Outside Chang 'an City, by the bank of the Wei River.
Li Ke, the King of Shu, sat alone on his horse, overlooking the Imperial City.
That was where he grew up for eighteen years.
Today, he was going to Yizhou, far away from Chang 'an.
……
"The imperial power is really bleak, and human relations are thin!”
He had transmigrated to the Integrated Martial World of the Nine Provinces and became the Third Prince of the Great Tang. He had been strict with himself since he was young. Among the many princes, he had always done very well.
While the other princes were having fun, he had been studying military books and strategies.
When the other princes were ignorant and incompetent, he entered the Third Stage at eight, the Second Stage at nine, the Vajra Realm at thirteen, and the Finger Profound Realm at seventeen!
Compared to the other princes, Li Chengqian, Li Tai, and the others had yet to enter Rank-4! If they were over twenty-five years old, they would probably not have the chance to reach Rank-2 in their lifetime.
Among the prodigies of the Nine Provinces, he could be considered to be at the top.
In these eighteen years, he had always been humble and courteous. In front of the officials, he had never regarded himself as the King of Shu, nor had he been high and mighty.
Between brothers, he would do his best to help.
In front of his father and mother, he worked even harder. All he wanted was a word of praise.
But now…
Endless sorrow.
He was going to Yizhou, and he might never come back.
Nominally, he was in charge of Yizhou, but he was demoted and completely separated from the imperial power.
Not a single brother came to send him off. Li Chengqian, Li Tai, Li Zhi…not a single brother came to send him off. Not even a single servant came.
"Why? I've never fought with you guys before. If you guys need help, I'll do my best to help you. Why don't you want to send me off now that I'm about to leave?”
He was about to take up his post in Yizhou, but none of the 3,600 civil and military officials came.
Yes, he was going to Yizhou and would never become the emperor. It was time for the civil and military officials to choose their sides. Who would send off a person who had been banished from Chang 'an and would never become the emperor?
Even if this prince had once helped them, they would not have come to send him off now…
no brothers or sisters to send him off.
There were no civil and military officials to see him off.
Father, Mother…
Li Ke did not expect his father to send him off. He only hoped to see a group of royal guards send a few words…
However, there was nothing!
On the bank of the Wei River.
Li Ke silently turned around. His bleak back view was shattered in the Wei River!
……
He waited for six hours and guarded for six hours.
From the morning sun to the sunset.
No one sent him off!
"I didn't expect that after eighteen years of hard work, eighteen years of loyalty and filial piety, eighteen years of help from all the civil and military officials, I didn't make any good friends!”
"My life is such a failure!"
It was the dog days of summer, but the atmosphere was bleak and cold.
He was waiting.
Even if it was just a scout, a letter, or even…a messenger pigeon.
However, he had to wait for six hours.
The white horse beneath him stood there, its hooves numb.
The tightly shut Chang 'an City gate showed no signs of opening.
A young girl in a white dress with delicate sleeves rode across the river.
When she arrived in front of Li Ke, the girl dismounted.
She bowed and persuaded him with heartache,
"Your Highness, don't wait. No one will come.”
The voice of the maid Shangguan Wan 'er made Li Ke somewhat absent-minded.
After a long time, he nodded and sighed.
"Yeah, no one will come."
He pulled the reins and turned to leave.
He whipped his horse, and the horse's hooves stepped into the river, causing a large splash.
Li Ke pulled himself together, raised the horsewhip in his hand and ordered,
"To Yizhou!"
……
It is difficult to ascend to heaven, but it is even more difficult to ask for help. Coptis is bitter, but it is even more bitter to have no money. Spring ice thin, human feelings are even thinner; Jianghu dangerous, people's hearts are even more dangerous!
This trip to Yizhou would probably be dangerous again!
His father was Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin, and his mother was Princess Yang of the previous dynasty.
This was because he had the royal bloodline of the previous dynasty.
Li Ke was completely fated to be a Supreme from the moment he was born.
Fortunately, he had the system.
Ten years ago, when he was conferred the title of King of Shu and Governor of Yizhou.
The check-in system was successfully bound.
There was a check-in system, and they could sign in once a year.
The rewards were very generous every time.
In the first year, he controlled the intelligence of the Hundred Birds Nightfall World and fought Li Shimin's bad guys.
In the second year, he hid in various places in the world, hiding from the world.
In the third year, he signed with a martial arts expert, a horsekeeper with a sword case, an old servant with an arm, and an old man;
One of them guarded Wudi City, and the other opened the Gate of Heaven with a sword. If the three of them got one of them, they could do whatever they wanted in Jianghu.
Now, the three of them were behind him.
The horse galloped.
Li Ke took the lead and was thirty miles ahead of the Xuanjia Prefecture Army!
100 miles east of Chang 'an, outside Hundred Battles City, Ye Ying, the Human Butcher, was waiting for the King of Shu.
The King of Shu, Li Ke, went to Yizhou. Li Shimin ordered General Ye Ying to lead 1,000 Xuanjia soldiers to escort him.
Ye Ying, ranked seventh among the Ten Great Generals of the Tang Empire. He was known as the Human Butcher and was a Grandmaster of the Profound Finger Realm.
"Why isn't the Third Prince here yet?"
Ye Ying was riding on his three-meter-tall Wind Chasing Horse, looking in the direction of Chang 'an. Among all the princes, Ye Ying was most afraid of Li Ke. A year ago, the Third Prince had entered the Finger Profound Realm at the age of seventeen, shocking the world.
Ye Ying did not believe that there was such a genius in the world. After finding the King of Shu, he wanted to ask for advice.
In that battle, Ye Ying had only wanted to spar, but in the end, he had used all his strength and could only draw with the King of Shu.
From then on, he knew that His Highness the King of Shu was a martial arts prodigy and a proud son of heaven. If he entered the army, he would definitely be a victorious general!
"Report! Report! Report!"
The scout came before Ye Ying.
"General, the King of Shu has arrived!"
Ye Ying's burly body looked up and saw four horses.
The leader was the King of Shu. He was dressed in a brocade robe and riding a white horse.
The King of Shu was followed by three servants.
He was walking alone, but he was pulling a thin horse. His walking speed was as if he was flying.
An old servant with a broken arm wearing a sheepskin coat.
There was also an old man.
"Fight!"
Ye Ying took the lead and went up to them.
After Li Ke saw Ye Ying, he laughed,""I thought I was a failure and didn't have any friends. I didn't expect General Ye to be waiting for me here.”
"Greetings, Your Highness the King of Shu. This humble servant has been ordered by His Majesty to wait for Your Highness. This humble servant will escort Your Highness all the way to Shu!”
"Thank you, General Ye!"
