Chapter 548: Godmother
When there were only two people left, Li Tiancheng and Li Gang, Li Tiancheng's face became serious.
"Marshal, do you know why I sent He'er to the wild land of Western Xinjiang this time?"
Li Gang shook his head and said: "I am also a little puzzled by the emperor's move, as far as I know, several elders of Tianxuanzong did not say anything about going to the Western Xinjiang, this matter should be decided by the emperor himself." ”
"Yes, this matter is indeed my own decision, and Tianxuanzong did not give me any instructions, but although Tianxuanzong did not give me any instructions, another person gave me instructions."
Li Gang's expression changed and he said, "Who is it?" Who else can make the emperor make such a big decision with a single sentence...... Could it be ......?"
A helpless expression appeared on Li Tiancheng's face, and said: "That's right, this matter was asked by my godmother to do it, although she didn't say it explicitly, but the meaning is obvious, the spirit stone veins in the Central Plains are becoming poorer and poorer, and it is already urgent to find new spirit stone veins." ”
Li Gang said: "Why did the godmother suddenly meddle in these affairs, hasn't her old man been in retreat and cultivation in the back mountain of Tianxuanzong?" Sectarian matters are governed by the sect master and several elders, and mundane matters are rarely involved in the godmother. ”
Li Tiancheng said: "The godmother has already cultivated out of the mountain, perhaps it is precisely because there are fewer and fewer high-grade spirit stones for the godmother's cultivation, so the godmother has gone out of the mountain in advance, and I just got the news that the godmother has sent his personal maid to Zhengtang, maybe it will come in a while, the last time the maid came, she just met with me in a hurry, and conveyed the meaning of the godmother." I left in a hurry, and after thinking about it repeatedly, I immediately decided to send He'er to the wilderness of Western Xinjiang. ”
Li Gang's expression sank, what Emperor Li Tiancheng said just now, he had never heard it, and he didn't know about his godmother's departure from the mountain, with his relationship with several elders of Tianxuanzong, Tianxuanzong had any instructions, and he definitely knew about it earlier than Emperor Li Tiancheng, but he didn't know anything about it. The only reason. It was this matter that the godmother did not inform the sect master and several elders of the Tianxuan Sect, but privately asked Li Tiancheng to do it.
The so-called godmother, in Li Gang's heart, is an extremely powerful and mysterious existence. The godmother is said to be over a thousand years old. When the Tianxuan Sect was founded. It is an elder-level figure in the sect, and it is also the one with the highest cultivation strength in the entire Tianxuan Sect, and none of the other elders of the Tianxuan Sect can break through the bottleneck of "immortality". Only this godmother, whose cultivation has reached an unfathomable level, has broken away from the ** mortal womb, and now she is only half a step away from stepping through the void and becoming an immortal.
The godmother's status in the Tianxuan Sect is supreme, whether it is her seniority or her cultivation strength, it is incomparable to the current Tianxuan Sect Master and several elders, it can be said that once this godmother comes out of the mountain, the entire Tianxuan Sect is her final say.
Li Gang and Li Tiancheng were talking, when they suddenly felt the air around them sink, and a woman appeared in front of them without warning, as if out of thin air.
Seeing this woman, Li Tiancheng and Li Gang hurriedly bent down to salute and said in unison: "Good maid." ”
"No need to be polite, get up."
The handmaiden who suddenly appeared here walked slowly towards them, seemingly walking slowly, but in fact the speed was so fast that they could not see the movement of her footsteps, and her feet were covered by the heavy robes, which made people look a little weird.
The maid stood in front of Li Tiancheng and Li Gang and said, "I heard that the emperor is coming to your son's birthday, and my godmother also asked me to bring a gift to the emperor, a birth pill, after taking it, it can increase the life span by thirty years." ”
The handmaiden was expressionless when she spoke, and her tone was very cold, giving people a very mechanical feeling. She took out an elixir from her robe and threw it at Li Tiancheng.
Li Tiancheng caught it, bent down again and thanked him, his face looked very calm, but his heart was ecstatic, he had already heard of the name of the Chuan Sheng Pill, it was one of the treasures of the entire Tianxuan Sect, and in the entire Tianxuan Sect, there was only one person who could refine the Chuan Sheng Pill, and that was this mysterious godmother, the godmother would distribute the Chuan Sheng Pill to the sect master and several elders in the sect every thirty years, and he was fortunate enough to get a thirty-year Chuan Sheng Pill, which can be said to be a great luck.
