"Princess, I'll take my leave first." After the person arrived, the maid bowed and left quietly.

Looking at the person in front of him, Su Ming did not say anything, but just looked at her. She was the same girl he had seen in the backyard before, pure and lovely, with lively eyes and a kind of spiritual aura.

At least I didn't use a fake to fool him.

Yelu Zhiwu was quite graceful and not shy and reserved like other women. She circled around him twice, raised her chin and said softly, "Are you the emperor of the Tang Dynasty?" Her clear voice was ethereal and pure, like the chirping of a young oriole.

In front of her, Su Ming did not put on any airs of an emperor, and said casually, "Well, as you can see, I am the emperor of the Tang Dynasty."

Hearing the answer, Yelu Zhiwu's eyes flashed with satisfaction and she smiled sweetly, "Not bad, I thought you were an old man, but I didn't expect you to be so young."

"What? I hope I didn't disappoint you." Su Ming blinked.

Yelu Zhiwu looked at him carefully for a few times and nodded seriously, "He looks OK, but a little thin, not as strong as my grassland boys."

As she said this, a faint blush quietly crept up the tips of her ears. Not only was he good-looking, this man was the most handsome and the most manly man she had ever seen.

She felt a breath similar to that of her father from him.

"Haha, you are honest." Su Ming smiled and found a chair to sit down. "After this period is over, I will take you to visit Luoyang. There are many delicious foods here, and many new things you have never seen."

Yelu Zhiwu nodded slightly and said only four words, "Okay, I'll wait for you."

With a good start, Su Ming started chatting with her happily. Most of the time, she was talking about her experiences in the Khitan tribe. Su Ming listened attentively and asked questions from time to time.

Before I knew it, half an hour had passed.

Chapter 155 This is not Longchi Star Change!

In the night, the sea surface was rippling slightly under the breeze, the dark night met the water surface, the sea and the sky were one color, and from a distance, it seemed that there was only pure black left between heaven and earth.

On the sea, a ship was floating on the coast. It seemed that there was no one on the ship, but the cabin was full of people dressed in black with sharp blades hanging from their waists. They were scattered in every corner of the ship, blending into the darkness.

In the topmost cabin, bright lights flickered in the darkness, as if they would go out at the next moment. Two people stood here. One was thin, with big eyes, rouge on his cheeks, a pale face, and eyes full of flattery and restraint.

One of them was wearing a long robe, a conical hat, and a strange mask on his face. His eyes were dark and deep, making people dare not look at him. But just standing there, he had an aura of majesty without even being angry.

He is the feared and powerful evil commander, Yuan Tiangang.

In front of them, there was a long table with hundreds of purple glass beads on it. Each one of them was worth a fortune and was very rare in the world.

These beads placed on the table seem to be scattered and irregular, but in fact they coincide with the orbits of the stars in the sky.

Mirror Heart Demon stood aside and dared not move. Yuan Tiangang stretched out his hand and waved it. The powerful Tiangang Jue internal force burst out of his body, guiding the hundreds of glass beads to move along the celestial trajectory.

Those beads, three to five or more than ten beads forming one constellation, were unpredictable. Yuan Tiangang controlled them with ease.

This move is enough to show the power of Yuan Tiangang's internal strength and his exquisite control.

"How is this possible! Three hundred years ago, Li Chunfeng and I had already predicted this hexagram. Why is it that when we divine it again today, it is still the same hexagram?"

"In the vast Central Plains, don't try to stop the eight oxen. If you don't swim clean, you will be left with blood and a headless body! Three hundred years ago, Li Chunfeng and I had already calculated that Zhu Wen would be in turmoil across the Central Plains, with disputes rising everywhere. The "eight" under the character "ox" represents the character "Zhu". If you don't swim clean, you will be left with blood and a headless body."

"血" without a head is "皿", and "泅" with a "皿" below is "溫". Unfortunately, I had already prepared a retreat plan at that time. Even though I knew Zhu Wen would usurp the Tang Dynasty, he still followed the path I had arranged for him.

"I have followed the will of heaven and followed the current situation. But why is the hexagram still the same? I have done so much, but the hexagram has not changed!"

"One queen and two lords have all ascended to heaven, and the vast world is now one family.

Not only will I be spared if you kill me, but you will also get Li Erhua later."

"Li Erhua, who exactly is this plum blossom referring to? Is it Li Xingyun or the person sitting in the Taiji Hall? Who is the blooming plum blossom?"

