Another half a year passed

In the eleventh year of Tianbao, the Mid-Autumn Festival, in the hall of self-suffering of the Sword Sect, the seven sons of the Sword Sect and the masters of the Chou, Yin, Mao, Wei and Xian sects gathered.

"Yesterday, this seat received a secret decree from the palace, and now there are two things that urgently need to be handled by our One Sword Sect. Ji Benchu stood on the stage and said loudly, "One is that the Holy Lord ordered us to send people to Chang'an to protect Li Linfu's safety. ”

It is said that after Li Linfu was arrested half a year ago, he was like a frightened bird all day long, and repeatedly wrote to the court to seek refuge, because of Wang Jie's disobedience, although he was alienated, but the title is still there, the emperor remembers the old feelings, and has also sent Jin Wuwei to his home several times to guard, but no matter how many people are sent, these forbidden troops always disappear out of thin air in the end, and there is no one alive or dead, as if the world has evaporated. Now that he had no choice but to use the power of the One Sword Sect.

Ji Benchu said again: "This time, I intend to train the disciples of the Maomen, but I don't know what the intention of ranking is. After speaking, he looked at the master of the gate.

Linghu Buyu was very knowledgeable, got up and took a step forward and said: "The sect master has always had great ambitions, for the sake of the future of my One Sword Sect, the junior brother admires it very much, and it is time for the children to experience it." ”

Ji Benchu laughed, waved his hand and said: "Ask Senior Brother Fox to sit quickly, you don't have to be polite, so according to Senior Brother's wishes, who is the right person to send to Chang'an?"

"It's all up to the sect master!"

"Okay! Then I will make my own decisions, this matter is not simple, I must send a disciple who is both talented and good in martial arts, and the top martial arts in the Mao Sect are Ling Huxian's nephew and my unsuccessful disciple Tang Tanghua. I think let's just let the two of them go. ”

Linghu Buyu was taken aback, there were so many forbidden troops as a lesson from the past, he naturally knew that this was not an easy errand, and if he didn't get it right, he would lose his life, and the sect master actually opened his mouth and let his son go to die! I wanted to refuse directly, but after thinking about it, Tang Tanghua was Ji Benchu's disciple, and he was willing to send it, and if he said anything more, it would inevitably look hypocritical.

But for the sake of his son's safety, he couldn't take care of it a lot, so Linghu Buyu said in fear: "Although Di Hua and Dog Zi have improved their martial arts in the past two years, they are still lacking in actual combat, and the sect master also knows that the person who assassinated Prime Minister Li Cheng has excellent martial arts, and no matter how many forbidden troops can't help it, the junior brother is only afraid of ......."

Ji Benchu laughed again: "I heard that Senior Brother Linghu and Li Linfu have always had an old relationship, and their friends are in trouble, so Senior Brother won't sit idly by, right?"

At the beginning, Linghu Buyu and Li Linfu had an old relationship, but now that Li Linfu has fallen out of favor, how can such a speculative person as Linghu Buyu still blindly take care of the old feelings? He smiled bitterly and said: "Sect Master, don't make fun of me, I am just a general friend with Li Linfu." ”

"Senior brother, don't think about it, I have always had a friendship with Li Linfu, but now I only talk about official affairs, regardless of personal relations for the time being, this matter is ordered by the imperial court, and I will do my best to do it." You tell Linghu Xian's nephew and Tang Tanghua to go boldly and with confidence, I have asked the fox to inform the two junior disciples under his door, Qingqiu and Bai Yan, that they are secretly protected, you can rest assured. ”

Hearing the names of "Qingqiu" and "White Mantis", Ling Hu Buyu's hanging heart finally fell to the ground, he is the master of a sect, and naturally knows the abilities of Qingqiu and White Mantis.

Ji Benchu said again: "There is another matter, Yang Guozhong was newly appointed as the envoy of Jiannan Jiedu, and he will go to Shu to rectify military affairs in the near future. ”

A year ago, Nanzhao King Ge Luofeng reneged on his oath, raised troops to attack the city of Yaozhou in Jiannan Province, and killed Zhang Qian, the Taishou of Yunnan, Emperor Xuanzong had sent Xian Yutong to lead the soldiers of Jiannan to fight with Ge Luofeng in Yaozhou, as a result, the Tang army was defeated, and then the two sides temporarily truce. Until half a year ago, Wang Qian rebelled, Zang Feng recognized the "tiger claws" and "four immeasurable fingers" of Nanzhao in the hand, so Yang Guozhong insisted that the palace rebellion also had the participation of Nanzhao, after his bewitchment, Emperor Xuanzong, who was already very happy, decided to conquer Nanzhao for the second time, and ordered Yang Guozhong to be the envoy of Jiannan Jiedu, and was fully responsible for the southern expedition.

"Why do you want to fight again!" Qin Keji was very disgusted by this, he sighed, and muttered in his heart: "Now that the national strength is weak, the people are poor, and the people in power still wage wars so frequently, it really hurts the peace of the heavens. ”

"This seat still wants to leave this matter to the Umen to deal with, who do you think you should send?"

