Chapter 542 Farewell
Li Xijun felt cold in his heart when he heard this. This assignment alone would almost empty the Li family. After careful calculation, the number of people was exactly 70% of his own people.
He almost immediately indicated his dissatisfaction and said in a lost voice:
"What?!"
Zhao Tinggui could only laugh dryly. Li Xijun immediately restrained himself and said softly:
"Xijun is rude."
Zhao Tinggui waved his hands hurriedly, a little apologetic. He didn't want to offend the Li family, but he had to take these people with him. It was a matter of life and death. No matter what kind of face, Zhao Tinggui couldn't give in. He just drank tea silently.
Given his attitude, Li Xijun could only speak for himself, saying softly:
"Your Majesty... this is not reasonable... ordinary noble families would not withdraw like this. My family is stationed in Wangyue Lake and faces the impact directly, serving as a barrier for Qingchi... I hope you can understand..."
Although Zhao Tinggui is the eldest senior brother of Yuehu Peak, he is from a humble mortal family and was accepted as a disciple by Ning Wan by chance.
Although he is now a supporter of the Ning family and is not afraid of ordinary noble families, he is a little scared when facing the Li family. He only said:
"Tinggui is also following orders..."
The two of them were in a stalemate for a while. Although Li Xijun did not know which peak he came from, he had learned about the possible peaks in advance. He recognized Zhao Tinggui and sensed that he was a little hesitant. He must have room for maneuver:
'This person was born in a humble family, and Ning Wan valued him entirely because of his talent and temperament. He is versatile and has a kind personality. If you give him some pressure... there may be room for maneuver. ’
He gradually fell silent. Zhao Tinggui thought for a moment and finally gritted his teeth and said:
"After all, the two families have a deep friendship... Tinggui also said it frankly... I have two requests..."
He said in a deep voice:
"The direct descendants of the nobles, especially the direct descendants of the same generation as Fellow Daoist Xijun... It would be best if they could go together..."
He had just said this when Li Xijun understood:
"So this is the idea..."
Zhao Tinggui's thoughts were here. As long as the key direct descendants of the Li family went, if something happened on the battlefield, the Li family would definitely rescue them. Li Xuanfeng and Li Xizhi, who were not under the jurisdiction of Yue Hufeng, could not sit idly by.
Once the two of them were involved, if the situation became more critical, they could even involve the Yang family and the Xiao family to come to the rescue...
Li Xijun saw it clearly and sighed in his heart. If Zhao Tinggui came prepared, the meaning would be more obvious:
"It seems that Yuexiang will go with us..."
Li Yuexiang is Li Xizhi's biological sister. The matter of the Yuan family showed that Li Xuanfeng also took her to heart. Zhao Tinggui secretly calculated to let her go with him, and it was probably right.
He thought for a moment, nodded silently, and ordered:
"Go and ask Yuexiang to come up."
Seeing Li Xijun's actions, Zhao Tinggui's expression brightened slightly, and continued:
"There is another thing. I heard that the nobles have a [Wanling Flower] that can forget worries and save lives... If the nobles can match this thing to the six junior brothers in my peak, Tinggui will be grateful!"
This request is not excessive. Li Xijun had left it for his own direct line. Although it is a bit tight now, there is no problem with the inventory to support one or two years. He nodded slightly.
Zhao Tinggui seemed very happy and replied:
"Thanks to the nobles on behalf of my junior brother in the peak!"
Li Xijun's mind was still on his own arrangements. Zhao Tinggui paused and replied:
"Speaking of the manpower arrangement, if the nobles are in a tight situation, there is no need to rush to send so many people."
"Four in the late Qi training stage, four in the middle Qi training stage, nineteen in the early Qi training stage, eighty fetal breathing cultivators... How about this?"
Li Xijun understood that it was the result of two compromises, and only sighed:
"Once the sect issues an order, the Li family will obey it."
As the two were talking, a woman came in from the front of the courtyard. She had willow eyebrows and almond eyes, a fluttering white skirt, and a long sword on her waist. It seemed that she had just finished practicing, and there were several golden red flames flashing across her body.
Li Xijun said softly:
"This is my sister, Li Yuexiang."
"This is the envoy of Yuehu Peak, Senior Zhao Tinggui."
Zhao Tinggui took a look and saluted back. Although Li Xijun knew what was going on, he still looked at his sister and asked:
"My family is guarding the Yuehu Peak, but we still lack a direct descendant who can control the situation... Is Yuexiang interested in this?"
Li Yuexiang just smiled and said:
"I can finally make a contribution by staying at home in vain. Brother, please make arrangements."
Li Xijun introduced the two people to each other and smiled at Zhao Tinggui:
"The envoy, don't underestimate my girl. Yuexiang is not one of those weak girls in the boudoir. She should be able to help a lot when she goes to the north."
Zhao Tinggui quickly agreed. After listening to the arrangements of the two, Li Yuexiang said softly:
"I will go down and gather the people now."
