The counterattack of the villains

Chapter 107 Obsession achieved
When Li Mu and Ruan Xingzhu went to Tianlong Temple, Ah Zi brought Wu Yong, Zhu Dian and Lei Heng to Zhennan Palace.

Duan Zhengchun was not only the King of Zhennan in Dali, but also the General of Baoguo, in charge of the Dali Shence Army, so there were soldiers on duty outside the residence of the Prince of Zhennan.

Seeing four young girls approaching with long swords in hand, a soldier took the initiative to meet him a few steps forward, clasped his fists and said, "This is where the Zhennan Prince's Mansion is located. What are the young heroes doing?"

Although the Dali Duan family is a royal family, but because they were born in a martial arts family in the Central Plains, when dealing with people in the Jianghu, they have always dealt with them according to the rules of the Jianghu.

Although Ah Zi is the one in charge among the four, Wu Yong is the one who stepped up to answer the question at the moment.

He bowed back with his fists clasped, and said in a loud voice: "The members of the Changkong Sword Sect of the Great Song Dynasty are here to send greetings for the head of the sect. Please inform me."

The soldiers on duty were taken aback. Li Juxia, the leader of the Changkong Sword Sect, is coming to visit the Zhennan Prince's Mansion?That's a big deal.

The armored soldier didn't dare to be negligent, he stretched out his hand sideways and said: "A few young heroes are invited to serve tea at the gatehouse, and I will inform you immediately."

"It's work."

Several people were politely invited to the concierge, and soon there were servants offering fragrant tea.

Not long after, Zhu Danchen came to the gatehouse and invited the four of them in.

After all, it was only a few Changkong disciples, not Li Mu who came in person, so naturally Duan Zhengchun didn't have to go out to greet him in person, sending Zhu Danchen was already a great way to save face.

When AhZi and the others followed Zhu Danchen to the palace hall, Duan Zhengchun was welcoming them at the entrance of the hall.

Dao Baifeng, Mu Wanqing, Chu Wanli, Fu Sigui, Gu Ducheng and others were also present, standing behind him.

"Several young heroes are coming here. I have lost my way, and I hope to forgive my sins."

Hearing Duan Zhengchun's usual polite greetings, Ah Zi tilted her head slightly, looked at him and said crisply: "Since you know there is a long way to go, why didn't you come out to meet him in person?"

As soon as she said this, Wu Yong secretly laughed in his heart, knowing that his junior sister was deliberately causing trouble.

However, whether it is Duan Zhengchun or Duan Yu, when facing beautiful girls, they all have a very high tolerance.

Seeing Ah Zi's innocent and lovely appearance, Duan Zhengchun and the others didn't care about her rudeness.

Duan Zhengchun chuckled, and said: "Because I have to make arrangements to entertain you young heroes! I haven't asked the names of Gao."

A'Zi looked at Duan Zhengchun with a smile, and said: "My name is AZi, my surname is Duan, my father is Duan Yanqing, according to my generation, I should call Wang Ye uncle."

The faces of Duan Zhengchun and the others all changed drastically, Dao Baifeng looked at her with rather complicated eyes, feeling a little panicked.

This is Yu'er's real half-sister, he is really coming, how will he treat her?
Yu'er said that he would not expose this matter for the time being, but that was temporary after all.

Now that he followed the head of the Changkong Sword Sect to visit the palace, he came for the throne, and it was the last moment.

If Yu'er's identity is really exposed, she will die.

When Mu Wanqing heard Ah Zi reveal her identity, a feeling of closeness appeared in Mu Wanqing's eyes, this is her future sister-in-law!
Compared to Duan Zhengchun, she is actually closer to the Sky Sword Sect.

Not only because Duan Yanqing is Duan Yu's biological father, but also his future father-in-law.

The most important thing is that he fulfilled her and Duan Yu, which Duan Zhengchun could not do no matter what.

Duan Zhengchun asked solemnly: "I don't know what advice Miss Ah Zi has here?"

His name was Miss A Zi, and he didn't call her by name directly or call her niece, which showed that he didn't acknowledge this relationship.

Ah Zi didn't care either, she didn't care about these so-called relatives of Dali at all, and she didn't even pay attention to them.

She tilted her head slightly, and called "Senior Brother", Wu Yong took out a post from his bosom, stepped forward and handed it to Duan Zhengchun.

Duan Zhengchun took the post and opened it, his expression immediately became serious.

