Chapter 172 News from all sides, the attacking Emperor Shitian!
"Sir, news has come from Liaodong that the vanguard army led by Shan Wanjing crossed the sea to the east a month ago and successfully landed in Feizhou, Chikushi Island. Because the Japanese emperor conquered Xian Island, all the elites of the Japanese island were evacuated. After the vanguard army landed on the island, they easily occupied the entire Feizhou..."
In the attic flower hall, Ni Kun lay on the couch, listening to Zhu Yuyan's intelligence report with a comfortable look on his face .
He rested his head on Kankan's thigh and his feet in Bai Qing'er's arms. Wen Caiting knelt behind him and skillfully massaged his shoulders, neck and back.
Xiaoqing sat beside the soft couch and peeled a loquat for him. She peeled the skin cleanly and removed the core before feeding the soft, sweet flesh into his mouth.
Tsunade didn't do anything. She just sat there doing nothing, yawning with her hand covering her mouth from time to time, looking bored.
"Sir, in a month, Shan Meixian will lead her army to cross the sea and march east. She wrote a personal letter saying that this is her first time leading a large army and the expedition to Japan is of great importance. She is afraid that she will mess up the job and disappoint your expectations, so she is very nervous."
Ni Kun chuckled:
"Write her back and tell her to just go for it. It doesn't matter if she succeeds or fails, as long as she's OK."
Zhu Yuyan nodded slightly and said:
"She also said in the letter that if you have time, she would like you to go to Japan and give us instructions on the war."
Ni Kun shook his head:
"The Japanese emperor has emptied all the Japanese elites. Who on the Japanese island can stop her army? It's such a small matter, why do I need to go there in person?"
After a pause, he continued:
"Tell her that when she establishes a country and ascends the throne, I will take the time to go to the Japanese island in person to congratulate her and her daughter."
"Yes, sir."
"Any other information?"
"Li Jing's army won victory after victory, annihilating more than 30,000 Turkic cavalrymen in the west, and drove the remaining Turkic soldiers and civilians into Lingwu County City. Now, the remaining more than 200,000 Turkic soldiers and civilians have been trapped and killed in the county city."
"As expected. What about Taiyuan?"
Zhu Yuyan tells the story:
"In Taiyuan, the Li clan also fought two battles with the Eastern Turkic Army and gained some success.
“Although the Li family’s military is no longer afraid of the Turkic Eastern Route Army that has lost its foundation, the development of its territory has reached its limit.
"To the west is the Qin Empire, to the north is the Turks, to the east is Dou Jiande, to the south is the Sui court officers and soldiers led by Luoyang, and the Wagang Territory...
“The Li clan is now surrounded on all sides. Even though the Li clan has a slight advantage in the other three aspects except the Qin army, it will take a long time and suffer huge losses if it wants to completely defeat any of them.
"Once we fight with a certain force for a long time and suffer heavy losses, we will inevitably worry about other forces taking advantage of us.
"So the Li clan is now almost unable to move. Before I and my party left Jin, we had heard rumors that Li Yuan was interested in becoming a vassal of the Qin Emperor, on the condition that he be made the King of Jin, hereditary and permanent governor of Taiyuan, following the old practice of the Song clan in Lingnan."
"Prince Jin?" Ni Kun laughed dumbly: "How is this possible? The Emperor Qin will never agree to this condition."
After a pause, he said thoughtfully:
"Speaking of the Lingnan Song Clan...Song Que, the Heavenly Blade, seems to have disappeared from the martial arts world over the years. The people of the Song Clan don't seem to have come out to form alliances..."
In the original world line, the Song clan often sent out Song Lu, Song Zhi, Song Shidao, Song Yuzhi and others to contact potential princes from all sides , hoping to make their move in the battle for world domination.
However, in today's world, amidst all the strife in the world, the Song clan has almost no presence.
Apart from normal trading teams, there has never been any news of any important figure from the Song clan going out of the mountains.
This feels a bit strange.
