Things evolved like this, Emperor Wucheng, who had not advanced an inch for a hundred years, was depressed, and all his former cronies looked at Li Yingyun, and he became a loner again. What worries him even more is whether Li Laozu's retreat is really to deal with the thunderstorm, or is he simply taking this opportunity to hand over power to Li Yingyun?

If it is the latter, it will confirm the Li family's disobedience? The Barbarian Emperor Wu Clan has always claimed to the outside world that there are three major Yuan Babies sitting in the imperial city, but the problem is that it has now reached the stage of lack of success. The three Yuan Infant Taishang were all over two thousand five hundred years old, and even if they used the secret method of increasing their longevity, they could only extend their longevity for another three or five hundred years at most. And the price of using the secret method of increasing longevity is to completely lose the hope of advancing to the gods.

Although outside the imperial city, there are four or five Yuanying Taishang on the Wu family's family tree, but these Taishang real people are either secluded, or they go to the depths of the wilderness to wander and practice, and the natal candle lanterns enshrined in the Yuanling Hall show that they are still in the world, but their whereabouts are unknown.

In contrast, above the court, the left and right phases are all Yuanying cultivation, and there are still four major gates outside the court, and there are also Yuanying under them. Although these four major lords are all retainers who followed the first ancestor of the Wu family, Xuanhuang Dajun, to fight the world, after 10,000 years, how much loyalty these four families still have to the Wu family, who can say clearly?

In the past one or two hundred years, the Barbarian Emperor Wu Clan has still been beautiful on the surface, but its essence of being strong on the outside and dry on the outside cannot escape the eyes of people with a heart. Some people of insight even pointed out that the Wu clan is currently experiencing a crisis moment that has never been seen in its 10,000-year heritage. Once the three Yuan Babies sitting in the Imperial City ride away, the Wu Clan's absolute dominance in the number of Yuan Babies for 10,000 years will be completely broken.

For Emperor Wu Cheng, there are only two ways to save the situation, one is to hope that the people of the Wu clan can advance to the Yuan Infant, so as to transfer them to the imperial city and become the mainstay of the Wu clan in the next two thousand years.

And counting the thirty-six Jindan ancestors of the Wu clan all over the place, in terms of talent cultivation, it is possible to achieve only one palm of the Yuan Infant in the next hundred years, of which two are in the western and southern parts of the wilderness, plus one on the eastern Falling Star Seaside. And the two Jin Dan in the west of the barbarian emperor are Wu Qingshan, the king of Cangshan County, and Wu Qingyuan, the prince of Linyuan, among them, Wu Qingyuan has a greater chance.

In addition to digging and cultivating power from within the Wu clan, another way to consolidate the throne is to form alliances. For Emperor Wu Cheng, there were not many objects to choose from, and the alliance he finally chose was not Liang Changqing, who was born in Liang Valve on the left, but Tang Yanyi, who was on the right.

Unlike Liang Changzong, a character who was born in the four major families of the Wu Dynasty, Tang Yanyi's background is not prominent, although he is not from a poor family, the Tang family is definitely not prominent among the many families of the Wu Dynasty. Tang Yan's three-hundred-year-old Jindan achievement, if his qualifications are placed in the western border of Dacang Mountain, it can naturally be regarded as outstanding, but when it is placed above the court of the Wu Dynasty, when geniuses are everywhere, the three-hundred-year-old Cheng Dan can only get a not bad comment.

As soon as Tang Yan knew that it would be difficult to get ahead in the center of the court, he took the initiative to resign and go to the extreme north to guard Tiejing City. Many people think that Tang Yanyi is simply crazy, a place like the one in Tiejing City where birds don't, no one wants to give as much money as possible. Someone said that the ancestor of Jindan, even if the foundation building monk heard the word Tiejingcheng, he was reluctant to move forward.

Who knew that after Tang Yan arrived in Tiejing City, he worked hard for a hundred years, and he actually found the traces of the Tushan people who had been lost for many years from the extreme north through clues.

It stands to reason that such a thing as exterminating the Tushan barbarians should be done by the four major gate valve beams, Ling, Yin, and Lu Zhong's Yuan Ying Taishang, who are guarding the Quartet. Tang Yan sent messages to the Liang Valve who was guarding the north one after another, but all of them were lost in the sea, Tang Yan ran to the imperial city in a fit of rage, and beat the heaven-shaking drum in front of the main hall, forcing the Wu clan Yuanying who guarded the imperial city to come to the extreme north in person and kill the three barbarian kings of the Tushan barbarians.

However, after this delay, in the end, the Tushan barbarians were not able to cut down the grass and eradicate the roots, and some of the barbarians were young and elite under the leadership of the great barbarian witch, and they fled early when they saw the opportunity.

In other words, if you are an ordinary court official with a foreign surname, you will be helpless when you encounter such a situation, and you will be relieved to receive a reward from the court. But Tang Yanyi did something that many people couldn't imagine, he actually signed a joint name with 180 officials with foreign surnames of the Wu Dynasty, and ruthlessly participated in the Liang Valve, and by the way, he pointed out the various drawbacks of the Wu Dynasty's gate valve system.

Although with the strength of Emperor Wucheng, he can't help the four major gates, but the name Tang Yanyi is firmly in his heart. And Tang Yanyi also became a representative figure of a poor court official above the court because of this move.

Although Tang Yanyi's righteous actions brought him great prestige, he was also counterattacked by the joint efforts of the four major gates, and Emperor Wucheng was forced to send Tang Yanyi to Black Rock City, a small city on the shore of the Falling Star Sea in the east, to be an idle official.

Tang Yanyi has been a city lord in Black Rock City for nearly a hundred years, perhaps his mood has changed, and his cultivation has improved by leaps and bounds. Suddenly, one day, when the sun was setting in the west, the originally gray eastern sky dome suddenly appeared the true body of the Yuanying who was able to stand up to the sky and the earth, and Tang Yanyi, an idler who was demoted to Black Rock City, advanced to the Yuanying.

At this moment, the government and the opposition shook, and even the four major valves who worked together to suppress him at the beginning lost their temper. It is not uncommon for a monk who has achieved Jindan in three hundred years, but a guy who can condense the Yuan Infant in less than six hundred years is definitely a genius who is not born in the wilderness!

Tang Yanyi was invited back to the imperial city by Emperor Wucheng in a high-profile manner, and Xu Yi was in charge of the right minister of the court, in charge of the army, the second department of rites, and Liang Changzong, who was in charge of the second department of punishment and the second department, and Li Yingyun, who controlled the second department of household and work, became a three-legged situation. Tang Yanyi was accepted by Emperor Wucheng as a confidant, and he was the most dazzling official star rising above the court in the past hundred years of the Wu Dynasty.

As for the so-called Houdang Chu clan, its rise is quite intriguing. First of all, the time when the Chu clan began to intervene in the court was about the same as the time point of Tang Yanyi's rise, and, judging from the rumors, the relationship between the Empress Chu and the current Emperor Wu has always been described by the word harmony.

Different from the deep-rooted four major gates, the Chu clan is a southern upstart that has only risen in the past three thousand years, and even in the early days of the rise of the Chu clan, there were rumors that they had a close relationship with the southern barbarians, until the Chu clan moved north, and then the Chu family married today, and those rumors about the barbarians were self-defeating.

The blood feud between the Wu clan and the barbarians lasted for ten thousand years, and no matter how confused Emperor Wucheng was, he would not marry a woman who had anything to do with the barbarians into the palace.
