Cao Qiong's face changed slightly, and he waved his hand and said, "How can this be done!"
Ling Xiaoyun joked: "Why not do this? Is it possible that the senior is worried about being poached by the junior and losing a piece of rough jade in vain? Senior, you can rest assured that your disciple can continue to stay with you to practice martial arts, and the junior will only teach him spear skills. , all other big and small matters are still decided by the seniors, you are the senior master, and the junior can be the second master."
Seeing that Cao Qiong was still weighing the matter, Ling Xiaoyun struck while the iron was hot: "I believe that the senior's unique vision means that the disciple must be extremely talented and have excellent bones. Instead of letting him squander his talent in vain, it is better to let him pass on the lifelong spear skills of the younger generation, and also So that the younger generation can inherit what they have learned.”
Cao Qiong was about to refuse again, but seeing Ling Xiaoyun's eyes blazing, he thought about it. Since Lu Huaiyuan didn't want to practice swordsmanship, it would be better to let him practice spear skills with Ling Xiaoyun. You are very strong, it is useless for me to agree to this matter, you have to agree to it yourself."
Ling Xiaoyun smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, as long as the senior nods and agrees, the junior will say it in person later."

It has been seven years since the last time the three kingdoms jointly launched a rebellion. During these seven years, the Liao monarch Qu Yunxi was obsessed with martial arts and had almost no regard for government affairs. He had already handed over to Li Mi to supervise the country. The top counselors were also sincerely convinced, and with the strong support of General Ashannu, the other officials had no choice but to obey orders even if they were dissatisfied.
The Liao Kingdom was restricted by the terrain, and although its territory did not expand, with the help of the Ashan Crossbow's overwhelming victories, many young men from the Liao Kingdom joined the army. Li Mi first dispersed the three thousand islanders on Yunxi Island who were well-armed. He joined the army and taught his soldiers martial arts. Now the Liao Kingdom is more than twice as powerful as when Hong Jiang was in power.
At the same time, Chen Xiong of Chu State and Li Chengzhi of Yan State were both ambitious tycoons in troubled times, and each had strong assistants. They were secretly accumulating strength and preparing to attack Liang State in the future.
I think back then, when Emperor Liang Qing was on the throne, the country was peaceful and the people were safe, and the four generals of Liang were still there. The three countries of Yan, Chu, and Liao did not dare to invade, so they could only surrender willingly. Feng Jingan was a virtuous and benevolent person. Li Jian had repeatedly advised him to take the initiative to send troops to attack the Three Kingdoms and defeat them one by one to avoid future troubles and unify the world. However, Feng Jingan could not bear the intrusion of the people by the flames of war and was always unwilling to take the initiative to provoke war.
After Emperor Qing died and Emperor Wu succeeded to the throne, it was not difficult to defeat the three kingdoms one by one with the national strength of Liang at that time. However, Feng Jing was not Feng Jing'an at all, and he always had suspicions about Li Jian. In order to prevent Li Jian from relying on his own troops, he Naturally, he would not delegate power to lead troops to attack other countries, and he missed a great opportunity to unify the country. As for why Qu Huailer chose to remain silent at that time, he was probably worried that after Liang Guo unified the world, he would have no place to use his power and would be defeated by Feng Jingquan. Killing the donkey, or to disrupt the general trend of the world, so that he can once again rely on his own ability to make a difference.
But no matter what, the three kingdoms are becoming stronger and stronger now. If Li Jian's sea-fixing needle was not still there, the Liang Kingdom would probably be in war again.
After careful calculation, it has been fourteen years since Emperor Wu of Liang succeeded to the throne, and now he has reached his thirtieth year. The Liang Kingdom had countless concubines in the harem, but Emperor Wu of Liang had never appointed a queen. In fact, everyone in the Liang Kingdom knew that Emperor Wu of Liang had coveted his wife-in-law An Murong for a long time. When An Murong first entered the palace, he was still in his early years, and was regarded as a heavenly being by Feng Jingquan, who was only fourteen years old. However, due to his identity and the living emperor brother Feng Jing'an at the time, he did not dare to be too presumptuous. After the death of Emperor Liang Qing, Feng Jingquan's true colors were exposed. He went to An Murong privately many times to express his feelings. However, An Murong had a strong temper and often threatened death. In addition, due to the rebellion of the Three Kingdoms at that time, Feng Jingquan had no time to care about him. An Murong was able to keep his innocence. body.
Now that there are no foreign troubles, as Feng Jing gets older, the matter of establishing a throne as a queen is once again put on the agenda, and Emperor Liang Wu has the bad intentions of his former emperor's wife again.
In the Yeting Palace of the Liang Kingdom, An Murong kept everything simple after the death of Emperor Liang Qing. He should not have stayed here anymore, but Emperor Wu of the Liang Dynasty was extra gracious and not only allowed him to stay here, but also had a palace maid. Countless people took care of An Murong's food, clothing, housing and transportation.
But An Murong has been living in seclusion for more than ten years. What he does most every day is sit in front of the window and enjoy the scenery. A few days ago, An Murong asked someone to buy a "green embroidered eye" outside the palace and kept it in a cage for entertainment.
Women's minds are inherently delicate, and An Murong, who is now over thirty, has already passed the age where girls are ignorant. Naturally, she is well aware of Feng Jingquan's little thoughts. In troubled times, it is a blessing for a woman to have a strong husband's family to rely on. Back then, due to family pressure, An Murong was forced to marry into the emperor's family and marry her beloved in order for the An family to advance to the next level in the Liang Kingdom. Breaking off a marriage was originally a difficult task, but Feng Jingan was not only a talented man, but also a rare wise king. After the marriage, the husband and wife treated each other with respect and treated each other like guests. An Murong did not feel that he had been wronged. As for that person's affection, he would never let him down in this life. I can only repay it in the next life. She originally planned to give birth to an heir for Feng Jing'an and inherit the throne, and stay in the harem with peace of mind. An Murong thought that she was not capable of taking charge of the harem. The mother's feat of honoring the world, but she could devote herself to caring for her husband and raising her children. It was easy for her.
But the originally warm and peaceful life was shattered by Feng Jingan's mysterious death. If she were an ordinary woman, she could go back to her parents' home to seek shelter, or she could remarry and choose a new husband. But she couldn't, because She was once the queen of a country. From the moment she got married, she was destined to die in the palace and never be able to live the life of an ordinary person again.
An Murong teased the "green embroidered eye" with a sad look on his face and murmured: "Little guy, you are just a bird that needs to be fed by others to survive. Without support, even if I open the cage door, you will not be able to survive." Don’t dare to fly away from here, it’s really pitiful.”
The bird named "Xi'er" chirped as if in response. An Murong slowly stood up and looked into the distance, but all he could see was the endless palace wall. The outside world had nothing to do with him from the moment he entered the palace.
An Murong sighed and said to himself with a slight cry: "Guo Lang, if you and I were braver back then, would we be able to live together and spend the rest of our lives together now?"
