Chapter 446: Half a Year Later
In Chang'an City, Li Si sat on the dragon chair very tiredly and looked at the folds in his hand, at this time, it had been a month since Zhou Ping was 'killed' by the Beast Emperor at the top of Chang'an, and during this time Li Si used his own means to suppress the influence of Zhou Ping.
For a whole month, Li Si didn't say that he didn't sleep endlessly, although Zhou Ping was his brother, but now Zhou Ping was almost dead after all, he had to think about the living, Zhou Ping had many people close to him who had strong strength or monstrous power, and he had to be cautious when dealing with these people.
"Chu Li and Chu Ci father and daughter returned to the south with Chen Bi'an Mu Ruqing, Zhang Hanzhong left the Ten Thousand Beasts City after receiving the news, according to the eyeliner, he probably went to the Qi country......"
Hearing the shadow say this, Li Si frowned, and asked in a deep voice, "Zhang Hanzhong went to the Qi country?
The shadow sighed and said slowly, "Zhang Hanzhong's father is named Zhang Han, and his real identity is the biological brother of the current lord of Qi State, that is to say, Zhang Han's original name is Long Han, and Zhang Hanzhong is also a descendant of the royal family of Qi State. ”
"The current lord of Qi is very old, and his two sons were killed by Zhou Ping on the battlefield with the south that year, this time Zhang Hanzhong, oh no, Long Hanzhong is now the only surviving successor of the royal family of Qi State, so this time he is likely to go to Qi State for the throne of Qi State......"
Li Si's brows became more and more furrowed, among Zhou Ping's brothers, Zhang Xiaoyue had the ultimate fire soul seed and was now the emperor of the Southern Kingdom......
However, now that the country of Qi is not stable, even if Zhang Hanzhong can really unify the country of Qi one day and ascend the throne and become the emperor, it will be a long time later, and it is not a matter of near worry, and now what worries him the most is actually Zhou Ping's other two brothers.
Mu Ru Changhai succeeded to the throne of the southern kingdom after making great efforts, the national strength of the southern country has made a qualitative leap in the past few years, and there is a faint tendency to become the head of the six major subordinate countries, such a country is almost out of the control of the Tang Dynasty, if it were not for the Tang Dynasty There are strong people who break through the realm and suppress them faintly, Li Si will definitely not be able to stabilize the situation so easily.
As for the reason why Li Si was jealous of Zhang Xiaoyue, it is easier to understand, when he was fighting side by side with Zhang Xiaoyue, Li Si found that Zhang Xiaoyue showed super cultivation talent and powerful combat skills, Zhang Xiaoyue, who has the soul of chasing the moon, was born to be the king in the dark night, and his feelings for Zhou Ping are also the deepest among several brothers, if he learns the real cause of Zhou Ping's death, he will never give up.
Being targeted by such a super strong man, how could Li Si not sleep and eat?
The most important thing is that now Li Si can't find any traces of Zhang Xiaoyue at all, even if a strong person who breaks through the realm can't find any clues from the Wuyin Mountain where he once lived, a mortal enemy hidden in the dark who doesn't know when he will knife himself, a person who is not afraid of life and death has a blood feud with him, which is the biggest reason why Li Si is afraid of Zhang Xiaoyue.
"Continue to track down Zhang Xiaoyue, focus on the movements of the southern country, Mu Ru Changhai has to notify me immediately if there is any trouble, understand?"
The shadow bowed slightly, raised his head to look at Zhang Xiaoyue, and asked softly, "I heard that Zhang Xiaoyue has a wife and children in Wuyin Mountain, maybe we can start from this aspect, first go to track down his wife and children, and then slowly find him." ”
Li Si's eyes trembled, thinking that he and Zhang Xiaoyue were also brothers who fought together on the battlefield back then, and now they are about to go to the opposite side, which is really embarrassing......
"Go ahead and find Zhang Xiaoyue at all costs!"
Zhou Ping's killing in Chang'an City is constantly fermenting in Chang'an City, before Chu Li's momentum, the people of the entire Tang Dynasty have regarded Zhou Ping as a hero of the human race, but now someone tells them that your hero did not die on the battlefield, but died in your national capital, and was hunted and killed by his own people, what will the people think?
Li Si is not a fool, if the matter is allowed to ferment like this, the Tang Dynasty and even the people of the entire human race will have to turn away from him, after discussing with several strong people who break through the realm, Li Si finally came up with a solution, although this method made him suffer a lot in his heart, but in order to save the hearts of the people, he had no choice......
Two months after the incident at the top of Chang'an, Li Si was assassinated on Yongming Street in Chang'an City, the assassin was dressed in a pitch-black suit, and all the guards around Li Si were killed with a broken arm and a knife.
