"Rokuro, have you put aside your grudge?"
At night, on the roof of an inn in a small town in Huguang Province, Liu Xin and Liu Lang were drinking under the moonlight.
It took ten days to go south from Taiyuan City and finally entered the territory of the governor of Huguang.
There are still three days' journey to Wuchang City.
Of course, this is the time to take a boat all the way south along the Yangtze River to Wuchang City.
The boat has been rented, using the identity of Dugu Yueyue.
Luoshen Villa has its own businesses throughout Zhengyang.
Coal, wood, metal, mineral deposits, etc., half of these businesses in the world are related to Luoshen Villa.
Finding a boat is just a small matter.
But these days, there are a lot of things happening on the Yangtze River.
Eight hundred miles of Liangshan water moorings were breached and 800,000 water bandits were captured, but there must have been many fish caught.
Among the sea arrest documents issued by the imperial court, there were twelve people who were rewarded with more than a hundred taels of silver, and there were countless others with smaller rewards. ,
Of course, among them, Tian Kuixing, the leader of Liangshan, has the highest reward, 10,000 taels of silver!
There is also the official position of a fourth-grade military general.
If you don’t grant it, you can exchange it for a thousand taels of gold!
This also shows the importance the court attaches to this Tian Kuixing.
In the past few days going south, Liu Xin and others heard a lot of similar news.
Because of these escaped water bandits, key waterways around the world have been put under martial law.
Although it is better within the governor of Huguang, checkpoints are also set up at various waterway passes.
Along the way south, Liu Xin's biggest feeling was that his sense of killing was diminishing.
In the north, the imperial court sent troops to clear Liangshan and the unusual move of the Duke of Shu, which caused a bit of turmoil.
The further south you go, the chilling feeling quickly fades.
Now in the inn by the river, Liu Xin and Liulang looked at the Yangtze River in front of them. There were many lightships in the river.
On the swaying river waves, singing and dancing circle the remaining beams.
Seeing this scene, Liu Xin asked this question.
The further south you go, it seems that everything you see becomes peaceful.
Liu Xin could feel the changes in Liu Lang. The former Liu Lang was free and uninhibited, but there was always a hidden meaning of hatred in his eyes, which occasionally flashed out from time to time.
But now Rokuro's eyes were peaceful.
Rokuro raised his glass, probably because he felt dissatisfied, so he changed the wine bottle and started drinking.
"Elder brother, Third Uncle came to chat with you for a long time that day, and later also chatted with me for a while.
Do you know the current situation of Mrs. Mei, who has monstrous means? "
"I don't know."
Liu Xin looked at the wine bottle taken by Liu Lang and was speechless. What should he drink?
I can only hold the empty wine glass and look up at the moon.
There haven't been such peaceful days for a long time.
When I came to the imperial capital, I was always busy, as if something was chasing me behind me, and I couldn't rest for a moment.
"When Mrs. Mei received the news that Linghu Shicheng had been killed, she struggled with manpower and almost beat to death Linghu Chongyao, who was seriously injured and escaped.
But at the last moment, my...father suddenly took action, and everyone under Mei Niangzi's staff rebelled instantly, including the personal maid who came as a dowry and had been with Mei Niangzi for more than forty years!
How ironic that Mrs. Mei had been planning for more than 20 years, but was finally denied by my father in one sentence.
And my hatred was actually transferred to my father at this moment.
It turns out that everything that happened in the past was the work of my father!
My hatred and revenge suddenly became difficult. "
Gudongdong...
Mukuro took another gulp of wine, and the wine dripped down his chin.
"Ha~
Senior brother, do you know? Before my mother died, she still never hated my father!
Maybe she already knew everything at that time, but she still didn't hate my father.
She also told me not to hate! "
"So now I don't know how to hate him. My hatred suddenly has no target!"
Rokuro dropped the empty wine bottle, and a tray was handed over silently. Rokuro touched the new wine bottle, picked it up and filled it.
Liu Xin turned his head and saw Dugu Yueyue with a calm face and a hint of distress in his eyes.
This girl appeared quietly, even he didn't notice it.
My cultivation has become more profound...
