Chapter 151: Sword Tower and Sword Master

When it comes to the Sword Pavilion, Liu Mingge is very familiar with it, he used to travel with his master for a long time when he was a child.

Li Xiaofei knew that Liu Mingge had his own way, so he didn't ask any more.

After Li Xiaofei and Chen Kuan distributed rewards and special products to the soldiers, Chen Kuan led 8,000 people back to the east, followed by 5,000 loads of goods.

The soldiers were glad to learn that they would receive a percentage of the profits for each load of goods delivered to their destination.

Of the thirty percent agreed above, one percent must be handed over to the imperial court, and one percent will be returned to Chen Kuan and the generals of each battalion. This is already a very rare fair distribution, and in other armies, maybe ninety out of three out of ten will go to the generals, and the rest will fall into the hands of the soldiers.

Liu Mingge had long wanted to go to see the Jinguan Pavilion, and this time he finally got his wish.

Liu Mingge did not take Li Xiaofei with him, but took the veteran Hu Qiansheng who stayed behind.

Hu Qiansheng said countless times to the Cockscomb Pavilion, this time he really came to the Jinguan Pavilion, his eyes were straight, not to mention that the seven beautiful shopkeepers were beautiful and amazing, the guys in the Jinguan Pavilion were also handsome, and the girls were also smart.

Then there are the tea dishes of Jinguan Pavilion, which Hu Qiansheng has never seen in his life.

Hu Qiansheng burst into tears and thanked Liu Mingge again and again: "Thank you, Prime Minister Liu, I don't know what virtue my ancestors have accumulated, I can eat this delicacies of the mountains and seas with the Prime Minister!" ’

Liu Mingge waved his hand: "Don't cry, I'm just making a wish!" Order whatever you want to eat today, just call what you want to drink, don't be restrained! ”

As he spoke, Liu Mingge gave Hu Qiansheng vegetables, and Hu Qiansheng hurriedly took the bowl with both hands.

Yu Ziyuan saw Liu Mingge coming, and hurriedly came over to say hello: "Prime Minister Liu, you are really approachable, and you won't send someone to report before you come!" I'll cook the fish for you myself! ”

"Haha, that's it, I think your Jinguan Pavilion has to be reorganized, and this Jinguan Pavilion has to be changed to a twin building."

"It's big enough now, with three floors up and down, and there's a wine cellar below" Yu Ziyuan felt that Liu Mingge's idea was a little ahead of his time

"You're wrong, as long as I've been here, business here will be several times better! You go get pen and ink, I'll give you an inscription! ”

Yu Ziyuan understood at this time, so he went to fetch pen, ink, paper and inkstone to serve.

Liu Mingge first re-inscribed a plaque, and then wrote seven Tibetan poems with their names on the wall.

As soon as the poem was finished, the guests all came over: "Wonderful! Good! The prime minister personally inscribed and wrote poems! He's the prime minister, let's see you soon! ”

When everyone turned back again, Liu Mingge didn't know when he had quietly left.

Liu Mingge played in Jinguan Pavilion for ten days in a row, teaching piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and painting with inscriptions.

Li Xiaofei finally couldn't help it, and personally went to invite Liu Mingge and the people of Jinguan Pavilion to discuss how to deal with the problem of Sword Pavilion.

"There is no news from the Sword Pavilion so far, isn't Prime Minister Liu in a hurry" Li Xiaofei got straight to the point and was ready to be scolded

"Once the Sword Pavilion falls into the hands of Zhu Yaoshi or the Mobei people, there will be no danger for us to defend in Shuzhong! That's what you're worried about," Liu Mingge replied lightly

Li Xiaofei saw that Liu Mingge did not refute it, so he continued, "The guards of the Sword Pavilion have not publicly stated their position until now, but have adhered to it, and it seems that they are waiting for the price to sell!" In my opinion, we must stabilize him first, but this person cannot be kept! Therefore, the soldiers are fast, we must take the Sword Pavilion as quickly as possible."

