Li Ye nodded and replied: "In a few days, the south city gate will be repaired."
Since they are not in a hurry to attack the Imperial City, White Jade City is their best base camp. With the lessons learned last time, the eldest prince ordered Jiang Huo to close the city gate early this time, just because he was afraid that the killers from the Imperial City would sneak in again. .
After thinking for a moment, he suddenly thought of something, looked at it and said, "We will be repairing here for ten days, and we should be able to recast the damaged arrows. When do you think it is best to go to the imperial city?"
Li Ye thought for a while and replied: "No hurry, let them dry out."
"Aren't the Imperial Advisors afraid that they will mobilize troops from the five regions again? Or do you have another plan?" The eldest prince looked at him and said with a smile: "You will probably feel more uncomfortable than us if you leave them alone like this."
Li Ye frowned slightly, wanting to see who in the five regions was on the same line as the second prince. Naturally, he couldn't leave early for the imperial city.
Since it was inevitable, he wanted to solve all the hidden worries at once.
Looking at the expectant eyes of everyone, Li Ye said calmly: "The imperial city should be in chaos at this time. In this case, why not let them be more chaotic?"
The eldest prince was stunned when he heard this. He shook his head without any doubt, looked at him and said: "This is getting more and more chaotic, and it is not good for us? Don't we want to cut through the mess quickly?"
"Yes in Nanyun City, but you can't be anxious when you get to the Imperial City." Li Ye replied.
This seemingly casual sentence actually laid a solid foundation for the eldest prince's subsequent ascension to the throne. Only when all those with dissident intentions jumped out could Li Ye deal with them all.
Tang Qiuyu looked at the two of them and said softly: "What the Imperial Master said is that we have already arrived at White Jade City, so don't rush to the Imperial City anymore and let them all jump out so that they can be cleaned up together!"
Li Ye looked at Tang Qiuyu and thought that after all, he was an expert who had seen the wind and rain, unlike the eldest prince and Xia Wutong who were simple-minded.
The eldest prince looked at the two men and nodded thoughtfully, and said: "Since both the Imperial Master and Tang think this matter should be slowed down, let's take a good rest here. Anyway, we have enough food and grass to last until next year."
Li Ye looked at the crowd of people in the room and said, "I see that all the shops in the city are open, and I don't see you going out for a stroll. Shopping in the snow is a kind of enjoyment."
Mu Mu curled her lips, looked at him and said, "How can I go shopping if I don't have money to spend?"
Li Ye was startled, looked at her and asked, "Didn't the female officer from the palace bring you a year's salary last time?"
Mu Mu didn't expect that Li Ye would expose her. She stared at Li Ye and said, "Just go with me."
Li Ye knew in his heart that Mu Mu was joking, so he didn't care about her. He looked at Hua Tianxia and said, "I heard from Brother Nalan that you don't have any good wine. Do you want a drink tonight?"
Hua Tianxia looked at him and smiled: "Why, aren't you afraid of being drunk all day and night again?"
Li Ye looked at her and smiled: "If I go back to Huamanlou, I am willing to get drunk again."
Hua Tian was stunned, looked at him and smiled bitterly: "The girls in the building have all gone home for the holidays. Now you only have a house full of dust. Do you want to go?"
Li Ye was startled, shook his head and said, "Although I won't care, Brother Nalan will definitely not be able to drink it."
Nalan Yu, who was sitting next to him, rolled his eyes at him and thought, "You will use me as a shield for everything."
After a pause, the eldest prince looked at everyone and said, "Let's stay here tonight and call all the generals from the famous camp. I owed you a drink yesterday."
Li Ye thought of what he said yesterday and what he had just told Ma Feihu at the South City Gate about inviting him to drink tonight. He turned to look at Nalan Yu and asked, "Brother, please help me check. The City Lord's Mansion has enough wine." If it’s not enough, I can’t go out and buy more.”
Nalan Yu heard the trust and respect in Li Ye's words, and felt warm in his heart. He smiled and replied, "I already saw it yesterday. The City Lord's Mansion is a piece of fat, and it lacks everything."
