Li Congwen looked at Yang Xiaoyang, whose back was stained with blood, and wanted to catch up, but was stopped by Lao Chen.

Lao Chen shook his head and said, "This is Yang Gongzi's inner demon, and he can only rely on himself. ”

Li Congwen looked up at the sky, and he didn't know when a bright moon had quietly hung up, and the clouds after the rain couldn't cover the bright moonlight at all.

Yang Xiaoyang came to a tree and sat down, letting the short sword stick into his waist.

He opened the box, and the smile on his face became brighter, "Little Rabbit, should we go and help the grass?"

Xiao Di flew to Yang Xiaoyang's shoulder, shook his braids, and puffed out his cheeks angrily, "Hmph, I'm going to chop all the bad guys to death, don't let the grass go, the grass is too pitiful." ”

Yang Xiaoyang laughed: "Okay, let's go kill all the bad guys!"

Xiao Di reluctantly entered the box under Yang Xiaoyang's repeated assurances, and let Xiao Yang do it for himself gloriously.

Yang Xiaoyang carried the box on his back, his aura was running at full strength, and he ran along the path leading to Chang'an City in the mountains.

Half an hour later, I saw the city wall, and I rushed eastward for half an hour, and I stopped when I saw the three words Wudong City.

Yang Xiaoyang let out a sigh, wiped the sweat from his forehead, avoided the sight of the armor on the city wall, and jumped over the city wall in two steps.

There is a curfew in Wudong City, and there are only a few Wuhou patrolling back and forth on the road.

The city was quiet, Yang Xiaoyang spread his senses, and vaguely found a very large courtyard not far away.

The bleeding on my waist has stopped, so I don't have to worry about leaving marks.

Yang Xiaoyang came to a tree on the edge of the courtyard, saw the plaque that said Fufu, and probed his divine sense into the mansion, and found that more than a dozen people were gathering in a lobby.

He tried his best to use his aura to cover his tracks, and quietly approached from the eaves and heard a conversation coming from inside the hall.

"The head of the family, now that the remnants of the Fu Xiuyun party have been cleaned up, it's just that the imperial court suddenly announced the termination of the chivalrous order, what should I do?"

"The chivalrous order was terminated, and many people in the family had already entered the court as officials, and there were many more shops in the clan than before.

If it weren't for the pedantic nature of the eldest brother, the family would have been twice as rich. It's just that Fusheng, this kid is still missing, and the old man is a little worried. ”

"The head of the family, no matter how talented Fu Sheng is, he is just a junior, and he is still alone. You can deal with him alone, you don't have to take it personally. ”

"That's right, I'm afraid that he will do some tricks, which will make people unguardable. ”

"Master of the family, don't you know that kid's temperament, he looks kind, but he is actually more proud than anyone else, and if he wants to take revenge when the time comes, he must be above board. ”

"Indeed, if this son comes to the door, the old man will let him pierce under the spear. ”

After hearing this, Yang Xiaoyang felt a little angry and bloody, and he couldn't help but think of the appearance of Qingcao being killed by these people, and took a deep breath.

"Who?" a loud shout came from inside the hall.

Yang Xiaoyang didn't expect to be discovered so quickly, but he didn't panic and jumped off the eaves and walked into the lobby.

Seeing that the person who came was a young Taoist, Fuxiu Cliff couldn't help but be a little puzzled, got up and hugged his fist at Yang Xiaoyang, and asked: "I think my family is not involved in your Daomen, I don't know what the Taoist is doing today to visit my family at night?"

The moonlight shines on the body, not cold, but warm.

Yang Xiaoyang pulled out his short sword from behind his waist, splashed blood and sprinkled it on the ground.

Although it hurts, it is far less than heartache.

Yang Xiaoyang smiled lightly and said quietly: "It's okay, just come and wait for the head." ”

...............................

An Yan twenty-three years, summer, Guanzhong.

Guanlong is the hinterland of the imperial court, and many wealthy families in Guanlong have people in high positions in the imperial court.

But Yang Qi knows that an official position is an official position, and a family is a family, and it cannot be confused.

Therefore, he asked Zuo Cheng Li Jinglan to go to the land of Guanlong to seek the assistance of the wealthy family.

Li Jinglan walked in civilian clothes in Chang'an City.

The summer in Chang'an City was extremely hot, and he was sweating profusely after taking two steps, so he wanted to find a shady place to rest.

He came to an alley, surrounded by low houses and courtyards, which seemed to be the place where poor families lived.

Li Jinglan was most familiar with this, so he wanted to find his family here to rest, so as to see what problems the poor family had to solve.

I didn't take two steps into the alley when I heard a scolding from a family.

"Your mother left early, your father and I are illiterate, all rely on martial arts to eat, you want to study, your father and I don't have the ability to please Mr. That's my fault, but you don't learn my sword skills, what do you eat after I die!

