Li Cunxiao, the thirteenth Taibao, took a few retinues and came to the Jinju General's Mansion. After Li Siyuan got the report, he hurriedly came out of the inner room to greet him.

Li Cunxiao hugged his fists: "Big brother, I haven't seen you for a long time, I miss my little brother." ”

Li Siyuan laughed and gave Li Cunxiao a hug: "I also want to mess with big brother." I knew that my father would send someone, but I didn't expect you to come, the thirteenth brother. It's been hard all the way, come, sit in the back room. ”

The two are one of the few masters in the world, and they are also righteous brothers, and they are also the righteous sons of Li Keyong, the king of Jin, so they are naturally very affectionate when they meet.

Li Siyuan took Li Cunxiao's hand and said, "Is my father good?" Although the two got along very casually, he still couldn't forget to ask.

Li Cunxiao said: "Very good, very good. His old man is also worried about his eldest brother, and he specially brings a message to his younger brother, if the old family needs anything, just say. ”

Li Siyuan said as he walked: "Thank you for your father's care. My mother is under the care of my father, and she has to have everything, and there is no shortage of anything. Go back and thank my father on my behalf. ”

Li Cunxiao said: "It must be." ”

After a polite gesture, the two walked into the house, and Li Siyuan asked, "Jiaojiao went back to Taiyuan a few days ago, did you see it?"

Li Cunxiao sighed: "I heard that she returned to Taiyuan, and I wanted to go to see her, but the matter was urgent, and I rushed to Jinzhou, so I didn't have time to go to see her." ”

Li Siyuan smelled Li Keyong's eagerness, remained silent, and continued: "Jiaojiao has always admired heroes, and the thirteenth brother is the most heroic today, if the two of you can form a good relationship, we will kiss each other." ”

Li Cunxiao said frankly: "The little brother has been thinking about Jiaojiao for a long time. But when it comes to heroes, how can the younger brother be comparable to the eldest brother. The eldest brother guards one side, has 100,000 soldiers, and is the pillar of the country, and he is the true hero. ”

Li Siyuan waved his hand: "The thirteenth brother is serious. My brother can have today, one is that his father carries his love, and the other is that his brothers help the village. Okay, let's talk about family matters first. Jiaojiao is not young, if the thirteenth brother is interested, after going back, he will find someone to come to the door to propose, do a ceremony, and settle the matter. ”

Li Cunxiao wrote: "The younger brother has this intention, and I hope that the eldest brother will be fulfilled." ”

Li Siyuan pulled him to sit down: "This matter has to be decided by my mother." But I think my mother will be very happy, she likes your thirteenth brother very much, and often praises you for your integrity. ”

Li Cunxiao stood up and said, "I'll go and propose to her old man as soon as I go back." ”

Li Siyuan pulled him to sit down again, "Then succumb to the thirteenth brother." ”

Li Cunxiao was full of joy and took a sip of tea, "Big brother's Mahayana Prajna Gong has improved again, right?"

Li Siyuan spread out his hands, "When I came to Jinzhou, I was busy with military affairs, so how could I have time to practice." Besides, no matter how hard you work, you can't catch up with your thirteenth brother's martial arts! Fortunately, we are brothers, and if it is an enemy, I, the great general, will not be able to do it for a few days, so I will let you defeat it. ”

Li Cunxiao said: "The eldest brother is too modest. The eldest brother's martial arts, looking at the present, there are few people who can compare, the younger brother only has brute force, and in terms of martial arts cultivation, the younger brother is far inferior to the eldest brother. ”

Li Siyuan waved his hand: "Speaking of martial arts cultivation, it is still the thirteenth brother who has a deep understanding, and your simple, fast, and powerful keys are the true meaning of martial arts." But the vast majority of people can't understand it. To be honest, I didn't think so for a while, but this time when I saw the artifact, I completely figured it out. ”

Li Cunxiao suppressed his smile and looked puzzled: "How do you say this?"

Li Siyuan sighed: "That artifact has achieved the ultimate in simplicity, speed, and power. ”

Li Cunxiao stared at the other party's face: "Oh?

