Meanwhile, rumors circulated among the people that "Liu Xiu sent troops to capture the wicked, and barbarians from all directions gathered to fight in the wilderness, with fire as the dominant force at the time of the fourth and seventh days," which coincided with the Taoist's speculation.
Upon hearing the rumors and seeing the uprising of rebel armies, the then-state advisor Liu Xin, after conspiring with Wang She on several occasions, believed that a great event was on the horizon. Therefore, Liu Xin changed his name to Liu Xiu and began plotting to usurp the throne.
Wang Mang had naturally heard of this rumor and understood the consequences if it came true, so he was naturally not going to take it lightly.
When Wang Mang discovered that Liu Xin had any signs of plotting a rebellion, he immediately had Liu Xin killed, and then carried out a large-scale investigation and execution of all people named Liu Xiu throughout the country.
Liu Xiu, a descendant of Liu Bang, was in a panic. At this time, he and his brother raised an army in Nanyang, attacked nearby counties, and later allied with the Green Forest Army.
In order to legitimize their rule, they enthroned Liu Xuan as Emperor Gengshi.
Upon hearing that a man named Liu Xiu was among those who had risen in rebellion, Wang Mang dispatched an army of over 400,000 to suppress the rebellion.
At this time, the Green Forest Army had less than 10,000 troops. If the government troops launched a large-scale attack, Liu Xiu would not be able to withstand it.
With over 400,000 troops besieging the city, morale within the Green Forest Army wavered. Wang Feng, unable to withstand the government troops' attack, considered surrendering, but was dissuaded by those around him.
That very night, a meteorite fell from the sky and struck the Mang army camp.
Liu Xiu then led 3,000 elite soldiers to attack the main camp of Wang Mang's army. Caught off guard, Wang Mang's troops were thrown into chaos and scattered in all directions. Their commander, Wang Yi, was killed in the ensuing chaos.
In this battle, Liu Xiu defeated Wang Mang's 420,000-strong army with fewer than 10,000 men, which greatly enhanced Liu Xiu's reputation.
However, this contest did not bring Liu Xiu any success. He was still utterly defeated by Wang Mang, suffering one crushing defeat after another, and unexpectedly ended up at Yunmeng Sect.
Four days later.
Liu Xiu left.
The dragon-patterned wooden plaque rewards players with Qi Refining Level 80 and the Immortal Technique "Skyfall".
Li Ming looked at the World Tree with some anticipation, as it was said to be the stage for a contest between the chosen ones from different worlds and the chosen ones from different planes.
...
The third is Wang Lin.
The reward is a dragon-patterned wooden plaque and a causal whip.
...
The fourth is Zhuge Liang.
When Zhuge Liang launched his campaigns against Wei, he made six expeditions to Qishan. His energy was depleted day by day, and he knew that his time was short. He then entrusted his affairs to his generals.
Jiang Wei suggested using a method of praying for longevity to reverse fate. Zhuge Liang then set up seven star lamps and performed rituals involving walking the Big Dipper all day long to ward off evil.
Sima Yi, observing the stars, knew that Zhuge Liang would soon pass away, but dared not fully believe it, so he sent Xiahou Ba with troops to investigate. Unexpectedly, Wei Yan mistook it for a raid and rushed to the tent to report the news, extinguishing his natal lamp in the process.
Zhuge Liang arrived here at this time.
Li Ming helped him prolong his life.
He also told me that a mysterious woman named Diao Chan rose to power, becoming known as the Moon Fairy, and later seized power, becoming the Empress.
Li Ming was startled, and his mouth twitched.
Zhuge Liang also said that Diao Chan disappeared shortly after becoming empress, and the capital was captured, thus forming the tripartite balance of power in the Three Kingdoms period.
Four days later, Zhuge Liang left.
award……
Li Ming calculated Diao Chan's location using his fingers.
Good heavens, the person is no longer in the Three Kingdoms period? Damn, that's outrageous! Where the hell did this person go?
...
The fifth is Li Bai, whose courtesy name was Taibai, and whose pen names were Qinglian Jushi and "the banished immortal".
He enjoys drinking and practicing swordsmanship.
...
The sixth Ren Yingying.
Her appearance was stunning, like a fairy in white jade, exquisitely beautiful, radiant, and incomparably charming.
She is intelligent, decisive, shrewd, and cunning, possessing both wisdom and ruthlessness. She governs her subordinates with a combination of kindness and severity, and confronts enemies with decisiveness and cruelty, displaying remarkable intelligence and composure. This exemplifies the methods of the Holy Maiden.
Four days and four nights later, Ren Yingying left.
...
The seventh Wei Xiaobao.
...
Chen Yuanyuan, omitted.
Bao Si.
Bao Si was originally an abandoned baby who was adopted by a couple who ran a small business. She grew up in the State of Bao. In the third year of King You of Zhou's reign, King You of Zhou attacked the State of Bao, and the people of Bao offered the beautiful Bao Si to surrender.
Four days and four nights later, Bao Si left.
Pei Nanwei, four days and four nights, details omitted...
Yaoyao.
Meixi.
Flame Spirit Princess.
Trendy Fairy.
...
Aside from the four days and four nights of instruction and learning, there's nothing noteworthy about the beautiful woman mentioned above.
What is memorable and startling is that this period spanned five hundred years.
A white mirror appeared on the World Tree.
Li Ming went over to see what was going on and saw that the mirror was filled with yin energy and ghostly aura, making it somewhat eerie and terrifying.
A bloody hand suddenly emerged from the mirror.
Drag him in.
Aside from descending into Xiaolongnu's world, this is the second time Li Ming has descended into another world.
This time he didn't bring anyone with him, because before Black Dog and Green Ivy could arrive, Li Ming was forcibly dragged into a bizarre world by a single hand.
"This is unbelievable."
When Li Ming saw that it was a familiar person, he couldn't help but blurt out a sentence.
It was nighttime, and they were in a bamboo forest. Moonlight streamed down, and a girl was lying on the ground.
At eighteen, she possessed a radiant and captivating beauty, with exceptionally bright and intelligent eyes.
Her skin was as white as snow, and she wore a blood-stained wedding dress; her black hair was also stained with blood.
"This humble servant pays respects to the immortal." She tried to get up, but could not move.
"How did you get into this state?"
This woman is Nie Xiaoqian, who fell into the Yunmeng Sect many years ago.
Li Ming helped her reshape her physical body and gave her the spiritual talismans and immortal techniques from the "Dragon Armor Divine Chapter" to deal with her grandmother.
What should have been a sure win turned out to be such a mess.
Li Ming helped her up, and at the same time, his power seeped out and healed her in the blink of an eye before asking her what had happened.
Grandma and the Black Mountain Demon died but came back to life. Grandma wanted him to marry the Black Mountain Demon, so she fled everywhere for her life. In desperation, she suddenly saw a mirror.
