Liran sat in the imperial study, where his father had sit, and thought that the man was sitting here and said to him, "No matter what, you must live to the end" and couldn't help but be a little stunned.

A sentence that I couldn't understand, at this time Liran understood how much expectation and helplessness it contained, and the facts seem to prove that Lihuang has always regarded Liran as the next heir to Lizhen.

Luoyang quickly recovered from this great battle, and except for those who unfortunately died, the losses were surprisingly small. And a large part of those who died turned out to be some families that had given Liran a lot of headaches, and Liran suddenly thought of the forbidden army and cultivators who had been scattered all over Luoyang City from the beginning.

Of course, the most surprising thing for Liran was that almost at the same time as the end of the war, the entire Luoyang was running extremely efficiently, reorganizing the household registration, compensating the casualties, purging those of unknown origin, and with the support of the old man Sima, he quickly promoted Liran to the position, everything seemed to have been arranged in advance, simple and rude and extremely efficient.

Of course, it can make Liran quickly gain a firm foothold, in addition to the support of Old Man Sima, the mountain chief of Luoyang Academy also rarely spoke out to support. You must know that the biggest weakness of leaving the country at this time is that there is no Longhu Mountain as a backer, although the mountain chief has been in Luoyang for decades, it can be said that he was born in Haoran Academy, and his voice at this time naturally represents a certain attitude of the Academy. Most of the other forces that originally had some ideas also died down when they saw this situation.

And what surprised everyone was that Longhu Mountain, which was originally thought to have completely collapsed, still had a legacy. I heard that the youngest gentleman shined in this battle, and he unconsciously made a breakthrough to become a great cultivator in the upper realm, so the young great cultivator has also ranked in the top three in the past hundred years, so the mountain chief of Luoyang feels quite sorry for missing such a good reading seedling.

At Han Ru's suggestion, Han Yi also left Luoyang with Wu Yong and went to Longhu Mountain to help renew the inheritance of Longhu Mountain, and everyone suddenly found out that the Han brothers and sisters were all from Longhu Mountain, and they were a little surprised and a little strange at the same time, it seems that the performance of the Han brothers and sisters in this accident is too low-key, and there is no sense of existence, but Han Ru has always maintained that tepid and lazy appearance, so that people can't guess his specific thoughts.

-------------------------------------

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, five days have passed.

Everything in Luoyang is finally back on track, and even compared with the previous dead silence, there is a feeling of being in ruins and thriving.

At this time, a group of people was saying goodbye at the city gate.

Perhaps because of this change, it is rare that the Luoyang City Gate is not as bloated as usual, and it seems a little deserted. Zhou Quan glanced at the few people who were saying goodbye, and quietly moved with some interest, silently walking towards the old table that accompanied Lao Guo through dozens of cold and summer, Lao Guo was no longer there, but Zhou Quan remembered that he owed him a pot of wine.

So Zhou Quan took out a pot of the best fifty-year-old osmanthus brew, put it down gently, and then shook his head a little self-deprecatingly and was about to turn around and leave.

"Lao Guo, he can't get used to this. ”

Although Lao Guo was no longer there, the table was not vacant, and a somewhat young but equally sloppy soldier sat in the original position of Lao Guo, dozing with half-squinted eyes like Lao Guo once was.

The soldier's nose moved slightly, and he opened his eyes a little dazedly, only to see the pot of good wine on the table, and there was a faint smell of extremely rich wine. Then he turned his head to look at Zhou Quan, sighed helplessly, and untied the wine jug that once belonged to Lao Guo from his waist and threw it to Zhou Quan.

Zhou Quan looked at the soldier with some surprise, his cultivation was extremely low and he could enter the threshold of cultivation, and his qualifications and talents were also mediocre, and he seemed to be a little puzzled how Lao Guo's stinky temper could leave his precious magic weapon to this soldier, and his expression was a little complicated and difficult to understand.

The soldier was also a little surprised, and said in his heart that you have taken the wine jug and still held the pestle, what are you doing? Could it be that you want to take the wine jug with you, that can't be, although it is not a valuable thing, it is the only thing left by Lao Guo.

Zhou Quan seemed to feel the soldier's surprise, in fact, the soldier didn't seem to hide his thoughts, and the surprise and suspicion on his face seemed to be hesitating whether to snatch the wine jug back.

Zhou Quan opened the wine jug expressionlessly, tilted his neck and poured a large sip of wine, an extremely spicy feeling rushed to his mind from the bottom up, even Zhou Quan, who had achieved a good practice, couldn't help but feel a little difficult to breathe, his face turned red, and it took a long time to ease up, so he frowned slightly and threw the wine jug back to the soldiers.

Seeing this, the soldier seemed to be a little satisfied, smiled very unkindly, and after catching the flask that was thrown back, he was even more satisfied, and he laughed out loud, and coughed a few times, but he didn't know whether he was suffocated or laughed hard, and his eyes were a little red.

