Li Jing's face turned red, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.

Li Ping'an took a bite of food: "Everyone eats, when I'm not here." ”

Several disciples picked up chopsticks in unison, lowered their heads to pick up vegetables, and cooked with their heads bored.

Li Jing's face was ashamed: "Your Majesty, I didn't expect this thing to alarm you." ”

"Don't feel guilty, I'm just passing by here," Li Ping'an responded casually, "Ning Ning will come back and take a look, I'll come to see Ning Ning, by the way, let's see if there is any change in the sect, the development has been good over the years, the number of disciples has increased several times, and many of them are people with long luck and excellent qualifications." ”

The elders at the next table smiled and kept nodding.

Elder Yan Sheng took a few puffs of dry tobacco, looked at the backs of Li Ping'an and Li Jing, and there was a little more smile on the old face.

Li Ping'an asked: "Li Jing, you haven't answered my question yet, don't treat you as a private occasion, I can't punish you." ”

Li Jing smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, the last general has not been excluded, my colleagues in the Heavenly Court have treated me very well, because of my status as a disciple of the Cloud Casting Sect, the seniors of the human race will also take special care." ”

"And what are you depressed about?"

"It's not depression," Li Jing sighed, "Heavenly Court will gather stars, Li Jing is really inconspicuous here, and because of his status as a disciple of the Cloud Casting Sect, he is looked down upon, but he has no commendable half-point combat exploits at hand. ”

Li Ping'an couldn't help laughing: "Do you think you don't have a talent?" ”

"Your Majesty, you have tormented Li Jing."

Li Jing smiled bitterly:

"I just feel that I am not strong enough, and it is not that I have no talents.

"Heavenly Court can recruit good fighters who don't know geometry, and the skills of the heroes of the ancient human race are enough for Li Jing to learn for thousands of years.

"I'm just a little monk who walked out of the mountain gate, it's hard to compare with it, it's better to follow the master and give up my position to those who are more talented."

Li Ping'an said: "Honestly? ”

"Yes," Li Jing bowed his head in response.

"Is there an old minister of the ancient human race who is putting pressure on you?"

"No," Li Jing thought for a while, "As far as I know, there is no such situation, the generals of the Heavenly Court have always been happy with each other in private, and everyone talks more about which Chang'e in the Moon Palace is better-looking." ”

Li Ping'an nodded to show that he understood, and gave Li Jing a mouthful of green vegetables.

"You're not confident anymore."

Li Jing sighed and bowed his head silently.

Li Ping'an said: "I thought you had suffered some grievances, I, the Emperor of Heaven, had been practicing in retreat before, and I was afraid that I would neglect my own family...... Alas, in fact, there is no need to think so much, just because you accompanied Heaven through the first difficult years, this credit is immeasurable, and it is not something that others can shake. ”

"Your Majesty, you are benevolent and righteous, we all know it."

Li Jing smiled bitterly:

"I want to rest and rest in the sect and practice in retreat for a while."

"What is the purpose of retreat? Heavenly Court can't do without one or two golden immortals? ”

Li Ping'an looked at Li Jing and said:

"What Heavenly Court lacks now is a talent like the King of the East, who can command the overall situation, can coordinate troops and horses, knows how to make good use of people and is not jealous of meritocracy, and can win more with less in wartime, and can control the casualties in a very small number when winning more and less.

"Is this what cultivation can give you? Eat, how to drink without eating. ”

Li Jing subconsciously picked up chopsticks and pinched a green vegetable.

The disciples at the same table continued to bury their heads in cooking.

With a soft sound, Li Ping'an and Li Jing clinked their glasses and drank all the immortal brew in the wine bottle.

The wine has passed three rounds, and the dishes have passed five flavors.

Outside this main hall, there were already many disciples who had heard the news and rushed to watch the Heavenly Emperor's honor.

Some of the disciples who bragged about 'what am I doing with the Emperor of Heaven' on weekdays are mostly a little weak at the moment.

Li Ping'an saw that Li Jing was slightly drunk, so he took the initiative to speak:

"Li Jing, you don't have to be confident.

"Those Terran heroes all came to fight all the way with the Human Emperor, and those who survived were all veterans who had been in battle for a long time, but Heavenly Court could not only have veterans.

"The divine position of the heavenly court cannot be set in stone, otherwise over time, power will inevitably lead to corruption and self-degradation.

"The divine rank and the divine position of the heavenly court are separated, which is also something I have considered before, especially the general.

"You were born in the Cloud Casting Sect and the Heavenly Emperor Academy, this background is full, and among the students of your academy in the same period, you are one of the best."

Li Jing almost knelt down directly, and said: "Your Majesty, you can personally persuade Li Jing, Li Jing does not dare to disobey his life, you need Li Jing to be in the Heavenly Court, and Li Jing will continue to serve in the Heavenly Court." ”

"You're not in a good state right now, and you're just going back to Heaven to continue to be depressed."

Li Ping'an said without a trace:

"Now that the catastrophe has begun, all parties are calculating, I have the intention to install a few cronies in the catastrophe, are you willing to enter the catastrophe with your body?"

"Yes!"

