Ninth Grade Jailer: He actually went on a blind date with the leader of the Demon Cult at the beginn

Chapter 457 A good horse never turns back! But if you are really hungry...

"Li Yan, tell me, why has this person changed so much? It's only been less than two years..."

In the attic, Cui Wanwan looked at Li Nuo's back completely disappearing from the mansion gate, with a trace of confusion in her eyes.

Two years.

The man she knew had changed drastically.

He won the first prize... was demoted to jailer... made a comeback... and became a highly respected minister...

From the top of the clouds that everyone yearned for, he fell to the trough of life where everyone was betrayed and separated from his relatives, but he was able to stand up again and staged a scene of the return of the king.

It's a pity that she only participated in the first stage of his "horse hoof disease when he was proud of the spring breeze and saw all the flowers in Chang'an in one day" and was not able to accompany him to the end...

Back then, if she had been stronger and stood firmer... maybe things would have turned around, right?

Do you regret it?

she does not know.

But my grandfather must have regretted it, right?

However, given his status as a grandfather, I am afraid I can only suppress this regret deep in my heart and not express it.

In the first half of her life, she was the eldest daughter of the Cui family. She seemed to be rich and luxurious, but she was just a puppet being played with by others.

Then for the rest of your life, live for yourself! Life lasts only a few decades, and in the end it turns into nothing more than a touch of loess...

Slowly, Cui Wanwan's eyes became firm.

As the saying goes: They say if you miss it, you miss it... But, she didn't believe it! If you don't try it again, how will you know that you have really missed it?

If you don't give it a try, you'll probably be unwilling to accept it for the rest of your life, right?

"Sister...how about you go after him? As your dearest and most beloved brother, I will definitely support you with all my strength! The happiness in the rest of your life should be pursued by yourself."

Seeing that his elder sister's lovesickness for Li Zian was still so strong, Cui Liyan encouraged her.

The women of the Cui family have suffered enough!

A few days ago, he also inquired about his aunt Cui Yunyun.

If it hadn't been for my grandfather's forcible intervention and insistence on saying that he was a good match, my aunt would have been very happy, right?

That's why he is so eager to take power!

He wants to change from the roots of the Cui family!

No matter how hard it is, the indomitable good man of the Cui family will endure it. How can he suffer the women of the Cui family?

He wants to support a free world for the women of the Cui family!

"Brother, do you think he will accept me again?"

Cui Wanwan started to worry about gains and losses again.

This is a common problem among women.

I wanted to catch that wisp of misty clouds, but when I stretched out my hand, I was worried that I couldn't control it.

"Although the old saying goes, 'A good horse never turns back', but, ahem...if you happen to be hungry, you should, maybe...want to have a taste of the free lunch delivered to your door..."

Cui Liyan hesitated.

boom!

A fist fell on his forehead. Cui Wanwan became angry and stood on her head with her eyebrows: "Bah, it's really a dog's mouth that can't spit out ivory. I have read all these years in vain!"

"Hehe, I'm just talking rudely!"

Cui Liyan covered his painful head, laughed and ran away.

Since the elder sister can't save her face, of course he, as the younger brother, must help her!

Um.

I have to think about what I can do...

Otherwise, find an excuse to invite Li Zian out and get him drunk?

Hehe, what a great idea!

Zian's wife is not with him these days. Doesn't this just give me an opportunity to take advantage of him?

As long as he can cook the rice, Zi'an will definitely be responsible to the end with his affectionate and righteous character.

As for who is big and who is small?

There's nothing to argue about.

The elder sister has the Cui family as her backer, so she is still afraid of being bullied?

Besides, Zi'an and his wife are not that kind of person.

He had also seen her before, she was a gentle, generous, and considerate woman.

Well, that’s it!

Cui Liyan had an idea in his mind.

…

After Li Nuo came out of Cui Mansion, he returned directly to Chang'an.

