His Majesty the Emperor smiled and said: "It's because I was negligent, I didn't want anyone to disturb before, and the inner servants were all in the outer pavilion, and no one took care of this tea stove." ”

Jiang Tingyu said: "It must be a cumbersome matter in the DPRK and China, so Your Majesty's mind is not here. ”

Nodding slightly, His Majesty the Emperor got up from the dragon seat, walked to the low table next to him and sat down cross-legged, beckoned to Jiang Tingyu, and waited until he sat on the opposite side before he said, "You entered the palace late at night, but what is the important matter?"

Jiang Tingyu said: "It's not an important thing. It's just that I heard that Li Mengzhou had some trouble, and I wanted to talk to Your Majesty. ”

This is also Jiang Tingyu, which official in the court dares to disturb His Majesty the Emperor in the middle of the night without important matters, it is undoubtedly an act of death.

His Majesty the Emperor was amused and asked, "What trouble did he get into?"

Jiang Tingyu thought seriously for a moment and said, "It's nothing, it's just killing a general from the military department." ”

There was a moment of silence in the study.

His Majesty the Emperor's eyes widened, and he didn't know whether to be angry or laugh Jiang Tingyu was so indifferent, and said embarrassedly: "This is also a trivial matter?"

Jiang Tingyu said: "It depends on what kind of aspect, and for Your Majesty, it is really not a big deal." ”

After being silent for a long time, His Majesty the Emperor said faintly: "Why did he kill that general? As far as I know, except for those who have achieved military merits, most of the generals are cultivators of the artistic conception, and he can kill a person who has not traveled far away?"

Jiang Tingyu said in agreement: "He really doesn't have the ability to kill the monk of the Cheng Realm, but with the intervention of someone from the Heavenly Lord's Court, it is very possible." ”

His Majesty the Emperor looked at Jiang Tingyu incredulously and said, "Is there still something about you here?"

After thinking about it, he thought it was very problematic.

How could someone who had a grudge against Jiang Tingyu be just a mere general.

"Your Majesty misunderstood, just because Li Mengzhou wanted to kill that person, and Weichen felt that it was no big deal, so he simply helped him. ”

"So who the hell is that general he killed?"

"Zhang Chong. ”

His Majesty the Emperor frowned, thinking for a long time and not remembering the name, and asked curiously: "Who is this?"

Jiang Tingyu raised his eyes slightly and said, "He is the person of His Royal Highness King Lu, and he is also the person personally arranged by His Royal Highness King Lu to enter the military department. ”

His Majesty the Emperor fell silent again.

Jiang Tingyu didn't say anything more, because he knew very well what His Majesty the Emperor was thinking at this moment.

Compared with His Royal Highness the Emperor Yuwang, the emperor has more trust in King Lu, after all, he is a brother, although the emperor's family is ruthless, but that is only a more general statement, because of the things that have happened in the past dynasties, there are always some inexplicable subjective cognitions of the royal family.

For the supreme throne, the princes are always like fire and water, but who can really understand that since those princes were born, they have been surrounded by how much they are exposed to power and beauty, and none of the princes really want to rebel and rebel, many of them are because of the instigation of the traitors around them, so they have to embark on this road.

When the young man was ignorant, the princes were also like ordinary brothers, brothers, brothers, brothers,

Of course, there are various reasons for this, but what cannot be doubted is that the imperial family has the same family affection, but many of the forms that are manifested are not enough for outsiders.

Now King Yu has signs of rebellion, and even His Majesty the Emperor has some evidence, but this kind of thing cannot be thought about, although His Majesty the Emperor trusts King Lu very much, and believes that King Lu will definitely not be as rebellious as King Yu.

But the power that King Lu has is more likely to rebel than King Yu, and even His Majesty the Emperor can find some small actions that King Lu has done secretly, but he thinks that they are harmless, so His Majesty the Emperor has always turned a blind eye.

But because of a certain thing, His Majesty the Emperor's trust in King Lu is no longer absolute, but he still hasn't thought about moving King Lu, and even he has rarely heard about King Lu recently.

And because of the appearance of the name Zhang Chong, His Majesty the Emperor's mind became active again, and even became more worried.

