Xiao Yuande was the emperor of Dachu. The scroll of clouds hanging in the royal ancestral hall made Xiao Yuande know more than others.
And the more he knew, the more he feared this world.
"The Night Ghost is born, and the Lingkui tribe will make a comeback in the near future. You must be prepared."
The sound came from nowhere and reached Xiao Yuande's ears along the night wind.
Xiao Yuande was still the only figure on the observatory.
It’s extremely cold at high places.
The night wind blew up his clothes.
The last time Xiao Yuande heard this voice was when he entered the royal ancestral hall for the first time.
At that time, he had just ascended the throne and had just calmed down the bloody storm in Da Chu.
It was also from that time that he learned the secrets hidden deep in this world.
Xiao Yuande said: "If the prophecy made a thousand years ago comes true, the Lingkui tribe will make a comeback, and Yegui will be the vanguard. But what I find strange is that the first thing Yegui will do when he is born a thousand years later is to attack and kill Jing. Yao."
Xiao Yuande leaned on the railing and looked at the endless stars above his head, and in front of him were thousands of lights in Kyoto.
The way he talks to himself makes people feel a little weird and spooky, as if Xiao Yuande is talking to a ghost.
"This matter is indeed strange. Xiao Jingyao is the prince, but killing Xiao Jingyao will have no impact on the entire human world. Ye Gui is stupid and has low intelligence, but Ling Kui behind the scenes is by no means a random person. There must be something hidden in this."
"I have sent people to investigate this matter. The attack on Jing Yao and the sneak attack on Beijing Sect. These two things are so confusing that it is difficult to figure out the purpose of these dirty things."
The void voice was silent for a moment, and then said: "If you need me, you can speak at any time."
Xiao Yuande shook his head, with some worries flashing in his eyes, and said: "There is no rush yet. Xiang Ji went to Gutian Tower, and his army sent soldiers to Nanzhou Prefecture. When he comes out of Gutian Tower, he may have to leave. Nanzhou Prefecture raised troops and marched towards Kyoto."
Xiao Yuande's worry has always been Xiang Ji. Ever since Xiang Ji came back from the north nineteen years ago and took that man's broken sword with him, Xiang Ji has become Xiao Yuande's friend and foe.
Civil servants and military generals stand in separate courts.
Most of the generals were under the command of Xiang Ji, and most of Chu's soldiers and horses were under the command of the King of Chu.
This is a threat, a threat to the Chu Dynasty.
As an emperor, Xiao Yuande had many more things on his mind.
This world seems to be peaceful with singing and dancing, but in fact, there are turbulent undercurrents and it has never been calm. Even without the threat of night ghosts, the Chu Dynasty still faced other threats.
Under the imperial power, people like Xiang Ji who dominate the world's military forces are not allowed to exist.
Even if there is no rebellious intention, it should not exist.
The void voice did not speak again. Long, long ago, he was involved in the mundane things of this world. Only the night ghosts who had been hiding for thousands of years and the Lingkui tribe who had made a comeback could arouse his interest.
Xiao Yuande also never counted on the other party. In the past ten years, Xiang Ji had been working hard in Nanzhou Mansion, but Xiao Yuande, who was in the palace, was also fully prepared.
Once Xiang Ji threatens the Chu Dynasty, Xiao Yuande will never be merciful.
But Xiao Yuande knew that now he still owed an opportunity and a murderous knife.
Xiao Yuande looked to the north and murmured: "That boy should be back soon."
…
…
In the early morning, a group of people marched towards Cangshan Mountain.
Yu Zhi had been in the north for two or three months, and it was time to return to Kyoto.
Now he has to do the last thing, which is to seek justice for Guo Shuer.
If the Chu Dynasty does not want justice, he will want it!
He will kill those whom Xiao Jingyao dare not kill!
Yu Zhi glanced at Li Haomiao beside him and felt more confident.
