Chapter Seventy-Three: The Knife That Will Be Swung at Chaosi Lane
The capital spent a few days peacefully, because of Li Mengzhou's special identity, the matter of being taken away by Xuanzheng Si on the street was seen by many people, and it did cause some turmoil in the market, but it was also like a passing cloud, and it quickly returned to calm.
Li Mengzhou, as usual, returned to Chaosi Lane after attending morning classes in the palace, and did not go out all afternoon.
Just sat on the wicker chair under the eaves, holding the drunken dream sword, staring at it tightly, as if to see it as a flower.
Gu Shiyan sat on another rattan chair, and she also looked at Li Mengzhou for a long time.
Obviously, both of them are very patient people at some point, or too boring.
Li Mengzhou didn't see the flowers from the sword, and Gu Shiyan didn't see the flowers from Li Mengzhou, but after looking at them for a long time, she felt a little uncomfortable in her eyes.
She sighed lightly and said: "There is still half a month before the dragon banquet starts, and when the dragon banquet is over, it is really summer, I don't like summer very much, there are mosquitoes, and it is easy to insomnia." ”
Li Mengzhou glanced at her sideways, hesitated for a moment, and said: "I like spring, summer, autumn, and winter, but at the same time, I don't like it, my hardest days mostly happened in winter, and I also traveled through the four seasons, all of which were going to die." ”
Gu Shiyan looked at him silently, thinking that this black-faced teenager should have experienced a lot of things, some of which were even unimaginable, but the world is so big, everyone, whether it is a big person or a small person, has their own story and what they have experienced, which is not surprising.
But Li Mengzhou should be regarded as a very exceptional person.
"It's a bit unusual today, and something bad can happen. ”
As night fell, Li Mengzhou looked up and suddenly muttered.
Gu Shiyan heard this murmur very clearly, she clenched the sword in her hand, and said, "If the people from the Palace Sword Academy and the Heavenly Cardinal Court will not appear, are you ready for a battle?"
Li Mengzhou lowered his head and continued to look at the Drunken Dream Sword placed on his lap, and said: "Before I came to the capital, I knew very well what I wanted to do, but the premise was to become a cultivator. ”
"There are too many powerful cultivators in the capital, in other small places, maybe I am a very strong person, I don't know if it is lucky or unlucky, I stand in the capital, I must see the most powerful beings in the world every day. ”
"In normal times, this is a great blessing, after all, not every new cultivator can often see those powerful people, but if you are enemies of these powerful people, luck will turn into misfortune. ”
Li Mengzhou took the drunken dream sword in his hand, looked sideways at Gu Shiyan, and said: "I cherish my life, but if I can do something, I can also give up my life." So I definitely can't die until I do it. Actually, I really hope that the Heavenly Council and the Imperial Sword Court can do their best to protect me, but this in itself is a very unrealistic thing. ”
"The world is bustling, all for profit, and the world is bustling, all for profit. Because I am a disciple of the Sword Academy, the palace will be on my side, because I am the Qingjiu of the Heavenly Academy, the Heavenly Academy's side will also be on my side, and if I am nothing, no one will take me seriously. ”
Li Mengzhou said with a smile: "I know that it seems a little hypocritical to say this kind of thing, but I have a sword in my hand, so I shouldn't just hold it, the Heavenly Council can help me for a while, but it can't help me for a lifetime, the court is full of deceit after all, if there is no greatest interest, the Heavenly Council will not be desperate for me." ”
"Besides, I also have some problems with joining the Heavenly Council, and I haven't thought it through yet, so I don't fully trust them, so I can only use each other. Naturally, you can't completely hand over your back to them, and your own strength is the most important thing. ”
"Since I set foot in the capital, I have tried to be very careful with every step, but there are still many things full of accidents, in the face of those invincible existences in the capital, I subconsciously want to dodge, although today is not a good time, and even seems a little stupid, but I still want to try to rely on my own ability to touch the big thing of Xuan Zhengsi. ”
Gu Shiyan silently listened to Li Mengzhou's words, and suddenly interrupted: "It's because you think in your heart that the possibility of Xu Hexian appearing here is very low, and I also have the strength to fight with those servants of Xuan Zhengsi, so you have such a decision, right?
Li Mengzhou looked at Gu Shiyan quietly, was silent for a long time, and said: "You are stupid to me! Of course, this kind of thing still depends on the situation, knowing that going up is death, the idiot will rush up, of course, he obediently ran back to the palace sword courtyard to find the teacher to save his life!"
Gu Shiyan thought that these words were really shameless, so what you said before was completely just to pretend, so I almost thought that you were really arrogant, and in the face of a strong enemy, you were not afraid to draw your sword and fight.
This act is really a shame for the sword gate that once looked down on the world, was not afraid of power, and only needed a sword in his hand to be the enemy of the world.