"That's the end of it. ”

Jiang Tingyu frowned slightly, waved his hand and said, "Follow what Your Majesty said." ”

His Majesty the Emperor rubbed his eyebrows and sighed: "This Li Mengzhou is really bold, he actually dares to kill the imperial court officials, and the most daring thing is that he dared to kill the Chengyi Monk as soon as he entered Amaterasu, but he didn't expect to succeed in the end." ”

Jiang Tingyu blurted out and said: "Isn't that the one in the Fujidong back then also like this, as if nothing in the world can make him feel afraid, no matter what problems he encounters, even if he falls into a desperate situation of ten deaths, he must make a gap." I didn't expect such a person to die, and it is unknown that he is still dead. ”

When mentioning that person, Jiang Tingyu's tone became no longer so flat, and his emotions also fluctuated a little.

His Majesty the Emperor's body visibly stiffened for a moment.

He pondered for a moment and said, "Do you think Li Mengzhou has anything to do with him? It's not just because they also have the same surname Li. ”

Jiang Tingyu said: "When I saw Li Mengzhou for the first time in Tongming Alley, Your Majesty should have been suspicious, what he was carrying behind him should be a sword, the sword was wrapped in a black cloth, I couldn't see it, but the black cloth was not an ordinary thing. Black silk should only be found in Fujidong, and it is doubtful that it appeared on Li Mengzhou's body. ”

His Majesty the Emperor said: "But all the people in the Fuji Cave are dead, and you have already investigated Li Mengzhou's past, and there is nothing to do with the Fuji Cave, even if a person's identity is covered up, it is impossible not to find the slightest flaw." ”

Jiang Tingyu said: "Your Majesty is reasonable, but whether it is the black silk or Li Mengzhou's coincidental surname with that person, the latter can be ignored, but the black silkworm has long been extinct, and it is only in the second cave." This is the flaw. Besides, Your Majesty really thinks that all the people in the Fuji Cave are dead?"

His Majesty the Emperor was a little surprised and said, "Is there anyone else alive in the world?"

Jiang Tingyu recalled the rumors that had existed in the well of the capital, and said: "Although Your Majesty has ordered Jiang Guo not to talk about things about Fujidong at will, but for those storytellers, they will always change their ways to tell some good stories to make money, and many things are not groundless, even if those stories are different, but the only thing that is the same is that the white-robed swordsman Han Yi once appeared in the territory of Yan Kingdom. ”

Many of these stories sung in the market will not reach the ears of His Majesty the Emperor, and it is the first time he has heard of such a thing, and he pondered: "That Han Yi came from the Fuji Cave, and he was the most talented disciple in the Fuji Cave, before the Bu Er Cave disappeared, Han Yi was already a master of cultivation at the peak of the Wuzhang Realm, and he was the peerless talent who was most likely to enter the Five Realms, if this person did not die, it was not impossible." ”

Jiang Tingyu said: "But in many versions of the story, although Han Yi once appeared in the territory of Yan Kingdom, the ending of the story is still dead. Whether this ending is true or not, Yan Guo is a very important key. It is very doubtful why Han Yi appeared in the Yan Kingdom a few years after the disappearance of the Fujidong and disappeared again. ”

His Majesty the Emperor is worthy of standing at the pinnacle of power, he frowned and looked at Jiang Tingyu, and said in a deep voice: "Maybe the destruction of the gate overnight has something to do with the forces in the Yan Kingdom, Han Yi survived, and after lying dormant for a few years, he heard some news, so he went to the territory of the Yan Kingdom alone.

Maybe he ran into some trouble and chose to lie dormant again, or maybe he still died in the territory of Yan Kingdom. And no matter what the outcome is, a certain force in the Yan Kingdom must be inseparable from the destruction of the Fujidong Gate. ”

Jiang Tingyu obviously agreed with His Majesty the Emperor's words, and then said: "Beiyan has a strong national strength, and there are many geniuses in cultivation, there is the Prince of Snow Night who can compete with Shen Qiubai for a place, as well as Xiao Zhinan and Han Youqing, if there is no reason, it will be difficult for my Jiang Kingdom to meddle in the territory of Beiyan, so this matter needs to be considered in the long run." ”

......

