Chapter 175: Duo Kuo Huo? I can kill him, but I couldn't kill him before!Li Xingyun nodded. Judging from Shangguan Yunque's expression, Yuan Tiangang must have given the order long ago. "Shangguan." Li Xingyun suddenly called out to Shangguan Yunque. Shangguan Yunque was stunned for a moment and then smiled and said, "Your Highness, if you have any other instructions, I will do it immediately." "Your makeup looks good today, quite masculine." Li Xingyun praised Shangguan Yunque's makeup for the first time, which made Shangguan Yunque so happy that he turned into an 18-year-old girl. Li Xingyun looked at Shangguan Yunque who was dancing with joy and couldn't help but made a calming gesture and said, "Calm down, calm down." "If Your Highness likes it, I will keep it in the future!" Shangguan Yunque straightened his chest and spoke in a calm voice, his hand still on the hilt of the long sword at his waist, looking like a sword-carrying guard. "Haha, come on, do whatever you want." Li Xingyun waved his hand and strode towards the depths of the Cangbing Valley, leaving Shangguan Yunque with a look of emotion, "Your Highness's taste is indeed the same as mine." The bad guy who was passing by holding the secret scroll could not help but be stunned for a moment and almost burst out laughing when he heard this. Shangguan Yunque immediately turned his head and said unhappily: "What? Do you have any objection?" "No, no, I think His Highness's love for you is beyond words!" This bad guy is indeed a professionally trained one, he is very good at flattering. "Well, you are a good judge of vision. I will give you double the salary for the new month." Shangguan Yunque highly praised this flattery. The secret scroll in the arms of the bad man was almost dropped to the ground. He quickly pushed it with his thigh and said, "Thank you, sir, hehe." Now the word has spread among the Bad People that the first thing His Highness did after taking over the Bad People was to implement the salary issue mentioned earlier. This has undoubtedly given great encouragement to many of the Bad People. Although everyone is loyal to the Tang Dynasty, they still have to eat. Now that His Highness has started to distribute salaries and land, this is undoubtedly a shot in the arm for the Bad People as an organization.
…… Li Xingyun looked up at the highest point in the Cangbing Valley. There was also a figure standing on the pavilion on the top of the mountain, and the two lines of sight met in the air. Li Xingyun smiled, and suddenly his heart was filled with a mix of emotions. Since he came to this world, in the past few months, his experiences were more exciting than his previous ten years. All of this was closely related to the figure on the top of the mountain. Li Xingyun is dark, calm, and crazy in his actions. He seems to be able to plan everything. In just a few months, he has accomplished many things that Li Xingyun could not do in more than ten years. But only he himself knows that the reason he can and dares to do this is because he has the Bad Leader behind him, the loyal Tang Dynasty Bad Leader Yuan Tiangang and the bad people under his command. This is the capital that enables him to face any emergency with confidence. If he hadn't had the strong support of these people, he would have come alone into this chaotic world and would probably have only become raw meat in the bowl to fill his stomach. The rustling sound continued to be heard, and Li Xingyun walked towards the top of the mountain step by step, stepping on the dead leaves. The sun and the moon rotate, and the mountains and rivers change. Li Xingyun's knowledge and experience are not enough to fully understand Yuan Tiangang's state of mind. He has the omniscient perspective of an outsider, but even so, he cannot understand the loneliness in Yuan Tiangang's heart. No one in the world knows his pain. This is why Li Xingyun has never mentioned the elixir of immortality in front of Yuan Tiangang. Since he really faced Yuan Tiangang, he can be sure that sometimes living too long in this world is not necessarily a good thing. After witnessing countless wars and deaths, even the strongest person would become numb and exhausted. The fact that Yuan Tiangang has been able to persist until now without changing his heart is a miracle in Li Xingyun's eyes. Li Xingyun walked up the path to the top of the mountain. He looked at the figure in the pavilion standing with his hands behind his back and did not say a word. Instead, he stood quietly beside him. The two stood side by side. The wind and clouds in the sky changed, and the two did not speak for a long time. "What are you looking at, Your Highness?" Yuan Tiangang's voice sounded somewhat abruptly. "Look at the Hidden Soldiers Valley, look at the Bad Guys, look at the Zhongnan Mountains that you, Yuan Tiangang, have seen." Li Xingyun turned his head and looked at Yuan Tiangang with some emotion and said, "I am not you, and I do not have your realm. All I can see is what is in front of me, but what you see here is the people of the world." Yuan Tiangang chuckled and said, "I don't have any realm. It's just that the world is so big that there is no place for me to stay. In my eyes, you are nothing more than a person." Li Xingyun continued, "The world is so big, there is no place you cannot go. I am afraid that what you are talking about is not a place to stay, but a place to stay. If it is not the prosperous Tang Dynasty, where can you stay?" "Hahaha, the one who understands me best is Your Highness." Yuan Tiangang spoke in a relaxed tone, then turned around, lifted his robe and sat cross-legged. His court robes had become a little white from being starched, his leather armor was mottled, and had dense sword marks imprinted on it. Although he did not take off the mask, he represented the words wind and frost just by sitting there. "The Marshal gives me the feeling that he is a lot younger than before." Li Xingyun said with a smile as he sat cross-legged opposite Yuan Tiangang. It's not the appearance, but the mentality. Youth is a feeling that is hard to describe. "Your Highness has a keen eye. I am truly grateful to have a monarch like Your Highness. My mentality is no longer the same as before."
