Lonely and boundless became famous forty years ago, with a sword and a lonely world, despising the heroic spirit of the people in the rivers and lakes. He is different from the "swordless old man" Qin Haotian, the "swordless old man" likes swords and hides swords, but he will never take them by force. And he is ruthless, creating the "Hidden End of the World" in Xiaogushan, collecting all the world's famous sword cheats, and privately thinking that no one in the rivers and lakes deserves it. Forty years ago, he was already a great grandmaster, until thirty years ago, it was rumored that he felt that this life was boring and solved it on his own, but he didn't expect to be out of the rivers and lakes again. Everyone was worried and moved.

Ayiyi didn't understand these rumors, she just stared at Li Chengtang silently on the side, and her bright eyes were worried about her brother Li. Ran Jingjing saw that Ran Fei was worried, and said with a smile: "What is Daddy afraid of, Childe's martial arts are so high, if you are afraid that Xiaogushan will embarrass the Ran family, we will ask Sone to come to our house as a guest." ”

Ran Fei reprimanded: "Jing'er is rude, my father is worried about Brother Li, and we meet Brother Li Pingshui, how can we let others stand up for us." ”

Ran Jingjing lowered her head and looked unhappy, lowered her head and muttered in a low voice, "Childe is powerful, and he is so chivalrous, he will definitely help." ”

Ran Jingjing first met Li Chengtang in Mogao Grottoes, when Li Chengtang was baptized by the desert sun, his complexion was dark, and his clothes were simple, that is, an ordinary young man. Ran Jingjing didn't look at it, and she has never been very interested in rivers and lakes and martial arts, but after a battle with the Turks and two rescues, plus now Li Chengtang is dressed in clothes and handsome, and her heart is tied to Li Chengtang like a thousand threads.

She raised her head, stared at Li Chengtang and whispered: "And my daughter's martial arts are low, so I can ask my son for advice every day." After speaking, he looked at Li Chengtang with an expectant face.

Ran Fei was about to speak, Li Chengtang remembered what he had planned before, and said with a smile: "Li Chengtang thank you seniors for your concern, the so-called soldiers will block, water will cover the earth, and they are not afraid to fall, let them come!" Li Chengtang's next step is just to go to Henan Road, if Ran is not afraid of being disturbed, he can go together. ”

Hearing this, Ran Jingjing's heart was like a deer, and her face was full of joy.

At this time, Liu Jinghao suddenly said: "Old man Qin, I heard that Pei Min, the envoy of Henan Daozhou, is your disciple, I don't know if it's true or not?" He was named the 'Sword Master' by our dynasty. ”

Qin Haotian smiled and said, "Well, he is the only disciple I have become a general. Qin Haotian was originally a straightforward person, thinking of this, he said loudly: "That's it, I haven't seen that unsuccessful disciple for a long time, so I will also go to Henan Road with you, and by the way, see which turtle sons dare to risk skin on the rivers and lakes." ”

Ran Fei was secretly happy, he knew that as soon as the news of the Ran family's "Flying Sword Decision" came out, it would not be peaceful. In this way, with the two great masters accompanying him, no matter how powerful the masters of the rivers and lakes are along the way, everything can be guaranteed, and the harassment of Xiaogushan will not be afraid. He believed that this would be good for Li Chengtang and the Ran family.

Of course, the two grandmasters can come to the Ran family as guests, and the improvement of the Ran family's status in the martial arts is what Ran Fei hopes to see.

Everyone discussed and agreed on this, and they went to Henan Road together after the matter.

Three days have passed, Qin Haotian, Ran Fei and other injuries have improved, although the lost true qi has not fully recovered, but as long as the external injuries are not a big move, there will be no more risk of bursting.

In the past three days, Li Chengtang took the initiative to visit everyone present. Meng Lang's injuries are still relatively serious, he has a lot of spear and spear piercing wounds, and he still needs to recover slowly, but walking is no longer a problem.

In the past three days, Ran Jingjing has also gone to see Meng Lang twice. Ran Jingjing and him have been childhood sweethearts since childhood, and they have a deep relationship. Meng Lang secretly has feelings for Ran Jingjing, although he has a bold temperament Meng Lang, but he is delicate to Ran Jingjing, obedient to his words, and cared for. Before coming to Dunhuang this time, his master had arranged for him to go to Chang'an with his master, but he chose to come to Dunhuang with his uncle. The implication is self-evident.

However, since Ran Jingjing fought with the Turks, she only came to see him twice, and she was obviously alienated from him, so he was very melancholy at the moment, and there was a lot of hostility towards Li Chengtang between words.

Li Chengtang was puzzled after visiting Meng Lang, sat in the tent for a while, and was about to go to Ran Jingjing to ask the reason, but saw Liu Jinghao and a middle-aged Confucian general walking in together, Li Chengtang knew that it was General Liu Mu, and was busy at the door to greet him.

