Chapter 46
When people always make impulsive decisions, the direct confrontation with the big shopkeeper caused Qingxiao Emperor to have an extremely rare emotional out-of-control.
At the moment, Li Xunlian stood up and cleared Li a little bit that had been ignored before, but it was extremely important, and Emperor Qingxiao calmed down for seven points in an instant, and there were three points left, after all, the head of Gainwei was a veteran of the two dynasties, and he was abolished and cultivated, and it was not easy to accept.
In fact, to be honest, between the two peerless powerhouses of Qingxiao Emperor and the big shopkeeper, in terms of personality alone, the big shopkeeper is a little stronger. Of course, being strong at some point also means being aggressive. As far as this incident is concerned, in fact, the actual loss of the imperial court is greater than that of the inn, but the big shopkeeper just can't see the inn being hurt a little, on the other hand, in many previous incidents, Qingxiao Emperor is relatively forbearing.
Of course, a large part of this forbearance is also to make the world surnamed Zhu forever.
After thinking about how much benefit he would gain if he fought with the inn and became the king, Qingxiao Emperor was silent for a long time, his silence was not only analyzing and thinking about countermeasures one by one, but also being angry and depressed.
"What do you mean?" After thinking about it, Emperor Qingxiao looked sideways at Li Xunlian, and although his tone was still cold, it was very relaxed.
Li Xunlian saw the turn of events and said with a smile: "There are no idle people here, so let's not talk darkly." Regarding this matter, I believe that the imperial court just wants to save face, and the purpose of putting me in prison is to block the mouths of the people, otherwise the people of the world will have a one-sided view in the hearts of the people of the world that the imperial court cannot suppress even a single force in the rivers and lakes, which will lead to instability among the people. ”
It's very straightforward, but it is undeniable that this is indeed what Qingxiao Huang thinks.
Nodding, Qingxiao Emperor waited for the following.
"In fact, if you think about it carefully, there is no fundamental conflict between the inn and the imperial court, if there is a war, it will do more harm to the inn than any benefit, I don't want to do it and won't deny it. Of course, the same is true for the royal court. Not to mention how much benefit those ambitious people will gain after the war, only the demon clan can't let them profit in vain. After all, in the face of foreign enemies, you and I are still a family after all. ”
Li Xunlian's words are very fair, but they are analyzed from an objective point of view, and the words do not increase the prestige of the inn and destroy the momentum of the imperial court, but also show the most urgent situation at present.
At present, the foreign race is also the beam of the sky in Kyushu, how can there be civil strife!
Qingxiao Huang nodded again, it turned out that he was not wrong about Li Xunlian. Maybe in the future, the inn will become more and more powerful in the inheritance of this son, and even surpass the big shopkeeper, but the inn is controlled by him, and he can rest assured that the foundation of the imperial court, even if the Qingxiao Emperor is gone.
After all, he is the lord of the country, and Emperor Qingxiao showed a more calm mind at this moment, he first cast an appreciative look at Li Xunlian, and then turned to the big shopkeeper and arched his hand, saying: "You and I are at the top of the world in vain, and we are calm...... It's not as good as a child. This time my royal court has been in the first place, and the big treasurer forgives me. ”
Not calm enough is just relative, not to mention that the inn has always been stable and can't control morality, but this doesn't mean that the big shopkeeper is not close to people, since Qingxiao Emperor has said so, how can he continue to be aggressive and strong.
Bowing back, the big shopkeeper also shook his head slightly, and said: "Actually, I also have something wrong with the matter of Fang Cai, in the final analysis, the culprit of this incident is King Cheng, as for the ...... of Mr. Wei."
Before he finished speaking, he heard Manager Wei sigh deeply, but his sigh was not stunned, but there was a sense of enlightenment.
"With the grace of the saints, our family has lived in vain in this life, not to mention that he is old, and he doesn't have much life. Manager Wei's old face floated with a sense of ease, paused, and said half-jokingly: "Our family is embarrassed, the big shopkeeper has abolished our family's cultivation, which is like abolishing an arm for the saint. ”
This is the big shopkeeper who is talking about it, if there is something to ask for, what is the matter? It is nothing more than the invasion of the demon clan, and this matter is undoubtedly the latter that is most threatened by the forces of the rivers and lakes and the imperial court.
