To the east of Huangli Township, forty miles away, there is a post.

The post station is not big, the rooms are seven or eight, the horses are two or three, and the courtyard wall is collapsed.

In the westernmost room, the dim light was still shining through, and a figure was reflected on the window paper, and the body was twisted.

In the room, Li Ke stood with his negative hands, looking up at a landscape painting on the wall, half silent and silent, as if he was enlightened.

Mountains and rivers have their own way, but the way that Li Ke uses to comprehend is not the way of nature of mountains and rivers, but the way of the temple and the world.

This Tao is not easy to penetrate, so he always frowns.

From time to time, there was a knock on the door, and a slightly hurried voice came from outside the door: "General, Huangli Township is in an emergency." ”

Li Keyong's eyes lit up slightly, but his eyes did not withdraw from the painting: "Come in." ”

The door opened and people entered, and it was a man dressed in a gray cannon, who clenched his fists in the room: "Li Ye and the people are fighting fiercely in Weishui, and the situation is unknown. ”

Li Keyong turned his head, and his face was happy: "So, God helps me?"

The man hesitated for a moment and said: "Li Ye left Chang'an because there were river bandits in Huangli Township, this is a public matter, and the general followed him out of the city to avenge an arrow, which is a private matter." If the general makes a move at this time, he may get into the quagmire. ”

Li Ke waved his hand, looking a little impatient: "Since Li Keyong was born, whether it is fighting on the battlefield and charging into battle, or going deep into the rivers and lakes to fight with others, he has not tasted defeat, how can he be planted in Li Ye's hands this time? This is not my private matter, but also about the prestige of Zhenwu!"

The man insisted on persuading: "The general entered Chang'an to form an alliance with Duke Wei, and now he is attacking King An, will he lose a big one because of a small one?"

Li Keyong sneered: "The alliance with Wei Gong, the focus is on the county lord of Li, the day before yesterday, Li Ye defeated me in public, which made me lose face, and declared in public that he has admired the county lord of Li for a long time." If Li Ye doesn't get rid of it, what kind of face do I have to marry the Lord of Lijun?"

Seeing that the persuasion was ineffective, the man asked, "Do you want to talk to Wei Gong?"

"One more move!" Li Ke flicked his sleeves, "The defeat the day before yesterday, I, Li Keyong, have already made people look down on me, and the alliance with Wei Gong is already a little short of breath, and the bargaining chips for the alliance are not good to ask for." This time, only by killing Li Ye invisibly can I regain my momentum, show my strength in Zhenwu, and deter Wei Gong. How can you mention it to Gong Wei first before it happens?"

The man said no more.

Killing a prince, as long as things are done secretly, leaving no traces and not being discovered, in Zhenwu's opinion, it is really not a big deal.

If this were not the case, Zhenwu would not be able to talk about being unruly, let alone have the confidence to listen to the tune and not listen to the propaganda.

......

The light of the stove dimmed a little.

Liu Dazheng's limbs were so stiff that he couldn't even move his fingers. Time passed extremely long at this moment, because Liu Dazheng was struggling to breathe.

He finally realized now how big the difference in strength was between him and the gray-haired and blue-robed man in front of him.

The boy did not appear, which shows that the man in the green robe, when he was doing something with Liu Dazheng, could still let the boy sleep peacefully without a trace, just like he didn't let the boy notice that there was a conversation outside the courtyard before.

The green-robed man withdrew his hand.

The pressure on Liu Dazheng's body suddenly subsided, he gasped, he glanced at the kitchen knife that had almost disappeared, and couldn't help but look at the man again, and asked with jealousy: "Who are you?"

The blue-robed man's expression was flat: "As you can see, a monk in the real realm. ”

Although Liu Dazheng had already determined the other party's cultivation realm, when he heard the other party admit it in person at this moment, he still couldn't help but be shocked: "After Yuan Tianshi, there has never been a real human realm monk in the rivers and lakes!"

The man in the green robe didn't seem to mind talking to Liu Dazheng, although his tone was still indifferent: "It's not that there isn't, it's just that no one has seen it." ”

Liu Dazheng shook his head resolutely: "This is impossible!"