Zhu Yuyan nodded and said:
"Indeed, seventeen years ago, Song Que sent out a call for heroes to gather in southern Xinjiang and wipe out the Moon Worship Sect. He has only been in the Tang Sect in Shuzhong, poisoning Jie Hui's entire family. He even poisoned his daughter Song Yuhua, who married into the Jie family, to death. Then, he went down the mountain in anger, entered Shu alone, and wiped out the Tang Sect. Since then, Song Que has never left Lingnan again.
"Not only has he disappeared from the martial arts world, even the important figures of the Song clan rarely come down the mountain."
Ni Kun scratched his chin with his fingers and asked:
"Yuyan, why do you think Song Que doesn't go out into the martial arts world? Not only does he not go out, but he also restricts his family from participating in worldly affairs?"
Zhu Yuyan pondered for a while and said:
" I think that Song Que was touched and changed some of his ideas when he was destroying the Moon Worship Sect."
Ni Kun thought about it and said with a smile:
"That makes sense. After experiencing the extermination of the Moon Worship Sect and witnessing the magical powers of the Moon Worship Sect leader, Yan Chixia and the other four sword immortals, with Song Que's character and talent, it would be difficult for him to have any interest in worldly affairs.
"By the way, have you heard any news about the Drunken Swordsman?"
Zhu Yuyan said:
“There are rumors among merchants from the South China Sea that some seafarers once saw a sword immortal controlling thousands of swords fighting a ferocious beast that emerged from the seabed.
“This rumor is often regarded as a joke, but I believe that the sword immortal who controls ten thousand swords is probably the Drunken Sword Immortal Yang Guang.
"As for the ferocious beast, the rumors are vague. Some say it is the legendary Kunpeng, some say it is the sea dragon, and some say it is the Chaos or Taotie. In short, no one can give a clear answer."
Ni Kun was somewhat interested in this news.
The Drunken Swordsman fights a giant beast in the South China Sea?
What on earth is this giant beast that emerged from the sea?
If you have time, you might go to the South China Sea to see the origins of the giant beast.
You can also stop by Songjiashan City and visit Tiandao Song Que, and ask him, the initiator and witness of the Moon Worship Cult war, for details about the eradication of the Moon Worship Cult.
After listening to Zhu Yuyan's news, Ni Kun lost interest and waved his hand:
"That's enough. Tsunade, it's time to play cards."
"Play cards?" Tsunade, who was about to fall asleep, stood up with a start, looking around at everyone with a sharp gaze: "Who wants to play with me? What kind of cards? How much do you want to bet?"
Ni Kun smiled and said:
"Everyone go play cards with Tsunade, I need to practice."
After everyone left, Ni Kun sat cross-legged on the couch and began to visualize the golden Buddha.
Half an hour later, Ni Kun, whose perception had become increasingly sharp since he had practiced the Amitabha Sutra, suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the screen in the corner of the hall:
"Xian'er, what are you doing sneakily?"
With a clear laugh, Kanan came out from behind the screen, walked gracefully in front of him, and gave him a playful smile:
"Tsunade taught us how to play Mahjong, but Mahjong only requires four people, and I happened to be an extra person. Since I had nothing to do, I tried on a new set of clothes that the young master bought, thinking that I would show it to him to see if it looked good on me."
Ni Kun looked her up and down and saw that she was still wearing her usual pure white dress, and she was not wearing the stockings he bought for her. Her delicate, crystal clear and tender feet were still bare. He couldn't help but wonder:
"So where do you wear your new clothes?"
Kanan smiled sweetly, and gently pulled the belt around her waist with her slender hands, causing her long skirt to slide down, revealing a black bikini underneath.
This is a swimsuit!
Ni Kun secretly laughed in his heart.
However, the crystal skin of Xianxian, set off by the black bikini, looked even whiter than snow, without a single flaw. Coupled with her increasingly perfect figure after practicing the human immortal martial arts, Ni Kun still stared at her intently and praised her in his heart.
