She is an old thing too, she can die, but she doesn't want her daughter to die so young. This is still a better ending. If she really marries over there honestly, with her daughter's beauty, no one knows what terrible things will happen.
"Mother…"
When Li Yuhan heard this, her eyes turned red. She walked over and hugged Li Jinling in her arms, with two lines of tears sliding down her charming face.
She knew the importance of strength, but when she worked hard to cultivate to the Lingdan realm, she found that there were so many helpless things in the Lingdan realm. How she wished that the annoying guy could appear in front of her immediately and help her out of this predicament.
But... is this possible? She has sent hundreds of envelopes, but there is not a single reply. What is he doing? Has he forgotten her?
But forgetting her... maybe it's normal. She's just a vixen. It's said that guy seemed to have hooked up with a sixth-rank alchemist in Linghua Academy. Maybe he has forgotten her a long time ago.
"Haha... maybe a vase will always be a vase for the rest of its life..."
Li Yuhan thought so in her heart.
……
39. The Secret of the First Prince of the Jin Dynasty
In Liezhou, on the vast wilderness, a few horse-drawn carriages were galloping here and there. The occasional strong wind brought up a cloud of dust. Looking around, you couldn't seem to see many people, only the sound of the whistling wind and sand.
In one of the carriages, a figure wrapped in a light brown cloak was whipping the horse continuously, trying to drive it to go faster.
When the hood of the cloak was blown off by the strong wind, a rather young face could be seen. This "young man" was Lin Ran.
He basically used the carriage and his spiritual power to travel. After arriving at the Shengqiong Academy and taking the space tunnel back to Liezhou, he headed all the way to the Li Dynasty.
Now, as long as they gallop across this wilderness, they can reach the nearest pass to the Li Dynasty's imperial capital, Anling.
If he hadn't been unable to get a ticket for the flying monster, he would have probably arrived at the Li Dynasty by now.
He took out a bottle of spiritual power-recovering pills from the space ring. After swallowing a few pills, he narrowed his eyes slightly, used part of his mind to guide the medicinal power to be refined into pure spiritual power and incorporated into the elixir.
He basically did this all the way, without wasting any time and was always on the road.
After an unknown amount of time, as the shadow of a building vaguely appeared in the distance, Lin Ran knew that the nearest checkpoint of the Li Dynasty, Yuxin Pass, was about to be reached.
Lin Ran had been to this pass several times before. When he came here again, it was not as prosperous as he remembered. There were obviously fewer people in the city, and even the number of people leaving the city was greater than the number of people entering. This surprised Lin Ran very much.
"Has the war spread here?" Lin Ran thought to himself.
But there were no signs of fighting in these places. According to what was written in the envelope, the main location of the battlefield should be Nanshan Pass.
Lin Ran decided to stop here for a while, inquire about the situation, and then continue moving forward. He found a hotel that looked quite clean, got off the carriage and walked straight in.
As soon as he came in, he saw the fat boss at the counter dozing off, his left hand supporting his chubby face. He woke up when he heard footsteps. When he saw Lin Ran, a smile immediately appeared on his face: "Sir, you want to stay overnight, right? You've come to the right place. This is the best hotel in Yuxin Pass!"
Lin Ran took off his hood, leaned against the counter, pointed at the street and said, "Boss, I've been to Yuxin Pass before, why are there so few people inside the pass now?"
"Well, sir, are you coming from somewhere else?" the boss said in surprise.
"What's wrong? Is it not possible?" Lin Ran smiled.
"It's not impossible, but the Li Dynasty is about to change hands, and there will be a big movement soon. Now everyone is rushing to get out. Sir, when you entered Yuxin Pass, didn't you find that there were not many people even in the city defense? They all ran away!" said the boss.
Lin Ran was suddenly shocked. He just thought that there were not many people in the city defense and they were recruited to other places. He thought that the situation inside the Li Dynasty would become very bad, but he never thought that the Li Dynasty would soon perish. What on earth happened?
Lin Ran remained calm, took out some money, put it in front of the boss, and whispered, "Boss, can you tell me what happened in the Li Dynasty?"
The boss took a look, took the purse and weighed it, and immediately smiled. There was nothing else to do anyway. He had long wanted to talk to someone about the infuriating situation in the Li Dynasty, which made it impossible for him to make much money.
