Chapter 488: Tiance's Background, King Qin Joins the Game (asking for monthly tickets)

There were many changes in the eighteen prefectures of Jiangnan. After the initial conflicts, strong opposition and condemnation, many officials from the Ministry of Rites began to prepare for the king's coming-of-age ceremony step by step.

The money has been paid!

We must make this coming-of-age ceremony famous throughout the world.

His name will be passed down to future generations!

Even thousands of years later, when their descendants have forgotten their ancestors, they can still record our names in history books, so that future generations of scholars will know our names.

With this mentality, Qu Hanxiu and others began to concentrate on preparing the various procedures and specifications for this coming-of-age ceremony. However, His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin had not been seen for three days, which made Qu Hanxiu, the stubborn old man, very angry.

But it's just a stab in anger.

They were very worried when their Royal Highness the Prince of Qin disappeared for three days.

Later, it was discovered that the prince had gone out hunting on horseback and flying eagles. Qu Hanxiu and others looked at each other in bewilderment and could only leave it as it was. After all, it was a young king who had made such a great reputation, so it was normal for him to like these kinds of singing and dancing.

But that old and undisciplined Qu Hanxiu stood outside the Qin Palace in the wind and snow, stiffening his neck and shouting loudly, "The world is still unsettled, so please, Your Highness, do not indulge in hunting, singing and dancing, and still need to be frugal in accepting gifts and restrain your desires."

This move shocked the other officials of the Ministry of Rites.

What are you talking about, are you dying?!

Qu Hanxiu scolded his colleagues, saying that it was wrong for the King of Qin to disrespect etiquette, but it was also against etiquette for the King of Qin to indulge in his desires. Regardless of whether the King of Qin would listen or not, this old man had to say it.

Cursing.

As a result, the original officials of the Ministry of Rites gradually distanced themselves from this old man.

However, what the King of Qin was concerned about during this period was not the general situation of the world. In the wilderness, Li Guanyi whistled. His internal energy was full and he let out a long roar. The sound pierced through gold and split rocks and was heard far away.

But in the sea of ​​clouds, a loud eagle's cry was heard in response.

The sea of ​​clouds split apart, and a divine eagle with golden wings tore through the sea of ​​clouds, swooped down, shrunk its body size, transformed into an ordinary flying eagle, and landed on Li Guanyi's outstretched arm.

It is on the vast grassland that the auspicious beast symbolizes freedom.

The divine eagle's head-on combat capability is only equivalent to that of a human master, but its strengths lie in its powerful vision, its speed that far exceeds that of a master-level warrior, and its high-speed assault capability.

If you travel the world with the divine eagle as your companion, you will naturally be successful in everything you do.

But in the face of a large army, the fast but weak-defense Divine Eagle cannot, like the Ancient Red Dragon, use its physical body to confront the might of the army. It seems that its combat capability has weakened, but as a scout, there is no one more suitable than it.

For Li Guanyi's subsequent plan, the scout capability of the Divine Eagle Xiangrui level is crucial.

During this period of time, he was waiting for an opportunity while improving the relationship between himself and the Divine Eagle Xiangrui.

Speaking of this auspicious sign, after being communicated with in a friendly manner by the Red Dragon using the ancient, efficient and wise auspicious communication method, it humiliatingly agreed to various covenants with Li Guanyi.

In fact, at the beginning, when Chilong was around, this guy was very honest.

Once the Red Dragon left, the old ways began to return to a certain extent.

In this situation, Ashina felt that he had to keep the eagle alive.

But Li Guanyi called on the omnipotent Lei Laomeng. After research, Lei Laomeng came up with an idea. This guy captured various exotic beasts and eagles from the Western Regions, Southwest, mountains and rivers, Central Plains, and North, all of which were female.

These handsome falcons were locked up together with the proud, free, prodigal condor of the grassland.

At first, Shenying Xiangrui sneered.

The aloof son of the grassland.

Freedom, freedom!
How could I possibly surrender to...