After the middle-aged Confucian general entered the account, he said respectfully: "Liu Mu has seen Rengong!" ”

Li Chengtang hurriedly held his hands and said: "How dare Li Chengtang be worshiped by the old general, I heard General Liu Xiao say that the old general came from Liangzhou, all the way, so anxious to see him, I don't know what the so-called thing is?" ”

Liu Mu insisted on bowing, and after seeing the etiquette, he said: "Liu Mu belongs to the old sect master, and he is the head of the military gate of the procuratorate, how can he not worship." ”

Liu Jinghao also came over to salute again, and said respectfully: "Liu Jinghao has seen the little sect master!" ”

Li Chengtang was stunned, he knew about the Li family sect in Lingnan. Since the ancestor Emperor Yao Chan, in order to protect the unification of China, and at the same time, in order to prevent themselves from competing for the throne, only the eldest son of the descendant is allowed to enter the world to practice, and at the same time, there is a procuratorate for the eldest son to order, in order to supervise the world and communicate inside and outside. According to the eleven sages of Emperor Yao, the procuratorate is divided into 11 gates, with the three gates of heaven, earth and man as the general constitution, and eight gates including agriculture, commerce, scholars, scholars and soldiers. The three gates of heaven, earth and man are respectively the calculation of the time of the heavens, the arrangement of the geographical advantage, and the access of distinguishing people, and there are three gate lords who govern it.

Li Chengtang was required to be familiar with the rules and settings of the sect since he was a child, but he didn't know much about how many people there were in the procuratorate and where they were there. Now that he suddenly knew that the two of them were from the Procuratorate, he was not stunned.

Li Chengtang calmly accepted the gift of the sect and returned the gift to the two again. asked: "The general seems to have known that Cheng Tang was here, but the general arranged it before?" ”

Liu Mu was puzzled when he heard this: "Signal? I don't know. ”

The Lingnan Li clan was originally the descendant of the three emperors and five emperors in ancient times, and the eleven sect leaders inherited by the eleven sages.

"But the little sect master can ask the big sect, he should know that it is also the will of the big sect to see you this time."

As soon as Liu Mu finished speaking, he saw another person come in at the door, it was a fat old man with a radiant spirit, like a rich man, around sixty years old, his hair was well preserved, but his beard was gray, and he walked in a tiger's step, and his kindness revealed majesty.

Li Chengtang suddenly saw him and shouted happily: "Old Grandpa Xu!" Then he paused and said, "You... Why did your old man get here? ”

This fat old man surnamed Xu is the person who has been talking to Li Chengtang the most among the several old people who have been following his grandfather. When he was on Xingchen Island, he often told Li Chengtang some stories outside the island. I didn't expect him to come here, and he met him in other places, which was very kind.

The fat old man's name is Xu Shengcheng, and Li Chengtang has a little love for him, so he often calls him Lao Xu. Lao Xu is one of the three major sects of heaven, earth and people in the Procuratorate.

Lao Xu saw Li Chengtang, and his face smiled like a flower, "Little Sect Master, can you have fun on this trip to the rivers and lakes?" ”

Li Chengtang pursed his lips, "What's happy, it turns out that this is the rivers and lakes you often tell me!" It's not as simple as when you were on Star Island, but it's okay, it's better to read thousands of books than to travel thousands of miles. ”

"Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, people's hearts are complicated, of course the rivers and lakes are also complicated, the small sect mainly learns to adapt, I'm afraid you can't cope with it, I came this time to give you a face-to-face lecture."

The fat old man took out a token from his arms and handed it to Li Chengtang, "This is handed over to you by the old sect master, remember to put it away, it will be useful all the way, the people in the procuratorate will recognize it, and the emperor will sell you some face when he sees it!" ”

Li Chengtang took it over and checked it, and saw a golden dragon engraved on one side, with a line of ancient seal characters on it, and three words engraved on the other side, "Procuratorate". He didn't know what it would be of use in the future, so since his grandfather ordered him, he carefully put it in his arms and put it away. Then he asked who sent the message to let him go to Ran's house.

I saw Lao Xu Tou say to the door, "Come in, come in and meet the little sect master!" Seeing a person walk in at the door, Li Chengtang looked fixedly, and it turned out to be Shangguan Chi, the doorman of the Ran family who used a knife.

Shangguan Chi came in and bowed respectfully: "Shangguan Chi, a subordinate of the Shimen, greets the little sect master. ”

Li Chengtang was surprised and asked Lao Xu: "Grandpa Xu, why does the Ran family also have people from the procuratorate?" ”

The fat old man said with a smile: "But all the martial arts families on the rivers and lakes basically have spies planted by the Inspector Academician, and the setting of the Shimen is to supervise the families of the rivers and lakes, which is not surprising." ”

Li Chengtang suddenly understood that he had been under his grandfather's surveillance all along, and all this seemed to have been arranged. No wonder Qin Haotian happened to meet him in Shudi, no wonder he met the Ran family in Dunhuang, no wonder someone would pass the news to him, and no wonder Liu Jinghao would say good things for Shangguan Chi at the beginning, and he understood why Liu Jinghao deliberately mentioned the sword saint Pei Min at that time. It turns out that there is an intrinsic connection between them.

