It's finally time to come.

Really counted, more than two months have passed since the first batch of Dao soldiers in the Immortal Court, and it is reasonable that the second batch of Dao soldiers should have appeared.

Li Ye didn't think that he would be delayed for so long because of the seal, he actually wanted to take the demon clan monks back to the mortal world before the second batch of Dao soldiers went to the lower realm, but life was always unsatisfactory, and Li Ye didn't have too much emotion at the moment.

"How many Dao soldiers are there in the second batch, and have they already been dispatched?" asked Li Ye.

Peng Demon King said: "The number of people is three thousand, and the strength is about the same as before, and now they are gathered in Bianzhou City, I don't know if they will be dispatched immediately." But...... The secret realm of the Heavenly Dao also appeared in Bianzhou, and Zhu Wen took the immortals in, and before Zhu Wen came out, the Xuanwu Army would not have a major military operation. ”

Peng Demon King's judgment Li Ye basically agreed.

However, the three thousand Dao soldiers were enough to sweep through the mortal world, and Li Ye couldn't be sure if they would really wait for Zhu Wen to come out, "Give Song Jiao an order to let the Tsing Yi Yamen pay close attention to the movements in Bianzhou." I'll get out of this secret place as soon as possible. ”

What Li Ye can do now is to come out of the Heavenly Dao Secret Realm earlier than Zhu Wen, and then lift the sealing talisman seal to determine the overall situation of the Demon Clan, and then he can take the Demon Clan monks back to resist the Dao soldiers.

The Peng Demon King pondered for a moment and said, "Don't worry, I will inform the other demon kings and send a team of monks to Pinglu first to help your people stabilize the overall situation." In the event that an army attacks Pinglu, they will also be able to keep Pinglu alive. ”

"That's for the best. ”

Li Ye nodded, and then his eyes showed a bit of strangeness, "But the war of the demon clan is so chaotic, you can't even repel the fierce beasts, can you still divide your troops and go to the mortal world?" According to what you said earlier, the demon clan monks are trapped in several big cities, and it is impossible not to be stopped by the immortals if they want to rush to Lingyundu through the wilderness. Even if you can finally go to the mortal world, the loss on the way will be great. ”

Peng Demon King smiled: "Fortunately, the strength of the Dao soldiers is not too strong, and sending three thousand True Human Realm Demon Clan monks to the mortal world can almost deal with it." Although the loss on the road will be great, we will not lose our vitality in the end. Now that the demon clan and you are already grasshoppers in the same boat, you can rest assured, as long as the demon clan is not destroyed, we will not let you lose your mortal inheritance!"

When the last sentence was spoken, the voice of the Peng Demon King was extremely serious and solemn.

Li Ye felt the will of the Peng Demon King, which was the other party's promise.

Speaking of which, the Peng Demon King was the first to support Li Ye, and Yoda Xiao was the first demon to go to the mortal world. In this way, the Peng Demon King is unwilling to be oppressed by the Immortal Court, and his mind to change the status quo is also the firmest.

Put Li Ye here, he is the most solid kind of ally.

"Thank you. Li Ye said seriously.

He didn't stay much at the beach either.

The strange thing is that when he wanted to cross the sea to the island, a small boat appeared out of thin air on the originally empty sea, and it seemed to come to Li Ye slowly.

Since there was a boat to pick him up, Li Ye was not polite and stepped on the boat safely. The Heavenly Dao Secret Realm has always been strange, and Li Ye can't spy on its origin, so he doesn't bother to worry about the deception of this ship, and he can't wait by the sea.

The boat didn't need Li Ye to drive, so it drove quickly to Xiongcheng on the island, and soon came to the island ferry, and there were no accidents during the period.

Li Ye left the boat and walked along the ferry, and a wide avenue was at his feet. At the foot of the mountain was a large peach blossom forest, and he walked into it while being on guard.

It turned out that Li Ye's vigilance was completely superfluous, and when he walked through the peach forest and walked up the stone steps of the mountain, he was not attacked at all.

The scenery here is picturesque from afar, after really being in it, you can feel its beauty, the stream on the side of the road is murmuring, meandering and falling from the mountains, there are swimming fish in many pools, there are many kinds of flowers and plants on the edge of the forest, the fallen flowers are colorful, the pavilions and pavilions are hidden in it, and it is poetic and elegant.

It's a pity that there is no one in the mountains, so there is less life.

Unconsciously, Li Ye came to the Xiongcheng built around the top of the mountain.

The city walls are tall and majestic, no less than twenty zhang, all of them are white jade structures, and they are densely covered with rune formations. The gate is carved with a fierce beast pattern, which is fierce and mighty, and people who are a little timid standing in front of the door can't help but tremble.

The city gate slowly opened in front of Li Ye, revealing a wide and tidy street, with houses lined up on both sides, Li Ye walked along the street, and soon came to a city within a city.

