Chapter 227: Three-point return to vitality! Xu Zhihu visits!
Xu Xiao sent someone to deliver a reply letter to Li Changan, agreeing to exchange Liangzhou for Xu Fengnian.

Li Changan also gave the envoy a clear reply, asking the Xu family to come and pick up Xu Fengnian themselves.

This request is very clear. Li Changan would never want Xu Xiao to go to Shazhou. This request is directed at Xu Zhihu.

The court granted marriage to Li Changan, and Xu Zhihu disappeared. This matter was known to everyone in the world.

It’s not that Li Changan doesn’t care, it’s just that he didn’t have the strength at the beginning. Now that he has the strength, he will not care about it.

What's more, the emperor's edict also said that Xu Zhihu and Li Changan should get married as soon as possible.

Although Li Changan did not care about the imperial edict, he would never allow Beiliang to offend him again and again.

In the lobby of the palace.

Li Changan's civil and military officials gathered in the hall, including the martial arts masters who had defected to Li Changan.

"Everyone, this time I won a great victory over Beiliang and also gained the land of Liangzhou. You all have made great contributions."

Zhuge Liang bowed and said, "It is all thanks to Your Majesty's planning. How dare we take credit for it?"

Li Changan continued, "Although we have obtained the land of Liangzhou now, we still need to rely on you to govern Liangzhou well and guard against the Beimang tribe on the border of Liangzhou."

The area of ​​Liangzhou is larger than that of Shazhou, and it faces the threat of Beimang. It is not easy to swallow such a large territory.

Fortunately, Zhuge Liang was there to share Li Changan's worries, so Li Changan was not too busy.

"After Xu Xiao hands over Liangzhou, the military advisor will be the governor of Liangzhou, and General Zhang will be the governor of Shazhou."

Zhang Yichao originally started his career in Shazhou. He enjoyed great prestige in Shazhou and was even revered as a god by the foreign people.

The fact that Li Changan dared to appoint him as the governor of Shazhou showed his full trust in him.

"I will obey your orders and will not fail in my mission!"

Liangzhou and Shazhou are the basic bases for Li Changan's rise. After these two states are well managed, they will be enough to support more than 300,000 troops.

"General, what are the losses in this battle?"

Gu Dazu replied, "The casualties of various units are more than 20,000, the cavalry lost 5,000, and the infantry lost 15,000, but the number of soldiers from the six counties who joined the army is as high as 50,000!"

The loss of one thousand men in the Black Armor Army this time was the largest loss of the elite troops of the Fusion Template so far.

As Li Changan's most core cavalry, the Black Armor Army and the White Horse Volunteers will inevitably compete with Beimang and Liyang for the Central Plains in the future, so they must be replenished with personnel when the system settles next time.

Li Cunxiao knelt down and apologized, "Your Highness, the Black Armor Army lost a thousand old soldiers. I am ashamed. Please forgive me!"

Li Changan waved his hand and said, "The Great Snow Dragon Cavalry is known as the best army in the world. Your Black Armor Army charged in the front, which is why the Guiyi Army suffered little loss."

"You have made an invaluable contribution in reducing the nine thousand Snow Dragon Riders to two thousand men. You have done nothing wrong."

"You will follow the military advisor to Liangzhou, and the task of resisting Beimang will be handed over to the Black Armor Army."

A brave general like Li Cunxiao is afraid of not having a battle to fight. When he heard that he could fight against the world-famous Northern Mang army, Li Cunxiao couldn't help but feel excited.

"I will obey your orders!"

After arranging the civil and military ministers, Li Changan said to Wu Liuding and other martial arts masters, "More and more martial arts figures have surrendered to me recently."

"This king intends to build the world's number one building in Liangzhou. The martial artists who come to this king will serve in the building."

Everyone can see that Li Changan will be a force that cannot be ignored in Liyang. As a worshiper of the No. 1 Building in the World, his status in the future will not be low.

"As you command, my Lord!"

Li Changan believed that as his power expanded, Tianxia Diyi Lou would be able to recruit more masters.

This number one building in the world will soon be able to travel the world on horseback and destroy mountains and temples.

Xu Xiao agreed to cede Liangzhou and had begun to withdraw his troops from Liangzhou. Li Changan then gained control of Liangzhou, so his power ranking directly rose to fourth place.

Apart from Emperor Liyang, Empress Beimang, and King Beiliang Xu Xiao, the most powerful person in the world is Li Changan.

Because Xu Xiao has more soldiers and civilians than Li Changan, he is ranked ahead of Li Changan.

After more than a year of development, Li Changan's wealth, romanticism, and literature and art all entered the top ten, and his martial arts skills also rose to twelfth place.

After all, there are still many old monsters in this world who have been hiding from the world, and their cultivation levels are higher than those of land immortals.

Due to the comprehensive improvement of various rankings, the system finally carried out a settlement.

