Sitting in the small courtyard next to the wine shop, Li Chenan and Huang Sanlie drank tea and chatted.
"When do you plan to go to Kyoto?"
Li Chen'an thought for a while, "There's no rush, maybe mid to late July. The main thing is to see when the master plans to leave for Yue."
When it comes to this issue, Huang Sanlie was silent for a moment, "I think it's better to advise your master. The reason is very simple. You are going to Kyoto and you need his protection."
Li Chenan looked at Huang Sanlie while holding the tea cup, frowning slightly: "No chance of winning?"
"A half-step grand master is also a grand master! It's a bit difficult!"
"What's more, Monk Jiudeng is not only the great protector of the country of Yue, he is also the abbot of the Xilin Temple of the country of Yue..."
"The country of Yue is not only famous for its passionate Yue girls, it is also famous for its two Zen sects, the Eastern and Western sects."
"In the past, Donglin Chanyuan was the one that stabilized Xilin Chanyuan. Donglin Chanyuan occupied the position of the great mage who protected the country of Yue for more than a hundred years. Until thirty years ago, Xilin Chanyuan came out with the monk Jiu Deng."
Huang Sanlie took a sip of tea and said, "Although Senior Wu has mastered the Fujian Zhoutian Technique of Xijian Tower, if he had perfected it, he should have entered the ranks of the Grand Master...so I thought I would wait a little longer."
Li Chenan was silent for a long time.
These days, Wu Xichen and I can be said to have been getting along day and night. Although the two are master and disciple, they are more like a pair of friends who have been together for many years.
Over the years, Wu Xichen has been looking for a successor to his mantle. He has met many young people with martial arts talents, but without exception, no one can understand the Fujian Zhoutian Jue.
Just when he was disappointed with this, God gave him a surprise. Li Chenan actually understood the four movements of Fuji Zhou Tianjue overnight!
Although he had never praised Li Chenan, in fact, he was extremely shocked!
Because over the thousands of years since the Xijian Tower, apart from the amazingly talented Patriarch, all the ancestors who have understood the Fujian Zhoutian Jue in the past generations have gradually understood it step by step.
That patriarch is not.
He understood the nine movements directly.
Neither did Li Chenan, he understood the four movements directly!
The Patriarch entered martial arts with the first nine movements of Fuji Zhou Tian Jue. Ten years later, he understood the next nine movements and became an invincible grand master!
Wu Xichen looked forward to the day when Li Chenan would be able to understand some of the following moves. He believed that Li Chenan, who was only seventeen years old, would most likely be able to enter the ranks of the Grand Master!
So he gave the Fuji Sword to Li Chenan.
Because the Fuji Sword could not stay in the Xilin Temple of Yue Kingdom.
Also because he hopes that Li Chenan can one day return to the sword-washing tower of Wu State with this Fuji sword on his back!
Li Chenan didn't know this, but Huang Sanlie could guess some.
Therefore, in Huang Sanlie's view, if Li Chenan decided to stay, Wu Xichen would most likely stay, because what he failed to do could be pinned on Li Chenan.
But Li Chenan shook his head after thinking for a moment.
"Some things need to be done after all."
"The fight between Master and Monk Jiudeng was ten years ago. He said he was not defeated. He also said that Monk Jiudeng only stepped into that door a year ago... I think they should have been There was an agreement."
"Master is going to keep an appointment. If I force him to stay, he will not only break his trust with Jiudeng Monk. What I'm worried about is... with the knot in his heart that he has not moved past, I am afraid that it will be difficult for him to pry into the fan in his life. The doorway."
"For a person who is obsessed with martial arts, this will probably become a lifelong regret... Even if he really loses, at least his wish is fulfilled, and at least he has no regrets in his life!"
Huang Sanlie said nothing more.
Because he had nothing to say.
Also because of the regret buried in his heart.
"I went to Kyoto. The current situation in Kyoto is extremely complicated... I mean, your current identity is also a bit complicated. Others may not understand your intentions, so be careful."
"Senior Wu is not with you, and Ye Po has to stay in Guangling. Although you will be traveling with Mr. Su and Miss Murong... I still think it is safer for you to take the Twelve Golden Hairpins of Lijing Division with you. .”
Li Chenan shook his head: "The Huo family and Shen family must be on guard!"
"Don't look at Huo Chuanming's groveling in front of me. I'm afraid he already hates me!"
"I don't believe in Huo Xi, the old head of the Huo family. That old guy always has every plan and every plan is right... The Huo family is trying to slow things down. They just want to stabilize me. Then, they are... Waiting for an opportunity we don’t know about!”
"Huo Xi went to Kyoto to take Huo Shufan to meet Concubine Li."
"I heard from Magistrate Liu that Concubine Li is the daughter of Duke Yan! Isn't there another great master of Ning State, Yan Jidao, in the Duke of Yan's palace?"
"Tell me, if that boy Huo Shufan really becomes the Sixth Princess's consort...will the Yan Kingdom Government deal with me, a little shrimp, because of this?"
"You are not a little shrimp!" Huang Sanlie frowned slightly and said very seriously: "If the Duke of Yan really wants to take action against you, its target is the Zhongli Mansion behind you!"
"If Duke Yan's government targets you and forces Zhongli's government to stand in front of the stage... I suddenly understand why Mrs. Fan mentioned Shuzhou again!"
Li Chenan was shocked. He already knew that the documents from the Ministry of Civil Affairs would soon arrive in Guangling City, and Liu Zuo was about to leave his post and go to Shuzhou to serve as the prefect.
Originally, Liu Zui said it was just a normal transfer. It was just that Shuzhou was more remote and colder.
Hearing what Huang Sanlie said at this moment, he realized that this was the chess piece left by Mrs. Fan in Kyoto.
In other words, Mrs. Fan has noticed some subtle changes. This is to prepare for a rainy day and leave an escape route for Zhongli Mansion... Of course, it may also make Shuzhou a rear area that Zhongli Mansion can rely on.
This situation is really complicated!
Li Chenan sighed, thinking that it would be difficult to live a carefree life in Guangling City. Then he would have to make some arrangements like Mrs. Fan.
"Then you have to be more careful about opening a wine shop in Shuzhou."
Huang Sanlie nodded, "We are already making arrangements."
"Okay, also...can I get iron? Iron ingots or iron ore will do, as well as war horses."
Huang Sanlie was startled, "I can think of a solution for the iron mine. As for the war horses, you have to go to Kyoto and ask the master or the old lady for help."
"I understand. Next, we will build a blacksmith pond northwest of this winery and find a trustworthy blacksmith. I think I can improve the method of smelting iron."
Huang Sanlie immediately looked at Li Chenan, and suddenly remembered that Li Chenan once said that he had many new gadgets. Could it be that he also had a unique skill in this smelting method?
If he could really smelt better iron... Of course Huang Sanlie knew the meaning of this.
"Can you leave later?"
"I'll go find Master Qiuyang later and get some iron ore from the Salt and Iron Division in Guangling City."
"...There are still about twenty days to go. That thing is quite simple. The key lies in the reliability of the craftsman!"
"I also want to entrust you with one more thing. When the sugar cane is harvested in Guangling Prefecture, help me buy more sugar cane."
Huang Sanlie was surprised again: "What's that thing doing?"
Li Chenan smiled slightly: "It's very useful."
This world already has fire and medicine. If you add some sugar to it... I heard this in my previous life, but I can verify it in this world.
