"Xuanjing, you are leisurely tasting tea and chess here, I am fighting for life and death in Jiangbei, how unfair is it?" Liu Xuan sat opposite Wang Xu and said with a smile.

Xuanjing is Wang Xu's character, and only Liu Xuan and a few other people can talk to his peers on weekdays and call him his character.

"You were so busy embezzling Jiang Baiqing's family business that you even slaughtered his chief elder, what does this have to do with me?" Wang Xu said.

"Xiang Yunfei was not killed by me, it was Li Rong's little guy who did it, he is much more ruthless than you and me when we were young." Liu Xuan sighed.

"Li Rong didn't die, he killed Xiang Yunfei?" Wang Xu said with a slight emotion.

The news of Li Rong's serious injury and dying came out of Wang Kun's mouth, and Wang Xu guessed that it was Zhou Xuan'er who made a move, causing Li Rong to be seriously injured. It was only a few days before Li Rong recovered from his injuries and killed a prestigious master.

"Well, I was surprised too. When I first saw him, his injuries had not healed, and after a few days, the news of Xiang Yunfei's death came, and I still didn't believe that Li Rong had done it. I stayed with him a few days ago, and found that he was indeed good, both in terms of open-mindedness and martial arts cultivation. Such a young man is afraid that he is still above Jiang Zuo. Liu Xuan said.

"It just so happened that I asked Wang Kun to go to Yuezhou to invite Lu Yuze, Lu Ying's father and daughter to come, and Jiang Baiqing is also coming to Yangzhou, I should bring Jiang Cheng with me, maybe we can watch a dragon fight between their young people." Wang Xu said with a smile.

After dealing with the officials and gentry, Di Renjie asked Gong Pengzu to talk to a secluded room in the official hall with a serious face.

The guests and hosts on both sides sat down, Di Renjie looked at Gong Pengzu and sighed softly: "Your uncle Zhihong and I were once officials in the same department, serving in the palace to serve the imperial history, and more than ten years have passed in a flash. ”

Gong Pengzu's uncle Gong Zhihong once served as the palace servant and the Xiangzhou assassin history, he was honest and fair, and his official reputation was very good.

"Di Gong is highly respected, and my uncle once mentioned to me that he and Di Gong had a good relationship." Gong Pengzu said respectfully.

"Do you know why I didn't come to you after I came to Jiangnan, and why did I come today and attack the obscene shrines all over Jiangnan?" Di Renjie said.

"The juniors don't know," Gong Pengzu said.

"I don't know, are you pretending not to know, or are you really not aware?" Di Renjie said unceremoniously.

"Junior," Gong Pengzu muttered for a moment without making a sound.

Di Renjie patrolled Jiangnan, but did not come to Yangzhou to see him, Gong Pengzu was also a little dissatisfied in his heart, thinking that Di Renjie did not trust him.

"Do you think I don't trust you, so I secretly visit you to find the truth?" Di Renjie said.

"Di Gong Mingjian, he really did his best to do his job, and Jiangnan also remained calm." Gong Pengzu said with a little resentment.

"As much as possible, the situation is calm?" Di Renjie said with a hint of sneer, "What do you say about the disappearance of Gongfu at the beginning of that year? ”

"It was just an accident, the thieves made a mistake, and the lowly officials have sent the state officials to do their best to search and arrest, and ordered all states and counties to send additional personnel to investigate, and I believe that the thieves will be arrested soon." Gong Pengzu said proudly, "I have made up the treasury for the loss of tribute and transported it to the Divine Capital. ”

Di Renjie almost burst into anger when he heard this, this is a big man in the field, not only has no political acumen, but also has no basic sense of responsibility and ability. Gongfu disappeared at the beginning of the year, and now more than three months have passed, and there are no clues, which shows the poor ability of his ability, and it is also the reason why his mind is useless in this regard. He was an unarmed official who had just arrived in Jiangnan, and he could roughly determine the origin of the murderer after walking around the place of the incident a few times.

"And then, nothing for more than three months?" Di Renjie said.

"The thief is treacherous?" As soon as Gong Pengzu's words came out, he was blocked by Di Renjie.

"Thieves are treacherous? I've only been in Jiangnan for half a month, and I know who did it, you've been in charge of Huainan for three years, and you still don't know? ”

To be honest, Gong Pengzu really didn't know at first, he usually admired the strategy of calm governance, and handed over official affairs to his subordinates, and feasted with guests in his spare time, so he could take care of such trivial matters as investigating the case, as long as the situation was generally stable, there was no famine and homeless people, it was a big deal to make up for the loss of things, anyway, the Yangzhou treasury was overflowing, and the loss was slightly greater, but it could be made up.

Gong Peng Zu was speechless when he said this.

"Your stay is decided by His Majesty the Holy Emperor, I can't leave it to myself, so I can do it myself!" Di Renjie had no intention of talking to Gong Pengzu about the imperial court's strategy to control Jiangnan.

Gong Pengzu's concept is still stuck in the era when the former courtiers and doctors were leisurely and happy, and the people ruled by inaction, simply speaking, talking about righteousness and writing articles with clever hands, and ignoring all practical affairs, it is no longer suitable for Wu Zetian's requirements for officials, and sooner or later he will suffer a catastrophe.

