In the end, the outcome of the Battle of Weizhou did not exceed their expectations. Although the coalition forces composed of the four kingdoms of Shu, Chu, Wu, and Qi came fiercely, they were unable to gain any advantage in the face of the roaring Yellow River and could only regretfully stop. .
The five-point Jin kingdom was officially formed, which could be regarded as a temporary stop to this turmoil.
It is said that great chaos must be followed by great rule. Although it seems inappropriate to put it here, the five parties that jointly carved up the original first vassal state also slowed down their pace and began to enter the country after gaining huge expansion in land and population. A period of steady development.
They need time to digest these lands and people into their own strength.
And if you want to develop this land that has just experienced war, you can't do without a very important thing - money!
Qi country is short of money.
Originally, the fiefdom of Qi State was not large, and its wealth could only be regarded as average. A few years ago, when the empress was in power, she was heavily attacked by Zhu Youzhen of Liang State, and was once beaten to Fengxiang City.
Postwar reconstruction almost emptied Qi's savings.
But Li Maozhen is not worried, because he still has a big killer weapon in his hand - Longquan Treasure Box.
As one of the few people in the world who understands the secrets of the Longquan treasure, Li Maozhen knows very well that this is the capital left by Xizong to revive the Tang Dynasty.
And now, he is preparing to use these things to build the Qi Kingdom.
Opening the Longquan Treasure Box was not difficult for Li Maozhen, who had obtained the secret method from the Twelve Cave. He easily resolved the voodoo mechanism that once directly caused the ghost king whose strength had vaguely exceeded the Great Heavenly Throne to commit suicide in hatred.
Ignoring the Miao Border Holy Gu that turned into ashes, he took out the clay puppet placed in the box, rubbed it, and murmured: "Sichuan soil..."
And just as he was opening the Longquan treasure box, thousands of miles away in Shu, in the middle of a cave with a quiet environment, in the arms of a huge statue, a young man whose clothing style looked very Miao opened his eyes.
…
…
Li Maozhen did not bring too many people with him when he went to Shu to search for treasures, but the news that the Longquan treasure box had been opened naturally could not be hidden from the bad guys who had been watching him.
So this news was naturally sent to Li Xingyun and others.
Jinyang.
"Li Maozhen has set off to find the Longquan treasure. How should we deal with it?"
Ji Ruxue came to Jinyang with the news.
Although she is a maid beside the empress, her heart has always been towards Li Xingyun. And the fact that the empress was able to let her out seemed to secretly indicate some attitude tendencies.
"Longquan Treasure!"
Li Xingyun chewed on these four words and recalled the past. All the storms that gathered around him seemed to be because of this thing. Whether it was the original fight for the Longquan Sword, or the repeated persecution from the Xuanming Sect and Tongwen Hall, the ultimate goal was for this legendary treasure that could help the revival of the Tang Dynasty.
"No, this thing is a disaster!"
He said categorically, "It has caused countless people to go crazy and scramble for it before they were born. Once it is really opened by Li Maozhen, the consequences will be disastrous. I am afraid it will cause huge turmoil far beyond the Four Kingdoms' attack on Jin! I will never allow it. This happens!”
His words were also recognized by Zhang Zifan, Lu Linxuan and others, and they all expressed their willingness to help him.
But Li Xingyun refused.
"Brother Zhang, the Jin Kingdom is in dire straits and is waiting to be revitalized. The people are in panic and cannot do without you."
"But……"
Zhang Zifan wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by Li Cunyi, "You brat, I'm right. Your identity is different now, and you can't run around in the world all day long. I'll leave this kind of thing to Wu Uncle me!"
"Fifth Uncle...you mean, you won't stay and help me?" Zhang Zifan asked in shock.
"Of course, I didn't stay in Tongwen Hall when Li Siyuan was here!"
Li Cunyi's natural answer left Zhang Zifan speechless for a while.
"Okay, stop arguing. Brother, you should stay and help Brother Zhang. This time, I will go with the two Corpse Ancestors and Xue'er."
Li Xingyun finally made the decision.
…
…
Shu land.
Along the way, Li Maozhen also told Chi Yao about the Longquan Treasure Box and the Longquan Treasure.
After Xizong buried the treasure, in order to keep the secret, he specially found the Holy Boy from the Twelve Cave in the Miao Territory, asked him to write down the location of the treasure, and then used the secret method of the Twelve Cave to put him into a deep sleep.
If the Longquan treasure box is not opened for a day, he will not wake up for a day.
Once he woke up, finding the heir of Datang and helping him find the treasure became the first mission engraved in his mind.
Therefore, at this moment, not only Li Maozhen and others are looking for this holy boy, but the holy boy after awakening is also looking for the person who is deeply imprinted in his mind.
His memory is still incomplete. Only after meeting Li Xingyun can he fully recall everything from that year.
Li Maozhen relied on Guidun Liuying to track the traces of the Holy Child, and behind him, Li Xingyun and his party were also following him quietly, hoping that the mantis would catch the cicada and the oriole behind.
Chengdu.
In the end, it was Li Maozhen and his party who met the Holy Child first.
However, because Li Maozhen was not the person in Shengtong's mind, Shengtong was not only unwilling to follow him, but was frightened by the tattoo of the twelve caves on his arm and ran away.
Whoosh!
How could Li Maozhen allow the duck he got to fly?
He picked up a chopstick from the small table next to him, flicked it, and stabbed the holy boy in the calf.
clang!
A long sword flew from a distance and happened to be inserted in front of the holy boy, blocking the chopsticks for him.
"Oh my god, King Qi is so angry that he would do this to a little child. It's really a shame..."
Li Xingyun clapped his hands and appeared on the nearby roof. While teasing, he motioned to Ji Ruxue and Hou Qing to take Shengtong away quickly.
His movements were not considered covert, but Li Maozhen was not in a hurry to stop him. He raised his head and glanced around Li Xingyun and the two corpse ancestors behind him, and asked: "The lesson I gave you last time was not enough." ?”
"As the saying goes, people should look at each other with new eyes after three days of separation. We haven't seen each other for a few months after all. You can't always look at people with the same old eyes!"
Li Xingyun was trying his best to delay time for Ji Ruxue and Shengtong.
"Then let me see how much progress you have made!"
Before Li Maozhen could finish her words, her figure suddenly disappeared. In a flash, she appeared in front of Li Xingyun as if teleporting, and slapped her head with a palm full of inner strength!
Facing this palm, even though Li Xingyun had already secretly mastered the Seven Star Technique, the huge gap in strength still meant that he could not avoid being thrown away.
But he was not fighting alone. Just as Li Xingyun took advantage of the situation to fly back, Corpse Ancestor Hanba was also evacuating. However, while leaving, Hanba threw a flower that seemed to be made of paper in the direction of Li Maozhen. flowers.
