"It seems that many of the people present have already recognized our identity." Lu Nianchou knew very well in his heart that the reputation of Li Mochou, the Red Lian Fairy, spread widely in the rivers and lakes.

Today's Xiangyang City is surging, and there are many martial arts heroes gathered, and it is normal to be recognized.

As for his reputation for ghost sorrow, although it is widely spread in the north, the people in the rivers and lakes of the Great Song Dynasty rarely witness it with their own eyes, and they never know that this young boy is the bright left envoy who is rampant in the north.

While thinking in his heart, he said, "Xiao Er will come to the two upper rooms. ”

"Guest officer, please go inside." The shopkeeper greeted the guests neatly, and when he saw that the visitor was a beautiful woman dressed as a Taoist aunt, and a pair of young men and women, he hurriedly lowered his head and didn't dare to look at it.

With the arrival of Guo Jing and Huang Rong and his wife in Xiangyang City, more and more people in the rivers and lakes gathered in Xiangyang City, and these ordinary people are becoming more and more cautious on weekdays, just afraid that they will accidentally annoy these uncles who lick blood on the knife edge.

Soon, the shopkeeper led them upstairs and arranged two rooms that were connected together.

Lu Nianchou glanced at it, although the room was not big, it was cleaned up, nodded, and said, "Xiao Er, go get some hot water, prepare some food, bring a portion of your signature dishes here, and then bring a jar of wine." ”

As he spoke, he casually threw out some pieces of silver.

The shopkeeper took the silver, the smile on his face became a little brighter, and said, "Okay boy, please rest first, hot water and wine will come soon." ”

On the side, Li Mochou had already entered the room, and these trivial matters had always been taken care of by the two disciples, and she had never been involved.

Hong Lingbo secretly glanced at Lu Nianchou, and followed him into the room where Li Mochou was.

Although Lu Nianchou knew her careful thoughts, he pretended not to see it, and only snickered in his heart: "My naïve senior sister, can you escape if you want to?" ”

"I'm going to have to clean you up tonight."

Thinking of the scene of the three of them on Huashan for the first time, he only felt that the yang energy in his body was a little restless, and it took a long time to calm down.

After some washing, the shopkeeper served wine and food again, and the three of them were dusty all the way, although they had martial arts, they also felt a little tired at this time.

Lu Nianchou took the wine and food and entered Li Mochou's room.

"Master, Senior Sister, these meals look pretty good, let's use some first!" Lu Nianchou placed these drinks and dishes on the table one by one, and then beckoned.

Li Mochou did not refuse, and when he sat down, the atmosphere was a little different.

It's been a long time since they've sat down at a table like this to eat, and in retrospect it seems like it happened a long time ago.

But now the relationship between the master and apprentice has undergone earth-shaking changes.

Such a warm atmosphere is really rare, Lu Nianchou didn't have a crooked mind, but just took the initiative to serve food to the two, while Hong Lingbo poured wine for them.

After drinking three cups and eating some more dishes, Li Mochou stopped and asked, "Now that you have arrived in Xiangyang, what are your plans next?" ”

Lu Nianchou played with the wine glass in his hand and didn't speak for a while.

Xiangyang is the land of the four wars, which can reach the Jianghan Plain in the south, Suizhou and Hankou in the east, Guanzhong and Chang'an in the west, and Luoyang and the Central Plains in the north.

Now that the Mongol army has invaded the south, Xiangyang City has become the best stage, and capable people can naturally gain enough fame through the Xiangyang battlefield.

Just participating in the Hero Conference and winning the position of the so-called leader of the martial arts alliance cannot satisfy Lu Nianchou.

He knew very well in his heart that the so-called martial arts alliance leader was nothing more than vanity, and people in the rivers and lakes had always been alone and liked to compete for fame and fortune.

It's not easy to get together reluctantly, and it will only take more time and energy to make the people in the rivers and lakes your own.

Lu Nianchou thought of what he heard from those officers on the first floor of the inn just now, and thought thoughtfully.

You must know that with the southward migration of the Great Song Dynasty, the north was occupied by the Great Liao and Jin Kingdoms, and now it has been swept by the Mongols, so a large number of northerners defected.

These people included not only displaced people who had fled war and famine, but also northern rebels and defectors.

