Feng Jingquan is suspicious by nature, he is different from his brother Feng Jing'an, the first emperor and Li Jianshi are out of the same family, the two have a deep brotherly relationship, Li Jian naturally will not have two hearts, and Feng Jingquan has never liked Li Jian, and later because he was worried that his merits would be high, he supported the army and respected himself, and named him a king with a different surname who violated the ancestral system, and robbed him of his military power in disguise. And young generals like Jiang Zongbao have never experienced the era of peace in the world during the reign of Emperor Qing, so naturally they can't understand the meaning of the Great Liang Iron Cavalry World, because Feng Jingquan never doubts the loyalty of such young generals, and of course, because of their age, they will also have doubts about their ability to lead troops. And veterans like Fan Yuhu and Wei Dazhuang, although they both serve Daliang, they only recognize Li Jian in their hearts instead of him Feng Jingquan, once Li Jian and his faction monopolize power, after the war is over, how to deal with this group of people will become the top priority. Thinking of this, Feng Jingquan couldn't help but have a headache, but the war was tight, so he had to take one step at a time.

On the other side, after Li Mi walked out of Wangjiang Tower first, he frowned, although Xuanyuan Ce had handed over the roster of spies in Liang State to himself just now, but after so many years, it is not known how much loyalty these people still have left, not to mention whether these people have been dug up by Liang Guo and rebelled, even if they don't, can they make these people carefully and willingly surrender by virtue of Xuanyuan Ce's proud protégé status?

Seeing this, Ou Yunxi asked, "Sir, things are not going well?" ”

Li Mixian shook his head and said: "The family teacher did not embarrass me, but handed over all the spy networks in his hands to me before, but I really don't have the confidence to fully convince these people to be used by me, and it is extremely dangerous to go to Liang Kingdom, so I hesitate whether to take this trip." ”

Ou Yunxi asked in a deep voice: "If you don't go, what will be the result?" ”

Li Mixian sighed: "The island king is a person who practices martial arts, and he probably doesn't care much about the dispute between Liang and Chu. What the king of the island doesn't know is that there is a peerless strategist in the Liang country, whose wisdom is far better than mine, and he can almost be compared with the family teacher. When the family teacher assisted the first emperor in the early years, he had laid a huge network of relationships within the Liang State, and with these spies to transmit information, he had some chance of winning, but this trip was too dangerous, and he hesitated to put his life on the gambling table. ”

Ou Yunxi said with a smile: "As long as Mr. is on the gambling table, even if the road ahead is a sea of swords and fires, I will accompany Mr. to go together." ”

Li Mi hurriedly refused: "How can this make this go to Liang Guojiu to die for a lifetime, and I must not let the island king accompany me on an adventure." ”

Ou Yunxi said loudly: "Ou Mou still said the same thing, if there is no Mr., now I will still be on Yunxi Island, isolated from the world, where can I still have the opportunity to see this world, Mr. has the grace of knowing me, and helps me achieve supreme martial arts, so why not give this life to Mr." ”

Li Mixian's heart warmed, and nodded: "The island king is righteous, Mi Xian has a sense of guilt, and after the entire Central Plains is conquered, Mi Xian will retire to the mountains and forests, be a cow and a horse, and repay the island king!" ”

But it was said that Sikong Li and the two of them came to Dachu Zhuguan City non-stop. It is said that the small is hidden in the wilderness, and the big is hidden in the city, unlike other sects, Tai'a Sword Sect is located in the downtown of Zhuguan City, and its reputation is far and wide, and the two of them do not have much trouble to arrive.

Everyone in the Sword Sect got the news early, and Shi Lei personally greeted him at the door, and Sikong Li and the others followed Shi Lei into the Sword Sect, and the disciples in the door all wore swords, and the sword was full of energy. Sikong smiled sharply: "Who said that I have no sword in Da Chu, and there is a Tai'a Sword Sect, even if I am not much better than Liang Guo." Sect Master Shi, now that the sword god Cao Qiong has decided to seal the sword, he will not ask about the affairs of the rivers and lakes, and His Excellency is the first person in the Great Chu Sword Dao. Of the ten grandmasters on the list, three of them use swords, and it depends on when the sect master can pull these three off their horses. ”

Shi Lei said in a deep voice: "Shi Mou's little bit of Taoism, how can he afford the name of the first person in the Great Chu Sword Dao, don't say that it is the new and old generations of sword gods, but compared with Li Xian of Liang State and Mo Zifeng of Yan Kingdom, they are far behind, and they dare not be delusional." ”

