At night, Li Xuan and Wei Yao did not return to the Magnolia Pavilion, but planned to spend the night in a remote place in the city.
Going back so late is too conspicuous, so it's better not to go back; then others will think you didn't go out or came back early...
And sure enough, as soon as the hawker's body was gone, Li Xuan didn't hear any approaching footsteps around him again.
He pulled Wei Yao into the carriage.
Wei Yao couldn't resist Li Xuan and was touched by Li Xuan. Her face was flushed, her legs were twitching, and her heart was pounding. She knew in her heart that this was not a good place to do that, but she still looked forward to it.
After a while, even if the car was turned upside down and shaken like waves, she would only enjoy it because...she had completely fallen.
However, Li Xuan did not move his hands or feet, but gently hummed the melody.
This melody exudes tranquility and a touch of sadness, like the ocean tide in a quiet night, like the rolling moonlight, or like a lonely figure running alone on the beach, which can easily make people feel at peace.
This was a melody he had heard before traveling through time. He couldn't remember the title of the song. It might have been a piano piece, or something else...
The charming atmosphere added a bit of romance, and then relaxed.
The tall and thin demon body slightly hunched its back, pursed its lips to extinguish the salivation, and just hummed a tune.
Wei Yao didn't dislike him at all, but leaned in the arms of the demonized Li Xuan, listening to him humming the music, and the desires that were about to stir in her heart seemed to calm down.
She slowly closed her eyes, tiredness came over her, and then she slowly fell asleep...
In the carriage, the sound of tunes slowly disappeared.
Li Xuan pulled the cloak and let the girl cover him completely in the same cloak, as if she were sleeping on the same quilt to keep out the cold. Then he took a deep breath and performed the sun breathing method of "Everlasting Green Skill" .
The body and mind are peaceful, and a Qi arises in the belly, and the Qi circulates around the sky, and then reaches the Niwan Palace, where the image of the scorching sun in the fundamental diagram adds warmth, and then falls from the sky and sinks to the abdomen.
Use the vulgarity of the world to transform the energy in the body, and then add a touch of the meaning of the sun, and then nourish the whole body, and all the bones will be relaxed.
After all his luck, he never failed.
Li Xuan continued to practice.
His mental attributes are very high. Under this kind of practice, which is regarded as rest, he will be full of energy even if he doesn't sleep for three days and three nights.
...
The next day, early in the morning, Li Xuan returned the rented carriage to the horse shop, took Wei Yao after breakfast and prepared to return to the Magnolia Pavilion.
Along the way, there was a sudden sound of horse hooves, rustling like thunder, and even the bowls, chopsticks and teapots on the table in the shop next to the table made a slight "drum" vibration.
The people looked at it from a distance and chatted curiously.
"Are there thieves here? Why did General Yuan send troops?"
"There are so many soldiers, what happened?"
"It looks like it's to the south, and the south is Qinghe. What could happen..."
Li Xuan didn't pause, but he knew... Yuan Guan seemed to really want to kill Lin Jieniu and Mr. Su.
So......
Since he doesn't want to investigate, let General Yuan investigate.
As for Lin Jieniu.
Since you've already died once, let's just stop living again, even if the person "living" there is no longer the real Lin Jie Niu.
Killing is not necessarily done with fists.
Because the people you want to kill, there are also people who want to kill you.
...
...
Li Xuan and Wei Yao returned to the Magnolia Pavilion.
Er Niang came over quickly and asked: "When will the eldest young master plan to return to the county? We have been delayed here for a long time. It's time to go back."
Li Xuan originally wanted Er Niang to take his second brother back first, but when he thought about this troubled world, he felt uneasy. If something happened, Er Niang and his second brother would be gone.
So, he said: "Er Niang, the daughter of Cao Mansion has made an appointment with me for a small meeting. Let's go back together after I finish attending."
The daughter of the Cao family?
Erniang was shocked.
How long has it been since then that the eldest young master has hooked up with the daughter of a powerful family?
The daughter of the prefect's family is not comparable to that of a small family in the county.
She is also someone who understands the general situation and the interests of the family, and said hurriedly: "Okay, okay, young master, take your time, big things are the most important, big things are the most important."
Li Xuan smiled and said: "Second mother, just call me Xiaoxuan. I will always be a junior in front of you."
With that said, he stepped back again, gave a junior salute, and then left.
The second mother grabbed the second brother's ear and said: "Look, look, this is your elder brother, learn more."
The second brother was speechless and thought to himself: "Mother doesn't know what happened at the Peach Blossom Pavilion banquet that day. The eldest brother seems to be polite... but in fact he is just a beast in clothes." '
Erniang suddenly asked again: "Did the daughter of the Cao family go that day?"
The second brother nodded and said, "Her name is Cao Yi, and she is very close to the eldest brother."
"Close?"
Er Niang's eyes lit up, "Are you... interested in your elder brother?"
The second brother nodded. After all, even though he was still a child, he heard Cao Yi talking to his eldest brother, and the voice almost made him cry.
Erniang happily touched her hands and murmured, "Okay, okay, I know this, I'm afraid I won't be very happy."
With that said, Er Niang ran to the desk, spread out paper and pen, and started writing a letter.
She wanted to write a letter about the reason for her late return and the situation here, and then send the Li family cavalry back to deliver the letter to Xiongshan County to the master.
...
...