However, there are actually some problems in the world's perception of sword cultivation, if you really have the strength to be the enemy of the world, naturally you don't have to care about anyone what you say or do, even if it is sword cultivation, if the strength is not good, learn the style of your predecessors, I am afraid that you will die and even the bones will not be left.
Sword cultivation can also be reluctant, if you don't, you will be killed, otherwise there is no chance for you to be majestic in the future.
You can't just because you're proud that you can instantly have the strength to kill the Great Beasts of the Five Realms, that's impossible.
In the end, all you can get is a very heroic death.
Even if this will become a beautiful talk that is sung by the world, when it comes to how powerful the sword cultivation is, and how dare to fight the five realms with the first realm, what is the point, people are dead, and it is useless to say anything.
Although Li Mengzhou also admires the courage of those sword cultivators in the world, and even yearns for them, it doesn't mean that he has to cut it regardless of who the other party is, and he stupidly raises his sword to cut it, which is something that a real idiot will do.
Facts have proved that although the world is rumored to be powerful in sword cultivation, many of them are also described as idiots, and it is not purely because of fear and jealousy, there is some truth in it.
It's because sword cultivators are idiots, so they are very powerful, they don't know what is called fear, and they don't know what is called awe, as long as they are not convinced in their hearts, waving their hands is a sword, which one does it matter which one you are?
Li Mengzhou felt that he could do this, but only in the face of people who were weaker than him, and even people who were slightly stronger, but not too strong, when he encountered a strong person who was really at the same distance from heaven and earth, of course, how far he could run, and a fool would fight you. Thinking that Qing Yi didn't know how to listen to Jiang Tingyu, there was no movement in the past few days, if Xuan Zhengsi really made small moves behind his back, the people of the Heavenly Council were afraid that they would not appear, maybe they were waiting for Xuan Zhengsi to make a mistake, and then grab Xu Hexian's handle, so that even if he appeared, he would get the last moment.
Li Mengzhou can only hope that Xu Hexian will be unwilling to do everything himself because of his identity as the head of the department.
......
Cabinet of the Xuan Zheng Division.
Bright lanterns hung under the eaves, and the patrolling armor soldiers passed through the corridor in twos and threes, so tight that not even a single mosquito could fly in.
Xu Hexian sat in the room where the case files were stored, with oil lamps lit on the bookcase, rice paper, and two smashed volumes stacked high, and in front of him, there was a roll of unrolled documents, on which there was a very conspicuous name circled by red handwriting - Li Mengzhou.
Zhu Zaitian stood quietly in front of the bookcase, and there was a strange silence in the whole room, and the needles could be heard.
Xu Hexian silently looked at every word on the paperwork, and said softly: "This is all the things you have investigated in the past few days?"
Zhu Zaitian bowed slightly and replied, "Exactly." ”
He didn't know if he didn't investigate, and he was really shocked when he investigated.
Although Li Mengzhou only came to the capital the winter before last, he has done a lot of things.
What is slightly worth his attention is that Li Mengzhou went to Yingshui Town before being promoted to Dabi in the inner courtyard of the palace, and killed Pei Ruyu, who had the cultivation of the upper realm of Chengyi, and Li Mengzhou at that time was just a newcomer to the artistic conception, and this battle was very amazing.
And Zhu Zaitian is also very familiar with Pei Ruyu, because one of his subordinates has a friendship with Pei Ruyu for eight worships, and occasionally helps Pei Ruyu, Zhu Zaitian also turns a blind eye, because he doesn't care, he really doesn't know, it turns out that Pei Ruyu was killed by Li Mengzhou.
The member of the Xuanzheng Division who has a relationship with Pei Ruyu is just a small person, even if he learns that his brother was killed, after finding out Li Mengzhou's identity, he will definitely not dare to blatantly use the name of the Xuanzheng Division to take revenge, so he will not make a noise.
Besides, since joining the Xuanzheng Division, this person has not had much contact with Pei Ruyu, but for the sake of the love of the sworn brothers, he occasionally helps a little, so as not to ignore the future and go to the trouble of the disciples of the Sword Academy.
Zhu Zaitian was just very surprised by this matter, so he usually didn't pay attention to it, and Jiang Guo himself didn't care about the grievances between cultivators at all, it was not within the responsibility of the Xuan Zheng Division.
But in addition, Li Mengzhou also has an unclear relationship with two other murders, which is what Zhu Zaitian has to care about.
Although a long time has passed since those two events, and it is impossible to find out the conclusive evidence of Li Mengzhou's murder now, there are still clues to follow after all.
At least one of the murders, if it can be confirmed, it means that no matter how much power the Heavenly Council and the Ligong Sword Academy have, they can't protect Li Mengzhou.
Zhu Zaitian didn't dare to delay a moment, sorted out all the things investigated, and sent them to Xu Hexian in time.
At this moment, he only waited for the head of the division to make a decision, and then he could draw his sword and kill Chaosi Lane without any worries.
