Li Chengtian and Xie Xuan sat side by side on a blue stone, and the atmosphere became quiet and solemn.

"Does Your Majesty know that the world, after a long period of unity, tends to divide, and after a long period of division, tends to unite?" Xie Xuan spoke, his tone calm yet profound.

Li Chengtian smiled slightly, "This is an unchanging principle throughout the ages. However, even within the grand scheme of things, there are always variables. I observe that Young Master Xie Xuan seems to possess foresight and wisdom; I wonder if he could offer me some guidance?"

Xie Xuan shook his head slightly, "I dare not claim foresight or wisdom, I merely have a slight feeling. His Majesty has come from Daqing with overwhelming force, intending to change the landscape of Beili and even the entire continent."

However, life is like a game of chess; one wrong move and the whole game is lost. Has Your Majesty considered how to play this game safely?

Li Chengtian's eyes flashed, as if he had realized something. "Young Master Xie Xuan is absolutely right. I do have great ambitions, but I also know that the road ahead is long and arduous. I wonder if you have any good strategies?"

Xie Xuan pondered for a moment, then slowly said, "I dare not presume to offer a brilliant strategy, but I have a word of advice for you. If Your Majesty wishes to accomplish great things, you must win the hearts of the people. He who wins the hearts of the people wins the world; this saying is indeed true."

If Your Majesty can uphold benevolence and righteousness as your foundation and broaden the channels for talent, then the world's brightest minds will naturally flock to you. At that time, what great undertaking could not be accomplished?

Upon hearing this, Li Chengtian felt a sudden sense of relief.

He knew that although he possessed great strength, without the help of others, he would ultimately find it difficult to achieve great things.

Xie Xuan's words were exactly what he wanted to say.

Therefore, Li Chengtian had the idea of ​​subduing Xie Xuan and making him work for him to manage the Beili world in the future.

Therefore, he looked at Xie Xuan and said with a serious expression, "Young Master Xie Xuan's words are like a wake-up call, enlightening me."

"Young master, you possess not only extraordinary talent but also a compassionate heart, truly a rare gem in this world. I humbly request that you join me in this great undertaking; what are your thoughts?"

Upon hearing this, Xie Xuan's eyes flashed with surprise, but he quickly regained his otherworldly tranquility.

He stroked his beard gently and smiled, "I am deeply grateful for Your Excellency's kindness. However, I am just a scholar, inexperienced in worldly affairs, and I am afraid I am not up to the task."

Li Chengtian waved his hand and laughed, "Young master is too modest. Great things cannot be accomplished by one person alone. Although I am not talented, I am willing to treat you with sincerity and work together to plan for the future of Beili and even the world. If you are willing to help me, I will certainly treat you with the respect due to a national hero."

Xie Xuan remained silent for a moment, seemingly weighing the pros and cons.

Finally, he nodded slowly, his eyes shining with determination: "In that case, Xie Xuan is willing to lend Your Excellency a hand. However, I have one more request."

"Master, please speak."

Upon hearing this, Li Chengtian was overjoyed, knowing that Xie Xuan had agreed.

"Although I am willing to serve Your Excellency, I beg Your Excellency to allow me to retain some of the integrity of a scholar, so that my teachings will not be tarnished." Xie Xuan's tone was sincere, and his eyes revealed his dedication to learning and ideals.

Li Chengtian laughed heartily and patted Xie Xuan on the shoulder: "Young master, rest assured, I have always respected scholarship, and even more so, everyone's choices and beliefs. If we join hands, we will surely create a prosperous era that values ​​both civil administration and military prowess."

The two exchanged a smile, and a tacit understanding and trust were quietly established between them at that moment.

Li Chengtian turned to Baili Dongjun and the others and called out, "Dongjun, everyone, come and greet Young Master Xie Xuan. From now on, he will be our important ally."

Upon hearing this, Baili Dongjun and the others stepped forward and bowed to Xie Xuan in greeting.

Yueyao and Yueqing's eyes sparkled with curiosity and admiration; they had never seen such a handsome and talented young man before.

"Alright, now that Young Master Xie Xuan has joined us, let's continue on our way." Li Chengtian waved his hand, signaling the group to move on.

