What should come has finally come.
In fact, more than two months have passed since the first batch of Dao soldiers descended from the Immortal Courtyard, and the second batch of Dao soldiers should have appeared.
Before, Li Ye never thought that the seal would delay him for so long. He actually wanted to take the monster monks back to the mortal world before the second batch of Taoist soldiers descended to the realm. There is no extra emotion at the moment.
"How many people are there in the second batch of Taoist soldiers? Have they been dispatched?" Li Ye asked.
Peng Mowang said: "The number of people is three thousand, and their strength is similar to that of the previous ones. Now they are gathered in Bianzhou City. I don't know if they will be dispatched immediately. But... a secret realm of the Dao of Heaven also appeared in Bianzhou, and Zhu Wen brought the immortals into it. , About before Zhu Wen comes out, the Xuanwu Army will not have any major military operations."
Li Ye basically agrees with King Peng's judgment.
However, three thousand Taoist soldiers are enough to sweep the mortal world, and Li Ye is not sure whether they will really wait for Zhu Wen to come out, "Send an order to Song Jiao to make the Tsingyi Yamen pay close attention to Bianzhou's movements. I will get out of this secret place as soon as possible."
What Li Ye can do now is to come out of the secret realm of the Dao of Heaven earlier than Zhu Wen, and then remove the seal talisman to determine the overall situation of the Yaozu, and then he can bring the Yaozu monks back to resist the Taoist soldiers.
Peng Demon King pondered for a while and said: "Don't worry, I will notify the other demon kings and send a team of monks to Pinglu first to help your people stabilize the overall situation. If soldiers attack Pinglu, they will be able to keep Pinglu intact." .”
"That would be the best."
Li Ye nodded, and then there was a strange look in his eyes, "But the war of the monster race is so chaotic, you can't even repel the beasts, and you can still divide your troops to the mortal world? According to what you said earlier, the monks of the monster race were all killed. Trapped in several big cities, it is impossible not to be blocked by immortals if you want to rush to Lingyundu through the wilderness. Even if you can go to the mortal world in the end, the loss on the way will be huge."
Peng Demon King smiled: "Fortunately, the strength of the Taoist soldiers is not too strong. Sending 3,000 monks from the Realm Monster Race to the mortal world can almost handle it. Although the journey will suffer a lot of losses, we will not lose our vitality after all. Now The Yaozu and you are already grasshoppers on the same boat, don't worry, as long as the Yaozu survives, we will not let you lose your mortal inheritance!"
When he said the last sentence, the voice of Peng Demon King was extremely serious and solemn.
Li Ye felt the will of Peng Mowang, which was the other party's promise.
Speaking of which, Demon King Peng was the first to support Li Ye, and Youda Xiao was the first monster to come to the mortal world. In this way, Demon King Peng is unwilling to accept that the Yaozu have been oppressed by the Immortal Court, and he has the most determined mind to change the status quo.
As far as Li Ye is concerned, he is the most solid kind of ally.
"Thank you." Li Ye said seriously.
He didn't stay long at the beach either.
The strange thing was that when he wanted to cross the sea to the island, a small boat appeared out of nowhere on the empty sea, and came to Li Ye slowly and quickly.
Since there was a boat to pick him up, Li Ye didn't hesitate to step on the boat safely. The secret realm of the Dao of Heaven has always been weird, and Li Ye couldn't pry into its origin, so he didn't bother to worry about the boat being fraudulent, so he couldn't wait at the seaside.
Without Li Ye's driving, the small boat drove towards the male city on the island at high speed, and soon arrived at the island's ferry, without any accidents.
Li Ye left the small boat and walked along the ferry, a wide road was in front of him. At the foot of the mountain was a large peach blossom forest, and he walked into it while being on guard.
Facts proved that Li Ye's precautions were superfluous. When he walked up the stone steps through the peach forest, he did not receive any attack.
The scenery here is picturesque from a distance, and you can feel its beauty even more when you are really in it. The brook beside the road winds and falls from the mountains. There are fish swimming in many pools. Colorful, with pavilions and lofts hidden among them, it is full of poetic elegance.
It's a pity that there is no one in the mountain, so I am less angry.
Before he knew it, Li Ye came to the majestic city built around the top of the mountain.
The city wall is tall and majestic, no less than twenty feet high, all made of white jade, and densely covered with rune formations. The gate is even engraved with the pattern of ferocious beasts, which are ferocious and mighty. Standing in front of the gate, even those who are a little bit timid can't help but tremble.
The city gate slowly opened in front of Li Ye, revealing a wide and clean street with rows of houses on both sides. Li Ye walked along the street and soon came to a city within a city.
Li Ye is very familiar with the structure of the small town, that is the regulation of the imperial palace, but it is undoubtedly more magnificent than the imperial palace in Chang'an.
