Chapter 240: Clearing the Clouds and Seeing the Blue Sky (1)
The case is closed.
Jiang Ru is a small gift from Lu Guangxin to Li Xian.
Maybe Lao Lu didn't know Jiang Ru's plan from beginning to end, but he only needed to know a little bit about it, no matter how fanciful Jiang Ru said about this matter, no matter how careful the layout was, he would definitely not be able to get out of it, no matter what, he would have a way to easily solve Jiang Ru.
It's not about the scheme, it's just a matter of the general trend of Huanghuang overpowering the ingenuity.
Merely...... Jiang Ru also has a certain amount of credit as the fuse, and he is also a smart person, so Lu Guangxin has made a favor.
Shen Lang on the side case put down the brush, blew lightly on the song, closed the file, got up and said goodbye to Li Xian:
"Xia Guan still has important things to deal with, so he won't stay here for a long time, if he has the chance...... General Li must admire his face and drink a glass of wine with his subordinates. β
Li Xian agreed.
Lord Shen looked at Jiang Ru who was embarrassed again, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a shallow smile: "I wish Lord Jiang ...... Prosperity. β
After finishing speaking, Lord Shen didn't wait for Jiang Ru to speak, and left directly.
The file in his hand needs to be placed in the special place where the archives are placed in the Spiegel Division first, and then the second copy has to be sent to the Si Tian Prison and the Ghost Department in person, but the Yamen side does not need him to make another trip.
Originally, these tasks were actually done by special officials, but everyone was very busy tonight, and the manpower was too much, so Lord Shen could only 'go into battle shirtless' by himself.
Li Xian hooked the corners of his mouth, and watched Shen Lang walk away with a smile on his face. He looked down at Jiang Ru slightly and asked with a smile: "
"I wonder if Lord Jiang has any good wine and good food to greet?"
"It is guaranteed that the heart of two or five hundred lords will be satisfied. β
Jiang Ru smiled, Even if his clothes were stained with dust and blood, he still gave people a sense of a gentleman, like a spring breeze.
The gentle gentleman is his real character for more than 20 years, even if his heart has changed greatly, this imprint will not leave him, but when he reveals his cold and cruel true face, there will be a violent sense of contrast.
"We'll see. Li Xian bowed his head slightly, and pinned his hands to his waist: "I really want to have a good chat with you." β
Seriously speaking, aside from his previous dislike for Jiang Ru, his intelligence and thoughtfulness are indeed remarkable, and he is now very short of strategists around him, a person who can really give him advice.
Secondly, Jiang Ru also proved to him that he had control over the layout, and there was a very important point......
Even if Jiang Ru is dismissed, his connections still exist, at least for a short period of time, a year to two years, and the strength of this relationship can still be barely maintained.
It's just one use, one less time.
"That's right...... I'll give you a gift too, a not-so-good gift. β
Li Xian remembered something, his tone was a little ridiculous, and he reached out and took out a copy of the note from the inner layer of the armor and handed it to Jiang Ru.
"It's a not-so-great gift. β
Jiang Ru was only slightly stunned, then laughed a little helplessly, and took it from Li Xian's hand respectfully.
He knew in his heart that this 'letter of dismissal' was a matter of time, but it was just ...... If you really open it and look at it, I still can't help but feel a little uncomfortable in my heart.
If nothing happens on the official road, Jiang Ru will always be a gentle and elegant gentleman, he has his own principles and bottom line to abide by, and I believe that he will be a law-abiding judicial officer of the Great Jin Dynasty in the future.
Avenge the grievances of the people and ask for their lives.
Jiang Ru's entry into officialdom is not a matter of one or two days, he has not been polluted by the sewage of desire, but can be appreciated by Yang Xian, and he has been promoted from Wujun Mansion to the Spiegel Division of the Party, which is enough to see a little bit of personality and hard work.
"Hmm~"
Jiang Ru coughed heavily, adjusted his emotions, solemnly tucked this recital into his sleeve, and smiled at Li Xian: "General, there should be a carriage waiting outside for a long time...... Please come with me. β
"Hmmm......"