"Sir, this all started with that damn war a few years ago..." The boss began to tell the history book from the beginning.
After a long time, the carriage in front of the hotel couldn't help but let out a long whistle and galloped towards the direction of Wangdu Anling.
Lin Ran, who was on his way, had a gloomy face. He learned a lot from his boss. Some of the information might be exaggerated, but some of the key information prompted Lin Ran to rush to Anling without stopping.
"Li Yuhan, Li Yuhan, why do you want to sacrifice yourself like this? Or is this a delaying tactic you want to use?" Lin Ran smiled bitterly helplessly. His little maid had been sending her letters asking for help, but he received them too late. He could only hope that he could still make it in time.
……
The Li Dynasty had its capital in Anling.
At the gate of Jinling Chamber of Commerce, Li Yuhan's face was not looking good. She looked at the team of carriages that almost occupied two-thirds of the entire street. On them were placed the betrothal gifts sent by Jin Zhenpeng, the eldest prince of the Jin Dynasty.
There were also dozens of guards firmly guarding the entire street. The powerful murderous aura emanating from those guards scared away all the people who wanted to watch the excitement. They pushed away and stood on tiptoe, as if their heads were being held by invisible hands.
Li Yuhan looked at the person leading the front of the team. He was the captain of the guard team who was escorting the betrothal gifts to the house, and also Yuan Fei, a Lingdan realm master and a close confidant of Jin Zhenpeng.
Yuan Fei was wearing armor and his huge figure stood in front of Li Yuhan, making Li Yuhan feel like she was facing a small mountain.
Yuan Fei knelt on one knee and shouted loudly: "My Lady Imperial Concubine, this is the betrothal gift and dowry that the Great Prince ordered us to give you. It also includes the wedding dress you will wear on your wedding day. If it is not suitable, the Great Prince has also brought a group of professional female servants to serve you. Please accept it, My Lady Imperial Concubine."
Li Yuhan thought she was very good at cultivating her Qi, but she was still a little annoyed when she heard these words. She sneered and said, "Your eldest prince is really thoughtful. Send all these things to the warehouse!"
Li Yuhan called the people from Jinling Chamber of Commerce to handle the matter, then turned around and went in. Yuan Fei didn't mind this, he asked his guards to follow those people to deliver the betrothal gifts to the warehouse, then left with the guard team.
The street was flooded with people again, but how many spies were mixed in with this crowd?
Today, Li Yuhan has deployed guards and spies all over the Jinling Chamber of Commerce headquarters to prevent those outsiders from sneaking in. But even so, Li Yuhan knows that there are spies among her people, and the only place where she can be truly free is in that small study.
Li Yuhan returned to the study and stood by the window looking at the street outside. She wondered how many of the vendors were fake and how many were real. Perhaps even Li Yuhan herself didn't know. Now, except for her mother, she looked at everyone with the greatest hostility and caution.
The most appropriate way to describe her at this moment is as a hedgehog.
Because she is now pointing her sharp thorns at all the people she thinks are enemies, and her soft belly may only be stretched out to close people.
What happened in front of the Jinling Chamber of Commerce spread to the palace and the other three families at an extremely fast speed.
At this time, Jinling Chamber of Commerce can be said to be a focus of attention of many forces, and any disturbance will be reported back at the first time.
In the Hua family, the eldest elder of the Hua family, Hua Yunlong, and the head of the Hua family, Hua Feng, who has not been seen for a long time, have not left the Hua family since he became a deserter at Nanshan Pass last time. Now he is responsible for the external intelligence work of the Hua family.
After receiving the news from Jinling Chamber of Commerce, he immediately found his father Hua Yunlong to discuss it. Hua Feng handed the note in his hand to Hua Yunlong. After reading it, Hua Yunlong paced in the yard, looking at the flowers and plants in the yard.
After a long while, he said quietly, "Every move we make next will be extremely dangerous. It is only a matter of time before the Li family falls, but we may not be able to eat this big piece of meat.
The Jin Dynasty is so anxious to take over the Jinling Chamber of Commerce. Besides the eldest prince's lust, they want to eat up the Li family. Will they eat us after that?"
Hua Feng was shocked when he heard what his father said, and quickly asked: "Then should we cooperate with the Li family again?"
"Are you stupid? You still want to cooperate with the Li family again? How can you cooperate with the Li family when things have come to this? Don't forget the stupid things you did not long ago!" Hua Yunlong couldn't help but scolded.