Besides, now that the times are in turmoil, as long as you learn my sword skills by sixty percent, you will have no opponents on the battlefield, and you won't have to worry about not having enough to eat in the future.

"Dad, now that Xiliang has been decided, Northern Xinjiang has been the most solid backing of the imperial court since ancient times.

Now that Beirong and Northern Xinjiang have begun to trade, there will be no more swords in a few decades.

Yongzhou is sandwiched between Xiliang and Northern Xinjiang, and the King of Liang and the King of the North will send troops to Yongzhou together with the imperial court at that time, and it is only a matter of time before King Yongzhou surrenders.

As long as Hanzhong is in the hands of the imperial court for one day, the king of Shu will not be able to compete for the world, and the court will be able to invite the king of Shu to send troops as long as he promises a small profit.

Then the army marched south and 100,000 iron cavalry from the north to the north to attack the remaining fiefdoms of the five kings, and the rebellion could be put down within ten years.

After the end of the war, the kings will inevitably surrender their military power, and the imperial court will definitely send people from the land of Guanlong to hand over the power of each fief.

At that time, if there is no enemy in the imperial court, it will definitely be re-governed, this is the opportunity of my generation, and now even if the military power is achieved, it will be taken back by His Majesty, and it will not be reused. ”

Li Jinglan nodded frequently at the door, and only knocked on the door when he heard the conversation stop.

Chen Shou calmed down, he was really angry with his son just now.

When he opened the door, he saw that he was an extraordinary middle-aged man, about thirty years old, wearing coarse linen clothes, and he was followed by a few retinues.

"Dare to ask your guest what's the matter?" Chen Shou asked with a frown, a little wary.

"In Xia Li Jinglan, just now the junior heard a debate and insights from your son outside the door, so he wanted to see him. Li Jinglan didn't plan to hide his identity, but he didn't say it explicitly, he felt that although this family seemed to be poor, it should not be simple, and he wanted to see if they could recognize it.

Chen Shou just smiled when he heard this, and led the person into the small courtyard.

"The old man's name is Chen Shou, this is the dog Chen Kang, just now it was just a dog's angry words, and the guests don't have to take it to heart. ”

Li Jinglan saw Chen Kang, who was about eleven years old, saluting him and still holding a knife in his hand, so he understood what was going on.

"Chen Kang, let me ask you, now that King Liang has surrendered but has not handed over his military power, why do you think he will hand it over in the future?"

Chen Kang blushed and whispered, "I don't know why I don't want King Liang's military power now, but I must hand it over in the future." ”

"Let me ask you again, how can you ensure that the remaining five kings will not join forces to take the imperial capital directly after the southern Xinjiang is pacified?"

Chen Shou frowned and thought for a while, and muttered: "Then it is necessary to lay heavy troops near the imperial capital, and at least one elite army will be required." I know, King Liang's military power will be recovered after the pacification of Yongzhou, and when attacking Yongzhou, I can also take the opportunity to observe whether King Liang still has different intentions, so this attack on the northern frontier of Yongzhou must have supported no less than 30,000 elite soldiers. ”

Li Jinglan laughed three times when he heard this, and then continued, "How did you, a poor family, learn about the situation in the world? Don't tell me that this is written in a book, I have read a book for two days, but you can't deceive me." ”

Chen Kang's lit eyes dimmed again, "It was my father who told me." ”

Li Jinglan was stunned for a moment, turned to Chen Shou and saluted, "It turns out that the seniors are the masters, and the younger ones are clumsy." ”

"The old man just heard about it on the rivers and lakes, and he is not a master. ”

"You can have such an opinion just based on the news of the rivers and lakes, and besides, I heard from my predecessors that you can be invincible on the battlefield with your six things, and you must not be an unknown person in the rivers and lakes, dare to ask the name of your predecessors?"

"The people in the rivers and lakes all call the old man a demon knife, and the old man thinks this name is good, so he accepts it with a cheeky face. ”

Li Jinglan was taken aback, the names of sword immortals, demon knives, and sharpening spears are known to everyone in the world, but he didn't expect that the old man in front of him who looked like an old man from a peasant family was a famous demon knife.

Li Jinglan saluted again and said respectfully: "Demon Dao senior, junior today I saw Ling Lang and love talent, I don't know if you can let me accept him as an apprentice?"

Chen Kang was a little reluctant when he heard this, and felt that this person was too young and must not have any college knowledge.

Chen Shou knew what his son was thinking as soon as he saw his expression, and said sharply: "The dignified Li Xiang wants to accept you as an apprentice, but you are not happy?

Both of them were stunned for a moment, and then they smiled, only Chen Shou sighed quietly.

In the future, what is wrong with being an idle general and spending his life in good health, he has to go to the ups and downs of officialdom. Then he shook his head, thinking that his son liked it.
