Chapter 391 The emperor takes turns to be Xixi, can he also sit? Should I call you Li Bansheng or the Monkey King? [Seeking monthly votes]
Crack, crack—!!! The leaden clouds piled up, thick and heavy for thousands of miles, and the spring thunder rolled in them like dragons and snakes! The roaring sound was like the rolling power of heaven, descending on every corner of the world.
On the White Jade Square.
Above the queen's graceful face, her red lips parted slightly, and her cold voice echoed endlessly.
Listening to the resounding sound, Li Che, holding Xixi's hand, couldn't help but pause slightly, and his face instantly became gloomy.
He looked as gloomy as dripping water, and deep in his eyes, there was even a hint of extremely sharp light.
Crown Princess?!
Li Che felt a chill in his heart, and the gentle expression on his face suddenly turned into an extremely cold gesture. He had never thought that such a drama would happen at the end of the Peach Festival.
Reward Xixi with the position of Crown Princess? The point is, there is not even a Crown Prince...but Xixi is destined to be the Crown Princess?
Such a condescending reward really made Li Che's anger deep in his heart burst out.
Once his daughter is involved, Li Che's anger becomes uncontrollable.
After getting the leader of the young dragons and receiving such a reward, Li Che had to bring his daughter to express his gratitude?
Beside him, Xixi frowned immediately, hugged Xixi's thigh, and raised her head: "Daddy, Xixi doesn't want to be a crown princess!"
Li Che lowered his head, his face suddenly became gentle: "What Crown Princess? We don't care. With Daddy here, don't worry, Xixi. If you don't want something, no one can stop you."
Upon hearing this, Xixi let out a breath, put one hand on her waist, puffed out her little belly, and put a smiling expression on her face.
No matter who says this, as long as Daddy speaks, Xixi feels relieved and safe.
Because Xixi knew that Daddy would never hurt Xixi! As the emperor's order was issued, the attitudes of the cultivators from all sides on the entire White Jade Square changed.
Many of the leaders of the major divine sects had expressions of watching the fun.
The leader of Tiandan Divine Sect Gu Changqing, the leader of Qibao Divine Sect Ning Caishen, the leader of Haoran Academy Bai Buyi and others all showed a half-smile.
They vaguely guessed that the emperor's order was probably intended to suppress Emperor Qianyuan Shenzong.
Li Nuanxi is the young master of Qianyuan Divine Sect and has a very high status. If she becomes the Crown Princess, it will be a blow to the Qianyuan Divine Sect's momentum. Moreover, once she becomes the Crown Princess, she will become a member of the Dajing royal family.
There will inevitably be a gap between him and the Qianyuan Divine Sect.
Would Lu Taibai allow this to happen?
So, Lu Taibai is probably going to turn against the gods. This is the capital of gods. If he does... will Lu Taibai be able to get out?
It should be said that, with Li Nuanxi as a burden, can he get out? In fact, several leaders of the Divine Sect had already guessed that when Lu Taibai showed the power of the Dao Yun Jie Sword and was refining the Dao position, the Dajing court might respond.
At least, the commoner national master Xie Yunshen would not do nothing.
God Xie Yun sits in the Lotus Pavilion, receiving letters from all over the eleven roads of Dajing every day. The news in the letters is all about the major divine sects.
This is because the Lotus Pavilion was established by Emperor Dajing, specifically to target the forces of the Eleven Divine Sects.
And Lu Taibai is about to step into the half-step divine tribulation. Once a double divine tribulation appears in the Qianyuan Divine Sect, it will be a great threat to Dajing.
As for the founder of Qianyuan Divine Sect, almost everyone knew that he was not dead, but was hiding from disaster in Guique.
Gu Changqing and others thought that the Dajing court would delay for a while, so they secretly sent people to deal with Lu Taibai and keep Lu Taibai in Shendu.
But no one would have thought that the Peach Festival had just ended and the emperor couldn't wait to show his fangs.
Bang! ! ! Lu Taibai slammed the cup in his hand onto the table.
The jade cup suddenly sank into the table, and spider-web-like cracks appeared in an instant, interweaving and spreading.
The sound of the explosion was like thunder in the sky.
