Once again, Li Yi felt that Bai Su was a good comrade. She was bought over by a secret prescription and a set of massage techniques. In the future, if he had any secrets, he must never tell her.
Before leaving, he still had to tell Old Man Yang something. Although Yangliuqing was no longer in the Wu Kingdom, she was still the Empress of the Wu Kingdom. Old Man Yang couldn't just focus on practicing martial arts and ignore the state affairs. He also couldn't be too involved in it. If things got out of hand … he had to talk to him about the limits.
Bai Su watched him leave. She rested her hands on her chest and looked at his back. An imperceptible smile appeared on her face.
Finally, Li Yi didn't have to worry about the affairs of the Wu Kingdom anymore. After everything here was over, it was already the beginning of July when he and Ruyi and the others returned to the city of Ruyi.
During this period of time, everything seemed to be very stable. Nothing major happened.
Until the second day after they returned to the city of Ruyi.
MIngzhu came over with a secret letter and handed it to him.
Although MIngzhu was no longer in the capital city, many important matters in the court would still be passed to her quickly.
Li Yi opened the secret letter and took out a piece of paper.
There was only a short line on the paper.
On the third of June, the Kingdom of Wei surrendered.
Li Yi didn't know much about the small countries in the west. He looked at her and asked, "Which country is the Kingdom of Wei?"
MIngzhu sat down beside him and said, "The last country in the west."
In other words, Zhao Yi only used a few months to make those small countries in the west perish and surrender. Today, the situation of the three countries of Qi, Jing, and Wu was officially formed.
In other words, if Zhao Yi wanted to rule the world, his next target would be either the Wu Kingdom or the Jing Kingdom.
"It's not that pessimistic." MIngzhu shook her head and said, "The reason why the Qi Kingdom was able to sweep through the countries in the west in such a short time was because they relied on the advantage of the Heavenly Wrath. Now that their Heavenly Wrath has been depleted, they won't be able to gain the upper hand in a battle against us unless there's a weather problem that renders the Heavenly Wrath useless."
"What's more, they destroyed the Zhao Kingdom and those small countries at a rapid pace. They won't be able to settle down in a short period of time. Just the rebellions that need to be suppressed everywhere are enough to give them a headache."
Back then, Li Yi had already felt that the Qi Kingdom's swift and reckless act of annihilating the Zhao Kingdom would leave behind serious hidden dangers. This was not Zhao Yi's style.
Later on, he didn't care and continued the western expedition, which was even more out of Li Yi's expectations.
Although they had destroyed the Zhao Kingdom and those small countries, given the appetite of the Qi Kingdom, they might not be able to swallow so many at once. The biggest possibility was that the areas they conquered would be reduced to the same state as the Wu Kingdom a few years ago, where warlords would divide the territories and heroes would rise …
This was a situation that gave Li Yi a headache just by thinking about it. Until now, he still couldn't figure out what Zhao Yi was so anxious about.
No matter what Zhao Yi was anxious about, the Wu Kingdom and the Jing Kingdom were anxious.
Yangliuqing had just arrived when the Wu Kingdom sent an urgent memorial to him. The State Council had already sent envoys to form an alliance with the Jing Kingdom to resist the Qi Kingdom.
At the same time, the decision of the Jing Kingdom's imperial court was also sent to MIngzhu. They expressed the same thoughts as the Wu Kingdom.
The Qi Kingdom was indeed powerful, but if Zhao Yi wasn't lucky enough to develop Divine Punishment, the gap between hot weapons and cold weapons would be insurmountable. Moreover, he couldn't even take care of himself now, let alone deal with the alliance between the Wu Kingdom and the Jing Kingdom.
Of course, nothing was absolute. No matter what, the alliance between the Wu Kingdom and the Jing Kingdom was necessary.
These matters were the concerns of Li Xuan, Old Man Yang, and the officials of the Jing Kingdom and the Wu Kingdom. Li Yi planned to stay in Ruyi City for a few days to accompany Ruoqing and Zuimo before leaving for Qing 'an Prefecture.
This time, he couldn't let Ruyi escape again.
The temperature in the mountains was just right. Even at noon, it didn't seem too hot.
