Chapter 196: Tan Tai Xuan seems to have weaknesses... [First update, please subscribe]

Cold wind and flying snow.

As winter deepens, the temperature gets lower and the snow gets heavier.

Jiang Li stared at the black dragon in the distant green lake. It was an existence that seemed to be able to captivate people at just one glance.

Its body was covered with dense scales, and its sharp claws grasped the edge of the pond. Under its claws, the solid ground was like soft tofu.

It seemed that the tofu could be crushed into pieces with just a little force.

Yuwen Xiu stood under the black dragon, his dragon robe fluttering in the wind, his hair stained with white snow, and looked at Jiang Li with some excitement.

“Black Dragon…”

Jiang Li looked at Heilong, the handcuffs and shackles on his hands were shaking constantly.

"This is my black dragon."

Yuwen Xiu raised his hands and stretched them out, saying.

Strands of black gas surged out from the black dragon's body and flowed into Yuwen Xiu's body.

Jiang Li had never seen such a strange situation before, but in today's era of cultivators, the occurrence of such strange situations was normal.

After all, back then on the Beijun battlefield, the King of Xirong’s head could emit flames, and chicks could turn into phoenixes.

This scene did not have such a big impact on Jiang Li.

The old eunuch stood to one side with his head bowed, not opening his mouth or saying a word.

The Black Dragon Guards who were responsible for protecting Yuwen Xiu's safety were watching with interest.

They knew Jiang Li, their former commander, who had trained their Black Dragon Guards. However, after they were promoted to the Black Dragon Guards and their strength grew stronger, their awe of Jiang Li gradually disappeared.

After all, Jiang Li had never entered Dragon Gate and was a mortal, while they, the Thirteen Black Dragons, were... cultivators.

Yuwen Xiu did not approach Jiang Li, but just watched from a distance.

"Lord Jiang...did you know that the Imperial Master has died?"

Yuwen Xi said.

Jiang Li, who was lying in the snow, was stunned.

The Master died in battle in Dongyang County. He was in a dungeon at the time and had no access to any news, so he really didn't know about it.

Now that Yuwen Xi had spoken it himself, Jiang Li finally learned the news.

The whole person seemed to be frozen in place.

"It is said that with Kong Xiu inside and Jiang Li outside, the Great Zhou is worry-free... But look at it now, the national teacher is dead, and Jiang Li wants to take off his armor. Is he going to destroy our Great Zhou?"

Yuwen Xiu felt heartbroken.

"My dear Jiang, please continue to assist me. The old villain Tan Tai has established the Great Xuan Kingdom, and Xiang Shaoyun has also established the Western Liang Kingdom. The two countries are leading their armies and shouting the slogan of attacking Zhou. I need you."

Yu Wenxiu looked at Jiang Li, and there seemed to be fluctuations in his eyes.

Jiang Li's expression was very calm.

He was immersed in the sorrow of his master's death.

He admired the Master very much, although they had never met him many times in the Imperial Capital. However, when the Great Zhou was in danger, the Imperial Master Kong Xiu was able to suppress the whole world with his own strength. How could such a person not be admired?

"What a shame, what a shame..."

Jiang Li sighed.

"Your Majesty, I have already taken off my armor and returned to the fields."

Jiang Li Road.

"If I don't let you take off your armor, you are not allowed to take it off!"

Yu Wenxiu's eyes narrowed and he shouted sternly.

The atmosphere in the imperial garden suddenly became solemn, with a hint of sharpness and solemnity.

Jiang Li's body couldn't help but tense up.

Yuwen Xiu walked step by step, as if there was an invisible strong wind that blew away all the snow in the sky.

The black dragon behind him slowly opened its mouth, and a fishy smell filled the air.

"Today... I will give you a chance to choose. Assist me, or... become food for my black dragon."

"Two chances, choose one."

Yuwen Xiu said.

Jiang Li shook his head: "If I say I will assist Your Majesty, will Your Majesty believe me? Your Majesty just needs my approval and wants to see my fear..."

"But... if Your Majesty behaves properly, why would I take off my armor? I will protect the Great Zhou even if I die on the battlefield."

"But Your Majesty, have you ever seen the warriors outside the Tianhan Pass who were fearless and brave enough to fight against the Rongdi tribes, just for the vast land behind them to not be invaded by foreign tribes, and for their families on the land to live in peace."

"In fact, it's okay if Your Majesty doesn't send troops. After all, the Great Zhou is weak. However, Your Majesty should never, ever... take advantage of the situation to rob people."

"In this regard, Your Majesty is not as good as Tan Tai Xuan."

Jiang Li Road.

He was calm and there was no fear in his words.

However, Yuwen Xiu couldn't help but clench his fists after hearing this.

"What have I done wrong?!"

Yuwen Xiu waved his sleeves angrily.

He took advantage of the situation? He is not as good as Tan Tai Xuan?