"So, now he has about seventeen offspring, and there are more than thirty eggs incubating. Well, the whole family has inherited the blood of the auspicious flying eagle to some extent."

The omnipotent Lei Laomeng reported to Li Guanyi, saying: "These flying eagles do not have the power of Xiangrui, but when they grow up, they also understand human nature and have the power of the third heaven."

"Select warriors who are good at fighting in the army and have them help raise these flying eagles. They will be like brothers since they were young, and when it comes to battle, they can communicate with each other. As a scout camp, they can exert a strength that surpasses others."

"However, we need to truly care about these flying eagles and other animals. We cannot treat them as our tools. Only when we treat them as our comrades and fellow soldiers will these animals be willing to accept the soldiers in the scout army."

It was obvious that the auspicious eagle surrendered to the handsome flying eagle that Lei Laomeng had found.

But Caoyuan Xiangrui didn't think it was his fault.

These are beautiful flying eagles that can be found all over the world, in the Western Regions, the Southwest, the Central Plains, and the South of the Yangtze River. They are of different species and are all at the level of exotic beasts.

The divine eagle that grew up on the grassland and was thousands of miles away from all the eagles flying there.

How could anyone withstand this series of moves from Lei Laomeng of the Exotic Beast Villa?

Damn it, Lei Laomeng, you are so despicable!
Xiangrui of the grassland stayed in different types of eagle nests every day. While eating the beef sent to him, he said indignantly that Lei Laomeng was insulting him. Lei Laomeng said yes, yes, yes, while putting his arm around Xiangrui's shoulder and stuffing snow lotus from the Western Regions into Xiangrui's mouth.

It nourishes yin and replenishes yang. It’s a good thing.

The great auspiciousness of the grassland means that you have done a good job, Lei Laomeng.

I'll give you half.

Lei Laomeng laughed and said, "How can this be possible?"
Hello brothers, Hello brothers.

Seventh Prince Ashina: “…………”

No, Your Majesty.

What kind of people are under your command? !

Lei Laomeng is now 43 years old, with some white hair on his temples. His martial arts skills have only reached the third level due to drugs. With a thick-backed golden machete, Li Guanyi was able to beat him to a pulp when he was only 14 years old.

But along the way, during the wild growth period of Tiance Mansion and Qilin Army, he was forced to learn various skill books. Even if the founder of the Monster Villa crawled out two hundred years ago, he would have to shout "Ancestor is above". What a unlucky thing.

Under the corruption of wine, sex, money and power, the auspiciousness of the grassland shamefully surrendered.

"In addition, based on the dragon blood soil, dragon blood grass, and dragon blood itself that you gave us, we have made some new attempts." Lei Laomeng reported to Li Guanyi with a thick stack of files, saying:
"Among them, the dragon colts at the exotic beast level have the greatest reaction to the blood of the red dragon."

"In ancient times, the term 'dragon' had a very broad scope."

"There are powerful creatures in the air, among beasts, and in the water that are called dragons. These dragon foals are the descendants of dragons of beasts. Most of the dragon foals at the level of exotic beasts may have brothers that are ordinary horses."

"Only when the ancient blood hidden in the body is stimulated to a certain level can it grow into a dragon colt. We found that if these dragon colts grow up on land covered with red dragon blood soil, their blood will be further stimulated."

"It's as if the divine will hidden in their blood has sensed their old enemy and has been forced to become active, just like ordinary people seeing a tiger in the mountains."

"I originally thought that it was the blood of the exotic beasts that suppressed ordinary horses."

"So I asked for the blood of the Nine-Colored Divine Deer and the Fire Kirin, and used thirty carts of animal milk to exchange for a basin of black and white rolling ball's blood..."

Li Guanyi was stunned: "Wait a minute, how much?"

Lei Laomeng said, "One basin, General."

"As long as you prepare enough large basins of beast milk for Him, He will not bother to care about what you do. Don't worry, with His true strength, this basin of blood will have no effect on Him at all."

