In the Snow: The Prince of Beiliang Rebelled at the Beginning

Jiang Ni came straight to the Big Lotus Peak, and went to Xu Zhihu's side, smiling and said, "Greetings to the great princess."

Xu Zhihu stood up and pulled Jiang Ni, touching her tender hands, and sneered, "Even after practicing swordplay, you are still so white and tender. - Hey! When you were working in Fengnian Wutong Garden, you were the most courageous, so I admired you the most."

Jiang Ni has never been afraid of Xu Fengnian since she was a child. Xu Zhihu likes her very much. Except for Xu Weixiong from the Beiliang Palace, she is not afraid of anyone, and she is not afraid of anyone now.

It would be the same even if Xu Weixiong came in person.

Jiang Ni laughed and said, "I'm lazy. I don't like to suffer. Besides, when I practice swordplay, I don't need to train my body like an ordinary warrior or swordsman. I can practice swordplay just by watching it once."

Xu Zhihu smiled widely, stretched out his hand to pinch Jiang Ni's face, and praised: "Only a woman like this is worthy of my Fengnian."

Jiang Ni's face suddenly turned red, and he stammered, "It's not like that."

Seeing this, Xu Zhihu hugged Jiang Ni in his arms and said with a smile: "Girl, if you like someone, you should say it out loud. Don't keep it in your heart. Otherwise, you will suffer for the rest of your life."

Jiang Ni nodded.

…………

Northern Wilderness.

In the palace, in the main hall.

In the void mirror, Xu Fengnian remained motionless at this time, as if waiting for something.

Li Mibi frowned slightly and thought to himself, "What's going on?"

The Queen of Northern Mang also looked at the crowd and saw that none of them spoke. She looked puzzled and asked, "My Lords, what's going on?"

Dong Zhuo was just a layman in front of these people.

Yuan Qingshan and Tuoba Bodhisattva looked at each other, as if they were waiting for the other to speak, but neither of them opened their mouths.

Li Mibi saw this and said with a smile: "Both of you are silent, it seems that you have already made up your mind."

Yuan Qingshan bowed to the Queen of Northern Mang and said, "I think that this boy can break the giant sword in mid-air. Ding Rang has the means."

"——But! I can't see how Xu Fengnian will cross the Rainbow Bridge and break the giant sword. Then, how will he deal with the attacks from the immortals in the upper realm?"

"This is a risky move. If we can win, Xu Feng will naturally get a big advantage. If we can't win, there will also be infinite benefits."

Upon hearing this, the Queen of Northern Mang frowned and sneered, "Is this Xu Ping'an's plan?"

"——Haha! Playing chess with the immortals in the sky is a great pleasure in the world. I underestimated Xu Ping'an before."

"But after all, we have to face an immortal. Isn't he afraid of Xu Ping'an?"

Hear the words.

Yuan Qingshan said calmly: "I think this might be what Xu Ping'an wants to see. If Xu Fengnian is defeated, Bai Yujing will definitely take action."

"With Xu Ping'an's strength, plus the fact that he killed the old man from Nanjiang not long ago, I think he may have obtained the immortal corpse puppet."

"In addition to the strong men under his command, they are all capable of killing immortals. I am afraid that this battle is a contest between the immortals in the human world and the upper world."

"..."

Upon hearing this, Tuoba Bodhisattva stared at Yuan Qingshan and sneered, "As the saying goes: 'Boosting others' ambitions will destroy your own prestige'. As the leader of the number one sect in Beimang, how can you belittle yourself like this? Is there no one left in Beimang?"

Yuan Qingshan ignored Tuoba Bodhisattva.

Tuoba Bodhisattva continued: "Xu Fengnian wants to take this opportunity to break through in one fell swoop, but are all the immortals in the upper realm vegetarians?"

Yuan Qingshan still has the attitude of a dead pig that is not afraid of boiling water.

Tuoba Bodhisattva bowed to the Queen of Beimang and said, "I think we can take advantage of this confrontation between Wudang and the Celestial Immortals to march south and test their military strength."

The words fell.

The Queen of Northern Mang glanced at Dong Zhuo, who, upon seeing her gaze, also lowered his back and bowed, saying, "I think that is not possible."

The Northern Mang Queen frowned and asked, "Why?"

Dong Zhuo said in a deep voice: "Here on Mount Wudang, fighting with immortals, Xu Ping'an's strategy is far-reaching, it is impossible that he has no defense against our Beimang army. Three days ago, I received a military report that Bai Qi's army has moved northward in the direction of Liuzhou City. There are also several military towns in the direction of Beiliang. It seems peaceful, but I am sure that there must be arrangements. Maybe they have already made a move to attack our Beimang."

Upon hearing this, the Queen of Northern Mang stared at Tuoba Bodhisattva, who hesitated for a moment and then said in detail, "Xiang Yu has also made some moves in the Liang Liao region. It seems that they want to launch a three-pronged attack."

