Ch 386: You’re Not Allowed To Go
“I want to go to Xuanzhou to help Martial Uncle!”
Shi Ming finished speaking, and Yun Qianzhu followed suit.
The last time Martial Uncle was in trouble, they were in the Extreme Domain, and they didn’t even know about it; they couldn’t even help at all.
This time, no matter what, they must help Martial Uncle!
“Li Hanzhou truly has such good martial nephews!”
Situ Ling sincerely sighed.
If possible, he would also like to help Li Hanzhou, but unfortunately, the Longevity Temple currently needs him, this Immortal Realm expert, to be in charge, and he simply cannot spare himself.
Yun Qianzhu looked at Li Changshou, and said coquettishly, “Master, can I go? I’m just one step away from breaking through to the Heavenly Gang Realm. Can’t you trust me?”
Shi Ming stared at Li Changshou with wide eyes and also spoke, “I’ve also broken through to Sixth Rank!”
“No!”
Li Changshou said angrily.
Xuanzhou is now a target that everyone wants to attack, facing unimaginable pressure.
Even though Yun Qianzhu and Shi Ming’s cultivation levels have improved, they are still a drop in the bucket in the current battle situation.
Perhaps, there, Junior Brother will have to spare some of his attention to keep an eye on them two.
Moreover, for so long, Junior Brother Li Hanzhou has not taken the initiative to come to the Longevity Temple to find them, or sent a letter to the Longevity Temple, which means that Junior Brother must have his own plans.
They don’t need the Longevity Temple’s intervention for now.
Seeing Shi Ming and Yun Qianzhu’s stubborn expressions, Li Changshou had to tell them his guess.
After hearing this, the two did not persist in their opinions but sighed rather regretfully.
They silently walked out of the room.
In the end, their hard strength was not strong enough; otherwise, they would definitely go if they wanted to, and Master wouldn’t stop them.
So, as soon as the two returned to their respective rooms, they began to cultivate desperately.
At this time, Li Changshou also came out.
Situ Ling lay on a relatively wide expanse of ground, his hands resting on his head, chewing on a piece of dogtail grass, looking up at the sky, not knowing what he was thinking about.
On the tree beside Situ Ling, a fat calico cat was lying on the trunk, fast asleep.
It carelessly exposed its snow-white belly, snoring without any regard for its image.
Sometimes, it seemed to have dreamed of something frightening, its body suddenly jolted, and a series of meows came from its mouth.
The noise made Situ Ling unable to maintain his calm demeanor; he frowned repeatedly and slowly moved away to continue lying down.
Li Changshou walked along; the temple was peaceful, except for the absence of his junior brother.
He silently returned to his room, sat cross-legged, and began to cultivate.
Thanks to the Return to Reflection Art he obtained in his dream.
Now, even if he cultivates again, his progress is much faster than when he practiced the Longevity Temple’s cultivation methods.
This time, after learning that his junior brother was not completely dead.
He also had the idea of going to Xuanzhou to help his junior brother, but unfortunately, the Return to Reflection Art he practiced had entered a bottleneck. This is a very important stage; he must diligently cultivate and cannot be disturbed by external matters, otherwise, it will be ruined.
On the battlefield at the front line of Yanzhou.
The Northern Qi soldiers huddled in the conquered city, fully armed, standing on the city gate patrolling everywhere.
Whenever a suspicious figure passed by the city gate, the Northern Qi soldiers would shout, telling them to leave.
If the Dragon Court’s army invaded, they would shoot and kill them without hesitation.
If they were Jianghu people, they would ignore them, as if they hadn’t seen them, and would continue doing what they were doing.
In the City Lord’s Mansion at this time.
Xiao Tiansheng had removed his armor and was wearing ordinary clothes, sitting in the hall. Soldiers constantly came and went reporting the situation.
“Report! General Pang brought the news that Jianghu people have been harassing Yanluo City recently; some people even infiltrated the city and tried to open the city gate from the inside, but General Pang discovered them in time and arrested them…”
“General Pang asked me to ask the Prince how to deal with those Jianghu people who were caught?”
Hearing this.
Xiao Tiansheng said without hesitation, “Lock them in the dungeon and guard them strictly, but don’t use any special methods to interrogate them. Treat them as ordinary prisoners; give them food and water as needed.”
“Prince, there has been some dissatisfaction in the army recently. They say that you are too merciful…”
After hearing the answer, the reporting soldier hesitated for a moment but still couldn’t help but say.
“I know.”
Xiao Tiansheng’s face still showed no expression, but his tone softened a little.
“It’s been hard on everyone recently. Strict patrols are necessary for our current defensive strategy. Order the city’s head chef to improve the food for the brothers and reward them.”
Hearing this, a joyful expression appeared on the reporting soldier’s face.
“Then I will thank the Prince on behalf of the brothers. I won’t delay any longer and will go back and report to General Pang.”
After sending off waves of soldiers who came to report the battle situation, it was already afternoon.
Xiao Tiansheng finally had a short rest.
He slowly walked outside, gazing at the red clouds on the horizon, his thoughts swirling.
The arrival of this group of Jianghu people caught him completely off guard.
They even killed many of his Northern Qi soldiers.
Therefore, the soldiers also began to become very hostile towards Jianghu people.
But Xiao Tiansheng knew that those Jianghu people were misled by the Fake Emperor, which is why they attacked them.
If he simply killed them all, the grudge between the two sides would only become deeper and irreconcilable.
On the contrary, when the truth is revealed, these Jianghu people will surely wake up and become a great help to him.
At that time, they will no longer have to continue to huddle in the city to recuperate.
They can sound the horn of a counterattack against the Dragon Court.
However, during this waiting period, the pressure he endured was no less than the pressure on the battlefield.
On the one hand, he had to appease the soldiers above and below, and on the other hand, he had to not exterminate those Jianghu people.
He also had to carefully watch out for the Dragon Court army that might attack the city at any time.
These three aspects were constantly circling in his mind.
“Now I only hope that Little Han can act quickly and let us vent our anger soon…”
Xiao Tiansheng muttered to himself.
King of Northern Qi’s Mansion.
After the situation on the front line eased, a secret letter was sent to the Valley of Unfeeling.
After two days, Li Hanzhou received a letter from Su Nianyi.
Then he waited for her to arrive at the King of Northern Qi’s Mansion.
During this waiting period, although Li Hanzhou had some free time, he didn’t just waste it. Instead, he went to the mansion treasury, took a pile of materials, and went into the secret chamber.
