Chapter 113: Beginning of Winter
Although it seems to be in the same realm as Chu Canglan, it is only seeming, and it is elusive to be a young demon in the world like this.
Maybe Qi Xiaoran tried his best to be able to fight with Chu Canglan, but this is the Western Jin Dynasty, and there is a sword cultivator of the Sword Pavilion next to him, no matter how you look at it, there is no chance of winning.
All he was thinking about was how to get out, and he didn't have the idea of dying with Chu Canglan at all.
He secretly thought about the countermeasures, if he didn't say anything, this situation would not be broken, and as for what to say, it was not all up to him?
Qi Xiaoran, who suddenly figured it out, immediately pretended to be very hesitant and said, "I am indeed not from Jin, but from Jiang Kingdom. β
Chu Canglan twisted her eyebrows and said, "I have dealt with Shen Qiubai briefly, but I didn't expect Senior Sister Gu to go to Jiang Kingdom. β
He raised his eyes to look at Qi Xiaoran and said, "Now that Jiang Guo is entangled in things outside the mountain, why did you come to the Western Jin Dynasty to investigate Senior Sister Gu?"
Qi Xiaoran replied to the question: "The second prince should know about the Palace Sword Courtyard, but do you know that there are three more gentlemen in the Palace Sword Courtyard?"
Chu Canglan said lightly: "I've heard of some. β
Qi Xiaoran said: "Mr. Seven of the Sword Academy of the Imperial Palace, named Li Mengzhou, his identity in Jiang Guo is suspicious, and he may have a plot to coax Gu Shiyan to live under the same roof with him, and there are a lot of things in Langya City, and the second prince will naturally know if he goes to inquire." β
"That Li Mengzhou's city is very deep, and the methods are ruthless, dare to sneak directly into the prison of the Xuanzheng Division to kill people, although Gu Shiyan is a student of the Dragon Roll Academy, she should not be suspicious, but in order to be able to confirm that Gu Shiyan has nothing to do with Li Mengzhou, she still needs to come to the Western Jin Dynasty for a trip. β
"I didn't come with malicious intent, and I didn't think about hiding it from the Dragon Roll Academy, I knew very well that someone from the Dragon Roll Academy would definitely find me, but I didn't expect the second prince to come in person. β
Qi Xiaoran is also in a hurry, and he has connected a lot of unwarranted things together, even if the second prince who is far away in the Western Jin Dynasty really investigates the truth, he will not find any problems in a short period of time.
Moreover, when he investigated Gu Shiyan in the Western Jin Dynasty, he did show up many times, which was very inconsistent with the situation of the secret investigation, which was a trouble, but he also turned the danger into a very logical situation.
Chu Canglan frowned slightly, and said, "So, are you from the Jiang State court?"
Qi Xiaoran said: "I am an agent in the Heavenly Academy. β
If it was just an ordinary cultivator, even if it was from a certain big mountain gate in Jiang Country, Chu Canglan could be said to kill and kill, but he was the prince of the Western Jin Dynasty after all, and killing the court officials of other countries, even if it was not an official, it was also a big incident.
Of course, he couldn't easily believe Qi Xiaoran's words, but it was hard to guarantee that it wasn't true.
The Western Jin Dynasty has always been neutral, and if it is not necessary, it rarely involves the wars of various countries, and no matter whether Qi Xiaoran's identity is true or false, it must always be confirmed, and if it is killed at will, it will be a very troublesome thing.
Moreover, Jiang Guotian's secret agents are all over the world, which is a well-known thing, and it is precisely because of this that it seems that the intelligence ability of the Heavenly Council is so strong, and all countries are very clear that they have secret agents from other countries in their homes, but they are not in a rut.
Because I couldn't find out where those spies were.
In the end, Qi Xiaoran left the alley safely and hurried back to Jiang Guo.
Yang Qi looked at Chu Canglan with a little puzzlement and said, "Your Highness believes what he said?"
Chu Canglan threw the thunderbolt gun to the little guy, watched the little guy catch it in a panic, almost fell, shook his head, and said, "That kind of nonsense, how can I believe it." β
Yang Qi became more and more puzzled and said, "Then why did His Highness let him go?"
Chu Canglan chuckled and said: "According to Senior Sister Gu's temper, how can she easily get close to a strange man, even if she is not particularly smart, but she is not stupid, not to mention that it is the first time to go to Jiang Country, if someone really does wrong to her, she will not be able to cut off someone's head with a sword?"