"Your opinion is good, and the general direction is very right. But I also want to hear the opinions of other people," Liu Mingge looked at Yu Ziyuan and them

"This land of Bashu has always been the world has not been chaotic, Shu is in chaos first, and the world has been governed by Shu and then ruled. The dynasties and dynasties are really a headache! In fact, Prime Minister Liu Cheng must have a way to take the Sword Pavilion, and Shuzhong can be completely stable, but you have to leave eventually, and no one can guarantee whether Shuzhong will continue to fall into war in the future" Yu Ziyuan first put forward his opinion

"Well, it is worthy of being a queen for a few days, such a knowledge, ordinary civil and military generals will never have it. This problem can only be solved by the more tactics used by those families in the previous dynasties, but in this way, there is not enough strength to resist if there is an invasion of foreign enemies. When it comes to governing the country, there is never a perfect design and system. Liu Mingge really has superb knowledge, and everyone is amazed

"In my opinion, it's better not to be more tactical, even if Bashu becomes chaotic again, it's better for our own family to fight, than to be enslaved by a foreign race!" Li Xiaofei took a sip of the tongue and said his thoughts

"Your kid has grown, but the affairs of this world are not something that our generation or two can figure out and solve, and many things can only be handed over to future generations. The reason for the division of this place is that the mountain is high and the emperor is far away, and many places are a dangerous road, and a male pass chokes the throat, so the conditions for supporting troops and standing on their own are very convenient. If one day in the future, the world extends in all directions, and the water and land routes in Shuzhong are criss-crossed, and it is difficult to divide it. ”

"Right now, is Prime Minister Liu planning to go and take the life of the guard by himself and seize the Sword Pavilion?"

"No, I'm waiting for someone to come"

"Who is more important than capturing the Sword Pavilion?"

"Sword Saint Ye Yunong! He should have sent someone for the day! ”

As soon as the words fell, someone outside the door came to report: "Ye Xiaobei of the Sword Pavilion asks to see Prime Minister Liu Cheng and Li Dashuai!" ”

Ye Xiaobei, who came in, was only sixteen years old, and he knew the rules very well and untied the sword and handed it to the guards.

Ye Xiaobei's eyebrows were clear, his eyes were beautiful, his figure was slender, and he clenched his fists and faced Liu Mingge: "Ye Xiaobei, a disciple of Ye Yunong, the sword saint, meet Prime Minister Liu and Li Dashuai!" ”

"No courtesy, how is Senior Brother Yunong lately?" Liu Mingge asked

"Back to Uncle Prime Minister Liu, everything is fine Master, I heard that Uncle Shi is coming, so he ordered me to come to see Uncle Shi and invite Uncle Shi to go to the Sword Tower to drink tea and watch the stars!"

Li Xiaofei was a little confused, how much identity does this Liu Mingge have, and he is still the junior disciple of the Sword Saint. It's no wonder that his swordsmanship is almost ghostly, and his moves are extremely vicious.

Liu Mingge pointed at Li Xiaofei: "I still have to bring someone with me, this is Marshal Fu Zhengxi of the Dynasty, it is not qualified to go to the Sword Tower, I Liu Mingge want him to increase his knowledge" After speaking, he took out a short sword from his arms and handed it to Ye Xiaobei

"Uncle Shi, according to Master, this is the Willow Leaf Sword that you built together thirty years ago. Thank you Uncle Shi first! Ye Xiaobei took the willow leaf sword with both hands

Li Xiaofei was a little suspicious, this Ye Xiaobei was only sixteen years old, and he had never seen Liu Mingge, it was really strange that the two of them knew each other so well.

Liu Mingge raised his hand: "Xiaobei, you sit down first, let's drink a cup of tea and set off." By the way, your painters in Shu are not very good at painting, and your portrait painting is a little old-fashioned."

"Uncle Shi, forgive me, the scholars in Shu are naturally not as good as Jinling. The portraits of Uncle Shi and Li Dashuai who were sent back from Jinling are no different from the two, and Xiaobei must ask the master to let people copy a few more copies after he goes back! ”

Li Xiaofei and Yu Ziyuan were dumbfounded when they heard it: "Portrait? The people of the Sword Tower have long had our portraits? ”

Liu Mingge glanced at him: "Don't be so alarmed, from the county order to the emperor, the portraits of the characters in this world and the background sword tower have been mastered." It's nothing! ”

Ye Xiaobei hugged his fists and saluted Yu Ziyuan again: "The names of your sisters, the people in the Sword Tower also admire them very much!" ”

At this time, Li Xiaofei, Yu Ziyuan, and some officials present all tried their best to restrain their panic.

