On the 20th day of the first lunar month, Li Chaoge hurried back to the Eastern Capital.
The smell of firecrackers on the long street has not dissipated, and red lanterns can be seen everywhere on both sides of the road. The common people are still celebrating the 24th year of Yonghui's new year, but the palace city is already full of sadness.
Prince Li Shan is critically ill and has reached the critical point of life and death.
On the way, Bai Qianhe roughly told Li Chaoge what happened during this period. The prince's health has plummeted since the end of autumn last year. His official career has failed. All kinds of causes coincided together, and the prince's condition became more and more serious. There was a cold wave in the first month, and the prince was hit by the cold air. I'm afraid he won't even be able to survive this spring.
Li Chaoge was not in Dongdu during the Chinese New Year, so he naturally missed these news. Now Li Huai and Li Changle are guarding the palace every day, Tianhou sent people to find Li Chaoge several times, but Li Chaoge only left a letter, other than that there is no trace.
Bai Qianhe tried various methods, but to no avail? He couldn't get in touch with Li Chaoge. Bai Qianhe was desperate, so he could only run to Fenzhou and wait for the rabbit.
Fortunately, he finally got it.
When Li Chaoge heard Bai Qianhe's words, he was angry and helpless: "I told you that I'm just going to Fenzhou to investigate the case, and I'll be back soon. You continue to be on duty at your usual pace. Why are you so flustered?"
Bai Qianhe smiled awkwardly: "I didn't think...Princess, you eloped with Gu Shaoqing."
When Li Chaoge heard it, he became even more unbelievable: "It was clearly written in my letter to you that I went to Fenzhou to investigate the case of Guibei Village. What are you thinking about every day?"
Bai Qianhe was scolded obediently, but also felt that he was wronged. At first, he thought that Li Chaoge and Gu Mingke had just gone out to the world of two people, and they almost came back. As a result, after twenty days in a row, there was no news from Li Chaoge. Bai Qianhe became more and more flustered, he really thought that Li Chaoge took Gu Mingke to roam the world and left him alone.
Thanks to Bai Qianhe's blessing, news of Li Chaoge and Gu Mingke's elopement spread everywhere. After Li Chaoge returned to Luoyang, she parted ways with Gu Mingke and Bai Qianhe at the gate of the imperial city. She didn't even have time to change her clothes and hurried into the palace.
The palace is now in a state of depression, no one dares to speak loudly, no matter the master or the servants, they all walk quietly.
Li Chaoge first went to Wencheng Hall to meet the Queen of Heaven. It's still the first month of the month, but the queen's face is not happy, but rather haggard. Seeing her, Tianhou cheered up and said, "Chaoge, you're back."
Li Chaoge saluted the Queen of Heaven, stood up, and asked: "Your servant is impolite, and now I know that the prince is ill. I don't know how serious the prince's illness is?"
Tian Hou has a serious expression, how can she not be serious? Tianhou didn't want to say more, and said to Li Chaoge: "You are the only one who is not here during the Chinese New Year this year. When the prince was awake, I asked him several times. Now that you are back, go to the East Palace to see the prince."
Li Chaoge bowed his head: "My son obeys orders."
After all, Li Shan is the Queen of Heaven's own son. Now that Li Shan is dying, how can the Queen of Heaven not feel heartbroken? However, no matter how painful the loss of a child is, it will not affect the queen's reason. After Tianhou explained the matter of the East Palace, she asked Li Chaoge: "You left Beijing in a hurry a few years ago, what was the reason for it?"
"Reporting to the Queen of Heaven, the matter was urgent at that time, and I had no time to enter the palace to ask for orders, so I had to leave in a hurry. During this period of time, I searched carefully in the area of Fenzhou, and finally found out the truth about the dead man in Guibei Village in Fenzhou."
The queen pulled herself together and asked, "Oh, what should I say?"
Li Chaoge clasped her fists, she lowered her eyes slightly, and said, "The destruction of Guibei Village was not accidental, but someone was manipulating it behind the scenes. They deliberately poisoned Guibei Village, and after poisoning all the villagers, they used sorcery, He intends to train the corpses into an invulnerable undead army. Fortunately, Erchen went early, and had already nip the corpse change in Guibei Village in the bud. Erchen has now found out the method of poisoning and the way to break it, but it is a pity that the enemy is outnumbered , It is difficult for one minister alone to display it. Wang Tianhou allowed the minister to dispatch three thousand forbidden troops to go to Fenzhou to search the mountains, and completely punish the hearts of rebellious officials and thieves."
