Li Shi Min knocked on the door for a while, but he didn't get any response. He knew that Ji Xiao wasn't there.
He looked anxious and pushed open the door. The small kitchen was indeed empty.
Li Shiming sighed and shook his head, but he still let Li Lizhi in.
Seeing this, Li Lizhi felt even more puzzled. She tilted her head, pouted, and frowned. She looked very cute.
"Lizhi, listen up. If you see a royal chef named Ji Xiao, tell him that you are Old Li's distant relative.
Old Li heard that you wanted to learn cooking, so he sent you here as an apprentice.
I want Ji Xiao to teach you a thing or two as a friend.”
"Eh?" Li Lizhi asked. Why?"
"Sigh…something happened in the palace. It's going to be very dangerous. It's safest for you to stay here."”
Ever since that mysterious expert made a move in Tianyuan City, the Great Zhou Imperial Palace had become the safest place in the world.
This was because this mysterious expert had killed three Supreme Saints who had come to assassinate the empress in the palace.
No matter if it was the experts of the sects of the six empires or the experts of the various Dynasties, they did not dare to easily invade.
After all, if he wasn't careful, he would probably end up like the previous three Great Saints.
Of course, Li Shimin had another motive for sending Li Lizhi to Ji Xiao.
If a spark of love were to fly between the two of them, then he could take Ji Xiao as the Prince Consort of Golden Saber and let him join the Tang Empire.
Li Shi Min comforted his daughter. He knew that she was very smart and did not say anything else.
His figure flashed as he left the Great Zhou Imperial Palace and rushed toward the Great Tang Empire.
Half a day later.
Li Shiming used his strength of the Eighth Sky of the Martial Saint Realm and used all his strength to rush back to the Tang Empire.
He did not stop and went to the entrance of the forbidden area behind the Great Ming Palace.
Li Shi Min stood at the door with his eyes lowered. After thinking for a while, he took a deep breath and finally pushed the door open.
Li Yuan was sitting cross-legged with a small bronze cauldron floating in front of him.
This was the first time Li Shi Min had seen this small bronze cauldron. He was shocked.
At the same time, he was even more certain of his suspicions.
"What are you doing here?" Li Yuan opened his eyes and asked.”
"Imperial Father, your son has received news that the Five Great Empires have dispatched large armies to Tianyuan City in the Great Zhou Empire to prepare for war against the Great Tang."”
"I know that," Li Yuan replied.
"Father, I have a presumptuous request."”
"Speak," Li Yuan said.
Li Shi Min hesitated for a while and finally said,""Imperial Father, please stop the war against the Great Qin Empire!”
Li Yuan's eyes widened as the Emperor's Will burst out from his body, forcing Li Shiming to retreat.
"Bastard! Do you know what you are saying?”
"If it was just the Great Tang's 150 million Martial Royal Realm soldiers against the 700 million soldiers of the Five Great Empires, we would have had a great chance of winning, but…" Li Shiming said.
"But what?" Li Yuan asked.
"If all the Saint Venerable level experts of the five empires were to move out together, it would be extremely difficult for us to win!”
After a pause, he added,"Moreover, there's that mysterious expert from the Great Zhou Dynasty."”
Li Yuan raised his head and laughed." Don't be afraid. With me around, no expert is a threat!"”
"But, if the Tang Empire sends out all its forces, our defense will be weak. If the demons invade, won't the people be plunged into misery?" Li Shi Min said.”
Among the demon race, some races were close to humans, such as the Cyan Phoenix race, while others regarded humans as food, such as the Heavenly Tiger race.
" This war will end very quickly," Li Yuan said." Even if the demons invade, what's the big deal if some civilians die?" We can take all of Great Qin!"
Li Shi Min's eyes lit up when he heard this, but he immediately lowered his head and thought,
"He doesn't care about the lives of the people of the Great Tang. This isn't the style of Father's faction. If he isn't Father, who is he?”
Li Shi Min thought as he turned around.
"You can tell?" Li Yuan asked lightly.”
"What?" Li Shi Min was slightly shocked.”
"You had a hint of killing intent on you just now."”
Then, he grabbed Li Shi Min and imprisoned him.
"Stay here. I promised your father that after the Great Zhou Dynasty is destroyed, I will let you live and let you continue to be the Emperor of the Great Tang.”
Li Shiming was shocked,"Could it be that he's launching a war against Great Qin with the goal of destroying the Great Zhou Dynasty?"”
He had a vague feeling that there was a shocking conspiracy behind this and wanted to find out what it was. However, he was confined and his five senses were sealed, making him unable to move.
"Li Yuan" had his hands behind his back, a cold smile on his lips, and a long look in his eyes.
He first waved his sleeve and sent the imprisoned Li Shi Min to a secret room far away from the forbidden area.
Then, he flipped his palm and the mysterious pearl appeared. On the surface of the pearl, Li Yuan's painful face appeared.
"Li Yuan, Li Yuan, if you were more obedient, why would we have to come to this?”
Li Yuan's face roared in the bead,""You actually hid your primordial spirit in the ball of extreme cold glass fire you gave me. Baili Rentu, you people from the Tathagata Holy Land will die a horrible death!!”
Baili Rentu sneered." It was you who broke our promise first. You actually joined forces to attack the Great Tang for the sake of the Five Great Empires. You were afraid that the people of the Great Tang would suffer, so you gave up on the war to destroy the country. Aren't you seeking death?”
After saying that, he ignored the furious Li Yuan and put the bead back into his storage ring.
……
In the wild mountains, Ji Xiao stabilized his cultivation for half a day before standing up.
As he raised his hand, cracks appeared in the void.
If he did not restrain his aura, even the Sacred Sovereign would not be able to withstand a gaze.
Ji Xiao's stomach growled. He felt hungry and immediately returned to the palace.
He walked to the imperial kitchen and pushed the door open.
Ji Xiao was slightly stunned.
He saw a delicate and beautiful beauty. The young girl was munching on a can of melon seeds and holding a novel in her hand.
The young girl heard the voice and raised her head. Her big black eyes met Ji Xiao's and she was also stunned.
