Chapter 149: Meeting the Dead in a Foreign Country

"But then again, if you go outside, you must first settle inside. Although the threat of the demon clan cannot be slackened, Cao Cao's evil army of Wei cannot be ignored either. Cao Cao had always been afraid of the realm around him, and he was also eyeing our Jixia Academy. Just now Yang Jian came to me and told him in detail what he thought. He said that the Wei army was not only ambitious, but also colluded with the demons and was embarrassed. If we don't take the lead in eradicating the Wei army, when the demons invade the King Continent, the Wei army will definitely become their powerful internal support, and then stick a deep knife in our back. The old master said.

"What Brother Master said is very true, Cao Cao re-recruited and cultivated an army of 100,000 demons and evils in a short period of time, which shows that his intentions are ill-intentioned, and we must do something. We should unite with the Army of Origin and the State of Qin to make the State of Wei disappear on the Continent of Kings. Master Mozi said.

When other teachers and students heard this, they nodded their heads in approval. Later, the old master sent Sun Bin to Yang Jian's place to express his agreement to ally with him and use troops in Wei.

"After careful consideration by the academy, we have come to a unanimous conclusion and agree to join forces with you to eradicate the evil demons and return the clean world to the King Continent." Sun Bin said.

"Great. In this way, the evil way will one day be wiped out. Yang Jian said overjoyed.

"Regarding the replacement of the officials in charge of various departments in various places, Wechen has been dealing with it, and more than half of it has been completed. However, in view of the current special military and political situation at home and abroad, Wechen will speed up the replacement process. But Your Majesty, how should I, Datang, respond to Jixia Academy's request for alliance? Yi Xing said.

"Let's just say that the thieves in the country have suddenly risen, and there is no time to take care of anything else. If the demons really come to attack the King Continent on a large scale, with their allied forces in front of the first resistance, our casualties will be minimized, aren't they? Ming Shiyin said leisurely.

"Weichen will reply to Jixia Academy according to His Majesty's wishes." Yi Xingdao.

Jixia Academy received Datang's reply and felt extremely shocked and disappointed. "I never expected that the monarch of the Tang Dynasty would be so unreasonable and ignorant of the overall situation. Extremely pedantic, ridiculous and hateful. The old master said angrily.

"The new monarch of the Tang Dynasty, this is to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, so as to reap the benefits of the fisherman." Master Mozi said.

"That's right, this person is insidious and cunning, loves to play tricks, and his own rights are more important than anything else. That's why he didn't want to take risks lightly and fight against demons together. Although the king of the Tang Dynasty is reluctant to form an alliance with us, I know that there is a Tang army that is willing to join hands with us. Master Zhuang Zhou said.

"You mean... The Great Wall Guards? Master Mozi guessed.

"That's right, in the last Origin War, Gao Changgong disobeyed the king's order, and he was not afraid of dereliction of duty to investigate, but he also had to participate in the resistance against the demonic foreign army. It can be seen that the Great Wall Guards are a righteous army. I don't think they will sit idly by in this fight against the demon army. Master Zhuang Zhou said.

"Brother Mengdie, his insights are incisive, and he wakes up the dreamer with one word. Well, then, at the Great Wall, I will personally go and try to draw them into this Allied army. Master Mozi said.

"To increase the likelihood of persuasion, I think you should take someone with you." Master Zhuang Zhou said.

"Brother Mengdie, please advise?" Master Mozi said.

"Di Renjie, he is taking refuge in the south at the moment." Zhuang Zhoudao.

"Di Renjie... Di Renjie was a loyal and good general in the previous dynasty and won the hearts of the people, and if he brought him, he could indeed increase the intensity of persuasion. Master Mozi said.

Hearing this, Lian Po stood up from the crowd.

"Teacher, the disciple is willing to go to the southern country in person and bring Di Renjie here safely." Lian Po respectfully hugged his fists.

Zhong Wuyan crossed her hands in front of her chest and took two slow steps forward.

"Senior brother, it's a long way to go, how can you go alone, I'll go with you." Zhong Wuyan said.

"Very good, you brothers and sisters can take care of each other on the road, so that we can rest assured." Master Mozi said.

"Well, respect the master's orders." Lian Po's voice was as bright as a bell, echoing throughout the hall.

Lian Po and Zhong Wuyan didn't dare to slack off, in order to complete this task as soon as possible. They set off overnight, and traveled to the southern land on the southern border of the Tang Dynasty.

Although the southern country is not very large, it is surrounded by mountains and dangerous peaks, and the road leading to it is rugged and difficult to attack. Crossing several mountains from the southern boundary of the southern country to the south is the endless South China Sea. The climate in the south is warm all year round, the soil is fertile, and the country is rich in various fruits.

