Taking Ling Yushi over to Bai Yujing was something Cheng Li had already planned. However, as the so-called plan does not keep up with the rapid change. When making the plan, Cheng Li didn't know that he would develop an intimate relationship with Princess Yongjia that went beyond friendship. I don't know that the emperor of Dawei would actually make a public marriage drama, which made the whole thing uproar, so that almost everyone in the streets and alleys of Bai Yujing knew about it.

In this way, the situation is a little awkward. It is true that with Cheng Li's current identity and status, even the emperor is not qualified to forcefully demand that Cheng Li must abandon other women and only concentrate on Princess Yongjia alone.

On the contrary, the Son of Heaven even issued a special decree to canonize Ling Yushi as Mrs. Zheng Guo. Hu Yuji, who used to be a Haikou and later followed Cheng Li, was named Mrs. Wu Guo. Xiaoqing was named the Lady of the Yue Kingdom, and Xue Yanxia was the Lady of the Wei Kingdom. Theoretically speaking, the status is comparable to that of Princess Yongjia.

But theory belongs to theory, and practice belongs to practice. As the saying goes, the palm of the hand is also soft, and the back of the hand is also meat. In case these good women around him fight, what should they do? Who does Cheng Li help? Who does not help? It seems that any choice is a dilemma.

Fortunately. Hu Yu-hee was a woman of the sea, and she and her ships controlled trade between the Central Plains and many other overseas countries, including Goryeo, Silla, Fuso, Annam, Manraka, and the Ryukyus. Therefore, Cheng Li did not plan to let her abandon the ship and land in the first place. She didn't bother to come to Bai Yujing at all.

Xue Yanxia and Xiaoqing, as pure-blood descendants of the Liuli clan. He has a long lifespan that far exceeds the limits of mortals. Moreover, the "ancestral land" of the Liuli clan is now also in their hands and is being restored with all their might.

Therefore, it is conceivable that Xue Yanxia and Xiaoqing did not take their status in the world to heart at all. It is even more impossible for a mortal woman whose life is as short as the morning dew in their minds, to have any sense of malicious competition for the wind and vinegar.

So in the end, only Ling Yushi entered Bai Yujing alone. Perhaps, it can be regarded as a blessing in misfortune. But no matter how you say it, you can't isolate Ling Yushi and never let her meet Princess Yongjia. This kind of stupid behavior similar to an ostrich burying its head in the sand and thinking that no one can see it, Cheng Li can't do it.

However, Cheng Li's troubles, for the sake of Princess Yongjia and Ling Yushi, actually felt a little funny.

Speaking of which, Princess Yongjia and Ling Yushi are actually quite similar in many places. For example, they both experienced an unhappy marriage. It is also because of Cheng Li's relationship that their already destined gray life is dyed with bright and colorful colors again.

As a mature woman, whether it is Princess Yongjia or Ling Yushi, she will no longer be like those young little girls, who have some completely unrealistic delusions about love.

On the contrary, only when we have lost can we cherish the present more. So they will never let go easily just because "they are not the only one". Not to mention that there will be no unnecessary sense of vicious competition for others who also exist around Cheng Li.

Therefore, Ling Yushi had just walked into the new Guogong Mansion accompanied by Cheng Li, and Princess Yongjia had already taken the initiative to come out to greet her. The two shook hands with each other and smiled earnestly. At least on the surface, it's a good sister's style. finally let Cheng Li let go of a big stone in his heart.

The two Shu joined hands and turned into the back hall to speak. Above the main hall, only Cheng Li, the host, and Le Dashao, the guest, were left.

