Chapter 168: Time
Time passes consistently, perhaps the only fair thing for everyone in the world.
However, for many powerful people in Changling, the time in Changling seems to flow faster than in previous years.
The reason why it is fast is because people are anxious and because of the great event of the Lushan League.
Although the Minshan Sword Association is a projection of the confrontation between countless powerful people in Changling, and a review and display of strength of the talents of the Qin Dynasty that are concerned by all dynasties in the world, it is still incomparable to the Lushan Alliance, which is enough to directly determine the fate of the entire dynasty.
The Fanghou Mansion in Twilight seems to be no different from the past, but as Su Xiumu disobeyed the holy will and left without saying goodbye, it fell into the eyes of many people, and there was a hint of decay.
In the Weihe Military Port, Ye Celeng stood at the bow of the giant iron-armored ship accompanying her to sea. He looked at Fang Hou's mansion in the distance, and suddenly whispered to Han Sanshi, who had always followed her like an old servant, "If you follow the emperor to Lushan League instead of Fang Xiumu, you must be Fang Sheng."
"Why?" Han Sanshi asked.
Her words are difficult for almost all Changling people to understand.
Following Jun Fang to participate in the Lushan League is a great honor. Now Fang Xiumu is against the will of the holy people. Even if he asks Fang Hou’s mansion to make up for his merits and transfers the Divine Power General guarding outside the pass back, this move is a bit too big.
"You're waiting to see."
Ye Ce Leng shook his head and smiled coldly.
She was one of the few people who knew Emperor Yuanwu the most. She knew very well that the Fanghou Mansion, the most powerful among the Thirteen Marquis, would probably be the first to be destroyed.
...
As time goes by, a beautiful mountain surrounded by clouds and abundant water has appeared in front of the convoy where Lilingjun is shrouded in twilight.
Seeing such a clear appearance in front of me was like a mountain that was squeezed towards my body. Li Lingjun's eyes were filled with mist.
That is Wushan, and Chu land.
After so many years of separation from Chu, it goes without saying that it is such a big mountain, and every grass and tree on it is particularly shocking.
In the Lilingjun's convoy, there were naturally many Chu people who followed him to Changling at that time.
The road to return home is long, and there are real mountains and rivers. This way of returning home has been planned for more than ten years. There are arrangements along the way to replace cars and horses. It is a real journey of day and night. It only took half of the time to arrive here, and everyone in the convoy was naturally extremely tired.
However, when seeing the mountains clearly and seeing the plants and trees on the mountains, all these Chu people felt as if they were shocked and their bodies trembled violently, and many of them even burst into tears.
Wushan is a natural obstacle, with several rushing waters entangled in it, so it is impossible for the army to raid from here. On weekdays, only border trade caravans pass by, so on the return route of Lilingjun, the last checkpoint of the Qin Dynasty was only Wushan Pass, which was stationed by hundreds of people. The most important military strategist for the Qin Dynasty and the Great Chu Dynasty was originally Yangshan County, which was the interruption of Wushan. It deeply penetrated into a plain of the Great Chu Dynasty. Yangshan County returned to the Great Chu Dynasty in the third year of Yuanwu. Now the Qin army fortress closest to Wushan Pass is Hangu Pass, which is more than 60 miles away.
From Changling to this place, the journey was unobstructed. This level had obviously received a relevant secret order. After seeing the customs clearance documents of the convoy, it was immediately released, and the convoy's entourage and items were not even checked.
When the carriage really drove into the lane opened by the horse gang in Wushan. Sniffing the wet breath in Wushan, Li Lingjun finally couldn't control his emotions. He lifted the curtain and had the urge to kiss the land of his hometown.
However, just as he lifted the curtain, an old man in the gray robe sitting in the first carriage of the convoy suddenly opened his eyes, and the clouds above the convoy suddenly spun, as if a real dragon was about to emerge from it.
Lilingjun and many people in the convoy had slightly stiff faces.
No matter how the sky above the convoy changes, the clouds on the road ahead are as unmoving as rocks in the water.
It seems that that world has become a world unique to a person.
A middle-aged man with hair tied up with a delicate white jade hairpin and a green and golden robe appeared in everyone's sight.
The moment he appeared in everyone's sight, all the dust in the mountains and forests seemed to be blown away by a breath, becoming extremely clean.
Feeling the dust-free and filthless aura emitted from this man, Li Lingjun's breathing paused slightly, got off the carriage without hesitation, bowed slightly to the man, and said, "See General Fan Wugui."
After hearing what Li Lingjun said, all the practitioners in the convoy changed their faces. They knew that if this person was here to kill Li Lingjun, even if the elder in the first carriage was there, they might not be able to stop it.
Fan Wugui is the palace master of Wugui Palace in the Great Chu Dynasty, and is also one of the most powerful generals in the Great Chu Dynasty. His reputation and status in the world are probably infinitely close to that of the sect leader of the Minshan Sword Sect and Lingxu Sword Sect of the Great Qin Dynasty. He will appear here today.
