Traveling through Yuhuatian, the start of the Sunflower Collection is complete

Youzhou, Zhuojun.

"Your Majesty, the Ming Dynasty's allied forces have arrived outside the county. They will arrive at Zhuojun tomorrow at most."

"Are we really going to do nothing and just wait like this?"

More than a dozen senior executives of the Li family gathered together and looked at Li Yuan, who was sitting in the chair. They were talking a lot and the atmosphere was tense.

They had just received news that the Ming Dynasty's allied forces were marching northward, and were already less than two hundred miles away from Zhuojun.

Li Shimin basically brought all the Li Clan's masters and above to the Qinling Mountains to participate in the decisive battle.

Once this Ming Dynasty allied army takes the opportunity to invade, no matter how many troops they have, they may not be able to compete.

After all, according to intelligence, there are dozens of powerful men above Grand Master in the Ming Dynasty's allied army, and the number of Grandmaster warriors has reached an astonishing four figures.

For a strong person of this level, it would not be a problem for one to fight against ten, or even against a hundred.

If there were no top strong men in charge, they would never be able to defend Zhuojun.

Therefore, after receiving the news, everyone was extremely anxious, hoping that Li Yuan would make up his mind as soon as possible to solve the current crisis.

At this time, Li Yuan's expression was also quite solemn.

Let him think of a way, what can he do?

They were the first to propose a fight with Ming Dynasty. Just in case, he asked Li Shimin to take away all the martial arts masters of the Li clan.

But he didn't expect that after Yuhuatian accepted the challenge, he would actually leave so many masters behind to follow the army northward.

At this moment, the Ming Dynasty's allied forces are about to approach the city, and all the masters of the Li clan are absent. The enemy is strong and we are weak. This battle must not be fought.

Otherwise, even if Li Clan wins the final battle, his army will inevitably suffer heavy casualties.

Taking a deep breath, Li Yuan looked at everyone and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, everyone. I have sent people to negotiate with the Ming Dynasty's allied forces. The key to this battle is mainly between my son Shimin and the Ming Dynasty King Wu. In the decisive battle in the Qinling Mountains, as long as Shimin and the others return victorious, the Ming Dynasty's allied forces will be defeated."

"Everyone, please be patient for a while these days. You must not conflict with this Ming Dynasty allied force and cause a war in advance!"

Everyone looked at each other, then raised their hands and said, "Yes, Your Majesty."

At this moment, they can only place their hopes on Li Yuan, hoping that Li Yuan can really stabilize the Ming Dynasty's allied forces, and wait for the news of Li Shimin's decisive battle and triumph.

"Ta Tata..."

Suddenly, at this moment, there was a rush of footsteps outside the house, and a spy hurried in:

"Report~!"

"Prince Qi, the allied forces of the Ming Dynasty have retreated!"

As soon as this statement came out, everyone was stunned.

"What? Retreat?!"

Li Yuan also stood up quickly and stared at the spy: "What's going on?"

The spy said excitedly: "The Crown Prince and the others have returned and are now outside the city. The Ming Dynasty's allied forces must also have received the news, so they took the initiative to withdraw their troops."

"Shimin is back too?!"

Li Yuan was immediately overjoyed: "Hahaha! It seems that I, the Li Clan, have won this battle!"

The rest of the people were also excited.

"Yes, the prince has returned triumphantly, so there is no doubt about the outcome of this battle!"

"Perhaps the Ming Dynasty King Yu Huatian is already dead at this moment, and the Ming Dynasty allied forces will choose to withdraw after getting the news!"

"Their master is dead. If they don't leave, will they stay and wait to die?"

"Hahaha……"

Everyone's tense mood suddenly relaxed, and they all started laughing.

Li Yuan also smiled and waved: "Let's go, everyone, follow me to welcome my son's triumphant return!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Everyone cupped their hands, stood up one after another, and followed Li Yuan out of the city to greet him.

Soon, everyone left the city and saw at a glance the masters of the major sects returning in great numbers in the distance.

The first few people were none other than Li Shimin, Evil Emperor Jiang Ye, Demon Lord Mu Qingliu, Tian Seng Dini and others.

But for some reason, the atmosphere in the team seemed a little wrong at the moment. Everyone didn't seem to be happy about victory. Instead, many people were in a very low mood, with a trace of shock and solemnity on their faces.

But Li Yuan and others didn't think much about it. After all, they were enemies with the Ming Dynasty. Since this battle was a decisive battle concerning the outcome of both sides, someone would definitely die.

At this moment, it seems that all the masters that Li Clan went to have returned, so Li Clan must have won this battle.

Li Yuan laughed and greeted him.

"Hahaha! Congratulations to my son and all of you, for your great defeat and your triumphant return!"

Behind Li Yuan, many senior members of the Li family also expressed their congratulations:

"Congratulations, Second Young Master!"

"From now on, this Sui Dynasty will be my, Li Clan's world!"

"Hahaha……"

Hearing the congratulations from Li Yuan and others, everyone's expressions suddenly became a little uglier.

Li Shimin stepped forward and said with shame: "Father, we lost this battle."