Yuan Tiangang smiled faintly, then took out a jar of wine and two wine bowls from under the table. He poured wine into the two wine bowls while muttering, "For three hundred years, after my close friend Li Chunfeng, I have disdained to sit and drink with anyone else. Today, I offer this fine wine that has been sealed for thirty years to honor the young prince." Yuan Tiangang poured the wine himself. His behavior and manners were like an ordinary old man. You couldn't tell at all that he was the powerful and influential leader who had dominated the world for three hundred years. Li Xingyun took the wine bowl and was slightly startled. He looked at Yuan Tiangang, who was a little bit at a loss. He just saw an old man with wounds all over his body. He was hunched over and looked very old... "What? Your Highness just said that I have become a lot younger, but now I feel that I am old. I am just like an old and useless man pouring wine for Your Highness." Yuan Tiangang said leisurely. "No, I just looked at your behavior. It seems that you have returned to your original state. Could it be that your cultivation has improved again?" Li Xingyun guessed. "Haha, that's a story for later. Your Highness, drink this cup first." Yuan Tiangang did not answer Li Xingyun directly. Instead, he waved his hand, signaling Li Xingyun to drink. goodong... "What? Did I really guess it right? With Yuan Tiangang's cultivation level, what does it mean for him to take another step forward?" Li Xingyun was quite shocked and drank the wine in the bowl in a daze. "How is it?" Yuan Tiangang asked. "Not bad, a little bitter, but then it turns sweet, it has a unique taste." Li Xingyun smacked his lips. "Your Highness is indeed a person who understands wine." Yuan Tiangang poured the wine in the bowl into his mouth and sighed, "It's a pity that I have not known the bitterness and sweetness of life for hundreds of years, let alone the taste of this wine..." Li Xingyun frowned slightly and said, "Not knowing the bitterness of life, eternal damnation, is this the reason why Emperor Taizong was unwilling to take the immortality elixir?" "Yes and no." Yuan Tiangang said in an inexplicable tone, "Emperor Taizong was the best in the army. He was always brave and charged into battle, but this also left him with many hidden diseases. The stone carvings of the Six Horses of Zhaoling Mausoleum can explain everything." "He has a blood deficiency and works day and night, so his health is getting worse and worse. With such a body, taking the elixir of immortality is a life-threatening situation. Emperor Taizong is unwilling to gamble his lifelong reputation on this ray of hope." "I see." Li Xingyun nodded. Emperor Taizong's horse was in such a tragic state, it was obvious that he himself had suffered a lot of injuries. "Commander..." While pouring wine for Yuan Tiangang, Li Xingyun asked, "With your ability, why did the An-Shi Rebellion occur during the reign of Emperor Xuanzong?" Yuan Tiangang picked up the wine bowl and said, "Emperor Xuanzong worked hard to govern the country in the first half of his life, and the Kaiyuan event was a great event. However, the grand event blinded the eyes of this heroic ruler. When a heroic ruler indulges in wine and sex and does not care about state affairs, a huge disaster has already been buried in the dark, and I am unable to shake the emperor's heart." After finishing the wine in the bowl, Yuan Tiangang said calmly: "So I acquiesced to some of An Lushan's small actions, intending to use them to wake up Xuanzong. However, the court was already deeply poisoned. This chaos has caused unrest in the world, and it is difficult to return to the prosperous times." "So the Anshi Rebellion can be said to be the result of your indulgence, Marshal?" Li Xingyun looked at Yuan Tiangang with some curiosity and said, "Tao follows nature. Marshal, what you did is in line with the principles of heaven and contrary to your hegemonic heart." boom! Yuan Tiangang put down his wine bowl and said in a deep voice: "Spring nights are short and the sun rises high. From now on, the emperor will not hold court early! The emperor is not an emperor, and the ministers are not ministers. The supreme power is scattered everywhere. The foundation of the towering building is already rotten. If the disease is not brought out and treated with strong medicine, the overthrow of the Tang Dynasty will eventually be in the mind of Emperor Xuanzong." "But the situation is too bad to be reversed. The decline of the Tang Dynasty has become inevitable." Li Xingyun sighed. "There is no eternal dynasty, only corrupt human hearts." Yuan Tiangang sighed with emotion, "I have observed the world for hundreds of years. Kings change, national fortunes change, but the only thing that remains unchanged is the human heart. Greed and desire always accompany the human heart and destroy all stability and prosperity. No dynasty can escape the corruption of the human heart." "What the Marshal said makes sense. There is no solution to this situation." Li Xingyun raised his wine bowl and said, "Cheers to the Marshal." "Haha, it's you, Your Highness. You have given me too many surprises. Would you like to chat? Let's talk about the secrets of Your Highness." Yuan Tiangang picked up the wine bowl and gently clinked it with Li Xingyun. Li Xingyun was also shocked when he heard this. "Me?" Li Xingyun was stunned for a moment, suddenly not knowing where to start. He simply raised his head and drank the wine first, then slowly stood up and said, "Marshal, this is not very satisfying." As he spoke, Li Xingyun's right hand slowly reached for the Longquan Sword behind him. Yuan Tiangang laughed and said, "In that case, it will be as you wish!" boom! As soon as Yuan Tiangang finished speaking, a gray-white gas shield burst out from his body, instantly overturning the wine table.
