Since the last time Li Xuanying fought with the Batian and Jedi, and later Dugu Qiu and the others had an encounter with Li Yanlin, one of the 'Four Great Elders of Nanli', many days have passed!

Dugu is also leisurely in the house every day, reading, practicing swords, drinking tea, drinking, and even Yi Xuehan, who he least wants to see, has not bothered him these days!

However, it was the two of them, Nahe Longcheng and Yemeng Cicada, who lived in the Jingshi 'Shu Mansion' in a bright and bright manner!

There is naturally only one reason, that is, to repay Dugu's life-saving grace!

Dugu's original intention to seek defeat was not allowed, but then he thought about this Shu Qianxuan's first time in this capital master's place, and he didn't have any clever helpers, if he encountered something, it was easy to make mistakes with his skills, or if he encountered something casually and always had to take action himself, Dugu also felt very boring!

After all, this young man still values Dugu for defeat!

Dugu thought about it for a while, and with the hearts of Helongcheng and Yemeng Cicada, Dugu also agreed, and let the two stay for Shu Qianxuan to fight!

Obviously, Dugu's decision to seek defeat was correct! Because in the next few days after Helong City and Yemengcia came to the 'Shu Mansion', not only Dugu was defeated, but even Shu Qianxuan felt that these two people were indeed good helpers!

With Helong City and Night Dream Cicada, which are as long as Shu Xuanshui, and even have more experience, helping Shu Qianxuan in business is completely making him like a fish in water!

In the next few days, although Shu Qianxuan almost spent all the funds he brought from his hometown, the results he got were very gratifying!

The industry of the Shu family has been developed best under the southern city of Jingshi, which is under the jurisdiction of Tie Qianhai! In the southern city, the industry of the Shu family can be seen almost everywhere!

And under the guidance of Tie Qianhai and Tie Kongyuan, intentionally or unintentionally, Shu Qianxuan, as the son-in-law of the Tie family and the head of the Shu family, also got acquainted with the high-ranking officials and magnates in the Beijing Division!

It is only now that the Shu family can be said to have really gained a firm foothold in Beijing!

And Helongcheng also really started to be the military advisor of the Shu family, and after a few days, Shu Qianxuan even assigned the original 'black-clothed guards' under him to train and manage, and after some training in Helongcheng, don't you say, the kung fu of these black-clothed guards has risen really fast! Shu Qianxuan trusted him more and more!

Leaving aside Helong City, Yemeng Cicada is definitely a first-class good hand in internal affairs! In the past few days when she came to Shu Mansion, Shu Mansion, which was originally almost a man's world, has finally turned into a world ruled by women! All the internal affairs of the mansion, maids, gardeners, servants, subordinates, and the like, have been completely organized by her!

Even Tie Linglong, who is nominally the mistress of the Shu family, has slowly become dependent on her!

All of a sudden, this Jingshi Shu house is also prosperous!

These days, the most sensational thing in the entire Nanli and Jianghu is, of course, the shocking battle between Li Xuanying, the 'King of Zhenbei' in the Beijing Division, and the Batian and Jedi!

Li Xuan's victory against the two demons not only made his name spread all over Nanli again, but also became a household name!

Especially when the corpses of the Decepticons and Jedi appeared on the corner of Jingshi Street the next day, Li Xuanying's reputation reached a peak! Although even he wondered why the two of the Decepticons and Jedi, who suddenly disappeared after the decisive battle, died tragically on the streets!

Of course, Li Xuanying's move really lived up to expectations and attracted the attention of the imperial dynasty, and the young emperor also passed on the edict for the first time since taking office to send the long-hidden 'King of Zhenbei' to the palace to discuss matters, announcing that the 'King of Zhenbei' would resume the meeting of the dynasty in the future, and it seemed that he still had the intention to let him regain some military power in Beijing!

Sure enough, at the court meeting the next day, the young Emperor Zhenghe announced to his ministers that because he deeply felt the inadequacy of the defense of the Beijing Division, he hoped to establish a Chinese army in addition to the four major city guards in the east, west, south, and north, and shoulder the heavy responsibility of defending the security of the Beijing Division!

However, as soon as the emperor's idea was revealed, it immediately aroused the strong opposition of all the forces in the court, including the faction of the king of the same word, the prime minister's office, and the cabinet part! And the reason for the unanimity of the three systems is, of course, the establishment of a new army, which consumes the country and the people, and is not good for the people! Moreover, there are four major city guards in this Beijing division, tens of thousands of Janissaries under Chen Monan, and tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in the imperial city vanguard battalion stationed on the periphery of the Beijing division, and the defense of this Beijing division is completely sufficient!