Cheng Li waved his hand and asked the housekeeper to bring fragrant tea to entertain the guests. Le Dashao solemnly thanked him, took a sip of the tea bowl, and said in surprise: "This is ...... The most authentic tribute to the big red robe?!Tsk, this tea is a good thing that money can't buy. Grandpa Guo, you are really generous, the little one has a blessing this time. ”

Cheng Li said indifferently: "It was sent by the Son of Heaven." I don't understand what a big red robe and a big green robe are. But in short, it's tea. It's tea, isn't it just for brewing? There is nothing ungenerous either. By the way, Le Dashao, don't call Grandpa Guo, I've been tired of hearing this kind of title recently. ”

Le Dashao is also a character who climbs up the pole. He laughed and said, "I knew it." Brother Cheng has always been nostalgic, and he is by no means the kind of person who turns his face and doesn't recognize people when he makes a career. Then I'll be bold. Brother Cheng, your house is really amazing, big enough and comfortable enough. It's worthy of the grandfather of the country, haha~"

Cheng Li shrugged his shoulders and said: "Bai Yujing in the sky, twelve cities on the fifth floor." These twelve dry cities are divided into seven dukes and five marquises, you should know all about Leda and Shao, right?"

Le Dashao smiled: "Naturally, it is clear." The seven dukes are the Gongsun family of Zhao Guogong, the Tuoba family of Eguogong, the Zhou family of Lu Guogong, the Li family of Wei Guogong, the Xiao family of Song Guogong, the Cheng family of Lu Guogong, and the Lian family of Zeng Guogong.

The five marquis are the Marquis of Wuying of the rebel Yan Chong, the Marquis of Wuxiang of Prime Minister Zhuge Cheng, the Marquis of Wuchang of Shangshu Ling Di, the Marquis of Wuxing of Zhongshu Ling Li, and the Marquis of Wuyang of Lord Zheng in the service. Right?"

Cheng Li's jaw said, "Not bad." But in the past 'Rebellion to Catch the Sky', Zeng Guogong's family, as well as Wuying's Hou Yan family, were all removed because of bad things. Half of the inheritance of these two families was put into the treasury, and half was given to me and the king of extinction by the Son of Heaven. So this house, haha, is actually Zeng Guogong's Guogong Mansion, but it's just a different signboard. ”

Le Dashao exclaimed: "I see. Zeng Guogong followed Emperor Taizu to conquer the south and the north, and also made great contributions. After the founding of the Great Wei Dynasty, Emperor Taizu and Emperor Taizong had many rewards. Coupled with decades of operation, even if the industry is only half of it, it is very lucrative. ”

Cheng Li said with a smile, "Who doesn't know that the richest man in the world is Ling Zun's 'Rich Immortal' Yue Qingping?

Le Dashao smiled bitterly: "Rich but not expensive, just a fat pig waiting to be slaughtered." If you really want to stand, you still have to be like Brother Cheng, to be really safe. It's a pity that our Lejia has been passed on for three generations, and my own talent is mediocre, no matter how hard I practice, this life is just a second-rate level. Alas~ Only a lot of hard work and hope for the next generation. ”

After a pause, Le Dashao suddenly salivated and said: "Brother Cheng, you see, between us, we can be regarded as having shared hardships and experienced life and death, right? Otherwise, after my son is born, let him recognize you as a godfather, and you will teach him martial arts, how about it?"

Cheng Lishu smiled and said, "Le Dashao, you really know how to make a plate." Okay. When you give birth to a son, I will recognize him. However, there is no guarantee of how much success will be achieved in the future. ”

Le Dashao said happily: "A word is a certainty, a word is a certainty." Haha, famous teachers make high apprentices. Brother Cheng, with your teacher's teaching, it is difficult to think of a high apprentice, haha~"

Cheng Li smiled and said, "It's too far away, let's not talk about it for the time being." Let's start with something close. Le Dashao, you escorted Yushi into Beijing this time, and you worked hard all the way. ”

Le Dashao smiled: "It's easy to say." Brother Cheng, let's be honest. In fact, this time I went to Beijing with me, and it was not just to escort my younger siblings. There is also a bit of selfishness in it. But it is our Wanjin Chamber of Commerce that also wants to enter Bai Yujing for development. I also asked Brother Cheng to do me a favor and shelter one or two. ”

As the imperial capital, Bai Yujing is the place where the wealth of the world gathers. If you can't gain a foothold in Bai Yujing, it is difficult to be regarded as a real business leader. However, in Baiyujing, there are high-ranking officials and nobles everywhere, and various forces are intertwined. If there is no one to protect them, outsiders will rush into Bai Yujing, and most of them will be swallowed with their belts and bones.

