Chapter 428: The Fanzhen of the World (II)

"Wang Yueyao, the governor of Jiangnan West Road, pays homage to Prince Ji."

When Zhu Quanzhong lowered his head and thought about his own little thoughts, a stunningly beautiful lady came into everyone's sight.

The lady had her beautiful hair tied up and covered by a tall official hat; she was wearing a slightly oversized official robe that fluttered in the wind.

When the wind blows hard and her robe is tight, it will show off her exquisite and graceful figure hidden under the robe, making her look more elegant and unique.

As soon as she entered the venue, everyone's eyes lit up; if it weren't for this lady's straight eyes and cold appearance, everyone's hearts would have been melted by her peerless grace.

Different from the entrance of others, the entrance of this female Jiedushi not only made Prince Ji Li Bao hurriedly greet her with a smile, but even the three heroes Li Keyong, Li Maozhen and Yang Xingmi who were sitting behind the wolf-head desk also stood up at the same time and greeted her with surprise on their faces.

The heroes greeted her with smiles not only because she was a beauty, but also because they valued Wang Yueyao's importance. This importance was worth their doing so.

For powerful men, they have seen many beautiful bodies, no matter they are dressed in brocade and silk, or naked like jade, they have seen countless beauties and have long since disdained them.

However, a beautiful and capable person is very rare to them and deserves their attention.

Even the enemy, Prince Shou Li Jie, and the veteran warlord Zhu Quanzhong, had envious looks on their faces, full of admiration and regret.

As for those people with wolf hairs in their eyes and dim light in their eyes, I will not list them one by one, because almost all of them are like that.

Today's Wang Yueyao is not only charming but also awe-inspiring.

Behind her, there are Li Fazhu on the left and Zhang Xutuo on the right.

The follower Meng Taiji followed her closely, looking around with great vigilance, guarding his lady with all his heart.

In addition, several generals including Li Kuangba, Shen Guang, Lai Huer, etc., also followed Wang Yueyao with great humility. They all looked like loyal ministers and good generals, which made people very enviable.

"Yuchi Jin, the governor of Lulong, pays homage to Prince Shou"

Wang Yueyao had just sat down like a star surrounded by moons when the eunuch in charge of ceremonies shouted again.

Upon hearing that it was this "defeated opponent" coming, Wang Yueyao suddenly perked up, stretched out her jade-like swan neck, and looked coldly towards the source of the sound.

Along with the voice, Prince Shou Li Jie and Zhu Quanzhong, who had been sitting still, quickly stood up and hurried towards the direction where the voice came from.

Following the backs of the two people, everyone looked and saw a graceful woman in silver armor and a heroic woman in a golden helmet coming into view.

There was another female Jiedushi, whose appearance was no less beautiful than Wang Yueyao; her majestic and heroic demeanor was particularly eye-catching; this newly appointed Jiedushi of Lulong, just by taking a step forward, gave people a visual impact like a fighting goddess.

If Wang Yueyao is an ice lotus standing proudly in the sea of glaciers and snow, then Yuchi Jin is a lily blooming in the north wind.

When thinking of lotus, people always think of the phrase "crystal clear and pure"; but when thinking of lily, in addition to thinking of purity and happiness, people also think of lily's bravery and perseverance.

Yuchi Jin is undoubtedly a brave and persistent lily; behind her, there are also several generals following her.

The most eye-catching ones, of course, are the two little flowers following behind; the two little flowers that look like flower buds are naturally the two little girls, Wenlan and Yangguang.

The two girls, one on the left and one on the right, are like two lily buds about to bloom, pure, innocent, and beautiful; but their washboard-like figures instantly make people lose interest.

Behind the two girls were two mighty generals, looking mighty and powerful, with a heroic spirit. They were none other than Yu Juro and He Ruobi.

Following behind He Ruobi and the other man were the two brothers Xie Tian and Xie Di, as well as the two brothers Yan Yun and Yan Xiao.

In the eyes of outsiders, Yuchi Jin, the newly appointed governor, is naturally not as important as Wang Yueyao.

The reason is simple. When people measure a person's ability, they usually look at what the other person has done, and then estimate and evaluate the other person's character and ability.

In a word, whether it is a mule or a horse, take it out for a walk.

When Wang Yueyao first came to power, she had already pacified the western part of Jiangnan, showing her extraordinary skills and abilities. However, Yuchi Jin has not done anything noteworthy since he came to power.

Therefore, in the eyes of everyone, her importance is naturally not as great as Wang Yueyao.

However, there was one person in the field whose expression suddenly became very complicated the moment he saw Yuchi Jin.

