Chapter 411: Unscrupulous means, unscrupulous generations
At this moment, the world in the senses of the ghost Xiao has undergone great changes.
The distance, which was previously imperceptible, is now clear as if it were right in front of you.
The sun, the breeze, the ants in the corner of the courtyard outside, the birds singing in the trees a mile away, and even the breathing and heartbeat of the Golden Guard.
Everything is under control.
I can do anything!
I am a god!
The ghost that was suspended in mid-air suddenly had such an arrogant thought.
Enveloped by the power emanating from him, everyone in the entire hall was incapacitated.
Compared with the surprised expressions of Wang Meng and the others, the faces of the five golden armor guards all showed despair.
At this time, the ghost was like a dark king high above, looking down on the five small enemies with contemptuous and sympathetic eyes.
"In the next life, remember more, as an ant, don't provoke the dragon at will!"
He sneered, and with a flick of his right index finger, he shot out several black spiritual flames, which landed on Jin Jiawei's body with unmistakable accuracy.
With a wail, the five Tianlun masters who had overwhelmed Wang Meng and the others a moment ago instantly turned into ashes, leaving only dry bones.
"Brother Ghost Ray, you, you ......" Sima Rou looked at the Ghost Ray suspended in mid-air, both surprised and happy in her heart, she wanted to say something, but she didn't know how to speak for a while.
"Promoted?" Wang Meng was the first to speak.
"Not bad. The ghost's expression was still unruly, but there was a rare lack of murderous aura in his eyes.
"Okay, that's good!" Wang Meng's pale face showed a relieved expression, and then his body shook, no longer able to support it, and fell to the ground with a "plop".
"General Wang, General Wang!"
Sima Rou's anxious voice came from his ears.
Miss's voice is so good, like a fairy music!
Thinking like this, Wang Meng slowly closed his eyes and fell into a coma.
The Qingyun Mountain Range is a beautiful place where Zhong Lingyuxiu is beautiful, and the four main peaks of Qingyun, Qingsong, Qingfeng and Qingcheng are all entrenched in the power of cultivators.
Among them, only the "Qingyun Village" located on Qingyun Mountain is a thief force composed of outlaws.
Since the first battle of Leiyin Valley, up to the owner of the village Guan Tongtian, down to the village of all the young and strong people died at the hands of Zhong Wen and others, now on Qingyun Mountain, only some women and children are left, life can be described as very difficult.
In order to expand the production capacity of the elixir of the "Qingfeng Pavilion", Qiao Erniang once bought a large piece of spiritual land under Qingyun Mountain, and also hired women in the village to help with farming, which can be regarded as providing some living security for these orphans and widows, but it still can't change the poor status quo in the village.
However, one day, a big man suddenly came to the village.
A handsome man with a beautiful white dress.
Even the old and young women and children in the village who have never seen the world can easily distinguish the unconcealed aristocratic temperament of the man in white.
The nobility of some people has penetrated into their bones, and even if they want to hide, they will reveal a hint between their gestures.
The women on the mountain had never seen such a handsome man, and there were not a few men left in the village, so they couldn't help but feel like a spring in their hearts, and they couldn't wait to rush forward directly to show off their coquettishness, in order to win the attention of the noble son.
However, the women's thoughts were difficult to realize after all, because the man in white was followed by many guards, all of them burly, holding murderous soldiers, and his face was full of vigilance, as if to warn the women that if they dared to take a step closer, they would have her blood splashed on the spot.
And the red-clothed royal sister who followed closely beside the white-clothed boy made the women on the mountain ashamed of themselves, and they couldn't compare at all.
Compared with the beauty of the red-clothed royal sister, Sun Yu'e, the most beautiful woman in the village, was simply ugly.
Even if he couldn't rely on the "temptation" of the boy in white to fly up the branches and become a phoenix, the presence of nobles still brought a lot of benefits to the cottage.
Perhaps because he felt guilty about "occupying" Qingyun Mountain, the nobleman was very generous and gave a spirit crystal to every household in the entire village as compensation.
The official value of a spirit crystal is equivalent to one hundred silver dollars, but when it is actually circulated, it has no price, and in a poor and remote place like Qingyun Mountain, it can already be regarded as a huge amount of money.
