Phew-

Bang la la!!

In the palace, as a giant fireworks burst into the sky, the stars fell like rain, and the night sky turned into a sea of flowers.

Kyoto is followed by fireworks and the darkness of the night is lit up with enthusiasm.

Then there was the crackling sound of firecrackers, like a grand gunfight, and even if I covered my ears, the sound still penetrated my eardrums.

Inside the Fu Wang's Mansion.

Xiao Wang Ye and Yulan were holding incense sticks and setting off fireworks in the yard, and the explosion caused the two to scream and laugh.

The princess looked at it with a smile on the side, her eyes were extremely gentle.

But soon the little prince threw a firecracker into the flower bed she was carefully serving, and fried her favorite tulips to pieces.

Her gentleness broke the gong in a second, and she lifted her skirt and chased this unconscious son all over the yard.

The little prince originally wanted to ask the master for help, but when he saw the master smiling at him, he couldn't help but be horrified, and the footsteps rushing over forcibly stopped.

Then he ran to Yulan, shouted that Sister Yulan helped, and began to circle around Yulan, playing a game of eagle catching chickens with the princess.

Yu Xian sat on the steps, watching the three of them fight, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Compared to the sad chatter of the palace during the Chinese New Year last year, and the anxiety about the future, the palace has adapted to life in Kyoto.

People, always have to look forward.

Time is also the best medicine to cure everything.

This is his third year in the mundane realm and his fourth year in the mundane realm.

Yu Xian stretched out his hand, and a green light was like a small fish shuttling between his fingers, it was the blue blood sword that had completely transformed after he broke through.

Today's Blue Blood Sword is already a low-grade magic weapon that has obtained self-healing properties, rather than being like a tool embryo, which is easy to damage if you accidentally bump and bump it.

Even if a serious magic weapon is damaged after fighting, as long as it is not fundamentally damaged, as long as it is placed in the dantian afterwards, the magic weapon can slowly heal itself.

Of course, this self-healing time is relatively long.

However, for Yu Xian, the foundation building overhaul, the low-grade magic weapon is really shabby.

Not to mention low-grade magic weapons, even if they are high-grade magic weapons, the foundation building monks can't look down on them, only higher-level spiritual weapons are suitable for them.

But Yu Xian didn't dislike his blood sword at all.

He flipped over and took out a piece of gold essence, and the blue blood sword was like a cat that smelled fishy, and swallowed the gold essence with a swish.

After a while, there were bursts of gray sand floating down from the green light.

It was the impurity of the Blue Blood Sword after fusing with the golden essence.

As mentioned before, although the Blood Refining Magic Weapon has various shortcomings, there is also an advantage that cannot be replaced by ordinary magic weapons.

That was the growth characteristic of the Blood Refining Artifact.

As long as the owner of the magic weapon is willing to spend the cost to cultivate, theoretically, the blood refining magic weapon can grow with the master.

However, the cost of it was enough to refine several magic weapons of the same level, and it would also delay the cultivation of the master of the magic weapon.

That's why this method will be gradually eliminated and become the refining method of low-level cultivators.

"I fed the magic weapon with the foundation mana every day, and I began to let it devour the gold essence to enhance the essence of the magic weapon, at most half a year, the Blue Blood Sword can advance to the middle grade magic weapon."

Yu Xian estimated the strength of the Blue Blood Sword at the moment, and had a rough judgment in his heart.

If a Qi cultivator wants to promote his low-grade magic weapon to a medium-grade magic weapon, it is impossible to precipitate it without one or two decades of precipitation.

But he was a foundation-building monk.

This time will be drastically shortened.

In fact, apart from his wonder, it is impossible for a foundation building monk to be willing to use his own painstaking mana to cultivate a low-grade magic weapon.

According to Yu Xian's estimate, five years in the mortal world was enough for him to elevate the Blue Blood Sword to a high-grade magic weapon.

If the materials are sufficient, it is very possible to upgrade to the ultimate magic weapon.

"Xianggong, let's play together."

Magnolia smiled and ran to invite.

Yu Xian glanced at Gonggong Li, who was standing at the gate of the courtyard as a wooden man, with a resentful look in his eyes, shook his head and said:

"Forget it, you guys can play."

Well, just give him a face, don't irritate him.

It's not easy for the elderly to be big at night.

"Then I'm not going to play anymore."

Magnolia sat down beside Yu Xian obediently, resting her head on his shoulder and muttering softly.

"Xianggong, I always feel that everything is like a dream now, and it would be nice if every year in the future could be like now.

Am I being too greedy? ”

Yu Xian smiled and said, "You can be a little more greedy." ”

Yulan laughed embarrassedly, and suddenly said:

"I don't know how Sister Xiao Yi is? In the past, I was always worried that Sister Xiao Yi would snatch you away, but after she left, I was a little worried about her.

If she hadn't gone then, we'd be happier now. ”

Yu Xian was stunned, and looked sideways, the girl's face was a little innocent, and she was gently praying for the safety of her sisters in the distance.