This person was naturally Li Keyong; Yuchi Jin looked the same as before, although she no longer had two mustaches, but Li Keyong still recognized her at a glance.

Isn’t the Yuchi Jin in front of him the Han Jin who saved his life

Others may not be aware of Yuchi Jin's abilities, but Li Keyong is deeply afraid of him.

As the governor of Hedong, Li Keyong was supposed to govern 18 states, including Taiyuan, Pu, Jin, Jiang, Ci, Xi, Fen, Qin, Lan, Yi (Liao), Shi, Xin, Dai, Yun, Shuo, Wei, Ze, and Lu.

At the beginning of his reign, Zhu Li's subordinates not only killed his father, but also occupied the five states of Dai, Yun, Shuo, Wei and Xin.

Li Keyong, who controls thirteen states, has been confronting Zhu Li on the Xin and Lan front in the name of revenge for his father.

At Shangyuan Inn, he met Yuchi Jin, who went by the alias Han Jin. She saved his life in a time of crisis and made him regard her as a close friend. However, he never expected that this lady was actually having an affair with Zhu Li.

Although Yuchi Jin helped him recapture Luzhou, it was also because of this woman that Zhu Li once again took over the five states of Taiyuan, Xi, Fen, Shi, and Yi (Liao) from him, instantly pushing him into the lowest point of his life.

How dare Li Keyong look down on Yuchi Jin

Seeing the indifferent look others gave Yuchi Jinyun, Li Keyong sneered; People will only learn their lessons after suffering a loss. This lady is definitely not as harmless as she looks. Anyone who underestimates her will surely suffer a big setback.

"General Zhu Li of Huaihua pays homage to Prince Shou."

Just as Li Keyong was complaining in his heart, and Li Jie and Zhu Quanzhong were arranging Yuchi Jin, the voice of the eunuch in charge of ceremonies rang out again.

Only this time, everyone, including Yang Sixu who was sitting high behind the tiger-head desk, looked at them sideways; even Yang Fugong, who was in charge of maintaining the order of this spring search and had been trying hard not to be noticed by others, had his pupils contracted.

Zhu Li, just the name is enough to make people tremble.

There is no other reason, Zhu Li’s combat record is so impressive that almost no one here can compare to him.

He defeated the Shatuo, suppressed the bandits, recovered Chang'an, pacified the northern border, expanded the territory by thousands of miles, and so on. He was almost invincible in battle and conquest.

Especially the other side, who once defeated the 200,000-strong Di and Han coalition forces under the city of Yizhou with only 20,000 exhausted and weak troops. No vassal or hero in the world, no matter how conceited he was, would dare to say that he could do it.

Of course, the achievements they knew about were all Zhu Li’s open achievements; secretly, Zhu Li also had the merits of pacifying Xuzhou and Annanzhao. Who among these people could compare with him

Zhu Li came, looking a little haggard, as if he had not slept well the night before.

However, the civil and military officials following behind him were all full of energy and looked outstanding.

Since ancient times, there have always been strong generals under the command of weak soldiers.

Follow Zhu Li, the invincible general.

Although the soldiers of Heshuo tried to restrain their arrogance time and time again, when they saw the troops from other vassal states, they would still unnaturally burst out with a sense of superiority from the bottom of their bones.

That's the regular army, look at the contemptuous look of the reserve troops.

Following closely behind Zhu Li were two charming ladies from foreign races; these two were Qian Muran, who had taken off her disguise and revealed her true appearance, and Lady Qing Ruo, who had followed Zhu Li all the way, regardless of life or death.

The unique exotic charm of the two of them instantly caused an inexplicable commotion among the crowd.

Qian Muran is extremely beautiful and charming, and is no less elegant and graceful than Yuchi Jin and Wang Yueyao, which naturally makes people forget themselves.

And Qing Ruo, this lady who is as pretty as a spring flower and as pure as an autumn pear, even when standing next to Qian Muran, is not overshadowed by the other's brilliance at all. She also has her own unique charm.

It is a kind of stubbornness that is self-reliant, wise, and courageous.

That kind of temperament is very rare even in many heroes and local officials; because it is a temperament that can only be possessed after going through countless hardships and remaining untainted by the mud. Looking at it, it makes people shudder and move.

After the second daughter, there is Zhu Ya.

The second general of Heshuo had a domineering and arrogant look on his face that was hard for ordinary people to achieve. That was a quality that came from his bones, not something he deliberately did.

Ever since watching Qian Muran's dance, this ignorant second general has undergone a drastic change within a few days.

Looking at him, you would feel that even if ten evil dragons attacked, he could suppress them with one hand.

It was an extreme level of strength and unparalleled domineering pressure. Without any deliberate effort, it came naturally and gave people the feeling of being the only one in the world and looking down on the sky.

