Chapter 257: Giving Knives and Books
After introducing Zhong Liyan and Tong Qian, Li Yongxu's understanding of the people and things in the rivers and lakes is jaw-dropping. At this time, when Ye Lan was about to introduce Ren Xiao to his uncle, Li Yongxu directly signaled Ye Lan that he didn't need to say much, and then slowly said in everyone's surprised expressions: "Ren Xiao of Shanyang Hall is right!"
Unexpectedly, the old Taoist priest actually knew him, Ren Xiao Shili said: "The seniors actually know me, which really flatters the juniors!" Ye Lan also felt incredible, and said: "How can Uncle Shi know Ren Xiao? Zhong Liyan and Tong Qian were both famous for a while no matter what, but Ren Xiao is a little-known boy, where did Uncle Shi hear about it?"
Li Yongxu smiled: "Hahaha, do you little cub just evaluate your friends like that?" Ren Xiao didn't speak, and Li Yongxu continued: "You used to be a catcher in the ancient city, and you were not afraid of power, and then you were active in the northwest area, and you destroyed several groups of powerful bandits one after another, and some time ago you made a big fuss in the small city, and you were given the title of Xinghuo Cold Knife!"
Ren Xiao was stunned when he said this, he knew himself better than himself. admiration: "The seniors know everything about the wind and grass in the rivers and lakes, and the younger generations really admire it!"
At this time, Li Yongxu noticed the empty scabbard on Ren Xiao's back and asked, "Why is there no knife in the Xinghuo Cold Knife?" Ren Xiao scratched his head embarrassedly, and Li Yongxu smiled: "Hahaha, since this is the case, I will give you one, see that your scabbard is a horizontal knife!" Ren Xiao nodded and said, "Thanks to the love of the seniors, just an ordinary knife is enough!" How could a person like Li Yongxu not see Ren Xiao's weakness, so he said to Jueran on the side: "Jueran, go and give the breeze and fallen leaves to Ren Xiao Shaoxia!" Jue Ran took the order and retreated, Ren Xiao didn't know what kind of knife Qingfeng Falling Leaves was, so he hurriedly said to Ye Lan: "Ye Lan, you quickly persuade your seniors, you really don't need to give me too good a horizontal knife!"
Ye Lan smiled and said, "Don't worry! This knife is perfect for you now!" Ren Xiao looked at Zhong Liyan again, who nodded and signaled that he could take the knife. Soon, Jueran came in with a silver horizontal knife, and Li Yongxu motioned for Ren Xiao to take the knife, who took it with both hands, but found that the knife was as light as a feather, and Ren Xiao, who often used a knife, naturally knew that the lighter the knife, the more difficult it was to produce effective damage to the enemy.
Looking at Ren Xiao's puzzled expression, Li Yongxu said: "How is it? Is it easy?" Although Ren Xiao wanted to say that it was not easy, he still had to pretend to like it and said: "Well, it is very easy......" Before Ren Xiao finished speaking, Li Yongxu and Zhong Liyan laughed, and Li Yongxu said: "Hahaha, you are really a simple child, you can't lie at all!" Zhong Liyan continued: "Is this knife too light, and it doesn't feel like it at all?"
Ren Xiao nodded awkwardly, Zhong Liyan continued: "You try to input the internal force into the knife now!" Ren Xiao did so, and sure enough, he found that the knife had become a little heavier, and Li Yongxu explained: "This knife itself is used to allow users to cultivate internal force! The stronger the internal force, the more subtle the control, the more powerful this knife will be!" Ren Xiao was stunned for a moment when he heard this, Zhong Liyan patted him and said: "The seniors saw that your internal strength was not good, so I gave you this knife, and I didn't thank the seniors quickly." Ren Xiao hurriedly saluted: "The junior Ren Xiao is very grateful for the wrong love of his predecessors!"
Yongxu took out a secret book from behind him and handed it to Ren Xiao, saying, "This book can teach you to cultivate internal strength, you can take it and study it hard!"
Li Yongxu first gave a knife, and now he sent a cheat, Ren Xiao was at a loss excitedly. Ye Lan said on the side: "My senior uncle is rarely as generous as today, you must cultivate hard, don't let him and all of us down!" Ren Xiao was like a lucky person chosen by God at this moment, and he happily kept thanking him.
After getting to know each other, everyone got down to business, and Li Yongxu said first as a senior: "Since the guards of the capital are here, then everything in our Taoist family will be at your disposal!" Zhong Liyan dared to be big, and hurriedly prevaricated: "The senior's words are wrong! I am waiting in front of you like a three-year-old child, if we talk about the experience of the rivers and lakes, we will listen to you!" Li Yongxu smiled and said: "Hahaha, don't pretend in front of me, don't pretend to be me, who doesn't know that the miracle hundred swords are a proud person, how can they become so humble here!" Zhong Liyan said embarrassedly: " The seniors laughed, thinking that it was because of my miserable defeat in your hands that I had today's miracle hundred swords, how can I have any arrogant capital in front of you. ”
"Okay, in that case, you and I will compete again, whoever wins will listen to whom!" The meaning of Li Yongxu's words Zhong Liyan naturally understood that the seniors just wanted to test their strength. Zhong Liyan smiled, and suddenly a powerful internal force burst out from his body, and the candles on the table around him were almost extinguished, Ren Xiao said to himself: "Brother Zhongli's internal force is really domineering, I feel a strong pressure standing next to him." Not only that, but the control of internal forces is also very precise!"
