Li Ye did not participate in the pursuit of the Xuanwu army.
After breaking through the Taoist formation with a sword, he also felt quite weak. This was the first time he mobilized the power of luck of the people in the fairy garden after he was promoted to the fairyland. As a result, because he didn't have much experience, he didn't reserve the slightest shot. As a result, he used too much force and exhausted his strength.
However, it is worthwhile to break through a thousand soldiers with one sword.
One-third of the Taoist soldiers fell under the sword energy, and most of the rest were injured. But their cultivation base is good, saving their lives is not a problem, and it is not difficult to withdraw safely.
Dao soldiers, as the greatest reliance of the Immortal Court to sweep the world, are not so easy to deal with. After Li Ye's sword broke through the opponent's defensive mask, its power actually dropped a lot.
To deal with Dao soldiers, building a team of pure monks with a similar level is the best way.
He Jingcheng ordered the monks from Xianting to besiege him, but they were all stopped by the monster monks at this moment. Li Ye's sword did not have a great impact on their morale, at least all of them were still able to fight.
But seeing how He Jingcheng hid in the watchtower, fearful and afraid to make a move, one could tell how much he was afraid of Li Ye.
The battle continued until nightfall.
The Pinglu army gained a lot, but the Xuanwu army was not manipulated arbitrarily. After all, they still have so many immortal monks who can help them stabilize their position. Moreover, after the hundreds of Taoist soldiers regained their strength, they still had combat power, but they didn't dare to come out again because they were afraid of Li Ye, but it was enough to boost people's hearts.
Because of the newly opened fairy garden, Li Ye didn't have much aura, so he couldn't recover for a while, so he went to slaughter the opponent's Taoist soldiers.
After nightfall, the Pinglu army withdrew its troops and returned to the city to count the results of the battle.
Nearly 10,000 Xuanwu troops were killed and wounded that day, which already exceeded the sum of previous battle losses. After this battle, the Xuanwu army was severely injured.
On that day, the Xuanwu Army retreated overnight.
Li Ye did not rush after him, but chose to accept it as soon as he saw it. Dao soldiers in the night are still too dangerous.
The next day the scouts reported that the Xuanwu army had retreated forty miles.
With the help of Xianting, the Xuanwu army's attack on the Pinglu army collapsed after Li Ye's return to the fairyland and heavy casualties.
There are not many Pinglu troops in Qingzhou, enough to defend the city, but not enough to fight in the field. Li Ye has no plan to counterattack Xuanwu's army and destroy Zhu Wen.
He didn't know if Xianting would send more Dao soldiers down in the future. After using his Heavenly Sword once, it would take a long time before he could use it again.
For Li Ye, his ambition was to sweep the world, and killing Zhu Wen was not that important. Even if he destroys Zhu Wen now, Xianting will go to support other princes and still be able to fight against Li Ye.
What Li Ye needs right now is to accumulate strength to the point where he can defeat tens of thousands of Taoist soldiers in Xianting, so that he can solve the problem once and for all.
Digest Hedong, establish rule over the north, carry out civil reforms in Henghai, Tianping, Zhaoyi, Chengde, Yiwu, Lulong and other towns, and turn the entire north into the next Pinglu, so as to improve its overall strength. This is what Li Ye will do next.
Sweeping the world cannot be achieved overnight.
After Zhu Wen returned to Bianzhou, Li Ye began to restore order in Qingzhou. But with Cui Keli around, he didn't need to worry too much. Including various aftermath matters after the war, he only needs to outline them.
All the way to flatten the north, Li Ye has been traveling for several months, and now it is rare to relax, and finally he can breathe a sigh of relief temporarily, and indulge in the mountains and rivers to change his mood.
Of course, it is impossible to be completely idle. With the expansion of the territory, what is needed most is talents, and he has to worry about this aspect.
...
Pinglu in May is already quite hot, but it is not enough to make people afraid to go out. A strange phenomenon appeared on the streets of Qingzhou City, that is, there are many more women showing their heads than usual.
Whether it is a casual cultivator or a wealthy family, the women put on makeup, light gauze and thin clothes, and took to the streets in twos and threes.
I don't see that they have any serious business to do, but they just stop by the riverside bridge and under the willows with beautiful scenery, and shuttle back and forth among various shops. Without exception, these places are places where people gather.
However, the behavior of the women who often go to the willows by the river is different from the women who often go to the market and shops.