Li Guanyi's mouth twitched: "Okay, go on."

Lei Laomeng said: "But it is useless. Only the blood of the ancient red dragon has this effect. So, based on the classics of our ancestors and the results of our research during this period, we have come to a conclusion."

Lei Laomeng was silent for a while, looking at what he had written, his face full of confusion, as if he had seen a ghost, but after hesitating for a while, he still said: "I suspect that the ancestors of these dragon horses should have seen the ancient red dragon of that era."

"It's highly likely that he's been beaten."

"There's a high probability of being beaten badly."

"And they were beaten. The blood of their descendants are all at a level that reacts to the ancient red dragon. If possible, I hope to train dragon horses in the place where the red dragons live. I can definitely train a heavy cavalry composed entirely of dragon horses."

Li Guanyi was shocked: "All of them are Longma?!"

A divine horse or beast, with a chest over eight feet high, is called a dragon.

Such a dragon horse is fully capable of carrying heavy armored cavalry of the Iron Pagoda level and conducting short-distance raids at the speed of light cavalry. Even the three major heavy cavalry of the time did not have the luxury of using all dragon horses as mounts.

Lei Laomeng raised his head.

He grinned. This man, who came from an ordinary background, was in his thirties and was still just a low-level person who yearned for the world of martial arts. He had struggled in this world and was forced to move forward. He had come all the way here. He did not laugh and joke like he did in the past.

He simply replied, "Yes."

"Eight thousand dragon horses, with chests eight feet high, can run as fast as lightning. They can go three days without food or water and still run three hundred miles and maintain their fighting ability. They can also eat seven days' worth of food in one day. They can run so fast that they can catch up with arrows shot from the horses. Sitting on the horses' backs, one can reach out and catch an arrow with one's hand."

"It will only take three to five years, I guarantee, and we can do it."

The dragon horse that gallops as fast as lightning was recast from the materials in the White Tiger Sect's arsenal. It drew on the precision of the Central Plains armor and the characteristics of the Iron Pagoda armor to make the armor. In addition, it also added the medicinal materials in Chen Baxian's secret realm. A force that is almost superior to the three major cavalry forces of this era is about to be revealed.

This doesn’t happen overnight.

These six or seven years have been a period of gradual progress and accumulation. At this moment, they suddenly burst out. Li Guan said, "Then I'll have to trouble you, Lei Laomeng."

Lei Laomeng grinned.

Just like when they were wandering troops, they said:
"Follow the king's orders!"

He turned and strode away. Ashina looked at him with envy and said, "Your Majesty, you have many excellent ministers."

Li Guanyi smiled and replied: "Yes, so I am very lucky."

When Ashina asked Lei Laomeng later, Lei Laomeng looked at several of his fellow apprentices and then burst into laughter. Ashina was a little confused. Did he say something wrong?

Lei Laomeng said, "Before we followed the king, we were just low-level disciples in a Jianghu sect in the southern part of Chen State. We cleaned the square for the sect every day in exchange for a pitiful amount of merit. For a nourishing pill every month, the outer disciples fought each other."

Ashina was silent, and said, "Is it the Yangqi powder that people under thirteen take one bottle every seven days?" Lei Laomeng stroked his chin and said, "Strictly speaking, it's not as good as it is."

"How come this is also Hou Zhongyu's version of the pill formula? How can our sect have such a good formula? All of them are terrible. Ah, if you think about it this way, I really envy these kids. Haha, we didn't have this opportunity back then!"

"Later, we met our lord in the martial arts world, and that's how we are today."

Ashina sighed and said, "However, with Brother Lei's skills, he is worthy of being called a great beastmaster. It is also a chance for the king to get you all."

Lei Laomeng smiled and said, "Really? According to what you said, Seventh Prince, I am a great beastmaster, but do you know how to gain the loyalty of this great beastmaster in this chaotic world?"

Ashina said, "I would like to hear the details."