The Great Song Dynasty referred to these people as reformers.

An important measure of the imperial court to settle and utilize the reformed people was to integrate the strong, the rebels, and the defected officers and soldiers into the army, and the army formed by these reformers was called the Northern Army.

For the reformed people, in addition to distributing relief money and grain, distributing land, ploughing cattle, and seeds for resettlement, the imperial court included men in the army and placed the reformed people.

There is no doubt that such an approach will play a vital role in rallying the hearts and minds of the people and stabilizing morale.

From the Shaoxing period, when Yue Fei commanded the army, he took the six counties of Xiangyang as the foundation and fought against the Jin State, and attached great importance to the reformed people.

However, with the passage of time, with the recruitment of a large number of reformers, the officials of the Southern Song Dynasty became more and more worried about the reformers from the north, and Zhu Xi was one of the representatives.

He believes that "the troubles of ancient and modern times must have a root cause." Han eunuchs, descendants, and Tang Fan Town, all of them are also sick. ”

"The root of today's illness is in the reformed person, and suddenly he is taught, how can the state and county help him!"

This regarded the reformed people as the greatest scourge of the Song Dynasty, and even compared with the disaster of Pan Zhen in the previous dynasty, the eunuchs and relatives of the Han Dynasty.

Literati don't use knives to kill, just this sentence has already doomed the future and future of the Northern Army.

With the suppression of the Southern Song scholars led by Zhu Xi, the Southern Song Dynasty adopted a cautious attitude towards the increasing number of Guizheng Northern Army, reduced its establishment, and subordinated them to the garrison armies set up along the Yangtze River, and mixed with the large number of Southern Song army.

The imperial court's vigilance and suppression of the northern army naturally aroused the dissatisfaction of the generals and colonels of the northern army, and the southern army was already dissatisfied with the various treatments enjoyed by the northern army that were superior to those of the southern army, and the contradictions between the northern and southern armies became increasingly deep.

At this time, in order to loot wealth, many court dignitaries not only directly exploited the materials that should be distributed to the reformers, but even filled the army with those who were old, weak, sick and disabled, regardless of whether they were qualified or not.

In this way, there will be another batch of cannon fodder to resist the Mongol army, and there will also be another batch of military salaries that can be deducted.

The people above are full of oil, and the northern army below will be exhausted as long as there are a few battles, and no one will come to trouble.

With the passage of time, the treatment of the northern army became worse and worse, and the northern and southern armies were almost on the same footing.

Lu Nianchou had also heard of these news, but this time he heard the remarks of those officers with his own ears, and he felt that things might be worse than he imagined.

There is no doubt that the Northern Army, which was dissatisfied with the Southern Song Dynasty and unwilling to surrender to the Mongols, was the best target for him.

If it can take root in the Northern Army, then not only the Northern Army in Xiangyang City, but also the entire Northern Army system if it moves quickly.

Someday, when the time comes, we will be able to respond to all calls.

Before breaking through the heavens, no matter how strong the martial arts are, it is difficult to reverse the surging trend; But after arriving at the heavenly people, they have to follow the Taoist rules.

If you want to be the king, you must have a sufficient foundation, and just the Ming Sect, which is now weak, is far from enough.

The existence of the Northern Army not only represents an armed force, but also a representative of the Han people in the North who are unwilling to accept Mongol rule, and they will be the sharpest blade against Mongolia.

They were dissatisfied with the Southern Song court, and it was a great thing for themselves.

Lu Nianchou groaned: "Next, Xiangyang must be the core of the war between the Great Song Dynasty and the Mongols, and I plan to settle here, participate in the war, and gain fame." ”

"Now that there are still a few months before the Heroes Conference is held, I plan to contact the Mingjiao Sect and do something."

"Now although I have the name of the Ming Sect's Bright Left Messenger, I have no real name."

"Next, I plan to secretly convene the thirty-six helmsmen of the Ming Sect, convene a general meeting, and elect the position of the sect leader."

