Li Shimin was silent for a long time when he heard this, and suddenly sighed: "If a person is hit hard, in addition to wanting to find someone to talk to, he also wants to find a comfortable and warm place to calm down, and Long Hongye is inevitable." Well, it seems that even if Long Hongye's martial arts are high, she is a woman after all, as for whether her choice is correct, only time will tell. ”

Ma You said: "An Ruohai is a person with great ambitions, but he doesn't like any warm and comfortable life, and since Long Hongye gave birth to his daughter, he also has the idea of making a comeback." Later, the two used the money brought by An Ruohai from the treasury to establish a twelve-chain bank. At that moment, Long Hongye's daughter turned out to be missing. lost his own daughter, and Long Hongye fell into reflection. She seems to believe that all this is because of the danger and ruthlessness of the rivers and lakes, so she takes very strict care of Li Xuan, does not let him join the rivers and lakes, does not allow him to practice martial arts, and does not allow him to contact people in the rivers and lakes. However, later, after Liang Jiu, who had infiltrated the Tianshen Gang under the pseudonym of 'Lingdaozi', appeared, she exposed her whereabouts on the rivers and lakes. ”

Li Shimin said: "I've heard some about Liang Jiu, you don't need to know about it. You tell me, why did Long Hongye and An Ruohai pretend to be dead, and who stole Long Hongye's daughter?" Ma You sighed and said: "Although An Ruohai is in the rivers and lakes, he is a businessman with strategic vision. He has been looking for the most powerful protector who can provide his money dynasty in the future, and after repeated comparisons and trade-offs, he has chosen your fourth brother, Li Yuanji.

He and Long Hongye chose to play dead because they felt that the time was ripe to enter the rivers and lakes with all their might. But they have lived with Li Xuan for many years, and they don't want to tell him all this, they just want him to spend the rest of his life in the ordinary. Therefore, they bribed all the neighbors, pretended to be burned to death after the fire in their home, and asked the neighbors to cover the coffin before Li Xuan rushed back. In this way, Li Xuan, who has no experience in the rivers and lakes, will not be implicated, but also the ears and eyes of everyone in the rivers and lakes. ”

Li Shimin sneered: "Such a shoddy method is just to deceive Li Xuan." ”

Ma You said: "Li Xuan didn't believe it at first, but he is young after all, and he has two pawnshop industries to maintain his daily life, so he can survive while being sad." But that day, he went to Chang'an Jinyuan pawnshop to inspect, and after leaving, he still entered the rivers and lakes. ”

Li Shimin said: "I heard that his entry into the rivers and lakes was caused by a sword!" Ma You smiled, a hint of cunning flashed in his eyes, and said: "That sword was placed in the pawnshop by an inexplicable person." Hey, this sword is extremely sharp, no matter who carries it on its back and walks the rivers and lakes, it will make others salivate, what if a person with poor martial arts carries it?" Li Shimin sighed: "Death is certain." But why do you want to give it to him?" Ma You gritted his teeth and said hatefully: "After An Ruohai and Long Hongye established the Twelve Chain Money Village, they expanded rapidly, and gave many people who helped him important positions such as village owners and workshop owners, but they turned a blind eye to me, the conscientious and loyal Ma Sanzi. Hmph, I gave that sword to Li Xuan, just to ask this son to take it through the market without knowing it, and attract people to fight. Haha, in this way, the identities of An Ruohai and Long Hongye will be revealed unconsciously, and they can even make Li Xuan lose his life. Of course, it is best that after Li Xuan dies, the Jinyuan pawnshop is completely in charge of me. ”

Li Shimin said: "What a plan to kill people with a knife." You easily handed over the sword to Li Xuan, aren't you afraid that Long Hongye will trouble you? Well, even if Li Xuan dies, I don't think the Jinyuan pawnshop will completely fall into your hands, don't you understand this reason?"