"It's changed, everything has changed! Who did this Li Dai Tao Jiang kill?"

Yuan Tiangang looked at the hexagram on the table, his eyes emitting a fierce light and an unspeakable madness spreading in his mind. He had worked hard for hundreds of years, but only got such a result.

How could he accept it? How could he give up?

"Oh!"

The next moment, Yuan Tiangang swung his palm, and the whole table was overturned. The glass beads were scattered on the floor, and the Mirror Heart Demon next to him was so scared that he didn't dare to breathe.

"Impossible, impossible!" The furious Yuan Tiangang found it difficult to accept this blow. He did not want to accept that his two hundred years of business had turned out to be in vain. He immediately lost his mind and fell to his knees with a thud.

This was the outcome three hundred years ago, and it is still the outcome three hundred years later. So what is the meaning of Yuan Tiangang's existence!

This hexagram was a huge blow to Yuan Tiangang, even greater than the blow he had brought when he personally destroyed the Tang Dynasty. Anyone who knew that he had worked hard for hundreds of years but still could not change the outcome would go crazy.

Yuan Tiangang's aura was fully open, and a depressing atmosphere filled the small cabin. Jing Xinmo's face became paler and paler, and he was so scared that he couldn't even stand steadily.

At this moment, he could no longer breathe. He felt like a small boat facing huge waves that could capsize at any time.

Suddenly, the Mirror Heart Demon accidentally glanced at the glass beads on the ground. His pupils shrank and he couldn't move his eyes away. The beads on the ground actually formed a new hexagram unintentionally.

He gritted his teeth and squeezed out a sentence from his throat, "Marshal, there is new news!"

These six words exhausted Jing Xin Mo's strength. After he finished speaking, he could not stand and collapsed to the ground.

When Yuan Tiangang, who was in a rage and madness, heard these words, he instantly raised his head and looked at the beads on the ground. In his eyes, those scattered beads seemed to be connected by an invisible thread, forming a new hexagram.

"Ziwei falls, Tianquan appears, Pojun appears, Qisha arrives, Tanlang is robbed, this is Longchi Star Change! No, that's not right, Ziwei falls, not death, Tianquan is the star of Wenqu, assisting Ziwei, this is not Longchi Star Change, nor is it Sha Polang's situation."

"Heavenly power, expediency, where is the change?"

"The change is my fault? No, that's not right. I overturned the hexagram, so I'm out of the game. This game has nothing to do with me. Tianquan, is it expediency, or power? Or is it a balance?"

At this moment, Yuan Tiangang couldn't help but think of Su Ming. If Li Xingyun was Ziwei, then Su Ming, sitting on the throne of the Son of Heaven, could barely be considered to be related to Tianquan.

The power in his hands is the most prominent power in the world. The imperial examination system he reformed will blaze a new trail in the future and reopen the path of literature and art for the world, which can be said to be the path of literature and art.

"Could it be another plum blossom?"

"We are all one family. You not only gave birth to me but also killed me!"

At this moment, Yuan Tiangang's heart was in turmoil. His mind was no longer on the plum blossom, but on life and death.

This sentence applies exactly to Li Keyong and Li Siyuan.

Li Keyong, Li Maozhen, Li Cunxu, and Li Siyuan, all of them have the surname Li. They are not of Li Tang bloodline, but come from all over the place, which just fits the saying that we are all one family.

The fall of Ziwei could not be changed, but Tianquan's expediency gave him a glimmer of hope.

Yuan Tiangang has always used tyranny to fight against the laws of nature, and firmly believes that man can conquer nature. Everything in the world is ever-changing, but as long as you focus your mind, you can accomplish anything.

Heaven is determined to defeat man, and man is determined to defeat Heaven!

Thinking of this, Yuan Tiangang laughed wildly towards the sky, and his hoarse voice rang out, "Haha, I didn't expect that the piece I casually dropped in the past would actually lead to today's change. I'm afraid even you didn't expect that the hexagram already had a way to break the situation."

"Ziwei doesn't have to die, but he must fall in this game. Tianquan will confront Sha Po Lang. It doesn't matter which of the plum blossoms is real or fake!"

"Li Xingyun, you can't escape this game of chess! Those people with the surname Li will eventually join the game. I have been waiting for three hundred years!"

"If you are strong enough, why not let you become the real Li Hua? I am waiting to see what happens in Longquan!"

Chapter 156: The Simple Princess

As Yuan Tiangang's laughter rang out, the depressing atmosphere in the cabin was swept away. Jing Xinmo propped himself up and stood up, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and was shocked at the same time.

