Northern Shuzhou.

The green mountains are faintly in the middle stream, where are the caves and clouds?

Strange peaks stand tall, mountains are continuous, verdant and steep, clouds cover the fog.

On the top of the treacherous peak, a gray figure stood quietly, like a figure in the splashed ink and danqing.

He put his hands behind his back and looked out at the mist-shrouded sky, his long pale hair fluttering with the curling clouds.

Suddenly, an abrupt footstep sounded, shattering the quiet and beautiful picture.

"Brother Lan Zhou, I haven't seen you for many years, don't come unharmed!"

Gong Yunshan stepped to the edge of the cliff and chuckled.

"As long as I can't see you, the old man is fine." The old man standing on the top of the peak turned his head, revealing a crane-haired and childish face.

The ruddy face, the tall nose, and a pair of vicissitudes and quiet eyes seem to be full of precipitation over the years.

When Gong Yunshan heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

"It seems that Brother Lan Zhou doesn't welcome me."

"Why do you want to come when you know that?"

"Because I need Brother Lanzhou's help." Gongyun Mountain Road.

Qing Lanzhou shook his head slightly, "I won't help you." ”

"Don't be so arbitrary, maybe this is also your chance to go to the Yuan Sect." Gongyun Mountain Road.

"The old man knows what you want." Qing Lanzhou sighed softly, "If it was thirty years ago, maybe the old man would be willing to make a move." Unfortunately, not now. ”

"Why?" Gongyun Mountain Road.

"Because we can't afford to do it anymore." Qing Lanzhou said.

Gong Yunshan frowned slightly.

"Qi Shang is dead!" Qing Lanzhou said.

Gong Yunshan's eyes widened, "How did you die?" ”

"I don't know." Qing Lanzhou shook his head slightly.

When Qin Wei left from the Qiyuan Sect, Qi Shang and Li Man of the Shuzhou Holy Sect attacked and killed Qin Wei, but were killed by Qin Wei.

In addition to Qin Wei and the others, there was only Lu Qingfeng of the Seven Yuan Sect.

The Seven Yuan Sect and the Shang Yuan Sect were originally hostile to each other, and Lu Qingfeng naturally would not be kind enough to tell the Shang Yuan Sect about this.

In addition, Qi Shang likes to travel among the people, and his whereabouts have always been erratic, so even if he is missing, no one will notice it.

If it weren't for the agreement between Qing Lanzhou and Qi Shang before, he wouldn't even know that Qi Shang was missing.

A month ago was the day of his appointment with Qi Shang, but Qi Shang did not come back to the appointment, Qing Lanzhou felt that something was wrong, so he arranged for the disciples in the sect to go down the mountain to find Qi Shang.

For a month, they didn't know any trace of Qi Shang, and Qing Lanzhou could only believe that Qi Shang was dead.

Gong Yunshan frowned, he could understand why Qing Lanzhou would say that Shangyuanzong was no longer able to make any more moves.

The reason why the Cultivation Holy Land is a Cultivation Holy Land is because they have a complete innate inheritance of the third layer of artistic conception. It can ensure that each generation of the Holy Land can have an innate martial artist who understands the third layer of artistic conception.

Although other sects also have innate martial artists, they do not have the innate inheritance of the third layer of artistic conception, so they can only be regarded as ordinary sect forces.

For example, the Heavenly Master's Mansion in Tianzhou, the Lishan Sword Sect, the Luoxia Sect, the Holy Sect in Shuzhou, the Wushan Hall in Yunzhou, and so on.

And for the cultivation holy land, every innate martial artist is crucial, because every innate martial artist represents the alternation of top martial arts.

Shangyuan Sect used to have only two innate martial artists, that is, Qing Lanzhou and Qi Shang.

After Qing Lanzhou grows old, Qi Shang will become the suzerain of Shangyuan Sect.

But now that Qi Shang is dead, the inheritance of Shangyuan Sect may be broken.

Qing Lanzhou had to train a new successor before he grew old, so now he was naturally reluctant to meddle in matters outside the sect.

Gong Yunshan was silent for a moment and said, "I can provide three Pure Heart Pills and ten Ning Yuan Pills for the Shangyuan Sect. ”

The Qingxin Pill is a commonly used elixir for innate martial artists, which helps to polish the mood and improve the comprehension of artistic conception.

