At dawn, Ning Yi came back.

A few days ago, Ning Yi personally escorted Zhao Lianggeng out of Shimen County, entered Jingzhou, crossed the river, and went to Jiangling County, Jiangling Prefecture, located on the north side of the river, the two places are more than 300 miles apart.

After returning safely to Jiangling Mansion, Zhao Lianggeng promised not to pursue the matter again. Whether the promise can be kept, the key lies in the strength of both sides, if Li Xuandu and the others are just ordinary people in the rivers and lakes, Zhao Lianggeng can turn his face immediately after getting out of trouble, but Li Xuandu and they are not scattered people in the rivers and lakes, with the backing of Zhengyi Sect and Wudao Sect behind them, it is easy to turn their faces, and it will be difficult to clean up the mess.

The rivers and lakes are not only fighting and killing, but also human feelings, two people who have never known each other before they start, they must ask each other where they came from, think about their own back roads, and say that they should take precautions and talk more before they start, it is better than causing trouble after they start and then talk more. The same is true of Zhao Lianggeng's matter, the rules were set in advance, Li Xuandu and others guaranteed that Zhao Lianggeng's life was worry-free, Zhao Lianggeng promised not to pursue retaliation afterwards, if Zhao Lianggeng did not follow the rules, then don't blame Zhang Jingxiu and Taiyun for not paying attention to the rules.

Because of this, when Qin Su first arrived in Shimen County, he didn't see Ning Yi. Now that Ning Yi is back, Li Xuandu naturally wants to introduce Qin Su.

Qin Su has long heard of Ning Yi's name, after all, it is one of the "three swords" of the evil way that is as famous as Qin Qing and Song Zheng, and there are also the "three swords" of the righteous path corresponding to it, respectively, the great sword immortal Li Daoxu, Cihangzong Bai Xiushang, and Zhang Haishi, "The sea is dry and the stone is rotten", with the "three swords" compared with the "three swords", Song Zheng is not defeated by Li Daoxu, Qin Qing is slightly better than Bai Xiu, Zhang Haishi is far better than Ning Yi, or the righteous way is better.

However, Ning Yi is not Zhang Haishi's opponent, it does not mean that Ning Yi is weak, Li Xuandu was able to narrowly defeat Ning Yi at the peak, and over the years, Li Xuan was not just as simple as standing still, but constantly striding back, but Ning Yi was all the way forward, from the realm of heaven and man to the realm of heaven and man immeasurable, between this advance and retreat, the gap between the two became the moat between the Shaoxuan List and the Taixuan List. At this time, Li Xuandu is almost back to the top, but he is no longer Ning Yi's opponent, unless Li Xuandu reaches the top of the Heaven and Man Realm, he has the qualifications to compete with Ning Yi.

Qin Su had heard Li Xuan tell the story of him and Ning Yi grabbing the knife in the northwest, but he didn't know when the two of them became friends again, and secretly wondered if this was not a fight and didn't know each other? However, Ning Yi's deeds, Qin Su still heard of it, it can be said that among the infatuated lovers on the rivers and lakes, Ning Yi can at least be ranked among the top three, women's thinking is never very different from that of men, in Qin Su's opinion, Li Xuan can have a relationship with an infatuated person like Ning Yi, close to Zhu Zhechi, naturally excellent.

Li Xuandu and Qin Su came to visit Ning Yi's residence, and at this time, Ning

Because Yi was preparing to leave this place, it was because he was packing up his room, in fact, Ning Yi's luggage was not much, but there were many books in the room, not the secret books of the exercises in the rivers and lakes, but the classics of Confucianism. According to the rules of Confucianism, the reader dries books several times a year, and Ning Yi has turned out the books at the bottom of his box since he is no longer immersed in the past.

Seeing the two coming, Ning Yi stopped what he was doing, patted the dust on his body, and took the initiative to greet him.

After Li Xuandu greeted Ning Yi, he said, "I'll introduce Brother Ning, this is Qin Su and Qin Baijuan of the Forgetful Sect." Then he said to Qin Su: "Susu, this is Mr. Ning who I have mentioned to you many times." ”

Qin Su didn't use the fist salute of the Jianghu people, but made a blessing salute: "I've seen Mr. Ning." ”

Since the empress, in addition to entering the palace to worship God, women do not bow down and worship, but change to Wanfu ceremony, at this time Qin Su salutes with Wanfu Ceremony instead of fist salute, indicating that she does not intend to get acquainted with Ning Yi as a Jianghu person, but as a friend of Li Xuandu and Ning Yi.