"Mr. Wei is really loyal, and he thinks about the imperial court between the lines. But when it comes to speaking, it is safe and secure in Kyushu, how can the big shopkeeper have less than half of his strength?" Li Xunlian was good at words, and immediately replied in a half-joking way.
Emperor Qingxiao and Manager Wei both nodded with a light smile, they could understand the meaning of Li Xunlian's words, Kyushu is not only the royal family, but also the survival of the inn, as a member of Kyushu, what should be done, the inn will never be half a point slacking off than the imperial court.
"The big shopkeeper has this son to inherit the mantle, which is really the envy of the emperor. ”
This time the big shopkeeper did not reply, in his opinion, whether this statement was sincere or not, it was a compliment, a compliment is nonsense, and he did not like to answer nonsense. Albeit...... This compliment came from the dignified Emperor Qingxiao Emperor......
"I'll leave this matter to you. With a word of instruction to Li Xunlian, the big shopkeeper walked to the side of Mr. Wei and said, "Old Wei, please come with me." ”
The thing to be handed over to Li Xunlian is naturally how to resolve this dispute, this is the character of the big shopkeeper, since he can trust Li Xunlian's ability, there will be no interference. As for what he wanted Manager Wei to do with him, Emperor Qingxiao faintly guessed the slightest, and his face also floated with the joy of loss and regain.
Sure enough, I saw the big shopkeeper leading Mr. Wei to a quiet and sheltered place, and the slightest trace of Xuan Qi poured from his palms, and with the traction of his fingers, he gradually crossed into the sea of Mr. Wei's qi.
This is healing for Mr. Wei!
Previously, Emperor Qingxiao had inspected Chief Wei Guan's Qi Sea, and at that time, in his opinion, he was powerless as the peak of the Divine Sea, let alone others. You must know that the destruction of the sea of qi is not an internal injury, let alone a disease, and it is almost impossible to heal it.
But at that time, he ignored one point, this injury was caused by the big shopkeeper, and now the big shopkeeper personally took action, I believe there will definitely be a turnaround.
Regarding this matter, Qingxiao Emperor didn't think much about it, and knew that it was the big shopkeeper who didn't want to go, so he came to the rescue. However, Li Xunlian understands that this is not the case. Even if the two sides break up today, with the character of the big shopkeeper, they will definitely heal Mr. Wei afterwards. He was discarded because he had violated the rules of the inn, and he was healed out of respect for loyalty.
The inn is the first thing about morality, and to some extent, loyalty is the rarest of the morals.
At this point, as long as Li Xunlian can give a way that satisfies both parties, this matter can be regarded as a perfect solution.
"I can accept that the royal family will detain me pending trial on the basis of arrest, but on one condition. Li Xunlian didn't talk nonsense anymore, and directly pointed to the point.
"Nephew Tell me to hear it. "Emperor Qingxiao is seeking the dignity of a royal family, since Li Xunlian can say so, no matter what the conditions, it is worth listening.
Li Xunlian smiled and said, "The condition is that I can only be imprisoned after killing the king." I know Your Majesty will certainly not refuse, because this is also something you want to do. ”
"Haha, this matter can also be counted as a condition?" Qingxiao Emperor laughed heartily, his eyes sparkled, and said: "How can this matter be bothered by the virtuous nephew, this emperor will naturally send other people's heads to the Divine Sword Peak." ”
"No, no, no. Li Xunlian shook his head, pointed to the direction of the hematite mine, and said: "In that ruin, more than 100 brothers in my inn are buried, they died in the calculation of the king, this revenge, I want to avenge it personally." ”
The more than 100 brothers refer to those mine guards who could have chosen to leave, but swore to follow Hu Wan to the death, in fact, strictly speaking, they did not belong to the people of the inn, but at this moment, Li Xunlian already regarded them as brothers.
Generations of descendants enjoy the protection of the inn, and their wives and children enter the Divine Sword Peak to settle down, and then they kill King Cheng to avenge them, which is what Li Xunlian thinks the inn must give them as a reward.
Emperor Qingxiao nodded and promised: "That's okay, this emperor will leave for the palace, before you visit, this emperor guarantees that not even a fly can fly out of the palace." ”
"Your Majesty. Li Xunlian bowed down to see off Emperor Qingxiao, and so far, this dispute with the royal family can be regarded as a perfect ending.
