Dining in the morning, there are a lot of empty seats in the Chunxiang Hall in the morning, no need to ask if it must be those who attacked Li Jian last night, most of them were injured by Lu Pingchuan, and mainly on the face, just after a night, even if they each brought the healing elixir, how could the bruising and blood stasis on the face subside cleanly, so those who had been beaten felt that they had no face to go to the Chunxiang Hall to eat, firstly, they were afraid of being embarrassed, and secondly, they were afraid of meeting Lu Pingchuan.

However, Qin Suiyu came, walked into the Chunxiang Hall steadily, and passed by the food table of Qian Chao and a few people casually, even if he saw Li Jian and Qian Chao and the other four people sitting together, he didn't care, and he found a food table and sat down.

Qian Chao also saw Wei Wei, eating carelessly behind a food table not far away, and on either side of him were the Wu sisters that Tang Ping said. Looking at the Wu sisters, they were indeed charming and beautiful, but Qian Chao was wondering which of the sisters he heard talking to Qin Suiyu that night.

After breakfast, the five of them began to practice together, and naturally they went to the place of spiritual veins.

Li Jian's eyes were fine at this time, but there was still a little red thread in the whites of his eyes. It was the first time he had come here to practice, and Qian Chao had told him about the wonderful use of this place.

Li Jian also saw the spiritual vein in the "Five Spiritual Notes", but after all, he just looked at it as a novelty, but he didn't expect Qian Chao to say that there was a spiritual vein here, and he was even more suspicious of the benefits of the spiritual vein. After Qian Chao's instructions, he sat down cross-legged and began to practice, as soon as the aura ran in the body, Li Jian immediately realized the benefits of this spiritual vein for cultivation, while experiencing the spiritual energy operation that was much stronger than in the past, Li Jian secretly said that this Qian Chao gathered five people It seems that it is really ready to enter the inner gate in the future, and the speed of cultivation in this spiritual vein is much faster than that of other places, and it seems that there is no suspense in practicing here for a few months, and entering the inner gate seems to be a matter of no suspense.

At lunchtime, there were still a lot of empty food tables in the Spring Ringing Hall, and a few people didn't care, but when they were eating, Qian Chao happened to see Liang Baike eating opposite, and Liang Baike also noticed Qian Chao and nodded slightly to say hello to him.

Speaking of this Liang Baike, Qian Chao dealt with him again in this valley, but that time it was to help him out of the siege.

Some time ago, Qian Chao had not invited Tang Ping to practice together in the spiritual vein, and he bumped into Liang Baike in the valley who was being beaten by several tall teenagers, and he felt a little unbearable, so he begged Lu Pingchuan to help, then Lu Pingchuan was naturally willing to do this, and under a punch and kick, those boys were beaten and couldn't move.

Later, Qian Chao learned from Liang Baike that it was Qin Suizhi who instructed these people to come.

That Qin Suixu ignored Liang Baike anymore, hated him in his heart, and personally came to talk about Liang Baike, but he returned in vain, and then let people be rude.

This Liang Baike has also become a tough person at this time, and he would rather be beaten than mix with Qin Suiyi anymore, so there are often people looking for trouble with him, and they are very heavy.

That encounter with Qian Chao and Lu Pingchuan helped him out of the siege, and no one came to trouble him after that.

Tang Ping saw that Qian Chao had paid attention to the Wu sisters who were with Wei Feng during breakfast and lunch, so he asked Qian Chao after lunch if he knew which one was the one who spoke to Qin Suixu.

"How do I know this, I only remember the voice, but I have never seen these two women speak, and I didn't see the appearance at that time." Qian Chao replied.

Tang Ping nodded and told Qian Chao that the elder sister of the Wu sisters was called Wu Ruishan, and the younger sister was called Wu Ruiyuan, if Qian Chao was willing, she could go to the two sisters to talk.

Qian Chao looked at Qin Suixu, who was leisurely walking out of lunch from Chunxiang Hall, and said that it was best not to do this, then Qin Suixu would be suspicious if he saw it.