The New Year is coming soon, and Chang'an is his real home. As for this Luoyang Villa, it is just a temporary place to stay.

Return to the west part of the city.

The house was very lively.

The red lanterns are hung high, and the new peaches have replaced the old talismans. And there were children nearby who would throw a few firecrackers from time to time and burst into innocent and cheerful laughter, which immediately gave the atmosphere of the New Year.

Neighbors would come to visit him from time to time to take advantage of the good fortune of Mr. Wu An.

"Hey, Mr. Wu An is back, congratulations!"

An old man happened to come out of the house opposite the door with strong steps. When he saw Li Nuo, he was not timid. He puffed up his chest and smiled on his face.

"Old Chentou, are your legs and feet completely agile?"

Li Nuo also greeted him without any airs.

"Hehe, isn't it just thanks to Mr. Wu An!"

The old man cupped his hands and immediately became elated, "Didn't Mr. Wu An compose a war poem when he bid farewell to Jian Daru in Baqiao? I was lucky enough to be present, and I was healed by the literary energy from heaven."

"Haha, good. Is Old Chen's fortune coming now? This blessing will definitely continue."

"Then I'll take my leave from Duke Wu An. I'll take my leave now."

"Old Chen, walk slowly."

After chatting with Lao Chen for a few words, Li Nuo walked into his house.

Liu Xiangjun was wearing a brand new red satin skirt and said with a smile: "Brother, I made you a new dress, you can change it later. By the way, when will my sister-in-law be back? The Chinese New Year is in two days. It’s over.”

Li Nuo: "Oh, your sister-in-law won't be back for another three months."

"Ah, this..."

Liu Xiangjun opened his mouth, slightly disappointed.

Li Nuo smiled and said, "Where is your Master Beiyue? Didn't he come to see you?"

Liu Xiangjun suddenly became shy: "Brother, Mr. Beiyue entrusted me with a letter saying that according to etiquette, he and I cannot meet. We can only wait until..."

"Haha, that's right. Beiyue is a first-class family with many rules. Forget it, just follow the etiquette rules. Tomorrow I will ask him to choose a date to hire and marry my precious sister."

Li Nuo joked.

He knows Beiyue Feihuai.

This is a somewhat old-fashioned guy, but he has a very strong self-esteem.

Commonly known as: The stubborn cow!

"By the way, brother, I received a letter this morning from Shushan."

As Liu Xiangjun spoke, he took out the letter and handed it to Li Nuo.

Li Nuo took it and took a look.

Hey……

It was written by that girl Qiluo.

The letter said that since the lady did not come back, she would spend this year in Shushan. I have been traveling all over the country with the young lady before, but I didn't spend much time with the old man to celebrate the New Year. So this year I will stay and tease the old man, and return to Chang'an on the second day of the new year.

That's fine.

Dugu Feixue is indeed very old, and she doesn't know how many years she has left to live.

"Brother, should you eat at home tonight, or go to the palace to accompany the princess?"

Liu Xiangjun also found the right opportunity to fight back.

When she was in Qingyang Palace before, she knew about the relationship between His Highness Qingyang and her brother, which made her unable to recover for a long time.

The rumors actually came true!

She was the most powerful princess in Dayin, and she actually fell in love with her brother...

My brother is so awesome!

"Eat at home. I want to eat a cow and three sheep, so hurry up and prepare them!"

Li Nuo glared angrily.

It’s been a long time since I’ve had a meal with my family.

"Hehe, I'll hold you to death!"

Liu Xiangjun ran towards the kitchen with a smile.

Li Nuo smiled and then went to Lao Huang's side yard.

It was a cold day, but Lao Huang was still naked with his strong upper body, holding a sword in his left hand and a knife in his right hand, and was dancing with the sword in the cold wind!

For a moment, the sword energy was flowing freely and the sword light was dazzling.

Li Nuo flicked his wrist and swung three flying knives towards Huang Jiujian, hitting Lao Huang's top, middle and bottom.

