Monarch of Evernight: One, two, five, tempering
bsp;Everyone present was shuddering. Once these two Sky Wind and Cloud Smoke Beads were released, they would definitely cause an uproar. When the time comes, it will definitely attract countless powerful people. However, while sitting on the profits, whether the Li family can control the chaotic situation is anyone's guess.
After a long silence, someone started talking again, "Originally, the refining materials for this batch of Tianfengyun Yanzhu would have to wait two years to be collected. It was only when His Majesty needed it that he allocated a few treasures from the imperial treasury to make up for it. He paused and asked tentatively: "Brother, I heard that it was Lin Xitang who advised His Majesty?"
Li Tianshi glanced at him and said: "Yes, Tianfeng Yunyanzhu involves the change of floating land. Just know this in your heart and don't talk about it. Lin Xitang will not use such a dead thing to deal with my Li family. Don’t think too much.”
The man was still hesitant and said: "The Battle of National Destiny didn't start well. Lin Xitang was seriously injured in the Battle of Sleep of the Behemoth. Will his deduction this time be inaccurate?"
After saying this, the others here did not speak, and they all had different thoughts on their faces.
Li Tianshi was calm and calm, and said calmly: "Lin Xitang, you may not like him, but you can never underestimate him. Besides, the situation of the national war has always been connected with the fate of the heaven and the luck of the camp, and it is also affected by those Whether it’s Yong Ye or Da Qin, who dares to say an accurate word about the influence of a powerful man who stands at the top?”
The man opened his mouth, but found that he couldn't find anything to say, so he couldn't help but raise his tea cup and take a sip.
After a pause, Li Tianshi said again: "Taking a step back, even if the floating land has not changed, what loss will it have to my Li family? The Tianfeng Yun Yanzhu can increase the following cultivation potential of the **** by one level. This use alone is enough to scare those outside."
Some people felt unwilling and sighed: "But we have spent so much hard work, are we really giving it away like this?"
"If you can exchange two Yunyan Pearls for a misty forest, it's not a loss. This is the key to our family's advancement." At this point, Li Cunjian, who led the army, saw it very clearly, and then he Then he sneered: "Those outsiders, even if they really get such a treasure, they still have to live to use it."
Everyone was stunned.
Li Tianshi said: "Then it's settled. Oh, by the way, go and call Xiaojiu back, let him change his identity and name, and also go to Fulu to compete for military glory."
"Call Qingyun back?"
Li Tianshi nodded and said: "Yes. He is slightly less talented and has little hope of becoming a general. With the help of Yun Yanzhu, he can reach the last step. I can't obviously favor him, but I won't give him a chance. Arousing criticism. If Xiaojiu has this opportunity, if he has better luck in the future, he may be able to cross that big threshold."
Everyone looked at each other and nodded slowly.
High-ranking families all have the ability to check and balance divine generals, but if they want to be promoted to a powerful family, they must have real divine generals in charge. The Li family is already well prepared in this regard. However, aristocratic families are not static, and there is a risk of falling down at any time if their strength is weak. The current embarrassing situation of the Song clan is a lesson learned from the past, so there are not too many opportunities to promote the children of the family.
Li Tianshi arranged it this way and achieved multiple things with one stone, which is naturally very good. It's just that it's not easy to steal food from the wolves. Even if you succeed, the road to becoming a **** general is even longer.
Li Qingyun has been smart since he was a child, and has been addicted to martial arts. He can master any martial arts as soon as he learns it, and he is perfect in just a few moments. He has a cruel temperament and extremely murderous intentions. He has no enemies but himself. His combat power is even higher than that of Li Kuanglan at the same level of cultivation. However, the only drawback was that he was slightly less talented. Even with Li's achievements in secret medicine, he could not find an effective way to cleanse the marrow and replace the bones, which has always been cited as a pity.
Li Tianshi glanced at everyone and saw that there was no objection, so he said: "Then the matter is settled, let's get the news out first."
Everyone in the Li clan looked stern and responded. They knew it wouldn't be long before there was a storm.
After everyone left, Li Tianshi sat still. It was not until an entourage in his forties entered the garden that he stood up and led the visitor into the study room in the garden.
In the quaintly furnished room, there was a man playing a chess game enjoying himself. The man was dressed simply and had the face of a twenty-year-old man. However, if you look closely, you will find that he is definitely not as young as he looks.
Li Tianshi said: "Uncle." Then he turned to look at his entourage, "Have you collected all the information? Just tell me."
