Longevity begins with Orion.

Chapter 113 111. Heaven and Earth Change
The next day, the snow fell and the sun rose.

The manor was covered in plain silver, but it was also gilded with gold. Xiao Jin was wrapped in a big padded jacket and leaned on a small walking stick. Two small footprints and a round hole slowly spread to the distance.

The cotton-padded jacket was very warm, and the neck surrounded by fluffy fur was gone, revealing only a lovely face and a pair of smiling eyes like a crescent moon.

Many pitch-black crows stood on rockery, tall trees, or roof ridges, overlooking the bustling courtyard with frantic and calm eyes.

"one two Three"

"One, two, three, four, five, five"

"One, two, two, hold back, hold back"

"Wow wow wow!"

Xiao Pingan sat on the proprietress's lap, raised his head and counted the crows, but he couldn't count the number "five" anyway, because the crows were flying around, but he was not allowed to count.

The angry little Ping'an cried loudly, tears gushing out.

While he was crying, Xiao Jin was laughing.

Yan Niangzi ran up, tapped her little head, and said, "Don't bully my brother."

"Bitter bag, bitter bag~~"

Xiao Jin pointed at Xiao Pingan and giggled, but her blind eyes like glazed white showed a kind of cuteness and innocent beauty.

As soon as the "bitter bag" came out, both Madam Yan and the proprietress were stunned, and then they realized that they said "crying bag", which meant that Xiao Ping'an was particularly prone to crying.

After hearing this word, Xiaopingan was also stunned for a while, then quickly observed the words and expressions, and suddenly realized what it meant, and cried even more fiercely.

Lady Yan also hurried to the proprietress's side to coax Xiaopingan together.

Xiao Jin, on the other hand, was holding a cane and walking swayingly in the silver-white snow. Large swaths of crows were flying around her, like black flames inlaid with rubies.

After Li Yuan finished his normal morning practice, he also came here, wanting to enjoy some family happiness.

He raised his head and glanced at the crow.

fifteen.

The value is "18~20".

He remembered that in March, there were only six of them.

Is this more than one month?

And the number "18~20" can already be said to be a ninth-rank warrior, although not strong, but it is really a ninth-rank warrior.

My daughter, what is this?
His thoughts flashed and were broken in an instant.

The little padded jacket's milky voice was mixed with laughter, and shouted: "Daddy, hug, hug!"

She is leaning on a cane with her left hand and her right hand is raised.

Li Yuan would not refuse this action that could melt people's hearts.

He walked forward quickly and picked up the little padded jacket.

The little padded jacket threw away the cane.

Li Yuan hugged her and turned around in the snow for a few times, then stopped, then hugged her in one hand, and grabbed the small crutch in the other, went to the small pavilion on the side, put the crutch on the table, and looked at The crying son stretched out his hand holding the little padded jacket, and said, "You guys have to get along well."

The little cotton-padded jacket smiled, and generously stretched out his tender hands in front of Xiaopingan.

Xiaopingan "hummed" and turned away.

But the little cotton-padded jacket grabbed his hand and shouted: "Bitty bag, don't be so hard."

"Wow!" Xiaopingan continued to cry.

The proprietress hurriedly coaxed.

Yan Niangzi said from the side: "Xiao Jin, don't make my brother cry."

The little padded jacket obviously couldn't express a slightly complicated meaning, so he lay in his father's arms blankly.

Li Yuan smiled and said, "Let's make a snowman."

Then, he asked again: "What about every year?"

Lady Yan said: "It's in Wulu."

The proprietress said: "It's not in Wulu anymore, Niannian went to my place again recently."

Lady Yan looked curiously.

The proprietress said: "Didn't I also form a small caravan, mainly selling wine, and by the way selling mountain products and animal skins and the like. The caravan ran around the surrounding area a few times, and I am very interested in it every year. , and ran to chat with the head of the caravan.”

Lady Yan couldn't help laughing and said, "You're a big kid."

Li Yuan looked at the proprietress and said, "Sister Xue, Niannian probably wants to buy better puppet materials. If she wants to buy it, don't save money and let her buy it."

