On the second day, when Wang Ruoli woke up, he saw himself lying on the wine table, as if he had been drunk all night.

Rubbing his tired eyes, Wang Ruoli looked around, and saw that the floor of the wine store seemed to have been washed by heavy water, although there were some sawdust, but it looked clean and bright.

"Young master, you're awake!" a guard enthusiastically brought a basin of hot water to Wang Ruoli.

Wang Ruoli wiped his face with a hot towel, and when he saw that the four guards were safe and sound, standing aside, his heart was relieved: "Fortunately, all four of you are fine!"

"Thank you young master for your concern!" Pei Qiong stood up, with an embarrassed face, and said embarrassedly, "I never thought that a few of my subordinates were too strong to drink, and they all drank high last night, but fortunately everything was safe, otherwise my subordinates would really die!"

Wang Ruoli, who had just relaxed, felt a tense heart when he heard this, and stared at Pei Qiong: "You don't remember, what happened last night?"

When Pei Qiong heard Wang Ruoli say this, she looked at each other with the other guards, and then panicked: "Young master, I was too drunk last night, I don't know what happened, and I ask the young master to forgive me!"

Wang Ruoli looked at the expressions of several of them, it didn't seem to be a fake, didn't he remember all of them?

Wang Ruoli observed his surroundings with some suspicion, although the rising sun was already dazzling in the sky at this time, the drinkers in the wine shop were sparse.

Wang Ruoli recognized his face, and vaguely remembered that there were two or three drinkers who listened to the story together last night, but seeing their natural expressions, just like Pei Qiong and them, he should not remember what happened last night. And most of the drinkers last night couldn't see their figures, and they didn't know if they woke up early in the morning or disappeared last night!

As for the proprietress of the table shopkeeper, she is a woman with a simple face, the kind that can never be found again if she is thrown into the pile.

"It's okay!" Wang Ruoli moved his slightly sore neck and stood up, "Zuo is just some drunken talk!"

When a few guards heard this, they were relieved.

At that moment, under Wang Ruoli's orders, several guards were busy buying dry food and wine, and hired boats to prepare to cross the river.

Wang Ruoli looked at the bank of the Xiangfei River, as if in a dream, touched his chest, and understood, everyone in the wine shop no longer remembered what happened last night!

Wang Ruoli and his group of six people traveled for two more days, and finally entered the Jingyang realm.

As soon as he passed Hanyang Town, he saw Yu Lao leading people to greet him, and the corners of his eyes were slightly red: "The old slave is guilty and failed to protect the young master......" As he spoke, his words were a little choked, and he wanted to bend down and kneel.

Wang Ruoli walked over with an arrow, hurriedly supported Yu Lao, and said sincerely: "Yu Lao has always taken good care of me for ten years, and Ruoli has always remembered it!

Wang Ruoli looked at this old man who had been guarding him for many years, and felt a lot.

Yu Lao was born in the Luojiang Yu family, when the family was destroyed by the enemy, he was the only one who escaped by virtue of the cultivation of the foundation building period, was rescued by his father, and later joined his father's hands. With the help of his father, Yu Lao finally killed the enemy and took revenge.

Since then, Yu Lao has been by his side, trying his best to protect himself, especially several times sacrificing his life to save him, which made him very moved.

"Young Master, the old man has returned from Nanjing City and has been investigating and looking for the whereabouts of the young master, but unfortunately these robbers are too cunning, and they haven't left a trace of any clues!" Yu Lao felt a little, and then added, "The master is still in the Red Maple Building. ”

"Well, let's go back here, I haven't seen my father for a long time, and I happen to have something to say about my father. Wang Ruoli seemed to have something in mind.

In the evening, Wang Ruoli and his entourage, accompanied by the twilight, rushed back to the red maple building in Luoshui Town.

Wang Tianyang came to the entrance of the courtyard in person, took Wang Ruoli off the saddle, and held him in his arms, with a lot of nostalgia between his movements.

"Father!" Wang Ruoli looked at his father, who had only been seen for two months, as if there had been a lot of vicissitudes, and his heart felt sour for no reason.

"It's good to come back!" Wang Tianyang's voice was slightly hoarse, "I have asked my subordinates to prepare wine and food, go wash your hands first, and then talk about dinner!"

At night, Ninghong Hall.

is still only Yu Lao and Pei Lun, standing around.

"Li'er, you said they wanted to loot you and go to Xinkang City and hand it over to a general surnamed Chen?" Wang Tianyang asked after listening to Wang Ruoli's story.

"That's right, and there is indeed a general surnamed Chen in Qi Nanguo's attack on Nanjing City this time!" Wang Ruoli judged, "So the child suspects that this group of people may be Qi Nanguo's spies lurking in Jingxiang Kingdom." ”

"It's not impossible, Qi Nan has always been hostile to Jing Xiang, and over the years, the spies sent to Jing Xiang have never been broken. Wang Tianyang thought slightly, "This matter is related to the military of the two countries, but my Wang family started as a businessman and has little involvement in military and politics." It's good that you're safe and sound this time, otherwise...... Li'er, along the way, you must have already guessed?"

"The child has some speculations, but he hasn't made up his mind yet!" Wang Ruoli expressed his doubts.

"It's okay, when it's broken, it's broken!" Wang Tianyang's words flashed with a fierce look, "However, you have grown up, and there are some things that can be dealt with by your father alone!"

"By the way, the child has only heard of monsters before, but I don't know if there are monsters in this world?" Wang Ruoli hesitated, but chose to ask his father for advice.