Yu Zhi, Ye Qinghuan, Li Haomiao, and Wuhua were riding horses, while Wei Wuji was driving a carriage, with two daughters, Li Wantong and Guo Shuer, sitting in the carriage.
In the northern border, there were too many people who were at odds with Yu Zhi, including Wang Wufeng's family, Shao Jian'an's family, and Mr. San, killers hiding in the dark.
With Li Haomiao here, Yu Zhi doesn't have to worry about anything.
Yu Zhi looked back at the carriage and heard Li Haomiao beside him say: "After this matter is over, what are you going to do with Miss Guo?"
Yu Zhi was startled, he hadn't thought about this problem yet. At that time, he took Guo Shuer out of the plum garden just to avenge her.
Not only because of his promise, but also because this matter is so unfair.
In Yu Zhi's own words, killing for life should not be regarded as an exchange of interests.
Yu Zhi thought for a moment and said, "It depends on her wishes at that time. This trip is just to avenge him."
Li Haomiao looked at Yu Zhi as if he was looking at an idiot.
"What if she wants to follow you?"
Yu Zhi responded subconsciously: "What are you following me for?"
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, do you know what the Peach Blossom Tribulation is?" Li Haomiao said cheerfully. He secretly cursed: Xiao Yu'er is not as handsome as me, why do so many women fall in love with him? Not to mention Li Wantong, Guo Shuer is not bad looking either.
Upon hearing this, Yu Zhi turned to look at the carriage behind him.
Then, he scratched his head and smiled sheepishly: "Am I so charming?"
Li Haomiao kicked the horse under Yu Zhi's crotch angrily. The horse neighed and rushed forward in a hurry.
Yu Zhi also took advantage of the situation and rushed forward.
When he was a young boy in bright clothes and angry horses, Yu Zhi never imagined that he would be proud of the spring breeze and be in front of nobles. Now that Li Wantong is fine, the trip to the north is going smoothly. This is already his greatest wish.
The worry was over, and only Guo Shuer was left, which made Yu Zhi feel a lot more relaxed.
Yu Zhi was galloping through the mountains and forests, thinking about returning to Kyoto to marry Li Wantong.
In the carriage, when the two women met for the first time, they both responded with silence.
Li Wantong also heard about Guo Shuer from Yu Zhi and felt sympathy. She has been hidden outside Kyoto since she was a child and cannot be exposed to others. Even if we occasionally go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to get together, it is just a routine matter and a hurried matter.
Perhaps because of the almost abandoned life, Li Wantong can empathize more with Guo Shuer.
"Miss Guo, Yu Zhi will definitely avenge you." Li Wantong said first.
Guo Shuer was slightly startled and smiled at Li Wantong.
"Miss Li, Yu knows that he is a very good person."
When Li Wantong heard this, the smile on her face became brighter, as if these words were a compliment to her.
She looked down at her legs, raised them slightly, and swayed gently in the air.
Not long ago, she had never imagined that she would be able to walk on earth in this life.
"Yes." Li Wantong agreed, "It's really a blessing to meet him."
Since she met Yu Zhi, although there were dangers, she was happy along the way. The hidden disease that had lasted for more than ten years was cured, which was a miracle achieved through Yu Zhi's hard work.
Yu Zhi was like a gleam of light that passed through the bamboo forest in the mountains outside Kyoto and fell on Li Wantong.
Immediately, Li Wantong looked at Guo Shuer and said, "So, Yu Zhi will definitely seek justice for you, right?"
Guo Shuer felt Li Wantong's firm gaze, and most of her worries about how Yu Zhi should deal with Cang Shui disappeared instantly.
From time to time, images of her and Yu Zhi in the cave appeared in her mind. Once, she thought that she would not be able to kill Cang Shui in this life, but Yu Zhi appeared in front of her again.
The boy stretched out his hand towards her, and the dark room seemed to be illuminated by the morning light. The young man's warm hand pulled her out of the abyss of despair.
