That year, that cicada, that sword

Chapter 191

The sword energy dissipated, revealing the figure of the unknown master of the dark guard. Most of the brocade robe on his body was destroyed, wounds were open everywhere, bloody and bloody, and his whole body was almost stained with blood, but he still stood upright.

Xu Beiyou didn't look at him, but slowly put his sword back into its sheath. This move fell into the eyes of all the women, it was really a general's style, and it made all the ladies from Jiangnan who were used to seeing elegant men feel very novel.

Xu Beiyou didn't intend to continue to attack, he looked at Duanmuyu and said softly: "What a strong pass like iron."

Duanmuyu shook his folding fan lightly, indifferent to the sudden death of his loyal guards, and said in admiration: "Scholar farewell for three days, you should look at him with admiration, brother Xu entered the country so fast, I am afraid that if we see you next time, brother Xu will directly take my neck Is there a head?"

Xu Beiyou moved forward with his sword, and said, "His Royal Highness has already returned to Beijing, why is Brother Duanmu still stranded in the south of the Yangtze River?"

Duanmuyu narrowed her eyes, playing with taste: "What? Brother Xu, can't wait to drink my wedding wine?"

Xu Beiyou said flatly: "Don't talk too much, lest you face yourself in the future."

Duanmuyu looked down at Xu Beiyou who was about to walk onto the platform.

Today's Xu Beiyou is already qualified to ask the Dark Guard Mansion to prepare a dossier for him. Duanmuyu has also read it. Even he has to admire Xu Beiyou's fast climbing speed and good luck. The battle on Biyou Island, Gongsun Zhongmou, who was holding Zhuxian, was dead, but he didn't die, not only did he not die, he escaped to heaven with Zhuxian.Jiangnan and his party were obstructed by the Temple of Demon Suppression, but finally let him go to Jiangnan to meet Zhang Xueyao.And that trip to Danxia village that he regretted unceasingly, Xiao Zhinan, whose eyes were higher than the top, somehow fell in love with this kid. The originally rural young man who seemed like nothing to him had grown up to be able to The point where you stand shoulder to shoulder with yourself.

Duanmuyu doesn't think she is a big-hearted person, and sometimes she really looks down on others.

Especially people like Xu Beiyou.

Duanmuyu closed her folding fan, walked straight down the platform, and was about to leave this place, but when she passed by Xu Beiyou, she was stopped by Xu Beiyou's hand.

Xu Beiyou said softly: "Brother Duanmu is leaving? Since you are leaving, why don't you give me another thought. I think this folding fan is not bad. How about giving it to me? Anyway, you are not worthy of those four words."

Duanmuyu's face suddenly became gloomy, and she tightly held the folding fan which was inscribed by Emperor Xiao himself.

In the end, Duanmuyu still threw the folding fan in his hand to Xu Beiyou, and said slowly: "I am waiting for Brother Xu in the imperial capital."

Xu Beiyou caught the folding fan, showing a faint smile, "Definitely."

Duanmuyu ignored his subordinates who were already dead, and strode away.

As soon as he left, many hidden guards who had been hiding in the dark also moved accordingly, like a shadow receding without a trace.

Holding a folding fan, Xu Beiyou walked onto the platform unhurriedly, and greeted each other with a group of people.

Since it was Xu Beiyou who forced Duanmuyu away, these local snakes who are used to seeing the wind and the wind are naturally very enthusiastic about Xu Beiyou, surrounded him into the Wuliang Hall, and got to know each other with everyone in the hall. Xu Beiyou has taken his foothold in the south of the Yangtze River. first step.

After that, Xu Beiyou didn't do anything surprising, kept silent, and just drifted along to participate in the entire assembly. During this time, he observed the scholars who were about to participate in the autumn as a half-elder, and exchanged greetings with the inspector of Jiangzhou. A few to-the-point words, even indifferent to the intentional or unintentional eyebrows of several aristocratic women.

This made Zhang An, the female champion, a little surprised. It is not surprising that young people are passionate. Most young people with some skills want to seduce all the girls. It is not easy to be self-controlled and not be tempted. Not like a 20-year-old young man, but rather an old man who sees through the world.

On this point, Zhang An was mistaken. It wasn’t that Xu Beiyou was so pure and ascetic that he could turn a blind eye to women, but that the seas were too difficult for water. There was Zhu Yu, a beautiful woman like Xiao Zhinan, Zhang Xueyao, Qin Mumian, and Tang Shengyue. Behind these elders who are also all-powerful, even Li Qinglian, his younger sister who doesn't match his eyes, is a first-class beauty, and his vision has been elevated to a very high level invisibly.

