The Happy Journey of the Bright Moon in the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 147 Goodbye Old Friend ([-] in [-])

A month later, Dianqing and Zhang Qi returned to Zaiying, and there were more than 20 people who came back with them, all former members of the Pijiamen and soldiers of Wei Wuzu.

Dianqing brought them to meet Li Chen, and they were arranged in Xiaoyaomen.

Most of these 20 people are in the seventh or eighth rank, and they are considered good players in the current Xiaoyaomen. Moreover, they are familiar with Liu Tong and Zhang Qi, and they are more trustworthy in doing things.

One month after Dianqing and others returned, Li Chen left Zaiying again.

Since meeting Song Yu by the Dongting Lake two years ago, Li Chen has been staying in Zaiying.

However, two years passed, and no enemy came to the door, and the worries in Li Chen's heart gradually disappeared.

This time out, Li Chen calculated that he might not come back in a short time.

Leaving Zai Ying Zai Ying, Li Chen went straight to Ying Chen. After all, the state of Chu had taken root here for 40 years.

However, after searching in Yingchen, nothing was found.

So, I took a boat down the Yingshui River and arrived at Shouchun, the current capital of Chu State, two days later.

Shouchun, the seventh and last capital of Chu State, has only been five years since the capital was moved here.

Although the national strength of Chu State was not as good as before when the capital was moved to Shouchun, but Chu State was one of the longest-existing countries, and the relocation of the capital to Shouchun was not because of the war, so the prosperity of Shouchun was not inferior to that of other countries. The capital of the country.

Shouchun is built on the banks of the Huaihe River, with vertical and horizontal waterways in the city, and the uniqueness of the Qinhuai water town is fully displayed here.

The king of Chu at this time was King Chu You, who was said to be the child of Chunshen Lord Huang Xie.

For these gossips, Li Chen is not interested in confirming them.

At this time in Shouchun, there are three forces in total, one is the royal family headed by King Chu You, and the other is the force headed by Ling Yin and Li Yuan.

The last party is based on the power of the young master and the Xiang family, a military strategist in Chu State.

Li Chen came here to find out whether the copper box related to Canglong Qisu is still in his hand, and at the same time to find a token about Canglong Qisu.

And the main place to start is King Chu You and Young Master Xiangchu.

As the King of Chu at this time, King Chu You should know a lot; and the young master should have some secrets to be able to win the throne after he was defeated.

After Li Chen came to Shouchun, he didn't do anything immediately, but made some inquiries in the market.

Only then did I discover that Shouchun's situation is not much worse than that of Xinzheng.

The young master Xiangchu teamed up with the Xiang family and other Chu nobles, and the relationship with Ling Yin and Li Yuan was like fire and water.

King Chu You sat on the sidelines and kept getting angry.

Li Chen shook his head. These things are not in a hurry. When you come here, you have to play with them first.

After renting a boat and hiring a boatman, Li Chen lay on the boat, drinking wine, enjoying the wonderful scenery of Shouchun.

After traveling around the city for two days, Li Chen had to stop, just because an old friend came to him.

Looking at Jing Ke who suddenly appeared in front of him, Li Chen twitched his mouth: "How do you know I'm here?"

Jing Ke put down the wine bottle in his hand, and said with a smile: "Brothers from the Mo family accidentally saw you playing in a small boat."

Li Chen was stunned for a moment: "Brothers of the Mo family? Does anyone else in this Mo family know me besides you?"

Jing Ke laughed: "Brother Li, you may not know that you killed the four first-class Tianzi killers in Luowang in Xinzheng, and fought against the peasant family Siyuetang in Chudi, forcing the peasant hero Kui Tianguang to bow his head. His name is well-known among the schools of thought."

Li Chen smiled wryly after hearing this: "So I'm already so famous?"

Jing Ke nodded and said: "That's right, you have been listed as a person not to be provoked at will by all schools of thought, and all schools of thought should have your portrait now."

Li Chen picked up the wine bottle and took a sip, a little dumbfounded: "So, I have become a trouble."

Shaking his head, he looked at Jing Ke and asked, "What about you? What do you want to do when you come to Chu?"

Jing Ke nodded and said, "A senior Mohist has something to do in Chu State, so I'll come and protect him."

Li Chen picked up the wine bottle and toasted Jing Ke.

Jing Ke drank the wine in his glass in one gulp, looked at Li Chen and asked, "Brother Li, I came to see you this time because I want to compete with you again in swordsmanship."

Li Chen nodded and said, "Yes, right here?"

Jing Ke drank up the wine in the wine bottle again, put down the wine bottle and said, "Let's fight outside the city."

