Comprehensive martial arts: Qixia town storytellers, the beginning of the tie to Qiao Feng

Chapter 270: Conquering the Song Clan in the South and Rejecting Wu Zhao in the North!
Ruan Ruan came to Zuixianju again.

This time, she came here to show off her might.

In five days, she used six tricks in a row to help Qiu Shenji easily defeat Xu Jingye's army.

Now that Xu Jingye's army has suffered a lot and has returned to Yangzhou, there is no way out.

Right now, as long as Qiu Shenji's army attacks again, Xu Jingye's army can be wiped out in one go!

She wants to see if Lu Yan can continue to say "you don't deserve it" in the face of her record!

When Ruan Ruan walked into the lobby of Zuixianju, he immediately saw Lu Yan who was collecting rewards.

She walked up to Lu Yan, put a gold leaf on the tray, and said, "My family is in a good mood today, and this is your reward."

Lu Yan glanced at Jin Yezi, then raised his head to look at Ruan Ruan, and said, "Then thank you, Miss."

Seeing that Lu Yan accepted the reward frankly, Ruan Ruan couldn't help being curious, and asked, "Don't you think this is humiliating you?"

Lu Yan smiled lightly and said, "I'm a storyteller, and I receive money for storytelling, why do you think it's humiliating me?"

Ruan Ruan said: "But your martial arts are world-class, you are resourceful, you are a rare figure in the world."

Lu Yan pointed to the ground and replied, "This is Zuixianju, and here I am a storyteller."

Hearing Lu Yan's answer, Ruan Ruan gave Lu Yan a very strange look.

She had never seen such a weird person as Lu Yan.

With Lu Yan's current status in the arena, no matter where he goes, he will be treated as a guest of honor.

If you want money, some people are willing to give him money.

It turned out that he was fine, he was just here to tell stories, and he received these rewards of tens of taels and hundreds of taels every day, and he didn't know what he was trying to figure out.

Just when Ruan Ruan thought of this, Lu Yan had already collected the reward and was about to go back to the backyard.

Seeing this, Ruan Ruan hurriedly said, "I want to buy you a drink!"

She came here today to show off, but before she had time to show off, how could she let Lu Yan leave so easily.

Lu Yan glanced back at Ruan Ruan, shook his head and said, "I'm not interested in drinking with you brat."

Ruan Ruan was anxious, and said through gritted teeth, "I'm not young anymore, I'm 17 years old this year!"

Seeing this, Lu Yan chuckled, and said to Fu Junyue, "Shopkeeper, here are two pots of yesterday's spring, and send them upstairs."

After saying that, Lu Yan turned around and walked towards the stairs.

Seeing this, Ruan Ruan followed immediately, and she didn't forget to turn her head and say to Fu Junyue: "The wine is on my account!"

Waited on the second floor.

Lu Yan and Ruan Ruan sat down where they had first met.

Ruan Ruan looked at Lu Yan, and said rather proudly: "You should have heard about it, Qiu Shenji defeated Xu Jingye, this is my credit!"

Lu Yan looked at Ruan Ruan's smug look, and suddenly felt that this girl was a bit dainty.

Because of such a thing, I couldn't wait to come to him to show off, and said that I am not a brat.

So he decided to teach some Ruan Ruan well, what is real showing off.

"You are so proud now, tell your glorious record, do you think it has the effect of showing off?"

Hearing Lu Yan's words, Ruan Ruan was stunned for a moment, and asked back: "Is it not effective?"

Lu Yan shook his head and said, "You can certainly show off your glorious record by mentioning it yourself."

"But when others compliment you on the surface, they actually despise you in their hearts, thinking that you are complacent when you make a little achievement, and you have no city."

Hearing Lu Yan's words, Ruan Ruan was stunned again.

If you think about it carefully, it seems that what Lu Yan said makes sense.

Involuntarily, she asked Lu Yan, "Then what should I do?"

Lu Yan replied: "Continue to do things, do big things, but don't take the initiative to make a public announcement. When someone asks you, you can casually reply a few words, showing that you just did a trivial thing."

"In this way, others will think that you are very powerful. After doing such a big thing, you can still behave calmly. It is very capable at first glance."

"In this way, others will truly admire you in their hearts, understand?"

Hearing Lu Yan's words, Ruan Ruan couldn't help but think of the scene when she first met Lu Yan that day.

