The wind rises.
Two beautiful figures stood on the top of the mountain, looking at the black mountains of Xuanlong in the distance, both of them were speechless.
"Grandma, you..."
"Your Highness!"
"Uh, Xinli-kun."
According to the seniority of Yuan, Xin, Zheng and Zong, Gu Xinli is the aunt of Gu Zongqi. Just hearing the name means she is an old woman. Even in the world of immortal cultivators where everyone knows how to maintain their beauty, this makes female cultivators quite unhappy.
Gu Xinli was no exception. He said that official business should be handled impartially and there was no such thing as seniority among the generals. There was only Lord Xiong Chu Xinli and the Sixth Princess.
Gu Zongqi changed his name and continued the previous topic. Xinli Jun traveled through the foggy sea and broke the Gu family blood curse. Although his contribution was not as great as Gu Zongchen and Yuanji Wang, he also made great contributions by risking his life.
The clan will not neglect meritorious officials. The issue of her title has been put on the agenda. In a few days, Xinli Jun will be promoted to Xinli King.
The father was King Yuanxuan and the daughter was King Xinli. The two kings in one family were very prominent at the time.
Xinli Jun was not very interested in promotion. He stared at the towering Xuanlong Black Mountain that had stood still for thousands of years and sighed softly.
She couldn't understand what benefit the higher-ups would get from being so determined to fight Xuan Long to the death.
The surrounding countries are well aware of Xuanlong's situation. The golden dragon of fortune is entrenched on the northern front, betting the country's destiny against the demon army.
Short-sighted states like Wu Zhou, Qi and Yan were lucky enough to be in the rear and not stand in Xuanlong's position.
Not to mention that Xiong Chu had just untied the blood curse and was in a critical period of keeping a low profile and waiting for a breakthrough, and his foundation was far inferior to Xuan Long. Even if he won the battle and forced Xuan Long to cede territory, and Xuan Long withdrew his troops to defend only one place, and let millions of demon soldiers go south, Xiong Chu would still suffer a great loss in the end.
This business is a loss no matter how you look at it.
Could it be that there is some hidden secret
Gu Zongqi on the side was also puzzled. She had received higher education since childhood, moved in and out of the upper class, and had a strategic vision. She held the same idea as Xinlijun and believed that there was a deeper meaning behind the decision made by the upper level.
The two men discussed for a moment and decided to remain in place. If the other teams did not take action after two days, they would retreat three hundred miles.
Nothing can be used as a gun by others!
At this moment, a monk came flying in the air, sweating profusely and delivering urgent information.
Gu Zongqi took the encrypted jade slip, glanced at it quickly, and his face turned pale.
"Zong Qi, why are you so flustered? Has Xuanlong sent troops?" Xin Lijun said solemnly.
The twenty-three countries in the northern border are an agreed buffer zone of Xuanlong, Xiongchu, Wuzhou, Qi and Yan. These three countries are also afraid of the demon tribe and worry that Xuanlong cannot withstand the demon army, leaving a blank for the purpose of buying time.
The twenty-three small countries were of little use. Gu Zongqi easily reached the border of Xuanlong without encountering any obstacles along the way. Even if there were any, they were only left for eight hundred miles just for show.
It was not until the border of Xuanlong that the Sixth Princess Gu Zongqi was on high alert, ready to fight until the enemy moved, and would never be the first to set foot on the territory of Xuanlong.
Finally, Xuanlong, which was like a stagnant pool of water, could no longer endure it.
Gu Zongqi nodded and handed the jade slip to Xinli Jun, who took a glance at it and felt unwell.
In just one day and one night, three teams were brutally defeated by Xuanlong's beheading tactics, and three princes were captured. Their whereabouts are currently unknown.
According to the accompanying Tribulation Crossing cultivator, the White Hair who had taken action was at the Mahayana stage, with powerful magical powers far beyond those of ordinary cultivators, and...
Not human.
