In the dense forest at the foot of Cloak Mountain.

The horses chirped, bowed their heads and ate the forage, snorting from time to time.

Xu Xiao pressed the knife and stood under a tree.

Behind him, the ninety veterans of the Cloud Piercing Army were all carrying quivers and wearing longbows, pressing knives in one hand, and all the spears, spears and halberds were inserted into the ground, and no one made a sound, quietly waiting for movement.

There were still ten people, lurking on the periphery in groups of two.

Beware of the spy eyeliner of the Ant Elephant Gate.

Looking at the cloak mountain and the huge cloud mountain range that were suddenly cleared by the clouds and mist, listening to the thunder above the sky dome, and the faint sound of the avenue, Xu Xiao felt a lot.

It is said that the world will be chaotic and evil.

Is Da Liang in chaos this day?

Also messy.

However, everything is under Lin'an's control, and the next thing is that the autumn wind sweeps away the leaves and stabilizes the four seas.

There are still countless demons.

As a person in the army, Xu Xiao sometimes has a lot of powerlessness, and I don't know if in the end, there can really be that kind of demon - a person who breaks through ten thousand armors with one sword.

This kind of person will be bound by human morality and the laws of his family and country?

If that day comes, what is the meaning of the existence of the army?

The world will eventually be transformed.

I'm afraid that this is the real intention of the empress to set the rules, so as not to let this world go to the unknown world.

Xu Xiao sighed.

In the final analysis, the water of the rivers and lakes is still deep.

So he grabbed the saber at his waist tightly.

This time I stepped on the rivers and lakes, I, Xu Xiao, must drain the water of the rivers and lakes and break the backbone of the rivers and lakes, even if I bear the infamy of eternity and be coveted by the people of the rivers and lakes day and night.

It is not for the benefit of one person.

Just to keep the world belongs to the army, belongs to the excitement and blood of the battlefield.

It is also for the sake of the rights of the weakened world.

There should be a rule in the world.

Xu Xiao thought of this, with a resolute face, no matter whether Li Ruyu did it or not, he would do his best to level the rivers and lakes, and never let the rivers and lakes appear with a sword to break through the demons.

Just thinking about it, it seems that the most likely person is Li Ruyu.

Xu Xiao is so worried......

Li Ruyu, Wang Zhushu and the young man walked unhindered all the way.

The people of the Ant Elephant Gate seemed to have evaporated from the world, no one appeared to stop them, and no one appeared to welcome the guests, allowing the three of them to climb all the way to the top of Cloak Mountain, as if entering a no-man's land.

Li Ruyu and Wang Zhushu exchanged a few words.

They all think this is good news.

Obviously, in the Ant Elephant Gate, someone wants to talk to himself and others, this person is very likely to be the person who greeted the guests with a sword on the top of the mountain, looking at the level of his sword, there is a high probability that he is the first person in Dali Kendo.

Wang Ye Duan Daoxing.

Passing through the deep forest, I finally saw someone.

Before the big tree towered to the sky, there was a gentle place, more than ten wooden corridor houses were built, and a lot of clothes were dried around.

Everyone was armed with swords and swords, and looked at the three of them with fierce eyes.

This should be some of the people of the Ant Elephant Gate.

Li Ruyu and the three of them were not afraid, and after looking at them generously, they had a slight bottom in their hearts, among these more than ten people, there was probably only one master, and it was probably from the realm of emptiness.

Most of the rest of the people turned into rainbow realms.

Keep going.

and the corridor house that was generally set up before, there were also more than ten people.

There is also a master in charge.

However, judging by its momentum, it should not be lower than the realm of Fuyao.

It's a little shocking, the Ant Elephant Gate is entrenched in Yunwu Mountain, I'm afraid that there are more than these two such corridors, there must be more than a dozen, which means that the Ant Elephant Gate has at least a few masters of the Fuyao realm.

This strength should not be underestimated.