The general meaning of the post was: At noon tomorrow, Li Mu, the head of the Changkong Sword Sect, will lead [-] disciples to visit the Zhennan Palace.

It can be said that the visitor's unkind intentions rushed to his face, because if it was just a friendly visit, why would he bring eight hundred disciples?
Duan Zhengchun looked at Ah Zi seriously, and said: "Dare to ask Miss, will your father come with you?"

Ah Zi said: "Of course, why did my father come here, the prince doesn't know why?"

Duan Zhengchun doesn't recognize this relationship, and she doesn't call her uncle, only Wang Ye.

Duan Zhengchun naturally knew it in his heart, and sighed secretly, whether it was a blessing or a disaster, if it was a disaster, he couldn't avoid it, at worst, soldiers would come to block him, and water would come and earth would cover him up.

"You have come from afar to work hard, I have prepared food and drinks to clean up the dust for you, please."

Ah Zi giggled, and said: "My lord, you don't need to show face like this, let these two elder sisters and this scholar elder brother take us there, your lord should go and do your own work!"

Two sisters?

Mu Wanqing looked at Dao Baifeng next to her, she was a little funny, her "sister" unintentionally raised her seniority by a generation.

Duan Zhengchun was startled, and asked suspiciously, "What am I busy with?"

A'Zi took it for granted, "It's time to spread the message, to mobilize the people and mobilize the people! Aren't you afraid that when the time comes, you won't be able to reach an agreement and fight, and your side will suffer?"

"..."

Duan Zhengchun and the four great ministers felt a little speechless. This girl's confident posture made them a little aggrieved.

Duan Zhengchun smiled wryly: "It's not too late, let's give a few winds first!"

AhZi said indifferently: "You can do whatever you want!"

Duan Zhengchun gave Chu Wanli a wink, and then he personally led Ah Zi and the others to the side hall.

Dao Baifeng returned to the room without going to the side hall with them on the grounds that he was not feeling well.

Chu Wanli had a tacit understanding with Duan Zhengchun, and after the group left, he immediately sent people to Tianlong Temple to report to Duan Zhengming, and at the same time, he went to invite Sangong of Dali and Shanchanhou Gao Shengtai.

Gao Shengtai is in charge of Dali's 2 Imperial Forest Army, and Duan Zhengchun's Shence Army is also in charge of [-] people.

These [-] soldiers and horses are the direct line army of the Duan Clan in Dali, as well as the elite and heritage of the Dali Kingdom.

But if a war really breaks out, with the addition of local soldiers and barbarians, Dali can also gather 20 troops.

The Baiyi tribe represented by Dao Baifeng alone can pull out 8 to [-] horses, which is why Duan Zhengchun married Dao Baifeng.

If the Sky Sword Sect really wants to come out in full force, fight against the Dali Duan Clan, defeat the [-] elites in Dali City, and seize the Dali regime is no problem at all.

Because the Sky Sword Sect can also pull out [-] capable disciples, plus [-] outer disciples, [-] inner disciples, and [-] elite disciples.

Even if he is tough from the front, he can kill [-] Dali's elite without leaving a piece of armor.

What's more, the Changkong Sword Sect doesn't need to be tough with the Yulin Army and Shence Army. The role of martial arts masters in war is like special forces, and they have always played beheading tactics.

But the throne won in this way is absolutely unstable, just like Yang Yizhen back then.

Therefore, Li Mu did not intend to seize the throne by force, but chose to use the general coercion. As long as Duan Zhengming, Gao Shengtai and others are not brain-dead, they will never choose to resist stubbornly.

"Miss Ah Zi, don't you have an elder brother? Why does your father let you do this kind of thing?"

At the banquet, after toasting Wu Yong and others with a glass of wine, Duan Zhengchun suddenly asked Ah Zi this question.

Ah Zi, who was eating and chatting with Mu Wanqing, heard this, she stared at Duan Zhengchun, "Does the lord look down on women?"

Duan Zhengchun laughed and said: "Of course not, anyway, if I have a daughter, I would absolutely hate to let her run around."

Ah Zi curled her lips and said: "So if you are asked to raise a daughter, you will definitely raise a waste."

"In my father's words, it's just a vase. It's useless for anything but looking good. It will break if you drop it. Fortunately, Sister Wan'er didn't grow up by your side."

Mu Wanqing added: "Let's not talk about daughters, even sons were almost turned into a vase."

"Uh..." Duan Zhengchun was stunned, he found that he really couldn't refute this, because it seemed to be the truth.