Ning Yuan Dan is an elixir used by martial artists to break through to the innate realm, which can condense the true qi in the martial artist's body and turn it into true yuan, which can increase the probability of breaking through the innate realm.

The superposition of these two elixirs can allow a nine-rank peak martial artist to break through to the innate realm.

An elixir like this is also extremely precious to a cultivation holy land.

Qing Lanzhou looked up at the misty clouds, "The old man can't make a move, but if you need to, the old man's disciples can go down the mountain." ”

"Brother Lan Zhou's disciples are all good talents, but once they go down the mountain, they may pay a very tragic price." Gong Yunshan's eyes flashed with a strange light.

"What do you mean?" Qing Lanzhou asked with a calm face.

"We only need innate martial artists." Gongyun Mountain Road.

Most of Qing Lanzhou's disciples are nine-rank martial artists, and the strength of nine-rank martial artists is not weak, but they can't solve the problem of Nanyang City.

"You mean Devouring Yuan Dan!" Qing Lanzhou's face became extremely ugly.

"That's right, the Qingxin Pill and the Ning Yuan Pill are very precious." Gong Yunshan chuckled.

The Yuan Devouring Pill is a forbidden pill, and after taking it, a Nine-Rank Martial Artist can forcibly raise his cultivation to the innate realm, but the price is that when the vitality is exhausted, it is the day of death.

The strength of the Nine Rank Martial Artists who took the Devouring Yuan Pill was naturally inferior to the innate martial artists who cultivated themselves, but no matter how inferior they were, they were also innate martial artists.

Qing Lanzhou's eyes were slightly closed, and he was silent for a long time.

He understood what Gong Yunshan meant.

It's a deal.

exchanged the lives of his disciples for the Pure Heart Pill and the Ning Yuan Pill.

"Three!"

"Good!" Gongyun Mountain responded.

"Sure enough, the old man shouldn't see you!" Qing Lanzhou sighed helplessly.

His disciples were all his closest people, but he had to trade his life for the elixir.

Because Shangyuan Sect really needs Qingxin Dan and Ning Yuan Dan, otherwise he really can't guarantee that Shangyuan Sect's inheritance will not be broken.

……

By the time Qin Wei came to Shuzhou City, it was already the end of May.

The turmoil in Shuzhou City has completely subsided, although the streets still look a little lonely, but at least the people have begun to get busy with their lives.

Qin Wei was greeted by Liu Yuanrang and Ji Fei, and then went to the Dusi Yamen.

"What is the current situation in Shuzhou City?" Qin Wei sat in the lobby of the Dusi Yamen and asked.

Liu Yuanrang replied: "Back to Your Highness, the situation is still a little unsatisfactory, although the people's livelihood has recovered well, but there are still many problems within the Sansi Yamen. ”

"In particular, the Chief Secretary and the Judicial Department are basically paralyzed at the moment."

In this regard, Liu Yuanrang and Ji Fei had a headache.

Cheng Yu, the political envoy of Shuzhou, also joined the rebellion like Tang Mingcheng, and when the rebels surrendered in Shuzhou City, Cheng Yu was sold to Liu Yuanrang by a small leader of the rebels, and many officials of the Shuzhou Political Department became rebels.

The officials such as the prosecutor were killed by Tang Mingcheng and Cheng Yu.

Today, there are less than 30% of the high-level officials of the entire Sansi Yamen.

"Did you play the court?" Qin Wei asked.

"It's already playing." Liu Yuan gave way.

Qin Wei bowed slightly, he couldn't interfere in the affairs of the officials of the three divisions, but he could ask for credit for the soldiers who participated in the counterinsurgency.

"Then let's do it first, these days, you guys have to worry more about it."

"The subordinate obeys!"

After a brief chat, Qin Wei left the Dusi Yamen and came to a separate courtyard.

Intoxicating Pavilion!

An exquisite and ornate courtyard that served as the residence of Qin Wei Shuzhou.

Looking at the crazy growth of plants and trees in the courtyard, and the gorgeous and colorful garden, Qin Wei said thoughtfully: "When will Li Ru arrive?" ”

"Master Li set off from Xinning Mansion five days ago, and it is expected to arrive the day after tomorrow." Xiao Shunzi followed behind Qin Wei and replied.