Li Xian nodded, raised his heel and walked straight out of the front yard lobby behind Jiang Ru.
When he reached the gate of the Spiegel Division, he saw two familiar figures approaching him.
Lu Yang, Yue Qingshui.
Lu Yang walked in front silently, obviously immersed in his thoughts, he was dressed in a pure white robe, with a few white cranes embroidered on his sleeves, with big sleeves fluttering, like a fairy descending from the earth on a snowy night.
Yue Qingshui on the side had a fluffy fox tail wrapped around his neck, one step behind Lu Yang, just looking at him snorting coldly at Lu Yang from time to time, you could see that the two of them were making trouble.
To be precise...... A certain swordsman is having trouble with himself.
After all, with his strength, even if he can't kill Su Qingyi, he can drag it down. But in fact, in the battle of Chaochao, he was still a little careless, although he killed the fox, but it still couldn't change the fact that Wan Moding was lost.
In fact......
Lu Yang wasn't really angry with Yue Qingshui, first of all, when Wan Demon Ding awakened, the skull that he had been keeping in his arms had already reacted, and after easily solving a unity realm mixed with a lot of water, he immediately rushed to the swordsman's side.
It's a pity that after all, it's still a step too late.
With Lu Yang's temperament, it is impossible to say to Yue Qingshui: "It's okay...... Let's just look for it again. β
After listening to Yue Qingshui's unwilling words, he only said in a gentle tone: "Oh!" and then fell silent in his thoughts.
In this way, with the temperament of a swordsman, can you not make trouble with yourself?
His relationship with Lu Yang is chasing and catching up. To put it bluntly, if you want to die to save face and suffer the crime, you are unwilling to bow your head and admit your mistake.
As a result, the little Taoist priest was thinking about things, and the little swordsman was thinking about it and making awkward trouble.
On the way back, it was called a speechless.
If Yue Qingshui asked, Lu Yang would tell him what he wanted to worry about.
It's just that the Ten Thousand Demon Ding, who is afraid of disappearing, finds a suitable host again and lurks down...... With the power of the mind, bewitch and manipulate the host, killing innocent people and causing great disasters.
You must know that Wanmo Ding is divided into three parts.
The body, the skull, and the white bone sword can be combined to form a complete Ten Thousand Demon Ding.
Although one instrument is three, no matter which one contains an extremely terrifying mental power, although the quality is disorderly, but it can't stand the huge quantity.
Secondly, because of the huge power of the mind, the three instruments all possess the same ignorant spirit as the beast, at least the pursuit of advantages and the avoidance of disadvantages are visible.
After that, it is to find a suitable host, restore its due strength, and then repeat this until it either grows into a wise demon killer to control the host, or it is someone else who regains control of the power and endangers the world.
In the records of the Pure Yang Palace, the record of the Ten Thousand Demon Ding, except for the part that cannot be known to the world, the killing on the surface alone is appalling enough.
It was at this time.
Lu Yang suddenly raised his head and looked ahead, a trace of doubt and uncertainty flashed in his eyes, and then he suddenly realized, and then carefully looked at the armor style on the person's body, a gentle smile appeared on his face, and he arched his hand:
"Long time no see......
"Lu Yang has seen Li two or five hundred masters. β
Hearing the voice, Yue Qingshui also glanced up, and found that it was an extremely tall and burly general walking towards him, followed by a man who looked like a "prisoner".
"Daochang Lu, Qing Shui ......"
Li Xian really didn't expect Lu Yang to recognize him at a glance.
After all, there is still a gap between the appearance at that time and now, and it is more about the changes in temperament, which is difficult to see for people who don't get along day and night.
He also showed a sincere smile on his face: "I haven't seen you for a long time, I didn't think we would have the opportunity to meet again." β
Li Xian lowered his eyes slightly and looked at the two.
Compared with half a year ago, the appearance of Taoist priests and swordsmen has not changed much, but their temperament has changed greatly.
The ethereal temperament on Lu Yang's body has become stronger and stronger, and he is calm and relaxed in his gestures, if he can still use it to descend to earth like an immortal before, now he is an immortal.