It is no wonder that hundreds of people from the state soldiers of Juzhou and the Fusi of the north and south towns will still return with a feather.

Approaching the top of the mountain.

Li Ruyu stopped a step and looked back at the huge cloud and mist mountains, but saw that the mountains were undulating and lush, and there were clouds and mist rising everywhere, and the beautiful scenery was like a fairyland.

This is the mountains and rivers of Daliang.

Now it is in the hands of Dali people, how ridiculous.

The key is that Guangxi is mountainous, there is no absolute army, and it is really wishful thinking to try to exterminate these people, that is, in the early years, before Daliang created the prosperous era of Zhongxing, the aborigines on this side of Guangnan West Road often rebelled.

It was very difficult for the imperial court to solve it completely.

In the end, there was a virtuous minister who came up with the strategy of "dividing the land and returning to the stream", which was adopted by Renzong, and then it took more than ten years to solve the problem from the source.

The tranquility of Guangnan West Road will allow more financial resources and manpower to be invested in the governance of Zhongxing.

Wang Zhushu said softly behind Li Ruyu: "Just because this continuous mountain is as strong as Dayan Taizu, it can't really be included in the territory, and it is a great achievement to make it a vassal country." ”

Li Ruyu just sighed.

Wang Zhushu smiled and said: "Actually, it's not a bad thing, the territory is too big, then the court's control of the frontier will degenerate sooner or later, if the king is not effective, or if the years are unfavorable to natural disasters, then compared to rebellion, it will be a disaster." On the contrary, the situation in the world is the best at this time, if Dali is reduced to a vassal country, no matter how turbulent its political situation is, it will not affect Da Liang, even if the North Barbarians lose the next North and South War, the vast land of the grassland will not be completely and completely controlled by Da Liang, and will eventually become a vassal country. ”

Li Ruyu nodded, "That's enough, if Beiban becomes a vassal state of Da Liang, then Da Liang will no longer worry about Ma Yuan." ”

Wang Zhushu shook his head, "I'm afraid it may not be." ”

The Northern Barbarians are brave and good at fighting, and their personalities are not inferior, it is difficult to really let them return to their hearts, even if they become a subject of Daliang for a while, they are afraid that time will pass, and they will still be reversed after all.

The world of Beiban and Daliang is destined to never stop fighting.

Li Ruyu smiled bitterly, so this world needs a peerless king, a king who surpasses the Great Yan Taizu, who can truly unify this piece of the world, and then invade the culture and completely assimilate the Northern Barbarians and Dali.

In this way, we can build an unprecedented prosperous era of Datong.

Finally to the top of the mountain.

In front of the door on the top of the mountain, there is a handsome son, holding a folding fan to drive away the heat, seeing the three people, saluting with the etiquette of Dali, and saying: "The distinguished guests are coming, the Peng is shining, Dali is white and sorrowful, and I have seen all the officials." ”

Li Ruyu was in front and was about to return the gift.

But seeing Wang Zhushu take a step forward, his face was full of anger, "Your Excellency's words are fallacious. ”

The handsome boy Bai Choufei looked abusive, "What's wrong?" ”

Wang Zhushu was indignant, and said loudly: "This Yunwu Mountain is my Daliang territory, you are just a thief who steals Liang, what face dare to call yourself Peng, you are deceiving me Daliang and no one cares!" ”

Li Ruyu was suddenly surprised, and immediately secretly admired.

I didn't even think of that.

Readers, sure enough, have their own unique and keen sense of smell, Wang Zhushu came out, immediately stood on the truth, and the next talk, the three of them will have a higher starting point of the truth.

Although there is often no reason between countries, there is no morality, only interests.

But on the surface, it has to be reasonable and moral, isn't it?

It is because many times, after the people of Daliang heard that the imperial court occasionally sent officials to Beiban and Dali, bringing a large number of brocades and porcelain, they resented the imperial court.

