Li Yijie didn't seem to hear his frustrating words, and responded: "What's more, we have to live." It is necessary to go back to the Central Plains and take care of everyone's caution as he said, or to avoid its edge for the time being...... "Those foolish people, how can they understand your hard work? Hmph, I don't want to mind their business!"

Li Yijie said: "Those who can achieve great things must have the decision to endure humiliation, the courage to bear heavy burdens, and others are ignorant of what they see, but ......they come to care about what they do? In order to...... Ahem...... For the peace of the world......"

But the words "the world is peaceful" are easy to say, but I don't know how much effort and how much blood and sweat it takes to really implement them. From my own mouth, I only feel extremely thin and weak.

Yuan Yi said: "Since I was a child, I have always been looking for stronger opponents. Now...... Waiting for the process of defeating him, isn't it...... Wonderful?" He staggered to his father's side, and just as he tried to help him stand up, he suddenly felt a strong pain in the ankle injury, and the pain made him weak on the knee and half kneeling to the ground. He didn't want to show people his painful expression, so he buried his head deeply, but the beads of sweat on his forehead rolled down one by one, and they were still clearly exposed in front of the others.

After everyone tossed and turned, it was a month later to return to the Central Plains. What is presented in front of me is an earth-shaking scene, full of chaos and gunsmoke, which is more than a hundred times more chaotic than when a few people sail out to sea. Everywhere you go, you can see houses collapsing, the ground is full of ruins, hundreds of people are displaced, and the burden on their backs is the only bit of belongings.

On the way to escape, there is still no lack of bullying practice, the poor have their heads broken and bleeding, and several copper plates are forcibly snatched by the rich or practitioners, and finally starve to death on the streets. All kinds of injustices have to be managed, and it is difficult to take care of them for a while. Often, the more foolish the people in the market, the more trouble they will get involved after meddling, and it is inevitable that they will be entangled. There is another important thing at the moment, that is, Li Yijie has also turned a blind eye from the initial righteous indignation, only Nangong Xue will throw a few copper coins to the beggars on the roadside.

It was not until they entered the capital that the situation improved slightly, and at the feet of the Son of Heaven, the people did not dare to be too presumptuous. The news I heard here was nothing more than a sudden rebellion by the neighboring foreign nations, a rebellion in the border areas, and so on. It is said that the imperial court hurriedly sent troops to resist, but it was difficult to save the fire from afar, and it was caught off guard by a sneak attack at first, and it was already defeated and retreated before the reinforcements arrived. For example, Mongolia, Tibet and other big countries are relatively strong, and they have broken through the pass and marched all the way.

In order to protect the overall situation, the Qing troops had to dispatch troops to deal with it, so it was inevitable to take care of one or the other. Only then did the army be mobilized here, and the previous base camp was lost again, and these battles can be said to be extremely fought. Annoyed that the original owner scolded the world and there would be chaos, and this gang of Ziyidi's subordinates was still fighting among themselves. In his eyes, the four major families are self-contained, and in addition, no matter how many countries belong to the same faction.

The owner of Xia Zhuang did not want to receive favors, and everyone lived and died together on the desert island, but when he returned to the Central Plains, the situation had changed, and the first one who was awkward was the owner of Xia Zhuang. After a few words of explanation to everyone, he took his own way south. Nangong Xue was worried that he had lived outside the world for a long time, and he was not familiar with the place, so he was in a hurry alone, and something was wrong. Lord Liu Zhuang and others knew that he had a strong foundation in martial arts and was enough to protect himself in troubled times, so they went with him.

So there were only six people left in the seven-man team. On this day, everyone stood in the downtown of the capital to discuss what to do next. Li Yijie has been silent for a long time since early in the morning, as if he was worried about his heart, and he was hesitating whether to confide in his companions. Nangong Xue stood beside him, her big eyes looked at him from time to time, and the message in her eyes was "No matter how you choose, I will support you." Finally, Li Yijie seemed to have made up his mind, and said: "Bother, everyone go to the headquarters of the Wulin League first." I...... I want to go to the palace first. ”

Among the group, the owner of Liuzhuang had the most hot temper, and said: "We have always acted together, what are you doing when you enter the palace in a good manner?" You want to borrow troops from the Manchu Emperor, they are already too busy to take care of themselves, how can they be distracted from you again?" Li Yijie said: "No, it's just that I have some things...... I have to go to the palace to find out. If I don't solve it as soon as possible, I'm afraid I won't be able to concentrate on the battle anymore. ”

Nangong Xue had a good relationship with him, and immediately thought of what he was referring to, and for no reason she panicked, and persuaded: "It's better not to ...... Senior brother, I know you're good for me, but now even I don't mind, don't go for trouble. Li Yijie's heart softened, but then there was a stronger resentment, and said: "It has nothing to do with you." But I don't like people playing tricks behind my back, so I'm going to ask her to give me an explanation!"

The original owner said: "Yijie, if you really want to go, we can't stop you." It's just that under power, you will definitely compete with those in power, which is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg. If you don't give them face, people will try to fix you. When the time comes, try to pick something nice to say, and don't be too impulsive. But the justice you want is unbelievable after all, so it's best to keep a bottom in your heart first. ”

He was originally an unruly person, and he had not been in the world for a long time, but he had a clear view of the world. Although he still doesn't believe in fate, he persuades others to come up, and he also has a little more sophistication of the older generation.

