“Perhaps yuanjing thinks he’s seen hope, or perhaps he’s hiding something,” Luo Yuheng said faintly. To me, no matter what he’s planning, it has nothing to do with me. I cultivate my Dao, he cultivates his longevity.”
She knew that Emperor Yuan jing might have some secrets, but she did not delve into it. She cultivated with Da Feng’s fate and was in a cooperative relationship with Emperor Yuan jing. If she delved into her partner’s secrets, it would only cause their relationship to fall into. deadlock, or even turn against each other … Xu Qi ‘an understood what the state preceptor meant.
After a moment of silence, Xu Qi ‘an stopped dwelling on this topic and said, ” I used the talisman sword in Jianzhou. How do I contact the state preceptor in the future? ”
The subtext was, “hurry up and give me another talisman sword.”
The talisman sword contained the power of Luo Yuheng’s sword, so it was quite difficult to make it. It couldn’t be given to someone just because he wanted to.
That was why Xu Qi ‘an asked her for it. It was a test.
“It’s extremely difficult to make a talisman sword, and it can’t be completed overnight …” Luo Yuheng frowned.
After a pause, she said in an indifferent tone, “”1 just so happen to have one, so I might as well keep it.”
With a wave of his sleeve, a talisman sword quietly lay on the table.
He really gave it to her … Xu Qi ‘an looked at the talisman sword with complicated feelings.
In the Imperial garden.
In the attic, on the observation platform.
Emperor Yuan jing stood with his hands behind his back and looked down at the Imperial garden in the storm. He smiled and said, “”Although the flowers in the palace are extremely beautiful, they are too delicate and can not withstand the wind and rain.”
In the rain, clusters of bright flowers bent their bodies, their petals floating with the rain.
Behind him, Wei Yuan sipped his tea and said, “”Flowers are meant to please the master. The softer it is, the more the master likes it. His Majesty likes them to be weak but also laughed at them for being unable to bear the destruction. It really is unreasonable.”
Emperor Yuan jing, who had his back to Wei Yuan, smiled with a sharp glint in his eyes.”To this one, it’s enough to just protect the most beautiful flower. Wei
Qing, what do you think?”
Wei Yuan’s lips twitched into a fake smile.
Emperor yuanjing continued to watch the rain and sighed, ”
“After the turmoil in Chuzhou, King Huai died in battle, Ji Li and Zhi Gu died,
Zhu Jiu was also seriously injured, and the North was weak. The witchcratt cult had come with a menacing momentum this time. If the demon barbarian territory in the North fell, the borders of Da Feng from the North to the East would be surrounded by the witchcraft cult.
“Wei Qing, you’re a master of military tactics, what’s your opinion?”
Wei Yuan answered without hesitation, ” of course the Imperial court will send troops to the northeast. However, we can not miss out on the benefits. The barbarians in the North have been causing trouble at the border for many years. This time, it’s Da Feng’s turn to cut their flesh and suck their blood.
Emperor Yuan jing smiled. the Hanlin Academy wants to cultivate military books. I’ve read them, but there’s nothing new about them. When the Barbarian envoy enters the capital, they’ll laugh at me. Wei Qing is a rare commander talent, there is no harm in going to the Han Lin Academy to give her some guidance.”
The military books were a part of showing the diplomatic mission their “national power.” The more military books there were, the more military arts Masters there were. Its importance was second only to the artillery exercise.
The military tactics that Da Feng was using today were still left behind by the scholars of Yun Lu Academy in the past, and then there was the ” six classics on military tactics ” written by the current generation’s great scholar of military tactics, Zhang Shen.
On the other hand, Wei Yuan, who was recognized as a peerless talent, did not say a word.
Wei Yuan shook his head.
Emperor Yuan jing was not angry at all and said, ”
“The Directorate wanted to hold a cultural meeting in Luhu today, but a heavy rain hindered it. I plan to wait for the diplomatic mission to enter the capital before having the Imperial College hold a cultural meeting. When the time comes, Wei Qing can come and visit.”
Wei Yuan nodded.
In the next two days, the news of the War in the North and the Barbarian invasion began to spread in the capital under the Imperial court’s urging. It first spread to the scholars and officials, then to the merchants and the marketplace.
For a time, the bureaucracy, the scholars, the Academy, the teahouse, the restaurant, the brothel, the Imperial Academy … It set off a heated discussion, a heated discussion like a wild tide.
The common people of the city harbored hatred towards the diplomatic mission of the demon barbarians, and were against Da Feng’s intention to send troops to assist the demon barbarians.
