The Lord who use immortals as food

"Carry it on your back? That doesn't seem to be thin."

"But he said it was okay, because that was the 'Five Classics' that he had read since he was a child." Li Xizhou said, "Qu Xin also said it was good. Writing down such a book without being disturbed is actually a reconstruction of cognition. And it doesn't have to be word for word. As long as there is something to rely on, we can see more clearly what the spiritual realm is like."

"That's true...but how long will it take him to write?"

"Today and night, it should be finished tomorrow." Li Xizhou said, "When Xuanmen does something seriously, it will always be faster than expected."

"Is this what Your Highness just talked about with Guo You?"

"Well, yesterday I read the file sent by the Immortal Terrace, and I thought at that time that Guo Pu must have a reason for being obsessed with the Goddess of Luo River, and it must not be because he was obsessed with Chen Si's poem... I know how to implicate the Guo family and the spiritual realm, and I also know what to ask." Li Xizhou said, "In this way, we can analyze Yu Sicheng's movements based on this."

Pei Ye nodded slowly, but he actually didn't realize what kind of poem "Meditation" was.

However, there were so many fu poems that he had not read that he did not care much about them.

"What about you? What were you thinking about just now?" Li Xizhou asked.

"Fight however you want."

"So, if Yu Sicheng suddenly appeared here and wanted to kill everyone in Zhujing Palace, could you kill him?"

"I can escape on my own and avenge His Highness in a few years."

"I heard that you like to compare yourself to Zhuge Liang, but you are clearly a Lu Bu."

"I am very loyal, but I am not as unrivaled as Lu Bu in the palace. Your Highness should still regard me as Zhao Yun."

Li Xizhou didn't say anything. He thought for a while and said, "Yes... If I were to say, Yu Sicheng is probably Lu Bu."

Pei Yezhen found this interesting and asked curiously, "Your Highness, did Zhao Yun fight Lu Bu in the book?"

"I thought you were familiar with the Romance of the Three Kingdoms."

"I have read some, but they are all stage scripts, scattered here and there."

Li Xizhou said calmly: "When Zhao Yun surrendered to Gongsun Zan, Lü Bu was already a warlord and occupied Yanzhou and Xuzhou. When Zhao Yun emerged under Liu Bei and became famous in the Battle of Changbanpo, Lü Bu had been dead for nearly ten years."

"So, did you fight?"

Li Xizhou glanced at him and said: "Gongsun Zan is outside the pass, and Lu Bu is by the river. What is there to fight?"

"So, there is a big age difference between the two of them."

"What play?"

"Zilong kills Fengxian with a single sword"

"..." Li Xizhou's golden face showed some expression, but he said calmly, "Then I'll wait for you to perform this scene for me."

"Actually, there are still some things I can't figure out." Pei Ye sighed softly. He lowered his head and looked at the scroll in his hand. "...This design is so smooth and flowing, but when I fought with Yu Sicheng, my sword hit the bone spur between his ribs."

"You may not always know the enemy before the battle. You must believe that my sword also has hidden tricks." Li Xizhou turned his head, and looked at him quietly with his beautiful pale eyes. "Don't worry too much. You know that you don't know everything about Yu Sicheng, but Yu Sicheng may think that he has seen through you. I transferred you to the palace, and I always believe in your sword."

Pei Ye lowered his head and shook Yuhu, and said softly: "Because I somehow feel that this will be a very important battle... maybe even more important than the one with Li Zhi, so there is always pressure."

Li Xizhou neither admitted nor refuted. After a moment of silence, he suddenly asked, "Can you tell me how many times you have experienced such 'important' battles in the past?"

Pei Ye was stunned for a moment, then looked up and thought: "Does winning and losing count?"

"...You have lost before?" Jinmian was slightly stunned.

"Ah." Pei Ye looked at her and smiled, "Otherwise, what do you think of me, Your Highness?"

Li Xizhou didn't say anything.

'A card that will win if played,' she thought.

"Let me think, there have been about four times when I felt similar to this." Pei Ye said, "The first time was Feng Huai's Mid-Autumn Martial Arts Competition. Now it seems like a small fight, but I still remember the feeling at that time. It was the first time I got the opportunity to prove my martial arts. I felt quite stressed a few days before going on stage. I imagined the excitement after winning and worried about the pain after losing."