Faced with his father's scolding, Hua Feng could not help but lower his head.
Hua Yunlong waved his hands helplessly and said, "Forget it, forget it. I was obsessed with it at the beginning. I wanted to take advantage of the internal strife of the royal family and the external forces to directly swallow up the Li family and change the name of the Li Dynasty.
But now... let's wait and see. If it doesn't work, we'll prepare to leave the Li Dynasty!"
"leave?!"
Hua Feng's face changed drastically, and he asked anxiously: "But almost all of our family business is in the Li Dynasty!"
"What can we do? The Li Dynasty was swallowed up by those two dynasties. Do you think we can survive? We have the strength to rebel." Hua Yunlong shouted angrily.
These words were like a loud bell, waking Hua Feng up. Hua Feng could only accept the result helplessly and began to prepare to clean up the Hua family's business.
What happened in the Hua family was similar to what was happening in the other two families of the Li Dynasty, the Zhan family and the Mo family. They all wanted to abandon the Li Dynasty.
There was no other way. The Yun and Jin dynasties joined forces with the Demonic Weapon Sect to deal with the Li Dynasty. Originally, they were able to maintain a balance. The Nirvana Realm and Lingdan Realm masters of the Li Dynasty could contend with the other side. But suddenly, several unknown Nirvana Realm masters appeared, causing the originally balanced scale to tilt towards the other side. This was what really made the Li Dynasty fatal.
The current incident involving Li Yuhan from Jinling Chamber of Commerce is nothing more than the result of this series of causes.
.....
One of the study rooms in the residence of the eldest prince Jin Zhenpeng in Mingcheng, the capital of the Jin Dynasty.
The eldest prince strictly forbade anyone to approach this study. At this moment, Jin Zhenpeng was in the study, holding a portrait of Li Yuhan drawn by a famous painter in his hand, nodding his head continuously. He had been coveting Li Yuhan for a long time. Such a peerless beauty who could bring disaster to the country and topple the whole nation should belong to him.
Just as the eldest prince was fascinated by the portrait, a dark red demonic aura suddenly emerged from the center of the study, and a figure wrapped in a black robe suddenly appeared in the study. Seeing this, the eldest prince quickly stood up, knelt in front of the man in black and shouted, "My lord, what can I do for you?"
I'm afraid no one would have thought that Jin Zhenpeng, the eldest prince of the Jin Dynasty, this high and mighty eldest prince would actually kneel down to a person. This is really incredible.
The man in black said in a very harsh and hoarse voice: "When... will you get that... woman?"
"It will be very soon. The wedding will be in a few days. On the wedding night, I will bring that woman to you, sir!" Jin Zhenpeng shouted hurriedly.
"This is not for me, it's for the great Demon Lord!"
The man in black robe was very angry. He pushed Jin Zhenpeng against the wall of the study room with a wave of his hand. Jin Zhenpeng's sturdy chest almost caved in. A shadow flashed in his eyes. He knelt down quickly, slapped himself and shouted: "It's my fault, it's my fault, I deserve to die, I deserve to die..."
"Complete your mission quickly, or you know the consequences!"
The man in black said this, and disappeared without a second thought, not even looking at Jin Zhenpeng, who was like a drowned dog...
……
40. Infiltrate
Silence is the main theme of the night.
The evening breeze blows, causing the lungs to rise and fall.
Returning to their long-lost homeland, many people may involuntarily take a deep breath, as if the unique fragrance of their homeland rushes into their nasal cavity, enters the endless flow of hot blood, and brings back those familiar memories.
Lin Ran couldn't remember how many years had passed since he last left the royal capital of Anling, but he still remembered that when he left, the Li Dynasty was extremely prosperous and bustling, full of vitality and the streets were crowded with people.
But when he stepped into the capital of this dynasty at night, what he saw was a dead silence. Many shops had closed their doors early, and there were few people on the streets except for the patrolling guards.
Those who dared to stay outside were in a hurry, probably wanting to go home and hide.
"The king of the Li Dynasty has become like this!"
Lin Ran, who was hiding in an alley, felt deeply moved when he saw the current appearance of the city.
Lin Ran did not stay for too long. He changed into a black robe that was convenient for moving at night, blended his figure into the darkness, and according to his memory, moved towards the headquarters of Jinling Chamber of Commerce.