While speaking, the three of them walked into the inner hall, and Sikong Li saw whether Shi Lei glanced at Yun Wanke on the side, so he explained with a smile: "This is the daughter of the sect master of Tayun Mansion, one of the four little grandmasters on the list, Yun Wanke, now the two sects of Tayun Mansion and Shenji Cave have been returned to the Great Chu Imperial Court, and Miss Yun is a guest appointed by His Majesty. ”

Yun Wanke stood up, leaned over and said, "The little girl has seen Sect Master Shi. Shi Lei also smiled in return.

After greeting Yun Wanke, Shi Lei frowned and asked, "Shi got the news a few days ago, and he also knew the intention of the military god this time, Shi only wanted to know, if I lead all my disciples to submit to the imperial court, what are the benefits to my Sword Sect?" What do you need me to do on the battlefield after that? ”

Sikong smiled sharply: "Sect Master Shi is quick to talk, and he will have something to say directly." Now although Liang Chu has temporarily ceased war, in fact, both sides are waiting for a suitable opportunity, Liang has a lot of land and resources, and there are many talents, so he naturally has the confidence to wait for my Da Chu to take the lead in starting a war, and then see the move. At the same time, the king of Chu is also secretly accumulating strength, stepping on the cloud mansion, Shenji Cave, Tai'a Sword Sect three sects are one of the key links, my Great Chu is subject to the territory, sooner or later I need to take the initiative to attack, the Sword Sect disciples have a total of one hundred and eight people, and now my Great Chu has promoted a total of twelve generals to defend the city, and the sect master and the disciples under the door need to stand in front of these twelve people to avoid being attacked by the Liang State, the main general died before the battle, which greatly affected the morale of the whole army, and the Sword Sect has a total of one hundred and nine swords, and it is an invincible siege weapon in wartime, As for what the sect master cares about, there is a question first, dare to ask what the sect master wants in this life? ”

Shi Lei thought for a while, and then said: "Although it is a little wishful thinking, but as the god of war said, Shi also wants to win the pinnacle of swordsmanship, no matter how bad it is, I also want the world to know that I am Taia Sword Sect, and know that there is a swordsman named Shi Lei in this world." ”

Sikong smiled sharply: "What's so difficult about this, as long as the Central Plains is laid, why can't the sect master be famous in the world." Moreover, the battlefield is the place where people can be trained the most, and only between life and death can there be a breakthrough in martial arts cultivation. ”

Shi Lei nodded: "What the military god said is reasonable, Shi promised you, from today onwards, the Tai'a Sword Sect will return to the imperial court, and the disciples under the sect will be sent by the military god at will, but Shi Mou has a word first, if there is an emergency that is critical to his life, the disciples of the Tai'a Sword Sect will put their own safety first, and hope that the military god will understand." ”

Sikong said sharply: "I promised Sect Master Shi that you only need to do your best in everything, and you don't need to fight to the death, the swordsman is already a green shirt and a sword, indulging in the rivers and lakes, and there is no need to shroud the horse leather on the battlefield." But before that, there was still a small request under him, and he hoped that the Stone Sect Master would be fulfilled. ”

Shi Lei smiled: "The god of war, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

"I heard that there is a strange disciple under your sect, named Ye Qingyu, who can make the world's first sword Tai'a willing to recognize the master, and I want to see this son with my own eyes, I don't know if it is convenient for the sect master?"

Speaking of Ye Qingyu, Shi Lei had a headache, sighed, and said: "This son is born stupid, his mind is still deficient compared to ordinary people, but he can't get Tai'a to recognize the master, Shi Mou has also explored this son's qi, and he didn't intend to hide it, but he is not talented. I thought that with the nourishment of Tai'a Sword Qi, it could help him open his mind, but I never thought that five years have passed, and this son is still an idiot. Don't hide it from the god of the army, although Shi included this son in the door, but this person is difficult to take on the big responsibility, unable to succeed the sect master, and many disciples are dissatisfied, and it is indispensable to find him on weekdays, but Tai'a is full of sword energy, and he has the same mind as the sword master, even if he is Shi's most proud disciple Lin Jianxing, he can't get anything cheap. I don't know why the god of war is so concerned about this son alone? ”