"The second time was when I was in Xincang Mountain with the 'God Seed'. At that time, I tried my best to destroy it because I had a feeling that I couldn't bear the consequences of releasing it... But I still lost. Or maybe the God Seed didn't feel the obstacle from an ant like me." Pei Ye smiled, "Later, I faced the last ray of the Immortal Lord's will alone and led Him into my body. It was probably the same battle as this one. Although I won, it was still the most breathtaking fight for me."

"The third time was in Xiangzhou, on the way from Xiangzhou City to the Yi family's ancestral land, I faced their second son Yi Nandai..."

Li Xizhou was slightly startled: "Did you miss a few games?"

"Um?"

"You stood out from Fenghuai by going to the meeting alone and killing Wu Zai Gu, the Seventh Master, with one sword?" Li Xizhou said, "Then you went to Bowang, killed Yang Hu of Huansi Tower, and won the first place in the martial arts examination."

"Well, that doesn't count."

"Um?"

"When I went to kill Wu Zai Gu, I was ready to die. I didn't have any hope of winning. I was very scared and angry at that time, but a person seeking revenge will find peace in his heart when he chooses to do his best. He doesn't worry much about winning or losing." Pei Ye said, "As for Yang Hu and Shang Huai Tong, when I stood in front of them, I knew I could kill them."

"Then what do you think, Yi Nandai?" Li Xizhou asked, "I have only seen this name once in the file. It says that you killed him in front of the Yi family's ancestral land. Is he actually a rival who puts a lot of pressure on you?"

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"Yeah." Pei Ye said, "At that time he suddenly blocked my way. I didn't know how strong he was, nor did I know his methods. And I was very afraid of losing, because at that time Li Piaoqing was trapped in the Yi family's ancestral house without any news, and I was about to save her."

"...I think I understand. What you said may not be 'feeling it is very important', but 'worrying about failure'." Li Xizhou said.

"Yes." Pei Ye said, "The fourth time was in Kongtong Sect, when I faced Qu Zhu with Zhan Xin Liuli."

He was silent for a while: "That was the game I was least sure I could win and I was most afraid of losing, but I still lost."

He looked up at the night sky and said nothing more.

“Is that all?”

"Well, that's the last one."

"In Shaolong, in Shenjing?"

"That's all." Pei Ye smiled. "The battles in Shenjing... there's nothing worth talking about. Qiu Tianyu, He Ju, and Li Zhi, although they all seem to be famous, I will probably fight a hundred such battles in the future, and I can win a hundred more times."

Li Xizhou paused for a moment and said, "But I really felt that I knew you when you killed the new governor on the Shaolong Jade Sword Stage."

"Yes, that may be the one I remember most vividly, but I was very calm at that time." Pei Ye was quiet for a moment, and said, "I just have to fight that battle, winning or losing doesn't matter. If I lose, Lord Sui will control Xitingxin and Zhaotu - most likely better than me, and will definitely be the best governor in Shaolong's history. There is nothing to worry about."

"But you won." Li Xizhou said, "So I think you are someone who can create miracles."

"Your Highness thinks too highly of me... Qu Zhu is the one who truly created miracles. Before that, I had already lost three times." Pei Ye recalled, "Sometimes I think that my victory over Lord Sui Hejian and Xi Tingxin has nothing to do with it... It's just that at that moment, I walked out, but he was still stuck in the past. The person who pulled me out of the quagmire was Miss Ming."

The golden mask looked at him.

"It was because Miss Ming told me, 'It doesn't matter if I lose.'" Pei Ye said softly, "It was Miss Ming who saved me all the time, and that's why I learned the Third Snow Sword. When she was around, I kept losing, but when she left, I defeated Qu Zhu on my own."

“…”

"So, Your Highness, I am not always invincible. I am just better at using the sword. I may not always have the confidence to defeat every enemy. Sometimes I will be defeated by stronger people." Pei Ye tilted his head and smiled, "Although I think I am already quite powerful...but the world is so big, there will always be people I can't deal with."

Jinmian tilted his head to look at him without saying anything. After a while, he nodded gently and said in a calm voice, "I understand."

I didn't hear any emotion.

Although Pei Ye was no longer someone who couldn't relieve stress, he still felt much more relaxed when he could chat with someone. He turned around and smiled, "You know, I was just thinking that Yu Sicheng's vital point is behind his back. When we fight, I will chase him and stab him in the back, and he will turn around and hide. It's really like turning around on the stage."

Li Xizhou was speechless.
