"Princess, you really can't go in. The Lord has given orders. She is receiving important guests. No one can go in and disturb her, ah——"
"Bang--"
"boom--"
Outside the main hall, the guards on duty were stopping people in a routine manner, but they were thrown out directly by the person coming.
"Hey, is this Taiping? Just come in. Why do you want to hurt those guards? You little girl is getting more and more naughty——"
Lady Wu in the main hall naturally heard such a loud movement clearly. When she said the word "naughty", she subconsciously glanced at Li Chenxiang next to her.
Hey, they are indeed brothers and sisters. These two children are really similar when they were naughty and mischievous when they were young. I wonder who they followed?
"Hey, mother, Taiping has a good sense of control and won't hurt him. Here, this plate of sweet dates is for you to eat——"
Is this really a slap in the face and a sweet date as a gift?
While talking, Xiao Taiping walked into the main hall, looked around, and saw that his mother was sitting in the middle, and sitting on the guest seat on the left was a very heroic little brother.
"Mother, Taiping has completed his training today. You promised Taiping, let's go out and play -"
Seeing Li Chenxiang sitting there, Xiao Taiping smiled at him in a strange way, and actually walked slowly in front of Mrs. Wu, and even bowed politely.
"You girl, you are almost five years old. Why are you still so playful? Don't you know how to practice more?"
Seeing her daughter giving her a rare salute, even Mrs. Wu felt a little uncomfortable for a moment.
"Aunt Wu, who is this little sister?..."
Ever since Xiao Taiping walked into the main hall, Li Chenxiang's eyes had never left her, and there was even more excitement on his face.
He could hear clearly that this little girl actually called "Aunt Wu" "Mother"?
Looking at the age of this little girl, and considering the time when "Aunt Wu" left the Tang Palace, and there are hints of his father in the little Taiping's eyebrows, could Li Chenxiang be a fool?
"Agarwood, I didn't plan to tell the little girl the truth so early. As for Datang, I also feel that the time is not right."
"It's a pity that God is not as good as man, but you happened to catch me, so I will no longer hide you."
"Taiping, haven't you always asked my mother who your father is? This is your eldest brother. Come up and see him--"
Mrs. Wu was originally a sensible person. After going through so many things, she could be regarded as planning and controlling a country with one hand, but she thought about many things.
Tuyuhun was nothing more than a small border country when it was overthrown. The Tang Dynasty casually issued some decrees and was able to double the population of Tuyuhun in just half a year.
Well, if such a policy. What about three years, five years, or even longer?
Mrs. Wu couldn't imagine that by that time, even if it was still called Tuyuhun, it might not be able to define whether it was an independent country.
Especially in the battle against Tubo, it was the 5,000 Tang imperial guards led by Xue Dingshan who really played a key role in the early stage.
Without his attack on the city, Tuyuhun's own strength might only be able to wander around the northern border of Tubo. If he wanted to penetrate thousands or tens of thousands of miles, he would have been wiped out by the Tubo people long ago.
There is no way, Tuyuhun's foundation is still too weak.
The arrival of Fan Lihua, a fellow teacher, temporarily solved the dilemma of not having a commander in charge, and the hundreds of elite soldiers recruited and trained by Alai's national division were quite useful.
Unfortunately, after careful calculation, most of the hundreds of elites came from the Tang Dynasty. The four military leaders who were promoted by him through hard work were all citizens of the Tang Dynasty without exception.
Lady Wu understood that all of this might be attributed to the edict issued by Tang Emperor Li Zhi.
In other words, it was precisely because Li Zhi announced the identity of Lady Wu as the wise concubine of the Tang Dynasty that so many people from the Tang Dynasty traveled thousands of miles to Tuyuhun.
If it is a conspiracy, it is also a conspiracy of Hong Guoguo, whether it is Wu Niangzi or Di Renjie, it is an irresistible and irresistible conspiracy.
"Brother? Are you really my brother?"
Xiao Taiping, who was originally careless and even a little domineering, opened his eyes wide when his mother said this, and was even a little worried that the little brother opposite would give a negative answer.
Li Chenxiang, who is already eleven years old, already knows many things well, not to mention that he already has a younger brother at home.
I often hear my mother say that she has a sister who is a "Daluo Jinxian" who is practicing overseas with a big boss.