Ma You said with a smile: "The second son is really powerful. Hey, let's be honest, I'm not afraid that she will find me, because the eldest son Li Jiancheng knew that An Ruohai and Long Hongye secretly helped the fourth son, Li Yuanji. I dare to do this, because the eldest prince instructed me. ”

Li Shimin said coldly: "I see, you are really despicable. ”

Ma You shook his head and said: "People don't destroy the ...... for themselves", before he finished speaking, he changed his words and asked Li Shimin: "Second son, do you know who stole the girl?"

Li Shimin seemed extremely reluctant to talk about Long Hongye's lost daughter, and when he heard the silence for a while, he sighed: "The girl was only two years old when she was lost, and she definitely didn't lose it herself." Ma You laughed when he heard this: "The second son is humorous. Let me tell you, the girl was stolen by the Ding brothers, raised as an adult, and sent to the Jun's Father's Mansion. When Li Shimin heard this, his face turned pale, a trace of panic flashed in his eyes, and he asked word by word: "Your lost girl is Tang Bing's sister?"

Ma You said: "It's her, like a fake." ”

Li Shimin's voice trembled: "If Sister Tang Bing is Long Hongye's biological daughter, she should be a few years older than me, but Sister Tang Bing is the same age as me!"

Ma You laughed unscrupulously and said, "You are really a son. You don't want to think about it, a child who walks staggeringly, no matter how old she is, she is how old she is! Not to mention that when Tang Bing was stolen by the Ding brothers, he was only more than two years old. ”

Li Shimin was in a cold sweat, and he sighed for a while: "No wonder my father still treats her very well after knowing that she is a fine work in the house, could it be that he already knows that she is his own flesh and blood?! ”

Ma You said proudly: "The reason why I told these things to the second son and Pan is because I feel that the eldest son and the fourth son are difficult to achieve great things, and the second son, you are the one who really achieves great things." ”

Li Xuan sneered: "You still have such vision? It's strange, it's really strange." ”

Ma You smiled awkwardly and said, "You are walking ...... the dragon and the tiger" Before finishing a sentence, he saw Li Shimin waving his hand impatiently, and raised his voice to Yuan Tiangang and Lan Ji'an who were in the distance: "Based on your family's words alone, how can I believe you! Master Yuan, Master Lan, come here, I can't stand and can't listen to this person's mouth full of lies and noise." ”

When Lan Ji'an approached, he saw Li Shimin's impatient face, so he couldn't swim the horse into a dumb hole, and walked into the dense forest with it. However, after a while, he came back with a bloody knife and Ma You's head in both hands, and said to Li Shimin respectfully: "Second son, did you bury this person, or did you let him feed the crows?" Li Shimin looked at Ma You's head, covered his nose and sighed: "It's not easy to read that he went to the world, so it's better to bury him on the spot and put it in the ground!"

The cold wind was blowing, the dead leaves were flying, and the sky and the earth seemed to be in a messy panic.

Li Shimin was silent for a long time, until Yuan Tiangang coughed lightly, and then came back to his senses. He looked at Yuan Tiangang and Lan Ji'an beside him, and said with a slight smile: "Master Yuan, how do you know Ma You?" Yuan Tiangang said: "It was he who took the initiative to find me and asked to see you." Li Shimin let out an 'oh' sound and sighed: "It turns out that he is here to find death." After a pause, he asked, "Do you deserve to die?"

Yuan Tiangang said in a deep voice: "Absolutely damned." ”

Li Shimin smiled and said: "When a person dies like a lamp goes out, words should be dispersed with the wind...... Hey...... It looks like I didn't get a good harvest today!"

Lan Ji'an said with a smile: "The second son's harvest is ......" Li Shimin did not answer, but changed his words and said: "I thought Li Xuan was a nobleman, but it seems that he is just a grass people." Hmph, no matter how big a cloth is able, it won't make me worry about it. Yuan Tiangang asked lightly: "Do you want to give up Li Xuan?" Li Shimin shook his head and said: "Since he is not related to me by blood, there is no threat in politics." However, if you control a martial arts master who is not a threat, it is also a good thing. Hehe, how could I give up on him! There's no threat, we don't have to worry about him for a while. ”

Yuan Tiangang was puzzled: "What does Childe mean?"

