When they came out of the Mo Knife Hall, everyone had a look of joy on their faces. Kou Zhong and others did it because Song Que was finally persuaded by Li Shimin and agreed to Kou Zhong's request to surrender. Yan Ling, through the spirit of this time with Song Que,
Confrontation, peeking into the threshold of becoming a master.
On the way back, apart from eating and other necessary activities, Yan Ling had been sitting in the ship's guest room, immersed in the magical state of the moment when he encountered Song Que's artistic conception of the Heavenly Sword.
As Yan Ling's understanding deepened, the essence and blood in his body were about to move. It seemed that a qualitative change would occur in the next moment, and he would enter the third level of the hegemonic body. However, in the end, it was a little less meaningful. Until the time when he and Kou Xu parted,
He also failed to successfully break through.
Li Shimin and Kou Xu respectively made the decision after discussing with them. After separation, Li Shimin and Yan Ling returned to Luoyang to delay their return to Chang'an, while Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling entered Chang'an first to prepare for the subsequent coup.
.
"Yan Ling, have you gained a lot from this trip?"
When Li Shimin and Yan Ling rushed back to Luoyang on the ship presented by Kou Zhong, Li Shimin couldn't help but ask.
After experiencing Song Quetian's unpredictable Heavenly Sword artistic conception, Li Shimin finally understood why no one dared to provoke the three great masters in the world. That overwhelming domineering attitude left a deep impression on Li Shimin. If
Yan Ling can also make a breakthrough and become a master-level expert. That would be a great event.
Especially now, in order to successfully capture Li Shimin, Li Jiancheng wrote to Li Yuan and invited Bi Xuan, the "Martial Master" among the three great masters, on the grounds that he hoped to reconcile with the Turks. Fu Cailin, the "Yijian Master", also requested a visit at the same time and wanted to challenge "
"Sanren Ning Daoqi" and "Heavenly Sword" Song Que.
In the city of Chang'an where masters gather, if Yan Ling breaks through, Li Shimin's chance of succeeding in his uprising will be much greater, and he will not be intimidated by the presence of masters.
Yan Ling said in a deep voice: "We have gained something, but we are still far from a breakthrough."
"That's it." A flash of disappointment flashed in Li Shimin's eyes, but he immediately returned to normal. Man's plan is up to God, and Li Shimin has long understood that Yan Ling's breakthrough would be the best, and if there is no breakthrough, it will not affect their grand plan.
"Don't worry, King Qin!" Yan Ling was alert at the moment and said confidently: "Although I haven't been able to break through the realm, it doesn't mean that I don't have the strength to fight against the Grandmaster!"
In fact, the Grandmaster does pay attention to the spiritual conception, but the physical strength and Qi cultivation cannot be ignored. They are complementary to each other. As long as the Grandmaster cannot completely suppress Yan Ling mentally, then it is still unclear who will win and who will lose.
.
"Really?" Li Shimin's eyes lit up, but he was still a little confused. He was a strong master himself, and it was because of this that he understood the terror of masters like Song Que.
Li Shimin is not afraid of fighting on the battlefield, because masters are still mortals after all, and they are not so fantasy that they can cover the sky with one hand. In the fight of thousands of troops, masters cannot play much role, but in the street fighting in Chang'an City, masters can't play a big role.
, the destructive power it can exert is too terrifying!
"It's absolutely true!" Yan Ling has never doubted his own strength.
Li Shimin was overjoyed and said: "It is truly a blessing for the people of the world to have Yan Ling's help!"
Regarding Chang'an's plan, Li Shimin no longer has any worries at this time. He has Cihang Jingzhai in front of him, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling behind him to help him, and he also has masters like Yan Ling under his command. If he still cannot ascend to the throne, it can only be said to be God's will.
.
A month passed quickly. During this month, Li Shimin seemed to be fine, as if nothing had happened. He managed things in Luoyang and managed Luoyang in an orderly manner.
Li Shimin was born to achieve great things. The more critical moments came, the more Li Shimin could calm down and calm his mind, and he could imprint the world in his heart and make various arrangements.
Nowadays, Li Yuan is more and more wary of Li Shimin, and the edict ordering Li Shimin to return to Chang'an is becoming more and more urgent. After all, Li Shimin can no longer delay. At this time, Gao Zhong and Xu Ziling also returned from Chang'an. After everyone gathered together, they rushed to Chang'an together.
