Chapter 728 Deer Hunting
Under the yellow umbrella,
Facing that turbid gaze, Xu Yinhe's words were serious and solemn:
"Your Majesty, I still have unfinished business. Please forgive me for not following Your Majesty this time."
Li Yaoxuan's thin body trembled slightly for a moment, then he half-closed his eyes and smiled:
"But I need to finish what I have to do."
Hearing this,
Xu Yinhe slowly lowered his eyes, sat down on his knees, closed his eyes to rest, and uttered two words:
"Please."
"."
The words fell silent.
It was like a substantial murderous intention, causing the surrounding space to become faintly distorted.
Ran Jianli half-closed his eyes and grinned.
He didn't say anything, and just watched these two men who had struggled for a common ideal all their lives fighting against each other on their deathbed.
However, Ran Jianli actually didn't understand why Xu Yinhe dared to go out alone at this juncture.
No matter how you look at it, the emperor's invitation to the Northern Hunting before his death was a Hongmen Banquet hosted by the royal family, a Hongmen Banquet aimed at the leaders of the clan alliance and the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Ran Jianli's willingness to attend this frightening feast was forced by the situation.
He needed to know whether the emperor was going to attack the Prime Minister's Mansion or their clan alliance before he died. He also needed the prestige of attending the meeting alone to consolidate his position in the clan alliance.
But long before he left for Di'an, Ran Jianli was already prepared to die.
But Xu Yin He's situation is completely different from his.
Ran Jianli could die and be replaced for the clan alliance, but for the Prime Minister's Mansion, Xu Yinhe was indispensable.
Although both sides are leaders of their respective camps, he, Ran Jianli, is more of a talker than the leader of the clan alliance. Without him, although the clan alliance will fall into temporary chaos, it will still function and choose. The next leader of the clan alliance will take charge of the overall situation.
And if the Xiangguo Mansion loses Xu Yinhe, the centralized system may continue to operate as usual in a short period of time, but if the time is slightly longer, the problem they face may not be as simple as chaos, and it is very likely to collapse directly.
Xu Yinhe dared to attend the meeting this time.
Is it because of Xu Yuan, the boy who can kill a thousand swords?
Ran Jianli couldn't judge this.
Although he doesn't want to admit it, Xu Changtian is indeed a kid who can kill a thousand swords beyond common sense.
But the problem is that no matter how extraordinary the existence is, it is impossible to succeed Xu Yinhe in a short period of time.
While the Prime Minister's Palace infiltrates the Zong Alliance, the Zong Alliance is also constantly eroding the Prime Minister's Palace. Therefore, as the leader of the Zong Alliance, Ran Jianli knows very well what it takes to secure his position as the leader of the Prime Minister's Palace.
It is no exaggeration to say that if he, the leader of the sect alliance, is allowed to take up the position of the head of the Xiangfu, I am afraid that he will not be able to do what Xu Yinhe does in a short time.
between thoughts,
Ran Jianli gradually calmed down and interrupted the tense situation between the two of them with a smile:
"Your Majesty, Prime Minister, if you have no intention of taking action here, why not start a hunting tour?"
Ran Jianli could sense that the two people had locked Qi Ji, but he didn't believe at all that the two had completely broken up.
Who wouldn’t do fake actions and fake news?
Regarding internal interests, there is indeed a lot of internal fighting within the clan alliance, but with a few words and the death of thousands of top soldiers, it is a bit too insulting to make the clan alliance believe that the emperor has broken up. IQ?
If you want to make the Zongmeng believe that the emperor and the prime minister are breaking up, of course it is possible, then you need to come up with something real.
At the very least, Emperor, you have to kill the Prime Minister here, right?
But now I have been dawdling for a long time without taking any action, just staring with big eyes.
We are all human beings, why are we pretending to be such big-tailed wolves here?
in silence,
Li Yaoxuan took a deep breath and spit it out in the form of white mist:
"Prime Minister, you are saying this as if I want you to be buried."
"."
As Ran Jianli thought, Li Yaoxuan did not take action, but this act of giving in was a bad signal for him.
There were only three of them present. If the emperor didn't beat the prime minister, who else could he beat?
But nothing is absolute.
Xu Yinhe's behavior of going to the meeting alone was too weird.
With the old guy's methods, it would be impossible for him to commit such a death-defying act without leaving a backup plan.
Thinking of this,
Ran Jian glanced at Li Yaoxuan closely.
Perhaps the emperor was waiting for Xu Yinhe to show off.
I just don't know what means Li Yaoxuan will use to force Xu Yinhe's backhand out.
Just thinking,
Li Yaoxuan suddenly clapped his hands and said loudly:
"Big companion, please bring that auspicious beast up."
"Oh? What kind of auspicious beast?" Ran Jianli asked.
Li Yaoxuan smiled and replied: "Liuxuelu."
While talking,
Eunuch Nie had already led a white deer to the side of the Emperor's palace.
In the continuous drizzle, the white deer's fur is as clear as glass, its eyes are as bright as the lake, and the five-color divine light is flowing around it. It is walking in the sky, and the cyclone is rolling up the drizzle.
Seeing this beast, Ran Jianli showed a hint of surprise:
"This is a rare and strange beast."
Liuxuelu has an affinity with heaven and earth. Wherever he goes, precious treasures of heaven and earth are often born. After reaching adulthood, they all have the cultivation of the original realm. However, they have a gentle temperament and do not like to hurt others. They treat those who peek just as little as Sweep away with a hurricane.
Over time, Liuxuelu became the auspicious beast among the top tiers of the dynasty.