After saying goodbye to the big shopkeeper, Emperor Qingxiao returned to the imperial city, and the head manager Wei stayed with the big shopkeeper, after all, the sea of qi is the top priority of Xuan Xiu, and the waste here is different from other parts, and it will not be able to heal at all for a while and a half, and it must be treated slowly by returning to the mountain with the big shopkeeper.
Li Xunlian told the big shopkeeper about the agreement between himself and Qingxiao Emperor, and the latter nodded after hearing this, as expressionless as before, and still said that since he chose to trust, he would not interfere.
Regarding this point, Li Xunlian has benefited a lot from the big shopkeeper, take Hu Wan as an example, Li Xunlian handed over the hematite mine to him to take care of, and he ignored it, this is the greatest trust, to be honest, the two did not get along for long at that time, and the common hardship was only a battle in the center of the lake. Such trust makes Hu Wan grateful, how the hematite mine is managed does not need to be repeated, yesterday after the bloody fight of forgetting life and death, each other was willing to sacrifice to create a chance for each other to survive, but also proves that the friendship between the two has reached what extent.
It is no exaggeration to say that all this can be slowly established on the basis of trust.
Since Emperor Qingxiao said that he would besiege King Cheng's Mansion after his return, Li Xunlian was not worried about King Cheng escaping, thinking that he hadn't returned to Shenjian Peak for a long time, he decided to follow the big shopkeeper to go back, and he was now in the Solid Xuan Realm, and he needed better cultivation methods and Xuan Gong. Moreover, the Taoist sect was also involved in this matter, and how to deal with them also needed to be discussed in detail.
Also, the most important thing is that the disappearance of the population is a foregone conclusion for the demon clan's rebellion, and everything else is put aside, and this demon clan matter must be countered as soon as possible.
found the unconscious Kun Mountain in a mountain stream somewhere, and immediately set off, and a few days later, Li Xunlian and his party appeared in front of Shenjian Peak.
The divine peak rises like a sword, towering into the sky and not seeing the top.
The peak of the sword is more than 10,000 zhang high, the shape of the peak is like the sword inverted into the sky, looking up at the foot of the mountain, you can only see the clouds and mist on the mountainside, and you can't look at its peak at all.
More than ten miles away from Shenjian Peak, it is the Nu River known as "the river is 8,000 zhang wide, the angry waves hit the canghuan, the immortals are discouraged, and it is difficult to cross the long sky".
Although this is an exaggeration in the world, it can be realized that in the eyes of the world, it is even more difficult to cross the Nu River than to ascend to the sky.
At present, it is spring, the ice and snow melt is the time when the rivers are flooding, the water of the Nu River is tumbling and mighty, looking from a distance, like a winding and galloping dragon, the angry waves are monstrous, and the rumbling sound of the water is terrifying.
Everyone is the top person in Kyushu, and they have already admired the magnificence of this Nujiang River countless times, but Chief Wei has never been to Shenjian Peak so closely, and he can't help but sigh at this moment.
As a non-inn kid, he can still stand in front of Shenjian Peak at such a close distance, and I believe that Chief Wei is still the first.
"If you can come to Shenjian Peak as a guest in your lifetime, you will be considered to be a good one. Manager Wei shook his head angrily, at this moment he claimed to be old and not our family, but because he could come to Shenjian Peak had nothing to do with the government and opposition forces, in addition to healing, it was more an invitation made by the big shopkeeper to admire his loyalty, which can be regarded as a personal friendship.
When he arrived at his own territory, he naturally wanted to do his best to be a landlord, but although this person was invited by the big shopkeeper, he didn't like to say much, and this kind of reception was naturally handed over to Li Xunlian to take care of.
"Hey, what did Wei Lao say, if you like it, you can stay longer, things in the palace are complicated and annoying, it is better to use the excuse that the injury is difficult to heal, and steal ten or eight years of leisure here. Although Li Xunlian's words were a joke, they were also from the heart, Manager Wei would definitely not live here for a long time, but on the other hand, if he really stayed and didn't leave, Li Xunlian would not be disgusted.