In all fairness, Xu Beiyou is a character who pays attention to queerness rather than excess, which is quite different from Duanmuyu who never refuses anyone who comes. These middle-of-the-road girls are really not enough to tempt him.

Besides, Xu Beiyou never thought that a person whose mind is full of men and women's affairs all day can be very promising, talk about sex?love?It was too extravagant for Xu Beiyou, who used to eat cold and dry food every day.

Even if he was lucky enough to get to know Xiao Zhinan, Xu Beiyou didn't think that he could sit back and relax just by climbing into Xiao Zhinan's big boat. Xiao Zhinan could make him a master, but he couldn't help him revive the Sword Sect.In the final analysis, what others give is the background, and what you build yourself is the country.

For Xu Beiyou, the biggest gain from this gathering was getting to know the Jiangzhou procurator.

In terms of official rank, according to the inspectors, they are the third-rank officials in the borderlands. They cannot be said to be top officials, but they hold real power.Jiangnan is a wealthy place, and it is not an ordinary person who can hold the position of the chief officer of the third department here. Xu Beiyou is not good at dealing with these elite figures, and he is not good at handling favors. It's not easy to refuse people thousands of miles away. There are three divisions in one state, headed by the procuratorate, who is in charge of civil affairs.Don't underestimate the inspector because of this, some industries between black and white have to rely on the inspector to raise their hands, and Mrs. Luo under Qin Mumian's hand cannot do without dealing with the inspector.

Xu Beiyou wanted to establish a foothold in the south of the Yangtze River. It didn't mean that one person could lay down a huge foundation with one sword, nor did he mean that he could run rampant with a deep background. He had to deal with these entangled local snakes.The sooner he accumulates incense and affection, the sooner he can establish his own "big network" in Jiangnan.

After the meeting, Xu Beiyou said goodbye to Master Li Zhangli who had a good chat with each other. He secretly made up his mind that in addition to deepening the Jiangnan Jianzong line, he should also start to establish a line of his own. In other words, what should belong to Jianzong belongs to Jianzong, what should belong to Xu Beiyou belongs to Xu Beiyou.

Just like the master divides the monstrous wealth, what should belong to Jianzong stay on Biyou Island, and what should belong to Gongsun's family will be kept by his wife.

After all, he is not the justifiable master of Jianzong, so it is beneficial and harmless to distinguish clearly.

The three of Xu Beiyou walked slowly outside the temple gate, and Lao Wu was already waiting outside the gate in his carriage.

Xu Beiyou and Li Qinglian bid farewell to Zhang An and got into the carriage.

Li Qinglian looked at the folding fan in Xu Beiyou's hand, a little curious.She who was supposed to be the protagonist today was completely robbed of the limelight by Xu Beiyou, so that she could only sit with a group of women from aristocratic families and talk about women's private affairs. Confirmed the identity of Jianzong's new speaker.

After going through this series of events, Li Qinglian no longer had the previous arrogance, lowered her posture a lot, and asked softly, "What's the secret of this folding fan?"

Xu Beiyou unfolded the folding fan, revealing the four characters "Xiongguan is like iron" on the fan. Even Li Qinglian couldn't help but secretly stunned. Let's not comment on the strength of these four characters, but the divine spirit contained in them rushed to the face, really swallowing mountains and rivers It is absolutely impossible for ordinary people to have such momentum if they are not in that position.

Xu Beiyou, who was also eye-opening, couldn't help sighing: "The authentic handwriting of Emperor Xiao, this is not an ordinary thing. I have seen Princess Qi Yang's handwriting, which is very similar to Xiao Huang's handwriting, but the imposing manner in it is far less .”

Xu Beiyou handed over the folding fan to Li Qinglian.

Li Qinglian was a little confused.

Xu Beiyou put his hands on his knees, closed his eyes and said softly, "This should be the way of kingship, which is better than domineering. If you practice the sword of kingly way, feeling the true meaning of these four characters will be of great benefit to your own way of swordsmanship."

While speaking, Xu Beiyou's hands on his knees began to ooze blood, and within a short while, they were already dripping with blood.

Li Qinglian was in a complicated mood. After a moment of silence, she couldn't help asking: "What happened to your hand?"

Xu Beiyou leaned back on the carriage, and said indifferently: "Crossing the border to kill immortals, how can we do it without paying a price."

The dominance of Zhu Xian's sword qi was beyond Xu Beiyou's expectation, not only his hands, but even the tendons of his arms were damaged to varying degrees, but the Zhu Xian sword qi came out from his hands, so his hands were more seriously injured.
