Chapter 55: The Gathering

A new chief came to the inner court.

On this day, as soon as he arrived at the shop, Li Yuan learned the news, but what made him stunned.

"The knife catcher is true, how can it be him?"

The afterglow swept past Yu Zhen, the knife catcher who reprimanded the apprentice in front of the courtyard gate, and Qin Xiong, who seemed to have just left after talking, Li Yuan secretly became vigilant in his heart.

After Fa Jiushan came back, he has been paying attention, and the reward for Nian Jiu has been raised to two hundred taels again, and almost half of the city guards are chasing the murderer in the city guards, and the mourning music of each family has been played for several days.

The knife catchers in the city have long since left.

This is true......

"Perhaps, he was also involved?"

Li Yuan was vigilant in his heart, but he didn't turn around and left, went to the inner courtyard as usual, and met the new master with the other apprentices.

Yu Zhen seemed to have forgotten him a long time ago, said a few words casually, and left with a yawn, it was still Yue Yunjin teaching the apprentice.

"Senior Brother Li, there will be a little in the inner city in four days, do you want to go with you?"

Wu Ming put down the stone grinder that was boiling his strength and walked over.

"Miss Lu's little time?"

Li Yuan's heart moved slightly, after Tang Tong left, Wang Gong met with him a few times, but he never mentioned this matter again.

"You know that, too?"

Wu Ming was slightly stunned, and then nodded:

"Elder Zhang told you, there are six places in our courtyard to worship in the Valley of Divine Soldiers next year, no, it's an assessment place."

"The master said it."

The two found a secluded place to talk, and Li Yuan was mostly asking, and Wu Ming replied.

"The Valley of the Divine Soldiers is a thousand-year-old faction, and all the cities and counties of the Dragon Mansion are all looking forward to their horses, and they are the real overlords."

When it comes to the Valley of Divine Soldiers, Wu Ming's eyes are full of reverence and yearning:

"The last time the Valley of Divine Soldiers opened the mountain gate, but it was decades ago, normally speaking, we are not qualified to enter the Valley of Divine Soldiers, this opportunity must not be missed."

Li Yuan thought about it and responded to Wu Ming's invitation.

He was also very curious about the Valley of the Divine Soldiers.

On the way back to the forging room, he inadvertently glanced at the corner of the martial arts arena, Niu Gui and Liu Qing were communicating in a whisper, and they dispersed when they saw him coming.

"These two?"

Li Yuan squinted slightly.

They are all apprentices in the middle court, even if they are scattered, the private relationship is not bad, but when you see him suddenly disperse?

"Is this a ghost in my heart?"

Thinking about Liu Qing's approach, it was almost before and after Qin Xiong was transferred, Li Yuan's heart was slightly cold.

The bear was already eyeing him......

Turning his mind around, Li Yuan didn't have the idea of startling the snake, and turned around and went to the forging room.

……

Li Yuan took three days off.

In the past three days, Li Yuan did not go to the forging shop, he was familiar with the new palm control at home, and he also rented a small courtyard in a nearby alley through the tooth shop.

Of course, I was in a hurry, and I paid a few more dollars in silver.

After that, I asked Li Lin to accompany him to buy some tables, chairs, bedding, etc., and was busy for three days before moving in.

"It's not like this to spend money when you have money, you have enough money to live in, so you have to move out."

At night, in the newly rented courtyard, after being full of wine and food, he was supported by Wang Juan, and Li Lin, who was a little drunk, was still complaining.

babbling about saving money, marrying a wife and having children.

"Okay, okay, listen to you, save a little."

Li Yuan coped with it and sent the second brother home, Li Yuan took a long detour, familiar with the streets and alleys of the firewood fishing workshop, and he had to go around it every day for the past three days.

"The last leopard fetus is easy to tendon pills!"

Li Yuan was a little reluctant, he was reluctant to buy the elixir of eleven taels, but he had to admit that the effect of this elixir was effective.

The tendons are one inch long and the strength is three points larger, which is the best elixir to assist in horizontal martial arts.

"Let's keep it for now."

Stuffing the pill back into the bottle, and stuffing the bottle into the Liuhe boots, Li Yuan raised his head and swallowed a blood pill, feeling the slight heat flow rising in his body, and started a military posture in the room.

With the medicinal power of the Leopard Fetus Yijin Pill, in just a few days, he found that his small blood and qi circulation had begun to move towards the large circulation.

"If the leopard fetus is enough, I feel that a large cycle can be formed in a few months at most, but it's a pity that ......"

After slowly pushing the positive and negative twenty-four styles, Li Yuan sweated profusely, and the blood and qi in his body were exhausted, so he had to swallow another blood pill.

This was repeated several times before it stopped late at night.

