter reported by Li Jing, that is, the unusual movements in the Dongyi tribe, Donghuang Taiyi did not take it to heart. He only encouraged Li Jing with a few words of encouragement and gave some rewards to the eight general soldiers.
Donghuang Taiyi also said: "Chaoge City has not been very peaceful recently, and some monsters and ghosts have begun to appear. As the commander-in-chief of the place, Li Aiqing is not suitable to live in Chaoge City for a long time."
Li Jing glanced at Ji Dan who was dozing next to him, cupped his hands and said: "The general understands His Highness's intention and will return to Chentangguan tonight!"
"That's not the case," Dong Huangtai said. "As far as I know, there is no Dongyi tribe stationed outside Chentang Pass. The Dongyi tribe retreated two thousand miles just to avoid General Li's soldiers."
Li Jing hurriedly said: "Those barbarians are intimidated by the majesty of His Majesty and His Highness."
"Hey, let's chat in private and don't make such nonsense."
Donghuang Taiyi said seriously:
"General Li can ask the other seven generals to return first to protect the pass so that Dongyi will not take advantage of it.
"Later, Chaoge City will allocate food and grass to assist the generals.
"As for General Li, there is no war at Chentangguan for the time being, and Chaoge City is employing people. It would be better for General Li to stay for a few months and take a military post from outside the city to prevent any disturbance during the night."
Li Jing frowned and thought.
He is really here to run the network;
However, there are indeed some risks in getting involved easily in the power struggle between the eldest prince and the eldest prince, especially when he cannot control one of them and can only go with the flow.
Considering that the young prince in front of him is the reincarnation of Donghuang Taiyi, and the task of this senior Ji Dan is to get close to Donghuang Taiyi...
"The last general takes command!"
Li Jing agreed happily and knelt down on one knee with his fist clasped:
"It is Li's duty to uphold the right path!"
Donghuang Taiyi nodded with satisfaction and said warmly: "General Soldier Li will rest in the city first. I will order someone to clean a house for the General Soldier. If the General Soldier has any questions later, he can go directly to the palace to see me."
"The general will definitely live up to His Highness's trust!"
Li Ping'an blinked at the side and looked at the satisfied look on Donghuang Taiyi's face.
Is it possible...
When Donghuang Taiyi was practicing with the detached teacher, he heard the detached teacher talk about the story of Fengshen?
This is a key piece of information, which is very important for Li Ping'an to support some speculations.
Of course, this could also be what Donghuang saw when he was playing with the clock.
Unfortunately, he couldn't directly ask Donghuang Taiyi, "Brother, are you watching Fengshen?" He could only piece together and speculate through a few words.
Li Jing got the order and rushed back to the guild hall to inform the other seven general soldiers that later thousands of his own soldiers who had been trained by him and some with strong spiritual training would be transferred from Chentangguan to ride to Chaoge City.
The military system of the Shang State was simple and strict, and foreign soldiers were not allowed to enter the customs without authorization.
But now that Li Jing has a son who is endorsed, he is naturally not afraid of this. Only by deploying some personal soldiers can he play a role at the critical moment.
In a blink of an eye, it's night time again.
Li Pingan yawned and wanted to go back to his attic to sleep, but was stopped by Donghuang Taiyi.
"What's wrong, Your Highness? Isn't Li Jing's matter settled?"
Li Pingan responded feebly:
"A big tiger also appeared in the city today, and His Highness's method of dealing with it was really clever.
"On my way back, I heard people in the streets saying that the gods have responded to your request, Your Highness, and you will be the future wise king of the Shang Kingdom.
"Oh, this method makes me think, I can't even think of it. And why can you be so sure, Your Highness, that the gods will really do what you say?"
"Because whoever did this is not a god."
Donghuang Taiyi put down the letter and carving knife, stood up and moved his numb thighs, and muttered:
"I'm afraid you won't believe me if I tell you something. The world is far from as simple as you see.
"Next, I'm afraid that some big disasters will happen in Chaoge City. I previously discussed issuing a decree to let the people of Li dig cellars at home. If disaster strikes later, they can hide in the cellars. The probability of survival will be higher.
"Alas, these guys, times have changed, but they are still the same. They don't care about the life and death of ordinary living beings."
Li Ping'an said in a deep voice: "To be honest with you, Your Highness, I recently read some parchment scrolls and saw that there seems to be something about Qi training in ancient times..."
"Don't worry about this."
Donghuang Taiyi said seriously:
"That world is so majestic that even mortals would be envious of it once they get a glimpse of it.
"You still have your mission."
Li Ping'an blinked: "My mission?"
"Well, I've said a lot today, so I won't reveal much to you."
Donghuang Taiyi said warmly:
"In another twenty or thirty years, you will be able to start an extraordinary journey. Your current intelligence and wisdom are all to prepare for this journey ahead."
Li Pingan: This guy even knows about Zhou Gong Ji Dan?
The Duke of Zhou established the Zhou rites and quelled the rebellion of the three prisons. He was indeed a virtuous prime minister and was highly praised by later generations of Confucians.
This is not the myth of Li Pingan’s hometown;
This is the history of my hometown.
There is probably only one channel for Donghuang Taiyi to know about these things.
His father told him.
"Huh?" Donghuang Taiyi waved his big hand in front of Li Ping'an, "What are you thinking about?"
"Your Highness, you feel weird," Li Ping'an sighed, "Why did you suddenly say this?"
"Well, I feel sad that things are changing in ways I didn't expect."
Donghuang Taiyi smiled and said:
"Okay, go back and rest. I can handle these things. You can read books and learn etiquette honestly later. When you are an adult and stronger, I will find you some light-bodied women to be your concubines.
room."
Li Ping'an:......
A remnant of the nine-tailed fox's soul has already been reincarnated.
You are so unrestrained now, will your heart really not collapse when you meet your Zhi for the first time?
Li Pingan thought carefully about it on the way back to the attic.
Not to mention, the nine-tailed fox's love brain, which has been cultivated through hundreds of thousands of years of self-hypnosis, might actually be secretly happy that his teacher prescribed sexual caution, thinking that she could also get a piece of the pie.
Um?
When he was about to enter the attic, Li Ping'an suddenly stopped at his feet, and a faint light flashed in his eyes.