When Tianhou heard Li Chaoge's words, the expression on her face became more and more serious. She didn't know what to think of, thought for a while, and asked, "Are you sure it's the army of the dead?"
"I'm sure." Li Chaoge lowered his gaze respectfully, but his tone was very decisive, "I brought back a lot of evidence from Guibei Village. The Zhenyaosi and the governor of Fenzhou were all witnesses. I saw it with my own eyes. Those monsters couldn't hurt them at all. With seven subordinates, I divided them up and defeated each of them. Only ten iron corpses were barely defeated. Only ten people are already so difficult to deal with. If you let the other party breathe , raising an army of tens of millions of people, the consequences will be disastrous.”
After Tianhou finished listening, she couldn't help standing up and pacing back and forth. Fenzhou is the northern gateway of Luoyang. If something happens in Fenzhou, Luoyang will be the first to be hit. Moreover, Tianhou thought even further.
Back then, the Shuofang Mutiny was caused by paper soldiers and paper generals, and those who were bitten by paper soldiers would soon fester and die. The frontline soldiers shouted, and they were called "ghost soldiers". The Shuofang Mutiny almost destroyed the Tang Dynasty. In fact, to this day, the Queen of Heaven still doesn’t know why the Shuofang Mutiny ended suddenly. They don’t know why this disaster started. As if waking up one day, those weird paper soldiers and paper generals suddenly disappeared, Shuofang Jiedu envoys killed the camp, the demons disappeared, the rebels lost their support, the dragons had no leader, and they were defeated. Only then did the imperial army gain the upper hand.
This mutiny started strangely and ended abruptly. Tianhou even felt that it wasn't that the imperial court quelled the rebellion, but that the people behind the scenes didn't push it any further.
Over the past few years, Tianhou has never wanted to think about the Shuofang mutiny, and both she and the emperor deliberately avoided this topic. Now, the incident in Turtle Back Village has brought everything to light again.
The paper figurines were meant to be burned to the dead, but now that the Guibei Village incident is related to the dead, Tianhou had to think in the worst direction. Is it the same person behind these two incidents
Diva dare not gamble. The prince was critically ill, and the emperor was disturbed by the prince's incident, and his health continued to deteriorate. The change of power has reached a critical juncture, and the Empress will never allow anything to happen at this juncture.
Tianhou walked around nervously for a while, and finally made up her mind, saying: "This matter is of great importance, and you cannot be careless. How many imperial troops you need can be transferred to Beiya, and all hidden dangers must be resolved at all costs."
Li Chaoge raised his hand and saluted solemnly: "I obey."
Li Chaoge's voice was majestic and righteous, but her eyelashes drooped quietly, covering up the real emotion in her eyes.
The prince is critically ill, and the deadline is only a few days. Once the crown prince passed away, the emperor's pre-determined successor was vacant, and there was no successor in the Tang Dynasty, so the road to becoming emperor was truly revealed in front of the queen of heaven. With Li Chaoge's understanding of Tianhou, such a god-given opportunity, Tianhou will never let it go. In the future, whether Li Huai is made the prince or the Empress seeks to seize the throne herself, it can be expected that Luoyang will be in chaos for a long time. In muddy waters and turbulent waters, the upper body is most likely to cause trouble. If Li Chaoge wants to achieve a great career, the queen's daughter is her capital, and Princess Li is also her capital.
Supporting Tianhou would offend the clan and courtiers, but if she supported Li Huai, she would be killed by Tianhou before she could live to ascend the throne. Li Chaoge didn't want to offend anyone, since that's the case, it's better to let them stir up this muddy water, and Li Chaoge took three thousand forbidden troops to other states to have fun.
With military power in hand, she has the power to respond no matter what happens. And by thoroughly investigating the Legion of the Dead, Li Chaoge can hide in Fenzhou openly, no matter what happens in Dongdu, she will not express her position, and when the dust settles, she will come back as a hero. At that time, with the credit for solving the case and keeping the goodwill of Tianhou and Li Tang, why not do it
After Li Chaoge and the Queen of Heaven reported the matter, they followed the Queen of Heaven's order and went to the East Palace to visit the prince.