The proprietress gouged out her own man, and said coquettishly, "You are the only one who loves her."

Li Yuan smiled, and then took his son and daughter to build a snowman together.

After a while, he made a little snowman;

But the meaning was still unfinished, so I piled up another large one;

Still wanting more, I built a snow house several meters high, hollowed out the middle, and piled up a snow table and five snow chairs.

Ordinary people don't have this ability, but Li Yuan can.

And Lady Yan, the proprietress, and the others couldn't help laughing, their childlike innocence grew, and they got into the snow room one by one, looked left and right, then made tea and drank around the snow table.

Sunlight piercing through the ice crystals casts dreamy arcs of color across the room.

Xiao Ping An stopped crying, blinked and wandered excitedly in the igloo.

The crows flew around, and the little padded jacket stuck to his father.

The family enjoyed themselves happily, and when the igloo began to melt, Xiao Pingan began to cry again.

The little padded jacket ran over, patted his head and said, "Buku, Buku."

The proprietress asked curiously, "Is Xiao Jin imitating the singing of birds?"

Lady Yan said speechlessly: "She is trying to keep my brother from crying."

Time passed day by day.
Internally consolidated, foreign enemies detoured, and the five small counties developed steadily.

Apart from the failure of the farmland every year, there is nothing particularly unsatisfactory.

But since the behind-the-scenes existence of these five small counties has become Li Yuan, Li Yuan's words can also play a decisive role.

Under the suggestion of Yan Niangzi and the proprietress, he opened the farmland again, and arranged for the servants in the door, and even his disciples to help the farmers in the field, as a kind of experience, and those who successfully completed it can also get martial points, which can be exchanged for resource.

He even encouraged the disciples in Wulu Middle School to help farmers cultivate.

[Picture of Young Master Riding a Deer] You need a calm and carefree heart, so farming the farmland is a kind of tempering of the mind.

You know, Wulu has a very high status now.

Wulu's disciples all took the lead to help with the farming, and the farmland became busy.

On the other hand, he asked the big households to reduce the farm rent, from the original quota rent to the common people's quota rice.The common people have to fill their own stomachs first, and then hand over the rest of the rice to the big households.

As compensation, he gave some quotas to these big families, so that the children of the families in the big families can enter the sect to practice exercises.

In addition, porridge shops have been set up in front of every square city, which can be regarded as relief for the homeless.

At the same time, the disciples of various sects also began to arrange for these homeless refugees to resettle and donate the newly opened farmland. Although it is not fertile, there is always an errand and hope.

Lady Yan, the proprietress is taking the lead in doing these things.

During this period, Li Yuan didn't show up much, and didn't take these good deeds, but attributed all these things to Lady Yan and the proprietress.

Over time, the folks in the five counties all praised "Yan Bodhisattva" and "Xue Bodhisattva", and everyone knew that "the ancestor of the blood knife loves his wife".

After all, the ancestor of Xuedao didn't care about the suffering of the people at all. Thanks to the two Bodhisattvas, he did these good deeds.

In June, Li Yuan returned to a luxury home.

Shexiang did not disappoint him, the first batch of Shexiang disciples had already settled the matter of Master Ma and the Yamen.

How did you solve it?
Out of nothing.

Take advantage.

Pull the tiger's skin.

This tiger skin is the tiger skin of Songhe Restaurant, and it is also Li Yuan's tiger skin.

Songhe Restaurant's tiger skin is easy to tear, but Li Yuan's tiger skin is difficult to tear off.

For this reason, Xu Lan, Xu Sheng and others abruptly added a name to Li Yuan and made up some seemingly unrealistic origins.

They said that Li Yuan came from the mysterious Fengboxian Township in the East China Sea. This Fengboxian Township is a mysterious place that may exist in legends but cannot be verified.

I don't know where the little beggar heard it, but he was pressed on Li Yuan anyway.

Xu Lan and Xu Sheng didn't dare to say that Li Yuan was the owner of Feng Boxian Township, but only said that he was a mysterious messenger from Feng Boxian Township.

