Li Ye went out to the palace early the next morning after the Huamanlou night banquet.
On this day of the great court meeting, the ministers were told by the eunuch that the emperor had something to do and had a day off. Not to mention the generals guarding the city, even the left and right ministers were confused.
This is the only time since the emperor ascended the throne to take charge.
For a while, the ministers were talking a lot.
Some said that the emperor was sad that the prince had been beheaded and had no intention of going to court.
Some say that the emperor is discussing the war in Beihai with the imperial adviser. After all, Luoshui has been lost, and the military situation under Baxia is critical.
No matter what the monarchs and ministers suspected, the eunuch blasted a group of monarchs and ministers out of the golden palace after reading out the emperor's decree.
"Everyone, please go home and rest early. If you have any matters, we can discuss them in court tomorrow!"
Looking at the crowd of bustling courtiers, the eunuch said a word and then walked towards the royal study.
The left minister glanced at the right minister and asked, "Do you want to see the emperor?"
The right minister glanced at him and said with a faint smile: "Since that boy is back, we old guys don't have to worry about it anymore. Why are you so anxious?"
After saying that, he walked out of the palace.
The left minister shook his head and followed the right minister outside the palace.
Come to think of it, back then the monarch and his ministers were fighting in the southern border to quell the attacks of the prairie kings. For example, the first thing the imperial master did when he returned to the court was to kill the prince who was in civil strife at that time.
This is something that the emperor cannot do and the ministers dare not even think about it.
On this day, no one knew who the emperor summoned in the imperial study, and the ministers did not see the figure of the imperial advisor who was supposed to go to court.
Rumors spread in the imperial city for two days that the Imperial Preceptor returned to court and beheaded the Prince of Beihai. The servants who bought vegetables in the Imperial Prefect's Mansion heard about it and quickly returned home to tell Ye Zhiqiu.
Ye Zhiqiu was so frightened that he pulled Li Hongxiu out to ask questions. Li Hongxiu looked at her and said angrily: "This is a matter between the Imperial Master and the Emperor. Why are you so worried?"
The woman in white looked at everyone's uneasiness and said quietly: "If the Imperial Master doesn't say anything, I just don't want you to worry. Not to mention, if I just behead a prince, what if I destroy the dynasty?"
Ye Zhiqiu and Lin Yueru looked at the woman in white and were speechless.
Nangong Ruyu looked at Li Xiaoxue and comforted her: "Don't be afraid, the master is very powerful. Even monsters in the distraction realm were killed by the master with one sword. Isn't that the scabbard my sister used?"
Xia Wutong looked at everyone, frowned slightly, and said coldly: "Junior brother wanted to kill the second brother back then. If Grandpa Huang hadn't begged for mercy..."
She knew that Li Ye was doing it for her brother's good and did not want to bring harm to the dynasty.
Ye Zhiqiu looked at her and sighed, without asking any more questions. Even Princess Wutong doesn't care. How can she, an outsider, keep pestering her?
Li Ye came back from the palace after noon and stayed at home for a whole day and night.
Accompanying Li Xiaoxue, Shangguan Qiu Ming and Lin Yueru, and chatting with Ye Zhiqiu and the Master for an hour.
After dinner, a group of people went back to the house to rest. Li Ye and the woman in white talked in the living room late at night. It was not until the moon was at the top that the two of them went back to the house to rest.
Early the next morning, when Ye Zhiqiu asked Li Xiaoxue to wake Li Ye up for breakfast, he discovered that Li Ye had left the Imperial Master's Mansion with the princess early in the morning, and the two of them were heading towards Baxia.
When the woman in white told everyone the news, Ye Zhiqiu fell softly to the ground and shed two lines of tears while looking at the north.
"My son, you didn't say goodbye to your mother!" Ye Zhiqiu muttered to himself.
The master looked at her and sighed, and Fu Nai also said: "My child is going to the battlefield. If he doesn't say goodbye to us, he doesn't want to see everyone crying."
Li Hongxiu, who came to see her, pulled her up and said softly: "This is not the first time. He will come back after this fight. Why are you so sad?"
Nangong Ruyu glanced at the woman in white, as if she knew her master would do this, looked at her and asked, "Mother, when will we leave?"
The woman in white glanced at her and said with a smile: "Why are you so anxious? We'll wait until your master comes back."