"It hasn't rained in ...... days"

Glancing at the moonlit and starry night sky, Li Yuan closed the doors and windows, undressed and fell asleep.

After a night without words, early the next morning, he went to the forging room as usual and followed Zhang Ben to learn the skills of quenching, tempering and polishing.

Towards noon, he put down his hammer and went out.

"Senior Brother Li, here!"

Wu Ming was already waiting outside the door, and Yue Yunjin, who had recovered a lot, was also there, nodding reluctantly, looking preoccupied.

The three of them headed towards the inner city, on the way, Yue Yunjin was silent, and Li Yuan asked about this gathering, he was very concerned about the Valley of Divine Soldiers.

However, Wu Ming didn't know much more than him, and the only useful thing was that Miss Lu's sister-in-law, who was said to be the inner disciple of the Divine Soldier Valley.

"Lu County's sister-in-law is also from the Valley of Divine Soldiers? It's really intricate......"

Li Yuan muttered in his heart.

The inner city is much more prosperous than the outer city, and at noon, the streets and alleys are filled with the aroma of wine and meat.

"A word restaurant."

Li Yuan looked up.

This restaurant is nine floors high, it is the highest building in the inner and outer city, it belongs to the 'word inn', the people who come and go are all rich, I heard that a meal will cost one or two taels of silver.

When he arrived here, Yue Yunjin was fine, Wu Ming was a little restrained, both of them had a good family background, but this was the first time he came.

"The three of you are here, please, Miss Lu has already ordered."

A guy stepped forward and led the way with a smile.

Li Yuan was not restrained, he looked at this restaurant with interest, the decoration was good, the decoration was not bad, and there were guys outside each private room who bowed their heads and waited.

"Brother Yue!"

As soon as he went up to the third floor, someone walked over, dressed in splendid and spacious, and greeted Yue Yunjin with a smile, and the latter squeezed out a smile on his face.

The young man was quite talkative, and after a few conversations, Li Yuan knew that this person was the county lieutenant of Neicheng, the son of Qiu Da's boss, named Liu Zheng.

"The breath is strong, the qi and blood are full, and it is also a masterpiece of qi and blood, which is more solid than Yue Yunjin?"

Li Yuan was not surprised.

As long as you get started with martial arts, from mastery to completion, the pills can keep up, and the lower bones can be piled up quickly.

There is no shortage of wealthy people in the inner city, and it is not uncommon for them to achieve great success.

But the real difficulty is not to accumulate blood and gas, but to break through internal strength.

"This is the fourth son of the county Cheng family, Liu Yunwu."

"Wen Yida, the third son of the county Cheng family......"

"Miss Wang's bookkeeper, Wang Peiyao, Miss Wang......"

……

Liu Zheng led the way into the private room and introduced the three of them.

In the private room, there were more than a dozen people, all of them glamorous, and it seemed that a few people from outside the city were a little discouraged.

'Really, there is no vain coming! ’

Li Yuan sighed in his heart, and glanced at Wang Gong and Zhao Xiaoming, whose faces were not very good-looking.

The young ladies in the inner and outer cities are gathered, and these two are not so outstanding, of course, it is different if they are replaced by the young ladies of Cao's shopkeeper's house.

The Cao family is not a small family.

"Sit down, everybody."

In the crowd, a woman spoke.

As soon as she spoke, the ladies in the private room fell silent.

Without asking, it can be known that this soft-spoken and delicate-looking young lady is the concubine of the county commander Lu Yunqing, Lu Bailing.

……

After some politeness, Li Yuan found a corner and sat down, next to Wang Gong, who had an ugly face.

"Well, this pastry is good, this fish is also very tender, tsk, honey water......"

The young ladies chatted energetically, and Li Yuan listened while tasting the food.

Especially honey water, he hadn't drunk sweet water in a long time.

Different from the apprentices in the outer city, the ladies and sons in this private room knew a lot, and they talked about a lot of things that were secret to Li Yuan at this time.

Nominally, the imperial court is the co-lord of the world, but in fact, in the Dragon Mansion, the Valley of Divine Soldiers is the sky.

This is different from the dynastic system in the previous life, Li Yuan has read a lot of books these days, and he knows the reason.

Universiade Taizu Pang Wenlong only raised troops at the age of seventy, and all the sects responded to the clouds, and the world was laid together, and the disciples of various sects have already penetrated into all aspects in more than a thousand years.

In the end, a pattern was formed in which Universiade established the country with force and ruled the world with sects.

"Similar to the division of the previous life? The difference is that the sect does not claim to be the king, but it can indeed influence the imperial court, and even control the imperial court......"

"Three thousand Divine Guards?"

"Dragon Mansion, the list of 100 martial arts?"
