Please Condolence, Your Majesty!
"Seven days ago, three thousand Snowy Dragon Cavalrymen from Chulu Mountain went up to Jia Yun Peak and were wiped out in one battle!”
Li Shimin felt a little dazed. Was this Yuan Tiangang trying to fool me?!
He looked at Yuan Tiangang in disbelief.""You said…Chu Lushan and the three thousand Snowy Dragon Cavalry died on the top of the Jia Yun Peak?”
"This subject does not dare to deceive the sovereign!" Yuan Tiangang knew that Li Shiming didn't believe him.
Even when he first heard the news, he had asked the delinquent to verify it five or six times before he dared to bring the news back to see Li Shiming.
Li Shi Min was stunned…
There was no need to mention Chu Lushan. He had a thousand cavalry and was incomparably valiant.
Whether in the Northern Liang or in the Great Tang, he was recognized as a first-class Great General, the most trusted aide of the Prince of the Northern Liang, Xu Xiao.
Such a valiant general actually died on the top of Jiayun Peak?
The Snow Dragon Riders were a top-tier army that even Li Shiming was envious of. The Black Armored Army under his command was actually a replica of the Snow Dragon Riders.
If he had 3,000 Snow Dragon Cavalry, the Great Tang would have settled down three years earlier!
Such a strong army had actually died in battle on the top of the peak?
This was simply like talking in his sleep!
Li Shiming suppressed his chaotic thoughts and asked the most important question,""Who did this?"
" On the top of the Excellent Cloud Peak, there was a young man with a broken arm and a limp. His swordsmanship was extremely powerful. He broke through 360 pieces of armor with a single sword strike and killed Chu Lushan in front of the formation. Then…" Yuan Tiangang could not help but feel terrified when he talked about the information he had obtained.
" After that, someone recited a poem and never showed himself. He only used the righteous spirit of the Confucians to kill all the remaining Snow Dragon Cavalry. According to the information obtained by the bad guys…" Yuan Tiangang couldn't help but look at Li Shimin.
Seeing that the emperor was still expressionless, he continued,""The owner of the crippled man and the person who killed the Snow Dragon Cavalry with his righteous aura is the same person…the ninth prince, Xuan!”
Li Shi Min raised his head and his pupils shrank.
This joke was too big.
Li Xuan had been fond of reading since he was a child and had no knowledge of cultivation. If he really had the ability to kill thousands of Snowy Dragon Cavalry with a laugh, he would have long returned to Chang 'an.
Most importantly, Li Shimin had been paying attention to Li Xuan's situation ever since he lived in seclusion at Jiayun Peak.
In the past fifteen years, Li Xuan had never taken a single step down the mountain. All he did was study.
He had never come into contact with any martial artists.
Could it be that he had become a top-notch expert in his studies at Jiayun Peak?
Just thinking about it was ridiculous!
" Li Xuan hasn't cultivated since he was young. This news is probably wrong.”After a long time, Li Shi Min's emotionless voice echoed in the Great Ming Palace.
Yuan Tiangang hesitated for a moment, but he still braced himself and said,"Your Majesty, not long after Chu Lushan died, the Half-step Martial Saint Xu Yan of the Northern Liang arrived…"
" He personally confirmed that the mysterious expert who had never appeared was the Ninth Prince, Li Xuan. He fought with the Ninth Prince using his aura, but…he was at a disadvantage and left without fighting!”
Yuan Tiangang's voice wasn't loud, but it was like a clap of thunder, causing Li Shiming's body to stiffen!
His hands on the imperial table were clenched into fists, veins popping out, and his palms were covered in sweat!
Yuan Tiangang's words caught him off guard.
Xu Yanbing was a Half-step Martial Saint of the Northern Liang, so his words would not be wrong. After all, he could not mistake the enemy who killed Chu Lushan and the Snow Dragon Cavalry.
To be able to kill 3,000 Snow Dragon Cavalry while reciting poems, one must be at least a land god.
If it was really Li Xuan, didn't that mean that this unfilial son had become a land god?!
Xu Yanbing was the Martial Saint of Beiliang. Even when he fought with this unfilial son, he was suppressed. One could imagine how terrifying his strength was!
