Chapter 103: The Bai Family in the Same State
For the next few days, Li Rong stayed in the camp to practice sword techniques and familiarize himself with the new realm.
It is not surprising that Li Duozuo and the others did not catch Li Ruoxue and his party, even if they saw the figures, they couldn't talk about fighting them, but they just made the thousands of knights and soldiers tired enough.
"One hundred and thirteen people were killed, three hundred and twenty-one wounded, and almost disabled the soldiers of the battalion that remained behind." Li Rong took the military report handed by Wei Chi Xiu and glanced at it.
A battalion of 500 soldiers stationed near the altar was specially requested by Yuan Xingchong to Wu Zetian to stay there in case he could play a role at a critical moment.
"They followed General Li to stand on the front line of blocking the snake spirit against the party, and it was inevitable that they would suffer heavy casualties." Yu Chi Xiu said quietly.
The soldiers who stayed behind had been mentally prepared for an attack beforehand, and they were Li Duozuo's direct subordinates, so they acted as the main force to resist the snake spirit in the battle.
"Lord Changshi promised to replenish our manpower as soon as possible, and reward the soldiers who participated in the battle." Yu Chi Xiu said quietly.
These are all reasonable, and it is not an exaggeration to say that Qianqi saved the lives of hundreds of civil and military officials, and it is a little too much to say if he does not reward them heavily.
"I'm going back to the house to do some things, you stay in the camp for the next few days, and you must do a good job of compensating the wounded and wounded, and you must do it yourself. At that time, there will be a ceremony for the fallen soldiers, and I will personally attend. Li Rong said, "The time is set when the recruits enter the camp." ”
"Don't worry, I'll get things done." Yu Chi Xiu said quietly.
After Li Rong sent Wei Chi Xiu away, he packed up and rode back home.
"The Second Realm of Six-Rank Qi Refining," Li Hui said happily when he saw Li Rong.
"I met Li Zhaokun, the purple-shirted lion king, and tried his Seven Wounds Fist, but it turned out to be a blessing in disguise." Li Rong smiled.
"It turned out to be him, although our Seven Emotions Imperial Qi restrained his Seven Wounds Fist, it was not easy for you to escape from him unscathed." Li Hui said.
The purple-shirted lion king Li Zhaokun is famous for his reputation as the right road of Longlong, and he is also a big man in Guanzhong, and he once had several friends with Li Hui. Li Hui is no stranger to him, and he also admires his "Seven Wounds Fist", believing that it is a rare miracle in modern times.
"We have repelled the attacks of several Grandmasters of the Snake Spirit, but we still fall into the trap of the Snake Spirit. The grandmasters were pinned down in Luoshuiyan, so that the snake spirit could hit the altar directly, and the thousands of knights who stayed behind suffered heavy damage, if it weren't for the many masters in the palace, the loss of the court would be great. Li Rong said.
"The strength of the imperial court is not something that Li Ruoxue and others can speculate. They did this just to facilitate the Queen Mother to uproot it and take the opportunity to clean up the clan. It seems that the sacrificial ceremony was destroyed, which greatly reduced the face of the Queen Mother. In fact, the flood was created and the ministers were killed, causing many deaths and injuries to the people on both sides of the Luoshui River, which pushed the hearts of the civil and military officials and the people of the city to the opposite side of the snake spirit and the clan, and the gains outweighed the losses. Li Hui shook his head and said.
Although Li Hui stayed at home, the movements of Luoyang City still couldn't hide his eyes, and he had a clear understanding of the battle in the Imperial City that day.
"Father, I like a girl." Li Rong said suddenly.
"Aro's daughter?" Li Hui asked with a smile.
The Tang Dynasty seems to be open, but there are still strict restrictions on the difference between Hu and Han in wealthy families. Not to mention the perverted rule of five surnames and seven families that foreign surnames do not marry, ordinary people also pay attention to the right people, ordinary magnates will not marry a foreign woman as their wives at all, Li Hui's family, as a royal nobleman, has been glorious for several generations, and they are also very careful in this regard.
Li Rong nodded, "Adani is a good girl. ”
"Do what you want, don't regret yourself, and don't take into account any worldly eyes." Li Hui said, "My father will not interfere with your marriage, I only hope that you can be happy." ”
"Who is my mother?" Li Rong asked again.
The identity of Li Rong's mother is a taboo in the Li Mansion, and no one has ever dared to mention it, only that Li Rong died of a blood collapse when he was born. The medical skills of this era of the Tang Dynasty are far inferior to those of later generations, and it is a very dangerous thing for women to give birth, and it is common for them to die due to childbirth. However, Li Rong didn't believe that with Li Hui's grandmaster-level strength, he would not be able to support his wife.
"Your mother was born in the Bai family in the same state, and she herself is still the former saint Bai Yunxuan of the Yinnu faction." Li Hui said with a hint of bitterness on his face.
"Then how could my mother die because she gave birth to me?" Li Rong stood up and said a little angrily.
"The Book of Water has fallen into the hands of my Li family since your grandfather's time, but no one has been able to practice it, because it requires the qualifications of martial artists very harshly, and it is almost impossible to achieve. Your mother is proficient in a secret technique, and since the womb, she has used her own original essence to conceive and raise the fetus, changing the qualifications of the fetus, so that she can meet the qualifications for practicing the "Water Book" exercises at birth. Since you were born, you have been full of essence and have been cultivating martial arts for a long time, do you think that all this is a gift from God? Li Hui said, a look of pain flashing in his eyes.
"Why didn't you stop Mother?" Li Rong asked.
