Out of Luoyang City, Li Fuyao only walked for half a day, and then met a group of cavalry, the number of people in the hundreds, the stars and the moon surrounded a carriage in the center, walking slowly on the official road, the leading middle-aged general was dressed in armor, with a royal forest army waist card pinned to his waist, beside him, there were two Confucian monks who looked at the breath realm in the Qingsi realm, it seemed that they were all worshipped by the criminal department.

When Li Fuyao saw the face of the middle-aged general clearly, there was a moment of distraction, when he killed the Dazai in the Dazai Mansion that day, this was the one who came to read the holy decree later, Li Fuyao knew that Emperor Yanling wanted to see him, and he only knew it through his mouth, this trip, Emperor Yanling had already made it clear that he didn't need to inform him, and he didn't do much, so this time he met this general north of Luoyang City, in fact, it was very accidental.

At the same time that Li Fuyao saw his face clearly, the middle-aged general also saw Li Fuyao clearly, he pondered for a moment, then rode his horse to a short distance in front of Li Fuyao, and after dismounting, he trotted to Li Fuyao and said, "Yuan Xia pays a visit to Immortal Master Li." ”

The last time the holy decree was read in Dazaifu, not to mention that the soldiers under his command felt confused, even if he was the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, he was confused, Dazai-sama was one of the three princes, and he was highly respected, why he was suddenly given death, this is a little strange to think about who it is, but since it is in the palace, it is not too far away from His Majesty the Emperor, Yuan Xia will not be so deliberate to ask for clarification about some things, after all, life is in the world, it is rare to be confused.

But later, he also learned that the young man who killed Dazai with a sword turned out to be the worship of the Criminal Department, and the jade pendant in his hand was still the most noble one, which made Yuan Xia tremble in his heart again, but he didn't care much about it in the end, what the Imperial Forest Army did depended on His Majesty's will of the emperor, as for the rest, he didn't care at all.

And the purpose of his trip to the north with hundreds of brothers and two criminal department worshippers is to escort an extremely important young man to the Xianyan Academy in the north, the matter is not complicated, the ancestor of Xianyan Academy was attacked by the monks of the two nearby academies when he traveled through the mountains and rivers, and when he fled to Luoyang City, he was already dying, if it wasn't for Luoyang City to help, now don't say that the ancestor, I'm afraid that the Xianyan Academy no longer exists in the world, Yanling Dynasty, in addition to the status of the school palace is difficult to shake, where are the rest of the academies not go through some intrigues, the demon sect leader Lin Hongzhu created the demon sect back then, Why is it said to be a demon sect, in addition to Lin Hongzhu's own radical ideas, it is also because the power of the demon sect has developed too rapidly and has become a thorn in the side of other academies, if it weren't for this, Lin Hongzhu would still be Lin Hongzhu, and he would not be labeled as a demon sect leader on his head.

After the ancestor of Xianyan Academy was rescued by Luoyang City, he formed a friendship with Luoyang City, in this hundred years, Luoyang City in addition to the annual selection of students to the school palace, in fact, there are many people are also going to Xianyan Academy, Luoyang City's criminal department is enshrined, a large part of it comes from the school palace, and the rest, but almost all of them are Xianyan Academy, this academy located in the north of Yanling, and even some royal relatives will go to study, but there are only a few who become monks, the young man who guards today is from Xianyan Academy, the seniority is not high, but the talent is good, this time he went out to travel, was injured by the mountain spirit and wild monster, and then recuperated in Luoyang City for three months, didn't get better, so he thought about returning to Xianyan Academy, and for this reason, Emperor Yanling dispatched hundreds of imperial forest troops, as well as two monks from the Qingsi Realm to escort him, which was enough to see that Luoyang City attached great importance to this matter.

In addition to guarding against mountain spirits and wild monsters, he was also afraid that the monks of other academies would attack him.