Li Jing's eyes were shining, and he said: "Li Jing is willing to go to the soup for His Majesty!" ”

"You don't have to go to the soup."

Li Ping'an smiled and took the new wine jug handed by the female disciple on the side, added a glass of wine to Li Jing, and continued to command:

"The situation of this catastrophe has basically been determined now, and it will be carried out in the land of Nanzhou.

"Nanzhou is now a mortal place, there will be changes soon, the Peerless Great Array will be opened, if everything goes well, Nanzhou will suppress the power of the immortals, you cultivate like this, you will not be able to play a hundred and one, and it will be forbidden to the sky.

"It's a secret, don't tell anyone about it, and now Our Lady is working on the transformation of the Great Array.

"The center of Nanzhou is called the Shang State, the Shang State is now unstable, there are 800 vassal states under his rule, these vassal states have been divided into four camps in the southeast, southeast and northwest according to their location, except for the northern camp, the other three directions of the vassal states have no heart of submission.

"There will be turmoil there, and the catastrophe will depend on the survival of the Shang Kingdom.

"Later, I will send you into the Shang Kingdom, go now, don't wait for the opening of the Peerless Great Array, what you need to do is to hide your identity as an immortal and seek a position as a military general in the Shang Kingdom, the position is not too high, just be the commander of the army."

"Then you have to marry and have children, and this is the most important thing, and you will have as many children as you can.

"Remember, everything is for the sake of the Great Tribulation, and Heavenly Court can take more of the initiative."

Li Jing nodded solemnly and said, "The last general will take orders!" ”

"Do you have anyone else you can trust?"

Li Ping'an seemed to ask very casually:

"We can install as many as we can, and we must be loyal to Heavenly Court."

Li Jing thought for a while, and replied in a voice: "There will be a few brothers who have a deep friendship in the end, but they are just ......."

"But what? There is no need to swallow and vomit, and there are no outsiders here. ”

"A few of them are from the Demon Infant Army."

Li Jing's face was a little embarrassed, and he said:

"You may not know that the Demon Infant Army is the hundreds of thousands of Demon Babies you rescued at the beginning, although they have been classified as Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals, they are always suspected.

"The last general was in charge of taking care of and supervising the Demon Infant Army, and occasionally interacted with them, but later they got acquainted and often drank together."

Li Ping'an groaned slightly.

Demon Infant Army, isn't it?

"What are the names of them?"

"They originally didn't have a surname, so they simply called themselves the four brothers of the demon family."

Li Ping'an: ......

Good guys, what else does the Baby Army say?

Li Jing's eyes were apprehensive, and he said: "Your Majesty, if you have a problem with the Demon Infant Army, the last general can vouch for them, since the Demon Infant has been civilized, they also know that they are true spirits outside the sky and have entered the sequence of living beings, and when they conquered the small world before, they were often the most ferocious, just to avoid being looked down upon again." ”

"I'm not worried about that."

Li Ping'an said:

"I have a sister-in-law and you know, she is the leader of the Demon Infant Army, how can I have a problem with the Demon Infant Army?

"It's just that most of the demon babies are mentally incomplete."

"Your Majesty said that the mind is incomplete, that was a problem three or four hundred years ago, after His Royal Highness Yao Ji stepped into the realm of heavenly immortals, the Demon Infant Army was completely liberated."

Li Jing explained:

"They are no different from ordinary people."

Li Ping'an nodded: "Then you take them with you and give you and me tokens, so that they can be convinced." ”

As he spoke, Li Ping'an took out a jade bottle in his sleeve, which was surrounded by his unique Dao rhyme and a faint heavenly coercion.

"Inside it are five nine-turn golden pills, refined by Lao Jun, this thing can survive."

"Thank you, Your Majesty," Li Jing thanked him and put the jade bottle in his sleeve.

At this moment, his eyes were shining, and he was almost like two people before.

Li Ping'an also roughly understood Li Jing's temperament.

To put it bluntly, it's just that I'm not willing to be mediocre.

"Remember to read more about the Art of War."

"Remember!"

……

Dong'an City, a restaurant with good business.

Qingsu sat in her private room, and outside the door was a long line of maids, each holding a jade plate with automatic heat preservation and fresh-keeping prohibition, and inside the plate was a variety of new dishes.

The reputation of Yunbing Fairy Gourmets is already thunderous in Dong'an City.

As long as it is a dish that can make her a repeat customer, it will be hot in Dong'an City for a while.

Suddenly, I heard a burst of shouts outside the door:

"His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor has appeared in the Cloud Casting Sect!"

Then there was a noisy voice, and a group of Qi Refiners who were excited for some reason began to call for friends and rush towards the Cloud Casting Sect.

Qingsu was slightly puzzled.

Is his apprentice a rarity? As for such a stirring up of the teacher and the crowd to watch?

Although Li Ping'an had not seen her for tens or hundreds of years when she was in retreat before, she would miss her apprentice a little, and she would also go to Xuandu City to live for a while, so that she could feel more at ease when she saw him.

This is just a kind of love from a master to a disciple. ’

Qingsu explained.