Lu Taibai's silver hair was flying, his sleeves were fluttering in the wind, and the sword energy was already buzzing and clanging.
However, he had not made any move or spoken a word, his eyes swept over coldly, waiting for something.
The falling out was inevitable, and Lu Taibai could probably guess something in his mind.
It was probably that the old fox Xie Yunshen, the Imperial Preceptor of Dajing, had drugged the Emperor with some kind of magic potion, hoping to use Xixi as a medium to force Lu Taibai to turn against him at today's Peach Festival.
However, since they are going to turn against each other and overturn the table, what else should Lu Taibai care about?
The main banquet area of Qianyuan Divine Sect.
Everyone's head was buzzing.
Zhang Ya's face was also pale, her body swaying slightly, and her eyes flickered with panic.
For other people, if their daughter could marry into the royal family and become a crown princess, she would be destined to be the mother of the country in the future.
What a supreme honor it is, a blessing earned through eight lifetimes of hard work.
But... Zhang Ya doesn't want this blessing! In the Lotus Pavilion.
Lu Chi was struck by lightning, stunned like a wooden chicken, his whole body was shaking as if he was frozen in place.
Meanwhile, the state teacher Xie Yunshen, who was standing nearby, stroked his beard and smiled, his smile becoming more and more meaningful.
Of course, there was also a hint of surprise in his eyes.
This was not the advice he gave to the emperor. He just wanted His Majesty to grant Xixi marriage in public after the Peach Festival.
But I never expected that the emperor would actually promise to reserve a princess...
Almost everyone's eyes were cast on the two figures, one big and one small, on the White Jade Square.
The atmosphere in the quiet Baiyu Square is dull yet eerie.
The spring rain drops on the white bricks and stones, making a slight muffled sound.
The silence that lasted for a while was finally broken as Li Che held Xixi's hand and slowly raised his head.
Li Che's gaze moved, first landing on the queen, and then looking at the emperor who was sitting on a high chair, with an unfathomable aura and a terrifying aura.
However, Li Che has not spoken yet.
The Queen turned her head and looked at the Emperor: "Your Majesty, are you serious?"
Countless eyes shifted again and all fell on the emperor whose face could not be seen clearly and whose majesty was as overwhelming as a mountain.
The eldest prince, the second prince, and the third prince all began to breathe rapidly.
They all stared at the emperor, as if trying to determine the meaning of his words and thinking about the meaning of his order.
Li Che also stared at the emperor.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the emperor slowly stood up, his burly body swaggering, his bright yellow dragon robe fluttering in the spring breeze, and countless spring raindrops were instantly torn apart like a curtain.
Under the misty face with divinity and vitality as majestic as a mountain, the eyes are like the sun and stars.
Speak up, no doubt.
"Don't joke."
Wow! ! ! The emperor's words were like a huge rock thrown into a lake, causing a huge uproar.
Immediately, starting from the White Jade Square, the Second and Third Cities of the Divine Capital were all filled with chaotic whispers and discussions.
Li Che let out a breath. He could feel Xixi's hand holding his hand tremble slightly, and it seemed that with this tremor, Li Che's heart also trembled violently.
Li Che's eyes were cold as he looked at the emperor, whose words left no room for questioning. His black hair fluttered in the wind as he stared at the emperor indifferently.
He pushed Xixi behind him, like a tall mountain, standing in front of his daughter, blocking all the wind and rain.
When he spoke, his voice was as light as the breeze.
"We, father and daughter, refuse this reward."
There was also no room for doubt in his words.
Facing the emperor's pressure and the overwhelming momentum of the audience, Li Che spoke so calmly.
"My daughter said she doesn't want to be a crown princess."
"That's naturally..."
“No.”
The words have been spoken.
The atmosphere in the entire square was completely frozen, and the eyes of the strong men from all sides were flickering.
This is... disobedience!
Buzz——
An extremely sharp sword intent vented and spread, the silver sword light clanged, and the sword energy was like a strong wind, instantly evaporating all the spring rain in the sky.
Lu Taibai's sleeves were filled with sword energy, and he instantly landed on the White Jade Square and came to the side of Li Che and Xixi.
"Your Majesty, if my disciple doesn't want to, please don't force it."