In the afternoon, several people were still practicing together, but they were worried about whether there would be any harvest in the forest, so after Lu Pingchuan practiced for a while, he said that he would invite Brother Li Jian to try his craft today, and then ran into the forest in a hurry. When everyone saw this, they could only rely on him.

As the twilight approached, a bonfire was burning in the glade, and everyone was holding a branch with pheasants and hares on it. Tang Ping saw that the five people Qian Chao wanted were ready, and it was the first meal after everyone had made it up, so he also took out the wine and invited everyone to drink it together.

Li Jian didn't expect that they were practicing in the valley together, and the other disciples in the valley were either practicing hard or fighting restlessly, but they didn't expect that these people would be a happy day with both wine and food, and he couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

Lu Pingchuan saw that Li Jian's barbecue skills were not bad at all, and he couldn't help but wonder: "Brother Li, your barbecue skills are good, did you hunt often before?" ”

Li Jian smiled and said: "Where, I grew up in the army since I was a child, and when I was marching in the field, the meat was naturally roasted, but it was more when I roasted dry food." ”

Tang Ping heard Li Jian say that he had grown up in the army since he was a child, so he remembered what Qian Chao had said about Li Jian, so he asked: "Brother Li, Qian Chao told us about you before, and he said at that time that you must have been born in Jiangmen, and what you experienced when you were selected must have been extraordinary, is he right?" ”

"Oh?" Li Jian listened and looked at the tide of money on the other side of the fire.

Qian Chao smiled and said: "When Brother Li entered the bronze carriage at that time, I saw that Brother Li's spirit and pace seemed to be born in the army. However, at that time, I always felt that Brother Li had a bloody aura lingering in his body, and Brother Li was born in Jiangmen, and there was a bloody aura on his body, so he must have had an extraordinary experience before boarding the car. ”

Li Jian nodded and said, "Brother Qian has good eyesight," and then continued a little gloomily, "Yes, before the first election, my grandfather led the army, and my Li family guarded the city for three generations to defend against strong enemies. On the top of Naluojing City, bloody battles, the most dangerous time, more than half of the soldiers were killed and wounded, my second uncle was seriously injured and unconscious as a general, my grandfather was also the commander of the city, but he was still fighting with a sword at the head of the city to kill the enemy, the enemy army continued to attack the city wall, I and the soldiers together desperately wanted to kill them back, rough calculation, in that Luojing City died under my sword, it should be above a hundred people, so Brother Qian saw that the bloody aura on my body lingered, right? ”

The other four were stunned when they heard this, and they couldn't help but nod when they heard Li Jian say this.

Tang Ping had thought that this Li Jian's background must be extraordinary, but he never thought that he had experienced such a dangerous battle array, and the teenagers had already started killing on the battlefield, and it was rare that he could still say it so plainly now, which shows that his mind and heart are really stronger than everyone in the valley. No wonder those children of the family are either coerced or co-opted, in the eyes of Li Jian, they are like jokes, and Tang Ping can't help but be even more impressed by this Li Jian, but how did this money boy see the bloody aura on Li Jian's body, and why can't he see it?

After Yan Xuan heard this, she saw that Li Jian's facial features, which were not very outstanding, had gradually become heroic, and she secretly said that they were all the same age, but she didn't expect this Li Jian to be so extraordinary, and she couldn't help but be stunned.

When Qian Chao heard this, he smiled, and secretly said that Brother Li's experience was indeed not far from what he expected.

Only Lu Pingchuan was very happy after hearing this, he felt that this Li Jian was getting closer and closer at this time, so he picked up his wine cup and said, "I didn't expect Brother Li to be a brave young general, come!" A toast to you! ”

When they saw it, they all raised their own wine and drank together.

"Brother Li," it was Yan Xuan who spoke, and she was still worried about what Li Jian said about defending the city, "Then what about later, did you defend the city later?" ”

Li Jian listened to the stunned distraction, what Yan Xuan asked, it was also what he was worried about in his heart, when he first arrived in this valley, how many times did he not sleep at night, he was full of concern about his two dear elders in Luojing City, the soldiers were in danger, are they okay? How many times in the midnight nightmare he saw that the blazing Luojing City was finally broken by the Jin army, and behind the surging Jin army like a black tide, he could vaguely see the old figure with white hair at the head of Luojing City.