"Haha, Xun Gongzi laughed, ten or eight years is too long, whether the old man can live until then is two words. But your enthusiasm is quite touching to the old man. "This Manager Wei is also a man of temperament, putting aside the disputes between the two sides, to be honest, he still likes Li Xunlian's little ghost very much.
"By the way, I almost forgot about this! Mei Wu, you lead Wei Lao up the mountain, arrange everything in the residence to catch the wind, and I will arrive later. Li Xunlian seemed to suddenly remember something, arched his hand towards Manager Wei, and said, "Old Wei forgives his sins, and the kid will be absent for a while." ”
Manager Wei naturally nodded and replied, and said in a loud voice: "Just be busy with you." ”
After seeing the group go up the mountain, Li Xunlian went to the bank of the Nujiang River alone, he did remember one thing, the old sister Li Yanran smelted the red and white double sword when the smelting weapon was compared, but the quality was not perfect, it was only a half-step holy weapon, if you want to return to the furnace to improve the grade, the water of the Nujiang River is an important material.
Of course, the half-step holy weapon is quite complicated, and at that time, Li Xunlian said that the water of the Nu River was easy to obtain, but it was only relatively speaking, after all, compared to the materials that Gongsun Yu said, the difficulty of obtaining it was indeed much lower.
However, even if the difficulty is low, it is not an easy task. And there were a lot of things after the big competition, and everyone was busy and didn't care about it. Although Li Yanran also mentioned a few mouths, it was delayed after all.
This is not Li Xunlian's shirk, but there is really no time. From one point, you can see how busy he is, with Li Xunlian's extremely smelting temperament, the golden crystal iron jade and the extremely cold Xuanbing are placed in the Sumeru ring, but he has not poured out a little effort to study how to smelt.
This time is good, since he has returned to Shenjian Peak, then he can be busy for a while. King Cheng has the imperial court watching, and the hematite mine will not be able to be put back into production for a while, and the matter of the demon clan can be handed over to the three sword slaves to investigate, thinking about it, there is indeed nothing important for him to work hard.
"Take this opportunity to study the characteristics of Jinjing, Iron and Jade and Extremely Cold Xuanbing as a good student, and strive to open the furnace one day, we will also produce an artifact, even if I win the mirror circle, I still feel pressed by him. ”
Li Xunlian thought to himself as he walked, and what he thought was also the truth, although he defeated Jingyuan in the smelting weapon competition and won the first place, but as a smelting master, he had never opened an artifact, so he was embarrassed to say that he was a top smelting master.
Besides, even Qing Xuanzi's kind of goods have opened the Divine Sword and Dragon Sword, even if it is not as round as the mirror, it has to be compared to this person.
Just thinking about it, before he knew it, Li Xunlian had come to a river basin with a gentle river. The flatness here is due to the fact that the Nu River is divided by the branch of Shenjian Peak, which is divided into several streams by 8,000 zhang, and it is okay to operate a boat and ferry, and even to travel against the waves.
"Although water can be taken here, it has the artistic conception of 'anger' of the Nu River, which is not good. Li Xunlian smacked his lips, he didn't have time to carefully sum it up before, he knew that he would let the big shopkeeper help him get water, and with him, even if he took out a pot of river water under the huge waves that can overturn the big boat in the center of the Nujiang River, it is estimated that it will not be difficult.
Now, he can't take the turbulent place by himself, and he can't look at the slow-flowing place, so go back and find someone, it's a little shameless. Just imagine, the dignified innkeeper can't even take out a pot of river water, how embarrassing it is.
Li Xunlian hesitated for a long time, and he was very embarrassed.
"Forget it, let's take a walk. He shook his head and continued downstream.
This walk is a small half-day situation, either the water flow is too fast, or too slow, in short, it is not suitable. Li Xunlian was so strong, and gradually had the idea of fighting, and angrily found a river basin that was not particularly turbulent, but it didn't seem to be something he could bear, so he wanted to enter the river to get water.
"Fight, just a pot of water, how can you stop this son!" He is a character who thinks of it and immediately does it, since he has made up his mind, he retreats his clothes by the river, and without hesitation, he plunges into the water.
As soon as he entered the water, Li Xunlian felt a majestic pressure surging towards him, although this kind of strength did not contain Xuan Qi, but it was more powerful than the full force of Xuan Xiu in the Gu Xuan Realm, and he directly slapped him with seven meat and eight vegetables, almost unable to catch it in one breath, and choked to death in the water.
