Chapter 294 It is hard for people to like each other, and even harder for them to like each other (4000 words)

Wu Yanhan brought Xu Ming out of the princess's mansion, and they got on the carriage and left Wudu.

Xu Ming was sitting in the wobbly carriage, Shen Shengsheng was lying on Wu Yanhan's thighs and had fallen asleep. Wu Yanhan was gently stroking Shen Shengsheng's head with a gentle look on his face.

That gentle look made Xu Ming unable to take his eyes away for a moment.

"Why are you looking at me?" Wu Yanhan raised her head and glared at Xu Ming coquettishly.

In fact, Wu Yanhan had already noticed that Xu Ming had been staring at her, but she didn't expect that Xu Ming didn't restrain himself at all, and seemed to have no intention of looking away.

"Nothing." Xu Ming was very calm, "I just feel that you must be a very good mother."

"What nonsense are you talking about." Wu Yanhan took out a pastry and threw it at Xu Ming.

This time Xu Ming caught it.

Xu Ming took a bite of the pastry and said, "It would be better if you could stop throwing things away casually."

Wu Yanhan's eyes narrowed: "Dare to tease me? Are you looking for death?"

Xu Ming said helplessly: "I didn't tease you, I was telling the truth."

"you!"

"Okay, I won't say anything then."

"Hmph." Wu Yanhan snorted and turned his head away.

"By the way, there is one thing I want to ask you." Xu Ming said.

"What's the matter?" Wu Yanhan looked at Xu Ming's serious expression and knew it must be something serious.

"About King Shan." Xu Ming said.

As soon as Xu Ming finished speaking, Wu Yanhan's heart skipped a beat and he frowned, "How dare you say these two words?"

Xu Ming: “No way”

Wu Yanhan: "What do you mean?"

Xu Ming recounted what happened last night: "Yesterday, a swordsman attacked the Xu Mansion at night. Judging from his appearance, it seemed that he wanted to test me. Then he invited me to join their rebel army."

Wu Yanhan: "And then?"

"Then I refused." Xu Ming spread his hands. "What a joke, why would I rebel for no reason? I don't want to become your enemy. I just want to ask, why don't those people from King Shan give up? Could it be that these people are all crazy?"

Wu Yanhan shook his head: "These people are not crazy, but the descendants of King Shan are still alive. They want to find the descendants of King Shan and help him ascend the throne to repay King Shan's kindness."

"This King Shan is so charismatic?" Xu Ming didn't understand.

"I haven't seen him, so how would I know?" Wu Yanhan rolled his eyes at Xu Ming. "But I've heard people say that King Shan is extremely brave, clear about rewards and punishments, and has never lost a single battle. He is always the first to charge into battle, and he is courteous and humble. Many people who have nowhere else to go have served under King Shan."

Wu Yanhan sighed: "Anyway, it is really hard to describe the charm of King Shan in words, but in my opinion, if there had not been any accident at that time, the throne should have belonged to King Shan."

"Can you tell me about the accident?" Xu Ming asked.

Wu Yanhan shook his head: "It's not that I don't want to tell you, but I don't know. I even doubt whether my father knows. But I am sure that the prince at that time, that is, my great-grandfather, must have used some shameful means."

As he spoke, Wu Yanhan smiled faintly and looked at Xu Ming: "Those people are indeed strange. They actually wanted to recruit you. Don't they know that you are deeply favored by my father? What they can give is only what my father gave."

Xu Ming wanted to say: "Your father can still give you to me, but they can't."

However, Xu Ming felt that he would most likely be beaten if he said this, so he let it go.

Xu Ming shook his head: "Actually, whether it was given by your father or by that rebel, I don't care."

Wu Yanhan asked curiously: "Then what do you care about?"

Xu Ming said as a matter of course: "Of course it's you."

"What nonsense are you talking about." Wu Yanhan stretched out her delicate and white long legs from under her skirt, and kicked Xu Ming lightly with her small feet in embroidered shoes.

Xu Ming took a breath and rubbed his knee.

This girl is so rude, I must have been kicked to death.

"You deserve it!" Looking at Xu Ming rubbing his knees, Wu Yanhan tucked her hair behind her ears, turned her head, and her cheeks were flushed.

Half an hour later, the carriage gradually stopped.

Wu Yanhan also called Shen Shengsheng softly.

The three of them got off the carriage together.

This is a small empty plain surrounded by mountains.

However, the locations of these mountains are somewhat particular. They are like a natural formation, gathering spiritual energy into this small plain.

"This place is nice." Xu Ming affirmed.