Lu Taibai said calmly.
"Otherwise, what's the harm in disobeying the order?"
"If your majesty wants to target me, just come after me directly. What's the point of going after a little kid?"
"Crown Princess... Your Majesty wants to appoint a Crown Princess to a six-year-old girl. This is really ridiculous. Your Majesty hasn't even decided on the Crown Prince, so what is the point of having a Void Crown Princess?"
"Your Majesty thinks highly of Xixi, why don't you give up your position as emperor to Xixi?"
Lu Taibai's silver hair was flying, and in the mud ball between his eyebrows, the sword of Tao Yun was brewing!
"presumptuous!!!"
"Lu Taibai, how bold!!!"
"How dare you be so rebellious, Lu Taibai!"
…
The moment Lu Taibai finished speaking, it was like a thunderclap, causing a huge uproar.
The second prince and the third prince both stood up instantly, slammed the table and shouted angrily.
There were also some high-ranking officials who scolded him.
The emperor's eyes also sank.
What Lu Taibai said was really outrageous. What did he mean by not letting Xixi sit on his throne? That was the position of the ruler of a country, how could he just give it up?! The atmosphere suddenly became tense, and the aura of terror was intertwined on the white jade square. Indistinctly, the air was twisted, as if a thunderstorm was about to fall! Lu Taibai's sword was clanging, and he gathered his sleeves and put them behind his back, with an extremely brilliant light bursting out of his eyes.
Without retreating, he looked at the emperor coldly.
And in the midst of this tit-for-tat.
Suddenly, a cute voice rang out.
曦曦拉了拉李澈的袖子，用压低的声音，好奇的问道：“爹爹……宗主师父所说的皇帝的位置，曦曦也能坐吗？”
“好坐吗？”
“若是可以的话，曦曦才不要当什么太子妃，曦曦想要做……”
这问话声音并不大。
但是，在场强者都何等强者，大神谱、天门关上的强者都汇聚了个齐整。
所以，曦曦的话语，几乎如雷般响彻，惹来一道道诧异的目光。
曦曦那“曦曦大帝”四个字几乎到了唇间，又给硬生生的憋了回去。
诸多强者那凌厉如刀锋般的目光，着实吓了曦曦一跳。
李澈眉心泥丸震动，天地魂扩散开来。
替曦曦挡下了所有目光之中蕴含的威压，揉了揉曦曦的脑袋。
这小丫头还真敢想啊。
不过，如今李澈也不需要给皇帝什么面子了。
对方都将主意打到了曦曦身上。
不管对方的目的是什么，是否是为了逼迫吕太白站出来抗旨，找一个对乾元神宗出手的由头。
对方盯上曦曦便是盯上，撕破脸已然是必须。
对于皇权，李澈从来没有多么在乎与畏惧，骨子里也没有那种天生对皇权的恐惧。
所以，他轻轻一笑：“那个位置啊……有德者轮流坐之，曦曦若是想坐，可要努力变成一个有德之人。”
曦曦闻言，眼睛顿时不由的明亮了起来。
