Liu Ruoshui rarely cares about the affairs of the court, because over the years, even if he has lived in seclusion, he is still in the rivers and lakes.

In this era, few people in the rivers and lakes will pay attention to the affairs of the court.

To be precise, the people in the rivers and lakes have no power to interfere in the affairs of the court.

If it is a war era, then the rivers and lakes can indeed affect the court, and may even affect the change of the throne.

For example, Zhao Kuangyin, the Taizu of the Song Dynasty, walked the world with a gun and stick, and was the first master in the world that year.

Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, was still the first major faction of martial arts in the late Yuan Dynasty and the thirty-sixth leader of Mingjiao.

However, once the world returns to peace again, the forces in the rivers and lakes will be suppressed by the court.

Even if Zhu Yuanzhang was the leader of the Ming Sect, but after he really became the emperor, he waved the butcher knife on the Ming Sect, and the Ming Sect disciples were either incorporated into soldiers or directly strangled and killed, and only a small number of disciples were left gasping and had to change their names and surnames, forming a new Jianghu sect, which is now the "Sun and Moon Divine Sect".

However, this kind of suppression only lasted more than a hundred years ago, because after Zhu Yuanzhang's descendants sat firmly on the emperor, this kind of suppression gradually ended, because after the balance of the world, this kind of suppression was no longer necessary.

For an emperor who sits firmly on the throne, the Jianghu Sect is not an enemy at all, and it doesn't even hurt to make it a little formal, it can only be regarded as a larger ant.

In fact, if it weren't for King Ning's desire to rebel and rebel, he probably wouldn't be able to look down on the Sun and Moon Divine Sect and want Liu Ruoshui to help him.

Regarding King Ning's request, Liu Ruoshui naturally would not agree, and even scoffed at it.

If Ning Wang Zhu Chenhao was a figure like Liu Bang and Xiang Yu, Liu Ruoshui could still gamble, but in fact, his level of rebellion was not even comparable to Zhang Jiao, and he was quickly extinguished after only a little wave.

In such a rebellion that is undoubtedly defeated, Liu Ruoshui really has no need to participate.

However, the jade toad is also something he must get his hands on.

Jade Toad is the key to Liu Ruoshui's cultivation of the "Five Forging Heavenly Gong", and the "Five Forging Heavenly Gong" is the key to his martial arts path.

Therefore, he could never give up.

Fortunately, if he wanted to get the Jade Toad, he didn't necessarily need to obey King Ning.

For a Jianghu person, there are too many means to get a thing in his hands.

Chivalry violates the prohibition with martial arts, and Confucianism violates the law with literature.

This sentence never goes out of style.

If he can't get it by regular means, he naturally has to use a little out-of-the-ordinary means.

As the leader of the Ming Sect, Liu Ruoshui can naturally use the power of the Ming Sect to pave the way for himself.

As the number one sect in the rivers and lakes, the disciples of the Ming Sect are all over the world, and their eyeliner is naturally all over the world, so Liu Ruoshui just gave an order and helped him collect the road map of Ning Wangfu.

However, if you want to sneak into King Ning's mansion, it is not an unusual thing, King Ning Zhu Chenhao is a prince at all, and there are countless soldiers around him, especially in the past year, the garrison of his mansion has become extremely strict, not to mention a living person, even flies are difficult to get into.

In fact, in order to please Liu Ruoshui, Shangguan Yun personally went to the palace to steal, but before he broke into the treasure house of the palace, he was discovered by the masters of the palace and had to flee in embarrassment.

Although Shangguan Yun's martial arts are far inferior to Liu Ruoshui, he can at least keep pace with Ding Mian. In the entire Sun Moon God Sect, his martial arts were only below Liu Ruoshui.

Otherwise, Liu Ruoshui would not have to go out in person.

Liu Ruoshui's luck is not bad, according to the news from where the rudder came, three days later, King Ning will hold a night banquet to recruit talents from all directions, and with Liu Ruoshui's identity, it is naturally not difficult to get an invitation.

