After the small court meeting, Emperor Ji Xuan came to the Fengming Hall of the queen's bedroom with a spring breeze on his face, and he wanted to tell the queen carefully about the emperor's power that he had just been in the Zichen Palace!

"The slave has seen Your Majesty!" The palace maid outside the Fengming Hall saw the emperor coming, and hurriedly bent down to report: "Your Majesty, Niangniang summoned Princess Chu into the palace, and she is enjoying the snow at the Autumn Lake at the moment."

After winter, the temperature in Dijing plummeted, and yesterday there was a heavy snowfall, frozen for hundreds of miles!

However, no matter how cold the temperature is, it can't suppress the vitality of heaven and earth.

On the shore of Qiuhu Lake, hundreds of willows are covered in heavy snow and covered in silver, but under the white snow, the crisp green buds on the willow branches are tenaciously exposed in the snow clothes.

Next to the willow tree, two peerless beauties are standing near the lake.

Qin Mengyao is wearing a red palace dress, with a standard goose egg face, moth eyebrows, phoenix eyes and starry eyes, Qiong nose and sandalwood mouth, and her facial features are like a dream, in this ice and snow, she is so beautiful!

She has ice muscles and jade bones, a graceful temperament, and is indescribably expensive, so that people can't have a blasphemous heart when they see it, like a goddess of the Nine Heavens.

Ling Shishi, the princess of Chu on the side, was dressed in a white waxy skirt, her face was like Shunhua, her breath was like a quiet orchid, her skin was like clotted fat, her hands were soft, her waist was like a vegetarian, and her elegance was peerless, like a fairy who did not eat fireworks in the world.

Qin Mengyao looked at Ling Shishi's flawless face carefully, and saw that her eyelashes trembled slightly, before she smiled and said, "Looking back and smiling, the six palaces have no color. The princess has already fallen into the country and the city before she laughs, and she doesn't know how gorgeous she is when she laughs. This palace suddenly became a little jealous of Li Mu."

Ling Shishi lowered her eyes and watched the koi fish in the autumn lake break through the ice, and the splashes reflected the crystal brilliance in the white sunlight.

She said softly: "However, the posture of Pu Liu is not as good as the fragrance of Niangniang."

"Pu Liuzi, when those ladies and ladies outside heard this, they were afraid that they would jump into the river with jealousy." Qin Mengyao quipped, then changed her words and said in a deep voice, "You really think about it, you want to go south with the imperial army?"

Ling Shishi nodded: "Li Mu is kind to me, now he has been asleep in Nanzhao, Dingbo Hou and the Zhao family are eyeing each other, once the Nanzhao royal family compromises...... If I already know this, how can I stand idly by?"

"I would have hid it from you if I had known." Qin Mengyao sighed and asked, "It's just that there is more than one way to Nanzhao, why do you choose the most difficult one?"

If Ling Shishi goes south with the imperial army, she must go deep into Tai'a County, which is now occupied by the demon country, and then cross the Hengduan Mountain Range, to which the demon country belongs, and finally follow the Nu River to reach Nanzhao, which is dangerous and self-evident!

On the contrary, if she passes through Pinghai or Dinghai County from Lingyun County, she can directly enter the sea, avoid the demon country, and quickly reach Nanzhao!

And this road, you can go back to Ling's house to see.

"When I married into the Chu Palace, I had nothing to do with the Ling family." Ling Shishi said: "I chose to go south because I wanted to enter Tai'a County to see if I could find Li Mu's relatives."

"He has no relatives, only a concubine, why risk his life?" Qin Mengyao persuaded.

"Didn't Niangniang also send her henchmen to Tai'a County?" Ling Shishi looked at her, her dark eyes were like stars, and in this snowy day, she exuded a cold starlight.

Qin Mengyao saw a little warmth in it, and she said with a smile: "Since you have made up your mind to go, then this palace happens to have something to ask you." ….

"What?" Ling Shishi asked.