At that time, someone asked Lu Yan about the Battle of Chibi and the Battle of Yangzhou, but Lu Yan's performance was calm, as if the matter was not worth mentioning.

It was also because of this that she felt that Lu Yan was very powerful, and she became very curious about Lu Yan in her heart.

If Lu Yan hastily brought up this matter without waiting for others to ask, would she still think that Lu Yan is very powerful?
Thinking of these, Ruan Ruan couldn't help but think of his performance in the past two days, and his face immediately turned red.

Lu Yan looked at Ruan Ruan's embarrassing appearance, and said with a smile: "Now do you want to continue showing off to me?"

Ruan Ruan immediately shook her head when she heard the words and replied, "I won't show off anymore, and I won't show off again in the future."

After saying these words, Ruan Ruan fell down on the table a little dejectedly.

"I've done a great thing and don't spread it around, so that people will know how good I am, so what if no one asks me?"

If no one asked her all this time, would she just keep holding back?
That's too uncomfortable!
Lu Yan poured a glass of wine and said, "You still say you're not a brat?"

When Ruan Ruan heard Lu Yan say that he was a brat, he immediately retorted: "I just want people to know how good I am!"

Lu Yan looked at Ruan Ruan and asked, "Why are you so eager to express yourself?"

Ruan Ruan blurted out after hearing the words: "That's because Master didn't let me go out of the mountain, saying that I still have a lot of shortcomings, and it's not time to go out of the mountain yet!"

"But Dongfang Lan, the saintess of Cihang Jingzhai, has already come out of the mountain. As a saintess of the Yinkui sect, how can I continue to shrink back!"

Hearing Ruan Ruan's words, Lu Yan asked again, "Did you sneak out?"

Ruan Ruan immediately glanced around in embarrassment, and said in a low voice, "Don't tell me, Senior Sister thinks Master asked me to come here!"

Lu Yan chuckled, and shouted downstairs: "Another pot of yesterday's spring!"

Ruan Ruan gave Lu Yan a white look.

This guy actually took the opportunity to blackmail him!
Ruan Ruan poured herself a glass of wine and asked, "My senior sister is about to rule the world, do you have anything to say?"

Lu Yan raised his wine glass and said, "Then I will congratulate you and your senior sister first."

After speaking of Lu Yan, he raised his head and drank the wine in one gulp.

……

Lingnan.

Since leaving the capital a few days ago, Dongfang Lan and Song Yuming have gone straight to Lingnan.

Along the way, Dongfang Lan and Song Yuming saw many poor people who left their hometowns, and some people lived and worked in peace and contentment.

Although these people's lives are not good, at least they can fill their stomachs and don't have to leave their homes.

In contrast, this is great happiness.

After talking with Lu Yan that day, Dongfang Lan knew that she was not capable of giving the life that the whole world wanted.

There is no way to make a good life for all poor people.

All she can do is to choose a virtuous master and calm down the world as soon as possible.

Then let as many people as possible live a stable life.

So she attaches great importance to this trip of the Lingnan Song Clan.

It's just that when she arrived at the Song family and met Song Yuming's four brothers, she was disappointed.

Song Yuming's four elder brothers cannot be said to be useless, but they are definitely not candidates for the virtuous master in her mind.

Even Song Yuming, the most outstanding, seemed too young and immature to take on a big responsibility.

Patriarch Song Shidao is old and has no ambition to forge ahead, so he is also not a good candidate.

In other words, her trip to Lingnan this time can only return in vain.

At this time, in the living room.

Song Shidao sat on the main seat.

Several of his sons were sitting on the right side, all looking at Dongfang Lan eagerly.

It's not that they like Dongfang Lan so much, it's love at first sight or something.

The main reason is that they hope that they can be selected by Dongfang Lan and become the virtuous lord that everyone expects, and then they will compete in the Central Plains and dominate the world.

However, it is a pity that no matter how much they "wink" at Dongfang Lan, Dongfang Lan remains indifferent.

This made them all a little discouraged.

Just when they were thinking about how to get Dongfang Lan's approval, Dongfang Lan stood up and saluted Song Shidao.

"Thank you Uncle Song for your warm hospitality these past few days. Lan'er came here this time to bid farewell to Uncle Song."

Song Shidao nodded lightly, and said, "In that case, I'll let Yuming see you off."