"Is your name Taiping? I am your eldest brother, and my name is Li Chenxiang——"
Seeing this little girl with talking eyes, Li Chenxiang suddenly thought of the junior sister in the Tang Dynasty Palace, Shangguan Wan'er, the third disciple of Tang Emperor Li Zhi.
Although that little girl is the latest to become a disciple, her cultivation progress is the fastest among the several disciples. Compared with her second disciple Xue Dingshan, she is not even a little bit better.
Because of this, Xue Dingshan secretly practiced more often, always worried that one day the third junior sister Jiu who came first would surpass him.
No matter what kind of problems there are between the elders, children are always innocent. Li Chenxiang, who has gradually become more sensible, although still a bit rebellious at heart, behaves like a big brother in such "big right and wrong" aspects.
"Are you really my brother? I am Taiping. I have a brother. Brother Chenxiang, wuwuwu..."
After receiving a positive answer from Li Chenxiang, Xiao Taiping actually started crying.
She is already five years old this year. Even if we only count the time of "recording things", it is at least two or three years old.
Living in this palace every day, except for my mother who can get closer, the others are all maids, chamberlains or guards, who are either respectful or submissive.
Five-year-old children have a natural resistance to cultivation, so they begin to feel curious and learn various "flower tricks" like magic tricks.
However, she hopes to have more people to play with her.
About who your father is? I am from the Tang Dynasty, why don’t I go back to the Tang Dynasty? Why doesn't she have other brothers, sisters, or brothers or sisters? ...
The little girl always has many questions, but cannot get satisfactory answers.
Today, I actually saw a good-looking little brother at my mother's place. My mother actually said that this good-looking little brother is her eldest brother?
"Don't cry, Taiping, haha. If you cry any more, you won't be beautiful anymore. Look, brother, what do you have here?"
Seeing Xiao Taiping crying and tears falling down one by one, Li Chenxiang was a little at a loss and suddenly remembered the scene where Aunt Ao coaxed Xiao Ao Ting.
"Wow, what a beautiful fruit! Can you eat this? Why have you never seen such a fruit in Taiping? It smells so good..."
In Li Chenxiang's hand, he was holding two red fruits the size of eggs.
This kind of red fruit blooms once every hundred years and bears fruit once every hundred years. When mature, the appearance is round and bright red, and the fruits come in many shapes, such as spheres, almonds, and some are nearly cone-shaped and square.
The colors of different varieties range from light orange, yellow, dark orange to red, but the two pieces in Li Chenxiang's hands are red and almost round.
This red fruit was naturally picked from the "Mountains and Rivers Sheji Map". There are only two of them with this color and shape.
After all, it was a little girl who immediately held back her tears when she saw something strange. Even her elder brother, whom she met for the first time, was temporarily forgotten.
"Agarwood, how can you do this! This is the best red fruit, where did you get it? If it were left outside, I don't know how many people would fight for it, but you gave it to this little girl?"
If Xiao Taiping doesn't know the goods, how can Mrs. Wu not know them?
After all, she had practiced with powerful people for so many years, and even though she had never seen or tasted it, she had heard the master mention it.
Li Chenxiang actually took out two top-quality red fruits and gave them to Xiao Taiping as fruits? This kid doesn’t know the rarity of Zhu Guo, so he
Does it mean that he really likes this little sister Taiping?
"Aunt Wu, please don't do this. Taiping is Chenxiang's sister. If you have good things, you will naturally give them to her. Unfortunately, there were more than ten of them before, but they were all eaten by that little guy Ao Ting. Even Junior Sister Wan'er only got Just two."
In fact, Li Chenxiang himself didn't know the value of this red fruit very well. He ate a lot of it himself. After eating, it only increased some strength and some mana.
When he didn't "feel" any more after eating it, he took it out and gave it to Ao Ting and Shangguan Wan'er.
Firstly, those two were the only children in the palace, and secondly, he actually ate the red fruit as if it were fruit. He just felt that the fruit was a bit "small" and he didn't have the nerve to share it with the adults.
As for the red ones, like the two he gave Xiao Taiping now, they are the only two red ones. Just because they look crystal clear and beautiful, he has kept them until now.
Listening to what "Aunt Wu" just said, are these two the best among the red fruits?
"Okay, good boy, you are indeed worthy of being the eldest brother, and indeed worthy of being the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty! Taiping, why don't you quickly thank you, Brother Chenxiang!"
Hearing Chen Xiang's reply, Mrs. Wu's heart, which had been "lonely" for many years, was inexplicably moved.
