After praising Ji Han and the merits of the demon army, Emperor Ji Xuan praised the righteous deeds of the 36 countries of the Western Regions and the Buddha Kingdom, and between his words, he looked like he wanted to reward them.

As for Li Mu, he didn't even mention a word.

The ministers behind the emperor are all human spirits, and they immediately know what to say and what not to say later.

"Okay, let's all enter the Tianyuan Hall with me! I want to reward all those who have done it! Ji Xuan waved his hand.

When the group entered the Tianyuan Palace, Ji Xuan couldn't wait to ask Jiang Mingyuan: "Taifu, you are an old minister of the Three Dynasties, you are highly respected, this time Uncle Yan Wang has made great contributions, how do you think I should reward him?" ”

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Yan is a member of the royal family, and it is his duty to protect his family and defend the country, but it is a large army of demon suppressors, who sacrifice their lives and forget to die to fight to the death with demon beasts, and they have great merit and deserve to be rewarded!" Jiang Mingyuan opened his mouth with a smile.

Dog thief ...... Ji Han's face sank, and there was a sharp flicker in his eyes.

Although he and Jiang Mingyuan are both the masters of the Nine Heavens Ying Yuan Divine Mansion, there are still many dirty things between them!

Obviously, Jiang Mingyuan didn't want him to gain too many benefits this time.

Fortunately, the Taishi Pang Weiran on the side immediately spoke: "Your Majesty, if you don't reward His Royal Highness King Yan, I'm afraid the soldiers will not accept it." Besides, what if the demon kingdom invades again in the future? ”

You can't unload the mill and kill the donkey!

The huge division is serious and long-hearted.

Ji Xuan groaned slightly, and then added several false positions to King Yan, and then rewarded a bunch of spiritual objects, most of which were offered by other countries during the great tribute, which were not only valuable, but also of extraordinary significance, which can show the emperor's kindness to King Yan!

"Minister, thank you for the reward!" Ji Han thanked the emperor happily, but he was furious in his heart.

This bastard nephew's reward is all some flashy things, for ordinary monks, it may be very precious, but he is the king of Yan, almost one person under ten thousand people, this kind of thing, there are many in his treasury, what is rare?

If you really want to reward this king, you might as well give you the piece of 'He's Bi' in your imperial study!"

Ji Han was unhappy in his heart, but he was very grateful to Dade on his face.

Then, Ji Xuan rewarded the monks of the Divine Mansion and the monks of the Military Department, then the Great Qian's sects, and finally, it was finally the turn of the Western Regions!

Ji Xuan's eyes sparkled, his eyes stared at Jiang Mingyuan fiercely, and asked, "Taifu, how should the Western Regions be rewarded?" ”

Jiang Mingyuan immediately said: "Your Majesty, the Western Regions sent tens of thousands of monks to support this time, and in the battle with the Demon Kingdom, there were heavy casualties, not seriously injured, not enough to show the grace of heaven!" ”

"Taifu is right, the Western Regions deserve to be rewarded!" Ji Xuan nodded heavily, then looked at Princess Peacock and asked, "Princess Peacock, what reward do you want from the thirty-six countries of the Western Regions?" I've got you covered! ”

Ji Han's eyebrows twitched: What rewards are satisfied?

Then if you want your harmony, do you give it or not?

It's really a forgetful uncle!

Ji Han was full of slander in his heart.

The princes and ministers on both sides also whispered, feeling that His Majesty's words were a bit full, what if the lion in the Western Regions opened his mouth?

But before they could refute it, the Peacock Princess had already spoken, and said: "Your Majesty, the thirty-six countries of the Western Regions are in the same breath as the Great Qian, and this help is for the sake of the righteousness of the human race, and I dare not ask for a reward." ”

"Nothing?" Ji Xuan pretended to be surprised.

The peacock princess shook her head firmly.

"Do you really want anything?" Ji Xuan asked again.

"Don't do it!" The peacock princess said.

Ji Xuan looked at Yue Tiannu, the abbot of Bodhi Temple, and asked, "What about the Buddha Kingdom in the Western Regions?" ”

Yue Tiannu looked up at the emperor and said, "There are two requirements for this seat. ”

Two?

Ji Xuan frowned: "Which two requirements, let's listen to them." ”

Yue Tiannu said: "First, please ask Your Majesty to want the demon monk Sanchen, this person is good at bewitching, if he is allowed to let himself go, I am afraid that it will cause a big disaster and ruin the lives of the people!" ”

"Sanchen?" Ji Xuan looked at Ji Han.

Ji Han stepped forward, thought about it for a while, and chose to transmit the voice: "Your Majesty, Sanchen is the successor of Maitreya Buddhism, and it is not tolerated by the Western Regions, in addition, Sanchen has a bronze tripod in his hand, which is suspected to be the Great Qin Jiuding!" After the minister repelled the demon country, he wanted to capture Sanchen, but unfortunately he was stabbed by Li Mu, so that Sanchen escaped! ”

Great Qin Jiuding?!

Ji Xuan was shocked and almost stood up from the dragon chair, and immediately became furious: Li Mu, it's Li Mu again!!