"Not human" does not refer to the demon race, but rather describes this Mahayana cultivator as being cruel and ruthless, without any demeanor of a strong man.
How could he not have the bearing of a strong man? It was mentioned in the jade slips that Xuanlong’s local characteristics are meat-eating, branching out, and treating the princes and princesses differently, and their methods are outrageous.
The first to suffer was the fourth prince Gu Zongyan, because the words of the White-haired Mahayana were too outrageous, the Xiong Chu rear chose to be skeptical until the three princes were captured, and then informed the front line as quickly as possible.
Xin Lijun: “…”
She seemed, might, or seemed to have seen this unreliable style somewhere before.
"Could it be him?"
Xin Lijun frowned, and a smiling pretty boy popped up in her mind. To be honest, she didn't want the pretty boy leader to get involved.
From a public perspective, to show respect to the leader of the Tianjian Sect, Xiong Chu would rather take on the tough bone of Xuanlong than touch Yuezhou, which is so close to his home. This is an active show of goodwill, hoping that the two sides will not interfere with each other.
Even if it costs a little.
Personally, she would rather the pretty boy support Xiong Chu.
"Mr. Xinli, do you know which senior in the Xuanlong Mahayana stage is the one who took action?"
"… "
In terms of cultivation, he is indeed a senior, but in terms of age, he is still a child.
Xin Lijun didn't know where to start, and shook his head slightly: "Maybe I'm overthinking, it shouldn't be him."
As they were talking, the two of them discussed the Mahayana cultivators of Xuanlong. According to the information provided by Master Zhengqing, the abbot of Xuantian Temple, several Mahayana cultivators were not within the borders of Xuanlong. Even if they wanted to return, they would not be able to get away for a while.
"so… "
Gu Zongqi looked at his aunt intently: "Who is he?"
Xin Lijun was helpless and could only say: "Maybe it was the leader of the Tianjian Sect of Wu Zhou. His fusion stage is comparable to that of a Mahayana cultivator. It can only be him."
Gu Zongyi's beautiful eyes sparkled, and he took out the jade slip again, and said thoughtfully: "The intelligence indicates that he is willing to expand the Gu family. Do you think this is true, Xinli Jun?"
During the trip to the Sea of Mist, Lu Bei broke the ancient family's thousand-year blood curse, made great contributions, and possessed the three sacred artifacts of Xiong Chu.
From a political perspective, if she could win the first place, with the help of her husband's great achievements and the three sacred artifacts, her position as crown prince would be basically secure.
Unless Gu Zongchen changes his mind and insists on becoming the crown prince, no one can compete with her.
Xinli Jun: …
Stop dreaming, don’t take it seriously. The pretty boy leader only talks big but he’s actually a coward.
Having been too arrogant and been captured several times, Xin Lijun knew Lu Bei's character very well and was able to prove his innocence with his clear name.
Besides, so what if it's true? It's not Gu Zongqi's turn to be ranked according to seniority.
"Xinli Jun, I think..."
"No, you don't."
Xin Lijun decisively denied it, interrupting Gu Zongqi's fantastic idea: "There is a problem with the intelligence. Whether it is the leader of Tianjian Sect or not is still unclear. Xuanlong's Mahayana period has returned. This is a dangerous place. We must withdraw our troops immediately."
As he said this, he also wanted to exchange identities with Gu Zongqi.
In order to ensure that the commander-in-chief has no worries on the battlefield, from now on, she will pretend to be the sixth princess.
Gu Zongqi recalled the gossip that Xinli Jun was captured three times, and each time he fell into the hands of the leader of Tianjian Sect. During one of the times, his old father, Yuanxuan King, was also captured, and they were eventually redeemed from Wu Zhou with money.
After a little thought, I suddenly realized.JPG
She smiled gently, took off her armor and handed it over: "Thank you for bearing the pain for me, Zong Qi would like to thank you in advance."
"Your Highness, there is no need to do this. Your safety is the most important thing."
Xin Lijun took the armor and put it on without blushing or breathing heavily.
