Evergreen Immortal.

Chapter 171 Ten thousand people cultivate their qi, one person ascends to heaven (additional update, thanks to Big Brother Nuan Yang!)

Why would Yao Xue write to him?

Li Rui took the envelope with a little doubt and slowly unfolded it.

The beautiful handwriting caught his eye.

"Senior, Junior Brother Qu is not dead. All the past things were calculated by the Ghost Sect. Now he has returned to the sect and is safe and sound. I hope to see you again. Yao Xue will stay."

Qu Chengfeng is not dead?

Li Rui looked at the pale yellow letter paper in his hand and frowned slightly.

"It's really bizarre."

I don't know how Qu Chengfeng escaped from the clutches of the Ghost Sect.

"I underestimated him."

Li Rui chuckled.

Since Qu Chengfeng is not dead, there is no such thing as revenge for Qu Chengfeng.

He immediately took the letter to Ning Zhongtian.

Yao Xue only gave the letter to him, but the news must be told to Ning Zhongtian.

Otherwise, it would be a crime of deliberately concealing military intelligence.

Qu Chengfeng's matter concerns the two major organizations, Wenxianlou and Anningwei, not just Li Rui and Yao Xue.

A moment later.

He knocked on Ning Zhongtian's door.

After a long while, someone pushed the door open with a grumble.

"Brother Li?"

Ning Zhongtian greeted Li Rui listlessly: "Come in."

These days, his men have been in trouble one after another, and he has also been under a lot of pressure and is extremely depressed.

Li Rui did not enter the house, but took out Yao Xue's letter from his sleeve: "Miss Yao from Wenxianlou sent a letter, Qu Chengfeng was indeed captured by the Ghost Cult, and the body was disguised by the Ghost Cult. He has now escaped and returned to Wenxianlou, safe and sound."

"Really?!"

Ning Zhongtian was delighted.

This is rare good news in recent times.

Li Rui couldn't help but smile and handed the letter to Ning Zhongtian: "There is a letter from Miss Yao of Wenxianlou as proof."

Ning Zhongtian took the letter, glanced at it, and his frown relaxed:

"Good, good!"

"Tell Lord Jiang about this, I'm sure he will be happy."

Ning Zhongtian now urgently needs a happy event to change his position in Jiang Linxian's heart.

In Anningwei, although he is Jiang Linxian's right-hand man, don't forget that his real benefactor is Lieutenant General Lei Yong, not Jiang Linxian.

If you want to consolidate your position, you must show real results.

The relationship between Jiang Linxian and Lei Yong is not something he can squander casually.

After saying that.

Li Rui said tactfully that he had something important to do and left in a hurry.

Looking at Li Rui's back as he left, Ning Zhongtian felt that Li Rui was his lucky star.

Then, he simply tidied up and ran to find Jiang Linxian excitedly.

Qu Chengfeng is not dead.

There is no need to continue the laborious search, and there is more energy to deal with the affairs of the garrison.

This is a good thing for him.

Of course, it must be done quickly.

The turbulent undercurrents in the dark of Qinghe River gradually subsided.

Chunyan Tower was full again.

Ning Zhongtian's men were saved by Jiang Linxian.

As for the others.

What they did was so bad that even Jiang Linxian couldn't stand it, and directly told Zhao Zongqi of the law enforcement camp to punish them severely according to military discipline.

Ning Zhongtian was relieved.

Although it was his men who suffered, if this trend continued, Cao Wei would sooner or later take action against him.

Why didn't Jiang Linxian help before?

On the one hand, it was to catch Ning Zhongtian as soon as possible. On the other hand, it might be to use Cao Wei's hand to hit Ning Zhongtian.

Ning Zhongtian is capable and good at martial arts.

But he was mixed in the underworld in his early years, and his path was too wild, which easily exceeded the rules.

The above are all Li Rui's speculations.

"Master, the minds of these big shots are really scary."

Liang He listened to Li Rui's analysis of recent events and couldn't help but shudder.

He suddenly felt that he was still not suitable for officialdom.

He didn't know when he was played to death.

On the surface, Ning Shoubei's subordinates were not clean, and Cao Wei and the county government investigated and cleaned up the military discipline.

In fact, it was all a game of big shots.

Sometimes your boss is more terrible than your enemy. If Qu Chengfeng hadn't survived this time, Ning Zhongtian might not have been able to get away so easily.

Li Rui laughed: "Xiao He, don't be so depressed, Lord Jiang will still take action in the end."

Killing some seventh-rank officials is a trivial matter in Jiang Linxian's eyes.

As a military officer, he must be severely punished if he commits a crime.

Otherwise, the prestige of the military officer will be gone.

But if Cao Wei wants to move Ning Zhongtian, it will touch Jiang Linxian's bottom line.

His subordinates can only be punished and disciplined by him. If Cao Wei wants to take over, it will be against the rules.

As for Ning Zhongtian being distracted by this matter and not completing the task he was assigned.

Sorry.

This is not a problem that Jiang Linxian needs to think about.

Ning Zhongtian can only be blamed for his lack of ability and failure to control his subordinates. He should be punished.

This is why kindness is not good for commanding troops.

Liang He shuddered.

It is said that the officialdom is like a battlefield. An Ningwei is not a frontier garrison. It does not need to face the enemy directly, but the risks behind the scenes are not less.

Ning Zhongtian is already a sixth-rank garrison, but he still has to walk carefully.

Not to mention him, a soldier of low rank.

