Two and a half years later, the Jin Kingdom was in a serious economic crisis. The gold and silver in the national treasury had mysteriously disappeared. In reality, it had been secretly transported back to Li Yi by the Golden Edict Sect. Food production in various places had also been completely destroyed. It was likely that there would be no harvest this year. Without money and food, how could they fight? However, if they didn't fight, they would be wiped out by the Mongol army. As a last resort, the Jin Kingdom nobles had to tighten their clothes and go on a diet under the orders of Emperor Xuanzong of the Jin Dynasty. They had to contribute all their gold, silver, and food.
But if you had money but no place to buy food, the Great Song would not sell food to them. It was useless to threaten Song Ningzong. After all, those people had already been replaced. How could they still be threatened? The Jin Kingdom did not dare to fight against the Great Song and Mongolia at the same time, so they could only make a move that angered the heavens and the people. That was, the people who died on the battlefield or the women who occupied the land were like sheep on both feet. They were all pulled back and eaten, or they were killed by horses.
P.S. During the period of the Five Barbarians, the Hu people hunted Han people everywhere, killing all the men. The women were played with by the Hu soldiers at night, and killed and cooked during the day. They called Han women two-legged sheep. During that period, the Han people were quite miserable. After the Five Revolutions, the Han population was reduced to less than one in ten.
Mongolia was also very pitiful. Mongolia mainly relied on animal husbandry for a living.‘Ogetai and Chagatai, the two princes who stayed behind, worked together and poisoned all the drinking areas. Soon, all the cattle, horses, sheep, women, children, and old people in the rear were poisoned to death because they drank the poisoned water. When Tiemuzhen heard that there was a big problem in the rear, he was afraid of a mutiny. He had no choice but to stop attacking and rush back. Thinking about it, it made sense. His soldiers and his family were all there!
When Tiemuzhen returned to the grassland, he only saw countless corpses. There were old people, children, women, cows, sheep, and horses. It was desolate and deathly silent. There was not a single survivor. That desolate scene simply made him and all the soldiers wish they were dead. If Mongolia had no women, there would be no next generation. Without children, there would be no source of soldiers. Without the elderly, there would be no one to educate the next generation.
If Tiemuzhen continued to attack everywhere, his soldiers would only decrease. In the end, he might become a commander without any soldiers. But if they didn't continue to attack, the Mongol race would also be wiped out because they didn't have any women. Under such circumstances, it was better to take a gamble.
Thus, Tiemuzhen launched his final attack on the Jin Kingdom. It wasn't that he didn't want to attack the Great Song's entrance, which he thought was relatively weak, but it was mainly because there were millions of Song soldiers gathered there. Although they were not as good at fighting as their side, they had too many people. How could ten people not be able to defeat one of them? Moreover, there was no food on their side. In the end, they had no choice but to kill horses to survive. There were not many horses left now. The Mongolians who had lost their fast mobility were no longer able to gallop around the world.
He could only choose to attack the Jin Kingdom, which was in a similar situation as Mongolia. But in the end, it was also because of his decision that the Jin Kingdom and Mongolia were destroyed at the same time. Half a year later, the war between the Jin Kingdom and the Mongol Empire had reached its final stage. Each of them had less than 100,000 soldiers left. Both sides were already red in the eyes from killing and hunger. Li Yi's army had been hiding a hundred miles away from the battlefield between the Gold and Meng armies. He was waiting for the final outcome. Of course, when the results came out, it was also the time for him to send troops to destroy both sides.
The outcome was self-evident. When the Mongolians were about to achieve the final victory, Tiemu Zhen was excitedly preparing to lead his remaining 70,000 troops to attack the Jin Kingdom, which had no soldiers to defend them. Li Yi's army suddenly charged out from the side. Hundreds of thousands of troops rushed towards Tiemu Zhen's tens of thousands of soldiers. Tiemu Zhen was in despair. He saw his exhausted soldiers lying on the ground one by one. He decisively pulled out his golden scimitar and slit his own throat.
