With the five chiefs of the Wushan Sword Society, Xia Yuntian's journey to Beijing after going north can be described as calm.

The fifteen-day voyage in the canal is coming to an end.

This time is very precious to Xia Yan.

He knew that when the school palace was finished, he should not be in the secular world, and there were few opportunities to be filial piety in front of his knees.

Being able to accompany my father for such a period of time now is a blessing that I missed in my previous life and regained in this life.

And if the father and son are alone, then according to the temper of the father and son, it will be okay for a day or two, and then they will have to be pinched.

With such a temperament, no one has recruited anyone, otherwise there would have been no trouble in the previous life.

Fortunately, this road is not a father and son alone, surrounded by a vote of people.

In front of outsiders, the old man was still relatively restrained towards his son, and basically stopped doing it, scolding a few words at most.

In the afternoon of this day, the ship had entered the boundary of the Jingshi territory, and the soldiers in charge of defense were replaced by people from the Jingzhao Mansion.

Early tomorrow morning, the group will be able to arrive at the Caoyun Wharf in Beijing.

At this point in time, Xia Yan knew in his heart that there should be nothing to do after that.

This kind of thing is okay at the local level, but if you really dare to do it in Beijing, it will be tantamount to flapping the table and rebelling.

I don't dare to forgive each other.

And it is actually inconvenient for his own group to follow him to the capital.

After all, the father's charges have not yet been determined, and his son is pending trial.

Others are even more guilty of showing up in Beijing, so as not to be implicated.

Therefore, Xia Yan decided to take people out of the canal channel tonight and return to the Ten Thousand Swords Academy.

And before that, he had to meet someone.

After the previous ship sank, the government sent a new one.

The new ship is a little smaller than the previous one, but there is a slight advantage that there is a galley in the aft cabin.

The kitchen is replenished every two days, and the ingredients that just came in this morning are quite fresh.

Xia Yan cooked it himself, stir-fried the two and made four side dishes with wine.

Then put it in a food box, brought a pot of Huadiao wine, and went ashore alone.

Wave your hand to let the boat go first, and wait for someone on the shore.

In the wilderness, on the bank of the canal, Xia Yan found a fairly smooth stone.

Take out the layers of side dishes in the food box and set them up, fill the two glasses of wine, and put the chopsticks on the shelf.

Then he sat and waited.

learned the identity of the secret stake guard from Chen Wenbing's mouth, and then witnessed a tower rising to the sky on the mound, and then it was safe to go to the border of the capital on the 15th.

Xia Yan knew in his heart that although his reputation was not small, and his strength on paper was not weak, he was actually making a head by the old man's side.

The one who really contributed was this hidden stake guard.

Xia Yan kept this favor in his heart, and he also highly recognized the ability of this Chief Li.

But at the same time, this person is not related to him, why would he protect the old man all the way?

It is important to find out who he is entrusted with and with whom he is hostile.

So a pot of wine by the river waited for the guests to come.

When the boat sailed away, the figure in front of him flickered, and a tall young man was already sitting opposite.

North Kunlun Li Juling.

Xia Yan smiled slightly, raised his glass and said, "Brother Li, this trip is hard, I will give you a drink." ”

Li Juling raised his eyes and looked at Xia Yan, and instead of touching the wine glass in front of him, he asked, "The chief of the new Wushan Sword Society, the acquired mutant sword species, Xia Yan?" ”

Xia Yan put down his wine glass and clenched his fists: "It's just below." ”

"Have you gotten the qualification to be escorted by the Xue Gong Lun Sword?" Li Juling asked again.

"Not bad."

"Although your realm is not enough now, your brain still seems to be relatively clear, and it is more reliable than that county lord and little Taoist." Li Juling nodded, "When I go back to the Great Discussion Sword, I should be able to help." ”

Li Juling's words made Xia Yan foggy.

He didn't know much about the sword so far, but he knew that there was such a top-level event.

