Chapter 100: Prince of Qinghe (Thanks to the alliance leader

Luodu, Prince of Qinghe's Mansion, in a small pavilion in the back garden.

"Your Highness, it has been confirmed with the River God; the Marquis of Lord Lieyang has really left." Li Dan, the Lacquer Garden Official, sighed.

The Prince of Qinghe is a handsome middle-aged man of about forty, with sword-like eyebrows entering his temples, eyes like lacquer dots, and three wisps of short beard on his chin, dark and shiny, trimmed very beautifully.

At this time, he was wearing a purple long gown, walking calmly, with an extraordinary bearing.

"If he leaves, he leaves; can we force him to stay?"

The Prince carried his hands behind his back, looking far at the egrets playing in the lake, his voice faint.

"But the riots in the thirty-six countries have not subsided, and even the Great Qin imperial envoy hasn't arrived; how can he leave? Just now, the Great Shu's inherited treasure was stolen by thieves again; he should stay in Luodu to stabilize the situation!" Li Dan said excitedly.

The Prince of Qinghe said helplessly: "The Marquis of Lord Lieyang has too many reasons to stay for a while longer, but the Human Emperor has passed away."

"Your humble servant knows that the Human Emperor's passing is a matter of the sky collapsing, but the Marquis of Lord Lieyang is in such a hurry to rush back; what's the use?" Li Dan said.

"You think 'a matter of the sky collapsing' is just describing the impact of the Human Emperor's passing? The sky will truly collapse."

The Prince of Qinghe turned around, his expression complex: "Not to mention the reactions of the eight-party vassal states, just within Great Qin, more than a dozen riots have broken out at this time.

The Marquis of Lord Lieyang is not only in a hurry to go back himself, but the nobles in the Great Qin court are also urging him to go back.

Think about it, why did the imperial envoy from the Upper State, who should have crossed the west long ago, suddenly postpone the time by two months?

Not only have the thirty-six countries in the Western Sand Region been in chaos, but the Eastern Sand Region is also in chaos, and they also need the Upper State imperial envoy to stabilize the overall situation."

Li Dan was horrified, "The Human Emperor has just passed away, and the situation has collapsed to this point?"

"How great the Human Emperor's governance was, the chaos after his passing is just as great." The Prince of Qinghe said.

Li Dan muttered: "Emperor Qin Zheng unified the Central Plains, and the ten thousand vassal states of the eight directions honored him as the Human Emperor; the Great Qin territory is spread across the four major continents.

Everywhere on earth where there are people, they praise the name of the Human Emperor and admire the greatness of Great Qin.

Since the Middle Ages, there has been almost no overlord who can compare with the Human Emperor Zheng...

But Great Qin has imperial princes and a crown prince!

Crown Prince Fusu, his virtuous name is widely spread, and all the vassals in the world are submissive; who dares to rebel?"

The Prince of Qinghe said: "If Crown Prince Fusu could ascend the throne immediately, the Marquis of Lord Lieyang probably wouldn't be in such a hurry to go back."

"I heard that the Great Qin court is currently governed by the Human Emperor's birth mother, Empress Dowager Zhao?" Li Dan said.

The Prince of Qinghe nodded: "When the Human Emperor passed away, Crown Prince Fusu was accompanying General Meng to the Northern Sea to suppress the 'Xiongnu tribe rebellion'."

"And now? The Human Emperor has passed away; the Crown Prince should be returning to the capital, right?" Li Dan said.

The Prince of Qinghe shook his head lightly and said: "Things are not that simple. First of all, the Xiongnu tribe has the support of the demon race; it's not a scabies disease, but a heart-and-belly disease.

The northern defense line must be stabilized, otherwise, if the Xiongnu go south, the entire Central Plains will be in danger of being destroyed.

Especially now that the world is in chaos, the Northern Club Continent can be in chaos, but the war cannot be allowed to spread to the hinterland of the Central Plains.

In addition, the performance of the Great Qin courtiers also makes me a bit confused.

