Imperial henchmen? Never been struck by the sword of the Six Doors (a secret police agency).

Li Zhengdian

Si Zi slapped away the emperor's outstretched fingers with one hand, while holding onto Li Junsu's fingers tightly with the other.

"Immortal Master, what's going on?" The emperor, clearly having also noticed that his beloved daughter was leaking air, asked in surprise.

"I am your father, the Emperor." The Emperor poked the prince's cheek with his finger, speaking in a teasing tone.

Then, the pain came.

"Ouch! Let go!" the emperor shouted immediately.

The emperor wasn't teasing the little ox; he was genuinely in pain. The little guy was a bit too healthy.

Although Si Zi has no teeth, she is born with a martial physique, and with Yun Wujing's conditioning of her body, her physical fitness is off the charts.

"Let go quickly," Li Junsu said softly.

Sizi then relented, turned her head towards Li Junsu, grabbed Li Junsu's hand, and hid herself.

"Ouch~ You little ingrate, you almost bit off my finger." The emperor shook his hand and laughed in anger.

"Ahem... The princess was already in great pain due to being surrounded by death energy. After coming into contact with Marquis Wu'an, the death energy was absorbed. The princess knows who helped her, so naturally she will be closer to Marquis Wu'an." Yun Wujing coughed lightly and stepped forward to explain, watching the little farce unfold before her.

Li Junsu was not surprised that Si Zi was so clever. Si Zi was not even twelve years old yet, but he could imitate the emperor's handwriting to the point of being indistinguishable from the real thing, which was enough to show just how clever Si Zi was.

Sizi groaned twice. The pharmacist was right. She had felt pain all over her body just now, but the pain stopped after her older brother came.

The emperor even laughed at me; I hate the emperor.

Li Junsu looked at the little dumpling in front of him, patted Sizi's back, and Sizi was satisfied and was about to fall asleep.

“Your Majesty, if there is nothing else important, I shall take my leave,” Li Junsu said.

There are still matters to attend to with the Imperial Guard.

"Alright, you can get back to work now." The emperor nodded immediately upon hearing this.

"Let those outside disperse as well, and let them all get back to their work," the emperor said.

Li Junsu nodded and was about to leave when Sizi became dissatisfied and grabbed his hand, refusing to let him go.

The ox's mouth twitched, as if it was about to burst into tears.

Just as Yun Wujing was about to put Sizi to sleep, she saw Li Junsu patting Sizi's back, and then Sizi gradually calmed down.

Li Junsu patted the little guy's back while transmitting his internal energy.

Sizi felt warm all over and fell asleep as soon as she closed her eyes.

"Your subject takes his leave." Li Junsu bowed and departed.

"Look how badly these people in the martial arts world are slandering our capable ministers of the Great Qian Dynasty," the emperor said, shaking his head as he held the sleeping Sizi in his arms.

Li Junsu is so gentle. People outside say he's always fighting and killing, but that's just blatant fabrication, baseless accusation, and a complete distortion of the truth.

“I think so too.” Yun Wujing did not refute, but nodded in agreement.

Li Junsu's mind has always been calm and peaceful, without any inner demons or evil thoughts; he is a natural-born talent for cultivating Taoism.

"Alright, little one, it's time for you to go to sleep with your mother." The emperor pinched Sizi's nose and said with a smile.

"Perfect timing. I'll investigate which generation of the Li family in Qingfeng City branched off from ours," the emperor muttered to himself.

Yun Wujing knew what the emperor wanted to do and was somewhat surprised.

"Does Your Majesty have other ideas?" Yun Wujing asked.

The emperor's initial idea was to wait until Li Junsu became a martial emperor before changing the title of Marquis of Wu'an to King of Wu'an.

Then, to avoid mentioning the existence of King Wu in the Great Qian Dynasty, the title of King An was left, making Li Junsu the de facto one-character king.

This was something the Emperor and Yun Wujing had discussed long ago, but now it seems the Emperor has changed his mind?

"Yes, there's no point in hiding it. This kid needs to leave the imperial clan and become a true prince of the Great Qian Dynasty."

"King Wu, Li Su."

"Prince An, Li Junsu."

"One martial, one peaceful."

Although the emperor was still holding the child, his words were very grand and imposing.

Even if the Li family of Qingfeng City has no connection with the Great Qian royal family, if the emperor says they do, then they do.

"It's good that Your Majesty has your own ideas, but I still have to remind you that Marquis Wu'an rose to power through bloodshed," Yun Wujing reminded him.

"All those restless creatures outside are nourishment for my beloved minister," the emperor said, narrowing his eyes and speaking in a profound tone.

From the incident of receiving the Silla delegation, Li Junsu realized that the emperor was different from the one in his world.

But what Li Junsu didn't expect was that the emperor was so radical. Historically, it wasn't small countries that provoked him; emperors in his world rarely resorted to force.

But things are different here; the emperor never intended to keep the surrounding foreign tribes around him.

To civilize barbarians, one must do what Li Jing did: destroy the Eastern Khanate and then absorb the rest.

In the emperor's eyes, the surrounding foreign states were nothing more than larger sects; the martial arts world was now so peaceful.

The fate of those from the martial world is the same as the fate of these foreign lands.

From the very beginning, the general trend followed the emperor's lead, conserving strength and preparing for a fatal blow once an opportunity was seized.

"Send Jun Su over there when the time comes, and we won't even need to bother with his education," the emperor chuckled.

Yun Wujing nodded in approval.

......

When Li Junsu walked out of the main hall, only Bai Xingling remained standing there.

"I'm back." Bai Xingling stretched and yawned as she spoke.

"Where are the others?" Li Junsu nodded, then asked.

"After the princess's laughter was heard, King Wu and Uncle Beimen left, and the court officials also departed," Bai Xingling said, following Li Junsu's footsteps.

"Do you know what Fang Xuanlin said?" Bai Xingling then asked with a hint of schadenfreude.

"..." Li Junsu did not reply.

"He said to hurry back, otherwise he'd have to work overtime again tonight," Bai Xingling said to herself when she saw that Li Junsu wasn't taking the bait.

"What's next?" Bai Xingling asked, somewhat bored, as Li Junsu remained expressionless.

"The six gates and the earth-based weapons are all ready," Li Junsu said.

The earth soldiers promised to Zhen Min at the beginning of the year were only completed by the end of the year.

If they used magical materials, the Six Doors could have finished it in three months, but the problem is they can't.

So the Six Doors went to great lengths to find some normal materials before they could start the furnace.

This posed another challenge for the spirit of the Six Doors. She had experience in forging demonic weapons, but the forging techniques for demonic weapons were completely different from those for righteous weapons.

All you need to do is add whatever force you have, and the chief constable of the Six Doors can keep them in check.

Righteous weapons emphasize balance and harmony, with each containing elements of the other.

Why can you dominate the battlefield as soon as you get the demon weapon?

Either you control the demon soldiers, or the demon soldiers control you.

Orthodox weapons are different; they need to be refined into one's own natal spiritual weapon, progressing alongside oneself, maintaining balance and harmony.

If the artistic conception doesn't match, or even conflicts with it, it will only lead to a decrease in combat power.

This is a limitation, but once the refinement is successful and the master is perfectly compatible and in sync, the righteous heavenly soldiers can overpower the demonic heavenly soldiers.

The Panlong Spear in Li Su's hand is a typical orthodox earth weapon, which requires him to refine its spirit.

If successful, the soldiers and men will be of one mind and their fighting strength will increase dramatically.