As for Yue Qingshui, just as he was a little unkempt, he had a green circle of stubble growing on his chin, and he didn't clean it up, his eyes were extremely bright, if he had to describe it in one sentence, it would be that he had found his own martial arts.
A Excalibur hidden in its scabbard.
Li Xian continued: "Daochang Lu, I didn't say goodbye in Yuanye County at the beginning. β
The corners of Lu Yang's mouth became softer, and he was a little embarrassed: "At that time, I was in a bit of a hurry, and I left first before I informed the two or five hundred masters, which was not appropriate for Lu Yang." β
Just as the two were talking, Yue Qingshui looked shocked and looked at Li Xian in disbelief. When he heard Li Xian's rather intimate title, the whole person was stunned.
After looking at it for a long time, he recognized Li Xian.
His body is also quite tall, but he is also more than one head short of Li Xian.
You must know that when he was in the wilderness, Li Xian's height was just over two meters, so he had to look up a little, and now he was a few centimeters taller, and he unconsciously felt a little oppressive when he stood in front of him.
"I ...... I...... Li Xian? Are you Li Xian?"
Yue Qingshui's pupils widened, and he couldn't help but shout.
"Haha......" Li Xian lowered his head and looked at the swordsman, patted the armor on his chest, and smiled: "It's like a fake!"
"Wow......" Yue Qingshui let out a sigh of emotion from his mouth. "You have become two or five hundred lords!"
He felt that he was split by the Yang Thunder of the Bull-nosed Taoist priest, and his head was confused, this change is really too big, right, the most important thing is that this guy is only a long man for half a year?
Why is it that now he has become two or five hundred masters?
Is there any mistake?
'Is it so easy to be promoted to the military position of the Great Jin Imperial Court now?' If I don't have to be a general in a year?'
Yue Qingshui thought about it, and without paying attention to his thoughts, he flew into the air.
Seeing that this Sword Sect disciple was still jumping up and down, Li Xian didn't bother to pay attention to him, he still asked the question he was most concerned about first.
"Why did Daoist Lu come to the party this time?"
Lu Yang smiled: "I can't hide it, this time I came here for the Ten Thousand Demon Ding." β
Then he told Li Xian the origin of Wan Mo Ding, and at the same time told him the reason why he left the wilderness in a hurry.
He has exchanged hands with Tu Jun at least dozens of times, and his understanding of him can be said to be very deep, when he realized that Tu Jun might just fake his death and get out, he couldn't sit down for a moment, although he didn't know Tu Jun's real purpose of faking his death and getting out, but since he didn't die......
Lu Yang and Yue Qingshui planned to go to the place where Tu Jun had stayed before.
Tu Jun has been famous for decades, and he has no fixed residence, often changing places with one shot, which is extremely difficult to find, but Lu Yang has his back to Chunyang Palace, and he still has a little official background, so there is still no shortage of intelligence, and he also knows a little about Tu Jun's little-known secrets.
Later, he and Yue Qingshui rushed to Qingzhou non-stop. The strength of the two is already extraordinary, and their footsteps are by no means comparable to ordinary horses, but in just ten days, they left Youzhou and went straight to a place called Taoxu in Qingzhou.
According to the information that Lu Yang had read, it used to be Tu Jun when he was a child, which was wrong...... To be more precise, it was the place where Tu Jun lived before he set foot on martial arts cultivation!
But...... When they got there, they found that the peach ruins had long been deserted, and it would take at least 20 years to abandon them!
Tu Jun didn't count the murder, but there were still people who knew where he was born, and in order to vent his hatred, he directly killed the villagers of Taoxu.
It is said that at that time, the area was full of peach trees, and when spring arrived, the bustling breeze blew and the branches swayed, and the scattered peach blossoms fell like a shower of stars.
In this way, after staying for a few days, the two thought that Tu Jun was not fleeing this way, so they rushed to the next place.
If they are willing to stay for half a month, they will find that an old man with a child has come here in the dust, and has set up a new home in the depths of the peach ruins.
And......
With the arrival of the elderly and children, the peach market gradually became lively, and the crowd seemed to have begun to appear.
