That year, that cicada, that sword

Chapter 355

At dawn, Xu Beiyou, who hadn't slept all night, opened his eyes, and the endlessly circulating qi in his body returned to the dormancy of three yuan. After exhaling a mouthful of stale air, the fresh air rose by itself, a strand of white hair quietly turned black, and his whole body was shining brightly.

Xu Beiyou stretched out his hand to stroke his temples, where there was only a strand of black hair left, which was usually hidden in the white hair, and he couldn't help but sigh, not knowing when it would turn back to full of black hair.

A swordsman outside the door reported, "Young master, there are troops from the south of the Yangtze River."

"Tell him to wait in the main hall, and I'll come later." Xu Beiyou collected his thoughts, got up and said.

The swordsman outside the door responded and left.

When Xu Beiyou came to the main hall, he was slightly startled. The person from the Jiangnan army was a half-acquaintance. It was Bai Yu who assassinated him that day. Later, he accidentally captured him and brought him back to Jiangdu City to be imprisoned. Finally, he handed it over to Yu Kuang , together with the Yin-Yang Potential Breaking Bow, returned to its original owner.

What happened after Baiyu, Xu Beiyou didn't pay any more attention, but he heard that this woman is also a poor person, her grandfather died on the tower when he followed Wei Jin to attack Xiangyang, and his father was accidentally killed while killing the remnants of the White Lotus Sect. The Nirvana Curse of the demon of the White Lotus Sect was almost impossible to save. After returning, he was lingering on the bed for three years, and finally died of torture.

Since the death of Mr. Fu, the White Lotus Sect has been divided into two. One of them is led by Tang Shengyue, which is considered to be obedient to the imperial court, and the other part is to resist to the end. Killing endlessly, but for so many years, those remnants of the White Lotus Sect are still like weeds, spring breeze blows and regenerates, killing and punishing them endlessly.

Bai Yu's father died at the hands of the remnants of the White Lotus Sect, which is considered a sacrifice for the country. Therefore, Bai Yu was able to join the Jiangnan Army and inherited his father's commanding position, but it was not easy for a woman to gain a foothold in the army. But it is not easy to be firmly suppressed in a commanding position.

When the old man met, Bai Yu's eyes were dark, but there was not much resentment in reason, but it was rather complicated, and he said plainly: "Bai Yu, deputy commander of the Tianji Battalion of the rear army, has met Mr. Xu."

Mr. Xu smiled and said: "Vice Dutong, you have been promoted to a higher level. Congratulations to Miss Bai."

Bai Yu's tone did not fluctuate, and said: "It's all thanks to the promotion of the governor."

Xu Beiyou chuckled, "Then do your best and don't disappoint Governor Yu."

Bai Yu lowered his head and didn't speak.

Xu Beiyou walked out, followed closely by Bai Yu.

Standing on the side of the boat, Xu Beiyou looked at the faintly visible Jiangling City in the distance. There are many mountains and rivers in the south of the Yangtze River, and it is a place where horses cannot run. The cities in the south of the Yangtze River are so graceful and graceful, as delicate as a woman.

He said softly: "Vice Dutong Bai, how many people do you have in Jiangling City?"

Bai Yu replied, "About 800 people."

Xu Beiyou frowned and said, "Jiangling, one of the three great towns in Huzhou, has only [-] troops?"

Bai Yu said softly: "Jiangling has been an important town in Huzhou since ancient times, and its importance is self-evident. Naturally, there are not only [-] garrisons, but a total of more than [-] garrisons, mostly infantry. The time of mastering Jiangnan is too short, and I have not yet grasped this elite team."

Xu Beiyou said with a smile: "You know how to speak for the new master so soon? I didn't expect our Governor Yu to be sympathetic and cherish jade. Could it be that he has other thoughts?"

Bai Yu froze for a moment, then blushed.

Xu Beiyou said indifferently: "Yu Kuang invited me to Huzhou this time with impure intentions. He said he was going to Liangxiang as a guest, but in fact he still wanted me to come to Jiangling to help him open up the situation in Jiangling."