After finishing speaking, he put down the wine bottle, got up and walked out the door.

Li Chen nodded, drank up the wine in the wine bottle, took out two gold coins and put them on the table, then followed Jing Ke's figure and walked out of the city.

After a while, the two came to a mountain forest outside Shouchun City.

Jing Ke turned around, looked at Li Chen and said, "Over the past few years, I have learned some Mohist sword techniques under the tutelage of Juzi.

Moreover, my "Shocking Eighteen Swords" is now completely created, Brother Li, you have to be careful. "

Li Chen nodded, Li Shenjian appeared in his hand, looked at Jing Ke and said, "Brother Jing, I'm ready, I can do it now."

Jing Ke nodded, the long sword in his hand was drawn out of its sheath instantly, and stabbed straight at Li Chen.

Seeing this, Li Chen couldn't help nodding. Compared with before, Jing Ke's strength has improved a lot, and his realm has reached the level of the peak of the third rank.

Facing the long sword that was stabbing straight at him, Li Chen was not polite. In his right hand, he played Li Shenjian with a sword flower, attracting Jing Ke's sword to the side, and at the same time, he took a step forward, and the sword was drawn towards Jing Ke's shoulder. go.

Seeing this, Jing Ke moved his body a step aside, and immediately retracted the sword in his hand, blocking Li Chen's change of move.

Li Chen didn't expect to be able to make meritorious deeds with one sword, so he used "Shenmen Thirteen Swords" and pointed towards Jing Ke's sword-holding hand.

Facing Li Chen's attack, Jing Ke advanced instead of retreating, and shouted: "Eighteen Shocking Swords."

The sword moves were compared with extreme speed, and with a hint of madness, they attacked Li Chen.

Seeing that Jing Ke didn't intend to hide, Li Chen hurriedly shrank Li Shen in front of him, just in time to block Jing Ke's attacking sword point.

Then, Li Chen no longer held back his hands, the sword energy came out through his body, and the sword light met Jing Ke's sword technique, and also attacked forward.

In an instant, the sword light flickered in the woods, and the sound of gold and iron colliding could be heard endlessly. Under the ravages of the sword energy, the trees around the two were chopped off by the middle and turned into a mess.

After a while, Jing Ke's "Shocking Eighteen Swords" has been used completely, but Li Chen dissolved them all.

Seeing this, Jing Ke sighed: "It seems that my "Shocking Eighteen Swords" is still immature and cannot cause interference to Brother Li."

Then, the sword move suddenly changed, it was no longer an indomitable ultimate move, but began to become majestic.

Seeing this, Li Chen kept attacking with Li Shenjian. While blocking Jing Ke's sword moves, he began to counterattack Jing Ke...

In the blink of an eye, half an hour passed, and while Li Chen kept it away intentionally, Jing Ke played almost all of the "Eighteen Shocking Swords" created by himself and the swordsmanship he learned in the Mohist school.

Seeing that Li Chen still hadn't been defeated, Jing Ke couldn't help but smiled wryly: "Brother Li, I still have a sword move, but I'm afraid I won't be able to stop it when I use it now."

Li Chen's eyes lit up when he heard the words: "Brother Jing, is it "Ten Steps and One Kill" by the Mo family? I want to see it."

Jing Ke nodded, and walked forward with strides. With each step, the energy of the whole body was condensed. By the seventh step, the sword energy in his body had been condensed to the peak.

Li Chen's pupils shrank, Li Shenjian lay across his chest, and the aura of the second level of swordsmanship was also condensed into the sword.

Jing Ke had already taken the eighth step, looked up at Li Chen and said, "Brother Li, be careful!"

Then the ninth step fell, and then the tenth step was taken out. At the same time, the long sword in his hand stabbed straight at Li Chen.

Li Chen felt that a murderous aura had enveloped him, and a feeling of nowhere to escape came to his heart.

Li Chen didn't dare to be careless. Li Shenjian, which had condensed all the sword energy in his body, moved forward, only to hear a loud "Dang", the two swords collided, and the condensed energy immediately dissipated.

The surrounding trees that had escaped unharmed before were also staggered by the impact at this moment.

When all the storm subsided, the Li Shenjian in Li Chen's hand had disappeared. Jing Ke knelt on one knee, with the long sword in front of him, his right arm holding the sword trembled uncontrollably, and he was panting heavily.

After a while, Jing Ke gradually calmed down, stood up, put the long sword back into the scabbard, and showed a wry smile at the corner of his mouth: "Brother Li, you are really a monster.