So for so many years, although the business names of the Wanjin Chamber of Commerce have spread all over the Central Plains, they just can't enter Baiyujing. "Rich Immortal" Yue Qingping racked his brains for this and tried all kinds of means, but he always had little effect.

But now, if you can get Cheng Li, an upstart, to support you, the situation is completely different. As the saying goes, there are people in the DPRK who are good officials, and in the same way, there must be people in the DPRK who are good at doing business. With the shade of Cheng Li's big tree, Le Dashao is confident that the Wanjin Chamber of Commerce will be able to show its strength in Baiyujing and create a world.

There has always been a close cooperation between Zizai Villa and Wanjin Chamber of Commerce. This time, the Freedom Villa was transferred to Bai Yujing, and Cheng Li didn't plan to sit on the mountain and eat nothing. Therefore, supporting the Wanjin Chamber of Commerce is also equivalent to supporting himself, and Cheng Li naturally has no reason not to agree.

So Cheng Li smiled casually and said: "Speaking of Bai Yujing's rivers and lakes, it was the pattern of Canghai Yueming Building, Badou Hall, and the Dream Two Parties.

But now that the Badoutang has been destroyed, the Biandan Gang has inherited the foundation of Canghai Yueminglou, and merged with the two parties of Fameng. It can be said that in Bai Yujing's rivers and lakes now, it is the Biandan Gang that dominates the family. It just so happens that the leader of the Biandan Gang is Huang Xiaoshi, and you have met in Hangzhou before. I'll take you to a drink with him later. If there is anything, he will naturally help. ”

Le Dashao naturally also knows about the Biandangang. Speaking of martial arts, the current Huang Xiaoshi may not be better than Zhu Yousian, the owner of the Canghai Yueming Building, or Lei Wujian, the owner of the Eight Dou Hall. But when it comes to status and prestige, there is no doubt that Huang Xiaoshi has surpassed those two, and he has surpassed them a lot. If you can get in touch with Huang Xiaoshi, then the development of the Wanjin Chamber of Commerce in Bai Yujing is really not afraid to compete with anyone.

At that moment, Le Dashao was overjoyed, and thanked him again and again.

Cheng Li didn't think so, and casually asked about the things on this trip. Le Dashao immediately told all kinds of thrills in the journey one by one. I heard that Cheng Li was quite afraid.

Cheng Li frowned and said: "It turns out that on the way from Bai Yujing to Liaodong, there are so many powerful robbers? ”

Le Dashao smiled: "Actually, it wasn't so dangerous. However, there are too many gold and silver treasures in our team, and there are no famous masters to control the field, so it is just that so many powerful lone thieves have come to make up their minds. But fortunately, there are four young people, Xiaoma, Xiaofang, Xiaolei, and Xiaoding, and there is finally no danger along the way. ”

During these days, Cheng Li was in Baiyujing, Yongzhou, Hangzhou, running everywhere, and he didn't know much about what happened in the Freedom Villa. At this time, listening to Le Dashao talk about it, he was not only very interested, but also asked again and again.

Le Dashao then told the four young people in detail, namely the angry pony, the deadly Xiaofang, the hard-hearted Xiaolei, and the Xiaoding who wanted to fly. Cheng Li was very interested, and immediately asked Xiao Jianshi, who was standing next to him and serving left and right, "Where are all those people who came back with Mrs. Ling now?"

Xiao Jianshi bowed down and said, "Go back to Master." These people have all settled in the house. ”

Cheng Li nodded and said, "Go and find the four people of Xiaoma, Xiaofang, Xiaolei, and Xiaoding, I want to see them." ”

Xiao Jianshi agreed and walked out of the main hall living room quickly. Not long after, he returned with four young people.

Four young men lined up, each standing like a javelin. Every part of the body is full of enthusiasm and vitality. Even between breaths, there is almost infinite fighting spirit and strength.

Cheng Li's age is actually not much different from them. But the combination of strength, experience, status and other factors made the four young people not think that the Black Demon God Monarch in front of them would actually be their own peers. On the contrary, because of the unconsciously revealing momentum on the Black Demon Divine Monarch, he felt a little trembling.

