Jiang Xian'er's beautiful face couldn't help but have a look of contemplation. After a long while, she said, "In my daughter's opinion, Prince Li will not give up until he sees his father.
Moreover, we have turned him away twice, but he is still not angry, and threatened to come again tomorrow, and also gave away a valuable elixir king, which shows that he is open-minded and does not hold a grudge against his father.
He is magnanimous and broad-minded. If such a person becomes an emperor, he will definitely be a wise king. "
Jiang Longxiang listened thoughtfully to his daughter's analysis, but then he said with a half-smile, "My good daughter, you have such high regard for him, do you like him?"
"Father, you're here again! I'm helping you analyze, but you're making fun of me and ignoring you!" Jiang Xian'er rolled her eyes at her father and walked away.
Watching his precious daughter leave, Jiang Longxiang's originally smiling face suddenly became serious. Longzi's seizing the legitimate son is an extremely dangerous matter. If the bet is right, the benefits will be unimaginable. If the bet fails, It is very possible that the entire family may be completely destroyed.
If it hadn't been for the help of Prince Wu Ming, he would not have been able to take the important position of Minister of War. Now, Prince Wu Ming has no interest in government affairs, but his son Li Li is pretending to compete with the other three princes for the throne.
It stands to reason that based on the kindness of Prince Wuming, he should unconditionally support Prince Li. However, he also has his own considerations and does not want to be labeled as Prince Li's camp so quickly.
However, Prince Li's visit two days ago made him quite distressed. Should he openly support him directly, or should he temporarily shut him out and then secretly help him
"Forget it, let's see what happens in the next few days! If he persists, I can only obey his wishes, but in this way...!"
… …
The next day, Yan Li came outside Jiang Mansion again and asked someone to send a greeting card.
Jiang Chong did not dare to neglect and hurriedly sent the greeting card to the house. When Jiang Longxiang opened the greeting card, his slightly heavy eyes suddenly brightened, and he couldn't help but secretly praise "What a young prince!"
"Jiang Chong, go tell Prince Li that I haven't recovered yet and need to rest for a few months, so that he won't come again."
"Father!"
"master!"
Jiang Xianer and Jiang Chong couldn't help shouting.
"Go! I have my own sense of discretion." Jiang Longxiang waved his hand.
Jiang Chong left, and Jiang Xian'er muttered with some dissatisfaction, "Father, you turned away Prince Li three times when he came to visit. Are you going a little too far?"
"Oh, my good daughter, your elbows are turned outward. It's really sad for a father!" Jiang Longxiang joked with a smile.
"Father."
Jiang Xian'er saw that her father was still not serious at this moment, so she couldn't help but stamp her feet angrily.
"Okay, good girl, don't be angry. Just look at this greeting card and you will know!" As he spoke, Jiang Longxiang brought Yan Li's greeting card to her.
"Prince Li's greetings!"
She took the greeting card and opened it, and was immediately attracted by the spiritual font. After reading it carefully, she found that there was nothing special about the greeting card except the handwriting.
But when her father showed it to her, he must have a deep meaning, so after looking at it carefully, he finally saw the clues. This greeting note only had four lines. If the first words of each row were connected together, it would be "Please refuse again." ".
"Good girl, do you understand now why your father still rejects him?"
Jiang Longxiang smiled, his understanding of Yan Li rising to a new level.
"Father, what does Prince Li mean by this?"
Jiang Xian'er put down the greeting card and frowned slightly, but she was a little confused in her heart. Why did he do this
"Good girl, it shouldn't be difficult to tell with your intelligence. Haha, my father is in a happy mood today and has to have a big meal!" Jiang Longxiang laughed, left the study and headed to the dining room. He has a special hobby, Whenever something happy happens, they like to have a big meal.
After frowning and thinking for a while, Jiang Xianer finally realized, "That's it."
Cheng Wangfu.
Li Chengzong listened to the report of his men, with a mocking smile on his lips.
"It seems that my nephew is a little impatient. He has been rejected for three visits to Jianglongxiang. Now I am afraid he will become a laughing stock.
Come on, prepare a big gift for me and go to Jiang Mansion! "
Half an hour later, Li Chengzong returned to the palace, but he couldn't help but threw the cup. Unexpectedly, he was also turned away by Jiang Longxiang.
In the blink of an eye, several days passed.
On this day, a sneaky figure came to Prince Yan's Mansion and entered the Prince's Mansion through the back door.
In the side room.
Du Tianlang bowed respectfully to the back of a figure and said, "Please ask Tianlang to see King Yan."
Li Chengxun slowly turned around and looked at Du Tianlang with an indifferent expression. For a moment, the other person felt cold all over and said quickly, "King Yan, this subordinate deserves death. I have failed to live up to your expectations!"
"Since your crime deserves death, why do you still come to see me?"
Li Chengxun finally spoke. Although his tone was calm, anyone could hear the dissatisfaction contained in his tone. He could ignore the Tianlang Gang's harm to the Imperial City, but the destruction of the Tianlang Gang would mean that he would lose a lot of income every year. In order to compete for the throne, whether it is to bribe the army or the people in the court and the palace, a lot of money is needed. Without this income, it will directly affect his plan.
Du Tianlang's heart dropped when he heard this, and at the same time, his inner hatred for Yan Li greatly increased.
"However, I can give you a chance to atone for your sins!" Li Chengxun changed the topic, and a cold murderous intent suddenly appeared in the corner of his mouth.