There is still such a place in the world that holds all their information.

Liu Mingge took a sip of tea: "You don't have to panic, collecting this information is not to threaten you, the sword tower has always been in line with the sky, and will not go against the sky, let alone meddle in the world's disputes!" ”

Li Xiaofei thought to himself that Liu Mingge, as a person in the Sword Tower, had become the prime minister, how could he still say that the Sword Tower did not participate in the disputes in the world. This cheeky is too thick-skinned.

Ye Xiaobei held the teacup in both hands and signaled to everyone: "Although my master is a sword saint, he hasn't come down from the Broken Sword Cliff for thirty years. Uncle Liu has already been removed from the Sword Tower for killing the Ouchi guards twenty years ago."

Having said that, Li Xiaofei finally understood that Liu Mingge was not worried about the affairs of the Sword Pavilion. There is an organization like the Sword Tower there, as long as the people of the Sword Tower are dealt with, the Sword Pavilion does not send a single soldier to it.

After drinking the tea, Liu Mingge got up and pulled Li Xiaofei to follow Ye Xiaobei to the Sword Tower.

Li Xiaofei asked Yu Ziyuan and them to assist his newly appointed Chengdu Taishou Zhang Erhe to guard Chengdu, and untied his imperial gold medal to Yu Ziyuan to let her restrain Zhang Erhe.

Along the way, Li Xiaofei asked Liu Mingge to the bottom of it, and Liu Mingge told him a lot of things in the past.

Li Xiaofei sighed: "A life like Mr. Liu is called life!" I used to worship my master, General Chen, and now I have Mr. Liu! ”

"You're wrong, you don't have to worship any of us. You are yourself, be a real person, and there is only one you in this world. Why go to the shadow of others? The eldest husband only seeks to have a clear conscience and be worthy of the conscience of heaven and earth in the world, and it does not matter whether he has knowledge or not, and it does not matter if he does not know martial arts. ”

Li Xiaofei actually had the idea of letting Liu Mingge teach him martial arts, but when he heard Liu Mingge say this, he knew that there was no play. In his opinion, this is just an excuse that Liu Mingge refuses to teach him.

Ye Xiaobei walked in front to lead the way, listened to the conversation between the two, and also interjected a few words: "Does Li Dashuai really want to learn martial arts?" There are a lot of martial arts cheats in the firewood room of the Sword Tower, and when you go, I'll put a basket on your back! ”

These words amused Li Xiaofei: "Xiaobei, don't fool me, there are really so many martial arts cheats, who shouldn't keep the treasure, and throw the firewood room!" ”

"What you can't do, people can't do it, the people who stay in the sword tower have long disdained this ordinary martial arts cheats. Isn't it more important to meditate and seek the art of immortality every day than to practice martial arts? Liu Mingge taught Li Xiaofei a lesson again

Li Xiaofei had to smirk for a while: "Okay, good, Mr. Liu's lesson is very good, I can be an ordinary person with peace of mind."

"Lord Li is really humorous, he is a very popular minister at a young age, where is an ordinary person" Ye Xiaobei is still quite envious of Li Xiaofei

The three of them rode horses and walked slowly for ten days before they came to the Sword Gate.

After Ye Xiaobei took out the token on his body, the defenders of Jianmen Pass let the three of them go.

When entering the customs, Li Xiaofei carefully looked at this sword gate, it was really a place where a man could not open it, the cliffs on both sides were towering, the road was narrow, and no siege equipment could be used.

"Sure enough, it's a dangerous pass in the world! As long as the food and grass are enough, there is no pressure to keep it for three years and five years!" Li Xiaofei couldn't help but sigh

"What about after three years and five years? It doesn't help in big things! Therefore, no one has ever held on to this sword gate to the end! Liu Mingge seems to have a different kind of feelings for this sword gate

"Uncle Shi, it's almost here, don't be distracted by you and Master Li! It's the old rules! Ye Xiaobei reminded the two

After the three of them passed the level, they walked up the steps on the cliff to the end, and Li Xiaofei looked at it, "There is no road here?" Are we going to jump? ”

Liu Mingge pointed to his head, only to see that three large bamboo baskets were put down on his head, and they were about to fall in front of them.