In order for Xu Ming to survive the thunder tribulation, he must have sufficient spiritual power. Only in this way can Xu Ming absorb a large amount of spiritual power in time to repair his injuries when he is injured.

Secondly, this place must also have a certain protective function.

A formation has naturally formed in this place, which can weaken the thunder tribulation to a certain extent.

"Of course." Wu Yanhan placed his hands in front of him, "This place was originally the location of a sect, and then they moved away."

"Moving away voluntarily?" Xu Ming asked.

"That sect is too close to Wudu, and my father was uncomfortable with it, so he sent five thousand blood pagodas and five imperial palace priests to this place and asked them whether they would move or not. In the end, they moved away 'voluntarily'." Wu Yanhan said.

Xu Ming: “.”

"Wait a minute, this place is not ready yet." Wu Yanhan said first, fearing that Xu Ming would be in a hurry to overcome the tribulation.

Xu Ming: "What preparations?"

Wu Yanhan turned around and bowed to the driver: "Grandpa Huang, I'm leaving it to you."

Xu Ming looked at the driver.

The driver grinned, revealing his yellow teeth, and laughed, "Princess, please rest assured."

As the rain fell, the driver took off his bamboo hat and took out several formation flags from his storage bag. He inserted them around the plain and formed a lightning protection formation.

In addition, the driver drew a formation in the center of the plain.

Although Xu Ming couldn't see what kind of formation he drew, there was a faint aura of thunder and lightning on it.

After finishing all this, the driver clapped his hands, bowed to Wu Yanhan and Xu Ming and said, "Your Highness, Prince Consort, everything is ready."

"Thank you, Grandpa Huang."

"Thank you, senior."

Wu Yanhan and Xu Ming both bowed to express their gratitude.

"Princess and Prince Consort, you are so polite. I, Old Huang, will stay outside this mountain. If you need anything, just tell me."

The old man who called himself Lao Huang walked out of the plain and stayed outside the mountain to protect Xu Ming.

"Is this old gentleman a priest in the imperial palace?" Xu Ming guessed.

Xu Ming couldn’t tell his realm, which meant that the other party’s realm was most likely the immortal realm.

Wu Yanhan nodded: "Grandpa Huang has been guarding the palace for one hundred and fifty years."

Wu Yanhan took out a bag and handed it to Xu Ming: "This is for you."

Xu Ming took the bag, which was a storage bag.

“I know you are going to survive the tribulation, so I asked Grandpa Huang for advice, and then I prepared these things for you.

The Nine Revolutions Pill is used to replenish spiritual power, but you cannot eat too many of them, otherwise it will damage your spiritual veins. When you really can't do it, just take another pill.

Then this mirror is called the Thunder Mirror. Its main function is to reflect spells and even heavenly thunder. However, I don’t know what kind of heavenly thunder it can reflect.

Besides, there is another piece of clothing inside. You should change into it quickly. This piece of clothing is called Zixiao Clothes. It is the dragon robe that my father once wore and it is now worn out. I took a piece of clothing that he made for me. It has the aura of mountains and rivers on it. You are the top scholar and a civil and military official of the Wu Kingdom. Once the aura of mountains and rivers senses you, it will definitely protect you.

besides"

Wu Yanhan introduced them to Xu Ming one by one.

There are at least twenty kinds of magic weapons and elixirs in this storage bag, all of which are for Xu Ming to overcome his tribulation.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

"You have so little confidence in me." Xu Ming looked at Wu Yanhan with a smile.

Xu Ming felt like he was about to take the college entrance examination, but his mother kept giving him instructions and asking him to prepare this and that.

Wu Yanhan rolled her eyes at Xu Ming and said, "I'm just afraid you'll die!"

Xu Ming smiled and said, "Don't worry, I won't die. I haven't seen you sitting on the throne and wearing the dragon robe yet."

"Then you should live well." Wu Yanhan said in a seemingly nonchalant tone, "Let's go, Shengsheng, we'll wait in another place, your brother Xu is about to survive the thunder tribulation."

"Oh." Although Shen Shengsheng didn't know what the meaning of enduring the thunder tribulation was, looking at Sister Yanhan's serious expression, Shen Shengsheng knew that it would not be a trivial matter.

"Come on, brother!" Shen Shengsheng cheered Xu Ming with his fists clenched.

"Don't worry." Xu Ming rubbed his head. "With you and Sister Yanhan watching, I won't lose face. Otherwise, your Sister Yanhan will laugh at me for the rest of my life."

"Shengsheng won't laugh at Brother Xu," Shen Shengsheng said.