He just wanted to get you back, Jiang Li... What's wrong with that? ! Roar! The moment Yuwen Xiu finished speaking, the black dragon behind him seemed to sense what Yuwen Xiu meant, and opened its mouth to let out a heavy roar.

Jiang Li's pupils shrank, and he vaguely felt a huge pressure pressing on him.

But the black dragon turned into a black lightning, and instantly opened its bloody mouth towards Jiang Li, wanting to swallow Jiang Li in one gulp.

The terrifying dragon's might made Jiang Li almost lack the courage to move a finger.

However, Jiang Li bit off the tip of his tongue fiercely, blood spurted out, and the stinging sensation instantly recovered from his fear.

He shouted angrily.

The iron chain under his feet broke, and as his spiritual energy circulated, his feet stomped on the ground, and the whole person shot out backwards like a cannonball.

Boom! The black dragon smashed the ground of the imperial garden into a deep pit.

However, he missed and Jiang Li hid far away, gasping for breath.

He broke the chain in his hand, his eyes solemn and serious.

In the distance, the old eunuch with his head bowed couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth slightly. It seems... the practice method he gave really had some effect.

Jiang Li's talent for cultivation is indeed not weak. In just half a month, he was able to rely on the cultivation method to secretly cultivate to his current level in the dungeon.

I just don't know if I can escape from this iron-clad imperial capital.

It’s difficult to imagine.

There were a lot of Black Dragon Guards in the Imperial Capital, plus the elite soldiers of the Great Zhou in the Imperial Capital. Jiang Li was just one person, how could he escape? Not to mention the extremely evil Black Dragon.

No matter how Jiang Li looked at it, he was doomed to die.

Yuwen Xiu did not expect that Jiang Li could actually cultivate spiritual energy.

"Didn't Lord Jiang say that he would never enter the Dragon Gate or cultivate spiritual energy in this life?"

Yu Wenxiu narrowed his eyes and said.

"If you're not careful, you'll condense your Qi. There's nothing I can do about it."

Jiang Li threw away the shackles in his hands and said solemnly.

He stared at the black dragon that raised its head, and all the blood in his body seemed to run cold.

This black dragon...

Perhaps it is the Ti Zang realm above Qi Dan!

Jiang Li had no confidence at all.

"Black Dragon Guard, kill."

Yuwen Xiu waved his hand and said.

Jiang Li was right. He asked Jiang Li if he could still assist him just because he wanted to hear an answer that would be recognized in his heart. Even if Jiang Li really agreed to assist him, Yuwen Xiu might not dare to use him.

In the end, Jiang Li died.

The two Black Dragon guards moved.

They ran towards Jiang Li at an extremely fast speed. Not only that, the Black Dragon Guards who were waiting outside the Imperial Garden also rushed in.

The old eunuch stood aside with his head down, but did not take any action.

Yu Wenxiu glanced at him and said nothing.

Jiang Li grabbed the broken chain and swung it like a whip.

The Black Dragon guards who came to kill were all powerful warriors above the ninth level of Qi Dan trained by Yuwen Xiu, and they were extremely powerful.

Jiang Li fought with him for one or two moves, then felt the strain and retreated repeatedly.

"Commander Jiang, do you still remember me? I am the soldier you once scolded."

A Black Dragon guard took off his mask, revealing a face that seemed to be smiling but not smiling. He approached Jiang Li and punched him continuously.

The spiritual energy fluctuations dissipated.

Jiang Li was blasted and retreated several steps.

The Black Dragon Guards surrounded Jiang Li densely, and in an instant, he was wrapped in darkness.

There was cold snow falling from the sky.

In Jiang Li's ears, the clanging of the armor of the surrounding Black Dragon Guards seemed to become silent, leaving only the sound of snowflakes falling to the ground and being crushed underfoot.

Jiang Li raised his head and looked at the snowflakes falling from the sky.

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

He smiled.

Jiang Li, who had led countless soldiers, never imagined that in the end... he would die at the hands of the soldiers he once led.

This may be... also a kind of irony.

The sorrow of a military strategist.

Bai Fengtian died in the Great Zhou Dynasty. Will Jiang Li... also die in the Great Zhou Dynasty?

The figure in the desert under the setting sun reappeared in front of his eyes.

People like them never died on the battlefield, but always died in the country they were defending, which always makes people feel chilled to the bone.

Jiang Li came to his senses and let out a low growl.

He didn't want to die yet, he didn't want to die, he still had to protect Bai Qingniao and watch Bai Qingniao grow up! Jiang Li released all the spiritual energy in his Qi Dan, and instantly rushed towards a Black Dragon Guard. This Black Dragon Guard only had two or three strands of spiritual energy, and was instantly overwhelmed by Jiang Li, hit in the face with a punch, and fainted.

Jiang Li snatched the knife and swung it violently, making a clanging sound with the surrounding weapons.

There seemed to be sparks flying, breaking the falling snow into pieces.

The Black Dragon's guards moved.