Li Shimin looked deeply into the distance, his eyes flashed with a bright light, and he said slowly: "A person who neither loves money nor **, and only has the belief in justice and fairness in his heart, is not only extremely difficult to mess with, but also difficult to deal with. Well, judging from Li Xuanrou's tough, chivalrous and loyal personality, as long as we follow justice, he will not pose a threat to us. Otherwise, he's going to be a big threat! Ha, but now he's offended almost all of our opponents. Hehe, he's fighting to the death with our opponents, and from a strategic point of view, we can let him go and leave him alone!"

Lan Ji'an sighed: "As the saying goes, seeing things is divided into two. Judging from the current situation, although Li Xuan's actions are beneficial to us, there is no threat to us in the future!" Li Shimin nodded and said, "What Master Lan said is extremely true. In fact, after meeting Li Xuan in Shaolin Temple, I sent someone to carefully track down his scriptures after entering the rivers and lakes. Well, judging from the scriptures of his strayed into the rivers and lakes, although this person's life has hung by a thread several times, he can always miraculously survive, it can be seen that he is really like Master Yuan, he is indeed a white rainbow martial star who is dead but not dead, and carries the stars on his back!"

Yuan Tiangang said: "What are the plans of the second son?"

Li Shimin was silent. Meng Huanian, who was silent on the side, said: "Since Li Xuan is extremely difficult to control, and he is a dead and immortal Baihong Wuxing, it is better to send someone to dig his ancestral grave, spare his life, and how long can he last!" Li Shimin's eyes lit up when he heard this, but he let out a long sigh and said: "This method is too yin, and it is not the way of the king." ”

Lan Ji'an saw it in his eyes, stretched out his hand and pulled Meng Huanian from the Bird Cave Sect of Wudang Mountain, and said in a low voice: "Old Meng, how can you give such a despicable idea to the second son!" Wudang Mountain Bird Cave sent Meng Huanian to comprehend, stepped forward to Li Shimin and smiled: "The second son is graceful and Hongda, please forgive your subordinates for the crime of inappropriate speech." ”

Li Shimin laughed and said: "Don't blame yourself, you are also thinking about the great cause of the Li family." Turning his head, he asked Yuan Tiangang: "Now that Yan Wushu has more than a dozen gangs, and his power is no longer there, have you contacted him this time?"

Yuan Tiangang said: "According to the instructions of the second son, I have made an agreement to high-five him." He broke away from the fourth prince and came to join us, and in the future, all the twelve consecutive money banks will be owned by him, and we will pay him 100,000 gold in advance as the need for the Mo Gang to restart. ”

When Li Shimin heard this, his eyes were like a flame that had been burned. stared at Yuan Tiangang and asked slowly, "He promised you like this?"

Yuan Tiangang said: "Yan Wushu had served in the Wuyamen earlier, and loving money like his life has always been his true color. However, the reason why he promised us is that in addition to the ** of 'wealth', there is actually another reason. Seeing that Li Shimin was listening attentively, he continued: "You also know that the fourth prince is very suspicious and does not fully trust anyone. He used the identity of the fourth prince in front of An Ruohai and Long Hongye, but when he encircled some outlaw villains, he called himself Hou Gongzi. However, he told Yan Wushu that his identity was not only the fourth son, but also the favorite son of Lord Li, the Duke of Tang Guo.

The fourth prince had promised Yan Invincible to help him revive the Mo Gang, but the funds needed by Yan Invincible were delayed again and again. Also, the fourth prince did not tell Yan Wushu about the twelve consecutive money villages and the outlaws in the rivers and lakes. On that day, I told Yan Wushu about these things, he was shocked and disappointed, and when he was in Longhu Pond earlier, Miss Tang Bing had quietly told him that the second son, you are eloquent and strategic, if Yan Wushu takes refuge in you, he will definitely fulfill his long-cherished wish for many years. ”

Li Shimin smiled strangely and said: "What a Tang Bing girl, worthy of being a member of my Li family! Well, Yan Wushu always thought that he was relied on by the fourth brother, but he didn't expect that he was just a pawn. Hmph, Yan Invincible will help me at any cost for the money of the Twelve Consecutive Money. Master Yuan, did Yan Wushu just agree to help me?"

