The three kingdoms of Yong, Liang, and Ji joined forces to attack Henan, with Yong as the leader and Liang and Ji as their followers. For this reason, Li Cunxu of Yong also proposed the strategy of attacking Yu with Wu.
Wu Wang Ji Chongguang knew the strategy of making friends from far away and attacking at close range, but at the same time, he also understood the principle of losing one's lips and teeth.
However, in the alliance document sent by the Yong Kingdom, Li Cunxu mentioned the forty cities of the Yu Kingdom as his wish to marry "Princess Fan Yu", which made Wu Wangji Chongguang hesitate.
For any emperor, the temptation to expand territory is irresistible. If he can acquire forty cities in Yu, Ji Chongguang is confident that he will more than double the national power of Wu and annex the south within three to five years. The country of Yue is just around the corner.
As for Li Cunxu being a round older than Ji Chongguang himself, these are not important.
"I didn't expect that Ji Chongguang is still hesitant, and Princess Fan Yu is a little impatient!" Lin Sumo laughed and said.
Princess Fan Yu's face turned green and red for a while. Although she had long known that she could not make the decision on her own marriage, she was extremely resistant to marrying a bad old man who was more than ten years older than her father. .
Just at this time, the news of the birth of the "Elixir of Immortality" reached the Kingdom of Wu, and Princess Fan Yu left the Kingdom of Wu on the pretext of grabbing the "Elixir of Immortality" for Ji Chongguang, with the intention of escaping from the marriage.
It's just that she never thought that she would end up in Li Cunxu's territory. Otherwise, as Princess Fan Yu, there would be no need to hide from the Beifu Division.
Princess Fan Yu was speechless. Thinking of this, she waved her hand and turned away, not even wanting the Pan Ying Sword.
The Dajiang Gang's backyard is close to Luoshui, so the exit of the secret passage is in a secret place beside Luoshui. And there is a building boat parked on the water at the exit.
Previously in the secret passage, the two deacons Jiang and Zhu saw that Princess Fan Yu and Lin Sumo were getting along well, and they did not dare to stir up trouble. They just followed from a distance. Now that they came out of the secret passage, they immediately went up. He untied the ship's cable and invited Princess Fan Yu in.
The space inside the building boat was not large and could only accommodate three or four people. The two deacons Jiang and Zhu and Fang Xu sat on the deck very wisely, leaving the space inside the boat to Princess Fan Yu and Lin Sumo.
The building boat went down the Luoshui River and drifted towards the north of Luoyang City.
"I don't know your surname?"
"'Hanshan Military Mansion', Lin Sumo!"
When Princess Fan Yu heard this, she couldn't help but look at Lin Sumo differently. Although the names of 'Hanshan Military Mansion' and Lin Sumo were not known to everyone in the world, Princess Fan Yu happened to have heard of them.
Princess Fan Yu sneered: "As Commander Lin, he actually bullied a weak woman!"
Lin Sumo laughed and said with a smile: "If the princess is a weak woman, no one in the nine kingdoms of Tianlu would dare to claim to be strong. Judging from the swordsmanship of the princess, she must have come from the Sword Master's sect?"
There is no more news about the "Sword Master" Huan Daoxu who retired to seclusion in the Changle Academy. The Changle Academy was built by King Wu Ji Chongguang in imitation of the "Jixia Academy" in the Qi State during the Warring States Period. It was originally intended to provide talents for the Wu State.
However, ten years ago, Huan Daoxu broke into the Wu Palace alone. After that, the 'Changle Academy' became private property under Huan Daoxu's name. Ji Chongguang was naturally happy to see the success. With such a great god sitting in the Wu Kingdom, the country's power has been as stable as Mount Tai since then.
Princess Fan Yu's swordsmanship is sharp and has everyone's style. She has already reached the realm of cultivation at a young age. She obviously comes from a famous master.
Princess Fan Yu said proudly: "Yes, I am the close disciple of the Sword Master!"
"Long admire!"
Lin Sumo's response was very perfunctory. Compared to the disciple of the Sword Master, Lin Sumo was more interested in the Panying Sword in his hand.