"Please make it clear, Your Majesty!"
"Go kill him! I will rebuild the Sirius Gang for you!"
"What!"
Du Tianlang's face suddenly turned pale. Although he hated Yan Li half to death in his heart, he never thought of killing him. After all, the other party also had the strength to compete for the number one position in the world.
While he was hesitating, a pair of cold eyes fell on him.
"It's okay! You can refuse! However, you can't stay in the imperial city. I will let someone give you a safe place to live your life!"
"No! I am willing to atone for my sins!" Du Tianlang said hurriedly, but his heart was filled with bitterness. Li Chengxun's so-called safe place might be like hell. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a huge sadness in his heart. The heaven he built The Wolf Gang had brought him countless wealth over the years, but in the end, once the Sirius Gang was wiped out, he became an abandoned son.
"Go! Once he dies! You will become the leader of the Sirius Gang again!" Li Chengxun waved his hand with an indifferent expression.
Prince Yong's Mansion, in the garden.
Yan Li stood with his sword in hand, his eyes seemed to be closed. After a long time, he suddenly opened his eyes, and two rays of divine light shot out from them.
"cut!"
The edgeless sword suddenly pierced into the void, and in an instant, dense sword energy erupted. The powerful sword force spread, and within a radius of ten meters, it became a sword energy storm.
"Why!"
After a while, the storm dissipated and everything turned into a thick sigh.
The "Unknown Sword Codex" is too profound. Even if his three souls merge into one and he has supreme wisdom, it will be difficult for him to understand its secrets in a short period of time.
His mind entered the Hunyuan space, and the spiritual fetus clone was still in seclusion. From his compact brows, it could be seen that he was not going well in comprehending the "Five Sword Codex".
"It's perfect, it's perfect, it's a desperate situation, it's a chestnut in the fire!"
Yan Li kept chanting the names of the three sword techniques, secretly trying to figure out the artistic conception of the sword techniques contained in them.
"These three sword techniques are based on the heart of the sky, the heart of the earth, and the heart of the human heart. If you want to understand it, you have to travel to the ends of the world with your sword to understand the mysteries of heaven, earth and people. If you have a heart for kingship, you don't need to practice this sword!"
A soft voice interrupted Yan Li's thoughts. He raised his eyes and couldn't help but feel happy. He put away his edgeless sword and stepped forward, bowed and said, "The child has met his father."
Li Wuming, who was dressed in a white robe and with flowing black hair, helped Yan Li up and said softly, "This set of "Wu Ming Sword Code" was obtained by my father from the secret realm of the Eastern Wasteland. After thinking about it, I knew that it was not It is suitable for my cultivation, so I gave it to Senior Brother Xiahou. Unexpectedly, more than ten years later, he would teach it to you!"
Yanli Master Xia Houzun told what happened back then, and knew that his father obtained a treasure from the secret realm. Could it be that this treasure is the "Unknown Sword Codex"
Putting the question in his mind, Li Wuming nodded and said, "Yes, it is this sword manual. This sword manual is divided into nine moves and nine artistic conceptions. It is very rare for senior brother Xiahou to understand three artistic conceptions."
Yan Li frowned. The strength of low-level warriors is mainly reflected in their true energy and moves. Once promoted to the king's realm, the way to win lies in their artistic conception.
But as far as he knows, warriors generally only realize one artistic conception, and those who can realize two artistic conceptions are all geniuses. As for nine, they have never heard of it since ancient times.
Artistic conception can also be said to be the thoughts of martial arts. According to the saying on earth, too many thoughts will cause schizophrenia. Thinking that in order to complete the "Unknown Sword Code", you need to understand the nine artistic conceptions. Maybe you have not yet completed it. I became mentally ill.
"Father! Should I give up this sword code?" Yan Li asked unwillingly.
"If you give up, you will gain! Everyone has his own way! Although this sword canon is wonderful, it is someone else's way after all. Even if you succeed in cultivation, your achievements will not surpass the person who created the sword canon! So what if you give up? ?”
The sentence "So what if I give it up" made Yan Li feel the arrogance in Li Wuming's heart. Faintly, he felt that the father in front of him had become extremely tall, making him feel like he was standing tall on a mountain.
With a thought in his heart, he asked, "Father, what is your way?"
"Is it my way?" A trace of wistfulness appeared on the corner of Li Wuming's mouth, and he slowly said, "My way used to be the way of infatuation, but after being taught by you, it has become the way of love."
"Infatuation? Love?"
Yan Li's face was full of doubts.
Suddenly, Li Wuming's demeanor suddenly changed, and the air seemed to be filled with a strong smell of sadness. This kind of sadness can make people heartbroken and give people a feeling that there is no hope for life.
For some reason, tears filled the corners of his eyes, and he suddenly felt that nothing in the world could attract him, and he had the idea of wanting to die.
But at this moment, the sadness suddenly disappeared. Yan Li suddenly woke up and looked at Li Wuming with a smile on his lips. He suddenly understood that at that moment, he had fallen into his infatuation.
For a moment, he couldn't help but break out in cold sweat, secretly crying out in terror. This kind of artistic conception made his heart completely collapse. If he had the intention to harm him, he might not have the slightest resistance at all.
"Father, your current cultivation level...?"
Faintly, Yan Li felt that his father Li Wuming's cultivation level should be even more powerful than his master Xia Houzun.