Li Ye is very familiar with the structure of the small city, that is, the regulation of the palace, but it is undoubtedly more magnificent than the palace in Chang'an.

The gate of the imperial city also slowly opened after Li Ye's arrival.

Li Ye walked into it again.

He came all the way to the front of the Taiji Temple.

Taiji Hall is the main hall of the imperial palace, needless to say that Li Ye also knows that this is the place where the emperor held a court meeting.

Walking down the jade steps into the main hall, it was wide and empty, and even if no one was sitting in the back, the imperial throne in front of it gave people a great sense of majesty and oppression. Li Ye came to the front of the imperial case, stretched out his hand to touch the desk, and involuntarily walked behind the desk.

Then he sat facing south and sat on the throne.

All of a sudden, everything came alive, even the air was filled with temperature, and the sunlight spilled into the ground and glittered on the floor.

The originally empty hall was instantly filled with ministers dressed in scarlet and purple clothes, and the capable ministers and strong generals under Li Ye were among them, Li Zhen, Cui Keli, Liu Dazheng, and Shangguan Chengcheng were among them, and they were still in the leading position. They looked at Li Ye, their eyes full of awe and eagerness.

Outside the Taiji Palace, the eunuchs were waiting, and the palace wall of the imperial city was like a forest, and Li Ye even heard the noise in the city, with the sound of cars and horses, the sound of selling and talking. His gaze passed through the palace walls, and he seemed to see the bustling streets and alleys, in which people were walking side by side, each busy with their own work.

Li Zhen bowed to Li Ye: "Your Majesty, and today it has been decided, the four seas are peaceful, the people in the country live and work in peace and contentment, praise Your Majesty's benevolence, and the foreign states bow down to the ministers, and send envoys to congratulate, this is the prosperity of my Tang Dynasty that has not been seen in a hundred years, and this is all the credit of Your Majesty!"

When the ministers heard this, they echoed it, and then the ministers bowed down and shouted long live.

A smile gradually appeared on the corner of Li Ye's mouth, Guotai and Min'an, isn't this exactly what he expected, he struggled all his life for this true dragon feat. So he stood up and raised his hands lightly: "Zhongqing is flat." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"The minister has a book to play. Cui Keli bowed out and said in a tone of excitement and pride: "Your Majesty, the Uighur Khan has arrived in Chang'an a few days ago, and he personally presented a detailed list to show that he respects the Tang Dynasty from now on. At this point, the entire territory of the Western Regions has been recovered, and the ministers please rebuild the four towns of the Western Regions to show the power of my Tang Dynasty!"

Zhongshu Ling Cui Keli, Li Ye naturally appeared in his mind the other party's official position, he smiled, and waved his big hand: "Quasi!"

"The minister has a book to play. After Cui Keli retreated, Shangguan Chengcheng got up and went out, "The forbidden army has been fighting in Tibet for half a year, and has now broken through its royal city and captured the king of Tibet. The officers and men of the whole army hated his unruly attitude, and uttered wild words, insulting my Tang Tianwei, please kill him, and hope that His Majesty will allow him to play. ”

Li Ye remembered all kinds of crimes in Tibet, and immediately said: "Quasi!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"The minister has a book to play. Li Zhen followed closely, "The Khitan has been returning to submission for many years, Yelu Abaoji died of illness a month ago, and his eldest son Yelu Bei asked to cut off the country name and set up a state in the royal city, please ask Your Majesty for permission." ”

"Accurate!"

......

Fifteenth.

Zhenjiang City is no longer in its heyday, and the high city walls have been destroyed. The houses in the outer city were also in ruins, and the bodies of countless fierce beasts and demons were filled with blood, and in many places there were still burning fires and black smoke rising.

Wave after wave of fierce beasts crossed the city walls, attacked the city in all directions, roaring from the ruins and rushing towards the monks of Zhenjiang City, who were forced to retreat to the important places in the city. At this point in the battle, more than half of the monks in Zhenjiang City have been killed or wounded, and many of those who are still fighting are wounded, so they can only defend fewer and fewer important places.

Because most of the demons and fierce beasts are below the strength of the real human realm, the current battles are carried out in the streets and courtyards. The fighting was extremely fierce, and the streets were filled with corpses. The demons have no way out, they can only fight to the death, Rao is so, and their territory is constantly shrinking.

Because the beasts are ferocious, they don't know what they are afraid of.

The demons are centered on the City Lord's Mansion and are distributed in concentric circles, and now the Great Monks such as the Monkey King and Zhao Bofu are facing the fierce beasts and immortals in the sky above the City Lord's Mansion.

finally repelled a wave of fierce beast attacks for a short time, and Zhao Bofu was also injured.