At the moment, the East Palace is very depressed, Li Huai and Li Changle are there. Hearing the message from outside, there was a moment of silence inside, Li Changle and Li Huai stood up one after another: "Sister Sheng Yuan."
When the prince heard that Li Chaoge was coming, the expression on his face was also terribly startled. He sat up with difficulty, and when he turned his head, he saw Li Chaoge walking steadily into the palace with a cold expression: "See the prince."
When Li Shan saw Li Chaoge, his inner emotions were quite complicated. He followed the advice of his subordinates and sent Li Chaoge to get married. On the one hand, he felt that the country and the country were the most important thing, and on the other hand, he also felt guilty.
This younger sister has suffered a lot since she was a child. She was born in the most difficult time of Tianhou. She was lost at a time of national crisis and wandered alone for ten years. After finally coming back, she still faces the fate of being sent to marry her.
Li Shan has been tortured in his heart. Tianhou scolded him for being indecisive, incapable of opening up the territory, and would only make relatives hurt and enemies happy. Li Shan had no ability to refute, so he couldn't afford it. During this period of time, Li Shan struggled repeatedly in his memories. He always wanted to apologize to Li Chaoge face to face, but when Li Chaoge really came from outside the hall, Li Shan suddenly realized that she didn't need his apology at all.
Don't say that the emperor didn't agree with Li Shan's proposal, even if the emperor really planned to let Li Chaoge go to Tubo, she still had a lot of ways to mess up the marriage. She is different from all of them. Li Shan is a prince with a golden body and mud embryo, and his every move must meet the expectations of the emperor and courtiers; Li Huai and Li Changle are the swallows of the emperor's family. ;Only Li Chaoge, a thorn that grows freely, can control his own destiny.
Li Shan came back to his senses and couldn't help but smile wryly. What right does he have to pity Li Chaoge? Li Shan was lying dying in the East Palace, while Li Chaoge was wearing casual clothes with narrow sleeves and a waist, and his body was covered with dust. It seemed that he had just rushed back from other places. She is healthy, strong, intelligent, and courageous, and she doesn't need anyone's pity at all.
After Li Chaoge finished the salute, the hall fell into silence, and no one spoke for a while. As soon as Li Changle saw Li Chaoge, he thought of Pei Ji'an, and couldn't help avoiding his eyes. Li Huai also felt embarrassed when he thought of what happened during this period.
Even though everything was fine at first, why did the parents, siblings, and siblings all change in the blink of an eye? They are as free and intimate as they were when they played polo in Zigui Palace, isn't it good
In the end, the prince was the first to speak. Covering the corners of his lips, he coughed, and said to Li Chaoge weakly: "I didn't see my second sister during the Chinese New Year, and the Holy Queen felt very sorry. Where has the second sister been all this time?"
"Don't dare to be a prince." Li Chaoge lowered his eyes, his tone was respectful, but his attitude was very alienated, "The case of Fenzhou was not settled. I suddenly discovered some doubts a few years ago. I didn't dare to waste time and rushed to Fenzhou immediately. Catch up with the palace banquet. I'm used to wandering outside, so I don't have anything to pay attention to. On the contrary, the crown prince's gold and jade are the hope of the whole court. Your Highness, don't worry about me and other trivial matters, which will hinder your recovery."
The prince took the initiative to show his favor, but Li Chaoge didn't appreciate it. Previously, the prince wanted to send her to marry with a look of concern for the country and the people, but after the turmoil subsided, he showed an attitude of guilt. Who will show the hypocrisy
Li Shan smiled wryly. His emotional changes affected his condition, and he couldn't help turning his head and coughing, as if he wanted to cough out his heart and lungs every time. Everyone broke into a cold sweat when they heard this. Seeing this, Li Huai couldn't stand it any longer, and said, "Sister Sheng Yuan, the prince has been worrying about you these days. The prince is so sick, and he still misses you. Your business. Now that you are back, talk to the prince well. They are all brothers and sisters, so how can there be any overnight hatred?"
"Yes." Li Chaoge answered slowly, "We are all brothers and sisters, how can we bear to see our brothers and sisters suffer."
Li Huai was choked, and the rest of the words were choked in his throat, unable to say any more. Li Shan's face became paler and paler, Li Changle supported Li Shan distressedly, and hurriedly said: "Get the medicine quickly, brother is ill again."