Actually, not everyone supports Prince Fusu's succession, and there are even quite a few who oppose Prince Fusu.

The Human Emperor didn't leave a clear edict... Sigh, whether there is an edict or not, those nobles from the Upper State are still arguing."

Li Dan had a sense of disillusionment where his ideals were severely broken by reality, and he muttered: "That is the Heavenly Upper State; the nobles in the Upper State court are actually the same as us, fighting for power and profit, ignoring the national righteousness..."

"The Upper State is not the Western Pure Land; how could there be no power struggle? Even on Mount Lingshan, I heard that the Buddhas are currently fighting for the top position!" The Prince of Qinghe said.

Although he said so, the Prince himself was also very shocked by the information received from Mount Wan Shou.

He wasn't shocked by the infighting of the Upper State nobles, but shocked that they were still infighting at such a time; it was too disregardful of the overall situation.

Li Dan spent a lot of effort to calm down from the blow that "the scholars of the Upper State are not all gentlemen."

"Your Highness, Great Qin is too far away from us; we can only bless from afar. Now that the Marquis of Lord Lieyang has left without a word, what should we do?"

"Do what should be done; the chaos of the thirty-six countries is for the current monarchs of each country to have a headache, the Thousand-Hand Qianshou Dao Sheng..."

The Prince of Qinghe frowned and pondered for a moment, then said: "What does the General Guan family of Yingxiang say?"

"The General Guan family is also a mess now." Li Dan smiled bitterly: "General Guan General Guan Wenlong was beaten with eighty military sticks by the Marquis of Lord Lieyang; if it weren't for the divine physician Min's superb medical skills, his seventh day after death would have passed by now.

Even with the timely rescue of the divine physician Min, General Guan General Guan Wenlong's two legs are ruined.

Outsiders all think that General Guan General Guan Wenlong accidentally violated the military regulations of the Fire Crow Army, and the Marquis of Lord Lieyang's military law is strict and merciless.

But the First Madam must understand that her husband's situation is related to the Second Madam, Wen Wen Danxia.

Then the first and second houses of the General Guan family started to make a scene.

General Guan General Guan Huchen doesn't know if he heard it from the First Madam or saw it himself with the Thousand-Mile Eye; in short, he learned about the affair between his wife and his elder brother, stabbed Madam Wen with a knife, and was slashed seven or eight times by Madam Wen himself, lying back on the bed.

Now he is shouting to divorce his wife!

I guess he can't divorce her; the old matriarch of the Wen family is still very healthy!"

The Prince of Qinghe waved his hand with disgust and said: "I don't care about the General Guan family's rotten business; I just want to know where the Thousand-Hand Qianshou Dao Sheng is hiding now."

"The General Guan family is in a mess and has no energy to deal with other things. When I went to the General Guan family, General Guan General Guan Huchen and General Guan General Guan Wenlong were lying on the bed groaning; they didn't know about the Thousand-Hand Qianshou Dao Sheng at all." Li Dan said.

"I didn't count on those two brothers; I'm asking what the Guan Chenghuang General Guan says." The Prince of Qinghe said.

"General Chen Taiping burned a memorial in the Guan Chenghuang Temple at the first opportunity, but there has been no response yet. So I went to the General Guan family, and General Guan General Guan Huchen promised to inform Your Highness as soon as there is news."

After a pause, Li Dan added: "I guess there won't be good news from the Guan Chenghuang General Guan; it's been several days.

Zong Zong Erbu is not a fool. If he didn't have a certain degree of certainty, he wouldn't have fled to Heavenly Gate Town.

The power of ghosts and gods is indeed powerful, but there are many strange people and strange arts in the world, and ghosts and gods cannot monitor everything."

The Prince of Qinghe said: "I know what you said. Not to mention whether they can, just say whether they dare.

'Immortals' are separated from humans; ghosts and gods dare to manage humans but fear the power of 'immortals.'

But the 'Five Thunders Eight Trigrams Zhang Tianshi Talisman' is of great importance.

