Yingzhou.
Kyoto.
"Have you heard that General Tian Cong died at the hands of Di Kui!"
"Digui? That's not the minister's."
"Stop talking nonsense and leave quickly. If someone from the government hears it, you will be in trouble!"
"Hey, I really didn't expect that General Tiancong would be the Minister of Taizheng..."
"Gone, gone."
Within three days in Kyoto, rumors spread rapidly, all about the assassination of General Tian Cong.
And all the spearheads are pointed at Taizheng Minister Baichuan Xiuze.
General Tian Cong is not weak in strength, and with the protection of his personal guards, there are not many people in this world who can successfully assassinate General Tian Cong.
However, Dikui Muramasa is definitely one of them.
In addition, Shirakawa Hideze had previously taken the initiative to propose a duel in front of Emperor Zhenwu. This time's bet seemed premeditated.
Rumors spread quickly, and it was almost confirmed that Shirakawa Hideze sent the chief to kill General Tian Cong.
Three people become tigers, and what is false will become true.
For a time, the government and the public in Yingzhou were shocked.
Right Minister's Office.
Oda Ryuumasa handed over a scroll of the Holy Oracle and said, "Go and tell the Li family's legitimate son in your mansion that Emperor Zhenwu has agreed to his request."
"yes!"
Yagyu Shinichi accepted the order and left with the oracle.
Half an hour later.
Yagyu Mansion.
Li Ziye looked at the oracle brought back by Yagyu Shinichi with a strange smile on his face.
The Zhenwu Emperor really agreed.
This time, it was his turn to perform well.
"Master Li, please!"
Yagyu Shinichi looked at the young man in front of him and said seriously. At this moment, his expression was very sincere.
If you can win the battle in front of the imperial court, Lord Youfu will be able to obtain the military power of the Tian Cong Army. By then, Lord Youfu will be powerful enough to be on an equal footing with the Minister of Taizheng, and you will not have to be overpowered by Shirakawa Hideze in everything.
It has to be said that as a retainer of Oda Ryumasa, Yagyu Shinichi is absolutely loyal and puts the interests of the right minister first in everything.
A powerful master at the level of the Four Realms is willing to leave Yingzhou and become a big pirate, helping the right minister to rob property in order to win over the Yingzhou courtiers. Such loyalty is indeed rare.
"Don't worry, Yagyu-senpai, I will definitely do my best."
Li Ziye responded with a smile.
Try your best, of course you will try your best, otherwise, his trip to Yingzhou will be in vain.
He always keeps his word!
The next day.
Li Ziye and Yagyu Shengzhen got on the carriage together and rushed towards Yingzhou Palace.
Behind them, there were carriages one after another, filled with materials for formation.
It is vast and spectacular.
In the palace, in front of the royal competition arena, Li Ziye got off the carriage and started to prepare.
On the carriage behind, the servants of the Yagyu Mansion moved down the things they had prepared in advance.
Stones, wooden piles, bamboos, everything.
All around, the Forbidden Army was guarding, looking at the strange situation ahead, they became more and more alert.
"Dang, Dang, Dang!"
Under the morning sun, Li Ziye started to get busy, first smashing wooden stakes into the martial arts arena according to the orientation of Qimen and Five Elements.
Then, there were big rocks one after another, with the same strange layout.
Then, there is bamboo.
Outside the martial arts arena, Shinichi Yagyu looked at the busy young man in front of him, his eyes full of concentration.
Although he doesn't understand formations, he also knows that when his strength reaches the level of Ren Kui and Di Kui, the impact that formations can have is already very small.
Unless this legitimate son of the Li family can really lay out that kind of formation that is comparable to the Jedi in the world.
However, with these stones and wooden piles, it is obviously impossible.
With everyone watching, Li Ziye worked all day long from early morning to midday to sunset, and was so tired that he was sweating profusely.
The palace in front of the emperor was completely changed beyond recognition.
Under the setting sun, Li Ziye straightened up his sore waist and grimaced in pain.
This work is really not done by humans.
If it wasn't for the purpose of killing these grandsons, why would he suffer this crime.
"Master Li, it's time to leave the palace."
Outside the martial arts arena, Shinichi Yagyu noticed that it was late and reminded him.
"good."
Li Ziye responded casually, turned around and glanced at the position of Emperor Zhenwu in front of him, a dangerous light flashed in his eyes.
This distance is a little far!
Li Ziye held his chin and thought for a moment.
It seems that I need to continue to improve the drawings after I return.
You only have one chance, you can't fail.
As the sun set, the two of them left the palace and rushed back to Yagyu Mansion.
Sunset, moonrise.
In the room, Li Ziye looked at the drawings in front of him, writing and drawing and calculating.
Distance, angle, everything must be calculated clearly, because there is only one chance.
It's so difficult. If I had known that I would have listened carefully to the lectures in math class in my previous life, now it is better. I will miss the books when I use them.
How does this thing come about?
Li Ziye scratched his head and thought hard.
To put it bluntly, the art of Qimen is the evolution of mathematics. The two have similar approaches and approaches. However, the difficulty lies in how to integrate the things learned in the two eras.
As the night grew darker, dim lights danced in the room, and crackling sounds occasionally sounded, so clear in this silent night.
Li Zi spent the entire night calculating.
The next day.
At dawn, Li Ziye and Yagyu Shinichi got into the carriage again and headed to the palace.
This time, the carriage behind them contained many bronze plates.
In the battle arena in front of the emperor, Li Ziye fixed the bronze plates according to the directions calculated last night, looking at the position of the Zhenwu Emperor from time to time.
It is said that the Zhenwu Emperor of Yingzhou does not know how to use martial arts. With the blessing of the little monk, he will definitely succeed this time.
Sunset.
The two returned home again.
Then, Li Ziye continued to write and draw. On the rice paper, one formula after another and one auxiliary line after another made Li Gouzi's mentality almost explode.
The primary school teacher didn’t lie. He learned mathematics, physics and chemistry well and was not afraid of traveling all over the world. Why didn’t he pay attention to the lectures in his previous life?
No matter how many times I calculated, I never thought that I would still need these things when traveling across time and space.
But if you don’t study hard, you are not even qualified to travel through time!
Just when Li Ziye was worried about setting up the formation in front of the emperor.
Too government.
The spies reported all Li Ziye's actions over the past two days to Shirakawa Xiuze, and the atmosphere in the main hall gradually became solemn.
"strangeness."
Baichuan Xiuze frowned and said, "What on earth is this Li family's legitimate son doing?"
"It should be the Qimen Dunjia technique from the Central Plains."
Shirakawa Xiuning said solemnly, "It seems that this imperial battle will not be too simple."
"Renkui and Dikui are both major cultivators at the fifth realm level. How can their mere Qimen Dunjia technique be of any use?" Shirakawa Hideze said disapprovingly.
"Brother, please don't be careless. This is a competition in front of the emperor. Both the human leader and the earth leader must restrain themselves. The outcome is actually only a matter of subtlety."
Shirakawa Xiuning said seriously, "If this formation can really help Rengui gain the upper hand, it's hard to say whether he will win or lose this battle."
"Little sister, do you have any opinions?" Baichuan Xiuze asked seriously,
"The current situation between the government and the opposition and the attitude of Emperor Zhenwu are both unfavorable to my brother. Therefore, my brother must win this battle."
A cold look flashed in Baichuan Xiuning's eyes, and he said, "Judging from the current situation, the Li family's legitimate son is the only variable in this battle. As far as I can see, you can either take the Li family's legitimate son for your own use, or kill him directly." Let’s avoid future troubles!”
