"Mmm ~ ~! Comfortable ~ ~! How can the grudges and grudges of the pugilistic world be more comfortable than sleeping with my wife at home? I won't leave home for so many days in the future ~! "
The next morning.
Li Zexuan stretched lazily on the bed and moaned in an extremely satisfied manner.
Han Yuxi, who was dressing up in front of the Immortal Mirror, rolled her eyes at Li Zexuan and said, "Husband, it's already morning. Shouldn't you be up to practice Taiji Fist with us ~?"
Nowadays, the Immortal Mirror was popular in Chang 'an. It was difficult for many rich families to get a mirror, but the Li family didn't lack it. Not only did Han Yuxi have a big mirror, but even Lan' er and Madam Li's rooms each had a big mirror. In this aspect, the Li family was richer than the palace because only Empress Zhangsun had a big mirror in the huge palace.
"Aiya ~! Yes, yes, yes ~! I almost forgot about the important matter ~! Wife, did you slack off every morning when I wasn't around ~? "
Li Zexuan patted his head and quickly jumped off the bed. He hugged Han Yuxi's slender waist from behind and gently blew into her ear.
"Hehe ~! Husband ~! Itchy ~! Stop fooling around ~! "
Han Yuxi laughed coquettishly and quickly turned her head. She said angrily, "Who's lazy ~? In the whole family, other than you who knows how to be lazy, who can be lazier than you ~? "
"Wow ~! My wife actually said that I'm lazy. Looks like my 'work' last night wasn't good enough ~! Let's not go out for now. Let's do it again ~! "
Li Zexuan pretended to be angry and was about to attack her.
"Ah ~ Ah ~ Ah ~ Ah ~! Snake ~! Okay, snake ~! Help ~!!! "
At this moment, Xiao He's terrified scream came from outside the door.
Li Zexuan shook his head. It looked like his good thing was going to be ruined.
.....
Taiji Palace.
The morning court was in session.
"… Ever since the court issued the decree to reduce taxes on raising chickens, every household in the Guanzhong region has raised an average of more than 70 chickens. Because many farmers have kept their eggs for hatching chickens, the price of eggs in all the provinces and counties has more than doubled. The price of eggs in Chang 'an has risen the most. Merchants have heard the news and have moved large amounts of chickens and eggs from the Jiangnan region. However, it is still a drop in the bucket. This old official earnestly requests Your Majesty to conscript ships to transport chickens and eggs from Jiangnan to stabilize the price of chickens and eggs!"
Fang Xuanling's loud voice echoed in the hall.
"I second the motion!"
As soon as Fang Xuanling finished speaking, Wei Zheng jumped out and was the first to agree. His speed was so fast that everyone was dumbfounded.
Cough cough! The main reason was that eggs were too expensive in Chang 'an recently. Wei Zheng's source of income was also very small. Now, he could not eat eggs every day. Wei Yan was very depressed ~!
Li Er looked at Wei Zheng strangely, then nodded and said, "Approved! Minister Xiao, you will be in charge of this matter! "
Xiao Yu stepped forward with a straight face and said, "This old subject obeys the decree!"
"Reporting ~!"
"Reporting to Your Majesty, the Seven Cultivators Sect was destroyed overnight. General Niu has led the army back in triumph ~!"
At this time, a soldier in bright armor entered the hall and reported loudly.
Immediately, there was a buzz of discussion in the hall.
"Heh ~! General Niu is really amazing ~! He came back so quickly ~! "
"Yeah ~! General Niu and the others are still the best at war ~! "
"He's much faster than Li Zhanshi ~!"
Previously, when Li Zexuan was defeated at Snake Spirit Mountain and returned to the court, Niu Jinda led 6,000 soldiers to attack Snake Spirit Mountain twice. Although many of them did not receive the news at first, they later heard some rumors from various places. Now, in just three days, Niu Jinda had returned in triumph. This made them praise Niu Jinda's god-like ability to command troops. At the same time, they criticized Li Zexuan's lack of experience in battle, which caused the court to lose soldiers and generals.
"Good ~! Quickly summon General Niu to the palace ~! "
Li Er's eyes flashed as he ordered in a deep voice.
"Yes ~!"
.....
"This old subject greets Your Majesty ~!"
About half an hour later, Niu Jinda came to Taiji Palace in full armor and greeted Li Er with cupped fists.
"Dispense with the formalities ~!"
Li Er stretched out his hand and said with a pleasant expression, "Jinda, you've worked hard. Snake Spirit Mountain is full of poisonous miasma, and the terrain is steep. It's easy to defend and hard to attack. Jinda, quickly tell me and the ministers how the remnants of the Seven Cultivators Sect were destroyed overnight ~!"
Niu Jinda straightened his body and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, this old subject didn't work hard. In fact, this old subject didn't contribute much to the destruction of the Seven Cultivators Sect ~!"
As soon as his voice fell, all the ministers were shocked. Only Li Er sat on the throne with a happy expression, as if everything was under his control.
"Why do you say that, Minister Niu ~?"
Although he had already guessed the result, Li Er still helped to ask the question in everyone's heart.
"As Your Majesty said earlier, the terrain of Snake Spirit Mountain is steep, and it's easy to defend and hard to attack. If we forcibly attack the mountain, although we can take down the Seven Cultivators Sect, we will inevitably suffer heavy losses. Therefore, this old subject led the army to surround Snake Spirit Mountain three days ago and didn't attack, waiting for Li Zexuan to come and fulfill his promise ~!"
At this point, many of the ministers were puzzled.
"Promise ~? What promise ~! "
"Could it be related to the Seven Cultivators Sect ~?"
Fang Xuanling, Zhangsun Wuji, Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin, and the others just smiled and didn't say anything. They were all present that day, but they couldn't help but feel shocked. After listening to Niu Jinda's words, it seemed that Li Zexuan really did what he said. He single-handedly destroyed a sect that had a peak Grandmaster and a Seven Cultivators of True Virtue Serpent, whose strength was comparable to a Great Grandmaster. This kind of thing sounded crazy ~!
Niu Jinda ignored everyone's doubts and continued, "Last night, this old subject was asleep, but I was awakened by a loud noise. This old subject went out of the tent to investigate and found that Snake Spirit Mountain had been struck by lightning and was accompanied by endless flames. In less than half an incense stick's worth of time, the mountain peak turned into a sea of fire, and I could faintly hear miserable screams coming from there.
Today, at dawn, this old subject went up the mountain with the soldiers and found that all the houses of the Seven Cultivators of True Virtue Sect had collapsed. There were corpses everywhere on the ground, and some of them didn't even have a complete corpse. Broken limbs were everywhere. After Lu Baodan, a disciple of the Seven Cultivators of True Virtue Sect who was captured earlier, identified them, the Sect Master of the Seven Cultivators of True Virtue Sect, Yin Batian, Elder Fei She, and the other thirty or so bastards were all killed ~! However, this old subject didn't find any trace of the giant beast of the Seven Cultivators of True Virtue Sect, the Seven Cultivators of True Virtue Serpent ~! "
"Hiss ~!"
After Niu Jinda finished speaking, everyone couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air.
"No wonder this old man vaguely heard the sound of thunder last night. At that time, I thought I was dreaming ~!"
"What exactly happened on Snake Spirit Mountain last night ~? How could it be so tragic ~? "
"Who did this? How could they be so ruthless ~?"
"General Niu just said that he would wait for Li Zhanshi to fulfill his promise. Could it be that Li Zhanshi did all this?"