Even if the Guan Chenghuang General Guan is afraid of the 'Western Eight Immortals' retaliation and doesn't want to get involved in the muddy water, it's not up to him."

"If he insists on pushing it away and says he doesn't know, what should we do?" Li Dan said.

The Prince of Qinghe said lightly: "Let the monarch, in the name of comforting the meritorious officials, bring the whole family of the General Guan family in Yingxiang Mansion to Luodu, and then invite the imperial physicians to treat General Guan General Guan Huchen and General Guan General Guan Wenlong's injuries."

Li Dan thought thoughtfully, "This is a 'toast'."

"Toast" is not good wine either.

The main function of the Five Thunders Eight Trigrams Zhang Tianshi Talisman is to protect Luodu from being invaded by great demons.

Bringing the General Guan family to Luodu, bestowing great favor, also means they will bear the risk of demon disaster together.

"Your Highness, do you still remember the sand barbarian Yu?" Li Dan asked.

"What's wrong with her?"

Li Dan said: "Liu San wants to know your thoughts. You put the sand barbarian Yu in the Red Sleeve Workshop because you couldn't figure out the Marquis of Lord Lieyang's attitude; now the Marquis of Lord Lieyang has left..."

His expression became very conflicted, "To say the Marquis of Lord Lieyang doesn't care about the sand barbarian Yu, he turned around and found a reason, almost beating General Guan General Guan Wenlong to death.

To say he cares about her a little, he left cleanly and neatly; before leaving, he took a dozen Western generals, didn't take her, and didn't even look at her."

The Prince of Qinghe pondered: "I didn't quite understand before, so I arranged the sand barbarian Yu in the Red Sleeve Workshop to see the Marquis of Lord Lieyang's reaction.

Now I probably understand a little.

The key is not the sand barbarian Yu, but the Marquis of Lord Lieyang himself.

If you don't provoke him, he handles official business; if you provoke him, he handles private business.

General Guan General Guan Huchen plotted against him and scolded him behind his back, so he was beaten to death.

General Guan General Guan Wenlong took the initiative to welcome the Fire Crow Army at the Liulin Ferry, also having the intention of plotting against the Marquis of Lord Lieyang.

Regardless of whether the Marquis of Lord Lieyang deliberately made a name for the sand barbarian Yu and used her as a target.

General Guan General Guan Wenlong's intention to transfer the Fire Crow Army away from the sand barbarian Yu is true.

The General Guan family considered that the Fire Crow Army used the sand barbarian Yu as a target, and also considered the help of the sand barbarian Yu beheading Kong Zan and abolishing Zhou Lang to the Marquis of Lord Lieyang.

But they were still clever, thinking that the status of 'Shu Kingdom Welcoming Minister' could make the Marquis of Lord Lieyang have some scruples.

Sigh, General Guan General Guan Huchen is fine; he didn't know Gao Gao Xianjue was a Shunfeng Ear.

But General Guan General Guan Wenlong has always been known for his calmness and intelligence; how could he repeat his brother's mistakes?"

Li Dan smiled: "Madam Wen brought her daughter to the door; General Guan General Guan Wenlong knew it was inappropriate, but he had to bite the bullet!

Otherwise, what else could he do?

Moreover, he is within the territory of Yingxiang Mansion, with the Guan Chenghuang General Guan helping to cover the bottom!"

I'm just puzzled why the Guan Chenghuang General Guan didn't take action to help this time, letting General Guan Wenlong be crippled."

The Prince of Qinghe said lightly: "The world thinks General Guan General Guan Huchen survived by luck, relying on Hua Nan Wuxiang.

They never thought that the Guan Chenghuang General Guan would dare to violate the heavenly law and use public instruments for private use.

People don't know, and gods don't pursue it.

General Guan General Guan Wenlong was sent to the Baoan Hall in public, and the diagnosis result of the divine physician Min is known to everyone.

Besides, General Guan General Guan Wenlong only lost two legs.