She quickly Go down, Zhao Tinggui glanced at her back, sipped his tea, Li Xijun thought for a while, and said softly:
"Yuexiang is my younger sister, and we brothers love her very much. Please take care of her."
After all, Li Yuexiang's going there means that she has understood, and the Li family will certainly help. Li Xijun never wants this person to treat Li Yuexiang as a pawn, and has some warnings:
"I will leave my younger sister to you!"
Zhao Tinggui only said:
"Xijun, don't worry... Tinggui is definitely not that kind of villain. If anything happens to Yuexiang, you can ask me."
"Okay, then please ask the envoy to go down together, and follow me to select people from the clan."
Zhao Tinggui nodded and left, leaving Li Xijun sitting in the hall. He pondered for a moment, filled the teacup in front of him, and said softly:
"Zhao Tinggui is still single and only thirty-nine years old... It seems that the Ning family has asked about marriage several times, but he has always refused because of his cultivation."
He definitely did not believe that Zhao Tinggui's glance was seduced by beauty, nor did he believe that this young and skilled architect who came from a humble family to board the Ning family's ship and stepped up to the position of the leader of Yuehu Peak with his talent and perseverance. The fact that Brother Ji would linger on beauty in front of him was nothing more than a hint.
'He needs background, intelligence, appearance and talent...his girl is indeed a good match for him...'
A hint of coldness flashed across his handsome eyebrows, recalling Zhao Tinggui's hint, and thought to himself:
"Killing mountains and shaking tigers, advancing and retreating in a measured manner, so that killing three birds with one stone, both public and private, is indeed a person, but everything depends on what Yuexiang thinks. After getting along with her for a long time, you can see her face clearly... I have a sense of proportion."
…
The news about the Immortal Sect had spread earlier, and the news had also been received within the Li family. Now that the cloud boat has arrived and several prominent family leaders have descended from the mountain, the news has become clear.
Li Yuexiang went down the mountain to meet Li Chengliao. He was very busy when the aunt came down in the wind and hurriedly came to greet him.
"In the early stage of Qi training, there are nineteen monks, but we still need to practice upright Qi. It can't be too bad..."
Li Chengliao read it over. Even if he filled in all his surnames, several of his brothers would still have to go out. Not to mention leaving some people for prominent families. If there were not many people sent with the surname Li, I'm afraid Zhao Ting would not return. Will not be satisfied.
"An Junyan, Li Wei, Chen Mufeng, Li Wen... these are enough for the late stage of Qi training..."
"Li Minggong, Li..."
He wrote the list, and Li Yuexiang read it over. The arrangement was very proper. An Siwei was retained by the An family, and his direct relatives also participated. She only asked:
"These people have been sent out, what fighting strength does the clan still have?"
"Elder Chen and others are all here... As for the Cheng Ming generation, I'm afraid only Cheng Huai and Cheng who stayed in Donghai will go there. Most of the rest who have some cultivation will go there."
Li Yuexiang responded softly, nodded and replied:
"There's nothing wrong with your arrangement. Just ask people to come over."
Li Chengliao nodded and saw Li Yuexiang whisper:
"Let me see... the war in the north will not be easy. As time goes by, there will definitely be more troops. They will not stop until they hollow out all the families. You have to be optimistic about your family. You will have to send people there when the time comes."
Li Chengliao understood, took out a few storage bags, and replied:
"All the supplies and elixirs are prepared here, aunt, be careful."
The two were discussing, and everyone outside the hall came. Li Yuexiang just left the middle hall and saw Zhao Tinggui riding the wind.
Zhao Tinggui had just left Qingdu Mountain when he had an idea in his mind:
‘I’ve seen Li Xizhi before, but I thought he was elegant and unspeakably elegant. He was considered a direct descendant of an aristocratic family and I never talked to him. But this Li Xijun is really difficult to deal with. ’
Zhao Tinggui saw more people in the sect, and Yu Muxian also saw them. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart, and said to himself:
"Wangyue Lake is really beautiful. How many people have come out of it? Most of the ups and downs in the past hundred years have happened here."
When he came back to his senses and looked at the two of them, he was polite and said only:
"I've met Taoist friends."
Li Yuexiang responded respectfully. Zhao Tinggui immediately looked at everyone below, pointed out a few people to change out, brought in new ones, checked twice, and asked:
"There are very few nobles who practice wood and earth, but there are a few thunder cultivators."
He smiled and said without waiting for the two to answer:
"It doesn't matter. I have two junior brothers who are both wood and earth. They can make up for it, but Lei Xiu is rare."
Li Yuexiang smiled slightly, and Zhao Tinggui said no more, only saying softly:
"Then it's settled. Give me the list and get on the boat within two hours."
"Please also allow the children of the clan to say goodbye to their families..."