"Li Xiaofei, after entering the bamboo basket, close your eyes and grasp it with both hands, if you accidentally turn it out, the two wives in your family will remarry!"

Li Xiaofei responded while entering the bamboo basket: "I am blessed with a great life, and I can't die!" Mr. has peerless martial arts, why don't you fly up? ”

Liu Mingge laughed in the bamboo basket: "What peerless martial arts, this cliff is hundreds of zhang high, and you can't go up any martial arts, you hold it firm, be careful that there are eagles to catch you!" ”

Ye Xiaobei grabbed the handle in the bamboo basket and didn't dare to make a sound, but Liu Mingge began to reach out to pick some medicinal materials on the cliff in the bamboo basket, and Li Xiaofei really had an eagle above his head.

The bamboo basket continued to rise, and the eagle above Li Xiaofei's head actually landed on his shoulder, Li Xiaofei stretched out his hand to drive away, and the eagle did not move.

"Silly boy, don't move, be careful that the eagle gets angry and pecks you, this eagle is raised by the Sword Tower, don't be too afraid!" Liu Mingge shouted at him

After about half an hour of three people and an eagle, they finally reached the top.

Coming out of the bamboo basket, he felt that the wind around him was very strong, Li Xiaofei almost didn't stand firm, and was held by Ye Xiaobei.

Ye Yunong took a group of disciples to greet him under the sword tower, which turned out to be a super large mansion surrounded by dozens of houses, and the highest was only two floors, and there was no building at all.

"Senior Brother Sword Saint, don't come unharmed?" Liu Mingge took off the giant sword on his back and put it down

"Hooligan junior brother, you haven't married yet?" The white-haired Ye Yunong exit is not as solemn as a famous and decent person

Ye Yunong and Liu Mingge ran opposite each other, and then hugged each other.

Li Xiaofei looked confused, this is the legendary Sword Master? There is no building at all in this sword tower!

The senior brothers teased each other, but they didn't take Li Xiaofei seriously at all.

It wasn't until Ye Yunong couldn't fight Liu Mingge that he mentioned going to the main hall to drink tea.

When drinking tea, Ye Yunong finally spoke to Li Xiaofei: "You are the Li Xiaofei who has no background and is not good at martial arts!" ”

Li Xiaofei never expected this Sword Saint to speak like this, so he had to reply stiffly: "It's really useless in the next place, so I followed Mr. Liu to meet the Sword Saint senior!" ”

"Haha, I can only get this cup of tea to drink, I'm not interested in taking you as an apprentice!"

Li Xiaofei suddenly felt like he was being tricked by Liu Mingge, and he came here just to have a cup of tea?

Li Xiaofei was secretly annoyed, and Ye Yunong spoke again: "Coming up to the Sword Tower, it's nothing more than apprenticeship, and then checking other people's privacy, is it an exception for you to come up?" ”

Li Xiaofei couldn't help it at this time: "I don't know what your unworthy sword tower is, and I didn't want to come here to apprentice, I was deceived by Mr. Liu!" ”

Liu Mingge pointed at Li Xiaofei and laughed: "Senior brother, you lost!" You'll have to cook for me yourself this time! ”

Ye Yunong shook his head: "Alas, I thought that being in a high position at a young age must be scheming, but it turned out to be such a stupid boy!" I'm going to cook for this hooligan brother! ”

Li Xiaofei was still confused: "You two masters bet, why are you involved me?" By the way, you haven't told me yet, why doesn't this sword tower have a building? ”

Ye Yunong laughed: "This place is already towering into the sky, isn't it just a high-rise building?" I don't understand, Senior Brother Liu has always been arrogant, how can he keep you with him all the time? ”

Liu Mingge laughed: "Hey, senior brother, now such a person is reliable, too smart, no, still stupid and reliable!" I brought him here, that is, I hope that my senior brother can give him a token of the Sword Tower, and he will be able to use it in the future! ”