Not far away, a dark shadow was sneaking around under the crooked tree. Seeing this, I couldn't help but wipe the cold sweat from my head.
Lu Bei.
After kidnapping four princes, he extended his evil claws to the three princesses. Gu Zongqi was the closest and was the first victim.
In order to prevent the victim from resisting fiercely during the arrest and refusing to surrender and dying to prove his innocence, thus affecting his reputation, Zhao Wuyou was not released during this arrest.
Unexpectedly, he still overestimated the world of cultivating immortals.
There was no resistance, and there was even a harmonious scene where there were more monks than porridge and people were humble to each other.
This is not just hypocrisy between fake sisters, they are serious, waiting for him to come to them happily!
Because his moral integrity was too high and he was incompatible with the materialistic world of immortal cultivation, Lu Bei was unable to do anything about it.
Never mind, just follow the plan and kidnap the person first.
“Ahem!”
He clenched his fist and coughed lightly, reminding Xin Lijun to hurry up and fold his armor. He walked out of the shadow under the moon with a sullen face and a head of white hair.
"Zhao Wuxie?!"
Seeing this face clearly, Xin Lijun was stunned at first, and then he noticed something and frowned, "Sect Master Lu, when you go out, you always have other people's faces ready. This is really your style."
"What Lord Lu? This general doesn't even know who he is!" Lu Bei gave up hope and acted without any heart.
"Master Lu, please take off this face. A person who is not worthy of his position will surely suffer a disaster. General Zhao does not have the cultivation base of the Mahayana stage. You will harm him instead by helping him establish his prestige." Xin Lijun reminded.
She knew that the white-haired man in front of her was undoubtedly Lu Bei, so out of caution, she insisted on seeing his true face.
"Stubborn!"
Lu Bei snorted coldly, took a step forward and arrived in front of Xin Lijun. At the moment when the latter slowly opened his defense, he sent a straight punch to hit his chest armor.
The void shattered, distant mountains broke, and pillars of dust rose into the sky.
"The Sixth Princess, right? You are quite beautiful. This general is very pleased with you. I will use you to entertain myself tonight." Lu Bei glanced up and down and raised his hand to hold Gu Zongqi's shoulder.
Gu Zongqi: (._.)
Lu Bei: (;°_°)
Unlike the four princes, the dragon energy that protected Gu Zongyi did not resist, and even...
Hoping it was an illusion, he seemed to see Gu Zongqi smile slightly.
Gu Zongqi glanced at Lu Bei, then turned to look at the column of dust rising in the distance, and said to herself that she could do nothing to help. No matter what happened afterwards, she hoped that her great aunt would not take it to heart.
"Master Lu, if you don't leave now, when will you leave?"
"… "
"Lu..."
"Shut up, my last name is not Lu!"
Lu Bei interrupted and, as usual, punched Gu Zongqi in the chest, severing the golden dragon energy in her body.
The golden light disappeared, and when Xinli Jun returned to the place with a sullen face, there was no trace of Gu Zongqi.
—
The process of capturing Gu Zongqi was thrilling and extremely exciting, which made Lu Bei a little numb. He seriously suspected that he was the victim.
It is possible and very likely that Xuanlong and Xiongchu had no intention of going to war. The two actors set up the stage and joined hands to deceive his body.
"Could it be that Qinglong also thinks so..."
Lu Bei was horrified when he thought about it, and in order to verify the authenticity, he rushed to the camps of the other two princesses overnight.
The good news was that the two princesses resisted extremely fiercely. Even when the dragon energy that protected their bodies was broken, they still refused to obey, which greatly satisfied his self-esteem as a villain.
"This is what it means to cultivate immortality. What was that just now?"
Lu Bei felt greatly relieved. He lifted up the princess, patted her butt, and disappeared into the darkness.
After he left, in an inconspicuous corner of the forest, an old man in a monk's robe slowly opened his eyes: "Thank you for your concern, Master. This is a great kindness!"