Thinking of this, Li Shi Min felt a chill in his heart.
This unfilial son's current strength was so tyrannical, he was probably going to be restless!
If he didn't get rid of it early, it would definitely leave behind endless troubles!
Thinking of this, Li Shi Min's expression turned cold.
Li Shi Min had never been a person who feared the strong.
Before the coup of the Black Tortoise Sect, the Crown Prince and King Qi had received the support of their father, Li Yuan, and the Heavenly Policy Manor had been in danger.
However, he still seized the opportunity and decisively launched the Black Tortoise Sect's change. He attacked the strong with the weak and secured the throne!
When he first ascended the throne, the two hundred thousand strong Turkic soldiers were lined up on the north bank of the Wei River, approaching Chang 'an.
At that time, Chang 'an army was empty, almost no enemy army, or Li Shimin, first set up suspicious soldiers, and then personally led a mere six cavalry, across the Wei River, scolded Jie Li Khan for breaking the covenant.
He scared Jie Li Khan into obediently signing the Wei River alliance.
However, just three years later, Li Shimin had destroyed the Turks!
In his life, he had faced countless powerful enemies, but in the end, the one who won was always himself!
So what if he was an unfilial son of a Land Immortal?
At this moment, Li Shiming's heart had calmed down. The invincible Tian Zi had returned!
" Has there been any response from the Northern Liang?" Li Shiming, who had recovered, immediately found the key to breaking the situation.
Yuan Tiangang replied," When I returned to the capital, the Northern Liang had already mourned for Chu Lushan and the 3,000 Snowy Dragon Cavalry who died in battle. They also ordered the soldiers and civilians of the three regions of the Northern Liang to wear mourning clothes. The commotion was huge!”
Li Shi Min pondered for a moment and instantly understood the crux of the matter.
He couldn't help but smile faintly." This Prince of Beiliang has created such a huge commotion for me to see…I think Xu Xiao should contact you by now."”
Yuan Tiangang really admired Li Shimin's foresight.
He took out a letter from his sleeve." I was on my way back to the capital when a messenger from the Northern Liang blocked my way. He said that there was a letter written by the King of the Northern Liang and that it was to be delivered to Your Majesty…"
"He also said that Northern Liang has shown their sincerity. If Your Majesty wants to get rid of the worry in your heart, you can hunt with Northern Liang in Northern Mang!”
Li Shimin took the letter from Yuan Tiangang and opened it. He couldn't help but laugh," Hehe…This Prince of Beiliang is unwilling to take any losses. He's here to ask for my sincerity…"
That unfilial son had left Chu Lushan and the 3,000 Snowy Dragon Cavalry on the top of the Jia Yun Peak. This was equivalent to giving Xu Xiao a tight slap in the face in front of everyone.
If the Prince of Beiliang were to stop here, the three provinces of Beiliang would have to change their surnames sooner or later.
Now that there was no possibility of reconciliation between Xu Xiao and that unfilial son, the Great Tang could naturally cooperate with the Northern Liang.
It was time to let the Northern Mang bleed, or else…another Turkic would appear on the grasslands!
Having made up his mind, Li Shimin didn't hesitate,"Yuan Qing, send a message to Xu Xiao on behalf of Zhen. Tell him that Zhen agrees to this matter!”
"The Great Tang will help him get rid of Bei Liang's worry, but he, Xu Xiao, will also get rid of Zhen's worry!”
Li Shiming's voice was filled with killing intent!
"I…"
"Reporting to Your Majesty, the bad guys are 800 miles away!”
Before Yuan Tiangang could finish his words, he was interrupted by Jin Xian who rushed in again.
Yuan Tiangang couldn't help but be stunned. Normally, although this kind of news was urgent, it should have been handed over to the Emperor after he, the bad commander, returned.
At this moment, this urgent report was actually delivered directly to His Majesty's Dragon Case. Could it be…
Yuan Tiangang's heart suddenly skipped a beat.
"Yuan Qing, read it to me!”Li Shi Min, who was sitting on the throne, had a gloomy expression.
