Chapter 167
"Yu Qian, which side are you on?" Chen Jiayan said angrily.
An Yuqian unexpectedly restrained Chen Jiayan, and took him back and ran for several miles, only to lift the ban on Chen Jiayan.
"I don't want you to die at the hands of Li Rong." An Yuqian sighed.
"What, I'm going to lose to him, a hairy boy?" Chen Jiayan said.
"Why do you think the Holy Mother is so fond of him? In the battle of the Hidden Dragon and the Snake Spirit Flood City, Li Rong resisted the master of the ground list head-on, the seven-rank grandmaster purple-shirted lion king Li Zhaokun, a few months ago, he went south to Jianghuai, killed the great elder of the Heavenly Witch Sect, Qinglong, the young sect master of the Heavenly Corpse Sect, defeated Jiang Cheng, the heavenly wolf Jiang Cheng of the left shuangbi, the demon sword Lu Ying, and even defeated the hidden bat elder of the seven-rank grandmaster Tianwu Sect. An Yuqian said repeatedly.
The Heavenly Demon Sect is well-informed and has influence all over the world, and Li Rong has become the object of the Heavenly Demon Sect's attention since his debut. An Yuqian is in charge of the intelligence collection of the Heavenly Demon Sect and knows many secrets that ordinary people don't know.
"How is that possible? He wasn't even twenty. Chen Jiayan exclaimed.
Chen Jiayan followed Lai Junchen and served in Dali Temple, busy dealing with those hostile officials of Wu Zetian all day long, and knew little about things outside the officialdom.
"He's a martial arts genius," An Yuqian said, "This mission failed. King Yue has Li Rong's protection, it is difficult for us to find another opportunity to start, and it is too late to inform the elders of the sect to come, so we can only go back to explain the matter to the sect master and let him make a decision. ”
Chen Jiayan was unwilling, but he didn't dare to go back to Li Rong to fight, so he had to follow An Yuqian to leave Langling Mountain, preparing to return to Luoyang to make plans again.
In the small valley, Li Rong faced Li Zhen, the king of Yue, and Zhou Xuan'er, the saint, and stood facing each other.
"Smack!" Li Rong took out a porcelain vase from his arms and threw it to Li Zhen.
"This is a gift from the little nephew to the imperial uncle, don't be surprised." Li Rong said with a smile.
"Hmph, if it weren't for you, I'd be in such a situation?" Li Zhen said angrily.
"Speaking from the heart, Wu Zetian's vigilance against the imperial uncle has never been broken, and his control over the court situation is very firm, and the imperial uncle has no chance at all." Li Rong said.
"Your father and son are both traitors to the Li family, so what qualifications do you have to teach me a lesson?" Li Zhen said.
Li Rong shook his head, "Uncle Huang has been promoted to the Grandmaster for a long time, why can't he see it?" Wu Zetian has full wings, and the general trend of ascending the throne as the emperor is irreversible, and there is no doubt that only a few assassins in the clan will block the car and kill himself. ”
"Suicide? Don't forget, without my Li family as the emperor, the children of the Li family will have today's wealth, your grandfather has been favored by Gaozu, Taizong, and Gaozong for three generations, and the glory and wealth are endless, have you forgotten the fundamentals? Li Zhen said.
"There is no immortal dynasty, and Wu Zetian is the emperor with a woman, and sooner or later the next generation of thrones will belong to the Li family, and nephews will always have no sons," Li Rong said.
"You mean to wait another year or two, until Wu Zetian dies of old age, who knows how the situation will change, pin your hopes on a few decades later, and don't make any efforts to resist?" Li Zhen said angrily.
"Don't make any noise, come into the house and talk!" Zhou Xuan'er persuaded on the side.
Zhou Xuan'er knew Li Rong's strength, and with the current injuries of his husband and wife, if Li Rong really wanted to kill someone, Zhou Xuan'er thought that it would be impossible for her to die together.