The Imperial City Gate also opened slowly after Li Ye arrived.
Li Ye walked into it again.
He came all the way to the Tai Chi Hall.
The Tai Chi Hall is the main hall of the imperial palace. Needless to say, Li Ye also knows that this is the place where the emperor holds court meetings.
Walking along the jade steps into the main hall, the inside is spacious and empty. Even if there is no one sitting behind, the royal seat in front of you still gives people a great sense of majesty and oppression. Li Ye came to the case, stretched out his hand to caress the desk, and walked behind the desk involuntarily.
Then he sat facing south and sat on the throne.
In an instant, everything became alive, even the air was filled with warmth, and the sunlight poured into the ground, shining brightly on the floor.
The hall that was originally empty was instantly filled with ministers dressed in scarlet and purple clothes. The capable ministers and generals under Li Ye's command were all among them, Li Zhen, Cui Keli, Liu Dazheng, and Shangguan Qingcheng were all among them, and they were still in the leading position. They looked at Li Ye with awe and eagerness in their eyes.
Outside the Tai Chi Hall, eunuchs stood waiting, and the palace walls of the imperial city were full of armored soldiers. Li Ye even heard the commotion in the city, the sound of cars and horses, hawking, and conversation. His eyes passed through the palace wall, and he seemed to see the bustling streets and alleys, where crowds of people were walking shoulder to shoulder, each busy with their own work.
Li Zhen went out to salute Li Ye: "Your Majesty, the world has been settled today, the world is peaceful, the people in the country live and work in peace and contentment, praise your majesty's benevolence, all countries outside the Great Wall bow their heads and proclaim their ministers, and send envoys to congratulate them. This is something that has never happened in the Tang Dynasty for a century. Shengshi, this is all thanks to His Majesty!"
When the ministers heard the words, they echoed one after another, and then the ministers bowed down and shouted long live.
A smile gradually appeared on the corner of Li Ye's mouth. Isn't this what he expected, the country is peaceful and the people are safe? He has worked hard all his life for this true dragon achievement. So he stood up and lightly raised his hands: "Everyone is flat."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty has a book to play." Cui Keli bowed out, and said in an excited and proud tone: "Your Majesty, the Uighur Khan has arrived in Chang'an a few days ago, and he personally presented the detailed form to show that he will respect the Great Tang from now on. So far in the Western Regions The entire territory has been recovered, please rebuild the four towns in the Western Regions to show our great Tang Tianwei!"
Zhongshuling Cui Keli, Li Ye's mind naturally came up with the other party's official position, he smiled and waved his hand: "Yes!"
"I have my own mission to play." After Cui Keli stepped down, Shangguan Qingcheng stood up and went out, "The forbidden army has been fighting against Tubo for half a year, and has already broken through its royal city and captured the king of Tubo. I, Tang Tianwei, please kill him, and I hope His Majesty will play it."
Li Ye remembered the various crimes committed by Tubo, and immediately said: "Yes!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"Your minister has a book to play." Li Zhen followed closely, "It has been many years since Khitan surrendered, Yelu Abaoji died of illness a month ago, his eldest son Yelubei requested to cut off the title of the country, and set up a state in the royal city, please allow your Majesty. "
"allow!"
...
fifteenth day.
Zhenjiang City is no longer what it was in its heyday, and the high and steep city walls have been destroyed in sevens and eighties. The houses in the outer city were also turned into ruins, filled with the bodies of countless beasts and monsters, stained with blood, and many places were still burning with raging fire and black smoke rising.
Wave after wave of ferocious beasts crossed the city wall, attacked the city from all directions, roared from the ruins and rushed towards the monks of Zhenjiang City who were forced to retreat to guard the important places in the city. So far in the battle, more than half of the monks in Zhenjiang City have been killed or injured, and many of them are still fighting with injuries, so they can only guard fewer and fewer important places.
Because most of the monsters and fierce beasts are below the level of real people, the current battles are carried out in the streets and courtyards. The fighting was extremely brutal, and the streets and alleys were filled with corpses. The monsters have no way out, they can only fight to the death, even so, their territory is also shrinking.
Because the ferocious beasts are ferocious by nature, they don't know what fear is at all.
The monsters are distributed in concentric circles with the city lord's mansion as the center. Now the big monks such as Mi Houwang and Zhao Bofu are fighting against the beasts and immortals in the sky above the city lord's mansion.
After finally repelling the attack of a wave of fierce beasts for a short time, Zhao Bofu was also injured all over his body.
He looked fiercely, touched the blood on the corner of his mouth, and said to the Monkey King: "It is impossible for the fierce beasts and fairy dogs that appeared at the beginning to push us to this point, but these days, the fierce beasts who came to help There are endless beasts and fairy dogs, could it be that we are the only big city in the entire territory?"