Obviously, he also understood that something was wrong.
There was only one possibility that could make a bad person lose his composure, and that was that something big had happened.
Yuan Tiangang took the urgent report from Jin Xian with a heart full of worries.
After Immortal Jin left, he slowly opened it. With just a glance, Yuan Tiangang's expression changed drastically.
Li Shi Min's heart tightened.
Yuan Tiangang was always calm and collected when he was in trouble. Li Shimin had never seen anything that could make him lose his composure.
For a moment, Li Shi Min's mind was filled with thoughts.
He felt a little uneasy…
No matter how big the matter was, could it be bigger than what that unfilial son had done in Jiayun Peak?
" Your Majesty, the bad guys have come to report..." Yuan Tiangang took a deep breath.
"Li Hanyi broke through to the half-step Soul Travel Realm and was…killed by the Ninth Prince, Li Xuan. He sank to the bottom of the river!”
Ninth Prince Li Xuan…has attained the Scholarly Sage's position!”
Boom!
Yuan Tiangang's voice was very soft, but Li Shiming felt like a big bronze bell was being hammered by his ear!
At this moment, he only felt his ears buzzing and his blood boiling!
Scholarly Sage?
Ever since Zhang Fuyao, the scholarly faction had not had a saint for eight hundred years. What did this unfilial son do to actually be able to attain such a great position?
The Scholarly Sage's strength was equivalent to a Land Deity or a Soul Travel Realm expert.
If that unfilial son really managed to become a Confucian Saint, then it would make sense for him to kill thousands of Snow Dragon Cavalry and force back Xu Yan's soldiers!
The more Li Shi Min thought about it, the more his heart sank.
As for the news that Li Han Yi had been killed, it didn't attract Li Shi Min's attention at all.
This unfilial son had already become a Confucian Saint. What else could be more important than this?!
"Calm down! Suppress it with silence!" Li Shi Min kept chanting in his heart to calm himself down.
He used all his strength to force himself not to lose his composure.
"Yuan Qing, is this news…trustworthy?”The first thing Li Shiming did was to confirm the credibility of the news.
This was related to…
The stability of the Great Tang!
The stability of the throne!
Even Li Shi Min's own life and death!
This was also the second time Li Shiming questioned Yuan Tiangang's ability as a bad person.
However, Yuan Tiangang could understand Li Shiming's feelings at the moment. When he first saw this urgent report, he was shocked beyond words.
"Your Majesty, this urgent report says that on the day the Ninth Prince came out of seclusion, a strange phenomenon descended from the sky. Above the top of Jiayun Peak, the Wenchang Imperial Star lit up!”
"Snow Moon Sword Immortal Li Hanyi was killed by the Ninth Prince with a single move and his corpse sank into the river!”
"From this, it seems that the Ninth Prince's achievement of becoming a Confucian Saint is not false!”
Yuan Tiangang's every word was a heavy blow to Li Shiming's heart.
After he finished speaking, Li Shimin understood that the unfilial son had really become a Confucian Saint.
On Jiayun Peak, the Wenchang Imperial Star that symbolized the Confucian Saint had been lit up. Combined with the urgent report from before, Li Xuan's claim to the Confucian Saint's position was certain.
Li Shi Min suddenly felt that the situation in front of him was more troublesome than anything he had ever encountered.
He wished he could get rid of his son as soon as possible and grow into a behemoth that even he felt a little afraid of!
What should he do now?
What should the Great Tang do?
Li Shi Min fell into deep thought. He subconsciously frowned and stood up from his throne.
Dan Emperor's Yuan Tiangang couldn't help but sigh inwardly…
Although this famous Heavenly Khan was not a first-rate martial arts expert in terms of personal strength, he did have the heart of a strong man!
In just an instant, he recovered from the great change…
Li Shi Min's thoughts were quickly organized.
The matter of that unfilial son obtaining the Confucian Sage was already a fact, but he definitely could not sit idly by and wait for him to come and find trouble with him!
When he was 16 years old and went to the battlefield, he understood one thing…
The two armies were in front of each other, striking first and controlling later!
