Chapter 19 Li Daitao is stiff "Which princess?" "Of course it's Her Royal Highness Princess Miao Xuan!" "Are you serious? Don't talk nonsense about this." "How dare I say such a thing? This is what Tongze, who came here to change guard today, said. If it was said by other princesses, it would be fine, but no one would dare to spread rumors about Her Highness the Princess even if they had nine heads." As everyone knows, after Li Haotian, the emperor of the Daqian Dynasty, ascended the throne, he was seriously injured and had a hidden illness. He had only one daughter, and all his other children were adopted. Princess Li Miaoxuan has been a disciple of Lingxu Sect, the head of the Daqian sect, since she was young. She is a gifted person with great potential and has the potential to become a master. Many people speculate that she may become the first empress of the Daqian Dynasty. And now she is going to get married! "Do you know which noble person has this blessing?" "It is said that they are from the side branch of the Li family of the Daqian clan, and their ancestors six generations ago were also princes." Gu Yuanqing stopped listening after that. Li Miaoxuan's wedding had disturbed his mind. "She... is getting married?"
Gu Yuanqing was stunned and dazed. After physical intimacy, a day of living together, and all the favors he received, it was inevitable that he felt a little sad when he heard the news. "However, she is obsessed with the pursuit of immortality, and she once said that after I become a master, I will go to Lingxu Gate to find her. How come the news of her wedding came in just one day?" Gu Yuanqing couldn't figure it out, and suddenly he had an idea to go to Kyoto to find out. But then he thought again, not to mention whether his own cultivation level could support him to go down the mountain and break into the palace to see Li Miaoxuan, what qualifications did he have to ask? Could it be that it was just because the two of them had a one-night stand? He took a deep breath, calming his mind and letting his thoughts not be affected by his emotions. "Li Miaoxuan is a master. If she doesn't want to, who can force her? There must be something I don't know. Besides, how much connection do he have with me? It's just a mixture of guilt, admiration and favor." As the sun rose little by little, Gu Yuanqing put aside all distracting thoughts and immersed himself in viewing the mountains. …… Daqian Palace. The back garden and the lobby of the house where Li Miaoxuan once lived. The Emperor of Daqian, Li Haotian, sat at the top, while Xu Lianying and a wet nurse holding a three-month-old baby stood beside him. A woman who looked 70% like Li Miaoxuan was kneeling in the hall. She was wearing palace clothes and gold ornaments on her head. She lowered her head and did not dare to look up. "Remember, you will be called Li Miaoxuan from now on. You are the eldest princess of our Daqian Dynasty. You have been practicing in Lingxu Sect since childhood. This time you returned to Beijing, you failed to break through the realm and your foundation was damaged." Li Haotian said in a deep voice. "The servant knows." "You should call yourself a son." "My son understands." "Ten months later you will give birth to a son, and it will be him!" Li Haotian pointed at the baby in the wet nurse's arms. The woman looked up at the child, then quickly lowered her head: "I...I understand." "You must keep this secret strictly for your entire life. If the secret is leaked one day, not only you, but also your parents, your clan members, and everyone related to you will be killed without a burial place!" The woman trembled all over and knocked her head to the ground: "I will keep this matter strictly confidential and will never reveal a word."
Li Haotian nodded slightly, stood up and said calmly: "My dear companion, I'll leave the rest to you. This matter concerns the reputation of our Daqian and cannot afford to make any mistakes." "Your Majesty, don't worry, this matter will be foolproof, but I'm afraid that Prince Qing will need Your Majesty's personal instructions." A two-story courtyard on Huangchao East Street was bustling with guests. "Brother Li, congratulations. From now on, I have to call you Prince Consort." "This consort is not just an ordinary consort, but one personally chosen by His Majesty. His Majesty has only one biological daughter, Princess Miaoxuan. Maybe she will be honored to be crowned as the Empress in the future. At that time, Brother Li, you will be second to none!" Li Kangwen was drunk and never dreamed that such a good thing would happen to him. That was Princess Miaoxuan, a favored child of heaven. He was only a royal family member outside the fifth degree of mourning of the Li family. He said with a smile on his face, "No, no, it's just that your majesty favors you." …… At the foot of Beiquan Mountain. Chen Chuanshan stared at the mountain in a daze. He had been guarding this place for a long time, but today he suddenly felt a little unfamiliar with Beiquan Mountain. But when he looked carefully, the mountain was still the same mountain. Perhaps the only change is that the trees in the mountains feel more lush and the leaves are greener than in previous years. While he was thinking, one of his lieutenants came rushing over, knelt on one knee and clasped his fists, saying, "General, something has happened. Demonic energy has seeped out of the cave. Three of the soldiers guarding the scene have died, and two have been possessed by demonic energy and have lost their minds and gone mad." "What?" Chen Chuanshan's expression suddenly became solemn. The leakage of demonic energy meant that there was a problem with the seal. If the seal was completely broken and the passage to the demonic realm was opened, all living creatures within a radius of hundreds of miles would become food for the demons. The most important thing is that this place is only six hundred miles away from the royal capital! He didn't bother to say anything more and quickly moved towards the cave using his physical skills. On the top of the mountain, Gu Yuanqing did not notice the movement below the mountain. At this time, he was immersed in the trial of Lingshan. Today, he seemed to have turned into a fighting demon. Whenever he regained his composure, he would enter into the battle. In just one day, he fought with at least twenty people. The Seven Swords of the Big Dipper, the Wind and Rain Sword Technique, the Returning Wind and Blowing Snow Sword Technique, etc., almost every sword technique has been fought against each other. These battles allowed him to rapidly increase his experience and constantly improve his swordsmanship. With his unparalleled understanding and extraordinary talent for swordsmanship, every sword and every move used by his opponent became nourishment for his growth. By the evening, he could already suppress the sixth level Zhenwu and could fight with the seventh level Zhenwu for more than ten moves. When he emerged from the Lingshan Trial again, when Gu Yuanqing held the Kunwu Sword in his hand, he immediately felt the difference from yesterday. With just a few gentle dances, the Kunwu Sword seemed no longer to be a sword, but an extension of his arm. It was a mysterious feeling of swordsmanship. The middle-aged woman brought the food. When Gu Yuanqing was eating alone, he suddenly recalled the woman who sat opposite him the day before. After a moment of silence, he picked up the wine jar beside him, poured a large bowl of wine, and drank it. After having a full meal and drinking a few drinks, Gu Yuanqing took a short rest, then took out the Kunwu Sword and started practicing swordplay in the courtyard. Only in this way could he stop thinking about other things. Under the moonlight, sword shadows flickered, and gusts of wind were stirred up, making the trees in the courtyard rustle. Suddenly, Gu Yuanqing's body movements and swordsmanship changed. He was in front and behind suddenly, and he integrated the Great Yi Huantian Step into it. After finishing a set of sword skills, Gu Yuanqing stood in the courtyard holding a long sword. All the insights from today's battle were integrated into his heart, turning into strands of sword intent that continued to gather. The sword intent that was originally only in its embryonic form grew wildly under the nourishment. Finally, as if breaking through the shackles, the sword energy soared into the sky! The birds were startled, the beasts were terrified, and even the chirping of insects in the mountains disappeared in an instant. The old man in the side yard suddenly turned around, his fear evident in his words! (End of this chapter)