In fact, this is a struggle for power, and in the current Beijing Division, only the more than 30,000 forbidden troops under the command of Chen Monan, the commander of the Praetorian Guard, are loyal to the emperor's faction! The other nearly 20,000 forbidden troops are under the leadership of the deputy commander Li Yang, plus tens of thousands of horses and horses in the vanguard battalion of the imperial city, and they are subordinate to Li Xian, the 'King of One Word and Shoulder to Shoulder'!

However, there were more than 60,000 city guards in the eastern, western, and northern cities, but all of them were under the command of Prime Minister Huang Jian! The remaining position of commander of the southern city was held by Tie Qianhai, the son of Tie Kongyuan, the patriarch of the cabinet!

But these are just the situation in Jingshi! And externally, it really shows the gap between the major forces!

There is a fierce general under Li Xian, the number one 'one-word side by side king', that is, the 'Zhennan General' of Cangzhou, who guards the junction of Nanli and the Poseidon Alliance, Eagle Feiyang! His subordinates have 400,000 people in the most elite 'Southern Army' in the entire Nanli! And Eagle Feiyang's military talent is particularly outstanding, and he has always been known as the first fierce general in Nanli, with an undefeated and proud record, and his force is almost as famous as that of the 'Spear God' Chen Monan! And this is the most important force under Li Xian!

There are only three major army corps in the 'north', 'south', and 'west' in the entire Nanli, and the establishment of each corps is 400,000 people! A full third of them are particularly elite troops under Li Xian's command, which is also the reason why he is known as the number one force in Nanli!

Although the other 'Northern Legions' and 'Western Legions' are also the same '400,000 people' large legions, their combat power is uneven, and the factions among them are also particularly complex and numerous, and they have no strength to fight against the 'Southern Legion'!

Under such circumstances, Emperor Na Zhenghe had long been eager to expand his sphere of influence, while the other three parties were trying their best to restrain his development!

Therefore, after a fierce internal debate and open and covert fighting, and after fruitless discussions, the four parties finally compromised! The establishment of a 'Chinese army' was announced, but military personnel were not allowed to be openly recruited by the state, and military salaries were not paid by the state! Li Xuanying himself set up a force of no more than 1,000 people, and could only be responsible for the defense outside the four cities of Beijing in normal times!

In this way, Li Xuanying only took up the fictitious post of 'commander of the Chinese army,' and the real 1,000 Chinese army troops, in addition to personnel, also had the problem of funding!

However, Li Xuanying was not worried, because his goal had already been achieved! As long as he could be appreciated by the emperor again, he would always have the opportunity to compete with his old opponent in the future! And everything now is just the starting point of his own take-off!

At this time, a new round of wind and rain was launched inside the palace! The reason, of course, revolved around Li Jianlin, one of the 'Four Great Elders of Nanli'!

Because the other three elders and the emperor suddenly passed a resolution, and then issued a proclamation to Li Yanlin, who was cultivating in his own mansion:

I hope that Li Jianlin will automatically withdraw from the list of the four elders and transfer the power of the 'hidden department' in his hands!

And the reason, of course, is because Li Jianlin's 'total loss of skill'!

Chapter 133: Reminiscence

The days are boring!

Shu Duanshui sat lazily in the back garden of Shufu, Jiangdu, leaning weakly on the feet of the 'blue water' in his hand, and the little snow sculpture 'Clear Sky' stood listlessly in front of Shu Duanshui on the table that had turned into cold tea, shrugging his head, and the sharp tenon smoothed out the wrinkles and creases in the snow-white feathers on his body!

How long have these boring days passed?

Ever since he left, he has been living like this, right? Every time he practiced swords, he was trying to find bits and pieces of memories of the past! But the more violent such memories came, the deeper Shu Duanshui's thoughts about that shadow became!

Is he okay lately, will there be stronger enemies in the Jingshi, and is he still safe and sound?

Every time I think of this, there is always some inexplicable irritability in Shu Shushui's heart!

The recent days seem to be even more boring than the days on the top of the South Mountain!

The heart that has already been cultivated to be as smooth as water will always be splashed with ripples by these occasional thoughts!

What's wrong with you? My former self wasn't like this!

Thinking about it, Shu Shushui's hands that seemed to be weak and weak suddenly lifted up vigorously, and then patted his head!

There was a soft sound of 'pop', and even the 'snow sculpture clear sky' on the side was startled by the sudden action of the owner, stopped combing his hair, and looked at Shu Shushui in amazement!

"It turns out that everything is real!" Shu Xuanshui felt his slightly sore head slapped by himself because he didn't have the luck to protect his body, and then looked around, but the figure that seemed real and familiar in his eyes flashed by, without the slightest trace!

Shu Duanshui didn't have the slightest clue in his heart, but he seemed to recall the past, himself and his bits and pieces!