"Shengsheng is the best." Xu Ming pinched Shengsheng's nose.

Xu Ming turned around and walked into the magic circle drawn by the palace priest just now.

Wu Yanhan looked at Xu Ming deeply, then pulled Shen Shengsheng over a mountain and watched Xu Ming overcome the tribulation.

"Don't die." Wu Yanhan pursed her thin lips tightly and clenched her little hands.

On the plain, Xu Ming changed into Zixiao clothes, then took out a table from his storage bag, and then took out chickens, ducks, cows and sheep from the storage bag and placed them on the table.

Finally he took out an incense burner.

Xu Ming lit the incense burner and bowed three times to the heaven and earth: "Heaven above, I, the disciple Xu Ming, am trying to survive the thunder tribulation here. Please give me some guidance."

“Boom!”

At the moment when Xu Ming inserted the incense into the incense burner, bursts of thunder sounded in the sky, dark clouds continued to gather, and the destiny of heaven and earth stirred up gusts of strong winds.

Shengsheng was so scared that she hugged Wu Yanhan's thigh tightly and looked at her brother Xu worriedly.

“Boom!”

A bolt of thunder struck, smashing the altar in front of Xu Ming into ashes.

It was as if the heavens were saying, "My child, are you sure you want to survive this catastrophe?"

Xu Ming bowed to the Heavenly Dao and released his realm completely: "Please teach me, Master Heavenly Dao!"

“Boom! Boom!”

Blue thunder flashed continuously above the dark clouds.

Looking at the posture, it seems as if everything is going to be chopped into scorched earth.

At the same time, in the imperial palace, Emperor Wu looked at the thick dark clouds in the distance and listened to the faint thunder. Emperor Wu knew that Xu Ming's tribulation had begun.

"Your Majesty, you are very lucky. This thunder tribulation in the Longmen Realm is nothing to you." Wei Xun said on the side.

"I hope so." Emperor Wu sighed, "To be honest, Xu Ming is now a cultivator. I don't know whether I should be happy or sad."

“.”

Wei Xun didn't dare to continue with this sentence.

Because a cultivator may become an official in the court, but the time he stays there will definitely not be long, because the essence of his life will keep flowing away.

Most monks would only serve as officials in the court for ten years, and often no more than twenty years.

The purpose of these monks entering the court to serve as officials is actually to obtain the blessing of the fortune of the mountains and rivers, hoping to achieve a breakthrough.

If they could succeed in breaking through, then the life force they had lost during the years they served as officials in the dynasty would be nothing at all.

For example, a cultivator in the Guanhai Realm can live for 500 years. He serves as an official in the court for ten years, so his life span is actually reduced by 100 years. However, if he breaks through and enters the Longmen Realm, a Longmen cultivator can live for a maximum of 800 years!

The extra few hundred years of life are nothing compared to the lost hundred years.

And the top scholar will definitely not stay in Wu State forever, he will definitely leave.

If not for this, how could His Majesty have thought of paving the way for Her Royal Highness the Princess and making her the first empress of this human dynasty?

Of course, Wei Xun felt that what His Majesty hoped most was that Xu Ming could leave a successor for Wu Kingdom before leaving, and it would be better if he could leave more than one.

In this way, Her Royal Highness the Princess would not have to become the empress, and His Majesty could concentrate on raising his grandson without so much trouble.

Even because there are descendants of Xu Ming in the Wu Kingdom, they will definitely protect Xu Ming after he ascends to the great way in the future.

If Xu Ming could enter the Ascension Realm.

That would definitely be a huge guarantee for the Wu State.

"What do you think of Xu Ming's attitude towards Yan Han?" Emperor Wu asked.

Wei Xun could answer this question: "In my opinion, the top scholar definitely has some feelings for Her Royal Highness the Princess. Anyone can see that. I don't need to hear that after the top scholar returned to the capital, he would go to the Princess's mansion from time to time."

"What about Yanhan's attitude towards Xu Ming?" Emperor Wu asked again.

But as soon as Emperor Wu asked this question, he couldn't help but laugh: "I am also confused. If Yan Han didn't like Xu Ming, with that girl's temper, she would have made a big fuss the day I broke off the engagement."

"But I just don't understand this young couple now." Emperor Wu sighed, "It's rare for people to like each other, and even rarer for them to like each other, so why can't they be together?"

Emperor Wu touched his chin and asked, "Do you have any more Spring Breeze Pills?"

Wei Xun: "Your Majesty, you are just..."

After Xu Ming survived the thunder tribulation, he asked Yan Han and Xu Ming to enter the palace and have a meal.
