Chapter 491
Tianjing City
Outside the majestic and solemn gate of the palace, Li Chengkong stood with his hands behind his back.
Ten guards of the Forbidden Palace stood on both sides of the purple-lacquered gate, standing with their swords, staring at them covetously.
Although Li Chengkong did not bring weapons, his breath was restrained and he seemed to be without any threat, without the aura of a martial arts master.
But they were all tigers who had experienced the battlefield, and had a strange intuition and felt the chill.
Intuition tells them: This handsome young man in front of him, who is as handsome as a wind, is very dangerous!
Li Chengkong smiled at them.
This is where the foundation lies. The palace guards can arrange such warriors who have been on the battlefield for a long time, but the city guards in Zhennan City cannot be helped.
Although they have been tempering the bandit suppression, the bandit suppression is far from the real battlefield fighting. The battlefield that the city guards have experienced is nothing more than suppressing rebellion.
Officials in the southern border often force the people to rebel, but the combat effectiveness of the people is a thousand miles away from the real army.
Looking at these imperial guards, Li Chengkong always had an impulse to plunder them back to the southern border.
With these veterans in the army, the increase in combat effectiveness and experience of the southern army is huge.
Unfortunately, the southern border is too attractive to ordinary people, and it is not even attractive, but only repulsive. When I hear the southern border, I want to hide.
A moment later, an old eunuch with a long haired hair came out lightly, holding a jade whisk and bowed to salute: "I have seen the prince, please come with me."
Li Chengkong hugged his fists, followed him into the palace gate, passed through two palace gates, and came to Duanhe Palace.
In Duanhe Hall, the aura of three great masters lingered.
Huo Qingkong sat in the dragon throne, with a bright yellow gown, looking at Li Chengkong coldly as he stepped in.
He hung his sword on his head, and the tip of the sword pointed at Li Chengkong, ready to stab him at any time.
Li Chengkong stepped into the hall and bowed with fists: "I've seen Your Majesty."
He looked up at the screens on both sides and left and right, shook his head and showed a dissatisfied smile: "Your Majesty, are you okay?"
There was murderous intent in his chest, but he suppressed it. He did not reveal a trace of it, but instead had a warm smile.
If you avenge your enemies, you can kill Huo Qingkong with one sword now.
But who makes me greedy and want more?
Then you have to endure the murderous intent. Now it is not until Huo Qingkong dies, and the southern border needs to gain time to develop.
And I also need enough identity to satisfy everyone's hearts.
Now is a good time to take advantage of the situation!
Huo Qingkong sat quietly in the dragon throne, restrained his cold expression and showed a gentle smile: "Congratulations, the King of Zhennan is now proud of his youth."
After he knew that Li Chengkong became the leader of the Qinglian Holy Sect, he felt a little annoyed and a little more fearful.
At the beginning, Li Chengkong cheated and killed Monk Kong with his hand. However, Li Chengkong was very skillful and eventually had to be granted the title of King Zhennan.
I feel that I can be brought over and make him loyal, but I offended him.
My mind and pattern really need to be improved, but unfortunately, there is no chance to improve anymore.
He sighed secretly and smiled, "I don't know if I should call myself the prince or the leader of the Qinglian Holy Sect."
Li Chengkong smiled and said, "It depends on what happened. Your Majesty, after I took over as the leader, I will learn a secret technique."
"Oh—?" Huo Qingkong smiled indifferently.
"The Qinglian Encountering Heavenly Art." Li Chengkong smiled and said, "It can extend your life, so I will come and offer it to Your Majesty."
"Qinglian's technique of receiving heaven?" Huo Qingkong frowned and looked at the old eunuch under the case.
The old eunuch nodded slightly: "Your Majesty, it seems that there is indeed such a secret technique in the Qinglian Holy Book."
The Green Lotus Holy Book covers everything, and there are countless amazing secret techniques. Each secret technique is extremely difficult to practice, but its power is also amazing.
He had heard of the Qinglian technique of receiving the sky, which was said to be an ancient technique, but it was too difficult to practice such a technique that defies the heavens and changes fate.
If others say that they have mastered it, they will not believe it.
Li Chengkong is different. He can be called the world's number one genius. It is not surprising that he can master the Qinglian technique of following the sky.
Huo Qingkong smiled and said, "Okay, Qinglian's technique of receiving heaven, this name sounds good, how many years can it last?"
Li Chengkong smiled and said, "Live for one year."
"One year..." Huo Qingkong shook his head: "What's the point of doing in a year?"
Li Chengkong said: "Your Majesty, in one year, I became the Grand Master, in one year, I became the King of Zhennan, in one year, I became the leader of the Qinglian Holy Sect."
"...Haha, that's true." Huo Qingkong said: "When I think back now, I really underestimated you, King of Zhennan. It's my fault and I want to apologize to you."
"Your Majesty is so serious," Li Chengkong shook his head and smiled: "Your Majesty must have heard that there are two mines in the southern border?"
"Some people say it's a rumor, some people say it's a sure thing. Can the King of Zhennan tell me the truth?"
"It's true, one iron ore and one coal mine are said to have a lot of storage."
"This is a great thing. It is a blessing in the southern border and a blessing in eternity!"
"Your Majesty, my name is not true," Li Chengkong shook his head and said, "I want to exchange the real King of Zhennan for one year."
"Hmm-?" Huo Qingkong frowned.
Li Chengkong said: "The Qinglian's technique of receiving heaven is to bring his life to the other party, not to make things happen out of nothing. I want to extend His Majesty's life by one year, and I will lose one year of my life."
“Can you extend your life more?”
Li Chengkong shook his head and said, "The first time you use it, you can extend one year's life. The second time you use it, ten years of life will extend one month's life. The third time you use it, a hundred years of life will extend one day's life."
"It seems that I can only extend my life for one year?"
Li Chengkong smiled and said, "It is possible that within this year, what kind of treasures in heaven and earth can prolong life?"
There are really treasures, so I have found them long ago.
However, as an emperor, I always feel that I can find it because there is a huge amount of manpower to collect it, and there is always a lot of hope.
"It makes some sense." Huo Qingkong said: "Do you want me to exchange my lifespan for one year in the South?"
Li Chengkong nodded slowly: "Please give me the title of King Zhennan forever, and I will never replace him."
"Will I hand over all the appointment and removal of officials to the King of Zhennan?" Huo Qingkong looked sarcastic.
But he felt relieved.
Li Daoyuan and Li Chengkong have ambitions. It seems that he has such a great ambitions, just wanting to occupy the southern border as king.
If this is true, Da Yong will not lose much. There is no tax in the southern border anyway. Instead, in order to indicate its ownership, some money will be paid every year.
This southern border is a big burden, and it is nothing wrong to be thrown to Li Chengkong and let him monopolize the king.
"If the emperor gives it, thank you very much."
"Hey, you want me to cut off the southern border to you, the country in the middle!"
"Your Majesty, the southern territory is still the southern territory of Da Yong. I am the King of Zhennan and will not become the Emperor of Zhennan." Li Chengkong shook his head and said, "Your Majesty also knows that the southern territory is not favorable. Once a country becomes a country, Da Yue Da Yong can be easily destroyed."
"Just understand!" Huo Qingkong said coldly.
Li Chengkong said: "Your Majesty can consider it and let me take my leave first."
"By the way." He stopped again when he was about to turn around: "This time, your Majesty must fulfill his promise first before I can perform this technique."
He smiled at Huo Qingkong, turned around and left with ease.