Isn't it good to have these things for me and other people?

However, what the people couldn't see was what these brocades and porcelain brought to Da Liang, especially the envoy to the Western Regions - there was no country in the Western Regions, but there were tribes on the edge of the desert.

Which time did it not exchange brocade and porcelain for a large number of rare resources and technologies, such as the improvement of the sword forging technique, it came from a certain tribe in the Western Regions, so Da Liang has gradually kept up with the sharpness of the Northern Barbarians over the years.

But at this moment, Bai Choufei obviously didn't think so.

said with a smile: "The things of the world, the virtuous live in it, even if this is a big cool, since I live here, then I am the master, and I naturally deserve the word Pengyu." ”

Wang Zhushu laughed, "Ear stealing! ”

Bai Chou Feiyun smiled lightly, his qi cultivation skills were excellent, but he bent over slightly and made way to make way: "I know what the officials mean by coming, the prince is waiting for you." ”

Rajah?!

Li Ruyu and Wang Zhushu glanced at each other.

Duan Daoxing is really in Cloud Mountain!

On the top of the mountain, there is a blue and white Confucian shirt cuff embroidered with camellia scholars standing with a sword, with his hands behind him, his back to everyone facing the vast mountains and seas with a sea of clouds, and a sword intent is clear.

Li Ruyu led Wang Zhushu and the delicate young man to salute at the same time, "Da Liang Li Ruyu, I have seen Duan Daoxing Duan Wangye." ”

The saber man did not turn around and saluted, and said softly: "You see, these mountains and rivers are so splendid, vast and thousands of miles, how spectacular, how many people's dreams are carried, and how many years of joys and sorrows have been recorded. ”

Li Ruyu raised his head slightly and glanced at Wang Zhushu, and they both saw a trace of pain in the other party's eyes.

Such a Duan prince...... It's not good to fool.

If you can see the size of the world, your mind will be wide, and your vision will be wide.

Correspondingly, there should be ambition!

Li Ruyu chuckled, "No matter how splendid this mountain and river is, it is cool after all, and there are many joys and sorrows on this land, but in the end it is also a prosperous world in the world." ”

Duan Daoxing sneered and sighed: "However, I Dali, although I live in the south of Caiyun, known as the paradise on earth, the scenery of Cangshan and Erhai Lake, unparalleled in the world, but who knows, in the south of Caiyun, there are more poisonous fog miasma, and there are more snakes and scorpions poison rampant. ”

Li Ruyu waved his hand, signaled Wang Zhushu, who wanted to speak, to silence him, and said with a smile: "Dare to ask Duan Wangye, do you know how the world was before Da Chu?" ”

Duan Daoxing was silent for a while: "Wild. ”

Li Ruyu bowed his head, "That's true, even if the Great Chu Dynasty unified the world, even in the most glorious period of the Great Yan Dynasty, it seems to be a glorious and prosperous era, but there are still people in the world who don't have enough food and clothing, so why doesn't a certain king of Great Chu eat minced meat, why is it that after the Great Liang Dynasty now, all the people in the world have food and clothing?" ”

Duan Daoxing still didn't look back: "Why? ”

"Jun Er!"

Li Ruyu continued categorically: "There are tens of millions of people in the world, and the years are increasing, but the vastness of the world remains unchanged, and millions of people need to support the court and the heroes, and when the grain and grass are finally exhausted, what is the explanation?" ”

"Only when the people's hearts are stable, work together, the court is the head, the dream is the horse, the sweat is gold, and the blood and tears are fat, so that the grain will be abundant and the livestock will multiply."

"This is what the people want, and it is not feasible for the people, and it needs the order of the king, the government of the court, the policy of the ministers, the trip of the state officials, and the power of the people. The unity of all causes can overcome the cold of the sky and the evil of the earth, and the lack of water and the barrenness of the earth! ”

"It's a prosperous age!"