Back in the house, Li Zhen sat back on the couch, opened the porcelain bottle, and a medicinal fragrance permeated the room.
"Poria Pill of the Shangqing Sect!" Li Zhen said in surprise.
Poria Pill is the secret tradition of the Shangqing faction, which can be as famous as the Shaolin Temple Da Huandan, expensive and rare, and it is impossible to get it unless it is a friendship with the Shangqing faction. Of course, the medicinal effect of Poria Pill is wonderful, and it has a special effect on the treatment of injuries, which can just cure Li Zhen's injuries.
"Say, what do you ask for when you drive away the people from the Demon Gate and give me pills?" Li Zhen naturally knew that Li Rong would not give away his pill in vain, and he must have asked for something.
"Uncle Huang's mountain-destroying fist is both rigid and soft, mysterious and abnormal, the little nephew has admired it for a long time, I don't know if Uncle Huang can teach it?" Li Rong said.
"Didn't your father hide my Li family's Xuanwu True Skills, and why do you want my Mountain-Destroying Fist?" Li Zhen sneered.
The Mountain-Destroying Fist is a martial art derived from the Xuanwu True Gong, and it is not out of the scope of the Xuanwu True Gong.
"The little nephew has seen the Xuanwu True Skill, which has greatly inspired my martial arts, but the Mountain Destroying Fist has a unique mystery with the way of softness and rigidity, and it can create such a unique learning, and the emperor's martial arts talent can be described as amazing!" Li Rong said appreciatively.
If it weren't for the fact that Li Zhen was limited by his own identity, he had too little actual combat and not enough tempering, otherwise with his martial arts talent, it would not be a problem to advance to the eighth rank.
"Since you saved the lives of my husband and wife, the Mountain Destroying Fist is a return, and we will not owe each other in the future, and I will not keep my hand when we meet again." Li Zhen thought for a moment and said.
Li Rong didn't take Li Zhen's threat to heart, and when they met next time, Li Zhen might not necessarily be his opponent.
Then Li Zhen passed on the mountain-destroying fist he created to Li Rong, probably when he was old and there was no successor, Li Zhen not only gave the boxing method, but also informed Li Rong of the understanding in the process of creating the boxing method and the experience of the promotion master.
The exchange between the two lasted for three days and three nights, and Li Rong confirmed the way of Yin and Yang transformation of Destroying Mountain Boxing and Taijiquan, and felt that he benefited a lot. After all, Taijiquan comes from later generations, there is no heaven and earth vitality to absorb, pure tempering of the body, with muscles to exert force, there is no way to run the true qi, the mountain destroying boxing is different, it is close to the times of martial arts.
Li Rong did not accept Li Zhen's boxing method in vain, he told Li Zhen about Taijiquan and his own understanding in this life, which made Li Zhen also benefit a lot.
Three days later, Li Rong left Xiaogu contentedly and returned to Langshan County. This trip to Langling Mountain ended in a successful end, and he received the teachings of Li Zhen, the grandmaster, which deepened his accumulation in martial arts.
"What is the meaning of passing on what you have learned all your body to Li Rong?" Zhou Xuan'er asked.
"As he said, after this incident, Wu Zetian no longer has any scruples, the general trend has been achieved, unstoppable, my struggle is inherently unstoppable, but I still have to leave a back hand to ensure that the bloodline of my Li royal family is not extinguished." Li Zhen said.
Blood ties dominate this era, and Li Zhen knows that Wu Zetian may not kill Li Rong, but will reuse him. The Wu clan headed by Wu Chengsi and Wu Sansi will not let go of Li Rong, and there will be a battle between the two sides, if Li Rong can advance by leaps and bounds in martial arts and advance to the rank of grandmaster, it will definitely destroy the possibility of the Wu clan seizing the throne after Wu Zetian's death. Maybe Li Rong can protect the Li family to regain the throne, some things have nothing to do with will, and the environment will push you to that position.