Zhou Quan naturally wouldn't do anything because of this ridiculous laugh, ordinary people like this and cultivators are not in the same world at all, maybe after a few decades, this soldier will turn into a handful of loess, and it may even be shorter, and die early in an accident or illness, how can such a person be worthy of a great cultivator like Zhou Quan to waste his emotions for him?

Zhou Quan turned around expressionlessly, but frowned and asked as if he remembered something, "What's your name?"

The soldier was slightly stunned, but he shook his head with a wry smile, and said with a slightly confused expression: "Just call me Xiao Zhang, bow Chang Zhang." ”

He is Xiao Zhang, the Xiao Zhang who often rubs Lao Guo's wine and often eats a roast chicken with Lao Guo, Lao Guo likes to eat chicken butts, he likes to eat chicken wings.

He is also Xiao Zhang, the Xiao Zhang who was rescued by Wu Yi and brought back as a spy to cultivate, he became a city gate guard in order to contact Lao Guo from the beginning.

It's just that these two people have died, quietly and without waves, and Xiao Zhang is a little confused.

He was just an ordinary Xiao Zhang, who couldn't do anything, so he could only drink all night, and finally got drunk, as if he saw Wu Yi holding his hands and looking at himself with a smile, while Lao Guo on the side was squinting and napping as always.

After sobering up, Xiao Zhang shook his head a little confused, sighed helplessly and said, "The door always needs to be guarded." ”

So Xiao Zhang can only be Xiao Zhang, Xiao Zhang, who has no story, may slowly boil into an old Zhang, and then wait for another Xiao Wang, Xiao Li or something to take over and continue to guard this door.

Zhou Quan still had that expressionless look and turned his head and left, as if he was just casually asking, this soldier who didn't even have a specific name didn't seem to be worth wasting more of his time.

And as Zhou Quan returned to that group, this group of people finally separated and turned into three groups, one group of three people went south to the Sword Pavilion, one group of three people went west to Longhu Mountain, and the other group was the most numerous, and five or six people went north to Da Zhou.

Naturally, Zhou Quan and Xu Qinghui went south to the Sword Pavilion, as well as the pearl girl. At this time, Xu Qinghui's expression was sluggish, his face was like ashes, obviously Yu Liang's sentence "They were killed by you" hurt him greatly, and he had not yet recovered from his self-blame and remorse. On the one hand, Mrs. Xu was not worried about Xu Qinghui, who had never been far away, and on the other hand, she also agreed to Zhu'er's request to let her go to the Sword Pavilion with Xu Qinghui.

And the three people who went to Longhu Mountain were Wu Yong, Gu Qing, and Han Yi. Although Yu Liang accepted the gift of the sage, Yu Liang himself could not inherit the inheritance of Longhu Mountain at all, so he hesitated again and again and finally transferred this inheritance to Wu Yong, because in any case, it seems that the Wu family is the most descendant of Longhu Mountain, and Han Yi, who was also born in Longhu Mountain, can help Wu Yong rebuild Longhu Mountain, and can also serve as the protector of Longhu Mountain to prevent some young people from taking advantage of the opportunity. As for Gu Qing, he also joined this team under Yu Liang's repeated persuasion, although Gu Qing himself was unaware, but Yu Liang knew very well that Gu Qing was probably the most suitable person to accept the inheritance of Dragon and Tiger Mountain. It's just that at this time, the cultivation is too low and there are many restrictions, now that the saint is no longer there, and the shackles on the Han family's brothers and sisters have also been lifted, under Han Yi's careful teaching and the environment of Longhu Mountain, I am afraid that Gu Qing's cultivation will grow at an extremely terrifying rate, and even come from behind, and it is not necessary to surpass Wu Yong.

And the group of people who went north to Da Zhou was naturally Yu Liang and his group, but they took Li Qing's hitchhike back to Da Zhou, so there were quite a lot of people, not only Li Qing and Osmanthus couple, but also the little monk Huiyuan had to follow Yu Liang and his party, plus several people were a little injured, and Yiyi had been half-asleep and half-awake, so he simply took two carriages. Yu Liang, Yiyi, and Li Qing were in front, and the Osmanthus couple and the little monk were following behind.

It's just that the situation in the audience is a little awkward, and everyone is full of thoughts, and there is no such cheerful and laughing scene as in the past, but they are all silent.

Zhou Quan finally walked back, endured the faint feeling of fear in his heart, and after a brief greeting, he grabbed Xu Qinghui and Zhu'er, who were a little sluggish, moved slightly, rose against the wind, and disappeared in an instant.

Then Wu Yong and a few people bowed slightly in Gu Qing's somewhat reluctant eyes, and then turned around and embarked on the trip.

As the two teams walked away, the carriage where Yu Liang and his party were located finally moved slowly and headed north.