“那曦曦还有机会喽？”
曦曦问道。
一旁的吕太白听着这奇葩父女的对谈，顿时忍不住哈哈大笑起来。
虽然是起于微末，但是并未对皇权有多少恐惧，甚至，敢当着皇帝煌煌威压面前，谈论……皇位能否坐一坐的话题。
当真是大逆不道啊！
但，不愧是他吕太白的亲传啊！高台之上。
皇帝双眸迸发出了冷酷之意，眉头蹙起，曦曦的话语，不知道为什么……竟是让他心头微微一跳。
“放肆！”
“吕太白还有李澈，你们是要抗旨不成？”
皇帝沉声道。
“抗旨的代价……你们可清楚？”
李澈看向吕太白。
“宗主，一人做事一人当，这件事与乾元神宗无关，抗旨的是我，乃我个人之家事。”
李澈说道，他不愿意连累吕太白。
对方的目的，就是为了逼迫吕太白站出来，但李澈若是愿意，以他如今的实力，带着曦曦和妻子张雅，远走高飞，毫无问题。
他有这份底气。
吕太白袖子一抖，鎏银般的太白剑顿时从中滑落而出，被他攥握于手中。
“废什么话，说实话，是乾元神宗连累了你们，而不是你们连累乾元神宗……”
“朝廷想要对付神宗也不是一天两天了，今天是乾元，明日便兴许是玄符、七宝、天丹……都有可能。”
吕太白淡淡说道。
随后，他眸光一转，落在了莲花阁那位黑白参半发丝的布衣国师身上。
“谢运神……这应该又是你的计策吧？想要对付我乾元，便堂堂正正的来，想要以如此手段逼我抗旨，继而让大景朝廷有借口对付乾元神宗的同时……”
“又不会激起其他神宗的抗拒，因为是我乾元神宗抗旨在先，对吧？”
吕太白冷冷的说道，身上的剑意越发的高涨，银色光辉好似月盘般，几乎要将空气都给斩开！
他的话语落下，便是惹得各大神宗宗主的神色俱是微微变化。
谢运神闻言，却是慢悠悠的站起身，布衣被春雨沾湿，他撑着油纸伞，看上去有种弱不禁风之感。
但没有人敢真正将他当做弱不禁风之人。
谢运神无辜的看着吕太白：“乾元宗主想太多了，让李暖曦成为太子妃，这是陛下的赏赐啊！多大的赏赐啊，未来可是能够成为西王母诡异庙的少庙司！”
“可以与这座三清诡异庙，有极大的庙神共鸣机会，甚至有机会得获万年蟠桃的机会！”
“这可是天大的恩赐啊！怎么能如此揣测陛下的用心了？”
谢运神摇了摇头，叹息说道。
请...您....收藏_6_9_书_吧（六//九//书//吧）
“太白宗主这般大放厥词，这般大逆不道……才是最大的罪过。”
“陛下，终究是这大景十一道，坐镇山河社稷的皇帝！”
“岂能由你这般大放厥词！”
谢运神话语说到后面，带上几分厉色。
明明身上只有微弱的修为波动，竟是迸发出一股极其强大的压迫感。
吕太白嗤笑一声，对于谢运神的手段却是早有预料，这位巧舌如簧的国师，嘴巴里的话语，没一句是可信的。
不过，谢运神眸光一扫，落在了李澈的身上，带上了几分遗憾之色。
“李半圣，你不该拒绝陛下……”
谢运神轻声道，随后拍了拍身边，那一脸呆滞，完全陷入了茫然状态的吕赤。
吕赤浑身顿时打了个激灵。
疑惑的看向了谢运神。
“四殿下都已经把所有事情告诉老夫了……”
谢运神眯起眼，道。
“当初在飞雷城，四殿下与你们一家可是相处过一段时间，所以，四殿下知晓你的身份啊，李半圣。”
“你戴上面具的样子……吕赤殿下可都告诉老夫了。”
“老夫是该喊你李半圣呢，还是喊你……地府，神猴。”
哗哗哗哗哗——
春雨雨势一下子竟是变得磅礴了起来！噼里啪啦的打落在了白玉广场之上。
在神都诸多建筑的黑瓦屋顶之上，冲刷宣泄打起了无数白蒙蒙的轻纱般。
随着谢运神的话语落下。
整个白玉广场，瞬息变得死寂
一道又一道的目光，带着惊骇，带着错愕，带着……贪婪，纷纷落在了那一席墨衫，天地魂隔绝撑开春雨，挡在女儿身前，为女儿撑起天地的李澈身上。
“李半圣……便是神猴？！”
“地府神猴？李半圣难道真的是地府神猴？倒是真有可能啊……随心金铁神杆，乃是在乾元神宗的神雕岭被神猴取走，而李半圣那时候也在！”
“而且听闻神猴取走神雕，还得到了李半圣的相助呢！”
“对啊，李半圣相助了神猴，又怎么会是神猴？”
“呵呵，你怕是小看了神雕半圣的神雕技艺了？雕刻出一尊以假乱真的分身可不算难，佛门三世身，每一世身都栩栩如生，与真人无异，不就是神雕所制？”
……
当猜忌如野火般落下，瞬息就有燎原般的趋势。
窃窃私语声，根本压抑不住，宛如风暴般飞速的扩张。
白玉广场中。
李澈面色如常，但是他身后的曦曦，却是面色刹那间变得苍白了起来，不可置信的看向吕赤，仅有的血色都被彻底的抽走。
吕太白也被整不会了，心头不由波动起来。
因为，吕赤与李澈一家生活过，这事情……他还真听说过。
这吕赤……竟然背刺曦曦？！
“吕赤！你个混蛋！”
曦曦攥着拳头，怒斥出声。
李澈叹了口气，揉了揉曦曦的脑袋，这小丫头……被谢运神给唬了啊。
吕赤知晓的是他牛魔的身份，可不是什么神猴……
这谢运神，完全是在诈曦曦而已。
不过，哪怕似乎如此……
吕赤应该也跟谢运神说过了关于他李澈是牛魔的事情。
吕赤曾经发誓过，他不会说。
可如今……终究还是说了。
既然说了。
那便是……背刺了。
曦曦只是个六岁的小孩，遭逢背刺，控制不了自身喜怒，却也是正常。
谢运神捋须笑了起来。