Li Chengtang couldn't help but be a little annoyed, he was originally a kind and tolerant person, but often this kind of person is easier to admit death, and he can't pull back the things he believes, and his personality is stubborn.

This feeling of being arranged is very unpleasant, which makes him feel that his experience in the rivers and lakes has become a joke.

Everyone greeted each other again, and Xu Sheng, a major sect, became everyone who analyzed the form of the world.

At present, the Tang Dynasty is unstable and the military situation is unknown. An Lushan and Shi Siming support the army and respect themselves, and have secretly communicated with the Turks and Tuyuhun, and the Turkic and other multi-way troops invaded the border of the Tang Dynasty, in fact, it was arranged by An Lushan, and the purpose of An Lushan was to blackmail the imperial court, so as to ask the imperial court for soldiers, horses, grain, grass and territory. And this is also the reason why Liu Jinghao was late in the rescue at the beginning, and the enemy was not chased, the Turks had no plans for a decisive battle, and it was useless to chase. Moreover, according to the secret report, there is a more powerful force in the rivers and lakes hidden behind An Lushan, and martial arts cultivation should not be underestimated, and everything should be done carefully. An Lushan, Shi Siming and others already have the potential to fight against the Tang Dynasty. However, the soldiers and horses in Ganliang Erzhou, Shuofang, Huaiyuan, Henan Daozhou and other places in Hexi are in their own ways, and it is difficult to listen to orders, and the form is like a plate of scattered sand, and the Tang Dynasty is in danger. The old sect master hoped to use Li Chengtang's trip to the rivers and lakes to reach an agreement with the military and the forces in the rivers and lakes so that they could be used in the future.

After listening to Xu Shengcheng's analysis, Li Chengtang smiled and said: "It turns out that grandpa has already arranged it, but Chengtang doesn't know how to contact these people, so he can only act cheaply, but even so, Chengtang still hopes that the procuratorate will not interfere in my rivers and lakes again, and we still don't know each other!" ”

"Li Chengtang will act according to his own thoughts, and I will explain the situation to my grandfather in the future!" Li Chengtang said in an accentuated tone to everyone present.

Everyone looked at each other, I don't know why he suddenly said this, Xu Shengcheng said: "The little sect master is related to the Lingnan lineage, the overall situation of the world, there must be no mistakes, so the old sect master arranged everything properly, the little sect master should not be misunderstood!" ”

Li Chengtang was slightly annoyed and said: "Chengtang is not a puppet, he still wants to be free even if he enters the rivers and lakes." ”

Xu Shengcheng suddenly understood why Li Chengtang was annoyed, and said with a smile: "The little sect master has only been in the rivers and lakes for a few days and is so assertive, okay, since you know the current situation, we people will no longer be verbose, and there will be no more arrangements around in the future, but Shangguan Chi must follow you to Henan Ran's house, so you should treat it as if you don't know it." ”

While everyone was talking, a personal soldier came to report that Qin Haotian and Ran Fei came to visit General Liu. It turned out that they heard that General Liu had arrived here, and although the people of Jianghu were unwilling to deal with the court, General Liu had a good reputation, so they took the initiative to come to meet him.

After Qin Haotian and Ran Fei entered the tent, they saw a group of people surrounding Li Chengtang in the middle and taking a seat, like stars and moons. I was amazed in my heart, and naturally I was surprised and guessed.

Especially when Ran Fei saw that his own doorman Shangguan Chi was also present, and his attitude was extremely respectful to Li Chengtang, it was even more inexplicable, I don't know what means Li Chengtang used.

Although they had doubts in their hearts, everyone greeted each other and expressed their gratitude and goodbye the next day.

On the second day, the Kazakhs gathered together to express their life-saving grace, and the Age family sent a lot of beef and mutton jerky for everyone to eat on the road. Ayiyi was sad, sent each other again and again, couldn't bear to part, and agreed with Li Chengtang on a day to get together.

Liu Mu even led the Xuanjia cavalry to Huaiyuan Pass, but he was afraid that the border army would clash with the garrison in the pass, so he parted. When parting, he had a lot of love and respect for Li Chengtang, which caused everyone to talk about it.

Seeing off here, Xu Shengcheng over there still made a lot of arrangements along the way, but Li Chengtang didn't know.

Drunk to pick up the lamp to look at the sword, dreaming back to blow the horn company camp. The horse-made Lu was fast, and the bow was like a thunderbolt. But the king of the world, won the name before and after his death. Everyone is fast, half a day's work, and in their minds, they still recall the battle formation of the military camp, and they have approached Huaiyuan Pass.

The courage of stepping through the lack of Helan Mountain and pointing at the head of the Hu people has become famous in a battle, and everyone in Huaiyuan Pass City knows each other, and they welcome each other.

And the young man in Xuanyi, who was carrying the ancient heavy sword god soldier "Dragon Seven Star Xuantian Sword" on his back, and Li Chengtang, who was looking for someone destined with the "Sun Shooting Bow", was even more popular.

Xuanyi Li Chengtang, the peerless martial arts "Flying Sword Technique", is well known to the entire Jianghu. Huaiyuan Pass, martial arts people flock to it.