With a smile on her lips, Wan Wan walked gracefully to Ni Kun, sat on his thighs, spread her arms, hugged his neck, put her red lips close to his ear, and whispered in a charming voice:
"Sir, during the days you were away, I often asked Uncle Wen and Sister Qing'er for advice, and my poetry and musical instrument skills have improved greatly. Even my leg skills have improved. Would you like to test me?"
Ni Kun smiled, put his arm around her slender waist, put his palm on her snow-white belly with elegant mermaid lines, and asked with a smile:
"Has the Heavenly Demonic Art ever broken through the eighteenth level?"
"Not really. It's still a little bit lacking." Kankan's voice became increasingly deep and seductive: "But before I tried on the new clothes, I just took a shower and cleaned them inside and out."
"That's great!" Ni Kun smiled slightly, carried her to the couch, and began to test her.
Dianke Office.
In the banquet hall.
Zhao Min, dressed in men's clothes, full of heroic spirit and incomparably beautiful, was urging Li Xiuning to drink, and her words were quite affectionate.
Li Xiuning had a lot of admiration and curiosity for Zhao Min, who was the right-hand man of the Qin Emperor when he started his career and was now a female high-ranking official among the Nine Ministers. Intent on making friends with her, she drank and chatted with her and gradually became familiar with her. During their conversations, she did not lie or pretend so much.
"Zhao Neishi..."
"Call me Minmin. I'm originally from the Western Regions, and I have a name called Minmin Temur."
"Sister Minmin, you already know the purpose of my trip. I wonder if His Majesty will approve my father's request?"
"To be honest, it is very difficult, almost impossible. Your Majesty wants to unify the world, how can you allow a country within a country to exist? Moreover, the territory your family wants is the Jin land with mountains and rivers both inside and outside."
"But the Lingnan Song clan..."
"The Song clan in Lingnan is a legacy of the Sui Dynasty. Moreover, Lingnan is a place inhabited by ordinary people and full of malaria. How can its importance be compared with that of Jin?"
"I wonder how Your Majesty will deal with Lingnan in the future?"
"Heavenly Blade Song Que is different after all. With his martial arts skills and prestige among the Li people, I'm afraid he will still be the one to guard and govern Lingnan in the future."
"My Li family is also willing to guard the border for Your Majesty."
"Jin is not an option. Unless the Li family is willing to guard the Western Regions, Mobei, and Liaodong."
"this……"
"Madam San, today is just a welcoming banquet. Let's just drink and not talk about business. Well, your fiancé, Chai Shao, is now serving as a palace attendant under the Emperor. You two, an engaged couple, must be very miserable, separated from each other and unable to get married for a long time. It's better to persuade your father to abandon his unrealistic ideas and submit to the Emperor as soon as possible."
"Alas, the affairs of the family and the country are not settled yet, Xiuning does not want to consider these personal affairs for the time being. But sister Minmin, you were a capable assistant to the First Emperor when he started his career, and you were highly valued by the First Emperor. Now you are one of the Nine Ministers, with a high position and power. With your status and beautiful appearance, I wonder what kind of hero is worthy of sister Minmin."
"Haha, just like what you said, Xiuning, the affairs of the family and the country are not settled yet, how can I have the time to consider the personal affairs of my children?"
"But a girl is too young to stand the test of time. Besides, the more powerful you become in the future, the fewer men will be worthy of you."
"Don't worry, you can always find the right one."
"I wonder what kind of man you like, sister? I know many outstanding young men from aristocratic families, maybe I can give you some advice."
"Oh, let's not talk about this, let's drink..."
The banquet was in full swing in the Dianke Office.
Xu Fu stood on the roof and drank the wind.
Some time ago, he made repeated mistakes in divination and had lost confidence in his divination. He even suspected that his plot against the Li family had violated "God's will", causing the backlash of heaven and blinding his inspiration, so that he was unaware of danger.
So he didn't dare to tell the fortune easily again to predict Ni Kun's whereabouts, for fear of making a wrong prediction and bringing trouble upon himself.