Most of the former are dressed in elegant clothes and have a demure temperament. They can stand for an hour at the next stop at Yangliu, and watch the fish swimming in the river for an afternoon. Regardless of whether anyone spoke to them, anyway, they didn't see anyone who took the initiative to greet them.
The latter are much more lively and active, and their clothes are brighter. Most of them like to wear skirts with very low corsets, and they will chatter non-stop in groups of threes and twos, and sometimes cover their mouths and smile coquettishly. If you meet a handsome young man in rich clothes, the reserved one will be bold and generous, and the bold one will take the initiative to talk to him.
If it rains, the woman in the back will disappear, but the woman in the front will still appear on the street. They like to hold a colorful oil-paper umbrella, stand quietly under the willows or on the stone bridge, looking at the river in a trance.
If the mind is active, it will find a quiet eaves to pretend to shelter from the rain. At this time, if there is a handsome young man in brocade clothes and jade belts to pass the umbrella, then there is basically no need to talk about what will happen afterwards. As long as the young master has a little ink, he can recite a few poems suitable for the occasion, and he is not too dull, which can make a beauty fall in love with him.
Of course, it's not just beauties who fall in love with, the other party may also be a fat man weighing more than two hundred pounds, or an ugly man with freckles all over his face. And in terms of probability, the latter is more likely. After all, beauty is a rare species.
All in all, May is a beautiful time when hundreds of flowers are in full bloom.
The weather was fine that day, and there were especially many women going out for a walk. Many young women gathered by the Lishui River, the most visited place in Qingzhou City.
In the afternoon, beside a small stone bridge, a twenty-eight-year-old woman was posing in the shade to admire the lotus, waiting for some handsome and rich young man to strike up a conversation.
From time to time, she peeked at passing sons, expecting someone to come forward, but after a while, the person she was looking at did not approach. Instead, there was a monkey that came out of nowhere, squatted on the pier and looked at her motionless, not going away for a long time.
Because of the thin clothes and light shirt, the woman who couldn't hide the fat swim ring around her waist gradually became anxious. Isn't this a bad thing for her? Seeing a monkey squatting beside her, which young man would come to talk to her
But the scenery here is good, with lotus at your feet, lush willow branches and leaves beside you, and a lot of shade. It is a rare and good place, and it is not easy to find. Moreover, the other good places were basically taken up, and it was really difficult for her to find a replacement place for a while.
"Go, go, you stinky monkey, while you play, don't stand in the way!" The obese woman glanced left and right, seeing that no one was looking at her, she hurriedly tried to drive the monkey away. In order not to attract the attention of others and find that she has no love, she moves very little.
The clinker monkey actually looked contemptuous and said, "Little girl, do you know why I'm squatting here?"
The freckled woman didn't expect the other party to speak, and she was a little surprised. However, there are many Pinglu monsters, and everyone has already seen it. Anyway, they haven't harmed anyone. "Why?"
The monkey sneered and said, "Because your body is wide enough and the shadow you cast is big enough, which just gives me a place to enjoy the shade."
The woman blushed, her chest was heaving with anger, she put her hands on her hips and said angrily, "How dare you call me fat, you stinky monkey?!"
Monkey shook his head and said seriously, "You misunderstood."
The woman was stunned, and Monk Zhang Er was puzzled, but since the other party didn't say that she was fat, she felt better.
As soon as her face softened, the monkey continued: "You are not fat, you just look like a mountain—may I ask if this mountain is called a two-hundred-jin mountain?"
A novel app that has been running stably for many years, comparable to the old version of the book chasing artifact, the source-changing app used by old bookworms, huanyuanapp.org
The woman ran away.
He covered his face and ran away crying.
The monkey showed a disgusted look: "Ordinary people are really ignorant, they don't have any self-knowledge."
Speaking of this, he looked up at the sky, his eyes were full of sarcasm, as if he was talking to someone: "Dead bald donkey, so what if you got the scriptures, haven't you failed to civilize the world?"
As he said that, the monkey turned into a man, and turned out to be a handsome young man, holding a folding fan and walking towards the predetermined destination.
His appearance attracted a lot of attention along the way, and some ignorant girls even held their chests and screamed.
