The Imperial City of the Ming Dynasty, the top of the palace.
Li Jiang was wearing a purple robe and sitting on the ridge of the roof. He raised his wine gourd and took a sip of wine with a cool expression.
After swallowing "Gudong", he squinted his eyes and thought about it for a long time. Then he smashed it and said, "Have you watched it for so long? Haven't you seen enough?"
"It's almost past the appointed time! Have you forgotten me?"
"How could it be? If I forget, no one will forget you!"
"Did you keep a concubine outside and fell into a tender circle and couldn't get out?"
"Nonsense, I just had a little accident while in seclusion."
"Ah? Is it serious? Let's go down quickly and find an imperial doctor to take a look at you."
"No need! This is an internal injury that cannot be cured by the imperial doctor. I will take care of it slowly."
"ah……"
A low voice sounded, and a figure rushed to Li Jiang, snatched his wine bottle, and said angrily: "Why do you drink when you have internal injuries? Let's go, get out."
"Oh, okay. Give me the jug. It's made of fine mutton-fat white jade. Don't drop it." Li Jiang stretched out his hand and said.
"No. I'm not a weak woman with no strength, and you're still afraid that I won't be able to hold it steady! Come down quickly, and I'll go down and tell the maid to boil water for you to take a bath."
A slender figure jumped off the roof of the temple.
Li Jiang gave a wry smile and fell backwards, lying on the ridge of the roof.
Tonight is a sunny day, the moon hangs high in the sky, spreading bright light to the inside and outside of the imperial city.
Li Jiang saw the row upon row of palace roofs, the nine-curved corridors, and the dots of firelight in the palace.
There were waves of waves coming from the distance, and as far as the eye could see, the silver lake surface was sparkling.
Breathing the moist air blown by the wind, Li Jiang's mind became clear.
This is no longer a desperate place, this is the seat of the Central Committee of the Ming Dynasty, and this is the Xingsheng Palace, the residence of Duke Dingguo.
There is no Forbidden City here, and of course there is no decisive battle at the top of the Forbidden City.
However, Li Jiang had just completed his unprecedented battle with Lu Xiaofeng at the top of Qingshan Mountain.
Although saying this is a bit bragging, Li Jiang feels that this battle is fully worthy of the term "unparalleled".
Xiao Li's Flying Sword and Lingxi Yizhi, both are martial arts based on the Law of Cause and Effect, the strongest methods in the world.
One is sure to hit when you shoot, the other is sure to clip a weapon.
So who wins in the collision between spear and shield?
Well, it's sad to say that Li Jiang had a hundred ways to kill Lu Xiaofeng, but he lost in the competition between the two on the law of cause and effect.
Because he is not a son of the plane, he does not have the rules given by heaven.
His Xiao Li Flying Sword was so fast that even if he had an idea and used his true aura to simulate an electromagnetic gun to accelerate the flying sword, it was still caught between two fingers.
Li Jiang could swear that the muzzle velocity of the flying sword at that time must have reached or exceeded Mach 3, faster than the bullets of a sniper rifle. However, those two fingers were like an insurmountable mountain, which was disappointing.
In fact, although Lu Xiaofeng's fingers clamped the flying sword at that time, it was cut with blood by the zhenqi attached to the flying sword, which was equivalent to losing his fighting power.
Under this situation, Li Jiang could definitely fire another sword, but Lu Xiaofeng would not be able to take it no matter what. But how could a senior master be so incompetent?
It's not a life-or-death duel, it's just a competition of skills, so Li Jiang accepted defeat graciously.
Lu Xiaofeng didn't think so. His face was pale and his head was covered in cold sweat. It seemed that such a simple pinch had consumed all his energy. He also knew very well in his heart that he was actually defeated.
Before he could say any words of denial, Li Jiang had already drifted away.
All the members on Xiaoqingshan watched this mysterious Taoist who rose like a comet and turned the world upside down, and then passed by like a shooting star leaving a bright light behind, and then withdrew from the world.
After Li Jiang left, he did not choose to go to the new world. He spent 20,000 faith points to buy a return ticket and returned to Yitian World.
