Chapter 218: Protect me with a human wall!
Li Yanmo was not in a hurry to travel. Instead, he sat backwards on the rented black horse and traveled slowly while reading the information sent by Feng Shouyun before leaving.
The contradiction between the noble marquis and the commoner marquis is getting bigger and bigger. There is only a cold war between the marquises, but the conflict between the princes has become so serious that they openly fight with each other in public, and the conflict has even spread to the harem.
However, based on Li Yanmo's understanding of the Dayu Dynasty's style of doing things, the ones who will suffer the most will definitely be the noble sons and dukes who have the best cultivation resources.
After looking through the intelligence, it was true. In just a few days, several princes had lost three treasures that could speed up their cultivation.
The one who won the treasure was the son of a commoner marquis.
This commoner marquis was extraordinary. He was granted the title of Marquis of Eight Desolations and was ordered to guard the Eight Desolations and resist the wild monsters therein.
His military exploits were so outstanding that he deserved to be promoted to the rank of noble marquis, but for some reason no mention was made of him. During these eight years, Emperor Yu issued an edict to recall Marquis Bahuang, but Marquis Bahuang refused on the grounds that his general was away from home and could not obey the emperor's orders.
Legend has it that Marquis Bahuang's cultivation had already reached the stage of transcending tribulation, and even Emperor Yu felt that Marquis Bahuang was a threat.
But Li Yanmo thought that this might be a rumor made up by someone.
Although Li Yanmo was in a daze when the train was delayed, he still felt something. Based on the subsequent intelligence and Ji Lao's complaints, Li Yanmo already had a general idea.
There are roughly two types of cultivators in this world.
This generation of Emperor Yu and other monks.
Even if the immortals are included, there is still Emperor Yu and other cultivators.
He ruled for two hundred years, and including his achievements as a prince, only the first Emperor Yu who founded the Dayu Dynasty could be compared with this Emperor Yu.
So why did Emperor Yu feel that a person in the Tribulation Crossing Stage could pose a threat to him?
However, Emperor Yu seems to be in an unpleasant condition now, and Li Yanmo is not sure what to expect.
Li Yanmo's destination this time is Baidi City, located in Dizhou, at the feet of the emperor.
Regardless of whether they were noble marquises or commoner marquises, their families were placed as hostages within Baidi City.
Furthermore, Emperor Yu had issued a decree that all princes were not allowed to practice cultivation before the age of sixteen and had to study in school.
Li Yanmo had never considered what identity he should use to enter Baidi City, but after thinking about it, he felt it was too troublesome.
Not to mention that Emperor Yu is extremely powerful, he, the owner of Tianxu Tower, is no nobody. It is a bit like taking off your pants to fart for him to get a fake identity and sneak into Baidi City.
So Li Yanmo decided to throw the problem to Leng Ningshuang.
It would take several months to travel from Ganzhou to Baidi City even by the fastest flying boat of Tiexin Chamber of Commerce, so Li Yanmo arrived at Xiyang City first.
Leng Ningshuang didn't say how to connect specifically, just said to turn in the direction of the lively place.
Li Yanmo didn't think much about it. After returning the horse to the horse farm in Sunset City, he walked leisurely on the street.
I don’t know why, but there are so many people in Sunset City today, and many of them look very happy.
Out of curiosity, Li Yanmo stopped someone and said, "Hey, young man, what day is today? Why is it so lively?"
"Huh? You don't know, a young lady came all the way to Sunset City to throw a ball and choose a husband!"
The man rubbed his hands excitedly, as if he would be the lucky one.
Li Yanmo's mood suddenly became strange.
This is probably what Leng Ningshuang means by lively.
After hesitating for a while, Li Yanmo followed the crowd and soon arrived at the scene of throwing the embroidered ball, which was crowded with people.