Ning Yi was slightly stunned, and immediately understood, and he didn't need to hug his fists to salute, but instead returned the salute by the scholar, and said with a smile: "I have heard the name of Miss Qin for a long time, and the people in the rivers and lakes call her Miss Qin." Recently, I heard that the Purple Mansion Sword Immortal betrayed his master for the sake of Miss Qin, and his words were so conclusive that people had to believe that today I finally saw the main deity. ”

Qin Su's face was slightly red and said, "Mr. Ning, don't listen to the nonsense of good people on the rivers and lakes, there is no such thing." ”

Ning Yi laughed: "There are indeed many good people on the rivers and lakes, but most of them will not fabricate them out of thin air, but chase after the wind and shadows. ”

Qin Su has nothing to say at this time, if you want to say that this matter has nothing to do with her, it really has nothing to do with it, if you want to say that it has something to do with her, it can barely be regarded as having something to do with it, after all, it is a well-known thing that she was invited by Li Daoxu to Penglai Island as a guest, and it cannot be refuted.

Fortunately, Ning Yi is a square person, that is, he will laugh and joke in front of Li Xuandu, and he will not keep chasing after him in words, which is annoying.

After the ceremony, Ning Yi put away a few books, vacated two chairs, and invited the two to sit down, he simply sat on an embroidered pier, shook his sleeves, and said: "In the past two days, I accompanied Zhao Lianggeng to Jiangling, and talked about the government with this minister along the way, and I felt a lot, and now the court is rotten to the bones, and it has to be broken and established, but who can do this?"

Li Xuandu said: "It won't be us who are martial artists. ”

The world thinks that the masters of the rivers and lakes can be a thousand, so they think that the martial artists of the rivers and lakes have the ability to change the world, and think that the emperor must also be a top master to dominate the world, such as

If the emperor is a three-year-old child, or an ordinary person who is powerless, he cannot rule the world.

In fact, if we have this kind of thinking, it is like someone asking, "Why don't those generals who hold military power dare not rebel?" Why are they robbed of military power by an edict from the emperor? In fact, the reason is the same: the reason why the general does not dare to rebel is because there are other people who hold military power to restrain him, and the various commanders and generals actually restrain each other.

In the same way, the same is true for the martial arts of the rivers and lakes, the masters of the rivers and lakes cannot resist the imperial court, because there are other masters of the rivers and lakes to restrain them, unless everyone works together, otherwise they will always be divided and ruled by the imperial court, and some of them will be co-opted and suppressed, as long as a pattern of mutual restraint is formed, and various interests are entangled, it is like a spider web, connecting everyone together, everyone is in the net, no one can do whatever they want, and it doesn't matter whether the person who holds the highest power has the supreme cultivation or not. Because the person sitting in the emperor's position is not just a person, but represents a whole, including civil and military officials, eunuchs Qingluanwei, clan nobles, and even countless gentry and rivers and lakes, the power does not come from above, but from below, only by the support of these people, the emperor is the emperor, and has power, and there is no absolute relationship with the level of the emperor's own cultivation.

Under the current circumstances, it is unrealistic to forcibly change the pattern of the world by relying on the personal courage of the martial arts of the rivers and lakes, and no matter how strong a person is, it is impossible to be the enemy of the world. Besides, even if he is a master of the immortal realm, he can't stop a million masters with a single sword, and the manpower is sometimes poor.

Ning Yi looked at Qin Su and said, "Miss Qin was born in the Qin Valve of Liaodong, I heard that the Qin Valve has vigorously supported Zhao Zheng, the governor of Liaodong, over the years, I wonder if Miss Qin knows the details?"

Qin Su hesitated for a moment and said: "This is true, my father and Zhao Butang have known each other for many years, and they have a very good relationship, and I think that Zhao Butang can do extraordinary things. ”

Zhao Butang here is naturally talking about Zhao Zheng, the governor of Liaodong, not Zhao Lianggeng, the governor of Jingchu.

"What an extraordinary thing. Ning Yi stroked his palms and said: "Today, when the smoke is everywhere and the hunger is in the wilderness, it is an extraordinary time, and extraordinary things must be done at an extraordinary time, it seems that Mr. Qin thinks that this Zhao Butang can help the world." ”

When it came to this kind of big thing, Qin Su didn't dare to make a rash assertion, so he didn't speak.

Li Xuandu said: "I am going to Liaodong at the end of the year, and I happen to visit this Zhao Butang, Brother Ning may as well go with me, and you will know at first sight." ”

Now it is the middle of the sixth month, to stay here, let alone July, and then go to the Zhengyi Zong Dazhen Mansion in Wuzhou to watch the ceremony, one back and forth, that is, in August and September, at this time to accompany Qin Su to return to Liaodong, from Wuzhou to Liaodong, not to mention that there are more than 8,000 miles away, in terms of normal speed, how to take two months of work, just to catch up with a New Year.

Ning Yi thought for a moment and nodded in response: "That's very good." ”