In the end, Li Jian sighed and said, "Well, I don't know about this, I also want to know!" ”

"Oh, how could Brother Li not know?" Yan Xuan said curiously.

"At that time, we had a bloody battle at the head of the city, my second uncle led the cavalry out of the city to kill the enemy, among the ten thousand troops, my second uncle shot an arrow from the enemy's main general, and he also lost too much blood due to serious injuries and almost couldn't come back. They all thought that the enemy's main general would be shot to death, and the enemy would retreat, but the arrow only wounded the opponent's main general.

At that time, it was the critical moment of the siege, and the enemy commander was later wounded and commanded, and the enemy army went crazy to send the whole army to launch the final blow to the city of Luojing that we were defending. When my grandfather saw that more than half of the soldiers in the city had been lost, and that the rest were all wounded and exhausted, he knew that the city could not be defended any longer, so he had the intention of martyrdom.

He ordered me to flee back to the capital with the unconscious second uncle, and he wanted to take the remaining soldiers to continue to defend the city.

At this moment, the senior Tang who presided over the first election arrived, and at the critical moment, the senior Tang used his means to stop the last battle between the two armies. At that time, I was deeply shocked that hundreds of thousands of red-eyed soldiers in the city and under the city actually knelt down in unison on the battlefield like a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, trembling, and did not dare to move.

It was at that time that I learned that there were really immortals in the world, and then it was my grandfather who took me to meet Tang seniors to participate in the first election, and then came here, so how about Luojingcheng, how about my grandfather and my second uncle, I ...... Hey! I really don't know! ”

"That's the case," Yan Xuan sighed with emotion after hearing this, she was simple-minded, and when she heard Li Jian's words full of concern for her own parents, she said again, "That's ...... Why didn't you quit before? Wouldn't that be ......?"

"Retirement?" Li Jian smiled when he heard this, and said, "My Li family has been a general for generations, guarding the land for the Liang State, and it has been like this since the beginning of the founding of the country. My grandfather ordered me to flee with my second uncle at that time, in order to reserve the seeds for the Li family, so that there would be a comeback in the future, when the homeland would be recovered. ”

Yan Xuan nodded when he heard this, but he also sighed for the Li family.

"Miss Tang," Li Jian turned his head to look at Tang Ping, "After arriving in this Youming Valley, I learned that Senior Tang was Miss Tang's elder. At the time of the first election, in order to understand our crisis, I also thought about using myself as a bargaining chip in exchange for the enemy army who retreated to the besieged city by Senior Tang, but Senior Tang naturally refused, speaking of which, I also had a grudge against him, don't blame this. However, when Senior Tang enlightened me at that time, he once said that I only saw them attacking the city and defending the city in front of me, but I couldn't see the things behind the offensive and defensive battles. He also said that half of our crisis at that time was caused by me, and Senior Tang had arrived a few days earlier than normal Jiaxuan to sabotage the plans of those people outside the city. Don't talk about these at the time, even now I can't figure it out, Senior Tang said that when I practice deeper, I will understand, since I have this opportunity today, Miss Tang, you are from a family, can you elaborate for me and solve the doubts in my heart? ”

Tang Ping nodded after hearing this, and said: "Naturally, Brother Li, let me ask you first, which country are you from, what is the surname of the lord, and which country is at war with you?" ”

"I was born in the Liang country, the lord of the country, and my surname is Fang. It is the Kingdom of Jin that attacks us, and it is adjacent to our Kingdom of Liang. Li Jian replied.

"Liang State, the lord of the country, Fang's family, the enemy country is the Jin country, well, it's a little impression, is the lord of the Jin country surnamed Qiu?" Tang Ping tilted her head and thought about it, then said.

"Yes, the monarch of the Jin Kingdom is indeed surnamed Qiu, and even the generals who led the army outside the city at that time were called Qiu Feng."

"That's right." Tang Ping nodded.