Not to mention the Jin Kingdom. The soldiers at the front had been exhausted, and the country was in a bleak state. It was a completely empty scene. The Song people in the territories occupied by the Jin Kingdom were either bandits or forced into the army and sent to the battlefield. Only some women were left behind, and these women were regarded as 'two-legged sheep' by the Jin Kingdom people. They could be played with or eaten. In order to survive, the Han people had to flee to the Southern Song Dynasty with their families. The Jin Kingdom no longer had the power to stop their people from fleeing.
Under such circumstances, how could they stop Li Yi's army? They charged at full speed all the way to Shangjing, the capital of the Jin Kingdom. He killed all the golden men along the way, including the Song people who had chosen to be bandits. Three months later, the Jin Kingdom was declared completely destroyed.
What happened next was much simpler. Ning Zong Zhao Kuo announced his abdication, allowing Li Yi to ascend the throne. Xixia had also merged with Li Yi's newly established Tang Kingdom. With that, Li Yi's steps to unify the entire country came to an end. The current situation was mainly to recuperate. After all, almost all the people in the land occupied by the Jin Kingdom had been wiped out. Therefore, they were busy relocating and buying land.
Six years later, the country was once again prosperous. The fertility of humans was very terrifying. Moreover, there was no family planning in ancient times. In addition, because of the war, a large number of people died. They had no choice but to work hard to give birth. From the initial population of 37 million to the current population of 63 million, one could imagine how big the change was. Li Yi felt that he could wipe out a few more small countries to increase his point income. For example, the Tibetans, or the arrogant island nation overseas. Although these small countries were powerful, they could not withstand the assault of millions of Power Soldiers from the Military Department that Li Yi had modified. They fell one after another. Li Yi had once again earned 500,000 points.
Another year had passed, and Li Yi felt that it was about time. Hence, he left behind a spy to impersonate him and continue to be the emperor. He took his woman and sneaked out of the palace. They toured the mountains and rivers to the peak of Mount Hua to participate in the sword tournament.
On this day, it was snowing heavily. Li Yi brought the girls along, stopping and walking. Arriving at the foot of Mount Hua, he saw many people of the martial world with weapons on their bodies treading on the snow. Looking at the situation, they should all be here to witness the showdown between the experts in the Sword Seminars on Mount Hua, or perhaps they thought that their strength was strong enough to challenge one of the experts so that they could become famous in one battle.
Li Yi pursed his lips in disdain. It made sense, many people here were just there to make up the numbers. The only truly famous people in Jianghu were people like Eastern Heretic and Western Venom. It was unknown what these people were here for. Some of them had even started fighting at the foot of the mountain. They even said that they were fighting for the right to go up the mountain. Do you still need authority to go up the mountain? It really made people speechless.
Mochou had grown up now. She was in her twenties and was in the prime of her youth. As she had been with Li Yi and Feng Heng for a long time, she had become a little eccentric. From time to time, she would play some pranks to tease people. When she saw those people with low status fighting there, she rolled her eyes and giggled.
Li Yi rolled his eyes and said," You little girl, what are you thinking of harming people again?”It had become a habit for him. Every time he heard her laugh like this, someone would definitely be in trouble.
Mochou grabbed his hand and shook it a few times. She said coquettishly,"Husband, I don't have it." They only saw those people. They clearly didn't have any ability, but they were still clamoring. It was really funny.”
Her voice was very loud, and she even used her internal strength to spread it far. Immediately, those people stopped and glared at her. However, when he saw that she was actually a beautiful girl, and that she had two other beauties who were similar to her, his heart immediately burned with anger, and his eyes shot out a greedy gaze. However, they realized that there was another man with a black knife standing beside them. This made them very unhappy. You said that you, a brat, actually dominated three peerless beauties by yourself. Are you still human?
Now, someone was looking for trouble. One of them, a brawny man with a large saber on his shoulder, walked forward and shouted at Li Yi," Hey, kid, don't think you can act like a hero just because you have a sword on your back. If you know what's good for you, leave this place quickly. Do you think you can have these women?" Hmm?" As he spoke, he waved the large saber in his hand. The dozens of people beside him also started to cheer and shout.
