The "Jianghu Xuan Appraisal List" is a recognized master ranking list on the rivers and lakes, which is evaluated once a year and has never been broken. But after this year, the list has not been released, I don't know why.

Ran Jingjing glanced at the group of people, "No wonder those people are gloomy, and these backgrounds, they don't look like serious people, they are eunuchs' subordinates!" ”

Nangong Qingwu laughed softly:

"It's not just that, the list is just a means to control the people in the rivers and lakes, bad people know what is going on in the world, they are doing the dirty work of buying and selling news, collecting money and assassination, and it may not be a good thing to suddenly invite us to go this time."

Li Chengtang glanced at Nangong Qingwu and said with a smile: "These are people from the imperial court, no wonder the seniors don't go, because they are afraid that they will turn over the accounts of your rebellion last year, you are very familiar with them." ”

Nangong Qingwu smiled wryly and said:

"I want to think that when the old man picked the rivers and lakes alone, he made a news deal with them, and he knew a little about them, generally they would not take the initiative to invite people, but now the two of you have their own pearls, who knows what kind of heart they have."

As he spoke, he suddenly coughed, protruding a mouthful of blood, and stood a little unsteadily. It is estimated that Bijian was seriously injured just now. It's not easy to hold on until now.

Li Chengtang looked at his strong physique, "There's no way to go now?" ”

Ran Jingjing said: "Go and go, what's so scary." ”

As they were talking, the group of people said impatiently, "Have the three of you negotiated?" Our owner is waiting for the three of us to come to the village! "Look at what he said, this trip is a must.

Li Chengtang said: "Then you will lead the way." ”

Since these are people from the imperial court, Li Chengtang does not want to conflict with them.

When the man heard this, he went and drove the carriage and let them get into it, as if he wanted to drive it for them himself.

After getting into the carriage, Nangong Qingwu suddenly nodded two fingers on Ran Jingjing's body. Li Chengtang was just about to stop him, but he spit out blood, sighed and said:

"The old man is really old, he can't do his luck if he is injured, Jing girl, the old man has lifted the ban on you, if there is danger later, you have to save your life and live well, you haven't told the old man the solution of the 'Great Sumeru Sword Style'."

Li Chengtang said in his heart, this old man still remembers what Jingjing said just now. but sighed that he is also a lover! knew that he was afraid that if he died, he would mistake Ran Jingjing.

Ran Jingjing was secretly lucky, feeling that her true qi was unimpeded, and she was sure that he had lifted the ban on herself. couldn't help but have a good impression of him, and said with a smile:

"The 'Great Sumeru Sword Style' is known as the mustard seed Tibetan Sumeru, winning in the square inch, and there is the power of the small world within the square inch, and the 'Liuyun Eighteen Style' is winning in the majestic atmosphere, as long as the predecessors do not fight with him in close quarters, give full play to their strengths, and attack it with the realm of the great grandmaster."

Nangong Qingwu suddenly realized, and Li Chengtang also felt like a slap in the face.

The higher the martial arts, the more complicated the thinking is, and only Ran Jingjing can understand such a simple truth. I can't help but praise her for her true kendo wisdom.

But Ran Jingjing's words made Nangong Qingwu more and more obsessed with the "Flying Sword Technique", if he could learn the "Flying Sword Technique", wouldn't the "Tianshan Sect" not have to pay attention to it.

While the three of them were talking, the carriage had already galloped out of ten miles.

Ahead is an open area, and you come to a three-way intersection. In the midst of the green grass, the carriage turned left and continued on its way.

The carriage stabilized, and Nangong Qingwu silently remembered the "Flying Sword Technique" that Ran Jingjing said, while secretly healing his wounds. Along the way, he actually came up with some doorways.

It's no wonder that although Ran Jingjing's "Flying Sword Technique" is fake, it is mixed with the supreme exercises of the Hanging Temple. This technique is very effective for healing. Nangong Qingwu felt that the sad pulse was gradually showing signs of recovery, and even believed that Ran Jingjing did not lie to him, thinking that she would definitely keep her safe and find the sword spectrum of the "Flying Sword Technique" along the way.

The carriage traveled another five miles, and in front of it was a pool of lake water and a row of weeping willows. After rounding the lake, a huge mansion appeared in front of him.

The structure of this mansion is like a palace, and it is guarded by Jin Wuwei, just like a palace. The three of them got out of the car, and Nangong Qingwu said in a low voice:

"Ji Xuanzhuang has many places in the Tang Dynasty, such as the emperor's palace, this is just one of them, I don't know who is seeing us today, when the time comes, don't directly conflict with them, they are too many, and the old man will be stunned when he enters here at such an age."

Li Chengtang said in his heart, there is still something that you are afraid of. Looking around, I saw that the palace walls were towering, the buildings were towering, and the guards were heavily guarded, and I didn't just mutter in my heart.

Secretly, this Ximen Ji Xuan is just a eunuch, but he lives in such a place, which is higher than the emperor's specifications. Maybe His Majesty will be played with by him, and the Tang Dynasty will not be defeated.

Everyone was led into the mansion, and walked through it for more than ten minutes before they came to the living room of a palace-like house. The living room is large and luxuriously furnished. Everyone sat down, and a maid came up with tea. The man who led them all the way said:

"Everyone, wait a minute, the owner will come soon." He went incognito.

But after a while, I saw an old man with a white face and beard and gray hair walking in. There are also two middle-aged men dressed in black shirts who are accompanied by them, and their footsteps should not be weak in martial arts.

The old man wore a light purple dark pattern python robe, and he knew from the way he wore it that his position was not low. When he entered the door, he first laughed and said:

"Ximen Ji Xuan has made everyone wait for a long time, and I have seen the head of Nangong, Li Shaoxia, and Miss Ran!"