After insulting Duan Zhengchun, Ah Zi said again: "I don't have an older brother, nor a younger brother, but only a few sisters, so what? Who in the world would dare to look down on us?"

Duan Zhengchun's eyes lit up, Ah Zi's words were the situation he really wanted to get out of.

It turned out that Crown Prince Yanqing had no sons, that is to say, even if the throne was given to him, it would still be passed on to Yu'er in the end, that's really wonderful.

Duan Zhengchun laughed and said: "That's natural, the disciples of the Changkong Sword Sect, no matter male or female, who in the world would dare to look down on them?"

……

To Duan Zhengchun's relief, just after noon, Duan Zhengming returned with Duan Yu, who was already safe and sound.

After Ruan Xingzhu absorbed all of Jiumozhi's internal energy, Jiumozhi finally died of exhaustion due to his injuries.

The people he brought didn't enter the Muni Hall, so they didn't know the inside story. They only said that Jiumozhi came to Tianlong Temple to grab the scriptures, but his skills were inferior to others, and he died under the Six Meridian Sword.

At that moment, one by one, each one of them, carrying Jiumozhi's corpse, returned to Tubo.

As for whether they can return to Tubo smoothly, it is hard to say.

Li Mu and Ruan Xingzhu left immediately and made an appointment to meet at noon tomorrow.

After returning to Dali, Duan Zhengming immediately summoned a group of important ministers and told them all about what happened in Tianlong Temple.

After everyone listened, they all fell silent. With the martial arts and power displayed by Prince Yanqing, if Dali insisted on resisting to the end, there would be no chance of winning.

Maybe he won't be able to sit firmly on the throne, but by then, all of them will probably be dead, and Dali will also decline.

Duan Zhengchun said helplessly: "It's really not possible, and we can only give up the throne to Prince Yanqing. Fortunately, he has no son, and the throne will still fall into Yu'er's hands in the end."

"And by doing this, we can also make friends with Li Juxia. With the support of the Sky Sword Sect, it will benefit Dali without any harm."

Duan Zhengming nodded in agreement, looked at Gao Shengtai and the others, and said, "What do you guys think?"

Gao Shengtai asked: "Did Prince Yanqing say anything about how he plans to govern after he takes the throne, and what changes will he make to the court?"

Duan Zhengming said: "This matter has not been clarified yet, this is something that needs to be discussed with Prince Yanqing tomorrow."

"The situation is stronger than others. The throne must be abdicated. The only thing we can do is to try our best to prevent Prince Yanqing from messing around."

Everyone sighed in unison when they heard the words, what will happen to them depends on tomorrow.

……

At noon the next day, when Li Mu and Ruan Xingzhu brought [-] Changkong disciples to the Zhennan Palace, they did not see a single soldier stationed around the palace except the guards.

Li Muzi was very satisfied with this, it seemed that the ministers in Dali were very wise and did not make any foolish decisions.

This means that he is very powerful now, if he is alone, no matter how high his martial arts are, there may be thousands of troops to welcome him today.

Brothers Duan Zhengming and Duan Zhengchun personally brought Duan Yu and others to greet them outside the gate, and naturally Ah Zi and his party were also there.

The two brothers looked left and right, but they didn't see anyone who looked like Li Juxia. Li Mu was not in a hurry to tell the truth, but just suggested to go in and talk.

Duan Zhengchun looked at Ruan Xingzhu with some doubts, always feeling as if he had seen her somewhere.

But after all, 20 years have passed, and there was no deep entanglement at that time. Naturally, he can't remember clearly, but he just thinks that Ruan Xingzhu looks familiar.

Entering the palace, among the eight hundred disciples, only Chao Gai led a few disciples, Azi and others followed Li Mu and his wife into the hall, and the others waited outside in the vast courtyard.

After entering the hall, Li Mu glanced at Dao Baifeng, who was not daring to look at him, and sat down without saying anything.

Ruan Xingzhu took a closer look, and secretly praised Dao Baifeng's beauty in his heart. With her appearance and her attire, she really looked like Guanyin Bodhisattva.

"Dare to ask brother, Li Juxia has something important, why..."

Hearing Duan Zhengming call his brother, Li Mu knew that he had made a decision, so he couldn't help being in a good mood, so he felt a little joking.

"Based on the relationship between me and Li Juxia, my coming is equivalent to his coming."

"This..." Duan Zhengming didn't know how to respond to these words.

Standing behind Duan Zhengchun, Mu Wanqing couldn't help but said, "What's your relationship with Li Juxia? Can you represent him in everything?"