The Shuzhou Rebellion ended, and Li Ru no longer needed to stay in Xinningfu City, so when Qin Wei had not yet arrived in Shuzhou City, he had already asked Li Ru to come to Shuzhou.

"Where's Di Renjie?"

"Master Di is still in Shuxi Wudong Mansion, there are still many remnants of the Holy Sect over there, and the Zhenwu Division is encircling and suppressing them."

Qin Wei nodded, looking at a green and crystal flower in the garden, swaying in the wind, and fell into deep thought.

Now that the Shuzhou Rebellion is basically over, he will stay in Shuzhou for nearly two years.

He needs to plan what he should do in the next two years.

In fact, Qin Wei didn't mind being in Shuzhou, it was better for him to be in Shuzhou now than to go back to Kyoto.

……

Southwest of Dali, South Curtain City.

Early in the morning.

The warm morning sun shone brightly on the earth.

The majestic South Curtain Gate made a heavy and distant sound, slowly pushing open to both sides.

A horse-drawn carriage slowly drove out of the city, and dozens of imposing and armored soldiers guarded the carriage.

"Your Highness!"

Just as the carriage drove out of the city gate, an old man in a green shirt rode up and chased after him.

The carriage stopped, the curtain opened, and a handsome face emerged from the car.

"Senior Ji, is there anything else?"

The handsome young man was wearing a purple gown, which looked very luxurious.

"The old man has something I want to tell His Highness!" The old man rode to the carriage and said with a solemn expression.

"Hmmm! Senior, please say. ”

"This time back to Kyoto, pass through Shuzhou, and act in a low-key manner." The old man said.

A smile appeared on the young man's face, and he said, "The senior is reminding this king not to provoke the king of Xin'an County!" ”

"Your Highness can also understand it in the same way." The old man said.

"Why?" The young man's face changed, and a pair of narrow eyes suddenly burst out with a sinister essence.

The old man was silent for a while, and said: "The king of Xin'an County is powerful in Shuzhou, so it is better not to provoke His Highness." ”

"Humph!"

The young man snorted coldly and closed the curtain directly.

"No matter how powerful he is, he is also the younger brother of this king, and he should stand obediently in front of this king."

"Let's go!"

A cold voice came from inside the carriage, and the old man quietly watched the carriage leave.

When the carriage was far away, an unslowing sound of horses' hooves came from the city.

Splendid robes, white jade crowns, dancing people in the phoenix, the breeze comes.

"Meet the Young City Lord!"

When the old man saw the comer, he bowed his hand.

Lu Baifeng, the young city lord of South Curtain City.

"How?" Lu Baifeng smiled lightly, his handsome face was elegant, calm, and a little unspeakably arrogant.

The old man shook his head slightly, "The young city lord should understand His Highness's character, he is not a person who listens to people's persuasion. ”

"It's just that the young city lord wants the old man to persuade him."

Lu Baifeng looked at the distant convoy, and the smile on his face was even better.

"I'm not asking you to persuade him, I'm asking you to provoke him."

"We need a pawn to test the king of Xin'an."

The old man's expression moved slightly, "But why do we want to test the king of Xin'an, he doesn't seem to have anything to do with us." ”

Nanmaku City is located in the south of Yuanzhou, like a tail of Da Li, extending outward for hundreds of miles from the back of Da Li's buttocks.

Mao Jiang caused chaos in the three southwestern states, but he never provoked Nanmu City, because he didn't dare.

Of course, Nanmu City will not care about him, for Nanmu City, they need to unite Dali to fight against the southern barbarians, but they have never liked to meddle in the internal affairs of Dali.

Even Mao Jiang is clearly distinguishable from them, not to mention Qin Wei, the king of Xin'an County.

Lu Baifeng grabbed the reins, turned the horse's head, and walked towards the city.

"The entire Dali will be chaotic due to the general trend, how can we be alone in Nanmu City."

"Just because there's no involvement now doesn't mean there won't be in the future."

"This kind of thing is worthless, so naturally you can use it as soon as you can use it."

"By the way, you clean up, and we'll be in Dali in three days!"

"This world is surging, how can I be without Lu Baifeng?"
