Chapter 82 Qilin appears and the army marches out
As soon as he entered the city, the people in the city cheered, which immediately made Song Que, the king of Zhennan, feel flattered.
"Hahaha, it seems that the people have admired King Zhennan for a long time." Yang Guang said with a smile on the carriage.
Soon everyone returned to the palace. Yang Guang was not in a hurry to discuss the war with the ministers, but took Song Que to see Su Yu alone.
It was still the Imperial Garden. The Imperial Garden that had been ruined was replanted with new flowers. As for the black unicorn, it was naturally sent back to Bai Yujing by Su Yu.
Yang Guang did not bring any attendants, but only entered the imperial garden with Song Que. This shows his trust and incomparable confidence in Su Yu and Song Que.
There was a pavilion in the center of the garden, and Su Yu was sitting there. Tea had been brewed on the stone table, waiting for the two of them to arrive.
Song Que also saw Su Yu and felt that he was younger than he thought. He really couldn't imagine where such a person came from. Could he really be a god in the sky?
"Haha, Your Majesty, I've been waiting for a long time." Yang Guang laughed.
Song Que also walked into the pavilion and cupped his hands slightly.
"Lingnan Song Que has met the emperor." This sentence was neither humble nor arrogant, and was out of recognition of Su Yu's strength.
Su Yu also raised his head and looked at Song Que. In fact, he should be over fifty, but due to his advanced cultivation, he looked no more than thirty years old. He had a handsome face and a slight beard. He was now wearing armor and looked like a general on an expedition. dress up.
"Your Majesty, King Zhennan, please sit down." Su Yu said.
The two of them sat down.
The two cups flew in front of them on their own, and then the teapot flew up on its own to fill the cups with tea.
"please."
"Thank you, Emperor." Song Que said as he served tea.
After finishing the cup of tea, Song Que hesitated for a moment and asked Su Yu.
"There is one thing that Song has always been curious about. Is the emperor's strength above the Broken Realm?"
When Yang Guang heard this, he also showed a curious expression.
"The martial arts path is long and has no end. My current state is just a step. King Zhennan does not need to worry too much about my state. It is right to focus on myself."
Seeing that Su Yu didn't talk about his strength, the two of them were a little disappointed.
Seeing the expressions of the two of them, Su Yu smiled. Then he stood up and walked to the flower stand nearby.
"The path of martial arts is ever-changing, but its purpose is to make oneself constantly stronger, and the reason for becoming stronger is to feel free to break free from the shackles."
As Su Yu spoke, she reached out and waved towards a peach tree that had not yet bloomed. The entire peach tree suddenly began to bloom with pink peach blossoms.
The two of them were immediately shocked.
Su Yu picked a peach blossom, put it in her hand, and then continued.
"After gaining great freedom, you will pursue the true meaning of life. Just like this peach tree, it blossoms and bears fruit, endless cycle, but it can only take root here, and martial arts is to face difficulties and go against the will."
"Are there gods in this world?" Yang Guang suddenly asked.
"Immortal? How does the emperor think I compare to an immortal?" Su Yu asked.
"Uh... Your Majesty, in my eyes, is no different than a god." Yang Guang said quickly.
"You have answered your question." Su Yu said.
Yang Guang was confused.
"Your Majesty, what the emperor means is that even if there are gods, they are just people with advanced cultivation." Song Que said from the side.
Su Yu showed an expression of appreciation.
"Whether it's a god or an immortal, the emperor shouldn't place your hopes on them. Just do what you should do, and blessings will naturally appear." Su Yu said.
"However, you must have awe of heaven and earth, and do not be arrogant. You can worship gods, but you must regard gods as yourself. You can worship heaven, but you worship all things in heaven and earth."
"I've been taught a lesson." Yang Guang cupped his hands and said.
Then Song Que asked some more questions about martial arts, and Su Yu answered them one by one and reminded him that the Heavenly Sword has more than eight styles, and the number nine is the ultimate. He can cultivate it when he understands the ninth sword. Ascend to Broken Realm.
Su Yu then revealed Pei Ju's true identity, because just a few days ago, Shi Zhixuan completely absorbed the Evil Emperor's relics and successfully broke through with Su Yu's help. Now Shi Zhixuan has returned to the court.
