"So, my brother was treated well in Qingqiu, and why does this jade talisman say that he is missing?"
What happened to Li Chengqian in Qingqiu Mountain naturally had to be learned from Nong Xue, who came to deliver the letter.
Hearing that his eldest brother was forcibly detained for seven years, Li Zhi was naturally a little unhappy. However, since it was his eldest brother's choice, what could he say?
"Your Majesty, Your Highness the Prince of Tang is a guest in my Qingqiu. He is indeed treated like a distinguished guest. After all, he is still my lady's Taoist companion."
"After seven years of hard training, my lady has broken through to the 'Taiyi Golden Immortal Realm'. This is already considered a pretty good combat power in the Qingqiu Fox Clan today."
"And His Highness Prince Tang is even more extraordinary. He has completely absorbed the inner elixir passed down from ancient times. His realm has also reached the realm of Taiyi Golden Immortal, and has reached its peak. His strength is even higher than that of my young lady."
"Originally, the two of them were going to attend the 'Moon Worshiping Conference' three years ago. However, just the night before the 'Moon Worshiping Conference' started, my young lady and His Highness Prince Tang both disappeared."
"This matter is so important that my eldest elder did not dare to speak out. After all, not many people know about the young lady's return to the mountain. Not many people even know about the young lady's existence."
"In the past three years, the Great Elder has been conducting covert and covert investigations, and it seems that he has discovered some clues. However... more than a month ago, the Great Elder disappeared out of thin air."
At this point, Nongxue's voice already sounded like crying.
She was one of the complete insiders to the matter of Chengxin returning to the mountain. Nongxue was not only the personal maid who accompanied Chengxin when he grew up, but was also brought up by the great elder.
Although she was just an inconspicuous little maid in name, she had actually been cultivated by the great elder since she was a child, and she felt like a teacher and a mother. Nongxue was naturally panicked when she suddenly disappeared.
However, this matter is not only too strange, but also involves the young lady and the secrets of the clan. What can the elder do if she is not an insignificant little girl?
While cleaning up the great elder's room, Nongxue accidentally discovered a jade talisman, which turned out to be a letter from the great elder to the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty.
So, after much thought, Nongxue finally found an opportunity and quietly left the "Qingqiu Fox Country".
Strictly speaking, Nongxue's behavior has violated the laws of the "Qingqiu Fox Country", which prohibits any clan member from going out privately. This has been the iron rule of the Qingqiu Fox clan for more than two thousand years.
Ten years ago, it was the great elder Bai Qing who took great risks to bring Li Chengqian into the "Qingqiu Fox Country".
Li Zhi held the jade talisman in his hand. With his eyesight, he could naturally tell that this jade talisman was refined a month ago.
But why did the Great Elder of the Fox Clan, whom he had never met, make a request to him?
Moreover, this is under the premise that his brother has been missing for three years?
"Qingqiu Fox Clan? How brave!——"
Li Zhi was angry, angry without warning. Just now he tried to sense it, but he could no longer feel the existence of "Longquan Sword".
Back then, the "Longquan Sword" of the "Acquired Spiritual Treasure" level was given to Li Chengqian, which was obviously to give him a boost. After all, not just anyone can produce a top-notch "Acquired Spiritual Treasure".
On the other hand, Li Zhi was also worried about his brother's safety, so he tampered with the "Longquan Sword". Once Li Chengqian's life was in danger, he would be able to sense it immediately.
However, he had just summoned the "Longquan Sword" three times, but could not get any response.
In this scenario, there are only two possibilities.
Either an expert completely abolished his arrangement on the "Longquan Sword", or it was isolated by something. At least the other party's arrangement was beyond Li Zhi's current ability.
No matter what it is, Li Chengqian may face a situation that he cannot solve by himself.
"Emperor, please calm down. Nongxue came here only out of necessity.
Those who were looking for the Emperor, the young lady, the First Elder and His Highness Prince Tang, all disappeared mysteriously. Nongxue was afraid that one day she would..."