On the same night, in the gentle township on the shore of Yueming Lake, everyone Yu put down the scroll in her hand, and then she took two deep breaths in a row, her mood was a little calmer, looked at Li Mengzhou who was sitting opposite, and sighed lightly: "You killed Zhang Chong, even if someone helps you clean up the aftermath, but paper can't contain the fire after all, and sooner or later there will be a day when it will be stabbed." ”

Li Mengzhou picked a red grape from the fruit bowl and put it in his mouth, the sweet juice overflowed, nodded very satisfied, and said: "That's for the future, I don't need to think about it, as long as I keep getting stronger, so strong that no one dares to ask me for blame." ”

Everyone admires Li Mengzhou's self-confidence, which comes from her bones, but this inevitably makes her have more headaches.

"Now that I've done it, I'll be a bit verbose, but you should be careful. ”

Li Mengzhou nodded and said, "Thank you Yu for your concern, I know." ”

Everyone Yu continued: "According to what you said, presumably that black silkworm armor played a very key role, otherwise that Zhang Chong would have to spend so much effort to kill you." However, you do have a very serious injury to your eye, so find a pharmacist to see it, so that it can get better quickly. ”

Li Mengzhou was silent for a while, and said: "If it weren't for the fact that everyone knew the black silkworm and helped me find a tailor in the capital, not to mention that there was no black silkworm armor to help me resist Zhang Chong's attack today, I am afraid that I don't know which day I will be discarded by me in the future." In this way, I am grateful that everyone saved my life. ”

Everyone Yu smiled: "This is your chance, since the black silk is on your body, then you will know its usefulness sooner or later." However, the black silkworm armor is a foreign object after all, and it can protect you for a while in the early days, and when you continue to become stronger and meet stronger opponents, the black silkworm armor is just a piece of clothing. ”

Li Mengzhou said clearly: "Judging from the situation tonight, the black silkworm armor can resist the external attack of the Chengyi monk, and it must be crushed with a single blow when it encounters the monk of the Four Realms." Traveling far away is only the beginning of my cultivation, and it may be a long journey to break through to gain a place in this world, but I will do my best to reach the finish line as fast as possible. ”

Everyone Yu said: "It's good that you have such ambition, but for now you still focus on the problem that you can't see the sea of qi, if this problem can't be solved, all your thoughts will be in vain." ”

It became quiet in the room.

Li Mengzhou said sullenly: "Yes." ”

Everyone Yu comforted him and said: "Since you have entered the palace and know the problem, as long as you work hard, you will always be rewarded." You don't need to think about anything, just be yourself, you don't have to listen to what others say, after all, they just speak and do things according to their own ideas, that doesn't mean that you are such a person.

You can learn from other people's strengths, but it still belongs to others after all, and you need to make these your own and try to become stronger, and then go and slap those who look down on you at first. ”

These words did speak to Li Mengzhou's heart, he looked at the Yu family with gratitude, if at the beginning he just regarded the Yu family as a familiar person in the capital, then now he really regards the Yu family as his own family.

Everyone Yu is very good to him, and he should repay everyone Yu with more goodness, and solving the problem of not being able to see the sea of qi is the priority that needs to be done.

After talking to everyone Yu, seeing that it was too late, Li Mengzhou was about to leave.

Everyone Yu smiled and said: "If you want to come to Gentle Township in the future, come here, as long as you don't delay your cultivation, it's okay to talk to me here." ”

Li Mengzhou understands what everyone Yu means, and he can also understand the deeper meaning, that is, if he is gentle in the future, he may not have to spend money, just like going home.

He walked out of Yu's room very happily, and saw Jiang Zihua standing at the top of the stairs.

On the other side of the stairs is the girl's room, which is also the room of many of the girls here.

Li Mengzhou was very surprised, Jiang Zihua was still in the gentle township and did not leave.

After seeing Li Mengzhou, Jiang Zihua said: "Miss Wu'er has already fallen asleep, so you don't have to disturb her." ”

The two walked out of Gentle Township, and soon returned to the mountain gate of the palace and Chaosi Lane.

Back in his small courtyard, Li Mengzhou remembered the money bag that Qingyi had thrown to him.