With an unknown purpose, the envoys of Fengbo Xianxiang recruited local teenagers and girls, taught them exercises, and made them worship the mysterious master of Fengboxian Township.

Xu Lan, Xu Sheng and six other boys and girls specially compiled a set of mysterious prostration etiquette, which was specially used to prostrate to the master of Feng Boxian Township.

The owner of Fengbo Xianxiang is actually a weird wood carving wrapped in black cloth.

This weird wood carving was carved by Xu Sheng himself with a knife, but no one except Xu Lan knew about it.

With such rhetoric, such a mysterious ritual of pretending to be a ghost, coupled with the eight nine ranks, and the ambiguity of Songhe Restaurant, Master Ma and the local government were dumbfounded.

No one messes with this luxury town anymore.

And Shexiang recruited a lot of fresh blood, which turned this small mansion into a small force.

After Li Yuan knew that he had suddenly gained the title of "Feng Bo Xianxiang Envoy", he was also amazed.

However, he didn't correct anything, neither admitted nor denied, but taught the eight people the method of cultivation of the eighth rank and the method of breaking through the seventh rank, and then let Songhe Restaurant slightly open the consumption of the eighth rank monster meat. the way of buying.

Eighth-grade monster meat is still precious, and it is certain that the supply exceeds demand.

But this level of preciousness is not as expensive as it was a few years ago.

The main reason is that the five counties are unified, stable and have good law and order.

Caravans rarely encountered strong men when they walked among them. Even if they encountered some scattered bandits, they could rely on their own strength to fight against them.

Unity, stability, and good law and order bring more trade.

As a result, the red ant merchant met the stability here, and increased the supply quota.

Secondly, Hengwu Restaurant established its own chamber of commerce, opened up foreign trade channels, and established contacts with many chambers of commerce, which made it easier to purchase resources.

Thirdly, with the poor harvest every year, the output of the eighth-grade monster meat in the meat field has gradually increased.

The superposition of various factors, coupled with Li Yuan's secret manipulation, the small luxury township in Qingtan County can also obtain the resources to maintain cultivation.

But as the old saying goes, you have to earn your own money.

This put Shexiang in a certain predicament
The disciples of the extravagant town who had mastered certain means began to recruit more disciples, and at the same time increased the mining of mountain goods, and then sold them to Songhe Restaurant in exchange for resources.

And these good-looking mountain products were sold to other places through the Chamber of Commerce of Hengwu Restaurant to earn silver taels, thus forming a virtuous circle.

At the beginning of August, another letter was sent to Li Yuan through a chamber of commerce.

The letter was written by Yan Mu.

The letter expressed nothing but disappointment.

But he didn't say why he was disappointed.

Yan Mu only said that he wanted to come back.

Li Yuan looked at the letter in rapt attention, with a thoughtful expression on his face.

Just a few simple letters, he has already understood one thing: Yan Mu is likely to be a disciple of a powerful force on the same level as the Holy Fire Palace.

After that, he explored through his own channels, and only then did he know that another major event had happened in the Central Plains.

Last year, the emperor broke his promise and clearly promised to "open the arsenal of the Great Zhou Dynasty", but he quit at the end of the day.This point, Li Yuan can actually understand.

The emperor must have been reminded by someone that "the arsenal must never be opened", because this "arsenal" is the royal family heritage, if the royal family heritage is stripped away, is the royal family still the royal family?
Therefore, when the emperor made a promise, he was on top, but now that he has come to his senses, he would rather go back on his word than open the arsenal.

But such a powerful force as the Holy Fire Palace will definitely quit, and this joint debt collection must be necessary.

The emperor can't even beat Prince Honglian, how can he deal with the forces that defeated Prince Honglian?

And this year, there is an answer.

This answer was pieced together from the mouths of warriors who fled back from the north in the caravan.

But to put it simply, just one sentence: the emperor reused Xingku, and he even worshiped Xingku as a national teacher.

What Li Yuan knew through the caravan, the proprietress naturally knew too.

The lady boss was very curious.