Seeing Li Fuyao, Yuan Xia didn't hide it at all, so he told Li Fuyao all these things, and then learned that Li Fuyao was also going north, Yuan Xia went straight to the point and asked: "This time I went north, I don't know what danger is on the way, Yuan has no foundation, and now I have seen Li Xianshi, since Li Xianshi is worshiped by the Criminal Department, Yuan boldly begged Li Xianshi to go along, if something happens, please ask Li Xianshi to help." ”

This remark was not a little pretentious, but very straightforward.

Li Fuyao thought for a while, and finally nodded.

Although Yuan Xia is a mountain person, in fact, he has some understanding of the things on the mountain, he knew that Li Fuyao was a swordsman, but now he is escorting a Confucian monk, Yuan Xia begged Li Fuyao again, if someone asked, he said that he was a mountain and wild cultivator.

Li Fuyao did not object, according to his practice of carrying a sword box, no one could see at a glance that he was a swordsman, after all, among the mountains and rivers, the first impression of a swordsman was the hanging sword on his waist.

After the final decision, Yuan Xia brought a war horse to Li Fuyao, and after getting on the horse, Li Fuyao drove the horse to the two criminal departments to worship him.

The two of them clasped their fists at Li Fu and saluted, and now the Criminal Department already knew that this extremely young looking man was also a member of the Criminal Department, and he was considered to be the highest rank.

Naturally, we should be courteous.

On this trip, Li Fuyao wanted to go all the way to the north, and he didn't think about going to the demon land in a very short time, but thought that he would at least have to climb to the Taiqing realm before he had the confidence to step on that demon land, according to his current sword qi realm is almost complete, it is not difficult to step into the green silk realm, the threshold has been placed in front of him, maybe a day or two, maybe a year and a half, but it will not be too far, as for the Taiqing realm, it will be worse, not that there is no hope, but I don't know when it will be possible, but if he really sets foot in the Taiqing realm, then even if he meets a monk of the three sects in the twilight realm, Li Fuyao didn't say whether he could retreat with his whole body, but the power of a battle would definitely be there, if the monk was more careless, maybe Li Fuyao could cut off the man's head with a sword.

It was an unexpected thing to have a bad relationship with the school palace, originally the incident in Luoyang City, he never thought about having a bad relationship with the school palace from beginning to end, originally that incident, although the school palace also played a few roles in it, but it seems to be irrelevant, the most important thing is the Ministry of Rites Zhou He, but when the final liquidation is to be carried out, maybe it is because he helped Ye Shengge first, or maybe because the school palace had a murderous intention against him, anyway, he was not able to bypass this threshold in the end, whether it is the layout or accidental, since he Li Fuyao killed the gatekeeper of Taiqing Realm with a sword, some people in the school palace will naturally hate him in the future, Li Fuyao didn't feel too much about this, and he wouldn't be panicked all day long, the swordsman was like this, a sword in his hand, and the truth he wanted to say was on the sword, a worthy heart was enough, and he wouldn't think too much.

Before leaving Luoyang City, he made three requests to Emperor Yanling, which were reasonable, in fact, in addition to these three requirements, Li Fuyao actually had a less reasonable request, but after thinking about it at the time, he still didn't open his mouth to say it, the fourth request was that he Li Fuyao hoped that Emperor Yanling would be able to raise his noble hand to the Zhou State, which was not for the Emperor of Zhou, but Li Fuyao remembered Xie Ying, but then he thought about it, maybe Xie Ying was not willing to do this, and Emperor Yanling was clear-minded, in fact, there were some things he didn't say, he could also think clearly, but in the end, would he do something for Li Fuyao in these small things, it all depends on his mood, as for Li Fuyao, since he didn't make this request, he can't and shouldn't be a little resentful at that time.

So the two of them actually know it.

But it's all in plain sight.

Jingkou Mountain, the library pavilion of the school palace, after Zhou Xuance, who was a little scary in his seniority, led Gu Yuan, the reading seed of the school palace, to the sage ruins to meet the opportunity, there were many fewer people in the library pavilion here, except for a few old masters who would come here from time to time to borrow a few books, the rest of the people were less, and there were magic weapons in the library pavilion, but after Zhou Xuance left the school palace, it was very convenient to go, plus the master Su Ye no longer studied the palace, and no one cared about the library pavilion here, and it was deserted.

