My son A Fei has the appearance of a sword master

Chapter 180 The path to rebellion in the new era

Lin Xian'er was in front of everyone, but she didn't notice everyone's expressions.

She originally had a soft and charming smile on her face, but when she saw Li Ling'er next to Zhu Youtang, her smile froze.

This is completely a natural habit of Lin Xianer, because she knows that if she wants others to have a good impression of her, she must first let others know that she has a good impression of him.

So when she meets a well-known man, she will subconsciously hook up with him.

It's just that her hookups have never been traceable, and it's difficult for others to notice except the person involved.

Even the person involved will only think that the other party admires and admires her very much, and will not think that the other party is frivolous and dissolute. This is the brilliance of Lin Xianer's methods.

But at this moment, when she saw a stunning beauty standing next to the son of the Dragon Warrior, and she was no less beautiful than her, even faintly overshadowing her, Lin Xianer's mood suddenly turned from sunny to gloomy.

A kind of deep jealousy and resentment emerged in Lin Xianer's heart.

However, her emotions were not shown on her face. After a brief pause, she leaned forward and said as if nothing had happened: "Young Master Long is here. Xian'er is sorry for missing you from afar. I hope you will forgive me."

Zhu Youtang clasped his fists and returned the courtesy: "Miss Lin said something serious. I and Zhuo Jing have taken the liberty of visiting me. I would also like to ask Miss Lin to be more considerate."

Hearing the word "Clumsy Jing", Ma Xiaoyu and his party no longer had any doubts. At this time, they understood many things.

The couple of dragon and phoenix heroes turns out to be such a dragon and phoenix. This is really a dragon and phoenix worthy of the name.

Li Ling'er was afraid that Ma Xiaoyu and the others would spill the beans and expose their secrets, so she took the initiative to greet her and said, "I am Feng Yuling, and I have met Miss Lin."

Lin Xian'er was startled when she heard this, and said in surprise: "Mrs. Long is also named Feng? I wonder if she is the same as the Tianfeng heroine..."

Li Ling'er smiled and said, "Heavenly Phoenix Girl is my aunt."

Zhu Youtang explained: "My Long clan and Feng clan are both big clans in the north. Our ancestors have made an agreement that the two clans will intermarry for generations."

Lin Xianer suddenly realized that this was the case.

The aunt becomes the mother-in-law, and the uncle becomes the father-in-law. Such a close relationship not only contributes to family harmony, but also ensures the purity of blood. Some aristocratic families do have such rules.

In this era, cousins ​​were not allowed to get married, but there was no problem with first cousins.

Just like Li Xunhuan and Lin Shiyin, the uncle is the father-in-law and the aunt is the mother-in-law. The same principle applies.

However, after hearing Li Ling'er's words, Ma Xiaoyu and others' mouths twitched.

God, there is intermarriage from generation to generation. Anyway, as long as the woman who marries into your family can have the surname Feng, isn't it from intermarriage from generation to generation?

Now that they know the true identity of "Long Shaoxia", they will no longer show their acquaintance with Li Ling'er.

At that moment, Lin Xianer invited the group of people into Li Garden. It was better to come early than to come by chance, so they could have dinner together.

Zhu Youtang and Li Ling'er were arranged to dine together in the side hall, while the four dragon guards were accompanied by Guo Shaoyang, You Longsheng and others.

After three drinks and five dishes, Lin Xianer asked Zhu Youtang the reason for his visit.

Zhu Youtang said: "We came to Taiyuan this time, firstly because we want to do our part in dealing with the Plum Blossom Thief, and secondly because we want to meet the Flying Swordsman."

"I know very well about Abao's martial arts skills. He is a hard-to-find opponent in the world. The Flying Swordsman is a rare and good opponent to be able to tie with him."

After hearing what he said, Lin Xian'er's heart moved and she asked tentatively: "Has Shaoxia Long ever fought against Abao?"

Zhu Youtang smiled and said: "The Dragon and Phoenix clans are family friends with the Li family, Shen family, and Xiong family. We have competed many times since childhood, and we have won and lost. Generally speaking, I win more often."

"But sparring and dueling are different after all. I really want to know how far I can go if I leave no room for chance and go all out."

This is not a lie, nor is Xiong Abao deliberately giving in. Zhu Youtang's martial arts is indeed better than Xiong Abao.

The inherited martial arts of the Zhu family is the Xie family's divine sword. In the world of ancient dragon martial arts, it is also respected as a unique skill of an era. It is already very mature and perfect.

The Xiong Family's Drunken Eight Immortals was created by Li Tianxin. It was originally a unique boxing technique that appeared after the decline of internal strength in later generations.

After Panda'er and Li Tianxin worked together to study and improve it, it became more refined and powerful. When combined with internal strength, it became extremely powerful and fit better with him.