If a person does not serve himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth. In the final analysis, repaying a favor is one thing. Worrying about endangering his own life is the fundamental reason for Nongxue's trip to Chang'an.
"Father, my uncle's safety is more important. You must not act recklessly..."
The maid named Nong Xue was so frightened that she knelt on the ground. Seeing the angry look on Li Zhi's face, Li Liluo, who was standing aside, thought that his father had murderous intentions for the girl, so he hurriedly tried to persuade her from the side.
Are you kidding? How can a little vixen at the level of "Taiyi Xuanxian" dare to face Li Zhi's anger?
Li Liluo persuaded Li Zhi to calm down.
Of course, he didn't want to embarrass this Nongxue, but because he couldn't sense the existence of "Longquan Sword", he couldn't hold back his anger for a while.
"Do you want me to come with you?"
Among the jade talismans, the great elder named Bai Qing has already made a request to Li Zhi, not only asking Li Zhi to save Tang Wang Li Chengqian, but also asking for strong support for the Qingqiu Fox Clan.
It's a pity that her letter talisman has not yet been sent out, and she has mysteriously disappeared. Fortunately, there is a little girl like Nongxue, otherwise there is no telling what direction things will develop.
"Emperor, the elder is kind to Nongxue. The young lady also grew up with Nongxue. If the emperor is willing to help, Nongxue is willing to be the emperor's slave forever——"
Nongxue had tears in her eyes and gave her "soul of life".
Is this an ordinary act of selling oneself into slavery? He clearly wants to sign a "master-servant contract" with Li Zhi?
"No need, even if it's not for your elder and young lady, I won't stand still."
The current Li Zhi is no longer the original Li Zhi. The person in front of him is just a little fox in the realm of "Taiyi Xuanxian". If he were a "Da Luo Jinxian", he would probably consider it.
"Master..."
Bai Suzhen was also standing by. She had always been prudent in doing things. When she heard that Master was interested in going to the "Qingqiu Fox Country", she couldn't help but want to persuade him.
You must know that Li Zhi is now the new Human Emperor, and his words and deeds are related to the life and death of countless people. If something unexpected happens, the entire human race may be cast into a shadow.
It is true that Bai Suzhen is from the demon clan, but for so many years, she has been under Li Zhi's disciples for decades, and she has already linked her interests with Li Zhi, with the Tang Dynasty, and with the human clan.
Of course, Bai Suzhen is not the only one who has such thoughts and practices, such as Bai Zhen, Rutuoluo, Indra, Xiao Bailong, etc. Even Songtsen Gampo, who they have only known each other for a short time, is willing to take the form of a shaman. Li Zhi is the main one.
Bai Suzhen wanted to persuade Li Zhi, but when the words came to her lips, she didn't know how to speak.
Could it be said that she could persuade Li Zhi not to go to the "Qingqiu Fox Country" and not to care about the life and death of Tang Wang Li Chengqian?
Even if she really thinks that way in her heart, she cannot say these words. The same is true for Bai Suzhen and the same is true for Li Liluo.
"Okay, I know how filial you two are, but if I don't make this trip, what will your imperial uncle do? How will I face your imperial grandfather and imperial grandmother?"
In fact, Li Zhi also felt that this matter was a bit strange. Unless the Nong Xue in front of him was lying, otherwise, this matter must not be as simple as it seems on the surface.
Bai Qing? A Qingqiu fox demon named Bai?
...
Li Zhi still left Chang'an City, still thinking about it. In fact, when Zhizunbao left last time, he had the idea of going out for a walk.
Unfortunately, he is not as free and easy as the Supreme Treasure. Apart from the "Zixia Fairy" whom he has entrusted to take care of, he has nothing to worry about.
Regarding Fairy Zixia, Li Zhi really inquired about it, and he did not hesitate to use the two lines of Roaring Sky Dog and Baoxiang Taoist.
Today's Baoxiang Taoist is doing well in the "Tianci Guards".
Over the years, "God
"Giwei" can be considered to have gone through several major battles. Although the scale has remained at around a hundred people, the hundred people when it was first formed now only have about twenty people left.