Sikong smiled sharply: "I only learned these anecdotes from Miss Yun today, this son seems to be stupid, but he can make the Divine Sword willing to admit the Lord and submit, there must be something outstanding, Tai'a Jian has followed the White Lotus Sword Immortal for many years, and he is already psychic, and the Lord of the Stone Sect knows that Cao Qiong, who is as strong as the sword god, has been the first person in the sword in three hundred years, and he has not been able to take away the Tai'a Sword from here." This son has a great opportunity, unparalleled in the world, and in the next moment, he is itchy and wants to see him. ”

Shi Lei sighed: "I can't imagine that the number one sword in the world has now fallen into the hands of an idiot, maybe the military god is right, Shi Mou's disciple really has something extraordinary, but Shi's vision is not enough, I can't see it, please wait a while, Shi will send someone to bring the apprentice." ”

Not long after, a disciple ran in in a panic, ignoring the number of courtesies, and shouted loudly: "Master, that freak surnamed Ye is here!" ”

When Shi Lei heard this, his face was displeased, although in the sect, most disciples would privately call Ye Qingyu a freak, but after all, in front of two outsiders, the ugliness of the family should not be publicized, but fortunately, Sikong Li did not show any disdain, stood up, and stared at the door.

I saw a handsome-looking young man, but he was dressed sloppily, his weed-like hair was casually coiled on his head, his steps were frivolous, and he walked in with a smirk. And the divine sword psychic, flying around the side of the young man, the sword intent soared to the sky, seeing Sikong Li, the momentum of the Tai'a sword went to the next level, and instantly burst out with high battle intent.

Sikong Li was pleasantly surprised, he only exuded a little bit of true qi, Tai'a Jian sensed it, the power of the divine sword, it can be seen, and what is even more amazing is that this young man has any outstanding features, he can be regarded as the sword master by the divine sword. Sikong Li jumped forward, his five fingers were like hooks, and he grabbed Ye Qingyu, who was born with a blocked mind, and in the face of a strong enemy, he was still just smirking.

Although it is the world's No. 1 divine sword, and then there is spirituality, in the final analysis, it is still a dead thing, after all, Sikong Li is the third top master in the world, and after a while, he has firmly held the Tai'a sword in his hand, let it cry, and even regard the fierce sword qi in the sky as nothing.

Seeing this, Ye Qingyu suddenly rushed towards Sikong Li as if he was crazy, punching and kicking this Great Chu Army God who was above 10,000 people under one person, and roared in his mouth: "You let it go!" You've got a pain in it! "Although he has the true qi of protecting the body, Ye Qingyu's fists and feet can't touch Sikong Li at all, but the dignified martial arts master is entangled with a young man, and he loses his demeanor. Luck forced Ye Qingyu back, threw the Tai'a sword to the ground, and said coldly: "Give it back to you!" ”

Ye Qingyu ignored the sore buttocks, hurriedly rushed forward, hugged Tai'a Jian tightly in his arms, his eyes were hazy with tears, and he kept stroking the sword body, it was strange to say, Tai'a Sword was extremely sharp, and he was held in the arms of the young man, but he was unscathed, and the sword body trembled slightly, and let out bursts of whimpering, as if responding to the young man.

The more Sikong Li looked at it, the more surprised he became, and his mind was so powerful that he wrapped Ye Qingyu in it, and after a while, he was amazed, and exclaimed: "This young man can have such a clear sword heart at a young age, and he is the same as Cao's predecessors, born with a sword fetus, but it is a pity that he is born with one less trick point than ordinary people, so that the veins are blocked, which leads to the inability to practice. ”

Ye Qingyu turned a deaf ear to such a high evaluation, but just hugged the Tai'a Sword in distress, as if caressing its wounds for it, and even glared angrily at Sikong Li, the culprit, from time to time.

