The counterattack of the villains

Chapter 461 The Battle Is Coming
"You said Mr. Li." When Li Mu was mentioned, Zhao Xun was also full of admiration, "His name is Li Mu, his character is Taibai, he is from the middle of Sichuan, and he served my father more than two years ago."

"This person is really a strange person in the world. He is proficient in everything, including literature, military strategy, medicine, divination, astrology, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, farming and business."

"Besides, his martial arts are unfathomable. The first-rank Grandmaster enshrined in the mansion can't even catch a single move from him."

"His wife seems to be a member of the Taoist sect, who is good at using the technique of thunder, magic and talismans. He also has four followers, two men and two women, and they are all twin brothers and twin sisters. All of them have extraordinary martial arts."

"In short, he is the number one counselor and expert under my father's command, and he can be called my father's right-hand man."

After listening to Zhao Xun's words, Zhao Kai's eyes flickered slightly, and he asked again: "I don't know how the prince is related to this Mr. Li? Maybe he can be invited?"

Zhao Xun said with a smile: "The relationship is good. Don't forget, I will always be the master of Qingzhou in the future. Mr. Li is only in his 30s and still young. He will eventually work for me in the future."

Joy flashed in Zhao Kai's eyes, and he said sincerely: "Your Highness, the so-called filial piety comes first, and the son should relieve the prince's worries."

When Zhao Xun heard this, the smile on his face faded, and he frowned and said, "You mean let me take action?"

Zhao Kai nodded solemnly and said: "Then Xu Fengnian left Beiliang, he must have expert guards by his side."

"But if the son can invite Mr. Li to help, and with the help I found, then Xu Fengnian will not escape this disaster."

Zhao Xun was quite moved, and said with a little hesitation: "So...it's not impossible, but what is the strength of the help you found?"

Zhao Kai smiled slightly, then suddenly pointed to a vegetable stall not far away, and said, "My lord, look over there."

Zhao Xun looked in the direction he pointed, only to see a very ordinary-looking young man in a gray cloth gown, picking vegetables in front of the vegetable stall, and asked in surprise, "Just him?"

Zhao Kai smiled and said nothing, waited for the young man to buy vegetables and was about to leave before saying: "Your Majesty, please follow me."

The two walked up to the young man who was buying vegetables and blocked his way.

The young man just looked at the two of them indifferently, neither speaking nor making any movements.

Zhao Kai asked Zhao Xun, who was examining the young man, "Does your son know about the sword tomb of the Wu family?"

Zhao Xun withdrew his gaze, looked at Zhao Kai and said, "Of course I know, sword celestial beings come forth in large numbers, and it's a forbidden place in the world."

Zhao Kai walked around the young man slowly, talking eloquently: "The Wu family has produced a talented swordsman in recent years. He came out of the sword mound at the age of 20 and challenged all the swordsmen in the world. He has never been defeated."

"This person is the hope of the new generation of the Wu family, the contemporary sword champion Wu Liuding."

After listening to Zhao Kai's words, Zhao Xun was a little suspicious, because no matter how he looked at it, it was difficult for him to see the demeanor of a master from Wu Liuding, who was holding a Chinese cabbage.

Wu Liuding said indifferently: "Are you finished? I still want to buy salt."

After finishing speaking, he was about to leave, but Zhao Kai's words made him stop again.

"Sir is in Qingzhou, are you waiting for Xu Fengnian?"

Wu Liuding said indifferently: "What does it have to do with you?"

Zhao Kai walked back in front of Wu Liuding and said solemnly: "Prince Jing'an, I would like to inquire about Xu Fengnian's whereabouts for Mr. Wang, and I will send you information as soon as I have any news."

This was a help that Wu Liuding could not refuse. He finally looked at Zhao Kai and asked calmly, "What do you want?"

Zhao Kaicheng said: "I don't want anything, I am satisfied to see Mr. make a move."

I have to say that Zhao Kai is really talented as a lobbyist. This sentence not only expressed his own appeal, but also secretly praised Wu Liuding.

Even with Wu Liuding's composure, he couldn't help but feel at ease. He took a deep look at Zhao Kai, turned and left silently.

After Wu Liuding walked away, Zhao Xun asked in confusion: "Why did the Wu family attack Xu Fengnian?"

Zhao Kai explained: "Xu Fengnian's mother was originally the sword crown of the previous generation of the Wu Family Sword Tomb, and came out of the sword tomb for Xu Xiao."

Looking at Wu Liuding's back, the corner of his mouth curled up, and he continued: "Now the new generation, it's time to settle the old score."

……

For half a month, the boat was driving in the water, and everyone did not have much activity, so they practiced diligently, and the boat was relatively quiet.

After half a month of penance, Jiang Ni felt a little bored, and her practice was always out of state.

Thinking of what Luo Li told her, cultivation also needs to be relaxed and moderate, and one should not blindly strive for perfection. Except when breaking through the realm, it is not advisable to continue to retreat for too long, otherwise haste makes waste. In the cabin, go to the deck to get some air and take a rest to adjust.