[Your influence in the world of Snow Blade has been greatly increased, and you will be rewarded with 30000 Red Dust Points! ]

When more people rank in the top ten, the number of Red Dust Points awarded will increase.

Now that he has more than 30,000 reward points again, Li Changan’s first priority is of course the problems of training and military strength.

What Li Changan lacks now is a martial art that can sense the heaven and earth, so as to further hone his connection with heaven and man and mobilize the weather of heaven and earth.

Among the many martial arts that can sense celestial phenomena, Li Changan chose "Three-Point Return to Origin Qi".

[Consume 8000 Red Dust Points to exchange for the secret book "Three-point Return to Yuanqi"]

The basis of San Fen Gui Yuan Qi is Tian Shuang Fist, Feng Shen Leg and Pai Yun Palm, which is then practiced from the outside to the inside to develop Tian Shuang Jin, Xu Yun Jin and Shen Feng Jin.

Afterwards, the three kinds of internal strength are integrated into one, and the Three-Point Return to Origin Qi of the great celestial level is practiced. After achieving the combination of internal and external, one can break through to the land immortal.

After exchanging for the Tianxiang Realm's skills, Li Changan began to recruit elite troops, and both the Xuanjia Army and the Baima Yicong were replenished to 5,000 people.

These 10,000 elite cavalry are enough to resist 100,000 cavalry from Beimang or Beiliang in the wild. If the opponent is infantry, they can charge and kill them at will as if they are in an empty space.

The Great Snow Dragon Cavalry, the only army in the world that could contend against the Black Armor Army, had now been crippled, with only two thousand men escaping.

[Consume 9000 Red Dust Points to exchange for 3000 elite Xuanjia Army templates! ]

[Consume 6000 Red Dust Points to exchange for 2000 Elite White Horse Volunteer Templates! ]

[Consume 7000 Red Dust Points to exchange for 7000 Tang Dynasty Guiyi Army templates! ]

After the supplement, the Tang Dynasty Guiyi Army with the fusion template also had 10,000 soldiers.

After this replenishment, the strength of Li Changan's fusion template reached 44,000 troops, and Li Changan's total troops had reached a full 160,000.

The armies of the fusion template are two thousand Modao soldiers, two thousand Baibi soldiers, five thousand Xuanjia soldiers, five thousand Baima Yicong, ten thousand Guiyi soldiers, and twenty thousand Tang cavalry.

After a battle with the Northern Liang army, Northern Liang was severely damaged, but Li Changan's army became stronger!

As Li Changan expected, seven days later Xu Zhihu personally arrived outside Jinchang City.

Xu Zhihu, who was known as the most beautiful woman in Beiliang, looked at Xu Fengnian with tears in her eyes who had been hung for half a month.

"Sister...Sister...I don't want to die..."

Looking at this younger brother who was exchanged for an entire state, Xu Zhihu had a vague thought in his mind that Xu Fengnian would be better off dead.

Life now is miserable and painful, and it would be extremely sad to return to Beiliang.

At this moment, Xu Fengnian looked like a dried corpse. He did not look like a teenager at all. He seemed to be dying.

"Wuwuwu... Wuwuwu..." Xu Fengnian started crying, and Xu Zhihu's heart softened again. Only then did she understand Xu Xiao.

"Don't cry, Fengnian. I'm here to take you back."

Hearing this, Xu Fengnian burst into tears.

With this cry, the last bit of confusion and resentment Xu Zhihu had towards Xu Xiao completely disappeared.

Xu Xiao knew that Xu Zhihu would never be able to go back now, so Xu Zhihu had no plans to go back.

The north wind is howling and the red clothes are fluttering.

"Princess Xu Zhihu of Beiliang requests to see His Royal Highness the King of Tang!"

Faced with Xu Zhihu's request for a meeting, the soldiers guarding the city and the Jinyiwei who were guarding Xu Fengnian all turned a blind eye.

But Xu Zhihu knew that the Anxi Protectorate, which was full of experts and had all-powerful connections, must have known that she was coming.

Half a day later, the sound of horse hooves was heard and Bluebird rode out of the city alone.

"Xu Zhihu, His Highness is busy, please wait for a moment, Princess."

Hearing Qingniao's cold reply, Xu Zhihu felt instantly filled with resentment.

However, she immediately thought of the great defeat that had occurred not long ago and the 100,000 Beiliang soldiers who had died.

Shazhou is not a place where people from Beiliang can show off their power.

Xu Zhihu bowed and said respectfully, "Your Majesty the King of Tang has just acquired Liangzhou, so I'm sure he's very busy."

"Please inform the King of Tang. Don't forget that I am waiting here."

Bluebird nodded in satisfaction, "It's good that you know. His Highness will summon the princess after he is done with his work."