Wang Tianyang did not answer when he heard this, but stared at Wang Ruoli all the time.

Wang Ruoli couldn't help but wonder: "What's wrong with my father?"

Pei Lun next to him said strangely: "Why did the young master suddenly ask about the monster?"

"I happened to see it in the mountains and seas, and I felt wonderful, so I wanted to ask. Wang Ruoli had no choice but to pick up the book.

Wang Tianyang frowned, stood up, took a deep breath, and said slowly: "Li'er, do you know why your father's cultivation is so different from your uncle?"

Wang Ruoli listened, and couldn't help but be interested, could it be that his father's cultivation growth was not just because of his outstanding qualifications?

Wang Tianyang paced slowly, then turned around and said slowly: "In the past, when my father was only a teenager less than ten years old, one day I was swimming in the river, and I accidentally found that there was a two-zhang tall tree growing at the bottom of the river.

Father sneaked over and was surprised to find that the tree had been trembling, and the swaying body was covered with a green shimmer, especially the few fruits that looked even more attractive in the shimmer.

My father was also a small and bold man at that time, and when he saw that the fruit was shining and seemed to be very delicious, he picked three in a row and ate them.

When I was about to pick the fourth one, I suddenly noticed that my chest and abdomen were suddenly hot, as if I was being burned by fire.

Panicked for his father, he hurriedly dived out of the water and swam to the riverbank.

When the father climbed up the riverbank, he was already dizzy, and his whole body was red, like a fire approaching him, and he lost consciousness all at once.

It wasn't until later that my father learned that the three fruits he ate at the beginning were rare spiritual fruits in heaven and earth, called green wood fruits.

Fortunately, I only ate three at the time, otherwise I am afraid that I would have exploded and died.

As for that tree, it was not an ordinary tree, but a tree spirit that cultivated spirits, that is, spirits!"

Wang Ruoli didn't expect that his father would have this adventure when he was young, and listened carefully to Wang Tianyang at the moment and continued: "In those years, my father secretly checked many things, and knew very little, until I was fortunate enough to borrow the Jingxiang royal family's collection of books, I learned that there were really monsters in the world!"

The so-called monster is actually just a general name, and the real name should be 'demon monster'.

Demons, birds, beasts, insects, and fish, cultivating and transforming spirits, are for demons, demons, the qi of all things, gathering living beings, are for demons, ghosts, living things die, obsessive spirits, are ghosts, and monsters, plants, trees, flowers and stones, evolving into spirits, are monsters.

This is what people say about demons and monsters!

As a father, I hope that you will not have the opportunity to meet demons and monsters in this life, not only because demons and monsters, most of them are not good, but also fearful, but also their cultivation, the so-called cultivation of spirits, means that they have the cultivation of the spiritual realm, that is to say, even the most inferior demons and monsters, it is also the cultivation above the spiritual realm, far from ordinary people can fight!"

When Wang Ruoli heard this, his heart shook, no wonder the demons and monsters have always only existed in legends, and the number of daring feelings is not only scarce, but also the angle of standing is so high that people are beyond reach.

The father and son chatted until late at night, during which they also mentioned that the family clan competition conference in March next year.

The so-called clan competition conference is a competition of family children held by the Wang family every three years, which is used to screen the advantages and disadvantages of the younger generation in the clan, and then tap the potential of the younger generation.

This is not only a grand family meeting, but also a means of the family, why can the so-called lineage always override all the side branches? Is it true that the talents who come out of the lineage can always overpower the talents who come out of the side branches? Of course not! Every time there is a clan competition meeting, the top outstanding seedlings will be included in the lineage, and being promoted to the lineage is not only a kind of prestige and glory for individuals, but also a skyrocketing of status and power!

Therefore, the clan competition conference is the dream of all the children of the side branches, a great opportunity to make a name for the family and flip the status!

Just like Wang Tianyang, he was a sensation at the clan competition conference twenty years ago, and was appreciated by Elder Wang Yu and given to him in the lineage, and his status has been very different since then.

And Wang Ruoli has been weak for many years, so he naturally has no chance to compete with the clan, but now he is no longer frail, and his cultivation has also reached the period of qi recuperation, and he naturally does not want to miss the opportunity to have a long and short time with a group of family youth.

On the other side of Luoshui Town, the Ye family's mansion.

Ye Wushuang was in front of the desk, reading a book with a lamp.

A middle-aged man with a thin face walked in, handed over a page of the book with both hands, and said, "Big brother, the list of selected personnel in the Luoshui Town Army is all here!"

"Very good!" Ye Wushuang took the scroll and said in a deep voice: "Are there any sensationalists in the army?"

"Big brother don't worry!" The thin-faced middle-aged man spread his palms into a beheading shape and said coldly, "But there are those who are not convinced, and the younger brother has secretly killed all of them, destroying the corpse and destroying the traces." ”

"Hard second brother!" Ye Wushuang put the scroll on the case, and asked again: "Qiu Lian and Lu Fei, they have been gone for more than a month, why haven't they come back yet?"

It turned out that this thin-faced middle-aged man was Ye Wushuang's second brother, Ye Wuming.

"The road is far away, maybe there are some things delayed on the road!" Ye Wuming hesitated a little when he heard this, and reluctantly said: "In order to be safe, for my brother, I should personally bring someone to check it out!"

"Well, go and come back quickly!" Ye Wushuang nodded.

Ye Wuming reflexively exited the room.