Zhu Moqi cranked the folding fan in his hand, stroked his beard, and said with a smile: "Yan Wuqi is smart and delicate, Yan Tianzong is clever and eloquent, these two can take on heavy responsibilities." ”

Ji Benchu didn't agree immediately, lowered his head and pondered for a moment, "Okay! ”

At this time, Yan Wuqi and Yan Tianzong didn't know what was going on in the self-suffering hall, and the two of them were practicing swords with Bai Rose on the top of the mountain.

"That's it, you two practice, I can't keep up with the moves of the two of you. Rose's cheeks were crimson, her mouth was like an orchid, and she pinched her waist and gasped.

Under Zang Feng's training, the martial arts of Wuji and Tianzong are advancing rapidly, and Ling Huming and Tang Tanghua are no longer his opponents half a year ago, but Zang Feng is very strict with them, and never allows them to fight with others privately.

Two years ago, Yan Tianzong secretly learned martial arts with others, and after Zang Feng found out, he actually punished him for jumping frogs along the mountain road from the Jinshui River at the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain.

Rose can't keep up with the rhythm of the two now, it's not because of herself, she is an apprentice taught by Su Jianyi, and she is Qin Keji's righteous daughter, and her martial arts are naturally not much worse. Just because half a year ago, Zang Feng taught the "Seven Annihilation and Ten Wounded Sword" to the two of them, this swordsmanship is fierce and domineering, and it is easy to achieve quickly, and Yan Wuji and Yan Tianzong have not only improved their swordsmanship by leaps and bounds in half a year, but also relied on their understanding of the Seven Annihilations and Ten Wounds Sword, and they have a new understanding of martial arts all the way.

Without Rose to participate in the battle, the two let go of their hands and feet to fight, fighting from the top of the mountain to the treetops, and from the treetops to the stream, the fight was dazzling and earth-shattering. They don't do their best every time they make a move, leaving room for each other so as not to hurt each other.

It was another half an hour, only to see the sword light flying, Yan Wuzhi finally had a slight advantage, and a move "Overlord Carrying Ding" knocked down the iron sword in Tianzong's hand.

"Happy, happy!" Tianzong was not annoyed, lying on the grass on all sides, exclaiming joy.

Yan Wuzhi also threw away his weapon, crossed his waist with one hand, gasped for breath, grinned, and the half-arm shirt on his body was soaked.

The three of them got together and chatted for a long time, and when they all recovered their spirits, they walked down the mountain together with a smile, and at this moment Zang Feng had been waiting in Yan Wuji's bedroom for a long time, and when he saw them return, he told them what happened today.

"When can we go?" asked Tianzong eagerly, unable to contain his excitement.

It has been five years since they went up the mountain, and their brothers and sons have only been to Huayin County at the farthest, and now they are allowed to go out on business, or a long-distance mission like Jiannan, how can they not be excited?

Tianzong turned his head to look at Wuji, and when he saw that he was also smiling, he couldn't help but look forward to it even more.

"We will leave in two days, and my third brother and I will see you off. ”

On the other hand, Tang Tanghua and Ling Huming did not leave after three days after receiving the order, because the matter was urgent, they set off for Chang'an in the afternoon, and when they arrived, it was already the night of the next day.

Seeing that Li Linfu's house was brightly lit, the inner and outer three floors were full of heavily armed Jinwuwei soldiers, and there were many people in strange costumes.

Since the last time he was hijacked in the Lishan Courtyard, Li Linfu has a shadow in his heart, and he has not stepped out of the gate all day long, especially after the guards sent to him by the Holy Lord have disappeared wave after wave for no reason, Li Linfu has become a little in a trance, and when he sees everyone, he feels like he is going to kill himself that day, and he can be said to have been bitten by a snake for ten years and is afraid of the well rope, seeing that half a year is approaching, he feels more and more that the person wearing the ghost mask on that day is the impermanence messenger of the underworld, and he is staring at himself all the time, so he deliberately invited the mage of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda to come to exorcise ghosts。

"Bang bang bang" someone knocked softly on the door of Li Linfu's bedroom.

"Who!" a strong man in the room picked up the big knife in his hand, approached the door, and asked vigilantly.

"It's me, housekeeper Lao Wu. A familiar voice came from outside the door.

"You know the rules, just say it outside the door!" Li Linfu set up a rule, after sunset, no one was allowed to enter his bedroom, and whenever there was something, the people who guarded his Baling County Jiusha Hall day and night would pass it on his behalf.

"There were two people outside the door, saying that they were disciples of the One Sword Sect and wanted to see Xianggong. When Li Linfu heard this, he immediately came to his senses, and walked towards the door before putting on his shoes and socks.

"Hurry up, please, bring it directly here!" Li Linfu said through the door.