Right now.

A firework explodes in the night sky.

The night sky becomes beautiful under the fireworks.

Yu Xian kissed Yulan lightly and said in her ear.

"Then let's wish her the best of luck together."

……

Kyoto after the year has pressed the accelerator button.

The peace of the past was briefly shattered by a piece of news.

Taking advantage of the lax garrison on Chinese New Year's Eve, the Guangnan rebels poured out 200,000 troops and forcibly crossed the Cangjiang River.

More than a year ago, after the rebels took Changning County, they were like a bamboo, and they took eight southern counties one after another.

Then the rebels were blocked by the danger of the Cangjiang River and had to fight with the imperial court.

Everyone thought that the rebels would reorganize their armaments and accumulate strength, so that they could be at least peaceful for a few years.

But he didn't expect the rebels to be so bold and dare to gamble their entire wealth with all their might.

If Cangbei County falls, the next dozen or so counties in the central part will be in no danger to defend, and the rebels will drive straight in, which can directly threaten the safety of Kyoto.

The news was rushed by 800 miles, and Kyoto was immediately in an uproar, it turned out that the war was so close to them.

Even in the leisure of the palace, he felt a trace of solemn atmosphere.

Front Chamber.

"Director Yu, our family can't sleep every night now, why did you say that the royal world for hundreds of years was defeated so quickly?

We've only had a few days of peace, alas......"

Gonggong Li's hair has turned gray at some point, and the whole person exudes an aging atmosphere.

Yu Xian knew that the direction of this war was never about the victory or defeat of the war.

No matter how powerful and invincible the rebels' blades may seem, as long as the old monster in the palace is willing to strike, the rebels will crumble in the blink of an eye.

However, the rebels have been on the rise for several years, and the Lin family monks have made frequent moves during this period, why did the Jiang family not react at all, and what were they delayed?

The resources of the Yue Kingdom are not a small amount for a family of immortal cultivators, how can they be easily given up.

After thinking about it, Yu Xian put this problem down.

No matter what calculations the two have, with his current strength, he is barely qualified to be a spectator.

And he didn't believe that the Jiang family would always be a turtle with a shrunken head.

"Director Yu, Director?"

Gonggong Li woke up the distracted Yu Xian.

"Oh, what's wrong?" Yu Xian looked at Gonggong Li.

Gonggong Li smiled bitterly: "Now that rumors are spreading in the city, how should our palace deal with it, you have to come out with a charter." ”

Although I don't want to admit it, the backbone of the palace is the little white face in the lace story in front of him.

This is also the reason why he is willing to pinch his nose to cover up for the princess and Yu Xian.

Yu Xian comforted: "Father-in-law, don't worry, the Yue Kingdom Dynasty has been in power for more than 400 years, and has not experienced any storms and waves.

And if even Kyoto is in danger, we have nowhere to go.

So how it was before and how it will be in the future.

But ......"

Yu Xian touched his chin and added, "Some preparations are still needed."

You have to trouble your father-in-law to take someone outside to buy food seeds, at least enough for the whole house for three years.

In addition, a few acres of vacant land in the palace will be vacated to grow vegetables, and even if there is any turmoil outside, it will not prevent us from closing the door and supporting ourselves. ”

"Okay."

Gonggong Li's face suddenly became a little more radiant.

"It's still Director Yu who is thoughtful, but do you want to recall some more guards, we dismissed most of the guards before, is the garrison of the palace a little insufficient now?"

Yu Xian waved his hand and said: "The palace is safe, it is enough for me to have one person, there are many people, but it is not good." ”

In the end, the Fuwang Mansion in Kyoto is not as good as the Fuwang Mansion, which originally covered an area of tens of thousands of acres in Changning County, and there are only a few dozen acres of land.

In the past, there were hundreds of guards, thousands of servants, and a worship courtyard, all of which felt that the palace was spacious.

Today's Fuwang Mansion has more than a dozen maids and servants who are sprinkling and sweeping, plus a small team to act as a façade guard.

Seeing that Yu Xian was so confident, Gonggong Li didn't ask any more questions and went down to prepare.

……

"Great joy, great joy!"

Gonggong Li rushed into the gate of the courtyard with an excited face, and saw the princess and Yu Xian hugging in the courtyard in broad daylight, and his voice suddenly stopped abruptly.

"Ahem, don't get me wrong, I'm teaching my mother to practice, so some intimate actions are inevitable."

Yu Xian withdrew the hand that was pressed on the princess's buttocks and explained solemnly.

"After all, the world is sinister now, Niangniang is a weak woman, learn some martial arts, and only then can she protect herself."

The conscience of heaven and earth, he is really teaching the princess to practice martial arts this time.

The princess has no martial arts foundation at all, so he naturally wants to touch his bones and correct the princess's posture.

There is some overstepping of the ......

He did it on purpose.

Hearing this, Gonggong Li squeezed out a smile in embarrassment.

"There is no misunderstanding in our family."

"It's good that my father-in-law didn't misunderstand, just now my father-in-law said that he was happy, why is he happy?"

