Chapter 108: Imperial Aura
On the other side, Li Cunxu returned to Taiyuan to ask Li Keyong for permission to attack Bianzhou, but was met with suspicion from Li Keyong.
"Big fish eat small fish, small fish eat shrimp, shrimp eat mud..."
On the way back to Huaizhou with Li Cunxu on horseback, Jing Xinmo kept gesticulating and saying something while observing Li Cunxu's reaction.
As expected, Li Cunxu did not show anything in Tongwen Hall, but after arriving here, he became more and more unwilling to give up. His sword-holding hand trembled due to excessive force, and he gritted his teeth and said:
"I'm his biological son, yet he's so wary of me. [Normal accent]"
It was clearly such a good opportunity to capture Bianzhou in one fell swoop, and he had clearly won the battle, so he would have been the emperor.
But the old man didn't trust me at all and was unwilling to hand over the Lianwenguan to me.
He said that he was afraid that the other brothers would not accept the defeat, but he had fought so many battles, captured so many cities, and occupied so much land, so how could he be better than Li Siyuan?
As long as he gives the order, who among so many brothers would disobey?
Li Cunxu now is just like Zhu Youzhen before, with no place to vent his anger.
Mirror Heart Demon pretended to lightly hold the rouge paper in her mouth, completely connecting the red makeup on her lips and cheeks.
"I have something to say from the bottom of my heart, but I don't know whether I should say it or not."
Li Cunxu changed his usual elegant demeanor and said impatiently: "Speak! [Normal accent]"
But this scene is even better in the eyes of Jing Xin Mo, he is just afraid that Li Cunxu will not take the bait.
"Your Highness, why don't you follow the example of your predecessors?"
Li Cunxiao's face changed slightly, and he asked, "What do you mean? [Normal accent]"
"Ah~" Mirror Heart Demon pretended to sigh and secretly reminded: "Let's not talk about Yang Guang and Li Shimin who are far away, there is Zhu Yougui who is nearby!"
Li Cunxu stopped his horse, drew the long sword from his waist and pointed it at him: "Mirror Heart Demon, you are so brave! [Normal accent]"
"Forgive me for being blunt, but if Your Highness wants to conquer the country, you should have such courage. This is a great opportunity. If you don't attack now, when will you attack?"
Jing Xinmo got off the horse in panic and knelt on the ground, but he still spoke bewitching words and tried to persuade Li Cunxu earnestly.
"Your Highness must know that from ancient times to the present, the emperor is the only one who does not need to consider other people's faces when doing things!"
After hearing this, Li Cunxu slowly closed his eyes, his face changing from gloomy to bright, and his heart full of hesitation.
After a moment, his rationality finally overcame his sensibility. He took a deep breath, sheathed his sword, and said firmly: "Mirror Heart Demon, march to Bianzhou! [Normal accent]"

At the same time, a group of people led by Li Xingyun went to Bingying Tomb to settle Ji Ruxue and got the hanging by the way. Then they went to Gaya Temple, passed through the Four Noble Truths Cave, and got the Buddha's robe.
Finally, under the guidance of Huiming, the former star of wisdom, the group learned that the secret of Foyi Baina was only known by Huijue, the elder of Bodhidharma Temple.
But now he was not in Gaya Temple, so after discussion, everyone decided to split into two groups.
The two teams, led by Li Xingyun and Zhang Zifan, went to Fengxiang and Xuanwu Mountain respectively, and finally met in Yuzhou City half a month later.
...
Xuanwu Mountain.
Li Siyuan looked at the empty Tianshi Mansion and was stunned for a moment, "What's going on?"
Logically speaking, even if the people from the Tianshi Mansion went down the mountain to perform rituals for the people, they wouldn't leave without anyone left like this, with no one left behind.
Moreover, when he stepped down as the Holy Lord, there was no news of any major changes in the Tianshi Mansion. How come there was no one there?