Li Yongxu said: "You took good care of the old man and me, and didn't extinguish my candle." Don't worry, let me see your true strength!"
Zhong Liyan said: "Then the junior will be offended!" Before the words fell, Ren Xiao felt that the air around him had become thinner, and he saw that the two swords behind Zhong Liyan emitted white and cyan sword souls respectively, and the two colors surrounded Zhong Liyan. Those candles were also extinguished in an instant the moment Zhong Liyan erupted.
Li Yongxu smiled and said, "You are not a little stronger than back then, the potential of young people is really unlimited!" At the same time, Ren Xiao saw that he just raised his finger, and the feeling of oppression around him due to Zhong Liyan suddenly disappeared, and those candles actually burned again like an ordinary time turn.
Zhong Liyan was deflated and said: "The seniors are much stronger than back then, and the juniors are willing to bow down!" Zhong Liyan collected his internal strength, and Li Yongxu naturally gave up, and then said: "Then listen to me now, I said let you preside over the overall situation!" Zhong Liyan just wanted to refute, but was preemptively said by Li Yongxu: "We said it in advance, you kid can't break the rules!"
Zhong Liyan had nothing to say, so he could only arch his hand and say: "Since this is the case, that junior has no choice but to dare to sacrifice a foolish plan." ”
Li Yongxu stood up from the mat and showed his respect for Zhong Liyan, who was also sincerely afraid, and said: "Taoism is one of the best factions in the world, not to mention that there are masters like predecessors in charge, so I speculate that Bai Ye will definitely not rashly attack Xuanwu Mountain, but it is very likely that like Qingzhumen, he intends to send us to disintegrate internally!"
Li Yongxu took a breath, and Zhong Liyan stopped and waited for him to speak, "You mean that the white night is very good
Can it already penetrate into our interior?" said Li Yongxu unfazedly.
Zhong Liyan nodded and continued: "Judging from the situation in Qingzhumen, it is very likely that Bai Ye has already calculated this step, so we must be vigilant!" After Zhong Liyan finished speaking, several people stopped for a while, and finally said to Yongxu: "Then between you, how should we deal with it?"
Zhong Liyan looked around, and then said, "First, we must ensure your safety, senior, only if you are safe and sound, can we form an effective deterrent to the white night, so your comfort must come first." Second, we have to take defensive measures when we don't know who the undercover agent is, I wonder if you have any good suggestions?"
Ren Xiao and Ye Lan both shook their heads, Tong Qian patted Zhong Liyan and said, "Okay, don't sell it!"
"My idea is this, divide everyone into five waves, and then take turns to garrison, of course, according to the strong defense facilities of Taoism, we can make these five waves garrison plans different, and then let them take turns to garrison in an irregular manner, so as to effectively avoid being easily broken through the defense line by the enemy. Zhong Liyan said as he gestured. After hearing this, Li Yongxu praised: "Well, judging from the current situation, this is undoubtedly the best way, so that those undercover agents can't figure out our routines, so that they don't dare to attack Xuanwu Mountain easily!"
Zhong Liyan continued: "As for the third, it is to find a way to find these undercover agents, I am ready to do the opposite, several of us are new faces, so I am ready to blend in with the surrounding people, and then find a way to make some moves, so that those undercover agents take the initiative to come to us!"
"This is a wonderful plan! Let's do this!"
After that, a few people discussed the specific action plan, Ye Lan's senior brother Jueran personally protected Li Yongxu for twelve hours, Zhong Liyan was too famous in the rivers and lakes, and it was easier to get ideas when he integrated into the people, so he hid in the Xuanwu Mountain to see the opportunity, Ren Xiao and Tong hid in the homes of ordinary people, and Ye Lan was responsible for the contact between the people.
The next day, Ren Xiao and Tong Qian came to the village at the foot of the mountain to wander, and heard that there was a tavern here for decades, and the owner was very familiar with many people on the mountain, so they let Ren Xiao and Tong Qian settle here. The two walked to the door of the tavern and took a look, the door plaque said "Yinuo Tavern", Ren Xiao asked Tong Qian curiously: "Brother Tong, the name of this tavern is so strange!"
Tong Qian glanced at it and said, "I'm afraid the owner of this shop has a daughter!" Ren Xiao didn't understand, Tong Qian explained: "Because, it's a promise of a thousand gold!" Ren Xiao suddenly realized. The two walked into the store, only to see a middle-aged man dressed plainly greeted him and asked, "The two guest officers dare to ask whether they are sharpened or live in the hotel?" Tong Qian took a look at the surrounding environment, all the furniture was very simple, and there was nothing prominent, and said: "Staying in the hotel, but we may need to stay for a long time, is there a room that is not disturbed?"
The middle-aged man said: "There are two rooms in the backyard, one is my daughter's, if the guest officer doesn't dislike it, you can live next to her, my daughter is often not at home, and I guess it won't disturb the two!" Tong Qian smiled and said, "That's the best!" After speaking, he took out a piece of silver and handed it to the middle-aged man.
