"Oh, Shangguan Yun is the younger brother of the queen mother, if you recommend him to be your guard, aren't you afraid that he will kill you at a critical time?" Li Daoyuan was stunned for a moment, his heart was turbulent, and his eyes stared at Li Leng quietly.

He did intend to let Shangguan Yun be Li Leng's deputy envoy, so that Shangguan Yun could monitor everything about Li Leng, and at the same time, he could also find out what the relationship between Li Leng and Prime Minister Zhou Wenbo was.

But no one in the court recommended Shangguan Yun, and after Prime Minister Zhou Wenbo and King Yu recommended Li Leng, they no longer recommended the deputy envoy and other personnel, which made Li Daoyuan extremely annoyed but had nothing to do.

However, Li Daoyuan never expected that Li Leng's favorite candidate for the deputy envoy would also be Shangguan Yun.

Li Leng said calmly: "Father, it is true that General Shangguan is the younger brother of the queen's mother, but he is also the ironclad guard of my Tang Dynasty, and he is loyal to his father. ”

"Hmm!" Li Daoyuan's frowning brows slowly relaxed, dispelling his suspicions about Li Leng.

"How could Leng Er form an alliance with the prime minister? King Yu is the spokesperson for the interests of the Zhou family. I'm really thinking too much. Li Daoyuan said secretly in his heart.

Li Leng observed his words and looks, saw Li Daoyuan's eyebrows stretched, and knew that his last move had an effect, and he was secretly happy in his heart, and continued: "Today, my father issued a holy decree to make his son an envoy of the Tang Dynasty, and the son of the emperor gave a note to his father as a messenger of the Tang Dynasty, and asked his father to send General Shangguan Yun as a deputy envoy to envoy the Han Dynasty with his son. ”

"Oh, is it? Gao Shui, is there such an excerpt?" Li Daoyuan asked Gao Shui at the door.

Gao Shui said: "Your Majesty, there is such an excerpt, His Royal Highness the Ten Princes will send it to the celebrant early in the morning and hand it over to the slave maid." It was the slave who forgot about it and didn't give it to His Majesty for a while. ”

"Bastard minion, dare to forget such an important fold, the older you get, the more confused you become!" Li Daoyuan scolded loudly.

Gao Shui hurriedly knelt on the ground and said in a panic: "It's the slave's fault, please punish Your Majesty." ”

"Hmph, next time, you don't have to be the chief of ceremonies, feed the horses to me. Li Daoyuan waved his hand, let Gao Shui go down, don't stand at the door, and then, he smiled and said to Li Leng, "Leng Er is loyal to the country, and I am very happy." Okay, everything will be done according to what Leng Er said. ”

Li Leng said: "Thank you, father." ”

"Okay, I won't disturb your mother and son reunion. Li Daoyuan got up, walked to the door, and suddenly turned around and said, "Leng'er, my father is waiting for you in the capital to return triumphantly." On the day you returned, you were the county king of my Tang Dynasty. ”

"Thank you father, my son will never let my father down. Li Leng respectfully bowed and watched Li Daoyuan leave.

Gao Shui saluted Li Leng from afar, and then led the ironclad guards to leave with Li Daoyuan.

As soon as Li Daoyuan left, Li Leng relaxed and sat on the chair, panting heavily, and the cold sweat on his forehead kept sliding down.

This dead end was brought back to life by him.

"Leng'er, what's wrong with you?" Concubine Yu looked back and saw Li Leng's appearance, and asked in confusion.

Li Leng shook his head, relieved himself, and said with a smile: "Mother, I'm happy to be like this, it's okay." ”

He didn't want Concubine Yu to know about these things, so as not to worry about Concubine Yu.

From this incident, Li Leng saw how suspicious Li Daoyuan was and how much he valued the supreme imperial power.

To a certain extent, cultivating immortals and seeking immortality requires monks to abandon the desires in their hearts, which not only include the desire for a woman's body, but also the fanatical pursuit of power, money, and status.

If a monk puts too much time and energy into the pursuit of supreme power, his mind cannot be calm, and his mind cannot be focused, although he can forcibly break through the realm with the cultivation resources obtained by power, he will not be able to comprehend the mysteries of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, and it will be difficult for him to make great progress in his cultivation after reaching a certain realm.

Li Daoyuan has been cultivating for a hundred years, and his cultivation has not been able to break through to the Tribulation Realm for a long time, because he has too many thoughts in power, which causes his heart to be unable to calm down and unable to comprehend the mysteries of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, so his realm will stagnate.

But Li Leng naturally wouldn't tell Li Daoyuan about this truth.

Being in the Emperor's House was also a great test and help for his cultivation. Cultivation is not to enter the Scattered Immortal Realm, and cultivation resources are of great importance to him. If he wanted to get more cultivation resources, he had to control the supreme imperial power of the Tang Dynasty.

Before his strength and power reach the point of doing whatever he wants, he must take every step of the way, carefully plan, and must not let his own temperament mess around.

After Li Leng had lunch with Concubine Yu, he decided to go to Sword Shrine Mountain to cultivate.

There were still ten days to go, and he wanted to use the supreme sword path refining realm of Sword Shrine Mountain to break through to the fourth level of the qi refining realm.

......

Jianzun Mountain is known as the first mountain in the Tang Dynasty.

The mountain is not high, only 999 meters high.

But every meter of Sword Shrine Mountain buried a powerful sword cultivator. Every meter is engraved with the strongest sword path that every sword cultivator has comprehended, and the strongest sword is buried.

The Tang Dynasty is strong and timely, and the sword cultivation is as much as the sand of the Ganges. Every ten years, Datang will hold a sword cultivation conference, any sword cultivator in the world can participate, and select the top ten sword cultivators, and engrave their names and the mysteries of kendo they have comprehended on Sword Mound Mountain.

For thousands of years, a total of 10,000 powerful sword cultivators have been buried in Sword Shrine Mountain. Therefore, Sword Tomb Mountain is also called Wanjian Mountain.

The entrance to Sword Tomb Mountain is on the north side of Chang'an City, which is also the only passage connecting the palace with Chang'an City, guarded by tens of thousands of forbidden soldiers and 100 ironclad guards.

Unless there is an identity jade card, no one can enter the Sword Shrine Mountain to cultivate.

Li Leng handed over the identity jade plate, and after the general in charge of guarding it checked that it was correct, he put Li Leng's identity jade plate on the formation map.

This array is closely connected to Sword Shrine Mountain, and the identity jade plate is placed on the formation map, so you can clearly see where this person is in Sword Shrine Mountain, and if he encounters danger, the master who is responsible for guarding Sword Shrine Mountain will rescue him from the mountain.

As soon as Li Leng walked to the foot of the Sword Shrine Mountain, he suddenly felt bursts of powerful sword qi rushing towards him, and the powerful coercion that looked at the world almost made people breathless.

Li Leng looked calm, raised his head slightly, and saw two vigorous and powerful characters engraved on the cliff wall on the side of the mountain: "Kendo".

Each word is fourteen meters long, deep into the stone wall, and contains a powerful sword intent.

It seems to be a supreme kendo powerhouse, using a sword to carve the words on the stone wall.

"Taking the way of the sword as his own way, breaking through the shackles of the mortal body, it seems that the strength of this sword cultivation has reached the three grades of scattered immortals, and the way of the sword has the shadow of its own avenue, not bad!" Just at a glance, Li Leng could see the realm cultivation of the person who engraved the word "sword".
