Lu Yan shook his head and he was confused. "If Li Guanshu did not die in Xu Qingfeng's hands, then he could only die in the hands of the Taoist disciples of Zhongnan Mountain. Perhaps not all the Taoist disciples of Zhongnan Mountain had besieged Nangong Diyi. Some of them killed Li Guanshu after Xu Qingfeng and more than a dozen disciples of Sanqingguan were killed by Li Guanshu."
"All these are speculations! I want the truth!" Wei Baoheng was furious. "None of those youths of the Imperial Clan know the inside story?"
Lu Yan replied, "When Grand Prince Gong's Heir Apparent returned, he was seriously injured and his attendant disappeared. Perhaps they knew something, but they said nothing about Niushou Mountain after they returned."
Wei Baoheng waved his hand. "Pressure them! Especially Grand Prince Gong and Duchess of Li, their attendants have the highest cultivation among the youths of the Imperial Clan. I don't believe that one of the mas
In the afternoon, it rained heavily. A richly decorated carriage, coming from the heavy rain, entered the Prince An's Manor. Li Ye was waiting at the place where the carriage was parked. When the carriage stopped, he took the umbrella from the servant and went into the rain to hold an umbrella for the people who got out of the carriage. "Elder Brother Ye, why did you open an umbrella?" It was Prince Pu, Li Yan, who stepped out of the carriage. He looked up at the edge of the umbrella. "It's raining. Of course, we need an umbrella." Li Ye smiled and ushered Li Yan into the veranda. Then he took the umbrella and handed it back to the servant. Li Yan cleaned the sporadic drops of water on his sleeves and sniffed at Li Ye's behavior. "If we still need an umbrella when it rains, what's the use of our cultivations?" Li Ye smiled and said nothing, just pulling Li Yan into the house. He now had
Saying that, he looked at Li Ye. "I wonder if Vice Magistrate likes this Green Ant wine." Li Ye smiled and said, "Why I don't think this wine is a strong alcoholic?" The man blinked curiously. "Doesn't my tongue work?" Li Ye said, "I'm afraid you're drunk. A drunk person will naturally say the wine is a strong alcoholic." The man laughed. "It would be a shame if I'm drunk due to the non-alcoholic drinks." Saying that, he raised the wine pot to Li Ye. "No matter it's a strong alcoholic or not, I use this wine to congratulate Your Highness for taking up the post of the vice magistrate of Chang'an Office." With that, he raised his head and drank all the wine in the wine pot. He drank heroically, but the wine wasn't spilled at all, which showed that he didn't pretend to be heroic. Li Ye liked people who loved wine because he himself was such a person. People were always fond of people with
Maple Courier Station, 180 miles west of Luoyang City. It was a large-scale courier station. There were 20 horses and rooms that could accommodate 100 people. At dusk, the sunshine was still a little hot and spreading on the old mottled walls. The smell of the earth was fresh. On the other side of the official road in front of the courier station, there was a small river. At this time, a young servant in grey clothes was picking up some fishes from the fish pond beside the river. He dug their intestines and scales over there. The blood flowed into the river and went with it. "You are very skillful in cutting fish." An elderly man paced up and saw the young servant's flexible tactics. He was somewhat surprised. "Did you specially practice it before coming?" The young servant in grey didn't take it seriously. "I could kill people, let alone fishes." The elder man squatted beside him, pulled out a tobac
When the young servant in grey opened the door, he saw Kang Chengxun sitting in the room and an old man who seemed to be his trusted subordinate standing beside him. Compared with Kang Chengxun who was angry, the old man seemed calmer and more relaxed. Seeing the young servant in grey coming in, the old man looked at him. Although he just glanced at him casually, the young servant in grey felt great pressure. The young servant in grey put dishes and drink on table one by one and calculated the strength of the old man silently in his mind. He took time to look at the elder man who helped him, and found that he shook his head gently to him. The young servant in grey understood his meaning. The elder man couldn't overwhelm the old man in an instant. According to the young servant's previous understanding, Kang Chengxun's cultivation was in the same realm as Li Guanshu. They were in Qi-refining Level 6. In theory, a cultivator of Qi-refining Level 6 was not q
The moment the old man in black attacked, Song Jiao knew that she had no way out and her identity had to be exposed. She had no choice. If she did not fight back at this time, she would be killed by the old man in black, at least would be seriously injured. Now, she could not afford the consequences of serious injuries. If her identity was exposed, she and Li Ye would surely fall into the situation of being besieged. There were many masters around Kang Chengxun to protect him. Even Song Jiao was not sure that she could successfully leave with Li Ye. It was too late to think about it. "Well... let's fight!" At the moment when the old man in black moved, Song Jiao decided to start a fight. She punched. The agitated spirit surged madly. The doors, windows, and railings of the building without the protection of Formation and Enchantment burst in an instant, turned into powder and flew in all directions.
After leaving Kang Chengxun's severed head, Li Ye and Song Jiao prowled the mountain for some time before they came to a ridge. From there they watched as Kang Chengxun's followers found his headless body. They became enraged and bombarded countless trees with their techniques. In the glow of white light, they hesitated for a moment and then retreated, just as Li Ye had expected. During the seventh lunar month, the nights were good most of the time and today was no different. Bathed in moonlight, the mountains rose and fell. Song Jiao sat down on a raised rock and breathed a sigh of relief. She wasn't afraid that she couldn't catch up in the pursuit, but was worried that if they caught up, Li Ye would not escape with his current level of cultivation. Taking out the tobacco pipe secured at her waist, Song Jiao skillfully rolled, lit and smoked the tobacco leaves. When she blew out a smoke ring, she was intoxicated Li Ye sat down beside Song J
"In autumn or winter, the Imperial Court will hold the performance assessment in order to extract talents from the officials of the vassal states. The current situation in Hebei is so terrible, and I do not know what will happen when the officials of the vassal states rush into Chang'an." Instead of answering Song Jiao's question, Li Ye sent out a sigh of emotion. Song Jiao hesitated and suddenly asked, "Now that you have become an official of the Imperial Court, and the situation in the world has reached this point, not far from chaos. As a descendant of the Imperial Clan and an official in the officialdom, what are your plans for the future?" Li Ye had thought about this question long before. Since Song Jiao asked about him, he didn't want to conceal his ideas. "In the present dynasty, the government has been deeply corrupted, and the social roots have been broken. It's impossible for several talented officials to change the situation. It's useless for
After Li Guanshu took Li Yao back from Prince An's Manor, he spent lots of resources helping Li Yao repair his Ocean of Qi that had been broken down by Li Ye. Li Guanshu had great wealth, but he only helped Li Yao to repair part of his Ocean of Qi. At present, Li Yao only had the Level 1 cultivation of Qi-refining. Although he would stay only at Level 1 of Qi-refining for his whole life, it was better than having no cultivation. The Imperial Court declared that Li Guanshu had been killed by the rebels of Sanqingguan when he rescued the youths of the Imperial Clan. So, now Li Yao had not been driven out of his manor. But, compared with the situation when Li Guanshu had been alive, the situation now was undoubtedly very different. When Li Ye appeared, Li Yao was being kicked out of the gate by another youth of the Imperial Clan and fell on the street in front of the door. Li Yao quickly got up and, regardless of wiping the bloods