Li Yi rolled his eyes and looked at Mochou, who was still smirking." Look at you. You're uncomfortable every day you don't tease me, right?”
Mochou covered her mouth and laughed." Husband, I'm just playing. Hehe!”Then she pretended to be sad and covered her face." Husband, don't you like me anymore? Wuuu…"
Li Yi pursed his lips and said," Keep pretending. Let's see what you can do."”
A 13 or 14-year-old girl who was exceptionally beautiful and had an excellent temperament giggled and said," Senior Sister, you've used this trick countless times. Husband won't fall for it again." Giggle!" The voice was crisp and pleasant to the ears.
Mochou pursed his lips and said," Long 'er, just help him. Hmph, don't ask me to save you the next time he eats you alive."”
It turned out that the little beauty was the legendary Xiao Longnu. Xiao Longnu's face turned red and she pouted." I don't want you to save me. You always say that you'll save me, but in the end, you'll hurt me…" Humph! Senior Sister, you're the worst."
Long 'er got angry just thinking about it. When she was only a few years old, Mochou had lied to her that the place where her handsome grandmaster ate was very delicious, so she had been fooled and eaten. He lied to her again about how it was more fun and comfortable to be with Master Shuai Shuai. Once again, he fell for it. No wonder Long Er was angry. Come to think of it, you've been deceived since you were five or six years old. How can you not be angry?
Mochou chuckled and said," Hehe, who asked you to be so silly? You've been deceived by me since you were young, but you still don't remember. Besides, don't you like it yourself? Giggle!" Long Er blushed and rolled her eyes at her. Her peerlessly beautiful face and coquettish expression made the eyes of the men around her almost pop out of their sockets.
Li Yi laughed as well. He was very fond of these two girls. Especially that Xiao Longnu who had been muddle-headed since she was young.
The burly man saw them talking and laughing there, not taking him seriously at all. He couldn't find trouble with beautiful women. He had to leave a good impression on them. However, he could find trouble with Li Yi, right? Therefore, he shouted," Brat, how dare you look down on me. Hmph, I'm going to teach you a lesson."”As he spoke, he brandished the broadsword in his hand and pounced at Li Yi as if he was playing a trick.
Li Yi pursed his lips and said," How boring." Burg, finish him off."
Burg bowed." Yes, Master!" In an instant, he appeared in front of him. With a light push of his palm, the burly man immediately screamed and flew at least 20 meters away. After landing, he no longer made a sound. Immediately, the surrounding lackeys were scared and fled.
Li Yi shook his head and said to the girls," Let's go. Let's not waste any more time. It's almost time to start at the top of the mountain."”
Mochou and Long Er nodded. Mochou said," Burg, follow!”
It turned out that the person standing behind them was Sun Bu 'er. The current Sun Bu 'er was no longer as vicious and dishonest as before. She was very obedient now. If she was told to go east, she would definitely not go west. She was very obedient. Moreover, Sun Bu 'er, who should have been in his forties, looked like he was still in his twenties. In reality, it was Li Yi who had helped her inject vitality into her, allowing her to regain her youth and make her more loyal.
Sun Bu 'er bowed and said," Yes, Master, Mistress."”After saying that, the four of them used the Carefree Footwork and flew up into the sky, quickly floating towards the top of the mountain. Instantly, the few people around who were still scheming wilted.
There were actually quite a number of people at the peak of Mount Hua. Looking over, there were people standing, sitting on rocks, and some gathered in a circle to watch the battle on the flat ground in the middle.
The arrival of Li Yi and the three girls did not attract much attention. After all, there were too many people from the martial world here today. Li Yi suddenly heard a few air-piercing sounds and immediately felt that an expert was approaching. She turned around and smiled. He shouted,"Seventh Duke, Father-in-law, you're here too?”
It turned out to be Apothecary Huang and Hong Qigong. When they saw Li Yi, they immediately welcomed him with a hearty laugh.