The group set off again, but the atmosphere was more harmonious and congenial than before.

Xie Xuan frequently exchanged knowledge and martial arts with Baili Dongjun and others. His erudition broadened everyone's horizons and filled them with anticipation for the upcoming journey to the Outer Heavens.

Even Li Chengtian had to admit that it was possible to become a sword immortal through studying!

……

Tianqi City, North of the Imperial Palace.

Once the martial arts tournament was announced to the world, it attracted the attention of both the Northern and Southern martial arts communities.

The Northern Li uses a sword, the Southern Jue uses a knife.

An official duel between swords and knives is far more exciting than a private martial arts fight in the martial arts world.

Emperor Tai'an was very satisfied as he looked at the memorials submitted by officials from all over the country.

As he looked at the memorial, he said to Prince Jingyu, Xiao Ruojin, and Prince Langya, Xiao Ruofeng, who were standing in front of him, "Do you two also want to participate in the martial arts tournament jointly organized by Beili and Nanjue?"

“Your Majesty, I’d better not attempt this amateurish skill.” King Jingyu chuckled softly, his gaze falling on Xiao Ruofeng, his eyes full of affection and approval. “However, Ninth Brother could give it a try, after all, he is a disciple of Teacher Li at the academy.”

He is also one of the renowned Eight Young Masters of Beili. Ruofeng, what do you think?

Xiao Ruofeng smiled slightly, his demeanor gentle and refined, his eyes sparkling with love and respect for martial arts. "Father, I do indeed share this sentiment. The martial arts exchange between Beili and Nanjue is not merely a contest of martial skills, but also a profound dialogue between the two cultures."

Your subject is willing to represent the Northern Li and compete against the martial arts masters of the Southern Jue, and at the same time, take this opportunity to enhance the friendship and understanding between the two countries.

Upon hearing this, Emperor Tai'an nodded in satisfaction. "Good, Ruofeng. You have always been steady and have superb martial arts skills. I have high hopes for you."

In this martial arts tournament, you must not only showcase the prowess of Northern Li martial artists, but also prioritize harmony and promote peaceful coexistence between the martial arts communities of the two nations.

"Your subject obeys the decree." Xiao Ruofeng bowed respectfully, his tone firm.

He was well aware of the importance of this martial arts tournament, which was not only about personal honor, but also about the face of Beili and the country's diplomatic strategy.

Just then, a eunuch rushed into the imperial study and reported nervously, "Your Majesty, there is urgent military news!"

Emperor Tai'an frowned, took the secret letter handed to him by the eunuch, quickly glanced through it, and his expression immediately became serious.

"There is unusual activity on the border of Nanjue, and it seems that they intend to gather troops."

Upon hearing this, both King Jingyu and King Langya turned serious and stepped forward to examine the contents of the secret letter.

“Father, this matter must be treated with utmost care,” Xiao Ruofeng said in a deep voice. “Since the Southern Jue has been unified in recent years, its strength has been increasing day by day. If it really intends to invade the Northern Li, we must prepare in advance.”

"good."

King Jingyu echoed, "Your subject suggests that we immediately strengthen border defenses and send envoys to Nanjue to ascertain their true intentions, so as to avoid deepening misunderstandings and triggering unnecessary conflicts."

Emperor Tai'an pondered for a moment, then finally made the decision: "Immediately issue an order to strengthen border patrols and defenses. At the same time, dispatch an envoy to Nanjue to ascertain their true (Li Wang Zhao) purpose. Ruofeng, as the head of the envoy, you shall depart immediately."

Remember, your mission to Nanjue is primarily for negotiating cooperation. I previously reached an agreement with their emperor, Fu Hengxing, who is an envoy of the Nanjue emperor.

"May I ask, Father, what is the agreement between you and Fu Hengxing?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Ruofeng's eyes flashed with curiosity. He had never heard of any agreement between his father and Fu Hengxing of Nanjue, but this was clearly an important clue that might provide additional assistance for his mission to Nanjue.

Emperor Tai'an pondered for a moment and then slowly said, "This matter concerns the long-term interests of both Beili and Nanjue, and it is inconvenient to discuss the specific details here."