She also has two brothers, half-brothers, but unfortunately, they are not kind to her or her mother.
Fortunately, Mrs. Wu went to practice with the Buddhist boss early in the morning, otherwise she might not have received any kind of abuse in the Wu family.
Seeing how close the brother and sister were when they first met, Mrs. Wu couldn't help but think of her own childhood.
"Thank you, Brother Chenxiang——"
Xiao Taiping held two red fruits in his hands and bowed to Chenxiang Yingying, but he was worried that the red fruits would slip from his hands, which looked a little funny.
"Haha, do you need to say thank you to your brother? If my father knew that he had such a well-behaved and beautiful little princess, how happy he would be -"
Although he didn't get along with his father for a long time, Li Chenxiang still keenly discovered that his father was not very "friendly" to him and the second child Ao Ting.
On the contrary, Shangguan Wan'er, the third junior sister who was newly admitted to the sect, seemed to be more favored than their brothers, and Li Luo, the eldest sister who had never met before, was often talked about by her father.
If he really saw the Taiping sister in front of him, Li Chenxiang could think of his father's surprised look with his toes.
"Aunt Wu, this Zhu Guo is still too powerful for Sister Taiping. If she takes it, you'd better be there to take care of it."
Little Taiping is only five years old, but he has just broken through to the realm of "celestial being".
Although Chen Xiang could also see that his sister also had considerable talents, after all, her cultivation and age were still young, and he didn't want Xiao Taiping to have problems because of these two Zhu Guo.
"I naturally understand this. Taiping, please put these two red fruits here for me first. When your realm stabilizes, I will watch you take one. It may be able to help you break through to the 'real immortal realm'." !」
Madam Wu is not lying when she says this. Although Taiping's cultivation is shallow, the "Heavenly Immortal" tribulation she has survived is the rare "Nine-Nine Thunder Tribulations". This is much better than Madam Wu, Imperial Master Alai and Di Renjie.
"Aunt Wu, these are the two sets of "Heart Dao" and "Physical Techniques" passed down by my father. They are also unique to my father. Many of my royal family members and even those close to my father have learned them. "
"According to what my father said, if you learn one of these two sets of techniques to the Great Perfection, you will have the chance to become the Great Luo Golden Immortal. Practicing both sets together will have even more unexpected effects."
"You and Sister Taiping are also members of my royal family, so naturally you can practice this technique together. If you meet the right person, you can pass these two techniques on as appropriate."
Li Chenxiang thought for a moment and took out two jade charms from the storage bag, respectively engraved with the two skills of "Heart Dao" and "Physical Jue".
So far, many people are practicing these two sets of exercises. The energy in Li Zhi’s body
The "energy of chaos" is gathering more and more, and it is gradually liquefying?
"Well, since it is Chen Xiang's heart, I will accept it on Taiping's behalf."
Madam Wu has been practicing Buddhist magical powers since she was a child. She once thought that Buddhist techniques were unique in the three realms. However, after years of wandering around, she discovered that the magical powers of Eastern Xuanmen are even more profound.
Under the "Xuanyuan Fangzhongshu" physical therapy given by Emperor Li Zhi of the Tang Dynasty, her cultivation had returned to the late stage of "Taiyi Xuanxian" a few years ago. She has not stopped practicing in these years, but she has always been unable to find further breakthroughs. Feel.
In the past, when encountering such a situation, Mrs. Wu always went to Lingshan to seek help from her master.
Unfortunately, Lingshan is now the territory of the demon clan, and her master "Buddha from the East" has also fallen there.
With these two sets of skills, maybe my dream of Da Luo...
...
"Agarwood, how many troops did you bring this time? Are there any other high-level combat forces besides you?"
Chen Xiang was the only one who entered Fuqi City, and even Rutuolo, who was protecting Chen Xiang personally, was left outside by him.
This is Tuyuhun. Not to mention that more than half of today's Tuyuhun are from the Tang Dynasty. Just talking about the relationship between Chenxiang and Lady Wu, and Chenxiang's own "Taiyi Xuanxian" mid-term cultivation, how can he still enter Fuqi City? Is there any danger?
"Let Aunt Wu know that the demons in the Tang Dynasty have been completely eliminated. Marshal Xue has divided the demon army into six and went to various parts of Nanzhan Continent to help other countries wipe out the remaining demon forces."
"Because he received the news that my second senior brother Xue was trapped in Tubo, Chenxiang came here first to inquire. He only brought a hundred elites from the Lijing Sect and two thousand forbidden army cavalry."
