Li Yiming and the four of them walked through the streets and alleys under the belt of the small bun, and soon, they gradually walked out of the bustling center of Xiyao City, and were heading towards the remote suburbs of Xiyao City, seeing that the sun in the sky was about to descend into the mountains.

Zhao Dezhu said impatiently: "Little Baozi, you said that it only takes an hour, we have been on the road for an hour and a half, can we be considered to have walked out of the boundary of Xiyao City?"

Xiao Baozi replied: "Childe, look ahead, the city gate is there, out of the city gate, even if you walk out of the boundary of Xiyao City!"

Zhao Dezhu tried to look forward, and sure enough, he vaguely saw the city gate in front of him, but just when Zhao Dezhu just wanted to breathe a sigh of relief, the city gate in front of him actually began to close, and Zhao Dezhu was dumbfounded!

Zhao Dezhu said to Li Yiming: "Brother, it's not good! This is the rhythm of closing the city gate!"

Li Yiming has holy pupils, and he can see it more clearly than Zhao Dezhu: "I also saw it, it seems that the reaction of Yaochi is not slow, hurry up and close the city gate before we go out of the city!"

Zhao Dezhu proposed: "If we sit on the flying magic weapon, can we fly over the city gate and leave directly?"

Jian Yi said ruthlessly: "Childe, this is Xiyao City, closing the city gate means that the defense array of the entire Xiyao City will also be activated, Childe, look at the birds in the sky!"

Li Yiming and Zhao Dezhu looked in the direction of the sword, and saw that the birds in the sky seemed to have hit some invisible wall, flapping their wings in place, but they couldn't fly out, and they kept wandering in the sky!

Li Yiming asked Jian Yi, "Brother Jian Yi, how should this be?"

Jian Yi thought for a moment: "Now that the city gate is closed, we must not get close to the city gate again, we have a total of five people, if the city gate guards find out that we want to force out of the city, we can only bring more trouble to ourselves! We can only find a place to temporarily hide and perch! Of course, we can't go back to the inn, we want another place to live!"

After hearing this, Xiao Baozi suggested: "If you don't mind, you can stay in my house temporarily, my house is near here, if the city gate is reopened, we can also get out of the city as soon as possible, I don't know if the son and young lady mind the poor conditions in my home!"

Li Yiming said: "On behalf of everyone, I have thanked you Xiao Baozi first, then temporarily rest in Xiao Baozi's house, let's think about it in the long run, and when the city gate opens, we will go out of the city!

Then under the leadership of Xiao Baozi, Li Yiming and the others changed their route to Xiao Baozi's house to live temporarily.

......

At this time, in the City Lord's Mansion of Xiyao City, Liu Xi'er, the Queen Mother of the West, and the Holy Maiden Liu Yufei, were discussing something with a middle-aged man in a four-clawed robe in the meeting hall of the City Lord's Mansion!

You must know that the emperor of a dynasty is qualified to wear the dragon robe of the five-clawed golden dragon, and the prince is the four-clawed robe, and the general prince is a two-clawed python robe.

But at this time, this middle-aged man was wearing a four-clawed python robe, which shows that he has a noble status in the Tang Dynasty and is trusted and favored by the emperor! That's right, the man is the king of Zhennan, Li Yu, who was born and died with Li Yuanba, although he is not a brother, but his feelings are better than that of his brother!

Liu Xi'er opened her mouth and said: "Thank you really for His Royal Highness King Zhennan this time, if it weren't for His Highness's willingness to help, our Yaochi Holy Land would be in big trouble!"

Li Yu put down the teacup in his hand and replied: "It's just a trivial matter, the Queen Mother of the West doesn't have to take it to heart, although I am ordered by the Tang Dynasty to settle in this West Yao City, but Yaochi is the only holy place in Luzhou in our west, and the matter of the holy land is the matter of my Tang Dynasty, I just hope that in the future, Yaochi can communicate more with our Tang Dynasty and communicate more, so as to contribute to the cultivation of a generation of young talents in Luzhou in our west!"

Liu Xi'er replied: "Of course, although our Yaochi is a holy place, it is also located in the western Luzhou boundary, as long as there are talented young talents willing to worship under our Yaochi Gate, my Yaochi will also open the door for the majority of young talents, welcome!"

"It's so good, the Queen Mother and the Holy Maiden came to visit my City Lord's Mansion today, just so I didn't have to go to Yaochi to visit you two!"

"Oh, King Zhennan has something that we need our Yao Chi to help, but it doesn't hurt to say it!"

"That's the case, you also know that in half a year, it will be the 500th birthday of His Majesty of the Tang Dynasty, and it happens to be the occasion of the scientific expedition, and this scientific expedition is called Enke!

Your Majesty recently sent me a will, I want to cooperate with the Yaochi Holy Land, and try to keep the candidates of the two subjects of literature and military in Luzhou in the west as much as possible, we have the family of the Zhuangzi sage of Chang'an City, and His Majesty wants Yaochi to cooperate with the Tang Dynasty to cultivate a new generation of young talents belonging to Luzhou in the west!

Because you also know that compared with the other two old dynasties, our Tang Dynasty lacks the foundation, and the second lacks talents, and the foundation will always accumulate slowly with the passage of time, but talents are indeed the resources that the major dynasties must compete for!

The Tang Dynasty showed its sincerity, as long as the young talents in this scientific expedition were willing to stay in Luzhou in the west to develop, the Tang Dynasty would provide cultivation resources, and Yaochi would be responsible for teaching the exercises.