The attendant opened the folder in his hand and said, "We have some clues about the things Mr. Rui named for investigation." The matter was not complicated, and the attendant was an expert in this field, so he quickly finished the report concisely and clearly.
"So, Lin Xitang did leave the imperial capital during the Battle of Sleep of the Beast." Li Ruizhi kept his eyes on the chessboard, slowly put down another piece, and then said: "He went to Qingyang Prince's Mansion yesterday? That's really good. How brave. What do you think?"
Li Tianshi sat upright, looking down at his hands on his knees, and said calmly: "During the battle for national destiny, it is not appropriate to cause trouble again. The turmoil on the Void Floating Continent will only be more or less."
Li Rui smiled and threw the two white stones between his fingers into the chess box. "The storm is not a problem. If there is no storm, how can there be such a great trend? Forget it, we old guys have to fight for the orthodoxy. You young people should concentrate on it. Let’s expand overseas! Are you ready for this reorganization of the Imperial Military Region?”
Li Tianshi said: "Uncle Fang Qingtang will be transferred to the War Department, and the other few people will move around, and they will be able to lead the troops with a high degree of confidence in their actual duties. His Majesty's Guards will also recruit two more lieutenant generals from our clan. It's a pity that this Things are still urgent, and we can't recommend a candidate for marshal."
The redrawing of military districts is not just a matter of a few marshals' deployment of defenses. There will be countless changes from the military headquarters to the localities. General Li Fangqing is currently the highest-ranking member of the Jingtang Li family in the military. He is currently the admiral of the military department and leads the military police. This position is noble and powerful, but those who manage internal affairs are not as good as the generals who guard the region in the war department.
Li Ruizhi said: "The foundation of our army is shallow. Even if the strength of the divine generals is exposed two years earlier, I am afraid that we will not be able to secure military power. It will be good to have a few more practical positions this time, but I will send them to the Guards." You have to carefully choose the candidates." He thought for a moment and said, "Brother cares about you brothers and sisters very much, especially A Lan."
Li Tianshi's calm expression suddenly changed, and his brows furrowed involuntarily.
Li Ruizhi looked up and saw his expression, and couldn't help but wonder: "Even you don't know how A Lan and those two little guys are related?"
Li Tianshi smiled bitterly, "My little sister should have met Zhao Jundu when she was exploring the central cave of the Sleeping Beast. But Song Zining has been moving with the army, and in the later period, he was almost always in the Qingyang King's headquarters. If she had been to Zhang Clan, Camp...we don’t know it either!”
Li Ruizhi also showed a hint of helplessness, "Alan is really spoiled!" He said this, but there was no hint of blame.
Li Tianshi's wry smile deepened. His younger sister was his father's daughter, and she was deeply loved by the elders. He, Empress Li and other brothers and sisters, because of the big age difference, almost all held her in their hands like daughters. However, she has been very smart and talented since she was a child, so she has developed the temperament she has today. It is really no one else's fault.
But this matter is too delicate. If nothing happens, it doesn't matter. If something happens, it won't end well.
"Alan is being too silly this time. You must control her." Li Ruizhi said: "Song Zining can just pay it back. Zhao Jundu doesn't matter. He is the son of the eldest princess, so he is a generation behind. Besides, Tian Tian was there back then. During the dispute over Taoism, Duke Zhao Xuanyun of Xuan Yuan supported the Dongtantai clan to compete with my Li family, which resulted in both sides losing, and the rise of Lin Xitang, a little-known sidekick, was the foundation of our Li clan and had nothing to do with the Zhao clan. Maybe it’s good.”
Li Tianshi's expression condensed slightly. He did not expect that Li Ruizhi would take this little kid's play seriously. After thinking about it, he asked: "Some time ago, the Supreme Elders were planning to form an alliance with King Qingyang." It is said that something is not going well. I don’t know what will happen next?”
Li Ruizhi also frowned when talking about this matter, "His Royal Highness Zhang did not comment, but he did not reject it directly. When I go to the imperial capital this time, I will look for an opportunity to discuss this matter with the Queen."
Li Tianshi lowered his gaze, his face darkened.
Li Ruizhi stood up and said, "I'm leaving tonight. I'm leaving now." He didn't go through the door, but went to the inner room and moved a hanging flower stand. The south wall full of books was silently empty. A secret passage appeared silently.