On the top of the tall building, a woman was walking back and forth. She bent her slender waist and took light steps, showing her white wrists under the light gauze. Her eyes are filled with the clear waves of spring water, and a jade dragon and phoenix hairpin is inserted diagonally in her Japanese-style bun. Her fragrance is sweet, her skin is tender, her cheeks are more beautiful than flowers, her fingers are like peeled onion roots, her mouth is like red cream, and her every frown and smile is captivating.
This is undoubtedly a beautiful woman, but all Li Yanmo sees every day is Jian Xin, so he has a very high resistance to beauty. Li Yanmo only cares about two things.
This woman is not Leng Ningshuang.
Although I have never seen Leng Ningshuang wearing palace clothes, she is older than the woman in front of me, and her cultivation is also higher.
This seemingly weak woman is a Jindan cultivator.
But this matter of throwing the ball of embroidery is indeed very lively. Could it be that Leng Ningshuang intends to use the throwing of the ball of embroidery to make a secret move and contact them in secret?
Li Yanmo immediately leaned forward to look for Leng Ningshuang who might attack in men's clothing, but he did not notice that the beautiful woman in palace dress on the high tower had already looked over. A cunning flashed in her eyes, and she took the hydrangea from the maid's hand.
Seeing that the beautiful lady in palace dress was about to throw the hydrangea, the people present cheered immediately and chased after the hydrangea. Li Yanmo was squeezed several times before he came to his senses. He raised his head and looked in the direction of the tall tower. He happened to meet the eyes of the beautiful lady in palace dress and noticed the cunning in her eyes.
Li Yanmo could be sure that he did not know the other party, but the other party knew him.
I'm afraid he has bad intentions.
Li Yanmo immediately shrank back and moved outward little by little.
The beautiful lady in palace dress was stunned at first, then she gritted her teeth in dissatisfaction. She picked up the hydrangea and threw it towards Li Yanmo. The hydrangea flew at an extremely fast speed, like a cannonball, but incredibly it did not generate any wind pressure.
Li Yanmo's mouth twitched and he jumped immediately, but the hydrangea immediately changed direction and chased straight towards Li Yanmo. The people present were also dumbfounded by this situation. Most of them were mortals from Sunset City. When the hydrangea changed direction, they almost guessed that the harmless beauty in palace dress on the high tower was a monk.
“I was just passing by!!!”
Seeing that the other party was not giving in, Li Yanmo had no choice but to shout.
"That's fate!" The maids around the beautiful lady in palace dress shouted in unison.
Li Yanmo originally wanted to shout, "I have a family," but the hydrangea suddenly accelerated and flew straight towards Li Yanmo's face.
As a last resort, Li Yanmo could only use the forbidden defense. He stretched out his hand and lifted up a person to block in front of him.
The man was a little panicked at first, but when he saw the hydrangea flying towards him, his eyes lit up, he opened his arms and shouted, "Come at me!"
The eyes of the beauty in palace dress twitched, and the hydrangea immediately flew behind her.
Li Yanmo took advantage of this opportunity to land on the ground and shouted, "All guardians, form a human wall to protect me!"
The people around were still a little confused at first, but when they saw that the hydrangea was still staring at Li Yanmo relentlessly, they immediately understood what Li Yanmo meant. They gathered together like warriors willing to sacrifice their lives for justice, forming a human wall with no blind spots.
The maids around the beautiful lady in palace dress also fell silent.
Someone asked in a low voice, "Princess, what should we do? It seems that Li Yanmo has escaped using the escape technique."
The beautiful lady in palace dress glanced at the maid unhappily, "What do you mean by running away? Am I a monster?"
"this……"
The beautiful lady in palace dress raised her hand and the hydrangea turned twice and then flew back.
Li Yanmo, who had managed to escape, was grabbed by the wrist by someone and pulled into an alley.
"Brother Li, why are you here?!"
Looking at Leng Ningshuang, who was wearing linen clothes, a turban on his head, and holding a sledgehammer in his hand, Li Yanmo felt an unprecedented sense of security.