Being surpassed so much by a woman of the same age, Liu Xin touched his nose and felt a little ashamed.
Dugu Yueyue took the empty wine bottle and disappeared.
She knew that this time should be reserved for the two of them.
Rokuro finished another sip of wine and slowly lay down, the complicated look on his face gradually fading away.
"Senior Brother, although my hatred has no object, I was a little uncomfortable with it at first. Some... how should I put it, it seemed empty.
But every time I see Yueyue, my heart suddenly becomes full again.
I have also figured it out in the past few days, screw the Dugu family and revenge, I might as well... I might as well marry her!
The most important thing on my mind right now is to marry her! "
After drinking too much, Mukuro became much bolder.
Liu Xin felt uncomfortable hearing it.
There are a few senior brothers, let alone a wife, not even a partner.
Everyone is naked and alone, rough guys.
Liu Lang suddenly became single and had a partner, which Liu Xin was really not used to.
But tonight, I just want Rokuro to let out the last bit of depression in his heart.
Only by opening the knot in his heart can Rokuro go on without any worries.
"Rokuro, are you worried that Yueyue's cultivation level is higher than yours?"
From the corner of his eye, Liu Xin saw an attribute panel hidden in the corridor of the inn.
Dugu Yueyue was well hidden, and Liu Xin could not sense her at all.
It's a pity that there is a property panel.
As a senior brother, although I feel a little uncomfortable with my junior brother's divorce, I still have to help those who should be helped.
The issue of cultivation is actually not a problem for men.
Without the ambition to transcend the mountains, Rokuro would not have been able to reach this point.
But for women, this is a knot in their minds.
Dugu Yueyue must have such concerns in her heart.
Liu Lang and Dugu Yueyue, who were the parties involved, may not have noticed, but Liu Xin and Fan Sisi, as bystanders, were able to glean something from Dugu Yueyue's eyes and expressions.
So asking this question now, letting Dugu Yueyue hear what Liulang is thinking, may be able to untie her knot.
"Yueyue, she is a born great person!
What an enviable talent! "
When these words came out of Liulang's mouth, Dugu Yueyue's hands hidden behind the pillars grasped everything.
"However, talent is talent. The better Yueyue's talent is, the happier I will be! The higher Yueyue's cultivation is, the more at ease I will be!
I wish Yueyue could be a strong master. In this case, not many people in the whole world can hurt her!
Therefore, I am not worried at all that her cultivation level is higher than mine.
I won't have any grudges because of this.
But having said that, as a man, of course I have to protect Yueyue.
Therefore, although Yueyue's cultivation is stronger than mine, I will definitely have to keep up.
It is absolutely impossible for me to let Yueyue protect me in turn.
And senior brother, let me tell you a secret.
In fact, now you including Xiao Qi, including Si Niang, including Gou San'er, what you see of me is not the complete me.
I will show you the real me.
I also believe that I have the ability to protect Yueyue. "
"Okay, I know, then you should work hard."
Liu Xin said with a smile. Basically, Liu Lang's answer was satisfactory, but he didn't understand the girl's thoughts.
Therefore, I don’t know whether Dugu Yueyue will be happy after hearing Liulang’s words or something else.
But at least Dugu Yueyue heard Liulang's sincere thoughts.
This is better than Liulang being embarrassed to say that Dugu Yueyue is embarrassed to ask.
"Okay, while you're still not drunk, let's talk about your next plan.
Along the way south, we also received a lot of news from the covert investigation team. "
Liu Xin straightened his body and started talking about business.
Mukuro still maintained his lying posture, he had drunk a little too much. Yueyue sent him wine more than once.
"Senior Brother, isn't there a clearer requirement for the instructions given to you by the leader of the Jinyi Guards?"
Liu Xin and Liu Lang told him the purpose of his trip south this time.
The status of a Jinyiwei Qianshi is nothing in the entire South China Sea region.
The power that can be mobilized is not great.
His first task is of course to rectify the Jinyiwei in the three provinces in the entire South China Sea region.
But this task is far more difficult than imagined.
Among the four provinces in the South China Sea region, the governor of Guangdong did not need to rectify it and could not rectify it.
