Chapter 123 Princess Longyun
Chapter 123 Princess Longyun
Last time we talked about Li Yi and Tuoba Jun, who called each other brothers, drinking, chatting and discussing national policies in the imperial study, when they suddenly heard a noise coming from outside the door. This is the Wei Imperial Palace, so what was going on with the noise? Let's read on.
Tuoba Jun and Li Yi could clearly hear Tong Qing's dissuasion: "Your Highness, I beg you, please don't go in, leave me a way to live! Your Highness, Your Highness!"
Tuoba Jun asked coldly: "What's the commotion outside?"
At this time, a woman's soft voice came: "Brother, it's me! I came to see you!"
Upon hearing this, Tuoba Jun quickly said, "Xiuyuan, hide quickly! My sister is here with bad intentions!"
Li Yi asked: "Ah? Hiding? Where?"
Tuoba Jun pointed at the imperial desk and said, "Just make do with it for now and hide underneath!"
Li Yi wondered, "Ah? Why should I hide?"
Tuoba Jun pulled Li Yi and pushed him under the table, saying, "My sister takes after my mother. She is a heroine, but my mother never lets her leave the palace, so she has a bad temper. I'm afraid of her when she gets angry. If she knows you are here, nothing good will happen. Stop talking nonsense and go in quickly without making any noise!" As he said that, he kicked Li Yi under the table. Li Yi fell under the table speechless, and then he heard the sound of the door opening.
Woman: "I am here to pay my respects to you, brother. Why aren't you wearing a dragon robe?"
Tuoba Jun: "Oh, I drank a lot of wine and felt a little hot, so I took it off."
Woman: "Brother, are you drinking alone? Then why are there two cups on this small table?"
Tuoba Jun: "Ah, I was drinking with Li Yi, but we got into an argument about Xue Mei, and he left. You know that a talented person like him is very arrogant, and he doesn't even take me, the emperor, seriously! Alas!"
Woman: "Why, does Li Yi dare to compete with the emperor for a woman?"
Tuoba Jun: "Why not? There is nothing in this world that he dares not do! By the way, what are you doing here, sister?"
Woman: "Nothing, I just missed my brother and came to see you."
Tuoba Jun: "Oh, so, how about my sister come and have a few drinks with me? Let's celebrate together. Go get another cup! My sister and I will have a few more drinks."
Woman: "No need, brother, drink it yourself. I'll go see if Li Yi has gone far away."
Tuoba Jun: "According to the time, he may have left the palace. What do you want to see him for?"
The woman said: "I have not yet met this most talented scholar in Wei, who is famous in Shangjing, and my brother is unwilling to introduce him to me."
Tuoba Jun: "Sister, if you want to see him, it's easy. I'll take you to the hunting grounds during the autumn hunting next year, and you'll be able to see him then."
The woman said: "Next year's autumn siege, brother, you are too insincere. If you really want me to see him, you should issue an imperial decree to call him back so that I can see him."
Tuoba Jun: "Sister, please stop messing around. How can you issue such an order?"
Woman: "I knew you weren't sincere. Never mind. I'll go after him."
Tuoba Jun: "Nonsense, as a princess, why are you chasing him?"
Woman: “None of your business!”
Then there was the sound of a door opening and closing. After a while, Tuoba Jun lifted the table curtain and waved to Li Yi, saying, "Xiuyuan can come out now."
Li Yi came out from under the table and asked, "What's wrong with your sister? Why does she have to see me?"
Tuoba Jun shook his head and said, "If I tell you that she wants to fight you, would you believe it?"
Li Yi exclaimed, "Ah, so this is what the female hero means? Just because I defeated Zhai Baishan, she wants to fight me?"
Tuoba Jun nodded and said, "Your reputation has spread in the palace. I don't know who spread it. It is said that you are both civil and military. Your literary talent can be passed down through the ages, and your martial talent can kill generals and defend the border."
Li Yi laughed and said, "Whoever spread this is really unskillful. He can't even say something like a man of letters can pacify the world with his pen, or a man of martial arts can rule the world with his horse."
