Chapter 341

"Your mentor is truly extraordinary!"

"Could you send a letter to Jixia Academy and invite your mentor to come to our Great Song?"

"I wish to meet this unparalleled genius!"

Zhao Xu was tempted!

He was indeed tempted!

To live two hundred years longer!

Who would not be willing!

Su Zhe, standing nearby, heard the Emperor's words.

He immediately understood the Emperor's intention.

He slowly said, "Your Majesty, Mr. Li is no ordinary person."

"Your subject is merely one among his many disciples!"

"I studied under Mr. Li for only three years!"

"Mr. Li would hardly travel tens of thousands of miles from Great Qin to our Great Song merely because of a letter from your humble servant!"

Hearing this, Zhao Xu nodded slightly and said, "I have misjudged the situation!"

"Indeed, what a legendary figure Mr. Li is!"

"How could he be invited by merely a letter!"

"Beloved Subject Su, I shall appoint you as a special envoy to personally travel to Jixia Academy in Great Qin and visit Mr. Li!"

"Even if you cannot persuade Mr. Li to return to Great Song, you must try to learn from him that Method of Borrowing Longevity from Heaven!"

"Beloved Subject Su, if you can accomplish this!"

"I shall promote you to the head of all civil officials in Great Song, granting you the power to govern Great Song!"

"No matter how rebellious your brother becomes in the future, I shall never demote or exile him!"

Upon hearing these two conditions from Zhao Xu,

Su Zhe was instantly stunned.

Good heavens!

The Emperor is truly going all out for the Method of Life Extension!

This greatly shocked Su Zhe!

Although the conditions were tempting!

Nevertheless, Su Zhe found himself in a great dilemma!

He knew that accomplishing this task would be extremely difficult!

What kind of person is Mr. Li? How could he possibly hand over that Method of Borrowing Longevity from Heaven so easily!

"Your subject..."

Su Zhe hesitated.

Zhao Xu waved his hand decisively and said, "It is settled!"

"Tomorrow, you shall depart with me!"

"I, along with Grand Secretary Huang, will travel to Northern Northern Shaolin Temple on Songshan to visit the Sweeping Monk!"

"You shall go to Great Qin!"

Zhao Xu's tone brooked no argument!

Leaving Su Zhe no room to object.

He could only bow deeply with hands clasped, saying, "Your subject obeys the imperial decree!"

Great Ming.

Outside Jubei City!

The two hundred thousand strong army of Great Qing had already been stationed outside Jubei City for over half a month!

The Great Qing army attacked the city every day!

Yet they still had not captured Jubei City!

This greatly displeased Kangxi, the Emperor of Great Qing!

He personally supervised the battles almost every day!

He even made a bold proclamation:

"Whoever first scales the walls of Jubei City!"

"Shall be rewarded with ten thousand gold!"

He had assumed that heavy rewards would surely bring forth brave men!

However, several days had passed!

Yet not a single soldier of Great Qing had managed to ascend the walls of Jubei City!

The defending general of Jubei City was far too experienced!

He simply refused to leave the city!

Maintaining only a strict defense!

No matter how the Qing army shouted insults!

He steadfastly refused to sally forth!

Kangxi had experienced several major battles in his life!

But this was the first time he had encountered a city so difficult to assault!

Today.

It is another day of besieging the city!

Kangxi sat as usual beneath the great central command tent, supervising the army!

At this moment.

A man dressed in luxurious clothing walked over with a smile on his face and said to Kangxi, "Your Majesty, come, the weather is hot; have some silver ear and lotus seed soup!"

Upon seeing that man, a faint smile spread across Kangxi's face.

"Xiao Xiao Guizi!"

"Only you are so meticulous and willing to think on behalf of Us!"

Xiao Xiao Guizi smiled and said, "That Xiao Xiao Guizi has reached this day is entirely due to Your Majesty's great grace!"

"Your Majesty is Xiao Xiao Guizi's lucky star; naturally, Xiao Xiao Guizi must serve Your Majesty well!"

Kangxi took the silver ear and lotus seed soup, drank it down in one breath, shook his head with a wry smile, and said, "Xiao Xiao Guizi, your skill in flattery has reached the peak of perfection!"

"Looking at you, We are reminded of the time when we first met!"

"In the blink of an eye, forty years have passed!"

"We have grown old!"

"Yet you remain as young as ever!"

"It seems you are the one blessed with good fortune!"

"That extraordinary person who taught you martial arts back then; I wonder where he is now!"

Xiao Xiao Guizi replied, "Your Majesty, this humble servant does not know!"

"Back then, this humble servant was ordered to visit Hanshan Temple to pay respects to the old Monk!"

"By chance, this humble servant encountered that extraordinary Master!"

"He taught this humble servant for only three days before vanishing without a trace."

"Since then, this humble servant has never seen His Reverence again!"

Hearing this, Kangxi nodded slightly.

At this moment.

Within the celestial dome, golden light blazed forth!

A vast aura immediately spread throughout the heavens!

Kangxi immediately looked up.

"Is the top rank of the Divine and Demonic List about to appear?"

"What!"

"The top rank of the Divine and Demonic List is actually one of Li Li Changsheng's avatars!"