That is completely the base camp of the clans in the South China Sea region.
After hundreds of years of operation, even the imperial power has little effect there.
“The land of Nanhai is the territory of several clans and families in Nanhai.
It is useless to talk about imperial power in this place.
Jin Yiwei's identity is of little use either.
So my plan is to focus on Jianghu.
There are no top martial arts forces in the South China Sea, and of course I am referring to the righteous path.
According to the magic way, Xuesheng and Ali are now in the South China Sea.
When the time comes, with them, the problem of magic will not be a big deal. "
Rokuro shook the wine bottle in his hand.
"Elder brother, if the world is really in chaos, where should we go?
Is it to help the court or something? "
Rokuro looked at the stars in the sky. Although the starlight was only a micron of light, it was vast. Although the Yangtze River is illuminated with red lights, it is only prosperous for a moment.
"Do you have any ideas?" Liu Xin looked at Liulang with interest.
“The world is in chaos and it is the people who are in dire straits.
There are only two things we can do at this time, either to dominate and become the master who can change the destiny of the people.
Or, it is to help the master who can change the fate of the people.
Therefore, there is no need to think too much, unless you, Rokuro, want to be the emperor yourself. Anyway, your senior brother and I have no ambitions and have no such ideas. "
Rokuro shook his head repeatedly without any hesitation.
"Of course not!
It’s just that all my brothers and sisters from the Holy Sect are outstanding.
If one day in the future, which senior brother among them wants to achieve a great cause?
Do you think we should help or not? "
"Actually, Rokuro, these things are not things you and I should consider at all.
You have a master, and I have a master. None of these old men are deep-minded, taking one step and thinking ten steps. These are things they should consider. "
"So they are the old silver coins that senior brother often talks about." Liu Lang turned his head and showed a smile.
"Nonsense! When did I say such a thing?"
Rokuro smiled and shook his head, and then Liu Xin also started laughing.
Rokuro did not continue to argue with Liu Xin on this topic. He continued:
"Senior Brother, do we have to rely on Xiaoqi's bandits for this mission in the South China Sea?"
Liu Xin strongly supported Xiao Qi, which of course made Liu Lang have such speculation, but Liu Xin firmly shook his head and denied:
"Of course not. The strength of the bandits is just a vanguard force to test the waters of the South China Sea. Our real breakthrough point is the Bifeng Mansion under the command of Emperor Wu City!
Among the four provinces of the South China Sea, the governor of Zhejiang has Panlong Village, which is also one of the eight auxiliary sects of Emperor Wudi City.
However, compared to Bifeng Mansion in Nanhai, Panlong Village is only insignificant.
Among the eight auxiliary sects in Emperor Wu City, Kunli Sect and Bifeng Mansion have the longest history.
The remaining six factions were strongly supported by Emperor Wu City and forcibly uprooted them from the low-end sects.
The past ten years have not been enough for them to digest the foundation given to them by Emperor Wu City.
Only Kunli Sect and Bifeng Mansion now have strength comparable to those first-level sects.
And you must not underestimate these two sects. Both sects have their own background.
In other words, only a small part of their power is exposed to the people in the world. "
"I know that Kunli Sect was born out of Taoism and possesses many Taoism techniques.
When we were in Taiyuan City, didn't you meet the Taoist priest named Li Cundao? "Rokuro said.
Speaking of this, Liu Xin recalled that that day in Taiyuan City, everyone packed their bags and prepared to leave. Unexpectedly, Li Cundao and Monk Taiping found the inn.
Liu Xin chatted with them for a while.
Based on Monk Taiping's connections and abilities, Liu Xin's true identity has long been investigated.
Li Cundao came here to seek help from Liu Xin.
To put it more directly, Li Cundao sought help from the Holy Sect.
Only the Holy Sect has the ability to deal with the Kunli Sect.
Li Cundao has collected a lot of evidence about Kunli Sect's theft of Taoist magic.
Sun Shanhe, the eldest son of the Kunli Sect, has always regarded himself as a disciple of the Taoist sect.
Otherwise, anyone with a discerning eye would know at a glance that the formations possessed by Kunli Sect were derived from Taoist magic.