"It will be able to maintain peace and stability for a long time."

Duan Daoxing turned around abruptly and stared at Li Ruyu, his eyes shining with essence, "What a reason for the prosperity of the world!" ”

Li Ruyu smiled, "In the next family." ”

After thinking about it, he added, "The prosperous era has never been fought by war. ”

How do you know that this sentence made Duan Daoxing raise his eyebrows, "If I am not mistaken, Your Majesty the Empress of your country, in order to continue the prosperous era and for the sake of a more stable future of Daliang, has led the rebellion in Shuzhong and Kaifeng in the past few years, isn't it contradictory to this adult's words?" ”

Li Ruyu's heart jumped.

Hit yourself in the foot.

But there was no conclusion, "As the prince said, the empress led these two wars, after all, in order to continue the prosperity, on top of the current prosperity, and the last floor, to create an unprecedented Datong prosperity in ancient times, which has long surpassed the level of your country's Dali fighting for warmth." ”

Duan Daoxing sighed, "Reasonable." ”

Only then did he give his hand," Dali Duan Daoxing. ”

Li Ruyu, Wang Zhushu, and the delicate young man had no choice but to salute again.

Duan Daoxing put down his hand, pressed the hilt of the long sword at his waist, and stared at Li Ruyu, "I've heard of you, from Lin'an Xizhao Mountain with a sword style like an immortal to kill Zhao Li, to Kaifeng to fight Yue Dan, and later there was a top of Lanshan Mountain like a fairy, in front of the sage temple to cut half a Buddha and half a demon, a sword from Luofeng Mountain thousands of miles to the East China Sea, a few days ago it was in Shuzhong Jinguancheng to borrow the sage spring breeze to go to the blue sky, and slash the sword into the holy Tsing Yi Tang poem. ”

"The hero is a young man."

Li Ruyu smiled, a little embarrassed to be praised like this.

The long sword on Duan Daoxing's waist trembled, the sword groaned, and a sword intent soared into the sky, "It's also fate, Duan Mou has been obsessed with swords all his life, and even surpassed the royal power, and he was quite excited to see a sword Dao Tianjiao like you." ”

Li Ruyu's face was bitter, "Why don't you talk about business first, and treat things properly, you should have the edge of the sword." ”

After talking, we can have a friendly exchange.

If you can't talk about it, then it's really only a fight.

Duan Daoxing sighed, and suddenly asked, "I said that I am Dali Duan Daoxing, and you believe it?" ”

Wang Zhushu was shocked when he heard this.

yes, what if it's a fake.

Li Ruyu smiled, "I said that I am Da Liang Li Ruyu, and the prince believes it?" ”

If the Daliang spy information is correct, Dali Duan Daoxing is really the first person in Dali Kendo, then the person in front of him who reads the sword is definitely Duan Daoxing - Kendo Vientiane Realm, Dali is not much.

Duan Daoxing laughed, and suddenly felt that he liked the young man in front of him, and raised his eyebrows, "If my Nine Princes Sister is here, I guess I like a smart young man like you very much." ”

Li Ruyu's heart jumped again, this Nima didn't want to ......

Marriage?!

Immediately woke up suddenly, if Duan Daoxing had the heart to fight for the royal power of Dali, there was really such a possibility-after all, with his strength in Dali, it would be impossible to fight with Duan Dao without the support of Da Liang.

Duan Daoxing glanced at Li Ruyu meaningfully, his gaze crossed the three of them, fell in the direction of the south of Caiyun, pondered for a long time, and came out of his mouth: "Dali Xiongshi has 100,000 masters, you can go out of Guanshan to look at the star plain, the blue blood is scattered in the sky, and a few people have returned to fight in ancient times." ”

A long sigh.

Duan Daoxing looked at the three of them, "Which of you can call the shots for the empress." ”

Li Ruyu and Wang Zhushu pointed at each other almost at the same time.

"Him!"
