Su Qian tapped the folding fan in his hand on the palm of his other hand and said, "If I remember correctly, how many years have passed since the last battle, why is it starting here again." ”

The battle was an agreement set by both sides of the demon clan after the world was peaceful thousands of years ago, in order not to let the monks of the world slack off themselves. As the name suggests, it is a competition of strength between the two sides, a friendly match.

The battle will be opened once every hundred years, and in Su Qian's memory, it seems that only fifty years have passed since the last battle, and it is not half of the time, and it is actually going to be opened in advance.

After pondering for a moment, Su Qian suddenly realized, slapped the folding fan heavily in his palm, and said, "Your Majesty, could it be that this time the battle was started in advance to weaken the harm brought by the demon clan of this calamity?"

Li Sheng nodded, and said with his chin bowed: "Otherwise, you think I don't want to write to the Temple of Literature over and over again, but thank you to Xianjun, this time the Temple of Literature promised to start a battle this year, I'm afraid he has blown a lot of wind in his ears." ”

The Confucian Temple's move played a very important role in the robbery of the eldest sister in the first year of the Tang Dynasty, the catastrophe in the first year was in accordance with the will of heaven, and it was necessary to respond, and the defender of the catastrophe was the Tang Dynasty, and the attacker was actually the Nanzhou Demon Clan.

I don't know who can win on both sides, and before a thousand years, there was no shortage of dynasties in Jiuzhou that did not have a unified dynasty, and there were also strong dynasties that lasted for thousands of years, but in the end they all fell under the catastrophe of the first year in the long river of history.

The demon race is at a disadvantage to the human race, they have scarce resources, the location is remote, and the geographical environment is not as strong as the aura of the land where the human race lives in Jiuzhou.

Therefore, in order to make up for these, the Heavenly Dao will have a thousand-year calamity, and at that time the luck of the human dynasty will be greatly weakened, and the demon clan can take advantage of this to enter, if it wins, it can plunder the great cultivation resources, if it loses, when the time of the tribulation passes, the luck of the human dynasty will rise, and then it will be the moment of the human race's counterattack.

The demon clan is not afraid of this, and the first year of the Jiuzhou Dynasty was a catastrophe thousands of years ago, and their demon clan has never lost.

The plundered resources are really lovely, if it weren't for the great war a thousand years ago that consumed a lot of resources, the strength of the demon clan should not be underestimated.

They have an innate physical advantage over the Terrans.

Here Su Qian doesn't have much opinion of Zhang Xianjun, when he was on the Great Wall, because of the disparity in status between the two sides, it was only because Li Sheng, who he followed, played well with those two, that he could know the two of them a little, and he could also say a few words.

At that time, Zhang Xianjun was a person of few words, and the two of them couldn't say a few words in the Great Wall, but after leaving the Great Wall and returning to Jiuzhou, several people parted ways, and the heavy events that happened after that are vividly remembered.

Li Sheng ascended the throne, Pang Beidou returned to the mountain because of the Great Wall incident, Zhang Xianjun mysteriously left the Bulao Mountain and went to the Confucian world, and then beheaded three corpses for a hundred years to become holy.

The disparity in status was opened up again, and after the Great Wall, Su Qian and Zhang Xianjun had no contact.

It's just that not long ago, I saw that guy came to Chang'an, and he also saw His Majesty, and there was a sage who separated a space, and I couldn't see what they were talking about.

Li Sheng stood up, put his hands behind his back, raised his eyes into the distance, and said, "There is not much time left, we have to hurry." ”

The space was silent, save for the chirping of birds in the air.

Su Qian seemed to think of something, and said, "Your Majesty, I was also preparing to come to you before you summoned me, and I have good news to tell you." ”

Li Sheng said: "Oh, what good news, let's say, in this situation, it's not bad to hear good news." ”

Su Qian said: "The following spies operating in Jiuzhou came to report that someone had found Mr. Big's traces in Dazhou, not far from the Great Wall, and according to the spies, he seemed to be exposing his whereabouts very regularly and deliberately letting people find out. ”

Su Qian continued: "According to the minister's opinion, Mr. Da probably knew that this time I was in a thousand-year calamity, and traveled to the Great Wall in advance to share His Majesty's worries before the battle. ”

Pang Beidou sent Dao Yuan to the vicinity of Zangfeng Mountain in Qingzhou, and left there to travel towards the Great Wall.

Along the way, sometimes resisting the wind and sometimes walking, interspersed with troubles in the world, leaving some traces from time to time for people to find.

The method of doing this is very simple, he wants to lure out more demon secret agents hidden in Jiuzhou, these people are a big trouble in the world, and he can kill as many as he can.

Li Sheng stared at Su Qian with a flat gaze and said, "This is the good news you said?"

Su Qian said: "Then Your Majesty doesn't think this is good news. ”

Li Sheng held his forehead with his palm and said, "The second seat reserved by the Four Extremes Heavenly Array went to the Great Wall like this, how about you let me suffer in the first year?"

Ahem

Su Qian shook the folding fan, coughed a few times, and said, "Mr. Big's visit is also pros and cons for Your Majesty, Your Majesty might as well take a look at it." ”

Without waiting for Li Sheng to speak, Su Qian continued: "Looking at Your Majesty's idea of booking Mr. Big, there must be people in mind for the remaining two positions. ”

Su Qian is a very meticulous and intelligent person.