After taking the Poria Pill sent by Li Rong, Li Zhen felt that her true qi had recovered a lot, at least she was no longer powerless, and about twenty percent of her true qi was available, which was comparable to an ordinary five-grade master.
The couple said a few words, packed up their things and left Xiaogu. This place is known to the people of the Demon Gate, and they cannot stay for long.
In Langshan County, Di Renjie controlled the Weiyong Battalion, calmed the people's hearts, and commanded a group of officials to help the people resume production, so that the county town was slowly lively, and people's production and life returned to normal.
"My lord, what is Di Renjie's intention to interfere in my military affairs on the grounds that the officials and soldiers are disturbing the people, and he killed dozens of officers and soldiers without permission?" Qu Chongyu, the general of the Leopard Taowei, heard that the Weiyong Battalion in Langshan County was controlled by Di Renjie, and came to the Chinese army camp to report to Zhang Guangfu, the commander of the army.
Zhang Guangfu had already received the official letter sent by Di Renjie, but he also pondered for a long time and did not respond. He and Di Renjie have been officials in the same dynasty for more than ten years, and they usually have some friendships, and they don't want to turn their faces with Di Renjie.
"Did the Mighty Battalion disturb the people?" Zhang Guangfu asked.
"The army needs a lot of supplies, and there may be some meager wealth after the bloody battle, but as Di Renjie said, there will be no careless human life, Di Renjie is obviously a bloody mouth, jealous of our military achievements." Qu Chongyu said indignantly, "He is like the eldest grandson of the Taizong Dynasty, Wuji, who is jealous of the virtuous and jealous, and treats us as Hou Junji? ”
Zhang Guangfu's face sank when he heard this, and he was speechless for a long time.
During the reign of Taizong, Hou Junji was ordered to conquer Gaochang, which was Qu Chongyu's homeland. With the strength of the Tang army, it was natural to capture it, and Hou Junji successfully destroyed Gaochang, and when he and his soldiers destroyed the country, he and his soldiers wantonly plundered the capital of Gaochang. After returning to China, the ministers led by the eldest grandson Wuji attacked Hou Junji for private arson and plunder, and were almost convicted and imprisoned. Of course, the credit is not to be said, and entering the cabinet has become an empty word. Qu Chongyu was the nephew of Qu Zhisheng, the king of Gaochang back then, and knew this matter very clearly.
Qu Chongyu's words hit Zhang Guangfu's sore spot. Zhang Guangfu previously served as a squire in Fengge, and was in charge of the military festival as a member of the Fengge Luantai Pingzhangshi, and he wanted to make great contributions to quelling Li Zhen's rebellion, and then leap to the head of the prime ministers, and become a Nayan or internal history. Di Renjie's call to enter the cabinet as a minister was very high, could it be that Di Renjie deliberately made trouble and disturbed his own way to the prime minister.
So, Zhang Guangfu followed Qu Chongyu's meaning and moved the text to reprimand Di Renjie.
Di Renjie argued with reason, and refuted Zhang Guangfu speechless with sufficient evidence.
Soon Zhang Guangfu received the order to return to the court. After entering the court, Zhang Guangfu held a grudge and wrote to the court to accuse Di Renjie of being disrespectful, and asked to remove Di Renjie from the position of assassin. In order to appease Zhang Guangfu, who had just made great contributions, Wu Zetian had to remove Di Renjie from the post of Yuzhou Assassin and demote him to Fuzhou Assassin History.
Di Renjie received the order, so he could only reluctantly resign from his official position, prepare to return to Beijing to report on his work, and then go to Fuzhou. Zheng Cili of the Zheng family in Xingyang succeeded Di Renjie as the assassin of Yuzhou, which should be another arrangement of Wu Zetian. Zheng Cili was born in the Zheng family, and his power is very strong in Yuzhou, which is very suitable for stabilizing Yuzhou at this time, which shows that Wu Zetian's political methods are very skillful.
Li Rong followed Di Renjie back to Luoyang, where he had been absent for several months.