The man in the green robe smiled, although his face was ordinary, but his smile was particularly charming, like an ordinary weed, bearing gorgeous buds, and a different kind of beauty: "Five years ago, you reached the current realm, could it be that you haven't thought about going further all these years?"

"After practicing the seventh layer of qi, every step is difficult, every step is as difficult as climbing to the sky, I can have today's realm, it is a coincidence, if you want to go further, it is not easy to say. Liu Dazheng said bitterly, and then he realized something, and his eyes widened suddenly, "You...... Do you know me?"

"Is it surprising to know the first knife in the Central Plains?" The smile of the blue-robed man became more and more mellow.

This is true, Liu Dazheng can't refute it.

I don't know what to think of, this middle-aged man with muscles like a hill and a burly figure suddenly had a sentimental look on his face: "If you talk about the world of the Tang Dynasty, it won't be surprising who else is promoted to the real realm, I'm afraid there is only ......"

Before he could finish his words, he suddenly stopped.

Because the blue-robed man in front of him had disappeared.

He walked suddenly, as without warning as he came.

Liu Dazheng was stunned.

After a long time, he shook his head and sighed, and went back to the courtyard.

He walked into the courtyard, and he did not intend to step out of it again today.

Even if there was no deterrence from the gray-haired and blue-robed man, he would not go out again.

And he knew very well that his junior brother, that Taoist, had no chance of winning in the face of Nangong No. 1.

So the task given to him by the master has come to an end. In a failed way.

This is the last affection he owes to his master, and now that he has paid it off, he has long wanted to have nothing to do with his master, so he came here to live in seclusion, so in the future, he can really completely draw a line with Zhongnanshan.

......

To the west of Huangli Township, thirty miles away, there are several cargo ships anchored.

Wei Jiangnan sat in the cabin, holding a book of poetry in one hand, and watched intently with the dim oil lamp. At his hand, there was a wine gourd, and whenever he read something wonderful, he would stop, take a sip of wine, and then quietly experience it for a moment.

There are rivers and lakes in the poem, and there is more Tao, which is Wei Jiangnan's habitual cognition.

Cultivating to his realm, it is extremely difficult to go further. The reason why it is difficult is that the comprehension of the "Tao" is extremely demanding. As a well-educated person, reading poetry is Wei Jiangnan's hobby, and as a monk who cultivates qi at a high level, reading poetry is also a method for him to achieve enlightenment.

Huangli Township, Weishui, is fighting fiercely at the moment.

Wei Jiangnan didn't pay attention distractedly.

In his opinion, Chen Jianghe, who was at the seventh level of Qi training, with a number of masters in the middle of Qi training, wanted to ambush and kill Li Ye, who was only at the fourth or fifth level of Qi training, on Weishui, and there was no reason to miss at all.

Even if Li Ye only defeated Li Keyong the day before yesterday.

Li Keyong ...... "Thinking of this person, Wei Jiangnan is basking in the eyes, the genius who has the best cultivation talent in the eyes of the world and is expected to step into the real realm before the age of confusion, in Wei Jiangnan's opinion, it is not enough.

He had never even looked at Li Keyong squarely.

"It's just a Shatuo person. Wei Jiangnan thought so, "Since ancient times, only Han people can achieve a real human realm...... Li Keyong, what kind of thing!"

As a monk at a higher level than ordinary Qi Training, an existence of a higher realm, Wei Jiangnan knew very well how difficult it was to break through the high level of Qi Training.

Gathering his thoughts, Wei Jiangnan continued to read poetry.

He read the poem quietly, just waiting for the good news to come back.

After capturing Li Ye, Wei Baoheng explained Wei Jiangnan's errand, and it was completed.

After Li Ye defeated Li Keyong, his admiration for Lord Lijun also spread in Chang'an City, so the entire Chang'an City knew that the young King An would one day propose to the Horse Mansion.

Wei Baoheng could not tolerate this happening.

Killing the prince, Wei Baoheng won't do this kind of thing. When he was in charge of hundreds of officials and presided over political affairs, the prince of the dignified dynasty was actually killed in the territory under the jurisdiction of Chang'an Mansion, is he responsible? Of course there is! The responsibility is still very great, and it is possible to be demoted!

Suppressing Li Ye, this is Wei Baoheng's wrist.

