Comprehensive Martial Arts: Read to become a sage, use martial arts to break the ban

Chapter 156

Xiao Luo stayed in Yuzhou City for six or seven days.

On this day, Wei Yun took him to Silverfish House to eat fish, Yuzhou fish is the best in the world.

It was already summer, Wei Yun's figure was slightly plump, and she was a little afraid of the heat, so she changed into a tulle skirt early, which made her chest tremble.

Xiao Luo didn't want to look too much, and asked with a smile: "Beetle, is this name a curse on us diners?"

"A moth eating a book is no different from a man eating fish."

Xiao Luo was used to being poor since he was a child, and he was always free to eat, he could eat delicacies from mountains and seas, and he could also eat leftovers.

"What's so special about Yuzhou fish?"

"Lingjiang is rich in Jiangtuan, which is big and delicious. In addition, there are mullet fish, which are not eaten in other places, and you can't see them."

When they arrived at Silverfish House, the shopkeeper really recommended mullet fish to them.

When I caught it, it was a half-foot-long red fish, bright in color, with several fins, shaking its head and tail, very beautiful.

"Is this edible?"

The shopkeeper said with a smile, "If you can eat spicy food, you can cook it with spices from Yuzhou. It will taste better than that big carp from the Yellow River."

"Then try it, if it tastes good, you will be rewarded."

The shopkeeper smiled and carried the fish to the back kitchen.

A moment later, the mullet fish was brought to the table, Xiao Luo looked intently, there were countless green, purple and yellow spices piled on top, which actually covered the fish body.

He picked up the chopsticks, picked apart the spices, and put a piece of fish into his mouth.

The choking smell rushed to the nose instantly, and then the tongue became numb.

"Water... water."

After drinking half a glass of water in a row, the spicy taste stopped.

Wei Yun covered her sleeves and smiled lightly: "It turns out that His Highness can't eat spicy food."

"No, it's too spicy."

Even so, the tenderness of the fish still left him with endless aftertaste, and he couldn't help but take another slice.

This meal made Xiao Luo sweat profusely. After eating, he rewarded the shopkeeper ten taels of silver.

After leaving Silverfish Residence, the two walked along the Lingjiang River.

A few days ago, the Haijiao gang's building boats were dismantled by the Jingwu army. The keel was cut into several sections and sank into the river. The scattered decks drifted down the river to the Yangtze River.

After the entire river was cleared, boating resumed.

The wind and the sun are fine and the people are happy, and the sunset and the drums return with a few boats.

For the past three years, Xiao Luo has been fighting and killing. Only in the past few days, talking about the past and the present with Wei Yun, eating and drinking tea with her, he feels indescribably peaceful. It seems that someone has shared those burdens for him. So tired.

Thinking of this, Xiao Luo was startled suddenly, could this be Wei Yun's ability too?Don't be fooled by her.

At this moment, Li Fan came with his sword and found them by the river.

"Your Highness, Mu Yumo came to the Tang Sect and said that something happened to Li Hanyi."

Xiao Luo ran away: "Go to Tang Sect!"

Wei Yun looked at him rushing to the ferry with deep thought in her eyes, she turned around and asked the guards to find Wei Lang and Guo Pengju and go there together.

Xiao Luo hurried to Tangmen, Tang Yan, Su Changhe and Mu Yumo were all waiting in Guangyang Hall.

"what happened?"

"When I sent Sikong Qianruo to Xueyun City, the news of Jianzhong was also sent to Xueyun City, and Sikong Chengfeng asked me to bring it to you."

Xiao Luo unfolded the secret letter, the outermost one was written by Sikong Chengfeng, and there were only a few words: "Your Highness is done with work, please come to Xueyun City."

Inside is the wax paint of the sword mound. When it is taken apart, there are also only a few words: "Please help Xueyun City."

There is also a secret letter inside the sword mound, which was actually written by Ye Anshi. It has been torn apart, and Li Hanyi's movements are written on it.

