Chapter 109: The Enemy's Nest Appears

Li Rong did not have any compassion for Shen Shuxiang. Shen Shuxiang's mansion covers a vast area, with more than 20 houses, every brick and tile has been carefully carved, and the traces are very new, which should be newly built. The balustrades and windows are of the highest luxury, and the wood used is of the finest quality. The furnishings and utensils in his room, even the gold-painted embroidered silk quilt on the bed, and the Boshan incense burner on the wooden frame next to the couch, you can know at a glance that it is not an ordinary product, and the value is quite high.

"I don't want to do the same thing a second time!" Li Rong pointed at Shen Shuxiang and temporarily lifted the ban imposed on him.

Li Rong can be sure that Uncle Shen is the kind of person who is indulging in enjoyment, and has a beautiful wife in bed, not a strong-willed person.

Uncle Shen was lying on the ground, panting heavily, bean-sized sweat running down his forehead, and a resentful look flashed in his eyes.

Although Uncle Shen tried his best to hide it, he was still seen by Li Rong.

"Where is the camp where King Yue trained his cavalry?" Li Rong asked again.

"Zhangchai Village in the southeast of Tianzhong Mountain, the whole village is the manor of King Yue." Uncle Shen hurriedly said.

Li Rong nodded slightly, "Thank you Shen for your guidance in joining the army,"

After speaking, Li Rong stood up and was about to leave.

"Aren't you afraid that I'll lie to you?" Seeing that Li Rong easily believed his words, Uncle Shen asked with a feeling of incredulity. After finishing speaking, Uncle Shen couldn't help but regret wanting to slap his mouth, "Why do you have more mouths?" ”

"No one can lie in front of me." Li Rong smiled, and slapped it with his palm, and the palm wind hit Uncle Shen's forehead, knocking him unconscious.

Li Rong walked into the courtyard quickly, and knocked all the servants and maidservants of the Shen Mansion unconscious, so as not to reveal their whereabouts, and at least to buy a little time for themselves.

At this time, the sky was already bright, and the soldiers who had been busy for most of the night, the officials could no longer hold on, so they had no choice but to send additional personnel at the city gate, and sent people to check the passers-by at the gates of various squares, hoping to catch Li Rong.

Li Rong entered the water along the sewer, his body passed under the water like a swimming fish, and after a while, he came to the water gate leading to the ditch outside the city.

Li Rong lightly slapped his palm on the rusty iron fence, and the iron fence fell casually, revealing a hole the size of a tabletop, and Li Rong drilled out.

The ditch was very deep, and there were not many pedestrians in the morning, so no one noticed that there was a person hiding in the water. Li Rong went around to a remote and uninhabited place on the north side of the city wall, jumped up, landed on the embankment, jumped onto the road in a few big steps, and headed towards the north, leaving behind the majestic and tall Runan City.

Li Rong walked to the official road, turned on his true qi, and steamed the wet clothes on his body, emitting a burst of steaming white mist, and the clothes turned into dry clothes after a while.

Looking at the sky, identifying the direction, and recalling the map around Runan City, Li Rong walked quickly towards the place that Uncle Shen said.

"Report to my father, forgive the child for being incompetent and not catching Li Rong." Li Gui came to see Li Zhen with a ashamed face and said.

Li Zhen didn't sleep all night, and after he talked to Wang Kun, he came to the study to sit there to deal with official business, flipping through the news and documents from the imperial court, and the incident was imminent, and no time could be wasted.

"Li Rong can easily take my full blow, it can be seen that he is not an ordinary six-rank master, it is normal for you to not catch him, and it is an accident to catch him." Li Zhen said calmly, not as if he was not bothered by Li Rong's matter.

"But allowing Li Rong to make trouble in the place where we and other henchmen are allowed to find out some news and report it to the imperial court, it will be very detrimental to our affairs." Li Gui said.

"And what can you do to catch him?" Li Zhen said to his son.

"It has been rumored that my father has been rebelling for some time, and Wu Zetian has long been dissatisfied with my father, and he has no excuse or opportunity to do it," Li Gui analyzed, "No matter what the rumors are, the imperial court has no actual evidence." Li Rong ran to Runan to also do this, the news he wanted most should be the evidence of his father's recruitment, we took this opportunity to send a master to ambush in Zhangchai Village, one to prevent Li Rong and other people in the court from prying eyes, and the other to meet Li Rong can also take the opportunity to capture him. ”

"That makes sense," Li Zhen nodded with satisfaction.

Li Gui's martial arts cultivation is not bad, and he can be called the best among the masters of the younger generation, but he didn't expect to be able to grasp the key to the matter in case of trouble, and he should be able to inherit his career if he builds it up well in the future.

"You are solely responsible for this matter, let Ande assist you, Xuanyiwei is all sent by you, and you can ask Wang Kun to make a move, I think he was very hostile to Li Rong yesterday, you can take advantage of it." Li Zhen continued.

Li Gui was overjoyed when he heard this. Xuanyi Wei is an internal guard established by Li Zhen to imitate the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry under the command of his father Emperor Taizong, the predecessor of the "Xuanwu" organization. King Yue is not only skilled in martial arts, but also has excellent business acumen, plus many state capitals, and has worked in the position of the governor of Yangzhou for many years, accumulating a huge amount of wealth, thus attracting many masters of the rivers and lakes to form Xuanyi Wei, specializing in doing things that cannot be done on the surface and are not easy to do.

