Stunning beauty

Li Yuan.

The inner court.

After Li Ziye came back, he immediately found Hong Zhu.

Red Candle has always been in charge of placing the eyes.

As the intelligence leader of Yanyu Building, Hong Zhu holds a lot of eyes and hidden stakes in his hands, and has made great contributions not only to Yanyu Building, but also to the development of the Li family.

The Li family only trusts their own people, so, of course, key positions like intelligence chiefs will not be handed over to outsiders.

"Do you want to put eyeliner in the palace?"

In the inner courtyard, Red Candle heard the young master's request, his expression was fixed, and he said, "This is not easy. The Dashang Palace is heavily guarded, and everyone who enters the palace will be strictly checked. We have also spent a lot of effort before. Only a few pairs of eyes were inserted."

"It's not easy but you have to do it."

Li Ziye said sternly, "Think of a way, use the money as you need, as long as you can put people in, it doesn't matter how much money you have."

"Ok."

Seeing the determined expression of the young master in front of him, Hong Zhu nodded and said, "I'll find a way to arrange it."

"Thank you, Miss Hongzhu."

Li Ziye responded, seeming to have thought of something, and asked, "By the way, sister Hongzhu, is there anyone with us by Emperor Shang's side?"

"There is one."

Red Candle replied, "It has been in the palace for many years, but it has not been activated for fear of arousing suspicion."

Hearing this, Li Ziye narrowed his eyes slightly, and said, "It's time to activate."

"it is good."

Hong Zhu nodded lightly, and responded.

"As for the placement of the eyes, we must hurry up. We still know too little about the palace."

Li Ziye said in a deep voice, "If my guess is correct, there may be power above the five realms in the palace, but I don't know what it is."

"Above the Five Realms?"

Hong Zhu's expression was startled, with an expression of disbelief on his face.

how is this possible.

In this world, besides the head of the Confucian school, is there anyone else who can cross that natural moat?

"Ah."

Li Ziye nodded, and said solemnly, "Before, I thought that the reason why a peerless powerhouse like the Sanchijian was enshrined by the royal family was because the royal family had more resources for cultivation, and the two parties were just a cooperative relationship. From today's perspective, this is not the case at all. , the performance of the Three Foot Sword is too obedient, as a great cultivator at the top of the five realms, he changed his mind because of a word from the general, and gave up fighting with the senior Tianjian, this is too strange."

After listening to the young master's analysis, Hong Zhu's gaze became serious, and she said, "It's really not normal, not to mention a strong man like the Three-foot Sword, even ordinary warriors, when they meet opponents of the same level, they either don't fight or fight. You will definitely want to decide the winner, there is no reason to give up when you are halfway through the fight."

"If something goes wrong, there must be a demon, so there must be something wrong with that palace."

Li Ziye looked in the direction of the palace and said, "We have always underestimated the people there."

After finishing speaking, Li Ziye withdrew his gaze, looked at the woman in front of him, and said, "Sister Hongzhu, you go to work first, and I'll go and follow Master Fairy's words."

"it is good."

Hong Zhu nodded, turned and left.

Li Ziye looked at the room not far away, and walked over.

Master Fairy, as a great cultivator at the top of the Five Realms, perhaps, can know some secrets of that palace.

In a room not far away.

Sitting in front of the tea table, Qin Grace frowned from time to time as she looked at the Feixianjue technique in her hands.

After the seventh form, there are eighth and ninth forms. I am afraid that Jian Chi's method will not work anymore.

The seventh form, swordsmanship masters around the third level, can barely practice it with one move per person, but the eighth form, even if one person only performs one move, it needs a warrior close to the fourth level.

Seventy-two swordsmanship masters who are close to the fourth level, even if they are Confucianists, it is impossible to get them out.

As for the ninth form, the requirements are even more stringent, and manpower is already out of reach.

Difficult.

If her guess is correct, thousands of years ago, the first sword god Li Taibai should have broken through the barriers of the five realms and reached a realm similar to that of the Confucian leader.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to create a technique like Feixianjue that transcends the five realms.

"Master Fairy."

Just when Qin Grace was thinking, there was a knock on the door outside the room.

"Come in."

Qin Grace regained her senses, put away the Feixian Jue's exercises, and responded.

With a creak, Li Ziye pushed the door open and entered, looked at Lao Qin who was sitting in front of the tea table, with a smile on his face, and said, "Master Fairy, have you healed yet?"

"What's the matter, tell me directly." Qin Grace said lightly.