After arriving on the deck, I saw Xu Fengnian, who was also in a state of penance, sitting on the bow of the deck with his legs hanging outside the deck. Presumably, like her, he came out to adjust his state.

She walked behind Xu Fengnian and said casually, "Aren't you afraid of falling?"

Xu Fengnian said without looking back: "The scenery here is beautiful, why don't you sit down and try it?"

Jiang Ni was as arrogant as ever, turned her head and said, "I'm not good at water."

Xu Fengnian raised a hand and said, "With me here, I can't fall."

Seeing this, Jiang Ni grabbed his arm, sat down on the edge of the bow, stretched his legs out of the deck, and hung them on the outer wall.

The river wind blowing in front of them blew their hair. A flock of wild geese flew by in the sky, singing birdsong. Looking at the smoky river in the distance, Jiang Ni gradually relaxed.

On the roof of the cabin, Zheng Zha and Li Chungang, who were sitting here looking at the scenery, couldn't help smiling knowingly as they looked at the backs of a pair of young people.

Enjoying the tranquility at this moment, Jiang Ni said with a relaxed expression: "This lake is much bigger than the one in the mansion."

Xu Fengnian said: "That's incomparable. Eight hundred miles away, Chunshen Lake accommodates the world's waterways and handles great rivers. It has always been a place for military strategists to fight to the death."

"King Jing'an sits in Qingzhou, and the water breeder occupies Chunshen Lake, which is to use the natural danger to deny Beiliang."

"This kind of big lake is unique even if it is placed in the world."

"It's so long-winded." Jiang Ni rolled his eyes at him, and said, she didn't bother to listen to this.

Xu Fengnian smiled, didn't care, and asked instead: "How is your cultivation going?"

Talking about this Jiang Ni, he became energetic, and said with some complacency: "Ali passed on my Tai Chi Xuan Qing Dao, and I have already cultivated to the third level."

"In a month or more at most, I will be able to break through the fourth layer of repelling objects, and then I can sacrifice the flying sword and fly with the sword."

Xu Fengnian turned to look at her with a smile, and asked, "Do you have a sword that can be sacrificed?"

"Uh..." Jiang Ni froze, and then said unconvinced: "I have a talisman, although it is a little small, it is enough to stab you to death."

Xu Fengnian laughed and said, "It's enough to stab me to death, but the talisman is a dagger, so small it's not enough for you to step on it, how do you fly with a sword?"

"Xu Fengnian..." Jiang Ni shouted angrily, "You just want to make me feel painless..."

"Why don't you sacrifice the Great Liang Dragon Sparrow."

Before Jiang Ni finished speaking, Xu Fengnian suddenly said such a sentence, which made her stop abruptly.

She exclaimed, "Are you crazy? Is this your mother's sword, or...or..."

Xu Fengnian turned a deaf ear to her words, and said to himself: "The most important part of the divine sword's secret art of controlling thunder lies in the sword. It's not easy to find a divine sword that can withstand such heavenly power."

"The Great Liang Dragon Sparrow is made of meteoric iron from outside the sky. It is indestructible and indestructible. It is the most suitable divine sword for you."

Jiang Ni stared blankly at Xu Fengnian, but didn't know what to say. His attitude was very firm, and she knew it was useless to refuse.

But do they... really have a future?

Jiang Ni lowered her head and said calmly, "If the Great Liang Dragon Sparrow falls into my hands, your second sister will be the first one to kill me."

Xu Fengnian smiled and said, "Can't you run? When you master the skill of controlling the sword, who can catch up with you? I have never heard that my second sister can fly."

Jiang Ni said in a daze: "Run? Where can I go?"

Xu Fengnian fell silent, Jiang Ni didn't know what he and Zheng Zha were planning.

If he wanted to borrow the knife, he would have to pay some price. I am afraid that when he borrowed the knife, it would be the day when Jiang Ni left temporarily.

I hope Zheng Zha can be as reliable as ever this time, otherwise he would rather not borrow this knife.

After a long silence, Xu Fengnian spoke again: "Don't think too much, Xu Xiao said that if you walk on the road, you will have your own future. I always believe that the boat will be straight when it reaches the bridge."

As soon as he said this, Zheng Zha's voice sounded behind him: "It's not that easy to get to the bridgehead, and it requires powerful force to escort it."

"Cultivating internal skills these days is a bit boring, right? It just so happens that your skills have improved recently, and you are about to go to Qingzhou. There will be a big battle at that time. Today I will teach you another sword technique."

Xu Fengnian was overjoyed when he heard the words, he got up, turned around and looked at Zheng Zha and said excitedly: "What kind of sword technique do you want to teach me? Do you want to swallow the sky and destroy the earth?"

Zheng Zha laughed dumbly and said, "How dare you think, if you want to practice the Seven Limits of Swallowing Heaven and Exterminating Earth, you must at least have a foundation in the Celestial Phenomena Realm, and you are still far behind."