"The henchmen sent by this palace...... It's missing." Qin Mengyao took out a letter and said, "This is the last letter she sent back."

Ling Shishi took the letter and was about to take a closer look when Zhu'er's voice suddenly came from a distance: "Your Majesty has arrived!"

"I'll do my best." Ling Shishi put away the letter and nodded slightly towards Qin Mengyao.

Soon, Ji Xuan came closer, his eyes went back and forth on Qin Mengyao and Ling Shishi, only to feel that the colors in the world had lost their color, gray and black, only the two in front of him were stunning, exuding the most dazzling light.

"Princess Chu, it's been good lately." Ji Xuan spoke.

Since the news of the disappearance of Chu King Ji Changqiu came from Longhu Mountain, Ji Xuan was very angry at first, after all, the King of Chu was a relative of the emperor, and he disappeared and slapped the Ji royal family in the face!

But when Qin Mengyao often summoned the princess of Chu to the palace to appease him about the disappearance of the king of Chu, he felt that the disappearance of the king of Chu was not a bad thing.

"All is well, thank you for your concern." Ling Shishi replied coldly.

Ji Xuan was not annoyed, but admired Ling Shishi's cold temperament, the kind of posture that can be seen from a distance and cannot be blasphemed, which makes his heart itch very much!

"Your Majesty, how are you talking to the ministers, when will the imperial army be able to gather and go south?" Qin Mengyao diverted the topic and asked.

"I'm about to tell the Queen!" Ji Xuan's eyes lit up, and he said the matter of his great power in the Zichen Hall just now, intimidating the ministers, and ordering them to assemble a large army, and finally concluded: "Within seven days, the army will be able to gather and go south, and then directly join the army of the Western Regions in Gusu County, and then enter Xihua County, and drive the group of beasts in the demon country out of my Daqian land!"

Ji Xuan was in high spirits, imagining that the demon country would be driven out of Daqian, and the people would be grateful for submission, so his heart was surging, and then, he thought that the Western Regions had helped a lot this time, and the Peacock Princess who commanded the army of the Western Regions would inevitably return to the imperial capital with the army, and listen to his reward!

What shall she be rewarded in that time?

Ji Xuan felt his blood boiling a little, but then he remembered something again.

In the letter from the Western Regions, one thing was specifically mentioned!

Ji Xuan looked at Ling Shishi, and his cold temperament instantly made his heart stop like water.

"Your Majesty." Qin Mengyao said, "Princess Chu also wants to go south with the army and contribute to my great efforts."

"Ah, this ......" Ji Xuan was stunned, this is too coincidental!

The thing mentioned in the letter from the Western Regions is that I hope that Ling Shishi, the princess of Chu, can also go south, and the south of the Bodhi Temple cannot print the Bodhisattva, so I want to see her in person!

"Your Majesty, this palace feels that since the disappearance of Uncle Chu Wang, Princess Chu has been full of anger and depression, and has been staying alone in the palace, in the long run, I am afraid that it will be unfavorable to practice, if she is allowed to go south with the army, first, to relax, and second, it can also boost the morale of the army." Qin Mengyao said.

Ji Xuan came back to his senses, nodded heavily, and said, "Since the queen said so, it would be unkind for me to refuse again, and I agreed!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Ling Shishi said.

……

Nanzhao.

Li Mu flew with a sword, and according to the map of Nanzhao, he found the lower reaches of the Nu River.

The terrain of Nanzhao is gentle, so after the Nu River exits the Hengduan Mountains, the rushing water gradually tends to flatten. ….

Li Mu looked down, and the Nu River, which was dozens of miles wide, was like a long lake, and the smoke waves were vast.

Li Mu went against the current and found that on both sides of the Nu River, there were no people for hundreds of miles!

There was even a town that was clearly abandoned.

Li Mu guessed that it should be caused by the Nujiang Demon Beast.

Suddenly, a huge wave surged on the water surface in the center of the river, and through the water surface, a giant snake tens of meters long could be faintly seen, with a hideous snake head facing the sky, as if looking at Li Mu!

