Volume Three: Courage Chapter 4: The Lands of the South
At the beginning of the 334th year of the Tianchen calendar, there was no joy in the ancient city, but it was much gloomy, and there were fewer lines on the streets.
The city gate also looked decadent, and the guards shook as if they were about to fall, and the weather was not in one place when they saw this scene.
Most of the guards in Guyi City were transferred from the Buddha Xiao Pavilion, which can be called elite soldiers and orderly, although these are not necessary, but everyone in the guards needs to be responsible.
Look at them now, if there are bandits attacking the city, if there are fierce beasts breaking in, they can resist?
The guards beside him opened their eyes and were shocked, and when they found that their teammates around him had flown out, they immediately shouted:
"Enemy attack!"
"If you really want the enemy to attack, you can withstand it?" Jiang Tian immediately kicked another guard away, how could they remember it without giving them some lesson?
The guards are an indispensable team in a city, and whatever happens in the city needs to be solved by the guards, and what happens outside the city also needs to be solved by the guards.
If the guards dozed off like the two of them, wouldn't Gu Yi City be in chaos?
The guards lying on the ground helped each other to get up, and pointed at him in horror: "Who are you!"
"Who am I?" Jiang Tian felt strange for a while, and then thought that he had been away for so long, and it was natural for a few new people to come. "Go and call your squires out. ”
It's normal for the guards to not know the sky, but it's not normal for the captain to not know the sky!
"Where is the waiter, this ancient city has been liberated!" one of them patted the dust off his body and took off the guard's clothes on his body.
The two of them had only come to the gate in the guise of guards to collect tolls.
The reason why he dared to do what he said, as the man said, Gu Yi City was liberated, and all the guards and waiters were either executed or fled.
"Liberated? I didn't agree to it as the lord of the city, who would dare to liberate my city?" The sky was furious, and a sword slashed a large stone ten meters away.
Lu Ying, who was standing beside him at this time, was not lightly frightened, after all, he was still young, and he naturally couldn't resist the fierce sword qi.
After calming down, Jiang Tian put away his long sword, and walked towards the general's mansion with an angry face, he must ask for clarity and understand!
After entering the city, everyone will see the richly decorated Shenyun Pavilion, and even beggars will squat at the door to beg for some money.
"What's going on?" The Divine Fortune Pavilion was the same as before, but inside it had become a beggar's quarter, and there were leftovers everywhere.
Behind the corner of Jiangtian was the famous Qiyao Pavilion, and he stood at the door for a while, thinking that this was still the aristocratic auction house in his mind?
I saw that the doorway was covered with old wooden planks, and some large stones were placed to prevent people from entering, and the place where the plaque was originally placed was empty.
With a gloomy face, he walked step by step into the general's mansion, which was empty, and the decorated buildings were all cut down.
How can it be?
The only thing Jiang Tian couldn't figure out was that what kind of force could ignore the law of the eunuchs and liberate Guyi City? Unless it was an order issued from above, the eunuchs at the level of the ancient city couldn't do it, and he couldn't get around Li Wei's forces.
Either the only thing that is possible is the Holy City!
That person must be even bigger than Li Wei's official position, and he is enough to avoid opening Li Wei's forces to directly clear Gu Yi City.
"The Holy City of Caofu, which is the palace city on an equal footing with the Li family?" Jiang Tian learned when he and Li Wei tortured Chang De, the lord of the ancient city of pilgrimage, that the Cao family also belonged to the eastern forces as well as the emperor.
Judging from the current situation, the Cao family can only do this kind of power, that is, they can ignore the law of the eunuchs and avoid Li Wei.
Even let the Seven Yao Pavilion and the Divine Fortune Pavilion disappear.
"The people of the Jiangfu are in their hands?" Jiang Tian clenched his fists, this was the last thing he wanted to see, and it was even more difficult to put the handle in the hands of the enemy, so it was even more difficult to return to the situation!" Ling Er. ”
"You two are waiting for me here!" he left this sentence and went directly to the Ling Mansion.
After arriving at the Ling Mansion, the scene was not much different from the General's Mansion, it was also empty, it was also cut down, and even the flowers and plants were trampled down. Seeing this situation, Jiang Tian was very calm, because he thought of a possibility in his heart.
It seems that you can only contact Li Wei to know everything, now go to Dragon Vein City first, that city is not controlled by the eunuchs, because it was established by the Buddha Xiao Pavilion, so they will be in charge?
If you want to attack Dragon Vein City, you have to weigh your own strength, and the original construction of Dragon Vein City was built according to the very standard city wall. If you want to capture the city, you must at least change the army, or the masters of the fourth realm.
Ride the sky on the void spirit and take Lu Ying to the Dragon Mountain Range, according to the speed of the void spirit will take three days to arrive at the earliest, I wanted to rent a big flying beast, but now the Shenyun Pavilion does not know where to go.
The land of the south, the holy city of the Li family.
The centenarian sat cross-legged on the cushion, and in front of him was a stick of incense, and the whole room was surrounded by incense, but it was neither dazzling nor pungent, and there was a trace of comfort in his heart when he smelled it.
This person is Li Sheng, the lord of the Li Mansion in the Holy City, and Li An's own grandfather, who controls most of the rights in the southern land and has the most authority over the law of the entire official eunuch.
"It's back, after all. Li Sheng's face gradually relaxed, although his tone was dissatisfied, but he was very happy in his heart.
Li An was dressed neatly, and his eyes were full of anticipation and pushed open the door of the mansion, "Li An's grandson visits grandpa." ”
He had actually left Dragon Vein City a few months earlier, but he had been delayed for a while on the way, and he had to enter the Holy City in hiding.