But the master's mission must be completed. Ni Kun and other "descendants of Wu Wudi" must be found and killed, and their hearts and brains must be sacrificed to the master.
So Xu Fu thought about it and decided to follow Li Xiuning.
Ni Kun exposed him on the spot because he wanted to trick Li Xiuning into taking the "Fixing Dan".
Xu Fu thought that Ni Kun must be interested in Li Xiuning, so by following Li Xiuning, he would be able to find Ni Kun's whereabouts.
To this end, he even overcame his subconscious fear of the title "First Emperor" and stepped into Chang'an City with fearless courage.
However, until now, Li Xiuning has not contacted Ni Kun, which makes Xu Fu a little annoyed.
"Why not just kidnap Li Xiuning and force Ni Kun to show up?"
Xu Fu thought to himself:
"This First Emperor is not the First Emperor of my world, so why should I be afraid of him?"
The First Emperor of his world could easily kill a mythical beast like the phoenix if he was given an army. This shows how terrifying the power wielded by the First Emperor is.
So after Xu Fu stole the elixir of immortality, he still hid for hundreds of years even though he knew that the First Emperor would not live that long.
And the first emperor of this world...
Well, he is also very powerful. He has the immortal Qin Terracotta Army under his command, and he himself possesses powerful magical powers.
But I, Xu Fu, am no longer the alchemist who only knew how to predict the future but had no ability to protect myself!
I am Emperor Shitian, the Lord of Tianmen. I am a man who has mastered all the martial arts in the world, created my own Sacred Heart Sutra, and am immortal and proficient in martial arts!
In this world, looking around the world, except for a handful of people, no one can be a match for me, Indra.
So what if the Qin Terracotta Army is immortal?
There is no need to activate the "Seven Ultimate Situations". Once the Immortal Step is used, even if you have an army of 100,000, how can they touch a corner of my clothes?
Even if I just stand there and let them beat me, I don't know how long it will take for them to wear through my black ice armor.
The reason why I lost to Ni Kun and others last time was purely because of my inner demons. In terms of absolute strength, Ni Kun is clearly not my opponent.
Now the master has said that Wu Wudi is dead, and Ni Kun and others have only inherited a few of Wu Wudi's top ten martial arts...
You are just the successor of Wu Wudi, nothing to be afraid of, you can't scare me!
After an hour of psychological preparation, Xu Fu finally made up his mind to kidnap Li Xiuning and force Ni Kun to show up.
And not long after he made up his mind.
The banquet industry also ended.
Zhao Min, along with A Da, A Er, the Eight Heroes of the Divine Arrows and other personal soldiers and generals, was going to personally send Li Xiuning and his party back to the guesthouse to rest.
Just at this moment.
Suddenly, a rosy glow appeared behind Li Xiuning, and a fifty-year-old man with long flowing hair and an immortal look appeared out of nowhere - Xu Fu was originally a middle-aged man in his early forties.
But after Ni Kun took away half of his shoulder and one arm, not only was his vitality severely damaged and his upper limit of power reduced by 10%, but even his phoenix blood and essence were consumed in regenerating his shoulder and arm, causing him to quickly age by more than ten years.
However, it did not detract from his sanctimonious appearance. On the contrary, his whitened hair made him look even more like an immortal.
He used the Seven Ultimate Situations and appeared out of nowhere behind Li Xiuning. He grabbed Li Xiuning's shoulders and then used the Immortal Step to carry Li Xiuning up into the sky. They landed on a roof nearby and flew away at the speed of teleportation.
In this sudden attack, no one was able to react, whether it was Zhao Min's family masters, or Chen Xuanfeng, Mei Chaofeng, Shi Wanbao who were protecting Li Xiuning, or even Dongfang Bai who was still following Li Xiuning as "Ni Xiaobai".
As everyone was in shock, Xu Fu's voice came from afar:
"Tell Ni Kun to come to Huashan East Peak to see me, otherwise Li Xiuning will definitely die!"
The sound was still ringing in our ears when Xu Fu and Li Xiuning disappeared without a trace.