But it's still not mature and perfect, and it's just the most suitable for him, Panda'er.

After all, Xiong Abao is not a panda. Before he walks out on his own path, he still has a lot of room for improvement in martial arts, and the Eight Drunken Immortals still have huge potential to develop.

The Eight Drunken Immortals performed by Panda'er may not be Zhu Jianshen's opponent, but the Eight Drunken Immortals performed by Xiong Abao is inferior to Zhu Youtang.

After listening to Zhu Youtang's words, Lin Xianer couldn't help but have some thoughts.

She said helplessly: "Unfortunately, after the duel, the Flying Swordsman and his two companions disappeared without a trace."

"Flying Swordsman suffered internal injuries and will be in seclusion to heal his injuries in the near future. I'm afraid it will take some time for Young Master Long to find him."

Zhu Youtang smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, I'm not in a hurry to find him now. There is no point in finding him before he recovers from his injury."

"I will be looking around for the whereabouts of the Plum Blossom Thief recently. When he shows up again, I will come to find him."

Lin Xian'er nodded and said: "Okay, I wonder how we will notify Young Master Long if we receive news that the Flying Swordsman appears?"

Zhu Youtang smiled and said: "That's not necessary. My news channels are relatively well-informed. When Miss Lin received the news, I should have already known it."

Lin Xian'er said with a stunned expression: "I am the one who is troublesome."

Zhu Youtang stood up and said, "We still need to see A Bao, and we have to say hello to him about some things."

Ma Xiaoyu said: "I will take you there, please come with me."

……

"Hey, I said you kid is still pretending in front of us."

In the bedroom of Xiong Abao's residence, Zhu Youtang made a funny joke when he saw Xiong Abao pretending to be sitting cross-legged on the bed.

With their cultivation level, no movement within a certain range can escape their perception, so they never have to worry about the fact that there are ears through the walls.

After confirming that their conversation would never be leaked, they naturally had no worries about speaking.

Xiong Abao then opened his eyes and grinned: "It's all a show, why did you guys run out?"

Zhu Youtang didn't look outside and sat down on the edge of the bed beside him, while Li Ling'er stood beside him.

"Chaozhong hasn't had much to do lately, and I heard on the radio that you and Brother Fei were having so much fun, so I came out to join in the fun."

As he spoke, he put his hand on Xiong Abao's shoulder and asked with a smile: "How is it? You have been in Taiyuan for a while, haven't you found out the details of the Plum Blossom Thief?"

Xiong Abao shook his head helplessly and said: "I can't get to the bottom of him at all. Although I have been staying in Liyuan on the surface, secretly I have mobilized the power of Renyi Villa and Xichang to pursue him." "This Plum Blossom Thief doesn't seem to have any clues at all." There is no clue about the existence, but the cases that occur in various places all prove that the Plum Blossom Thief does exist."

"And this so-called Plum Blossom Thief is not a person, but an organization. There are at least five first-class masters in this organization."

Today's first-rate products are no longer as valuable as they were twenty years ago.

Nowadays, the first-class masters recognized by Jianghu people are already at the same level as Bai Jing, the master of the Ghost Palace, and Wang Yunmeng, the Fairy Yunmeng twenty years ago.

The peerless masters 20 years ago, who were tasked with tasks such as Happy King, Plum Blossom Thief, and Demon Cult Leader, can only be regarded as top masters in the world now.

Today's peerless masters generally refer to the circle of sword gods. Only those in the top ten on the martial arts evaluation list are qualified to be called peerless masters.

It can be said that Li Tianxin single-handedly raised the strength of the entire Ming Dynasty to a higher level.

After listening to Xiong Abao's words, Li Ling'er, who had never spoken, said: "There are only two possibilities in this situation. The first possibility is that the Plum Blossom Thief did not come to Taiyuan at all, but chose to hibernate again."

"The second possibility is that the Plum Blossom Thief knows your movements very well. If this is the case, you have to consider a situation."

Xiong Abao nodded slowly and said solemnly: "I understand what you mean. We do suspect that there is a spy lurking around us, passing our information to the Plum Blossom Thief at any time, or the Plum Blossom Thief is simply hiding around us."

"That's why the Plum Blossom Thief can always be 'invisible' under our noses and never run into us."

Li Ling'er asked: "Is there any suspect?"

Xiong Abao shook his head and sighed: "There are more than two hundred martial arts people gathered in Li Yuan now. Anyone can do it. It is not easy to check them one by one."

"That's why Brother Fei and I decided on this plan, pretending that both sides were injured in the duel and unable to take action for the time being, hoping to lure Plum Blossom to reveal the truth."

Li Ling'er said: "This can be considered a solution, but it is too passive. It is no different from waiting for something to happen."

Xiong Abao said: "That's true, but we really have no other way."