Tuoba Jun patted Li Yi on the shoulder and said, "Look, this is your character! So don't always play humble with me..."
Before Tuoba Jun finished speaking, the door opened and a woman in purple walked into the imperial study, pointed at Tuoba Jun's nose and cursed: "Tuoba Jun! I knew you were deliberately not letting me see him!"
Tuoba Jun looked confused and said, "Sister, you left!"
Li Yi then saw the woman in purple. A woman from the royal family was naturally a first-class beauty, but what really stunned Li Yi was not her beauty and figure, but a kind of temperament, an indescribable temperament, not like a queen, not like a princess, not as unattainable as a fairy, not as lovable as a girl next door, but a kind of intimacy with a sense of distance, a doting with a sense of awe, and a hazy familiarity.
The purple-clothed woman stared at Tuoba Jun and squeezed out a sentence from between her teeth: "Tuoba Jun, just wait for me, I will deal with you after I meet the most talented man in Wei!"
Tuoba Jun quickly stood in front of Li Yi and said, "Sister, don't be impulsive. Xiuyuan is a talented person in our Wei Dynasty. Don't..."
Before Tuoba Jun could finish his words, the purple-clothed woman waved her hand and Tuoba Jun was pushed to the pillar by an unknown force. Then the woman shouted, "Li Yi, I heard that you defeated the most courageous warrior on the northwest grassland. Let me meet you today!"
Li Yi quickly stretched out his hands to stop him, saying, "Your Highness, no, no, I am just a scholar, I am weak as a chicken! How can I fight with you!"
The woman snorted coldly, "You still want to trick me! Watch out!" After that, she stretched out her right hand and grabbed Li Yi, as if he was held by an invisible big hand, and then led out of the imperial study.
The woman clenched her fist with one hand, leaped a few times in the palace, and came to the martial arts training ground in the imperial city. In mid-air, she waved her right hand as if she was throwing a stone, and Li Yi was instantly thrown to the ground, stirring up a cloud of dust. The law of smoke without injury was indeed true.
After the dust settled, Li Yi dusted off his clothes, covered his mouth and nose and said, "Princess, even if you want to spar with me, why do you have to do this..."
Before he could finish his words, the invisible hand punched him in the air. Then came the second punch, the third punch, the fourth punch... Li Yi rose and fell in the air several times before being knocked to the ground again.
But this time Li Yi was not so miserable. After the smoke and dust, Li Yi, dressed in purple and gold, stood in the field and looked at the purple-dressed princess opposite him. He learned his lesson and didn't say any nonsense. Instead, he rushed over. The princess started to rush at the same time. When the two were about to collide, Li Yi made a plan and used a gas barrier in front of him.
However, his plan was useless. The princess' fist reached him unhindered. The two of them exchanged punches, and Li Yi was knocked away again. He couldn't figure out what method the princess used. He didn't have the means to transform his martial arts into strength. After landing, he took several steps back before stopping.
Princess Purple said with a smile: "You are just like me, how can you beat the number one in the grassland?"
Li Yi asked in return: "You are a princess, why didn't you attend the Queen Mother's birthday banquet?"
Princess Ziyi said unhappily, "My mother was afraid that I would cause trouble for Dugu Long, so she didn't let me go!"
Li Yi smiled faintly, then summoned the ten-foot-tall image of Acalanatha to attack again. The purple-clothed princess raised the corner of her mouth and then punched down with both fists. There was a loud bang, as if a huge rock had fallen.
What surprised the princess was that her attack did not hit Li Yi at all, because when she swung her hand and hit down, Li Yi had already put away the image of Acalanatha. He just used the power of the image of Acalanatha to increase his speed.
Before the princess could react, Li Yi had already rushed in front of her and swung his fist. The princess in purple closed her eyes, but did not wait for the next move. When she opened her eyes again, she saw Li Yi's fist stopped in front of her forehead.
She was dissatisfied and angry. Just when she was about to attack again, Li Yi's fist turned into a head-bang and hit her forehead heavily.
"Ah!" Princess Purple screamed, then covered her head, took a few steps back, and sat down on the ground.