Huang Jin still reads every day and cleans up his clutter.

This scholar, who was accepted by Zhou Xuance as a nominal student, has been on the mountain for almost two years, and he still hasn't embarked on the road of cultivation, if he is under the door of others, he may have been sent out of the school palace long ago and returned to the mountain, but his uncle Zhou Xuance has a very high rank in the school palace, and after this scholar came to the library pavilion, he did not become an official student of the school palace, so after the heat dissipated, the school palace did not pay much attention, but let Huang Jin alone, quite leisurely.

After the winter stinging time, it is rare to see the warm spring sun, Huang saw this, so he moved out some damp bamboo slips, and basked in the open space in front of the library pavilion, in the library pavilion, the books that recorded the magic and the articles of the sages have been arranged by the school palace, not to mention the dampness, even if it is burned with fire, it is difficult to destroy the book slips, these damp bamboo slips, the above is some poetry and travelogue written by the predecessors of the school palace that are not famous, and it is not of much value, so the school palace does not pay attention to it.

In the past two years, Huang has been reading idle books here, reading a lot, and reading a lot of articles by sages, but he has not read those books that record spells, and it is not that he is unwilling, but this scholar, who was born in a small country and countryside, feels that the time has not come.

Just as he took out the bamboo slips from the library and put them to dry under the sun, a woman who was also young came to Huang Jin's side not far from the library.

Huang Jin lowered his head and raised his head, completely ignoring it.

The woman wore a floral dress, watching Huang Jin run around, but did not make a sound, and when Huang Jin began to spread out the damp bamboo slips one by one, the woman finally opened her mouth to speak, she squatted down next to Huang Jin, and asked with a smile: "Senior Brother Huang Jin, you have read so many books, do you want to go down the mountain to become an official in the future?"

Huang Jin shook his head and said with emotion: "I just haven't thought about some things clearly. ”

The woman reached out and picked up the bamboo slips, spread out the bamboo slips that were already a little moldy, and then said softly: "I heard the senior brothers in the school palace say that the mountain has not been peaceful in the past few days, and several senior uncles have been angry, but I asked for you, not because of the matter of Zhou Guo, but because of the accident in Luoyang City." ”

Huang Jin nodded and said gratefully, "Thank you, Miss Bai Si." ”

The woman named Zheng Baisi was a little annoyed, "It's all said, Senior Brother Huang Jin will be fine if he calls Senior Sister." ”

Huang Jinyi laughed and didn't change his words, "The head of the sect is not on the mountain, these days on the mountain are indeed a little different from before, but I don't think it's a bad thing." ”

Zheng Baisi looked at this senior brother who didn't seem to care much about anything, and asked softly, "Senior Brother Huang Jin, if something happens to Zhou Guozhen, will you go down the mountain?"

Huang Jin thought about it, put down the bamboo slip in his hand, rubbed his somewhat sore waist, and said with a calm smile: "What can I do when I go down the mountain, is it to stop Yanling's iron horse, but what can I stop? A mouth, or is it not much sage truth in my stomach? It seems that these things can't be stopped, except for taking a life for nothing, what use can I do?" Rather than this, I might as well study well here, the reason why I ask you to ask about the situation under the mountain, is just to know the current situation, although there is still nothing to do, but the bottom of my heart is always more at ease, the book talks a lot about this kind of truth, but according to me, that is, I have no ability, I have the ability, Zhou Guo will not be bullied, this truth, and vice versa. ”

Zheng Baisi nodded thoughtfully, of course she didn't know that Huang Jin, who is so open-minded now, is only because the person she cares about the most has already passed away, so he is so light-hearted, he dared to raise a knife to rob his relatives back then, but now he can't do anything big?