Taoist Baoxiang is undoubtedly one of the veteran figures. Not only is he senior, but after breaking through to the "Daluo Golden Immortal", his actual combat power is also firmly ranked among the top five of the "Tianci Guards".
The Supreme Treasure has finally left. Although King Yu Tao still holds the title of deputy capital commander, he is the supreme commander of the "Tianci Guards".
Today, the "Tianci Guard" has truly become a chess piece in the hands of the Great God. Unfortunately, both high-end combat power and overall strength are not as good as before.
The news that Roaring Sky Dog got was more extensive. After all, the number one thin dog in the Three Realms has a big face and a familiar head. Who can resist giving some face to Zhenjun Erlang?
Fairy Zixia comes from the lower world, and her true form seems to be a purple Ganoderma lucidum. It was originally planted in the "Tao Yang Hall" of the Great Heavenly Lord...
I don’t know why, but when I was about to transform, I was moved away by the Queen Mother...
Later, she became the maid next to the Queen Mother and taught her skills. She was even selected into the "Jinwei" to become the assistant of the Nine Heavens Xuannv...
Nowadays, the Nine Heavens Xuannv killed the "good corpse" and became a "quasi-sage". Her true identity has disappeared, and the "Jinwei" is actually controlled by Fairy Zixia.
Seeing this information, Li Zhi's head felt a little big.
Since she was brought to heaven by the Great Heavenly Lord, it seems that the background of this Fairy Zixia may not be that simple. Now she has become the disciple of the Queen Mother and has taken over the "Jinwei".
At the same time, he was related to the male and female supreme beings in the three realms. Li Zhi knew very well that the ending of the Supreme Treasure and Zixia Fairy in the future would not be that simple anyway.
However, it seems that he cannot ignore this matter. With the power of the Supreme Treasure alone, even if he recovers his true form in the future, if he wants to take away such an important person from the Queen Mother...
At this time, Li Zhi didn't have much clue.
When he left Chang'an this time, Li Zhi did not disturb too many people. Fortunately, he had let Prince Li Chenxiang handle many daily government affairs.
With the help of the three prime ministers Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng and Di Renjie, and the support of Bai Ze behind him, Li Zhi believed that the Tang Dynasty could not be in chaos.
Besides, there is also his own father in the "Lizheng Palace". The old man is eighty years old, but he is getting younger and younger as he lives.
Of course, Li Shimin's energy has been mainly focused on cultivation in recent years. Although the progress of cultivation has been slow, he has also broken through the realm of "Taiyi Golden Immortal", which is slightly better than Master Li.
This small advantage made Lao Li very excited.
When he was young, Li Shimin was the general of Tiance and the king of the Tang Dynasty. Although he had been on the battlefield for many years, his personal combat power and commander's strength were three points weaker than Li Yaoshi's.
Li Shimin naturally respected Pharmacist Li, calling him "Brother Jing" and "Master Pharmacist" before and after him. After all, he had made great contributions to the establishment of the Tang Dynasty and had always been the "God of War" in the Tang Dynasty. .
However, how can a proud person like Li Shimin easily admit that he is inferior to others?
Li Shimin has always believed that it was the position of Emperor of the Tang Dynasty that fettered and constrained him. If he was just a general in the army, his personal achievements in spiritual practice would definitely not be lower than that of Li Yaoshi.
As a result, the emergence of the ninth son of his family provided the necessary conditions for Li Shimin's dream to be realized for many years - to take off his robe and give way to the throne.
Your Majesty's life shouldn't be too comfortable, right?
There is no trouble with silk and bamboo, no trouble with documents, there are a lot of exercises for him to practice, and there are training resources in the "Lizheng Palace". Li Zhi also offers some rare items to his father from time to time.
Of course, when Li Chenxiang grows up, can that kid who is guarding the "Mountains and Rivers Society Map" cut off the supply from his own grandfather?