Hurriedly controlled the Xuan Qi to protect the whole body, and the faint fluorescence flowed, and the periphery of the red striped body was wrapped in a layer of air cover, and the pressure of the turbulence was also reduced a little.
Since you have already taken the risk, you will simply take the risk to the end, and since you want to take water, you must take the water in the heart of the river. Thinking like this, Li Xunlian gritted his silver teeth and dived towards Jiang Xin with bated breath.
said that it was a submersion, but in fact, he couldn't control his vertical direction at all, and could only say that in the process of drifting with the tide, he gradually moved horizontally towards the center of the river.
Jiang Shen is not something he can estimate, and he can't be sure how much time it will take, in short, he can't hold his breath and floats on the surface to breathe, and when he can't stand the fatigue, he floats casually along the turbulence, and there is a feeling of struggling and involuntarily.
During this period, there were many dangers, such as the towering reefs in the river, the huge monster fish that chose to eat people, these are all things that can threaten Li Xunlian's life, and he is tired and at the same time distracted to pay attention to these, which is extremely uncomfortable.
I don't know how long he floated, but when Li Xunlian was about to surface again for ventilation, he suddenly felt that the water was turbulent several times, and he himself was uncontrollable and flowed downward at an extremely fast speed.
If you say badly, you should have strayed into a large turbulence, but even worse is in the back......
Just as he was using his Xuan Qi to tighten his protection, a sharp pain suddenly came from his back, which should have hit the reef in the middle of the river, and then he felt a surge between his chest and abdomen, and a mouthful of fishy sweetness erupted from his throat.
Before a mouthful of blood could be sprayed, the fierce river water poured into his mouth, and at this moment, Li Xun even felt that his lung tubes were about to explode, and at this moment, he was almost unconscious.
The stubbornness in his nature and his calmness far beyond ordinary people at the critical moment finally made him survive, his forehead was bruised, and his hands were clenched indiscriminately without losing the control of his Xuan Qi, no matter what he encountered, as long as he could stop his uncontrollable body, he couldn't let it go.
Finally, he grasped a rattan that was also something, and his body still couldn't control the rush of the huge force, but at the moment when the "rattan" was straightened, he held it tightly, and finally used his strength to completely surface and stop castration.
It was indeed a rattan stick, a vine-like plant wrapped around a huge stone pillar, and there were quite a few of them growing on the huge stone pillar, densely packed, like the vines of morning glories.
The rattan has the thickness of a wrist, although it is not thin, but it is estimated that it will not be able to withstand the long-term impact of such turbulence, Li Xun couldn't even care about being dizzy, and gathered all his strength to cross the stone pillar along the rattan little by little.
Xu is heaven's favor, the moment before exhaustion, the rattan was broken, and he also grabbed another rattan wrapped around the stone pillar and successfully climbed the stone pillar.
This stone pillar protrudes ten feet out of the river, and Li Xunlian climbed for several moments in such an embarrassing situation before climbing to the top.
The top was flat, and Li Xunlian was lying on it in prostration, with a dazzling sunlight cast on the top of his head, but in his opinion, it was so wonderful.
"It's so dangerous, I almost died in the river. After a long time, the choking eased slightly, and his strength recovered a lot, so Li Xunlian sat up and looked around.
It's okay not to look at it, but this look almost didn't scare Li Xunlian to death.
I saw that around him, I don't know how many strange insects with black shells and hundred-legged feet have surrounded him. He had never seen these insects, the appearance was a bit like the tide insects that specialized in the humid place as the living environment, but they grew black and shiny hard armor, and the hundred pairs of thin feet were more like centipedes, and this insect had no eyes and no mouth, only two mouthparts as thin as needles at both ends of the hard armor that could not be distinguished.
Li Xunlian only felt a vicious cold rushing from the tail vertebrae to the heavenly spirit cover, and cold sweat seeped out, and subconsciously wanted to use the Xuan Qi to shake them away, but under the urging of the Xuan Qi, he found that there was not much left, and he must have already exhausted it when fighting the torrent, and even overdrafted.
After looking deeply, Li Xunlian rubbed his eyebrows fiercely, thinking of the scene where he was about to be sucked dry of blood in a while, his scalp was numb......