When Song Yushan heard that Dongfang Lan was leaving, he immediately stood up and wanted to say something.

But when Song Shidao's stern eyes turned around, Song Yushan sat back obediently.

Song Yuming stood up and said to Song Shidao: "Father, my son's tour is not over yet, so my son wants to continue to travel the world with Dongfang."

Song Shidao glanced at Song Yuming and was about to speak.

At this time, a guard suddenly entered the door from outside and reported, "Patriarch, someone who claims to be the king of Shu, Li Fan, is asking to see him outside the door!"

Shu Wang Li Fan?
Hearing this name, everyone present showed surprise on their faces.

Why did Li Fan suddenly appear in Lingnan?

Dongfang Lan, who was about to leave, suddenly didn't intend to leave.

Because she was going to Shuzhong to meet Li Fan, the king of Shu, at the next stop, but she didn't expect Li Fan to come to her door on her own initiative.

Song Shidao pondered for a while, and said, "Then invite him in."

Soon, the guards brought a man in sackcloth and a bamboo hat to the living room.

After entering the living room, the man took off the bamboo hat on his head, revealing his true face.

Li Fan looks quite handsome, with big piercing eyes and a pretty good spirit.

When Li Fan succeeded to the throne, he once had a relationship with Song Shidao, so Song Shidao recognized at a glance that the King of Shu in front of him was real.

"The old man pays homage to the King of Shu."

Although Song Shidao's status in Jianghu is very high, he still has to show due respect to a vassal king.

When the others saw Song Shidao saluting to Li Fan, they naturally followed suit.

Li Fan hurriedly stepped forward to support Song Shidao, and said, "Uncle Song, you and I don't have to treat each other like this."

At this time Li Fan was extremely polite to Song Shidao, even a little close.

It's not at all like the fear and vigilance towards the Song Clan that he showed when facing Li Yuanjia.

Song Shidao asked Li Fan to sit down, and waited until Li Fan was seated before asking: "I don't know what your highness is doing, coming from afar?"

Li Fan asked Song Shidao: "Uncle Song, how many people do you think are capable of being emperors?"

Song Shidao chuckled when he heard the words, and said, "Your Highness, I don't dare to answer this question."

Li Fan said seriously: "Uncle Song, there are no outsiders here, but it doesn't matter."

Song Shidao groaned for a while, and replied: "The ones who are capable of being emperor now, one is your Li family, and the other is Empress Wu."

Li Fan nodded and shook his head again, and said, "Uncle Song, you missed one more, don't you Song Clan have the ability to win the world?"

Song Shidao laughed again, and replied: "The old man doesn't have that kind of thought when he's old, and these sons don't live up to it and don't have that ability. Your Highness really flatters us."

Although Longzhong's statement about the three-point world in the middle is very tempting.

But Song Shidao's family knew their own affairs, and there was really no suitable person in the Song family who could secure that position.

Li Fan shook his head again and said: "Uncle Song may not have such a meaning, and neither do the brothers, but do you think Wu Thief would think so?"

"Uncle Song thinks, after my Li family is defeated, will the warriors return to the imperial court or continue to move south to clear other obstacles on her way to become emperor?"

Song Shidao had already guessed that Li Fan came to Lingnan this time to ask for help.

To his surprise, Li Fan didn't directly explain the purpose of coming, but explained the key interests, wanting him to take the initiative.

Although the words and demeanor are still a little immature, but there is already a little bit of meaning.

Thinking of this, Song Shidao glanced at Li Fan delicately, and asked, "Your Highness thinks Empress Wu will send troops to Lingnan?"

Li Fan nodded, and said very seriously: "How can you allow others to snore on the side of the couch?"

Hearing Li Fan's words, the expressions on the faces of everyone present became extremely subtle.

Dongfang Lan, who is the saint of Cihang Jingzhai, couldn't help but look at Li Fan a few more times.

She had only heard of Li Fan's name before, but never met Li Fan.

But what Li Fan said today left an extremely deep impression on her.

After a moment of silence, Song Shidao asked Li Fan, "What does Your Highness think we should do?"

Li Fan stood up, took out a map from the bag behind his back and spread it on the ground.

Pointing at the map with a bamboo pole, he said, "Uncle Song will start his army today, and will enter Yangzhou along the river via Jingzhou."

"I will send troops from Chengdu Mansion, exit from Jiameng Pass, enter and occupy Chang'an, and threaten the capital of God!"