Although according to the current situation, Mu Wanqing is not qualified to speak.

But Duan Zhengming and others knew that she was a country girl who didn't understand the world. Seeing that Li Mu didn't mind, they didn't say anything. This was what they wanted to know.

Li Mu smiled at her and said, "Li Juxia and I have the closest relationship in the world, so good that we can wear the same pair of pants."

"What's his is mine, what's mine is his, we can share everything, even my wife."

This sentence was quite shocking, Duan Zhengming and the others looked at him in horror.

Ruan Xingzhu turned her head to look out of the hall, the smile on her face could hardly be concealed.

Ah Zi, Chao Gai and the others also flushed red, and they worked very hard to hold back their laughter.

But Li Mu grabbed Ruan Xingzhu's shoulders, and then said solemnly: "Actually, this is Li Juxia's wife, Ruan Xingzhu who is known as the 'Female Sword Saint' by people in the world, but at the same time, she is also my wife."

If the words just now just shocked everyone, then they would have all been petrified at this time.

In this world, there are indeed cases of two brothers marrying the same wife, but these things always happen in places that are very poor, or isolated from the world, where the population is low and women are scarce.

With the identities of Prince Yanqing and Li Juxia, it is naturally impossible for those problems to exist. Could it be that their relationship is really so good?

When he heard Ruan Xingzhu's origin, Duan Zhengchun naturally thought of Lu Xi, a flash of lightning flashed in his mind, and he finally remembered where he had seen Ruan Xingzhu.

The way he looked at Ruan Xingzhu was a bit weird, so he accidentally hit Li Juxia and Prince Yanqing's woman back then?

He was very thankful, fortunate that Li Juxia and Prince Yanqing were not there at that time, otherwise maybe the young saplings on his grave could have been used as beams.

"Library..."

Suddenly there was a muffled laugh behind Li Mu, Li Mu's expression darkened, he slowly stood up and turned around, looking at Ah Zi and the others who were hanging their heads and holding back their laughter with a straight face.

"Is it funny? Don't forget, you are all elite disciples of the inner sect who have been strictly selected and have practiced peerless martial arts. No matter how funny it is, you shouldn't laugh."

After saying this, he turned around and sat down again, and continued: "Unless you can't help it."

"Puchi... cluck..."

"Kukuku..."

A'Zi covered her belly and bent down laughing endlessly, her delicate and melodious laughter filled the hall, mixed with the suppressed muffled laughter of Chao Gai and others.

Even Ruan Xingzhu couldn't help the smile in his heart, covering his mouth and shaking his shoulders violently.

"..."

Duan Zhengming and the others looked at the boys and girls who were laughing together, and felt that their minds were full of muddleheaded.

Duan Yu suddenly stared at Li Mu with wide eyes, stood up abruptly, looked at Duan Zhengming and the others who were bewildered, and smiled wryly, "Uncle, Father, haven't you turned the corner yet?"

"Li Juxia and Prince Yanqing are basically the same person, he is Prince Yanqing, and he is also Li Juxia!"

suddenly see the light.

Duan Zhengming brothers couldn't laugh or cry at once, Gao Shengtai and the others felt that they should be angry that Li Mu played them like this, but they couldn't get angry.

They also saw that Li Mu's move was actually to ease the atmosphere and get closer to His Majesty and the prince, so they made a harmless joke.

After all, they are brothers of the same race!They suddenly felt relieved.

Duan Yu was even more pleasantly surprised, it turned out that his biological father was really the great chivalrous man who served the country and the people.

Duan Zhengming laughed and shook his head, "Brother, you are really... so funny."

Li Mu looked at Duan Zhengming and said: "If you are willing to call me brother, then we are our own family members. If there is anything between brothers, we should discuss it behind closed doors."

"Jokes are jokes, let's talk about business now. This time I return to Dali, the throne must be taken back."

"This has become my obsession. If it can't be solved, it won't benefit my martial arts practice. But I have to return to the throne. After I have a clear idea, it doesn't matter how long I sit."

"Even if it's just a formal Zen seat, it's fine for all the officials to pay homage to me once."

"As long as you add my name, Duan Yanqing, to the list of the Dali emperor's lineage in the future to prove that I have existed."

After listening to Li Mu's words, Duan Zhengchun, Gao Shengtai and others were overjoyed, but you should have said that earlier!It made everyone nervous.

But they also immediately thought that the main purpose of Li Mu's move was that he wanted to see the attitude of himself and others.