After listening to this, Liu Xi'er felt that this might be an excellent opportunity to revive the Yaochi Holy Land! The Yaochi Holy Land only has some exercises left out, but in general, there are still several flawless inheritances that have been inherited, and the current Yaochi Holy Land lacks talents and resources, and now the Tang Dynasty has thrown out such an olive branch, how can Liu Xi'er not be moved!

As a young generation, Liu Yufei said after listening to the advice of King Zhennan: "Grandma, what are you still hesitating about? Young talents are all under our Yaochi Gate, and we, as the people of Luzhou in the west, will serve the Tang Dynasty again, this is a win-win situation! Do you want to be overwhelmed by the other three holy lands?"

Li Yu saw that Liu Xi'er still didn't agree on the spot, so he pushed the fire again: "I calculated the time, and the big competition of "Hidden Dragon List" in three years is almost here, if the time comes, there will be no disciples under Yaochi, and the queen mother will not accept it, how should the queen mother explain to the world?"

Moreover, after the big competition, ten disciples will be selected to go to the Demon Fortress to compete with the young generation of the demon clan, if any of these ten disciples belong to the Yao Chi sect, then the Queen Mother will revive the prestige of Yao Chi, it will not be empty talk! Besides, as long as it is a disciple of Yao Chi who went out, and it can be regarded as a person who went out of my Tang Dynasty, presumably His Majesty will also be happy!

Liu Xi'er finally couldn't resist Li Yu's continuous sugar-coated bombardment: "I promise Your Highness for the time being, but in the final result, I still need to go back to the Holy Land of Yaochi to hold a meeting of elders, I want to ask for the opinions of the elders, this matter is related to the future development of Yaochi, it's not that I can't trust Your Highness, and Your Majesty, it's that we must be cautious, and I hope His Royal Highness the King of Zhennan will understand!"

Li Yu nodded with satisfaction: "It is natural for the Queen Mother to respect the elders in Yaochi, anyway, Your Majesty's will has been passed on, everything is premised on the mutual consensus of both parties, this is a win-win situation, one party is unwilling, not reluctant, and the melon is not sweet!"

Liu Xi'er replied: "Thank you for Your Majesty's respect, thank Your Highness for your trust, my Yaochi Holy Land will definitely consider it carefully, and we will definitely take this matter seriously, at this time, I still beg the prince to help me Yaochi Holy Land search for these two people!

King Zhennan took over Liu Xi'er's portrait, which is really the portrait of Li Yiming and Zhao Dezhu after their disguise.

At this time, "Little Pepper" Li Hong fell two pigtails, carried the ball, and walked into the conference hall happily!

Li Yu hurriedly introduced Liu Xi'er and Liu Yufei: "This is the little girl, Li Hong! Hong'er hasn't seen the queen mother and the saint of the Yaochi Holy Land soon!"

Li Hong didn't dare to be rude and willful in front of Li Yu, so she quickly kicked the ball away, walked in front of Liu Xi'er and Liu Yufei, and bowed respectfully.

"Hong'er meets the Queen Mother of the West and the Holy Sister!"

Li Honger is wearing a scarlet dress today, with two pigtails tied on her head, and she walks with a flick of it, which is very cute!

Liu Yufei hurriedly picked up Li Hong: "Yo, isn't this our little county lord?

Liu Xi'er has no resistance to children, let alone Li Hong, who is noble and looks like a watery person!

"Your Highness, how old is this Hong'er?

Li Yu replied truthfully: "Don't hide it from the queen mother, the little girl is more than seven years old, and her mother died early, so I asked Your Majesty for a little more leisurely errand, and became a city lord in our Xiyao City, just want to spend a little more time and accompany her to grow up, who knows that the city lord of Xiyao City is not an idle errand, but she is used to her stinky fault, don't look at her so well-behaved now, if I am not in front of her, I will be a demon king of the world!

Liu Xi'er has no heirs herself, and she loves other people's cute children very much, and hugged Li Hong from Liu Yufei's arms, teasing Li Hong while returning to Li Yudao.

"I think you just don't have time to accompany Hong'er, how can Hong'er be so rude and willful as you say, I think she is very spiritual, has she ever tested the spiritual root?"

Li Yu saw that Liu Xi'er liked Li Hong very much, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration: "I see that the little girl and the queen mother are very close to each other, it is better to let Hong'er worship under your door, it is not convenient for me to take care of Hong'er as a big man in a few years, and there are many female cultivators in Yaochi, it is better to let Hong'er worship under the door of the queen mother, if Hong'er is homesick, you can return to the city lord's mansion to see me at any time, I wonder if the little girl has this blessing and can worship the queen mother's door?"

Before Liu Xi'er could speak, Liu Yufei said: "What's wrong with this! My aunt and grandmother have never accepted apprentices in their lives, if they accept Hong'er, it just so happens that my many younger sisters will be my companions!"

Liu Xi'er also thinks that this Li Hong is very cute, although Liu Yufei is a descendant of his brother, she can't be regarded as her disciple, maybe she should really accept a disciple to pass on her mantle!

"Your Royal Highness is serious, I think this Hong'er is very smart, and I am very close to Hong'er, if Hong'er has the will to worship me as a teacher, I will accept Hong'er as my first disciple, and it is also my closed disciple!"

Li Yu said to Li Hong solemnly: "Don't get down from the Queen Mother yet, hurry up and worship the Queen Mother as a teacher, this is your great blessing!

Li Hong was so well-behaved in front of Li Yu that she quickly jumped down from Liu Xi'er's arms, and obediently bowed to Liu Xi'er three times and bowed nine times: "Disciple Li Hong, meet the master!"

Liu Xi'er hurriedly helped Li Hong up: "Good apprentice, obedient!"

In this way, there was laughter and laughter in the City Lord's Mansion......