Li Yijie sighed and said, "Thank you Uncle Yuan, it's just that this matter is clearly my reason, but I don't believe that those in power can reverse black and white...... Yes, to gather heroes from all walks of life, please take care of it for me. In addition, the original brother's foot injury, you still take him to visit the famous doctor in the capital again, and maybe he can be treated. He suffered this disaster for no reason to save me and Cher, and I really didn't want to go. ”

Since he fell to the ground on a desert island, everyone found that he had a serious injury on his foot, but there was a lack of medicine on the island, and at most he could only be roughly bandaged. However, it is not only corroded by the skin and flesh, but also by further penetrating into the bones and eroding from the inside. The pain came in bursts, and when it started, it made him sweat coldly, and he shivered on the ground all night.

The left and right have been perceived by everyone, and there is no need to hide it, and at the same time, due to the aggravation of the injury, I have to find a slightly thicker branch to support me when I walk. Every time Li Yijie saw him limping, his heart hurt like a needle prick, and he couldn't wait to replace him.

Yuan Yi smiled reluctantly and said, "Brother Li, there's nothing wrong with this, it's my own choice to save you and Miss Nangong." If you have lost one foot, you will still have your life left, so why should you be dissatisfied? Since we are brothers, we should not say such foreign words. All I'm worried about is because of this foot injury, and I'm afraid I won't be able to help you when I fight the Seven Evil Saints again. Several people thought that the decisive battle was imminent, and their emotions became even more depressed.

The owner of Pingzhuang forced a smile: "Then there is no need to be so depressed. Fortunately, the emperor also agreed with the Wulin League, allowing you to move your headquarters from Liaodong to the capital, and then everyone can contact and gather, which is much more convenient, in the end it is more important than you. ”

Li Yijie snorted coldly, and said in his heart: "That's not the emperor's weight." However, it was a trick that made me move my men to the left, so that I could move quickly when I struck, and at the same time it was convenient to monitor me at all times to prevent me from having bad intentions...... I am caught in infidelity and injustice, and I want to get out of this situation. But I don't know what everyone knows, and I am afraid that there will be another incident, so I will deal with a few words indiscriminately and go on my own road.

This conversation did not make him feel better. On the contrary, as soon as you learn that you have completely turned your back on your long-term faith, you may be on a completely opposite trajectory in your long life. Accepting the status quo and adapting to this change is not something that can be taken lightly overnight.

Li Yijie came to Yinxue Palace with such complicated feelings. Looking at the scenery is still the same, thinking back to living here for six years, it is almost equivalent to half of the years of practicing in Huashan, and it is not a stranger to him. But at this moment, looking indifferently at the flattering faces, and the stiff posture of inviting An to salute, he felt that he was just a passer-by in this environment.

The palace can remain unchanged for many years, or it can change in a moment, if there are many distractions in your heart, you only need to leave for a few months, and then look back on it is already a waste of ten thousand years.

The guards entered the house according to the rules to report, and almost immediately turned around and came out, conveying that Concubine Yun invited Master Li to come in. The tone was not like that of colleagues on both sides for many years, and it was not like the life he lived in Yinxue Palace, but it was like he was a distinguished guest from afar. This is the first time he has received such courtesy from Shen Shiyun. For example, in the early days, it was common to wait for several hours under the scorching red sun or the wind and rain. The difference is only a wry smile.

It's just that the reason for this change is unknown to outsiders, but Li Yijie is too clear. And as expected, when he entered the palace to explain the purpose of this trip, this group of guards who were smiling and welcoming a moment ago were very likely to turn their faces in an instant and drive him out like a water dog. But the thought passed through his mind, and his calculation was still as before, as if even if he broke with the court today, it would not change.

The layout in the Yinxue Palace is the same as before, and there is a chilling coolness in a luxurious splendour. Li Yijie's heart was in a trance, the street he walked through just now, seeing the exiled people running and fleeing, and the peace and tranquility at this time were like two worlds. His thoughts soared, no matter how panicked the outside world was, the palace would still be as peaceful as ever, even if it lasted for thousands of years, this place would still be insulated from darkness. But if you think about it deeply, I am afraid that the darkness that lingers here is more than that of the people.

Shen Shiyun was dressed in bright clothes, asked Li Yijie to sit wide next to the low table, and instructed the palace maid to set up tea and drink for entertainment. Li Yijie looked at everyone busy, his eyes were cold, as if everything had nothing to do with him. When the noisy crowd finally dispersed, the palace door slammed shut, and only the two of them were left in the room. A cool shadow happened to be scattered on the table, enveloping the two of them.

Li Yijie sighed and said to himself: "Could it be a conversation that can't see the light, and it really has to be in the shade to be considered a suitable situation? Good sunshine, why bother to keep it out? Yinxue Palace has been like this for a long time, but I am afraid that it will be idle and moldy." ”

Shen Shiyun's eyes quickly flashed with unhappiness, she was undoubtedly very good at hiding her heart, and immediately pretended to laugh, even Li Yijie had to wonder if she had an illusion just now. Hearing her say: "Master Li Meng, there is still a casual vassal elegance at this moment, this palace just happened to summon you, and you came uninvited, it was really a coincidence." A month earlier, there had been a mention of the delivery of letters to tribal leaders, and now they have sent envoys to give them answers. That's what makes my collaborator so happy......"

Li Yijie interrupted: "You don't have to give me a detailed list. On the way to Beijing, I have heard a lot of rumors of the invasion of Fanbang. The people were cursing those foreign leaders for their lack of greed, and all kinds of unpleasant words abounded, but they never expected that it was the high-level figures within the Qing Dynasty who were about to cause the disaster of destroying the country and destroying the species. Therefore, when the refugees are fighting for a bun, you can still sit in the palace so leisurely and quietly drink tea and chat?"