As for the later ...... The two of them tried their luck while eliminating the demon guard to see if they could find clues to Tu Jun, but something happened later.
What about them, they met Wan Mo Ding.
To be more precise, the Ten Thousand Demon Ding, which had disappeared for at least a hundred years, actually awakened in the hands of an evil sect disciple and reappeared in the world.
However, this person didn't know that the small tripod in his hand was the Ten Thousand Demon Ding, and the hundreds of years of silence didn't even awaken the beast's sanity, but he just used that person's hand to recover some vitality.
In fact, the reason why this incident was exposed was purely because this person was confused by the rapidly growing power and began to kill innocents indiscriminately.
First of all, the people in the yamen paid attention to this matter, and later the Spiegel Division learned that there is no impermeable wall in this world.
The legend of the Ten Thousand Demon Ding still makes many people salivate.
The process in the middle will not be told one by one, anyway, later Wan Moding directly manipulated this person to jump off the cliff directly, anyway, the person will die, and it can't be broken.
Tossing and turning, this thing was revealed to Gongsun Yan without knowing it.
Later, Lu Yang had an adventure with Yue Qingshui, and strayed into a place that was considered a paradise, a world where the spirits of plants and trees lived, and then he was teleported to Youzhou.
"I see......" Li Xian had a tone of sudden realization.
Yes...... Jiang Ru had already gone outside to wait outside when the three of them were reminiscing.
"Isn't Tu Jun dead yet?" Li Xian muttered to himself.
This is not good news, Wang Jinglin has always thought that the revenge of his wife and children has been avenged, and if he knew the news, he would probably be depressed again.
Li Xian didn't plan to tell Wang Jinglin the news.
Because it is useless to know, and it will only provoke the unhappiness in their hearts, and besides, Lu Yang and the others have been looking for Tu Jun's traces, so this matter will be left to them to deal with.
"Yes...... Originally, I was skeptical about this matter, but then there was an accident, although it was only a short glimpse, I was sure that Tu Jun was still alive!"
Lu Yang's tone was quite firm.
Chunyang Palace's pursuit of Tu Jun is not a year, two years, and even many Chunyang Gate people died in the hands of Tu Jun, this person will take revenge, and often retaliate back in various ways such as sneak attacks.
Over time, a great enmity was formed between the two.
But on the whole, Tu Jun has always been in a state of being hunted down, if it weren't for his extremely good ability to escape, I'm afraid he would have died thousands of times.
In fact...... Later, Chunyang Palace had already regarded Tu Jun as a whetstone for every generation to walk.
The contemporary Pure Yang Palace Lu Zhangjiao fought with Tu Jun, and the latter was defeated as soon as he fought, and he ran away directly for 3,000 miles, which is said to be the only time he was closest to death.
The second time, of course, was in Lu Yang's hands.
"But...... We should still be in the party for a little longer. Lu Yang told Li Xian about Yue Qingshui's encounter with Su Qingyi, and now the whereabouts of Wan Moding are unknown, and it is likely that he is still in the city.
Yue Qingshui disturbed his cheeks, and seemed to be a little embarrassed to disturb his cheeks, so he took a sip of wine, but when the wine entered his throat, he regretted it.
There wasn't much wine left in this gourd, and he couldn't look down on the usual wine, so he stuffed the wooden cork back in a bit of disappointment.
This thing has been running for its life since it woke up, and is likely to be lurking.
And he happened to have a skull in his hand, and if he was close, he could react, so he made up his mind to completely destroy this harmful thing this time.
Li Xian nodded, and proposed to make an appointment to get together another day, everyone has something to do now.
Lu Yang naturally nodded, and he was self-defeating.
If you really want to talk about the relationship between the two, you can only describe it in one sentence: the friendship between gentlemen is as light as water.
Although the personalities of the two are very different, they can be regarded as talkative.
After finishing speaking, Li Xian offered to leave.
Lu Yang and Yue Qingshui watched Li Xian walk out of the gate of the Spiegel Division.