Why would the old ghost General Guan risk losing his 'Guan Chenghuang's official hat'?

That old ghost is cautious all his life.

General Guan General Guan Wenlong is different from General Guan General Guan Huchen; even if he really lost his life, he probably wouldn't intervene."

"Sigh, General Guan General Guan Wenlong is stupid; it's just a pity for the sand barbarian Yu." Li Dan sighed.

"If General Guan General Guan Wenlong weren't stupid, it wouldn't be our turn to feel sorry for her. It can only be said that everything is fate."

The Prince of Qinghe sighed: "Sending her to the Ministry of Rites in the first place was because I couldn't figure out the Marquis of Lord Lieyang's thoughts and had to take the hot potato thrown by the General Guan family.

It just so happened that Yan Yan Feiying sent another hot potato, Dou Dou Gengyan.

Might as well put them together, it's easier to attract the people behind the 'Western Eight Immortals.'

The Marquis of Lord Lieyang is in Heavenly Gate Town; if he has the intention to use the sand barbarian Yu as a target, it just happens to be what he wants.

Moreover, according to Shu Kingdom law, sending the daughter of an enemy country to the Ministry of Rites is a convention.

Even if I guessed the Marquis of Lord Lieyang's thoughts wrong, there is still room for maneuver.

Now that the Marquis of Lord Lieyang has left, entering the Ministry of Rites has become a fact..."

He changed the subject and asked curiously: "What is the situation with the sand barbarian Yu now? How is the recovery of her shattered bone injury?"

"Sent to the Red Sleeve Workshop and slept for a few days; after waking up, she could run and jump immediately. That same day, she demonstrated the 'Tiger Soul Sword Intent' in front of a group of Jiang Hu guests, shocking everyone.

That night, under the guidance of Dou Dou Gengyan, she practiced the 'Long Spring Internal Breath,' which is the internal breath method of the 'Male Dragon Skill.'

Now she practices internal qi in the pool every night.

Because the divine physician Min helped integrate the sword bone spirit machine into her physique, her strength has been growing very fast recently.

Yesterday at 'Never Return,' she used her toes to clamp a tree branch and knocked away Lan Lan Ruomei's Purple Lightning Twin Swords; it was simply unimaginable..."

Li Dan focused on telling the process of Xiao Yu and Lan Lan Ruomei's sword sparring yesterday.

Afterward, he emphasized: "Old Du of 'Never Return' was not joking with Liu San.

Lei Zhen of the Heavenly Gate Society tried to break through to a human immortal by force and failed; his true qi reversed, his meridians shattered, and he probably doesn't have a few months to live.

Lei Zhen naturally hopes his son Lei General Guan Tianyang can inherit the position of society leader.

Lei General Guan Tianyang is Liu San's illegitimate son, so her position cannot be changed.

But Old Du of 'Never Return' secretly defected to 'Poison Hand Yama' Hao Song Ruhai.

Last year, on your birthday, Hao Song Ruhai sent a five-hundred-year-old lingzhi, and you even had a drink with him..."

Li Dan looked at the Prince carefully; seeing that he was expressionless and his eyes didn't even flash, he lowered his head and continued: "Besides Hao Song Ruhai, several other rudder masters of the Heavenly Gate Society, such as 'Four Seasons Sword' Zhang Manqing, 'White Bone Whip' Hai Wei, and 'Ground-Drilling Mouse' Bai Tiansheng, all have ideas about the position of society leader.

After all, becoming the leader of the Heavenly Gate Society not only brings fame and fortune, but it also represents an 'Immortal Fate'."

"According to the old rules, let those rudder masters fight among themselves, either by wit or by force, and the strongest will serve as the sect leader.

But from beginning to end, it cannot affect my business, let alone the stability of Heavenly Gate Town." The Prince of Qinghe said lightly.

"This is of course; no one dares to break the rules. Even if there is infighting, it is done privately among several rudder masters." Li Dan said immediately.