"I believe him." Guo Shuer said in a deep voice.
The mountain breeze blew up the curtains, revealing the gorgeous spring scenery and the young man's back outside.
The eyes of the two women fell on Yu Zhi at the same time.
Immediately, Li Wantong glanced at Guo Shuer again. Just the scene just now. How could Li Wantong not know Guo Shuer's thoughts?
Women, even girls who are not experienced in the world, are equally sensitive to that sour smell.
The Guo Shuer in front of me, and the girl in green... Hum, Yu Zhike is really attractive.
Li Wantong looked at Yu Zhi with a colder look.
There was murderous intent... Yu Zhi suddenly felt a chill on his back. When he looked back, he saw Li Wantong's gentle smile.
The group of people moved forward slowly, not in a hurry.
In the Cangshan Palace on Cangshan Mountain, another group of Cangshan elders gathered.
Except for Cang Huo who left the mountain to find Biluo Qingyan, everyone else was sitting in their respective positions.
The depressing atmosphere made everyone understand that Cangshan was about to suffer another disaster.
The last time Prince Xiao Jingyao sent troops to Cangshan and seized Cangshan's fortune for twenty years, Cangshan was like a frightened bird, especially sensitive to the situation in the north.
But this time, the news that Yu Zhi and others came from Qinggu also reached Cangshan.
Of course, Yu Zhiben had no intention of hiding it from them. Yu Zhi wanted to let the entire northern border know that he was going to stand in front of the mountain gate of Cangshan and teach Cangshan the principle of killing people to pay for their lives.
Cang Bieli held his breath and concentrated, still looking like a worldly master who didn't care about the world.
In fact, Cang Bieliang already had overwhelming anger in his heart.
This year has been an eventful year for Cangshan.
Northern Border Army Chen Bing, Biluo Qingyan was stolen. No matter what happens, it's a slap in Cangshan's face, a slap in his Cang Biejie's face!
Now a slap in the face is coming.
How can Cang Biere not be angry?
As the top three sects in the North, Cangshan cannot afford to lose face again and again!
Cang Biere had no intention of speaking.
Cang Jin received Cang Biejie's instructions early and stood up and said: "Everyone, Yu Zhi's intention to come to Cangshan is very obvious, which is to avenge those Dachu officials. But I, Cangshan, have used my sect's energy for twenty years to get here. Debt, we can no longer let him do whatever he wants."
"Yu Zhi knows that this thief, a little broken armor, dares to steal Biluo Qingyan. He dares to come to Cangshan. He doesn't take us in his eyes, and he doesn't take Cangshan in his eyes. If he is really allowed to be so unscrupulous , how should other sects in the north view me?"
"We must take this opportunity to kill this thief and promote our reputation in Cangshan."
As soon as the voice fell, the dullness and depression in Cangshan Palace were swept away.
Cangshan is already a giant in the Hundred Thousand Mountains. How can a being walking sideways in the north let the little armor-breaking sixth-grade Yu Zhi show off his power?
"Kill Yu Zhi and make Cangshan famous!"
"Kill Yu Zhi and make Cangshan famous!"
For a time, the crowd was furious. Those who can worship in Cangshan Mountain are all his extremely talented disciples, and the elders who can sit in Cangshan Palace are the most talented ones from generation to generation.
How could they allow Xiaoxiao Po Jia to humiliate Cangshan like this?
Cang Jin's eyes swept across everyone, and finally fell on Cang Shui. He didn't understand why Cang Bielie had to keep Cang Shui.
The trouble caused by Cang Shui almost cost the entire Cangshan Mountain.
Why can you still sit here so well?
Cang Jin didn't understand what Cang Bielie was thinking. After the others left, only four elders including Cang Bielie and Cang Jin were left in Cangshan Palace.
Before Cang Huo returned, their metal, wood, water and earth were the highest combat power besides Cang Biejie.