Before walking into the secret passage, Li Ruizhi suddenly turned around and said, "Master Hou is a man of great talent and strategy, and he should be the leader of the resurgence of my Li family, but sometimes don't be emotional."
Li Tianshi sat there for a long time, and the entourage next to him stood as straight as a pillar, motionless.
"Zhijie, A Lan is still in retreat?"
"Yes, it is said that the young lady has gained another enlightenment on the path to the Great Perfection of combat skills. This time she must master the Hidden Frost Sword Style before she can leave." Nowadays, most of the servants of the Li family only know that the master has a Young brother, this follower was born as a servant, and was also the son of Li Tianshi's nanny. He had been with him since he was a child, so he couldn't change his name in private.
Li Tianshi asked again: "How is Shuai Lin?"
The entourage said: "Some time ago, there were rumors that he was seriously injured in Behemoth Sleep. That was false news released by Beifu, but there was something really wrong with his body, and the situation is unknown." This news was just revealed to Li Ruizhi in front of Li Ruizhi. He didn't mention it in person, and for a person of Lin Xitang's status, most of the injuries and injuries were difficult to verify, and Li Ruizhi didn't particularly ask.
Li Tianshi nodded and let him go down. After the entourage left, Li Tianshi sat for a while, then stood up and walked to the window, his eyes seeming to penetrate through many obstacles and fall on the mountains and sea.
The Jingtang Li family is one of the oldest inheritances of Tianyan Shu. It has a long history no less than that of the four clans. Even though it was hit hard by the dispute over the orthodoxy, it is still a behemoth in the world of magic and is the leader of many A guest honored by the royal family and even top dignitaries.
However, there are strengths and weaknesses. The apparent strength of the Li family has always been hovering in the upper reaches of the family. To this day, it only occupies two counties in the southern coastal province, and occupies several counties in other continents. The total is less than one province, and there is still a gap between the on-the-ground conditions for upgrading the clan.
Although the two camps are constantly fighting, the mainland of the empire has been at peace for a long time. For a fiefdom like the Jingtang Li family, it is not unusually difficult to expand territory. If he proceeds step by step, I am afraid that Li Tianshi will not be able to make it into a powerful family in his entire life.
Li Tianshi suddenly smiled, with a faint fire in his eyes, and said to himself: "With or without power, I will eventually make wedding clothes for others. How can I, Li Tianshi, always be controlled by others? The battle for national destiny, hey!"
The spread of empire news can be said to be fast or slow. It often takes ten months for frontier affairs to reach the imperial capital, but truly major events can spread throughout the entire family within a day. Not even a day later, the news that Tianfeng Yunyanzhu would appear on the Li clan's military merit list reached the desks of the heads of various powerful families.
There was a sudden undercurrent.
Qianye, who is far away in the floating land in the void, still doesn't know what the so-called sky wind and cloud smoke beads are, and even if he knows, he won't take it to heart. This cloud mist bead can improve the talent potential of the next level of the **** general. It can be called a divine item, but it is useless to Qianye.
His practice of the Song Dynasty's ancient scrolls is very different from the mainstream secret law principles, and there is no common bottleneck at all. The force of both the Dawn and Evernight side of Qianye has been refined to an extremely pure level by Xuan Yao's two articles. All that needs to be done now is to balance, and then when both sides reach their perfection, they can explore the return to the realm of chaos mentioned in the general outline.
And what Qianye wants to gain from this war is not resources, but military merit, pure military merit.
At this moment, Qianye’s attention is on the Black Book that is slowly opened.
Under the thick cover is a familiar catalog page, with only one line on it: Tempering.
As Qianye's consciousness flashed, the directory page turned and he reached the next page. A mass of tumbling darkness slowly turned into figures slashing with swords.
This sword Qianye has long been familiar with, it is one of the killing moves in his hand, the Nirvana Slash. However, the Nirvana Slash at this moment was different from that of that day. It was obviously much clearer, and the cold sword energy hit his face. In other words, this move is more perfect and more powerful.
Qianye seemed to have some realization and tried to turn back. Sure enough, a new page appeared after the Nirvana Slash. On this page is also a figure holding a sword, holding the sword in both hands, and instantly shoots a sword in eight directions, including front, back, left, and right.
Compared with the Nirvana Slash, this style is much simpler, but the artistic conception in the sword is very unusual, simple and thick, and each sword has the power to open up the sky and divide the sea. The pressure coming towards the face makes Qianye held his breath for a moment!