Shi Lei was also secretly surprised, but he didn't expect that the good thoughts that came up temporarily back then turned out to be a treasure, and he hugged his fist at Sikong and said: "The bad guy has no intention of ramming the military god, and I hope that the military god has a lot of it, don't be like the bad guy." ”

Sikong Li waved his hand and said loudly: "Please rest assured that Sect Master Shi will not be unable to get along with a child in the next place, and the purity of this son's sword heart has not been seen in his life, so I am not a swordsman, so I dare not open the veins for him, so as not to spoil this pure sword heart." ”

Shi Lei is also embarrassed: "Although Shi is a swordsman, but his qualifications are mediocre, he has such a treasure and does not know it, it is really a teacher in vain, rather than wasting such a genius in the hands of Shi, it is better to ask the military god to take the apprentice with him, with the help of the military god, this son will be able to rise to the top in the future, and it will be spread out in the future, and Shi's face will also be bright." ”

In fact, the moment Sikong Li saw Ye Qingyu, he already had a plan to accept apprentices, but unfortunately although his cultivation is high, he knows nothing about swordsmanship, and he really doesn't want this good seedling to be destroyed in his hands, but after thinking about it, he has a plan, so he said: "Don't hide it from the stone sect master, what your Excellency said is exactly what I want, but I can't understand the way of the sword, this son is very talented, and I plan to hand him over to the sword god Cao Qiong to teach, I don't know what the sect thinks?" ”

Shi Lei was overjoyed and nodded: "This is very good, this is really a great opportunity for the apprentice." ”

Sikong smiled sharply and said, "Since Sect Master Shi agrees, I will ask this young man about his wishes later." He turned his head to look at Ye Qingyu and asked, "Boy, can you feel the aura of Tai'a Sword?" ”

Ye Qingyu was still angry about the incident that had just "injured" Tai'a Jian, and said angrily when he heard this: "What's the matter with you!" You say bad guy, I don't have the ability now, one day I will let Tai'a kill you! ”

Although Sikong Li showed full preference for Ye Qingyu and tolerated him in every way, Shi Lei on the side was terrified, you must know that in the territory of Chu State, who does not know the prestige of this great Chu military god, this person not only killed countless enemies on the battlefield, but also is the third peerless master in the world, if he really annoys this person, I am afraid that the entire Sword Sect will not be enough to accompany the funeral. Fortunately, Sikong Li was not angry, but looked at Ye Qingyu with a smile, and said softly: "Boy, you misunderstood, I didn't hurt Tai'a Jian, but I just want to see how far you can sense with Shenjian as a kid, and now I'm talking to you about this, I'm afraid you won't understand, I just ask you, if I have a way to let you and Tai'a Sword become one, are you willing to go with me?" ”

Although Ye Qingyu was closed-minded, he was not really stupid, and sneered when he heard the words: "Human and sword are one? ! If you really have the ability, Tai'a will obediently listen to you just now, and how can she kill you as soon as she sees you. ”

Sikong Li didn't talk nonsense, snatched the Tai'a Sword from Ye Qingyu's hand, and wiped his fingers on the sword, and the divine sword shone brightly, lighting up the whole room.

Shi Lei exclaimed: "The military god has good means, I admire it." ”

Ye Qingyu is a teenager after all, seeing his beloved Tai'a Sword shining, he clapped his hands and smiled: "Awesome, amazing, can you teach me this skill?" ”

Sikong Li returned the Tai'a Sword to Ye Qingyu, and said with a smile: "The small skill of carving insects is not worth mentioning. You are very talented, I can't teach you, but I can help you find a more powerful master, are you willing to go with me now? ”

Ye Qingyu nodded, and said ignorantly: "I am willing, as long as you help me find a powerful master, I will no longer let Tai'a trouble you." Then he looked down at Tai'a Jian in his arms, his eyes were gentle, "Tai'a, you are also willing." The sword god moved slightly, as if responding to Ye Qingyu.

After making up his mind, Ye Qingyu walked in front of Shi Lei, knelt down, and kowtowed three times respectfully, thanking him for the grace of a meal back then, if it wasn't for Shi Lei's rescue, I was afraid that Ye Qingyu would have frozen to death in that cold winter. Then he urged Sikong to say, "Let's go quickly." ”

Sikong Li said goodbye to Shi Lei, and after the two agreed on the place where their disciples went, the three of them left the sect.

Yun Wanke has always been a cold sidewitness to what happened in the Tai'a Sword Sect just now, and now looking at Ye Qingyu, who is traveling with him, he is even more displeased, he is also a young junior, he is the daughter of Tayun Mansion, and he is one of the four little grandmasters on the list, but Sikong Li's attitude towards the two is the difference between Yun Ni. Thinking of this, Yun Wanke felt aggrieved for a while, pouting and sullen.

Sikong Li looked at it in his eyes, and he didn't say anything to comfort him, but secretly thought to himself, Senior Cao, if you see this young man, you will be very happy.