It turned out that after she arrived in northern Xinjiang, she was stopped by the disciples of the Demon Sect when she passed through the territory of the Demon Sect, and they had a fight, which alarmed Ye Anshi.

Ye Anshi invited her to Tianwaitian as a guest, and the two discussed martial arts for a few days, and each gained something.

At that time, northern Xinjiang was no longer peaceful, and there were strong troops on the grasslands, and there was a great intention to invade the Central Plains after autumn.

Li Hanyi declined Ye Anshi's persuasion, and insisted on heading north, crossing the Yin Mountain.

Not long after, the spies of the Devil's Cult lurking in Beimang sent back news that Li Hanyi challenged the fifth raccoon dog of Tibing Mountain. Although he won, he was chased and killed by Rouran's iron cavalry, and fled to the depths of the grassland. His whereabouts are unknown after that.

After Ye Anshi finished writing the letter, he sent someone to deliver it to Jianzhong, which is Li Hanyi's natal family.

Ye Anshi finally wrote that he has sent people to search everywhere, and if there is a whereabouts, he will enter Beimang to save people.

After reading the letter, Xiao Luo was moved by Ye Anshi's righteousness, but also worried about his safety. Li Hanyi was a half-step fugue, and even lost to Rouran's iron cavalry.

If it is not done well, it will become a gang war between Tibingshan and Tianwaitian, or even a war between Beimang and Beili.

If Bei Mang wanted to go south after autumn, Tianwaitian's invasion of the grassland would be the best excuse.

Xiao Luo explained Li Hanyi's situation and his own worries, and asked everyone, "What do you guys think?"

After recuperating for this period of time, Su Changhe's health is no longer serious.

He glanced at Tang Yan: "I will lead the town's military commander to the north immediately."

Guo Pengju said slowly: "In April, when the grass is in full bloom, the Hu people are grazing horses. When autumn is high and the horses are fat, the Hu people will go south. At this time, the grain in the Central Plains is just ripe, and the whole Central Plains has become their big granary. They will grab everything they can Let's go, burn everything that can't be taken away."

"If we enter the grassland, we must prepare for the war between the two countries. What good strategy does General Guo have?"

Guo Pengju came in a hurry and did not bring a marching map, but he had served as the interim governor for three months and knew the frontier army very well.

Immediately said: "In the past, the demon sect marched eastward and deterred the whole country. Your Majesty was afraid that such a thing would happen again. After the death of the old town Xihou, he transferred all the original West Route Army to Yunzhou. With these 20 elite soldiers, Bei Mang could not Go south from Cloud City."

Yunzhou is the northern gate of Beili. There are tall mountains on both sides, but there is a gentle canyon connecting the north and the south.

Cloud City is built in the middle of the canyon, which has been an important place for military strategists since ancient times.

As long as the barbarians pass through Yunzhong City, they can ride straight down and fight all the way to Tianzi.

"In addition, there are 20 North Route Army stationed in Yuyang City, watching and helping Yunzhong."

Xiao Luo secretly recalled the geography textbooks, there are usually three routes for nomads to go south, the east is the best way to go, and there is a flat river, obviously the frontier army of Yuyang City is to defend the eastern front.

The passage in the middle is naturally the Yunzhongcheng, from the Mongolian plateau through Shanxi to the hinterland of the Central Plains, and then to the south of the Yangtze River through AH, or to Huguang through Xiangyang.

Now there are 20 elite soldiers stationed, and it will be able to resist for a while in a real fight.

Then there's the west passage.

Guo Pengju continued: "To the west of Yinshan Mountain is Beiliang, Ganzhou is flat, and Beimang can drive straight into it, but with a big snow dragon riding around, Beimang may not dare to attack Beiliang."

Xiao Luo said angrily: "If you don't dare to fight Beiliang, then you will fight Beili."

"I lead the Jingwu army to the north!"

"No, we all went to the north. If something happens to Tian Zi, we will be too far behind."

Xiao Luo looked at Wei Yun: "Please give me your advice."

