Hearing Aning call his boss's name, Lin Xiaolu was slightly surprised. He didn't expect Aning, an ordinary person, to actually know his boss.
However, he remained calm on his face and did not say that Li Mingru was his master. Instead, he decided to leave this matter for another time to show off. Therefore, Lin Xiaolu continued to ask: "I have never heard of the Tang Dynasty you are talking about. What are you talking about?" Why are you telling me this?"
"Aren't you always curious about my origins?"
Jiang Ning showed a rather pale smile: "I am the only princess of the Tang Dynasty."
Lin Xiaolu:? ? ?
In the courtyard, the young man was stunned for a moment after hearing this, then spread his hands and said with a puffed face:
"So what? Are you showing off your background to me? I'm the next generation head of Emei, so I'm not afraid of you at all, okay?"
Jiang Ning:……
"That's not what I meant." Jiang Ning was dumbfounded and explained helplessly: "The Tang Dynasty has been destroyed, and I am now a subjugated princess."
After speaking, Jiang Ning explained his past to the young man in front of him.
The Tang Dynasty was a country located in the eastern part of China. All the people in this country were martial arts, the army was brave and good at fighting, and there were many folk martial arts sects. It was once very prosperous and was a great country that was one of the best in the world.
As the eldest princess of the Tang Dynasty, Jiang Ning has been practicing martial arts since she was a child. She has been good at marksmanship since she was a child, and has also learned the Tang Dynasty's national arts Baguazhang and White Crane Fist.
There is only one immortal cultivating sect around the Tang Dynasty - the Yun Gu Sect.
It was a powerful sect with a foundation no less than that of Emei. There were several monks in the Dan Formation Realm and countless foundation-building monks in the sect. Its sect leader and ancestors were both strong men in the Nascent Soul Realm. Even when facing Emei, they were absolutely powerful. True, except for Li Mingru, of course.
But although the Yun Bone Sect was powerful, the Tang Dynasty was still not weak. For hundreds of years, the two had been on an equal footing, and the people of the Tang Dynasty had never believed in the immortals of the Yun Bone Sect.
In addition to the fact that the Tang Dynasty was a country where all people were martial, the main reason was a red tassel gun called Qianlong Hongying.
It is rumored that Jiang Ning's ancestor, Jiang Taiqing, the founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty, was also a capable monk with amazing talents and a reputation in China. However, his descendants did not have the talent for cultivation, so he used an ordinary red-tasseled gun. He bound a powerful blue dragon and subdued its dragon soul in the gun.
After that, Jiang Taiqing broke through the Nascent Soul and reached a higher level, so he left this gun to future generations, and left a formula that can summon the dragon soul, and only the descendants of the Jiang family can use it. Tang completely has the qualifications to be on an equal footing with immortal cultivators.
In the small courtyard, Lin Xiaolu was lying on the millstone, holding his little head and listening to Jiang Ning's story, and curiously glanced at the black cloth bag in Jiang Ning's hand.
"Could this be the red tassel gun with the dragon soul hidden inside it?" he asked curiously.
Jiang Ning nodded and smiled bitterly: "It's a pity that I am a girl. Even if I know the formula, the dragon soul in this hidden dragon red tassel is not willing to serve me as its master. It cannot face Yun Gu like my great grandfather did back then." The gang of robbers from Zong stood at the gate of the Tang Dynasty with this red-tasseled spear, guarding the soul of the Tang Dynasty with their flesh and blood and their spears!"
The spear alone guards the soul of the Tang Dynasty?
Lin Xiaolu thought about this sentence for a while and found it quite cool.
"What happens after that? Why was the Tang Dynasty destroyed?" He continued to ask.
When Jiang Ning heard this question, her delicate body trembled immediately, as if she thought of something sad. There was overwhelming anger in her beautiful eyes, and she gritted her teeth and said, "Because there is a traitor in our Jiang family!"
"Who?"
"My twin brother, Jiang Yuanan!"
"Originally, when Qianlong Hongying arrived in this generation, there were two heirs. One was the prince, my eldest brother Jiang Qingguang, and the other was my younger brother Jiang Yuanan. But to my surprise, my younger brother had the talent for cultivation and was very beautiful. According to custom, he has reached the fourth level of Qi Condensation at a young age."
Fourth level of Qi Condensation?
Lin Xiaolu was stunned for a moment. In terms of this strength, his talent seemed to be stronger than Dongfang Dan and Tangyuan, and a little weaker than Chen Nianyun, but it was still pretty good.