He was demoted first, and then alienated by the saint, indirectly it can be said that it was given by the One Sword Sect, Li Linfu is such a person who holds grudges, if he was changed to before, he would definitely find an opportunity to take revenge, but now that he is lonely, he can no longer set off a storm, so he has to admit it, and he knows the ability of the One Sword Sect to do things, and now he has to ask others, so he naturally has to be polite.

After a while, Tang Tanghua and Ling Huming also arrived outside the door under the leadership of the housekeeper.

"Xianggong's spirit is not very good, I can't open the door to greet each other, the two young heroes have something to say here, please forgive me. "The two of them in the One Sword Sect are both newcomers, and they don't dare to be arrogant, so they gave their names outside the door according to what the old servant said.

The two sides were polite again, and when they were talking, another servant came running over, looking panicked, and whispered something in the butler's ear, and the butler's face was suddenly shocked, and the servant who reported the news he took away was weak and weak: "You can go, I said Yu Xianggong." ”

"Xianggong!" shouted the butler into the house, "can you allow the old servant to come in and talk?" ”

"No, whatever happens, just say it outside the door. Li Linfu directly rejected the housekeeper.

The old butler hesitated for a moment, and said tremblingly: "There is news from the palace that all the forbidden troops will be withdrawn......"

"What!?" Li Linfu was shocked and panicked, he couldn't believe his ears, and the two people from the First Sword Sect outside the door were also puzzled, why they had to withdraw the forbidden army as soon as they came.

"I can't withdraw! I can't withdraw! I'm going to die when the forbidden army is gone... The Forbidden Army can't go. Li Linfu's spirit collapsed at that time, and he didn't ask the reason, and kept talking to himself.

"Da ...", the sound of horses' hooves stepping on bricks came quickly, and a general in light armor rode straight into the inner courtyard of the Li Mansion. "Dali Temple Shaoqing Yin Shaoning received the book under the door of the book, on behalf of the Holy Decree, immediately withdrew all the forbidden troops of the Li Mansion, the property of the Li Mansion family temporarily copied by the Dali Temple, tomorrow the relevant staff of the household department came to count, Qin this. ”

With a bang, Li Linfu fell to the ground limply.

"Not only do I want to kill you and crush your bones to ashes, but I also want you to see yourself ruined, and I will also take your so-called glory and wealth. Half a year ago, the man wearing the ghost mask said a prophecy, and his arrogant words kept echoing in Li Linfu's ears.

"Yes, yes...... I owe him two lives, and he's going to kill me twice!" Li Linfu hung his feet and slammed his chest, shouting nonsense.

When Ling Huming heard the edict, he naturally knew what it meant, Li Linfu was going to be raided, but the instructions he received were to protect his personal safety, how could this be good. There was only Tang Tanghua around him who could discuss, so he had to ask him: "Senior brother, what do you want?"

Tang Tanghua is also a stable person, and when he suddenly changed, he could only force himself to stabilize his mind first, and said in a low voice: "You and I came to guard under the orders of the sect master, not directly obey the orders of the saint, and the saint only said that the forbidden army should be evacuated, and did not mention you and me, if you give up at this time, it will inevitably be the responsibility of disobedience after returning to the sect, and the news will also make the world's heroes laugh at us and others for not doing things well, and insulting the reputation of the sect, this sin is a big crime." ”

Ling Huming nodded yes, and Tang Tanghua said again: "It's better for senior brother, you will guard here for the time being, I will quickly go to the West Market to inform Uncle Qingqiu, the Li Mansion is only temporarily sealed, and the coffin cannot be closed, before the dust settles, he is always the responsibility of you and me, if he is really arrested and questioned tomorrow, you and I have done our duty, and it is good to go back." ”

"Okay, junior brother, you go and go back quickly, I'll stay here. ”

Let's say that in the distance, there are three people lurking on the roof of the lobby of the Li Mansion, all wearing ghost masks, and two of them are the people who held Li Linfu hostage half a year ago.

The movement in the courtyard was all in the eyes of the three people, but some whispered conversations were not heard.

"Childe, why did that person from the One Sword Sect leave?" asked the man who had urinated on Li Linfu in the past.

“......”

After a long time, the master didn't reply, the man turned his head to look, almost laughed, his son was lying on the bricks and squinted, just about to wake him up, he was stopped by the person on the right and said: "The son has been too tired recently, and after coming back from Tubo, he came here non-stop, just to be able to cut the dog thief, let's just keep an eye on it, let him rest for a while." ”

An old but powerful voice said this, and to his tone, it seemed to be the elder of the young man.

The old man looked at the son who was taking a nap, he was so peaceful, in the eyes of outsiders, this murderous demon was just a junior of his own family.

Whether they were pampered, or admired, or afraid, for various reasons, everyone willingly ran for him.

The boy didn't sleep in prison, so he woke up immediately, rubbed his eyes, and asked, "Is there anyone else from the One Sword Sect who has come to support?" The old man said, "Tang Tanghua just went out, and there is no one else to support. ”

"Okay!