According to Di Renjie's understanding of Wu Zetian, she is a ruler who has extremely high requirements for the ability of officials.

Yangzhou Governor's Mansion is located in the Yacheng, covering a wide area, with luxurious architecture, showing the wealth of Huainan Road and the south.

Gong Pengzu arranged everyone with a thousand knights in Yacheng, and Yuan Xingchong and Li Rong each lived in a small but exquisite mansion.

Li Rong sat on the bed, and Yuan Xingchong's words to himself on the boat flashed in his mind.

"Are you wondering why I taught you the Ice Jade Technique, because I want you to deal with someone for me, the current Heavenly Demon Sect Sect Master Xue Huaiyi, the head of the White Horse Temple. Except for his aunt and grandmother, he is the first master of the Demon Sect, refining the Dao Heart Demon Dafa, and cultivating both Buddha and Demon, but he was in his thirties and advanced to the eighth grade and entered the micro realm, and his talent is not below you. He once fought with Wu Youxu, regardless of victory or defeat, and was deeply praised by Wu Youxu. Sooner or later, his ambitions will become a scourge to His Majesty the Virgin Divine Emperor, and personally, we also have some personal grudges. Yuan Xingchong stood on the side of the boat and said in the river breeze.

"I'd be happy to take this on." At that time, Li Rong replied without hesitation after hearing this.

"Dao Heart Demon Cultivation Dafa" is one of the four great wonder books "Heavenly Demon Strategy" contained in the supreme exercise, comparable to his own soft water true qi, in his lifetime to learn the martial arts of the four great books is Li Rong's heart's wish. It is impossible for Li Rongzi to challenge Wu Zetian, but with Xue Huaiyi, he will not give up.

These pictures flashed through Li Rong's mind, and Xue Huaiyi's name came to mind.

Li Rong is no stranger to Xue Huaiyi. On the contrary, the two still have some relationship, Xue Huaiyi's original name is Feng Xiaobao, a native of Luoyang, who once worshiped and practiced under the Thirteen Stick Monk Pusheng Sect of Shaolin Temple. Pusheng and Li Rong's master Puhui is a senior brother, so Li Rong and Xue Huaiyi are senior brothers. Of course, Feng Xiaobao is actually a person in the Demon Gate, he has done his best to pass on the true transmission of martial arts in Shaolin Temple, and he has even submerged in cultivating the Demon Dafa, so that the Demon Sect has been accomplished, so as to shock the Demon Gate, and he became the sect master of the Heavenly Demon Sect at the age of thirty.

"Xue Huaiyi, Wu Youxu" Li Rong said in a low voice, full of fighting intent.

Dispelling out the cluttered thoughts, Li Rong began to meditate on the mystery of the "Ice Heart Breaking Love" mental method.

After a long time, Li Rongcai took a long breath and showed a knowing smile on his face.

"Ice Heart Breaking Love" is not so much an internal strength method, but also a rare method of exercising spiritual power in martial arts, to some similarity with the meditation method in yoga, but more subtle, not only has the effect of meditation, but also uses true qi to stimulate several hidden acupoints on the head, which can make the spirit invisibly exercised, usually can absorb more heaven and earth vitality, when fighting, the mind is calmer, and the use of true qi and power is more subtle.

As for the cultivation of "Ice Muscle Jade Bone" and Shaolin Temple's "Yijin Sutra" and "Pulp Washing Sutra", they are all secret methods for tempering muscles and bones, but "Ice Muscle Jade Bone" adds a lot of medicinal baths and even poisons to refine the body, looking at Li Rong's eyes, he can't help but sigh at the wisdom of the ancestors of the Heavenly Demon Sect, the insights on martial arts, and the understanding of the human body, which is worthy of the title of the millennium faction.

In short, cultivating the "Ice Jade Jue" is not an overnight thing, and you have to return to Luoyang and order someone to collect the medicine you need.

Li Rong didn't think much about it, and slowly used the "Ice Heart Breaking Love" mental method to condense his spiritual power, observing the mysteries of all parts of his body, and using "Ice Heart Breaking Love" to internalize the body, the effect was excellent, far better than other exercises.

It is not easy to really practice the "Ice Heart Breaking Love" mental method, Li Rong also tried the relatively simple method at this time, and the part that does not conflict with his own exercises is more for the sake of experience, comprehending the martial arts insights and increasing his own comprehension.

For a whole day, Li Rong hid in the small courtyard and did not go out, let alone participate in the banquet organized by Gong Pengzu, and even the meals were delivered to the room by his subordinates.

Here, Yuan Xingchong doesn't seem to be resistant to officialdom, and he talks with the officials of Yangzhou Mansion very happily, which makes people not feel cold and hostile at all, and he doesn't look like a martial arts master at all, maybe this is the reason why Yuan Xingchong can't compare to Xue Huaiyi, and he can't be promoted to the eighth rank into the micro realm. When he came to Jiangnan, he was already tasked with inspecting Yangzhou officials and providing advice to Wu Zetian after returning to the court.

When the officials of Yangzhou Mansion saw that Di Renjie and others did not strictly investigate the officials' intention of losing their tribute responsibilities, the atmosphere became harmonious, and they laughed and laughed for a while.

Di Renjie also communicated with officials at all levels and prepared to further promote the work of banning obscene shrines in Jiangnan.