The love and hate of the commoners were straightforward, and they did not care about the big picture. They only knew that the Barbarian demons of the North were the mortal enemies of Da Feng. Since the founding of the country six hundred years ago, there had been many big and small battles.
Just the recent case, a few months after the Chu Zhou city massacre, the demon barbarians in the North had been causing trouble at the border, burning, killing, and plundering.
On the other hand, the noble class had a higher vision and were more rational and objective. Their warlike thoughts and wait-and-see thoughts clashed fiercely, unlike the common people who were almost against it.
In fact, it was not only the capital city. When the Imperial court decided to send troops, they had already sent a court bulletin to the various states. It would not take long for the local officials to push the idea of the leader and make it public.
In such a lively environment, a diplomatic mission from the North took an official ship and followed the canal to the dock of the capital.
This diplomatic mission was made up of the elites of the twelve barbarian tribes and the experts of the six tribes.
The two leaders were young men. One of them had white hair and a handsome face that was unusual among the barbarians. He always had a smile on his face and his eves were always squinted.
Peman xilou was the eldest son of the leader of the Whitehead tribe of the twelve tribes of the Barbarian race.
The white-haired man was known for his intelligence and was considered an anomaly among the barbarians.
He had a deep understanding of the culture of the Central Plains. When the barbarians raided the border of Chuzhou, they only robbed women and food. He was the only one who didn’t want food or beauties, only books.
The Four Books and Five Classics, biographies of scholars, and even some boring stories were all available to him. He loved books as much as his life.
The other one was the princess of the Fox race, Huang Xian er. She was wearing a northern style leather dress. The skirt only reached her knees, revealing her two slender and straight calves.
The clothes only covered the important parts, revealing her wheat-colored skin, her round shoulders, and her tight abdomen. She exuded a wild beauty.
And her face was charming. Her every frown and smile revealed an alluring charm. It was the opposite of her sexy and wild body, a mix of soul-stirring beauty.
The women of the Fox race of the monster race were the most charming.
The two of them stood on the deck and looked at the soldiers of Da Feng waiting at the dock. Huang Xian er smiled and said, “”Bookworm, if we return empty-handed and can’t get help, we’ll be in trouble.”
PEI man Xi Lou welcomed the river Wind, his tone calm, “‘Whether or not we can get reinforcements will depend on how much we have to pay.” He looked at the capital from afar, squinted his eyes, and smiled.
“There’s the Yun Lu Academy in the capital city, an Academy created by the eldest disciple of the scholarly Sage. Two hundred years ago, when the scholarly faction was at its most glorious, the four Seas surrendered. Not to mention our divine race, even the Buddhist Kingdom in the Western regions had to endure the scholarly faction going back on their word and moving their inheritance from the Central Plains to the Western regions.
“The capital has the Imperial College. Although it doesn’t follow the Confucian system, it is precisely because of this that scholars have more time and energy to expand their knowledge. Astronomy, geography, agriculture, commerce, and so on are involved in many things. If I can move the Imperial college’s library Pavilion to the North, I will never have to go south in my life.
“There’s Wei Yuan in the capital city. He’s known as one of the top military Masters in the six hundred years since the founding of Dafeng. In the sixth year of yuanjing, general dugu, who guarded the North, passed away. Twenty years ago, during the Battle of Shanhai Pass, without him, the history of the entire nine regions would have been rewritten.
“There’s a supervisor in the capital who has been overlooking the Central Plains for five hundred years. His mind is like the secrets of heaven, unpredictable by gods and ghosts.
“There’s a top poet in the capital who’s known as the number one in the poetry world for two hundred years. Even in Da Feng two hundred years ago, it’s hard to find a second one.
“The capital, I’ve been looking forward to it for a long time.”
PEI man Xi Lou let out a breath and smiled, ” there are countless talents in the capital. I’m full of knowledge, and I finally have a worthy opponent.
Bookworm … Huang Xian ‘er pouted and said with a smile, “”A war of words is your business. The women of my Fox clan are only responsible for beating the men of Da Feng in bed.”
There were fifty Fox beauties in the diplomatic mission, each of them with outstanding looks and graceful figures. Among them, three of them were natural human cauldrons.
He had heard that Emperor yuanjing cultivated and desired immortality. Although he had not been close to women for many years, he would not reject the human cauldrons.
At this time, Huang Xian er’s beautiful eyes turned and she said in surprise,
“”Yi, what a handsome human brat.”
PEI man Xi Lou squinted his eyes and said emotionlessly, “”Green-robed Xi Lu, a seventh-rank official.”
As the official ship reached the shore, the demon barbarian diplomatic mission disembarked. The handsome young man came up to them and said in a clear voice, “I wish for the new year and welcome all the envoys.”