The Prince of Qinghe smiled slightly, "I thought the sand barbarian Yu was completely ruined; I didn't expect her to stand up again so quickly, and she doesn't seem very depressed, still advancing bravely."

"The divine physician Min personally took care of her for three days and three nights! He tried his best to help her absorb the sword bone spirit machine into her physique, so the 'internal breath' in her bloodline is particularly abundant, and now internal strength cultivation is particularly easy." Li Dan explained.

The Prince of Qinghe laughed: "It's easy to recover the body, but it's very difficult to have an unyielding will!"

"Then what is Your Highness's meaning..."

"Look at her future achievements; if she can become the second 'Five Absolutes Sword Lady,' what does it matter if I bestow her the surname 'Li' and adopt her as a foster daughter! If not... Heh, I am very busy."

The Prince of Qinghe is busy with ten thousand things every day; if she can't reach the level of the "Five Absolutes Sword Lady," she is not worth his time and effort to pay attention to.

Li Dan nodded, not surprised by the Prince's decision.

"Should Generals Li Hu and Li Bao continue to stay in the Red Sleeve Workshop, waiting for the big fish to take the bait, or should they be withdrawn?"

The Prince of Qinghe smiled bitterly: "Hu and Bao are only good at sneaking and tracking; they haven't even touched the threshold of a human immortal.

If a big fish really comes, it will just be the big fish eating the shrimp."

If the Fire Crow Army were still in Heavenly Gate Town, the Hu and Bao brothers would only need to contain them slightly, and the big fish could be handed over to the Marquis of Lord Lieyang.

Now the Marquis of Lord Lieyang has left...

"Although the Marquis of Lord Lieyang has left, General Chen Taiping and five thousand Imperial Guards are in Heavenly Gate Town." Li Dan said.

The Prince of Qinghe hesitated: "The Imperial Guards were formed in the last few months by selecting elites from various counties and counties in the south; their combat power... forget it, if Chen Taiping is lost, it's not worth it."

"What about the sand barbarian Yu?" Li Dan said.

The Prince of Qinghe said: "I have an agreement with General Guan General Guan Wenlong. The imperial court can take over the sand barbarian Yu, but the General Guan family, mainly the Guan Chenghuang General Guan, must take part of the responsibility for watching over the sand barbarian Yu.

Being able to behead Kong Zan and abolish the sword immortal Zhou Lang is certainly lucky, and there is also the reason of the three thousand Fire Crow Army formation power blessing.

But Kong Zan and Zhou Lang are both the top human immortals in the West, and most human immortals are not as good as them.

If the sand barbarian Yu wants to escape from the Shu Kingdom, ordinary martial artists may not be able to stop her.

I don't want to waste too much manpower and material resources on her.

So I put the sand barbarian Yu in Heavenly Gate Town, not Luodu."

Li Dan was stunned first, then asked: "After withdrawing Li Hu and Li Bao, if the Western Eight Immortals retaliate against the sand barbarian Yu, will the Guan Chenghuang General Guan take action? And Dou Dou Gengyan, you know her talent."

"If the old ghost General Guan were willing to fight against the Western Eight Immortals, the General Guan family wouldn't be so impatient to throw away 'General Guan Yu.' His responsibility is only to ensure that the sand barbarian Yu stays within the territory of the Shu Kingdom for ten years."

The Prince of Qinghe glanced back at the Lacquer Garden Official and added: "I didn't say to withdraw Hu and Bao.

All I care about is Chen Taiping.

General Chen is a rare immortal general who is absolutely loyal to our Great Shu royal family.

It's not worth it to be lost in the hands of the Western Eight Immortals.

Hu and Bao will be stationed in the Red Sleeve Workshop from now on.

Let them act according to circumstances.

If there is a change, send a message out first, summon the Heavenly Gate Town garrison and the masters of various gangs, and surround and kill the invading enemy together.

Well, you go and greet the several human immortals in Heavenly Gate Town.

Use my favor to ask them to take action and help out when the time comes; if it works, it works, no need for them to risk their lives." ===== CHAPTER 101 =====