Apparently, their attitude satisfied him, that's why they were so easy to talk about, otherwise Dali might have to bleed a little bit.

Duan Zhengming asked: "Brother really only wants to do this? In fact, with his ability, he will definitely do better than me. Dali will surely flourish under his management."

Li Mu shook his head and said, "I'm really not humble with you in this regard, but after practicing martial arts to my level, what I pursue is already different."

"What I'm looking for now is to climb the peak of martial arts and see higher scenery. Worldly power is meaningless to me."

After listening to his words, Duan Zhengchun and others were completely relieved, only Duan Zhengming was slightly melancholy.

Among all the people, he was the only one who sincerely hoped that the seat of Zen would be given to Li Mu, so that he could govern the Dali Kingdom, while he himself would go to Tianlong Temple to become a monk, so that he could practice martial arts diligently and practice the Six Meridians Divine Sword hard.

In a sense, he and Li Mu are actually the same kind of person, completely different from Duan Zhengchun and others.

Compared with the throne, he prefers to practice martial arts, otherwise he would not have given up his martial arts practice after becoming the emperor.

This is something that even Duan Yanqing in the original plot admires very much.

……

After learning about Li Mu's request, Duan Zhengming and the others immediately arranged for it.

But Li Mu, according to what he said before, asked Chao Gai to lead [-] disciples to go secretly to Tubo and assassinate a number of important people in Tubo.

All logistical and intelligence support will be borne by the Dali Kingdom. In addition, Chao Gai and the others can support the war with war, so there is no major problem.

This operation can not only solve the Tubo problem, but also hone the disciples. It can be said to kill two birds with one stone. Even if there are some casualties, it is worthwhile.

For this matter, the Dali court raised both hands to support it.

Tubo is the country that threatens Dali the most. After defeating them, Dali no longer has to worry about threats from the west.

Half a month later, as soon as the affairs were ready, Duan Zhengming formally proposed at the court meeting that the Zen seat should be given to Li Mu.

The courtiers have already been informed, so they will not say anything more.

Li Mu finally put on the dragon robe, and after the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven, he officially became the emperor of Dali.

During his first court meeting, Li Mu decreed to confer Ruan Xingzhu as queen, his four daughters as princesses, Ruan Xiong as the head of the state, and Ruan Baiming as the uncle of the state.

Of course, it's just such a name, let's play.

But even though it was for fun, these identities were nothing in Song Dynasty, but when they came to Dali, these identities were real and everyone would recognize them.

In addition to these, he canonized Duan Yu as the Prince of Dali, but after he abdicated, Duan Yu did not need to succeed immediately, and Duan Zhengming still took the throne temporarily, and when the time was right, he would pass the throne to Duan Yu.

In this way, Li Mu became the emperor for half a month, sleeping with Ruan Xingzhu in the dragon bed for a few days, then announced the throne of Zen and Duan Yu, proclaimed himself the Supreme Emperor, Ruan Xingzhu was the Queen Mother, and returned to Duan Zhengming.

This made Dali civil and military officials dumbfounded, Duan Zhengchun was also speechless, Li Mu proclaimed himself the Supreme Emperor, what will he do after that?
Fortunately, all of this is not meaningless, and having an inseparable relationship with the Changkong Sword Sect is more beneficial than becoming a subject of the Great Song Dynasty.

These days Ruan Xingzhu has also chatted with Dao Baifeng in private, and for what happened back then, Ruan Xingzhu can only be grateful to her.

If it wasn't for her, Li Mu might not have existed in this world long ago, and she wouldn't have this peerless husband today.

Li Mu also said that before Duan Zhengchun passed away, he would not tell anyone the truth, and Dao Baifeng was very grateful for this.

Duan Yu proposed to Duan Zhengming and Duan Zhengchun that he would return to the Sky Sword Sect with Li Mu, study with him for a few years, and come back to inherit the throne when the time is right.

The two brothers were happy to see the result, and they agreed wholeheartedly. In order to fulfill him and Mu Wanqing, Ruan Xingzhu also decided to accept Mu Wanqing as his disciple and bring her back to the Changkong Sword Sect to teach.

After staying away from Dali, to put it bluntly, even if the two of them killed each other and gave birth to a child, nothing would go wrong.

When Li Muyu solved Duan Yanqing's obsession in Dali, the turmoil in the Central Plains about using the way of the other and returning it to the other became more and more intense, and Qiao Feng's wheel of fate began to turn.