Yuan Tiangang shook his head and said, "I haven't agreed yet." Li Shimin said curiously: "Then why did he agree in the end?" Yuan Tiangang said: "After I gave him three pills." ”

Li Shimin said: "What pill?"

Yuan Tiangang said: "It was the Yin and Yang Replenishing Pill that I specially refined for him. Li Shimin said: "Be more detailed." Yuan Tiangang said: "According to this, Yan Wushu has been focusing on practicing a unique magic skill for many years, and it has always been difficult to achieve great success, and the reason is that it is always difficult to break through the barrier of death. Just when he hesitated whether to agree to our conditions, I gave him three pills to remove yin and replenish yang. Li Shimin said: "It seems that you are prepared! What is the use of these three pills to make him completely agree to us?"

Yuan Tiangang said: "It can instantly enhance the power of the cultivator, and the skill of the cultivator will be doubled, and the effect is comparable to the Huitian Divine Pill in the legend." ”

When Lan Ji'an and the others heard this, they all said with envy: "Master Yuan, you have such a good pill, why don't you give us a few?" Hey, if our skills increase, not only can we help the second son complete the great cause, but we will also be grateful to you!"

Yuan Tiangang sneered: "You can't eat this pill. Lan Ji Anqi said, "Why?" Yuan Tiangang said gloomily: "Although the efficacy of these three pills is comparable to that of the Huitian Divine Pill, in order to shorten the refining time, I have added two huge medicines, 'Chiyang Grass' powder and 'Chaoyin Bone' powder. Hehe, Yan Wushu didn't believe in the efficacy of these three pills at first, but after taking one pill for less than three days, he couldn't stop. Now, he has swallowed three pills in his stomach, and the removal of yin and yang has been greatly effective, and his power has increased more than ten times compared to the original, and he is very dry. ”

Lan Ji'an said: "The skill has increased more than ten times! Such a miraculous effect, we can't eat it? I think you just can't bear it." ”

Yuan Tiangang said: "The life cycle has a natural yin and yang law, and improving the power in such a short period of time will accelerate the consumption of life. Hey...... He didn't live more than three years. When Li Shimin heard this, he said lightly: "Three years is enough!" and said: "Yan Wushu has agreed, where is he now?" Yuan Tiangang said: "Leave the Five Color Peak." Hehe, I guess I'm looking for Long Hongye and Zhan Tong now!" Li Shimin smiled: "He's moving so fast! I think it's time to contact him!" Yuan Tiangang said in a deep voice: "If you destroy Long Hongye and Zhan Tong, it is equivalent to demolishing half of the twelve chain money villages." ”

Li Shimin said happily: "Okay! Let them fight, it's best for them to fight to the death and seriously injure each other, and at that time, I even saved 100,000 gold." After speaking, he said, "Let's go! Let them have a good time here." Hey...... If my estimate is correct, within a year, not only will the pattern of the reckless rivers and lakes undergo great changes, but I am afraid that the whole world will also undergo great changes. So now we have to do a good job of recuperating and waiting for the opportunity at the same time!"

Yuan Tiangang said: "What is the great change in the second son?"