Nangong Ruyu nodded, looked at Li Hongxiu and said with a smile: "Grandma, don't be sad. When the master comes back, Yu'er and her mother will help him fight."
Li Hongxiu gently held her in his arms and asked in a low voice: "Little guy, do you know your master's secret?"
Nangong Ruyu glanced at the woman in white, shook her head and replied: "How could Yu'er know? Only the princess sister knows about this matter, neither my mother nor I know."
Very simply, the little girl cut off Li Hongxiu and Ye Zhiqiu's attempts to test her.
Li Hongxiu looked at Ye Zhiqiu and smiled bitterly: "It seems that only the princess knows about this, otherwise he would not have taken the princess to the battlefield in a hurry."
Ye Zhiqiu nodded and replied: "It seems that we can only wait until Mr. comes back."
Nangong Ruyu looked at her and smiled and said: "Master must have given the elixir to Master. Grandma, you two stay at home and wait for a breakthrough."
Li Hongxiu looked at her and smiled and said: "Yu'er, you are such a little monster. At just that age, you are about to reach the late stage of Jindan. I estimate that you will be able to break through before you are ten years old."
The woman in white glanced at Nangong Ruyu and smiled faintly: "Yu'er, don't be anxious." She had the same idea as Li Ye. This breakthrough was too fast, which was not a good thing after all.
...
Li Ye and Xia Wutong went to the military headquarters early in the morning to pick up four military horses, and the two hurried out of the imperial city.
The two of them did not rest along the way, changing horses constantly, and finally walked into the gate of Baxia City just after midnight.
Under the leadership of the city guards, the two came to the city lord's palace, but were told that the marshal, the general and Mr. Mo had led a group of practitioners to the north gate of Baxia City.
"Why are you going to the North Gate?" Li Ye looked at the guards at the City Lord's Mansion and said, "Where is General Wang from the Chongsu Camp?"
"Going to fight the enemy smoke army in Beihai! We have a lot of casualties here these days, even the practitioners from Qingcheng are killed and wounded!" The guard looked at Li Ye, with anger burning in his eyes.
Li Ye was startled and blurted out: "What kind of arena are you fighting? Isn't it just a fight?"
The guard looked at him and replied: "Master National Preceptor, this is what the other party proposed. There is nothing you can do about it, sir, and the generalissimo."
Li Ye was shocked, pointed to the tallest tower in the city lord's mansion and said, "Take me there!"
Xia Wutong was shocked, thinking that Qingcheng was his sect, was something big going to happen?
The three groups of three hurriedly climbed up the tower in the city lord's mansion.
Li Ye looked in the direction of the North City Gate and quietly closed his eyes... With his consciousness released, he headed towards the North City Gate and explored further.
...
Having reached the ninth level of cultivating the formless body, he has reached the state of refining his mind. With his spiritual consciousness released, he can see everything within a thirty-mile radius, as if he is actually there.
I saw three arenas of different heights set up in a large open space twenty miles outside Baxia City.
In the air, Li Ye looked down.
Each stage was one foot high. Standing on the stage was a sergeant holding a broadsword. Judging from his clothing, he did not appear to be a soldier of the imperial dynasty.
His sword was stained with blood, and there were two corpses of soldiers from the Five Realms Dynasty under the ring. Because the corpses were facing down, Li Ye couldn't see their faces clearly...
Seeing this, Li Ye, who was on top of the tower, was filled with rage. He took out the iron bow from the sword box and took out a few iron arrows that were reforged in the sky.
Looking up at the second Leiru, I saw that the platform was two feet high.
A fierce battle is taking place on the stage, between a North Sea cultivator and a Five Realm cultivator, both of whom are in the Nascent Soul realm...
The cultivator from the Five Realms was dressed in green. The two of them were defeated by the hidden weapon of the cultivator in black robe from the North Sea. They were slashed by the opponent's sword. When Li Yelai called, he saw a left arm flying into the air. When the man in green raised his head, When shouting.
"Hu Ge! Brother, hold on!" Li Ye shouted from the high tower of the City Lord's Mansion. At this time, he had already drawn his bow and arrow, aiming in the direction outside the north city gate.
I saw the opponent kick Hu Ge off the ring with his broken arm, and shouted wildly: "Who will fight me?"
When Li Ye saw that Hu Ge had landed and his life was not in danger, he turned his attention to the third arena.
The stage was three feet high, and Nalan Yu was fighting hard with his opponent with a long knife made by himself. Both of them were distracted.