Li Mochou frowned slightly, and said: "I'm afraid this matter won't be so simple, Lady Miaoyu used to hold most of the power of the Ming Sect, and now that she has turned her back on you, those helmsmen of the Ming Sect may not recognize you." ”

A cold luster flashed in Lu Nianchou's eyes, and he said in a light tone: "Guo Jing and Huang Rong held a heroic conference, I don't believe that the Ming Sect didn't pay attention to this matter, just now there should be a Ming Sect on the first floor of the inn that has discovered me." ”

"Even if other people in the rivers and lakes don't recognize me, it's impossible for me to be a member of the Ming Sect and not even recognize the Bright Left Messenger in the sect."

"I expect that someone from the Ming Sect will take the initiative to contact me next."

"No matter what kind of plans and ideas they have in private, if they fall into my hands, they can't help it."

As he spoke, he took out a bone attachment needle from his sleeve and said to Li Mochou, "Master, I want to ask you to help me perfect this secret weapon method. ”

"This needle is fed with poison, but the drug is slowly attacked, six times a day, so that people taste all kinds of unspeakable severe pain, and for a time they will not die, and they will be tortured until a year or two later, they will take their lives."

"A person with good martial arts is able to resist with luck, but the more he resists, the more painful it becomes, and the suffering is more intense."

Lu Nianchou looked at Li Mochou and said, "I will inform you of the antidote to this bone attachment needle, and I hope you can help me develop a drug that can suppress the pain in a short time and delay the onset of the poison, but it cannot be fully interpreted." ”

"It would be better if it could aggravate the medicinal properties of this ake-attaching needle and make the poison more and more complicated and difficult to solve."

"I will naturally treat those who are willing to listen to me, and if someone does not know how to lift, then I will let him know what life is better than death."

Li Mochou nodded and said: "This is a good way, leave this matter to me, since you have a recipe for poison and antidote, then this matter is not difficult." ”

"I can mix the poison of the Ice Spirit Silver Needle with the poison of the Bone Attachment Needle, and no one will be able to solve it when the time comes."

"As for the antidote, it will take me a while to find the most suitable dosage."

Lu Nianchou smiled when he heard this: "Sure enough, it is the master who loves me the most, with the help of the master, this Ming Sect will fall into my hands sooner or later." ”

"As for Ge Yu, sooner or later, she will know how wrong she was in the first place."

Li Mochou took a handkerchief, carefully put away the bone needle, and looked at his proud appearance, he couldn't help but shake his head, "You must not be careless, it is not for nothing that the Mingjiao has been able to survive under the suppression of the imperial court for so many years." ”

"There are some die-hard people among them, who are not even afraid of death, and even when they are forced to be in a hurry, they will directly burn themselves to ashes, and they will never surrender to the enemy."

"Although there are not many such hard bones, they are by no means a few, if you think that everything will be fine with the bone needle, then you are underestimating them."

Lu Nianchou smiled and said: "Don't worry, Master, I won't be so arrogant, these people in the Ming Sect, except for those crazy demon believers, the rest of the people are no different from these sentient beings." ”

"Those who are rich drive them to profit; Those with a good name will drive them to work; Lustful, Xu Zhiji's concubine beauty; greedy for life and afraid of the dead, with bone needles to force them; Gather them again with great righteousness. ”

"Even if there are people with different aspirations, I can make an example of chickens and monkeys, and I am not afraid that I will not be able to subdue these guys."

Li Mochou couldn't help but relax when he heard him so confident, and couldn't help but smile and said: "You guy is the truth, but don't just talk on paper, and come to me to cry when the time comes." ”

Lu Nianchou couldn't help but turn dark, and said helplessly: "Master, are you so disoptimistic about your man?" ”

Li Mochou couldn't help but giggle, and even Hong Lingbo on the side smiled.

Lu Nianchou shook his head and didn't say more, in fact, with his current strength, although the world is big, except for a few people such as Guo Jing and the Golden Wheel Dharma King, under heaven and man, he can be called invincible.

The reason why he wants to control Mingjiao is not for those so-called masters, but because of its pervasive foundation rooted in the people.

If you can bring Mingjiao and the Northern Army into your hands, one of them is rooted in the people, proficient in espionage and assassination; And the Northern Army can be used as the foundation to sweep the world.

As long as you can find a place to build a foundation, and then win the hearts of the people in the north with the righteousness of fighting Mongolia, the future can be expected.

