Hearing Ye Li's question, Bian Yingxiong thought for a moment and said, "The First Talisman Saint is called the 'First Talisman Saint', and his real name should not be known by many people.
The reason why he is called the First Talisman Saint is because he has been in this position for who knows how many years.
The age of the First Talisman Saint is a mystery to me. I only know that my grandfather once told me when I was young that the First Talisman Saint was already the First Talisman Saint when he was a child.
In other words, the First Talisman Saint became the First Talisman Saint for more than a hundred years, but the exact number of years is unknown.
I have no idea what kind of strength the First Talisman Saint has now. I only know that he has not yet become a Great Saint, but it is very likely that he is only one step away from becoming one. "
Hearing what Bian Yingxiong said, Ye Li couldn't help but be a little surprised. He really didn't expect that there would be such a person on the Nine Souls Continent.
"Then, is the First Talisman Saint also a member of the royal family?"
Ye Li said.
Bian Yingxiong shook his head and said, "The court once wanted to recruit him, and the royal family was even willing to pay a huge price to invite him, but he refused. No matter which country on the mainland, no one could recruit him.
Strictly speaking, he is not a Tang citizen. He just lived in seclusion on Lotus Mountain in Tang for many years, so we often regard him as a Tang citizen and think he is the first Talisman Saint in Tang. But in fact, he is also the first Talisman Saint in the continent. "
Ye Li pondered for a moment after hearing this and said, "He must be a legendary figure, right?"
Bian Yingxiong nodded in agreement and said, "Yes, he is definitely one of the most legendary figures in our Nine Souls Continent.
Okay, Ye Li, let's go to the Second Prince first and tell him the result of today's audience with the Emperor.
I was directly appointed as the leader of the second division of the Zhenzhong Army. I think I must inform His Highness. He should be prepared. His Highness the Crown Prince will definitely come back to cause trouble."
After Bian Yingxiong finished speaking, he and Ye Li rushed towards the harem courtyard.
After Ye Li obtained the royal guest token, it became much easier for him to enter and exit Li Rushan's courtyard.
The two of them soon arrived at Li Rushan's residence, but this time Li Rushan was not in the study.
The two met Li Rushan in his room, where he was eating cakes. "You two are here. I was just saying that you should have seen the emperor by now. It's about time for you to come."
Come sit over here, I just got some fruit cakes made in the Western Country, they taste very good, you can all come and try them."
Li Rushan waved to Ye Li and the others and said to them with a smile.
After expressing their thanks, the two of them sat down at the table and picked up two pieces of cake to taste.
Ye Li had never eaten this kind of pastry before. The candied fruit spread on the pastry was sweet and delicious.
Just as the servants served two cups of fragrant tea to the two, Li Rushan asked, "How is it? Tell me about what happened today."
Ye Li and Bian Yingxiong looked at each other, and Bian Yingxiong said, "Your Highness, after I took the initiative to ask for the position of deputy commander of the third division of the Zhenzhong Army, His Majesty directly appointed me as the commander of the second division of the Zhenzhong Army. His Majesty asked me to return to Jinzhou City to prepare, and I will take up the position directly when the transfer order arrives."
Hearing his words, Li Rushan's hands shook and he almost dropped the teacup on the table.
His face first turned pale, then red, and a flash of anger flashed across his eyes.
"Sure enough, this is another one he had planned long ago!!!
I was indeed too naive and always underestimated how cruel my father was.
He had actually made the decision from the very beginning and deliberately let people spread the rumor that Yue Leichi would take over the position of leader of the second part.
Just when the eldest brother was ready to send Yue Lei Chi to Zhenzhong Army, he suddenly asked you to lead the second part.
I am sure that he will let people know about your initiative to ask for the mission today, which will prove that it was because of us that the emperor changed his decision and chose you to lead the second division of the Zhenzhong Army!!!"
After all, Li Rushan knew his father very well. After listening to what Bian Yingxiong said, he understood it immediately.
"Your Highness, I just want to tell you that we have to be careful. I think the Crown Prince will find a chance to cause trouble for you.
Ye Li has been invited by His Majesty to attend a celebration banquet in two days. The eldest prince's people will also be there. I think the eldest prince will definitely find an opportunity to cause trouble at the banquet."
Li Rushan had suppressed the anger on his face at this time, but his gloomy expression showed that his mood had not calmed down.
“I know that although my big brother doesn’t dare to cross the line and fight with me for the time being, he has done a lot of things to cause trouble for me.
This banquet was most likely deliberately arranged by my father to further intensify the conflict between me and my elder brother.
Moreover, since he has invited Ye Li, the target of trouble for Big Brother is likely to be Ye Li."
Hearing Li Rushan mentioning him, Ye Li was startled and asked, "Will you come to cause trouble for me?"
Li Rushan nodded and said, "I think it's pretty close.
My eldest brother is a vengeful person. If Yingxiong goes back to Jinzhou City, he will definitely not be able to take revenge on Yingxiong.
And if he retaliates directly against me, it means that he will fight me head-on regardless of the consequences.
I think our relationship hasn't reached this point yet, and my brother hasn't been driven crazy by jealousy.
This time, Ye Li, you are definitely the one who is most likely to be troubled by me. After all, you are new here and you are unfamiliar with the place. You are definitely the best target for attack."
Hearing Li Rushan's words, Ye Li cursed inwardly. He really didn't want to be affected by the power struggle between Li Rushan and his two brothers.
"Ye Li, you don't have to worry too much. I will definitely be there at the banquet and will not let you suffer any loss.
Besides, it was a banquet that day, and my brother couldn't possibly go too far, so as long as you handle it carefully, there shouldn't be any problem."
Li Rushan saw that Ye Li's face had turned gloomy and could only speak to comfort him.
Ye Li took a deep breath and said, "Well, there is no other way, we can only wait until that day.
Anyway, I will deal with it as the situation dictates. "
Li Rushan nodded and said, "Ye Li, you are my retainer now, I will allow you to live in my courtyard.
In addition to you, my courtyard has two other retainers given by my father, both of whom are masters at the Fu Zun realm.
You can stay here to practice peacefully and learn some court etiquette to avoid being rude at the banquet in two days."