The difference is that Nalan Yu is in the early stage of distraction, and the other party is in the middle stage of distraction.
"I defeat you easily, how can you resist?" The other practitioner laughed.
When Nalan Yu saw this, he was horrified and looked at the other party with dull eyes. At the moment, Nalan Yu is only at the second level of distraction, while his opponent is already at the fifth level. This is an absolute suppression of the realm.
"General Nalan, surrender!" Everyone sighed, looking at Nalan Yu's appearance, they couldn't help but sigh. Although this young man is extraordinary, he will still lose in front of the fifth level of distraction.
But at this moment, Nalan Yu glanced at Hu Ge on the ground and shouted: "I want to avenge my brother!
"Go to hell!" The other party roared, his body moved, and his true energy erupted into a beast's roar, like thunder, with a heart-stopping ferocity that made those who heard it feel chilled and trembled in their bodies.
"I thought you had some means, but that's all." Nalan Yu slashed away with his sword.
"It's not certain who will kill whom!" The other party laughed heartily as he spoke.
A ray of light suddenly shot out from the cuff, and five stars shot out in succession. The entire arena was surrounded by five starlights, and a galaxy seemed to appear in front of Nalan Yu.
"The opponent used a hidden weapon!" The practitioners of the Five Realms Dynasty shouted wildly.
I saw a burst of power from the opponent, hitting Nalan Yu's body. A stream of blood shot out from Nalan Yu's body. Nalan Yu, who was injured by the opponent's hidden weapon, was stepped on by the opponent.
"Go to hell!" The other party didn't wait for Nalan Yu to beg for mercy, raised the sword in his hand, and chopped it down on his head.
Everything is between lightning and flint.
Even the gentleman sitting a hundred feet away had no time to save him, and when he saw Nalan Yu, he was about to be killed by the opponent's sword.
For a time, tens of thousands of soldiers on both sides fell silent, staring blankly at the tragedy that was about to happen again on the ring.
"Buzz!"
A clear chant came from the ears of tens of thousands of generals, and it was like a clear sound from the sky that reached everyone's ears.
Before the long sword on the ring could fall, a black arrow was seen flying from the direction of Ziba Lower City.
With the power of thunder and lightning, he pierced the void and flew towards the ring...
The soldiers of Beihai let out a cry of surprise, reminding the practitioners on the ring to pay attention.
The generals of the Five Domains Dynasty cheered. Those who had been on the battlefield in southern Xinjiang all knew where the arrow came from.
The cultivator on the stage chuckled lightly, and continued to slash down with the long sword in his hand.
When your cultivation has reached the middle stage of distraction, how can you kill yourself even with an iron arrow?
The iron arrows in the air suddenly accelerated as they approached the ring, as if with divine help.
Under the gazes of the soldiers on both sides, and in the indifferent eyes of the practitioners on the ring.
The iron arrow shot into the chest of the cultivator who was in the middle of the distraction at lightning speed.
Amidst the exclamations of the soldiers on both sides, the huge impact of the iron arrow pushed the practitioner who was hit by the arrow out of the ring, and then pushed him out again, until his body was pulled down and fell down the wide ring...
Before the cultivator who was hit by the arrow could hit the ground, a huge explosion sounded in the air.
In front of tens of thousands of people, the mid-career practitioner was shot by an arrow from outside and exploded into pieces!
"Buzz! Buzz!!"
Then two arrows sounded!
Breaking through the clouds and fog, piercing the air, there were two burning smells passing through again...
The two soldiers and practitioners, who were still standing on the ring and exclaimed, were hit by arrows in their bodies!
The iron arrows made a huge explosion and flew the two bodies forward into the air. Tens of thousands of soldiers and practitioners from both sides watched helplessly as the three living people were shot by three iron arrows that pierced the clouds and mist in just a breath. It exploded into hundreds of pieces.
At one time, the three arenas were stained with blood.
The generals and tens of thousands of soldiers on both sides covered their mouths and were speechless for a long time.
Nalanyu, who had narrowly escaped death, glanced south, grinned and said, "You are finally back?"
After saying that, he slowly walked down from the ring to the second ring, picked up the broken arm of Hu Ge, and walked forward!
At the moment when tens of thousands of generals had not come back to their senses, a cold voice came from everyone's ears.
"I'll be here today. If I want to fight, I'll accompany you tomorrow!"
