In the capital of the Zhou Dynasty, almost everyone was waiting for the news from the north. Everyone knew very well that if Li Xiuping did not go north this time, he would be in trouble for half his life, and both the Xia Dynasty and the Zhou Dynasty would be unbearable. Small shock.
Therefore, the people in the entire capital only want to hear two pieces of news now. One is that Li Xiuping successfully rescued Xu Bansheng, and the other is that Li Xiuping was intercepted and killed by monks from the Zhou Dynasty and was unable to go south.
Only in this way is it a good thing for the Zhou Dynasty. If Li Xiuping rescues Xu Bansheng, then the Zhou Dynasty will have another general who is good at conquering and fighting. With him guarding the border, and his relationship with Li Xiuping, it will not be easy for the Xia Dynasty to go south.
If Li Xiuping is intercepted and killed in the Xia Dynasty, it will inevitably affect the forces behind Li Xiuping. This will also have a big impact on the Xia Dynasty. It can also ease the situation of the Xia Dynasty going south and give the Zhou Dynasty some breathing time.
But if Li Xiuping failed to save Xu Bansheng, and the monks of the Xia Dynasty could not stop him, it would be tantamount to annihilation for the Zhou Dynasty, which was already in danger. At that time, a huge empire would be overturned. possible.
Therefore, the entire capital attaches great importance to the situation in the north. As long as there is a little bit of news, it will be sent to the capital as quickly as possible. When the Zhou Dynasty knew that Li Xiuping and Wan Jian had cleared the way, it was inevitable to bring Xu Bansheng back. The entire capital was relaxed. After taking a breath, it was as if even the dark clouds covering the capital had parted.
Outside the capital, a young girl was sitting in a tea stall, looking at the northern sky, and asked softly: "It's really impressive. How come this guy has the strength of a saint?" The old man, who was all hidden in a black robe, nodded. He nodded and said: "There is no realm, but he can stand shoulder to shoulder with the immortals. No wonder even your Majesty praised him highly." The girl murmured: "No realm, what is no realm?" The old man did not answer, because he did not Knowing how to answer this question, this was also the first time he saw a person who had no realm but could possess such great strength.
The girl then said: "Let's go, let's go and join in the fun." The old man frowned and said, "Miss, really want to interfere in their affairs?" The girl shook her head and said, "Let's go and see, we'll decide later whether to interfere or not." She said He stood up and continued: "But the possibility of our intervention is very low. The Kunlun Mountains should not take action." The old man frowned and said: "But..." The girl interrupted: "Don't worry, although Taoism is powerful, but The Taiyi Sect is still not on the stage in Taoism, and even the Kunlun Mountains may not be able to get those old guys to take action. Besides, there is still my father." The old man sighed, said no more, and followed the girl. Walk towards the capital.
On the same day, countless scholars continued to enter the capital. After entering the city, these scholars did not gather together. Instead, they each found a place to stay, as if they were waiting for something.
Li Xiuping soon entered the capital, followed by countless sword cultivators in the Sword Washing Pool. This made the people in the capital who were relieved once again become heavy again.
With so many sword cultivators appearing at the same time and so many Confucian disciples in the city, if any friction occurs, it will not be a good thing for the capital.
They all know that Xijianchi and Guanchao Academy have never been easy to deal with. Although they have had some interactions with Li Xiuping in the past two years, the grievances between the sects are not so easy to resolve. Once friction does arise, , that is the battle between the two holy places. This small capital is not enough to be demolished by these immortal figures.
On the imperial city side, a middle-aged man stood on the tower. This great commander, whose power in the Zhou Dynasty was no less than that of the emperor, had a serious expression on his face at this moment.
A woman in a red dress came up and saluted: "Father, do you really want to dismantle the formation?" The middle-aged man nodded and said: "If we really want to start a fight, the formation we have arranged will not have any effect, and Their goal this time should be Taiyi Sect, and Li Xiuping is an opportunity." Gao Yunmian was stunned.
The middle-aged man smiled and said: "How can ordinary people like us see through the saint's plan? However, the confrontation between Guanchao Academy and Sword Washing Pond is obviously for people to see. Otherwise, under the pressure of the Taoist sect, no matter it is I'm afraid neither the Guanchao Academy nor the Sword Washing Pool can contend for so long." He smiled and said: "The overt opposition and secret alliance deceived the whole world. The Confucian saint at the time was really a son of all living beings. Everything is considered dead." Gao Yunmian asked: "Who was it three hundred years ago?" The middle-aged man nodded and said: "Chen Qingshan, a true and well-deserved saint." Gao Yunmian asked "What are we going to do?" the middle-aged man shook his head and said bitterly: "Even if we want to intervene, we can't. Even if that kid wants to kill our empress, we can only watch." Gao Yunmian shook his head and said: "He can't." The middle-aged man smiled and said: "It's just that you think he can't. Don't think that you really understand him after you have been with him for a while. Even I don't understand him completely." I can't see clearly." Gao Yunmian was stunned for a moment, and then asked: "Isn't that why my father asked me to go to Qingyang County in the first place?" The middle-aged man shook his head and said, "I just owed Mr. Ouye a favor by doing this. This favor is just the last words of our old Imperial Master. Now it seems that our old Imperial Master is also a Confucian disciple." Gao Yunmian nodded, thoughtfully.