"Hehe, it's okay to give him a token, but what do you get in exchange? Ordinary gold and silver treasures and even cities are hands-free! Ye Yunong's expression was very treacherous

"Mr. Liu, is this token so valuable? Gold and silver treasures and even cities are not exchanged! I don't have to? Li Xiaofei was very disdainful

Liu Mingge is angry, this Li Xiaofei actually short-circuited his head at such a time

"It's really a rare treasure, it's rare, and the token of my sword tower is not rare. How many princes and princes begged the head of the family for a lot of money, and the old man refused to give a lowest-grade token, this kid still can't look down on it! Ye Yunong felt that this Li Xiaofei was either pretending to be a gesture or really stupid

Liu Mingge simply said the role of this token: "With the token given by the senior brother himself, you can check the information of local officials and celebrities in many places in the world, don't you want it?" It's really rotten wood that can't be carved! ”

"The power of the Sword Tower is so strong? So why not use the information in your hands to compete for the world? Still hiding on this cliff? Li Xiaofei didn't believe in Ye Yunong and Liu Mingge very much at this time

"Everyone has their own ambitions, my brother is a collector who loves to spy on other people's privacy, but only for money! I'm a person who likes to travel around the world and visit the green house, do you think we'll do the emperor's drudgery? Silly boy" Liu Mingge looked very disdainful

Li Xiaofei was skeptical: "Why are you different from the legendary masters of the world?" It's all improper? ”

Ye Yunong flashed to his side and knocked on the top of his head a few times: "It's really stupid!" Who told you that Juggernaut should be serious? Who told you that you can't make money to eat, drink and be merry? So what's the point of being alive? ”

Li Xiaofei hurriedly covered his head, and tears were about to fall: "Sure enough, storytellers are all liars!" ”

Ye Yunong took out a token and threw it to Li Xiaofei: "Take it!" In five years, you have to come to the Sword Tower to pour me three years of foot washing water! When the time comes, whether you are an emperor or a villager, Lao Tzu will send someone to arrest you back! ”

Li Xiaofei thought to himself that I hadn't decided to ask for the token yet, but Liu Mingge had already caught the token and stuffed it into his arms: "Xiaofei, put away this token, if you accidentally lose it, you will stay in the Sword Tower as a coolie for the rest of your life!" ”

"Okay, okay, I, Li Xiaofei, thank you two for your affection, dare to ask how to use this token?"

Ye Yunong touched his head and looked at Ye Xiaobei again: "Xiaonan, you tell this stupid big brother!" ”

Ye Xiaobei coughed: "Master, I am Xiaobei, Xiaonan was sent to Mobei by you!" Didn't you say that this thing is used casually? Or in the Taoist temple to the code, or in the temple, or in the green building! The code is called Who dares to hit me! The person who responds to you will say that you came to hit me, and then each of you will slap each other four times, and it will be considered a catch."

Li Xiaofei really wants to scold, this sword saint is too unreliable, isn't this code a pit person?

Just as he was hesitating, Ye Yunong got up: "Don't send it, I'm going to soak my feet!" ”

Li Xiaofei thought to himself, he couldn't even eat after working so hard, Liu Mingge also got up: "Okay, senior brother, enjoy yourself, let's go downstairs!" ”

Li Xiaofei followed Liu Mingge and took a bamboo basket down to the bottom of the cliff, Li Xiaofei complained: "Mr. Liu, your senior brother Sword Saint is too unorthodox, by the way, aren't we here to subdue the Sword Gate?" I didn't do anything serious, but I followed your old man to talk nonsense! ”

"Haha, what do you kid know, let's see if you kneel down to greet you when you enter the customs again!" Liu Mingge is full of confidence

The two came to the front of the pass again, and the guards who did not show up when they advanced the pass first really led people to kneel on the ground to greet them, with a very humble and cautious attitude, and gave Li Xiaofei a few gold and silver.

On the way back to Chengdu, Li Xiaofei asked Liu Mingge: "We just passed by Jianmen Pass, why are the people guarding the pass willing to surrender?" ”

"Are you stupid? There is a living god living on top of this head, and don't the people at the foot of the mountain know how to pray to God? ”