"Isn't this emperor stupid? Using Xingkui as a national teacher, wouldn't Xingkui covet his Great Zhou treasure house?"

Li Yuan gave a guess and answered her doubts: "Maybe Xingke really doesn't covet the treasure house of the Great Zhou."

"why?"

"The realm of Xingkui itself does not represent the strength of strength,
In the past, there were not many ghost domains, and most of the treasures hidden in the treasure house of the Great Zhou should be treasures that are beneficial to the cultivation of warriors.

But these treasures are exactly what Xingkui doesn't need, that's why the emperor so generously worshiped Xingkui as the national teacher. "

"What about the Xingke map?" The proprietress was very curious.

Li Yuan was silent for a while, his impression of Yu Jingcheng is probably a few things:

One, Yan Mu escorted an upright official to Yujing;

Second, Prince Honglian captured Yujing, but stopped chasing and killing the emperor, which gave the emperor an opportunity to call on the forces of the world to besiege him. Afterwards, the emperor repented, and the forces of the world forced debts, and the emperor used Xingke to fight against it;

Third, collect clothes fast, or mortuary clothes fast.

"The water in Xingke is too deep, and the water in Huangquan is too deep. They are willing to form an alliance with the emperor. They must have a big conspiracy." Li Yuan murmured, "I suspect that the famine in the farmland every year is related to these It's about."

The proprietress also knows what her man means.

The farmland is famine, but the meat field is fertile.

And the better the meat field, the more terrifying the haunted area will be.

Just like one yang and one yin, the Tao is one foot tall and the devil is one foot tall.

You know, the meat fields in the borderlands are already able to produce eight-grade monster meat. What the meat fields in Yujing City look like now, just think about it, you know it must be extraordinary.

"I don't know when it was a head." The proprietress sighed softly, "It was not like this in the past.

There will be a famine this year and a bumper harvest next year. The world will be good and bad, and at best it is impermanent.

But now.
Eh.
This is the fifth consecutive year of poor harvests.

If it weren't for the increase of farmland, the increase of farmers, and the reduction of farm rent, these counties might have become hell on earth.

This is because God does not allow people to live.

It’s almost time to harvest again this year.”

There is not much optimism in her eyes, because she has been to the farmland to see it.

On the loess, the sadness on the brows of the farmers has already explained everything.

October.

Poor harvest.

And the output of the eighth-grade monster meat in the meat field has increased again, and there is a tendency to expand.

deep winter.

In Shanbao County, Xuedaomen tested the "ghost boundary" of the "black market ghost domain" as usual, and found that the boundary had expanded. Although it hadn't reached the ground, the closest point was only more than ten meters away.

If any water player wants to go down to the lake for a swim, he might swim into the ghost domain.

Therefore, the new scarlet forbidden card was erected on the shore, shocking.

It will be spring next year.

In Qiutang County, a powerful sixth-grade ghost servant suddenly walked out of the ghost town of mass graves. The ghost servant wore ancient clothes that were completely different from the current era. The kind of "injustice has a head and a debt has an owner", after General Gu Xiang stepped aside, he didn't pursue him anymore, but left Qiutang County, and he didn't know where he went.

A month later, the sixth-rank ghost servant came back, dragging a big sack behind him, which contained dozens of dead people.

General Gu Xiang went to inquire about it, only to find out that in a county next door, a whole family was slaughtered by a mysterious strong man, but what is strange is that this family has a good reputation in the local area and is known as a kind person It is impossible to offend anyone, let alone a sixth-rank powerhouse.

This made General Guxiang extremely intimidating, because he thought of a certain possibility.

As the saying goes, "If there is a grievance, there is a debtor." But when those ancient people returned to the world, their enemies might have died of old age.However, these ghost servants did not give up. They probably found the descendants of those enemies back then, slaughtered the families of the descendants, and brought them back to the mass grave.

In this way, it is really in response to the phrase "when will the injustice be repaid".
Summer is fine.

Autumn, poor harvest.

This is the seventh consecutive year of poor harvests.

winter.