曦曦的这神态，基本上……就已经足以说明问题了。
而吕赤如遭雷击，整个人不住的抖动，颤栗不休，他忿怒，不解，惊疑的盯着谢运神。
谢运神只是轻轻揉了揉吕赤的脑袋。
“放心吧……你不是背刺，你只是在做一个正确的选择。”
“你做出的这个选择，或许会成为你跻身太子最大的筹码，你不愿当太子吗？”
“只有成为太子，才有迎娶太子妃的资格……”
谢运神轻轻揉着吕赤的大脑袋，让吕赤面容上不禁浮现出了挣扎之色。
娶太子妃……
父皇刚刚赐婚太子妃……
“我……我……”
吕太白的心彻底乱了。
白玉广场之中。
李澈吐出一口气，扫了那国师谢运神一眼，好一个狡诈之辈，连一个孩子都要这般攻心算计。
但是，李澈对吕赤也没有好脸色。
“国师是吧？没有证据……可莫要乱扣身份，神猴在神雕岭的诡异庙中取得随心金铁神杆的时候，我亦是在考验之中，可惜，我棋差一着……”
李澈淡淡说道。
“当时，有不少神宗修士都看到了，可莫要没有证据，空口无凭的污蔑我……”
“一个孩子的话语，又如何能当真呢？”
“况且，吕赤与曦曦早已闹掰，小孩子之间闹了矛盾，说些气话却也正常。”
谢运神撑着油纸伞，轻轻一笑：“哦，那也许真是小孩子之间闹掰的气话，不过，便请李半圣留下让镇庙司的叶总督司调查一番……”
“调查……呵。”
吕太白大笑起来。
“到时候，黑的都被尔等说成白的！”
"Don't pay any attention to them."
Lu Taibai's eyes were sharp and filled with murderous intent. The clanging of sword energy transformed into a sword cloud that enveloped Li Che and Xixi.
"Let's go!"
Boom——!!! The sword energy was like swaying weeds, clanging and soaring into the sky.
The emperor stood on the high platform. Even though his face could not be seen clearly, one could tell that his expression was terribly gloomy.
The bright yellow robe fluttered, and his eyes gradually became colder.
What Xie Yunshen said... He really hadn't expected it.
Li Che...is the monkey god of the underworld?
That great eunuch is predicting that someone will hold the divine rod of gold and iron, climb up the tower of Qitian City, and wreak havoc and shake the country of Dajing? !
"What the Imperial Master said makes sense. Let General Ye investigate. If Li Bansheng is not the divine monkey from the underworld, I will compensate him."
"Don't worry. We won't imprison you or harm you during the investigation. You can just stay in the capital for a while longer."
The emperor suddenly waved his sleeves and spoke in a deep voice.
The words have been spoken.
Li Che's black hair fluttered as he was engulfed by Lu Taibai's sword energy: "If you want to accuse someone, you can always find a pretext."
"Besides... Your Majesty, you are so stingy with the reward for the Peach Festival. Do you think that I, a special guest of the Imperial Observatory, a Half-Saint of the Divine Condor... would want your compensation?"
Li Che finished speaking.