Zhu Youtang suddenly said: "Recently, Xichang's spies outside the Great Wall have sent back some news, which may be related to the Plum Blossom Pirates incident."

Xiong Abao said: "Oh? What's the news?"

Zhu Youtang said: "Xichang's spies have found out that there have been some changes in the Demon Cult recently, and they seem to have plans to infiltrate the Ming Dynasty."

Xiong Abao glared and said: "How dare these demon sect thieves eat the bear's heart? With the power that the imperial court now has, what can they do even if they infiltrate?"

Zhu Youtang explained: "Times have changed now. Whether you want to go against the court or secretly dominate one side, you no longer need to rely entirely on force."

"They can make a big fuss about the economy. Once the Demonic Cult establishes a foothold in the Ming Dynasty as a businessman, it can develop secretly and grow stronger step by step."

"After several generations of accumulation, they may even infiltrate key parts of the Ming Dynasty such as the court, local government, factories, Zhuji Chamber of Commerce, etc."

"When that happens, the Ming Dynasty will be in danger."

After listening to Zhu Youtang's words, Xiong Abao opened his mouth and couldn't say a word. He suddenly felt that his brain was not full. Maybe he should go back and study hard for a few years.

Zhu Youtang's words are really not alarmist. After all, the Demon Cult is a huge organization with a long history. It needs money and people.

Once they infiltrate into the Ming Dynasty, An Xin lies dormant and pass it on secretly. After a few generations, the descendants of the demon cult will become normal people of the Ming Dynasty.

Even if the political examination of the three generations of their ancestors fails to find any problems, they will have the opportunity to take the imperial examination, apply for military academies, join the army, enter state-owned enterprises such as chambers of commerce, and gradually gain control of all aspects of power.

By then, with the financial support of the demon sect, they will surely be in high positions and have the power to shake up the Ming Dynasty.

This is the way of rebellion in the new era.

Every era has its own characteristics. Gone are the days of secretly spreading doctrines, developing followers, and then gathering a large number of people to rise up and rise from beggars to emperors.

However, it has to be said that the path of rebellion in the new era is more secretive and complex than in the old era, and more difficult to prevent because the time span is too large.

It is very scary when an organization with a long heritage decides to spend a hundred years planning something.

After a long while, Xiong Abao said: "So you think that the Plum Blossom Robbery incident is related to the Demon Cult?"

Zhu Youtang said: "It is very possible. My father-in-law said back then that the Plum Blossom Thief is probably a member of the Demon Cult."

"Since the Devil's Cult can produce one Plum Blossom Thief, it may not be able to cultivate more Plum Blossom Thieves, so we can proceed with the two lines in the future."

"Ling'er and I will go investigate the situation about the Demon Cult. You, Brother Fei and Afeng will stick to the Plum Blossom Thief line."

Xiong Abao said: "Okay, I know what to do. Once the plum blossom thief shows up, I will try my best to catch him alive."

Zhu Youtang said happily: "You just have to be aware of it. Although the Demon Sect's actions this time are not a catastrophe, if they succeed, even if they succeed only slightly, it will be a trouble for Ming Dynasty."

"When we solve the Plum Blossom Robbery case this time, we will also attack the Demon Cult. We don't want to uproot it, but at least severely damage it."

……

After coming out of Xiong Abao's place, Zhu Youtang and Li Ling'er did not stay for long. When the sky darkened, they said goodbye to Lin Xian'er and left.

They drove the commercial vehicle out of the south gate and drove to Tianlong Mountain in the southwest. There was a secret contact point of the West Factory here, but on the surface it was a temple.

After the car drove five or six kilometers away from Taiyuan City, there were no other vehicles on the road.

Suddenly, Heilong, who was driving, slowly stepped on the brakes, and the commercial vehicle stopped smoothly.

"What's wrong?" Zhu Youtang, who was sitting in the last row, asked.

Heilong said: "Back to the young master, a man suddenly fell from the sky and landed in the middle of the road, blocking the way."

"Falling from the sky?" Zhu Youtang and Li Ling'er looked at each other and asked, "Who is he?"

Heilong first pressed the door unlock button, then turned back, looked at the two of them and said with a grin, "It's Uncle Guo."

While they were talking, Li Mubai had already walked to the car door, opened the door of the business car with a clatter, and bent down to get in the car.

Li Ling'er said in surprise: "Brother, why are you here?"

This business car has seven seats. In addition to the driver's seat and co-driver's seat, there are two seats in the middle opposite the door, and three seats in the back row.

Heilong drove, Qinglong sat in the passenger seat, Bailong and Dulong sat in the middle seat, and Zhu Youtang and Li Ling'er sat at the back.

Li Mubai walked straight to the back row, squeezed Li Ling'er away, and sat in the middle.

The young couple was used to it, they just shook their heads and smiled and didn't care.