"Wu Zhao must send troops back to help protect the gods. Uncle Song and Uncle Xu only need to restrain Qiu Shenji. Give me five days, and the gods will be defeated!"

This is the purpose of his coming to Lingnan this time, to unite with the Song clan to fight against Wu Zhao!

Everyone was extremely surprised when they heard Li Fan's remarks.

According to Li Fan's plan, it is really possible to break through the capital of God and destroy Wu Zhao!

Song Shidao thought for a while, and said, "Your plan seems to be good, but it may not be easy for you to occupy Chang'an."

Li Fan smiled slightly and said, "A long time ago, my Third Grandpa and Eleventh Grandpa had already contacted Chang'an. As long as my army arrived before Chang'an City, someone would open the city gate and welcome me into the city!"

"When the time comes, I will integrate Chang'an's army, and with Chang'an as my backing, I will be able to defeat the gods with just a snap of my fingers!"

Hearing Li Fan's words, Song Shidao couldn't help but take a deep look at Li Fan, and asked, "You thought of this all by yourself?"

Dongfang Lan looked at Li Fan, feeling very curious about the answer to this question.

Li Fan nodded and replied: "Partly, and partly inspired by Mr. Lu."

When Song Shidao heard Li Fan mentioning Lu Yan, he subconsciously said: "East to Sun Wu, north to reject Cao Cao."

Li Fan nodded, and he used this sentence to describe the Southern Song clan and the Northern rejection of Wu Zhao, which is quite vivid.

Song Shidao sighed and said: "Mr. Lu is a great talent, His Highness is not bad either."

Li Fan shook his head and said, "Comparing my talent to Mr. Lu's, it is true that the brilliance of the firefly is better than that of Haoyue. I still have a lot to learn."

Speaking of which, Li Fan asked Song Shidao again: "I don't know what Uncle Song wants?"

Song Shidao took a deep look at Li Fan and said, "I can send troops to help Yangzhou, but I have one request!"

Upon hearing this, Li Fan immediately asked, "I don't know what Uncle Song wants?"

Song Shidao pointed at Li Fan, and replied: "If you really succeed in defeating Empress Wu in the future, I hope that the person sitting in that position is you!"

……

Li Fan left.

He wants to rush back to Chengdu Mansion as soon as possible, and then send troops to Chang'an immediately.

Dongfang Lan and Song Yuming also left with Li Fan.

Seeing Dongfang Lan leaving with Li Fan, Song Shidao knew that Li Fan's performance today had been recognized by Dongfang Lan.

Maybe it won't be long before people in the world will know that Li Fan is the virtuous master chosen by Dongfang Lan.

Speaking of which, compared to Li Xian and Li Dan who lived under the shadow of Wu Zhao for many years.

The young Li Fan is indeed a good candidate.

Maybe Li Fan still has many shortcomings, but as long as he goes through some training, Li Fan will achieve great things!

If Li Fan really ascended to the Ninth Five-Year Position, then their Song family will have the merit of being a dragon.

At least during Li Fan's reign, the Song family can rest easy.

Thinking of these, Song Shidao couldn't help but think of his sons again.

Except for Song Yuming's ability, the others are almost idiots.

It's really no match for Li Shi.

……

On the way back to Chengdu Mansion, Dongfang Lan has been observing Li Fan.

During the observation process, she saw many advantages from Li Fan.

Vigorous, well-learned, good at martial arts, ambitious, and caring about the suffering of the people.

If Li Fan ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, it would be a good choice to continue Li Tang's foundation.

Thinking of this, Dongfang Lan made a decision that she would stay by Li Fan's side and assist Li Fan!
And Song Yuming also saw through observing Dongfang Lan that Li Fan was the virtuous master Dongfang Lan was looking for.

For this, Song Yuming was not disappointed.

After all, he never thought of dominating the world.

All he thought of was to make a difference in the arena and court, and then embrace the beauty.

……

Huntian Overwatch Council.

Among the ancient courtyards.

The white-haired old man was wearing a gray cloak, sitting cross-legged in the yard, reading a book silently.

Suddenly, he felt something in his heart and raised his head to look at the sky.

A look of surprise appeared on the wrinkled old face.

"The Li family is in decline, but now it is shining again. Could it be that a virtuous lord was born?"

"In this case, the Wu family is in danger."