He found that his clothes were soaked.

Mirror Heart Demon didn't care about these things, and a flattering smile appeared on his face again, "Marshal, since the hexagram has changed, what should we do next?"

The moment he saw the opportunity to break the impasse, Yuan Tiangang was no longer hesitant or confused. Rather than seeing the same hexagram as three hundred years ago, he was more afraid that everything he had done in the past three hundred years would be in vain.

What people fear most is losing faith.

In the original novel, he knew that he would die if he left the island, so why did he go? Not only because he was tired, but also because he had lost his faith.

After three hundred years of painstaking efforts, it would be better to do nothing. What he did was completely meaningless, and in the end, nothing could be changed.

At that time, he wanted to die.

On the contrary, Yuan Tiangang now sees a way to break the impasse, and it is a change he created with his own hands, which means that everything he has done has a different meaning.

In the past, he believed that man could conquer nature, and it is still the same now!

Yuan Tiangang stretched out his palm and released his internal force, and the overturned table returned to its original state. At the same time, the glass beads on the ground were absorbed by his internal force and placed back on the table.

The hexagram on the ground appeared before them exactly as it was. However, this hexagram was too vague and unpredictable, and it had too many variables compared to the hexagrams they had previously divined.

"Where is the message delivered by the Bad People?" Yuan Tiangang's voice sounded in Jing Xinmo's ears.

"Marshal, the latest news from Central Plains has been delivered." Jing Xinmo took out a scroll from his sleeve, raised it above his head, and had a very respectful attitude.

The scene just now has almost become his nightmare. He doesn't want to experience it again in his life. He never thought that death is so close to him.

After getting the scroll, Yuan Tiangang took out a secret scroll and read it carefully. The moment he saw the information on it, the pupils hidden under the mask shrank, and he was actually a little excited!

Seeing the news that the emperor was negotiating with the Khitan and was about to form a marriage alliance, Yuan Tiangang subconsciously praised, "Great, a great alliance, a great marriage and peace talks!"

Even though he no longer underestimated that person, he still felt amazed. The marriage was simply a stroke of genius, and even he hadn't expected it!

Although the Bad People are spread all over the world, they are out of reach on the grassland and cannot exert much influence on the Khitan. His mind has always been on the Central Plains and he has not paid too much attention to the Mobei grassland.

This move was made by the emperor himself, and the bad guys had no way of interfering.

But it was this that made Yuan Tiangang amazed.

The little guy who grew up with him finally grew up to the point where even he was paying attention to him. Marrying the Khitans could not increase his power, but he could borrow the power of the Khitans.

If one day, the court no longer has the King of Qi and the King of Jin, but still has the Khitan as a foreign relative, any governor who wants to deal with him must consider the Khitan's thoughts.

Even though the Mobei royal court was thousands of miles away from the Central Plains, the military force on the grassland was daunting, and everyone had to consider the consequences of provoking the Khitan.

This move was the chess piece that Yelu Abaoji placed in the Central Plains.

Only that person could make Yelu Abaoji change his mind. If it were the real Li Xingyun, he might have been suppressed by Li Siyuan and turned into a puppet. How could he have the energy to borrow the power of Khitan?

Yelu Abaoji would not place his bets on Li Xingyun. He was not only playing chess, but also playing people, because Yelu Abaoji believed that the emperor of the Central Plains could expand his power under the suppression of the Jiedushi and turn against the Jiedushi.

Only such a future can make Yelu Abaoji excited.

In a blink of an eye, Yuan Tiangang's mind turned and he saw through the tacit understanding between Su Ming and Yelu Abaoji. The matter of the marriage was tacitly understood by the two.

Yelu Abaoji knew that if he, Yelu Zhiwu, went to the emperor, the emperor would not refuse. The emperor also knew Yelu Abaoji's idea, but did not refuse.

He had refused earlier because the time was not right and he was not yet fully prepared. At that time, the two sides were not on an equal footing when it came to cooperation, and a marriage alliance would not be of much benefit to him as the emperor.

Now, the marriage can not only allow him, the emperor, to borrow the power of Khitan, but also allow him to gain political prestige and win the hearts of the people.

For the emperor, military power is important, but the people's hearts are equally important.

Yuan Tiangang laughed deeply, "Alright, when the emperor gets married, I will have a great gift for him!"

……

In the inn, Su Ming and Yelu Zhiwu chatted more and more happily and soon became familiar with each other.