Li Sheng sneered and said, "It's not that there is no candidate, what do you think of the dwarf under the border of Qingzhou? ”

Su Qian closed the folding fan, gently pressed the head of the fan against his chin, and said, "Your Majesty is talking about the forbidden old man who guards the eye of the north wind?"

"Exactly. Li Sheng said with a smile.

Su Qian said slowly: "Your Majesty is almost sure to persuade him to help us, back then he blatantly did not give His Majesty face, His Majesty was not annoyed with him, what is it now." ”

Li Sheng said: "Do you remember the time when I wanted to trouble him and was stopped by Zhang Sheng. ”

Su Qian nodded.

"At that time, I was still thinking of going to help Your Majesty, but when I saw Zhang Sheng stopping Your Majesty halfway, the minister did not step forward. ”

Li Sheng said with a smile: "That is, what Zhang Sheng said to me at that time gave me the confidence to let him help." ”

Li Sheng saw that Su Qian wanted to continue asking, but he didn't want to continue, turned his head, raised his eyes and looked into the distance, stunned.

Su Qian understood the meaning of the person in front of him, and said, "Your Majesty can know it in your heart." ”

Both of them were standing on the top floor, looking into the distance, which was the direction of the Great Wall.

Li Sheng said coldly: "Tongzi, you said that if we don't have our current identity, what would happen if we stayed on the Great Wall all the time. ”

Su Qian said at the right time: "Then we may not be alive now." ”

Li Sheng smiled slightly and did not speak.

Su Qian's words are not rough, it is true, people in the world are not like this, if he does not have such an identity and background, he is afraid that he will die outside the Great Wall at that time.

Li Sheng recalled the past of the Great Wall and asked aloud: "Tongzi, do you remember who took this nickname from you?" ”

The scholar of the folding fan, who was called the tongs, smiled implicitly, "Back to Your Majesty, it's Mr. Big." ”

Li Sheng smiled: "Then why do you think he gave you this nickname." ”

Su Qian replied: "Because he always said that the minister only admits death, is not flexible, and if he grasps a problem or clue, he will bite to death like an iron tong, and it just so happens that the nickname is very similar to the homonym of the last word of the minister's name, so it is called this." ”

Li Sheng said: "Then do you like Beidou to give you a nickname." ”

Su Qian replied: "I didn't like it very much at first, but after a long time of contact, that's it, thousands of years have passed, and now if the two of them can call me again, I will be a little flattered." ”

Su Qian unconsciously recalled the Great Wall thousands of years ago, but some people unconsciously raised the corners of his mouth, and he was in a good mood.

Li Sheng nodded thoughtfully.

"Pliers, I've got you covered. ”

Su Qian bent down and arched his hand, and said, "Your Majesty commanded, and the ministers should not hesitate to go to the soup and fight the fire." ”

Li Sheng waved his hand and said, "It's not that serious, it's very simple, how about taking a trip to the Martial Temple for me." ”

Su Qian raised his head and said in astonishment: "Wumiao, Your Majesty wants to ask for help from Wumiao?"

"Although Wumiao is jealous and hateful, although they want to make a move like the Temple of Literature, they will not do anything if they are in the way of heaven. ”

Li Sheng said: "If you can think of it, I can naturally think of it, and if you go to the Wumiao, you should say hello and bring a message to Tang Liu for me." ”

Su Qian said, "Your Majesty, please speak." ”

Li Sheng said: "Tell Tang Liu that if his love for my sister has not changed now, then let him get up to Chang'an to see me today, and I will wait for him in the Central Purple Qi Palace." ”

When Su Qian heard this, he remembered a wonderful incident many years ago, and said: "Your Majesty, don't you look down on Tang Liu's appearance the most, what's wrong now, could it be that Princess Taiping proposed to marry?"

Li Sheng pretended to be angry and said, "If you want to go, you can go, what so much nonsense." ”

Su Qian shook his head and smiled bitterly, replied and obeyed, then turned his head and shook the folding fan and stepped on the bluestone tiles on the roof of the city wall to resist the wind, turning into a galaxy streamer and disappearing into the sky.

After Su Qian left, only Emperor Li Sheng stood there on the city wall, turned his head and whispered a few words to a certain place in the palace, and turned around to call Shang Jiuxi, the chief administrator of the inner hall who was guarding outside the courtyard,

"Jiuxi. ”

Shang Jiuxi, the head of the eunuchs, let out a unique shrill voice, "The old slave is here, what instructions does Your Majesty have?" ”

Li Sheng turned around and stepped out, disappeared from the city wall, came to the imperial garden, and said, "I haven't been to see Princess Taiping for a long time. ”

Shang Jiuxi held the white hair whisk in his hand and replied, "Back to Your Majesty, it's been a few days." ”

Li Sheng pondered for a long time, walked towards the outside of the garden, and said as he walked, "Drive the Changping Palace." ”

Shang Jiuxi responded and stepped to follow.

——————

At this time, at the foot of the Qingzhou Tibetan Peak Mountain, Dao Yuan stood there, the white fox was lying on his shoulder, Pang Beidou sent him here, and disappeared after a few words of advice to him.

Dogen walked to the bottom of the gate of Zangfeng Mountain, and was unsurprisingly stopped by a little elf.

The little goblin said, "Little Taoist, where are you coming from, and where are you going?" ”

Dogen remembered Pang Beidou's instructions before leaving, and did not reply to the words of the little elf, took a step back, clasped his fists with both hands, lifted a breath of true qi, and said in a loud voice,

"The new mountain lord of Sanqing Mountain, Dao Yuan, came to worship the mountain. ”