Li Ziye smiled awkwardly, walked forward, sat down across the tea table, and said, "It's nothing, I just want to ask Master Fairy if he knows much about the Dashang Palace."

"not much."

Qin Grace asked calmly, "Why, the Li family has confronted the royal family so soon?"

"That's not it."

Li Ziye picked up the teapot, poured himself a cup of tea, and said while drinking, "I just felt that the palace was underestimated before. Today, the Sanchi Sword and Tianjian Ruoye are fighting, who knows, just now Halfway through the fight, I was immediately called back by an edict from Emperor Shang, which really made me a little confused, although the imperial power is powerful, it shouldn't make Sanchijian so afraid."

"The royal family of the merchants, the Li family can't afford to provoke them."

Qin Granny stared at the disciple in front of her, and said seriously, "Your decision to transfer the Li family's business to Donghai is right."

"I've always known that Dashang is a giant, so I've been doing my best to prepare as much as possible for every step I take."

Li Ziye paused while holding the teacup, and said, "It's just that I didn't expect that a mere imperial palace would be so terrifying, so terrifying that even a peerless sword fairy would bow his head."

Speaking of this, Li Ziye seemed to remember something, put down the teacup in his hand, picked up the teapot again, poured a cup of tea for Master Fairy in front of him, and said softly, "Master Fairy, drink tea."

"Eight years ago."

Qin Graa looked at the teacup in front of her, picked it up, took a sip, and said calmly, "Master Jian Jue actually came to the capital of the Great Merchants once, and broke into the Imperial Palace of the Great Merchants, when his lifespan was about to expire."

Li Ziye's expression was shocked when he heard the words, and he asked in surprise, "Why?"

"For no reason, in this world, which one of the five realms who knows the fate of destiny doesn't want to see what is in the palace shrouded by the dragon aura of the great merchant."

Qin Grace sighed softly, "I think so too, but I know, I can't break into that palace."

"Master Fairy, too?" Li Ziye asked in surprise.

"No."

Qin Grace said with a complicated expression, "Originally, there were some things I didn't want to tell you so early, but since you asked, it's okay to tell you. Twenty years ago, Master Jian Jue achieved the Great Mastery of the Three Great Swords, and his strength reached the fifth realm for a short time. Jue Dian, even has a tendency to break through the five realms. The Three Absolute Swords are different from ordinary skills. After they are completed, both their cultivation base and their strength will increase by leaps and bounds. My lord, knowing the destiny, I don’t want to just disappear, come to the capital alone, and forcibly break into the Dashang Palace.”

"How is the result?"

Li Ziye asked anxiously.

"A fiasco."

Qin Grace said in a deep voice, "I was defeated by a strange strong man who didn't even know his name. Soon after returning, Master Jianjue passed away."

Li Ziye was shocked, a fiasco?

How can this be.

Master Jian Jue has reached the peak of the five realms, and even has a tendency to break through the five realms. Even if he meets a strong man who is also at the top of the five realms, it is impossible to end up in a disastrous defeat.

Could it be that there are really existences above the five realms in the palace?

"Is it a cultivator above the five realms?"

Li Ziye came back to his senses and asked in a deep voice.

"do not know."

Qin Grae shook her head and said, "After all, except for the Confucian leader, no one knows what kind of realm is above the five realms, but there is no doubt that there is power beyond the limit of the world in the palace. Invincible, moreover, Master Jianjue was blocked when he first entered the palace, and he didn't see the real appearance of the palace at all, maybe there is an even more terrifying power in the palace of Dashang."

"boom!"

Hearing this, Li Ziye couldn't help but clenched his fist and slammed the table, his expression sank completely.

He had repeatedly warned himself not to underestimate the royal family of the great merchants, but unexpectedly, they still underestimated the enemy.

What is there in that palace.

The world is so big, and countless celestial beings can't cross that natural moat. Why, in that palace, there will be power beyond the limit of the world.

"Remember, unless it's absolutely necessary, don't tear yourself apart with the big business royal family."

Qin Grace looked at the disciple in front of her, and reminded her seriously, "I know that the Li family also hides a large part of its power, but it is still far behind the Great Shang imperial family. To the point where there is no way to go, retreat as much as you can, and endure as much as you can.”

Li Ziye heard Master Fairy's reminder, his eyes flashed, and he said, "I understand."

The next day.

It was not yet dawn.

Li Ziye left Li Garden in a hurry, and went to Taixue Palace for morning class as usual.

After morning class.

East courtyard.

Li Ziye came here to return the heavenly book, and even more so to ask the Confucian chief some questions.