The emperor's face suddenly became even darker.
However, the emperor said no more and waved his hand gently.
In an instant.
An extremely powerful aura suddenly rose into the sky, and the blood and energy surged, as if an ancient ferocious beast had suddenly revived.
Then, three more powerful and terrifying qi and blood followed closely behind! Bursting out from the four corners of the White Jade Square, the four powerful qi and blood intertwined into the phantoms of divine beasts that stretched across and pressed down, creating a terrifying feeling of suffocation that froze all the spring rain in the sky.
It was none other than the four great commanders of the Divine Capital Mysterious Guards, Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermillion Bird, and Black Tortoise! The four most powerful ones!
They are also the four most powerful people under the command of Emperor Dajing! This is the power of the Dajing court!
Although there are eleven divine sects in the Eleven Daos of Dajing, in fact, the Dajing Imperial Court is the real powerful force. It can produce many more top-level masters and top-level gods than a single divine sect! Boom——!!! The first one to burst out with blood and energy, the blue-armored strong man, every piece of the blue armor on his body is made of real dragon scales!
This person is none other than Qinglong, the leader of the Four Mysterious Guards! The moment the emperor waved his hand, Qinglong took action!
Amid the sound of the spring rain, a series of thunderclaps suddenly rang out!
However, the green dragon lashed out with one arm, and the qi and blood separated from the condensation and turned into a real palm. The five fingers were bent and turned into a dragon claw with five fingers like sharp spears!
It squeezed the rolling airflow, shredded the raindrops all over the sky, and emitted a piercing sonic boom that spanned the White Jade Square, carrying with it the terrifying pressure of the top level! It dragged a huge air wave that was hundreds of feet long and fiercely hit Lu Taibai!
The dragon claw is lifelike, and every scale on it is formed by the interweaving of qi and blood, just like a flawless work of art!
The one who made the move was Qinglong, the sixth-ranked top warrior in Tianmen Pass! "Lü Taibai, since your majesty has spoken, then let's keep Li Bansheng."
A faint voice came out from Qinglong's mouth.
Lu Taibai did not hold back at all, the flesh between his eyebrows broke in an instant, and he brazenly summoned out the bloody Dao Yun Jie Sword. The terrifying Dao Yun Jie Sword turned into an extremely brilliant sword light, like a gust of divine wind blowing past.
The dragon claw was slowly chopped and exploded! Qinglong's eyes condensed, his expression changed, and there was a trace of horror in his eyes...
Dao Yun Jie Sword is indeed terrifying! Bang bang bang bang——
Continuous gas explosions shook the sky above the White Jade Square, and the raging and howling turbulence was vented wantonly.
This caused the monks in the second and third cities of the Divine Capital to be extremely terrified.
As the air current blew past, the Jianghu monks who were watching the excitement at the gate of the third city of the Divine Capital were suddenly blown to the ground and screamed in surprise.
Main banquet area.
Ji Moli laughed loudly and stood up slowly. The dark black armor clanged heavily and emitted a controlled hum. The air around him seemed to be blown up by his breath in an instant! "The underworld is related to the death of Concubine Ji. If you are really related to the underworld, this suspicion is too great and you must stay!"
"Li Che, stay!"
Ji Moli spoke.
The four disciples behind him, including Zhou Chiguo, put on armor one after another, and their bodies instantly grew bigger, swelling up like small mountains.
Ji Moli looked at the emperor and clasped his fists, "Your Majesty, my son Ji Haihui and my princess Ao Yuxin were all killed by the underworld thugs. If this Li Bansheng is really related to the underworld, I... must keep him. I want to get information about other underworld thugs from him."
"Revenge for my dead son and wife!"
The emperor glanced at the majestic Ji Moli with a complicated expression and indifferent eyes.
"good."
Ji Moli smiled lightly.
The next moment, five fingers clenched together.
A parachute gun was immediately handed to him from the hand of a son as tall as a mountain behind him.
boom--
Grasp the umbrella gun.
In an instant, the aura on his body rose steadily, roaring and surging, like a mountain rising up, like a thunder and storm crashing down!
The tip of the gun pointed far away.
Pointing at Li Che who was enveloped by Lu Taibai's sword light.
