Pagoda Immortality

Sun Fu also looked happy: "Then I'll trouble you to make this trip. When we return victorious, I will personally host a banquet for you to celebrate!"

"Your Majesty is too polite. It's the duty of every citizen to defend his country. It's my duty." Lu Li said politely, and then looked at everyone and bowed: "Everyone, I'll leave first, wait for my good news."

"Take care, my friend!"

"Be careful!"

Seeing this, everyone smiled and clasped their fists to see him off.

Lu Li didn't stop, and disappeared on the square in a few flashes, which surprised Sun Fu secretly. He didn't expect Lu Li to be a master.

But soon he nodded secretly again. He could talk and laugh with Tian Wanxi and others, so he was naturally not an ordinary person.

Thinking of this, he felt relieved for some reason.

"Brother, this person is a little too enthusiastic. Is he cheating?" Someone frowned and whispered to the person next to him.

"Don't worry, my wisdom is already at the intermediate level. This person is like us, and belongs to the fugitive camp. I believe he has also accepted the mission of protecting the emperor, so there will be no problem."

The old man next to him smiled and looked at Tian Wanxi again, "Besides, hasn't Fellow Daoist Tian known that person for a long time? If there is a problem, she would not be so enthusiastic."

Hearing this, the previous man couldn't help but nodded, "That's right, Fellow Daoist Tian has fought side by side with us for more than ten years, and I still trust him."

Afterwards, everyone chatted with each other for a while, and then said goodbye and left. After fighting for more than ten years, they have never been as relaxed as today.

On the other side.

Lu Li did not stay after leaving the City Lord's Mansion. He went to the street to buy some dry food, and went to the post station to buy a good horse, and then went straight out of the city through the east gate.

This time, he came directly to Lutai City. He has not returned to Yinlong Mountain yet, and he doesn't know what the situation is there.

After leaving the city, he galloped along the official road to the southeast.

Three days later, he came to the edge of Yinlong Mountain.

From a distance, Lu Li saw a barricade blocking the official road, with soldiers with red silk tied around their necks standing on both sides.

Seeing Lu Li riding his horse, the soldiers on both sides immediately moved together and blocked Lu Li's way.

The captain raised his hand to signal Lu Li to stop, and then asked in a deep voice: "Who are you!"

"My name is Ji Changping. I want to see the leader of your alliance. Please inform me." Lu Li turned over and dismounted, saying politely.

"Ji Changping? I haven't heard of you! Are you a minion of Sun Fu?" The captain sneered and squinted at Lu Li.

The other dozen soldiers heard this and immediately drew their swords at their waists.

"It doesn't matter if you haven't heard of it. You just need to pass this news back. I believe someone knows it." Lu Li was not angry, and still said calmly.

Hearing what Lu Li said, the captain couldn't help but frowned, pondered for a moment, and called a soldier: "Xiao Hu, send a pigeon to tell the truth."

"Yes, captain!"

The soldier clasped his fists and accepted the order, and ran quickly towards the small houses on the right side of the road.

Seeing that the other party was not the kind of arrogant and unreasonable person, Lu Li couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Thank you."

The captain said expressionlessly: "Don't be in a hurry to thank me, this matter has not been determined yet. If you are found to have deceived and played tricks on me, you can't leave today!"

Lu Li smiled dumbly, then walked to the stone pier and sat down.

The central area of ​​​​Yinlong Mountain has been flattened to create a huge square. There are many houses and buildings around the square. The most luxurious and spacious one in the north has three big characters "Tianxialou" on the plaque.

At this time, there was a man in his thirties or forties in plain clothes in front of Tianxialou. He had a thin face, a tall figure, and an extraordinary demeanor.

It was Sun Xing, the leader of the Tianxia League.

Next to Sun Xing stood two hunchbacked grey-haired old men, one was Chen Hu, the other was Liu Meng, the former leader of the Tiger Village.

Both were over 90 years old, and they were barely surviving until now, and they might fall down at any time.

They were holding on to their breath just to see if the Tianxia League would really dominate the world one day. But judging from the current situation, it was too slim.

Not to mention that the coalition forces of the two countries in the West were getting closer and closer.

The mysterious strong men in Lutai City alone were enough to give the Tianxia League a headache. The Tianxia League had no shortage of brave soldiers, but it was still a little insufficient in terms of high-level strength.

These powerful high-level men were all old, and although their martial arts realm was not low, their bodies were not as good as when they were young.

And the young generation, who reached the sixth level of martial arts or above, were pitifully few, and it was difficult to support this 100,000-man army.

It can be said that although the Tianxia League is now glorious on the surface, in fact, it has reached a turning point, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is not enough to take over from the old.

If it drags on for a few more years, when the older generation can no longer bear it and dies, and the younger generation is unable to take charge, the Tianxia League will face the biggest dilemma.

Especially in such a chaotic world, this crisis will be infinitely magnified, and it is not impossible that decades of efforts will be put into practice in one go.

Thinking of this, Liu Meng couldn't help but sigh again.

Sun Xing put his hands behind his back, staring at the vast mountains outside the square in a daze. He could vaguely see white tents hidden in them, and he felt helpless in his heart.

This seemingly peaceful day actually made him sleepless all night. He was less than 40 years old, but his temples were already showing some gray.

"Uncle Chen, Uncle Liu, it's windy outside, let's go inside and sit." Sun Xing retracted his gaze, shook his head, looked at the two old men on his left and right and said softly.

He knew what the two old men were thinking.

Not only these two old men, but there are many old men in the alliance now, such as Lu Qingchu, Wu Changzheng, Pang Zheng, Lin Shi... They are all strong, but unfortunately, they are all old.

The only young master is Yuan Shu, the youngest son of the former Zhenbei General Yuan Chen. He is not much older than himself, but his strength has reached the sixth level of martial arts.

He is a rare young general in the Tianxia Alliance now.

Just when Liu Meng and Chen Hu turned around and were about to walk towards Tianxia Building, a black shadow suddenly appeared outside the square, followed by the sound of rapid horse hooves.

Sun Xing looked up, and the black shadow became clearer and clearer. He could see that the person coming was a middle-aged general wearing silver armor and with a calm face.

After a while, the general pulled the reins in front of the three people, pulled up the warhorse, turned over and dismounted, and said respectfully: "Greetings to the leader of the alliance, and to meet Mr. Chen and Mr. Liu."

The person coming was Yuan Shu.

"General Yuan, please excuse me. I came in a hurry. Do you have something important to report?" Sun Xing said with a slow expression.

"The sentry post ahead reported that a man named Ji Changping wanted to see the leader of the alliance." Yuan Shu said, taking out a paper roll from his arms and handing it to Sun Xing.

"Ji, Ji Changping..."

Sun Xing was stunned at first, and then asked in surprise with an incredible look on his face, "Which sentry post!"

Ji Changping!

Liu Meng and Chen Hu opened their mouths wide when they heard this. This name was so familiar and strange. They thought that the alliance military advisor had died, but they didn't expect...

"Western sentry post, Lutai direction." Yuan Shu replied to Sun Xing.

"Okay! Lend me a horse!"

Hearing this, Sun Xing was already extremely excited. Without waiting for Yuan Shu's consent, he had already jumped on the horse and galloped out of the square.