Let Li Ye be caught by the river bandits when he was on an errand in Huangli Township, and he disappeared for a long time before fleeing back in embarrassment, then this young King An will be swept away by his majesty, Wei Baoheng only needs a little means to make Li Ye a laughing stock, whether he can mix in the officialdom is a question, and he still wants to propose marriage to the Horse Mansion?

Wei Baoheng can also use this to suppress Xu Shaomu and change someone to take charge of Chang'an Mansion, so that he can be regarded as breaking Lu Yan's most important wings, killing two birds with one stone.

"Lanling wine tulips, jade bowl with amber light...... Good poetry, good poetry...... Alas, it is enough to capture such a trivial matter as Li Ye and let Chen Jianghe do it, and he even asked me to go there myself. My brother was too cautious in doing things, which delayed my elegant affairs. ”

Wei Jiangnan sighed, he remembered the scene in Chang'an City, reciting poems and music with literati and scholars, and singing about wine, and felt that this Weishui was too deserted, and this cargo ship was too vulgar, and he couldn't wait to go back.

Just then, someone came aboard the ship and brought a message.

"Gong Wei, it's no good!" the man knelt down on one knee at the bow of the boat, his expression was extremely eager, and there was no panic in his voice.

"Panic, what kind of system!" Wei Jiangnan scolded angrily, he felt that this subordinate would never learn what demeanor was, it was really vulgar.

But the next moment, Wei Jiangnan wouldn't think like this.

"The ambush failed, and Old Chen was killed!" said the person hurriedly.

The collection of poems slipped from Wei Jiangnan's hand, knocked over the wine gourd, and the wine spilled out at once, overflowing with fragrance, splashing on Wei Jiangnan's clothes.

"What did you say?!You say it again?!" Wei Jiangnan stood up suddenly, his head hit the cabin, he used too much force, and directly hit the cabin roof into a hole, and his hair was completely messed up.

"My subordinates saw with their own eyes that Old Chen was beheaded with a sword!" said the person anxiously, "and...... And our people have been captured a lot......"

"Bastard! How can this be! Chen Jianghe is a rice bucket? With so many people, he couldn't even catch Li Ye, but was killed instead! How can this be reasonable!" Wei Jiangnan was already angry, his head hit the roof of the cabin, half of his head was stuck, embarrassed and ridiculous, he knew that he had lost his demeanor, and his anger was even worse, and he immediately flew into the cabin, although he was not injured by sawdust, but his whole face was completely red because of anger.

"Does Li Ye have a helper?" Wei Jiangnan asked, this was the only possibility he could think of.

"I didn't ...... Nope!"

"Rice bucket! Pigs and dogs are not as good!" Wei Jiangnan was so angry that one Buddha went out of his body and two Buddhas ascended to heaven, and he couldn't help but spit out obscenities, and the posture of the elegant man disappeared in an instant, not only that, but he also kicked the messenger into the river, and he almost jumped like thunder on the bow of the boat.

"A bunch of waste! In the end, you have to work your father-in-law's work, what's the use of your father-in-law raising you!" Wei Jiangnan was furious for a long time, his anger decreased slightly, and he realized that he was too out of shape, not in line with his usual style of being a literati and a gentleman, and his head could be broken and bleeding, so he flicked his sleeves at the bow of the boat, straightened his clothes, and snorted coldly: "Wait for my father, see how my father moves his fingers, and then I will capture that kid!"

At this moment, Wei Jiangnan suddenly felt that in the current scene, there was quite a kind of rout of the army, and he rode into the enemy formation alone, captured and killed the enemy's main general, and saved the defeat, he couldn't help but think of a poem: "Read through 3,000 volumes of poetry and books, and practice the battlefield killing sword......

Before he could finish his poem, suddenly, a shadow flashed in the night, and then someone fell on the river.

Seeing that person, Wei Jiangnan couldn't remember the next line of poetry anymore, he was dumbfounded, with a hellish look on his face, shocked to the extreme.

The man put his hands behind his back, far away from him, obviously in the river, but he maintained the same height as Wei Jiangnan who was standing at the bow of the boat.

He carried his hands behind his back, and his feet did not get wet.

It's floating in the river!
