Gai Hong naturally doesn't easily believe in any miracles. She felt that since there was such a legend here, it must be that there were strong people living in the snow-capped mountains. As for the palace, it only serves ice and snow or something, but I am afraid that it will be false.

But at least it gave her a hope, a hope to make her stronger.

With her current strength, she can only send some minions who are not strong, and she can't even beat her senior brother Xie Qi, let alone Wuji and Lin Ziyue, who have entered the Dao realm.

The next day, Gai Hong set off with Juque on his back.

She only brought dry food for one day, but it was not because she wanted to be strong and competitive, but because it was not easy to survive on the plateau, and food was difficult to obtain. This is especially true for this old man who practiced alone at the foot of the mountain.

She was still young, and she had weapons, so she could go and kill birds and animals, and she could not compete with the old man who lived alone for that meager ration.

Five days later, Gai Hong stepped into the snowy line of the mountains with an antelope on his back.

Looking up, the peak of Our Lady's Peak is close in front of her, and during the days she was wandering outside, she had already understood the truth of running a dead horse in Wangshan, and knew that Our Lady's Peak seemed to be close and far away, and it was by no means something she could reach in a day or two.

But Gai Hong was not discouraged by this, because she still had something to do before she could climb to the peak of Our Lady.

"With the strength of the mere spiritual realm, even if there is a master on it, I am afraid that he will never bother to point me out. ”

She decided to find a snow cave to meditate and try to break through.

In the days when she entered the plateau, she often heard people mention that the heaven and earth on the snow-capped mountains were full of vitality and were very suitable for cultivation. It's just that although it is suitable, after all, the weather here is cold and the environment is harsh, and there are few people who can really insist on practicing in the snowy mountains.

"This time...... Gotta stick with it!"

Gai Hong found a snow cave, turned into a giant spirit, and used a single horn to push a boulder to the entrance of the cave, completely sealing the snow cave. When the last rays of light disappeared from view, she returned to her normal shape. He touched the cold giant sword and sat cross-legged.

The howling of the mountain wind around the ear drum gradually faded, and the eyes were red in the darkness, or the eyes were opened or closed, maintaining a state of comfort for the eyes, and the body gradually relaxed, although the ice and snow were still bitterly cold, but it became less unbearable.

This snow cave was specially selected by her, with her back to the wind outlet, and once the entrance of the cave is blocked, everything will be quiet. No more distractions.

No...... Perhaps, there is one more thing that interferes with her, and that is her heart.

Since the death of her father and brother, she has been thinking about revenge day and night, reciting Mowgli's name many times before going to bed every night, and even when she occasionally dreams, she is by no means the playmate of those teenagers.

There is not a day when she doesn't think about Mowgli, the name "Mowgli" and this person have become Gai Hong's obsession. In contrast to that. The grief of the tragic death of his father and brother became indifferent day by day, and Gai Hong even felt a little frightened when he occasionally thought about it.

Listening to the sound of his heartbeat, what flashed in his heart was Wuji's slightly playful smile. This upset her, not to mention that it was difficult to even sit still.

No...... Do not come into my heart, please......

Gai Hong's body stiffened. Due to poor blood circulation, it becomes sore, numb and painful, like 10,000 needles entering the body. But she didn't say a word, and endured it all.

Because she knows. If she couldn't hold back the pain and walked out of this snow cave, she would never have a chance again in her life. She had to seize this opportunity, this last chance in her life.

I don't know how long it took, but Gai Hong couldn't hear any sound. There was nothing in her sea of consciousness. She didn't like or mourn, she didn't think about it, she just waited quietly, silently, as if watching the deep starry sky, waiting for light and hope in the boundless darkness and nothingness.

At some point, the snow on the boulder outside the cave was blown away by the wind, and a ray of sunlight came in, and two figures were in the sunlight.

One of them was obviously a woman, with a slender build, wearing only a single coat in such a cold snowy mountain, holding a snow leopard cub in her hand. Another man was sturdy, as strong as a yak, and carried a bamboo basket with half a basket of snow lotuses on his back.

"Palace master, there is someone in this cave!" The man saw the snow cave and hurriedly protected it in front of the woman.

The woman looked in the direction he had given her, and vaguely saw a meditating girl, and the frozen antelope behind her.

"Looking at her, it looks like she's practicing...... You go and call someone who can fly over and bring her back to the Liuyu Palace. We've broken someone's hiding place, and it's dangerous if she continues to be exposed. ”

"Wow. ”

The man jumped onto a boulder and let out a few short, continuous chirps, and in a few moments, a huge white crane swooped down from behind the hillside, transformed into a human form, and carefully carried Gaihong, who was sitting cross-legged, out of the snow cave. The woman took one look, was taken aback, and blurted out.

"A piece of red?!"

......

The sky is dark.

Li Ze stood in the courtyard of the Li family's thousand-year-old inheritance, looking up at the gray sky, his eyes resolute.