At this time, Tuoba Jun brought Manager Zhou and Tong Qing to the martial arts training ground. Seeing his sister sitting on the ground with her head covered, he shouted, "Li Yi, don't get hurt..."
Before Tuoba Jun could finish his words, he saw the princess in purple glaring at him with red eyes. He swallowed back his previous words in an instant and said to Steward Zhou, "Standard Zhou, I'll leave it to you now. Don't let him beat her up twice. Then send Ziyi to the Queen Mother and let her decide." After saying that, he ran away.
Manager Zhou smiled and walked forward to Li Yi, bowed and said, "Master Yuefu, long time no see."
Li Yi returned the greeting and said, "Hello, Steward Zhou. May I ask why His Majesty is so afraid of Her Royal Highness the Princess? And what kind of martial arts is Her Royal Highness the Princess using? It doesn't look like the Taoist art of controlling objects to me."
Steward Zhou reached out and helped Princess Ziyi up. The latter pulled Steward Zhou's hand with an unhappy look on her face and said coquettishly: "Master, the moves you taught me don't work. I can't beat him! You have to teach me a few more moves!"
Steward Zhou used a whisk to sweep the dust off the princess and then said with a smile, "Your Highness also knows that the Queen Mother does not allow me to teach you martial arts. If the Queen Mother agrees, let alone martial arts, I am willing to teach you everything I have learned in my life without reservation. But now the Queen Mother has not agreed."
Tuoba Ziyi whispered, "Why don't you teach me secretly? If you teach me and let me defeat this kid, then my mother will be happy and will agree to let you teach me martial arts!"
Manager Zhou was surprised and said, "Ah? No, no, if the Queen Mother knew about this, we would lose our heads!"
The princess said coquettishly, "Yes, yes, just teach me one move, just one move, as long as I can beat this boy."
Li Yi coughed and bowed, saying, "If there is nothing else, then please forgive me for my offense, Your Highness, and allow me to leave."
Ziyi looked at Li Yi and said, "I can't beat you now, don't be arrogant, wait for me to learn a few more moves from my master and I can beat you to pieces! Do you believe it?"
Li Yi bowed and said, "The princess is worth a lot of gold, how can I not believe it?"
Tuoba Ziyi said coldly: "Then you just wait for me!"
She turned to Manager Zhou and said, "Master, hurry up and teach me now!"
Li Yi was surprised and asked, "Ah? Your Highness Princess, do you want to learn and apply it right away?"
Ziyi looked at Li Yi and asked, "Why not?"
Li Yi's face was full of black lines. He looked at the steward Zhou, who smiled faintly and said, "Lord Yuefu, you don't know that our Great Wei's Princess Longyun is very talented, has good luck, and has extraordinary telekinesis. She is a rare genius in a century. She learns everything very quickly. If you really teach her unique skills, it will not be difficult for you, not to mention Dugu Long."
Li Yi thought: Shit, I thought I was the only one cheating, but after coming to Shangjing, I encountered so many cheating people, Confucianism and Taoism cheating, martial arts cheating, and now even a girl cheating. Speaking of girls, this girl is really good-looking, the more I look at her, the prettier she becomes, and the more I like her, the more I like her.
It's a pity that he's a moron, otherwise, forget it. I just made a gentleman's agreement with Tuoba Jun to compete for Xue's sister! How come I've already fallen for his sister in the blink of an eye? Why am I such a scumbag now?
Alas, I ended up living the life I hate the most. Li Yi, you can't do this! Although Princess Longyun looks... Wait, what did Manager Zhou say about her just now? Good luck? Superb telekinesis? What the hell is good luck? Is telekinesis a superpower?
Chief Steward Zhou saw Li Yi's confusion and said with a smile: "Didn't Lord Yuefu ask what kind of skills Her Royal Highness the Princess used? It is telekinesis, and this kind of power is not within the four paths, even the Confucian and Taoist forbidden spells cannot restrict it."
Li Yi bowed and said, "I see. I am very grateful for your advice. It seems that I am really ignorant and uneducated."