A week after the assassination, a killer organization was secretly established, no one has the name of this organization, and no one knows how many people and how many strong people there are in this organization, they have only one purpose, to get rid of Li Si and redraw this Terran dynasty that is about to collapse!
In the past six months, the organization organized a total of seven assassinations against Li Si, the most recent of which was only five inches from Li Si's head! Li Si was furious and began to frantically hunt down and hunt down these assassins, although it was effective, but the one-armed man led by him never showed any clues, he did not appear, even the strong people who broke through the realm could not trace him......
In the capital of Qi State, the white-haired Emperor of Qi looked at the young man covered in blood in front of him with a smile, and said with a slight bow, "Your father and I are not as good as you......"
"You know what I want!" Zhang Hanzhong, covered in blood, walked to the dragon chair, blood slowly flowing down his fingertips, staining the white carpet under his feet scarlet.
"I've passed the trial, and it's time for you to fulfill your promise!" Zhang Hanzhong said hoarsely.
The Emperor of Qi smiled, got up and simply tidied up Zhang Hanzhong's collar, nodded and said, "Go, as long as you have the ability to solve the current Qi State, then you will be the lord of Qi in the future." ”
Zhang Hanzhong grabbed the hand of the Emperor of Qi and said word by word, "A word is a certainty!"
"Of course, it's a deal!"
In the south, Chu left home.
"Chu Ci, go to the market today, do you want to go out with your father to have a look?" Chu Li asked with a smile.
Chu Ci sat alone on the top of the mountain, looking at the direction of Chang'an City with a dull gaze, Chu Ci had thought about ending his life countless times in the past six months, but thinking of his parents who were still alive, she dispelled this thought, every time at this time she would remember what Zhou Ping once said, no one is born to live for others, everyone should have their own life.
At this time, Chu Ci had only one thought in her heart, and she would accompany Zhou Ping after her parents were a hundred years old, which was her filial piety.
Staring at Chu Ci's pale face, Chu Ci was like a knife, in fact, she, like Chu Ci, was like a knife every day after Zhou Ping's death, but Chu Ci was already so painful now, he, the father, must be strong, and someone must stand up for this family!
Chu Ci's mother slowly climbed to the mountain, Chu Ci turned around and saw his mother, and immediately walked over to help her, Chu Ci's mother is just an ordinary person, and now she is old, the news of Zhou Ping's death has hit her hard, and now climbing such a high peak is probably already exhausted.
"Mother, why did you come up!" Chu Ci held his mother's hand with concern, and a trace of anger reappeared in his eyes.
"If I don't come up again, I'm afraid you're going to jump off here!" The mother patted the back of Chu Ci's hand with some reproach and some distress, Chu Ci smiled bitterly, shook her head and replied, "No, mother, I've figured it out, and I won't do stupid things anymore." ”
Mother reached out and gently stroked the scar on Chu Ci's neck, Chu Ci shrunk his neck, and Chu Li on the side sighed slightly, they used to be a happy family of four, but now they are in tatters......
Zhou Ping, Zhou Ping, did I do something wrong? If I hadn't been supporting you on the battlefield, not letting you follow the path I set, and not letting you be so sharp, maybe you wouldn't have been targeted by the Beast Emperor, and you wouldn't have been feared by Li Si and ended up so miserable.
After Zhou Ping's death, Chu Li has been living in deep self-blame and guilt, he feels that Zhou Ping's death is all because of his own assertions, all because he wants to see Zhou Ping succeed too much.
"I know that Ping'er's death has hit you hard, I'm just a mortal, I don't know what the world of you immortal cultivators is like, but I actually know everything about Ping'er. The mother stretched out her hand and held the hands of Chu Li and Chu Ci at the same time, "He is a hero, whether we live or die, we should be proud and proud of him." ”
"Do you remember? Ping'er once said that in an era, in a war, someone must always stand in the most dangerous position, just standing is enough, Ping'er stands in that position, this is his long-cherished wish, and it is his life's pursuit!"
Chu Li turned his back, his lips moved, and two lines of hot tears flowed out.
"Actually, it should be me who stood in that position......"
Nankoku, Kyoto Castle.
"Dad, during this time, Chang'an City has sent more spies to Kyoto, what do you think?"
The person who spoke was the current emperor of the southern kingdom Mu Ru Changhai, after learning what Zhou Ping had experienced in Chang'an City, he did not hesitate to lead the southern kingdom away from the Tang Dynasty, and now the southern kingdom is strong and has become an independent country, Li Si naturally will not sit idly by and ignore what he did, but now the Tang Dynasty has just experienced a series of wars, and the national strength is not as good as before, if the army is now sent to attack the southern kingdom, it will not only attract the anger of the heavens and people, but also make Li Si's few remaining people's hearts completely exhausted, you know, this kind of internal war of the human race is not like resisting the beast clan will get everyone's support, this battle Li Si can't afford to fight!