The Queen of Beimang was shocked.

Dong Zhuo bowed and said, "I think the first task is to find out how many troops Xu Ping'an has. We can just wait and see about the fight in the air above Wudang Mountain. We cannot march southwards, as we may be attacked unexpectedly. Your Majesty, please make the decision. Do not underestimate Xu Ping'an's deployment."

"I have dealt with this man many times. The generals under his command are all strong men. Among the military leaders, Bai Qi is the strongest. He commands the three armies."

"We have to be careful."

Upon hearing this, Tuoba Bodhisattva sneered and said, "The King of the Southern Courtyard doesn't dare to confront Xu Ping'an? Or does he think that he is no match for Xu Ping'an and is preparing to make a move?"

Dong Zhuo chuckled when he heard this and said, "Although I am from the Southern Dynasty, I always do things in an upright manner."

"I have followed your majesty for many years and have been favored by your majesty. I have come to this point today. You say that I, Dong Zhuo, have secretly cast a pearl. Haha, Tuoba Bodhisattva, you are really a reckless man."

"I would like to know what you mean by this?"

When Tuoba Bodhisattva heard Dong Zhuo was so anxious, he grinned and asked, "Are you anxious?"

Dong Zhuo calmed down, stared at Tuoba Bodhisattva, waved his hand and said, "I'm a little anxious."

Tuoba Bodhisattva smiled but said nothing.

The Queen of Beimang looked at Li Mibi and asked, "Lord Li, what do you think?"

Li Mi Bi controls the Beimang Spider Web, which is a spy agency second only to Fushuifang and Zhao Gou. It includes intelligence personnel and killers.

Moreover, they have been infiltrating over the years, and their spider web personnel can be seen all over the world.

Li Mibi leaned against the Queen of Beimang and bowed: "I think this matter is a little different. My spider web has been attacked continuously. This organization is called 'Jinyiwei'. It is the intelligence agency under Xu Ping'an. Moreover, I have been cleaning up the 'Jinyiwei' in Beimang recently."

Upon hearing this, the Queen of Beimang frowned, stared at Li Mibi, and asked calmly, "Jinyiwei? Li Aiqing has already reported to me. Why haven't they been cleared out yet?"

Li Mibi clasped his hands and said, "The territory of Beimang has been cleaned up. As the saying goes, 'A centipede dies but remains intact.' In the past year, the Jinyiwei has set up bases in various places in Beimang and has a good understanding of our Beimang's terrain, military deployment, people's lives, and noble habits."

"I'm afraid that this time the troops are dispatched, which is exactly what Xu Ping'an wants to see. Together with the immortals from the upper realm, we can solve the problem in one fell swoop."

"If this is true, our Northern Mang will be in a passive situation. I hope Your Majesty will think twice before acting."

The Queen of Beimang did not draw any conclusions, but looked at Yuan Qingshan, "National Master, what do you think?"

Yuan Qingshan clasped his hands and said, "I think we should wait for Wu Dang to handle the matter first."

The Queen of Beimang looked at Tuoba Bodhisattva again, "What does the King of Beiyuan think?"

Upon hearing this, Tuoba Bodhisattva bowed to the Queen of Beimang and said, "Your Majesty, I think we can launch a small battle as a test, and also clean up the spies who have infiltrated Beimang."

"Let's also see if we in Beimang are ready to go to war with Xu Ping'an."

"If there is no test, how can we know what Xu Ping'an is thinking?"

At this moment, Tuoba Bodhisattva felt helpless and even a little angry.

These guys are undoubtedly scared and now they dare not show up.

This made Tuoba Bodhisattva very angry, but everyone here was a high-ranking official of Beimang. Even Dong Zhuo was a guest of honor of the Queen of Beimang.

This person is the King of the Southern Court of the Southern Dynasty, and he has his own path to follow.

Moreover, his reputation in the Southern Dynasty was very high.

If he offended this person, then even Tuoba Bodhisattva might not be able to command the army of the Southern Dynasty.

That's why.

Tuoba Bodhisattva did not explode, but waited for the situation to change.

See it.

Tuoba Bodhisattva chuckled and said coldly: "Your Majesty, I think we must attack."

"If others are unwilling to attack, I, Tuoba Bodhisattva, am willing to be the first to attack. I hope Your Majesty will agree. I will definitely not let Your Majesty down."

"Moreover, the location we choose to attack this time is in the Liang Liao area. We will definitely be able to succeed immediately and successfully delay the Liang Liao. Then, we can find a breakthrough in Beiliang or Liuzhou. In this way, we can capture the south in one fell swoop."

"Your Majesty will also be able to achieve the great cause of unifying the world as soon as possible."