It can also be seen that the godmother is very concerned about sending troops to the western Xinjiang to explore the spiritual stone veins in the wilderness, and there is no room for mistakes in this matter.
Marshal Li Gang next to him looked at the Chuansheng Pill in Li Tiancheng's hand, his eyes flickered, and he couldn't help swallowing his saliva, but in front of the maid, he didn't dare to show any envy.
The maid still said in a cold voice: "Godmother asked me to pass on the message to you, there was a mutation in the western frontier of Tianyuan, and the Great Guangming Temple, which had been in charge of the Western Xinjiang for hundreds of years, was destroyed overnight, after the Great Guangming Temple was destroyed, the news will inevitably spread to the Central Plains, and then the factions in the Central Plains will inevitably flock to the western frontier, seize the territory of the Great Light, and seize the spiritual stone veins of the Great Light Temple, but the godmother is not interested in the things left behind by the Great Light Temple. The godmother is interested in only the spiritual stone veins in the western frontier, without the barrier of the Great Bright Temple, this goes to the western frontier, you will have the biggest obstacle, this matter is not easy to delay, after the prince's celebration, you will leave immediately, understand? ”
Li Tiancheng nodded in agreement, and his heart was already turbulent.
Not only him, but the generalissimo Li Gang next to him also completely changed his face in this matter.
In their hearts, the Great Light Temple is the number one sect in the entire Tian Yuan world, the abbot of the Great Light Temple, Sha Tianhe, his strength and cultivation are on par with the main master behind the scenes of the Tianxuan Sect, that is, the godmother, such a powerful Great Light Temple, such a powerful abbot of the Great Light Temple, according to the fact that he was destroyed, how terrible and powerful must be the person who destroyed him?
In this world, there are still many more powerful characters or mysterious sects than Sha Tianhe and that godmother, and this is what makes Li Tiancheng and Li Gang feel shocked and incredible.
However, although shocking and shocking, the grievances and struggles between these upper-level cultivators have nothing to do with them as mortals, what they want to do well is to rely on the big tree of Tianxuanzong to complete their assignments and orders, so that their respective families can survive in peace.
When the maid had finished explaining these words, she disappeared again in an instant, and walked very simply.
Li Tiancheng and Li Gang looked at each other and sighed to each other.
After that, Li Tiancheng and Li Gang walked side by side towards the crowd at the other end of the hall, perhaps there were some subtle open and secret battles between them before, but in the matter of prospecting in Western Xinjiang, they need to cooperate, they need to cooperate with each other, this is also the reason why Li Gang's daughter Ana County Lord suddenly returned to Chang'an at this time, knowing that there is a beautiful soup, as Li Gang, who controls most of the military power, can not miss it, and Emperor Li Tiancheng, although his godmother assigned him alone to complete this matter, but the wilderness of Western Xinjiang is full of dangers, Without the support of Li Gang's army and the main force of the army, this matter was ultimately difficult to do.
At this time, a dull bell rang somewhere in the Imperial City - fifteen minutes of continuous ringing of the bell to inform the people to assemble in the arena.
"Marshal, in the arena in a while, you can pick out some warriors by the way, and go to the Western Frontier, these warriors may be of great use."
Li Gang smiled and said: "Of course, but this matter should be left to His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness the Prince's martial arts are extraordinary, and he will personally go to the arena today, so he can naturally pick out the warriors who are willing to come." ”
The two men walked as they spoke, and soon they reached the entrance of the arena, and when the officials and nobles saw the emperor and marshal coming, they quietly gave way, and then obediently followed behind them.
Outside the arena, rows of luxurious carriages lined up, pennants fluttering in the breeze. The flag bears the emblem of each noble family. The cars led in an orderly manner to the different stands, which, when viewed from above, were staggered and shaped like the backbones of giant creatures.
The competitive struggle belonging to the Zhengtang Empire, the favorite entertainment project of the Zhengtang nobles, is about to start here.
For Emperor Li Tiancheng and Marshal Li Gang, the task of this trip to the West Frontier assigned by the godmother was far more worrying than this lively competitive gladiatorial competition...... (To be continued......)
