Chapter 34 Taixu Dao, Li Qingzhou

Soon, they arrived at the Forbidden Palace in the north of the imperial city, which was surrounded by high walls.

There were thousands of black-armored guards guarding the four walls, and there were also imperial guards wearing red armor and holding longbows patrolling on the city walls.

The city is magnificent and the palace is not tall but extremely gorgeous.

The pillars are made of gold and wood, the beams are carved and the buildings are painted, and every brick and tile is crystal clear.

On the ground paved with round white jade, there is a layer of red and gold interwoven carpet, which is extremely luxurious and gorgeous.

"Has the memorial from Xijiang Prefecture been delivered?"

Inside a palace, Emperor Wei was looking through memorials at his desk and asked in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty, I have sent someone to question the Left Prime Minister."

Liu Gao spoke very quickly, his voice was clear and loud, and he did not dare to make the slightest mistake.

"The memorial is with Xie Jing?" Emperor Wei frowned.

"Yes, that's what the Black Dragon Guard's secret agent said."

"Oh, he is very patient!"

Emperor Wei uttered a laugh that was either a sneer or a sarcastic laugh, then threw away the memorial in his hand and rubbed his brows.

Seeing this, Liu Gao hurried forward and carefully pinched his shoulder.

"Your Majesty, drought is a natural disaster that is difficult to reverse with human power. Even if Wuliangshan and Taixudao take action, the most they can do is..."

Before he could finish speaking, a burst of hurried footsteps was heard from outside.

"Father, father!"

Then the twelfth prince Wei Letian and Princess Wei Xiaoyun trotted into the hall.

Liu Gao secretly thought that he was in trouble, and before the Emperor Wei got angry, he immediately went to meet him.

"Your Majesty is tired today..."

"It's okay, let them come over."

Emperor Wei waved his hand, forced a smile, looked at his children and asked, "Why are you in such a hurry? Did that stubborn old Gu Tiangang bully you again?"

"No," Wei Letian said, "Father, it's Chen Er..."

Wei Xiaoyun interrupted him and said, "It was Chen Yi from the Wu'an Marquis family. He defeated Mr. Ning!"

After saying that, she glared at her twelfth brother.

Chen Er is what they call Chen Yi in private. How can they call him that in front of the emperor?

Emperor Wei paused. He remembered the name Chen Yi and asked with some interest:

"Tell me, how did he defeat Mr. Ning?"

"Fencing! Mr. Ning said he wants to practice with Chen Yi, and then..."

After Wei Letian and Wei Xiaoyun talked and gestured for a while, Emperor Wei finally understood the whole story.

"He defeated the sword genius of Taixu Dao Sect with just swordsmanship? Liu Gao, I remember Ning Xue is sixteen, right?"

"Your Majesty, I heard she just turned sixteen."

Liu Gao was also surprised.

Others may not know, but he knows the secrets between the Wu'an Marquis Mansion and the Jingye Marquis Mansion in recent times.

Although no one knew what Zhou Tiance was trying to do, all signs indicated that he was secretly spying on the Marquis of Wu'an's Mansion.

And the person in the vortex is a child named Chen Yi.

"Hahaha... I was right. Of Chen Taiping's two sons, the second one is indeed the most promising!"

The Emperor of Wei laughed, and all his previous worries about the drought disappeared.

"Your Majesty has a sharp eye."

After laughing, Emperor Wei looked at Wei Letian and the other two and encouraged them, "Now you understand why I asked you to go to Xingwu Academy, right?"

"Don't think you can underestimate others just because you have royal blood. Today it's Chen Yi, tomorrow it could be someone else."

"There are many people in this world who are more talented and capable than you. Remember to work hard."

"I will follow the Emperor's orders. I will take my leave."

Wei Letian and Wei Xiaoyun looked at each other quietly, then stood up and ran out.

Humph, tell him the good news, not only no reward but also a lecture.

Don’t listen, don’t listen, don’t listen!

The Emperor of Wei laughed and cursed at this, then thought for a moment and said, "Send someone to give Marquis Wu'an an oral message."