The palace people hurried forward with medicine bowls, and a group of people in the East Palace turned their backs. Li Chaoge gave in and stood quietly by the wall, watching the busy mess in front of him indifferently.
After the prince finished drinking the medicine, he leaned weakly on the pillow. His face was pale and sallow, and those around him felt sad when they looked at him.
Everyone realized that the prince would not live long. Li Shan also knew that his time was numbered. He had suffered from illness all his life, but as a prince, he still couldn't satisfy his parents. Perhaps death would be the relief. Li Shan has accepted his ending, but he is still a little unwilling. He raised his head, looked at Li Chaoge through the crowd, and said: "What happened before... I, my brother, am sorry for you. I still remember when I was young, you liked to pester me the most, and you often took me to accompany you to release paper kites. It's a pity that day The wind was strong, the kite line was broken, and you cried for a long time. I had no choice but to promise to draw you a new paper kite. Later, due to changes in Shuofang, I failed to hand over that paper kite to you, but these years I have been keeping it, just waiting for when you come back, and I will take you to put the paper kite again. I have no intention of explaining the previous thing, I am sorry for you, but I hope you know that in my heart, you have always been my sister .”
Li Changle was listening, greatly touched. Everyone showed expressions of intolerance, and looked at Li Chaoge one after another. But Li Chaoge was still standing far away by the wall. She seemed to be in a daze for a moment, and then her eyes became clear, and she lowered her eyes slightly: "The prince rests at ease, don't think too much. You are the king, I am the minister, and it is my responsibility to share the worries of the prince." Duty."
Li Shan was greatly disappointed, the light in his eyes dimmed instantly. Li Changle was not angry, and said: "Sister Sheng Yuan, the crown prince is so sick, he kindly cares about you..."
"The prince is seriously ill, so he needs to rest more and more." Li Chaoge raised his hand, not wanting to listen to these people's chatter, and said, "The queen has an order to go to Fenzhou to investigate the village destruction. I still have an errand, don't you?" If you dare to delay, please leave first. I wish the crown prince a long life and leave."
After Li Chaoge finished speaking, he walked out with firm and decisive steps. Li Changle was almost stunned, how could there be such a hard-hearted person? Even if the prince proposed to send her to be married, but it didn't come true after all, how could she treat the prince like this? A person who is about to die, what are his words? Good, the crown prince has already apologized to Li Chaoge, what else is she going to do
Why does Pei Ji'an like such a ruthless woman
Li Chaoge strode out, no one in the East Palace dared to stop her. When Li Chaoge walked to the entrance of the hall, Li Shan tried to raise his voice from behind: "I don't intend to say more about the grievances between you and me, but there are grievances and debts, and the crown princess is innocent. The whereabouts of the crown princess is still unknown. How is she Where?"
A faint smile flashed across Li Chaoge's lips, and it disappeared in an instant: "Your Highness's Crown Princess, how do I know?"
After finishing speaking, she strode out of the East Palace without a pause.
After Li Chaoge left, the waiter in the East Palace looked at the gray-faced prince, then at the unkind-looking King Zhao and Princess Guangning, neither of which dared to persuade him. They bowed their heads and retreated silently.
After Li Chaoge got the Queen's approval, he went back to the princess mansion and changed his clothes, and then went to the Beiya to pick someone up. Dispatch of troops is not a trivial matter. Food, grass and supplies must be arranged in advance, armor must be applied to the Ministry of War, and the official dispatch order must wait for the approval of the subordinate province. Li Chaoge has been busy with the deployment of troops during this period of time, and he is so overwhelmed that he has no energy to pay attention to other things. Li Chaoge went to Beiya to reorganize the manpower. She stayed in the barracks all day long. When she came out, she saw paper kites flying in the sky, and several children were running on the grass holding strings, flying kites and playing around wantonly.
Li Chaoge raised his head along the thin thread, and saw several paper kites of different shapes flying in the sky, one of them rose the highest. Suddenly, the kite slammed, and the children shouted from the ground: "The kite string Broken, it? Fly away!"
Seeing Li Chaoge staring at the broken kite, the guard asked, "Princess, what's wrong?"
"It's nothing." Li Chaoge shook his head, took the rein and walked towards the city gate, "It's fine if it's broken. It's been bound by a rope all its life. Now, it? Is finally free."
As soon as Li Chaoge entered the city gate, people from the Princess Mansion rushed up to him and said in a low voice, "Princess, something is wrong. The prince is critically ill."