"Bang bang bang!"
Gas firecrackers were fired outside the Zhuque Gate in Chang'an, and fireworks shot into the sky.
Li Yuan took off his royal robe, put on a light warrior uniform, and led all the civil and military officials of the Tang Dynasty to greet Kou Zhong. Because Kou Zhong came to Chang'an this time in the name of discussing a joint north-south resistance against the Turks, Li Yuan, as the master of the north, naturally needed to deal with Kou Zhong.
Express enough sincerity.
"Junior Kou Zhong, I have met the Valve Master!"
Kou Zhong had a bright smile on his face, but there was a hint of toughness in his words. He made it clear that he did not recognize Li Yuan's identity as emperor. He was indeed an invincible young marshal who had learned the art of swordsmanship and joined the army. Only a tough attitude would let Li Yuan know that he was here.
To form an alliance, not to surrender.
But Li Yuan is not a simple character. He simply replied: "It is indeed better to meet than to be famous. Meeting is far better than being famous. The heroic character of the Young Marshal is really impressive. On behalf of the subjects of the Tang Dynasty, I, Li Yuan, would like to welcome the Young Marshal.
As long as the young commander comes here with sincerity, Li Yuan will not let the young commander leave empty-handed."
Li Yuan made a double entender without losing his identity. He understood the fact that it was Kou Zhong who wanted to come to Chang'an to make peace, and he firmly took the initiative in his hands.
For a moment, many ministers behind Li Yuan were watching the exchange of words between Li Yuan and Kou Zhong, with different expressions on their faces. The ministers who were close to Li Jiancheng frowned slightly, wondering why Kou Zhong had such a tough attitude and had a grudge against Kou Zhong.
The leader of the Yuwen Clan, Yuwen Shang, wished that Li Yuan would immediately order the capture of Kou Zhong.
The ministers of the neutral faction were frightened, fearing that if Li Yuan couldn't help it, the opportunity for cooperation between the North and the South that had been obtained with great difficulty would evaporate, and the world would fall into strife again.
However, Kou Zhong and Li Yuan were not short-sighted people after all, and their verbal exchanges were measured and the final handshake heralded both sides' good expectations for this North-South alliance.
The drums played and the reception ceremony came to an end.
After the two parties entered the palace from the Suzaku Gate, they separated. Li Yuan, Li Shimin, and Li Jiancheng returned to their respective palaces, while Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling took the opportunity to visit "Yijian Master" Fu Cailin. After all, this was the first martial arts they learned.
It was the Nine-Xuan Dafa taught by Fu Junma, a disciple of Fu Cailin. Fu Cailin was still their master in name.
Yan Ling did not return to Lingyun Military Camp, but accompanied Li Shimin to the Yeting Palace in the west of the imperial city. This was Li Shimin's palace in the imperial city and corresponded to Li Jiancheng's East Palace.
Nowadays, the situation in Chang'an City is complicated, and Yan Ling does not dare to stay away from Chang'an. Otherwise, if Li Shimin is successfully assassinated by other forces, it will be too late to truly regret it, especially after learning from Xu Ziling and Gao Zhong that the Evil King Shi Zhixuan and other magic sect masters
At this time, they also gathered in Chang'an, and Yan Ling did not dare to take it lightly.
"Thanks a lot!"
On the way back to the palace, Li Shimin sighed softly to Yan Ling.
Yan Ling said with a smile: "King Qin should know that my lifelong pursuit is martial arts. Now the masters from all over the world have gathered in Chang'an City, which is the most coveted martial arts training ground. After this battle, if I am lucky enough to survive, my strength will definitely improve. King Qin is happy because of me."
"
"Then congratulate Yan Ling in advance for taking your cultivation to a higher level!" Li Shimin smiled. He knew that this was not Yan Ling comforting him, but Yan Ling's nature. Just like the previous battle between Luoyang and Shibi, he longed for
Hone your martial arts by fighting against the world's masters.
Yan Ling smiled slightly, and the mental confrontation with Song Que left him only one step away from the master level. Now there are three grand masters waiting for him in Chang'an City. Yan Ling believes that after truly fighting against the masters, he will
Your cultivation level will definitely lead to a successful breakthrough! (To be continued)