"It's good if you win, if you win... huh? If you lose?!"

Li Yuan's expression changed: "How could it be?! You lost?!"

Li Shimin nodded and sighed: "Father, this trip to the Qinling Mountains has twists and turns, but we are no match for the Ming Dynasty King Wu Yuhuatian."

"We lost this battle."

Hearing this, the place fell silent for an instant.

Half an hour later.

The former residence of Luo Yi, the general manager of Youzhou, is now the residence of Prince Tang.

Everyone comes together.

After listening to Li Shimin talk about the process of the Battle of Qinling Mountains, there was a dead silence in the house.

Everyone's face turned pale, and many people were even dumbfounded. They were so shocked that they couldn't recover for a long time.

Although there are many warriors among the people, most of them are ordinary people.

But the experience of Qinling and his party this time was like a fantasy to them.

A powerful person in the Hedao realm who is like a god can easily attract thunder and punishment from heaven;

The mysterious and powerful Emperor Shitian who they once regarded as their honored guest was actually Xu Fu, the great Qin alchemist from a thousand years ago;

Moreover, this Xu Fu not only lived nearly two years ago, but was also the culprit responsible for the rise of the Fuso Empire on Dongying Island!

The most important thing is that it doesn't matter that Xu Fu is not dead, even the legendary Great Qin Killer God, Wu'an Lord Bai Qi, is actually resurrected? !

He has been sleeping in Taibai Mountain for thousands of years and has been guarded by the Taibai Sect for generations. Now two thousand years have passed, and this God of Death has actually woken up from his slumber again? !

How can this be? !

How could a normal person live so long? !

For a moment, everyone was shocked and even temporarily forgot about Li Clan's defeat.

This trip to the Qinling Mountains, whether it was about Xu Fu of the Tianmen Gate or the resurrection of the Great Qin Killer God Bai Qi, was a major event that could shock the world.

Compared with this, what does the survival of the Li clan mean? !

There was silence for a long time.

Li Yuan slowly came back to his senses and said with emotion: "It seems that there are many mysteries in this world that ordinary people like us cannot have access to!"

The rest of the people also came back to their senses, and they all nodded after hearing this, with complex expressions on their faces.

If they hadn't made an appointment with Ming Dynasty to fight in the Qinling Mountains this time, how would they have known that there were so many mysteries hidden in this world?

Characters from thousands of years ago are still alive today.

There are also the Kunlun Barrier, the Well of Gods and Demons, and seals mentioned in the conversation between Yu Huatian, the Ming Dynasty King, and Wu Anjun Bai Qi. Even though they don’t understand, they still have some guesses.

There must be many secrets hidden in this world that ordinary people cannot access!

After a moment, Li Yuan turned his head, looked at Li Shimin, and said, "Then how do you think I, the Li clan, should handle myself at this moment?"

Li Shimin looked bitter and shook his head: "Father, forget it. This era belongs to the Ming Dynasty and to King Wu Yuhuatian. I, the Li clan, cannot fight against him."

Li Yuan was shocked.

Li Yuanji, the third son of the Li clan, stood up and said: "Second brother, why do you need to let others have ambitions to destroy your own prestige? No matter how strong the Ming Dynasty is, am I, the Li clan, a soft persimmon again?"

"Now that we have hundreds of thousands of troops, where can't we achieve hegemony? In the worst case, we can just go north to the grassland to develop as Manager Luo said, and wait until..."

"you shut up!"

Before he finished speaking, Li Yuan interrupted and glanced at him coldly.

Li Yuanji shrank his neck, not daring to talk back, and quickly sat back down.

Li Yuan sighed and said to everyone: "The incompetence of the dog makes everyone laugh."

"Don't dare!"

"Your Majesty, your words are serious."

"Yes, actually what the prince said makes sense. At worst, we can go north to the grassland to develop. When the situation is complete, we can go south to take back the old land!"

"good……"

"That's right. Now the Beili Kingdom army is attacking the foreign races, but everyone knows that the Beili Kingdom is the dog raised by Ming Dynasty. This proves that Ming Dynasty's ambition is not limited to the Middle Earth, but to take over the entire world! "

"If we go to the grassland now, sooner or later we will be beaten up!"

"Then what do you think we should do? Do we really surrender without a fight and surrender to the Ming Dynasty?"

"Yes, that's what I mean. At this moment, no one in the world is the opponent of Ming Dynasty. It's like waiting to be destroyed by Ming Dynasty. Why don't we take the initiative to surrender? Maybe we can be reused in the future."

"You traitor, how dare you betray the prince?"

"What does betrayal mean? It means that those who know the current affairs are heroes. The prince must think so too. If you don't believe me, ask the prince!"

"you……"

Everyone spoke one after another, arguing, and everyone was blushing and having thick necks.

Listening to these two polarizing remarks, Li Yuan's face turned gloomy.

The rise of the Li Clan was partly due to luck. Many people saw that the situation was not good and took the opportunity to join the Li Clan in order to survive.

Although the Li family is the most powerful in the Li clan, the Li clan is not actually the sole proprietor of the Li family. Instead, it is more like an anti-Sui alliance, headed by the Li family.