Bai Yu didn't know how to respond.

Xu Beiyou said with emotion: "But now I really want to go to Jiangling to see the elegant demeanor of the Li family in Jiangling."

Jiangling, Li's family.

After walking out of the other courtyard, all the cowardice on Li Qingyu's face disappeared, leaving only the color of determination.

A confidant hurried over and said in a soft voice: "Patriarch, Inspector Zhao sent someone to pass the word that Mr. Xu from Jiangdu has arrived outside Jiangling City."

Li Qingyu asked calmly: "How many people?"

The confidant said: "There will never be more than 50 people."

Li Qingyu fell silent.

The confidant whispered: "However, it is reported that Mr. Xu has already set foot in the realm of the earth fairy."

Li Qingyu opened his eyes wide suddenly, "This is serious?!"

The confidant hesitated for a moment, and said, "There are eight out of ten possibilities."

"Heroes are really young." Li Qingyu murmured: "He who is less than 30 years old in the realm of the fairyland, no wonder he has such courage."

Li Qingyu waved his hand, signaling his confidant to back down.

Back in the study room of Li's residence, a middle-aged Confucian scholar had already been waiting here, with a jade hairpin on his hair, and a broken purple bamboo fan in his hand.

The sky is blue and white.

Seeing Li Qingyu, the Confucian scholar asked, "What's the result of this trip?"

Li Qingyu shook his head bitterly and said: "The old man is stubborn, but he still looks for the big boat of Lanyu, and he refuses to get off the boat."

The Confucian scholar spread out the folding fan in his hand and fanned it lightly, "Unsurprisingly, the old man is still more willing to believe in Lan Xiang, who has been rooted in the temple for a long time, but Han Xiang, who has made a comeback, is not easy to get along with. The Li family is sandwiched between the two Xiangye. It's hard to be human."

Li Qingyu's eyes were gloomy, "Looking at the current situation in the temple, the two prime ministers are determined to compete in a corner of the south of the Yangtze River. Huzhou, as the garrison of the Jiangnan army, is of course the most important thing. Now the two Xiangs have all belonged to the hands of Prime Minister Han. There is only one Jiangling left in the three major towns in Huzhou, Lan Xiang will not give up easily no matter what, and the Li family has been rooted in Jiangling for generations, so where can they escape?"

The Confucian smiled lightly and said: "The general situation in Huzhou is gone, and the Li family can't stand alone. If you insist on staying on Lanyu's boat, you will only burn yourself on the fire. Lord Qingyu made a decision in the morning."

"Yes, I made a decision that morning." Li Qingyu murmured to himself, "How many years have passed since I inherited the position of Patriarch of the Li family?"

The Confucian scholar calmly said: "20 years."

"20 years." Li Qingyu said slowly, "How many 20 years will there be in a hundred years of life?"

The Confucian scholar said with a smile: "The lifespan of great monks in the realm of the immortals can reach 200 years, and 20 years is really nothing to them."

Li Qingyu clenched his right hand into a fist, and a look of ferocity flashed across his face, "But I don't have so many 20 years to wait."

"That's why." The Confucian scholar played with taste: "Time does not wait for me, and when it is stopped, it will be broken."

Li Qingyu took a deep breath, and said solemnly: "I still need Mr. Xu to help me."

The Confucian scholar named Mr. Xu nodded and said: "That should be the case. As long as Qing Yugong can make up his mind, I can take out that thing and help Qing Yugong go further. It is enough to go to Qingyujuzhong to compete."

Li Qingyu's expression was complicated. He had just come out of the leisurely residence. Ever since he became the head of the Li family, that quiet courtyard almost became his lingering nightmare.

Go there to compete?
This is something he has always wanted to do but dared not do.

Mr. Xu observed his words, and added a handful of firewood to Li Qingyu, who was about to burn, "Only in danger can we seek wealth and honor."

Li Qingyu finally made up his mind, got up from the seat, and said in a deep voice: "The victory or defeat depends on one action."