It is precisely because of these weaknesses of Li Si that Mu Ru Changhai dared to break away from the Tang Dynasty so decisively, and now the two sides seem to be calm on the surface, but in fact both sides are engaged in a covert information war, for example, today, Mu Ru Changhai received several more reports, and a group of spies newly dispatched by Chang'an City have arrived in Kyoto City.
"There's no rush. Mu Ruqing said with a calm expression, "Now that both sides haven't torn their faces, there is no need to be in such a hurry to move them, take a good look at these spies first, and find out as much as possible about them, these things can become Li Si's eyeliner, but they may also be used by us." ”
Mu Ru Changhai nodded slowly, the father and son were silent for a while, and Mu Ru Changhai asked in a deep voice, "Hasn't Mr. Chen been out of the customs yet?"
When it came to Chen Bi'an, Mu Ruqing's expression froze for a moment, he shook his head helplessly and said, "Chen Bi'an's retreat this time is to find an opportunity to break through the realm, you also know his temper, this time Zhou Ping's incident hit him too hard, my brother always told me that he had nothing to brag about in the next life, so he was such an apprentice to fight for him." ”
He poured too much effort into Zhou Ping, the relationship between their master and apprentice is almost no different from the relationship between father and son, as long as Zhou Ping's hatred is not avenged for a day, the obsession in his heart will not be eliminated for a day. ”
"Zhou Ping's ...... enemy," Mu Ru Changhai's face gradually turned cold, "If Zhou Ping was captured and killed by the Beast Emperor alone, it would be fine, but Li Si actually let the Realm Breaking Powerhouse of the human race besiege him! On that day, all the people who participated in the siege of Zhou Ping in Chang'an City were the murderers of Zhou Ping!"
"Dad, don't worry, I won't be impulsive, although the vitality of the Tang Dynasty is greatly damaged, but the tiger is still there, and they still have a strong realm breaking powerhouse, I am not stupid enough to fight them!"
"I will use my own way, little by little, to get justice for my dead brother!"
At this time, half a year has passed since the incident at the top of Chang'an, time is the best medicine to heal all scars, the Tang Dynasty has gradually restored its former tranquility, and the name Zhou Ping has gradually become a taboo word, and no one mentions it anymore.
In the past six months, Zhou Ping has been living in the wooden house of the Beast Emperor of the Ten Thousand Beast Forest, although he can't get out of the Ten Thousand Beast Forest, but he still improves his ability through continuous practice, and Qingtian has become Zhou Ping's best sparring partner.
Optimus's defense is so strong that Zhou Ping wants to hit the wall, even if Optimus stands in front of him and doesn't use his Xuan Qi to resist his attack, it will be difficult for him to break through Optimus's skin, but it is precisely because of this quality of Optimus that Zhou Ping can do his best in front of him, even if he uses his strongest killer move, he doesn't have to scruple.
After half a year of tempering, Zhou Ping finally completely eliminated the impact of breaking through the three realms in a row, and completely mastered the power in his hands, there are three super immortal cultivators in the world, Li Qixian's strength Zhou Ping is not easy to estimate because he has not fought before, but Song Wenyan is definitely not Zhou Ping's opponent now, Song Wenyan's most powerful killing move is his heavenly eyes, but Zhou Ping, who has completely mastered his own strength, is now fully sure that he can break his move when he encounters Song Wenyan again!
"Young master, your strength has improved again during this time......" Qingtian smiled and dispersed his protective Xuanqi, at the beginning of the battle between the two, Qingtian could beat Zhou Ping even if he didn't need Xuanqi's protective body, but as Zhou Ping's mastery of his own strength and Taoism continued to become proficient, Qingtian also had to pay attention to Zhou Ping's attack.
After easily dodging Zhou Ping's eight-phase technique, Qingtian shouted, "Young Master, be careful!"
Before Zhou Ping could react, Qingtian came behind Zhou Ping in an instant, and he used a simple lock trick on Zhou Ping from behind to suppress Zhou Ping from the air.
Although Qingtian only used a simple physical technique, Zhou Ping felt as if he was being crushed by a mountain, and no matter how much he used the Xuan Qi technique, he couldn't break free.
Zhou Ping, who was lying on the ground, finally gave up after struggling a few times, he gently patted Qingtian's thick arm, and Qingtian immediately let go of his hand and stood up and smiled at Zhou Ping.
"Young master, are you alright?"
Zhou Ping kept panting and waved his hand weakly at Qingtian.