Pang Yuanhua accidentally observed a new soul line in the sky.

Li Yuan followed her closely, and found that the "carpenter's shop" had actually recovered.

A large number of people disappeared, and at the same time, some people suffered from the strange disease of "flesh withering".

Both Li Yuan and Pang Yuanhua knew that "withering flesh and blood" was a sign of "queuing up to enter the carpenter's shop".

Immediately, Pang Yuanhua went to the No. 14 wing on the left side of the Zhongfu to have a look, and brought back the result: Bao Dacong was still alive.

Since Bao Dacong is still alive, it stands to reason that the "carpenter's shop" should still be stuck.

After that, they began to investigate more people suffering from the strange disease of "flesh blight" to understand what they saw in the carpenter's shop.

Then, a horribly creepy answer:

There is an extra row of wooden frames in the carpenter's shop.

This means that the original order of queuing up one by one was broken.

The team became two.

Li Yuan and Pang Yuanhua started running around again, drawing gourds in the same way, and continued to catch those bandits who did all kinds of evil. Then Li Yuan smeared the bandits with blood, opened the door and threw the bandits into the carpenter's shop.

But this time there was a small accident, the first bandit failed to escape, and it was not until the second one that he succeeded.

The carpentry shop was blocked again.

But no matter whether it was Li Yuan or Pang Yuanhua, their hearts were extremely heavy, as if they were weighed down by a heavy iron block.

Ghostland isn't standing still, it's growing.
Today the carpenter's shop has two rows of wooden racks, but after that?
No one knows whether it will become a wooden frame with more than a dozen rows, or even dozens of rows, or hundreds of rows.
One row or two rows can still be blocked, too much. How to block?
Li Yuan and Pang Yuanhua, who had finished their work, were not at all happy.

Because, something terrible is going on in this world.

Now is just the beginning of this change.

After returning to Baihua Manor, Li Yuan began to practice skills in batches.

However, because the resources and skills of the sixth rank need blood gold to purchase, the skills he can obtain are still the seventh rank.

It's not that he doesn't want to break into the fifth rank.

But the more he tries, the more he understands that the fifth rank is an unimaginable realm, and it may not even be a realm that can be broken through by an individual.

He is not completely inexperienced in this kind of thing, he has read some things before time travelling, and those things mentioned exercises such as "Tao Heart Seed Demon", and power promotions such as "grabbing characteristics" Law.

The more Li Yuan tried, the more he felt that the Shadow Blood Kung Fu in this world probably came from such a path.

He is the sower.

He planted the seed.

Then, you need to wait for the seeds to take root and germinate.

After that, he went to grab those fruits.

After eating those fruits, he can see the way behind.

Very realistic and cruel.

But the heights are too cold
The road leads to the sky, but only one person can do it.

The throne is so illustrious, when will I see the two of them?
The vague guess made him seem to have insight into some truths of the world.

The tip of the iceberg is already biting cold.

deep winter.

A group of rebellious soldiers suddenly burst into the north. These rebellious soldiers were completely irrational, their eyes were wild, and they rushed into the antelope's mouth in a daze.

However, the three counties of Shanbao, Huamo, and Tiannan behind Lingyangkou have already formed a whole around Wulu. The three parties sent out masters to strangle all these rebels, and then took turns guarding them to deal with the rebellious soldiers who came from time to time. .

Antelopekou also began to transform into a pass.

But the strange thing is that those rebels seem to be completely crazy, and they are not afraid of death at all, but they are not like secret troops prepared by secret methods, they are just purely crazy.

This winter, the weather is not cold, but the sun is shining brightly.

In the twelfth lunar month of winter, all the flowers bloom suddenly, and the flowers bloom brightly.

The bright colors are frightening and frightening.

At this moment, a heavy snow finally fell in the sky.

The temperature was like a precipice, and it took a sharp turn. The flowers that bloomed all withered the next day, as if God made a joke
But these abnormalities made Li Yuan feel more and more blocked.

But all he can do is expand the depth of his "skill pool" while suppressing the suffering and patiently waiting for the seeds to take root and germinate.

early spring.