But he didn't know what the rules were, what the rules were, and how they compared.

Now that Li Juling has said this, Xia Yan was about to take the opportunity to ask, but he didn't expect that the person opposite had already changed the topic:

"You seem to be very close to Nan Yujian for a few days?"

Xia Yan just raised the wine glass, put it down again, looked up and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"North Kunlun and South Edgeworth." Li Juling paused as he spoke, then narrowed his eyes and asked rhetorically, "What do you say?" ”

"But I'm on Tu Su's side, and I haven't heard of Brother Li's deeds." Xia Yan said calmly.

Li Juling was stunned, his face seemed to be a little embarrassed, and said, "She doesn't know." ”

"Oh." Xia Yan nodded, understood, and then raised the wine glass, "Come, Brother Li, I respect you." ”

"Go, go, go." Li Juling waved his hand, looking a little depressed, "I also miscalculated, I thought that she stood out from the crowd on the South Campus, and no one should dare to pursue her." I can wait until after the big sword ......."

Speaking of this, Li Juling seemed to be a little irritable, and waved his hand: "Don't say it, don't say it." ”

The giant man picked up the glass in front of him and drank it down.

Xia Yan hurriedly poured him wine.

After drinking a glass of wine, Li Juling looked at Xia Yan and asked depressedly, "Where did you kid come from?" ”

"Mother raised it by my father." Xia Yan smiled: "If there is anything wrong, it is only due to fate, and it is definitely not intentional." ”

Li Juling glared at Xia Yan: "Hypocritical." ”

Xia Yan waved his hand, raised his glass and said, "Come, do it." ”

"Hmph." Li Juling snorted coldly, picked up the wine glass and drank it again.

Xia Yan filled him up again.

The two cups of flowers fell into the stomach, and Xia Yan saw it.

Li Juling's alcohol consumption should be about the same as Chen Wenbing's, which is slightly stronger than alcohol allergy.

After two glasses of wine, the man's face was already red, and his voice was much louder:

"Since you're already the first to get there, I can't help it."

"She was born with a hard life, you must be good to her!"

"If you dare to treat her badly, I, Li Juling, will definitely take your dog's life!"

When Xia Yan heard this, he hurriedly waved his hand: "Brother Li, you wait a while." ”

"How?" Li Juling's eyes widened, "Not convinced?" ”

"Convincing, especially convincing." Xia Yan nodded, and then asked, "It's just that I don't know something, and I ask Brother Li for advice." ”

"Say!"

"Are we talking about the same person?"

Li Juling frowned: "Why isn't it the same person?" ”

"Nan Imperial Sword, Tu Su." Xia Yan said, "The pearl of the Jinzhong Butcher's palm, the family is rich enough to rival the country.

The innate mutant sword species sword spirit broke through the innate realm at the age of fifteen, and the future of cultivation is limitless.

Such a person, she was born with a hard life? ”

"Huh?" Li Juling's brows furrowed, "You don't know? ”

"What's the matter?" Xia Yan asked.

Li Juling was stunned, and then shook his head: "Since she didn't tell you, then I can't say it." ”

"Okay, I'll ask her when I get back." Xia Yan didn't ask.

As a result, Li Juling became energetic and said loudly: "If you kid knows about that and dares to abandon her, then I, Li Juling, will definitely take your dog's life!" ”

"Okay, okay, Brother Li, please rest assured, you can't take it." Xia Yan waved his hand and said in a deep voice, "Brother Li, let's talk about business?" ”

Li Juling rolled his eyes: "Are you really stupid or fake, I have been with you for a long time, I just don't want to get down to business." ”

"But Brother Li escorted my father for 3,000 miles, I have to know, who should I thank in the end, right?" Xia Yan asked.