Li Siyuan said again: "The thirteenth brother is the first person in martial arts today, if he can compete with Guan Gong and Lu Bu, it is estimated that he will not lose." But in front of the artifact, you won't have any chance of winning, so you can only bow down and admit defeat. The thirteenth brother came this time, mainly for the letter, right?"

Li Cunxiao said: "Exactly!"

Li Siyuan asked, "What does my father want?" I am waiting for his instructions. ”

Li Cunxiao didn't answer him directly, but asked, "Big brother, is there really such an artifact?"

Li Siyuan said solemnly: "Such a major event, unless I have seen it with my own eyes, how dare I lie? It's just that how to make it has to wait for my father to investigate carefully, and I don't dare to trespass." ”

Li Cunxiao had to admire this brother for being cautious and careful, and doing things without leakage: "The loyalty of the eldest brother can be learned. Oh, the younger brother has something unclear, so I asked the eldest brother for advice: Why did you leak the news?"

Li Siyuan took a sip of tea and said unhurriedly: "I didn't expect that kid surnamed Chen to run out to drink and lose his words after drinking. Thinking that Zhu Wen's spies were very rampant in the Jinju area, he planned to lead them to be fooled. Qianli Feng really slaughtered one of Zhu Wen's generals and smashed a contact point. The real content will not be leaked, please rest assured. ”

Li Cunxiao nodded: "Oh, so that's the case." The eldest brother is resourceful, and he hopes to give more guidance to the younger brother in the future. ”

Li Siyuan got up: "You are here, and you have also seen the power of that artifact." It's amazing! I'm going to fight against it, and there's no chance of winning. Manpower can't do it, only immortals can do it. ”

Li Cunxiao was skeptical: "Is it really so powerful? Okay, let the little brother have a look. ”

The two came to the garden, and Chen Xingwu followed with the artifact in his arms.

Li Siyuan pointed at Li Cunxiao and said to Chen Xingwu: "This is General Li Cunxiao from Taiyuan Mansion, who was specially ordered by the King of Jin to reply to your request. He's going to test the power of your artifact, so shoot it again. ”

The two mighty men stood in front of him, especially Li Cunxiao's expressionless face and cold gaze, which made Chen Xingwu tremble. When he heard that he was going to demonstrate live, his legs trembled so much that he could barely stand.

Li Siyuan felt that something was wrong and asked, "Chen Xingwu, what's wrong with you?"

Chen Xingwu shuddered and said, "Report to the general, the villain doesn't have a pill now, so he can't try it." ”

Li Cunxiao was silent, with a suspicious expression on his face.

Li Siyuan's face couldn't be hung up: "What, you just have a pill?"

Chen Xingwu hesitated: "Hmm, hmm...... It turned out that there was another grain, which was ...... Miss Li took it. ”

Li Siyuan said sharply: "Go home and get it immediately!"

Chen Xingwu knelt down: "There is no one in the villain's house now." ”

Li Siyuan said angrily: "Can't you make a few more grains? It seems that you want to be promoted to become rich because you want to go crazy! Do it immediately!"

Chen Xingwu quickly cried: "There is no material now, and I can't do it for a while." ”

Li Siyuan kicked him over: "Waste!"

Li Cunxiao lifted Chen Xingwu with one hand: "What kind of Raushzi pills? You have to use it, is there no substitute?"

Chen Xingwu dangled in Li Cunxiao's hand like a chicken, "I can't replace it, I'll try, I'll try." ”

Li Cunxiao was so angry that he put his hand down: "You can't even figure it out yourself, you dare to come out and mess around!"

Chen Xingwu fell to the ground and did not dare to speak.

Li Siyuan was silent, he knew that the more he spoke, the more unclear it became.

Li Cunxiao said with a straight face: "The prince has an order, if there is a fraudster, he will be killed on the spot!

The situation has become serious. As far as Li Siyuan is concerned, it is a bully to the king, and at least he is guilty of failing to do things well, and at worst he is losing trust; as far as Chen Xingwu is concerned, he may be beheaded at any time.