Looking at Master Li again, his image becomes brighter and more majestic.

"In the entire An Ning Guard, the most stable person is our hall master!"

This turmoil almost swept all of Ning Zhongtian's men. Everyone was in danger, only Li Rui sat on the Diaoyutai and practiced swordsmanship and qigong.

Little did they know.

On the surface, some people appear to go to bed early and get up early, and are extremely self-disciplined, but in fact they run around all night for a sense of security.

Of course Li Rui would not tell Liang He that he stayed at the county government office every day.

"Xiaohe, how long have you been at Anning Guard?"

Liang He said respectfully: "Two years, three months and eleven days."

Li Rui raised his eyebrows.

He just asked casually and made a simple opening statement. Unexpectedly, Liang He remembered it so clearly.

He coughed lightly and said, "I remember that it has been many years since you entered the imperial examination."

"Yes, Hall Master."

Li Rui nodded happily: "I brought you from Tianyi Hall, and you can be considered as half of my disciples. I am very pleased that you have achieved what you have today."

Liang He felt warm in his heart: "It's all because of the bishop."

This is true.

If it weren't for Li Rui, he might still be an unpopular young disciple of Tianyi Hall.

Li Rui: "Xiaohe, I have recently gained enlightenment and created a technique of my own. Do you want to learn it?"

Create your own exercises.

If others heard this, they would definitely laugh out loud, let alone learn from it, and would not even want to read more.

Nothing else.

Even a prodigy like Jiang Linxian would not be able to create his own martial arts, let alone Li Rui, who was only a seventh-grade martial artist.

Generally speaking, the higher the level of a warrior, the more complete the techniques he creates.

For those forces that have a long history, most of them have martial arts created by their ancestors, and they only need to follow the path of their predecessors to make a very stable move.

It is unwise to take the thorny path instead of taking the broad road.

But Liang He is an exception.

Not only did he not think Li Rui's words were nonsense, he nodded solemnly and said:

"Master, I want to learn!"

He didn't even hesitate at all, with burning desire in his eyes.

I admire and trust Li Rui from the bottom of my heart.

"."

Li Rui was stunned. He had even thought about how Liang He would hesitate and how to persuade him, but he didn't expect that all his back-ups would be useless.

He couldn't help but said: "Xiaohe, this matter is fundamental, you can think about it more."

"No, I will learn martial arts from the hall master. It is my honor to learn the martial arts from the hall master!"

Liang He's eyes were firm.

He is even more confident in Changchun Gong than Li Rui himself.

Yes, Li Rui wants to pass on Lianghe Changchun Kung Fu.

"Very good."

Li Rui nodded happily.

The idea of ​​transmitting kung fu started three days ago.

He continued to perfect the knife-raising style, and accidentally discovered the magical effect of Xuanqing Qi.

That is to let others nourish Qi for him.

Just leave a ray of Xuanqing Qi in someone else's body, and then teach him the sword-raising style, and that person's daily sword-raising process can help him accumulate sword intention and warm his true energy.

He can recycle the true energy and strengthen his body, and that person can also increase his affinity for the true energy by warming and nourishing the mysterious energy, and can cultivate the true energy faster.

A win-win situation.

It's just that there are too few people in the world who are willing to learn his self-created skills and who are quite talented.

But also trustworthy.

After thinking about it, it seems that only Liang He is the best candidate.

This is what happened today.

Li Rui squinted his eyes and looked at Liang He with a smile.

Liang He blinked, wondering what Li Rui meant.

Li Rui sighed softly and had no choice but to remind him: "Since the kung fu has been passed down, you can no longer call me hall master. You can call me master instead."

"Master?!"

Liang He's eyes widened and he was quickly taken over by ecstasy.

He knelt on the ground with a thud.

Bang bang bang bang bang his head three times.

Seeing that there was no sign of stopping, Li Rui grabbed Liang He's shoulders and said, "Three knocks are enough, any more, I can't bear it."

The ancients said:

"If you pray three times instead of four times, something will happen if you pray four times."

Therefore, when worshiping as a disciple, it is enough to kowtow three times. If you bow any more, only ghosts and gods can enjoy it.

Too much luck can sometimes lead to disaster.

These are just old rules that old people pay attention to.

Liang He said in confusion, and then stood up obediently.

Li Rui looked at Liang He, becoming more and more satisfied.

It's not that he doesn't have disciples.

Both Wang Zhao and Ma Yang, who died before, could only call him master.

Although there is only one word difference between master and master, they are very different.

Master, that is the elder who teaches skills. Li Rui passed on the skills of raising horses to Wang Zhao so that he can make a living. The focus is on passing on the skills and not necessarily repaying him. This is called a master.

But Master is different.

Liang He really wants to treat Li Rui as his father. Li Rui has passed down his martial arts skills to Liang He. Liang He must serve tea every day and support Li Rui until his death.

same day.

Li Rui taught Liang He his self-created Changchun Kung Fu.

"Practice diligently every day and never slack off."

One final instruction.

Liang He was full of energy and nodded heavily.

He was about to turn around and leave, but was stopped by Li Rui: "Pack up and say goodbye, let's move here today."

Liang He's eyes widened. He had not yet adapted to the change in status, and soon narrowed his eyes into a straight line:

"Yes, Master!"

Li Rui looked at Liang He who was trotting out, smiled and shook his head.

There is a limit to how one person can nourish his energy.

But if his conjecture is true, if ten thousand people nourish their Qi, one person will ascend!