Li Yuexiang turned around and looked at the people below. Most of them had complex expressions, and some were eager to try. Li Yuexiang said:
"Going here is a matter of life and death, and it is also an opportunity. Everyone, say goodbye to your loved ones, and head to the cloud boat in Milin County for an hour."
Everyone responded with a roar and dispersed. Li Yuexiang also went to the peak to worship his parents and say goodbye to his brother. Li Xijun only took out a few talismans and gave them to her, saying softly:
"Whenever you consider your own safety first, I have said hello to Zhao Tinggui and he will protect you."
Zhao Tinggui made a gesture of invitation, and Li Yuexiang said goodbye to his brother and went to Yunzhou with him. There was already a lot of mourning and depression, and there were not many good faces in the huge Yunzhou.
Yuehu Peak is polite to the Li family, but it directly arrests people from these small clans. After all, if these families go round and round and ask questions one by one, they may not be able to bring them all by tomorrow. How can there be so many people on the ship.
There was a lot of weeping at the moment. These people's skills were rudimentary. The old people together could not even get three spells together. Going to the north would almost lead to death from hard work.
As for what treasures can be obtained by killing enemies, let’s not talk about whether you can kill enemies or whether you can obtain treasures by killing enemies. Even if you take something, you don’t know how much you can keep. You can only place your hope on Yuehu Peak’s behavior.
Zhao Tinggui obviously saw it clearly and deliberately said:
"Fellow Taoists, if you go to Xu Country this time, it is different from Jiangnan. Don't feel depressed... Now Xu Country is no better than other places. Opportunities are everywhere..."
After all, he is the person with the highest status here. As soon as he spoke like this, everyone immediately looked over and saw him smiling:
"Xu State is originally a place of disputes. There are countless spiritual caves, and the spiritual atmosphere is chaotic. The three paths of demons, Buddhists, and immortals are in dispute. The general trends of the various factions collide. There is also chaos in Taixu. Within a day, there are several kinds of The spiritual atmosphere changes in turns, triggering countless opportunities..."
"This place is now invisible to the Zi Mansion and cannot be calculated by Maha. Visions are everywhere, the mouth of the cave is opening or closing, and ancient ruins are undoubtedly revealed... The rain falling from the sky is all jade, and the ground is full of gold and stone... Lu The water ripples.”
Zhao Tinggui talked for a while, and everyone's expressions obviously changed, showing some greed, and he smiled and said:
"Everyone is here, why are you still in the doldrums? It's better to work hard and fight for a chance of survival. Maybe in a year's time, you can come back and build the foundation of the Purple Mansion!"
Li Yuexiang shook his head secretly. To say that there is still a slight possibility of building a foundation, but to build the Purple Mansion by going to Xu Kingdom is pure lies. However, many people below were moved by what they heard. These minor cultivators don't know what spiritual atmosphere is. He asked in a low voice, confused.
Zhao Tinggui listened to a few words and explained:
"The so-called spiritual atmosphere is the spiritual direction of a place. The boundary may be large or small, and it often matches a certain golden symbol, which will communicate with the relevant caves or opportunities. The more chaotic the place, the smaller the scope, the more it changes..."
"Just like when water descends and thunder rises, it will be easier to communicate with a certain thunder method in the cave. Xu State is now changing three times a day, with nine categories in one place. Naturally, there are many opportunities."
Everyone heard a commotion and started talking to each other, some even asking about the nature of gold. Zhao Tinggui felt that the explanation would be endless, and everyone's atmosphere became better, so he kept silent.
Li Yuexiang looked at them for a while, but there were a few young men whose talents and cultivation were passable. Their eyes were bright and full of expectation.
"The weather is changing, and everyone is looking forward to the dragon and snake landing..."
Not to mention these young people, although everyone present was sad, who didn't have any hope in their hearts? They all hope that they may be the protagonists of this era.
Opportunities and crises coexist in Bian Yanshan. Who knows what magical artifacts and spiritual elixirs will be picked up?
She waited for a while, her family members gradually arrived, the cloud boat began to move slowly, and Qingdu Mountain disappeared from sight.
Soon the scenery began to flow under his feet, with yellow sand villages, huge boulders, white bones filling the fields, and the Dharma shining brightly. Li Yuexiang waited until the river emerged under his feet, and then he felt like leaving home.
Sure enough, as Zhao Tinggui said, the world became foggy. The fog in the east was shining with golden light, as if it was the scorching sun, but the fog in the south was heavier, as if it was so gloomy that the boundary could not be seen.
"My brothers all want to pamper me, and there is no room for me to interfere. Now I have a chance to contribute."
She didn't feel scared, but felt more at ease. She looked at the north quietly. It wasn't until Bianyan Mountain emerged that Li Yuexiang's expression became a little complicated:
"There should be a dragon temple on the mountain..."
The reputation of Zhenhui Temple is not obvious, and it has even turned into ruins now. In the hearts of the Li family, it is comparable to Southern Xinjiang. She vaguely saw the white mist in the ravine and stared at it for a long time.