Lei Laomeng took a sip of wine, smiled with a hint of nostalgia, and answered drunkenly:

"In the summer of the tenth year of the Apocalypse, in a small town near Zhenbei City, find three gangsters who were arrested for stealing and then release them and accept them into your team."

"Then, entrust the logistics of the team, or even the life of this wandering army, to him. Give him the utmost trust, and live and die with him, even if he is just a despicable gangster who attacked you before."

"We defeated General Yu Wenhua's army in Zhenbei City all the way, and then traveled thousands of miles amid the encirclement and suppression of the State of Chen."

"Give all your gold, silver, time and trust to that thirty-something vagrant who has accomplished nothing, let him dream those incredible, daydreamy dreams, let him waste and fail, and still don't blame him."

"Seven years later, then."

"That's it now."

He patted Ashina's shoulder, Lei Laomeng's eyes were bright, and he said softly:
"I can die for my lord, Seventh King. We can all die."

A scholar dies for a confidant.

This sentence is not that cheap.

Lei Laomeng reminded Ashina that since he had already come here, he could return home.

Ashina was silent for a long time, then sighed and said, "Really, it's really enviable."

But I don’t know which party I am envious of.

He could feel that, beneath the apparent peace of the entire Tian Ce Mansion, there was actually some tension secretly, as if something big was about to happen. Unfortunately, as a surrendered general, he had never truly entered the core of the Tian Ce Mansion and could not know the strategy of this level.

You can come here during the New Year, and after the New Year, Ashina will go to the Western Regions again.

His son seems to dislike the style of the Mohist master recently.

He chose to study under Qin King's trusted general Fan Qing.

Ashina didn't think this was a problem, he just felt relieved.

The hidden storm in Xiyi City became more and more turbulent. After gaining a part of the territory, the Turkic steppe immediately retreated and stabilized, unwilling to continue to participate in this huge vortex. Now the conflict here is between Chen and Ying.

Li Zhaowen of Xiyi City just watched from the sidelines.

Perfectly implemented Lu Youxian's strategy.

Build a city, stack armor, and pass.

The world is in turmoil and waves are rising. Something is about to happen.

But I don’t know what this thing is, and I don’t know when it will break out. It feels like there is a sword hanging over my head, pointing at my eyebrows. I know it will fall, but I don’t know when it will fall.

Ashina felt an indescribable pressure.

But living in this chaotic world, I have no choice.

You can only gallop between heaven and earth and fight on your own path.

It was spring, March, the best time of the year for scenery in the south of the Yangtze River.

King Qin Li Guanyi brought a pot of wine, a plate of osmanthus cake, and a plate of drunken spring crabs to visit General Yue Pengwu. The two men had a competition, and the roars of the Tiger Roaring Halberd and the Liquan Divine Spear shook the four directions. Finally, they drank to each other.

Yue Pengwu looked at the young man in front of him with admiration in his eyes and said:

"Your Majesty's martial arts are becoming more and more sophisticated. There are not many people in this world who can be your opponent."

"I first met the king in the tenth year of the Apocalypse."

"Yes, it was the tenth year of Tianqi. For Chen State, it was the thirteenth year of Taihe."

Li Guanyi smiled and said, "I was thirteen years old at that time, a very young Jinwu Guard."

Yue Pengwu said: "You are already 20 years old now, and I am already over 40 years old. Time flies and is always ruthless." He took a sip of wine and said: "However, Your Majesty, I have an idea for the strategy against the State of Chen in the future."

Li Guanyi said: "General Yue, please speak."

Yue Pengwu looked calm and said, "Can I also be a sharp blade?"

"As a man of honor, you must defeat the tyrant. How can you, with all your martial arts skills, just sit back and wait for the king to personally fight the enemy?!"

Li Guanyi said: "General Yue should stay in the rear to stabilize the situation. Besides, the feint attack responsibility also needs to be shouldered by General Yue and Wen Mian."

Yue Pengwu was speechless as he fought to conquer the world and pacify the war in all directions.