"I don't need you to thank you, the person who entrusted this matter to me is not for the love of your Xia family, but for the justice of the court." Li Juling shook his head, "Otherwise, he won't please move me Li Juling." ”

"I think you have to move." Xia Yan said with a smile, "Master Li Lu Li, he is Brother Li's cousin, the elders have a life, how dare we who are juniors?" ”

Li Juling looked stunned, the corners of his mouth twitched, and then asked, "Did that guy Gu Zhantang tell you?" ”

"Hmm." Xia Yan nodded.

"This guy actually dares to betray his customers, and he doesn't want to do business in the future?" Li Juling complained.

"He said he didn't want to do it anymore." Xia Yan pointed to himself, "In the future, I will become my personal bodyguard, and then I don't have to pay, just take care of food and housing." ”

Li Juling shook his head: "This Gu madman is inexplicable. ”

Xia Yan said: "Then since I already know who is protecting the Xia family, can Brother Li reveal to me who is harming our Xia family?" ”

Li Juling thought for a moment, nodded and said, "If the sword species has not mutated, or the previous waste, then it doesn't matter if you know about it, and I don't bother to tell you."

But with your current climate, we will inevitably have to deal with each other in the future.

Especially with the sword, I have to count on you, a teammate, not to drag your feet too much.

So I'll sell you this favor, and you'll listen to it. ”

Xia Yan nodded: "Listen to me." ”

Li Juling said: "The weapon forging technology mastered by your Xia family should be the important weapon of the country.

It's just that now the saint is young, and the vassal kings in various places have ghosts in their hearts, and the situation is turbulent.

Under the competition of many parties, this matter of your Xia family has not been able to land, and it is just hanging in the air.

You ask who wants to harm your Xia family, that's too much.

Because since you can't get it, you can simply destroy it, so that others can't get it.

Along the way, I have killed hundreds of Assassins.

I can't know where they came from, but I'm sure it's not a single patron deal, but a lot of patrons, all of whom are your dad.

Among them, the strongest assassin appeared in Sanjiangkou.

Jia Xiantu, Jing Feibai, Qian Phoenix.

And with the level of these three people, they can be emotionally moved at the same time, and there is only one person in this Yuqing Dynasty. ”

"Who?" Xia Yan asked.

"King of the Western Regions, Jiang Yuquan." Li Juling smiled slightly, "That is, the father of Jiang Yuan, the daughter of the Western Prince." ”

Xia Yan sighed and nodded.

"You seem to be very close to Jiang Yuan now." Li Juling's face sank, "Let me tell you, men should be single-minded towards women, and I don't like things like three wives and four concubines."

Since you are with Tu Su, then you should be together.

If you dare to be half-hearted......"

"You take my dog's life." Xia Yan said directly, and then waved his hand, "Let's get down to business, don't interrupt." ”

Li Juling coughed and said, "But even if it is the king of the Western Regions, he can only invite Jing Feibai and Qian Fenghuang, and people like Jia Xiantu may not be able to move." ”

"Oh?" Xia Yan frowned.

"Jia Xiantu is not from the Yuqing Dynasty, but from the Northern Daliang Empire. Li Juling said, "So I judge that it is not only the Yuqing Dynasty that will harm your Xia family, but also foreign forces. ”

"Hmm." Xia Yan nodded, "The important weapon of the country, this is expected. ”

"Xia Yan, I don't know something." Li Juling said.

"Please."

"Actually, as long as your father announces the forging technique, your Xia family will naturally be safe." Li Juling asked, "He kept it secret before, it was understandable, this is your Xia family's trade secret, and it is related to the profit of buying and selling."

But now that the whole family has to be beheaded, what's the use of asking for money?

Why don't you announce the technology to keep your Xia family safe? ”

Xia Yan shook his head: "I don't know, my father is stubborn." ”

"It is said that knowing a father is better than a son, but I think you father and son don't seem to be this way." Li Juling shook his head, "It's about so many lives in the family, it's not something that can be explained by stubbornness, if you really don't know the reason, it's better to ask clearly." ”

Xia Yan raised his glass and said, "Thank you for the reminder." ”