The deadline is approaching, if you obediently tie your hands again, I am afraid that under Jiuquan, I will be ashamed of my ancestors and ancestors.

He had no choice but to fight to the death!

Xiahou Mengde was a rebel, both in terms of his usurpation of the empire and in terms of his betrayal of the family. He is even more of a fool, not long after he ascended the throne, he listened to Linghu Minzhi's slander and killed the seven surnames. He is just an ordinary member of the thirty-six surnames, how do you know how strong the background of the seven surnames is. Even if the Meng family's masters are lost, the influence of the Meng family cannot be eliminated in a day or two.

If you act reluctantly, you will only ask for trouble. When Li Ze accepted the task, he knew that there might be such a result, so he did not hesitate to offend Xiahou Mengde, did some tricks, and quietly covered some people.

Covering those people is not really to help them, but to accumulate hatred for the new dynasty and let people know that the culprit is someone else.

The undercurrent is already surging in Xianyang.

Li Ze believes that Xiahou Mengde has gone against the grain, and his death is not far away, and only one person is owed to raise his arms and shout. Ling Hu Minzhi is a tiger, and he is innocent of death.

......

Li Ze put on a cloak, pretended to be an entourage, and followed Liang Xiao, who was dressed in brocade, into a miscellaneous settlement in the west of the city.

Liang Xiao walked to the counter of the tavern proudly, squeezing away many Hu men along the way, attracting angry eyes from everyone. Liang Xiao didn't care, pressed one hand on the counter, and stared at the Hu Nu shopkeeper who came up.

"Sister, do you have a bottle to sell?"

High eyebrows and deep eyes. The half-dressed shopkeeper of the Hu girl was stunned, and smiled in return: "Naturally, there is wine, how much does the son offer?"

With a "snap", Liang Xiao snapped his fingers, and Li Ze behind him respectfully presented a bag of gold cakes. Liang Xiao ripped open the mouth of the bag and threw it on the counter, revealing the yellow and round gold.

The crowd was amazed.

Liang Xiao laughed. "You don't have to worry about money, you want the best!"

The smile on the face of the shopkeeper Hu was even stronger, and she bent down to pick up the gold cake and turned around. Twisting his waist and walking inside. "Childe, please come with me. ”

Liang Xiao and the others followed Hu Nu to a warehouse underground. The storeroom was lit with dim oil lamps, and though it was surrounded by weapons, it was dim. Li Ze's head lowered, Liang Xiao raised his head and walked to the middle seat and sat down, crossed Erlang's legs, and looked forward to himself.

A man in the corner who was wiping his weapon turned around. "How many people, how many weapons?"

"All the people, all the weapons. Of course, there is the best poison!" Liang Xiao took out a small dagger from his sleeve. Throw it on the table. "If you want the fiercest kind, you will die if you touch it!"

......

Linghu Minzhi received a letter, and Liang Xiao warmly invited him to the water stage to enjoy the song and dance.

After reading the letter carefully, Ling Hu Minzhi, who had been living in seclusion since becoming a great teacher, gladly accepted it. Be on time for your appointment.

Liang Xiao seemed to have emptied his savings and wrapped up the entire Shui Wu Building, and he even stood at the door himself, like a doorman. Waiting for Linghu Minzhi's ride. As soon as Ling Hu Min got out of the car, he stepped forward with his waist bent, eager to carry Ling Hu Minzhi upstairs.

Dinner. The well-toned Huren Dancing Girl danced under the cherry blossom trees in the court, and Liang Xiao, who was sitting with him, also persuaded him to drink again and again, and was diligent. He smiled flatteringly: "Great Master, my Liang family will follow you in the future, please read our past feelings, raise your noble hand, and take a hand." ”

Ling Hu Minzhi smiled and said nothing.

"Uh...... There is one more thing......" Liang Xiao looked a little cramped and uneasy, and leaned into Linghu Minzhi's ear and whispered: "Li Ze came to me last night, and he wanted to ask the great master to give him a chance." ”

Ling Hu Minzhi turned his head sideways, looked at Liang Xiao quietly for a moment, chuckled disdainfully, and nodded.

After a while, Li Ze, who was described as haggard, came to the two of them, and his body was sluggish, as if he was about to die. He slowly fell to his knees, his body trembling uncontrollably, like a candle in the wind. "The Great Country Teacher ......" was not finished, and the tears were left first, and the tears were silent.

Seeing Li Ze's wretched appearance, Hu Minzhi's face was calm.

"The great teacher, the Li family has tens of thousands of mouths...... In the past, Ze had no eyes and no beads, and he had a lot of disrespect for the great teachers, so he ended up at this point, and he was really to blame. I also hope that the great teachers will look up to their peers, raise their noble hands, and give them a chance to mend their ways. Li Jia...... More than 10,000 people will be reborn with the great teacher, and they dare not forget it. ”

Li Zesheng burst into tears, stepped forward on his knees, fell to the ground, and slowly stretched out his hand to hug Linghu Minzhi's feet. Liang Xiao smiled, with an embarrassed look on his face, but there was a faint sneer in Hu Minzhi's eyes.