"The one I want to pass on to you is called the Wuer Dao Technique, which means the Unparalleled Sword Technique in the world. This sword technique emphasizes the meaning but not the form, and it has both sword and sword moves."

"Therefore, you can use this saber technique alone, or you can take its essence and blend it into the creation knife to create your own fourth saber technique."

Xu Fengnian asked curiously: "Brother Zheng, is the sword stronger or the sword move stronger?"

Zheng Zha grinned, and borrowed the extremely pretentious words of Li Chungang from the original plot: "If I use the sword to defeat the enemy, the sword is powerful. If I use the sword to kill people, the sword move is better than the world's sword."

"The same martial art has different powers in the hands of different people, so it is never martial arts that are strong, but people."

Xu Fengnian suddenly realized, compared his thumbs to Zheng Zha, and said with a smile: "Understood, you are the best."

Zheng Zha laughed, patted Xu Fengnian on the shoulder, and said, "Let's go, let's go to the stern."

After Xu Fengnian and Zheng Zha went to the stern of the boat, Li Chungang also walked up to Jiang Ni, and said with a smile: "Girl, you are idle anyway, why don't you teach you a sword technique as a teacher."

Jiang Ni's face immediately wrinkled into a ball, and she said with extreme resistance: "That's so tiring, I will be able to learn the art of controlling the sword in a month or so, so why do I need to practice swordsmanship?"

Li Chungang said: "Even if you have learned the art of controlling the sword, is it just to control the flying sword and stab randomly? That can't deal with a master."

"The real art of controlling the sword is Ling Kong Yujian's exquisite swordsmanship. In this way, your opponent is fighting with a sword. No matter what, they can't hurt you. You are invincible land."

Hearing what Li Chungang said, Jiang Ni reluctantly said: "That's it, that's fine."

Li Chungang smiled happily, even if he began to teach Jiang Ni swordsmanship enthusiastically, he didn't need to actually hold the sword, just use the fingers of the sword instead.

After all, as Zheng Zha once said, weapons are the extension of the arms, especially knives and swords. Even without weapons, you can still perform corresponding moves with your hands.

……

In the blink of an eye, another few days passed, and the Beiliang fleet was already within easy reach of Xiangfan City.

The others didn't have any idea, it was time to practice martial arts, it was time to go to sleep, only Shu Shu felt inexplicably uneasy.

It stands to reason that Wang Linquan should have come to greet Xu Fengnian long ago, and exposed himself to show an attitude to King Jing'an.

But up to this moment, Wang Linquan has still disappeared. Could something be wrong?
It shouldn't be, Wang Linquan has been lurking in Qingzhou for more than [-] years and has never had any problems. Could it be that at this critical moment, he will suddenly be exposed?
At this time, Shu Shuo was sitting high on the mast, and below the bow and stern of the ship, there were two groups of people practicing martial arts.

Jiang Ni is at the bow, Li Chungang and Luo Li are pointing from the side, Xu Fengnian is at the stern, and Zheng Zha is in charge of training.

Qingniao and Wei Shuyang watched Zheng Zha teach Xu Fengnian from the stern, while Lu Qiantang watched Li Chungang and Luoli teach Jiang Ni from the bow.

Zheng Zha and Li Chungang do not shy away from other people watching from the sidelines. Whether it is Zheng Zha's unique sword technique or Li Chungang's two-sleeved green snake, the most important thing is the use of internal force.

Without the cooperation of the mind, what is the use of optically obtaining a move?Naturally, they taught them privately in the cabin.

If Qingniao and the others can learn these two unique skills just by watching from the sidelines, then Li Chungang and Zheng Zha also recognize that such aptitude is worth cultivating.

In the past few days, both of them have practiced martial arts well. Even Li Chungang is a little jealous of such aptitude, because the two of them really learned faster than he did back then.

However, they only learned it initially, without actual combat, so they are not really mastered, especially Jiang Ni.

Xu Fengnian has been practicing for so long anyway, and Zheng Zha usually feeds him moves and trains his actual combat ability, while Jiang Ni is completely young and has just started practicing martial arts.

The opportunity for actual combat came soon, and Shu Shu, who was sitting on the mast, suddenly called out to the people below: "My lord, there is a boat ahead."

Jiang Ni at the bow turned his head to look, and said in surprise: "What a big boat."

Luo Li looked at the three large ships approaching, and said, "This is the Huanglonglou ship of the Qingzhou Navy."

Xu Fengnian and Zheng Zha rushed to the bow quickly. When they saw the three big ships forming an inverted triangle with two in front and one in back, Xu Fengnian's expression sank, and he said, "They are coming for us, everyone, get ready to fight."

Shu Shu felt a little more uneasy. The opponent came aggressively and put on an attacking formation. It was obvious that it could never be Wang Linquan.

What happened to Wang Linquan?Do you want to take the initiative to tell the prince about Wang Linquan's situation?