The eldest prince turned to look at Li Ye and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that the wealth Jiang Daofeng brought back would actually benefit the Imperial Master."
Looking at the envious looks of the people in the room, Li Ye said calmly: "Generalissimo, this is a major matter of the country, even though you are not the emperor yet."
Li Ye thought to himself, "I don't know how much money I have posted in Nanyun City. How dare you calculate this small profit with me?"
If everyone hadn't been squeezed out of the imperial city by the second prince, the military greetings that should be issued would have been honored by everyone long ago.
The eldest prince seemed to understand what Li Ye meant. He looked at Jiang Huo who was sitting next to him and said, "If you continue to speak, let everyone be patient for a little longer. When you return to the imperial city, every penny you owe will be paid to you." Everyone."
Jiang Huo looked at the two men and replied: "The soldiers are all people who understand the truth. No one has urged Jun Zang to do it. Please don't worry, the generalissimo and the national advisor."
"Then buy more wine and meat and give them to the soldiers in the camp, and tell the generalissimo to treat everyone to a drink!" Li Ye slammed the table in front of him.
The eldest prince turned to the three of them and said: "Open the warehouse of the city lord's palace and express your condolences to the soldiers. You have all worked hard along the way with us."
Jiang Huo bowed his hands and replied seriously: "I will obey the Grand Marshal's instructions."
Li Ye smiled and said jokingly: "It's a pity that this is not a wilderness, so we can't hunt wild animals to cook barbecue for everyone."
Unexpectedly, Mu Mu was unwilling to let him go. She looked at him and said, "We can buy some beef and mutton, or we can roast it and eat it!"
Li Ye chuckled, looked at the girls awkwardly, and replied: "Sister, go buy it, and I'll be in charge of baking it."
Unexpectedly, Mu Mu was waiting for him to say this. As soon as Li Ye finished speaking, Mu Mu took Xia Wutong and Yeluyang's hands and walked out. When he walked to the door, he looked back at Hua Tianxia and said, "Sister Hua wants to Don’t you want to go together?”
Hua Tianyi was startled, looked back at Nalan Yu who had his head lowered, and said with a chuckle: "You just need to go, I will be responsible for providing good wine tonight."
Mu Mu nodded, and the three of them walked outside the city lord's mansion laughing and joking.
Today's Baiyu City, just as Master Xuanbei in Qingliang Temple said, is colder than in previous years. The snowflakes falling on the streets are proof of this.
The only thing that made the eldest prince and Li Ye feel at ease was that all the troops no longer had to suffer the cold outside the city. Everyone finally had their own military camp, where they could cook in the stove and eat hot meals.
Food is the most important thing for the people, and so are the soldiers.
...
After getting up in the morning, Li Ye took a shower and went to sit quietly in front of the living room. Thinking about the scene of a group of people drinking happily last night, he couldn't help but shook his head and said, "Fortunately, I didn't drink too much."
It was midnight, and the living room was quiet. Not even Tang Qiuyu and Hua Tianxia got up, let alone Mu Mu, who was addicted to sleep.
After walking out of the living room and walking down the stairs, Li Ye came to the garden of the City Lord's Mansion. He looked up at the snowflakes in the sky and thought that one year would be easy. In the blink of an eye, it has been almost a year since his husband and mother returned to Fengyun City.
He took out the purple bamboo sword, held it in his hand, gently held a sword flower, and slashed it diagonally against the snowflakes in the cold wind.
At this time, he could no longer tell which was the bamboo sword and which was the arm. The bamboo sword had already become one with the arm, and he could easily catch the falling trajectory without him having to specifically feel the snowflakes in the wind.
"It's just a bamboo sword after all!" Standing in the wind, he sighed softly, took out his handkerchief and gently wiped off the snowflakes and water stains on the bamboo sword, then carefully put it away.
It's time to change to Ruoshui Sword.
I had no choice but to use the bamboo sword because I didn't have enough control over the strength of the swordsmanship, and I wasn't strong enough to use the iron sword to feel the scattered snowflakes on the Tianshan Mountains.
With a slight kick, it shattered to pieces.