The voice is loud with a little sharp voice, which shows that he is a eunuch. But from the voice, it can also be heard that this person's internal strength is not weak. Li Chengtang couldn't even perceive the depth.

Nangong Qingwu saw that the person who came was actually the boss of the "Jianghu Xuan Appraisal List" and the owner of the first village of Ji Xuanzhuang. hurriedly got up and saluted, "Nangong has seen the envoy of the Guanjun!" But in my heart, I guessed what had alarmed the old eunuch, and it seemed that today's things were difficult to get better.

Ximen Ji Xuan unceremoniously walked to the main seat and sat down, pressed his empty hand, and said:

"We don't call official positions, just meet each other with the courtesy of the rivers and lakes."

Li Chengtang didn't know what the official rank of the envoy of the Guanjun Rong was, and he didn't bother to pay attention to these etiquettes, so he sat down after a little courtesy.

I saw Ximen Ji Xuan continue:

"Please come here today not for anything else, the 'Jianghu Xuan Appraisal List' is about to be released, you will be the ones who will help, our family will do things for Your Majesty, one is to congratulate you on behalf of the imperial court, and the other is to ask Li Shaoxia about something, you are guests from afar, we will finish the meal first and then talk about others."

After speaking, he immediately ordered the two people who followed him to pass the meal. After a while, the maid in the village put the banquet on the table. The dishes were extravagant and sumptuous, and it seemed that they had already been prepared, just waiting for them to arrive.

Li Chengtang already loves delicacies, and he doesn't care so much, he eats by himself. Ran Jingjing went all the way, and she didn't eat anything delicious, and she began to feast.

Only Nangong Qingwu muttered in his heart. I thought that congratulations on being on the list was fake, and it was important to ask Li Chengtang about it. If you can work Ximen Ji Xuan to come, it must be an earth-shattering thing. I secretly hope that it is better not to ask for "flying sword duel".

Nangong Qingwu and Ximen Ji Xuan each had their own thoughts, but they just accompanied Li Chengtang to eat two bites, and then stopped using chopsticks. Li Chengtang held the mentality that if he came, he would be at ease, and he wiped his lips until he was full of wine and food, and said:

"Thank you, owner Ximen, for this meal, if you have anything to ask, just ask, but Li Chengtang will definitely tell me if he can tell me!"

Ximen Ji Xuan didn't expect Li Chengtang to be so easy to speak, so he was stunned and said:

"Our family eats the king's fortune and is loyal to the king, if there is anything offended, please forgive Li Shaoxia, but this matter is very important and must be asked clearly, but our family will also inform Li Shaoxia about the 'flying sword duel' information to exchange, and never let Shaoxia suffer."

Nangong Qingwu, Li Chengtang and Ran Jingjing were all stunned on the spot, what is more important than the "Flying Sword Duel".

Ran Jingjing didn't know why, about the whereabouts of the "Flying Sword Duel", her Ran family didn't know, wouldn't it be surprising that she could find information here from Ximen Ji Xuan.

Li Chengtang felt the importance of the matter, vaguely guessed what he would ask, and said solemnly:

"If the owner of Ximen Zhuang wants to ask about something related to Li Chengtang's family background, it is better to ask alone."

Ximen Ji Xuan's eyes flashed, "Li Shaoxia is really transparent, our family is just going to ask about Shaoxia's origin, as well as the ...... about the 'Dragon Sword' and the 'Procuratorate'"

Li Chengtang interrupted him with a remark, and said to Nangong Qingwu and Ran Jingjing:

"Trouble seniors to go out for a while!"

Nangong Qingwu didn't know what to do, and walked out when she heard the words. He knew that the "Dragon Sword" was owned by Li Chengtang, but it had been snatched away by Lonely, and he had never heard of the "Procuratorate" at all, as well as Li Chengtang's family history, why would Ximen Jixuan be interested in all this? I was puzzled.

Ran Jingjing knew some inside stories, but she didn't dare to say more, and went outside the door with Nangong Qingwu.

Ximen Ji Xuan also retreated, then opened a secret room and walked in with Li Chengtang.

In the secret room, the two sat on opposite sides. Ximen Ji Xuan first asked:

"The 'Dragon Sword' is owned by Shaoxia?"

"It's the sword of Li Chengtang's family heirloom!"

"That young man is from the Lingnan Li family?"

"Exactly!"

Li Chengtang took out the gold medal he carried with him, and Ximen Ji Xuan knelt on the ground and continued:

"The 'little sect master' can know that the 'Dragon Sword' is the sword of the emperor, and it can cut the dragon qi of the world, this time I don't want to be a rebellious minister and an enemy of Your Majesty!"

………

Nangong Qingwu and Ran Jingjing waited outside the door for a long time, and the two of them each guessed what they would talk about inside. What Ran Jingjing was most afraid of was asking about the secret recruitment of troops by the "Procuratorate", which was a major crime of rebellion. In case Li Chengtang is careless, he will enter the land of no return. Nangong Qingwu was afraid that the "Flying Sword Duel" would be tricked by the imperial court, so he would be happy in vain.

The two of them were waiting anxiously, and they saw Li Chengtang and Ximen Ji Xuan walking out one after the other. The expressions and attitudes of the two have changed, Li Chengtang is even more imposing, while Ximen Ji Xuan is respectful.

Ximen Ji Xuan sent them out of the door, instructed the guards to send them all the way to Weizhou, and said when they left:

"The 'little sect master' will move slowly, and we will act according to the discussion, and our family will wait for the 'little sect master' to be demolished at any time." Seeing that they were far away, he suddenly shouted again: "'Little Sect Master', remember to find the painter!" ”