That night, every household ate meat for the first time in a long time, and for a time the whole cottage was immersed in a joyful and festive atmosphere, which was even more lively than the New Year.
After that, the boy in white and his entourage chose a place on Qingyun Mountain to build another courtyard, and lived in peace of mind, and never wanted to leave.
The women had no pressure in life, and the gossip began to burn, speculating about what this white-clothed man was, and the poor people in the cottage had limited vision, guessing that it was nothing more than the son of a wealthy man in the city, or the descendant of a certain Nanjiang Provincial official.
It wasn't until one day that the word "prince" accidentally popped out of the mouth of one of the entourages of the man in white, and the women knew that they still looked down on the nobles after all.
Realizing the huge difference in identity, the young women, including the "Zhaihua" Sun Yu'e, finally completely extinguished the idea of hooking up, so that the two sides were at peace and got along quite harmoniously.
Every morning, when the sky is slightly bright, the boy in white will come to the cliff at the top of the mountain and sit cross-legged, staring quietly into the distance, not knowing what he is thinking.
And in the evening, he will come to the top of the mountain again and dance with his sword, his posture is vigorous and fluttering.
At this time, the women in the village will find various reasons to gather in the woods near the top of the mountain, and admire the handsome appearance and chic figure of the man in white as if they were fascinated, and their eyes flashed with caution, like, and they were reluctant to leave for a long time.
Even if you can't have anything to do with him, just looking at the handsome guy and pleasing to the eye, that's great.
The women thought so and developed a new hobby.
Day after day, time passed slowly in the ordinary, until one day, a group of officials suddenly appeared on the mountain, and the people in the village finally knew the true identity of the man in white.
The third son of Emperor Daqian.
A peerless genius ranked first in the list of heroes and heroes.
Prince Wu, Li Qing!
Rao is in a remote place like the Qingyun Mountains, a legendary figure like Li Qing is still a household name, and everyone knows it.
Although people may not be able to figure out who the second, third, and fourth places are on the list.
When the official mission went up the mountain, the women who were hiding in the grove witnessed the whole process of Prince Wu's contact with the visitor.
In short, it was the officials who respectfully asked Prince Wu to return to the imperial capital, but Li Qing politely refused.
failed to get the answer he wanted, and the officials did not force it, but left Qingyun Mountain with a respectful attitude.
Li Qing, the prince of Wu, continued to live a regular and plain life in the mountains, as before.
A few days later, another wave of officials ushered in on the mountain, and the officials led by him still respectfully expressed their willingness to welcome him back to the imperial capital, and Li Qing did not change his original intention, and rejected the request of the visitor in the same tone.
This cycle has been repeated several times, and every time the official level who goes up the mountain seems to be improved.
Just when the women thought that such a useless game would last forever, the situation suddenly changed.
The fifth time he went up the mountain to invite people turned out to be the new governor of southern Xinjiang of the Daqian Empire, Xia Nanfeng.
According to imperial customs, if you want to serve as the governor of a province, you must have a Lingzun-level cultivator, be loyal to the Li royal family, and cannot serve as the head of the cultivation sect.
In the world, Lingzun bigwigs are rare, and most of them are in high positions in the cultivation sect, which makes the candidates for the governor very scarce, after the battle of the imperial capital, the vacant positions of the governor of China and Zhejiang and the governor of southern Xinjiang once gave Li Jiuye a big headache.
At this time, Xia Nanfeng, the cultivation genius of the Xia family of the Yunjin noble, broke through to the realm of Lingzun at the age of one hundred and twenty years old, and solved Li Jiuye's urgent need, so the emperor sent the letter of appointment of the governor of southern Xinjiang to the Xia family with a stroke of his pen, designating him as the successor of the traitor Sima Xun.
The appearance of a governor in the family, even for the wealthy Xia family, is a great joy, Xia Nanfeng naturally will not refuse, after receiving the letter of appointment, he quickly packed up and rushed to the governor's palace of Nanjiang Province to take office.
thought that he would be promoted to a member of the party and be able to make a career, but unexpectedly, only a few days after he took office, a holy decree that followed made him feel sad.