"Brother Li, if you weren't from the Liang Kingdom, I really can't remember. Well, it's a bit long to talk about, so I'm going to tell you about it in detail.

There are a total of six major sects in this world, the southernmost one of our Five Spirit Sects, and the other five are far away from us. However, these six major sects are also intriguing with each other like those families. ”

As soon as Li Jian heard Tang Ping's explanation to herself, she couldn't help but be a little surprised, how could a minor descendant of the Li family, a minor disciple of the Li family, still be involved in the affairs between these major sects, and couldn't help but listen more carefully.

The same is true for the rest of Qian Chao and Yan Xuan, only Lu Pingchuan listened while tearing off a piece of meat from the roasted pheasant and stuffing it into his mouth.

Tang Ping said: "Taking our Five Spirits Sect as an example, the Five Spirits Sect is recognized as the strongest sect in the south of Zhongzhou, and naturally has the strength to make those large and small sects and families near and far listen to their own dispatch. For these sects and families, they are attached to or serve the Five Spirits Sect, although there is some last resort, but the Five Spirits Sect can also give them a lot of tangible benefits. The land owned by these many sects and families is basically considered to belong to the Five Spirits Sect, and the sect will not directly interfere in the affairs of their sect or the family, but the disciples of the sect, such as us, will be able to walk freely in these places in the future. ”

Qian Chao interjected at this time and asked, "Places controlled by other sects, can't we go?" ”

"Of course," replied Tang Ping, "but it will be a little more troublesome and careful." No sect wants to see people from other sects wandering around on their territory, and if they find out, they will inevitably send someone to investigate, or even ...... So not only should you be cautious, but you should also mask your identity. ”

Qian Chao nodded after hearing this, and continued to listen to Tang Ping.

"Let's take the Tang family where I was born as an example, when it comes to the Tang family in the general cultivation world, it is called the Jinghai Tang family, in Fuquan Prefecture. This Silent Sea is the name of a country, and it is the Quiet Sea Country. The lord of Jinghai Kingdom is surnamed Tang. It can be said that Jinghai Kingdom is a country that is completely controlled by the Tang family itself. There are also people from the Tang family in the rest of the neighboring countries, and because the Tang family is powerful, they hold important positions in those neighboring countries. For those neighboring countries, the Tang family can influence, but cannot directly control, because their lord is not surnamed Tang. The land of this Jinghai Kingdom belongs to the Tang family, because the Tang family is attached to the Five Spirits Sect, so this land also belongs to the Five Spirits Sect, but there are very few people in the country who can know this except for the Tang family.

Brother Li was born in the Liang State, and the Fang family of the Liang State is the master, which means that the Liang State is controlled by a family with the surname Fang. And the lord of the Jin State is surnamed Qiu, and it is the family surnamed Qiu who controls the Jin State. ”

Speaking of this, Li Jian was very surprised when he heard this, and said: "I really didn't expect that the lord of our Liang Kingdom turned out to be a cultivator of a family!" ”

"No," Tang Ping corrected, "The surname of the lord of the Liang country is Fang, although the Fang family is a family, but the lord of the country will definitely not be a cultivator?" ”

"Oh, why is that?" Li Jian was puzzled.

"Brother Li, you are the rear of the gate, and you either read military books or practice martial arts on weekdays, will you pay attention to the trivial things of a few bundles of vegetables and a few cans of oil and salt in the kitchen?"

Li Jian shook his head when he heard this.

"You don't bother with these things, even within a family. There are two things that are most important to a family, one is the monk, which is the foundation of the family, without the support of the monk, there will be no family. The second is the land, which is the foundation of the family, not their own land, so in the future, if those places produce any rare treasures, spiritual herbs and elixirs, they will not be their own homes. But managing these lands and their populations is a tedious task, so where does the monk have the time to do it, and if so, where does he have the time to practice? Therefore, all these things of governing the country are done by people in the family who do not have spiritual roots and cannot practice, so that they can also enjoy prosperity and wealth, and the family can also use their energy on cultivation. ”

Li Jian understood and nodded.