When arriving at the outskirts of the street where the Jinling Chamber of Commerce was located, it was surprisingly lively. This made Lin Ran feel strange. Other areas were not as noisy as this place. What was going on?
He couldn't help but stop and shouted in his heart: "Fanhua, can you conceal my soul power? I want to explore the area ahead without being discovered."
"Of course you can. When you use your soul power, you just need to activate the core power of the Tassel Palace at the same time!" Fanhua responded.
Lin Ran's soul power, with a layer of golden coat, penetrated into the seemingly bustling street in front of him. With his strength and the help of the flowers, no one could find him unless there was a high-level Dragon Transformation Realm cultivator. What's more, it was difficult for the Li Dynasty to even have a Nirvana Realm cultivator, so how could there be a Dragon Transformation Realm cultivator?
Sure enough, beneath the bustling appearance here, there are spies with varying strengths lurking. Lin Ran also heard some conversations. The spies here were sent by various forces with only one goal, which is to monitor every move of the Jinling Chamber of Commerce.
"The little maid really attracts a lot of attention!"
Lin Ran shook his head helplessly. After exploring with his soul power, he found that there were too many spies here. Tonight was a full moon, and the moonlight was very generous, making the entire Anling Mountain covered with
A layer of silver moon veil.
He could only slowly find his way to the entrance of Jinling Chamber of Commerce and then look for an opportunity to sneak in.
This false bustle gradually quieted down as the night progressed, and many shops closed their doors, but the spies hidden in the dark never disappeared.
As the long night gradually draws to an end and the sky is about to brighten, it is also the time when the sky is darkest and people are the sleepiest.
At the entrance of an alley near Jinling Chamber of Commerce, a figure blended into the darkness and turned into a gust of wind that blew into Jinling Chamber of Commerce.
The guard who was patrolling inside the Jinling Chamber of Commerce couldn't help but yawn. At this moment, a cold wind blew from behind him, making him shiver. He looked around quickly, at the flowers and plants around him, but found nothing.
"It seems that I am really too sleepy. I will have a good sleep when the handover comes!" The guard couldn't help but mutter and continued to join the patrol.
Lin Ran has already entered the Jinling Chamber of Commerce. With the help of the night pearls placed in the corridor, Lin Ran can clearly see the situation inside.
"It's still the same...but some places have been renovated..." Lin Ran thought secretly in his heart.
He avoided the guards inside and went straight to the top floor of Jinling Chamber of Commerce. He was quite familiar with Jinling Chamber of Commerce. The top floor was basically Li Yuhan's living area, and the two of them had played a lot of tricks there.
Coming to the only tightly closed thick mahogany door on the top floor, there was no formation on it. It could be pushed open with some random manipulation.
After coming in, Lin Ran also came to this familiar living room. The living room was not big, but the decoration was quite ancient. He couldn't help but squat down and touch the thick carpet embroidered with delicate patterns.
He still remembered that everything here was arranged by him and Li Yuhan. He didn't expect that it was still so new even now. He couldn't bear to get it dirty, so he took off his dusty boots.
He walked towards the bedroom. Everything here was furnished in a hidden and exquisite way. He could see some paintings and calligraphy hanging on the wall, all of which were extremely artistic.
He came to the room at the end, and to his surprise, the door was ajar.
Holding his breath and pushing the door open gently, Lin Ran slipped in nimbly without making any sound. He felt like a pervert who was attacked at night.
The room was quite large. Under the exquisite and luxurious lavender gauze curtain was a large soft bed. Charcoal was burning in the fireplace in the corner of the room, making the room warm and comfortable.
On the soft big bed, there was a body lying on its side, wrapped in a thin silk quilt, with a head of black hair falling like a waterfall, and the nightgown slipped down slightly, revealing the white shoulders. She was murmuring softly, as if talking in her sleep.
Lin Ran walked silently to the bed, slightly lifted the curtain, lowered his body, and looked at Li Yuhan's sleeping face. He was distracted for a moment.
"This little vixen, her Sky Fox Skill is getting more and more powerful when she practices it." Lin Ran thought secretly in his heart.
Just as he was about to reach out and shake Li Yuhan awake, he heard a low cry, and then he saw Li Yuhan uttering a seductive murmur: "Well... damn Lin Ran... bad guy... he started to touch me as soon as he came back... don't touch me!"