Seeing that Gonggong Li was so sensible, Yu Xian nodded with satisfaction.

Only then did Gonggong Li remember what was going on and said:

"General Yan Chunqiu led 3,000 personal soldiers to gallop thousands of miles to aid Cangbei City, fought with the rebels in front of the battle, beheaded three generals of the rebels, and forced the rebels to retreat for 50 miles.

Our morale was greatly boosted, and Cangbei City was defended.

General Yan Lao is my Dayue military god, and in his early years, he led the army to quell a great rebellion in Guangnan, as well as the Miao rebellion, and also fought the border army of neighboring Chen.

With him this time, the rebels will never be arrogant again. ”

Obviously it was happy news, and Gonggong Li suddenly had a feeling of excitement at this time.

At the beginning, if someone was willing to rescue Changning City, the palace would not have left their hometowns, and they needed to rely on an outsider.

Even the princess ......

Gonggong Li was secretly aggrieved.

In order to convince himself, he even thought that the princess was compromising Yu Xian for the sake of the whole palace.

"Cangbei City is defended?"

Yu Xian's heart moved, and he smiled.

"Sure enough, it's good news."

"However, the rebels are not extinguished, we must not relax, and the few cellars that have been dug in the house still need to be filled with food."

If the imperial court really wants to make a move, it will never let a mortal general fight with the rebels, and it will definitely be a thunderous momentum.

But I won't hit Gonggong Li.

……

A month later.

Gonggong Li returned to the palace with a dejected face and talked about the news he heard outside.

"General Yan Lao was assassinated, and there were high-ranking people in the rebel army who attacked, and General Yan Lao and the two hundred guards failed to stop the assassination of the rebels.

What about our grandmasters?

Why is no one protecting General Yan! ”

The strength of the innate martial arts master is strong, if he wears heavy armor and leads an elite team, he can kill seven in and seven out of the ten thousand army.

Gonggong Li didn't know about the existence of the immortal cultivator, and only thought that it was the martial arts master in the rebel army who made a move.

"As soon as General Yan falls, our army has no backbone, and who can stop the rebels?"

Gonggong Li was very pessimistic.

Yu Xian silently set his eyes on the tall palace wall.

It seems that this old general did not receive the support of the imperial court, and he went into battle alone, wanting to defend the country against the enemy, but he died before he could leave the army.

In his opinion, the old general was able to hold off the rebels for a month, which was considered too cautious for the rebels.

Maybe it took a month to confirm that the Jiang family monk didn't make a move, and it took another night to kill the old general.

So, what is the Jiang family monk holding back?

Yu Xian became more and more curious.

But he quickly suppressed his curiosity.

Curiosity kills the cat, and his current pace of life is quite good, and he doesn't need to change.

"The imperial court has abundant savings and talents, and we must trust the imperial court."

Yu Xian said some words to comfort Gonggong Li.

He could see that Gonggong Li was probably mentally ill because of too much pressure.

"Father-in-law Li, these days have been hard, it's better to rest in the house for a few days."

"No need, our family is fine."

Another half a month.

Gonggong Li returned to the palace in despair, and muttered:

"Defeated, all defeated!"

Burst!

Gonggong Li looked up to the sky and spurted out a mouthful of blood, and fell on the spot.

……

"Alright."

In Father-in-law Li's bedroom, there was a faint smell of urine in the air.

Yu Xian's expression was calm, he withdrew his palm, and his mana instantly returned to calm.

His qi tricks are becoming more and more unfathomable.

"Niangniang doesn't need to worry, Gonggong Li is in a hurry, I have already used my luck to dredge the blood congestion in his heart, and let him rest in bed for a few more days, and it will be fine."

"Thank you for your hard work."

The princess stepped forward in distress, took out her handkerchief and wiped the non-existent sweat on Yu Xian's forehead.

"Hey, we can be regarded as leaving our hometown now, Gonggong Li is one of the few old people in the house, I don't help, who will help."

Yu Xian winked at the princess, held her hand and said:

"I didn't read Dr. Huang's medical book for nothing, and someone has already paid me."

"There's still someone else."

The princess's face was ashamed, but she didn't withdraw her hand.

"We are innocent, and we are not afraid of someone here. Today's homework is not done yet, and the mother can't slack off. ”

Yu Xian took the princess's hand, walked towards the door, suddenly stopped at the door, and said to the princess as if unintentionally:

"Gonggong Li is old, he can't work too hard in the future, and when he recovers, he will be accompanied by a little eunuch to serve him."

"It's all up to you."

Shortly after the two left.

Gonggong Li opened his eyes and felt the warm breath flowing in his body, dispelling the tiredness and sourness that had accumulated in him for days.

It was Director Yu who saved him.

Gonggong Li pondered for a moment, sighed, and said silently:

"Lord Wang, it's the old slave who is sorry for you."

As soon as the thought was relaxed, the pressure in his body suddenly dissipated, and his spirit was in good spirits for a while, as if he had come back to life.
