Chapter 125: Chapter 78: Transmitting the Law, Establishing Authority!_2
Qi Condensation ah...
And Li Guanyi had just started circulating his Inner Qi when he felt interference from a cold breath at his chest.
After it flowed through his heart meridian, his originally condensed Inner Qi still scattered by thirty percent.
This left Li Guanyi feeling rather displeased.
The severe poison that had plagued him for ten years, with its persisting dark clouds, awaited Siming’s return, when he would fiercely strike it with the "Tiger Roar Bone Forging Skills" to thoroughly shatter it. But who knew by then how much his root bone could advance? And how much faster could his Inner Qi circulate?
Even so, the stage of Inner Qi condensation he had achieved earned Xue Daoyong’s high praise.
Today, when he invited him to stay for a meal, he brought out a letter. The elder casually handed it to Li Guanyi, asking him to also look at these secret messages of the Xue Family, then he sighed with a long sigh, "The grand ceremony of Chen Country in a month’s time, Guanyi, will be even bigger than we previously anticipated."
"The five kings at Turkic were crushed by Yuwen Lie, but the Seventh Prince had an extremely sharp eye, taking the opportunity to nibble away the grasslands of the Western Regions, a rising overlord of the grassland."
"And this Seventh Prince is coming to the grand ceremony of Chen Country."
"The one coming from Ying Country is likely Prince Jiang Guang of Ying Country, widely known for his virtue. It’s uncertain if their Crown Prince will also come, but if even that Crown Prince intends to participate..."
Xue Daoyong paused for a moment, then said, "That renowned general Yuwen Lie under heaven will also be here."
Li Guanyi paused in his action.
The elder continued,
"Besides, the second son of Duke Ying Mansion will also be there."
"He is young and talented, excelling in both literature and martial arts."
"It was supposed to be the eldest son who would come, it’s curious why there was a sudden change of plans."
"It’s somewhat similar to the situation with the Turkic Seventh Prince."
"In addition, there’s also the son of the ruler of the newly founded Dangxiang Kingdom. All these people, they are coming."
"It is said that the ruler of Dangxiang Kingdom is secretly searching in the Western Regions to find the King Seal of Tuyuhun; Yuwen Lie of Ying Country, as well as Tantai Xianming, are all after the same thing. Perhaps, just before his death, the King of Tuyuhun had a sudden realization and jumped into the volcanic fissure of the Western Regions with the seal."
"Otherwise, how could such a valuable item simply vanish?"
"The remnants of the Tuyuhun tribes, the new inhabitants of the Dangxiang Kingdom, the covetous Tiele tribe, Ying Country that wants to establish a Protectorate, and Tantai Xianming that old fox, are all eyeing this one seal."
"It is said that when this seal was cast, it involved the slaying of thirty-five tribal chiefs, and now after three hundred years, it can still provoke such a maelstrom of bloodshed; the King of Tuyuhun back then was truly the greatest hero and overlord of the Western Regions in this millennium."
Xue Daoyong said thoughtfully.
Li Guanyi’s expression remained unchanged as he remarked, "Indeed, this is the confluence of the world’s affairs."
"It’s just not known where it is now, and who has gotten hold of it."
Xue Daoyong laughed and said, "Whoever it is, that’s a matter far away in the Western Regions, unrelated to us. We should just watch and see; by the time that person makes their move, there will be plenty of trouble."
"That is so," Li Guanyi said.
But in his heart, he was thinking that he had to deplete the Qi Fortune within the seal before participating in the grand ceremony.
The elder chatted with him about the world’s changes and the vortex around the grand ceremony. Eventually, the elder lifted the teacup in his hand and softly suggested, "Tomorrow, Shuangtao will go to the Capital City, Guanyi, why don’t you ride along and send her off? You can return after about a hundred li."
"You need to resolve one trouble concerning you before participating in the grand ceremony."
Li Guanyi pondered this.
The elder waved his hand, and thus the curtains of Wind Listening Pavilion fell, shielding their conversation from prying ears.
The old man and Li Guanyi talked for the time it takes an incense stick to burn.
......
It rained today, and the Jiangnan sky was exceptionally azure the next day. The Xue Family’s carriage convoy was ready, emerging from the east gate of Guan Yi City and heading toward Jiangzhou, the Capital City. Inside the carriage, with gifts and visiting cards for other aristocratic families, sat the eldest daughter, lifting the curtain to chat idly with Li Guanyi.
Riding a horse, Li Guanyi was indeed martial in bearing. Because of the slow pace of the carriage, a hundred li took an hour, but now they could see the entourage sent by the noble concubine from the royal family, so Li Guanyi tightened his reins and said, "Well then, Miss, I can no longer accompany you."
"Take care on your journey."
Xue Shuangtao lifted her eyes and suddenly asked, "...You’ll come in a month, won’t you?"
"You’ve obtained the official document; you won’t suddenly disappear, will you?"
"Hmm," Li Guanyi said.
"The Emperor himself has issued an Imperial Decree, I presume I wouldn’t be able to flee even if I wanted to."
Xue Shuangtao was reassured, slowly nodding her head, saying, "Then I’ll wait for you here."
Her face wearing a smile, "The Capital City has many beautiful places, delicious food, and fun activities. I will explore each one, and when you come over, I will take you there."
Li Guanyi handed a pouch to the girl.
Xue Shuangtao opened it, inside were the polished round stones used by the children for playing, and a spinning top. Li Guanyi stopped his horse, watching as the Miss waved at him, helped into the royal carriage, and gradually disappearing into the distance.
As the youth reined his horse to return to Guan Yi City, he suddenly heard a whistle sound.
Suddenly, trip ropes rose up from the underbrush.
Then came the sound of horse hooves, as five tall horses not common in the Jiangnan trails burst forth, each with a gallantly dressed youth atop, their brows high-spirited and faces masked. The five fine horses quickly encircled Li Guanyi, one of them laughing, "So this is that Li Guanyi?!"
"Haha, we’ve finally caught him!"
"Today we’ll cripple his Martial Arts, break one of his legs, and see if he can still attend the grand ceremony!"