I came here with so much trouble just to try to survive for a moment, but there's no one here, so I have to change my plan.
Thinking that there might be pursuers sent by his adoptive father, he left here without stopping. Now he couldn't stay in one place for too long, so he could only look for news about Zhang Xuanling while running away.

A few more days,
Fengxiang parade ground of Qi State.
Li Maozhen had received a message from the empress earlier, and after accompanying Anton Jun to perform the play, he and several other holy ladies returned here and made their own arrangements.
At this time, he, the empress and the remaining saints were making the final pre-war mobilization on the parade ground.
Looking at the mighty and powerful soldiers around him, Li Maozhen felt like he was back in the days when he first started leading troops into battle, and he shouted passionately:
“Comrades, today under the Emperor’s heaven, we have gathered here not to fight for fame or power, but because our Qi territory has been invaded by Daliang.
Considering that in recent years, the Zhu family has killed their fathers and brothers, and has lost all conscience and ethics. It is not a pity that they deserve to die.
At this time, Zhu Youzhen led a large army to invade our territory, attempting to capture our Fengxiang and then occupy the entire Qi State.
If we really let them succeed, not only will our country of Qi be in danger, but your homes will also be in danger. Your parents will be killed, your wives will be humiliated, and your children and grandchildren will suffer. This time, the disaster for our country and our family is imminent.
You must know that the weapons in your hands are not only to protect your own lives, but also to protect the lights of the thousands of homes behind you and the vast mountains and rivers of Qi country!"
Thousands of Qi soldiers were filled with passion at these words; they already had deep feelings for the Qi State.
Although I still don't know who the masked man in front of me is, but from what he said just now and seeing the Empress and Saint Princess standing beside him.
It can also be seen that he was fighting for the State of Qi. As long as they were from the same State of Qi, they were brothers.
At this time, the Qi army all raised their weapons, beat them rhythmically on the ground, and responded loudly:
"The valiant people of Qi are here to face the national crisis! We will not stop fighting until our blood is shed!"
Feeling the high morale of the Qi army around them, Li Zhaozhao and the holy princesses also found the feeling of more than ten years ago. The Qi King Li Maozhen who commanded the three armies and was so powerful that he could conquer mountains and rivers is back!
"In this battle, those who kill the enemy will be rewarded, those who die or are injured will be granted land, and those who fear the enemy will be beheaded!"
Li Maozhen drew out the Qi Wang Sword, pointed it straight up into the sky, summoned his inner strength, and shouted with a domineering aura:
"In the battle of Fengxiang, we will make sure that Zhu Youzhen will never return!
We want the Liang Kingdom to have three emperors in one year!!!"
Thousands of Qi soldiers also shouted passionately,
"Let Zhu Liang never return!"
"Let Zhu Liang never return!"
"..."
Looking at the high morale of the Qi army around him, Li Maozhen nodded with satisfaction, "March out!"
-
Because An Dongjun helped Liang State recover lost territory, the final battle location was still controlled by him in Fengxiang.
At this time, Zhu Youzhen had led his army to this place, ten miles southeast of Fengxiang.
Because Wang Yanzhang had led a part of the troops ahead, he had now clearly seen the Qi army guarding the city, but he did not attack immediately.
Because he was a little confused when he saw the army defending the city.
As far as he knew, Qi State should not have so many soldiers. Why did it feel like they were almost the same as the nearly 200,000 troops brought by Liang State this time?
Looking more closely, why is there the military flag of Shu Kingdom?
At this moment he understood that Qi and Shu were clearly cooperating. No wonder they dared to seize Liang's land so blatantly.
But as to whether he is afraid or not, he is not afraid at all. In war, not everything can be decided by the strength of troops alone.
He didn't dare to say anything else, but he was still very confident in his ability to lead troops in battle. After all, the armies of Qi and Shu might not be very skilled in cooperation.
"Stand where you are!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Liang army began to move in an orderly manner, each taking responsibility to set up camp.