Daqin Jiuding, I actually missed Daqin Jiuding!

It's too much to deceive people, Li Mu!

Ji Xuan forcibly held back his killing intent, looked at Yue Tiannu, and said, "Sanchen dares to preach the demon law and bewitch sentient beings, the sin is unforgivable!" Mu Shangshu, this shackle is wanted immediately! ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Mu Wentu, the secretary of the Criminal Department, responded respectfully.

"What's the second requirement?" Ji Xuan asked again.

Yue Tiannu nodded lightly and said, "This second requirement is related to the future of the Western Regions and Daqian. ”

"The future? What is it? The abbot said it was! Ji Xuan couldn't wait to ask.

"The Western Regions want to marry Daqian, so that the Western Regions and Daqian are one family." Yuetiannu clasped her hands together.

"Marriage?" Ji Xuan pretended to be worried: "With the merits of the Western Regions this time, marriage is not impossible, but according to the past practice, the marriage needs to marry my princess into the Western Regions, but under my knees, there is no princess yet!" ”

"It's the same with letting the princess of the Western Regions marry into Daqian." Yuetiannu Road.

"This ...... What do you think? Ji Xuan quickly glanced at Qin Mengyao, who was silent on the side, and then hurriedly asked the ministers below.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks it's okay!" Jiang Mingyuan said: "Your Majesty and the queen have been married for more than two years, and it is time to choose concubines and fill the harem." ”

"The minister seconded the proposal!" Ji Han said.

He knew that Li Mu was Empress Qin Mengyao's person, and letting the princess of the Western Regions enter the harem, even if he couldn't divide the authority in the queen's hands, at least, he could block her!

"The minister seconded the proposal." Pang Taishi followed.

"The minister seconded the proposal." Kong Yi, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, thought about it and chose to agree.

The emperor has no heirs, so he should accept scarlet robes and spread the branches!

"The minister also seconded the proposal." Zhang Ziyao, the secretary of the ministry, also voted in favor.

The left and right phases did not refuse.

The general trend has been achieved, even if the queen's sister is against it, it doesn't matter...... Ji Xuan looked at Qin Mengyao beside him with a fluctuating heart, and said, "Queen, what do you think?" ”

"Since all the adults have no objections, this palace naturally does not dare to object, but I don't know which princess the Western Regions plans to send to marry?" Qin Mengyao asked.

Yue Tiannu said: "In the countries of the Western Regions, there is only one person who can match Emperor Daqian, and that is the Peacock Princess of Loulan." ”

The eyes of everyone in the hall were suddenly focused on the peacock princess.

No wonder His Majesty asked her what she wanted just now, but she didn't want anything, she was waiting here!

Ji Xuan's face was slightly ruddy, and he asked, "Peacock Princess, what do you think?" ”

"It's up to Your Majesty and the abbot to decide." The peacock princess lowered her head and said, that delicate face is charming and shy, although it is not as beautiful as Qin Mengyao, but it is also a rare stunner!

"In that case, the matter is settled!" Ji Xuan couldn't help but be excited, and turned to Zhang Ziyao and said, "Lord Zhang, since King Yan has recaptured Tai'a County, he ordered you to send another county guard and county commander to serve within three days!" ”

Zhang Ziyao's eyes moved, and he bowed his hand: "Yes, Your Majesty." ”

"Your Majesty, as far as the minister knows, several county orders of Tai'a County are still there, and they are ...... in the battle with the Demon Kingdom" Kong Yi came out, but was interrupted before he finished speaking.

Ji Leng snorted: "Lord Kong, when the Demon Kingdom invaded Tai'a County, if these county commanders died in the line of duty, it would be a great achievement, but they chose to live secretly, which is a big crime!" Even if he makes new contributions later, he can't offset the merits, otherwise how can he face the people who died tragically in the hands of demon beasts? Your Majesty didn't blame them, it was already a grace of heaven, did they still want to be reinstated? ”

"What His Royal Highness King Yan said is that His Majesty is wise!" Pang Taishi said.

Jiang Mingyuan, Mu Wentu and others also came forward to second.

Although no one in the field mentioned Li Mu, everyone knew that this was targeting Li Mu!

"Your Majesty and the ministers have thought it through?" Qin Mengyao opened her mouth faintly.

People are easily deceived by the interests in front of them, but they don't know that leaving the court may not be a sleepy dragon ascending to heaven for Li Mu!

"Queen, this is a major national event, although you are the queen, it is not good to meddle in the government, so as not to be impeached by the imperial history." Ji Xuan said in a low voice.

"Your Majesty doesn't regret it." Qin Mengyao smiled slightly and stopped talking.

……

The pilgrimage ends.

Qin Mengyao took the maids Youlan and Xiaoju back to Fengming Palace, and Princess Ling Shishi of Chu was also there.

"You shouldn't have come back." Qin Mengyao moved lightly and said softly: "This entire imperial capital is like a prison, you finally got out, why do you have to come back." ”

Wouldn't it be better to be a fairy couple with Li Mu?

"Niangniang is kind to me, I want to at least do something for Niangniang before leaving." Ling Shishi spoke, her tone as cold as an ice fountain in the mountains.