If there were only those fierce beasts and immortals who attacked the city at the beginning, not only would Zhenjiang City not be in this situation, it would be very likely to win the battle. However, due to the continuous addition of fierce beasts and immortals, the number has almost doubled, which was unexpected by Zhenjiang City.
Leaving aside the ferocious beasts, every immortal who arrived could cast a Xuanhuang Town Demon Talisman, which meant the fall of a great cultivator from Zhenjiang City. When hundreds of immortals arrived, Rao the Monkey King personally brought the monks to ask for help. The loss of the great monks in Zhenjiang City was still too great, so it was no wonder that they were now attacked by fierce beasts.
The Monkey King looked gloomy and gritted his teeth: "That's not the case. However, among the several king cities of the Yaozu, Zhenjiang City is the closest to the Seven Sacred Mountains. Ever since the breath of heaven was revealed in the Seven Sacred Mountains, there have been fierce beasts and monsters. The fairy dog rushed to help, and it is conceivable that they must have mobilized the forces to besiege other big cities, wanting to break through our place first, and kill the Seven Sacred Mountains in one fell swoop!"
Zhao Bofu was shocked when he heard this remark, and after thinking about it carefully, it was indeed the case.
He immediately said: "That is to say, the fairy dog has changed its strategy, from comprehensively harming the demon territory to focusing on breakthroughs. This is a good thing for the demon warriors in other places, but for us, it is What a disaster."
The Monkey King snorted coldly and said: "It's not that easy for the fairy dogs to capture my royal city. I will fight them to the end in this battle!"
As he said that, he waved his hand to recruit a confidant, and said in a low voice: "Go and see Princess Datang carefully, and don't let her make any mistakes. If the battle goes against me, I will create opportunities for you to break through, and you protect her to go to the Seven Saints Mountain!"
"yes!"
...
The long years passed like water, and three years had passed in the secret realm, and Li Ye had already gotten used to his status as the emperor of the world. He is busy dealing with political affairs every day, discussing with ministers about good strategies for governing the country, receiving foreign missions, issuing various edicts to expand the territory, etc...
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
Under his rule, the world has entered an era of unprecedented peace and prosperity.
Relying on his quality as a traverser, he improved the production tools of the world's agriculture and handicrafts, greatly improving productivity and making the world more prosperous and stronger. He also formed a huge fleet, went overseas to plunder all kinds of wealth, established colonies, and spread the power of the Tang Dynasty to all directions.
On this day, Li Ye finished his whole day in the team and came to the back garden to rest.
Not long after he sat down in Xiaoxuan, the concubines rushed over under the leadership of the queen. Yingying, Yanyan, ring, fat, Yanshou had everything you need, and everyone had a happy smile on their faces.
Li Ye took them out of the back garden and boarded a dragon boat to play in Taichi. Some concubines who were proficient in poetry recited poems and composed Fu under Li Ye's instruction, and concubines who were good at rhythm began to play the piano and dance.
At 10 o'clock in the evening, on the stage beside Taichi, a palace band began to play songs. , the dragon boat hovered in Taichi, which was convenient for Li Ye and his concubines to appreciate and comment.
"Empress, do you still remember, when you and I were playing with mud in Prince An's Mansion when we were young, what was the most common sentence you said?" Li Ye sat on the small bed and asked the empress who was beside him in costumes. This queen is none other than Wu You.
The queen smiled lightly: "Of course I remember, those are three words."
"Which three words?" Li Ye asked with great interest.
The queen stared at Li Ye with a smile in her eyes: "Brother Ye."
Li Ye laughed loudly, raised his wine glass, "Come, Empress, let's have a drink together."
After drinking the wine, naturally a concubine with a lower rank would fill it up for Li Ye. Li Ye took Wu You's hand and put it in the palm of his hand, caressed it carefully, and said with emotion in his eyes: "It's been so many years, it's hard for the queen to still remember the scene when she was a child, and there is nothing wrong with everything."
The queen smiled and said: "The days with His Majesty will never be forgotten when I grow old."
Li Ye smiled, and his tone suddenly became complicated: "Unfortunately, I have forgotten a lot."
"That's because your majesty is busy with government affairs, and you have to worry about world affairs..." The queen didn't take it seriously at all, but comforted Li Ye thoughtfully. However, before she finished speaking, she suddenly lightened up and was pulled into Li Ye's arms.
The queen didn't panic, but closed her eyes instead. She has encountered such situations a lot, and Li Ye would often pull her into his arms in such a rough manner, and then kiss her in public.
But this time the queen was wrong.
Li Ye didn't kiss her.
Not only that, but the queen also felt a piercing pain in her chest.
She opened her eyes unexpectedly and in pain, and she saw in disbelief that a small fruit-peeling knife had been inserted into her chest at some point, reaching to the handle.