In an instant.

The sound of sonic explosions piercing the air was like children setting off firecrackers on the street.

Lao Huang held up the sword flower in his left hand, and with a surge of swords in his right hand, he knocked away the flying knives coming from the middle and lower directions. As for the flying knife on the way, he unexpectedly opened his mouth and bit it, holding the flying knife firmly in his mouth without hurting himself at all.

"Haha. Uncle Huang's style is still as good as before."

Although Li Nuo did not use his full strength, he still took advantage of the sneak attack, but failed to succeed. It can be seen that Huang Jiujian's strength was definitely condensed from hundreds of battles, and it was by no means a wasted reputation.

Huang Jiujian has more than a dozen scars of varying depths on his body. These are his achievements on the battlefield!

He accepted the effort, laughed and said, "All things are done? What did your Majesty say?"

Li Nuo nodded and said, "Uncle Huang had the foresight. Cui Wuhui calmly asked me to take over the task of going south to quell the chaos."

Old Huang said: "Opportunities and dangers coexist. Cui Wuhui's actions are indeed upright."

"Hey, it's just that I don't have any soldiers. Uncle Huang, you should know many generals and captains. Can you ask them to help me?"

Li Nuo naturally came to Huang Jiujian to bring in more reinforcements.

Let’s not talk about the combat effectiveness of Long Xiang’s army. This is the emperor’s personal army. How did he instigate it?

Rather than saying that the emperor sent him to help him, it would be better to say that he came to monitor him.

After all, in addition to taking charge of the Southern Expedition, he also served as the governor of the three realms!

In other words, from the moment he sets off on Chuqi, he has the final say over most of the south!

Even though the emperor said nice things to him in court and gave him reassurance, could he really feel at ease?

So he needs a lot of help.

Of course Chen Can and others also have to serve as the captain's assistant generals and go south with the army, but this manpower is still far from enough.

After all, he was leading 100,000 new recruits.

Huang Jiujian shook his head, helpless: "Hey, basically all the brothers who fought with me are dead."

Back then, he had eight other sworn brothers. They charged into battle together and fought on the battlefield, which was a very happy time.

It's just that God didn't have his way.

In the battle with the Wu Clan, a large part of it was lost.

Time passed slowly, and decades passed, and in the end, he was the only one left alive.

Huang Jiujian added: "It's just that the soldiers are more skilled than more."

rational!

Li Nuo immediately had concerns in his mind.

Recruiting 100,000 troops in Jiangnan is power, and it is indeed very attractive.

But how can one hundred thousand new troops be so easy to control?

He has to make a choice.

If you are greedy, the snake swallows the elephant!

He is not Han Xin, the more the better.

Li Nuo then asked: "In Uncle Huang's opinion, how many soldiers are the most suitable?"

Huang Jiujian stretched out two fingers: "Twenty thousand is enough!"

"Twenty thousand? Is this too little?"

Li Nuo frowned.

Huang Jiujian explained: "We only want elite soldiers! The imperial court does not have that much good armor and weapons to equip a hundred thousand new troops. Besides, Zian, you are the leader of the Wulin Alliance. Maybe when we reach southern Xinjiang, the Demon Sect will surrender directly with weapons."

"Okay, then twenty thousand!"

Li Nuo, who was not an indecisive person, made a decision immediately.

Twenty thousand sergeants, that would be easy.

But don't forget, there is a brave army in Chang'an City that has fought alongside him!

Then... after the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, if you go south to recruit troops, you can build a plank road openly and covertly to visit Chen Cang!

"But there are many masters of the Demon Cult. The four guardians are all famous figures for many years. Please help me, Uncle Huang."

Li Nuo said.

Fighting is no joke.

With one more third-grade master there, there is naturally a better chance of winning.

"Don't worry, I will naturally follow you when you go south this time." Lao Huang said with a smile, "By the way, have you found out who the person who harmed you is?"