Princess Fan Yu couldn't help but said angrily: "Master Lin, can the Panying Sword be returned to me?"
Lin Sumo smiled and said: "Why should Lin return what he robbed based on his own ability? Besides, for the sake of the princess's wealth and life, it is better to keep this sword with me from now on!"
Panying is also one of the famous "Five Swords of Yue". However, its other name seems to be more familiar to people, and that is "Shengxie", a sword that has an evil aura from the moment it is cast.
Every inch you cast makes it more evil.
For some reason, the sword in Lin Sumo's hand does not have the evil aura in the legend. It seems to be sealed by something, or it is a magical object that has been hidden from view. It looks like an ordinary sword, at most it looks sharper. .
However, even so, Pan Ying is an unknown sword. No one who holds this sword will have a happy ending!
"You... rogue!"
Princess Fan Yu has never seen such a shameless person. If she didn't know that she couldn't beat him, Princess Fan Yu would definitely pry open Lin Sumo's face to see how thick he is.
Seeing that she couldn't get the Pan Ying Sword back, Princess Fan Yu had to find another way and said, "It's not impossible for Commander Lin to want the Pan Ying Sword. All he needs to do is exchange it for the 'Elixir of Immortality'!"
Lin Sumo smiled, stretched out his hand and said, "Bring the scabbard!"
Princess Fan Yu was stunned when she heard this, but still handed over the scabbard.
"Qiang!"
Pan Ying returned to the sheath, and Lin Sumo put it into his waist.
Princess Fan Yu said: "The 'Elixir of Immortality'——"
Lin Sumo smiled and said: "The 'Elixir of Immortality' is just a scam, and it contains a big conspiracy. Princess, it's better not to get involved, go to bed early, and go back to Wu Kingdom early tomorrow morning!"
After finishing speaking, Lin Sumo stood up and left.
Seeing this, Princess Fan Yu asked: "Master Lin, where are you going?"
"The observatory is here, and the Taoist meeting between Li Shentong and An Daolin is about to begin!" Lin Sumo walked out of the hatch without looking back.
While talking, the building boat has entered the north bank of Luoshui. On the bank, a seven-story high-rise building is built near the water. It is the 'Star Observation Deck'.
The dangerous building is a hundred feet high, and you can pick the stars with your hands.
The observatory is not as tall as a 100-foot-high building, but it is more advantageous because of its open terrain. It was originally used by Yong Guosi to observe celestial phenomena and calculate the solar terms, but tonight it was borrowed by Li Shenzong as a place to discuss Taoism.
Princess Fan Yu also followed Lin Sumo off the building boat, taking three steps at a time and then two steps to catch up with Lin Sumo.
Lin Sumo looked back and heard Princess Fan Yu say: "How can you miss such a grand event? Besides, what you said just now is just your one-sided words and may not be credible. Therefore, I have not seen the 'Elixir of Immortality'. I am I won’t let you leave with the Panying Sword!”
Hearing this, Lin Sumo couldn't help but laugh and said: "Lin couldn't be happier to have beauty traveling with you!"
The Star Observation Deck is located on the northern edge of Luoyang City. It starts from the north shore of Luoshui River, passes through Cangcheng on the north bank, and then goes east beyond the boundary of Luoyang.
When Lin Sumo sent Fang Xu here, he was already out of sight of Beifusi. As long as he left Luoyang City, he would be completely safe. So, after landing, Fang Xu said goodbye to Lin Sumo, turned around and disappeared into the darkness.
At the zenith of the moon, the north bank of Luoshui River is already crowded with people, but most of them are people from the rivers and lakes, holding swords and showing off their power. Maybe this is Luoyang City, Yongdu, under the emperor's feet, and the Beifu Si Ji is famous. , the talents in these arenas have converged.
Lin Sumo protected Princess Fan Yu and walked to the star observatory. However, she saw that there were three floors of people inside and three floors outside. There was not even a place to insert needles. She could only take a look from a distance and saw only the audience. The star platform is brightly lit tonight, swaying under the moonlight.