Upon hearing this, the Queen of Beimang nodded and said, "General Tuoba, since you want to attack, I will allow you to go."

"You go ahead."

"I will send someone to provide you with logistics support."

After hearing this, Tuoba Bodhisattva bowed to the Queen of Northern Mang and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty. I will not fail in my mission. I will definitely bring back good news."

"Conquering the two Liao states is my sincere wish and will be a major breakthrough."

"My minister retire."

The words fell.

Tuoba Bodhisattva bowed to the Queen of Beimang and hurriedly left.

"My dear friends, what do you think?"

Watching the disappearance of Tuoba Bodhisattva, the Queen of Beimang looked at the other three people, frowned and asked: "Will General Tuoba be victorious in this trip?"

The three of them looked at each other, seemingly not knowing what to say.

Yuan Qingshan spoke first, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, I think that General Tuoba has his own plans. Or some plans. Or some war opportunities. After all, he is the military god of our Beimang. He must think twice before looking at problems and doing things. I have nothing to say."

Upon hearing this, the Queen of Northern Mang looked at Yuan Qingshan with satisfaction and said with a smile, "I am comforted that the Imperial Master can say this."

Yuan Qingshan bowed and said, "I am only here for the sake of Northern Mang. I agree with everything that is beneficial to Northern Mang."

"If it is not beneficial to Beimang, I will oppose it to the end."

The Queen of Northern Mang smiled and said, "With loyal ministers like you, I am able to sit in this position and realize my ambitions. Now we have come to a fork in the road again, but I am very pleased that everyone is working together for the great cause of Northern Mang."

"King of the Southern Court, Li Mibi, what do you think?"

Dong Zhuo bowed towards Li Mibi and motioned him to speak first.

Li Mibi did not hesitate, but spoke first, bowing to the Queen of Beimang: "I think a small-scale attack is okay."

The Queen of Northern Mang's eyes lit up, and she continued to ask, "Why can't we launch a large-scale attack?"

Li Mibi seemed to have thought of something and looked at Yuan Qingshan again. Yuan Qingshan saw Li Mibi looking at him and smiled and said, "Why are you looking at me?"

Li Mibi bowed to the Queen of Beimang and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me."

The Queen of Beimang was stunned and asked, "Why do you say that?"

Li Mibi pleaded again: "Your Majesty, please forgive me first before I dare to speak."

The Queen of Beimang nodded and said, "Just tell me, I won't punish you."

After Li Mibi received the response from the Queen of Beimang, he immediately said, "I think that the dispute between Wudang and the immortals in heaven is a dispute of destiny. If Xu Fengnian wins, then Wudang's destiny will be implicated with Xu Fengnian, and even affect Beimang. After all, Wudang is one of the ancestral temples of Taoism."

"The King of the Southern Court is unwilling to send out troops at this time, probably because he is considering the fate of the country and the destiny. After all, there are still many martial artists in this battle. If Wudang Mountain does this, there will definitely be many problems and the destiny will be reversed."

"If we send out troops rashly, I'm afraid the immortals in the upper realm won't be able to take care of us."

The Queen of Beimang stared at Yuan Qingshan and asked, "Master, is he serious about what he said?"

Upon hearing this, Yuan Qingshan did not hide anything but nodded: "He is right."

The Queen of Beimang frowned and asked, "How to crack it?"

Yuan Qingshan said in a deep voice: "Just stand by and watch."

The Queen of Northern Mang seemed to have thought of something and continued, "What if Xu Fengnian wins?"

Yuan Qingshan continued, "It is not a coincidence that the Northern Mang will send troops south. They must move south quickly because, at that time, the immortals in the upper realm will be free, and countless fortunes will fall on the human world."

"When the time comes, it will be a war between two countries."

"And it's a fight between two superpowers."

The Northern Mang Queen sneered and said, "Why do you say there are two powerful countries? There is no country in the south now. It is just under the control of Xu Ping'an."

"We can capture any place with justification."

Yuan Qingshan shook his head and said, "I think your majesty thinks too simply."

"This Wudang attack is Xu Ping'an's plan. When this matter is over, Xu Ping'an will definitely ascend the throne and become emperor, or even establish a new dynasty."

“It’s only a matter of time.”

The Queen of Northern Mang looked unhappy and chuckled, "So, Xu Ping'an, you have already planned it?"

After saying this, she looked at Li Mibi who was standing on the side.

The latter saw this and also bowed and said: "According to the intelligence, Xu Ping'an does have the intention to become emperor and establish a new dynasty."

"And he has ordered Zhang Liang to organize and even make administrative distinctions for the new dynasty."

"We are just waiting for this trip to Wudang Mountain. If it is a great success, then the new dynasty may be established before the end of the year. If it fails, the dynasty will end after the end of the year."

The Queen of Northern Mang seemed a little confused and chuckled, "Is there any difference between them?"