Li Chaoge rushed to the palace immediately, but when she arrived, there was already crying in the east palace, and the attendants changed into sackcloth and wept in the palace.
Li Shan died of illness.
Li Chaoge went back to the Princess Mansion to change into filial clothes, then entered the palace and went straight to the Hall of Renshou. Now everyone is guarding the emperor's side. The emperor was already in poor health, but after such a severe blow, his spirit became even more sluggish. Tianhou's face was not wearing any makeup, and her complexion was pale, as if she had aged three years in one day.
The palace servants reported at the door, and the emperor heard Li Chaoge coming, and said, "You are here too. The prince is gone. After a while, you go and see him off for the last time."
Li Chaoge agreed. The emperor has heard Tianhou talk about the matter of Fenzhou. Although the emperor is heartbroken about the loss of his son, the matter of Jiangshan can't be sloppy. The emperor solemnly said: "You will thoroughly investigate the case of Fenzhou. I have been exhausted recently. If you have any requirements for manpower and payment, you can directly talk to Tianhou."
The Queen of Heaven replied softly: "Saint, don't worry, with me here, everything will be arranged properly. The Saint only needs to take care of his body and don't have to worry about external things."
There is no problem with these words in the past, but now that the prince has died of illness and the East Palace is empty, Tianhou's words suddenly become subtle. Everyone in the hall lowered their eyes and remained silent. In the Hall of Renshou, only the intermittent voice of the emperor could be heard: "It's been a long time for you. You arrange the prince's funeral. He is kind and filial. Ascend to the throne, and let him go in glory after death."
Respond one by one after the day. Tianhou seemed to hesitate for a moment, and asked tentatively: "Sage, the crown prince's funeral is naturally going to be big, but Chaoge's wedding is in July this year, do you want to postpone it?"
The emperor's voice was low and hoarse, and he said weakly: "No need. Chaoge is getting old, so there is no need to avoid it. The wedding will be held as usual."
The Empress paused for a moment, speechless in response. Others might not understand, but Tianhou felt keenly that the reason why the emperor said this was because he felt that his time was short, so he wanted to see Li Chaoge get married as soon as possible.
It's about his own marriage, Li Chaoge is not easy to express his opinion. Li Changle heard it from the side, and felt quite uncomfortable.
She was forced to escape into Buddhism because of her marriage, and she is still guarding the Taoist body. However, Li Chaoge made a fool of himself and got engaged to the person he liked without punishment. Now even the prince is dead? There is no need to avoid it.
Li Changle didn't know whether to blame his parents for being biased or unfair luck.
The prince's funeral was varied and complicated. After attending the burial ceremony, Li Chaoge was exhausted when he returned to the Princess Mansion.
The maid brought her tea soup, Li Chaoge glanced and saw a box on the Duobao Pavilion.
Li Chaoge hadn't noticed anything in this before, and asked, "What is this?"
The maid took a look and replied: "Princess Hui, it is a brocade box sent by the East Palace a few days ago. I have been busy with the funeral of the prince for a while. Chang Shi forgot about this and kept it in the warehouse. take it out."
Li Chaoge was slightly taken aback, she paused for a while, and asked, "What day did you deliver it?"
"It seems to be the third day of February."
The third day of February was the day when Li Shan passed away. Seeing that Li Chaoge's gaze was fixed on the box, the maid got up and stepped forward, gently opened the box, and held it in front of Li Chaoge.
In the wooden box of red motel is a yellowed swallow kite. Li Chaoge watched it for a long time, but she didn't remember anything about her childhood. After she got lost, everything before she was six years old was like a dream, vague and unknown. Li Chaoge doesn't even remember his parents, let alone letting go of the kite with Li Shan when he was a child. She thought it was just his exaggeration that day.
It turned out that he really kept it for many years.
The maid looked carefully at Li Chaoge's face and asked, "Princess, this paper kite looks exquisite, do you want to hang it up?"
"No need." Li Chaoge closed his eyes, put his hand on the center of his brows, and said calmly, "Take it to the warehouse. You don't have to tell me again."
The maid was confused for a moment, not understanding Li Chaoge's intentions. If the princess doesn't like it, why? You have to watch it for so long, but if you like it, why throw it into the warehouse? The maid didn't dare to say more, and replied in a low voice: "Yes."