Many years later, when Li Yaoshi was still hovering at the peak of "Taiyi Xuanxian", Li Shimin actually came from behind and reached the realm of "Taiyi Golden Immortal" first.
arrive
After all, he was an emperor, and Li Shimin was considered to be at the top of life regardless of his past life. It was much easier for him to practice "Xuanyuan Jue" than Sizi Li Mingda.
Apart from Li Shimin, are any of Li Zhi's four concubines easy to get along with?
Therefore, whether it is Chang'an City, the entire Tang Dynasty, or even Nanzhan Buzhou, Li Zhi does not have to worry too much.
Before leaving, Li Zhi brought his second son Li Aoting with him, but it was Ao Ling who suggested this.
On the surface, the explanation is very simple. Last time Li Zhi took Prince Chenxiang through the ancient secret realm. They all belong to the prince. This bowl of water must be balanced, right?
However, Li Zhi knew very well that what Ao Ling did was precisely to make the bowl of water "unfair".
Li Chenxiang is the crown prince, so he is naturally the future heir of the Tang Dynasty. Even if Li Zhi stays as emperor of the Tang Dynasty forever, Li Chenxiang will also be the first heir.
This is just like the "Three Generations of Buddhas" in Xitian Buddhism. Who can say that Tathagata Buddha will definitely die? Don’t we also have to arrange for a “future Buddha”?
Since Li Zhi had only two princes under his command, Ao Ling was naturally aware of all the nonsense going on in the palace. There were always some people who couldn't see the situation clearly and were restless.
In order to completely eliminate unnecessary troubles, it would be better to simply send his son away and practice with Li Zhi, which would make Prince Chenxiang's bond with the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty more reliable.
Everyone is discerning, who can be a fool?
"Hey, it means Taiping is a bit young and is still a girl. Otherwise, my sister would want her to go with her."
Wu Meiniang pretended to be "eating" at the side, which frightened Li Zhi.
This time he went to the "Qingqiu Fox Country", not to go sightseeing, how could he really take a few children with him? Even those are not ordinary children.
"Father, this 'Qingqiu Fox Country' actually has the ancient 'Chaos Formation of Mysterious Heaven'. Unfortunately, it is just a remnant of the formation. It has more than enough power to confuse but not enough power to protect it."
Well, everyone was practicing the "Delusion-breaking Golden Eyes". Li Zhi was really wondering why the second boy in his family could develop such weird abilities, but he couldn't.
In front of outsiders, Li Zhi couldn't say anything, so he nodded decently.
His "Destroying Golden Eyes" is a little worse than Ao Ting's. Fortunately, Li Zhi's attainments in formations are no longer what they used to be. Although the "Confused Chaos Formation" is powerful, it is not a great skill. Array.琇书蛧
"Nongxue, take my famous thorn to worship the mountain. Just say that Li Zhi of the Tang Dynasty is here——"
There is a high probability that the "Qingqiu Fox Country" is a friend rather than an enemy, so Li Zhi will naturally not do anything too wrong.
Besides, with his current status and strength, he really can't afford to be sneaky.
With Li Zhi as his backing, Nongxue became more confident and entered Qingqiu Mountain directly from the main entrance.
...
About an hour has passed, and the wait has become a bit long.
From where Nong Xue had just entered, a group of people came out one after another. There were about twenty people, all of whom were from the Fox Clan.
"Are you the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty? I'm the Third Elder of Qingqiu Fox Kingdom, Kant. Please forgive me for being late in greeting you -"
The third elder of the "Qingqiu Fox Kingdom" is a thin man of medium stature with a pair of wise eyes. He is sizing up the legendary Human Emperor Li Zhi while talking.
Although few outsiders visit the "Qingqiu Fox Country", they send people out from time to time to check for news. After all, living in the Three Realms, you always need to know something about big and small things.
Emperor Li Zhi of the Tang Dynasty has become a well-known figure in recent years. Especially last year, he was jointly elected as the new Emperor of Humanity by the three holy emperors of the human race.