"However, Chen Xiang has sent a letter to Marshal Xue, asking him to quickly dispatch 10,000 Tang troops to invade Tibet. Since Chen Xiang is here this time, he will naturally have to suppress the logic-"
Faced with Lady Wu's questions, Li Chenxiang did not hide anything, but frankly told her side's strength and plans.
Chen Xiang is naturally very clear about Tuyuhun's situation. With Tuyuhun's strength alone, it would be a foolish dream to completely eat Tubo.
Even today's Tang Dynasty, listening to the emperor's wishes, does not plan to completely destroy Tubo for the time being.
You know, there is a shadow of Buddhism behind Tubo, and Tubo is the southwesternmost point of Nanzhanbuzhou. After passing there, we will go to Xiniuhezhou.
And at the junction of Nanzhanbuzhou and Xiniuhezhou, there are dangerous mountains thousands of feet high, covered with snow all year round, making it difficult for ordinary soldiers to climb over them.
"In this case, Chenxiang can go to the Tubo front line first. I will supply all the food and grass on the way. Prime Minister Di has also rushed to Tubo. But if you have any unresolved matters, you can also consult with him - "
Seeing that Chen Xiang did not reveal the accompanying master, Mrs. Wu selectively ignored it and took a command arrow from the table.
"This is my palace's 'gold medal command arrow'. This is the only one for the entire Tuyuhun. Your Highness, the Crown Prince, please carry it with you. Your Highness, the Crown Prince, can use this 'gold medal command arrow' to dispatch any Tuyuhun army in Tubo territory."
The "Gold Medal Order Arrow" is in hand, even if it involves military and national affairs, Lady Wu also reveals an indescribable majesty.
It wasn't that she was really generous, but she was very clear about the strength of Tuyuhun's army. The five thousand Tang forbidden troops previously were better than the fifty thousand elite troops that Tuyuhun had brought into Tibet.
Not to mention the two thousand people around Li Chenxiang. If Xue Rengui sent another ten thousand troops, Tuyuhun would be completely reduced to a foil in the entire southern expedition to Tibet.
In this world filled with immortals and Buddhas, power and status in the world are certainly tempting, but the golden elixir path is the true pursuit of all practitioners.
The leader of a country has also done it, and there is another opportunity to break through Daluo. Naturally, Mrs. Wu will not take these military and political powers in her eyes.
Besides, even if I wanted to compete forcefully, could I really compete with the Tang Emperor?
Her relationship with Li Zhi is extremely delicate.
First, the master revealed to her the "secret secret" that she was married to the nine sons of Emperor Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty. Later, she lurked in Chang'an for several years, but by mistake, she secretly supported the King of Wei, Li Tai.
Later, the king of Wei, Li Tai, was completely defeated, but Li Zhi's position was as stable as Mount Tai until he reached the Ninth Five-Year Plan.
Mrs. Wu was once unwilling to give in. She felt that she was no inferior to any man in the world, whether in cultivation or in holding imperial power.
Unfortunately, when she was most embarrassed and helpless, the almighty master was unable to help her. Instead, Li Zhi, who was already the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, rescued her.
"Xuanyuan Fangzhongshu", that magical method that is difficult to describe to outsiders, allowed her to be reborn from the dead and make the dead tree spring back to life.
Then, out of the arrogance in her bones, she still left the palace that countless women of the Tang Dynasty yearned for.
Later, I discovered that there was Xiao Taiping.
after that......
"Thank you Aunt Wu, Agarwood will definitely live up to your expectations——"
Li Chenxiang respectfully took the "Golden Medal Arrow" from Madam Wu. As a member of the royal family, he naturally understood the value and power of the "Golden Medal Arrow".
Gold Medal Command Arrow, if I are here in person, am I going to hand over the entire Tuyuhun to my own hands?
Li Chenxiang even knelt down on one knee, holding up the "Gold Medal Arrow" he took from Madam Wu with both hands. His respect was no less than when he faced his father, emperor and mother.
...
"I'd like to ask you, your Majesty, but Tuyuhun Di Cheng is very respectable?——"
Five days later, Li Chenxiang and his party arrived at the "Domi Mountain" area. According to reports from the "Lijing Gate" in front of the sudden attack, there was a Tuyuhun camp here.
When the more than two thousand Imperial Guards of the Tang Dynasty led by Li Chenxiang arrived in front of the Tuyuhun camp, they found that the other party had already come out to greet them.