In the manor, Li Yuan was shirtless, carrying a weight, holding a dragon knife and spear, practicing stabbing repeatedly.

This stab is like a poisonous snake jumping out of the grass, fast and ruthless, and every time the angle and direction do not change
Spearmanship!

It is a direction for Li Yuan to expand his "skill pool", which can directly enhance his flexibility in battle.

Whoosh!Whizzing!Whoosh whoosh! !
It was another six shots in a row, but the six shots were pierced in the same space, and the directions could be said to overlap completely.

The boy's mind moved again, and several gun shadows rushed to another place, and hit the same place.

This is a seventh-grade skill [Throat Locking Spear] that he collected, and it is now close to completion. Except for Li Yuan's 1 skill point at the breaking point, he cultivated it all by himself.

Compared with the continuous [Yin Chain Gun] before, this [Throat Locking Spear] pays more attention to precision.

A fly was buzzing, and Li Yuan said that if he stabbed the left wing, he would not stab the right.

[Throat-Locking Spear] After practicing, the young man flipped his palm, and the Dragon Saber suddenly became flexible, from the original poisonous snake to a bird in the clouds hovering in his palm and flying around his fingers.

The tip of the gun is like a bird's beak, and it touches all directions, and every point is instantly returned, without nostalgia.

It was as if the spear in his palm had come to life, one moment it was still in the east, the next moment it was in the west, unpredictable.

This method is another seventh-rank marksmanship skill that Li Yuan is practicing, called [Five Fingers Jumping Forest Spear].

Compared with continuous and precise, this marksmanship pays more attention to flexibility and subtlety.

[Five Fingers Jumping in the Forest Spear] After practicing, the gun in the young man's hand suddenly changed again, becoming powerful and heavy.

After a while, the gun changed again, the gun moved around, and the click point changed.

After another moment, the spear technique becomes simple and unpretentious again, but there are various killer moves hidden in this unpretentiousness.

The following three marksmanship methods are respectively named "Huitongganzi", "Presenting Plum Blossoms", and "Hunyuan Zimu".
Li Yuan holds the sixth-grade perfection state and cultivates the seventh-grade skills.

He originally trained with guns and knives, practicing in reverse, and his practice speed can be described as extremely fast.

The five guns were practiced together without any delay.

After the five-gun practice, it was completely dark.

But this day is a little different from the past.

A letter came from afar and was placed beside him.

The letter was written by Yan Mu.

The message is simple: he's coming back.

Li Yuan showed it to Lady Yan.

Lady Yan said with a smile: "Master, you want more nephews."

Li Yuandao: "I will play with his brother and pick him up personally."

Lady Yan corrected: "It's a nephew, a nephew. Not a brother."

Li Yuan smiled.

That night, he came to the secret room, thought for a while, and made a fake life map track.

Maybe he is supercilious, but when the former friend returns, the old friend's heart may not have changed over the years.

Even if Yan Mu didn't say anything, he could guess that Yan Mu was probably a disciple of a powerful force, not only a disciple of a powerful force, but also a disciple with a "relationship household".

Otherwise, how could he have great mood swings as the battle situation changed?How can they survive in a place like Yujing City?
You know, Yan Mu is two years older than him, even if he is a genius in a big force, his strength is there.

He treats Yan Mu as a nephew, this brother will treat each other with affection.

However, he has to keep a hand with that powerful disciple.

late spring.

Li Yuan thought hard and realized that he combined the six marksmanship into one, and named it "Liuhe".

This "Liuhe" is the same as "Destroying the City", which belongs to the unique skill of the seventh rank, and is the pinnacle of the seventh rank skill.

If it is said to destroy the city, it is extremely powerful and slashed with a single blow.

This heaven and earth is a spear that can be fired from all over the body, and it can be fired in an instant, but it is treacherous but has a strong penetrating power.

This kind of stunt didn't improve Li Yuan's comprehensive strength much, but it could improve his actual combat ability by a large margin.