When Chen Xingwu heard that he was going to be killed, he collapsed on the ground, and kept shouting: "The general spares his life, the general spares his life!"

Li Siyuan saw that it would not end well if it continued like this, and said: "What's the use of just asking for spare life? You can do it, but you can't do it. The latter sentence was also said to Li Cunxiao.

Chen Xingwu hurriedly said: "The general gives me some time, and I will definitely make it." ”

Li Siyuan shouted: "How long will it take?"

Chen Xingwu slurred: "This, this...... It depends on whether the material is found. ”

Li Siyuan held back his anger and said, "What materials do you want, say it and I'll give it to you!"

Chen Xingwu whispered: "Fire powder." ”

"Fire powder?" the two generals said in unison and glanced at each other, meaning that they didn't understand. The name Huo Fan was chosen by Chen Xingwen himself, of course they didn't know.

Li Siyuan asked: "Where can I find the fire powder?"

This can be asked to the point, Chen Xingwu has room to maneuver. "My younger brother Chen Xingwen has, but he went far away, probably going to Taiyuan, and I don't know when he will return. ”

Li Siyuan seemed to understand that the scoundrel in front of him was undoubtedly replacing his younger brother. It seems that the artifact was not made by him either. So he said, "It's still too late to tell the truth. General Ben asks you: Who made the artifact? If there is another lie, it will not be spared!"

Chen Xingwu was still kneeling on the ground: "It's....it's my younger brother Chen Xingwen." The villain did not dare to lie to the general again. Every machine, ball, and fire powder is made by him alone, as long as you find him, everything is fine. ”

"Someone!" Li Siyuan shouted.

Chen Xingwu curled up on the ground and shouted, "The general spares his life, the general spares his life!" He thought that Li Siyuan was going to push him to behead.

One of the guards ran over.

Li Siyuan said: "Order Zhang Xiaowei to wait at Chen Xingwu's house day and night, and when he sees his younger brother Chen Xingwen, be sure to invite him; All actions are carried out in secret and without publicity. ”

Guard: "Order!" and ran out.

Li Siyuan faced Li Cunxiao and said with a wry smile: "Today I will be planted in the hands of this kid." Please also ask the thirteenth brother to bear with me. ”

Li Cunxiao said: "The eldest brother doesn't have to worry, wait for his younger brother to come, and it doesn't hurt for the younger brother to stay in Jinju for a few more days." ”

Li Siyuan wrote: "Thank you for your accommodating. ”

The Tang brothers and sisters rushed back to Jinzhou City, and first went to Chen Xingwen's house, but when they saw that the gate was still locked, they still didn't see anyone, and guessed that Chen Xingwen was still in the general's mansion. So, he returned to the Good Luck Inn to stay in order to observe the movements of the General's Mansion.

Three days later, I still didn't see Chen Xingwen's shadow. Tang Wuwei said to his sister: "We can't wait like this, I will sneak into the General's Mansion tonight to find out the news." ”

Tang Susu said worriedly: "The General's Mansion is heavily guarded, Li Siyuan's martial arts are among the few in the world, entering the General's Mansion is like breaking into the Longtan Tiger's Den, it's not worth taking such a risk, it's better to be patient and wait." ”

Tang Wuwei thought that his sister's words were good, "If I sneak into the Chen family, I may be able to find something useful." You stay here and pay attention. ”

Tang Susu felt that it was inappropriate: "Why are you entering someone's house?"

Tang Wuwei realized that he had slipped his mouth, and changed his words: "It's not to go to his house, it's to ask the neighbors or something, maybe you can just meet him." It's fine here anyway. ”

Tang Susu nodded in agreement, and Tang Wuwei left the inn.

Tang Susu stayed alone in the room for a while, and also went downstairs, she was going to go around the general's mansion.

A guest in the restaurant on the first floor with long hair and dressed as a Taoist was staring at her back as she went out. After Tang Susu left, he walked to the counter and asked the shopkeeper, "What room does the girl who just went out live in?"

The shopkeeper looked up and glanced at the visitor: "Dao Chief, please bear with me, it is inconvenient for our store to disclose guest information." ”