Now is his first night back.
Because of the different interfaces, he wandered outside for a few years, and when he came back, it happened to be the three years agreed with Zhao Min.
Therefore, Zhao Min's small anger is understandable.
After a while, Zhao Min's voice came from below: "Brother Haichuan, come down quickly, the water has been mixed and you can take a bath."
Li Jiang's childlike innocence grew, he stretched his neck and shouted: "Are you coming with me?"
There was a sound of stamping feet from below, and then a whisper through gritted teeth: "You must have been led astray by the little vixen outside. Let's see how I deal with you later!"
The muttering stopped, and a gentle voice sounded: "Okay, Brother Haichuan, come down quickly."
Ouch! Li Jiang shivered inexplicably, sniffed and wrapped himself in clothes, and said: "Mei Min, I was joking with you just now, come down right away..."
…
The next day, news of Li Jiang's return spread throughout the court.
Xingsheng Palace welcomed visitors from Wuyangyang.
They were headed by Prime Minister Yang Xiao, Fan Yao, Wei Yixiao, Leng Qian, and Zhu Yuanzhang all came, as did the self-proclaimed confidant Shang Tong Derong.
There are dozens of other officials, but only officials of third rank or above are eligible to enter the palace. Those below third rank are asked to stand outside.
However, none of them saw Li Jiang because Li Jiang went into the palace to meet the emperor Zhang Wuji.
Queen Zhou Zhiruo has given birth to an heir, a little princess who is almost one year old. Zhang Wuji held Li Jiang and refused to let him go. He happily talked about how he felt about becoming a father for the first time, and was extremely upset that Brother Li could not attend the princess's full moon banquet.
Pity.
Li Jiang finally said goodbye and went to Beigong to see Yin Tianzheng, and to the emperor's family temple to see Master Xie Xun.
It took him half a day to complete all the etiquette before returning to Xingqing Palace.
As soon as he entered Xingsheng Palace, everyone's enthusiasm almost set the house on fire. Li Jiang was forced to be approachable again. This person patted his shoulders and said a few words of encouragement, and that person pinched his hand and said a few words of praise. It took at least another half an hour to clear the old people in the yard.
Once sent away.
Among them, Tong Derong burst into tears and almost knelt down and hugged Li Jiang's thigh to keep him from leaving. If Li Jiang hadn't kicked him hard several times, he might have cheated and stayed.
After the huge crowd dispersed, the members of the military aircraft who had stepped down to greet them came forward with smiles.
Li Jiang laughed and stepped forward to hug them one by one, and then entered the main hall hand in hand.
While the tea was being served, everyone was having a good time again.
When the new tea was served, Li Jiang talked about business to Yang Xiao, "Old Yang, I have quit the military aircraft department and entered the noble group, so if I continue to live in this Xingsheng Palace, it will be unfair. I think I am still
Quit and find another place, otherwise the impact will be bad."
Yang Xiao was shocked and said anxiously: "Old Li, do you think I'm here to drive you away?"
Several other people also lost their composure and tried to persuade Li Jiang not to think too much.
Li Jiang took in all their reactions and felt pleased, but he still waved his hand and said, "Listen to me."
Everyone was sitting upright.
Li Jiang continued: "We overturned the old... and established the new..., and it seems to be running well so far. But who can guarantee that it will continue to run well? Will we change from the dragon slayers of the past to
What about the evil dragon we hated before? Even if our generation can guarantee that it will remain unchanged, what about the next generation? What about the next generation?"
Wei Yixiao asked: "What should we do?"
Li Jiangdao: "We can only rely on the system. There are no saints in this world, there are only systems that restrict people and make them close to saints. Therefore, while we are still on stage, we must set an example and write it down in the law."
He turned to Yang Xiao and said: "Since I started, Xingsheng Palace is the residence of the Prime Minister, and the one who leaves office must move out!"
After saying that, he looked around at the crowd without looking at Yang Xiao and said, "What do you think?"
Yang Xiao, Wei Yixiao, Fan Yao and Leng Qian didn't say anything. Only Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes flashed as if he was touched, and he said firmly: "I support Duke Dingguo!"