His eyes were fierce, he touched the blood stains on the corner of his mouth, and said to the Monkey King: "With those fierce beasts and fairy dogs that appeared at the beginning, it is impossible to force us to this point, but these days, there has been an endless stream of fierce beasts and fairy dogs coming to help, is it that there is only one big city in the entire territory?"

If there were only those fierce beasts and immortals who attacked the city at the beginning, not only would Zhenjiang City not fall into this situation, but it was also very likely to win the battle. However, because of the continuous addition of fierce beasts and immortals in the follow-up, the number has almost doubled, which is unexpected by Zhenjiang City.

Needless to say, every immortal who arrives can play a Xuanhuang Town Demon Talisman, which means the fall of a great monk of Zhenjiang City. When the number of immortals who arrived reached hundreds, Rao is Monkey King personally led the monks to ask for help, and the loss of the great monks of Zhenjiang City was still too great, so it was no wonder that they would now be attacked by fierce beasts into the city.

The Monkey King looked gloomy and gritted his teeth: "That's not it." However, among the several royal cities of the demon clan, Zhenjiang City is the closest to the Seven Holy Mountains. Ever since the aura of the Heavenly Dao was revealed in the Seven Holy Mountains, there have been fierce beasts and fairy dogs rushing over to help, and it is conceivable that they must have mobilized the forces to besiege other big cities, wanting to break through us first and kill the Seven Holy Mountains in one fell swoop!"

Zhao Bofu was shocked when he heard this, and when he thought about it, it was indeed the case.

He immediately said: "In other words, the fairy dog has changed its strategy, from comprehensively harming the demon clan's territory to concentrating on key breakthroughs. This is a good thing for the demons in other places, but it is a great disaster for us. ”

The Monkey King snorted coldly and said, "It is not so easy for the fairy dog to capture my royal city, I will fight them to the death in this battle!"

As he spoke, he waved his hand to summon a confidant and commanded in a low voice: "You go to see the Tang County Lord, don't let her miss a point." If the war is unfavorable, I will create an opportunity for you to break through, and you will escort her to the Seven Holy Mountains!"

"Yes!"

......

The years pass like water, and three years have passed in a flash, and Li Ye has long been accustomed to his identity as the emperor of the world. He was busy with political affairs every day, consulting with ministers on good policies for governing the society, receiving foreign missions, and issuing various edicts to expand the territory......

Under his rule, the world entered an unprecedented era of peace and prosperity.

He also relied on the quality of his own traveler to improve the production tools of agriculture and handicrafts in the world, so that the productivity was greatly improved, and the world became richer and stronger. He also assembled a huge fleet to plunder all kinds of wealth overseas and establish colonies, so that the power of the Tang Dynasty spread all over the world.

On this day, Li Ye ended the whole day of the team and came to the back garden to rest.

Not long after he sat down in Xiaoxuan, the concubines rushed over under the leadership of the queen, and everyone had a happy smile on their faces.

Li Ye took them out of the back garden, boarded the dragon boat to play in Taichi, some concubines who were proficient in poetry chanted poems under Li Ye's instructions, and the concubines who were good at music began to play the piano and dance.

At ten o'clock in the evening, on the stage by the Taichi Lake, a court band began to play songs. , the dragon boat hovered in the Taichi Lake, which was convenient for Li Ye and the concubines to enjoy the evaluation.

"Do you still remember, when you and I were playing in the mud in King An's Mansion when you were a child, what was the most common sentence you said?" Li Ye sat on the small collapse and asked the queen dressed next to him. This queen is none other than Wu You.

The queen chuckled, "Of course I remember, those are three words." ”

"What three words?" asked Li Ye with interest.

The queen stared at Li Ye with autumn waves in her eyes: "Brother Ye." ”

Li Ye laughed and picked up his wine glass: "Come, queen, have a drink." ”

After drinking the wine, naturally there were concubines of a slightly lower grade who filled Li Ye. Li Ye took Wu You's hand and put it in the palm of his hand, stroked it carefully, and said with a distant sigh in his eyes: "After so many years, it's hard for the queen to remember the scene when she was a child, and nothing goes wrong in any detail." ”

The queen smiled lightly: "The days with Your Majesty will never be forgotten when you are old." ”

Li Ye smiled, and his tone suddenly became complicated: "It's a pity, but I've forgotten a lot." ”

"That's Your Majesty's busy government affairs, and you have to worry about the world's major affairs...... the queen didn't care at all, but comforted Li Ye thoughtfully. However, before she finished her words, she suddenly felt light, and she was pulled into Li Ye's arms.

The queen did not panic for a moment, but closed her eyes. She has encountered many situations like this, Li Ye often pulls her into her arms like this, and then kisses her in public.

But this time the queen was wrong.

Li Ye didn't kiss her.

Not only that, but the queen also felt a sharp pain in her chest.

She opened her eyes unexpectedly and painfully, and saw in disbelief that a small knife for peeling fruit had been inserted into her chest at some point, and it had not reached the hilt.