Now that the unfilial son was so powerful, he had to make arrangements in advance. Just relying on Northern Liang alone would not be enough!
Li Xuan was currently a Scholarly Sage at the Land Immortal realm, but the Great Tang also had five sword immortals at the Soul Travel Realm!
As he thought of this, a plan slowly unfolded in his mind…
Suddenly, Li Shi Min remembered something!
He quickly walked down the steps and walked towards Yuan Tiangang."Yuan Qing, how many people know about Li Han Yi's death?”
Yuan Tiangang was stunned. Li Xuanzheng's words about the Confucian Saint were too shocking.
He had actually covered up the news of the death of the Snow Moon Sword Immortal, Li Hanyi, who had broken through to the Half-Step Soul Travel Realm.
Before this, the thoughts of the monarch and his subjects had never been on this matter.
" Your Majesty, according to the rules of delinquents, no more than two delinquents will know about this. However, such a major event in the martial world cannot be hidden. It won't be long before the imperial court and the martial world of Dali and the Great Tang know about this!”
Yuan Tiangang also told the truth.
Li Shi Min nodded." It doesn't matter if the whole world knows about it. There's only one person who can't know about it!"”
"Who?" Yuan Tiangang asked subconsciously.”
"Zhao Yu!"
Yuan Tiangang's expression changed. That's right!
Li Hanyi had killed Li Xuan for Zhao Yuzhen.
Now that he was dead, how could Zhao Yu let it go?
He had to go down the mountain to avenge Li Han Yi.
However, if he left the mountain, the proverb from back then would always be a thorn in the Emperor's heart.
There were still five thousand cavalry stationed at the foot of Qingcheng Mountain.
"I will send another 5,000 cavalry to Qingcheng Mountain. As for the Jianghu people near Qingcheng Mountain…"
" I'll send some bad people to expel all the martial artists within a 50-mile radius of Qingcheng Mountain. I won't let any news of Li Hanyi's death reach Qingcheng Mountain!" Yuan Tiangang immediately said.”
"This matter concerns the fate of the Great Tang. Yuan Qing, do it immediately!" Li Shi Min said urgently.”
Yuan Tiangang hurriedly turned around and left, but just as he reached the entrance of the Great Ming Palace…
"Urgent report from the bad guys!"
Immortal Jin held the report nervously and stood in front of Yuan Tiangang.
Not to mention the decades of peace in the Great Tang, even during the founding of the Great Tang, when it was at war, such a thing rarely happened!
First, Yuan Tiangang rushed back in a hurry, and then two more 800-mile emergency reports.
No matter how slow Immortal Jin was, she knew that something big had happened in the Great Tang!
However, this was not something a eunuch like him could participate in.
He stuffed the urgent report of the delinquent into the hands of the delinquent commander in front of him and hurriedly retreated.
Yuan Tiangang turned around with difficulty and came to Li Shiming. His hands were trembling as he held the urgent report.
For the first time, he felt fear towards the bad guy's 800-mile report.
This delinquent marshal knew very well that the urgent report of a delinquent would never write anything good.
Just like the news brought by the urgent report just now.
However, he didn't know what news could be more shocking than the Ninth Prince's attainments of the Confucian Saint.
Li Shi Min's face was as cold as steel as he stared at the urgent report in Yuan Tian Gang's hands.
The nails of his hands that were behind his back had long been embedded in his flesh.
He fiercely squirmed his throat. No matter how bad the situation was, how bad could it get?
"Yuan Qing, read it!" Li Shi Min's voice was low but firm.
"Yes, sir!"
Yuan Tiangang slowly opened the emergency report and glanced through it, then…
His face revealed an extremely shocked expression.
Beads of sweat instantly appeared on his forehead.
He couldn't help but look at Li Shiming with a complicated expression.
There was pity, fear, and panic in his eyes.
Li Shi Min suddenly panicked…
What did this bad-looking handsome man see?
" Your Majesty…The bad guys have reported that Ninth Prince Xuan has killed King Tai of Wei, King Ke of Wu, and King Zhi of Jin at Mount Longhu…"
"Please…Your Majesty, my condolences!"