This time, the lord seemed to charge even harder and faster than himself.

What should I say about this?
Before Yue Pengwu could say something, the King of Qin urged him to drink and eat quickly.

My lord, as the king, how can you go there in person for this matter?
The King of Qin said, "Eat the food. This food is really good."

It is said that a man of high status cannot sit idle in the hall, so how can he get involved in the game?

The King of Qin scratched his head and laughed, saying that the wine today was really wine.

He interrupted them twelve times in a row, but refused to let Yue Pengwu say that he was the main force in the charge. Yue Pengwu was helpless. Finally, the two of them finished a pot of wine and said, "Your Majesty, are you going to Guanyi City?"

Most of the confidants who knew about this strategy did not quite understand why the King of Qin chose Guanyi City, the defense city of Jiangzhou, as the first target of attack. Yue Pengwu was one of the few people who could guess the reason.

Li Guanyi leaned against the pavilion, his ink-colored sleeves fluttering, and said, "Yes."

Yue Pengwu said: "Is it Miss Xue?"

Li Guanyi was silent for a long time, then said, "I owe her the most in my life."

"A man's words are as good as his words."

"But the promise made at the age of thirteen can't be fulfilled until the age of twenty."

"It is too late indeed. Time flies after entering the world. Seven years have passed. It is so fast, so fast, just like a fleeting moment."

Yue Pengwu looked at the young man and thought of the girl who had gone to the northern border several times. He finally sighed and gave up the fight. He said, "If that's the case, I really shouldn't be responsible for that trip. Then, I wish that Your Majesty can still get what he wants."

He raised his glass and said, "I made a promise at a young age and accomplished it at a young age. Even in the history books, it will be recorded in great detail, and people can still look back on it thousands of years later."

The King of Qin just smiled and nodded.

The wine cup was raised, the wind blew past, new flowers appeared on the trees, the flowers fell with the wind and landed in the wine cup, and so the cup was filled with the sharpness of swords and the bloody wars in the world outside the city of Xiyi in that chaotic world.

"When I was young, I once secretly skipped the study session with the young lady and other young ladies from aristocratic families. I was even more high-spirited then than I am now, and I dragged her around the city."

"We went to the local market, and it started to rain, so we took shelter in the teahouse."

"I remember playing the piano at that time, singing Raging Waves and Snow. I also remember the eldest daughter sliding down from the tree, and I carried her back on my back. The scenery of Nanchen is very beautiful, with ancient trees on both sides. When they bloom, the wind blowing on the sleeves of passers-by on the road is fragrant."

"I don't know if it's the fragrance of her sleeves or the fragrance of the flowers in Nanchen."

"Now that I think about it."

“It’s time of year.”

"On both sides of Nanchen Avenue, flowers have bloomed."

Li Guanyi drank the wine in the glass, stood up and discussed strategy with Yue Pengwu, said goodbye and left, his sleeves swept away calmly like flowing clouds. In the official history, every word is gem and concise, but this incident is still recorded.

It is said that flowers are blooming on the roadsides of Nanchen.

You should return slowly.

It is concise and to the point, just a casual sentence that seems ordinary.

But if combined with the chronological table that followed, we can see that the so-called slow return this year was like thousands of troops galloping slowly. The word "slow return" was the promise of youth, opening the curtain of the world.

Historians of later generations debated whether this move was made for the strategy of the world or for the promise made in youth, but after arguing over and over again, they could not reach a definite choice.

Just know, no matter what.

The king's spirit and the youth's ambition have come to an end.

All the celebrities who were mobilized were busy preparing for the King of Qin's coming-of-age ceremony. This place became different from Xiyi City, but it also attracted everyone's attention and became the center of this era.

However, it was here that everyone's attention was attracted.

This is the time when problems are least likely to occur.

No one noticed.

Qin Wang Li Guanyi disappeared from Jiangnan.

Enter the game personally.

Keep the appointment and fulfill the promise!
