Refine Gu to become immortal from one person

Chapter 369 Dilemma and Breakthrough
However, even though he was choked, hearing such words from Chi Yao's mouth convinced Li Maozhen that this person was not from a bad background.

After all, unscrupulous people have always regarded Yuan Tiangang as a god, let alone making such jokes, it is difficult to say even a casual derogatory word.

Since he is not a bad person, his heartbeat index has risen again. If he was just using his sister Empress to tempt and lure him before, then now he is really thinking about whether to use her to win over Chi Yao.

Sixteen years ago, when Li Maozhen left Qi Kingdom for Miaojiang, the power of Qi Kingdom, Liang Kingdom, and Jin Kingdom was almost the same. Regardless of the court and the rivers and lakes, they were all fighting for an equal share, and no one would give in.

But after so many years, Li Maozhen, the real backbone, has been lost. Although the empress has done the best she can, the development of Qi country is still inevitably widened by Liang and Jin.

Especially in terms of talent.

The Xuanmingjiao in Liang State and the Tongwen Museum in Jin State are full of talents, but Huanyinfang in Qi State is much inferior in comparison. There are two or three big cats and kittens, and there are almost no people who can stand on their own.Inside and out, only the empress is supporting the scene.

Of course, originally only the people of Qi Kingdom knew about this, but in the eyes of outsiders, they were still three-legged, and no one gave way.

However, in order to rescue Li Xingyun, Empress Naihe took the initiative to provoke the second Liang Wang Zhu Youzhen.

Zhu Youzhen sent a large army to attack, and the two powers fought against each other, which immediately pierced the false veil of Qi's foreign powers, and the ghost king of Xuanming Sect took the opportunity to attack, which vividly demonstrated the plight of Qi's shortage of manpower.

After this layer of naked reality was uncovered, the development of Qi Kingdom fell into a real predicament.

Even if Li Maozhen goes back and adds his younger sister, the Empress, to make up for the gap in the number of top experts between the Qi Kingdom and the Jin Kingdom, the middle-level power gap that has been slack for [-] years cannot be filled in a short while.

Li Maozhen's original idea was to recruit more troops after obtaining the Longquan treasure. After all, money touches people's hearts, and money can turn ghosts. As long as you are willing to spend money, there will always be talents. .

But as the saying goes, a thousand soldiers are easy to get and a general is hard to find. Most of the people who can be bought by money are ordinary Jiang Hu people. A top expert like Chi Yao who can confront him head-on without losing the wind is something that can be met but not sought. of.

That's why Li Maozhen tried every means to lure him into the group.

In today's world, if the bug of bad handsome Yuan Tiangang is excluded, in terms of status, he, the first King of Qi, is higher than the new king of Jin, Li Siyuan, who inherited his father's throne; Down.

It can be said that his only shortcoming is the sluggish development of Qi State, who did not take the opportunity to share the spoonful of Liang State's collapse, which led to a lot of distance from Jin State.

However, if there is a top expert to help out, then these gaps are not irreparable.

And from the perspective of fighting bad guys, top experts are more useful than thousands of troops. After all, although Yuan Tiangang can't block a million troops with a single sword, who can carry these troops with him all the time?
Li Keyong's fate is an important warning to Li Maozhen.

Bad Shuai really wants to kill people, but he has no scruples at all. No matter what kind of king you are, King Qi, as long as he thinks you are in the way, Tiangang will be merciless.

Li Maozhen also listened to the temptation of the bad handsome back then, so he chose to let go of Qiguo and go to Miaojiang alone to find the decryption method of the Longquan treasure box.

After so many years of inhuman torture, it's not like he didn't think that this might be a game specially set up by the other party for him, but based on his confidence in his own strength and the Gu skills he harvested from the Twelve Caves, he couldn't believe it. I also have my own calculations.

Because he can be sure that in this world, he is the only one who can unlock the secret of Longquan. Even if this is a plan by a bad guy, he, as a pawn, must be safe before he actually reveals the secret.

And this buffer time is the key for him to find a way to break the situation.

Originally, his idea was to use the Meteor Birth Gu Gu's human presence to play a golden cicada escape if he had to, but the appearance of Chi Yao made him see another possibility.

Confront the possibility of bad handsome head-on!

Seeing that Chi Yao was still hesitating, Li Maozhen softened his tone: "Well, anyway, Brother Chi, you probably don't have anything to do right now, why don't you just walk with me for a while? It's not too late to think about other things on the way. .”

"It's not impossible...then bother Brother Li."

Chi Yao pondered for a while, then nodded.

Compared to wandering the rivers and lakes alone, following this King Qi, at least there must be no problem in terms of basic necessities of life.

As a person who just came from modern times, to be honest, if he didn't have these high-quality guarantees in life, he probably wouldn't be able to stay in this ancient times for a second.

After all, his cultivation base has not yet reached the point of bigu and can ignore the reincarnation of the five grains.

"Okay, hahaha~"

Li Maozhen immediately let out a hearty laugh.

……

……

The two of them set off from the border of Miaojiang to Fengxiang, and the first place they passed was the territory of Meng Zhixiang, king of Shu.

Even though Li Maozhen didn't think that the king of Shu was too high, he also admitted that the other party had more than enough strength to protect himself, and after careful study, the life of the king of Shu around him was quite legendary.

Meng Zhixiang, like Li Maozhen, came from a grassroots background. He also made many military exploits during the Huangchao Uprising, all the way from an ordinary soldier to the position of governor of a state.

Later, when Tang Zhaozong Li Ye succeeded to the throne in the Central Plains, Meng Zhixiang took the opportunity to attack Chen Jingxuan, the envoy of Xichuan Jiedu, and Gu Yanhui, the envoy of Dongchuan Jiedu, and actually occupied the land of Liangchuan.Later, he successively captured the Shannan West Road, Hanzhong area, etc., and finally controlled the entire [-] states in Sichuan and Shu, and was named the King of Shu, becoming a great prince that cannot be ignored.

In fact, from the perspective of territory, Meng Zhixiang's Shu Kingdom is stronger than Li Maozhen's Qi Kingdom, and has more potential for development.Among other things, the terrain that is easy to defend and difficult to attack is enough for him to develop with peace of mind and watch the world change.

Looking back at Qi State, Li Maozhen's initial advantage was that the fiefdom was very close to the capital Chang'an, and he could hold the emperor to command the princes at any time.But when Zhu Wen usurped the throne and the Tang Dynasty completely collapsed, his advantage has no practical significance.

On the contrary, the disadvantages of the small site and insufficient space for maneuvering began to appear gradually.

The north, east, and south directions of Qi State are just sandwiched between the three great powers of Jin, Liang, and Shu, and there is no room for development. To the west is the range of Dangxiang and Uighur, where there are either mountains or deserts. For robust environments.

That's why Li Maozhen wanted to find the treasure of Longquan, otherwise, given Qi's geographical disadvantage, it would be difficult for Li Maozhen to make a difference even if he was a god descending from heaven.

In fact, there was another way for Qi State to break the situation, and that was to take advantage of the death of Zhu Wen and his son and the collapse of Liang State to break through the blockade.

It's a pity that Li Maozhen was fooled by a bad handsome man to Miaojiang for sixteen years, and missed this wave, which may be the only chance to save himself.

Nowadays, Li Maozhen and his country of Qi really have no other choice but to pin their hopes on the treasure of Longquan.

And this, I am afraid, is exactly the result that the bad guy wants to see.