On the other side, after Li Xuan came back, he took a short rest and then changed his carriage to look for Zuo Hong.
He planned to go to Caobang to read, continue to practice the "Evergreen Kung Fu", and at the same time investigate the news.
...
...
In the afternoon, he met Zuo Hong.
At this time, the entire Twelve Links Dock was in the midst of a tense and tense killing, with disciples holding weapons and heading towards the upper reaches of the Qinghe River in groups.
That was the water village where Lin Jie Niu was.
After this "Lin Jie Niu" came back, he had not had time to do anything. He was naturally still in the water village at this time.
But no matter how turbulent the dock was, Zuo Hong didn't move. She obviously preferred "non-combatants".
She is still at Red Rock Pier.
Li Xuan looked at this rather chaotic scene and asked curiously: "Sister Zuo, what happened?"
Zuo Hong looked both ways, hesitated to speak, but finally said: "Brother Xuan, someone is coming."
Li Xuan was surprised and said: "In broad daylight, bandits actually entered the city?"
Zuo Hong said: "They are not bandits, they are... officers and soldiers."
Li Xuan showed a look of astonishment, and his whole body was shocked.
Zuo Hong waved her hands and said: "Forget it, our Twelve Links Wu is doing business honestly, and the officers and soldiers are not targeting our entire Cao Gang, but the Second Young Master Lin.
Let’s not talk about this anymore. After all, it actually has nothing to do with Brother Xuan.
Brother Xuan is here to read a book, right?
Come on, sister will take you to the headquarters. "
Li Xuan saluted and said, "Thank you."
Afterwards, the three of them arrived at the headquarters by a familiar route.
Li Xuan held out the "Evergreen Kung Fu" and started practicing in front of the visualization diagram.
This is in line with everyone’s attitude towards cultivation.
After all, there are a lot of details in the visualization diagram, and only by practicing according to it can there be no mistakes.
Wei Yao waited outside the stronghold. During this period, he found an empty forest and practiced his own spear.
Zuo Hong rode his horse back and made an appointment to have dinner together in the evening before leaving, and Li Xuan did not refuse.
...
...
Most of the day's practice passed quickly.
There were rapid footsteps in the distance.
Li Xuan looked up and saw a man in red approaching, it was Zuo Hong.
He took a long breath and stood up.
Practicing under the sunny sun seems to be a little faster...
He returned the "Everlasting Gong" and then met Zuo Hong.
Zuo Hong's face was filled with shock.
Li Xuandao: "Sister Zuo, is something wrong? If something happens..."
Zuo Hong said hurriedly: "It's okay, it's okay to have dinner with Brother Xuan. In a few days, Brother Xuan will return to Xiongshan County, and sister won't be able to invite her even if she wants to, so sister must cherish it."
Li Xuan smiled and said: "I have to cherish it too."
After a while, the three of them returned to Hongshiwu.
At the banquet, Zuo Hong told what happened today.
"Then General Yuan came to Lin Jie Niu and said he wanted to take Lin Jie Niu away.
But our Caogang cannot be bullied by others. Even if General Yuan wants to capture Lin Jianniu for no reason, it will never be possible.
But then..."
Zuo Hong said in shock, "General Yuan threw out a sack. There was a pool of squirming minced meat in the sack. The minced meat kept resurrecting into adults and was shot to pieces with powerful crossbows.
But after it was broken, it was still resurrected...
General Yuan said that Lin Jieniu was also such an evil spirit.
We don't believe it.
General Yuan asked Lin Jie Niu to cut himself to prove his innocence. If there was hot blood, it was normal. If there was no blood, there was no need to quibble.
As a result... Lin Jie Niu refused. "
She sighed and said: "In the end, Lin Jie Niu died. Although he was invulnerable to swords and guns, he was afraid of fire, and General Yuan had already brought rockets.
A fire arrow shot down, and Lin Jie Niu's whole body was ablaze, and then he let out a weird roar in the fire that was so terrifying that it didn't even resemble a human voice.
After a while, Lin Jie Niu turned into a pile of rotting corpses and fell to the ground, never to get up again.
I asked Cao Gang to do an examination and they said... Lin Jie Niu had been dead for several days.
I think he died the same day after leaving Yanziwu.
But why he left Yanziwu and where he went, no one knows..."
Li Xuan looked horrified, his hands and feet looking cold.
Seeing his frightened look, Zuo Hong suddenly stopped being afraid, and just said quietly: "General Yuan left Shuiwu, struck while the iron was hot, and went directly to the Cao Mansion, saying he wanted to find out Mr. Su.
Now, it seems that no one can stop him.
Many disciples from my Cao Gang were summoned and went to Cao Mansion together. "
Li Xuan stood up suddenly and said: "Zhifu Cao is my mentor, I can't just sit back and watch, I..."
Zuo Hong approached him and whispered softly: "Listen to my sister and go later. It's too early to go now."
Li Xuanyi said angrily: "Yuan Guan deceives people too much!"
He shouted so loudly that the Cao Gang disciples guarding the gate outside could hear him.
Seeing that he was about to run out, Zuo Hong hurriedly grabbed him and shouted: "Brother Xuan, you are a student. You must be useful and serve the court. The right and wrong will be settled when the dust settles. Don't be anxious, don't be anxious..."
Li Xuan sat back again, sighed, and murmured: "I hope nothing will happen to my mentor."