In the small courtyard, Jiang Ning continued to preach sadly: "That traitor, in order to find the way to immortality, willingly became a lackey of the Yun Bone Sect, and when he learned that his eldest brother was the prince, he could not obtain the Qianlong Hongying. Kill your brother and your father, and then ask your father Qianlong Hongying's location and his formula."
"Wait a moment."
Lin Xiaolu suddenly interrupted Jiang Ning, blinked his big eyes and asked in confusion: "Your brother doesn't know the formula?"
"I don't know." Jiang Ning shook his head: "The ancestral teachings of the Jiang family are that only when the prince inherits the throne, can he learn the formula from his father. Neither Jiang Yuanan nor I know the formula. My eldest brother had not succeeded to the throne at that time. do not know either.
That's why there was a scene later where he killed his brother and his father. At that time, my father and eldest brother were poisoned by the beast, and then my father was interrogated by him. I happened to catch this scene, and the beast fled back to Yungu Sect.
The eldest brother was the first to die from the poison. Before he died, my father told me the formula and the location, and asked me to take Qianlong Hongying to find my uncle who was the king of another small kingdom far away, and bring Qianlong Hongying to me. Hongying and Moujue told him. "
Lin Xiaolu looked confused when he heard this. He seemed to have figured it out.
"So... you are actually going to find your uncle to restore the country?"
"yes!"
"We, the people of the Tang Dynasty, originally never worshiped gods, but only worshiped the ancestors and emperors. But now that the country has been destroyed, people are like slaves. Every household has to worship the monks of the Yun Bone Sect. And my brother, because of killing The brother's act of killing his father, which was as inferior as a pig to a dog, has completely made a great contribution and has a transcendent status in the sect."
After saying that, Jiang Ning took a deep breath and calmed down, then raised her red eyes to look at the young man and said softly:
"Xiao Lu, I'm glad that you can treat me as a friend. I won't hide it from you. The Yun Bone Sect has always wanted to get Qianlong Hongying. I got the secret formula that only I know so far. I want to use the immortal method to extract the secret inside. Soul of the Azure Dragon.
They want the power of faith of the people of the Tang Dynasty and the soul of the Canglong from Qianlong Hongying, so they will continue to send monks to catch me. Two monks from the Foundation Establishment Realm have already come here, and there will probably be more later. The powerful monk comes here, me. "
Jiang Ning paused for a moment and said decisively:
"I estimate that it will be difficult for me to reach the vassal country where my uncle is. You can't help me. Although your ability is strong, it is limited by your age and cannot deal with monks above the pill formation level. So, I'm sorry, Xiaolu, we We meet by chance, I don’t want to drag you down.”
Lin Xiaolu slapped his mouth in embarrassment.
Jiang Ning sat down by a well in the backyard, took out a gold ingot from her belt and threw it to the young man. The young man caught it and looked at her doubtfully.
And she gave Lin Xiaolu a rare tearful smile:
"I escaped from the palace with Qianlong Hongying before. Because I was anxious to leave, I didn't bring any money with me, so I, the subjugated princess, was actually quite poor.
In order to rush to my uncle's place, I asked you for money so greedily. However, monks from the Yun Bone Sect have already found me. Although they are dead, there will definitely be stronger monks to catch me later. I should rush I can't go to my uncle's place anymore, so I don't need this gold ingot. "
Lin Xiaolu snorted disdainfully upon hearing this.
"Little girl, there's no reason to take back the gold you gave away. Do you look down on us who come out to fool around?"
Jiang Ning was stunned for a moment when she heard his ridiculous words. Then she laughed out loud and glared at him angrily: "Who dares to look down on you? You are so powerful. You can beat tens of thousands of monks by yourself."
The young man in front of him gave a proud "hum" and said with a smile: "What's the big deal? If you are not far from your uncle's vassal country, I will escort you all the way to ensure that you are safe and sound."
"Xiao Lu, please stop trying to be strong." Jiang Ning had tears in her eyes and said with a smile: "Yun Gu Sect is a very powerful force. There are many strong people in the sect. Even if your backer is Emei, it will not be easy to deal with. of."
"What about my boss, Li Mingru?" Lin Xiaolu suddenly asked with a smile.
"plum……"
When Jiang Ning heard the words Li Mingru, her originally soft pupils shrank instantly. She stood up from the well in excitement and looked at the young man in disbelief:
"Is your master really Li Mingru? Li Mingru who has adhered to the right path of the world for three hundred years?"