Li Mu sensed it carefully and found that this snake demon had about the cultivation of the Twenty Realms of Earthshatter!

"Li Mu, big snake ~ delicious ~ " The doll was sandwiched under Li Mu's armpit, but the big head was very flexible, looking left and right, pointing at this huge snake demon hiding under the river, salivating!

It can be seen that the doll's food in the past half a year is very good, and now in addition to duck and Lingyou, even the snake demon is on her recipe!

Li Mu symbolically stretched out his sword finger and cut it down, and the cyan sword light broke through the air, making a deafening sword sound.

The snake demon sensed that it was powerful, and rolled into the bottom of the river and never showed its head again.

"Damn~Ran away by the big snake~" The doll said angrily.

"Okay, don't see anything and want to eat, you're not a pig." Li Mu patted her on the head, and then checked her body.

This girl ate some real dragon gall on the island last time, and fell asleep for a long time, and when she woke up, Li Mu slept for another half a year, and she hadn't carefully examined her body.

Li Mu condensed and was shocked to find that the majestic vitality in the doll's body had disappeared!

But soon he found out that this was not the case, but that vitality was completely digested and absorbed by the doll's body!

In other words, the doll at this time is like a walking Tang monk, or a ginseng fruit, her flesh and bones, and even her skin and hair, are all the best elixirs for others, and they are hard to find!

Organs such as eyes and five internal organs are the best of the best, although they are not as good as the gall of the real dragon, but they are much stronger than those dragons and the like!

It's just that...... Although the doll has become 'strong', it doesn't seem to have become 'strong', and it is still a scumbag.

Li Mu was amazed.

But then again, since there is no problem for the doll to swallow the true dragon's gall, then ...... Li Mu thought of the only remaining baby's fist-sized true dragon gall in the storage bag in his arms, and he was a little nervous.

Unfortunately, now is not the time...... Li Mu sighed secretly.

There are many demon beasts in the lower reaches of the Nu River, most of them are between the 20th and 40th realms of the earth, and these demon beasts have their own territory and do not invade each other.

Li Mu had a bad feeling.

He suspected that these demon beasts were also from the demon country, perhaps, they were outposts sent by the demon country, and they would officially invade Nanzhao when the war on Daqian's side was over!

Thinking wildly, Li Mu finally came to the Hengduan Mountain Range, and the mountains in front of him were vertical and horizontal, and the clouds and mist were shrouded, as if they were going to stretch to the end of the world.

Yesterday there was a heavy snowfall, and the mountains were covered in silver and extremely cold.

"Wow, there are so many snowy mountains~" The doll tilted her neck and looked ahead curiously: "Li Mu, where are we going?"

"Go home." Li Mudao, if the home is still there.

When the words fell, Li Mu turned into a sword rainbow and inserted it straight into the Hengduan Mountain Range!

Entering the mountain range, Li Mu found that the aura of heaven and earth around him was even stronger than before! ….

Li Mu was a little puzzled.

It has been nearly two years since the purple qi came from the east two years ago, and it has been nearly two years since today, how can this aura feel as if it has not completely recovered?

He wanted to throw branches and look for opportunities, but considering Han Qingqian and Lin Yujing, he had no choice but to give up.

……

Meanwhile.

In the depths of the Hengduan Mountains, at the mouth of the Nu River and the Lancang River, on the river surface for dozens of miles, a huge turtle shell is loaded and floating.

On the back of the turtle shell, there was a delirious woman, slender and wearing a green coat, which looked even thinner against the backdrop of the silver-covered mountains on both sides of the river.

"Roar!" At this time, a hideous crocodile poked its head out of the river, and the blood-colored twin children stared at the woman in Tsing Yi, slowly opening their fangs and biting it.

Suddenly, the water surged rapidly, and the large turtle shell, which was loaded and floating, seemed to be alive, swimming in the river at a very fast speed.

When the crocodile saw it, it was anxious, flicked its tail frantically, drew a white wave in the river, chased after it, and roared and screamed, as if to say: Wait for me!