As a result, it is impossible for the "Qingqiu Fox Country" not to pay attention. You must know that the last "Human Emperor" before the human race fell into the hands of their Qingqiu Fox Clan.
"Elder Kang is so polite. I asked Miss Nongxue to bring my famous thorn to worship the mountain. Why did Elder Kang come out?
I came, but I didn’t see Miss Nongxue? "
Seeing that the other party was also a strong man at the peak of "Daluo Jinxian", Li Zhi still had to respect him from the bottom of his heart.
Although the other party was only a third elder, Li Zhi still felt a little uncomfortable, so he emphasized the word "three" when he spoke.
However, Nongxue didn't come out with him, which was a bit contrary to common sense.
Even though Nongxue came from the "Qingqiu Fox Country", he was considered a messenger sent by Li Zhi at this time. No owner welcomed him out, but instead detained the other party's messenger.
"Well...hehe, maybe the little girl Nongxue has been away from home for a long time, so she will find someone to play with when she comes back. That little girl has always been spoiled by the elder, which is unreasonable. Please also ask Emperor Haihan——"
Kant gave a slight salute with a smile on his face.
He is the pinnacle of the "Daluo Golden Immortal". Seeing that Li Zhi is also the peak of the "Daluo Golden Immortal", although he is polite, he respects Li Zhi's identity more.
In Kant's view, it is absolutely unbelievable that the human race can reach the peak of "Daluo Golden Immortal" in the past thousands of years, not to mention that the other party is the king of a country.
Kant also knew a lot about Li Zhi's reputation and achievements, but most of them were covered up by the "God-killing Spear", "Chaos Bell" or "Samadhi True Fire".
If Kant had these things, his performance might not be much different.
"Oh, really? Then please ask Elder Kang San to lead the way——"
Li Zhi clearly knew that the other party was telling lies, but Li Zhi did not expose him and followed Kant into Qingqiu Mountain.
The path Li Zhi is taking now is completely different from the path his brother Li Chengqian took ten years ago. He can only be regarded as sneaky, but Li Zhi is aboveboard.
The further you walked in, you could see people from the Fox Clan in twos and threes, who were worthy of being members of the Nine-Tailed Sky Fox. Li Zhi actually saw a few good-looking women from the Fox Clan.
Unfortunately, the general level of cultivation is not very high. It is rare to see foxes with more than four tails, and you can even see some who have not yet transformed.
"Emperor, in front of me is the meeting hall of Qingqiu Fox Kingdom. The second elder and several other elders are already waiting for you there."
Sure enough, Li Zhi felt that his eyes dimmed, and a tall and simple palace appeared.
Judging from the style of this palace, it must have been quite grand back then.
It's a pity that after so many years, even the so-called meeting hall is a bit dilapidated, maybe because of the lack of resources in "Qingqiu Fox Country" or something else.
"Second Elder? I am here, am I not qualified enough to meet the leader of your country?"
"Qingqiu Fox Country", since it is a country, it will naturally have a leader. However, over the years, they have still adopted the ancient tribal system, and many things are approved by the Council of Elders after discussion.
Since the "Qingqiu Fox Country" is a tribe of the Nine-Tailed Sky Fox, the Council of Elders has established nine elders. If major matters cannot be adjudicated, the nine elders will vote.
Although Li Zhi's question made sense, he didn't know that the leader of the "Qingqiu Fox Country" had not shown up for many years.
"Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, please come in and tell me if you have anything to say. If you are standing outside the main hall like this, you might think that I, the Qingqiu Fox Country, have treated our guests poorly—"
At this time, a harsh sound came from the slightly dilapidated hall.
Li Zhi frowned, and the third elder Kant also showed a trace of displeasure on his face.
Another peak of "Daluo Jinxian"? Haha, that's interesting.
What's even more interesting is that Li Zhi heard a message from his son Ao Ting in his consciousness.
"Father, there is a good treasure in this hall——"
Well, the Li family's "Treasure Hunting Rat" is online again. I'm afraid this is the real reason why Li Zhi agreed to take his second son with him, right? ...