Now that she has become a counselor, Wei Yun will naturally do her best, she said firmly: "General Guo and the Jingwu army must not go north."

"Why?"

"There are three reasons. First, Zi needs people to sit in the town; second, once the war starts, it will not end in a short time. At that time, General Guo will be needed to coordinate the overall situation and dispatch troops; third, if General Guo arrives on the northern front, you As the commander-in-chief, do the frontier troops follow your command or the commander-in-chief?"

Guo Pengju nodded repeatedly.

"anything else?"

"Commander Su can't go north, so he's sitting in Yuzhou."

Su Changhe was puzzled and asked, "Why is this?"

"Yuzhou and Tangmen want to watch the survivors of Western Chu. Based on what I know about King Chang'an, he went to Western Chu, which is the beginning of the chaos in Western Chu."

Su Changhe frowned: "Who will accompany His Highness to go north?"

Wei Yun sighed: "Your Highness really has too few people."

"Come with me. Wei Lang!"

"Subordinates are here."

"From today onwards, you will protect your sister's safety and not allow her to make any mistakes."

"This?"

Xiao Luo took out his East Palace Prince Token, put it in Wei Yun's palm, held it, and then raised her hand high: "My lords, listen!"

Seeing Xiao Luo being so solemn, everyone shuddered and said in unison: "Yes!"

"From now on, I will appoint Wei Yun as the strategist of the East Palace. Seeing this token is like seeing my palace. The strategist and General Guo will return to Tianzi today. Please entrust everything in Tianzi City to the strategist."

Xiao Luo bowed deeply to Wei Yun.

This is Tuogu, if he can't come back, please ask Wei Yun to comfort these people in the East Palace so that it can't become a disaster for Beili.

Wei Yun also bowed deeply: "This concubine will live up to the trust of His Highness the Crown Prince."

After explaining Tian Zi's matter, it is the matter of Western Chu: "Tang Yan obeys the order."

"Subordinates are here."

"Since the Tang Sect has been attached to me, I will entrust you with the important task of defending the western border, and Commander Su will cooperate with you."

"Tang Yan will not disappoint His Highness."

A thousand disciples of the Tang Sect had already been ordered and incorporated into the Jingwu Army. Tang Yan knew that her fate was closely linked with Beili's.

It's so good, she thought silently, in a few years, the surname behind Zhenxihou will be the Tang surname.

"Patriarch Mu."

"Subordinates are here."

"I know that you are sad, so I will allow you ten days off. Afterwards, I will go to Jianzhong and tell King Li Su that I will rescue Li Hanyi and come back. Jianzhong will make [-] sets of swords for the North Route Army, and deliver them before the Mid-Autumn Festival." .”

Mu Yumo trekked through mountains and rivers, but still didn't see Tang Lianyue's last face, and his heart was full of depression.

"Follow the order."

Things were arranged properly, Xiao Luo took Li Fan and set off immediately.

Wei Yun sent him off until he walked to the river.

"Your Highness, I will tell you about the martial arts situation in Beimang."

"Ah."

"After the Spring and Autumn War, Beimang was returned to the grassland by the countries of the Central Plains. After hundreds of years of dormancy, martial arts flourished. Today, there are four major sects, including Chess and Sword Yuefu, Gongzhufen, Daodezong and Tibingshan, as well as eighteen Grandmaster."

Xiao Luo's heart sank slightly: "So much?"

"The fifth raccoon dog who defeated Li Hanyi is only ranked twelve among these grandmasters."

"I just want to know who the top three are."

"The number one is Tuoba Bodhisattva, the army god of Northern Mang, the second is Huyan Daguan, who is known as one person, one sect, and the third is Qilin Daoist Yuan Qingshan, who is the national teacher of Beimang and a sage of Taoism."

Xiao Luo took a breath, the three of them sounded unshakable.

"According to Bei Mang, the realm of the three of them is a land immortal, and in Bei Li it is equivalent to the Immortal Traveling Profound Realm."