The princess's entourage and guards all wanted to speak up for her, but they all remained silent amid Xu Zhihu's sigh.

Of course they felt aggrieved, but what could they do? The one who felt the most aggrieved was the princess.

As a fiancée, I went to his house in person, but he didn't even want to see me.

humiliation!Naked humiliation!
Xu Zhihu was in mixed feelings because the mysterious Tang King Li Changan in the city was her future husband.

She didn't know how this enemy-like husband would treat her.

Become a principal wife? That is absolutely impossible. I am afraid that being a concubine like Xu Weixiong would be a blessing.

Xu Zhihu knew very well that Li Changan was expressing his dissatisfaction with his disappearance and escape from marriage.

In fact, it was not until Xu Zhihu actually stood at the gate of Jinchang City that he really began to consider what kind of person Li Changan was.

If we don't consider it from Beiliang's perspective, His Royal Highness the King of Tang seems to be very popular.

This can be seen from the people coming and going, and can also be heard from their discussions.

Because of Li Changan's arrival, Shazhou regained three counties. Currently, except for Dunhuang County which is in the hands of Beimang, the other six counties are in the hands of Li Changan.

Li Changan eliminated the brutal foreign races, stabilized the refugees in two or three years, and made the six counties of Shazhou truly prosperous.

This king of a different surname, who was as powerful as his father, had only been in power for four years and was not even twenty-two years old, more than a year younger than himself.

From the discussions of the people of Shazhou along the way, it can be heard that His Majesty the King of Tang is a hero in the eyes of the people.

The sun rises and then sets.

Xu Zhihu had been waiting at the door. Without Li Changan's consent, she could not take Xu Fengnian away.

At this moment, Li Changan was indeed busy, busy talking about chess with Xu Wei.

Xue Songguan and Huyan Guanyin were watching attentively from the side, their brows furrowed.

Xu Weixiong's forehead was covered with sweat and he was about to lose again.

Li Changan was confident of victory, and his hand under the table had already climbed onto Huyan Guanyin's leg.

Huyan Guanyin, who was watching the chess game attentively, suddenly bit his lower lip and his breathing became rapid.

Xue Songguan watched for a long time and could not help but sigh, "The prince is unrivaled in hand-to-hand combat. The three of us together are no match for him."

Li Changan played with Huyan Guanyin's jade feet. Huyan Guanyin's eyes were charming and she let out an alluring moan from the depths of her throat.

Xue Songguan saw this and said bitterly, "The prince is fickle-minded. Ever since Sister Guanyin came, he has forgotten all of us."

Li Changan walked up along Huyan Guanyin's legs, then hugged Huyan Guanyin and Xue Songguan in his arms, one on the left and one on the right.

"Come on, all three of you. I have nothing to fear!"

Li Changan was very busy, and Xu Zhihu waited outside the city for seven whole days.

On the morning of the seventh day, Qingniao drove a carriage with Jiang Si to pick up Xu Zhihu.

Xu Zhihu had no expression on his face and could only get on Bluebird's carriage.

The carriage passed through the streets of Jinchang, and Xu Zhihu observed the scenes on the street along the way.

This place is more prosperous than the counties along the way and more friendly than Beiliang.

The streets are spacious and clean, and they are well connected. People come and go, and they all seem to feel safe.

When the common people saw the royal carriage, they would stand by the roadside and salute respectfully. Their expressions showed fear of power.

This is different from the submission brought about by Xu Fengnian and Chu Lushan who exploited the people. This feeling is respect.

After arriving at the Prince Tang's Mansion, Xu Zhihu was secretly surprised by the cultural atmosphere of the Palace.

The carved beams and painted buildings, pavilions and towers are refreshing.

According to the legends along the way, Tang King Li Changan was a perfect man who knew everything.

Looking at the scenery of the palace now, it has surpassed the Beiliang Palace.

After many twists and turns, Xu Zhihu finally met her future husband.

This legendary young hero is a local tyrant.

"I have met the prince."

Li Changan could hear that Xu Zhihu's voice was trembling.

Unexpectedly, Xu Zhihu, who was as ferocious as a wolf and a tiger, became cowardly before he even spoke.

Li Changan said calmly, "Princess, please don't be polite."

"I am busy with worldly affairs, thank you for waiting for me, Princess."

When Xu Zhihu saw Li Changan's face, he was stunned for a moment, because the man in front of him was extremely handsome.

Just looking at his appearance, who would know that His Royal Highness the King of Tang has already achieved a cultivation level unmatched among the earthly immortals.

"Your Highness is very polite. I am grateful to you for meeting me and taking my brother back."

Xu Zhihu calmed down in a flash and got to the point.

"After the princess granted me marriage, the Beiliang Palace said you were missing."

"I was so worried that I asked the Royal Guards to look for him everywhere. Fortunately, God has blessed me and nothing serious happened."