Li Nuo shook his head: "I talked to Cui Wuhui before I came back. He said that maybe the person who harmed me is not in the court."

"Cui Wugui...Since he said such things, it should still be credible."

Huang Jiujian said solemnly, "I know him a little bit, and he doesn't bother to lie. But if he's not in the court, how can he be in the Jianghu? That's not right. Who in the Jianghu dares to frame you, the leader of the martial arts alliance? And the major sects in the Jianghu don't have the qualifications to do it. Ability can influence the situation in Yanjing!"

Li Nuo smiled bitterly and said: "I have too many enemies. The Tantrists and I have issues, the Wu tribe also wanted to harm me before, and the barbarians are even more at odds with me."

"Just take it one step at a time. Since the other party wants to harm you, there will definitely be further actions."

"That's all it can do."

…

Time passed quietly.

This year, although Ye Qingyu is missing, the family is still happy.

Even Ziyuan came to have New Year's Eve dinner together. Of course, after Zishi set off the firecrackers, Li Nuo sent her back.

Before leaving, Ziyuan was reluctant to leave.

Li Nuo comforted her, saying that he would definitely take her to Wushan before February 2 to find the black butterfly Gu worm to help her survive.

The time comes on the second day of the first lunar month.

With Qingyang's help, Li Nuo selected 10,000 soldiers and changed his identity and headed south.

These are private soldiers loyal to Qingyang.

After the First World War in Chang'an, Qingyang was granted the title of Chang'an, and these private soldiers became her bodyguards in an upright manner. This was also regarded as the emperor's reward for her.

Of course, the number of people is also limited and cannot exceed 30,000. Moreover, the imperial court does not provide military pay. But for Qingyang, raising an army of 30,000 people was just a drop in the bucket.

Moreover, such transfer does not require the approval of the Ministry of War.

Li Nuo asked them to go south in batches, starting from the second day of the lunar month and continuing until the second day of February to gather in Lingnan.

It's approaching evening.

Qiluo finally came back from Shushan.

After saying goodbye to Shushan, Qiluo gained weight again.

It seems that the food in Shushan is very good.

Too.

If you're not catching cranes or pounding golden pheasants, how can you not get fat if you eat every meal?

"Uncle, I heard that you were granted the title of Duke Wu'an, and you still managed the three provinces south of the Yangtze River, overseeing the military and political power?"

This time, Qiluo kept chattering with questions.

"Well, I will lead an army of 100,000 to annihilate the demon sect that has dominated southern Xinjiang for many years and has not obeyed the orders of the imperial court!"

Li Nuo smiled.

boom!

Qiluo's mind went blank.

What are you talking about?

Lead the army to destroy the demon sect?

Is this serious?

Looking at the confused Qiluo, Li Nuo teased: "You are a fifth-grade swordsman, so you can be of help, so just go with me on the expedition."

"Uncle, you can't fight the Demon Cult!"

Qiluo suddenly became anxious.

"Why not?"

Li Nuo glanced at it.

"Because, because..."

Qiluo's little brain immediately started to work, and finally thought of a reason, "Because there are so many masters of the Demon Cult, and the four major guardian Dharma Kings join forces, even the Jiu Sword Immortal will have to flee for three thousand miles! My uncle will definitely be in danger if he goes there. ah."

In order to prevent Li Nuo from going south, Qiluo had no choice but to arrange the Jiujianxian.

"That's it..." Li Nuo sighed in embarrassment, "But I have accepted the imperial decree, so I have to go."

Of course, his peripheral vision has been paying attention to Qiluo's expression.

Poor Qiluo was only nineteen years old. How could she fight against Li Nuo, who was comparable to an old fox? She was immediately deceived by Li Nuo.

The Demon Cult and the Lady really have a close relationship!

Could that leader of the Demon Cult, whose dragon has never been seen before, be a lady?