Just because the emperor personally issued an order to bring Li Qing, the prince of Wu who was in hiding, back to the imperial capital, the words "unscrupulous means, at any cost" on the holy decree were very eye-catching in the eyes of Xia Nanfeng, who was quite keenly politically intuitive.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the position of the eldest prince Li Yan's East Palace is definitely not guaranteed, and Li Jiuye has not yet issued a will to abolish the crown prince, just to wait for the most beloved third prince Li Qing to return to the imperial capital.
However, Prince Wu didn't know what to think about, so he sent someone to invite him three or four times, but he refused to eat it and refused to go down the mountain.
Seeing that the deadline given by the emperor was about to pass, Xia Nanfeng, the new governor, finally couldn't hold it back, and planned to go out in person and send Prince Wu back to the imperial capital "by any means" in order to give an account to the emperor.
"Wechen has seen the prince. ”
In the face of a radiant imperial genius like Li Qing, Xia Nanfeng did not dare to put on the posture of a spiritual venerable at all, and his attitude was so respectful that he did not look like the governor of a province at all.
"Governor Xia. Li Qing had a gentle smile on his face.
"Now that the turmoil in the imperial capital has been quelled, the traitor Shu Shu and his accomplices have also been sent to prison. Xia Nanfeng said word by word, "In accordance with His Majesty's will, Weichen has come to invite the prince to return to the imperial capital. ”
"I also asked Governor Xia to return to his father, and said that this king is in this land of beautiful mountains and rivers, watching the sunrise and sunset every day, and all things growing, and he has a lot of feelings in his heart, and he wants to retreat here to comprehend the cultivation avenue. Li Qing's remarks are no different from when facing the previous groups of officials, "I don't plan to go back for the time being." ”
"Don't embarrass the ministers. Xia Nanfeng said with a sad face, "Your Majesty has a decree that no matter what means you use, you will be brought back to the imperial capital, even if you use force." ”
"Does Governor Xia want to make a move against this king?" Li Qing still had a smile on his face, but the eyes of the Suzaku and Qinglong and others beside him showed a look of vigilance, and their right hands pressed on the weapons one after another.
"The minister didn't dare to be disrespectful to the prince. Xia Nanfeng tried his best to make his tone soft, "Please also ask the prince not to embarrass the ministers." ”
As a Lingzun boss, he naturally had the confidence to take down Li Qing, but when he thought that the person in front of him was not only talented, but also more likely to be the next imperial prince and the future emperor of Daqian, he felt extremely painful, and hated Emperor Li Jiuye for arranging such a thankless errand for him.
"This king is well aware of the difficulties of the governor of Xia. Li Qinghe said pleasantly, "However, in life, things are often unsatisfactory, and it is always difficult to achieve both, please forgive me." ”
"Is the prince really unwilling to go back with the minister?" Xia Nanfeng showed a bitter face, and scolded the three generations of the ancestors and grandchildren of the old Li family in his heart, but he didn't dare to be rude in his mouth.
"Don't go. Li Qing shook his head categorically.
"The emperor's order is in his body, and the minister has no choice but to offend. Xia Nanfeng sighed, bowed slightly to Li Qing, and then his body slowly floated into the air.
A powerful Spirit Venerable coercion emanated from Xia Nanfeng's body, enveloping a radius of tens of zhang.
Suzaku and the others only felt stiff, and the spiritual power in their bodies instantly lost their reactions, and even their actions became extremely difficult, and the women who were hiding in the woods and peeping did not have any cultivation, and they were even more unbearable, and they suddenly fell to the ground.
"Xia Nanfeng, you are so bold!" Bai Hu is a fiery temper, seeing Xia Nanfeng take the initiative, he couldn't help but scold, "How dare you be rude to the prince!"
Since he was determined to make a move, Xia Nanfeng no longer had any scruples, ignored the White Tiger's questioning, and directly stretched out his right hand, and his spiritual power turned into a huge palm, grabbing it towards the direction where Li Qing was: "Lord Wang, go with me!"
Seeing that the giant palm of spiritual power was about to touch Li Qing's body, Suzaku and the others all showed a look of anxiety on their faces.
However, Xia Nanfeng's majestic palm approached Li Qingzhou's body, but it suddenly retracted as if he had pinched a cactus.
The new governor of southern Xinjiang had an expression of disbelief on his face, and his mouth was so wide open that he could almost stuff an entire egg into it.