And at this moment, the disciples who were sent to wait at the Changmian River Ferry in advance sent pigeons to send back the news: Yan Mu has arrived, and they will stay outside for a night first, and then pass through the Antelope Pass two days later.

Li Yuan received the letter, talked to Mrs. Yan and the proprietress, then rode a fast horse, took two jars of good wine, and left the north gate.

Two days passed quickly, and Li Yuan also arrived at the entrance and exit of the three frontier counties.

Hundreds of flowers are in full bloom, colorful, swaying in the wind, and fragrant.

The young man got off his horse casually, and sat in the long grass under the old tree beside the antelope mouth and waited.

An hour later, a white-clothed figure rode in from the mouth of the antelope, surrounded by disciples of the Xuedao Sect.

The figure was thin, with a bit of literati-like elegance, and Li Yuan's face was very familiar, it was Yan Mu.

Yan Mu is two years older than him, so he will be 25 this year.

25 years old is supposed to be the age of great ambitions and thinking about starting a career, not to mention this is a young man who has been in Yujing City for a long time.

However, what Li Yuan saw was exhaustion, disappointment, vicissitudes and abjection on his face.

Li Yuan glanced at the information beside Yan Mu again: 500~530 (600~630).

Looking at it, his previous conjecture was mostly confirmed.

I really didn't expect that the Yan family was still a related family.
At least this Yan Mu is.

Otherwise, with such strength, how could he survive in Yujing?
You know, Yan Mu escorted that upright official to Yujing eight years ago.

The 16-year-old Yan Mu's strength is at most seven ranks, right?If you count a little more, entering the sixth rank for the first time is amazing.

Therefore, Li Yuan continued to speculate that Yan Mu did not escort that person to Yujing alone at all.

Many thoughts flashed across his face, he smiled, held the wine, opened his arms, and greeted him.

Yan Mu was stunned when he saw Li Yuan, because Li Yuan had changed so much
That thin, honest young man with a bit of pride back then is now a heroic figure with a magnificent physique, and before he gets close, a wave of oppressive air rushes towards him.

And he has changed a lot.

When I went there, I was full of pride, but now, my face is full of scum, my eyes are full of desolation, and the vicissitudes of life are extremely vicissitudes.

Yan Mu hurriedly jumped off the carriage and shouted: "Uncle!"

Li Yuan took a few steps forward, hugged him, and said with a smile: "Brother Yan, it seems like I haven't had enough wine to go to the Central Plains."

Yan Mu was stunned.

Li Yuan laughed boldly and said, "If you've had enough wine, why are your eyes full of fatigue?"

Yan Mu smiled, squeezed out a smile, closed his eyes and took a deep breath, and said with emotion: "Although Yujing is good, it's better to return home early. It's better here."

Li Yuan threw him a jar of fine wine and said, "I'm not bragging, this wine is brewed in another woman's restaurant of mine, and it's famous far and wide."

Yan Mu smiled, he is used to good wine, so how could he expect too much from the drinks in a small place?However, some of the worries he had when he returned disappeared.

Brother, still the same brother in the past.

And when he entrusted his aunt to his brother back then, he also had plans to match.

It was no surprise that my uncle called.

He immediately slapped the Kaifeng mud, brought it to his mouth, and stopped for a while. When he saw Li Yuan single-handed holding the altar, and respecting him from a distance, he smiled and said: "This drink is not wine, but the reunion of my brothers." Affection!"

After all, the two looked at each other and smiled, drinking wine.

When the wine entered his throat, Yan Mu showed surprise, and then said: "This wine tastes sweet."

Li Yuan smiled and said, "Ms. Gant's is delicious."

Yan Mu was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Ms. Gant's is delicious."

Li Yuan patted him on the shoulder again and said: "Since you're back, let's stay longer, it's best to stay forever, what's so good about Yujing?"

"Yujing. Yujing" Yan Mu seemed to remember something, and then let out a long sigh.

Li Yuandao: "Master, why are you sighing?"

