Chapter 471 Chaos arises
In less than a month, Liu Ping'an reached the level of a fifth-grade warrior. He was considered a master in the Daqian area. Coupled with his own spirit-refining method, no one could be his opponent unless he met a third-grade warrior.
However, this capital city of Daqian is full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers. Apart from other things, the imperial master who specially refines elixirs for the old emperor is a great man at the realm of immortal fusion. He is equivalent to a high-level warrior at the realm of second-grade supernatural power in martial arts.
Li Yue, the general of Daqian, is a warrior of the third-grade flesh and blood derivative realm. He is a new high-grade warrior of this era. He was the companion of Emperor Qianwen when he was a child. His ancestors were also the nobles who followed Taizu to conquer the world. However, they fell into decline in the meantime, from the highest rank of king to the status of viscount, and have been eating the minimum living allowance for hundreds of years. During this period, the family inheritance was almost cut off.
Although the title of Daqian was hereditary, it was also hereditary for the two groups of nobles who followed the emperor, Taizu and Emperor Wu. For titles obtained through other channels, if the descendants were not capable, they would be reduced from generation to generation until they were restored to civilian status.
Fortunately, during the reign of Emperor Wen, the Li family had a martial arts genius named Li Yue. At the age of 17, Li Yue had already reached the fifth-grade incarnation realm. However, his family had fallen to the lowest level of viscount, and the annual salary from the court was barely enough to support his family, let alone support him in practicing martial arts.
Helpless, he could only follow the path of the imperial court. Li Yue fought his way out of a group of nobles and won the position of companion to Emperor Qianwen, who was still the crown prince at that time. Later, with the support of the crown prince's massive resources, he made rapid progress in the martial arts.
Later, he broke through the third rank the year before Emperor Wen's father Wannian died, which consolidated Emperor Qianwen's position as the crown prince. The other princes, seeing that Li Yue had broken through the third rank, gave up the fight for the throne. Li Yue was the main reason why Emperor Qianwen was able to sit firmly on the throne.
After that, the Li family was married to the former Emperor Wen. When the Li family came to Li Yue's area, he was the only one, without a sister, otherwise he would be the imperial concubine of Emperor Qianwen.
However, the Li family didn't have any, but there were many blood relatives in the royal family! Li Yue's current wife was the younger sister of Emperor Qianwen from the same mother. She was 15 years younger than Li Yue. After Li Yue broke through to the third rank, the ancestor of the second rank of the royal martial arts came to talk about the marriage in person.
This second-rank warrior came to propose marriage in person, and brought the ancestor of Emperor Qianwen's mother's family with him. How could Li Yue, who had just broken through to the third rank, refuse? In addition, he had been obsessed with martial arts for many years and had not married. In the end, he did not refuse and agreed directly.
When Li Yue's father was alive, he often urged him to get married. Unfortunately, his family became prosperous again under his hands, but his father passed away early. He did not enjoy any of his own blessings.
However, the couple did not live happily after marriage. Since giving birth to a son and completing the continuation of the family bloodline, Li Yue has put all his thoughts on martial arts. At this moment, he has reached the third level of perfection. However, he does not know when he will break through to the second level.
Today, the court of Daqian, all the ministers gathered together for the first time. Since Emperor Qianwen started practicing Taoism, this morning court session has been a mere decoration. It is common for him not to attend court for several years.
Whenever the emperor and his ministers gathered together, something big was happening in Daqian. The increasing number of refugees outside Qianjing at this moment was proof that things were not simple.
After Emperor Qianwen finished his morning lessons, he sat on the dragon throne, which represented the supreme power of Daqian, surrounded by a group of eunuchs and with the expectant eyes of his ministers.
However, the next moment, it was the duck-like voice of the Emperor Qianwen's close companion, the chief eunuch Feng, who spoke: "If you have something to report, please report it. If not, please leave the court."
As soon as this sentence came out, the officials in the hall who had been fooled by reading books suddenly became angry and their faces flushed. They were filled with grief and indignation. They really wanted to die on the spot and advise Emperor Qianwen not to favor the alchemists and indulge in Taoism.
But when he thought of the cultivation level of the National Master at the second level of the fusion realm, he could easily summon a thunder spell to kill him. In the end, he held back his words of death.
At this time, an imperial censor from the civil service group stepped out and reported: "Your Majesty, at the end of last year, the leader of the Batu tribe outside the Youzhou Pass managed to break through to the third rank of martial arts. Not long ago, he invaded the border of Youzhou. Now he has taken nine passes in a row. Wherever he passed, nine out of ten houses were empty. Many people in Youzhou have fled south to the capital."
"Your Majesty, please send troops to recover the lost territory and comfort the victims."
"Well, let Censor Chen take care of comforting the victims outside the city."
"General Li, are you confident about the war in Youzhou?" After Emperor Qianwen finished explaining the matter to the disaster victims, he no longer looked at the censor who had just reported. The next thing was the war, and he, a scholar, could not help much.
"I am confident that I can recover the lost territory of Youzhou and drive the Batu tribe back to the grassland."
Li Yue did not dare to guarantee that he could kill the leader of the Batu tribe, but only said that he could recover the lost territory of Youzhou. Unless there were multiple third-grade warriors setting up a trap to besiege this third-grade warrior, or a higher-level second-grade warrior to intercept and kill him, otherwise, he would not be able to stop the opponent.
Li Yue, who is also a third-grade warrior, knows very well how difficult this third-grade warrior is. The passive ability of regenerating a broken limb is simply disgusting to the enemy.
If Batu had learned some magical powers to save his life or increase his speed, he would be even more difficult to kill.
The Daqian royal family now has a second-rank warrior, and he even came to get engaged. However, no one knows how long that old guy has lived. His energy and blood are declining, and he is in his twilight years. He has been living a miserable life these years.
If he attacked Batu, he would probably die of blood exhaustion. According to Li Yue's understanding, this guy cherished his life very much. He had been plotting how to break through the first level of martial arts for many years, and he even practiced the secrets of magic in private.
How could he possibly go with me to encircle and kill the new third-rank warrior from the grassland tribe?
As for why he didn't kill the fourth-grade warriors of the Batu tribe in advance? It's not that Daqian hadn't thought about it, but he really didn't dare. There are not many third-grade warriors in the world, but fourth-grade warriors are as numerous as cattle hair. Unlike cultivating immortals, which requires spiritual roots, anyone with martial arts skills has the opportunity to practice.
No one knows who will be the next to break through to the third level.
If the Daqian royal family dared to assassinate a warrior who might break through the third rank, it would be courting death and would make them the public enemy of all warriors in the world. Even the warriors in Daqian might take the opportunity to stab the royal family.
Liu Ping'an was not very clear about the changes in the situation in the Daqian court, nor did he want to know. Even if the world was in chaos, he could still travel back to seek refuge. At worst, he could just wait until the situation stabilized before coming back.