"Don't be nervous, I'm just ordered to take you to meet someone." The peerless master naturally has the style of a peerless master. Fan Wugui nodded and returned the salute, said lightly, then turned around and said, "You can follow me alone."
Li Lingjun took a deep breath and nodded to the people around him. The rotating cloud above the convoy quickly disappeared. He followed Fan Wugui's footsteps into the forest path next to him.
Although Fan Wugui did not have any murderous intention, his back and the aura revealed on his body always put strong pressure on Li Lingjun. In just a few dozen breaths, Li Lingjun's hands were already sweating slightly.
"You have a reputation in Changling, and I have also paid attention to your practice. In the past many years, your practice has been extremely excellent, even surpassing almost all of my disciples. However, starting five years ago, your cultivation level began to be surprisingly slow. Otherwise, you should have entered the seventh level when you see me at this time. But not only have you not reached the seventh level, but your body and five energy are somewhat out of order... Now that you are back, don't worry too much. You must understand that cultivation level is always the foundation for whether you can gain a foothold in this world."
Fan Wugui didn't look back, but suddenly spoke slowly.
Li Lingjun's face was slightly tightened and he said sincerely: "I'll be taught by you."
Fan Wugui stopped talking and continued to move forward.
He began to pass through some mountains without roads. The surroundings became more and more desolate. After a tea time, a mountain meadow appeared in front of him and Li Lingjun.
It is obvious that there is no coldness here even in winter. Three wall-like mountain walls completely block the cold wind, so the unknown ferns grow waist-deep.
In the middle of this mountain meadow, there is a small lake, and by the lake, there are several large tents. At this time, the lights have been lit, making it look extremely bright and warm.
"If you want to see you, you will be in there. You will be there by yourself."
Fan Wugui stood with his hands on the edge of the meadow and said lightly to Li Lingjun.
What kind of noble person is that who can help Fan Wugui lead him?
Li Lingjun thought of a possibility, but felt it was impossible. His breathing became more and more rapid, and he did not dare to neglect at all. He walked quickly in the meadow like the wind.
The closer you get to the several camp tents by the lake, the more shocked Li Lingjun is.
Within the meadows dozens of feet close to the tent, the grass was not only cleaned up in an extremely neat manner. The ground was also covered with precious flowers, exuding a refreshing fragrance.
The bright light emitted in the tent was not the lights at all, but the pearls.
Even the camp itself is made of some kind of white animal skin. Even Lilingjun has never seen this white animal skin, and it exudes a unique fragrance.
Several maids in palace costumes walked out as he approached the tent and bowed to him. Then they opened the curtain of the tent and let him enter.
Li Lingjun's breathing completely paused.
These tents are connected together, like forming a deep courtyard.
The inside of the camp is extremely rich and exquisite, not only much better than his most exquisite room in Lilingjun Mansion in Changling, but it can even be said to be more exquisite than all the beautiful people in Changling.
This kind of exquisiteness can only come from the palace of the Great Chu Dynasty in the whole world.
Everything in these tents is no different from everything in the exquisite palaces in the Great Chu Dynasty palace.
In the center of the tent, a Jueli woman who was indescribable to breathe with her back to him.
In front of the woman Jueli, I don’t know whether it was a hot spring pool that was dug by hand or a naturally formed person, and it was constantly emitting a confusing white mist.
Li Lingjun finally confirmed that the impossible person he guessed became possible.
He lowered his head in almost panic, hesitated for a moment, and said, "My mother."
"When you left Chengcheng, you were still a child..."
An extremely beautiful and pleasant voice sounded, and the woman Jueli said slowly with a hint of emotion: "You don't need to rush to Chengcheng next. All you need to do is to go to Lushan with me to wait."
Li Lingjun's breathing stagnated. He finally understood why this woman, who had supreme power like Zheng Xiu, was here. His voice trembled slightly, "Is the father's emperor already here?"
The woman Jueli still did not turn around, but nodded and said, "It's almost time... Come and serve me in the bath."
Li Lingjun's entire body couldn't help but tremble, and his brain was blank at this moment.
In the next moment, he began to understand what was going on.
He finally understood what method Su Qin used to allow him to return to Da Chu so smoothly.
However, such a thing... Su Qin didn't tell him to know about it!
His mouth became extremely dry, as if he had swallowed countless sand and stones.
The Jueli woman was waiting for him, and her delicate back slowly became cold and hard due to his sluggishness.
Li Lingjun's heart was filled with countless unspeakable emotions, but he knew what to do at this time.
"Affect the order." His heart began to be filled with strong murderous intent towards Su Qin, but his face became gentle and elegant as usual. He slowly stepped forward and his hands fell on Jueli's woman's shoulders.
Wushan began to slowly envelope the night, and the clouds and mist became even more lingering.