Qin Mengyao sighed.

Approaching Fengming Palace, far away, Zhu'er stood outside the round door, waving a letter at them: "Niangniang, princess, Leng Mei has a letter!" ”

She jumped over and handed the letter to Qin Mengyao.

Qin Mengyao opened the letter with a smile, quickly read the content of the letter, and said softly: "The world is really wonderful. ”

She sent Leng Mei to find Li Mu's relatives and friends, but was captured by the demon king, and then was rescued by Li Mu's subordinate Lin Youjing, and she also found out that there were eight demon kings and three-headed demon lords in the demon country in that place called Divine Bird Peak!

The most important thing is that Leng Mei saw Li Mu and could confirm that he was safe and sound, and his strength had gone further, and he was able to win the battle with the Demon Venerable of the Demon Kingdom!

She handed the letter to Ling Shishi and said, "Li Mu's matter has finally come to an end. ”

……

Soon, the imperial court's reward for the demon army spread throughout the imperial capital at a very fast speed.

"Why can't I see the Poetry Sword Immortal on the reward list?"

"Didn't you say that the Poetry Sword Immortal turned the tide?"

"According to this imperial decree, Shi Jianxian not only did not attack, but even had to be taken off the black gauze hat!"

"How so? Could it be that there is a villain who is slandered? ”

The people are talking a lot, and the spearhead of public opinion is directed at Yan Wang Ji Han!

Who made this prince the commander of the demon army, and moreover, he got the most rewards, all kinds of tributes, as if they didn't need money, and sent them to the Yan Wang's Mansion as if they didn't need money!

Some people even speculated that so many spiritual objects were enough to pay off his gambling debts with the thirty-six countries of the Western Regions!

When Ji Han heard these rumors, it was a dumb person eating coptis, and he knew that he was bitter!

He sent the Divine Mansion to live in the four main streets and various auxiliary roads, but he still couldn't suppress the rumors that were getting stronger and stronger!

Faintly, Ji Han felt that someone was targeting him!

It's just that I don't know who the person behind this is!

……

In a magnificent attic.

Two men are sitting opposite each other drinking tea.

"The matter of Dijing has been settled, Li Mu, are you sure?" A middle-aged man in a Confucian robe sipped a fragrant tea and asked softly.

"Don't worry, this time, I have been baited, and Li Mu will definitely be fooled!" The man sitting opposite smiled and said, "It's just that Li Mu is no longer a county order, why don't we win him over?" ”

"I don't care if he is a county commander or not, what I care about is his identity in the Hanlin Academy!" The man in the Confucian robe said: "As long as he is a deacon of the Hanlin Academy one day, and there is an incident in the imperial capital one day, he will definitely come to interfere!" ”

"Hey." The man on the other side sighed, shook his head and said no more.

……

A month passed in a flash

Hengduan Mountains, the bottom of the Nu River.

Li Mu opened his eyes from the pitch-black environment, the golden ripples dispelled the darkness, and he could see a big turtle lying not far away, spitting bubbles, very comfortable.

Finally, the seventy-two realms are over...... Li Mu's mind sank into the seventy-two evil sources on the blue lotus of the Mud Pill Palace, and suddenly a feeling of great perfection surged into his heart.

Sure enough, the limit of the Earth Evil Realm is the seventy-two realms, and if you want to break through further, you can only use the Qi of Tiangang!

The Quanzhen Dao Leader said that under normal circumstances, it would take three years for the Cave Heaven to give birth to the Qi of Tiangang.

And this year is the third year!

Li Mu groaned while absorbing the aura at the bottom of the river, and a large amount of aura gathered from all around, turning into a huge waterspout and pouring into Li Mu's body.

The big turtle was almost swept away by the whirlpool, so he quickly pulled his limbs and dodged far away.

Half a day later, Li Mu finally sucked up and broke out of the river.

He let out a long roar, and the sound waves rolled, sweeping around like a thunderstorm, shaking the river and making the river tremble.

The demon beast within a radius of dozens of miles was directly frightened by his terrifying sound and fled.

"Happy!" Li Mu blasted out with a punch into the sky, and seventy-two evil qi were entangled, turning into pitch-black fist marks, smashing heavily into the void!

Rumble!

There was a roar in the sky, and countless hair-thick cracks swayed!

Does the fist shake the void?

Li Mu is very satisfied with his cultivation, and now if he encounters that pull back again, he guarantees that he can beat it with just his fists!

"Moo~" The big turtle also surfaced on the surface of the river and shouted happily at Li Mu.

"Brother Turtle, thank you." Li Mu arched his hand at it and said, "Something will happen in the future......

Li Mu wanted to introduce the big turtle to his big crow brother, but when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them back.

There's no way, Raven is a foodie, what if it falls in love with the big turtle and knocks it out of the bone and sucks the marrow?

Forget it, let's not see each other.

Saying goodbye to the big turtle, Li Mu traveled to the river and flew towards the southern Zhaoguo.

Picking up the earth seal, the realm has also reached the limit of the earth shatter realm, it's time to go see Zhao Tianci!

PS: Yang is yang, it's really uncomfortable!