Now he had a feeling that he could control an iron sword, and he wanted to try it.
Gently, he took out the wrapped Ruoshui sword. The scabbard was still made of the python skin that Xiaobai and Lao Yuan had beaten back.
The moment the Ruoshui Sword was drawn out, a cold air came out that was even colder than the wind and snow outside. He stroked it gently and murmured to himself: "It's been a long time since I've used you."
I don’t know how much it will take to achieve the effect of the bamboo sword if I switch to Ruoshui sword this time.
If the water sword sounds weak, it actually weighs almost forty kilograms, which is considered a heavy sword in the Five Realms.
But compared to the unfinished heavy sword, it was still much lighter.
Holding a sword flower, Li Ye swung the Ruoshui sword in his hand like a bamboo sword, facing the wind and snow in the sky...
The first time he changed swords, he was really uncomfortable because the bamboo sword he used before was already as light as a heavy weight in his hand, like an arm and a finger, but when he first changed to a water sword, he still couldn't find the artistic conception of a heavy weight in his hand.
"I haven't practiced for a long time. It's like sailing against the current. I still retreat a lot." It seems that it will take some more time and effort to adapt to the Ruoshui sword.
However, at this time, he is no longer as clumsy as he was when he used an iron sword to cut snow on Tianshan Mountain.
He has already understood the secret, and he only needs a suitable opportunity and finds the principle of lifting the weight with ease, and then he can complete the snow-cutting like Mr.
One hundred swords, one thousand swords...ten thousand swords, he changed his left hand and slashed out again.
...
Tang Qiuyu and Hua Tianxia were drunk last night, but Xia Wutong didn't drink much.
She got up early, lay lazily on the bed for a while, then washed and dressed, went out and walked to the living room, but there was no sign of Li Ye. When she looked up, she saw someone dancing a sword in the snow in the garden downstairs.
"What kind of swordsmanship is this? Why is it as weak as the swordsmanship that my junior brother danced at Xuantian Temple?" He walked out of the living room and looked at her carefully. He was startled. He was such an idiot again.
I don’t know how to cook a pot of porridge or heat a pot of tea early in the morning.
He even foolishly ran to practice swordsmanship in the snow, just like he was at Xuantian Temple.
Xia Wutong never understood that Li Ye, who was so poor in cultivation, had perfected his physical skills, so even a master like Yeluqi could only compete with him.
Unknowingly, I stood under the eaves and watched quietly.
I saw that Li Ye, who had become more active in practice, had no time to think about cutting off a few snowflakes.
The trace of true energy leaking out of the Dantian combined with the cultivation of the eighth level of the formless dharma body circled the snow in the garden and once again wrapped himself into a big snow cocoon.
Xia Wutong, who was standing under the eaves, was secretly sizing up whether he could roll up the snow in the garden like Li Ye did and wrap it up into a snow cocoon.
It seems that there are not many people around you who can find swordsmanship that is as impenetrable as your junior brother's, right?
She had to ask the master.
Could it be said that practicing Buddhism's physical skills is really comparable to the golden elixir, Nascent Soul, or even distraction?
When she was lost in thought, a pair of hands covered her eyes from behind. "Guess who I am?"
Xia Wutong was stunned and said with a smile: "Who else can be so bold except the princess?"
"Oh, it's not fun, can't you pretend you don't know?" Mu Mu's voice came from behind, and the hands that covered her eyes were retracted.
Pulling Mu Mu over, Xia Wutong pointed at Li Ye in the garden and said, "I just saw him, it seems he has changed into an iron sword!"
Mu Mu was stunned and blurted out: "Brother, doesn't he always use bamboo swords to practice swordsmanship?" He thought to himself, but without stopping, he went to pinch a few snowballs under the eaves and gave a few to Xia Wutong. .
"Hit him hard..." Before he could finish his words, the snow ball in his hand had already flown out, like an arrow from Li Xuan.
Xia Wutong was just stunned for a moment and flew the snowball in his hand towards the snowball wrapping Li Ye.
In an instant, several white shadows flew towards the rotating snow cocoon.