Li Shimin said: "It is reported that the dog emperor Yang Guang is brewing a tour of Jiangdu again. If he travels, in addition to the lax defense of Chang'an City, the people of Li will also be miserable, at that time I can take the opportunity to raise the banner of righteousness, first support a puppet emperor to command the world, and at the same time strongly persuade my father to follow the example of Emperor Wen Yang Jian, and force the puppet emperor to abdicate and cede power. Then the world will have it. ”

Yuan Tiangang said: "This is indeed a grand plan, but the Yu culture on the side of the Dog Emperor Yang Guang is not an idle person. On the side of the king, he not only has the help of Zhu Lian, a master who is as famous as Lu Ran, but also controls the warriors of the Inner Court, and his strength is by no means to be reckoned with. ”

Li Shimin laughed and said proudly: "In the past few years, the rivers and lakes have been in turmoil, and Yu Wenhua will not be unaware. Although he has a few good cards of Zhu Jian and Xiaoguo Warrior, he only cares about ** pleasure. However, in the near future, I will also talk to him on behalf of my father, and if we do, we will join forces with him to stabilize the rivers and lakes, and then divide the victory and defeat in terms of political and military strength. On the contrary, it is necessary to compete in the rivers and lakes. As for Zhu Lian, the number one master under his command, I will do everything I can to make him work for me!

In fact, what makes me uneasy is the Flying Camel Gang controlled by my eldest brother Li Jiancheng. He helped the hundred-year-old ghost and the medicine king Gu Nangong Zhenshi, two of whom had superb martial arts and acted strangely, one was good at divine law and the other was good at poison, which was terrifying after all.

Fortunately, Yan Invincible has surrendered to us! The collapse of the Twelve Chains of Money is imminent, and the remaining Heavenly God Gang Li Xuan, although it cannot be completely used by us, at least there is no threat to us at the moment. Haha, you, do we have a big chance of winning!"

Yuan Tiangang shook his head and said in a deep voice: "Second Prince, with all due respect, the hundred-year-old ghost and the Medicine King Gu Nangong True Master are indeed threatening, if you only rely on Yan Invincible, who is 'wealth', to compete with them, in the long run, the chances of winning are not big!"

Li Shimin said lightly: "How can I not know this! Let me ask you, who is the opponent of the six great monks of Shaolin in the rivers and lakes today?" Yuan Tiangang didn't know what Li Shimin's words meant, and asked: "The six great monks of Shaolin?" Seeing Li Shimin's head, he couldn't help but suddenly realize: "If Yan Wushu can't destroy the hundred-year-old ghost and the medicine king Gu Nangong Zhenshi, will the Shaolin monks come forward?" Li Shimin laughed proudly: "Yours is right." If the six gods and monks come forward, what hundred-year-old ghosts and Nangong True Masters, even if Li Xuan is added, they will not be the opponents of the gods and monks. Hehe, this is the harvest of my trip to Shaolin!"

Yuan Tiangang sighed and said: "It turns out that you hold such a big trump card as a Shaolin monk! No wonder the Shaolin faction did not send a single person to such an important hero conference! If they helped, it would indeed be possible to turn any situation around." ”

The cold wind has stopped, and the snow has begun to fall on the ground at some point. Snowflakes are as big as palms, floating in the air, light, elegant and beautiful like butterflies wearing flowers. Li Shimin reached out to catch a snowflake and licked it with his tongue, muttering to himself: "God plants the seeds of rain in spring, and in the middle of winter, the cleanest snowflakes will be harvested." Alas, let's go! Why do I suddenly want to meet Tang Bing's sister. Ah, it should be my sister of the Li family. ”

Li Shimin walked away with his front foot, and Lan Ji'an grabbed the hand of Meng Huanian, the head of the Wudang Mountain Bird Cave Sect, and said, "Old Meng's previous idea is good!"

Meng Huanian was stunned and said, "Isn't it bad for you to be suitable?"

Lan Ji'an smiled: "The right is the right talent, now is the present, digging people's ancestral graves is indeed bad, as the second son, naturally can't agree in front of us." However, everything that is conducive to the great cause of the second son, we must take the initiative to do it as our subordinates, what about you?" Lan Ji'an said again: "According to the secret agent's report, Shi Wanrou of the Hidden Sword Villa is dead. Hehe, we need to act, but we can't let the sword of Man Zhuangzi rust. (To be continued.) )