Li Yi moved the rocking chair under a tree. A gentle breeze blew, and the shadows of the trees swayed, making a rustling sound. This was a more suitable place to take a nap than the bed in the room.
He had a dream, a dream that he had often had these days.
The figure of Miss.Liu riding on a horse always appeared in his dream. She was still so condescending, looking at him with indifferent eyes, just like when they first met.
Today's dream was different. He looked at Miss.Liu on the horse, and as he looked, she disappeared, replaced by Li Xuan's appearance …
This was a horrible nightmare.
Li Yi opened his eyes in shock and saw Li Xuan standing beside him, looking at him.
Li Yi let out a sigh of relief. It was just a dream, and he hadn't woken up from it yet.
Li Xuan played with two black objects in his hands and said, "I found two magnets. Why do they attract each other, and then repel each other?"
Li Yi patted his face and then pinched it.
It hurt.
He almost jumped out of the rocking chair. He looked at him and said in shock, "Why are you here?"
Li Xuan glanced at him and asked, "Why can't I be here?"
"The Qi Kingdom has already destroyed the Zhao Kingdom and the countries in the west. Their next target might be the Jing Kingdom. What are you doing here instead of staying in the capital?"
"It's because of this that I'm here." Li Xuan thought about it and said, "This place is closer to the Qi Kingdom, and also closer to the Wu Kingdom. Orders can reach the frontlines in the shortest time possible, so I'm here."
Li Yi had always felt that he was quite shameless, but compared to Li Xuan, he was still far from it.
Zhao Yi had destroyed the last country in the west more than a month ago. Now that Li Xuan had appeared in front of him, it meant that he had set off at least two months ago. Could it be that he could foresee the future?
Based on this, he had actually set off in a hurry three months after he and MIngzhu had left the capital …
Li Yi looked at him and asked with a frown, "You left the Crown Prince in the capital when he's not even a year old yet?"
Li Xuan looked behind him, and Li Yi looked over. Wang Qin was holding a baby and talking to Ruyi, and Shen Su was standing beside her.
He thought about it. Li Xuan had dragged his family and brought a child over, so the journey must have been even slower. In other words, he didn't even wait until he and MIngzhu had left the capital for three months. Perhaps it was two months, or even earlier?
"I can't bear to part with Ze 'er …" Li Xuan sighed and said, "He's still so young, he won't be happy being the Emperor …"
The Li Family had finally recovered a little of their humanity, and this was something to be happy about.
"Why haven't you and MIngzhu married yet?" Li Xuan frowned at him and said, "Hurry up and have a son. You already have two sons, give birth to another one to be the Emperor. In any case, MIngzhu also has the blood of the imperial family, and the child she gives birth to will also have the surname Li …"
Li Yi took back his earlier thoughts. It had only been a few months, but Li Xuan had completely lost his humanity.
Shouning held Yong Ning's hand and ran over happily. She asked, "Brother, now that you and sister-in-law have come, are you going back?"
Li Xuan smiled and said, "I'm not going back."
"…"
Li Yi finally found the reason for his uneasiness these past few days. Trouble had come, and once it had come, it wouldn't leave.
When Li Xuan moved his family to Ruyi City, the happiest person was Li Duan. He couldn't wait to take Xiao Rui to the largest amusement park in the Prince's Mansion.
"To be honest, what I said just now, you should consider it." Li Xuan looked at him and said, "Ze 'er is my first son. I plan to pass on all my knowledge to him so that he can continue my research in the future. This way, he can't be the Emperor … I originally wanted MIngzhu to be the Emperor, but if your son becomes the Emperor, it will be the same …"
Li Yi said resolutely and decisively, "I won't consider it."
Li Xuan turned his head and looked at Yangliuqing, who was not far away. He asked, "Why is your Martial Niece Empress here?"
A look of surprise suddenly appeared on his face. He immediately said, "Could it be that she has the same idea?"
Li Yi lay back on the rocking chair. He had nothing left to live for.
Each and every one of them thought that his Ruyi City was some kind of place. Those who didn't know better would think that he was not only a Grandmaster but also an Emperor …
Fang walked in from outside. He looked at Li Yi with an indescribable expression.
He finally came back to his senses and said, "Young Master, someone is looking for you."
"Who?" Li Yi asked casually.
"Zhao Yi."