The first time I met him, it was when I first went down to Nanshan and returned to the Shu family, right? The first time I saw him, his cold eyes and expressionless face made Shu Duanshui feel really uncomfortable! It can even be said that he was greatly annoyed! The dignified Shu family, one of the 'four major families' that dominated the rivers and lakes back then, has been reduced to the point of needing outsiders to support his family after only two hundred years of his own absence!

Of course, a large part of it may be because Shu Jieshui saw that his junior actually trusted him so much to the outsider he didn't like, right?

When did the Shu family, this ancient family, become the world of outsiders?

So in the following days, Shu Jieshui always looked at him with a little contempt and indifference! But he didn't get angry because of this, his face was always indifferent and peaceful, and he might be able to clearly feel that he didn't even put himself in his eyes, or in his heart!

Shu Duanshui's face became more and more cold towards him, but for him, he was able to let his juniors leap from the second layer to the fourth layer of the 'Qiushui Sword Realm' in one fell swoop! Shu Duanshui was also surprised! Her gaze finally began to slowly face him!

He's still the same!

In the following days, he actually found the shadow of his lifelong enemy! Then there was a confrontation between scheming and strength, and in the end, his enemy stood in front of him! The first battle was unstoppable!

Shu Duanshui never doubted that she would win! Then, as expected, she defeated her enemy, the Night Dream Cicada!

But just when she was full of ambition and wanted to get rid of her enemy, she was as quick as she could! The hateful enemy's concubine appeared! From the moment that concubine appeared, Shu Jieshui immediately knew that he was not his opponent!

Could this be the end? After 200 years of penance, he will still be defeated by the calculations of his enemies?

When Shu Jieshui was thinking sadly, the one she had been ignoring finally made a move! He stopped his enemy's concubine! At this moment, Shu Jieshui suddenly felt so relaxed! No one would stand up for himself like him! Although she also knew that his purpose might not be to save herself!

But will he be able to defeat the enemy's concubine? Shu Duanshui was nervous! But it was clear that her nervousness was wrong!

A sword, just a sword! a gorgeous and colorful sword!

He calmly defeated the enemy's concubine in this way! Although, in the end, he let his enemy and the enemy's concubine run away, and he also clearly saw that he did not chase and kill those two with all his strength, but Shu Jieshui was finally satisfied!

It's as if she's found her backer!

In the days to come, Shu Duanshui himself tried his best to approach him wholeheartedly, and wrapped him with all his tenderness! However, he was still him, although he also slowly opened up some of his mind to himself, but Shu Duanshui finally knew that he did not belong to himself! He belonged to a myth, a myth that shocked the way of heaven!

Yes, Shu Jieshui only now realized that the inexplicable hostility when she saw him for the first time was not because he was an outsider, nor because he occupied the position that was originally all her own in the Shu family, but she had already seen that he did not belong to this world! His power did not belong to this world!

That's why the arrogant self is so indifferent to him!

But now, when the more and more magical him was revealed in front of him, Shu Jieshui felt that she was gradually inseparable from him! Yes, her heart seemed to have been filled with something!

And now, he's gone!

Shu Jieshui also felt that his heart flew away with the disappearance of that figure!

But I can't go to him, because I can't leave here, this is the base camp of the Shu family, and there must be no one here!

And he is now the pillar of the Shu family! How can he go? Where is the reason to go?

"Miss Shu, Miss Shu" Just after Shu Shushui was thinking wildly, and the snow sculpture continued his leisure, suddenly a voice woke the two of them up!

"What's the matter?" looked at the reckless maid who came in front of him, and said coldly! Didn't he tell them a long time ago that he was forbidden to let them disturb him when he was in this backyard!

"Miss, the master has sent a letter, and the master asked the slave to give the letter to the young lady!" The maid was obviously very afraid of Shu Jieshui, and said tremblingly.

"Bring it!" Shu Jieshui felt his voice hurry, and his hand snatched the letter in the maid's hand!

The letter was sent by Shu Qianxuan! It only talked about the development of the Shu family's industry in Beijing, and then said that he still needed a sum of money to consolidate the industry in Beijing, and hoped that Jiang Du would send it as soon as possible!

Shu Jieshui read the whole article, there was no word about 'him' in Beijing, Shu Jieshui unwillingly read it a few more times, still no, a wave of frustration came to his heart, and he said lazily:

"Is there anything else?

Did he have no news, or did he not let himself know his news? In the past two months, has he forgotten about himself? Shu Jieshui felt very sour in his heart!

"Oh!, the master also explained to the slave maid, saying that Jiang Du has nothing to do recently, so I want Miss Lao to prepare, as if I want you to bring some things to Beijing!"

"Is this true?" Shu Shushui seemed to believe his ears!

Now, she is a little grateful to Shu Mubai in her heart!

Because he gave himself such a reason to hope but not to leave!

Then, the water is a burst of impatience!