Zheng Baisi stayed here for a while, and finally told Huang Jin when he said goodbye and left, he would help him continue to pay attention to the things under the mountain, Huang Jin saluted and thanked him, and only after the girl was far away, he took out a bamboo slip that did not look damp from a stack of bamboo slips, if there were other people here, seeing the contents of the book, maybe he would frown slightly.

This scholar, who is extremely optimistic about Zhou Xuance in the school palace, is looking at a soul-gathering technique in front of the library pavilion.

——

In the alley of Luoyang City, the Taoist did not sit under the eaves today, but went to Luoyang City again with great interest, Ye Shengge, who had not been out much since the cold winter last year, now went out, and it was not strange to say that there was anything strange about it, but after she went out, a man appeared behind her soon.

The man had a knife hanging from his waist and a peach blossom in his hand.

Except for that Cheng Yusheng, I think there is no one else at this time.

Standing not far behind Ye Shengge, Cheng Yusheng was silent for a long time, and finally shouted: "Miss Ye!"

Ye Shengge stopped and turned his head to look at Cheng Yusheng a few times.

Cheng Yusheng plucked up his courage, walked a few steps forward, stopped not far from Ye Shengge, and then stretched out his hand to hand out the peach blossom, plucked up the courage and said seriously: "Miss Ye, I like you." ”

Ye Shengge was stunned, a little in a trance.

No one in her childhood had ever said this to her like this, because she had never met anyone better than her among her peers, and probably for that reason, those people never dared to say it to her.

But Cheng Yusheng in front of her, if she calculated it carefully, he was really inferior to her in everything, but he was the first person to say these words to her.

Even if he knew that he liked her before, he had never said it so seriously.

Ye Shengge thought about it, and finally said that he knew.

This made Cheng Yusheng, who still had a stomach full of words, not know what to say for a moment, when he didn't know her identity before, he also said that he wanted to marry her, but he had never been so serious.

Ye Shengge thought about it, and it was rare to say a few more words, "You said that you like me, that's none of my business, if you like it, continue to like it, I don't like you, you just need to remember it." As for when you don't like me anymore, don't tell me, I know it's all the same. ”

Cheng Yusheng hung his head dejectedly, "Miss Ye, do you have someone you like?" Or do you just don't like me and don't look down on me?"

Ye Shengge was surprised: "Is it very important?"

Cheng Yusheng's expression was gloomy, he didn't say anything again, and left.

Ye Shengge wandered around for a while, and finally walked into a wonton shop at the entrance of the alley, ate the last bowl of wontons, and listened to the woman say some trivial things, she quietly finished the bowl of wontons.

Then this Dao seed left Luoyang City directly, and even the wooden door of her courtyard was not locked.

As for the peach tree, when it bloomed, she had already seen it.

Li Fuyao followed the cavalry army for half a month, and stayed here overnight in a barren mountain and wild ridge, the young man in the carriage had never shown up for half a month, and it was the same tonight.

After nightfall, a group of people lit a fire on the hillside, Li Fuyao and the two criminal departments and Yuan Xia sat together, the commander of the Royal Forest Army actually almost embarked on the road of cultivation back then, but in the end he did not meet a famous teacher, he groped for a while, almost went mad, and then broke off this idea, changed to practice martial arts, after practicing hard for decades, he can be regarded as a grandmaster, plus familiar with the art of war, so he climbed very fast in the army, only at this age, he has become one of the three commanders of the Royal Forest Army, although the status is the lowest, but after all, the age is not too big, there are too many opportunities in the future。

As for the two penal department worshippers, they were both young people who were fortunate enough to be selected to enter the palace, and they stayed in the school palace for decades, and they couldn't enter an inch, so they returned to Luoyang City and became the penal department enshrined.

This trip is also one of the few opportunities to go out to watch the scenery after living in Luoyang City for a long time, so neither of them feels any hardship.

It was only tonight that the two of them had just started chatting, and the young man sitting opposite shook his head, and before they could react, they heard the new criminal department worshipper smile and said, "Two of you are ready, tonight will not be peaceful." ”

The voice did not fall.

A majestic spear burst through the night.

With a strip of white mang.