Cheng Li glanced at them a few times and couldn't help but feel deeply satisfied. smiled: "Ding Wanfei, Lei Shen, Fang Yaoming, Ma Boxing?"

The four young people subconsciously raised their heads together and said loudly, "Yes!"

Cheng Li pressed his hands and said, "Don't be so nervous, relax a little." The ability to arrive safely in Bai Yujing this time is also due to a few of you. Thank you very much. But what do you guys have in mind? If there's anything you need help with, you're welcome, I'll do my best to help. ”

The four young men glanced at each other, and Ding Yanfei suddenly asked, "Owner, is it really okay to ask for anything?"

Cheng Li is indeed the master of the Freedom Villa. However, because he rarely stays in the villa, it feels a little strange to be called "the owner" by others. Leave that aside. Cheng Lijaw said: "As long as it's not the kind of impossible thing, everything else is fine." ”

Ding Yanfei's eyes lit up, and he said very seriously: "Then the owner, I want to compete with you!"

Cheng Li was stunned and asked, "What?

Ding Weifei nodded vigorously and said, "Yes." I know I'm no match for the owner. But I'll definitely give it a try. Only by knowing how far there is between myself and the real master can my sword really improve. ”

Cheng Lijaw said: "Well said." So, when do you want to compete?"

Ding Wanfei couldn't wait to say: "It's now!"

Cheng Li shook his head: "It's not good." You've just finished your long journey, and your strength hasn't recovered yet. It's not a wise move to compete now. ”

Naturally, there is a lot of truth in this. Dante also has his own reasoning: "If it's to win, then physical strength is really important." But from the very beginning, I didn't have any delusions about defeating the owner, I just wanted to know how far my sword had reached.

Therefore, momentum is more important than physical strength. For this battle, I have deliberately cultivated my momentum since the day I set off, and so far, I have just reached the peak. So I think it's the best fit to try it now. ”

Cheng Li nodded: "I accept this reason." So, let's go to the martial arts training ground and officially conduct the competition. ”

This mansion is the old residence of Zeng Guogong's family. Lianjia is the home of the brave Bo Lianchenghuo. Lianchenghuo is known as Baiyu Jingzhong, the first master of the meritorious family. Therefore, in this mansion, of course, there is a martial arts training ground, and it is very elegant.

The martial arts training ground is very spacious, and the flat ground is paved with clean white fine sand. The weapon racks on both sides are also filled with all kinds of dazzling blades.

In the shade of the trees, eight rosewood chairs are neatly arranged, and there are several long benches.

Le Dashao sat in one of the chairs and looked at the two people in the audience with interest. Pony, Lei, and Fang each occupied a bench. Between their eyebrows, there was a little nervousness, but also a little expectation.

Because what Xiao Ding wants to do at this moment is actually what they want to do. They have even thought it through. After the end of this battle, it is absolutely necessary to propose a competition to Cheng Li. In this way, all the hardships along the way, as well as the blood and sweat that have been shed for this.

But if the three of them were just nervous and expectant, then Xiao Ding, who was standing in the middle of the scene at this moment, directly facing the owner of the Black Demon God Monarch Cheng Zhuang, was already boiling with enthusiasm.

But Xiao Ding knows that blood can boil, but the heart can't be messy. When the heart is in chaos, the sword will be in chaos. If the sword is chaotic, there will be no chance of winning this battle. Although he said that he thought he would lose this battle, in the final analysis, Xiao Ding, who wanted to fly, did not have a trace of unrealistic hope in the deepest part of his heart.

Xiao Ding took a deep breath, stared at Cheng Li, tried his best to make his voice appear calmer, and said loudly: "Junior Ding gradually flying, please give the owner of the village, and hope that the owner of the village will show mercy." ”

Cheng Li smiled and took a wooden knife in his hand. He said calmly: "Okay." It's time to go. ”

Xiao Ding's hand clenched the hilt of the sword, his knuckles had turned white from exertion, and his palms were already sweaty. The sword in his hand, although it was not a sharp weapon, was just a very ordinary green steel sword. But at least it's better than a wooden knife. But compared to Cheng Li's calmness, he didn't even officially start, and he already felt embarrassed and ridiculous.