The middle-aged man smiled and said: "Although our Night Travel Division has a long heritage, it is rooted in the secular world after all. We need to rely on the power of the secular world to survive. There are some things that we cannot touch. For example, this Mr. Li, although we have never We knew from the beginning that he was favored by many big shots, and we knew from the beginning that he would definitely do something earth-shattering in the future, but until today, none of us would have thought of what he has experienced and done?" Gao Yunmian nodded again.
The middle-aged man stopped talking, but turned around and walked downstairs. When he was about to go downstairs, he seemed to remember something, stopped and said: "If he comes back this time to find you, then everything will go as it should." Of course, if he wants to know anything, tell him what you know. If he doesn't come to you, don't go to him either." Gao Yunmian was stunned for a moment, then nodded.
The middle-aged man walked downstairs and said quietly: "We are just ants in this world. We thought we could catch a glimpse of the secrets of heaven, but that was just the tip of the iceberg..." He seemed to be saying something behind him, but because he had already walked downstairs, It was upstairs, and there was a lot of wind upstairs, so I couldn’t hear it clearly.
Gao Yunmian stood alone on the city tower and whispered: "I still think he is not that kind of person." Gao Yunmian actually didn't know what kind of person that kind of person was, but he just felt that Li Xiuping was different from other people. Gao Yunmian felt this way when he first met Li Xiuping in Qingyang County.
She has always treated Li Xiuping as her own brother, so although she knows a lot about Li Xiuping, she is not just doing it to complete the tasks assigned by her father, otherwise she would not have led the Night Travel Division to the court. Things about the Immortal Sect.
But Gao Yunmian was actually a little worried, fearing that Li Xiuping would really not look for her when he came back this time. If Li Xiuping doesn't look for her when he comes back this time, it means that her father is right. There are basically two worlds between them, so she is actually looking forward to Li Xiuping's return this time, but she is also a little afraid.
She still remembers the domineering look on Li Xiuping's face when he left. It was the first time that she felt that Li Xiuping was strange and that the young man was no longer the boy she was familiar with.
However, Gao Yunmian soon smiled, and all her worries were swept away, because just above the tower, a person appeared out of thin air, someone she was extremely familiar with.
Li Xiuping. After Li Xiuping appeared, he landed directly on the tower next to Gao Yunmian, and then said with a smile: "Sister Gao." Gao Yunmian didn't know how to speak for a while, so he opened his mouth, and it took him a long time. No words were spoken.
"Come back?" Gao Yunmian said. Li Xiuping nodded and said, "I'm back." Gao Yunmian asked, "Are you okay?" As he said that, he looked at Li Xiuping.
Li Xiuping shook his head and said: "It's okay." He continued: "How can those monks of the Xia Dynasty hurt me? Sister Gao, don't worry." Gao Yunmian nodded,
"It's okay." She continued: "Are you here to get back the couplets left by your master?" Li Xiuping was stunned, shook his head and said, "I still have a lot of things to deal with now, so that thing has to be Sister Gao has been keeping it for a while." Gao Yunmian nodded, then hesitated.
Li Xiuping asked: "Sister Gao, what do you want to say?" Gao Yunmian said: "You don't have anything to ask me?" Li Xiuping shook his head and said: "Sister Gao will tell me what she wants to say, and what she didn't say, There must be Sister Gao's own reasons. Anyway, I only know that it was Sister Gao who took care of me all the time, and that's enough." Gao Yunmian then asked, "Do you really want to go to Taiyi Sect?" Li Xiuping did not answer immediately. Instead, he stood next to Gao Yunmian, looked at the sky in the distance, nodded and said, "Some grievances always have to be resolved." Gao Yunmian said, "Be careful." Li Xiuping withdrew his eyes and said with a smile. : "There are so many powerful people in the academy and the sword-washing pool. Just don't worry, Sister Gao. Besides, I can't let Sister Gao keep keeping that couplet for me." Gao Yunmian hesitated and asked, "What if this is the case?" You failed to rescue him this time, will you really kill His Majesty?" Li Xiuping was stunned, but still did not answer immediately, but fell into thinking. After a while, he shook his head and said: "No." Gao Yunmian was stunned.
Li Xiuping smiled and said: "No matter what, she is the woman Xu Bansheng likes, and it is Xu Bansheng's own choice. I can't save him. It is my junior brother's own business and has nothing to do with the Zhou Dynasty." Gao Yun Mian nodded, feeling a little disappointed.
Li Xiuping said with a smile: "Besides, even if I don't give anyone any face, I still have to give it to Sister Gao." Gao Yunmian raised his head and met each other's eyes.
It turns out that the boy has grown up and is no longer the kid who blushed after being teased a few times by her...