"Yesterday, it was too messy."

In the vegetable garden, Kong Qiu squatted down and carefully checked the growth of each vegetable.

The heavenly book was casually thrown on the lid of the wooden barrel, it looked like an ordinary torn book.

"I have to."

Li Ziye said helplessly, "Who would have thought that the Heavenly Sword and that sword enshrined would fight if they couldn't keep an eye on it. Fortunately, they only destroyed some houses and a few streets, and did not hurt people's lives. Otherwise, we would be in great trouble." gone."

Fortunately, this matter involved the royal family's sword worship, and there were no accidents among the common people. The imperial court must be like the Li family, wanting to make big things into small things, and pay some money to settle the matter.

The current result is really a blessing in misfortune.

"Heavenly Sword Ruoye, aiming to prove the sword."

Confucius pulled out a few weeds in the vegetable garden, and said, "His Taoism has reached its peak, and only by constantly fighting with strong men of the same level can he break through the bottleneck and prove himself. , just to find an opponent.”

"Trouble."

Li Ziye sighed, "We must find a way to send the Heavenly Sword out of the capital, otherwise, what happened yesterday will happen again."

"I don't care about this matter, you can handle it yourself. Since Tianjian is already in Li Yuan, how to deal with it is up to you." Kong Qiu said casually.

Li Ziye was stunned when he heard the words, and said, "Confucian chief, you can't be the treasurer, you left the Heavenly Sword in Li Garden, how can you ignore it."

"The benefits are all yours, people, and of course you will deal with them."

Kong Qiu said without raising his head, "Change the subject, if it's okay, you can go back."

Li Ziye curled his lips and said, "There is one more small matter, I want to ask you, the head of Confucianism, Master Xianzi said that 20 years ago, Master Jianjue forced his way into the palace, and was stopped by an unknown person the moment he entered the palace. Come down, Confucian Chief, do you know who that person is?"

"do not know."

Kong Qiu shook his head and said, "I don't see what happens in the palace."

"That person, is he really above the five realms?" Li Ziye said in a concentrated voice.

"Probably not."

Confucius replied, "If you are above the five realms, you will not be able to get out of the palace with the Three Absolute Swords."

"Isn't it above the five realms, and the strength is far above the peak of the five realms?"

Li Ziye was a little confused, and said in bewilderment, "Confucian leader, this is unreasonable."

"There are always exceptions to everything."

Kong Qiu said softly, "For example, the scholar in the Tianyu Palace has not broken the barrier of the five realms, but his strength is enough to rival those above the five realms."

"The head of Confucianism means that there is such an existence as the Lord of the Heavenly Mandate Palace in the Great Shang Palace?" Li Ziye asked in surprise.

"Probably."

Kong Qiu nodded and said, "Of course, this is just an old guess."

"Confucian Chief, haven't you ever entered that imperial palace?" Li Ziye asked in a concentrated voice.

"I used to go in."

Kong Qiu straightened up, looked at the imperial palace in the distance, and said, "However, in the past hundred years, I have never been there again."

"Why?"

Li Ziye asked suspiciously, "With your respect as an old man, why can't you enter that palace?"

"Royal family, have thoughts."

Kong Qiu withdrew his gaze, sighed softly, and said, "They are afraid that the old man will see something he shouldn't see. Therefore, for a hundred years, the Shang emperors of all dynasties would rather go out of the palace to see the old man than call the old man into the palace."

"The head of Confucianism established Taixue and trained countless talents and important ministers for the big merchants. The royal family is actually wary of the head of Confucianism."

Li Ziye said with a complex expression, "The emperor's heart is truly unpredictable."

"Your Majesty, you want the Confucianism School to become the Confucianism School of the royal family."

Kong Qiu walked to the water tank, took a ladle of water, washed his hands, and continued, "Similarly, he also wants the wealth of the Li family to become the wealth of the royal family."

"Too much ambition is not a good thing."

Li Ziye said in a cold tone, "The Li family's wealth is earned by the Li family. The Li family is not willing to give it away, and no one can take it away."

"Then become stronger as soon as possible and guard your Li family."

Kong Qiu said calmly, "There are only a few months left before the battle between you and Huo Lin'er. If you can defeat her, all the people in the world will look at you with admiration. There is nothing wrong with hiding your clumsiness. You have to show your sharpness, otherwise, others will think you are weak and deceitful."

Li Ziye heard the reminder from the old man in front of him, pondered for a moment, then quickly came to his senses, nodded, saluted respectfully, and said, "Thank you for your guidance."