However, when Xiao Ding actually pulled the sword out of its sheath, he calmed down. Because he believes that his efforts and hard work will never be in vain.

The ground paved with fine sand glittered in the scorching sun, but the light of the sword shone brighter than the sand reflecting the sun. Because Xiao Ding's sword has been struck.

For the viewer on the wall, there is really nothing to see. At least so far, it is. Because on the way to Bai Yujing, Le Dashao, Xiao Fang, Xiao Lei, Xiao Ma and the other three had already seen Xiao Ding's sword.

Xiao Ding's swordsmanship comes from family tradition, and it is just a very ordinary "four swordsmanship" in martial arts. At most, you can only get one word "flat" - ordinary, plain, ordinary.

To deal with this kind of swordsmanship, Cheng Li didn't need any tricks, and he didn't even need to move his steps, just standing in place, the wooden knife in his hand was blocked at will, which was enough to force Xiao Ding to be almost breathless.

But everyone watching on the sidelines, including Le Dashao, did not show disappointment, but looked very expectant. Because they all know that the real show has not yet begun.

Xiao Ding still has a very high level of confidence in himself. But Cheng Li's simple wooden knife had already forced him, so that he couldn't delay any longer. So at this moment, he did his best and brazenly unleashed his strongest sword.

The sword light flashed, and Xiao Ding's ordinary green steel sword suddenly turned into a meteor flying from the sky. Splendid, brilliant, swift, elusive, irresistible. Wonderful.

No matter how many times they have seen it, whether it is Le Da Shao, Xiaoma, Xiaofang, or Xiaolei, they can't see any flaws in this trick. In their minds, this is almost the perfect sword technique that must be won in one move.

"Du~" The muffled sound passed, and Cheng Li waved the wooden knife and pressed the green steel sword heavily. The light of the meteor also disappeared.

For different levels of people, there are indeed different definitions of what is called "perfection". It is a perfect sword move for a first-class master, but for a top master, it often feels full of flaws. And the perfection in the eyes of the top master is simply breakable for the master of the extreme yuan. Therefore, Xiao Ding's sword of victory was easily cracked by Cheng Li.

When the swords clashed, Xiao Ding was almost knocked down. But even though his sword had been shaken out of the gap, and the tiger's jaw had been shattered, he had not yet fallen. Because he was desperate to ask three words: "Why?"

Cheng Limo rubbed his chin and groaned: "If you want to say why, it's actually very simple. Although this trick is not bad, it is still too rigid. It's like it was created specifically to deal with a certain type of sword move. So it's still easy to break the move. Well...... What is the name of this trick, Xiaoding, where did you learn it?"

Xiao Ding's shoulders slumped, and he said dejectedly: "This trick is called 'Extraterrestrial Meteor'." It was originally written on a page of a broken sword book. My dad got it by accident when he was walking a dart. Because he was too old to practice this sword anymore, he passed it on to me and told me to fight for him. ”

While speaking, Xiao Ding suddenly raised his sword and cut the corners of his clothes. Then take out a tattered and old piece of paper from inside. and handed the paper to Cheng Li with both hands. With a little reluctance and heaviness, he said in a low voice: "This is the page of the broken sword book that my father obtained." ”

Cheng Li took the sword book and glanced at it casually. I saw several portraits of people with swords painted on the yellowed paper. The following is a detailed explanation of these portrait patterns. At the bottom of the paper, there are two lines of red letters written through the back of the paper:

"A meteor move outside the sky is a painstaking work, and the sword is like a broken bamboo. The swordsmanship of Huashan, Kunlun, Kongtong, Qingcheng, Emei, Changbai, Hainan and other factions will be defeated. Those who have won this trick must defeat the masters of the seven factions for the rest of their lives, so as to prove the hard work of the rest of their lives. If there is any omission, it will be left in heaven and earth, and it will be hated for a long time. Reluctantly. ”