The maid stepped back carrying the wooden box, and another group of maids came in to exchange tea and asked, "Princess, will the meal be the same tomorrow?"
"No need." Li Chaoge put down his hands and slowly opened his eyes. Under the light, her eyes were clear and black, and the tired look just now was gone: "Get ready to pack, I'm going to Fenzhou tomorrow."
On the second day after Li Shan's burial, Li Chaoge went to Fenzhou to investigate the case with the entire staff of Zhen Yaosi and 3,000 troops.
When she left, she took Gu Mingke away by the way on the pretext that she needed the cooperation of other departments. Only Gu Mingke knows about matters related to the Martial God Temple best. Moreover, no matter how heartless Li Chaoge is, he can't come out to avoid the limelight by himself, but throw the future son-in-law in the center of the whirlpool. In terms of emotion and reason, Gu Mingke must go with him.
The last time Li Chaoge and Gu Mingke visited the Martial God Temple alone, they were very careful in their actions. This time, they had no scruples. Li Chaoge led people directly to the temple and searched the mountain.
Mo Linlang and Zhou Shao stayed at the foot of the mountain to search the village, Li Chaoge and Bai Qianhe inspected the altar deep in the mountain, and Gu Mingke took Dali Temple to search the mountain road. There was no one in the altar, and the statue of the Valkyrie stood tall, staring at the mortals under their feet without joy or sorrow. The three coffins on the altar were opened wide, and the food and map were gone. The three women must have escaped.
The demon guards rummaged around the altar, not letting go of anything suspicious. Li Chaoge stood in front of the altar, raised his head, and stared at the statue for a long time.
All the clues revolve around the God of War, the portraits of Guibei Village, the invulnerable corpses, the spirit plaque of "Emperor Qiu Qin" engraved in the ancestral hall, the resurrected undead village at the foot of the mountain, the four stone warriors, and the sacrifice of a girl , and the army of the dead.
It seems that there are hands behind it, plucking the hook strings in a planned way, pushing everything in an unknown direction. Li Chaoge looked at it for a while, then raised his breath and flew up to the statue of the Martial God. When she came last time, she had injuries on her body, she couldn't mobilize her true energy, and she was powerless to do anything. This time, she didn't have any scruples, so she had to check it out.
The statue of the Valkyrie is very tall and big, and standing on the opponent's palm, Li Chaoge looks very small. As soon as Li Chaoge fell down, he realized that the statue was far more detailed than the portrait. Many places were passed around in the portrait, but this statue was carved out in detail.
Bai Qianhe came out from the side room, he searched around, only to find that Li Chaoge was on the stone statue. He formed a trumpet shape with his hands, and shouted to Li Chaoge: "Commander, there seems to be words here."
Li Chaoge jumped up and down on the eight arms of the Martial God, and when she heard Bai Qianhe's voice, she took the time to reply: "Got it, I'm here right now."
Li Chaoge didn't find any hidden mechanisms, and was about to jump off when he suddenly saw something. Li Chaoge calmed down, followed the stones, and walked slowly to the fingertips of the statue.
Bai Qianhe was waiting below. Seeing Li Chaoge stop, he couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?"
Li Chaoge quietly stared at the sword in Valkyrie's hand, speechless for a long time. Bai Qianhe yelled from below again, Li Chaoge jumped down from the height, and landed lightly on the ground: "It's all right. Where are the words you said?"
Bai Qianhe looked at Li Chaoge, then at the statue above, thinking that it was nothing more than a sword, what was there to see? Bai Qianhe didn't think about it, so he didn't think about it again. He guided Li Chaoge and said, "It's right here."
Li Chaoge followed Bai Qianhe to look, and sure enough, he found a large piece of ancient characters on the wall. Li Chaoge couldn't recognize it either, so he could only ask the people from the demon town to rub down the characters and bring them back to Dongdu to study slowly.
Bai Qianhe rushed to expand the characters, Li Chaoge handed over the trivial matters to them, and went to other places by himself. She walked out of the altar slowly, and the sunlight in the mountains rushed into Li Chaoge's eyes. Li Chaoge raised his sword to block the scorching sun above.
Under the bright sunlight, the Qianyuan Sword reflected a cold metallic luster. Li Chaoge carefully looked at the pattern on the sword body, and not surprisingly, he found that every pattern matched.
What the Valkyrie statue held in its hand turned out to be Qianyuan Sword.