Not long after walking, a bold woman plucked up the courage to walk up to him, pretending to be passing by, and raised her slender hand to cover her forehead: "Oh, it's so hot, if only someone could pass me an umbrella. "
The monkey was even more unhappy when his way was blocked, "If I were you, I wouldn't ask for an umbrella."
Seeing the other party talking, the woman immediately responded enthusiastically: "Then what will you do?"
The monkey said coldly: "I will ask God for a bolt of lightning to strike me to death. In the next life, I will be reincarnated to look better, so no one will give me an umbrella."
So another woman ran away crying.
The monkey was in a bad mood, so he turned into Fairy Guanghan.
Now no one came up to provoke him, but wherever he walked, there would not be a woman within ten steps, because they would all avoid early in shame. Now the monkey is clean, feeling a little more satisfied, and can't help but admire his own wisdom.
But it didn't take long...
"Girl, on such a hot day, Xiao Ke invites you..."
"roll!"
As the sun went down, Li Ye squatted next to the vegetable garden, watching Su Emei bent over to weed the weeds inside. The golden sunlight illuminated the blue hair beside her ears, making her flawless profile look extraordinarily attractive.
This is Prince An's Mansion in Qingzhou. This vegetable garden was opened up by Su Emei a few years ago, and it has always been taken care of very well. Before leaving for Hedong some time ago, she even sprinkled rapeseed in it, but no one took care of it for a few months, and the weeds grew better than the vegetables.
"Actually, I have always had a question." Li Ye said suddenly.
"What is it?" Su Emei tilted her head to show him a shallow smile, and the soft sunset seemed to melt on the corners of her lips.
Li Ye sighed solemnly: "Do you girls have no sense of touch in your breasts? I always see your breasts, sometimes they are squeezed against the table, sometimes they touch the handle of the sword, they are all deformed, and you But it seems like you didn't notice it at all. Just like now, when you pull the weeds, your chest keeps passing over the blades of grass, and you haven't seen your waist raised."
Su E's eyebrows were white and tender like jade, and her cheeks turned red immediately, making her look charming and charming. She straightened her slender waist like a reflex, and she didn't dare to look at Li Ye again, and cursed angrily, "Deng Tuzi!"
Li Ye laughed. He did have this question all the time, and he really didn't intend to tease the other party.
After picking up the weeds, Su Emei looked at the average-growing leeks and shepherd's purse, showing some hesitation: "These vegetables don't grow well, I'm afraid they don't taste very good."
Li Ye smiled and said, "It's okay, it's okay, after the fairy's hands, no matter how ordinary vegetables can become delicacies, I'll eat this tonight."
Su Emei glared at Li Ye in embarrassment: "Is there still a regular shape? Besides, you are already in the fairyland, so you still need to eat these?"
Li Ye said: "If you don't need to eat, you don't need to eat, but you still want to eat. In life, the only things you can't live up to are love and food. The vegetables in this garden are both taken up. How can I bear not to eat them?"
Su Emei turned her head angrily: "Glib!"
Li Ye asked in surprise, "How does the fairy know?"
Now Su Emei didn't dare to speak at all.
Su Emei picked the vegetables, and Li Ye took them and held them in her hands. The two left the vegetable garden and went into the kitchen together. Li Ye was in charge of washing the vegetables, while Su Emei lit the fire and washed the pot.
Not long after working, the rice was steamed, the vegetables were fried, and the room was full of aroma.
Of course, the main dish is not leeks and shepherd's purse, and this thing can't be used as a main dish, it's just a side dish.
Su Emei put a plate of twice-cooked pork on the table, took off her apron and hung it aside, and sat on the stool by herself. When Li Ye handed her the corn and rice, she said, "How did you think of getting Do you cook like this?"
"You mean stir-fried vegetables? It's simple. I'll be able to do it when I get down from Shenyun Mountain." Li Ye said with a playful smile after sitting down. Tang Chao did not have the culinary art of stir-frying, let alone twice-cooked pork. He taught Su Emei all these.
Su Emei rolled his eyes at him angrily, "Greasy..." In the middle of speaking, she swallowed the rest of the words tactfully, which made Li Ye couldn't help laughing.
"It seems that I came at the right time. I haven't eaten such delicious food for more than a hundred years."
Before Li Ye and Su Emei moved their chopsticks, the monkey appeared on the stool out of thin air.
"The great sage is here?" Li Ye was pleasantly surprised. Before he finished speaking, the monkey took over the job in front of him.