Although the Taoist sect emphasizes tranquility and inaction, it is extremely strict with its own techniques, formations, elixirs and other secrets.
The Taoist sect has never allowed its most core secrets and techniques to be spread out in foreign languages.
Although the Taoist sect has declined in recent years, no one in the world dares to underestimate the Taoist sect.
The foundation of Taoism is really too deep.
Together with Buddhism, it has been passed down throughout the Central Plains for thousands of years, and its foundation is simply not comparable to other Jianghu sects.
Taoism and Buddhism are no longer as simple as two sects.
Broadly speaking, these are two kinds of beliefs.
The Buddhist sect is filled with Buddhas, and the Taoist sect is composed of the Taoist ancestors and the Sanqing Taoist ancestors.
These are the sustenance and beliefs of ordinary people.
Buddhism, Taoism and imperial power are the three pillars in the hearts of the people in the world, and one of them is indispensable.
Therefore, although the imperial court supported Buddhism and suppressed Taoism, it never cleaned up the Taoist temples in famous mountains and ancient temples.
The imperial court suppressed only the group of people in the Taoist sect who had the highest military force, because Taoism was pure in heart and inaction, and for Taoism, there was no royal family.
In their eyes, Taoism itself is the most noble.
This is different from Buddhism. Although Buddhism claims that all living beings are equal, it will also build temples for the Zhengyang royal family to enshrine the tablets of Emperor Wuyang.
Daomen couldn't do it.
Li Cundao's needs are also very simple. He is currently wanted by the Taoist sect and it is inconvenient for him to come forward.
Of course, it was not that he made any big mistake, but that the Taoist sect wanted to train him as a holy son of the Taoist sect.
And Li Cundao still had the world of mortals in his heart, so naturally he didn't want to be the holy son of this Taoist sect.
Once he becomes this holy son, he will be trapped in Longhu Mountain or Sanqing Mountain forever.
In this life, I can only worship the ancestors of the Sanqing Dynasty in China and Japan.
And there are still some unfinished things he wants to do in his heart.
The Dao Sect's wanted order for him is actually a form of protection.
Because Li Cundao is too talented in Taoism, especially magic.
Wanting him means that this person and their sect have to be determined, and other forces are not allowed to interfere.
This has been the practice of Buddhism and Taoism for thousands of years. When they issue wanted notices, others are not allowed to interfere.
Of course, these were all said by Taiping Heshang. Li Cundao remained silent from beginning to end. Liu Xin could feel that there was a faint trace of Buddhism left in Li Cundao.
In fact, it is the inner power of Buddhism.
The inner strength of Buddhism is different from the inner strength of other methods.
The emphasis is on saving all sentient beings, so Buddhism’s internal power has almost no other attributes.
Unlike other skills, some are fierce and fierce, some are lingering and feminine, and they always have their own attributes and characteristics.
But the inner power of Buddhism is a pure aura of righteousness, without any attributes at all.
Judging from the fact that Li Cundao never said a word from beginning to end, but his eyes were spinning around in his sockets.
Liu Xin believed that there might have been some Buddhist restraint techniques such as closed-mouth chanting imposed on him on the Taiping River.
Of course, this is not the point. The point is that this matter seems to be easy for Liu Xin to do, but he kept the old man's instructions in mind and did not agree directly.
The leader of the Sheng Sect once told Liu Xin that if it involves Taoism or Buddhism, it is best not to involve too much.
What Li Cundao wants now is for Liu Xin to pass the news back to Daomen through the channels of the secret investigation team.
Although Liu Xin finally took over the matter, he did not want to use the power of the secret investigation team. Instead, he carried the letter with him, still without the envelope, and prepared to find a safe Jinyiwei channel. Then send this letter.
Naturally, Liu Xin did not open this letter and check it.
Although there is no letter stamp on this letter at all, it seems that you can open it and see the contents with just a slight lift.
But Liu Xin still didn't do that.
Of course, first of all, there are corresponding means in the Taoist secret method to detect whether you have read this letter.
More importantly, he believed in the character of Monk Taiping and Li Cundao.