At this moment, the dancing Hu Qi in the court turned to his eyes, jumped up suddenly, turned in the air, and drew a bright soft sword from his belt.

"Li Ze, take your life!"

The atmosphere in the field suddenly became tense, and Du Yu, who was standing behind Ling Hu Minzhi, saw this, and greeted him without thinking, turned into a fierce dog, pounced on Hu Ling, bit Hu Nu's wrist, and threw her to the ground. At the same time, the seven centaur knights standing behind Ling Hu Minzhi came around from both sides, stood in a row in front of Ling Hu Minzhi, and laid out a seven-killing array, separating the other kabuki and musicians, but inadvertently left Li Ze and Liang Xiao behind and left Ling Hu Minzhi's side.

"Up!" shouted angrily, and a bearded man with a pipa in his hand rushed up, and with a wave of his fingers, several poisonous needles shot out of the pipa. Another big-breasted, thin-hipped kabuki twisted her waist and shook her wrists, and her long ribbon turned into a deadly cord that rolled around the neck of a centaur knight.

In an instant, the originally delicate and colorful beauty turned into a killer and pounced on the centaur knight and attacked wildly. The centaur knight did not dare to slack off, strictly guarded the position, did not dare to have any carelessness, firmly protected Ling Hu Minzhi, and would slowly move his steps to escort Ling Hu Min downstairs.

Li Ze was waiting for this moment. He suddenly turned into a giant python, firmly entangled Ling Hu Minzhi, tightened his strength, and at the same time opened his huge mouth and bit Ling Hu Minzhi. One of the two long teeth has been extracted and replaced with a quenched dagger. Linghu Minzhi lowered his head and looked at the giant python, motionless, not even the indifferent expression on his face. I don't know if I was stupid and didn't have time to react, or if I was confident and expected.

A strong uneasiness suddenly welled up in Li Ze's heart.

"Poof!" The giant python bit Linghu Minzhi's chest, and the dagger stabbed Linghu Minzhi's heart, but it failed to penetrate. A glimmer of light flashed, not only blocking the dagger, but even the entangled power of the giant python was dissolved invisibly. Li Ze exerted his strength again, but he still couldn't penetrate or tighten his body.

He was so shocked that he didn't have time to think about it, he raised his head and bit at Ling Hu Minzhi's head.

At this moment, the knife flashed, and a long knife with the momentum of Mount Tai was overwhelming, and a knife slashed down, cutting the giant python into two sections. The huge python lost the support of its body, and along with the quenched dagger, fell to the ground with a heavy blow.

"Ahh Liang Xiao held the knife in both hands, stood three steps away, and was looking at him coldly. Li Ze suddenly understood, and scolded sharply: "Liang Xiao, you traitor!"

"I don't want to die yet!" Liang Xiao also shouted loudly: "The Li family must accompany the funeral for the empire, but I don't have to!

Li Ze fell to the ground, his intestines dragging a little. He propped his hands on the ground, trembled and "stood up", stared at Liang Xiao viciously, and gritted his teeth hard. Du Yu flew to the scene and kicked Li Ze in the face. "Smack!" Li Ze's teeth were kicked off, and the small dagger fell to the ground.

Linghu Minzhi sighed, walked up to Li Ze and said, "Go slowly, don't be in a hurry, you won't be alone." ”

......

The whole city of Xianyang is under martial law, the three surnames of Win, Meng, and Li have been uprooted, and the other four surnames are also implicated, the whole Xianyang is full of rumors, mourning is everywhere, thousands of people have been beheaded by Weishui, more people have been imprisoned, Xianyang's prison is overcrowded for a while, the price of slaves and maids in Xianyang has dived one after another in one day, and countless descendants of the family who used to be high and empty are standing in the slave market for people to choose.

Countless fertile fields and houses were confiscated, the wealth and grain accumulated over many years were nationalized, the empty treasury was finally filled, and the long-overdue military salaries were finally distributed.

Three days later, under the corridor of Afang Palace, Xiahou Mengde stood with his hands in his hands, squinting his eyes, looking at the clear blue sky and the dazzling sun, and smiling. "It's time for these annoying families to stop for a while. Minzhi, who is better to lead the southern expedition?"

Linghu Minzhi stood beside Xiahou Mengde. "A soldier, the weapon of the country, cannot be compared with others. The same is true for those who win, the remnants of the empire, proficient in the art of war, and have no taboo to help each other, and they are not equal to the enemy. I hope that Your Majesty will personally conquer and show his might again, and level the Purple Moon Forest in one fell swoop. ”——