This Li Xian has really changed a lot, this horizontal practice of kung fu is really good, if I am in the inner forging realm, I may not be his opponent. β
Yue Qingshui touched his chin and muttered to himself.
Lu Yang glanced at Yue Qingshui with a strange look: "General Li has now reached the realm of unity." β
β......β
"Oneness ???"
Yue Qingshui looked incredulous: "How is it possible, I remember that he should be in the stage of changing the marrow before leaving, right?"
"Break through to unity in half a year?"
Lu Yang glanced at him speechlessly: "How long did it take for you to forge the Inner Forging Realm to the Unity Realm." β
As soon as he mentioned this, Yue Qingshui looked arrogant, and his eyebrows flew and phoenix danced: "No, it took a month." β
But can that be the same, I have taken a panacea since I was a child, and the foundation can be described as extremely strong, and after the completion of the marrow replacement, I only prepared for a month and directly broke through. β
"Heyβ"
Lu Yang looked very helpless: "You are not the only one who is special. β
Yue Qingshui looked like he suddenly realized, and slapped the palm of his left hand into a fist with his right hand: "What you said makes sense......
Lu Yang really didn't bother to talk to this dumbfounder.
He felt that Yue Qingshui's IQ was all on the talent of the sword.
I happened to see an official passing by, so I immediately walked over and asked where Lu Taishou was, and walked straight over.
Leaving Yue Qingshui in place, touching his chin as if thinking about something, he looked like he had come back to his senses.
Huh...... Why can you sense the fluctuations of Qi in his body, why can't I?"
At this time...... Only then did he realize that this Li 2500 Lord was even more hidden than he imagined.
The concealment of the qi engine is first-class.
But...... In the end, there was only one thought left in Yue Qingshui's mind.
Why is the bull-nosed Taoist priest okay, but I can't?
"Wait for me, you stinky Taoist priest......"
......
......
Night.
It's about four o'clock in the morning.
The turmoil in the city has gradually calmed down, and it only took an hour for Li Xian to calm down from Li Xian's excitement to the present.
Jiangfu.
Li Xian and Jiang Ru sat opposite the table.
A few side dishes, a pot of warm wine.
Both were in good spirits.
Li Xian took a bite of side dishes, took a sip of warm wine, and couldn't help nodding.
Not to mention the food cooked by the guy just now, it was really delicious, he hadn't eaten this kind of home-cooked side dish for a while.
Li Xian smiled and asked, "Why did you choose me again?"
Jiang Ru's face was a little complicated, he took a sip of wine, and said, "Actually, the general chose me...... If it weren't for the general's rescue twice, Jiang Ruxing might not even have any hope of revenge, not to mention that now he has found the real culprit behind the scenes by chasing a little clue.
"Confucianism knows that the general has great ambitions in his heart, and he will become the honor of a county in the future, and Confucian's talent and learning can help you, whether it is my mind or experience, it can be of great help to the general. β
"Alright...... Don't say these polite words, I think you're a smart person. Li Xian waved his hand: "I'm still more curious about how you picked yourself out." β
Speaking of this, Jiang Ru couldn't help but show a wry smile on his face: "Actually...... A lot of favors have been used, and Ye Tongzhi really came all the way to the party to worship my wife and children.
"I told him everything before the plan began, and he volunteered to help me once when he was upset. β
Li Xian nodded.
Regarding Ye Tongzhi's matter, he had already expected it in his heart, but he was just short of the confirmation of one party.
"Where's that little guy?"
"Little ......" Jiang Ru smiled: "He is the most critical link, he doesn't know anything." β
"Oh?" Li Xian sighed lightly: "Continue to ......"
During my tenure in the party, I met a lot of people...... I also made a lot of contacts, including two male and female disguise masters, and I arranged for the party to be on the side of the party a long time ago.
The girl and I I saw today were actually those two people pretending. Jiang Ru continued: "When he left, his task was already completed, and as for me, I was waiting in Miss Qiongdan's boudoir in advance. β
"To my surprise, this Qiongdan girl turned out to be a martial artist in the bone change stage, and she was still a Netherworld Sect member. β
ps: "I haven't revised it yet...... See again tomorrow. β