Yan Mu showed a self-deprecating look, and said: "I was too young back then, and I thought I was escorting an upright official who cared for the country and the people, but I didn't expect that. He was just a mercenary and profit-seeking person!
An upright official is just his disguise, his mask, I was deceived by him! "

After that, he became more and more angry, and with the strength of wine, he raised his head to the sky and let out a long roar, roaring with great grief and indignation: "The ancient sages, who worried about the country and the people, are now safe, safe now?!!!"

Li Yuan glanced at him in surprise, is this nephew really worried about the country and the people?
He waved his hand back, looked at the disciples of the Blood Knife Sect and said, "You go first."

The disciples of the Xuedao Sect clasped their fists and saluted respectfully, then obeyed the order of their ancestors and rode away.

After a while, there was a long road, and there were only two horses walking side by side.

Li Yuan then asked: "Then the upright official is dead?"

"not dead."

Yan Mu said, "He is not an upright official who needs my escort, but an inner sect disciple of a powerful force. He is stronger than me, but he is still pretending to be weak.

The reason why he went to Yujing was because he knew that the red lotus thief was about to rise, and he wanted to inform the gate he was in of this information in advance. "

"Which door?"

"Shenmu Palace." Yan Mu said, then raised his head and said, "Do you know why he hurried to the door to report the news?"

Li Yuan shook his head cooperatively.

"I only found out recently." After that, Yan Mu clenched his fists, "The reason why the dog told the Shenmu Temple was not that he wanted the Shenmu Temple to unite with other forces to suppress the red lotus bandits, so as to avoid the loss of life.

He...he...he actually wanted to let the major forces release the water, allowing the red lotus thieves to attack all the way to Yujing City.

When the red lotus thief has almost done the royal family, they will reap the benefits of the fisherman. "

Yan Mu almost roared and said these words. After he finished speaking, he laughed at himself like a deflated ball, "I'm so stupid, really."

Li Yuan sighed, patted Yan Mu on the shoulder, and comforted him: "Brother Yan, you are not stupid, I would do the same if I were in it."

Yan Mu turned his head excitedly, his eyes were red with tears, and he said: "Good brother!"

The two rode their horses for a while, and it was getting late, so they temporarily stayed in the northernmost Tiannan County.

In the inn, the two had another drink and then returned to the wing.

Only then did Li Yuan know some news about Yan Mu.

Back then, when Yan Mu was young, he went out to study with a teacher, learned [Hui Liu Gong], and was promoted all the way to the seventh rank. After that, he wandered around the rivers and lakes, and had no intention of making friends with an upright official.

Seeing his ability, the upright official invited him to accompany him before going to Beijing and asked him to escort him.

There were also some other people from the Jianghu who accompanied him, but the honest official took good care of him.

Later, Yan Mu knew the reason.

This [Return to Liugong] is actually the basic technique of the "Shenmu Temple". He is very talented, and since he has entered the seventh rank, he should recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors.

The next day, early in the morning, the two set off to continue their journey, and arrived at Shanbao County in the evening.

As soon as he entered the county, Li Yuan took his nephew straight to Baihua Manor.

In front of the manor, Lady Yan was already waiting with Xiao Jin.

The two got off their horses, and Xiao Jin, with a crow on her shoulder, called out "Father".

Lady Yan pointed at Yan Mu and smiled, "That's your cousin."

Xiao Jin pouted, and was about to try to call "cousin", but Yan Mu frowned, and then said in a broken voice, "Is this a natural body?"

Li Yuan looked sideways slightly.

Yan Mu noticed the slip of the tongue, and then pulled Li Yuan to the side and said softly, "Uncle, this child can't see people, otherwise he will cause big trouble."

"Why?"

Li Yuan's expression began to turn cold.

Yan Mu said: "You have been in the borderlands, so you don't know, but outside, Xingke and warriors are already at odds.

This child's eyes are like jade, which is an extremely rare natural skeleton recorded in ancient books.

No, it can no longer be described as a natural skeleton.

This is the living ghost.

If she is seen by a powerful martial artist, she will definitely be killed.

If Xingkui sees it, he will definitely want to abduct this place, go thousands of miles away, and never return! "