Li Yaoxuan smiled slightly and stood up from the futon.
Xu Yinhe opened his eyes and asked softly:
"Your Majesty, are we going to hunt this deer in the north today?"
Ran Jianli smiled strangely:
"The glazed snow deer palm is yangfeng, and it leaves no trace when it steps on the void. But for us, just hunting it is a bit too simple?"
Hunting activities are basically an opportunity for the juniors to perform. For the three most powerful saints, their cultivation lies here. Not to mention the auspicious beasts of the Origin Realm, even the transformed monsters, as long as they are not IQ is just a matter of shooting one stone.
"Master, don't be impatient."
Li Yao
Ran Jianli raised his eyebrows, feeling a little interested. He glanced at it and knew the material of the wooden bow:
"A mortal bow with only two stones?"
"Use the power of this bow to prevent it from breaking into pieces, and then use your own methods."
Saying,
He glanced at Xu Yinhe, who showed no expression, and asked, "Xiangguo, what do you think?"
Xu Yinhe pondered for a while and asked:
"Are there any arrows?"
"Of course there is."
Li Yaoxuan casually threw three wooden sticks without arrows and tail feathers on the ground, and rolled away a few feet in front of the three people's eyes.
"."
Hearing this, Ran Jianli narrowed his eyes thoughtfully.
Ordinary things cannot carry the energy of the source. Although the Holy Source is an exception, excessive amounts can easily break the mundane things.
To use this wooden bow to hunt Glaucous Snow Deer, you need to pour the Holy Source into the bow body first, meticulously and evenly soaking every corner, and then attach the Killing Holy Source to the wooden stick.
Ran Jianli glanced at the Liuxue deer under the palace with his mind and soul, only to find that the white deer looked like an ordinary person just by looking at Yuan Qi.
After sensing this, Ran Jianli frowned unconsciously.
The Snow Deer itself is extremely fast, and the wind surrounding it has a strong evasive effect on entities such as arrows. It is completely fanciful to rely on this mortal bow to shoot the Snow Deer.
He can't do it.
Thinking of this, Ran Jianli's pupils shrank slightly.
He suddenly realized what the emperor wanted to do.
Li Yaoxuan.
Do you want to test Xu Yin He's cultivation?
Subconsciously, Ran Jianli glanced at the middle-aged man in black who was a foot away from him, his eyes full of vigilance.
Li Yaoxuan understood the prime minister better than he did.
He must have done this because he thought Xu Yinhe could do this.
So,
How high does this guy's cultivation level have to be?
With his thoughts at this point, Ran Jianli was a little afraid to continue thinking.
Because if this guess is true,
He somewhat understood the reason why the prime minister dared to go to the meeting alone.
But this guess is a bit too absurd.
Ran Jianli took a deep breath and suggested:
"Xiangguo, you come first?"
Li Yaoxuan echoed:
"Yin He, I haven't seen you take action for more than twenty years, so I'll leave this chip to you, how about it?"
Under the gaze of the two,
Xu Yinhe's pitch-black eyes were bottomless, the back of his hand gently stroked the black robe, and he stood up from the futon unhurriedly:
"I seem to have no choice."
Li Yaoxuan handed the wooden longbow to his old friend and said with a smile:
"There's always something to prove."
[Prove that you, Xu Yinhe, have the strength to break out of the military siege alone. 】
The picture is poor and the dagger can be seen.
Just as Xu Yinhe understood him, Li Yaoxuan also understood this old friend who shared the same ambition.
This old friend has always insisted on the original vision, and to achieve that vision, he needs to cooperate with the royal family, so this old friend knows that this is a Hongmen Banquet aimed at him, but he still goes to the banquet as scheduled.
And at this moment,
Knowing that this was a trial involving life and death, Xu Yinhe still had to accept it.
No answer,
The emperor, the imperial advisor, and the tens of thousands of soldiers would immediately form a siege around him.
Regardless of whether he can break out of the siege,
The emperor and his ministers will all fall apart.
Xu Yinhe could only shoot the mortal snow deer with this wooden bow.
Proved his own strength,
Only when he proves that he can defeat a siege alone can this Hongmen Banquet be resolved.
And it's only temporarily resolved.
This is Li Yaoxuan's first test of Xu Yinhe before his deadline is approaching.
The purpose was to find out the depth of Prime Minister Dayan's cultivation and prepare for the next siege.
Does Xu Yinhe know this?
Of course he knows.
But he must do it.
For their lifelong ideals.
Thinking of this, Li Yaoxuan sighed in his heart.
The essence of this hunting trip to the north is actually the process of him trampling on the ideals of the two of them.
in silence,
Eunuch Nie cut off the reins of Liuxue Lu. In an instant, the white deer stepped on the ground and turned into a white shadow, galloping away like lightning towards the forest of Huanglong Mountain.
Xu Yinhe silently took the wooden bow and took a slender wooden stick. Waves of terrifying aura began to spread around his body.
And it was at this moment,
Cumulonimbus clouds began to roll in the sky,
The sky and the earth changed dramatically, and the wind blew violently,
A thick, spiral eye gradually appeared like a giant eye in the sky.
Feeling the sense of peeping, Xu Yinhe just looked calm and pointed.
The bow is bent, the string is tight,
The air wave around him instantly swept a hundred feet in radius.
And just when this shocking arrow was about to fly out,
On the skyline filled with dark clouds, three urgent messages came at the same time—
"Master Xiangguo! The third young master presented the method of immortal tax in the court hall."
"Your Majesty! The prince has turned to the prime minister! He has used the imperial seal without permission."
as well as,
"Sect Master, run away!!"