Although I had known earlier that such an alliance would definitely not be very stable, and problems would most likely arise if it encountered a crisis or difficulty.

But he still didn't expect that this day would come so quickly!

Gritting his teeth, Li Yuan shouted angrily: "That's enough!"

The place fell silent for a moment.

Everyone looked at each other in disbelief, looking at the angry Li Yuan with different expressions, some subtle, but they all still calmed down and sat back.

After all, they are still dominated by the Li family at this moment and do not want to refute Li Yuan's face.

But only they themselves understand what they think.

Li Yuan was very observant, and when he saw this scene, he obviously knew that the people of the Li clan were dissipated at this moment, and that the situation of the Li clan was over.

He sighed secretly in his heart, but Li Yuan was always well-educated. He quickly adjusted his mentality and his expression returned to calm. He turned to look at the leaders of the Demon Sect and the Righteous Sect, and asked: "I don't know what you guys think about this matter." how?"

He knew very well that without the support of these people, even if he continued to persist, it would be useless.

After all, this is a world where martial arts is paramount.

As for these gossips, Li Yuan didn't care.

Hearing this, everyone's eyes also focused on Jiang Ye and others.

Under the gaze of everyone, everyone from the good and evil paths also fell silent.

Immediately, Dini, the founder of Cihang Jingzhai, stood up first and said calmly: "I, Cihang Jingzhai, will no longer participate in this matter, but I will not surrender to the Ming Dynasty."

"Master..."

Hearing this, Yan Jing'an and others suddenly looked anxious.

In fact, they did not agree with surrender, because they had supported the Li clan from the beginning and valued Li Shimin, the second son of Li Yuan. They believed that Li Shimin was the destined son of this generation, so they wanted to support Li Shimin to ascend the throne and continue Cihang Jingzhai for another hundred years. brilliant.

Up to now, they have paid too much for Li Clan. If they quit now, they will get nothing!

"Shut up!"

Dini obviously understood what Yan Jing'an and others meant, but with a determined look on his face, he interrupted with a cold shout, then bowed to everyone, then turned and walked out.

Seeing this, the rest of Cihang Jingzhai had no choice but to get up and leave.

Lang Fanyun and Han Bai were a little embarrassed and didn't know where to go.

Because they went to Cihang Jingzhai to help Li Clan because of the person they liked, but now Di Ni took the person away without saying a word, and it was quite embarrassing for them to stay.

"Alas..." With a low sigh, Lang Fanyun bowed his hands to everyone and left alone.

When Han Bai saw this, he quickly left with him. As for where he was going, he didn't know.

Next it’s the turn of Pure Mindfulness Zen.

The Heavenly Monk from the Jing Nian Zen Sect was silent for a moment, then stood up and said, "I don't want to get involved in these worldly affairs anymore. Everyone, please take your leave."

After saying that, he also led the monks of Jing Nian Zen Sect to leave, which was obviously the same choice as Cihang Jingzhai.

Looking at the two parties leaving, Jiang Ye sneered and said, "Just thinking about staying out of the matter now is just a fool's errand. Do you really think that Yu Huatian is so easy to talk to?"

Mu Qingliu frowned slightly and said, "Then how should we choose?"

Jiang Ye did not answer. He stood up and looked at Li Yuan, and said calmly: "Your Majesty, I represent the Xie Ji Sect and have broken away from the Li clan. Of course, I will not be an enemy of the Ming Dynasty anymore. I hope that we will not become enemies in the future."

After saying that, he stood up and left.

The masters of Xieji Sect also left.

Seeing this, Mu Qingliu, Shi Zhixuan, Zhu Yuyan and others looked at each other and left one after another.

Although the two factions of the Demon Sect and the Six Paths usually fight with each other, they are still very unified in the face of such big issues of right and wrong.

At this time, Song Que, the leader of the Song Clan, Tian Dao, also stood up and handed over his hands: "Your Majesty, I, the Song Clan, have also left the Li Clan and bid farewell."

Song Que left.

Seeing this, many people also stood up and led others away.

Li Yuan had been silent, but as he watched one force after another leave the Li clan, his heart became more and more complicated.

It wasn't until no one stood up for a while that he slowly turned around, glanced at the remaining people with an expressionless face, and finally looked at Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin next to him, and said: "Jiancheng, Shimin, my father is getting old, and this Li clan, just It’s up to you, where to go, you two brothers decide.”

"Father..." Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin were immediately anxious.

But Li Yuan didn't say another word. After the words fell, he stood up and walked out of the house. His back was vicissitudes of life, as if he had aged dozens of years in an instant.

Seeing this, Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin looked at each other, frowning and saying nothing.

The next day.

A piece of news swept through the entire Sui Dynasty at the speed of the wind——

Li clan announced that he would surrender to the Ming Dynasty!

Suddenly, the entire Sui Dynasty was shocked, and all forces were talking about it.

Since the Sui Dynasty announced its surrender, only the most powerful Li clan in the entire Sui Dynasty was still resisting.

But now, everyone understands that Sui Dynasty is over! (End of chapter)