"I've made a note of it."

Wei Yun smiled wryly: "Northern Li has no doubt that Li Changsheng is in the Mysterious Realm of Immortal Ascension, together with Baili Dongfeng and Mo Yi, it happens to be three against three, but Mo Yi has already been killed by you."

"If I can kill Mo Yi, I can kill Bei Mang's master."

"May your Highness go here safely."

Wei Yun took his leave in a bag.

Xiao Luo looked at the flowing Qingxi in front of him, and smiled: "Fortunately, this place is not Yishui."

The horse was already ready and was grazing on the bank. He and Li Fan brushed across the other bank and galloped away.

a month ago.

Li Hanyi left Tianwaitian and crossed Yinshan Mountain.

In March of Yangchun, the south of the Yangtze River is already full of flowers, but the snow here has not yet melted, and the glaciers are shining brightly in the sun.

Most of the hillsides are bare, but the grass roots on the sunny side have sprouted, showing a little bit of tender green in the white snow.

Yinshan is the border between Beimang and Beili, and further west is Beiliang.

Due to the complex terrain and the prevalence of martial arts, the three countries were unwilling to devote energy to governance. The Demon Sect took advantage of the situation and established 36 small sects in a row from Yinshan Mountain to Shazhou.

Calling it a demon religion does not mean killing people and setting fire to them. Each small sect either spreads Buddhist teachings, or escorts escorts, or extracts taxes from merchants. Each has its own way of survival.

More than 20 years ago, Ye Dingtian subdued all these small sects, unified the religious rules, and enshrined the heavens and the heavens.

Tianwaitian was built on the Yinshan Samsara Peak, with about [-] disciples. They don't do agriculture, let alone compete with herdsmen for water and grass, and rely on tribute from various small sects.

Li Hanyi discussed with Ye Anshi for three days, and felt that she had gained a new level of enlightenment, but she didn't stay for long.

Standing on the top of the Yin Mountain, Li Hanyi stared at the grassland, the yellow-green sandy soil could not see the end, and there was no human habitation in sight.

She didn't have a map, so she walked northward according to the position of the sun.

Ye Anshi said: "There is a city three hundred miles away from Yinshan Mountain, called Wazhu City, which belongs to Longyao Prefecture in Beimang."

After crossing the Longyao State is the Rouran Mountains, passing through the Rouran Mountains to the place she is going to, the Chess Sword Yuefu in Beimang.

However, on the Rouran Mountains, there is another sect worth visiting, which is Tibing Mountain, one of the four major sects.

The fifth raccoon dog, the leader of Tibing Mountain, is also known as the co-lord of Rouran Mountains. He is in the Xuan Realm of the Big Finger, which is equivalent to Li Hanyi's half-step fugue.

The martial arts of Beimang, Beiliang, and Liyang were inherited 800 years ago. They are also divided into nine ranks and four realms, but the four realms are called King Kong, Zhixuan, Tianxiang, and Land Immortals.

In the late founding of the Northern Li Dynasty, martial arts formed its own school.

Li Hanyi went down Yinshan Mountain, walked quickly to the north, and entered Wazhu City before night fell.

The tile-built city is not big, and it is extremely crudely built. Most of the houses are made of giant trees. Only a few government offices in the center of the city use stones.

There are two simple streets, one south and one north. There are various vendors on the side of the road, most of which sell fur and woolen fabrics, as well as kumiss, and a small amount of food.

The feces of cattle and sheep are scattered all over the streets, attracting a large number of mosquitoes.

Dark-skinned men with tall noses and deep eyes roamed the streets, with unsheathed scimitars slung around their waists, they looked like they were martial artists.

Most of the herdsmen do not live in the city, but build a city around the tiles, building a circle of yurts.

After entering the city, Li Hanyi wanted to find an inn, so he asked a few women who set up stalls.The women didn't know whether they didn't understand the official language of Beili, or there were other reasons, they all shook their heads to avoid it.
