Chapter 126: Searching for the Common Leader
Walking on the way to Honglu Temple, Jiang Mingche turned his head to look at Miyamoto Musashi and asked curiously.
"Who is representing Fuso to attend the International Lantern Festival this time?"
"It's Nakolu, the natural priestess of Fuso."
Miyamoto Musashi said in a deep voice.
His hands were always placed on the two swords at his waist, as if he was ready to fight the enemy at any time.
When he was in Fuso, he broke into the vampire lair alone.
In order to completely wipe out all the vampires, Miyamoto Musashi fought alone in the vampires' lair for seven days and seven nights.
Miyamoto Musashi did not sleep for seven days and seven nights, relying entirely on his strong willpower and the belief of revenge for Atong to hold on.
Draw the sword, sheath the sword, draw the sword, sheath the sword...
Being in the lair of the vampires, Miyamoto Musashi has to face the vampire army that may launch a surprise attack at any time.
It was also from that time that he developed the habit of unconsciously placing his hands on the sword at his waist.
After seven days and seven nights of fighting, relying on the long sword in his hand which had super lethality to the vampires, he basically slaughtered all the vampires in the vampire's nest.
Even Xu Fu, the leader of the blood clan, died tragically under his two swords.
Only those vampires who took the opportunity to escape during his duel with Xu Fu survived.
"Nakorulu?"
After hearing Miyamoto Musashi's answer, Jiang Mingche was stunned for a moment.
He really didn't expect that the person sent by Fuso Country this time was this woman who played with birds.
"Does the Regent know the witch?"
Seeing Jiang Mingche looking very surprised, Miyamoto Musashi asked in a deep voice.
"I didn't know him, but I got to know him very quickly..."
Jiang Mingche shook his head, a playful smile appearing on the corner of his mouth.
Dongfang Jing, Nakolulu, Sun Shangxiang......
And Yu Ji who came from Yunmengze in the Great River Basin...
If nothing unexpected happens, this crazy woman Haiyue will also come to Chang'an City to cause trouble in the next two days.
Tsk tsk.
This International Lantern Festival is becoming more and more interesting.
Daming Palace, outside the palace gate.
"Brother, do you think this sister will agree to meet the two of us?"
The soldier who went in to report had not returned yet, and Yu Ji couldn't help feeling worried.
Although Jiang Ziya told them about the existence of Wu Zetian, none of them had ever seen her.
Moreover, Yu Ji was not sure whether Wu Zetian knew about the existence of her and Zhang Liang.
The other party wouldn't think that my senior brother and I were swindlers, right?
After all, everyone knows that Wu Zetian has no relatives.
Nowadays, there are many scammers who come to claim to be related to Wu Zetian.
"I think so..."
"If Senior Sister knew of our existence, there would be no reason for her to not see us..."
Zhang Liang said this uncertainly, he was also a little unsure in his heart.
There was no other way, the two could only stare anxiously outside the palace gate, waiting for the soldiers who went to report to return.
It didn't take long for the soldier who went to report to come back soon, this time with a woman by his side.
A beautiful woman in a green dress.
"You two are His Majesty's junior brothers and sisters?"
After coming in front of Zhang Liang and Yu Ji, Shangguan Wan'er asked curiously.
Just now, when Wu Zetian personally admitted that she did have two junior brothers and sisters, Shangguan Wan'er was really shocked.
In the court, everyone knew that the current empress learned from the ancient magician Jiang Ziya, but no one had ever heard of Wu Zetian having any junior brothers or sisters.
Everyone thought that the ancient magician Jiang Ziya had only one disciple, Wu Zetian.
Only a rare human genius in magic like Wu Zetian could truly catch the eye of Jiang Ziya.
Jiang Ziya looks down upon people with mediocre talents.
"That's right, we are the junior brothers and junior brothers of the Empress..."
"My name is Yu Ji, and this is my senior brother Zhang Liang..."
"We are from Yunmengze in the Great River Basin. We are here to participate in your country's International Lantern Festival and to meet the senior sister whom I have long admired..."
Yu Ji took the initiative to take over the conversation and introduced herself to Shangguan Wan'er.
"In that case, please follow me."
"Your Majesty has been waiting in the palace for a long time."
Shangguan Wan'er said with a faint smile. After confirming the identities of the two, Shangguan Wan'er no longer hesitated and directly led the two towards Wu Zetian's palace.
Yu Ji and Zhang Liang looked at each other and quickly followed Shangguan Wan'er's pace.
"Your Majesty, your two junior brothers and sisters have arrived..."
Walking in the deep palace, Shangguan Wan'er finally brought Zhang Liang and Yu Ji to the imperial study, where she found Wu Zetian who was handling government affairs.
"Please sit down..."
Wu Zetian looked up at Zhang Liang and Yu Ji, and motioned for them to sit down.
She had only heard about it from Jiang Ziya before, and this was the first time she met her two junior brothers and sisters.
After getting Wu Zetian's consent, the two of them sat on the armchair beside them.
Yu Ji's slender hands were nervously clutching the corners of her clothes, and she looked a little restless.
Zhang Liang on the side seemed much calmer, at least on the surface.
After the two of them sat down, Shangguan Wan'er brought over a teapot and poured each of them a cup of hot tea.
"Thanks......"
Yu Ji opened her red lips and thanked Shangguan Wan'er.
I picked up the teacup and took a sip, which slightly relieved the tension in my heart.
