Ye Li came out of the palace in confusion. He didn't quite understand what Li Tianyuan's purpose was in asking him a few questions. Was it just to confirm whether Li Ruhai's change was caused by Li Rushan
"Is he trying to understand the progress of the fight between his two sons? He is really trying very hard!"
Ye Li couldn't help but guess.
He didn't know whether he should tell Li Rushan about what happened today. After all, after telling Li Rushan, he would surely be even more disappointed with his father.
After thinking it over, he decided not to say it on his own initiative. If Li Rushan asked, he would tell it. If not, he would not tell it.
After returning to his residence, Ye Li once again focused on his cultivation. He had no time to interfere in these power struggles.
A month passed quickly, and just when Ye Li comprehended the laws of tenacity and sharpness, the time for his mission to Tianyue Kingdom had arrived.
He didn't know whether Li Rushan knew that the emperor had summoned him, but since Li Rushan didn't ask, he didn't take the initiative to explain.
Regarding the diplomatic mission to Tianyue Kingdom, in addition to the brothers Li Rushan and Liu Zhanqing and himself, there was also a delegation of nearly a hundred people who would go together.
There is a master in the realm of Fu Shen among the diplomatic envoys. He is a member of the Royalist Society and his name is Li Jianfeng.
One morning a month later, all the members of the delegation gathered outside the palace. Li Rushan, Ye Li and the two brothers Liu Zhanqing rode in a carriage and left Tangjing City with the delegation, heading northeast.
Tianyue Kingdom is not very close to Tang Kingdom, and there are many small countries between the two countries.
Most of these small countries were vassal states of the Tang Dynasty. Some of them were not vassal states because their political power was too unstable and basically not completely stable, and war could break out at any time, so the Tang Dynasty was too lazy to intervene.
Li Rushan informed Ye Li of the intelligence about Tianyue Kingdom before setting off. Only then did Ye Li know that Tianyue Kingdom could be considered one of the oldest countries on the continent.
The land area of Tianyue Kingdom is only about half the size of Tang Kingdom. If we have to calculate it, its strength would probably rank fourth on the continent, second only to the three strongest countries.
A thousand years ago, the Tianyue Kingdom was once glorious and even the most powerful country on the continent. However, after a civil war broke out, its strength plummeted and finally shrunk to its current state.
The Shenyue Emperor of Tianyue Kingdom is not only a master in the realm of Fuzun, but also a disciple of Jingyue Fusheng, one of the seven great Fushengs on the continent. Therefore, his influence is actually quite large, so much so that on his birthday, many countries will spontaneously send people to celebrate his birthday.
Of course, the Tang Kingdom would not send people there on its own initiative, but would only send people there when invited, which was also a reflection of its status.
Ye Li was somewhat curious about the affairs of the Seven Talisman Saints and made a special trip to ask Li Rushan about them.
Li Rushan told him that except for the First Talisman Saint and Tiankui Talisman Saint who ranked first and second, the other five Talisman Saints were ranked in no particular order.
These people are Mirror Moon Talisman Saint, Sky Fire Talisman Saint, Shadow Talisman Saint, Canghai Talisman Saint and Golden Sword Talisman Saint.
These people are the seven strongest people currently known in the mainland. Of course, as to whether there are any hidden Talisman Saints, Li Rushan actually doesn’t know.
From these aspects, Ye Li could probably tell that the overall strength of the Nine Soul Continent was very likely above that of the Black Eye Continent, because even with the same cultivation level, the spiritual warriors on the Nine Soul Continent might obviously have stronger combat power, after all, they were blessed with physical strength.
If these spiritual warriors could leave here and go to the outside world and learn ordinary spells, their combat effectiveness might be even higher.
Ye Li was the one who knew best the benefits that physical strength brought to combat, and he himself had benefited greatly from it.
After traveling for nearly ten days, Ye Li was getting a little bored sitting in the carriage.
Li Rushan was obviously the same and even complained a little when he stopped to rest.
Ye Li asked: "Your Highness, how long will it take us to reach Tianyue Country?"
Li Rushan said: "It will take about twenty days, which is not a short time.
Fortunately, all the vassal states along the way are ours. Every time we pass through a place, these vassal states will send troops to follow and protect us, so our actions are very safe."
Upon hearing that it would take more than twenty days in total, Ye Li couldn't help feeling a little depressed. After all, he had only walked less than half the distance.
In order to pass the time, Ye Li basically spent the whole journey in cultivation, and his strength also improved further in these twenty days.
The total number of laws he has comprehended has reached forty-seven. If he comprehends ten more laws, he will be able to enter the late stage of the Divine Phase.
… … … …
At this time in the palace of Hanshan Kingdom, Yi Wenyuan, Zeng Deshun, Li Ruhai and Ermian Shura were sitting in the main hall.
The four of them all had smiles on their faces. Li Ruhai said, "Three seniors, my second brother has already left the Tang territory with the diplomatic corps and will definitely not be able to come back in a short time.
During this period, if my father passed away, he would not be able to come back and compete with me for the right of inheritance.
The country cannot be without a ruler for a day. Even if he has many supporters in the court, he cannot come back, so the succession rights can only fall on me. I can get the throne directly immediately. This is a precedent in the past, so no one dares to object. "
Hearing Li Ruhai's words, Zeng Deshun said, "We have always known where Leng Rushuang is. She is now in Feiyan, a vassal state adjacent to Tang State. It's time for us to start planning."
Li Ruhai nodded and said: "Next, I will trouble the three seniors to deal with Leng Rushuang, chase her all the way and trap her in Feiyan Country.
I have already instructed my trusted subordinates to spread this matter immediately so that everyone in the world knows about it.
I believe that Tiankui Fu Sheng will receive the information soon and then leave the palace to rescue. Then it will be time for me to take action.
It will be the time when autumn crabs become plump and plump. My father loves to eat crabs, so this is a good time for me to poison them.
He has become suspicious of me recently, and he thought I was going to attack my second brother, so he sent people to monitor me, intending to take me down as soon as I took action.
Hey, but he doesn’t know that the people he sent to monitor me had already joined me, so I could come here so easily to meet the three seniors.
If our plan succeeds this time, the three seniors will be the benefactors who helped me ascend the throne, and I will definitely reward them handsomely.
The three of you are all practitioners and are not interested in power, but I will confer the title of unparalleled state warriors upon you, who will not only have fiefs but also a large supply of practice resources.
Of course, if the three of you are willing to take up a position in my dynasty, I would be extremely happy to do so."