Well...... In a soft whisper, the woman in green clothes on the turtle shell slowly woke up, and after a short period of confusion, she woke up in shock, and subconsciously grabbed the long sword at her waist, but unfortunately grabbed it empty.

My hoarfrost?

Leng Mei was stunned, and immediately remembered that she was ordered to go deep into Tai'a County to find the whereabouts of Li Mu's relatives, but unfortunately she was discovered by the demon beast and chased all the way.

Eventually, exhausted and ...... Faint.

"I'm not dead? Where am I?" Leng Mei hurriedly looked around, but found that the surrounding area was sparkling, and the snow-capped mountains were in the distance, and behind her, a huge and hideous dragon head ...... No, it's the crocodile in hot pursuit, and the blood-colored boy stares at him, full of desire to see the food!

And beneath her, there was a huge turtle shell.

"Moo~" Under the turtle's shell, a head as thick as a water tank drilled out of the river, making a cow-like roar.

"You saved me?" Leng Mei vigilantly half-squatted on the turtle shell, and at the same time looked inwardly at her body, and found that the injuries on her body were wrapped in the rich aura nearby, and she had already recovered.

It's just a pity that the hoarfrost is gone.

Leng Mei took out the elixir from the storage bag in her arms and swallowed it quickly.

"Roar!

The crocodile roared angrily behind him.

"Moo~~" The turtle mooed as it swam quickly

Non-stop.

It seems that she is communicating with the demon crocodile behind, but unfortunately, Leng Mei can't understand what the two demons are saying.

But she could guess that she must be fighting for her right to belong!

"Are you going to eat me, or are you going to enslave me?" Leng Mei got up coldly, and she said to herself, "This should be the Lancang River...... No, this river is so wide, it should be the Nu River. I was taken to the Hengduan Mountains by this tortoise."

As we all know, the Hengduan Mountains are already the territory of the demon country, and the Nu River is located in the hinterland of the demon country.

Entering here, it is basically impossible to go out again.

Leng Mei looked desperate.

"Niangniang, I'm sorry, I can't serve you anymore." Leng Mei whispered softly: "Li Mu, I'm sorry, your hoarfrost was lost by me, I'll compensate you again in the next life, if there is still a next life...... Zhu'er, I'm not here, don't be reckless in the future. Xiaoju, you should be dozing off, right? I want to be carefree in my next life...... Youlan, I'll leave it to you."

Leng Mei's eyes gradually became firmer, she raised her head against the wind, poured her spiritual power into her throat, and shouted coldly: "I am the Great Qian Empire of the Human Race, Leng Mei, the deacon of the Hanlin Academy! No matter what your purpose in arresting me, you won't succeed! I will not obey!"

"Roar!

After the turtle shell, the demon crocodile saw Leng Mei flying into the air, and was overjoyed, and with a flick of the crocodile's tail, the huge body broke through the river in an instant, turned into a black mang, and shot Leng Mei with electricity.

Leng Mei was just about to condense her spiritual power to fight to the death, when she heard a clear voice suddenly come from the river in the distance: "Stop!

When the demon crocodile heard the sound, the child hole shrank, and the demon power on his body boiled in an instant, and the speed skyrocketed by three percent!

"The sunshine incense burner produces purple smoke, and the waterfall hangs in front of the river. The flying stream went straight down 3,000 feet, and it is suspected that the Milky Way has fallen for nine days!"

Rumble!

A bright silver rainbow shot out from afar, and at the last moment, it repelled the demon crocodile!

"Roar!

The crocodile spilled blood from its mouth and nose and roared in anger.

At this time, Leng Mei didn't have time to pay attention to this demon crocodile, but looked at the direction Changhong came from with a face full of surprise: "Li Mu?"

"Do you know my family?" The owner of the voice finally came closer, and it was a young man with a gun with ordinary facial features, a tall and thin body, and sharp eyes.

"In the Lower Forest Hatchling!".

Blame.