When we met for the first time, I could barely draw with you. I didn't expect that you have improved so much in just three years. "

Li Chen smiled: "Brother Jing is not bad, the last move, "Ten Steps, One Kill", is so powerful that I almost couldn't stop it."

Jing Ke smiled wryly again: "Brother Li, don't comfort me. If you hadn't taken it away just now, I might have died under that sword."

Li Chen smiled and stopped defending.After all, with the help of the system, I have now reached the late stage of the first rank, two big realms higher than Jing Ke. It is not difficult to block Jing Ke's ultimate move.

Jing Ke shook his head and laughed again: "Thank you, Brother Li, for your advice. After I go back this time, I will work hard to practice my sword, and I hope to fight against Brother Li in the future."

Li Chen nodded: "With Brother Jing's talent and strength, he will definitely be much stronger next time we meet."

Jing Ke nodded: "Then I will borrow brother Li's auspicious words. Now that the sword competition is over, I will take my leave."

Seeing Jing Ke's leaving figure, Li Chen was silent for a while, and then called to Jing Ke: "Brother Jing, I don't know if I should say something or not?"

Jing Ke turned around, looked at Li Chen and said, "Brother Li, although you and I have only met three times, we are still friends! If you have anything to say, just say it, and I will definitely listen."

Li Chen nodded: "Brother Jing, the technique you practiced back then involved a lot behind it, although it has been resolved now, the people behind it will definitely not be reconciled.

With Brother Jing's current strength, there may be no need to be afraid, but the people around Brother Jing should be more careful.

After Brother Jing returns, it is best to arrange for Miss Gongsun to enter the Mohist Trick City, and tell her not to go out as much as possible. "

Jing Ke stared at Li Chen for a while, nodded and said, "Thank you Brother Li for reminding me, I will definitely pay attention when I go back."

Watching Jing Ke disappear into the depths of the woods, Li Chen sighed: "That's all I can do. If you still fall into the scheme, it can only be said to be God's will."

Glancing around, Li Chen manipulated and disappeared into the woods.

Back in Shouchun City again, the sky was getting dark, Li Chen went back to the inn, asked Xiao Er to bring some dinner, and took a brief rest.

When the curfew started on the street, Li Chen was dressed in black, covered his face, and got out of the window. After looking around, he headed towards the palace.

The royal palace of the Chu Kingdom was built in the center of Shouchun City. There was a city wall separating the royal palace from the residential areas outside into the inner city and the outer city.

On the city wall, every ten steps or so, there is a soldier standing guard, and at the same time, a small team of ten people patrols back and forth on the city wall.

Seeing such a tight defense, Li Chen chuckled lightly, and after looking around for a while, his body suddenly rushed straight up, instantly raising tens of feet.

Then, with a blow of snow falling through the clouds, his body instantly disappeared in the air, and when he reappeared, he was already tens of feet ahead, completely crossing the city wall of the palace.

After looking around in the air, he used Ruyan Jue, and his body slowly floated towards the roof not far away, and then disappeared into the darkness.

No one would have imagined that with such tight defenses, someone could sneak into the palace without anyone noticing.

It wasn't until the sky turned white that Li Chen returned to the inn.

Taking off the Yexing clothes and putting them into the storage ring, Li Chen shook his head and sighed: "It seems that King Chu Qingxiang didn't pass the things to King Chu You, maybe without the help of Li Yuan and Huang Xie, the current King of Chu It will not be King Chuyou."

Li Chen rummaged around in the palace all night without gaining anything. He had no choice but to secretly resort to tricks on King Chuyou, but he didn't expect that King Chuyou would also ask three questions.

After two epiphanies before, Li Chen's consciousness became much stronger, and after he practiced "The Secret of Longevity", Li Chen found that his consciousness had transformed into a divine soul, and with the practice, the divine soul continued to strengthen.

Li Chen also understood that the realm after the first rank is not only the accumulation of internal strength, but also the soul.

At this time, Li Chen realized that the consciousness of the members of the Yinyang family should have been modified by Donghuang Taiyi with the soul, so they are very different from before.

In the palace, Li Chen used his soul to search for King Chu You, but found nothing.

After King Chu You wakes up tomorrow, he will never find out that someone has tampered with him, but he will be depressed for a while.

This is none of Li Chen's business, rubbing his head, Li Chen smiled wryly, and murmured: "I didn't expect to feel this way when using the soul. It seems that it will not be easy to use until the critical time in the future."

Since King Chu You didn't get any news from there, Li Chen turned his attention to Young Master Lingchu, intending to recover first, and then go to the Lingchu Mansion to investigate.