"There are some things that she doesn't say in her mouth, but she has them in her heart, and it is so easy to coax her. β
"But this kind of thing can be investigated, I do have some believes, even if this is the Western Jin Dynasty, it is just that person's escape plan, but he can involve Senior Sister Gu and Mr. Seven of the Palace Sword Academy, how can there be some things in it. β
"Secondly, what I don't believe is that if he is really an agent of the Heavenly Council, how can he report his identity, if the mouth of the Heavenly Council's secret agents is so lax, how can the Heavenly Council monitor the ability of countries that day?"
"The so-called no malice, it is very clear that it will be found by the Dragon Roll Academy, and it is an extremely stupid statement, there are true and false in his words, but his identity, and the reason why he came to the Western Jin Dynasty to investigate Senior Sister Gu, must be false. β
Hearing this, Yang Qi frowned and said, "I still can't understand, since Your Highness knows this, why did you let that person leave safely, why not kill him directly? β
Chu Canglan patted him on the shoulder and said, "Although I don't believe that person's words, there are some things that have to be believed, the capital of Jiang Country is definitely not as calm as it seems, even His Majesty the Emperor of Jiang Country will not dispose of our students of the Dragon Scroll Academy of the Western Jin Dynasty at will, so Senior Sister Gu is very safe in Jiang Country, even if someone wants to deal with her, she will suffer at most a loss, and her life will not be in danger." β
"And that person can't be an agent of the Heavenly Council, and it doesn't mean that he is not a person from Jiang Guo's court. β
"Thinking about it, Senior Sister Gu is indeed a little close to Mr. Seven from the Palace Sword Academy, the other party is targeting Mr. Seven from the Palace Sword Academy, Senior Sister Gu is just incidental, the reason why they sent people to the Western Jin Dynasty to investigate is nothing more than to determine the identity of Senior Sister Gu, there is a Dragon Roll Academy in the Western Jin Dynasty, and Jiang Guo has a Pear Flower Academy, in the case of ensuring that Senior Sister Gu will not be in danger, why should I bother with Jiang Guo's affairs. β
Yang Qi's expression was a little ignorant, although he still didn't understand very much, but he looked at Chu Canglan with admiration, thinking that he was worthy of being the second prince.
Chu Canglan looked in the direction of Jiang Guo and said lightly: "Speaking of which, I am a little interested in Mr. Seven of the Sword Academy of the Palace. β
Yang Qi was silent.
If it is really as Qi Xiaoran said, Gu Shiyan and Li Mengzhou live under the same roof, according to their understanding of Gu Shiyan, it is a very incredible thing, if they are not familiar with each other, there must be other reasons.
But thinking that Gu Shiyan had never left the Western Jin Dynasty, and although her fiancΓ© didn't know who it was, he must be from the Jin Dynasty, how could she recognize Mr. Seven of Jiang Guo?
Could it be that Mr. Seven walked out from the Western Jin Dynasty?
......
......
Jiang Guo.
Dishui County, Baihong Town.
The leaves of many trees in the mountains have turned yellow and brown, and even the fallen leaves have fallen into Baihong Town, which is the end of autumn and the beginning of winter, and the weather is gradually becoming cold.
It has been a long time since Li Mengzhou followed Yue Congshuang to kill Bailichuan.
He has been staying in the dilapidated alley and practicing with the lonely mountain guest.
Because Xiao Zhinan is only one foot away from the threshold of the Five Realms, the rest can only rely on her own comprehension, and the lonely mountain guest only gives guidance, whether she can cross the threshold of the Five Realms can only rely on Xiao Zhinan herself, but it is obviously not an easy thing.
Li Mengzhou's cultivation has also made great progress, if it is purely on his own, let alone just an autumn, it will be difficult to cross the threshold of the small realm if he is given another winter, starting from the four realms, even if the qualifications are demonic characters, the progress of cultivation will be slow, although the qualifications of the demonic people are still making rapid progress compared with ordinary cultivators, but it is also difficult to break through the realm in a short period of time.
Li Mengzhou broke into the four realms in the summer, and now it is winter, and he is only one foot away from the top grade of the four realms.
Compared with Xiao Zhinan's kick at the door, his kick is of course much simpler and easier.
But it's only relatively speaking, and I still want an opportunity.
Although Li Mengzhou had 'robbed the rich and helped the poor' before, he also needed to spend money in the days when he lived in the dilapidated alley, and he couldn't use up the road expenses anymore, and he had to continue to 'rob the rich and help the poor', Li Mengzhou was no longer very enthusiastic about this.
