However, Li Keyong could not counterattack Li Ye for he had no soldiers or horses.
Not long after Li Keyong killed Li Cunxiao, the guards wrapped his body in a straw mat. Just as the guards were about throw away the body, Kang Junli, who went to the grasslands to borrow troops from the Tartar clan, had returned.
However, there were no Tartar troops with him. He came back alone.
Li Keyong saw him in his study.
As soon as Kang Junli entered the door, he fell to his knees and began crying.
He came back alone on his horse, without even a guard.
The guards had all lost their lives at the steppe. Kang Junli himself was also covered with blood. His hair was all messed up and he looked utterly awful.
After listening to Kang Junli's story, he froze on his chair and his eyes were dumbfounded.
There was a change of climate with the Tartar clan. More precisely, the entire grassland had change
Li Keyong laughed upon hearing his words, as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world. "God?"A smile appeared on Yelv Abaoji's face. The smile seemed bright and harmless, however, a sharp edge was hidden inside. "The lord seems to have some misunderstanding about God?"With a flick of his sleeves, Li Keyong grinned and said, "There are gods in the world and immortals in the heavens, but there is only one god between heaven and earth, that is myself!""God is god, and man is man. Since the lord is so confused about your position, it seems I need to help you so that you know your identity." Yelv Abaoji's tone was casual as usual, and the smile on his face did not diminish in the slightest. He didn't seem angry all, but he raised his hand to Li Keyong gently.He raised his hand so lightly that it seemed as if he was picking up falling snowflakes. It was gentle and unthreatening. However, when Li Keyong and Kang Junli saw this s
Of course, it was Li Ye.Li Ye glanced at Li Keyong and Yelv Abaoji, and his gaze lingered on Yelv Abaoji inexplicably for a moment. "Yelv Abaoji?"Of course, he knew Yelv Abaoji.In his previous life, after he ascended the throne, Qidan invaded Yingzhou in the northeast and became another big border threat of the Tang Empire. Zhu Wen occupied the Central Plains and fought against Li Keyong, who was the Emperor of the Jin Dynasty, for many years. Yelv Abaoji once allied with Li Keyong and made an appointment to deal with Zhu Wen together.However, Yelv Abaoji broke faith with Li Keyong. He attacked the states and counties under Li Keyong's jurisdiction and brought him a lot of troubles and casualties. Li Keyong was so angry that he asked his son to avenge him and fight north to Qidan, before he died.Unexpectedly, Li Keyong already reached the dead end now, and Yelv Abaoji came to find him. This was destiny.
It seemed that Yelv Abaoji's round bead was a Magic Treasure for escape. If it was just a mortal magic tool, it would be useless in front of Li Ye, who was now able to kill the cultivators in the Ground Immortal Realm instantly.Li Ye was surprised that Yelv Abaoji was really going to leave. This guy was talking big in high spirits and he was passionate just now. According to common sense, even if he didn't fight to the death, he should fight against him fiercely. Who would think that he would run away as he said?Li Ye didn't know whether to laugh or cry.Li Ye felt for a moment, and soon he had a judgment in mind. Even if he used the "Purple Qi Yin and Yang", he was not sure of disabling the black bead, so he chose to wait and see.Li Ye was just surprised, but Li Keyong's face was bloodless.He stared at Yelv Abaoji angrily. "Why are you so dishonest? Just now, you and I vowed to form alliances and help each other.
When Great Cultivators fought, they would usually set an enchantment in advance, in case of hurting the innocent or being seen by ordinary people, which would affect the order of the human world.The cool night breeze swept over the roof, the tiles, and Li Ye's clothes and hair. Then, it slipped away from the courtyard door. The leaves rustled, and the sound of the gong was heard from afar. Except for the Inspector General's Manor, this ancient city was still moving on the original track tonight.Not many people died tonight, but it was very bloody because the dead people were very powerful and they died in a cruel way.It was very cold in the courtyard.The smell of blood came to Li Ye's nose, making him frown.He glanced at Li Keyong, who was lying on the bluestone floor, and suddenly lacked interest. He stood up, rolled his sleeves, flew up, and left this absurd place.Maybe, Li Cunxiao was destined to
The administrative regions of the Tang Empire were divided into four levels of prefectures, counties, towns, and villages. The terrain in the east of Mount Tai was generally flat. Qing Prefecture was the capital of Pinglu, and there was fertile land. There were large areas of farmland with crisscross footpaths outside Qing Prefecture. The cottages in each town and village were very dense.People started work at sunrise and rested at sunset. There was always a busy scene of farming here in recent years. The farmers went out and went home with their hoes. In autumn, the harvest would ensure that they would have plenty of food and clothing for the whole year.But now, the farmland outside Qing Prefecture was completely destroyed. The well-growing crops were trampled and destroyed, turning into mud. They were no different from weeds. There was no one in the cottages where the fire was burning, and everyone fled to the city for shelter.Within a rad
Chang'an City.The city had long been under martial law, the shops in the east and west cities were basically closed, and there were few pedestrians on the streets. As the patrolling guards went past, you could hear the rings on their armor clanging, which signified clearly the extreme times.The mountains were full of wind and rain. Although the war had not yet broken out, the dark clouds had already shrouded the city. Even the blazing sun seemed to be mixed with the chill that could make people feel cold.Martial law did not just apply to the streets, but even the Imperial Palace.Many rarely seen grand masters had all revealed themselves at this moment. They would now appear inside and outside of the palace walls from time to time. With the current situation, no one could know whether the opponent would send Great Cultivators to assassinate. After all, the emperor's safety was very important.At the end of Vermilion
The first rays of the morning sun spilled over the ancient city of Taiyuan, and the cold left by the long night had not yet dissipated, but the rows of neighborhoods was awake. People opened their doors and walked into the courtyard. The breakfast carts in the streets and alleys were sporadically steaming, gathering groups of early customers.Li Ye, who was sitting cross-legged, opened his eyes on the low couch and saw the golden sunlight seeping through the windowsill. As the sun rays spread on the carpet, a smile appeared on his face.Hedong had settled down for some time now, and the Pinglu Army had already stationed troops in the four prefectures of Daizhou, Shuozhou, Yunzhou, and Weizhou. They were now steadily progressing with the follow-up matters. As Li Ye had totally taken control over Hedong, he now had absolute military and political power over these eleven vassal states.What followed was the Luck of the people who gathered here fro
Pinglu was under Zhu Wen's attack, and Zhu Wen had the support of the Taoist sect. So Pinglu was in a dire situation. Once Pinglu was lost, not only would Li Ye's strength be greatly damaged, his reputation would also take a big hit. After all, Li Ye had not suffered such a defeat since his debut.And with Zhu Wen's rise in power, Li Ye's followers would have to rethink their future and consider turning their backs on him.But that was for the future to think about. At present, Kang Chengqian and others just couldn't refuse Li Ye. Plus, If Zhu Wen really replaced Li Ye and became the rightful ruler of the Central Plains and the North, wouldn't they have to bow at his feet?So there was no difference between lending their loyalty to Zhu Wen and to Li Ye.In reality, Kang Chengqian and others knew that even if Li Ye lost Pinglu, he still had the vassal states of Hedong and Weibo. So Li Ye's power was still great, coupled with his pro