He took out the money bag, poured out the silver inside, and counted it carefully several times, and it was as much as fifty taels.

"I didn't expect the Heavenly Council to be very angry, since I have the silver, let's return the money to Miss Wu'er and Shen Jiyue, after all, it is always a bad thing to owe money. If you encounter something like this tonight again, it will be easy to lose your life, and if you return the favor, you will be purer, and you will be able to pay more attention to the things in your cultivation. ”

also gave Shen Jiyue thirty-five taels of silver, which was about one tael of silver with the girl in law, a total of thirty-six taels, and there were fourteen taels of silver left, which was very good.

Although Li Mengzhou thinks so, if the relationship becomes unusual, whether he owes money or not has little to do with whether he will help or not.

In the next half a month, Li Mengzhou lived a life of three points and one line.

Get up at two o'clock every day, go to Aunt Feng's noodle shop for breakfast, then rush to the palace sword courtyard to attend classes, spend a few hours in the library pavilion, return to Chaosi Lane in the afternoon, occasionally stay in Wenrou Township at night for a few hours, continue to go back to Chaosi Lane to sleep, and go to the palace to attend classes during the day, and so on.

Although it was a bit boring, and the problem of not being able to see the sea of qi was not solved, I also felt very fulfilling.

The winter solstice is approaching, and the weather is getting colder.

There was a lot of snow in the capital, and everyone wore thick cotton clothes, wanting to spend the cold winter warmly, and every family became more busy.

And during this period, because Jiang Zihua, who originally thought that he had been caught, reluctantly became friends with Li Mengzhou, and after experiencing the killing of Zhang Chong, especially after following Li Mengzhou to go in and out of Gentle Township freely, Jiang Zihua also began to gradually regard Li Mengzhou as a true friend, almost inseparable, and talked about everything.

The entire Ligong Sword Academy knows that Jiang Zihua and Li Mengzhou have the best relationship, but the two of them are a genius and a 'waste wood', and they are inevitably manipulated by some jealous people.

But about these things, Jiang Zihua and Li Mengzhou don't care, they still have to do what they should do.

On this day, in the library of the outer courtyard, after Zhou Luo and Xin Ming registered, they found books related to enlightenment such as "A Preliminary Exploration of the Qi Sea" and "Far Travel", and studied them carefully.

Although Zhou Luo broke through to the realm of distant travel in the introductory test, and Xin Ming also entered the Amaterasu stage at the same time, they still hoped to be able to go further earlier, especially Xin Ming, who stayed in the Amaterasu stage for half a month, although it was a matter of time before he entered the distant journey, he still hoped to find a way to break through the realm earlier.

Amaterasu's vision of the initial stage of traveling is the key to finding enlightenment in the texts on spiritual practice, and this is the essence of the analysis of many great sages based on the situation of countless practitioners who have broken through the realm in the past.

But it's only for those who haven't traveled long distances and those who are new to traveling.

Zhou Luo walked in front of the bookshelf, because it was the library in the outer courtyard, there were no too advanced books here, but for Zhou Luo, who had just entered the realm of travel, it was also very shocking to him.

Many things that you didn't understand at the beginning can be answered in these books.

Xin Ming seemed to be a little unable to read the book at this time, looked up at Zhou Luo, he walked over, and said: "I still can't figure out why Li Mengzhou can enter the palace, he still can't see the sea of qi, and he doesn't even have any hope of traveling far away."

The division commander who left the palace didn't know what to value him, I really couldn't help but want to find that guy's bad luck, and when he first climbed the mountain, he looked like no one in his eyes, and he was very angry when he thought about it, if I didn't do something, I would be in a bad mood even if I entered the meditation. ”

Zhou Luo shook his head and said, "Don't think too much about these things, Li Mengzhou can naturally enter the palace for reasons from the masters, we, as disciples, should not question this matter, and it is not worth it to interfere with our own cultivation in vain." ”

Xin Ming said: "I understand the reason, but I still think that I must find a way to let the division commanders know that Li Mengzhou is not suitable for leaving the palace, which is also the best way to stabilize my state of mind, otherwise I am likely to not be able to break through the long journey in a short time, and this problem must be solved." ”