As the wealthy merchants in Baihong Town who got the Tao family winery business gradually turned around, they all returned to the original situation, and the richest man in Baihong Town also re-involved in the tea business.
What Li Mengzhou didn't expect was that the Tong family, with the efforts of the Tong Lu sisters and brothers, resisted the oppression of the Ma family, although they gave up a lot of benefits, but at least they kept the Tong family, and there was still hope for a comeback.
Tong Lu has some talent for business, because he has a father before, he is also young, and he has a sister to help take care of the family business, he doesn't have to care about anything, but when he really needs to do it, he also shows a very unusual ability.
The matter of giving profits to the Ma family was also from Tong Lu's idea, and Tong Xin originally disagreed.
But in Tong Lu's view, instead of being tough with the Ma family and finally cornering the Tong family, it is better to cooperate with the Ma family to achieve a win-win situation, even though the Tong family will be in the stage of being suppressed for the time being, but as long as they regain their foothold, they dare not say that they will fight in the ring with the Ma family, but at least they can be stronger than the Tong family in the past.
The road has to be walked step by step, Tong Lu obviously has a lot of ideas in his heart, and it takes time to realize them one by one.
Li Mengzhou wanted to go over to find Tong Lu, but he was also unknown, because although Tong Lu rarely came to Broken Alley again, the tea of the lonely mountain guest was delivered every month, because it was too embarrassing to go to the Tong family to pay money for daily expenses.
So, in the process of practicing, Li Mengzhou and Xiao Zhinan were also busy making a living in Baihong Town, although most of them were Li Mengzhou busy, Xiao Zhinan just watched.
And one evening, Li Mengzhou came to Zhao Sandao's blacksmith shop alone.
Although it took a little longer, Isanzo's knife was also forged.
After all, the matter of forging a knife has something to do with him, so naturally there is a reason to come to observe, and it is also Jing Sansan who asked him to meet, thinking that he wants to try the knife.
In the shop, Zhao Sandao sat on the wooden chair with a slightly depressed expression, looking at the young man playing with the knife in front of him, although he wanted to take a sip, but for the sake of his life, he still endured it.
The old man in the green robe was nibbling on a chicken, his hands were greasy, and he was drinking wine, and he lived quite comfortably.
Naturally, he didn't have any silver, and he didn't plan to give silver for the forging knife, so he had to eat Zhao Sandao's and drink Zhao Sandao's.
If Zhao Sandao can still have a good face, then he will see the hell.
What's more, urging the aura of heaven and earth to forge the treasure knife is also an extremely laborious thing in itself, if you are not careful, you may die in Huangquan, Zhao Sandao at this time is really tired, and he doesn't even have the strength to move a finger.
But the old man in the green robe and Jing Sansan are not pure to eat and drink for nothing, there are occasionally martial artists who come to forge knives in Baihong Town who try not to give silver, and they are all beaten by Jing Sansan, and by the way, they also earn a little, at least the former Zhao Sandao is just a little famous, but now they all know that they can't mess with Zhao Sandao, otherwise they will lose a lot of money if they are beaten, and they will lose their lives.
And during this period, the three grandmasters of the Grandmaster Alliance came again, and they did not give up the idea of taking Zhao Sandao to Fengjiang after all, and Zhao Sandao also agreed, after all, who doesn't want to be famous and not worry about eating and drinking.
He is just a stranger, not a cultivator, to be able to become a guest of the Fengjiang Grandmaster Alliance, it can be regarded as the peak of life, what else can you ask for?
Zhao Sandao had already decided, and after helping Jing Sansan forge the knife, he followed Sect Master Mao and them to Fengjiang.
And Sect Master Mao, Sect Master Huang, and Sect Master Ouyang arrived here one step ahead of Li Mengzhou.
Deeply aware of the identity of the old man in the green robe and the cultivator of Jing Sansan, even if it is just a mountain and field monk, but if he is strong enough, he can also be respected, although Grandmaster Ouyang's face is not very good-looking, but Grandmaster Mao is worthy of being a veteran grandmaster after all, and he says a set of words, even if they are all polite words, but at least he will not stiffen the relationship.
When Li Mengzhou came over slowly, the young people who came with the three grandmasters had already helped Zhao Sandao pack his bags, and there was a carriage parked outside the shop, except for some things that Zhao Sandao was reluctant to lose, there were not too many things to pack, there was everything in the Grandmaster Alliance, but it was much stronger than Zhao Sandao's tattered things.