Li Xingyun unsheathed the Longquan sword, and the golden thunder energy gathered on the sword body. A sizzling sound kept ringing, and he thrust the sword forward. The Longquan sword energy, which had been invincible against the Ghost King, suddenly stagnated three inches in front of Yuan Tiangang. No matter how Li Xingyun released his true energy, the Longquan sword could not move forward an inch. "The combination of the Five Thunders Heavenly Heart Art and the Supreme Saint Heavenly Universe Art is good. With the opportunity that Your Highness has sought, you can achieve the Heavenly Dao within five years." Yuan Tiangang said this lightly, and pushed with one palm, wow! With a slight sound, Li Xingyun was knocked back and said, "I knew that everything I did could not be hidden from the Marshal's eyes." "No, there are some things about Your Highness that I still don't quite understand. What is going on with Your Highness's memory?" Yuan Tiangang's figure flashed, Li Xingyun squinted and looked around, but he could not catch his figure. He could only hold the sword in one hand and stab it into the ground. The Five Thunders Heart Art burst out, and snake-shaped lightning roamed around. "Yes, my memory can see the past and present!" sizzle. In the golden thunderous energy, Yuan Tiangang slowly approached Li Xingyun and said with a smile: "Your Highness is really a remarkable person." "You guessed it a long time ago!" Li Xingyun waved the Longquan sword in his hand, and a golden sword energy went straight to Yuan Tiangang. boom! Yuan Tiangang held the sword energy in one hand and said calmly: "My guess is completely different from what Your Highness said in person." "Li Ying was trained by you. Now that you let him out, you are giving him a choice." Li Xingyun threw out the Huayang Needle. The sound of ding-dong continued to ring in front of Yuan Tiangang. Yuan Tiangang nodded slightly and said, "Whether he lives or dies depends on his own choice. However, I think he is dissatisfied with Your Highness and is seeking his own death." "He can be considered a descendant of Li Tang." Li Xingyun breathed slightly while leaning on his sword. Even when he exerted all his strength, he could not break Yuan Tiangang's protective energy shield. "Yes, but he is not qualified to inherit the throne." Yuan Tiangang said lightly. "A chess piece. You really have made the world like a chess piece. Even you are included in it." Li Xingyun looked at the person in front of him with emotion. Yuan Tiangang has lived like this for three hundred years. He feels tired for Yuan Tiangang. "I used to be the chess player, but now that I have Your Highness, I am willing to join the game and play the chess game for Your Highness." Yuan Tiangang slapped out with his palm, and Li Xingyun stepped back on tiptoe. Yuan Tiangang chuckled and said, "Your Highness has done everything, and I think it's time to return the power to control the Bad People to Your Highness." clang! Li Xingyun blocked with his sword, frowned and said: "I'm not refusing, but I feel uncertain in my heart." "I am your Highness's support, and always will be, until your Highness ascends the throne and becomes emperor!" Yuan Tiangang exerted force with one palm and slapped Li Xingyun backwards again. "Okay!" Li Xingyun shouted softly, steadied himself and said, "Marshal, how far have you come in your cultivation?" Yuan Tiangang stood with his hands behind his back and said calmly, "Above Tiangang." Li Xingyun narrowed his eyes, looked at Yuan Tiangang and said, "Compared to Mobei Duokuohuo, how do you think it is?" Yuan Tiangang laughed and said, "How can you be so knowledgeable? Your Highness knows a lot. This person can be killed, but she cannot be killed. If she is killed, the tribes in Mobei and the Central Plains will be in a situation of eternal war. She is different from me. She is the faith of the people of the grassland..." “Is that so…” Li Xingyun put away the Longquan Sword and sighed, “So Marshal, you are the best man in the world, but you are also the most pitiful man in the world…” (End of this chapter)