Liu Gao quickly took a pen and paper and wrote down his thoughts. "Tell him that I am here, and the incident during the Lantern Festival will never happen again. Just let him garrison in peace."

Having said that, Emperor Wei paused and a smile appeared on his lips.

"Also go to Jingye Marquis's Mansion to summon Zhou Tiance and tell him that I miss him and want him to accompany me to the back mountains to hunt for two months."

Liu Gao was stunned. Two months?

Your Majesty, are you planning to stay in the hunting ground until after the Mid-Autumn Festival?
Don’t you want to know about the drought outside?

At this time, Emperor Wei continued to order: "Also Xie Jing, order him to personally go to Xijiang Prefecture and Jiangnan Prefecture to supervise the disaster relief. If he fails to do a good job, don't come back!"

"Yes."

Liu Gao thought to himself that this was the right way to do it.

……

Ning Xue left the imperial palace forbidden area in a daze and returned all the way to the branch of Taixu Taoist Sect in Kyoto Prefecture.

She walked straight through the pavilion and the eaves and came to the backyard room. When she was hesitantly raising her hand to knock on the door, she heard Gu Tiangang's voice coming from inside the door.

"Nephew Ning, come in and tell me something."

Ning Xue pushed the door open in response, but her footsteps paused, a look of surprise revealed on her cold face.

"Master, why are you here?"

In addition to Gu Tiangang, there was another handsome young man in a green shirt standing by the window with his hands behind his back.

It turned out to be her master - Li Qingzhou, who was known as the master with the highest talent in swordsmanship in Taixu Taoist Sect in the past thousand years.

"I'm passing by here for something and came to see you." Li Qingzhou said with a smile.

Gu Tiangang at the side mercilessly exposed, "Obviously, he heard that there was a sword genius and wanted to take him in as a disciple in advance."

"Master..." Ning Xue looked at the handsome young man with resentment.

Li Qingzhou was speechless and coughed, "Don't listen to your uncle's nonsense. I came here mainly to see you and take a look at that genius."

Then, he changed the subject without leaving any trace and asked, "Did you leave school early today?"

Ning Xue's expression changed slightly, and she nodded gently, saying, "I have something I want to report back to my uncle."

"what's up?"

"Today, I will compete with the sword genius Chen Yi in swordsmanship..."

"Oh?" Gu Tiangang raised his eyebrows. "How many moves did he last?"

Li Qingzhou also became interested and stroked his chin and said, "We are only competing in swordsmanship. You should be testing him."

"I guess he should be able to hold out for ten moves. After ten moves, you will be able to figure out his strength and defeat him with one strike."

I don't know.

Ning Xue lowered her head silently, pursed her lips and said: "My disciple lost, and he, he only used two swords."

Lost?

Gu Tiangang and Li Qingzhou paused, looked at each other, and saw the surprise in each other's eyes.

They both knew that Ning Xue had an excellent talent in swordsmanship, otherwise it would be impossible for her to have gained a glimpse of sword intent and reach the minor success level in swordsmanship at the age of sixteen.

Coupled with ten years of hard training, his sword skills have been perfected, and he is particularly good at the vibration sword style.

Even without using sword energy or sword intent, purely in terms of swordsmanship, he is already number one in the entire Taixu Daotong realm.

How could such a genius actually lose to Chen Yi?
Even if he had an extraordinary talent for swordsmanship, was extremely talented, and practiced swordsmanship all the time, it would only take him a thousand days and nights.

Unless he is born knowing it!
"Tell me in detail." Li Qingzhou restrained his smile and asked calmly.

"Yes."

Then Ning Xue began to narrate the story of her swordsmanship contest with Chen Yi at Xingwu Academy.

While explaining the process, she drew her sword and demonstrated so that the two elders could see it more clearly.

"Master, uncle."

"Although there were only two strikes, I could feel that his swordsmanship was extremely concise and sharp, and each strike hit my weak spots."

"Difficult, could it be that his swordsmanship attainments are far beyond the minor success stage?"

As she spoke, Ning Xue looked gloomy.

At the age of three, her sword skills are already terrifying. If she reaches the great perfection level... I'm afraid her sword heart will be broken.

How could there be a sword-fighting genius in the world who is more evil than the master?