Yang Guang was immediately overjoyed. What he was happy about was that Pei Ju was actually a world-famous master and had served him for so many years.
"Shi Zhixuan?" Song Que felt a sense of fighting intent.
"Shi Zhixuan is already in the broken state." Su Yu said lightly.
"What?" Yang Guang and Song Que were shocked.
"Hahaha, okay, with you two, this time we conquer Korea, everything will be safe." Yang Guang then laughed happily.
Song Que had no choice but to show a trace of regret, but as his eyes became firmer, he would create the ninth sword no matter what, and then fight Shi Zhixuan.
Daxing City began to become lively. The arrival of soldiers from Lingnan indeed boosted a lot of the economy and did not cause any damage to public security. The people praised Song Que for his strict military management.
Three days have passed, and preparations have been made for worshiping heaven in the huge square in the city. In addition to Song Que's 30,000 cavalry, and the 70,000 troops dispatched by Yang Guang, they all gathered here early in the morning. All civil and military officials gathered here. , the people all over the city looked forward to it, waiting for the ceremony to begin.
"Second brother, look at how powerful these sergeants are." A handsome young man in the ranks of ministers said to the young man standing in front of him.
"Xiu Ning, keep your voice down, I'll be doomed if dad finds out." The man glanced at a middle-aged man who was talking to the ministers not far away and said.
These two people are Li Shimin, Li Yuan's son, and Li Xiuning, who likes to dress up as a man.
Hearing this, Li Xiuning secretly stuck out her tongue, then stood obediently, not daring to say any more.
"The emperor has arrived." At this time, the eunuch's voice came.
Yang Guang, Song Que, Pei Ju and the other two came one after another.
Pei Ju and Song Que stood at the first place on both sides of the civil and military officials, and Yang Guang walked up to the altar alone.
Then there was a long sacrificial text.
After a stick of incense, the drums and music sounded, and Yang Guang turned around. Immediately, a eunuch came up with a plate, and the plate contained the tiger talisman.
"Song Que, the Grand Marshal of the Expedition, takes the talisman."
"Your servant Song Que takes the talisman." Song Que hurried forward and said.
At the moment when Song Que took the talisman, there was a loud rumble in the sky.
A black shadow ran from the sky.
"Look, it's the mythical beast Qilin."
"Qilin appears."
Everyone was immediately excited.
Xiao Hei ran a circle in the air as Su Yu asked, and then slowly ran towards the altar.
"Roar..."
The tall and mighty figure shocked everyone.
"It's really a Qilin." Li Xiuning excitedly pulled Li Shimin, and Li Shimin was even more excited than her.
Xiaohei turned around, making everyone shocked and excited.
Then it walked to the altar, ate all the tributes on it, and then showed a satisfied expression and walked to Yang Guang.
"Roar..." Xiaohei nodded slightly to Yang Guang, then turned and flew away.
"Wow..."
"The beast has recognized it."
"Long live, long live, long live."
Everyone was excited and shouted long live.
"This battle will win..." Song Que raised the tiger talisman and shouted loudly.
"We will win, we will win." 100,000 troops followed and shouted.
"Sister, do me a favor." Li Shimin suddenly turned around in the crowd and said.
"What's wrong?" Li Xiuning asked in confusion.
Then Li Shimin said with a burning look in his eyes.
"I want to go to Goryeo, I want to join the army, a man should do this."
"What?" Li Xiuning was shocked.
"Keep it a secret for a few days. If my father comes looking for me, I'll say I went to drink with friends." Li Shimin said, and then he secretly left the crowd and prepared to leave the city.
"Li Yuan's son? Interesting." Shi Zhixuan, who was standing in front of the civil officials, said secretly. He had already heard what Li Shimin said just now.
Then Song Que bowed deeply to Yang Guang, put away the tiger talisman, and nodded to Song Zhi behind him.
"All troops, listen to the order, the rear army will become the front army, and leave the city."
"Hua La."
The 100,000-man army turned around immediately.
"Prince Zhennan, I'm waiting for your good news." Yang Guang said.
"Your Majesty, don't worry." Song Que said, and jumped on the horse.
Shi Zhixuan followed closely behind, and he was the deputy commander in this expedition.
At this point, the war against Goryeo began.