In short, I had a secret meeting with Fu Hengxing and reached a preliminary consensus on peaceful coexistence and trade between the two countries.

Your mission is not only to ascertain Nan Jue's true intentions, but also to use this agreement as a foundation to attempt to deepen cooperation between the two countries.

After hearing this, Xiao Ruofeng made up his mind and bowed, saying, "Your subject understands. I will certainly live up to Father's trust and complete this mission successfully."

Emperor Tai'an nodded in satisfaction, his eyes filled with trust and expectation. "Good, I believe in your abilities. Be sure to be careful and cautious on this trip. The future of Beili depends on you."

Xiao Ruofeng bowed again, then turned and left, preparing to set off for Nanjue immediately.

Just as he stepped out of the palace, he was stopped by Prince Jingyu, Xiao Ruojin.

"Brother, is there something you need?" Xiao Ruofeng asked, looking at Prince Jingyu, Xiao Ruojin.

Jingyu Wang Xiao Ruojin looked at Xiao Ruofeng with a serious expression and said, "Brother, I've heard that you're very familiar with that person named Li Chengtian?"

"You mean His Majesty?" Xiao Ruofeng's eyes lit up upon hearing this, and he then explained to Jingyu King Xiao Ruojin, "His Majesty promised me that he would bring prosperity and stability to our Northern Li. I... trembled."

"Brother!" Prince Jingyu, Xiao Ruojin, interrupted Xiao Ruofeng, his face growing even more gloomy. "Have you considered what will happen to you and me if Li Chengtian really succeeds?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Ruofeng's expression changed slightly, as he knew that his brother's worries were not unfounded.

Li Chengtian's arrival did bring unprecedented changes to Beili, but it was also the hope he believed could bring Beili a new life.

“Brother, I understand your concerns,” Xiao Ruofeng said sincerely, “but His Excellency is not the kind of ambitious person we imagine.”

He possessed wisdom and strength far exceeding that of ordinary people; more importantly, he had the world in his heart and hoped to bring peace and prosperity to this continent.

"Peace and prosperity?" King Jingyu sneered. "Does peace and prosperity need to be exchanged for the fate of Beili?"

If he were truly so noble, why didn't he accomplish all this in his own Great Qing world, instead of interfering in the affairs of our Northern Li?"

Xiao Ruofeng shook his head and patiently explained, "Brother, the reason why His Majesty came to Beili is because he has a bigger plan. He wants to integrate the power of the entire continent to jointly resist the unknown threat that is about to come. Beili is just one part of his plan."

“An unknown threat?” Jingyu Wang frowned. “What kind of threat could make him go to such lengths? And what makes him think we can trust him?”

Xiao Ruofeng sighed. He knew it wouldn't be easy to persuade his brother, but he still tried his best to explain: "Brother, His Majesty's foresight is beyond our reach."

He saw the undercurrents swirling beneath the surface of this continent, and the crises lurking in the shadows. His goal was to protect as many people as possible from the ravages of war.

King Jingyu remained silent for a moment, seemingly weighing the pros and cons. Finally, he slowly spoke: "Ruofeng, it's not that I don't completely trust you, but I won't easily entrust the fate of Beili to an outsider."

When you go to Nanjue, you must act with utmost caution and keep a close eye on Li Chengtian's movements. If his actions harm the interests of Beili, I will not stand idly by.

Xiao Ruofeng nodded, indicating that he understood his brother's concerns and stance.

"Brother, rest assured, I will remain vigilant at all times. At the same time, I will do my best to facilitate cooperation between Beili and Nanjue, and contribute to the peaceful coexistence of the two countries."

After speaking, Xiao Ruofeng bowed again and then turned to leave.

He knew that the road ahead was long and full of challenges, but he was prepared.

But just as Xiao Ruofeng's figure disappeared, Prince Jingyu, Xiao Ruojin, covered his mouth with his right hand and coughed softly.

In an instant, several masked men ran out from the shadows: "Greetings, Prince Jingyu."

The masked men said in unison.

"Go, proceed according to plan," said King Jingyu. "We can't let Ruofeng ruin our important plans, understand?"

The masked man accepted the order and disappeared into the night like a ghost, leaving only King Jingyu standing there with a deep and complex gaze.