The reason why Li Gui was happy was very simple, Xuan Yiwei was his father's confidant and guard, and he was given his command, which meant that his father loved and trusted him, and it also showed that his father intended to pass on his career to himself.

"Let's get on errands!" Li Zhen said.

Li Gui responded, turned around and left the study to find Ander to implement the matter.

"Wang Gongzi is interested in chasing and killing Li Rong with me?" Li Gui came to see Wang Kundao.

Although he has a deep grudge against Wang Kun, in front of Li Rong, a real enemy, no matter how big the grudge is, he has to put it aside.

"Li Gui, you are still the same, with a fake smile on your face." Wang Kun sneered.

At the beginning, the two had different personalities, Wang Kun thought that Li Gui was so hypocritical that he always wore a mask, and Li Gui felt that Wang Kun looked like a proud rooster, so they fought when they were young and vigorous, but Wang Kun was more powerful.

"You are also sharp-toothed and sharp-tongued, and you have the face of a high-ranking scholar all day long," Li Gui pouted, "I think you didn't seem to stop Li Rong last night, and your swordsmanship is not as good as his." ”

In last night's battle, Wang Kun and Li Rong fought only a few moves, and they didn't tell the winner, but everyone was not an ordinary master, and they still had eyesight.

Li Rong easily repelled Wang Kun's obstruction, which can be said to be free to advance and retreat, and slightly gained the upper hand.

Wang Kun's face changed, and he knew his own affairs. Last night, Li Rong used his knife to block his long sword. With Wang Kun's eyesight and feeling, he felt that Li Rong was slightly stronger than himself in terms of strength and true qi, as for the knife technique, because the time of the fight was still short, it was impossible to judge, but it should not be worse than himself.

"Tianji Martial Sword" and "Xuanyin Wonderful Sword" are the two great arts of the Southern Dynasty, and it is difficult to distinguish between high and low, only depending on the personal comprehension and cultivation of the swordsman. Now that Li Rong has learned the "Xuanyin Wonderful Sword", it means that he is only higher than himself.

"You came just to provoke me and help you besiege Li Rong together?" Wang Kun said.

"I heard my father say that Li Rongneng took a punch from him with all his strength, and the realm should have reached the second realm of the six-grade qi refining, opening up the eight meridians of the body. If my expectations are not bad, Brother Wang, you are only the first realm of the six grades, and you are not as good as Li Rong in the realm. Li Gui said.

From his father, Li Gui learned about his father's judgment of Li Rong and Wang Kun's martial arts cultivation, and took the opportunity to stimulate Wang Kun.

"If cultivation represents everything, let's meet and talk, just chop wood, and still need to fight hard?" Wang Kun said with vinegar.

"Anyway, do you want to go with me to kill Li Rong?" Li Gui said.

Wang Kun was stunned for a moment, his face changed slightly, and he made up his mind and said, "Okay, I don't allow my father to rank below Li Rong's father on the heavenly list, and I am not as good as Li Rong." ”

Wang Kun's father, "Sword Spirit" Wang Xu, ranked fifth on the heavenly list, behind the second-ranked "Sword Marquis" Li Hui, which is also something that Wang Kun has always been dissatisfied with.

In the eyes of Wang Xie and these southern masters, the Li Tang royal family and the wealthy families in the north are all barbarians and Hu species, contaminated with a strong Hu style, polluting the nobility and purity of the Han people, and the Li family's theft of the "Xuanyin Wonderful Sword" is a great shame for these high-ranking families in the south.

Li Gui showed a smug smile, he knew that Wang Kun was arrogant and couldn't get used to seeing others as clever as him, and what he said was not good was to be careful.

Dressed in white cloaks and black leather armor, under the leadership of Li Gui, the group rode horses and galloped across the streets, and ran out of the city gate in the direction of the north of the city.

Zhangchai Village is more than ten miles away from Runan City, and was originally a large village with thousands of people. At the end of the Sui Dynasty, the world was in turmoil, and a group of thieves rushed into the village, killing thousands of people, and burning the village, and the village was deserted from then on. When the Tang Dynasty was founded, the nearby villagers all rumored that Zhangchai Village was in turmoil due to too many dead people, so no one went there, and the village was completely abandoned.

After Li Zhen, the king of Yue, served as the assassin of Caizhou, he went out to hunt and found this village, so that it had no people to live and was not far from Runan City, so he secretly bought the land around it and used it as a place to train soldiers and horses in private.

Li Rong traveled in less than a quarter of an hour before arriving at Zhangchai Village.

It is hilly and full of locust forests, which is very suitable for hiding people and horses, no wonder thieves were infested back then.

At this moment, the sky has just dawned, and there are not many pedestrians on the road, Li Rongzhi is not afraid of being discovered by others, and maintains a fast speed along the way.

Li Rong didn't know where Zhang Chai Village was, although he knew the general location from Uncle Shen, he always had to look carefully, there were not many pedestrians here and couldn't ask.

Thinking of this, Li Rong suddenly jumped into the locust forest next to him, chose the tallest towering ancient locust, tapped the trunk of the tree with his toes, and flew to the top of the tree in a few steps, standing on the top of the tree and looking around.