"Xiaoyao, why are you here?" Medicine Master Huang asked. Shouldn't you be in the palace? Right, where are Ah Heng and Rong 'er? Why didn't they come with you?" Beside him, Hong Qigong also looked at him curiously.
Li Yi laughed." They're still in the palace. I snuck out." Sigh, you guys don't know. There are so many national affairs. It's really a headache. Wasn't this just the right time for a sword duel on Mount Hua? I just came over to join in the fun and relax. As for state affairs, the Seventh Duke should know about it, right? Haha!"
When Huang Yaoshi heard that Feng Heng didn't come, he nodded in disappointment and said," Oh, I see."”
Hong Qigong thought for a moment, and his eyes lit up. Could it be those spies?"
Li Yi smiled and nodded." That's right. I'm really annoyed. It just so happens that those spies are omnipotent. They're the best at handling these things."”
Hong Qigong didn't care about the state affairs. He pursed his lips and said," Sigh, Rong 'er isn't here, so I didn't eat this old beggar."”
Li Yi and Apothecary Huang rolled their eyes at the same time. Apothecary Huang glared at him and said," You old thing, do you still want the Empress to cook for you?" You're dreaming."
Hong Qigong cackled,"So what if it's the Empress?" Even the Empress has to respectfully call me Master when she sees me, an old beggar. Haha! Old beggar, the best thing I've done in my life is to take Rong 'er as my disciple, haha!”
Apothecary Huang curled his lips and said,"Old and restless…"”
Li Yi smiled and said," Father-in-law, Duke Qi, who are these?”
Medicine Master Huang said," Oh, he's Ouyang Feng from the Western Poison. The other is South Deity Yideng. This is a senior in the martial arts world. You have to treat him with the same respect as you treat me, understand?”
Li Yi first bowed to Master One Dun and said," Greetings, Master One Dun!”Then, he glanced at Ouyang Feng, who was waiting for him to bow arrogantly. He curled his lips in disdain and said," I don't care if someone is a martial arts senior or not. If you want me to respect them, you have to at least see if they are qualified." Humph!"
With a smile in his eyes, Apothecary Huang stroked his beard. He was very satisfied with this aspect of Li Yi. Just like him, he would befriend those who were worth befriending. As for those who were not worth befriending, they would not even spare him a glance, no matter who they were.
Hong Qigong, who was standing at the side, also laughed out loud. Wizard Yi Deng also bowed and returned the greeting with a smile.
Ouyang Feng was enraged when he saw that he had been ridiculed by a young man and even mocked by a few people of his generation. His eyes immediately turned cold as he gritted his teeth and said angrily," Very good. I'll let you see if I'm qualified."”
He leaped backward and laid on the ground, making a 'coo' sound as he used his ultimate technique, the 'Toad Technique'. The reason why he used his ultimate move, the Toad Technique, was mainly because he could tell that Li Yi was the same as him. He was at the peak of the Innate Realm, and he was being mocked by Li Yi. Hence, he used his strongest move. He wanted to kill him in one go.
The arena was instantly emptied. Li Yi walked to the opposite side of him in disdain, pulled out the Mysterious-Iron Saber on his back, and swung it casually. He hooked his finger at Ouyang Feng and said," Come on, let me see how powerful your Toad Technique is."”
Apothecary Huang and Hong Qigong frowned when they saw him underestimating the enemy." Carefree, don't underestimate the enemy. The old poisonous creature's toad technique is superb. Be careful."”
Li Yi smiled and said," No matter how powerful a move is, if it can't hit the opponent, it's still trash. Father-in-law, Duke Qi, don't worry. I know what to do.”
Seeing that he was full of confidence, the two of them stopped talking and stood to the side to watch carefully.
Ouyang Feng had dominated the world his entire life, and he had never heard someone look down on him like this. He was instantly irritated, and before his aura could accumulate to its peak, he leaped over and pushed his palms forward, attacking Li Yi with a mighty momentum.
Li Yi did not fight him head-on. Just as he said, he used Carefree Footwork and dodged his attack. He swung his sword and slashed. Saber Qi shot out from the Black Iron Saber and hit Ouyang Feng in an instant.