They rushed out quickly and fought with Jiang Li. The Black Dragon's guards were naturally strong, and they also received the Black Dragon's teachings.

The means became even more bizarre.

The black dragon missed its attack and shook its head. Looking at Jiang Li who was being beaten up, a cold look flashed in its eyes.

Then, it pounced on the ground with its claws, and with a crunching sound, furrows were immediately plowed out on the ground.

The black dragon swooped out and headed straight for Jiang Li.

Boom! A Black Dragon guard failed to defeat Jiang Li for a long time, and his eyes revealed a sense of brutality. Black dragon scales appeared faintly on his face.

A roar.

A punch hit the knife that Jiang Li had snatched, breaking it. Jiang Li was also knocked back, spitting blood, and fell to the ground.

The black dragon came with a strong wind.

This time, the terrible fishy smell made Jiang Li unable to escape at all.

The bloody mouth kept getting bigger and bigger in front of Jiang Li's eyes...

Suddenly.

A yellow light fell from the sky.

Then, it hit Jiang Li's head and bounced back elastically.

The black dragon's flying movement suddenly froze.

Jiang Li was also stunned when he saw the yellow ball of fluff hitting his head...

This scene seems... familiar.

…

South County.

Nanjiang City, Tang Mansion.

The rain was drizzling down, the winter rain was freezing cold and brought with it a chilly wind.

Tang Xiansheng did not continue sitting in the yard, but returned to the house, burning the fire pit and feeling the warmth brought by the flames.

Tang Guo was beside Tang Xiansheng, eating fruit and reading a letter.

Tang Xiansheng was sitting in a rocking chair, covered with a thick blanket. His old face was reflected in the firelight. He was looking at Tang Guo in a good mood.

There were footsteps outside the house.

Tang Yimo was wearing a suit of armor, which was still stained with the cold winter rain.

He took off his armor, shook off his rain-soaked clothes, and walked to the fire pit.

"elder brother."

When Tang Guo saw Tang Yimo, she immediately narrowed her eyes and called out to him affectionately.

Warmth and a smile appeared on Tang Yimo's cold face.

He rubbed Tang Guo's head, patted it, and said, "Go out and play for a while."

Tang Guo's eyes lit up, she carefully put away the letter, put a fruit in her mouth, and ran away happily.

Tang Xiansheng looked at Tang Guo's running figure and couldn't help but laugh: "This girl, I'm afraid my old bones will be broken if she keeps accompanying me."

"Children are more playful, it's no problem."

As soon as Tang Guo left, Tang Yimo's face returned to indifference.

"Let me guess. If nothing happened, you wouldn't come to an old man like me... But you came to me because you encountered a problem."

Tang Xiansheng said.

"Tan Tai Xuan founded the Great Xuan Kingdom, and Ba Wang founded the Western Liang Kingdom. Now, the pressure is all on Nanjun. What should we do?"

Tang Yimo didn't beat around the bush and asked directly.

Tang Xiansheng did not answer immediately. The room suddenly became very quiet, with only the sound of firewood burning in the fire pit.

"What do you think?"

Tang Xiansheng said slowly.

"Everyone thinks that Nanjun should also establish its own country..." Tang Yimo took a deep breath.

"But you don't think you have the ability to govern a country...right?"

Tang Xiansheng said.

Tang Yimo nodded.

"You are indeed unfit to be a king. If you join this world of strife, you will surely fail."

"You can't defeat Overlord, nor can you defeat Tan Tai Xuan. Although you may be stronger than Tan Tai Xuan in terms of personal combat power... However, the emperor never relies on personal strength."

Tang Xiansheng's words were also very straightforward. In this respect, the father and son did have some points in common.

"What should I do?"

Tang Yimo asked expressionlessly.

It doesn't matter if he is criticized. It's not like he hasn't been criticized before. During the time he was in charge of Nanjun, he made a lot of mistakes and was criticized by Tang Xiansheng many times.

Tang Xiansheng slowly stood up from the rocking chair.

His body seemed a little hunched and he was coughing constantly.

He walked to the window, looked at the drizzling winter rain outside, with his hands behind his back, his eyes a little cloudy.

"In fact, it's better not to establish a country. If a country is established, it may bring disaster to Nanjun..."

"The general trend is irreversible, unless there is a cultivator like Lu Ping'an."

Tang Xiansheng said slowly.

Tang Yimo stood up.

"Have someone prepare a carriage and assign a Southern Palace guard to me, and I will go to see King Beixuan."

Tang Xiansheng said, and then he coughed.

Tang Yimo was stunned. He obviously also thought of what Tang Xiansheng meant.

"Why is it King Beixuan?"

"Do you think Tan Tai Xuan will win this big fight?"

Tang Xiansheng smiled, looked at the rain outside the window, and said leisurely: "The Overlord seems to have no weaknesses, but... his weaknesses are too obvious, while Tan Tai Xuan seems to have only weaknesses... but in fact, he has no weaknesses."
