Under the dim moonlight, Laiheng walked alone to the huge blue stone outside the gate of the "Guo Gong"'s house, and sat down regardless of how cold it was on the blue stone.
After returning from Xingshan, De Laiheng was troubled by the successive bad news. He suddenly thought of his father, grandfather and beloved Uncle Shuangxi, and sometimes thought of the many difficulties he was facing now, and what would happen to Xiangyang and Jingzhou. action, whether Wang Guangsheng will lead the Qing troops to capture hundreds of cities, and there is also the issue of food and grass. Although he didn't want to think too much about what would happen to his grandmother, mother, and the families of many soldiers if the Qing soldiers came over, these things always disturbed him and prevented him from calming down to consider a problem carefully. In extreme depression, he had to ask himself:
"Are you just going to admit defeat? Is there no way out?"
Unable to give himself an answer for the moment, he sighed, looked up at Li Yong and Pi Xingyong who were sparring under the pine tree not far away, and walked towards them.
Only when he sees his relatives, friends, soldiers and people, the gloom on Laiheng's face will be swept away.
He smiled and said to the two of them: "You two compete with each other in swordsmanship, let me see."
At this time, I saw Pi Xingyong immediately take two steps back, put the tip of the sword down, clasped his fists with both hands, and said: "Please!" And Li Yong also followed the martial arts etiquette, clasped his fists in a bow, and said "Please!" Suddenly, The long sword in Pi Xingyong's hand rolled up a gust of wind and thunder, and the sword energy was vertical and horizontal, and the white light was dazzling. This was the first style of Xiaotian Sword Technique "Wind and Cloud Surge" taught by Li Laiheng. In the silver brilliance, people arrived and swords arrived.
Li Yong did not dare to neglect, and suddenly drew out the long sword behind his back and cut it on the opponent's sword. He heard a "swish" sound. He used the "stick" technique to easily neutralize Pi Xingyong's sword power in an instant, and then moved away with the sword. Lightly, the sword he handed out emitted a green mist that covered Pi Xingyong. For a moment, he put the sword back into its sheath with an extremely cool and calm attitude. Looking at the other party, a small lock of hair on Pi Xingyong's forehead was slowly growing. falling.
"Good, good! You deserve the title of 'Quick Sword' in our army. It is indeed extraordinary!" Laiheng clapped his hands and praised.
Xingyong scratched his head and stepped aside.
"Xingyong, you have only a short time to practice swordsmanship, and you still need more time. You must ask Li Yong for more advice in the future."
Li Yong looked at Pi Xingyong and smiled confidently, "The Duke of Guo doesn't always praise others." Li Yong was thinking in his heart. Pi Xingyong blushed and felt slightly ashamed.
At this time, the Duke of Guo smiled again and said, "You guys just finish practicing." Then he left. Because he suddenly remembered the wooden box that his grandma gave him yesterday. "The red lady said that thing is useful to me, but I don't know what its actual use is?"
Laiheng thought, and before he knew it, he had reached the end of the long corridor in the mansion, where his study and secret room were located.
Press the button and enter a room like an abbot.
I saw a banner hanging on the wall opposite, "Indifferent to clear aspirations, tranquility and far-reaching". On the left hand desk were placed the Four Treasures of the Study and a Song version of "Zi Zhi Tong Jian". On the right hand side is a large red lacquered and gold standing cabinet with a copper lock on it, but it is not locked. Laiheng approached the standing cabinet with curiosity, carefully picked up the heavy wooden box wrapped with yellow silk and placed it on the desk. As soon as he opened the corner of the yellow silk, a faint fragrance penetrated his nostrils, and he continued to lift the yellow silk, and suddenly the whole The interior is dim and misty. Within the Huang Ling, the fragrance flowed continuously, and Laiheng seemed to feel that he was in a fairyland! For a moment, he immediately calmed down. This is incredible!
His mood calmed down a little, and then he quickly opened the Huang Ling, and two large golden seal characters "Heavenly Book" came into view.
Leghorn stared closely at the wooden box of unknown material in front of him. The aroma that fills the house comes from this. He couldn't wait to find out what kind of treasure was hidden inside!
Then he slowly opened the wooden box with slightly trembling hands.
A scene that surprised him even more appeared.
The opening of the wooden box makes the light in the room suddenly increase a thousand times, just like the brilliance emitted by thousands of luminous pearls, dazzling! !
Leghorn carefully looked at the items inside. The wooden box was divided into three rows: upper, middle and lower. In the middle of the top row is a slightly yellowed ancient book, with the word "Heavenly Book" also written in seal script. There is a grid on both sides of the book, and pill pills the size of soybeans are stacked in each grid. The left side is red and the right side is purple. . The row in the middle contains green, yellow, and blue pills. Laiheng looked at these colorful thin pills and felt indescribable excitement in his heart. "Looking at this situation, could it be the Tiantai Zi Ning Taoist magic pill that was lost in the previous dynasty?" "Laiheng said to himself.
It turns out that Taoist Zi Ning from Tiantai was extremely famous in the previous dynasty, and the "Yi Jin Jing" now in the Shaolin Bodhidharma Monastery was actually written by Taoist Zi Ning. After practicing the "Yi Jin Jing", people can realize Buddhism and live a long life.
Thinking about this, he looked at the bottom row again.
Inside the grid are placed various kinds of jade pieces that are either pure white, emerald green, or beige. They cannot be named, but these jade pieces are all shining with brilliance and splendor, as if they are living individuals. Leghorn knew that each of these items should be worth a lot of money!
He hurriedly closed the ajar door to the secret room. As the saying goes: It's better to be careful if you don't reveal your wealth in vain.
Leghorn was in a much better mood now than before.
He estimated that the mysterious heavenly book was most likely the "Yi Jin Jing"!!
In the Duke's Mansion, on the door next to the penthouse on the left, there are several italic characters "Confidential Place" written by Song Qingping herself. There are many important documents, military symbols, and tokens piled inside. Qingping was sitting on a chair thinking about something, when suddenly the voice of a soldier came from outside the door: "Chinese Army, there are some Tang newspapers from several places, do you want them to be reviewed by you now?"
"When did you arrive?" Qingping asked.
"I just arrived, Tang Ma is still waiting outside the door." The soldier replied.
"Okay, bring it." Qingping said as she stood up and opened the door. Take the newspaper and close the door. Soldiers stood outside the door.
Qingping quickly opened the newspaper, read it carefully from cover to cover under the lamp, frowned, pondered for a moment, and then ordered: "Go and invite the Duke!"
"The Duke has been in the palace for a long time. I don't dare to disturb you. I'd rather ask the army to go there in person." The soldier outside the door said timidly.
"Okay, I'll go." After saying that, he took two copies of the Tang Declaration and walked towards the inner palace.
"Dong, dong." There was a knock on the door. Laiheng was startled and asked:
"who?"
"I, Qingping".
Laiheng was so happy that he immediately opened the door and said:
"Qingping, come quickly!"
Song Qingping noticed something strange when she opened the door at Laiheng. The room was filled with mist and the fragrance was fragrant. This was a good omen!
"Qingping, you are the only one who recognizes this seal script. Please help me identify it quickly." Laiheng said while pointing to the wooden box on the desk.
Qingping was stunned for a moment, then came back to her senses immediately, "Yeah, okay" and hurriedly got closer to watch. Qingping opened the Book of Heaven... Before she could finish reading one page, she saw him turn over and kneel on the ground, shouting:
"Congratulations to the general, congratulations to the general!"...