Liu Ruoshui reported a fake name of "Zhao Yan" at the door, and immediately a middle-aged man who claimed to be a housekeeper Gao Bo personally led them into the house.

Through a stone road lined with small garden buildings, a majestic mansion stands proudly ahead. Just look at this mansion, you can know the spaciousness of Ning Wangfu. The vast garden lights on both sides of the road are everywhere, and the pattern of symmetry is adopted, which makes people feel that the stone road that is more than 20 zhang long under their feet is the central axis of the mansion, and the mansion in front of them is like the middle of this garden world.

There are two pavilions in the garden again, all erected on the rectangular pool, the heavy eaves structure the top, covered with red tiles, the top of the pavilion buckles a gorgeous shape of the treasure top, below is the white stone pedestal, the railing is beautifully carved. Regardless of the strange flowers and trees, small bridges and flowing waters, and winding paths, just these two pavilions can see the taste and ingenuity of the maker.

The main mansion is set off by the garden, and it is even more weatherful, which is not much better than the palace. It is the pattern of sitting in the north and facing south, facing nine wide rooms, entering four deep rooms, showing a rectangular shape, there is a heavy eaves flying ridge on it, and there is a palace-style gate of white stone pedestal below. In front of the house, there is also a small spring running through the east and west, and the stone bridge with two white jade railings is erected, which is unbelievably magnificent.

However, for Liu Ruoshui, these refinements are elegant, and they are not in his heart, he only cares about how to use the terrain here to sneak into the treasure house of King Ning's mansion.

Therefore, Liu Ruoshui directly found a remote corner and sat down.

After sitting down, Liu Ruoshui didn't care about what food was placed on the table, nor did he care what King Ning said, he just remembered the path of the palace and judged which way he should escape if he wanted to escape.

It's just that Liu Ruoshui thought about it and found that although he could easily sneak into the treasure house of the palace and steal the jade toad, he would inevitably alarm the guards of the palace.

In other words, if he wants to steal the jade toad, he must fight it out of King Ning's mansion.

Wanting this, Liu Ruoshui couldn't help frowning.

At this moment, he heard someone in his ear say, "I don't know why Xiaoyou is troubled, why don't you talk to the old man?"

When Liu Ruoshui looked up, he found that there was a simple old man sitting beside him.

This simple old man looks no different from an ordinary old man, but when he falls into Liu Ruoshui's feeling, it is gentle, as if he is the center, and they are exuding a warm power, which makes people feel like a spring breeze.

"Practice the gods and return to the void"!

Feeling this warm power, Liu Ruoshui couldn't help but be surprised, because he understood that the reason why he felt warm was because there was a kind of "field" and a "spiritual realm" in this simple old man's body, and his words and deeds would exude a kind of spiritual power because of this.

This kind of realm is exactly what all martial artists dream of, because only a strong person who has achieved the goal of "practicing the gods and returning to the void" can initially form this kind of "field".

Liu Ruoshui had used forbidden techniques to forcibly step into the realm of "practicing the gods and returning to the void", so he could vaguely perceive this "field", and what made him feel incredible was that the "field" on this old man's body was too grandiose, just like the vast and boundless sea.

This kind of realm is probably enough to be comparable to "refining the way of combining the void".

Liu Ruoshui's demeanor couldn't help but become solemn, and he said respectfully, "It's just a trivial matter, it's not worth mentioning at all, I don't know what the master has to teach you?"

Although Liu Ruoshui felt a huge amount of spiritual power from him, he unexpectedly found that although this old man had practiced a little martial arts, he was not proficient, and he did not seem to be a person from the rivers and lakes.

On the contrary, this old man has a bookish aura in him, and he is obviously a Confucian.

Therefore, Liu Ruoshui did not dare to call him a "senior", but could only call him a master.