"She has not been able to marry into the Li family because of her own background, and she pins her regrets on you, and she wants to make up for something, so she will do this," Li Hui said softly, "And that kind of secret technique comes from the secret inheritance of the Maiden faction, even I have never heard of it, let alone stopped it." ”
When Li Hui and Bai Yunxuan fell in love, the demon gate did not dare to appear in front of the world openly, even if this was the combination of the two, it caused an uproar, which provoked Li Hui's brother, when the head of the Li family was furious and almost kicked him out of the house, or the queen Wu Zetian came forward to suppress all this.
The Bai family in Tongzhou runs the Qinglou business, which is shameful to those big families, and has a very bad reputation, and it is reasonable for Li Hui's family to stop it.
Looking back, Bai Yunxuan and Li Hui's encounter and even love is not the result of the design and connivance of the Demon Gate. At that time, Li Hui was first revealed, noble, superb martial arts, and resolute temperament, and grew up under the noses of Emperor Gaozong and Wu Zetian since he was a child, and was deeply favored by the two, so he naturally became the object of the Demon Gate.
After Bai Yunxuan's death, Li Hui never married and had no concubines. For his love with Bai Yunxuan, he has no regrets in this life.
Maybe Li Rong inherited the memories of his previous life, and he always felt a little alienated from this era, but whenever he thought of his mother, he always felt an indescribable strangeness. When he was a child, he would always cry and cry for his mother, and Li Hui always looked at him tenderly, full of love.
"I want to pay my respects at my mother's grave." Li Rong said.
"Don't go for the time being, wait for my soul to return to the underworld, and bury me with your mother." Li Hui said, "Go ahead! ”
Li Rong turned around and left, leaving Li Hui alone, standing quietly in the pavilion.
The summer sun didn't seem to warm his heart, and tears flashed from the corners of his eyes and slid down his face to the ground.
He really felt that he was about to come to the end of his life, and some things always had to be explained to his son, including Li Rong's mother's deep affection for Li Rong.
In the back garden of the Aloon Mansion, full of exotic customs, Li Rong and Adani are like a pair of beautiful people, the man is handsome, the woman is beautiful, and the two walk side by side.
"You don't look happy," Adani asked.
"I think of my mother, I haven't seen her since I was a child, but I know she loves me very much." Li Rong sighed.
The emotions of the past life and the present life are mixed, and there are both regrets for the past life and attachment to this life, and sometimes it is always difficult to distinguish them.
"Pei Yuandan, give it to you." Li Rong didn't say anything, took out a porcelain bottle from his arms and handed it to Adani.
Adani took the vase, "My mother died when I was five years old, when I was young, I kept by her side to wake her up, and then I cried and fell asleep, and when I woke up, my mother had turned to ashes and left the world. ”
"I'm sorry to remind you of your old grief." Li Rong said.
"Nothing, sometimes death may be the beginning of another life, whether for the dead or the living." Adani said, "By the way, I haven't seen you for a few days, your aura is even stronger, your progress in martial arts is too fast, I have been promoted to the fifth rank for two years, and I still can't break through the current realm." ”
"Because your body is not strong enough, to put it simply, the foundation is not solid," Li Rong said, "These Pei Yuan Pills are very helpful for increasing the strength of the body, and I also have a secret book of Tianzhu Yoga here, and the combination of the two should enable you to break through the shackles." ”
"Tianzhu Yoga?" Adani said in surprise.
A warrior's love for martial arts classics and divine weapons is innate and cannot be changed.
Tianzhu Yoga is a secret martial art that can be compared to the Zoroastrian "Bright Flame".
"Don't think of it as so mysterious, yoga is the best foundation when it is used to practice martial arts, it is easy to learn, step by step, but unfortunately I don't know much, and I can't deduce it all." Li Rong said.
"Thank you so much," Adani said.
"If it weren't for the bottle of life source you gave me, I wouldn't have broken through to a new realm in the short term." Li Rong said.
Zoroastrianism's "Flame of Light" also has a unique ability to temper the body, and it can be regarded as the top in polishing muscles and bones. Yoga is one of the best practices in this regard.
The two chatted while walking, exchanging their understanding of swordsmanship, martial arts, and life, and talked quite speculatively. Even Adani told Li Rong about the secret technique of tempering ** in the "Bright Flame".
The secret technique of tempering the body in the "Bright Sacred Flame" focuses on the word "melting", which uses the characteristic of the holy fire to melt foreign bodies and foreign gases, so that the warriors can continue to take intensive cultivation drugs to stimulate the growth of true qi. Relying on the cultivation of medicine will inevitably cause the medicinal power to remain, or the poison will affect the body, and the operation of this secret technique can melt all these strange gases, and there will be no danger of unstable foundation.
When Li Rong heard this secret technique, he not only praised it greatly, but the wisdom of his predecessors should not be underestimated, and the martial arts techniques that have been passed down for a long time have unique places.
Luo regret stood on the small building in the distance, looked at the two with satisfaction, and put down a big stone in his heart.
Adani is the heart of Ah Luo, the most beloved daughter, she has been smart since she was a child, and she is a rare martial arts genius, and she has reached the five-grade realm at a young age, which is rare in the hands of Zoroastrians in the past. But because she is too good, few Hu people can match her, and the invisible separation between Han and Hu makes those big families never marry Adani, I didn't expect Li Rong to fall in love with Adani at first sight.
A Luo regret has a deep friendship with Li Hui, and he knows that Li Hui is not the kind of old-fashioned and conservative person, so he can't help but feel very relieved.