Li Sheng got up and picked up his grandson who was kneeling on the ground, he was expecting him to return and refusing him to come back, no one could get out of the chaos in the Holy City, and coming back at this time would undoubtedly make the situation even more chaotic.
"Grandpa, don't worry, I came all the way in hiding, and I will definitely not be discovered with some blindfolding. "Li An has comprehended the way of stealth over the years, and with the cover of the power of the Buddha Xiao Pavilion, he has been able to be stable along the way.
Li Sheng smiled kindly, he is still a stupid grandson, if the Li Mansion in the Holy City Realm can control the whole situation, then the emperor can naturally control the whole situation.
"It's a good thing to go through the experience, but don't let it be in vain. He patted his grandson on the shoulder and led him into the house.
"The Foxiao Pavilion is indeed good, if it can develop steadily, it will be a good seedling. "Li Sheng doesn't look at the potential of the south, but the whole world, and the big thing he says also means that he can become famous in the four major places!
Ang Lee immediately comprehended the good things and futility that his grandfather said. "I will soothe the pride in my heart. ”
"Do you know where your Pavilion Master is?"
"I don't know, I heard that what Master Li Wei said was to break through the realm and rebuild. ”
"Li Wei, this kid hasn't had a head this year! Maybe he's secretly doing some kind of conspiracy. Li Sheng knows this person very well, and he has fought with him, but he can't find out the depths. "At a young age, with this ability, I'm afraid there are only three or four people in the Quartet. ”
"Although the Foxiao Main Pavilion was only seriously injured, the ancient Yi City was destroyed. Master Li Wei should be laying out the layout, so as to give advice for the pavilion master to come back. ”
"The matter of Guyi City Li Fu is powerless, but fortunately, no one fell into his hands. ”
"We all know Grandpa's dedication, not to mention that the Buddha Xiao Pavilion has to be protected by you, otherwise it will be a mess. ”
"The deadline is approaching, and I don't know if I can get through this. Li Sheng knew his physical condition, and he stopped there if he failed to break through the Saint Dou Realm.
In the early years, he could take the way of the sword, but in order to make the Li Mansion stable in the troubled times, he had to change his way.
And this change is simply a bad state of mind, which leads to the inability to break through the realm when you reach the ultimate level of the Radiant Realm.
"The right way has its own heaven watching. Ang Lee held his grandfather's hands.
The land of the south, the Imperial City Palace.
"Is this a success or failure of the operation?" Emperor Yang Di's temperament is getting worse and worse, although the situation is good, why is it vague every time?
For example, it is to destroy the power of the Buddha Xiao Pavilion, but what has been gained by the development of the action so far?
Ancient Yi City is liberated, but there is no important person in the palm of his hand, and Dragon Vein City is just a small city that has been built for less than a year, which cannot be captured, although there is the power of the Li Mansion to protect it, but this is not a side proof that the Foxiao Pavilion is not an ant.
How does this make him not angry, how can he look at the situation calmly?
Pan Fu knelt on the ground, his face full of nervousness. The middle-aged man Qin Baoyi stood facing the emperor, his face was still so cold, they knew that their actions would definitely fail.
At first, Pan Fu told the city lord of Zishen City to block the guards of Gu Yi City, and sure enough, Gu Yi City was defenseless and was defeated with a blow.
After a few days, the income of Guyi City was greatly reduced, and the civilians in the city were also panicked all day long, so Pan Fu led the guards to attack.
But he never thought that the Jiang Mansion and the Ling Mansion had already been prepared, although they were seriously injured a few people, but they had no choice but to have the power to dock with them, so no one was left.
Pan Fu, who was not angry, naturally liberated Gu Yicheng directly, anyway, he also had the emperor's order on him, and the law of the eunuch could not do anything to him.
"Your Excellency, now we should focus on the Li Mansion. Qin Baoyi thinks that the current situation of Foxiao Pavilion can no longer be moved, and Li Wei is no longer a paper tiger without this force.
Yang Di touched his forehead, and his actions were not without gain, at least the Foxiao Main Pavilion was now seriously injured, and even if he acted, it would not have any impact.
"I heard that the Lord Pavilion of Fo Xiao is a person of the Way of the Swords?" Yang Di's tone was unexpectedly worried.
This is the last news he wants to see, kendo will provoke a person's anger.
"Jiangtian is indeed a person of the way of the sword, but it is just a lonely way and there is no threat. Qin Baoyi's understanding of kendo was only literal, because kendo had disappeared without a trace when he was not even ten years old.
Yang Di sighed, if he hadn't experienced the glory days of swordsmanship, he would never have imagined the peak of his strength. "Kill it if you can..."
"Forget it, let the god servant camp prepare to come back, the old man of the Li Mansion won't last long. ”
Pan Fu stood up, his head still bowed. "I heard that Li Ang, the son of the Li Mansion, is back. ”
"Bring a message to Cao Fu to assassinate at any time. Yang Di waved his hand and told the two to step back.
Qin Baoyi swaggered out of the palace, looking at Pan Fu as if he was a little worried.
"Lord Qin, is the assassination to let Cao Fu act alone?"
"You and I can't guess the Emperor's thoughts. After speaking, Qin Baoyi left, leaving Pan Fu with a sad face.
Qin Baoyi's words were very easy to understand, the emperor's mind was not for them to ponder, even if they pondered it thoroughly, they couldn't talk nonsense.
lest misfortune come to them.
Three days later, Jiangtian arrived in Dragon Vein City, but unfortunately it was no longer prosperous, and there were many outsiders in the city.
It's something you can see at a glance.
The city walls have been bombarded, and it is obvious that someone is really attacking the city!