Lu Nianchou had an idea in his heart, although he didn't have a more detailed plan for where to take root in the future and how to seize the world, but at least he already had a short-term goal.

Seeing the two women in front of him smiling brightly, his eyes dimmed, and he said faintly: "It seems that I have been too kind to you recently, so that you dare to be presumptuous to your husband." ”

"If I don't clean you up, I'm afraid you don't know what a husband is called a wife."

Before he finished speaking, the whole person had already rushed over directly, and in an instant, he hugged the little waists of the two women, and his body flashed, and he had already arrived on the couch.

"Bastard thing, what do you want to do......"

"Senior brother...... Don't! ”

Lu Nianchou's two arms were like copper cast iron, locking the two of them tightly, no matter how they struggled, they didn't move, and a wicked smile appeared on their faces.

"Before, in the wilderness, you didn't want to, but now you can't help it."

"If you can't even clean up the two of you, what else can I talk about fighting the world?!"

He laughed loudly, and with a wave of his sleeves, the palm wind knocked down the gauze tent hanging on the copper hook.

"It's still broad daylight, you bastard." Li Mochou's voice was a little angry.

"So what, if anyone dares to mess with my good deeds, I will screw his head." Lu Nianchou was unmoved.

In the end, it is a person who practices martial arts, and the softness and tenacity of the body are not comparable to ordinary people at all.

In this way, of course, there is a different difference.

Li Mochou has broken through the innate in the end, and has begun to cultivate Jin Ding Gong again, and he has long been reborn, different from ordinary people.

As for Lu Nianchou, he almost became a Taoist Dharma Body in one step, and with the abundant yang energy in his body, he was like a demon.

The two of them met each other in chess, but they hurt Hong Lingbo, and he was not let go until he fainted.

Until the sun sets and the moon rises.

Lu Nianchou rose up and pulled Li Mochou to the window.

"You're crazy, what if someone sees you?"

"Then slap him to death!"

Lu Nianchou was extremely domineering, and killed her directly from behind.

Li Mochou gritted his teeth and didn't dare to make a sound at all.

waited until the sky was almost dawn, and Lu Nianchou taught her to play the blue sea tide song with a long flute, and then she fell asleep contentedly.

After Lu Nianchou fell asleep, Li Mochou, who was originally drowsy, had some insomnia.

After coming down from Huashan, she found that her martial arts had fallen into a bottleneck.

The original pursuit of the Ice Soul Nakedness Gong was to have a clear heart, so as to fit the way of frost between heaven and earth, and take it as the foundation, baptize the soul, sharpen martial arts, and pursue the avenue of heaven and man.

But since that night in Huashan, she has not only lost her body, but even her soul has fallen deeper and deeper, and it is difficult to extricate herself at all.

Although it seems that she is still as strong as before on weekdays, in fact, Lu Nianchou's words and deeds, every move, affect her.

At this point, it has become almost impossible to forget Lu Nianchou and make his soul more complete.

Therefore, her martial arts have also fallen into a bottleneck, and it is difficult to make any progress.

Li Mochou looked at Lu Nianchou's handsome face in his sleep, and sighed slightly in his heart, "Wrongdoer, what can you do for me?" ”

Although Lu Nianchou is the leader today, because it is difficult to make progress in her cultivation, she also has indescribable irritability and depression, so she is not so resistant, but wants to forget those troubles.

"If I can't break through the heavens, where should I go? Although the rivers and lakes are big, there is no place for me. ”

"Do you still have to compete with your own apprentice and that little girl in Jiaxing, Jiangnan for your own disciple?"

Li Mochou was so proud, the reason why he chose to leave was because he wanted to break through the realm of heaven and man.

She didn't know about the existence of celestial beings in the past, but since she met Wang Chongyang, her heart and pursuit have changed drastically.

The realm of heaven and man has become her only goal.

In this way, when Lu Nianchou also breaks through the heavens, the two of them can live in both habitats and will not be disturbed by the world.

She didn't bother to fight with Cheng Ying and Hong Lingbo at all.

He only needs to break through the heavens, and Lu Nianchou will eventually return to his side.

But now, the dreams of heaven and man are shattered!

Do you want to be jealous in the backyard like those worldly women and please men?

"In that case, you might as well kill me with a sword!"