The leader was dressed as a Confucian scholar, sitting high on a free horse, with a unique Tuguhun felt hat on his head, presumably to protect him from the wind and sand in Tubo.
Linlin is nine feet tall, with a sword hanging on her waist, lined with fine armor. Although she is dressed as a Confucian scholar, she still has a strong aura, like two black gems, shining with the light of wisdom.
Such a temperament was rare for Li Chenxiang. Among the generals of the Tang Dynasty, he had only seen it in Li Yaoshi and Xu Maogong.
Behind him was a group of people, about a hundred of them, but they were rare elites, even compared to the elite of the Forbidden Army led by Li Chenxiang.
The general following closely behind the Confucian scholar had a peak level of "Xuanxian" cultivation. The soldiers behind him were holding two big flags high.
On one side is written "Dragon and Tiger Army", with coiled dragons and crouching tigers fluttering in the wind, and on the other side is written a big word "Di".
"The true identity is none other than Di Renjie. I wonder which general from the Tang Dynasty is here?——"
With more than two thousand cavalry galloping, Di Renjie had already received a report of the scouting horse, but it came from the rear, and the person who came was dressed in the Tang Dynasty, so it was naturally impossible for him to meet him in battle.
In order to show respect, Di Renjie took the lead to get off the horse and strode out of the camp gate to greet Li Chenxiang and the others.
Zhang Huan, the leader of the "Dragon and Tiger Army" behind him, also quickly got off his horse and followed closely behind Di Renjie.
Seeing that the other party had taken him out, Li Chenxiang also hurriedly got off his horse, threw the reins to the guards on the side, and went to meet him.
"Li Chenxiang, a latecomer from the Tang Dynasty, met Mr. Di——"
Look at what Li Chenxiang calls himself and calls Di Renjie. This was not something he did intentionally, but something his father, Li Zhi, had explained beforehand.
During this period, the Tang Dynasty had shown a situation of "strong military and weak civil society", especially within the central government.
The people who were responsible for the government affairs of the Tang Dynasty were still the old men Fang Xuanling and Wei Zheng. At most, the Tang King Li Chengqian could help.
As for the other young people, fortunately Li Zhi met the young Yao Chong by chance.
In Qiu Wei, this boy was ranked fifth in the first class of high school, and was specially approved by Tang Emperor Li Zhi to stay in the center. His current status is considered to be Fang Xuanling's "secretary".
Li Zhi would not do anything that would encourage the development of young people. He planned to let the future
The famous prime minister first studied with Fang Xuanling for two years, then was sent to another place to train for two years, and then served as an errand in the Sixth Department for a few years.
To really talk about the position of prime minister, it has to be after the age of thirty.
This is not some kind of seniority ranking that Li Zhi wants to do. Without certain experience and experience, suddenly being promoted to that position will not be a good thing for Yao Chong himself or Datang.
Yao Chong didn't feel any resistance. On the contrary, he felt that he had received a great favor. Don't you see, except for the top four in the new subject, who entered the Hanlin Academy, the other three were all sent to other places.
After sorting through all the celebrities of this era in his memory, Li Zhi selected Di Renjie's name.
But where is Di Renjie?
Li Chenxiang is the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty, so Li Zhi naturally has to take special care of him. He will not guard against this kid usurping the throne and seizing power. He hopes that this kid will grow up and work for him as soon as possible.
Ever since, Di Renjie's name, character, and abilities rang in Li Chenxiang's ears many times.
Li Zhi even warned him many times that no matter when and where he saw Di Renjie, no matter what their positions were, Li Chenxiang must treat him as a teacher!
The orders from above must be obeyed. This belongs to the emperor and his father. No matter how stupid Li Chenxiang is, he will not dare to disobey Li Zhi's arrangements in this matter.
What's more, Di Renjie has become famous in recent years.
With such a poor foundation as Tuyuhun, Di Renjie single-handedly turned him around in just a few years. After Li Chenxiang learned about it in detail, he was greatly impressed in his heart.
Such a person with great talent and wisdom will naturally be praised by people of insight, and Li Zhi's obedience was regarded by Li Chenxiang as the help arranged by his father for him.
Ever since, the scene just now happened.
Li Chenxiang clasped his hands in his fists, bowed and said "Sir", and waited there respectfully.
"Li Chenxiang? Ah, you are actually the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty?——"