Although Wu Zetian just sat there and did nothing, there was even a faint smile on her face.
However, Yu Ji still felt an unprecedented pressure. After all, the person sitting in front of her was the peerless empress.
"You are here in Chang'an to attend the International Lantern Festival, right?"
"In the past, I often heard Master mention you two..."
"He said that you are both geniuses who are not worldly. He searched for a long time in the Great River Basin before he met you two."
Wu Zetian smiled faintly and started chatting with the two of them.
After a conversation, Yu Ji's inner tension gradually faded away.
Rumor has it that this senior sister of mine is serious and always looks cold to people.
Now it seems that is not entirely true. It turns out that rumors are not credible.
At least Wu Zetian was very friendly towards the two of them and didn't always have a cold face.
"That's right, this time we came to Datang to participate in the International Lantern Festival."
"Everyone says that the International Lantern Festival in Chang'an is one of the great events in life that you cannot miss, so my junior sister and I came here because of its reputation."
"Once we entered the territory of the Tang Dynasty, we saw a scene that was completely different from Yunmengze."
"The faces of the people in the Tang Dynasty are all filled with happy smiles. Under the governance of Senior Sister, the entire Tang Dynasty is peaceful and the people live and work in peace and contentment..."
Zhang Liang took the initiative to take over the conversation and flattered her without saying a word.
He did not deliberately flatter Wu Zetian; everything he said came from his heart.
Prosperous Heluo, immortal Chang'an.
This sentence is not just talk.
As the overlord of the entire Heluo region, the Celestial Empire of the East.
The prosperity of the Tang Dynasty was far beyond the reach of the river basins where wars were frequent.
To the west of the great river basin, there is no sunrise or sunset, and people are always ruled by fear of the Yin-Yang School led by Donghuang Taiyi.
Although there are sunrises and sunsets in the east of the river basin, the people living there have a hard time because of the ongoing Chu-Han War in recent years.
In order to determine the outcome, Xiang Yu and Liu Bang never cared about the lives of ordinary people.
Compared with the suffering people in the river basins, the people living in the Tang Dynasty are countless times happier.
They should be thankful that they were born in the Tang Dynasty, an extremely powerful country that can protect them forever.
Except for the Heluo Tang Dynasty and the Jixia land, the other nine states of the King's Continent have been in constant war for years.
In order to annex the seven kingdoms, resist foreign races, and suppress the trenches, the Qin State of Xuanyong has been at war all the time.
Needless to say, the Three-Point Land and Fuso and other countries have been plagued by civil wars since ancient times.
Fuso has to be on guard against attacks from the blood clan's lair from time to time.
The grasslands of Mobei and the climate of the Far North are too harsh and are not suitable for ordinary people to live in.
As for the desert in the clouds...
Before coming here, Zhang Liang heard that someone seemed to have blazed a trail through the Thousand Caves City, Jade City, Golden Court City and other places in the desert of clouds... Far away in the Sunset Sea in the western continent, Zhang Liang heard that the environmental pollution in the Sunset Sea had become very serious.
The ruling family of Haidu, the Tower Family, has made the people of Haidu live in misery in order to obtain a special crystal energy.
Miledy, the contemporary ruler of the Tower Family, is an even more cruel woman.
Various wars were frequent throughout the Western continent, and only the elves in the legendary Elf Forest could escape.
He also heard that the elf princess Irene seemed to have left the Elf Forest and was now traveling in the King's Continent.
As to whether this news was true or false, Zhang Liang had no idea.
The Western Continent is infinitely far away from the Eastern Continent, and he has never been there.
No one doesn't like to be praised, and Wu Zetian is no exception.
After hearing Zhang Liang's words, Wu Zetian smiled even more and spoke in a humble manner.
"Junior brother, you are too kind. I don't deserve such praise..."
"I heard that you and Junior Sister Yu Ji have been searching for the so-called common leader of the world in the Great River Basin, hoping to put an end to the long-standing rebellion in the Great River Basin."
"Have you found this so-called world leader now?"
Wu Zetian asked curiously...
Although today was the first time she met Zhang Liang and Yu Ji, Wu Zetian was not unfamiliar with what the two had always done.
When she was practicing with Jiang Ziya in the past, Jiang Ziya also told her some of these things when he had nothing to do.
Under the instructions of Jiang Ziya, Zhang Liang and Yu Ji have been searching for the so-called common ruler of the world in the river basins.
After finding the common leader of the world, follow him and assist him in ruling the entire Yunmengze, ending the long-standing war.
"We have some clues now, but we are still not sure who this person is..."
"But what is certain is that the future ruler of the world in the Great River Basin is in Senior Sister's Chang'an City..."
Zhang Liang pondered for a while, then spoke slowly.
This time when I came to Chang'an City, in addition to participating in the International Lantern Festival, I also wanted to ask my senior sister about the whereabouts of my master.
Another most important reason is to find the future ruler of the world in the great river basins in Chang'an City.
"You said that the common ruler of the world in the Great River Basin is in my Chang'an City?"
After hearing Zhang Liang's words, Wu Zetian was stunned for a moment and her face became extremely strange.
How could the ruler of the world in the Great River Basin appear in her Chang'an City???
And since it was in Chang'an City, why didn't Zhang Liang and Yu Ji come to Chang'an City to look for it earlier, instead of just worrying about it in the river basin?