Behind Zhu Ya are two extraordinary swordsmen.

There was a man who was as ethereal as the wind, otherworldly and otherworldly. Although he was clearly seen, he seemed illusory, as if time was flowing around him and through his hair. This man was none other than the commander-in-chief of the Ghost Guards, the Spring Breeze Swordsman Yi Jiangnan.

A man is like the sun, the lazy sun in spring, looking at it makes people lazy both physically and mentally, and they are too lazy to even move a finger. This man is naturally the third senior brother of Longhu Mountain, Li Gufeng, who is leaning on a sword and chanting about flowers, closely following the footsteps of the second senior brother, and has also completed the transformation.

It seems that the most ordinary people are the father and son Yue Pengju and Yue Yun. They are dignified, majestic and solemn. They follow Zhu Li's footsteps closely with a serious look.

Zhu Li's group was small in number, but no one dared to underestimate them.

There is no other reason. Apart from Zhu Li's countless horrific military achievements, Zhu Li is also the most powerful vassal in the world.

No need to explain, it is recognized by the world.

The eight prefectures of Hejian, the eleven prefectures of Daishuo, and dozens of prefectures and counties outside the Great Wall were all under Zhu Li's control; judging from the territories he openly controlled, the people present were far behind.

Prince Shou Li Jie had never expected to get Zhu Li's support. In the past two days, he felt as if he was hit by a gold ingot, and he is still dizzy, as if he was in a dream.

As soon as he saw Zhu Li coming, Li Jie immediately jumped out like an anxious rabbit and greeted Zhu Li with a smile on his face.

"Han Zhi, the governor of Xuzhou, pays homage to Prince Shou."

"Guan Yuchang, the Protector General of Yaozhou, pays homage to the King of Shou."

After Zhu Li, Guan Yu and Han Zhi came together.

Li Tianfu, Zhou Ran, Zha Shuchen, Yang Liuye, Zhe Silun, Yu Cuiwei, Long Qie, Zhongli Mei, Ji Bu and others followed.

When Li Tianfu showed up, Wenlan and Yangguang, the two little girls who were beside Yuchi Jin, were so excited that they almost ran out. They jumped directly into the arms of their eldest brother and started to act cute and coquettishly.

The eldest brother is like a father, especially the eldest brother like Li Tianfu, who is simply a fighter among old hens. Only my younger brothers and sisters can bully you, and you are not allowed to touch them. Such a protective and domineering elder brother loves his younger brothers and sisters very much.

It was precisely because of his protection that his fellow junior brothers and sisters were able to grow up safely; especially the two youngest girls, who were almost spoiled by him into idiots in life.

Yi Jiangnan and Li Gufeng, who were standing behind Zhu Li, were equally excited when they saw Li Tianfu; their bright eyes were filled with excitement.

In addition to them, Gai Songtao behind Zhu Wen had tears in his eyes.

The wanderer is far away from home,

Thousands of mountains can't stop me from going just to see my parents.

Master Mo Lingtian is no longer with us, but in the hearts of the other juniors, the eldest senior brother Li Tianfu is undoubtedly the most loving elder. Seeing the senior brother who is like a brother and a father, how can he not be excited

With the arrival of Guan Yu and Han Zhi, other military governors also came one after another.

"Hezhong Jiedushi Zhuge Zhong, pays homage to Prince Ji."

"Zhang Huaishen, the governor of Guiyi, pays homage to Prince Ji."

"Tianping Jiedushi Zhu?, I pay my respects to Prince Shou."

"Dong Chang, the governor of Hangzhou, pays homage to Prince Shou."

... ...

Except for Qianzhong Prefecture in the far south, where no one came to participate in the spring search, almost all the military governors from other prefectures came.

Moreover, each of them brought with him elite soldiers and generals, and they were determined to take advantage of this opportunity to become famous in one fell swoop.

The world is in chaos and the Li Tang Dynasty is about to fall. In this era of war, it is true that having soldiers and food can make you a powerful force; however, if you want to go further, you must also have talents.

In this world, besides time and true love, talent is also a resource that cannot be bought with money.

Why should talented people come to you

Of course it is reputation and fame. As the saying goes, "people come to you because of your reputation." Without reputation and fame, the talented people you know may not necessarily know you.

As for the dispute between Prince Shou Li Jie and Prince Ji Li Bao, I'm afraid none of the various vassal states present here would take it to heart. They are just here for fame and reputation.

Therefore, these local vassal states came without hesitation.

Because they all know that being a hegemon in troubled times is like rowing against the current. If you don't advance, you will retreat, and if you retreat, you will be defeated. Do they dare not come