The noisy voices outside the window gradually faded away, and countless streamers really flew out of Dong'an City, flying towards the Casting Cloud Sect.

"Huh? What are you going to see? ”

Turtle Lingling's slightly childish voice sounded from outside the door.

The two maids bowed their heads to give way, and the turtle spirit in a short emerald green skirt jumped in front of Qingsu.

"Wow, that's so good! Get me a pair of chopsticks! ”

Qing Su pursed her lips slightly to express her dissatisfaction: "Don't you have to stay with the sage teacher?" ”

"Hmm-"

The turtle spirit stretched her waist, and the white placket inside the short skirt was shiny.

"Master, his old man is worried, and those of us who are disciples can't help much.

"The Dao Immortal Sealing Tribulation is coming soon, and the catastrophe will inevitably fall within one or two hundred years at the latest, and all the immortals of the Dao Sect are in the calamity."

Qing Su thought for a while: "Dongzhou is also a little unpeaceful, and there has been a big fight before. ”

Turtle Ling sat on Qingsu's right hand, took the chopsticks brought by the maid, tasted the table full of food, and said softly:

"I've asked Senior Brother about this, some sects are arranged by us, and some are not.

"There are still people behind this who want to fish in troubled waters and deliberately make trouble."

Qingsu asked, "Western teaching?" ”

"It's possible," the turtle spirit bar clicked his mouth, "This matter is deep, the human race has no human emperor's protection, and the various sects have begun to emphasize what kind of great Taoist inheritance they are, and many of them claim to be the Taoist inheritance left by the immortals who explain the religion and intercept the sect, and put gold on their faces to accept apprentices." ”

Qingsu put down her chopsticks and thought carefully.

The turtle spirit muttered in a low voice: "Qingqing, do you have something on your mind?" ”

"I'm just thinking about the catastrophe."

The corners of Qingsu's mouth didn't move, but Qingmei's face gave people the meaning that she was smiling.

She said softly: "Shijun Zhilu, being an immortal in the heavenly court is always to consider these, don't let the demons suffer, don't let the strong bully the weak, this is what the heavenly court immortal god should do." ”

"Yes, yes, my big woman."

The turtle spirit grimaced:

"I'm also a Heavenly Court Immortal, but I don't have to worry about that.

"You should eat, you should drink, don't put everything in your heart, the catastrophe is coming, and we won't fall down with a word of peace!"

Qingsu almost laughed.

The turtle spirit muttered quietly, "However, there is one thing, I am hesitating to tell Ping'an. ”

"What?"

"My two senior sisters are discussing, whether to find a way to make Ping An biased towards our sect."

"Biased towards interception? It shouldn't be likely, you know his character. ”

"That's right," the turtle spirit sighed, "Heavenly Court, as the beneficiary of the Dao Immortal Tribulation, will inevitably be criticized by others if it ends up in person, and it is best to do nothing at this time...... However, the two senior sisters decided to use some extraordinary means. ”

"Extraordinary means?"

"It is rumored that the Emperor of Heaven is not a woman, but a good woman is powerful."

Turtle Lingqiao's face was slightly red, and she muttered in a low voice:

"Isn't it the female power that we teach the most? They want to choose a female fairy from the Great Luojin Wonderland to come out, and go to have an ambiguous relationship with Ping'an, just like the female lu. ”

Qingsu didn't know how to comment for a while.

This method does seem to have been conceived by the Sect Interception Immortal.

The turtle spirit whispered, "What do you think of this method?" ”

"Not good."

Qingsu gently knocked on the edge of the table with the end of the chopsticks, and the maid outside the door hurriedly stepped forward, removed the table in front of her, and put on a new batch.

She couldn't help but complain:

"You don't know what his true character is, and the claims of such a powerful woman are all nonsense.

After he made a grand wish, he had an entanglement with Zi Yao's body, he made a covenant with her at that time, and then he really became a husband and wife step by step.

"I heard that he was going to go out of the customs, do you know why the queen mother is so nervous? It's just that I'm afraid that he will come back and see that there are too many rules of heaven, and that she punishes the sinners too harshly on weekdays, and then misunderstands her tyrannical temperament.

But compared to the Queen Mother, he prefers Ning Ning, who is obedient to him.

"Acting with such a purpose will only disgust him."

The turtle spirit blinked: "What about you?" ”

There was a slight pause in the movement of the vegetarian pick-up, and then it continued naturally.

"I'm his first master, he's my disciple, that's enough, I don't want to serve him like a master."

The turtle spirit grinned, "Okay, then I'll send them a message...... Hey? ”

Qingsu asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"Yao Ji's ban has been triggered," the turtle spirit blinked, "She came out of the retreat East China Sea Immortal Island and is heading towards Dongzhou, shall I pick her up?" ”

"Where else can she go but here?"

Qingsu said softly:

"She's not young anymore, she doesn't have to continue to take care of her like she did back then, and how about trying new dishes."

"Okay."

At the same time, the Western Spirit Mountain.

In the small courtyard of the saint, a shallow smile crossed the corner of Zhun Ti's mouth, and a lotus flower floated out around his body, and the lotus flower quickly disappeared into invisibility.