Perhaps it is thanks to this unique and favorable environment that there are many long-lived people in the south, and there is a long-lived person in China who is 138 years old and still alive and healthy. Many people who come here ask him for the secret of longevity.

Since the defeat of the army, Di Renjie led the remnants to surrender to the south. The monarch of the southern kingdom treated him as a guest, and feasted with him on three or five days, and asked him for advice on how to govern the country. Di Renjie knew everything and talked endlessly, and he talked happily with the monarch of the southern country, and gradually became good friends.

On this day, Di Renjie and Li Yuanfang were on the noisy streets, appreciating the local customs. Suddenly, a man dressed in white, with a sword hanging from his waist, flashed through the crowd and drowned in the crowd again.

That familiar figure immediately made Li Yuanfang fall into deep thought. "I'm so familiar with that person, who is it... Li Bai, yes, it's Big Brother Li Bai. Li Yuanfang recalled in his mind, and suddenly exclaimed.

Di Renjie didn't understand the reason, and looked at Li Yuanfang who was startled in front of him inexplicably.

"Yuan Fang, what's the matter? So unsettled. Di Renjie said.

"Master Di, the man in white who flashed in front of us just now, he is Li Bai." Li Yuanfang's eyes widened and he said excitedly.

Di Renjie frowned slightly, as if he was caught in a memory, "Li Bai..."

"It's the wandering swordsman in the Western Regions who infiltrated the Daming Palace in Chang'an a few years ago to assassinate the empress and leave poems on the palace gate." Li Yuanfang quickly reminded Di Renjie.

"You see my memory, it's easy to forget things when I'm older. When you mention that, I think of him. But why is he here, is it possible..."Di Renjie didn't dare to continue.

"Hey, Master Di, Brother Li Bai is not that kind of person, I think he came to the southern country and has his own things to do, and it has absolutely nothing to do with us. If you don't believe me, I'll ask now. Li Yuanfang pursed her lips and defended Li Bai.

Before Di Renjie could agree, Li Yuanfang had already jumped on the backbone of the house on the side, jumping forward and running quickly. After a snap of his fingers, he finally saw the familiar figure again. With a 720-degree somersault, Li Yuanfang stood firmly in front of Li Bai.

Li Bai looked at it fixedly, and couldn't believe his eyes.

"Isn't this my little brother Yuanfang, why are you here?" Li Bai was pleasantly surprised.

As Li Bai spoke, he stretched out his right hand and stroked Li Yuanfang's head.

"Hahaha, Brother Li Bai is really you, I'm still worried that I recognized the wrong person, I was wandering here with Master Di, and I happened to meet you in a flash. So I came up to make sure, no, and sure enough, I found out that it was you. By the way, Brother Li Bai, why did you come to the south too? Is there anything important to do? Li Yuanfang said.

"Well, it's hard to put into words. A few days ago, I met a lonely and helpless old woman in the Western Regions. Although she is blind, she stands in front of the village entrance every day, hoping for her granddaughter to come home. Later, I inquired and learned that the old woman could not pay the rent, so her granddaughter was sold to the south by a bully rich man. I just arrived here today, and I happened to run into you. Li Bai said.

"So that's the case, I know that Brother Li Bai has always been old-fashioned. Master Fang Cai Di also..."Li Yuanfang stretched out his hand to cover his mouth, and the words stopped abruptly.

"Is your Master Di suspicious that I'm stalking him... Hahaha... He's not a family, why am I following him?! Li Bai joked.

Li Yuanfang grinned, scratched the back of his head with his right hand, and smiled stupidly.

"By the way, little brother Yuan Fang, you and your Master Di are not in Chang'an to concentrate on investigating the case, what are you doing in this southern country thousands of miles away?" Li Bai asked.

When Li Yuanfang heard this, he silently lowered his head, his eyes were swaying, and he seemed to be full of tears.

Li Bai was inexplicable when he saw this scene. "In the past, the innocent little detective, why is it like a little girl today, sprinkling pear blossom rain? Tell you Brother Li Bai about it, is it who bullied you? Well? Li Bai shook Li Yuanfang's shoulders with both hands, and his tone was playful but full of care.

"Master Di and I led the Yulin Army to clear the monarch's side and return the pure land to the imperial court, but when the national teacher was defeated, relying on the protection of the demon clan, he beat us to the ground. Master Di and I had no choice but to lead the remnants and flee here. Li Yuanfang said slowly.

"Hey, I didn't expect so many things to happen in Chang'an recently. In any case, I believe that one day, you and your Master Di will be able to return to Datang and Chang'an in a bright and bright manner. Li Bai said firmly.

When Li Yuanfang heard this, he also nodded firmly.
